I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen

This fucking sucked.

Surprisingly liked this. Waay more than I was expecting.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 06 2023

Not bad, but not my vibe. There's better S&G albums imo. Maybe if I gave it a few more listens it'd've stuck, but yeah... Just felt whatever on it.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Oct 09 2023

Haven't listened to it in years, so it was kinda fun going back to it. Each track felt a bit too similar, but overall the album is solid.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Oct 10 2023

This was a fun one. I've heard most of these songs before, but never together in the context of the full album. Loved it.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 11 2023

Always love hearing my hometown getting bashed in a Johnny Cash song.

Garbage by Garbage
Oct 13 2023

In the context of albums to listen to before you die, this one just doesn't hold up at being significant enough to count. Decent generic 90s rock otherwise.

Homework by Daft Punk
Oct 16 2023

Yes, this is 100% an album you must listen to before you die. Love Daft Punk, so this one is always a treat.

Full of random songs I've heard before, but never listened to the album. Turns out it's amazing & there's a reason it's always being brought up & mentioned. Albums like this is what's making me really enjoy this challenge.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Oct 18 2023

Not a bad album really. I just was super into the last album I got on here & this one was a bit of a tone shift from the last. Wasn't in the mood, but I get why it made the list. Could easily be a 4/5 on a different day.

Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 20 2023

Easily one of the best albums of all time.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Oct 23 2023

Would've been a 5 till it got to 10 minutes of him talking lol Great album, just the long extended story at the start of the last track throws the whole thing off.

Synchronicity by The Police
Oct 24 2023

Pretty fun surprise, didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as I did.

Doolittle by Pixies
Oct 26 2023

Didn't really care for it. Like a few Pixies tracks, but wasn't really feeling it as an album.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Oct 27 2023

Not a bad album actually. But bad timing for nothing but love songs lol

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Nov 01 2023

Cool album, really dig the psychedelic sound, but I'm not on nearly enough acid to fully enjoy it.

Protection by Massive Attack
Nov 02 2023

Massive Attack is great, haven't listened to this one in forever.

Boston by Boston
Nov 03 2023

I've heard all of these songs probably hundreds of times, but never in this order.

Guero by Beck
Nov 07 2023

Aw hell yeah! Got back into this album recently after seeing Beck live. Solid fun album.

Nov 09 2023

Pretty cheesy album, but after another listen through, it does have some pretty good messages in it.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Nov 10 2023

I was actually in the mood for reggae, but this album just kinda fell flat to me.

Cross by Justice
Nov 13 2023

Fuck yeah!

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Nov 15 2023

Probably my favorite soad album

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Nov 16 2023

The best Beatle put out a solo album. Not surprised by the results.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Nov 17 2023

Although I don't understand everything they are saying, the vocals still speak to my soul. Damn this was good.

Nov 20 2023

Music for sad dads, of which I am neither. 3 for now, but I feel like that could go up after multiple listens.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 21 2023

Eh it was OK. Had a few good stand-out tracks.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Nov 23 2023

Felt like I've been put on hold for an hour.

One World by John Martyn
Nov 24 2023

Had some moments, but just couldn't hold on to them.

Different Class by Pulp
Nov 27 2023

Enjoyed it, kinda reminded me of something else... Just can't recall...

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Nov 28 2023

Easily one of the greatest albums of all time.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Nov 29 2023

Left feeling empowered. Bitches better stay away from my man. Jokes aside, fun album.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Nov 30 2023

Fun fun fun on the autobahn.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Dec 01 2023

Not exactly what I was expecting, but Schools Out is still the best track on the album. Seems kinda soft, mello, & easy going for a shock rock musician. Grande Finale is good too..

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Dec 05 2023

Easily one of the best albums of all time.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Dec 07 2023

Dreaming of Stevie Wonder now too

Bad by Michael Jackson
Dec 08 2023

King of Pop with some killer tracks.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 11 2023

This shit slaps. Much better than the other Yeah Yeah Yeahs album I got. I'm sure if I kept listening to it, it'd get a 5. Either way, it's getting saved for future listens.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Dec 13 2023

Oh snap, an all time favorite!

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 14 2023

Got better with multiple listens, but still mostly prefer the singles I'd already heard.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Dec 15 2023

Relaxing, mellow, chill vibes for my work day. Might have been a 4 if you take out Parade (A Banda). Kinda ruins the flow each time it came on.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Dec 19 2023

Nice, but not really my thing. Maybe on a different day I'd rate higher...

Dec 21 2023

Low 3. Kinda liked bits of it, but always felt lacking. No stand out tracks imo

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jan 10 2024

Great, influential album from an underrated band.

Wild Gift by X
Jan 11 2024

Fun, easy-going, old-school, punk sound without any songs I actually enjoyed.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jan 12 2024

Oh it's The Exorcists theme... Oh it's actually pretty tight! 1st bit is obviously familiar, then goes off to become much more than just the spooky theme we all know.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jan 16 2024

Decent punk

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 17 2024

Really only 3-4 good songs on this one & it's the main songs you've heard.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jan 18 2024

Had a few solid moments, just had trouble really getting into the album as a whole.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Jan 19 2024

Smooth & mellow & kinda sat in the background like elevator music.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jan 22 2024

This was a nice album to revisit. Nice collection of songs with a few fun psychedelic freak out moments.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 23 2024

Jail Break & Boys are Back in Town are bangers.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 25 2024

1st track: I hate it. 2nd: omg make it stop. 3rd: OK this is a jam. Rest of album: back to being awful. Sorry, the 1 track doesn't save you from 1 star.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 29 2024

Jibbity boo bop. Skibbity itty itty. Antony Keidis just throws out nonsensical lyrics. Funk & fun, but also catchy. Got some killer tracks & got some filla. Boobity boo bah, rigga rigga rilla!

Jan 30 2024

Always liked their radio hits. Turns out everything else is just as good.

Electric by The Cult
Jan 31 2024

Rockin album, not bad at all

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Feb 01 2024

Tight electronic album.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Feb 02 2024

A few things I recognized that I never realized was Wings. Great album overall, which is completely expected from Paul.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 05 2024

Mellow, calming, chill. Ella Fitzgerald has an amazing voice & the big band instrumentation is nice.

Moon Safari by Air
Feb 06 2024

I love everything from this band. This album in particular is a straight up masterpiece.

Feb 19 2024

Great discovery, really enjoyed this one. Each song is solid, diverse, & stands on its own.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Feb 20 2024

Surprisingly fast album. Really only cared for Shining Star. Everything else felt like cheesy 70s sitcom music.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Feb 21 2024

Has a few nice musical moments, but I absolutely hate the singers voice.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Feb 22 2024

I hate it. Somehow made it through the whole album... It's pure garbage.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Feb 23 2024

Beastie Boys showing off how diverse of a musical space they can occupy. & it all works. Solid album start to finish.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Feb 26 2024

Biased since I don't normally like nor listen to country, but Willie makes it bearable. He's a living legend for a reason. These tracks are nice, mellow, & easy to listen to.

S&M by Metallica
Feb 27 2024

Epic & huge. Metallic at their best, in one of the greatest live albums.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Feb 29 2024

Started off with some bangers, but grew disinterested as the album went on.

Mar 01 2024

Hyped to get Liars! Bummed that this is their only album on this list. Either way, super fun, weird, creative, experimental album. Love their work!

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Mar 04 2024

A nice surprise, great song writing, & an enjoyable listen.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Mar 06 2024

Really enjoyed the last Willie album I got, but I'm honestly not feeling a cover album.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Mar 07 2024

Dang, I was expecting to hate this. All killer!

The Band by The Band
Mar 08 2024

The only Band that can live up to the name 'THE BAND.'

