Popular Reviews

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

Has some good songs. Aggressively ‘80s. Her voice is kind of grating at times. 3/5 Might listen again

Music From Big Pink by The Band

A masterpiece. Each song is great in its own right, and having multiple band members have lead vocals throughout the album adds to the overall greatness of this album. It’s just so good. 5/5 Listen often

Another album that is only relevant for one song. I'm sure this was a big hit in Great Britain in the 80's, but some songs on this album are just laughably bad. 2/5 Won't listen again

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

A highly influential early 90's rap album. I am a big fan of P-Funk, so the G-Funk beats are fantastic. Parts of this album haven;t aged well, and Snoop Dogg is basically the one rapping on most songs, but it is a overall good album. "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" is one of the great rap songs. 3.5/5 Will listen again.

All Ratings (1072)

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Aug 16 2023

"Where is my Mind?" seems out of place with the rest of this album. I kind of preferred the frantic nature of the other songs. 4/5 would listen again.

Arrival by ABBA
Aug 17 2023

Disco isn't for everyone and this album certainly has its dull moments. But the songs that work well have a good mix of standard disco beats and some euro flair. 3/5 Would listen to the hits.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Aug 18 2023

A masterpiece. The first half of the album bounces back and forth between the serene and the silly. Some of the greatest songs ("Come Together, "Something", "Here Comes the Sun") ever written on the same playing field of some of The Beatles more ridiculous ("Maxwell's Silver Hammer", "Octupus's Garden"). Then we are hit with the Medley which is just wonderful. Each song working into each other, but somehow can be enjoyed as a standalone track. And then a little reminder to not take things to seriously they end with "Her Majesty", which serves as a great encore. This is The Beatles at their best, pop music at its finest. 5/5 Would listen again. One of the absolute best.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Aug 19 2023

Overall pretty good. The songs are relatively short and kind of just come at you with breakneck speed. They all sound similar and this album lacks overall depth, but this is a historical moment in music and so old its hard to judge it on a more modern criteria. 3.5/5 Good but probably wouldn't listen again.

Aug 19 2023

Overall pretty good. The theme is prevalent throughout the album and although there are a few songs that could stand as singles, this is better as a whole. 3/5 May listen again

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Aug 20 2023

Not bad, but nothing really special right here. Everything sounds similar and even the most popular song on the album underwhelms. The mood throughout is consistent and the dark melodies are fine, just not my style. 3/5 Probably wont listen again

Aug 21 2023

A true classic. As hip-hop goes this is as good as it gets. Everything is there for this to be one of the great albums of all time, but the group (especially Q-Tip) just needed a little more experience. The following two albums prove that. This album is like the painting before the mona lisa, and everything here gets expanded on in the near future to perfection. 5/5 Will listen too repeatedly.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 22 2023

Mostly gritty southern rock. The 2 singles are more polished, and the rest of the album sounds like it could have been recorded in a barn (in a good way). On the shorter side, but it was nice to hear some CCR songs that aren't on the chronicles album. Not the strongest throughout, but liked the album. 3.5/5. Would listen again

The Doors by The Doors
Aug 23 2023

Great psychedelic blues. heavy on the organ. SO much great stuff going on with this album, just misses a little bit. "The End" kind of rambles too long. Really like "Back Door Man", great mix of Morrison's vocals and the guitar/organ combination. 4/5 Would listen again.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Aug 24 2023

Enjoyable if not underwhelming at times. It really grows as the album goes on. British Pop-esque vocals mixed with 90's light alternative music. Lyrics don't really say anything, kind of generic. Nothing bad about the album, just doesn't jump out at all. 3/5 Would maybe listen again.

Aug 25 2023

I think this is a masterpiece, but on the scale of Beatles albums I think this one has some real misses on it. There are some truly top notch psychedelic pop songs on this record, and there are some songs that are just a little too weird at times. "With a Little Help From My Friends", "Getting Better", and "When I'm Sixty Four" are some of my favorite Beatles songs ever. 5/5 Will listen again repeatedly.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Aug 26 2023

Classic power cord arena rock. The songs are simple both musically and lyrically, but remain mostly fun. 3/5 would listen to the hits again

Moondance by Van Morrison
Aug 27 2023

Filled with some great songs. Love the jazz influence on the album and "Come Running" and "These Dreams of You" are favorites. "Caravan" is great as well, but I prefer the Last Waltz version more. Overall solid album, my only issue is that its a style of music I have to really be in the mood for to want to listen to it. 4/5 Will definitely listen again

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Aug 29 2023

Overall a very good album, with some of Dylan's greatest songs. However, some of the tracks lack a certain distinguishness from each other. 4/5 Would listen again

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Aug 30 2023

Over the top outrageous. The songs that hit are fun but still musically impressive. The songs that miss, just kind of feel flat. But, the whole album works as a concept. 4/5 Would listen again

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Aug 31 2023

Not my cup of tea, but Dolly's voice is truly great. "Here I am" is a good song. 2/5 Would not listen again.

Sep 01 2023

Started out slow, every song kind of sounds the same, then grows towards the end of the album. The instruments are good, but I didn't like the singers voice as much. 3.5/5 Would probably listen again

Ramones by Ramones
Sep 02 2023

Starts fast and never lets up. Although the songs are short, they never seem to shortchange the listener, they are exactly as long as they need to be. 4/5 Would listen again

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Sep 03 2023

the overall theme of this album is important and relevant even today, but must of been a real shock when it was released. Chuck D has some great bars across this album, and he and Flava Flav work well together, almost like what a rap concert is like. But some of the songs are just strange and don't really work. 3/5 Will listen to a few tracks again

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Sep 04 2023

Bland and uninspiring, not sure how it made it to the list. 1/5 Won't listen again

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Sep 05 2023

Cornell's voice is great, but some of the songs are flat and repetitive. The hit songs are good, but that's about it. 3/5 Would listen to the hits off this again

Sep 06 2023

It isn't bad, it just isn't good enough to captivate for the entirety of the album. Some of the musical sections are pretty good, just not enough. 3/5 Would listen to as background music

Mask by Bauhaus
Sep 07 2023

This kind of music is really hot or miss with me. This one was a miss. I liked "Harry" though, good groove. 2/5 Wouldn't listen again....except "Harry"

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Sep 08 2023

Neither here nor there. Doesn't do anything good or bad, just kind of is. Some songs near the end are pretty good, but just not enough on the album to make it good. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Sep 10 2023

Overall not much to this album except "Take on me". Everything else falls short of relevance. 2/5 Won't listen again

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Sep 11 2023

Slow and boring. I think the lyrics are poignant, but delivered so dully it makes it hard to enjoy them. 2/5 Won't listen again

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Sep 12 2023

Interesting. There is so much to like about the beats, lyrical content and the general feeling of the album. However, it just sounds too sporadic and made for a modern audience with a short attention span. 3.5/5 May revisit later.

Hms Fable by Shack
Sep 13 2023

Got better towards the end, but overall just not very interesting. Very generic and non offensive. 2.75/5 Won't listen again

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Sep 14 2023

I like the bluesy feel of this album. Can see why Janis and Pigpen got along so well. Her vocals are truly unique, but sometimes get tiring. 3.5/5 Would listen again

Sep 15 2023

Some tracks are interesting, some are unbelievably boring, and it seems like they alternate the whole album, making it not find its rhythm. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again.

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 16 2023

Can really hear the push back form the band to the fame they garnered from "Nevermind". The album is a mix of really polished tunes and some real rough cuts, especially the songs that were not destined for radio. Overall really enjoyed it. 3.75/5 Would listen to most of it again.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Sep 17 2023

Tries to do some really interesting things, but much of it just never lands. Lyrically strange, but not in a fun or compelling way. Musically wants to be innovative, but never fully commits to make it. 2/5 Won't listen again

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Sep 18 2023

Vocals are clearly the highlight here, which the music only serves as a vehicle for. Although I can appreciate the vocal talent, this just didn't do much for me. "Fistful of Love" was good. 2.5/5 Wouldn't listen again

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Sep 19 2023

Brilliant! This album grooves like no other. "Watermelon Man" is one of the great instrumental songs of all time. I just saw Herbie live 5 days ago, and he is still amazing. Closed the show with "Chameleon", and overall was just wonderful. 5/5 One of my favorites

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Sep 20 2023

Really wants to be Public Enemy, but missing the production value. This has the production of something found on soundcloud if made today. Like the message of the songs, just wish it was musically better and Franti's vocals flowed better. Crazy to think where he is now, making music akin to the Wiggles for adults. 3/5 Probably wouldn't listen again

Different Class by Pulp
Sep 21 2023

Lyrics aren’t interesting and delivered in a strange unsatisfying way. Musically nothing special. Overall not very good, trying too hard and not doing it successfully. 1/5 Won’t listen again

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Sep 22 2023

Liked this more than I thought I would. Not a great album, but has moments that are interesting. Hard to relate to some of the material that is very much geared towards a British audience. Liked the message in "Meat is Murder". 3/5 Good, but probably won't listen again

GREY Area by Little Simz
Sep 23 2023

Overall I though this was pretty good. Not my favorite kind of rap, but Simzs' lyrics are strong and wise beyond her years. 3/5 Would maybe listen again

Sep 24 2023

Felt like this is what Coldplay wishes it sounded like. 3/5 Would maybe listen again

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 25 2023

I have kind of avoided Fleetwood Mac throughout the years, and though I can appreciate this album, I just don't love it. Some of the songs, the music and lyrics are just bland, However, I did enjoy this more than I thought I would. Overall, pretty good and a very clean and clear record. 4/5 Probably won't listen again

Sep 26 2023

Overall really liked this. Sounds a lot like Rubber Soul or Revolver, just missing the standout tracks that those albums have. 3.5/5 Would listen again

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Sep 27 2023

Not bad. Not my favorite kind of music, but albums like this are tough because you really have to be in the right mood to enjoy it. None of the songs stood out over the rest. 3/5 Probably won't listen again.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Sep 28 2023

Surprised that so many people reviewing on here are not fans of live albums. This one is decent, it predates a lot of the Who's more exploratory songs, but there are elements of that music here towards the end of the record. The rhythm section really shines on this one. 3.5/5 May listen again

Low by David Bowie
Sep 29 2023

I like some of Bowie's work. I did not care for this. 1.5/5 Won't listen again

Low-Life by New Order
Sep 30 2023

Relatively generic, seemingly over produced. Nothing notable lyrically. 2/5 Won't listen again

GI by Germs
Oct 01 2023

Bass is great on the album. Songs aren't particularly memorable, but overall I enjoyed the energy. 3/5 Might listen again

Diamond Life by Sade
Oct 02 2023

Nothing particularly great about this album. "Smooth Operator" has become relevant again because of social media, but this album as a whole isn't very interesting. 2/5 Won't listen again

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Oct 03 2023

It is just so unbelievable great. 5/5 Frequently listen to

Horses by Patti Smith
Oct 04 2023

Pretty forgettable. 2/5 Won't listen again

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Oct 05 2023

Never heard of this before. Not my favorite style of music, but I liked it in the end. 3/5 Might listen again

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Oct 06 2023

The harmonies are great, and I can see why so many people love this bands music, but I found it to be largely repetitive. 3/5 Might listen to again

Brothers by The Black Keys
Oct 07 2023

Knew more songs off of this album than I thought I would. Overall the album is good, but the hits songs really do most of the work, and most of the album never really excites. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Oct 08 2023

I like ska. But this was kind of boring. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Oct 09 2023

Moody electronic. Not really my thing. Not enough variety or change of pace to make it overall interesting. 2/5 Won't listen again

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Oct 10 2023

Nothing really compares to it. This is the peak of funk music and of Parliament. It is decadent and absurd and weird, but the grooves are so great and the albums ability to move (or remove) you is incredible. I absolutely love it. 5/5 Listen to it frequently

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Oct 11 2023

Very boring. Sounds like the soundtrack to a made for TV kids movie in the 90's, but not a good one. 1/5 Won't listen again

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Oct 12 2023

Enjoyed this one. The long version of "Phoenix" was a little much, but overall liked the groove of the album. 3.5/5 Would listen again

War by U2
Oct 14 2023

Started strong, but never really went anywhere interesting. 3/5 Won't listen again

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Oct 15 2023

Kind of a tough album to just sit down and listen to. Sounds like the soundtrack to an old animated horror movie, and I think would be more interesting if accompanied by some sort of visual medium. 2/5 Won't listen again

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Oct 16 2023

This builds so well after "People's Instinctive Travels...". The beats, lyrics, and delivery are all more refined in their sophomore album. I know some people rate this as their best, which I will disagree with, as 'Midnight Marauders" is the greatest hip-hop album of all time. However, this one is up there in the all time greats form this genre of music. A absolute classic. 5/5 Listen all the time

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Oct 17 2023

Pretty good. Some of Young's classic solo tunes are on this album. Not the biggest fan of him, but I do enjoy his music at times. Really like the guitar work throughout. 3.5/5 May listen again

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 18 2023

Surprised by how may songs I knew off this album, having never listening to it in full before. Overall, the album is okay, some of the songs I have never heard before were not the best, and the bands struggle to keep its funk roots alive while also making pop music is prevalent. Some lyrics are weird, or even nonsensical, but the album is fun and light. 3/5 Might listen to the hits again

Calenture by The Triffids
Oct 19 2023

Bland. 1/5 Won't listen again

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Oct 20 2023

Gritty, straight to the point blues. "La Grange" is the most popular song, but for me "Jesus Just Left Chicago" is the real highlight. 3.5/5 Would listen again

Oct 21 2023

Their sound is so distinct within the world of rap music. Really enjoyed the beats and the lyrical delivery, just not a huge fan of the skit type talking in the beginning of songs. 4/5 Would listen again

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 22 2023

One of the truly great reggae albums. Love the early mix with Tosh, Wailer and Marley. It is easy to forget just how great they were and how polished Marley became as an artist. 4/5 Will listen again

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Oct 23 2023

I found this to be better than I expected. 3/5 Might listen again

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Oct 24 2023

Not bad, but not necessarily good either. Songs are fine, but nothing special. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 25 2023

Not just boring and repetitive, but also the two long form "songs towards the end were just bad. 1/5 Won't listen again

Oct 26 2023

Appreciate the significance of this album, but it just didn't fully click for me. I wanted to love it, but a few of the songs were a little too unrefined. "Express Yourself" is an absolute top tier rap song though. 3.5/5 Will probably listen again

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Oct 27 2023

Nothing spectacular about the album, but you can obviously hear the influence it has on punk/alt music in the future. Covers of some noticeable oldies were fun, but not noteworthy. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Pretenders by Pretenders
Oct 28 2023

Only knew the one song from before, but overall liked the album. Not really anything that stood out, but easy ti listen too. 3/5 Might listen too again

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Oct 29 2023

Pleasant music. Something you would listen to laying in a field of flowers. 3.5/5 Would listen to again

Marquee Moon by Television
Oct 30 2023

First time listening to this, but have been aware of it for a while now. Really delivers. Enjoyed so much of this. 4.5/5

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Oct 31 2023

Was okay. Not super impressed by the music. 2.5/5 Probably wont listen again

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 01 2023

Not really a style of music that I frequently enjoy. Was an odd mix of upbeat dance type music and some really sad lyrics. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Nov 02 2023

A little slow for me at times, but her voice truly is one of a kind. Would work well in certain scenarios. 3/5 Might listen again.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Nov 03 2023

There is a lot of good stuff going on here, but it gets a little repetitive. Most of the songs sound too similar, but at least they are good. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Violator by Depeche Mode
Nov 04 2023

Kind of strange industrial pop music. Not really my kind of thing. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Nov 06 2023

Great mix of rock and blues with some classic well known songs. May be overplayed these days, but still holds up in the end. 3.5/5 Would listen again.

Odelay by Beck
Nov 07 2023

Have always really enjoyed this album. Some of the songs are just a little too strange and don’t really flow well with the rest of the album. But there are some absolutely great songs here. 4/5 Will listen again.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Nov 08 2023

Really appreciated the attempt at making a continuous album. The album is indulgent, but not always in a good way. 3/5 Would listen again

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 09 2023

Probably Bob’s best produced and well known album. The songs are great and feature some of his best work, though I prefer some of his other stuff more. 4.5/5 Will listen again

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Nov 10 2023

The end of the great first 4 albums by the band. Not as complete as Puppets or Lightning, but as overall pretty good. 3.5/5 Would listen again

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Nov 11 2023

Lovely music. Mostly laid back, but really finishes with a flurry. I am starting to listen to more jazz and in some moments it just doesn't work for me, but this was great. 3.5/5 Will likely listen again

Nov 12 2023

There some good parts of this album, but there were also some that were a little too strange. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Nov 13 2023

Some interesting psychedelic songs on here, very reminiscent of the Grateful Dead and that era of music. Some of it is kind of boring though. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

S&M by Metallica
Nov 14 2023

Interesting concept. It doesn’t always work, but it has some songs that really work with the orchestra. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Nov 16 2023

Not really my thing, overall did not enjoy it. 1/5 Won’t listen again

Debut by Björk
Nov 17 2023

This was surprising. I am not too familiar with Bjork’s music and this was the first time I have ever intently listened to it. I liked this more than I would have thought. Her vocals are truly something special. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Guero by Beck
Nov 18 2023

I always think his albums will be too strange, and they usually are not. They always manage to straddle the line. I liked this one. 3.5/5 Would listen again

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Nov 19 2023

Really pleasant and beautiful music, just kind of difficult to listen to in one sitting. Enjoyed it, but it’s an album you need to be in the mood for. 3/5 Might listen again

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Nov 20 2023

Interesting stripped down album by Van. I liked the songs, but everything was a little too slow. 3/5 Might listen again

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Nov 21 2023

I don’t know, this one we kind of fun. Didn’t expect to know any songs or enjoy this album, but in the end I did. 3/5 Might listen to a few songs again

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Nov 22 2023

A little too outlandish for me. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Nov 23 2023

If you ever wondered what Bob Dylan would sound like if he was a bard in the Middle Ages, here’s your chance. I think you have to be a certain kind of high to really enjoy this album. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Nov 24 2023

One of the only PF albums I thoroughly enjoy. “Have a Cigar” is probably my favorite song of theirs. 4/5 Would listen again

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Nov 25 2023

Overall enjoyed it. Sometimes bands like Radiohead a hit or miss with me. I like some stuff, but occasionally it sounds like ambient noise. This one I liked, but not enough to make it a regular listen. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Odessa by Bee Gees
Nov 26 2023

