Popular Reviews

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents

I did this project to get out of my comfort zone. Maybe my comfort zone wasn’t so bad.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

I like the style of music, but the lyrics sound like a bunch of 19 year olds who find themselves funnier than they actually are.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul

Fantastic hip hop album. The Steely Dan sample song was my favorite

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke

Great sounds but got a little monotonous toward the end.

1-Star Albums (26)

All Ratings (954)

Dec 30 2023

Solid album but not really my favorite style. Some fun hits to rehear again for the first time in a while, but probably won’t be going back to it again.

Dec 31 2023

A fun listen and a lot jazzier than I remember. Probably the first time I listened through the full double album. It’s long and I could have done with less skits, but will definitely come back to a few songs I heard for the first time.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 01 2024

Different but really good. Didn’t understand a word of it, but really liked it

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 02 2024

It’s muddy waters. What’s not to love.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jan 03 2024

I didn’t like Metallica going into this and it didn’t change my mind. Just not a heavy rock/metal guy.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 04 2024

Not my favorite Beatles album, but it's still a Beatles album and is fantastic.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 05 2024

Pleasantly surprised by an album I wasn’t familiar with. No song in particular jumped out as a favorite if add to a playlist or something but together it was a cohesive enjoyable listening experience. I could see myself coming back to this album

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 06 2024

One of my gravitates from the stones

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 07 2024

Great soundtrack to a great movie

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jan 08 2024

Great sounds but got a little monotonous toward the end.

Jan 09 2024

The Talking heads are one of my favorite bands. This isn’t my favorite album from them, but still has some great tracks.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jan 10 2024

First captain beefheart record I’ve listened to. Not what I was expecting, but overall a pretty solid blues album.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jan 11 2024

Classic Muddy Waters. Love it

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jan 12 2024

I first listened to this album when it came out and everyone was raving about it. I had never listened to any of her early work, but people who’s opinion on music I trust kept telling me how great she was. I listened through the discography and just couldn’t really get into it. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t something I loved like seemingly everyone else did. This is my first time revisiting it since it came out and I actually liked it a lot more. Still probably not going to make a list of my favorite albums, but I could see myself listening to it again in the future.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jan 13 2024

This is an album I feel like I should like, and I’ve tried to like, but I just can’t get into it. Thom York’s voice is just too whiney for me to enjoy. I kinda liked In Rainbows and even their newest one a good bit more than Kid A.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jan 14 2024

The War on Drugs are one of my favorite bands and this is the album that got me into them. 10/10 desert island album for me

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jan 15 2024

This was not what I was expecting. There were some songs I didn’t hate, but also a lot that I did.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 16 2024

A classic. Dusty’s voice is one of a kind

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 18 2024

It was ok. I recognized the one song maps, but wasn’t overly into the rest of the album. Mostly know the band from their Heads Will Roll that got remixed to death.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jan 19 2024

Start studded list of collaborators. Just a fantastic blues album that I’m upset with myself for just discovering

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 20 2024

Delightfully 80s

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jan 21 2024

Good lyrics, but the sound gets a little monotonous by the end of the record.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jan 23 2024

First time listening to Janelle Monáe. I found it a fun upbeat jazzy/neo soul record I could definitely see myself listening to again.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jan 24 2024

Not a bad classic rock album, but a lot of the songs went on way too long. The organ solo especially were a little much.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jan 25 2024

I don’t love the lead singers voice and just didn’t really care for the album

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Jan 26 2024

I get it’s Zappa and it’s poking fun at the flower power 60s. I don’t mind a satire record, but at least make it listenable.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 27 2024

Classic Pearl Jam

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Jan 28 2024

Billie’s voice is just incredible. You can really hear the sadness in the songs. Such a tragic story.

The La's by The La's
Jan 31 2024

Not great, but not bad. Middle of the road album for me with that one famous song from every 90s movie.

Feb 01 2024

Love Curtis’ voice and song writing, but none of the tracks on the album rank up there with his best in my opinion

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 02 2024

Haven’t listened to the pet shop boys before. Not bad

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Feb 03 2024

Going to try and separate the art from the artist on this one. I find 2024 Kanye to be a mentally unstable insane person who does and says horrible things and someone who I couldn’t support. That being said, this album is a fantastic hip hop album and very nostalgic to my high school days.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Feb 04 2024

That was different. Not sure I feel about it, would be good music to listen to when working

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 06 2024

CCR is one of the best to ever do it and this album is one of my favorites

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Feb 07 2024

Very forgettable 80s Brit Pop. Nothing really stood out or interested me

Feb 08 2024

I like common, and this album had some good tracks on it, but none that really stood out to me. It’s also a little long for my taste.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Feb 10 2024

I don’t listen to much jazz, and I found this to be pretty good. Still not my favorite genre but it definitely has its place.

Feb 11 2024

Good underworld album I haven’t listened to before. Started off strong and faded a little toward the end. But still a solid 4 star.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Feb 12 2024

Not my favorite genre, but some ok songs.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Feb 14 2024

Eh, not really my favorite genre

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 15 2024

Bob is always some feel good music

Feb 16 2024

Never been a big U2 fan and this album didn’t change my mind.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Feb 17 2024

I could picture myself listening to this while sipping rum in Havana, but I’ll probably never do that so I’ll probably never listen to this again.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Feb 18 2024

Found it whiney and boring

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Feb 19 2024

Not great not terrible pretty weird. Overall meh

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Feb 20 2024

Not a genre I normally listen to but this is objectively a fantastic album.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 21 2024

Never been a big flaming lips fan. I find Wayne Coyne’s voice to be too whiney. So this isn’t doing much for me.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Feb 22 2024

Really enjoyed this album. PJ Harvey is an artist I’ve heard of a lot but never took the time to listen to, I’ll have to change that.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Feb 23 2024

Never really listened to the burrito bros before, but I always thought they were more psychedelic rock. This sounded more like classic country. I can’t stand modern country but this was pretty good.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 24 2024

Solid stones album. Listened to the US version because Paint it Black is a top 5 Stones song for me.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Feb 25 2024

I have a soft spot for 90s British dance music

OK by Talvin Singh
Feb 26 2024

When starting this I wondered if I would give any 1 star reviews. I can usually see something positive in a record even if it isn’t a style I usually enjoy. Then 55 records in I got this. I did not enjoy this.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Feb 27 2024

He’s obviously a great piano player but just solo piano Jazz for over an hour gets kinda boring.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Feb 29 2024

I tried to separate the art from the artist in college dropout, but there’s no need here. The art and the artist are both awful. I really hope there isn’t more Kanye on this list.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Mar 01 2024

Just a really good Iggy Pop album. Lust for life and success are great tracks.

2112 by Rush
Mar 02 2024

Not a huge rush fan, but this was pretty good considering it didn’t have any of the songs I knew.

Synchronicity by The Police
Mar 04 2024

I’ll be watching you is an all time creepy song, but it along with most of the other songs on this album are catchy as hell.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Mar 05 2024

This is pretty quintessential 80s music. Some boring tracks on the album but it’s saved by the big hits.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Mar 06 2024

I wanted to like this album but none of the songs really did anything for me. Overly meandering and operatic.

21 by Adele
Mar 07 2024

I don’t know what’s more nostalgic this album or all the remixes that came out of these songs. As someone who was 21 when this came out and it coinciding with the explosion of electronic music I. America, these songs were everywhere.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 08 2024

I feel like the situation I listened to this in hurt my opinion of it. I generally listen to these albums during my morning workout and jazz just doesn’t do it for me in that context. Was a solid jazz album but would like to listen again.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 09 2024

One of my favorite albums and in my opinion some of Dylan’s best song writing.

Mar 10 2024

Decent queen album. Some hits some ok. Not my favorite by them.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Mar 11 2024

Wow I really dislike this. From the artwork, to the song titles, to the music itself. It just does nothing for me.

Bossanova by Pixies
Mar 12 2024

Didn’t love this one, and I do like some of the pixies stuff. Just not this album apparently

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Mar 13 2024

Was expecting more blues and less screaming. Meh album

Mar 14 2024

This album was cool when I was 12 and it was really edgy. The real slim shady and Stan are still classics, but the overall misogyny and homophobia makes it an album I would return to, even for nostalgia

Illmatic by Nas
Mar 15 2024

Very middle of the road rap album for me. Didn’t hate it didn’t love it.

