Popular Reviews

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla

Like being in an elevator for an hour.

Liquid Swords by GZA

I didn't like this. I thought the movie samples were weird. The lyrics were repetitive. I'd ask for this to be turned off if it was on at a BBQ.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry

Tedious garbage. It sounds like it was made my a committee of people who had never listened to hip hop or R&B.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

Just stop listening after the first song. It doesn't get better and the rest of the album will make you rethink that first song was good. This was a grind to get through.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz

I guess someone had to write "The Girl from Ipanema". This record did nothing for me. The horn sounded weird through out.

xx by The xx
Nov 09 2021
Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Nov 10 2021

giving it a 3 just for the sample

B-52's by The B-52's
Nov 12 2021
1984 by Van Halen
Nov 16 2021

Over the top 80's rock. I knew a surprising number of songs off this record.

Nov 16 2021

It's fine. but i'm never going to listen to it again. Of the synth pop 80s, there's stuff i enjoy a lot more.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 19 2021

it's not bad or good. it's just background. Like what they playing in lobbies they don't want you to stand around in.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Nov 22 2021

I was expecting to skip this. It was better then i was expecting. I'm not into British hip hop, modern hip hop, people with little in their names. This wasn't bad. I'm not sure I'd listen again but i didn't hate it.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Nov 24 2021

Love this album. Already owned it.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Nov 25 2021

I remembered really liking this album when it came out. There was a lot of talk of the "softer" Hole and about Billy Corgan writing on the album. Revisiting it now I'm less impressed by it. I'd say the singles hold up but the rest of the album is so so.

Nov 29 2021

It's hard for me on this one to separate the art from the artist. It just seems like a long album of self indulgent narcissistic ramblings.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 30 2021

An easy listen. Not sure if it will go into heavy rotation.

Tapestry by Carole King
Dec 01 2021

One of the best records I took from my parents. I have no idea how many times I listened to this growing up.

Dec 02 2021

Very bland. I had problems getting used to the singers voice.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Dec 03 2021

They seem like the generic version of Metallica. Album was ok but no real stand outs. It was like they were following a script on how to make Metal.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Dec 08 2021

Wasn't super familiar with this album, but it's Tom Petty. It's great.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Dec 09 2021

I really dug this album. a little slow in parts. The single A Forest is a favorite of mine.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Dec 13 2021

Fuck Tom Waits!

Dec 17 2021

Sounds like an album I should have already listened to. Very enjoyable

Imagine by John Lennon
Dec 20 2021

kind of bland. Huge start with Imagine and then lots of filler.

Moon Safari by Air
Dec 21 2021

I was expecting more Big Beat era dance music but it was very chill. Maybe too chill for me.

Vespertine by Björk
Dec 22 2021

interesting, less pop then the other albums of hers i've listened to

Aja by Steely Dan
Dec 23 2021
The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 24 2021

This is not the Nick Cave i was looking for. completely skippable

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Dec 28 2021

I already owned this one. Love this era of Costello. His first 3 albums are true classics.

Leftism by Leftfield
Dec 29 2021

I like the dance stuff more then the atmospheric stuff. Kind of a background record.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Dec 30 2021

Wasn't sure what I was expecting post Velvet Underground. Just a straight forward rock record.

The Clash by The Clash
Dec 31 2021

Own the album. Own the shirt. Totally my thing

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 03 2022

This album surprised me. I really liked it and wish he had lived to make a second album.

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 04 2022

This is like a 2 1/2. I'm putting at a 3 just for Dancing Queen. It was all too much, but in small doses very enjoyable.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 05 2022

meh.... Come on Eileen is great though

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 06 2022

Just didn't connect with it. All filler, no killer.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jan 07 2022

This is one I had listened to before. It scratches that Tom Petty itch for me.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 10 2022

A classic. I don't know how many times I've had conversations about this album or the music video for Closer.

Jan 12 2022

This is a long record that has not aged well. Nothing stood out to me but the gay slurs.

Close To You by Carpenters
Jan 13 2022

An easy listen. I knew a lot of the song (or covers of the songs). It's not going into heavy rotation.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jan 14 2022

It was ok. Not my thing.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jan 17 2022

Own it. Listened to it a lot. Set the tone for the next decade in a lot of ways. For better or worse the 2000s rock/rap thing won't have happened with out this record.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jan 18 2022

This is fine. It was fine when I listened to it in 1994. Never understood the massive hype around this band.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Jan 19 2022

Great, but not as great as some of their later albums.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jan 20 2022

All speed. All energy. A great way to start the day.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jan 24 2022

I knew Fast Car and liked it. She's got a good voice and good lyrics, but this is a heavy record for a cold Friday. Not sure how to place it.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jan 25 2022

This is obviously not meant for me, but Hounds of Love and Running up that Hill are great songs. The rest of the album is good if a little too theatrical.

The Specials by The Specials
Jan 26 2022

Been listening to this since high school. Excellent.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jan 27 2022

I could have died without listening to this.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 28 2022

a by the numbers rock album. Fine but not something i'd just put on

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jan 31 2022

There's so much baggage that comes with MJ now. These are catchy pop songs but all i can think about is what he became.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Feb 01 2022

I guess i've mellowed to Bob Dylan. Was much better then i was expecting.

Metallica by Metallica
Feb 02 2022

Not really my thing. After i got through the songs I knew, it was a real slog.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Feb 04 2022

Not my preferred flavor of synth-pop, but not bad.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Feb 07 2022

It's fine. A little slow for me. I've never been an Elvis person.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Feb 08 2022

meh. It's a so-so record from the grunge band that never really broke. I was really surprised at how well reviewed this was at the time.

Repeater by Fugazi
Feb 09 2022

Already had this album. It's great. It's a great band

Stankonia by OutKast
Feb 10 2022

This was my introduction to OutKast. I listened to this a lot in college, but i must have made a cd without the skits/interludes. Those are awful. The rest of the album is great.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 11 2022

This was a bit hole for me. Fits right in with all the Carly Simon and Carol King records my parents would play. Really liked it.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 14 2022

It's hard to get past all the current Eric Clapton baggage. Or the baggage of every ex-hippie/hippie wannabe talking to me incessantly about this band for the last 20 years. The best i can say at this point, this is a pretty standard rock album. The songs you recognize are as good as you remember them being.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Feb 15 2022

Solid. Didn't know much about this band besides the jokes about the second album.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Feb 16 2022

I only new the singles going in. Really holds ups. Great guitar sound.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Feb 17 2022

Over the top goth/synth. Big fan of the single "This Corrosion". Enjoyed the listen.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Feb 18 2022

Jazz.... Still not a fan. This album was a grind to get through

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Feb 21 2022

I fell down a PFunk rabbit hole a few years ago. It's a fun time. It's also need hearing where a lot of the Dr Dre/Snoop samples come from.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Feb 22 2022

Not a big Who fan. This album didn't change my mind. It was fine. no real stand outs.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Feb 24 2022

The singles are still as undeniable as they were in the 80s. The rest of the album doesn't hold up as well.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Feb 25 2022

An easy listen. No real stand outs besides Sultans of Swing.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Feb 28 2022

Better then i had expected. Scratched a 90's nostalgia itch. It sounds like what the cool kids were listening to.

Dummy by Portishead
Mar 01 2022

I remember hearing Sour Times for the first time. Nothing sounded like this then. Nothing sounds like it now. I've never listened to this whole album and I was missing out. btw Wandering Star is amazing, had to listen to it twice in a row.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 02 2022

I think this is the first Jazz album with songs i recognized. Still not a jazz fan but this might be the best Jazz album so far.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Mar 03 2022

I wasn't expecting much. I got what i expected.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Mar 04 2022

I only knew pyschocandy. This is a lot more mellow. Still a a good listen.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Mar 07 2022

Judge me. I like folkie Taylor Swift. I have this on limited edition vinyl. Yeah i'm that person.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Mar 08 2022

After the nostalgia wore off, it got repetitive. The singles still hold up and maybe the rest would be good in small doses.

Mar 09 2022

This has one of my favorite REM songs on it. It's a great album but a little to melancholy for an everyday listen for me.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Mar 10 2022

I liked this. True post punk where they could experiment with the formula.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Mar 11 2022

This is a weird one for me. The production reminded me of De La Soul. None of the songs really stood out but it wasn't bad. Latifah charisma reminds you why she became an actress. Probably won't listen again.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Mar 15 2022

Maybe a little calmer then their early stuff. Still a great listen.

Mar 16 2022

Not my thing. I like Killer Queen but the rest felt like filler.

John Prine by John Prine
Mar 17 2022

I would rather listen to a jazz album.

Medúlla by Björk
Mar 18 2022

I bounced off this pretty hard. Not sure what this was about or who it was for.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 21 2022

Classic. Reminds me of summer barbecues.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Mar 22 2022

Not sure what i just listened too.... Is this rock jazz? Not awful but not my thing.

Phrenology by The Roots
Mar 23 2022

I listened to this a lot when it came out. It holds up pretty well. There are still a few songs I always skip.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Mar 24 2022

Didn't love it or hate it. Wouldn't listen again.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Mar 25 2022

He's such a weird person in music. I didn't dislike this as much as I wanted to. There's no How Soon is Now or There is a Light, but it's completely listenable.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Mar 28 2022

Don't think i've listened to this since the 90s. Holds up. Great opening of This is a Call and I'll Stick Around.

Fragile by Yes
Mar 29 2022

Between a 3 and a 4 for me. Some of the best of Prog Rock and some of it's more annoying tendencies as well. But I'd listen to it again before that last Neil Young album.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Mar 30 2022

As good as I remembered. I love that big sound. A classic.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Mar 31 2022

So boring. Couldn't even zone out to it because she hits those weird yodeling notes.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Apr 01 2022

I only knew them from the two singles that were everywhere. This was a good listen. Some quality 90s pop/rock.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Apr 06 2022

Didn't connect to this at all. Seemed like all filler.

Apr 08 2022

I actively disliked this album. Hippies pretending to be cowboys is my new least favorite genre.

Marquee Moon by Television
Apr 11 2022

Great album. Have it on vinyl. Have listened to it a bunch.

The Band by The Band
Apr 12 2022

This hit a good spot for me. I really like the piano and harmonies. Also recognized a few of the songs.

Quiet Life by Japan
Apr 13 2022

Interesting. Not my preferred flavor of 80s synth music.

Apr 14 2022

It was nice to have on as background noise. Nothing really notable about it, but Dead Bodies. If the rest of the album had that energy, it would require another listen.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Apr 15 2022

I listened to this a few times over the years. Never saw the movie. Pusherman, Freddie's Dead, and Superfly are really great songs. A quality listen.

The Visitors by ABBA
Apr 18 2022

Abba is better in small doses.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 19 2022

It's a good album. It just doesn't live up to the promise of Seven Nation Army.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Apr 20 2022

This has not aged well. The two singles are fine and I won't skip them if they came up in a mix. The rest of the album is weird reminder of what was Edgy in 1999.

Achtung Baby by U2
Apr 21 2022

Better then i expected. Still not a U2 person, but it was ok.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Apr 22 2022

This is their weirdest album. There's a lot that I like on it and there's a lot that i don't like. I always skip "The Gift" but the title track and sister ray are great.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Apr 25 2022

i had never hear of this band. It was OK. I don't think I'd listen to it again.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Apr 26 2022

I had heard the title track several times and liked it. Didn't realize the whole album was just the same organ sound over and over again.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Apr 27 2022

Good. I don't know if it's as good as Pink Moon.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Apr 28 2022

It was ok. Not my preferred dance music. Maybe if i heard it out instead of in my office.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Apr 29 2022

Didn't really connect with it. Wasn't a Pink Floyd person.

Young Americans by David Bowie
May 02 2022

Bowie's Funk/Soul record. I love the singles. A pretty good listen all the way through. Not my favorite Bowie record.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
May 03 2022

I have no idea how to rate a Beatles album. It's like rating oxygen. Yes this is essential. Do you like music? Then yes, you like this album.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
May 04 2022

I wanted to turn this off when i started listening. At no point did that change for me.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
May 05 2022

I just love her voice. Not my favorite of hers, but still very enjoyable.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
May 10 2022

I don't know much about reggae. I liked this less then Bob Marley but it was fine.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
May 11 2022

This has all the things I like and dislike about Pink Floyd. Some of those songs just ring out as anthems but they're buried by baroque navel gazing. 4 because i liked it more then i disliked it.

Atomizer by Big Black
May 12 2022

Loud noisy fun. Always worth a revisit.

Low-Life by New Order
May 16 2022

I was more familiar with Power, Corruption & Lies. This is a great followup. Moody synths, sort of dancey, not quite as hooky as Blue Monday. Just a great Friday listen.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
May 17 2022

It was fine. not something i'd listen to again.

