Popular Reviews

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons

1001 vibratos to listen to before you die. The vibrato was so distracting I didn't get much else out of this album. The background music was nice but overpowered by VIBRATOOOOOOOOO.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh

I see no reason why I needed to hear this album before I died. In fact, I'm probably more upset that I heard it before I died. That's an hour I could have spent listening to something good.

I appreciate the influence this album had on music but do I need to listen to it again? No, I do not. If I want to hear that much swearing I'll go to a Trump rally about vaccine mandates.

Kala by M.I.A.

If I had to choose between listening to this full album again or getting waterboarded for 47 minutes and 38 seconds I'd choose the latter. Paper Planes was the only song saving this from 1 star.

The Stooges by The Stooges

I was extremely sober listening to this and I feel like I could have enjoyed it being extremely high. But as such, I didn't enjoy it.

I appreciate the influence this album had on music but do I need to listen to it again? No, I do not. If I want to hear that much swearing I'll go to a Trump rally about vaccine mandates.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 11 2021

I initially liked the sound until the 12th song sounded the exact same as the other 11. Got boring pretty quick.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Nov 12 2021

I was extremely sober listening to this and I feel like I could have enjoyed it being extremely high. But as such, I didn't enjoy it.

Vivid by Living Colour
Nov 16 2021

Enjoyable listen! Wouldn't mind hearing this again every once in a while.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Nov 17 2021

Damn near put me back to sleep. Had some nice melodies and was relaxing but not a good morning album.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Nov 18 2021

Enjoyable listen. Turns out I knew a few Grateful Dead songs without knowing it!

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Nov 19 2021

Short and to the point. Nothing overly memorable but was still a good listen.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Nov 22 2021

Take Five is a classic that I love. The other songs were very interesting listens as well.

Faust IV by Faust
Nov 24 2021

I don't do shrooms but would need to if I were to listen to this again.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Nov 25 2021

It wasn't bad but also wasn't good in any way. 2 stars because it wasn't terrible but I couldn't recommend this to anyone.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Dec 01 2021

Relaxing and easy listening. Something I could listen to again just trying to unwind.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Dec 02 2021

Really enjoyed the punk vibes from this album. I'm going to come back to these guys for sure!

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Dec 03 2021

The orchestration was really interesting. Being French, I had no idea what was going on. If someone wasn't singing, I enjoyed it but when the signing was happening, hard pass.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 06 2021

Give It Away and Under the Bridge are 2 of my favorite RHCP songs. Great album all the way through.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Dec 07 2021

A lot of it sounded the same but at least those similar sounds were nice to listen to. Musically it was very easy on the ears and enjoyable.

Skylarking by XTC
Dec 08 2021

Another that wasn't bad, but also wasn't very exciting. I enjoyed Summer's Cauldron and Grass the most.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Dec 09 2021

It reminds me of all the good 90s music without any of the good. If you played this for someone as their first 90s experience they would think all 90s music is bad. It was missing excitement

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Dec 10 2021

Classic rock/blues feel to it. Hearing the live versions on the remastered alongside the studio really helps you understand how good they were live.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Dec 13 2021

I do respect what the Beatles did for music but this album, in particular, sounded like a single 30-minute song. There wasn't any variety to what they were doing. Still an enjoyable listen.

Low by David Bowie
Dec 14 2021

Breaking Glass has a great groove. Warszawa was very trippy. All in all just not for me

En-Tact by The Shamen
Dec 16 2021

It was alright but really just made we want to listen to Daft Punk.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Dec 17 2021

I enjoyed the variety in songs. Fun to listen to

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Dec 21 2021

It was pretty boring. Enjoyable enough to not skip but having it on in the background nothing really stood out and made me stop and think about it.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Dec 22 2021

Snoozer

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 23 2021

There were a few sounds I really enjoyed on this album. Heads will roll and Dull life were my favorites. The acoustics really showed the vocal quality. Better than the other Yeah Yeah Yeahs album.

Dec 24 2021

Ice Cold Ice was great. I was getting some serious BNL vibes from the vocals throughout which is always a good thing.

American Pie by Don McLean
Dec 28 2021

I really enjoyed it. Nothing beats American Pie but I still enjoyed Vincent and Everybody Loves Me, Baby a lot.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Dec 30 2021

It's not bad but it's also not good. Am I better off from listening to it? No. Am I glad I heard it? Also no.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Dec 31 2021

Good voice. Not my style of music. Interesting House of the Rising Sun cover.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jan 03 2022

Wow, I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Her voice is incredible and liked every song on this album I think. I'll be coming back to this one!

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jan 04 2022

Quick and to the point. Is it something I'd listen to regularly? No, but I still liked hearing more from The Temptations than just the hits I'm used to.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 05 2022

My opinions of Kanye aside I actually really enjoyed this album. There are a good number of his iconic early 2000 songs on here but as a whole I really enjoyed it.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jan 06 2022

Her voice is really nice but the album was pretty boring. It didn't keep my attention, just turned into background music.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jan 07 2022

Guitars are great throughout. Transylvania was an awesome jam.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jan 10 2022

This made we want to play Fallout again. I've heard Frank Sinatra a lot before but never listen to a full album. It's not really for me but was still enjoyable to listen to.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jan 11 2022

It was interesting but really wasn't for me. This seems like it wasn't meant to be listened to sober.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jan 12 2022

It was different but I didn't hate it. Daydreaming made me think of Lonely Island. Wonder if they took any influence from Massive Attack.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 14 2022

The instrumentation was great on every song. The vocals aren't always the most exciting but all in all I still enjoyed it.

London Calling by The Clash
Jan 19 2022

I enjoyed London Calling a lot but I don't think I remember any specifics from the following songs. They weren't bad but nothing really stuck out about them.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish
Jan 20 2022

I really enjoyed it to start but it lost me in the 2nd half. I think other substances would dramatically change my enjoyment of the entire album.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jan 21 2022

I really enjoyed this entire album. It was really great musically and fun to listen to

The Doors by The Doors
Jan 24 2022

I always feel like I should like The Doors but I just can't get into them. It wasn't bad but just isn't for me.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jan 25 2022

I enjoyed this album much more than the previous Bowie album. Young Americans and Fame were both great listens and overall I enjoyed the entire album.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jan 28 2022

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Jan 31 2022

I always love Rockafeller Skank and Praise You. I don't think I've heard any of the other songs but I enjoyed the entire album.

