Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Mar 30 2023

Very fun album. Quite a range of tracks, but all definitively Cuban. Not every track is a winner, but still certainly worth a listen.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 31 2023

Not his best album, but his debut album is still a significant moment in rock and roll history. Gotta give respect where respect is due.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Apr 01 2023

One of the best rock albums of all time. An absolute must-listen. The flute has never been so cool.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Apr 02 2023

I appreciate the huge success this album achieved, it's just a bit too modern pop for my tastes. Couple of tolerable tracks, but overall, meh.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Apr 03 2023

Very cool, jazzy, instrumental hip-hop. Fun variety of tunes, definitely worth a listen.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Apr 04 2023

Marvin's got soul, there's no denying that. A couple of songs were a little leaning, but overall a great album.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Apr 05 2023

Not bad, but not much variety throughout. Mad props for what they've accomplished, just not quite for me.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Apr 06 2023

Interesting alt rock album. Not quite my tempo.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Apr 07 2023

Not a bad indie rock album, I'm just a bit picky about albums that feature a bunch of short songs, and this doesn't check all of my boxes.

Apr 08 2023

Very fun "outlaw country" album with great storytelling. Not every song is a winner, but a few tracks (Big Iron, Master's Call) pick up the slack. Worth a listen.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Apr 09 2023

Very raw 60s garage rock. A few more covers than I like to see on an album, but they do add a fun grittiness to everything they do.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Apr 10 2023

Very cool album! Not quite my style, but it is a shame Neneh didn't reach the popularity of others of her era (Prince, Madonna, etc.).

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Apr 11 2023

Jazz perfection. What else is there to say?

Truth by Jeff Beck
May 12 2023

Guitar legend and a hell of a blues musician. He will be missed. The only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars are the, in my opinion, subpar covers on this album. They just felt a little out of place.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
May 13 2023

Fantastic early 90s rap album. A masterpiece of it's time.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
May 14 2023

Certainly tolerable, and Costello is certainly a damn fine songwriter, I'm just not a fan.

May 15 2023

Fine indie rock album, not my favorite in the world.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
May 16 2023

One of Bowie's finest. What a masterpiece of songwriting.

Harvest by Neil Young
May 17 2023

Fine songwriter, a couple of great songs, but overall not my cup of tea.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
May 18 2023

Took a while to get onboard, but ended up liking this album a bit. Not amazing, but definitely worth the journey.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
May 19 2023

Incredible funk album. A little repetitive, but a banger start to finish.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
May 26 2023

Very fun album. Very interesting to hear such a heavy American influence (blues, country, etc.) from the British rock legends.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
May 27 2023

A couple hits, but I'm not as much of a fan of their deep cuts. Their harmonies are great, but most of the album is a lot less energy than I would've expected from the Beach Boys. Still worth a listen.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
May 28 2023

Very fun album. Much jazzier than I was expecting. Lots of sax. A couple absolute bangers, but the whole album is very enjoyable.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
May 29 2023

Fun South African album, very easy listening. Except for "One More Dance", I liked just about every track.

Liquid Swords by GZA
May 30 2023

Not a bad album, it just didn't connect with me as other rap albums from this era.

With The Beatles by Beatles
May 31 2023

Great early Beatles album. Good ol classic Brit pop.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jun 01 2023

I was blown away by this album! What a mix of rock, blues, jazz, and many other influences. There are one or two weaker tracks, but overall, a must listen.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jun 08 2023

Very interesting album. "Folk jazz" is how it was described to me, and as odd as it sounds, it fits. Not exactly my cup of tea, just certainly a worthwhile experience.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jun 09 2023

Very relaxing album. Not my usual cup of tea, but I certainly appreciate the composition and overall flow of the album.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 10 2023

Very unique "electronic pop" album. There's nothing quite like LCD Soundsystem.

Jun 11 2023

I'm usually not one for experimental rock, but this album was a blast. Definitely worth the experience.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jun 12 2023

Interesting album, kind of a transitional album from rock to punk. Not every song is great, but there are definitely a couple of entertaining songs.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jun 13 2023

Fine indie rock album. A bit of variety, but still fairly generic, IMO.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jun 14 2023

Neat Brazilian album. A lot of fun tracks, a lot of slow and heartfelt tracks. Not exactly my jam, but I certainly appreciate it.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 15 2023

Cool album! I liked this one better than the other one of this list (The Suburbs).

