Popular Reviews

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen

Blind album, know the artist. Holy crap some songs blew my absolute freaking mind on this album, especially the Promised Land. This album, had so many hits that had so much emotion behind it. I love the instrumentals, I love the harmonies, the chord progressions, the lead ins. It's rudimentary and standard but it hits so hard and packs a punch I never hear anymore.

Nevermind by Nirvana

Naked baby make note sound good. Ear hole listen make brain feel good.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Always a great album to check out. Not one of my favorites but it is good.

The Real Thing by Faith No More

I have always tried so hard to actually like this and I need to stop trying. The hit song is not that good cause his voice is annoying and the structure and transitions are weird. I at least thought the cover of war pigs was okay at best.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi

I wanna do business with Mr Von Joni himself. Mr Bovine Joni himself. 3.

2112 by Rush
Sep 22 2023

Killer opening, love the long track and seamless transition. Classic rush sound of the famous Trio, the guitar solos are more similar to classic rock but still sounds great.

xx by The xx
Sep 26 2023

Basic and simple instrumentals that are catchy. Fantastic intro track. Gets more complex and louder the further into the album around track 3 and 4. The overlaying lyrics is a great touch.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Sep 27 2023

Went into the album blind only recognizing the album cover. Fantastic live album and the dude of course has the voice of an angel. I feel though that this album being so great hides the fact of why it's significant. Aside from the awards, it has the story of the legendary middle finger photo and that San Quentin and Boy Named Sue were both played and released for the very first time on the album live. And even better, this iconic concert, and many of his others, were free for those incarcerated within. Historical meaning and weight of this album is large but just as significant as the music.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Sep 29 2023

They sampled themselves LOL. Fun classic hip hop. Great closer, kinda funny it ends mid sentence

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Oct 02 2023

Blind album: never heard a single song from it. I'm supposed to like this, I know I am. I know this is in the same level as Purple Rain, but the title track couldn't even hook me in. I'm super divided on this and it sounds like Prince in his true form. Credit where credit is due, the sound is classic and the style is awesome. It's just not for me...

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Oct 03 2023

Only head of this album and never gave it a serious listen so "blind album"? It was pretty good, definitely David Bowie and the dude is weird but it's got style and he's got taste.

My Generation by The Who
Oct 04 2023

Know the single, not the album at all. It was okay overall. The songs were catchy and pretty good, but not my style and couldn't grab me emotionally like many others. Considering this is the debut, I'd say a very strong start and the Singles went out with a bang. The Ox is a great closer.

Low by David Bowie
Oct 05 2023

Blind album, didn't even know it existed in his discography. Very funky right off the bat and different from what I hear when I think Bowie. Groovy, and funky, and I love it. The 2nd half of this album sounds like an entirely different album though...

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Oct 06 2023

Finally, the well known alternative psychadelic Flaming Lips. Iconic album of theirs too, but they ended up doing even better in their next album (*cough* Yoshimi) and is one of my favorites from the 2ks. It's pretty good if you know what you're looking for and what to expect. This album grew on me over the years and is in my record collection as well. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this to first listeners because of this and would've rated this lower years ago, but I can't change the past and you can't control how you feel.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Oct 07 2023

The classic Bob Dylan and one of his numerous acclaimed releases. I don't actively seek out folk music but I've always enjoyed Bob Dylan's (and Johnny Cash's) voice. It fits his style so well and it's hard to dislike any music he has released. Good album overall.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Oct 08 2023

Blind album and artist. Honestly it had a decent start but it totally lost me at the end and I did not like the lead single Juxtapozed. Rings around the world is way better.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Oct 09 2023

Blind album: know the artist, not the album. I don't think I like this album as much as I should. It's okay and I think it's cause I don't like Velvet Underground very much or listen to them often. I want to like this album but I think I'll need to listen to it a few more times for it to grow. OK Computer was the same for me so who knows. I absolutely love the closing track which is funny cause it's the drummer singing. Murder mystery is very cool and creative as well.

Queen II by Queen
Oct 10 2023

Classic Queen, can't hate it 1 bit. Great album overall and is a classic. I really liked March of the Black Queen for some reason, and the 2nd half feels stronger than the 1st half.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Oct 11 2023

Nope. I think the rulebreaker is English unless I feel a lot of emotion.

Bossanova by Pixies
Oct 12 2023

Blind album, surprisingly liked it a lot like the other Pixies albums... Definitely their style and some of their catcher stuff.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Oct 13 2023

Blind album and artist period it's the 90s I can't hate it but it's not breathtaking.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Oct 14 2023

Blind album, know the artist. I feel like the album is good overall, but I don't listen to a lot of jazz to know what is good and what is great. I will say this sits on that high benchmark though.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Oct 15 2023

Blind album and artist. It's pretty calming and relaxing. I enjoy it but I wouldn't actively seek out this style of music. I can appreciate it for what it is though.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Oct 16 2023

Blind album, only know the artist by name. Surprisingly enjoyed this, and I don't know why either... but not my favorite.

Illmatic by Nas
Oct 17 2023

Another grat hip hop/Rap album from the 90s... catchy and a classic

Oct 18 2023

EASY 5. All the Glam and excitement of what Queen is all wrapped up in an epic album. The freaking deep tracks man... Love of My Life is still a favorite of mine. Sunday Afternoon is a shorty piece but great nonetheless. Good Company is like Tiny Tim but all the added tracks and flair of musical beauty. The album is a masterpiece.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Oct 19 2023

Blind album and artists. Creative for sure... but I did not enjoy this 1 bit. I can see what they were trying to do and step away from the norm at least, but this is not the way to stick out and fuse the styles together.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Oct 20 2023

Blind album and artist. It's okay, and that's pretty much all I have to say. Mediocre, as the youts would say... "mid". Electronic Hip Hop and pretty much all filler.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Oct 21 2023

Blind album and artist, or so I thought... I had the first song liked, Green Onions. I immediately knew why I liked it after less than a second. What a wonderful instrumental album with so much funk and good feeling. I can't help but feel happy and jumpy listening. It's bopping and dancy and it will get me moving.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Oct 22 2023

Blind album and artist once again. This dude I think tried to put me to sleep. I did not like this at all. I accidentally read a review that said he tried to he Tom Waits or something and I'm inclined to agree, he just failed. I was gonna give this a 2 until I heard the lyrics "water doesn't give a damn"? What? Using the cheesy line "you're the only 10 I see" too. Just no.

Low-Life by New Order
Oct 23 2023

Blind album and artist. Know them, never listened. Nothing much really to say, I guess it's also cause I am not a huge fan of joy division either... See the appeal, it's okay to me.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Oct 24 2023

Blind album and artist. It's creative and calming, just not for me u fortunately. I'm very selective when it comes to folk I guess? Piano is always underrated. I'm glad it's used throughout the album.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Oct 25 2023

Blind album and artist. Calming but nothing exceptional. Coffee house calm for sure.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Oct 26 2023

Blind album, not artist. I also have the hit song liked...? The album is okay. I love the use of strings but the vocalists voice just doesn't appeal to me.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 27 2023

Classic debut into the discography of Dire Straits. More to come and more refined later, but this was a great start and will always be notable for the band.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Oct 28 2023

Blind album and artist. I do not know what to think of this album but it feels repetitive and maybe it's cause the non-english lyrics? It sounds great but I'm not feeling it.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Oct 29 2023

Blind album and artist. Very catchy intro song and a few others. The end of the album isn't very outstanding or catchy like the first half.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Oct 30 2023

I know the cure from their '92 album and I thought they were a 90s band. Woah... guess I don't know them like I thought so blind album for sure, maybe artist? And now I know why I didn't know them or listen to them. Just not a fan...

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Oct 31 2023

Blind album and artist. This album is so gitty and happy I struggle to even find something wrong with this album. It's so catchy and fun! I would love more of this, his voice is so raspy, but so pleasantly happy at the same time.

Blind album and artist. What. The. Fuck... this is garbage... I genuinely tried to listen to this and I have no clue what this even is. It makes my ears want to bleed. Good on this band for trying to be different and do something artistic but just cause it's artistic and creative doesn't mean it's good. There's 1 audible track on here and it's not even good.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Nov 02 2023

Didn't even give this album a listen through so blind album, not artist. I know the hit Jane Says, but the rest of the album holds up surprisingly. I enjoyed the listen and the deep tracks. It's funny cause this album was released in the 80s, and kinda has that 80s hair metal vibe but with 90s twist and spice thrown in.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 03 2023

The bold Captain Beefheart... trout mask man wrote a real album. And it's actually kinda fun. I went in blind aside from knowing and listening to trout mask and I love the dudes voice. This album is filled with blues rock and drive. Some of the middle tracks were okay but it started strong for sure.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 04 2023

Classic Album, classic tracks. Legendary for the time.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Nov 05 2023

Blind album and artist. Know nothing of the guy but his name. Good 1st impression and decent album. Apparently I already liked the passenger on spotify??? It's good for sure but don't remember the song.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Nov 06 2023

Blind album and artist, only know the name. It's okay. Don't lime that the 1st album I heard of this artist was a live one, and it sounds like the band recording was maxed and put on top of the clapping and stuff...? Kind of bothers me compared to other live albums I heard.

Parklife by Blur
Nov 07 2023

Blind album, know the artist and the hit song. Quality catchy album I enjoy a good amount

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Nov 08 2023

Blind artist and album. The bookending 4 or 5 tracks were really great! Definitely a popular style for its decade, but they really shined emphasizing their instrumentals but also their vocal harmonies. The closing track was pretty interesting for its use if clapping and vocal breathing for a creative effect. Catchy as well. Mid tracks kinda eh but still match the vibe of the album.

Suede by Suede
Nov 09 2023

Blind album and artist. My mind was blown by this album, especially the opener so young. I loved this as a whole still but I don't think I can call it one of top albums I've listened to.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Nov 10 2023

Blind album and artist. Thought it was good, not spectacular.

Nov 12 2023

Blind album, know the artist by name. It was a fun album at times and a good listen. Fun, exciting, great dynamics as well. Wasn't my favorite but decent and I really liked the last few tracks I'd say.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Nov 13 2023

Blind album, know the artist by name. I only really like 1 track from this album and the rest was okay in my mind. Nothing notable, maybe if I listened to lyrics more it may be better but I prefer the instrumentals.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Nov 14 2023

Blind album, know the artist. No clue how these guys are popular and this album does not bring me joy. Snoozefest falling asleep. Dragged on. Not for me.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Nov 15 2023

Blind album, know the artist from another album here. Dont think im a fan of his work but that's okay.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Nov 16 2023

Blind album, know the artist and the hit from this album. Thought it was really good! Had some great gems sprinkled throughout and see how the band influenced many others and established Glam rock

90 by 808 State
Nov 17 2023

Blind album. Was petty good I'd say. It's good house for sure. Good house for sure. Good house for sure.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Nov 18 2023

Blind album, know the artist. Good listen but maybe no all the time. Very similar style across all the tracks and maybe a bit cleaner would've been better?

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Nov 19 2023

Blind album, know the artist. I feel like this is a slower rock/blues, and its funny cause I feel my self falling asleep to the song Nightclubbing

Snivilisation by Orbital
Nov 20 2023

I recognize this artist from 1 song, but this is a blind album. And I did not enjoy this. Some notable tracks had some style in my mind but overall would not recommend this to anyone. The bad outweighed the good.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Nov 21 2023

Blind album, had some cool beats and Bowie flair!

Rio by Duran Duran
Nov 22 2023

Blind album, know the artist and the hits. Was pleasantly surprised on the listen, especially the closing track.

Nov 23 2023

Blind album and artist. Only know them by name. I am in shock that I am giving this an album a 5, as it is scratching some kind of itch I normally wouldn't have known was there. The other thing that doesn't shock me though is I also gave Sex Pistols Bollocks a 5. Maybe I like 80s hardcore punk?

Sister by Sonic Youth
Nov 24 2023

Blind album. Another good album overall I'd say. Didn't think id like this band as much as i do so far. 2 albums listened to, 5 generated.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Nov 25 2023

So I always go into each of these albums with a fresh unbiased mindset. Always. Even my favorite albums. Doing that, and if I knew nothing about this album, the beats and instrumentation is catchy as fucking hell. But I don't even think these hits are that big of hits compared so many other tracks on here. Maybe I just don't like R&B. No clue. Maybe I like Bad more??? I just don't think I can give it a 5. I dont even like the song Thriller that much.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Nov 26 2023

Blind album and artist. Don't really feel anything good or bad after listening but glad I tried it!

Nov 27 2023

Blind album, know the artist. Little slow at parts and understand the appeal, but this one is not something I'd generally go out of my way to listen to.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Nov 28 2023

Blind album, know the artist by name. I thought this album was better than another I heard from them, but still not that great.

