Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Jul 08 2022

Honestly disappointing. Not because I had high expectations, but because I didn’t want to call it trash and sound so subjective. In its defense I thought maybe I wasn’t in the right mood for it and therefore couldn’t enjoy it but it wasn’t great. I appreciate it that it was definitely a story.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 10 2023

About what I expected. I’m not a Springsteen fan, I think his sound is the same across every song. It’s just one long Saturday night live track

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jan 11 2023

Pretty good, upbeat album. Had a good time listening. Definitely not as good as freewheeling but I liked it.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jan 12 2023

Thought it was ok, didn’t realize one of the songs on here was one of my favorites. Definitely a different sound happy to listen but not something I’d seek out

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jan 13 2023

It was ok, definitely a classic, just not for me

Jan 15 2023

Wasn’t bad but not for me, pretty cool sound for the 1970s but seemed like a complete ripoff of jethro tull

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 16 2023

I mean, a great album, red house and purple haze? Also May this be love was a great track, never heard it before

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jan 17 2023

Didn’t realize this was the band that did epic, obvi a great song. I’m a big rock guy so I liked it but it wasn’t amazing. Glad I listened tho!

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 18 2023

This album was AWESOME. Idk if it was all covers but reminded me how great of singer willie Nelson is. One of those albums I expected to like but excited to get through but i savored each song

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jan 19 2023

Album was a classsic and even added a few songs to playlists

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 20 2023
Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jan 21 2023

Was surprising, first half was awesome, thought it was a grunge album

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jan 22 2023

Normally love Black Sabbath, obvi nothing beats paranoid but this album wasn’t the best the first half but really nailed it at the end. Almost like ozzys attempt at zeppelin??

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jan 23 2023

Great album easy listening. A clasic

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 25 2023

Ooooobviously aqualung kicks ass. This album is such a great story with such experimentation and sounds awesome

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 26 2023

Idk, I can definitely appreciate this album but Frank ocean definitely has a sound and he really beats a dying horse with it. This just isn’t my type of music but I’m also surprised this is on the list

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jan 27 2023

Elvis Costello is BITCH MADE

Feb 08 2023

This album kicked butt. Great sound from start to finish

Feb 09 2023

Idk it was pretty good, at first the transitions really irritated me and literally almost made me throw up. But once it moves over it’s pretty dang good. I don’t think I appreciated it as much as I should because it was morning and I needed words not insutrmentals but I liked it

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Feb 10 2023

This album was sick! I feel like this is the sound so many artists in this time we’re trying to go for *cough cough* Elvis Costello… Glad I got this one

Fun House by The Stooges
Feb 11 2023

Stooges rock

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Feb 12 2023

This album was awesome. Got my morning started like a bat out of hell. After having listened to so many albums on this, you can really tell the difference between a good artist and a great artist

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Feb 13 2023

Just couldn’t do this one, not great. Could see it being good for the times when it came out. Coolest thing about it was I recognized this is where a Mac Miller sample came from

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Feb 14 2023

A classic

Country Life by Roxy Music
Feb 15 2023

This was ok, was hoping it would get heavier, I feel like maybe I don’t understand this type of music.

Stankonia by OutKast
Feb 18 2023

Staaaanky, this album was great

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Feb 19 2023

I feel like Hanoi rocks is a classic band in legendary status. Maybe I wasn’t in the best mindset to listen to this but I wasn’t really into it. Seemed like a creative test almost

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Feb 20 2023

Obviously I got love for Ohio boys but the album was ok. Would love to know why this was on this list

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Feb 22 2023

Dear GOD was this bad. Just French guys taking rammstein and making it more primal. The assumption I’m taking with me into every one of these albums is “there has to be something here and if I don’t see it, I must not be gettting something” I’m willing to accept that but this was bad.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Mar 08 2023

The monk is the man! This was a beauty

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Mar 09 2023

Album was interesting for sure. I would consider this a textbook album. Through you for a loop but still sounded great and something I needed

