The Grass Is Blue by Dolly Parton

Solid, classic. Would not mind listening to this again.

Toxicity by System Of A Down

I respect your decision to add this to the list. Please respect my decision to not listen to this and rate it 2, as I don't like this type of music. Thank you.

2.5/5. It's the album that has the Sopranos theme... That should say enough about this music. Not for me, but I can see how some would enjoy this.

Loss by Mull Historical Society
Oct 13 2025

Could not make it through this one. Drone-y vocals with instrumentals that make it worse. Certainly fits the time that this came out.

The Grass Is Blue by Dolly Parton
Oct 20 2025

Solid, classic. Would not mind listening to this again.

Up To Here by The Tragically Hip
Oct 21 2025

Not for me. It's not bad though.

Live in San Francisco by Thee Oh Sees
Oct 22 2025

3.5/5. Very punk and loud (and good). I'm not always in the mood for this type of music, but this is good and is something I would come back to.

"Awaken, My Love!" by Childish Gambino
Oct 23 2025

Very good. Glad someone added this. Listening to this with a closer ear, I feel there are some parallels to some of that early 70s funk (Funkadelic/Parliament). A lot of these songs just come up during my casual listening. I respect this album even more after listening to the whole thing.

Oct 24 2025

Overall this is fine, really not something I give much thought to. I guess I can see how someone could like this, but honestly I don't think this is great. Don't project your bad 90s rock onto me.

Toxicity by System Of A Down
Oct 27 2025

I respect your decision to add this to the list. Please respect my decision to not listen to this and rate it 2, as I don't like this type of music. Thank you.

Yeti by Amon Düül II
Oct 28 2025

2.5/5. Not terrible, but not something I'll come back to. Perhaps the album cover raised my expectations.

Lemonade by Beyoncé
Oct 29 2025

I feel like people really hyped this album when it came out. This is my first time listening to this, glad someone added it, as I would not listen to this on my own. I'm not sure if it's just aged poorly, or if this is not my style of music, but I didn't think this was anything special.

The Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse
Oct 30 2025

3.5/5. Modest Mouse has a lot of music - thank you for giving me a place to start. Overall I was not amazed by this, but it was fine (in a good way)

Gordon by Barenaked Ladies
Nov 03 2025

This has to be a satirical add, right? I didn't enjoy this, and I don't even think it's objectively good. In fact, it's objectively bad. To each their own, I guess.

People Watching by Sam Fender
Nov 04 2025

Overall boring and not something I'll want to listen to again. I'm glad someone submitted this because now I know I don't like Sam Fender (although I never heard of him before).

Alopecia by WHY?
Nov 05 2025

Certainly different... and certainly not something I enjoyed. The lyrics are odd and not very good.

Transmissions by STARSET
Nov 06 2025

Seriously? Not good, in fact, bad. It's like Linkin Park but way worse.

Eye by Robyn Hitchcock
Nov 07 2025

Meh. It could be worse, but I'm not a fan.
