Popular Reviews

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson

The thing I have learned after more than 400 albums is that if an album is almost 2 hours long, chances are, half the songs can be scrapped. I don't see why we needed two hours, so in that it fails as an album. It wasn't even bad, but I kept looking at the time wishing it would be over sooner than later.

The College Dropout by Kanye West

Listening to this album again after many years hasn't changed my mind on him. Kanye is a gifted producer, mid rapper and he turned out to have a despicable personality. This album gets three stars for the beats alone.

Homework by Daft Punk

So funky, music that makes it hard to sit still while you listen.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I didn't hate the music, which is why it gets 2 instead of 1 star. The music was good, actually. Liked what I heard more than I expected. But two hours? As an album, it fails for me. It is too much for what it is.

American Idiot by Green Day

Not a fan of the genre, but there were a couple good hits. Rest of the album didn't change my opinion of the genre.

All Ratings (1089)

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Mar 01 2023

Nice beats, the rap itself is not great but better than almost every white rapper at the time.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Mar 03 2023

Nice blues inspired rock. Loud, rough, good lyrics, nice rhythm and excellent guitar play.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 07 2023

Love it, listen to it all the time!

Street Life by The Crusaders
Mar 08 2023

So good, nice and jazzy

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Mar 09 2023

Not my cup of tea at all. Was a real chore going through this album.

Mar 10 2023

Wasn't a fan of his flow but I liked the subjects and the beats were amazing. Lots of different genres which made it a joy to listen to.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Mar 11 2023

The music was nothing special but his voice and lyrics were amazing. What an artist!

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Mar 12 2023

Enjoyed it well enough, nothing special though.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Mar 13 2023

Dragged on a little but it was an interesting showcase of Indian classical music, which no one can deny was very influential in the decade later.

Mar 14 2023

A few classics but wasnt a fan of the faux southern drawl in some of the later songs. Still a very good listen

xx by The xx
Mar 15 2023

Dreamlike and very catchy, I actually enjoyed it a lot

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 16 2023

Wonderful album, one song is better than the next and every song is great. I should listen to more Billy Joel, seems he knows what he is doing.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Mar 17 2023

I love good funk and this is great funk.

Kenya by Machito
Mar 19 2023

Wonderful album, definitely going into the library

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Mar 20 2023

Eh, it was alright I guess. Nothing earth-shattering.

The Score by Fugees
Mar 21 2023

Fantastic beats with a nice blend of genres, the lyrics are awesome and Lauryn Hill elevates this album to 5 stars easily. What a singer/rapper!

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Mar 22 2023

This came as somewhat of a surprise. I only knew Cars but the other songs ive heard in one way or the other, mostly through samples. That makes it a very influential album, not just because of its early use of digital instruments. Loved it a lot.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Mar 23 2023

Psychedelic, chill and a fun listen overall.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 24 2023

Hallelujah makes this album, the rest was I enjoyed but didn't think it was amazing.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Mar 25 2023

Enjoyed this album more than I expected. Some songs dragged on a little but the guitar play makes up for that.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Mar 27 2023

I write usually write this bit the next day and I can honestly not even remember the album. This hasn't happened before. Completely forgettable.

Close To You by Carpenters
Mar 28 2023

Few good songs but so sweet it made my teeth ache.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Mar 29 2023

Better than I expected. I loved the general vibe and nodded my head more than once.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Mar 30 2023

She's Fresh, Scorpio, It's a Shame and The Message are the best songs, sadly the rest of the album doesn't hold up to this high standard. I appreciate the album for helping to make one of my favorite genres, but it hasn't aged all that well. The good songs are really solid, though.

The Man Who by Travis
Mar 31 2023

I feel like I've heard this album a dozen times already and I don't mean this in a good way. Very run-of-the-mill, nothing really stood out to me. Boring.

Risque by CHIC
Apr 01 2023

Two good songs, the rest was boring. It's a small album, though, so I didn't feel like I wasted my time.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Apr 02 2023

Lots of covers, and their original stuff didn't stick with me. It is ok, but not more than that.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Apr 03 2023

Lovely album. Slow or fast, every song is good.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 04 2023

So good, I love this band.

GI by Germs
Apr 05 2023

Only good thing I can say is that it was thankfully short. Couldn't even go through the last song when I realized it was 9 minutes long. To me it is just a barrage of noise and it doesn't really seem to end. Horrible, I never want to listen to this album again.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Apr 06 2023

They had their heart in the right place. Sadly they didn't have the raw talent to back it up.

Metallica by Metallica
Apr 08 2023

What a great song to start an album with. I never really listened to a Metallica album before, but I'm glad I did.

Night Life by Ray Price
Apr 09 2023

I hate ("modern") country music, but somehow the older stuff always clicks with me. I enjoyed this album. The subject matter is depressing, though. Every song is about alcohol enthusiasm, but I guess country music is always about how shit it all is. Would listen to it again.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Apr 10 2023

It was ok, didnt move mountains but I enjoyed listening to it.

Future Days by Can
Apr 12 2023

Never heard of this band before but really enjoyed their sound. Unbelievable that this was made in the 70s, it sound like it was made not that long ago. Good stuff.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Apr 13 2023

Beautiful.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Apr 14 2023

Quite boring, really didnt grab my attention, even though I normally like this stuff. Didn't hate it, but I have heard much better.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 15 2023

Gimme Shelter makes the album, but the rest was good to listen to too.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Apr 16 2023

Classic album, highly influential and the beats are still great.

Apr 17 2023

So edgy, a little too edgy. Didnt quite come across as believable. At least the sound was ok

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Apr 18 2023

Wonderful! I love jazz so much and this is a really good example.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 19 2023

Actually enjoyed it, altough at the end it started to slow down a little. Nice variation of pop music.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Apr 20 2023

Beautiful voices, but in a genre that is completely wasted on me. It was a struggle getting through this one.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Apr 21 2023

Good beats, but not a huge fan of the raps.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Apr 23 2023

Wasn't a huge fan, thought it was a bit boring.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Apr 24 2023

Couldnt stop moving listening to this, what a great collection of songs. The *real* King of Rock n Roll!

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Apr 26 2023

Eh, it was alright. I've heard better of him and I have heard a lot worse in general.

Vivid by Living Colour
Apr 27 2023

Better than I expected. I only knew Cult of Personality but the other songs on this album were nice too.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 28 2023

When I saw the length of the album, I rolled my eyes. And while it does feel a bit self-indulgent at times, overall it was really good. Enjoyed it quite a lot and it has an interesting message overall.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 29 2023

Really enjoyed this, good combo of very good beats, good flow and lyrics.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Apr 30 2023

Horrible album, filled with vapid pop songs. I was the right age for it at the time, but even then I hated it. Me getting older hasn't made it any better. The only reason why I won't give this album one star is because The Beat Goes On is actually a great song and I wish I knew it when I was 14.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
May 03 2023

Nothing special, but easy enough to listen to.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
May 04 2023

Somebody to Love and White Rabbit are absolute classics, of course. Sadly the rest of the album didn't grab me as much.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 07 2023
Soul Mining by The The
May 08 2023

The Sinking Feeling sounds like it was made in the early 2000s, I'm sure I have heard the same melody at the start in Drum and Bass tracks. Just has a very modern (or timeless?) feeling to it. Good stuff.

Moving Pictures by Rush
May 09 2023

Kinda went by me without making an impression. It is ok, i guess.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
May 10 2023

I grew up with this, my dad was a big fan. And you know, it rubbed off on me. Lots of good songs here with great guitar play.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 11 2023

Some really good songs on here.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 14 2023

It was fine, didn't blow me away.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
May 15 2023

My kind of music, surprised I haven't heard of it before.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
May 17 2023

Bit messy at time, especially the singer, but the music was good enough. Nothing great though.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
May 18 2023

Couple good songs but mostly forgettable.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 19 2023

This album just didn't blow me away. I'm used to better from them.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
May 20 2023

Black Hole Sun is a really good song, but for me the rest of the album didnt reach the same quality.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
May 21 2023

Pretty decent 90s electronica. Funky as hell.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
May 23 2023

Didnt expect much but actually enjoyed it a lot.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 24 2023

Didn't grab me but good background noise.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
May 25 2023

Love this kind of music

Kid A by Radiohead
May 27 2023

Sometimes a little too experimental but the album had a lot of good songs.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
May 28 2023

Honesetly hated it first. Far removed from what I like and the singing was sometimes really bad. But the heart is in the right place on this album, I feel and it somewhat grew on me when it ended. Weird one.

British Steel by Judas Priest
May 30 2023

Loud, proud and with a tight drum. As a not-fan of the genre, I loved this.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
May 31 2023

This album was a trip. From calm, beautiful tones to an absolute barrage of noise.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jun 01 2023

I love Heart-Shaped Box, it is a great song, but honestly the rest of the album wasn't as good. Bit of a dud, really.

New Forms by Roni Size
Jun 02 2023

Instant 5 stars. I love drum and bass and I love Roni Size.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 03 2023

Wholesome but not amazing.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Jun 04 2023

Bit too hipster for my taste.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 05 2023

Very 80s.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jun 06 2023

Feels very gimmicky

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 07 2023

I thought it was boring, felt like ive heard it before even though I never heard of this band.

Tago Mago by Can
Jun 08 2023

Messy, but interesting.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Jun 09 2023

Some things are best left in the 90s.

Parklife by Blur
Jun 10 2023

Fun album, but it didnt grab me.

Microshift by Hookworms
Jun 11 2023

Alright, must have been a blast to see live.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jun 13 2023

Very 80s, not always a good thing but it works great here.

My Generation by The Who
Jun 14 2023

I can see why it is such a famous album and band. Never listened to the album before, but it had a unique sound and diverse genres that somehow seemed to work together

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jun 15 2023

Quite a few songs I liked, but I really don't like the Beatles. They've made some of the most beautiful songs know, but to me, most of their songs are just boring love song fare. Still, 4 stars, because this album had more good songs than bad.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jun 16 2023

Never heard of this. Surprisingly jazzy. Weird. Good.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jun 18 2023

Surprisingly good.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Jun 19 2023

Weird experimental music that sometimes hits the marks and other times misses it completely.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Jun 20 2023

It's like being told a story, one track at a time. Very nice.

Mask by Bauhaus
Jun 21 2023

Me: "Mom, can we listen to Joy Division?" Mom: "We have Joy Division at home" Joy Division at home: Jokes aside, I didn't hate it, but a song about fish cakes was a bit too far for me.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jun 22 2023

I cheered when I saw today's album, I love Gang Starr. Wonderful beats with jazz and soul samples, chill vibes and the rapper with the best voice (RIP Guru). Undeniable classic.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jun 23 2023

What a great musician, not a bad song on the album.

Tommy by The Who
Jun 24 2023

Interesting but it did drag on a little.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 27 2023

Nothing stood out, but good background music.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Jun 28 2023

This is one of those bands I've heard of but never really listened to. The music itself didn't blow me away, but the lyrics and general message made it very interesting. Nice slice of early 90s angry politics. Very dark and angry.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jun 29 2023

It wasn't as good as I expected, knowing only Killing in the Name. Good lyrics overall, topics I sympathize with generally, but often repetitive and musically it didn't touch me. I respect it, though.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Jun 30 2023

didn't blow me away. Some good sounds here and there but it leaned too much into the sullen indie vibe than the more exciting mariachi sound.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jul 02 2023

Felt a bit generic at times, but it is still Bowie. Not-so-good Bowie is still good music.

Calenture by The Triffids
Jul 03 2023

Honestly just boring.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 04 2023

Neil Young is so good, always a pleasure to listen to one of his albums.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 05 2023

Banger after banger after banger. Even the songs that aren't that good in comparison to the hits are still fantastic. There is a lot to say about Jackson, but his musical talent is beyond reproach.

Ctrl by SZA
Jul 06 2023

"Forrest Gump had a lot goin' for him Never without pussy Y'know, Jenny almost gave it all up for him Never even pushed for the pussy Where's Forrest now when you need him?" Yeah. The music was good at least.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 08 2023

Good, but not as good as I expected. Must have been amazing when it came out, though.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Jul 09 2023

Could not get into it at all. It sounded bad at times, but I think it was done ironically. Not that it changes much for me, because it still sounds bad even if done ironically.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Jul 10 2023

This was a side of Dylan I hadnt hear before. Very dark and dirty.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jul 11 2023

Eddie plays the guitar like it is a piano. Wonderdful.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jul 12 2023

It is currently 36 degrees celsius where I'm now, and an album like this just hits differently then. Very much enjoyed it.

Atomizer by Big Black
Jul 13 2023

Best thing about the album was that it is only 37 minutes long.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Jul 14 2023

When I read "dub", I got excuted. King Tubby this isn't :(

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jul 15 2023

It was alright. Cant say much more about it.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Jul 16 2023

It was alright, but it didnt pop as it should. Felt like it tried to be James Brown but without the energy.