Feb 01 2022

Honestly, Killer Queen is a great song but I wasn't crazy about the rest of the album. It wasn't bad by any means but there are plenty of other Queen albums I'd go back to before this one.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Feb 02 2022

Next time I need to get really pumped up I'll be reaching for this album. Thrash metal is usually a little heavier than I prefer but I did enjoy listening to this.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 03 2022

Hall and Oates meets Queen meets the Beatles. I really enjoyed this entire album, easy listen with interesting melodies and the orchestral instrumentation is great.

Signing Off by UB40
Feb 04 2022

I think there were some songs on here that I liked but the album was so long I forgot about them before it was over. Way too long. Like, way way way too long. I wouldn't mind hearing a couple of these songs again but I'll never listen to this whole thing through again.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Feb 07 2022

It was a good album and I think listen to the whole thing instead of just standalone songs really helps the enjoyment.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Feb 08 2022

I was really jamming to this album. Probably going to check out more of their music

Feb 10 2022

It was fine. All in all it wasn't really for me and the songs all just blended together.

Hotel California by Eagles
Feb 11 2022

This album just starts out with greatness. Hotel California, New Kid in Town, and Life in the Fast Lane are some of my favorite Eagles songs. After that, you get a nice mix of classic Eagles sounds. Great album.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 14 2022

Nothing really stood out in this album. Felt like generic 90s music with nothing to set it apart from other 90s music.

Feb 15 2022

Ughhhhhhhhhhh. I don't think I'll ever understand they Coldplay appeal. I just don't think it's good much. It's boring and there is nothing special about it.

Feb 16 2022

Free Bird and Simple Man are fantastic songs. It was really enjoyable to hear other songs that I hadn't heard before.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Feb 17 2022

Turns out I know some Lout Reed songs. This was a really good album all around.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Feb 18 2022

It was fine. No need to listen to it again.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Feb 21 2022

I didn't enjoy any part of this album. Nothing about it interested me or made me want to keep listening to it or come back to it.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Feb 22 2022

A band that can sound better live than on the albums is a rare treat. Cheap Trick is one of those bands. Great songs but it was even better hearing them live.

Risque by CHIC
Feb 23 2022

I enjoyed about 3 minutes of good times but after that, there wasn't really much worth listening to.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Mar 01 2022

Good album. Nothing amazingly good but nothing bad. Right in the middle.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Mar 02 2022

It was pretty good background music for working. Nothing overly exciting but some fun beats and melodies in there.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Mar 03 2022

Not my style but it was enjoyable enough.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Mar 04 2022

Still not good. I don't understand the draw to Sonic Youth. Nothing worth listening to on this album

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Mar 07 2022

Wow, this one caught me off guard. I really enjoyed this entire album. Would listen to it again.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 08 2022

1-5 were great. Could have done without 6-9. Burn This Disco Out sounded like it could be on a Bruno Mars album, which is a great thing.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Mar 09 2022

Great vibes in this album. I've not listened to a ton of Steely Dan but really enjoyed this.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Mar 10 2022

It was fine. I'm not an Elvis fan but it wasn't a bad listen.

Medúlla by Björk
Mar 16 2022

I don't have access to the substances required to enjoy or understand this album.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Mar 17 2022

Very enjoyable listen. I haven't listened to a ton of Paul Simon but I've got no complaints about this album. Wouldn't mind hearing it again.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Mar 18 2022
Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Mar 22 2022

Holy long album Batman. Started at about 8:30 am and took me until 3:30 to get through it with interruptions. It was good but didn't need to be 2 hours long.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Mar 23 2022

I've heard worse albums but I didn't care for the constant dissonance and endless instrumentals.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Mar 24 2022

Pretty good album. Not something I'd come back to every day but it was cool to hear it and learn a bit about this band.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Mar 25 2022

This album was a jam!

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 28 2022

She had a nice voice but the music just wasn't that interesting. Not bad but not great either

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Mar 29 2022

Amazing album. I don't know if there is anything that could have been done to make it better.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Mar 30 2022

This is not at all my normal genre but I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought. Not something I'll listen to every day but it was a good album.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Mar 31 2022

Easy to listen to but not exciting to listen to.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Apr 01 2022

Not my usual genre but I enjoyed this one.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Apr 04 2022

This was a really good album, reminded me a lot of the Eagles. I'm a little upset I hadn't heard this album sooner.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 05 2022

Reminded me of Talking Heads but not quite as good. Still an enjoyable listen.

Apr 06 2022

I like the instrumentals and the drive most of the album has but honestly, the vocals take away from the songs to me. When he's not doing weird shit I like it but to me it takes away from what else is going on. I know they did a ton for the genre but it's not my favorite metal subgenre.

The Bends by Radiohead
Apr 07 2022

This was a great album. I liked it a lot more than the previous Radiohead we listened to.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Apr 08 2022

Every great band starts somewhere and in this case, Dave started it all here. Knowing Dave did this entire album himself really helps you understand the musician he is. It's not a perfect album but without this we wouldn't have all the Foo Fighters songs we have today.

All Directions by The Temptations
Apr 11 2022

It was good to hear some less popular Temptations songs but I think there is a reason they were less popular. Also, Papa was a rollin stone has no need to be almost 12 minutes long. Get over yourself. Very middle-of-the-road album for me.

Apr 12 2022

This was a weird one that I don't need to hear again. I wonder if see the movie would have changed my opinion but as a standalone album I didn't think it was very good.

Apr 14 2022

It reminded me of elevator music with a little extra flair added in. It was good background music but not something that needed active listening.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Apr 15 2022

Not on spotify

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Apr 19 2022

I listened to it but have no recollection of doing so.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Apr 20 2022

I'm sure if I liked country at all I could have some appreciation for this album but I just hate the twangy vocals and the songs we're very boring. The song tempos felt like he was trying to avoid a speeding ticket.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Apr 21 2022

This album left a lot to be desired for me. The drums were pretty much the same on all songs, not much variety there and the vocals aren't overly exciting either. Some interesting guitar parts but that was about it.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Apr 25 2022

This seems like a great album to listen to if I was chillaxing with a brew and some bud on a sunny day outside.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Apr 26 2022

It was fine. Nothing I disliked. Shout and Everybody wants to rule the world are the best songs on this album for sure.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Apr 27 2022

Amazing, nothing else needs to be said.

Mask by Bauhaus
Apr 28 2022

After the first 2 songs, I thought I'd enjoy this album some but it got so repetitive. There wasn't anything interesting in any of the songs.

Abraxas by Santana
Apr 29 2022

This was a great listen. Love Santana's guitar.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
May 02 2022

While there are some very offensive lyrics and ones that haven't aged super well, I still really appreciate his rhymes. Early Eminem will always hold a special place in my heart.

