Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 05 2022

Took me by surprise how much I enjoyed it.

Forever Changes by Love
Jan 06 2022

A little too mellow for my taste, but the album flowed very smoothly. Relaxing music, hadn't heard of this band before. Favorite track: Alone Again Or

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jan 07 2022

Nice folk rock. I had only heard White Rabbit previously. Solid Album. Favorite Tracks: She Has Funny Cars, My Best Friend

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jan 08 2022

A very interesting album. Never cared for sampling, but this album uses it well. Some very artistic songs, but my main complaint is that it sort of dragged on. Favorite songs: Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt, Midnight In A Perfect World

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jan 09 2022

Not my kind of music, it all sort of blurred together. I'm sure I would have liked it more if I understood Spanish. Favorite Track: Plastico

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jan 10 2022

I liked it, an interesting album. Some parts were stranger than others (particularly in the last song). It was nice to listen to as background. Favorite Song: Tubular Bells, Pt. I

Jan 11 2022

Surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Not to judge a book by its cover, but I didn't think I'd like this album, having never heard of this group. Definitely sounds like a 90's album, giving me Green Day or Weezer vibes. Giving it 4 stars, the second side was a little more lackluster compared to the first, and the album as a whole did blur together. Favorite Songs: Cut Your Hair, Unfair, Silence Kid, Gold Soundz

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jan 12 2022

Been giving a lot of albums a 4 lately, so why not. A pretty enjoyable album, had heard some songs by The Monkees but none from this album. I’m a sucker for more simple uppity songs, and though the Monkees may have never reached the artistic level of the Beatles or the Beach Boys, a solid album. Favorite songs: Forget That Girl, I Can’t Get Her Off My Mind, Randy Scouse Git, Zilch

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jan 13 2022

Didn't stand out too much to me. The album overall sounded pretty good, but it all sort of blended together. Still some great moments though. Favorite Songs: Debonair, My Curse, Brother Woodrow

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jan 14 2022

Juvenile for the sake of being juvenile. Feels like music for kids that don't have a taste in music yet and want to pretend they do. It all blurred together as loud without any good reason for being loud. The vocals were eh and the lyrics were worse.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 17 2022

A great album, not much else to say. Hadn’t heard any of the songs from this album, but it was a good listen. Favorite Songs: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Moonlight Mile

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jan 18 2022

I enjoyed the vocals the most, not exactly my type of music, but it was a great album. Favorite Songs: She’s Out of My Life, It’s the Falling in Love

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jan 19 2022

Pretty ok album. Blended together a lot though. Favorite Song: Just Like Honey

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 20 2022

Liked it a lot, despite the cover art making me hesitant. Good vocals, and some really interesting vocals. Favorite Songs: Susan's House, Rags to Rags, Guest List

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jan 21 2022

Liked the vocals, I don't care much for grunge. Still some great parts. Had only heard Black Hole Sun before this and really enjoyed it. Favorite Songs: Black Hole Sun, The Day I Tried to Live, 4th of July.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jan 24 2022

Impressive vocals, fun to listen to. Favorite Songs: Combination of the Two, I Need a Man to Love

Jan 25 2022

The energy and vocals really make this a great live album. Really enjoyable. Favorite Songs: Feel It (Don't Fight It), Twistin' The Night Away, Bring It on Home to Me, Somebody Have Mercy

Hms Fable by Shack
Jan 26 2022

Great album with plenty of songs I thought were really good. The album doesn't seem to be that well known, but it was surprisingly fun. Only complaint is that the second half didn't appeal to me as much as the first. Favorite Songs: Natalie's Party, Comedy, Pull Together, Beautiful, Lend's Some Dough

Achtung Baby by U2
Jan 28 2022

Not my type of music, but it still had some great parts. Favorite Songs: The Fly, Mysterious Ways, Acrobat

Odelay by Beck
Jan 29 2022

Some good ideas, but didn't stand out much too me, and at some times was a bit much, or too boring. Favorite Songs: Devils Haircut, Where It's At, Ramshackle

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Jan 30 2022

Not bad actually. Favorite Songs: Love Song, I Just Can't Be Happy Today, "Smash It Up, Pt. 1 & 2"

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jan 31 2022

I think Dylan's voice has grown on me, a lot of great songs, but still some that I didn't care for. Favorite Songs: Like a Rolling Stone, Ballad of a Thin Man, Queen Jane Approximately, Highway 61 Revisited.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Feb 01 2022

The guitar is great, and the lyrics are better. Most of the songs were hit or miss, with some that are more bland then others. The story telling is the highlight of the album. Favorite Songs: Story of Isaac, A Bunch of Lonesome Heros, "Seems So Long Ago, Nancy"

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Feb 02 2022

I agree with the one review that says "Respectable, but not my type of music". It's very well done, but it's not my type of music. Favorite Songs: Couldn't You Keep That to Yourself, The Part You Throw Away, Purple Avenue, Scope J.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Feb 04 2022

A good album. Don't think I've ever heard of this band before. Favorite Songs: Mr. Soul, Sad Memory, Good Time Boy

Sister by Sonic Youth
Feb 10 2022
American Idiot by Green Day
Feb 13 2022

Tried Green Day before, didn't like it, but I guess today I was into it.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Feb 18 2022
Dry by PJ Harvey

1999 by Prince
Mar 02 2022
Mar 06 2022

that was actually really good. Listened to the deluxe edition cause that’s what it showed, which added some cool songs and alternate versions. The first song felt like one large build, and the pay off made the strange guitar parts well worth it. Didn’t care for the third song as much as the first two but overall a great album.

Apr 06 2022

All the fun songs on the album are brought down by random short songs that all sound the same.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jul 31 2022

Great album, I’ve listened to it plenty of times before. Though I think Summer Days (And Nights) would’ve been a better choice for this list, this is still great.

Elephant by The White Stripes

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Aug 14 2022

Love this album, probably the last great beach boys album. Don’t go near the water and long promised road are great, take a load off your feet is fun. Disney girls is nice and sweet. Student demonstration time was probably my least favorite, just felt nothing like the rest of the album and was pretty bland. A day in the life of a tree and ‘til I die are wonderful. My favorite song is probably surfs up, the lyrics and feel of it are mystical.