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 18 2023

First punk album so far I didn't hate and it got even better when it was only 30 minutes long. Loved the rhytmn and speed on this one

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Jul 19 2023

Great album, every song is good. Wish it was longer, though.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jul 20 2023

Couple good songs (the title track, really) but mostly forgettable.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 21 2023

First time i properly listened to LZ, but this was really good.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jul 22 2023

Sometimes it was just noise, but I didnt hate it.

Nixon by Lambchop
Jul 23 2023

Lost me completely when he started singing in falsetto, but got me a bit back at the end with Butcher Boy

Closer by Joy Division
Jul 24 2023

The singing isnt great, the music itself is samey, it all sounds very depressing, but for some reason it just resonates in me. Good stuff.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jul 25 2023

Easy 5 stars, I love this album so much. Super chill and it transports you to a far away place, where the sun always shines and the beaches are always beautiful.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jul 26 2023

Just boring. Not awful, mind, but I that is the most positive thing I can say about it.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jul 27 2023

Super energetic, cant stop moving listening to this.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 28 2023

Not entirely what I look for, but I can't deny that it is good.

The Doors by The Doors
Jul 29 2023

Classic album, every song is great.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jul 30 2023

Fantastic beats, the lyrics sometimes falter a little, but the whole picture is very good.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Aug 01 2023

The music is pretty good but boy does the singer's high-pitched become annoying after a while.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Aug 02 2023

This was really good. Didn't know what to expect, but good beats were definitely not on the card. Simply great.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Aug 03 2023

Something different for a change. I dont think i could listen to this music every day but it was a nice change from all the rock albums I've been getting lately.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Aug 05 2023

Dark and emotional atmosphere with a few absolute classics.

Homework by Daft Punk
Aug 07 2023

So funky, music that makes it hard to sit still while you listen.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Aug 08 2023

Helplessly Hoping alone makes this album 4 stars. What a song, it gave me goosebumps and had me stifle a tear. The rest of the album was ok, I guess, but that song elevated it.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Aug 11 2023

Didn't expect it to like it this much. Sounded raw and heavy and at other times like soul. Good stuff.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Aug 14 2023

Much better than I expected, looking at the other comments. Her voice is certainly unique but not at all annoying. Good stuff, too bad it wasn't on Spotify.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 15 2023

Nice and energetic, the singer voice was pretty made it all come together.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Aug 16 2023

All aboard the Coltrane!

1977 by Ash
Aug 17 2023

Felt like I've heard this album 5 times on this list. Doesn't make it bad, but just more of the same.

Slayed? by Slade
Aug 18 2023

Didnt do anything for me, but I also didn't outright hate it.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Aug 19 2023

My mom loves this album, so I gave it a shot. Aside from the two famous songs (Paradise and Took the Words), none really did anything for me. So yeah, sorry mom, I can't see it.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Aug 20 2023

Couple really good songs on this one. Lyrically theyre all amazing, but some fail musically.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Aug 21 2023

What I love about Hancock is that he saw the advent of synthesizers and instead of being a purist about jazz, he recognized its worth and made it work.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 22 2023

Bridge Over Troubled Water is a classic for good reason, but I couldn't get into most of the rest of the album. It certainly wasn't bad, just not entirely my thing.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Aug 23 2023

I like "Scoobie Snacks" a lot, the rest of the album is a bit less... it is not grating, thankfully, so not an entirely bad listen.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Aug 24 2023

Better than I expected. Simply a fun album.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Aug 25 2023

Lots of different vibes on this album. Normally not a huge fan of this kind of music, but it hit well today.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Aug 26 2023

Actually pretty good, still, after all these years and many new ways artists have found to make electronic music.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Aug 27 2023

It is af he tried to figure out his genre for himself, while having the talent to back up such a project. Fun album!

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Aug 28 2023

Good album, really worth it to listen on headphones.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Aug 29 2023

Couple really good songs, and more songs that didnt really move me at all.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Aug 30 2023

Pretty good, do wonder if the faux accent was necessary, but different times, I guess.

Aug 31 2023

This was definitely one of the albums of all time! But seriously, it is obvious that the person who made this album has a taste (as is his right!) except it not entirely my taste at time. To me this sounded a bit too familiar without it moving me. Not bad, but boring.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Sep 05 2023

Must've been a trip when this first came out.

Quiet Life by Japan
Sep 06 2023

Guess this is where Duran Duran got its inspiration from. Sadly, aside from the title song, none of the songs really stood out to me. Nice history lesson, though.

Sep 07 2023

Wow, makes me want to watch the movie.

Sep 08 2023

I'm not going as far as saying he thinks his character is in the right for shooting his unfaithful partner, but two songs about it? Leaves a bit of nasty taste in the mouth, because writing a nice song about it does romanticize the sentiment, if even a little. Also a moneylender named Saul? Pfff. Musically I didn't mind this album, which is rare for country, but it is clear that I just don't understand the genre.

Sep 09 2023

"I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue I needed somebody to talk to So I called up the operator of time Just to hear a voice of some kind When you hear the beep It will be three o'clock She said that for over an hour And I hung up" This made me laugh. Wonderful album and it is easy to forgot that Dylan performed it all by himself.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Sep 10 2023

Lots of classics and a showcase of few different genres from the 90s

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Sep 11 2023

Eh, it wasn't bad, but I both loved and hated her style of singing.

American Idiot by Green Day
Sep 12 2023

Not a fan of the genre, but there were a couple good hits. Rest of the album didn't change my opinion of the genre.

Harvest by Neil Young
Sep 14 2023

Very poetic.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Sep 15 2023

Monday Monday and California Dreaming are rightful classics, but looking at the album as a whole, none of the other songs come close. I would even go as far as calling them boring.

White Light by Gene Clark
Sep 18 2023

Yeah, bit boring, innit?

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Sep 21 2023

It is not that I think it is bad, but I find it all very forgettable. The way I see the Beatles, and McCartney by extension, is that theyve written some of the most beautiful pop music ever, but it is surrounded by some of the most boring schlock. Sadly, this album was mostly the latter. (As a side note, I'm happy this site does not have a comment section, because I'm sure these are fighting words for some)

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Sep 22 2023

What a trip. One thing Ive learned from this list is that Zappa is really good.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Sep 23 2023

Had to keep reminding myself that this is live. Must have been a special experience.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Sep 24 2023

Bit to sweet for my liking, but very well produced and accompanied by a beautiful voice.

Debut by Björk
Sep 25 2023

Wow, what a nice, quirky album. Iconic voice, different genres and a singer with a vision.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Sep 26 2023

I just really like Joy Division. It's the atmosphere, the rhythms, the sound of the instruments. It all just comes together for me even though I generally do not care much about the genre.

Blur by Blur
Sep 27 2023

I love Song Number 2. Honestly the only song of theirs that I know, so I was very exciting to finally hear the album it was from. I'm writing this review the next day and I honestly struggle to remember any of the other songs. They all blur (heh) together. Nothing else stands out or is even remotely memorable. One song doesn't make an album, but it does save it from a 1 star rating.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Sep 28 2023

Nice beats, and while often vulgar, Missy had something to say.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Sep 29 2023

Unfair, because this is an album I listened to for months whenever I was on the train to school. Happy to report it still holds up after all these years, but that might just be nostalgia and memories talking. Who cares if it does, though?

Rio by Duran Duran
Sep 30 2023

It was alright. Not much to say.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Oct 01 2023

Shouldve been called "The Afghan Whines" instead. Man, I can only take so much moaning about everything.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Oct 02 2023

Nice pop edm from the 90s.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Oct 03 2023

Short and sweet with a couple really good songs on it ("This Fire" being a standout for me). Wonderful, better than I expected.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Oct 04 2023

Raw, broken, and dirty. That's how I'd describe this album. Interesting too. Unique. Not sure if I really enjoyed it, though, but maybe I'm not supposed to?

Oct 06 2023

Boring. Unremarkable. Ive heard similar things too many times on this list.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Oct 07 2023

Other than a few hits, I haven't listened to a lot of TH, but this album showed me that this was a mistake. Love the lyrics, Byrne's voice, style and the unique-sounding music.

Oct 08 2023

I know it is good, just not for me. As usual with a Beatles album, one song is really good, the rest are just so-so. I just don't see the magic.

Dare! by The Human League
Oct 09 2023

Very 80s, but in a good way.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Oct 10 2023

It was nice, just didnt blow me away. At times a bit boring, even. Nice background music, but listening to it made me look for other stuff to do.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Oct 11 2023

Same ol same ol.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Oct 12 2023

Ethereal, pretty, but also a bit vague. Good listen, but didnt blow me away and none of the songs stood out.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Oct 13 2023

Lots of different style made for an enjoyable album

Blackstar by David Bowie
Oct 14 2023

Ive hear better of him, but the album deserves to be on the list since it is the last one of a legendary artist.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Oct 16 2023

What a weird album. Not a huge fan of his flow, but some songs really came in hard. You know, think I'm deciding it wasn't half bad, despite the poo poo pee pee humor.

Hotel California by Eagles
Oct 17 2023

Only really familiar with the title song before listening to the album. Enjoyed it a lot. It did get a little less good at the end, but not enough to ruin it.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Oct 19 2023

Goddamn, powerful, straight-to-you-face album. Fantastic beats, fantastic lyrics. Love it!

Bad Company by Bad Company
Oct 20 2023

Short and boring, quite impressive actually.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Oct 21 2023

Great stuff

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 23 2023

Next day and I barely remember it.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 24 2023

Good, but went on too long. At the end I was really done with it, could've dine with a little cutting.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Oct 25 2023

Something different at least.

Pornography by The Cure
Oct 26 2023

I liked the music, but Robert Smith singing style is too whiny.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Oct 27 2023

I like his loud, cool and raw style. The album is also not too long, so it doesn't outstay its welcome. Pretty good!

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Oct 28 2023

Idk, sometimes you just like it.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Oct 29 2023

Wow! Went in with no expectations, enjoyed every minute of it. Just super chill jazz piano.

Protection by Massive Attack
Oct 30 2023

Massive Attack always has a special place in my heart. Extremely cool, chill triphop.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Oct 31 2023

Just an awesome album, takes big balls to start your album with a song from the pov of a stalker.

Nov 01 2023

This is a tough one. One the surface, it is kinda crap. The beats are great, don't get me wrong, but the raps especially just feel off. But as a whole, it just drives the theme down of a normal bloke who is a bit of a loser, who lost his girlfriend and is going through it. From that context it all comes together for me. Idk, always had a special place in my heart for the Streets.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Nov 02 2023

Couple bangers, couple songs that kinda missed the mark but not awful. Enjoyed overall.

Nov 04 2023

What a joy to listen. This band is just legendary. Unique sound, great singer, great musicians and they have a lot of fun. Not many bands are like this.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Nov 05 2023

Very good voice, very good songs. Loved it.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Nov 06 2023

Boring schlock. Nothing interesting to say about it, other than Heatwave being fine.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Nov 07 2023

Raw, honest and unfortunately still very relevant.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Nov 08 2023

Smooth album, although I didn't feel the need to masturbate to it.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Nov 09 2023

Very chill, although samey. Not that it hurt it, though.

B-52's by The B-52's
Nov 10 2023

I was skeptical at first, but it turned out to be a very funny and fun album.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Nov 13 2023

As I'm laying sick in my bed, this was a comfortable distraction. Only real issue I have is that it is too long, got a bit bored of it near the end and it cost it the 5* rating.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 14 2023

Can't muster up the enthusiasm that others seem to have with this album, but it was a good listen nonetheless.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Nov 15 2023

Banger after banger after banger. This album, and band, was the soundtrack from my pre-puberty till early adulthood and I am glad it aged like a fine wine.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Nov 16 2023

Not a word said, and I made a 1000 stories up in my head. Just a super chill album.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Nov 17 2023

Of course already familiar with this singer, 7 Seconds being such a big hit and all, it was nice to hear some of his early work. And especially nice to hear this type of traditional music with a heavy 80s synth vibe to it. Very enjoyable!

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Nov 18 2023

Obvious passion project, but I thought it went on a little too long. Hope to see the other albums on this list, though.

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 21 2023

Enjoyed it, at least.

The Clash by The Clash
Nov 22 2023

Normally not a fan of punk but this hit different. Bri'ish guy shouting over noise.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Nov 23 2023

I get what they're going for and they are doing it very well. Shame that what they were going for is making an anthem for the edgy, anti-social, unkempt guy whose main goal in life is driving his shitty beater and being a menace to his small town. It's not even that the music is bad, it is actually pretty good most of the time. It is hard and dirty, sometimes with other genres mixed in. And Wait and Bleed is still a banger. The big issue is just that the subject matter feels so juvenile, it makes it hard to take it seriously, even though it feels like Slipknot takes itself *very* seriously.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Nov 24 2023

Right amount of jazzy, right amount of blues but ultimately felt like it took a little too long. What a voice, though.

