Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Mar 02 2023

Mellow vibes and Taylor has a pleasant folksy voice, but not much variety.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Mar 03 2023

Non-stop fun from start to finish. These girls know how to rock

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Mar 04 2023

Some good songs, but not particularly engaging. Probably didn't need to be a double album.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Mar 05 2023

On the whole this album didn't do much for me outside of a few good songs. I will say, however, that this album truly feels timeless, and wouldn't seem out of place in the 50s or the 21st century.

The La's by The La's
Mar 06 2023

Probably my favorite that I've gotten so far. I was completely unfamiliar with this album before listening, and it blew me away! Great variety in music and really captures a unique sound that fits right in between 80s pop rock and the onset of grunge.

Debut by Björk
Mar 08 2023

Eclectic, original, and fun all the way through. Not sure if I've ever heard an album quite like it.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 09 2023

Just another piece of proof that girls can rock out rough and rowdy just like anyone else.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Mar 10 2023

Excellent showcase of what made Elvis a legend.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Mar 11 2023

Plenty of beautiful and heartfelt songs, but I didn't find myself moved as much as I would have expected.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Mar 12 2023

Pavement provides an excellent alternative to grunge in the early 90s rock scene with their unique sound.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 14 2023

A true metal masterpiece that laid the groundwork for future bands in the genre. So many of its themes still ring true 50 years later.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Mar 15 2023
Yeezus by Kanye West
Mar 23 2023
Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Mar 24 2023

Not as good as "Heaven or Las Vegas", but still great an early glimpse into the nascent dream pop/shoegaze scene that would hit its stride in the early 90s.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 31 2023
GI by Germs
Apr 03 2023
Blur by Blur
Apr 05 2023
Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Apr 06 2023

I am not the biggest metal fan out there, but even I couldn't help but bang my head along with these rockers! Fast-paced fun from start to finish (except for the cringing during "Jailbait").

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 11 2023
Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Apr 14 2023

Of Stevie's 5 "Golden Age" albums (Music of My Mind through Songs in the Key of Life), this is probably my least favorite, and still is a no-doubt 5 star album. Just a credit to how incredibly gifted a musician and songwriter Stevie Wonder is, and how high he flew in the 70s.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Apr 26 2023
Shadowland by k.d. lang
May 01 2023

Not a big country fan in general, so I was thoroughly surprised how much I enjoyed this album; Lang brings so much emotion to each track.

Roots by Sepultura
May 07 2023
Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
May 17 2023

Not as good as "Last Time Around" in my opinion, but still chock full of great songs.

On The Beach by Neil Young
May 20 2023

One of my favorite albums of all time. Like Tonight's the Night, On the Beach showcases Neil's disillusioned with the hippie movement he was part of, and expresses a more cynical outlook, while also becoming more introspective on tracks like Motion Pictures and Ambulance Blues. It's an all-time classic in my eyes.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 29 2023

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jun 27 2023
Chris by Christine and the Queens
Jun 29 2023

I actually enjoyed this album for the first half hour or so, but then it just wouldn't end. There must have been four or five times where I thought "this must be the last song, right?", only to find I had half a dozen or more tracks left.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Oct 03 2024

To me, this is the greatest album ever made. Incredibly ambitious both in length and variety, showcasing everything that makes Stevie Wonder a legend. This is one that I have come back to on a monthly basis (at least) for years, and I don't think I will ever get tired of it.