Nothing really great about this album, but it is so much better than Trafalgar, which I have previously listened to on this list. There are a couple of songs that are at least passable as good music. I kind of liked "Marley Purt Drive". 2/5 Won't listen again

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Nov 27 2023

Most of this album is weird instrumentals that kind of seem like Zeno just trying things out in the studio. The few songs with lyrics are also not that spectacular. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Nov 28 2023

Some of Dylan’s best work. The songs are great and really flow well together on the album. 4.5/5 Will listen again

Nov 29 2023

Just an odd cadence, and the lyrics don't really resonate with me. Most of the beats on the album are lacking as well. Not a completely terrible album, but also just not very good. 2/5 Won't listen again

Moon Safari by Air
Nov 30 2023

Liked the album, just not as upbeat of a dance record as I would want. 3/5 Might listen again

Dec 01 2023

The drums really stick out to me on this album. The songs are pretty standard, but that is to be expected with when this was released. Overall, thought it was enjoyable. 3/5 Would listen again

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Dec 02 2023

Some classic CCR songs on this album. My favorite, and maybe favorite CCR song ever is "Lodi". The album tends to not differentiate much from song to song, but is still pretty good. 3.5/5 Would listen again

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Dec 03 2023

Just a strange pick for a list of albums you "have" to listen to. Son of the tracks were listenable, but this album is filled with weird music with background chatter and other noises. 1/5 Won't listen again

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Dec 04 2023

Was excited to listen to this, but in the end was let down. I usually really like this kind of music, but this album really lacked something. It misses a few real standout songs. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 05 2023

At times it sounds like you are in the studio with the band, listening to them play. It does ramble a little, but this is probably the most authentic of his albums to come out during Hendrix's time on earth. His guitar playing is still just so raw and unparalleled. 4/5 Will listen again

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Dec 06 2023

Pretty generic. Really nothing particularly special about this album. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Dec 07 2023

Not very impressed. I like some of West’s earlier work, but found this to be a little too over the top. The beats are uniquely him, which kind of saves the album for me, but the lyrics are just not impressive. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Real Life by Magazine
Dec 08 2023

Really liked this one. I can see where this influenced a lot of music after it came out. This is the kind of album I was hoping to be introduced to when listening to this list. 4/5 Will listen again

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Dec 09 2023

I like soul music. I liked this album. Was not familiar with Burke, but the album sounds great, just missing a few really spectacular songs. 3.5/5 Will probably listen again

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Dec 10 2023

The music on this album is incredible. Great bass and keyboard playing, as well as the horns (such a necessary and great addition). So much funk and soul. 3.5/5 Will probably listen again

Atomizer by Big Black
Dec 11 2023

Wanted to like this, but had a hard time with the industrial sound. The effects were really rough on the ears. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Dec 12 2023

Love some much on this album, but this lacks a little to put it in the category with Speaking in Tongues or Remain in Light. Still a great album. 4/5 Will listen again

Dec 13 2023

Great album. Has some of the best work that Skynyrd has done. “Gimme Three Steps” is just a great track and obviously “Freebird” and “Tuesdays Gone” and classics. 4/5 Will listen again

Dec 14 2023

A great live record showcasing JB as a rockstar. Wasn’t familiar with any of the songs, and I prefer JB’s eventual pathway to funk music, but a great listen still. 3.5/5 Would listen again

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Dec 15 2023

Not incredibly interesting. The music was at least passable, but the lyrics were just boring, especially with that delivery. 2/5 Won't listen again

Dec 16 2023

Great album. So many great songs, and it really bridges the gap from '77 to the more afrobeat influenced albums to follow. "Found a Job" is a personal favorite. 4.5/5 Will definitely listen again

Let It Be by The Replacements
Dec 17 2023

Liked the album, thought some of the songs lacked a bit. 3/5 Might listen again

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Dec 18 2023

Overall the album was underwhelming. I’ve heard that “Mr. Brightside” is one of my generation’s favorite songs, but I don’t have a connection with it. I did like that the bass was turned up in the mix though. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Queen II by Queen
Dec 19 2023

Strange concept album. Was not aware of its existence. Songs were fine, but nothing was noteworthy. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Dec 20 2023

Loved this. “Birdland” is obviously a staple of jazz music but this album is so much more than that. The interplay in the band is top notch and Jaco’s bass is just brilliant throughout. 4.5/5 Will definitely listen again

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 21 2023

Pretty bland. Found Costello’s voice to be annoying. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Dec 22 2023

Did not enjoy this. Eminem has always been polarizing, but as I’ve grown older his vulgar and childish lyrics just don’t do it for me. He obviously has a lot of talent and this was an early album in his career, I just did not like it. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Dec 23 2023

Such a unique sound. This mix of orchestral strings with voice effects and rock melodies just somehow works. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Dec 24 2023

Not very interesting, lacks dynamic tracks. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Ctrl by SZA
Dec 25 2023

Kind of enjoyed it. Liked the mix of lofi beats and she does have a great voice. 3/5 Might listen again

Dec 26 2023

A collection of classic Christmas songs. If this is your kind of thing, I’d imagine it is great. I don’t really care for Christmas music, so I was not really interested in the album. 2/5 Wouldn’t listen again, although will probably here all these songs anyway around the holidays

Dare! by The Human League
Jan 12 2024

I kind of liked this album. A lot of these ‘80s synth pop albums are just very one note. “Don’t You Want Me” is one of the greatest songs of this genre though. 3/5 Might listen again

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 13 2024

Liked it, but left me sort of underwhelmed. The last song showed a more uptempo musical style I like more. 3/5 Might listen again

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jan 14 2024

Good Stones album. Not every song is great, so it lacks the overall strength of an “Exile” or “Let it Bleed”. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Jan 15 2024

All over the place. This album can’t seem to find a genre. The only interesting music is the pre-punk stuff. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 16 2024

First two songs on the album are classics, the rest, not so much. Perfectly slightly above average album by EJ. 3/5 Might listen again

Soul Mining by The The
Jan 17 2024

Nothing notably great about the album, but nothing terrible either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jan 18 2024

Liked the album. Can definitely hear the similarities between this and some of the great Stones albums in that time. Overall pretty good, just missing a few standard tracks. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 19 2024

Pretty boring. The songs are not very distinguishable from each other. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jan 20 2024

Outside of the real hits this album lacks significantly. Rose’s voice is really grating on most songs, and musically they don’t stand out against other music of their time. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Jan 21 2024

Not very interesting. Nothing stood out on the album. 2/5 Won't listen again

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jan 22 2024

Really strange album. It starts off with some absolute nonsense spoken word stuff, but eventually mixes in some borderline great jazz music. Overall not a fan though. 2/5 Might listen to "Miles" again.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jan 23 2024

Didn’t love the album, but at least with this one, I can understand why the band is popular. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jan 24 2024

Strange album. A mix of pop/soft rock music with electronic effects. The lyrics seemed borderline childish at times, like someone carefully guiding you through a psychedelic trip. Never really gets interesting somehow. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again.

Jan 25 2024

Interesting concept of having Big Boi and andre3000 create solo albums and release them together as Outkast. The albums really show the difference between both of their styles. Andre3000’s has the big hits, but is relatively strange besides those two songs. Big Boi’s is the more consistent of the two. Overall pretty good, I think they are better in other works. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Jan 26 2024

Aggressively British. He has some decent verses, but overall just a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

Jan 27 2024

Album has a lot of class John tunes on it. Kind of loses a bit in the middle but overall a pretty good album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Risque by CHIC
Jan 28 2024

"Good Times" is obviously a classic. The rest of the album never gets close to that level, though the bass playing on the album is incredible. 3/5 Might listen again

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jan 29 2024

Dramatic indie rock music. Not bad, but never really does enough to be interesting. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jan 30 2024

Ended up liking this one. Enjoyed the mix of soul music and the influences of his ancestral background. 3.5/5 Might listen again.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jan 31 2024

This is one of the those albums that makes you wonder what the parameters are to make this list. Truly an awful album. 1/5 Definitely won’t listen again

Lost Souls by Doves
Feb 01 2024

Starts off slow, but gets better. Some of the songs are good, but nothing really catches the ear. 2.5/5 Likely won’t listen again

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Feb 02 2024

Interesting to hear the velvet underground before loaded. The spoken word track was not interesting, but overall a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 03 2024

First half of the album is incredibly polished, the second half is rudder but has some real beautiful moments. One of the Beatles more ambitious works. 4.5/5 Will definitely listen again

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Feb 04 2024

Kind of interesting, but mostly just an odd album. It never gets bad, but never really does anything great. 2/5 Likely won't listen again

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 05 2024

Janis' voice is so unique, but can be a little overwhelming. The songs are okay, there really is only one good song on the album. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Feb 06 2024

Good soul album. Doesn’t have many of their big songs, but still a good one. 3/5 Might listen again

Eagles by Eagles
Feb 07 2024

Harmonies are their strong point and this album has a few decent songs. Like the country influence more than what comes later in their career. 3/5 Might listen to a few of the songs again

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Feb 08 2024

Beautiful voice, and some really beautiful songs. “Don’t Know Why” is a classic. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Feb 09 2024

Liked parts of this album, but some of the lyrics were lacking a refined edge. 3/5 Might listen again

The Band by The Band
Feb 10 2024

Exceptional. One of the greatest folk/americana/rock albums ever made. Every song is wonderful and really transports you to another time. 5/5 One of my favorite albums ever

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Feb 11 2024

Okay album. Some of these electronic albums are tough, but I’m sure they are better performed live. I did like the street performance aspects on certain songs. And there is a song with a melodica, which I fully support. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Feb 12 2024

Liked this more than some of his other albums. A little more uptempo songs, though the lyrics are similar. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Feb 13 2024

Some good psychedelic music on this album. A lot of the songs sound similar, but there are some of their best on here. 3/5 Might listen again

Play by Moby
Feb 14 2024

Better than some of the other electronic albums on here so far, but still kind of weird listening to electronic music while just sitting around. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Feb 15 2024

Not very interesting. Sounds like just another generic British alt rock/pop album. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Feb 16 2024

Musically one of the best modern rap albums. Some of the songs don’t work lyrically, but overall most of the songs are great. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Feb 17 2024

Great album. Doesn’t have the strength of some of their later works, but still great. “Pulled Up” is one of my favorite songs of theirs. 4/5 Will definitely listen again

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Feb 18 2024

Really good blues album. Enjoyed the guests. 3.5/5 Might listen again

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 19 2024

Great concept for a live album and overall a great album. Enjoyed that they left in the banter between songs. Gave it an authentic feel. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Feb 20 2024

Good album, not the best of their work. Lacks the overall groove of some of their other albums and doesn’t have as many strong songs. Still good though. 3/5 Might listen again

Feb 21 2024

Liked the album. Sounds a bit like Public Enemy mixed with more jazz/afrocentric influence. “Mr. Wendel” is a great song. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Medúlla by Björk
Feb 22 2024

Very strange album. Listened to one of her other albums before on this list and really liked it, this one not as much. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Feb 23 2024

Not very interesting. The singers voice is a little too annoying and unpleasant at times. 2/5 Won’t listen again

21 by Adele
Feb 24 2024

Didn't think I'd like it but it's a lovely album. Good mix of slow ballads and more uptempo songs. Obviously her voice is great and stands up to some of the great singers of old. 3.5/5 Might listen to a few songs again

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 25 2024

Fantastic album. Definitely Simons best work. Love the influence and feature of African musicians. 5/5 Will no doubt listen often

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Feb 26 2024

A strange album. On one hand Tina’s bass playing is unbelievable, but on the other hand, the lyrics are sporadic and almost childish. Still a fun album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Feb 27 2024

Pretty average album. Couple of well known songs and a bunch of just okay ones. Nothing really stood out, but nothing was bad either. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Feb 28 2024

An okay album. Nothing really stands out, but nothing was bad either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Vulnicura by Björk
Feb 29 2024

Really strange. Similar to another album of hers that I recently listen to for this list. Not for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Mar 01 2024

Good album. Has a couple of the bands more known songs, but the rest of the album just doesn’t inspire in the same way. 3/5 Might listen again

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Mar 02 2024

An okay album. Nothing really great, but nothing that bad. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Mar 03 2024

Not my favorite kind if music. Most of the songs have similar delivery of lyrics and become repetitive. 2/5 Won't listen again

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Mar 04 2024

Good album. Can definitely hear how this album influences other music down the road. 3/5 Might listen again

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Mar 05 2024

Decent album. There are some random sporadic elements to this that don’t always work and some of the songs are a little flat. But, enjoyed the delivery from the group and some of the songs are pretty good. 3/5 Might listen again

Woodface by Crowded House
Mar 06 2024

Kind of liked this one. Some of the songs weren’t great, but overall liked the style and the music. 3/5 Might listen again

Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 07 2024

Really enjoyed this one. Can still remember when it came out and all the hype around it. The album definitely lives up to it. 4/5 Will listen again

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Mar 08 2024

Album was okay. Had some decent songs but in the end nothing that was really great. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Mar 09 2024

Classic crooner album. Gets a bit repetitive and hard to distinguish between songs, but still a good listen. 3/5 Might listen again

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Mar 10 2024

A masterpiece. The drums and bass are exceptional and Coltrane is just flawless. Finally some high level jazz on this list. 5/5 Will listen again

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Mar 11 2024

Lovely music. Not being able to understand the lyrics is secondary. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 12 2024

Good album. Not their best, many of the songs don’t offer much, but “America” is just a great song. Kind of saves the album in the end. 3/5 Might listen again

Fun House by The Stooges
Mar 13 2024

Liked this one. The energy of the and really comes through. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Mar 14 2024

An okay pop album. Nothing was bad, but nothing was truly great either. Surprised I knew a song on it. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Young Americans by David Bowie
Mar 15 2024

Enjoyed this one. Has a few classic Bowie tunes on it. “Young Americans” is a great song. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 16 2024

Album was okay, some of the songs were alright. Still find Costello’s voice to be annoying. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Mar 17 2024

Has some decent songs on here. Enjoyed some of the more bluesy numbers. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Goo by Sonic Youth
Mar 18 2024

Interesting album. Some good songs, but occasionally gets a little weird. 3/5 Might listen again

Mar 19 2024

Great live recording. Such a great concept to have musicians play somewhat acoustic back then. The songs here are really well done as well. 4/5 Will listen again

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 20 2024

Not my kind of music. That being said, I can understand why people like her so much. For a pop record, it was good, but again just not for me. 3/5 Won’t listen again

Mar 21 2024

Liked this one. Sometimes Wu Tang can get a little muddled with so many people on tracks. This was more direct. 3.5/5 Most likely will listen again

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Mar 22 2024

Good album. “Sultans” is definitely the strong point. Wished it had a few more standout songs. 3/5 Might listen again

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Mar 23 2024

Some good bass lines on the album. Some of the slower songs lost my interest, but overall a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

Mar 24 2024

Some decent songs, a lot of it sounds the same. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 25 2024

Strange, but I kind of liked it. Has some decent grooves and the delivery of the lyrics is unique. 3.5/5 Might listen again.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Mar 26 2024

Enjoyed this more than another one of their albums I listened to on this list. Some familiar songs, and just overall a good album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 27 2024

Painfully average. Just generic and boring. Nothing interesting about it. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Document by R.E.M.
Mar 28 2024

Some classic songs on this album. Liked this more than the other one of theirs I’ve listened to on this list. 3.5/5 Might listen again

The Undertones by The Undertones
Mar 29 2024

Interesting, kind of early punk album. I enjoyed it, partially cause how short it was, but overall it was good. 3/5 Might listen again

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Mar 30 2024

All the sounds of “Morning Glory”, without any of the standout songs. Overall still good. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Mar 31 2024

Just bad. Sounds like the soundtrack for a bad action movie in the 90’s. 1/5 Won’t listen again

Dust by Screaming Trees
Apr 01 2024

Not very interesting. Songs lack quite a bit of energy. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Apr 02 2024

Great mix of sounds. It’s amazing how well the blues is played in their unique style. 4/5 Will listen again

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Apr 03 2024

Some well known songs on here. The rest are just okay. Overall a good effort, just not great. 3/5 Might listen again

Protection by Massive Attack
Apr 04 2024

Just not interesting. The songs lack a lot and the one with the breathing was just bad. 2/5 Won’t listen again

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Apr 05 2024

Not bad, but not that good either. Was decent to listen too, but nothing really jumped out. 3/5 Might listen again

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Apr 06 2024

Decent album. Like the more expansive and psychedelic aspects of this. 3.5/5 Will probably listen again

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Apr 07 2024

Not really my thing, but I did know a couple songs in here, which surprised me. Not bad per se, but just not something I would really listen to. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Apr 08 2024

Such a strange album, especially for its time. Lots of just weird lyrics. Not really bad, but not that good. Kind of funny though. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Apr 09 2024

Album was pretty out there. I’ve enjoyed some of the Radiohead albums, but this one was just a little too eccentric for me. Didn’t think it was bad, just a little much. 3.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Apr 10 2024

Pretty average album. Nothing really interesting on here. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Apr 11 2024

Kind of boring. Didn’t have any standout songs. Not a huge fan of glam/hair rock, but this wasn’t at least fun like some others. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Opus Dei by Laibach
Apr 12 2024

The German chanting went a little long and was just strange. Surprised I knew a song on this, pretty sure I’ve heard it at a sporting event before. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 13 2024

Good album. Didn't have any of the stand out tracks from some of the bands more acclaimed works, but still a good listen. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Third by Portishead
Apr 14 2024

Strange album. Switches genres regularly, which really catches you off guard. Just wish some of the songs were more interesting. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Apr 15 2024

It was fun. Songs were good, really enjoyed the saxophone and other horns. Lyrics were light and fun. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Apr 16 2024

Good album. Not as many familiar songs for me, but still enjoyable. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Parklife by Blur
Apr 17 2024

Not a bad album, but not really that good either. Pretty average overall. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Apr 18 2024

A masterpiece. Each song is great in its own right, and having multiple band members have lead vocals throughout the album adds to the overall greatness of this album. It’s just so good. 5/5 Listen often

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Apr 19 2024

Some beautiful music, but was a little boring at times. Wished there just a little more excitement. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 20 2024

Decent album. Mostly slow song, which are performed well, but sometimes not what I want to listen to. In a different mood, it may have caught me better. 3/5 Might listen again

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Apr 21 2024

Ok album. Some recognizable songs, but very generic. Her vocals save most of the songs. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Apr 22 2024

Interesting to hear Ray with a big band, not what I was expecting. Overall a good album, just think I prefer his later work more. 3/5 Might listen again

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Apr 23 2024

Overall good. Some well known songs on here, but it never gets to a great place. 3/5 Might listen again