Disintegration by The Cure
Mar 16 2024

I don’t love the cure but I do like them.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 17 2024

One of my favorite albums of all time, I personally would go with Live Rust, but both are fantastic. Into the blue/out of the black, thrasher, and Powederfinger are all some of Neil’s greatest work.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Mar 18 2024

Big fan of the really bluesy stuff the black keys did pretty much up through this album.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 19 2024

Hallelujah is a classic, but the rest of the album didn’t do much for me.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Mar 20 2024

Didn’t care for this one, just not my style

Mar 21 2024

I really don’t like metal. The tempo, the themes, all of it. I get it’s skilled playing, but just not for me.

Mar 22 2024

I read something about how when NWA came out with Fuck the Police hip hop took over being the music of rebellion from rock. It’s certainly an interesting take that I don’t really disagree with. So I get the significance of this album and the rhymes and beats are really good. However the misogyny and homophobia so common in that area of hip hop is kind of jarring in 2024.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Mar 25 2024

Didn’t realize so many of their hits are from one album. But overall not a huge GnR guy. So 3 stars for the 2-3 good songs.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 26 2024

Funky but all the memorable.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Mar 28 2024

I remember hearing about Bad Brains in some documentary years ago that had Steve Albini in it. I do t like punk so I was expecting to hate this. It’s definitely not my favorite but I didn’t mind it.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Mar 29 2024

Only ever knew come on Eileen from them and this album did t even have that song, so I wasn’t expecting much. Walked away pleasantly surprised. I’m a sucker for a good horn section. Takes me back to my Ska days.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 30 2024

Great album by Sly.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Mar 31 2024

I mean I’m open to music in other languages but when it seems to be so heavy in the lyrics and I can’t understand them, it makes it hard.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Apr 01 2024

Some good, some ok, some boring. Overall middle of the road album.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Apr 03 2024

Definitely sounds like 1989

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Apr 04 2024

Never listened before and really enjoyed it.

Apr 05 2024

I should give it a chance listening all the way through and stoned off my ass, but I couldn’t do either of those things and listened to chunks throughout the day. Didn’t enjoy it in that context.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Apr 06 2024

Classic nostalgia from the 90s

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Apr 07 2024

Some decent songs but a lot of songs that sounded like the band wandered into the studio hammered and didn’t bother editing.

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 09 2024

Fantastic album front to back.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Apr 10 2024

Young Americans is my favorite Bowie song and this is probably my favorite album. Admittedly I haven’t listened to a lot of Bowie and didn’t really get Ziggy Stardust, but really enjoyed this.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 11 2024

Some ok songs, but overall too slow for me

Moving Pictures by Rush
Apr 13 2024

Not a big rush guy but this has all the rush songs I like on it.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Apr 15 2024

Never heard of them, even though one of their songs is saved on my Spotify from some playlist over the years, but really enjoyed it. Fun find.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Apr 16 2024

Sometimes I mood really affects these reviews. I like iron and wine and the tallest man on earth so I like this style sometimes. But yesterday it was more “what’s this medieval bard shit?” Felt like a 2 yesterday but I’m sure in a different mood I could give it a 4 so I’m splitting the difference.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Apr 17 2024

This album really helped me define the line where punk goes from good to not good for me. I enjoyed probably 50% and disliked the other 50%.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Apr 18 2024

I already forget what this album sounded like and I listened to it yesterday.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 19 2024

Fun little album.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Apr 20 2024

I don’t just give Beatles albums an auto 5 stars, but everyone I listen to I’m like “yeah that’s a 5 star album” they’re the goats for a reason.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Apr 21 2024

I still just can’t get Radiohead

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Apr 22 2024

Sounded like it should be the soundtrack to a musical. And not a great musical.

Document by R.E.M.
Apr 23 2024

I only really know the two big REM songs, but I really enjoyed this whole album.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Apr 24 2024

Had never listened to sonic youth, but I really liked this album.

Smash by The Offspring
Apr 27 2024

Reminds me of the 90s and held up better than expected.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Apr 28 2024

I like the style of music, but the lyrics sound like a bunch of 19 year olds who find themselves funnier than they actually are.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Apr 29 2024

Delightfully all over the place. Weird but fun with some real great songs in there. Enjoyed it front to back for the most part.

May 02 2024

Interesting listening to this right after Lana headlined Coachella. I remember when summertime sadness came out when I was in college. I enjoyed that first album even if it was a little slow. I probably listened to the remixes more than the original. Kinda surprised she seemly recently blew up to this level. I hear it’s because of tik tok? Either way good for her, she has some nice songs and good lyrics, even if the album is a little slow and monotonous for me.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 03 2024

Man this list really loves British post punk bands. Like most of them, nothing I hate here, but nothing that really speaks to me. Just straight down the middle of the road.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
May 04 2024

Hadn’t listened to this oasis album before, but quite liked it

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
May 06 2024

Fantastic first album from one of my favorite bands.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
May 07 2024

One of the greatest blues/rock albums. Not to mention its live.

May 08 2024

Extremely meh. Can’t really remember anything about the album <24 hours later.

May 09 2024

First song is good and the last song is ok. Not sure what was going on in the middle there. Never got the hype around this album.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
May 11 2024

I can see why Get it on was the only hit off this album, but it was enough to get 3 stars

The Who Sell Out by The Who
May 12 2024

I get the concept they’re going for but the music just isn’t get enough to make the bit fun.

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 13 2024
Aqualung by Jethro Tull
May 14 2024

The rock flute is kinda fun

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
May 15 2024

Never really cared for rock operas, but it’s not awful

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
May 17 2024

Just fantastic. So many just fun catchy songs. Love me some Cat Stevens

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
May 18 2024

I didn’t remember the pumpkins rocking this hard

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 19 2024

I probably liked this more after seeing them live then when I tried listening before seeing them.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
May 20 2024

Just very bland 90s pop punk. Can’t say I enjoyed any song on the album.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 21 2024

Weird not hearing heads will roll as the remix, but the whole album is actually really solid.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
May 22 2024

I’m by no means a dead head, but I don’t hate them as much as a lot of other people seem to on this website. There were some boring parts where it just sounded like random noodling, but some fun parts too.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
May 23 2024

Better than I was expecting.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
May 24 2024

Not my favorite Sly Album. Felt like it never really got going and was mostly a collection of songs that were almost there.

Harvest by Neil Young
May 25 2024

Top 5 Neil studio album

Night Life by Ray Price
May 26 2024

Not what I usually listen to but not bad.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
May 27 2024

Really enjoyed this album and only recognized one of the songs

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 28 2024

Sad but pretty good

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
May 29 2024

Was going to give it 3 stars until Don’t came in. Including that on an album drops it at least 1 star.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
May 30 2024

Honestly the production is great...the lyrics are a little too out there for me. Drops it from a 3/4 star to a 2 for me.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
May 31 2024

No standout tracks to me, but just a solid album all around wish I could go 3.5 stars but I’ll round up to 4.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jun 01 2024

One of my favorite jazz albums

Tical by Method Man
Jun 02 2024

Been a while since I listened to method man. High school me was all about this. Holds up ok.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jun 03 2024

I need to listen to more PJ Harvey. Really enjoyed this.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 05 2024

Started off pretty good but my interest tailed off by the end

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jun 07 2024

Another meh Brit pop album

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jun 08 2024

I’m starting to get more into Bowie from this list. Great album

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 09 2024

Wow I was not expecting to like this. I’ve tried to get into Morrissey before when he was playing at a festival I was going to. I wasn’t able to then and the little I caught of his performance was…bad. I honestly had considered doing 1 star and not listening for the first time this project. I’m glad I didn’t because I quite enjoyed it. The title track is a little ham fisted and kept this from creeping up to a 4 star.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 10 2024

Fun groovy Isley bros album.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 11 2024

All time classic funk

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jun 12 2024

Meh nothing standing out about this album. I do appreciate the short runtime.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jun 14 2024

Meh, not bad but nothing standing out either.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jun 15 2024

Fantastic hip hop album. The Steely Dan sample song was my favorite

Jun 19 2024

Great album and even better collaborations. Just didn’t have any one song that stood out as a true hit

More Specials by The Specials
Jun 20 2024

I had a 3rd wave ska phase in high school, so kinda cool to listen to some ska revival stuff. Plus I always love a good horn section.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jun 21 2024

The Spotify version of this is only 4 songs. That seems like an appropriate amount.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jun 22 2024

Puts the classic in classic rock.

