Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo

I loved listening to the melodies and sounds that made up the songs. This was absolutely beautiful, and I can see myself turning this music on again in the future.

1-Star Albums (8)

All Ratings (138)

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 01 2022

Bowie is an unparalleled talent. This was a great listen. I enjoyed the instrumental tracks A LOT! I also enjoyed V-2 Schneider. My fav was probably Jon the Lion.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Dec 02 2022

I’ve always enjoyed Led Zeppelin. I think my fav on this album is Night Flight. I will revisit this album!

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Dec 05 2022

Loved loved loved! Enjoyed Where Do The Children Play as well as Wild World.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Dec 06 2022

Didn’t know that I knew this music. I love early rock and roll. Jump, Jive, An’ Wail was recognizable. I enjoyed the tracks with a female vocalist as well as the instrumental tracks. Great listen!

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Dec 07 2022

Bang A Gong was the beginning of my hippie awakening as a teen. So fun to hear the rest of this album. I like the vocalist & really did enjoy, but many of the songs sounded the same.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Dec 08 2022

Janis is instant nostalgia. Her tone is unparalleled. What a voice. What a soul. What a loss. I loved every song. My favourites were Cry Baby and Mercedes Benz. But Trust Me really struck a chord, too. God I loved this one.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 09 2022

Other than Once In A Lifetime, I didn’t like or recognize any other songs. Alas.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Dec 12 2022

While Wonder is an extremely talented vocalist & musician, I couldn’t help but find this album to be very boring. The two songs I recognized have been ruined by years in retail. This one wasn’t for me.

Dec 13 2022

People Everyday is such a good song. Most of the other songs sounded the same to me? I like the overall feel, but by the last few songs I was ready to move on.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Dec 14 2022

Mellow listening. I enjoy the late 60s vibes and the lyrics, but there weren’t any stand out tracks for me with this one. Solid listen but won’t return to this album in particular.

Destroyer by KISS
Dec 16 2022

These songs all sounded the same and I didn’t recognize one of them. Having said that, I do like Kiss’ sound and their lyrics make me laugh so I’d come back to this one!

Abraxas by Santana
Dec 19 2022

Can appreciate Santana’s musicianship & extraordinary talent, but I can’t get into his music. Fav track was Oye Como Va.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Dec 20 2022

I knew more songs that I thought I would, and I love George’s voice. Some songs weren’t for me, but I enjoyed listening overall!

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Dec 21 2022

Great lyrics and melodies. Waits has a distinctive style and voice which sadly isn’t for me.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Dec 22 2022

This seems like a very progressive sound for the time it was released. I enjoyed the instrumentals and most of the tracks. Not sure I’d go back and re listen to anything; no standouts really for my taste.

Dec 23 2022

This wasn’t too bad, but I am not a big fan of country. I didn’t mind some of the songs, but many of the lyrics were about God which I didn’t like.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Dec 27 2022

Turns out I super like this band! Many recognizable songs. Love the vibe.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jan 03 2023

A solid listen. I liked the vibe. Great lyrics & vocalist. I’d explore more of their music for sure.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jan 04 2023

I enjoyed the songs and the lyrics and vocalist. By the end, though all the songs sounded the same.

Arise by Sepultura
Jan 05 2023

I liked it at the start, but the lyrics weren’t for me.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jan 10 2023

Proto-punk is not a genre I like, it turns out. I enjoyed the vocalist, but overall I didn’t like the songs.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jan 12 2023

Super 90s vibes. Reminded me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer era music. I liked it a lot but wouldn’t seek it out necessarily.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jan 13 2023

I love her sound & voice. Big fan of this album.

Suede by Suede
Jan 16 2023

This was a good listen. I could see putting on a song or two, but the entire album for a bit repetitive at the end. Great vocalist.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Jan 17 2023

Too much Gary Numan all at once. Love Cars obviously. On Broadway was a super fun cover. I like the overall sound, but listening to the album all at once is just too much.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 18 2023

Turns out I really like Neil Young’s music beyond his major hits. His voice is very soothing, and I enjoyed the lyrics in these songs. I liked Powderfinger most of all.

