Tonight's The Night by Neil Young

Love a Neil Young album day!! Especially this one. A creative masterpiece, all the songs slap, maybe my favorite Neil album front to back.

Fatlip from Pharcyde said it best: "Your mama is so big and fat that she can get busy with twenty-two burritos, but times are rough I seen her in the back of Taco Bell with handcuffs". Preach Fatlip. Love these guys, they're clearly having a blast making this album and messin around lyrically on most songs. Passin' Me By is a juggernaut - on of the best hip hip beats of all time. My sister Becky (fortheloveofmusicqb) and I saw Pharcyde in college together at a small club in C Springs -32 Blue. These songs all remind me of those days.

So Much For The City by The Thrills

Santa Cruz is a great song. Reminds me of my college days - I learned it from my shuttle bus driver - who would blast this song everyday in 2003. The rest of the album is mediocre indie pop rock. Honestly, this made me nervous that many of my favorite 21st century albums will not be on this list. - which i guess is ok - since this is about learning new things.

All Ratings (1015)

Illmatic by Nas
Oct 22 2023

One of my favorite albums of the 90s

Oct 28 2023

I bought this CD the day it came out over my lunch break in high school. 'Stan', "Way I Am' &"B&ych Please 2: still dope. Rest of this album is absolutely wild. I can't believe 'Kim' is a real track.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Oct 30 2023

Another scary one! david bowie's all over this - 3

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Oct 31 2023

Makes me want to put on my finest suit, pour a bourbon and a grab cigar for an after supper swing party. I don't love big band jazz, but Basie is an incredible pianist and band leader. 3

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 03 2023

I respect Buddy Holly's influence on rock, and Grateful Dead's version of Not Fade Away - one of the best live concert moments to experience - would not exist without the original, but I don't need to hear this version unless I'm at a Steak & Shake, about once every 15 years is plenty.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Nov 07 2023

I've listened to this album so many times the songs are starting to lose some appeal. Still really enjoy it though, one of my favorites from that era - "Ragged Wood" - all time banger

Real Life by Magazine
Nov 09 2023

This was new to me, and I really liked it. Captures the post-punk sound of the moment (Clash, Television) with their own memorable spin. On my list to dive in more in the future.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Nov 10 2023

oh yoshimi, they don't believe me - I tried to make this my jam in college but couldn't connect with it. Now back here listening again I like it more....'Do you realize' one of the greatest cheesy songs of all time- could be the theme song for this group. Also, really creative musically throughout.

Nov 11 2023

About perfect for me. This has been a favorite of mine since my youth, and somehow it keeps getting better. A collection of very dark but also uplifting songs. Every song is special, but Try Not to Breath, Sweetness Follows, Nightswimming and Find the River -all-timers, cue all the tears. damn.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Nov 12 2023

Great vocals and psychedelic vibes, but nothing that memorable.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Nov 13 2023

New discovery for me. Not bad “Tinseltown in the rain” is kind of a jam

Nov 14 2023

First half of the album is an easy 5 for me, the rest is good, not great. Love Elton John, and got to see his last show in Kentucky, it was incredible.

Metallica by Metallica
Nov 16 2023

I've never been a metal fan, but I don't mind listening through this album every few years. Some absolute classics.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Nov 17 2023

Who can forget that video! The album builds and builds with each song. 'Shadowboxer' and 'Never is a Promise' big highlights. She's awesome - incredible voice, creative as hell, and her later albums are even better.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Nov 19 2023

Love this album and all of its weirdness. Starting with carnival horror music and transitioning to soft piano jazz by end, with the full spectrum in between. I don't know wtf was going on in his head during writing/recording, but I love the ride.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Nov 21 2023

Eddie Vedder

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Nov 23 2023

Love it. He’s British, but this album is pure NYC nostalgia for me, everytime I listen (which is still once a year at least) I feel like I’m walking around Central Park in the Fall. Bought this cd the week I moved to NY in 2007 on a bartender recommendation - at Kim’s on Broadway. Highly recommend to not skip this one! technically there are a couple skippable songs on here, but its mostly gems throughout. A classic for fans of the Beatles and early 2000s indie rock.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Nov 26 2023

I appreciate this albums place in history, and if it we're 1986 and we were listening to this for the first time, I'm sure it would be mind blowing, but today I can't listen to a whole Run DMC album straight through. I like them one song at a time, during random times in my life. I learned through the Wikipedia that Rick Rubin produced this album when he was 23! (and he'd been at it for a few years)...crazy, that guy is a genius and has the most amazing music resume (seriously check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin_production_discography). Also, they finally got Jam Master Jay's killer... so that's cool!

