Popular Reviews

Group Sex by Circle Jerks

14 songs in 15 minutes. This is punk rock. They weren’t the first ones to do it but they may be the best.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report

Not in the mood, not sure what mood I would have to be in actually.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray

Right off the bat I'm like I LOVE THIS, midway through the song I realize I've been listening to this for 5 years. It's the intro to Vikings. Can't wait to dig further. OK finished the album and I'm on my second listen. Loved it. Maybe the best thing I've discovered doing this.

Growing up in Texas these guys were a big deal. Toxic masculinity at its core. These guys are also right wing nut jobs. So Fuck them.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down

SPIDERS, this song is so amazing. I first heard it on the Scream 3 soundtrack, I really love this album. I sit, in my desolate room, no lights, no music, just anger.

Jul 11 2022

That Thing, Everything is Everything, To Zion and Ex-Factor are my favorite tracks off this amazing album. Very Iconic. She needs to be celebrated.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jul 12 2022

I love the blues and I've never given the Allman Brothers much of a listen beyond the standards. Sweet Melissa being my favorite. This Album was good, It would have been great to see them live but man, jam sessions are exhausting.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jul 13 2022

I appreciate Bob Dylan as an artist but his style has never really connected me. As an artist I appreciate what he was doing but to me it felt like he was trying to not try. If I was living in NYC in 1960 my perception would be different.

Jul 14 2022

Such a great album, Very underappreciated in my early years, and REM's Out of Time is what catapulted me into music. Early on I really like what was on the radio, when I heard the album for the first time I would skip to the songs I liked. Glad I get to listen to it with new ears.

The White Album by Beatles
Jul 15 2022

Just incredible, so many iconic songs.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jul 18 2022

Really interesting. I've been listening to a lot of meditation tracks on Spotify and this pushed a lot of those buttons. The electric guitar threw me off but I enjoyed this listen.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jul 19 2022

I was clearly not listening to the right radio stations in '92. I didn't hear about PJ Harvey until down by the water came out. These song were good, a mix between pop and punk, she is finding her place. Rid of Me is the first full album I listened to and loved from her, followed by To Bring you my Love.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Jul 20 2022

Gang of Four is right up my alley....This is my Saturday get shit done around the house type of music. I was only 4 when this album came out and so I really missed this wave for the most part. at that time if it wasn't on MTV I didn't hear it. There were glimpses and whispers. Now in my late 40's I get it.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 21 2022

What an enjoyable listen, I knew of their song Lucky man but had never given them a listen. I feel like we should be playing D &D and slaying dragons.... +1 intellect and +1 Stamina for listening to the whole thing.

Nixon by Lambchop
Jul 22 2022

Not exactly my forte, Its somewhere between Ween and Pavement. Kind of chill, maybe too chill. I wanted it to go "off" at some point and it just kind of went. The band was clearly great, really good sound, but you know.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 25 2022

I was excited to see this album pop up. I love Simon and Garfunkel.

The Man Who by Travis
Jul 26 2022

Initially it sounds like a litany of bands that came out at the time. Keane, Train even newer Radiohead etc. I've heard why does it always rain on me but that's it. Maybe the Buzz played it. It was a fine listen but I don't seek out this genre.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 27 2022

YO! I've never heard a whole album by Elvis, I've enjoyed his music forever and have many songs in multiple playlists. I added a couple songs to my liked songs playlist. A little Elvis goes a long way.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Jul 28 2022

Excited for this one, Dinosaur Jr. is the band I like but don't know much about. Their album "Without a sound" is in my rotation. With Feel the pain being the biggest song I know. Crazy to think these bands were doing this way before we found them... I had to do some research, Just like heaven was added later, this album originally released in '87 the same year The Cure put out the song. This album was re released later with the track added. Robert Smith, according to Wikipedia called this his favorite cover of the song and it even influenced how they play it live. Very cool. Album added to my favorites.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 29 2022

My 8 year old self loved this more than anything. The art is great.

