Popular Reviews

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age

I underestimated how good their first album was. I was ready to give it a 4 but song after song is just great.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy

I always think of highschool with this band. There was a kid who’s favorite band was Thin Lizzy and he got picked on for it. Maybe because it was the 2000’s not the 70’s. Anyways, decent live album with good sound quality.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead

I don’t want to sound like a bleeding heart lib but some songs like “Jailbait” really don’t age well. That being said there are obviously some classic songs and overall it’s a good sounding album.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Sep 07 2025

This is honestly about the time I don’t care as much but Radiohead. The vocals are all incomprehensible moaning. The music is trying so hard to be Unique with weird time signatures. They are obviously good musicians but they start to lack any interesting melodies.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Sep 08 2025

This album started out really strong then quickly fell off for me. If it was not for the first song I’d probably give this a 2.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Sep 09 2025

Starts out strong with their big hit then the rest of the songs are meh to okay.

Sep 12 2025

I had trouble paying attention to this album but the moments I did focus in I liked it. I just couldn’t latch onto it for what ever reason.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Sep 14 2025

A couple of good songs but overall just not my style of metal.

Sep 15 2025

Good album with some great songs. It did fall off about half way through for me.

Sep 16 2025

Really just not my style and they gave me a weird Christian vibe. I could see how people may like it though.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Sep 17 2025

Still not entirely my style of metal but I enjoyed this a bit more than some of their later albums. I can see why people liked this.

My Generation by The Who
Sep 19 2025

I don’t know why but I really don’t care for the Who. Maybe I’m just seeing them from too modern of a perspective but they sound like the most vanilla version of British rock to me.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Sep 20 2025

I can’t say I really liked it disliked this album. I listened to it yesterday and nothing really stuck with me.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Sep 21 2025

Started out liking it but then kind of lost interest part way. Some good songs in it though.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Sep 22 2025

I really could not get into this. It’s an instrumental album and it feels like each song is only 4 bars long repeating for 3-5 minutes.

Cross by Justice
Sep 23 2025

A fantastic album, maybe made better because the album before this was an instrumental album that was boring. While this isn’t entirely instrumental it’s not your typical rock or pop album either.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Sep 24 2025

Another instrumental album that I just couldn’t connect with

Sep 25 2025

I believe this is before David Gilmore joins and it really sounds like a different band. I do not like this era of 60’s British bands. Everyone is trying to be whimsical and sing about Alice in Wonderland and other trippy bullshit.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Sep 27 2025

This is a case of good musicians but music that just didn’t interest me.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Sep 28 2025

Good album but I was not able to give it a fair listen yesterday. Obvious Miles Davis is extremely talented.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Sep 29 2025

Really just not into this one.

The Coral by The Coral
Oct 02 2025

I was surprised by this album honestly.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 03 2025

It’s Born in the USA, of course it’s 5 stars.

Fun House by The Stooges
Oct 04 2025

Really good punk…post punk…idk really good album.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Oct 05 2025

I’ve heard of Elliot Smith but Jenner actually heard his music. I was not overly impressed.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Oct 06 2025

It was fine, just not for me.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Oct 07 2025

Decent sounding album but I was not able to enjoy it much.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Oct 08 2025

I don’t normally care for this band but I found this album to be pretty refreshing.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 09 2025

If I could give 4 1/2 I would. It’s a great album but sometimes a little too mellow and folksy for me.

Third by Soft Machine
Oct 10 2025

Really didn’t care for this. 5 songs all 20 minutes a piece.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Oct 11 2025

A pretty cool punk album with some interesting covers.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Oct 12 2025

Great live album. It’s B.B. King I don’t know what else to say. Surprisingly short if this was the length of his actual concerts.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Oct 13 2025

I was not expecting to like this album as much as I did. It was genuinely good.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Oct 14 2025

I was thinking I wouldn’t like it as a lot of 60’s blues rock can be boring. This was pretty decent.

Oct 15 2025

For some reason I didn’t like this growing up but looking at it now I can see why he was so big.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Oct 17 2025

A good old school country album. I like this style but was not overly drawn to any songs on here. Still not a bad listen at all.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Oct 18 2025

I know this is a classic for many and I really like parts of it. I can’t help but lose interest in so many songs on here.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Oct 19 2025

This album starts off really well with 3-4 amazing songs. Then it just falls off hard for me and becomes unremarkable. I’d give it 3.5 if possible.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Oct 20 2025

Not a bad album it’s just nothing really stood out for me.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Oct 21 2025

I underestimated how good their first album was. I was ready to give it a 4 but song after song is just great.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Oct 22 2025

This is a fantastic album, it has a vibe that you don’t hear much. Especially from the albums typically suggested on this list.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Oct 23 2025

A surprisingly great album. It’s a mix of atmospheric and rhythm that I really enjoyed.

