Popular Reviews

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris

If her mid-career stuff is this good, then I really need to check out her earlier stuff…and everything else.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies

The Cramps before The Cramps

Definitely Maybe by Oasis

I’ve loved this his album since I first heard it in 1994.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine

I love it when the Generator picks an album that’s been a favorite of mine for years.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Aug 01 2022

I heard it a bunch when it came out. Loved the hell out of it, but I think I like Late Registration a little more.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Aug 02 2022

I’ve loved this his album since I first heard it in 1994.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Aug 03 2022

The only jam that I was already familiar with was Elvis’ version of Fever. Dirty, Dirty Feeling fucking slaps. The album sounds exactly how I thought it would sound, but with a bunch of songs that I didn’t already know. No big surprises today, but that’s ok.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Aug 04 2022

I guess I'm just not into mellow brit pop unless it's Pulp. This was a chore to listen to.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Aug 05 2022

No one else has ever made anger sound so beautiful.

Pump by Aerosmith
Aug 06 2022

The album cuts are almost as good as the hits.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Aug 07 2022

I almost didn’t want to listen became an ex used to ruin Criminal at karaoke a lot, but I’m glad I did.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Aug 08 2022

The Cramps before The Cramps

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Aug 10 2022

It had a Grace Jones vibe that I never noticed.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Aug 12 2022

It’s nice and mellow listen, even it hipster CSNY/CSN knock-offs aren’t your jam.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Aug 15 2022

Decent background music.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Aug 17 2022

If her mid-career stuff is this good, then I really need to check out her earlier stuff…and everything else.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Aug 19 2022

Hadn’t heard it since the release.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 20 2022
A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Aug 21 2022

The best way to start any morning.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 22 2022

It was a great soundtrack to a wonderful Sunday morning drive.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Aug 23 2022

The only ‘70s hard rock show tunes I’d fuck with are Alice Coopers.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 24 2022

This shit rules.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Aug 25 2022

Pretty bubblegum pop

Connected by Stereo MC's
Aug 26 2022

Sorry bruv, but I can’t stand listening to Brits rap. I was out after 4 or 5 tracks.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 27 2022

Better than Psychocandy and Automatic

Arrival by ABBA
Aug 28 2022

Fuck that

Sep 01 2022

My 2nd or 3rd album on this thing was The Verve’s Urban Hymns. My review was something like, I only like slow Brit pop if it’s Pulp. This is the album I was referring to.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Sep 02 2022
Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Sep 04 2022

I dug the stuff on the album that didn’t sound so much like CSN

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Sep 09 2022

It’s for sure in the top 5 best hip hop album of the ‘90s. Maybe top 5 of all time.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

It used to be my favorite Smiths album, w but it gets harder to listen to as Morrissey becomes a bigger twat.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Sep 11 2022

I like them more when they’re not trying to be Oasis so hard.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Sep 12 2022

I thought this was already in my record collection and was mad at myself when I realized I didn’t.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Sep 16 2022

Haunting, somber, achingly beautiful, and powerful.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Sep 17 2022

Halfway through I started to wish I was listening to Exile on Main St instead.

Aja by Steely Dan
Sep 18 2022

Fuck these critics and their love of Steely Dan

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 19 2022

I love it when the Generator picks an album that’s been a favorite of mine for years.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 20 2022

Hard pass on anything after One Hot Minute.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Sep 21 2022

Sounded like the other early OMD stuff that I’ve also heard and liked.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Sep 22 2022

Classic

1999 by Prince
Sep 23 2022

Great but maybe shouldn’t have been a double album.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Sep 24 2022

The horns make late ‘60s Elvis sound cheesy and fun.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Sep 25 2022

A funky good time.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Sep 27 2022

Almost as good of a live album as The Stone’s Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Sep 28 2022

A little more rocking than most bubblegum pop from that era.

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 01 2022
Frank by Amy Winehouse
Oct 03 2022

I appreciated it more on this listen than I did years ago, when I heard it around the time Back to Black came out.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Oct 05 2022

Didn't like it then, not in the mood to try liking it now.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Oct 07 2022

Definitely his most fun album.