Aug 01 2022

I just watched something about these guys the other day about how they took heavy metal and made it where you could dance to it. I had the Fat of the Land album. I rocked that for a long time. This reminds me of the Church in Denver Colorado. Multi floor dance club made out of a 100 year old church. They had a techno floor and it was chaotic. https://coclubs.com/church It was a great time. That was then, now Techno is just annoying after the first 2 minutes.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 02 2022

These guys were singing about real life at the same time that others were telling stories about the "gangsta" lifestyle. I listened to them in the beginning but they didn't resonate with me. Maybe it was too real. I get it now. It all feels like "The Wire" to me. I feel like the album played a little slow then they really found their voice. Legends.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Aug 03 2022

And here I thought Rob Zombie drew these pictures... If this album were a movie, Martin Scorsese would consider it Cinema. This is a group of guys who were too late for the punk movement and too old for the hair metal movement. Somewhere in between is not a good place to be. I'm going to listen to Portishead.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Aug 04 2022

Holy Shit. This is fucking awesome. It's not all great, it's pretty raw, but it's enough for me to like the album.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Aug 05 2022

I don't speak Spanish. Nothing really grabbed me here. Music was just ok.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Aug 08 2022

Never Listened to a whole Frank album from front to end. It's a lot. I like to sprinkle Frank in between the 4 tops and Sammy Davis and Dean Martin.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Aug 09 2022

not my favorite Lou Reed, Still Great.

Risque by CHIC
Aug 10 2022

I get it Chic. My feet keep dancing too. You can hear where so many others came from.

Aug 11 2022

Oh Shit. This is going to be great. Wow, I loved the intro where he told the crowd what to expect. My man was 30 when this was recorded and he sounded like he was 60. I mean any album with Try me on it will get 5 stars automatically, that song is sooooo amazing. His command of an audience is incredible. They are hanging on every word.

Fun House by The Stooges
Aug 12 2022

Good album, quite iconic, they were punk but more melodic, pretty wild. I Enjoyed it. Iggy Pop is great.

American Idiot by Green Day
Aug 15 2022

Never been a Green Day fan even though they create catchy songs with good melodies and hooks. I've heard many of these songs at nauseum on the radio over the last 18 years.

Be by Common
Aug 16 2022

Good album, Never heard a whole Common album before. He's very serious.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Aug 17 2022

This Album is peak Iggy, Just iconic.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Aug 18 2022

Interesting, this somewhat felt like a big F U to the record company. Like when Ben Folds wrote "One down". That being said he has an incredible voice and his rendition of Baby Baby was great.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Aug 19 2022

The perfect mix of 80's synth and 90's bad pop. Marky Mark clearly stole good vibration from the first track. At one time the even said new vibration. Nope.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Aug 22 2022

The guy is a genius, his macabre persona within a little rock pop mixed in was a big deal back in the day. He walked so others could run.

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 23 2022

Love Bowie but this is a weird album.

John Prine by John Prine
Aug 24 2022

John Prine has been long considered Country royalty. His amazing story telling really sets him apart for me. You can't really sing along with his songs but you can feel them. Even if its telling stories about people from the 50's. To me, John Prine is the music equivalent of the American Gothic painting or a Louie Lamore book. You get a real glimpse into life of the times.

Aug 25 2022

Very Punk. Way more Punk than I knew. I hate to say I told you so was a big song when it came out but they didn't catch on in the states. I think these guys would be huge if they came out today.

Aug 29 2022

pretty good, experimental. I like some of Yes' songs.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 01 2022

Not for me.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Sep 05 2022

Love this Album, added it to my favorites.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Sep 13 2022

I've listened to this album about 1000 times.

Cross by Justice
Sep 14 2022

Here I thought it was Daft Punk all along.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 15 2022

Love it. I really underestimated this band in the beginning.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Sep 16 2022

Good album. Can't believe I've never heard it.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Sep 19 2022

Such a lovely album. What is life is such an incredible song.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Sep 22 2022

I like some Goldfrapp, this was less dance pop. Just ok.

