Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Smashing Pumpkins
Classic, classic. Still rocks. I have a bias against double LPs though.

Jan 16 2021
Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd
Great record! Really enjoyed listening to it again, start to finish. Good soundtrack to a chill morning frying bacon and eggs for the fam.
5
Jan 17 2021
Sign 'O' The Times
Prince
Great record. Doesn't drag too much for being a double LP. Prince is a favorite.
4
Jan 18 2021
Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
A fine record. "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" is a classic, and I liked the title track. On the whole though... this music does not grab me, really.
2
Jan 19 2021
The Doors
The Doors
I went through a huge Doors phase, and still love going back to their music. This album is arguably their best, and there aren't really 'bad' songs or filler, as in some other albums. I used to really buy in to the Jim Morrison as poet thing, but I think it's mostly nonsense, now. I still really enjoy their music, though!
5
Jan 20 2021
Parklife
Blur
I don't think I've ever listened to this all the way through. I liked it! The sound of it just didn't really grab me throughout, despite its significance or whatnot.
3
Jan 21 2021
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Iron Butterfly
I've never listened to this record, despite hearing the title track all my life on classic rock radio stations, or at least a trimmed down version of it. I enjoyed the record, don't really see why it's so important. I guess you've gotta widen the scope of this thing a little bit if there are a THOUSAND on the list, haha
3
Jan 22 2021
Electric Warrior
T. Rex
Great album. It's a fun vibe all the way through. I've revisited it many times over the years
4
Jan 23 2021
Queen II
Queen
A fun listen. A bit too much of a rock opera for my attention span though, I think? Quality music though.
3
Jan 24 2021
Ramones
Ramones
Solid debut. Iconic. I struggle with their LPs because 1) so many tracks blend together, and 2) there's a lot of filler of so-so songs.
2
Jan 25 2021
90
808 State
I've never heard of this group or record previously. It was a fun listen! This era of electronic music is a gap for me. I've got Kraftwerk, and then nothing prior to the mid 90s with Moby etc.
3
Jan 26 2021
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Red Hot Chili Peppers
This is a long record. Fun to revisit. But... it's a long record. Cut 3-4 tracks and it'd get a fourth star.
3
Jan 27 2021
Supa Dupa Fly
Missy Elliott
Sorta sleepy and chill, was a good listen, even if the music didn't grab me (sorry, Missy!). Busta real agro in the intro and outro, does not go with the vibe of the record.
2
Jan 28 2021
Hard Again
Muddy Waters
Classic, classic record. Great listen, though no single song sticks with me past "Manish Boy," except maybe "The Blues Had a Baby and They Named it Rock and Roll."
3
Jan 29 2021
To Pimp A Butterfly
Kendrick Lamar
Such a good record. So many great tracks. Great listen from start to finish.
5
Jan 30 2021
The Last Broadcast
Doves
I was so bored listening to this. But I made it through. I've heard worse music, so it gets a second star.
2
Jan 31 2021
Green Onions
Booker T. & The MG's
Nothing but GROOVES on this one. Classic record.

Feb 01 2021
Natty Dread

Fun record, easy to listen to.
3
Feb 02 2021
High Violet
The National
I've never listened to this record before, just "Boxer." Though, I do know Bloodbuzz Ohio. I like this band, just haven't listened to them a ton.

Entirely forgettable, but fine.

Joan Baez
The voice of an angel. Beautiful. Never listened to her first record before; I mostly spin Diamonds and Rust.

Ryan Adams
I've never listened to him or this record before. I mostly hated it, but... kinda liked it, by the end? Extremely E A S Y . L I S T E N I N G .

That's The Way Of The World
Earth, Wind & Fire
Fun record, classic tracks. No real down notes on this LP.
4
Feb 09 2021
Fishscale
Ghostface Killah
I haven't listened to this since college, probably 15 years ago. I used to like the Wu-Tang extended universe a lot more back then. Now I don't enjoy the agro shout-rapping as much, in addition to content aging poorly.
1
Feb 10 2021
Blur
Blur
Fun record. Song 2 is an all-time classic, still gets my blood hot. Hadn't listened to this LP previously. Fun distortion.
4
Feb 11 2021
Bitte Orca
Dirty Projectors
I don't know what I was expecting, having only ever listened to a couple tracks from Dirty Projectors. They were huge with the hipsters while I was in college, so I guess I just never listened. A fine record, but forgettable.
2
Feb 12 2021
Sunshine Superman
Donovan
I love this record. It's like going back in time for a nice warm cup of tea.
4
Feb 13 2021
Aladdin Sane
David Bowie
Always enjoy a Bowie record. Never listened to this one though, somehow. It was fine. My favorite track was "Panic in Detroit," which was funnily enough the least-streamed track of the record, on Spotify.
3
Feb 14 2021
Casanova
The Divine Comedy
Art pop? Pop fusion? It's fine, not my thing.
2
Feb 15 2021