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 03 2022

This was a really good album. I haven't listened to a lot of White Stripes but really enjoyed the whole feel of this ablum.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
May 04 2022

Enjoyable album. The vocals were really nice but there wasn't much variety I felt between the songs. By the end it felt like a pretty one-note album but I still enjoyed it.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
May 05 2022

It was fine. Pretty generic sounds and wasn't really that entertaining. It reminded me of The Who a bit but not as good.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
May 06 2022

It wasn't bad but got repetitive really fast. I don't need to listen to it again. 2.5

OK Computer by Radiohead
May 10 2022

Back to unenjoyable Radiohead. Nothing really of note on this album other than I didn't care for it.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
May 11 2022

I don't think I had enough drugs in my system to enjoy this one. There was just a lot going on and in some songs and it was almost overwhelming. I'll stick to Band the Drum All Day as my fill for Todd Rundgren.

American Idiot by Green Day
May 12 2022

There isn't a bad song on this album. 57 minutes and 23 seconds of greatness.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
May 13 2022

Some parts of this album I enjoyed but other parts kinda went off the deep end. Overall it was a good album but not something I need to go back to.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
May 16 2022

Great album all around.

Ramones by Ramones
May 17 2022

The Ramones have a classic sound that's easily recognized. I think what saved this album was its length. There are a lot of similar-sounding songs on this album so if it were any longer it would have got too repetitive. All in all, it wasn't bad.

Close To You by Carpenters
May 18 2022

Nothing too complex but some nice harmonies. Not my cup of tea but enjoyable nonetheless

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
May 19 2022

Get over yourself. This isn't an album that needs to exist. Release it as 3 albums if you want that many songs. No reason to waste time on this.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
May 20 2022

I see no reason why I needed to hear this album before I died. In fact, I'm probably more upset that I heard it before I died. That's an hour I could have spent listening to something good.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
May 23 2022

I've never really got into The Beach Boys that much. There isn't a lot of variation between songs. Wouldn't It Be Nice, God Only Knows are classic songs and I liked Sloop John B. All in all it's a good album but there isn't enough variation to keep me interested for the entire album.

Woodface by Crowded House
May 24 2022

It was fine but wasn't very memorable.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
May 25 2022

Ace of Spades is a good song but I didn't really love any others. Not bad but I don't need to hear it again.

Drunk by Thundercat
May 26 2022

Wow, this was extremely underwhelming. I've heard of Thundercat a lot but had never listened to any of his solo work. This album convinced me I've been missing nothing. I was actually bored listening to this album.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
May 27 2022

It was fine. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is good for a bit but christ it's long.

May 30 2022

Classic 90s grunge sound. Wasn't my favorite but still an enjoyable listen.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
May 31 2022

A little too folky/country for my taste but I still enjoyed listening to it.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jun 01 2022

What in the name of hard drugs did I just listen to? Another album I'm not sure why I needed to hear. EXPLAIN WHY THIS ALBUM IS IMPORTANT TO ME!

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 02 2022

This was an enjoyable listen.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jun 03 2022

Epic is a great song and I enjoyed the cover of War Pigs. Didn't really need any of the rest of it but it wasn't bad.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jun 06 2022

You've got to be in the right mood for this album but this came up on a day that I was in that mood. Great album. Love the intensity of it.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jun 07 2022

Other than being way too long I actually did enjoy this album. I'll probably never go back to it but it was good background music while working.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jun 09 2022

I liked all the parts where there was no singing. I couldn't stand the guys voice but really enjoyed the instrumentals.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jun 10 2022

Easy listen. Nothing that really stood out to me but it was good relaxing background music

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jun 13 2022

I was enjoying it for the first few songs but by the end, I felt like I was listening to the same song over and over again. 3.5.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jun 14 2022

It was good. Sounded like other Black Sabbath which isn't my favorite but still a good listen.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jun 15 2022

Meh, it was fine. A little too much country vibe for my enjoyment and I didn't really find it that interesting.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Jun 16 2022

It was a relaxing album to listen to. Not my go-to but still enjoyable. 2.5 stars but I'll round up.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jun 17 2022

Love the instrumentals but the vocals get tiring after a while. 5/5 for instrumentals but Ozzy's vocals really don't do it for me.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jun 20 2022

I really enjoyed this one. I'll be the first to say I think the Beatles can be overrated but this was a fun listen.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jun 21 2022

It was fine. I didn't realize when it was over so it wasn't exciting enough to keep my attention.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jun 22 2022

Bang a Gong is a great song. The rest was enjoyable but not something I'll go back to.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Jun 23 2022

Pretty repetitive but still a fun listen.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jun 24 2022

Wow. Wow, wow, wow! I've heard the popular songs off this album but I've never listened to the entire thing and holy shit was I missing out. Amazing album all around. I loved every second of it and I'm a bit sad I'll never get to experience that first listen again.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jun 28 2022

Black Dog and Stairway are obviously amazing songs but this entire album keeps pace with them. I have no criticisms. 10 out of 5 stars.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jun 29 2022

It was fine. Not a fan of the vocals for most of it which really overwhelmed some of the songs.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Jun 30 2022

This album started off pretty good. I did enjoy the first 2 songs and then it kinda went off the rails. If... was way just weird and then it was downhill from there until the last song. I did enjoy parts of that but then he had to go and make the lyrics weird. Not something I need to come back to and not one I feel like I needed to listen to. Nothing from The Divine Comedy belongs on this list and nobody can convince me otherwise.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jul 04 2022

TIL Dire Straits is from the 70s. Always thought they were 90s for some reason. Either way I really enjoyed this album. Sultans of Swing has always been a song I liked but the rest of the album had the same feel which I enjoyed.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 05 2022

I really enjoyed most of this album. Come on Eileen is a classic but the rest of this album supported that song really well.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jul 06 2022

It was fine. School's Out is obviously well known but a pretty dull song IMO. Nothing really bad about it but nothing to write home about. 2.5 stars

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 07 2022

I must have missed something listening through this. It wasn't bad but nothing screamed out that this should be on any all time list. Seemed like an 80s synth-pop album to me.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Jul 08 2022

This album got erased from my memory as soon as I listened to it. I think it just blended into the background so much and I really don't have anything negative or positive to say about it. It exists, I listened to it. Middle of the road.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jul 11 2022

It was fun to hear some early 90s west coast hip hop. Not my usual genre but the beats were fucky AF. 3.5 stars but I'll round up to 4.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 12 2022

It was fine. Not as bad as some of the other Bowie albums. Still just don't understand the hype.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jul 13 2022

All I can think of is Toy Story when I hear Randy Newman. Interesting political commentary throughout but overall there wasn't much variety in the songs. Still a decent listen but nothing I'd recommend.