Sep 23 2022

Wow, I really enjoyed that, I guess they play these guys on the Bridge.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Sep 26 2022

Pretty Iconic, still hear a lot of this on the radio.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Sep 28 2022

Loved it. It was melodic and repetitive and chaotic.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Sep 29 2022

Very smooth, I like Beach House, not an everyday listen but Space Song is one of my favorites.

Sep 30 2022

Growing up in Texas these guys were a big deal. Toxic masculinity at its core. These guys are also right wing nut jobs. So Fuck them.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Oct 04 2022

Better than I thought it was going to be. Never been a Maiden fan but it was decent. The heavier side of hair metal, these guys have a cult following.

Signing Off by UB40
Oct 06 2022

I really enjoyed this. They were doing it long before I knew about them...

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Oct 07 2022

Really interesting, I thought for sure this was a newer band then I saw the year it came out. original hipsters.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 10 2022

Enjoyable, We've heard a lot of Nick Cave so far.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Oct 13 2022

Enjoyable, Groove is in the heart was a jam.

London Calling by The Clash
Oct 14 2022

Now that I'm older I realized these guys were really just pop. dirty grungy pop.

2112 by Rush
Oct 19 2022

better than expected.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Oct 21 2022

Hippyville. Fascinating story on the lead singer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Denny

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Oct 26 2022

Decent, some iconic songs on it. I've always like Aerosmith.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 28 2022

It's a little slow for me. Like the antithesis of Grunge really.

Nov 01 2022

I really enjoyed this, I've heard of them but never listened. I recognized one of their songs from Die Antwoord (Ugly Boy)

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Nov 02 2022

Andy Warhol might be the badest song he made. That was a Jam..

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Nov 04 2022

Forgettable, I like the previous album. This on was just fine.

Pump by Aerosmith
Nov 07 2022

Some good songs, I've listened to enough Aerosmith.

Marquee Moon by Television
Nov 09 2022

Never heard of them, Really good. Some of their songs sound like Violent Femmes.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Nov 22 2022

What a ride! I thought the guy had an interesting voice when the music sounded like U2, country elements with a steel guitar and then BAM they became an Irish band and it all made sense. An enjoyable album. At times I had sworn I've heard them before or maybe it was just glimpses of sounds before and after them. Sweet Thing was my favorite track.

Metallica by Metallica
Nov 23 2022

Already in my liked albums list. Iconic.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Nov 24 2022

Great listening, some amazing songs on this album.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Nov 29 2022

Really enjoyed this album. Nothing's shocking has always been my favorite but this is just as great,

OK Computer by Radiohead
Nov 30 2022

Good listen, I lost interest in them when the rest of their album didn't sound like creep. That being said, this was a really good listening experience.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Dec 01 2022

Great album by the Beastie Boys. Great opening to the album and Sabotage is just great. Watch this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ5yKJlhbiA

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Dec 02 2022

Clearly in pain, this album was hard to listen to.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Dec 05 2022

Couple of notable songs, the rest is like the bands name. pretty bland.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Dec 06 2022

Sounded great in the beginning. Fizzled by the end.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Dec 07 2022

Not for me. I stopped after 5 songs.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 08 2022

Nothing wrong with this album. RIP Christine.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Dec 09 2022

Before seeing them live I would have given this a 2. But having the pleasure of seeing them recently, I get it. Such a good band.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Dec 15 2022

Such a great album, beautiful voice. tragic life.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Dec 19 2022

I enjoyed this album, but White Rabbit is so incredible nothing else really compared to it.

American Pie by Don McLean
Dec 20 2022

What a great album. I had no idea. His soft vocals melodic music and well written songs would have a place in today's music.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Dec 21 2022

Heard it before. Many iconic songs.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Dec 22 2022

I never got into Sonic Youth. They weren't played on local radio. Didnt realize they started in '81.

