Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Nov 22 2023

calming, soothing, relaxing. deep but at the surface, very expressive.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Nov 27 2023
Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 08 2023
Faust IV by Faust
Dec 11 2023

experimental for sure. can't say I would recommend this though , as it's very out there rock. ahead of their time, sure, but hindsight is 20-20.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Dec 14 2023

Morrissey reminds me of what makes him a special singer. being able to dive into the deep of your emotions with a soothing, calming demeaner.

Blur by Blur
Dec 15 2023
Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Jan 20 2024

this won't be for everyone, as it's very 'simple' if you want to call it that on the surface. underneath however, is a mesmerizing DnB album that can be played today and would still be very welcoming.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Feb 25 2024

this is hot fire, burns up into a crisp after the 1st track. nothing else is worth mentioning.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Feb 26 2024

green fret, red fret, yellow fret, blue fret, orange fret.

Risque by CHIC
Mar 01 2024

fundamental to hiphop.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Mar 03 2024

felt 60s movie-esque.

Doolittle by Pixies
Mar 16 2024

good album, not something I would re-visit personally

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Apr 10 2024

was good sounding for the first few tracks, however, interest was at a low by the 1/2 way point of the album. found the sounds of the album interesting however,

Smile by Brian Wilson
Apr 11 2024

i just don't like the beach boys. beatles are better.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 12 2024

first few tracks were good, and rest of the album was okay.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Apr 17 2024
The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Jul 23 2024

very classic feeling country. nanci's voice flows cathartically through the entire run time. lots of peaks and valleys of different emotions, life events, etc that make me want to find a bit more about her.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Jul 28 2024

some 2000s baby fucking music

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Aug 07 2024

you know, I wasn't quite familar with you but damn you can fucking sing.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Aug 08 2024

so. many. bongos. I like it for productive background music lol

Tommy by The Who
Aug 10 2024
Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Aug 13 2024

I feel like I have to like this album. it is a OK album, nothing that puts me way over the top.

Bossanova by Pixies
Aug 18 2024

again, Pixies has a strong first 1/2 of the album, then just fades. 3

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Aug 19 2024
Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Aug 21 2024

something like explosions in the sky, but not something I would actively return to.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Aug 23 2024

very psychedelic. very trippy. I like it.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Aug 25 2024

Thriller-esque these nuts. this shit sucks.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Aug 26 2024

For sure good dark rock.

Aug 27 2024

inspired an entire wave of 90s rap. not that radio play, but poetry with at times hyperbolic enthusiam. one of the best to ever do it, ODB. RIP.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Aug 28 2024

cool concept. movie-soundtrack without the movie.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Aug 29 2024

good album, as a debut is very good. I get why they blew up even more with Toxicity right after, as this was a very good debut. not a lot of tracks to skip, some good ones - Spiders, Suite-Pee, and War?

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Aug 30 2024

groundwork foundation of what would become 80s styled 'laid-back' rock. pretty cool

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 31 2024

great garage rock album. lot of angst within the lead singer. would recommend the full album to others, very in your face and unapologetic.

Music by Madonna
Sep 02 2024

yeah not for me.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Sep 03 2024

first time listening to Billy Joel. His influence of the Beatles-esque music is clear first song, and I for one am a fan of his now. This album is very catchy, with ominous lyrics that can confuse others who aren't that quick.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Sep 04 2024

I had heard quite a bit of Christina growing up, and this album really doesn't take you back to the 20s. I understand the entire project is a callback and its own interpretation of the 20s, and enjoyable to listen to for it being that. outside, however, most if not all the songs on the list sound trapped in their own time and are not going to be remembered after a few years.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Sep 05 2024

somewhat OK but not mainly my taste.

Sep 08 2024

like the electronic vibes on this soundtrack. May have to check out the movie sometime.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Sep 09 2024

disco died appropriately as it was getting too repetitive. slow sounds making me feel some way.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Sep 10 2024

really solid album, have some cuts that are not 'we got the beat' which are solid like Automatic and Tonight.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Sep 11 2024

this is trash. so far it's been a very cheap 'Dylan' and a poor attempt to be 'depressed and unbothered'.

