John Mayall with Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers: 8 (A-)
Upped a notch for being beloved by many (and for Clapton's sake). Otherwise, pretty # [trad blues].

Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton: 7.5 (high B+)
This is where I start generally categorizing him as outside of "blues" or "blues rock."
Girl Talk - All Day: 8.5 (high A-)
Upped from 7 (B+). Originally digital-only, then limited vinyl pressings started to appear. I got in on the latest pressing, June 2024. Many more than 3 listens, and it gets better every time.

Mose "Fan Fan" et T.P. Somo Somo - place holder
I'm trying to complete my listening to the works of Mose Fan Fan and Somo Somo. This is the only major release I have not been able to locate in any form anywhere. I hope I see it one day.

Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow: 3.5 hours
Another one of these Bandcamp releases where the CD is only available for over-inflated prices, rather than through normal distribution channels. So I will pass on this at B plus.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Live Rust: 4.5 stars
I think I probably like this more than Rust Never Sleeps.

Kraftwerk - batch review
I gave all of the following at least three listens each. I think they are all in honorable mention territory, with maybe a 7 (B+) for some of them.
Autobahn (1974)
Radio-Activity (1975) [Stephin Merritt favorite]
The Man-Machine (1978)
Computer World (1981)
I now have The Man-Machine and Computer World.

Steve Miller Band - Fly Like an Eagle: 3.5 stars
Surprisingly enjoyable, but sticking with Greatest Hits for this artist. The best songs on this are on there anyway.
Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians - Greatest Hits [honorable mention]
:-) [Seems like the kind of guy you either love or basically perceive as nice (kind of like Echo & the Bunnymen). I'm in the latter category.]
T.P. Somo Somo [Mose Se "Fan Fan" Songo] - Amba: 4 stars
Pablo Moses - Pave the Way: 3.5 stars
There are some very good songs on here, but most if not all of them are on Reggae Greats, which I have, for some reason, even though it repeats 5/8 of A Song. I guess I bought it to buy the good Pave the Way tracks. Anyway, given that, and that this is out of print, vinyl is over-priced, and this is only a B+ at best, I'm going to skip the physical. [Four listens; listened once to dub version]
