Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 02 2022

Overall pretty good, but ya know, it's Elvis 😬 👍

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jul 03 2022

Solid metal. AC/DC meets motorhead, with fire vocals and soloing. Campy fun 👍

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jul 04 2022

It's alright, seems like Mould was keeping up with the Pixies on a lot of these tracks. Can't complain

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jul 05 2022

Excellent concert, great stuff :)

Sound Affects by The Jam
Jul 06 2022

Very dang cool Brazilian psych-y album. Short and sweet too 👍

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jul 08 2022

Pretty dang solid 90s sonic youth

Jul 09 2022

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jul 10 2022

So dang good, guitar is so tasty 🤤

Jul 11 2022

Definitely grating, mark e smith is not a beautiful singer. Good ideas here tho, and can be exciting. Wish the album on Spotify wasn't full of extras 🤷

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jul 12 2022

It's ok, not much variety in lyrics/music. Performances are good. Prefer some of the other 50s stuff

Jul 13 2022

Some dated parts, but I'm a sucker for new wave. Quite good for the most part

Repeater by Fugazi
Jul 15 2022

Flows incredibly. Absolutely essential

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jul 16 2022

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jul 17 2022

Very good pop album actually, definitely see what Destroyer was going for 👍

Back In Black by AC/DC

It's an AC/DC album. Not bad, some great moments, very samey 🤷

Jul 26 2022

Tasty tasty guitar and solos. Classic rock w 👍

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jul 27 2022

Jul 29 2022

Pretty cool symphonic industrial, with a lil cabaret. Might not return super soon, but def neat 👍

Jul 30 2022

Aug 01 2022

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp

May 24 2024

Pretty damn catchy, and good songs. Can't complain

Superunknown by Soundgarden
May 26 2024

Fire. 🔥 RIP Cornell

Gorillaz by Gorillaz

May 28 2024

Excellent funk, gotta dig into the rest of the Parliament discog 👍

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
May 29 2024

Wild concept, fantastic production. Some dated stuff, but very fun and cool.

Closer by Joy Division
May 30 2024

Very good goth. More eclectic than UP. The seeds of New Order are here. nearly as good as UP but second half's quality dips

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
May 31 2024

Not a fan :( sounds like an expensive grocery store. Music for babies 🤷

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse

Jun 02 2024

👍

Scum by Napalm Death

It's no blackstar, but very respectable late career project 👍

Jun 07 2024

Quite good 80s country rock actually 👍

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jun 08 2024

Fire classic rock dad moment, ramble on indeed 👍

Jun 09 2024

Kinda quirky and whimsical hardish psych rock. Def pretty cool and innovative, but also a lil goofy

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 10 2024

It's good, not much to add.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jun 11 2024

More innovative than other numetal, and def influential, but still kinda cringe

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jun 12 2024

Pretty dang cool and exciting house album, def need to revisit

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jun 13 2024

Very wild and eccentric post-punky, ridiculously influential

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jun 16 2024

Pretty dang neat and cool and avant garde for the time 👍

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jun 17 2024

Prob their most consistent and maybe my fav, but I'm not a huge Stones guy

London Calling by The Clash
Jun 18 2024

Tremendous opener and closer, and some bangers in between 👍

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jun 20 2024

Face to Face by The Kinks
Jun 21 2024

Good lil kinks album

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Jun 23 2024

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Jun 24 2024

Excellent stuff, really unique for its time

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 25 2024

First Willie, and it's great :). Beautiful record, absolutely will revisit. Title track is fantastic 👍

Jun 30 2024

Love experimental synthy proto new wane Bowie 👍

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jul 01 2024

Quite mid. Weak songs/songwriting. Gotta start somewhere 🤷

Jul 04 2024

Lots of great guitar work and very fun.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jul 05 2024

I mean, yeah its a nice record, with pretty harmonies sometimes, but i don't get the hype behind this album. It's aight

