Popular Reviews

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy

I had just gotten bad news before listening to this, so this album felt very therapeutic.

Tapestry by Carole King

I thought I would like this more but it was a bit boring. But the cat on the cover made me like it slightly more.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I'm sure if you're high this is a spiritual experience.

Dare! by The Human League

Loved the 80s vibe of this. Want to listen again for sure.

1-Star Albums (10)

All Ratings (856)

Sep 15 2023

This was fun, not something I would listen to on my own tbh. I did enjoy the very dated sound effects used throughout the album. Made it feel really nostalgic. I was also surprised that the first song was familiar!

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Sep 18 2023

This was a fun Jaxx album. Definitely something to put on in the background while trying to focus

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Sep 19 2023

Interesting, I liked the story style but not necessarily the stories.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Sep 20 2023

I liked this, and would listen again. However it felt very long to me. So I'd definitely require another listen when I'm not tired to see how I enjoy it.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Sep 21 2023

This was interesting. I'm not sure I'm the biggest fan of the lead singers voice, and for me that plays a big role in album enjoyment.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Sep 22 2023

This one is very city pop, definitely a vibe. I would absolutely listen to this again

War by U2
Sep 25 2023

This one has been the most my style so far. I love the vocals, and the guitar, the whole vibe is great. I've listened to it at least 3-4 times

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Sep 26 2023

This one was okay. It had static sounds that my ears are sensitive to. I liked the beats but I wouldn't listen again.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 27 2023

Loved this! Vocals reminded me of the Beatles and the tunes were catchy. Will listen again.

Skylarking by XTC
Sep 28 2023

This was pleasant, I'd probably Listen again.

21 by Adele
Sep 29 2023

The singles were good, but I only really enjoyed one of the bsides.

1984 by Van Halen
Oct 02 2023

I like the guitar in this. I also know some of the songs vaguely. I'd likely listen again

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Oct 03 2023

I think this was really interesting. I likely would need to listen to it again and really focus on it so I could get the meaning.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Oct 04 2023

Fun jazz tunes, loved how raw the instruments sounded. Would make nice background music!

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Oct 06 2023

Probably the most unique album I've listened to yet. Very musical

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Oct 09 2023

I almost fell asleep to this album. But I did like how calming it was

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Oct 10 2023

This was fun! Loved listening to it while walking through London

2112 by Rush
Oct 11 2023

Interesting. I enjoyed the amount of guitar I'd probably Listen again

Signing Off by UB40
Oct 12 2023

Personally not my sound but it's a fun listen

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Oct 16 2023

This was fun! Listened to it flying home, didn't realize the lead had a similar voice to Damiano

Debut by Björk
Oct 17 2023

Not bad but not necessarily my genre. I don't listen to a lot of dance music.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Oct 18 2023

Interesting. I liked the sound I might listen again

Smile by Brian Wilson
Oct 20 2023

Not bad, but I likely won't listen again.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Oct 23 2023

This was fun! Loved the vibe. Would be great to own on vinyl.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 24 2023

I'd listen again, didn't expect the rapping

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Oct 25 2023

Loved this! Will be listening again

Future Days by Can
Oct 26 2023

Probably wouldn't listen again. I liked it but not enough

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Oct 27 2023

Will listen again! Love this sound, loved the vocals

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Oct 30 2023

Really liked this. Will listen again. It had great guitar moments

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Oct 31 2023

I can appreciate that this is an impressive live album, but I'd rather listen to recordings than a live album. Not a fan of the cheering.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Nov 01 2023

I'm not sure I would listen again. I liked some songs a lot but others I can't remember enjoying.

The Yes Album by Yes
Nov 02 2023

This was so good I listened twice yesterday!

Dare! by The Human League
Nov 03 2023

Loved the 80s vibe of this. Want to listen again for sure.

Homework by Daft Punk
Nov 07 2023

Not my style but it's funky

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Nov 09 2023

This was a nice soothing album, I'm unsure if I'd listen again but it felt nice to hear.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Nov 10 2023

I really dug this, I'll have to listen to it again to get a real feel. But the first impression was 🔥🔥🔥

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 13 2023

I would definitely listen to this again. This style feels nostalgic and comforting even though I never heard it growing up.

Revolver by Beatles
Nov 14 2023

This had some real gems. Yellow Submarine reminded me of Beatles year at my dance studio, it feels like I've heard that song hundreds of times even though I doubt it. I might listen again but cut out Y.S or skip it.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Nov 15 2023

I loved the instrumental in this album but that alone wouldn't make me relisten.

Garbage by Garbage
Nov 17 2023

I like this, but I'm giving it 3 stars because I'd need to listen to it again before I say for sure if it would go into my rotation.

Doolittle by Pixies
Nov 20 2023

Enjoyed this a lot! Will be listening again.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Nov 21 2023

This is actually a really good rap album. I enjoyed the vocals (the rappers voices) and it was pretty pleasing to my ears. Unfortunately I know I likely won't listen to a rap album on my own, but I'll still give it a 3 for being so good to me, someone who doesn't listen to rap.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Nov 22 2023

I liked this but I didn't love it. I do think it would be a great album to listen to again, so I am giving it 4 stars. While listening I kept thinking how it would be a great addition to my vinyl collection.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Nov 23 2023

This wasn't bad but I wasn't able to listen to every track. This likely messed up the albums intention, and I'm not sure why 5/6 are unavailable in Canada. So I'm giving it a 3 because while I liked it, I wouldn't be able to listen to the full thing at once.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Nov 24 2023

This was good but I don't think I loved it. The sound was a bit too unpolished, the best way I can describe it is garage band feel. I might give it another try but the flow wasn't my favorite.

Kid A by Radiohead
Nov 27 2023

This was interesting I think I would listen again just so I can take in the concept better.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Nov 28 2023

Lyrics kind of killed this one for me. Sometimes it felt too comedic. Unsure if that was the intent but I don't think I'd listen to it again.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Nov 29 2023

Every time a song ended and a new one began I groaned. I kept praying the album was almost done, only to see multiple songs left in the queue. I was so happy I will never have to listen to this album again. I don't think it's the artist Because I like other songs of theirs but this album is NO.

Soul Mining by The The
Nov 30 2023

I enjoyed this album a lot! The funkiness really shined here, and the vocals matched well. Can't wait to listen to this again!

Dec 01 2023

So good! Amazing. I finally got to listen to Free Bird after hearing about it in dated television shows and it did not disappoint!

Melodrama by Lorde
Dec 04 2023

Iconic. Legendary. Who is doing it like her? This album will forever have my heart, got me through difficult times and I appreciate it differently everytime I listen. This is Melodrama, baby!

The Doors by The Doors
Dec 05 2023

Interesting album! I love the vibe and the vocals, definitely will listen again.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Dec 06 2023

Good jazz but not something I would listen to often if I'm honest.

The Slider by T. Rex
Dec 07 2023

Simply put, I do not like the singers voice and so I could not enjoy this album. The instrumentation was great but unfortunately that doesn't matter in the end.

If I ever want to cause a panic attack I will listen to this again. I struggled with the lack of melody, lack of beat, it was too chaotic. It felt like brass players trying to one up each other.

Different Class by Pulp
Dec 11 2023

At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like this album, but as it kept going my enjoyment grew. I'd definitely snag a vinyl of this if I found one.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Dec 12 2023

It's jazz, it's not bad but not something I'd listen to in my regular rotation.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Dec 13 2023

This was pretty good, easy to listen to and I enjoyed the guitar.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Dec 14 2023

I enjoyed this a lot. I didn't listen with headphones so I need to do that.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Dec 15 2023

This album wasn't bad but I can't really picture myself listening to it again.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Dec 18 2023

This was actually pretty good. I enjoyed how calming it felt to listen to this.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Dec 19 2023

I liked this but I would have to listen to it again with headphones on to get the full effect.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 20 2023

This isn't a bad album but it was kind of boring to me. Too much country twang in his voice, and it felt way too long.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Dec 21 2023

This wasn't really my style. I could listen to it but I would never listen again.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Dec 25 2023

Really liked this! Would definitely listen again in the background

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Dec 27 2023

This was really angsty. I didn't hate it but I'm not sure I'd listen to it again, some tracks are highlights but overall not my fave.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Dec 28 2023

I'm enjoying this right now, I like the vocals and the guitar. But I have to listen to it again when I can really focus, because I feel like I'm not appreciating it properly.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Dec 29 2023

This is a dance album. Not my genre at all, would never listen again.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 01 2024

This wasn't bad but I don't think I'd listen again.

Quiet Life by Japan
Jan 03 2024

This was fine, I'm not sure if I loved it or would require more listens but it wasn't an immediate favorite.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Jan 04 2024

A bit too much country twang for me, but it wasn't overly offensive luckily!

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Jan 05 2024

Okay honestly this was kind of camp. But I would never listen again.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jan 08 2024

This was nice and I respect the influence but I don't think I'd ever go out of my way to listen to the entire album.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 09 2024

I think I would listen to this again, I like their voice and the slight folk twinge.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jan 10 2024

Loved this so much! The vocals 🔥 the instruments 🔥 just my style

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jan 11 2024

This wasn't bad but I know I'd never listen to it again. Completely not my style.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Jan 12 2024

This is relaxing to listen to (even if the subject matter might not have been so light) and very interesting. I've never listened to an album in this language mixed with electronic. However I'd likely never listen to it again.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jan 15 2024

I really like this! His voice is beautiful and the music just felt right. I'd have to listen again to be sure if I want to add it to my rotation.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jan 16 2024

This was nice, I enjoyed the instrumentals and I already know I like his voice. I like that it felt different to the other Nick Drake album I listened to.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jan 18 2024

This feels like an album you'd listen to to prove to your parents you're edgy.

Metallica by Metallica
Jan 19 2024

This was just great. I can't wait to listen to it again.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jan 22 2024

This was really good. I think I'd have to listen more though because while I love the deeper vocals, the falsetto is really unpleasant.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 23 2024

I like this album, what stood out to me first was the instrumentation. On a second listen I began to appreciate the vocals more. Not sure it's an instant 5 star but it could move that way with more listens.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jan 24 2024

This was interesting, but it wasn't very cohesive. I'm not sure if I'd listen again but I did enjoy it.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jan 25 2024

So this was not terrible, but I'm never going to willingly listen to dance style music without many lyrics.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jan 26 2024

I'm not sure if I loved this or not, I think I'd have to listen to it a few more times to be sure.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jan 29 2024

I loved this a lot, I was familiar with some of the songs already but the rest were just as good.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jan 30 2024

Unfortunately I didn't love this as much as LZIV, I might give it another chance in the future but some choices were a bit too weird for me.

