Popular Reviews

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

Wow, didn't realize the type of person Clapton is, and I honestly never really listen to his music much. I don't hate the music; it's fine for background music at work, but it's difficult not to consider the artist as well as the art.

En-Tact by The Shamen

I listened & chose my rating, then looked at some other reviews. LOL I'm sticking with mine, I like this style of music. It's great for work, keeping me energized to get through the day.

I Against I by Bad Brains

I've never heard of Bad Brains so I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. I'll listen again & check out more of their stuff.

Soul Mining by The The

I love it! Very nostalgic

This was interesting. Listening to Johnny Cash sing Personal Jesus is worth a star on its own. I'd listen again but can't say that I loved it.

All Ratings (1025)

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Nov 06 2023

I recognized a lot of these songs but never paid attention to the artists. I'll add grunge to my genres to explore

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 07 2023

I went into listening thinking I wouldn't enjoy this and I wouldn't choose it on my own but it wasn't horrible.

Cross by Justice
Nov 08 2023

Another one I didn't know what to expect, but I liked it.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Nov 09 2023

No strong feelings about this album either way.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Nov 11 2023
Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Nov 12 2023

No feelings either way. I could have this on the background not be distracted by it.

1984 by Van Halen
Nov 13 2023

It's another album that reminds me of high school. There are some good songs but nothing that stands out for me.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Nov 14 2023

Not familiar with this artist or album. I looked at the release date and was surprised it was 1979. It feels like it would have been earlier.

xx by The xx
Nov 16 2023

I recognized the song Crystalised but overall feels like something that would be playing in a coffee shop.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nov 18 2023

Wish I could give a 2.5. I wouldn't say I disliked the whole album enough for a 2 but not neutral enough for a 3. Felt like I was listening to the same song for an hour.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 20 2023

I can't even deal with his voice anymore

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Nov 21 2023

I thought the haunted feeling of songs like I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and Walking After Midnight would appeal to me and I wanted to like this one more than I do.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Nov 23 2023

Added Underground as a "liked song" - reminds me a lot of ManMan

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Nov 24 2023

Classic blues. It's easy to see the inspiration he gave to so many artists.

B-52's by The B-52's
Nov 25 2023

Fun & weird

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Nov 27 2023

Nice background music for work. Impressive this was all improvised

Arular by M.I.A.
Nov 29 2023

New music to me, I liked it well enough to listen to it again.

Music by Madonna
Nov 30 2023

Another one I wanted to like but didn't hit for me. Too much synth maybe?

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Dec 01 2023

I'm familiar with The Power Station's cover of Get It On, and I heard of T.Rex but didn't realize they had recorded it in the 70s.

Garbage by Garbage
Dec 02 2023

I liked the album.

Tical by Method Man
Dec 03 2023
Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 04 2023
Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 06 2023

I've never been a Springsteen fan. Listening to it now, still not. Just no.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Dec 07 2023

I could listen to this on repeat. I was familiar with Genius of Love but none of the other songs.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Dec 10 2023

Memories of cruising 12th Street in high school or makes me think of Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark. I like most of the songs, although a few i would have preferred to skip.

Eagles by Eagles
Dec 11 2023

It's interesting listening to music I heard as a kid as an adult, understanding references that went over my head back then. I liked the whole album but Earlybird was a surprise, and now on my favorites list.

Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 12 2023

I wanted to like it but some songs felt like nails on a chalkboard.

Phrenology by The Roots
Dec 13 2023

I wasn't familiar with this group or the genre so I don't have knowledge for comparison but I really enjoyed this album.

Boston by Boston
Dec 15 2023

I forgot how much I like Boston.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Dec 16 2023

Instrumentals always rate high for me and this is a good one to have playing in the background while I'm at work.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Dec 18 2023

I absolutely hate any version of You Are My Sunshine which doesn't help my rating of this album.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Dec 19 2023

I wasn't familiar with any songs other than White Rabbit and Somebody to Love but I enjoyed the whole album.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Dec 20 2023

Uncomfortable and ick

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Dec 28 2023

I remember my mom playing Cathy's Clown for me a kid but I wouldn't opt to listen to this on my own.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Dec 29 2023

Wish I understood the lyrics

Dec 30 2023

I liked the beats but not the lyrics. This isn't an album I would ever listen to again. 1 and done.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Dec 31 2023

I'm not familiar with Iggy Pop (except Lust for Life) but I enjoyed this album & would listen again.

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 01 2024

I love ABBA!

The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 02 2024

Another one of the bands I liked in the 80s that I didn't realize had earlier stuff. I'd listen to it again but I prefer the later music

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jan 03 2024

Fun album to listen to on my way back into the office after the holidays. I've never heard of this group but I knew Apache immediately.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jan 04 2024

I enjoyed the album and would listen again. Nothing stood out for me though.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jan 05 2024

I love listening to female rappers.

Smash by The Offspring
Jan 06 2024

I'd like to give this a 3.5 I'd listen to it again but not something I'd really think about.

Jan 08 2024

I only make it to track 9 before I couldn't take it anymore. I'm not listening to 2 hours of this.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jan 09 2024

My idiot brain always confuses Radiohead and Motorhead. I saw the album and didn't want to start my Monday listening to what I thought would be heavy metal. Nice surprise! I had to make a note to add Treefingers to my Liked Songs playlist.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jan 10 2024

Not all tracks were available on Spotify but I enjoyed the ones I could listen to

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jan 11 2024

Very 80s sounding, which was nostalgic but some of the lyrics were kinda cheesy, although nice there wasn't any swears.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jan 13 2024

The only Sinatra songs I listen to are Christmas ones. The album is okay but it gives me Olive Garden vibes. I wouldn't opt to listen to this on my own.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jan 15 2024

Only 2 songs from this album were playable on Spotify and I didn't like either

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jan 18 2024

I've heard of the Pixies but never listened to them. I like this album and will check out more.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Jan 19 2024

This is one where I don't understand the appeal.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jan 20 2024

I already had Heroes on my liked songs list but don't know the other songs. I'm enjoying this album.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jan 23 2024

Not my style but I wouldn't skip a track if it came on a random playlist.

Jan 24 2024

I've liked a lot of their songs but never paid attention to the group. I'll check out their other stuff

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jan 25 2024

Not bad but may feel better about it if I didn't wake up with a headache today.

Signing Off by UB40
Jan 26 2024

This project is making me realize I know one or two songs from groups and never listen to any more of their stuff. UB40 is one of those groups. It's fun expanding my music knowledge. I enjoyed this album and will listen to more of their stuff.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jan 27 2024

As I get older, I appreciate strong female vocals so I was thrilled to hear Janis Joplin. Also as I get older, I'm not so much a fan of a forceful guitar or the problematic album art but it's a reminder of that era.

Skylarking by XTC
Jan 28 2024

I have a couple of XTC songs in my Liked playlist (and thought they were in my Wrapped too but they were not, which surprised me). I enjoyed the album and will listen to more of their stuff.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 30 2024

I wanted to rate it higher but ended up skipping a few songs because of the repetitiveness of the lyrics. I wouldn't opt to listen to this again.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jan 31 2024

I've never heard of The Waterboys, but I will check them out! I love the Celtic sound.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Feb 01 2024

I was into hair bands when I was a teen in the 80s so I had higher hopes for this album. I couldn't finish it, stopped at track 5.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Feb 02 2024

I've never heard of Bad Brains so I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. I'll listen again & check out more of their stuff.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Feb 03 2024

Maybe not the best Floyd album but still amazing.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 04 2024

I'm having a difficult time deciding my rating. First, being Hendrix, I feel like I should rate higher but honestly, I'm not into endless guitar riffs. So I thought maybe a middling 3. But would I listen to this again, no. I like All Along the Watchtower but again, not I'm going to get excited about it if it plays on a random shuffle playlist. So maybe a 2? But it's Hendrix so maybe a 3?

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 05 2024
Machine Head by Deep Purple
Feb 06 2024

I had this on in the car while running errands with my son this morning. I didn't pay much attention but it wasn't something I absolutely loved or hated.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Feb 07 2024

I liked it - I expect David Bowie will be one of my top artists for 2024.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Feb 08 2024

Any group or music from the '90s wasn't on my radar, since I watched Disney movies and Barney episodes on VHS that decade. I enjoyed this album and would listen to it again.

Spiderland by Slint
Feb 09 2024

I've never heard of this group. I'm not sure I'd listen again but it was okay.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 10 2024

Is Coldplay the band people always make fun of? I can't remember but I like this album and would definitely listen again.

Elastica by Elastica
Feb 14 2024

I've never heard of this group but I love this album

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Feb 15 2024

Ooh, I'm digging this. The 1st track gave me Oojami vibes. Spanish lyrics are a plus!! I'm checking out their other stuff

Green by R.E.M.
Feb 16 2024
Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 20 2024

I can't. I couldn't finish it. I just don't like this style of music.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Feb 21 2024

I had heard of Nick Drake from a line in Amanda Palmer's Ukulele Anthem but I never thought to look up the artist. I'll have to check out his other albums, I enjoyed this one.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Feb 22 2024

"What "machine" do you think they were raging against?"

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Feb 23 2024

I listened to the remake on Spotify (since that's where the link took me) and the original on YouTube Music. The YouTube one is so much better! I love music like this in the background while I'm at work. 3/5 for the Spotify remake 5/5 for the original.

The Band by The Band
Feb 24 2024

I have heard of the song Up on Cripple Creek but am not familiar with any of the other songs. Across the Great Divide sounded like a theme song to a 70's TV show. I stopped at Jemima Surrender.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Feb 25 2024
Feb 26 2024

Brings back memories and I recall my husband saying this was his favorite band when we first started going out. It's okay but I don't have strong feels about it.

Odelay by Beck
Feb 27 2024

I haven't listened to Beck in a while but I could easily binge listen to his stuff.

Kala by M.I.A.
Feb 29 2024

I liked it enough to listen again

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 02 2024

I liked it but I did skip a few songs because of the repetitiveness. I would rate it a 3.5 but I don't think I like it enough to push it up to a 4.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Mar 03 2024

It's okay & I'm familiar with a few songs but I don't think I would listen again intentionally.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Mar 04 2024

Feeling off today so that may affect my rating.

Mar 05 2024

Not a style of music I listen to but it was fun hearing the audience and imagining the showmanship

Guero by Beck
Mar 06 2024

I love this album! I have it on CD and listened in my car before my 2002 Ford Focus's stereo decided to eat CDs.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 07 2024

I liked some songs but not a genre I normally listen to.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 09 2024

It's okay. Nice background music for working

Soul Mining by The The
Mar 10 2024

I love it! Very nostalgic

John Prine by John Prine
Mar 11 2024

I tried to get through it, I gave up on the 3rd track. I can't handle his nasally twangy voice.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Mar 12 2024

I don't even have to listen to this, automatic 5. My cousin had the album back in the 80s and I'm familiar with all the songs and loved the videos when MTV played videos! LOL

No Other by Gene Clark
Mar 15 2024

It's okay - Good for background music but not something I'd opt to listen to again.

I wanted to like this more. It's nostalgic for me, my mom loved Conway Twitty so I heard a lot of his duets with Loretta. I loved the honky tonk piano & steel guitar but the songs all started to sound alike. If rate 3.5 but boosting to a 4 for the memories

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Mar 22 2024

It was okay, not something I'd listen to and wouldn't listen to it again.

The Score by Fugees
Mar 26 2024

At the start of Ready or Not I had to double check my queue and make sure Enya didn't somehow get mixed in. I love the song Boadicea and was surprised to hear it sampled.

Nixon by Lambchop
Mar 28 2024
The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 31 2024
Blue by Joni Mitchell
Apr 03 2024
Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Apr 05 2024

I quit at "Dink's Song", which on Spotify is a woman singing?? Something felt off, like he's trying too hard, and decided I'd give the album a 1. Then I read the Wiki bio. Makes sense now.