Nov 29 2023

Only know the artist by name. Blind. Repetitive and catchy as hell. I don't care what anyone says, this was a great listen and I was bobbing my head the whole time.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 30 2023

Blind album, know the artist by name. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed this whole listen though. I thought the flute was super cool and the style complimented well together.

Dec 01 2023

Known this album for a while. Went in unbiased and bout halfway through, I thought 4. Every damn time when I get to the end, and it shoots for the moon and gets the 5.

Dec 03 2023

Blind album, know the artist by name. This lady gonna put me asleep behind the wheel. This whole album put me to sleep and was very uninteresting.

Dec 04 2023

Blind album, recognize the wu tang member. Album was alright. I feel like personally a lot of the solo work that came out of hip hop that was from a group, never really compared to the original. The only group to successfully do it was NWA with Dre and Ice, and I am not a huge fan of Ice to begin with. Eazy E wasn't more successful IMO either. Wu Tang had the same fate in my eyes. Maybe a hot take.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Dec 05 2023

Blind album, know the artist by name and I totally slept on this banger of an album. HOLY CRAP my mind is blown by the diverse production and quality. This is what I've been looking to find and longing to dig up with this project. It's kind of indescribable and unreasonable how I entirely dismissed her and this album and I regret it from the start. I have 0 shame in saying I'm an almost 30 year old male and this is an amazing album and I would listen to this many times over. My deceased acquaintance, who I knew had amazing taste and worked in a record store, had this album in his collection. I still disregarded it. I have regrets not listening to this sooner. I don't even know where to start to describe it. The instruments, the vocal ranges and backing tracks, the melodies and rhythms, astounding...

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Dec 06 2023

Blind album, know the artist from the list. Wow what a trip of an album. Crazy cool parts, but i felt like my head was swirling. If this album was an acid trip, this is one where im happy, but im also laying in a corner drooling seeing shit. Like the album is cool, but parts of it made me feel very very strange.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Dec 07 2023

Blind album and artist. Loved the synth solos. Gave me Doors vibes.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Dec 08 2023

Blind album and artist. Never have I watched the clock tick down at the very end of the last track. Constantly hearing an awful vocal track that sounds like gibberish on repeat at the very end. This sucked

Hotel California by Eagles
Dec 09 2023

Hot take, this album is okay. Eagles have great hits and this album has some for sure.

Dec 10 2023

Blind album, know the artist by name. Album was okay. These albums are something I am trying and hearing something new, but i may not come back to simply cause it's just okay.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Dec 11 2023

The highly anticipated Fiona Apple. Bout time I get around to this album. I was not let down, but with the high expectations, id say they were met. Not exceeded. But it was a good listen! Regret not trying this sooner.

Odelay by Beck
Dec 12 2023

I remember the first time hearing this album and I got Where It's At stuck in my head for about a week. And it happened again and im sure it'll be there for another. Thanks project.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Dec 13 2023

Storm: *rolls in* The Riders: *Cue groovy synth solos* For real though, well rounded album. Not my favorite amd not perfect but still very good. Classic rock and would recommend.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Dec 14 2023

Blind album, know the artist. Catchy parts of catchy songs but overall not to the higher standards of Depeche when I think of the group. Like chocolate chip cookies, and the chips are way better than the stale crunchy cookie itself. Not Gooey and warm but it makes the cookie good.

Arular by M.I.A.
Dec 15 2023

I have the same feelings about this album when compared to Kala, and it's just more of the same.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Dec 16 2023

Blind album, know the name. Glad I finally got the opportunity to listen to this artist. Great listen and super unique and groovy

Dec 17 2023

Blind album and artist. This album did the opposite of destroy rock and roll. It made the genre look way better compared to whatever this album is.

Dec 18 2023

Blind album and artist. I did not really get anything out of this listen, not even a good track. I didn't hate it but was not good. It felt more electronic than rock in parts and I would not come back to this personally.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Dec 19 2023

Hot take: This is the superior Pink Floyd album. Not Dark Side, Not Animals, GTFO Division Bell, Wish You Here is a close 2nd.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Dec 20 2023

Yeah I can't find a reason to hate this album and don't think I ever could. Catchy, original, great lost of tracks and flow well. The fame and recognition of her music is well deserved.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Dec 21 2023

Blind album and artist. Apparently I have listened to them before but I cannot recall. Blown away for sure though. Some tracks were meh, but some indicidual tracks were very catchy and impressive. I actually liked Witness the most, not a single and not in the band's top 10 tracks on Spotify.

Dec 22 2023

Blind album, know the artist. I think im a sucker for G Funk after hearing more of these kinds of albums. It's so catchy at parts. The album as a whole is okay but some tracks are really catchy.

Be by Common
Dec 23 2023

Blind album and artist. I really liked the intro/starting track. The rest was meh. Nothing caught my attention, nothing swayed me away. Instrumentals were kinda cool but wouldn't rate it above anything notable for sure. Same with the vocalist.

Dec 24 2023

Blind album and artist. Know the album by name and the artist because of that, but that doesn't redeem this album in anyway. Glad I can say I tried it, but this was not for me at all. At least the title track was alright and creative.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Dec 25 2023

Blind album and artist. There are better folk/country singers. This was slow, at times, uninteresting, and makes me sleepy in a bad way.

Dec 26 2023

Probably the most iconic Christmas album that isn't Mariah Carey. Dude was a maniac though learning about his later years. I keep separating the artist from the music though and I'll keep doing that I guess. Phil Spector was not a good guy.

Slayed? by Slade
Dec 27 2023

Blind album, know the artist from their big hit. Album was alright honestly. Nothing big or memorable but I am glad I tried it.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Dec 28 2023

Blind album and artist. I thought this was some crazy cool sounding music and I was intrigued and hooked from start to finish. I loved the long jam Sagar as well as the opening track/cover

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Dec 29 2023

Blind album and artist. Instrumentals were cool but I did NOT like the singing or vocals. Thought it was produced very well in general

Rapture by Anita Baker
Dec 31 2023

Blind album and artist. Short and boring. Too calm for me. This would belong on a generic CD compilation set.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jan 01 2024

Blind album and artist. Cool nickname. Fitting for the album. Dude straight up attacked people with a fire axe, went to a hospital for 6 months, and then made this. Im sure the people he attacked skipped this album too.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jan 02 2024

This album has walked the stairway and will forever be legendary.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Jan 03 2024

Blind album, know the artist. Typical Elvis, did not expect much else and he was never a favorite or a dislike.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jan 04 2024

Blind album, know the artist for the infamous Tom's Diner MP3 fiasco. Who knew she had other music to listen to? /s It was alright and not my style but glad I tried it of course.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 05 2024

Blind album and artist. Long funk soul tracks? Kinda cool but nothing spectacular to me. I liked that 1 song with that really long track title though.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 06 2024

Ding ding dong dong ding ding dong dong ding DING

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 07 2024

Blind album, know the hits. I think I liked Tres Hombres more but the album was still a decent listen.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jan 08 2024

Blind album and artist. Cover compilation? It sounded interesting for sure and I am glad I tried to this style, but I probably wouldn't come back to this.

Jan 09 2024

I was never super fond of this album and supermassive black hole. I actually disliked how it was played at so many sporting events. Origin of Symmetry was better.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jan 10 2024

I feel like my ears are being given a fast and furious movie soundtrack, but written by a specific person, instead of a group of artists. And instead of car sounds, it is random sounds and instruments. Creative but not for me. I also understand why Paper Planes was the 1 song to make it out of this album and I was not a fan of that song when it released either.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jan 11 2024

Blind album and artist. Not the worst thing on this list, and credit where it's due for her activism, but some of these songs did not click for me, and the Rising Sun cover made me cringe a little.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Jan 12 2024

Blind album and artist. A weird techno acid trip is what this felt like and I am not a huge fan of it.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jan 13 2024

Blind album, know the artist. Happy and upbeat as expected and glad I tried it.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jan 14 2024

Blind album and artist. Snore. Is it just me or does he look like he could be a younger Epstein? Look at the akbum cover for Various Positions. Maybe I need to get off the internet for a while.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jan 15 2024

Blind album and artist. It sounds like an indie band from the 80s but that dont mean I have to like it. Nothing special at all really in my mind and I don't wanna go back and listen to this again cause I'll fall asleep. Even at a concert if they were playing in front of me.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 16 2024

Banger after banger after banger after banger. Drugs and emotion fueled the fire to create one of the greatest albums of all time. Just sucks that the band hated each other recording the majority of this album.

Eagles by Eagles
Jan 17 2024

I feel like the hits always carry this band and the album is never as good as a whole. Cant believe I am giving this a 3 tbh

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jan 18 2024

Known this album for a long time and over time my opinion has not changed much. The 2 hits from this album, Take Me Out and This Fire are still my favorite tracks and the album can't escape the mundane.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Jan 19 2024

Blind album and artist. This album was banging, funky, catchy, loved the sampling and turntable effects

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jan 20 2024

Best of the Stones work and such a classic. Such an epic opener too, and filled with more blues style gives it that unique feeling, and closing with another classic.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 21 2024

Great album overall and heard it several times. I love the Singles and I'm so glad these 2 ended with their best selling album. Well deserved accolades.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Jan 22 2024

Blind album and artist. Definitely one of the more intriguing albums I have listened to, but in a sort of weird feeling way I say to myself "I feel like this could potentially sound cool...?"

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jan 23 2024

Solid album, but not my favorite. Classic Beatles

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Jan 25 2024

Blind album and artist. Gives off vibes for sure and mellows me out, but these aren't my vibes and it ain't my flow.

Jan 26 2024

Blind album, I feel like i have heard this artist before by name? Album was alright I guess though.

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 27 2024

Blind album and artist. Know these hits and that's pretty much it. Solid album, but the Singles are the creme de la creme...

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jan 28 2024

Blind album and artist. I liked the vocals range of some of these songs as well as the instrumentals compared to other Latin albums I have heard.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Jan 29 2024

Blind album and artist. Not impressed by this personally and not my kind of music. N. O.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 30 2024

My girlfriend likes to call this the Hard Rock Cafe band/album, and I say it fits. Love this album.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jan 31 2024

Blind album and artist. Shocked at the beauty of this one for sure. Not a go to and not something I would seek out on my own, but a gem of what I was hoping to explore when starting this project.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 01 2024

Blind album, know the artist by name thanks to the project. Honestly I feel like the band is ahead of their time but that won't ever make me like the band. At least this album gets a 3.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Feb 02 2024

Blind album and artist. Big snooze fest in my mind and I do not see how this is special. Tech os first concept album? What's the concept??

Liquid Swords by GZA
Feb 03 2024

Blind album and artist. Know him from Wu Tang, and the album is interesting and cool, but not a top tier for me that I feel myself coming back to. Sorry GZA.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Feb 04 2024

Blind album, know the artist. Zilch interest but not the worst thing in the world I guess...

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Feb 05 2024

Blind album and artist. I liked some of the bluesy feel and im becoming very fond of this style of earlier punk and I like it!

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 06 2024

Probably one of, if not, the most American album there is. And being unbiased, this still might get the 5 when I thought it couldn't. The album doesn't have the emotional feeling of Darkness, but it still packs a punch.

Traffic by Traffic
Feb 07 2024

Blind album and artist. Album started strong and then just kinda dragged in the 2nd half in my opinion. Definitely middle of the road for me and not something I would come back too. Still glad I tried it as always, that's the point of the project.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Feb 08 2024

A lower Beatles album for me. It's okay. It's worse than the others and one i would rarely listen to if I did listen to the Beatles often. Check out Kurt Cobain's acoustic demo of And I Lover Her though if you like 90s grunge.

Fun House by The Stooges
Feb 09 2024

Blind album, know the artist by name but never listened. Kind of glad I didn't cause this is not my thing or style at all, but it's not the worst thing I've ever heard in the world. It got close to 1 star. Very close at the end...

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Feb 10 2024

Blind album and artist creatively fun in a way where it's just something different in some ways that scratch the itch but lacking in my preference of style especially her vocal style.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Feb 11 2024

Blind album and artist. I'd rather try and watch the movie and then shut it off 5 minutes into it and try to forget I tried to watch it.

Feb 12 2024

For a guy that has a massive feud and controversy list in Wikipedia, this tone of music is the last thing I expected. Statutory rape, kicking women on stage, stealing music and collab beefs, and a concert crowd crush, the list goes on. This music feels way too happy but I guess people in France and Africa like him that much? Controversy aside of course as I try to listen to the music for the music, this is still a hard pass.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Feb 13 2024

Unexpectedly giving this an album a 3. I thought I liked it way more than I just listened to it, but going in unbiased, it misses the mark.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Feb 14 2024

Blind album and artist. O ly know them by name and the albums cover. This album definitely grew on me upon listening to it for the first time. No clue how or why but I love it.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Feb 15 2024

Blind album, but some familiar tracks I enjoyed. Glad I got to see him live with Jackson Browne

S&M by Metallica
Feb 16 2024

Blind album. Interesting uh... concept? Why the hell did they open with the soundtrack to the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly? Not my thing.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Feb 17 2024

Blind album, know the artist. Pretty much more of what I expected from this artist that I have previously heard. Not my favorite but not bad.