Nov 26 2023

Some say repetitive, I say it is hypnotic. The beats are good enough that they don't get boring despite repetition, accompanied by a powerful message. Just don't expect te learn anything new, empowerment and pride seems to be the goal here. If you want more out if it, it probably isnt meant for you and that is fine. As an aside, this is why I listen to a new album every day. I find stuff I wouldn't have discovered otherwise and it is amazing.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Nov 30 2023

It was alright, got a but boring after a while. Duran Duran lite is a good description indeed.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Dec 01 2023

All I wanna do is have some fun, but sadly this album wasn't that fun to me. Obvious talent, great voice but not for me. Did Coldplay steal from Crow, btw?

Ten by Pearl Jam
Dec 03 2023

Couple really good songs here and overall high quality. J

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Dec 07 2023

couple really good songs on this one. Always nice from a band you've never heard before.

Dec 08 2023

Hard time remembering anything about the album a day later, but I didnt hate it. Wish there was a 2.5 option.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Dec 09 2023

Bit of a downer, but in an excellent way.

Sea Change by Beck
Dec 10 2023

It was good, just not very memorable.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Dec 11 2023

Nothing special, nothing band.

Disintegration by The Cure
Dec 12 2023

Im sure it is good, but it just feels like an hour long moaning session. I'm not getting anything else out of it.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Dec 14 2023

So much energy and fun from beginning to end.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Dec 15 2023

Smooth sounds, not what I expected.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Dec 16 2023

When this album popped up I felt a little despair. A genre I don't care for, edgy name and edgy album art. Fortunately I was pleasently surprised and once again reminded why I do this every day. Get out of my comfort zone, hear something I normally wouldn't and find out that it is pretty good.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Dec 17 2023

Expected to hate it, never listened to a Swift song before (not that I could recognize, anyway). She makes the type of music I normally try to skip. But this was far better than I expected. I can see why she is so popular, because if I liked her genre, I'd be all over it. Best song was 'no body, no crime', its conclusion made me laugh

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Dec 18 2023

Great from beginning to end.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Dec 20 2023

TRANS-EUROPE EXPRESS. Always nice to hear the humble beginnings of electronic music. Yeah, it is a little samey, but who care? What's there is solid.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Dec 21 2023

Good sounds throughout.

Cross by Justice
Dec 25 2023

Very pleasant surprise. Wish I found this much sooner.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 27 2023

Always super chill

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Dec 28 2023

Bleh, I find him whiny.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Dec 30 2023

What a voice. I forgot it was live a couple times.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Dec 31 2023

Was alright.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 02 2024

Alright

Lost Souls by Doves
Jan 03 2024

Sounded good, but it got a bit samey after a while. Think it would've been better if it was a half hour album.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Jan 04 2024

Blegh, better than other similar albums I've heard but not by much. Just a lot of noise, can't get used to it.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jan 05 2024

It was ok, couldn't get into it.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jan 06 2024

Two good songs, the rest was quite boring.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 07 2024

Two songs were good, the rest I don't even remember.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Jan 08 2024

Just fine.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jan 09 2024

Bossa Nova is my happy place.

Repeater by Fugazi
Jan 10 2024

Forgettable

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jan 11 2024

Fun to see where Belinda Carlisle cut her teeth. Never heard of this band before, enjoyed it nonetheless. Good tempo, nice and short so it doesn't outstay its welcome, which is a quality I've come to appreciate since starting this list.

The White Album by Beatles
Jan 13 2024

Couple really good songs, quite a few that shouldve been cut if it were up to me. 1h30m is too much when half the songs are just ok.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Jan 14 2024

Good, but too long. I do not need 15 minute 'ok' songs in my life. Shame, because i really liked what heard, it just draggsd on and on.

Leftism by Leftfield
Jan 17 2024

Bit slow, too long, but not too bad.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jan 19 2024

God, this took way too long, especially given how boring it was.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 20 2024

I found it very dream-like, like Nick Drake took me on a trip.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jan 22 2024

I don't give a 1 star often (this album is my third after 300+ albums), because I can usually find something redeemable, but this album was just a pain. The singing/screaming is often incomprehensible, it is a lot of harsh noise and the worst sin of all (which knocked it down from 2 to 1 stars) is that it is 1h20 minutes long. You have to come with something really special for me to want to spend ~1/24th of my day listening to you and this is very far from that. Couldn't even finish it (first time that happened!!!) once I realized I barely made it half way, This is too self-indulgent.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jan 24 2024

I expected more from them, at least they got better as time went on. But damn, this was a hard album to get through. Completely mediocre, could've been written by a dozen other bands. Blegh.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jan 26 2024

I listened to the abridged version. I dont think I could handle 3 hours of any album, no matter how good. That said, beautiful voice, great songs with some of them a bit too slow at times. Loved it, though.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 29 2024

Classic through and through. Fantastic beats with some of the best rappers in their prime. It is raw, creative and in your face.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jan 30 2024

What a voice!

Hms Fable by Shack
Jan 31 2024

Completely forgettable. Not bad, mind, but I see no reason why it is on this list.

Dummy by Portishead
Feb 01 2024

Chill album, wonderful to sit back and close your eyes.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Feb 02 2024

2h34 minutes? Gtfo. This album was not nearly good enough to justify it, soured me on the whole experience.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Feb 03 2024

What I'd expect from Swift. Very well done, obviously high quality both in music and lyrics. Just definitely not for me.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Feb 04 2024

Im sure it is good if you're a country fan, but I rarely see the appeal.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 06 2024

Love to get an album where every song is great.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Feb 08 2024

Requim was pretty good, rest of the album just passed me by,

Fragile by Yes
Feb 10 2024

Hard to to do better when you start with such a great first song. Everything else was good, but never hit the quality of Roundabout.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Feb 12 2024

Enjoyed it more than I expected. Love the grandiose story-telling.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Feb 13 2024

I always say the same when Ive listened to a Beatles album, but it is the same here. A couple really good songs with a majority of forgettable songs. I don't hate them, but I also don't see the hype. Guess I'll just have to stick to a Greatest Hits collection.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Feb 14 2024

I didn't hate the music, which is why it gets 2 instead of 1 star. The music was good, actually. Liked what I heard more than I expected. But two hours? As an album, it fails for me. It is too much for what it is.

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 16 2024

Blegh.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Feb 18 2024

Honestly fine, didn't blow me away. Felt like I had already heard it throughout this album-a-day journey.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 19 2024

I enjoyed this album more than I expected. Just clean, simple fun.

Smash by The Offspring
Feb 20 2024

Normally I can't this kind of music but this album is just great.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Feb 21 2024

Was chill enough, just couldnt get into it. Album was only half an hour and halfway in I was looking at the time.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Feb 23 2024

One of those albums where I thought I would hate it. The melodies and guitar play brought me over.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 24 2024

I grew up listening to Bob Marley, I still listen to him regularly (should be more often) and I hope when I'm old and gray, I still listen to him. The lyrics of his political songs still work today, it is universal.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 25 2024

I like the original a lot, so it was a surprise to see there was a prog rock version. And it was actually good, it was a nice cover with the same feeling as the original while giving its own spin. Point docked for the singing, though. Did not add anything.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 26 2024

It was nice, not much to say about it. Middle-of-the-road.

Feb 27 2024

I went in hating this album. 2 hours! Are they insane?? It is too much! But hey, I loved Stankonia back in the day and I like Outkast in general, so I kept on going. I am glad I did. The first disc dragged me right in, but near the end I was wondering how far I'd get on the second disc. Well, let me tell you, dear reader, I did not stop nodding my head the entirety of disc 2. Engrossed, is the word. So yeah, long ass album but worth it to me. Which is a rarity.

Feb 28 2024

Otis Redding doing classic covers. An album full of cover would normally not do it for me, but this was so good.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Feb 29 2024

Wasnt blown away by the album, but it is Black Sabbath. A bad song of theirs is still good.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Mar 01 2024

Bit too slow for my taste (at the start I was checking if Spotify somehow had a feature that slows down the bpm) but undeniably good.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Mar 02 2024

Getting tired of all seeing every Beatles member's side project on this list. It's not bad, but it is not that good either.

Django Django by Django Django
Mar 03 2024

Refreshing, and hey! That's that song from GTA.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Mar 04 2024

Couldn't really get into it, sounded quite samey very quickly. La Grange was a good song, though.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Mar 05 2024

There are other albums that deserve a place on this list. I'm ok with Deep Purple, but this album is too long and has songs that another album on this very list has too. It is already hard to make a case for live albums on this list and the only thing I know for sure is that this isn't it.

Mar 07 2024

I did not understand a lot of it (probably because I'm ESL) but you can't deny the wonderful flow of Irish. Great stuff.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 08 2024

Nothing special, not bad either.

The White Room by The KLF
Mar 10 2024

Nice old school electronica. Brought me back to the early 90s.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Mar 11 2024

The first two songs, I was into it. But the longer it went on, the more I realized I was listening to a cheap imitation of the genre. The drums were messy, the singing flat. The guitarplay is all that is really good, but I feel like it mostly hides how bad everything else is. Weird album.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Mar 14 2024

Where Is My Mind is the best part of this album. The rest was ok, not great.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Mar 15 2024

It is very gimmicky. Not bad, but "famous songs played with sitar" gets old before the album is done.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 16 2024

Legendary album, definitely deserves its place on this list.

Doolittle by Pixies
Mar 17 2024

It was good, second Pixie album of the week, though.

Eagles by Eagles
Mar 18 2024

"Take it is easy" made the album for me, sadly the rest of it never hit that quality. Still enjoyed it throughout.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 19 2024

Stuff I would have never listened to otherwise, but is very interesting and good.

Signing Off by UB40
Mar 20 2024

I came in expecting comfortable pop tunes like Red Red Wine, instead I was treated with fantastic dub music. What a pleasant surprise!

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Mar 21 2024

Im very unfamiliar with Morrissey sn what he said or did. All i really have to go by is his work, and idk, I just find it so whiney. That's the general feeling I get from it.

Low-Life by New Order
Mar 22 2024

Normally I like New Order - and maybe it was the wrong day for it- but I found it absolutely boring.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Mar 23 2024

Blue Orchid was great, everything else less so. Bit boring overall.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Mar 25 2024

Generic British rock album #2489

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 26 2024

Great from start to finish.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Mar 27 2024

A nice history lesson, shame it is a little too long.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Apr 01 2024

Went on a little too long for my taste but I liked it.

1984 by Van Halen
Apr 02 2024

Such a fun, energetic album

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Apr 03 2024

My dad used to watch the dvd of this concert all the time, but I never got into it. Sitting down and listening made no difference.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Apr 05 2024

You ever have an album that just doesn't register? You hear it, but it just becomes backgrouns noise. It's not bad, it's not offensive. It's just there, making no impact whatsover. This is that album for me.

25 by Adele
Apr 06 2024

Definitely not for me, but what a great voice. I can't deny that.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Apr 07 2024

Didn't hate it, love her lyrics and voice. But damn, it was boring. It just didnt come together for me.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Apr 08 2024

Hueuueheueheueheuhe is the only thing I heard after a while.

More Specials by The Specials
Apr 09 2024

It's decent ska, but I've heard so much better. I love reggae and all its subgenres it's just that this album just didn't hit me like this genre often does. It meandered on without really taking it anywhere. Whenever it bent to another genre, it fell flat.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Apr 10 2024

Oh man, I wanted to give this album 5*, because the good songs (Do It Again, Only a Fool, Reelin' in the Years) are excellent. The rest just fell short for me and sadly dragged the album down. Shame, was looking forward to this one.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Apr 11 2024

2 great songs, the rest was decidely blegh.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Apr 12 2024

It was alright, nothing exciting. Rather see him with Crosby, Nash and Young.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 14 2024

Was alright, nothing special

Is This It by The Strokes
Apr 15 2024

I feel like ive heard this album before on this list. I get that a lot of people like it, but it is just so... bland. Like so many rock albums, it is loud, abrasive and at times politically engaged. There's nothing unique and exciting about it. I'm not saying I hated it (and it was mercifully short), it's just that this scene completely passed me by in 2001 and I do not have the fuzzy nostalgic feelings that could make it a classic in my eyes.

Arrival by ABBA
Apr 16 2024

Heard it so much in my youth, can't stand it now.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Apr 17 2024

It sits between too silly and damn good.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Apr 18 2024

Horrible, atonal noise. Not my thing at all

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 20 2024

Every song a banger.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Apr 21 2024

I love Lone Wolf and Cub (although the samples are from an American recut called Shogun Assassin) and I love Wu-Tang, so this was just great from start to finish. Mid 90s hiphop beats just hit different.