May 18 2022

That's some real twangy country. Too slow pace for me and in a style I couldn't connect with.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
May 19 2022

Weird early German techno. Oddly fascinating. I listened to Trans-Europe Express and Computer Love after this. It was good rabbit hole to fall into.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
May 20 2022

I only knew them from the song in the Apple commercial. I was expecting something more dance/pop. This was ok but not really my thing.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
May 23 2022

I liked it better when i first listened to it. The hype when this album came out, made it sound like Kendrick was the new JayZ. I guess my exceptions tainted that listen through. I'm still not sure if I understand the hype. When he dabbles in jazz he completely loses me. I guess I'm stuck on late 90s early 2000s rap singles.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
May 24 2022

I know how important this band was. I know how important this record was. I've just never been a big Sonic Youth fan. That being said I liked this record more on this listen then I did 10 years ago. I'm torn on how to rate it.

Heroes by David Bowie
May 25 2022

Really lost me with those last 3 or 4 instrumentals. The single is great and the first half the album is good.

Future Days by Can
May 26 2022

Some interesting parts, some boring parts. It was fine.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
May 27 2022

I was familiar with a lot of these songs going in. A good listen.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 30 2022

This is hard to rate. "Gimme Shelter" and "Get What you Want" are so a part of my life I don't even know when i first heard them. They're in movies, tv, and on the radio. The rest of the album was fine but with out those two songs, I don't think this album would be on the list.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 31 2022

I love this band and I love this album.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jun 01 2022

Not really my thing. This was a fine R&B record.

Eagles by Eagles
Jun 02 2022

I always thought the Eagles were kind of bland. Some dinosaur band grown ups would babble to me about when I was in High School. This album did nothing to change my mind. I guess Witchy Woman is ok. 2 Stars for that.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jun 03 2022

Maybe it's just nostalgia but this really worked for me. I forgot how many singles this album had and how much radio airplay it got. I won't say I'm an Alanis fan but it's hard not to give something 5 stars that I had so much fun listening to.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jun 06 2022

Layers on Layers of samples. All pre-court case where it didn't bankrupt them to do so. A big change from the Licensed to Ill and not as approachable on the first listen. It's definitely an album I've enjoyed more on each listen. BTW if you are interested in the Beastie Boys at all, their book is great and the audio book version is even better.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Jun 07 2022

I liked the energy. I liked the noisy rock that would become punk. Maybe too much noise and energy for a sleepy Monday morning.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jun 08 2022

Just stop listening after the first song. It doesn't get better and the rest of the album will make you rethink that first song was good. This was a grind to get through.

Pump by Aerosmith
Jun 09 2022

It's what i expected. Nothing to write home about, but nothing objectionable.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jun 10 2022

I honestly don't know if i just listened to the same song on repeat for an hour. There was so little difference between the songs. Skip this album.

Jun 13 2022

This held up much better then Celebrity Skin. I guess I prefer songs ghost written by Cobain. Violet still kicks pretty hard.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jun 14 2022

Son of a Preacher Man is great and it's a real standout on this album. The rest is fine but not worth a re-listen.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jun 15 2022

Seemed more focused then the other Prodigy album. I knew more of the songs. This must have come out during the techno boom of the late 90s. It seemed really familiar... in a good way.

Different Class by Pulp
Jun 16 2022

I found out about Pulp several years after Brit Pop was over. I really like this album. Common People is an awesome song.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jun 17 2022

Not as experimental or weird as some of their albums and that makes it more approachable. Also you don't need 4 cd players to listen to it. A nice listen on a rainy morning.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jun 20 2022

Another jazz record. Got to the end of it so 2 stars.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Jun 21 2022

It was fine. I really liked Love Fool when it came out. I think I saw them open for Beck around this time.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Jun 22 2022

A little boring. I had a hard time getting used to her voice.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jun 23 2022

I won't turn it off if it came on the radio.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jun 24 2022

It has a bit of everything. I only knew Tight Rope going in and i was expecting more of a pop/r&b album. This is a lot more then that, i'm not even sure how to define it. Pretty great, i'd listen again.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 27 2022

There are some great songs. There are some good songs. and there is a good chunk of filler. This album was everywhere when i was in high school so it hits that nostalgia button for me. Zero still hits pretty hard. While I'm not sure if this needed to be 2 hours long, it's still worth a listen.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jun 28 2022

She has a great voice. I just don't think i'd listen to this again.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jul 01 2022

I though this group was bullshit in 1999 and listening to a full album has not changed my mind. While I could hear an argument that some nu-metal was good or interesting, this watered down wannabe boy band is just crap.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jul 05 2022

Better then i expected.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Jul 06 2022

reminded me of Nick Drake. Fit my mood when i was listening to it.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Jul 08 2022

Constant Cravings stands out in this otherwise boring album.

25 by Adele
Jul 11 2022

Boring. At every point they chose safe and simple. This could have been made by any half talented singer in any era.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 12 2022

The singles are still as undeniable as they were in the 80s. The rest of the album doesn't hold up as well.

Microshift by Hookworms
Jul 13 2022

Never heard of this band but enjoyed the listen. If i had to compare them to someone, they're like a more straight forward Tame Impala

Jul 14 2022

Slow. Maybe I'm too young for the references. The legend of this album far over shadows it's content.

Boston by Boston
Jul 15 2022

I've never listened to this album but I've heard every song on classic rock radio. I don't know if this is good but it's sunday bbq music at its best.

Jul 18 2022

Better then i expected. Not really my thing. I always want a band with a full horn section to do more.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jul 19 2022

Might be the best Bowie I've listened to so far.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jul 20 2022

Like being in an elevator for an hour.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jul 21 2022

I've been listening to this since high school. I love the energy and chaos of this record. I'm not sure if this is the best JSBX record but it's the one I listen to the most. Also the video for Wail is still a good time.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jul 22 2022

I got through it.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jul 27 2022

I dug this album. It's weird listening to mid 2000s music and hearing just how many influences they pulled from. Dancing Choose was the stand out track for me.

Jul 28 2022

The first 4 Devo records are all great. This is my favorite. There is a nice blend of instruments and synths before they really settled on their sound.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jul 29 2022

I liked it. I'm glad it had vocals. The female singer added to the creepy/moody feel of the album. I'm not sure if this would be an everyday listen for me but i won't mind revisiting it.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 01 2022

A strong start but a slow finish. I miss the energy and some of the rawness of their first two albums.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Aug 02 2022

Enjoyed listening to it all the way through.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Aug 03 2022

Immigrant Song and Tangerine are great. The rest of the album is good but not my favorite Zeppelin.

All Directions by The Temptations
Aug 04 2022

Didn't know Rollin Stone was 12 minutes and I was surprised by the chorus to Run Charlie. Overall a good listen.

Timeless by Goldie
Aug 05 2022

Mostly it was just background music. It was a really long record and I won't be revisiting it. Lots and lots of the Amen Break though.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Aug 08 2022

I love this album. I listened to it a lot when it came out.

Aug 09 2022

I had this on tape in my first car. I have no idea how many times I listened to this on road trips or on the way to college. This is the first unplugged I remember being more then the some of its parts. More than an excuse for some famous band to play a greatest hits show. I loved all the weird covers and deep cuts they chose to play instead. This is a great album.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Aug 10 2022

Better then i was expecting. Much more a straight forward indie rock record then what Bjork is known for. Still her voice started to grate on me by the end.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Aug 11 2022

The two covers were kind of interesting. Not really my thing. Really lost me in the middle.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Aug 12 2022

It wasn't bad but I'm never going to listen to it again. It wasn't for me.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Aug 15 2022

Some of the songs that were more folk were ok. The whole record seemed safe, overproduced, and boring.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 16 2022

I really liked the drums. Wasn't awful.

Tommy by The Who
Aug 18 2022

The Who will always be the bargain basement version of better bands. The only song that stuck out for me was Pinball Wizard. I guess if you get tired of the Beatles, the Stones, and Zeppelin there's always the Who.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Aug 22 2022

Some real highs and lows. Sweet Child, Welcome to the Jungle, and Paradise City still hold up. the rest of this album feels like filler. Maybe in 87 it didn't sound like bloated garbage.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Aug 23 2022

Better then i had expected. Between a 3 and a 4 for me.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Aug 24 2022

Liked it better the last ELP I listened to. Seemed more focused.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Aug 25 2022

Didn't connect to it at all. It was just background noise to me.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Aug 26 2022

I liked this when it came out but it's been a while since i listened to it. Held up really well.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 29 2022

It's interesting. The song with Kylie Minogue is great. Not sure how to rate it.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Sep 01 2022

I've just never been a big Sonic Youth fan. That being said I liked this record more on this listen then I did 10 years ago. A touch more mellow then Daydream.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Sep 02 2022

This is some dentist office music. lifeless.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Sep 05 2022

Very enjoyable. Like a missing Velvet Underground album.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Sep 07 2022

Dated pop trash. Way past its expiration date or relevance

White Light by Gene Clark
Sep 08 2022

Ok. Slow and a little lifeless.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Sep 09 2022

An ok dance album. I wasn't expecting a Selector sample. Red Alert held up pretty well.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

I liked the feeling of melancholy it gave and the word play. I know Morrissey became a caricature and then a shitshow but i'd listen to this again.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Sep 13 2022

Ok. Wasn't a big difference between songs.

Sep 14 2022

Not a U2 fan. This was better then I expected. I'm not going to re-listen but I'm glad I listened to it.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Sep 15 2022

Fine 70s rock. Didn't really stand out to me but wasn't bad.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Sep 16 2022

This was dope. Quality garage rock. A harbinger of what was to come.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Sep 19 2022

It was fine. I got really bored during the second half.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Sep 20 2022

I wouldn't be annoyed if this was playing in a Starbucks.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 21 2022

A good listen all the way through. "It's Like That" is one of my favorites.

Damaged by Black Flag
Sep 22 2022

This is a great album. I've listened to it lot over the years. Good energy and Rollins at his best. It also has a bit of levity that the bands later records lacked.

Closer by Joy Division
Sep 23 2022

Both Joy Division albums are amazing. This one is a little slower and darker then the first one but still excellent.

Revolver by Beatles
Sep 26 2022

Yeah, the Beatles are great.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Sep 27 2022

Some really good songs on this. Public Enemy political stance made them seem punk to me. Lots of energy on this record. I'd say the skits don't hold up but that's my complaint about most hip hop albums.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Sep 28 2022

Not sure what i was expecting. Good listen all the way through.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Sep 29 2022

Fine. I think Led Zeppelin did a better version of what he was trying to do.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Sep 30 2022

A good bit of stadium rock. Knew a lot of these from the classic rock stations. Pretty good all the way through.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Oct 03 2022

Not sure if I had heard this before. I'm a big Wilco fan and this is a good Wilco album.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 04 2022

I'd put this right behind Live at Folsom. It's pure Johnny Cash. The stage banter is almost better then the songs.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Oct 05 2022

I'm just not a fan of the genre. She might be the best at it but all I hear is dentist office music.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Oct 06 2022

Solid start. Recognized more songs on this then I expected to. Good listen all the way through. Less jazzy then some of the other Steely Dan records I've listened to.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Oct 07 2022

This is a good album with an amazing single. Psycho killer isn't just my favorite Talking Heads song, it's one of my favorite songs ever.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Oct 10 2022

Come Together might be my favorite beatles song. Another excellent Beatles album

British Steel by Judas Priest
Oct 11 2022

Breaking the Law was ok.

Be by Common
Oct 12 2022

Kinda boring.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Oct 13 2022

A strong start that just wanders. Not bad but not something i'd listen to as a whole album again.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Oct 14 2022

This is a weird listen in light of his recent comments. It's hard for me to separate the art from the artist. I'm just annoyed by West boasting for 60 minutes.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Oct 17 2022

This was a hard one for me. When it's working, it's amazing. But I get so bored during the ballads.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Oct 19 2022

did nothing for me. not even good background noise.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Oct 20 2022

Glad i listened to it. Probably won't listen to it again.

Oct 21 2022

A little bit of everything on this record including a Beatles cover. It didn't live up to the promise of the main single but wasn't a bad listen.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Oct 24 2022

This is one of my favorite albums.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Oct 25 2022

I didn't connect with it. It was slow. Compared to his other stuff it seemed sterile.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Oct 26 2022

I love this album.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Oct 27 2022

This was awful. The worst version of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" I've heard.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Oct 28 2022

Been a fan of Deceptacon for awhile, not sure if i had listened to the whole album before. Pretty great.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Oct 31 2022

Lot of good stuff on this album which makes it easy to ignore the filler. I'm sure this hit deeper in the 80's right after Bon Scott's death.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Nov 01 2022

Really strong start. War Pig, Paranoid, Iron Man are all great. Got a little bored by the end. between a 3 and 4 for me.

