Popular Reviews

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope

Everything about this was bad. It is 154 minutes of bad songs with very little listens, the cover art is weird and semi-offensive, like most of the music on here and lastly it is another British artist. It is hard to Cope with this Nope

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills

You could say I love this album while I am with it ... but I more than likely won't come back

Amnesiac by Radiohead

Radiohead - but Jazzy?

Hot Fuss by The Killers

3 Good songs, Mr. Brightside being a big one of course.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jan 09 2024

Not my thing at all ... I hated it

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jan 15 2024

I have heard of her but never heard her music, very jazzy and I honestly liked it.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jan 16 2024

John Coltrane is a king in the Jazz community and I know of this album's fame, but it is just not my thing.

Jan 25 2024

Groovy. I had never heard of them, not had my 72 year old Dad, but typical band from that era and I liked there more popular peers better

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jan 26 2024

I am back in the 80s at my Grandparent's house just waking up from my sleep over and having some horribly unhealthy breakfast in a cigarette smoke filled house with this playing on the stereo

Jan 29 2024

Absolute Classic

Feb 07 2024

Nope, nope, nope. I need a break from the obscure UK bands

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Feb 08 2024

Kentucky Rain is one of my favorite Elvis songs. This is a perfect example of why even 50 years after this album was made, Elvis is still beloved

Elephant by The White Stripes
Feb 12 2024
Beautiful Freak by Eels
Feb 15 2024

Surprised that I liked it. Much more mellow than I expected.

Feb 19 2024

Mar 08 2024

The Next Day by David Bowie
Mar 11 2024

I know it might be a sin, but I just don't care for Bowie outside a couple of his big hits

In Utero by Nirvana
Mar 12 2024

Not their best album, but it's still Nirvana

Nixon by Lambchop
Mar 13 2024

Another surprise

I don't know how I didn't know of this album, but it was great

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Apr 03 2024

Beautiful Voice, Boring Album

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears

One of the greatest albums of all time

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 08 2024

Apr 12 2024

May 15 2024

Made myself get through the first track and I couldn't get any further

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
May 21 2024

I don't know why, but this album feels like summer

Classic

I am tired of giving out ones, but who the heck is picking these albums!?!

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 06 2024

I love everything about this!!!

Phrenology by The Roots
Jun 07 2024

Every single song had an E next to it

Aja by Steely Dan
Jun 10 2024

Meh

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 11 2024

There is no bad blood with this album. it has style. So shake off that negativity and I wish you would take that blank space and fill in 5 stars!

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jun 12 2024

I like this Black Sabbath album. It is not nearly as hard as I thought it would be

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jun 13 2024

Better than I thought

White Ladder by David Gray
Jun 14 2024

Another nice surprise

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 17 2024

As a child of the late 80s these songs still dominated the Easy Listening station well into my late childhood. Such a great album and brings back memories of late night rainy drives in the back of the station wagon.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jun 19 2024

Just okay

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jun 24 2024

Couldn't make it past the first song

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jun 25 2024

The Queen of Soul. This album is pure gold!

White Light by Gene Clark
Jun 28 2024

Another surprise from the list! Mellow almost country feel.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jul 01 2024

Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, they all kind of sound the same. It was a time period that had a definitive sound.

Jul 02 2024

It's Queen .. just a little bit more boring than expected.

The La's by The La's
Jul 04 2024

They sound like the period they came from

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jul 05 2024

I don’t k ow any merging about KD Lang, but I love this album!

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jul 08 2024

I have heard of them and they are not my style of music, but I kind of agreed with every machine they were raging against.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jul 09 2024

A new worst ... Congrats!

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jul 11 2024

I am trying not to give out so many one stars, but I just couldn't get through the album. The sound itself is hard to listen to, while the structure isn't much better.

Jul 12 2024

Okay ... A little disappointed that the horse wasn't heard on the album itself and was just there for the album cover.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jul 15 2024

Nice background music

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jul 16 2024

It is Folksy, which I normally like, but somehow this seems boring and like it is trying too hard to be something it isn't. The only song I liked was covered by Pentatonix and they did a much better job.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 19 2024

This is one of the defining albums of a generation.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jul 22 2024

I wanted to like it, honest, but it is just so boring

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jul 23 2024

Smooth, Mellow, and a voice that set a standard.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 25 2024

This is a massive double album with some peaks and valleys along the way. I had never heard of this artist, but it was worth a listen

Signing Off by UB40
Jul 26 2024

Great Album. Minus one star for so much saxophone!

Ten by Pearl Jam
Aug 05 2024

Good Stuff

The Coral by The Coral
Aug 07 2024

This doesn't feel at all like 2002. More like the 1970s

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Aug 08 2024

Kinda Boring with super long tracks

Raw Power by The Stooges
Aug 12 2024

Not my thing

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 19 2024

If you like to hear women screaming ... This is for you

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 20 2024

I hope you like jammin' too!