Arular by M.I.A.
Apr 22 2024

I remember when it came out that it had such a fresh, unique sound. Still holds up after all these years.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Apr 23 2024

I wanted to give 2 stars for including eminem before he got really big. But "smack-selling" what? Minus one. God, this is worse than normal country.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Apr 25 2024

Simply boring. Not horrible, though.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Apr 26 2024

Couldnt stop tapping my foot from start to finish.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Apr 28 2024

Bit boring, but +1 star because I recognized a song from GTA4 and nostalgia is powerful.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Apr 30 2024

A lot of noise, but I get what they were going for. Unfortunately it was mostly annoying to me.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
May 01 2024

The thing I have learned after more than 400 albums is that if an album is almost 2 hours long, chances are, half the songs can be scrapped. I don't see why we needed two hours, so in that it fails as an album. It wasn't even bad, but I kept looking at the time wishing it would be over sooner than later.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
May 02 2024

Glad it was only 20 minutes long.

The Slider by T. Rex
May 03 2024

It was fine, didn't blow me away.

May 04 2024

Great beats, sometimes a little preachy. Wanted to give it 5 stars because I was nodding my head constantly. But then after the album, Spotify gave me a Brand Nubian song and I was reminded there is better in this style. Still a very good album, just not entirely there.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
May 05 2024

It was fine. No big surprises, nothing standing out. Just a very 80s album that came out in the 90s.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
May 07 2024

Too long, not interesting. I expected better from Beyonce, like her when she was in Destiny's Child.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
May 08 2024

Petty good, made me feel like I was watching an old talk show at times.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
May 10 2024

I couldve done without his singing, but I nodded my gead throughout. He did sonething right.

Elastica by Elastica
May 11 2024

It was ok, nothing special, not much to say.

American Gothic by David Ackles
May 12 2024

Somehow reminded me of a chanson.

Raw Power by The Stooges
May 13 2024

This album sounds like 10-20 other albums ive heard on this list. Very basic, nothing sprung out.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
May 15 2024

This was boring amd at times bad. No need for it to be on this lost, no matter what his credentials are.

May 17 2024

Tainted Love great, everything else is not. Didn't hate it and didn't want to throw it away, but it was very boring. Mostly just passed me by.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
May 18 2024

Amazing voice, my day instantly started great when I found out that this was today's album.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
May 21 2024

Weird album, but I couldn't get into it. Some songs are great, it's just that the complete picture is a complete mess.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
May 22 2024

It felt more modern (early 90s) than I'd expect from a 1986 album, so I got to give them credit for that. Sadly this style is mostly wasted on me.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
May 23 2024

Started really good, first song is wonderful. Then it turned into what I can only describe as city center hotel lobby vibes.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 24 2024

I was excited for this one, because I love Massive Attack and hadn't heard this album yet. Sadly I think their later work is better, but I enjoyed it a lot. Smooth triphop, can't really go wrong there.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
May 26 2024

Interesting music, never really knew that NIN was this electronic. Just wish it wasn't all woe is me, though.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
May 27 2024

Hard to understand as ESL, but very charming nonetheless.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
May 28 2024

Nice guitarplay, reminded me of the dwarf fortress soundtrack.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
May 29 2024

Mom, I really want that Prince album! We have a Prince album at home. The Prince album at home:

Achtung Baby by U2
May 30 2024

Grew up with these era of U2, but I found this album pretty forgettable. Still decent, though.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jun 01 2024

Very good, very smooth.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jun 02 2024

Boring, that's all I have to say about it. I expected some nice cowboy tunes, but instead got run-of-the-mill prog rock. Nothing awful, mind. Just unremarkable.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Jun 03 2024

Quirky. Took me a few songs to get into it, but I somewhat liked what he was cooking here.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Jun 04 2024

I listened to it the day before and it is so unremarkable, I can't think of anything to say.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jun 07 2024

This was fun. Idk where I recognize the first song from, but what a way to start an album. I was happy that it kept that energy and that it was short but good. No complaints.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 09 2024

Classic. After his excellent (and more radio-friendly) album Infinite failed commercially, Eminem decided to embrace his unhinged alter ego. Yes, the lyrics are crass and disgusting, but it is also clear that Slim Shady is an awful persona. See Role Model. Eminem begs you to not take it seriously. The absurdity of the violence and insanity pushes the album into dark humor and I can't help but laugh at the clever turns of phrases. Excellent stuff.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jun 10 2024

One of those albums where you wonder why it is on the list.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jun 12 2024

Great beats but I cant stand Jay-Z's voice and flow. He's not awful, just not for me.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 13 2024

First time listening to My Bloody Valentine and I hope it's my last.

Jun 14 2024

What a great album for many different reason. A nice mix of genres, great funk short but powerful and not one wasted moment. Love it!

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jun 15 2024

One of those albums I remember little about the next day. Made almost no impression.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jun 16 2024

I'm of the opinion that any album longer than an hour usually has songs that could easily be cut and it would improve the album. Yes, every song on this album is between good and great, but even good and great songs lose their lustre when they go on too long. Now imagine a single album with only the best songs, it would've been so tight. Now it just meanders on at points, it is a shame.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jun 17 2024

So many non-English language albums in the world, so few on this list. And what do we get? A weird pedo story. No thanks.

The Band by The Band
Jun 18 2024

Very americana.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jun 19 2024

I get that Thom Yorke has his own style, but man, I'm getting bored of it. The whole album just washed over me, it felt like one long whine.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jun 20 2024

Great guitarplay, lovely album. Not more to be said.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jun 21 2024

Femi Kuti is so good, I could listen to his music for hours.

Jun 22 2024

Couple really good songs on here, but near the end it got boring. Shame.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jun 23 2024

It sounds good, but it also misses something. Feels very much like a copy of something.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jun 24 2024

Made it halfway before I had enough. Not nearly interesting enough for an hour and a half, let alone almost three!

Jun 25 2024

What a trip. For some reason I always ignored Ice-T's work, and I really shouldn't have. Intelligent lyrics, variety in beats and wonderfully politically engaged. Loved Midnight in particular.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jun 26 2024

I couldn't finish this album, which is rare. I always try to give the albums on this list a proper listen. Her style of singing, however, annoyed me to no end. It's too similar, and while technically good, it feels too insincere. I don't know if the latter is actually true, but that's how it came across I couldnt get through with it and all this supposed homage to the classics evoked in me was the feeling to shut this shit off and listen to the actual classics this album was dedicated to.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jun 27 2024

This is amazing. M.I.A herself is good enough but what really shines on this album is the great production. These beats are so good, excellent stuff!

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Jun 29 2024

Today I learned that I do not like Tori Amos. I like her lyrics, they're very poetic. Sadly it wasn't enough to save her performance.

Spiderland by Slint
Jun 30 2024

One of those albums that is entirely unremarkable. No hate, no love, not even a memory of it a day later.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jul 01 2024

Typical 3 star fare. Wasnt great, wasn't awful and it was good at times. Nothing special, though.

The Specials by The Specials
Jul 02 2024

Is it special? No. Sounded good, though, but it sometimes it missed the mark.

Fun House by The Stooges
Jul 03 2024

Bit loud but good.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Jul 05 2024

I liked the sound, just thought it was nothing special. Joan of Arc are the two exceptions.

One World by John Martyn
Jul 06 2024

First song was pretty good, I was excited to hear more. And then it all fell down.

Be by Common
Jul 07 2024

Great album, fantastic beats. I forgot how much I love Common.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jul 10 2024

Forgettable

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jul 11 2024

I expected to hate it but I was pleasantly surprised.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jul 12 2024

Excellent. I'm probably biased because I love reggae and it's 30 degrees celsius where I am now, so the album sounded even better. Now to track down the original release.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jul 13 2024

Groove is in the Heart is such a banger, sadly the rest of the album does not come close.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jul 15 2024

Weird album, I get what Newman is trying to do here but (in 2024 at least) it is missing its mark. Too crude, the point often hammered down. Maybe it was necessary when it came out.

Skylarking by XTC
Jul 16 2024

I wanted to listen to anything but this. Just felt too much like other, better artists.

Jul 17 2024

Coldplay is best when you don't pay much attention to it. Nice background tunes while you focus on something else. Not the most ringing endorsement, but it is comfortable. Nothing deep, nothing difficult. Like a piece of gum.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jul 19 2024

Really nothing to say about it. It was boring.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jul 20 2024

This album hasn't convinced me into loving this genre, but I was on board for the duration.

Moon Safari by Air
Jul 21 2024

One of those albums that I've apparently listened to 100s of times because it was on rotation at a previous job. So yeah, this is hotel reception music.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 22 2024

It is an Elvis Costello album.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jul 23 2024

This album washed over me. Generic sounding rock music. I can't think of anything else to say about it.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jul 24 2024

Deeper Understand and This Woman's Work are great. Loved the imagery. The other songs didn't hit as hard, but I still enjoyed it overall.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jul 25 2024

Troubadour 60s folk with sitar. You'd think it'd be unique, but this is not the first album I've heard like it on this list. The 60s were something else.

Destroyer by KISS
Jul 26 2024

This was bad, glad it was over with quickly.

Third by Soft Machine
Jul 28 2024

The first song was just annoying. As if it was designed specifically to irritate me. The rest was a little better, but not enough (not even close) to win me over.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 29 2024

This is the secon time in a week that I get Costello, and it really makes him worse.

I See You by The xx
Jul 30 2024

Nothing special, didnt hate it, didn't enjoy it much either.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jul 31 2024

Wonderfully weird. I couldn't always follow what she was on about, but I liked the music, I liked her weird singing. Idk what else to say.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Aug 01 2024

I like his lyrics, they evoke an image that hits home with me. Sadly the music was a bit too simple and instead of turning it into an intimate whole, it felt bare-bones instead. That's what makes it a difficult album for me. I like Cohen's voice, I like the lyrics on this album but as a whole I didnt feel as much raw emotion as I shouldve. That puts it in the middle-of-the-road category.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 02 2024

I just don't get the appeal. I can tell a lot of care and talent is put in this album, a lot of emotion too, yet it leaves me completely unfazed and it quickly turned into background noise. It does not grab me.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Aug 03 2024

Fast Car is a classic, don't think that can ever be taken away. Sadly the rest of the album isn't as good, but it came close enough.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Aug 04 2024

As far as country goes, it was alright. Nothing special, though.

Green by R.E.M.
Aug 05 2024

Turn You Inside Out is awesome, the rest was boring.

D by White Denim
Aug 06 2024

I saw all the 5s and got excited. What a letdown. Love the music, but couldn't stand the singer's voice.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Aug 07 2024

Music from a bygone era retreaded. Its fine, but definitely nothing new and exciting.

Aug 08 2024

What am I missing? I had to keep reminding myself that this was not the Beatles.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Aug 10 2024

Listening to this album again after many years hasn't changed my mind on him. Kanye is a gifted producer, mid rapper and he turned out to have a despicable personality. This album gets three stars for the beats alone.

Aug 11 2024

What a great album, only half an hour and most of the songs are classics.

Third by Portishead
Aug 12 2024

Very unique sounding album, We Carry On was amazing.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Aug 13 2024

Amazing music, notes go in directions where they shouldn't work, yet they do.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Aug 14 2024

I like drums. This album has a lot of drums.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Aug 15 2024

Interesting album, albeitb abit meandering. Loved the last track, though.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Aug 18 2024

Typical Waits album. Raw voice, raw lyrics and raw music. I'm here for it.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Aug 19 2024

Nothing special punk and 2h15m of it. Lol. Lmao even.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Aug 20 2024

Uneventful, forgettable, in fact, I can barely remember it a day later.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Aug 21 2024

Fun pop rock album, nothing more to say about it.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Aug 22 2024

Yay another Smiths album and Morrisey's whining singing. This is getting so old.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Aug 24 2024

I hate country, I like Dolly Parton as a person and I like the music she makes (despite being country). Fun stuff.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Aug 28 2024

Fun lyrics, but I didnt care much for the music. It was alright.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Aug 29 2024

Waits has such a distinct style and it is growing on me. Some albums are more of a miss, but this one is definitely a hit.

Pump by Aerosmith
Aug 30 2024

Idk what it says about me when I didnt think it was outrageously horny. Like the music, always had a soft spot for Aerosmith.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Sep 03 2024

But boring at times, great at others. Really a middle-of-the-road album.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Sep 04 2024

Master of rhytmn, this goes so hard. My only complaint is that it makes me want to learn french.

Sep 05 2024

Intimate rendition of some of their biggest songs and somehow making it the better version. Wonderful.