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 11 2024

One of the most influential indie rock albums of all time.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 12 2024

Coldplay was knocking out indie bangers before selling out for pop success.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Mar 13 2024

Fun album to get for this, but only really enjoyed a few of the tracks. Personally feeling pretty meh over it.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Mar 14 2024

An explosion of blues-like sounds, only hints of it sounded good. Within the realm of stuff I like, weird, funky, out-there, & creative. Just none of it really came together to make it a listen I'd actually enjoy. 32 tracks... This was a rough listen. Would have rated it much higher if it was trimmed down to a few main tracks, & fleshed out a bit more. The slog had me slowly hating it more & more.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Mar 15 2024

Not bad, really good mixing, & made for an enjoyable few listens.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 19 2024

More than just the Shrek song.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Mar 20 2024

Bland. I guess I'm not a fan of Wilco... 2nd album I've gotten with them & just not feeling it.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Mar 21 2024

Amazing album from an amazing artist.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Mar 22 2024

Classic late 60s psych rock. The highs were high, but the lows had me waiting for the next track.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Mar 26 2024

Love how his inspirations for this album are some of my all time favorites. What an amazing album to go out on. RIP to such an influential artist.

Infected by The The
Mar 27 2024

Not bad, but a lot of the instruments used are painfully 80s in sound. Makes the album feel extremely dated.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Mar 29 2024

Made for a nice relaxing listen. Solid mix African & Blues styles.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 01 2024

Sounds like America.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Apr 02 2024

Remembered enjoying the Rock and Roll Circus back in the day, but never listened to any Stones since. Wasn't really feeling this album. It's not technically bad, just didn't resonate with me. Has a few nice moments though.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Apr 03 2024

Amazing album. Excited to see it come up on this list, I've been needing a re-listen.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Apr 04 2024

I hate Ska. Even the non-Ska songs just annoyed the hell out of me.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Apr 08 2024

Had a buddy learning bass guitar ruin Blister in the Sun for me. The rest of the album isn't too bad, just nothing much that stands out imo.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Apr 09 2024

Practically a Wu Tang album. & Wu Tang is forever.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Apr 10 2024

Hadn't listened to this one in a while, but a bit more of a fan of their other work.

Apr 11 2024

Fun surprise of an album. Constantly different, with some mellow grooves.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Apr 12 2024

I either absolutely love the song, or just kinda felt whatever. Not a Country fan, but she's got some amazing songs.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 15 2024

It was pretty alright.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Apr 17 2024

It's the Beatles. Funny, my previous album had Cash's cover of In My Life on it.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Apr 22 2024

Not really bad, just wasn't personally feeling it. If you're a fan of Latin music, I'm sure it's great.

21 by Adele
Apr 23 2024

Ugh. Just gave me flashbacks to working retail, stuck listening to top 40, & not able to change the station.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Apr 24 2024

King of Pop has a few absolute bangers on this one, but also a few tracks that aren't really too great. Ends up being pretty in the middle of the road overall.

Destroyer by KISS
Apr 25 2024

Most overrated band of all time. Kiss is like a parody of a hard rock band, but not being hard, rock, or good, but still serious...

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Apr 26 2024

High-school me probably would've loved this the when it came out.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Apr 29 2024

Pretty good album with some great sample based production.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 30 2024

Mellow, chill, got a few nice grooves & tunes. Felt like inoffensive background music.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
May 01 2024

Amazing song writer, with a pretty annoying singing voice. The weird thing is that his voice grows on you as the album goes on.

May 02 2024

Just feels kinda cheesy 80s music with groan-worthy edgy lyrics. Morrissey is a dick & all, but separating the artist from the art, his vocals still suck. A few decent melodies can't save this.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
May 06 2024

Amazing singing voice, but the album starts to sound too samey.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 07 2024

Least favorite album from one of my favorite bands. Haven't listened to it in years & it's much better than I originally remembered. Aged pretty well imo

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
May 08 2024

Uniquely different, creative, & definitely not my thing.

Real Life by Magazine
May 09 2024

Started to kinda like it, then started to not like it. Their sound starts to get old after a bit.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 10 2024

It's OK, not a huge fan of the New Wave sounding vocals. But The Killing Moon is a classic, so that was nice to hear.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
May 13 2024

This is a complete slog to get through. It's got some really good jazz, but an hour & a half more than I care to listen, plus you've got to put up with him talking inbetween every song... Ugh, I'm sure it was an amazing live show to be at, but as a live album, it just became a tough listen.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
May 14 2024

This daily challenge has made me a David Bowie fan, but this one doesn't feel like it's as much of a standout as his other albums. Gets better on re-listen, still good, but if I hadn't've already enjoyed his other stuff, I probably would've rated this a little lower.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
May 16 2024

Pretty damn good. Some songs kinda lag on, but there's a few bangers on here. Great voice, great song writing.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
May 17 2024

Not my go to MBV album, only really listened to it once before, but really enjoyed it this time around. 1st few songs start off slow, but I get completely lost in the dreamy thick distorted soundscapes as the album continues.

American Idiot by Green Day
May 21 2024

Absolutely hated this album when it 1st came out. Still super tired of hearing the main singles from it, but really the rest of the album is pretty great. The rock opera really works out in it's favor.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
May 23 2024

Fun & funky, with a few classics. Good, just not something I could listen to often.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
May 24 2024

One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
May 27 2024

This album is ridiculously ahead of its time. Completely timeless. An absolute masterpiece.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
May 28 2024

I enjoyed it for the most part. But I probably won't be coming back to it in the future.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
May 29 2024

I think it was OK... I'm sure if I gave it another listen I might've gotten into it more & rated it higher.

Dust by Screaming Trees
May 30 2024

Dang, all of these are bops. Super solid 90s rock.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
May 31 2024

Sounds like generic 90s pop rock, so definitely ahead of its time for coming out in the late 70s.

Eagles by Eagles
Jun 03 2024

C'mon, man. I had a rough night & I fuckin' hate the Eagles, man!

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jun 04 2024

Pretty good, full of bops.

Jun 05 2024

This album is practically the soundtrack to a specific part of my life. It's a bit of a bummer the band thought of it as their sellout album. Absolutely love it, even the more out there tracks.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jun 06 2024

Not really my thing.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Jun 07 2024

Rough, raw, & emotional, but loses me feeling too trapped in the 90s. Has a few nice moments, but none of the tracks really hook me.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Jun 10 2024

Rad & rockin. The track Number of the Beast is still the main stand out to me tho.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jun 12 2024

I feel like Aerosmith went from overrated to underrated. This album wasn't bad, had a few rockin hits, just feel like we all got tired of them in the early 2000s.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jun 13 2024

Overall not bad, just funky. Happy Man was a jam. This band had waaay more hits than I remembered.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Jun 14 2024

Got a good sound, just felt kinda meh. Lovefool still slaps tho.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 17 2024

Has a few less played bangers. All Along the Watchtower being his only hit is still pretty wild to think about.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jun 18 2024

Mellow & relaxing with a good flow. Hard to give this one a low rating. Mostly was aware of the Girl from Ipanema, but the rest of the album keeps those relaxing vibes flowing.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jun 19 2024

Nice hearing something from him other than Brown Eyed Girl. Pretty solid with a few standouts, but has a few samey moments.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jun 24 2024

Yes, it's that good.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jun 25 2024

Not as enjoyable as the other IM album I got. Nothing really stood out to me.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 26 2024

Surprisingly liked this. Waay more than I was expecting.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jun 27 2024

Fun electronic instrumental album. Has some pretty neat tunes, but does kinda lag on. You start to feel that run time towards the end.

Queen II by Queen
Jul 01 2024

Amazing album, had a few experimental bits I wasn't expecting.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jul 02 2024

It's whatev. Didn't hate it, just nothing really stood out.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jul 03 2024

Delta Blues!