Low by David Bowie
Apr 06 2024
Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 08 2024
1999 by Prince
Apr 09 2024
Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 23 2024
Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 24 2024
Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 27 2024

I've never listened to Amy's music before and I like it more than I expected to.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
May 04 2024

I'd rate it 3.5 if I could. I'm not too into Big Band sounds with vocals but this is nice album to have in the background at work

Copper Blue by Sugar
May 06 2024

Never heard of this group, but I like the album. I'll check out their (few) other albums.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
May 07 2024

Love a few songs, and have seen the movie. I prefer Dark Side of the Moon as an overall album

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
May 08 2024

I love it & will check out more of his music. The cat meowing in Nostalgia made me laugh because some people brought a cat to my work location, and it would get into the ceiling space. You could hear it meowing as it wandered around and eventually, management said the cat couldn't be here so the person who brought it, took it home. While listening to the song, I thought they had brought the cat back, so I paused the music to see if I could hear the cat. Nothing, so I restarted the music and later realized THAT's where the meowing was from.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
May 09 2024

I was happy to see this show up today! I've loved this album since I got the CD when it was first released. This was the first current music I started listening to again after a decade of being a stay-at-home mom and Disney movie soundtracks nonstop.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
May 10 2024

I really enjoyed this album. It reminded me of the jazzy music that was on old-school Sesame Street.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
May 11 2024

It's okay. I'm not a huge fan of Joy Division but I wouldn't skip if one of these songs came across my playlist.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
May 12 2024

I had heard of Tori Amos but never listened to her music. I know she was parodied in the Bob's Burgers episode Food Truckin' (one of my favorites) but I didn't realize how accurate the parody is. I wouldn't opt to listen to this on my own.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
May 13 2024

Honestly, I don't remember much about listening to this. No strong feelings either way.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
May 14 2024

Listened on my drive to work. I'll listen again

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
May 15 2024

Chill music makes for a nice commute. I'll look into more of his music & compositions.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
May 16 2024

Oh lord, this was a ride. At first, my gut reaction was Nope, 1 star. Do Not Like. But it grew on me. I laughed because it made me think of a group of newbie band kids, the 1st time with their instruments, everyone making noise and doing their own thing. It also reminded me of something I would hear on Dr. Demento which I haven't thought about in a long time. I could give it 2 stars but I'll go for 3 because I would listen again if I were in the right mood. Also, it's currently not available on Spotify so I listened on YT Music

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
May 17 2024

It was interesting hearing Elivs not sound "Elvisy" on some songs. Tutti Frutti by anyone other than Little Richard is just wrong. It's not a genre I normally listen to but I like the boogie piano style. I wouldn't listen to this album again though.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
May 18 2024

I didn't hate the album but it's not something I would listen to again.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
May 19 2024

Listening at work, love the vibe.

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 21 2024

It's hard to not listen to the song Bad without Weird Al's parody, Fat, slipping into my brain but I liked the album.

Kenya by Machito
May 22 2024

I loved it. I've said I don't like big band music, but I think it's the vocals that I don't like. I'll look up more of his work & Latin Jazz in general

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
May 23 2024

I've never listened to PJ Harvey but I enjoyed this album.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
May 24 2024

I'm only familiar with Bittersweet Symphony so I was curious what their other stuff sounds like. I would listen to this again and again.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
May 25 2024

I remember having this album as a kid or someone I knew had it and we listened to it a lot. Dolly's always going to get a 5.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
May 26 2024

Although I grew up on country, I never listen to it anymore so I'm unfamiliar with a lot of new artists. I added a few songs to my favorites (Lonely Weekend and Rainbow) I'd rate a 3.5 but I don't think I'd listen to it on my own unless I was in a mood, so giving it a 3.

May 27 2024

I mostly liked it- a few times I considered skipping ahead when things were a bit discordant but I stuck it out.

Play by Moby
May 28 2024

Another artist I had heard of but never listened to their music. I'll check out more.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
May 30 2024

It's okay - not something I would pick on my own but I didn't hate it.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
May 31 2024

Chill background music for work.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jun 02 2024

I couldn't finish it. I was surprised this was recorded in 2005 and the singer isn't much older than me. Sounds like something my mother-in-law would enjoy.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jun 03 2024

Never heard of this artist. The album was meh, okay background music for work. Reading the wiki about the artist, okay, that explains a lot.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jun 05 2024

I listened & chose my rating, then looked at some other reviews. LOL I'm sticking with mine, I like this style of music. It's great for work, keeping me energized to get through the day.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jun 06 2024

I had some of these songs on my 'music to check out playlist' for a few years but not sure what prompted me to do that. I enjoyed the album enough & will check out some of their other stuff.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jun 07 2024

I thought I had already rated this one, I know I listened to it (playing catch up is a struggle!)

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jun 09 2024

Enjoyed the album, listening to it while catching up at work I didn't pay a whole lot of attention but I'll listen it again.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jun 11 2024

Enjoyable I feel like hosting a cocktail party now LOL

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jun 12 2024

A new artist to me, and I enjoyed the album.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jun 13 2024

Getting back into the habit of listening to an album a day again (and a lot to catch up on!) This was enjoyable and I would listen to it again. I've never heard of this artist & will check out their other stuff.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jun 14 2024

Another band I was familiar with but didn't know their name.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jun 15 2024

Not my type of music

S&M by Metallica
Jun 16 2024

I've avoided listening to this one because I'm not a heavy metal fan, but balancing it out with symphonic music was a nice surprise. I may listen to some songs again but not the whole 2 hours plus album.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jun 17 2024

Playing catch up 6 months later - this one was okay. Nothing really stood out, good or bad.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jun 18 2024

Playing catch up, I had this album and Neon Bible. I like this album better overall but not enough to bump up my rating.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jun 19 2024

I love Immigrant Song (and it makes me think of Rathergood Viking Kittens more than Marvel's Thor) but no other song made me pause to look at what was playing.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 20 2024

It's okay, again not something I'd opt to listen to on my own.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jun 21 2024

I appreciate the artistry but I'm not a guitar person. The Shape of Things was driving me crazy because it was so familiar - then it clicked - Sister Christian by Night Ranger. It's fun to discover what inspired songs that came later.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jun 22 2024

I couldn't finish. I appreciate the artistry but repetitive lyrics, particularly towards the end of a song, irritates me.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jun 23 2024

I thought I would like this more than I did. It was okay, and I liked a few songs, but overall, just meh.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jun 24 2024

Not something I would listen to on my own, and I doubt I'll listen to it again.

Moon Safari by Air
Jun 25 2024

I loved this and will look at more of their stuff.

Jun 26 2024

Good background music while catching up at work. Songs sound very similar, but that's not always a bad thing.

Jun 27 2024

Never heard of this group, never heard any of the songs, but will listen again & check out more of their stuff. Looks like they have a new release too, The big Decider (2024)

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jun 28 2024

A pleasant surprise, a new artist to look up. I could listen to this type of music on repeat every day.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jun 30 2024

I love the 80s vibe and enjoyed the songs but didn't listen to all the remixes. I may check out some of their others stuff.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jul 01 2024

Back to playing catchup after a crazy month. I was excited to listen to this one while catching up at work. I'm familiar with some songs but loved the whole album. Will listen again and added a few more songs to my favorites list.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jul 02 2024

I've listen to The White Stripes, but never Jack White solo stuff - I'd listen to it again

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jul 03 2024

I can't finish this album.

Jul 04 2024

Well, Eno is now a controversial artist. I usually like him but this one was a "did not finish". The cicada sounding guitar (?) on Cindy Tells Me did me in. I'll listen to his later ambient stuff.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jul 05 2024

I enjoyed it, unobtrusive music for the office.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jul 06 2024

I like some Elton John songs but overall, this album isn't something I could get into.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jul 07 2024

Some songs not available on Spotify. I liked the album and favorited "You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks"

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jul 08 2024

It's good, kind of remember this album from when I was in high school. I like Prince but I'm not a huge fan. I may not opt to play this album but I wouldn't skip a song if it were on my playlist.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jul 09 2024

I didn't realize how many songs I'm already familiar with on this album

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Jul 10 2024

Nothing memorable, good for background music.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jul 11 2024

It's okay, I want to hate on Morrissey but I'd probably listen to this again.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jul 12 2024

I've heard more songs by this artist in the last 2 years than I ever did in the late 80s. I enjoyed the album and will listen to it again

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jul 13 2024

Only 4 tracks available on Spotify. I don't want to bother hunting down the rest.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jul 14 2024

I love it but have to remove a star because Morrissey

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jul 15 2024

2nd Kate Bush album in 4 days - it's okay. I don't think I'd choose to listen to it again, but wouldn't skip it.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 16 2024

Arcade Fire has shown up as often as Kate Bush (I'm playing catch up) but I haven't ended up disliking them yet! I'll listen again

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jul 17 2024

Maybe I'm in a mood for punk today, this album hits.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Jul 18 2024

This one was emotional & nostalgic. It reminds me of the music my grandparents would listen to and going to the Oklahoma Opry as a kid with my mom.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jul 19 2024

Its okay - nice background music but seems like it's been playing much longer than an hour.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jul 22 2024

3rd Kate Bush Album in 10 days - I couldn't finish this one. This is also the earliest album out of the 3 so maybe it's just her earlier work I dislike.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jul 23 2024

Not bad but after 5 mins of the drum solo I was done.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jul 24 2024

Enjoyed the album and will check out some of her other stuff. Reading the bio on Spotify, I'm curious about her 80's music now.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jul 25 2024

The more I listen to Bowie the more I love him.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Jul 26 2024

I like bluegrass and this reminds me music my grandparents & great-grandparents would listen to but not really my cup of tea.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 27 2024

I don't hate it, probably wouldn't listen to it again either. I thought I liked Radiohead.

California by American Music Club
Jul 28 2024

Album not available on any streaming service I use, so I listened to the top 5 songs on Spotify. I would listen to more of their stuff.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 29 2024

I liked Imagine but not really anything else.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 30 2024

Love it! I can't listen to disc 2 (not available on Spotify) but it's fine since it's live versions of some songs from disc 1

Kenza by Khaled
Jul 31 2024

Surprised by the variety of the album. There's only 1 song available on spotify so I listened on youtube music.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 01 2024

It's okay but not something I would choose to listen to again.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Aug 02 2024

Its okay but I'm not fond of live albums.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 03 2024

I have a friend who loves Fleetwood Mac so I've heard this album (cassette, CD) often. The Chain made me a bit sad, reminding me that Our Flag Means Death has been canceled.

Purple Rain by Prince
Aug 04 2024

Still an amazing album 40 years later

Dry by PJ Harvey
Aug 05 2024

I like it, and will listen again when I'm feeling angsty.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Aug 06 2024

Not a genre of music I normally listen to anymore, but I can tolerate it more than some other types.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Aug 07 2024

After 45 mins I'm tapping out. Maybe I'll try to finish the whole 3 hours but I can't imagine its going to get any better.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Aug 08 2024

Sabotage has been on my favorites list for a while, but I haven't listened to the whole album. I'd give it a 3.5, but I'll round it up to a 4.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Aug 10 2024

No. If I'm going to listen to Elvis, I'd prefer earlier stuff.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Aug 11 2024

This is horrid

Abraxas by Santana
Aug 12 2024

I should listen to more Santana

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Aug 13 2024

Uh, another live album. I couldn't finish it. After a while, it just felt like noise.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Aug 14 2024

Another artist I never heard of and wasn't sure what to expect, but I love the ska/funk vibes.

Horses by Patti Smith
Aug 15 2024

I wanted to like this one more

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Aug 16 2024

Never heard of this artist. It's okay, nice background music for the office.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Aug 17 2024

I liked the music and don't mind the length of the album but live albums irk me and I don't need an introduction at every song. I understand why it would be done at a live performance in the 50s though.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Aug 18 2024

I like the armadillo on the album cover.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Aug 19 2024

It's okay - I love the groovy'ness of it but eventually, everything started to sound the same and unmemorable.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Aug 20 2024

I tried and didn't make it far. I'm not going to force myself to listen to it.

The Cars by The Cars
Aug 21 2024

I love this album. Memories of jr high when I started listening to music on my own instead of what my mom listened to. I didn't realize it was released in '78. I thought it was early 80s but that was probably due to Moving in Stereo in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Aug 22 2024

Another new to me artist, love the album and will re-listen.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Aug 23 2024

Wasn't sure at first but I really liked this album.

21 by Adele
Aug 24 2024

I'm playing catch-up again with my list, but this is a great album to start my workday with. I've heard the popular songs, but never listened to the album. I will listen again!

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Aug 26 2024

Okay for background music at work but wouldn't listen again.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Aug 27 2024

I love it! Will add it to my music for work playlist

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Aug 28 2024

Not as bad as I expected

Aug 29 2024

At first I got Kraftwerk vibes, and towards the end I got Pink Floyd vibes. I like the album and will listen again, but not sure I love it. I'd give it a 3.5 but will bump up to a 4 because it was good background music for working.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Aug 30 2024

I like it, will listen again

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Sep 01 2024

As a middle-aged white woman, Come on Eileen has been one of my favorite songs since I was 13 but I had never listened to any other Dexys Midnight Runners songs. The album was okay and I would listen again but not something I particularly love.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Sep 02 2024

Okay to listen to while at work. Not something I would choose on my own.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Sep 04 2024

I had never heard of this artist, and at first thought "This has potential." An upbeat & peppy start but then I began to have doubts. When I got to work, I was sad laughing at the horrendous lyrics, and I didn't question why I'd never heard of him.

