Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen

An album and a band i will have to explore deeper, what a blast i had

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers

That was something - RIP Richey

This isnt an Album, it's a window to a time long gone

Fragile by Yes
Oct 26 2023

Mix of short melodic Guitar Riffs and 10 minute musical journeys. Soft lyrics and gentle guitar with drums, heavy riffs inbetween

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Nov 02 2023

Quite mesmerising, like opening a time-capsule. The Album is a live-recording from the 50's, you get the experience Sarah Vaughan improvising and interacting with the audience, laughing, all probably long dead. Quite the experience. And her voice is just.. to fall in love with.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Nov 06 2023

Whole array of different vibes, amazing scratching, but more if a background noice, than anything to fall into completely

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Nov 08 2023

Damn P-Funk, can't belive I only just now heard of their existence. Each song just makes you want to move to it. You recognize so many elements from newer music, truly a staple for generations of musicians to come after. Funny to see some lingo still being used in rap today!

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Nov 10 2023

Smooth Jazz, people were probably wilding to this at the time

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 13 2023

Not necessarily my taste, but damn do does Riffs go hard holy smokes

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Nov 14 2023

Hype hype hype - you wanna punch the air and start a fire in your living room

Nov 15 2023

Haven't thought about Coldplay in years. One of my earliest music-memories, always playing on the radio in the car as a kid. They're much more vibrsnt and have greater variation in tones than I thought. Great rediscovery!

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Nov 17 2023

Love the vocal range, reminds me of Jack Stauber

Nov 24 2025

Magnificent irish voice, reminiscent of the cranberries lead singer. Minimalist instrumental. Melancolic tone. Songs of lost love

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Nov 25 2025

Nice 3 Instrument Jazz just flowing, lead changing between the 3, something you'd rather want to see live.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Nov 26 2025

Smooth black energy

Diamond Life by Sade
Nov 27 2025

Smooth operator, smoooooooooth operator

The Cars by The Cars
Nov 28 2025

Great 70's rock, gotta love it

Guero by Beck
Nov 29 2025

Amazing, chill early 2000s - laid back nostalgia

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 30 2025

One of the most influential Albums of the early 2000s, everybody knows it and can sing along. Sadly was a bit overplayed on radio, so it lacks a punch, it otherwise would have. DONT WANNA BE AN AMERICAN IDIOT

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Dec 01 2025

Huh, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is supposed to be some sort of psychadelic, hippi-epic. I don't know what I should have expected, something like Bohemian Rapsody fits the term 'epic proportions' in my mind. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida did try to open a door to some unholy dark place, but I was not the one to enter. Maybe it is something real special, in another time, in another state of mind..

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Dec 02 2025

Puh, tuff to get into at the beginning, but damn does this album tear you apart und put you back together again! Really pushing the boundaries of what can be enjoyed as music, while always holding on to a sense of melodie. An atmosphere thats really one of a kind!

Dec 03 2025

Crazy atmospheres to fall into, but not necessarily something to dance to. Partly reminds me of St. Peppers.

Doolittle by Pixies
Dec 04 2025

Amazing alt-rock. ahead of it's time, your suprised the album was released in the 80s when listening for the first time, could have just as well been released 2 days ago.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Dec 05 2025

You make me feel, you make me feeeell! Aretha Franklin's unmistakable voice over some jazzy instrumental will always feel timeless.

The Band by The Band
Dec 07 2025

Didn't know about them, but they go hard! Nice 70s rock

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Dec 08 2025

Uncharted territory for me. Scared me a few times while listening, but then it had me in a vice grip.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 09 2025

Lovely, but didn't throw me away

Cut by The Slits
Dec 11 2025

Rudimentary, trashy punk music, that somehow works. The Slits don't know how to play instruments or sing, but they know how to make music. Nothing soothing, but challenging.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 12 2025

Just Beautiful

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Dec 13 2025

It's a bittersweet symphonyyy this li-ife.. fucking banger, takes me back. Great music from a great era. Ashcroft, one of the last classic, drugged up rockstars

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Dec 14 2025

A true Epic, exploration of different instruments and combination so masterfully and gracefully done.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Dec 15 2025

Never heard of them before, but damn they go harrd. Energizing 90s rock, switching between laid-back melodies and then melodically punching you in the face again

Smash by The Offspring
Dec 16 2025

Great calofornian garage/punk rock. Bavkground guitar kinda stays in this same sharp, fast rythm througout.

Dec 17 2025

Classic, just peak 90's rap, great flows, hard hitting vocal punches, laid back beats and excelent samples. What can you say - fucking badass music making whole generations jump up and down

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Dec 18 2025

Really chill music, to indulge or just leave running in the background (one of few albums i can keep playing while studying). Melancolic voice in an uplifting way, nice acoustic guitar and a calm trumpet on one or the other occasion, what more do you need.