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Aug 21 2024

What's That Noise? I don't know ... This album was not on Spotify

Stankonia by OutKast
Aug 23 2024

Sorry Miss Jackson, a 3 is the best I can do

Synchronicity by The Police
Aug 26 2024

A flagship Police Album

Moondance by Van Morrison
Aug 27 2024

Much more folksy than I thought it would be

Among The Living by Anthrax
Aug 28 2024

I don't like it - But I don't dislike it as much as some of the other junk on this list.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Aug 29 2024

This whole style of music is just not my thing,

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Sep 04 2024

I like it more than I thought I would. It had that early 1990s vibe to it

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Sep 05 2024

I liked it. That white girl got soul

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Sep 09 2024

Every Blondie song you know and love all on the same album ... Great for us, probably not so much for her. But one way or another, you are going to like this album.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 10 2024

This is great, and for a "debut" album ... it set the tone for generation to come

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Sep 11 2024

A little bit boring

Close To You by Carpenters
Sep 12 2024

One of my all-time favorite Altos. Karen has such a smooth and sultry voice! These are great songs and a very chill album.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Sep 13 2024

Meh!

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Sep 16 2024

ZZ Top is always fun

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Sep 18 2024

Based in the dumb name and the picture I thought I was going to hate this. But it was a very nice surprise. Rounded up and on the start for not being dumb.

Achtung Baby by U2
Sep 19 2024

Great album songs plus some of the best of the classic. Such a great album. I really like it! What is that? U2?

Let It Be by The Replacements
Sep 20 2024

It was okay

With The Beatles by Beatles
Sep 24 2024

The Beatles second release after a whirlwind first year. This is a major album and one that set the band up for it's meteoric rise. Great Album! Great covers!

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Sep 25 2024

If Hippies were hired to play at a Medieval Fair, this is probably the album they would make. Still, not anywhere near the bottom of the list

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Sep 26 2024

Boring

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 27 2024

Albums like this make me want to quit doing this journey. It's been a rough streak of boring albums

The Bends by Radiohead
Sep 30 2024

A solid album

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Oct 02 2024

Another surprise.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Oct 03 2024

As someone who doesn't like jazz all that much this is the "main stream" album that everyone can tolerate. Not a lot of improve and all over the place in the most random ways. Structured, Melodic, and fun,

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Oct 07 2024

One of the Beatles greatest albums .. but they are all good really

Moon Safari by Air
Oct 08 2024

Cet album n'est pas bon et il est en français. Pourquoi est-il même sur cette liste ?

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Oct 09 2024

Surprisingly enjoyable!

Pink Flag by Wire
Oct 10 2024

Better than expected. A Fun album

Microshift by Hookworms
Oct 11 2024

Not really into that style, but not bad

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Oct 14 2024

Great Album

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Oct 15 2024

Vulgar, Violent, and everything bad about rap in one album.

Suicide by Suicide
Oct 17 2024

A bad combination of both weird and boring

Debut by Björk
Oct 22 2024

Okay

I Against I by Bad Brains
Oct 23 2024

A fun album that was part of the shift from punk to heavy metal

Oct 25 2024

Is this the real life, or is it just fantasy? No, this is just one of the greatest albums of all time. I don't recall ever seeing a song with a billion plays on Spotify, much less 2.5 billion. Wow, just wow!

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Oct 29 2024

The Queen of the Southland and one of her most iconic albums.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Nov 01 2024

The album wasn't even on Spotify, but I found the title track and it ended a long streak of good albums ...

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 04 2024

I won't walk 500 miles for this album, but maybe a 5k would do?

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Nov 05 2024

Thelonious Monk is one of the legends of Jazz music. I remember playing his music in Jazz band in High School. I hated Jazz Band in High School.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Nov 06 2024

Are the siblings? Are they Exes? Either way, they make great music!

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 07 2024

Come On Eileen is one of the greatest songs of all time, due to that the album gets a 3. Without that song ... it's fun, but nothing you can't get at any pub

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Nov 11 2024

It's like listening to the same song over and over again for an hour.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Nov 12 2024

If Blondie and Heart had a baby ... it would be a rush

The Predator by Ice Cube
Nov 14 2024

Nope, absolutely not. This album personifies not only everything wrong with a genre, but with the culture that supports it.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Nov 15 2024

I didn't understand a word of it, but I felt like I was at some cafe in a clever but quirky movie and possibly wearing a beret.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Nov 18 2024

"Lust for Life" was used in every car commercial in the early 2000s, giving it familiarity. The album was fun, upbeat, and just okay.