The Band by The Band
Jun 25 2024

Love the band

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jun 26 2024

Did not care for this

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Jun 27 2024

PJ rocks 🤟

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Jun 28 2024

Not stoned enough when I listened

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jun 29 2024

I fuckin love Steely Dan

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jun 30 2024

I don’t know if I like it because I’m supposed to or if I really just like it.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Jul 01 2024

Did not need 1.5 hours of this. One or two songs to experience something different, fine. It just wouldn’t end.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jul 02 2024

This is a hard one for me. Having gone to high school with Taylor and her not saying the nicest things about our high school, along with I’m sure a healthy dose of jealousy, has made me an anti-swiftie. But, objectively this is a great pop album. I’m a Jack a Todd fan and his fingers are all over this. It kills me, but this is a 4 star record.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Jul 03 2024

Pretty ok funk/ska record. Not doing much for me but I don’t hate it

The Bends by Radiohead
Jul 04 2024

Not the worst Radiohead album but still not a fan.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jul 06 2024

Really good blues album

In Utero by Nirvana
Jul 08 2024

Was great music to listen to during wrestling practice, but as I’ve gotten older and less angsty, it doesn’t speak to me as much. I get it’s culturally significant and all that so it gets bumped up to 4 stars

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jul 10 2024

Great vibes

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jul 12 2024

It was ok

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jul 16 2024

Stevie Wonder is fantastic, this didn’t need to be a double album though.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Jul 17 2024

The last song that was a cover was the best song. Was fun at first but got old quick

Third by Portishead
Jul 18 2024

Soundelike Kate Bush over an electronica album. I didn’t hate it.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Jul 19 2024

That’s was actually really fun

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 20 2024

A classic classic

Achtung Baby by U2
Jul 21 2024

I do t normally like U2, but this was a pretty good album.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Jul 22 2024

Was a two start, but I loved the last song enough to go to 3.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jul 23 2024

Way too much deep purple.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 24 2024

Love the vibe of this album

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 25 2024

I was never a big Bowie fan before this project, but I have definitely become one after hearing a few so far. So I had never heard of the Berlin trilogy before. It started off great but that ambient second half…not my thing

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jul 26 2024

Overall kinda bland to me

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jul 28 2024

🤘🏼

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Jul 29 2024

Very 80s. Nothing really stood out, but nothing made me dislike it.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 30 2024

This isn’t even a top 5 Bruce record for me, but still easily a 5 star album.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jul 31 2024

So influential to the rise of electronic music. Can be a little boring at parts, but still a classic.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Aug 02 2024

All over the place, but in a good way

Aja by Steely Dan
Aug 03 2024

I fuckin love Steely Dan

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Aug 04 2024

Meh didn’t do much for me.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Aug 05 2024

Wish I was chilling smoking a joint listening to this vs driving to work. Still a fun classic hip hop album.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Aug 06 2024

This style of jazz is probably my favorite

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Aug 08 2024

Solid jazz album. Put it on while cleaning the house. Enjoyed it, but didn’t blow me away.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Aug 09 2024

I’ll take classic country over that modern pop country garbage any day. Still not my favorite genre, but it has its place.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Aug 12 2024

Only positive is I now have a specific example of music I hate

Aug 13 2024

Turns out I don’t hate the Smiths like I thought. I don’t love them, but also don’t hate them.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Aug 16 2024

Fun little 90s indie album

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Aug 17 2024

I feel like I’ve heard this whole album played at weddings

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Aug 21 2024

I hated this less than the other Metallica album I got. But I still don’t like Metallica or metal in general

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Aug 22 2024

Wasn’t expecting a Britney album on here. I guess it was culturally huge. I didn’t care for it when it came out and I still don’t.

Drunk by Thundercat
Aug 23 2024

Really liked this album as a cohesive thing not so much for the individual tracks

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Aug 24 2024

Finally made it through! This feels like a mini version of this whole project. Ella had a great voice, no denying that, but I didn’t not need 3.5 hours of this. Also nothing I would ever see myself choosing to listen to again.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Aug 25 2024

Better than I expected based off the album cover, but nothing super memorable.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Aug 26 2024

I’m a sucker for 80s music

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Aug 27 2024

The best Billy Joel

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Aug 28 2024

Fun chill jazz album

Vespertine by Björk
Aug 29 2024

Weird but not bad

Ctrl by SZA
Aug 30 2024

Heard a lot of praise for this when I came out but just middle of the road for me.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Aug 31 2024

Great album and white rabbit is an all time great song

Sep 01 2024

I have a hard time differentiating a good punk album from a bad punk album. This was fine, didn’t hate it, but probably won’t listen again

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Sep 02 2024

Unlistenable nonsense. I will say at least it was more interesting than the slipnot album. I would listen to this over that. To be clear, I hope to never listen to either ever again.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Sep 03 2024

One of the best opening two tracks on any album. Fades a little toward the end

GI by Germs
Sep 04 2024

Punk was kinda fun when I started this list, but man it all sounds the same. This album started over while I was listening and it took me 4 tracks to notice.

So by Peter Gabriel
Sep 06 2024

Peter Gabriel is great and there are some great songs on this album, but not quite 5 star for me. I’d give 4.5 if I could.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Sep 08 2024

This sounds like that one buddy you had who was in a band and they were kinda good, but you could tell they probably weren’t good enough to make it. But then this album is on this list, so I guess they did make it? But then again so are some pretty terrible records, so I don’t even know what to think anymore. 3 stars

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Sep 12 2024

Some fun catchy tunes on here

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Sep 13 2024

I did this project to get out of my comfort zone. Maybe my comfort zone wasn’t so bad.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Sep 14 2024

I’m a full on Bowie fan now because of this list.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Sep 15 2024

Some fun new wave bits, some got a little too weird

Fragile by Yes
Sep 17 2024

Finally, a pros rock record I like

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 18 2024

Started off like a modern beach boys but just got weird and boring at the end

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Sep 19 2024

Not my favorite jazz album but still a good listen.

Be by Common
Sep 20 2024

Nostalgic album for me. For some reason I have a very clear memory of listening to this on a bus to a field trip in high school on my portable CD player. Possibly an early mp3 player. Still holds up well.

Imagine by John Lennon
Sep 21 2024

Meh, imagine is the only great song here

Country Life by Roxy Music
Sep 22 2024

Some fun one on here but not super memorable for me

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Sep 25 2024

Despite not having a classic singing voice by anyone’s definition this works so well and is such an interesting listen.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Sep 27 2024

Decent but a little too heavy for me. Great vocals from skin

Live! by Fela Kuti
Sep 29 2024

Actually preferred his studio album. Ginger baker is a legend, but didn’t need a 10 min drum solo as an entire song.

Guero by Beck
Sep 30 2024

Been jammin a lot of Beck recently

Hotel California by Eagles
Oct 01 2024

Not the greatest record ever, but some classics. Not sure why some people hate this so much

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Oct 03 2024

Two of my favorite Peter Gabriel songs on this album, but also some that were a little too weird keeping it from being a 5 star.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Oct 04 2024

Classic hip hop album but isn’t something I’ll probably listen to again.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Oct 06 2024

Eh, I don’t get the hype. Ok, but I don’t love it.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 07 2024

That was a fun find!

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Oct 08 2024

I’ve always meant to get into Sufjan’s work, but never listened to very much of it. Having this on in the car driving on a beautiful fall day was fantastic.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Oct 09 2024

Got to enjoy this on vinyl. Love this record, but wish I had some Dogfish Head Bitches brew to enjoy it with.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Oct 10 2024

Classic album, but I’m past my raging against anything days.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Oct 11 2024

Sounds like if John Lennon took too much heroin and just noodled around with some half baked song ideas.

