This is how I imagine clowns sing but I did have fun

Songs were a little hit or miss but overall a nice chill album that felt relaxing and easy to get through

FKA twigs
3/5
I don’t know if this was just a refreshing change of genre after a week of dad rock, but I enjoyed this. Listened to it on a rainy drive home and found it both relaxing and intriguing, with lots of cool sounds for my ears to chase

Bee Gees
2/5
I was saving this album for a glittery night of disco fun and was a bit sad to realize Bee Gees weren’t always the boogie they’re best known for bringing. I’m sure this album had more merit than my confusion allowed me to see, but ionno, not for me, man

Led Zeppelin
4/5
This one has some obvious classics and merit. Waaaahahay too long for me to ever want to listen to it in its entirety again but an impressive exposition nonetheless 🧐🤌
Derek & The Dominos
2/5
“Derek & The Dominos” as a name cracks me up. Right up there with “Freddy’s Formula.” Don’t really care for the music tho, boomer vacation vibes
Jorge Ben Jor
3/5
Uplifting, but also loud
The Killers
3/5
Cue album. A 13-year-old awakens. It’s 2004 and she’s sensitive, angry, and dabbling in a bit of emo and indie. Ohhh how that teen dances to the first few songs of this album, in a state of adolescent ecstasy. But around track 5, the trance shatters. A 31-year-old awakens. It’s 2022 and she hates “indie rock and roll.” …yeah overall feels kinda basic, but there are a few karaoke slappers that I still like. 3 stars.
Alice In Chains
3/5
Brings back memories of the first day of high school, lookin so cool and jamming on my Nano. Even though there are aspects about it that aren’t really my taste anymore like the vocals (sorry, Lane!!), I still think some of the songs slap.
Pixies
4/5
Had never heard this album before, and had never really listened to The Pixies before—I think I’ve been missing out on something great. Loved how unpredictable every track was, and the way it would meander through such different sounds from punky-grungy to an almost dark, melancholy tone. Would definitely listen to this again.
Meat Loaf
1/5
Good lord this felt like an eternity. I’m stuck at someone’s theater performance and waiting for the curtain-fall to free me.
The Doors
4/5
MISTER MOJO RISIN YOU GOT TO KEEP ON RISIN RISIN RISIN
great album
Nightmares On Wax
3/5
Tis groovy. Panny says that he likes that it is subdued, predictable, and safe, and I agree. Like a stress ball for your ears. It’s pretty long... Definitely more of a background soundtrack for when you’re smoking doinks with chums or throwing a Ham Party.
Neil Young
2/5
Possibly a controversial opinion, I actually do like Neil Young…however this album isn’t my favorite. Some of the vocals just sound straight-up bad and only a few are songs that I’d ever go back and listen to. It didn’t help that he removed all of his music from Spotify and I had to sit through vibe-crushing Vrbo ads between every single song on YouTube. Also i think I’m hungry and cranky.
2.5/5 IMO
The Beach Boys
4/5
Ohhh I loved it, a few corny songs, but it had me in the second half.
Public Enemy
2/5
Ohhh man I remember liking this album forever ago but struggle to get through it now... Mainly cuz Flav and the high-pitched, grating, repetitive samples of sirens, whistles, fireworks, and helium being released from a balloon. Maybe I’m just getting old but overall this was kinda headache fuel
Various Artists
2/5
Idk it’s Christmas music and it was fine. Merry chrimbas
Willie Nelson
4/5
I went into this thinking that I wouldn’t be a fan, walked out a convert. This was a charming, beautiful album that I’d return to when I need to soften up like churned butter
Julian Cope
2/5
Feeling pretty neutral about that experience. Personally I felt like no songs were gratingly bad, but none were head-bobbingly good either. It’s an album that I’ve already begun to forget, but I’d give it a point for its creative diversity of sound, even if it’s not my cup of tea. 🍵
Slipknot
2/5
Slipknot conjures images of mid-2000s hallway juggalos, and I’ll admit from the safe distance of 20 years that I did have a few slipknot songs on my iPod in high school that I’d listen to in secret… but not this album. With this one, I gotta say: haaate the melodic clean vocals, album is too long, and the energy drops midway for me. But I do love a cute mask, chunky jugga jugga juggajuggajugga, and 2008 angst nostalgia. (Also dang, Snuff, you a sad song 😢❤️) Love this genre but overall lukewarm on this album, it’s a high 2 from me dawg
Arrested Development
2/5
🎶give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day…🎶 had a fun time staining wood to this album but the repetitive choruses and religious overtones aren’t usually what I’m craving in music
Radiohead
4/5
I hate calling things hAunTiNgLY bEauTiFul but that’s it, that’s what it is. Very nice gloomy afternoon walk album
Stereo MC's
2/5
Funky n fun but doesnt do much more for me than that happy new year
