Rated 10/10

I am super biased. I had this album in my Walkman from 8th through half of 9th grade and listened to it nonstop. I can tell you every note that comes next. I can't listen to this objectively.

Many would not put this on their REM list, but I have to. It's "The End of the World as We Know It." "Open My Eyes" as James McCarthy. Always love the wordplay on "The One I Love." Peter Buffett's guitars are pretty darn good too

Never heard of this before and liked it quite a bit as long as she was singing. Knocked down a star for when he stepped up vocally. I'm a big Bob Dylan fan, and even I couldn't handle his voice.

I really don't know Morrissey or the Smiths. I know I should, but I don't. I think I listened to at least one Smiths album as part of this project. It didn't do much for me. This album did. It was punchy, sarcastic, and highly listenable.

Rated 8/10

I really like Traffic, and I guess I really like Steve winwood, which is good because I grew up in the 80s, and Steve winwood of that period was real schlock. The Traffic albums are great. This is probably my least favorite of all the Traffic albums, but still very much worth listening to, in my opinion.

This is such a tender heartfelt album. I’m a big Billy fan. This is her second best. My favorite is the one before which characters are similar tone in flavor, but has more standard jazz instrumentation Songs for Distingué Love

Like many this is not the Zepplin album I normally return to, but who doesn’t love immigrant song? And I was really impressed with friends and some of the other songs in between immigrant and gallows pole