Kid A by Radiohead
Nov 07 2022

It's fine. I never got what the big deal was.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Nov 09 2022

This was interesting for a song or two. Then it went on for 70 minutes.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Nov 10 2022

I dug this. Seemed to fit my mood. I thought Extended Souvenir was a standout track.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Nov 14 2022

I lost whatever interest I had in this album very quickly.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Nov 16 2022

I really didn't like it. There were a few tracks that felt like actual songs, but even those didn't hold my attention.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Nov 21 2022

kinda mixed on it. Took me awhile to get used to his voice.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Nov 23 2022

It was nice to have on in the background. probably won't listen to it again.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Nov 28 2022

Maybe because i lived through the swing revival. Thought this was pretty good.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Nov 29 2022

Wasn't bad to have on in the background. Can't say any of it really stuck out to me.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Nov 30 2022

Seems like an album i should have already listened to. With a band coming from the ashes of another, it's hard not to compare. Definitely more experimental then the Minutemen. Not sure if I'd listen to this over Double Nickels but a good listen regardless.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Dec 01 2022

Generic. It dragged by the end.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Dec 02 2022

Completely unexpected.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Dec 05 2022

Fine. After the nostalgia wore off i got a little bored.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Dec 06 2022

While Tom Sawyer is great (the reason this isn't a 1 star), the rest of the album shows all of the excesses of Rush. 11 minutes songs that never get to the point. Meaningless lyrics that flow into meaningless instrumentals.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Dec 07 2022

It was ok. I had a hard time with his voice. I don't know why it reminded me of radiohead.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Dec 08 2022

I was expecting a little bit of everything and I wasn't wrong. For as experimental as it was, there were still some highlights. Not sure how to rate an album like this.

Queen II by Queen
Dec 09 2022

This wasn't the Queen i was expecting. Sounds more like a standard rock band then what I have come to expect from Queen.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Dec 13 2022

Great harmonies. I heard this and Deja Vu a lot in high school.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Dec 14 2022

Garbage. If you put the worst things of the late 90s in a blender, this is what you would get.

Low by David Bowie
Dec 15 2022

A solid listen till about track 8 when the more experimental and ambient stuff kicks in.

Sea Change by Beck
Dec 16 2022

I didn't listen to a lot of Beck post Odelay. This is fine but it just reminds me of when he made better stuff.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Dec 19 2022

She has a great voice. It just wasn't my thing. I was hoping for it to pick up even for one track.

Dec 20 2022

The singles off this album are great. Would work on any mix from this era. The rest of the record is fine. Score is mostly based on the singles.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Dec 21 2022

Not sure if I ever really listened to this band. Not bad

Pink Flag by Wire
Dec 23 2022

Great. Feels like i should have already listened to it. 1 2 X U is the stand out track for me.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Dec 27 2022

I always get sad listening to her now. This was a monster of a record and it was everywhere at the time. There should have so much more to come.

Destroyer by KISS
Dec 29 2022

It's like watching a parody that takes itself too seriously. Is the joke that Kiss doesn't know they are a joke band?

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Dec 30 2022

When you go too far Prog do you just become Classical?

Odelay by Beck
Jan 02 2023

I was a big fan of this in high school. This as aged incredibly well. Still an amazing record.

The Score by Fugees
Jan 03 2023

When I listened to this in the 90s, I don't remember liking it. Just thinking the singles good. I liked it a lot more on this listen. Too bad they couldn't figure out the third LP.

Jan 04 2023

There's a lot of good stuff on this record. My only complaint is it's long. They really wanted to fill 4 sides and I think that hurts the record.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jan 05 2023

This was a very long jazz album. Wasn't as bad as some of the jazz albums i've had to listen to.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 06 2023

I was doing fine till I hit the last track. Which is a 3 minute song stretched out to 19 minutes.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 09 2023

This should only be for completists or hardcore fans. These versions do nothing to make the songs better. This is a very long record without much of a purpose.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jan 10 2023

I'm a huge fan of the song Roadrunner. There's some other good stuff on here but overall the record is pretty mixed. "I'm straight" is a real low point. I'll probably go 4 stars just on the power of Roadrunner.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jan 11 2023

Maybe if i had heard this with fresh ears in 1987. The hair metal of the 80s were a joke and an example of lameness when I started listening to music. Nothing about listening to this album has changed my mind.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jan 12 2023

Not sure what i was expecting. Seems like a more personal record. I liked it but I can't point to a best track.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Jan 13 2023

Not a bad listen. Seemed like a pretty standard record for its time.

Pornography by The Cure
Jan 16 2023

A quality Cure record. I was already a Cure fan. I don't think this would be the record I would use to change peoples minds about the Cure.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jan 17 2023

I liked it better then Kid A. Thom Yorke's voice is still weird.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Jan 19 2023

Didn't like it. Maybe it was too slow. Maybe it was the blue-eyed soul. Maybe i heard it too many times in dentist offices. It just isn't my thing.

Cross by Justice
Jan 20 2023

D.A.N.C.E. is great. I'm always happy when it comes up randomly on a playlist. The rest of the album is enjoyable and I had a fun listen this morning with it.

The Cars by The Cars
Jan 23 2023

Just great top to bottom. Almost every song could have been a single.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jan 24 2023

I didn't mind it. Maybe it would have been different in 72 when Cooper was more of an oddity and less of an old man I see talking about golf.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jan 25 2023

It was fine. It just never became great. I didn't mind it but i won't put it on again.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Jan 26 2023

There are some really interesting post punk records. this isn't one of them. It was fine.

21 by Adele
Jan 27 2023

A really strong start but it overstays its welcome. Some where around track 5 I just got bored with it.

Blur by Blur
Jan 30 2023

Song 2 is great even if it was overplayed for a while. The rest of this album works for me. I thought it was funny reading the wiki that it was influenced by Pavement.

Jan 31 2023

Starts really strong. Gets a little jam bandy at the end. Not a bad listen.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Feb 01 2023

Some really good songs on this one. A bit more scattered then some of their later albums. Still has that great big sound.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Feb 02 2023

Not much of a Jazz person but this really kept my interest. The story behind the recording is very interesting as well. I might even listen to this again.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Feb 03 2023

Dreamy and spacey. Not bad but i don't think i'd listen to it again.

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 06 2023

This is the third Cure album we're doing. As good as the others. I don't think i knew any of these songs going in.

Harvest by Neil Young
Feb 07 2023

Heart of Gold is an amazing song. Some weird sonic shifts on this album. Enjoyed it overall.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Feb 08 2023

Meh. I didn't turn it off but I really didn't like it.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Feb 09 2023

Seemed like the filler left over from better Trip Hop albums. I keep waiting for it to kick in but it never delivered.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Feb 10 2023

I listened to this a lot when it came out. It didn't sound like anything i was listening to at the time. I loved it then and i love it now.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 13 2023

Paul Simon was a stable of my house growing up. It's a good album and it reminds me of my dad.

Feb 14 2023

Better then i had expected. Maybe not the best version of some of these songs. Taken as a whole, pretty enjoyable.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Feb 15 2023

Nothing really stood out. I just got bored with it. Pretty low energy for dance music.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Feb 16 2023

All the noisy and weird punk you could want. I feel bad for the kids in the 90s that bought these albums thinking all the songs would sound like Pepper.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Feb 17 2023

I remember not liking this when it came out. I guess i was expecting something like "Down by the Water". Listening to it now, I really like the mellow folk rock. I'll probably listen to this again.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Feb 20 2023

This is a great album. When the Talking Heads are on they are unstoppable.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Feb 21 2023

This is probably the best version of this type of music. The guitar and drum work is excellent. But it's just not my thing.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Feb 22 2023

Reminded me of Bowie. A solid listen all the way through.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Feb 23 2023

Bland. Seemed to steal heavily from Bob Dylan. Will not revisit.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Feb 24 2023

A couple of novelty hits. Stealing and Stop are fine if they come up in a playlist. Spent the rest of the album wanting to skip every track.

Feb 27 2023

I liked this better then some of his others. Subterranean Homesick Blues is just great and video for it is iconic.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Feb 28 2023

By itself its a good album. Looking at the progression from this to Abbey Road or Sgt Pepper, its even more amazing. It's crazy how much a band could influence and change in just 7 years.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Mar 01 2023

I was not as familiar with this one as i was with their self titled album. Good, you can hear them starting to branch out from pure hardcore. Worth another listen.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Mar 02 2023

Tedious garbage. It sounds like it was made my a committee of people who had never listened to hip hop or R&B.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 03 2023

This really surprised me. Enjoyed it the whole way through without understanding a word of it.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 07 2023

I'm a big fan of this band. I like all their records. This might be their best.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Mar 08 2023

This is a one hit wonder band I haven't thought about since the 90's. The one hit still holds up as a novelty. The rest of the album is a weird mix of rock, hip hop, and dated references.

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 09 2023

Shirley Manson is just cool. Queer is still as good as when I first heard it. Some filler I didn't care for but still a record I enjoyed listening to.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 10 2023

I listened to this on so many family road trips that it's basically a time machine to my childhood. Good songs and good memories here.

In Utero by Nirvana
Mar 13 2023

Holds up well. Some really good tracks on this. Nirvana was such a big part of my teen years that it's hard to rate this album.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 14 2023

Pretty listenable. Not something i'd put on again but was good while it was on.

Calenture by The Triffids
Mar 15 2023

Just boring. Nothing was overly terrible but there's not much else to say about it.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Mar 16 2023

Didn't really connect with it. Seemed like a dollar store version of Led Zeppelin. Not awful, just not great.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Mar 17 2023

I never owned this album and knew every song. This was one of the biggest bands when I was in high school. Even flow and Alive are still stand out songs.

The Doors by The Doors
Mar 20 2023

The organ sound is excellent through out. Break On Through and Light my Fire still hold up. I guess if you can get past the Jim Morrison baggage and parodies the rest of the album works.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Mar 21 2023

I guess someone had to write "The Girl from Ipanema". This record did nothing for me. The horn sounded weird through out.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 22 2023

Outstanding. I've listened to this album alot and it still sounds like it came from nowhere.

Mar 24 2023

The more Queen albums I listen to, the more I realize all you need is the greatest hits. Bohemian Rhapsody overshadows the rest of the album. I just spent the whole album waiting for it to get good.

Synchronicity by The Police
Mar 27 2023

There are some songs i really like on this but it doesn't hold together well as an album. Not sure who thought putting Mother and Every Breath on the same album was a good idea.

The Bends by Radiohead
Mar 28 2023

More straight forward then some of the later albums we've listened to. It's just not my thing. Fake plastic trees bugs me as much as when i first heard it. Thom Yorke's voice is still weird.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Mar 29 2023

I still like the title song. The rest of the album shows it age. Fine but not something i'm going to revisit.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Mar 30 2023

A little bit of everything. I want to rate it higher and then I think about the moonbeam song.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Mar 31 2023

I really like Pavement. This album isn't as quirky or as smoothed out as some of there other albums. I enjoy raw and slightly more punk sound.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Apr 03 2023

Much better then i was expecting. A solid groove and a great funky sound.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Apr 05 2023

This is as good as any of the other Steely Dan records we've listened to. I was surprised again by how many songs i recognized.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 06 2023

Nothing really stood out on this album for me. If i was going to put on a Smiths record, it would be the Queen is Dead over this one.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Apr 07 2023

I'm not sure how the CBGB scene reacted to Blondie putting out a dance track. It must have been an interesting topic at the time. This album worked for me. The first 3 or 4 tracks were solid and the rest of the album kept me interested. Heart of Glass is a standout on its own. Even if I'm not sure how it came from this band.

Apr 10 2023

The hyper-violence and misogyny did not age well. This is a very strange record to listen to as an adult. Some of the production is interesting.

Hotel California by Eagles
Apr 11 2023

Hotel and Fastlane were probably good the first few hundred times I heard them. The rest of the album just felt washed out. Like a copy of a copy of a copy.

Abraxas by Santana
Apr 12 2023

More jazz then i was expecting. Ok to have on in the background.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Apr 13 2023

This is horrible. This is so much worse then anything i expected.

Music by Madonna
Apr 14 2023

Some of the singles hold up. It just felt a little soulless.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Apr 17 2023

I've listened to the album alot since it came out. It's pretty amazing.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Apr 19 2023

I liked it better then Bitch's brew. Better then most of the jazz albums we've listened to.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Apr 20 2023

Sounded like something I should have already listened to. Quality listen.

One World by John Martyn
Apr 21 2023

Didn't mind it. Was really enjoying it till the last track which wandered aimlessly for 8 minutes. Between a 3 and a 4.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Apr 24 2023

I liked it better then Ritual de lo Habitual. Jane Says was overplayed to the point of being annoying. Ok overall but not something i'd return to.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Apr 25 2023

I like Blue a bit more. This was good but not as seamless as Blue.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 26 2023

I really like "The Killing Moon". It's a good album but not as good as that single.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Apr 27 2023

Good in the way that all Led Zeppelin albums are good.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Apr 28 2023

Good production. The combination of Snoop and Dre worked better for me then the NWA album.

Horses by Patti Smith
May 01 2023

It was better then i expected.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
May 02 2023

I guess i was expecting something like "Revolution Will Not Be Televised" and got a low-key soul/jazz record. Not really my thing.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
May 03 2023

Reminded me of other bands i listened to in this era. Solid but nothing really stood out. Probably between a 3 and a 4.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
May 04 2023

Seemed like good 80s indie pop. Was a good listen for me.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 05 2023

Still as good as the first time I listened to it. Say Yes is so good and so clever.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 08 2023

Just a good listen.

May 09 2023

Seems like they were a lot bigger in Britain then here. Kind of a Strokes or White Stripes sound. I'd listen again. "Look Good on the Dancefloor" is pretty catchy.