Yes
4/5
Welly welly well well well i unexpectedly loved this album. A little dad-rocky, but enjoyed the constantly changing progression. I kept picking up details that could’ve influenced a ton of the music I listen to, across different genres. Heart of the Sunrise is where this album truly sends it for me.
Fatboy Slim
2/5
I don’t feel good and this album gave me a headache but I feel like if I felt good this would be fun and jez me up. So I don’t know what to think, 2.5/5
AC/DC
1/5
This is the starter-pack music you show to a classroom of middle school prep students to teach them “Intro to Rock n Roll.” It is not the music you show to an old, tired woman doing a puzzle. By “Honey Whatchoo Do For Money” this album was a 1 for me. Painfully formulaic and even a breezy 42 minutes felt too long.
Laibach
1/5
I gave this album 5 attempts, no exaggeration, and could not finish it. At first I thought, “oh this is different and fun” and within a couple minutes, it just felt like a weird, fevery nightmare soundscape that induced anxiety spikes. NAH THANKS
The Smiths
3/5
I actuallyyyyy sort of liked it. Vocals are annoying but I really enjoyed the shoegaze-y sound of it overall. Kinda comforting
Coldplay
3/5
I get that Coldplay has achieved somewhat of a meme status in popular culture, but as a sensitive crybaby Aquarian, I enjoy how watery and emotional this album is. It’s not like, something I’d ever wanna go see live, but yeah, it’s a good one to listen to while moping in front of a heater eating a tortilla.
Manu Chao
3/5
Overall a pretty cool and unique album. Songs were a little hit or miss for me, but a few bangers on here for sure.
R.E.M.
4/5
I love this album. Always reminds me of my dad driving us to school as kids, especially “Man on the Moon.” Blast that from the ‘96 Civic all dayyy
Not really my bag, but it was easy listenin’ and mentally delivered me to some mid-priced outdoor boomer eatery serving fish n chips and corona happy hour, and I think that’s where I needed to figuratively go tonight.
Portishead
4/5
I listened to this album a lotttt in college, and I credit it for pulling me out of my black metal purist phase. Vocals are almost too ASMRy at times for me, but when she gets bold and Winehousian with it, GIIIRL. Beats, samples, and instrumentals, all very entrancing 🌀〰️🌀
Shack
2/5
This is Warm 106.9 plain yogurt served with 8-grain toast and a glass of 2% milk. A very 2.5/5
Brian Eno
3/5
Well that was a fun psychedelic experience. It’s not something that I’d personally listen to on any recurring basis and I think the noisy chaos of it gave me anxiety, but points for creativity. I really have never heard anything uhhh like this
Sister Sledge
4/5
This bops
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Lol @ Jared so THATS where my copy of this album went!! absolutely love this album. First was introduced to this set in my “anthropology of rock n roll” class 13 years ago and has been in my rotation since.
Ananda Shankar
3/5
Enjoyed it. Thought some of the songs and covers were pretty interesting to listen to, and thought it ended with a nice banger.
Keith Jarrett
4/5
Deez keys dey please. Beautiful, atmospheric, reminded me of a soundtrack. Lovely day to have ears
Def Leppard
2/5
butt rock. boring. battlestar galactica.
David Bowie
4/5
You knowie I love that Bowie. Great album from start to finish. Golden Years will forever rip
Cheap Trick
2/5
I like the part where they say “didn’t I didn’t I didn’t I see ya cryin” but I could do without the rest
Rush
4/5
Never really been huge on Rush but appreciate its construction and the skill therein
Black Flag
3/5
I like a lot of music that has a streak of punk sound, but never really enjoyed taking the pure straight shot of angst that is black flag. Nevertheless I appreciate it and the ways it very probably influenced a lot of the thrashy bands I love. 🙇♀️
FKA twigs
3/5
I don’t know if this was just a refreshing change of genre after a week of dad rock, but I enjoyed this. Listened to it on a rainy drive home and found it both relaxing and intriguing, with lots of cool sounds for my ears to chase
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
Ugh I loved this. I absolutely GROOVED while cooking dinner to this, and I swear to god I will do it again
Duran Duran
3/5
I had fun
The Who
3/5
Definitely an interesting album with a lot of different styles, some I liked more than others. Less about the doo-wops but all about the songs carried by chunky heavy floor tom action.
Belle & Sebastian
2/5
*shudders* that was a very strong shot of indie folk. The vocals were immediately off-putting and I really just don’t love this genre overall, BUT there were times when this internal hipster voice whispered “but isn’t this pleasant to drink your coffee too as morning snow gently falls outside your window?” maybe.
Grateful Dead
3/5
This album changed Lindsay Weir’s life but alas it did not change mine. Pleasant overall tho