High Violet by The National
Dec 30 2022

really uninteresting album. Low droning vocal is overdone. Band sounded good though.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 02 2023

great voice and pretty remarkable first album.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jan 03 2023

Nice album, A bit too much Electric for me but I love the vocals and how eccentric they were for the day.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jan 04 2023

I like the Pixies, I don't love the Pixies. I didn't get into them until later in life. That being said... Where is my mind is one of my top songs of all time. The magic they had on that track was never reached again in my eyes. They have some good tracks Who has them as their favorite band? 55 year old's who did a lot of acid in the early 90's? What situations is this music your go to? When you have reached fuck it. You just lost your 20 year job waiter job because your 20 year old manager was being a dick. You get in your dodge neon and crank this till your pioneer speakers blow. Maybe I just don't get it.

Achtung Baby by U2
Jan 05 2023

As obnoxious as U2 can be and has been. They have created some amazing music and this album is proof. Frank Sinatra said the song One is the greatest love song ever written, and its my second favorite song on this album. Favorite Track: Until the end of the World Who is this music for? People who like good music. When do you play it? When you're getting it on. Or not getting it on.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Jan 06 2023

I enjoyed this. Thought it was melodic at times and hard at times. You could tell they influenced many prog rock bands. Favorite Track: Tomorrow's world

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jan 10 2023

It's an amazing thing to be completely unique yet sound so familiar, with hints of NWA, Grand master flash and a tribe called quest these guys were rapping about topics still viable today and we also viable 20 years before them. This has beats you can dance to.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Jan 11 2023

Good album, never been a fan of them because of the big theatrical vocals. I know that's what draws some people to them. from a music standpoint they are amazing. The grandfathers of modern rock. Favorite song: The prisoner

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Jan 12 2023

Interesting album, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm surprised I haven't heard this before, Listening to a lot of neutral Milk Hotel and the Decemberists plays a lot of indie folk after the albums are done.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jan 13 2023

Connected was one of those songs that was played all over the place. You couldn't get away from it. Now here we are.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 16 2023

Trying to work and listening to this was giving me anxiety, I need to listen when I'm just chilling. But as of now. 3 stars.

Jan 17 2023

At 9 songs and 36 min. Rappenin IS what's happenin "ODB." This was great, I love their mix of sampling kung fu movies and old tracks you wouldn't expect.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Jan 20 2023

Love the Cardigans. the band sounds great, and the lead vocals are delightful.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 23 2023

Ehhh its fine. I didn't grow to appreciate "Young" Neil Young till I was older, So, it will take me some time with middle aged Neil Young.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Jan 24 2023

Another album not on Spotify... The good part of this is I found a live version which is always the best version.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jan 26 2023

Very Chill, I had no idea what to expect. I'll definitely listen to it again. I didn't get all the way through the album but I got a good-sized portion of it. I'll hit it up again sometime.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jan 27 2023

It was a good album; I have many fond memories from this time period.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jan 30 2023

Very enjoyable. A much smoother vibe.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Feb 02 2023

I'm not in love is an amazing song. It's not on this album.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Feb 03 2023

This was a really good album for me.

Drunk by Thundercat
Feb 06 2023

What a trip, some was great, some was just kind of meh.

Odelay by Beck
Feb 07 2023

I love Beck. I have for a long time. Beck doesn't always make sense. Musically he is great, like Thundercat, I'm not sure he always takes it seriously, but do you have to? Isn't that part of being an artist?

Violator by Depeche Mode
Feb 08 2023

Great album with some iconic songs. I don't listen to them enough. I really liked Mephisto.

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 10 2023

This was a great album. Not a bad song.

Feb 14 2023

I enjoyed this album the first time I listened to it. I really enjoyed it this time. I've never seen the movie or read the book, but the album tells a beautiful tragic story.

Protection by Massive Attack
Feb 15 2023

I never know what to think of Massive Attack. I like them, I might love them. I've never heard this album, but the first song has me already. Tracey Thorn has an incredible voice. They really seem to excel with female vocalists.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Feb 16 2023

Enjoyed this, I'll be looking further into their catalogue.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Feb 17 2023

These guys were having a fucking blast. I enjoy the blues and this is a disco version. It's enjoyable but in small doses.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 20 2023

Classic Beastie Boys. they seem like they were having fun. At some point in time every song sounds the same.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Feb 21 2023

Nice album, Crazy to think how Ziggy Stardust was done already. David Bowie managed to keep reinventing himself.

