Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Sep 23 2022

What has not been said about this one? A masterpiece to have in any collection.

Sep 27 2022

This is just a perfect album. The last couple of songs always give me goosebumps.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Sep 28 2022

I prefered Slider over that one. Interesting listen but did not quite stick with me.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Sep 29 2022

Mellow mellow country. Nothing I like in there.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Sep 30 2022

The singles played over so much that I don't like em anymore, I even skipped Paranoid. But that listen made me discover some other songs on that album that flew under the radar and are well worth a listen.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Oct 06 2022

Timeless classic.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Oct 07 2022

Not my style at all to say the least. 80s punk vocals mixed with cheesy radio lyrics. No Thanks.

The Slider by T. Rex
Oct 10 2022

Psych Folk rock, Beatles vibe, some experimental stuff with horns and strings. Great stuff especially considering the era it was made in. Definitely will get back to this I was a nice discovery.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Oct 11 2022

Nice discovery for me, title track was quite a trip and the rest of the album was some nice funk.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Oct 12 2022

You can feel this is the birth of punk. Dirty rock&roll rockabilly kinda stuff. Iggy Pop doing what Iggy does. The bad sound quality kinda ruins the whole thing for me though, I get it, this was the 70s and all, but yeah.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Oct 13 2022

80s pop music at it's worst

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Oct 14 2022
Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Oct 17 2022

art-blues? zappa like sounds on some songs but very bluesy

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Oct 18 2022

Funk indeed Pretty fun listen, I would buy this record if I stumbled on it

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Oct 19 2022

Soundtrack feeling, some nice songs amongst it, didnt dislike it but still not a discovery.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Oct 20 2022

Some interesting Sex Pistols vibes in there, Johnny Rotten being equal to himself in terms of his singing. The album feels a bit all over the place though and lacks a direction. Im probably not going back to that one.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Oct 21 2022

Blending reggae with grunge-like guitars then going all easy-listening pop all of a sudden in the first 3 songs.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Oct 24 2022

As with most PF albums, the hit single is my least favorite song of the album. Nevertheless this is an album that represents everything Pink Floyd did right, the atmosphere, the solos, the songwrinting in general. This one definitely earned its place in the top of all times.

Oct 25 2022

Mama mia, mama mia let me go! Another timeless classic, especially on Bohemian Rapshody (it doesnt have 2 billion plays on spotify for nothing) Though must of the songs on that album were new to me, Im pretty sure I heard "In love with my car" before. It's a nice album but some songs had me faze out a bit. Sometimes it seems like they focused more on studio gimmicks than the actual songs.

OK by Talvin Singh
Oct 26 2022

Ambiant electronica with an experimental feel. I liked it.

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Oct 27 2022

Way out of my comfort zone but interesting none the less. Very militant, revendicative. 100 times better than whatever I heard in that style recently.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Oct 28 2022

Generic indie rock, reminds me of some bands I like, but I did not like this one.

Oct 31 2022

80s drums with nice bass lines, but still 80s pop that did not age well... not something im going back to

The Undertones by The Undertones
Nov 01 2022

Funny 80s pop punk record, nothing ground breaking in there but still an easy listen.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Nov 02 2022

Not my kind of beat, electro-rock something? Decently produced but still not something I enjoy.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Nov 07 2022

Not my style, sound is good and you can tell the production is polished but... ooooof

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Nov 08 2022

A jazz rock masterpiece and easily in my top 5 by Frank the great.

Illmatic by Nas
Nov 09 2022

It does not annoy me, which is a lot to say about an hiphop album. Not my cup of tea but I can understand it's an important piece in the history of hip-hop.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Nov 11 2022

Blondie was a punk! Aside from the overplayed hit singles this is a pretty fun album.

Kid A by Radiohead
Nov 15 2022

Great sounding but weird at times. Its no OK Computer but it is still something I can enjoy in small doses.

25 by Adele
Nov 22 2022
The White Album by Beatles
Nov 23 2022

A masterpiece in their discography IMO

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Nov 24 2022

Nice voice and talented guitarist, yet a boring album to me with no real highlights.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Nov 25 2022

Psychedelic Synth

Eagles by Eagles
Nov 28 2022

Some nice folk rock, reminded me of Fleetwood Mac often.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Dec 02 2022

Interesting listen, got tired of it towards the end, but otherwise interesting sounding electronic music.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Dec 05 2022

Some mellow folk rock, lots of Dylan songs in there. Not my goto but not bad either.

Smash by The Offspring
Dec 06 2022

Hard to beat this one in the Offspring discography. Almost all bangers, reminds me of my youth.

Dec 07 2022

Aside from Free Form Guitar that was a little irritating, this is a solid album. Set the basis for the band and what it would become. Their second album is stronger than this one but this is still some fantastic music IMO.

