Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Nov 21 2023

Enjoyed some of the drums and guitar, but overall bland.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Nov 22 2023

best track: on the beach the last 3 tracks! 😍 I want to give this a 5 star rating, but can you already dish out a 5 for the 2nd album you listen to?

Live! by Fela Kuti
Nov 24 2023

It's all nice and good, but 15mins of the same hand-drummed beat is just a little too much.

Horses by Patti Smith
Nov 29 2023
Dare! by The Human League
Nov 30 2023

I Dare! you to listen to this album ... ... because it's boring :( 0/5 if it were possible

In Utero by Nirvana
Dec 05 2023

Has its moments, both good & bad. Could you imagine someone repeatedly singing "rape me" in a song over and over again nowadays? Yeah ...

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Dec 07 2023

Not bad, but not something memorable. Did not manage to catch my attention.

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 08 2023

Not too bad.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Dec 11 2023

You just can't sit still when listening to this one, can you? Positively surprised

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Dec 13 2023

Not bad, but also not memorable. "Whatever..." ;)

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Dec 14 2023

Not outright terrible, but also not something I ever want to listen to again.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Dec 15 2023

I'm sure someone loves this ... ... but that someone ain't me.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Dec 21 2023

No. Just no.

Dec 22 2023

If you're in the right state of mind, this is actually quite good. Would I listen to it on a normal day? No...

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Dec 25 2023

Somehow remarkably forgettable

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jan 16 2024

- "What's the name of that band?" - "The Band!" - "Yes, the band - what are they called?" - "The Band!"

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jan 17 2024

2 stars only, because 1 star wouldn't be considered Good Vibrations

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 22 2024

unremarkable

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jan 23 2024

like listening to the same song 10 times...

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Jan 24 2024

Over 2 hours of mighty fine fiddely diddely doo-music. Now excuse me, I need to get back to the dark dreary mine, where it's dark as a dungeon; the sun never shines; the rain never falls; where the danger is double and the pleasures are few.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 25 2024

There are no words for how overrated Depeche Mode are.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jan 30 2024

Not for me (couldn't listen to more than a couple of songs).

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jan 31 2024

Ugh, tough one. As much as I enjoyed Björks unhinged vocals, I hated the dudes narrated parts in his overly Icelandic accented English.

Abraxas by Santana
Feb 05 2024

Black Magic Woman :)

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Feb 07 2024

Skip this one.

Feb 09 2024

Girlfriend in a coma; I know, I know, it's really serious. I love it! 😆

1999 by Prince
Feb 12 2024

Funky. But that isn't enough to make it interesting to me.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 13 2024

Not as good as Let it Bleed. Also, why does the UK Version not include Paint it Black?

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Feb 14 2024

Not as bad as I first thought when I read a couple of reviews (and saw the cover art). Some songs are horrible ("The Duchess"), but overall quite enjoyable.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Feb 15 2024

Nothing I'm going to remember.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 20 2024

Awesome!

Elephant by The White Stripes
Feb 26 2024

Banger! Hard to think that I didn't like the White Stripes as a teenie.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Feb 27 2024

good stuff

1984 by Van Halen
Feb 28 2024

not as good as the first one (Van Halen)

S&M by Metallica
Feb 29 2024

bad! just bad! The orchestra makes every song sound like some sort of James Bond movie theme.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Mar 01 2024

On the previous Kate Bush album I said: "not for me". For this one I can say _definitely_ not for me!

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Mar 04 2024

Nothing special

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Mar 06 2024

So many bangers on this one! Crazy, even if it's not quite your favorite music style.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Mar 07 2024

Hello Africa

Tommy by The Who
Mar 08 2024

Tommy, can you hear me??? Not bad!

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Mar 12 2024

nah, too much high pitched "ouh baby" and "yeah yeah yeah". Too many random non-music parts.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Mar 13 2024

Not my cup of tea. Too whiny & too instrumentally unremarkable. I don't WANT ONE, and esp. not TWO.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Mar 14 2024

Ooufff. Difficult one. It wasn't really bad, but it was too wild; too incoherent to make it work out for me.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Mar 18 2024

Started out really shitty, but got progressively better.

25 by Adele
Mar 19 2024

Adele is awesome, but that slight lisp really puts me off. "Hello" is a banger, however I don't think this is her best record.

Timeless by Goldie
Mar 20 2024

Well, at least I learned something: genre to avoid: Drum & Base with "ethereal" singing. 0/5 if it would be possible

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Mar 21 2024

I mean it's powerful, but that doesn't mean I enjoy listening to it.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 25 2024

Well, more shouting than anything else, innit?

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Mar 26 2024

Now this is music! If you dislike this one, what are you even doing here? And now, let's all go down to the waterline.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Mar 28 2024

Divine Boredom

Moondance by Van Morrison
Oct 15 2024

These dreams of you stoned me into the mystic on a brand new day, so I had to do a crazy love moondance.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Oct 16 2024

Banger! War Pigs alone is 5 stars

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Oct 17 2024

Iggy Flop

Synchronicity by The Police
Oct 18 2024

Synchronicity? More like mediocrity!

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Oct 22 2024

Funky

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 23 2024

Would have expected more from a CCR record...

Pornography by The Cure
Oct 25 2024

What a steaming pile of shit...

Soul Mining by The The
Nov 01 2024

Totally unremarkable

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Nov 04 2024

Sweet, but also boring

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Nov 07 2024

really?

Opus Dei by Laibach
Nov 08 2024

Nein...

Murmur by R.E.M.
Nov 12 2024

surprisingly, this is the first time I wouldn't consider something from R.E.M. to be horrible

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Nov 15 2024

Good but not awesome. More like a 3.5

Jan 23 2025

Kids these days only know the "new" (aka boring) Coldplay. There is a reason they became so popular, you know. Their first two records are fantastic.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jan 24 2025

yay, another "ethereal sounds" album! Juuuuuust what I needed ... not

Vulnicura by Björk
Jan 29 2025

Is this music? Certainly. Is it supposed to be on this list? Certainly not.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Feb 05 2025

Not the worst I've heard during this journey, but certainly not something that makes me want to listen to this for a second time.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Feb 06 2025

Walk this Way & Sweet Emotion are pretty good. The rest is very much forgettable.