Jan 31 2024

If there wasn't clapping and the occasional comment from the singer I wouldn't know this was a live album. Really well done in that regard. If they didn't include the clapping I would likely listen to this but it's just something I don't enjoy.

It had some fun moment but overall I didn't love a lot of the lyrics, and his vocals aren't my favorite (they aren't bad! I just don't find the tone my favorite). To me this album was very reminiscent of the 80s and maybe Michael Jackson on an initial listen, especially the earlier songs. I think it might have been the vocals, not sure if that was the popular style at the time or not or just a coincidence. I personally wouldn't listen to this again

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Feb 02 2024

Amy Winehouse has such a beautiful, unique voice. It was such a joy to hear her sing this album, as I've never heard any of the songs before. I enjoyed the pop and Jazz mix of the instruments as well.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Feb 05 2024

Not my style. The storytelling segments mixed with the music was interesting but also felt a bit disjointed.

Bossanova by Pixies
Feb 06 2024

Initially I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this album but as it went on it felt almost familiar. I need a few more listens to determine if it will join my rotation.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Feb 07 2024

Honestly not sure I really liked this, and it comes down to the vocals. I just wasn't a fan.

Play by Moby
Feb 08 2024

I would never personally listen to this but it had some fun moments. Honey was the standout to me, likely because I've heard it before.

Illmatic by Nas
Feb 09 2024

Not a fan of this genre

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Feb 12 2024

This started strong, and I really enjoyed it. I think I'd rank it higher than two but around the same as four

Feb 13 2024

This was a nice listen, it felt very nostalgic. I personally wouldn't go out of my way to listen to this on the daily, but as a vinyl to play in the background I think I would really enjoy it.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Feb 14 2024

I didn't enjoy this as much as their self titled album, however it still was good. I'd need to listen to it a few more times before I decide if I'd add it to my rotation.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 15 2024

Loved this album! It's so fun.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Feb 16 2024

Loved this! Not sure I'd listen to disc 2 tracks much but the first half is fun.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Feb 19 2024

As someone who only listens to her albums Folklore and Evermore, this was better than I thought. Besides the many title tracks I have heard over the years on the radio there are actually some nice songs within this. I can't say I'd listen to or enjoy this as much and Folklore and Evermore, but it's a strong pop album.

The Band by The Band
Feb 20 2024

Honestly I wanted to like this because it's funky but something about it is too country sounding for me. Before people judge, I know it's rock and roll but the Americana has too much twang for me.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Feb 21 2024

Another great jazz album!

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Feb 22 2024

When I was a kid I listened to a Little Mermaid cover album that had "Coconut" sung by Sebastian. I never thought I'd listen to the original. Other than that this album was fun. In some songs Nilsson definitely sounded like a Beatles member.

Technique by New Order
Feb 23 2024

This was a fun listen but it didn't really grab me.

Harvest by Neil Young
Feb 26 2024

I liked this a lot, shame it's not on streaming but that just means I'll have to get a physical copy!

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Feb 27 2024

Some of this album had a fun beat and I enjoyed listening to it. But I didn't love the quiz show bit and also "De La Orgee" kinda ruined it for me.

White Ladder by David Gray
Feb 28 2024

Wait I like this a lot? I wasn't sure for the first couple of songs but I fell in love with Gray's voice and the songs were relaxing to listen to.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Feb 29 2024

This was a nice listen, there's something about older albums like this that feel so nostalgic.. even though they're decades older than me.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Mar 01 2024

Loved this album! Never expected to like The Rolling Stones if I'm honest, so this was a nice surprise.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Mar 04 2024

Such a good album. I love the vocals and all of the harmonies, and the melodies are fun. That's two Steely Dan albums I love.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Mar 05 2024

This was a good album, I enjoyed listening to it. However I would likely never choose to listen to it.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Mar 06 2024

This was fun, I didn't love every song but I can see why it's on this list.

Elastica by Elastica
Mar 07 2024

Besides the vocals I did enjoy this album. But I just wasn't a fan of how the vocals were done, if they were more balanced with the instruments I might like it better.

Mar 08 2024

I liked this album! I would listen again but I'm not sure if it is a top album for me.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Mar 11 2024

I've heard of Willie Nelson but I couldn't remember what genre or style his songs were. I then made the mistake of working out to this album. While it is a good album, I would not recommend listening when you need high energy music to keep you awake during a workout!

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 12 2024

So this is just not for me. It's not that it's bad, but rap is just a genre I can't connect with.

Mar 13 2024

I enjoyed this album a lot! I forgot to take notes so I can't remember exactly why (writing this the next day as you do)

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 14 2024

I was so excited to get this album! I've heard of the Ramones before but I had never listened to them intentionally. Did not disappoint, loved the band and the vocals.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Mar 15 2024

Weirdly this album really helped me focus while I was working. Other than that it was just okay.

Mar 18 2024

Really enjoyed this album. Something about the singers voice is very nostalgic to me.

Mar 19 2024

Not for me. No matter how many rap/hip-hop albums I listen to I just can't find an emotional connection to the vocals. The lyrics obviously can be deep but I've never had an easy time connecting to a rapper in the way I do vocalists.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 20 2024

I liked this, but if I'm honest it wasn't amazing. I'd have to listen another couple times to figure out if I really like it.

I think if you're a Bob Dylan fan you will enjoy listening to this. However I am not very familiar with him so the first half of this was very boring. I enjoyed the second half more but I still hate listening to clapping in albums.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Mar 22 2024

This sounds like something my dad would listen to. But not in a good way?

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Mar 25 2024

Loved listening to this! It was so interesting.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Mar 28 2024

This was so interesting in the best way possible. I love jazz and rock so to hear them mixed was amazing

Suede by Suede
Mar 29 2024

This was really good! Very my style

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 01 2024

This is better than the last Kendrick album I got, but not my genre still.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Apr 02 2024

I liked this but I think I need to listen to it again to decide if it gets a 4. Edit: I had to go back and change this to a 5. It's been bothering me for months that I low balled this score.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Apr 03 2024

This was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect anything from the 80s to sound like this, and it was so fun! I'm not sure I get much of the "punk spirit" they're described to have but I assume it's in the lyrics.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Apr 04 2024

Some nice jazz music to work to.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Apr 05 2024

This was just okay. Nothing really stand out.

The White Album by Beatles
Apr 08 2024

So for me to love an album it has to be somewhat cohesive. Ignoring the fact that this is a Beatles record there are a few songs I like. But there's more messy songs than good songs.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Apr 09 2024

This wasn't a bad album. Nothing grabbed me emotionally so it was just alright.

Real Life by Magazine
Apr 10 2024

I enjoyed this but I'm not sure I'd listen to it again??

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Apr 11 2024

This wasn't bad! But some of the lyrics were very cringe to me.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Apr 12 2024

I killed a spider while listening to this album and it gave me the courage to stomp on it. Needless to say, it was a good album.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Apr 15 2024

I really liked listening to this album.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Apr 17 2024

This was great, very nostalgic sound that reminded me of my grandpa.

Apr 18 2024

Still not a fan of this genre, but I do prefer the instrumentals of the 90s.

Tapestry by Carole King
Apr 19 2024

I thought I would like this more but it was a bit boring. But the cat on the cover made me like it slightly more.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 22 2024

Wow! I actually enjoyed this a lot. Probably my favorite hip hop album from the list so far. Mixing it with rock was perfect, and even the songs without it were quite fun.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Apr 23 2024

I've never heard of this album before and so I had no expectations (as with most albums on this list to be honest). I really did enjoy it! It started quite strong and while maybe it got a bit weaker for me at the end, I think I would listen to it again.

Forever Changes by Love
Apr 24 2024

I didn't expect to be immediately sucked into this album, but I was captivated. The first three song run is beautiful, and the rest is also quite good. This will be added to my rotation.

American Pie by Don McLean
Apr 25 2024

McLean's voice is so captivating. Listening to it is like a warm hug after coming in from the rain.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Apr 26 2024

This wasn't as interesting to me as the other talking heads album.

Smash by The Offspring
Apr 29 2024

I liked this more than I thought I would

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Apr 30 2024

Honestly this one is just okay. I didn't feel any connection to his vocals or the songs unfortunately.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
May 02 2024

This album just screams 80s but not in a good way.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
May 03 2024

I went in dreading this by the name alone but it was quite a good listen. I'm not sure if I'd listen to it again so it's getting a 3.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
May 06 2024

Liked this a lot! The perfect soundtrack for while I was working out.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
May 07 2024

I'm conflicted. I hated his voice when he sang but I really enjoyed everything else about the album. I think that gives it 4 stars???

Bad Company by Bad Company
May 08 2024

This was just really boring. Nothing interesting.

The Undertones by The Undertones
May 09 2024

The lyrics on this feel quite juvenile, and looking at the cover art I don't imagine the members are much older than high school age. Not everyone can make good lyrics, but they did have good instrumentals at least.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
May 10 2024

Okay if I'm honest I'd give this a 2.5, however I decided to round down. It's not bad, her vocals are good. But I can't put my finger on why this was so odd to me.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
May 13 2024

This was just okay. I like some bits but it was a bit boring at other times.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
May 14 2024

I forgot that I listened to this album yesterday, so that should tell you how memorable it was to me.

Closer by Joy Division
May 15 2024

To be honest the vocals weren't my favorite and the rest of this album was quite boring.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
May 17 2024

I really liked it! I was already familiar with them and a couple songs, so it was nice to hear the whole album.

May 20 2024

Fried ice cream IS a reality! I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected, it's just so fun!

Eliminator by ZZ Top
May 21 2024

This is not bad but it's a very standard rock album.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
May 22 2024

At first I was a bit skeptical listening to this. Then about halfway through it hit me how beautiful everything about these songs are.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 23 2024

I'm sure if you're high this is a spiritual experience.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
May 27 2024

Really enjoyed this, I need to listen to it again but I think it's a 3.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 28 2024

I liked this, but I think spring was the wrong season to listen to this. To me, it sounds like it would be perfect to listen to in the fall. If I imagine it's fall when I'm listening then I like it more lol

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
May 29 2024

Since this is an early album of theirs I really hope the singer took some vocal lessons later on... If they made this an instrumental album without vocals I would have rated it higher.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 30 2024

His voice isn't pleasant in this album. Crazy Horse did a good job though.