Opus Dei by Laibach
May 11 2023

It sounds like if SNL was doing a parody about german music

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
May 12 2023

I'm surprised my folks didn't play this in between Simon and Garfunkel records. I'd listen to this again. I really liked Sandy Denny voice.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 15 2023

Fine. Lasted longer then my interest in it.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
May 16 2023

Erykah Badu is a taste i never acquired and this is a long album.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
May 18 2023

A good listen. I liked some of the "unconventional percussion". The rougher sounding production fit her lyrics and voice better then some of the smoothed out 90s singles. I'm not sure if this was worth one of the rare pitchfork 10 out of 10s, but I'd listen to it again.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
May 19 2023

Not sure if anything stood out to me, but as a whole I enjoyed it more then Paranoid.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
May 22 2023

Dre and Snoop at the top of their game. I mean skip all the skits and just enjoy the ride.

Drunk by Thundercat
May 23 2023

From album cover to the last song, this is a weird record. Didn't mind it but i'm not listening to it again.

Sulk by The Associates
May 24 2023

Feels like i'm missing something. Sort of a less interesting version of the Cure.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
May 25 2023

I liked this better then Vauxhall. Seemed more "rock" then the Smiths stuff. I'd listen to this again.

Roots by Sepultura
May 26 2023

I could never get past the vocals.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
May 29 2023

The songs i connected with I really liked. The ones that were more minimal weren't as interesting for me. This is a hard one to rate for me.

May 30 2023

My thing with Motorhead is that every song sounds like Ace of Spades... This album is filled with songs that sound like the live version of Ace of Spades...

May 31 2023

I'd listen to this again. Noize and Arizona were the stand outs for me. Some of the commentary seems a little dated and on the more depressing side is how relative some of the commentary still is.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 01 2023

I'm a big fan of this band. Maybe not my favorite record of theirs but I still happy put it on. Tonite and Call the Police are the stand outs for me.

Jun 05 2023

I guess the singles were ok for a bit of nostalgia. But this record just felt disposable. After the summer these songs were out, i didn't think about them at all. Nothing on the rest of the record stood out and was either boring or skipable.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jun 06 2023

Some quality early rockabilly. Will listen again.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jun 07 2023

Meh. I was bored by the whole shock show in high school. It hasn't aged well. There are some interesting Industrial records from this era but this isn't one of them.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Jun 08 2023

Strong start, kind of wanders at the end. I'd listen to it again.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jun 09 2023

I'd listen to songs off this again but probably not the whole album.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jun 12 2023

Really liked it. the title track is a classic.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jun 13 2023

Between a 3 and a 4.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 14 2023

Sparse. I didn't skip any tracks but i'm never going to listen to this again.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jun 15 2023

Took a while for me to get into this record. I don't know if I would have liked it more in English.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jun 16 2023

It's hard for me not to compare this to the Pixies. I liked it but i'd still listen put on a Pixies record before this.

Jun 19 2023

Great from start to finish. Watch the video for the singles off this album, it's worth it.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jun 20 2023

Better then I had expected. Worth another listen.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jun 21 2023

I really wanted to like this album. For as much as I've listened to and like Paul Simon, this album was really a dud. Completely forgettable.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jun 22 2023

Shout and Rule the World are excellent singles. The rest of the album was so so for me.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 23 2023

I love this album. Just a classic.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jun 26 2023

Some top of their game Disco production on this record. I liked the more up tempo tracks.

Jun 27 2023

I've listened to this so many times since I found it in high school. Holiday and California are still amazing songs.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jun 28 2023

This is a great record. It captures the energy of the early Husker Du records and blends them with the 90s sound. Its surprising to see how well this works compared to the last Husker Du record.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jun 30 2023

Between a 3 and a 4. Couple of the songs stayed with me so maybe more of a 4.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Jul 03 2023

Man i love "Season of the Witch". The rest of the album was fine.

Dare! by The Human League
Jul 04 2023

Pretty standard synth-pop. The single still holds up.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jul 05 2023

lo fi beats to study to? Was fine to have on in the background.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Jul 06 2023

I didn't know as many songs off this as Harvest. Overall I really liked it.

Jul 07 2023

I've listened to this a lot since it came out. I own it on multiple formats. I've watched the documentary about the making of the album. This is a classic and if i could give it 6 stars I would.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jul 10 2023

About the same as the other album we listened to from them. I did like the few songs that were more rock.

Jul 11 2023

I think I would need a better background in Hip Hop to really enjoy this. I wish the skits were separate from the songs so i could skip them. Seemed really long.

Debut by Björk
Jul 13 2023

This did have a song i recognized and was far more approachable then the other Bjork albums we've listened to. I'm just done with Bjork at this point.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jul 14 2023

A straight forward 70s punk album. Enjoyable. Five stars because it was refreshing after the last album i listened to.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jul 17 2023

2 incredibly great songs on a record I just didn't like. Not sure how to rate this.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Jul 18 2023

I just like this band. This (like most of their records) is nice to put on and chill to.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Jul 19 2023

I guess they got there first but it really reminds me of Led Zeppelin. Not sure if i'd listen to this again.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jul 20 2023

When we go back to classic country, all i can hear are the parody songs mocking the genre. I guess this is a good example of this sound, but i just didn't like it.

Hms Fable by Shack
Jul 21 2023

It was fine. Nothing really stuck out to me and I won't re-listen.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jul 24 2023

I don't think i have the technical understanding to enjoy this album. It was fine but I know i'm missing something.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Jul 25 2023

I've listened to Genius of Love a lot. The rest of the album was a pleasant surprise. Would listen again. The best of the Talking Heads spin offs?

Dookie by Green Day
Jul 26 2023

Some real heavy nostalgia with this record. I listened to it a lot when it came out and it was pretty inescapable that year. While not being a huge Green Day fan anymore, I still really enjoy this record.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jul 27 2023

I've definitely revisited the singles off this since it came out. Some of the album cuts show their age, but i'd probably re-listen to most of the singles off of this.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jul 28 2023

Straight forward 70s punk with a couple of covers. Very enjoyable.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jul 31 2023

Not sure which era of Bowie this is, but the record sounded like Rock all the way through. Not as many stand-out songs as some of the Bowie record but also not as much of the random experimental tracks. I'd listen again.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Aug 01 2023

Between a 3 and a 4. I've been enjoying the Sonic Youth records more then I was expecting.

Aug 02 2023

It's weird to listen to a record that makes the Stooges sound focused and polished. I like what this record influenced more then this record. It was fine.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Aug 03 2023

A good listen. Maybe not as defining as Loveless but it's still in my re-listen list.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Aug 04 2023

This guy shouldn't be rapping. Generic rave music with annoying vocals.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Aug 07 2023

A bit slower then what i remembered. Still good memories of listening to this record.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Aug 09 2023

A good throw back to 70s southern rock. Enjoyable, but they sure do like talking about Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Aug 10 2023

I enjoyed having this on. Fell into a sweet spot for this type of music for me. Between a 4 and a 5

Movies by Holger Czukay
Aug 11 2023

He was definitely trying for something. No idea what.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Aug 15 2023

Really mixed on this album. I think without the talking I'd put it on again to work to. But as is, i don't think i'd listen to this again.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Aug 17 2023

Not for me. The singer has a unique voice and i never got used to it.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Aug 18 2023

Good, maybe not the Stones i was expecting. I could see the Beatles comparison more on this record.

Kenya by Machito
Aug 21 2023

There wasn't a lot of variation between songs. The first track was fine, but i didn't need to hear it 12 times.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Aug 22 2023

I enjoyed this. Strong start. I even listened to some of the alternative mixes.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Aug 23 2023

I lost interest in it about halfway. The cover of California Uber Alles was strange.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Aug 24 2023

Not sure what classic rock radio would sound like without this album. It's the definitive Zeppelin record. Stairway is almost bigger then the band.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Aug 28 2023

At first, I thought maybe I'd like it more if is spoke french. By the end, I think i'd dislike this in any language.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Aug 29 2023

Interesting. I don't think I'd listen to it again.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Aug 30 2023

Straight forward punk album. I knew a couple of the songs. I'd put it on again.

Nowhere by Ride
Aug 31 2023

Just great. I've listened to this a bunch of times and it's still a treat to listen to.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Sep 01 2023

I liked it better then the last time I listened to it. It's the least interesting VU record to me.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Sep 04 2023

I can see why so many bands cite this as an influence. It's so good and i should have listened to it years ago. A real treat and it deserves a relisten.

Infected by The The
Sep 05 2023

I liked the first song but then i lost interest. Not bad not good

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Sep 06 2023

The two songs i knew were fine. The rest of the tracks were hard to get through.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Sep 07 2023

I'm real mixed on this record. The singles (Sabotage, Sure Shot, Root Down) are all incredible. The rest of the album just feels random. While i'll listen to the single again, there's no way i'm listening to this all the way through again.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Sep 08 2023

Not for me. Maybe his voice sounded a little like Neil Diamond.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Sep 11 2023

I had low expectations going in. Better then i expected but still not my thing.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Sep 12 2023

About the same as the other Coldplay album we did. So So music and the lead still sounds whiny to me.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Sep 13 2023

I think first time listening to this band. Not sure what I expected but I liked it. Maybe a little to 90s for some people's tastes.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Sep 14 2023

Wasn't bad. Nothing new stuck with me. The single is still good.

Sep 15 2023

I understand why this is on the list. I understand it's importance in Hip Hop. I'm just not going to listen to it again.

Sep 18 2023

Take on Me is great. I don't know what i expected from the rest of the album. It was fine. Very 80s.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Sep 19 2023

It took awhile for me to warm to his voice. I'm surprised how much I ended up liking this record.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Sep 20 2023

Really enjoyed it. You can hear the influence it has on a lot of bands i listen to. Will listen again.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Sep 21 2023

2 hours, come on. I found some of the instrumentals interesting. Ever time the vocals came in, i just wanted to skip to the next track.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Sep 22 2023

I must have listened to this when it came out because i knew a lot of the songs. It's interesting to hear what he sounded like before becoming a walking trash bag.

Kenza by Khaled
Sep 25 2023

I just couldn't get into it.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Sep 26 2023

A really enjoyable listen. Seems like they influenced a lot of bands I listened to in high school and college.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Sep 27 2023

I like it better then two. Fine but not something i'm going to revisit.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Sep 28 2023

Real jammy. Long drum solos. Long guitar solos. Fine, just not my speed.

Suicide by Suicide
Sep 29 2023

I've listened to this band before. It took me awhile to get used to their sound. Overall an enjoyable record even if Frankie is too long.

The Man Who by Travis
Oct 02 2023

It sounded like Coldplay. I guess if that's your thing maybe this is for you.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Oct 04 2023

Not something i would have normally listened to. Not bad. Didn't want to skip any tracks but won't be revisiting.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Oct 05 2023

All their albums pre breakup are amazing. Depending on the day this is my favorite.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Oct 06 2023

Less interesting then the other Doors album we did. I enjoyed the songs i knew but the rest felt like filler.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Oct 09 2023

It was ok. I liked the other 2 albums better.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Oct 10 2023

Took me a minute to click with this. Around "Sigourney Weaver", I got into it and started getting his humor. Really ended up enjoying it.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Oct 11 2023

A straight forward 70s punk album. Less energy from their first one.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Oct 12 2023

I found all parts of this album less interesting then Back to Black. Still has a great voice but I didn't care about any of these songs.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 16 2023

The singles are just classics at this point. A quality listen all the way through.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Oct 17 2023

This isn't my favorite from this band. I could hear some of the promise that gets fulfilled on the later albums, but it just wasn't there yet. On it's own, it's ok.

Oct 18 2023

Not much of a prog fan. This record seemed rambling and unfocused. Maybe I just don't get the genre.

Mask by Bauhaus
Oct 19 2023

I guess I was expecting 60 minutes of Bela lugosi. More varied then that. Overall a good listen.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Oct 20 2023

I don't think there was an album that had a bigger impact on my teen years. This is a fantastic album. There was a time where you could hear almost any song off of this on the radio.

Smash by The Offspring
Oct 23 2023

Another big high school record. I've always loved the opening to Come Out and Play.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Oct 24 2023

Ok Britpop. Nothing really stood out to me about this album.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Oct 25 2023

Felt a little like Harvest. A bit slower. Seemed fitting for a grey fall day.

Oct 26 2023

This is the 3rd Smiths album we've done. Coma and Stop Me were the tracks that stood out to me. I'd listen to this after Queen but before Meat.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Oct 27 2023

Connected is pretty good and I've heard it a bunch. The rest of the album is ok.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Oct 30 2023

Not as bad as i was expecting. Still never listening to this again

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Oct 31 2023

I guess i didn't understand it. The lead singer sounded too much like Tom Waits for my taste. I just don't think i have the patience to listen to this to the point where I like it.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Nov 01 2023

This is probably the best version of this type of music. The guitar and drum work is excellent. But it's just not my thing.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Nov 02 2023

New to me. I liked it enough that I want to check out more of her stuff.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Nov 03 2023

Felt generic. Never connected to it.

Technique by New Order
Nov 06 2023

It was good. Not my favorite of theirs.

Third by Soft Machine
Nov 07 2023

It felt like a really long jazz record. I didn't turn it off. Low bar for jazz records.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Nov 08 2023

The songs before the title track seemed very average 60s. The title track is good... but I don't think i'd listen to the full 17 minute version again.