Who's Next
The Who
All-time classic. Nothing but great tracks. One of my favorite records.
5
Feb 18 2021
Locust Abortion Technician
Butthole Surfers
Didn't much enjoy this record. Interesting adding the layering of tape machines to hardcore.
1
Feb 19 2021
Exodus
Bob Marley & The Wailers
Great album. So nice to sit through :)
4
Feb 20 2021
Purple Rain
Prince
All-time classic. All tracks are fire, and "Purple Rain" is my least favorite--saying something.
5
Feb 21 2021
Third/Sister Lovers
Big Star
People really talk up Big Star and their stature, but I just don't get it. It's... fine?
2
Feb 22 2021
A Hard Day's Night
Beatles
Classic record, certainly not my favorite Beatles record, but a great one from their early era.
3
Feb 23 2021
Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul
Otis Redding
Never listened to this actual LP, though pretty much all of the songs were familiar. Absolutely fantastic.
5
Feb 24 2021
Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Wu-Tang Clan
I was big into Wu during college. Haven't listened much in the last 10 years, but this record is still a banger.
5
Feb 25 2021
Selling England By The Pound
Genesis
This was a slog to get through, but not awful. Not as much FUN as I expect from Genesis.
2
Feb 26 2021
Raising Hell
Run-D.M.C.
Classic record. Unless obsessed with golden era hip hop, not really worth listening to straight through, just hit the highlights.
3
Feb 27 2021
The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground
Great record, not my favorite of theirs. Definitely still "Velvet Underground," but more pleasant, not as noisy as later records.

Feb 28 2021
Tellinβ Stories

I really don't get BritPop. It's fine?

Mar 01 2021
The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators
The 13th Floor Elevators
I had a big psychedelic rock phase late in college/right after. The singles are good, the album mostly forgettable. Blends together.

Foo Fighters
Foo Fighters
Always enjoy the Foo Fighters. I'm not sure I've ever listened to their first record!
3
Mar 03 2021
American Idiot
Green Day
I like their other records more. I know this was caught up in the hysteria of a rock opera but for the NEW MILLENNIUM, but I don't think it was quite as amazing as it was made out to be.
2
Mar 04 2021
Autobahn
Kraftwerk
Thoroughly enjoyable early electronic music!

Halcyon Digest
Deerhunter
Enjoyable to listen to, no particularly memorable tracks.
3
Mar 06 2021
Thriller

I do not voluntarily listen to MJ's music. I change the radio station in the car if he comes on, and I'm not gonna listen to this asshole here either.

Emmylou Harris
I love her music and voice. None of these tracks really stuck with me though.

Marquee Moon

10cc
Not my bag, baby. But it's fine
2
Mar 11 2021
Happy Trails
Quicksilver Messenger Service
I remember liking Quicksilver Messenger Service more than this, upon relistening to this record. Maybe it was other records of theirs I liked more? My AP Gov teacher in HS introduced me to them. COOL DUDE

Fun but forgettable 80s vibey record
3
Mar 13 2021

Arctic Monkeys
It was good, fine. Don't know why they're so popular!

Beastie Boys
Fun record, so many samples. I get the critical reception.
4
Mar 18 2021
Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

I guess this record is important, for some reason? I liked a couple of the songs, most was just background music.

Jane's Addiction
It was fine. Got some hits, but most of the rest didn't grab me.
2
Mar 26 2021
The Wall
Pink Floyd
Haven't listened to this in years. It's good, iconic and all. I don't think it needed to be a double LP.
3
Mar 27 2021
Bringing It All Back Home
Bob Dylan
So many iconic songs on this record, no down points.
5
Mar 28 2021
Architecture And Morality
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
I had no idea what to expect with this one. It was exactly as described, the innovative bridge between early electronic music and electro pop. I liked it!

Mar 29 2021
Pink Moon
Nick Drake
Pathetically, I've loved this album since Garden State.
4
Mar 30 2021

New York Dolls
I love this record. "Personality Crisis" is so good.

Apr 02 2021

I've never really bought into solo John Lennon as being such a visionary etc. etc. But, a fine record.
3
Apr 03 2021
Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
PJ Harvey
It was a good listen, definitely of a certain era/point in time in altpop music. I didn't love it, but no complaints.

Eh, it was fine. Glad it's over. Spa music.

What a journey! Too long though. But I liked it.

Apr 10 2021
Countdown To Ecstasy
Steely Dan
I'm not sure if I've listened to this record before. It felt a little... gimmicky? Was that the point? I didn't like 'Bodhisattva,' and 'My Old School' was forgettable. I like their other big records more, I swear!
2
Apr 11 2021
Aja
Steely Dan
Not really a Steely Dan 'guy,' but this record is so easy and good to listen to.
4
Apr 12 2021
Psychocandy
The Jesus And Mary Chain
This is a band I've always wanted to like, but the distorted guitars just can't match up with the vibe, and it always just sounds unnecessarily noisy to me.

Apr 21 2021
White Light / White Heat
The Velvet Underground
Not my favorite VU record, but still a vibe to listen to. A little too noisy & chattery to be enjoyable throughout.

George Michael
ALL TIME BANGERS. lol. But, a good pop record of its era.

I liked this record! I hadn't heard of them.

So many solid tracks. Takes me back. Hard to listen to, with how violent and misogynistic and homophobic it is, though.