Woodface by Crowded House
May 31 2024

This album has some real gems. I think with a few more listens it might go into my rotation, but for a single listen I'd give it a 4.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jun 03 2024

Before this album, my knowledge of The Beach Boys was exclusively from their appearances on Full House. I had no idea they were such a boy group! Wouldn't It Be Nice is obvi

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jun 04 2024

Joni has such a beautiful voice, wow. While I'm not sold on every song, I'm giving it a 5 because I anticipate myself loving this album with more listens.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jun 05 2024

I liked this, and I think I'd listen again.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jun 06 2024

The album had been playing for awhile and so I looked to see how far I got. I only was four songs in. Off to a rough start. After listening to the entire album, it makes me want to check out their other music. Glad to hear that there isn't as much cheering between tracks as other live albums.

Da Capo by Love
Jun 07 2024

I enjoyed parts of this, I think with more listens it could grow on me more.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jun 10 2024

I had a hard time really getting into this album. While I respect and agree the message is important it's just not my style.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jun 11 2024

This is a nice album. Loved the instrumentals so much!

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jun 12 2024

I found this quite enjoyable! I didn't expect it to be primarily an instrumental album, but it was interesting enough to keep me awake on the bus ride home.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jun 13 2024

I felt really relaxed while listening to this and I agree it's really beautiful (way better than what the Spotify link gives you). But I don't think I'd ever go out of my way to listen to it.

Blur by Blur
Jun 14 2024

From the first song I was hooked. I've never heard of Blur before but this was a standout.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jun 17 2024

My first Elvis album! Honestly? I don't get the hype around his "Elvis twang". It just sounds so mumbled and off putting. Another thing is that I was surprised he didn't have the twang for every song. He sounds completely different without it! The songs just aren't very good at all unfortunately.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jun 18 2024

I didn't expect a live album to be so interactive! With other live albums, I hated the clapping at the end of each song. But with this one the crowd feels like a part of the performance which makes it really enjoyable. Loved the music, of course but as a live album it's probably my #1 from this journey.

Hms Fable by Shack
Jun 19 2024

I wouldn't call this bad but it sounds a bit generic. Sounds very 90s early 00s, but nothing is special about it.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jun 20 2024

My 200th album! Her voice is so impressive, she just kills every song on here. I'm not sure I'd ever go out of my way to listen to this but it's just so impressive.

Jun 21 2024

This is a nice album, I enjoyed some songs more than others. However I would likely never listen to the entire project again.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jun 24 2024

This album screams autumn to me. While I enjoyed it now, I think it could easily love it more then. I don't exactly vibe with this sound in the summer but ask me again when it's cold.

The Clash by The Clash
Jun 25 2024

The vocals on this aren't great. I could hardly understand the lyrics half the time and that takes me out of the listening experience. The band is great though.

90 by 808 State
Jun 26 2024

Listening to this in an office cubicle that was likely constructed in the 80s really transports you to 1989. I found myself bopping my head along, especially to Cobra Bora. What a fun tune.

Microshift by Hookworms
Jun 27 2024

This was a pleasant surprise! In the first few seconds I was worried I was in for a long album, but it flew by in a good way. 4/5

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Jun 28 2024

The only thing I could think of while listening to this album is "this sounds so 80s". There wasn't anything special or standout about this album.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jul 01 2024

My first Nirvana album! This is another album where I know it will be even better in the fall. Luckily I listened to it on a very rainy day so I got an idea of how much I like it. Some songs are better than others but overall a very strong album.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jul 02 2024

So overall this is an enjoyable album, it has some high highs and some mid songs but nothing bad. I'm unsure on it's replay value. The lead singer is fantastic but at the same time her style of singing feels a bit dated and something I would likely get bored of. If I could give half votes I would give this 3.5 but since I can't I'll round up.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jul 03 2024

This was a nice album, I would listen to it again!

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Jul 04 2024

This album gives me such a wash of nostalgia to my childhood. I've never heard it before, but this is exactly what kid-me would be bopping to in my room. Beautiful vocals, and the instrumentals are just perfect. 4/5

Jul 05 2024

I could not enjoy this album. Nothing about it grabbed me, the songs felt way too repetitive, the vocals aren't impressive, the instrumentals were just fine. I can't give it a 1 because it didn't assault my ears but it wasn't enjoyable.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 08 2024

This is probably my favorite album by Coldplay.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jul 09 2024

Wonderful songs on this album. Wasn't exactly sure what to think based on the album art if I'm honest. I prefer the first half of this album, the second half is definitely a bit weaker.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jul 10 2024

Wow this album is really my style.. I have never listened to FKA Twigs before but I had no idea she made such good music! I can see why this album is on the list it sounds so fresh for something released in 2014.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Jul 11 2024

I didn't like the first few tracks from this album at all, they felt too weird, a bit creepy maybe? But as the album went on it wasn't as bad, just an okay album for me though.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jul 12 2024

I like this album, but I'm not sure I love it. It has some really great songs but some songs didn't jive with me. I'm giving it a 4 because I think with more listens I would enjoy it more.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jul 15 2024

My first of many Elvis Costello albums! I liked this, it was fun to listen to. But I'm not sure I'd ever go out of my way to listen to it.

Jul 16 2024

Not much to say, a pretty solid album. I love Freddie Mercury's voice.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jul 17 2024

The first couple songs weren't bad, but then it slowly took on a more Metal sound. Weird lyrics for sure, I can see why this album was \"shocking\". The screamo singing isn't really my thing either. Also this album is too long lol Oh and I HATE the cover.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jul 18 2024

Honestly? I'm confused why this album is on the list. What is special about it? It sounds very standard. That doesn't mean I hate it, I think it could be great after a few more listens. After one playthrough I would say it's just okay.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Jul 19 2024

Loved this album! It's a fun rock album, very upbeat. Not the biggest fan of all the lyrics, but otherwise I think it was solid.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jul 22 2024

I think this is my third album by the Talking Heads and I've accepted the just aren't for me. The band is great but the vocals just don't do enough for me.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jul 25 2024

Wow what a beautiful album. The instruments captured my attention immediately, and they're pretty consistently great throughout. Her vocals are so beautiful too, they work really well together.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jul 26 2024

This wasn't very interesting to me. A lot of the melodies were repetitive which is fine, but it was noticeable in a bad way if that makes sense.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 29 2024

Loved this a lot!

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jul 30 2024

This album is all the hits! I didn't realize every single song of hers I know is from this album. But even songs I didn't know were amazing. Definitely want to listen to this again, probably a lot. I also noticed how some of my favorite artists were likely influenced by her.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jul 31 2024

I really loved this, definitely my style. The band is great , the vocals just hit right. I can imagine myself listening to this on a walk when it's cooler outside.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Aug 01 2024

The vocals are very impressive on this album, but otherwise it's just okay.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Aug 02 2024

This album is a mixed bag. Some songs are great, but some are just horrendous. Unfortunately it leans more in the bad category...

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Aug 05 2024

Probably his best album. The last one I had felt very boring outside the singles, but here even the other tracks were interesting to listen to.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Aug 06 2024

I've heard of the Beastie Boys but I thought they were a rock group. So I was very surprised when this album started playing! The album started alright but the second half wasn't very good.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Aug 07 2024

This is such a beautiful album. The vibrato is a bit excessive at times but I can overlook that because it's so good. The lyrics are heartbreaking and the minimalist production really drives them home.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Aug 08 2024

Nothing special about this to me. I did feel like I was in a 90s movie walking down the street to some songs.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Aug 09 2024

It's kind of funny that the only song I enjoyed on this album is the one with lyrics, "Poor Leno".

On The Beach by Neil Young
Aug 12 2024

Not a bad album but there wasn't much that kept my interest.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Aug 13 2024

I wasn't sold on this album at first. About halfway through I went to look at other reviews and saw someone mentioned winter, and that's when this album clicked for me. The middle of August is not when this album is done justice, but I could see myself falling in love with it in January. Keeping that in mind I'm giving it 4 stars.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 15 2024

Nice album, beautiful vocals. Maybe a bit repetitive at times but maybe that's part of the charm.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Aug 16 2024

This was a really interesting album! I'm honestly surprised it came out in the 80s it sounds really fresh still. If you told me a 2010s rock band released this I'd believe you.

Aug 19 2024

This wasn't bad but it isn't really my style. I liked some of the lyrics but the melodies were a bit bare.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Aug 20 2024

Before listening, the only thing I knew about this album was the fun sleeve with a working zipper. After listening I think this album is pretty fun. It's not the same style of song all the way through which keeps it fresh. I'm rounding up from 3.5 because I'm not sold on the vocals.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Aug 21 2024

Listening to this instantly made my walk to the bus stop more fun.

Aug 22 2024

Not my favorite genre and while the beats were fine the lyrics were a bit gross lol

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Aug 23 2024

This album was really disappointing. I thought it would sound different based on the cover and it's just not good.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Aug 26 2024

Honestly I had trouble focusing on the lyrics or melodies because I was so distracted by Bob Dylan's weird vocal style. The twang at the end of his lines is probably an acquired taste and maybe if I force myself to hear him sing like this over and over I could tolerate it.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 27 2024

This is a really great album. While some of the up beat songs do feel a bit dated, I really connected with the more acoustic songs.

Low-Life by New Order
Aug 28 2024

This was just alright. I wasn't a fan of the vocalist but everything else was nice.

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Aug 29 2024

Not a bad album overall but at the same time there isn't very much that's special about it.

Suicide by Suicide
Aug 30 2024

There's something lacking in this that's making it less enjoyable. It's too minimalist for my taste. The echoey talk-singing is not my thing either, with such short lines it's too jarring. I was going to give this a 2 but Frankie Teardrop was agonizing to listen to.

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 02 2024

The instrumentals on this album are really fun. I actually wasn't as big of a fan of the tracks with vocals.

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 03 2024

I liked this but I think I need more time with it to decide if I love it.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Sep 04 2024

This isn't really my style. It's not bad but nothing really kept me interested.

This album had a few standout tracks such as Stay With Me but otherwise I didn't feel much of a connection to it. Maybe with more listens I would grow to enjoy it more.

Faust IV by Faust
Sep 06 2024

While this was an interesting listen this is something that's not my favorite project. Parts were okay but Just a Second (or Deuxieme Tableaux, the end of this track) for example really sucked.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Sep 09 2024

Probably my least favorite Led Zeppelin album so far. Just wasn't a fan of most of it. There were a couple good songs like The Rover but overall the album felt too long.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Sep 10 2024

Not really a fan of this. A couple nice songs, everything else kind of blurred together.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Sep 11 2024

I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. There's some beautiful songs in here. I can't wait to listen to this album even more. Cars are Cars is definitely the weakest track.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Sep 12 2024

Something about this album just didn't click for me. Maybe it's the repetition in the instrumentals? The vocals aren't my favorite either.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Sep 16 2024

Enjoyed this, I think with more listens I would love it so I'm giving it a 4.

