Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jan 25 2022

Nice, just, nice.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jan 26 2022

Enjoyed this one, some vibey songs, especially towards the start of the album. I did get a bit bored as it went on though.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 27 2022

I think I missed my grunge phase growing up! Not my cup of tea...

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jan 28 2022

I'm never sure where to sit with his solo stuff. Christ morissey moans a lot, and there's some dodgy lyrics, but despite that there's a couple of really good songs and I liked this album. Fuck morissey tho!

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 29 2022

This was so good! Energetic, boppy music from start to finish. Loved the vibe and Siouxsie's voice, a few songs have gone straight into my halloween playlist.

American Pie by Don McLean
Jan 30 2022

Way better than I expected 👍🇺🇸

The Score by Fugees
Jan 31 2022

Chef's kiss

Leftism by Leftfield
Feb 02 2022

Not sure about this one. A bit left field for me (ayyy), but it was great background music to code to. A 2 or 3 for me... Also, is that the macarena!!?!?

Solid Air by John Martyn
Feb 03 2022

Wasn't a fan of the first song or the mumbling, but the album got better as it went on, and overall I enjoyed. Some good tunes!

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Feb 05 2022

Most of the songs are so catchy and comical, even if I didn't expect it to be so violent. A great listen.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 06 2022

What an album- some cracking songs and always hits me in the feels. Sooooo gooood!

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Feb 07 2022

Some very nice chill vibes, I just found it a bit lukewarm and couldn't get into it.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Feb 08 2022

Ooooo I liked this, gave me Alanis Morissette vibes. Lots of energy, will def come back to this one.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Feb 09 2022

Two in a row! It's been a fun couple of days discovering PJ Harvey. Rid of me is again full of energy and top notch vocals. I found Rid of me louder and more in your face than Dry, and for that reason a little harder to jam with at first, but still great and I am now cemented as a PJ Harvey fan.

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 11 2022

Oh boi I love this album. There are so many bangers, in fact every single track slaps. It still sounds as great as the first time I heard it. Someday and Modern Age are amazing but Hard to Explain is absolute PERFECTION. All hyped to see them in Spain now

The Undertones by The Undertones
Feb 12 2022

This album was a lot of fun, and Teenage Kicks is very catchy. Some of the songs were annoyingly repetitive, but a good time overall.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Feb 16 2022

Not what I expected from a Madonna album! It had its naff moments, but a few corkers and just generally a good time. I have been singing Ray of light non-stop for the last few days, which might just eek this one to a 4.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 17 2022

Can't stop doing the OOBY DOOBY

Nowhere by Ride
Feb 18 2022

This was cool, I liked Vapour Trail and Polar Bear. Didn't strike me as anything special tho

Feb 24 2022

When I saw the cover I feared the worst, but I actually thought this was pretty good! Catchy songs, and though the music was very samey, the stories kept coming. Yeehaw

Feb 26 2022

OK this was v good, exactly like I imagined a queen album would be. It did slow down a bit, and nothing else could hit the height of killer queen, but tbf that's a high bar and the album was a lot of fun.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Mar 01 2022

Sorry Coop, even with the school's out nostalgia this was crap.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Mar 02 2022

Nah, didn't get this at all. I found autobahn interesting for the first 3 minutes or so...

Mar 03 2022

Thought I'd love this, but it wasn't the easiest listen. Did sound very cool though and points for weirdness.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Mar 04 2022

Good fun a for a while, but overall pretty bland. It just got very samey, slipped down to a 2 by the end.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 05 2022

Revenge of the Led. This was nice and boppy! I'm glad the generator made me listen to Led Zeppelin as I enjoyed this. Again I'm torn between a 3 or a 4, I wish the rating system was out of 10 tbh.

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 06 2022

I vibed with this - a relaxed but lively listen with enough variety to be interesting throughout. A good album to play whilst cooking I reckon. Once the album finished a few songs from Supernatural auto-queued and they had exactly the pizazz I think Abraxas was missing tho. A solid 7/10

Picture Book by Simply Red
Mar 07 2022

Started off pretty well, got a bit tedious by the end. Simply Meh

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Mar 08 2022

This album ranged from cheesy and repetitive to downright painful to listen to. The vocals really grate on some tracks and in quite a few cases the lyrics are bloody awful. Paint it black was a highlight, but nothing special and it was downhill from there.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 09 2022

Day 5 of isolation: I'm daydreaming of walking along the beach like Chris Martin belting Yellow

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Mar 10 2022

Weird but cool album. Doubt I'll listen to it again though.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Mar 11 2022

I really find Alice Cooper's music cringey and bland. It's not awful, and maybe it just hasn't aged well, but another low 2 for me.

