Popular Reviews

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock

Most of his tracks sounds like shitty Rage Against the Machine spoofs.

GI by Germs

Awesome punk album. Crazy that it was made in '79. Wonderfully produced, every instrument comes in clear, while still being chaotically punk.

Celebrity Skin by Hole

Great grunge album. Not every song is a winner, but the ones that are bop.

GREY Area by Little Simz

Very cool British hip-hop album. I enjoy her vocals and flow quite a bit. No complaints.

1-Star Albums (9)

All Ratings (532)

May 07 2021

A lot of hits. B-sides is great too. Very blues heavy. Love "All Girls Love Alice" and "Funeral for a Friend".

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 10 2021

Great CCR album. A bit 12-bar heavy, but there are some classic hits.

Revolver by Beatles
May 11 2021

Hit or miss. Back half is better than front half (except for Elenore Rigby).

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
May 12 2021

Eh. Overall okay. No particularly bad songs, but wasn't overly impressed with any songs either

Stankonia by OutKast
May 13 2021

Great album. Funny interludes, couple bangers ("Ms. Jackson" & "B.O.B."), couple goofy tracks ("We Luv Deez Hoez").

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
May 15 2021

Crazy album. A 13-minute epic right at the beginning, a couple of covers I wasn't expecting ("War" and "Born To Run"). End of the album was a bit weak, but otherwise a fun album.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
May 16 2021

Feel good album. Started very soulful and got heavy 50s-pop toward the end. Not a huge fan of their rendition of "Heard It Through The Grapevine". Otherwise, good stuff.

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
May 17 2021

Crazy album! Very progressive for it's time, unique instrumentation. Liked it a lot.

May 19 2021

What a wild ride. Very fun album. Some of early progressive's finest.

Moondance by Van Morrison
May 20 2021

Amazing album. Fantastic hits ("Moondance" and "Into The Mystic"), fantastic lesser known tracks ("And It Stoned Me" and "Glad Tidings"). Not much variety, but the consistency is welcome.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
May 21 2021

One of my favorite debut albums. Great tracks all the way through. And, of course, Sultans. Amazing. Knopfler is an animal.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
May 22 2021

Better than I was expecting. Not a fan of "Smoke on the Water", but "Lazy" is and amazing track. And I discovered "Maybe I'm A Leo" and "Pictures of Home" which are also bangers. Love Deep Purples organ work.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
May 23 2021

Very minimalist, very psychedelic. Not something I would regularly listen to, but cool listen.

Solid Air by John Martyn
May 24 2021

Amazing. Way ahead of its time as far as 70s folk goes. Fantastic production, well balanced instrumentation. Loved it.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
May 25 2021

Fantastic early soul. I'm a fan of a four track, 45 minute album. Not something for everyday, but a nice treat every once and a while.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 27 2021

Fantastic album. Buckley has got a great voice, love the variety in the album, all-around very good!

GI by Germs
May 28 2021

Awesome punk album. Crazy that it was made in '79. Wonderfully produced, every instrument comes in clear, while still being chaotically punk.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
May 29 2021

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Powerful lyrics, great vocals. Might have to give some more Morrissey/Smiths a try.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 31 2021

Definitely GnR at their best. Deep tracks are vulgar and almost comically rebellious. Fantastic hard rock album.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jun 02 2021

Not quite my thing, but it is a powerful soul album. Anita's got chops.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jun 03 2021

A fine Stones album. But that's all it is. Nothing groundbreaking.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jun 04 2021

Classic album, front to back. Nothing else to say.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jun 07 2021

First time listening to an Eels album front to back. I liked it a lot! Great flow, great overall production. Thumbs up!

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jun 08 2021

Eh. Not my thing. Not enough bite.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jun 09 2021

I liked it! The hits were the hits, no true hidden gems.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jun 11 2021

Early, raw Morrison. Very lyric heavy, fairly slow. Good listen.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jun 15 2021

Very good album. Fun to revisit. Ten Inch Record is hilarious. No More No More is a great track. Then, of course, the hits are hits for a reason. Still not perfect though, the last track is particularly weak.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 16 2021

Amazing reggae album. Bob Marley is a legend, no doubt.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jun 17 2021

Loved it! Can't believe I haven't listened to the whole thing. I like it more than Thriller.

The Slider by T. Rex
Jun 18 2021

Pleasantly surprised! Not a perfect album, definitely some weird tracks. But there are some bangers! Rock On, Buick something. Good stuff.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jun 19 2021

Eh. I appreciate it for what it is. Not quite my thing.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jun 20 2021

Wonderful jazz album. Very tight, nothing "overly" jazzy. I wished some of it was a bit more exciting though.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jun 21 2021

I can't believe I haven't heard of any of these songs prior to this! Paul Simon is a genius.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jun 22 2021

I liked it! Again, more than I thought I would. Definitely some bangers on this album. Overall great songwriting.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jun 23 2021

Not my thing.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jun 24 2021

Fun album! Interesting electronic duo.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jun 25 2021

Fun experience. Not a perfect album, but a couple of really cool tracks (The Bogus Man).

Marquee Moon by Television
Jun 26 2021

Decent album. Very Talking Heads-esque. Though after Marquee Moon, I just wanted everyone to be Marquee Moon.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jun 27 2021

Interesting album. "Where Is My Mind?" Is a classic, and heard a couple other bangers, including the title track. Not a huge fan of most of the other tracks.

