I understand the term “Classic Rock” is highly subjective. The way I view it is either as an era (from the mid-60s to the end of the 1970s) or a musical style that emulates the music of that era. Like Springsteen’s or Queens 1980s albums. Kid A doesn’t meet either of those criteria. Again this is a highly subjective, as the term “Classic Rock” is more of terrestrial radio format than anything. I just can’t group Radiohead (and especially Kid A) under “Classic Rock” umbrella. But that is my hang up not yours. Enjoy your record.

I amended my posting of the album to make the "or a classic album" really big because I know people care about this kind of stuff and I really don't want people getting annoyed because I decided I wanted to play that album. 🥺
 
Looks like it's time for a quick album binge of like 4 albums
Day 5: “Old enough now to change your name” – Play something by someone who uses a stage name.

Lil Uzi Vert - LUV Is Rage
I feel like I'm cheating with this but it counts since last time I checked he doesn't call himself symere woods in any interviews

Also thanks to the one person who gave me this, I don't remember exactly who but an awesome PIF

I'm going to be pedantic here, but as a blue godlike being that long ago lost almost all his humanity, such behavior is within in my purview:

1. The prompt clearly states "or a classic album"

2. I said "can count as classic too," and not "can count as classic rock, too"

Therefore, I never claimed Kid A is classic rock.

As the Night Owl of this months thread, Kid A is 100% a classic album.

Edited to add: I realized I spelled Nite Owl wrong, Hollis would not be amused...

Day 9: “Jimi’s playin’ in the back room, Led Zeppelin on stage” – Play some classic rock, or a classic album.

The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet

I love classic rock and have a ton of it, so a tough choice tonight, but I’m fresh off Exile, Sticky and Bleed listens, so this one rounds out my top four Stones albums.

Day 6: “L.A., Uptight, City in the Smog” – Play something recorded in or references Los Angeles in some way.

Vince Staples -Summertime 06

Ok this is PARTIALLY because I want to flaunt my limited edition that's worth hundreds now that I bought for like 60, but also fits since not only was it recorded in Hollywood. But is also very inspired by his life in North Side Long Beach (or nerf side if you are a Karen) with songs like "norf norf" (or Summertime 06 to said Karen). It's legitimately a great album by someone I can easily call one of the best alive

I’m sorry. I wasn’t annoyed. I am just weird (some would say I’m annoying) and enjoy debating minutiae, especially when it comes to music. I apologize if my reply made ya uncomfortable. That wasn’t my intent. You should always play whatever you wanna play.

I understand your position, tho.

Discogs has Bruce Springsteen's new album as "Classic Rock" - and that makes no sense to me.

Day 8: “She was an unknown legend in her time” – Play something from an artist that you think should be more well known.

Arthur Verocai - S/T

Stumbled upon this album while I was browsing Mr. Bongo reissues, and was immediately drawn in by the expansive and lush jazz-samba arrangements. A very enjoyable album from a Brazilian artist I’ve rarely seen discussed or mentioned.

Ah! I know very little about the Grateful Dead.... the two records I picked-up this week are my first steps, beyond the few tracks that got some airplay over the years. That bit about "Sugar Magnolia" I stumbled upon from a google search for albums or songs about plants or flowers. Gave me a good excuse to spin this fresh grab again.
 
Day 10: “Homegrown’s all right with me” – National Houseplant Day – Play something to make your plants happy. Or something inspired by plants that make you happy.

Toad the Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea

Nice pretty flowers on the cover. “Dulcinea” is apparently a character in Don Quixote and not a flower. Didn’t realize that until today.
