Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Sep 26 2022

A very entertaining album to listen to filled with classic hits

Street Life by The Crusaders
Sep 27 2022

Very smooth and great to listen to while studying. I think in other settings it would also be equally as good. Nice Jazz, would've potentially enjoyed more singing though

Sep 28 2022

Freedom is a really good song but besides that the album isn't great. Lots of slow and uninteresting songs, and not much diversity.

Sep 29 2022

Although I can appreciate the political and social messages given in the album, it still isn't good. All of the songs sound the same, and the background music is not very interesting. Still too much harmonica

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Sep 30 2022

Not as many highs as I'd expect, but the lows aren't very low. Paint It, Black and I Am Waiting are standouts that raise my opinion on the album. Also, Going Home is a good song to end an album. Overall pretty average.

The Man Who by Travis
Oct 03 2022

Nice mellow album. Why does it always rain on me is a highlight but nothing else stands out too much

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 04 2022

Happy When it Rains and Down on Me are both very good feel good songs. A very pleasant listening experience. The mellow rock is both calming and uplifting

Oct 05 2022

Entertaining album that is high pace and enjoyable throughout. I believe that it is a bit too long and dragged out. I also thought the more rap heavy songs were not as good as the singing ones

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Oct 06 2022

Highlights: Freddies Dead, change, ma and pa. The album is a little all over the place but the instrumentals are always exciting and its a fun and interesting album that is enjoyable to listen to

Oct 07 2022

Not very good. Might have influenced a music genre but it was pretty hard to listen to. I would not willingly listen to a single song on this album again.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Oct 10 2022

I might have gone in with too high expectations, but it wasn't as good as I expected. I think there are a good amount of really good songs on this album, but they're diluted with overly poppy songs that don't fit super well. Favorite songs on the album were: Welcome to New York, I Wish You Would, and I Know Places

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Oct 11 2022

Although I would not listen to it very album, this is a great album. It reminds me of being at a Phish concert, where the band is just jamming and playing their instruments super well the whole time. Good background music

Nevermind by Nirvana
Oct 12 2022

Amazing album. Every song is a hit and enjoyable to listen to. Not only that, they all go together and make for an amazing listening experience. My only complaint is that the last song, Endless, Nameless, is quite bad. It is the only song that doesn't fit with the other songs on the album.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 13 2022

Pretty solid funk music. Good background/study music

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Oct 14 2022

Nice ambient background music with soothing vocals. Very calming and nice to listen to. Not overly interesting though. The songs "The Noise of Carpet" and "Slow Fast Hazel" really stand out

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 17 2022

Great listen. Nice upbeat music that makes you happy

Elastica by Elastica
Oct 18 2022

Great listen. A nice cohesive album that anyone could listen to and enjoy

Wild Gift by X
Oct 20 2022

Pretty average rock music. Doesn't seem like anything super special or anything that should be in this book/list

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Oct 21 2022

Sounds like a typical 80s album but was not very enjoyable. None of the songs were truly bad they were all just mediocre

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 24 2022

Its a fine and peaceful album. Would potentially listen to it again, but no songs really stood out

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Oct 25 2022

Not very good. Would never really listen to it. The singing is too dramatic and I think the instruments are dull and unexciting

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Oct 26 2022

Thought it was a little strange and not super interesting. The songs were outdated and not super enjoyable. Too dramatic

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Oct 27 2022

A very raw album about a girl and her insecurities. There is no specific song that stands out but the album as a whole is very good and meaningful.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Oct 28 2022

Beautiful background music but the singing is terrible. The vocals attempt to be overdramatic and powerful, where a subtle, soft voice would've been much more fitting

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Oct 31 2022

An entertaining rock album with great instrumentals. The instruments really made this album, with the songs Child in Time and Flight of the Rat being my favorite

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Nov 01 2022

Thought it was solid, had some nice instrumentals. Vocals weren't amazing but overall fairly mediocre

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Nov 02 2022

This is a very good album. There are some major highlights : Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things, and Life on Mars? are very very good. The first half of the album is significantly better though, and there is a couple duds on the album

Forever Changes by Love
Nov 03 2022

Thought it was a solid album. I particularly enjoyed Live and Let Live and You Set the Scene. The instrumentals are what shine in this album

Risque by CHIC
Nov 04 2022

A feel good album full of enjoyable songs

21 by Adele
Nov 07 2022

An album full of great songs. Very powerful and is carried by Adele's vocals. I especially liked the songs I hadn't heard before, such as I'll be Waiting and One and Only.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Nov 08 2022

Pretty good feel good album. Liked every song except Runaway Child, Running Wild. Although I may never listen to the album again, it was an enjoyable listen