90 by 808 State
Jun 28 2021
Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jun 29 2021

Awesome jazz album! Very cool that it is from '57.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 30 2021

Very cool album. Costello always sounds modern to me. Crazy.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jul 01 2021

Very sad album. Great production though. Enjoyable album overall.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Jul 02 2021

Better than I had anticipated. I'm not a huge fan of "Cars", and a lot of the tracks sound a lot like it, but it grew on me. "Metal" is a banger!

Be by Common
Jul 03 2021

Very cool rap album. Fun guest appearances by Kanye. Has a Chappelle Show track, which is always a good time.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jul 04 2021

Weird

New Forms by Roni Size
Jul 05 2021

Very chill. Liked it a lot.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jul 07 2021

Not my favorite Stripes album, but very good nonetheless.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jul 08 2021

Slow indie rock. Not my jam, still had a couple of good tracks.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Jul 09 2021

Most of his tracks sounds like shitty Rage Against the Machine spoofs.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Jul 10 2021

Great early punk album! Might have to revisit classic British punk...

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Jul 12 2021

Strange album, like a trippy, raw Beatles album. RIP Syd. Wish you were here.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jul 13 2021

Pretty good album. A couple tracks have heavy Springsteen vibes. The hits are fine ("Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and "Time After Time"), but the album picks up a bit with the deeper tracks .

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jul 14 2021

Actually really good. Cohen might not have vocal chops, but his songwriting is beautiful and artistic.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jul 15 2021

Kinda cool, not exactly my thing.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jul 16 2021

Better than I thought I'd be. Bitter Sweet Symphony is my least favorite song on the album.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 18 2021

Neat 80s synth pop album. "It's A Sin" is a bop.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jul 19 2021

Pretty cool folk rock album! Female vocalist has some pipes.

Jul 22 2021

Another great hip-hop album. Common has great flow and the beats are funky.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jul 25 2021

Mariah is an amazing vocalist, this just isn't my thing.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jul 27 2021

Interesting songwriting, not my thing.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jul 28 2021

Amazing album! Way more prog than I thought it be. Go Cooper!

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jul 29 2021

Pretty cool house album.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Jul 30 2021

Better than I thought it'd be, still not quite my thing.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jul 31 2021

Neat rock album! Very interesting. Not a bad track on the album.

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 01 2021

The end of the album was much more avant garde than expected. Love me some Bowie.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Aug 02 2021

Awesome album! Pleasantly surprised to find that "Take Me Out" is not my favorite track.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Aug 05 2021

Not what I expected, but pretty good! Strange electronic is always welcome.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Aug 07 2021

Strange album, a bit too spoken word for me. Not terrible though.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Aug 08 2021

Not my favorite Aerosmith album, but still solid.

Moon Safari by Air
Aug 09 2021

Cool chill album. Started very stringy, ended a little weak.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Aug 10 2021

Very cool, very early punk album. I liked it a lot.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Aug 11 2021

Love Dave Grohl, not a huge Foo fan.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 13 2021

One of the best albums ever made. Hit after hit after hit. Perfection.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Aug 14 2021

Mr. Reed is an interesting fellow. I liked the album, just strange vocals.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Aug 15 2021

Fun Brazilian "tropical" music. Pretty good stuff.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Aug 16 2021

Eh. "The Weight" was the only song I recognized, and every other song sounded a lot like it. Pass.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Aug 17 2021

Sooo good! Love this album. Early funk at its finest.

OK by Talvin Singh
Aug 18 2021

Very interesting album. Debut album from the pioneer of "Asian Underground". I liked it quite a bit.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Aug 19 2021

Amazing lol I've performance. B.B. truly was one of the all time greatest blues musicians.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Aug 20 2021

Better than the other Sonic Youth album I listened to. Still not quite my thing.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Aug 21 2021

Very fun album! "Afrobeat" I believe is the correct term. Cool African jazz. Loved it!

Third by Portishead
Aug 22 2021

Fine album, still not really my thing.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Aug 23 2021

One of the greatest debut albums of all time from one of the great rock bands of all time. Enough said.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Aug 24 2021

Very fun album. Unique mix of prog, post-punk, indie rock. Always a big fan of a drum track.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Aug 25 2021

Good ol country album. Lots of cool slide guitar. Classic country story telling. Not exactly my thing, but not bad either.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Aug 26 2021

Classic live album. Not my personal favorite, but a very significant album culturally

Wild Gift by X
Aug 27 2021

Neat punk album. Fairly high quality production, a bit more polished than your traditional punk. Not all the tracks were winners.

Aug 28 2021

This is the first Dylan album I've listened to front to back. I liked it! I get the appeal now. Obviously not my favorite vocalist, but he is a talented songwriter.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Aug 29 2021

Awesome album. Tons of hits, the B-sides are bangers too. One of their best.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 30 2021

Fun 80s new wave album. Cool to hear early electronic tracks like these.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Aug 31 2021

All the rat pack stuff starts to sound the same. Great sound, just little variety. Not my favorite Sinatra album.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Sep 01 2021

I liked this album more than the previous album on the list "For Your Pleasure". Still not a perfect album though, strange ending.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 02 2021

Post-punk is weird.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Sep 04 2021

I do appreciate Little Richard, but every song sounds exactly the same. That said, I really like "Rip It Up".