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Apr 24 2024

Enjoyed the album. Like some of the early psychedelic stuff and the messaging that came along with it. 3/5 Probably will listen again

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 25 2024

Great album by Young. Some truly great lyrics throughout and the overall tone is great. 4/5 Will listen again

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Apr 26 2024

The album was okay. Nothing really interesting, but wasn’t bad either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 27 2024

An album I have enjoyed. The vocals are great and “Maps” is an incredible song. This is the kind of indie rock that I hope to hear more of. 4/5 Will listen again

Apr 28 2024

Liked it. Sometimes Public Enemy can be very one dimensional, but their message is good and it still works overall. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Apr 29 2024

Album was good, musically was great just didn’t enjoy the vocals that much. 3/5 Might listen again

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Apr 30 2024

Enjoyed this one. Was familiar with the title track, but amidst everything else was completely new. It was a lot groovier than I would have expected and I liked that. 4/5 Will listen again

May 01 2024

Not that interesting. Found it hard to follow along and there were no songs that grabbed my attention. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
May 02 2024

Not bad, but not very interesting either. Overall just did not grab my attention. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
May 03 2024

Loud and distorted. Musically not that impressive and some of the songs just dragged on. Recognized a couple of songs, but still didn’t think it was that good. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Cars by The Cars
May 04 2024

Fun album. Some pretty decent pop songs to sing along to. 3.5/5 Might listen again

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
May 05 2024

Ehh, just not good. A strange album with some real random vocal choices. 1/5 won’t listen again

May 06 2024

Album was fine. Nothing great but nothing bad either. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
May 07 2024

Good album. Some of the songs were fun and the bluesy influence was nice. 3/5 Might listen again

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
May 08 2024

When I was younger and knew little of the world some of the more known songs on this album seemed fun. In retrospect, it is a mash up of genres that comes off as over produced and muddled. Bob’s lyrics are awful and the character he pretends to be is shameful. 1/5 It is utter nonsense

May 09 2024

Fun, but just not really my thing. Starts pretty slow, but the songs get more interesting and upbeat towards the end. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

American Pie by Don McLean
May 10 2024

Just okay. It’s obviously in the list for “American Pie”, but the rest of the album doesn’t really go anywhere. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
May 11 2024

Great mix of psychedelic and blues. Obviously Hendrix’s guitar playing stands out, but the band works well together as a whole. Just a few songs always from being a truly incredible album. 4/5 Will listen again

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
May 12 2024

As good as it gets for Stones albums. This and Let it Bleed and Exile and the best of their catalog. Really likes the blues inspiration and “Can’t you hear me knocking” is just and unbelievable song. 4/5 Will listen again

May 13 2024

Good 90’s hip hop album. Definitely their own sound, struggles a bit with lack of truly great tracks. Pretty good, just not at the level of other contemporary albums in that era. 3.5/5 Would listen again

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 14 2024

Some really good songs on this album. “Living for the City” is a real stand out. Album is good, but lacks a bunch of real great songs throughout. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
May 15 2024

Album was kind of boring. Nothing was that interesting. 2/5 Won’t listen again

May 16 2024

Good album. Much like the other Public Enemy albums, I like the message but sometimes the music is too militant. I know that it fits, just not my favorite to listen to. 3.5/5 Might listen again

May 17 2024

Liked the album. Was a little slow at times, but Ray’s voice is iconic and I enjoyed some of the songs he covered. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 18 2024

Just not my kind of music. The songs were boring and dragged on. 2/5 Won’t listen again

May 19 2024

Interesting album. Some of the segments are great, but it does ramble at times. Overall good, just not the easiest listening. 3/5 Might listen again

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
May 20 2024

Lots of really long form songs on the album. Can tell it’s not Gaye’s best, but overall a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
May 21 2024

Good album. Have always liked Rage and this an enjoyable album, though not their best. “Killing in the Name of” is an amazing song. 3.5/5 Will listen again

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
May 22 2024

Not for me. I enjoy some metal music, but this had too much added effects and just weird lyrical stuff. 2/5 Won’t listen again

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
May 23 2024

A masterpiece. One of the greatest early era hip hop albums. So many amazing tracks, with “Eye Know” being one of my favorite songs ever. The skits kind of hurt the overall flow of the album, but they’re not that bad. 5/5 Listen frequently

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
May 24 2024

Lovely love album by the King. Loved hearing the audience reactions. A great blues record. 4/5 Will listen again

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
May 25 2024

Kind of liked this one. Just happened to be a rainy day and this was a great accompaniment to the world at large. 3.5 Probably will listen again

Metallica by Metallica
May 26 2024

Pretty good album. Not the best the band has done, but the songs are good and there aren’t really any misses. More of a fan of the earlier thrash stuff, but this is still a good album. 4/5 Probably will listen again

Basket of Light by Pentangle
May 27 2024

Another strange kind of renaissance album. A couple songs saved it from being absolutely terrible. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
May 28 2024

Good album. Some familiar songs on here which was nice. Just didn’t have too quality throughout. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
May 29 2024

Was okay. Thought the drums were great, but some of the guitar parts were boring. 3/5 Might listen again

evermore by Taylor Swift
May 30 2024

Much slower and much less of a pop album than the other one I’ve listen to for this list. Didn’t really have any stand out songs and still way too overproduced. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Doolittle by Pixies
May 31 2024

Good album. Similar to Surfer Rosa, where the most famous song on the album doesn’t really fit with the rest of the songs. Still enjoyed it. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

London Calling by The Clash
Jun 01 2024

Enjoyed this one. Not every song is great, but there is some really amazing stuff on this. “Train in Vain” is awesome. 4/5 Will listen again

Jun 02 2024

Interesting album. Compared to some other Funkadelic/Parliament albums this one was toned down (for them at least) and had some really good psychedelic guitar work. The bass and groove are as good as always. 4/5 Will listen again

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Jun 03 2024

Not for me. Some of the songs are listenable, but many are slow and/or boring. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Jun 04 2024

Decent album. Mostly saved by the hit songs, so kind of top heavy. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Blur by Blur
Jun 05 2024

Was okay. I can’t really remember anything that caught my ear, but nothing was bad either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jun 06 2024

Interesting. Kind of all over the map in terms of genres. Liked some of it, but not all of it. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Night Life by Ray Price
Jun 07 2024

Not really a country person. So this wasn’t bad, just not for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jun 08 2024

Good album. Really enjoyed the causal realness of Cash’s stage presence. Songs were mostly good. 3.5/5 Might listen again

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 09 2024

Good album. Really like “Walk On”. Not as consistent as other Young albums. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jun 10 2024

Pretty good. Too much of the album sounded too much alike, but there were some good songs that I was familiar with. 3/5 Might listen again

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jun 11 2024

Good album. Famous for “Blister”, but the other songs are interesting as well. Can see how it would have influenced a lot of music in the 90’s. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Jun 12 2024

Has some good songs. “Leaving Las Vegas” is her best song. Kind of loses steam towards the end. Overall was enjoyable. 3/5 Might listen to a couple songs again.

Jun 13 2024

Album has a real ebb and flow. Some of the songs are pretty much genius compositions, but some of the songs fall kind of flat. Overall was pretty good. 4/5 Will listen again

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jun 14 2024

Pretty good. Nothing really stands out besides “Time” , but overall was still a good listen. 3/5 Might listen again

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jun 15 2024

Kind of a one note album. Almost every song was the same. Wasn’t necessarily bad, just not very interesting. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Tago Mago by Can
Jun 16 2024

There are parts of this album that are amazing. Unfortunately, most of the album sounds like a sound check or that they kept recording between song takes. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jun 17 2024

Found this one to be quite boring and uninspired. Not very good. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jun 18 2024

Really good album. Not quite on the level as “Loaded” but still overall very good. “Sunday Morning” is an amazing song. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jun 19 2024

Pretty good. There aren’t many songs that are memorable or distinguishable, but nothing bad either. Overall a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jun 20 2024

Album was ok. Knew a little about the band before listening and thought there would be more reggae influence in the album. 3/5 Might listen again

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jun 21 2024

Fantastic. Getz is just an amazing musician and his interplay with Byrd is so well done. Truly a great piece of art. 5/5 Definitely will listen again

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jun 22 2024

Decent album. “Golden Years” is a great song. Album lacks a few more standout tracks. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jun 23 2024

Interesting. A real effort on the lead track, then some of the other songs are good, but overall just an okay album. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Timeless by Goldie
Jun 24 2024

Just not my thing. Repetitive and very long, just became easy to not pay attention while listening. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jun 25 2024

Enjoyed this one. Cohen has written some truly timeless music, and this album is no different. 4/5 Will listen again

Jun 26 2024

Usually have a hard time with these just sitting around listening to electronic music, but this one I didn’t mind. 3.5/5 Might listen again (maybe at a party or something)

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jun 27 2024

One of the great blues albums. “Layla” is one of my least favorite songs on here, which shows this album’s strength. 4/5 Will listen again

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jun 28 2024

Raitt is very talented and I enjoyed a lot of the songs on this album. The tone is very 90’s era, especially the bass playing. Overall I liked this. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Who's Next by The Who
Jun 29 2024

Kind of a top heavy album. The notable songs are great, but the others kind of fall flat. 3.5/5 Might listen again

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jun 30 2024

Muddy is a master at his craft. Such a great blues album. 4/5 Will listen again

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Jul 01 2024

Didn’t mind this one. Kind of a strange album, but mostly kept my attention and overall was good. 3.5/5 Might listen again

High Violet by The National
Jul 03 2024

Found this to be boring. A style of modern music that I just don’t enjoy that much, too slow. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jul 04 2024

Good album. Definitely stays in the same tone the whole time. Easy to listen to, but not very dynamic in the end. 3/5 Might listen again

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Jul 05 2024

Reminds me of the great Leo Kottke. Enjoyed this one. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jul 06 2024

Has some classic early 90’s songs on here. “Who am I” is one of the great rap songs of that era. Love the G-funk. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 07 2024

Starts out slow, but picks up energy as it goes along. Still a little too slow for me. 3/5 Might listen again

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 08 2024

Found it to be quite boring. Mix of slow electronic music and melancholy lyrics, just not for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jul 12 2024

Has some well known songs, but overall found the album a little stale. Not as fun as other MJ albums. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys

Good album. Musically simple, but fun. Has some of their best songs on it. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jul 14 2024

Slow album. Never really made me interested. Surprising cause I have like some of their other work. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jul 15 2024

She has a great voice, but this album can’t seem to decide which direction it wants to go. The stripped down songs are much better than the cheesy pop tunes. 2/5 Won’t listen again

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 16 2024

A good Beatles album. Lacks the overall strength of others, but still has some great songs. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jul 17 2024

Lovely bit of music. Really like the interplay between the musicians. Nearly an amazing album, just missing a little something extra. 4.5/5 Will listen again

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jul 18 2024

Interesting stuff. Definitely has the relaxing and familiar sound you expect of Newman. Didn’t find any of it particularly appealing, but still a good listen. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jul 19 2024

Pretty average album. “Last Child” is a great song, but the rest of the album is pretty uninspired. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 20 2024

Good album. Gets straight to the point. Surprised by how short it was. Still a good listen. 3/5 Might listen again

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jul 21 2024

Liked the start of this album. Some really good blues and the bass playing is great. Kind of teeters off midway through. Still a good listen. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jul 22 2024

She oozes with style . Such a unique album for its time. 3/5 Might listen again.

xx by The xx
Jul 23 2024

Kind of boring. Just didn’t do it for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Jul 24 2024

Great album by Aretha. More upbeat than the other one I recently heard on this list. 3.5/5 Might listen again

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jul 25 2024

Interesting. I know a lot of people hold this album in very high regard, but I still am not completely sold on the band. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jul 26 2024

Decent album by Simon. This sounds similar to his work with Garfunkel, and I enjoy his more upbeat solo work. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

2112 by Rush
Jul 27 2024

Album was okay. Not overly familiar with Rush, but do like some of their work. This album didn’t have any real standout songs. 3/5 Might listen again

Jul 28 2024

Album was decent. Missing some real standout songs, but still overall listenable. 3/5 Might listen again

Jul 31 2024

Liked this one. Easy to listen to and I enjoyed the energy of the band. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Aug 01 2024

Decent album. Definitely one I would have to be in the mood for. Liked her more uptempo songs. 2.5/5 Might listen again

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Aug 02 2024

Kind of boring. Could have easily cut some of the songs on the album. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Aug 03 2024

I liked this more than I thought I would. More uptempo than I assumed the album would be. Still not my favorite style of music but I enjoyed this. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Aug 04 2024

Fairly boring. Did enjoy the title track, but overall the album was missing standout songs. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Aug 05 2024

Sounds like a lot of other albums on this list. Just not my kind of music. Found it uninteresting. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Aug 06 2024

A little long winded at times, but much of this album is great. Kind of an experience more than just an album. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Aug 07 2024

Enjoy the message and the beats in this album. Missing a few real standout tracks. “Doo Wop (That Thing)” is a truly amazing song. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Aug 08 2024

Fun album. Songs are really well done. One of the best solo albums by any member of the Beatles. "Mrs. Vandebilt" was my favorite on the album. 4/5 Will listen again

Nowhere by Ride
Aug 09 2024

Had some decent points, but overall kind of dragged on and never really caught my attention. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Aug 10 2024

Very much a Funkadelic album, but a little more refined than most of the others. “Can You Get to That” is a classic. 4/5 Will listen again

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Aug 11 2024

A very good 2000's era Pop album. Aguilera's vocal talent stands out compared to her peers of that time. Musically, her albums go back and fourth between showcasing her talent and trying to keep up with the other Pop songs of time. Overall this is not my kind of music, but gets extra points for having Redman on a song. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Aug 12 2024

Liked this. Enjoyed the aggression and the brevity. The album is short and too the point. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Aug 13 2024

Kind of a novelty album. I have seen this being restocked at my local record store almost weekly, so it is obviously popular. It was fun, but a little too repetitive. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Aug 14 2024

Great reggae album. Burning Spear is amazing and this is one of if not his best works. Just saw him live recently and he is as lively as ever. 4/5 Will listen again

Bad Company by Bad Company
Aug 15 2024

Decent album. Some familiar songs and some just fun 70's rock songs. Nothing crazy impressive, but still a good time. 3/5 Might listen again

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Aug 16 2024

Absolutely beautiful. Just a real work of art, and a musician with unbelievable talent. I wish i had listen to this earlier in life. 4.5/5 Definitely will listen again

Revolver by Beatles
Aug 17 2024

Great album. Lacks the overall strength of other Beatles albums, but still really good. 4/5 Will listen again

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Aug 18 2024

Some decent Pop songs, but most of the album lacks that something special. Really cool that Prince is on this album a few times. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Aug 21 2024

Not bad, but not very interesting either. No real standout songs. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Aug 22 2024

Pretty standard old country western album. Nothing that great on here, overall pretty average. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Gold by Ryan Adams
Aug 23 2024

Fairly generic. Songs were quite flat and uninspiring. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Aug 25 2024

Had a hard time paying attention to this one. Nothing really grabbed me and everything was pretty boring. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Kind of bland. Everything is too similar and nothing really stands out. 2/5 Won't listen again

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Aug 27 2024

Pretty standard rock and roll album. Gets to the point and has some fun songs. 3/5 Might listen again

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 28 2024

Great album by Bob and the Wailers. “Bend Down Low” is one of my favorite tunes by them. Overall a solid reggae album. 4/5 Will listen again

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Aug 29 2024

Album was okay. Besides the title track, much of this album just doesn't do much. Overall kind of boring. 2/5 Probably won't listen again

The Yes Album by Yes
Aug 30 2024

Liked this one. Interesting prog rock album with one well known track. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Aug 31 2024

Interesting album. A couple songs I was familiar with. Not really a fan of industrial type music. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Sep 01 2024

Album is okay. Not really my kind of music, especially just sitting around and listening. Maybe I would enjoy it more if I was at a party or club. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Sep 02 2024

Nice acoustic music. Nothing spectacular. Overall a good album. 3/5 Might listen again.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Sep 03 2024

Too much going on. Lyrics are hard to hear on many songs cause of overproduction and effects. Overall just okay. 2/5 Probably won't listen again

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Sep 04 2024

Album was alright. Some fun songs on here. Nothing really grabbed my attention though. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Sep 06 2024

It’s just a fun album. So many good songs and the music is tight and funkier than you would expect. “Calling Captain Autumn” and “Marine Boy” are standout songs. 4/5 Definitely will listen again

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Sep 07 2024

Good album. Gaye’s voice is great and the songs are pretty good. A little too slow for my liking . 3.5/5 Might listen again

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 08 2024

Album was good. Kind of top heavy. The hits are good, the other songs are lacking. 3/5 Might listen again

Kala by M.I.A.
Sep 09 2024

Interesting album. Very ambitious in style, but some of the songs are a little too scattered. When it works, it really works. 3/5 Probably will listen again

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Sep 10 2024

Decent album. Still can’t fully get behind country music, but I do like Willie. I just know he has better stuff out there. 3/5 Might listen again

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Sep 11 2024

Better than some of the other similar albums on this list. Still don’t really think this is necessary listening. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Good album. I’ve always liked “Battery” and the whole album works well. Just like some of their other albums more. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Overall a good album. Some of the songs drag on, but liked a few of them. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Overall a good album. Lacking on some stand out songs, but the album works. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Sep 15 2024

So, this is a tough album for sure. But I don’t think it’s the worst thing on this list. I guess I kind of appreciate the effort here, but it does fall short and gets a little too off at times. 2/5 Won’t listen again

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Sep 16 2024

This was fantastic. Even the parts that were a little more wandering, was there to build up to the next piece of each song. It was calm yet poignant and interesting. 4.5/5 Would definitely listen again

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Sep 17 2024

Enjoyed this one. Something about his music is oddly comforting. Would be good for a fall or rainy day. 4/5 Would listen again

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Sep 18 2024

Strange album. Appreciate the effort, but it try’s to do too much and mostly results in a muddled mess. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Sep 19 2024

Album was okay. Seemed like they took inspiration from other artists and made an album. Not necessarily a bad thing, just wish it was done better. 3/5 Possibly would listen again

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Sep 20 2024

Strange, like a movie score. Really liked the sea shanty at the end of the second song. Kind of all over the place, sometimes missing the mark. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Sep 21 2024

Overall a pretty solid album. Definitely is a little too heavy, but the music is good. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

I’ve gone back and forth on this album for years. It’s good, but sometimes feels a little slow for me. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Sep 23 2024