Sep 17 2024

So honestly this isn't my thing. A couple of the songs weren't band so I'm not giving it a 1, but I hope that I don't get any more Eminem albums lol

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Sep 19 2024

I just don't get Tom Waits. Who is his music for? Why does he have multiple albums on this list? Does anyone actually think this is good? Rainbirds is the only reason this doesn't get a 1.

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Sep 20 2024

Loved this! The beats were fun, and I think this is my favorite era of hip hop.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Sep 23 2024

This was a great album. I enjoyed the entire first disc, but the second half is where it lost me a bit. I think if it was trimmed down I would enjoy this album a lot more.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Sep 24 2024

I really liked this. The vocals are beautiful and I found the general sound is something I already listen to quite frequently. My only gripe is I couldn't understand the lyrics very much but from a quick look at their Spotify description that might have been intentional?

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 25 2024

I don't really like the way he sings.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Sep 26 2024

This was an immediate love for me. I love how grand his voice feels. Paired with the lush instrumentals it's just beautiful. But the weird lyrics prevent this from being a perfect five stars.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 27 2024

I liked this and I think I could add it to my playlists with no issue. I don't know what is special about this though considering there's many similar albums.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Sep 30 2024

This was a nice album. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to listen to it ever but I enjoyed listening to it while doing chores.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Oct 02 2024

This is nice, and after reading how they did no adjustments in post I respect it more. But it isn't the kind of music I want to listen to live.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Oct 03 2024

This is way better than the last Jimi Hendrix album I got. So fun to listen to! I definitely want to revisit it.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Oct 04 2024

This was definitely an interesting one. I really dislike the vocals, but the instrumentals were interesting. I would never listen to this again though!

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Oct 07 2024

This wasn't my favorite. Maybe one or two nice songs but nothing special to me.

Guero by Beck
Oct 08 2024

A very interesting album. I enjoyed most of it, the mix of rap and vocal tracks was a nice contrast.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Oct 09 2024

Wow! I didn't expect to me so mesmerized by this but something about it just really hit the mark for me.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Oct 10 2024

The jazz influences, especially on Orange Moon were spectacular. However for many of the songs I found myself feeling they were too long. I think some songs could have been shortened and that would make this a tighter, better album in my opinion

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Oct 11 2024

I liked this a lot. It felt like a lot of future bands I like could have been influenced by this sound.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Oct 14 2024

I liked this! It still uses the keyboard I'm a fan of from their self titled album. Need to listen again fully uninterrupted.

Parklife by Blur
Oct 15 2024

Wow! Just so good.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Oct 16 2024

This was a really interesting, but in a good way. I think a couple songs weren't my favorite so I'd need to relisten. But overall I enjoyed this album!

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Oct 17 2024

The beginning of this album does not fit with the rest of it. I was turned off by the first few songs but by the mid-way point I started to enjoy it a lot more.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Oct 18 2024

This album was fine. I liked some of the songs but I don't think I'd ever listen again.

Imagine by John Lennon
Oct 21 2024

A nice album. Some songs aren't my favorite but overall I think I enjoyed it.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 22 2024

I think the talking between songs is the highlight of this live album. I don't know anything about Johnny Cash but that gives me a peek into his personality as a performer. Also what an interesting place for an album recording! Unfortunately the music was just alright, so this gets a 3.

Infected by The The
Oct 23 2024

I liked this, but I think I need to listen in a different season to really vibe with it. Rating it with that in mind.

Black Metal by Venom
Oct 24 2024

Honestly this isn't as bad as I was dreading it to be. I can't say I'd recommend listening to it when you have a headache, but other than that it's fine.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Oct 25 2024

I really enjoyed this. It felt like the soundtrack to a 90s kids safari show.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Oct 28 2024

As someone who is only familiar with their hits I liked this.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Oct 29 2024

At first I thought "who on earth is singing?" so I went to look up the album. I knew I had heard of Janis Joplin before but I didn't know anything other than her name (and a select number of songs of hers they still play on the radio). I think this album is good but would be more impactful to hear live.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Oct 30 2024

I'm so tired of Leonard Cohen. When I listen to music the vocalist is probably the most important part for me. If I don't like their voice, I can't enjoy the music. Enter this monotone man who talks more than he sings. The beauty of his lyrics don't matter if the delivery is so incredibly dull.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Oct 31 2024

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Based on the album art I was expecting some long electronic slog (no offense) but it wasn't that at all! I think next time I'd like to listen to this in one sitting to make sure I actually like it.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Nov 01 2024

Damn. I was really vibing with this until the vocals in part ll...

Blackstar by David Bowie
Nov 04 2024

This was nice, but not something I'd probably go out of my way to listen to.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Nov 05 2024

Someone must have laced these guitar solos with something because I am obsessed.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Nov 06 2024

I couldn't get myself to care too much about this.

Green by R.E.M.
Nov 07 2024

I like this but I think it's something that would require multiple listens. No songs really stood out but the overall vibe was nice.

Timeless by Goldie
Nov 08 2024

This was just okay.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Nov 11 2024

Classic Bob Dylan sound. If it wasn't for his voice this would rank higher.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Nov 12 2024

This album wasn't bad, but besides the hits I couldn't keep myself very interested.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Nov 13 2024

Nothing about this kept my interest unfortunately.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Nov 14 2024

I liked this but something about the sound was holding me back from really enjoying it. I think I'd enjoy a remastered version more.

Achtung Baby by U2
Nov 18 2024

After listening to my first ever U2 albumz War over a year ago through this challenge I had high hopes for this. However I feel like it doesn't live up to the quality of War. That's not to say it's bad, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it more with more listens. Overall I am a bit disappointed because everything I loved about War is missing here. I guess because it is a different style that is to be expected.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 19 2024

Probably my favorite Elvis Costello record so far!

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Nov 20 2024

This was fun, but I'm not sure I'd ever listen again.

Nov 22 2024

This was such a fun album! Love the angst, probably would have been obsessed as a teenager.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Nov 25 2024

This is a strong 4. It might even be a 5 but I'm not sure about some songs. Her voice is so pretty and I love the instrumentals. Just wow!

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Nov 26 2024

Some of the ballads are absolutely beautiful but they're surrounded by mediocre, boring songs.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Nov 27 2024

This album made me feel things, man. His voice sounded like a warm hug on a rainy day.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Nov 28 2024

I liked this, solid rock album. No song stood out a lot though so I'm not sure if I'd listen again.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Nov 29 2024

This was an interesting album. I enjoyed his vocals and some of the instrumentation but other parts were a bit too weird for me to get into.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Dec 02 2024

Really liked this. Great focus music.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Dec 03 2024

This started fine but then the fart noises began....

Stankonia by OutKast
Dec 04 2024

This isn't really my thing, it didn't grab my attention.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Dec 05 2024

I enjoyed the Renaissance vibes some of the tracks had on this! His vocals don't grab me like some others do but I would definitely listen again.

Who's Next by The Who
Dec 06 2024

Really impressive album, I loved listening to this.

All Directions by The Temptations
Dec 09 2024

Nice album, enjoyed the beats. Not sure I'd listen again.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Dec 11 2024

I don't know what exactly I don't like, I think his voice isn't my favorite and the lyrics were odd. Melodies could've been better. It felt very difficult to get through this with all the chanting and repetitive lyrics.

Dec 12 2024

Really enjoyed this! This entire experience has taught me that if an album is folk rock I have a high chance of enjoying it.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Dec 13 2024

I liked this a lot. Writing this a day later though I can't remember any standout moments so I'd have to listen to it again.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Dec 16 2024

I really enjoyed this. Some songs felt slightly long for me but otherwise it was a good time.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Dec 19 2024

I liked this! Easy listening, relaxing vibe.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Dec 20 2024

This wasn't bad necessarily but it was awkward listening to The Rough and The Quick in the car with my parents....

Synchronicity by The Police
Dec 23 2024

This was a nice album but I wasn't a big fan of the vocals on a lot of the songs.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Dec 24 2024

I enjoyed this and would like to listen again at some point!

Transformer by Lou Reed
Dec 25 2024

There wasn't much that I liked about this. The vocals are weak, the guitars were fine but that couldn't save this.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Dec 26 2024

This was good, I think I'd listen to it again.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Dec 27 2024

A bit disappointed to read other reviews and see it's a cover album because I really enjoyed it! Taking off 1 star because of that.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Dec 30 2024

Loved this! Another amazing jazz album

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Dec 31 2024

What a beautiful album. I've never listened to Fleet Foxes before but now I want to check out all their music!

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 01 2025

If I had discovered this album in 2018 I would have been obsessed. Currently it's not my style anymore, but I'm going to rate it high with that in mind!

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jan 02 2025

I really enjoyed the vocal performance on this album.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jan 03 2025

Surprisingly I really enjoyed this. This album had the right combination of good vocals and fun rhythms to keep me entertained.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jan 06 2025

I didn't enjoy this one as much as their titled album. Songs felt a bit too long and I kept looking to see how much I had left.

I See You by The xx
Jan 08 2025

Unfortunately the voices are a bit boring to me :(

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jan 09 2025

I'm a fan of this sound, so I really enjoyed this album!

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 10 2025

I really liked this but I think I'd need more listens to determine if it's 5 stars.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jan 13 2025

This was fine but nothing about it was very captivating to me.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 14 2025

Maybe it was the atmosphere but listening to this album while walking through heavy snowfall wasn't the vibe.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 15 2025

When old men say that music was better in the 80s this is what I imagine.

Nowhere by Ride
Jan 17 2025

Listening to this album made me imagine running on a beach in California.

Odelay by Beck
Jan 21 2025

"Who are you?" "I'm the wizard of rhythm" "Why did you come here?" "I came here to tell you about the rhythms of the universe" I didn't expect this album to be so good. It isn't my usual style but I could see it really growing on me over time. I'm giving it a 4 though because some of the tracks aren't as good as others.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jan 23 2025

I sent the first track of this album to my friends who told me it's actually a musical! After finishing the album that makes so much sense.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jan 24 2025

I think this album is a bit too country for me.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jan 27 2025

Wow a three hour album. Before starting that felt intimidating but I found this album was a great escape for me during a rough day. I can't say I'd ever go out of my way to listen to this in its entirety again but I will still give it 5 stars.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jan 28 2025

I'm just not the biggest fan of his music. Something about his voice which impressive doesn't work for me.

