Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise

This type of British electronic synth garbage is way over-represented on this list. Most of the tracks on this piece of shit album are just random noises. An hour I'd love to have back to listen to something worthwhile.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Sep 23 2023

Very strange album, not really to my taste. I don't really get it

Sep 26 2023

damn, this is much better than I expected. A couple of real bangers - and I generally don't like hip-hop.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Sep 28 2023

Trip down memory lane - I bought this album when it came out, listened for about a year, then moved on and never really listened again until now. Songs are better than I remembered, though I'm still not crazy about nu-metal. Cure for the Itch doesn't really fit the rest of the album

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 30 2023

Excellent album. Nice swampy-bluesy sound. I recognized many of the songs as radio hits, and the ones which were new to me were also fantastic.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Oct 01 2023

Nothing super interesting - I found this album to be bland and generic. Most of them dragged on far too long, as did the entire album.

Oct 05 2023

Too many christian themes for my taste, though the music itself was pretty good.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Oct 07 2023

Entertaining enough to listen to. Good rhythm guitar work. Didn't recognize any of the songs.

Oct 08 2023

This one really surprised me! I'd heard of Arctic Monkeys, but never really gave them a serious listen. The instruments and lyrics were fun to listen to.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Oct 09 2023
Nixon by Lambchop
Oct 12 2023

What a boring album. Very dull, no real excitement in any of the songs.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Oct 13 2023

Solid classic rock.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Oct 14 2023

Pretty good. Dragged on towards the end, especially murder mystery which didn't seem to fit.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Oct 17 2023

The funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk. Was a fun listen, but the songs all seemed to be about the subject of funk itself, with no other content. They weren't really about anything other than funk itself, how funky the band perceive itself to be, and how they are delivering funk to the audience. Still, it was enjoyable enough to listen to, and I'd relisten if the mood struck.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Oct 19 2023

Fun intro to hardcore punk. Short and two the point, a great quick listen.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Oct 20 2023

Terrible. Dislike the lyrics, melodies, instrumentation, and the voices of the vocalists. No redeeming qualities at all.

Oct 21 2023

Very good album - lots of recognizable hits, but the whole album is solid. Good dynamic between heavier and softer songs, good songwritting, and just well done overall. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Oct 25 2023

One of the albums which got me into metal. I had forgotten how amazing and perfect it is.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Oct 27 2023

This type of British electronic synth garbage is way over-represented on this list. Most of the tracks on this piece of shit album are just random noises. An hour I'd love to have back to listen to something worthwhile.

The Score by Fugees
Oct 30 2023

Enjoyed it, but found the little "skits" they did at the end of each song to be kind of stupid.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Oct 31 2023

Generic playing, and sounded like he was getting some buzzes on his guitar in several of the songs. Didn't love it.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Nov 01 2023
Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Nov 03 2023

Didn't enjoy this - couldn't tell what language they were siniging in, and all of the songs were overly surreal sounding and dreamy for my taste. That said, the songs were actually songs and were musical, which ranks this album far higher than many of the albums in this list. Some of which are just random assortments of noises.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Nov 04 2023
Play by Moby
Nov 11 2023
Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Nov 13 2023

More electronic stuff I have no interest in. There were actually melodies and chord changes, so ranks slightly higher than the rest of this genre.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Nov 16 2023

More electronic stuff. Not too interested in this genre, but this album was acceptable as background noise while working. Meh.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Nov 17 2023

Some good classic rock riffs and grooves in this album. Lyrics are a little bit ridiculous for most songs (as if Steel Panther released an album in the 70s), but rock shouldn't take itself too seriously. I enjoyed listening to this one.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Nov 18 2023

Solid rocker with some real bangers.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Mar 24 2024

Excellent album. This one, Killers, and Number of the Beast are all perfect.