Marquee Moon by Television
Jul 04 2024

Idk, not my thing. Had some OK stuff here & there, but overall I'll probably never think of this album again.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jul 05 2024

The live prison setting makes this outlaw country classic even better.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jul 19 2024

All killer, no filler. This album still holds up to this day. Could easily be renamed the best of Nirvana part 1.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jul 22 2024

Easily one of the best albums of all time.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 23 2024

Only really cared for the songs I've heard. The rest was extremely forgettable.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Jul 25 2024

Just kind of a sad album. The slow fading of a musical genius. It's not really a great album, but there are still hints & moments hidden throughout makes it still worth the listen.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Aug 08 2024

Surprised I enjoyed his vocals, but the album itself is pretty dull. Maybe perfect for dad rock of the day, but extremely forgettable & bland.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Aug 09 2024

This album is stocked full of early millennium nostalgia. A bit front loaded... Pretty much the last half could've been removed, overall bringing it down.

Aug 12 2024

Probably the best unplugged recording ever. Crazy, but this is probably Nirvana's best album.

Aug 13 2024

Not being on spotify might have effected the ratings some having to listen to YouTube commercials in between each track... But I also wasn't really getting that into the groove with each track. Maybe it was the mixing, but just wasn't really digging it.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Aug 14 2024

I hated the 1st track, but it gets better. Some cool punk songs on here, but overall didn't think the album fits in the 1001 albums to listen to before you die...

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Aug 15 2024

This album proves that Kendrick is one of the all-time greatest.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 16 2024

Stranger Things already had me burnt out by her 1 song. Then all the Stranger Things fans made me actually kinda hate it. Ended up keeping this album on repeat & it only got better with each listen. Lol so instead of not liking it, I only kinda dig it.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Aug 23 2024

Attempted to listen to this a week ago, was busy, had trouble listening & a few tracks in, kinda hated it. Super behind on my list, decided to start over & knock out this album &... I kinda dig it. Into the Light, Arabian Knights, & Monitor are jams.

The Yes Album by Yes
Aug 26 2024

It's OK. Not my favorite, but I didn't really dislike it.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Aug 27 2024

Great voice, only halfway cared for the songs I've heard, otherwise I was just waiting for this one to end.

Is This It by The Strokes
Aug 28 2024

Is this it? It was already I guess...

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 09 2024

Pretty much what I expected it to be, Tom Waits with better vocals.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Sep 10 2024

Kinda fun funky groovy jams.

Ctrl by SZA
Sep 11 2024

Solid hip-hop / r&b. Had some really nice pieces in it. The rest was OK. Felt very middle of the pack but didn't hate it at all.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Sep 12 2024

The King. Some bangers on here, but a few that could've been left off. Pretty dang good overall.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 13 2024

Kinda boring & dull.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Sep 16 2024

Phenomenal album. Wish he stuck with his 50 states project, but Sufjan has constantly pumped out some extraordinary work since. This will always sit at the top.

Black Metal by Venom
Sep 18 2024

Was digging it at 1st. Teachers Pet was absolutely awful. Then it just started feeling more & more like a bad parody of a metal album.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Sep 19 2024

Even as soft background music I was ready for this to just be over. Sounds like music they'd play in a department store while you're stuck shopping with your mom, & you've been ready to leave for an hour now.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Sep 20 2024

I was excited about this one! Remembered loving them back in the day. I only like "She Wants to Move"

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Sep 25 2024

Chill, mellow, groovy, but felt neverending...

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Sep 26 2024

Such a good album. For 79, this is absurdly ahead of it's time.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Sep 27 2024

Surprised by how much I liked it. Mostly remembered them as like a 2 hit wonder, but this whole album went hard.

Green by R.E.M.
Sep 30 2024

Unoffensively okay.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Oct 02 2024

60s britpop overshadowed by the greats. Alright, just had me in the mood for The Beatles.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Oct 04 2024

Felt like a Wu Tang album. & Wu Tang is forever.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Oct 09 2024

This fucking sucked.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Oct 10 2024

I... Don't hate this. It's weird & abrasive, but it puts off heavy Ween & Primus vibes. Super cool hearing something so experimental, so ahead of its time that would've influenced (much better imo) bands.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Oct 11 2024

I think I like the idea of Tom Waits more than I actually like his music.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 14 2024

I like Bob Marley & the Wailers. Just didn't feel like I connected with it like I do their other work. Idk, maybe I'd rate it differently on another day.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 15 2024

Title track still slaps. The rest of the album just felt like butt rock style vocals over 80s electronic keyboard.

The Coral by The Coral
Oct 16 2024

Cool album art...

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Oct 17 2024

Hated it at 1st, but it really grows on you. Pretty solid imo. Would've really been into this when it originally came out & probably would've rated it higher.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Oct 21 2024

A few good classic tracks & the rest is just blues filler with an annoying organ.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 22 2024

After my 3rd Bruce Springsteen album I've come to the conclusion that The Boss's music is pretty lame.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Oct 23 2024

Relaxing & chill. Not a huge jazz fan, but this was pretty nice.

Oct 24 2024

Weird & out there & surprisingly neat. Idk, I should probably give it a 4, but I'm giving it a 3.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Oct 25 2024

Forgettable UK indie sleeze

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Oct 28 2024

Fiona Apple is amazing. Fan of a few of her other albums, but have never listened to this one other than the hits.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Oct 29 2024

I dig it. Time of the Season is a classic, & the rest of the tracks are chill & fit in nicely with it.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Oct 30 2024

The other Deep Purple album I had absolutely rocked. This one just felt kinda generic & bland.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Nov 01 2024

Wasn't feeling it at 1st, but it really grows on you. Strong craving for donuts, currently working on it.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 05 2024

Cool, chill, mellow. Left it on repeat for most of the work day. Makes for some relaxing background music.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Nov 06 2024

Full of great songs that get better with each listen. Still skip the 1st track, but I've grown to really love this album.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Nov 07 2024

Gloom & doom sounding. Oddly perfect mood for the day...

The Undertones by The Undertones
Nov 08 2024

My past few British punk albums were pretty awful, so I wasn't too excited for this one at 1st. It immediately turned into a nice surprise. Feels like the precursor to early pop punk. This album is a bop.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Nov 11 2024

Idk, the doors are whatever imo. 2nd album I've gotten of there's & just wasn't really feeling this one either.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Nov 12 2024

Good stuff, have always enjoyed Elliott Smith, so it was nice revisiting an album I have not listened to in forever. Well written songs, feel simple & somber.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Nov 13 2024

Enjoyed most of it, runaway child was kinda bad. Otherwise pretty great album.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Nov 14 2024

Was digging it, but having to use YouTube really ruins the flow...

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 18 2024

Either absolutely amazing songs, or just kinda whatever songs. Just the 1st half would've been an easy 4-5

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Nov 19 2024

This whole thing is amazing. I usually skip any bonus tracks, but I was even hooked on those.

Hms Fable by Shack
Nov 20 2024

Kinda generic. Easy to put on & forget you're even listening to music.

Cut by The Slits
Nov 22 2024

Not that great overall, but I really started to dig the vocalist. The cover was my favorite track.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Nov 25 2024

Nice chill classics

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 26 2024

Not sure how to describe it, but this whole album rubbed me the wrong way...

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Nov 27 2024

Pretty generic 90s west coast punk, didn't hate it tho

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 29 2024

Kinda hated it, but maybe I just wasn't in the mood for yacht rock. Easy listening for boring people.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Dec 02 2024

Had a few good moments, but overall just didn't care for it. Was mostly waiting for it to finish.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 03 2024

Not really a huge Van Halen fan, always held huge respect for Eddie's talent though. This whole album is pretty rad & full of hits.

More Specials by The Specials
Dec 04 2024

I just really don't like Ska. I also really don't like whatever else this is.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Dec 05 2024

The vocals ruin a lot of it. I enjoyed some of the songs, but completely forgettable otherwise.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Dec 06 2024

Our house is still a jam. The rest is pretty meh & not worth being on this list.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 09 2024

Super solid. I've hated everything I've gotten prior from these guys which surprised me. But turns out all the stuff of these I enjoyed was off of this album.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Dec 11 2024

Rockin 80s hair metal. Idk, not really a fan of the genre, but this album has enough catchy hits & good energy that it's at least an enjoyable listen.

