Day 29: “Seems like that guy singing this song been doing it for a long time. Is there anything he knows that he ain’t already said?”
Bill Callahan - Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest
Stupidly I played my only late-career Dylan album the other day, and as much as I like a lot of artists' late career stuff -- Blackstar, You Want it Darker, Tempest, Le Noise -- I don't actually have any of those on vinyl yet. So I'll go with Bill's 2019 "comeback" album. He's been around as Smog since the early '90s but this was quite a different style for him, even compared to his previous albums released under his own name.

Day 20: “Looking for a Leader” – It’s inauguration day in the US. Play something optimistic or that signifies change.
Today I've seen a tweet by Kelly Lee Owens from a few days ago saying "Vespertine is still one of the most beautiful albums ever made." I agree completely. It also has something very deep about it that makes me feel optimistic and gives me energy.
Björk " Vespertine "

Day 22: “Back in the old folky days, the air was magic when we played” – Play something from or inspired by the 60’s
The Stone Roses. They got inspired by the 60s and later inspired other bands, aming them for instance Oasis. Oasis' lead singer Liam Gallagher stated that they were the first band he saw live and that seeing them perform influenced him to become a singer.

Which two? I was thinking Loveless.
Edit:Maybe Goat or You're Living All Over Me? Or am I too focused on effects vs feedback?

Metal Machine Music? Though, @Yer Ol' Uncle D is probably the only person here who has a copy.

I thought of that one, but then I thought, well I'm not surprised nobody played it, even if it fits the topic very well!

Maybe Siamese Dream? It’s a very feedback heavy album. Or Nirvana perhaps? “Endless Nameless” would certainly fit the bill, I thought maybe Dinosaur Jr. too.
