Bowie’s one of the figures I’m most interested in getting my head around through this project. Favorite thing I've heard from him so far!

I have a soft spot for certain types/eras of metal, this is not one of my preferred ones though

BORING.

Miserable headphones listen, his voice is so loud in the mix I can’t enjoy the music. Admittedly I might feel different if I understood French and could tell what he was saying lol

I think I like the idea of his states project more than I really care for the music itself

Voodoo-flavored psychedelia, very fun and weird. From never having heard of this guy, to liking this album a lot, to looking up more about him, learning I knew a bunch of stuff from him and also learning that he was the visual inspiration for Dr. Teeth from the muppets’ The Electric Mayhem.

Incredibly solid funk, some really famous tracks on here that I didn’t realize was them!

Any one of these would be a fine contribution to a playlist, good lord they all sound the fucking same back-to-back on an album.

Never listened to these guys back when they were a going concern, so this one’s a fun time capsule and also cipher key for understanding like 50 different memes. Killing In The Name alone resolved so many fucking previously-incomprehensible jokes for me.

Not the first soul album to come up, but this was one that, like a couple others that have come up, that actually make the genre click for me properly. Liked this one from the start.

Interesting that they threw a live album on there. If that was on the table, why come they didn’t put Stop Making Sense on there though (according to the wiki)?? Anyway this was decent, fun guitar noodling.

what if good jazzy background music, but played on a baseball organ. Nice for an afternoon.

Double album really long, but the songs are quick and varied, so doesn’t get boring.

Very nostalgic album, definitely in my personal pantheon. Second half drags a bit, but first half more than earns it.

More jazz. I remembered to play it on actual speakers instead of headphones this time, which helped a lot; music intended for a very different listening experience than how I normally do it.

Two Weeks is extremely fucking overplayed to the point it scuffs up the entire rest of an otherwise decent album.

I can’t access the hype for them yet, but I got there with springsteen and I know these guys come up again on the list, so got high hopes.

My grandpa spinning in his grave that I think this is really really boring

Ohhh it’s the california dreamin people! Lovely harmonizing, aggressive stereo mixing that forced me to switch off of headphones and listen out loud

quite good yet put me in a really sour mood