Closer by Joy Division
Oct 24 2025

I enjoy Joy Division in general but most of this album was just okay for me.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Oct 25 2025

I think almost every Neil Young album from this has been 5 stars. This isn’t a bad album at all but it tends to be slightly too mellow for me.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Oct 26 2025

A decent album but it didn’t really connect with me.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Oct 27 2025

This is a really great album. This band sounds so ahead of their time.

Oct 28 2025

I’m not always a fan of Bob Dylan or this era of Folk music. This was an okay album.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Oct 29 2025

Decent album, I think I didn’t give this one a fair listen and may need to go back.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 30 2025

Bob Marley is really hit and miss for me and this missed.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Oct 31 2025

Honestly I usually kind of like what I hear if public image. This was a decent album.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Nov 01 2025

Solid alternative album. Some people try and be cool and hate Sonic Youth but I’ve yet to hear anything worth the hate.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Nov 02 2025

This album had a very generic sound that seems to be found in this genre. Just not for me.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Nov 03 2025

This was a very generic 90’s alt album. It reminds me of the band Jellyfish but not as good.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Nov 04 2025

This album is a masterpiece to me. It’s the best concept album ever made and my favorite Pink Floyd album. I’d give it 6 if I could.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Nov 07 2025

I really don’t care for this era a lot. It’s very “jam band” esq. Jannis Joplin kind of sounds like ass to be.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Nov 08 2025

This album starts off really well then it’s kind of just a bunch of middle of the road songs. I can see why people like it but after the first 3-4 songs it’s all forgettable to me.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Nov 09 2025

I was hoping to like this more. It’s not bad by any means but most of it didn’t grab my attention.

Nov 10 2025

Album was alright, I really only liked and remembered the title song. Everything else was just kind of there for me.

Imagine by John Lennon
Nov 11 2025

People always argue over John vs Paul and I find myself going back and forth. I used to prefer John much more, and lately found myself going towards Paul. However after listening to this again I can’t deny that it’s an amazing album.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Nov 12 2025

This album was fine, most of it didn’t make much of an impact on me. Still not a bad album to listen to.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Nov 13 2025

I did 👏 not 👏 like 👏 this 👏 If I could give it 1.5 I would but I don’t think this really deserves a 1.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Nov 14 2025

A strange album that seemed to change its mind at times on exactly what it was. I didn’t dislike it but nothing grabbed me enough to give it a higher score.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Nov 15 2025

This was a good album even if it’s not always what I’m searching for. I can see why some people really enjoy it.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Nov 16 2025

It’s not the Beatles best but it’s still the Beatles. It’s very of its time and I kind of wonder if they thought they had too many songs about “love” when making it. It might not be so different from pop songs now but every song seems to talk about love.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Nov 17 2025

A good late 80’s early 90’s country esq album.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Nov 18 2025

A good country album with a nice Beatles cover.

Soul Mining by The The
Nov 19 2025

One really great song and the rest are fine.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 20 2025

I like the pet shop boys well enough this one was kind of hard for me at times and nothing really grabbed me.

This is a good live album. I’m sure Dylan fans like it as it seems to have a lot of the hits in his prime. Sometimes he almost sounds like someone trying to sound like Bob Dylan.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Nov 22 2025

This album brought me back to my highschool days and now my hip hurts. I’m knocking a star off for that.

Synchronicity by The Police
Nov 23 2025

“Every breath you take” is great but the rest just don’t hit for me.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Nov 24 2025

Started off feeling bland but by the end there were a few songs I liked.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Nov 25 2025

A good punk album. Maybe it’s post punk? I can’t remember these dumb genres. It’s sounds pretty punk rock and has good songs.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Nov 26 2025

I really couldn’t get into this album. It felt like too much was going on most of the time.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Nov 27 2025

A pretty run of the mill country album to me. It was not bad just not always my genre.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Nov 28 2025

The production is great and you can tell they are talented, but some of these songs are too long for me. There is never any kind of hook to be found either.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 30 2025

I usually like Nick cave and I know music is subjective, but this is subjectively just bad. It just drones on and there isn’t anything memorable to me.