1999 by Prince
Dec 12 2024

I've always enjoyed Prince's main pop hits & respected his talent as one of the world's greatest guitar players of all time. But this album only had a few tracks I could get into, mostly the singles. The rest was definitely funky & well produced, but just never landed for me.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Dec 13 2024

Dropping N-bombs like he's Sam Jackson in a Tarantino flick lol & sure I guess it fits within the context of the albums concept... But it's definitely a shock. Looking beyond that, I'm not really a fan of piano heavy singer songwriter music.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Dec 16 2024

Jazz is nice in short bits, but really makes me annoyed & uncomfortable in long form.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Dec 18 2024

Not as good as the other Led Zeppelin albums I've gotten so far. But Kashmir always rocks. Felt more like British band rockin out over blues riffs, but still a great album overall.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Dec 19 2024

Decent, but didn't feel as ground breaking as their last album I got on this list.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Dec 23 2024

Great album, but boy is it long. Feel like there's a fair amount of fat that could be trimmed to make it an easy 5 for me. I've listened to other Smashing Pumpkins albums, but never got around to this one with the exception of the singles. Lots of hidden gems on here, but you've got to work for them.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Dec 25 2024

Wasn't expecting to enjoy this, but it's getting saved for later.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Dec 27 2024

Had a few decent tracks, but overall wasn't a fan. Just lame dad rock.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Dec 30 2024

Bunch of Beatles classics, but not as fluid of their other albums.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jan 08 2025

Perfect.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jan 09 2025

Easy 3.the singles are still bops, the rest is mostly just whatever.

Jan 10 2025

I've always heard how hyped up Lupe was, but never heard much from him except for kick, push & daydreamin. Not bad & kinda surprised he never got as big as someone like Kanye. But that's only my opinion off of this one album. Outro sucks.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jan 13 2025

I feel like this albums demographic is wine drunk suburban housewifes.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 14 2025

I'm feeling pretty experienced. Idk, the last Hendrix album I got was a bit lackluster from what I remembered it being, but this is the one with mostly all the hits. Super solid & ground breaking.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 17 2025

Dug it, imagine is still a great song even though it's completely overplayed.

Fragile by Yes
Jan 20 2025

Zeppeli, why do you ... sound so dire?

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jan 22 2025

5 minutes in I was tired of the xylophone. Music would've been chill if it wasn't mixed into the front of every track.

Harvest by Neil Young
Jan 27 2025

I feel like Neil Young is pretty hit or miss. But his misses aren't really bad, they're just kinda whatever. Old Man is the standout track & still a bop.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jan 28 2025

Great voice, but her album felt too much of its time. Too cliche 80s R&B sax sounding.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jan 29 2025

This list made me a huge David Bowie fan, but if I got this one earlier I probably would've rated it much lower.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jan 31 2025

Take Your Mama has always been a favorite. This whole album just wants to have fun.

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 03 2025

"Disintegration is the best album ever!"

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Feb 04 2025

Pretty dang catchy stuff.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Feb 05 2025

Definitely full of fun 90s bops, but overall it runs kinda long only ending up to be just OK overall.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Feb 06 2025

Fun French electro pop.

Tical by Method Man
Feb 07 2025

Practically a Wu-Tang album & Wu-Tang is forever.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Feb 13 2025

What the hell even is this?

Purple Rain by Prince
Feb 17 2025

Prince at his best. This whole album is a bop.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Feb 18 2025

Solid songwriting, full of fun jams. Got behind on this list cause I wasn't done listening to this album.

Feb 20 2025

Not really a country fan... But this is still lightyears ahead of whatever that garbage is they're playing on modern country stations nowadays.

Third by Portishead
Feb 21 2025

Great electronic album, less trip hop than previously, a few songs are kinda whatever, but pretty good overall.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Feb 24 2025

It's alright, great voice, but was only into a few of the songs.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Feb 25 2025

It's whatever.

Nowhere by Ride
Feb 26 2025

I dig it.

Low by David Bowie
Feb 28 2025

Different from the other Bowie albums, doesn't hit as strong & as immediate as his other albums, but it does grow on you. Has some really nice, chill ambient tracks.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 03 2025

Solid album with some Bob Marley classics.

Metallica by Metallica
Mar 04 2025

All killer, no filler.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Mar 06 2025

Honestly just sounded like punk themed static. Album repeated at least once without me noticing. Not bad, just nothing that stands out.

Mar 10 2025

Some of the best songs ever written mixed in with a few other generic Queen tracks.

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 11 2025

Short & to the point. Punchy & fun.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Mar 12 2025

Weirdly ahead of its time sounding

High Violet by The National
Mar 13 2025

Pretty good album that I'll probably never listen to again. Maybe I'm not sad nor dad enough for it. Or maybe this album just alluded me during my depressed indie phase.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 14 2025

Not really into it... Wait, Superstition is on this! Big Brother is alright... & now back to not caring about this. Although it has a slow start, I Believe does end things with a solid jam at least.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Mar 17 2025

My favorite Arcade Fire album as well as an all-time favorite.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Mar 18 2025

Fun grooves that won't stop

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Mar 19 2025

Super solid reggae album

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Mar 20 2025

I'm definitely not the demographic for this, but it's got some solid jams mixed in. Has a few tracks I've gone back to. Damn girl, get it!

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Mar 25 2025

Sounds like an album that influenced a huge amount of artist. Not really my thing, but still solid songwriting.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Mar 26 2025

I really dig a few songs from their other albums, but 1st time listening to a full record by them. Good, but nothing really stood out. Maybe I need to give it a few more listens to really make a connection with it.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Mar 29 2025

Lots of solid stuff in here, lots of generic blues riffs as well. What's the difference between a toddler & a bag of coke?...

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Mar 30 2025

I don't really like her voice.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Mar 31 2025

I completely agree with the review: "What if The Flaming Lips never, ever, ever did drugs even one time and frankly is offended that you even asked about it?"

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Apr 01 2025

Kinda whiny & ruins the songs I already liked.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Apr 02 2025

Was kinda digging the 1st few tracks, then completely lost interest.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 05 2025

Rad.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Apr 07 2025

Pretty rad album. A bit psychedelic with a nice cohesive flow.

Rio by Duran Duran
Apr 08 2025

Bunch of hits I've heard a thousand times plus a few tracks I've never heard that were equally as good.

Apr 09 2025

Not really bad or anything, enjoyed it, just don't think it really has enough to be on this list.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Apr 10 2025

Surprised I never got into them when I was in my nu metal phase. This album was freaking rad.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 12 2025

One of the best songs of the era. Plus some other stuff. Mostly alright, few skippable stinkers tho.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Apr 13 2025

Definitely know him for Cars, but the whole album is just as good.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Apr 14 2025

It's alright. Inoffensive psych rock.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 15 2025

The African influences push this from OK to amazing. The few songs that lack that are what brings it down a tick.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Apr 18 2025

Super cheesy by modern standards. But for music of that era, not bad & the type of stuff I was actually looking forward to being on this list.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Apr 19 2025

A high school me favorite. Still hits hard 25 years later.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 22 2025

Has a few nice moments here & there, but overall felt it was pretty whatever.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Apr 23 2025

Got some chill grooves & fun electro dance vibes. Other parts comes off as cheesy trip hop.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 24 2025

THE electronic album of the indie sleese era.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Apr 26 2025

Loved her other album. Not digging a bunch of covers. Her singing is still solid at least... Dammit, it's still pretty good.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Apr 27 2025

Relived to find out it's only the 1st 12 tracks, not the whole double album. Great set of songs overall.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Apr 28 2025

Chill ambient beats to work to.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Apr 29 2025

Too romantic for a Monday afternoon at work.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Apr 30 2025

Ugh, it's over an hour... OK, has a few jams, plus Timbaland & the Neptune's production saves a good bit of this.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
May 01 2025

Dark & dreary.

London Calling by The Clash
May 03 2025

Finally, a super solid UK punk album.