Third by Portishead
Nov 27 2023

Who knew Portishead kept making music after the early 90s? Good for them, because I really enjoyed this one.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Nov 28 2023

I saw J5 in college and have this cd. They put on an exciting live show, but as an album, this is mostly boring beats and cheesy hooks. Scratching my head on how this one found its way on the list. I've always seen these guys as watered down atcq/roots - and this is like their 2nd or 3rd best album - weird.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Nov 29 2023

Not nearly as interesting (or good imo) as the last Tom Waits, but this one might be more palatable. Love 'Jersey Girl' - and check out Bruce Springsteen's version if you haven't so good.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 30 2023

Man....raise your hand if you miss "Murder Ballads" ✋. (im jk - I know you all hated it). Seriously though, Nick lost his gritty edge on this one. Lyrics are pretty good, but music is meh. The good news is we only 17 Nick Cave and Tom Waits albums to go....

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 01 2023

Love America

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Dec 02 2023

first timer, really liked and cant wait to listen again. Slowly builds for the first several songs and then explodes with "A Forest" a fuckin gem. Great vibe throughout.

Horses by Patti Smith
Dec 04 2023

I didn't fully appreciate Patti Smith until I saw her live about 10 years ago. Her passion is electric. One of the all-time great performers. This is her Mona Lisa, but not always easy on the ears if you're coming in cold.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Dec 05 2023

This album is about perfect for me anytime, but even better with a joint, a cocktail and a warm fire. Lue Reed is a boss.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Dec 06 2023

A classic. Love Steve Earle's song writing and voice. Progressive country, but also one of the early Americana albums. this one influenced so much of the music i like today (REK, Jeff Tweedy, tyler childers, jason isbell, avett bros, Jim james etc etc..).

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Dec 07 2023

such a dreamy, 'fuzzy bruce springsteen' vibe. Been revisiting this one often since it came out.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Dec 08 2023

I remember the singles, the rest just kind of felt like Oasis songs I've never heard. Not a bad thing, it was just boring.

Aja by Steely Dan
Dec 12 2023

So good. The ultimate yacht rock album. Transports me to another time and place.

Close To You by Carpenters
Dec 15 2023

I like how it got a little psychedelic on that last song, just for the last 90 seconds or so. Basically saying, we sing sweet songs, but we also like drugs sometimes. Ironically, Karen Carpenter died of an overdose at 33 in 1983- there were early signs.

Doolittle by Pixies
Dec 16 2023

Unapologetically love this album. "Hey", "Wave of Mutiliation", "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and "Debaser" are all amongst my favorite 80s songs. Every song has a different feel, but the energy remains the same. Its loud and punk throughout but with tender touches. The vocal duality of Black Francis and Kim Deal is magical. Such a fun band and album. 4.5 stars but I'm rounding up on this one.

Debut by Björk
Dec 17 2023

...and an excellent debut it was!

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Dec 18 2023

I know this is considered one of the greatest albums of all time, and I deeply respect it, nearly perfectly executed, great funk beats, and Stevie's voice is one of a kind. But, I've listened to this now 3-4 times, and outside of a few tracks (Living for the City, Don't You Worry About a Thing - both slap) the rest just doesn't do it for me. Excited to dig into the rest of Stevie's 70s catalogue, but won't revisit this one unless I do this list again. Can see my opinion changing on this one as I get older though

Harvest by Neil Young
Dec 19 2023

I went through RS top 500 albums in 2020 including the 7 Neil Young albums on the list. While I had previously loved some of his songs, going through his best albums gave me a new appreciation for him, which quickly led to an obsession. He was the biggest and best surprise of the entire list. Bought several of his records after that and went on an intense binge (maybe driven by covid loneliness) and listened to his entire catalogue (30+ albums) - They're all good. 'Harvest' is the perfect album to start with. Not my favorite NY album, maybe not even in my top 5, but one of his most generally loved. Perfect opener with "Out on the Weekend" and then each track builds, not a dud on here - highlights are the hits, + "Alabama" "Harvest" "Man Needs a Made" "Needle" "Words". . Got to see Neil Young for the first time this year and he played 'Heart of Gold' a very special moment for me - right after a surprise appearance by Bob Dylan and warming up for Willie Nelson. The best part...this is just the tip of the ice berg.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Dec 21 2023

very relaxing. Nice background noise for a stressful day.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Dec 22 2023

Santa Cruz is a great song. Reminds me of my college days - I learned it from my shuttle bus driver - who would blast this song everyday in 2003. The rest of the album is mediocre indie pop rock. Honestly, this made me nervous that many of my favorite 21st century albums will not be on this list. - which i guess is ok - since this is about learning new things.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Dec 23 2023

daddy Miles cooked up a good sound here.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Dec 24 2023