The Specials by The Specials
Jan 29 2025

This one was a bit weird to me. In some songs the mixing felt off, and other songs were way too repetitive.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 30 2025

I was expecting Shrek bangers but this fell flat.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jan 31 2025

I didn't hate this so I want to give it a 4. I don't think I'd listen to it much but I had a fun time listening.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Feb 04 2025

Loved this. I think it would be wonderful added to my jazz music rotation.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Feb 05 2025

I thought I would like this more but it was just okay :(

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Feb 06 2025

I don't particularly love the vocal tones here which is the most important factor in music for me...

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Feb 07 2025

I had just gotten bad news before listening to this, so this album felt very therapeutic.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Feb 10 2025

This wasn't a bad album but it's not my style.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 11 2025

A really nice album. Very simple and calming to listen to.

Feb 12 2025

Didn't enjoy listening to this. I kept checking to see how many songs I had left and it felt like the list never shrunk.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Feb 13 2025

Her voice has this sandy quality that I don't particularly love. Not to say she's a bad singer but the tone isn't for me.

The La's by The La's
Feb 14 2025

There She Goes is so good but the rest of the album is nothing like it?? Disappointing.

Dookie by Green Day
Feb 17 2025

I really liked this but I don't think it's their best album.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Feb 18 2025

This was a very well done album.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 19 2025

I think this has some really strong tracks so I definitely will listen again. But other songs fell flat.

Feb 20 2025

This is my first post "A Complete Unknown" Bob Dylan album and maybe it's Timothee Chalmet's impact but I liked this a lot more than the previous ones.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Feb 21 2025

The vocals on this are absolutely grating.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Feb 24 2025

Her vocals are my taste so this was hard to get through.

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 25 2025

I liked this album, I just think this isn't the time of year I'd really enjoy listening to it.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Feb 26 2025

This was a pleasant surprise! I enjoyed it a lot.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Feb 27 2025

I guess this is fine but I was absolutely not in the mood for some heavy metal today.

Pump by Aerosmith
Feb 28 2025

Honestly I forgot to rank this even though I listened to it days ago. I liked it but I don't remember LOVING it. Lyrics a bit too gross sometimes.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Mar 03 2025

Just not really my style, but on top of that I disliked the skit portions and the entire album felt way too long.

Dummy by Portishead
Mar 04 2025

This album started strong and ended strong, but in the middle I couldn't help but feel everything felt very same-y.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 05 2025

I liked this. Not sure I'd listen to it very much on its own but I wouldn't turn a song off during shuffle.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Mar 06 2025

Growing up I always wondered what music my dad was listening to when it wasn't classic rock. This album is probably one of the ones he listened to. Unfortunately it's just okay to me and makes me think of late 90s early 00s tv shows.

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Mar 07 2025

I'm not usually a big fan of country music, but I loved the vocals here. The album also doesn't have TOO MUCH of that annoying country twang in the instruments and vocals.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Mar 10 2025

This wasn't that bad but it's not something I'd ever listen to again.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Mar 11 2025

This was pretty good, I think it would require a few more listens to determine if I'd add it into my rotation.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Mar 12 2025

Beautiful vocals, a nice album. I don't think I'd ever listen to it again but it was a relaxing 35-ish minutes.

Mar 13 2025

The vocals on this were mesmerizing. Even with the obviously 80s production which usually isn't my favorite I enjoyed almost every song. Sex Dwarf was kinda wild tho

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Mar 14 2025

This was really boring :( felt very the same throughout, all very stale 80s synth sounds..

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 17 2025

I really enjoyed this album. So grateful for the generator for introducing me to Simon & Garfunkel!

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Mar 18 2025

This was definitely a better album than the last Iron Maiden one I got. I can't imagine I'd listen to it very often but I enjoyed it enough to give it a 4.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Mar 19 2025

This was fine, the instrumentals were beautiful but I can't imagine I'd ever listen to it again.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Mar 20 2025

Absolutely iconic cover art but incredibly boring album.

Pornography by The Cure
Mar 21 2025

Great listen, I definitely want to listen to this again.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Mar 24 2025

I've never listened to a full Bossa Nova album before but this was amazing as expected.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Mar 26 2025

So I didn't realize the original version was only FIVE tracks and listened to almost the entire complete version. I don't regret hearing the entire Newport set, and so that's where I ended my listen and that's the version I will be rating. The MC sections are not necessary and ruined my enjoyment. I get it's meant to make you feel like you're there, but it's not for me.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Mar 27 2025

Her vocals are great, but this was just okay to me.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Mar 28 2025

Overall this was pretty interesting, I'm not sure I was a big enough fan to ever listen to it again though.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 31 2025

I found this album to be very boring.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Apr 01 2025

This was a good album to contemplate my future to, but not something I'd listen to again.

The Man Who by Travis
Apr 02 2025

This was great! Travis must be a cool guy to make such a good album.

Wild Gift by X
Apr 03 2025

I liked this but I'm not sure if I'd listen to the entire record at once again.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Apr 07 2025

I did not expect to love this so much! What a banger

Low by David Bowie
Apr 08 2025

Dare I say my favorite Bowie album so far? I enjoyed a lot of the atmospheric instrumental moments.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Apr 09 2025

I knew this was Steely Dan adjacent immediately which is great for me! A really fun album, definitely want to listen to it again.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Apr 10 2025

I really liked this, the instrumental sections were fire. But it's not as good as Yoshimi.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 11 2025

I liked this! No country twang, some chill guitar. I'd definitely listen again.

Apr 14 2025

What an album to pump up a dreadful Monday morning with. I would never go out of my way to listen to this but I couldn't stop dancing to it.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Apr 15 2025

This is fine, but it's not really my style. Didn't care for the interludes much.

Destroyer by KISS
Apr 16 2025

Not a bad album! I'd want to re-listen to it for sure.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Apr 17 2025

This was the first Beatles album I liked, and this will probably be very unpopular but may be my favorite still? I prefer how cohesive it is compared to future albums that are a bit too all over the place.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Apr 21 2025

A standard live album.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Apr 22 2025

This is a mixed bag. I found I liked half the songs but then the other half weren't very good in my opinion.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Apr 23 2025

This started out good but felt very same-y by the end.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Apr 24 2025

Who knew a man with a bad haircut and a blue shirt could pull off such a banger of an album?

GI by Germs
Apr 25 2025

This was rough.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 28 2025

Really enjoyed this! I'm excited to listen to it again.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Apr 29 2025

After finally finding the correct album, this was fine.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Apr 30 2025

This was fine, nothing I'd ever go out of my way to listen to.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
May 01 2025

I didn't really enjoy this. A lot of it felt the same in a bad way.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
May 02 2025

Not a big fan of the first song, but the rest of the record made up for it!

Lost Souls by Doves
May 06 2025

This was the perfect album to listen to while zoning out on the bus. If you need to just sit in your feelings, this is the album for you!

Headquarters by The Monkees
May 07 2025

I liked this it was pretty easy listening that gave me Beatles vibes. I don't think there were any tracks that made me go "Woah this is amazing" so it gets a 4.

Being There by Wilco
May 08 2025

I liked this but I wish it was a bit shorter. Some songs didn't fit the vibe in my opinion.

Fragile by Yes
May 09 2025

This was really good, I was so excited to see more Yes on the list.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
May 12 2025

This was a good album, I would want to listen again.

Let It Be by The Replacements
May 13 2025

I feel like the vocals on this album felt really muted? I wish they were more prominent because I couldn't focus on much else.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
May 14 2025

This is pretty good. For some reason I thought Sheryl Crow sang country music so I was initially dreading this album. It was so fun though! I'd probably rate it a 4.5 but I'll round down to 4 for now.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 15 2025

I had trouble focusing on this album due to how muted the vocals were. I get in certain songs it's more moaning than words, but I'd rather have no lyrics than impossible to hear lyrics.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
May 19 2025

While listening to this I was walking to the gym and it gave me big 90s runway energy.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
May 20 2025

A good album, but compared to the other Miles Davis album I got I didn't like it as much. Maybe a bit too chaotic for me, not as smooth of a listen.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
May 21 2025

There wasn't anything very standout about this album. A bit too much country and some just ok vocals.

Sulk by The Associates
May 22 2025

Very 80s.

Sheet Music by 10cc
May 26 2025

I enjoyed this a lot!

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
May 27 2025

This was really fun, very funky. Not sure I'd listen often so it gets a 4.

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 28 2025

I'm surprised I liked this as much as I do. It's an easy listen with good vocals and some nice guitar. Between a 3.5 and a 4 I think I'll give it a 4. I'm feeling generous today!

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
May 29 2025

This style was okay with the first couple of songs but then the weird vocal manipulations and sameness took me out of it.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
May 30 2025

Super fun, never heard any of the tracks besides the title. I had a great time working out to this.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jun 03 2025

A fun album. Dads everywhere rejoiced when this was released.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jun 04 2025

Vocals aren't really my favorite. Some of the songs just didn't vibe with me.

Jun 05 2025

I listened to this once years ago and wasn't impressed. This is the album that everyone claims is immaculate? Years later and now 450 albums into this challenge, I see it differently. I do like it, I think it's well done and flows really nicely.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jun 06 2025

This wasn't terrible but something about it just didn't click with me.

Protection by Massive Attack
Jun 09 2025

Another weird album from the 90s.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Jun 10 2025

Not very enjoyable to me.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jun 11 2025

This was fine but the monotone vocals killed some songs.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jun 12 2025

Kind of tired of albums with interludes of women having sex.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

A nice album. I think with TBB I need to listen multiple times to get the vibe, because on the first listen I just hear the very cheesey lyrics of the time lol

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jun 16 2025

This was a fine album.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Jun 17 2025

Honestly pretty good. I wouldn't listen again, but I enjoyed my time with this album.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jun 18 2025

The album starts strong and ends strong but in the middle I lost interest in a lot of the songs. I'd give it a 3.5 if half points were possible.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jun 23 2025

I've been looking forward to listening to Oasis the first time through this generator and I loved this album!

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jun 24 2025

I liked this and I'm surprised it's from the 70s! Sounds very similar to some music from the 2010s I like.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jun 25 2025

I'm kind of disappointed? The album mixes between mimicking the Beatles and weird bad vocals.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Jun 26 2025

This had some good guitar moments but otherwise it's the vocals that sucked for me.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jun 27 2025

This man has a great voice but bad lyrics and bland instrumentals.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Jun 30 2025

This was okay, not really my style. Felt a bit too long too.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jul 02 2025

I'm grateful this wasn't on Spotify so less people will come across something so atrocious.

Night Life by Ray Price
Jul 03 2025

The album introduction track gave big YouTuber energy. Other than that it was just okay.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jul 07 2025

Not fully cohesive and I think that's my issue with Beatles albums. There's a great album in here, but you'd have to make some cuts to get something that really sings.