Medúlla by Björk
Sep 06 2024

I figured I would hate this, but I love what she did here. It's a unique experience, an album that's mostly acapella but if you stop listening to it intensely, it sounds like normal music. That's an achievement.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Sep 07 2024

I can't believe some of his biggest hits were made in his early teens. Massive talent.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Sep 08 2024

Absolutely nothing special, but not bad at all either. Good background noise.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Sep 09 2024

Boring and messy.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Sep 10 2024

Awesome album, but not reaching the greatness that the name recognition suggests it should.

Sep 11 2024

This is crap. If this is all you knew about Lennon you'd think he was an awful singer who thinks too highly of himself.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Sep 12 2024

Ive heard so many variations of this on this list, but it all sounds the same. It's getting boring.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Sep 13 2024

Was fine, did fall asleep while listening but I was very tired and I dont think it is fair to blame Bob for that.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Sep 14 2024

Interesting classical Indian music but I didnt care much for it.

Sep 15 2024

Awesome beats, especially if you consider how it was made. In 2024 this would be much easier to make, but back then he had to cut and paste it all using a sampler, which is a PITA to work with. Impressive albeit a little repetitive.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Sep 16 2024

Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather. Or the… Ah, I don’t know, that thing. That magic. You see it in the movies. I wanted to retire. From what I was doing, you know? From that, that… line of work. Be a good guy for once, a family man. So, I bought a big house. Came here, put my feet up, and thought I’d be a dad like all the other dads. My kids, would be like the kids on TV. We could play ball and sit in the sun. But well, you know how it is. Anyway, first song slapped, went downhill from there.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Sep 17 2024

The first and last song are the best, really great. Rest was ok.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 18 2024

I don't really get Nick Cave.

American Pie by Don McLean
Sep 19 2024

First song is a banger, the rest is decidely "eh"

The Next Day by David Bowie
Sep 20 2024

It is fine, definitely not his best work.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Sep 21 2024

Classic. The lyricism is incredible, the flow is impeccable, the beats are fantastic.

Sep 24 2024

I like Dylan, but this was a weak album. I started getting into it up when Don't Think Twice, It's Allright started playing, only to realize the album was finished and Spotify served me something else.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Sep 25 2024

Very basic, thankfully it was less than 30 minutes long.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Sep 26 2024

Didnt finish it. An hour too long and it is mostly experimental noise.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Sep 27 2024

Very pop, not much else to say.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Sep 28 2024

First couple songs I've hear in a remixed form in a completely different genre (jungle iirc) so that was a nice surprise. Beautiful voice, but not enough to woo me.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Sep 29 2024

Brown Sugar is one of those songs that sticks with you for a few days, it is just so good. I wished the rest of the album hit that high but that sadly wasnt the case.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Oct 01 2024

Album full of covers that are worse than their original. I actuallt like their sounds-it is nice and raw- but the covers suck. Best thing about the album is its length.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Oct 02 2024

First song is great, the album peters out after that.

90 by 808 State
Oct 03 2024

Nice old school beats but nothing special nowadays.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Oct 04 2024

Very typical 80s pop music. Did not blow me away.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Oct 05 2024

Good lyrics, voice gets annoying, though.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 06 2024

Interesting sound. Not very great, though.

2112 by Rush
Oct 07 2024

Singer has an annoying voice, turned me off the album entirely.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Oct 08 2024

I feel like I've heard this album a lot. Sounds great, but very similar to others in the genre.

Oct 09 2024

I assumed I was going to hate this album. Wonderwall is a cliche at this point and the brothers have made a fool of themselves more than once over the decades. But you know what? It works. It's a very pleasant album to listen to and most of the songs work really well. Pleasantly surprised.

Suede by Suede
Oct 10 2024

Nothing special.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Oct 11 2024

Excellent breakbear album, could not top nodding my head to it.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Oct 12 2024

Took me a few songs to get into it, but once I did, it became very good.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Oct 13 2024

Good stuff, positive vibes, great beats, good message. Don't know what more you want.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Oct 14 2024

What a strange album. But in a very good way.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Oct 15 2024

Fun album! Just dragged on a little too long.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 16 2024

This album is exhibit A of how Lamar dogwalked Drake during their back-and-forth earlier this year. The man is sharp, smart, obviously well-read and extremely talented.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Oct 19 2024

Oh, this difficult. First impression was "2 hours? For fuck's sake!" I automatically dock a star, it's just what it is. But then I heard that familiar beat, like an old friend who I haven't seen in years. It is a garage album! That genre I so loved in my late teens/early 20s. I got really into it, but near the end of the first hour, the repetition got to me and I still had another hour to. Once again strengthening my opinion: an album that long can easily lose half the tracks (or more) and it will always be an improvement. Cut the fat, stop being so in love with yourself. This could've been an easy 5 stars for me, if it did not outstay its welcome. Old friend or not, stop the yap.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Oct 20 2024

Very basic britpop, easily forgettable

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Oct 21 2024

Excellence. Fantastic jazzy hiphop beats with socially concious raps. This is so good.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Oct 22 2024

Nice music, lame lyrics.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Oct 23 2024

Yeah, 80s coumtry inspired pop. Cant make me happy with that.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Oct 24 2024

Sad stories told by the Chairman of the Board. Got a little old by the end of it.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Oct 25 2024

Very old school, unique style but I got a bit tired of those simple 80s raps. The genre has evolved over the years.

Arise by Sepultura
Oct 26 2024

God what a noise. Good noise at first, but it also gets old quick.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Oct 27 2024

Very very very standard. Idk why it is on the list. Not that it is bad, but is it one of the best albums ever? I can't see it.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Oct 28 2024

Couple good songs on this album, especially Celebrity Skin, but mostly mediocre.

Oct 29 2024

This man is horny. I wanted to give it 4 stars, but the titular track pushed it over to 5.

Wild Gift by X
Oct 30 2024

The kind of punk album I could've sworn I've already heard on this list.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Nov 01 2024

It's a (fake) movie soundtrack, but not like any of the good ones like Morricone, Poledouris, Zimmer, Williams, or countless others. Weird album.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Nov 02 2024

Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World are great, everything else is just fine.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Nov 04 2024

2.5 hours and none of it is special in any way. Wtf is this.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Nov 05 2024

Britpop, what else is there to say. It's not offensive, but not very good either.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Nov 06 2024

Like the Beatles but slightly different. And I already dont care much for the Beatles.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Nov 07 2024

Too sweet, did love the use of the Shook Ones sample. Great voice though, just not for me.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Nov 08 2024

Lots of nice tunes, not entirely my taste tho.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Nov 09 2024

So edgy, I cut myself several times. I can't take it seriously. Raining Blood was alright, I guess. It had a discernable melody.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Nov 10 2024

Fun sound, but it didn't blow me away.

Nov 11 2024

Passin Me By is what brought it to 5 stars. Classic album, fun album. These songs bring back a lot of memories.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Nov 12 2024

I love funky music like this, but I felt something was missing. Cant put my finger on it, maybe them playing around with different genres?

Boston by Boston
Nov 13 2024

Lots of good hits and very short. What more do you want?

Timeless by Goldie
Nov 14 2024

Love drum and bass, but this album is too long. I dont even mind the 20 minute song much, it's pretty good actually. But half of the songs couldve been cut easily and the album wouldve improved immensely. Sad. I was happy to see another DnB album on this list (a little diversity after a shitload of britpop or obscure american bands from the 60s) but Ive got to be honest and say that this album just doesn't hit the 5 star level.

OK by Talvin Singh
Nov 15 2024

Pretty mid, songs go on for too long.

Tical by Method Man
Nov 16 2024

Old school Method Man and WuTang sound, whats not to love.

John Prine by John Prine
Nov 17 2024

Pretty good for country album. That's high praise from me.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Nov 18 2024

Never hear of him before, but this was great. Great beats with an old school feel, nice lyrics and flow.

Nov 19 2024

Ironclad flow, beats that make it impossible to not nod your head and lyrics that still manage to make people upset after 24 years. What a follow up to the Slim Shady LP.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Nov 20 2024

Normally I hate overly long albums (and I'm glad I found the review stating that the wrong album is linked, because that one is over 3 hours long), but this flew by. I love jungle music so much.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 21 2024

Blegh. Boring, mostly. 1 star for effort, I didnt actively hate it.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Nov 23 2024

Lots of shouting, weird. Couldnt get into it.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Nov 24 2024

Made a cold miserable day feel warmer. Chan Chan is an amazing opening track.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Nov 26 2024

Good. For a country album. Mercifully short.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Nov 29 2024

So boring, im sure this is great for some people, but for me I was done after the second song.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 01 2024

So many hits on this one. The songs in between didnt really stick, tho.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Dec 02 2024

If I listened to any individual song, I wouldn't be very impressed. But as an album it is fantastic how so many genres are woven throughout. You never know where they're taking you next and that gives it a lot of charm. Fun!

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Dec 03 2024

I respect what this album did for music, but I'd be lying if I said I loved it.

Bossanova by Pixies
Dec 04 2024

Not bossanova and forgettable to boot.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 05 2024

Absolutely wonderful. Politically engaged, sharp lyrics accompanied by good music and the soothing voice of Marley. Can't get enough of these songs.

Play by Moby
Dec 06 2024

It's fine albeit a little dated

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Dec 07 2024

Okay stuff but dragged on a little too long.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Dec 08 2024

Very sweet, too sweet. Despite that, it wont really stick with you.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Dec 09 2024

I didn't look up the translation, because I don't roll this way. Good music is good wether I understand what's being said or not. And this was good. The type of music that makes you feel like youre walking in a dream, or as a character in a movie when you walk through the familiar streets of your hometown. Music that gives you goosebumps because it just hits the right way. That's all you really need. Only complaint is that it dragged on a little too long.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Dec 10 2024

Ok rock album, not much to say. Singer was hard to understand at times.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Dec 11 2024

Way too long, but it sounded alright.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Dec 13 2024

Listened to the deluxe version. I love this type of music, but barring the song sung by Hayes, this was capital b Boring. Songs dragged on too long, album was too long. Woudlve been better as a medly.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Dec 14 2024

Couple great songs, mostly mediocre overall.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Dec 15 2024

The best song are at the start and then it meanders on until the end

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Dec 16 2024

Forgetabble but inoffensive.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Dec 17 2024

Very late 90s, early 2000s. Cant say I missed it much.

Dec 18 2024

Very cool mixture of different styles and cultures, this is the stuff I enjoy finding on this project.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Dec 20 2024

It's alright but it all started to sound the same real quick.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Dec 21 2024

Sounded alright, but it lost me once they started doing covers.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Dec 22 2024

It's alright, heard better in the genre

Garbage by Garbage
Dec 25 2024

Luckily it is not garbage, I enjoyed it enough. It just didnt blew me away as I suppose it did to others. Felt very samey very quickly. Good background music, though.

No Other by Gene Clark
Dec 26 2024

No suprise it didn't leave much of a mark when it came out. It is pretty standard, nothing mindblowing.

Low by David Bowie
Dec 27 2024

Maybe I'm missing something, but it was very basic. Probably should have been there.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Dec 28 2024

I don't think I finished the majority of songs on this album, which is a rarity. Painfully boring, that's my main takeaway.

Dec 30 2024

Every song a banger, loving the Marley influences throughout. Liked the little interviews in the classroom too.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Dec 31 2024

I did not like the singing at all.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 01 2025

Depressing, edgy and worst of all: boring.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jan 02 2025

Country *and* boring. Pass.

Phrenology by The Roots
Jan 03 2025

Love the diversity of genres on this album, although I felt it kept going on a little too long. 1 hr was too much.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jan 04 2025

Weird noises, weird music and boring to boot.

Jan 05 2025

Made me want to take a train. In all seriousness, this was a hard listen. Repetitive, and not at all interesting.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Jan 06 2025

Weird album. It was a constant ebb and flow between digging the album and wondering wtf I was listening to. Sort of enjoyed it, I guess.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Jan 07 2025

Boring, derivative, each songs sounds like the other. Glad it is over.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 09 2025

Really good music, just one or two songs that didnt do it for me.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jan 10 2025

Idk why everyone is nasty about this album, there is a lot of good on here. Funky, disco, tight beat. Ostentatious coke-fueled 80s vibe. What's not to love.

Guero by Beck
Jan 11 2025

It sounds good and all, but it never gets great.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jan 12 2025

Decided to give it full points because damn... every song is good and it is not too long. Just great.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Jan 14 2025

Great beats, great bars. There's not much else to say.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jan 15 2025

Even though I was freezing my ass off listening to this, I felt warm inside. Not as great as other Bossa Nova on this list, but still good enough.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jan 16 2025

What an amazing album, short but very powerful. Vibes so funky, it cured my arthritis!

The Visitors by ABBA
Jan 17 2025

Wow, an Abba album my mom didn't listen to death. It's fine, didn't blow me away. Very similar to their other work, light Disco for people who don't listen to Disco.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 18 2025

Idk. This is one of those albums on this list where I enjoy listening to it, but will also forget about it within a few days.

