Only By The Night by Kings of Leon

A classic of the early-2000s indie scene

The Stranger by Billy Joel

Started quite strong and then got repetitive quickly. He has a great energy, but it is just too "pop" for me.

So many memories...

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jan 05 2024

Great sound landscape

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jan 06 2024

It's like one long song. But it's history, of course.

Eagles by Eagles
Jan 08 2024
Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jan 10 2024

Surprised that I never heard about him before. He is very talented, even if I find his music a bit too "over".

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 12 2024

What a vibe

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 13 2024

Amazing discovery. Nick's story is sad, but it contributes to the beauty of his music.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jan 14 2024

Taking most of the fun out of prog rock lol

John Prine by John Prine
Jan 15 2024

Genre: 1/5 Lyrics: 5/5

Future Days by Can
Jan 18 2024

Very creative, even too experimental at times, but this is really ahead of its time.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jan 21 2024
Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jan 22 2024

Very very weird in a good way, it's like a bipolar album. Not every song is enjoyable, but the whole thing is pure creativity.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jan 23 2024

Huge respect for the icon, but this is really not my vibe.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 24 2024

Discount Bon Iver...

Melodrama by Lorde
Jan 25 2024

Great production. Too pop for me.

Dry by PJ Harvey

Love the roughness of the sound and her voice.

Jan 27 2024

One of my favorite albums of all time

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jan 28 2024

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 01 2024

Obv amazing

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 03 2024
Play by Moby
Feb 06 2024

Not all songs work today, but the classics are still great pieces of downtempo music

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Feb 10 2024

Really hard to separate the art with the artist with this one. Production value is really high. I can just listen to it without caring about the lyrics, I guess.

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 11 2024

His singing could be a bit whiny at times, but this is a very solid and atmospheric album

Medúlla by Björk
Feb 12 2024

I love Bjork and I really respect what she did with this vocal-only album. But it doesn't fully work in its entirety, just individual songs ("Who is it" is my favorite)

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 14 2024
Hot Fuss by The Killers
Feb 16 2024

Bit repetitive but a few amazing classics

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Feb 17 2024

From when he was still fun and funky

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Feb 20 2024

A few songs reminded me of why the 80s were cool. The other songs reminded me of why I hate 80s music.

Scum by Napalm Death
Feb 22 2024

Not a big fan of vomit

Kala by M.I.A.
Feb 26 2024

She is so cool.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Feb 29 2024

They definitely went all out on the weirdness. It mostly works.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Mar 01 2024

What an incredible start! It gets worse after, but definitely a good surprise

Dummy by Portishead
Mar 05 2024

Simply a game changer.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 09 2024

It works best when it sounds like Daft Punk. The soul vibe is great, but it gets repetitive at times.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 12 2024
Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Mar 17 2024

It starts exceptionally, then it gets a bit too experimental. But very good discovery

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 18 2024

Still don't like his voice, but I preferred this one over Ziggy.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 19 2024

Love The Who, not a big fan of Live albums

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Mar 21 2024

Not a fan of New Wave but this album was a pleasant surprise! It just slaps.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Mar 25 2024

A classic of the early-2000s indie scene

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Mar 30 2024

It reminds me of Pink Floyd's The Division Bell with more folk inspiration.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Mar 31 2024

Musically, my favorite Bowie now after 4 albums listened to. I probably would never feel like giving a 5, but this one was the closest.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 02 2024
Pink Flag by Wire
Apr 04 2024

Cool British punk.

Rio by Duran Duran
Apr 06 2024

I never particularly loved the 80s sound, but Duran Duran is a great exception. The bass slaps throughout the whole album.

1984 by Van Halen
Apr 07 2024

fun, energetic, and doesn't overstay its welcome.

Roots by Sepultura
Apr 10 2024

Milho (corn in Portuguese)

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 11 2024
Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Apr 15 2024

Musically, I see how it started and influenced and entire genre. But DAMNED his voice is annoying. It's like being in a KTV in Taipei.

Fun House by The Stooges
Apr 18 2024

Definitely a fun house. So much style!

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Apr 19 2024

Style and talent. This album rocks

xx by The xx
Apr 20 2024

A bit repetitive and the singing is whiny. Some interesting ideas that were developed much better by Jamie XX in his solo electronica career.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Apr 21 2024

So smooth and puts you in the right mood

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 24 2024

It's cringe, it's too long, but musically it's enjoyable.