Arrival by ABBA
Feb 18 2024

Classic ABBA. I know some people say it can get old. And I am sick of the Classics but I can't help but bop.

Black Metal by Venom
Feb 19 2024

Blind album and artist. I can totally see how this album was ahead of its time, but I still dod not like it very much. Glad I tried it.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 20 2024

Blind album, know the artist from another album on the project. I recognized the final track and the rest was kinda meh. I think I liked the other album more, the bluesy acoustic one, but still a 3.

High Violet by The National
Feb 21 2024

Blind album and artist. Honestly could've lived without this and been okay.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 22 2024

Blind album and artist, only know the hit 'Alright'. Wow this album blew me away. I was instantly sucked in and I loved it. This album is amazing and I loved the deep cuts just as much as the top song. Hard choices to pick a favorite track...

The Man Who by Travis
Feb 23 2024

Blind album and artist. I liked the slower indie rock more than I thought for sure. I do understand the radiohead vibes.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Feb 24 2024

Good soulful more modern folk music that you can appreciate for what it is.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Feb 25 2024

This album. It slaps.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Feb 26 2024

ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN! WOOOOOOOOO

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Feb 27 2024

Blind album, know the artist from another album on here. I pretty much feel the same way as the last album of his I rated. Pretty middle of the road. Intriguing but not my thing.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Feb 29 2024

Blind album and artist. Genuinely impressed by this style mirroring Radiohead in a lot of ways, but some parts dragged. Few select tracks oustanding.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Mar 02 2024

Always an interesting listen. Go to jazz album for those that are interested.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Mar 06 2024

Know the bad, blind artist. Nothing particular sick out to me but the one song I recognized

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Mar 07 2024

Blind album, know the hit. Hit was a hit for a reason and the album less so

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Mar 08 2024

Blind album and artist. This was very generic and bland to me across the board that I could not stand it. My loss I guess if I don't feel the same as others but this is just how I feel. Not good.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Mar 11 2024

Blind album and artist. This album makes my ears bleed and I hate it. It sounds like trash and the trash cans it came from were used to make some of the sounds on this album.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 12 2024

Blind album and artist. Just not my thing unfortunately. I loved the title track though

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Mar 13 2024

Blind album and artist. The opening track was my favorite and nothing like the rest. Low score from me.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Mar 14 2024

I always thought this album was underrated a bit especially since everyone knows the cover song/closer that wasn't actually on the original track list. The best song is the cover unfortunately, but this album has some great songs as well and worth a listen, especially if you love the 90s.

Risque by CHIC
Mar 15 2024

Blind album and artist. I completely forgot the opening track existed, but I'm glad this project opens my ears to new music and experiences. Solid 4, I'm biased towards those funky bass lines.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 16 2024

Blind album and artist. Did not expect to hear something like this on the project but yet here it is. No words aside from its elegant like the interior of a all white wall spa with glass shelves and a running gentle waterfall. And that is something I would not go to in my free time.

Mar 17 2024

Blind album and artist. This was very interesting for an experimental ambient instrumental album... not my favorite for sure but was very unique. Odd and spooky and eerie.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 20 2024

Blind album and artist. Great album overall. I loved their sound and I might've recognized What You Do to Me? Don't know where though. It is my favorite on the album. I wish Satan was longer for sure.

Mar 21 2024

Remember when this album was a thing and dont know why its on this list.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Mar 23 2024

Blind album cause I've never actually listened to it.Beginning to end. Damn it was a good ride

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Mar 24 2024

Blind album and artist. I wanted to skip songs many tracks and rip my earbuds out cause this sounds so dumb and annoying.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Mar 26 2024

Blind album. Great voice but it carries the album which kind of drags in my personal opinion. Thats what Ella is known for though.... The back songs needs to be just as prominent as the vocals in my personal opinion. It's all repetitive and drags on. It all sounds the same and I just was not into it.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 27 2024

Known only by name and never listened to the album. I don't know how to feel about this album personally. I thought I'd like it more... maybe if I listened to it I'd grow more sentimental and it would be more memorable. But first listen didn't do it for me.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Mar 28 2024

Blind album and artist. Some catchy songs but not above a lot of other dance albums.

Blind album and artist. Pleasantly surprised at how good it is. Holy crap this album grew on me for sure throughout the day and I'm hooked. I'm shocked how much I love this and this is why I started this project. Another album to add to my favorites.

Mar 30 2024

Blind album. Great style and songs. I can't hate Bob Dylan. I love what he does.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Mar 31 2024

Blind album and artist. Had its moments, but the lows were repetitive, and uninteresting to me.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Apr 01 2024

Blind album and artist. Gives me classic country mood with a more calm feeling.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Apr 03 2024

Had no clue this album was on here... glad it is. Well deserved.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 04 2024

Blind album and artist. TIL I don't like Elvis Costello....

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Apr 05 2024

Blind album and artist. This album is a trip.... I can't speak for everyone, but I definitely don't wanna go on it again. Don't take me to space if this is what it's like. It ain't dogshit, just spaceshit and that makes it not the worst thing I've heard.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Apr 06 2024

Bow wow wow yippy yo yippy yay Death Row's in the motherfuckin' hoooouuuuse. The epitome of west coast Hip Hop. Next to Doggystyle of course.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Apr 09 2024

Blind album, it was good at first listen. It's Bob Dylan so I can't complain. Few tracks were gems I will say, and the album was good overall. I want to give it a 5 cause a lot of critics would do that, but I can't justify it. Solid 4 from me next to Highway 61.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Apr 10 2024

Blind album. I like faster funky Stevie Wonder more. But this album was okay still.

Different Class by Pulp
Apr 11 2024

Blind album and artist. Not enjoying this one and I don't know why... just not my thing...

Solid Air by John Martyn
Apr 12 2024

Blind album and artist. My 2 top songs are also his most played on Spotify. But they are meh, didnt blow me away, and not something seek out. As the youts say... Mid. And the rest of the album was not up to par and bring the album down.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Apr 14 2024

Blind album, know the artist... I know they made huge strides for electronic music for their time, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Apr 15 2024

Hey its the band that Alexander "Skip" Spence tried to kill with an axe while high. Blind album and artist. It was okay I guess? Did not expect much and did not care for it.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Apr 16 2024

BRASS MONKEY. THAT FUNKY MONKEY.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 17 2024

Always a great album to check out. Not one of my favorites but it is good.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Apr 18 2024

Blind album and artist. I enjoyed this album more than I thought for sure. First listen is great and has some catchy songs.

Faith by George Michael
Apr 19 2024

I always thought this album was alright. Not a favorite but definitely notable and worthy of being in this list.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 20 2024

I've never been a huge fan of Radiohead and their later albums after OK Computer. This album was okay and I just can't see myself listening to this one again

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Apr 21 2024

Blind album and artist. Very strong start, funky, and fun! Ranges of volume and note emphasis, and strong. A lot of the same thing, but this was fun to try out and I'm glad I did. Not for me overall.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Apr 22 2024

Blind album, know the artist from another album on the project. Why is this even considered good.

American Idiot by Green Day
Apr 23 2024

Super cool rock opera album but not my favorite green day or my recommendation to those wanting to try them. Dookie all the way

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Apr 27 2024

How does 1 learn to smack their bitch up? Listen to the crab overlords.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
May 05 2024

Blind album and artist. Its like a DJ got flacid and stopped trying. I wouldn't say its a 1 but god.

C'est Chic by CHIC
May 07 2024

Blind album, know the hit and artist. I think I liked their other album on the peoject more honestly. Oh well.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
May 10 2024

Blind album and artist. Kind of uneventful and not very noteworthy in my opinion. I don't think I enjoyed this very much due to that but it wasn't unbearable. Glad I tried something new.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
May 11 2024

Blind album, know the artist and the hits. Good overall but not a go to. Middle of the range for this project for me

Who's Next by The Who
May 15 2024

Not the best album in the world, but still rock solid with an epic opener and a great closer.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
May 17 2024

Blind album and artist. Cool listen, I enjoyed it, but can we not with this album artwork?

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
May 18 2024

Blind album, know the artist and the hits. I totally hear the Sex Pistols influence when I read that they met at one of their shows. Super cool. The album was a fantastic listen, but the 2nd half let off the gas a little so unfortunately not a 5.

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 19 2024

Blind album. Not his best but not memorable...

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
May 23 2024

Blind album and artist. Kinda of generic punk album i guess? Nothing special nothing bad.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
May 24 2024

Blind album and artist. I definitely hear that merseybeat style and I think I like this, but in short selective bursts honestly. Too much even for a short album.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
May 30 2024

Blind album and artist. I feel like I've heard the band name though, just don't know where. Pretty middle ground album for me. Interesting and glad I tried it like a lot of other albums here, but did not click with it.

This is probably 1 of the few albums I would give 5 stars to without hesitation. It's a masterpiece across all of music in my eyes and a uniquely special album to many people due to its quality, style, depth, and glam. I loved each and every track of this when I first heard it, and still do. I'll also be the stereotype and say Starman is my favorite track. Call me basic but I love it.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jun 09 2024

Blind album and artist. Sometimes its just too much punk and maybe I wasnt in the mood or it didn't strike the right cord? Idk.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jun 13 2024

Blind album and artist. Another not so spectacular album that did not pique my interest, but glad I try new things. Cant say I didnt!

25 by Adele
Jun 17 2024

Blind album. Am I missing something? Her voice is beautiful but I just can't vibe or get behind her music. Especially this album. This 1 came and went with 0 memorable tracks for me

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Jun 19 2024

Blind album and artist. Harp was a nice touch but not enough to carry this album out. Unique in a lot of ways but I felt it was too slow and dragged, and I did not feel touched or impacted in anyway like I felt the album tried to do.

Jul 01 2024

Blind album. I did not wanna give this a 5 cause Courtney sucks but God damn this album rocked. Im totally in for the conspiracy that Kurt helped ghost write. I would believe it and want to.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jul 06 2024

Great album, just short. Couldn't believe the runtime. Classic country that I do feel I enjoy more, like Johnny Cash

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Jul 12 2024

Blind album and artist. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not in the mood for this album or if it's the actual album itself... but it's putting me to sleep and I'm not enjoying it really at all. It's like slow country and it is not my style.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 14 2024

Can't deny the tracks and riffs are catchy as hell. Even the instrumental track. Banger after banger. I mean I don't think it's a 10/10 like LZ IV, but this is my favorite of theirs that isn't IV.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Jul 25 2024

Well I know the artist and some of their hits, but I went into this album blind for sure and came out utterly shocked and feeling odd but at the same time, this album intrigued me in ways and I continued to listen to it regardless. And I'm concerned that I enjoyed this.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jul 28 2024

Know the artist and the hits, but blind album. It was decent and might go and listen to it again. Right up my alley for style and such. Glad I listened to it.

Signing Off by UB40
Jul 31 2024

Blind album, know the artist. I dont think I've ever had a reason to listen to this band aside from Red Red Wine, and I wish it stayed that way cause this was not my thing.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Aug 01 2024

Blind album and artist. Boring snoozefest of R&B that I don't like

Aug 02 2024

Blind album, know the artist from one of my favorite discoveries from this project. I definitely did not connect with this album like the other, and that is okay. It was still good but did not have a lot of notable songs or tracks like the other.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Aug 06 2024

This is probably one of the easiest 5s for me. I loved this album when I heard it. The creative sampling on top of the fun energy and lyrics blend so well. And I'm a skit lover as well so I thought the game show was so great. I have the original album on vinyl and CD, and they had the proof of purchases in the albums that you could mail in to Tommy Boy too. This album being locked from streaming for years sucked but I'm so glad it's widely available and got represses.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Aug 07 2024

Well known more recent prog/math Rock album that propelled this band into many ears to bless them with their awesome creativity and talent. It's definitely a notable one for me and I've listened to it many times. Understand it's not for everyone of course.

Aug 09 2024

Blind album, know the covers and the artist obviously. This god damn album made me cry so much cause I know it was his last album before his wife passed and then him shortly after. What a way to go out. Love for music and his fans. Every god damn track on this album is a gem, and so many of them made me cry. Including the last song. Every single track, cover, re-record. Every single one is so full of emotion and is beautiful. Not many albums can make a person cry but this one made me.