Jan 19 2023

Wow…I liked this. I haven’t ever had a positive responds to RS’s music, but this was enjoyable! No major standout favourites but I think that it was a short album helped me to enjoy it more.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 20 2023

I did not like this. Some songs were okay - a little lighter and with more of a melody I liked. But I couldn’t really hear any lyrics in some songs and it just sounded like ambient noise. Having said that, my 10 month old seemed to really like it.

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 23 2023

Super loved! This whole musical style (post-grunge alt-rock?) is something I want to explore more of. The female vocalist was sublime.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jan 24 2023

Loved. What an excellent album, start to finish.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 26 2023

Exquisite. No notes. I love it more and more with every listen.

21 by Adele
Jan 27 2023

I own this album and have listened many times. While there are some songs that I don’t love, it’s excellent. I love Adele so much.

Jan 30 2023

Absolutely loved listening to this album. Gorgeous jazz music. I have added it to my Spotify rotation to return to when I’m in the mood. Stunning.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 31 2023

Super liked!!

Berlin by Lou Reed
Feb 01 2023

This was just okay. I had never heard any of Reed’s music but have heard the name a lot so I guess I had higher expectations.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Feb 02 2023

Love the general sound but no individual song stood out as exceptional to me.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Feb 03 2023

Two hours and six minutes? Cut it down to 40 and I would have been good with three stars but it just was too much. Some good songs but nothing I’m rushing back to listen to.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 06 2023

This was so fun to listen to!

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Feb 07 2023

This was ok. I’m not a massive fan. By the end I was ready to turn it off.

Feb 08 2023

Loved! I really like the vocalist and the late 90s Alternative rock / punk rock / grunge sound.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 09 2023

This was fine but a little repetitive. I liked that it was live, and I enjoyed the first half more than the back half.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Feb 10 2023

I love British rap. Lyrics were tight and the rhythm to each song was so catchy. Will return to this artist!

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 14 2023

This wasn’t as heavy as I anticipated. I liked many of the songs and enjoyed the main singer’s voice.

Nixon by Lambchop
Feb 16 2023

This was okay but I wouldn’t listen to these songs again.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Feb 17 2023

I really enjoyed this! Haven’t really listened to much Stones but am a big fan after this album.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 20 2023

Some songs were fine but I didn’t like the lyrics. I genuinely thought this was a Christian rock album at first.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Feb 21 2023

I absolutely love the counter culture, anti-establishment lyrics. I’m shocked I’ve never bothered to listen to RATM before. I loved this!

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Feb 22 2023

I understood 1/3 of the lyrics but I loved the French pop style. Brel’s voice was lovely & melodic.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Feb 23 2023

This wasn’t as bad as I anticipated but it still wasn’t for me.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Feb 24 2023

I loved listening to the melodies and sounds that made up the songs. This was absolutely beautiful, and I can see myself turning this music on again in the future.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Feb 27 2023

Somehow I’ve never listened to The Smiths despite knowing that they are an incredibly important and beloved group. Turns out that’s for a reason. Loved their sound & their lyrics!

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Mar 02 2023

I loved this so much! I recognized many of the songs and it all felt very nostalgic. Great album.

Mar 03 2023

I find their music all sounds the same. And while I enjoy the vocalist’s voice, I just don’t like their music enough to enjoy a full album of it.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Mar 06 2023

I enjoy their music, but I wasn’t really into most of the songs on this album.

Marquee Moon by Television
Mar 07 2023

This was okay but unremarkable. Sometimes I wonder why certain albums make the cut and not others - and this is one that had me questioning.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 08 2023

I really, really loved this.

Risque by CHIC
Mar 09 2023

Very catchy & danceable music! Wouldn’t turn it on normally, but it was a fun listen for this project.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Mar 23 2023

I would listen to this again. I loved the folksy vibes.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 28 2023

This was ok. Nothing really stood out to me aside from Hallelujah - and that isn’t even my favourite cover of the song.

Hotel California by Eagles
Mar 29 2023

Classic easy listening. Nothing stands out, and also most of this music was ruined by years of working in retail.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Mar 30 2023

Lots of these songs were overplayed in my retail days, but they were still okay to listen to.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Mar 31 2023

I enjoyed this and found a lot of the songs very catch!

