Not my favorite sabbath.

Meh

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

Felt like a lot of filler.

Better than I thought but don’t know if I need to listen last the singles.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Pretty good.

Zombie by Fela Kuti

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk

I did not enjoy this.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma

Fine. I’ve heard better ragas

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music by Ray Charles

Solid Air by John Martyn

Sounds like if you went to a bar and there was a crappy Nick Drake knockoff playing. You don’t say anything, you just finish your drink and leave to avoid hearing the rest of the set.

Graceland by Paul Simon

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton

Classic

Smash by The Offspring

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Lots of songs I’ve heard from this album. I’ve avoided listening to it for decades. I’m glad I got to have so much of my life where I didn’t have to listen to this. Sadly yesterday was the last day of my life where I hadn’t heard this all the way through. Neil Young songs are ok but sound like b-sides from his better albums. Other music is good harmonies but lyrics that are some of the dumbest I have ever heard, even by pop music standards.

Classic album and honestly probably the first one I’ve had in a few weeks that I would agree is a must listen. This I album is a great intro into Krautrock, which is such a vital genre for almost anything that came after it besides maybe country and top 40 (I am including hip-hop and disco as being influenced by Krautrock). I so felt hope that this stands as a jumping off point for a few people into other artists from this genre such as NEU!, Ashra Tempel, Faust, Cluster/Kluster, etc.
