Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 19 2022

Just about every track is excellent. 1970, feels like a super authentic, expressive period for CCR. Heavier and most transparently blues influences, at least one blues cover on this one.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Oct 20 2022

Sounds like 2009 in the best possible way, very enjoyable. Good period synths sounds.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Oct 21 2022

Not my favorite Neil Young, a couple nice tunes but overall more middle of the road hard rocking Neil Young, and less poignant folky Neil Young.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Oct 22 2022

What I personally want metal from this era to sound like

The Undertones by The Undertones
Oct 23 2022

Good for what it is, super early punk. It probably broke a lot of ground and influenced many many other groups. But it's not really my style

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Oct 24 2022

Nice grunge/hard rock for this era, just not really my style

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Oct 26 2022

Fucking hell, this guys voice and pitch are terrible. Had to stop midway through. Can't finish this one. Some okayish indie vibes on the first 3 tracks but can't listen to this.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Oct 27 2022

Classic, one of the best

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Oct 28 2022

Really nice album but mostly average except for a few tracks that really encapsulate and communicate some really complex emotions. Worth just listening to the singles but not necessarily the whole album.

Sea Change by Beck
Oct 29 2022

Super well produced with many interesting timbres and textures, good songwriting. A bit slicker than other Beck I've listened to, but in a good way.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Oct 30 2022

Nice album that feels very rooted in the time, so folk, some jazz, some indian influence. It gets a down vote due to some sloppy guitar work.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Oct 31 2022

One of the two albums that convinced me Frank Sinatra was worth listening to. Nelson Riddle deserves equal praise for making this album what it is.

Repeater by Fugazi
Nov 02 2022

Not my era and not my style so lower points in general. However, in my opinion there weren't many stand out tracks in general here.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Nov 03 2022

Sounds like Bowie in best way, I didn't enjoy it as much as classic Bowie, but still great

Kenza by Khaled
Nov 04 2022

Poppy Indian music, very good but maybe a little too poppy/dancy for my tastes.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Nov 05 2022

Very good early Sabbath, 3.5 stars

Infected by The The
Nov 06 2022

Just not a fan of this era, super 80s in all the ways I don't really like

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Nov 09 2022

Does and does not sound like 1968. Has a lot of the styling of the time, but with many experimental sounds/ideas/concepts that I have not heard from music of this period

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 10 2022

Neil Young at his best

My Generation by The Who
Nov 11 2022

Good early Who and nice to hear their blues origins in a very transparent way.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Nov 12 2022

Classic Fela Kuti.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Nov 13 2022

Great live energy, gives a glimpse into what it must have felt like to see those shows live.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Nov 14 2022

Decent pop of the era, but I find Ahoni's voice a bit annoying, too much narrow fast vibrato in general. Some nice moments that feel genuine and vulnerable, but mostly middle of the road.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Nov 15 2022

I didn't find this to be a transcendent live experience, good, but not sure yet why it's on the list. Still The Who though, very good, 3.5 stars.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Nov 16 2022

The hit is timeless but the rest of the album is good but not amazing.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Nov 17 2022

Not necessarily my cup of tea, but super interesting and ahead of its time.

Kenya by Machito
Nov 18 2022

Excellent afro-cuban jazz

Station To Station by David Bowie
Nov 19 2022

Good, not my favorite Bowie, but enough classics on it to be up there, 3.7 stars

Illmatic by Nas
Nov 22 2022

Needs another listen, excellent hip hop of the era

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 26 2022

This album is phenomenal and I'm still confused at how Jimi was able to make the music he did at such a young age.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Nov 29 2022

One of my very BB King albums and favorite blues albums of all time.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Dec 01 2022

Dated in some ways but very good dance/electronic of the era

Dec 03 2022

Some solid songwriting here, this album deserves it's iconic status, in 2022 these songs barely sound dated.

Pink Flag by Wire
Dec 06 2022

Great punk album and super ahead of its time, just one of my least favorite genres

Signing Off by UB40
Dec 08 2022

I'm sure it's great for an smooth 80's reggae fan, but not for me

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Dec 10 2022

Very good for the genre, just not my favorite genre. Some nice moments though

Closer by Joy Division
Dec 11 2022

meh, not a fan of the 80s as much, and dude can't really sing in tune

Faust IV by Faust
Dec 12 2022

Clearly way ahead of it's time and was probably an inspiration for other artists I've listened to. That being said, sounded sloppy, unfocused and a bit "jammy", there's stuff here I don't think should have made the cut.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Dec 13 2022

Such a good album of this style of blues

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Dec 14 2022

Definitely not my style or era, sloppy, messy, poorly recorded and kind of boring. Could not finish this one.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Dec 15 2022

Not my preferred style, but great album and ahead of it's time

Dookie by Green Day
Dec 16 2022

Classic for this era and part of my childhood

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Dec 21 2022

Super unique and interesting for it's time, some great songwriting, excellent production. Was really surprised by this album so it gets a slightly higher rating

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Dec 22 2022

Good solid rock album, just not my style.

Pornography by The Cure
Dec 23 2022

I understand if was of an era, but not my style at all

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 28 2022

Excellent songwriting, production, guitar solos, and many good tracks on this album.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Dec 30 2022

Pretty good for what it is and definitely takes me back to a specific time in 90's history, but just not my style.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Jan 06 2023

Definitely ahead of it's time and influential, but also sloppy blues garage rock, not really my style.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jan 07 2023

Actually pretty damn good, remove one star for lack of imagination in naming.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jan 09 2023
Jan 10 2023

Not necessarily my style, I've never found REM to be particularly compelling, but a beautiful and super strong album. Helps me see the hype a bit more

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jan 12 2023

Not a huge beach boys fan, although I definitely found it interesting, some of the songs surprised me in that there were of a very different nature compared to what I expected Beach Boys to sound like

Calenture by The Triffids
Jan 13 2023

Not my era and just not very good

Suede by Suede
Jan 14 2023

Not really my style but very good for what it is

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Jan 15 2023

I can understand the appeal, but I can never get over the sloppiness and lack of care I often hear in this kind of music.

White Ladder by David Gray
Jan 17 2023

Definitely adult contemporary, but very good. Nice songwriting and delivery

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jan 18 2023
Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jan 23 2023

The album is good, but not a huge fan of Nico. Not just because of her personal views, just not a great singer

Diamond Life by Sade
Jan 25 2023

The hit is good in it's own way, but in general this album is weak and some very bad sax going on here

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 31 2023
Dog Man Star by Suede
Feb 05 2023

Well done and super interesting for its time period, just not a big fan overall

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Feb 12 2023

Super cool worldly experimental folk from the late 60's

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Feb 18 2023

Good for what it is, but not my style, too sloppy

Boston by Boston
Mar 19 2023
Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Mar 22 2023

Good for what it is, not my style
