This was great. Fun beats. Shitty men. Great women.

Definitely maybe not a record I needed to listen to before I die.

I’m not sure why I never got into Black Sabbath. I was huge into Zeppelin circa 1995, you would have thunk Sabbath would be a natural next step.

Well it wasn’t. So here we are.

I mean I get the appeal of KISS. Are they kitschy as fuck? Sure. But sometimes kids need some accessible rock n roll.

Even if this record was “Respect” and then Aretha Franklin farting this would be a 5.

Afro Cuban Jazz that makes you want to shake your hips. Not mad about it.

This record was everywhere when it came out. I have fond memories of walking my dog listening to this on my iPod Nano.

Still I hadn’t listened to the Black Keys in years and this was a fun stroll down memory lane.

You could listen to this - OR listen to the Fairport Convention who did a way better version of all this.

I’m not big on Steely Dan. But Old School is a great tune. I suppose compared to a lot of the records I’ve gotten lately this is at listenable.

Some shitty psychedelic rock.

Who doesn’t love an almost Hüsker Dü record?

Oh look even more crap Brit Pop.

A big ole no for me.

Bill Evans is solid. He may not be as iconoclastic as Monk. But he’s no schlub.

I got my license the summer 99. As such I heard Central Reservation too many times to count as I listened to the alt radio station and drove through the wilds of Western New York.

Now I want to smoke a Camel Red and think about a pre-9/11 proto paradise.

How have I not listened straight through this one before? It must have been raining mackerel and trout.

Deep groove funk. Not mad about it.

Not for me.

I’m convinced that the only two records of Elvis Costello worth listening to are this and This Years Model. The rest are fucking slogs.

If you like depressing British orchestral pop that sounds vaguely like Coldplay mixed with the Hold Steady - boy do I have a record for you.