Dec 19 2025

Not my drift, but nice country mixed with different influences from neighbouring genres.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Dec 20 2025

Chill rock, like Talking Heads is known for. Voice is unmistakeable, textst kinda quirky sometimes.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Dec 21 2025

A album worth listening from beggining to end. Really unique sound

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Dec 23 2025

Not particularly my cup of tea, but you can't hate this kind of upbeat music from the blindest motherfucking music genius

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Dec 24 2025

Nice alt-rock, calm vocals and distorted instrumentals.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Dec 25 2025

Grunge

Dec 27 2025

With or without you I cant live eith or wothooouut you! Every single song you have at least hear once on the radio as a kid.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Dec 29 2025

Finally some music even my girlfriend can get behind. Thanks to you Goldfrapp for providing some common ground between her and me.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Dec 31 2025

Late 90s early 2000esque white girl pop music. Unarguably fantastic smoith voice, nice hip-hop elements.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 02 2026

Daamn didn't realize I missed reggae in my life

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Jan 05 2026

Mit dem Kas kannst mi jogn, a anfoch abisl zu vü Christus do drin für mein Gschmock

Jan 06 2026

Ray Charles the goat, you feel really posh having this is your background music while eating or studying, but nothing I'm crazy about. Seeing videos of him performing live is crazy tho, you see the energy flowing through him, something music close to your heart makes you feel, and I can vibe with that.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 07 2026

One of the fucking greatest Rap-Almbums of all time

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 08 2026

Newer heard of Herbie Hancock, but his shit slaps. Nice background music, to have conversations while driving, to read, etc.. Like the backdrop to the movie of ypur life.

Medúlla by Björk
Jan 09 2026

Surreal, kinda demonic accapella

Green by R.E.M.
Jan 10 2026

One of my fav Bands, not one of their best albums

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jan 11 2026

Havenr heard oh them. Very unique fushion, atmospheric

Timeless by Goldie
Jan 12 2026

Chill lowkey D&B Neuro type music. Great for studying or have something in the background, thats not to distractong but you start to move your head

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 13 2026

One of a kind duo

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jan 15 2026

Just knew about their bigger hits, but damn they have so much to offer.

Vivid by Living Colour
Jan 16 2026

Damn really slept on this one, nice mix of rock, funk and hiphop

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jan 18 2026

Slept on this one, some nice 90s rap

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Jan 19 2026

Beautiful voice, but more of a background music to me, not something to indulge in fully.

Jan 20 2026

Incredible mix of different genres feeling so fresh and alive still today

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jan 21 2026

Chill, beautiful voice, supringengly wide range of different styles, some almoust house-like, while others more rudimentary

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jan 22 2026

Rich voice, over various beats including country/folk and also more jazzy sounds. Some up-beat (hopp-hopp-hopp) type music and than also some drawn out in-the-feels kinda music.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 24 2026

Such a smooth, consistent album, damn his style is amazing

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jan 25 2026

Legends, so much from them and Young in here

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 26 2026

Just read into elliott smith and damn how could i sleep on such talent. Beatiful soft voice in a changing mixture of different genre and styles. With certain people you instantly realize how they understand music on a different level. Mastering all different kinds of instruments and blending different perspectives on music. Not only that, but Elliot is someone you realize has so much to tell you, music is his vehicle. Someone to defdinetly insulge in deeper when given the time.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jan 28 2026

An album and a band i will have to explore deeper, what a blast i had

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jan 29 2026

Overlooked, there is so much in here. A full and rich 2h joirney through this consistend mood harrison creates.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jan 31 2026

Beginnings of a legend. His iconic, cartoonishly drawn our voice (almost on a sarcastic level, like he's drunk or trying to impersonate trump, or both) over guitar. Already with his iconic mouth piece. Very folky, before his big rock hits. Not something i go crazy about, but really interesting where he came from

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Feb 01 2026

Went in with high expectations, but ended up having to force myself through the album.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Feb 02 2026

Classic, but doesnt hold up much today, there's some nicer jazz and better singers, seems more like a cult of personality to me

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Feb 05 2026

Listening to this shit drunk at 3am on the bus to the safety of your home is a hell of a ride. The whole album takes you through these different worn-dowm atmospheres and you forget about time for a while.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Feb 06 2026

My name is, my name isTschika Tschika Slim shady

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Feb 07 2026

You either love or hate Elvis. His music's not really something I care about, but you can't deny hiow iconic and recognizable his sound is.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Feb 08 2026