Feb 22 2023

After the first few songs I keep hearing the friends' theme, also big head Todd and the Monsters. Not going to finish,

21 by Adele
Feb 23 2023

Amazing voice, really good album.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Feb 24 2023

Incredibly produced. Ultra-violent. Art imitates life imitates art.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Feb 27 2023

Just fantastic. Love John Lee Hooker. Love this genre. Favorite song was In the Mood with Bonnie Raitt

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Feb 28 2023

I enjoyed this; I need to listen to it again.

Cut by The Slits
Mar 01 2023

Pretty innovative. Not very well produced. Sounded pretty thin.

Boston by Boston
Mar 03 2023

Everything good about Rock and Roll came from Boston.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Mar 28 2023

Great album, it really hit a nerve in '99. I'm not sure anyone realized you could really say whatever you wanted on an album until this came out. Nothing was off limits, and no one pushed boundaries like Eminem.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Mar 29 2023

Such a beautiful voice. Not my genre.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Mar 30 2023

SPIDERS, this song is so amazing. I first heard it on the Scream 3 soundtrack, I really love this album. I sit, in my desolate room, no lights, no music, just anger.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 31 2023

Beautiful album, lots of pain in her voice.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Apr 04 2023

It was fine.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Apr 05 2023

Beautiful album, I listened to it again when I got home, and it sounded even better.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Apr 06 2023

Great album, she took what was good about hiphop in the 80's and 90's and added to it.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Apr 07 2023

Right off the bat I'm like I LOVE THIS, midway through the song I realize I've been listening to this for 5 years. It's the intro to Vikings. Can't wait to dig further. OK finished the album and I'm on my second listen. Loved it. Maybe the best thing I've discovered doing this.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Apr 10 2023

Pretty iconic, this doesn't sound much different than a lot of what I hear on this indie pop list I've been listening to.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Apr 11 2023

One of my favorite albums of all time. I first heard about it from the movie Fast times at Ridgemont High. it did not disappoint.

Apr 14 2023

I am a huge Nirvana fan and always have been since I heard the first lick of Smells like teen spirit. I always wonder about the people that got to see that show live knew how special it was going to be.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Apr 17 2023

Gary Numan was clearly a genius. Still sampled to this day, he created some groundbreaking sounds. He is the sound of the 80's

Horses by Patti Smith
Apr 18 2023

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine. What a great line. Just from the first song you see where all the female artists from the 90's got their inspiration. It all sounds like musical theater. As a theater guy you figure I would like it more.

Elastica by Elastica
Apr 19 2023

It was ok, I loved the connection but I've always loved the connection.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Apr 20 2023

This was a really good album. I enjoyed it.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Apr 21 2023

Beautiful album, but it's like Superstitious came from another planet. I learned of a few other songs I haven't heard before.

Fragile by Yes
Apr 24 2023

Yes is on my mind a lot. The base, the harmonics, the voice, the fact that I sing roundabout, sometimes out loud, every time I take a roundabout.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Apr 25 2023

Trouble is one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard. Good album.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Apr 27 2023

I owned this on tape. It's not my fault, my mom bought it for me. It made them Millions.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Apr 28 2023

Not in the mood, not sure what mood I would have to be in actually.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
May 01 2023

I liked this much more than I expected to.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
May 02 2023

Loved every second of this. I saw these guys in Dallas with A Perfect Circle in the summer of 2000. Best summer of my life.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
May 03 2023

It was a lot.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
May 04 2023

Beautiful album, beautiful voice. Not the right vibe at the moment, I'll revisit at a later time.

Goo by Sonic Youth
May 05 2023

I loved this. I haven't listened to them much through the years, 88 - 92 I was a kid and listening to more country, so I missed these guys and the Pixies.. I'm in it now.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 08 2023

I had this tape as a 7th grader, it was great then. Since then Axel's vocals just didn't do it for me but you cant deny this albums greatness.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 09 2023

This was no Rumors.

Country Life by Roxy Music
May 10 2023

The album cover is great. Let's see about the message. Very 80's, very Bowie and Lou Reed.