Dookie by Green Day
Nov 19 2024

A great album. I wore this thing out in High School

Connected by Stereo MC's
Nov 20 2024

I remember them from 1992 ... Haven't thought about them since

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Nov 21 2024

Flash back to life, back to reality that this album is a one hit wonder ... a fun one but not enough to save a 2 star rating

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Nov 25 2024

Another solid and fun album from an artist that I have never heard of

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Nov 28 2024

Islamic Devotional Songs? I cannot believe this idol worshiping, pagan farce is on this list. If I had to torture someone for exactly 1.5 hours I would simply play them this album.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Nov 29 2024

It starts off strong and then losing steam in the middle. It has a strong feel of your friend's band from high school. You can't really find anything wrong with it, but you can't really find anything to praise either.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Dec 02 2024

So many great songs on one album. This is CCR's best record. I could play it over and over.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Dec 03 2024

Quintessential 90s Hip Hop ... just made in the 2000s

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Dec 04 2024

Heavy use of Synth and Trumpets. Definitely different, but I like different

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Dec 05 2024

First of all, It's Joni Mitchell. But, then it's also Joni Mitchell

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Dec 06 2024

Sounds like someone doing karaoke to The Doors.

The Band by The Band
Dec 09 2024

Fun and a little bit gritty of a sound. Good Southern Rock feel. Heck Yeah!

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Dec 10 2024

It is both electric and boogey oogey oogey!

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Dec 11 2024

This is rock music but it has elements of rhythm & blues, jazz, soul, Latin, and a little funk sprinkled in as well. I just might be a Steely Fan!

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Dec 12 2024

I was in a bit of a mood and I didn't hate this.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Dec 13 2024

I just don't get the love for Bob Dylan. The dude can't sing ... he just talks thymically. With that said, this is a classic album and there are well written songs on it and for that he gets a 3

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Dec 16 2024

Not sure if I was just in the right mood, but I actually enjoyed this album

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Dec 17 2024

I mean ... C'mon, it's Stevie Wonder! None of my "favorites" were on this album, so it gets a 3, but it was still enjoyable.

Dec 18 2024

This what my grandparents house sounded like back in the early 80s. There are times I miss this kind of country, simple, fun, and catchy. Buck Owens in a legend and this album gets all the stars

Truth by Jeff Beck
Dec 19 2024

Good Guitar, Rod Stewart singing and yet pretty bland overall. It gets a solid Meh

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Dec 20 2024

Today's album is weird. It's like the music in the que while in line for some educational ride at EPCOT

Boston by Boston
Dec 23 2024

Classic album that outside of "more than a feeling" is a bit meh

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Dec 24 2024

Spotify only had 4 of the tracks off this album available, but "but the boys are back in town" and "Still in love with you" classics. Can't give it more than 3 with most of the album missing though.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Dec 27 2024

You know those scenes in the 70s and 80s Disney movies like Robinhood where they are just running around or fighting a slapstick type battle ... This is probably the band that was playing the back ground music. Lucky for them, I love Disney's Robinhood.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 31 2024

This massive album is solid. It is so diverse the bigness isn't a detriment.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jan 01 2025

If you’re 14 and hate your stepdad, this may be the album for you. The lyrics are meant for angsty teenagers. But I'm neither angsty or a teenager. I will never been listening to this again.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jan 02 2025

Apparently the dude was in a bad accident right before he made the album and the album is a champion of overcoming struggle and the first platinum album from a paraplegic. But it sounds like an album that was made by a paraplegic. "Sea Song" feels like he was recreating the accident that paralyzed him.

Guero by Beck
Jan 03 2025

It was okay ...

Jan 06 2025

I am so sorry ... I know this is one of the most iconic albums of all time and I was really excited to listen to it, honest, and I now I am supposed to excitedly give it 5 stars ... But ... best I can do is a 4

The Visitors by ABBA
Jan 08 2025

It's Abba along with Ikea, and the Chef make up some of our favorite friends from Sweden. So to them I So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me!

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Jan 09 2025

If Maria Von Trapp was unable to escape to Switzerland and forced to tour with the family and then gave all the kids a different instrument and immediately set out to record an album, this is probably what it would sound like. With that said, it is an important album and East Germany must have really sucked.

Jan 10 2025

I couldn't even get through the first song. Tupac was a horrible human being and this album reflects that.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jan 13 2025

How are there two of their albums on this list?

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jan 14 2025

Classic album that we all grew up listening to. This album is a solid seven. But don't you ever ask why, if I told you, you would cry. So just look at the score and smile ...

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jan 15 2025

Everything a person hates in one album, a super slow build and it takes 20 seconds to hear anything and I check the volume and output like 5 times before it finally gets going. Then you have a 20 minute song that sounds like you are having a panic attack during the Mainstreet Electrical Parade at the Magic Kingdom. Lastly, an intentional omittance of the oxford comma. The only think I like about this Album is the super cool cover art. A tank Armadillo? Yes please! Bonus Star as a "Tank you" for that.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Jan 16 2025

It started off pretty bad and then they started singing in French ...

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Jan 17 2025

It's a 2 for me not horrible, I listened to the whole thing while focusing on a work project and it made for decent background noise, but it wasn't enough to actually capture my attention.

Jan 19 2025

This is the score to a movie. Not the Soundtrack, but the score. As a band nerd I appreciate scores and the musicality of creating an experience with the right music, but this isn't exactly a John Williams masterpiece and instead had an entire song of alternating quarter notes. Still not the worst thing I've heard on this list though.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 20 2025

This is a high 3 (perhaps 3 and half) for me. It wasn't boring, it came out the gate swinging, but it also didn't have that song that got you fired up.

