Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Nov 22 2024

A good intro to this band but the next two albums are the best of them

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 25 2024

This album is dipped in double denim, ten gallon hats and a 20pk of Marlboro

Nov 27 2024

Some of this has aged well (stan, way I am & the real slim shady) but some of this hasn’t (Kim especially!). This was on everywhere back in the day so it was nice to refresh with it.

Dare! by The Human League
May 01 2025

Risque by CHIC
Jul 03 2025

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Jul 31 2025

The most 80s sounding 70s album you’ll hear on this list

Pump by Aerosmith
Aug 04 2025

70s Aerosmith>90s Aerosmith

Solid Air by John Martyn
Aug 05 2025

Right about now the funk soul brother, check it out now the funk soul brother!

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Aug 06 2025

Elephant by The White Stripes
Aug 07 2025

Brought this when it came out and loved it then and still love it now

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Aug 08 2025

Once you realise Kevin Rowland sounds like Vic Reeves club singer you’ll never go back!

Real Life by Magazine
Aug 11 2025

3.5 for me, another album I’ll go back to after this is all over.

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 12 2025

Kinda liked this, classic Bowie at the start then into the Eno synth mode by the end.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Aug 13 2025

Good introduction to Miss Winehouse, beautiful voice, just a shame it’s a massive album as it does become a bit much for an hour.

1984 by Van Halen
Aug 14 2025

4.5. Prefer the debut but this has some absolute classics on although some of the lyrics haven’t aged so well! 😂

Aug 19 2025

Ah Dylan. The song writing is first class but the performance is like nails on a black board. I’ve never got the Dylan hype and so still don’t, maybe I’m not old enough, sure the classics are there but if the songs are more then 3 minutes it becomes like listening to white noise due to his grating nasal tones.

#1 Record by Big Star
Aug 20 2025

Like all your favourite 70s rock bands rejected songs in one disc

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Aug 21 2025

This backs made two albums and they are both in this list? FML

Aug 22 2025

Different to what I expected from Chicago as I just remember the soft rock 80s songs. Lots of horns and a crazy 7 min guitar solo track stand out for me

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Aug 25 2025

If only she had songs some Dylan songs…

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Aug 26 2025

This is like bob dylan but with somehow worse singing

Sep 10 2025

Like a budget Duran Duran

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Sep 11 2025

Interesting album, although had to listen to a compilation as album wasn’t on Apple Music which is disappointing

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Sep 12 2025

Someone must love this, but that someone is not me!

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Sep 15 2025

Standard Brit pop stuff.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Sep 16 2025

Like an album of two half’s that I’m still not sure on

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Sep 17 2025

Imagine to series indie with RHCP lyrics……

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Sep 18 2025

Decent set of songs

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Sep 19 2025

Classic early maiden, setting things up nicely for the greater stuff that was to come

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Sep 23 2025

The WKD blue of music albums

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Sep 24 2025

Standard 80s TV series soundtrack here

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Sep 25 2025

It’s 2.5 for me. Meanders along nicely, almost day dream like but ultimately forgettable

Traffic by Traffic
Sep 26 2025

Standard late 60s rock 2.5

Bossanova by Pixies
Sep 29 2025

Not their best

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Oct 02 2025

Got an extra star for the lyrics being some of the most wild if heard in a longtime

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Oct 03 2025

813 albums in and I still fear the Jazz….

Imagine by John Lennon
Oct 06 2025

Well this is a difficult, musically he is a legend, but an asshole of a person, there is some good in here but a lot of what feels like rejected Beatles songs

Oct 08 2025

Classic early punk sound from one of the legends, this is what a live album should be all about, loud, chaotic and full of energy

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Oct 09 2025

No just not for me, sounds like the local drunk in the pub on Friday night karaoke

LP1 by FKA twigs
Oct 13 2025

There’s a great voice in there somewhere it’s just ruined by bad production

Oct 16 2025

This is a pioneering hip hop album for sure, like some didn’t like others but can see why it helps revitalise east coast hip hop

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Oct 17 2025

3.5 for me. Killing moon is a classic but the rest is a bit hit and miss. Does sound like a mash up of all those 80s goth/moody bands though

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Oct 20 2025

Like Ravi Shankar previously, I can see why this is on this list. It’s an interesting listen, can clearly hear the passion in the voice and why he is so revered in this genre of music

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Oct 21 2025

It’s an album you have on in the background at a dinner party. Someone might ask you who is it by you tell who it’s by and everyone kinda strikes their shoulders and goes back talking.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 23 2025

