The debut album from The Stooges.
Not a favourite of mine but it’s still worth a listen every now and again.
It’s one of those “formative” albums I think — being described as “proto-punk” on wikipedia.
The short run-time (about 34 minutes) works great for me as a short-sharp punch of energetic music.

A large collection of songs produced by Phil Spector between 1958 and 1969.
A lot of them I recognised from their covers by other artists over the years, along with the many that have since been used / lifted for adverts.
I absolutely loved this whole collection. I enjoyed delving into the late 50s and 60s vibes.
The whole thing gave me feelings of “late 50s haunted hollywood” — mainly due to a scene in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive.
There’s just something about the music of this era that just pulls you in.