Bee Gees
2/5
I was saving this album for a glittery night of disco fun and was a bit sad to realize Bee Gees weren’t always the boogie they’re best known for bringing. I’m sure this album had more merit than my confusion allowed me to see, but ionno, not for me, man
Faust
4/5
Wow this caught me so off guard in a good way—it’s noisy, hypnotic, dark, with these crazy good doom-laden melodies… I liked the classic rocky songs less but that is okay. At times this album just sounds so ahead of its time and probably influenced a lot of the sad, doomy, dark post-rock and metal I love. will definitely be returning to this 🥵❤️
Queen
4/5
Uhm that RIPPED. I love Queen but this album has somehow missed my ears until now. March of the Black Queen had me headbanging en route to work, so goood. 4.5/5
The Verve
3/5
Lol I was clowning on this album and then next thing I know I’ve listened to it twice back-to-back. This fully dunks me in 90s cheese and I love it
Magazine
2/5
I do not like these vocals and weird circus melodies. I do not like them, Sam-I-am
David Holmes
2/5
This was like going on a hike where the most interesting thing you saw was a mildly cool stump. Sparse moments of intrigue 2.5/5
Metallica
4/5
This is the last Metallica album I really fuck wit. Shreds pretty much the whole way, and the solo in One will forever bestow the chillies
The The
2/5
Some cool piano solos but otherwise *fart noise*
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
New content for me. Nothing really stood out and hooked me in, but it was, like, fine 2.5/5
Alice Cooper
1/5
When I was a kid and saw photos of Alice cooper, I always thought his music would be so dark and scary but really it’s symphonic kids bop for a children’s spooptastic Halloween party and I’m sorry but I hate it
Deee-Lite
4/5
*Me pulling up the album cover*: oh christ wtf is this nightmare *me within the first 20 seconds of track 1*: 🤩🕺🏼✨ this spoke to both my soul and booty and I loved it
KISS
1/5
That was the dorkiest 37 minutes of rock ever recorded. Kind of endearing, but still, why
The Cardigans
3/5
I am so disoriented. I turned this on and firmly scoffed, “HA this is exactly what tHe cARdiGaNS would sound like.” Then I started liking it by “Step On Me.” Then they played the song that Jim and Andy sing in The Office and I thought I hated it again. Then they covered fucking IRON MAN and i hated them for indie-fying such a sacred heavy metal song, but I also kind of liked it at the same time?! Oh god I’m a mess over here
ZZ Top
1/5
La Grange was always my least favorite song in Guitar Hero, and a whole album of that is my personal hell. I don’t know if it’s 1-star bad…let’s give it a generous 1.6/5
George Michael
2/5
I’ve always really liked Wham for their fun, upbeat silliness, and this was the first I’ve ever sat down and listened to an entire George Michael album. It had moments of pleasant fun, but I really fell off during the ballads in the second half.
Prefab Sprout
2/5
I guess it was kinda relaxing but I have nothing else to say
Air
4/5
That was great, I remember listening to Air probably like 10 years ago, and this reminded me how much I like it. It was giving me Royksopp vibes.
The xx
4/5
Pleasantly surprised by this album,. Very ethereal, and achieves a big mood even in its minimalism.
Beatles
5/5
Legendary album and we all know it
Led Zeppelin
2/5
Was a little surprised to realize that this album was actually kind of annoying to me? I just didn’t enjoy it at all after Immigrant Song. I’ve never loved Robert Plant’s vocals but somehow even less tolerable on this album. Idk man
Gorillaz
3/5
I like it I don’t love it but I like it
Supergrass
3/5
Ionno if I’d listen to it again but it was an interesting dive into a fruit medley of punk, surfer rock, and psychedelic. Sofa of my Lethargy was prolly my favorite song. The way the vocals sound dunked under water reminds me of some Avey Tare, but this music took a lower hallucinogen dose
The Waterboys
2/5
I was on board fully by “We Will Not Be Lovers” which absolutely SUHLAPPED. When they sang “the touch of your fish is hard to resist,” I was buckled in and ready to go, feeling a jolt of excitement with every Michael Jackson woo. That is one ecstatic celtic violin and boy does it go hard at the end. Sadly the rest of the album had no nutritional value to me even as meme music.
N.W.A.
3/5
Listening to this album as a white woman in my Subaru Outback in the drive-thru of a suburban Panda Express, I recognize there’s a cultural merit to this album that is out of the context of my own experience. But I can see how anthems like Fuck Tha Police offered a much needed catharsis in the late 80s, and unfortunately have a timeless quality as so many of the social frustrations this album vents still carry on today. Kinda like with Public Enemy, I enjoy hearing the songs as single units, but find it difficult to sit and listen to the entire album. Nevertheless, enjoyed it.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