The La's by The La's
Jan 19 2025

Someone else already made the "bla" joke, but it really fits well.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Jan 20 2025

Great beats, decent lyrics. It just felt a little too much like Public Enemy. Not as orgininal as it couldve been.

Didn't finish it. I like Dylan, but not enough to listen to an hour and a half concert. I don't think concerts have their place on this list, really. Unless it it is really exceptional (this wasn't it)

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jan 23 2025

Nothing happens. All build-up and no payoff. I'm sure it was revolutionary when it came out, but even back then there were better examples of electronic music (namely Kraftwerk).

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jan 24 2025

I love The Doors. I love so many songs of theirs. But this album was mostly a dud. The famous two or three hits were great, everythint else was a huge dud. Shame, did not expect this.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 25 2025

One of those albums I can't remember much of the next day.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jan 26 2025

Reminded me of a worse version of Massive Attack.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Jan 27 2025

Interesting stuff. Can't say I enjoyed it all, but I kept nodding my head an it did grab me somewhat. Might need a couple more listens to truly decide if I like it or love it.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jan 28 2025

Beautiful voice and something entirely different.

Odelay by Beck
Jan 29 2025

Another Beck album, there are a lot of them on this list. It was alright.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jan 30 2025

Title song is great, the rest is same ol same ol.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Feb 01 2025

This album sounds like it would be used in the background of a government PSA or work safety instruction video in the 90s. Boring.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Feb 03 2025

The best songs were the ones without vocals. The singing was horrendous. I had to go outside and listen there to make sure my neighbors did not think I was hurting my cat. It should be a 1 star, but the music itself wasn't too bad. It was pretty good, actually, just completely ruined by the singing.

#1 Record by Big Star
Feb 04 2025

Forgettable

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Feb 05 2025

Very 80s, but what a voice. The classics on this album (Private Dancer and What's Love Got To Do With It) are forever classics. Only thing that bothered me is that the album felt a little too long.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Feb 06 2025

Very pleasant surprise. Never heard of him but wish I had 10 years ago. Cool combo of soul and rock and the quality stays up throughout. I want to hear more from him!

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 07 2025

Excellent songs, but there were a few that just didnt reach that quality.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Feb 08 2025

Chill reggae, just as I love it.

Feb 09 2025

Couple songs on this album still sound great (the hits, basically) but overall it just feels really dated. Worst of all is that it really drags on, I had to start skipping tracks.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Feb 10 2025

Cover album, what more is there to say? Id rather listen the originals even though this wasnt bad.

California by American Music Club
Feb 11 2025

Boring, but not awful.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 13 2025

This sounded awful. Looking into it more, it did not make it better. Someone should have told Beefheart "no" and not let this failed project get as far as it did. I honestly feel like the kid in The Emperor's New Clothes, where everyone says it is amazing and all I see is a floppy dick.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 14 2025

Milquetoast is the word that kept jumping up in my mind while listening to this album. It doesn't help that it is over an hour long, I feel like all that couldve been said musically was said in the first 20 minutes. Mr. Blue Sky is a nice song, though, but that is the only one that really stood out to me.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Feb 15 2025

I don't like country and this album did not convince me otherwise. What a drag.

Damaged by Black Flag
Feb 16 2025
Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Feb 18 2025

Great music. Love her songs. This album gives plenty of nods to the classics but I cant get myself to call it a classic.

Feb 21 2025

Its amazing to finally listen to this album and recognizing so many small, throwaway lines as the basis of songs by other artists in completely different genres. *That* is influence.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Feb 22 2025

Very enjoyable, although a little too long/repetitive.

Da Capo by Love
Feb 23 2025

When I was presented with the cover, i had to suppress a groan. Another 60s band where the band poses together, preferable in nature. But I try not to let a cover guide my opinion. Sadly it was just as expected: nothing special. Ive heard so many albums like this so far.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Feb 24 2025

Interesting sound, especially for the time. Sometimes it sounds like youre listening to a much more modern album.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Feb 25 2025

At least we have the titties.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Feb 27 2025

I appreciate that this was an inspiration for many bands to come, but some of the noise that was produced made me grimace involuntarily. It's shite.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Feb 28 2025

Smorgasbord of mediocrity.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Mar 01 2025

Great album, littly too poppy for my taste, but the hits hit good.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 02 2025

This is the fifth Nick Cave album I have gotten. I get that people like Cave but enough is enough. I liked this album better than his other albums, but I still don't get it.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Mar 03 2025

Enjoyed it, lots of skill on display here.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Mar 04 2025

Unvelievably dull. I get Eno was ahead of his time, but it feels like it goes nowhere. Ambient shouldve been called meandering.

Mar 05 2025

One of those rock albums that sounds a lot like other rock albums of the time. Nothing special.

Mar 06 2025

When I read "proto-punk" I already lost all interest, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 07 2025

I must say, after hearing many Dylan albums on this list, that I kinda felt tired about the prospect of hearing *another* Dylan album. Luckily this one was great, probably one of his best.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Mar 08 2025

Forgettable.

Revolver by Beatles
Mar 09 2025

This album only strengthened my belief that you can best experience the Beatles through a Best Of compilation instead of the individual albums. On each album are one or two genius works of art while everything else is boring and forgettable.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Mar 10 2025

More of the same, one of those artists who get all the hype and leaves me baffled.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Mar 13 2025

Not bad, the singer's voice got annoying after a while though

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Mar 15 2025

Chill, with a lot of different styles. Some songs got a bit boring though.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Mar 18 2025

A master at work, that much is clear. Just didn't hit as hard that I would give it 5 stars.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Mar 19 2025

"Mom, I want Leonard Cohen." "We have Leonars Cohen at home." Leonard Cohen at home:

Electric by The Cult
Mar 20 2025

Very generic 80s rock.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 21 2025

Not a single boring moment and the man is telling a story at one point. Impressive.

Melodrama by Lorde
Mar 23 2025

Outstayed its welcome a little near the end, but I didn't mind listening to this.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Mar 24 2025

Very samey throughout, but not bad overall.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Mar 25 2025

Stairway to Heaven remains an absolute classic, the rest of the album didn't quite grab me as much.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Mar 26 2025

Very hypnotic, the repetition serves to add to whole vibe rather than detract from it.

Mar 27 2025

I really really don't care about country. All the commenters whining about how there's too much british music on this list, meanwhile I feel like im about to loose it when there is another southern twang singer complaining about how shitty their life is. I. DONT. CARE.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Mar 29 2025

I didnt expect much, but at the end I was dancing the cha-cha-cha.

Mar 30 2025

Yeah, I couldnt tell the songs apart. Just one stream of similar noise. Good noise, mind, just wish there was more variation to it.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Mar 31 2025

Very well-produced albeit a little too long which hurt the latter half of the album. I wish there was a half star or a three quarter star, because this is the only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars. All the different styles and rhythms showed me that Monáe is a very talented and broad artist. I had no idea who she was and I want to hear more from here.

Apr 01 2025

I used to listen to this album all the time in my late teens. It was my shit, it was formative and I am happy I listened to it when I did. Listening to it now, it doesn't hit quite the same. I though Common's flow was lacking more than once, not even his pleasant voice could make up for it. But you know what? For the great beatsx the positive vibes and the buckets full of nostalgia that I felt re-listening to this, it is going to get 5 stars from me, even though if came at this purely objectively, it probably doesn't deserve it. Thankfully music is not objective.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Apr 02 2025

I wouldve rated this higher if this wasnt a love concert. I really do not care for them, especially the older ones where the sound quality is wank. I would've loved watching it.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Apr 03 2025

After listening, I read that this was (based on) a previously abandoned album, and I could tell why they abandoned it.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Apr 04 2025

Funny, a few days ago I wrote in my review how much I dislike live recordings, but I guess the audience for this one makes it a bit more special. Enjoyed it a lot, Cash is the rare country star who I adore.

Apr 05 2025

Very basic 80s synth pop. Im sure it was new and fresh when it came out, but I had trouble finding a lot of value listening to this album

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Apr 06 2025

Oh, how quaint. Another album where Morrissey is having a self-indulgent moan.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Apr 08 2025

I wanted to rate it lower, because this album didnt grab me as much as other work I've come across. Musically it is not his best work. But then, somewhere halfway, I really got into the stories Cohen told. He's not the best singer, the music that supports it is also not the best, but he is so imaginative. He drags you into this world he creates and it is easy to imagine it all. Good stuff.

Illmatic by Nas
Apr 09 2025

Classic. Deep topics, poetic and every song knocks it out the park.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Apr 10 2025

First two songs had me sold, the third track turned me off completely and the album didnt recover after that. Wtf was that?

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Apr 12 2025

I feel like I have heard an album like this a hundred times and forgotten it a hundred times too.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Apr 13 2025

Why did someone decide to use this awesome album as a platform to talk about their nasty, unwashed, unhygienic ass?

Apr 14 2025

Wasn't a big fan of his rap style at first. Never like it when rappers breath in sharply after every sentence, but the good message, good stories and tight beats won me over at the end. Good stuff.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Apr 15 2025

My opinion about West in his life outside music aside, I never vibed with him. His rap style always seems so basic, and this album shows it yet again. Reliance on auto-tune, nonsensical lyrics, mid cadence and rhytemn and he is so full of himself. Annoying. The one saving grace is that the beats, as always, are exceptional.

Kenza by Khaled
Apr 16 2025

Reminds me of when I spent too much time hanging in my friend's uncle's Moroccan bar. They loved Cheb Khaled there.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Apr 18 2025

I had to turn it off halfway because it got on my nerves.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Apr 19 2025

I dont think this was one of the albums to listen to before you die of 2003, let alone of all time.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Apr 21 2025

My dad always listened to Blues growing up and I only ever half payed attention to it. I shouldve listened more, this was really good!

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Apr 25 2025

It's like listening to paint dry

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Apr 26 2025

Very 60s, nothing special.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Apr 28 2025

First song is amazing, but it was a mistake to put it on the front. None of the other songs come close and it made me bored.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Apr 29 2025

One of those albums where I keep thinking "I've heard this one before".

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Apr 30 2025

The next day, I couldnt tell you anything remarkable about this album. Run-of-the-mill

London Calling by The Clash
May 01 2025

Drags on a little bit and I only really loved London Calling. Sadly that was the first song and the album was an hour long.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 02 2025

Come On Eileen is such a banger and it was on twice. That alone gave it an extra star, because if we're going to be honest, the rest of the album deserves only three stars. They seem like a great band to see in a small venue, though.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
May 03 2025

Forgettable

The Coral by The Coral
May 04 2025

Thankfully it was only half an hour long. Otherwise entirely unremarkable.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
May 06 2025

Boring, can't remember anything about it the next day.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
May 07 2025

Last song was interesting, but thankfully the album was less than half an hour long

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
May 08 2025

Wild Wood was ok, everything was a bit boring.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
May 09 2025

Nothing special but I enjoyed my time with it

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
May 10 2025

took too long, not interesting enough. The singer's voice is great, though.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
May 12 2025

Very fun album, and nice to hear Björk's early work.

Infected by The The
May 13 2025

I went in expecting to hate it. I didn't. No masterpiece by any means, but I enjoyed it for what it is.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 14 2025

Good music, hated the singing.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
May 15 2025

Started off liking this album, but the longer it went on, the more often I checked the time. The songs are too long, which is impressive on a 38min album, made it feel twice as long.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 16 2025

Nothing special, very much the sound of the time, but I didn't mind that today.

Faust IV by Faust
May 17 2025

A few good songs, which save it from a 1 star. But the noise in some of the bad song (especially the first and last songs) were absolutely awful. Literal noise, had me turn down the audio because it was so grating. I thought something was wrong with my device at first.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
May 18 2025

A bit long-winded but I didnt end up hating it. Very 90s.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
May 19 2025

My least favorite album of theirs. Lots of yelling, very loud. Doesn't hit as well as others I've heard.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 20 2025

Honestly cant remember a thing about it the next day. Just that it is inoffensive 90s rock.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
May 21 2025

I expected this to be an easy 5 stars, but damn, it just wasnt that good. None of the hits, no songs that stood out, nothing special. Still, it's Prince so it wasn't bad, but I expected more.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
May 22 2025

I expected to like this album more, but it was a lot of the same thing and nothing came really close to Son of a Preacher Man. Good stuff, no doubt about that, just a little too much of the same thing.