Sep 05 2024

This was interesting. Listening to Johnny Cash sing Personal Jesus is worth a star on its own. I'd listen again but can't say that I loved it.

Sep 07 2024

I got halfway through disc 1, it's okay and I'll go back and try to finish the album (I really hate long albums now).

Sep 08 2024

Most of the songs were okay. I skipped parts of Space Odyssey, Moog Raga, and Universal Mind Decoder because of an irritating, high-pitched sound. I probably wouldn't listen again though.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Sep 09 2024

Another nostalgic album. I thought of rating it a 4 (I like a lot of songs, but not sure I'd listen to the whole album again) but adding one for the band's perseverance.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Sep 10 2024

This isn't a genre I enjoy, but it wasn't as horrible as I thought it may be.

GI by Germs
Sep 11 2024

Normally I look up the album wiki and read about the artist before I listen, but today I just went straight into the album as I left for work. My first though was 'I'm not in the mood for punk today' but by the time I got to work I was enjoying it. Like usual, never heard of the artist but I'll listen again,

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Sep 13 2024

Not for me. I debated giving it 2 stars but towards the end, it was tiresome & repetitive.

Sep 14 2024

Familiar with Killer Queen, but didn't know any other song. I liked it well enough to listen to it again.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Sep 15 2024

I like folk, jazz and Joni Mitchell. Never heard any of the songs on this album but will revisit it.

Sep 16 2024

Reminds me of the music my mom would put on when we had to clean the house on the weekend. Not horrible, but not something I'd choose to listen to on my own.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Sep 18 2024

I liked a few songs, but this isn't an album I'd listen to again. No strong feelings about it.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Sep 19 2024

I wasn't sure what to expect with this album, another artist I've never heard of but I loved it! Will definitely listen again & check out other albums.

Sep 20 2024

I enjoyed the popular songs but not sure I'd relisten to the whole album again.

Dookie by Green Day
Sep 21 2024

I think we have this CD but I never listened to it. I would listen again now.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Sep 24 2024

I couldn't get through the 1st Eminem album that showed up on my 1001 and I not going to waste my time with this one.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 25 2024

I had Heads Will Roll on my favorites playlist, but wasn't familiar with any other songs. I also looked back at my history & noticed I didn't like the 1st Yeah Yeah Yeahs album (Fever to Tell) that I rated so I went into this with an open mind. I liked this one a lot better, I don't remember what I disliked about the other one but I will listen to this one again.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 26 2024

I liked it well enough. Nothing particularly stood out though.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Sep 27 2024

Not for me. Not horrible but felt very dated

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Sep 28 2024

I never listened to this album when it came out, apart from the popular songs on the radio. I was hoping I'd like it more than I did. I wanted to give it points for nostalgia but even that feels forced.

Sep 29 2024

Love this album! The combo of Eno & David Byrne is amazing. Definitely going into my favorites list!

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Sep 30 2024

Interesting album. I like the ethereal sound and will check out their other work. The repetitiveness on Svefn-g-englar nearly caused me to ditch listening to the rest of the album.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Oct 01 2024

Nothing extraordinary, surprised it was on Spotify.

Illmatic by Nas
Oct 02 2024

Not a style I normally listen to but not as bad as others I couldn't get through.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Oct 03 2024

Long and tiresome, unnoticeable background noise.

Oct 04 2024

I really dont mind rap and hip hop but not going to listen to misogynistic lyrics

Diamond Life by Sade
Oct 05 2024

I love it. Could listen on repeat.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Oct 06 2024

The Cramps came on my radar after Goo Goo Muck was featured on the Netflix show Wednesday. I've wanted to check out more of their stuff, so I was excited when they showed up on my review list. I loved it and will listen again.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Oct 07 2024

Difficult to find to stream but worth it. H20 Gate Blues is still powerful 50 years later.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Oct 08 2024

Standard Zeppelin. I love Kashmir, the rest is okay. IV will always be my favorite

Country Life by Roxy Music
Oct 09 2024

I enjoyed this album. I've heard of the group but couldn't name any of their songs.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Oct 12 2024

I like it well enough to listen again

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Oct 13 2024

I'm not a heavy metal fan but slogging through the genre playing catch up. This was okay - Run to the Hills was the only song I'm familiar with and it works for energetic background music.

OK by Talvin Singh
Oct 14 2024

Okay for background music while I'm working, but not something I'd listen to again.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 15 2024

Perfect for a Monday morning commute

Oct 17 2024

Interesting, some songs I liked, and others were getting on my nerves with the repetitiveness. Wish I could rate 3.5 but I'll bump it up to a 4 because I would listen to some of the songs again.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Oct 18 2024

Couldn't get through it, not a style of music I like.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Oct 19 2024

Not a big ZZ Top fan but haven't heard these songs in a while, so it was a fun listen. I think the music videos are more memorial than the songs themselves.

Medúlla by Björk
Oct 21 2024

Never really listened to Bjork but I liked the album and will check out more.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 22 2024

I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did. A Simple Desultory Philippic made me laugh. I'm going to have to give this one a 5.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 23 2024

First thought "sounds like a Disney villain song" and thought maybe things wouldn't continue down a dark path (I didn't read the album title, just pulled it up on Spotify to listen during my commute). I gave up after track 3. I don't need to listen to songs about murder when I can read the news.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Oct 24 2024

I was excited when this showed up on my list for today. I've loved "Come On Eileen" since 1982 and still see the video in my mind when I hear the song.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Oct 25 2024

Not a genre I enjoy nor would listen to on my own.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 26 2024

Left it playing in the backround while working. I get Blind Melon and The Smashing Pumpkins confused so at first I was excited about the album, then realized, no, it's not who I thought it was. Then I read the review about Cartman and now I can unhear it LOL. and the "Despite all my rage..." line reminds me more of Weird Al's Alternative Polka than Bullet with Butterfly Wings. I don't hate the album but not something I'll listen to again.

London Calling by The Clash
Oct 28 2024

Another album I was excited to see on my list!

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Oct 29 2024

I could listen on repeat

Oct 30 2024

I've heard of the Dead Kennedys but never listened to anything specifically, but I liked this album. Normally I'm not too fond of repetitive lyrics, but I guess it works for me with punk music. I'd have to be in the right mood to listen, so I'd give it a 4.5 but bumping up.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Oct 31 2024

Meh, I wanted to like it more but couldn't really get into it.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Nov 01 2024

No strong feelings, nice background music, feels very 60's

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Nov 02 2024

I've binged listened to this album so many times, and Meat Loaf has been on my ultimate fantasy bowling team along with Jesus & the Dalai Lama since the early 90s.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Nov 03 2024

Interesting album, no strong feelings about it.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Nov 04 2024

Never heard of this group, so I had no expectations. Wasn't bad, I'll check out more of their stuff.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Nov 05 2024

First, I, for some reason, thought this was a Cat Stevens album (I knew he changed his name but couldn't remember to what). I was plesantly surprised that it's not. I enjoyed the album although I felt like it dragged on forever. I would listen to it again and check out his other stuff.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Nov 06 2024

Back to playing catch-up, a few Pixies albums on my list now. They're good background music for work

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Nov 07 2024

Another "it's okay for background music, but rather unmemorable" Gave me Django Django vibes though and after reading the Wiki, I understand why.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Nov 08 2024

It was okay, and I get why so many previous ratings comment about David Bowie (who I've learned, through this project, is one of my favorite artists). It's a 3.5 for me, but not sure I can bump it up to 4.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Nov 09 2024

I love it. I haven't felt like listening to music lately but I wasn't going to leave Siouxsie as DNL. I needed her today.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Nov 10 2024
Bossanova by Pixies
Nov 11 2024

Didn't like this as well as some of their other albums. It's still okay though.

Queen II by Queen
Nov 12 2024

I wanted to like this one being Queen but I couldn't finish it. I ended up skipping to the Seven Seas of Rhye since it has the most plays, and still meh. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't listen again.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Nov 14 2024

2+ hours is too long for this, plus a live album. bleh.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Nov 15 2024

I tried and I can't. Maybe because it's a slow week at work and I need something more upbeat to listen to without repetitive lyrics.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Nov 16 2024
Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Nov 17 2024

Not my taste in music.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Nov 17 2024

Not my favorite album but still AC/DC. My guilty pleasure band LOL

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Nov 19 2024

I don't think I have heard of this band, but the song Red Eyes sounds familiar. I can't place where I may have listened to it before unless it was a "since you like this music listen to this" addition to the end of queue.

Pump by Aerosmith
Nov 20 2024

I don't like this one as much as I remembered I did when it came out. I think I confuse it with Permanent Vacation.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Nov 21 2024

For a morning that nothing is going right, it was nice to have an album I enjoyed.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Nov 22 2024

OMG, This album feels so 80s. I thought of the Superbowl Shuffle on one of the songs (Renegades of Funk, I think) and although I wouldn't listen to it again intentionally, I wouldn't skip it if something came on my playlist. And the album art!

Murmur by R.E.M.
Nov 23 2024

I like R.E.M. but haven't heard many of these songs. I enjoyed the album. I didn't realize it was their debut.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Nov 24 2024

Another that's okay for background music while working but not something I'd opt to listen to otherwise.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Nov 25 2024

It's okay for background music. Never listened to them in the 80s, even then it felt like something you'd hear in a doctor's waiting room.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Nov 26 2024

I enjoyed it, and would listen again but not something I'd normally pick on my own.

Nov 27 2024

I'm not sure if it's his voice or someone who was on the album with him but after a while, I couldn't stand it anymore! Overall it was better than I expected, however, it's not something I would listen to again.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Nov 29 2024

I didn't think I would like it at first, but it grew on me.

Parklife by Blur
Nov 30 2024

I like a few songs by Blur but don't like them enough to listen to full albums. I want to like them more than I do, but repetitive lyrics are my "nails on a chalkboard"

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Dec 01 2024

I really like music like this and will listen again. The song Lush 3.1 reminded me of the music on the Nintendo DS Game Zenses which I haven't thought about in forever!

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Dec 02 2024

Very 60's, enjoyed it but not something I normally listen to. I'd listen again and may check out other albums.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Dec 04 2024

As much as I despise Morrissey the person, I love the music.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Dec 05 2024

Nostalgic - this is the type of country music I grew up on and while it's enjoyable to revisit, not the type of music I enjoy as an adult.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Dec 06 2024

So excited to see Kraftwerk show up for my album today. I'm not familiar with this one (Tour de France is my favorite) but still solid. Starting my commute to work The Robots was surreal, imagining what the future could be like.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Dec 07 2024

Never heard any of the songs other than Bittersweet Symphony, which fit my mood perfectly for today's commute.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Dec 08 2024

First thought, this sounds a bit like The Flaming Lips. After deciding on my rating, checking the global reviews, I wasn't the only one who thought that! I'd listen again, nice unintrusive music to have playing while at work.

Dec 09 2024

I already have The Scientist and Clocks on my Liked Songs list but nothing else really stood out. Good for background music

Calenture by The Triffids
Dec 10 2024

Even though this was released in the late 80s, I've never heard of the band. Because of its length, I've been putting it off my 'catch-up' list. I ended up skipping Disc 2 when I realized it was demos /rehearsals. Some of the repetitive lyrics were off-putting, and Jerdacuttup Man was bizarre (I had to look up the lyrics to that one). I don't see myself revisiting this album, but I may check out more from the group.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Dec 11 2024

No strong feelings about it, but towards the end noticed the repetitiveness of lyrics and skipped a few songs.

Pornography by The Cure
Dec 12 2024

I don't need to listen to this but I will, on repeat for the rest of the day 🖤

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 13 2024

Didn't enjoy the album. I had At The Zoo on my Liked Songs playlist but I don't know why. I thought that song may have been what would make the album higher, I was mistaken.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Dec 14 2024

I wasn't sure about this album when I pulled it up on my app but I was surprised. I enjoyed it and had to go back to my history if I had listened to Screaming Trees in the past but didn't remember. I'll check out some of their other stuff.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Dec 15 2024

Another album I couldn't finish, it began to feel like a headache that wouldn't go away.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Dec 16 2024

Surprised, as I didn't know what to expect. I don't mind crooner type music, but this felt off. There's an ick factor I can't place. The instrumentals were good, and he has a nice voice but I wouldn't listen again.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Dec 17 2024

I thought I wasn't familiar with this group, but I'm only familiar with the first song on this album, which is on my Liked Songs playlist. Very early 80s sound. The album cover made me laugh because I went through the fisherman sweater phase about that time as well

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Dec 18 2024

Nope. I forced myself to listen more than the 1st song but couldn't finish the 2nd song either.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Dec 19 2024

Back to playing catch-up in the Electronica genre, this is the music I love to have playing in the background while I'm work. Its upbeat but not in your face distracting.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Dec 20 2024

Another album I was happy to see. I would listen again

Leftism by Leftfield
Dec 21 2024

I wasn't sure at first but I enjoyed it.