The Score by Fugees
Jul 08 2025

Not really my style

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jul 10 2025

Yess I love a couple songs from this record already (the first two) so I was pumped to see this album included! I think it's a 4 star album, BUT if the weather is chilly and I'm feeling a bit melancholic this is a 5/5 album.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jul 14 2025

I'm a bit disappointed. Some of the guitar moments on this sucked, and I found that I continuously checked to see how many songs were left.

25 by Adele
Jul 15 2025

Obviously her albums are meant to showcase her vocals more than anything else, so in that regard it's a good album. It is pretty bland though outside of the singles.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jul 16 2025

This was a pleasant surprise! I enjoyed my time listening to this album.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jul 17 2025

A decent album for when you're in an angsty mood.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Jul 18 2025

I'm going to take a risk and rate this a 4. I think I'd enjoy this more if I wasn't in such a bad mood.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 21 2025

For the first couple of songs I didn't get it. Then I realized this album isn't something I'd ever go out of my way to listen to intentionally. It is however an album that would make great background noise.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Jul 22 2025

So the singing might not be more than talk singing but that didn't stop me from enjoying it!

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jul 23 2025

This had some good instrumentals and I can see why people liked Kanye a lot before. There was some catchy moments but again I'd never listen to this willingly.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

A solid album

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 25 2025

I will give Nick Cave one thing, his music hits different when you're sad.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jul 28 2025

There's a few good songs in here but the rest of the album is too aggressive for me.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jul 29 2025

So excited to finally get a Cat Stevens album! Very nice, will be adding this to my playlists.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jul 30 2025

This was just alright. Usually rock albums pump me up but the super long instrumental sections made me sleepy.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Aug 01 2025

So I wouldn't recommend listening to this when you're fighting for your life in the airport with jet lag. However I still enjoy it even though it made me thoroughly tired.

Aug 04 2025

This was my daily album the day after I had a flight, so I saved it for my return flight. It's definitely ambient noise, doesn't drown out the people talking around me but it did make me sleepy.

Aug 05 2025

Wow this was so good! The synths hit just right and I'm obsessed with the female vocalist.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Aug 06 2025

This had some great instrumental moments but the vocals dragged it down. Wasn't a fan of the more "traditional" hip-hop style tracks

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Aug 07 2025

Immediately I thought very similar to The Flaming Lips, and after a quick search that's not an uncommon comparison. So of course I really enjoyed this! Some tracks were weaker than others though.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Aug 08 2025

Very boring unfortunately. Not a big fan of their voices in harmony together which is most of this album.

Sea Change by Beck
Aug 11 2025

Wow this was great! Perfect for my melancholic mood today.

London Calling by The Clash
Aug 13 2025

This was interesting but I'm not sure I was in the right mood for it. I'd give it a 3.5.

Leftism by Leftfield
Aug 14 2025

A couple songs worth bopping to but the rest I zoned out of.

Tago Mago by Can
Aug 15 2025

Not every album needs multiple songs that are over 10 minutes long, and that's perfectly fine.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Aug 16 2025

This was fine, I'm not a big Acapella person especially for an entire album.

Slayed? by Slade
Aug 17 2025

Very standard rock.

Aug 18 2025

Not usually the biggest fan of post punk/new wave but I did enjoy this one! I think the lack of distinct 80s synths made it more enjoyable for me.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Aug 19 2025

I liked the beginning of this but once "It's Business as Usual" came up I started really not enjoying it. Some of the songs felt too creepy and others just too sexual.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Aug 20 2025

This was a nice listen, enjoyed the instrumentals a lot.

S&M by Metallica
Aug 21 2025

I was dreading this when I saw how long it was but what a surprise it turned out to be! Adding the symphony orchestra to this recording elevates it to another level.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Aug 22 2025

I wish we had more songs with the woman singing and less songs with the Bob Dylan/Paul Simon man.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Aug 23 2025

This was fine but nothing about it really grabbed my interest.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Aug 25 2025

Not a fan. Too chaotic. The second I saw Nick Cave was involved I wasn't surprised I didn't enjoy it.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Aug 26 2025

I liked the instrumentals in this album but I wish it was more singing than rapping.

Pink Flag by Wire
Aug 28 2025

This has some fire instrumentals but I think the vocals lower it a level for me.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Aug 29 2025

This was really interesting as my second Fiona Apple album. I liked it but I think I need more time with it.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Aug 30 2025

Dude can sing really well but the clapping after each song was too much.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Aug 31 2025

This was a pleasant surprise! Honestly maybe a bit too long for me, but I enjoyed it.

Vulnicura by Björk
Sep 01 2025

Her vocals just aren't for me. Also these songs felt too long to me, multiple songs above 8 minutes?

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Sep 02 2025

This was good but nothing super stand out about it. I'm not sure if I'd listen again but I enjoyed my time with it.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Sep 03 2025

Surprisingly enjoyed this a lot. Ther were some great guitar moments, a bit of brass, overall a good listen.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Sep 04 2025

I think this was decent but after awhile all the songs sounded too similar to me.

xx by The xx
Sep 05 2025

I think this kind of album is something I'd listen to more in the winter. It's very easy listening all the way through.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Sep 06 2025

This was easy listening for a Friday morning. I liked it, but I'm not sure I'd revisit the album very much.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Sep 07 2025

Country Elvis wasn't really my style.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Sep 08 2025

This album has some great saxophone but unfortunately that wasn't enough to keep me interested.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Sep 09 2025

Really enjoyed this. It felt like a combination of what I enjoyed of the Beatles and the Beach Boys.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Sep 10 2025

So this was fine. There was some moments of chaos I didn't love.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Sep 11 2025

This was okay, not really my style.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Sep 12 2025

I really liked this! Only was familiar with the classic hits off this album but I would definitely listen again.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Sep 13 2025

Nothing about this screamed "I must listen again"

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Sep 14 2025

Wild album cover but the songs aren't half bad!

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Sep 15 2025

This was fine, I respect the message and it wasn't bad listening.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Sep 16 2025

This felt so sparse for some reason? Wasn't a fan and kept praying it would be done soon.

Ctrl by SZA
Sep 19 2025

Honestly some of the features weren't my favorite but the rest of the album was good listening.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Sep 20 2025

Really enjoyed this, hoping to listen to it again.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Sep 21 2025

Very standard sounding rock and roll.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Sep 22 2025

This was interesting and definitely felt like something that didn't come out in the 80s. Will listen again!

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 23 2025

This was so good, I can't wait to listen to it again! I know it'll become even better to me with more listens.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Sep 24 2025

This record blew me away! I only knew Lovsfool but I eally enjoyed every other track too. I can't wait to dig more into this!

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Sep 25 2025

Very much my style of music. Enjoyed the easy going nature of some of the songs, will absolutely listen again.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Sep 26 2025

Someday is a banger but the rest is standard country.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Sep 27 2025

This is an album I definitely need more time with. I think my appreciation will grow with more listens, but I did enjoy it a lot as a first pass through.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Sep 28 2025

This has some good head bopping moment but overall felt very flat musically.

Sep 30 2025

Not really my vibe, was tedious to get through.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Oct 01 2025

This album is too all over the place. There's maybe one or two fun songs.

John Prine by John Prine
Oct 02 2025

Very country, very Bob Dylan.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Oct 04 2025

This just screamed bad 80s.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Oct 05 2025

I can appreciate this and I found the melodies good but it needed more oomph.

Oct 06 2025

This started strong in the first side of album 1 and wasn't bad after that. However it just didn't grab my attention.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Oct 07 2025

Obviously some great pop on here but the rest of the tracks were bla

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 09 2025

This was good but I fear it was a bit too long.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Oct 10 2025

If Tom Waits sang with 50% less gravel in his diet this would be 5 stars.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Oct 11 2025

I did enjoy the start but the second half of the album used some annoying vocal production

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Oct 12 2025

This was fine, not the most offensive 80s production used.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Oct 13 2025

Really enjoyed this. I already knew a couple of the songs and I think this would grow on me to be 5 stars in the future.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Oct 15 2025

Lyrics pretty immature, wasn't a fan of the talk singing or the surfer songs.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Oct 16 2025

This has some moments I could tell inspired artists I love now, and I did enjoy it but the 80s production made me enjoy it less.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Oct 17 2025

This was fine

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Oct 20 2025

Not bad, I wish there wasn't the talking interludes but oh well.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Oct 21 2025

This has some good moments but then there's some really dated moments

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Oct 22 2025

This was fine, nothing really stood out.

Oct 23 2025

This album has some good moments but not many,it was just fine.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Oct 24 2025

This was enjoyable for the most part but a couple songs near the end felt unnecessary.

Drunk by Thundercat
Oct 25 2025

This was so good! Lyrics were funny at times and it was just a vibe.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Oct 27 2025

This was fine

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Oct 29 2025

I liked some songs on here but this didn't need to be so long...

Sincere by Mj Cole
Oct 30 2025

This is just boring .. sorry!

Oct 31 2025

Wow 2007? Maybe it's because I've only heard snippets of songs but this album sounds very fresh still. Definitely understand it's place on the list!

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Nov 03 2025

The Alvin and the Chipmunks track is CRAZY.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Nov 04 2025

This sounded like standard 90s rock. Not tracks stood out and at the same time nothing was outwardly bad.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Nov 05 2025

Ever since I started this challenge and mentioned it to others, they'd ask if I got to this album yet. Because of that and my love for S+G through this challenge I was really excited for this album. I fear the hype is overblown with nostalgia glasses. Paul Simon sounds great, but my enjoyment stopped there. I'm not a big fan of the production choices I was shocked this is so beloved!

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Nov 06 2025

This wasn't great for a leg workout but great for stretching afterwards!

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Nov 07 2025

I thought this was fine

The Predator by Ice Cube
Nov 08 2025

This wasn't bad, could do without the interlude talking bits.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Nov 10 2025

Very much ambient, very much background music.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Nov 12 2025

I surprisingly enjoyed this a lot. I'm not sure I'd relisten to the entire thing but for sure the intro.

Rio by Duran Duran
Nov 13 2025

I'm only familiar with "Hungry Like the Wolf" but the rest of the album was just as interesting to listen to!

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 14 2025

Not bad! But probably wouldn't listen again.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Nov 15 2025

Some of the production choices weren't my favorite, especially on the vocals.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Nov 16 2025

This had some great songs near the end, but unfortunately the beginning was a bit weak.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Nov 17 2025

I was really enjoying this until We Will Fall never ended. Why is it so long!