Who's Next by The Who
Jul 06 2024

Very fire, hella nostalgic. Love it 😁

Achtung Baby by U2
Jul 07 2024

More consistent than Joshua Tree, but not as many highs

Eagles by Eagles
Jul 08 2024

Very good singles, lotta mid otherwise. The vocal harmonies carry

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jul 09 2024

Liked it a lot. Cool ominous beats. Some sus lines here and there, but it was the 90s ig 🤷

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jul 10 2024

Really neat record. Would love to check out some more vintage African albums 👍

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jul 11 2024

Pretty cool. Screamadelica is better, but this should not be slept on 👍

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Jul 12 2024

Shows that David Byrne is not the whole force behind the Talking Heads sound. Very cool and Genius of Love is iconic

Boston by Boston
Jul 13 2024

Most classic of classic rock. Still a LITTLE filler in there tho

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Jul 15 2024

Lot of cool sounds and moments and I call tell it's influential, but a little annoying in some aspects

Blur by Blur
Jul 16 2024

British pavement. I liked it 👍

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Jul 17 2024

Decent, like his debut and Memphis Elvis more tho

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 18 2024

Hard rocking and breaking ground on the debut, love to see it :)

One World by John Martyn
Jul 19 2024

Honestly quite a cool and musical dense album. Lot of interesting stuff going on

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jul 20 2024

Knocked it out the park on the first one, shame they couldn't keep it going 🤷

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jul 21 2024

Cool, chill, nice album but long and a little meandering. Prob should revisit

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 22 2024

I mean, def one of Chili's best, but I'm not chilis fan :/

Debut by Björk
Jul 23 2024

Fire, inventive, bold. Amazing debut

American Pie by Don McLean
Jul 24 2024

Very good folk rock album. Very Dylany songwriting, but that's not really a bad thing. McLean has a great voice.

Jul 25 2024

The Byrds basically set the template for the Eagles here. Not sure if we should thank them for that tho. Very good album

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jul 26 2024

Idk there's a couple decent tracks here. Love the Philly rep, but it's pretty corny ngl

The Doors by The Doors
Jul 27 2024

Very good, prob not best Doors, but obv very influential

Jul 28 2024

Wow. Excellent. Can def tell Kurt Cobain listened this. Prob one of best Beatles departure albums. Fantastic 👍

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jul 29 2024

Very very good album, almost on par with Folsom Prison. Great stuff 👍

Odelay by Beck
Jul 30 2024

Very cool array of sounds tbh. Very 90s, but not in a bad way 👍

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 31 2024

Pretty solid commercial metal album. Can see how it influenced much shittier bands tho

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Aug 01 2024

Decent for a Jam solo record. Admittedly some cool and good musical moments.

Aug 02 2024

Fantastic production. Def need to check out more Soulquarian work. Great stuff 4/5 👍

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Aug 03 2024

Pretty good singer songwriterish album. Liked it a lot tbh 👍

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Aug 04 2024

Southern strokesy indie rock. Its good but not my fav rock of the era

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 05 2024

Epic, innovative, creative, psychedelic. I am now experienced :)

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Aug 06 2024

Pretty damn innovative, undeniably groundbreaking, but nevertheless, a little sonically sparse

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Aug 07 2024

I mean, Ute can sing and these songs sound good as musical numbers, but this project seems lil unnecessary. Couple standouts, but I'd kind rather listen to a regular musical soundtrack 🤷

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Aug 08 2024

Very good, fantastic production, some lyrics haven't aged great, but very enjoyable and mostly great songs

Microshift by Hookworms
Aug 09 2024

Meh. Foster the People × Passion Pit × Animal Collective. Kinda derivative of better 2010s indie groups. Neat electronics tho

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Aug 10 2024

I think I like this more than Blue and Hejira. Really interesting arrangements and engaging songs, and very personal writing. Pretty fantastic

D by White Denim
Aug 11 2024

Mega XPN-core album. Sounds like if Cold War Kids were psych-rocky, folky, grateful-deady. Great instrumentation, but kinda bland tbh

Berlin by Lou Reed
Aug 12 2024

Very dark, bleak, stark, but very captivating. Definitely want to revisit this one, but it's a very interesting provocative rock opera indeed

