This is pure rap rock nu metal with heavy DJ usage. Serj and Morgan lander guest star on Feel Good
Bartender is a fun funky jam “hey bartender hit me with a double “
Killing time and waiting to die both bangers
Boom how you like that is another good one
True no skip album for me
Love the closing song The Meadow too

Are you familiar with King's X?
If not or if you are but haven't heard much of them, check out the albums Dogman and Gretchen Goes to Nebraska. I think you will like them.

I am familiar with King’s X. I would see them on Headbanger’s Ball, which I used to record. My friend Brian liked them. I never got into them. I might indeed like them, but I did give them a listen those times they had a video out. Just never clicked. I am more punk than prog. Prog and I are rarely seen together. But thank you. Perhaps when I arrive home from this trip I’m on, I’ll listen.

They're not a prog band. They are very hard to pigeonhole (although they certainly aren't punk). Give Dogman a try imo. Yes, I get paid for this

Yeah, in an Aerosmith deep dive, there would be a temptation for me to skip the 6th through 8th albums.
"Dirt" fell victim to my self-imposed limitation of 2 albums (max) per artist. Or for my love of "Jar and Flies" and their Unplugged album.

The Black Keys - Rubber Factory
I wasn’t sure from “When the Lights Go Out”, but shortly into “10 A.M. Automatic” I can see why @KarmaPolice thought this would resonate with me. There’s a familiar blues rock vibe in that song and throughout. I’m sure I’ve heard some tunes from The Black Keys, but nothing that I connected to a particular album. Plus the first 6 or 7 years of the 2000s were a dead zone as far as me listening to (new) music.
The album’s mostly short, high-energy songs that make their point and don’t linger. Though there were a handful of ones that I wished would’ve lasted a little longer. A few didn’t leave that much of an impression, while others pretty much instantly connected with me. I don’t want to compare to other artists too much, but there’s definitely some moments that felt like they were influenced.
Let’s see. “Just Couldn’t Tie My Down”, “All Hands Against His Own” and “Keep Me” all pretty much instantly connected with me in some way. “Till I Get My Way” is my early favorite though, and a few others picked up partway though, so I’d expect them to grow on me in subsequent listens. And yeah, I plan to check out more. Eventually.

Tomorrow? Probably The National - Trouble Will Find Me.

Hysteria is a great pop album. It is not hard rock. The problem with Hysteria is that it was so weak compared to the first 3 DL albums. They lost their drummer by accident. Not sure why they moved away from the great guitar work.

Hysteria is their biggest selling album by far. That's all the reason needed imo.

First up on my to listen list for today! Seems perfect for a hot summer weekend afternoon, let's see if I'm singing the same tune in an hour or so...
I generally prefer the lighter Alice In Chains sounds to the heavier ones. i.e. there are 4 Dirt tracks that are on Unplugged, I prefer the Unplugged version on 3 of them. Both are great, they just do one better than the other, with a few exceptions. Again (not a Dirt track) is one of them - what a banger

@Pip's Invitation listened to that Husker Du album. Much heavier than I expected, for some reason I thought they were more of an INXS type band. Probably wasn’t the best choice for an early morning stroll through the grocery store
A little noisy for me, probably not something I’d go to again. That’s the type of music I’d prefer to see live than listen to if that makes sense

It does make sense. For less noisy Bob Mould, try Sugar’s Copper Blue or his first two solo albums, Workbook (which is mostly acoustic) and Black Sheets of Rain.

@Mrs. Rannous on our drive home today I was able to get 2 albums
Simple Dreams by Linda Ronstadt- I already liked It’s So Easy but also thought her covers of Tumbling Dice and especially Poor, Poor Pitiful Me were real good. I like the bar band rocking energy. I didn’t read anything about this until after I listened but I was surprised she won a Grammy for her Blue Bayou cover. That was the song my wife and I liked the least. The change in volume for the chorus each time didn’t work for us. But it’s got 2 songs I added to my liked songs and 1 that was already there so that’s a win for such a short album
Blue Moves by Elton John- Holy maximalist Batman. The gospel and disco and double album was lot. Crazy Water, Shoulder Holster and Sorry… were my favorites. That was a really good stretch. Bite Your Lip goes on and on but I was into the groove. Felt like disco church. Theme from a Non-Existant TV show cracked me up. It was a lot to listen to all at once but I enjoyed it. My first full Elton John album listen!

