Savane by Ali Farka Touré

I sincerely wish I could play guitar as well as Ali. A fantastic album and introduction to African blues/guitar. The layering of instruments is enchanting, and everything from melody to accompaniment feels absolutely fresh and interesting.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

I'd rather chew on aluminum foil than listen to morrissey.

Who's Next by The Who
Jan 04 2022

Ugh. Hard Pass.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jan 06 2022

Garage rock gold, not exactly my cup of tea. Nice hooks, great drumming, what more could one ask for?

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 07 2022

Definitely noise pop, definitely ok.

Melodrama by Lorde
Jan 09 2022

I find that the songs run the risk of same-iness, but is also has perfect places, so... you know, it's not all bad.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 11 2022

If you enjoy pop punk, this is a classic slice of fried gold. If you're me, the hits are nice enough and everything else is over quick.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jan 12 2022

I enjoyed the stripped down sound of the album. Not a big stones fan, so I found it to drag on a bit.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jan 13 2022

I sincerely wish I could play guitar as well as Ali. A fantastic album and introduction to African blues/guitar. The layering of instruments is enchanting, and everything from melody to accompaniment feels absolutely fresh and interesting.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jan 14 2022

I feel like I'm too stupid to understand or appreciate this album hahaha

Low by David Bowie
Jan 15 2022

Atmospheric. Definitely an album that'll get better the more listens you give it.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Jan 17 2022

It's not my cup of tea, dig the funkiness of it, but that's pretty much it.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Jan 19 2022

Definitely a 90's Electronica album. I enjoyed the atmosphere it built, but found that the songs usually blended together into white noise after a bit.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jan 21 2022

Listen. It has the biggest hits, and my personal fav, "Country Honk". I may not be a Stones fan, I'm also not an idiot.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 23 2022

The production is great. I find myself surprised due to TRHCP actually have varied songs. TIL

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jan 29 2022

After all these years, the tones on that album sound super fresh, a fun album from start to finish!

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Jan 30 2022

I'm pretty sure if you hang out at hot topic, are making a sexy vampire thriller, or LARP, this album is for you. otherwise, it's kind of eh

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jan 31 2022

I'd rather chew on aluminum foil than listen to morrissey.

Feb 07 2022

The thing about Prog rock is that while the musicianship is quite amazing, it too often requires one to put up with over indulgence. This is pretty self indulgent.

Feb 08 2022

All(most) all the hits are here! well produced, and tight musicianship made this a surprising delight to listen to.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Feb 09 2022

Noise/garage rock the brings up tastes of Black Flag and Iggy. Hooky, noise and all around enjoyable.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Feb 12 2022

Synthy and wavey goodness, though I find the album to not be all that engaging.

All Directions by The Temptations
Feb 15 2022

This album is timeless, and shows the absolute staying power the Temptations have in the American canon. absolutely stunning.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 16 2022

Passionate yet austere. Fantastically arranged and while it can sometimes fall into the same-iness factor that edm/electronica is prone too, each track has a firm separate identity.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Feb 18 2022

As much as I've enjoyed the "hits" of Madonna, never did I think I'd enjoy a whole album. TIL.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Feb 20 2022

I can't fathom putting out something as powerful ,and beautiful before I died. Truly a testament to his mastery of song.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Feb 27 2022
Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Feb 28 2022

To me, the melody and hooks of many of the songs tend to be hidden by an excessive amount of effects. Generally, this type of music and arrangement is right up my alley, and listening to this album I more often than not found myself bored.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Mar 01 2022

This soundtrack pretty much sets the bar any soundtrack after it, and after enough listens, it's understandable why so many other movie soundtracks fail to make the cut.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Mar 02 2022

I wish I liked the stones more, to me it's just more of the same.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Mar 03 2022

A beautiful and weird album. You obviously have the hits, and while that's often enough to carry any album, this album not only delivers on the above but makes sure every track is a fun and unique journey.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 05 2022

It's amazing that such an album exists. Darkly cynical, the grooves a hynpotic and yet you rarely feel at ease.

Mar 08 2022

It's got some of the biggest hits, and for the most part it's pretty solid alternative prog rock.

Forever Changes by Love
Mar 09 2022

A cynical folk album that definitely sounds like the 60's. It's alright.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 12 2022
Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Mar 21 2022
25 by Adele
Mar 22 2022
Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Mar 23 2022

slice of 90's fired gold, great writing, just a solid record start to finish.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Mar 24 2022

I have to give it up where credits due, this album kicks ass.