I’m familiar with Nick Cave and I think I’ve listened to his music before while on a road trip with a friend who’s a huge fan. But I forgot just how much I do not enjoy this. This feels more like spoken word poetry than music, and for me, it was impossible to differentiate between any two songs. The background instrumentals and album art are pretty, though.
Nick Drake
4/5
This was some prime vintage indie. What really made it stand out was the always surprising and creative instrumental additions that kept the album moving as opposed to stuck in the repetitive rut of “guy singing with guitar.” Nahhh you throw in some horns, a lil mellotron, some wild jazz keys, and why not, flute. Jury is still out on the vocals for me, something about it kinda reminds me of “Going Up the Country” but whatever idk
Deep Purple
2/5
Too many falsettos. Felt like I was listening to Dennis Reynolds by the end of Child In Time
Van Morrison
2/5
Obnoxious
50 Cent
2/5
Enjoyed the nostalgia of In Da Club but otherwise the album crawled through pretty unremarkable tracks
Pulp
2/5
This album actually had some really cool instrumentals but was hard to appreciate them under that singer that sounds like a slutty Dracula
Bob Dylan
4/5
Yet ANOTHER album that reminds me of driving with my dad. Never been a huge Dylanhead myself but I really do love this album and the memories tied to it
Björk
4/5
I don’t know HOW I’ve slept on Björk this long. This was lovely. The soft synth + crackle sound on Cocoon is a sound I’ve heard in other Icelandic electronic like Múm, and it’s just one of the most beautiful sounds—I think it must remind me of something because, fuck, that song made me emotional! Anyway starring a few songs and making a note to absolutely fuck with more Björk
Turbonegro
2/5
At first, I thought it was aight but just really cringe lyrics—but it just seemed to get worse the longer I listened to it
Tim Buckley
2/5
Listening to this album was like hanging out with a friend’s friend who at first seems cool but the more they talk the less you wish they were there. I don’t really know why but that is just how this feels
Al Green
5/5
Wow damn that entire album was the definition of chill and I loved it. Head bobbing, eyes closed, easy grooving. Every instrument works together in such impeccable harmony, and everything feels right in the world at least for these 34 minutes.
The Strokes
4/5
very good job with the album, this good music and it was nice to cook chili to
Sufjan Stevens
4/5
I really like sufjan when it’s on, but rarely find myself coming back to it. I’m just not a huge fan of that indie sound, and on this one, the horns were sometimes a little too jovial and the keys sometimes sounded like Peanuts. But I love the slower, sadder songs. Overall a great album, interesting and pleasant from beginning to end.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
It’s fine
Bob Dylan
2/5
Ehhhh didn’t like this album very much, songs were pleasant but felt like they didn’t leave much of an impression, and his voice on this one is particularly cartoon smoker
Otis Redding
3/5
Quite an excellent voice but good lord I cannot handle the sheer volume of horns
Stevie Wonder
2/5
Haven’t listened to Stevie wonder since his collab with 98 degrees for the Mulan soundtrack. Anyway some songs were cool but a lot were just very churchy or melodramatic and no thank yaaaa
Iggy Pop
2/5
Cranky and didn’t like it
Alice Cooper
2/5
Not quite as awful as School’s Out but still pretty insufferable
Tricky
3/5
It’s pretty good but get me a bumper sticker that says “I’d Rather Be Listening to Portishead”
Nick Drake
3/5
I liked it, not as much as the last album on here, but still pleasant albeit a little Starbucks lobby-y
New Order
3/5
Not usually what I’d throw on to add some lift to my day, but this did the job anyway.
The Go-Go's
2/5
This felt like I was listening to Josie and the Pussycats. Kinda fun for a driving-in-the-sun day but would never listen to this album intentionally again
Stevie Wonder
3/5
I really dragged my feet listening to this one after the last stevie album which I did not vibe with much at all, but warmed up to this one more. Some songs made me realize how much boy bands of the 90s/2000s borrowed from him I feel like maybe?? Anyway this one was both warm (the funk) and cold (the ballads) for me
Prince
2/5
This was my first sit-down-and-really-listen-to-Prince Prince experience. And I’m sorry to everyone who loves Prince but I didn’t really like it.
Mike Oldfield
4/5
✅ proggy ✅ folky ✅weird
Fred Neil
3/5
At first I wasn’t sure but it grew on me
Minutemen
3/5
A little long but enjoyed it. Bonus Jackass theme was a nice plus
Ryan Adams
1/5
I really truly genuinely TRY to make it through the whole album before rating but by track #4 this album had ruined my day and I cannot do it anymore. Go ahead and judge this album by its cover because it is 🇺🇸 a w f u l 🇺🇸