More Specials by The Specials
Jul 14 2022

This was a pretty fun listen. It was pretty flat all around when compared to later Ska music. Sounded like something you'd hear in a lobby or grocery store. Not something I'll come back to but enjoyable enough. 3 stars.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 18 2022
Jul 19 2022

His whiny voice just ruins it for me. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me and I can't get past it to hear anything else. What did he use to counter the whiny voice? A high-pitched harmonica that was even more ear piercing. Not for me.

Jul 20 2022

Experimental music isn't meant to be listened to sober IMO. Thus, listening to this in the AM wasn't a good experience. Lot's of sounds with not much substance. Before I realized I wasn't really paying attention anymore it was over. I guess if you need some sounds in the background this could be for you.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 21 2022

Love Bad Moon Rising. The rest of the album was decent but nothing out of this world. Still enjoyable. 3.5

Forever Changes by Love
Jul 22 2022

Easy to listen to but not overly exciting.

Jul 25 2022

I've listened to very little 2Pac and really enjoyed this. Loved the feel and groove of it.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jul 26 2022

This was a really interesting album. Loved the feel and flow of the album. 4 stars

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jul 29 2022

1001 vibratos to listen to before you die. The vibrato was so distracting I didn't get much else out of this album. The background music was nice but overpowered by VIBRATOOOOOOOOO.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Aug 01 2022

I don't think I liked this album but I also didn't dislike it? Vocally it was very flat, with not much variation between songs. There were some interesting lyrics but I don't think I'll ever listen to any of these songs again. 2 stars

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

Great album all around. The complexities of some of these songs is really impressive to listen to. Would definitely come back to this. 4.5 stars.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Aug 05 2022

California Dreaming is a great song but the rest kinda just blend together. Not my cup of tea but still enjoyable to listen to. 3.5 but not good enough to round to 4.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Aug 08 2022

This was a fun one. I really enjoyed this. Not my usual genre but great listen top to bottom.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Aug 09 2022

Great blues album. It was really fun to hear this as a live performance as well.

Microshift by Hookworms
Aug 10 2022

I'm not sure what about this album warranted being on this list. It wasn't a bad album but I don't think there was anything groundbreaking in it. It was nice to have on while working though.

1999 by Prince
Aug 12 2022

Banger, Banger, Banger, Meh, Meh, Meh, Meh, Meh, Meh, Meh, Meh.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Aug 15 2022

About as in the middle as you can get. I enjoy her voice and she's fun to listen to but I think there were too many fluff songs on here. Maybe if some of the songs hadn't been included I would have enjoyed it as a whole more.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Aug 16 2022

All in all a pretty good album. A little slower at times but it was enjoyable.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Aug 17 2022

It wasn't good and it wasn't bad, it just was.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Aug 18 2022

After Blister In The Sun I was just annoyed by the vocals. I couldn't take a full album of that. Really thought I'd enjoy this more but it just didn't do it for me.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Aug 22 2022

It was fine. Some songs had a good groove but not my cup of tea.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Aug 24 2022

Meh, nothing of note other than it was nice and short.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Aug 25 2022

Really wish we had half stars. I enjoyed this but not quiet 4 starts for me. I've not listened to much Aerosmith beyond the hits so this was fun to listen to. 3.5 Stars.

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

I'm still waiting for the "Oh that's why everyone loves them" moment for me with The Beach Boys but this wasn't it. Every song sounds the same to me and I find myself bored very quickly.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Aug 29 2022

I didn't enjoy this. Songs sounded too similar and I didn't like the vocals.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Aug 30 2022

He has a very easy to listen to voice and the music really complimented that.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Aug 31 2022

This caught me off guard, I really enjoyed this. Unique instrumentals and his voice were almost eerie at points, which I really liked. 3.5 stars.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Sep 01 2022

This was very different. I actually thought it was pretty interesting how things were explained. Enjoyable listen from an educational standpoint.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Sep 05 2022

Wow! Wow wow wow. That's all I can think to say right now. Amazing album. Loved the vocals and feel of the entire thing. I will be coming back to this.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Sep 07 2022

This was a fun swing/jazz album! Brought be back to my high school jazz band days.

Fragile by Yes
Sep 08 2022

This was a fun listen. The instrumentals were really enjoyable and I liked the variety that came throughout the entire album. I felt like I never knew what was coming next.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Sep 09 2022

There wasn't anything interesting about this. It was just noise to me.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

The Queen Is Dead and so is this album. I would have been more entertained looking at a dead queen than listening to this.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Sep 13 2022

While this was a good album I don't think it lived up to the other Zeppelin albums we've had. I still really enjoyed it though.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Sep 14 2022

She has such a unique enjoyable voice. I wish there were so more up-tempo songs on the album though. It was putting me to sleep by the end with slow song after slow song. Still a good album but needed more variety IMO.

Repeater by Fugazi
Sep 15 2022

Nah, not for me. I'm a fan of post-hardcode but the more modern take on the genre. I can appreciate what was needed to get where we are but I don't need to listen to this again.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Sep 16 2022

It was fine. You can hear where some later heavier bands got some influence from this new style which was cool. Maybe if I heard this in 1968 I would have had my mind blown but it just felt like a more barebones version of newer metal and heavy rock.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Sep 19 2022

What a terrible voice. I have no desire to ever hear Tom Waits "sing" again. The poor man needed a Ricola or something. Hard pass.

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 20 2022

I had a little more hope for this album. It was good but the rest of the album didn't live up to It's the end of the world as we know it. Still a good listen and I do enjoy their sound but the rest of the songs were just alright.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Sep 21 2022

This album is just a shitty cover band. What a waste of and hour.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Sep 22 2022

This was good and Ella Fitzgerald has a great voice but a little more variety would have made this album better. Still a good listen.

Sea Change by Beck
Sep 23 2022

I've not heard much Beck other than the really popular songs. It was a pretty chill relaxing album. Not something I'll come back to but still enjoyable. I wouldn't mind this as background music in other settings.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Sep 26 2022

Good song writing but not overly catchy and nothing I'll come running back to. I enjoy Simon and Garfunkel but this album was on the boring side for me. Still a good listen.