Street Life by The Crusaders
May 04 2025

1st song kinda drags on for too long, but the rest is pretty dang groovy & chill.

xx by The xx
May 06 2025

Chill minimal indie electronic.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 08 2025

Not a bad album.... but a day after listening to it, I honestly don't remember much from it at all. Middle of the road & not memorable.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
May 09 2025

Instantly in a good mood.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
May 10 2025

It was a jam, but probably needed to jam out to it a bit more for a higher rating...

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
May 12 2025

Hip hop classic. Almost feels like a Snoop album at times.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
May 14 2025

Kept going back & forth between how I felt on this one... Definitely enjoyed a few tracks, but ultimately I don't see why it should be here other than the author's bias. After a 2nd listen, I felt it got worse.

Mask by Bauhaus
May 15 2025

Has some pretty interesting stuff going on. Too bad none of it is that good.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
May 16 2025

Absolutely groundbreaking for its time. Their next 2 albums deserve to be on this list as well.

Horses by Patti Smith
May 17 2025

Not a fan.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
May 18 2025

I like the idea of Tom Waits more than I like his music.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
May 19 2025

Only knew the hits going into this. Good & grungy. Vocals get whiny sounding at times, but when they hit, they hit.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 20 2025

I'm jamming

Kenya by Machito
May 21 2025

Loved the afro beats, got tired of the jazz...

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
May 22 2025

I kinda was digging some of this, but nearly 6 minutes of "Don't" brings it down a star.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
May 23 2025

Well this was a fun surprise. At times this is unreal for 73. I'd say it'd be perfect if he dropped the more traditional for-the-times tracks, only keeping the weird tripy stuff.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 24 2025

Was ready to be a little disappointed, then got blasted by one of their best hits! Then slowly got disappointed by the rest... But wait! Their other best hit is on here too!!

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
May 25 2025

It's just the 1st 9 tracks. It's got some long loopy droney jams & as a whole, it's alright. Kinda annoying how this site always selects the whole deluxe, multi disc version & not just the core album.

Suicide by Suicide
May 26 2025

Not what I was expecting. Mellow, easygoing synth jams. Could've done without the screaming in Frankie, but OK overall.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
May 27 2025

Like a Rolling Stone is still a jam, the rest takes some time to grow on you though.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
May 29 2025

Too cheesy to take seriously.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
May 30 2025

Didn't care for this one as much as I did the other album of theirs I got.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
May 31 2025

Has a few White Stripes classics, but I honestly feel like it doesn't hold up as well as it used to. Still enjoyable enough I reckon.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 02 2025

Dug it. Probably would've rated higher after a few listens, I feel like MBV deserves it to get into their albums more.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 03 2025

It's a jam.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jun 04 2025

Brutal listening experience.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jun 05 2025

A few dang good tracks & some other middle of the road r&b. Great singer on the songs

Jun 06 2025

I was groovin at 1st, but the longer it went on, the more I grew to hate it. Free Form Guitar is the straw that broke the camels back with an explosion of fake, wannabe psychedelic guitar nonsense.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 07 2025

Eh, kinda rock-ish but not quite working for me. Feels forgettable.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 08 2025

Genre defining. The answer for where to get started with shoegaze.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jun 09 2025

Wasn't expecting much since I wasn't into her last album, but really enjoyed this one.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jun 10 2025

Bleepy, bloopy, & relaxing

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jun 11 2025

Bunch of bangers. A few of his mega hits, plus songs I'd've never heard that I thought were even better.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Dang, rest in peace. Brian Wilson absolutely shaped music to come.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jun 14 2025

Aware of the singles, but never listened to this til now. When it originally came out, I was already into bands like Korn, so I assumed this'd be up my alley & a nostalgia trip in a way... Beautiful People is still solid, the rest is just super cheesy or weirdly cringey.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jun 16 2025

Really like a bunch of Jay Z songs. WTT & 4:44 are both pretty great. This whole album is just him jacking himself off. Great production but super overrated & full of lyrics about how amazing he is.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Jun 17 2025

Dang, instead of playing a 60s mix, I'm just putting this on.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jun 18 2025

Has some moments I really enjoyed & then kinda gets a bit into it self to the point of where it loses me.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Jun 19 2025

Brian Eno is just a chill dude who likes to make chill music.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jun 21 2025

Struggle with live albums on here. This is more worth seeing live (if it were possible now) than an album you need to listen to. I mean Gov't Mule is still around... Although I guess none of them were with the band at the time of this show. Idk, this is a big decent jam of whateverness.

The La's by The La's
Jun 22 2025

Eh, it's OK...oh, they wrote THAT song. 90s one hit wonder. Not bad, but not worth listening.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jun 23 2025

Plays black music. Ends up being a racist twat. Decent music from an awful person.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jun 25 2025

Honestly, all the French kinda ruined it. Super cool otherwise...until I read the synopsis, hella creepy.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jun 26 2025

Went back & forth between loving & hating this. Part of what makes this great, goes a bit too hard into it where I can't stand it.

Jun 27 2025

Weird having a movies soundtrack on here, but it's still an amazing album. Far from my favorite Air album tho, feels like they've got a few that'd deserve to be on here over this.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jun 28 2025

Not what I'd expect from bjork's 1st album/band, but surprisingly catchy & fun.

Jun 29 2025

Rockin but all the songs feels very samey. Although it was probably fun show, that energy doesn't really transfer to the recording. Live albums don't really work out well here.

Jun 30 2025

Pretty much garbage country music til the last few songs, then it kinda evens out with some less garbage but more traditional The Byrds sounding tracks. Was going to give this a 2, but the country music was so bad...

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jul 02 2025

Short, fun, & to the point.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jul 03 2025

Reminds me of all the half-assed hippies in college. The only time I'd agree to listening to any of this again is if a track popped up on Sublime radio.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Jul 04 2025

Big Muff is my favorite fuzz pedal. Nice early grunge, just not all the songs were that great. Loved the energy & sound tho.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 07 2025

Neat 80s synth stuff, overall felt dated.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jul 08 2025

Interesting listen at least. I've really enjoyed world, especially the more African influenced albums, but this one just didn't connect for me.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Jul 09 2025

Not bad, just a middle of the road, forgettable album, that doesn't really hold that much of an inpact or importance.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Jul 11 2025

Eh, I generally thought it was OK at best at times.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jul 13 2025

Dumb album for dumb-dumbs.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jul 14 2025

Ugh, fuck Kanye & all, but this still slaps. Such an absolute disappointment of a human.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jul 15 2025

Songs are either all out bangers or bland easy-listening. Man, I really wanted to rate this one higher...

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jul 16 2025

I'm groovin

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jul 17 2025

Pretty decent thrash. I'd probably rate this higher if I spent more time with it.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jul 18 2025

Goes back & forth between solidly OK to surprisingly alright.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jul 19 2025

His vocals suck. Literally anyone else singing would make this at least a bit bearable. "Morrissey sucks, but he's soo talented!" I absolutely don't get the talented part...

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jul 20 2025

At times a solid 4, but then it slowly ended with me losing that feeling.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jul 21 2025

Not quite my thing.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Jul 22 2025

Decent new wave, had some amazing tracks, but kinda dragged a bit between them.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Rest in peace, Prince of Darkness.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 25 2025

A few CCR bangers with some other chill tracks to spread things out.

Smash by The Offspring
Jul 26 2025

Fun, overall OK, poppy punk.

Faith by George Michael
Jul 27 2025

1st half is solid, 2nd half kinda faded into the background for me. Fairly fun overall.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jul 28 2025

Wasn't expecting such a bop. 80s pop at its absolute best.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jul 30 2025

Easily one of the best albums of all time.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jul 31 2025

All over the place in the best way. Tracks start to sound generic, then slowly warp into a bit of weirdness as they keep going.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Aug 02 2025

Phenomenal album from one of the greatest bands of all time.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Aug 03 2025

Dug it. Weird, wonky, & a bit psychedelic. Has a few annoyances that pop up, but I kinda started to dig on re-listens.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Aug 05 2025

Nonstop banger after banger. Still goes hard 28 years later.

