Ramones by Ramones
May 20 2023

Blitzkrieg Bob is punk anthem. Rest sounds very similar and not that special

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
May 22 2023

count bussing fr with the fire album cover favourites are: the kid from red bank, flight of the foo birds, teddy the toad, whirly bird and splanky

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
May 23 2023

wouldn't it be nice is the best song here. Rest is pretty similar sounding but enjoyable. Not my favourite type of music but not bad.

Green by R.E.M.
May 24 2023

Nice alt-rock. Nothing outstanding but overall very enjoyable.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
May 25 2023

Not a singer-songwriter guy. The first few songs are nice but I didn't really like the rest. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to the whole album again. Highlights: Allergies, Hearts and Bones, When Numbers get Serious

Moving Pictures by Rush
May 26 2023

Don't understand how this is supposed to be a prog-rock album except for YYZ. Still very good rock though. Highlights: Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, YYZ, The Camera Eye

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
May 27 2023

It being upbeat jazz makes it very easy to listen to. Sinatra's voice is also amazing here.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
May 28 2023

Has a few nice songs but most of them I couldn't enjoy. Plus the skits are just weird. Highlights: Konnichiwa, Shutdown, That's Not Me

En-Tact by The Shamen
May 29 2023

Average Dance album. A few good tracks but mostly forgettable and gets a bit boring. Highlights: Move any Mountain

Document by R.E.M.
May 30 2023

Better highs than on Green, but overall still the same. A lot of songs don't stand out but it's enjoyable rock nonetheless. Highlights: Finest Worksong, It's The End Of The World As We Know It, The One I Love

Clandestino by Manu Chao
May 31 2023

Shit bussing, very catchy and fun to listen to Highlights: Clandestino, Bongo Bong, Je ne t'aime plus

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jun 01 2023

Nice vocals and quality guitar jamming to some good blues. Very influential on Led Zeppelin and many other Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands. Highlights: Let Me Love You, You Shook Me, Rock My Plimsoul, Beck's Bolero

Jun 02 2023

Tainted Love stands way above the rest of the album, but still really nice. Highlights: Tainted Love

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jun 03 2023

For rap I mostly listen to East Cost, but Ice Cube is great. Liked the political messages of some of the songs. And the more laid-back ones are awesome! Highlights: Now I Gotta Wet 'Cha, It Was A Good Day

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jun 04 2023

Don't like the vocals and pretty much all of the songs are forgettable. I do like noisy rock and hardcore punk but no song on this album stands out that much. It's still fine to listen to but I won't be replaying it. Makes w´me wonder why it's part of the 1001 best albums. Highlights: Up Against The Wall Motherfucker, On The Lash, Caviar

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jun 05 2023

Amazing electronic music album that influenced countless others after it. It has a cold dystopian feel to it, but at the same time more poppy songs like Das Modell convey a lighter atmosphere. Both the English and German versions are awesome. Together with Computerwelt this is the peak of Kraftwerk. Highlights: Die Roboter, Metropolis, Das Modell, Neonlicht

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 06 2023

Very funky and psychedelic album, liked it a lot! Highlights: Maggot Brain, Can You Get to That

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jun 07 2023

Nice New Wave album, very easy listening and fun pop Highlights: Our Lips Are Sealed, Lust To Love, This Town, We Got The Beat

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jun 08 2023

Really nice voice and rapping. Cool basslines. Highlights: Offence, Boss, Selfish

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jun 09 2023

Sandy Denny carries this album. Most songs did not struck with me but a few of the rockier folk are pretty nice. Highlights: Autopsy, A Sailor's Life, Who Knows Where The Time Goes?

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 10 2023

Don't like country that much but this album has some nice laid back rock songs. Highlights: Down by the River, Running Dry, Cowgirl in the Sand

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Jun 11 2023

Awesome fusion of early punk and glam rock. Really good Highlights: Personality Crisis, Looking for a Kiss, Trash, Jet Boy

Melodrama by Lorde
Jun 12 2023

Not my type of music at all, none of the songs stood out to me and overall just boring. Sounds pretty much the same as every other modern pop album although it does have good sound production Highlights: Green Light

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 13 2023

Listening to his voice gets tiring after half an hour. Didn't enjoy most of the slow songs, but that's the case with many singer-songwriter albums for me. Would give it a 2.5/5 Highlights: Badlands, Streets Of Fire, Prove It All Night

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 14 2023

Very overplayed album but still one of the best of the 90s with a lot of influence on artists after it. 4.5/5 for me, it's a comfort album I return to a few times each year Highlights: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, Lithium, Territorial Pissing

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jun 15 2023

Good punk album and a classic, but not one of my favourites. Since many of the tracks so damn short there's no time for musical buildup, compared to Crass or Subhumans this makes the music less enjoyable. Still good fun though! Highlights: Beverly Hills, Operation, Live Fast Die Young, Group Sex

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 16 2023

Some neat new wave tracks but also many songs that don't stand out. Very light on the punk though. I think that would've made the album a bit more interesting. Highlights: Stop your Sobbing

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Jun 18 2023

I prefer "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" but this album is also good. 3.5/5 Highlights: You Know It's True, Take your Time, Shine a Light

Hms Fable by Shack
Jun 19 2023

Oasis but bland. Sounds no different from any other pop album of the time. Honestly don't understand why it's on here

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jun 20 2023

Classic Hard Rock album but in my opinion not the best of AC/DC as I prefer Dirty Deeds. Still great to listen to and the last with Bon Scott's amazing vocals. 3.5/5 Highlights: Highway To Hell, Touch Too Much, If You Want Blood (You've Got It)

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Jun 21 2023

There are some very good and pretty depressing songs like Awful and Dying but also others that I did not care about. Overall enjoyable though. Highlights: Awful, Hit So Hard, Dying, Northern Star

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 22 2023

Amazing pop rock album full of classics. Both vocals and instrumentals sound great. The second half is a bit weaker but still good. 4.5/5 Highlights: Never Going Back Again, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way, The Chain, Gold Dust Woman

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 23 2023

Very good album. Has some great songs and some that are good.3.5/4 Highlights: Revolution Blues, On the Beach

Revolver by Beatles
Jun 24 2023

absolute classic comfort album

Vocals are great, instrumentation also solid. I liked the first few tracks most but the rest is also nice. Hihglights: Big Exit, Good Fortune, A Place Called Home, This Is Love

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Jun 26 2023

Catchy funky pop. Enjoyable but not outstanding in any way. The second half is noticably weaker than the first. Highlights: Love Plus One

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jun 28 2023

You Want It Darker is a great song but I didn't enjoy the rest of the album nearly as much. Still a great accomplishment considering Leonard Cohen's age at the time of recording. Highlights: You Want It Darker

Picture Book by Simply Red
Jun 29 2023

There are some very catchy singles but I didn't feel that way about everything on the album. Some songs are pretty dull compared to the hits which weakens the album's structure as a whole. Highlights: Money's Too Tight To Mention, Holding Back The Years

Jul 01 2023

Highlights: If I Should Fall From Grace With God, Turkish Song of the Damned, Fairytale of New York Gets very repetitive after a few songs

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 02 2023

absolute classic

Low-Life by New Order
Jul 03 2023

Highlights: Love Vigilantes, The Perfect Kiss, This Time of Night, Sunrise, Elegia My favourite New Order album. Elegia is such a beautiful song