The Specials by The Specials
Dec 08 2022

The perfect 2-tone album. This started the 2nd wave and lots of good things would've never existed if it wasnt for The Specials.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Dec 09 2022

Great sound for a live album, I really enjoyed the jam feel to this blues record. I would buy a copy if I stumble upon it.

Dec 14 2022

A fun grunge punk album, I can see where the Distillers took their sound though.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Dec 16 2022

Good sounding record, but did not like it

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Dec 21 2022

Granddad rock

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 03 2023

Some classic tunes in there, a bunch of them I heard before but didnt know who sang them. Overall a nice rock-pop mellow album, very late 60s vibe.

Ctrl by SZA
Jan 06 2023

I can't get into it, gave up midway.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jan 09 2023

Great album. listened to it twice and it is now on my wantlist. This sounds like a lot of things, jazz, funk, latin music, reggae, etc. I don't know the first thing on afrobeat but if this is it I want more.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jan 10 2023

Great album by the Pixies, a lot of classics in there. Removed a star because the last couple songs (after Where is my mind) are a bit weak in comparison.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jan 11 2023

Feels like generic radio rock to me. Nothing I enjoy in there, I did not finish the album.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jan 12 2023

A true classic of the HC-Punk wave. A fun listen too. A bit short though, and the sound is pretty bad, but thats to be expected.

New Forms by Roni Size
Jan 13 2023

Interesting sounds, though it is not my style at all I did enjoy what I heard for the most part. Nice discovery.

Blur by Blur
Jan 16 2023

Song 2 was great, but the rest of the album is quite meh

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jan 17 2023

While I understand the significance, I cannot get much into this. The sound is quite odd, the obvious 'it's live' things get old at some point. Id prefer 'cleaner' Cash albums personally.

Jan 26 2023

"Hate To Say I Told You So" is an instant nostalgia hit for me. "Main offender" also rings a bell Overall a quite fun album.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jan 30 2023

The one and only, an album one cannot ommit. Paranoid Android remains one of my favorite songs of all times. This album sounds so great, most the songs are spotless. I removed a star because it gets a tad bit long towards the end of the record.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 31 2023

Not the best sounding of their albums but still a masterpiece of the prog era.

Feb 01 2023

While this is a bit different from where they were headed, you can still see the shape of things to come. An essential album for anyone interested in PF.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Feb 02 2023

Quite a fun listen, I know nothing when it comes to that style so I'll keep my analysis to myself. Nonetheless I had a good time listening to that album.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Feb 06 2023

Aside from the biggest songs this is fairly bland rock IMO

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Feb 14 2023

I knew them already, a great sound but a bit repetitive

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 17 2023
Infected by The The
Nov 07 2024

80s synth rock, not my bag

Nov 08 2024

Some of his best work and a nice record even though its not something I listen to on the daily. Interesting listen especially the less known songs.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Nov 13 2024

Melancolic but quite nice at places. Will probably return to this one at some point

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Nov 14 2024

Very low-fi (and actually old I get it) rock&roll. Enjoyable. Kinda aggressive for its time

Real Life by Magazine
Nov 15 2024

The punkier songs were good but I dont enjoy the post punk bits as much

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Nov 18 2024

I had heard Tightrope on the radio or whatever. Quite pop-ish to me but there was some good moments in the album.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Nov 20 2024

quite punk, reminds me of the Coathangers

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Nov 22 2024

Whos never heard "Take me out" nowadays? The other songs were alright, reminded me of my alt rock era but a bit more dancey.

Tommy by The Who
Nov 25 2024

Enjoyed that a lot, way more proggier than I tought they were. Ill try and find a copy one of these days.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Dec 12 2024

interesting in a scholar way, headache inducing after a while

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 23 2024

Female fronted brit indie rock, pretty standard but pretty enjoyable still.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 24 2024
Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jan 15 2025

Great stuff, Clapton and friends

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 16 2025

A true funk masterpiece!

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jan 17 2025

Its like Blood Incantation without the good parts. (Calm down it's a joke)

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 20 2025

Kinda Beatles like. I did not dislike but I doubt Ill get back to this.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 21 2025
Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 04 2025

ES with a more sophisticated sound than earlier records, it's good melancholic music, though I still prefer his earlier work.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Feb 06 2025

Slow stuff, female vocals, I did not think I would enjoy this since this is so out of my usual listens. But lots of it was enjoyable.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Feb 13 2025

Interresting to hear both the other songs and the entirety of the title song. It was however kinda bland and I dont think I will get back to this very much.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Feb 14 2025

Enjoyable listen, sometimes almost punk

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Feb 17 2025

Pretty sure ive listened to that one a few times before. The awful sound distracts me quite a bit. But A boy named Sue alone is worth it.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Feb 20 2025

Interesting stuff, not my usual type of music but i enjoyed the listen a lot.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Mar 03 2025

The big hit single 'Without You' is indeed the worst song of the album, as is often the case with those. Nice listen otherwise, I was unaware of this artist.
