Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division

It's perfect, sure, but maybe I could have paused it for a bit between the ages of 16-17 and spent some time outside with other kids

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain

19 year old me's top 10 album to walk the dog and smoke a cigarette to

Bummed by Happy Mondays

I'm uhhh .. really BUMMED this album is something I had to hear before I die

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

Album to become unhinged to

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers

I tried listening with an open mind but they have created something monstrous here. Some of the ugliest music ever.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 18 2021
May 28 2021

Some lyrics aged badly but still very good, maybe it's nostalgia talking

Faith by George Michael
Jun 08 2021
All Directions by The Temptations

Catchy dad rock strikes again

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Sep 10 2021

Hated the vocals a lot but this album disturbed/even scared me to earn very respectable 4 stars

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Sep 21 2021

I don't know what rating to give here because I only listened to highway to hell and then the next song was too sleazy. So I'm treating it as a single

Sep 23 2021

-top 1 album openers of all time One of my fav moments in this album is jay z being asked to write a verse about monstrosity of fame and licherally just going Frankenstein, Godzilla, Dracula....guy has no range 'so much head I woke up in sleepy hollow' I don't know if this album has aged a bit because some albums have extraterrestrial levels of production these days but it's still great

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Sep 29 2021

Enjoyable but failed to move me somehow. Having different weather might have helped

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 05 2021

19 year old me's top 10 album to walk the dog and smoke a cigarette to

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Oct 07 2021

Only 4 stars because they made even better albums later

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Oct 08 2021

Not sure why the list compiler's fascination with this guy

The Bends by Radiohead
Oct 12 2021

More like 3.7 because they haven't mastered the art of ethereal cryptic lyrics yet :p

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 15 2021
The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Oct 22 2021

This little album >>>>>>>>>>>everything pink Floyd has ever done

LP1 by FKA twigs
Oct 28 2021
Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Nov 04 2021

It's perfect, sure, but maybe I could have paused it for a bit between the ages of 16-17 and spent some time outside with other kids

Cross by Justice
Nov 08 2021
Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Nov 10 2021

Some absolute bangers if you are 9 year old me and don't understand the misogynistic lyrics

Low-Life by New Order
Nov 12 2021

You know how I feel about synths

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Nov 19 2021

Sample music can be great, but quite rarely. I don't get what vibe this was going for other than annoying

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Nov 23 2021

This album is strong 4 stars but the brain-dead libfem discourse it has spawned forces me to give it 3 stars

1984 by Van Halen
Nov 24 2021

Say what you will but this was short at least

Heroes by David Bowie
Nov 25 2021
Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Nov 29 2021

Album to become unhinged to

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Dec 03 2021
Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Dec 07 2021

Not sure how confident i am commenting on this, I think she's got a very lovely voice and the Wikipedia page is quite a saga of struggle, fame and incredible talent.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 14 2021

I tried listening with an open mind but they have created something monstrous here. Some of the ugliest music ever.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Dec 16 2021

Hmmm. I wanted to like this more than I did. Bold on the surface but aged kinda badly 'pussy don't fail me now' ??????

Jan 03 2022

I liked quite a lot of it but some songs felt either quite filler or cringe (Jamaica jerk off)

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jan 10 2022
Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jan 17 2022

Elliott Smith walked so that Sufjan Stevens could fly Those arpeggios are pretty sweet though.

Jan 20 2022

One of my least favourite albums by one of my least favourite britpop acts

Roots by Sepultura
Jan 21 2022
The White Album by Beatles
Jan 26 2022

I love this album. Complete ego trip of some of the greatest rock song writers. The richness and self mythologising and stupid pastiche songs and some of the best rock pieces ever written. while my guitar gently weeps morphing into happiness is a warm gun is some of the coolest sounding things from the 60s.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jan 27 2022

I really love some of the songs here and some are just musical seesaw instrumentals

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Feb 01 2022

From the two songs I could stand to hear, not bad!!! That Eric Clapton touch is obvious. Just not my thing. My dad would go apeshit if I gifted him this rec as a vinyl

Vivid by Living Colour
Feb 07 2022

The vocalists voice is very grating, the lyrics dumb, the instrumentation very bland

Drunk by Thundercat
Feb 21 2022
The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Mar 02 2022

I love the guitar work here but more mid than I remembered

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 08 2022

Unexpectedly lovely

Debut by Björk
Mar 14 2022
Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Mar 16 2022

I used to live this album when I had more time/attention span/weed to smoke to long repetitive albums

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Mar 28 2022

Godddd this album is long. I liked the stuff got through but still 10 songs left

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Apr 06 2022

The band after my heart and attention span

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 02 2022

A voice to die for

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jun 06 2022

I used to really like this album but save for 2 songs it has aged pretty badly. Bland indie rock of early 2010s

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jun 23 2022
