Amnesiac by Radiohead
Nov 27 2023

Love this album! Not my favourite Radiohead album, but love it more than I used to. Used to be thrown off by it’s experimental style which felt a little off balanced in the album back in the day, but I feel like it evolved the band towards some sweet future albums. Overall 4.5 strong album but not my favourite Radiohead album

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz

Jan 06 2024

The Doors by The Doors
Jan 09 2024

Powerful and classic Can’t believe this came out in the 60s and was their first album. Jim Morrison vocals are chilling and captivating Love this album 4.5

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Jan 10 2024

Great voice and all, but I never could get into her adult contemporary style of music. A lot of it reminds of waiting in a dr’s office 2.5

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jan 11 2024

I only know of Steely Dan from John Mulaney stand up specials. I'm glad to have finally listened to it, really good stuff! need to listen more. Gave me some CKNY vibes 1st listen 3.5

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Jan 12 2024

It's not my usual style, but I enjoyed a few of the folky country songs. She has an amazing voice and some of the songs were quite powerful. Some songs reminded me of Joni Mitchell. The second half of the album was solid, especially coat of many colours, queen of the Silver Dollar and a beautiful cover of For No One 1st listen 3.5

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jan 13 2024

Good start , first song must have been sampled by will smith back in the day ( getting jigggy with it) But I didn’t get into the rest of it 3 of the songs I really liked though 2.5

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 14 2024

Good stuff Still new to steely Dan, feels like I need to listen more to get more into it 1st 3,5

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jan 15 2024

Im not sure what I just listened too It felt like a frog on an acid trip for some songs,and then they throw out a song like “im glad” in the middle of the mix, to make you ask yourself if you’re actually the frog on the acid trip… anyways, I liked whatever it was. 3.5

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jan 16 2024

This brings back all the memories and all the feels. The first time I heard this album, I was afraid of it. A few years later i rediscovered it at the right time and it quickly became a used up CD in the car

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Jan 17 2024

I wasn’t digging this album at first and thought it was going to be a struggle To get through, but it slowly won me over. I relistenned a second time and dug it more. The start was slow, but got much better at the end. I still prefer his work with the Smiths

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Jan 18 2024

listening to this reminds me that the early '90s had a genre of its own. Alternative rock at that time seems to follow a familiar sound. I enjoyed some of the songs, where others didn't click as much for me 1st listen 2.5

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jan 19 2024

I remember seeing them play live on TV for the first time and thought, this band will bring back 80s rock and roll and will be legendary. Then I downloaded their album and felt it was very cliché and more of a one-hit wonder. Although there are some cool riffs and impressive vocals, it doesn't seem well utilized and very over the top.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 20 2024

What an incredible album and intro of Brian Johnson to the group. Big shoes for him to fill and he knocked it out of the park!

London Calling by The Clash
Jan 21 2024

I see this as one of the most important albums for what it influenced in the punk rock world. This set a blue print for Bands that had a huge impact in the 90s from rancid, to anti flag nofx bad religion, catch 22 and the list goes on. I love the early so-cal punk sound and the dub and ska influences. This is a staple of what 90s punk rock music stemmed from 4.5

Microshift by Hookworms
Jan 22 2024

I really liked this Gave me lots of vibes from bands like tame impala, arcade fire, band of horses and really enjoyed listening to it 3.5-4

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jan 23 2024

Another solid classic punk album that had a big influence. I found many of the sounds reassembled themselves, which sometimes felt redundant, but I still appreciate their music and the mark they left on the next generations. 3

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jan 24 2024

Another solid and pinnacle metal album Huge hits and huge licks. Dave Mustaine’s post Metallica project east triumph and this album is one of his best 4.5

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Jan 25 2024

I’ve never heard of this guy before and I wish I had! What a raw and potent songwriter His mix of blues and folk feels simplistic and deep. Glad i got to find this one 4

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jan 26 2024

This album holds up incredibly strong from start to end and demonstrates when Jay-Z rose to the top. I love the soulful throwback beats and the quick-witted and often emotional lyrics. I think this album set Jay-Z apart as one of the greats. 4.5

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 27 2024

I have mad respect for the artist, she has a powerful voice and so much talent. I didn’t enjoy this album as much as the last one on this but her talent is undeniable 3

Parklife by Blur
Jan 28 2024

This was a divisive album Some songs were strong and reminded me of the smiths/ sex pistols and showed the potential of what would eventually become the gorrillaz. But other songs felt like a carnival ride and made me feel nauseous. I don’t think I’ll be listening to it again. 2

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 29 2024

Listening to the band after all the allegations around the lead singer hits differently. But objectively this is an incredible album and I think one of their best Strong albums from 1st to last and stood out so much in its day when first released 4

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 30 2024

A very relaxing listen while making food Very much enjoyed 3.5

Jan 31 2024

It's difficult to find flaws in this album. It's an iconic album from a legendary songwriter. As strong as is this album, it only figures in my top 5 Bob Dylan albums. amazing album 4.5

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Feb 01 2024

A cool creative project! I had no idea this was Kool Keith. Very out there. I prefer his other projects, but this was some quality 80s hip hop 3

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 02 2024

Great indie rock album Would definitely listen again 3.5

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Feb 03 2024

I’ve always enjoyed the beastie boys for their evolution from a punk rock band to leading into sampling music , to then pick back up their instruments. This album felt like a jam session mixed with all of their influences at the time. This album goes from hip hop to punk, to jazz and funk and then instrumental so quickly that it can be a lot. A lot of these beats reminded me of the band sublime But there are some classic songs in this that stood the test of time. I love the song with Q-tip. The album is a lot of things, which can make hard to listen in one sitting. 3.5