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Nov 09 2022

Has some pretty solid feel good songs on it but overall is mainly overdramatic and theatrical

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Nov 10 2022

Fairly nice and relaxing music but it really isn't anything special and the vocals don't really add anything.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Nov 11 2022

Not a fan of old acoustic. I find it boring with dull instrumentals.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Nov 14 2022

Although I will probably never listen to it again, this album was enjoyable and relaxing

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Nov 15 2022

Very enjoyable listen. Nice low key and happy music. Especially enjoyed Lovefool. Will definitely listen to this album again.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 16 2022

Really nice and enjoyable album. Would definitely listen again. Was very thrown off when he said the n word though

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Nov 18 2022

A enjoyable listen punk album that feels ahead of its time

Nov 21 2022

I really enjoy this album. It is action packed and exciting but also soothing. I enjoy the vocals and the instruments. My only complaint is that there isn't too much variety between the song. favorite songs: The View from the Afternoon, Mardy Bum, When the Sun Goes Down, From the Ritz to the Rubble.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 23 2022

So many great songs on this album. Alright, King Kunta, Wesley's Theory, The Blacker the Berry to name a few. Kendrick mixes rap and jazz to create a groundbreaking album. It is a critique of society, race relations, and much more

Truth by Jeff Beck
Nov 24 2022

Solid blues type album. Let me love you is a highlight

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Nov 25 2022

Sai Dessa and Aprednendo A Jogar are groovy hits. I also enjoy Tiro Ao Alvaro. Extremely soothing and relaxing album that can get funky at times

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Nov 28 2022

Pretty good album. It was calm and soothing, sounded like what would be played at a classy 1950s party. I enjoyed it but wouldn't listen to it much. Favorite song: Whirly-Bird

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Nov 29 2022

Gonna be honest I didn't listen to much of it but I'm just not a fan of this type of music. The dramatic 80s gothic rock is not for me

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 30 2022

Was somewhat enjoyable to listen to but wasn't nearly as good as the last Elvis Costello album I listened to

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 01 2022

Solid older rock album. It was enjoyable, with nice instruments and not too dramatic. I especially enjoyed the songs "Just What I Needed" and "My Best Friend's Girl"

90 by 808 State
Dec 02 2022

Pretty solid electric music. I may never listen to it again but I enjoyed it. Gives the feel of a 90s club. I imagine that this was a quite influential album for the electric scene Favorite songs: Magical Dream, Pacific 202

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Dec 05 2022

Its ok to listen to but not super enjoyable. Not really any hits and its mainly pretty dull

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 06 2022

Was not really a fan. I thought the obsession with murder was weird. I did listen to it while studying so maybe I would've enjoyed it more if I was able to listen to the stories more

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Dec 07 2022

Nice, soothing music that you'd expect from Marvin Gaye. Highlights of the album are Lets Get It On and Keep Gettin it On

Elephant by The White Stripes
Dec 08 2022

Thought it was pretty good. I enjoy their style of rock. The heavy bass hits nice. Really disliked the song its true we love one another. Really liked Seven Nation Army, Black Math, and Hypnotize

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Dec 09 2022

This album surprised quite a bit. I expected a bad/boring experience but it was the opposite. The music is upbeat and great. The vocals typically didn't detract from the song and sometimes added. In the worst songs, they were repetitive and the vocals were annoying. The best songs had groovy beatlines and were awesome. Favorites: Kingsize, Fantastic Day, Baked Beans Dislikes: Snow Girl, Ski Club

Kid A by Radiohead
Dec 12 2022

Enjoyed the music. It was experimental without being too far out there. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I especially enjoyed How to Disappear Completely and Optimistic. I really disliked the song idioteque

Dec 13 2022

Its an okay album, there are a lot of subpar to bad songs. Despite this there are some hits. Sweet Dreams is great, and wrap it up and somebody told me are also solid. The song Jennifer was quite bad

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Dec 14 2022

It was a very nice album. Great singing with nice music as well. I'm not sure I'll ever listen to it again, but it was good. No songs stuck out as really good, but none as bad either

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Dec 15 2022

Felt everything was boring and uninteresting. The vocals were fairly soulless pop and the instrumentals were also nothing special

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Dec 16 2022

It is a nice album to listen to but I'll never listen to it again. Each song is kind of a worse version of you've got a friend in me. No standouts on this album (bad or good)

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Dec 19 2022

Didn't expect to like it but I did. Waiting for the Big One was good with great guitar

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Dec 20 2022

Liked it a lot. Very epic guitar playing

Phrenology by The Roots
Dec 21 2022

Very good album. Each beat is amazing and each feature delivers. The lyricism and word play is a strong highlight of the album. Every song is good
