Pyromania by Def Leppard
Mar 07 2023

Pretty good. A little too glam pop metal for my tastes (they did more or less define the genre), but I still liked it. Was good enough to make me listen to some of their older albums, which I did not enjoy. Possibly some of their work after this one will be decent.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Mar 08 2023

I quite liked this album. Its very short and all the songs are short as well. Nothing about it was amazing, but it just felt nice to listen to.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Mar 09 2023

I hated this. With a passion. Hard to express how much. I think maybe it reminds me too much of a different time in my life. Or maybe I just really dislike this type of music.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Mar 10 2023

Not for me. Loud discordant. I had a hard time getting thru even 30 seconds of any track on the album.

Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 13 2023

I liked this album. This is the album that their big hit 'Last Night' comes from. Overall a fun, casual listen.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Mar 15 2023

Really liked this one. Kind of radio friendly rock in the vein of Elton John or Billy Joel. A little more mellow than both. But really enjoyable.

More Specials by The Specials
Mar 16 2023

Ska is just not for me. I tried

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 17 2023

I've never listened to a full Beatles album before. Really great. There's a reason they are one of the biggest bands of all time.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Mar 20 2023

Another artist who is so well known for a reason. Really enjoyable listen.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Mar 21 2023

Thought this was great. Old school upbeat R&B. It’s the album that the track ‘Who’s that Lady’ is from.

Black Metal by Venom
Mar 22 2023

I listen to metal somewhat often, but I just have never liked Venom. It just doesn't feel like music to me. I can see how their style influenced 80s thrash metal, which is one of my favorite genres. So I can at least appreciate that even if I dislike the album.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Mar 23 2023

Really great classic rock.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Mar 24 2023

This was OK. Nothing wrong with it really. Just not my type of music

Mar 27 2023

Better than the other Bob Dylan album I listened to, but there is just something about Dylan that grates on me.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 28 2023

Enjoyable classic rock. A tad on the slow side for me but I still liked it.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Mar 31 2023

Oh boy. This is not for me. Kind of weird, slow nothingness?

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Apr 03 2023

I suspect that this is a great album for jazz fans. It had some moments I enjoyed but overall I just have a hard time getting into this style.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Apr 04 2023

Really liked this one. Kind of fun, trippy rock.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Apr 05 2023

I didn’t care for the opening track, but their style grew on me as I listened to the rest of the album. Probably my least favorite of the Big Four, but growing on me a bit.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 07 2023

This is the reason I'm signed up for this. Love this album and have never heard of the band before this.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Apr 10 2023

A bit different than I was expecting. But overall pretty good 70s trippy rock type album

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Apr 11 2023

I ended up liking this a lot less than I expected. I was just sort of bored throughout

Microshift by Hookworms
Apr 12 2023

This was OK. A bit boring. I didn't actively dislike anything about it, but I didn't actively like much of anything about it either.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Apr 13 2023

Sometimes a style of music is just not for me. This is one of those cases. Even the best songs on this album I found to be just OK.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 14 2023

Classic. Really enjoyed this.

Boston by Boston
Apr 17 2023

Really solid album from front to back. I think it doesn't quite hold your attention all the way thru but there certainly weren't any bad songs on the album.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Apr 24 2023

Fun album. Had several songs I didn't know I knew.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 01 2023

Really didn't like this album. Just felt a bit bored throughout.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
May 02 2023

Eh. I didn't really dislike any particular song on this album but I didn't really like any of them either. Felt like mediocre background music.

May 03 2023

This double album wasn't not for me. It felt like I was listening to the same song on repeat for the 2 hours.

So by Peter Gabriel
May 04 2023

Some really great songs on this one. Sledgehammer and In Your Eyes are really good. There are a few mediocre songs in the mix too, but overall really enjoyable listen.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
May 08 2023

Pleasant voice and a few songs I enjoyed. But overall found myself a bit bored

Tapestry by Carole King
May 11 2023

Loved it.

May 12 2023

Great album. One of the songs got overly repetitive but other than that the only flaw is that the album doesn't have more tracks!

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
May 16 2023

Oof. This was not good. The 2 famous songs, "Stop" and "Been Caught Stealing" are pretty good, but the rest of the album is downright awful.

S&M by Metallica
May 17 2023

One of my favorite albums of all time. Metallica and a Symphony Ochestra is a match made in metal heaven.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 19 2023

This album really blew me away. I was not prepared for it. The raw emotion in her voice is something I've never heard. Amazing.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
May 22 2023

Loved this album. You can definitely tell why he became such a big star.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
May 23 2023

Enjoyable but forgettable.

Cross by Justice
Jun 02 2023

Normally not my style of music, but I really enjoyed this one. Cool electronic music. Not sure the sub-genre but I liked it.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 05 2023

I didn't think I would like this one but I rather enjoyed it. He's not a great vocalist, but his voice has a certain quality that's just... I dunno, nice? Not sure what it is. Just like it.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jun 06 2023

This album always seemed way overrated to me. Its not bad, its just not all that amazing.

The Specials by The Specials
Jun 07 2023

Ska just isn't my thing. Really disliked this one.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jun 09 2023

I did not think I would like this, but turns out its fantastic!