The Yes Album by Yes
Aug 13 2024

This was great. Love this and Close to the Edge. Great great great prog rock. Some of the best ever

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Aug 14 2024

Not really fan of these dudes voices for the most part. Some very good songs tho. Hope I will like the follow up a bit more 🙏

Aug 15 2024

Very evocative and conceptualized. Does not feel meandering or indulgent at all. Very intentional and interesting orchestration. I quite enjoy Mingus 👍

Parachutes by Coldplay
Aug 16 2024

Turns out watering down Radiohead makes for some grocery store classics 🤷

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Aug 17 2024

Wonderful. Incredibly easy to get into despite the length, very musically detailed. Always something interesting going on. Pretty spectacular 👍

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Aug 18 2024

Sweet ear candy. Sometimes the California city references were too corny. Still good tho

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Aug 19 2024

Big fan of freaky deeky sad beach boys. The feet song sucks tho 👎

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Aug 20 2024

Quite good, but very disjointed. The hardcore tracks suck, but the jammier rockier songs fuck 😎. Also too long doe 🤷. Sabotage is a classic tho. 🤘 4/5

Raw Power by The Stooges
Aug 21 2024

Not as good as fun house. Still very good, but lowkey kinda campy in a bad way in some spots. Less of gritty, sweaty vibe, but still very fun and rockin

On The Beach by Neil Young
Aug 22 2024

I quite dig some introspective, moodier, sparse country rock Neil Young. Quite the good album

Phrenology by The Roots
Aug 23 2024

Fantastic, inventive, progressive. Very very cool conceptual album

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Aug 24 2024

It's aight. I prefer other shoegaze/britpop/British music. They owe Achtung Baby a lot of credit with this one tbh

Tago Mago by Can
Aug 25 2024

Quite the strange, freaky trip. Very forward thinking. I see why the hipsters like it 👍

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Aug 27 2024

Very very solid psychedelic baroque pop. Up there with Sgt Peppers for sure. Some corny sing-songy stuff, and they are hugely indebted to the Beach Boys, but besides that splendid indeed 👍

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Aug 28 2024

Very dispensary-core. Very 2012 Foster the People, but indietronic type beat. Not my favorite, but pretty inoffensive. Every song is too long

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Aug 29 2024

Pretty fun and energetic live album. Appreciate cheap trick a lil bit more 👍.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Aug 30 2024

Incredibly solid. One of the best singer songwriters of his time. Melodies are a bit samey, but still a fantastic record

The Clash by The Clash
Aug 31 2024

Pretty great debut. A lil one note, but still some killer songs on here

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Sep 01 2024

Obviously very good and impressive and influential for the time, but just a bit too sparse and repetitive to fully get into sometimes. Many great tracks tho

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Sep 04 2024

A lot of unique and interesting ideas here. Def a little too indulgent sometimes, but really interesting to hear them experiment.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Sep 05 2024

Honestly some very beautiful tunes and harmonies and playing here. Very much enjoyed this one

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Sep 06 2024

A lot of very interesting ideas and great sounds, but a bit of a lack of standout Songs overall. Still very enjoyable, but I think I prefer the debut as a more cohesive piece

Ramones by Ramones
Sep 07 2024

Very classic, great songs, def one note but the spirit and energy carry 👍

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Sep 08 2024

Mark E Smith can get considerably grating during an entire album, however, the beats/instrumentation on this one fits his style very well.

