Since I Left You by The Avalanches

Groundbreaking classic. In my top ten albums of all time easily.

Pump by Aerosmith

If you know you know

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jul 08 2022

I can see why it was popular but only like three songs really grabbed me. Overall not my thing kind of boring.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jul 11 2022

More like whispering trees. Turned it off by the 5th song. Very disappointed in this one probably would never listen again.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Jul 12 2022

Super fun album. Felt like I was there and could see it being a blast. However he pretty much just a cover artist soo 3/5. I’d listen to it again if it was on.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 13 2022

Loved it.

Queen II by Queen
Jul 14 2022

Incredible. I have only listened to best of and the way this album is put together is so epic. Really glad I’ve now listened to a queen album all the way through. Loved it!

Tago Mago by Can
Jul 15 2022

Really great prog rock. If you would of given this to me in my 20s I would of been obsessed. 4/5 sometimes I like the weird but you can get to fucking weird sometimes too and they went there which made it a 4. Definitely checking out all their other stuff though.

Jul 18 2022

When this album ended I immediately put on rage against the machine. Public enemy obviously was a huge influence on some of the bands I love now however I didn’t love this album. At one point I checked to see how many songs were left which is never good. Still lost at birth, I don’t wanna be called, and shut em down we’re great songs. Also bring tha noize is an all time classic and started a trend in hard music whether or not that was a good thing is probably up for debate. Sooooo 3/5 liked a lot of it but would rather listen to other albums that are similar.

Moon Safari by Air
Jul 19 2022

It’s like a gigantic electronic pillow I want to nestle in. 5/5

The Band by The Band
Jul 20 2022

Ehhhhhh really just not for me. But according to Pete they are really good.

Jul 21 2022

I get it I totally get it. A lot of their stuff was great this album though was ehhh

Vivid by Living Colour
Jul 22 2022

There was some incredible songs on this album. Funny vibe has such an interesting collection of sounds and changes butttttttttttt a lot of the songs were just awful. I skipped quite a bit which was a bummer. They seemed trapped in the moment of making an album that was hair metal and progressive grunge. I was pretty bummed but I will listen to a couple of those songs again.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jul 25 2022

Highlights: boogie on a reggae women/creepin/you haven’t done nothing/they won’t go when I go. Really great album the slow songs were beautiful and heavy the funky songs were all feel good jams buttttttttt not down for so much religion in my albums.

Signing Off by UB40
Jul 27 2022

Maybe this is good reggae I don’t know. But everything sounded the exact same to me and I turned it off 6th song in. I kept imagining Barney from how I met your mother making fun of reggae and it made me mad at that show and then mad at reggae and then mad at the show again. So if you have any reggae that is interesting pass it along.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Jul 28 2022

It was cool. There was some songs I really liked but overall it was just fine, not something I’ll go back to.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jul 29 2022

Such a great album. I don’t know if they invented these different genres of punk but to hear metal ballads, hardcore punk, folk punk and a wide variety of styles while still solely still being the replacements is awesome. They were the pioneers of bands who had a style but would change it up and didn’t give a fuck what people think. 5/5 buying this asap.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Aug 02 2022

In the right mood this is a wonderful album. However it has to be the right mood or this sucks. Grab some wine sit back and enjoy someone in the kitchen cleaning dishes with jazz sounds in the background

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Aug 03 2022

Classic but I do enjoy other gorillas albums more.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Aug 05 2022

Rated r is my favorite but this album rips. Over and over found myself bobbing my head to the next song. Will probably pick this one up next time I see it in a record store

Tommy by The Who
Aug 08 2022

The story didn’t make a lot of sense to me but I really enjoyed quite a few songs and loved the progression throughout the album. Would listen again but probably not going to put it on myself.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Aug 10 2022

Really found this Blum layered smoothly like a bob ross painting. It was expediently crafted by someone who knows their craft. Could listen to it again and again

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Aug 11 2022

The 70s really did make banger after banger. I have been constantly surprised at how good some of these albums are.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Aug 15 2022

Some great hits but my metal has not aged well

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Aug 16 2022

Some great hits but my metal has not aged well

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Aug 18 2022

I need to start writing my reviews at night….. I remembered I liked it?

Blur by Blur
Aug 19 2022

I really like blur but this album did not grab all the way through. I wanted to give it at least a three but overall I think I only really liked like three songs so 2 stars.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Aug 23 2022

Some rocking out flute that was meh

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Aug 29 2022

The doors honestly kind of suck and this album it just sounds like they are doing a half ass rendition of blues music and it pretty much is not worth a listen

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Aug 30 2022

I dug it. Not sure how often I’d go back to it though.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Aug 31 2022

I really liked some of the songs but I would never probably listen to this again.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Sep 01 2022

Groundbreaking classic. In my top ten albums of all time easily.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Sep 02 2022

Really surprised me. Was all over the place but always brought me back into it.

Sep 08 2022

Overall enjoyed it for never hearing this band. I wonder though if I always like something a bit more if I have no clue who they are???

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Sep 09 2022

Really interesting album and was perfect to grade papers to.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 14 2022

One of my favorite albums to go to when I need to chill out.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Sep 15 2022

Bowie only makes classics. Where are we know is one of my all time favorite Bowie songs. The dude just got better with age. I think I’ll go 4 just because I zone out at some times but give me dark star next because that a 5!