Faith by George Michael
May 23 2025

Couple good songs, but a lot of it is just cliche 80s pop

Drunk by Thundercat
May 24 2025

What a nice surprise. Never heard of Thundercat before, and it is basically My Shit. Might went on a little longer than I wanted, but I still nodded my head and tapped my foot the entire hour.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
May 25 2025

Really good music, but 1h30 is a lot to ask and it didn't quite catch my attention throughout. Never a good sign when you keep checking how many songs are left.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
May 26 2025

The first song sounded like an 80s scifi soundtrack, no? I wished it wouldve kept that vibe throughout the album, but it quickly turned into your more standard Cohen fare. Lyrically it wasn't as good as I expect from him either. Promising start turned into a bit of a let down.

White Ladder by David Gray
May 27 2025

Very boring 90s pop.

Copper Blue by Sugar
May 28 2025

It's fine. Nothing more, nothing less.

Pink Flag by Wire
May 29 2025

Whenever I see it is a postpunk album, I expect something like this. They all start to sound the same to me.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
May 30 2025

Interesting electronic music, kept noddig my head. Love the genres being mixed together to come up with something new.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
May 31 2025

Very creative.

Queen II by Queen
Jun 01 2025

Went in expecting I'd love it. And it is good, don't get me wrong. I just didn't love it.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jun 02 2025

Havent heard of her before, but I'm left with the feeling that I want to hear more.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jun 04 2025

It's the Cure. I can't get over the singer's singing style. It's all very whiny. I enjoy the music, though

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jun 05 2025

Surprisingly fun.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 07 2025

Neil Young is always good.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 08 2025

It's fine, nothing special.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jun 09 2025

No big deal, just a couple legends making some of the best music I have ever heard.

Jun 10 2025

Not a bad song on the album. While I usually dont care about live sets, this one has me bopping and tapping all the way through.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jun 12 2025

Way more fun than I expected it to be. Good energy.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Very topical for multiple reasons, this is quite a departure from what I'm used to from the Beach Boys. Very political, verh conscious. I like it. Rest in Peace Brian Wilson.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Jun 15 2025

First song was great, the album started to get a little worse the longer it went on. Still enjoyed it overall.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jun 16 2025

Simply boring.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jun 18 2025

Hate that it is a live album, but at least it was a good one.

Who's Next by The Who
Jun 19 2025

I didnt listen to all the songs on Spotify, because the deluxe version was the one linked and 2 hours would have really made me hate this. I kept to the original tracks. As it stands, I quite enjoyed this.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jun 20 2025

Scott Walker is boring.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jun 22 2025

Hey, that's that song from GTAIV Nothing else was special about the album.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Jun 23 2025

Not as good as his other works, but still enjoyable to listen to.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 24 2025

Sounds very 80s for a 90s album

Jun 25 2025

Thought I'd gonna hate it because I assumed this was full of noisy riffs, ended up liking it because it was full of noisy riffs.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jun 26 2025

I hate the way she sings.

Technique by New Order
Jun 27 2025

Nice early edm, but it slides back to Joy Division's sound now and then, which really wasn't necessary. It wouldve been a better album if they kept the focus of the first track.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Jun 29 2025

Very boring and he even did covers. What's the point?

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 01 2025

Felt like I heard this before, but I feel that often when I listen to prog rock.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 03 2025

Not bad at all, just a bit boring. I know Radiohead can do better.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jul 05 2025

It's fine, sounds similar to other, better bands.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 06 2025

It feels like I already hears this album if his before, but it just sounds the exact same as the last one that appeared on this list.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Jul 07 2025

It was fine, but every song sounded the same. I couldnt tell you how one song was different from the other except the lyrics.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jul 08 2025

It was a beautiful day and this music worked perfectly for it.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jul 09 2025

Very boring

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jul 10 2025

It was alright, albeit a bit unmemorable. Did I enjoy listening to it? Sure. Would I listen to it again? Probably not.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 12 2025

even though it sounded all very same-y, it does sound good throughout.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jul 13 2025

It's just very edgy and faux tough guy. Still, I felt a little tougher than before.

Jul 14 2025

Bit same-y for an hour worth of music, but i loved the combination of 90s electronic music and Brazil.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jul 15 2025

Oh hey. How quaint. Another Costello album. I started off this project not knowing anything about hia music. Then I enjoyed it, or at least appreciate it. And now I'm at the point where, after 4 albums or so, I feel like I'm getting sick of him. Every album sounds the same, stop it. One entry wouldve been enough.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jul 16 2025

Fun album which lost me at times with some of the singing near the end. But still, hearing an album start with the og ps music and street fighter 2 was nice for nostalgia.

The Cars by The Cars
Jul 17 2025

One of those albums where I don't really understand the five stars, but I'm happy for those who love it. Just felt very basic to me.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jul 18 2025

Felt very chaotic, couldnt focus on or enjoy it.

Jul 19 2025

Overlong songs, but at least they sounded good.

Jul 20 2025

Fantastic album, lots of cool stories. I generally hate country, but Ive learned that I enjoy it when it is about western or outlaw topics.

Jul 23 2025

I've only heard of this band through Death Stranding, and I liked this better than what I've heard there. It feels very much like pop music, except with a little more bite.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Whatever you think of Ozzy Osbourne, you can't deny that he is the best example of a rock legend. Good and bad. RIP. As for the album, I love the three 3 most well-known tracks , but then also hated Planet Caravan because it took me out of it entirely, as if it belonged on a different album. And that feeling stayed with me throughout, even though Iron Man came right after. The songs that followed just weren't enough to shake that feeling, sadly. Still a great album by a great band, just with one big fat bruise on it.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jul 25 2025

It's fine, felt like very standard late 90s rock wich makes its impressive that it came out in 89.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jul 26 2025

Chill album.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jul 27 2025

Fine. Very soulful, although after this album I got an autoplayed Bill Withers song and it reminded me how much better this genre can be.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jul 28 2025

Ome good song at the very start. Badly rapped songs for the rest of it.

Jul 29 2025

Hard album to enjoy, to be honest. I think I just get annoyed by Cee-Lo's voice, even though the music was good.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jul 30 2025

Perfect summer weather music, made me want to lay on a beach with a cold alcoholic drink in my hand.

Nowhere by Ride
Aug 01 2025

I felt like ive heard this album 100 times already

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Aug 02 2025

Much better than I expected at first glance but I expected very little.

Music by Madonna
Aug 03 2025

I liked the title song but everything else was horrible. Jesus.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Aug 04 2025

I liked it, would've been 4 stars if it wasn't 1.5 hours long, wtf is wrong with you that you think I want to listen to your poppy music for that long??

Roots by Sepultura
Aug 05 2025

Surprisingly amazing. I can listen to this genre normally, but I never find it amazing. But this unique combination of South (and native) American sounds with thrashing electric guitars just hits. Sadly a little too long, last track wasn't necessary at all tbh.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Aug 06 2025

It's a Nick Drake album. They all sound alike. Thankfully it was very short.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Aug 07 2025

Yes, it sounds like the reception area of a (would-be) trendy city hotel, but it sounds good. Relaxing.

Aug 08 2025

The album came on the scene like a bombshell when released and it still holds up.

Aug 09 2025

Title song is a classic. The other songs don't come close to the greatness, but make a good attempt. It's all a very unique sound, especially for the early 80s.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Aug 10 2025

Sounded like The Doors but worse, except this album came out 2 years before The Doors (the album, not the band.) Still sounds worse.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Aug 12 2025

Boring punk

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Aug 13 2025

Ffs, another one? I just can't stand his whining disguised as singing any longer. Seriously, every song is like a complaint letter.

Traffic by Traffic
Aug 14 2025

Just another 60s rock band no one ever talks about anymore.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Aug 15 2025

Very boomer rock, but the good kind.

Aug 17 2025

Dont hate the music but the album misses the mark. Bad recording quality should immediately disqualify an album on this list.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Aug 19 2025

Very uneventful

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Aug 20 2025

Good stuff. I was working out and my wife asked " is that blood, sweat and tears?" I pointed towards my abs questioningly, she shook her hear and said "No. The music."

Crazysexycool by TLC
Aug 22 2025

Good collection of songs, but I was glad that it ended. It's one of those weird albums where I feel it misses something.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Aug 23 2025

-1 for making me listen to Jailbait. Felt like a creep listening to that.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Aug 25 2025

It's unique to say the least. Little messy here and there, but I enjoyed it.

The hits are fine, everything else is very boring. I remember when my dad bought this album because he was U2 fan, but I don't remember ever hearing him listen to it. I can understand why now.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Aug 27 2025

Only good song was Our House, everything else was really so-so. Why can't we get more real reggae on this list?

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 28 2025

The experiments don't always hit, but you've got to appreciate something that's experimental and highly listenable.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Aug 29 2025

Overlong but some good songs on it. Under the Bridge is still great, idc if it is nostalgia speaking.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 30 2025

Weak album and far too long. I know he can do better than this.

Sep 01 2025

When I think of good hiphop, this is the album that comes to mind. The rawness of the beats, the variation in rap styles. What's not to love.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Sep 02 2025

Tempted to give it 1 star because 1h17m is too much Christina Aguilera. But honestly, I listened to all of it and, while I didn't liks it by any means, I was less annoyed than I imagined I would. Not 1 star worthy.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Sep 03 2025

Starts with a huge banger, doesn't really reach that level after that. Still very good, though.

Woodface by Crowded House
Sep 04 2025

Nothing special, not unenjoyable. Great background noise.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 06 2025

Dated? Yes. But you got to respect the classics.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Sep 07 2025

I had never heard of this, but i like Talking Heads so it is no surprise I like this one too. Very fun!

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Sep 08 2025

Good sound, but too long as it got boring quick.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Sep 09 2025

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega. Suzanne Vega.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Sep 10 2025

I love a short album, so that is a plus already. Even very dated ones like this one.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Sep 12 2025

It was alright. Dont understand their hype, though

Sep 13 2025

Second Pink Floyd album in a row (yesterday was Wish You Were Here) and I still dont get it. It's fine, inoffensive.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish
Sep 14 2025

Maybe unfair to this album, but it is the third prog rock album in three days and I am done with this genre.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Sep 15 2025

It was nice, nothing special.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Sep 16 2025

The album became good with the last song. Everything else just sounds like a standard 60s band.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 17 2025

One of those rare albums where every song is a good one.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Sep 18 2025

Good stuff, dont get the hype but i enjoyed it.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Sep 20 2025

Honestly felt like a parody band in movie. Boring, badly sung.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Sep 21 2025

Took me quite a bit to realize there were no instruments and I didn't miss it at all. Just a couple guys and their voice and hands.

Sep 22 2025

It's 2Pac, I have been listening to his music since I was 10. Of course this gets full marks. Poetic in the way most rappers (and singers in general) just aren't.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Sep 23 2025

Took me a while to get into it, but I enjoyed it near the end. It's all a little too long, though.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Sep 24 2025

I know why you have to listen to this album before you die. It makes 45 minutes feel like an eternity. I skipped after the sixth song because it's too boring.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Sep 25 2025

I was waiting at the airport and even then, when I had nothing to do, I chose not to continue listening to an hour of this shit. Honestly completely uninspired, you wonder how they got to be so big a few years later.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Sep 26 2025

I respect the noise, but not enough to actually listen to it.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Sep 27 2025

Finally something different.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Sep 29 2025

Latter part of the album was better than the first. It went from pretty basic r&b to actually good. Wish it held that quality throughout.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Oct 03 2025

I like good singing. This didnt have good singing.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Oct 04 2025

Not my favourite Wonder album. Just when I thought it was getting better, I realized the album was done and it was following a playlist with his other music.

Forever Changes by Love
Oct 07 2025

It's an ok album, nothing special though.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Oct 08 2025

Pretty good aged rock

En-Tact by The Shamen
Oct 09 2025

Some music shouldve been left behind in the 90s.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Oct 10 2025

Not that bad actually, but 1 hour was too much.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 11 2025

This the 6th (and hopefully last) Costello album on this list. While I don't think his music is that bad, we really didn't need 6 of his albums.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 12 2025

I generally don't like live albums, but can you imagine a high profile artist in 2025 singing songs for prisoners in a prison about how much it sucks in there? I can't see something like this happen anymore. That reason alone makes it far more interesting than a standard concert album or even a studio album.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Oct 13 2025

It's very surprising. The album that has such a great song as Solsbury Hill is completely uninteresting otherwise.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Oct 14 2025

Hadn't listened to this album by SoAD yet, and I dont know why. This was awesome.

Sulk by The Associates
Oct 16 2025

Boring af.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Oct 17 2025

Once in a Lifetime is an exceptional track, one that stays with you for hours after listening. That song along gave this album an extra star. Sadly, the rest of the album did not reach close to those heights and I've listened to enough Femi Kuti to be really impressed by what I heard.

The Bends by Radiohead
Oct 18 2025

Couple great songs on here.

Oct 19 2025

Normally I would give this 3 stars. Which means it is decent music but nothing that blew me away. Enjoyable listen. But Nothing Compares 2 U? Man, it is one of those songs that just blow you away. Easy extra star.