Cross by Justice
Apr 25 2024
Yeezus by Kanye West
Apr 29 2024

Arrogant bastard. Some songs are good, but worse than his previous stuff

Moon Safari by Air
May 05 2024

Relaxing and pleasant, but I feel it's missing "something" to really stand out

Konnichiwa by Skepta
May 08 2024

Dark, clever, refreshing.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
May 15 2024

5 for the first disk, 4 for the second. Definitely could be better with less songs, but his songwriting style was so unique and I love the sound space he creates.

Third by Portishead
May 19 2024

Much darker than previous stuff. Not as good as Dummy, but still very enjoyable.

Berlin by Lou Reed
May 20 2024

Dark and beautiful. Rough and delicate. What an album.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
May 22 2024

Cool and chill.

May 25 2024

Enjoyed this one more than his other albums. There is a simplicity in the music that works.

Blur by Blur
May 28 2024

Better than imagined. It has a lot of personality.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
May 29 2024
May 30 2024

For some reason, I completely forgot about this album! I listened to it on repeat when it first came out and it perfectly encapsulates the style and vibe of that period.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
May 31 2024

Gaydiohead

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 01 2024

So many absolute bangers! This album is THE hard rock sound.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jun 03 2024

she is really cool and the production value makes this musically interesting.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jun 04 2024

I prefer later Radiohead, but this is still a great album

Suicide by Suicide
Jun 05 2024

I see why it is influential, but it's a bit too strange

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jun 06 2024
In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jun 11 2024

One of the best albums ever made!

Heroes by David Bowie
Jun 20 2024
Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jun 21 2024

Musically quite nice, the voice is terrible

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Jun 23 2024

Very unusual album. So many genres in one. It doesn't fully work, but it's interesting.

Jun 27 2024

What a strange listen! Usually, noise rock tends to have no soul, but this was a welcome exception.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 29 2024

Not a big fan of "commercial" Green Day compared to their early work. But this album is still entertaining.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Jun 30 2024

Bass is great, voice is terrible

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jul 02 2024

Second jazz album in a row, but this one is fun, enjoyable, and has one of my favorite songs ever, Take Five!

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jul 03 2024

Smooth AF, not my cup of tea.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jul 04 2024

Rare old-school hip-hop that still works to this day.

Low by David Bowie
Jul 06 2024

It was shaping to be my first 5 to a Bowie album, but the second half is too slow and disconnected so it ended up being a 4.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jul 07 2024

Amazing prog rock with a soul. I honestly LOVE the added touch of the flutes.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Jul 08 2024

Compared to "In the Court", this album feels less coherent and too experimental.

1999 by Prince
Jul 10 2024

Too 80s for me

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jul 11 2024

Horrible

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jul 12 2024

Exciting stuff, even if I'm more into their later work.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jul 13 2024
Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Jul 15 2024

First half is an easy 5, then it gets too generic. But great discovery for sure.

The Man Who by Travis
Jul 17 2024

I was expecting to hate it but I didn't. A few songs are good, most are a bit too bland.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jul 19 2024

Unbelievably creative! Never know what to expect after each song.

London Calling by The Clash
Jul 27 2024

Ok, maybe it's a bit too long and too many songs, but it's so much fun and the classics are bangers. Such an iconic album.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Jul 28 2024

I see why she is influential, but this genre is really not my thing.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Aug 01 2024

Is it pop punk? Is it grunge? Is it alternative? It's kinda all of that, but each watered down.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Aug 02 2024

80s New Wave sound, which I usually don't like. This one feels inventive, and it sounds like they had a lot of fun making it.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Aug 03 2024

Amazing voice, emotional vibes. What an icon.

Vespertine by Björk
Aug 05 2024

I've always loved Bjork's unique blend of sensuality, sadness, anger, and experimentation. This album has it all and some.

Vulnicura by Björk
Aug 07 2024

A hard one to listen to, but amazing nonetheless. Interestingly I got the break-up album 2 days after the album about how much she loved him.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 08 2024

I still don't like their most recognizable style, but some of their more unusual songs are pretty good.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Aug 12 2024

What a trip! This album is crazy. Misses the 5 only because the two parts feel too disconnected.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Aug 16 2024

Incredibly fun and exciting! The mix of Brazilian and African sounds with a funky soul really works.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Aug 18 2024

So extremely boring and whiney. Couldn't get past the first 3-4 songs.