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Well that was lovely
Faith No More
2/5
I really loved it as a meme but maybe not as music
Public Enemy
3/5
Enjoyed this one more than the album with hella horns, whistles, and sirens and that’s about all I can say about that right now
Frank Sinatra
3/5
It’s 11PM, it’s been raining all day, and I’m snuggled up with a cat, blanket, and crossword. This hit with a really nice cozy vibe, and I think it helped me enjoy it more than I normally would. 3.5/5
Le Tigre
1/5
This is my personal Cringefest 2023 headliner. Kat from 10 Things I Hate About You started a garage band. I really just hated it and that is that.
Ali Farka Touré
4/5
Relaxing, interesting, unique, what’s not to like
Dwight Yoakam
2/5
I hate this but also feel like that’s the city slicker in me refusing to click my boots, toss some hay, and hoe on down
David Bowie
3/5
Far from my favorite Bowie album but it has a special place as his final gift to the world. It has its weird, fun, intriguing moments. 👩🏻🎤
The Velvet Underground
3/5
Songs were a little hit or miss but overall a nice chill album that felt relaxing and easy to get through
Sigur Rós
5/5
Probably one of my most listened to albums of all time, transcendental
Foo Fighters
3/5
If this was Cold Stone Creamery, this album would be a solid “Like It.” Not quite a “Love It” and pretty far from “Gotta Have It.” But I like it. 🍨
3/5
This album is like 10 years older than I thought it was! 16-year-old me is vibing, brings back memories of a high school crush playing Wonderwall for the school talent show 😳😍😘 3 stars for nostalgia and fond memories
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
3/5
This would be much better at a country dive bar with a whiskey but stuck in a car it’s only tolerable
Common
3/5
Enjoyed it for the most part, started losing me at the chipmunk voice
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5
This did not bring me joy but it was also tolerable
The Flaming Lips
4/5
Loved
Cornershop
3/5
At times, repetitive and annoying. At times, unexpected and strange. At times, somewhere in the middle. Like a 2.6/5.
Fugees
4/5
I’m into this, I’m into this
Orbital
3/5
I really only get down with the trancy dancy in live, late night environments, so listening to this in bed on an iPad surely won’t have the same effect. But overall I enjoyed it, especially Halcyon and On and On which seems to be their most popular song by far.
10cc
3/5
Really progressing from feeling annoyed, bored, …and then delighted by this album’s fun, dorky silliness. And in the end, I think I needed to take today less seriously so you know what, 3 ⭐️s
Miriam Makeba
3/5
Enjoyed this. Except the song with laughing. Laughing in music is always a little creepy.
MGMT
4/5
Ohhh to be 16 years old, listening to this album on a summertime drive, windows down and your teenage friends being annoying. I love this and always will.
The Teardrop Explodes
2/5
Made me sigh a lot
Leonard Cohen
2/5
The music itself is very good but I CANNOT with this low gravelly voice. I don’t know why but it’s so unsettling and I physically can’t finish this
GZA
4/5
Fire
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Fun. And fine.
Booker T. & The MG's
3/5
Kind of dorky but if I catch myself dancing it’s an automatic 3-star min.
The Divine Comedy
2/5
Why do I feel like Zack from Love Is Blind would love this
Gang Of Four
2/5
Ehhh I dunno I barely even noticed the music was playing. Not very ear catching and felt kinda basic
The Streets
2/5
This sounds like an album Naboo and Bollo would make together
Terence Trent D'Arby
2/5
The Michael Jackson we have at home:
Deerhunter
5/5
First time listening to this album and I was in love with it from start to finish. Something about “Earthquake” hit my soul wherever lives memories of floating through nights of live music, it made me emotional!! The effervescent psychedelic songs, the campy upper songs, it all just hits for me
Kate Bush
4/5
This banged. How we went from 80s pop to Irish jig I don’t know, but here for it
Cee Lo Green
3/5
Second half started to grow on me
Beatles
2/5
This album kind of annoyed me. Plain music about insecure, controlling lads
The Smashing Pumpkins
2/5
It’s traditionally pretty but I am so bored, good god
Aimee Mann
2/5
Appreciate the attempt to balance all the dad rock with a little mom rock. But the only thing I liked about this album was the cover. Very relatable.
Thundercat
4/5
WooooohoooohooooHOOO so that’s what Thundercat is about. Dark jazzy psychedelic 3am on the floor vibes, I loved this
Bob Dylan
4/5
As far as a Bobby album goes, this is good and that’s all I have to say about that
Aerosmith
2/5
I liked it when he was singing about his toys. I didn’t like it when he was singing about his 10-inch whatever….or really anything else. This was not good.
Beastie Boys
2/5
Never have and never will love this. Annoying.
Gene Clark
3/5
Pleasant enough
The White Stripes
4/5
😌👍
Fleetwood Mac