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 04 2024

Great album Very cold 80s sound I find the album sets a chill ambiance 3.5

Quiet Life by Japan
Feb 05 2024

Not my cup of tea 1.5

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 06 2024

I appreciate Bruce Springsteen for his writing, but I just can’t seem to really get into him Good album though

Signing Off by UB40
Feb 07 2024

I’m usually open to bands that had and influence on the ska/dub scene, but asside from the beats , I found the album itself forgettable 2

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Feb 08 2024

Very catchy music that surely had immense influence on a lot of 60s musical acts. 3

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Feb 10 2024

Awesome album ! 4

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Feb 12 2024

This album blew me away loved the mix of soul, jazz and great lyrics

American Pie by Don McLean
Feb 14 2024

I liked it a lot Qu’usité a few gems that aren’t American pie 3.5

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Feb 15 2024

Wow this was hard, and really good for a metal album. Some of the last songs were a little too , but overall I found it to be a solid metal album

21 by Adele
Feb 16 2024

Incredible voice, one of the best of our generation The songs are centred around heartbreak, but they feel very real and genuine. beautiful album 4

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Feb 17 2024

Not a big fan of jazz, but I was really into the piano style in this album

California by American Music Club
Feb 18 2024

Couldnt find the full album, What I heard sounded folk indie which was an interesting mix 2.5

S&M by Metallica
Feb 20 2024

This brought me back to my youth. I remember watching this concert on TV and being blown away by the incredible mix of these two musical genres. A great listen back down memory lane. incredible live performance 4.5

Feb 21 2024

There was alot of beat which was fun for a run, but not as enjoyable for other settings. I liked the son where they just named a ton of musical artists the whole time. 2.5

Feb 24 2024

Im usually harder on live records because so many miss the mark, where others give proof of their incredible talent. This one is the latter. this album captures magic and the essence of cobains style. It reminds me of when Rick Reuben let Johnny cash express himself through his take on classic covers that are significant to him. Only other live albums that rival this one for me is Neil young unplugged and Eric Clapton

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 25 2024

Classic Motown Amazing sound and legendary groove 4.5

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Feb 26 2024

I was expecting some punk music and was surprised by something feeling like a baby between Jim Morrison and David Bowie. I was taken off guard and delighted by what it was. I feel like the Stooges were more punk, but this did not have that feel. Super Good though! 3.5

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 27 2024

Not many bands can have the effect ccr had in such a short time Timeless band

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Feb 28 2024

The first track had me all in and then there was a long lull untill that same style came back Some really good tracks, but the overall album missed the mark for me 1st listen

I See You by The xx
Feb 29 2024

I found it captivating for its simplicity It really drew me in Didn’t know what to expect but enjoyed it very much !

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Mar 01 2024

This didn’t stand out for me Too much 2.5

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 02 2024

A classic among classics.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Mar 03 2024

Not my style, but some songs were good 2.5

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Mar 04 2024

I enjoyed the musical arrangements for the concept album. I feel like this album has to be listened to in the right setting to be fully enjoyed. However, I was extremely weirded out and taken out of it when I realized that the entire story in the album is about an older man falling in for a 14-year-old girl... 1.5

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Mar 05 2024

By far my favourite stones album The raw sound gives an intimate feel And shows the dynamic and depth of their talent and range of musical style from blues to folk to rock I enjoy this album more and more every time I revisit it

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Mar 06 2024

another classic! Strong album, not my favourite ACDC but it holds up!

Mar 08 2024

This blew me away, I cant believe I hadnt listened to this before. So glad to discover this one 4.5

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Mar 10 2024

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Mar 13 2024

Very chill ambiance, I liked it a lot 3.5

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Mar 15 2024

Amazing album, probably his best Great beats and witty lyrics at times 4.5

The Man Who by Travis
Mar 17 2024

It was fine, but nothing that stood out. 2.5

Mar 19 2024

One of the greats doing what he does best. I love how this album is mostly stripped down to, him a guitar and harmonica. The lyrics are powerful and poetic 4.5

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Mar 20 2024

some good songs that cut deep, others didn't hit the mark for me

Phrenology by The Roots
Mar 21 2024

I had the chance to discover this band love and was blown away A lot I liked on this album as it brought me back to that concert experience, but some. I didn’t like as much 3.5

Doolittle by Pixies
Mar 23 2024

Love the punk feel to it Quick and dirty 3.5

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 26 2024

About time that Neil makes his place in this list A solid album that entwines his legendary acoustic performances with his electric and iconic sound with crazy horse

Mar 27 2024

I can’t deny this artists talent Not his best album, but an arguably strong album Most songs hit the mark and exceed expectations

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Mar 28 2024

I don’t find it bad, but not my type I find it a little generic. I’m sure when it can out it was more unique 2,5

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 29 2024

Hands down queen of soul

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Apr 03 2024

Not really my style

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 04 2024

I liked a lot of the songs , not all the beats, but over all strong album

White Ladder by David Gray
Apr 05 2024

Felt like I was in a cafe on a rainy day in 2008 listening to this.

Is This It by The Strokes
Apr 06 2024

Loved this album when i first discovered it Felt it had a great mix of rock licks and a punk style on a slower tempo I don’t find that it aged as well, but still nostalgic to hear 3,5