War by U2
May 11 2023

It's no Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby but it was a decent album.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
May 16 2023

Classic and way better than the 80's deserved.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
May 17 2023

This is my favorite Pj album.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
May 22 2023

I LOVE Muddy Waters, he's on constantly in my home.

Harvest by Neil Young
May 23 2023

Great album, he really grew on me.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
May 24 2023

It was good, I just never got into them. Clearly they are a good band. just not my jam.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
May 25 2023

This is a vibe. Fantastic album, maybe because I've listened to it quite a bit, but I really enjoyed it.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 31 2023

I enjoy Elvis Costello in small bits. this was a good album.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Jun 01 2023

Good band, Never heard of them but they know what they are doing. Familiar baselines.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Jun 02 2023

I listen to this often. Such a good album.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jun 05 2023

Good mix of blues and rock. Nothing really stood out but it was a solid album.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jun 06 2023

10. It’s a 10.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 08 2023

He sounds like John Prine in the first song. There is no fun here. This is all miserable. Like the 70’s for people who don’t like disco.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jun 09 2023

I thought it was like the Flaming Lips but not as good. It had its moments. They were ahead of the game.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jun 13 2023

I’ve like the stooges stuff before but this was not Monday morning listening. I’d listen to this if I had just done a bump of coke because I needed to get the tranny out, fixed and back in before sunrise. All by myself without a lift.

Jun 15 2023

Good album, had a couple of great songs in there. His voice is so unique he makes the most boring song interesting.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jun 19 2023

Never been a big Judas Priest fan, mainly because I’ve never heard any songs other than what they play on 101 the fox. . Athat being said. They are clearly really good. This should be a fun listen.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jun 20 2023

This was a great album. So many good songs and to think it came out in ‘71.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Jun 21 2023

Very interesting, I love this music. Much of it sounds the same being I don’t speak the language but the music is beautiful.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 22 2023

Just ok. I feel like it work listening to them.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Jun 23 2023

I love this album. I discovered it just a few years ago but I listen to it quite often. It doesn’t work if you are just listening as an album. I like to imagine a story so the instrumental tracks work for me. I love this.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jun 26 2023

This band is just incredible. I just don’t hear them on the radio. That being said I don’t really listen to a radio station that would play them. I hear a lot of Dillon in his voice. It was a good album.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jun 27 2023

Really good album. I’m molecularly connected to Into the Mystic. One night on a backroad with the windows down and wind blowing in my hair. Magical. The rest of the album was great. Very jazzy. Some blues. Just great.

Jun 28 2023

What a trip. I was never a Dwight Yoakam guy. Listening to this now is like a whole new genre of country. I can imagine the people that love this, LOVE this. It was a good album. still not for me. I feel like if I was living in South West Texas this could be right up my alley.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jun 29 2023

Good album. She is so talented. Kansas City kid has done well.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Jun 30 2023

Really enjoyed this album. Rod Stewart has a great voice and these were some well written songs.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jul 04 2023

Good album, really soft and smooth. I liked the intertwining of the African music. I didn’t get it when it came out with him or Peter Gabriel. But I get it now.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Jul 05 2023

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great sounds. I just wish I had more ears.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jul 06 2023

I can’t say for sure they weren’t making it up as they go. Pretty incredible. Can you imagine being the guy on the triangles. Man I get to shine in 25 minutes.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jul 07 2023

Decent album, has the 2 best versions of their 2 best songs

My Generation by The Who
Jul 10 2023

Never been a big fan of the Who. I get the cultural significance, but meh. Baba orielly is incredible.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 11 2023

I loved this. These guys are the Nirvana of their era. They changed music. I’ll listen to this again.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Jul 12 2023

I thought this was great. So bluesy. I really can’t believe they don’t get played on classic rock stations. Maybe it’s just a bit too old but I love the blues.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jul 14 2023

14 songs in 15 minutes. This is punk rock. They weren’t the first ones to do it but they may be the best.

