I love this record. I wish the Harry Dean Stanton and Dean Stockwell screenplay that inspired it was made.

I’m not listening to this shit. Into the Mystic is a decent song. Otherwise Van Morrison is an anti-vax bullshit artist.

Björk is a mood. Surprisingly her singing as I wandered through a crowded Costco kept me sane?

Jazz influenced early 90s hip hop checks all of my boxes. Not sure why I’ve never heard of this duo before. Worth the listen!

Not sure how I didn’t know about the Prince and Madonna collab. Also when the choir comes in towards there end of Like A Prayer *chefs kiss*

It’s hard not to like the Kinks. Far more English than the Stones or Beatles. They can be more of an acquired taste but worth the effort.

Sunny Afternoon is a classic. This album really is a transition from their early records to the Ray Davies dominated late 60s, early 70s classic records.

Maybe it’s me but I feel like grunge is not a genre that has aged particularly well. I’ll give this record a “it’s fine” rating, really based on the obvious Neil Young references.

More like Bitches Poo, am I right?

This record was everywhere. Adele’s got some pipes.

Maybe this would be okay if it was actually the score to a film. But it ain’t, so it ain’t.

Easy listening psychedelic. Worse ways to spend a half hour.

Playground Love brought me back to driving my 1988 Dodge Omni around the roads of Upstate New York listening to WBER.

Not sure I needed that bit of nostalgia.

Johnny Rotten sucks.

Impressive from a technical standpoint. Underwhelming as music to enjoy.

Just a beautiful record.

Oh mercy, mercy me!

Life’s too short to listen to dub influenced British reggae while sober.

The first 3 Arcade Fire records are pretty unimpeachable for me. They hit at a particular time in my life where they just made sense.

The better of the Let It Be records. Subversive, ironic, funny - the Replacements at their best.

Look - I like Nick Cave but man this dude is bleak as fuck, even when he’s not bleak.
