Picture Book by Simply Red

definitely smooth and not in a lacklustre way. It feels like a lot of love went into this album. Feels like sitting at a bar with a drink and a stranger, just to swap stories and part ways.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian

I used to love this album when I was younger, it was exactly how I felt. But now the undertone of sadness inherent in the lyrics is a little too painful. Still, one of the better albums out there.

London Calling by The Clash
May 07 2021

It didn’t grab me from the start but I could tell the music would grow on me

May 09 2021

Not sure i would listen to this again...but I only listened to it for a few minutes.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
May 11 2021

This was really really good and lyrical with amazing percussion and flow. But man the jokes are really cringe.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
May 12 2021

yes, a classic. It's like the air I breathe, not exciting, but essential.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
May 14 2021

fun listen. cringe jokes. great voice. great lyrics. reminds me of school. Marshal is so full of himself it's hilarious, I feel bad for what he went through, yet I don't relate to his personality much. I don't find him as wise or experienced as people say, but he's got guts.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
May 15 2021

she hits an emotional chord like few others do with her lyrics. My natural cynicism is now compounded by emotions.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
May 16 2021

really nice voice, and really nice music with a twinge of cynicism in places most joyous

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
May 17 2021

Not sure i'm going to listen to this one again. Nice rock, but a little repetetive for my tastes. maybe a lot of people have copied their style which is why I tire of the music so fast.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
May 18 2021

It's okay. I'm just not a fan of the beat in this genre of rock.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 19 2021

pretty good I have to say, it's a bit hard to listen to but in a good way. It's like one of those parties that make you uncomfortable cause everyone is doing drugs and making out, but its also very very interesting, and everyone is open and accepting.

May 20 2021

Yeah man, this is good shit. But only when you're already in a good mood. Which I typically am not. 5 stars though, what a legend.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
May 21 2021

It was nice...I was tempted to give it 4 stars, but its about as good if not better than Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
May 22 2021

Dayuuuuum I know this tune "Eple", so it came from THIS album! I think I enjoyed this album the most out of all the others.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
May 23 2021

Only Bowie can make this old school genre of rock feel more awesome as can be. But I think I won’t listen to it again .

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 24 2021

Yes I know this album. It’s a classic.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
May 25 2021

A bit more substance than a lot of modern rock...and started out strong with a throwback to the times during Vietnam war...but it became repetitive. Still I’ll give it 4 stars but won’t listen again.

Play by Moby
May 26 2021

Oh yeH this rocks

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
May 31 2021

the music is very very smooth like a milkshake, but the lyrics are painfully dull to listen to.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Jun 01 2021

definitely smooth and not in a lacklustre way. It feels like a lot of love went into this album. Feels like sitting at a bar with a drink and a stranger, just to swap stories and part ways.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 02 2021

So I like this album. But it isn't that memorable, and I don't feel the urge to listen to it again really.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jun 03 2021

I must have heard these tunes in a hair salon once, or a fashion show on television...they have that clean, upbeat feel. I can listen to this again, but I'm not sure if it moves me.

Scum by Napalm Death
Jun 04 2021

Woah these guys were ahead of their time. But ouch my ears! Also, repetitive, but I guess that's part of the genre.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jun 06 2021

I thought I wouldn't like this album when it first started to play. It reminded me too much of the typical angst of edgy rock bands. But it's a slow burn, and easy and calming to listen to. It's not the most inspirational stuff, but at the very least it does not make me cringe. I can probably listen to this to get to sleep.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jun 07 2021

Yeah this is short and sweet...almost too short

Dare! by The Human League
Jun 08 2021

This barely made it onto my favourite list, I just can't deny it's catchy as hell and great whenever it pops up on the radio

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 09 2021

Slightly dull to listen to, but definitely good tunes, I can see why people love it. I don't feel like listening to this album again despite how nice it is, but that's just me.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jun 10 2021

I have to admit, I was ready to just skip this album. But this album is really really good fun.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jun 14 2021

It's good and passionate with an excellent vibe. But not to my taste.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jun 15 2021

I can tell this album is a gem, I listened to the whole thing. But it doesn't make me happy, just more melancholic and pensive. Therefore, I tenuously have to give it 4 stars, while knowing it deserves 5 for being creatively powerful and clear in its expression.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jun 16 2021

This was very pleasing to listen to

Soul Mining by The The
Jun 17 2021

it was alright good

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jun 18 2021

nice jazzy bluesy film music

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jun 19 2021

oh hey i know this one

Arrival by ABBA
Jun 21 2021

classic, and great. dang why do I love this cheesy stuff ha

Tapestry by Carole King
Aug 13 2021

oh my god this was amazing

Harvest by Neil Young
Aug 14 2021

slow burn, but brilliant

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Aug 16 2021

not my cup of tea, but I can tell they rock the boat

Microshift by Hookworms
Aug 30 2021

it started out sounding pretty good, but shifted to regular band stuff part way

Elephant by The White Stripes
Aug 31 2021

This is an album from my youth, I listened to it a lot. However, nowadays I don't enjoy it as much, I need something more neutral. And this album is anything but neutral, it has quite the tasteful punch.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Sep 01 2021

The lyrics doesn't fit my taste or lifestyle. But it is very easy to listen to.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Sep 02 2021

This was an amazing album. I was well pleased.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Sep 03 2021

good as a joyful and relaxing background music

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Sep 04 2021

handful of great songs, handful of good songs, and some ok songs.

