Popular Reviews

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg

One of the all-time greatest ever rap albums

GREY Area by Little Simz

Impressive flow and lyrics

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

I didn't realize how grungy Neil Young could sound. He must have had a pretty heavy influence on the '90s.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Feb 28 2022

Rapping and singing in multiple languages takes talent!

GREY Area by Little Simz
Mar 23 2022

Impressive flow and lyrics

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 24 2022

Love this album, My mom says I hated it as a kid but I don't remember that.

Sea Change by Beck
Mar 25 2022

Not beck's best album, but still pretty great

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Apr 25 2022

I liked this much more than I expected

Jul 26 2022

He's a great rapper with great beats, but I remembered why I didn't like him even back in the day. Angry lyrics about wife beating and rape just aren't for me.

2112 by Rush
Aug 17 2022
Moving Pictures by Rush
Aug 22 2022

While I can appreciate that Rush is very musically talented, I cannot get over my dislike of them. That voice is like a cheese grater.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Aug 23 2022

Not a big fan of live albums. Solos were just way too long. And why do much screeching?

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Aug 25 2022

Had me dreaming of electric sheep

Odessa by Bee Gees
Aug 31 2022
Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Sep 14 2022

If I ordered the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack on Wish.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Sep 22 2022

So boring

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Sep 26 2022

The first two songs had me thinking that they had changed their sound since I listened to them in the 90s, but then it got back to their roots. Solid album.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Sep 29 2022

Lovely to chill to

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 05 2022

I feel in love with Alice in chains as a teenager. I don't think I realized at the time how deep his addiction was. That being said this album wasn't my favorite one but lots of his songs.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Oct 06 2022

Funky

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Oct 13 2022

Janis!

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Oct 14 2022

Tom waits is fucking weird and I'm here for it.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Oct 18 2022

This here is baby making music

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Oct 19 2022

Dull and country.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 01 2022

Teenage favorite that still holds up

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Nov 09 2022

Groove is in the heart saves this album

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Nov 10 2022

This was very enjoyable. I wish I could have understood the story.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Nov 11 2022

This album kept getting worse as it went on.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Nov 25 2022

Needs Bruce. Still a very solid album.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Nov 29 2022

Love his voice, could use a better musical track

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Dec 01 2022

I'm usually not big into life albums, but Johnny Cash's interaction with this one was awesome

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Dec 05 2022
1999 by Prince
Dec 06 2022

So many fantastic songs but a couple of duds keep me from giving it a full five stars

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Dec 07 2022

I'm sure that 15-year-old me would have adored this album

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Dec 12 2022

One of the best albums of all time.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Dec 13 2022

Not really my jam, but a classic

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Dec 20 2022

One of the great rock operas

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 22 2022

I love Costello but this isn't his best work

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Dec 23 2022

The voicemails at the end of each track ruined this album. At least have them as separate tracks. The beats were good, flow was good.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Dec 27 2022

This gets an extra point for the history behind it and the influence it had.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Dec 30 2022

I grew up on John Lee hooker.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jan 02 2023

My mom played this album a lot when I was growing up. I haven't heard it in a long time but I feel like I've grown a new appreciation for it is an adult.

Jan 03 2023

I had never heard this album before. I had to read up on it cuz I could tell it was early work. You can definitely tell they haven't found their voice yet. They sound like a lot of other groups from the time.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 06 2023

Beautiful favorite.