War by U2
Oct 12 2024

I’m generally not a U2 fan, but this was a good album.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Oct 13 2024

Good all around album for “one hit wonders”

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Oct 14 2024

I enjoy bluegrass probably more than most, and this is fantastic, but also didn’t need to be over 2 hours.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Oct 16 2024

Early Clapton slaps

The Doors by The Doors
Oct 17 2024

Not a huge doors fan, but this is their best album

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Oct 20 2024

Fun how it makes you feel like you’re having cocktails in Cuba, but not really my cup of tea.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Oct 21 2024

Felt like a bunch of half baked songs

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Oct 22 2024

Not my favorite but solid

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Oct 23 2024

Some nice parts but a little too weird for a lot of it.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Oct 25 2024

Actually loved this. Not some historic album or anything, just really fun. Also a sucker for a good horn section.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 26 2024

Never really liked them

Kala by M.I.A.
Oct 27 2024

Different, but not great outside of a few

The Next Day by David Bowie
Oct 29 2024

Not my favorite Bowie. To melodramatic

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Oct 30 2024

Respect the hell out of Hayes as a musician, but just an ok album.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Oct 31 2024

Not bad not great. Nice little stripped back folk.

Timeless by Goldie
Nov 01 2024

Even as an electronic music fan, this album was way too long. I’m also not a big dnb fan.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Nov 02 2024

Not for me. The guy screaming Kill Me over and over isn’t the music I want to start my day. Or really ever.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Nov 05 2024

Better than the self titled album

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Nov 07 2024

Still not a huge country guy, but Willie is a classic.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Nov 08 2024

Nice little pop album

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Nov 09 2024

Funky fun vibes.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Nov 10 2024

The song Cars will always remind me of Test Drive 6. Synth heavy album.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Nov 11 2024

Love early Kings of Leon, but this record started their sellout era. Still some decent song, but if I never hear sex on fire or use somebody again I’ll be cool with that.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Nov 12 2024

Good song writing but nothing really hooked me and I’m unlikely to return to it.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 13 2024

Pretty ok jazz album. Solid background music.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Nov 14 2024

Little Rock n roller takes on a whole new meaning after the passing of his son.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Nov 15 2024

My personal favorite of Kraftwerk’s. Sounds the most like more modern electronic music they inspired.

Play by Moby
Nov 17 2024

People doing fact listen to Moby

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 18 2024

Probably would be a 5 star to high school freshman me, but this album does hold up. Even more so with the current political climate

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Nov 19 2024

Starts off with a great song and gets weird from there. 3 stars because running up the hill is a jam

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Nov 20 2024

Was not what I was expecting based off the band name. Now I want to watch vanishing point

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Nov 22 2024

I really like discovering other reggae not from Bob Marley

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Nov 23 2024

I wonder how many children we born because of this album.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Nov 26 2024

I wouldn’t put AC/DC up there with a list of all time greats, but this album has some classic tracks on it.

Pump by Aerosmith
Nov 27 2024

I like some Aerosmith, but not this album

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Nov 28 2024

A folk classic, but not my personal favorite

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Nov 29 2024

Fun 60s psych band I had never heard of

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Nov 30 2024

Honestly liked this better than Folsom

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Dec 02 2024

Man all the good Black Sabbath songs are on one album?

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Dec 03 2024

Great album from a band I really enjoy and fortunately got to see headline Coachella

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 04 2024

The talking heads don’t miss

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Dec 06 2024

Two talking heads albums in one week? On track for my favorite week on the generator yet. Another great one from the Talking Heads. Especially love Life During Wartime. One of the records I listened to the bonus material from the deluxe edition.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Dec 07 2024

Just an absolute classic from van the man

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Dec 08 2024

One of my favorite Neil albums. Just veered off into the ditch

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Dec 09 2024

Maybe I would like old tango better?

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Dec 10 2024

It’s prince so it’s solid, but nothing really grabbing me.

Phrenology by The Roots
Dec 11 2024

Some songs hold up, some have that issue where I would not be able to sing along to them, but I guess that’s more of a me problem. Still a classic with some songs I would go back to.

Doolittle by Pixies
Dec 12 2024

I really like how varied this album is. There’s some scream-y punk stuff, some more melodic stuff. Some I disliked, some I really like. 4 stars mainly because it was interesting and kept me engaged throughout.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Dec 13 2024

Joni is a legend, and blue is just flat out beautiful.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Dec 14 2024

One of the many great Elvis Costello albums

John Prine by John Prine
Dec 16 2024

John was a national treasure

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Dec 18 2024

Meh, nothing really grabbing me, but not bad.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Dec 19 2024

My favorite white stripes album

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Dec 20 2024

Not a big rap guy but this was a fun listen

Green by R.E.M.
Dec 21 2024

I like but don’t love REM. This album was fine.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Dec 22 2024

Might have gotten a start for sentimentality, but it hold up pretty well.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Dec 25 2024

Parts of this sounded like Jason Segel’s vampire puppet opera.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Dec 27 2024

Just blended into background music.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Dec 28 2024

Not really my thing but I get why it’s highly praised

Dec 29 2024

A lot of it was bad, some was ok, and blinded by the lights was really good. Rounds out to a 3 star

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Dec 30 2024

Not really my cup of tea

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 31 2024

Bob’s studio stuff doesn’t hit near as well as his live stuff. Still iconic.

Dare! by The Human League
Jan 01 2025

It doesn't get more 80s sounding than this, but overall, despite me usually loving 80s music, nothing here really stuck with me

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jan 02 2025

I don’t know much about jazz but I know this is a vibe.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jan 03 2025

Meh kind of like a not as good Marvin Gaye

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jan 04 2025

Love anything Neil touches.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jan 06 2025

Elvis doesn’t miss

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jan 08 2025

Really enjoyed Ray’s big band Nola jazzy style album. I’m adding Let the Good Times Roll to the playlist next time I’m heading to New Orleans

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 09 2025

One of my favorite Springsteen albums which makes it one of my favorite albums period. This departure from the E street band, just him in his house with his guitar produced some of his best song writing. Can’t wait for the movie about this time period and anyone who enjoyed this album should go read deliver me from nowhere.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Jan 10 2025

Great title track, but after reading the reviews calling the rest elevator music, I can’t unhear it.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jan 11 2025

Another fantastic Joni Mitchell album. I forgot how good Raised on Robbery was.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jan 12 2025

I’m not a huge Elvis fan but he is the king.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jan 13 2025

Can’t say I felt strongly either way about it.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 14 2025

One of the greatest records of all time. Only thing that could have made it better is if they replaced Oh Daddy with Silver Springs

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jan 15 2025

Sounds like it would have been a fun show but I’m just kinda indifferent to cheap trick.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 16 2025

Isn’t anything impressing me on this album, but it’s not bad. Very middle of the road.

The Visitors by ABBA
Jan 17 2025

I thought I would recognize more abba songs

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jan 18 2025

In a certain context I could see myself enjoying this more, but too moody for first thing in the morning.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jan 19 2025

There’s some nostalgia to these songs, but overall doesn’t hold up as well as some other hip-hop from that time.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jan 21 2025

Really enjoyed this. Reminded me of Pretty Lights, who I’m sure was inspired by this album.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jan 22 2025

A lot of song writers are called poets, and Leonard Cohen might be the most deserving of that title.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jan 24 2025

Definitely a different electronic album. Sounded more like a movie score than anything that would be played at a club. Nothing really jumped out at me or made an impression but not bad.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 25 2025

Love it, so many classics.

Cross by Justice
Jan 26 2025

Just a fantastic electronic album.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 28 2025

Elvis Costello doesn’t miss. Makes me want to go watch The Duece again

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jan 29 2025

Fine early 00s garage rock, but nothing really connected with me.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jan 30 2025

I have a soft spot for factory records after watching 24hr Party People

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jan 31 2025

Not sure why everyone loved the sitar in the 60s/70s. Can’t even picture myself enjoying this on acid.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 01 2025

Not a huge Van Halen fan but this album is a classic.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Feb 02 2025

Not doing it for me

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Feb 04 2025

I don’t know if this is consider mid career Dylan or late career Dylan. Either way I know a lot of people who love his stuff even up through the 2020s. There were a few good tracks here but overall sounded too slow and tired. Didn’t hate it didn’t love it.