Album was good. Nothing spectacular, but was an easy listen. 3/5 Might listen again

Sep 25 2024

Fun album. Liked the addition of horns to some early pop/punk music. Overall decent. 3/5 Might listen again

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Sep 26 2024

This album has slowly, over time, become one of my favorite Beatles albums. It’s fun to listen to, and every song just has that it factor. “You Won’t See Me” is one of my favorite songs in their entire catalog. 5/5 Will definitely listen again

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Sep 27 2024

Strange album. First half had some okay songs, then the second half was more of a continuous test recording. Overall it was kind of bland. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Sep 28 2024

Album was okay. Not as interesting as the other album of hers I’ve listened to for this list. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Man Who by Travis
Sep 29 2024

Pretty boring. Album was filled with songs that weren’t very interesting. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Some interesting things on this album, but kind of a weird thing to listen to. More of a demo type album. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Oct 04 2024

Album was okay. Some fun stuff, but overall kind of repetitive. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Oct 05 2024

Album was fun. Had mostly good songs and a few very popular tunes. Liked “P.Y.T” the most. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Album was okay. Some familiar songs, but nothing that notable otherwise. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Oct 07 2024

Not that into this one. Was pretty uninteresting. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Highway to Hell by AC/DC

Album was okay. Title track was easily the best on here, the rest were pretty forgettable. They have better albums. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Oct 09 2024

Liked some of the music, especially the bass playing. However, the songs left a lot to be desired. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Oct 10 2024

Nothing particularly special about this album, but was a decent listen. Overall it was enjoyable. 3/5 Might listen again

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Oct 13 2024

Album was okay. Nothing that interesting. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Oct 15 2024

Liked this one. Would have to be in the mood for it, but overall it was fun to listen to. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Suede by Suede
Oct 16 2024

Album was okay. Didn’t have much wrong, but wasn’t that interesting either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Oct 17 2024

Album was fine. A bunch of relaxing beats. I don’t know if I would put this on for many situations, but I wasn’t bad. 3/5 Might listen again

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Oct 18 2024

Obviously this album is too much. There are some good songs on here, though few and far between. The length and amount of songs brings this down. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Transformer by Lou Reed
Oct 19 2024

Pretty good. Familiar with “Wild Side”, but nothing else really. Prefer the Velvet Underground, but this was still good, though a little stranger. 3/5 Probably will listen again

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Oct 20 2024

Nothing wrong with this, but not overly interesting either. Pretty average. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Oct 21 2024

Liked the energy of this album. A style of music I don’t listen too often, but enjoyed this one. 3/5 Might listen again

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Oct 22 2024

Kind of strange. Some parts of songs are fine, but some go into these weird changes of style. Not particularly good. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Vespertine by Björk
Oct 23 2024

Strange, much like some of her other work I’ve heard on this list. Appreciate her to an extent, but still just not for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Oct 24 2024

A little more out there than what I was familiar with. It was good, just maybe a little slower than I usually like. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Oct 25 2024

It’s good. The funk is played well, an the orchestral parts in the theme are well done. It’s just kind of kitschy. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Crazysexycool by TLC
Oct 26 2024

Overall liked this one. Some of the slower songs are not my thing and the album is aggressively 90’s music. But their group dynamic is great and the beats are good. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Oct 27 2024

Kind of liked this. Enjoyed the bluesy elements. Just no standout songs for me. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Oct 28 2024

Wasn’t a bad album, just nothing too great. Can see the comparison to REM and it is just a step below them. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Oct 29 2024

Interesting album. Not totally my style, but the covers were fun and “Relax” is well known. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Oct 30 2024

It was okay. Kind of a run of the mill 70’s rock album. Nothing really great about it. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Oct 31 2024

Album is not bad. Kind of single toned. Not a very serious album, but it is pretty fun. 3/5 Might listen again

The La's by The La's
Nov 01 2024

It was alright. An okay album with one standout song. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Nov 02 2024

Her voice is obviously great, but this album wasn’t for me. Too slow, which is her style, just not my favorite. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Nov 03 2024

Album was good. Nothing spectacular, but still an easy listen. 3/5 Might listen again

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Nov 04 2024

Love the Dead. One of the most influential bands of my life. This is an album that would probably not turn someone onto them. “Lovelight” is an amazing song, and “St. Stephen” is fantastic, but “Feedback” is kind of rough. They get so much better in the next year. 4/5 Will listen again. RIP Phil

90 by 808 State
Nov 05 2024

Not for me. Kind of difficult for me to get into electronic music just hanging out in my house or even driving. 2/5 Won't listen again

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Nov 06 2024

Album was okay. Not really my thing, and again listening to electronic music casually at home just doesn't do it for me. 2/5 Probably won't listen again

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Nov 07 2024

Not much going on for me on this album. "Solsbury Hill" is a known song, and kind of the only thing this album has going for it. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Dookie by Green Day
Nov 08 2024

Fun album. As a kid who grew up in the 90's, this is likely the first punk record I ever heard. Still find some of the songs to be good. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Solid Air by John Martyn
Nov 11 2024

Kind of liked this one. Surprised by the different styles of music on here. 3/5 Might listen again

Nov 12 2024

Enjoyed this. Always enjoy metal drums and guitar. “Walk” is a great song. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Nov 13 2024

Decent album by Bob, but not his best. There are some good songs on here, but there is also some forgettable ones. "Don't Think Twice.." is one of my favorite songs of his. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 14 2024

Album is okay. Overall the tone really isn’t my thing, but the songs I knew before listening are still good. A two plus hour album is rough though. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Nov 15 2024

Overall I liked it. The beats are not better than most of the other rap of the time, but they are distinct. Like the punk/hard rock influence in the music. 3/5 Might listen again

Da Capo by Love
Nov 16 2024

Kind of boring. Not a bad album, just not very interesting. 2/5 Won’t listen again

OK by Talvin Singh
Nov 17 2024

Another electronic album. At least one had some interesting influences. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Nov 18 2024

Vocally great. Really enjoyed how the album was a continuous piece. “What’s Going On” is one of the most significant songs in modern music history. 4/5 Will listen again

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Nov 19 2024

Beautiful. Like water flowing over a stone or the wind blowing through tall grass. Enjoyed this. 4/5 Will listen again

Slipknot by Slipknot
Nov 20 2024

Drums are really good. Kind of interesting going back and forth with the lyric delivery. Kind of long for an album that is fairly similar throughout. 2.5:5 Might listen again

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Nov 21 2024

Enjoyed the Latin influence. Great to see an album with Cut Chemist and Chali 2na on the list. Pretty fun album overall. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Nov 22 2024

Strange album. Not always in a good way. Appreciate the various genres attempted, but it sometimes makes the album feel disjointed. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Nov 23 2024

Enjoyed this. Liked the early stage punk. 3/5 Might listen again

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Nov 24 2024

Some really enjoyable parts of this album. Knew the music by Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens right away. Bummer they weren’t properly credited. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Face to Face by The Kinks
Nov 25 2024

Good album. Nothing objectively bad about it, just nothing that really sets it apart from the other 60's Brit-pop. 3/5 Might listen again

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Nov 26 2024

Album was okay. Nothing bad, but nothing really stood out either. Did appreciate the social issues brought up in the music. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Homework by Daft Punk
Nov 29 2024

Album was fine. Not the best for just listening casually at home. A few of the songs were recognizable. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

#1 Record by Big Star
Nov 30 2024

Pretty bland album. Nothing really interesting. Not horrible though. 2/5 Won’t listen again

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 01 2024

Good album. Seems to be more disco influenced than the other album of theirs on this list. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Dec 02 2024

Overall a really good album. Has some of the bands heavy hitters, “War Pig” is a great song. Enjoyed the psychedelic mixed with heavier tones. 4/5 Will listen again

Movies by Holger Czukay
Dec 03 2024

Album was okay. Definitely sounds like a movie score. 3/5 Probably won't listen again.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Dec 04 2024

Fairly bland. Not much interesting going on here. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Dec 05 2024

Uniquely beautiful. Her voice is truly amazing and her cadence is just wonderful. “Free Man in Paris” is a great song. 4/5 Will listen again

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Dec 06 2024

Just not very good. There are short parts of songs that are nice, but overall this was not a good listen. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Disintegration by The Cure
Dec 07 2024

Not as good as their more popular stuff. Kind of boring. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

The Libertines by The Libertines
Dec 08 2024

Not very interesting. Nothing truly bad, but nothing of note either. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Dec 09 2024

It’s alright. Not familiar enough with the band to know of these are good versions of their songs. Not the most prolific band, kind of surprised they got a live album on this list. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Dec 10 2024

Knew one song on here. Feels like an album that you had to experience when it came out to fully understand. A little too slow for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Be by Common
Dec 11 2024

Enjoyed this one. Like Common’s message and the mix of hip hop and r&b. “GO!” Is a great song. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Dec 12 2024

Definitely an interesting album. Some parts were good, but the noodling was a bit too aimless at times. 2.5/5 Might listen again

All Directions by The Temptations
Dec 13 2024

Okay album. "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" is a well known classic. Kind of lacks anything else that is really notable. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 14 2024

Wasn't a bad album. Just not really that interesting either. Kind of meh. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Dec 15 2024

Liked parts of this album. Seemed to have a lot of dub influence mixed with Latin music. I think I even heard a melodica in there. It does taper off in the second half and become more electronic focused. A little too long as well. 3/5 Might listen again

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Dec 16 2024

I knew some of the back story of this before listening, so I am a little biased. On a technical level, this is one of the most ambitious and impressive albums. However, it is hard to listen to and some of the songs are pretty abrasive. That being said, there are some really great moments and the album definitely gets points for its ambition. 3/5 Might listen again

Signing Off by UB40
Dec 17 2024

Enjoyed this. More dub than straight up reggae. Mix in the horns and this is a good album overall. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Dec 18 2024

Not a huge fan of country music , but her voice is great. No songs stand out, but nothing is bad either. Overall a good album. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Dec 19 2024

Pretty good album. Some really good songs on here. “Don’t Look Back in Anger” is a great song. Liked this. 4/5 Will listen again

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Dec 20 2024

I liked this. Definitely an album that fits a mood. Pretty sad lyrics and tone, but done well. 3/5 Might listen again

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Dec 21 2024

Likely my favorite album of theirs. Really enjoy the country/blues influence. 4/5 Will listen again

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 22 2024

Just didn’t do it for me. Songs were not very good and that 14 minute song was a chore to get through. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Dec 23 2024

It was alright. There weren’t really any songs that stood out, but it wasn’t a bad album. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Dec 24 2024

Definitely interesting. Sounds like the music from a WWII themed musical. Not the easiest listen but wasn’t horrible. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Music by Madonna
Dec 25 2024

I’m not opposed to pop music, but this was not very good. Her foray into electronic based pop music falls flat. Most of the songs are boring and forgettable. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Dec 26 2024

Musically the album is okay, just not very special. Lyrics were consistently hard to understand throughout the album, which made this a bit of a chore. At least it was short. 2/5 Won’t listen again

1984 by Van Halen
Dec 27 2024

Fun, but in a kind of stupid way. The hit songs really stand out and the rest of the album is pretty mediocre. 3/5 Might listen again

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Dec 28 2024

Album was alright. Definitely weaker than some of his other solo work. “Maybe I’m Amazed” is a good song. 3/5 Might listen again

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Dec 29 2024

Pretty run of the mill electronic music. A little manic at times and still not a great listen while just hanging around the house. Maybe better at a club. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

B-52's by The B-52's
Dec 30 2024

Such a unique sound. You can tell it’s them. Fun listen and quick. Enjoyed the mix of genres. 3.5/5 Will probably listen again

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Dec 31 2024

It’s fine for an old country album, if that is your thing. Couldn’t really distinguish between songs and found nothing that was overly impressive. At least it was short. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Jan 01 2025

Like the music. A very 90’s grunge sound. Overall a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

Jan 02 2025

Liked this album. Reminds me of some music from Soweto that I enjoy and was being made around the same time. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jan 03 2025

Like the bluesy influence. Recognize a couple songs from other bands covering. Overall a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jan 04 2025

His voice is very recognizable. Sometimes it is too slow and the songs are sort of oddly timed. Overall an okay album. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 05 2025

A highly influential early 90's rap album. I am a big fan of P-Funk, so the G-Funk beats are fantastic. Parts of this album haven;t aged well, and Snoop Dogg is basically the one rapping on most songs, but it is a overall good album. "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" is one of the great rap songs. 3.5/5 Will listen again.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Jan 06 2025

Another electronic album. Just doesn’t really do it for me, especially just driving around doing errands. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Jan 07 2025

Wanted this to be better than it was. The amount of talent associated with this album is crazy, but the album is rather mediocre. No great singles, and nothing really dynamic going on. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Jan 08 2025

Fairly boring. Nothing really notable in the album. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jan 09 2025

I mostly enjoyed this. Parts were a little too effects driven and overproduced for me. Interesting to hear “Golden Age” not as a cover. Overall a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 10 2025

Lovely music. Her voice is beautiful and the band is really good. A good album. 3/5 Might listen again

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jan 12 2025

Enjoyed this. Album cover is almost comical compared to the music. Nice listen. Nothing spectacular, but good. 3/5 Might listen again

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jan 13 2025

Good album. Their collective harmonies work well with the music. Very laid back and soothing. Peaceful. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jan 14 2025

Disco Funk. Bass lines are great and the songs are mostly fun. Overall a good album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jan 15 2025

An interesting album. Not sure if I retained anything, but it wasn’t bad to listen to. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jan 16 2025

Like how bluesy this album was. Not the best by the Stones, and if it wasn’t their first album, not sure it would be on this list. Overall it was okay. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 17 2025

Kind of too long. Most of the songs are fairly mediocre. Got better towards the end, but just wasn’t very interesting overall. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Jan 18 2025

Just not for me. Can’t really see a time where I would want to listen to this album. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 19 2025

Steely Dan is always kind of hit or miss for me. There great songs are really great, but they can be kind of boring sometimes. “Black Cow” and “Peg” do a lot of the work on this album. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jan 20 2025

Some interesting stuff on here, but it is a little too scattered and not very interesting. Overall it’s okay. 2/5 Won’t listen again

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 21 2025

A great live album. Early on in their career, so not as polished as they would eventually become. Some really ABB classics on here. 4.5/5 Will definitely listen again

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jan 22 2025

It’s an okay rap album. There are some radio hits, but not much else on here that’s notable. 3/5 Might listen again

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Jan 23 2025

Not overly interesting. Pretty average album overall. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jan 24 2025

It’s okay. Nothing spectacular, just an average rock album. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jan 25 2025

Found this one to be a little too much for me. Overall produced and not as good as some of Bowie’s earlier work. At least it took a chance. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 26 2025

He is an extremely talented bass player and the album really helps solidify that. The songs are kind of lacking and rather slow. Overall it’s interesting, but not as good as it could be. 3/5 Might listen again

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jan 27 2025

It’s kind of a strange album. Very chill musically, but the near spoken word delivery of the lyrics gets kind of repetitive. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 28 2025

I don’t know, once again a pop/electronic album that isn’t too impressive. It’s not bad, but just not very interesting. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jan 29 2025

Lovely album. Her voice is wonderful and the songs are filled with joy and beauty. 4/5 Will listen again

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jan 31 2025

Really enjoyed most of this album. The South American take on psychedelic was great to listen to. Overall I liked this. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Feb 01 2025

I guess I just didn’t find this interesting. Album was too long and most of the songs are meandering. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Feb 02 2025

Ambitious, but falls a little flat. Nothing bad, just not great. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Score by Fugees
Feb 03 2025

A classic. The skits are a bit too much, but the music, the lyrics, the message, all of it is amazing. 4/5 Will listen again

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 04 2025

Harmonizing is great, one of the best groups at doing it and this album is them at their best. Some great classic songs on here. 3.5/5 Would listen again

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Feb 05 2025

Not really my thing. At times kind of a lo-fi sound and sometimes more of a hip hop beat. Not necessarily bad, just not for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Feb 06 2025

Another electronic album. Not very interesting and wouldn’t be fun at all party either. 1.5/5 Won’t listen again

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 07 2025

Good album. “Imagine” is obviously the hit on here. Enjoy the messaging of the album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Feb 08 2025

Good thrash album. Some of the songs would have been better if they extended them. The beginning of “Raining Blood” is great. 3/5 Might listen again

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Feb 09 2025

Has some good songs. Aggressively ‘80s. Her voice is kind of grating at times. 3/5 Might listen again

Make Yourself by Incubus
Feb 10 2025

An okay album. Very much a representation of the Y2K era of music. Like it when they go a little heavier. 3/5 Might listen again

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Feb 11 2025

Fun album. Some really upbeat songs and great use of horns throughout. Doesn’t always hit, but overall a good album. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Feb 12 2025

Really good album. Enjoyed the connective nature of the sons and the melodies were great. When the band explored more the album shines. 4/5 Will listen again

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Feb 13 2025

Great album. The standard for Afro-Cuban jazz. Just some wonderful music. 4/5 Will listen again

Copper Blue by Sugar
Feb 14 2025

Album was okay. Nothing really stood out but nothing was explicitly bad either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Pump by Aerosmith
Feb 15 2025

An okay album. Hasn’t really aged well. The songs are campy and the music isn’t especially good either. There are a couple of known songs, but overall it’s kind of lackluster. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Feb 16 2025

Some fun songs on here. Really enjoyed the organ. Album was good. 3/5 Might listen again

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Feb 17 2025

Really good album. More of a fun/party tone compared to a lot of Tribe albums. Q-Tip is a genius. 4.5/5 Will definitely listen again

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Feb 18 2025

It's a decent album. The first few song were not very interesting, but the album picks up near the end. Some of the later grooves are pretty good. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Feb 19 2025

It’s fine. Nothing overly interesting, but nothing bad either. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Scum by Napalm Death
Feb 20 2025

Interesting choice for this list. The music is frantic and often not synced with the vocals. It’s fast and loud, which is the style, but that makes it less technically impressive. At least the songs and album are short. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Feb 21 2025

Really like the groove on this. Funk and Soul, not much else I could ask for. Overall really good. 4/5 Will listen again

Green by R.E.M.
Feb 22 2025

The messaging is great.Many of the songs are well played and there is a good mix of flat out rock songs and the softer ballads (often accompanied by a mandolin). "Stand" is a great song. 4/5 Will listen again

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Feb 23 2025

Some decent parts of this album. Liked the music on a few songs, lyrically was mostly forgettable. Okay album. 3/5 Might listen again

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 24 2025

It’s an alright album. Very much a classic Springsteen, some fun upbeat tunes and some slow down ones as well. Doesn’t quite have the hits that some of his other albums have. 3/5 Might listen again

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Feb 25 2025

He is extremely talented. Takes the Wu Tang idea and expands. Some of the songs are a little lacking and the skits are pretty unforgettable. Overall a good rap album. 4/5 Will listen again

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Feb 26 2025

One of the more successful Nu Metal albums. Feels a little overproduced and the lyrical themes don’t really resonate with me. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Feb 27 2025

Amazingly talented, her voice, her message and the music just work so well together. A little top heavy in terms of hit songs, but overall a really good album. 4/5 Will listen again

Feb 28 2025

Kind of surprised by this. Much more jazz influenced than I would have thought. Some of the instrumentals were a bit strange, but overall the album was better than anticipated. 3/5 Might listen again

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Mar 01 2025

So fittingly odd. Trying to make a point, but musically a little all over the place. Still not a bad album. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Mar 02 2025

Interesting Hip-Hop album. Liked the use of orchestra strings and he has a very laid back, easy flow. Songs were mostly good, but outside of "Kick Push" nothing really stands out. 3.5/5 Might listen again

My Generation by The Who
Mar 03 2025

The album is okay. This is before the signature sound of the band and is similar to a lot of British rock of that era. Some good songs, but outside of "My Generation" nothing is great. 3/5 Might listen again

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish
Mar 04 2025

Pretty average album. Nothing too notable, yet nothing really bad either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 05 2025

Some songs I like on here. Enjoyed the more stripped down tunes. Needed a few more stand out songs, but overall pretty good. 3/5 Might listen again

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Mar 06 2025

Not very memorable. Songs were okay, but nothing dynamic. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Sulk by The Associates
Mar 07 2025

Just not interesting to me. Wasn’t bad music, just very bland and uninspiring. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Mar 08 2025

There are parts that I enjoyed. I think the music is pretty good and some of the lyrical content is intriguing. Album is too long and they reference Skynyrd a few too many times. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Mar 09 2025

Kind of boring. Not that interesting. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Mar 10 2025

Another electronic album. Listened to while driving, which I think added to the score. Overall it's okay. 3/5 Might listen to again (while driving).