Some nice Jazz, great for studying, not distracting, but not too exciting either

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Feb 09 2026

Had totally forgotten.about them. Very maticulasly crafted, catchy tunes. They sound silly sometimes, but the lyrics are genius.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 11 2026

One of the earlier stones albums, not.as sufisticated as the big oned later on

Face to Face by The Kinks
Feb 12 2026

Unbearable Album with some bangers and interesting bits carefully sprinkled in

Bossanova by Pixies
Feb 14 2026

Such a consistently nice atmosphere, but no bangers that perticularly stand out

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Feb 15 2026

Really had to force myself through

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 16 2026

Classic, start of something huge

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Feb 19 2026

Eary, repetetive beats, smooth voice. Nice 2000s alt-rock

Feb 21 2026

Such a cozy, familiar vibe. Hitting me deeper, cause im listening to tjis feeding the chickens at my gf's families farm

Slipknot by Slipknot
Feb 22 2026

Kinda goes hard if you open yourself up tp it. Cringiest lyrics tho

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Feb 23 2026

Luckily got to listen to this walking alone at night, through a strange town smoking my last cigarette. Giving the whole atmosphere the perfect frame. Such a unique vibe.

Synchronicity by The Police
Feb 25 2026

Not my favorite from one of my favorite bands, but gotta listen again

Rocks by Aerosmith
Feb 26 2026

Thought id like this one better, maybe because it stands in the shadow of their earlier work, but just sounded repetetive to me

Bad by Michael Jackson
Feb 27 2026

Not the biggest fan of michael, but no doubt an all-time classic. Fav song coming out of this 'Letter to my unborn child' heee heee

Kid A by Radiohead
Feb 28 2026

Dont quite know yet what to make of it

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 07 2026

Something to come back to again, so much fun

Spiderland by Slint
Mar 09 2026

Overlooked alt rock

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Mar 10 2026

Legendary, an album defining its own category

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 12 2026

Legendary

Young Americans by David Bowie
Mar 13 2026

Intresting outreacb of Bowie, but not my favourite from him

25 by Adele
Mar 14 2026

Cant think of one occassion where I would put this on, so I have been puting this one of for a long time. And once I did listen to it - damn it blew me away, I mean, I can't think of a single person that would deny she's one of the greatest voices of our time. That said, I still don't listen to this kind of music, even though her voice got me in aw.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Mar 20 2026

Soulless, industrial pop on one hand, fucking catchy on the other. Some fun memories with ..one more time, most of the rest just went past me, maybe I was just to young to have been really hit with the britney spears train, or it was just neber something for.me

White Ladder by David Gray
Mar 22 2026

Not a big fan of this in-the-feels white-boy singer-songwriter type of music, but I can see why everybodys mum will fuck with something like this. Really is background music for looking out the train-window on a rainy day.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 23 2026

Really had to force myself

1999 by Prince
Mar 24 2026

Damn I wanna fuck this album (In parts eerily reminded me of Jack Stauber, just listen to Let's pretend we're married)

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Mar 26 2026

I think I was just raped by Alex Harvey

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Apr 02 2026

Ill have to give this anothee try, to see if it'll click for me, but at this time, this is 67 minutes of random noice to me.

Rio by Duran Duran
Apr 05 2026

At times bland, but some bangers sprinkled in there

Apr 08 2026

Bangers on Bangers, still am icon of my youth, first time going to clubs, even thoug the Albums older than me

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Apr 09 2026

That was something - RIP Richey

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Apr 10 2026

Irish fellas chasing the feel of a california that once was (if ever). Chill, cozy, poppy rock, but rather bland, even annoying at times.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Apr 14 2026

Punks with acoustic guitars

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 15 2026
Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Apr 16 2026

Huge fan of oldschool to oldish rap, so always happy to have myself recommended something like this - viby hip-hop album to shake your head to. Seemingly significant for being one of the earliest big female rapper - maybe thats why its rated quite low on here. Solid 3 from me

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Apr 18 2026

Was suprised how many songs I already knew, without ever having heard of the band. Such a destinct sound, without being random. So much fun to listen to.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Apr 20 2026

The very definition of 80s Disco

Movies by Holger Czukay
Apr 22 2026

Coooll in zhe pooil

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 23 2026

Gives of this creepy, nostalgic, distorted vibe, that makes you feel like beeing trapped in some digital realm. I like when an album creates such a destinct atmosphere and consistently builds on it from song to song.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Apr 24 2026

Classic, but besides the bangers not that breathtaking, given his career before and after

Such a nice spectrum from poppy to grungy to melancolic rock and always with such a vigorous voice, creating this unmistakable PJ Harvey-Atmosphere.