Debut by Björk
Mar 12 2022

Björk is so cool. Some gorgeous songs and such a distinctive voice, but also some dancey bops too.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Mar 13 2022

This is aggressively 60's haha. It's good, just too shrill for me, grated and dragged after an hour.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 14 2022

Not much to add on this one, the hype is deserved. Everytime I listen to Rumours I think it's the perfect album.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Mar 15 2022

A decent album. It's my second Led Zeppelin album, and this one was much louder and rocky. I think I preferred Led III tbh. Kasmir is a powerhouse of a song, and probably the reason this album is on the list. It went downhill from there, though I don’t know if the second half was crap or if I was just too fed up after an hour to give it a chance🙃.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 16 2022

Before this I'd only listened to Fetch the Bolt Cutters and Chloe belting out a few of her other hits around the house, so I had high hopes and was a little disappointed by the album in the end. But her voice is great and full of emotion, and there's some proper bops here. Really enjoyed criminal and shadow boxer especially.

Wasn't a fan to begin with, but the album really grew on me as it went on. Not the easiest listen, but some of the songs really pack a punch and it was a fun chaotic album. High 3

Be by Common
Mar 20 2022

Right from the smooth intro this was goood, very easy listening. Enjoyed Kanye's bits too.

Pink Flag by Wire
Mar 29 2022

Not my thing- lots of short forgettable songs and thought the vocals were whiny and garbled. Surgeon's girl was bloody annoying in particular. There was plenty of energy at least and Strange was cool, had some Talking Heads vibes.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Mar 30 2022

I was uncertain at the start, but the album really picked up with Strange love and I was hooked. I really liked the spooky vibes, a great mix of eerie synth sounds and catchy bops.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Mar 31 2022

Some of the skits were annoying, but Biggie is just so so good, and the line 'cleanest meanest penis' earns an instant 4 stars

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Apr 02 2022

At its best it was nice chill wannabe Beatles music, at its worst it was mind gardens. It's a decent album, just a bit dull, def doesn’t make any waves. CTA-102 was like the birth of crazy frog

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Apr 03 2022

I liked this! Chill vibes and a great voice

Apr 04 2022

Super cool album, v interesting sounds. A bit weird and distorted at times, and some of the guitar bits mean absolutely nothing to me, but overall it was a good time.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 08 2022

This album is like a sandwich with two of the Stones' best songs as bread and a load of filler in between. Great tracks, just a meh sandwich overall. Definitely my favourite stones album so far tho.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Apr 12 2022

I will describe every jazz album I like as chill jazzy vibes, and that's what this was. Street life especially slapped tho.

Apr 13 2022

This album was chaotic and noisy and I loved it. It was easy to get lost at times but it sounded great and every song was so different and fun. Cool album art too.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Apr 14 2022

Had some interesting moments, but it was a bit of a chore and I'll probably never listen to this again.

Apr 15 2022

Lauryn is so good, a top notch album with a couple of standout tracks, and we've definitely had worse skits on this list so far.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Apr 16 2022

Genius album with brilliant crazy energy.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Apr 18 2022

Fun energetic record. Some interesting moments and definitely some bops, the vocals do grate on a few tracks though. High 3/Low 4

Van Halen by Van Halen
Apr 19 2022

Bleh, I didn't really get it. I mean it's definitely distinctive, and has its moments (especially the first few songs), but a bit over the top for me.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Apr 20 2022

Yaaaaaaaaaaawn

Tommy by The Who
Apr 23 2022

This did have it's ups and downs but I really enjoyed this! I am confused tho- is Tommy ok?

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Apr 24 2022

I really liked this, nice easy listening with some great tunes. I especially enjoyed Only a fool and Fire in the hole

Apr 26 2022

Wow this album was a big boi. I enjoyed the first half, great energy, and then the second half went so so hard at times, but also had a fair few bizarre and even boring moments. It might be a bit messy and obviously too long, but I've already forgotten everything but the bops, so Hey Ya might drag this one up to a 4

Queen II by Queen
Apr 27 2022

Some great songs, and it's very Queen, but I was a little disappointed tbh, probably just because none of the classics were on this one.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Apr 28 2022

I wish it didn't but his voice just grates me. I miss teenage kicks...

Different Class by Pulp
Apr 30 2022

I've always liked their hits but never clicked with Pulp beyond that. Really enjoyed listening to the whole album tho, plenty of bops and some moody stuff too, excellent album high 4.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
May 01 2022

This was not what I expected the album to sound like given the few pet shop boys songs i know- it was so slooooow. Maybe I was in a bad mood but I couldn't decide if it was interesting or boring tbh. There were some nice moments, and October symphony was a nice break from the sad boi synths, but overall I found this album to be a bit wet.

