Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Mar 03 2023

This is horrible. I get the sentiment and what it must have meant for its time but it's just noise on repeat. Nobody can like trains this much

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Mar 04 2023

Fun music. Good in the background. Bongo bong is tons of fun. There's enough here that I would search out this album while making tacos or chili in the future

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Mar 04 2023

Suprising to me how much I enjoyed it.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Mar 05 2023

Wow great album. My favorite so far. Good easy listening blues

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Mar 08 2023

I tried to like it but the lyrics and vocals were too much to overcome. The music was at best droning

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Mar 09 2023

Great album. A classic. No bad songs

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Mar 10 2023

Some ral great music and some duds. Wanted to love it ended up liking it.

Mar 14 2023

Great album with some great hits. Even the b side doesn't really have anything bad

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Mar 16 2023

Good stuff. Good in the background and some classics

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Mar 17 2023

Super solid. Didn't destroy my laptop which was nice.

Tical by Method Man
Mar 20 2023
Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Mar 21 2023

I can tell it's all technically proficient I just don't get jazz. Pleasant sounding though. Don't think I'd search it out again

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Mar 22 2023

Unoffensive but nothing special. Kinda meh.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Mar 24 2023

Some good stuff on here

Let It Be by The Replacements
Mar 26 2023

Nothing special. Just ok

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 31 2023

Was excited to listen when I saw a Beatles album. I had never given them much of a chance but obviously knew of their influence. This album was not good.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Apr 02 2023

Odd but some good stuff

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Apr 06 2023

Why is this on the list?

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Apr 07 2023

Probably the best jazz album on this list so far

GI by Germs
Apr 09 2023

Some of these albums must be on here for their influence and not their musical merit. This is one of those

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Apr 10 2023

Definition of a 3 star album. Some good stuff and some absolute trash

Horses by Patti Smith
Apr 11 2023
Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 22 2023
Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Apr 23 2023
Dry by PJ Harvey
Apr 25 2023
Suede by Suede

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jun 05 2023

Figured I would hate it but it thoroughly surprised me.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 06 2023

Figured I would hate it but it thoroughly surprised me.

Random noise bull. Definitely doesn't NEED to be heard by anyone. This is like modern art in music form. The illusion of something clever and artful while offering no actual substance.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jun 08 2023

This right after Throbbing Gristle feels like penance for getting Wish You Were Here the day prior. This was better than Throbbing Gristle, but not enough to get a 2 star.

Green by R.E.M.
Jun 09 2023
D by White Denim
Jun 10 2023
Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 20 2023

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Jul 31 2023

Unable to listen

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Aug 01 2023

Good live blues album. Enjoyable listen

Rapture by Anita Baker
Aug 04 2023
Smash by The Offspring
Aug 05 2023
Vespertine by Björk
Mar 19 2026

Musically, I can appreciate her skill and talent. Bjork can sing really well when she wants. I just dont know why or when I would listen to this again.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 20 2026

One of the best albums of all time. No bad tracks

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Mar 22 2026

Covers of songs you already know, but with a sitar! Why is the necessary listening?

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 02 2026

Better than I expected it to be

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 09 2026

Its Zeppelin. Its good. Not their best album but its a good one all the same

S&M by Metallica
Apr 10 2026
Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Apr 22 2026

I expected to dislike this after a few very poor albums from obscure English bands. This album was quite delightful and I will listen to it again

Kenza by Khaled
May 06 2026
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 09 2026

It was fine. Nothing stood out as particularly great but it was all listenable

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 11 2026

Couple good songs but nothing amazing

Abraxas by Santana
May 13 2026

Great album. Lots of fun

All Mod Cons by The Jam
May 20 2026

Meh. Another just ok british album that is on here for reasons unbeknownst to the listener. I'm sure it has some sort of influence I have missed, but that doesn't make it required listening. Not offensive, but not special.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jun 01 2026
Ten by Pearl Jam
Jun 16 2026
Guero by Beck
Jun 27 2026