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 18 2023

Very fun debut album.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Jun 27 2023

Fun folk-rock album, bordering the progressive side. Not every song was a winner, but overall worth a listen.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jun 28 2023

Wonderful live blues album. Muddy Waters is not my favorite blues musician, but there is no doubt he is a true source of inspiration for the genre.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jun 30 2023

Very entertaining R&B album. Great guest vocalists, interesting talk tracks between songs, overall pretty good! I'm just not the biggest fan of R&B.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jul 01 2023

Excellent indie rock album. Jack White is a hook machine. Though is uniqueness does become a bit repetitive.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jul 02 2023

What a ride! A bit off-putting and surely ridiculous, but it's worth the experience.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jul 03 2023

Very chill, almost minimalist rock. A couple very weird tracks, but I enjoyed them all. Nothing earth shattering though.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jul 04 2023

He's an odd one, but a hell of a songwriter.

Jul 05 2023

Absolutely delightful. What a fun double album. Very cool to essentially see two solo albums considered one collective band album. Definitely a must-listen.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Mar 14 2024

Decent blues album, but honestly fairly generic in my opinion. Clapton has a great time, but not overly impressed by his chops.

Mar 17 2024

Easy listening electronic ambient album. Aphex Twin is a true trailblazer. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I enjoyed and appreciate it.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Mar 18 2024

Excellent slice of history. I really enjoy Public Enemy's use of sampling. Definitely a power duo.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Mar 19 2024

A fine example of '60s soul, though a touch on the repetitive side. A couple tracks got mighty funky though.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Mar 20 2024

I love this album! Definitely experimental, but has enough familiar elements to keep it from going off the rails. It's not perfect, but definitely worth a listen.

Mar 21 2024

Great electronic album. I truly didn't hate a single song though not all of them a certified banners. Plenty of catchy hooks, some fun sampling, overall a good time.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 22 2024

Accomplished songwriting, just not quite my cup of tea.

Mar 23 2024

Not a big fan of U2, but this is a fine album.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 24 2024

Fun and quirky blues album.

Nowhere by Ride
Mar 25 2024

Pretty cool album, but shoegaze is not really my thing.

Revolver by Beatles
Mar 26 2024

Not my favorite Beatles album, but it's still the Beatles.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Mar 27 2024

Pretty wild punk album! Not every track was a banger, but a lot of fun instrumentation.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Mar 28 2024

Much more avant garde than I was expecting. Some cool ideas, interesting instrumentation, but overall, I didn't enjoy this album terribly.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Aug 21 2025

Excellent soul album!

Who's Next by The Who
Aug 23 2025

Excellent album! One or two tracks I can't live without, but plenty of hits to make this a classic.

Spiderland by Slint
Aug 24 2025

Crazy album! It's difficult to make such discordance sound so enjoyable. Truly a culturally significant album.

Third by Soft Machine
Jul 24 2026

Very cool prog rock/jazz album! A bit more avant garde in places than I was expecting, especially for 1970. It's not perfect, but pretty close.

Tommy by The Who
Jul 25 2026

Decent concept album (the album as a whole is alright and the movie is a trip), though there aren't many individual tracks that stand out or hold up on their own.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jul 26 2026

One of the Doors' best albums, in my opinion. Doesn't contain many of their "hits", but this blues-heavy gem is consistent from start to finish. A must-listen.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 27 2026

I'm not a huge fan of the Boss. That being said, though I thought the start and, to a lesser extent, the end of the album was a bit weak, the tracks in the middle were pretty good. He's a fine songwriter, just not my cup of tea.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jul 28 2026

Jazz doesn't get cooler than this.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Jul 29 2026

Very easy listening. Never listened to Young much, not exactly my style, but I could see this growing on me.

Jul 30 2026

Excellent hip-hop album. Very clean, incredibly diverse, fun guest artists, powerful lyrics.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 31 2026

I'm not usually a big fan of post-punk, but this was a bit of a refreshing entry in the genre with a unapologetic gothic flair. The start of the album was relatively weak, but I felt it kept getting a bit darker and a bit weirder throughout.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Aug 01 2026

Pleasantly surprised by this album! I only knew their hits, which are a bit too pop for my liking, but a lot of this album rocks!

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Aug 02 2026

Great album. Classic indie rock with plenty of weird thrown in.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 06 2026

Amazing album! Can't believe I've been sleeping on Radiohead for so long.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 12 2026

Solid disco album! The titular track is fine, but far from my favorite song which was a pleasant surprise.