Who doesn’t love it
George Jones
2/5
I was passively listening to this and it made me noticeably cranky so I’ll go ahead and take that to mean this one was a bwomp for me
Nick Drake
3/5
I mean it’s a pretty album for sure, but my god how much Nick drake is there and how many more is this list gonna make me do 3.5/5
Paul Simon
3/5
I don’t know what I was expecting but that was nice. Just so, so, so tired and this felt like the baby’s lullaby I needed
Brian Wilson
4/5
Surfs up its good stuff my dude
Miles Davis
3/5
I wouldn’t normally listen to this unless I was playing, like, The Sims: Hot Date expansion pack but I still like and appreciate it 3.5/5
Arcade Fire
3/5
I was excited to listen to this because for some reason I have memories of this band being real hyped up yet I’d never listened to it before. But I guess I was surprised that it was kinda meh
Michael Jackson
4/5
Not a Michaelhead by any stretch of the word, but with hits like Thriller, Billie Jean, and Beat It, I’m not gonna argue that this album does have some pretty serious slap
The Cars
3/5
Standard Issue Music. Spotify suggested that I “might also like” a playlist simply titled “Dad Rock.” 2.5/5
Grizzly Bear
5/5
We own this one on vinyl and it’s always been a pleasant listen, but this is the first time I’ve given it my full concentration. And man, this album is just so beautiful and unique. It’s folky and ethereal and leaves me feeling like I’ve been outside under the stars thought I know not why 🗿 4.5/5
The Cramps
3/5
This is pretty much how I expected this to sound
Machito
3/5
Horns aren’t really my favorite sound but nevertheless this was uplifting and made me feel like I was watching Office Space
ABBA
3/5
I don’t know it was fun overall but I agree, teacher song is weird
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Thoust rippeth
Miles Davis
3/5
It’s smooth I’ll give it that, but I’m no Howard Moon and this overall does so little for me
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
oh that was SLAY
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
Not slay
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
3/5
Not bad but I had higher hopes for this album based on track one and the album art. “Are You Ready Eddy” was a wack finale
David Crosby
4/5
Dang okay well that was lovely. Spotify is missing two songs for some reason and was enjoying the album enough to look em up on YouTube. Love that album art too, very “Isolation” by Howard Moon
Led Zeppelin
3/5
Don’t tell me you guys’ve never gotten the Led out.
The Band
2/5
This turned me into a 78-year-old man and I’m not sure I wanted that
Van Morrison
2/5
Now I know who sings that one song I don’t like
Supergrass
2/5
God this thing logjammed my list up for days because I couldn’t get through it. I don’t know why but this annoyed the shingles off me.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
4/5
Nice job boys, top notch harmonies
Rod Stewart
2/5
I listened to this while starting my day and barely noticed it was playing. So generic it felt ambient
The Cure
4/5
Oh my goth I loved it
3/5
I genuinely love prog rock albums with endless, meandering tracks that feel symphonic. This one had some cool spacey segments and god bless the mellotron, but the more grounded classic rock parts didn’t do quite as much for me
Nine Inch Nails
3/5
Huh okay so I didn’t enjoy this album as much as I remember. There are a few standout songs that I still really love but felt like I was wading through kinda-meh tracks to get there.
Dead Kennedys
3/5
This is how I imagine clowns sing but I did have fun
Dire Straits
3/5
It was nice music to cook a corn cob to
Jerry Lee Lewis
2/5
I think I’m incapable of whatever mood this music requires, it just registers as chaos in my body
Baaba Maal
3/5
Cheery and fun to craft to in the morningtimes
Skunk Anansie
2/5
Instrumentals were cool but I absolutely could not get past the vocals
Solange
3/5
Well ain’t that some smueth rhythm n blues for a Friday afternuen
The Mamas & The Papas
3/5
Dorky but sweet
Wilco
1/5
This is what Satan would play for me in hell
Bob Dylan
4/5
I always kinda sigh when we hit another Bob Dylan album but I liked this one quite a bit. Has some zest and zang.
Dolly Parton
4/5
Well would you look at that, I’m a Dollyhead. Never really listened to her tunes but that was just fabulous
