Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 14 2022

Not my favorite. Didn't realize LZ was bluesy (which I don't mind). Would probably be nice to listen to live.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 18 2022

Was meh.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jul 20 2022

Meh

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jul 21 2022

Cash is great. Not generally a fan of live recordings but this one was solid but it did leave out many of his songs I like the most.

Blur by Blur
Jul 22 2022

WOOHOO! Was better than I thought it'd be. 3.5 stars

Sound Affects by The Jam
Jul 25 2022

I didn't make notes on it last week and now I don't recall. Must not be memorable.

The Clash by The Clash
Jul 26 2022

Was decent.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Aug 01 2022

Was good! She has a good voice and the melodies are nice.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Aug 04 2022

Pretty good!

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Aug 09 2022

Not good.

En-Tact by The Shamen

Meh.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Aug 25 2022

Ok if you're in the mood for it.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Aug 31 2022

Link doesn't link to 3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul, but to The Missing Album by The Noel Redding Band.

Heroes by David Bowie
Sep 05 2022

Meh.

Low-Life by New Order
Sep 13 2022

OK. Unmemorable, but unoffensive.

Ctrl by SZA
Sep 22 2022

Better than I expected.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Sep 28 2022

Quite enjoyable.

1984 by Van Halen
Oct 04 2022

Meh.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Oct 05 2022

Not really my thing, for the most part.

Gold by Ryan Adams

Oct 14 2022

Eh.

xx by The xx
Oct 17 2022

Eh.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens

Forgettable, but not bad.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 25 2022

Fantastic.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Nov 11 2022

Not bad.

Illmatic by Nas
Nov 14 2022

More enjoyable than I thought it'd be.

Faith by George Michael
Nov 15 2022

Meh

Sea Change by Beck
Nov 21 2022

OK, but Lost Cause stands head and shoulders above the rest of the songs.

Cross by Justice
Nov 25 2022

Eh.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Dec 02 2022

Eh.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Dec 07 2022

Not bad.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Dec 16 2022

Better than I expected.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Dec 20 2022

Decent.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Dec 21 2022

Not good.

Dummy by Portishead
Dec 23 2022

Meh

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Dec 29 2022

Just makes me think of Toy Story. Not a huge fan of it TBH, even though on paper it seems like I should. Maybe like 2.5 stars?

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jan 06 2023

Not good.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jan 16 2023

No.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Jan 18 2023

Not great, but not terrible.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jan 19 2023

Eh.

Jan 23 2023

Not bad.

John Prine by John Prine
Jan 24 2023

Great album.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jan 25 2023

Not my cup o' tea.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 31 2023

At times a bit crude, but not bad.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Feb 06 2023

Not really my thing.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Feb 15 2023

Decent. Feels newer than 1973.

High Violet by The National
Feb 21 2023

Pretty enjoyable.

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

OK, but the trend of rappers having "skits" in their albums is perhaps a bit annoying.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 27 2023

Better than anticipated!

Eagles by Eagles
Mar 01 2023

OKish.

Mar 02 2023

Reminds me of Cake. Decent background music, but not sure I'll listen to this again.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 03 2023

Quite enjoyable, although the titular track is meh.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Mar 06 2023

Pretty good. Brings me back to my angsty childhood.

1999 by Prince
Mar 07 2023

IDK, kinda odd. What's with all the weird sexy time references.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Mar 14 2023

Not that great and the album title feels like they were trying too hard. Meh.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Mar 15 2023

Sounds nice and reminds me of Ryan Adams a bit.

OK by Talvin Singh
Mar 16 2023

OK.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Mar 22 2023

DNF Not my cup of tea

Medúlla by Björk
Mar 24 2023

Really kinda weird.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 27 2023

Kind of annoying.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Apr 07 2023

Could only listen to a few songs and didn't really care for it.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Apr 10 2023

Better than I thought it would be. Androgynous was the standout track for me.