Protection by Massive Attack
Sep 27 2022

Background music. It was fine for that but I don't need to listen to this again. 2 stars

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Sep 28 2022

It wasn't bad for a country rock album. But how was this different from any other 80/90s country rock album or some guy playing at a random state fair? This didn't belong on this list. 2.5 but I'm rounding down.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 30 2022

I've never listened to this album straight through and doing so was a great experience. I wish a world existed where could have seen what Kurt could have made while still having Foo Fighters. I suppose I should be happy with what Kurt gave us and his influence is still present in so many good bands today.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Oct 03 2022

I was excited to see this come up as I haven't listened to The Black Keys much. For me, this album didn't live up to the hype. Songs started to blend together and I was just waiting for it to be over by the end.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Oct 04 2022

I might have enjoyed this live if I was in prison with nothing else to listen to. This had the opposite impact for me, felt like I was in prison and couldn't escape.

The Band by The Band
Oct 05 2022

Another good background album. Enjoyable but nothing jumped out at me though.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Oct 06 2022

This was a fun album. Not my usual genre but I really liked the feel of the album and was entertained the whole way through.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Oct 07 2022

I appreciate what The Rolling Stones has done for music and their influence on others, but this was a middle-of-the-road album for me.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 10 2022

This one was weird for me. I tend to think I like Alice In Chains but I think what I learned is like them in small doses. Individual songs I liked but as a whole, I was sick of them by the end. It was still a good album but the vocals started to become a drag by the end.

Tommy by The Who
Oct 11 2022

Pinball Wizard is obviously the high point of this album but I liked the whole flow of the album. I'd enjoy listening to this all the way through again. It was good but not quite 4 stars good.

Disintegration by The Cure
Oct 12 2022

This was about 30 minutes too long the same sounding songs. There wasn't enough variety in it to keep my interest. That said, it wasn't bad so I'll give it 3 stars

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Oct 13 2022

I found the title track but couldn't find the album. The song was fine.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Oct 14 2022

Good rock feel for this album. I enjoyed the listen but it's not something I'll come back to. Nothing really stood out that made this more unique from other albums around the same time.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Oct 19 2022

Overall I enjoyed this. Classic sounds and good harmonies. Went off the rails a few times but I didn't mind it.

Oct 20 2022

Classic 90s sound. It was fine overall. There is a reason 2 of these songs we move famous than the others.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Oct 21 2022

I was grooving to this entire album. Loved the organ. Very enjoyable listen.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Oct 24 2022

If this could have kept up with Sympathy for the devil this would have been much more highly rated for me. Unfortunately, after a great starting song, it sort of faded into the background for me.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Oct 25 2022

What an awesome voice. Not all songs were available but the ones that were I really enjoyed. 3.5 but rounds up to 4.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Oct 26 2022

Pretty boring vocals that faded into background music quickly. No business on this list.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 27 2022

I enjoyed this quite a bit. The bass lines were awesome and I found myself just grooving while working. I will admit, I wasn't listening that attentively but it was enjoyable to have on while working.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 28 2022

This was a good album. I've not listened to much of Kendrick Lamar other than the most popular songs. I could have done with a few less N words but other than that I did enjoy the listen.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Oct 31 2022

This was a fantastic album. What a great voice and great songwriting. I don't know how this album could have been better so I've got to give it the coveted 5 stars.

Be by Common
Nov 01 2022

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I liked the variety and the overall feel of the album.

90 by 808 State
Nov 02 2022

40 minutes of sounds. I'm not sure if this was innovative for the time and that's why it's included here but there wasn't really anything that stood out about this album. It wasn't bad but wasn't good.

The Score by Fugees
Nov 03 2022

I enjoyed this a lot. Good rhymes and flow to the album.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Nov 04 2022

I can appreciate how this album influenced other bands but as a standalone album, I didn't think it was that great. If this was my first experience with punk I think I would have written off the genre altogether.

Pink Flag by Wire
Nov 08 2022

YELLING AND LOUD NOISES!!!!!!

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Nov 09 2022

The instruments didn't really stand out and the roof of the mouth peanut butter vocals really didn't do it for me.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Nov 10 2022

This was a top-tier album that 100% belonged on this list. I enjoyed this from top to bottom. I'll be coming back to this!

OK by Talvin Singh
Nov 11 2022

This for sure won't be in my normal rotation but I really enjoyed this. The mix of Indian and electronic was a really interesting combo to listen to. Great background music for work.

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 14 2022

This was pretty middle-of-the-road for me. It wasn't bad but I'm not sure what situation I'd want to listen to this album again. There were parts that I really enjoyed the feel but as a whole, it was just kinda there.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Nov 16 2022

This was pretty good background music. Can't say it really drew me in as I wasn't paying that much attention but as background, it was pretty good. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone though and don't really see a reason to listen to it again.

Nov 17 2022

If the rest of the album could have been half as good as Take on Me we would have easily had a 4-star album. Unfortunately, it falls off pretty hard after the first song.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Nov 18 2022

This was a unique album that I enjoyed listening to. Lots of variety and very much not something I'd normally listen to but I'm glad I did

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Nov 21 2022

This had a fun bluesy feel to it but ultimately it wasn't overly exciting. Relaxing listen but nothing groundbreaking.

Nov 22 2022

I guess for a first album it was fine but this is way below the quality I expect from Pink Floyd. I have no desire to listen to this album again.

Kala by M.I.A.
Nov 23 2022

If I had to choose between listening to this full album again or getting waterboarded for 47 minutes and 38 seconds I'd choose the latter. Paper Planes was the only song saving this from 1 star.

Da Capo by Love
Nov 24 2022

I was actually a fan of this album. Certainly not one of the best albums for the 60s but it was a fun listen.

1977 by Ash
Nov 25 2022

The instrumentals were good but the vocals left a lot to be desired. It's like the wanted the 90s sound but as flat and unexciting as possible. I little disappointed in that since I feel like with better vocals this could have been a great album.

Fun House by The Stooges
Nov 28 2022

Much better than the first The Stooges album. This had some good late 60s early 70s sounds to it that were enjoyable.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Nov 29 2022

This album exists. That's about all I have to say about it.

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 30 2022

Pretty middle of the road but I do enjoy the laid-back feel of Steely Dan. Great for a nice sunny day with a cocktail on the patio

Sister by Sonic Youth
Dec 02 2022

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY PEOPLE LIKE SONIC YOUTH!!!! It's just annoying sounds that make me angry that I'm wasting my time listening to it.