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Nov 18 2025

The vocals feel like they're blowing out my ears

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 19 2025

Maybe it's nostalgia but this is an iconic album.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Nov 20 2025

This was fine, sounded like something I've listened to before.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Nov 21 2025

Started strong but it after the coughing was used in the beat I started to enjoy it less.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Nov 22 2025

Not bad! Unsure if I would listen again though.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Nov 23 2025

While listening to this I felt like I should be fixing machinery or building something out of wood.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Nov 24 2025

This is pretty but not something I'd listen to again.

Arise by Sepultura
Nov 25 2025

Doesn't sound dated which was nice, but not a fan of the amount of screaming.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Nov 26 2025

Tina Turners vocal are legendary but this album isn't something I'd ever go out of my way to listen to.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Nov 28 2025

This was fun! I'd have to listen again to know if it's something I'd add to my rotation.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Nov 29 2025

Had some nice moments but I don't think it grabbed me enough to listen again.

1977 by Ash
Nov 30 2025

I really enjoyed this! I want to listen again for sure.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Dec 01 2025

Lots of classic Beyonce on this. Not my favorite album by her but I think it mostly holds up.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Dec 03 2025

Really liked this! First half was definitely stronger but I may listen again.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Dec 04 2025

This was interesting but I wasn't a fan of the synths.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Dec 05 2025

This was so fun! I need to listen again.

High Violet by The National
Dec 06 2025

I know with more time this album will be a 5 star for me, but for a single listen it definitely gets a 4.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Dec 08 2025

I can see why this was so iconic! Great vocals and harmonies, great vibes.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Dec 09 2025

Not a bad album, but nothing I'd listen to frequently.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Dec 10 2025

This was pretty enjoyable. I'd listen again! Loved all the long instrumental sections.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Dec 11 2025

Everything came together here to make an amazing record.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Dec 12 2025

Another birth date record for me! Really enjoyed it, will listen again.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Dec 13 2025

I'm tempted to give this a 5 because it was such a vibe but I think I need more listens before I form that opinion.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Dec 15 2025

Beautiful vocals over some typical 90s songs.

Dec 16 2025

I think this isn't the right time for this album for me. I didn't anticipate entirely slow, ballad-y songs.

1999 by Prince
Dec 17 2025

Well, it sounds like 80s music. Maybe some songs could have been shorter....

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Dec 19 2025

Music like this is just so good. It makes me feel like I'm floating.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Dec 20 2025

I would listen to this again for sure.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Dec 21 2025

Outside of this challenge I got into Panda Bear this year and I've planned to check out Animal Collective for some time. Lucky for me the challenge is helping me out! This is so fun, so vibey, exactly what I anticipated.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Dec 23 2025

Definitely a one time listen only album. Fun group name tho

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Dec 24 2025

Kind of repetitive not very captivating.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Dec 26 2025

Enjoyed this, would listen again for sure.

Fun House by The Stooges
Dec 29 2025

I enjoyed this but I think I need more time with it to decide if it's something I'd listen to again.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Dec 30 2025

I enjoyed this but I think I need more time with it to decide if it's something I'd listen to again.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jan 02 2026

Great album to start 2026! Very funky, had a lot of fun with this one.

Jan 03 2026

This album is exactly my vibe. Maybe it's not very inventive but I enjoyed it so much!

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 04 2026

This was a good album!

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jan 07 2026

This was nice but had a bit too much country twang for me.

Jan 08 2026

Such a fun album to listen to! I never would have checked this out if it wasn't for this challenge.

The Cars by The Cars
Jan 09 2026

Would listen again. Fun hits and other songs were good too.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Jan 11 2026

Not really a fan of this. It sounded a bit too country? I know it's folk rock but it still wasn't great.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jan 13 2026

Jojo siwa who? THIS is gay pop!!

B-52's by The B-52's
Jan 14 2026

Definitely sounds like a debut album. The bones are there for something better but it sounds so childish in a bad way.

Jan 15 2026

I saw how this was a double album, and over two hours, which immediately made me dread listening. But now at the end of this album I really enjoyed my time with it! It was so fun, some great tracks in there.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Jan 16 2026

This isn't my style at all but it's not horrible.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jan 17 2026

The lyrics were the worst part

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 18 2026

This album made me feel like I was flying

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 19 2026

I really liked this I just wish it was mixed differently

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Jan 21 2026

Enjoyable but would need more listens.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jan 23 2026

The vocals are the weakest part for me, but I couldn't help but enjoy it nevertheless.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jan 24 2026

This had some weird lyrics like "loving the old world" and Pablo Picasso being a ladies man.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 26 2026

Tiny Dancer is nice but everything else felt very similar. Maybe it's just Elton Johns singing style, but I wasn't the biggest fan.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 27 2026

I enjoyed listening to this but I think I need a bit more time with it.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 28 2026

Not my genre but it's fine

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jan 30 2026

So good! Definitely need to listen again, I was surprised it is from the 70s.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Jan 31 2026

Hits afer hits and some beautiful album tracks to follow.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Feb 01 2026

If I wanted to listen to an old man sing pervy songs in a monotone voice I'd go to a local pub's karaoke night.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Feb 02 2026

A nice Elvis sounding album but the songs were just meh

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Feb 03 2026

Nice album, would need to listen again

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Feb 04 2026

I hate when fun albums like this are hard to find, but I'm glad I got to listen to it.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 05 2026

Not usually the biggest fan of 80s synths but the PSB always do it well.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 06 2026

Fine but forgettable

More Specials by The Specials
Feb 08 2026

This was nice but for some reason it didn't grab me

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Feb 09 2026

This was nice but I couldn't shake the "reminds me of Michael Bublé" allegations

Dog Man Star by Suede
Feb 10 2026

This was good life-contemplation music for my bus ride

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Feb 11 2026

I foresee this album really hitting me at some point in time. Unfortunately right now it's just okay

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Feb 12 2026

A beautiful final album. Nick Drake is someone I discovered through this challenge that holds a special place in my heart. His music is beautiful, relatable, and impactful for me.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Feb 14 2026

So fun. I think I need to watch the movie???

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Feb 16 2026

This was so interesting! Love seeing artists doing this style outside of NA/UK

White Light by Gene Clark
Feb 17 2026

I really liked this and need to listen again. But it wasn't an immediate 5 stars.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Feb 18 2026

The vocals could be better, this was just okay.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Feb 19 2026

This was definitely longer than it needed to be

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Feb 20 2026

This was fine but I've already forgotten about it by the time I'm writing this.

Arrival by ABBA
Feb 21 2026

What more can I say? Abba are pop legends! Even the (very few) songs I wasn't familiar with are as strong as any other song. A perfect album I fear?

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Feb 22 2026

Really enjoyed moments of this. I think with more listens I would adore it, sometimes it wasn't my favorite but sometimes it felt like I was soaring.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Feb 23 2026

Well, this was as advertised. Noise. There wasn't anything that felt like a melody or a beat that I could grab on to, just noise. Really not enjoyable.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Feb 24 2026

Not really my style. I find the vocals a bit grating and certain songs repeat themselves a bit too much.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Feb 25 2026

Really vibing with this album. Not my usual style but the vocals just elevate it.

Feb 27 2026

Take On Me is a great song but I imagine that's the nostalgia talking. The rest has that 80s sound which isn't really for me.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Feb 28 2026

The nicest thing I can say about this album is that it definitely keeps you on your toes.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Mar 01 2026

This album has some great songs but other songs just aren't as strong. Probably my least favorite PJ Harvey album out of the 3 I've listened to in this project.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Mar 02 2026

Good, I think I'd listen again for sure.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Mar 03 2026

This was fine but I never felt very pulled by it.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Mar 05 2026

I think with more listens I could really like this, but after an initial listen it was just okay.

Mar 07 2026

Okay even I'm surprised by how much I liked this?? Something about the emptiness and the base really did something right.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Mar 08 2026

This wasn't bad, it made me feel pretty calm. But not something I'd go out of my way to listen to.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Mar 10 2026

This was really nice, I want to listen to it again for sure

Mar 11 2026

This was fine, had some moments that reminded me of songs I do like.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Mar 12 2026

This is almost like trance guitar it sounds the same in every song

Mar 14 2026

I didn't hate this, and it was fine to listen to during a workout. But it wasn't really interesting

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Mar 15 2026

Didn't ever feel a connection to this album, it was just fine.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Mar 16 2026

This was too long. Also wasn't a fan of the vocal style. I loved the instrumental jam sessions but the vocals lowered the score for sure.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 18 2026

This was fine but sometimes the vocals were a bit grating

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 19 2026

Wow this was improv piano playing? Very impressive.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Mar 20 2026

This was fine and didn't really grab my interest

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Mar 21 2026

I assume this is a blues album? It's fine but it's not really something I'd listen to.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Mar 22 2026

These are some atrocious vocals

Electric by The Cult
Mar 23 2026

Just another rock album

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Mar 24 2026

This was fun to listen to! Definitely want to revisit

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Mar 25 2026

Didn't know Stevie Wonder made such fire music

Faith by George Michael
Mar 26 2026

This slaps! Great vocals, queer energy.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Mar 28 2026

I listened to this on the bus and it really made me zone out.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 29 2026

This album sounds like a record my dad would show me and then say "you just had to be there"

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Mar 31 2026

This was nice but not as good as the Trans-Europe Express

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 03 2026

Nice vocals, album is a vibe but not necessarily my vibe

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 04 2026

I liked this, didn't love it. I understand it's one of the highest rated albums on this list so I had high hopes but nothing about it made me think "this deserves an immediate 5". So I'm giving it a 4 and I think I'd need to listen to it again.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Apr 06 2026

Toy Story singer singing the N word MULTIPLE times? I don't care if it was "satire" and the 70s were "a different time"

Traffic by Traffic
Apr 08 2026

This album didn't stand out to me as much as others from the same era.

Arular by M.I.A.
Apr 09 2026

This is fun and I had a good time listening to it, and I don't think it's meant to be much more then that.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Apr 10 2026

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was anticipating and it's purely because the vocals were so good.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Apr 11 2026

I didn't think I would enjoy a full Kate Bush album, but this one was really good.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Apr 12 2026

I listened to this while doing errands and it didn't grasp my attention at all

Abraxas by Santana
Apr 14 2026

Really enjoyed this. Great, long instrumental sections alongside some decent vocals.