Night Life by Ray Price
Jan 13 2023

This played in my grandma's kitchen the entire time I was growing up

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Jan 18 2023

Another song from my grandma's kitchen radio

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 19 2023
Picture Book by Simply Red
Jan 20 2023

Good background music

Jan 24 2023

I've heard a bit of Artic Monkeys before but hadn't really paid much attention to them. I really really enjoyed this album and need to delve further.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Jan 26 2023

They've really been into my grandma's kitchen radio music lately. This one's pretty good.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 30 2023
Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jan 31 2023

I love motorhead in small doses. A while album is a bit much for me lol

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 01 2023

✌️♥️🤔

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 02 2023

Just not my thing, his voice grates on me

Feb 03 2023

I had just started getting into grunge when Cobain died. Shortly after, when I was 13 this album came out. Despite the fact that it was produced and announced before his passing, Love got so much heat for releasing it. It's a fantastic grunge album that had so much influence on me as a teenager girl.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Feb 06 2023

This just kept getting worse as it went on

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 07 2023
L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Feb 08 2023

I couldn't even make it all the way through this

Pornography by The Cure
Feb 09 2023

I can't even make it through an album by The cure because this guy's voice is so fucking annoying.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Feb 24 2023

DNF. I've never felt so much stress listening to music.

Play by Moby
Feb 28 2023
Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 01 2023

There's one good song on this album, but honestly they all pretty much sound the same. Depressing. And this dude has the most irritating singing voice. I didn't DNF it though, so that's something.

Vivid by Living Colour
Mar 02 2023

Well it's good to know that all of their music is just as bad if not worse than their one hit. DNF

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 03 2023

Apparently it's depressing annoying voice week.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 06 2023

Finally, a great album! I start questioning this guy's taste in music when we get these long stretches of 💩.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Mar 07 2023

This was fun and had me dancing through the whole thing

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Mar 08 2023

A weird mix between Springsteen and Morrisey? But I dig it.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Mar 10 2023

I've always loved her stuff when I've heard it but have never delved into an album. This one was fantastic. Very cohesive.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Mar 17 2023

An I being fucking punked?

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 21 2023

I didn't realize how grungy Neil Young could sound. He must have had a pretty heavy influence on the '90s.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Mar 23 2023

Objectively this is a really good album, but I just have never really been into Meatloaf. It just feels too... manufactured maybe?

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Mar 27 2023

I listen to this while walking the dogs in the evening and a nice, but kind of boring

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 29 2023

One of the greats

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Mar 30 2023

One of the all-time greatest ever rap albums

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Apr 04 2023

This is the album that sparked my love of oddball hip hop

Apr 05 2023

Kanye has a song here and there that I love, but most of them are just terrible. I don't understand the obsession. His flow is just ok, his voice is annoying, and his beats are either fire or completely annoying no in between.

Apr 17 2023

I was a little leery of the description but this was nice to just chill to in the background

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Apr 27 2023

It's been a long time since this list produced an artist that I was unaware of that I really liked. Kudos.

Mask by Bauhaus
May 04 2023

DNF this album was annoying

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 10 2023

Lovely album to chill to but a little too much organ for my taste

Truth by Jeff Beck
May 11 2023
Ten by Pearl Jam
May 19 2023
Urban Hymns by The Verve
May 22 2023

Great late 90s vibes

War by U2
May 23 2023

I get that U2 is very talented, but they just don't do it for me.

May 24 2023

I like corn growing up they were my best friend's favorite band but damn I forgot how much homophobia and self-loathing there was in this album

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 29 2023

This is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 30 2023

I will never understand how an entire generation of girls fell in love with this man's irritating voice.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jun 01 2023

Seriously, WTF did I just listen to?

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jun 06 2023

I've never been the biggest fan of the early Beatles I'm more of a late Beatles gal, but these really are bangers.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jun 07 2023
Guero by Beck
Jun 14 2023
Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jun 19 2023
Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jun 29 2023

I love the use of horns, but can't stand this woman's voice

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jul 03 2023
Feast of Wire by Calexico
Jul 04 2023

Really strange and enjoyable

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jul 14 2023
Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jul 17 2023
Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jul 18 2023

I've always found Alanis morissette overrated. Her actual singing voice is barely good enough for a night out of karaoke so she makes up for it by being angry, growly, and repetitive.

Blur by Blur
Jul 20 2023
Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