Damaged by Black Flag
Aug 06 2025

Regret not getting into these guys in my more hard core punk-ish phase, even if I wasn't really ever that hard core or punk lol. Decent overall & can see why it's on here.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Aug 08 2025

Has a few great moments, just kinda long, but easy listening. Great, after a few re-listens.

Quiet Life by Japan
Aug 09 2025

Actually good new wave. Definitely a jam.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Aug 10 2025

Phenomenal album. Sad he'd never see how influential his music became.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Aug 11 2025

35 minutes of gorgeous music completely ruined my the most obnoxious vibrato vocals I've ever heard.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Aug 13 2025

Either I'm warming up to his style or this one actually wasn't as bad as his others...

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Aug 14 2025

As much as I've listened to Deerhunter in the past, I never got around to this album. Probably my new favorite of theirs.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Aug 15 2025

This is an absolute jam.

Spiderland by Slint
Aug 16 2025

Kinda interesting, kinda weird, kinda liked it, kinda didn't.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Aug 18 2025

Not only are all these songs cheesy, they also suck.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Aug 19 2025

Groovy weird album. Talking Heads are great.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Aug 20 2025

There's some great production here. Plus some catchy pop, I guess I can see why it's on here... I'm not listening to disc 2, only the original release tracks.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Aug 21 2025

My millennial senses are tingling.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Aug 22 2025

Started off not really in to it, but slowly converted as the album went on. Pretty solid rock album that I feel deserves a bit of time with.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Aug 23 2025

Pretty good

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Aug 24 2025

Feels like a greatest hits album.

Being There by Wilco
Aug 26 2025

Listened to the whole thing, but feel like my rating is more for disc 1. Disc 2 kinda dragged & wasn't as good. Anyways, pleasantly surprised by the 1st half.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 27 2025

Sounds like if Nick Cave wrote a Leonard Cohen album.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Aug 28 2025

Mostly cheesy late 80s hip hop. Feels like a better representation of the genre exists to replace it on here.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Aug 30 2025

Huh, wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. Was honestly expecting it to be more generic UK junk the author liked. Plus Coconut is on here! I can see this definitely deserving to be on here.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Sep 01 2025

Forgettable

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Sep 03 2025

This dude does not deserve to have 5 albums on here. Sadly I have 1 more of his to look forward to.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 05 2025

I just want to be done with Elvis Costello.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Sep 06 2025

Not too much here,but not bad. A one hit wonder band, but that's on another album.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Sep 07 2025

Annoying vocals, annoying songs, with hints of interesting musical bits hidden throughout. Overall, just can't stand the smiths

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Sep 08 2025

Finally done with Leonard Cohen. god gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Sep 09 2025

Although every track just feels like a slightly different Ace of Spades, it's still pretty rockin. Jailbait: lol wtf dude.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Sep 10 2025

Smooth, easy listening that grow into slight earworms. And also a little bizarre... ゴゴゴゴ

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Sep 12 2025

Was mostly just wanting it to end, but still feel no other negative feelings towards it. Just whatever soul.

Sep 13 2025

Does kinda sound like Nirvana... Rockin otherwise.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Sep 14 2025

Wasn't expecting it to be mostly bangers.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Sep 15 2025

Forgettable

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Sep 16 2025

I liked the closing track.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Sep 18 2025

Had 1 song I liked, but the rest was pretty boring & unremarkable.

Vespertine by Björk
Sep 19 2025

Woah, I've been looking forward to this one. Didn't disappoint. Super lush & atmospheric.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Sep 20 2025

Alrightish sad dad indie I guess. Short so easy to get a relisten in which helps it grow on you a little. Not a fan of the vocals as a whole, a few tracks are misses.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Sep 21 2025

It's alright. Kinda trying hard to sound like Frank Ocean at times.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Sep 22 2025

Delightfully chill

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Sep 24 2025

Rad. This list needs more world music.

Kenza by Khaled
Sep 25 2025

Pretty enjoyable! Until imagine lol Dug the Arabic singing

Revolver by Beatles
Sep 26 2025

Mostly feels like they were on cruise control for this one. Tomorrow Never Knows definitely stands out from the rest.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Sep 28 2025

Kinda boring, generic pop music. Robbie never really made it that big over here, so this one isn't standing out as anything to me.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Sep 29 2025

Chill, happy, & fun.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Sep 30 2025

It was alright. Kinda chill & spacious sounding. Not as stand out as their other work.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 01 2025

Front heavy, last few songs start to drag, but super solid overall

Country Life by Roxy Music
Oct 02 2025

Had some pretty fun, catchy tracks.

Dare! by The Human League
Oct 03 2025

It's coming up It's coming up It's coming up It's coming up It's coming up It's coming up It's dare

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Oct 04 2025

As if there weren't enough 80s British New Wave on this list...

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Oct 06 2025

Decently whatever.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Oct 07 2025

Fairly chill African jams

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Oct 08 2025

The bones are the skeletons' money In our world bones equal dollars That's why they're comin' out tonight To get their bones from you The skeletons'll pull your hair Up but not out

American Pie by Don McLean
Oct 09 2025

Title track is practically a modern American standard. The rest of the album is OK, but feels a bit samesy.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Oct 11 2025

A triphop classic.

Blur by Blur
Oct 12 2025

Sounds like a Gorillaz knockoff.

90 by 808 State
Oct 13 2025

Rad early electronic jams. Bad day for me to have a headache tho

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Oct 14 2025

It's an OK live album I guess. Was going to give it a 2, but it ended up having its moments. Mostly not a fan of live albums on the list.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Oct 15 2025

Absolutely phenomenal album.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Oct 16 2025

I was kinda digging it, til it started drifting more & more country.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Oct 18 2025

Got a lot going on here. Mostly feels pretty dated. Like something mom's in the 70s enjoyed listening to.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Oct 20 2025

Huh, was expecting to hate this. Seems like a inspiration for the album Centipede HZ by Animal Collective. At least reminds me of it.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Oct 21 2025

Eh, 90s nothing radio rock

Slayed? by Slade
Oct 22 2025

Sucked?

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 23 2025

I think I liked it?

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Oct 24 2025

I feel like this one is a grower & requires repeat listens to fully get.

1977 by Ash
Oct 25 2025

Already forgot I listened to this.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Oct 29 2025

The one reviewer who said listen to this on YouTube was correct. The Spotify version isn't the right one. Baller album.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Oct 30 2025

Rad album, surprised I hadn't listened to it before. Surprisingly more influential than I expected.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Oct 31 2025

The skits are so fucking stupid. Take them out & it's an easy 5. Like they are seriously annoying. I was desperately looking for a version without the narration cause I genuinely enjoy the music.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Nov 01 2025

Kinda whatever for a Beatles album. Early pop tracks with covers that don't work as well as the originals. Feels like an album they threw out there just to pump albums out.

Melodrama by Lorde
Nov 04 2025

Nothing but bops & bangers. Ya ya! But forreal, absolutely phenomenal album.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Nov 05 2025

Not really a Bon Jovi fan... But I guess this is the one to listen to if you want some of the main hits. The rest fits in pretty well, just not a fan.

Achtung Baby by U2
Nov 06 2025

Joshua Tree proves they're capable of greatness. This just feels like a watered down version of something that could be good. Bland & flavorless.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Nov 07 2025

She reminds me of the most annoying girls I met in college... But that's not her fault. Powerful vocals.

Bossanova by Pixies
Nov 09 2025

Dang, was disappointed by the other Pixies albums, but this one hits just right.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Nov 10 2025

I've never stopped believing in anything called Love. Half baller album, half annoying gimmick.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Nov 11 2025

Saw them at their last Red Rocks show, really made me fall in love with the band. Surprised to see one of their albums on here.

Nov 12 2025

Great early hip hop sound. Damn he hates women. Like, he might as well've been gay with views like that.

Forever Changes by Love
Nov 14 2025

Had a few songs I really liked. Also had moments where I suddenly remembered, oh yeah, I'm listening to this... & it's not that long of an album..