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Sep 05 2021

Awesome soundtrack! So funky, might have to actually watch the movie now.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Sep 06 2021

Some old school soul. Cool sound, but like a lot of old albums, suffers from sounding very similar track to track

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Sep 07 2021

Killer 80s album. I'm a bit particular about my synthwave, but these guys nailed it.

Kenza by Khaled
Sep 09 2021

Good music! Never listened to Algerian folk music before, it's fun!

Purple Rain by Prince
Sep 10 2021

A few great hits, and "Darling Nikki" was a delightful hidden gem. Not perfect, but a classic.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Sep 11 2021

Bad ass rock blues album. Clapton has a very distinct tone, and I dig it. The album is a bit repetitive though.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 12 2021

Grunge at its finest. Bunch of hits, cool non-hits. Love it.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Sep 13 2021

Awesome jazz album! Only two tracks, which is pretty wild. Highly recommend

Sep 15 2021

Started off a bit too soft for me, but picked up. Weird elements of southern rock and psychedelic that somehow work pretty well.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Sep 16 2021

Fairly typical 90s rock album. Good, but nothing particularly special.

2112 by Rush
Sep 17 2021

Title track is of course an absolute epic. Most of the other tracks are banging as well, but not all. 2112 makes up for it though.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Sep 18 2021

Cool album. Some tracks lack in production/mixing, in my opinion.

Queen II by Queen
Sep 20 2021

What an album! Started a little weak, not quite the oomph I'm used to from Queen. But man, did it pick up! Ogre Battle was epic, March of the Black Queen is amazing (very reminiscent of Bohemian Rhapsody), and of course Seven Seas of Rhye. Loved it!

Sep 21 2021

Neat Britpop album! No complaints, pretty strong all the way through.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Sep 22 2021

Great grunge album. Not every song is a winner, but the ones that are bop.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Sep 24 2021

Very good early indie rock. Not perfect, but a fun ride.

Boston by Boston
Sep 25 2021

Eh. My issue with this album is that most of the songs sound exactly the same. It's a decent sound, just wish there was some variety.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Sep 26 2021

A bit too folk country for me

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Sep 28 2021

Fun album! Not my go-to, but fun to listen to salsa every once and a while.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Sep 29 2021

Cool prog rock album! The organ is on point. I love me a 20 min. opening track. I may have become a fan of ELP.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Sep 30 2021

Classic alt rock album. The hits are amazing ("Been Caught Stealing") and the deeper tracks are jamming. Very unique sound. Big fan.

B-52's by The B-52's
Oct 01 2021
Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Oct 02 2021

The covers were meh, and the rest (other than "Green Onions") were a bit repetitive. But "Green Onions" is one of the coolest songs in human history. It's this album's saving grace.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 03 2021

Great Marley album. Nothing mind blowing, but overall strong start to finish.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 04 2021

Really cool and unique jazz, ranging from free to smooth-esque. Enjoyed it a lot.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Oct 06 2021

The covers I'm aware of on this album ("Jumping Jack Flash" and "Light My Fire") are unnecessary. I enjoyed the rest of the tracks. Not my favorite album though.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Oct 08 2021

Heart of Glass is the only reason this album is not getting one star. Not a fan of Blondie.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Oct 09 2021

Love the mod revival movement. Cool mix of punk and early rock. Strong album start to finish

No Other by Gene Clark
Oct 10 2021

Liked it way more than I expected I would. Kind of a "John Denver meets Pink Floyd" sound. Big fan.

Smash by The Offspring
Oct 11 2021

Great album for the most part. Some of the tracks don't hold up as well as I remember. Still enjoyable.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Oct 12 2021

Very cool hip hop album. Not perfect, but it's a fun classic rap album

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Oct 13 2021

Good ol outlaw country at its finest. Can't give it a perfect score because, well, country. But gotta love Willie.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Oct 14 2021

Eh. I appreciate the idea of Tom Waits, but a full album of his is a bit much.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Oct 15 2021

Cool 60s rock album. Nothing breakthrough, but enjoyable.

Elastica by Elastica
Oct 17 2021

Fun punk-esque album.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Oct 18 2021

The title track is a classic, and the full 17-minute long album is always a hoot, but a bit long winded. Rest of the tracks were meh.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Oct 19 2021

What an album. Peak Stones.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Oct 20 2021

Better than I thought it'd be. I only knew "For What It's Worth" before this album, I've learned they have quite a variety of sounds. Worth the listen.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Oct 21 2021

Loved it! John Denver meets Pink Floyd? Unique singer/songwriter experience.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Oct 22 2021

Had a very Beatles sound, wouldn't have guessed any of the tracks on this album were the Beach Boys. A bit political. Fun listen. Not their best though.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 23 2021

Slow, sad 80s. It was fine, not my favorite.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Oct 24 2021

Interesting album. Very early electronic. I enjoyed it, but didn't love it.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Oct 25 2021

I appreciate Janis Joplin, I just find her voice grating at times.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 26 2021

I liked it! "It's Tricky" is a classic, "Walk This Way" is a bit unnecessary, overall a fun album.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Oct 27 2021