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Mar 11 2025

It was just okay. “Love the One Your With” is the only stand out song. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Mar 12 2025

Kind of bland. Album doesn’t do anything impressive. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Mar 13 2025

Pretty good. Some of the grooves are really well played and funky. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Achtung Baby by U2
Mar 14 2025

It’s okay. Nothing is objectively bad, but just not very interesting either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Mar 15 2025

Enjoyed the keys on this. Songs were mostly fine, but were lacking at times. 3/5 Might listen again

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Mar 16 2025

It was okay. Beats were good, but the lyrics and rhymes were just alright. Also lacks a lot of real standout songs. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Mar 17 2025

Very melodic, almost like an epic in musical form. I liked it, but it does lack any real standout songs. Overall as a concept it was fairly good. 3/5 Might listen again

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 18 2025

Kind of boring. Still find his voice to be sort of annoying. Overall it was okay. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Mar 19 2025

Pretty forgettable. At least it was short. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Mar 20 2025

It was okay. There were some good moments, but it didn’t really capture me. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Boston by Boston
Mar 21 2025

Fairly fun album. Most of the songs are perfect for karaoke. Nothing amazing, but good. 3/5 Might listen again

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Mar 22 2025

Really enjoyed this one. I am familiar with Masekela, but this album was all new to me. The rhythm and grooves are great, and his trumpet playing is fantastic. 4.5/5 Will listen again

C'est Chic by CHIC
Mar 23 2025

Some fun songs on here. The slower songs didn’t really do it for me. The vocals and the bass playing are fantastic. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Mar 24 2025

Decent blues album. Nothing overly impressive, just a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

New Forms by Roni Size
Mar 25 2025

Another electronic album. Still a little tough to listen to casually. Nothing overly impressive. Not the worst electronic album though, nearly jungle. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Mar 26 2025

Definitely odd at times. Not as musically interesting or exploratory as expected. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 27 2025

It’s a good album. Not quite as good as “Are You Experienced?”. “Bold as Love” is the standout song. 3/5 Might listen again

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Mar 28 2025

Sounds like the songs from an off broadway show. Not really for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Mar 29 2025

Good 90’s hip hop album. Nothing overly impressive quite on par with some of his contemporaries, but Premier’s beats are good and the album flows well. 3/5 Might listen again

Mar 30 2025

Pretty bland album. Not really interesting to me. Another album that hasn't aged well. 2/5 Won't listen again

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Mar 31 2025

Not necessarily bad, but not super interesting either. A little better than some of the other albums like it on the list. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Apr 01 2025

Dylan-esque, but not nearly as interesting. Overall, it’s just okay. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

The Visitors by ABBA
Apr 02 2025

Vocals and harmonies are great. Not quite as fun as some of their more famous songs. Still a pretty good album. 3/5 Might listen again

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Apr 03 2025

Good album. Some of the songs fall flat, but when it works, it’s great. 3/5 Might listen again

Kenya by Machito
Apr 04 2025

Enjoyable album. The big band arrangement was interesting and the horns were great. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Quiet Life by Japan
Apr 05 2025

Overall a pretty dull album. Have a hard time listening to lyrics delivered so drably. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Apr 06 2025

Pretty average. Nothing really interesting, but not bad music either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Apr 07 2025

Not very good. Seemed more like noise than music. Not sure how this is considered something that one has to listen to. 1.5/5 Won’t listen again

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 08 2025

Album was okay. Doesn’t have the stand out tracks as other albums. 3/5 Might listen again

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 09 2025

Some really well done funk on here. “Everyday People” and “You Can Make it if You Try” are standouts. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Apr 10 2025

Overall pretty good. Sam goes through his set with hardly taking a breath. Some really classic soul songs. 3.5/5 Would listen to again

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Apr 11 2025

Some fun songs on this. Her production is distinct and the beats are really good. Album loses steam a bit near the end. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Abraxas by Santana
Apr 12 2025

Good mix of Latin grooves and great guitar playing. “Oye Como Va” is a great song. 3.5/5 Would listen again

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Apr 13 2025

Just kind of boring. Not for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Apr 14 2025

Great punk album. Interesting view into the genre in early 1980’s America. “Corona” is well known, but “Viet Nam” is also a standout. 4/5 Will listen again

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Apr 15 2025

Not quite as bad as some of the other electronic albums on this list, but still isn’t my thing. Borderline too boring. 2/5 won’t listen again

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 16 2025

Kind of a miss. Yeah very well known songs, but much of the album falls flat. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

White Ladder by David Gray
Apr 17 2025

Not much distinction between songs. Only on here cause of “Babylon”, which is just an okay song. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Apr 18 2025

An odd album. Like a Dracula soundtrack, bordering on comedic. Think “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Django Django by Django Django
Apr 19 2025

Surprised I enjoyed this. A mix of electronic and some interesting Middle Eastern rhythms. 2.5/5 Might listen again.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Apr 20 2025

Some standard old country. Not my favorite music, but this wasn’t bad. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Apr 21 2025

It’s okay. Felt kind of generic at times, but had some good parts. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Apr 22 2025

Kind of a weird album, with a lot of psychedelic influence. It’s okay. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Apr 23 2025

Her voice and cadence are amazing on this album and work incredibly well with the music. Bass playing is exceptional. Overall a good album. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 24 2025

Like the mix of acoustic and electric. “Powderfinger” is the standout song for me. A good album. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Apr 25 2025

Songs are well done, but become a bit too similar. Not a bad album, just a little too slow for me. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Apr 26 2025

Pretty flat. Non-offensive almost to a fault. It’s not bad music, it just doesn’t inspire at all. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Phrenology by The Roots
Apr 27 2025

The Roots are always kind of a conundrum for me. The idea of a band backed hip hop group is great, but sometimes I feel like they fall flat on albums. This is still good, but it’s just missing something to make it truly great. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Connected by Stereo MC's
Apr 28 2025

Another electronic album. At least this one is fun. Not particularly poignant, but it was listenable. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Purple Rain by Prince
Apr 29 2025

Prince is easily one of the most talented musicians in modern history. Sometimes I feel like his incredible output slightly waters down his talent. There are great songs on this album, but there are a bunch of forgettable ones as well. 3.5/5 Might listen again

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Apr 30 2025

Pretty good live album. Covers are played well and the horns are a great addition to many of his songs. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Smash by The Offspring
May 01 2025

Energy is good, but the songs get a little repetitive. A couple 90’s classic pop punk hits on here. 3.5/5 Migjt listen again

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
May 02 2025

Decent album. Missy and Timberland create such a unique combination. Not as many hits on this record, but still good. 3/5 Might listen again

The Coral by The Coral
May 03 2025

It’s okay, nothing really stands out. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
May 04 2025

Just very average. Not bad but just not interesting in any way. 2/5 Won't listen again

Trio by Dolly Parton
May 05 2025

Each of them is great in their own right, but they harmonize together really well. Not my favorite genre of music, but it was good. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
May 06 2025

Sounded like a French crooner. It was okay, not really something I would like even if it was in English. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
May 07 2025

Missing a real standout song. Album is rather stale. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
May 08 2025

It’s an okay album. Doesn’t quite hold up next to their piers of the time, but isn’t necessarily bad either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
May 09 2025

Pretty forgettable. Not necessarily bad, just missing something. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Clash by The Clash
May 10 2025

Pretty good. As a debut album you can hear a lot of things that become more defined with their later work. I liked this. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

So Much For The City by The Thrills
May 11 2025

The singers voice got to be annoying after a while. The songs were not particularly interesting and the overall the album was kind of monotonous. 2/5 Won't listen again

May 13 2025

Liked her voice. The songs are okay, but there is a real lack of something truly special. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
May 14 2025

It’s not bad. Not overly memorable, but wasn’t a chore to listen to. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
May 15 2025

It’s unique for sure. A bunch of Irish folk punk songs that are fairly catchy but get repetitive. It’s not bad, just very specific. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
May 16 2025

Really enjoy this by Gang Starr. One of the most interesting hip hop duos, with a heavy jazz influence. Premier and Guru work so well together. This is an important album, but they have better ones later in their career. 4/5 Will definitely listen again

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
May 17 2025

A little more upbeat than I expected. Still couldn’t really get into it. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
May 18 2025

It’s not bad. Kind of frantic, but it’s very short. Some well known songs on here. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
May 19 2025

Such a unique sound. Not as hit heavy as some of their later albums, but still really good. “How I Could Just Kill a Man” is the standout song. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
May 20 2025

Songs are well written and his guitar playing is adequate enough for the style. His voice does start to sound grating, but the album is filled with great songs. This is one of Young’s best works. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Sea Change by Beck
May 21 2025

Kind of surprised by this. Wasn’t expecting a more stripped down album from Beck. It was good. 3/5 Might listen again

May 22 2025

It’s okay. There are a few good songs, but there are a few that really amplify what people criticize Dylan about. He has better albums. 3/5 Might listen again

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
May 23 2025

Fun album. Like the grooves and the vocals are beautiful. This is the kind of random music I was hoping to hear on this list. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
May 24 2025

Kind of like background music. Maybe for a B movie. Overall pretty uninspiring. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 25 2025

Album is okay. A little too slow and kind of depressing for me, but it’s clear he is talented. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
May 26 2025

A real back and forth between well thought out songs and some real messes. A mix of hair metal and early 90’s alt rock, not a bad album, just a little too much at times. “Idiots Rule” is a good song, especially with the horns added in. 3/5 Might listen again

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
May 27 2025

Interesting mix of rockabilly, surf rock and punk. The album starts to drag a little bit, but overall it’s good. 3/5 Might listen again

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
May 28 2025

A little too strange. The G-funk beats are a bit messy and some of the lyrics/themes are childish and too crass. “The Humpty Dance” is a classic though. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
May 29 2025

Blend of electronic and Indian music. Didn’t really work for me. A little too disjointed. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Leftism by Leftfield
May 30 2025

Eh, not for me. These electronic albums are pretty tough not in the right setting. 2/5 Won’t listen again

May 31 2025

It’s not bad per se, but it is legitimately background music. Some of the noises were quite irritating after a while. 2/5 Won’t listen again

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jun 01 2025

I’m generally not very keen on Elvis. This album is ok, and the faster paced songs are more enjoyable. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 02 2025

Decent funk album. They music is fairly good and the singing is well done. Just missing a few real standout songs. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Berlin by Lou Reed
Jun 03 2025

Not as good as his other work. Doesn't have any standout songs. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Jun 04 2025

Another electronic album. Still can't convince me this style of music is good for anything but being at a club. Kind of stale. 2/5 Won't listen again

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jun 05 2025

Can really hear Bowie's age on this one. It's not a bad album, just missing something that stands out. He has much better albums. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jun 06 2025

It’s an okay album. Has all the sound and feel of his other albums, just lacks some definitive songs. 3/5 Might listen again

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jun 07 2025

Definitely an interesting album. I can appreciate the musicianship, but this was an album that required more of my attention and I just couldn’t get into it. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 08 2025

Slower version of Springsteen. Songs are well played, but a little lacking in verve. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jun 09 2025

Pretty slow, old country album. Generally not my thing, but at least it’s short. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Infected by The The
Jun 10 2025

Pretty boring and not very noteworthy. Didn’t really catch my attention at all. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jun 11 2025

Good album. Like the energy and the playing is good enough. Feel like this is in the list, solely due to “Epic”. 3/5 Might listen again

Jun 12 2025

The album was okay. Not really my type of music. I think I liked their other album better. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Not what I was expecting from a Beach Boys album. This is much more serious and mature than what one would usually associate with Beach Boys music. It is mostly good, but does lack some real standout songs. Side note: Brian Wilson passed away yesterday, so this album seems a little serendipitous. 3/5 Might listen again

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 14 2025

It is definitely an odd album. Not as of as some of their works to come, but has their distinct style. Not something I would want to repetitively listen too, but enjoyable in a quirky kind of way. 3/5 Might listen again

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Jun 15 2025

Found it to be kind of boring. I feel like it was trying to be edgy and didn’t really accomplish that. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jun 16 2025

Another rather uninspiring 80's British album. Hard to pay attention to it. Everything sounded the same. 2/5 Won't listen again

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jun 17 2025

Fantastic voice. She has a lot of talent, but I just couldn’t get interested in the music. It’s like bad 90’s R&B. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jun 18 2025

This is my last of Drake’s three albums on the list. His music has been one of the only pleasant surprises. This album may not be my favorite of his, but it is a great entry into his music. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Jun 19 2025

Pretty generic sounding grunge album. Not bad, but not nearly as good as some of their contemporaries. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Jun 20 2025

A little better than some of the other electronic albums cause of the vocals. Still not really my thing though. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Jun 21 2025

Like a better version of Coldplay. Still not that good, but it wasn’t horrible either. Started to kind of drag after a while. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Microshift by Hookworms
Jun 22 2025

It’s sort of interesting. But it really lacks something great. It’s another just okay album on this list. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Jun 24 2025

There are a couple of genre defining songs on this album. That doesn't really make up for the rest of it though. The song with Fred Durst is one of the worst things I've heard in years, almost an insult to music as an art form. The playing is okay, but each song sounds similar and the album really drags. 2/5 Won't listen again

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Jun 25 2025

It’s decent. Not transformative or groundbreaking, but a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jun 26 2025

Nothing special or noteworthy. Just another bland album on this list. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Suicide by Suicide
Jun 27 2025

Strange album. Hard to follow and some of the songs are just a slog to get through. At least it was short. 2/5 Won't listen again

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jun 28 2025

Exceptional. The band is very cohesive and the steadiness of the rhythm section and the sharpness of the horns work really well together. Fela is one of the great musical savants of our time and this is one of the more polished offerings by him and Afrika 70. 5/5 Will definitely listen again often

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jun 29 2025

Parts are okay, but the album is mostly forgettable. Don’t really know this album gets on a list of must listen. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Almost offensively bland. Never been much of a U2 fan, but they used to be more interesting. This was just an overly safe album. 2/5 Won’t listen again

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Jul 02 2025

Not a bad album. Lacks a real hot song or two. Didn’t know of this before listening, it’s okay. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Jul 03 2025

More electronic music that doesn’t seem groundbreaking or interesting. It’s not necessarily bad, just not something I would think I would miss out on if I didn’t hear it. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 04 2025

Not a bad album, but nothing on here makes it stand out. A little underwhelming. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Jul 05 2025

Powerful voice. Music with a true purpose to change the world. She was so heavily criticized and turns out she was speaking the truth. Album is good, but a little too slow for me. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jul 06 2025

It’s an alright album. I enjoy some of Pavements music, and this is like a stripped down version of some of that. Missing a real attention grabbing track though. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jul 07 2025

Mostly enjoyable (the song with the kid was a little off putting for me). Liked the songs with the Walter Wanderley Trio backing. Unique voice. 3/5 Might listen again

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jul 08 2025

Good album. Nothing spectacular, but overall solid. 3/5 Might listen again

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Jul 09 2025

Largely forgettable. Nothing too interesting or good on this album. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Jul 10 2025

It’s an okay album. Didn’t have any songs that were overly interesting, but solid as a whole. 3/5 Might listen again

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jul 11 2025

It’s strange. Like horror goth metal. It’s not something I would seek out on my own. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jul 12 2025

For an electronic album, it's not the worst. It has a couple of notable songs that are fairly good. Better than most of the electronic stuff on this list. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jul 13 2025

Pretty forgettable. Nothing really interesting going on. 2/5 Won't listen again

Jul 14 2025

As a country album, it is more palatable than others on this list. That being said, it is still not a great album and looks like most of the songs are not originals. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jul 15 2025

This was a really good album. Full of vibrancy. Language barrier be damned, this is the kind of stuff I was hoping to hear on this list. I enjoyed it. 4/5 Would listen again

Kenza by Khaled
Jul 16 2025

I liked it. Not the easiest of the international albums to listen too. It never seemed to flow right. But, there are some fun songs on here and I appreciated it being included. 3/5 Might listen again

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Jul 17 2025

It’s an okay album. Missing a couple of real standout songs, but overall it’s good. 3/5 Might listen again

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jul 18 2025

Hair/Glam metal. “Pour Some Sugar on Me” is not a good enough song to warrant this album being included on this list. It’s pretty uninspiring and just not that good. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Sheet Music by 10cc
Jul 19 2025

Kind of bland. Nothing too interesting a bad album, just not very interesting either. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jul 20 2025

It’s an okay album. The blues/rock mashup is done well and the singer has a good voice for this style. 3/5 Might listen again

