Favorite song: halftime, it ain’t too hard to tell
Things I like about this album: the naming of songs (genesis, halftime) but it’s truly just not my vibe although I liked it better than most hip hop/rap albums

BIG head thrashing in your parent’s garage energy - also A Stroke of Luck would make a great murder matter video

Favorite song: Passover
I’m sure this album is influential but wow was it not my vibe
Arcade Fire
4/5
Listened to on 2/7/22 4.5/5
Favorite songs: The Suburbs and Wasted Time
We finally got something that wasn’t from the 60s and wow was it so much better. This album was so good and accurately depicts what growing up in the suburbs is like. I would highly recommend and enjoyed listening to it!
Jurassic 5
3/5
Listened to on 2/8/22 3.4/5
Favorite songs: Sum of Us, What’s Golden
Turns out I actually might like hip hop way more than I thought. I really enjoyed how the songs flowed into one another like a story yet we’re still all diverse. I would absolutely turn this on as background music or to run to if I theoretically ran
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Listened to on 2/9/22 3.5/5
Favorite Songs: High Tide or Low Tide, Concrete Jungle
I wish I was sitting on an island drinking instead of sitting at my desk working when listening to this album. It was all in all really good and very chill background music
Public Enemy
2/5
Listened to on 2/10/22 2/5
Favorite song: Can’t Truss It
My earlier statement that I might like hip hop was questioned in this album. While Public Enemy paved the way for later albums, I didn’t really enjoy any of the songs individually. The overall beats and social commentary were great though
Pink Floyd
4/5
Listened to on 2/11/22 4/5
Favorite Song: another brick in the wall
Definitely recommend listening to this album after you’ve done some research and understand the context. I enjoyed it but was disturbed by a lot of the songs but also wow such a well written commentary on current events
The Isley Brothers
4/5
Listened to on 2/14/22 4/5
Favorite Song: You Walk Your Way, Summer Breeze
This album was great and so easy to listen to. The integration of different instruments was flawlessly done and their music was soulful. I could play it on repeat all day
The Saints
3/5
Listened to on 2/15/22
Favorite Song: Lost and Found, Run Down
This album made me wish I was in a high school dance scene in a John Hughes movie. All in all very good but BIG 80s energy
Donovan
4/5
Listened to on 2/16/22 4/5
Favorite Songs: Season of the Witch, The Trip
If there was every a time to try psychedelic drugs, it’s definitely while listening to this album. I surprisingly really loved tot though and the way Donovan tells compelling stories in his songs. Plus Season of the Witch will forever be a Halloween bop
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
Listened to on 2/17/22 2.5/5
Favorite Song: The Sage
It’s not bad but also not good…?
They said: “let’s play a shit ton of random noises and instruments at this concert”
Leonard Cohen
2/5
Listened to on 2/20/21 2.5/5
Favorite song: Suzanne
This album was the epitome of storytelling background music - kinda odd and very sad but still beautiful
Gang Of Four
2/5
Listened to on 2/21/22 2.5/5
Favorite Song: Damaged Goods
The random noises were repetitive and annoying but overall not that bad
The Go-Go's
4/5
Listened to on 2/22/22 4.5/5
Favorite songs: our lips are sealed, can’t stop the world, you can’t walk in your sleep
If I had a getting read my montage in the 80s, I would absolutely want it to be set to this album. It’s so fun and upbeat and perfect to sing into a brush while teasing your hair
John Coltrane
4/5
Listened to on 2/23/22 4.5/5
Favorite song: they were all lovely
Wonderful jazz album
Leonard Cohen
2/5