The Coral by The Coral
Sep 09 2024

Instrumentally sounds really quite good, but the lyrics and songwriting I didn't love as much 🤷

Sep 10 2024

I mean, it's catchy, but not impressive or versatile in anyway. It's very bland one-note ear candy. Not exactly a shocker that AI can easily churn out Oasis songs 🤷

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Sep 11 2024

Beautiful, great arrangements, very iconic album. Only a little bit of mid in there

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 13 2024

Great, instrumentally diverse, fantastic performances and songs.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Sep 15 2024

Instrumentally decent, good playing on this. The singing sucks ass. Very passionless. All in all, not an impressive album

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 16 2024

Not as heavy/stark as Siouxsie, not as light as the Cure. A solid gothy album as a whole piece, but not many standout tracks. I like their later work more tbh

Sep 17 2024

Great live show, hella energy, audience reactions are very entertaining and the transitions are fantastic. Would love to revisit

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Sep 18 2024

Musically, genuinely not the worst thing, but the album is too long. Lyrically aged horrifically in some places and atrociously in others🤢.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Sep 19 2024

Great debut. An excellent blueprint for the Seattle grunge scene. Well conceived for the most part. May be my favorite Mudhoney album

Spiderland by Slint
Sep 20 2024

Masterfully crafted, hella influential, and ahead of its time. Engineering sounds fantastic. Creative use of dynamics. Engaging storytelling. Very classic 🤘

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 21 2024

Really cool album. Sounds like it basically set the blueprint for Swervedriver to continue this sound. Very cool effects throughout it. I should definitely revisit

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Sep 22 2024

Sounds a lot like dispensary-core indie music. For me, the standout is the final track. It's good, not my favorite, not the most impressive thing

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Sep 23 2024

Honestly very grating and mid. I'm not necessarily a Jack White hater, but this was kinda a slog for me. Too many annoying basic songs. Not the White Stripes best 🤷

Pump by Aerosmith
Sep 24 2024

Sounds like Aerosmith in the late 80's. Energy and performances are def there, but most songs here are too long, and horned up. It's good for a comeback album 🤷

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Sep 25 2024

I could not be happier that the list includes this one. Genuinely a top 5 album of all time. These guys are masters of tension + relief, and expert song craftsmen. This thing as held up spectacularly. Still sounds heavy to this day. Can not praise this enough 🙏

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Sep 26 2024

Bowie's fingerprints are all over this. Sounds like Bowie but less restrained. I like it, but prefer the Stooges work for sure. Title track is fantastic tho

OK Computer by Radiohead
Sep 27 2024

Yeah idk I guess it's ok, almost as good as Coldplay and Muse 🤓

Synchronicity by The Police
Sep 28 2024

Every Breath You Take kinda sticks out like a sore thumb as the least shrouded in the world beat/80s grocery store music sound. And also prob the best song on the album. Sting is annoying as well, not my favorite :/

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 29 2024

This one is a close personal favorite of mine, however, Disarm is kinda a stinker (SP aren't as good when you have can't avoid Billy's shitty lyrics) 🤷

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Sep 30 2024

Very intriguing, I can hear where Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have taken a lot of inspiration from this. Loved Diamonds in the Mine, quite unhinged. Will def try to revisit 👍

War by U2
Oct 01 2024

Honestly, one of their most consistent albums so far. I think Joshua Tree has higher highs, but this one is better throughout. Also it's got New Year's Day and Sunday Bloody Sunday 👍

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Oct 02 2024

Some interesting ideas on display. Quite liked Fodderstompf. Not a huge Johnny Rotten fan, and he is definitely pretty obnoxious on a couple tracks here. Not my favorite post punk, but still worth listening to

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Oct 04 2024

Honestly a very fun listen. It's like a more palatable version of RHCP (fuck Anthony Kiedis.) Quite good indeed.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Oct 06 2024

Putting the dubious nature of this album's creation aside, the best tracks on this are some of the better 80s worldbeat (not even close to Talking Heads tho.) Ultimately, I like the stuff that this album influenced more than this album itself (Vampire Weekend.)

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 07 2024

I mean, it has a few more quirks than late 2010s pop music, and it's clearly got more personal lyrics than a lot of it, but it doesn't really stand out to me as being all that much more innovative or unique. Very Tumblr-core

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Oct 08 2024

Classic 90s alt/dance album. I pretty much enjoyed every song on this one. Very vibey and chill. Would go hard live 👍

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Oct 09 2024

Obviously it's great and all that, but it is not as good as the debut or Physical Graffiti. I absolutely love When the Levee Breaks tho, and they do pull off a great mix of folk and rock here.