Pretty cool punk album. Interesting reggae twist. No complaints here

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Oct 28 2021

Super cool album! Was initially nervous, but man, Stevens brings indie to a whole new level. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Oct 29 2021

Wild ride! Crazy to think this album came out in '66. Very early punk elements, quite avant-garde for it's time. Loved it.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Oct 30 2021

Decent 90s alt rock album. Nothing super special stood out to me though.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Oct 31 2021

Goofy album, I liked it though. Quirky 90s alt rock, couple bangers.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Nov 01 2021

Interesting, but not quite my thing.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Nov 02 2021

Eh, not my thing. Not terrible, just not feeling it.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Nov 03 2021

Better than I thought it'd be. Still not my album of choice, but she's got a few cool tracks on here.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Nov 04 2021

"Bad Blood" is one of my least favorite songs of all time.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Nov 05 2021

Very cool album! Great lyrics, amazing flow. A true legend.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Nov 06 2021

Fun album! Great mix of hip-hop and punk to make a truly unique experience.

Leftism by Leftfield
Nov 07 2021

Very cool early house album. Definitely some bumping tracks.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Nov 08 2021

Not my favorite album of his. Still some decent tracks, but didn't hit as hard as This Year's Model

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Nov 09 2021

Very cool hip-hop album. Q-Tip has a unique flow, very jazzy/R&B instrumentation. Highly recommend.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Nov 10 2021

Classic gothic rock is strange. I dig it.

Parklife by Blur
Nov 11 2021

Awesome album! I'm constantly surprised by how varied Blur is while keeping their almost comical signature sound.

Nov 12 2021

I liked it! The non-hits we're still great. Loved his cover of Elvis. Still a bit to folky for a perfect score

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Nov 13 2021

Eh. Love Bob Dylan for his impact on musical culture, vocals are garbage.

Skylarking by XTC
Nov 14 2021

Interesting album. Didn't love most of it, but had a couple really cool tracks ("Dear God").

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 16 2021

Absolute classic.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Nov 18 2021

Eh. I don't hate Morrissey, just not really my thing.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Nov 19 2021

Very cool British hip-hop album. I enjoy her vocals and flow quite a bit. No complaints.

Real Life by Magazine
Nov 21 2021

Fun alt "mod" rock album. Not the most gripping stuff ever, but at least enjoyable all the way through

Violator by Depeche Mode
Nov 24 2021

Killer album! Love the sounds Depeche uses.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Nov 25 2021

Eh, a couple of decent tracks. But overall, a bit slow for me.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Nov 27 2021

One of the best singer-songwriters ever.

Blur by Blur
Nov 28 2021

Probably my favorite Blur album so far. Can't go wrong with Song 2. Couple other bangers. A couple "experimental" which were eh

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Nov 29 2021

Really fun album. Great score

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Dec 01 2021

What a legend.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Dec 03 2021

Pretty cool! Couple weird, but very neat tracks.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Dec 04 2021

I liked it a lot. "Gimme Shelter" is one of my RS favorites. Not a perfect album, but damn near.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Dec 05 2021

I appreciate what they did for post-punk, but not a fan. Not garbage, just meh.

Cross by Justice
Dec 07 2021

So grimey! Loved it! More depth than just "D.A.N.C.E."

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Dec 08 2021

Not his best work. A bit slow and stale. Still enjoy me some Clapton

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Dec 09 2021

Ella is an absolute legend. Not every song hit, but her talent more than makes up for that.

Nixon by Lambchop
Dec 10 2021

Interested album. Heavy Leonard Cohen vibes, but I enjoyed the music a bit more. Not my go-to, but didn't hate it.

Dec 11 2021

Another classic. What is there to say about Queen that hasn't already been said?

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Dec 12 2021

Cool album! The hits are hits for good reason, and the deeper tracks are very well written. Some tracks go hard AF. Quite a rollercoaster of an album.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Dec 13 2021

Bit of a strange album. Some tracks sounded 70s, some sounded 50s, more covers than I expected. Not great, just odd.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 14 2021

Loved what he did for music and guitar playing, but not a great songwriter. Still a strong album.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Dec 15 2021

So much fun. Nothing bad to say.

Is This It by The Strokes
Dec 17 2021

Pretty cool album. Not much variety, but enough to not dismiss it. At least the similarity sounds good.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Dec 18 2021

Pretty cool, though there were more covers than expected which threw me off a bit.

Pornography by The Cure
Dec 19 2021

Liked it more than I thought I would. I might actually like The Cure.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Dec 20 2021

Catchy hip hop album. Love Snoop's cameos.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Dec 21 2021

Not bad, but easy to forget.

Spiderland by Slint
Dec 22 2021

Very interesting album. Having been recorded in '91, sounds very influential for alt/post-rock to come. Not something I would listen to everyday, but I appreciate it's significance.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Dec 23 2021

Cool blues album! Though I can't help but think that Jeff Beck sounds a bit like Rod Stewart...

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Dec 24 2021

Not exactly my thing, but she does have a powerful voice. And some of the tracks are particularly funky.

