Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Aug 17 2023

It's like if slam poetry was on Prozac. Not my cup of tea for sure but doesn't mean it's not a good album. If you like any song that could be an intro to any Michael Cera movie than this is for you!

Aug 18 2023

One of those albums you can get lost in, which is a very rare thing these days.

Ramones by Ramones
Aug 21 2023

Almost 50 years since this album and they definitely started a generational trend. They put punk on the map and this album shows just how ahead of their time they were.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 22 2023
Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Aug 23 2023

It's that slow vocals vibe lounge singing vibe. Definitely makes you feel like you're sitting in the rain with flowers in your hand watching your high-school sweetheart kissing the quarterback of the football team vibes.

The Visitors by ABBA
Aug 30 2023

The best way I can describe ABBA is if Halloween music had class. They had their own vibe for sure and it's not bad at all but it is very 80s intro movie esq.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Aug 31 2023

You can never go wrong with listening to Bowie.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Sep 01 2023

This is a 2 hour, 2 disc album. Very psychedelic in sound and feeling. For a time when bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam were starting out and creating a new wave. These guys stayed the course with the love and peace, hippy sounds of the slow psychedelic Era that was big in the 70s. Take an edible, put on some headphones and get lost in the Organ.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Sep 04 2023

Definitely a trend setting album. They slowly started to turn the old blusey, big bopper swing, 60s rock n roll into their own sound. You can hear many different bands sounds from this one album.

Who's Next by The Who
Sep 05 2023

Baba O'Reilly is one of the best opening songs of any album of all time. This album is a classic rock hall of famer.

Black Metal by Venom
Sep 06 2023

It has that mix of 80s rock/metal and punk. If you remember this album you definitely still have an old leather jacket hanging in your closet. Not the best, but not the worst.

Sep 07 2023

The music is fine but listening to a live album from over 40 years ago just doesn't have the same luster as it once did. Poor choppy quality ruins what is essentially a greatest hits rock n roll/metal album.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Sep 08 2023

Ah yes. One of the original boy bands of America. Growing up with a Catholic Grandmother from California you had 2 constants in her house hold. Prayer and listening to Beach Boys vinyls. Both were over done and forced upon me as a kid. And both are over rated. Beach Boys had a certain sound but theyre essentially just an a Cappella band with extra steps. Every song is the same melody and harmonizing vocals. Which was cool 50-60 years ago but even growing up liking all kinds of music I could never appreciate what the Beach Boys had.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 11 2023

This Album will forever be in my top 5 of all time. Old school RHCP had it all and they went hard with this Album. Power of equality sets the tone for the entire album and it does not disappoint

The Specials by The Specials
Sep 12 2023

One of the original Ska bands to bring the genre to fruition. They weren't quite punk and weren't quite Reggae. You can definitely see "newer" bands were influenced by these guys. Guys like Catch 22, Reel Big Fish, Aquabats really took inspiration from The Specials. You don't need any herbal influence to enjoy these guys, but it helps.

Slayed? by Slade
Sep 13 2023

Pretty standard 70s British rock n roll album. Shirtless, flamboyant, and some very uneeded tambourines. I learned something new though. That Cum on Feel the Noize was originally theirs and Quiet Riot just made it better. But it's not a bad album or band. It's just if you've heard any glam rock song before you've heard them all, they all have the same vibe. I'm also glad tambourine solos are not a thing anymore.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Sep 14 2023

Nothing wrong with a little smooth jazz in your life. You want to make a baby. This is your album. You need to relax in a candle lit bath. Hugh's your man. This man pretty much invented Lofi beats to study to. It's a great album if you need something to just relax and soothe you.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Sep 15 2023

Mortorhead is definitely best enjoyed in moderation. Although the rock n roll riffs were always killer. Lemmy only had one note under his belt when singing and that's all you got. So enjoy it but you will realize you don't know where one song ends and the next begins as they all sound pretty similar

Odelay by Beck
Sep 18 2023

Top tier heist movie music. He's got his own sound and tends to lean a little more on the poppy side of the fence although there's some old school hip hop and rock riffs mixed in. I think Beck hits that balance pretty well which keeps the whole album pretty fresh and exciting

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Sep 19 2023

If Arctic Monkeys and Bowie had a love child. It has that old school Bowie vibe on each song and overall is a pretty refreshing album

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Sep 20 2023

If you ever wondered what a techo version of The Talking Heads sounded like. Look no further. Overall not bad. Very 80s techno.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Sep 21 2023

I wouldn't call this a music album. This is a performance. Ioved the energy and uniqueness of each song. It seriously felt like I was listening to Michael Jackson again. Loved everything about this album. Not quite pop, not quite jazz, not quite rock or rap or R&B. I'm definitely going to relisten to this album until I'm sick of it.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Sep 22 2023

Back in the saddle is probably one of my favorite all time rock n roll songs. Unfortunately the rest of the album doesn't really keep up and is pretty on par with any other rock album from the 70s

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Sep 25 2023

I'm not normally a fan of live albums from over 50 years ago. However this one is overall pretty clean quality wise. Very heavy rock blues type album. A little repetitive in their sound and 2 of the songs are just an hour long jam session. But overall not bad. It's not life changing music but it's definitely not bad music.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Sep 26 2023

Some fun DJ music. Not as heavy as let's say Daft Punk, but very heavy into incorporating samples into every song. It's fun seeing all the puzzle pieces come together to create music.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Oct 06 2023

Andre 3000 taking notes. If you need some relaxing music in your life. This is it.

Blur by Blur
Oct 09 2023

Imagine if David Bowie was punk rock. This has punk vibes to it but it is a "happy punk" if you will

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 10 2023

Rock n roll Randy Newman is pretty cool

Liquid Swords by GZA
Oct 11 2023

GZA is "The genius" for a reason. His flow and lyrics were years ahead of their time. This is that old school in your face rap from an actual MC. Not just a producer making a beat with a featuring artist singing into some autotune. So put on your headphones. Close your eyes. And listen to the story that this album tells.

Oct 12 2023

Very 1970s rock n roll. Even if you havnt heard this band or any songs on this album. They'll sound very familiar as early rock n roll bands hardly had any differentiating features. Decent album. But not for me.

Dec 18 2023

Pretty standard 70s rock album. I still think Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel had better solo albums after they left. That doesn't mean this a bad album by any means. It's just very 70s rock which in itself was never very unique.

1999 by Prince
Dec 19 2023

He was the goat in a lot of ways. Most of his albums have that nostalgic feeling to them.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Dec 20 2023

I would say this is kind of what grunge evolved into. This is like an alt rock version of Nirvana. A little grungey, a little poppy, a little bit of techno. Over all it all kind of meshes together well.
