The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Oct 19 2023

these songs do go on a bit, 5 mins feels longer than 5 mins

Oct 23 2023

I'm really starting to get a sense of the type of person making these picks and I think they just don't have a very diverse taste in music

The Cars by The Cars
Oct 26 2023

yeah this sure sounds like music idk

Ten by Pearl Jam
Oct 27 2023

yeah ok this is fine. maybe just bc I listened to a lot of it in the car with my dad release is far too long though and I like long songs, it's just not doing quite enough

Low-Life by New Order
Oct 28 2023

i already know i'm kind of a sucker for this kind of stuff even though i don't really listen to it directly, just covers

Ramones by Ramones
Oct 31 2023

this was the same song like 30 times. it was good the first 2 times

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Nov 01 2023

I just don't like this

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Nov 03 2023

Yeah I'm adding this to my library

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Nov 05 2023

I cannot imagine describing this as influential or essential listening

Play by Moby
Nov 06 2023

I mean I guess I'd rather listen to this than kings of leon but only barely

Guero by Beck
Nov 11 2023

I really hoped I would like this more

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Nov 13 2023

my only complaint is that I wish it was longer

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Nov 14 2023

my max beastie boys content is one song a day thank you

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Nov 18 2023

I liked time to go, so +1 star from my 2 stars for the rest of it

Third by Soft Machine
Nov 19 2023
Konnichiwa by Skepta
Nov 20 2023

this was not for me sadly

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Nov 22 2023

this has ruined the beastie boys for me

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Dec 01 2023

sax is always going to get a pretty decent rating from me

Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 02 2023

this is not 9am music actually no i'm like an hour into this and I don't think I'd ever like it

War by U2
Dec 05 2023

u2 is just going to be like, baseline standard 3 stars automatically. p sure I like this album though, but it's been like. 15 years since i last listened to it yeah! it's u2! u2 is always going to be a 2-4 star. never gonna be awful, never going to be the best thing I've ever heard

Dec 06 2023

it was perfectly average 80s music. I expected worse based on the cover, but also I wasn't blown away. Poison arrow is pretty good, the rest was listenable

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Dec 07 2023

...I expected something more uh, interesting? innovative? from this list for an album from 2003. this isn't doing anything for me. this feels like such a slog to listen to lol

John Prine by John Prine
Dec 08 2023

yeah this is good stuff. I listened to more than just this john prine yesterday

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Dec 12 2023

This is great background music for working, nothing offensive about it at all, just easy to listen to

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Dec 13 2023

no this is nothing to me and it really just goes on forever huh

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Dec 14 2023

black hole sun is an alltimer. I hadn't listened to much of the rest, but it was decent! 4 stars for being listenable as something that isn't really my thing

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Dec 16 2023

Fantastic. This was great end of the work day music

I am not a hardcore punk person sorry

Synchronicity by The Police

I cannot stand the police

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 24 2023

sorry I already know this is a 5 star album, it's perfect

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Dec 25 2023

I'm sorry to these men but if you told me this was pink floyd I would believe you. idk if that's a good or bad thing

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Dec 28 2023

I actually really loved this and didn't expect to! it had the perfect amount of slight weirdness for me

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Dec 29 2023

There's a lot of david bowie I like and none of it is really here

Aja by Steely Dan
Dec 30 2023

uhhh yeah it's steely dan. I've never really found a way to hook into steely dan and I still haven't! they're fine!

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Jan 01 2024

I don't know if I would listen to this album again, but it was fascinating to listen to

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jan 02 2024

sorry i do just love a concept album

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 03 2024

I'll give it this: it did grow on me. I still didn't love it though

Vulnicura by Björk
Jan 05 2024

Bjork is good. bonus .5 points for that cat music video. rounded down though

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jan 06 2024

I mean. cool idea I guess but this is tiring

Signing Off by UB40
Jan 07 2024

I was enjoying this for the first 20 mins but I just don't have the ear for this style and it gets really repetitive

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jan 09 2024

Listening to reggae and eagles back to back made this even better

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jan 11 2024

I was pretty mid on this, so I’d put it as 2 star vibes, but with 1 or 2 songs that were enjoyable enough to bring it to a 3

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Jan 12 2024

I’d mostly only listened to covers of fairytale of ny before this, but this makes me want to spend more time with them

Berlin by Lou Reed
Jan 17 2024

I like big crescendos and the motifs but I don't think I like the topics much at all. nor some of the other choices made

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 21 2024

I feel like I've heard most of this incidentally and it's fine. generally I like covers of lcd soundsystem more than the originals though

xx by The xx
Jan 22 2024

I used to really like this album a lot but it's been a while since I listened to and now I find it kind of... boring?

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jan 26 2024

i mean

Marquee Moon by Television
Jan 28 2024

This was really good! I'm adding a few of these to my library

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jan 29 2024

it's... jazz. i don't know how to talk about jazz. it was perfectly good for working to

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jan 30 2024

I don't know if I could listen to this a lot, but I did really enjoy it as a whole

Jan 31 2024

I just like this album a lot. it's not my favorite of theirs so it's really like a 4.5 but I can't put that so (screen violence is just better because laura sings everything, sorry)

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Feb 01 2024

this simply did not give me any strong feelings

Tommy by The Who
Feb 02 2024

![](natasha_lyonne_thursday_what_a_concept.jpg) it's still a good concept album, and I really enjoy a concept album

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Feb 04 2024

I mostly enjoyed this! I like weird chaotic mess sometimes. unfortunately i cannot stand the pretension here so. 3 stars instead of 4

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Feb 07 2024

this is the most fuckin 80s. i don't think there was anything that I hated but I was fully bored

B-52's by The B-52's
Feb 08 2024

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 14 2024

Aug 03 2024

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Aug 05 2024

I liked the music! I don't want to think about the lyrics

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Aug 06 2024

American Girl is bumping this up like, half a star at least. I don't hate later tom petty but there wasn't quite enough going on here for me

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Aug 09 2024

idk I liked the covers but I don't know if it deserves to be on here

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Aug 13 2024

sorry i cannot stand the police I'm 5 songs in and not finishing this

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 06 2024

I wish this wasn't quite as long, but I did have a good time

Elephant by The White Stripes
Sep 07 2024
Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Sep 08 2024

started off strong but I fell off a lot after the first 3 songs

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Sep 09 2024

sorry this was fine but you lose a star for using a marching band like that

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Sep 10 2024

Yeah I've listened to all of these before. Little Richard is great

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Sep 13 2024

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Sep 14 2024

Protection by Massive Attack
Sep 18 2024

I'm just not excited by soft noise sorry

Who's Next by The Who
Sep 21 2024

I think I like this less than I thought I did. Baba O'Riley and Behind Blue Eyes still good but there's a lot of kinda boring stuff in here too, and it doesn't feel as cohesive as I wanted

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Sep 29 2024

I've been left with 0 lasting impressions

Cross by Justice
Oct 03 2024