I found his voice/tone kinda creepy

3/5
Listened to on 2/2/22 3/5

All in all good vibes - very 70s easy listening
Van Halen

Classic with the most amazing guitar rifs
Jimmy Smith
3/5

Favorite song: Back 2 The Base
Great - very big hair 80s party vibes
Pink Floyd
3/5
Listened to on 3/3/22 3/5
Favorite song: Wish You Were Here
Much calmer and less chaotic than The Wall but I’m still worried about their mental wellbeing
2Pac
3/5
Listened to on 3/4/22 3/5
Favorite song: Dear Mama
This album is very personal to Tupac’s real life and was all in all really good with both mellow songs and bops
OutKast
2/5
Listened to on 3/7/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: Ms Jackson & So Fresh, So Clean
A vibe - not my vibe but a vibe
Ice Cube
3/5
Listened to on 3/8/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: You can’t fade me
Genuinely liked this more than I thought I would but the explicit lyrics were a bit excessive in some of the songs - the social commentary on race in America and the integration of radio/quotes were 10/10 though
Christine and the Queens
4/5
Listened to on 3/9/22 4/5
Favorite song: 5 dollars, the walker, comme si
This album was the best change of pace! I loved how Christine integrated French and English into her lyrics. It was fun, edgy and all in all great to listen to
The Beach Boys
4/5
Listened to on 3/10/22 4/5
Favorite song: Please let me wonder, she knows me too well
Not quite the beach album I was expecting but genuinely so well done and would listen to again and again - makes me wish I was in a 60s prom scene
Gene Clark
3/5
Listened to on 3/11/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: life’s greatest fool, true one
Folk rock with a country vibe! great background music with a few hits
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Listened to on 3/14/22 4.5/5
Favorite song: bad moon rising, Lodi
Genuinely so good - the songs were all great with a few standouts. Turns out rock without drugs may be even better
Def Leppard
5/5
Listened to on 3/15/22 4.5/5
Favorite song: pour some sugar on me, animal, love and affection
Absolute classic with so many hits - could do without the weird intros for a few songs but also impossible to not bop your head along and want to play air guitar
David Gray
4/5
Listened to on 3/16/22 4/5
Favorite song: Babylon
The PERFECT background working soundtrack - so good and easy to listen to
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
Listened to on 3/17/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: girls just wanna have fun, time after time
Cindy is the embodiment of 80s music and her album was so good with absolute banger classics
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Listened to on 3/18/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: Little Child Runnin’ Wild, Freddie’s Dead
Wonderful movie soundtrack - super easy to listen to with heavy jazz/funk influence
3/5
Listened to on 3/21/22 3/5
Favorite song: Victoria
Some of those songs were great and the commentary on growing up in England was so fun but the album as a whole felt chaotic - could have been better or worse if the TV show was made
Run-D.M.C.
4/5
Listened to on 3/22/22 4/5
Favorite song: It’s Tricky, Walk this Way
Hip hop is not my cup of tea but there were too many classics on this album to not give it at least a 4 - hidden gems but definitely still gems
Ryan Adams
4/5
Listened to on 3/23/22 4/5
Favorite song: come pick me up, to be young
Very easy listening with light country vibes and lots of emotional baggage
D'Angelo
3/5
Listened to on 3/24/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: Crusin, Lady