Kid A by Radiohead
Dec 28 2021

Cool album. A bit lower energy than I expected, but then again I've never listened to a full Radiohead album.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Dec 30 2021

Awesome early hardcore album. Sounded a bit like a mix of SOAD and Tool. Not a perfect album, but definitely enjoyed it.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Dec 31 2021

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. A bit slow, but "Rocket Tail" was a bop!

The Doors by The Doors
Jan 01 2022

Wonderful! Full of hits, that B-sides bop. Strong front to back.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jan 02 2022

Cool album. Not perfect from start to finish, but this is the level of post-punk I look for.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jan 03 2022

What can I say, I'm a sucker for classic punk.

The Score by Fugees
Jan 04 2022

Incredible hip hop album. Now one of my favorites of all-time.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jan 05 2022

Eh. Reminded me a big of the B-52s at times. Couple decent tracks, but overall forgettable

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Jan 06 2022

Interesting album. Liked most of the tracks.

Homework by Daft Punk
Jan 07 2022

Amazing. I'm a bit biased, being a fan of Daft Punk, but strong album through and through.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 09 2022

Pretty good album. Had a few of the hit, though not quite as jazzy-prog as I like my Dan.

All Directions by The Temptations
Jan 10 2022

Very soulful! Heavy "Shaft" vibes.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 11 2022

A few bangers, a few stinkers. Overall, I enjoyed it. Screw the haters.

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 12 2022

ABBA is always a good time. Not one I can binge, but fun every now and again.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jan 13 2022

Incredible album. Great variety, strong tracks, amazing guitar work. RIP Cornell.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jan 14 2022

Some cool tunes, but easily forgettable.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 15 2022

Pretty cool album! Like an artsy Daft Punk. I dig it.

Achtung Baby by U2
Jan 16 2022

Eh. Better then I thought it'd be. Still not for me.

Jan 17 2022

Interesting. Sounded more modern than '02. Not my favorite, but enjoyable.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jan 18 2022

Cool album! First time listening to the Smiths. Actually have nothing bad to say.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Jan 21 2022

Not my favorite classic western album of all time, but some tracks were pretty fun.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jan 22 2022

Lou is truly something else. Not a perfect album, couple fun tracks.

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 23 2022

Incredible. One of my favorite albums on the list so far. Way ahead of their time.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jan 24 2022

Loved the album. Certainly a work of its time. "Connected" is an absolute classic.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 25 2022

Incredible. MJ was a truly talented vocalist. RIP

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jan 27 2022

Interesting 90s alt rock album. Seemed a bit generic to me, but still enjoyable.

The Band by The Band
Jan 28 2022

Loved the honkey tonk elements of this album, definitely don't hear that much anymore. Cool album overall.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 29 2022

Cool modern-punk album. Maps was a pleasant surprise, but most of the rest of the album was much heavier which was wonderful.

Jan 30 2022

Very ahead of it's time. Still has elements of old-school hip-hop, but that's to be expected from a '90 album. Overall, very cool album. A bit repetitive at times, but I enjoyed it.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 31 2022

A bit soft for my liking, but she is very talented. Cool songwriting, powerful lyrics. Glad I listened.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Feb 01 2022

So good! David Byrne is a proper genius

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Feb 02 2022

A bit slow for me, but had some really cool elements. Strong songwriting, unique voice.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Feb 03 2022

Though I'm more of a fan of Scott, this album is a masterpiece.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 04 2022

A couple of cool tracks, not my favorite album of theirs though. A bit too "soft"

Phrenology by The Roots
Feb 05 2022

Fantastic hip hop album! More electronic than I was expecting.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Feb 06 2022

Eh. Not horrible, but not my thing. The cover of Iron Man was very unnecessary.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Feb 07 2022

Really good garage rock album. A lot of short, fun tracks.

1984 by Van Halen
Feb 08 2022

Great album. Van Halen was a force to be reckoned with. Loaded with hits, and the lesser known tracks still rocked. Only thing that bugs me are Roth's vocals. Never been a huge fan.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Feb 09 2022

Funky album! Haven't heard most of these tracks, really enjoyed it! One or two meh tracks, but overall strong!

Feb 10 2022

Wow! Heavy jazz influenced hip hop album. Unexpected for sure, but a welcome surprise.

Feb 11 2022

I love the Kinks. They are so playful with their lyrics and theme. This album was a hoot. '60s Brit pop rock at its finest.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Feb 12 2022

Interesting album. Strange and fun transitions between songs. Not their most complex or energetic album, but fun and worth a listen.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Feb 13 2022

Really cool album. More gritty than Goodbye and Hello. Talented songwriter.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Feb 14 2022

Beautiful album. Not a wild range, but the instrumentation worked wonderfully for what it was. I love this album-a-day!

Different Class by Pulp
Feb 15 2022

Very cool 90s British indie rock album. Unique sound while still being very representative of its time. Not perfect, but will likely revisit it again soon.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Feb 16 2022

Fun rock album. Love how bluesy it feels.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Feb 17 2022

Fun proto-punk album. Some interesting covers. I liked it, but probably won't be revisiting soon

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Feb 18 2022

Eh. Again, not really my thing. She's a fine songwriter, I'm just generally not into the soft 90s rock scene.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Feb 19 2022

Good album. A couple hits I recognized, some I didn't. She's got a lovely voice, and a fine story teller.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Feb 20 2022

Cool folk album. Went pretty hard.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Feb 21 2022

Very heavy for '66. Couple interesting covers, but fun guitar work. Heavy Jimi vibes.