Feb 05 2025

I hate calling bands a one hit wonder, but it might be true for a-ha. Take on Me, a classic. The rest of the album wasn’t really noteworthy at all. Still had take on me though, so 3 stars.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Feb 06 2025

Brampton would have been a fun live show to see

The Coral by The Coral
Feb 07 2025

Interesting and had it moments but probably won’t be coming back to this one.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 08 2025

I disliked this less than some other Radiohead albums, even liked some of it, but I still don’t understand how people listen to Thom York sing and love it so much. It’s just so whiney

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Feb 11 2025

I listened to this yesterday and don’t remember a song from it.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Feb 15 2025

Sad and gloomy which I generally don’t care for, but also surprisingly interesting.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Feb 16 2025

Kinda like a mix between the national and the Pixies

Feb 17 2025

Kick push is fantastic and the rest of the album had some great lyrical content.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Feb 20 2025

I really hope there are only 2 slipnot records on this list. Hated every second of it. Granted I don’t like this style of music, but I hear even people who do kinda shit on slipnot. Just a painful hour to get through

Arular by M.I.A.
Feb 23 2025

Not bad, but not real hits sticking out

Feb 25 2025

I can see the merit of it, but I’m just not unit hat 90s grunge music that much.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Feb 26 2025

Nostalgic but not my style

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Feb 27 2025

Interesting, not bad, but not good. Like some extra weird David Byrne stuff.

Third by Soft Machine
Feb 28 2025

No, just no. What even is this?

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Mar 02 2025

I mean it has that one song. Other than that, just mediocre acid rock

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Mar 05 2025

Van the man! Normally a 1.5 hour live album would get a big eye roll from me but this was fantastic

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Mar 08 2025

Pretty solid, never heard of Paul Weller before

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Mar 09 2025

It had its moments, but the screaming, screeching guitars, and whining isn’t for me.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Mar 11 2025

I might have overlooked how good ZZ Top’s discography is.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Mar 12 2025

Definitely not normally my kind of thing, but it never got too heavy and the lyrics were pretty intense.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Mar 14 2025

I’m going to tell my kids this was father John misty. But seriously this was really solid.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Mar 15 2025

I’m generally a fan of 60s rock music, but this was just mindless noodling. Not sure why it would be on the list. Not offensive, just boring

Mar 16 2025

Has a lot of the issues most hip hop from that era where it just feels uncomfortable with the misogynistic lyrics even though the one song kinda had a little rebuttal.

Black Metal by Venom
Mar 17 2025

I don’t like metal and this is no exception

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Mar 20 2025

Wild the difference between this and modern hip-hop. It was fine, but probably not something I would come back to.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Mar 21 2025

I can’t say I can distinguish great jazz from ok jazz, but I do feel classy listening to it.

Real Life by Magazine
Mar 22 2025

It had its moments but never jumped into the “I really enjoy this” category

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Mar 24 2025

Fine but never hit good for me.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Mar 25 2025

This couldn’t sound more late 70s

Revolver by Beatles
Mar 26 2025

My favorite Beatles album

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Mar 27 2025

I had only listened to the back in the high life album from Steve so wood. This didn’t have as many catchy singles, but still a solid album.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Mar 28 2025

Got velvet underground & Nic and this back to back. As most people agree, the stuff with VU is better. This was t bad, just a little too much heroine music back to back.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Mar 29 2025

Sad indie rock that wasn’t really doing much for me.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Mar 30 2025

Dollar store Beatles

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Mar 31 2025

Really enjoyed this one. Will listen again

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Apr 01 2025

It was fine, nothing really grabbed my attention much.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Apr 02 2025

Just fantastic early electronic album.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Apr 09 2025

Ok background music

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Apr 10 2025

Some good one but not enough to make it worth a double sided album

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Apr 12 2025

Just not a big prof fan

Palo Congo by Sabu
Apr 13 2025

Yeah not doing it for me

Quiet Life by Japan
Apr 15 2025

Meh, a little too whiney for me

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 18 2025

Crazy good opening 4 tracks

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Apr 19 2025

Great vibe all around.

Metallica by Metallica
Apr 20 2025

I get why they’re on the list and enter sandman is a jam, but outside of that I just don’t like Metallica

Apr 21 2025

Not something I’d listen to now but I was in middle school when this came out and it was huge, even with a bunch of white suburban kids.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Apr 22 2025

Glad this project got me listening to more Tom Waits

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Apr 23 2025

Meh still think of them as one hit wonders. But that hit does enough to bring it to 3 stars

Transformer by Lou Reed
Apr 24 2025

Two great songs and a lot of Lou being Lou. Some of these could have been pulled from a Tim Robinson sketch

Dummy by Portishead
Apr 26 2025

Have heard of but never listened to Portishead. I liked the vibes

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Apr 27 2025

Not bad, some decent songs.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Apr 28 2025

Ok, but nothing wowed me.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Apr 30 2025

I mean waterfalls is good. Not really much else that I’m into.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
May 01 2025

Could picture listening to this in a smoke filled Vegas lounge in the late 50s

Very by Pet Shop Boys
May 02 2025

I get why they were so popular. Solid album

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
May 03 2025

Probably helps I just watched the Dylan Biopic but love me some early 60s ne work folk music.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
May 07 2025

Just kinda faded into the background for me. Would be a 3 star but I’m docking it 1 because I don’t need 2 versions of each song on a record. Make a French record or make an English record. Don’t need both together.

Django Django by Django Django
May 08 2025

Heard of but never listened to them before. This was awesome, first 5 star from a new to me group.

May 09 2025

Yeah I’ve listened to this before and this is the first one I refuse to listen to again for this project. Fuck Kanye the Nazi. I didn’t even really care for it when it came out. Never loved the whole auto tune everything era of rap.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
May 10 2025

Kinda groovy, and considering what I read about it, kinda glad I couldn’t understand the lyrics.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
May 12 2025

A lot of times I would probably give this a 3, but this one I listened to on a long car ride and could actually listen to the lyrics. That bumped it to a 2. It’s like if oasis wrote really bad songs.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
May 13 2025

Say them live without knowing any of their songs and really enjoyed it, so was happy to get one of their albums. Fun stuff

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
May 14 2025

The background of the artist was kinda interesting, but the music was not.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 15 2025

I know people hate on how many albums he has on this list, but I think it’s deserved. One of the greatest song writers to ever do it. This isn’t my favorite of his, but still great.

Mask by Bauhaus
May 17 2025

Fun album

Hysteria by Def Leppard
May 19 2025

Not a big dec leopard or that style of 80s rock, but can admit the album had a lot of hits

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
May 20 2025

Fine but nothing standing out.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
May 21 2025

Like a prayer slaps, not a ton else on the album that stood out to me.

Pretenders by Pretenders
May 22 2025

I keep forgetting about the Pretenders, but I shouldn’t. Solid all around album.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
May 23 2025

Didn’t get it the first time I listened to this years ago, but really enjoyed it this time through

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
May 24 2025

I still don’t like metal. At least this album was short

Close To You by Carpenters
May 25 2025

Michael ceras cover in Superbad was better

May 26 2025

This was better than most of the Brit pop stuff I’ve never heard of. Would listen again.

The Yes Album by Yes
May 27 2025

Not usually a prof fan but I liked this. I’ve Seen All Good People is a jam

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
May 28 2025

I don’t know what this was, but it wasn’t good.

Blur by Blur
May 30 2025

Started off strong but fell off pretty quick.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
May 31 2025

Not sure what this was, but it wasn’t for me.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jun 01 2025

This slaps

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Jun 02 2025

I didn’t care for the first Spiritualized record on this list, but I really enjoyed this

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jun 04 2025

Would have been a 3 star without the overly preachy songs.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jun 05 2025

Listened to this album several times, and own it in vinyl, still haven’t watched the movie.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 07 2025

Not the best album for a morning workout. It’s well done, a little depressing, but that’s kinda the point. I respect it but don’t think I’ll come back to it.