Protection by Massive Attack
Sep 06 2021

I enjoyed this album

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Sep 07 2021

he has a great smooth voice and the album feels as good as walk on the beach. Too emotional for me though.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Sep 08 2021

Something for everybody, poetry and whisky. Drunken drawling emotional man music

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Sep 09 2021

I liked this album. But I don't yearn to hear it again.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Sep 10 2021

I thought I would really like these guys, but they were okay. Really cool album art though.

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 12 2021

Had two amazing songs on it, and the rest was ok.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Sep 13 2021

okay, this is good

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Sep 14 2021

A recognisable and cool sound

Horses by Patti Smith
Sep 16 2021

Her voice is so good

Bossanova by Pixies
Sep 18 2021

this was surprisingly complex

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Sep 20 2021

its really really good, but I know it too well now and can't enjoy it as much!

Sister by Sonic Youth
Sep 22 2021

Comfortable loud noise

Quiet Life by Japan
Sep 23 2021

this was surprising good, with combinations of folk and jazz. smooth easy complexity.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Sep 24 2021

Not to be lumped in with the garden variety 'rebellious loud noise bands'. This one is creative with impeccably clean timing. expectations subverted.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Sep 25 2021

I was a little bored, but they have a lot of passion and that counts for a lot.

Sep 26 2021

they're cool and evocative, but I was a little bored tbh.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Sep 27 2021

I suspect they're great to listen to live, where you can feel the raw guitar, bass and drums.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Sep 30 2021

this is not bad

Oct 03 2021

They were good in their own way, but I really won't listen to this album again

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Oct 04 2021

This is not bad at all, something to relax to, but too wordy for my tastes to give it 5 stars.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 07 2021

this album had amazing tracks, but some tracks were dull

Oct 09 2021

the beats and editing was solid, each song opening is very exciting, but I found myself bored thirty seconds into most tracks

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Oct 10 2021

I used to love this album when I was younger, it was exactly how I felt. But now the undertone of sadness inherent in the lyrics is a little too painful. Still, one of the better albums out there.

Who's Next by The Who
Oct 14 2021

these tracks feel so alive

Smash by The Offspring
Oct 15 2021

it's good for drowning out thoughts with

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Oct 16 2021

Smooth as gravy, awesome

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Oct 17 2021

their gigs must sound amazing live, but in the quiet of my headphones it was simply noise

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Oct 18 2021

a snapshot of youthful energy and humour

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Oct 19 2021

It's really smooth

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 20 2021

a cocktail of energy, melancholy and nostalgia.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jul 06 2022

a jazz adventure you can call your own

2112 by Rush
Nov 10 2024

This was really good, relaxing second track added to the move. Seemed like simpler music solution to complexities of back then.

Nov 11 2024

The man with the big iron on his hip featured on this album. I didn't know it was so legendary, but it was a great listen.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Nov 12 2024

It’s really really nice music, but I dislike the feeling of my icy heart melting.

No Other by Gene Clark
Nov 13 2024

Just a really nice album to listen to on a day when I wanted to be left alone. Ironic really, when the song “no other” might be about the importance of not being alone.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 15 2024

Amazing album, easy to listen to, can listen for most occasions

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Nov 26 2024

damn the tracks on this album are so smooth, I can't believe it's from the 60's

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Nov 28 2024

First song was really strong, but then it became a bit too soft where I lost interest. Will still recommend highly for a car trip or those days where an album is needed.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Nov 29 2024

Some of the songs are really really amazing

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Nov 30 2024

it was nice to listen to, maybe an easy choice as upbeat ambience

Real Life by Magazine
Dec 02 2024

It was upbeat and interesting. A little bit hard to listen to but would wake me right up.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Dec 03 2024

Very cool simple melodies and bass lines that had me whistling along. They seem to have a style suitable for driving on dark lonesome highways.

90 by 808 State
Dec 06 2024

This might be one of my favourite work focusing albums. Has a lot of great sounds and beats.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Dec 07 2024

Had a couple of epiphanies just relistening to this. But i’m not a fan of the quieter songs

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 08 2024

It was fun but I wasn't hooked

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Dec 11 2024

I was very close to giving this 5 stars.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Dec 12 2024

hmm, pretty good.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Dec 14 2024

I don't care much for romantic albums, but her voice is nice to listen to. I can work to this music.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Dec 15 2024

I suppose I could listen to this voice again and again. I'd give this album 4.5 stars though, if I could.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Dec 16 2024

I think I'd be bored at one of their gigs, but it's not terrible.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 17 2024

It's a nice album. Born to run is a classic

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Dec 19 2024

Damn, I loved this album as a creativity boost. Got me in the zone.

Fragile by Yes
Dec 20 2024

mmm...for the song 'roundabout' i'm gonna have to give it 4 stars.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Dec 21 2024

Loud, rhythmic, gets me in the zone. Maybe a bit too much groove and not enough variety for my liking.

Dec 22 2024

like slow-motion rain in a bittersweet romantic American movie scene with a busy street

Elastica by Elastica
Dec 29 2024

Connection is a great song.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jan 02 2025

magical voice and emotions
