Transformer by Lou Reed
Oct 06 2023

Like a 2/5. Walk on the Wild side and Vicious does a lot of heavy lifting. He just isn't a good singer

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Oct 07 2023

Pretty good, has that influenced by the beetles sound. 3.5/10

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Oct 09 2023

5/5 great album with kick ass beats. It's a little long. But fantastic.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Oct 10 2023

Not a Bowie fan :(

Blur by Blur
Oct 11 2023

Stop giving me absolute mid euro rock. Song 2 is just ok. The rest I literally skipped through.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Oct 12 2023

Much better than I thought it was going to be. Feels like the progenitor of the RAMONES

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Oct 13 2023

Much much better than I expected. Saved a couple of songs off it. Didn't explore the French side.

American Idiot by Green Day
Oct 14 2023

One of my favorite albums, hit me when I was still a kid. Great on a re-listen.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 15 2023

The music would be good, until the singer starts on all these tracks. I get why it's an important album. I'm literally never listening to it again.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Oct 16 2023

My wife loves Van Morrison. Hates his live stuff because he elongates every song and mumbles through the entire song. It was fine.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Oct 17 2023

It's a great album. When I told my wife I got this one, she mentioned that a bunch of the songs sound the same. She wasn't wrong. That knocks it from a 5/5

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 19 2023

Great album. So so so good. Much better than the last live van Morrison album

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Oct 23 2023

Not that great

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Oct 24 2023

The album and lyrics are good, but it's in the Bob Dylan zone where I'm not sure Willie is a good singer.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Oct 25 2023

Great album! So many songs I was unsure if they wrote them, or covered them. Some songs a little to long.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Oct 26 2023

It felt like one, very long, song.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 27 2023

Much better than the other one I listened to by them. Its cool because, a lot of the instrumental reminds me of current rock/indie. Was a fun listen, but the lead vocals are trash at times

Tommy by The Who
Oct 28 2023

Eh, it was long winded and faded into the background of what I was doing.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Oct 30 2023

It didnfall into that normal problem with funk, where the songs kinda blend together and have a 30 second intro and 45 second outro.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 31 2023

I liked it more than I thought I would. Listened to the front half, liked the energy of it.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Nov 01 2023

I liked it more than I thought I would. Listened to the front half, liked the energy of it.

The Doors by The Doors
Nov 02 2023

Good, but some songs are to long and, like, self absorbed?

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Nov 03 2023

Almost a true 5/5 some of the songs stick with you, some are just to self-involved. I'll listen to thos album again in the future.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 05 2023

Difficult to understand what the main singer is saying. Come on Eileen is still a banger. Would be 2/5 if not for that song

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 06 2023

It's pretty good. Like, it's a 3.75, but not a 4

Sea Change by Beck
Nov 07 2023

Eh, shortish and chill. Barely fine.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Nov 10 2023

Yeah, I'll join the club in not getting this album

Low by David Bowie
Nov 11 2023

A pretty good listen.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Nov 12 2023

Great singer. All the songs sound very similair

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Nov 13 2023

Actually like, pretty good. Color me surprised. An easy listen in a good way.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Nov 14 2023

Such. A. Great. Album. We aren't talking about Stevie Wonder enough. Loved almost every track. Stayed a little long, still easily 5 stars.

Risque by CHIC
Nov 15 2023

It's really not my style. All the songs are soooooooo long.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Nov 16 2023

Picture in your head, what does a French music album sound like? It's this. This is the album.

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 18 2023

One of my favorite bands/albums of all time <3

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Nov 21 2023

Good album! Especially for his first. Some songs are forgettable. 3.5/5

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Nov 22 2023

It was all right. Not my cup of tea.

Cross by Justice
Nov 23 2023

Always liked this album. The one sticking point is, I don't love their use of static in some of the songs, otherwise it would be a 5/5.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Nov 24 2023

I get it, but now for me

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Nov 25 2023

Has some great songs on it. Otherwise forgettable

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Nov 27 2023

The songs sound pretty similar, but it's a good first album

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Nov 28 2023
Tical by Method Man
Nov 29 2023
Elephant by The White Stripes
Nov 30 2023
Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Dec 07 2024

The first four tracks are the most famous and really showcase what to expect. I'd call this "boombox rap", it's made to be played loud for everyone to hear. Not a big fan of the type of the rap flavor, feels like I'm constantly being yelled at lol

Abraxas by Santana
Dec 10 2024

Good, but not for me

Forever Changes by Love
Dec 11 2024

Americans trying to be the Beatles. Not bad, but not something I liked

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Dec 12 2024

Good enough. Some tracks were great, some faltered

Medúlla by Björk
Dec 13 2024

Not for me

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 14 2024

I get it, but a bit to much

Connected by Stereo MC's
Dec 18 2024

Mid, don't know why it's hear except historical context

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Dec 19 2024

I liked it a lot! Didn't know Rod Stewart sounded like this

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 20 2024

Q lot of the songs felt exactly the same. Also very aggressive and horny at times. Still some bangers on here though

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Dec 21 2024

Honestly, it's not that great. Feels like at the moment. She was a "breath of fresh air", but listening now there's a bunch of better artists that I'd rather listen too.

Dec 23 2024

I appreciate this guy having UK roots, but this album only serves to show where Punk has come from. And it's roots aren't great. Never sniffs the Clash once

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Dec 24 2024

I wanted to like this so much more than I did. Indie noise at best

Dec 28 2024

Kind of insane all these hits came from this album. That being said, every song is a minute and a half to long

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jan 02 2025

I didn't like the first two songs The rest were good

Play by Moby
Jan 04 2025

It was good, but felt very samey

Jan 05 2025

Kenza by Khaled
Jan 08 2025

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jan 09 2025

I get it, but not for me

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 13 2025

Incredibly 80s, not for me, but good enough

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jan 19 2025

Apparently this guy sucks in real life

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jan 23 2025

Mid brit pop. With that 80s mystique for the singer where they don't really sing, but melodically moan into the mic

Bossanova by Pixies
Feb 01 2025

A good precursor on what's to come in punk. Listen past the first song 100%

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Feb 09 2025

This is probably sacrilege, but it's a little long...

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Feb 11 2025

It's Jazz. Good jazz but just jazz. Not my flavor

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 12 2025

It's international.music. like I get it, but not for me.

May 05 2025

In a previous life, I could see myself jamming to this on like, a record player. Not this life though.

Rio by Duran Duran
May 08 2025
Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
May 09 2025

Again, just get why it's probably important. But it's not very good

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 17 2025
Smash by The Offspring
May 24 2025

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
May 28 2025

Roots by Sepultura
Jun 12 2025

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 20 2025
The White Room by The KLF
Jun 25 2025

Like, it's elevator music with 80s breath songing

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jul 07 2025

I do not like Frank Zappa as a singer on a lot of these tracks

1999 by Prince
Jul 19 2025

I'm just not a fan of prince

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jul 20 2025

I believe in a thing called love is a banger. But the singers voice gets so grating on the other tracks

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Jul 21 2025
Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Some absolute bangers, but some are just bad. Uneven album thats closer to 4 than 3

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jul 25 2025

I didn't give it a great listen. But nothing caught me in this album as important

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Aug 03 2025
Grace by Jeff Buckley

Sep 22 2025

Short, but great. You can tell who he has influenced

Being There by Wilco
Sep 26 2025

Honestly, pretty great

Sep 27 2025

Some great breakout songs, but eventually I just get tired of the Kurt Cobain groaning.

Music by Madonna