Parachutes by Coldplay
May 11 2023

Not bad. Decent background music.

Document by R.E.M.
May 16 2023

Not bad.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
May 26 2023

Take Me Out is far and away a much catchier song than anything else on this album. I'm not surprised I hadn't heard any other songs from this album until now.

GREY Area by Little Simz
May 29 2023

Really enjoyable. I can tell I'm going to come back to this from time to time.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
May 30 2023

DNF. This is the kind of stuff that makes me question this list. Seems kind of generic, erring on the side of "this is just noise".

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 25 2023

An enjoyable listen. Great background music.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Oct 31 2023

IDK, fine I guess.

Boston by Boston
Nov 21 2023

OK, not great.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 16 2024

Not great. A little annoying and maybe a little pervy.

Metallica by Metallica
Feb 26 2024

I've never listened to this album in its entirety before, but it's obvious that this album was very influential in the space. Feels quite ahead of its time, like it wouldn't be out of place if it had been released 10 years ago.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Mar 29 2024

Not bad, but not something I'm going to listen to often. I heard a few songs that I didn't realize were made by her.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Apr 01 2024

Enjoyable background music.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 12 2024

OK. Didn't finish it.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 16 2024

Really solid album.

GI by Germs
Sep 27 2024

Noise.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 30 2024

Did not finish. Really, kind of annoying.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Oct 03 2024

A really solid album with a lot of power and uh... rage. Can't believe this was released in '92. Feels like it could be an album from this decade.

Arular by M.I.A.
Nov 13 2024

Did not finish. Meh.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Dec 02 2024

Not something I'd typically seek out but it was quite enjoyable.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Apr 01 2025

Not really my thing.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Jun 23 2025

It's OK. I prefer his more recent stuff but it's not bad.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jun 24 2025

Her stuff is kinda weird, like Regina Spektor. Not really much cup of tea, but I imagine there are a ton of people who find this album formative.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jun 25 2025

Decent, but more mentions of god than I'd like.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Jun 26 2025

Solid album. Enjoyable background music.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 22 2025

Could only listen to one song on Spotify. Was eh but can definitely tell it was influential for grunge and alt rock.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Solid. War Pigs is a banger of an opener.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jul 29 2025

It's OK. Kinda has Coldplay vibes but feels uninspired. Wouldn't recommend.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Oct 28 2025

Not available on Spotify.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Oct 30 2025

Thought I would like this more. Not terrible. Not great. Like 2.5 stars.

Fragile by Yes
Oct 31 2025

Not bad. Feels a bit dated, but probably ahead of it's time although it definitely has some keyboard bits that feel very much tied to the 60s and 70s. Not bad though.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Nov 03 2025

Such a great album. Eminem hit the ground running but he's refined his technique over the years. A great listen that still holds up today.

Nixon by Lambchop
Nov 04 2025

As a white person, this sounds like what people would probably call "inoffensive white people music". Chill, but very forgettable. Will not intentionally revisit, but if I heard these songs again I probably wouldn't recognize them.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jan 06 2026

Did not finish. WTF is this crap

Aja by Steely Dan
Mar 12 2026

OK, I suppose.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 13 2026

Didn't really stand out, but not bad.

Mask by Bauhaus
Mar 17 2026

Pretty good and feels ahead of its time.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Mar 18 2026

Not sure I have any emotional attachment to this, but it sounds nice.

Tical by Method Man
Mar 19 2026

DNF. Not bad, just not feeling it.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 20 2026

A really solid album. What struck me most was how ahead of its time it felt. Must've been very influential.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Mar 23 2026

Why does he do that crap with his voice? Makes otherwise decent stuff sound awful.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Mar 25 2026

Pretty good overall, but Aisha is cringe and bad.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Mar 26 2026

Pretty good, and definitely feels ahead of its time.

I See You by The xx
Mar 27 2026

Pretty good.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Apr 01 2026

Not good.