Dec 22 2024

While very different from other XTC songs I'm familiar with, I enjoyed this album & would listen again.

Slayed? by Slade
Dec 23 2024

Oh Slade! I wasn't familiar with this album but I knew that Quiet Riot had covered Mama Weer All Crazee Now. I'm most familiar with the single Run Run Away (It's a good song to practice belly dance zil triple drills to) It's a fun listen and I would revisit it.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 24 2024

I still can't stomach his voice.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Dec 25 2024

Not bad, I'd give it a 3.5 but not sure I can bump it up to a 4.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Dec 26 2024

It's okay. Wouldn't seek it out to listen again. Not a fan of southern rock country

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Dec 28 2024

I love the weird, and being from Oklahoma they have a special place in my heart. Do You Realize was one of my favorite songs during a lunchtime yoga class.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Dec 30 2024

Nice background music

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Dec 31 2024

Added a few songs to my liked songs playlist.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Jan 02 2025

Nice music to play in my office, will listen to it again.

Vulnicura by Björk
Jan 03 2025

I thought I had listen to this already but I've had 3 Bjork albums fairly recently, and they seem to have a similar sound. I still enjoy it and would listen again.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jan 04 2025

When I opened this album on Spotify, the app started playing the previous album I had listened to, so I was confused as to why this sounded like something I had already heard. Maybe the confusion helped me appreciate this album more.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jan 05 2025

Not something I would listen to, it's okay but wouldn't revisit.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jan 06 2025

Enjoyed the album, seemed to start softer and ended more industrial. An interesting journey.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Jan 07 2025

I tried, but I gave up at track 5. It's like listening to the drunk guy at karaoke who won't stop singing.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jan 08 2025
Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jan 09 2025

New music to me, really enjoyed it. I may have to attempt to learn Portuguese.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jan 10 2025

I wanted to like this one more, I may try giving it another listen sometime later.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 11 2025

I prefer the later Beatles but this was an enjoyable album

Third by Portishead
Jan 13 2025

I didn't hate it, and I liked Machine Gun most of the songs. However, I wouldn't listen to it again.

Jan 14 2025

I couldn't make it through. Quit at track 4. I thought the 1st track had a bit of a punk vibe and that I would enjoy the album more but eventually it was nails on a chalkboard noise.

Low-Life by New Order
Jan 15 2025

Nostalgic

Revolver by Beatles
Jan 16 2025

This is the Beatles music I enjoy. I had most of the songs favorited already.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Jan 18 2025

Another new to me group as I'm playing catch up (again!!) I like the album and would listen again.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jan 19 2025

I really enjoyed this - it would be a nice album to listen to on a cozy fall day, sipping tea after tending the garden.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Jan 20 2025

It's not available on Spotify, but I found it on YouTube Music. I couldn't get through two tracks. I don't think it was specifically her vocals or the music separately, but the combination of the two was horrendous.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jan 21 2025

I tried, I almost got through the 1st song and young me loved music like this but old me doesn't really care for it anymore.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jan 22 2025

Mostly okay, but not something I would normally listen to. It was fine for background noise

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 26 2025

I'll never skip a Jethro Tull song.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jan 27 2025

I enjoyed the album, I've never heard of the group but will look into their other works.

Suicide by Suicide
Jan 28 2025

At least it was short but WTF did I just listen to?

Destroyer by KISS
Jan 30 2025

I managed to listen to the whole album, thankfully it's a short one

Feb 01 2025

I'm playing catch-up. I listened to this album yesterday and thought I rated it. I enjoyed it & will listen again.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Feb 02 2025

I don't hate it, and it did bring back a memory of me seeing them open for Aerosmith in 1990 but not something I would seek out to listen to.

The Visitors by ABBA
Feb 04 2025

You can tell the group is winding down on his album. Interesting reading the wiki on the album, and following the rabbit trail, reading about the members and what they're doing now. I've always loved ABBA and enjoyed the different sound of this album.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Feb 05 2025

It sounds like something I'd hear on a 70's sci-fantasy soundtrack. Nice background music for working on reports, with its weird ethereal quality.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Feb 06 2025

Couldn't finish it - I hate "Live at..." albums. They never capture the energy of being at a live performance. Not being a blues fan doesn't help.

Pink Flag by Wire
Feb 07 2025

I loved it & will listen to this one again.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Feb 08 2025

Album not available on streaming so listened to their top 5 songs. It's okay

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 09 2025

I always forget how much I like this until I listen to it.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 11 2025

I couldn't finish it. I like weird instrumental music but this one wasn't for me.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Feb 12 2025

I thought I would like it more than I did but it's a nice album for background music at work.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 13 2025

I made it through the whole album, and there were a couple of songs I enjoyed but overall not something I cared for the album.

Feb 14 2025

Do I like Irish music? Yes Do I like Folk music? Yes Do I like Punk music? Yes Do I like this album? No, I LOVE IT!!!

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Feb 15 2025

Interesting album, I don't think I'd seek out the album to listen to again but I wouldn't skip if any songs ended up on a generated playlist.

Aja by Steely Dan
Feb 16 2025

Feels like waiting room music. Not the type of jazz I would opt to listen to but works well for background music.

Be by Common
Feb 17 2025

Still, I tried, but not my thing.

Feb 18 2025

I feel like I've heard of them, but not familiar with any of their music. Its okay - nothing really stood out.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Feb 19 2025

Nice background music. I may check out more of their stuff.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Feb 20 2025

Playing catch up again, I had a Primal Scream on my daily recently, but I liked this album better.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Feb 21 2025

I first heard of Ian Dury from Madness- Drip Fed Fred so I was curious about this album. It didn't disappoint. Weird and fun, reminding me of the risque British humor like Benny Hill.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Feb 24 2025

Meh, I can't deal with his voice. I looked up to see who the lady was singing After the Gold Rush (it was him). I was able to finish the album, but I wouldn't listen to it again.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Feb 26 2025

No, I tried, I can't get through. Less than 30 albums on my "catch-up list"and they're all ones I've avoided. Hopefully there will be a few surprises /sigh. Not this album though.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Feb 27 2025

Another one I don't have any strong feelings for

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Feb 28 2025

It's catchy but not something I'd listen to again

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Mar 01 2025

Nice palate cleanse after a couple of 1 star albums while playing catch up.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Mar 03 2025

More music that is unobtrusive for the office.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Mar 04 2025

No strong feelings, good background music at work if I keep the volumn down.

Third by Soft Machine
Mar 05 2025

Slightly All the Time was okay, but listening to this after The Dave Brubeck Quartet has jaded my opinion.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Mar 06 2025

Tried to listen, but didn't get too far. Not a genre of music I like, although I do try to give the albums a chance.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Mar 08 2025

I grew up on country music but I have never heard of Nanci Griffith, granted when this album was released I was more into new wave & hair bands but I'm surprised I never heard anything (or maybe I did & I don't remember) from the late 70s and early 80s when my mom still controlled the radio. I'm going to check out more of her stuff.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Mar 09 2025

Another album I thought I would like more than I did. It's okay, no strong opinions about it.

Mar 10 2025

It's okay - put the album on and started trying to figure out a new process being implemented at work. I didn't pay much attention to the album, but it wasn't distracting.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Mar 12 2025

Another great album to have on in the background at work.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 13 2025

I feel like all my reviews at the same, good background music for work. Familiar with some songs but never listened to the whole album. Was okay, but probably won't listen to the album again. LOL

Arise by Sepultura
Mar 14 2025

Nope

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Mar 15 2025

I don't know if I've already listened to this album & forgot to rate it (since I'm playing catch up) or if I'm actually familiar with some of the songs. Either way, I enjoyed the album and will look up more of his stuff.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Mar 17 2025

Another one that takes me back, having the cassette when I was in high school. Also introduced me to Aerosmith.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 19 2025

No, I couldn't finish. I apparenlty have Frontier Psychiatrist on my liked songs but again, I think spotify is adding stuff without my knowledge.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Mar 20 2025

Icky is a good word to describe this album.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 21 2025
All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Mar 22 2025

Not too bad, got through the whole album. Not something I would normally listen to but nice for a change of pace I guess.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Mar 23 2025

Not horrible, the '60s vibe is fun. I thought knocking out a shorter album (33 mins) on my catch-up list would be easy, but I'm just halfway through it, and I'm sure it's already been more than an hour.

Tago Mago by Can
Mar 25 2025

Interesting. Aumgn felt very "Cthulhu'esque" to me.

Risque by CHIC
Mar 26 2025

First thought was I had never heard of this group, but as soon as the 1st track started I was like "oh yeah! I know this song!" Not fond of the repetativeness of the lyrics though, probably wouldn't listen to it again but I did add Good Times to my favorites list.

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 28 2025

So nostalgic, with an iconic video and movie scene. I can't rate this anything other than 5.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Mar 30 2025

Trying to be open-minded going into albums of genres I don't like so much but it's a challenge.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Mar 31 2025

Still catching up - I chose this one because Penguins but had no idea what to expect. I instantly loved it. Adding The Sound of Someone You Love Who's Going Away And It Doesn't Matter to my favorites

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Apr 01 2025

Had it on while I was working on switching around my laptop for work, nothing really caught my attention though.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 02 2025

Another nice album to listen to while at work. I remember first hearing Elvis Costello in the 80s and not liking the music at all, but I'm not sure what it was about it that I didn't like. Weird how musical tastes change.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Apr 03 2025

Wasn't sure what to expect but really enjoyed this album. Sometimes creepy vibes, sometimes jazzy - I added Crumble to my Liked Songs playlist.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Apr 04 2025

There are a few Zeppelin songs I like, but none of them are on this album. Couldn't make it through the 1st track.

Electric by The Cult
Apr 05 2025

This would have been the type of music I listened to in the mid-late 80s, but I have never heard of this band, or any of their songs. I understand why. It's not bad (except the Born to be Wild cover) but nothing stands out or grabs my attention

Crazysexycool by TLC
Apr 07 2025

Waterfalls is the only song I'm familar with & would listen to again.

Timeless by Goldie
Apr 08 2025

I like the music but the album is too long.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Apr 09 2025

Another nostalgic album, taking me back to being 14 yrs old, being bullied in gym class for not shaving my legs above my knees, and just discovering Def Leppard by overhearing other girls talk about them during a bus ride home from school.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Apr 10 2025

Not bad, never heard of the group, and see on wiki they've morphed over the years but are still active. I may check out some of their stuff. Although having grown up on country music I tend to avoid it now, it's nice to a steel guitar once in awhile.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Apr 11 2025

Never heard of this group but I enjoyed the album and will check out some other stuff.

American Idiot by Green Day
Apr 12 2025

I thought I had already rated this (playing catch up ugh!!) cuz I'm sure I listened to it recently but I don't mind listening again

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Apr 13 2025

I never considered myself a Bowie fan until I participated in this project.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Apr 14 2025

Pefect jazzy background to work to. Helps that I also love jazz.

Woodface by Crowded House
Apr 15 2025

Another band I've never heard of, so no preconceived ideas about it. It's okay, unobtrusive background music.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Apr 16 2025

Nothing impressive. Not bad but not something I'd chose to listen to again.

Apr 17 2025

I got through most of the album before Spotify went down. I'd listen to it again & check out their other stuff. I'm familiar with the 1st track but none of the others.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Apr 18 2025

Weird in a good way. I wouldn't listen to it with headphones though, I think it would make me dizzy.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Apr 19 2025

I always enjoy an instrumental album, particularly ethereal electronic music and this is once I will revisit.

Apr 20 2025

Nope, another I couldn't get through the 1st track. Maybe I shouldn't be listening to music today.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Apr 21 2025

Not something I'd normally listen to, didn't hate it but wouldn't seek it out.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Apr 22 2025

I think I've listened to this album three times now, but I keep forgetting to rate it, and then I forget what I planned on rating it. For 3 listens, it gets 3 stars.

Blur by Blur
Apr 23 2025

No strong feelings about this album. Only familiar with Song 2. I'd listen again though.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 24 2025

Now I knew what to expect with Captain Beefheart, and still reminds me of something I would hear on Dr. Demento. I like this one a bit better than Trout Mask Replica.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Apr 25 2025

I like weird, and I've probably heard them back on Dr. Demento, but I have to be in the right mood, and today isn't that day. At least it's a relatively short album.