The Score by Fugees
Jul 17 2023

This is a great album. It’s really runny to me though. People doing a Jamaican accent for reggae is hilarious.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jul 18 2023

I thought this was really ahead of it’s time.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Jul 20 2023

I wasn’t familiar with all the songs but they all sounded great. Added to my rotation.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jul 21 2023

I really loved this. All of it was good but when they soften up a bit, man they are special. The vocals fit perfectly with the music. Great band.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jul 24 2023

Good album, maybe my favorite Bowie album. Seems like every album has a couple of bangers and other songs I don’t get but this was all good.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jul 25 2023

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Loved the sound.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Aug 01 2023

Good album. Sounds like Bob. We’ve done a lot of Bob at this point.

Roots by Sepultura
Aug 09 2023

This is what I thought it would be. I’ve seen the cover art but never given it a listen. After you get through the gutteral vocals. There is some great music in here.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Aug 11 2023

I liked this a lot. It gave me Lemonhead vibes.

Parklife by Blur
Aug 15 2023

Pretty iconic album. Watched a tv special about there and Oasis’s battle to be Britain’s top band. The initial track was played in American radio but that was about it. I guess they were huge in England.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Aug 17 2023

This was enjoyable. As long as she doesn’t get into a rap battle with Eminem she’ll be fine. I loved how she had a positive message to go with good beats. Very well done and I had no idea this came out in the 80’s.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Aug 18 2023

Frank was a musical savant. This was a good album. Musically just amazing.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Aug 21 2023

I like Elliot Smith ok, he makes it seem like he struggles to get the sound out. To me every song is sung the same. This album is no different.

Homework by Daft Punk
Aug 22 2023

It’s a good album. Got to be in the right time and place.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Aug 23 2023

Lovely album. Good listening, I’ll listen again.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Aug 24 2023

I thought this was just ok. I listened to it loud.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Aug 25 2023

Really interesting. I didn’t know what to think. Well produced. I like the various vocalists.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Aug 28 2023

Good album. Some of the best Bowie we’ve had.

Aug 29 2023

Beautiful album, some songs I’ve never heard but there is enough here to go 5.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 05 2023

One of my favorites.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 06 2023

Another one of my favorites. Just amazing. Dave Grohl is so talented to play all parts then get a band together.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Sep 07 2023

I absolutely loved this. I didn’t think I would but then I just kept listening. Loved it.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Sep 26 2023

I really enjoy this music. Just a bunch of old heads playing music. Love it.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Sep 27 2023

I enjoyed this, Tessa and I used to listen to a lot of G love. In the early 2ks.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Sep 28 2023

Interesting. Very 90’s. I’ll listen to it again.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Sep 29 2023

This was really good. I enjoy Taylor Swifts music. Love the bin over song a lot. This is not her best album.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Oct 02 2023

Never heard this. Love the harmonica. Amazing composition. Good album.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Oct 03 2023

What a beautiful album. I’ve listened before but it sounded really good today. I never got into these guys until recently.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Oct 05 2023

Iconic album. These guys were the 80’s. Not all of their lyrics stand up to todays standards but we’re a bit sensitive these days. Great memories from this album.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Oct 06 2023

This was a great album. He’s tortured. For all his faults and the frenzy that he creates. He’s really fucking talented.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Oct 09 2023

This was 22 minutes of Jerry Lee Lewis just burning the whole fucking place down. Brilliant.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Oct 10 2023

I thought this was well done. He has a great voice and the Composition is nice.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Oct 11 2023

Apparently, these guys just created all the best beats over the last 20 years.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Oct 12 2023

You can tell he was tired of singing all his old songs. He put zero effort into them. Later in the album, though he got really good song overall, this is a 2 for me.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 13 2023

Johnny Cash was just an anomaly. He was bigger than life yet completely relatable. He loved performing. You would have to,to go to multiple prisons like he did. He didn’t seem to put himself above anyone. Glad we got to hear it.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Oct 16 2023

Such a good voice. Well written songs. I enjoyed this album a lot.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Oct 17 2023

Just incredible. Can’t believe this was 73. Their blues and rock are just perfect.

