Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Oct 07 2023

definitely reminds me of other music from the era. television, tom petty, british wave. can't decide if I like it enough to keep coming back.

Sea Change by Beck
Oct 08 2023

I love beck. this slow and mourning sounding beck is my least favorite, though. This music is beautiful but not quite my cup of tea.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Oct 10 2023

It is hard to get past the absolute cliche of Depeche Mode as 80s synth rock. but after I do I realize this album is full of absolute bangers. I don't even know what most of these instruments are but they sound great.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Oct 11 2023

the rhythmic music and longsome vocals remind me of other african music I've heard. there are some real jams on here though I have a hard time really resonating with it.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Oct 13 2023

is it weird to say that this album bored me?

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Oct 14 2023

classic radiohead. sounds like bonus tracks of OK Computer and I'm here for it.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Oct 15 2023

I really love this album. I don't think I'd ever heard it before. It definitely feels a bit dated, coming out in 2000, but in all the ways I love.

Marquee Moon by Television
Oct 25 2023

have been aware of this album for a few years, ever since I saw it show up as a top rock album of all time. reminds me of brit pop. really infectious songs. sounds modern.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 26 2023

I love LCD Soundsystem. this is arguably their weakest album, no idea why it's on this list.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Oct 28 2023

excellent

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Apr 04 2025

meh. should I like this more? i don't.

Moon Safari by Air
Apr 05 2025

this album sounds like a classic to me, maybe because I'm so familiar with it, and maybe because at this point it IS a classic. I remember a moment in the early 2000s maybe when anyone hip had this album on their radar.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Apr 06 2025

This album sounds like 1992 hip hop. I'm really surprised I haven't heard of it before. I do feel like I would have loved it if I had heard it then, but today it sounds very dated and hard for me to really "get".

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Apr 07 2025

Not really digging this album. it sounds generically like lots of things from the 60s but doesn't have the interest that I get from bands like The Who. meh, boring.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Apr 08 2025

I came to this album late, a few years after it was released. In some ways I didn't really know Nirvana until after Kobain had passed away. This album is awesome and timeless.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 09 2025

Absolute Classic. Everything about new hip hop that I love. It's so good and also not for me, I sometimes feel sheepish about grooving to it so much.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Apr 11 2025

This is another album that feels DATED. 20 years is maybe the sweet spot where things start to feel dated without having the shine of legacy. Overall I think NERD suffers from sounding SO MUCH LIKE NERD. I think they are eclipsed by the hits that NERD has done for other people. It sounds like a Snoop Dogg or Justin Timberlake song without those key stars.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 12 2025

couple good jams on here. I feel like if I listened to this album 10 or more times I'd fall in love with it. Will I do that? unlikely.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Apr 13 2025

epic. iconic guitar riffs, iconic guitar sounds. great songs, even beyond the hits.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Apr 14 2025

my father, being named frank, was given a t-shirt in the 80s that said "Frankie Says Relax". It was probably another decade later before I realized this shirt related to the song on this album. the first half of this album sounds like a reprise of their hit Relax. I do like the few covers I recognized. also I bet this was very provocative when it came out. Does make you wonder about the Parental Advisory sticker, which only came about a decade latter when rappers were talking about sex. racism really is everywhere.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 15 2025

ashamed to admit I found this album a bit boring.

Apr 16 2025

I have fond memories of this album. listening to it now, it feels like bubblegum that has lost it's chew. it's still good, but it's nostalgia for me is fading. maybe if I was in the right mood.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Apr 18 2025

weirdly this doesn't actually sound very dated. still, I don't quite get it.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 21 2025

love this album, it's amazing

25 by Adele
Apr 26 2025

there are a couple bangers on here that I love to belt, but lots of tracks that don't quite resonate with me.

Tical by Method Man
Apr 27 2025
In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Apr 29 2025

I feel like a plebeian for not getting into jazz more. These two tracks sound like I'm in a smoky bar sipping scotch.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Apr 30 2025

classic. in 2025 it's hard to classify this as any sort of "metal". sounds like pop!

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
May 12 2025

because of listening to bark at the moon too young, ozzy's voice continues to scare me.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
May 14 2025

just sounds old. didn't find anything on here that I particularly liked.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
May 15 2025

sounds like 90s indie rock. never heard of this band before but I've definitely heard a dozen bands that sound just like this.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
May 19 2025

couple bangers here

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
May 27 2025

not as great as I remember? I remember going to the EMP music museum in seattle and seeing this record in the shop there, thinking it was a sign of ultimate coolness. I listened to it a bit after that and thought I really loved it.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Jun 03 2025

not bad. doesn't really catch me though.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jul 08 2025

i love the monkees but this album doesn't have anything I remember.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jul 22 2025

I love the song Pink Moon, likely because of a pringles commercial? the rest of this album is ethereal and dreamy, if maybe a bit boring.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Sep 04 2025

I love joni mitchell but I'm on the fence about her music. Feel like I didn't hear it at the right time.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Sep 06 2025

I mean, comon.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Sep 09 2025

This album is really good.