Horses by Patti Smith
Mar 11 2023

Not bad, would have to see if Patti came before allanis morisette because that’s all I heard in this

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Mar 12 2023

This was pretty good, sounded like a ripoff of another and I can’t think of now

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Mar 22 2023

Started out great, kinda faltered at the end but I enjoyed this. Perfect 3 stars

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Mar 23 2023

Great album, made me realize anything that doesn’t evoke an emotional reaction is a solid 3

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Mar 26 2023

This album was great, just what I needed this morning

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Mar 27 2023

This one made me wonder what these bands did to be on here? Maybe they were the first with this sound and I’ve only heard copies and that’s all I know.

Queen II by Queen
Mar 29 2023

Not bad, nothing special

1977 by Ash
Mar 31 2023

Eh

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Apr 14 2023

This was awesome. Not an r&b guy but this was too funky not to love

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Apr 15 2023

Tribe is always classic and timeless

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Apr 21 2023

Yeah surprisingly loved this

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Apr 22 2023

III isn’t as good as some of the other albums but definitely classics on here

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Apr 23 2023

Noticed a jimmy hendrix element to it and when I looked it up king crimson was his favorite band of all time so you can hear the inspiration. Definitely will be listening to more of their albums

1984 by Van Halen
Apr 24 2023

Van Halen? Come on. This album kicks ass and Panama is legendary

Apr 25 2023

This was surprisingly great. Surprising just because I’d never heard of them and enjoyed this a lot

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Apr 26 2023

This was a pleasant change up. Also made me curious why ODB referred to Shaka Zulu in enter the 36 chambers

Apr 27 2023

My jaw literally dropped hearing “by this river” listening to the album at first I was like I wish there was a feature that showed what other music this influenced but I heard it from never falling down. Pretty awesome

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Apr 28 2023

Running up that hill a classic

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Apr 29 2023

Best zeppelin album of all time. One of the true albums with only good songs front to back

Blunderbuss by Jack White
May 06 2023

This album was great jack white has an awesome voice

May 07 2023

This album was awesome. Had some classics and reallly got me in a great mood. I think some of these songs could have ended earlier but that’s my only complaint

May 08 2023

Surprisingly great, thought this was gonna be a musical or something or something composery.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 09 2023

IK YO OUSHAMAN

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 10 2023

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 11 2023

May 12 2023

Surprisingly good. I think these guys are incredibly over rated but I’ve also not taken a ton of time to listen to them. I appreciated this

In Utero by Nirvana
May 13 2023

Not bad, has the hits but also makes you realize how hits can make a band so great

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
May 14 2023

Absolutely incredible.

May 15 2023

This was decently surprising, finished well

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
May 16 2023

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 07 2023

This was ok, kinda sad boi, picked up at the end

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jun 08 2023

I saw randy Newman and was like great can’t wait to suffer through this. Was totally wrong and thought it was awesome truthfully it comes from a bias of him singing about 2 places that are sentimental to me: cuyahoga and Dayton ohio

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jun 09 2023

Ok, not my type of music. A couple redeemers

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jun 10 2023

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jul 14 2023

It was whatever, just one of those things that sounds like the rest of the bands but I guess they were first to do it

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 23 2023

This album was such a good one to look back on, so good

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jul 24 2023

I’m curious about this album. These aren’t original songs so what did this influence?

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jul 25 2023

Eassily the best solo album of wu tang

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jul 26 2023

This shaped up big st the end

Machine head rules and so does smoke on the water

Pretty good

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Mar 22 2024

Wish I could do 3.5. I liked this but probably won’t listen again

Mar 25 2024

I see what the dudes shooting for but musicals are already bad and with what seems to be a sorry attempt and masking low effort and something artistic, this is still just bad

Document by R.E.M.

Some good hits and local boys 151 was a great surprise

There are definitely better albums. Just a bit slow for me