First, Happy Christmas Eve. Second, the kids are into records again, so I started a new tradition with my two nieces last Christmas, we go out and pick an album on vinyl and I buy it for them. 'Queen is Dead' was my 13yo niece Amelia's top choice (Pixies Doolittle was also on her list). One thought, poor old Morrissey probably doesn't know exactly how Joan of Arc felt but "Bigmouth strikes again" is still a banger- and -very fitting for someone who's infamous for saying dumb things - "Light that Never Goes Out" might be the most emo of all the emo songs of all time.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Dec 25 2023

Its dark avant garde and really artsy. Predicting most people won't like, but very interesting discovery for me though. I always held Les Claypool (Primus/Oysterhead) as one of the most creative musicians of all time. I didn't love this, but it so closely resembled Primus that I assumed this must be a big Les Claypool influence - turns out YES, this was like his favorite band. Which is crazy if you know Primus, this is almost a total rip off (Primus is just slightly less dark, more commercially friendly, and cleaner singing).

Dec 26 2023

I was kind of shy about giving this one a 5, but its kind of a 5 right? The best Christmas album of all time? I mean a new Christmas tradition was born for me.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Dec 28 2023

I like this band, I like their sound, I don’t love this album. starts out really preachy and repetitive, too much beat poetry sprinkled in (ol Johnny clearly going for a Patti smith-horses vibe - and getting away from the Sex Pistols sound that made him famous). The album gets better though, “annalisa” and “public image” are great songs). Shocked the scores are so low. anyway, The next PIL album is way better -dare i say ‘great, (second edition), no preach talking and a solid vibe throughout.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Dec 30 2023

Peak 90s alternative. Big Radiohead fan since high school and this one hasn’t lost anything for me over the years. Every second choreographed into perfect succession. One of the greatest albums of all time.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jan 01 2024

I don't know PJ Harvey that well but I like her vibe. She was huge in the UK in the 90s, I think she's got a few on this list.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 02 2024

Love this discovery. Strings added new dimension to these songs. Would definitely check out a Metallica concert with strings. Energy out of control. Will definitely revisit this one.

21 by Adele
Jan 04 2024

She's a phenomenal singer. Some classics on here, I'm just tired of hearing them.

Jan 05 2024

Fatlip from Pharcyde said it best: "Your mama is so big and fat that she can get busy with twenty-two burritos, but times are rough I seen her in the back of Taco Bell with handcuffs". Preach Fatlip. Love these guys, they're clearly having a blast making this album and messin around lyrically on most songs. Passin' Me By is a juggernaut - on of the best hip hip beats of all time. My sister Becky (fortheloveofmusicqb) and I saw Pharcyde in college together at a small club in C Springs -32 Blue. These songs all remind me of those days.

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

These guys can play funk, just sounded a little boring against all of these other great ones.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Jan 07 2024

I prefer prog-rock Peter Gabriel with Genesis, but this was ok.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jan 08 2024

I like it now. First listened in 2020 and hated it. A lot going on, it's artsy, had to listen to it twice (loud the second time) to catch many of the nuances. Very cool things happening as the album unfolds.

I am a U2 fan and I believe there are 4 or 5 really good, and some great, U2 albums. This is not one of them. Outside of a couple classics (Elevation, In a Little While) this album kind of bores me - much like most stuff they released after 2000.

Pump by Aerosmith
Jan 11 2024

This was a surprisingly fun listen. I like it. I would go see the Aerosmith farewell tour, they were supposed to be at YUM last weekend, but Steven Tyler got Larynx damage so they delayed it to later in the year.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jan 12 2024

There was no screaming and their sound was not primal - but I really enjoyed this.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jan 14 2024

Missy is a hell of rapper, Timbaland is a hell of a producer. RIP Magoo & Aaliyah

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jan 16 2024

Jim Morrison's last album.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 18 2024

I used to be obsessed with this album. Still great, not elite. Tonight, Zero, Bullet, and Muzzle still pump me up

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jan 19 2024

Liked it. Cool concept and definitely created a vibe, up there with some to the good instrumental soundtracks.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jan 20 2024

so good. Way ahead of its time - revolutionary. The best Beastie Boys album, and IMO best hip-hop album of the 80s.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Jan 22 2024

Not a thrash metal fan at all, but the shredding is absolutely insane here( especially on Raining Blood) which rips hard. I never sit down and listen to this, but if slayer was at a rock festival is was at, I might take a peak for a few mins

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 23 2024

He's got an incredible voice, in your eyes / sledgehammer are very good songs, but outside of that, this album is very boring (putting this after two metal albums probably didn't help). Early 70s prog-rock Genesis is peak Peter Gabriel and nothing in his solo catalogue comes close to it.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jan 25 2024

