Moving Pictures by Rush
Jan 18 2022

This is very 80s. Wow they can have a track that's 10 mins long. No wonder Coheed and Cambria were inspired by this.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 19 2022

This brings back so many memories of my angst-ridden and disaffected yout--after all, a cute boy who played the guitar in my high school introduced Nirvana to me. Sort of. It was one of the bands that got me through those tough teenage years, to be honest. When I was sad, I would blast some of these songs from this album to drown the world out or to imagine screaming the lyrics of these songs. This band is punk rock and I am still, deep inside, very punk rock too. I love this band and their sick riffs, their lyricism, and the fact that Polly is an anti-rape anthem. But upon second listening for this project, I realised that I missed out on a lot of good songs. Apart from my favourites, like Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, and obviously Polly, I'm also surprised by the slower song, Something In The Way. I wasn't educated with knowledge of music, so I can only comment on the fact that Nirvana has always had a very distinct sound and style that gave the band its identity. Other pluses tangentially related to the album include: Kurt Cobain being a feminist and always trying to stand up to do the right thing. I hope he's resting in peace. 5/5

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jan 21 2022

I tried reading up on why this man is such a big deal, and it's explained. Kind of. But I don't like how the songs sound and I kind of stopped listening after the third track. This doesn't appeal to me. Sorry.

This is very 80s, very Bowie. He's one of those rockstars that you have to know, simply because of his outfits, and other technical bits about his music that I don't know about because I'm not music educated. Sorry. The famous songs are Ziggy Stardust, obviously, and Moonage Daydream, but I liked getting to know the other songs, even if I didn't quite understand what they mean. An overall consistent sound that has its place in the Hall of Rock.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Jan 26 2022

I had no idea that this band existed, and that a few musicians from several bands (most notably from The Arctic Monkeys) had a hand in recording it. For the most part, I enjoyed the songs as they reminded me of certain bands like The Kooks. Favourite tracks include Standing Next To Me and My Mistakes Were Made For You cause I am basic.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jan 27 2022

Sorry, I don't like country music.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jan 31 2022

Aerosmith sounds like, well, Aerosmith. I know it's not saying much, but their sounds are great and I'd put this on when I don't know what to listen.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Feb 01 2022

Not my thing. I don't know why it's on the list. Maybe I have poor taste. Sorry!

Illmatic by Nas
Feb 03 2022

Not bad; it surprised me because I thought hip-hop was always about getting girls and money. I think I'd have to listen again to focus more on the lyrics, though.

The Score by Fugees
Feb 07 2022

I don't understand this, but it's different. I would have to listen to more to get the hang of it.

Document by R.E.M.
Feb 08 2022

Some songs sound like they should be on a country album, and not on an album of one of the greatest rock bands. However, the tracks that made up for it were my jam, so this events out to 4/5 stars.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 14 2022

I love this band! Each track is distinct and reminds me of a time when I was in university and the world seemed full of possibilities. Karen's voice is awesome, and every track in this album is cohesive and perfect. I'd almost forgotten that this band existed, so this is a good reminder to have this album on rotation, especially when I feel down.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 15 2022

I like this album and I'm happy that I got acquainted with his other songs. I would check out his discography as well.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Feb 18 2022

They're pretty good. Very 60s. I didn't know they were the ones who composed many songs that are still used in pop culture today.

Kid A by Radiohead
Feb 21 2022

I have no idea how to review this album. It's unlike most of the Radiohead stuff I heard and the instrumentals are wonderful.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Feb 22 2022

This is a very typical Bob Dylan sound and yes, his voice sounds like sandpaper. This really widens my music repertoire and I'm glad I got to know his work.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Feb 23 2022

What is this???? I don't understand this at all. I disliked the repetition of words in the first track and that put me off the rest of the album. I'm not a stranger to eletronica but this is too out of left field for me.

Medúlla by Björk
Feb 24 2022

I don't understand this but it's artistic in its own way, I guess?

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 28 2022

I love this band and I love their songs. I like that their sound is consistent.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Mar 01 2022

I love this album, and I love Alanis Morissette, so this is going to be a biased review. There is something distinct about her sound and vocals that makes her stand out. Even if I'd never heard some tracks before, I'd know it's her because she's just that unique. Apart from the classic Ironic, all the other tracks are worth listening to too.

Mar 02 2022

This is pretty OK. Sorry I don't have anything more intelligent to say.