D by White Denim
Apr 26 2025

Never heard of this group but I'll check out more.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Apr 27 2025

I may check out more of her stuff, fairly bland as far as country music goes. Feels like Lillith Fair fodder (oh just looked it up & she DID play at Lillith Fair in 1998!)

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Apr 28 2025

No, there was nothing I enjoyed; skipped around a few songs, didn't finish.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Apr 29 2025

New to me artist. I'll check out her other stuff.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Apr 30 2025

Enjoyed the album, and would listen to some tracks again.

May 01 2025

Spotify has combined the album with Streetheart as well, so only listened to the 1st 8 tracks. Rather dull unimpressive music.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
May 04 2025

I was introduced to Manu Chao by my Spanish teacher, and enjoy his music. I'll check out more

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
May 06 2025

I thought being a mid 80s album, it wouldn't be bad but the whole weird country vibe is off-putting. I did enjoy some of the songs but not enough to bump it up a star.

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 07 2025

A few songs are already on my favorites list, but I had to skip some.

May 08 2025

Trying to find things to write about these albums when I'm powering through to catch up (was at 139 down, now at 21) is getting tedious. Another one I'm unfamilar with the artist, liked it well enough, and glad being a "two disc" album according to Spotify it was only just over an hour long.

Dare! by The Human League
May 09 2025

Nostalgic for me. Although I've never listened to the whole album, I'd listen to it again.

New Wave by The Auteurs
May 10 2025

It's okay, but rather boring. Wouldn't listen again

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
May 13 2025

Maybe I was in the right headspace for this today.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
May 14 2025

Open the album on Spotify, and there's already a song in my liked songs (Take Your Mama). I look at my liked songs playlist, and I have 3 Scissor Sisters songs on it. I don't remember adding them, but I did recall Take Your Mama when I heard it. Loved the album, will listen again.

Rio by Duran Duran
May 15 2025

Don't have to listen to it, but of course I will and imagine the videos that were constantly on MTV when I was lucky enough to hang out after school with a friend who had cable in the early 80s.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
May 16 2025

Boots and Pants - don't mind music like this for the background at work. helps keep me moving.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
May 17 2025

OMG OMD!! Instant 5 but I'm listening to it again—more music of my teen years.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
May 18 2025

Not horrible but not something I'd revisit.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
May 19 2025

Very interesting - the Spotify link from here only has 2 tracks available but searching online, the 50th anniversary deluxe version was recently released and the whole 2.5 hours are on Spotify. I like weird ambient music so based on the 2 tracks, I'll give it a 4 but I'll listen to the deluxe version soon.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
May 20 2025

Most of the album isn't available on Spotify, not really a genre of music I would listen to. Probably won't listen again.

Debut by Björk
May 21 2025

I was excited to see this album and listened right away (although I have over 100 albums to catch up on!) The only song I was familar with is Big Time Sexuality but I enjoyed the whole album and would listen again.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
May 22 2025

Its okay, I thought I would enjoy this more than I did. I think I'd prefer the songs mixed with other genres in a playlist than listening to the whole album again. Everything sounded the same after awhile.

Harvest by Neil Young
May 23 2025

Out of all the Neil Young albums I've had to listen to so far, this is the most tolerable.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
May 24 2025

No strong opinions either way

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
May 25 2025

Solsbury Hill is one of my favorite songs, but I can't give this album higher than a 2. Everything else I forced myself to listen to (except I did skip Excuse Me halfway through)

New Forms by Roni Size
May 26 2025

Interesting electronica, I enjoyed it.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 27 2025
McCartney by Paul McCartney
May 28 2025

Nice background music for work.

1977 by Ash
May 30 2025

Got to track 4 before I quit because it became headache-inducing noise

School's Out by Alice Cooper
May 31 2025

Only familar with the title track, and really only remember that from The Muppet Show. I was surprised the variety of the rest of the album. Wouldn't listen to it again, but it was better than I expected.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Jun 01 2025

I had listened to this a few weeks ago but forgot to rate it. It was okay as far as hip hop / rap goes for me.

Jun 04 2025

Didn't realize this was released in the late 60s, which explains the 70s sitcom theme song vibe I got from it.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jun 05 2025

Some songs were okay, some I skipped. 2 hours is too long for this album.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jun 07 2025

Nope. Quit after 1:05. Can't deal with live albums, not a fan of this type of music, not going to waste 2 hours of my life listening to this.

Jun 08 2025

Not bad but not something I'd listen to again. Would rate it more of a 2.5

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Jun 09 2025

I thought I may like it at first but by track 6 I was ready to skip it all. It's not horrible bad but I feel like a lot of these albums aren't something I need to hear before I die.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Jun 10 2025

I first heard PJ Harvey in the mid 90s on the Batman Forever soundtrack. I think I should like her music but I don't. I keep trying to listen to it, and it's not happening.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jun 11 2025

Okay for background music, but not something I'll listen to again.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Jun 12 2025

Not horrible but nothing really grabbed my attention. Luckily it's a short album.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Of course this pops up on my list the day after Brian Wilson passes. I've tried to like The Beach Boys but it's like nails on a chalkboard. Not for me.

Vespertine by Björk
Jun 14 2025

I don't listen to Bjork much, but when I do I really enjoy it

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 15 2025

I wonder how many more Elvis Costello albums I'll get in this project. It's okay, but they all sound the same to me.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jun 16 2025

When the 1st track played l perked up, "I know this song!" Now sure how I know it or from where though! I'm playing catch-up and randomly selecting albums from various genres, and this was my Soul selection. It's an enjoyable album and I will listen again!

Django Django by Django Django
Jun 18 2025

I was surprised this popped up on my list! I used to listen to Default on repeat when it first came out. I enjoyed the album and added a few more songs to my favorites list.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jun 20 2025

I was excited to see this on my list today since Take Five is one of my favorite songs. Listening to the album on my drive to work was giving main character energy! LOL

Jun 21 2025

Nope. I tried and decided not to waste my time.

The Man Who by Travis
Jun 22 2025

No strong feelings about this album

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 23 2025

Another it's okay, I wouldn't skip it but also wouldn't seek it out album.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jun 24 2025

A couple of my favorite songs, would listen to the album again.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jun 25 2025

Very slow, rather depressing music, not the upbeat jazzy Sinatra that normally comes to mind. Although the album is only 49 minutes, it seemed to drag on forever.

Future Days by Can
Jun 27 2025

Not horrible, but I like the instrumentation but couldn't make out the vocals so they were rather distracting.

More Specials by The Specials
Jun 28 2025

Excited to see this one today

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jun 29 2025

I liked it more than other Stevie Wonder albums I've heard in this project (I was actually able to finish this album), but still not something I'd seek out to listen to.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jun 30 2025

I gave up on track 8. Not even the theme from Father Ted could redeem this garbage album.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jul 01 2025

Nice background music for working, I'll look into more of their stuff.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jul 02 2025

Wasn't sure what to expect, I never heard of this group but I really liked it.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jul 05 2025

His voice always startles me when I start to listen, but it works with some of the creepy songs on this album. Gun Street Girl made me think of Ex's and Oh's, while Cemetery Polka made me think of The Nightmare Before Christmas. This album is all over the place and so far, my highest-rated Tom Waits album.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jul 06 2025

Not my type of music but brings back memories of music my mom & grandparents listened to when I was a child. Wouldn't seek this out or listen to it again but didn't hate it.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jul 07 2025

Catching up - Jazz genre. Wasn't sure I'd like it at first, I wouldn't consider this jazz but added a few songs to my liked songs (Son of a Preacher Man, which I'm familiar with, and Just One Smile)

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Jul 08 2025

First, trying to find where to listen to this was a challenge. I found it on Youtube (Not YTMusic). I normally like electronic music, but this was more of a repeated, disorganized cacophony. I'm not in the right headspace today for this type of music, perhaps I'll try it again

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jul 09 2025

It's okay.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jul 10 2025

I enjoyed this album. The last few days have been difficult, and this upbeat album helped my mood.

Jul 11 2025

Wasn't familar with this artist but already have a song on my liked songs playlist (I think Spotify randomly adds songs to it!) I enjoyed the album & would listen again.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jul 12 2025

I feel like I've heard of this band, although I'm unfamiliar with them.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jul 13 2025

I liked this more than I expected. 2 of the longest songs aren't available on Spotify

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jul 15 2025

Nice to have a reggae album on a Monday morning.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Jul 16 2025

Started off hopeful seeing it was released in the mid 80s (My favorite decade) but after the 1st song felt like Temu The Cure. Guess it started to grow on me because by the time I got to work I decided it wasn't horrible but not sure I could give it a 3. Solid 2.5

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jul 17 2025

All the songs sound the same but it's nice background music.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Jul 18 2025

First impression: What in the LOTR acid trip is this album? The more I listened to it, I could feel it growing on me but I'm not ready to move to a commune yet.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jul 19 2025

As far as live albums go this one isn't horrible. Music is okay - I'm familiar with The Who but wouldn't call myself a fan.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 20 2025

I added the two instrumentals to my Liked Songs playlist. Junkie Chase gave me Seatbelts (Cowboy Bebop) vibes. I also want to check out the movie now.

Repeater by Fugazi
Jul 21 2025

No strong feelings, would probably listen again though.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jul 22 2025

Got more than halfway through the album before I gave up.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jul 23 2025

I love Indian music and I love learning so the explanations about the structure of the music is very interesting. Easy 5.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Like many others, this was my album the day after Ozzy died. I'm familiar with War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man, but hadn't heard the others. It's not something I would normally seek out to listen to, but I enjoyed it, and I recognize the influence Ozzy & Black Sabbath had on heavy metal. I don't want to give it a 5 just because of Ozzy's death, but it's a solid 4.5 for me.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jul 25 2025

Interesting blend of country and jazzy lounge music (?) I've never listened to k.d.'s music until this project. Not my favorite style & not something I would seek out, but I wouldn't skip a song if it were on a random playlist.

Jul 26 2025

New to me music - wasn't sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it, despite repetitive lyrics. Nice to hear hip-hop music that's not all hos, dicks, guns & drugs.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jul 27 2025

Some albums I know will be a 1 for me by the time I get to the 2nd song, this album I knew would be a 5.

90 by 808 State
Jul 28 2025

I enjoyed it. I'll have to check out more in this genre.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jul 29 2025

Not my usual go-to but I'm familiar with the album because Judas Priest was my ex-husband's favorite band. I didn't hate it, but not my thing.

Being There by Wilco
Jul 30 2025

No strong feelings but enjoyed it.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jul 31 2025

I thought the name was familar, but as I listened to the album on my commute, I didn't recognize anything UNTIL I got to Without You. I somehow remember the words of this song even though I haven't heard it in years. The vocals give me tingles in my spine (the only other song I've noticed that happens to me is Sound of Silence by Disturbed - and is there a name for this? I just googled it, it's called musical frisson) Then I was singing along with the Coconut song, and there's a Spanish version of Without You!? I thought I would rate it a 4, but I gotta bump it up.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Aug 01 2025

Never heard of the artist, so completely new to me. Not something I'd normally listen to and wasn't horrible (I could get through the album) but not something I'd revisit.

Hms Fable by Shack
Aug 03 2025

Nice for background music, I'll probably check out some of their other stuff.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Aug 04 2025

I enjoyed it, another good album for background music

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Aug 05 2025

Enjoyed the album, and I've enjoyed Paul McCartney's works after the Beatles.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Aug 06 2025

Not horrible but nothing that caught my attention.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Aug 07 2025

Instant 5, another album I don't HAVE to listen to, but I will multiple times.

Aug 08 2025

Another album I had as a teen, I got this one & Scritti Politti Cupid & Psyche 85 for either my birthday or Christmas, so I've already listened to it a lot! Of course, it's gonna be a 5 for me.

Achtung Baby by U2
Aug 09 2025

My husband's favorite band is U2 so I'm familiar with the album. I like it but wouldn't say I love it.

Black Metal by Venom
Aug 10 2025

Couldn't finish even pretending I was listening to Retsko at karaoke

Aug 11 2025

I didn't really care for the whispery breathy style of singing, and wondered if I was going to get through the album during the 1st song. None of the songs really captured my attention.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Aug 12 2025

Fun bops, reminds me of stuff my mom loved. She introduced my oldest to Buddy Holly in the early 90s, which is weird because it would be like introducing someone today to music from the early 90s.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Aug 13 2025

I liked it - upbeat and enjoyable for background music at work.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Aug 14 2025

No strong feelings about this album. Wild Horses is one of my favorites, though.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Aug 15 2025

I had higher expectations seeing this came out in 1987 (so far my favorite decade), but it seems like noise. The cover of Just Like Heaven couldn't merit it an additional star. Now I'll listen to The Cure to get that out of my ears.

