Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jan 04 2024

very 60s psychedelic. an absolute classic. Thoroughly enjoyed but not a gym album for sure

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jan 05 2024

as a huge pixies and nirvana fan, I love this album. it is grassroots grunge, with the same feel and emotion, but a bit more experimental and almost 60s sounding at points.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 06 2024

very much a poppy feel but a very consistent album the whole way through. filled with classics and you can’t complain about bruce springsteen, he’s a tried and tested artist. maybe not my favorite springsteen album but definetely one of the best and well worth listening to.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 07 2024

kinda meh. nothing about it really stood out to me that much. definetely not my style

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jan 08 2024

thoroughly enjoyed this album, a very diverse sound with some great songs sprinkled in. this guy is a good song writer and has a great voice

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Jan 11 2024

I’ve never really been a punk rock fan and this album is no exception. Nothing about it really impressed me, not the writing, playing or singing. sure it had its moments but I don’t think i’ll ever listen to it again.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Jan 12 2024

not normally a big 60s rock fan but this wasn’t terrible. 3/5

The Clash by The Clash
Jan 13 2024

i’m familiar with the clash of course but I’ve never listened to their self-titled debut until now. I really enjoyed this album and you can really hear the conviction in the bands sound, a sign of the things to come from these guys.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jan 14 2024

again, not the biggest fan of 60s in general but I enjoyed the orchestral sound of this album quite a lot. the constant layering of vocal harmonies throughout the album was an enjoyable element however the overall pace of the album was still a bit too 60ish for my liking.

Jan 15 2024

I don’t enjoy a lot of hip hop but this is exactly the kind I do enjoy. Old school kinda sound, reminds me of Rum Committee a bit. good album will definetely listen again.

Homework by Daft Punk
Jan 16 2024

this doesn’t deserve to be on this list. literally nothing special

Green by R.E.M.
Jan 18 2024

Really enjoyed this. Kind of reminded me of the smiths at points. will be listening again for sure

New Forms by Roni Size
Jan 19 2024

Cool old drum and bass, did enjoy. Probably won't listen again though, the songs are all way too long and a bit repetitive. Would make a great background album for doing work or something

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jan 23 2024

Yeah influential album whatever. girl from impanena is pretty good, rest is meh i did not enjoy

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 24 2024

nothing special but enjoyable

Forever Changes by Love
Jan 25 2024

again not a huge 60s lover but this gets a 3 for the opening tracj

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jan 26 2024

Really enjoyed. Was not expecting this americana country esque sound but it was a welcome one.

Boston by Boston
Jan 28 2024

This album makes me feel like i’m listening to GTA V rock radio.

Jan 29 2024

I really enjoyed the sound that this album created. Sort of melancholic and existential. Would listen again.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jan 30 2024

wasn’t expecting this soulful of a voice from the lady on the album cover. mostly forgettable tracks though

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jan 31 2024

enjoyable but forgettable mostly

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 01 2024

great bluesy late 60s album. proud mary definetely a highlight but a lot of strong tracks. strong instrumentals and vocals

Station To Station by David Bowie
Feb 02 2024

got nothing out of this. the drugs rlly got to him on this one

Teen Dream by Beach House
Feb 03 2024

great vibe. silver soul makes me wanna give it a 4 but i don’t think I can.

Da Capo by Love
Feb 04 2024

average 60s album. why listen to this when the beatles exist.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Feb 05 2024

The best vocal performance i’ve heard so far on 1001 hands down. ‘Lilac Wine’ and ‘What more can I say?’ are the standouts for me for sure. Even the backing band is quite good as well.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 06 2024

another great vocal performance. The big band vibe and slowness meant all the tracks sounded a bit samey to me

Kid A by Radiohead
Feb 07 2024

This album is a testament to radiohead’s musical diversity and ability. after releasing two of the greatest alt rock albums ever, they decided to completely change their sound, and still released one of the greatest albums of the decade, and went on to remain influential. 5 for how impressive that is

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Feb 08 2024

above average rock and roll. sounds inspired though

Palo Congo by Sabu
Feb 09 2024

I DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO ANY MORE CONGOS

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 10 2024

High quality songwriting, singing and guitar playing. every song feels unique with a good mix of folk and rock.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Feb 11 2024

this album opened as a 5, but soon became a bit too beach boysey and experimental to stay that way. but still a very good album

21 by Adele
Feb 13 2024

to be fair to adele this album is good and produced a ridiculous amount of hits but it’s just mediocre pop in my opinion

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Feb 14 2024

mediocre folk with some EXTREMELY long songs, way too long. cool that this is the girl that sung on the battle of evermore (+1)

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Feb 15 2024

meh, too disorganised

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Feb 16 2024

This album is peak dream pop. Literal perfection from beginning to end and the album that began a long obsession with dream pop and shoegaze for me. If you can’t enjoy this album there’s something wrong with you.
