White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Oct 21 2022

Mostly distorted guitar and drums but some clean tones in there too. I think I had heard most of these songs before with knowing they were all from this one album. I really enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t say it’s one of the best ever

Arrival by ABBA
Oct 22 2022

The all time hits are as good as always, but I’m surprised by how good the less famous songs are too

Oct 22 2022

A mix of hip hop, funk, and soul. The album touches on oppression by the system and how the fight for equality won’t end with just one generation. Relevant themes when it was released and now as well

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Oct 23 2022

Aretha Franklin is a legend for a reason. This album was amazing with excellent music accompanying her vocals

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Oct 24 2022

I didn’t like this album as much as I thought I would. The high point are really high, but the rest was technically impressive but didn’t wow me

Transformer by Lou Reed
Oct 25 2022

I’ve heard the big hit but also “Perfect Day”. I really like this album because it sounds like early New Wave but there’s less electronic synths that true new wave

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Oct 26 2022

I didn’t think I was going to like this album, but I was blown away. Leonard Cohen has an amazingly powerful voice and the backing music complements him perfectly

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Oct 27 2022

This album grew on me as I listened to it, but I’m unlikely to listen to it again. My favorite song “Fistful of Love” was different from the rest and most of the time I was distracted by the singer’s vibrato. Still a very technically impressive performance

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Oct 29 2022

I saw the movie before listening to the album and am pretty sure the songs aren’t all the same. That said the singles from this album are amazing and the other songs are solid if not as memorable

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Oct 30 2022

I listened to roughly half this album drunk on moonshine, but I’m making a concerted effort to be more critical. This was a good album and I would listen to it again, but most of it didn’t stand out. Further, I don’t like Eric Clapton because he’s awful even though he’s a great guitarist.

Is This It by The Strokes
Oct 31 2022

I really liked this album. It hit the perfect mix of grunge and almost every song had an excellent bass line. While I wouldn’t expect everyone to like it, I can see myself listening to it again and again

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Nov 01 2022

Despite my Elvis phase as a kid, this wasn’t my favorite album. I’d be happy if it was playing in the background because it was good, but it isn’t something I’m going to listen to on repeat

Nov 02 2022

This might be one of the best live albums I’ve ever listened to. I enjoyed it thoroughly and plan on listening to more Sam Cooke in the future

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Nov 03 2022

I enjoyed most of this album and would be happy to put it on in the background. By the end, it did feel like it was dragging on a bit too long

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Nov 04 2022

A solid hip hop album but it didn’t really stand out to me. It’s possible that’s because it was a very influential album so people copied their style though. I would listen to it again

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Nov 05 2022

I liked this album and was hedging between 3 and 4; it was sort of early new wave and had a lot I liked about it. What clinched it as a 3 is that The Jam have other songs I like a lot more that aren’t from this album

Microshift by Hookworms
Nov 06 2022

This was an interesting album. It was a lot of electronic music with many elements that I normally like. The beginning didn’t grab me, and neither did the rest, but I enjoyed it the whole time

Nov 07 2022

From the minute I put this album on, I was having a good time. It was early 90s hip hop with a strong funky beat and some heavy jazz influences

In Utero by Nirvana
Nov 08 2022

I’m surprised that I hadn’t listened to this before considering how much I like Nevermind. This is a great album, but I don’t think I like it as much as that one though. That said, I can see myself listening to this again and again

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Nov 09 2022

An amazing album. Every song had a groovy bass line, catchy vocals, and was a blast to listen too

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Nov 10 2022

I enjoyed this album, but it didn’t stand out to me. When Spotify accidentally switched to radio based on it, I didn’t notice and started liking it more

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Nov 11 2022

A solid album of really fun music. I can’t see myself listening to it again though except as background music at a party. It was good though

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Nov 12 2022

I liked this album in the same way that I like the Moody Blues. It’s not music to get you pumped, but it’s a consistent album throughout with some really amazing moments