Simon & Garfunkel
A near-perfect album. So good.

Pixies has never really clicked for me. It's fine, just a combination of sounds that isn't *magic* to me.

Fun record, never listened to it before.

Never listened to this whole record before. Not gonna lie, it POPS

Man, this was a great record. Such a vibe
4
May 14 2021
ImmigrΓ©s
Youssou N'Dour
I feel like I should be able to mark 'listened' and 'enjoyed,' but also that I am wildly unqualified to put a rating on this, given how little I know about African music.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)
MC5
One of the all-time great live records. Definitely a favorite of mine.
5
May 16 2021

I find them kind of annoying overall, to be honest. I realized it's part of the idea probably, but I really only enjoyed a couple tracks.

Cheap Thrills
Big Brother & The Holding Company
This record has always felt a little disjointed to me, but it is undeniably an all-time classic.

Dusty In Memphis
Dusty Springfield
Good record, fantastic artist. Son of a Preacher Man is an all-time favorite song.
4
May 19 2021
Beggars Banquet
The Rolling Stones
Been a long time since I've listened to this record, it's just not one of my go-tos for the Stones. But it's a great one, kind of a sleeper even though only a couple of their bigger songs.
5
May 20 2021
Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes
Takes me back to a very specific post-college yearning. Sad, but pretty.
3
May 21 2021
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Beatles
Great, great record. Not *tons* of their biggest hits, but a thoroughly great record.

Very atmospheric, predictably. A pleasant listen. Super influential, from what I've read.

I enjoyed this, good noisy stuff. A few tracks definitely were fun.
3
May 24 2021
A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
My second favorite Stones album. So good.

Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman

Never listened to their record, beyond just their biggest hit. Fun house grooves, but I don't think this is that important :shrug:
2
May 28 2021
A Grand Don't Come For Free
The Streets
Was a labor to listen to this whole record. I just can't get into super-"English" hip hop or whatever this is. I do remember hearing a couple of the tracks and the biggest single was fun enough, but this record was a lot to get through.
2
May 29 2021
Shaft
Isaac Hayes
Never listened to this whole soundtrack before. It was a nice listen! Great vibes, of the era.
4
May 30 2021

Pantera
Never listened to Pantera before. Was a fun listen, sort of disjointed across styles of metal though. Not mad about hearing it

All Mod Cons
The Jam
This was... fine? There's way too much Brit pop or whatever in this list.
2
Jun 01 2021

Meh. It's an iconic sound, of this era. Don't find it very appealing overall.

This was a fun record. Not really sure what it was though! Interesting cross-genre vibes from the mid-90s.

Solid Air
John Martyn
Fun jazz/pop/folk record. Only a couple tracks stuck with me though.
3
Jun 09 2021
I'm Your Man
Leonard Cohen
No bad songs, so many great ones. Would've given it 4.5 stars if I could because it's not a 'perfect' record.
5
Jun 10 2021
Astral Weeks
Van Morrison
Great record. Second half is a bit forgettable.
3
Jun 11 2021
The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
The Incredible String Band
Brings me back. Haven't listened to this record in awhile. Not their strongest, but a good listen.
2
Jun 12 2021
The Slider
T. Rex
I'm not sure I've ever listened to this record--a good listen, but not as many iconic tracks as Electric Warrior.
3
Jun 13 2021
Hotel California
Eagles
A couple bangers, but otherwise a little too chilled out to be universally memorable.
3
Jun 14 2021

Fun psychedelic (?) record. Felt almost gonzo at times.
4
Jun 15 2021
Private Dancer
Tina Turner
Great record of this era. I was disappointed there weren't more BANGERS in here, but overall very solid.
3
Jun 16 2021
At Budokan
Cheap Trick
Man, their biggest hits strike me as so cloying. A fine pop-rock live record otherwise.
2
Jun 17 2021

Pet Shop Boys
Fun futuristic synth pop.
3
Jun 18 2021
The Visitors
ABBA
I honestly liked this way more than I expected to.

The Rolling Stones
My favorite Stones album. Nothing but great tracks, and my favorite songs of theirs to boot.

Faust IV
Faust
This type of music just does not hook me. Unobjectionable.
2
Jun 21 2021
The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
Nothing really to be said that hasn't been said before. Great record, and tight. Unlike some of their others.
5
Jun 22 2021
Another Green World
Brian Eno
I've never listened to much of his work, but I liked this record! Some catchy songs, despite his 'atmospheric' rep
4
Jun 24 2021
Synchronicity
The Police
I don't really love The Police's sound generally, but this was a fine listen. Biggest hit on it ("Every Breath You Take") is one of my most-hated singles of all time.
2
Jun 25 2021
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
One of my all-time favorite records. I'd go 4.5/5 if I could, but this deserves more than 4.
5

Low
David Bowie
I've not listened to the Berlin trilogy before. I liked this record. Very Blade Runner-y.
4
Jul 12 2021
The Slim Shady LP
Eminem
Man, this is so dark. It's been a long time since I've listened to this straight through, and it was hard to get through. Later records had the same themes, but more replayability.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo
The Byrds
I love this record.