New Forms by Roni Size
Nov 09 2023

I listened to the 2 disc version. This music wasn't meant to be listened to at home on a quiet day. I'm sure the repetitive nature or endless thump would be perfect somewhere people are dancing. As is, its just ok and maybe a little long.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Nov 10 2023

My parents would listen to a lot of Beach Boys on car trips when i was a kid. I sort of thought their songs were a bit simple. It's a lot different now listening to this album after seeing the documentaries and hearing bands talk about the influence this record had. It's just a great album. God Only Knows is probably my favorite Beach Boys song.

American Pie by Don McLean
Nov 13 2023

The title track is pretty classic. Vincent is ok. The rest of this record is really boring.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Nov 14 2023

Good harmonies. Some pretty folks songs. Not bad.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Nov 15 2023

Street fighting man and Sympathy for the Devil are great. I'd listen to the those tracks again but I don't think i'd listen to this album again.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Nov 16 2023

I didn't turn it off but it wasn't my thing.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Nov 17 2023

The stuff i liked, I really liked. The stuff i didn't like, was almost un-listenable. I guess that evens out to a 3.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Nov 20 2023

The beat was decent. I don't think I'd listen again.

High Violet by The National
Nov 21 2023

I listened to this a lot when it came out, but i haven't revisited it since. It's sad Monday music but I liked it. Terrible Love will be in the rotation now.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Nov 22 2023

It's interesting how much this influenced both punk and glam. A good listen. Standouts for me were Personality Crisis and Trash

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Nov 24 2023

Seems like a band transitioning. I had listened to some of their earlier Ska stuff. I was expecting that energy and was let down by what i got.

Nov 27 2023

I liked the title track and the singles were ok. This was a lot of LL and it definitely showed its age.

Ctrl by SZA
Nov 28 2023

There's a lot of autotune on this record. I guess I just don't get modern R&B.

Spiderland by Slint
Nov 29 2023

I would have rated this higher if it was just instrumental. It's close as is, but the random vocals took me out of it.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Nov 30 2023

I've been enjoying the Sonic Youth records more then I was expecting.

Dec 04 2023

More mellow then I remember 2Pac being. It all just feels so fake at this point. Like an actor pretending to be hard.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Dec 05 2023

It's very 80s. That one single was everywhere and I still hear in movies. More covers then I was expecting. Kind of mixed on this very disjointed album.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Dec 06 2023

Just found this boring. I liked the bands they are trying to be better.

Play by Moby
Dec 07 2023

I listened to this album in a lot of cars that year. Peak 90s era techno (at least in America). Not a huge fan of the chill songs at the end, still a good record.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Dec 08 2023

It was fine. The guitar sound was great. I just don't see me listening to it again.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Dec 11 2023

Second album of theirs i'm listening too. They've worn on me. I think i like their other album less now too.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 12 2023

I listened to this right after he passed. It still hits as hard as it did then. One hell of a good bye.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Dec 13 2023

My favorite of the Stones albums we've listened to so far.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Dec 15 2023

A favorite of mine. Just a great album to put on. Even in the background.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Dec 19 2023

This was a good listen. It had more songs that I knew then i was expecting.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Dec 20 2023

This went down hill fast for me. First song 'This isn't bad' to the end 'I'm bored and i don't like this'.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Dec 21 2023

A good listen. Didn't know much about it going in.

Dec 22 2023

A whole album from a one hit wonder that doesnt have the one hit. I didn't need 10 tracks of this.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Dec 25 2023

Even if you can separate Art from the Artist, this is still hot trash.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Dec 26 2023

Seemed to have all the singles I knew up front. While the singles are fine and have some nostalgic value for me. This is a long repetitive record (that feels a little preachy).

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Dec 27 2023

I had really low expectations. I'm not that into prog or psychedelic music. But something about this really worked for me. It was fun to have on. That said, I did skip most of the weird talking songs.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Dec 28 2023

Fine. Nothing really stuck out to me about this record.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Dec 29 2023

I love this band and this is a great album. It was a fun re-listen.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Jan 01 2024

I only knew 3eps going into this. This wasn't bad but i'd listen to 3eps before putting this on again.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jan 02 2024

I don't understand how there's so much Tom Waits on this list.

Vulnicura by Björk
Jan 03 2024

I have no idea why she's on the list so many times.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jan 04 2024

Some good tracks. Refreshing after the last few albums. Just not sure if i'd go back to it.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Jan 05 2024

I've listened to this a lot of the years. Good beats and interesting samples.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jan 09 2024

90s trendy coffee shop music. While not Bjork bad, I still didn't enjoy it.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jan 10 2024

Noisy indie rock. I'd never gone deep on Dinosaur Jr. I really liked this album.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jan 11 2024

Meh. One of the vocalists really bothered me.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 12 2024

Some good dark and synthy songs on this. Again I knew more songs then i was expecting. Quality listen.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jan 16 2024

Maybe it's the singer, Maybe it's the production. I really disliked this album.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jan 18 2024

Cold Beverages was a radio staple for awhile. The album is fine. Kind of a nostalgia trip for me.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jan 19 2024

Jazz New Wave hybrid? This was not my thing, but i didn't turn it off.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jan 22 2024

I like this record. It's hard separating the massive hype surrounding the Strokes when this came out. I wish their follow ups were anywhere near as good.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Jan 23 2024

I liked this alot more then I was expecting to. Country but not over produced. Almost more folk. I'd listen to this again.

It's hard rating PJ Harvey because I really want all her stuff to be like "Down by the Water". That said I enjoyed listening to the album. Much more straight forward rock then some of the other stuff of hers I've listened to.

War by U2
Jan 25 2024

Not a U2 fan. This was better then I expected. I'm not going to re-listen but I'm glad I listened to it.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jan 26 2024

Generic 60s. Not much to hold my interest but I didn't turn it off.

GI by Germs
Jan 29 2024

Just a great loud punk record. I was thinking about listening to this when it came up on the feed.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jan 30 2024

It was ok. Some of the lyrics were clever with good word play. But the whole thing felt like they let the theater kid play the piano at the party.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Jan 31 2024

Disjointed. Not a bad listen, but the songs are all over the place.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Feb 01 2024

Meh. The cab driver song was the only one that stuck out to me. The rest of it felt like bland wannabe hippy stuff.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Feb 02 2024

Like an eclectic mix tape. Some real highs and some deep lows.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Feb 05 2024

I just don't see listening to this again. Good guitar work and I'm sure this is top of this style of music. Just not for me.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Feb 06 2024

Fine. I liked the singles less then the rest of the album.

Risque by CHIC
Feb 07 2024

'Good Times' is a great track and opener. The rest of the album flows like I want a disco album to. Up beat, Dancey, Just a fun time.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Feb 08 2024

Really strong start. Life on Mars is an amazing song. Got a little weird on the back half.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Feb 09 2024

This didn't age well. Also one of the rappers sounds like Tracy Morgan which made the whole thing sound like a bad SNL skit.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Feb 12 2024

Sparse. I had a hard getting used to it. Felt more like a music lesson then an album.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 13 2024

I'd listen to this again. Good horns. Good songs. Wasn't sure what to expect from the Come on Eileen band, especially when this album didn't have Eileen on it.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 14 2024

Not the same energy as his first 3 albums. Maybe a more mature Elvis. Still enjoyed it. Would listen again.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 15 2024

Between a 2 and a 3. Sometimes he would break through the formula and polish and it would start to shine. Most of it just felt like product.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Feb 16 2024

It was fine. No single track stuck out to me but I didn't mind having it on.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 19 2024

Two decades to make this album and it's pretty great. Hope we get another before 2033.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 20 2024

At best it sounded like bad Belle and Sebastian or bad Pulp. I never got used to the singer's voice and was happy when it was over.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 21 2024

This is great. I loved the stage banter as much as the songs. He's got more charisma then the actor who played him. A great listen.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Feb 23 2024

This is supposed to be romantic music, but those cheesy lyrics could ruin anyone's chances. Down a star for that KFC song.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Feb 26 2024

Better then i was expecting. Between a 3 and a 4.

Black Metal by Venom
Feb 28 2024

Really good guitar and drums. Sounded sort of like Black Sabbath. The satan gimmick got stale quickly.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Feb 29 2024

I still say they sound like the Beatles. Best Kinks record I've listened to so far.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 01 2024

This is a hard one for me. A couple of truly great and classic songs, but the rest of the record is just bad.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Mar 04 2024

Maybe it's just nostalgia. I had a really good time listening to this record. Jealous Again and Hard to Handle are great tracks

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Mar 05 2024

A soundtrack to a movie I've never heard of in a style of music I'm not familiar with. It wasn't great but there were one or two songs that were listenable.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Mar 06 2024

Between a 3 and a 4. Wouldn't mind listening to it again.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Mar 07 2024

It's like a soundtrack to a musical I don't want to see. Very strange.

Da Capo by Love
Mar 08 2024

Fine. Seemed average 60s

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Mar 12 2024

This was a fun listen. The Weight is still a great song.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Mar 13 2024

it definitely overstays it's welcome.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 14 2024

This might be the best of this genre, I just couldn't connect with it.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 15 2024

I've listened to this a lot over the years. A bunch of great pop songs. I think this was the first Taylor Swift record I listened to all of.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Mar 18 2024

I found this band after the Nirvana Unplugged. While the singer's voice takes some getting used to, this is a really cool album. I enjoy the blending of folk, country, and punk. Both versions of Plateau are great.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Mar 20 2024

As weird and wonderful as I remember it. It's hard to judge an album that is such a mix of styles and genres. For every 10 songs, I loved one and skipped one. I've giving it 5 stars for just being so ambitious.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Mar 21 2024

I didn't like any of this. I was glad when it was done.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 22 2024

I know a lot more CCR then I thought it did. Good listen.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Mar 25 2024

Seemed designed for the more hardcore fans. It was ok but i don't think I'd listen again.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Mar 27 2024

All of his albums were great. There was a time in college when he was all i listened to.

Mar 29 2024

The lead singer's voice got more annoying to me as it went on.

Apr 01 2024

This seemed really long. The few good parts were overwhelmed by the sheer volume of sameness from the rest of the album.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Apr 02 2024

A lot better then i was expecting. The dance tracks held up better for me then the ballads. The singles were a nice bit of nostalgia.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Apr 04 2024

Fine. Kind of what i was expecting. I liked some of his other stuff better.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Apr 05 2024

This was a good listen. I'd put it on again.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Apr 08 2024

This was fine. I thought the stage banter was pretty good.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Apr 09 2024

Pretty good listen. I won't turn it off if it came on.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Apr 10 2024

This was ok. The first half or so was good to have on for background. Wasn't as much of a fan of the end of it.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Apr 11 2024

An in between record for me. 4 stars for Superstition

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Apr 12 2024

Definitely from another time. Jump Jive and Wail was ok.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Apr 15 2024

Wasn't a big fan of the lyrics but the rest of the album was great. Really good guitar work.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Apr 16 2024

I liked "What's Love Got to Do with It", maybe just out of nostalgia. The rest of the album has some heavy production. A weird choices of cover songs as well.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 17 2024

First 5 tracks are pretty great. It loses steam after that, but i'd listen to this again.

Lost Souls by Doves
Apr 18 2024

Still don't like the lead singers voice. This was ok.

Wild Gift by X
Apr 19 2024

Great band, Great album. I've listened to this before and will again. I'd have a hard time picking between this and Los Angeles.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Apr 22 2024

This was described as Jazz Rock. Maybe too much Jazz for me.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 23 2024

A very stripped down record. The story behind it is almost as good as the record. My favorite Springsteen record so far.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 24 2024

It was ok. Didn't really connect for me like his first 3 albums.

Apr 25 2024

Heavy synths, Sort of dance music, and Annie Lennox singing her lungs out. I'd listen to this again.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Apr 26 2024

I didn't like this. I thought the movie samples were weird. The lyrics were repetitive. I'd ask for this to be turned off if it was on at a BBQ.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 29 2024

This record was played a lot when I was in high school. Not sure why. The harmonies are great. Seems like everyone was at the top of their game. I'd put this on again.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Apr 30 2024

I'm not a big fan of this style. Nothing was awful about it but I'm not going to listen to it again.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
May 02 2024

He was definitely going for something. I don't know what that is and I didn't like it.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
May 03 2024

This is a weird sound to come out of 2005. Not awful but not exciting either. A real bore.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
May 06 2024

Maybe not as good as Blue. Still pretty great.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
May 07 2024

I knew a bunch of these songs. I just don't see listening to it again.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
May 08 2024

Sounded like it would fit in with a lot of the singer song writers in my parents collection.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
May 09 2024

The indie rock version of Big Star. This is a great album and I'll listen to it again.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
May 10 2024

This was never for me. I'm not sure how the rest of the album compares to 2002, but the singles feel extremely dated. Forgettable.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
May 13 2024

Nothing really stood out, but it wasn't a bad listen. Somewhere between a 3 and a 4.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
May 14 2024

I didn't need a full album of this. One or two songs and you get the idea.

