Popular Reviews

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

Wow, I can’t believe I’ve never heard of her. Such an amazing voice and love the borderline country/funk sound. Love and Affection made its way to my hits playlist.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre

This was a real gem, never heard of this cat before and had no idea how big he was. Some really interesting beats and sounds.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Steady from beginning to end, definitely loved the back half of the album with Mystery man and Luna being favorites.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor

Absolute perfection, could listen to this album over and over.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jan 13 2021

Super chill. Definitely not something I could listen to all the time, but the hits from it are the way to go. Wagon Wheel was a surprise banger that I didn’t see coming.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Jan 14 2021

Steady from beginning to end, definitely loved the back half of the album with Mystery man and Luna being favorites.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jan 15 2021

Definitely kept me entertained, I liked the first half of the album better than the back half. It felt like a Broadway play how it flowed through the entire album.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jan 16 2021

So so so good, absolutely loved this album. Gave me some jazz vibes but also had some Hawaiian influence too which I was into.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 17 2021

Took me back, still love this album and gave me some nostalgia.

Cut by The Slits
Jan 18 2021

Very different, not one of my favorite albums but I could totally see how they formed a style for other bands. Heard it through the grapevine was a great cover.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Jan 19 2021

A fun album, super funky, and I liked the whole album not just the hits.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 20 2021

I understand it’s relevance in music and can appreciate that, but this is definitely not an easy listen for me.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jan 21 2021

I don’t know if it was due to the inauguration and us having a new president, but this album made me feel great, like the sun was shining a little brighter.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jan 22 2021

This album feels like it influenced a lot of the 90’s and it’s amazing how it is still super relevant now. Couldn’t believe that it came out in 88.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jan 23 2021

What a great album, had such a nice vibe being love and loved his stories and crowd play. Worry worry is such a great song.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jan 24 2021

I may be a little biased here, but an ex of mine loved incubus and needless to say... I’m not a big fan. That being said listening to the album feels like an incubus album and most of the songs felt very similar.

More Specials by The Specials
Jan 25 2021

Took me right back to my ska days in high school. Would have preferred their first self titled album from ‘79 more, but this one had a lot of the same feel.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jan 26 2021

Such a good vibe throughout, nice and punky but with some good backup vocals.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jan 27 2021

Wow, I can’t believe I’ve never heard of her. Such an amazing voice and love the borderline country/funk sound. Love and Affection made its way to my hits playlist.

Spiderland by Slint
Jan 28 2021

Not a huge fan. I get it and I understand why it was influential to some genres that followed but overall I couldn’t get through the entire album.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 29 2021

Such a pump up album, gets you in the mood to go out and have a beer.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Jan 30 2021

Great album, would definitely listen again. I kept listening to more of their music after the album and I think I like more of their later music better, but overall feels like they were very influential.

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 31 2021

Wow couldn’t believe how much I liked this album. Beats were great and I could hear where a lot of artists sampled their work from.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Feb 02 2021

Tito Puente for the win! Such a good vibe

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Feb 04 2021

Great album, only ever listened to greatest hits from them but thoroughly pleased with the deep cuts too.

Pink Flag by Wire
Feb 05 2021

Quick with good vibes. Some absolute bangers like Ex Lion Tamer. Definitely added to my personal playlists.

Feb 06 2021

I completely understand where bohemian rhapsody came from now and definitely more into queen than before. It was interesting to hear how many different genres they dove into.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Feb 08 2021

Album kicked ass, kept the energy high. Every song sounded like a hit to me.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Feb 09 2021

Great African jazz, lots of different styles though with some very hectic moments too.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Feb 10 2021

Smooth easy listening, straight out of the 60’s. You can definitely hear how they inspired a ton of other bands in that era.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Feb 11 2021

Great album, and was super smooth from beginning to end.

Kala by M.I.A.
Feb 12 2021

This album took me back, was on repeat for me back in 07’ and I still loved all the songs. The beats are what make this album for me.

Illmatic by Nas
Feb 13 2021

Straight fire. I see where a Nas has influenced a ton of rappers. Beats were great.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Feb 14 2021

Def not my cup of tea, although I see where they influenced a lot of hardcore music I used to listen to back in the day.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Feb 15 2021

Was not a fan. I liked the guitar and the drums, but I could not get over the water vocal effect.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 16 2021

Very surprised by this one. It made me understand Hallelujah a lot more. So many different genres from grunge to operatic at times.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Feb 17 2021

Sounded like the mamas and the papas and a lot of the bands in this era. I didn’t see a lot of standout tracks.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Feb 19 2021

This was a real gem, never heard of this cat before and had no idea how big he was. Some really interesting beats and sounds.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Feb 20 2021

Great album. Wish I would have found them earlier, this album pumped me the hell up.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Feb 21 2021

Absolute perfection, could listen to this album over and over.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Feb 22 2021

I feel like having this album live wasn’t as good. The audio quality wasn’t that good and you couldn’t hear the singing as times.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Feb 23 2021

What a fun album, totally a mix of The Beach Boys, Beatles, and the clash.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 24 2021

I liked this Springsteen album way more than the previous. This one was way more entertaining.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Feb 26 2021

I’m not a huge reggae fan but this one was fairly good.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Feb 27 2021

Can’t believe this came out in 1957. It feels relevant but still has that classic twang that he is known for. Great album and an easy listen

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Feb 28 2021

Great album, loved this equally as much as their other album. Such a unique sound and tons of amazing instrumentals.

Mar 02 2021

And I thought that wonderwall was going to be the best song on their album, boy was I wrong. Great album, super solid all the way through.

Fun House by The Stooges
Mar 03 2021

This was interesting, there were some parts that I could get into but overall I wasn’t a huge fan.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Mar 04 2021

Great album, all the hits, and found some samples to other songs I didn’t know were a thing.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 05 2021

Original emo right here.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Mar 06 2021

Surprisingly way better than I thought. I don’t think I ever listened to a single Radiohead song, so I’m glad this was on the list!

Mar 07 2021

Now that’s what I call Country, Vol 1. This is a really good album, I’m not much of a country guy, but this had some really good hits that get stuck in your head. Wham Bam, favorite

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Mar 08 2021

Loved hearing timbalands beats from back in the day, there were some bangers but overall not a huge fan.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Mar 09 2021

Seemed a little repetitive, but the guitar chords got me hyped. I can see where they influenced a ton of hard rock bands I used to listen to back in the day.

Mar 10 2021

Such great singers and guitar players. Absolute classic. Some of the guitar solos went on for a little too long IMHO, like the last song is 14 min long, that’s a bit.

Mar 11 2021

Can’t believe I never heard of her, had a Joni Mitchell vibe mixed with Sheena Easton, I really liked it.

Kenya by Machito
Mar 12 2021

Very lively, these are the deeps cuts that I was looking for. Not my favorite jazz/samba album that we’ve had so far but nonetheless it’s solid.

Mar 13 2021

I’m not a huge fan of Dylan’s voice, but I found that the entire album is super cohesive and I think I appreciate him a lot more than I previously did.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Mar 14 2021

Some pretty cool beats, definitely would have listened to them back in middle school real hard, but a tad bit repetitive for me.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 15 2021

Can definitely see where artists like Taylor Swift and Haim get a lot of inspiration from. I thought the second half of the album was way better than the first.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 16 2021

I was expecting more from this album. It was a lot slower and more subtle than what I’ve heard from them, maybe I’m more of a Fleetwood Mac greatest hits kinda guy.