Early 200s dad rock at its finest

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Oct 24 2025

Just fuck off Tom Waits

En-Tact by The Shamen
Oct 27 2025

Very bland 90s dance/techno I’m afraid

Oct 28 2025

Some songs are still relevant today as they were in the early nineties but the ones about women are awful and misogynistic I’m afraid

Oct 29 2025

Liked more songs then I thought, always an underrated band in the grunge scene

Rapture by Anita Baker
Oct 30 2025

A great voice stuck behind generic 80s r&b unfortunately

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Nov 03 2025

Liked this more than I initially thought

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Nov 04 2025

Really enjoyed this like if Nine Inch Nails and Rammstein had a French baby

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Nov 05 2025

Yeah it’s way out and different, liked some songs, found others a little too strange

Tical by Method Man
Nov 07 2025
Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Nov 10 2025

“How Long, not long, cos what you reap is what you sow” A true masterpiece of a debut album, one of my favourite bands ever and stills sends a message that’s as relevant then as it is today.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Nov 11 2025

I remember this album being everywhere when it came out, has some great songs on it, shame they kept making the cobain comparison.

OK by Talvin Singh
Nov 12 2025

Ok chilled electronic songs but largely forgettable

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Nov 14 2025

Glad I listened to this but I doubt I’ll listen again

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nov 17 2025

What are those albums where the memory of it being great outweighs? The actual reality of it being any good? Three or four? Really good songs the rest of it a little bit chaotic. Did some much better stuff in the early 2000s which is probably their pinical

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Nov 18 2025

Kayne’s production on this is what really elevates this above most other hip hop albums, even makes Jay-z sound good. Tails off at the end but the rest is great.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Nov 19 2025

Every single one of these sounds like a soundtrack to all those rom coms in the 80s

The Score by Fugees
Nov 20 2025

A classic hip hop album, ready or not is probably a peak 90s sample. Lauren hill’s voice takes these songs to a new level.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 24 2025

Despressed shit for depressed people

Picture Book by Simply Red
Nov 25 2025

This is the stuff your mum and aunties all danced to in the eighties

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Nov 26 2025

Nice haunting music but definitely prefer their later stuff

One World by John Martyn
Dec 03 2025

Liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Really chilled

Nevermind by Nirvana
Dec 04 2025

It’s good, but it’s not great. They were better albums by Alice In Chains and Soundgarden in this era. Still don’t get the hype around Cobain and this band they never change the face of music just media hype.

White Light by Gene Clark
Dec 05 2025

This is what Dylan songs would sound like if he could sing…

Third by Soft Machine
Dec 09 2025

Terrible prog

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Dec 11 2025

Nice little post punk album

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Dec 12 2025

Big, loud and fun, exactly what I’d expect from Mr Cooper

Abraxas by Santana
Dec 15 2025

Guitar sex

Stankonia by OutKast
Dec 22 2025

Good solid album but why do they still put interludes and skits in there, like there is no need for them at all

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Dec 23 2025

Like a cross between the smiths and inxs

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Dec 24 2025

Great debut from an underrated band

Marquee Moon by Television
Dec 25 2025

You can definitely hear the influence this had on a lot of bands

Dec 30 2025

How this is rated one of the best live albums ever is beyond me, AIC and PJ did it better in my opinion in the Unplugged series, the best song on here is a cover which says it all.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Dec 31 2025

Nice folk music but at over an hour it becomes a bit too much after a while

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Jan 01 2026

This was a difficult listen. This is clearly someone who is talented but suffering from mental illness, it feels cruel giving him an album that just seems thrown together at the last minute in the hope something sticks but never does.

Hotel California by Eagles
Jan 07 2026

This album reminds me of my dad as he would play this on vinyl all the time growing up. The first three songs are immense but after that it just becomes dad rock

Hms Fable by Shack
Jan 08 2026

Average Indie at best

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jan 09 2026

2.5 for me. There are some good songs and ideas in there. It’s just all of it just sounds chaotic and finished in a bit of a mess by the end if I’m honest they did some better songs later on to be fair

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jan 13 2026

Nice chilled house

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jan 14 2026

Standard new wave stuff really

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Jan 15 2026

Better than I though even with all the stupid skits

Arise by Sepultura
Jan 16 2026

Brutal just how I like it!

