Another one I'm a big fan of, I hadn't heard of Nick Drake before but I'm a sucker for a singer/songwriter that starts including horns and woodwinds. Favorites are Hazey Jane II and One Of These Things First

I like this one a lot, normally I prefer songs that focus on the lyrics more but I'm so blown away by the soundscape the album creates that it overrides that preference. Favorites are Fight Test and Do You Realize??

This one hits hard, very rawly emotional, and very sparse which adds to the effect. Favorites are Speakin' Out and Borrowed Tune

I like the first few songs on this one but it gets old quickly for me. Favorites are Expectations and She's Losing It

I tried to give this album a fair shot but I just don't like the red hot chili peppers, never really have, so I didn't like the album much either

I really wanted to like this one and there are songs that I like a lot including Roadhouse Blues and Ship of Fools, but the songs I don't like as much end up feeling pretty grating to the point that the album is just 'meh' overall for me

Similar to my feelings about the other Mayfield album I've gotten, this is alright but I also don't love it. I'm not sure if my problem is with funk as a genre or Mayfield specifically, but I guess we'll see going forward. Favorites are Pusherman and Superfly

This one is really good, I was already a fan of CSNY but I hadn't listened to much of any of their solo stuff. It's not quite all bangers but it's pretty close, favorites are Southern Man and Don't Let It Bring You Down

I didn't like this one much at all, the guitar for most of the second half of the album is pretty good and that's about all the nice things I have to say about it lol. Can't Stop and Eyeballin are pretty good

This one is very pleasant, all the arrangements are minimalistic but Nelson's voice is great and they're all classic pop songs. Favorites are Blue Skies and Don't Get Around Much Anymore

I thought this was alright. I really like it when it's a little more energetic, especially the horns sections, but when it slows down it loses me a bit. Favorite songs are So in Love and Love to the People.

I feel very meh about this one. I like the first few songs, especially E-Pro and Qué Onda Guero, but then it just kinda drones on and I don't get much out of it after that

This one is famous for side 2 being one long song, but I actually found myself preferring side 1. I like My Mirage and Termination, but overall it was pretty meh imo

I came into this not having listened to much Johnny Cash before and I enjoyed it a lot. The live format works really well, it gives the whole thing a tangible human quality. Favorites are Starkville City Jail and San Quentin

I appreciate the emotion and energy this has, but I just can't get past not really liking her voice, and the instrumentals are whatever for me. All I Really Want and Right Through You are pretty good.

I've had Public Enemy on my to-listen list for a while and this didn't disappoint. I love the sample-heavy style, my favorites are Brothers Gonna Work It Out and Who Stole The Soul? but I also have a soft spot for the pettiness in Incident At 66.6 FM

We're back after a brief hiatus, this one didn't quite land for me. It sounds nice enough, and the instrumental soundscape aspect of side 2 was interesting, but I didn't find myself wanting to listen again. Favorites are Beauty and the Beast and Heroes

I didn't like this one much at all, it's probably strongest in the songs from the pov of characters but even then I didn't find myself wanting to relisten to any of them. I thought My Old Man and If I Was with a Woman were decent

More Dusty Springfield! I liked this one a lot more than A Girl Called Dusty, the songs are excellent top to bottom and my only complaint is I wanted even more up-tempo stuff. Favorites are Son of a Preacher Man and Breakfast in Bed

I can't say I liked this one very much, I'm not familiar with bossa nova music but this album as an introduction was mostly boring to me, nothing was especially memorable after two listens. I thought Stay and The Face I Love were decent
