Sounds like jrock…

Yeah, Shihatsu-matsu Underground would be Rock, Atarashii Gakkou No Leaders is pretty Jazzy alot of the time thanks to H Zett M being behind their music, and MIGMA SHELTER is Psychedelic Trance. All three groups are Japanese Alt-Idol groups.

I buy mostly songs now and very few albums. Nice having a collection where you like/love every song!
I grew up in the era of albums, 8-tracks, cassettes and CD’s. The majority of most music collections was “filler”.

In 2019 I bought a ton of singles (parts of every Marcus King Band album).

These were the only full albums though, starting with my favourite and working down:

  1. Ash Grunwald - Mojo. Lots of guest artists and fun from start to finish.

  2. Black Stone Cherry - Back to Blues Vol. 2. Man, I own a lot of Black Stone Cherry.

  3. Christone “Kingfish” Ingram - Kingfish. This is a great up and comer in blues. Lots of fun.

  4. Sturgill Simpson - Sound & Fury. Watched this album on Netflix in the form of an animated short film and immediately bought it. He slips in a couple of country songs which I ignore. :slight_smile:

  5. Southern Avenue - Keep on. This girl can wail, but not as exciting as the above albums.

  6. Texas Horns - Get here quick. Great horn work but I got bored of this fairly quickly.