Odelay by Beck
Dec 01 2025

A good album that’s an odd mix of Rock/pop/hip-hop.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Dec 03 2025

This was my first time hearing this band and it was a fun album. It has a cool pink floyd cover as well.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Dec 04 2025

Just not very enjoyable for me. I lose interest quickly with this style of music.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Dec 05 2025

Just not my favorite genre. I really could not get into this album but it’s not “bad” enough to give a 1.

Kid A by Radiohead
Dec 06 2025

A really good album but at times it loses my interest. For me this is not as good as the albums before.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Dec 07 2025

One good song to me, the rest was forgettable and just not my style.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Dec 08 2025

Fantastic album that is a bit better in the first half than the second. It’s a solid 4.5 for me.

Drunk by Thundercat
Dec 09 2025

I know Thundercat is an exceptional bass player and musician but I didn’t care for this. Every song felt like he was half serious and half joking around.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 10 2025

While I loathe the “ding dong” bit in around the world, I can’t deny that there are many great song’s on this album.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 11 2025

Absolutely fantastic album that I really considered giving 5 on. It gets a little out there at times but me but then Bowie brings everything around and it’s fantastic. 4.9999…no, let’s just give a 5. Damn it.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Dec 12 2025

Usually I really enjoy David Bowie but this one didn’t connect with me.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Dec 13 2025

It’s one of the best Arcade Fire albums and it still really holds up. This may be where they really proved they weren’t just a stomp clap band.

Infected by The The
Dec 14 2025

I didn’t really care for this album, nothing caught my attention or grew on me.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Dec 15 2025

This was a surprise for me. Bob Dylan isn’t always my favorite and I thought anything from him in the 90’s would suck. This was a nice bluesy kind of album. His voice is shot but it works in the context

Sheet Music by 10cc
Dec 16 2025

This was a very bland 70’s rock album for me. Little to nothing interesting in each song.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Dec 17 2025

I’m thoroughly impressed that a band can make a 14 song album that’s hardly 15 minutes long.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Dec 18 2025

I had never heard of this group and was pleasantly surprised by it. It’s a heavier album than I expected.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Dec 19 2025

Sounds a lot like Hole. Didn’t wow me that much.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Dec 20 2025

I had never heard of this artist before and was pleasantly surprised. Great album.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Dec 21 2025

I want to like Dinosaur Jr but so little stands out to me. They are fine in a playlist format but listening to just this band can feel repetitive at times.

Dec 22 2025

Having never heard them before I found them overall enjoyable.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Dec 23 2025

I’m from the area nearby Santa Cruz so I feel I’m giving them extra for including the city in a song title. Otherwise a decent album.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Dec 25 2025

Decent bluesy album.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Dec 26 2025

This album feels very of the time but not in a bad way for me. It has an overall smooth and relaxing vibe.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Dec 27 2025

Cool punk album. Nothing amazing, nothing awful to me.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Dec 28 2025

Always a good chill vibe from The Jesus and Mary Chain but sometimes they are lacking energy. I’ve noticed sometimes I prefer their songs covered by other artists.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Dec 29 2025

I unfortunately just don’t get the appeal of this type of music outside of a club or party.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Dec 30 2025

This isn’t exactly the type of music I seek out but I can’t deny it’s a nice relaxing listen.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Dec 31 2025

I overall enjoyed this album but it’s not really one I’ll go back to a lot. It obviously has some hits and is well regarded.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Jan 01 2026

This album didn’t resonate with me personally.

Quiet Life by Japan
Jan 02 2026

Cool album with an 80’s vibe even though it came out in 79. Seemed to foretell where pop music was going from there.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Jan 03 2026

If you like Arctic monkeys you may like this. It for the most part just played like background music to me. Nothing of real interest stood out.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jan 04 2026

Generic 60’s experimental bullshit mixed with just generic 60’s okay shit.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Jan 05 2026

Gave me a bit of a Neil Diamond vibe. I enjoyed the album over all even if it’s not my usual go to for style.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jan 07 2026

This album didn’t really connect with me. I don’t think it’s terrible by any means.

