Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick

Part 1 is solid prog-folk. Part 2 is a bit boring. Also has a live performance which is adequate.

Kate Bush - Aerial

Has a wide collection of wonky prog ballads which are generally enthralling.

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love and Prince - Around the World in a Day

Both to replace my destroyed cassettes. Love 'em both and both are overplayed to death.

Link Wray - Rumble! Best of Link Wray

Very violent-sounding instrumentals. Is this surf-guitar rock, BTW? Nice take on the Batman theme, also.

Love - Forever Changes

Sounded quite boring upon first listen but growing on me.

Metallica - Kill 'Em All

Pretty serviceable debut although it lacks the ferocity of the next two albums.

Olivia Tremor Control - Dusk at Cubist's Castle

Generally not that interesting until we reach the various Green Typewriters songs.

Steely Dan - Katy Lied

Toe-tapping jazzy pieces of ornate pop. Nice!

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life

Good enough collection of songs. Sir Duke makes me so happy!

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin

Nothing like "At War with the Mystics" at all. Mostly soothing tunes.

The Pixies - Doolittle

Rather eclectic bunch of songs, despite their limited musicianship. Not bad either.

The Zombies - Odessey & Oracle

Awesome! Where has this album been all my life?

Todd Rundgren - A Wizard A True Star

Picks a fine balance between pop and prog. Never liked Utopia all that much so it's strange hearing the Utopia band playing such accessible stuff.

Ween - The Mollusk

Too eclectic for me. I wish they stayed with a single genre.