Tommy by The Who
Jan 21 2025

This Rock Opera album is a classic. It is a heartbreaking story of Tommy growing up to be a community leader. The story telling, music, and overall package is genius and entertaining.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jan 22 2025

Another fun album with a good variety of style and music. I am still a Steely Fan!

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jan 23 2025

It's been a long time since I haven't been able to make it through an album, but I am struggling on this one. For some weird reason ... forcing my self to listen to it is actually making me mad. It really does sound like an album someone wrote over a period of time as they slowly descended into madness.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jan 24 2025

This is one of the greatest live albums off all time. Do you hear a train a comin'? No, that is just the steady tones of Johnny Cash. This album is a piece of America herself!

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jan 25 2025

This is named appropriately because any kind of pleasure from this album is completely unknown. Seriously, why are there so many British Albums on this list? We haven't cared about anything they do since 1776!

Harvest by Neil Young
Jan 26 2025

I really wanted to not like this album because of Neil young's opinions of the South, but I do like it. So it gets a one star deduction for Antebellum

Infected by The The
Jan 27 2025

What the heck just happened? This album is infected with cringey music. Seriously, why are there so many British Albums on this list? We haven't cared about anything they do since 1776!

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jan 28 2025

I really don't want to like Neil and I docked his last album one star for being a jerk, but fair is fair and this deserves 4 stars.

Parklife by Blur
Jan 30 2025

I swear, somebody who was in an early nineties British Rock Band must have been on the selection committee!! It's not bad, but it all sounds the same!

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jan 31 2025

It's all in Senegalese ... I have no clue what is going on ... But it sounds like Animal Kingdom.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Feb 01 2025

We just cannot seem to get over this English Rock bands can we? Lyla is obviously a great song, but it seems weird to have a compilation album on this list. Still .. I was able to get through the whole thing and it was mildly enjoyable.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 03 2025

Love this. But, man I don't like Neil Young

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 04 2025

I can call this album great, fun, and important due to it's cross cultural significance ... and you can call me Al!

Crazysexycool by TLC
Feb 05 2025

This was the album that all the white girls suburban who thought they were hood played in High School. Waterfalls is a great song and creep was playing everywhere .. outside of that it is more nostalgia than actually good. Still, when I saw the cover I was "automatic 5" and it lost a star after actually listening to the whole thing.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Feb 06 2025

This is such a foundational album that inspired so many great artist afterwards. It was way ahead of it's time. I found my thrill listening to this classic.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Feb 07 2025

This album was fun. It was good background music as I was trying to get stuff done at work. It is great to have an album from the Big Band Era represented on this list.

Feb 08 2025

In a nation divided by so many things only one thing can bring us all together … we ALL want the funk.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Feb 10 2025

This was a fun album that had only the second Billion + played song I've seen so far on Spotify (Thanks Stranger Things), overall a fun album that I was excited to listen to.

Who's Next by The Who
Feb 11 2025

A great album filled with absolute monster songs!

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 12 2025

A great album by a great band. Every song was familiar and enjoyable.

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 13 2025

It was much better than I thought it would be. This is why I like this project, you hear new artist and albums you never knew about.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Feb 14 2025

The great Stevie Wonder with TWO major hits on this album. I enjoyed rocking out to "Superstition", but the other tracks were not nearly up to par with it and "You are the Sunshine.". Still solid album, fun songs, great memories - just get rid of those super repetitive tracks where the girls just repeat what you say over and over.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Feb 15 2025

Another band I had never heard of but overall enjoyed.

Tago Mago by Can
Feb 16 2025

I got half way through and couldn't do it anymore.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Feb 17 2025

Another Billion plays song in "Fast Car". A Great voice, great album, and I really enjoyed it.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 18 2025

This was the Summer Playlist while sitting at the beach. A Classic!

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Feb 19 2025

I am surprised by this album, I enjoyed it and it is a poster child of the early 90s grunge movement.

1977 by Ash
Feb 20 2025

It came out of the gate swinging and I was like "Finally! A good British Rock band" ... and then just like every thing else British whether empires or dental care, they just couldn't keep up with it

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Feb 21 2025

This is my third Young album (fourth if you count C, S, N, & Y). I get it, the guy makes a good album, this one is no exception, but C'mon ... that's a lot. I wonder if Neil Young is on the selection committee

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 22 2025

I had a fever and for all these years I thought the cure was more cowbell. But it turns out this album proved that theory wrong. In this case it was as easy as turning off the 56 minutes of dubstep.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Feb 23 2025

The first 7 tracks were classic Byrds sounding tracks and then it seems like they took eight miles high literally during the break and came back as a psychedelia band. Luckily, I am down for both sounds.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Feb 25 2025

This album is an experience, an adventure. It's jazz, it's mariachi, it's Spanish style guitar, and it's fantastic. I can literally see myself one a journey and each song is another stop on the itinerary. It is so different and exactly the kind of thing I hoped to find!