Marquee Moon by Television
Aug 11 2024

Blind album and artist. As great as it sounds, it wish I could give it a 4 or 5. It was original in many ways and I will give it credit, but the score isn't beyond a 3.

Skylarking by XTC
Aug 12 2024

Blind album and artist. Was a little underwhelmed throughout until that final track which i thought was really good.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Aug 13 2024

Know the album and artist. Classic Album but I always found there's a clear difference in the 1st half and 2nd half. The 1st half feels stronger and more exciting to me. And I'm being picky more than anything when I say that.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Aug 25 2024

Blind album and artist. Repetitive techno that was okay and catchy but not notable or interesting to me.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Aug 31 2024

I tried this album years ago when it came out. I didn't like it then, I don't like it now. It teeters between a 2 and a 1 for me cause its creative and the skits are cool and all but there are just some parts that make me feel like someone is rubbing my hair in the wrong direction. Wish I could tell you why...

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Sep 03 2024

Blind album, know the artist. Fun, catchy, and creative. I liked it but not enough to go out of my way to find this again I guess. Great background music for sure!

Palo Congo by Sabu
Sep 15 2024

Blind album and artist. I'm not even sure what these songs are about or the purpose of them. I wish I could but I clearly the message and the album was a bit repetitive and dragged. Very straight forward and not a lot of interest from me.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Sep 18 2024

Blind album, and after I thought I gave up on PJ Harvey, 2 of her albums did not hit right, but this strikes that chord perfectly that feels edgy and angsty but awesome in so many ways. So many deep cuts that sound great.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Sep 21 2024

Blind album, know the artist. Stevie always sounds great, but this album fell more flat than I thought. Higher ground is a great track though!

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Sep 24 2024

Famous old psychadelic album, of course I know this one. Iconic tracks, but the album as whole isn't as well rounded. I love Somebody to Love and White Rabbit, but also the beauty of Embryonic Journey. PS, Starship (the current band with Mickey Thomas) plays an awesome medley live of these hits.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Sep 26 2024

Blind album and artist. Such a weird name for an album, but its fits because this album is very weird. Trippy. Weeeoooooaaaa but unique.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Sep 28 2024

RIP Biggie. One of the OGs. Phenomenal album and such a classic.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Oct 02 2024

Blind album and artist. Middle of the road. Not great but not bad. Probably wouldn't listen to it again if I had choices, but smooth listening all around

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Oct 09 2024

I've only walked out on 2 bands' performances in my life. One was Modest Mouse starting late and being so loud it hurt, and the other is Kings of Leon... cause they suck.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Oct 12 2024

Blind album and artist. Decent listen and kinda fun, but not for me.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 14 2024

Blind album, know the hit and the artist. I saw this band live open for NIN actually. I thought they were okay and I wasn't much of a fan. Pretty much the same feeling of this album. It's alright. Oh well.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Oct 16 2024

Catchy at times, good hits, great flow. 4/5. The worst part about this band is that the singer is such a huge ass. She is so much of an ass that the band name gets lumped in to make a brand new word, but the word still has the same meaning.

Oct 17 2024

Blind album, know know the artist by name. Nothing in particular stood out to me and shocked me. Just another basic album that doesn't appeal to me much but isn't awful in anyway.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Oct 18 2024

Blind album and artist. That was a rough listen. I just listened to an hour of tango and I think id rather go back to that.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Oct 22 2024

Blind album, know the artist by name. I have no clue why anyone would like this. Some parts were cool but the moment vocals came out I immediately wanted to skip. This was a 2 until bout halfway through the song Super Rich kids. Now its a 1.

The La's by The La's
Oct 25 2024

Blind album and artist. Know the hit. Pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the listen. Not a top album but good!

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Oct 27 2024

Blind album and artist. I can understand the appeal but this just wasn't for me. Not 1 memorable track either...

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Oct 28 2024

Blind album, know the artist and the hit. I enjoyed this album way more than I thought. These guys are old ass hell but still Rock on stage too

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Oct 29 2024

Blind album and artist. Know the name of course. I can understand the appeal, and I thought it was alright.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Oct 30 2024

Blind album and artist. Not for me. Don't underside it at all...

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Oct 31 2024

Blind album, know the artist and the hit. I'm not sure if I'm just in a bad mood but half this album was fin and the other half sucked. No flow and I was flipping between bopping and wanting to skip tracks.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Nov 01 2024

Blind album and artist. Album is alright, but the title track carries the album for sure. 17 minute jam that sounds epic? Count me in.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Nov 02 2024

Blind album and artist. Not sure why, maybe it's the voice, or the style, but I did NOT like this...

Nov 03 2024

Blind album, know the artist. Album was pretty good for 80s which I generally don't see out a lot.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Nov 05 2024

Blind album, know the artist and the hit cover from the album. It was made very well, and had some catchy parts. Wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it though and it wasn't memorable.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Nov 06 2024

STEP INSIDE WALK THIS WAY YOU AND ME BABE HEY HEY! *cue kick *ss music*

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Nov 07 2024

Fun album and fun group, and great influence. Just not my favorite, but still a good listen and I know why people like it. It's just not not an album I'll go out of my way for.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Nov 08 2024

Blind album and artist. Album started very strong with the opener, but a lot of the other tracks felt weaker but the same style. It was well rounded, but not something I would seek out

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Nov 09 2024

Blind album and artist. This guy doesn't need a lover, he needs to make better music. Not catchy really aside from 1 song and i wouldn't even listen to it again.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Nov 10 2024

Blind album and artist. This is the stuff I hope to find exploring this project. Sounds like punk, but has some sick riffs and rhythms and the lyrics are goofy as hell but it sounds like these guys embrace it and it's just awesome! It even sounds like a blend of glam/Arena Rock with punk in a way and it goes hard.

Smash by The Offspring
Nov 11 2024

An essential to punk as a genre and a visualization of the essence of rock in the 90s. Plenty of other great albums came out in the decade, but I don't think this is one to sleep on. Love the opening intro too, it's something I always strive to do after a long day and some good tunes helps me relax.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 12 2024

I never understood the appeal for this album being so good. Its good, but not that good. Kinda funny these guys tried to do an arena tour and cancelled the whole thing for lack of ticket sales. This is an album by The Black Keys. The rating for this album is 3 stars.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Nov 13 2024

Blind album and artist. I was not happy to hear this album. It sounded awful and sounded like bogged down 80s with an awful singer. I spent more timing questioning whether I should actually skip a song than enjoying it

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Nov 14 2024

Blind album and artist. Nothing spectacular but nothing bad upon first listen. 1 decent song is their most popular I guess and no other words really. Mid? Am I hip and cool if I say that?

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Nov 16 2024

Blind album and artist. It's well rounded and a decent album, some songs fall short and others are good. Piano is underrated and I loved the utilization and other parts.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Nov 19 2024

Blind album and artist. Wow this blew me away. This is a hidden gem among the growing popularity of rap and hip hop. It totally sounds like it came out of the 90s. The beats were fire, the lyrics were creative. I couldn't get enough of this. Multiple hits, seamless transitions, cool skit, creative lyrics. This is why I started this journey, and this is amazing.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Nov 21 2024

Blind album and artist. Got very repetitive by the end and I lost a lot of interest aside from the artist's most popular track.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Nov 22 2024

Blind album, know the artist from other albums on the project. I get it. I totally get it. Im hooked so hard on this album. I love the wacky songs, I love the Heartland tracks, I love the instrumentation, I love the jumpy staccato that isn't too aggressive or overstayed, its the perfect middle ground, complimenting the legato parts and overpaying to make something you dont hear every day but brings emotion from the soul. The vocals fit so many styles, and the album being a jumbled mess of those styles isn't jarring. 1 bit where 1 song is rock/Heartland, and the previous being wacky percussive blues, it doesn't pull you away, it hooks you in! It sucks you in to tune in actively but still feels laid back. If this is the middle of 3, I cannot wait to hear the other 2.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Nov 26 2024

Blind album, know the artist from his soundtracks. Wonderfully delightful album, exactly what I would expect from such a notable name. Great track list and was very emotional and happy throughout.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Nov 27 2024

Blind album and artist. I loved the flute on the last song. Super groovy and whacky but chill.

Third by Portishead
Nov 28 2024

Blind album, know the artist by name. Kinda disappointed here. Had glimmers but this dragged on in my opinion. No clue what happened but maybe I'm just in a bad mood from my shitty job.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Nov 29 2024

Blind album, knew 1 song and know him from Pink Floyd. So I totally see the influences and how it relates to PF, but this is not, and it's different, and some songs were rough, and the hits aren't huge in my mind either...

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Nov 30 2024

Blind album and artist. This album blew my mind. I dont think it deserves a 5 but I still love it personally. Saddened to hear this got 0 marketing.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Dec 06 2024

Blind album and artist. Instantly recognized something about it and couldn't put my finger on it. Didnt realize it was eric clapton. Took a dive into the artist on wikipedia, and the list of musicians to join and leave this band is INSANE.... regardless. Decent album. Not a lot of notable songs for me.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Dec 11 2024

Volume 4? Solid 4. Not the best album by the band but still very good.

GI by Germs
Dec 16 2024

Blind album and artist. It's uh... interesting. Early hardcore punk? Well I'm glad I tried it and it's something new. It's different in ways and rough on the edges.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Dec 17 2024

Blind album and artist. This is one of those bands that my fiance and I would call a Walmart Band. A knockoff of a better band. A store brand band vs the name brand band. Why would you listen to the store brand when you have the name brand? To save money. This band is cheaper.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Dec 19 2024

Blind album and artist. I recall hearing some of these somewhere but can't put my finger on it... I'm sure it'll come to me one day. Album was alright and a lot of the same thing. Catchy at times.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Dec 21 2024

Blind album. I'm here to rate the music regardless of the person. This album had some okay tracks and it flowed well, and the skits were creative. I liked Dark Twisted Fantasy more though and I thought a lot of people liked this more from what they told me. Oh well. Meh.

OK by Talvin Singh
Dec 22 2024

Blind album and artist. Indian drum n bass is never something I thought I would listen to. Thank you album project. Glad I tried it but not my style.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Dec 23 2024

Blind album and artist. Kinda boring at times, sounds and little like Bowie maybe?

Doolittle by Pixies
Dec 27 2024

An album I have grown to love after so many years. The hits are so strong and the deep cuts pack a punch that makes the album so well rounded in many ways.

Debut by Björk
Dec 28 2024

Blind album, know the name and had another album on the list first. I expected so much more since I so many people bring Bjork up, and I was let down. Unbiased rating, honestly a 3. For the hype behind ti's artist and me being let down, I would give it a 1.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Dec 29 2024

Blind album and artist. Afro-blues? Definitely an interesting listen i personally wouldn't seek out, but glad I tried it. Sad this guy died cause Im sure a lot of people liked this, just not my thing.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Dec 30 2024

Blind album and artist. The album had a couple good songs but overall I was not vibing or really enjoying it. It dragged at parts and at the end of me ultimately.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jan 12 2025

Blind album, know the artist. Didn't expect much and didn't get a lot. Decent listen and glad I tried it.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jan 18 2025

Blind album, know the hits and artist. Wow this was awesome. Not as good as Hysteria but still awesome.

Jan 20 2025

Blind album, know the artist by name. Honestly I might regret giving this a 1 but im just not in the mood for this album. It's just dragging as I am listening and I just wanted it to end.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Jan 22 2025

Red screamy man artist. Who would've thunk they have other albums. JK. Blind Album, open to the opportunity to try something new by the band even though I don't even like Crimson King that much. Well this album changed my mind. Wow it was pretty good! I enjoyed a good amount of this and would listen again. Perfect example of this project and me finding new listening material.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jan 27 2025

Blind album, know the artist from another album on the project. Unsure if i liked this album more because it was shorter...?

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jan 28 2025

Blind album and artist. Not my cup of tea really but was interesting having a more quirky folk type album here.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Feb 02 2025

Blind album and artist. Noise shoegaze? Idk but this was not for me at many parts. Put me to sleep, but not repulsive.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Feb 04 2025

Blind album, love the artist and I've clearly missed out on some good tunes. Great listen and some nice hits within. Would enjoy another listen for sure.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Feb 05 2025

Blind album, know the artist. Snoozefest amd it dragged on for so long. Why was there a song that was all feedback???

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Feb 07 2025

Blind album and artist. Thoroughly impressed honestly. I love the tonality softness but the impact it carries on the beats and melodies. Brilliant.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Feb 10 2025

Blind album and artist. This album was super fun to listen and hear. I absolutely love this era of hip-hop with the turntables and sampling creativity, and it is definitely a great listen.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Feb 14 2025

Blind album, know the artist by name. This album felt very middle of the road for me in regards to specialty and uniqueness. Not memorable but not bad I guess. I zoned off for this without any effort.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Feb 15 2025

Blind album, only know the artist by name. I was generally pleased by this, and more than I thought I would as well. Opening track was a banger, but then as the album went on, it faded a bit and was come and go. Happy to hear more from the band if this was their debut.