Close To You by Carpenters
Aug 16 2025

Nice background music, adding a star for Close to You since it's featured in my favorite movie (Mirrormask)

Rapture by Anita Baker
Aug 17 2025

Not many songs from the album are available on Spotify, but I was familar with them.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Aug 18 2025

I don't normally like live albums, but this one is an exception. It's surreal listening to Cash sing about murder and executions while the literally captive audience cheers and boo when the warden's name is mentioned. LOL

Berlin by Lou Reed
Aug 20 2025

I enjoyed it. Busy playing catch-up at work and on my album list due to being off for a week. Only thing that stood out was the crying child at the end of The Kids, but I didn't pay attention to the lyrics of the song. I may check it out again when I'm not focused on other things.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Aug 22 2025

I thought Games Without Frontiers came out later in the 80s, I'll have to check out his other earlier albums.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Aug 23 2025

No strong feelings, ended up going down an internet rabbit hole about Rita Hayworth after reading the wiki for the album.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Aug 24 2025

Couldn't find the full album but I may be able to piecemeal it together in a playlist if I really dug around. Our House was one of my favorite songs (and videos) as a teen. Anyone else remember them on The Young Ones?

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Aug 26 2025

I really enjoyed this ethereal album after a chaotic and stressful few weeks.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Aug 27 2025

I couldn't finish it. I got Monty Python vibes from the first line of track 1 and gave up on Lion in the Winter.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Aug 28 2025

Chill soulful jazz.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Aug 29 2025

It's interesting to hear some of Woody Guthrie's previously unrecorded songs in such a different style. I can't say I loved the album, but will listen again.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Aug 30 2025

At first, I wasn't sure about this album; it sounded very "staticy," but it had started growing on me when I got to Turquoise Hexagon Sun.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Aug 31 2025

The Sickbed of Cuchulainn has been on my favorites playlist for YEARS! Of course, I enjoyed the whole album. Wild Cats of Kilkenny had me reminiscing about the days I did Irish stepdancing, and then suddenly I was in the Wild West with A Pistol for Paddy Garcia. I will definitely listen to this album again.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Sep 01 2025

Nice motivating background music to work on first of the month reports to. Nothing really stood out to me though.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Sep 02 2025

Loved it and will listen again.

Sep 03 2025

Interesting listen. I stopped to read the lyrics of the final track (Suicide Underground). I didn't realize this album was a soundtrack and after reading the IMDB info on the movie, I may check it out too. I'll have to re-listen to this album as well.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Sep 04 2025

I love jazz and will revisit this one often

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Sep 05 2025

Talking Heads is a favorite of mine so I was excited to see this show up today.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Sep 06 2025

I've never listened to a Taylor Swift album until now, and probably not the best album to listen to on an emotionally difficult morning, but I really liked and will listen again. I realize this isn't her normal style but I enjoy the more mellow and melancholy vibe.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Sep 07 2025

Listened while running errands with my son. I commented one song sounded a bit like The Rolling Stones (I don't remember which now). Nothing else stood out.

Sep 08 2025

I'd rather listen to this than some of the rap and hip hop I've had on this project, despite the creeper lyrics (lock you up and love for days - ewww) but still not something I'd revisit.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Sep 09 2025

This is my favorite Led Zeppelin album. My ex had it; it was one of the only albums he owned that I would listen to all the way through. Battle of Evermore and Going to California are my favorites.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Sep 10 2025

Ahh!! First track, I thought I know this voice, and I know this trumpet. King Louis!!

Sep 11 2025

The name of the album irritates me for some reason and forshadowed how I felt about the songs. I didn't finish, I got as far as Too Many Birds before I gave up. That was a torturous 24 mins of my morning communte.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Sep 12 2025

I think overall I liked some songs better than others. I'd give the album a 3.5 rating but I'll up to a 4 since I may listen to it again. My favorite previously unknown to me song is You Don't Own Me.

Nowhere by Ride
Sep 15 2025

Never heard of this group or album. Nice background music for the office.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Sep 16 2025

I got 17 seconds into the album before I quit. I'm not going to waste my time trying to listen to this.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Sep 17 2025

Soulful but not something I'd revisit.

Sep 19 2025

I'd have to be the right mood but overall liked the album. It's nice to have a short album once in a while too.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Sep 20 2025

The only Mariah Carey song I could name is "All I Want for Christmas is You" and after listening to this album I still can't name any other song. It unintrusive background music I'd expect to hear while shopping at Kohls.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Sep 21 2025

Another one I'm very familiar with. I had the cassette tape in the 80s and listened a lot while driving.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Sep 22 2025

Opening the album in Spotify, I noticed I already had I Believe in a Thing Called Love on my Liked Songs playlist. I couldn't remember when I added it or what the song even sounded like, until I got that track. Oh yeah, that song! LOL The rest of the album is okay but I didn't add anymore to my liked songs.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 23 2025
American Pie by Don McLean
Sep 24 2025

This is one of my dad's favorite albums. I'm more familiar with Weird Al's lyrics for The Saga Begins than American Pie. Vincent was already on my favorites list, but I didn't realise Don McLean sang it.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Sep 25 2025

Not familiar with this artist, although I think I've heard the name. Nothing really stood out for me on the album. Nice background music for work.

Sep 26 2025

I was able to get through my commute listening to this, I may finish the album (I got through about half of it) but still not a genre I'm going to listen to on my own.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Sep 28 2025

While he's problematic as a person, I've liked Jerry Lee Lewis's music for a while. I still dislike live albums and wouldn't opt to listen to this one again but I do like the music.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Sep 29 2025

Good background music. Didn't realize Jah Wobble was the bassist for Public Image Ltd.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Sep 30 2025

Nope, couldn't get through it. I don't think I'll ever enjoy this genre of music.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Oct 01 2025

Nice chill jazzy music to get me through the workday.

Dummy by Portishead
Oct 02 2025

I didn't know what to expect going into this album. I like it more than I had anticipated and will check out their other stuff.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Oct 03 2025

Starsky & Hutch in Rio de Janeiro vibes

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Oct 04 2025

Couldn't get through it, repetitive lyrics are a pet peeve of mine.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Oct 05 2025

This is a difficult one to rate. At first I didn't like it and wondered if I'd get through the album. By the middle, it was okay, and then toward the end, not liking it again. I'd give it a 2.5 but not sure I could really bump it up to 3.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Oct 06 2025

I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it either

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Oct 11 2025

Feels like the obnoxious, annoying kid constantly saying "Hey, watch this. Hey, Hey did you see what I did?" thinking they're being funny and clever. You smile & nod to be polite while thinking "What the f*** is he going on about?"

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Oct 12 2025

Never heard of this group or any of the music, not bad, and I'll check out more of their stuff

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 14 2025

Maybe it's part of my 80's nostalgia, but I enjoyed the album.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Oct 15 2025

Really not familiar with songs other than Blister in the Sun and Kiss Off but it was a fun album to listen to on my commute to work.

Sea Change by Beck
Oct 18 2025

I generally like Beck but can't really get into this album.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Oct 19 2025

Overall, it'd give it a 3. There are some songs I would skip though.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Oct 21 2025

Got a bit behind and was catching up before listening to this one. I wanted to save it for my commute and it didn't disappoint!

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Oct 22 2025

Very 80s sounding, I was surprised to see this was released in 2018. First impressions - rather forgettable. Nothing stood out, even the French versions were rather bland. Great for background music though. I can imagine this playing at some wanna be trendy boutique. I'd give it a 2.5 but will bump it up to 3.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Oct 23 2025

I like it, some songs more than others, but overall I'd listen again.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 24 2025

Takes me back to when I was a teen. I love it

Oct 25 2025

When I saw this today, I thought, "Ugh, not another rap album," but listening to it on my way to work, I was surprised to find that I really liked it.

Damaged by Black Flag
Oct 26 2025

I liked it but would have to be in the mood for it.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Oct 28 2025

Interesting album, though not something I would seek out to listen to again. I had a coworker whose daughter was schizophrenic and would draw and paint as part of her therapy; this album is an audio version similar to those images.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Oct 29 2025

It's okay - no strong feelings.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Oct 31 2025

Enjoyable and nostalgic, will listen again.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Nov 01 2025

Nothing attention grabbing, nice for 60s vibe background music.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Nov 03 2025

Enjoyed it more than I expected. I've obviously heard of Courtney Love but never listened to her music.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Nov 04 2025

Instant 5, I'm gonna listen to it on repeat for the rest of the day

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Nov 05 2025

I really don't like his voice, but eventually the album faded into the background.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Nov 07 2025

The name was familiar and realized when I read the Wiki it was from the fun. song We Are Young. Not familiar with this artist otherwise but I was really impressed by the variety on this album. Come Alive reminded me of Siouxsie Sioux (added to my favorites along with "Say You'll Go") First impressions was a 4 but by the time I finished the album I've gotta go with a 5. I'll check out more of her stuff.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Nov 08 2025

Nice mellow music, love the simplicity of guitar and vocals.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 09 2025

I couldn't get through it.. All the songs sounded the same, and while not absolutely horrible, it started grating on me. Maybe a few songs here and there I can do, but 52 mins straight.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Nov 10 2025

Nice 70s vibe and good for background music.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Nov 11 2025

Not a huge pop music fan, but this was okay. I wouldn't opt to listen to it on my own. It's nice for something different.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Nov 13 2025

Wasn't sure what to expect but this was all over the place! Jazzy medieval hippy cottage core vibes.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Nov 14 2025

I tried but couldn't get through it.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Nov 16 2025

The 1960s folk genre is becoming one of my favorites.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Nov 17 2025

I really try, this is a genre I don't like and I try to listen to the album but uuugh. I couldn't finish this one either.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Nov 18 2025

Being a teen in the 80s I was surprised I hadn't heard of this group. This isn't an album 15 yr old me would have been drawn to. However, 56 yr old me loves it. It's all over the place, jazzy instrumentals, 80s rap vibes, some smooth soul-type songs, which I find more engaging than all songs sounding alike.

#1 Record by Big Star
Nov 19 2025

Played in the background while working, nothing really stood out.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Nov 21 2025

I don't have strong feelings, but apparently 'Drive' was on my liked songs playlist.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 23 2025

Another nostalgic album for me

Let It Be by The Replacements
Nov 24 2025

Thought I already rated this one.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Nov 25 2025

I loved it & will listen again

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Nov 27 2025

It's okay - I've already got a few songs on my favorites list.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Nov 28 2025

Listened on our drive to relatives for Thanksgiving. It's okay.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Nov 29 2025
Nov 30 2025

I like classic country but this seems a bit camp. When I think of Buck Owens, Hee Haw instantly comes to mind so it's hard to separate that from the artist. Plus honestly I'm team Roy Clark anyway :)

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 03 2025

I couldn't finish it.

Ramones by Ramones
Dec 05 2025

Happy to see this album today.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Dec 06 2025

It's okay - nothing stood out. Listened on my commute. 3l

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Dec 07 2025

Almost got through it, it was like nails on a chalkboard.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Dec 08 2025

Maybe if I didn't have a slight headache, I'd enjoy the weirdness of this album more

American Gothic by David Ackles
Dec 09 2025

I gave up during Family Band. I hoped that after the first track, it would get better but it didn't. However, I imagined Mr. Fischoeder singing Ballad of the Ship of State, so that was entertaining.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Dec 10 2025

I enjoyed this album, decided what I'd rate it and looked up other reviews. Still sticking to mine.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Dec 11 2025

It's okay, nothing stood out

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Dec 12 2025

Not something I would normally listen to but I don't skip a Willie Nelson song either.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Dec 14 2025

The first song sounded familiar, like from a movie or TV show but a quick search discovered it wasn't used for theme but I wasn't the only one who that it was. Overall, nothing else stood out. Generic mellow soft rock

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Dec 15 2025

Started listening at work and wasn't really feeling it, but finished the album while doing a workout on my training bike, and it was perfect for that!

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Dec 16 2025

I'm vaguely familar with Suzanne Vega. In the mid 80's this wasn't the type of music I was drawn to but I enjoy it now

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Dec 18 2025

Got through an hour before I gave up. thought I would enjoy it when I started, but it never seemed to end. Too long

War by U2
Dec 19 2025

My husband's favorite band, and I think my introduction to U2 when I was in jr high. I remember sitting on the wall near the student store on lunch talking to friends about music and someone mentioned how much they loved U2 but my reggae and ska-loving mind turned it into UB40 and I agreed, then we realized we were talking about two different groups.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Dec 20 2025

Another nostalgic one for me. I don't remember listening to the whole album before, but I like the variety and will listen to this one again.