This man is SO talented and has a beautiful voice - the album was very soulful with a hip hop vibe and was pretty good all in all
Wu-Tang Clan
2/5
Listened to on 2/25/22 2/5
Favorite song: C.R.E.A.M.
Someone’s vibe just not mine
Hole
2/5
Listened to on 3/28/22 2/5
Favorite song: Softer, softest
I don’t hate this album but I also never need to hear it again. BIG 90s grunge energy- it makes me want to be emo and smashing drums in my parent’s garage
Elvis Costello
4/5
Listened to on 3/29/22 4.5/5
Favorite song: Alison, Welcome to the Working Week, Living in Paradise
This album was GREAT - a little all over the place in terms of a vibe but I loves how easy it was to listen to while being fun and upbeat. The lyrics are beautiful and I would absolutely listen to it again and again
Drive-By Truckers
2/5
Listened to on 3/30/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: women without whiskey
Kinda all over the place but also I can’t distinguish any one song. Vibe is meant for a BBQ joint that also has axe throwing after hours
Eels
2/5
Listened to on 3/31/22 1.5/2
Favorite song: your lucky day in hell
Absolutely not - I’m worried for all of their mental wellbeings
Pearl Jam
4/5
Listened to on 4/22 4/5
Favorite song: alive, black
Oh hell yes give me all the Pearl Jam in its finest 90s rock - genuinely so good
Björk
1/5
Listened to on 4/4/22 1/5
Favorite song: no
I didn’t like a single thing about this album and would love to never hear it again - the weird noises and electronic pop was just not it
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Listened to on 4/5/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: Mrs. Robinson
Odd combination of songs into one album with the theme song and movie soundtrack features. All in all very easy listening and would listen to it again
Dr. John
2/5
Listened to on 4/6/22 2/5
Favorite song: Jump Sturdy
Very random mix of sounds and reggae music = chaotic album with songs that were too long…why is this song SEVEN MINUTES
Queen
5/5
Listened to on 4/7/22 5/5
Favorite song: Bohemian Rhapsody, God Save the Queen
Simply. Iconic.
The The
3/5
Listened to on 4/10/22 3/5
Favorite song: This is the day
I liked most of this album more than I thought I would - very synthetic and pop-py but all in all a few bops
Portishead
3/5
Listened to on 4/11/22 3/5
Favorite song: Wandering Star
Heavy emphasis on the beats - good vibes all around but some weird breathy lyrics. Background music for sure
Taylor Swift
5/5
Listened to on 4/12/22 5/5
Favorite song: This Love, Style
I knew all of this and loved every minute of it - absolute bangers
Sheryl Crow
4/5
Listened to on 4/13/22 4/5
Favorite song: Strong Enough, All I Wanna Do
Solid bops would recommend
The Fall
1/5
Listened to on 4/14/22 1/4
Favorite song: No
I didn’t like anything about this album besides the covers which still weren’t as good as the original
Bob Dylan
3/5
Listened to on 4/17/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: Blowin’ in the Wind
I loved the laid back vibe of this album but the aggressive harmonica was an unwelcome addition to most songs
AC/DC
5/5
Listened to on 4/18/22 5/5
Favorite song: Highway to Hell
Absolutely classic - listened to it 3 times
Green Day
4/5
Listened to on 4/19/22 4.5/5
Favorite song: Basket case, She
I love Green Day and it’s 90s nostalgia - this album did not disappoint and i bopped all day
Yes
3/5
Listened to on 4/20/22 2/5
Favorite song: roundabout
I either liked or very much so disliked every song depending on the level of weird techno noises but I’d play it in the background
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4/5