May 16 2024

Lots of ups and downs for me on this record. I've never been an Elton John fan. I'm also good if I never hear Candle in the Wind again. But some of those other singles are really catchy. So maybe a 3.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
May 17 2024

This was ok. I just don't see listening to it again.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
May 20 2024

Felt a lot mellower then Talking Book. I'd probably put on Talking Book before listening to this again.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 21 2024

I'd listen to Higher Ground again. I don't see listening to the whole album again.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
May 22 2024

Started out as background noise and somehow got more boring from there.

Green by R.E.M.
May 23 2024

This is a good era of REM. I'd listen to this again. Maybe Stand was overplayed for awhile, but it didn't detract from the record.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
May 27 2024

They're definitely going for something. Don't know what that was or if I would understand it.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
May 28 2024

Better then i was expecting.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
May 29 2024

Generic pop. Less fun then i was hoping for.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
May 30 2024

It was fine. Not something i'd listen to again. Some of the stage banter was funny.

Scum by Napalm Death
May 31 2024

Fast and loud. Not bad. Not my first choice for something fast and loud.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jun 03 2024

Between a 2 and a 3. nothing really objectionable. I just got bored with it.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Jun 04 2024

I love this weird mix of punk and rockabilly. I also dig how two genres of music at the same time were watching too many horror movies. Instead of the vampire macabre of the goths, this is straight creature feature b-movie.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jun 05 2024

Fine. At it's best it sounds like bad Led Zeppelin

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jun 06 2024

It all just blurs together. Maybe a single would be enjoyable in small doses, but 80 minute of this is a kind of punishment.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jun 07 2024

I found this band through the Replacements. You can hear the influence on a lot of 80s/90s bands. Even without that pedigree, this is a good listen. 13 is a great song.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jun 10 2024

Some really good songs on this record.

Jun 11 2024

There wasn't a stand out track like Touch Me I'm Sick, but it was still a good listen. A less flashy version of grunge then most of their peers.

Being There by Wilco
Jun 12 2024

Another great Wilco album. More upbeat then YHF.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jun 17 2024

They do one thing. They do it well.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jun 18 2024

I can see a lot of the bits that would come together in Pink Moon. Maybe if i had heard this first, I would have liked it better. It's still very good. I just think Pink Moon is better.

California by American Music Club
Jun 20 2024

It was missing something for me.

Jun 21 2024

Mixed for me. I love 'Tainted Love' but I found the rest of the album so so. A 3.5 for me.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jun 24 2024

Fine. Not sure i'd listen to it again.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Jun 25 2024

I really like Sandy Denny voice. I ended up re-listening to Tam Lin a couple of times after finishing the album.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jun 26 2024

This is a great album. I've listened to a lot. Probably the best Liz Phair record. If you're not digging it, at least check out Stratford-on-Guy.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jun 27 2024

I listened to this in high school and quite often since then. It feels like I hear something new every time i listen to it. Really a classic.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jun 28 2024

Mixed for me. I liked the first 3 songs then I lost interest. The last song was ok. I don't think i'd listen to the whole album again, but maybe a song or two.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jul 01 2024

It's not bad, but the whole time I thought i should just listen to Elliot Smith.

Jul 02 2024

I've been listening to this one since it came out. Probably still my favorite of their records. Lauren Mayberry is great on this. I'm not a big fan of the two songs where she's not the lead singer.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Jul 03 2024

Not my favorite of theirs. It's more interesting then anything else. I mean it's still Alex Chilton being awesome. It's just not as good as his other stuff.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jul 04 2024

Interesting. It's really the triumph the hype would have you believe. I miss the old harmonies that were the core of the best Beach Boys songs. I don't think i'd listen to this again.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jul 05 2024

This was a good listen. Seemed to move better then Synchronicity.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 08 2024

Good. I'd probably listen to it again.

Soul Mining by The The
Jul 09 2024

I knew a couple of songs off this album. The rest of the album was as good as the songs I knew.

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 10 2024

It's a classic. The music I listen to would be very different without this record. I'm really sure what else to say about it.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jul 11 2024

Took a while to get used to the singer. Some of the songs were ok but I got tired of it by the end. A hard rate for me.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jul 12 2024

I don't think this album would change anyone's mind about the Dead. I don't know how well this translates the live experience, but there is a LOT of jamming.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jul 15 2024

Fine. I just didn't connect to it.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jul 16 2024

I just never cared about Jack White post White Stripes. Most of the stuff I heard from him post seemed self indulgent. This wasn't as bad as i was expecting but there's no way i'm putting this on over a White Stripes record.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jul 17 2024

Hova and Takeover are still pretty good. Some of the album cuts were better then i expected. The other singles seemed really dated. I guess if you have more nostalgia for this album then I do. Fine but not great.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jul 18 2024

I didn't mind this, but the only thing that stuck out to me was the cover of Only Love Can Break Your Heart

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jul 19 2024

Good. I remember listening to these songs on road trips growing up.

Suede by Suede
Jul 23 2024

Wasn't on my radar during the Brit Pop era. Fine but nothing really stood out. There are other bands of this time and era that i'd rather listen to.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jul 24 2024

Better then i was expecting. I liked the shoe-gaze guitars.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jul 25 2024

Very 60s. The mountain song was the one that stood out for me. Fine but i don't see listening to it again.

Jul 26 2024

I won't mind the single if it showed up in a sound track or something. I didn't need a whole album of this. I was never a big fan of nu-metal and nothing about this record has changed my mind. Also minus 1 star for that fred durst song.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Jul 29 2024

On the one hand, i was completely uninformed about this artist and this larger genre. It was interesting to be exposed to it. On the other hand, this wasn't really for me. It was quite long and while the production was good I wasn't interested in the lyrics at all.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jul 30 2024

I could see this being someone's favorite prog record. I was just kind of bored by it.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jul 31 2024

Better then I remember it. Wasn't a big fan in the 90s. A good listen if a little long.

1999 by Prince
Aug 01 2024

The first 4 songs were pretty great. My interest went downhill after that to just wanting it to be done by the end. Not really sure how to rate this.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Aug 02 2024

Slower paced then i was expecting. Fine, I just don't think i'll listen to it again.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Aug 06 2024

I enjoyed having it on. No one song really stood out to me. I do love that organ sound.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Aug 07 2024

The first half was better then their other album. The last 4 or 5 songs were rough.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Aug 08 2024

Big theater kid energy. Like listening to a musical soundtrack for something you've never wanted to watch.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Aug 09 2024

This was all over the place. Some of these songs don't even sound like their from the same band. I didn't connect to it at all.

Real Life by Magazine
Aug 13 2024

Good listen. A good blend of punk and art rock.

Fun House by The Stooges
Aug 14 2024

I think Raw Power is still my favorite of theirs. This is still a great album and is an easy 5 stars for me.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Aug 15 2024

I like and dislike Pink Floyd. While I probably won't listen to this again anytime soon, I can see why this album is on the list.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Aug 16 2024

Live albums are usually for hardcore fans. This didn't change my mind. I prefer the studio versions of the cheap trick songs I like. Not bad, just not great.

Aug 19 2024

This was a good listen. Maybe not as good as Different Class, but close

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Aug 20 2024

Good sad girl music. To much of it by the end.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Aug 21 2024

Just wasn't for me.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Aug 22 2024

It was ok. I don't see listening to this again or why this band was on the list more than once.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Aug 23 2024

I though the title track was good when I first heard it. Not a fan of the other singles or the rest of the album.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Aug 26 2024

Not my favorite P-Funk album. It was fun hearing where some of the samples came from. Not sure if i'd listen to it again.

Kala by M.I.A.
Aug 27 2024

That was a lot of work to get to the Paper Planes song. Everything else on this album blurs together into noise soup. Paper Planes is still great.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 28 2024

I love his first 3 albums. This is a great album.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Aug 30 2024

Wonder what this French guy is talking about? Looked it up on wiki, this is an even weirder album then I thought. I guess musically ok, but I'm not going to listen to it again.

Doolittle by Pixies
Sep 02 2024

An easy 5 stars. A great record and you can hear it's influence on a lot of 90s bands.

Django Django by Django Django
Sep 03 2024

Better then i was expecting. I'd listen to this again.

Tical by Method Man
Sep 04 2024

Not my genre. I think what he does well is overshadowed by the sheer amount of it. Not a big change between songs on this record.

Parklife by Blur
Sep 06 2024

Seemed like they were messy with a lot of different ideas on this one. Not bad, but it's not high on my re-listen list.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 10 2024

There's a lot on this album. Some of it was good and some of it was skip able. I don't see me listening to this whole album again.

Sep 12 2024

I'm not much of a jazz person. This was better then i expected. Wasn't bad to have on. Probably won't listen to it again.

Woodface by Crowded House
Sep 13 2024

Just bland. Wasn't the worst thing we've listened to.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Sep 18 2024

They all have great voices. I just wish there were some faster/more upbeat songs. It was fine, probably won't listen to it again.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Sep 19 2024

I think I liked Trans-Europe Express better. Still a good listen.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Sep 20 2024

This wasn't bad. I'd need to be in the mood for low key and mellow to listen to it again.

Sep 23 2024

Some of the songs had a good groove. I got annoyed by the talking.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Sep 24 2024

There's so much Tom Waits on this list. about the same as all the others.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Sep 25 2024

Kind of mixed. I don't think i'd listen to this again.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Sep 26 2024

This was the PJ Harvey I knew. Good loud guitar music.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Sep 27 2024

Got real chatty. Maybe it was funny at the time. The rest of the record is generic 60s.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Oct 01 2024

Sounded of it's time. Wasn't bad though.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Oct 02 2024

I guess i'm more used to Kate Bush. Seemed less weird then the other 2 we did. I'd give it another listen.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 03 2024

Didn't know as many songs as i did with Born to run. Didn't hit quite as hard a Nebraska. Still a good listen.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Oct 04 2024

Like listening to a good Bowie album I didn't know about.

Tago Mago by Can
Oct 10 2024

Not sure how to rate this. When they could find the groove, this was a great record. When they couldn't, it was a rough listen.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Oct 11 2024

I mean it started out with some good fuzzy garage rock. Then it was just weird 60's psychedelic garbage.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Oct 14 2024

I went from finding this bland to actively disliking it at track 4. I hope there's no more of this band on the list.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Oct 15 2024

Felt dated. I don't hear this style of rapping any more.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Oct 16 2024

I still like the singles. I tended to like the tracks with features more then the other ones. I think i'd just listen to the singles instead of listening to this whole record.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Oct 17 2024

I liked Groove Thang. The rest of the album really scratched an 80s itch for me.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Oct 18 2024

Sounds like something I would have listened to in 2009. A good mellow listen.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Oct 21 2024

Crucify is a really good song. This album isn't for me. Just like it wasn't for me when i was in high school. I did appreciate it more on this listen.

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 22 2024

I guess Green Light was ok. Didn't really connect with this album. Was mostly annoyed by it at the end.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Oct 23 2024

I remember the hip hop nerds in college being really into this band. Golden was the only song i knew going it. This album wasn't a bad listen, maybe a little long.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Oct 24 2024

Seemed like an album designed for hardcore fans. There wasn't an easy entry point for me. Even the singles weren't good on ramps to the rest of the album.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Oct 25 2024

Didn't mind this. Not sure if this is the original Stepping Stone but it was a good version.

Faust IV by Faust
Oct 28 2024

That's a lot of prog.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Oct 29 2024

This didn't seem to age well. Even the singles seemed tired at this point.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 30 2024

Wasn't my thing. I don't think I've liked any of his stuff as much as I like Red Right Hand.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Oct 31 2024

I'm not super into jam bands but this really worked for me. Some quality organ sound. Some really good guitars. Even in the longer jam sessions, they never felt 'lost'.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Nov 01 2024

I've listened to a lot of the Pogues over the years. I prefer the faster songs to the slower songs.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Nov 04 2024

This is a weird mix of genres. While interesting, it didn't really work for me. This was an ok record.

Nov 05 2024

Listening to this in my office probably wasn't what was intended. This was ok, but I don't see listening to it again.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Nov 06 2024

I was just kind of bored by it. The few songs i know, I know better versions of.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Nov 07 2024

Good Day is a classic. Wasn't a bad album, maybe a little long.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Nov 11 2024

Got too twangy for me

Nov 12 2024

Better then i remembered. I'd still need to be in the right mood to put it on.

Nov 18 2024

Not as self-indulgent and excessive as some of the other prog records on the list. I liked the first and last song a lot more the middle song.

OK by Talvin Singh
Nov 19 2024

This was not a good record for me. Indian jazz mixed with dance music isn't something i'm going to revisit.

Nov 20 2024

An interesting mix of covers. I'm trying to remember how much I liked Hurt before it became over played. Some these songs really work, but I think I'd listen to a few songs again instead of the whole album.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Nov 21 2024

I really liked this. Noisy and loud. Sounded like what music was when i was in high school.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Nov 22 2024

This might be the gold standard for getting down music. That lead single knows what's about to happen.

The La's by The La's
Nov 26 2024

I just knew the one song from a hundred soundtracks. This was better then i was expecting.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 27 2024

I knew a lot of these songs. I guess this is the 'pop' Springsteen album. Plus one star for 'I'm on Fire' which is great.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Nov 28 2024

I've never liked his voice. His popularity confuses me.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Nov 29 2024

Didn't connect with this at all.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Dec 03 2024

This was a hard listen. At it's best I could hear it's influence on NIN and some other 90s bands.