Traffic by Traffic
Aug 21 2024

Very creative and enjoyable.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Aug 24 2024

Always preferred their later work, but this album is still fun

Low-Life by New Order
Aug 25 2024

Quintessential 80s sound. Not as terrible as I thought, but still not my thing.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Aug 26 2024

Weird. Incredibly weird. I respect the artist for going all in. But it's often hard to listen to.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Aug 27 2024

Musically, it's classic country/folk stuff. But the historical significance of this album is worth putting it on this list.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Aug 28 2024

What a great fkn discovery! Great instrumentation, great vocals, amazing vibes.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Aug 31 2024

Amazing

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Sep 01 2024

Interesting proto-punk

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Sep 04 2024

Finally a Dylan album that I enjoyed. The rusty voice, the darker sounds, the apocalyptic undertones.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Sep 06 2024

Brainless but has some enjoyable moments

Smash by The Offspring
Sep 07 2024

Total smash

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Sep 08 2024

Atmospheric!

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Sep 13 2024

Nice blend of heavy and progressive

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 15 2024

Surprised to love it so much. Amazing vibes

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 17 2024

rough, a bit repetitive, but pretty cool

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 19 2024

Not that pleasant...

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Sep 21 2024

Having now finished the trio of Nick Drake albums, I can safely say it was the best discovery I made through this exercise.

Sea Change by Beck
Sep 22 2024

It's definitely not what I expected. Sadder and closer to Radiohead's ballads. But it is very coherent.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Sep 23 2024

Not yet the sound that made them famous. Enjoyed it less than their more popular stuff.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Sep 24 2024
Ramones by Ramones
Oct 11 2024

Super repetitive but fun!

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Oct 12 2024

The convergence of rave culture and punk culture. What a masterpiece.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 13 2024

Considering how famous and well-received it was, I didn't know much about this album. But it does deserve all the praise.

The White Room by The KLF
Oct 16 2024

Sounds like a horrible late 80s videogame soundtrack

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Oct 17 2024

Like a musical about metal made by people that never heard metal music

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Oct 20 2024

1000 Albums You Must Listen Before You Die + 1 Album You Must Listen Before You Fuck

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Oct 23 2024

Amazing sounds, you can hear how much this album influenced modern electronic music.

Calenture by The Triffids
Oct 25 2024

Horrible

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Oct 28 2024

Consumed this album when it first came out.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Oct 31 2024

Not familiar with their first album, but it already rocks!

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 05 2024

It's stylish, but songs tend to be quite repetitive

Pump by Aerosmith
Nov 06 2024
Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Nov 07 2024

Very interesting. Part post rock, part trip hop. It's too long and inconsistent, but it has great moments.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 11 2024

So fun!

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Nov 14 2024

Harmless blues, but sooo repetitive

Moving Pictures by Rush
Nov 15 2024

It's a bit too much, but I enjoyed it

Debut by Björk
Nov 16 2024

Very entertaining! Still a bit immature but that's her sound.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Nov 18 2024
Doolittle by Pixies
Nov 30 2024

I'm surprised at how much I liked it. It's punk, it's rough, it's fun.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Dec 01 2024

I love DnB and this was overall enjoyable, but I don't think it fits into this exercise. It's too niche and too repetitive.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Dec 02 2024

Mesmerizing African sounds, with a blues twist. Very enjoyable.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 04 2024

Enjoyable! It's weird but in a good way.

Skylarking by XTC
Dec 05 2024

It's weird and sometimes too much, but it's quite entertaining.

Hotel California by Eagles
Dec 07 2024

Parts of the album are not great, but it's a great sound overall.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Dec 08 2024
25 by Adele
Dec 12 2024

Boring and repetitive

Revolver by Beatles
Dec 15 2024

It's not my favorite Beatles album, as I prefer their fully experimental side, but this album is an amazing listening experience

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Dec 16 2024

pretty shit

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 17 2024

Bob is a legend and his music is timeless

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Dec 18 2024

better than expected

Bossanova by Pixies
Dec 21 2024

Maybe not as iconic as Doolittle, but their sound is so unique and exciting

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Dec 24 2024

More blues than I like, but it is still unique.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Dec 27 2024

The real Emo

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jan 04 2025

What a fun listen!

