2025 in 2025: Day 75

Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
A whole bunch of super cool riffs. These dudes were the kings of the mid-00s indie rock sound... for about 6 months.
Highlights: Jazqueline, Take Me Out, Auf Achse, Michael
8/10

Freaks (Radio Edit) [Single] - Timmy Trumpet & Savage
Savage has such a rad voice. And this song is still surprisingly enjoyable.
8/10

The Freddie Mercury Album - Freddie Mercury
What better way to cash in on a rock legend's death by releasing a compilation of solo songs and remixes a year after his passing? I still remember when The Great Pretender was released and people were shook at seeing Freddie without his moustache again. 
Highlights: In My Defence (Ron Nevison Mix), Barcelona, The Great Pretender, Time (Nile Rodgers Mix), Mr. Bad Guy (Brian Malouf Mix)
8/10

FREE URSELF [Single] - Prince
I won the gamble on this one.
9/10

The Freedom Sessions - Sarah McLachlan
Very chilled - even by Sarah McLachlan standards. Mostly acoustic versions of songs that I will listen to next week? So let's see what I think of them then!
Highlights: Mary, Good Enough, Ice Cream, Ol' 55
6.5/10

Frehley's Comet - Frehley's Comet
It feels like forever since I had some Kiss, so getting some Ace is a very welcome kick after the chill-ness of most of this morning's playlist. I don't think I mentioned this last time, but the original version of Into the Night was actually in an episode of Miami Vice. They should have used the Frehley's Comet version to make the show even more perfect.
Highlights: Rock Soldiers, Into The Night, Calling to You, Stranger in a Strange Land
8/10

Freight Train Heart - Jimmy Barnes
Fun fact: American Idol's Randy Jackson played bass on half of this album - I'm guessing it was when he was part of Journey, because they played on half of this album as well. They killed it. Bah gawd Driving Wheels just has the most driving rhythm section and kicks lots of butt. This whole album does, actually. 
Highlights: Driving Wheels, Last Frontier, Walk On, Seven Days
9/10

The Freightwhaler Sessions - Freight Whaler
How does it work having the name spelt two different ways? We are unable to agree on the spelling? Are DRA fans just annoying like that? This is actually... very good.
Highlights: Bar Lights, The Ghosts are Out Tonight, Sometimes That's Hard to Do
7.5/10

Friction, Baby - Better Than Ezra
I used to have this album, but then traded it in, because it is not very good. But I kept one song - Desperately Wanting. Because it IS very good.
9/10

"Albums" listened to so far: 616

Jar of Flies - Alice in Chains Bah gawd that solo in Nutshell is the perfect amount of feel. These guys had a real knack for mixing chill ac...
