Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Sep 01 2022
Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Sep 05 2022

I only have two artists blocked on Spotify, and Morrissey is both of them. Unblocked just to listen again. Still a decent enough album if it perhaps feels a bit more "samey" than it used to, it now feels like once you've heard one or two Smiths songs you've heard them all.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Sep 06 2022

Never heard this before, had no idea what to expect. Enjoyed it.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Sep 07 2022

Could quite easuly be an album from the late 70s. Decent album and one I'll likely listen to again, but to me it's more "background" music than music I'd set aside time to listen to.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

I only have two artists blocked on Spotify, and Morrissey is both of them. Unblocked just to listen again. This one is at least better than Meat IsMurder, but I'd much rather live my life without Morrissey being in it in any way

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Sep 11 2022

Never listened to it before, now already listened to it three times

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Sep 14 2022

Only four tracks on Spotify but decent

Tommy by The Who
Sep 26 2022
Sep 28 2022

One or two decent tracks but the rest feels like it's trying to hard to be "grown up". Too many ballads.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Oct 12 2022
Black Metal by Venom
Oct 14 2022

Wikipedia says it was groundbreaking when it first came out but now it all sort of just merges into one

Rocks by Aerosmith
Oct 16 2022
Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Oct 17 2022

More Morrissey? When will the suffering end?

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Oct 21 2022

Except for the frequent mention of pagers, this feels like it could have been released any time in the last 30 years. It doesn't sound dated, though several of the lyrics perhaps are.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Oct 22 2022
Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Oct 23 2022

For an album released before I was born, I'm honestly surprised by how fresh this sounds.

Kenya by Machito
Oct 28 2022

Not my thing

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Nov 09 2022
Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Nov 19 2022

Not really my thing, but fine background music. The copy on Spotify seems to have been ripped from a scratched CD or something as the last two tracks have a barely perceptible but annoying click all the way through

Murmur by R.E.M.
Nov 22 2022
Kala by M.I.A.
Dec 01 2022
Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Dec 02 2022

Very early-70s feel to a lot of it, interesting

Dare! by The Human League
Dec 09 2022
I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jan 11 2023

Really struggled to get past the annoying voice on what could otherwise have likely been a decent album :(

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 29 2023

Unexpected middle part!

GI by Germs
Feb 01 2023
The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Feb 04 2023

I think you need to be in the right mood to enjoy this album, but when that's the case, it's perfect.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Feb 06 2023
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 07 2023
Feast of Wire by Calexico
Mar 22 2023

Never heard of the band before, and it was nothing like I though tit would be. Enjoyable but likely not one I return to

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
May 14 2023
Smash by The Offspring
May 16 2023
Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