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Sep 21 2022

The underwater song was fantastic. If there was 17 songs like that I would of given it a 3 maybe a 4 but a lot of the other songs I really did not like. So I’ll give it a 2

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Sep 23 2022

I realize it’s not ground breaking now. But imagine being on a ton of acid at some club and this band comes on and just blows your top off. That’s be fun…..

Sea Change by Beck
Sep 26 2022

Brings a smile to my face. Can’t ask more from an album

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Sep 28 2022

Not for me

Sep 29 2022

Was a little long but some real classics on here. Also loved the opener.

Oct 10 2022

Melted my little maggot brain.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Oct 11 2022
Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Oct 13 2022

Well this is 5/5. There’s nothing like getting in your 87 Camaro top down with sweet child o man blazing and you roll up to the nudie joint with your buds. Ahhhhhhh those were the days

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Oct 18 2022

I love it. I used to think it was one of their worst albums but it has really grown on me

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Oct 19 2022

I was very surprised by this album. A lot of different sounds than I expected and it was a great lesson.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Oct 20 2022

It was good but nothing mind blowing for me. Tool is a lot bettee

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Oct 21 2022

Couldn’t finish it. Was realllllllly boring

Revolver by Beatles
Oct 25 2022

I mean it’s the Beatles. Also revolver has my all time favorite Beatles song Eleanor rigby. So that’s a 5 from me

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Oct 28 2022

It just wasn’t really my deal. Couldn’t connect with it

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Nov 01 2022

I mean some great songs but also I just got really bored of love songs after awhile.

Odelay by Beck
Nov 10 2022

Some great songs on here

Garbage by Garbage
Nov 14 2022

Some great songs on the album but lagged a bit at some points.

Nov 22 2022

Really loved it. Was worried it was going to be kind of one note but thought there was a lot of exploration on the album.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Nov 23 2022

I like a lot on it except for that damn keyboard.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 05 2022
Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 12 2022

Amazing besides around the world but won’t take away the five

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Dec 13 2022

I loved this all the way through. Was perfect for a rainy San Diego day.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Dec 16 2022

I do not get them and the quality of the sound really takes me out of it.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 21 2022

Wonderful album throughout.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 23 2022

One of those first albums I really needed when I was a kid. Filled out my nirvana and sublime obsession. It’s a damn good album and I’ll stick by that.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Dec 28 2022

Her voice is incredible. I don’t usually listen to this everyday but anytime Billie holiday gets out on I will listen to it all the way through. One of Americas all time greats.

Pump by Aerosmith
Jan 03 2023

If you know you know

Ten by Pearl Jam

Feb 02 2023
Kid A by Radiohead

Billies best!

1999 by Prince
Feb 17 2023

Love me some prince. Every track is a banger.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Feb 24 2023

Was super impressed by this album. Very rarely will I listen to a double album all the way through and this kept me entertained throughout. Will be listening again for aure

Feb 27 2023

I can’t believe this is from the 70s. All of the post punk that I love now is directly influenced from talking heads. Dave Byrne can’t miss.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Mar 01 2023

Top 5 album of all time for me

Phrenology by The Roots
Mar 07 2023

It was chill

Nowhere by Ride
Mar 16 2023

Great album especially for the raining weather.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 21 2023

Some great songs but it’s also a snoozer of an album at times

GREY Area by Little Simz
Mar 28 2023

Was cool

Damaged by Black Flag
Mar 29 2023

Tv party

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 17 2023
Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Nov 20 2023

Love everything about this album.

Wild Gift by X
Nov 29 2023

Overall X just isnt for me. I have had a hard time getting into their style of "punk". I understand their influence but that era of new wave punk just isnt my jam.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Nov 30 2023
The Undertones by The Undertones
Dec 01 2023

I liked the idea of it but could not make it through the whole album.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Dec 04 2023

The hits are great but I found the album tedious and boring overall.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 07 2023

Ive never really listened to elvis costello and I enjoyed it. Was nothing mind blowing but I could see myself exploring his discography.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Dec 08 2023

I really enjoyed!

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Dec 11 2023

One note got bored really quick. Was never a huge soundgarden fan during the time and re listening to it made me realize I was fine not having it in my grunge library.

Harvest by Neil Young
Dec 12 2023
Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Dec 13 2023

Interesting sound. ENjoyed the album throughout.

Different Class by Pulp
Jan 11 2024

Wonderful album. Jarvis is one of the best front man. I dont know if it gets five stars but for me its four. Its varied interesting and catchy as hell.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jan 17 2024

Really enjoying the production on this album. Her voice is perfect for the weird beats, clicks and sounds that create an unsettling beautiful atmosphere.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Mar 21 2024

The opening track is so iconic. I don’t know if it’s nostalgia or if they are just a great group but this album still hits hard.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 25 2024

The best.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 26 2024

First impressions I liked it more than I thought I would. Arrangements are cool and it’s really interesting seeing where Sufjan ripped his style from. Saying that so long Frank Lloyd wright had me laughing what was that?

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Mar 27 2024

The random guitar notes that have no point annoy the shit out of me.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Mar 28 2024

Don’t really see the significance of this album. It’s fine for a 70s glam rock record but didn’t find anything special