Signing Off by UB40
Dec 04 2024

Didn't mind it in the background.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Dec 05 2024

A boring folk record. There's a lot of Buckley on this list

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Dec 06 2024

I listened to this after Frontier Psychiatrist came out. I remember not liking the record, maybe I was expecting 12 Frontier Psychiatrists. This is much more of a vibes record. As weird as Frontier Psychiatrist it's really the only stand alone song. I enjoyed this listen a lot more. I might have to revisit this again.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Dec 09 2024

A sound track to a movie I should have watched. Wasn't a bad listen, but i don't think i'll revisit it.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Dec 10 2024

Not sure how to rate this. I can hear the skill but I don't see listening to it again.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Dec 11 2024

Some quality 80s pop. I still love "We Got the Beat"

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Dec 13 2024

I thought this band was so cool in 97. Some great tracks on this like Boys Better, Junkie, and Holiday. I don't remember the spacey instrumentals but over all this lives up to my memories of it.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Dec 18 2024

I only knew Pretty in Pink. This was better then I expected. Dumb Waiters was a stand out track for me.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Dec 19 2024

I knew more songs off of this then I thought. Pretty good, between a 3 and a 4 depending on my mood.

The White Room by The KLF
Dec 20 2024

Maybe this was better in 91 at a rave in a field in the middle of England. But it's pretty boring now.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Dec 23 2024

Seemed generic and then "Student Demonstration Time" is one of the worst Beach boys songs i've heard. "Feel Flows" is the only good part of this album.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Dec 24 2024

Fine. "Solsbury Hill" was the only song i knew going in and it was the only real stand out.

Who's Next by The Who
Dec 25 2024

Better then i was expecting. It seemed to have all the Who songs I like.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Dec 26 2024

Fine. Wasn't a big fan of his voice.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Dec 27 2024

I guess Dirty is still listenable. Probably has more to do with Redman. The rest of this album is rough. I'm sure she's a good singer but these songs feel so cookie cutter.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Dec 30 2024

I thought of Dury as a one song wonder. Nothing on this album changed my mind.

90 by 808 State
Jan 01 2025

Dance music is so weird to rate. I obviously didn't listen to this in the correct environment. It was fine.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Jan 02 2025

I liked her voice. The music wasn't my thing.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Jan 03 2025

I was in the right mood to listen to this. Good harmonies and an easy style. Reminded me of that CSNY record.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jan 06 2025

I guess this was a good version of this music. It all seemed the same to me and I was bored by the end.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jan 07 2025

Took a little to get used to her voice. A good punk record overall.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Jan 08 2025

Wasn't into it.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jan 09 2025

better then i was expecting. don't think i'd revisit it.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jan 10 2025

It was ok. Didn't really connect for me like his first 3 albums. It was lacking energy for me.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Jan 13 2025

Felt generic and like the gimmick of Cooper was doing most of the work. There's a lot of classic rock on this list that i'd listen to before revisiting this album.

Jan 15 2025

There's definitely some talent here. When the drum and bass would hit a groove, it was very impressive. I didn't care for the vocal or lyrics. I was also worn out by the end of it.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jan 16 2025

I should have listened to this earlier. I really enjoyed this album.

The Slider by T. Rex
Jan 17 2025

Between a 3 and a 4 for me. Rounding up because i've been harsh lately.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 20 2025

Has most of the Peter songs I know. The singles hold up but I don't think i'd listen to the whole album again. The video for Sledgehammer is still quite good.

Jan 21 2025

It's hard to rate dance music. This came out in a window in the 90s where edm was breaking through in the US. I still remember the singles from this album. I'd listen to this again.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jan 22 2025

Another good record by Belle and Sebastian. Good harmonies, good word play.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 23 2025

It was good to hear Rio and Wolf again. The rest of the album was fine.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jan 24 2025

Yes, it's juvenile and has some lines to don't hold up. Still love this record. Love the layered samples and the craziness of the early Beastie Boys.

No Other by Gene Clark
Jan 27 2025

Nothing really stood out to me. Didn't mind having it on.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jan 28 2025

I watched the documentary about this band and ended it with a deep dislike for them. This album didn't change my mind. As with the music I heard in the documentary, they sound like a worse version of bands I like.

Night Life by Ray Price
Jan 29 2025

Didn't do much for me. Maybe it was the hottest thing in '63.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 31 2025

The first half of this album is amazing. The second half is fine to good, but no where near as good as the first half. Some true classics on this record.

Feb 03 2025

I started not liking his voice, then being ok with it, to liking it by the end. I should definitely listen to this again. Between a 3 and a 4. Rounding up.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Feb 04 2025

I really don't know why this one on the list. Forgettable trash.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Feb 05 2025

This was a rough listen. If you want an experimental 60 album where they just got a sitar, this is for you.

Feb 10 2025

There wasn't a change between songs. There didn't seem to be much of a change between notes. I'd be annoyed if this was the background music in an airport.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Feb 11 2025

Good energy. A great way to start a week. I think i have Sex Beat on a couple of playlists.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Feb 12 2025

I like her voice. I'm not sure if she's the first person to do some of these songs but I liked her versions.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 13 2025

Kind of a poppy classic rock album. A little long.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Feb 14 2025

It was done well. There was just so much of it. I was tired of the whole thing by the end.

I See You by The xx
Feb 17 2025

I listened to this when it came out. I'd say I enjoyed it more on this listen. Their first album is still better.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 18 2025

Not even a fan and I knew every song on this album. A band at the top of their game. A classic

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Feb 19 2025

I disliked more then I liked. It seemed cheap when he dropped into generic metal voice.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Feb 20 2025

This came out when a lot of bands sounded like the Strokes. Still sounds like the Strokes. It was fine but there's better bands with this sound.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Feb 21 2025

Good 90s punk. I enjoyed when the horn section showed up.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Feb 24 2025

I liked the first song, got bored after that.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Feb 25 2025

Maybe not my favorite versions of some of these songs, but the whole record had good energy to it. The last two tracks were a bit self indulgent and I wish i had skipped them.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Feb 26 2025

I got lost in the jam band of it all. Wasn't my thing.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Feb 27 2025

So generic and boring. Maybe i should have listened to it in french.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Feb 28 2025

Largely forgettable. Even the singles didn't stand out.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 03 2025

This was an interesting record. It really branches out from what I expect from a punk or post punk record. I'd go 5 but at some point this made me feel jittery. Not even sure what song it started on.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 04 2025

This was fine. Don't think i'd listen to it again.

Cut by The Slits
Mar 05 2025

It's been awhile since I listened to this. Was a really good listen. Typical Girls is a great stand out track. The bonus track cover of Grapevine really works.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Mar 06 2025

Good music to work to. Enjoyed having this on. I already had Organ Donor on a couple of playlists.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Mar 07 2025

I really disliked her voice. I never got used to it.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Mar 10 2025

I'm just here for the guitar and drums. Which moved at a speed so fast I worried about the players. The lyrics and vocals were the low point.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Mar 11 2025

She has an ok voice but i just wasn't interested in the songs. The interludes were distracting.

More Specials by The Specials
Mar 12 2025

Not my favorite Specials album, but I love 2 Tone. I love this sound. I'd rather listen to this then most of the albums on this list.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Mar 13 2025

Sounds like 90s hacking music.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Mar 14 2025

Reminded me a lot of Bob Dylan. It was fine but I'm not going to relisten.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Mar 17 2025

It has one or two weak songs, but most of this album has songs I sing along to whenever i hear them. Blister, Kiss off, Add it up, and Gone Daddy are all mixtape or playlist staples. I'm not even sure how many times I've listened to this over the years.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Mar 18 2025

Had some good songs but not on my re-listen list. Really like Sir Duke.

Mar 19 2025

I didn't like this style of rapping. The songs themselves were boring and about boring people.

Elastica by Elastica
Mar 20 2025

Re-discovered this over lockdown. It's a really fun listen. Wish the band could have keep it together long enough to put out a good second album instead of what they put out.

Mar 21 2025

Not my favorite Husker Du album. A little long. Maybe a band on the verge of dissolving comes through to much on this album. Still I enjoyed this more on this listen. Could You Be the One? is a great song.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Mar 24 2025

They were going for something, I'm just not sure what.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Mar 25 2025

It was kind of novel to listen to a pre-disco Bee Gees. This is just a middle of the road pop album.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Mar 26 2025

A hard one. It keep my interest but had a few real low points like Thriller. Between a 3 and a 4.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Mar 27 2025

I liked this. Good 90s sound. Wasn't sure what i was expecting but this was better then that.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Mar 28 2025

Not for me.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Mar 31 2025

I like this but it's not my favorite White Stripes album. It doesn't have a stand out like 7 Nation or Fell in Love. It also loses steam at the end.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 01 2025

An interesting post punk album I enjoyed as a whole.

Arise by Sepultura
Apr 04 2025

As with the other records of this genre, it's all about the drums and guitars. Not sure why, this felt more generic then some of the other metal records. The MotorHead cover was the best song of the album.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Apr 07 2025

A lot of radio hits on this. I know most of these from road trips with my dad.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Apr 08 2025

I really liked the title track. The rest of the album was fine.

Arular by M.I.A.
Apr 09 2025

Junk. Didn't even have the plane song.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Apr 10 2025

Maybe this was better at the time. Seemed like generic R&B now. I'd be happy to never hear the waterfall song again.

Apr 11 2025

It's still weird to me that they stitched two solo albums together and called it an Outkast album. It's a really long album that highlights why they are better together then apart. The Andre 3000 half gets really boring after Hey Ya.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Apr 15 2025

They were always a gimmick. Maybe more of a parody then a tribute. All that being said Thing Called Love is a pretty good song. The rest of the album was fine.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Apr 16 2025

Better then i was expecting. I liked the changing nature of the album.

Not sure if it was the recording or the speakers I'm using but the harmonica on this hit painful levels for me. I guess the second half was better because less harmonica.

1977 by Ash
Apr 22 2025

Big 90s / Britpop feel to it. I'm probably including an extra star out of nostalgia.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 24 2025

Another good Neil Young album. Not sure if i had a favorite track, but I was pleasantly surprised by Sedan Delivery

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Apr 25 2025

The music was pretty good. The lyrics were pretty bad.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Apr 28 2025

I warmed up to it. Not a relisten for me though.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Apr 29 2025

I will never understand the rap skit and this album had a lot of them. Whatever I found interesting about this album was quickly buried by cliches and the a bulk of boring tracks.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Apr 30 2025

This wasn't bad. The band really started to cook on the last track.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 02 2025

Been a while since i've listened to this. Better then I remember it being. Karen O was really cooking on this.

Protection by Massive Attack
May 05 2025

Second Massive Attack album. Another good time.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
May 06 2025

I don't remember liking this when it came out. Enjoyed it a lot more on this listen.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
May 07 2025

Was better then i was expecting from an experimental noise album. Not something i'd seek out again.

May 08 2025

The version i listened to had Gary Gilmore's Eyes, which is a favorite of mine. Good 70s punk. High energy. Couple of low points but overall a good listen.

Document by R.E.M.
May 09 2025

Enjoyed this all the way through. I know End of the World was everywhere for a while but I still like it.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
May 12 2025

A whole album of bad covers. Didn't need any of this.

New Wave by The Auteurs
May 13 2025

Good... Never really great for me. Couldn't tell you why.

Guero by Beck
May 15 2025

Better then I was expecting. I hadn't listened to much of Beck past Odelay.

May 16 2025

Reminded me a lot of Deja Vu by CSNY but wasn't as good for me. It was fine to have on. At it's best it made me want to listen to CSNY instead.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
May 19 2025

Didn't like the lead singer's voice. Most of the music felt generic. There were a couple of tracks that hit a good groove.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
May 20 2025

This is an outstanding record.

Murmur by R.E.M.
May 21 2025

This was great. I should listen to this album more often. Radio Free Europe is a favorite of mine.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 22 2025

I had some nostalgia for the singles. Overall, i just didn't connect to this album.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
May 29 2025

I don't have any reference for this music. Maybe this is the best example of this genre. I just didn't like it. All the songs felt the same and I was happy when it was over.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
May 30 2025

Deep country twang on this. Wasn't for me. No tracks really stood out.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jun 02 2025

Better then i was expecting.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jun 03 2025

What is this? It's mostly trash. I thought the title track was good. "The Adventures of Grandmaster" was a look into what club hip hop sounded like at the time. Just skip everything else and listen to the title track.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Jun 04 2025

This is a great record. The rhythm section really works for me. Almost a groove under all that punk energy. Have listened before, will listen again.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 05 2025

A hard rate for me. I was never into this as much as everyone else was. I'm good with never hearing the Sept song again. Still it's better then a lot of the 3s i've given.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 06 2025

Seemed more rock then some of their later albums. A pretty good listen.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jun 10 2025

Fine. A little long and slower then i was looking for.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jun 11 2025

I liked this. An interesting experimental 60s sound to it.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jun 12 2025

Fourth Talking Heads album so far. Still great. Life During Wartime is an awesome song.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jun 13 2025

Thought Photograph wasn't bad. The rest of the album has all the worst excesses of this genre. If you didn't like hair metal going in, this album will not change your mind.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 16 2025

Dead Leaves and Fell in Love are both great songs. A good listen.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jun 17 2025

This one surprised me. I rarely listen to one of these twice in a row. It really hit a good spot for me. I look forward to a third listen.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jun 19 2025

Dark, Moody. A crazy isolated drum sound. An album cover design I've seen so many times on Tshirts. Just a classic for me. If you're looking for the bridge between punk and Goth, it starts here.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 20 2025

I've never liked her voice. I've tried this album before and bounced off of it. I liked some of the songs with less vocals this time.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Jun 23 2025

Surprisingly good. I thought it was more folk then country. I really liked her voice on this. Weird Dave Matthews duet at the end.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jun 24 2025

The first two singles were pretty good. The rest of the album is what I would expect from Elton John.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jun 25 2025

An ok folk album. Nothing really stuck out to me.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jun 26 2025

Sounded like a 70s sci fi film score.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jun 27 2025

I liked a couple of the tracks but it seemed like it had a lot of filler. There's probably a great 30 minute album in there somewhere.