Jan 19 2026

Title track is great but the rest just all sounds the same and monotonous

Medúlla by Björk
Jan 20 2026

As you would expect from bjork, something unique and different

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jan 21 2026

Quick someone call the Jazz police

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jan 22 2026

First half, it was a one star, but the last four songs pushed it to a two

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Jan 26 2026

I remember this album went under the radar at first when I came out and I thought why? It’s so different to anything out at the time and the music is very varied, the lyrics are wild and the whole album structure is insane but I really liked and still do to this day

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jan 27 2026

Some really good, some pretty average

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 28 2026

Let me cut your cake with my knife

Jan 30 2026

3.5 It’s not as good as the debut by far as the big songs are great but the rest are significantly weaker unfortunately but this still brings back memories from my younger days in London.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Feb 03 2026

Compared to the first couple of albums this is so polished it shines like a bald head in the sun, big hits and some nice ideas but just not a patch on the raw energy of the first couple of albums.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Feb 04 2026

Borderline un-listenable in parts but I made it to the end somehow

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Feb 05 2026

A stinking classic right here

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Feb 06 2026

Jeff Beck aside this is just a standard 60s rock/pop affair

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Feb 09 2026

Nice song writing and vocals but it’s all just a bit radio 2 isn’t it

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Feb 10 2026

The first few songs are great especially Waiting for a man but the album tails off soon after and the last few tracks are just noise. I can hear how this is considered so influential for it’s time but musically it’s a bit hit and miss

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Feb 11 2026

I didn’t mind some songs but then I read he didn’t credit any of the artists so that’s a shitty thing to do isn’t it Malcolm?

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 12 2026

The lord giveth and the lord takes away….

Vivid by Living Colour
Feb 13 2026

We All Need to join the Cult of personality

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Feb 16 2026

Very much bjork vibes going on here

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Feb 17 2026

2.5 He’s a great guitarist and he does well at the heavy rock blues but the rest is just a bit bland and boring, which is a shame

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 18 2026

Not my cup of tea

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 19 2026

Like I wrote after hearing Physcocandy, they have great songs ruined by distortion, this is a million miles from that, was really surprised by how warm and uplifting this was, definitely adding this to my album list

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 23 2026

Easily my favourite Stones album

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Feb 24 2026

Nice little melting pot of ideas from every sixties band you know

B-52's by The B-52's
Feb 26 2026

I would like to thank Peter Griffin for introducing me to ‘Rock Lobster’

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Feb 27 2026

Lift music for lift people

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Mar 02 2026

The big hits are great but the rest isn’t as good unfortunately

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Mar 03 2026

Good introduction to a legendary band

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Mar 04 2026

More prince andrew than purple rain prince

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 05 2026

It’s mellow, it’s poppy, it’s chilled it’s Abba

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Mar 06 2026

Firstly it’s not on apple which forces me to hear shitty Spotify ads so what I did hear wasn’t great

Dog Man Star by Suede
Mar 09 2026

Personally my favorite suede album

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Mar 10 2026
New Wave by The Auteurs
Mar 11 2026

Bland

Damaged by Black Flag
Mar 12 2026

A good introduction to a seminal punk band

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Mar 13 2026

There’s some dad rock I can vibe with but some, like this, aren’t my cup of tea sad to say

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Mar 16 2026

My second favourite manics album, song great songs on here

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Mar 17 2026

One of my favorite indie/rock bands, very underrated and Skin is an amazing front woman with an exceptional vocal range

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Mar 19 2026

Goo guitar work and some nice songs tbh

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Mar 20 2026

The effect of COVID-19 on the human brain will be studied forever…

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Mar 24 2026

Ok now I can see where TON got their influence from.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Mar 25 2026

You fuck this right off into space

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Mar 26 2026

10 songs in and yeah, I’m not listening to all that

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Mar 27 2026

It’s too long for a decent listen through, there are good songs in her but buried in amongst to much filler.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Mar 30 2026

Pleasant without being offensive

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Mar 31 2026

Like a soundtrack to a 70s BBC documentary that’s really controversial and is banned but later re-released

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 01 2026

The last good Brit pop album with some very memorable songs

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Apr 03 2026

Apart from the one big hit. I’m not sure why this is included on thei list tbh

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Apr 06 2026

Boring lesbian country

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Apr 07 2026

Wait….these songs weren’t in Toy Story….

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Apr 10 2026

More an album for who the person is rather than the music

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Apr 13 2026

Uninspiring beach bar music

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 15 2026

One of my all time favourites. His voice is stunning and his cover of hallelujah is one of the greatest cover versions

Sincere by Mj Cole
Apr 17 2026

UK was a big thing around the early 2000s with MJ Cole being one of the big pioneers of the scene with sincere the big hit here. The thing is the songs work well in a compilation or a club mix but on an album it just sounds a bit samey and bland which is a shame

Tapestry by Carole King
Apr 20 2026

Lovely collection of songs

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 21 2026

Really wasn’t expecting much from this but I ended up liking this a lot

Wild Gift by X
Apr 24 2026

Not a bad post punk album, made me dive into their back catalogue as they are a new one to me.