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 06 2025

Are Nirvana a bit overrated? Maybe. But this album is really a perfect rock album

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jan 09 2025

Definitely not the Bee Gees you'd expect. And not for the better.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jan 10 2025

It's like a nightmare. I hated every single sound

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jan 15 2025

Amazing soundscape. Feels like it influenced a lot of music coming after it, especially post-punk and post-rock

Woodface by Crowded House
Jan 16 2025

Trash

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jan 20 2025

Groovie!

Boston by Boston
Jan 21 2025
Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 24 2025

Not my cup of tea

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Feb 08 2025

I understand his lyrics are great. But this is really not my genre and the music is not that enjoyable

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Feb 10 2025

The 80s are inherently dumb and playful. I never liked that about this decade, but I admit that it works for me when it goes all in on the weirdness. This album does exactly that. "Wordy Rappinghood" is a masterpiece.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Feb 11 2025

What a great discovery! Loved every second of this. It defies genres and it creates an amazing vibe you just don't want to end.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Feb 15 2025

For now, this is the best Young album I got. Still don't like his voice, but this album is quite enjoyable.

Feb 16 2025

I like having Electronic music albums on this list. This one is a bit too bland tho.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Feb 17 2025

It is definitely too long and some songs are bland. But there are many great moments in this.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Feb 21 2025

Cool sound, but it gets boring quickly

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Feb 22 2025

Ok, fine, I'll play Cuphead again...

OK by Talvin Singh
Feb 23 2025

Love a lot of the ideas here, it just feels a bit outdated now.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Feb 27 2025

Not all songs work, but it's a very interesting album full of ideas. Favs: Helicopter / Coronado / He Would Have Laughed

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Mar 02 2025

His voice is extremely annoying. This is horrible. The second half saves it from a 1 by having more "rock" vibes.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 06 2025

Started quite strong and then got repetitive quickly. He has a great energy, but it is just too "pop" for me.

Horses by Patti Smith
Mar 07 2025
Mar 08 2025

Great discovery. Thematically strong, musically maybe a bit disjointed. But there are so many great songs and you can feel the love/anger/passion that went into making this.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Mar 09 2025

Musically, it sounds nice but man, everytime Morrissey's vocals come in, I wish they didn't. Annoying voice and always sings the same 2 notes.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 13 2025
Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Mar 20 2025

It's cool, but a bit derivative.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Mar 22 2025

Atmospheric

Sulk by The Associates
Mar 26 2025
Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 29 2025

Love the sound! It sounds so ahead of its time

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Mar 31 2025
Damaged by Black Flag
Apr 02 2025

\m/\m/

Da Capo by Love
Apr 03 2025

Fun psychedelia

Electric by The Cult
Apr 04 2025

Repetitive Hard Rock, it kinda slaps but gets boring.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Apr 06 2025

Unexpectedly experimental

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Apr 16 2025
Green by R.E.M.
Apr 17 2025
Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Apr 19 2025

Don't love the idea of live albums BUT this one is THE live album

Guero by Beck
Apr 22 2025

Really kept me interested from beginning to end. Super creative.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
May 02 2025

So entertaining! Short but intense; it feels like one of those trippy scenes in movies set in the 70s where everyone takes drugs and then starts seeing creepy shit.

Tago Mago by Can
May 04 2025

First half was an easy 5, then the second half gets into the classic "70s prog rabbit hole".

21 by Adele
May 09 2025
Shleep by Robert Wyatt
May 10 2025
Gold by Ryan Adams
May 12 2025
Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
May 15 2025

Annoying voice. Not my thing.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 16 2025
The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
May 21 2025

Hate his vocal style. But musically it's the best Smiths album yet

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
May 30 2025

Dramatic

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 02 2025

funky!

Timeless by Goldie
Jun 04 2025

Junglist massive!

Kenya by Machito
Jun 06 2025

So much fun! Love the vibe!

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jun 07 2025

Perfect Beatles album

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Jun 09 2025

Love the psychedelia, but it's long it's live

More Specials by The Specials
Jun 27 2025

This reggae too white

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 29 2025
You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Jun 30 2025

Hated it even more than other Morrissey stuff

Jul 01 2025

A boring version of Radiohead mixed with a boring version of Beck. Some songs are good, but the album drags.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jul 05 2025

Finally, a 5 for a Neil Young album. This one really just works.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jul 06 2025

Repetitive and I don't like his voice, BUT it accomplishes what it should: \m/\m/

The Libertines by The Libertines
Jul 07 2025

It's like Arctic Monkeys but worse

Mask by Bauhaus
Jul 08 2025

More like a 3.5. I like the vibes.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Jul 10 2025

So many bangers. Crazy how all the Americans on this site don't know who they are and how influential they were

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Jul 11 2025

Really enjoyable

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 12 2025
First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Jul 13 2025

The first band I have ever been obsessed with. Consumed this, together with their follow-up "Gran Turismo". It's heavy and light, dark and sweet, bleak and positive. Nina is my goddess.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jul 18 2025

500. This is THE album

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jul 22 2025

Janis!