Lost Souls by Doves
Oct 10 2024

Meh. I wouldn't disagree that this is kinda an impressive debut, and it's cool that the band sort of pulled off a reverse "Kid A" (before Kid A even came out,) but like, the sound of this thing is very indebted to Radiohead, but with overall less impressive songs and is less engaging throughout than almost all RH albums. The production is still good tho. Maybe I should revisit idk 🤷

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 11 2024

This album was slightly less sleepy than I thought it would be, which I appreciated. Mark Knopfler is a great guitarist of course, but this kinda felt like "Bob Dylan sings Grateful Dead," and not in a good way. Mark Knopfler is no Bob Dylan. Sultans of Swing is pretty undeniable tho

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Oct 13 2024

Solid early 90s rocker. There's a couple great songs (Hard to Handle is too corny for me tho :/). I will probably always have a soft spot for She Talks to Angels. It's a bit standard for 70's rock revival, but they sell it pretty well and their vocalist is quite good

Vivid by Living Colour
Oct 14 2024

Quite a good, rockin album. Cult of Personality is a classic song. Doug Wimbish is on fire here, great bass lines. Very Princey in some spots. 👍

Oct 15 2024

This album is just too long and samey for me to get into all that much. I think Hüsker Dü's are at their best when they're sounding a bit gruffer and lean more hardcore. Zen Arcade is peak

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Oct 17 2024

Definitely pretty challenging and chaotic. I think it's pretty undeniably impressive, but I prefer my noise rock to be a bit more structured i.e. Jesus Lizard, Drive Like Jehu, etc.

Faith by George Michael
Oct 18 2024

Pretty decent 80s pop album, some bangers. Dude's got a great voice for sure 👍. Definitely some dated 80s production tho

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Oct 19 2024

California Dreaming and Monday Monday are definitely the standouts here. The rest of the songs I could kinda take or leave. Definitely not the most impressive or innovative 60s record

Oct 20 2024

Cooler than some people give it credit for. I appreciate the experimentation and the mix of styles going on here. Would like to revisit 👍

Skylarking by XTC
Oct 22 2024

Very very good considering this is many albums deep in their career. The material here is very distinctive and inspired, it holds up very well for it. The band's charming quirkiness is still very present here. I prefer their earlier work overall but this did not disappoint 👍

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Oct 23 2024

This was a very pleasant, interesting listen. Will definitely need to revisit. Despite its length, it really didn't overstay it's welcome. Very detailed and intriguing 👍

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Oct 24 2024

Wow, I wish I had heard of this band sooner. The mix of electronic music and metal on this album is some of the most inspired and well conceived I've heard from its era. The singing is incredibly powerful and engaging too. I will definitely be returning to this one 👍

1977 by Ash
Oct 25 2024

Surprisingly great 90's rock record. Never heard of this band before this list, but this album was full of catchy songs, with great riffs and hooks. Could quite possibly become a regular listen 👍

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Oct 26 2024

Underated overall in the Zeppelin catalog in my opinion. Not the most consistent, but the highs are very high here. Can't go wrong 👍

Live! by Fela Kuti
Oct 28 2024

Always glad to hear some Fela Kuti. Very lively indeed. Very groovy, great for a drive. Quite an intriguing musical collaboration as well. Good stuff 👍

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Oct 29 2024

Absolutely classic. Not much more I can say about it that hasn't been said already. A great voice singing great songs on a great album. Can't ask for much more 👍

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz

Surprisingly pretty dang good considering I've only heard his singles and they aren't my favorite. Definitely appreciated how raw and kinda guttural the singing could be. The music is quite enjoyable but the lyrics are kinda basic. Overall a very good debut.

Very interesting production. Definitely could hear and appreciated how it influenced post-rock. Could be kinda boring at times, but there's a lot here to enjoy.

This kinda just sounded like uninteresting 80s grocery store music. I can appreciate that it was probably sorta innovative for the early 80s, but it was unfortunately pretty underwhelming