London Calling by The Clash
Feb 22 2022

Amazing album. First time listening to that album start to finish, what a masterpiece.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Feb 23 2022

Really good! Generally not my thing, but Dusty killed it with this one. Lyrics are powerful, melodies are catchy. Loved it.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Feb 25 2022

Very fun album. Insane number of hits. Hard to believe it came out in the mid-80s.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Feb 26 2022

Good ol classic Beach Boys. Enjoy a treat. Hard to hate surf rock.

Feb 27 2022

Really good grunge album! Hadn't heard of these guys before. A couple really cool tracks. Highly recommend.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 28 2022

Cool album. Very interesting instrumentation and songwriting combo. I enjoy LCD Soundsystem's early stuff more than their later stuff.

Suede by Suede
Mar 01 2022

Interesting. Not my first pick, but I didn't hate it.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Mar 02 2022

I liked it more than I thought I would. Never was a huge fan of their hits, but their deep tracks are pretty cool!

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Mar 03 2022

What a wild ride. Crazy voice! She's got some killer vibrato. Worth a listen.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Mar 04 2022

Great album! A bit heavy on the honkey tonk feel, but a strong Stones album nonetheless.

Dookie by Green Day
Mar 05 2022

One of Green Day's best. Amazing older hits, lesser known tracks still rock. Great stuff.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Mar 06 2022

Fun listen. It's cool to hear some very early San Francisco folk rock.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Mar 07 2022

Bad ass album! Truly ahead of its time. The birth of grunge?

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Mar 08 2022

The first half of this album sounded like a 90s action movie or a heist montage. Very fun. Got a little strange toward the end. Still worth a listen

Mar 09 2022

Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I might. A bit too indie "minimalist" for me. Didn't have quite the bite or substance I was looking for.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Mar 10 2022

Beautiful album. What an ensemble.

Low by David Bowie
Mar 11 2022

What a jam! Fairly straightforward rock on this album (with a couple strange signature Bowie tracks). Loved Breaking Glass! Not his best album ever, but I liked it.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Mar 12 2022

Fun Latin album. Always love a good mambo. Not my go to, but certainly worth a listen.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 13 2022

Incredible. The Avalanches are masters of the mashup.

The Clash by The Clash
Mar 15 2022

I'm a sucker for the Clash.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 16 2022

Sorry, Mr. Cave. This one is not for me. The whole album is too slow. Very little variety. A bit too church-like for me as well.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Mar 17 2022

Fantastic jazz album! What a trumpet player. This album felt pretty heavy for jazz, and I'm all about it.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Mar 18 2022

I wasn't initially sold, but it definitely grew on me. Very cool early psychedelic album. I was hooked by the end. Not a perfect album, but a cool piece of 60s rock pioneering.

Mar 19 2022

I've really been missing out on the Smiths! Great album! A couple of strange tracks for sure (girlfriend in a coma is very serious), but I loved the feel and composition of the album.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Mar 20 2022

Pretty cool album. Very funky. Will be looking into these guys more

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 21 2022

Fine album. Drags a bit for me, but good song writing. Very 90s.

Being There by Wilco
Mar 23 2022

Better than the last one. I enjoyed the slight hinky tonk feel of some of the tracks. Still not quite my cup of tea.

Kala by M.I.A.
Mar 24 2022

Pretty crazy album. Almost tribal in a lot of the tracks. I liked it, didn't love it.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Mar 25 2022

Very entertaining love album. Mixed well, they sound great. The only thing stopping me from rating this 5 stars is Smoke on the Water, hate that damn song.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 26 2022

Pretty cool early alt rock album. Doesn't have quite the oomph to keep my attention, but worth a listen.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Mar 27 2022

Likes it more than I thought I would. Generally not a fan of country/contemporary folk, but the last few tracks reeled me back in. "Heart of Gold" is a great track, and loved the collaboration with Dave Matthews.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 28 2022

Incredible classic blues album. Will never get tired of it.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 29 2022

Amazing. I'm a sucker for Mr. Joel. "The Stranger" goes hard!

Apr 01 2022

I enjoyed this album. Quite a variety of feels throughout. Sometimes reminiscent of older Daft Punk, sometimes had more of a Portishead feel. Not perfect start to finish, but would definitely listen again.

Vivid by Living Colour
Apr 02 2022

They are Glamour Boys!

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Apr 03 2022

Meh. Pre-disco Bee Gees are not my thing. Not unlistenable, but will probably not listen again.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Apr 04 2022

Not great, not terrible. Decent contemporary 80s rock.

Apr 05 2022

Iconic hip-hop album. Not exactly my go-to genre, but there's no denying the significance of Enter the Wu-Tang Clan.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 06 2022

True pioneers. A bit cheesy by today's standards, but this album is one of the first of it's kind for hip hop.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Apr 07 2022

Great songwriting, just not exactly my thing.

Calenture by The Triffids
Apr 08 2022

A bit too soft for me. Post-punk is really hit or miss.

Apr 10 2022

Pretty good grunge album. Didn't dig every track, but over all enjoyable.