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jul 21 2025

Found this to be fairly uninspiring. Not a bad album, just nothing that makes it standout. 2/5 Won't listen again

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jul 22 2025

It’s a good album. Surprised that I knew as many songs as I did. It is a standout in its genre, I just don’t live it. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jul 23 2025

Not the best indie album I’ve heard, but it’s passable. Wanted to like this more. 3/5 Might listen again

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

It’s a good album. They were really the early masters of psych/metal. Just needs a standout song or two. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Hotel California by Eagles
Jul 25 2025

Bit of a conundrum of a band. They are a talented group of musicians and they are rightfully usually praised for their harmonies. But, they put out some pretty average songs. This album is no different and even with a couple of famous tunes, the album as a whole just kind of falls flat. 2.5/5 Won't listen again.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jul 26 2025

I liked this a little more than the Dinosaur Jr. album I recently had on this list. It's still a little unrefined, but I thought it was a good album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jul 27 2025

Fantastic. Getz and Gilberto compliment each other wonderfully. Getz's playing really livens up each song. This is bossa nova at its finest. This is what this list needs more of. 5/5 Will listen again

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jul 28 2025

Enjoyed this. Probably the best Bowie album I’ve had on the list so far. The album really flows well. “Life on Mars?” is a great song. 4/5 Will listen again

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Jul 29 2025

I liked this album. Good mix of early punk and blues. It did start to taper off towards the end. Still good though. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

More Specials by The Specials
Jul 30 2025

I like Ska. This strays a little too far, while not doing anything that impressive. It does have some real good moments. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Jul 31 2025

It's an okay album. Nothing really offensively bad on it, but doesn't really do anything great either. Pretty average. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Raw Power by The Stooges
Aug 01 2025

Thought this was good. Like the energy. Pretty simplistic, but in a good way. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Overall a decent album. Kind of goes back and forth between up tempo, nearly Stevie Wonder-esque songs, and slower vocal focused tunes. The more uptempo songs are pretty good. Wish the album was more of that. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Aug 03 2025

Interesting album. Some of it sounds like atrium music, the rest is like experimental rock. Doesn’t always work, but at least it was something different. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Yeezus by Kanye West
Aug 04 2025

Interesting, but not really in a good way. He took a big swing incorporating different genres into this album and it mostly misses. Lyrically, the album isn't much more than ego stroking and provocative self fulfilling nonsense. I think people buy a little too much into his "genius". 1/5 Won't listen again

With The Beatles by Beatles
Aug 05 2025

It’s an okay album. Probably on the list to compare to what the Beatles eventually became. Not as many hit songs and much of is pretty average. 3/5 Might listen again

Repeater by Fugazi
Aug 06 2025

I liked it. Got a little repetitive, but the energy is great. Definitely a different style of hardcore. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

The White Room by The KLF
Aug 07 2025

Another British electronic album. At least this one was quite lively. Still not my thing. 2/5 Won't listen again

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Aug 08 2025

Not a bad album, but doesn’t quite hold your attention either. Subject matter is interesting, but the music isn’t as compelling. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Aug 09 2025

It’s an okay metal album. It exists in between thrash metal and more performative versions of the genre. It is a little less serious, which is nice. Kind of wish they leaned into that a little more. Overall not bad. 3/5 Might listen again

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Aug 10 2025

Interesting concept, but the album drags on a bit. Didn’t hold my attention after a while. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Palo Congo by Sabu
Aug 11 2025

Mostly enjoyable. The beginning of the album, which is more drum based, does drag on a bit. When more instruments are brought into the songs, the album really comes alive. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Aug 12 2025

It’s interesting. Pop takes on electronic music and it’s not terrible. Album definitely has some spots that are a little redundant, but this wasn’t the worst thing I’ve heard on this list. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Faust IV by Faust
Aug 13 2025

Strange album, but somehow was kind of into it. It wasn't groundbreaking or life changing, but a solid, fun album that was completely new to me. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Aug 14 2025

I can tell that she is talented, but this just isn’t my kind of music. Pretty average to me. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

New Wave by The Auteurs
Aug 15 2025

Album was just okay. Felt kind of flat. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Aug 16 2025

Overall a good album. Like the switching vocals between songs. Energy was good. 3/5 Might listen again

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Aug 17 2025

Didn’t do much for me. Some of the songs were fine, but nothing too interesting. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Aug 18 2025

More refined album by the band. Songs are pretty good and the tone of the album works. Overall, thought this was good. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Aug 19 2025

Is it impressive to release two versions of an album in different languages? Yes, yes it is. But that doesn't necessarily mean that either version is that good. I applaud the effort, even if I didn't like it that much. The french version was better. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Teen Dream by Beach House
Aug 20 2025

Kind of boring. Not really for me. The music is pleasant, but doesn’t really do anything interesting. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Aug 21 2025

Everything sounds a little too similar. Her voice and delivery are good, but the album lacks a bit of substance. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Arular by M.I.A.
Aug 22 2025

Eccentric, but overdone. Lacks the polish of her other album on the list and lacks definitive standout songs. At least it was lively. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Electric by The Cult
Aug 23 2025

Not a bad album, but definitely lacks in quality. At least it was easy to get through. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Aug 24 2025

The band does really well with the faster more funk based songs. They slow it down a little too much and lose what they do best. 3/5 Might listen again

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Aug 25 2025

A weird album. It's definitely interesting, but not always in a good way. If you told me that this was put on this list because it was pulled from a hat, I would believe you. It's not horrible, but it is a gentle reminder that the list is 1001 albums to listen to before you die, not 1001 GOOD albums to listen too before you die. 2/5 Won't listen again

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Aug 26 2025

More electronic music, but now from Australia! This was at least more lo-fi, and a little easier to play just doing stuff around the house. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Aug 27 2025

It is overall a good reggae album. Not necessarily his best, but still great. “Brand New Second Hand” is awesome. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Aug 28 2025

It's not bad, but not really all that interesting either. Kind of just goes along. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Aug 29 2025

Pretty much genre defining for late 90's, early 2000's pop music. It has a few widely successful songs, but the rest of the album is pretty boring and uninspired. I can remember how popular this was when I was younger, even though I wasn't remotely interested in this kind of music. More culturally relevant than musically. 2/5 Won't listen again

Aug 30 2025

Found this to be kind of boring. Little distinction between songs. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Aug 31 2025

Not for me. Fairly repetitive and a real downer. They are trying to make you feel like crap. 2/5 Won't listen again

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Sep 01 2025

Album starts strong with the first 3 songs. It does wander a bit after that, and really loses steam by the end. Still an overall good album. “Walk of Life” is catchy. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Sep 02 2025

It’s just alright. Nothing overly interesting, and she has better stuff on this list. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Sep 03 2025

Meh. Not very inspiring. Even lacks a big hit of his. 2/5 Won't listen again.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Sep 04 2025

It’s a decent album. His style is fairly unique and this album is very much in that vein. I liked it. 3.5/5 Might listen again

California by American Music Club
Sep 05 2025

It’s not bad, but it isn’t that good either. Fairly forgettable. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Technique by New Order
Sep 06 2025

Goes back and forth between new wave electronica and post punk. Feels like two separate album ideas in one. Not bad, but a little confusing. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Sep 07 2025

Enjoyed this one. This is the kind of album I was hoping to see more of on this list. Some really nice grooves on here. 4/5 Will listen again

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Sep 08 2025

Interesting album. Seems to leave the southern biker blues behind and transition into a more modern dare I say strip club blues? The album has some of their more famous songs on it, but not much outside of that. 3/5 Might listen again

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Sep 09 2025

It’s okay. Obviously it’s very similar to Oasis, but without the standout songs. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Sep 10 2025

Pretty generic and monotonous. Another bland electronica album. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Sep 11 2025

Very top heavy album. Starts off strong with some classic disco/funk pop songs, but really loses steam after that. The ballad is kind of an album killer. Bass on the album is quite good. Overall the album is still fun and fairly good. 3/5 Might listen again

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Sep 12 2025

Very good album. Full immersion into American blues. “Rocks Off” starts the album off with a lot of energy and the album keeps up for most of it. Probably the bands most triumphant effort. 4.5/5 Definitely will listen again

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 13 2025

Influential but doesn’t hold up over time. Outdated rhymes and beats. Not bad, just lacks something. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Specials by The Specials
Sep 14 2025

I like ska. This album is an important part of the genre’s history. There are some really good songs, including a couple 2nd wave greats. The album does lose steam here and there. Overall it’s pretty good, just not great. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 15 2025

Liked parts of it, but overall had a hard time staying engaged. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Sep 16 2025

Sometimes pop music can’t escape the time it was created. This is one of those times. The album is aggressively of the early 2000’s and has mostly not aged well. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Sep 17 2025

Pretty good jazz album. Lacks a little flair that other more recognizable albums have but it is still enjoyable. Like how it got a bit “out there” near the end. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Sep 18 2025

Album was good. Liked the fiddle. 3/5 Might listen again

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Sep 19 2025

Didn’t find this too interesting. Musically wasn’t bad, but just didn’t really grab me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Sep 20 2025

Not bad. A decent early punk album. 3/5 Might listen again

LP1 by FKA twigs
Sep 21 2025

It is an interesting album, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is good. Hard to track at times, and is filled with the manic attention span of the modern world. 2/5 Won't listen again

Sep 22 2025

Not a bad album. Liked this more than some of his other work. Overall, it was enjoyable. 3/5 Might listen again

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Sep 23 2025

The album was okay. No issues, just not overly interesting. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Sep 24 2025

Powerful voice. Some of the music is a little too 80’s, but it was still good overall. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Van Halen by Van Halen
Sep 25 2025

Fun, but it's dumb fun. Album never really relinquishes it's pace and is over before you know it. Lacking some substance, but it is still pretty good. 3/5 Might listen again

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 26 2025

Still don’t get it. Found this to be rather boring and self indulgent. Don’t really understand the hype. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Sep 27 2025

Wow. This was pretty tough to get through. Much like his other albums, this one shows off his talent as a rapper, but also his desire to make shocking music. When it’s good, it’s done really well. But his imagery of violence and sex are hard to get through. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Sep 28 2025

Talented singer/songwriter. Album is good, just not for me. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Sep 29 2025

Interesting mix of instrumental songs and tracks that are uniquely the Beastie Boys. It mostly works, but does drag towards the end of the album. "Sabotage" is just such a good song. Really shows of their style. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Being There by Wilco
Sep 30 2025

Good album. Some good songs, but album is a little too long. Overall, enjoyed it. 3/5 Might listen again

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Oct 01 2025

Interesting. The format of skit then song about skit was done well. Musically, I found the album to be lacking, but it was overall okay. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Oct 02 2025

Fun metal album. Nothing groundbreaking but still a good time. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Oct 04 2025

Strange early hip hop concept album. Beats are pretty good. Lyrics aren't the strongest and drift into some weird themes. Not a bad album, and can see how it influenced other artists. 3/5 Might listen again

The Slider by T. Rex
Oct 05 2025

Enjoyable album. Catchy songs and easy listening. Pretty good. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Oct 06 2025

Good album. There were definitely slower parts that I didn't like as much, but most of the album was interesting and kind of captivating. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Street Life by The Crusaders
Oct 07 2025

Fun little jazz/funk album. Nothing groundbreaking, but still done well enough. 3/5 Might listen again

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Oct 08 2025

The comparison to the Velvet Underground is obvious and not quite on the same level. Pretty raw lyrically. 3/5 Might listen again

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 09 2025

Interesting rap album. Very talented, but I find it hard to keep up and enjoy him sometimes. 3/5 Might listen again

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Oct 10 2025

Randomly bough this album a couple of years ago, and it did not disappoint. Grooves are well done and the album is really good. A good starting point to get into music from Africa. 4/5 Will listen again

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Oct 11 2025

The groove and vibe of this album are great. Her voice is smooth and sultry. It is a really good album. 4/5 Would listen again

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Oct 12 2025

Lovely mambo/dance percussion focused album. Fun. 3.5/5 Probably would listen again

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Oct 13 2025

Skits are bad. His cadence is still one of the greatest even after all these years. The hit songs are great, but much of the album is overly misogynistic and crass. 3/5 Might listen again

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Oct 14 2025

It's okay. Nothing too interesting, but not a bad album either. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Oct 15 2025

It’s an okay album. I feel like there is some real bias by the author of the list on this one. Does having 1 hit song mean the whole album is worry of one’s time? Most of the album is rather flat and uninspired. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Damaged by Black Flag
Oct 16 2025

Raw energy. Simplistic in a good way. A true keystone in American Punk music. 4/5 Would listen again.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Oct 17 2025

Beautiful voice and lyrics. A bit too slow for me at times, but a good album nonetheless. “Red Clay Halo” is a delightful song. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Oct 18 2025

Grime can be such a hard genre to get into. This album has some interesting moments, but really struggles to be attention worthy. Overall it's listenable, but not very good. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Oct 19 2025

Album was just okay. Nothing really resonated with me and it was kind of boring at times. A little too country for my taste. 2/5 Won't listen again

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Oct 20 2025

It was okay. Kind of dream/techno pop. Started to lose interest near the end. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Oct 21 2025

Didn’t find this to be overly interesting. Wasn’t necessarily bad, but had a hard time paying attention after a while. 2/5 Won’t listen again

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Oct 22 2025

Mishmash of genres with nearly spoken word over top. Album should have been more interesting, but comes off as immature and boring. 2/5 Won't listen again

Synchronicity by The Police
Oct 23 2025

Parts of this album are fantastic. I really enjoy “Synchronicity II”. Other parts of the album kinda fall flat. Makes sense that this was the band’s final effort. Seems like they were running out of steam. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Oct 24 2025

Another album by this band. Still find it to be a bit boring. I guess it’s just not for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Oct 25 2025

An okay album. Sounds mostly the same and doesn’t have the hit songs that other albums have. Harmonies are good. At least it was brief. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Oct 26 2025

Not really into Elvis, especially an album full of covers. At least it was short. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Oct 27 2025

Never heard of this band or album. It was okay. Nothing particularly great, but wasn't bad either. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Oct 28 2025

Real smooth r&b. Pretty good, kind of lost interest after a while, but still was a good listen. 3/5 Might listen again

The Predator by Ice Cube
Oct 29 2025

An interesting album. Ice Cube tackles race in the aftermath of Rodney King and the LA riots. This aspect of the album is poignant and important. He also, however, continues the misogyny that plagues rap music til this day. Overall, its a good album that is as relevant now as it was when it was made. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Oct 30 2025

It was okay. Still not that persuaded by country. Kind of sounds like early pop/country. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Oct 31 2025

Weird cover. Album wasn't bad. Didn't really retain anything, but it sounded good. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Nov 01 2025

Decent album. Very similar to CSN. Harmonies were good. 3/5 Might listen again

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Nov 02 2025

A little better than some of the other country albums on the list. Still lacking something that would keep me interested or wanting to listen again. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Nov 03 2025

I feel like this was slightly more upbeat than their other album on the list. Still a little too slow for me, but it is well made music. Just not something I would go back to. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Destroyer by KISS
Nov 04 2025

Never really saw the appeal of KISS. It’s like the pop version of arena rock. This album was missing a lot and was fairly uninteresting throughout. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Nov 05 2025

Didn’t resonate with me. Found this to be not very good. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Nov 06 2025

Album is alright. Another included on the list because of 1 hit song. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Nov 07 2025

Another Costello album. Still find his voice to be grating and the songs to be boring. I guess I just don't like his music. 2/5 Won't listen again

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Nov 08 2025

I like some of Cohen’s work. This one just didn’t do it for me. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Nov 09 2025

Have never heard of this artist before. There were some good ideas on this album, but he attempts too much overall. I think it would have been better if it was more focused. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Closer by Joy Division
Nov 10 2025

It's an okay album. A little too sad for me, but is a really good version of sad music. On a few songs, it seemed like the lyrics and music didn't match, which was kind of odd. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 11 2025

Talented songwriting and harmonies are well done. A little too slow and melodic for me. 3/5 Might listen again

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Nov 12 2025

Okay album. Never heard of it before. Nothing spectacular, but was a decent listen. 3/5 Might listen again

Nov 13 2025

Not a bad album, but not overly interesting either. There is one song that was kind of familiar, but I’m not sure that warrants the album being on the list. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Nov 14 2025

Good album. I liked the bluesy parts. Nothing revolutionary, but a pretty good listen. 3/5 Might listen again

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Nov 15 2025

Surprisingly more upbeat than his other albums. Still not totally into it. Not bad, just not for me. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Nov 16 2025

Good album. Drumming is really good, and the band has the ability to get into a groove. They are better when it is upbeat. 3.5/5 Probably would listen again

Nov 17 2025

A very well done conscious hip hop album. The beats are top notch and Common’s style fits the vibe. The homophobic stuff is strange, and seems out of place . “The 6th Sense” is a great song. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Bossanova by Pixies
Nov 18 2025

Good album. Nothing mind blowing but an overall solid album. 3/5 Might listen again

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Nov 19 2025

He is just one of those unique artists that has a sound of their own. The album is a great example of his style and is so playful. It’s good, but I can see why some people don’t like it. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Nov 20 2025

At times it is a mature/introspective album from a man who has just been shot 5 times. 2Pac is a polarizing figure. His lyrics tackle some very personal and societal issues, but he didn’t always live what he preached. It’s a good album, but definitely has some weak points. 3/5 Might listen again

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Nov 21 2025

Strangely, the drums and bass lines are quite good on most of the album. That being said, the album definitely gets repetitive and eventually became hard to keep concentration. It's not a bad album, just not very good either. 3/5 Might listen again

Future Days by Can
Nov 22 2025

I liked the exploratory nature of the album. The band is taking some risks and it mostly comes off. Overall, it was good. 3/5 Might listen again

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Nov 23 2025

Really good album. More of a ritualistic fever dream than some of his more popular work, the drumming here sort of lures you in throughout. I do like his more upbeat music over this, but this is still really good. He is one of the more unique artist to have made it big. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Nov 24 2025

Good album. Missing a little something special. Prefer Village Green and Arthur over this. Still a good listen though. 3/5 Might listen again

Black Metal by Venom
Nov 25 2025

Kind of liked it. Not the best metal album ever, but it was good for today. The more thrash/hardcore songs were better. 3/5 Might listen again

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 26 2025

Good album. Not necessarily something I would routinely seek out, but in the right circumstances it works. 3/5 Might listen again

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 27 2025

I like parts of this album. There are some decent songs and I always enjoy horns in rock music, but the lesser known songs are kind of boring and sometimes I can't fully get behind the boss. 3/5 Might listen again