Dec 05 2022

Ya'll got any of that chest voice? Instrumentally I like the feel of it but I was completely over the falsetto by about the 3rd song. The parts with out vocals were great, but the falsetto just becomes too much. I'm really torn on this rating because as much as the vocals annoyed me, I still really enjoyed the overall feel of the album.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Dec 06 2022

Did people know Joni Mitchell was so good!? I can't say I've listened to much or any Joni Mitchell before but this album was great. Top to bottom, I loved it all.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Dec 07 2022

I love Paul Simon's voice and musical style. This is just an enjoyable album from start to end.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Dec 08 2022

Fun reggae vibes. I don't think there was anything that really jumped out at me other than the fact that we're still fighting this stupid battle of legalizing a plant.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Dec 09 2022

I learned "We're going to be friends" is a white stripes song. Other than that it was standard White Stripes. Not bad but not amazing.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Dec 12 2022

This album exists. There isn't much else to say about it.

Parklife by Blur
Dec 13 2022

Snoozefest

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Dec 14 2022

I thought I would like this much less than I actually did. Was it an album I'll come back to? No, but I didn't hate it.

Dec 15 2022

This was a pretty relaxing album to listen to. It faded into the background pretty quick for me but I did enjoy it. Wasn't enough to hold my full attention but still a good listen.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 16 2022

I really enjoyed this album. Relaxing to listen to and I just really enjoy Simon & Garfunkel's sound

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Dec 19 2022

This was a surprising gem for me. Knowing nothing of this band I really enjoyed this. It gave me strong movie score vibes.

Vespertine by Björk
Dec 20 2022

There were portions of songs that had an interesting sound and feel to them but overall I found this album pretty boring and one note. No song stood out more than the others.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Dec 21 2022

This was way too boring and way too long. There is no reason for this to be on this list and the listen counts agree with me.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Dec 22 2022

I can respect what Elvis did for music but his voice just doesn't do it for me. It just feels flat and boring.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Dec 23 2022

I feel like this album had some good commentary in it but it wasn't delivered as well as other similar type albums. Didn't really hold my attention and it sounded like canned background beats.

Synchronicity by The Police
Dec 26 2022

I enjoy The Police every now and then. By then end of the album, I was a bit sick of the vocals though. Not enough to hate it but I can only handle so much Sting. Still a good listen though.

Dookie by Green Day
Dec 27 2022

I absolutely love this album. There isn't a song I don't like on here. There isn't any fluff in here, it's just great song after great song.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 30 2022

There were parts of this album I loved and parts I hated. I don't know if I've been this polarized on a single album before. The instrumentals in Sex Machine and My Brain were rocking but some of the vocals were repulsive. I guess 3 stars since that's right in the middle of Love and Hate.

Jan 02 2023

It was good. The 60s rock/pop sound does get boring/repetitive to me after a few songs but as far as that goes, this album was better than others. 3 stars.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 03 2023

This was a pretty enjoyable album. I found myself just sitting back and jamming along with this.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 04 2023

This was a fantastic album. I've heard a few Carole King songs but never a full album straight through. What a great experience.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jan 05 2023

There were sounds. So I guess that constitutes an album.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jan 06 2023

This was a good hip-hop album. Good social commentary mixed with exciting and fun samples/beats

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 09 2023

Meh, it was fine. I guess 3 stars, it wasn't 2 stars bad I don't think..?

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jan 10 2023

There arent many albums I can point to that really set off my love for music but this is one of them. There probably isn't an album I've listened to more in my life than this. RIP Chester and thanks for everything you did for me and music as a whole.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jan 11 2023

I actually enjoyed this more than I thought. I was caught off guard a bit until I read what the album was. Being a rock cover of a piano suite it worked much better than it should have.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jan 13 2023

Wow, this was a boring album. If this was all I had heard of Madonna, I would have said she wasn't good at all. Just not good.

Jan 16 2023

What a fantastic album. I've heard the big songs but this is my first listen straight through. The album started very strong but didn't keep that up the entire time. It wasn't bad by any means but not as good as the first 4 songs until Saturday Night's Alright. This is a very high 4 if not a 5.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 17 2023

I'm a bit surprised by how much I didn't enjoy this. Everything felt really flat and there wasn't much variety from song to song. Wouldn't recommend this album to anyone

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 18 2023

Fun listen to Dr. Dre's first album. I don't relate to the album but I can still enjoy it and appreciate it's influence. I always love a good Snoop Dogg appearance anywhere I can find it.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jan 19 2023

Meh, Scooby Snacks was kinda fun but that's about it.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Jan 20 2023

Good 60s sounds. I enjoyed the vocals but ended up zoning out through the last part. Wasn't amazing but I wouldn't mind hearing it again

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 23 2023

Ugh, I just cant stand Billy Corgan for more than 1 song in a row. 2 hours of him singing was an extremely painful experience. I do like the instrumental but his voice just ruins it.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jan 24 2023

It was fine but a lot of it felt pretty flat to me. Not sure if it was an intended sound or just that it hasn't been remastered but that took away from it for me. 2.5 but I'll give it a 3

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jan 25 2023

Not my usual go to but this was a fun album/artist to find and I enjoyed it a lot!

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Jan 26 2023

What a fun album. Love the whole thing!

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jan 27 2023

What a great blues album. Loved the whole thing!

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 30 2023

Good 90s vibe. I woudn't say it would be a top 90s album in my book but was enjoyable.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jan 31 2023

Why do people like Depeche Mode? The vocals are painfully boring and the instrumentals are typically pretty flat and boring. I can't understand the appeal.

Who's Next by The Who
Feb 01 2023

Amazing album. Not a single critique from me. It's fantastic front to back.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Feb 02 2023

It's good. It's the Beatles. I respect what they did for music but I get bored before the albums are done. I'm just not really a huge Beatles fan I think is what it comes down to.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Feb 03 2023

The Number Of The Beast, Run to the Hills and Hallowed Be Thy Name were all great. The rest weren't quite as good but still enjoyable.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Feb 06 2023

This album exists. That's about all I have to say about it. Not bad, not good. Just there

Feb 07 2023

This is a really high 3, almost a 4. I really enjoyed the old school hip-hop feel of the album and it portrayed it's message well without jamming it down your throat. It would have been a 4 if there was a bit more variety between the songs as they all started to blend to get a bit after an hour. I still very much enjoyed it.

Infected by The The
Feb 08 2023

The The seem to have put as much creativity into their music as their name. Generic 80s sounds. No standouts here. Wasn't bad but I didn't need to hear this album.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Feb 09 2023

What am I missing? Most Radiohead that I hear I just ask myself "Why does this band exist?" This album would be best paired with watching grass grow.

Feb 10 2023

Love the flow and lyrics of Ice T. From top to bottom it was a great Hip-Hop album pointing out problems in society. It's upsetting hearing how much of that is still true today. Overall I did enjoy this album.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Feb 14 2023

Holy shit this was boring. I wouldn't listen to this album again if I got paid to do so. Amnesiac, Noun 'a person experiencing a partial or total loss of memory' Sign me up for this to remove this album from my memory.