The Specials by The Specials
Feb 17 2025

Blind album, know the artist from another album on the project. I liked this album more though for sure.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Feb 20 2025

Blind album and know the artist by name. I know this is her style from back in the day and while it was good at the time, looking back, I prefer other groups like De La Soul.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Feb 23 2025

Blind album and artist. Honestly kinda boring but not dreadful. I have no clue why this is on the album list.

Feb 24 2025

Blind album, know the artist and title track. What a weird amalgamation of synth tracks and funkiness and beats. Very cool and interesting, and this is not something I see myself revisting, but I would totally recommend it to those looking for more synth 80s music.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Feb 25 2025

Blind album and artist. The 2 big hits were good but kinda generic from what I could tell.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Mar 06 2025

Blind album and artist. Rock bottom is nit accurate. It's more like a 2 for me. Close, but not the bottom.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 07 2025

Blind album, know the artist and the hits. The hits were clearly hits for a reason and the rest of the album does not compare.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Mar 11 2025

Blind album and artist, but apparently I liked Take your Mama at some point? Was the best track on the album. Didn't particularly enjoy this whole album too much and in fact comfortably numb made me uncomfortable

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Mar 19 2025

Blind album and artist. Bad pop bad album. Pass. Not repulsive but not that good.

Mar 22 2025

Blind album and know the artist from another album on the project. I had a lot of the same feelings for this album as his last, but it was different in some ways that I feel I would not make. Less appealing.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Mar 25 2025

Blind Album, know the artist. Wow I was shocked by this album for sure with average expectations. It blew me away. I loved the dark grittiness but it flowed so well and kept me hooked throughout. Still had some filler tracks but I still enjoyed the majority of it. I LOVED the first half of this album. It was a jam for sure. I Don't Remember was my favorite track and will probably make a personal playlist of mine.

Electric by The Cult
Mar 28 2025

Blind album artist. I thought this album was kinda cool. No clue why it is on the list but I enjoyed the listen. Kinda generic but I still liked it.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Mar 31 2025

Blind album, know the artist, and the hit song. Hit song was the best on the album and it was a super cool album. Love their style and will always know the band as a staple for how much they have done. Personally I will lose brain cells if I listen to Funk all day sometimes so this gets a 4 from me.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Apr 03 2025

Blind album and artist. I've known for the name for years, and this project has presented a prime example of what I wanted to get out of this journey: try something new I have always wanted to try. Unfortunately this won't be an artist or an album I will return to often. Glad I tried it. Too dreamy for me, not my cup of tea.

Vulnicura by Björk
Apr 04 2025

This is my introduction to Bjork?? The fuck?? Not one of these tracks are in her top 10. Blind album and only know her by name. Her other albums on this list better be better than this... this album dragged so much and almost put me to sleep behind the wheel.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Apr 05 2025

Blind album and artist. I thought the album was very very nice in a sweet way, and I loved Lilac Wine. Aside from that, I don't think I would revisit this often but it was a nice change and a pleasant listen.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Apr 08 2025

Know the album, and only know the artist from this album. Definitely a middle album for me. Not something I actively go out of my way to listen to, and I know the popular track, but also will stick around if it happens to come up. No strong negative or positive opnions on this, just not my favorite.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Apr 10 2025

This band fucking rocks.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Apr 11 2025

Blind album and artist. Some of the samples used here were very cool and it was very creative. Too bad it couldn't carry the album to at least 4 stars for me.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Apr 12 2025

Blind album and artist. Wow, music to my ear holes. I genuinely enjoyed this more than I thought. Catchy tunes, great voice, nice chords and progressions. Very interesting but this is not my favorite album by far. Great listen though!

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Apr 16 2025

Blind album and artist. It sounded awful and loud and boring all at the same time, and personally would be okay to never listen to this again.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Apr 19 2025

Blind album and artist. Know them by name only, and now will avoid this name. Can't believe I gave such a notable band that I see everywhere a 1 but here I am. Did not like and would not seek out again.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Apr 20 2025

Blind album and artist. This is pretty good! The heavy songs hit hard and I love it, and I want to give this album a 5 so bad, but the filler songs aren't that strong, the slower songs. I will keep this band in mind moving forward for sure and will check out their other albums

Apr 21 2025

Blind album and artist. My god I loved this. Such a shame it was so short! 30 minutes?? Gimme more. So many great songs and so catchy. I love the sound of his voice, the echoing performance, the drums, everything. I liked so many songs from this and it was a seamless transition between all of them.

Apr 22 2025

Funky groovy group making fun albums as always. This is not my favorite Jamiroquai album, but still decent all the way through.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 23 2025

Easy 5 for me. Big hits, awesome deep cuts. Funky, groovy, wacky, quirky, crazy, wavy, flea is sexy? Can I join the band for my lyrical talent now? Wong ding dong dong ding dang. Drugs.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Apr 24 2025

Blind album, know the artist. It was alright for the most part and I only really liked the opening and closing tracks. I could see how this album was so big as I remember it getting awards and such, but I don't think I'm the target audience for this and I did not feel that this was meant for me. Good album, not for me, and that is okay.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Apr 25 2025

Blind album amd artist. This album immediately caught my attention and then just dragged so hard at the end. Strong start for me, and a slow finish. TIL NIN covered Physical from a B Side of the album for Broken EP. NIN did it better.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 26 2025

Blind album, know the artist. Holy crap some songs blew my absolute freaking mind on this album, especially the Promised Land. This album, had so many hits that had so much emotion behind it. I love the instrumentals, I love the harmonies, the chord progressions, the lead ins. It's rudimentary and standard but it hits so hard and packs a punch I never hear anymore.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 27 2025

Blind album, know the hits and the artist and have heard countless songs. Plenty of catchy tunes that can warm your heart and make you feel good. Great album that stands the test of time.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Apr 28 2025

Blind album and artist. I did not like her voice at all, and this album dragged hard for me. Skits and speeches were kind of cool, but no from me overall.

Apr 29 2025

Blind album and artist. Was not impressed and this album was dragging so much by the end that I almost started skipping songs.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 30 2025

Blind album and artist. Started strong and lost me completely at the end. Imbalanced but unique and dark.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
May 01 2025

Blind album know the artist unfortunately. So this album didn't wanna make me rip my ears off and stuff them, but it still wasn't good. This band got a 2 star streak with me as of now.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
May 02 2025

Blind album and artist. This album started do strong and I was ready for the epic journey, and then it just dragged. Hard... sucks but good song out of it I guess.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
May 03 2025

Blind album and artist. Interesting style for sure and it peaked my interest, but not my typical music or style and not something that blew me out of the water. Glad I tried something new I never would have before for sure!

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
May 06 2025

Blind album and artist. Had a few really good hits but the album as a whole felt a little choppy between tracks and the hits were almost anti-hits. Like he wanted to write 2 different albums.

Moving Pictures by Rush
May 08 2025

Classic Rush. Fantastic staple in rock and roll. Upon an unbiased listen, the hits are huge, but the album didn't hit with me like I recall. Maybe if I do this project again it will get a 5 but not today.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
May 09 2025

Blind album and artist. Yee stars / haw stars. I swear if there is another 2 hr bluegrass album though, I may use my pretend 6 six shooter and put my horse outta misery with myself before the dysentery gets me.

May 15 2025

Ive spoken to others and it appears it's a hot take, but Slim Shady LP > Marshall Mathers LP. These deep cuts aren't as good but the hits are huge hits and probably exceed Slim Shady, but album to album, it just isn't as good.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
May 17 2025

Blind album and artist. The fusion of funk, ska, metal was super quirky and cool to try listening to. It wont stick around in my mind but now I know it exists.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
May 20 2025

Blind album and artist. I liked this more than some other world albums for its simple and low beats, and harmonies, and another album that im glad I tried but not for me

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
May 26 2025

Blind album and artist. Im really glad this is on the list because this is something I normally would never listen to and thought it was super cool, but not my style at all. Glad I tried it.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
May 27 2025

Blind album and artist. Arctic Monkeys side project? Are they even on this list. It was a good listen, some slumps and not so good B sides but good singles.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
May 30 2025

Blind album and artist. Why is this on the list? "Bitch do you know what google says? Yes I do yes I do but I also know what that dick said that dick spoke to me".

Konnichiwa by Skepta
May 31 2025

Blind album and artist. TIL about grime, style of hip hop, which is am not a huge fan of, or at least this artist and/or album.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jun 10 2025

Blind album, know the artist thanks to their hit. Decent listen, diverged from what I thought the band would sound like based on the hit but also a bit of the same.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 11 2025

Hey, it's that band from that movie Studio 666. I liked their 2nd album more. Go have another kid outta wedlock Dave, that'll save your career. For real, I've kept politics out of this except maybe a few jabs. This was a solid debut. Not the best, but got the band where it needed to go. Some catchy hooks and grooves and riffs. Good album overall. I just wish the band could have a much better later discography cause it's not like these early albums.

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Jun 14 2025

Blind album and artist. Famous south African jazz musician who previously went by the name of Dollar Brand? 3 stars for his previous name, and it sounded peaceful. Awesome dentist office lobby music.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 17 2025

Blind album and artist. There were definitely some tracks that stuck out to me, but the album lacked overall. I think i liked the more hip hop funk influenced tracks, less so world and latin.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jun 18 2025

Blind album and artist. 80s country for sure that did not stand out too much to me.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jun 23 2025

Blind album and artist. Definitely some freaky weird and interesting parts and instrumentals. Soundtrack to an unmade film? Sounds like it.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jun 27 2025

Blind album and artist. Some really strong hits and lulls. Some cool transitions too.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jun 28 2025

Blind album? I dont think I've listened to the whole thing before but know the hits. The back half seemed to drag for me but decent.

Destroyer by KISS
Jun 30 2025

I did not like Kiss, and this did not change my mind.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jul 01 2025

Hilarious timing, I heard the demo of Chicago last night rewatching the TV show The Bear binging for season 4. Blind album and artist. I had no clue who this person was, but was pleasantly surprised by this album. Great soft listening with emotional impact.

Dare! by The Human League
Jul 02 2025

Blind album, know the hit. Hit is a hit for a reason.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Jul 03 2025

Blind album and artist. Nothing notable but not bad I guess.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jul 07 2025

Blind album, know the artist and the hits. Didn't hit as hard as I thought for sure. Some parts catchy but wasn't as good as people made it to be for me.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Jul 09 2025

Blind album and artist. Very odd album name and odd album.... He ain't getting new boots and panties from me cause this was not an album for me.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish
Jul 11 2025

Blind album and artist. Definitely feel the psychadelia but not my general interest for this older stuff. Cool Grace Slick got a song though.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 12 2025

Blind album, know the artist from other albums on the project. Another good listen to try new stuff just not for me.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jul 13 2025

Very familiar to me, but have not listened to the album before. Blind album. Thoroughly enjoyed the style, but totally see why the big hits are hits.

Jul 14 2025

I dont think i really like the hit song all that much, and the album either.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Jul 15 2025

Blind album and artist. I actually liked this style a decent amount, more than other albums on the list. Could've been my mood but I like.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jul 16 2025

Such an icon of funk and soul. Cant help but bop your head for sure

Infected by The The
Jul 18 2025

Blind album, know the artist from another album. I just didnt like this one as much as the other. No super hit tracks either.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jul 19 2025

Blind album, and artist, but know the hit. I pleasantly liked this album actually. It was interested and I loved the variety of instrumentation and the way it blended.

Jul 22 2025

This was album 666 on my list. Not sure if that's good or bad. So ima be neutral and hopefully the drugs won't be transferred through my earbuds and make me lose my mind. Still solid 3.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Please give it a listen if you haven't. Stop living under a rock.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jul 28 2025

Know the artist, blind album but know the hits. Meh tbh. I understand why this album is prominent, but it ain't for me. Album dragged so hard at the end.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jul 29 2025

Blind album and artist. Very pleasant listen I cannot lie.

Aug 01 2025

Blind album and artist. Once I got listening, it got me in a groove, but i can't stay in the groove all the time or go out of my way to play this.

Wild Gift by X
Aug 03 2025

Blind album and artist. Kinda boring lackluster punk album but still sounded decent i guess?

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Aug 04 2025

Blind album and artist. Hot take but this gets a 4 from me at least. Between the wide variety and creativity of songs and themes of love, I thought this was very well put together. A lot of the songs are short but pack a punch too. Book of Love was such a beautiful song honestly too, that I might learn to play it. Its cute and endearing and holds a lot of metaphorical meaning that I never thought I could hear. The song gave me tingles and was emotional.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Aug 06 2025

Blind album and artist. Sucks the guy died before this was released and sucks I couldnt enjoy it more I guess.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Aug 10 2025

Blind album, its no I Should Coco but its still good. This may be the band I could whole-heartedly enjoy discovered through this project. I wonder if theres more from them on here.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Aug 14 2025

Blind album and artist. I guess I liked the Dolly cover...?

