Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Great album with some really incredible songs on it.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE

Good album. Definitely not what i expected from an album titled "Fromohio" from 1989. Wasn't a big fan of "Liberty for our friend", only real song on the album that wasnt great. The singer was good, but god damn the guitar and drums really brought it here.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Mar 05 2023

Some nice instrumental samples, pretty much all the vocal sample choices felt out of place. Overall the album feels best as background music

Revolver by Beatles
Mar 06 2023

Final two songs saved it for me along with Eleanor Rigby. Rest of the album was pretty dissapointing

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Mar 07 2023

Copied their style from the beatles, copied their lyrics from Bob Dylan (and others). Not as good as either, not even close

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Mar 09 2023

First half of the album is great. Never heard Bjork before, her voice is really interesting. Didnt enjoy the 2nd half so much, and the mans singing was really odd. Interested to hear Bjorks later work.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Mar 10 2023

Its like if the beatles didnt even try to be interesting or have ideas. The title song is incredible, just great. The rest is just very generic catchy rock that doesnt really say anything

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Mar 12 2023

Stressful music, not my style.

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 13 2023

Im not a big ABBA fan, but i liked the first song. And on the info about the album this is apparently a large departure from their normal work, so i was excited. And then the rest of the album was standard ABBA, but without being as catchy as some of the bands best work

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Mar 14 2023

It was good, but i know theres such better work by Frank Sinatra that this feels somewhat of a let down after i saw it come up on the site.

Mar 15 2023

Decent music, high energy. Everything sounds pretty much the same. Also feel like compilation albums shouldnt be on here as its kind of cheating, and not meant designed to be an album

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Mar 16 2023

Pretty good, very relaxing. Lacked a real stand out song imo

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Mar 17 2023

Excellent excellent album. Only listened to a very small amount of Joy Division before. What i learnt listening to this is that so many bands i like that came after Joy Division borrowed so much of their style. Just everything here is great. The singing, the heavy atmosphere. Just great

Mar 18 2023

Not great, even with the title song being good. The rest of the album is just so flat and boring.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 19 2023

Really excellent album. Great songs start to almost finish (wasnt a fan of the final one) And it had the song from the hit movie The Batman featuring Robert Pattinson, so thats good.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Mar 20 2023

Incredibly boring album, some decent guitar but thats about it.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Mar 21 2023

Excellent album, the Bowie influence is super clear (not less than when you can actually hear him) but Iggys singing is also fantastic. And The Passenger is just an all time great song.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 22 2023

Boring, dull, tedious

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 23 2023

This pretty much confirms my suspicion that Paul Simon is really good. And im going to blame all the bad parts of the album on the fact that Art Garfunkel thinks hes smarter than he is Voices of old people is just stupid.

Mar 24 2023

I didn't like Elbow when i first heard them in 2008. In the intervening 15 years a lot of my music tastes have changed. So i was willing to give them another go. And let me tell you, after all that time, they still absolutely suck ass.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Mar 25 2023

Real pleasant surprise, wasnt expecting to like this quite as much as i did. Just a great voice and nice calm music to listen to.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Mar 26 2023

Good album. Definitely not what i expected from an album titled "Fromohio" from 1989. Wasn't a big fan of "Liberty for our friend", only real song on the album that wasnt great. The singer was good, but god damn the guitar and drums really brought it here.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Mar 27 2023

Listened to this about 3 hours ago, already forgot almost everything. Just a completely forgettable and boring album.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Mar 28 2023

Really good album. As a huge fan of Gorillaz this felt similar to it. Also the album art is fantastic.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Mar 30 2023

Pretty boring album, not what i expected from the Bee Gees.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Mar 31 2023

Just over 20 albums in and this is easily the best one I've had so far. Incredible album top to bottom. Feel people dont realise how good a musician Ozzy was considering he might be more known for reality tv now. But hes excellent here. Ended up spending my entire day listening to Black Sabbaths entire discography and it was great

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Apr 02 2023

Pretty good, very relaxing and she has a great voice.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Apr 03 2023

1/5 why on earth is this even on this list at all

OK Computer by Radiohead
Apr 04 2023

Really great album.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Apr 05 2023

Good first 3 songs, guess they hoped those songs alone would sell the album because after that it gets reall bad real quick

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Apr 07 2023

Not such a fan of this as i am their later work. Theres signs of something to come, but just a bland album of some good blues covers

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Apr 08 2023

Not his best work, not a fan of the synth

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Apr 09 2023

Interesting album cover. Uninteresting music

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 10 2023

Not my favourite radiohead album ,but not the worst album ive ever heard

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Apr 11 2023

Really interesting, not a band id heard before but a real cool sound.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Apr 13 2023

Even a bad led zeppelin album is a great album, and this is far from a bad one. I got into Led Zeppelin from my dad, and this album has both his favourite and my favourite Led Zeppelin song in Gallows Pole and Tangerine. Also this managed to avoid any of the weirder songs they did when they sing about battles vs elves and shit.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Apr 14 2023

Great voice, kinda boring songs

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Apr 15 2023

Ive never really listened to Metallica before, i guess i was maybe expecting more? This was pretty decent, just nothing amazing.

The Bends by Radiohead
Apr 16 2023

This is a great great album. I think if all Radiohead sounded like this theyd be a lot more popular, but a lot less interesting overall

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 17 2023

Great album with some really incredible songs on it.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Apr 18 2023

Very tame album considering what i usually expect from the kinks. Felt more like a beatles ripoff than anything else. Sunny Afternoon is good though

Blackstar by David Bowie
Apr 19 2023

The writing is good, the percussion is good, but the reality is Bowie just cannot perform vocally on this album, which means too much is just using instruments to fill time. I understand that theres reasons for why he cant perform. But it just makes the album unlistenable for me, also Blackstar the song is just terrible.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 20 2023

A good album without being great, signs of whats to come from the band. Good Times Bad Times and Dazed and Confused are mega hits and deservedly so.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Apr 22 2023

Incredibly tedious boring and uninteresting. Longest 35 minutes of my life. If it wasn't for the Watchmen movie no one would know who Leonard Cohen is.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Apr 23 2023

Just a really bland and boring version of what a lot of bands at the time sounded like. Nothing really unique or interesting to say about it.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Apr 25 2023

Can't believe they managed to ruin their own songs by just refusing to move on after playing it for 7 minutes.

Document by R.E.M.
Apr 28 2023

Not their best work but still decent.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Apr 29 2023

Not a bad album, just doesnt live up to the classics.

No Other by Gene Clark
Apr 30 2023

I dont normally like this kind of music too much, this was a really great surprise. Very enjoyable album

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
May 01 2023

Great instrument playing, bit repetitive, kinda boring by the end.

Berlin by Lou Reed
May 02 2023

Not a fan

Dare! by The Human League
May 04 2023

The amount of listens each song has on spotify explains a lot of this album. Pretty bland aside from dont you want me.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
May 05 2023

Very weird mix of music, feel like its an album by two different bands. I do love White Rabbit a lot though, so that's always great to listen to.

Marquee Moon by Television
May 06 2023

Good album. Not a fan of a song being 10 minutes long, but at least its a good song.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
May 07 2023

Really good, more than just a one band wonder with White Stripes.

Forever Changes by Love
May 08 2023

Really enjoyable. Did not expect to enjoy this so much based on the album art and decade.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
May 09 2023

Pretty good, Master of Puppets (the song) was a banger. Rest is a little average.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
May 11 2023
Shaft by Isaac Hayes
May 15 2023
Dookie by Green Day
May 17 2023
Murmur by R.E.M.