The Cars by The Cars
Feb 15 2023

If the album could have kept with the quality the first 3 songs had it would have been 4 stars. Just What I Needed is great but it tripped on it's face and never got back up after that. Still a good album but it could have been better.

Feb 16 2023

This is hard to review. Lana's voice is great but the songs started to blend together a bit. I think some more variety would have really helped the melancholy vocal style feel more dramatic if it wasn't in every song. Still a good listen but not something I will come back to.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Feb 17 2023

Pros: The album was under 35 minutes Cons: Everything else about this album

S&M by Metallica
Feb 21 2023

This was a really fun listen for me. Loved hearing the live recording. That said, being 2+ hours I don't see myself coming back to it. I'll just listen to the studio versions of the songs.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Feb 22 2023

This was a really relaxing album. I was able to just have it in the background while concentrating on other things and I felt like it worked well. Not a normal listen for me but I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Feb 24 2023

Smooth relaxing vocals with good musical accompaniment. Some songs started to blend together but it was an enjoyable listen.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Feb 28 2023

This was a pretty boring album. Nothing stood out between songs. Vocals sounded good but didn't keep my attention.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Mar 01 2023

This album would be the same experience with my speakers muted or not.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Mar 03 2023

PJ Harvey is lost on me. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel from this album but if annoyance is it, I guess it's successful.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Mar 06 2023

What a way to start a day. At least it can only get better

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Mar 08 2023

Yuck

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Mar 10 2023

A fitting title would be "An hour of sound". At least that'd give you the expectation that it is just sounds and not really music..

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Mar 13 2023

It was fine. His vocal range is pretty boring but hearing the live banter made it more entertaining for sure. Not something I'll listen to again

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Mar 14 2023

Clint Eastwood is great but the rest of this album doesn't live up to what I enjoy about Gorillaz.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Mar 15 2023

This was fun but longer than it needed to be. Some of it sounded like hotel lobby music.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Mar 16 2023

Holy Harmonies Batman! This is far from a genre I typically enjoy but the musicality of this album cannot be denied. Masters of their craft and there's nothing else to do but sit back and enjoy.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Mar 17 2023

Good pop synth sound. I didn't listen to the french version, ain't nobody got time for a double album, but the first side was a fun listen.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 20 2023

This sounded undeveloped and wasn't very entertaining. Not sure why this needed to be on the list.

Guero by Beck
Mar 21 2023

Like the previous Beck album, this was a decent listen but not something I need to hear again.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Mar 22 2023

It was fine. Sounded pretty juvenile with the talks about blasting in the face and swearing that adds nothing to the music.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 23 2023

Enjoyable and relaxing

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Mar 24 2023

Did we generalize all of the late 80s/early 90s female pop music into a single album but remove all the exciting parts? Yes, yes we did with this snoozefest. Nothing worth listening to on this.

Technique by New Order
Mar 27 2023

Very middle of the road.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 28 2023

What a fun album! Great musicality all around.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 29 2023

This was a really good album but overall I don't think the entire album lived up to the level of Immigrant Song. While I enjoyed it the middle section of the album started to blend together a bit. Out on the Tiles was a fun song in the middle though. All in all it was a very good album but needed a few more really good songs to be a true 5 star.

Mar 30 2023

This was a pretty good punk album. I'm not entirely sure why this needed a place on this list as nothing really stood out to me much. Perhaps it was ahead of it's time, who knows?

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Mar 31 2023

I didn't care for this. It was boring and the vocals really didn't sound all that good. Every song was the same.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Apr 03 2023

This was a great listen. Really good background music and made me feel like I was relaxing in an old jazz club.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Apr 04 2023

Solid album. Each song held up with the others and they meshed together well. I wouldn't listen to this straight through again but it was still very enjoyable.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Apr 05 2023

Relaxing with a good feel. Nothing really stood out from other albums in the same time period.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 06 2023

I try not to say albums suck because I typically believe there is something in the music for someone but this album sucked. There wasn't anything good musically about it and it was just dissonant annoying sounds for over 30 minutes

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Apr 07 2023

This was a fun album. I really liked the Iron Man cover, very unique.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 10 2023

When a debut album is better than any album other bands release you know the band is good. This was about as good as you can get for a debut album.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Apr 11 2023

Good voice but I got really sick of the style by the end. I think it's just a personal music preference that I don't enjoy it.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Apr 13 2023

While really long this was a very good album with a lot of variety. I enjoyed every song on it but I feel as though this would have been better as separate albums instead of a 2 hour long album.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Apr 14 2023

Generic 90s hip-hop sound. Nothing really stood out and I was pretty bored listening to this album.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 17 2023

Meh, nothing really stood out here for me.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Apr 18 2023

Miles Davis is great. Solid album and a fantastic listen

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Apr 19 2023

Falsetto R&B gets really old after a few songs in a row. There wasn't enough variation in this album to keep my interest.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Apr 21 2023

This was a weird album. I'm not sure why it needed to be included on this list. The very small number of plays this album has tells me it hasn't reached many people. I don't think they are losing out much by not hearing this.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 24 2023

I was excited with R.E.M. came up but this album was a bit underwhelming for me. It doesn't really stand up to other R.E.M. music IMO. It wasn't bad, but left some to be desired.

Apr 25 2023

It gave me christian rock vibes. Like Switchfoot but more boring. Wasn't for me.

Apr 26 2023

It wasn't as bad as previous Brian Eno but I still don't do enough drugs to enjoy this.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Apr 27 2023

I couldn't get through it. This album was disgusting. You can be yourself Kate Bush but I don't want any part of it.

Kenya by Machito
Apr 28 2023

This was some top-tier Latin jazz. Every song was truly enjoyable.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
May 01 2023

It's Bruce. You know you're getting the peanut butter on the roof of your mouth vocals and similar sounding instrumentals.

May 02 2023

Parts of this album gave me Weezer vibes but not as good. It wasn't a bad album but it was very middle of the road.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
May 03 2023

Unoffensive and middle of the road 90s sound.

Suicide by Suicide
May 04 2023

You only need to listen to 20 seconds of a song at that gives you the sound for the entire song. Waste of time to listen to. It doesn't belong on this list at all.

Crazysexycool by TLC
May 05 2023

They are an iconic female R&B group and as far as the genre goes this is a very good album. That said, I was pretty bored of a lot of the same sound by the end. Still a good listen and Waterfalls is great.