Apr 03 2023

This was ok - some songs were more catchy than others, but mostly it just felt repetitive by the end.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Apr 04 2023

Back to back albums by this group wasn’t great, but I did like this one a bit more than the other. I enjoyed their big singles, one of which I even recognized. My husband told me a bit about why they are noteworthy and I liked learning that trivia.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Apr 05 2023

This is the exact kind of country music I don’t like.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Apr 10 2023

This was okay. I only liked a few songs.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Apr 11 2023

Not a fan whatsoever.

Apr 12 2023

I liked the slower, quieter songs. Some of these were very relaxing!

Apr 13 2023

There are so many of their albums in this generator! I really enjoy them but wasn’t feeling the more Christian songs.

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 14 2023

Fun and catchy!

On The Beach by Neil Young
Apr 25 2023

I really loved this one. Very mellow and an easy listen.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Apr 26 2023

Ok so turns out I really like Waits’ music & voice. I’m so glad I listened to this one.

The Band by The Band
Apr 28 2023

Absolutely loved.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
May 02 2023

Loved this! Can’t believe I didn’t listen to this before now.

The Clash by The Clash
May 08 2023

Really enjoyed this one!

C'est Chic by CHIC
May 09 2023

Fine in small doses but it got repetitive.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
May 10 2023

I do not like the Bee Gees.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 15 2023

I thoroughly enjoyed this!

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
May 16 2023

I did not like this music. I can’t quite put my finger on why.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 26 2023

I really love CCR!

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
May 29 2023

This was delightful!

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
May 30 2023

I like some of the songs on this album; the sounds were unique and it was easy listening. Some of the spoken word (?) or speaking just didn’t work for me.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
May 31 2023

I really like their music. It’s catchy and fun, and I want to listen to more of their deep cuts. Very underrated band.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Jun 01 2023

Really liked the vocalist(s) but overall the music was just okay for me. I wouldn’t seek out their music, but I wouldn’t hurry to change it if it were already on.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Jun 02 2023

I liked the overall sound here, but the album got repetitive by the end.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 05 2023

I loved this album. I was so pleasantly surprised by this as I hadn’t heard anything outside of their singles before.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jun 06 2023

Loved. No notes.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jun 09 2023

This was okay. Not the biggest fan of electronica / this style of music, but it was easy background listening.

S&M by Metallica
Jun 12 2023

This album is excessively long. I love the interplay of metal and orchestral sounds. But we only got a few songs in before moving on. We will continue to listen in small doses.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 13 2023

Once upon a time I owned this album on vinyl. I do love Duran Duran. Like a lot.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jun 14 2023

I’m very surprised to learn that The Doors are just very ok for me.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jun 15 2023

Not at all for me.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jun 21 2023

This was ok. Not my favourite; a couple a good songs, but overall forgettable.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jun 28 2023

I just didn’t jive with this at all.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jun 29 2023

This was great. I knew their hit single, but hasn’t listened to any of the other songs. Very much my style of music.

Scum by Napalm Death
Jun 30 2023

Not at all for me.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jul 03 2023

This was fine but not something I’d go back to. This style of music all sounds the same to me - I just don’t really connect with it.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jul 04 2023

The GOAT. His music is a balm for the soul!

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jul 05 2023

I didn’t mind most of the tracks, but each one was just too long.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jul 06 2023

This was very easy to listen to. I quite enjoyed the melodies and the spoken word, even though I didn’t understand what was being said (it was in a different language).

Jul 07 2023

This was just ok. Not my kind of music and sadly no stand out songs.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jul 12 2023

This definitely reminded me of 90s alt rock. It was okay to listen to. Nothing stood out.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Jul 25 2023

So so good. Love this band.

Nowhere by Ride
Jul 26 2023

I didn’t like this, so we didn’t listen to the whole album.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Jul 27 2023

This was a really neat album but some songs were really unsettling.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jul 31 2023

Not my fav other than their single.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Aug 09 2023

I enjoyed this a lot!

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 24 2023

That was quite short and a fun listen.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Aug 25 2023

Not too bad, but it got repetitive.