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Nov 13 2022

A very weird album to listen to. It definitely sounded like all his movie soundtracks- which is a positive - but the subject matter was a weird choice at times. I’m not sure I’d go back and listen to it, but it was well made

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Nov 14 2022

I just didn’t enjoy this album. It wasn’t bad, and I thought I was going to like it based on its description, but it may have been too experimental in places

Let It Be by The Replacements
Nov 15 2022

This was a pretty good album that I enjoyed. Punk without much (if any pop), I can see myself listening to this one again

Skylarking by XTC
Nov 16 2022

I have a feeling that the more I listen to this album, the more I’ll like it. On my first listen, it had enough high points that I don’t remember the lows, but it was by no means perfect

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Nov 17 2022

A very good album, especially for a live album. I’d definitely give it another listen - excellent guitar and backing music and creative use of a talk box

Fun House by The Stooges
Nov 18 2022

I’ll probably listen to this one again. It sounded like early punk and was raw without being overly discordant. Plus the radio suggested for the album is pretty good too

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Nov 19 2022

I didn’t think I was going to like this album when I started it, but after it picked up a minute in I started to enjoy it. It reminds of Simon and Garfunkel type music and I’d probably enjoy this again when I’m in that sort of mood

Nov 20 2022

I was excited to listen to this because it was the first I’ve gotten that I’ve heard before. I was surprised by how underwhelmed I was however. It was good, but nothing I’d rush to listen to again

Queen II by Queen
Nov 21 2022

I enjoyed every second of this album. Most of these songs aren’t their big hits so I was surprised by that

Marquee Moon by Television
Nov 22 2022

Another really good album. Early punk music with cleaner sounds than usual. I enjoyed every song and look forward to listening to them again

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Nov 23 2022

I’m giving this a three, but it’s a low three. An electronic-euro music album, I know I would like this if I were in the right mood, but that would probably be if I wanted background music

C'est Chic by CHIC
Nov 24 2022

Absolutely excellent disco album. Le Freak is an all time classic and I’m ashamed I didn’t know they were the band to sing it until now

Garbage by Garbage
Nov 25 2022

An okay album. It had some good songs, but none that grabbed me. I wouldn’t rush to change what I was listening to though

Liquid Swords by GZA
Nov 26 2022

A solid hip hop album from a founder of the Wu-Tang Clan. I enjoyed it but it didn’t stand out. I might listen to it again

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Nov 27 2022

A very interesting album. I’m not sure if I enjoyed this is the way I did all the others, but it was intriguing and I might listen again when in an experimental mood

Elephant by The White Stripes
Nov 28 2022

This was a great album from start to finish. I enjoyed it more than Whote Blood Cells, which is why I’m giving it a 5 since that was a 4

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Nov 29 2022

It was a fine album overall, but I wasn’t left with a strong impression. I felt to how I felt about the Kraftwerk album

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Nov 30 2022

I went in expecting I’d like this one, but it left zero impression on me. It wasn’t bad but I don’t remember it at all and I listened twice

Dec 01 2022

My favorite hip hop album I’ve gotten from this list so far. I’m going to have to go back and listen to the extended version

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 02 2022

It’s classic rock at its finest

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 03 2022

Absolutely solid. I prefer Are You Experienced slightly more, but an amazing album nonetheless

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jan 30 2023

This was a really enjoyable pop album. I ended up listening to it twice and it has plenty of hits. I’m probably going to throw it on every now and then

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jan 31 2023

A pretty good album. I enjoyed listening to it and it has some great songs, but it’s not a favorite of mine

Feb 01 2023

A pretty good country sounding album that didn’t get too much into stereotypical country topics. There was one song about being christian but other than that it was a good sounding album

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Feb 03 2023

Very similar mood to the previous album. A bit somber, but I liked the music a lot more and the tracks had more variety between them

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Feb 04 2023

I’ve listened to this album many times before and it’s an absolute thrill. The only thing keeping it from being perfect is that some of the songs that aren’t 10/10s are a bit forgettable

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Feb 06 2023

What can I say other than this album is everything I want from emo-type rock. It’s not perfect, but it’s one of the best