Apr 26 2026

90s rap gotta be one of my favourite genres, so I'm always gonna be biased. Man ice cubes one of the greatest, this seemingless flow, his dry humour, the tales and social comentary. This guy was everywhere when I was a kid and you can see why. Absolute legend.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Apr 27 2026

See why its so popular, but honestly sounds like the most bland, mainstream appealing form of music to me, without any rough edges. Was looking forward to finally having some indie in here, but was sadly disappointed.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 28 2026

Great stuff! R.E.M.s one of my favourite bands, and to finally get to.listem to their debut gives me another perspective on them. On the edge of a 4, but they've got so much greater stuff coming

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 02 2026

What a wild ride! These insane guitar skills, creating such a consistent atmosphere - like being high in a trance, moving yourself in a smokey club.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
May 04 2026

Hey, it's the Beatles again!

Violator by Depeche Mode
May 07 2026

Wow, i don't even know where to put them on the map of music landscape in my mind. Such a unique sound, so much fun to listen to. Instantly recognized theme, even tho I only know Enjoy the Silence from the car-radio back when I was a kid, when you wete forced to.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
May 08 2026

Ah so this is Madonna? - not to shaby

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
May 09 2026

Beastie boys of colour

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 10 2026

Not something for me to necessarily go back to or something to get wild about, but again, a fascinating window to a different time. That's such a thrilling aspect of this project, next to getting to know new tunes. Green onions I have heard many times, but Booker T? And the acctual songs name, Green onions? All new to me and I'm here fot it. People calling it elevator really got me laughing, and they've got a point - but really you have to open yourself up for these experiences, for the tale behind it and the legacy it left. And other than that - It's a damn groovy tune.

May 12 2026

Warum fühl ich was bei den Smiths obwohl ich weiß, dass Morrissey ein Arschloch ist

Very by Pet Shop Boys
May 15 2026

Digital insanity

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
May 16 2026

Im sadly not big on Led Zepplin, but man there's some all-time bangers on there

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
May 17 2026

First I thought: Great another Beatles, but no, they're really slept on. Bummer they broke up after this banger

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
May 19 2026

This isnt an Album, it's a window to a time long gone

The Yes Album by Yes
May 23 2026

This one really grew on my while listening, still wouldn't re-listen, even tho theres so much in there, it just doesnt touch me

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
May 27 2026

My mom approved

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
May 29 2026

Almost put this of early, but with this we truly have something mystical in our hands (if the portuguese language wasn't mystical enough on its own). Pure artistic innovation in times of oppression. Something to look into further, to take the time and really listen again. This is one you truely can't put in any single "genre" drawer.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jun 01 2026

Not bad at all, I mean, annoying to listen at home, this is music to mive your feat to - and outdaten one at that, but really fun seeing what these guys came up with. Nice samples and distortions, really ahead of their time considering the release year 1997. Inspiration for every hobby-MC trying to learn

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 03 2026

Well that was something

Jun 15 2026

Huh, not my usual cup o tea. Very vocal-driven music with simple, raw guitar strumming, almost like a modern bard - he is acctually more of a political poet than anything else. Many can't stand his raunchy voice and british accent, so be warned. Suprisingly very touching for me, and works very wll, without any fancy effects added in mastering. His musical range was also quite striking with Socialist Union-Songs, more mainstream-fit 'britpop'-ish music all the way to folk-songs on disc 2. 👏🏼

21 by Adele
Jun 16 2026
The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 17 2026
Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jun 18 2026

What a whicked ride! Made my roommate come out and ask "What the fuck is this noise your making?!" Really only works as an album, one Trip from start to finish. The songs on their own don't convey much, but are mearily part of a bigger landscape.

Jun 19 2026

Didn't have a bad time with this - the loops and transitions are really creative, made me laugh several times and definitely somewhat danceable. The thing is - EDM progresses so fast, that the shit you hear today at Festivals, Clubs, Parties, won't be all to relevant in a few years time, except for a nostalgic callback maybe. I don't know anyone eho listens to Avicii anymore, even though he's a legend. Similiar thing here - dont think anybody will be to impressed with this ultra-repetetive sound. For me this is more of a time-capsule, a relic maybe. Will show my DNB-Friends and see if I can get a reaction out of them. Intresting, but not listenable to me in any situation

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jun 21 2026
Connected by Stereo MC's
Jun 26 2026

Holy shit, such a Cheese-Fest. At first a was like: hm, nice funky beats, smooth voice talking over the rythm, could this hit the same spot Parliament/Funkadelic or Tribe Called Quest do so good, but I was disappointed. The lyrics are such on the nose, cheesy bullshit and the rythms are nothing I havent heard before

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 29 2026

Great find, really pressing atmosphere - not what I normaly listem to - but that's what this project is all about