Feb 26 2025

If you are getting double nickels on the dime then you are breaking even... which is probably what this band is hoping for on this album. But unfortunately this album is boring and all the songs sound the same.

Feb 27 2025

This has the 5th Billion Play (1.7B) with "In Da Club" and "P.I.M.P" at over 800k. I understand it being her birthday and we gonna celebrate because you her pimp, but outside of that I can see why his name is 50 cent, because this album ain't worth half a buck

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Feb 28 2025

Little Earthquakes isn't exactly world changing, but it was ground breaking at the time. Not great, but definitely enough to move the scale.

xx by The xx
Mar 01 2025

Had never heard of them and immediately wanted to not like them because they were English, but I was pleasantly surprised. Has a chill vibe to it.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Mar 02 2025

What in the Hippie Medieval Fair is goin on here? A Kazoo, a Sitar, and a Digeridoo? I don't know what is happening, I just know I don't like it!

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 03 2025

This album was so far ahead of it's time and change the rock world forever. Can you imagine hearing this for the first time in a climate filled with Beatles, Monkees, and Supremes

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 04 2025

A fun album and a definite classic!

Risque by CHIC
Mar 05 2025

Disco is not dead so long as it lives in the hearts of men!

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Mar 06 2025

Not only is it English, live.... but it also sounds like the Main Street Electrical Parade

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 07 2025

You can drive your car for a long time and won't find too many albums better than this in [your] life

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Mar 08 2025

Dave Grohl started Fighting Foo like a boss on this album all by himself

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Mar 09 2025

Two of Aerosmiths biggest songs were on this album. It was overall fun and the sound that we know and expect.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Mar 10 2025

Tiny Dancer is an amazing song and the album overall is great ... but how can and English man ever write a song attacking the Americans for their treatment of the Indians when they conquered over half the world ... almost lost a star for that one song.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Mar 11 2025

Surprised by this album. It tackled a heavy subject matter (depression) in a light manner. Relaxing and enjoyable album.

Closer by Joy Division
Mar 12 2025

and after a solid run we are back to the English Rock bands that all sounds exactly the same. Even the songs on the album all seem to just run together. No more British Rock! No More British Rock!

Rapture by Anita Baker
Mar 13 2025

Yes! A Perfect Album for a rainy day in the office. Smooth, Crip, and you can feel the emptions in the music. It might have caught me on the right day but ... yeah

Dog Man Star by Suede
Mar 14 2025

I think I have reached my breaking point - I can't take it any more. If there is one more "English Alternative" Album on here that all sound like the same boring drivel ... I don't know .. But, ugh ... Why do they keep doing this to me?

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 15 2025

Classic Santana. Great guitar player and fun album!

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Mar 16 2025

I am definitely not into this beat-nik type thing, but I get it and the influence the movement had. Just a reminder kids, drugs are bad!

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Mar 17 2025

Maybe all those stranger things nerds were on to something…

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 18 2025

We have our 6th 1 Billion plays (Sparks) and second 2 Billion plays (Yellow) by Coldplay. A formative band for us Millennials that still sets that melancholy mood when we are feeling not quite emo, but pretty darn close.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Mar 19 2025

Dad Rock at it's finest. There are some amazing songs on this album and Peter is one of the most influential guitarist. Still, overall a tad boring ...

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Mar 20 2025

I was trying, I honestly was ... and then the dude in the background started chanting, that is where I draw the line!

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Mar 21 2025

Only had one track on Spotify ... but that was enough! This was back when rap was fun!

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Mar 22 2025

There are great albums ... and then there are a few an experience. This is both!

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Mar 26 2025

Another British Album. Not only do they all sound the same but they all seem like they are forever long. Apparently Viva Hate means a defiant or ironic embrace of negativity and the emotions associated with it, particularly grief and loss. I am definitely negatively embracing the lost of 40 minutes on this album.

Woodface by Crowded House
Mar 27 2025

Better than expected.

Queen II by Queen
Mar 28 2025

Wow ... This Queen album is uhhh ... not Queen-like You still have the tight harmonies and strong lead vocals, and it isn't bad ... it just isn't the Power Rock ballads that we all know and love Like ... I don't feel running outside and punching somebody in the face right now and I don't know how to process that

Mar 29 2025

It really isn't fair to all the other albums out there. Three of Skynyrd's best songs all on one album! I might ask the kids to play Freebird at my funeral! Heck yeah ...

Mar 30 2025

When a sixties rock band makes a better "country western" album than any country band today ...

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Mar 31 2025

First four songs are a 5! Rest of Album is a 3! 17 is a 1 - what the heck pedo? That averages out to a 3

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Apr 01 2025

Like everything British, the UK version leaves off the Billion play song "Paint It Black" and this is the one that the website defaulted to on Spotify ... lucky for the rating I went and found the American Release ... and that song alone, plus dropping a few of the "meh" songs upgrades this album significantly

Drunk by Thundercat
Apr 02 2025

"This is the moment Lion-O has been preparing me for my whole life... The ThunderCats have been our friends for as long as we can remember... They have stuck with us through good times and bad, helping make us who we are today... It's time we repaid their friendship. Let this be a day that will be sung about by our people for ages to come!"