Da Capo by Love
Dec 21 2025

Very 60s, not something I'd listen to again. I had to look up the singer on Que Vida because I imagined Janice from Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Dec 22 2025

Aretha could sing the dictionary and it would be a 5.

The White Room by The KLF
Dec 24 2025

I like electronic music so I would listen to it again but can't say I loved it enough to give it a 5.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Dec 26 2025

Catching up from Christmas break, so added everything to my queue. Now I have to skip all these horrible songs.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Dec 27 2025

Didn't realize Bad Company was a British group. The album was okay. I'd give it a 3.5 but don't think I like it enough to bump it up to a 4.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Dec 28 2025

I made it through the whole album. I wouldn't listen again but I can't say I hated it, so I'll be generous.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Dec 29 2025

Really enjoyed this & will listen again. Wish I understood Portuguese

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Dec 30 2025

Monday morning commute mosh!

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Dec 31 2025

Interesting but I couldn't finish it.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Jan 01 2026

No strong feelings. Nice for background music.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Jan 02 2026

It's okay - I guess I had shuffle and repeat album on, so I'm not sure how long I listened.

The Doors by The Doors
Jan 03 2026

Enjoyed most songs but some didn't age well

25 by Adele
Jan 04 2026

Added some more songs to my favorites. Giving it a 5 because remembering when my son was a teenager singing Hello in a death metal voice will always make me laugh.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jan 05 2026

I was excited to see an album from the 80s on my list today, but only got through track 5 before I called it quits.

Jan 07 2026

First track I thought "oh this is gonna be bad" but the more I listened, I was getting into it. I liked the story line of the album. A bit of Ian Drury vibes but the beats were painful. Favorite track: Fit but You Know It.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jan 08 2026

I wanted to not like it but it wasn't awful. Nice for when you want something chill.

Jan 09 2026

Not something I'd choose to listen to on my own. Some songs remain highly relevant for 2026. The harmonica sometimes felt like nails on a chalkboard. I'd give it a 3.5, but don't feel like I could bump it up to a 4.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Jan 10 2026

Listened on my drive to work and I really enjoyed it thought I'd check out more of their stuff. I didn't think I had heard of this group before, but saw a liked song from the previous album I rated. When back & looked at that rating LOL So I guess this may end up being a controversial artist for me, because I'm giving this one a 5

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jan 11 2026

I had higher hopes for this album. I ended up skipping a few songs, and after a while just gave up completely. I was driving across town for a meeting so I didn't pay attention to which songs I skipped or where I gave up.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Jan 12 2026

I enjoyed the album although I couldn't say specifically why. I'll check out more of their stuff

I See You by The xx
Jan 13 2026

No strong feelings, nice background music for my commute.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jan 14 2026

Never heard of this group but I enjoyed the album. Sometimes sounded like Cage the Elephant, I'll check out more of their stuff.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jan 15 2026

Was hoping it would be more punk, but couldn't say I disliked the album.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jan 16 2026

When I saw the album, I thought it was going to be completely new, but I immediately recognized I.G.Y and New Frontier. Nice, mellow & jazzy

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 17 2026

Even if reggae wasn't my favorite genre according to this project, this album would still be a 5.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Jan 18 2026

Don't remember hearing of them before but I enjoyed it.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Jan 20 2026

Guess if I have to a listen to a live album, this one wasn't horrible.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Jan 21 2026

Nice for my commute to work, nothing exceptional but wouldn't skip a song on a randomized playlist.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jan 23 2026

Maybe its just today but I can't deal with the harmonica. It's like nails on a chalkboard and I quit on the 2nd track. I may try to revisit at some point.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Jan 24 2026

It's okay - I only got 6 minutes into In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida before I gave up. Not something I'd opt to listen to on my own.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jan 25 2026

I remember listening to One Way and Heart of Glass with my cousins, since my uncle had this album, but I never remember listening to the full thing. I thought I'd rate it a 4 but I have to bump it up to a 5. I forget how powerful Debbie Harry's voice is.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jan 26 2026

Loved it, jazzy weirdness that made me thing of something that would have been in Disney's Fantasia, like when the dinosaurs were going extinct.

Jan 27 2026

It's apparently psychedelic week for me. This one was fine, just put it on as background noise while I worked on spreadsheets.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jan 29 2026

Interesting album. I'd probably listen again & check out some of his other stuff.

Traffic by Traffic
Jan 30 2026

It's okay - didn't realize Steve Winwood was in the band.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jan 31 2026

I never listened to Aerosmith before 1986 (introduced to them through Run DMCs Walk This Way) and immediately bought this album on cassette. So a lot of it is nostalgia, but I spent a lot of time cruising while listening to this.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Feb 01 2026

I quit at Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning. I love The Smiths, but cannot stomach Morrissey.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Feb 02 2026

2 hours is too long, but it would be okay as background music.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 03 2026

I was surprised I was familiar with the song Alright, I had never heard of this group before. I was busy working and didn't notice the album ended, and Spotify started playing other songs by the group. I just let it keep playing.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 04 2026

Excited for a Flaming Lips album today.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Feb 05 2026

LOL I did a double-take when I saw this album art. I had I Should Coco two days ago, and commented that after the album finished, Spotify kept playing Supergrass songs, which didn't bother me. This is the album it played next, so I've already heard it.

White Light by Gene Clark
Feb 06 2026

Not something I would choose to listen to myself, but it was nice on my drive to work.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Feb 07 2026

Enjoyed some songs more than others, but nice album for my commute.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Feb 08 2026

I thought I already had songs by this artist on my liked songs list but I couldn't find any or anything on my music to check out list. It seems really familiar and I'll listen again.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Feb 09 2026

I love jazzy instrumentals so this one is a 5 for me.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Feb 10 2026

Excited for more Puerto Rican music after last night's halftime show.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 11 2026

Only 1 song is available on this album on Spotify and I couldn't find the whole album on my backup platform. The one song I listened to (Feed me with your kiss) was okay. Would like to hear more of the album.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Feb 12 2026

My 2nd favorite Kraftwerk album (Tour de France is my favorite)

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Feb 13 2026

Not really familiar with Linkin Park music but know of the group. I'll check out more of their stuff.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Feb 15 2026

I'm only familiar with Laibach from Rather Good (Laibach Kittens)

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Feb 16 2026

Listening as background music at work. Album finished and kept playing other albums by Wild Beasts. Not bad, nice for the office.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Feb 17 2026

I had this album in high school, and I still love it.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Feb 18 2026

Didn't realize I already knew a lot of these songs. It's a nice listen.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Feb 19 2026

I got about halfway through before the repetitiveness got to me. I didn't hate it though.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Feb 21 2026

I have These Days favorited but can't remember when or why. The album reminds me of the drunk girl at the RenFaire trying to sing along with the minstrels.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Feb 22 2026

Couldn't finish it, gave up at This Beard is for Siobhan

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Feb 23 2026

Not horrible but not something I'd chose to listen to

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Feb 24 2026

Based on the intro, I'm not going to waste my time on this album. Not sorry.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Feb 25 2026

No clue about this artist, haven't read the wiki yet but I kinda dig the album, it's a good weird. I love lo-fi vibes when I'm sketching or at work. I'm going to have to check out their other stuff.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Feb 26 2026

It's okay. Nice variety of songs, although some I would skip on a 2nd listen.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Feb 27 2026

Enjoyed it enough to continue listening to other albums once this was finished.

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Feb 28 2026

Difficult album to find to listen to online, and since this is a genre I don't really like, I nearly gave up. It wasn't bad though, I prefer early rap & hip-hop to more current stuff.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Mar 01 2026

Playing catch-up, this was nice for a busy Monday. I'll add this band to my "at work" playlist.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 02 2026

Maybe today isn't the best for me to listen to this album. After awhile I had to stop and look at thinking WTF am I listening to? Oh yeah.... Oh a different day I may rate it higher.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Mar 03 2026

I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Mar 05 2026

Reminds me of something I would have heard on the little machine at Natural Wonders in the 90s.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 07 2026

So funny how a different day changes your perspective on music. I had the other Public Image Ltd. album 5 days ago and couldn't get through it, but today, with this album, I'd listen to it again. I should probably listen to the other one again, even though I can't edit my original rating.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Mar 09 2026

I went through a country phase in the late 80s, and the title song sounds vaguely familiar. The artist, however, doesn't ring a bell at all. The album's okay, nothing really stood out.

Mar 10 2026

Oh, how I hated Muse in late 2000s I despised them with the heat of a million suns. If I had to hear my sons play Knights of Cydonia one more time on Guitar Hero I was going to throw the Xbox out the window. They started to play it before I got home from work. I thought perhaps I had mellowed out as I've gotten older but the minute I heard the first rifts of Knights that burning annoyance came back. No strong opinions on the rest of the album but can't rate it higher than a 2 because I absolutely HATE Knights of Cydonia.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Mar 11 2026

Interesting, trippy, not something I would normally listen to but I enjoyed it.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Mar 12 2026

Interesting album

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 13 2026

Already have a few songs from this album on my liked songs playlist.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Mar 14 2026

There are very few albums in this genre that I have enjoyed, but this isn't one of them.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Mar 15 2026

I've never heard of this duo so I didn't know what to expect. Very surprised, I love this type of music.

Marquee Moon by Television
Mar 16 2026

This doesn't sound like something from the 70s. I felt more indie dark wave goth vibes than what I typically associate with the 70s (Disco, funk, folk, or jam bangs). I'm going to have to check out more of their stuff.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 18 2026

Another nostalgic album for me. As a teen, I didn't pay attention to the news or understand what apartheid meant. I didn't realize the controversy surrounding this album upon its release, I just liked the songs.

Protection by Massive Attack
Mar 20 2026

Never heard of this group but I'll check out more of their stuff.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Mar 21 2026

Wow, didn't realize the type of person Clapton is, and I honestly never really listen to his music much. I don't hate the music; it's fine for background music at work, but it's difficult not to consider the artist as well as the art.

Fragile by Yes
Mar 24 2026

I didn't realize Yes was around in the early 70s. I first heard them in the 80s with Owner of the Lonely Heart and Leave It. Roundabout was familiar, and I would have thought that Long Distance Runaround was from the early 80s as well. 4

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Mar 25 2026

Again, love The Smiths, despise Morrissey

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Mar 26 2026

I can't get through the 1st song. I feel like I give up too soon on some of these albums but then I remember I don't have to torture myself for the sake of this project.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Mar 27 2026

First thought: Oh cool, Bee Gees. Disco can be fun. Saw the date of release: This is before disco, but maybe it'll be okay Listening to the album: uggghhh I'd expect to hear this in a dentist's waiting room.

Quiet Life by Japan
Mar 28 2026

Early New Wave, and it sounds so much like Duran Duran that I kept double-checking that I was still listening to the correct album.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 29 2026

I love Echo and the Bunnymen so this was an easy listen.

One World by John Martyn
Mar 31 2026

Never heard of this artist, but liked the album. Very 70s groovy vibes. Big Muff reminded me of Seagulls, Stop It Now for some reason.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Apr 02 2026

I liked it well enough to listen again

Forever Changes by Love
Apr 03 2026

Its like the band kids and the theater kids in the late 60s decided to make an album. I wonder if Bummer in the Summer was inspiration for Celentrano's Prisencolinensinainciusol

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Apr 04 2026

I wanted to like this more, and maybe if I were in the right mindset for it, I'd enjoy it, but today it's a bit grating.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Apr 05 2026

I generally like Van Morrison but I couldn't finish this one.

Atomizer by Big Black
Apr 06 2026

One surprising thing I've learned in doing this project, I really like punk more than I thought I did.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Apr 07 2026

I grew up watching reruns of The Monkees, and the music is okay but not for 1 1/2 hours.

Apr 08 2026

I feel like I should try to learn Portuguese whenever I get an album like this. I like the jazzy bossa nova style.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Apr 09 2026

No strong feelings, had it playing in the background while I worked on some reports. Nothing prompted me to look up which song was on or take notice of anything.

The Clash by The Clash
Apr 10 2026

YES!!! I don't have to listen to this one, but I will!

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Apr 11 2026

Another one I don't need to listen to but I will.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Apr 13 2026

I've never heard of this artists & not familiar with any of the songs but I enjoyed the album.

Real Life by Magazine
Apr 14 2026

I thought this group sounded familiar but I didn't have any previously liked songs on my playlist. I'll check out more of their stuff.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 15 2026

I think I would have liked it better if I wasn't dealing with a headache & sinus infection today.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Apr 17 2026

Never heard of him and didn't know what to expect going into this album, but I really enjoyed it. I'll check out more of his stuff.