Sarah Vaughan
3/5
I liked all the silkiness but will pass on the scatting
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
I’ll admit it, I had fun and love those dramatic keyboard crash sounds
Jane's Addiction
2/5
I love Dave Navarro on Inkmaster 2.5/5
B.B. King
3/5
Pretty good wow he really worked that crowd
The Who
3/5
Well it’s fine and all but that’s about the only feelings I have about it
Frank Zappa
4/5
Considering the amount of involuntary Zappa I’m subjected to living with Craig, I was surprised how much I really liked this album. Pretty incredible composition.
4/5
A lot of timeless classics on here. Feel like the album as a whole is great but has a few pothole songs that I’d normally skip
Super Furry Animals
3/5
I liked it fine but will I ever listen to it again? No one knows
Syd Barrett
4/5
Lol @ “children’s songs for people on acid” 😂😂😂 I was actually kinda lukewarm to start and then the weird campy offness started to really grow on me. Enjoyed it. 3.5/5
Lynyrd Skynyrd
2/5
Freebird is always fun but the rest just sounds like southern Red Hot Chili Peppers
Arctic Monkeys
3/5
Okay weird I think I’ve never consciously listened to the Arctic Monkeys before. Enjoyed it, it wowed me about as much as any standard alternative album could, but seems like the type that grows on your over multiple listens. 3.5/5
Sparks
2/5
Songs were fun but something about those aristocratic sounding vocals is unforgivably cringe to me
Tim Buckley
2/5
This album was pulling a 3 until Gypsy Woman, a 12-minute cliche and my god I was fighting for my life through it
Lauryn Hill
3/5
Ahhh so that’s who sings the That Thing song. I like that song and good album overall. I don’t really love it when albums have a million spoken-word tracks. But yeah anyways still good
ZZ Top
2/5
ZZ Mid imo sorry if that hurts anyone but I don’t carry the gene that allows me to enjoy this band
a-ha
3/5
The slow ballads are pretty weak but I’ll take everything else. Take Me On obviously is legendary
The Prodigy
2/5
Ehhh i dunno I don’t really like electronic that goes this hard on space sounds. I acknowledge that listening to this on air pods while cleaning moss off bricks probably was not the intended environment, and maybe I’d enjoy it more at 2am in some trippy galaxy tent. but yeah it’s a 2.5/5 from me dawg
Sonic Youth
3/5
At times I loved it and thought it had some really cool, dark post-rocky sounds that were way ahead of its time. And other times, it was kinda meh. 3.5/5
Todd Rundgren
3/5
Was bracing myself for a slog but overall kinda enjoyed it, minus the song about being in love with a minor. Some cringe, but some fun. I liked that it had a game, more albums should have games 3.5/5
LCD Soundsystem
2/5
At first I felt there were too many beeps and boops, and then it turned into really vanilla alternative, and then was happy to beeps and boops came back. 2.5/5
Public Enemy
3/5
A bit better than the album that had air horns but I’m not sure that’s saying much
Slade
2/5
When played backwards, this album sounds like The Beatles growing their hair out and taking their shirts off. 2.5/5
Harry Nilsson
2/5
Other than the occasional uplifting bass sequence i did not like this one bit
Circle Jerks
2/5
🤷♀️
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
First time listening this one from beginning to end and, pretty legendary.
Brian Eno
3/5
Not the Brian Eno I’ve heard before, some of the vocals were a little annoying to me but overall liked it
The Damned
3/5
It’s possible that I’m exhausted past the point of critique but you know what, I’ll say it, that was fun
Supertramp
3/5
I barely remember this album from 2 days ago, so probably wasn’t life changing but twas good
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Man I really liked this album. I don’t fully know what story the lyrics were actually telling but they held my attention the whole album which is a rare thing for me. Felt both simple and emotional at the same time
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
definitely enjoyed this more than his weird spoken word one but dear god why is it so long
Def Leppard
3/5
standard issue butt rock but I won’t lie, was fully in by Rock of Ages
Dusty Springfield
4/5
what the heck this girls got pipes and I loved the whole dang thang

