Popular Reviews

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Costello is indie rock before it was called that way. Can't believe how recent this album feels. It could come out straight from Weezer

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver

Awesome record. Thanks to this I met Jane Weaver

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes

Great album! Like if Joy Division made more poppy songs.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

I can't express enough how this album is awesome, a genre-changing moment when it was released. Although today i'm not a big fan of GnR and even listening to this album bores me to hell, I can't ignore the genius behind it. I don't know if any other band can rival a first album like this.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 13 2021

Two recognizable songs and some of the rest have very good tunes, but the lyrics are hard to swallow if you are not connected to the BDSM scene and sound like they came off the mouth of a creep.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jan 19 2021

Too fuckin good. Blues and rock in a fiery combination of awesome musicians.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jan 20 2021

Awesome album. It's an aquired taste. I have listened to it multiple times, just to hear the song 'Autobahn' once again, but I kept listening to the whole album.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jan 21 2021

It's a rock album, nothing that blew my mind, but it's ok

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Jan 22 2021

I really liked this. I think I'll checkout more about Todd Rundgren

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jan 25 2021

Really cool music, but it wasn't my style

Jan 27 2021

One of the best albums of our time. I always come back to it.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 29 2021

Awesome album

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Mar 02 2021

This didn't appeal to me, as a genre. Some lyrics are quite nice tho

Mar 03 2021

I don't like Simple Minds. It's a band that once was great and then... it's just not even ok. I see this album as the begining of their decadence.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Mar 04 2021

It grew on my. I had to listen to it many times, and every time it was better than before

Mar 05 2021

I know this is a classic, but the music genre does not appeal to me at all. Nice lyrics tho, and I definitively felt the personal and internal conflict of its authors being poured into the songs.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 08 2021

I don't like this.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 09 2021

I liked it. It's not something I'll listen everyday or when transmutting, but it's cool and full of classics for the modern music landscape.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Mar 10 2021

I played it many times. I didn't like it. Not one song I could remember. It's not a bad record tho

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Mar 12 2021

Awesome record. Thanks to this I met Jane Weaver

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Mar 16 2021

What the beatles could have become. Fantastic album

British Steel by Judas Priest
Mar 17 2021

Quintessential heavy metal album. A must.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Mar 18 2021

Neat album. I understand why you have to hear it before you die.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
May 17 2021

Zappa at its most digestible

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
May 18 2021

I really didn't like this much. I guess it wass cool to the teenage angst in the 90s

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 20 2021

Great album, not the best of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but a great album

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
May 21 2021

Nice record. I don't vibe that hard with it, but you can't deny it has some awesome songs

Transformer by Lou Reed
May 24 2021

Awesome album. Heard it multiple timen and can't get enough.

John Prine by John Prine
May 25 2021

I'm not fan of the genre, but I certainly listened to this a lot while working

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
May 27 2021

Heard it multiple times. I can't say any particular song struck with me

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 31 2021

I can't express enough how this album is awesome, a genre-changing moment when it was released. Although today i'm not a big fan of GnR and even listening to this album bores me to hell, I can't ignore the genius behind it. I don't know if any other band can rival a first album like this.

Jun 01 2021

I can't say I liked the whole album. But isn't that final song (you know which) a juicy strawberry at the top of a cake?

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 02 2021

Nice Hallellujah version

Fun House by The Stooges
Jul 28 2021

I have loved this album for a very long time and never get tired of it. It's a must if you are into punk

Jul 29 2021

Didn't liked this in my first listening, neither in the 12th. If you are into this kind of music, I recommend Soda Stereo. They do it better

Suede by Suede
Jul 30 2021

Bowie voice in the 70s is present here. Kinda like it, but old, even in the time it was released.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Aug 02 2021

Love this

Closer by Joy Division
Aug 03 2021

Really cool sound. I think Joy Division still has a sound that no other band could come close. Not accesible at all, but that somehow makes it special.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Aug 04 2021

This is awesome. Didn't know about the existence of this band and ended up hearing this album and others multiple times.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Aug 05 2021

I really liked this album. Maybe it is known by the one hit wonder 'Come on Eileen' but the whole album is awesome and tematically in sync with that song

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Aug 06 2021

Glad I got to hear this band that I didn't knew existed. They reminded me of blur, so it was cool.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Aug 19 2021

This album came from a guy who killed himself 2 years after recording it. You are listening to a guy who looked around and despised capitalism and comercialisation, so maybe this album wasn't intended to be heard. And if you did, that's awesome, and an incredible line of events that led you to this moment, listening to a record some guy made 60 years ago in two nights just for himself.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Aug 20 2021

Awesome record. Of course I heard Shout and Everybody wants to rule the world before, but never the whole album, and it's awesome and consistent.

Aug 23 2021

A nice blend of sounds, and though it's more than 15 years since its release, it feels relevant this days. I've heard some of the songs on those youtube videos to study and chill.

Aug 24 2021

Tom Waits has a shitty voice. The whole album is monotonous from beginning to end and not any memorable song. Not my deal, sorry.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Aug 25 2021

mmmm nop. Nothing particularly interesting here.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Aug 27 2021

Didn't like anything here. Could have died without listening.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Sep 14 2021

Simply fantastic

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Sep 15 2021

Absolute Masterpiece

Microshift by Hookworms
Sep 16 2021

This is kinda generic indie rock. And we can't say they were pioneers because this album came in 2018. The sound felt old, something we have heard before.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Sep 17 2021

Great album! Like if Joy Division made more poppy songs.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 21 2021

Costello is indie rock before it was called that way. Can't believe how recent this album feels. It could come out straight from Weezer

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Sep 22 2021

Simply awesome. This is a must listen.

The Score by Fugees
Sep 23 2021

Pretty good hip hop and rappin over all

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Sep 24 2021

This is my first time listening to Tom Waits and can't say I liked it. Maybe if I listen to other things from him I could accustom my ear.

Phrenology by The Roots
Sep 27 2021

Fantastic Rap & Hip Hop album

Pump by Aerosmith
Sep 28 2021

Did liked this album, didn't like Aerosmith. Hard to explain

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Sep 30 2021

What a solid debut album

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 15 2021

Really liked this album. Heard it multiple times

Rio by Duran Duran
Nov 16 2021

I love this album man. It's the 80's in a bottle.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Nov 18 2021

I'm gonna be honest: I like Cohen but i'm kinda bored of american folk songs

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Nov 19 2021

This is not my jam but it got me in the mood to listen to Aphex Twin, so it's something

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Nov 22 2021

There's some things I really like here

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 23 2021

I don't know. I'm getting kinda tired of this american folk music on this 1001 list.
