Both Belle and Sebastian and Drive By Truckers are incredible bands

LOL!!! This DBT album is absolute trash so far

Uncultured swine

LOLLL!

Yesterday I got Neil Young's "On The Beach" which is one of my favorite albums ever. Today I'm paying for that brief moment of joy by having to slog through a fucking hour and a half Van Morrison double live album. Somebody just take me out behind the barn and put a bullet in my head with this shit

Van Morrison fan checking in - it’s a good live album

Yesterday was a Randy Newman album. First time during this project I couldn’t finish the whole album. I can’t take his voice seriously.

Today is Lynyrd Skynyrds first album. Three of the four songs of theirs I know (simple man, Tuesdays gone, and free bird), are all on this one. That is an absolutely insane debut.

[throwdemgunz]

Ok what the fuck. The last 4 days have been Fleet Foxes, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Lupe Fiasco. Just a murderers row of shitty 00s music.

Paul Simon Hearts and Bones yesterday - snooze fest
Pixies Bossanova today - hell yeah!

NO ONE will fault you for this!

Gene Clark-No Other

That's kinda how I felt about the Paul Simon album I had yesterday. I'm only familiar with the title track of that Gene Clark album but I love it!

[captainsunshine]

today i got The Waterboys' Fisherman's Blues. I am actually excited to peep this. the only stuff of theirs I know is This Is The Sea. I know it will have a little bit of the irish/scottish (i forget where they come from) stank to it which usually im kinda meh on but I love This Is The Sea so I have high hopes

Oh man I love Gene Clark. His album Roadmaster and his shit with the Byrds is top tier.

[captainsunshine]

damn I am not usually into this kind of thing but am really fucking into this song

[captainsunshine]

I really love that Gene Clark album but can totally understand why people would not be into it

[captainsunshine]

there is this really great video of a bunch of different musicians who got together to do a live show of Gene Clark's No Other and this cover of Life's Greatest Fool is really good (if you already into the song, of course) 

[accidentalcharm]

I was thinking y’all were talking about Gene Krupa for a min lol

Definitely not the same

My recents:

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath 👍 Wouldn’t really seek out to listen to again though
X - Wild Gift 👍
Sugar - Copper Blue ❤️

Today I got effin’ U2 - All That You Can’t Leave Behind
Currently listening and it’s putting me in a bad mood. Do not like.

[Mr. Dingle Foot]

The Beatles - 1964

I dont think ive ever, by choice, listened to a full Beatles album.

I honestly listen to this album at least once a week

[stevedave]

Today’s album is RHCP- Californication.

When I was in high school, a friend of mine got me into these guys and I was probably John Frusciante’s biggest (straight edge) fan, and this was easily my favorite album. Didn’t take too long to grow out of that phase, thank satan. I think I can still enjoy the singles enough to tolerate, but the rest of this will be a slog.

My best friend who is also trying to do this project also got a rhcp album today. I think the algorithm wants us all to have a sick, chill ass Friday.

[escapedfromthevalley]

Radiohead The Bends today. Never been a fan. Expected too hate it, but so far I'm pleasantly surprised

[concealer]

Randy Newman rules and so does Sykynyrd

Gimme Three Steps is so goated. You should definitely check out the second one, it's got just as many hits imo

Day 1 - Elvis Presley (s/t) 3/5
Day 2 - AC/DC (Back In Black) 1/5
Day 3 - Big Brother & The Holding Company (Cheap Thrills) 4/5
Day 4 - The Offspring (Smash) 2/5
Day 5 - Franz Ferdinand (s/t) 3/5

Day 6 - Simon & Garfunkel (Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme) 3/5 - found a few tracks I really enjoyed from this (Patterns especially is very beautiful) but most of them sounded the same to me

Day 7 - The Flaming Lips (The Soft Bulletin) 1/5 - some of the most masturbatory bullshit I've ever heard in my life and probably objectively the worst vocals in all of rock music, I hate the Flaming Lips so much, all of the insipid lowbrow attempts at a "grand" arena sound like Coldplay and U2 but also with none of the talent of either

Day 8 - Janelle Monae (The ArchAndroid) 5/5 - This has been one of my favorite soul/R&B albums of all time for over 10 years now and I will never get tired of it, one of the best concept albums of all time seriously go listen to it

Day 9 - GZA (Liquid Swords) 4/5 - An absolute classic I never listened to in full until now, still sounds so effortless and smooth all these years later, only not 5/5 because I don't think it's GZA's best album

Day 10 - Ms. Dynamite (A Little Deeper) 2/5 - Why is this even on this list, very generic and dated early 2000s R&B, absolutely not something you need to listen to "before you die". Knockoff Lauryn Hill but English? You can tell this list was made by a Brit in the early 2000s because there is no other conceivable way someone would see this album as relevant or timeless otherwise

Day 11 - Nine Inch Nails (The Downward Spiral) - 4/5 cornier than I remember, but still holds up

Day 12 - Skepta (Konnichiwa) - 2/5 more random UK dogshit showing the author's bias, but this time it's a really corny grime album. Ludacris nursery rhyme type bars, skits that belong in a rap album from 2003... it's bad

Day 13 - The Wire (Pink Flag) - 5/5 this album changed my life when I was a teenager and made me fall in love with punk -- so blessed for this being one of my first introductions to punk and I can't believe it came out in 1977, this could be a fresh album in every single year since

Day 14 - The Fall (This Nation's Saving Grace) - 5/5 to be honest I didn't really get The Fall until Sean made me like an 85 song long playlist of their songs -- I've successfully been brainwashed into getting them -- when I was first getting into older post-punk in high school I found them boring and did not have the patience to listen through their massive discography, now I love them so much especially this one it's one of their more accessible ones

Day 15 - Johnny Cash (At San Quentin) 2/5 - this just felt like a throwaway bootleg recording for diehard Johnny Cash fans rather than a good live album

meh. The best song was basically a Specials b-side.

It’s hard to care about Seventeen Seconds when its followed by Faith, which is also recorded in a really oddball way (massive tape loops, contact mics on drums, etc.)

[stevedave]

Le Tigre self titled today. I liked the first half but the more electronic it got, they lost me.

[presinald trunt]

The Fall was my favorite band, I bought 3 or 4 records before it clicked. Dragnet was the one that did it. I basically quit listening to them when he died though

I have a bunch of cool Fall stuff. I'll post some of it. Mark E. Smith gave me a beer.

Totally agree with this

[lobsterdog]

sighned up for this and first album I got is Steely Dan's 1972 classic "Can't Buy a Thrill", which has basically all your Dan radio bangers like Do It Again, Dirty Work and Reelin in the Years. Been a while since I listened to the entire thing though so I'll go through the whole thing for an honest appraisal.


edit: yeah this still rocks. 4/5. Midnite Cruiser and Change of the Guard are 2 great songs that weren't radio hits or singles. no stinkers on here at all. 

[jimmyspudboy]

Supertramp - Crime of the Century

👍

[lobsterdog]

lmao it gave me fuckin U2 - Joshua Tree today

NICE TRY not listening to Ireland's worst export on St Patricks day. 0/5, one of the worst bands of all time
