Highlights: moondance (did not know it was Morrison's).
This was ok, smooth dad rock, 2*

Never listened to Lana after her first huge album. Really enjoyable, but I think I'm a little old for the target demographic, 3*

Enjoyed this sound, it's the kind of relaxing/indie shit that I can work to. 3*

Never heard of this band, some nice sounds but not remarkable. 2*

I got whiplash going from Pantera to Elton John.
Tiny Dancer is a great opener, but I'm not sure the rest measures up to it. I like Elton, but this album didn't quite do it for me. Rotten peaches convinced me Elton can sing about anything.

Walk is badass, too bad these guys are nazis. A lot of screaming in this one.

I recognize the talent and how iconic this is, but again not my jam. Kind of a huge bummer, would fit if I was cosplaying a 50s cocktail party. 3*

I respect Jimmi's guitar playing and recognize he's iconic, but this is not super my kind of music. Meanders too much. 3*
Highlight: voodoo child (the second one)

I enjoyed this album, but I'm kind of uneducated on good vs. bad hip hop. 3*
Highlight: bring the noise (shoutout to tony hawk pro skater 2)

What even is this. It's the morning after the 2024 election, and this is not the hangover cure I need for that shitshow. 2*

I know nothing of these guys outside bittersweet symphony. Their last album I listened to was right in the middle of the road. This one is also a 2*, nice, but just ok IMO, it all blended together.

Refreshing, love Stevie's voice and the funky instrumentals. Wish more of it was like superstition. 4*
Highlights: superstition (that bass line!!), i believe

This project is obsessed with 70s punk and most of it is not that interesting. 2*

This very much defined soft pop radio in the early aughts. Nice easy listening.
Highlights: don’t know why

This project has been a Bowie education. Didn't know Changes was his.
For 1971 this sounds very refreshing. 3-4*
Highlights: changes, life on mars

Ah yes, the running up that hill album, that song got played to death a couple of years ago, making it go from rediscovered gem to overplayed. 2*, only because not really my jam.
Highlights: jig of life (love the irish influence)

This is my third Cohen album on this project, I still don't really like his singing. Like, you can have a low gravelly voice, and do the whole speaking-not-really-singing thing, and not sound this terrible. 1*
Lowlight: Did he have to sing/grunt like that for diamonds in the mine? Maybe drink some honey tea?
Mild highlight: famous blue raincoat was actually kind of nice, but I think it just cancels out "diamonds"

Pay-what-you-want is iconic and something that would not work anymore.
I'm always down for more Radiohead. This is a solid 5*, especially on a rainy morning.
Highlights: weird fishes/arpeggi, the rhythm of 15 step, bodysnatchers, jigsaw falling into place

This is an ok album; there are elements that will make future Who good, but not quite there, maybe because I listened to the mono version. The cover makes me think of Oasis. 2*
Highlights: my generation

Eno is my favorite NYT crossword answer
