Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 04 2024

Good Album, hits are the hits. Anthony’s raps are a little strange for me but his hooks are always elite. Song where he sings are great.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jan 05 2024

This album is great. It’s a blueprint to indie and emo and a lot of pop music. Mixing kinda trash tho

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jan 08 2024

I get it. Women are cool and have feelings and desires too.

Jan 09 2024

Album is top heavy and that’s okay. The end isn’t as strong. This was probably their intro to the stadium songs. I thought the edge was supposed to play the shit out of guitars so it’s not the best U2 album to listen to as your first U2 album.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 10 2024

Short and sweet. Handful of songs are obvi classics. Paul and John can write cool songs

Jan 11 2024

Every song was cool except confused waitress. Idk much about the history of edm but this probably played a roll. They made this shit in 96 on Windows NT probably.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jan 12 2024

This was cool, nice to listen to other music from the 60s besides the Beatles. For as much acid as these guys took the subject matter still mostly revolved around getting the girl back. They also have nice voices.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jan 15 2024

Glam Rock is really great. Music is a lot better when you can be nasty and say what you want. It also helps to have David Bowie produce your sound.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 16 2024

Some early iteration of dad rock here. The guitar riffs were cool. Smoke on the water is just story telling.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 17 2024

Amy is real rap. But this album didn’t have the stand out tracks. Just cool to listen to

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 18 2024

Not his best work but it’s up there. Didn’t change the game quite yet but it was a breathe of fresh air. Especially for those who weren’t down with the rugged, braggadocio, get money fuck bitches era of rap at the time.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 19 2024

This was cool, not the most banger filled but it had some jams. Turns out everyone loves drugs. Mick Jagger has a great voice and Kieth Richard’s had some stand out moments but nothing epic.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jan 22 2024

I think this is the rock equivalent of big room edm. These guys are the modern day ELO. Loud instrument arrangements that make you want to dance. Not the best arcade fire album tho.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jan 23 2024

They hadn’t started taking risks yet.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jan 24 2024

This was refreshing. Newman clearly has his own style and unique voice and instrumental arrangements. He sounds like the bar piano player or western times sometimes.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jan 25 2024

Sounded very experimental and as if all the post punk bands that came out of the UK may have been influenced by this.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Jan 26 2024

I thought the album was full of bangers. Guitar solos were cool. Courtney Love managed. Better 90s rock.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 29 2024

Great sounds, not the biggest fan of the voice.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Jan 31 2024

Classic rock with a bit of swag I suppose.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Feb 01 2024

There’s something to appreciate if you look hard enough.

I See You by The xx
Feb 02 2024

Jaimie XX carries.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Feb 05 2024

Cool to see where sounds originate.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 07 2024

Jimbo. Cool psychedelic rock. He sounds like his peers and each song is a bit of a journey.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Feb 08 2024

Pharrell has to be discussed more in general music. Too bad rap isn’t taken seriously outside of the culture.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Feb 09 2024

Radio friendly,safe 90s music. Sweet guitars.

London Calling by The Clash
Feb 13 2024

Real rock music. Punk rock. Great frontman voice.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Feb 14 2024

This is missing some rap verses. Cool to hear sampling and beat making in other genres.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 16 2024

Great band great album.

Who's Next by The Who
Feb 20 2024

Some classic classic rock, Roger Daltrey has a great voice for a rock band.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Feb 22 2024

Crazy to think this was the hottest shit in America at some point.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Feb 27 2024

Solo traveler music. Nice to see other people were not traveling through middle earth at this time

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Feb 28 2024

This was okay. Really makes you listen for the individual instruments.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Feb 29 2024

This shit has some bangers. Imagine no one believing in you until they saw you live tho

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 04 2024
First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Mar 15 2024

One hit wonder but they’re in the 1001 best albums ever???

Metallica by Metallica
Mar 18 2024

Some songs are too long but this is great metal music.

Repeater by Fugazi
Mar 20 2024

Definitely is the precursor to hardcore punk bands. Missing some guitar distortion though.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Mar 25 2024

This is the album that broke her smh

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Mar 27 2024

Beyonce was destined to be Beyoncé

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 28 2024

Quiet album but it’s okay

21 by Adele
Apr 01 2024

Run my hometown

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Apr 05 2024

Reminded me of the shins? Production was pretty unique as I hadn’t heard a trip hop band before

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 15 2024

CCR

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
