226. BEING FUNNY IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE by The 1975

226. BEING FUNNY IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE by The 1975

Believe it or not, the only song I had heard by this British band prior to listening to this 2022 record was off their 2013 debut. Somehow the band never clicked with me and, so, I ended up skipping their subsequent output - up until now. After seeing this album

221. RUMOURS by Fleetwood Mac

221. RUMOURS by Fleetwood Mac

It seems almost cliche to cover this 1977 breakout record by mixed British / American band Fleetwood Mac (previously covered here), but on the heels of keyboardist / singer / songwriter Christine McVie's death I felt like I needed to.

207. FACE VALUE by Phil Collins

Released at the tail end of 1989, this record epitomized early 90's power pop, though with a heavier, crunchier guitar sound than what the band had previously incorporated in their music. You can hear Beatles and Beach Boys influences throughout the tracks, especially in the choruses and harmonies. Heck, there's
