The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Oct 28 2022

A really fascinating album, that never drags. I loved some tracks on this and strongly disliked others. ‘Heroin’ is revolutionary but I’m not a big fan of the screeching viola towards the end of the track. Overall, a really interesting experience of an album. I’m sure my rating of this will change over time.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 29 2022

Really well done, with some great tunes. I personally couldn’t get as into it as I’d have liked but I bet this will really benefit from a relisten or two.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Oct 29 2022

I really dig the first two tracks here (Zero and Heads Will Roll), but the unfortunately after that the album deteriorates a bit in quality, and never reaches the heights of those two again.

Nov 03 2022

2, is interesting musically but flat out unenjoyable to listen to and a bit too experimental for my taste.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Nov 04 2022

A really enjoyable and consistent album. ‘Colorado’ was probably my favorite track.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Nov 08 2022

I’m usually not a big fan of rap, but there were some fantastic tracks on this. Makes for good study music.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Nov 19 2022

Golden Years is fantastic, but the rest of the album kind of misses for me personally. I do love most David Bowie though.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Nov 20 2022
Nov 27 2022

It’s literally background music. It’s not bad background music, but it’s not meant to be fully listened to as an album like one would with pretty much everything else on this list.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Nov 28 2022

Not my favorite Led Zeppelin album, but a solid one for sure. Coming off of an ambient music album, this is pretty freaking great.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Nov 29 2022

I’m not much of a fan, but it’s not as bad as some people say it is, honestly. I can absolutely understand why people like it, but it’s not my type of music.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Dec 01 2022

I love Leonard Cohens first album, but nothing he did afterword really resonates that much with me. I respect him, but I can’t really bring myself to enjoy this.

1999 by Prince
Dec 02 2022
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 14 2022

Tone-wise, all over the place. However, homeward bound is genuinely fantastic and I will always love Simon and Garfunkel, so this gets a 4.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Dec 21 2022

This is about as grunge as the 1970’s would get, from what I’ve heard. Honestly a solid listen.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Dec 22 2022

Honestly this is a really lovely album, I liked this quite a lot.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Dec 30 2022

A great metal album.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jan 03 2023

A decently enjoyable album. Elvis has a genuinely great discography, if I’m being honest. This is far from his best, but it’s pretty solid.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 14 2023
Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 28 2023
25 by Adele
Feb 06 2023
Rio by Duran Duran
Feb 07 2023
Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Mar 17 2023
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Mar 20 2023

Overall an alright debut album. American Girl is fantastic but the rest doesn’t quite reach that height.

Yeezus by Kanye West
May 29 2023
Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 03 2023

Super easy 5. Multiple of my favorite songs here, and a bunch of other classics.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Aug 15 2023
Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 24 2023
Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 06 2024

My favorite album of all time.

So by Peter Gabriel
May 12 2024
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