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Apr 03 2025

This is a band I had never heard of before with a full string section and I am pretty sure I heard a French Horn. I feel like it is a bit of the Cranberries meets Belle and Sebastian but whatever it is ... I like it!

Faith by George Michael
Apr 04 2025

"Wow! This album is really provocative ... I can't believe that little me was allowed to listen to this?!? But, Wham! It really is a fun album."

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Apr 05 2025

The Band that I never knew that I knew. Recognized several tracks on this album including a few from them that Spotify decided to play after. Folksy, Relaxing, and surprisingly enjoyable.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Apr 06 2025

The guitar riffs were fun as were the drums ... I really don't want to hurt my 90s decade rating any further ... Ugh!

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Apr 07 2025

One of the best uses of a saw outside of a Halloween CD I have ever heard .. with that said "Happy Ending" is super eerie. But overall it was tolerable. As previously stated, I am trying to be kind to the 90s.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Apr 09 2025

Play that funky music White Boys!!

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Apr 10 2025

I always thought Grateful Dead was a rock band ... This album was a little bit dead

All Directions by The Temptations
Apr 11 2025

When 1/3 of your album is one song, it better be a good one. Luckily it is!

Green by R.E.M.
Apr 12 2025

I am going to take a stand and say I have always like this album and the "sound" of REM.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Apr 14 2025

I liked it. An artist I had never heard of but a combination of Sheryl Crow and Linda Ronstadt.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Apr 15 2025

Keep this away from the microwave, because this is pure metal! A masterclass in the genre. I don't know how I grew up in the 80s and had never heard this album.

Apr 16 2025

This album is a single with bonus tracks. But it is one of my favorite songs of all time ... So 5 stars!

Apr 17 2025

What does cheese, lettuce, old legal documents, Helmut Strebl, and this album have in common? Some serious shreds!

Ramones by Ramones
Apr 18 2025

"Ay, oh, let's go! Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh! Oy, oy, oy!" This is fun!!

Apr 19 2025

Would have loved to have seen this live. Such energy, such a cutting-edge artist, and so much future work and sound is based off of this. Sadly, I probably would have been given a really hard time and I told I don't belong there.

John Prine by John Prine
Apr 21 2025

Pure Poetic Story Telling with a twang and a steel guitar!

Apr 22 2025

Honestly, this whole album was kinda mid. Nothing bad about it, two songs approaching a billion plays, likeable, but kinda all sounds the same.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Apr 24 2025

It's like a three and a half hour Tom Cruse scene where he just takes off and is being chased by various things.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Apr 25 2025

Didn't love any of the songs. Did hate a few, so title is half accurate.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 26 2025

Our 7th Billion Play song with "Under the Bridge". This album was hugely influential and fun.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Apr 27 2025

Probably could have convinced me to give this a three, but they are British ...

The Slider by T. Rex
Apr 28 2025

This album was fun!

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 29 2025

Wow! This album was a journey through the everyday lives of America. Great storytelling

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 30 2025

You know that kid that looks down at their feet and mumbles incoherently when they force themselves to speak to you? Now make them the singer for a really good band ...

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 01 2025

"Come Together" to kick it off followed by "Something" right out the gate? That alone is already a 5 right there!! But then you get so much more. I wish I could give it higher than a 5.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
May 02 2025

You know when you get stuck/lost on a video game level and the soundtrack just loops? Yeah… This album was the equivalent of a long drive on the autobahn for someone who doesn’t like driving.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
May 03 2025

This sounds like a long car ride late a night falling asleep sprawled out in the back of Grandma's car in the 1980s

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
May 04 2025

I love seeing some Reggae songs on this. Always fun and jammin'.

Wild Gift by X
May 05 2025

I have never heard of them and that is unfortunate because this was fun and surprisingly deep for a punk album.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
May 06 2025

Another great album by the boss. Not someone I ever listened to, but I see the appeal. However, four albums is a lot!

Street Signs by Ozomatli
May 07 2025

I feel like this album was listed for diversity, but maybe all those English Rock bands aren't so bad afterall.

The Yes Album by Yes
May 08 2025

Wow, did that last comment come back to bite me super quick.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
May 09 2025

Fun!! Band Nerds meet some of the biggest hits of all time with an extra heapin' helpin' of Bongo on every track. I love it!

London Calling by The Clash
May 10 2025

This a big album but it is just okay.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
May 11 2025

What the heck is this? Tom should have waited a little longer!

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
May 12 2025

This was a roller coaster. I hated it and almost stopped listening out the gate and then by Chicken Dog I was at a 3, then it fell back off. Half the songs sounds like someone is getting tortured back stage.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
May 13 2025

I am a big fan of Emo Rock, but in the end, it doesn't really matter

Arrival by ABBA
May 14 2025

Other 9th Billion play song in "Dancing Queen. This is a classic and these songs play regularly in my house.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
May 15 2025

A big Band Album! With one that inspired some of the best ska songs later? Yes please!