Perfect weather for my favorite Tom Waits album. Rain Dogs is Tom Waits at his creative/weird peak (along with Swordfishtrombone). It might seem like this is a bunch of goofing around, but like an abstract painting by Picasso -with colors -, every moment here is meticulously arranged into a brilliant mirage of sound. It evokes emotion (maybe emotion you don't always want to feel) - but I love where it takes me mentally. Tom Waits is a musical genius, and his vocal range and composing ability are almost alien. Changing his vocal style entirely and musical genre on every song, but somehow still weaving a perfect tapestry like an eclectic patch quilt. The appreciation and respect I have for this guy, because of this period (83-85), is right up there with Neil Young (72-79), Bowie (71-77) and Bjork (95-01) during their creative peaks. There's nothing else like it and there never will be.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jan 26 2024

Really good 70s rock. Love Stephen Stills. Didn't know this album.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jan 27 2024

Love Disorder and She's lost control. I just never really liked Ian CUrtis' voice. Ironically, New Order is my favorite 80s band (Joy division post-Ian Curtis).

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jan 29 2024
Odelay by Beck
Jan 30 2024

Pure nostalgia. Love this album.

Jan 31 2024

This was the first vinyl Rachael and I bought together as a couple. Very special memories. Amazing singing from a legend who was gone way too soon. Other than 2 songs, this is an album of covers, which IMO, Otis puts his signature on and they are my preferred versions especially, "Change is Gonna Come", "Down in the Valley", "I've Been Loving You too Long" and "My Girl". Ironically the one song he did write on this album "Respect", is not as memorably as the other songs, at least not until Aretha put her spin on it and made it legendary.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 01 2024

This album gets better every time I hear it. "The Ledge", "Sara" "Storms" "I Know I'm Not Wrong", "Tusk", many of my favorite FM songs. It's a departure from their previous albums. You all should definitely read this Wikipedia - Lindsey Buckingham was a maniac during the recording apparenetly "For certain songs, Buckingham played a Kleenex box" "Early on, he came in and he'd freaked out in the shower and cut off all his hair with nail scissors. He was stressed" was determined to make the band sound less like "Rumors" and more like the Talking Heads.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Feb 02 2024

I'm sure these songs are fun live, with a heavy dance bass and Beyonce being Beyonce - but I can't get into it here. I'm generally not a fan of her voice, and the rapping makes me cringe.

The Clash by The Clash
Feb 03 2024

The Clash get so much better.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Feb 04 2024

I actually like elevator music, and this in particular, was pretty groovy.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Feb 05 2024

I really liked this. New to me, can see how this was a big influence on REM and a lot of 80s rock to come.

Fragile by Yes
Feb 06 2024

Yes! I think the original album was just the first three tracks. Those tracks were made for me, the perfect blend of rock, pop, psychedelia and jamming. Absolutely love it. The rest of the songs are good too.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Feb 07 2024

DIg it. Sabu was a rhythmic machine.

Feb 08 2024

I really liked some of these songs in college, now they're barely listenable. Akso, I remember being pissed that these were two solo albums (how can you even call that Outkast). Speakerboxx: 2/5 Love Below: 3/5 All other real Outkast albums that came before this: 5/5

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Feb 09 2024

One of my favorite classic rock albums. Eric Clapton + Duane Allman = pure gold! Duane died the next year so they never got to collaborate again, but we can dream of how amazing it would have been...

Who's Next by The Who
Feb 10 2024

Classic. Every song is good

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Feb 11 2024

Absolutely fine, toe tapping good music. Nothing more, nothing less.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Feb 13 2024

Elvis past his prime is still Elvis. Such a powerful voice.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Feb 14 2024

I liked it. This album is only 15 mins long. Which was nice.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Feb 18 2024

I love Zappa! but yes, not for everybody. Love the albums concept and how it was essentially mocking "psychedelic rock"" of the late 60s.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Feb 19 2024

Love Lou Reed. I wouldn’t listen to this outside of this project much, but he creates interesting mellow songs

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 20 2024

Huge Damon Albarn fan and love almost everything he touches, but I would put all the Blur albums and the next Gorillaz album ahead of this one. Still love 19-2000 tho

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Feb 22 2024

Gets better every time I hear it. Used to dislike ZZ Top, but this album got it all.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Feb 24 2024

Holy Shit! Three of the best at their instrument during their prime. Thelonious Monk (piano), Sonny Rollins (sax) and Max Roach (drums) (+ a few others) in 1957- Jazz doesn't get much better than this. Brilliant Corners, Ba-Lu Bolivar and Bemsha Swing are three of my all-time favorite jazz compositions. Enjoyed this with a glass of bourbon and some mood lighting. I had this on repeat all day.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Feb 26 2024

Man. Father & Son is a great song. Hard to top that ending Father & Son > Tea for the Tillerman - great for a Sunday night.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Feb 27 2024

We got spoiled with all of this Stevie Wonder so early. My favorite album of his.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 28 2024

Always amazed that that voice comes out of that person. What a legend!