Jan 08 2026

Didn’t resonate with me unfortunately. I can tell the it’s talent here though.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jan 09 2026

While not a genre I’d necessarily go to this was really nice. Great musicianship and although the songs were rather long each song brought in a cool new element.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 10 2026

I always think of highschool with this band. There was a kid who’s favorite band was Thin Lizzy and he got picked on for it. Maybe because it was the 2000’s not the 70’s. Anyways, decent live album with good sound quality.

More Specials by The Specials
Jan 12 2026

I enjoyed the song that is basically naming James Bond movies/novels.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jan 13 2026

I’m not sure if this was a concept album or not. Didn’t care for the random battle trumpet in one song.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jan 15 2026

A good live Jazz album. Maybe a tad long but what’s stopping you from pausing and coming back?

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jan 16 2026

There were some songs that sounded like a decent experimental take. Too many songs that sounded like experimental bullshit that goes nowhere.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jan 17 2026

I get that you can’t have an album called “69 love songs” without a minimum of 69 songs but couldn’t they have made it 10-12 love songs instead? It’s not bad it’s just bloated and long.

Jan 18 2026

A great old country album. As any old white dude will tell you “They don’t make ‘em like this anymore!”.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jan 20 2026

A cool album that sounds similar to something like Faith no more.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jan 21 2026

Decent album but didn’t leave much of an impression on me.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Jan 22 2026

A really solid album by Peter Gabriel.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jan 23 2026

Not a huge fan of Janis. Her voice can at times be grating and her song writing has never resonated with me.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Jan 24 2026

Really not my style, I’m sure many enjoy this though.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jan 26 2026

A strange album at times but overall really enjoyable

No Other by Gene Clark
Jan 29 2026

I was not familiar with Gene Clark but this was a good album. I have grown tired of this genre but this was nice. A solid 3.5

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jan 30 2026

This was actually a really pleasant album. I didn’t know what to expect going in but enjoyed it overall.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jan 31 2026

An okay album but nothing stood out for me personally. I’m not offended by it but I’m rather bored.

Feb 01 2026

Good rap album, I’d give it 3.5 but I feel with more listens I’d enjoy it even more.

Feb 02 2026

I was worried that “Take on me” would be the only good song since it’s the “hit” but everything was enjoyable. They have more of a David Bowie sound than I realized.

Feb 03 2026

I was not fully aware of how great ABC is and only knew one or two songs vaguely. This was a real treat.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Feb 04 2026

This was an album. I definitely remember music playing when I clicked play. That’s about it.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Feb 05 2026

Did people forget about the 60’s because of all the drugs it just because so much of the music was forgettable? That was mean, this album is fine but maybe just not for me. I apologize for my sass.

Feb 06 2026

If I’m in a really bad mood I don’t get how people consider this music. If I’m in a good mood I realize not everything is meant for me and turn it off.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Feb 07 2026

I enjoyed the last album I heard from this guy and thought this may be similar. I was wrong and did not enjoy this overall. It is too atmospheric for me.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 08 2026

You aren’t true indy snob if you don’t insist this is Arcade fires best album. Bonus points if you claim it’s their only good one. I don’t subscribe to either but it’s still a 5.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Feb 15 2026

Generic 60’s rock album

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Feb 16 2026

I was ready to give this a higher score just based on the hits I know. However the rest of the songs just feel like filler and kind of lazy. They found a formula and were too afraid to stray.

Feb 17 2026

It’s abrasive and vulgar but everything is catchy and high quality.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Feb 19 2026

I wonder if anyone has seen this album cover and read the title and thought “this must be a really heavy album!” Then you put it on and it sounds like like Rock Horror picture show then Black Sabbath. Which is fine.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Feb 20 2026

A seemingly standard 80’s country album. I don’t know if this made waves at the time of release and it only now sounds like everything else.

Traffic by Traffic
Feb 21 2026

It’s from the 60’s and definitely sounds like it.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Feb 22 2026

Great 80’s sound with really nice instrumentations.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Feb 23 2026

I was extremely surprised by this, I don’t know why I haven’t seen more of this album. It’s an easy 4.5

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Feb 24 2026

I don’t want to sound like a bleeding heart lib but some songs like “Jailbait” really don’t age well. That being said there are obviously some classic songs and overall it’s a good sounding album.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Feb 25 2026

I could hardly tell you what was being said but it was a good time listening.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Feb 26 2026

Some good hits but the rest just kind of faded into the background at times. I’d give it a 3.5 overall.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Feb 27 2026

I know I’m not the target audience but this style can be very repetitive.