Transformer by Lou Reed
May 17 2025

"And the colored girls say Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo [you think this album is kinda bad]?"

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
May 18 2025

This is great! I am not the biggest fan of the blues, but I am fan of this.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
May 19 2025

You Gotta Fight For Your Right To a 5 ... and they did just that

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
May 20 2025

We want the funk ... but despite the name this didn't deliver. It was much more of a rock album which still can get you in the groove. But, we wanted the funk

GREY Area by Little Simz
May 22 2025

There is absolutely no grey area on this one .. it is straight up nope!

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
May 23 2025

I don't fee this is their best album, but it is still fun!

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
May 24 2025

It was okay. It definitely doesn't match the hype

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
May 28 2025

Enough with the British Rock Bands!! Seriously guys, knock it off. They were just meh

Pyromania by Def Leppard
May 29 2025

This is what the eighties sounds like. A Classic Album and a fun listen,

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
May 30 2025

This is the album for sitting in the rain staring out the window spiral into a fit of depression.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
May 31 2025

Solid Album with some familiar tracks

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Jun 01 2025

Dude is not only Canadian ... but he sings a song in French!

Kenya by Machito
Jun 02 2025

No!

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jun 04 2025

This teen has really boring and somewhat mood dream sequence

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jun 05 2025

I guess I am the idiot for listening to this whole thing ..

Jun 06 2025

I guess this was supposed to the be album that actually killed you on the list of albums to hear before you die?

Django Django by Django Django
Jun 08 2025

It was good. It just seemed to never end ...

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jun 09 2025

Another obscure British album that is just meh

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 10 2025

Forget Iran, we should just bomb the heck out of every recording studio in the UK and end this decades long war on music

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jun 11 2025

This was an enjoyable album, a nice surprise. Who knew there was so much more outside of "Brown Eyed Girl"

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jun 12 2025

In true Bowie fashion there are a couple of fun songs mixed with some rather average stuff. I don't get why he is so popular

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jun 17 2025

A classic album and a fitting tribute to Brian Wilson!

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jun 19 2025

I'd say they were playing more with wet stick than actual fire ...

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jun 20 2025

It's not horrible, I have had waaay worse .... it is just the same album over and over and over again. Different band names, same country ... No wonder they are all so dull, miserable, and have horrible humor.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jun 21 2025

Ooooh the mumbling and lines are from the movie that doesn't exist! I couldn't do it. It is the first one in a long time I couldn't finish

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 22 2025

There is just something about the soothing sounds and harmonies of S&G. This isn't their best album, but a generational classic none-the-less

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jun 23 2025

I feel like I am driving down some narrow road in a European city by a river falling in love with some quirky and cute well dressed girl that I had only met a few days earlier ...

Jun 24 2025

What is worse than all British rock bands on this list? A white British guy rapping

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Jun 25 2025

There were very few holes in this album. This sounds like the late nineties and smells a little bit like teen ... angst?

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 26 2025

I like REM, but this one was pretty mid.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jun 27 2025

A fun album with a little bit on funk.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Jun 30 2025

You know those people during the American Revolution who wanted to be like the British and remain under the crown? This is the American band equivalent…

Jul 02 2025

I see a lot of reviews comparing the Kinks to the Beatles, but the difference is that the later had good songs on their albums.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jul 03 2025

Most of this album is a light version of the songs we know so well from them.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jul 05 2025

Two Billion play songs on the same album (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Time After Time.) This album was so impactful on the 80s and beyond,

The Specials by The Specials
Jul 07 2025

SKA!!! This is the beginning of SKA and for that we are all eternally grateful!

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jul 08 2025

¡Qué sorpresa tan divertida! Le di una oportunidad y me alegro de haberlo hecho.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jul 09 2025

I was really ready to hate this ... but that is why we listen BEFORE we judge.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jul 11 2025

Help! I am being assaulted! The modern dance is apparently a beat-down

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Jul 12 2025

Could we please have all the members of the band play the same song at the same time?!?

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jul 13 2025

It started off so well and descended into "noise"

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jul 14 2025

Everything going okay, kinda getting into the groove, then plays "Next" ... makes awkward face and sheepishly ends the album ...

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Jul 15 2025

When my girls were little we took them to this Butterfly Festival at a nature preserve. You know very hippyish. There was this little old lady there singing on stage and it had this ethereal sound that filled the trees ... this sounds like that!

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jul 16 2025

It was a fun album!

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Jul 17 2025

Enjoyableand relaxed

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jul 18 2025

I mean, it was the 80s ... and it was the weird part of the 80s

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jul 19 2025

Remember when we beat those arrogant Iceland kids in Mighty Ducks 2? Yeah, even with Bjork, they lose again!