Cut by The Slits
Apr 19 2026

While I love reggae and punk, I wasn't sure about this at first but ended up enjoying it.

Faust IV by Faust
Apr 20 2026

I expected something more heavy metal, so I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I didn't realize I had enabled album repeat and ended up listening for 2 hours.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Apr 22 2026

Apart from the repetitiveness of some of the lyrics, it was okay.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Apr 23 2026

I've never heard of this artist, but enjoyed the album.

Ctrl by SZA
Apr 24 2026

Not my thing

Suede by Suede
Apr 25 2026

Meh

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Apr 26 2026

Nice to have different styles of songs on one album, but I prefer the funkier ones.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Apr 27 2026

Nice background music for work

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Apr 29 2026

I always think I'm familiar with this group but I never recognize any songs. I really liked this album and will listen again.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Apr 30 2026

When I saw American Rock band, I was expected Dad Rock but I enjoyed the punkish vibe from the group although I've never heard of them.

1989 by Taylor Swift
May 01 2026

I recognized more of these songs than I expected to.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
May 02 2026

While I like jazz, this one was hard to get through.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
May 03 2026

I've heard of the New York Dolls but never listened to any of their music. Will listen again.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
May 04 2026

No strong feelings, nice as background music at work

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
May 05 2026

Nice for background music for work.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
May 06 2026

A fun album, although I think I prefer At Folsom Prison more.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
May 07 2026

Knowing what I was getting into with German Industrial, I really liked the album.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
May 08 2026

Not available on Spotify but I found it on Youtube Music. I want to listen to this one again.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
May 09 2026

I love Kraftwerk, so this was an easy listen. Not my favorite of their albums but enjoyable.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
May 10 2026

It's been forever since I've listened to Franz Ferdinand! I forgot how fun this album is.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
May 11 2026

I tried and couldn't do it.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
May 12 2026

I'm trying to get through the album but it's a challenge. I don't mind country music but the only thing that's keeping me listening is Emmylou Harris.

Tapestry by Carole King
May 13 2026

I didn't think I was familiar with any of these songs, but I was surprised to know half of them. 4

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
May 14 2026

Never heard of this group but I enjoyed the album. Very 80s sounding.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
May 15 2026

While I appreciate the history and influence, this isn't an album I enjoyed or would listen to again.

Closer by Joy Division
May 16 2026

I listen to Joy Division all the time, and this was another day when the album ended Spotify kept playing and I didn't notice.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
May 17 2026

At first I wasn't sure I was going to like the album, but I enjoyed it.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
May 20 2026

I was excited for a 60's album but I only got halfway through it. I didn't hate though and will try again later.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
May 22 2026

Love this for background music at work. Upbeat but chill.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 23 2026

Another album I didn't recognize the song names, but did when I heard them.

May 25 2026

Not a huge fan of country but I don't hate it. Wouldn't choose this to listen again, though.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
May 26 2026

I tried. I couldn't get through it.

Mask by Bauhaus
May 27 2026

I'll listen again

Microshift by Hookworms
May 28 2026

No strong feelings, nice for background music

The Coral by The Coral
May 29 2026

Wasn't sure what to expect with this one but won't be listening again.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
May 30 2026

I've never listened to them before, but I recognized the name as a punk band, so I was excited to listen. It didn't disappoint!

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
May 31 2026

I love this type of music. Great for focusing or relaxing.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jun 01 2026

Not horrible but won't listen to this again.

Drunk by Thundercat
Jun 03 2026

I hoped I would like this more reading the wiki but it's rather uninteresting and seems to go on forever.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 04 2026

This may have been my introduction to The Police. I was 14 yr old and Every Breath You Take was always playing on MTV. It brings to me waves of nostalgia but holds up after 😖 40+ years.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 05 2026

Summer Breeze is the only song I'm familiar with but I'll listen to this album again.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jun 07 2026

I think I'm finally to the point where I don't confuse Motorhead and Radiohead. Every time I had a Radiohead album in this project, I was expecting heavy metal. I first heard Ace of Spaces on an episode of The Young Ones and have enjoyed their music since.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Jun 08 2026

The older I get, the more I enjoy weird music. I'm going to check out more of his stuff.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jun 10 2026

Not my favorite Beastie Boys album but I still liked it.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 11 2026

It's enjoyable, unobtrusive background music for work. Kind of reminds me of a chill Kraftwerk.

Jun 12 2026

Nothing stood out. In fact, it's so unobtrusive I never really noticed when one song ended & the next began. I probably won't remember I ever listened to it.

Different Class by Pulp
Jun 13 2026

I didn't hate it but very tempting to skip a lot of the songs. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for it today.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 14 2026

A third of these songs are already on my favorites list.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jun 15 2026

So after seeing the problematic album art, I read the equally problematic Wiki, and debated not listening as to not add to the streaming total. But I figured I'd at least listen to the first track. Nope, still just ick all over.

Roots by Sepultura
Jun 16 2026

No, do not like

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jun 17 2026

Good for background music

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jun 18 2026

I managed to get through the album and didn't hate it, it but won't listen again.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jun 19 2026

I enjoyed the music and will look up any albums from these artists that aren't recorded live (I hate live albums; I don't want to hear the clapping. It makes my skin crawl.)

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Jun 20 2026

Its okay - My introduction to Alice Cooper was on The Muppet Show when I was 9 yrs old. I can't separate the two now.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Jun 21 2026

Never heard of this group or knew what to expect but I enjoyed it. I'll check out their other stuff.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jun 22 2026

Not something I'd chose to listen to but solid respect for Little Richard and the influence he's had on music.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jun 23 2026

I couldn't finish Sea Song; there's a high-pitched frequency that was physically uncomfortable. The other songs are very interesting, but so discordant that I wouldn't revisit it.

Faith by George Michael
Jun 24 2026

Its okay. I don't remember being impressed by this album in the 80s and nothing has changed.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Jun 25 2026

Not a big fan of country but it's okay in small doses.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jun 26 2026

It's okay I'd listen again - already familiar with The Weight (I didn't realize the name of the song though), Long Black Veil (because of The Chieftains) and This Wheels on Fire (because of Ab Fab).

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Jun 27 2026

Playing catch-up from a rather exhausting weekend, this was a nice album to start my week with. Weird but not intolerable.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jun 28 2026

Nice for background music

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jun 29 2026

Another album nice for background music at work.

Jul 02 2026

I thought this album would be more nostalgic for me, but I'm only familar with 2 songs (Sweet Dreams and Love Is a Stranger). The rest of the album is a bit of a let-down. Not horrible, but not memorable either.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jul 03 2026

It's okay if I were in the right mood but no thrill for me today.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jul 04 2026

Very 80s, it's okay

Fun House by The Stooges
Jul 06 2026

I thought I might like this one more than I did.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jul 07 2026

I've been waiting 975 days for this album! Don't need to listen to it because I've heard it a million times, but I will listen to it on repeat for the rest of the day.🖤

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Jul 09 2026

At first, I didn't like it & thought it was going to be a slog to get through, but towards the middle, I found it growing on me. Not sure I'd listen again. It was interesting, and I enjoyed the variety of song styles.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jul 10 2026

Another album I'm very familiar with, and enjoy listening to

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jul 11 2026

The music was okay but 2 1/2 hours is way too long for one album.

Sulk by The Associates
Jul 12 2026

I love new wave and the 80s are a favorite decade, so it pains me to rate this album so low.

I'm going to have to check out Ornette Coleman now. Sometimes I got a bit of SEATBELTS vibes just messier but overall, this is the weird stuff I love.

Jul 15 2026

Another nostalgic one! I love the early 80s new wave synth vibe.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jul 16 2026

I wasn't sure about it at first since I'm not a fan of this genre, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. Not something I'd choose to listen to but I wouldn't skip it on a randomized playlist.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 17 2026

Music is okay but the album cover is like walking into a panel interview when they've already decided you're not getting the job and starts with "Okay lets get this over with..."

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Jul 18 2026

At first I wasn't thrilled to have a hip hop album (not a style I like) but this wasn't horrible.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jul 19 2026

Not for me

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Jul 21 2026

It's okay, like the music but the lyrics are meh.

The White Album by Beatles
Jul 22 2026

I've already had so many of these songs on my favorites, and I love the variety of songs on the album.

Night Life by Ray Price
Jul 23 2026

I recognized the name but none of the songs were familiar. This was music my grandma would listen to, on the rare occasion she had music playing. I'm not a fan but I'd rather listen to classic honkey tonk than some of the current pop country.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jul 24 2026

I'm in a blah mood today so this album fits, I enjoyed it more than I might have otherwise.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Jul 25 2026

It's okay but I have a headache this morning and the album isn't helping.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Jul 26 2026

It's funny that as a pre-teen I didn't really care for this music but now approaching 60, I find it nostalgic.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jul 27 2026

At first, I was about to give up on One Two Cha Cha Cha, but then reminded myself I love Mushroom Hunting by Seatbelts. I can do weird so I kept going. The album did grow on me, the mashup of jazz, Indian, and the 70s soundtrack vibe works somehow. I may even check out the movie.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jul 28 2026

Another nostalgic one. What's Love Got to Do with It was my introduction to Tina Turner, and my main memory is that my mom didn't like her for some reason. The album is okay, a lot of songs I'm already familiar with.

Lost Souls by Doves
Jul 29 2026

Forgettable background music

Tommy by The Who
Jul 30 2026

It's okay - not something I'd relisten to but the rock opera concept is interesting.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jul 31 2026

I could imagine Stewart and Roald dancing in front of the dollar store to this. It's a good album for catching up at work after a few days off.

In Utero by Nirvana
Aug 01 2026

Couldn't finish this one, had higher hopes for it. Heart-Shaped Box seemed familiar so I may have heard that one before.

Aug 02 2026

Only a few songs from the album available on Spotify but it's okay.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Aug 03 2026

Very 80s! I remember the music video for Penthouse & Pavement

Aug 04 2026

This is the stuff I like to listen to when I'm at work, in the middle of spreadsheets and file audits. Keeps me motivated but not distracting.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Aug 05 2026

Interesting, I liked it more than I expected to.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Aug 06 2026

Since Reggae is my favorite genre (according to this project) I knew I was going to like this one as well.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Aug 07 2026

So I guess Afrobreat is a genre I like now

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Aug 08 2026

Okay for background music, the first song made me think of Hobbiton for some reason.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Aug 09 2026

Wasn't excited to see a Neil Young album but it wasn't horrible. I was familiar with Cinnamon Girl although I didn't know the name of the song.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Aug 10 2026

Its okay

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Aug 11 2026

I get Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell confused, and had to look up who sang Yellow Taxi because this wasn't the voice I was expecting. I enjoyed the it though, but after listening to a few songs from later albums, I prefer them but no disputing her influence on 60s folk & social/political causes.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Aug 13 2026

Why did I never hear of this group in the 80s?! I would have loved it then too.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Aug 14 2026

I had this cassette and Bon Jovi posters in my room as a teen. I enjoyed listening to this again.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Aug 15 2026

I can't believe I still remember the words to Our Lips Are Sealed and We Got The Beat. I wasn't familiar with any other songs but I'll listen to to this one again.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish
Aug 16 2026

I liked the psychedelic bluesiness of the album but wasn't sure I'd rate it more than 2, but then looked up and saw that I had finished the album and Spotify had continued with another Country Joe & the Fish album so guess I didn't dislike it so much LOL.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Aug 17 2026

I wasn't sure about this one at first but I enjoyed it.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Aug 19 2026

Second Roxy Music album in 2 days, I still like it.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Aug 20 2026

Never heard of this artist, but the album was nice for work. Coffee shop vibes.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 21 2026

So disappointed that I have another Nick Cave album to listen to. Thank the universe this is the last one I have to endure for this project. I don't get the appeal.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Aug 22 2026

I thought I would like this one more.

Aug 23 2026

I tried, but quit on track 4. I have a personal hatred of his group thanks to my ex-husband. Probably unfair in my rating, I'll give it a 2 instead of the 1 I really want to give it, but I can't stand Peter Cetera's voice and I am not finishing this album.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Aug 24 2026

Nice chill vibe on this album. Maybe disappointing for someone looking for the dance club energetic stuff but I'll listen to this one again.

Aug 25 2026

Maybe it's my melancholic mindset today, but I enjoyed this album. Favorite songs were The Bones of You and The Fix.

Aug 26 2026

Ugh. I thought maybe jazz club vibe would help make this more tolerable but I can't. His voice irritates me to no end, and apparently, with 65 albums left, I still have another Tom Waits one to try to get through. I'll give a point to the jazz musicians though.