Medúlla by Björk
Feb 28 2026

I usually like Bjork but this album was kind of a mess.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Mar 01 2026

It’s Biggy, it’s 5 stars. Stop reading this and listen to the album.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Mar 02 2026

I’m not sure if this was for a soundtrack or what.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 04 2026

A very safe 90’s alternative album. Nothing really stood out.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Mar 06 2026

This album certainly exists and it was one of the ones I’ve now listened to. I didn’t hate it, didn’t love it.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Mar 07 2026

Started out pretty optimistic for this album and by the end it lost me.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 08 2026

This might be one of the first Neil Young albums from this list that isn’t a 4-5 for me. It definitely wasn’t bad but nothing grabbed me like the others.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Mar 10 2026

Maybe a little too mellow at times for me but a good album overall.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Mar 11 2026

I’m a fan of almost anything Damon Albarn does and had never heard of this. It almost has a Beatles vibe at times.

Tapestry by Carole King
Mar 12 2026

It’s got the Gilmore girls theme. What more do you want?

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Mar 14 2026

A great album from the 60’s with a good amount of classics.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Mar 15 2026

Decent album but nothing really clicked with me.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Mar 16 2026

I’m sure this is a very important album and probably more groundbreaking at its release. It comes off a hair bland to me today.

Arise by Sepultura
Mar 18 2026

Really impressive album. Loved the guitar work and heavy melodies throughout the whole album.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 19 2026

While not my favorite Beatles album it’s still the Beatles.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Mar 21 2026

A decent old album. Enjoyable to have on in the background but nothing too stimulating.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Mar 23 2026

Absolutely fantastic album. I love the hits, and everything in between is still really enjoyable.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Mar 24 2026

An interesting album that feels like a fever dream of the late 00’s.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Mar 25 2026

It takes some courage to call an album “The Genius of” your name. It is a solid album though.

Mar 26 2026

I really do enjoy later Chicago but this was not enjoyable overall for me. Too much 60’s BS with organ solos and guitar tracks that really serve no purpose.

American Pie by Don McLean
Mar 27 2026

One classic song and the rest sort of were just there for me.

Mar 28 2026

I can tell that they are all amazing musicians but it’s a little too prog at times for me.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Mar 29 2026

It was like I was listening to a soundtrack to some lo-fi racing game from the early 00’s.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Mar 30 2026

A really solid 60’s album. Often albums from the 60’s are so up their own ass they don’t have any good melody but this doesn’t suffer the same. I’d give this a 3.5.

I See You by The xx
Mar 31 2026

I think this album is just not meant for me and that’s fine. I don’t really have anything negative to say.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Apr 01 2026

A decent 60’s album with a few songs I liked. Overall nothing special to me.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Apr 04 2026

Not for me but I’m sure people who are more accustomed to Indian music will enjoy this.

Apr 05 2026

I was ready to give this 2 stars but it slowly redeemed itself as it went on. Overall it’s not bad.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 08 2026

A great Nick Cave album. It has grit and melody all in one.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 11 2026

Classic 80’s rap with some rock. That was apparently unheard of for the time.

Real Life by Magazine
Apr 13 2026

Pleasantly surprised. They have a real 70’s alternative vibe to them.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Apr 14 2026

Overall didn’t enjoy this album. It felt like a chore to get through.

Apr 15 2026

A great metal album overall. A couple of songs that for me keep it from being a 5. I’d give it a 4.5.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Apr 16 2026

A really fantastic album, but there are a few low spots that keep me from personally giving it 5. It’s a 4.5 still to me.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Apr 18 2026

Maybe I’m only thinking this way because of modern concert pricing but if I saw a band and they only played 45 minutes I’d be upset.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 19 2026

A nice sleepy album that I can see being nice if you are in the mood.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Apr 20 2026

Amazing production and playing through this. I can see why many give this 5 stars but for me it just wasn’t there. I’d give it 4.5 and maybe with more listens a 5.

Apr 21 2026

A great sounding album by Ray Charles. I probably wouldn’t go back and listen again and again to the album but I can see adding many songs to playlists to have on in the background.

Tical by Method Man
Apr 22 2026

Obviously a very Wu tang style of album.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Apr 23 2026

I like the sound of the replacements. This album didn’t catch my attention very often though.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Apr 24 2026

A great album from the Stooges. It’s a classic for a reason. Iggy Pop is great in this.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Apr 25 2026

A mix of generic late 90’s/early 00’s rock and generic British alt rock. You do get moments of fun. I also imagine “Get Free” was overplayed in sports highlight packages of the time.