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Nov 15 2025

Has got some interesting weirdness going on, but not really any interesting songs.

Nov 16 2025

I think this a good example of an album that could be taken off this list.

Be by Common
Nov 17 2025

GOOD music.

Dookie by Green Day
Nov 18 2025

Highwater mark for 90s pop punk. All killer. No filler.

Tago Mago by Can
Nov 19 2025

Pretty rad stuff overall. There's a few tracks that got kinda annoying, but super chill & jammy album.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Nov 24 2025

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would! Sounds better than the cover looks. Still had a few stinkers, but decent otherwise.

Atomizer by Big Black
Nov 25 2025

Gets better if you play it loud.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Nov 29 2025

Fun surprise of a triphop album I wasn't expecting

Document by R.E.M.
Nov 30 2025

Pretty good, plus a few tracks I've always loved.

Calenture by The Triffids
Dec 02 2025

Cheesy but not in a fun way.

Illmatic by Nas
Dec 03 2025

Well dang. I regret not listening to this earlier.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Dec 04 2025

Not really bad, just not really for me. In a more perfect world, I'd rate what belongs on here vs how much I liked it.

#1 Record by Big Star
Dec 07 2025

Short & solid. Enjoyed jamming out on repeat.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Dec 09 2025

Music for an obnoxiously hip/trendy clothing store that you can't afford.

Close To You by Carpenters
Dec 11 2025

Extremely cheesy, but some of the songs are pretty well written...

John Prine by John Prine
Dec 12 2025

What an absolute fucking G. This shit goes hard. Modern country could never.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Dec 13 2025

It's alright. Starts off with their best song.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Dec 14 2025

Watered down rock with whiny vocals

Vivid by Living Colour
Dec 15 2025

Feels too dated

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Dec 17 2025

A totally biased 5... Spirit of Eden & The Laughing Stock need to both be on here instead tho.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Dec 18 2025

Cheesy music for total cornball.

Technique by New Order
Dec 20 2025

Longing for the old order.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Dec 21 2025

Singing sounds kinda bored, but there's some nice musical bits

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Dec 22 2025

Getting preached to for about an hour, but 34 years later, he's completely dead on.

Dec 25 2025

Sounds like a mix between early Coldplay & Radiohead.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Dec 26 2025

Fell in love with Tigermilk. This album has the sound, but not the same magic. An extremely biased 4.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jan 06 2026

Easy option of an album to remove.

White Ladder by David Gray
Jan 10 2026

I didn't hate it, just didn't feel standout enough.

Phrenology by The Roots
Jan 14 2026

Really dug it, but I also have always enjoyed The Roots. See them live if you ever get a chance!

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jan 15 2026

The recording sounds old, but some of their earlier tracks were still great. Some tracks have a bit of a doo-wop sound. The album was pretty OK overall.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jan 18 2026

Viel Lärm, aber ein interessantes Hörerlebnis.

Jan 22 2026

I was never a Kanye fan til getting absolutely blown away by this album. Extremely disappointed in his current trajectory.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jan 23 2026

Oh I'm groovin

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jan 24 2026

Yes, this is easily an album you must hear before you die. I don't even like jazz, but this is the one I do enjoy listening to.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jan 25 2026

Really hard for me to enjoy an hour long piano recital

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jan 26 2026

Not as bad as I was expecting based on the other reviews. Rough & rowdy. Sounds like a random drunk band playing in the back of a dive.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Jan 27 2026

Sounds like all of the "The ___" bands from the early 2000s, but better.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jan 29 2026

Not baaaad bad, was just kinda ready for it to end....

Future Days by Can
Jan 30 2026

Now this I CAN get into.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jan 31 2026

Pretty chill, easy going indy rock. The vocals took a bit of getting used to, but not bad overall.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Feb 01 2026

Chill, easy listening Americana

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Feb 02 2026

Love Röyksopp. Both Junior & Senior could easily be on the list as well.

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 03 2026

Some of the most memorable Beatles songs, with some of their most forgettable.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Feb 04 2026

Lol, this is pretty dang cheesy. Not bad, but I'm pretty bongoed-out.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Feb 05 2026

Gritty rock static.

Odelay by Beck
Feb 07 2026

Fun creative album.

Woodface by Crowded House
Feb 09 2026

Boring & bland

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Feb 10 2026

Was never into Fast Cars, but listening to the album made me appreciate it more. Not really an album I like, but get why it's here.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 11 2026

Has one song we've all heard & the rest is just OK

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Feb 12 2026

This is definitely an album on this list.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Feb 13 2026

What a cool album. Really dug the explanation of how Indian music is structured before going in to it. Made the different elements I tend to overlook stand out as I had a better understanding of whats going on.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Feb 14 2026

Reminds me of the type of bands I'd hear at the old underground music shows I went to waaaay back in the day.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Feb 15 2026

Over an hour of random noodling that goes nowhere.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 17 2026

Especially nothing special.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Feb 18 2026

A lot going on, most of which isn't that great.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Feb 20 2026

Pretty dang rad. Chaoticly crazy fun. feel like most negative reviews are based on the name alone.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Feb 21 2026

Didn't realize how many radio hits were on this. Plus the songs I hadn't heard are just as good. 90s banger after banger.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 22 2026

This was always the album I skipped when I go back & play through their albums. Hadn't listened to it in a really long time... But now that I've seen them live a few times, a lot of these tracks stand out as being more familiar & I enjoyed it much more. Biased 5 since I like the band lol

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Feb 23 2026

Pretty good at times, pretty not at other points.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Feb 24 2026

This album's super rad. Has a few covers I prefer over the original.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Feb 25 2026

David Bowie without what makes David Bowie David Bowie.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Feb 26 2026

Dang, don't judge a b̶o̶o̶k̶ album by it's cover... This was a pretty dang enjoyable surprise.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Feb 28 2026

Left me feeling slightly annoyed

Mar 01 2026

Feels like every song was written to eventually be used in a remix as a dance track. Speaking of... The original Brimful of Asha is still a great track.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Mar 04 2026

Starts off rockin, but just kinda drags on & loses my interest as it went

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Mar 07 2026

Like an annoying version of the Talking Heads

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Mar 08 2026

Got some indie sleeze vibes. Chill album. These guys are way better than their radio hits make them seem.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Mar 09 2026

Kinda wonky sounding, but has a few neat psych rock moments. Idk, kinda felt like they were tripping & messing around in the studio.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Mar 10 2026

An hour of Lenny Kravitz just Lenny Kravitzing all over the place.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 12 2026

ARI, ARI, ARI, ARI! Arrivederci!!!

In Utero by Nirvana
Mar 13 2026

More raw & grungier than their previous album. A few songs feel like filler, but grow on you after a few re-listens.

Pornography by The Cure
Mar 16 2026

Kinda surprised I didn't like this one.

Parklife by Blur
Mar 17 2026

Sorry 2-D, but I'm pretty burnt out from all the britpop on the list.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Mar 18 2026

I gave it 2 full listens to make sure... Kept feeling like it was on the brink of being great, but never really connected.

Mar 20 2026

Hadn't listened to this one before, but felt like Born to Die / Paradise should be on here. Glad I gave it a listen, it's incredible.

Sulk by The Associates
Mar 22 2026

Unbearably bad to the point of being funny.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Mar 23 2026

Just an alright Elvis album. Nothing special. Still the king.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Mar 25 2026

This was a neu one to me! super solid, full of great melodies.

Drunk by Thundercat
Mar 27 2026

A wacky mix of impressive instrumentation & zany lyrics. Dude seems like a blast to hangout with.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Mar 28 2026

Easily one of the best albums of all time.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 29 2026

Was digging it at 1st, but started to feel more like banshees wailing as it went on.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Mar 30 2026

Album is hit or miss, but the hits are insane.

Mar 31 2026

Kinda OK, but started liking it more when I let it sit in the background while not paying attention to it.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Apr 01 2026

Better than I expected, but also drifts off into aimless psych noodling like I also expected.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Apr 02 2026

Not really notable in any way.