Night Life by Ray Price
Apr 11 2022

Pretty cool classic country album. Will never be my go to, but this was fun.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Apr 13 2022

Wild Brazilian album. Many different influences come together to make a very unique experience of a Latin infused psychedelic folk rock sound.

Apr 15 2022

Awesome album! Very 80s. "The Walk" was particularly fun. Not every song was perfect, but certainly worth a listen.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Apr 17 2022

Very cool album. Couple of absolute bangers, couple of haunting ballads, fun listen.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Apr 18 2022

Crazy album! I actually really liked it. Very cool psychedelic rock experience. The narration between tracks is a bit bizarre, but that only adds to the wild experience.

Kenya by Machito
Apr 19 2022

Very cool Latin jazz album. Not my immediate go to album, though I highly recommend checking it out.

Synchronicity by The Police
Apr 20 2022

Generally not a huge fan of the Police, but this album had a couple great tracks I had never heard. Certainly don't need to hear "Every Breath You Take" ever again.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Apr 22 2022

Eh. Never been one to get heavily into long folk rock albums. Buckley is a great songwriter and I appreciate what he did, it's just not for me.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Apr 23 2022

My first Kanye album. I liked it more than I thought I would, did has some great beats. Not my favorite hip hop album, but definitely a fun listen.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Apr 24 2022

Pretty good album, though the covers were not improved from their respective originals. Still a very fun album.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Apr 26 2022

Not a huge Dylan fan, but didn't mind this album. Pretty blues-ey.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Apr 27 2022

Awesome album! Very unique, vocals are different but fit the feel very well. Loved it.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Apr 28 2022

Wild love album. Very cool take on some classical classics. There's not nearly enough organ in today's music.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Apr 29 2022

Great Elton album, start to finish. His best tracks are found elsewhere, but there are no bad tracks on this gem.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 30 2022

Awesome hip-hop album! Kendrick is a lyrical madman. Great beats, amazing flow, funny commentary/narrative throughout. Certainly worth a listen.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
May 01 2022

Eh. I like my 80s albums with a little more grit. This is a bit to bright and pop-y for me. Not unlistenable, but not my thing.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
May 02 2022

Wow! What a perfect example of a transition from punk to post-punk. It's got the raw energy of early 70s punk with the refinement yet experimental nature of punk's 80 predecessors. Amazing stuff.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
May 03 2022

Quickly jumped to one of my favorite R&B albums of all time. Badu is a master of her craft. Perfect mix of jazz, soul, and blues to make something uniquely her's.

The Undertones by The Undertones
May 04 2022

But of a wild album. Sounds like if the Dead Kennedy's made an album in the style of Rocky Horror Picture Show. And I've got absolutely no complaints. Big thumbs up from this guy.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
May 05 2022

Very interesting house album. Plenty of great tracks that sound slightly ahead of their time, but also a few tracks that fall a bit short. Fun listen though.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
May 06 2022

The 80s were a strange time for music, and I'm loving every second of it. Nothing but praise from me for the pioneers of modern ska.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 07 2022

I love Hendrix and his impact on rock and roll, but some of his tracks on this album are a bit too artsy and out there for me.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
May 08 2022

Eh. Ambient music has it's place but it's not for me.

Palo Congo by Sabu
May 09 2022

Very fun album! Hard not to dance. Very very raw though.

Drunk by Thundercat
May 11 2022

What a wild ride. So good.

1977 by Ash
May 12 2022

Decent rock album, though a bit forgettable.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
May 13 2022

Very cool, but I didn't like it as the other one of this list.

xx by The xx
May 14 2022

Fantastic indie rock album. A must listen

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 15 2022

Fine, fairly generic indie rock. But they do it well.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
May 17 2022

Very soulful R&B with some fun guitar work. Not perfect, but worth a listen.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 19 2022

Absolute perfection. No ifs, ands, or buts. If smoking and tripping is all that you do, look no further.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
May 22 2022

No doubt this was made in the early 90s. Fun cover of Mrs. Robinson, otherwise not very memorable.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
May 23 2022

Not bad, just not quite my thing

Let It Be by The Replacements
May 24 2022

More fun than I was expecting. Definitely not perfect, but I understand the cult appeal.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
May 30 2022
Tommy by The Who
Jun 03 2022
Mask by Bauhaus
Jun 08 2022
Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jun 13 2022

Not bad, but a bit slow.

Ctrl by SZA
Jul 04 2022
Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 12 2022
Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jul 13 2022

Not something I'd listen to everyday, but a very cool instrumental album. Bordering on avant garde.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jul 14 2022

Damn, Adamson is a beast. What a strange, yet cohesive album.

1999 by Prince
Aug 02 2022
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Aug 09 2022
Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Aug 25 2022

What a unique album. Strange blend of hip-hop and some pseudo-Calypso/tribal? Then it basically ended with a hoedown... I just don't know what to make of it. Would definitely listen again.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Aug 26 2022

Fine, I suppose. Just not my thing.