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Feb 29 2024
Beautiful Freak by Eels
Mar 01 2024

I liked. Way ahead of its time as far as indie/emo rock is concerned.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 03 2024

The first Bob Dylan cd I ever bought (in college) and my favorite to this day. In fact my favorite album of the 1970s. Every song is a classic. 10/10 lyrics 10/10 music. Love how Bob Dylan reinvents himself musically every few years (how he sings and how he plays), but at the core of everything he does and the one thing that never changes is the genius of his lyrics. This one is all about his divorce from Sara in 74, extremely personal, but also relatable.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Mar 04 2024

I liked this. I remembered "All I Know" from alt rock radio back in the day. Its a solid album reminiscent of QOTSA and Audioslave, two of my favorites from the early 00s. Interesting that this preceded those by a few years, and clearly can hear it's influence in each.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Mar 05 2024

Great album. Chris Cornell arguably, the best grunge voice.

The Doors by The Doors
Mar 06 2024

Great album. No skips.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Mar 07 2024

Personality Crisis and Trash are great songs. The rest of the album is OK. Also, love David Johannson's voice.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 09 2024

4.5 this is almost as good as it gets. So smooth.

Mar 10 2024

Very Good. Especially "Cowboy Movie" - two of the songs were greyed out on my Spotify so I had to go to youtube.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Mar 11 2024
All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Mar 13 2024

I love this album - just good music. Disc 1 is nearly perfect,And then moving to disc two, my favorite song on the album - "All Things Must Pass". One of the best (if not the best) Beatles related projects.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Mar 14 2024

Hey - I've never listened to Slipknot - I was coming in expecting to hate it. However, the drumming and guitar playing is absolutely spectacular. I put this on while I worked and was insanely productive. Not sure this will be in my rotation any time soon - but hey I appreciate it, and I see where you're coming from Maggots (this is what Slipknot people call themselves).

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 15 2024

Another great one. Never gets old.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Mar 19 2024

Solid 4. grammy 2011 album of the year. It's really good, still enjoy it. 'City with No Children' and 'Sprawl II' have been in my rotation since it came out - great songs.

Mar 21 2024

Maggie Mae is such a great song. A few other good ones on this album, but, I only really need to hear Maggie Mae before I die.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Mar 22 2024

I love these guys. They're even better live. If they ever tour again, defnitely worth it!

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 23 2024

The first Beatles cd I bought, my favorite in my teens, and still one of the greatest today. Every song means something to me. Great stuff.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Mar 24 2024

I knew nothing about this band, but they sound like a Smiths knock off. I guess they come up at the same time in Brittain. This wasn't nearly as good.

1977 by Ash
Mar 28 2024

wow. very, very Replacements-y. Which i like - but nothing groundbreaking by 1996.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Mar 29 2024

Not my thing, but Serj Tankian has a one of a kind rock voice.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Mar 31 2024

The four best songs on this album are all Bob Dylan covers. I go back to the Byrds version of 'Spanish Harlem Incident' and 'Chimes of Freedom' often.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Apr 01 2024

Neil Young created the perfect sound for late-thirties Albert. It is this album.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Apr 04 2024

Enjoyed this and can hear the big influence it must have had on indie/folk rock that followed it, including Freightened Rabbit (my favorite Scottish folk rock band). Loved the Van Morrison cover. The violin makes everything sound more epic. 3.5 and rounding up.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Apr 05 2024

I really enjoyed this today. Maybe a 3 on another day, but we going 4 on this chilly april Friday - cause that HEAT warmed me right up.

Apr 06 2024

This is the Dylan album that cemented his legacy and made him a cultural and political icon, his first album of originals, and he was only 22. Obviously a lot of classics on here, including two of my all time favs "Hard Rain" and "Don't Think Twice". The best part, this isn't even in my top 10 Dylan albums.

Apr 07 2024

Some interesting moments here, but overall couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll give it another try in the future!

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Apr 08 2024

Pretty Good. Passenger is a long time favorite.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Apr 09 2024

This is the Band's first album after being Bob Dylan's backing band (with three of these songs written by Bob Dylan). I love the Weight, and their cover of I Shall Be Released, but outside those two, I'm not a huge fan of the rest.

Apr 10 2024

Really liked some of this. But really hated other parts. The flava flav "ha ha" and "ya boyeee"s got really annoying by the end. Chuck D's rapping is awesome though.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Apr 11 2024

Some interesting stuff on here. Wasn't really into the sad British boy songs, but liked the punk/NY dolls-ish songs 2.5.