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Aug 16 2025

Blind album and artist. So much potential and completely ruined by the end of this album. And dont forget the immediate screeching at the start that scares the shit out of everyone. The blues riffs are so freaking cool with the punk style, and there are good tracks in here. Just sucks that an album can have so much good and absolute shit at the same time.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Aug 19 2025

Fish man play music good.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Aug 20 2025

Blind album and artist. I didnt understand a word but the percussion was kinda neat.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Aug 22 2025

Blind album, huge fan of Songs for the Deaf. Im so glad I listened to this my god. Music to my ear holes, this was so cool and 10/10 makes me glad that I am finally seeing them live this year.

Aug 23 2025

Blind album, know the artist from Why Can't We Be Friends. Thoroughly impressed and happy with the album. Loved the style and solos

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Aug 25 2025

Blind album and artist. I loved the groovy grit of this but not enough to keep my interests throughout. At 1 point I was bored I think.

Aug 26 2025

Blind album, I liked this album way more than Skylarking. I loved the way this was mixed, and some of the melodies were so catchy.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Aug 29 2025

Blind album and artist. I want to rate this album 3 but the ending kind of dragged. I really liked 2 tracks but that was pretty much it.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Aug 30 2025

Blind album and artist. Downbeat electro chill stuff I guess. Not typically my thing but better than expected.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Sep 03 2025

Yeah, no. It started okay but it just sucked by the end and dragged. Constant reminder how I prefer old school hip hop and tuntablism and creative sampling.

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 05 2025

Everyone is gay.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 06 2025

The hits on this album are hits for a reason, but just because this album has some awesome bangers doesn't make the album that good overall. Just can't give it a 5 despite me wanting to.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Sep 07 2025

Blind album and artist. Was just not my thing like something was off in every song. Maybe the vocalist?

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Sep 11 2025

Blind album, know the artist and hits. I enjoyed this album more than I thought!

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Sep 17 2025

Blind album and artist. Gives me Walmart radiohead vibes and it was meh.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Sep 19 2025

Blind album and artist. 2 kinda cool tracks and the rest fit the style but did not appeal. Interesting style and instrumentation though!

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Sep 22 2025

Blind album and artist. Had some cool parts here and there but nothing stuck out to me aside from that.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Sep 23 2025

Blind album and artist. Finally heard thr OG version if Renegades of Funk. Rage did it way better.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Sep 27 2025

Blind album and artist. Walmart hair metal 80s glam rock band?

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Sep 29 2025

Blind album and artist. This was so freaking cool to hear something like this from the 60s. Grittier, more diverse dynamic, rougher Beatles for sure and I thought it was wicked cool. This is the stuff I love to find on this project.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Sep 30 2025

Blind album, know the name from this project. I was pleasantly surprised by this, especially about its basic instrumentation. Didn't even realize until halfway through, albeit a short album, but still. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but it's definitely not bad, and it is good, but I don't think I can give it higher than a 3.

Timeless by Goldie
Oct 01 2025

Blind album and artist. I prefer big beat i think over drum n bass. This was just too much for me and too long it felt. Maybe it was the over repetition.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Oct 02 2025

Blind album, know the name from Velvet Underground. I couldnt wait any longer for this to end cause I may have fallen asleep behind the wheel. At least the last song was a little louder.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Oct 05 2025

Blind album and artist. Slower old country album that I know has its place but isn't for me and ge n real listening.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Oct 07 2025

Blind album and artist. How was this album so short yet so slow and boring. Pick it up a little bit and have some fun, its country music.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Oct 08 2025

Blind album and artist. Definitely a cool folksy acoustic album that I am glad I tried. I thought mixing was very well done.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Oct 10 2025

Blind album and artist. I like the way its mixed in some ways and the variety of rhythms and the strings were cool too. But the vocalist felt a bit in the uncanny valley between okay and good, and it had a worse effect i feel.

Django Django by Django Django
Oct 11 2025

Blind album and artist. I was very invested in some of the layers stacking and being removed and replaced with 1-off effects. Some of the songs were bangers.

Oct 14 2025

Fallout fan, well aware of this album amd artist. Album was pretty good honestly. Every track fitting, kept the theme, little less intense than Big Iron but soothing.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Oct 15 2025

Blind album and artist. This album was decent and then just kept going down cause it was so repetitive. Im sure if I knew the words I would feel differently and maybe have more of a connection but just couldn't enjoy it like I thought.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Oct 20 2025

Hot take, I never liked this album that much compared to Paranoid. I always said this album walked so Paranoid could run. I see the similarities, but it's just missing something I can't put my finger on....

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Oct 21 2025

Blind album, know the artist. Cowboy is such an awful song that it sours anything it touches, including this album. I dont even know what the opening track was trying to say either. I dont know what this is, but it wasn't very good. Why is there a kid rapping about being 3 feet tall with a 10 foot dick?

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Oct 22 2025

Blind album, know them from another album on the project. This album felt more coherent and had better flow and seemed more crisp and clean. But outside of that, little interest

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Oct 26 2025

Blind album, know the artist by name and his recent DUI lmao. Completely forgot this dude got famous from NSYNC, and then completely forgot that I am not really a fan of him or the band.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Oct 28 2025

Blind album, know the artist. I know this album by name and im glad I also listened to it. But in a way, I also wish I didn't. Dragged hard, couldn't hook me at all.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Oct 31 2025

It's slipknot. It's loud. It's too aggressive for me. Specific songs i do like but have a mix of things and this album just made my head hurt.

Being There by Wilco
Nov 01 2025

Blind album. 1st half was SO GOOD. Would've been a 5. Just lacked in the 2nd half.

The Coral by The Coral
Nov 02 2025

Blind album and artist. Loved how it started, but got the end dragged for me.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Nov 03 2025

Blind album and artist. Some cool early psych elements and such. Cool this was recorded in a ballroom too.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Nov 05 2025

Blind album, know the artist. I didn't really expect anything other than what this album had in terms of tone and style and I did not like this soft folk rock style very much to begin with.

More Specials by The Specials
Nov 06 2025

Blind album and artist. Saw the name come up elsewhere on the project but haven't listened to it yet. I do not see what is special and honestly was not into the reggae ska vibe like I thought.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Nov 08 2025

Blind album, good listen honestly. Well rounded and move and catchy and soulful.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Nov 12 2025

Blind album, know the artist from another album on the project. I liked the roughness of this album more. The grit and emotion.

Medúlla by Björk
Nov 14 2025

Since this project, I have grown to dislike Bjork more and more. Production quality sounds great but that's just lipstick on a pig.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Nov 18 2025

Blind album and artist. Someone died to save this album from smoke inhalation and a fire? Sucks cause I did not like this album very much and I would not do the same for my job.

Nov 19 2025

Blind album and artist. If the afterfuture sounds like this, I dont wanna live in it.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 21 2025

Blind album, know the artist. Was never a huge fan of them to begin with but they make decent music in my opinion. And that includes this album. Catchy, upbeat, unique.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Nov 23 2025

Blind album and artist. Too low fi chill beat for me honestly. Not my thing.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Nov 24 2025

Blind album and artist. I really dont see how this album can be on the list but it was okay I guess.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Nov 25 2025

Blind album and artist. It's an hour of sitar.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Nov 28 2025

Blind album, know the hit and the artist. Pleasantly surprised to find a song i like much more than Solsbury, but i did not like this album as much as 3 but was still good.

The Cars by The Cars
Nov 29 2025

Know the album and the artist. I know several of their other albums, and I do feel that their other albums were better as a whole, such a Candy-O or Heartbeat City. Probably a hot take.

Hms Fable by Shack
Nov 30 2025

Blind album. Kinda generic indie rock for me. Opening track was decent too.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Dec 02 2025

Blind album and artist. With a name like primal scream, totally would've thought it was metal. Pleasantly surprised though. Some good tracks, album was okay.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Dec 03 2025

Blind album and artist. Never really been a huge fan of this style of music, and this album was not an exception.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Dec 04 2025

Blind album and artist. I loved this bluesy feel and it is very comparable to Rolling Stones. Whiskey Woman is a great track that stands out very much.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Dec 08 2025

Blind album, know the artist by name. Mid album honestly. Was never a huge fan of the band but I know people like their style. This album felt heavier at times compared to others but still didnt hit my note personally.

Diamond Life by Sade
Dec 09 2025

The hit was a hit for a reason. 1 other decent track id say.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 10 2025

Blind album. I am learning that there is a good amount of reggae i do not like, but at least I liked some songs.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Dec 11 2025

Blind album and artist. Crappy DJ music that I don't ever want to listen to again.

Dec 17 2025

Blind album and artist. Middle of the road for me. Catchy parts, short songs though, lots of tracks and some variety, but scattered.

Dec 18 2025

Know the album and the artist. I feel that Ice is not the best of this style, but credit where credit is due, and I do feel this album is good, but he has better IMO or at least the hits are better than an album as a whole.

Damaged by Black Flag
Dec 21 2025

Blind album and artist. A little too hardcore for me, and maybe 1 good starting/opening track.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Dec 22 2025

Classic funk album that is an essential to any music lover and open to new styles. Staple in jazz too. Lastly, prime example of instrumental non-lyrical music.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Dec 25 2025

Blind album, I am finding myself not bored per se, but sinking in my chair slowly listening to this to a point where i know i should get up and I think I do.

Calenture by The Triffids
Dec 26 2025

Blind album and artist. I dont know why people dont like this but I thought it was at least okay. Typical 80s to me.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Dec 27 2025

Blind album and artist. I actually got a migraine listening to this so im just gonna put a 1 and move on.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Dec 29 2025

Blind album and artist. If this didnt have lyrics, I would thought this was some DVD or video game menu music.

Dec 30 2025

Probably the most famous MTV unplugged performance that exists. Still a bucket list of mine to go back and watch all of these as there are many other famous performances and artists, but I do not recall many others talked about aside from this.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Dec 31 2025

Blind album and artist. Not for me personally. Dont know why but I just couldn't get into it and I wanted it to be over by the end.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jan 01 2026

Blind album and artist. Blown away. I thought this album was super cool. Such a shame though the 1st track went so hard and then rest couldnt keep up. If every track was as awesome as Deceptacon, would've easily been a 5.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 02 2026

I recognize this cover everywhere, bout time I actually sit down and listen to it. Glad I did to say I did but wouldn't go out of my way to listen to more.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 03 2026

I knew this album was a solo acoustic and even then, this album has soul. Too bad it ain't same without the band.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Jan 04 2026

Blind album, know this artist. A LOT of good tracks. I wish I could give it a 5 because it sounds so good overall, but this is just barely on the edge and I can't.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Jan 07 2026

Blind album and artist. Definitely one of the albums I am so happy to try on the list. It was super interesting and cool with the sounds and the flow of these tracks, but this just isn't up there with some of the other avant-garde stuff on the list like trout mask.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Jan 08 2026

Blind album and artist. Thoroughly impressed for being 80s and I thought it was very unique and catchy.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Jan 09 2026

Blind album and artist. To quote AllMusic, "American Gothic remains one of those great albums that never found its audience. It waits to be rediscovered." It's still waiting cause I ain't it.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jan 10 2026

Blind album and artist. Interesting gritty tone and style that I like but can't compare to some other bands. This is like a blend between punk, garage, and glam. I hear how David Bowie helped produce this.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jan 11 2026

Blind album and artist. 2 tracks gave me Glass Animals vibes but the vocalist has a similar style to older artists.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jan 14 2026

Blind album and artist. Hard no. Not my thing. I know the knife and I also dont like them very much so this fits

Scum by Napalm Death
Jan 15 2026

Blind album and artist. Walmart Metallica plus annoying grunting and smashing and screaming. I'd rather hear someone shove a mic up their ass and fart than this dude scream more.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jan 16 2026

Blind album and artist. The album started very strong and then kind of fizzled. I didnt mine the language barrier as the instrumentation and intonation was great.

The Clash by The Clash
Jan 17 2026

Blind album, know the artist and the hits. T'was good! Pretty much what I expected and I feel this has aged well and more rough for an earlier album.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 19 2026

Blind album and artist. Seen his name multiple times on the list but this was the first. Interesting style for bluesy punkish rock and it intrigued me, but this is one of those albums I an glad I tried but I dont think i will revisit. Maybe the other albums are better.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 21 2026

Blind album, finally got around to listening to this thanks to the project. I will say some of the first few songs dragged but damn, this album packs a punch. I especially love the transitions as well between some songs. I dont think im a huge fan of the title track, but im very much glad I listened to this.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jan 26 2026

Goo is good. This is pretty much the 1 album I know by them before this project, so I am excited to hear the rest

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 27 2026

Blind album and artist. Production and instrumentals are cool but how is this hip hop? I feel misled and I just couldn't click with this

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jan 29 2026

Blind album and artist. This album hooked me so hard and then dropped off by the end. The instrumentals are fantastic, I just wish it could've held up with some other artists of this sampling and style.