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jul 28 2025

Bit conflicted with this one. But it's quite fun and musically they are great

Suede by Suede
Jul 30 2025
3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Aug 04 2025

Funky!

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 06 2025

Bland vanilla patriotic rock. It's more stereotypical than music made by ChatGPT with the prompt "Bland vanilla patriotic rock"

Brothers by The Black Keys
Aug 08 2025
Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Aug 09 2025

I like this singer more than Dickinson tbh

Aug 13 2025

Not the masterpiece everyone makes it, but enjoyable. It's too over-produced and too long. Also, fuck Ye.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Aug 17 2025

Of course based on quality alone this should be a 1. But I did listen to the cassette a lot as a 12y, so it gets a 2

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Aug 21 2025

I feel like I'm too dumb to fully understand this music. But it's still quite enjoyable while working

Tical by Method Man
Aug 25 2025

love the dark vibes

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Aug 26 2025

A tough one to review. The bangers are great, musically there is a lot to love. But Kiedis singing is horrible in most songs. I feel generous today so it's a 4 lol

Spiderland by Slint
Aug 27 2025

Wow, I didn't know this was the album that started the whole post-rock movement. It's dark and uncomfortable.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Aug 28 2025

Some great songwriting on there. But her voice is a limitation

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Aug 30 2025

I remember being pleasantly surprised when this album came out, as it felt refreshing for a popstar like Madonna to make downtempo-ish music.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Aug 31 2025

I just can't understand it, I guess. But I totally respect the quality and importance.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Sep 03 2025

Could be repetitive at times, but I like his songwriting

Sep 06 2025

Even if it's a little weird to have a OST in here, this album's atmosphere is AMAZING

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Sep 09 2025

It's interesting, but it doesn't always work

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Sep 17 2025

Not a fan of live albums, but this one is really good and the sound quality is not too bad.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Sep 24 2025
Stankonia by OutKast
Sep 25 2025

Very long but really unique!

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Sep 27 2025

Surprised about how much I liked this. Perfect indie rock album.

So by Peter Gabriel
Sep 29 2025
Kid A by Radiohead
Sep 30 2025

Kid A is a masterpiece

Smile by Brian Wilson
Oct 02 2025

Not always enjoyable, but it's a moment in history

I See You by The xx
Oct 05 2025

It's crazy how much better Jamie XX solo music is compared to The XX's. This album is fine, but definitely bland and often boring

Pretenders by Pretenders
Oct 09 2025

surprisingly fun!

Oct 10 2025

A combination of great songs, great acoustic versions, and a moment in history make this album unique

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Oct 21 2025
War by U2
Oct 22 2025

Better than I imagined, definitely better than their later stuff

Tommy by The Who
Oct 24 2025
The Doors by The Doors
Oct 29 2025

Masterpiece

En-Tact by The Shamen
Oct 30 2025

Horrible

In Utero by Nirvana
Nov 02 2025

I prefer Nevermind, but this is still a solid album

Who's Next by The Who
Nov 03 2025

The best The Who album, so many bangers!

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Nov 04 2025

it's ok, but a bit too derivative

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Nov 05 2025

Not much to say, a fkn masterpiece!

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Nov 06 2025

It's closer to a 2, but the first few songs are bangers

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Nov 08 2025

So energetic! Her best album

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Nov 09 2025

Like a very cool soundtrack from a 2000-era Guy Ritchie movie

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Nov 10 2025

I love the more experimental side of Radiohead. This album evokes so many emotions. I feel sorry for people in their reviews thinking sadness is not an appropriate emotion when listening to music

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Nov 12 2025

Repetitive but funky-fun!