Faith by George Michael
Apr 12 2024
Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Apr 13 2024

Love Jack White, incredible guitar player, and fun live concert. Don't love this album.

Apr 15 2024

One of the great folk records. Love Richard Thompson's song writing, and he and Linda's voices are perfect for the somber/hopeful mood they're setting.

Marquee Moon by Television
Apr 16 2024

This album has grown on me over the years. Love Marquee Moon especially. RIP Tom Verlaine.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 17 2024

Not my thing, but I can see why it was on the list. Felt like a very progressive record for the time - both musically and lyrically.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Apr 18 2024

Love the bluesy vibes on this record. Stones revert from their psychedelic ways back to bluesy roots rock, which will define their 70s sound and next several records which are all great.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Apr 19 2024

Nice straight piano concert by a jazz legend.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Apr 21 2024

this is Sonic Youth at some of their weird best. It's noisy and strange, but it triggers all the right feels for me, when I'm in the mood. I hope they tour again before its too late, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore are legends.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Apr 22 2024

Love the beats on this, and of all the WTC alum, Ghostface might be the rawest.

Apr 23 2024

If you need a good cry this morning go watch the video for "Hurt" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHCfZTRGiI. One of the last things he and June flimed a few months before they died. Cash's version of the Nine Inch Nails song is incredible in its own right, but the video is one of the best ever made (especially for Cash fans and those that know his story). This is his last album, its all solid. He is one of the rare singers whose voice continued to get better as he got older. Go see your favorite artists live - they won't be around forever.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Apr 25 2024

First time hearing. Not bad, I'm in o the punk sound of the late 70s and this seemed on par with other more popular bands at the time.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Apr 27 2024

Great album through and through. Probably my 4th or 5th favorite Led Zeppelin album, and I guess I'll reserve 5s for my top 3. 4.5

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Apr 29 2024

This was some fine background noise today. While I didn't understand the lyrics, I would have liked to see an interpretation of what was being sung about in Segalese.

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 30 2024

When I listen to 70s punk, this is the album I compare everything too - the definitive punk album. Nearly perfect in every way, relisten about once a year.

With The Beatles by Beatles
May 04 2024

Of all the Bealtes studio albums, this is easily ranked dead last for me. And that doesn't mean its bad (Love Lennon's cover of Money - and McCartney's All My Lovinge and Harrison's Don't Bother Me). Early Beatles has nothing on creative/psychadelic Beatles. Also, this is the only Beatles album comprised mostly of covers. Of course, 99% of their catalogue is originals, so this album just doesn't do them justice in anyway shape or form.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
May 05 2024

I didn't know it. Some interesting sounds, but nothing that captured my attention very much on a first listen.

Green by R.E.M.
May 07 2024

Similar vibes to Automatic for the People. Not quite as good, but a fun listen.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
May 08 2024

Clearly an incredibly talented song writer and performer. Just not my thing.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
May 09 2024

More Zappa - love it.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
May 10 2024

Had "Frontier Psychiatrist" on repeat in high school and put it on a bunch of mix tapes one year. Still love it and this album.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
May 11 2024

Prima's got that legendary swing voice.

May 12 2024

Very Nick Drake inspired. Some cool lyrics, but don't love the melancholy vibe. My second time hearing this in the last few years, put on my do not repeat list, but decided to give it one more shot. Same outcome.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
May 15 2024

Better than I expected. I haven't explored this band in any detail before, just know the hits.

Hms Fable by Shack
May 17 2024

I kind of liked this, especially the last few songs.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
May 19 2024

Love this album. One of my favs on vinyl the last few years for evening listening. Probably 4.5

Kala by M.I.A.
May 20 2024

deep bass beats and cool rhymes. Don't love her voice, but yes Paper Planes is dope (even tho the beat is ripped from The Clash)

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
May 21 2024

I love Tears for Fears. There are a couple week spots on this album, but not many. Head over Heels and Everybody Wants to Rule the World, are all timers.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 23 2024

The Uk version opens with "Mother's Little Helper" the US version opens with "Paint it Black" equally awesome songs, its strange one wasn't included on the other, and vice versa. Really good Stones album overall. other highlights, Under My Thumb, out of time, high and dry, I'm Waitng. I listened to both US and UK versions to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
May 24 2024

Saw Rufus back in college when he was touring this album. Fantastic performer - really enjoy his singing and songwriting. This is not his best album (Imo), but definitely him in his peak era, and maybe at his most vulnerable, lyrically.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 25 2024

The perfect album. Every song is dripping with passion and impeccable musicianship, one great song transitioning into another, i get lost in it everytime. Last Goodbye is one of best songs of the 90s, but Grace is my favorite track today - that changes every couple of years with so many choices.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 26 2024

45 year old Neil Young put out one of the best grunge records of the 90s. Its spot on dirty garage rock, with highlights being White Line, Love and Only Love, F&%in Up, Love to Burn, Mansion on a Hill....some of Crazy Horse's best stuff since the mid-70s. I guess this was heavily influential on Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain, right before their big breaks. I'm obviously a Neil Young & CH fan, but I didn't fully appreciate this album until just 3 weeks ago, when I saw the band live -for the first time - down in Huntsville, and they played three tracks from this one. They still rock hard and put on a helluva show, it was incredibly special.