Listened to on 4/21/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: I hope you’re happy now, blue chair, crimes of paris
The rock vibes were lovely and the band did a great job of capturing emotional grunge but the vibes were conflicting in some songs. I liked the loud studio volume recording and how it made you feel like you were front row at their concert. This album was pretty much only about sex and sad relationships but all in all pretty good
Billy Bragg
4/5
Listened to on 4/22/22 4.5/5
Favorite song: California songs
This album was great - so easy to listen to and every song was different but all worked together - folk, indie, country - it really had it all
Tina Turner
3/5
Listened to on 4/25/22 2/5
Favorite song: what’s love got to do with it
I wanted this album to be better than it was - only one solid bop and BIG 80s fluffy hair energy
Brian Eno
2/5
Listened to on 4/26/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: Julie With
This album was a bit too techno (?) for my liking but the lyrics were beautiful
Supergrass
3/5
Listened to on 4/27/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: alright, sitting up straight
This album didn’t have an established vibe which made me like it less (very chaotic songs and then a few solid bops) but would listen to again
MC Solaar
3/5
Listened to on 4/27/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: alright, sitting up straight
This album didn’t have an established vibe which made me like it less (very chaotic songs and then a few solid bops) but would listen to again
Nina Simone
4/5
Listened to on 4/29/22 4/5
Favorite song: wild is the wind, why keep on breaking my heart
Nina is incredibly soulful and sings absolutely beautifully and so passionately in this album. It’s soulful and the perfect vibes for a rainy day
Nas
2/5
Listened to on 5/2/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: halftime, it ain’t too hard to tell
Things I like about this album: the naming of songs (genesis, halftime) but it’s truly just not my vibe although I liked it better than most hip hop/rap albums
Portishead
2/5
Listened to on 5/3/22 2/5
Favorite song: deep water
This album is dark and if it was a person I would be concerned for their mental health - the machine gun song was fun and chaotic
The Offspring
2/5
Listened to on 5/4/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: self esteem
This album is: chaotic. The intro was hilarious and every song was overly aggressive and I don’t love being yelled at BUT self esteem was phenomenal and took it from a 2 to a 2.5
David Holmes
3/5
Listened to on 5/5/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: radio 7
This album was chaotic and felt like you were listening to music full blast in the middle of a city but the twist on the bond song was really fun
Van Morrison
5/5
Listened to on 5/8/22 5/5
Favorite song: moondance
I was not expecting to like this album but it was absolutely phenomenal. The instrumentation and lyrics were beautiful and soothing and so easy to listen to. I would listen to this album again and again and again
Paul McCartney and Wings
4/5
Listened to on 5/9/22 4.5/5
Favorite song: let me roll it, 1985
This album was great - very easy to listen to and some surprise bangers. I also loved Drink to Me but the gaps in the song were distracting and odd. The album had some exotic influences and the McCartney’s being robbed at knifepoint to make it bumped it up to 4.5 in my book
Lauryn Hill
3/5
Listened to on 5/10/22 3/5
Favorite song: To Zion, The Miseducation of Ms Lauryn Hill
This album was so soulful and the lyrics were beautiful - great music that was easy to throw on and listen to
PJ Harvey
1/5