Sound Affects by The Jam
Nov 28 2025

Didn't mind it, but wasn't blown away either. Another English band that probably has more relevance to the list creator than anything else. Overall, not bad, but I'm sure there will be some omissions from this list that deserve more attention. 3/5 Might listen again

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Nov 29 2025

There are some really amazing explorative sections of music on this album. There is also some parts that just kind of meander a little too much. This is so close to being a truly amazing album. 4/5 Will listen again

Nov 30 2025

It was okay. Reminds me a little of Leo Kottke, but without the guitar skills. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Dec 01 2025

Another album that is only relevant for one song. I'm sure this was a big hit in Great Britain in the 80's, but some songs on this album are just laughably bad. 2/5 Won't listen again

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Dec 02 2025

It's a good album, but a little too "big band" for me. I prefer his more experimental stuff late on. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Slayed? by Slade
Dec 03 2025

It’s not bad, but it is fairly uninspired and kind of bland. Hard to distinguish from other bands of that era. Must have been relevant for the list creator. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Dec 04 2025

It’s a good album. The title track is definitely the best and much of the album isn’t at that level. But the grooves are good and Green’s voice is great. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

John Prine by John Prine
Dec 05 2025

Really good album. Witty and poignant, Prine's debut is a classic. "Illegal Smile" and "Flag" are favorites if mine and the whole album is worth listening to. 4/5 Will listen again

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Dec 06 2025

Pretty forgettable. Having a hard time remembering anything about this album. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Dec 08 2025

This one just didn't really hit for me. It's almost too experimental for what I can only assume was an album created to sell. I found it hard to pay attention. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Roots by Sepultura
Dec 09 2025

I liked some of the influences brought into the genre here. Vocals were a little tough at times. Not bad, but nothing super interesting either. 3/5 Might listen again

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Dec 10 2025

Fairly average 2000's indie rock album. Surprised I recognized a track on here, but there were other songs that sounded very similar to it. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Dec 11 2025

Not bad. Enjoyed the horns. Seemed to be slightly ska inspired. Overall a decent listen. 3/5 Might listen again

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Dec 12 2025

It’s not the best album out there, but it is fairly fun. Like that it has some pretty cool guests like Q-tip, Bootsy Collins and Maceo Parker. “Groove” is a fun song, but the rest of the album fails to live up to that standard. 3/5 Might listen again

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Dec 13 2025

Strange. Almost like your weird friend who plays guitar at house parties. It’s an okay album. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Pornography by The Cure
Dec 14 2025

A little too dark and dreary for me. I am a little familiar with The Cure's hit songs and there wasn't much on this album that had that level of playing. It's just not for me. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Dec 15 2025

Good album. Reminds me a bit of Dylan mixed with Kottke. I've listened to a few Cohen records for this list, and I think I like his earlier stuff better. 3/5 Might listen again

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Dec 16 2025

It’s an okay album. Her voice is strikingly beautiful and some of the songs are really good. There are a few that start to get close to renaissance fair music and this is what hurts the album. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Dec 17 2025

This one kind of falls in a guilty pleasure category for me. It has more than a few good songs and I think the playing on the album is quite good for the time period it came out. It is a great example of post-grunge 90's alt rock. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Dec 18 2025

This is the kind of post-punk that I enjoy. Was familiar with this album, but have never listened before and found it to be lively and well played. It is very good. 4/5 Will likely listen again

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Dec 19 2025

I go back and forth with Young. I liked this one. It’s raw and gritty. The guitar playing fits well and the band really melds together. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Dec 20 2025

Simplistic, but in a good way. Well written songs and melodies. A little one note at times. Overall a good album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 21 2025

Album of two halves. First half is really good Bowie, second half is too out there and kind of forced experimental. Overall the album is good, just could have been better. 3/5 Might listen again

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Dec 22 2025

Enjoyed it. Makes sense since it is Woody Guthrie’s lyrics. Cool idea for an album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Dec 23 2025

A little too slow for me. Sounded like songs from a bad play. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Pink Flag by Wire
Dec 24 2025

New to me, and I enjoyed it. Can hear the punk influence. Reminds me a bit of Television. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Traffic by Traffic
Dec 25 2025

Liked parts of this album. Some good psychedelic funky bluesy stuff going on, but it does have some duds. Overall a good album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Dec 26 2025

Like the energy. Some of the songs are lacking something and can be a bit repetitive. Overall a good hard rock album. 3/5 Might listen again

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Dec 27 2025

Still don’t see the appeal of Waits. Just not for me, I guess. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Close To You by Carpenters
Dec 28 2025

Some decent songs on here. Enjoyed the cover of "Help!". A little too ethereal at points, but overall a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Dec 29 2025

It’s a decent album, it is obviously just too long. I struggled to be present the whole time. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Dec 30 2025

Didn’t find this to be that interesting, I guess it’s not for me. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Dec 31 2025

Enjoyed this album. Playing is really good and the band is tight. Just a little slow for my taste, but overall a really good jazz album. 4/5 Will listen again

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jan 01 2026

Parts of this album I liked, some parts not so much. The more renaissance style music I wasn't a fan of, but there were some good songs and catchy pieces of music. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jan 02 2026

The playing is fantastic. It is something you have to commit time to and listen to the whole thing, which would make repeat listens a little tough. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jan 03 2026

Decent thrash album. Nothing outstanding, but overall solid. 3/5 Might listen again

D by White Denim
Jan 04 2026

Never heard of this band before. Like a pop version of a jam band. Overall the album was enjoyable. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jan 05 2026

This one was tough to listen to. The tracks with industrial noise were a slog, and even the actual songs were hard to want to finish. This has got to be one of the worst albums on this list. 1/5 Definitely won't listen again

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 06 2026

Like the mix of horns and string instruments. Seems to be many influences and the album is pretty fun. It does get a bit repetitive. 3/5 Might listen again

One World by John Martyn
Jan 07 2026

The music on here is pretty good for most of the album. The lyrics and vocal delivery leave something to be desired. It could be better. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jan 08 2026

I'm sure it was relevant when it was released, but this album was pretty boring. A lot of ambient noise, mixed with fairly rudimentary electronic music. Just not my cup of tea. 2/5 Won't listen again

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jan 09 2026

It was okay. I liked some of the themes but it was a bit slow and hard to pay attention. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jan 10 2026

I thought it was okay. A little repetitive, but I liked how the songs segued together. In retrospect, I enjoyed “Autobahn” more than I realized. 3/5 Might listen again

Jan 11 2026

I liked it. Album had a certain ease to it. Like the productions mix of genres. Overall a good album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Kid A by Radiohead
Jan 12 2026

I liked this more than other Radiohead albums. It was a little more of a finished idea and some of the grooves were good. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 13 2026

More electronic than I was expecting. Some of the grooves are really good. Overall, it’s a good album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jan 14 2026

Fun and lively album. Sound bites are interesting, but don’t always work. It’s easy to listen to and pretty good. 3.5/5 Will listen again

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jan 15 2026

He’s very good at what he does, it’s just not for me. Smooth, clean vocals. A little too slow. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

Jan 16 2026

It’s okay. Fairly basic rhymes and beats. Doesn’t really hold up as much as other albums from the early years. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Jan 17 2026

Fun album. Has a few hits, but some of the other songs aren’t quite the same quality. Overall, it’s good. 3/5 Might listen again

White Light by Gene Clark
Jan 18 2026

Just okay. Similar to Dylan and Jackson Browne at times. Kind of a one note album. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jan 19 2026

Another British post punk album. It was okay at times, but really overbearing as well. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jan 20 2026

For an electronic album, I didn't mind it. It had some fun parts and I thought the Neil Young cover was at least interesting. 3/5 Might listen again

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jan 21 2026

It's a good album, but it unfortunately will get compared to a proper Steely Dan album, which it is inferior to. It has all the marks of a Dan album, without that certain something extra to make it really good. 3/5 Might listen again

Jan 22 2026

Album is okay. Kind of forgettable. A little boring. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jan 23 2026

The album kind of meanders a bit. The best parts are with Del. A few really well done songs that are rather infectious. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Jan 24 2026

It’s an okay album. I liked the horns, but no songs really stood out for me. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jan 25 2026

Really enjoyed this. Liked the mix of shorter songs and the more traditional long format afrobeat songs. It is a bit overproduced and loses some of the raw energy that makes his fathers music so captivating. Still a really great record. 4/5 Will listen again

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 26 2026

The album is okay, it’s just not music I would normally listen to. A little too slow. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

1999 by Prince
Jan 27 2026

Great album, probably Prince's best. Truly represents his unique sound and has some fantastic funk grooves. Some of the songs are a little self indulgent and lacking the same quality as the rest of the album, but it still is a good listen. "1999" and "D.M.S.R." are highlights. 4/5 Will listen again

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Jan 28 2026

It was good. Kind of reminded me a bit of Yo La Tengo. Catchy at times, but also a bit repetitive. 3/5 Might listen again

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jan 29 2026

It’s a good representation of the band. Playing is clean. Not too familiar with their catalog, but knew a couple songs. 3/5 Might listen again

Forever Changes by Love
Jan 30 2026

Album was okay. Nothing really grabbed my attention, but it wasn't necessarily bad. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jan 31 2026

Love it. A little bias, as this is an album I have owned and listen to for years. J5 was the first concert I ever attended more than 20 years ago. This album is more refined than it's predecessors (Quality Control is their best work) and continues the groups social conscious rapping and great dj-ing. "What's Golden" is one of the best songs they have ever recorded. 5/5 Will definitely listen again

Tical by Method Man
Feb 01 2026

Pretty good early 90's rap album. Method Man has always had a certain smoothness to his style of rapping and this album is a great example of that. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Feb 02 2026

A little too slow and drawn out for me. Playing was fairly good, just not my kind of music. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Feb 03 2026

This didn't do it for me. Felt a little overproduced and the song writing was lacking. I'm guessing this was a fairly big swing to do something different, which i commend, but it falls flat for me. 2/5 Won't listen again

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Feb 04 2026

The album is really well done. There are numerous hits on here and getting some pretty heavy hitters to guest on some songs was a great idea. This is Kanye at his best. It's too bad he turned into such a piece of shit. 4/5 album, 0/5 human, probably won't listen again

Nixon by Lambchop
Feb 05 2026

Strange album. Has some decent grooves and melodies, but the singing is truly bad. Like startlingly bad. 2/5 Won't listen again

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Feb 06 2026

It's okay. Fits into the "has one hit, but that shouldn't mean the whole album is a necessary listen" category. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again.

Feb 07 2026

Decent electronic album. Gets a little repetitive, in that most songs use a short loop for lyrics, but at least it is done well. “Praise You” is really good. 3/5 Might listen again

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Feb 08 2026

Really good album. It is just so smooth. The organ is great and sounds like you are in the room with it, and the rest of the band is wonderfully cohesive. 4/5 Will listen again

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Feb 09 2026

Kind of slow and boring. Sounds like the music for an indie film. The covers were okay. 2/5 Won't listen again

Feb 10 2026

It’s a strange album. Has some decent grooves, but is musically all over the place and becomes a little too hectic. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Feb 11 2026

It's okay. Some of their other albums on this list I thought were better. Just kind of noisy. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Feb 12 2026

Just don't get the appeal. Album picked up a little towards the end. But it mostly sounds like a drunk lounge singer in an off-strip Vegas hotel. I guess it's not for me. 2/5 Won't listen again

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Feb 13 2026

Decent album. Reggae that I have never heard before. Kind of goes in and out of other genres as well, which is hit or miss. It was enjoyable. 3/5 Might listen again

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Feb 14 2026

A little boring. She seems uninterested in making the album, which is a stylistic choice. Some of the music was okay. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Feb 15 2026

Well done, short album. I think this album would suffer if the songs were longer. Intensity is great. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Feb 16 2026

Atmospheric electronic album. Gets repetitive and drags on a little too long. 2/5 Won't listen again

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 17 2026

Good album. Has some fun covers and the playing is consistent throughout. Some well done early funk. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Feb 18 2026

I get why this is on the list. It's just not very interesting besides its historical relevance. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Feb 19 2026

It's a good album. Straight forward blues/rock that you would expect from White. 3/5 Might listen again

Illmatic by Nas
Feb 20 2026

Really good album. His rhymes and delivery are exceptional. The beats are good, though a bit repetitive. The album only lacks a truly great song. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Third by Soft Machine
Feb 21 2026

It's a little long winded at times, but there is some really nice music on the album. 3/5 Might listen again

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Feb 22 2026

It's a decent album. Nothing extraordinary, but it's solid. 3/5 Might listen again

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Feb 23 2026

A little slow musically, but Scott-Heron's voice and message are profound. He should be more universally revered and is one of the truly great musical poets of our time. 4/5 Will listen again

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Feb 24 2026

An interesting album. Appreciate having something like this to listen to, but wish it wasn't a soundtrack. There is so much beautiful, fulfilling music in the world and this was so close to being a better pick to represent India. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Feb 25 2026

Sigh. Another British post punk album. It's not necessarily bad, just getting a little bored of so much music that sounds so similar. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Feb 26 2026

Album is significant in the history of rap music. But, it struggles a little when the music becomes more r&b focused. The more upbeat, rap songs, are decent. 3/5 Might listen again

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Feb 27 2026

It’s okay. I haven’t listened to much Alice Cooper, but I was a bit surprised by how tame it was. Definitely not what I expected compared to his look. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Feb 28 2026

Slow and kind of meandering. Lacks the quality they have on their other albums. Not necessarily a bad album though. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Mar 01 2026

Kind of boring. Album dragged on too long. No song really jumped out. 2/5 Won't listen again

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 02 2026

I don't know why I am always so surprised when indie rock albums use synthesizers and other modern electronic instruments. The album is okay, but definitely drags on a bit and becomes a little boring. I enjoyed their earlier album more. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Mar 03 2026

Bit of a back and forth album. Some songs are engaging and some are meandering. I liked this, but it could have been better. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 04 2026

Excellent album. Jorge Ben Jor's foray into electric music is a fantastic mix of bossa nova and latin funk. The album is filled with vibrant energy and some really good grooves. 4.5/5 Will definitely listen again

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Mar 05 2026

I understand the relevance of this album and why it is on the list. There are a few good songs and I really like the guest artists. It is a bit dated, both musically and her delivery, but she is still a great talent. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Mar 06 2026

Kind of messy. Didn't really hold my attention. There were some parts, musically, that were interesting. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Mar 07 2026

Like the energy. Album is a good mix of indie/punk. I enjoyed it. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Mar 08 2026

It's okay. Some of the songs are passable and at least it was upbeat. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 09 2026

This was more enjoyable than the other Elvis Costello albums I've endured on this list. Wish some of those spots could have gone to more adventurous and better music. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Mar 10 2026

Top heavy. The hits are recognizable, but the rest of the album falls a little flat. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Tapestry by Carole King
Mar 11 2026

Great singing and playing. Songs are well written and performed at a high level. Overall a really good album. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Mar 12 2026

It’s okay. No real standout songs but the playing is good. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Mar 13 2026

Kind of boring. Had a hard time paying attention towards the end. Not necessarily bad, just not something I found to be good. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Mar 14 2026

There are a few fun songs on here. But Ferrell’s voice becomes a little taxing over the length of the album. 3/5 Might listen again

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Mar 15 2026

Beautiful voice and songs. Guitar playing is good and the albums relaxed vibe works well. 3.5/5 Might listen again

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 16 2026

As far as piano based soft rock goes, this is a great album. There are many of Joel's hits on here. Just not a style I would usually listen too. 3.5/5 Might listen again

The Bends by Radiohead
Mar 17 2026

Enjoyed this more than the other Radiohead albums I've had so far on this list. It's more straightforward and more of a rock based album. I prefer this over the more ambient and distorted albums they made later. 3.5/5 Might listen again

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Mar 18 2026

It's a decent 90's alt rock album. Didn't really move the needle for me, but wasn't bad. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Mar 19 2026

It was okay. Songwriting was fine and some of the songs were fun. “Coconut” is the famous track, but it’s silly. 3/5 Might listen again

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Mar 20 2026

Really good songwriting. Her delivery is great as well, so effortless, like a soothing breeze. She really is amazing. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Mar 21 2026

Surprisingly funky. Some good grooves on here. It's a fun album, but maybe gets a little tiresome towards the end. 3/5 Might listen again

Mar 22 2026

Decent album. Keys are played very well. Overall, pretty good. 3/5 Might listen again

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Mar 23 2026

Liked it. Strong vocal performance. Band was good enough. 3/5 Might listen again

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Mar 24 2026

Exceptional guitar work. Songs are beautifully played. His style of guitar-centric music is becoming more influential these days, which is well deserved. 4/5 Will listen again

Skylarking by XTC
Mar 25 2026

Mostly forgettable. Not necessarily bad, just another UK post punk album on this list that doesn't really impress much. 2.5/5 Won't listen again.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Mar 26 2026

Some interesting pieces of music on the album, but some real meandering parts as well. Liked the bluesy parts of "Who Do You Love". 2.5/5 Might listen again

Liquid Swords by GZA
Mar 27 2026

The music has that unique Wu-Tang flair. Songs are largely done well, and GZA is surely talented. "Liquid Swords" is great but the album is just missing a couple more real great songs to make it a truly great album. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Mar 28 2026

Repetitive electronic music. Most of the lyrics are whispered. Hard to keep myself interested towards the end. 2/5 Won't listen again

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 29 2026

Fun album. Easy to put on a dance to. Playing is really good. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 30 2026

Don't typically enjoy this style of music, but this was better than I expected. I think the tone held just enough to not just be noise. 3/5 Might listen again

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Mar 31 2026

Enjoyed it. Definitely missing some of the raw energy that Iggy Pop is known for. 3/5 Might listen again

Stankonia by OutKast
Apr 01 2026

Has some great songs. "B.O.B." is just an amazing example of how great the duo can be. The skits are a bit cumbersome, and there are a few misses on the album, but overall its pretty good. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Apr 02 2026

Interesting album. Very stripped down and raw. Lyrically odd and her delivery is a bit strange, but the album is decent and I think she might be a genius, just one that makes music that doesn't always translate. 3/5 Might listen again

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Apr 03 2026

Kind of uninteresting. Another post-punk album that mostly lands flat. 2/5 Won't listen again

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Apr 04 2026

It's fun, catchy and simple. Would I go out of my way to listen to it? Probably not, but it's not bad music. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Apr 05 2026

There are some classic pop songs on this album and I like the overall message. It does suffer from sounding so 80's and there are parts of the album that seem to drag on. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Apr 06 2026