interesting, at times a little cheesy but had some really chill parts

3/5
very British and very 1994… i really like this album cover

3/5
ehh I mean it’s fine
The Mothers Of Invention
3/5

3/5
a fun jammy time, I personally don’t love it when janis goes full rasp with it

4/5
of all of Green Day’s music, this is the goods
A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
I mean what’s not to love here, it’s a smoothie
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
what a classic album, wait in vain just might be my favorite reggae song of all time
The Who
3/5
Joe Pera made Baba O’Riley a 5 but the rest of the album sadly does not make me wanna ring bells and eat ice cream
Madonna
2/5
This sounds right on the cusp between 80s era and boy-band pop. I was clinging to consciousness through these ballads, so gd boring
Linkin Park
4/5
What a defining album at the turn of a millennia. I remember buying Meteora as a kid and loved that album. This album has a kind of nostalgic swagger too and while I really would never listen to this album today, the 14-year old in me would like to give this a 4/5
Mike Ladd
3/5
Actually fairly dope 3.5/5
The Cure
4/5
Favorite album from The Cure. It hits wherever 2006 lives in my body—I loved this album in high school, and had Lullaby and Same Deep Water on repeat on those Sad Goth Girl days. That watery, sad sound is just so good. 4.5/5
Nanci Griffith
3/5
Very pleasant, nice nanci
Cat Stevens
2/5
this makes me feel trapped in a teen indie film. Whenever people start singing about barley I am fucking out
Manic Street Preachers
2/5
At times it was fun but kind of forgettable at the same time 2.5/5
Brian Eno
3/5
3.5/5 needed more weed for this prolly but still a vintage fun time. Love a dark atmospheric synth

3/5

Green Day
1/5

4/5

4/5
Marvin Gaye invented romance
Willie Nelson

2/5
that was a wild ride across dorky, boring, and annoying

3/5
very pleasant reggae way 2 go Marcus 3.5/5
Elastica
2/5
I mean I don’t like this genre but I did reach a state of neutral tolerance with it so I guess that’s good 2.5/5

At times it made me go 🥴 and others it made me go 🤔 and sometimes it was 🤠 so overall it’s a 😏
Depeche Mode
3/5
Listened to this while scrolling r/nope which was an interesting time. I like its weird dark angst. I think if I’d grown up in the 80s I would have loved this but alas my past goth self was more interested in Korn 3.5/5

4/5
You know it’s good when your head involuntarily bobs
Megadeth

Wire
3/5
It’s fine and all but I couldn’t tell two of these songs apart if my life depended on it
Metallica
4/5
Legendary album for a reason. This era of heavy metal was such an apex for the genre, it was just so full of epic symphonic progression that keeps the energy building and changing 4.5/5
Dizzee Rascal
2/5
Dizzee feels like that friend who makes music that you wanna support but you just don’t really like it that much
Fleetwood Mac
3/5

Radiohead
4/5
I’ll admit there’s a strong nostalgia factor here but I do just love this album
Ramones

2/5
Nice little Irish zang in there but overall didn’t love it 2.5/5

3/5
Relaxing and pleasant 3.5/5
The Avalanches
4/5
😎🕺🏼
Ozomatli
2/5

Little Richard
3/5
Tutti frutti ready teddy Jenny Jenny
Robert Wyatt
3/5
Weird, I like 3.5/5
Todd Rundgren
3/5

Michael Kiwanuka
4/5
Wow I loved this. Beautiful voice and really dug the minimalistic instrumentals that just gave this whole album a really cozy vibe
The Beau Brummels
2/5
Listened to this while tired and yelling at cars in traffic and I gotta say, it pissed me off, but points for only being 28 minutes
The Charlatans
2/5
This is one of those albums that doesnt really make me feel anything at all. No joy, no pain, no nostalgia, not even annoyance. 2.5/5
Slayer
5/5
Man what an absolute shockwave of an album in the world of thrash. Raining Blood never ceases to give me chills.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
3/5

Sonic Youth
3/5

2/5

CHIC
4/5