Arise by Sepultura
Feb 02 2026

Blind album and artist. Brazilian Death Metal? I guess I won't be listening to this very much in the future.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Feb 03 2026

Blind album and artist. I can never understand this R&B like this with this style. Its unappealing sometimes.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Feb 04 2026

Blind album and artist. So blown away, wish I could even tell you why, but I just can't. I thought the album tied so well together. I loved the instrumentation. I loved the vocalists tone. I loved it all.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Feb 05 2026

Blind album and artist. This might put me to sleep behind the wheel one day.

The Slider by T. Rex
Feb 09 2026

Blind album. Holy Bologna! Its almost as if this band blossomed from Electric Warrior, gave it the missing ingredient, and perfected the recipe. Its so funky and groovy, and i love how a lot of the progressions resolve down but feel cool. Insert sunglasses emoji. Ballrooms of Mars is a slow track and potentially a favorite, but Buick McCane kicks butt, and the 2 singles are like fireworks burning bright and all the little details in picture come to fruition. Did not expect to give T. Rex a 5 but here we are. I wouldn't have found this album if it wasnt for the project.

Faust IV by Faust
Feb 10 2026

Blind album and artist. This album was hit and miss all over the place. Great nuggets of sound and then snooze in other places. I also thought it was cool how the songs themselves have such a variety within itself, quiet parts and cool rhythmic parts.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Feb 11 2026

Bee gees? Like the bee gees? This was not what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised. Blind album. Had a great folk feeling and flowed really well actually.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Feb 12 2026

Blind album and artist. Recognized the exorcist theme right way. Album as a whole was a lot of the same and a decent listen beginning to end. Would listen again.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Feb 13 2026

Blind album and artist. I wanted to skip songs so bad. This was not good in my opinion. No clue why, maybe the vocals, intonation, no clue but I almost didn't make it.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Feb 14 2026

Blind album and artist. I love the instrumentation style and beats, but i did not like the lyrics or vocals as much as some other artists and albums.

White Ladder by David Gray
Feb 16 2026

Blind album and artist. Kinda meh honestly. Glad I tried it but won't revisit. Too bland

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Feb 17 2026

Blind album and artist. Im a little shocked I did not like any of these songs in the top 10 streamed for the artist. Guess I liked the more unusual less popular deeper cuts? They were more fun and upbeat and catchy. Especially Silver Platter and that piano rhythm, except the lyrics being upbeat.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Feb 18 2026

Blind album and artist. This album sounds so good, and I love the synth and the soft sounds as well as the rough sounds and harder hitting songs. It's a great blend of different songs that still flow very well and have a glimmer of something special in each track. I love this album and feel it should be a 4 but I've gone back and listened to it the next day and so.ething that does that makes me feel it's a 5.

Ctrl by SZA
Feb 19 2026

Blind album, know the artist by name. Ctrl+D this album from my brain. Never liked her, this album won't change my mind. What the fuck does "Skrt Skrt" even mean??? This album will be 20 something at some point, and I hope no one tries to talk to me about it.

Third by Soft Machine
Feb 20 2026

Blind album and artist. This album no from me jazz dog.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Feb 21 2026

Blind album and artist. I fucking loved the eagle screech opening the 2nd track. Kinda funny it covers the Queen One Vision too where I can't unhear 1 Dump, 1 Turd, 2 Tits, John Deacon. Immediate 3 at minimum.

Feb 22 2026

TIL Chicago's original name was Chicago Transit Authority. Blind album. Decent and fun at times but not something I actively seek out. Was never super into the band either.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Feb 23 2026

Blind album and artist. Cool that this guy was a Wailer and also got this album banned. Kinda crazy. But... I don't think I can personally listen to a lot of this for very long.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Feb 24 2026

S-N-DOUBLE O-P! D-O-DOUBLE G! WHATS HIS MOTHERFUCKING NAME?

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 25 2026

A much better rock album than most of Jimi's others. 4.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Feb 26 2026

Was not a stranger to this at all. If this system was out of 10, this would be that 9. I can't call it a perfect 10 cause the back half tracks are not very strong, but I will still give it a 5/5.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Feb 27 2026

Blind album and artist. Typical soft 80s that I generally don't listen to but this was was very middle of the road with the vocal tonality and instrumentation.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Feb 28 2026

Blind album and artist. I didn't like the main hit, but some of the deeper cuts were good.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Mar 01 2026

Alright hot take, I dont like this album. I wish I could tell you why, I just don't. OK Computer is a fucking masterpiece, and this feels so much less for me where I find myself bored.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Mar 02 2026

Blind album and artist. Nothing special but nothing bad I guess... Probably will forget i listened to this tomorrow.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Mar 03 2026

Blind album and artist. Shamed i didn't like this until the final track.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 04 2026

Blind album. Smooth listening id say, but don't think I like Reggae, sorry Bobby boi

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Mar 05 2026

Blind album and artist. I was impressed in the first half, and then it dragged. Shame.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Mar 06 2026

Blind album and artist. Don't have much to say except it wasn't for me.

Soul Mining by The The
Mar 07 2026

Blind album and artist. These songs are so catchy and funky I had to give it a 2nd listen.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Mar 08 2026

Blind album and artist. Some cool tracks I guess...?

Mar 09 2026

I love the tone and style of these albums that Queen released. So many gems sprinkled within and you are always in for something special the way these albums are mixed.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 10 2026

Blind album, know the artist and the hits from the album. Guess there was a reason I never went and listened to it cause I had a feeling I wouldn't like it. Glad I tried it, and glad to say I probably won't listen to this album as a whole again. 2.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Mar 11 2026

Yeah, not for me. Great production quality, and well rounded album though.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Mar 12 2026

I have always tried so hard to actually like this and I need to stop trying. The hit song is not that good cause his voice is annoying and the structure and transitions are weird. I at least thought the cover of war pigs was okay at best.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Mar 13 2026

Blind album, know the artist. This album makes me wish I didn't cause this was probably the worst album I could have heard by them. I hope there are others that are better.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Mar 14 2026

Blind album, know the artist and the hit. I was never a huge fan of the hit to begin with but I totally understand the style and the way the band sounds. Still couldn't change my perspective of the album though. It's okay.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 15 2026

Can't believe Im gonna say it, but i think I like Darkness more than this album, but it is still good!

Document by R.E.M.
Mar 16 2026

Album is a solid 4. Great singles, great flow, decent deep cuts. Well rounded and s good listen overall.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Mar 17 2026

Blind album, know the artist, have heard of the album. Honestly it was a good listen. Something very unique and special, but still can't quite give it a 5.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 18 2026

Blind album, know the artist by name. Very repetitive but also catchy. House vibes. Very intriguing in many ways and kept my attention throughout.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Mar 19 2026

Blind album and artist. I really liked this, and way more than I thought. I totally thought this could be something out of the 80s but yet it was released in 03. Another hidden gem and prime example of why I am doing this project.

Homework by Daft Punk
Mar 20 2026

Stop the music and go home I repeat, stop the music right now

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 21 2026

Blind album, dont live under a rock so I know CCR. Album was okay. Very typical style and was s good listen.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 22 2026

Blind album and artist. This album had some sprinkles of interesting but couldn't hook me aside from 1 song.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Mar 26 2026

I wanna do business with Mr Von Joni himself. Mr Bovine Joni himself. 3.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Mar 27 2026

Blind album, know the artist. Too slow, too raspy, too much.

Mar 28 2026

Blind album and artist. Ear destruction without the loud volume. Screech and clicking and annoying sounds. Point for creativity fron where those aounds came from, but negative points for everything else. I may look into the creepypasta though at some point.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 29 2026

Blind album, know the artist thanks to their hit. Album was very middleground I'd say. Not so good songs, okay songs, nothing stood out. A lot of the same, like a meal that needed more flavor.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Mar 30 2026

Blind album, the man with double digit wives makes good music i guess. Like the ither album in this list as well as this one.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 31 2026

Naked baby make note sound good. Ear hole listen make brain feel good.

Is This It by The Strokes
Apr 01 2026

Tried my best to listen to this unbiasedly given I am very familiar with this album. I think the biggest issue for me is that growing up, I heard these singles, and even tried to learn to play them. Downside? It was only ever those singles and they can't carry the album. 4 at best.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Apr 02 2026

Blind album and artist. I thought the synth melodies were kinda cool but can't carry the album as a whole.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Apr 03 2026

Blind album, know the artist. Good listen for sure, and I liked this more than other jazz albums I'd say. Maybe it was the swing, the piano? 4.

Cut by The Slits
Apr 04 2026

Blind album and artist. Start of the girl punk era? Kinda cool I guess. Sounds interesting but not my niche.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Apr 05 2026

Blind album and artist. This made me lose braincells, instrumental reggae is a hard pass for me after the 1st track of trying this...

Odessa by Bee Gees
Apr 06 2026

Blind album, know the artist. I thought this was better than the other bee gees album I listened to before this one, but nothing notable.

Apr 07 2026

Blind album, know the artist by name. Glad I was finally given the opportunity through the project to check him out and I very much enjoyed this funky unique listen. 4.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Apr 08 2026

Blind album, know the artist by name. TIL Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan was a cover. My life is a lie. JK, good song, good album, Bobby Boi did the track better. 3.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Apr 09 2026

Blind album, know the artist. I was always impressed with Ray Charles, as well as many other musicians on this list. This style is not something I would go out of my way to listen to though.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Apr 10 2026

Blind album, know the artist by name. Album had a Lotta soul but my soul didn't wanna party so I guess its a no.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Apr 12 2026

Blind album and artist. Some tracks were definitely more interesting than others. Just wish it could've had that the whole time and it would have been a definitive 4.

I See You by The xx
Apr 14 2026

Blind album, liked the debut album more for sure. This felt off like unsalted chicken compared to the delicious dish I had from the 1st album. 2

Forever Changes by Love
Apr 15 2026

Blind album and artist. I thought it was interesting with the instrumental variety but nothing stood out aside from that and it couldnt carry the album. Some tracks were cool and some lagged.

Nixon by Lambchop
Apr 16 2026

Blind album and artist. Snoozefest until the final track and honestly would've been okay without hearing this I think. 2

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Apr 17 2026

Monumental commercial industrial metal album. I enjoyed it more than I thought actually on an unbiased listen. 4.

New Forms by Roni Size
Apr 20 2026

Blind album and artist. Im shocked to even say I like some of these hooks even though im not a huge drum n bass fan. Something piqued my interest in brown paper bag....

Kimono My House by Sparks
Apr 21 2026

Blind album and artist. I feel that this album wants to be a 5 so bad, but there are small pieces of this album that feel like my hair is going against the flow, or like petting a cat in the wrong direction. Can't give it more than a 3 unfortunately but it does sound great.

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Apr 22 2026

Blind album and artist. I thought it was actually pretty good! Gave me Jefferson Airplane x Beatles vibe for sure, but more Sgt Peppers Beatles than Abbey Road with all the weird instrumentals and I thought it was interesting. 4

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Apr 23 2026

Blind album and know the artist by name. Another artist I can check off the list that I told myself I'd eventually listen to. That time has come and I thoroughly enjoyed this beginning to end. Not the best but really really cool and interesting. 4.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Apr 24 2026

Blind album and artist. Some parts were definitely cool, especially the opening track, but the rest wasnt phenomenal or anything outstanding so I'll have to give it a 3.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Apr 25 2026

My favorite aerosmith album. Pre 90s comeback is classic, but the band is clearly a huge hit to the world. Best selling American rock band.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Apr 26 2026

Blind album and artist. Generic 80s that was okay I guess. I liked the opening track.

Pump by Aerosmith
Apr 27 2026

That time in history when Aerosnith casually dropped some massive bangers and blew up again after some less popular albums in the 80s. I think it was the drugs. Comeback incomparable to many other artists.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Apr 28 2026

Blind album, thank you list for the opportunity to finally listen to this. Wasn't as great as I thought but still good overall. 4.

Mask by Bauhaus
Apr 29 2026

Blind album and artist. Definitely not something I would find on my own, but likes the echo-like sounds and style. 3.

Suicide by Suicide
Apr 30 2026

I actually know the artist by blind album. I know the artist from my comment radio station and found their album A Way of Life. Hearing this album makes me wish I committed their band name as my way of life. 1.

