Here's Little Richard

Little Richard · 1 likes

5/5

I don’t care if these “all sound the same” I was loving all of it. Hard not to listen to this and come out with a good mood and sore calves from bouncing about

Up and down on this one. Some are good fun, but some just take you out. Only 2 really caught my attention with their respective lyrics and style. Rest was meh

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

2/5

Very talented but not really my speed. Felt like I was in an elevator. A relatively funky one, but still

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

3/5

Fun and short. For those of who grew up with crappy stadium pop country, it’s nice to go back to things like this

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Clapton is an ass, so I figured I was primed to not enjoy this. However, I was pleasantly surprised and had a good time. Outside of Layla I had never heard any of the other songs

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

5/5

Had a blast. Bopping all morning. Went off to listen to his other stuff. Easy 5 stars.

Achtung Baby

3/5

I’ve been a U2 apologist because I listened to a lot of their stuff growing up. This album was never really one of my favorites, and I think was a sign of things to come (in a bad way).

808 State

2/5

Felt like I should have had this on while playing Contra or something. Not bad, but not something I would ever return to and did not make me want to explore the genre much further. Maybe some other album will, but this one didn’t hit for me

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Have always heard of this band but never really ever listened to their stuff. Enjoyed the ride. I can see why they were so influential

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

3/5

Energetic (obviously) but did not particularly engage me outside of a few moments. As far as live albums, it’s not the best, but certainly far from the worst. Had fun with the cover of “Ain’t That a Shame.” Could never stand “I Want You To Want Me”.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Great Wednesday hump day pick me up; giddy up let’s goooo

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

4/5

Like listening to a movie soundtrack about alien abductions. Chill ambient music, had it on while working. Must have been very cutting edge in the 70s. Put it on again later in the evening and slipped into a flow state so good shit

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

3/5

Pretty good. Lots of bits reminded me of Spinal Tap’s “Listen to the Flower People” and I couldn’t shake it lol. “Time of the Season” obviously a smash

Pere Ubu

3/5

Some truly odd shit going on in this album. Scratches and wails. “Thriller!” could’ve been written for an A24 horror flick and fit right in. Weirdly catchy in parts, despite the chaos

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

Really fun, always like jazz and rap fusions

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

What an album. Had heard 3 of the songs before (the obvious ones) but I was stunned by the ones I had not heard before, such as “Planet Caravan” and its softness. “Hand of Doom” just wow I think if I listened to this in 1970 I’d have levitated

Pet Sounds
