Queen II by Queen

Freddie Mercury is my hero

Yeezus by Kanye West

gonna just sit with a 2 on this one, i know there are some great ones on here but not sure i can give it a listen front to back at this point

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Hair Pie: Bake 1 made me feel like I was being attacked by geese. I had hope during the intro to Moonlight on Vermont but that hope was promptly smashed when the vocals started. It never got better!

Ten by Pearl Jam
Sep 16 2022
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Sep 19 2022

First song is awesome! I loved this album best one I have listened to since joining

S&M by Metallica
Sep 21 2022

This is so insanely long. Big fan of the orchestra and had to be pretty sweet to see all of this live. Some good songs but ultimately just kinda heavy for my liking

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 23 2022

some good stuff - There She Goes, My Beautiful World; Nature Boy; Breathless; Supernaturally but also some not so good stuff - Cannibal's Hymn; Fable of the Brown Ape (what the heck was this) average at best. 3+/5

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 26 2022

This was a fun one. Makes me want to be on a beach

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Oct 03 2022
Soul Mining by The The
Oct 05 2022

Love the British post punk/new wave sound. Good stuff

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Oct 06 2022

Didn't dislike this as much as I thought I would. But probably wouldn't listen again.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Oct 11 2022

This album came out 9/11/01 which makes me feel weird to think about

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Oct 12 2022

This one was pretty cool and had to be awesome during the 70s

Blur by Blur
Oct 14 2022
Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Oct 19 2022

I liked Tides & Nadia. Feel like I've heard Homelands before. Reading the description in global reviews gives me more of an appreciation for what he was trying to do but it just wasn't really for me.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Oct 21 2022
White Light by Gene Clark
Oct 25 2022

Enjoyed the beginning, but got bored after a bit. Not bad 3/5

Ctrl by SZA
Oct 26 2022
Pump by Aerosmith
Nov 01 2022
Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Nov 04 2022

Decent but not my preferred kind of music

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Nov 10 2022

Was feeling 3 early on but liked it even more than expected. Good album

Mask by Bauhaus
Nov 11 2022

I really tried to listen to the whole thing but couldn’t do it - a little much for me

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 15 2022

Such a fun old album. Love this

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Nov 17 2022

Instruments are great but vocals are a bit much for me. All things considered I’ll call it a 3 overall

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Nov 21 2022

The organ on these is pretty cool

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 22 2022
Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 23 2022

Two days of Bruce in a row! This was much more fun to listen to, much more of the pop rock sound that I know of Springsteen. Giving it a 5

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 29 2022
La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Nov 30 2022

Tríptoco sounds like the music they play in DSW to make you buy more shoes. Overall kinda eh

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Dec 01 2022

Favorite quote off the whole album: “you’ve got to mow the lawn if you wanna get it on with me”. I mean at least he’s honest! For real though this was a fun one

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 07 2022

A few of their really great songs, but otherwise not the best

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Dec 08 2022

Was expecting to really not like it but turned out to be decent!

Achtung Baby by U2
Dec 09 2022

This is good stuff. Such an easy and enjoyable listen. Had never heard some of these but can’t pick out a bad one

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Dec 12 2022

Rhymes are really good and I'd give some individual songs higher ratings, but struggled to get through it because of the skits. A lot of the messages didn't age well but can't deny his talent.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 15 2022

I have never heard of Harry Nilsson, but what an awesome voice. Not knowing anything of him or his music before listening, I am very pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Dec 16 2022

Country roots with a lot of other sounds in here. What a beautiful voice.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Dec 21 2022

Sounds a lot like Kate Bush and sometimes sounds like Alanis Morissette. Think my fav track is Mother ~ long, kind of haunting, loved the piano. Good, not great, 4/5

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Dec 22 2022

Very fun stuff, enjoyable upbeat listen and made me want to learn how to salsa.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Dec 27 2022

not bad, but too long and I got bored.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Dec 30 2022

gonna just sit with a 2 on this one, i know there are some great ones on here but not sure i can give it a listen front to back at this point

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jan 03 2023

Pretty eh. Didn't love his voice but the album is cool in the sense that you can tell which are songs of love and which are songs of hate. Tells a decent story.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jan 11 2023

I definitely like their sound but maybe just one or two songs at a time, not an entire album. Got a bit bored

Jan 13 2023

I learned that I really don't love the harmonica. Other than that, the album front to back is good just not great in my opinion

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 16 2023

Sharp Dressed Man reminds me of Duck Dynasty

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jan 18 2023

Definitely some good songs, but overall just average

Dare! by The Human League
Jan 19 2023

I wish I was born in the 80s

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 23 2023

Admittedly have never been too big of a fan of Frank Ocean but this album grows on me every time I listen

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Jan 24 2023

I liked this. Come back to this album at some point for another listen

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jan 25 2023

Some songs are better than others - confused by the punk vocals and the fiddle at the same time? 2.8/5

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 26 2023

The beginning and end of Watermelon Man give White Lotus theme vibes!! All in all this is awesome. This is musical talent and I feel like he just really enjoys what he does.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jan 27 2023
Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jan 30 2023

For some reason I didn't like the other Chemical Brothers album we had earlier in the list, but really enjoyed this one. May have to give Dig Your Own Hole another listen...