Goo by Sonic Youth
May 27 2024

Love their vibe. Great stuff.

May 28 2024

One of the best albums of all time. This is one of the first CDs I ever remember listening to. My dad's favorite, and one of mine today. Really just amazing music, Ray Charles is great.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
May 30 2024

Pretty good rock & roll

Elastica by Elastica
May 31 2024

Classic 90s alt rock, definitely sets the vibe for the era

Heroes by David Bowie
Jun 01 2024
Boston by Boston
Jun 04 2024
My Generation by The Who
Jun 08 2024

early Who, is just ok, but still pretty good

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jun 09 2024

fahn fahn fahn off the autobahn

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jun 10 2024

OK. I liked the last primal scream album better.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jun 11 2024

It's great. Pure folk music from the heart.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 12 2024

Love this album, can’t believe it’s been 7 years, long overdue for a new one!

Jun 14 2024

This was great! SAULT has a bunch of albums from the last 4_5years. Everything I’ve heard has been this good

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 18 2024

Great album. Always loved 'the Chauffer'. Put on a helluva show at Bourbon & Beyond last year.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jun 21 2024

probably 4.5 so great

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jun 22 2024

One of the greatest

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jun 23 2024
Jun 24 2024

RIP Shane MacGowan - never been a huge fan of the traditional Irish stuff, but can't deny Shane's songwriting and voice - it's iconic!

Jun 27 2024

Tainted Love may be the most overplayed song of my youth. If I was hearing that song for the first time, I would probably have a more favorable opinion. Who knows...didn't love the rest either.

Mask by Bauhaus
Jun 28 2024
Parklife by Blur
Jun 30 2024

Like Damon Albarn and most Blur/Gorillaz, but this didn't pack the same punch that I remembered. Still one of his better albums but most of the songs are just meh outside of a few really good ones (Parklife, To the end, this is a low).

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Jul 01 2024

First time hearing this one. Only know a couple Supergrass songs from the 90s... Really enjoyed this one as a first listen.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jul 03 2024

For bongo/instrumental covers of 60s songs. Better than I expected.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Jul 04 2024

Holding Back the Years was a nice throw back. Overall quality music.

Jul 09 2024

Some great songs on here but they don't hit the same at 40. I feel old.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 11 2024

Yeah really love this one - first two tracks are bout perfect.

2112 by Rush
Jul 14 2024

Really good.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jul 15 2024

It's good. Saw Jack White live when he was touring this album back in 2012. Phenomenal show. Songs don't feel as exciting on the album as they do live, but not bad.

Jul 17 2024

One of his best - top 5. Every song hits for me. Incredible folk/blues rock music.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jul 19 2024

Really good first album, they get so much better too.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jul 24 2024

One of my favorites

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jul 28 2024

Really liked it. First time hearing it.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jul 31 2024

This woman's work is a great song, but I prefer the Maxwell cover. The rest is not really my vibe.

Different Class by Pulp
Aug 03 2024

Love a couple tracks on here, common people, pencil skirt and disco

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Aug 06 2024

Really great chill album.

Drunk by Thundercat
Aug 09 2024

I love Thundercat's vibe this is a really cool album. Somebody at the bar at my 40th birthday party kareokoed "Them Changes" - and I was like, dang, i didn't realize that's where we were with Thundercat, but now here we are - one of the greatest albums of all time, and it feels right.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 10 2024

Some great underated songs on this album. Promised Land is one of my favorite Bruce songs. Non-skipper front to back good stuff.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Aug 15 2024

I'm torn on this one. Lots of classics. But also some duds.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Aug 16 2024
Django Django by Django Django
Aug 18 2024

Really enjoyed this. Will relisten soon!

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Aug 26 2024

Our House still catchy as hell....but seems like this is a one-hit wonder band.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 28 2024

I actually never used to be a fan of Karen O's voice (but liked a few songs). Listening to this whole album, actually changed my mind. I do like her voice, and I really like these songs.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Aug 29 2024

Phenomenal album. The first jazz/hip hop fusion album. Was lucky to see Gang Starr in college before Guru passed. Gang Starr is really one of the best hip-hop duos of our time - and Guru -one of the most underrated rappers of all time - I stand by that. RIP Guru.