Aja by Steely Dan
Apr 28 2026

Boomer dinner party music

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Apr 29 2026

Not unlistenable but definitely not re-listenable

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
May 04 2026

Nice collection of rejected beach boys songs

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
May 06 2026

I mean it’s dolly and it’s country, they go together like cheese and onion

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
May 07 2026

This is the album you watch rain run down your window to

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
May 08 2026

Excellent first half, does drag on in the second which is a shame but enjoyable

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
May 11 2026

Very boring dad rock.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
May 12 2026

Every now and then this pops up an undiscovered gem like this, well worth a listen!

Achtung Baby by U2
May 13 2026

One of the the more enjoyable U2 albums imo

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
May 14 2026

Ah I don’t fear this type of jazz, very late 70s/late eighties movie soundtrack stuff

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
May 15 2026

Decent live album

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
May 18 2026

An album that is on this list because of one decent song, I’m sure there are better albums out there that deserve being on this list.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
May 19 2026

You can hear the influences of this album on future acts

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 22 2026

Like a ripe banana, soft, smooth and funky

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 25 2026

Uses the classic indie formula of quiet start, builds to a crescendo then either goes quiet again or throws in a tempo change. That said lies and wake up are good songs

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
May 26 2026

Definitely better than the earlier stuff, can definitely hear influences of later artists with some of these tracks but it still sounds like robot sex to me

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 29 2026
Suede by Suede
Jun 01 2026
Protection by Massive Attack
Jun 02 2026

It’s ok, not as good as mezzanine but a solid chilled beats album

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jun 03 2026

I just found this really boring sorry

Melodrama by Lorde
Jun 04 2026

Nice songwriting and pleasant music

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jun 05 2026

The worse of 90s hip hop

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 09 2026

A absolute classic, an album everyone should own, with a message that still resonates today

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jun 10 2026

It’s French it’s music

Fragile by Yes
Jun 15 2026

Very underwhelming prog album

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jun 16 2026

Yeah very summer vibes definitely glad I gave it a listen

Doolittle by Pixies
Jun 17 2026

A great album I hadn’t listened to in a while and glad I reconnected with

Quiet Life by Japan
Jun 18 2026

Very early New Romantic stuff here, Duran Duran definitely took a leaf here

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jun 19 2026

A classic hip hop debut alongside Dre’s The Chronic introducing the world to west coast rap

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Jun 22 2026

Really rated this, might have to delve deeper into their back catalogue

High Violet by The National
Jun 24 2026

Indie funeral music

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Jun 26 2026

Nice little punk album with some nice twists and turns

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 29 2026

Everybody loves a bit of Willie don’t they….

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jun 30 2026
Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Jul 07 2026

Can’t rate this as it’s not on either Spotify or Apple Music

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jul 13 2026

The first track is an all time but the rest is just standard run of the mill 70’s soundtrack. Also John Shaft feels like a proper 70s porn name 🤣

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Jul 14 2026

Couldn’t get this album on apple so had to endure Spotify and its ads but a quirky side project of talking heads, some nice tracks, some down right weird but that’s David Byrne for you!

Closer by Joy Division
Jul 15 2026

Musically this is great, vocally not so much. Thank god for Peter hook and new order.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jul 17 2026

Couldn’t get this on apple or Spotify so had to listen to the greatest hits. Very eclectic mix of music some bad some ok.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jul 21 2026

Oh look another 60’s pop rock album that no one remembers 👍🏻👍🏻

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Jul 23 2026

Really enjoyed this album on my summer drive to work

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jul 27 2026

Not sure this old enough to be considered a classic plus I can’t even remember this album coming out so why it’s on this list is a mystery. Really basic R&B if you’d like that sort of thing, but it’s not my cup of tea.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jul 28 2026

Good first song, then it tails off badly and is quite boring unfortunately

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Jul 29 2026

Quiet Loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud quiet loud

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Jul 30 2026

The album that put grime in the music map,

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jul 31 2026

Meh

The Specials by The Specials
Aug 04 2026

It’s Ska Jim but not as we know it

Ctrl by SZA
Aug 05 2026

Made it to three tracks before I couldn’t take auto tune and crap lyrics no more

1977 by Ash
Aug 07 2026

Great sixth form memories with this

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Aug 10 2026

Not bad introduction to me Zappa

Berlin by Lou Reed
Aug 11 2026

Not as bad as I thought although the theme is grim it’s a story worth telling

OK Computer by Radiohead
Aug 12 2026

Some big songs on here but I just find it a bit boring otherwise sorry

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Aug 17 2026

Very much giving to drama series vibes 2.5
