Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jan 25 2023

Solid funk album. Might need a few more listens before it really clicks with me

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jan 26 2023

Fantastic african vibes. The click song was a favourite.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 27 2023

I appreciate it but isent quite my genre. The long bluesy songs isent my cup of tea

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Jan 28 2023

Amazing dream pop. Every song is at least good. Most are great!

Debut by Björk
Feb 07 2023

I appreciate the experimental part of it, but in the end it is to avant garde for my taste. I find her singing often hard to digest.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 08 2023

It is a cool sound with good rap flow. But the same rapping meters are used over and over again and the beats quickly get stale

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Feb 09 2023

Cool industrial techno. Some nice beats in here. Red Alert is a favourite. Some stuff are a bit too alternative for me though.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Feb 11 2023

Very solid pop with some funky influences!

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Feb 12 2023

Super monotonous rock. No melodies and just wild banging on the drums. I really don't like it.

Play by Moby
Feb 14 2023

Nice atmopheric electronic music

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 16 2023

Simple but moving. A solemn working class folk hymn.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Feb 17 2023

Irish folk songs which are easy on the ears. Nothing stands out too much though.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 18 2023

Good, old fashioned hard rock! But it doesent quite carry the earwormy melodies of similar bands of its era.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Mar 04 2023

Solid rock! Good riffs and some memorable choruses.

Leftism by Leftfield
Mar 05 2023

Very chill inducing electronic tracks. Rarely repetitive long enough to become stale. I like the addition of mellow vocals on many of thr tracks.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 06 2023

Altough many of the songs on this album are covers, Elvis does a good job making them his own.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Mar 07 2023

Not a fan of the singers voice or how the songs are constructed. It just dosent click. But there are some redeeming qualities in some of the songs.

Be by Common
Mar 08 2023

Really enjoyable hip-hop! Some great bears and memorable choruses. Faithful is my favourite track.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Mar 09 2023

Great souly music with smooth hip hop grooves

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Mar 10 2023

I'm not really feeling the songs. The compositions are too out there. Still a few decent ones.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Mar 23 2023

Some cool arrangements! But just not grabbing me very strongly.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Mar 24 2023

Good album with some classics. A bit too dissonant at some parts for my taste and most songs don't grab my attention enough.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Mar 25 2023

Some bangers in here, but the audio quality makes the singing often sound like ear piercing screaching...

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Mar 26 2023

Solid rock songs! But most of them just doesent grab me like they should. There is a staleness in the sound. I am missing the bigger soundscape found with Led Zeppelin for example

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Mar 28 2023

Great hip-hop which keeps your interest by throwing in some memorable backing riffs. Songs feel distinct which I like. Much hip-hop have a way of blending together, but not this.

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Apr 15 2023

Nice jazz to have in the background. Good compositions but nothing that really stands out to me

Vespertine by Björk
Apr 16 2023

I liked this album more then Debut. A bit easier on the ears, while still being a very avant garde experience

Apr 17 2023

Great 80s electronic! Up there with New Order. Can't believe I haden't heard more then Take on me before.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 18 2023

Very solid and souly!

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Apr 19 2023

Epic sounds and funny lyrics. But doesent have quite THAT to make it higher then 3 stars.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Apr 30 2023

Nice and mellow. Diden't grab me completely but I think it might on the second listen...

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
May 01 2023

Solid bluesy rock. But nothing that stands out too much

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
May 02 2023

Chill folksy vibe with a hint of electronica. Me likey.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
May 03 2023

Good hip hop! Songs feel distinct and the beats fresh

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
May 04 2023

It sounds good but the pure instrumentals just doesen't grab me that much.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
May 25 2023

A perfect album. Great riffs, melodies and lyrics. The feeling it induces is like no other

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
May 26 2023

Used to be my favourite album but I do now realize the blues-iness doesent appeal to me as much anymore. But that doesent hold it back from still being a great album with amazing riffs and a palpable energy.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
May 27 2023

Really great album. Distinct songs with wierd chords structures and lyrics, but somehow it just works

Among The Living by Anthrax
May 28 2023

Too thrashy. Unlike Metallica there is barely any good melodies or memorable riffs

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
May 29 2023

To strange for me. The compositions are to avante garde.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jul 28 2023

Eventough I am not a big fan of the bluesy riffs, there is something here. Some striking lyrics and melodies. The energy is also great.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jul 30 2023

Apperently "technos first album". But I dont like twchno so...too monotonous. But I like the song Wilmot.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jul 31 2023

Great album! Dustys great voice melts well together with the folksy tunes.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Aug 01 2023

Masterfull! Some of their best tunes on here. Perfectly heavy AND melodic.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Aug 30 2023

Some cool genre mixes in here! A bit TOO wierd and cool to make it stick sometimes but I respect it a lot

Palo Congo by Sabu
Aug 31 2023

Not my style I think. I can appreciate latino music for sure, but this version of it isent very appealing to me

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Sep 01 2023

Good alt rock! But I like more of the songs outside this particular album

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 02 2023

Stable alt rock! But it never goes "wow" for me

Drunk by Thundercat
Sep 15 2023
The Stranger by Billy Joel
Sep 16 2023

Hit after hit! Almost a 5 but... I will give it a 4 for now.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Sep 17 2023

Not my style. Some of the softer, later songs on the album appeals to me but many others dont click with me

Real Life by Magazine
Sep 18 2023

Decent rock! The singing is a bit too out there for me.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Sep 19 2023

Good classic rock! Just enough blues for me to accept it and just enough rock for me to love it

Country Life by Roxy Music
Oct 02 2023

Ok rock, not quite my style

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 03 2023

Coozy reggae from the Great!