Kenza by Khaled
Jun 09 2025

Yeah not really my thing

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jun 11 2025

Just meh. Some songs were cool some I don’t know if they could even be considered songs. I didn’t hate it, just kinda faded into the background

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

RIP Brian Wilson. Felt extra special today, but not one of my favorite beach boys records. Still 4 stars

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jun 14 2025

Interesting, liked but didn’t love.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jun 15 2025

I like him better with C,N, and Y, but still a good offering from probably my personal favorite era of rock

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jun 17 2025

Would drink mojitos to this

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jun 18 2025

Didn’t know this collab existed. Fun super group

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jun 19 2025

Meh, generic 60s psych folk. Very middle of the road

Ramones by Ramones
Jun 20 2025

Such a great record. No notes

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jun 21 2025

Title track is great rest of the album fine.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jun 22 2025

It’s all covers and doesn’t have som of a preacher man on it, but Dusty still sounds great.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jun 23 2025

Was dying on my bike while listening to this, but I think I enjoyed the music.

Garbage by Garbage
Jun 24 2025

Definitely not garbage

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Jun 25 2025

A lot of hits, but it’s still Bon Jovi.

Odelay by Beck
Jun 26 2025

My favorite Beck album

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jun 28 2025

Eh I mean it’s fine, but I never thought they were anything special.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 29 2025

Seemed interesting at first but trailed off into ok pretty quick.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jul 01 2025

I want to hate it because Morrisey, but it’s not awful.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Jul 02 2025

Big fan of electronic music, but hadn’t listened to this. I get why it’s a classic

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jul 03 2025

Strange but not awful

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jul 04 2025

This list keeps showing me how wrong I was about not being really into Bowie.

Sulk by The Associates
Jul 07 2025

Generic 80s music

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jul 08 2025

Yeah idk what this was. One comment called it discount Bowie, that seems appropriate.

Eagles by Eagles
Jul 10 2025

I don’t hate the Eagles

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 12 2025

Bruce is pretty much an auto 5 star for me, but this is a fantastic later career offering.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jul 14 2025

Glad that it was more manic and less preachy

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 15 2025

I like the Dexys but this album didn’t need to be on this list

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jul 16 2025

Felt like a two but I was in a shit mood yesterday so probably really a 3.

Protection by Massive Attack
Jul 17 2025

Really like this

California by American Music Club
Jul 18 2025

Not bad but didn’t need to hear this before I died.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Jul 19 2025

It’s Rod Stewart but not his hits.

Nowhere by Ride
Jul 20 2025

Not bad but too long. Fine

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jul 21 2025

Didn’t love it didn’t hate it.

B-52's by The B-52's
Jul 22 2025

Weird, but cool weird.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Jul 23 2025

Decent classic hiphop nothing really stood out to me though

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Can’t say I was ever a huge Black Sabbath fan. But I respect Ozzy and his contributions to music. RIP

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jul 25 2025

Very meh

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jul 26 2025

I actually kinda liked this one. Working class hero is a jam.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jul 29 2025

It’s AC/DC. Classic but not fantastic…it’s just AC/DC.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jul 30 2025

A couple hits, good bluesy rock, what’s not to love?

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jul 31 2025

This was really fun, exactly the kind of stuff I hoped to find from this list.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Aug 01 2025

I saw noise rock and knew I was t going to like it. I wasn’t wrong

Melodrama by Lorde
Aug 03 2025

I think I like pop

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Aug 04 2025

Man there are some bangers on here

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 05 2025

CCR is pretty much an auto 5

Movies by Holger Czukay
Aug 06 2025

Interesting, liked it more than I expected to.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Aug 07 2025

Good but no tracks that stood out to me

Stankonia by OutKast
Aug 08 2025

Some classics but overall too much filler

25 by Adele
Aug 12 2025

The hits hit, the rest pretty meh. The hits do push it to a 4 star

Electric by The Cult
Aug 13 2025

That was certainly an album

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Aug 15 2025

Ozzy is a legend, but I’m just not that big of a fan of this style of music.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Aug 16 2025

Leonard cohen feels like the kind of artist where if I did a deep dive into his life and understood the context behind his song, and took the time to really take in all the lyrics, he’d be like a top 5 song writer for me. I haven’t done any of that and I might never, but I can tell there’s something there.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 17 2025

I grew up in the 90s so I thought I liked the smashing pumpkins, guess I just like the hits. A lot heavier than I was expecting. Still had enough hits to keep it at a 3. Also 2 hours? C’mon.

D by White Denim
Aug 18 2025

I like these hipsters

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Aug 19 2025

Love the stones, but when they actually write original songs.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Aug 21 2025

Good, but a bit too long.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Aug 25 2025

It’s fine, not good, not great….fine

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Aug 26 2025

I mean, it’s Paul McCartney

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Aug 27 2025

What the hell was that about?

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Aug 28 2025

Chill songs from an artist I’ve never heard of.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Aug 29 2025

Never really listened to a full album of FKA twigs. It was fine, not my favorite.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Aug 30 2025

Not awful but pretty boring. Knocking a star enough because it didn’t need to be that long.

Soul Mining by The The
Aug 31 2025

Some interesting songs but also sounds like he’s trying to be Morrisey on some of them. Don’t think it’ll make it to 4 stars for me.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Sep 01 2025

Fine but nothing stood out

Picture Book by Simply Red
Sep 02 2025

Really enjoyed this. A talking heads cover never hurts and holding back the years slaps

Make Yourself by Incubus
Sep 03 2025

I might have to return my 90s kid card, but I never really cared for Incubus. Not bad but just not something I would pick to listen to.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 04 2025

I’ve never looked at my shoes this much

Queen II by Queen
Sep 05 2025

A whole queen album and sad to say I didn’t recognize any of the songs. Not my favorite but still queen.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Sep 07 2025

It’s van the man’s best album

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Sep 08 2025

I like the Police but did t think this is one of their best

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Sep 10 2025

If I sat with these lyrics for a while this would probably be even better

All Directions by The Temptations
Sep 11 2025

Papa was a rollin stone

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Sep 12 2025

Girl pink with a sax is fun, but not enough to get a 4th star from me

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 14 2025

Just never a foo fighters fan. Music always seemed bland to me.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Sep 17 2025

Fun little folk album

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Sep 19 2025

Is it weird or is it genius? Neither it’s Frank Zappa

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Sep 20 2025

This was a vibe

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Sep 21 2025

The album is a 4, shame he’s an ass

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Sep 23 2025

Look at them! They’re on pot

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Sep 25 2025

One of the easier 5s I’ve given

Abraxas by Santana
Sep 27 2025

Smooth

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Sep 30 2025

I love electronic music but this was so boring.

Technique by New Order
Oct 01 2025

It’s ok, more upbeat than I expected from New Order

Who's Next by The Who
Oct 03 2025

It has Baba O’Riley

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Oct 06 2025

I liked this more than the other cute records on here

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Oct 07 2025

So glad Miles birthed cool, must have been a pretty lame world before this came out.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Oct 08 2025

8 miles high and falling faaaaaast

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Oct 09 2025

Nostalgia probably bumps this from a 3 to 4 stars. Honestly had no idea this came out in ‘94. All the kids from “outside Philly” would play this all the time when I was in college in the late aughts.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Oct 12 2025

They have the one song, the rest are fine.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Oct 13 2025

I was never a huge nirvana fan, but still a great record.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Oct 15 2025

Never got into Jane’s Addiction. Don’t love his voice

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Oct 17 2025

I still don’t get Radiohead, but this one is my favorite album of there’s. Still don’t really care for it but I don’t hate it.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 18 2025

The perfect album

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Oct 20 2025

Great voice but ok music

British Steel by Judas Priest
Oct 21 2025

Heavy rock doesn’t really do it for me. It can be fun, but not something I would intentionally put on

Closer by Joy Division
Oct 22 2025

Pretty solid

Slayed? by Slade
Oct 24 2025

It was fine, just fine.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Oct 25 2025

I’d give it like a 3.5 with the .5 bump being because I really like 80s music for some reason.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Oct 26 2025

Started slow but really picked up by the end

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Oct 27 2025

Proper electronic music.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 28 2025

It took me a little time come around to LCD soundsystem but I’m glad I did.

