Pump by Aerosmith
Oct 26 2023

pales in comparison with toys in the attic and frankly not sure why it's on this list. 2/5

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 27 2023

iconic walk this way cover, and "tricky" is all time. I respect its place in history but the rest of the tracks don't speak to me

GREY Area by Little Simz
Oct 30 2023

4/5. Never heard this before, production is really really cool and enjoyed the flow a lot.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Oct 31 2023

Some all-time songs. At its best, god-tier, at its worst, a teensy bit saccharine.

GI by Germs
Nov 01 2023

I regret to report I could not make it through the first minute. Not for me!

Quiet Life by Japan
Nov 02 2023

love the title track! guitars reminded me of Jai Paul, and cool electronic elements. Wasn't as struck by the rest of the album. 3/5

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Nov 03 2023

Has some good moments. The thing I don't get about this is there are so many better (imo) psychedelic folk albums of this era. He certainly sounds in a lot of (emotional) pain, and that comes across in the music, but not in a way that I thought deserved to be on this list. 2/5.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Nov 06 2023

lovely album. Levon such a beautiful song, and Tiny Dancer of course.

Document by R.E.M.
Nov 07 2023

I love REM, including this album! It has a couple classic REM songs, which remind me of car trips with my parents growing up. II think "End of the World" deserves a 5/5, but the rest of the album is a 3/5

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Nov 09 2023

wow i loved this! never heard this album but every song pretty much is a banger. I could see how someone might feel every song has a similar sound, but they all hit to me, and the album is not long. amazing horns. standout song is Pedro Navaja. 5/5

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Nov 10 2023

I don’t get it. Sounds like I’m watching a local bar band and genuinely don’t get the appeal. 2/5

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 13 2023

i like the attitude, but find the songs kind of forgettable. 2/5

Arrival by ABBA
Nov 14 2023

I enjoyed this an unexpected amount. Some really great songs and a ton of fun. 4/5

In Utero by Nirvana
Nov 15 2023

Such an iconic album. Not necessarily my personal favorite but so raw... not necessarily my personal favorite, but it's easy to appreciate why this album is so important

Nov 16 2023

Oh man, I'm biased maybe because I grew up listening to Genesis. But this is a reallyyy really cool album to me. It's so weird and it feels like such an adventure to listen to. It's the kind of album where I totally understand why someone wouldn't like it, though... but man what a cool one! Peter Gabriel goat

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Nov 17 2023

Just feels like a punkier version of the stones but not as good? Maybe I will change my mind

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Nov 20 2023

This is definitely an Iron Maiden album! As a guitarist, it's fun to listen to for some shredding, but I've don't feel any deeper appreciation for this than that.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Nov 21 2023

God, what an album. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this again after many years. 5/5.