May 02 2022

I think I might just hate country. The thing is this didn't actually sound too bad, but there's something silly about his half-arsed country drawl, not for me.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
May 04 2022

Excellent stuff- was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Lots of chill music with some bops thrown in too.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
May 05 2022

Smoooth stuff, first two songs slap, it's all pretty fun and different. Not quite the diamond standard but very good

S&M by Metallica
May 06 2022

Definitely better than I expected. Still not my cuppa tho, did not make it through the 2 hours shamefully

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
May 07 2022

Good vibes, tho a few songs did give me cheesy xmas song kinda vibes. Cherry-coloured Funk is amazing

Young Americans by David Bowie
May 09 2022

After waiting this long for a Bowie album I expected a little bit more tbh. It's a fun album, and Fame is a bop and a half, but some of the songs are a bit crap and his voice can be a little annoying at times (sorry Chloe). I do think the rest of his albums on this list will only get better tho

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
May 10 2022

Well this was a bit different from the other PJ albums. It's moody and floaty and eerie, but so cool and inventive and PJ goes hard on every song. Loved it

All Mod Cons by The Jam
May 11 2022

Good stuff, didn't love

May 13 2022

Whoever this Elton guy is he knows how to write a tune. This is a powerhouse of an album, filled with bangers, charisma, and the best song the muppets have ever bopped to. He has such a fun swagger that even the slow songs are great. My only criticism is that it starts to repeat itself towards the end a bit, but overall I loved this album.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
May 14 2022

Solid album, Somebody to Love and White rabbit are bangers! Didn't like the slower moments so much

May 17 2022

I liked this, cool and a bit weird. Just didn't 100% vibe with it

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
May 18 2022

This was a struggle...

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
May 21 2022

Just brilliant chaotic energy and relentless bops. Will always remind me of lockdown

May 23 2022

Some weird vibes, some naff songs, some fairly crap vocals, some odd lyrics and a half decent cover.

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 25 2022

Ah MJ, it's mad how many catchy hits are on this album. Fun and a bit silly, the albums is full of bangers, tho some songs made me feel a bit uncomfortable tbh.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
May 26 2022

oooooOOOOOooooOOOOooo damn she can sing, and it all sounds good, but every single song is so bland and uninteresting. Could be so much better if Mariah stopped breathing down the mic and sung about something

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
May 28 2022

Really nice slow country music, lyrics are a little dull tho and it's just missing a bit of oomph

Doolittle by Pixies
May 29 2022

Great fun listening to this one, brought up lots of road trip memories with Chloe. Debaser is an epic unhinged start to the album, hooked me straight away, then the album just goes from bop to chaotic bop.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 01 2022

Damn this was pretty good, sounded great and his voice is so smooth and captivating. A high 4

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jun 03 2022

This was a weird vibe, it jumped around from fun to bizarre to downright creepy, great names tho. At parts I was thinking 4, others a 2, so averaging it out to a 3. The vibes ain't nothing but the vibes

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jun 05 2022

I love Kate Bush, didn't love this album tho, probably needs another listen

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 06 2022

This was a fun album, lots of good vibes. Good vibrations aside tho nothing really stood out for me. It's a little all over the place, and the acapella oooooo's wear a bit thin after a while. Also vege-tables gave me horrible flashbacks to Mr Bloom's nursery and Sebastien the aubergine

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jun 10 2022

This was FANTASTIC

Jun 23 2022

Ladies and Gentleman, I am back. The first song is gorgeous but the whole album was bloody fantastic. I loved the spacey vibes and weird sounds. I found the cd for 4 quid a couple of days after this album was generated, an easy buy and it came packaged like a pill which is cool

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jun 24 2022

A lot of fun and some great bops

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jun 25 2022

Funking good. I might've gotten bored if it wasn't so short, but it's an album about getting groovy on a spaceship, what's not to love

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jan 24 2023

I really vibed with this. It all flows so nicely, each song goes into the next seamlessly. It was all over the place, crazy as a coconut

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jan 26 2023

Pretty cheesy and dull

Odelay by Beck
Jan 28 2023

Enjoyed most of this, definitely a weird and eclectic mix

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 29 2023

This slapped! I don't know how they managed to make it so eerie and yet so sexy and mellow, it was like an album of bond films. I loved it, especially glorybox.

Document by R.E.M.
Feb 02 2023

Good fun cheesy music

evermore by Taylor Swift
Feb 04 2023

Nice album, lots of lockdown nostalgia, but I agree, it's not quite Folklore is it