Sep 12 2024

sad its Raekwon's best solo piece outside of the Wu. STUPID production, lyrics have you re-reading like your favorite book over and over again.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 28 2024

not bad for a trippy, sigh of rock.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Sep 30 2024

pretty mellow.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Oct 01 2024

experimental in an era where psychedelics were the rage and to be able to stand out makes Jimi one of the best to ever do it with the backwards guitar.

Oct 02 2024

fresh, revival of second life for LL. made him a 'hardcore' rapper, at the time.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Oct 12 2024

not a bad album, just not for me.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Oct 13 2024

blues rock from the UK. got a song or two that's good.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Oct 15 2024

meh. the return of meh.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Nov 06 2024

so far, nothing catchy or great I wouldn't hear outside the local Starbucks. this shit is slow and boring.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Nov 07 2024

I can see why this was popular in the 90s as it was very radio and commercial friendly 'dance' music. of course it goes without saying, it made one of the best songs when I was growing up, groove is in the heart. overall, good work.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 08 2024

quite a enjoyable album, with sounds that would make the time go by. would recommend if hiking, or just enjoying a nice early morning reading of the morning news.

Kid A by Radiohead
Nov 09 2024

what a fucking gem. what a fucking masterclass of an album. arguably one of the better RadioHead albums. 4/5

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Nov 11 2024

first time listening to a full De La Soul record as it was one of the last artists not on streaming. overall a very 90s hip-hop art album, which was trying to build off the roots that ATCQ dug into the 90s. overall solid project, would revisit one in a while.

Nov 12 2024

very good live performance, had the crowd begging for more James Brown. solid piece that should have everyone listen to in regards of a live album.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Nov 13 2024

amerikkkas most wanted still remains one of his best work. The Predator comes in a time where the genre as a whole was still in the height of 'gangsta' street music, and as much as Cube is the lyricist it just falls a bit flat with some of the same themes and tones from his prior work. Some noticeable classics that came from this record like It Was A Good Day and Check Ya Self.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Nov 14 2024

overall a good jazz album that is quite laid back as it is quick. good show.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Nov 15 2024

so far, it is a very laid-back album with lots of short forget-me songs. I do appreciate the cohesiveness that kind of reminds me of a non-Beatles, Beatles. I appreciate the easy listening that comes with this album, not something that is memorable.

Nov 16 2024

Cash's final album will be something that showcases the entire catalog throughout his lustrous career. most are interpolations or covers of good well-known songs which isn't a slight at Cash. Throughout his entire life has been leading for an album like this, in which, his voice adds the haunting, dreary sense of someone who is finally coming to pass.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Nov 17 2024

Morrissey still being Morrissey after all the years, still is a bop. he is still a piece of shit, but he can make good music.

Moon Safari by Air
Nov 18 2024

pretty cool album, more of Air that is meant for a soundtrack or something.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Nov 20 2024

pretty good ATCQ album, more of the funky jazz influence at times on this album. lyrics from Q and Phife come through on this that makes 'smart rap' good and cool.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Nov 22 2024

very good Cuban music. I like that it can be played today and it doesn't sound like it was from a few years ago, much more than 30 or 40. very cool album

The Yes Album by Yes
Nov 25 2024

its a yes album. its a mid from me.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Nov 26 2024

white people need to start making music like this again.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Dec 05 2024

very surprising album with lots of good tracks. I couldn't tune out of the top 6 in the disk, although, the quality for me drops off at around th 10th song. after that it to me sounds quite repetitive

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Dec 08 2024

it's not as the title suggests as Whatever. album is very basic, if you want to call it that, as there isn't many lyrics that don't go past the surface level, but that doesn't make it a bad thing. more of a radio friendly level of music, something that plays in the background when you're shopping at K-Mart.

