Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Nov 21 2023

Pretty good vibes for music made by a band half comprised of pedophiles, heroin really is a miracle drug. Researching and it turns out Jagger and Wyman were minimally involved in this album, so maybe that's why it's good.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Nov 22 2023

I'm sure this album was very important but it just kinda feels a bit rudimentary compared to the music it's inspired I guess. Plenty listenable still, just feel like there wasn't a song that was super memorable for me here

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Nov 23 2023

Pretty good, not really my thing but still fairly enjoyable. Son of a preacher man and windmills of your mind definitely stand out more than the other songs to me. A lot of this album feels like music that might be used in a romcom but windmills of your mind has sort of a bond film sound that is pretty cool.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Nov 24 2023

Even though Flava Flav isn't really a rapper and Chuck D is really the driving force of public enemy it's so great that Chuck was able to convince the label to keep Flava Flav on, he just brings a ton of personality. Real friend. It's almost a shame that mainstream news fearmongering of an artist isn't so common anymore because it makes for some incredible samples here

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Nov 25 2023

I've never been all that much of a fan of eminim, but he undeniably put out some very good records, this being one of them. Some of the tracks definitely haven't aged great content wise, but they mostly all sound pretty good with the Dr dre + bass brothers production. Skits are a little half baked

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Nov 26 2023

Sounds like it would be in the matrix soundtrack, which isn't really a bad thing so much but not really what I like. Songs ended up feeling pretty repetitive and there wasn't a whole ton distinguishing them imo

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Nov 27 2023

It's pretty incredible how this mopey loser keeps finding things to whine about in his songs, you think he'd have run out of things after a point. It ends up being kinda cathartic though. It's like you end up wishing you could be this openly miserable and have people praise you for it like he does. Songs are pretty good imo although nothing as iconic as Kyle Kuzma bus

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Nov 28 2023

Goes so hard. Really incredible density of iconic tracks on this album, just wall to wall bangers. Zack de la Rocha brings so much energy on everything and all the songs are distinct from each other while keeping the same vibe. The only bad thing this album did was inspire a bunch of bands to think that they could make this shit too.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Nov 29 2023

I was somewhat familiar with the sonic youth (mostly from Ed Templeton's 'Welcome to Hell' part) but had never listened to an album in full before. This one is really really good. Super noisy and eclectic, and I think it's aged very well. I am a bit of a post punk sucker so it feels right up my alley. Also Providence Rhode Island mentioned

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Nov 30 2023

Tim Buckley was getting around I'll tell you what Album is pretty good, fairly groovy, funky, and absolutely horny. Couldn't even begin to imagine what the monkey rub is.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Dec 02 2023

Entirely inoffensive but completely forgettable for me. Nothing really felt special here, doubt I will revisit this one.

Dec 03 2023

It's just not for me. Couldn't get through the back half of all the live tracks but it didn't feel like I was missing anything. The album art is pretty rad though.

Dec 04 2023

It's sort of like if Rush was not really exciting and had less personality. It's probably more generally agreeable but much less special imo.

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 05 2023

It's not really what I like to listen to but it's a really hit dense album and it's tough to not find yourself singing along.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Dec 06 2023

I thought this album was a pretty good listen. It's a shame that some of the tracks are missing off spotify

Tago Mago by Can
Dec 07 2023

Pretty interesting experimental record. Sometimes it lost me a little bit but i enjoyed the listen overall

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Dec 08 2023

Really interesting album! It's very noisy and has a really great sound. Occasionally felt like it was taking itself too seriously (Religion I & II) while simultaneously other tracks felt the opposite (Fodderstompf), but overall I really liked it.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 09 2023

Really great example of the indie rock wave in the late 00s, and I think the sound as a whole really still stands up well. Heads Will Roll is an obvious favorite but pretty much everything sounds great. There's sort of a glitteriness that's prevalent on a lot of the tracks here that I like.

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Dec 10 2023

Was not able not get into this one. Could not imagine getting hyped to go to a concert of this music but people were probably lined up out the door for a chance to throw ass at these dudes.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Dec 11 2023

A pretty chill rock album, there wasn't a whole lot that stood out to me but it was nice.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Dec 12 2023

It's coltraine so it's very good, it's just a little short, I was a little disappointed when it ended. Not disappointed in the music just the fact that it didn't keep going. To me there are better coltraine albums although id be surprised if those were not also on the list

Liquid Swords by GZA
Dec 13 2023

Excellent from front to back. Everything on this album just sounds right

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 20 2023

Very good album. Lots of classic tracks and is just very easy to listen to

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jan 01 2024

It kinda sucks but in a way that's cool not sure how else to describe it

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 22 2024

Pretty good album, some classic songs and some ones I was not familiar with

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jan 23 2024

Coldplay all kinda starts to sound the same to me. Great if you're sleepy

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Jan 24 2024

I enjoyed this, although it's not something I'd listen to regularly. Very varied sound on this

John Prine by John Prine
Jan 25 2024

Really good folk album front to back. Songs range from funny to deeply sad to politically relevant even now. Wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did

Jan 26 2024

Really knocked it out of the park for this sound. It's a little rudimentary but the songs are so catchy you don't really care. Tuesdays gone, simple man, and freebird are all obvious highlights

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jan 27 2024

Wasn't really feeling this one

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Jan 28 2024

I don't think it was really bad or anything but it had absolutely no juice whatsoever

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jan 29 2024

Can't really imagine spending my life following this around on tour those people have stronger wills than me

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jan 31 2024

Would never have listened to this on my own so I'm always glad to hear something like this. It wasn't my favorite but I thought it was pretty good

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 01 2024

Fistfighting barbiturates for what they did to him

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 02 2024

It was pretty unique but I didn't really get into it

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Feb 06 2024

It's pretty good but it doesn't have the juice that funeral had. The songs on this record don't feel as big to me

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Feb 07 2024

Did not like this one

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Feb 08 2024

Really nice voice, the songs are very relaxing

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Feb 09 2024

Wasn't really feeling it, I just think there's more interesting stuff of the same genre and era

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Feb 10 2024

Pretty fun album

More Specials by The Specials
Feb 12 2024

This feels completely all over the place. One song he's just listing James Bond movie titles

Play by Moby
Feb 13 2024

This is music that was scientifically formulated to be included as background music in oceans eleven. Sorta like if Fatboy slim was dogshit

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Feb 14 2024

Was just sorta ok, nothing was very memorable to me

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 16 2024

Very relaxing music but still very engaging

xx by The xx
Feb 20 2024

Great album, highschool me loved this shit

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Feb 21 2024

Didn't think the first album of theirs I got on this was anything special and this continues the trend. Not sure why we need two of these things

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 23 2024

Just ok

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Feb 24 2024

I don't think she should have been allowed to do the new York accent on all these songs