1984 by Van Halen
Apr 26 2026

Going in I was thinking this would be a 4. Then I realized that over half are really amazing songs. Even if the other 4 out of 5 are mediocre it’s such a great piece. I’m sure the guitar nerds weren’t happy with all the synth but it works.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Apr 27 2026

I had never heard of this band before but enjoyed the album.

Slayed? by Slade
Apr 28 2026

Pretty generic rock.

Apr 29 2026

A great sounding record. The genre isn’t always my favorite but I can see how others would enjoy this greatly.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 30 2026

I like Bruce but this didn’t do it for me. It felt overly safe and generic. I bet Rolling stone loved this but it felt empty to me.

May 01 2026

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I don’t think I’ve heard of Dion before this.

Vespertine by Björk
May 03 2026

I always want to like Bjork but sometimes it’s not there for me

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
May 04 2026

It was cool, then fine, then eh.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
May 06 2026

A fun album that I couldn’t understand

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
May 07 2026

A great live performance. A little too short for me to give it 5 stars.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
May 08 2026

Great album that maybe with more listens could be 5 but for more it’s closer to 4.

Django Django by Django Django
May 09 2026

A cool modern take on surf rock.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
May 10 2026

Not my bag…baby?

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
May 11 2026

A really good classic album. I really considered giving this 5 stars but the end of the album brings it down a bit for me.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
May 12 2026

A cool 80’s gem I had not heard better. It did get a little repetitive

Ray Of Light by Madonna
May 13 2026

This didn’t really do anything for me. Even the big hit felt lack luster to me.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
May 14 2026

Definitely some Bob Dylan and Springsteen influence. Sometimes this album is a little too mellow for me.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
May 17 2026

An interesting album but it didn’t grab my attention very much

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
May 18 2026

I like Kate Bush but this felt average to me. Maybe I’m just not in the headspace for it.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
May 21 2026

The album is fine overall, I really just am not a fan of the 60’s organ sound that is in everything. It sounds so goofy to me and I don’t get why it’s everywhere.

Spiderland by Slint
May 22 2026

Cool 90’s album but started to blend together in the end to new.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
May 23 2026

Not my favored genre

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
May 26 2026

Not my jam

The Visitors by ABBA
May 27 2026

A song or two that stood out for me in an otherwise enjoyable album. Production and musicianship are great.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
May 28 2026

Maybe it’s just the millennial in me but Randy Newman’s voice is very soothing. I could listen to him reading the phone book.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
May 29 2026

A cool mix of funk, rock, and maybe hip hop? I enjoyed what this was.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
May 31 2026

A cool album that has a very 90’s sound.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jun 01 2026

A good album but a little too mellow at times

Faith by George Michael
Jun 02 2026

Really solid album with some strong hits.

Kenya by Machito
Jun 03 2026

Good vibes

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jun 04 2026

This was tough for me to decide if it was a 5 or not. It’s a great sounding album with great songs. I wanted to say this is a 4.7 or some bs but I’ll just round up and say it’s a 5. Semantics.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jun 06 2026

Decent album but didn’t leave much of an impression on me

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Jun 07 2026

Some really interesting stuff mixed with some okay stuff.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Jun 08 2026

I want to like this album but so much is just bland to me. I can tell they are all great musicians but the songs aren’t reaching me.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jun 10 2026

I don’t know if I had heard of Beth Orton before this. She has a great voice but it did feel a little repetitive after a bit.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Jun 12 2026

The album starts off really strong and then you get a few generic songs after. They really were going for a Springsteen meets Van Halen vibe, maybe unintentionally.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jun 13 2026

Rather calm and sleepy album.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jun 14 2026

Great classic metal/rock album

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Jun 15 2026

A very different and well produced album compared what has been on this list so far.

Low-Life by New Order
Jun 16 2026

Had some really strong spots for me then some really meh spots. Overall I liked the sound.