May 01 2026

I dont live under a rock so I am fully aware of this album. The hits are very strong, but the back half of this album doesn't hit as hard. Strong 4.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
May 02 2026

Blind album, hate bitter sweet symphony honestly but this album was decent.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
May 04 2026

Well known album but did you know this album released the same day as Nirvana's Nevermind and RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magik?

Atomizer by Big Black
May 05 2026

Blind album and artist. I feel like this recording a cut was really rough on the edges and hurt to listen to at times. I understand that this is industrial noise Rock but at least try to make it sound better.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 06 2026

Blind album, know the artist. Too Rye Ay was way better. This was not as fun. 2.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
May 07 2026

I want to like this album so bad, but I just can't give it a 5. It is just not that significant to me and I wish I liked this band more than I do, but I won't lie to myself or anyone that gives me that gasp face. 4.

May 08 2026

Blind album and artist. This album was so dumb I swear I could gave Fallen asleep while driving on my commute. Maybe David Byrne shouldn't have left his band and done solo work. 1.

The Yes Album by Yes
May 09 2026

Blind album, this is exactly what I thought Yes would be and it is a great album for prog lovers.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
May 10 2026

Blind album and artist. Honestly a great listen towards the end. Would recommend it to those looking to try new different things. Still a 3 though.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
May 11 2026

Blind album and artist. This album drags as a whole. Uninterested, bland in some ways. Lackluster. But not the worst I have heard.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
May 12 2026

Blind album, I know the artist by name. I was intrigued throughout, but not enough to actually feel the music per se. It was just there and it was alright. 3.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
May 13 2026

Blind album and artist. I really dont think i was in the mood for this but I tried to listen to it with an open mind. 2.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
May 14 2026

Blind album and artist. 90s alt rock britpop? I kinda liked it and would consider listening to this band again. I feel like that keeps happening with a lot of these random britpop bands. 4

May 15 2026

Blind album and artist. I feel like I'm trying to escape the matrix, but instead of it bring an oppressive human battery regime, its more mellow like a fun drug den where everyone gets high and we all coast through life Mellow and chill. 3

Leftism by Leftfield
May 17 2026

Blind album and artist. I think this albums constant beat gave me a headache.

D by White Denim
May 19 2026

Blind album and artist. Some little gems within but not enough to carry the album. 3

B-52's by The B-52's
May 20 2026

Blind album, finally listening to this and I TOTALLY get it. So many catchy hooks, its honestly crazy. On first listen, I will need to give this a 4, but this may be one of those albums I go back to before I even know it.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
May 21 2026

Blind album and artist. Cool instrumentals but not really my typical flow for rap or style. 3.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
May 22 2026

Blind album, know the artist by name from another album. I liked this album way more than What's Going On. Gives me Stevie vibes a little bit but some synth flair and good sprinkles throughout. 3 though as some tracks lacked.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
May 23 2026

Blind album and artist. I feel like this album gave me whiplash between some songs and others just because some was jarring and some was good. 3.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
May 24 2026

Blind album and artist. I thought this album as a whole was super intriguing and interesting how it felt like a soundtrack but not. 4.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
May 25 2026

Blind album and artist. Cornerstone of outlaw country? Southern Rock? Never thought I would enjoy this, but i very much do. Not my favorite by far but its got me nodding along to the heavy beats and feel.

Bad Company by Bad Company
May 27 2026

Bad Company by Bad Company from Bad Company. 4.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
May 28 2026

Blind album, know the artist. Pleasantly surprised by this whole album and its flair and glam. 4.

Melodrama by Lorde
May 29 2026

Blind album, know the artist. Never really cared for Lorde's work and this isn't an exception to that. But TIL shes from New Zealand. 3

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 01 2026

Had the pleasure to see this band live opening for NIN on their Cold, Black, and Infinite Tour. They are good, but better live. 3.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jun 02 2026

Blind album and artist. Honestly this album did not bring joy but did not make me wanna skip songs or anything. Generally a sign of a 3 for me.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jun 03 2026

Blind album and artist. What a treat of an album. Beautifully put together, flow was great from track to track, loved the intro/skit lead in, bluesy folk style is always a great style, but the energy brought and the consistency across the whole album makes me feel like this album deserves to be higher. This doesnt blow my brain per se, but this is better than most. 4.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jun 04 2026

I was given this record by a stranger on a reddit gift exchange, and it was my first whole album I listened to of Bob Dylan. Great choice by them and while I do feel the album is great, it's not always for me. But the album is very well rounded and any track will do nicely. 4.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jun 05 2026

Blind album and artist. Thoroughly impressed from song to song but generally I would not go out of my way to listen to this often. 4.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jun 06 2026

I wish I could give this a 5 so much but I just can't. This album pales to the others. I wish I could put my finger on why, but this is probably my least listened to Pixies album.

Jun 08 2026

The springboard essential for east coast hip hop. Absolute classic. TIL the album was named after 2 martial arts films.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jun 11 2026

Blind album, know the artist by name. Some songs give me captain beefheart vibes but more modern and polished, but gritter vocals too. And then theres nore singer/songwriter style, with folk, it blends all very well. I surprisingly liked this and some hooks are insanely catchy. TIL Keith Richards and Les Claypool (favorite bassist) are both featured on this album. 4.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jun 12 2026

The most popular Wings album in my opinion. Not one to sleep on. I was never a huge Beatles or Paul or Wings fan, but always worthy of a listen. 4.

Tago Mago by Can
Jun 15 2026

Blind album and artist. This album was great until Aumgn, and i dont even know what i am listening to. Otherwise it was good and some tracks i was jamming to.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jun 16 2026

Blind album and artist. Not sure if I'll ever enjoy this album as a whole bunch 1 or 2 faster more rock like tracks sound okay.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Jun 17 2026

Blind album and artist. Honestly this album flip flopped on me but somehow landed on a surprising 4? Maybe it was the glam style as the album closed. Loved the saxaphone and other instruments.

Jun 18 2026

I try so hard to like Aphex Twin, especially this album, and it never clicks. You know what does click? Windowlicker, Come to Daddy, and all of Drukqs. Literally all of those 3 EP/Albums, but not this. I owned the Drukqs vinyl box set, and sold it because of that awkward box size never fitting anywhere, but thats how much I liked it, and yet I cannot ever get myself to enjoy this. 2.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jun 19 2026

Blind album, know the artist. Blissfully smooth for sure, but not jaw dropping for me. 3.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jun 21 2026

Blind album and artist. Production was good and beats were cool to try, just not for me.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 23 2026

Blind album, know the artist from another album on the project. I loved the feel of this album way more than the other though. Classic punk instruments, no electronic, seemed more on par. 4.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jun 24 2026

Blind album and artist. Slow. No, I will nit get behind you Scott. 2.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 25 2026

Blind album, know the artist. I think I hate this because I dont get it. I really dont care for generic dance pop from the 90s that is made up of artists from the 80s trying to stay relevant. Why was this popular? Why is this considered good? I understand she did a lot in the 80s and her hits then are still relevant, but i have never EVER wanted to listen to her and her later work and after this I don't think I will. 2 at best, not repulsive just confused. Rant over. I hope Lourdes isn't bullied for her name and I hope Madonna's yoga did more than make this confusing dumb generic electronic dance pop.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jun 26 2026

Blind album and artist. I'd rather listen to the music that inspired this album, than this album. I just can't not roll my eyes when each track started, right at the start i knee what it was gonna be and I knee i wouldn't enjoy it. 2.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jun 27 2026

Blind album and artist. Genuinely enjoyed the listen. Dont understand all the hate honestly.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Jun 30 2026

Blind album and artist. What a listen of something unique and quirky thats somehow got a tone and rhythm you can't get outta your head. Whatever this list of from thr wire of "100 albums that set the world on fire..." is, im gonna have to check it out after the project. 4.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jul 01 2026

Blind album and artist. I liked some of the less punk-like songs. More alternative or post punk more than punk tracks.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Jul 02 2026

Blind album and artist. Honestly this album dragged and was uninteresting between meh vocals and styles and instrumentals. Got old fast. 1.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jul 05 2026

Blind album and artist. I loved the layered vocals and the softer guitar parts waning in and out throughout the whole album. Biggest hit was the opener but the high remarks stayed their welcome throughout

The Stooges by The Stooges
Jul 07 2026

Blind album, know the artist from another album on the project. Pretty good! I like the raw style and rough effects, and the chord progressions.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Jul 08 2026

Blind album, know the artist. Generic funk soul to me. Nothing caught my attention aside from the start. Slow fizzle.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 09 2026

Blind album, another echo album. I think this is #2 or 3. But this is getting a 2 cause I am getting sick of them at this point. Dont get it at all.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jul 10 2026

Blind album and artist. I cannot stand this at all. I was so glad the album ended. He's a talented musician with a beautiful low vocal range, but i would've rather had an album with just the background singers. Its like his voice and theirs created an uncanny valley too wide for me and it was offputting. For example, I love pizza. Its got everything that you like, but this dudes voice is the anchovies on the pizza and I do not want god damn fish on my pizza. Ruined. 1.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jul 12 2026

Blind album and artist. Funky jazzy cool 😎 feel bad this album got his wife killed by the government, but this dude also had 27 wives... idk...

#1 Record by Big Star
Jul 14 2026

Blind album, coworker recommend the band. Good stuff! Cool classic rock vibe but something new I can't quite out my finger on.

All Directions by The Temptations
Jul 15 2026

Blind album, know the artist. Funk soul album is not what I expected for some reason but I thought it was well done. 3.

Jul 16 2026

Blind album, probably the peak of pre-Phil Genesis. Probably wouldn't listen to again but this is one of those things that I am really glad I tried and appreciate the project for. 3.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 17 2026

Finally trying out Neil Young. Blind album though. Thought it was okay, but dang the CLOSING TRACK! So good. 3.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Jul 18 2026

Blind album, walked out on the artist when I saw them live after Weezer at DC101 Kerfuffle. Would walk out again, but this album is still like a 2.

Close To You by Carpenters
Jul 20 2026

Blind album and artist. Actually cool chill soft rock that i liked a few tracks very much so, but the album had some lull.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Jul 21 2026

Blind album and artist. Its like if the Beatles took their normal amount of psychadelics in the form of shrooms, but they were not washed, muddy, and eaten raw from the ground. Dirty and gross, but will still get you high. 3.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jul 24 2026

Blind album, know the artist and the hits. Honestly didnt expect much and expectations were met. Glad I tried it thanks to the project.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jul 26 2026

Blind album, know the artist from another project. Were my ears tripping?

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Jul 27 2026

Blind album and artist. What a whopping 5. Instant slam of energy unmatched and untamed raw performance. Beautifully exciting. Too bad the dude did some weird stuff with his marriage, here for the music though.

Jul 28 2026

Shocked this album is on here, but then again I dont know a single person of my generation who doesn't know 1 song from it. Hits are hits for a reason, greats singles, but the back half lags. 4.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 29 2026

Blind album, know the artist. Pretty much what I expected. Was never a huge fan of the group but respect the work they do. 3

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Jul 30 2026

Blind album, I loved the transitions between each song honestly, thought it was very cool. But Shining Star was a clear hit, but after hearing this, I wanna check out Questloves documentary on the band.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jul 31 2026

Blind album, know the hit. Another album where the hit was a hit cause the rest of the album id meh. Honestly don't know what I expected but at the same time expecting were met? 3.

Revolver by Beatles
Aug 03 2026

Finally listening to this album. Short but good. Exactly what I expected from the Beatles and they are a great band but I dont think i can give it a 5.

Aug 04 2026

Blind album, honestly for some reason I didnt expect much, but i expected Yes as well, and they met that expectation, so nothing much said honestly. 3

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Aug 05 2026

Blind album and artist. Big fan of the longer tracks honestly. I hear the math emo style clear as day, and it didnt phase me actually. Hooked me better than I thought it would. 4.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Aug 06 2026

Blind album, and honestly couldve gone my whole life without listening to this and been okay. Had 0 interest, now have negative interest. Shes got a voice but the music diminishes it emensely and she chose this for her style and brand. Credit where credit is due. But at some points honestly, i cant tell if i want her to shut up or the crap trap to stop. Interesting for the music video piece and maybe I will watch 1 or 2 cause I feel like thats meant to be a part of this music experience, but last I checked, you shouldn't need a video to appreciate and compliment music. It should be able to stand out on its own.... 1.

Aug 07 2026

I remember when this album came out and a ton of people listened to it, or at least the opening track. The opening track slaps, the rest of the aobum is meh. That opening track is why I bought this on CD so many years ago. TIL the group is scottish.

Aug 09 2026

This is the album I always recommend for fans of Arctic Monkeys. Hands down. AM is great but this is the album that started it all, the core of the band.