Apr 03 2026

Edgy & immature, but that's always been what made Em such a fun listen.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Apr 04 2026

Pretty disappointed from an album with the title "Tank Battles"

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Apr 05 2026

Surprisingly easy album to listen to on repeat. Hella rad & just keeps going.

The Score by Fugees
Apr 08 2026

Good grooves & constant, "Ooh yeah! This track!"

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Apr 09 2026

Most live albums feel weird being on here.

Apr 11 2026

Chill album for a chill day

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Apr 12 2026

Every track is either a groove, a jam, or a bop.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Apr 14 2026

So dang cheesy.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 15 2026

Rolling has popped up on my Discover Weekly a good bit, so I was excited to see this album on here. Dang, the rest of it really is that good too.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 16 2026

Difficult to get through & a real challenge to the listener, but the list was made for albums like this.

Repeater by Fugazi
Apr 18 2026

Based on listening to this album I felt like Fugazi is cooler than they are good. Kinda like the 90s Turnstile lol

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Apr 19 2026

I would've been super into this in 2017. I'm super into it in 2026 instead.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Apr 20 2026

Stupid fucking album. Sure, I'll rate it what he wanted...

Django Django by Django Django
Apr 21 2026

Neat album with some easy going chill vibes. I dig it.

Apr 24 2026

Stacked album.

Apr 26 2026

Alright Country. & I absolutely hate country music.

Apr 29 2026

OK immature early punk

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Apr 30 2026

I hate her voice so much.

May 01 2026

I'd've heard a few The Streets songs before, so I knew what to expect. Pretty decent album overall innit bruv

Pelican West by Haircut 100
May 02 2026

Talking Heads if they were bad. & stuck in an 80s lobby...

LP1 by FKA twigs
May 03 2026

Light & dreamy

Vulnicura by Björk
May 05 2026

I really loved the weird ethereal soft blippy parts, but some of the songs were kinda just ok otherwise. Neat album tho

Trio by Dolly Parton
May 06 2026

Not a country fan, but they've got some nice vocals. It's a shame what modern country has devolved into.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
May 07 2026

Tight & chill. I'm familiar with Goldfrapp, but I guess it was their more electronic stuff.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
May 09 2026

Short & sweet. Can't we be friends stands out too much compared to the rest of the album.

More rockin than I expected. Has some cool tracks.

Play by Moby
May 13 2026

Electronic legend.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
May 17 2026

It's got chill cafe background music vibes

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
May 18 2026

A polite 3. Can't really get into them, but it's not really bad either.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
May 19 2026

Finally done with The Byrds! This one wasn't that bad actually...

Whatever by Aimee Mann
May 20 2026

The titles on point.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
May 21 2026

Having flashbacks to this being played everywhere I went back in college... Nonstop hipster praise. Honestly, wasn't as bad as I had remembered.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
May 23 2026

Chill, but not as catchy as their other album on here.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
May 24 2026

Pretty decent album with an interesting concept weaving through the tracks.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
May 25 2026

Enjoyed enough to give it a slight positive rating. Vocals sound kindy whiny.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
May 30 2026

Pretty dang good. Let it loop 4 or 5 times. Amazing voice, super relaxing. Something about his singing made me feel good.

Jun 01 2026

Got some really weird & wonky stuff going on, but pretty fun & interesting to listen to. It's looooooong...

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Jun 03 2026

Who's who of my least favorite artists from this list. Awful theater-kid garbage.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jun 04 2026

These young rascals are pretty groovin.

Closer by Joy Division
Jun 05 2026

I really don't like this style of vocals/singing. Colony did sound like he was saying Paula Deen tho.

2112 by Rush
Jun 07 2026

Fun album with a few wonky bits here & there.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jun 08 2026

Good collection of classic rock radio hits.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Jun 12 2026

Wasn't expecting a Damon Albarn album. Luckily it's more Gorillaz than The Blur.

The Slider by T. Rex
Jun 13 2026

Didn't click as much as their other record did.

No Other by Gene Clark
Jun 16 2026

Alright-ish country

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 17 2026

Remember listening to this as a kid.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jun 19 2026

A lot of nothing

So by Peter Gabriel
Jun 20 2026

Solid. Also, Sledgehammer still slaps.

Third by Soft Machine
Jun 21 2026

Sucked. Whenever I felt like it was about to redeem itself, it'd get worse.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jun 22 2026

Normally I feel like even a 1 deserves to be on here. & honestly, based on the reviews, thought this album was going to at least be memorable... There isn't anything special about this album.

Low-Life by New Order
Jun 25 2026

Alright

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Jun 26 2026

One of my most listened to albums of all time. Their whole discography belongs on this list.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jun 27 2026

Fun surprise of an album

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jul 01 2026

Tracks felt more like they were just messing around & this is what they recorded, than an actual thought out album.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jul 02 2026

We have Duran Duran at home...

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jul 05 2026

Generic 90s electro with a little bit of GameCube water graphics mixed with some trendy clothing store vibes.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jul 06 2026

Album starts off as generic rock, then transitions into generic rock covers.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Jul 07 2026

Woah. There's way more going on in here than I was expecting. Unreal amount of foundation for a lot of music to come.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jul 09 2026

Blues on autopilot. Not bad... Just lacks any soul.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jul 11 2026

Goofy ahh voice.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jul 12 2026

Awesome album. I've been trashing covers on here lately, but they absolutely make the covers their own. The non covers are just as great.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Jul 13 2026

This one started like it was about to be amazing, but all the songs started to suck towards the end.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jul 15 2026

Not bad, just a little too vapid for me. I feel like Lana Del Ray does all this type of stuff but way better.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jul 16 2026

Groove is in the Heart is still the stand out & it feels like they spent the most amount of time producing it. Has more going on & is more interesting than their other stuff. The rest is still a groove, just not for the heart.

The Doors by The Doors
Jul 18 2026

Half great, half OK. Alabama Song gets a bit creepy...

Abraxas by Santana
Jul 19 2026

Smooth

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 20 2026

Generational talent, but her style of singing was never for me.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jul 21 2026

Honestly better when played loudly. Can see how this'd influence a few different artists I like.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jul 22 2026

Dumb

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jul 23 2026

Gave it an extra listen just to make sure... Cool cover art tho

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Jul 25 2026

Although I hated it, there's a few neat grooves in here that helps with getting through it

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jul 26 2026

Pretty dang cheesy, but it probably felt edgy towards mom's in the 80s

Kala by M.I.A.
Jul 27 2026

I really miss this era & style of music production. Saw her open for LCD Soundsystem at Red Rocks not too long ago & these tracks still slap

Risque by CHIC
Jul 28 2026

Groovin. Nile Rodgers guitar playing always feels just right. Dude deserves more credit.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jul 30 2026

The collaborators don't add much to his music, but JLH does elevate each of the collaborations imo. Dig the cover. Menacingly Deep South.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jul 31 2026

Pretty dang rockin.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Aug 01 2026

African music has such amazing & unique melodies & grooves. This is a pretty cool album.

Aug 03 2026

Tainted Love sandwiched between a bunch of songs I absolutely hated.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Aug 04 2026

Slowly realizing that I don't like new wave, but this album has some pretty nice moments.

Night Life by Ray Price
Aug 06 2026

4th wall break, then a bunch of mid country western

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Aug 07 2026

This album was an absolute juggernaut when it came out. Impossible to ignore. 1st half is better, feels kinda creepy since she was still pretty young when it came out, but it totally belongs on here.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Aug 09 2026

Bleepy bloopy funky & cool

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Aug 10 2026

Eh, singing over piano just wasn't clicking for me. H2OGate went pretty hard tho. It gets an extra star for that.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Aug 12 2026

Mostly enjoyed it, but I kinda hated Song with No Words.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Aug 13 2026

Hella corny, but some of the tracks towards the end started to be a bit of a jam. Except Dust is pure cheese.
