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.
