Impressions: The First 15

Well...thus far, by far, I have found more albums that have tested my resolve to see this quest through to the end. Take for instance The Stones Roses (498) and the Eurythmics (492). I knew before hand that I was only a greatest-hits type of Eurythmics fan and listening to a whole album by them made me question even why I was that type of fan. KISS (489) was bearable as was ZZ Top (490) and due to Husker Du's (488) lack of...color, variety, and any real skill, Cyndi Lauper (487) was my saving grace today.

However, there have already been some surprises. Boz Scaggs (496 - Boz Scaggs, 'Boz Scaggs'), whom I have never even heard of, was fresh and bright, and I never thought I would say this but I like a Bonnie Raitt album. Give It Up by Bonnie Raitt (495) is an album I will listen to again; folksy blues with a energetic New Orleans jazz blended in.

Wilco (493), MGMT (494), and Earth, Wind, & Fire (486) were like talking to old friends and much needed during the first 15.