@Yo Mama I think it's fair to say Journey's Escape matched my expectations. While it was very clearly an 80's record, which is usually more miss than hit for me, it was the good end of what was produced that decade. I learned something new too - this will be a nomination in the opener / closer draft (Don't Stop Believin' / Open Arms) whenever it happens.
Going into this, Open Arms was the only heart in my library. I've heard Who's Crying Now before and quickly dolled out a heart to it before the first verse. Stone In Love also got one, loved the guitar work. The middle of the album was more pleasant background music than attention grabbing, but I didn't skip any of it. The highlight was the Escape - Lay It Down back-to-back. I need to listen to them again, but each of them did a great job laying down (pun unintended) a solid riff to build from, and both of them elevated as the tracks took shape. Those were hearts 4 and 5.
I'll give this album a solid 7 and round up to 7.5 to account for the it's rock music from the 80's curve. 5 of 10 hearts is a good showing in my book! Probably going to pull up some prog next with Close To The Edge by Yes, but if the next session is on the back deck we'll jump to Run The Jeweles as I've heard enough of them to know that's not office music.

@Dan Lambskin I listened to Morphine's Cure for Pain tonight.
I was only familiar with the title track, both from it being the playlist choice and from hearing it on "modern rock" radio in the '90s. I have a connection to saxophonist Dana Colley -- my friend Chris Harford, a singer/songwriter/guitarist, played with him in a band called Three Colors in the '80s -- but I have never delved into Morphine beyond what I heard on the radio. That is probably because in the '90s, I was all about grunge and noise (with some jambands on the side), and, as with Jeff Buckley, this was not the kind of sound I was looking for at the time, but it is something I've grown to appreciate more over the years.
Because of the band's unusual format of bass-drums-sax, the sound has the potential to get gimmicky, but on this album does not because the songs are strong. I did not find any tracks to be clunkers. Aside from the title track that I already knew, my favorites were "Buena," "A Head With WIngs," "Thursday" and "Let's Take a Trip Together." I also liked that they varied up the instrumentation at times (mandolin on "In Spite of Me," guitar and organ on some other tracks) so as to prevent things from sounding too samey, which is a risk you run when you have a trio without a guitar.
I can see myself checking out their other albums.

The Night is the other album I listened to the most of theirs, I think Yes is probably the most recommended by fans

I said I watched the version on Disney + and enjoyed it very much, but the experience was even better walking the boardwalk with headphones on. I was able to concentrate on the lyrics a lot more clearly.
What an amazing concept and execution. It’s like a mini-history lesson with some great hooks and lyrics.
The cabinet meetings as rap battles was genius but there’s so much more than just hip hop music - which it seemed like it was billed as. The King’s songs are hysterical and musically pleasing.
It’s truly a masterpiece and will get spun by me again.

The National - Trouble Will Find Me.
This is an album that I might struggle to classify to someone else. You know, if I wanted to give a general impression, because the first four songs all have a different feel for me. I should state that this isn’t a negative for me. If anything, not being too “same-y” is a positive. To try to get into it, there are a lot of dreamy/ethereal aspects in the songs. Often softer pieces, where the wide variety of instruments get a chance to shine.
Another common theme was several songs having a bit of tone change partway through. Probably every time that happened, I started to really like the song.. So this is likely an album where repeated listens will strengthen the songs, even (especially?) the ones that gave me a strong first impression.
Speaking of which, my early favorites are (in album order), “Fireproof”, “Graceless” and “I Need My Girl”. The latter is one that I’d have to put into the “might have heard before” category. Overall, a pretty strong album for me. Not necessarily something I’ll rush back to, but one I plan to revisit.

@Yo Mama I felt like I was in a live show with the way Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime opened. The instrumental Anarchy X builds as the band takes the stage, kicking into the opening riff for Revolution Calling then Geoff Tate enters stage left
For a price I'd do about anything except pull the trigger
What a start **heart** Nothing stood out for a while thereafter, pleasant background music again, but the intro to Suite Sister Mary got my attention. Unfortunately, I had a call starting in 3 minutes, so realizing it was a 10 minute epic, I had to pause and restart afterwards. Glad I did. Love LOVE LOOOOOOOVE!!! While I didn't know what to expect, anticipating great things ahead, that thing got cranked up to 11 long before the riff 3 mins in kicked in **heartsmash**
This album really took off from there - what a side 2. So many hearts. This isn't the first time I've said to myself I need to listen to more Queensryche, but hopefully this time I actually do. They're way more than Silent Lucidity and Jet City Woman. I give Operation Mindcrime an 8 with potential to grow on repeat listens.

I'm just glad you have a good enough sense of humor that left me comfortable tossing that zinger out there!
Knowing enough of 90125 and the critical acclaim of this, I decided to commit to Close To The Edge from the outset no matter what. This sound just didn't work for me, at all.
What is the alternate Genesis album? I'll approach that with a quicker trigger finger as I'm not familiar with them beyond what's been sprinkled in these countdowns. Looking at the calendar, it appears that will be tough to get in this week, but we'll see how things break. I've got tomorrow ear marked for Spoon in the office then RTJ after dark on the back deck.

No worries, starting you off with a 20 minute super Prog song was a bit of a gamble.
For Genesis, I suggested Foxtrot (at least that one ends with the 20 minute super Prog song). If you’re not feeling that, A Trick of the Tail is a great substitute.