1989 by Taylor Swift
Nov 16 2023

Good pop! Really liked the first 80s electro-ish songs, liked the later ones a bit less

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Nov 18 2023

Very cool melodic rap with interesting sound bites. Not a fun of the crazy drums though...

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Nov 19 2023

It's ok! The music just doesent quite click with me

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Nov 20 2023

Good emotional acoustic songs. Not quite my type of voice but it does make the lyrics feel more impactful

Dec 08 2023

A classic! The songs sounds complex yet accesible. Love the orchestral infused parts.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Dec 09 2023

Very solid! Like the guitar riffs! Morrisseys song melodies arent always thr most grabbing but still it works! Thr lyrics makes up for it.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Dec 11 2023

Great rock with bluesy undertones. "Weep themselves asleep" is the clear favourite

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Dec 12 2023

Powerful and unique! Musically it is just the right amount of "out there"

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 13 2023

Interesting but not quite my style. Nothing is bad, it just doesent grab me thr way it should

Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 14 2023

Great repetitive electronica! Aaaaalmost 5.

Yeezus by Kanye West

Low-Life by New Order
Dec 16 2023

The 80s synths are to die for

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jan 18 2024

Solid rock. Good but diden't leave an impactful impression

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jan 19 2024

I like the hip-hop style, and lyrics dealing with other subject matters then just girls and money. But like Beasty Boys, many songs end up too similar to eachother.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Jan 21 2024

Incredible voice filled with deep feelings

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 22 2024

Good rap/hip hop! Some really solid beats and catchy rap melodies

Prog at its best! The drumming is of extra note!

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Mar 03 2024

Stable rock but nothing that stands out to much for me

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Mar 04 2024

Our House is a great song, but much of the rest is to wierd and wonky for my taste

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Mar 13 2024

Absolutely fantastic! The cool 80s electro is really shining through

Violator by Depeche Mode
Mar 15 2024

Fantastic 80s electro!

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Mar 16 2024

Nothing that really catches my ear... the rock compositions are rather forgetable

Mar 30 2024

Very solid! As usual I have a hard time with the more stranger compositions, but I can still find enjoyment in most of the tracks

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Mar 31 2024

Cool industrial rock! The electro synths mixed with distortion guitar really sells it

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Apr 01 2024

Coozy sounds! Great voice and melodies

The Next Day by David Bowie

Solid album but yet again Bowies songs don't really stick with me

Some bangers in here but often a bit too chaotic for my taste

Apr 18 2024

Cool electro infused rock with industrial undertones

Great rock!

Definately dirty rock! I like it but don't love it

Garbage by Garbage
Sep 09 2024

Good rock! Has a little punk to it

Jan 05 2025

Not my thing. Can't stand her voice.

Jan 07 2025

Quite catchy beats and poignant lyrics

May 21 2025

May 22 2025

Solid southern bluegrass. A genre I don't love but... this album could be my way into it

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 24 2025

Some certified classic blues riffs in this one. Fun to experience the history but all tracks being blues instrumental leaves me wanting a bit more

American Gothic by David Ackles
May 25 2025

Very unique. Has that almost talking style which I assume Sun Kil Moon got his inspiration from. I don't love that format but I respect it

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
May 26 2025

Really nice 80s rock!

Achtung Baby by U2
Aug 05 2025

Very wacky album. Diden't like it at first but then started falling in love with the african vibes

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

xx by The xx

Jan 01 2026

Pretty good rap! I like quite a few of the musical arrangement, even if most songs don't quite capture me

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jan 03 2026

Beautiful renditions. Big variations in songs, altough that folksy feeling is always there

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 04 2026

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire

Incredible album. Great energy, lyrics and compositions blending together

Mar 18 2026

Great prog rock! Just advanced enough to be interesting but not enough to be hard on the brain (looking at you Dream Theater!)

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Apr 10 2026

Almost a 4... the songs are great but they don't really stick for me. Except Fever. That ones stuck.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Apr 11 2026

Just a very solid Bowie album!

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Apr 12 2026

Very solid grunge rock. They are no Nirvana but still good!

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Apr 13 2026

Wow. Have completely missed this band. Such great bland of electronica and rock. Love the heavy synthesizers and the beautiful song melodies!

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Apr 14 2026

I like the coolness of the punk but not always the musicality of it. But "Where is my mind" incredible of course!

Picture Book by Simply Red
Apr 15 2026

Fantastic ballads infused with 80s feeling. His voice is buttery smooth!

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jun 08 2026

The Score by Fugees
Jun 10 2026