Suede by Suede
Oct 30 2025

Nothing that stood out to me, but fine.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Nov 02 2025

Over under 1 kilo of coke used to make this album

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Nov 04 2025

Joni is a national treasure

Atomizer by Big Black
Nov 05 2025

Not for me

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Nov 08 2025

I’ve heard the song before but if you had asked me who sister sledge were, I would have said an 80s hair metal band. This is better

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Nov 09 2025

I mean the first 6 songs are all great. Not many albums on this list that can claim that.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Nov 11 2025

Middle of the road for me

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Nov 12 2025

Definitely interesting and different, a little long, but going to give it 4 stars so I come back to it.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Nov 14 2025

Odd not really my thing

xx by The xx
Nov 15 2025

I think this is the first record I bought on vinyl. Very nostalgic but I still listen to it somewhat regularly. Great overall album.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Nov 16 2025

Frank Zappa is so weird

Vivid by Living Colour
Nov 17 2025

I know that one song from rock band. Other than that…ok

Skylarking by XTC
Nov 20 2025

Had never listening to XTC before. At different points I thought “oh they kinda sound like _____” until I had to just admit they’re their own unique thing. Really liked it.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Nov 21 2025

Not really my thing

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Nov 22 2025

The dead try playing actual songs

Raw Power by The Stooges
Nov 23 2025

Good not great

Opus Dei by Laibach
Nov 24 2025

Got an extra star for the album cover.

White Ladder by David Gray
Nov 25 2025

Hey I know that one song!

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 29 2025

Fuck no. Sounds like even worse Radiohead

Nov 30 2025

It was ok, nothing really stood out a great to me.

Arise by Sepultura
Dec 02 2025

Yup I still hate metal

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Dec 03 2025

Kinda sounded like a a budget Elvis Costello. Good song writing, a fun cover. Solid album.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Dec 05 2025

I always kinda liked UK rap.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Dec 06 2025

They really didn’t need two of these albums on the list, but this is the better of the two.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Dec 08 2025

Not a huge DnB guy but this was chill and vibey. I liked it.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 11 2025

All the stuff from the wu-tang guys around this time is pretty solid.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Dec 12 2025

I mean this is one of the greatest albums ever

Lost Souls by Doves
Dec 14 2025

Fine but not standing out.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Dec 16 2025

Been getting a lot of old electronic music and I love it!

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 17 2025

It’s not my favorite chili peppers album but has some great songs. Loved this album in high school.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Dec 19 2025

A classic but not my favorite Stevie Wonder record.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Dec 20 2025

It was ok, great voice.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Dec 21 2025

Honestly didn’t hate the music but 2 hours is too long.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Dec 22 2025

Not a big D’Angelo fan

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Dec 24 2025

I can see the significance to the sound but still just meh for me.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Dec 25 2025

I really wish I didn’t discover Ryan Adam’s music after knowing he’s a shit person. This album 4 stars, Ryan as a person 0 stars

Violator by Depeche Mode
Dec 30 2025

Not a big space mode guy but they’re alright.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Dec 31 2025

I dig it

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 01 2026

Great way to close out 2025 and year two of the list. Love the fleet foxes, but I think helplessness blues is a better album.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jan 04 2026

Great voice, tough listen for a morning workout.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jan 05 2026

Not doing it for me

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Jan 06 2026

Too angry for me

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jan 07 2026

Hadn’t heard this beach boys record before. Not surprised it’s really good.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Jan 10 2026

It had its moments but 2+ hours is too much.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jan 11 2026

Guess I like Irish music. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Jan 12 2026

I like electronic stuff but this is too heavy on the cheese

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jan 14 2026

Janice’s voice is iconic

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jan 15 2026

It was fine

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jan 18 2026

Wasn’t really into Christina in the 2000s, and I’m still not.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jan 19 2026

Yeah no

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jan 20 2026

A true classic, but some filler and could use less skits.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 21 2026

Maybe the worst album to listen to while working out in the morning.

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 23 2026

Can’t be mad listening to Abba

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 24 2026

Different than what I expect from VU, but pretty solid.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Jan 25 2026

I like him better with CSNY, but still a solid solo album.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 26 2026

Eh it’s Aerosmith, not my favorite, but fine.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jan 27 2026

I really didn’t need an hour of listening about how horny these guys are.

Fun House by The Stooges
Jan 29 2026

Eh just ok

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jan 30 2026

It wasn’t bad, but I’d rather just go listen to the music he’s imitating

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Feb 01 2026

Couldn’t understand a word, but nice vibe

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Feb 04 2026

Normally I ding long albums but this one was actually engaging and told a story.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Feb 05 2026

One of the best rock and roll live albums.

Horses by Patti Smith
Feb 06 2026

A classic

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Feb 08 2026

I knew this was popular, but hadn’t listened before. Really nice, and Cranes in the Sky was a highlight.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Feb 09 2026

Fine, nothing special for me

Feb 10 2026

Definitely different like a mix between the talking heads and late Beatles, but never as good as either of them in their own.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Feb 12 2026

Wasn’t a fan of this in 2002, and I’m still not in 2026

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Feb 13 2026

This is an interesting one. I generally really like songs that have an upbeat sounding melody but the lyrics don’t match that tone. Like some stuff that Steely Dan and Warren Zevon do. Randy Newman does this a lot too, and I generally really like his music. But how far is too far? Like I get the point of rednecks, but I wouldn’t play that song in front of anyone else in 2026. Idk, my gut still says it’s a 4 Star album so that’s what I’m going with.

Cut by The Slits
Feb 14 2026

It’s ok

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Feb 16 2026

I’ve heard some of these songs but wouldn’t have recognized the band name. Shame on me for that.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Feb 18 2026

Always down for some chemical bros

Suicide by Suicide
Feb 20 2026

Not sure how I’d feel about this album if I didn’t read the Springsteen book Deliver Me From Nowhere. The fact that it influenced probably my favorite album from my favorite artist definitely helps it. It also sounds like something that came out in the late 80s not 70s, so that’s cool. It can also be horrifying at times. So I guess 4 stars

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Feb 22 2026

I hope this is the last Morrissey album I get.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 23 2026

Solid 4 star from Fiona Apple

Hms Fable by Shack
Feb 25 2026

This was an album

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Feb 27 2026

I liked his burrito bros stuff more.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Feb 28 2026

Haven’t heard this one before. Solid early rock

Rapture by Anita Baker
Mar 01 2026

Perfectly fine, great voice, but nothing stands out as excellent

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Mar 02 2026

Great and sadly still very topical

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Mar 03 2026

Not what I was expecting but really enjoyed this one.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Mar 04 2026

If you do t listen to the lyrics this could be a 3/4 star

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Mar 07 2026

I’m a huge Steely Dan fan and I like this album, but not sure why this made the list when there’s at least 2 steely Dan albums that I e gotten so far. Still slaps tho

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Mar 08 2026

Shit music by a shit person. One of the easier 1 stars I’ve given out.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Mar 10 2026

It was fine, not bad gym music.

Music by Madonna
Mar 11 2026

There were points where it was pretty good and some points it was pretty bad

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 12 2026

Jump! And other assorted hits

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Mar 13 2026

Great concept and Wilson’s great.

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 14 2026

Man the cars have so many hits.

Roots by Sepultura
Mar 15 2026

Just awful, I hated every second of it. Actually I take that back, there was one random acoustic guitar thing in there that wasn’t awful. Also what the fuck was that last song. It was both the dumbest and possibly best part of the album.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Mar 16 2026

It was fine, interesting at points.

Da Capo by Love
Mar 18 2026

Inoffensively meh

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Mar 21 2026

Now I know why I only know one song by them.

Tago Mago by Can
Mar 22 2026

That was something. Tanged from pretty cool to WTF is this?

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Mar 23 2026

Fine, don’t recall too much from it.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Mar 24 2026

Temu Beatles

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Mar 25 2026

Not my favorite Paul Simon record, but still good.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Mar 26 2026

Vibey, but probably something I won’t ever listen to again.

Destroyer by KISS
Mar 28 2026

I was always pretty meh on Kiss, this didn’t change that.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mar 30 2026

Great songwriting

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Mar 31 2026

Fun fact Todd is from the same area where I grew up. Not fun fact, I don’t live his music.