Tommy by The Who
Apr 17 2026

I didn't mind listening to this, however it just felt too long.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 18 2026

This was decent but not my favorite Radiohead

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Apr 19 2026

Decent album, not really my style

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Apr 20 2026

This was fun but it never grabbed me

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Apr 21 2026

Vocals ruined this for me, which is sad because I liked some of the guitar work a lot.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Apr 22 2026

Ooo this was great!! Thoroughly enjoyed my time listening to this.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Apr 23 2026

Some okay songs with at least nice harmonies.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Apr 25 2026

This was fine, but not astounding.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Apr 26 2026

The perfect album to listen to when you're wallowing in melancholy.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Apr 28 2026

I liked the songs without the screamo singing

evermore by Taylor Swift
Apr 29 2026

She could write music like this but wants to write music like The Last Showgirl.... :(

Vespertine by Björk
May 01 2026

If I listened to this in the winter I think I would have liked it more

In It For The Money by Supergrass
May 02 2026

I liked this! I'll definitely want to re listen someday.

Rapture by Anita Baker
May 03 2026

Wow I love this! It reminds me of city pop, and the vocals are phenomenal.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
May 06 2026

Just okay, sounds like something from the era but nothing standout

#1 Record by Big Star
May 08 2026

Not bad but not super stellar. Might relisten? But probably not.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
May 09 2026

This was super bland

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
May 10 2026

This has some good moments but not enough that I would want to relisten

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
May 13 2026

A really nice album. I'll definitely relisten to this

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 14 2026

Seven Nation Army was great but the rest of the album didn't grab me.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
May 16 2026

Wow great album! Need to listen to this again.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 17 2026

This is just a bit too long for me, and I'm not sure it's something I'd deliberately listen to ever. But it's good?

Ray Of Light by Madonna
May 18 2026

I don't think I'm a fan of this 90s Madonna sound. I think other people do it better.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
May 20 2026

Not my favorite Doors album. Nothing here was super catchy

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 21 2026

This was alright, I wasn't the biggest fan of the vocals on it and I think it held back my enjoyment overall.

Make Yourself by Incubus
May 22 2026

This isn't the type of music for me, but it's so of it's era.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
May 23 2026

I think I'd want to listen to this again. It's my style, but it didn't fully grab me

Boston by Boston
May 24 2026

Had good energy throughout, plus the classics I heard on the radio as a kid

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
May 25 2026

A visit to the gyno is why this gets 2 stars. Disgusting.

Kala by M.I.A.
May 26 2026

Forgive me all, but I was obsessed with Paper Planes in elementary school so there is some nostalgia in giving this a 3 instead of a 2. I can also hear moments that remind me of modern artists,which is pretty cool.

May 28 2026

First time listening to this album. I've always heard Kanye was a music icon in the beginning, and most of this album was just alright to me. However, Lost In The World slaps!!

May 29 2026

Vocals were just right, music sounds nostalgic. I listened to this on a sunny morning at 6am and it was perfect.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
May 30 2026

A Canadian queer singer in pride month?? (Even though this was generated for me in May and I'm behind SHHHH) It was just alright. I do enjoy her voice but this wasn't a standout album.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
May 31 2026

This is such an album of it's era. The Vietnam War songs, the medieval vibes, even the singing. I can't say it does it better than other groups I've listened to through this challenge, though.

OK by Talvin Singh
Jun 02 2026

Not really something I'd listen to and so I found it just okay

Sound Affects by The Jam
Jun 03 2026

Not bad but I feel like there's better examples of this style on the list

Kenya by Machito
Jun 04 2026

Enjoyed this a lot! It was a great Sunday morning album

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jun 05 2026

I had to listen to this on a Monday morning after maybe 5 hours of poor sleep. I think it helped me wake up but I think I'd enjoy this more without the screamo. Yes, I know. That's the genre! But the vocals are good and for my enjoyment, if there was no screamo element I'd enjoy it a lot more.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Jun 07 2026

This definitely could have been shorter, most of the songs sounded the same, but I guess in this album lyrics are more important.

Jun 08 2026

Only the title track was really amazing but I will admit that could be due to hearing it on the radio so much as a kid. The rest sounded very 80s still.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Jun 10 2026

An interesting album for sure. I can hear the soon-to-be-not-my-favorite 80s sound but it doesn't reach that annoying level yet. Will relisten!

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Jun 11 2026

I think if I got this early on in my journey I would have enjoyed it a lot more. But as album #800, it was fun but not a standout.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jun 13 2026

I swear this group participated in sound tracks for early 00s movies because they sound so familiar! This album wasn't bad and it did remind me of that time period, but I'm unsure if I'd listen to it very often.

Jun 15 2026

This starts nice for sure, and I'm a sucker for U2 vocals unfortunately.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jun 16 2026

So this isn't bad and I think it's quite good, but I just wish this kind of music impacted me more than it does.

Jun 17 2026

This is my fourth Tom Waits album, and I have to say it doesn't get better. His vocals are just annoying, and this album especially just feels like he's trying out being a comedian. It felt like I was listening to someone ramble more than music, I think this could have been left out of the book.

Close To You by Carpenters
Jun 18 2026

RIP Karen. I wasn't particularly in the mood for a happy romance forward album such as this today, but I'm going to try and not let that cloud my judgement. It's very wholesome, nice harmonies, and Karen is an OG.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jun 19 2026

This is just so dated and too long.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jun 20 2026

There were some fun moments but overall this is just alright.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Jun 21 2026

I think I would listen to this again. It has some interesting bones that I think I'd appreciate more with more listens.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jun 22 2026

For this album I liked everything but the vocals. They just weren't very pleasing to my ear, and it's sung more in that style of the era which I don't like.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jun 23 2026

This just didn't click with me. I liked most of the instrumentals, some parts sounded dated in a bad way, and the vocal weren't the worst either. Just not for me

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jun 24 2026

This was catchy, very 80s, but not in a bad way like some albums I've had are. Overall not something I'd probably go out of my way to listen to but not something I'd turn down if someone else wanted to play it.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jun 25 2026

I was trying to focus on this album, but someone on the bus had such bad BO that I think I went temporarily deaf for 15 minutes until they got off the bus. However, after I could hear again, I thought it wasn't bad but not very captivating.

The Coral by The Coral
Jun 26 2026

The harmonies were fun, at the start it reminded me of sea shanty people but that quickly left my mind. But it sounds like a pub band if that makes sense.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jun 27 2026

Wow this is exactly the kind of music I like to listen to!

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jun 28 2026

The vocals sounded so bored???

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jun 30 2026

Listening to this 21 minute album, I could definitely hear how it may have been an influence for groups I enjoy listening to now! 4/5 for a short, concise album with its own identity.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jul 01 2026

This wasn't a bad album, and I'm teetering between a 3 and a 4, because I liked it but it didn't stop me in my tracks ever. Fuck it, I'll give it a 4.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Jul 02 2026

Even after over 800 albums I love that I'm finding some hidden gems. This album is funky in all the right ways, and somehow reminds me of Gotye. I can't wait to listen to this again!

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Jul 03 2026

It sounds very nostalgic and raw, but not something I'd listen to willingly.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jul 04 2026

The hits on this album make up for the weaker few songs. Still a solid album, but with Mr. brightside that's not hard.

Jul 05 2026

I think this is a very strong album, except for the one freestyle guitar track... It just sounded like cars?

Scum by Napalm Death
Jul 06 2026

Well 30 minutes of death metal is always preferable to 60+ minutes of death metal.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Jul 07 2026

This album sounds like something misunderstood 14 year olds would cling to.

Jul 09 2026

This sounds very of the decade, and nothing about it stands out from what I've heard from the late 70s.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jul 10 2026

This was fun, but the second half started to drag, and I started losing interest while listening.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Jul 12 2026

Not the best Steely Dan album, but it's still a vibe.

Jul 13 2026

I usually don't love this style of 80s music but I really enjoyed this album! It has some great moments and the vocals aren't super obnoxious.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 14 2026

An interesting album for sure. I think this one would benefit from multiple listens and more focus on the lyrics.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 15 2026

Not the worst Nick Cave album on this list, it might be my favorite so far. By why so many? This man isn't impressive enough to have this many albums on the list.

Jul 16 2026

This was nice, and maybe I'd like it more with more listens. But on its own it didn't stand out after one listen.

Jul 17 2026

This album reminded me of Elliot Smith a bit, which I liked. I imagine for a lot of people this is "boring" music but I liked it enough I'd listen to it again.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 18 2026

Wow it's been awhile since I had to listen to an album as boring as this. I can't remember anything about it!

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jul 19 2026

Really enjoying listening to this. It wasn't anything special but it just hit the spot.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jul 20 2026

This just didn't click with me, and I would it quite boring and hard to pay attention to.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jul 21 2026

So this was a nice album but I feel like it's one you have to really sit down and absorb on its on with no distractions. Otherwise, it's just quite long with some strange moments.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jul 22 2026

I don't think I was in the mood for this kind of music, so it didn't really do anything for me.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jul 23 2026

This was just alright

Vivid by Living Colour
Jul 24 2026

This had some nice moments, but nothing outstanding.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jul 25 2026

This is alright, for a lot of the songs I enjoyed the samples more than what he contributed. Also -1 for a gross person

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Jul 26 2026

I understand why they chose this one, but as someone who was a child when Britney was huge, this is not my favorite. I personally think albums 2 and 3 are wayyy better and worthy of a spot. However this was still mostly a solid album.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jul 27 2026

So this isn't a bad album it was nice, however I really wasn't in the mood for it today so I'm keeping that in mind with my rating.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jul 28 2026

This was rough if I'm honest. There were very rare, 30 second snippets that sounded nice. Then it would go back to being painful.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jul 29 2026

I think this was just fine

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Jul 30 2026

Enjoyed this, it was perfect for a slow evening after a busy travel day.

Cut by The Slits
Jul 31 2026

This sucked lol

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Aug 01 2026

I love this kind of folk music so even if the songs aren't original, her vocals and a guitar are all I need!

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Aug 02 2026

This was quite long and strange at points

Aug 03 2026

I surprisingly liked this a lot. It does really sound like 2010s music but it was fun. I'd relisten

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Aug 04 2026

This album gave echos of Simon & Garfunkel and Steely Dan. Turns out they pre-date Steely Dan! The more you know.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Aug 05 2026

It's finally my turn!! I've been both looking forward to and dreading getting this album. Of course, it had to show up mid-vacation for me so completing albums before this, but knowing it was coming up, made it feel like I was climbing a mountain, but I digress. Back to the album. It's good that I liked the vocals and am a fan of alt rock/indie sound, because that's what most of this album is. I found disc 1 to be my favourite, it had the strongest songs. Disc 2 was more experimental and not as fun to listen to, so I found myself tuning out a bit. Disc 3 picked up at the start, but by the end it felt like they were just throwing anything at the wall to make love songs. I'm not sure if I would consider this an impressive feat, since I imagine most artists create a lot of songs and could put something like this together easily. There's probably a great album hidden in here, but that wasn't the purpose of this project, I assume.
