Urban Hymns by The Verve

I actually expected this album to be better. But the most well-known songs are awesome.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Dec 15 2022
Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 17 2022

Top 25 album of all time

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Dec 18 2022

Amazing atmosphere all the way through. Will definitely listen again

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Dec 19 2022

Good but not great. There are some interesting songs and ideas but won't keep my attention for the 41 min of runtime.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Dec 20 2022

Not really my style. The remastered version in Spotify is too bloated with alternate takes. A few good songs but mostly forgettable.

Low by David Bowie
Dec 21 2022

First half is pretty good; it's fun and bouncy. Second half gets pretty spacey and drawn out. An experimental record with hits and misses.

Dec 22 2022

There are some fun samples but otherwise didn't really click for me.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Dec 24 2022

Nice hip hop album, consistent and well produced.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Dec 25 2022

Great blues rock album, unexpectedly so actually.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Dec 27 2022

Excellent album. Reminds me of Kate Bush sometimes. Thought it was going to be boring because of the size, but I was thankfully wrong.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Dec 28 2022

Some good songs, and the singer singing gibberish is different and fun, but didn't quite make an impression.

Closer by Joy Division
Dec 29 2022

Didn't really stick for me. I like some Joy Division songs, but they aren't on this album.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 30 2022

Very atmospheric but didn't make an impression.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Dec 31 2022

I expected more from such a decorated album. RIP Chris Cornell.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jan 01 2023

An alright folk album with some interesting songs. Not exactly looking forward to listen again.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jan 02 2023

Fun electronic beats and some interesting ideas.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Jan 03 2023

Fun time! Cool jazzy folk vibes with a lot of personality. Enjoyable listen.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jan 04 2023

I actually expected this album to be better. But the most well-known songs are awesome.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jan 05 2023

Enjoyable listen. Some songs kinda sound the same, but I can't say I didn't expect that.

1977 by Ash
Jan 06 2023

Some cool songs, but it does get repetitive in the second half.

Jan 07 2023

Pure 80's pop. Really dig the bass lines, but otherwise unremarkable.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jan 08 2023

Nice. "A Day at the Races" and "What's Golden" kick ass, and the rest of the songs are strong as well.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jan 09 2023

I don't know why, but I expected more. Guess it's back to "Savoir Faire".

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Jan 11 2023

Some cool moments here and there, but otherwise unremarkable.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 12 2023

A good way to experience Metallica. Too bad it's a live session.

Quiet Life by Japan
Jan 13 2023

Never heard of this band before. Cool 80's sound but nothing that big of a deal?

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jan 15 2023

It took a while to pick up but I liked when it did.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 16 2023

Very interesting band and album, right up my alley.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 17 2023

Fun listen, I might just get into reggae one of these days.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 18 2023

Great rock album. Really a classic of its genre.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jan 19 2023

I mean... It's passable, I think? Layla and Little Wing really drive the entire album. It's baffling why Layla was left so late in the tracklist.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 20 2023

It sounds like generic 80's music. The second half of the album is miles better than the first though.