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Nov 18 2025

Hard to rate this one. It's long and the beginning of a switch in a sort of 80s sound that I personally don't like. But it's bold and deep, something I will always appreciate about Pink Floyd.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Nov 19 2025

I didn't hate it. Obviously not an easy listen, but I think it's superior to a lot of boring stuff on this list.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Nov 21 2025

Quite an experimental mix of electronica and trip hop

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Nov 22 2025

Kinda Nick Drake-y

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Nov 23 2025
The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Nov 24 2025
The White Album by Beatles
Nov 28 2025

Lots of ups and downs, as this album feels too long and not cohesive enough. There are some amazing songs and a lot of fillers.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Nov 29 2025

Extremely outdated sound. I understand it was influential, but it's not pleasant now

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Dec 02 2025

Liked it less then the other SY albums on the list

Dec 04 2025

Not a fan of the gangsta side of this, but I do love the softer side

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Dec 05 2025

Very interesting and perfect for certain occasions, just not for many

Bad by Michael Jackson
Dec 10 2025

Michael Jackson moonwalked so shitty pop could ruin (music)

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Dec 12 2025

Bit repetitive but I like the atmosphere

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Dec 14 2025

I understand it's important and high quality, but I'm too dumb to fully appreciate it

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Dec 16 2025

It's better than most pop music of today, which is not much but it's something

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Dec 18 2025

Really enjoyable

Cut by The Slits
Dec 23 2025
You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 07 2026

I'm not religious, yet I sense the power of a man in his last few days saying goodbye to this world and talking to his god. Such a unique experience

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jan 08 2026

Super fun!

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 09 2026
Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jan 11 2026

Part dream scenes from a movie, part Final Fantasy soundtrack

Third by Soft Machine
Jan 17 2026

Tough one to rate. I actually liked a lot of it. But it does what I don't love about prog too much: long long album with long long songs that were fun for them to play but not necessarily for us to listen to

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Jan 21 2026

So cool. Not giving 5 cause I prefer their later, more complex stuff, but this album is super enjoyable

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jan 22 2026

It's a nice production with cool sounds, but it sounds to me like a Flume album without the oomph.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Jan 25 2026

Absolutely surprised about how much I liked it. It's futuristic and unique. Also, always loved the song Where's Your Head At and finding out it samples M.E. was great.

Jan 28 2026

It's true that they sound like Coldplay, but definitely a blander version of them.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 01 2026

I love Loveless, but this earlier album feels a little too immature

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 08 2026

It's good but I can't seem to love it

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 09 2026

Too Eighties for me. I do not like the sound.

D by White Denim
Feb 13 2026

What a great discovery! Psychedelic but super accessible

Feb 25 2026

They are cool!

Ctrl by SZA
Feb 27 2026

maybe not very varied, but I do like her sound and her voice

Slipknot by Slipknot
Mar 01 2026

Not as varied as Deftones or Korn, but still ticks the anger box

Elastica by Elastica
Mar 13 2026

pretty cool

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Mar 16 2026

very unique

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 17 2026

Definitely better than his other stuff. A bit too repetitive, but I didn't hate listening to this.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Mar 18 2026

bit better than the others, but still hard to digest

Quiet Life by Japan
Mar 19 2026

Quite interesting

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Mar 24 2026

it's ok, but still cannot fully enjoy Costello's music

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Mar 25 2026

Actually not bad. More like a 3.5

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Mar 31 2026

A bit too "New Wave" for me, but I appreciate the originality

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Apr 01 2026

so boring. More like a 1.5.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Apr 04 2026

I actually like her music more than other similar artists, like her sister.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Apr 05 2026

Not as bad as some reviews here make it sound.

S&M by Metallica
Apr 07 2026

Conflicted with this one, cause on one hand I like the idea and some songs, on the other hand this is toooo long and the orchestra doesn't always add much.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Apr 10 2026

It's live, and it's too long, both negative criteria for me. BUT it can be really fun at times.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Apr 11 2026

raggae music save mi life

Blackstar by David Bowie
Apr 12 2026

I like the dark atmosphere and experimentation.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Apr 15 2026

Love me some UK Garage!

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 16 2026

My usual problem with music that only cares about lyrics.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 21 2026

not as original as Loveless, but pretty cool

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Apr 23 2026

very unique

Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 25 2026
Apr 26 2026

Hard to rate this one. Would be a 3, but extra point for historical relevance.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Apr 27 2026

Short and fun

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Apr 28 2026

So dark and heavier than the Cure I knew.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 29 2026

Definitely better than the average country music in here

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
May 02 2026

Kinda like a 3.5 but more like 3.4 so it gets a 3

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
May 03 2026

Hillbilly Trash

Murmur by R.E.M.
May 04 2026

It's definitely the best out of all the (too many) R.E.M. albums I got. Still not good enough lol

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 05 2026

It's hard to rate, cause there's some good stuff. It's just not my style.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
May 06 2026

Wow so hard this one. I thought 3 hours would destroy me, and maybe they did, but most songs are good and unique. I appreciate the experiment.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 07 2026

Super fun and very influential

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
May 08 2026

A bit too religious for me, and it's definitely repetitive. But it does have interesting sounds.