The Score by Fugees
Apr 01 2026

Wyclef is a scumbag, but this album is great.

Damaged by Black Flag
Apr 04 2026

Too angry for me, but not as bad as metal.

Being There by Wilco
Apr 05 2026

Better than AM, but not as good as YHF. Wilco is great.

Parklife by Blur
Apr 06 2026

It was fine

Pink Flag by Wire
Apr 08 2026

Fine little album. Not really my style but interesting

The Slider by T. Rex
Apr 11 2026

Solidly above average classic rock.

Apr 13 2026

I actually really like this style of electronic music.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 16 2026

Tusk is awesome

The Predator by Ice Cube
Apr 17 2026

Still relevant lyrically but also has heavy on the misogyny, homophobia that makes it uncomfortable to listen to in 2026

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Apr 20 2026

Just sounds like a warm night in NOLA

The Clash by The Clash
Apr 21 2026

Not London Calling, but still solid.

Risque by CHIC
Apr 22 2026

Meh

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Apr 24 2026

I wasn’t as offended by this as it seems like most reviewers were. Just pretty bland

Among The Living by Anthrax
Apr 26 2026

I didn’t hate this as much as I hate most metal I’ve gotten in this list.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Apr 30 2026

I was running around town while moving and it made it feel like a little movie soundtrack to my day

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
May 01 2026

Good chill background cocktail party music.

May 03 2026

Didn’t realized I got the extended edition. Probably didn’t need that, was a 3 star for being too long. Changing to a 4 mostly because of a a Fairytale of New York

No Other by Gene Clark
May 04 2026

Surprised by this is a great way

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
May 05 2026

I get this is big for garage rock, but it’s mostly covers.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
May 06 2026

It was fine, but not really pushing me to dive deeper into their catalog

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
May 07 2026

I love good lyrics but I personally liked the different style of production Cohen used here.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
May 08 2026

This could be 5 stars if they trimmed it down to the best 40 min

The Stooges by The Stooges
May 09 2026

Iggy Pop is a weird dude, and so is this album, but like in a cool way.

Medúlla by Björk
May 10 2026

Weird but interesting

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
May 12 2026

Fantastic bookends on the album. The middle lost me a little.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 13 2026

Not for me, sad, creepy…not my my thing

Repeater by Fugazi
May 14 2026

I’ve heard of the band a lot. Not really my style, but I appreciate the influence

En-Tact by The Shamen
May 15 2026

Middle of the road electronic music, which is generally a genre I enjoy more than most. But this was kinda meh

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
May 16 2026

Not my style

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 17 2026

Well shit, a metal album I didn’t hate. It is possible! I really think it’s the vocals for me. I can’t do the growl yelling, and this is more 80s hair band vocals.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
May 20 2026

It was fine, nice song writing but not super memorable.

Faust IV by Faust
May 21 2026

Well considering it’s my last name I feel like it’s at least 4 stars. Ok music, out there, kinda interesting, still listenable.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
May 22 2026

Pretty good, wild this came out over 20 years ago. Great guests.

Homework by Daft Punk
May 24 2026

Love daft punk

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
May 25 2026

So this is the album Ian Curtis listened to when he killed himself? It’s not that bad

White Light by Gene Clark
May 26 2026

Trying to be like the great solo artists of that time and not really getting there.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
May 28 2026

Really liked this. Sounds like a precursor to Courtney Barnett etc.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 29 2026

Makes me want a cocktail on a beach

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
May 30 2026

Not really my favorite style but still decent

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
May 31 2026

I definitely see the comparison to the flaming lips. I dig it

Debut by Björk
Jun 01 2026

Weird like only Bjork can be

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Jun 02 2026

Dr John is the coolest

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jun 04 2026

This is so hard to rate. I didn’t hate it, which considering how long it is, is impressive. You could make a great album from some of the songs. Overall intrigued me more than a meh 3 star so I gotta go 4.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jun 05 2026

Didn’t love it didn’t hate it. Very middle of the road

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jun 06 2026

It’s Paul Simon but it’s not the best Paul simon

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Jun 07 2026

I quite liked this

1999 by Prince
Jun 08 2026

Prince is great but this isn’t his greatest.

Traffic by Traffic
Jun 09 2026

Feelin alright about giving this a 3

1977 by Ash
Jun 10 2026

Fine, not really my favorite rock style but didn’t hate it.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jun 11 2026

Brit folk that sticks to the middle of the road.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jun 14 2026

I still don’t like Morrissey, but maybe I don’t hate him

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 17 2026

Iconic album cover, but not my favorite Pink Floyd album.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jun 18 2026

I need to listen to more Beach House

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Jun 21 2026

WTF?

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 23 2026

Easy 5 star

#1 Record by Big Star
Jun 25 2026

Shocked I have t heard this, well outside of the That 70s Show theme.

Marquee Moon by Television
Jun 26 2026

Yeah this definitely sounds like NYC in the early 70s. Great album.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jun 27 2026

Went a little long.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jun 28 2026

Not really an Aerosmith fan, but this would be my favorite of theirs.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 30 2026

I love Elvis Costello, but I can get the criticism of having too much of him on the list. I could have done without this one.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jul 04 2026

Pretty solid, couple of classics.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jul 05 2026

I’ll put my T swift bias aside, but even still this is such a middle of the road album, some cool’s guests tho.

Kenya by Machito
Jul 06 2026

Interesting but not something I’d seek out again.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jul 07 2026

I’ve heard some of these before! I like the vibe.

Future Days by Can
Jul 08 2026

I feel like it would be cool to say I’m really into this band. But it’s just ok.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jul 09 2026

Stereo MCs in the place to be…mediocre

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jul 12 2026
Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Jul 13 2026

I normally really like new wave, but this was just so bland.

Jul 15 2026

Still working some stuff out. I’m not even a huge fan of final form Pink Floyd, so this was just ok for me.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jul 16 2026

Wow this is awesome, how have I not heard this before? Coming off some really pre toots artsy albums recently this was a breath of fresh air. Remarkably tight for a debut album. Will definitely be coming back to this.

Faith by George Michael
Jul 17 2026

Faith is a banger, not really into the rest of the album.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Jul 18 2026

Not sure how I missed this album when I came out. Right up my alley

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jul 19 2026

Yeah this is a as weird as everyone says. But having gotten a Robert Wyatt album a few before this, makes me an appreciate it a little bit.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jul 20 2026

Great band, great record

Nixon by Lambchop
Jul 21 2026

Fine, inoffensive. Just kinda there

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jul 22 2026

Different, kinda fun. I’d listen again.

Jul 23 2026

4 stars just because grounds for divorce is so good.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jul 24 2026

I actually found the exoplanets kinda interesting as opposed to just an hour of straight sitar music.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jul 25 2026

Some all time tracks, but feel I need to knock it 1 star for all the not all time tracks included too

S&M by Metallica
Jul 26 2026

I don’t like Metallica, so I’m not going to like a 2+ hour live set of Metallica with strings. I get why people would, but not for me.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 27 2026

My favorite Nick Cave record so far. Still not something I’d probably listen to again, but not too depressing.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Jul 29 2026

It might just be because I’m reading Meet Me in the Bathroom and Jack White is a fan of The Cramps, but this isn’t terrible. Not a 4 star, but high 3.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jul 30 2026

Such an insanely good album. Too 3 album from one of my top 3 artists.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jul 31 2026

Really enjoying listening to more Tom Waits during this journey.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Aug 03 2026

So fucking good.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Aug 04 2026

Nostalgic and all that, but man is Eminem fucked up. After 20+ years of hindsight I do see why our parents didn’t want us listening to this.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Aug 06 2026

I assumed they included the writers in the artist listing to try and get people to listen? Not offensively bad, just dumb.

Aug 07 2026

I feel like jazz and fine art are very similar to me. I don’t know nearly enough about either to speak intelligently about it, I only know a few of the most prominent names, but sometimes it just makes me feel something I can’t explain which is pretty cool.

Dookie by Green Day
Aug 09 2026

The best Green Day album.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Aug 10 2026

Very meh
