Nothing like starting the day with some relaxed comedy music.
Highlights: Think About It, Robots, Mutha'ukas, The Most Beautiful Girl (In The Room)
6.5/10
FLY - YUKI
The thing about this album is that the songs are good, but not great. And then live some of them come across as the greatest songs ever. SO that leads me to believe something was really lacking in the production here.
Highlights: Jodi Wideman, はみだせ ラインダンスから, 波乗り500マイル, 真夜中の恋人, わたしの願い事
6.5/10
Folie À Deux - Fall Out Boy
This album is big and epic and a bit dark and full of awesome lyrics. The first half is a masterclass on how to write a modern rock album... except it is almost 20 years old at this point. Holy balls where is the time going?!?
Highlights: Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes, I Don't Care, America's Suitehearts, (Coffee's For Closers), Pavlove
8/10
Follow the Leader - KoЯn
Jonathan Davis is a terrible singer. Musically they can be quite fun on songs like Got the Life, but the lyrics are awful and the "singing" is bad. And his scatting is just all kinds of stupid.
Highlights: Got the Life, The intro My Gift to You
5/10
Follow the Lights - Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
Well this sure is a drastic change from what I just had to endure. This might still be one of DRA's strongest releases; rootsy acoustic numbers, a classic Alice in Chains cover, reworkings of some of his own songs, and lots of beautiful harmonies. That second verse in this version of Dear John is the stuff.
Highlights: My Love for You is Real, Blue Hotel, This Is It [Cardinal's Version], If I Am a Stranger [Live Studio Recording], Dear John [Live Studio Recording]
9/10
Fool for the City - Foghat
This is some classic 70s rock, right here. And it has everything you need; big long jams and guitar solos, groovy riffs and even some honky-tonk piano.
Highlights: Slow Ride, Fool for the City, Save Your Loving (For Me), Drive Me Home
7.5/10
Fool's Gold - Ryan Adams
For as good as Gold is, and how sad DRA was to not have it be a proper double-album, these songs are... average. At best.
Highlights: The Bar is a Beautiful Place, Rosalie Come and Go, Dear Chicago
5/10
Footloose: Original Soundtrack of the Paramount Motion Picture - Various Artists
Because I am a disgrace to my generation, this is not the complete album. I'm really finding out a lot about myself with this marathon...
Highlights: Footloose - Kenny Loggins
8/10
For the Working Class Man - Jimmy Barnes
If you don't get chills during the ending of Working Class Man, then you must be dead. And if you are dead, you are missing out on a great album by Jimmy Barnes. Also, if you are dead and reading this you might be a zombie, so watch out for people trying to injure your head.
Highlights: I'd Die to Be With You Tonight, Working Class Man, No Second Prize, Ride the Night Away
8/10
Fore! - Huey Lewis and The News
Jeebus this is getting embarrassing. This is only The Power of Love. Which is not even really a song from the album (it was only included on international releases). There are so many good songs to hear from this album, like Stuck With You and Hip to Be Square, and here I am with just one random song that is more accurately from the Back to the Future soundtrack? LOGMAN is a joke.
10/10
Foreign Affair - Tina Turner
And continuing with my trend of having nothing real, this is purely The Best. I mean, it is a fantastic song, so there is at least that. Hot take; the version with Jimmy Barnes screaming like a maniac is even better.
9/10
Forever - Spice Girls
I better get a 25th Anniversary version of this album this year to match the other two releases. I will admit, I did not get this album when it was released. It is so different to those fantastic pop albums they released in the late 90s. Much more of an urban R&B kind of thing. But the Mels excel at that sort of thing, so it is like they aimed it perfectly at me!
Highlights: Holler, Tell Me Why, Goodbye, Get Down With Me, Wasting My Time, If You Wanna Have Some Fun
8/10