Aug 30 2024

The "Down-at-the-men-in-music-business-conference" line from "White Dress" is such a funny phrasing. Otherwise, Pretty nice chill vibe. I like LDR.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Aug 31 2024

Another one from my vinyl collection. Lots of great underrated Stones songs on here. Love Sweet Virginia, Tumbling Dice, Torn & Frayed, Shine a Light, Loving Cup.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Sep 02 2024
Blur by Blur
Sep 03 2024

I love Blur & Gorillaz (All the Damon Albarn bands). But this is not my favorite album.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Sep 06 2024

I liked the Old Kentucky Home version at the end.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Sep 08 2024

Wasn't able to get through this one.

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Sep 09 2024

Its not bad, it just sounds outdated for the time- like a relic from the early 80s. With all the other great hip hop of 1988/1989 (Beastie Boys, NWA, Public Enemy, EPMD), I don't see how they were included on this list.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Sep 11 2024

smoooooth jazz.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Sep 12 2024

Love Leanord Cohen AKA 'Dark Bob Dylan'

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Sep 13 2024

Really like this album. Sonic Youth fan here.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 14 2024
GI by Germs
Sep 15 2024

Like the old school punk, but not like something I want to sit down and listen too. Never heard of the band so i read about em, apparently lead singer died of an intentional heroine overdose the day before john lennon.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Sep 16 2024

Like all the bluegrass stars of the time making cameos and playing some fun old-time bluegrass.

Bossanova by Pixies
Sep 17 2024

Velouria is a great song.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Sep 20 2024

One of the best folk albums of all time IMO

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Sep 24 2024

Far from the best Talking Heads album but a couple cool moments, Cities, Lifetime During Wartime, Heaven

Graceland by Paul Simon
Sep 25 2024

Love this album, front to back. Paul Simon's masterpiece.

Sep 29 2024

A couple of musical geniuses creating together doesn't automatically make it interesting.

The Bends by Radiohead
Oct 07 2024

I always loved it, still do. Every song.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Oct 10 2024
Connected by Stereo MC's
Oct 11 2024

Good reminder on national mental health day to keep that mind connected. Outside of the two singles I remember (which are great nostalgia songs) I didn’t really love this

Scum by Napalm Death
Oct 16 2024
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Oct 19 2024

Really enjoyed this.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Oct 25 2024

Love these reimagined Beach Boys songs, from the Beach Boys creative mastermind 40 yrs after the originals.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Oct 28 2024

I like some todd Rundgren stuff, but this is a little too crazy, even for me. Interesting sounds, but not that enjoyable.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 31 2024
Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Nov 01 2024

Love "dark Bob Dylan". Famous Blue Raincoat - great song. Love the whole vibe, perfect for fall and Halloween.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 04 2024

It's good.

Great album. Such a cornerstone of the 2010s and big influence on a lot of the vibey music i listen to today (khruangbin etc).

Nov 28 2024
Spiderland by Slint
Dec 11 2024

Slint! From Louisville! Really like this album. You can hear the influence it had on a lot of early mid-90s indie/alternative - weezer/nada surf etc..

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Dec 25 2024

The guy from There’s Something About Mary put out a good punk album in the 70s

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Dec 28 2024

Really like a couple of these songs(esp where do i begin) but the whole album vibe is a little too jittery for me.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 01 2025
Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jan 05 2025

Good jammin

High Violet by The National
Jan 06 2025

Didn't love their live show, but they record great music.

Suicide by Suicide
Jan 09 2025

I kept waiting for these songs to burst into some rock & roll, but instead just long drawn out intros that never turn into anything. Feels like an art project, and these were just some backing noises for this guy's poems. That's fine, just wasn't feeling it.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 10 2025

What a great album. I forgot how great it is.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Jan 14 2025

Love a Neil Young album day!! Especially this one. A creative masterpiece, all the songs slap, maybe my favorite Neil album front to back.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jan 18 2025
Guero by Beck

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Mar 25 2025

as somebody who loves live albums, and a Van Morrison fan, I thought this album was just ok. was expecting a lot more from something on this list.

A clifton local! But also love this record.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Sep 22 2025

69 Love Songs is a fascinating idea, but a mixed execution. There are truly great songs here—“The Book of Love” is an all-time favorite of mine—but they’re too few and far between, hidden under a lot of filler. I can’t help but wonder if the strongest tracks ever got the credit they deserved, or if they were overshadowed by the sheer sprawl of the album. Some people swear by the whole 69-song experiment, but to me it feels more like the gimmick drove the reputation than the music itself. Just my two cents.