Parachutes by Coldplay
May 09 2026

My god, the first two albums were so fantastic. It's really a shame how they turned into a shitty commercial band shortly after that.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
May 10 2026

It's very stylish, maybe a bit repetitive in some parts.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
May 11 2026

Not bad, not bad

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
May 12 2026

So unique. Maybe not the easiest listen at first, but it's amazing to discover this album layer after layer.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
May 16 2026
My Generation by The Who
May 19 2026

bit immature, but My Generation is a banger

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
May 20 2026

Started really awful and generic, but the second half is actually quite strong and evocative. This is an average

May 21 2026

Most of it is really bad, but Tainted Love and a couple of other songs take it to a 3.

May 24 2026

It's weirder and less accessible than everything that came after. But it's unique and full of amazing sounds.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
May 26 2026

Too long and not as good as her later work

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
May 27 2026

I thought I would hate it, turns out it's not too bad

Tapestry by Carole King
May 28 2026

Not my genre, but I actually enjoyed this a lot

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jun 01 2026

Really cool downtempo stuff

Arise by Sepultura
Jun 07 2026

More standard metal than their future Roots, so I liked it a bit less. Still very powerful shit.

Leftism by Leftfield
Jun 11 2026

It's always hard to rate electronic music on this list, because only the outdated ones are represented. I wish there were more Electronica...

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 12 2026

Lovely

90 by 808 State
Jun 13 2026
I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jun 15 2026

Loved it. So much energy and fun

B-52's by The B-52's
Jun 16 2026

Craaaaazy!

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Jun 19 2026

It's badly produced and rough, but it's definitely cool

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jun 20 2026

I don't particularly love these "big stadium" rock artists, cause they are very repetitive. But I'd say this album has enough bangers to get a 4

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jun 21 2026

Softer than her previous stuff, which I like a little less.

Atomizer by Big Black
Jun 23 2026

It's punk and rough, but maybe too rough

Jun 24 2026

It's imperfect and a bit self-indulgent, but musically it is still a quintessential Lennon sound.

1977 by Ash
Jul 01 2026

Come on, Jackie Chan, oh oh oh oh oh oh!

Jul 02 2026

It's on! Definitely not the right Korn album to be on the list, as the first two albums are both stronger. But yeah, I went through this phase, so I have to give it a 5.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jul 03 2026

Fun!

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Jul 04 2026

Dirrty and Beautiful are good songs, but this album is too long and she gets boring pretty quickly

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jul 07 2026

I'd personally rather listen to old tango, especially because I don't love the vibraphone contribution. But I appreciate the experimentation.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jul 09 2026

I was surprised to like this. She is raw and super cool.

Drunk by Thundercat
Jul 10 2026

So cool. Love the funky weird sound. Gets a little repetitive after a while, but I did enjoy it a lot.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jul 12 2026

it's a bit repetitive, but it's also cool and bluesy af

Risque by CHIC
Jul 13 2026

Disco Disco

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jul 14 2026

The guy literally sings only using 2 notes. So fucking annoying. At least the basslines are really good.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 15 2026

It's not my favorite side of Beatles, but it's still fun

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 16 2026

if someone asks me what's my least favorite genre, I'd probably just send them this album

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jul 18 2026

too 80s for me

Closer by Joy Division
Jul 20 2026
Jul 21 2026

He brought rap music to "da" club, which is definitely something worth having the album on this list.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jul 22 2026

It's cheesy and very very pop. Let Me Entertain You is a banger tho

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jul 23 2026

No, but really... fuck country music

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jul 25 2026

Started and ended strong, but the middle part is more of the boring alt-rock sound from that era

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jul 26 2026

It's really weird, not gonna lie. But I do respect the boldness

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jul 28 2026

A great album full of creative ideas. Surprised that the involvement of B. Wilson was minimal.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jul 30 2026

Just for Bitter Sweet Symphony, it's worth 4 stars. The rest of the album is pretty solid