Jun 30 2025

I mean they were my new favourite band for awhile. They mostly do that one thing but they do it pretty well. Good jumping around music.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jul 01 2025

Kind of bland. A little long and slower then i was looking for.

Jul 02 2025

She had a nice voice but I just didn't connect to the music. Would be great to hear her sing a different genre.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Jul 03 2025

Some decent 90s brit pop. Between a 3 and a 4 for me.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Jul 04 2025

Such a wonderfully weird record. A thoroughly enjoyable experimental proto-punk album It's strange to think they were active in Germany at the same time the Beatles were.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jul 07 2025

A lot of nostalgia for this band. I like the first half. That's where most of the songs I knew were. Really lost interest in the second half. Songs started to drag.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Jul 08 2025

So that cool punk band broke up and became nerdy Prog Rock. Unimpressed.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jul 10 2025

"Groove Is in the Heart" is super catchy and the video is a great throw back. The rest of the album is ok dance music but never reaches the pop greatness of the single.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jul 14 2025

Better then i was expecting. Clint Eastwood is pretty great.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Jul 15 2025

A good folk album. Probably getting an extra star because i was in the mood for this today.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Jul 16 2025

Garbage. Didn't like her voice. The lyrics were generic. The production was basic. Seemed like they were following a template.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 17 2025

It's fine but not my thing. Thom Yorke's voice is still weird.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Jul 18 2025

This was a good listen. I liked it more then "Heroes to Zeros". Had a similar sound to the 3eps.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jul 21 2025

The songs I liked sounded like CSN. The cowboy country cosplay songs were very skippable. This is a long wandering record that could have used some focus.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jul 22 2025

A great hardcore album. Fast with high energy. I've only listened to this before as part of the Complete Discography release.

Nixon by Lambchop
Jul 23 2025

Didn't like this at all. Never got used to the singer's voice. Found the whole thing bland.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Jul 24 2025

It was weird doing this one so close to Manassas. This was great. I enjoyed it more then Manassas. "Love the One You're With" was a good opener and just a classic song. I had always thought it was a CSN song.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 25 2025

Had a bunch of classic Elvis songs on it and wasn't too long.

Jul 28 2025

I understand why it's on the list. It was everywhere at the time. It just doesn't hold up for me. Real Slim Shady still has some novelty to it.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Jul 29 2025

Went from fine to annoying by the end of this very long record.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Jul 30 2025

The most pop of the 80s glam metal bands. A little to slick. A little too polished. That being said some of those singles bring back good memories.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Aug 01 2025

This was great. Not sure what I was expecting but the combination of post punk and Industrial really worked for me. WarDance was a real stand out for me.

Slayed? by Slade
Aug 04 2025

Pretty standard 70s rock. Wasn't bad.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Aug 05 2025

A lot of Sonic Youth on this list. Like I've said with their other records, much better for me on this listen then when I tried listening to them in the past.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 06 2025

I've listened to these songs so many times. Paul Simon was a staple in my house growing up. Just a classic record for me.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Aug 07 2025

It wasn't my thing. Didn't annoy me enough to skip tracks.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 08 2025

Peak Disco? The title track seems to be everywhere from soundtracks to grocery stores. All this was fine but not something i'm going to listen to again.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Aug 11 2025

I listened to the US version. Paint it Black is a great song. The rest of the album had some highs and lows. Overall enjoyable.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Aug 12 2025

Not really the ZZ Top I think of. I think of more the 80s Eliminator era. This was 70s blues rock. Not a bad listen.

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Aug 13 2025

I liked the small homemade quality of this album. Wasn't something I was expecting. Almost sounded like an album of demos. Would have fit in with the 90s lofi scene.

Illmatic by Nas
Aug 15 2025

Not my thing. None of the tracks really stood out for me.

Aug 18 2025

Seemed more Jazz then rock to me. Didn't do much for me. Song i liked the most was the traditional folk song.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Aug 19 2025

Some solid country pop songs on this. Some might be worth a second listen.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Aug 20 2025

More country then I usually listen to. Grew on me. Liked when Emmylou Harris showed up.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Aug 21 2025

This wasn't the Nick Cave I was expecting. A much more loud and punk record then his later work.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Aug 25 2025

I really disliked her voice.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Aug 26 2025

The last great Arcade Fire album? Sprawl II is great.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Aug 27 2025

It was better then i was expecting. Not sure if i'd listen again.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Aug 28 2025

More on the metal side of the grunge spectrum. Really enjoyed Rooster.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Sep 01 2025

This was very bad.

Sep 02 2025

There were a couple of times where i thought the beats were good.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Sep 03 2025

Two hours of DnB. Wasn't bad but no part of it stuck out to me.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Sep 09 2025

Wasn't working for me. Did not like their covers. Made me wish i was listening to the originals.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Sep 10 2025

3 Kings of Leon records? As good as the rest of them.

Sep 11 2025

I want to like this more then I did. I've tried a couple of different Bragg albums and they don't click with me. This wasn't bad but it's still not my thing.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Sep 12 2025

Not much of a Nu-Metal fan. While this album has some of those issues, something about it just works for me. Maybe it's just nostalgia but this was a good morning listen.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Sep 15 2025

It's fine but not my thing. Thom Yorke's voice is still weird.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Sep 16 2025

This was better with an EDM beat to it. Didn't need a full album of it.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Sep 18 2025

Not a fan of the lead singers voice. Album was fine.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Sep 22 2025

Took a bit to get into it. While I can't name a song, the album had an overall good vibe to it.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Sep 23 2025

This was a really good listen. First time for me hearing the remaster of The Wait. that's good version.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Sep 24 2025

Better then i was expecting. Really liked the song with Gibby Haynes. Probably between a 3 and a 4 for me.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Sep 26 2025

I like Karma Police more then the other Radiohead songs. But over all I liked this album less then the other Radiohead on the list.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Sep 29 2025

Should have read the wiki first. I spent most of the listen wondering why they sounded so much like the Flaming Lips. This was good but I think The Soft Bulletin was the stronger of the two albums.

Third by Portishead
Oct 01 2025

Didn't really know this band before hearing them on this list. I've listened to all their albums now. Probably one of the best parts of doing this list.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 02 2025

Once I got past the singles, this was a grind to listen to.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Oct 03 2025

The singles are exactly what i remember them being. Enjoyable 80s pop. Wasn't as interested in the rest of the album.

The Coral by The Coral
Oct 07 2025

Good not great. Listenable but not worth the re-listen.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Oct 08 2025

Hard time getting through this. Didn't like any of it.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Oct 09 2025

A solid rock record all the way through. Not sure if anything on the album is as good as the title track but a good listen none the less.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Oct 10 2025

It's hard to like music where it's just a guy and a guitar when you don't like the guy's voice.

Homework by Daft Punk
Oct 13 2025

That beat is infectious. I wish they had made more albums.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Oct 14 2025

This holds up surprisingly well. I knew a lot more off this album then i was expecting. Some great pop songs and a Prince cover.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Oct 15 2025

It kind of wonders with the last couple songs, but overall a solid britpop record.

My Generation by The Who
Oct 17 2025

The title track is pretty good. The rest of the album felt generic.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Oct 20 2025

She has a nice voice. Wasn't my favorite type of music and there was a lot of it.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Oct 21 2025

Better then the other 2 Sinatra albums we've listened to. Still don't like Sinatra.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Oct 23 2025

I really like this era of GBV. Between this and Bee Thousand it's hard to pick a favorite. "Game of Pricks" is a stand out and a good place to start.

Bossanova by Pixies
Oct 24 2025

I think every pre-breakup Pixies record is a classic. Good excuse to listen to this one.

D by White Denim
Oct 27 2025

Was alright to have on. Had kind of a jam band feel.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Oct 28 2025

A good dreamy record to have on in the background.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Oct 30 2025

Wasn't a fan of his voice. Found most of the record boring.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Nov 03 2025

The beats seemed simple and uninspired. The lyrics didn't add much. Some real low lows on this one.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 04 2025

A hard one for me. The 3 or 4 singles are all amazing. The rest of the album is very strange.

Vivid by Living Colour
Nov 05 2025

Just wasn't my thing. The first song is all you need. It just got tiring after that.

2112 by Rush
Nov 06 2025

You like Rush or you don't. Nothing about this album changed my mind.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Nov 07 2025

I guess if you're looking for a mid 2000's blues album sung in a language you don't speak...

White Ladder by David Gray
Nov 10 2025

Didn't like this when it came out. Was a better listen then I was expecting, but its still not great.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Nov 11 2025

I'm not agrueing that Mariah has a good voice. This just wasn't an interesting record.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Nov 12 2025

It was mostly instrumental. It was nice to have on but it just faded into the background after a while.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Nov 14 2025

I don't like crooner era Morrissey. Not should how he lost the plot so bad after the smiths.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Nov 19 2025

Just wasn't feeling it. Nothing really grabbed me.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Nov 20 2025

This just rocked. Good fast energy the whole album. Even enjoyed the extra long My Generation.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Nov 21 2025

Seemed like a move away from their Ska roots but some really catching songs on this. Our House, even thought its been overplayed. is still a favorite of mine.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Nov 24 2025

Took a couple of songs for me to warm to this. Ended up liking it.

Skylarking by XTC
Nov 25 2025

Seemed a little bland. Except for Dear God which was my favorite on the album. Seems weird it wasn't included on the initial pressing.

London Calling by The Clash
Nov 26 2025

I really like this record. It's been on heavy rotation several times.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Nov 27 2025

It's a big change from the Stooges. I could definitely hear the Bowie influence. Post-punk Iggy is still enjoyable.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 28 2025

Enjoyable blues rock. Seemed like they were trying hard for a retro sound.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Dec 02 2025

What is this one hit wonder novelty act doing on this list?

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Dec 03 2025

A bit of a dreamy sound track. Didn't mind having it on.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Dec 04 2025

There's a lot on this album. I'd have enjoyed a more focused version.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Dec 05 2025

Wasn't feeling the Jazz/Disco thing.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Dec 08 2025

This might be the best of this genre, I just couldn't connect with it.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Dec 09 2025

A good 60 rock record. It was at it's best for me when it started to sound like CSN.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Dec 10 2025

Better then i expected. A fun psychedelic record

Traffic by Traffic
Dec 11 2025

Pretty good 60s record.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Dec 12 2025

Very slow. I aggressively disliked this.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Dec 15 2025

I started to think differently about this band after listening to this album for the first time. A favorite of mine.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Dec 16 2025

This was a strange blend of world music and early hip hop. I could have done without the fake call in show bits. As strange as it was, it kept my interest.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Dec 17 2025

It was ok when it leaned more into the hard rock side. It's super polished to the point of being over polished. The balleds really kill the momentum for me and brought this down from a 3 to a 2.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Dec 18 2025

80s hair metal combined with occasional rapping. It didn't work for me, but hopefully it works for someone.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Dec 19 2025

Not really my thing but she has a good voice.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Dec 22 2025

Felt generic to me.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Dec 23 2025

It was alright but not great.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Dec 24 2025

It's a slow country record and I wanted to skip most of the songs.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Dec 25 2025

Wasn't a bad listen

Faith by George Michael
Dec 29 2025

A couple of classic pop songs and a lot of junk.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Dec 30 2025

Still not a fan of Janis Joplin, but I liked this better then Pearl.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Dec 31 2025

Better then i was expecting. "Run to the Hills" is pretty catchy.

Electric by The Cult
Jan 02 2026

Solid 80s rock. Hit the spot for me today.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jan 05 2026

Some fun funk songs. not sure if i'd listen again.

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Jan 06 2026

I really liked her voice. The cover of Sweet Jane might be better then the original. A good album for a grey Monday.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jan 07 2026

It doesn't show much of what they would become. Still its a good collection of simple pop songs.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jan 08 2026

This was a good folk record. Better then i was expecting.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Jan 09 2026

A by the number Brit-pop album. Perfectly fine but nothing stood out. So why is this 3 star album getting 4 stars. This is our last album and we all got together to listen to it. Album 3, Experience 5.