Play by Moby
Aug 27 2022

Great album! Great flow, the variety keeps each new track fresh. Jam-packed with hits, and the B-sides are well worth the listen.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Aug 30 2022

Not bad, but not their most memorable album.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Aug 31 2022

Not my first choice, but it's hard to go wrong with Willie.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Sep 04 2022

Not bad, though not much variety. Fun sound though.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Sep 06 2022

Very strange album. Not perfect, but worth the wild ride at least once.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Sep 07 2022

Very cool album, quite a transitional album from early to modern hip-hop.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Sep 08 2022

Classic heavy metal album.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Sep 09 2022

A bit of a slow start, but picked up a bit in the middle. Still a pretty strange album, but worth a listen.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

I had a weird mental block with The Smiths for a very long time. This album definitely broke that block. Loved the album. Not my favorite album ever, but plenty of bops.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Sep 11 2022

What a hilariously fun album. No complaints here!

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Sep 12 2022

A fine hard rock album. Not a huge fan of Def Leopard, but I certainly appreciate what they do.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Sep 13 2022

Leonard is definitely growing on me. This album is very slow, quite dark, but the lyrics are beautiful. I enjoyed most of it.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Sep 14 2022

Sure, they aren't the most versatile band to ever exist, but damn, they are really good at what they do.

More Specials by The Specials
Sep 15 2022

I appreciate what they did for ska, but most of this album is forgettable. Worth a listen for the impact it had, not necessarily its contents.

Sep 18 2022

I'm not usually one for spoken word, but Tom adds a fun flair to this jazzy album.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Sep 19 2022

Lang walks the give line between country and folk. Not a bad album, probably won't be returning to it anyone soon.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Sep 20 2022

Fine, I guess.

The Specials by The Specials
Sep 21 2022

Better than their other album on the list "More Specials", but not by a whole lot. Still worth a listen.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Sep 22 2022

Crazy album, very interesting early industrial. Certainly worth a listen.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Sep 23 2022

Fine R&B album. Not usually my thing, but I definitely didn't hate this.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Sep 24 2022

Not his strongest album. But he is the King.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Sep 26 2022

Great album! Few big hits, strong b-sides, gotta love ZZ Top

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Sep 27 2022

The hits (of which there are many) are fine, but the b-sides are what make this album worth listening to. Not a masterpiece album, but a great product of its time.

25 by Adele
Sep 28 2022

Great voice, but little variety in the album.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Sep 30 2022

I'm biased, deal with it. Long live Sabbath!

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Oct 01 2022

Really good indie rock album. Lacking a bit of variety, but still quite enjoyable.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Oct 02 2022

Awesome album! Lots of fun, start to finish.

Timeless by Goldie
Oct 03 2022

Crazy that this was released in '95. Quite ahead of its time. Heavy 90's action sci-fi vibes. I enjoyed this a lot.

Horses by Patti Smith
Oct 04 2022

Definitely not my thing.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Oct 05 2022

Not always a huge fan of R&B, but damn, this man has soul. Love the album.

Soul Mining by The The
Oct 06 2022

Like if Bowie leaned hard into post-punk. I really liked it.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Oct 07 2022

Certainly a strange one. Not for everyone, but a fun piece of underground history.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Oct 08 2022

Probably my favorite album of his. Very rock forward.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Oct 09 2022

Pretty cool post-punk album. No major complaints, other than it's not my favorite genre.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Oct 11 2022

A couple of GREAT tracks, but overall not wildly impressed.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Oct 12 2022

Iconic voice, back lacking a bit of variety.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Oct 13 2022

Pretty great album. Catchy tunes, fun and powerful lyrics. Not my first choice in genre, but I enjoyed it.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Oct 14 2022

It's easy to make fun of how cheesy this album is, but it was revolutionary in '82. Mad respect.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Oct 17 2022

Classic hip-hop. Not my favorite of all time, but certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Oct 19 2022

Decent classic "glam" rock album. Not my favorite. Bit of a poor man's Bowie, if you ask me.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Oct 20 2022

Dolly is a legend. Not my all-time favorite, but she has my respect.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Oct 21 2022

Fine. The soft, poetic singer-songwriter genre is really hit or miss for me, and this was a bit of a miss.

Tapestry by Carole King
Oct 23 2022

Great songwriting. Insane number of hits on this album. Not a perfect collection, but damn close.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Nov 13 2022

Very cool album! Bit of a poppy Portishead. Interesting listen.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Nov 14 2022

David Byrne for life!

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Nov 15 2022

Very fun hip-hop album. Missy can hang with the best of them. Not every song spike to me, but the ones that hit hit hard.

Scum by Napalm Death
Nov 16 2022

It's always fascinating hearing the birth of a genre. Such a crazy album. Certainly not for everyone, but a must listen in my book.

Nov 17 2022

Really fun and easy listening. Fantastic Brazilian flair. Nothing negative to say about it.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Nov 19 2022

Absolute classic hip-hop album. Their bears are next level.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Nov 23 2022

Eh. Dylan's a hell of a songwriter, I just don't find the appeal of his as a performer. Couple decent blues tracks, but nothing special IMO.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Nov 24 2022

What a legend. Not a perfect album, but certainly worth a listen.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Nov 25 2022

Not unlistenable, but not quite my cup of tea as far as power pop/punk goes.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Nov 26 2022

One of the best debut albums of all time. True classic rock classic.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 27 2022

Not quite my thing, but definitely some enjoyable tracks.

Nov 28 2022

Powerful album. A couple covers probably shouldn't have been covered, but overall a fantastic, raw, intimate Cash.