No songs
I don’t like anything about this album
PJ Harvey
1/5
Listened to on 5/12/22 1/5
No songs
I don’t like anything about PJ Harvey’s style of music - too chaotic for me
Fleet Foxes
4/5
Listened to on 5/15/22 4/5
Favorite songs: Tiger Mountain Peasant Song, Your Protector
This band is incredibly talented - their lyrics, their vocals, and their instrumentation were beautiful and unlike anything I’d heard before yet so easy to listen to. Some of the songs were a little too repetitive for me but I absolutely loved a few and will listen to them again
The Band
3/5
Listened to on 5/16/22 2.5/5
Favorite song: The Weight
This album was easy to listen to and nothing crazy special stood out to me - great background music
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
Listened to on 5/17/22 4/5
Favorite song: Geno, I couldn’t help it if I tried
I had no expectations for this album but it was SO fun to listen to, very British, upbeat and just wildly entertaining - Eileen would be proud
Thin Lizzy
4/5
Listened to on 5/18/22 4/5
Favorite song: The Boys are Back in Town, Jailbreak
I usually hate live music but this album was SO fun and made me feel like I was front row at their concert - big fan of the 70s vibe
Bob Dylan
3/5
Listened to on 5/19/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: like a rolling stone, Tom thumbs blues
Easy listening and very Bob Dylan
CHIC
3/5
Listened to on 5/22/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: good times
This album was super upbeat, jazzy, fun, and entertaining - I really thought about giving it a 4 but the songs were super repetitive
The xx
3/5
Listened to on 5/23/22 3/5
Favorite song: intro
Very indie and intimate with lots of random pauses in the songs - the intro is great though
Bob Dylan
4/5
Listened to on 5/25/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: make you feel my love, million miles
Bob Dylan continues to be a bop - this wasn’t my favorite of all his albums but was still pretty solid
Missy Elliott
3/5
Listened to on 5/25/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: work it remix, play that beat
The theme of this album is so good - the songs were all in all great with lots of amazing features. I enjoyed listening and hated this hip hop less than pretty much every other one
Funkadelic
3/5
Listened to on 5/30/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: one nation under a groove
The guitar playing was PHENOMENAL and this album was so easy to listen to - gotta love the 70s even if this band was for sure on drugs
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Listened to on 5/30/22 4/5
Favorite song: immigrant song
I love Led Zeppelin and this album didn’t fail to be a series of bops- the immigrant song is quintessential 70s and I loved every moment of listening to it 3 times
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4/5
Listened to on 5/30/22 4/5
Favorite song: this year’s model, radio radio
Elvis Costello continues to be a bop but this album felt a bit more scattered and the end of the songs were repetitive but I would listen again for sure
The Human League
3/5
Listened to on 5/31/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: don’t you want me
Great background 80s music with a solid banger ending
Taylor Swift
5/5
Listened to on 6/1/22 5/5
Favorite song: champagne problems, evermore, willow
I love Taylor Swift and this album is no different - the perfect sad girl fall album
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Listened to on 5/9/22 3/5
Favorite song: so in love, Billy Jack
Good mo-town vibes but some of it sounded like porno music and I think Curtis was a bit out of his range in a few songs
Wilco
3/5
Listened to on 5/9/22 3/5
Favorite song: Jesus, etc.
These songs had some random noises (trucks, sirens, yelling) which I did not enjoy but it was good background music
Yes
4/5
Listened to on 6/7/22 3.5/5
Favorite song: starship trooper
I liked this album way more than I thought I would! It’s very rock-y without being too aggressive and super easy to listen to
Arrested Development
3/5
Listened to on 6/7/22 3/5
Favorite song: everyday people
This album felt like a chaotic mishmash of hip hop and calm vibes but it was pretty good all in all
The Fall
2/5
Listened to on 6/8/22
Favorite song: live at the witch trials
I didn’t particularly enjoy this album and found it super repetitive
George Michael
4/5
Listened to on 6/9/22
Favorite song: Waiting, Freedom
Absolutely bop of an album - so fun and easy to listen to and George Michael is beyond talented
The White Stripes
4/5
Listened to on 6/17/22 3.5
Favorite song: Seven Nation Army, Fell In Love with a Girl
00s angst at its finest - ideal for bopping your head chaotically in the car with your friends
Elvis Presley
4/5
Listened to on 6/27/22 4/5
Favorite song: blue suede shoes
Elvis is and forever will continue to be a bop - I might be biased cause I just saw the movie but damn was this man talented from the very beginning
Common
3/5
Listened to on 6/21/22
Favorite song: The Food, Love Is
I liked this hip hop album way more than I thought I would due to the easy to understand but clever lyrics
Ryan Adams
4/5
Listened to on 8/22/22 4/5
Favorite song: when the stars go blue, answering bell
This album was very pop-country and upbeat which I really enjoyed. It didn’t need to be 1.5 hours but would be killer on a 00s road trip playlist
T. Rex
4/5
Listened to on 8/22/22 4/5
Favorite song: mystic lady, the slider
Very easy-listening rock music
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
Listened to at some point 3.5/5
Favorite song: where the wild roses grow
The concept of this album is so fun with each one being a ballad about a crime and the artists were all very talented but it’s a very specific creepy vibe
Slayer
1/5
Listened to on 6/21/22
Favorite song: no

Penguin Cafe Orchestra
2/5

My obsession with ABBA and Mamma Mia makes it impossible to be objective here but if you didn’t smile and dance while listening to this album then you’re a sociopath

Favorite song: Mannish Song
It may be because I just saw the Sinners movie but I really fucked with this folk album and Muddy Waters and his band are incredibly talented

Favorite song: piece of my heart
Janis Joplin has a voice that scratches your brain in the best way and the album cover is so fun