The Cars by The Cars
Oct 18 2023

Love this. It’s in our rotation. The cars are the 80’s. For me.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Oct 19 2023

I enjoyed this, I remember when these guys hit the scene. I didn’t like them at first but music was in a weird place. The changing of the guard had happened. Out was grunge and in was this new rock. I really like these guys now.

Oct 20 2023

There is a level of cool that none of us will ever obtain. That’s the Tom Waits level. It would have been really cool to see this live. Just a musical poet with a piano and some scotch.

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 23 2023

I enjoyed this. She is really talented. I never listen to the whole thing, so it was nice to hear.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Oct 24 2023

Loved it. It was rock and blues and pop and country. And dragons and knights. What’s not to love.

Soul Mining by The The
Oct 25 2023

What a beautiful album. It’s hard to believe this came out in 83. The lack of synth pop drums Really blurred the lines of time for me. There were some canned drum beats, but just overall was really really good. I learned of the the from my wife. They are her favorite band.

Third by Soft Machine
Oct 26 2023

This gave me King Crimson vibes. Pretty crazy, music like this was getting created and stayed relatively obscure. I loved it though.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Oct 27 2023

This guy is so talented. I enjoyed this. Some really great racks on here.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Oct 30 2023

Not a big fan of this. Just not my groove.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Oct 31 2023

I enjoyed this. I’m not a huge fan of jazz yet, but I love the blues. This was a good mix.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Nov 02 2023

They would be ahead of their time in any era. Good album. Some iconic songs.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Nov 03 2023

I really enjoyed this and I listened to a lot of gorillas after. Interesting story behind the band. The Brit’s really love singing about the Brit’s

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Nov 06 2023

Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Nov 07 2023

I thought it was fine. This was a big deal when I was younger.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Nov 08 2023

Pretty good album.from what I heard. It was mainly in the background. I’ll have to listen again but what I heard I liked.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Nov 09 2023

Didn’t really know what to think about this. I enjoyed it, but it’s not something I would seek out

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Nov 10 2023

I loved this album. I’ve always loved this album. Northern Star is amazing.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Nov 14 2023

This was my first experience with this album. It was really good. I wonder where Radiohead people put this in relation to their other albums.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 15 2023

This was great. I understand the appeal of this genre. Bob did it so well.

Technique by New Order
Nov 16 2023

I really enjoyed this. Right up my alley.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Nov 20 2023

I absolutely loved this.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Nov 22 2023

This was great. I have a special place in my heart for Tzezm.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Nov 23 2023

Great album. Old country is my jam.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Nov 24 2023

Iconic album. Came on the scene and just took over.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Nov 27 2023

Fantastic album. Lyrics are dated but it still holds up.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Nov 28 2023

I love the blues. Not a big fan of this composition though.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 30 2023

I loved this a lot. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but it was just fantastic. I remember buying this 2disk set when it came out and running up to my dorm room to listen on my stereo. The artwork was incredible, the videos were incredible. And the band had taken a turn from Siamese Dream. It was a great time. Love is my favorite track.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 01 2023

Nick Cave is like the uncle of all the music I listen to. I would like to find the people where Nick is the end all, be all best artist they’ve ever heard.

Dec 04 2023

I loved this. I loved this when it came out. I think this is the best of the genre. This sound is iconic.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 05 2023

Voice of an angel. This album is great and it get better as I get older. Imagine what incredible art he could have created.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Dec 13 2023

Thought this was good. I didn’t know of these guys, I think I would have really liked them.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Dec 14 2023

Pretty iconic. There was a lot of bangers on here. I liked them way more than I remember. When you look back on the best bands of any generation that you’ve been a part of. It’s easy to overlook some. These guys are among the best.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Mar 11 2024

I’ve never really been a Motörhead guy, and I’m probably not going to be after this. But that being said this is a pretty good album. Not my cup of tea anymore. Had I heard this earlier in life, I would probably made different mistakes than the ones I made.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Mar 12 2024

Joni is great, she has a great voice and is super talented. The album was fine.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 13 2024

Blondie is a good listen, they’re so iconic. That would’ve been a great time to be a young adult, and surprised any of them made it out of there alive.