D by White Denim
May 08 2023

I was shocked to learn this was a 2011 album. I thought this was straight out of the psychedelic rock era. Great songs and under 40 minutes makes for a great album.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
May 09 2023

This was a fun listen. Stevie just has a way with the grooves that is pretty unmatched.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
May 10 2023

Love the early 90s hip-hop sound. Public Enemy has such an iconic sound and the mix of hip-hop backgrounds and guitar is great.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
May 11 2023

This was a pretty fun electronic album. Not all songs were available but I was dancing along while listening. Some songs needed a bit more variety but I think that's part of the genre. All in all, it was a good album but nothing I would recommend so anyone.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
May 12 2023

This album is not meant for the sober mind. Pretty similar-sounding songs throughout and not much really stuck out other than Sunshine Of Your Love.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
May 15 2023

I don't think I realized the first song ended before the album was over. Snoozefest for sure with no variety at all.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
May 16 2023

Relaxing to listen to. Nothing over the top but a good voice.

Django Django by Django Django
May 17 2023

This was a weird album. It wasn't bad and I'll give it credit for uniqueness. I won't come back to this though

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
May 18 2023

I can't really put into words why I didn't like this but something was just off about the album.

May 19 2023

I do enjoy jazz but this one was a bit off the rails at times for me. Impressive musicians but the compositions as a whole were ab it to crazy for my taste.

Play by Moby
May 22 2023

The parts I enjoyed were because they were other songs. There were some good beats but the album was way too long and didn't do it for me.

Queen II by Queen
May 23 2023

An entire album of Queen songs I have never heard and they are all great. What an awesome album!

2112 by Rush
May 24 2023

Fantastic album. Rush has such a distinct sound and this was a great cohesive album.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
May 25 2023

What a weird but also surprisingly good album. There was a lot of variety which sometimes turns me off to an album but these songs all seemed to work well together.

Achtung Baby by U2
May 26 2023

I don't enjoy U2. The vocals, while iconic just don't sound good to me.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
May 30 2023

Is it vulgar? Yes. Does that make me like it any less? No, no it doesn't. Love the early 90s west coast hip hop and Snoops flow is so fun to listen to.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
May 31 2023

This was really cool to listen to. Not something I would ever thing to check out but I'm really glad this was on the list.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jun 01 2023

This was a good album but was simply too long. I thought I was on the last song and checked and there were still 4 songs left.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Jun 02 2023

This wasn't enjoyable to listen to. Too long and I didn't care for the singer

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 05 2023

This album was good. It was too long though. I was worried at first I was getting over an hour of disco so it was a relief that it wasn't disco.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jun 07 2023

The live album was fun to listen to. Good jazz vibes and enjoyable vocals

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jun 08 2023

It's Bob Dylan's whiney voice. You know what you're getting. I really wish his voice wasn't like it is. I just tune out the lyrics because I don't enjoy the vocal styles and I think that makes me miss out on the lyrics a lot. Musically it's a very good album.

Atomizer by Big Black
Jun 09 2023

Terrible

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jun 12 2023

Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate this album. Good harmonies and song variations that kept it interesting.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jun 13 2023

Classic smooth Marvin Gaye vocals are always enjoyable to hear.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Jun 14 2023

Good beats but it felt really unpolished. Ladies First was the highlight for sure. It felt like a more complete song than others on the album.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 15 2023

If you're only going to listen to 1 Michael Jackson album this would have to be my recommendation. So many good songs on this 9 track album.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jun 16 2023

This album didn't keep my attention. Before I knew it the album was over and I didn't really remember much of it because my brain just tuned it out for an hour.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Jun 19 2023

I'm not even sure what I listened to but this was an interesting and fun album. I'm usually turned off by albums that have too much variety but this one did it right. 3.5

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 20 2023

This was a weird one but in a good way I think. I'm still not sure exactly what I listened to but I didn't hate it. I won't come back to it but I'm glad I heard it.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jun 21 2023

I'm not sure if this inspired other artists and that's why it was included on the list or what. It was fine but nothing in here really stood out to me to make this a must listen album.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jun 22 2023

Instrumentals were good but I didn't like the vocals. The didn't add much and were often more distracting that impactful to the songs. Still wasn't a bad album but nothing outstanding here in my opinion.

Jun 23 2023

Unique and funky! This was a fun listen with some good beats/vibes.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 26 2023

Classic Duran Duran synth sounds. Good songs and a nice concise album where all songs brought something to the table.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 27 2023

Sounds like the vocal tracks and 'instrumentals', if you can call them that, we're recorded separately and then they just put it together and didn't listen to it. This album is a war crime.

xx by The xx
Jun 29 2023

This was pretty good background music.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jun 30 2023

Didn't do it for me personally.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jul 03 2023

It was a very different-sounding punk album for sure. I did enjoy the listen through but don't need to come back to it.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jul 04 2023

I tried, I really did, to get through this album but there was just no way that was happening. This was the musical representation of a meth head with a knife running straight at you. The only thing to do is run away as fast as you can.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 06 2023

I get what he was going for with the sound and topics of this album but the music just didn't pull me in. I was longing for each song to end.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Jul 07 2023

I wanted to like this because the idea they were going for is cool. The rap/rock combo is fun but none of the songs really did it well. Good idea, not well executed.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jul 10 2023

Great feel to this full album. Enjoyable and relaxing. Roll me a joint, put this on and I'll be in a great place.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jul 11 2023

Nice voice but I felt like I was in a chain shopping center or mall.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jul 12 2023

This was a great album. Stevie has some great hits but the songs I hadn't heard before were also very enjoyable.

Jul 13 2023

Freedom! '90 was great but the rest didn't really live up to that song. The rest was full of good vocals and instrumentals but really wasn't for me. Still enjoyable though.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jul 14 2023

This is for sure one of the top albums from this era of hard rock. Top Tier

Homework by Daft Punk
Jul 17 2023

This was some good background work music but it isn't the Daft Punk music I truly enjoy.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jul 18 2023

I'm glad I didn't live in an era where this was good or groundbreaking music. Pretty boring album that I have no desire to listen to again.

Jul 19 2023

I enjoyed this more than other Beatles music, to be honest. I usually find some of their more popular songs boring by today's standards. While I am still not a huge Beatles fan this did help me appreciate them more.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 20 2023

The album cover was the best part of this album. It wasn't bad but can someone please explain to me how this was something I needed to hear?

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jul 21 2023

Kings of Leon has some good songs but none of them were on this album.

Soul Mining by The The
Jul 24 2023

100% background music album. Nothing stood out enough to make me want to actually listen.