Vocals are great, the songwriting is interesting. The songs are a bit too slow for me and the album never really changes gears. She is an obvious talent. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Apr 07 2026

Have never really listened to her before. She is talented, but the vibe and mood of this album just didn't do it for me. Too slow and the near whispering of the vocal became tiresome after a while. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Melodrama by Lorde
Apr 08 2026

Third album in a row that sounds like this. It felt like most of the album was the same song. She is clearly talented, just not for me. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Apr 09 2026

It's fine. Get's repetitive. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Apr 10 2026

Liked some of it on the first half of the album, then it started to drag a bit. Some good energy, but not much substance overall. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Apr 11 2026

Fantastic album. Possibly the best of the solo Beatles albums. The first LP is flawless and there are so many great songs. There is this loveliness to the album that is very enjoyable. 5/5 Will definitely listen again

Apr 12 2026

Some songs were decent, others not so much. Liked the energy early, but the album started to lose me near the end. Really cool that Dr. John is on a song. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 13 2026

Really interesting jazz fusion. Probably Zappa at his least odd. Album has some really good grooves. 4/5 Will listen again

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Apr 14 2026

I'm not a huge Dylan fan, but this is some of his best work. A lot of classic songs and this was his around his peak as a songwriter. A few tracks meander a little too much, but this was an enjoyable album to listen to. 4/5 Will listen again

Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 15 2026

Like the straightforward rock songs and the bluest guitar. There is this slower songs left me wanting. It’s a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

American Gothic by David Ackles
Apr 16 2026

Didn't do it for me. Sounds like uninspired show tunes. Not even interesting enough to justify this over many other albums in time. 1.5/5 Won't listen again

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Apr 17 2026

It’s an okay album. There isn’t a real standout song. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Tommy by The Who
Apr 18 2026

It's an ambitious project. There are a lot of songs that are essentially scores and they are okay. Not as many great songs. Appreciate the effort of this, but it does drag on a little. 3.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Apr 19 2026

Didn't mind this in the end. I thought her vocals were beautiful and the playing matched the energy of the album. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Apr 20 2026

It's alright. Songs are played well, but a fairly simple and kind of repetitive. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Apr 21 2026

Great energy. The drumming is fantastic. Really enjoyed this. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Apr 22 2026

So many good grooves. Rhythm section is great and so are the horns. The bass player kills it. A very fun album. 4/5 Will listen again

Dog Man Star by Suede
Apr 23 2026

Like a slightly more upbeat The Smith’s. Didn’t really do it for me. Another kind of boring British post punk album. 2/5 Won’t listen again

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 24 2026

It’s alright. Nothing bad, but also not the most interesting or captivating album either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Apr 25 2026

Just not for me. She is very talented, but just sings music I don't enjoy much. 2/5 Won't listen again

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Apr 26 2026

Enjoyed this. Playing was good and the energy was good as well. Like the bluesy, raw guitar tone. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Apr 28 2026

A decent album. Nothing spectacular, but wasn't bad either. Drumming was good. 2.5/5 Might listen again

25 by Adele
Apr 29 2026

Her vocal talent is obviously great, but the album is a little boring at times. Not many songs really blow you away, which is a bit of a let down considering her talent. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 30 2026

Most of their best songs are on this album, which is incredible. Great mix of uptempo songs and a few ballads. They are truly great southern blues/rock musicians. 4/5 Will listen again

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
May 01 2026

More upfront thrash metal. Guitar is really good and the bad plays well together. Liked this. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

The Poet by Bobby Womack
May 02 2026

Good soul album. It's missing some standout songs and the production that made earlier soul music so great. Still not a bad album though. 3/5 Might listen again

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
May 03 2026

Pretty good album. Guitar is great and the music is played really well. It might not have the umph that some other famous musicians from Africa are known for, but it was still very enjoyable. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

In Rainbows by Radiohead
May 04 2026

Good album. This is the last Radiohead album I had on the list and it was one of the better ones. It is a little less ambient than some of the others and falls a little closer to "The Bends" for me. Still not sure Radiohead is a band I will keep going back to, but this wasn't bad and I might even return to their discography at some point to see if I "get it" eventually. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
May 05 2026

Enjoyed this. Musically, this album is interesting and is oddly long form for a genre that usually shy's away from that. It does have some parts were brevity would have been better, but overall this was a good album. 3.5/5 Might listen again

American Idiot by Green Day
May 06 2026

Some decent songs on here. Not quite as energetic as you would expect from them. Like the theme of the title track. It’s an okay album. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Celebrity Skin by Hole
May 07 2026

Not a bad album. A little one noted throughout, but the songs are fine. A little more refined than some of the early grunge. 3/5 Might listen again

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
May 08 2026

It's an okay album. It doesn't really change tonally throughout and her voice is very soft on most songs. This is like a lo-fi country pop album. Nothing on here would really make me want to re-listen. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
May 09 2026

It's mostly fun and upbeat. Some decent songs, but there are many that are repetitive and kind of get lost in the grand scheme. Liked the Giuliani dig. 3/5 Might listen again

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
May 10 2026

It is an interesting album. Bridging east and west with some covers and some really beautiful playing of his instrument. I feel like towards the end I was ready for it to be over. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
May 11 2026

It is a really good hard/blues rock record. The band plays great and there are some iconic songs on the album. 4/5 Will listen again

Faith by George Michael
May 12 2026

Has a couple decent songs. The whisper singing gets old. A little over-produced and sounds a bit too rooted in the 80's. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
May 13 2026

Couldn't really keep attention to this album, which I guess means it wasn't that interesting to me. Another "post punk" effort that seems to fall a little flat. It's too long as well. 2/5 Won't listen again

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
May 14 2026

Has some good beats, especially the P-Funk samples. Liked the messaging. For whatever reason some songs just don't hit as well as they could have. Still a decent album and a precursor to some great Jazz Rap to come. 3.5/5 Might listen again

May 15 2026

I believe this is my last Waits album, and it was the most tolerable of them all. That being said, it is still too much of a rambling and nearly incoherent mess for me. Overall I definitely don't see the appeal. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Live! by Fela Kuti
May 16 2026

Fela and the band are just so well rehearsed and tight. The drums and guitar create this ever steady groove that the horn section explodes onto at the right times. They are truly one of the great performing acts in modern music history. 5/5 Will definitely listen again

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
May 17 2026

Kind of forgettable. Wasn't necessarily bad, just not incredibly interesting either. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
May 18 2026

It sounded a little more upbeat, but it is still hard to get past his voice, the lyrics and how he delivers them. I'll just have to accept that I'm never going to be a fan of his music. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
May 19 2026

Found this to be largely forgettable. It's just not for me. 2/5 Won't listen again

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
May 20 2026

It’s a nice mellow album. Certainly fits a mood. It’s pretty good. 3/5 Might listen again

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
May 21 2026

Better than most country music, it still isn't a genre I would seek out. Her playing and singing are done well on the album, though some of the songs are kind of generic. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Country Life by Roxy Music
May 22 2026

It's alright. Nothing spectacular and nothing inherently bad either. 2.5/5 Might listen again

The Who Sell Out by The Who
May 23 2026

An interesting album to include on this list. They definitely have better works in their career. Not many hit songs on here and some of the songs are just odd. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
May 24 2026

The energy is good, but the songs aren't as interesting as they could be and the album is kind of flat. 2/5 Won't listen again

Arise by Sepultura
May 25 2026

Decent metal/thrash album. The chunky guitar notes were good. 3/5 Might listen again

Ys by Joanna Newsom
May 27 2026

Kind of like an American version of Bjork. Album felt like a long run on sentence for a while, which was equally impressive and a little exasperating. She is definitely talented, even if this isn't my cup of tea. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
May 28 2026

Great singer and an album I'm sure is historically relevant. A little too slow for me and kind of sounded the same throughout. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Vivid by Living Colour
May 29 2026

Kind of a top heavy album. The playing is good throughout, but most of the songs don't come close to the quality of "Cult of Personality". 3/5 Might listen again.

No Other by Gene Clark
May 30 2026

Album is okay, but largely forgettable. Slight variation to country was a nice touch, but it still was lacking something. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
May 31 2026

Enjoyed this. Really good blues album and "Mannish Boy" is a great song. Waters is a great blues front man. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jun 01 2026

Fun early proto punk album. Some interesting covers. Can see the influence this had on bands to come. 3/5 Might listen again

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jun 02 2026

Interesting samples on this album. Feels like they strayed a but form what people usually use and tried something new, which is commendable. Songs are mostly fun. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jun 03 2026

Pretty boring. Songs are too long and not interesting enough to keep attention. 2/5 Won’t listen again

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Jun 04 2026

Could see this being fine in the right setting, but it was a bit boring and long. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Jun 05 2026

The harmonies are well done, but the album is very dated. This must be a pick of historical relevance. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 06 2026

Wasn't horrible, but wasn't very engaging either. Was easy to lose focus. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

The Stooges by The Stooges
Jun 07 2026

Some good songs on here. Was an enjoyable listen. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Cut by The Slits
Jun 08 2026

Liked the dub/reggae influence, kind of like a female version of the Clash. Album was good and enjoyable to listen to. 3/5 Might listen again

1977 by Ash
Jun 09 2026

Never heard of this before. Wasn't a bad album, but it did not hold my interest very long. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Jun 10 2026

Fairly bland for early psych rock. The title track is ambitious, but falls short of greatness. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jun 11 2026

Probably the Dead's best album overall, even if it's not my personal favorite. Great mix of slower songs, and uptempo songs. Album came out right before the band started to get more psychedelic and electric and is a great example of the bluesy/folk roots that were integral to the bands early success. Possibly the most complete album of that 70's hippie era. 5/5 Will definitely listen again

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jun 12 2026

Instrument is played well. Songs are mostly engaging, but do run a little long. 3/5 Might listen again

Jun 13 2026

It’s okay. Nothing too memorable, but not bad either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Jun 14 2026

An album carried mostly by one song. The production is good, but it is lacking quality and the album starts to become repetitive. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Jun 15 2026

Music is beautiful, but slightly repetitive. Wanted this to be a little better, cause it has so much going for it, just needed a little more umph. 3/5 Might listen again

Jun 16 2026

Good amount of influence that Barrett used to have in the band. It's an okay psych rock album, but there are better, thankfully Floyd went on to better things. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Enjoyed the acoustic/electric different sets. Most of The Band is playing on the electric set, and they sound great. Bob is still a little grating, but overall this was pretty good. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jun 18 2026

There is a reason this is a classic and one of the most famous jazz albums of all time. The album manages to be smooth and yet interesting at the right moments. The band plays well together and Brubeck's skills are on full display. A must listen. 5/5 Will definitely listen again

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jun 19 2026

Their style is chaotic and it works well for them. Going back and forth between metal breaks and almost orchestral music and singing. Did get a little repetitive, but was still good overall. 3/5 Might listen again

Jun 20 2026

There are some memorable songs from the past on here, but the whole album is bloated and kind of repetitive. He is in no way a great lyricist and his delivery is mediocre at best. Some of the subject matter has not aged well. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jun 21 2026

Another British new wave album. Sounds like a slightly more upbeat version of The Smiths. Generally quite boring. 2/5 Won't listen again

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jun 22 2026

It's okay. Almost an hour of drum and bass that never really deviates. Probably would be better if listen to at a party or something. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Fragile by Yes
Jun 23 2026

Starts out with one of the great opening tracks on any album, but gets a little lost after that. The longer songs allow the band to find grooves that are the real highlights of the album. The bass and keys are exceptional. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jun 24 2026

It's a fine album. Short and sweet psychedelic. Nothing groundbreaking. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 25 2026

Found this album to be kind of boring. Another 80's post punk/new wave offering for the list. At least I recognized a couple of songs. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jun 26 2026

Good hard/blues rock album. "Smoke on the Water" is the albums most famous song, but the band plays well throughout. 3/5 Might listen again

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Jun 27 2026

Quite similar to many of the other post-punk albums on this list. Nothing really spectacular about this. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jun 28 2026

The back and forth of screaming and singing doesn't really work. The slow songs at the end is just not what this band should be attempting. Too much going which muddies the sound. At least the drummer is talented. 2/5 Won't listen again

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Jun 29 2026

Musically it's alright, lyrically is quite stupid. Overall it's just an okay album. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Snivilisation by Orbital
Jun 30 2026

Electronic album that gets repetitive and goes a little too long. It wasn’t the worst electronic album on this list, so that’s something. 2/5 Won’t listen again

Jul 01 2026

Lyrically has not aged well, and musically it is dated as well. There are better rap albums form that era. 2/5 Won't listen again

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Jul 02 2026

It’s alright. Nothing bad about this album, but nothing spectacular either. 2.5/5 Might listen again

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Jul 04 2026

Decent album. A little all over the place, but still an enjoyable listen. 3/5 Might listen again

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Jul 05 2026

Mostly forgettable. Not a bad album, just not very good either. 2/5 Won't listen again

Jul 06 2026

It's an okay album. There are some songs on here that are well known and done well, but the album starts to get a little stale towards the end. 3/5 Might listen again

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jul 07 2026

Like a lot of Stevie's work, there are some really great songs on this album and a few just okay ones. There are moments of genius and Wonder's playing throughout is amazing. "Boogie On Reggae Woman" is one of the most absurdly funky, dance able songs ever made. 3.5/5 Will listen again

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Jul 08 2026

It's an okay folk album. Not genre defining and definitely not interesting enough, especially compared to some of his contemporaries. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Jul 09 2026

Kind of repetitive. Album never really grabs your attention. Overall, it's okay. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Jul 10 2026

Familiar with Stereolab. Enjoy their mix of indie rock and electronic music. It's a fun album. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Jul 11 2026

Kind of hard to differentiate from the other post punk/new wave albums on the list, which there are many. A little more upbeat than the others, which is slightly nicer. 2.5/5 Won't listen again

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jul 12 2026

Repetitive and kind of boring. A very subdued electronic album, which never really goes outside of it's comfort zone. 2/5 Won't listen again

Jul 13 2026

Decent album. Liked the energy and the vocals match well with the music. 3/5 Might listen again

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Jul 14 2026

Good album. Probably on here for "Lake of Fire". I think there next album is better, but this shows the bands transition into alt country psychedelic music. I enjoy the fact that they are deadheads who mixed that influence into punk music. 3.5/5 Will listen again

When this popped up on my screen, I audibly laughed. This is borderline a so bad it's good movie in music form. There are some catchy musical pieces, but the album does get pretty repetitive and the lyrics are mostly bad. One of the songs rhymes here with here, which is just so so bad. 2/5 Might listen again

Rio by Duran Duran
Jul 16 2026

It's an okay album. There are some memorable songs, but the album gets a little repetitive. As synth pop goes, it's not the worst, but it is a top heavy album. 3/5 Might listen again

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Jul 17 2026

Beautiful music. Touré and Cooder play really well together. Only complaint is that it starts to sound a little repetitive, but overall this is a great album. 4/5 Will listen again

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 18 2026

Some okay musical pieces on the album, but it really drags on after a while. This is one that I guess I just don't get. 2/5 Won't listen again

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jul 19 2026

It's an okay album, it just struggles to stay interesting throughout. Many of the songs are too similar and are kind of lackluster. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Jul 20 2026

Musically not very much going on. Lyrically, just a mishmash of words. Would believe a teenager wrote these songs. 2/5 Won't listen again

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 21 2026

A good album with some good songs on it. Some of Pearl jams best are on here, but outside of that, the album loses steam. Still one of the better grunge albums out there. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jul 22 2026

Most of the songs sound like versions of "Boys of Summer" but not successfully. A little too overproduced, especially the vocals, for me. 2/5 Won't listen again

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jul 23 2026

Liked this one. She is a really good song writer and the music has a great raw energy to it. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Jul 24 2026

It's kind of a silly album, but in a fun way. The music is a bit absurd. 3/5 Might listen again

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Jul 25 2026

Fairly run of the mill early country album. Just not for me. 2/5 Won't listen again

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jul 26 2026

Interesting album. Like the beats and her lyrics are poignant and delivered well. The skits get to be a little annoying. 3/5 Might listen again

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Jul 27 2026

Really enjoyed this. A great, chill jazz record. The band plays very well together. 4/5 Will listen again

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Jul 29 2026

Kind of sounded like a soundtrack to a bad movie. Seemed like the singer was occasionally singing a song that the band wasn't playing. It just wasn't for me. 2/5 Won't listen again

Jul 30 2026

Good soul/funk album. Kind of repetitive, but still fun overall. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Jul 31 2026

Cool idea for an album, but doesn't always work well. The cover of "The Girl from Impanema" is the best song, but fails to live up to the original. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Aug 01 2026

Has some interesting music parts, but then becomes a bit too nonsensical. Album really loses focus after a while. 2/5 Won't listen again

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Aug 02 2026

Interesting album. Kind of like a modern take on "Pet Sounds" by the Beach Boys. Not a style of music I would reach for, but it wasn't terrible. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Aug 03 2026

Pretty much as good as hard/blues rock could get in the 70's. The bands playing is top notch and the slower songs are mixed well into the album. Probably the best Zeppelin album. 4/5 Will listen again

Picture Book by Simply Red
Aug 04 2026

Album is kind of all over the place. There are some nice songs and the singing is good, but there are some real dull ones as well. Enjoyed the cover of "Heaven". 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Cross by Justice
Aug 05 2026

Not the worst electronic album I've heard on this list. Still not a genre I would generally listen to casually, but this was at least listenable. Would be fun for a party. 3/5 Might listen again

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 06 2026

There is probably a bit too much Nick Cave on this list. The album is kind of boring and never strays too far from it's comfort zone. I guess I'm just not going to be convinced to like this band. 2/5 Won't listen again

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Aug 07 2026

Yes, it is too long, and could have been cut down a bit. But, there are some bluegrass standards throughout the album that are played well and the different artists that feature on many songs is a nice touch. 3.5/5 Might listen again

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Aug 08 2026

Album is relevant for really just one song. "Karma Chameleon" is fun, but the rest of the album is repetitive and drags on. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Garbage by Garbage
Aug 09 2026

Some decent songs on here. A little slow-ish at times for me, and the album is very much of the 90's. Still not a bad album. 3/5 Might listen again

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Aug 10 2026

Incredible album. The band plays so well together and the drums and piano are exquisite. Miles is really patient on here and his playing nears perfection. There is a reason this is considered the greatest jazz album of all time and is so highly regarded. 5/5 Will definitely listen again

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 11 2026

It's a decent album, even though much of it sounds the same. Very much in the Dad/Arena rock genre. 3/5 Probably won't listen again