The White Album by Beatles
Dec 10 2024

number 9, number 9, number 9 ......turn me on dead man, turn me on dead man, turn me on dead man....some of the most out of left field music that came out of this album specifically. love this album so damn much.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Dec 11 2024

Legit giving me 90s techno. Some album you would slap on your mixtape to try and get featured on Thrasher magazine.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Dec 13 2024

the album that transformed my 6/7 year old brain into knowing about other music that could be hard and fast. growing up was 90s hiphop and spanish music, this is how I learned about music. this album is a pillar in defining the early 00s with their nu-metal sound. sure there was Korn and the like, but this was the first that truly went to #1 with their innovative orchestra of strings, beats and guitar riffs. Chester you will forever be missed. R.I.P.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Dec 15 2024

ya know, I didn't give Stevie a lot of props. he's got that ear for sounds like a hawks has eyes for his kills.

Arular by M.I.A.
Feb 05 2025

some sounds from the future, some sounds that stayed in the past. To me it felt more like a fashion runway project where you get a lot of interesting and unique sounds almost to be part of something bigger.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 07 2025

they weren't the groundbreakers, but they were the path to mainstream hiphop as what is known today as rap. laying the roadway to something greater, RIP to Jam Master Jay.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Feb 09 2025

nice album I can put on in the background of an activity . lots of different influences like jazz and blues that i find catchy.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 15 2025

solid Beastie Boys album, have a few notable tracks off this and for it being after Licensed to Ill it's interesting how they were able to keep influence without sacrificing style.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 18 2025

Billy Corgan can make some songs very good, some highlights like Spaceboy, but to me a bit too slow.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Mar 28 2025

didn't know Jeru before this album was introduced to me, has a lot of the crumbling that make the NY boom boom bap sounds so iconic from the burrows.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Mar 30 2025

pretty bad ass EP.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 01 2025

pretty notable cuts, some of which have been sampled til Kingdom Come and back. nice to know origin.

Apr 02 2025

as much long this album is , I can tell that both Big Boi and 3K had VERY different visions and was really the split after this that followed you can hear in the music. it's a jarring different move from the group before the split and I can't really can't get down with either side of the 2LP all that well like their previous albums.

Technique by New Order
Jun 18 2025

some nice tunes, overall not bad.

Dummy by Portishead
Sep 06 2025
Kenya by Machito
Sep 07 2025

would be something in the background for coloring, artistry, or cleaning. just some good background tracks.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 23 2025

classic CCR, still as good as today.

The Score by Fugees
Oct 24 2025

first time listening to The Score in it's entirety, as it is well known for it's singles such as Killing Me Softly and No Woman, No Cry cover, but man, this is a part of a pillar of hiphop in the 90s and it's opened my ears to how well of a lyricist Lauryn Hill is.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Oct 27 2025
Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Oct 29 2025
Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Nov 14 2025

quite fun album that i would listen to again. fun sounds coming from this group.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Nov 16 2025

its got a few cuts but nothing I would write home about, more of a overrated band.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jan 01 2026

pretty nostalgic feel that I have towards this record, isn't bad but not enough big highlights from the lows like the drugs wont work

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jan 02 2026
Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 03 2026
Kenza by Khaled
Jan 04 2026

bruh this ain't my shit at all lol

Jan 06 2026

not something I would add to my personal collection, however, for this being shelved for 20 years before it came out is a crime. I understand Cooke wasn't trying to be a huge pop star, but this certainly would have put him in another level given the raw vocals he brings.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Jan 08 2026

some good songs for background beach weather, like a sunset viewing but nothing much else.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jan 09 2026

heartbreak, comeback, and standing tall alone, with another man.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jan 10 2026

dylan isn't my cup of coffee but I do understand the importance of an artist of his magnitude

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Jan 11 2026

hard listen is right, jesus this is noise at it's worst. I get what they were going for, but it's just noise.

Jan 12 2026

cool tracks, some didn't age as well as I would have hoped.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 30 2026

pretty cool from Bruce, not something that's in my rotation always

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 31 2026

5 starts no notes.