Jun 17 2026

I usually like Tom Waits but this was not very enjoyable for me.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jun 18 2026

A pretty calm and uneventful album.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jun 19 2026

Music was fine but not for me

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 21 2026

I like Siouxsie and the Banshees in general but didn’t fall in love with this one

Jun 22 2026

A cool mostly instrumental album where many songs sounded very familiar.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jun 23 2026

Not a very engaging album overall for me.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 24 2026

Overall it’s fine but it gets a little repetitive.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jun 25 2026

Good album that maybe deserved more of my undivided attention to appreciate.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 27 2026

I usually don’t like this genre but Bob Marley is always consistent at least.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Jun 29 2026

Better than I thought it might be but it still didn’t overly wow me.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 30 2026

It was fine but like all their albums they kind of just blend together into one song I lose track of.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Jul 01 2026

I know this is a really well regarded album and it sounds great on a technical level. I just couldn’t get overly into it.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jul 02 2026

I usually don’t like The Who but this was at least interesting in concept. I’m not sure if this is before they became the safe vanilla rock, or just a weird divergent path they tried.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Jul 03 2026

I knew a little of this band before and ended up enjoying this album a lot.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jul 04 2026

It’s a truly master…ful piece of music.

The Score by Fugees
Jul 05 2026

Really good album but a few too many misses for me to give this a 5.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jul 06 2026

Dusty has a great voice, and a few of these songs are absolute classics.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jul 07 2026

You hear one Van Morrison song and you basically have heard them all

Technique by New Order
Jul 08 2026

Started out really rough and didn’t get that much more enjoyable for me.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jul 09 2026

Pretty aggressive but not necessarily bad or good.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jul 10 2026

Some really good hits and an overall enjoyable album.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jul 11 2026

The first song really impressed me then nothing else held up the same.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 12 2026

Ahead of its time and incredibly influential to music from the 90’s on.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jul 13 2026

A really fantastic album, probably closer to A 4.5 for me but just having something on the second listen.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jul 14 2026

Overall really great, and it has one of Stevie’s best songs ever with Superstition.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jul 15 2026

Not a huge Tull fan, even Aqualung gets repetitive really fast.

Future Days by Can
Jul 16 2026

Overly long songs that didn’t hold my interest

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jul 18 2026

Another 5 star from Neil. An amazing song writer and guitarist.

Roots by Sepultura
Jul 19 2026

Started out gaining my interest then slowly fell off

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jul 20 2026

While it’s not The Pixies it’s still got a similar favor while being its own thing.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jul 21 2026

A fun and different album. A lot of talent is involved in this.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jul 22 2026

A good chill vibe to this album. Probably not something I will revisit if I’m honest.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jul 23 2026

This did not hold my attention very well, and little stood out. Didn’t offend me I guess.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jul 24 2026

Cool, funky, disco, 🕺

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jul 25 2026

It was not bad just not my jam.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jul 26 2026

The opening track is one of the best things ever made, the rest is okay.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Jul 27 2026

Great album, I don’t know what to say. It’s the Stooges, it’s Iggy.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jul 28 2026

A very inoffensive record.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 29 2026

A few really great songs along with some odd covers.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Jul 30 2026

Well if not over produced at times. Beyonce comes off like someone desperately trying to tell you she’s strong and in charge, but never really showing it.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 31 2026

Decent pop album, probably one of their better Works.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Aug 01 2026

A really great album. Heavy and melodic with duel vocals.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Aug 02 2026

A fun old school jazzy album. Sadly I probably won’t remember much of it.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Aug 04 2026

Not terrible, definitely sounds like it’s from the late 80’s.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Aug 05 2026

I’d give this a 3.5 honestly. Some of the songs are a bit overplayed but you can’t blame the band for that.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Aug 06 2026

I definitely listened to this album and in 24 hours I completely forgot what it sounded like.

Aug 07 2026

A cool album from the 00’s. I don’t know if I ever heard much else from them, but I was entertained.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Aug 08 2026

I have never heard non disco Bee Gee’s and never really considered it was a possibility. This was a surprisingly great album for me.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Aug 10 2026

A cool mellow album.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Aug 12 2026

A lot of noise going on but not much that I enjoyed.

Purple Rain by Prince
Aug 13 2026

I really considered giving this 5 but some of the non hit songs being the rating down just enough. It’s still a really good album.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Aug 14 2026

It was fine but nothing I think I’d need to hear again

Melodrama by Lorde
Aug 15 2026

I’m an Lord yah yah yah. Idk, it was fine.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 17 2026

I get they want to explore cool time signatures and weird chord patterns, but after a while it’s just Thom groaning and random drum patterns to me.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Aug 18 2026

It was honestly decent, the guy has a good voice.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Aug 20 2026

Not for me but I can appreciate it.