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 01 2023

Fun and upbeat, cool album backstory as well. Would listen again

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Feb 02 2023

Honestly thought these guys were kind of a one hit wonder... Not bad though 3/5

Boston by Boston
Feb 06 2023
Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Feb 08 2023

This is the kind of country that I can get into. What a beautiful voice

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Feb 10 2023

Easy listen, good album. Never listened to them before but enjoyed this

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Feb 13 2023

17th studio album?! This was so different from all of the Beach Boys I had heard before, but so great. 4/5

90 by 808 State
Feb 17 2023

Listened to Out of Step and this right after... I have a headache

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Feb 20 2023

I knew she was talented but never really listened to her. This blew me away!

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 22 2023

At some points I thought this was a joke... is it?

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 23 2023

Picturing myself in a dimly lit jazz cocktail lounge with a dirty martini in my hand......

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Feb 28 2023
Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Mar 01 2023

I so badly wanted to love this but was admittedly kinda bored. Felt repetitive

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Mar 03 2023

The transition from The Suburbs to Ready To Start had me sold from the beginning.

In Utero by Nirvana
Mar 08 2023

All Apologies and Heart-Shaped Box are great, but they are the singles. I didn't relate to this as an album and found it kind of difficult to listen to overall so I guess it's just not my taste.

Drunk by Thundercat
Mar 09 2023

This is an album that gets better towards the end and I think will get better the more I listen to it. I also really like that there are a lot of short, fast-paced songs which makes for a fun listen. Will definitely get this in the rotation. fav song - Friend Zone

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Mar 10 2023

I don’t think a lot of those words were even real

Pink Flag by Wire
Mar 13 2023

Mannequin was good, but other than that the album is not for me

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 14 2023
Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 17 2023

Hair Pie: Bake 1 made me feel like I was being attacked by geese. I had hope during the intro to Moonlight on Vermont but that hope was promptly smashed when the vocals started. It never got better!

Sea Change by Beck
Mar 22 2023

I used to listen to Odelay in the car with my parents but never listened to anything else. between 3.5-4

Gold by Ryan Adams
Mar 23 2023

When I was watch One Tree Hill in high school I think I listened to various covers of When The Stars Go Blue for months straight... never knew this guy had the original. Some songs are pretty boring but others were very good. 3.5, closer to 3

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Mar 27 2023

Like this a lot more than Ritual De Lo Habitual

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Mar 28 2023

I feel like maybe this is an album you have to be in the mood for… I was in the mood for it

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 29 2023

Lots of very very different stuff in here. Really loved it

Homework by Daft Punk
Apr 10 2023

RIP Daft Punk :'(

High Violet by The National
Apr 13 2023

I like The National but never really listened to them a whole lot. Definitely worth the listen all the way through. Good for a nice relaxing, quiet mood.

Microshift by Hookworms
Apr 19 2023

Singer sounds a little like Brandon Flowers on some songs… and I love Brandon Flowers. This was very good. I’ve never heard of Hookworms but will dive deeper into them now.

Dookie by Green Day
Apr 28 2023
21 by Adele
May 30 2023

Unreal. Had no idea Adele had a cover of Lovesong.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jun 02 2023

Taking this from some reviews that I read - but it is hard to find an album you enjoy in a genre that you typically do not.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 12 2023

One of my favorite albums of all time

Heroes by David Bowie
Jun 16 2023
Jul 10 2023

One of my favorites from this list so far I think… this indie electro pop sound is kinda what made me fall in love with music in general. Makes me feel like I’m 14-15 shuffling my iPod library.

Queen II by Queen
Jul 26 2023

Freddie Mercury is my hero

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Aug 04 2023

Used to put this CD on in my basement as a 5-8 year old while hitting balls off the tee :,)

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Sep 04 2023
Music by Madonna
Sep 21 2023

American Pie ruined it for me :/

1999 by Prince
Oct 02 2023
Medúlla by Björk
Nov 17 2023

Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood but yikes idk

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Nov 28 2023

Definitely one to come back to. 5/5

Cross by Justice
Dec 13 2023

3.5. Stress stressed me out.

Low by David Bowie
Mar 04 2024
Kid A by Radiohead
Mar 18 2024
Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 07 2024
Elephant by The White Stripes
Jun 10 2024
The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jun 24 2024

Feeling 4.5/5 but not worthy of 5. Will be listening to more of the smiths

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Aug 08 2025

Makes me want to sit in the woods for a few days. I love them