S&M by Metallica
Oct 20 2025

Two hours??? And a live album??? Ew. Music is alright, but it is too much.

1999 by Prince
Oct 21 2025

Basically what people try to copy when they make synthwave, but I got a little tired of all the beeps and boops at the end of it.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Oct 22 2025

Despite being a live album, the quality you find here is rare.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Oct 23 2025

Pretty bog standard brit pop sound, but it sounds decent enough.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Oct 24 2025

Very forgettable

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Oct 25 2025

What a talent, what a voice and this album does not even has her best work. What an indictment to this list, by the way, that this is the only Simone album on here. She deserves so much more.

Real Life by Magazine
Oct 26 2025

Not my favourite, but it did sound good.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Oct 27 2025

First 2 songs were great, petered out a little after that.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Oct 28 2025

It's fine. Nothing stood out but it served well in the background.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Oct 29 2025

Chill music and even though she gets away with it, I blame her for the husky, breathy singing voice becoming so popular among singer-songwriters.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Oct 30 2025

A collection of samples coming together as something new and unique.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Oct 31 2025

The early 2000 Neptunes and Timbaland beats are great, too bad it's ruined by Justin's singing.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Nov 02 2025

Got a little tired of the faux medieval vibe, but it was quite a trippy album.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Nov 04 2025

I dont care for the guy himself, but as a pop artist there are few who can stand in his shadow. This album shows why. You think it cant get any better after Dirty Diana, but Smooth Criminal and Leave Me Alone shortly follow to prove you wrong.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Nov 05 2025

Every song a banger. G-funk will never get old to me, fucking love that sound. Have the lyrics aged well? Probably not, but keep in mind that Snoop Dogg was 22 when this came out and honestly, me and my wife still laughed out loud to some of the funny nonsense coming out of Snoop's mouth. Easy 5 stars.

Nov 06 2025

Thought it was pretentious shit at first. 40 mins later I still found it pretentious, but less shit. It grows on you.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 07 2025

I dont get all the 5 stars this is getting. It felt extremely generic to me, the type of music I have heard a dozen times on this list.

Vespertine by Björk
Nov 08 2025

Weird but kinda wonderful. Björk has grown on me.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Nov 09 2025

Very funky, very soulful. The only think I dislike is that I hadn't heard this album before, because this is my shit.

Nov 10 2025

Very energetic, mercifully short. Wouldnt call it my new favourite band but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Nov 11 2025

Hour and a half long and it is mostly the sitar. Idk, just doesn't hit me at all and it actively annoyed me after a while.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Nov 12 2025

It's alright, didnt blow me away.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Nov 13 2025

Not much to say about it, just felt very generic overall.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 14 2025

Jesus this was bland.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Nov 15 2025

pling plong pling pling pling plong (continue for one hour) I didn't hate it but it got samey real fast.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Nov 16 2025

It's fine. Nothing special, I expected more from such a big name.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Nov 17 2025

Chill and pretty modern faux medieval troubadour rock.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Nov 18 2025

Lots of different vibes and genres. Nice and short too. Better than I expected.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 19 2025

The best guitarist ever. The album might be a little too long, but this was one of the rare long albums where it doesn't bother me at all.

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Nov 20 2025

Liked it at first, liked their rendition of Blue Moon, started to get tired of it about 40 minutes in and was done with it at the end. Sadly too long.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Nov 21 2025

Surprisingly good. Ska records fail more than they succeed but this one was highly energetic, had good lyrics and was very diverse.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Nov 22 2025

Yet another early 1990s album for gen x kids whose parents don't understand them ;_;

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Nov 23 2025

Fantastic voice, and what a great album. Sad that it is her last one. Could listen to this all day.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Nov 24 2025

Interesting Iron Man cover, little too sweet of an album for my liking. Still enjoyed it.

Document by R.E.M.
Nov 25 2025

Gets a little samey even though it is such a short album, but the highs are really high.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Nov 27 2025

Little too long for my liking, but I love her energy.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Nov 28 2025

Insanely impressive that this was made by one guy, sadly I thought it got samey quite quickly.

War by U2
Nov 29 2025

Great first song everything else was just alright. Mostly reminded me of sitting in the backseat as a child while my mom sang along with the songs.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Nov 30 2025

Feels like a standard Young album (guess that's what you get when there are 7 of his albums on a list). Enjoyed it though, but it didnt give anything else.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Dec 01 2025

Jazz albums are the reason the 50s are my favorite era on this list, even though I rarely care about 50s era music.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Dec 02 2025

I was completely ready to hate this. I never liked it when it came out, but now that I'm older and wiser I figured it was worth an honest listen. Turns out I didnt hate it. It's short, it knows what it wants and it sounds good. I can't help it.

21 by Adele
Dec 03 2025

Expected to hate it. Her voice brought me over and Someone Like You is an all time classic. Still not my thing, though, but it's hard to argue that this is bad.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Dec 04 2025

Wanted to give it three stars because even though it is a bit boring, it is a good vibe. But then I saw that their upcoming album uses ai art for their cover, so fuck them lmao

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Dec 06 2025

Great that it was only 15 minutes long. The music is alright, basic punk music but it got to the point and didn't waste my time. I bet you most albums on this list could be only 15 minutes long and it'll be a vast improvement.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Dec 08 2025

World music for people who don't want to interact with the world.

Scum by Napalm Death
Dec 09 2025

In the spirit of this album: BISSIBUNNABOFFADOE BISSIBUNNABOO GOLLAVINDISONNADO ROPPSTOCKODO RUDUFU RIMIFI RAFADEW. RIFIDERAFAROOOOOOOOOO. It sounds like your deaf neighbours having rough sex.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Dec 10 2025

Charitable 3 stars, I expected more honestly. The ballads are shit, the rock and roll song are much better which makes me hesitant to give this only 2 stars. I enjoyed half of the album after all.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Dec 11 2025

Boooorrriiiing. And overly long.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Dec 12 2025

Nothing special, only stand out song is Androgynous.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Dec 13 2025

Unbelievably edgy, but loses all impact when you see through the shtick.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Dec 14 2025

I liked the German songs much better, but I guess an album full if German song would be too much for 1001 albums.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Dec 15 2025

I dont give a 1 star often, because I believe that albums always have something for someone, so it can't all be bad. I reserve the 1 star for albums thay actively annoy me, that made me turn it off because I couldnt bear it any longer. This is one of those albums. The singing is shit, the music ranges from bland to shit. It reminded me of a mentally ill homeless person who livrs near me. He tries to make a living by (badly) playing two recorders at once. I get that experimental music is not tor everyone, but sometimes I feel like this epithet is used for shit music to make it seem better than it is.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Dec 17 2025

Fun album, although I got tired of it before the end even though it was a little over half an hour.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Dec 18 2025

Since it was picked as the word of the year a few days ago: this is peak britslop.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Dec 19 2025

Couple good songs, but got old fast.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Dec 20 2025

I dont get the hate for this album, the highs are pretty high. Sadly the lows are pretty low.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Dec 22 2025

Wish it was 20 minutes shorter, it all started to sound the same real quick,but what I heard I didnt hate. A tighter album wouldve given it an extra star.

Dec 23 2025

Too fucking long, there's a good argument to be made to just get to the fucking point. It did sound great, but when it goes on and on and on, it is hard to love it.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Dec 24 2025

Turns out I really can't stand country in most forms.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Dec 25 2025

Bad singing voice, mediocre music. Was there really nothing more deserving that could be on this list?

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Dec 26 2025

Pleasant surprise. A few misses here and there but an overall solid album.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Dec 27 2025

Starts great, peters out along the way. It's alright albeit too long.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Dec 29 2025

Beautiful voice, the music itself eas decidely meh.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Dec 31 2025

Fun album, bit incoherent musically but I guess it is an interesting medley of 1983 hiphop, puerto rican and south african music?

Vulnicura by Björk
Jan 01 2026

Fun album. What I like most about Björk is that she just does what she likes, gives no shits about genres and somehow makes it easy to listen to.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jan 02 2026

This got boring really fast, and for such a short album? Pretty impressive.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 03 2026

I started skipping after a while, this album may have gotten away with a single cd, but two whole hours? Get over yourselves you self-important wankers. Half these songs were filler. Only reason I'm not giving it 1 star is 1979.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 04 2026

First song was pretty great but this album is so fucking edgy. Yes, yes, we know you are a sad boy.

Jan 05 2026

Rough start of something new. More or less the birth of g-funk, one of my favorite genres in hiphop. While this album was a little on the long side and a little sloppy here and there, it's easily forgiven for the impact it made on the music I love.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jan 06 2026

Still waiting for the pleasure. I felt mostly bored.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 08 2026

The 4th song boiled it down for me when thinking about the songs on this album: "they all sounded the same."

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jan 10 2026

Normally hate the genre but this was pretty melodic and fun. Singing was a bit shit, mostly because of the poor recording quality

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Jan 11 2026

Would this album be on this list if he didn't die as young? Because it felt pretty unremarkable to me.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jan 12 2026

Very basic, but not unpleasant, mid-90s pop music.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jan 13 2026

honestly not half bad, definitely good that it was only half an hour long. Don't think I could've endured an hour of this.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jan 14 2026

Look, it is not bad, but if I'd rather listen to South African artists than Paul Simon's cheap imitation.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jan 16 2026

Lovely album, but I get tired of the disco sound quite quickly.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jan 19 2026

Awkward raps, overlong. One or two songs were decent but that's it really.

Cut by The Slits
Jan 20 2026

Pretty basic punk album tbh. Nothing blew me away.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Jan 24 2026

I love the lyrics and the music. What a great discovery.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jan 26 2026

Pretty chill, love Psycho killer so much it didn't bother me it was on twice. Did get a bit samey at the end.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jan 27 2026

Enjoyed the lyrics especially. Very sardonic, often funny. Still relevant in many ways.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Jan 28 2026

Pretty much a 60s country attempt at pop and it is simply boring.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jan 29 2026

One of the weakest albums by The Doors I've heard, but still better than most.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jan 31 2026

I love reggae, I love dub music in particular, but to have a list of 1001 albums you *have* to listen to, and then add this lame shit but nothing including King Tubby is pretty impressive.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Feb 01 2026

it was alright. not more, not less. good background noise but never anything more than that.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 02 2026

Weakest album by Fleetwood Mac on this list. Outright boring and way too long.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Feb 03 2026

Although it improved a bit along the way, in the first song the singer sounds like me in the shower (i cant sing)

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Feb 05 2026

Beautiful voice, shit genre. Lang's voice made up for it at least.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Feb 06 2026

Quite a few good song. Wouldn't compare this to the beatles because i like this more lol

Feb 07 2026

At first I hated it, the singer left a pretty bad first impression but the more I listened to more it grew on me.

Horses by Patti Smith
Feb 08 2026

Liked the energy in this one.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Feb 09 2026

Dindn't know what to expect, never heard of this artist. Thought it was weird at first, but the calm, repetitive bests drew me in and did not let me go. It was something (as style of music) I hadn't heard before which is very rare with just 20 albums left on this list. Wanted to 4 stars first, but reading through the reviews made me bump it up to 5. So harsh, unneccessarily.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Feb 10 2026

It's fine. Nothing special but enjoyable nonetheless.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Feb 11 2026

Bit too long, very dated but I liked the energy it brought. Would I listen to it often? Probably not.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Feb 12 2026

Tries a lot, but doesn't manage to really capture my attention.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Feb 13 2026

Love Holiday, bwautiful voice, sensitive music. Just don't think this album represented her best.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Feb 14 2026

It's a Stones album. Couple great songs and the rest is just standard.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Feb 15 2026

Boring, standard early 00s rock. Had to laugh at the top review tho, as if an American boring standard early 00s rock band would be any better.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Feb 16 2026

Even though it is a live album, this is a banger. The only times I was reminded of it was when he talked to the audience, the rest of the time it sounded super clear. I wish I was there, damn.

Feb 17 2026

Its neat that I have 7 albums left to listen too (omg last week!) and the list the still provides a five star album.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Feb 18 2026

The energy starts right away with Seven Nation Army and it doesn't let up. Tight drums throughout. Whats not to love?

Feb 19 2026

Bit of a nostalgia trip for me. This album came out a month before I was born and my mom LOVED it. Ive heard her listen to this album my entire childhood. A good amount of the songs on here still hold up, I think Gen Z would recognize that too lmao

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Feb 20 2026

I find it funny how there's a recurring complaint about nobody british bands on this list. Yet not a peep about all these nobody American bands. This was boring, idc if they "invented" a new genre. It sounded like shit.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 22 2026

Surprisingly experimental and fun, mkstly because it is so short so it doesn't outstay its welcome.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Feb 23 2026

Way too long and boring, but I gave it +1 star because I am in a good mood. This was my last album. I AM FREE!