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jul 20 2025

I like the blues, I like rock, and I like quite a few Rolling Stones songs, but this album, while okay, didn't meet the hype.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jul 21 2025

It was a fun album, something I never would have ever even known about. However the super long tracks at the end seemed to go on forever

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jul 22 2025

I never knew what Rock really needed was more flute ...

Nowhere by Ride
Jul 23 2025

Another album that was a wee bit too long. Solid 4 drops down to a high 3 because I eventually became over it".

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Jul 24 2025

Stop with these British hacks! Please, I am not going to make it to the end of this list!!

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jul 25 2025

Good Album ... even better fashion designer. Did you see how the dress looked like it was on fire? The other one turned into a Mocking Jay! I wonder what happened to him after the Quarter Quell?

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 26 2025

That was a good surprise!

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Aug 01 2025

Imagine being able to turn one hit song into a two hour live album? That is amazing feat of producing, but a fairly boring album

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Aug 02 2025

Slowly backs away while avoiding direct eye contact ...

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Aug 03 2025

Gonna fire up this bad boy later and run through some ear candy!!

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Aug 04 2025

I really kept waiting for the "Next Nirvana" part to show up, but it wasn't even Nirvana on Temu

OK by Talvin Singh
Aug 05 2025

You know when you watch one of those chase scenes in a movie that takes place somewhere in Asia and it is trying to be hip and get you pump while also trying to be Asian? Now imagine that for an hour

Vespertine by Björk
Aug 07 2025

Today my daughter went to some fancy hair salon that was playing weird music ... this sounds like that music.

Rio by Duran Duran
Aug 08 2025

The bass, the synth, the 80s oozing out of every beat. I don't know how hungry wolves are, but this album left me completely satisfied!

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Aug 09 2025

This was a journey. At the start of "Overture" I almost just skipped the whole album, but I hung on and then googled if the lead singer was Shawn Mullins, he isn't but I still like it

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Aug 10 2025

No!

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Aug 11 2025

You could say I love this album while I am with it ... but I more than likely won't come back

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Aug 12 2025

I had never listened to a Led Zepplin album before, but I am glad I did. This was a massive double album and not a bad song on it.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Aug 13 2025

I am not sure what to make of this, one minute it was a one, next it was a four, so let's just settle at a two

Vivid by Living Colour
Aug 14 2025

My favorite color is yellow

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 15 2025

This is both weird and beautiful as a struggle with grief often is. It is real, raw, and an experience and I honestly don't know how to rate it.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Aug 16 2025

I mean ... Well ... It's not awful ...

Headquarters by The Monkees
Aug 18 2025

My Dad loved the "fake band" and I grew up watching them on Nick at Night and even saw Davey Jones at the flower power series at EPCOT in the early 2000s

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Aug 19 2025

What a pretentious piece of crap. He pissed me off just from the titles of the songs ... then it got even worse when I tried to listen.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Aug 20 2025

Better than expected. I am a sucker for 90s Hip Hop

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Aug 21 2025

It wasn't terrible ...

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Aug 23 2025

I wanted to hate this but I didn't

Aug 25 2025

You know at EPCOT's Journey to the Imagination where there is that floor and you step on a different tile and it plays a different instrument sounds? It is designed to all play together and flow in the same general direction but it is just a complete hodge podge of everything ... This is an hour long album of that

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Aug 26 2025

This makes me want a taco real bad

Aug 27 2025

Goes to get the cardboard I keep in the back of my car for just this occasion. Finally, a Breakdance battle in the Walmart parking lot ... Hit it DJ!

Timeless by Goldie
Aug 28 2025

It's the Sonic the Hedgehog video game soundtrack ... Not really ... but same vibe

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Aug 29 2025

It started off great .. I was like heck yeah a female lead punk band ... Awesome ... But maybe it just went on way too long ...

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Aug 30 2025

We have some very familiar songs from the 60s that are all great, but then you get all these instrumental pieces, Motown covers, and even a little soul all of which might be even more fun!

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Aug 31 2025

I got pregnant just listening to this album!

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Sep 01 2025

Boom, Wicka, Wicka, Boom, Boom ... Drugs are bad!

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Sep 02 2025

If this music did have children they are probably the weird ones that sit by themselves in the corner with the cat ear shaped headphones

Suede by Suede
Sep 03 2025

Everything about this was meh

Revolver by Beatles
Sep 04 2025

Father McKenzie would agree that this is a 5 star album. The album that made the Beatles the biggest band ever. Plus, Yellow Submarine is fun, stop hating on it

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Sep 05 2025

The very first song has the singer moaning the line "You are unbearable, run away" ... so I did!

LP1 by FKA twigs
Sep 07 2025

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. It's like the music playing in that trendy store in the mall ... mixed with some Taylor Swift vibes

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Sep 08 2025

Imagine watching an ASMR video while your toddler was running around the house munching on things and playing with various noise making toys ...

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Sep 11 2025

I couldn't get through the first song. This is horrible, not in a musical sense, but in content, then I saw they were British and it all made sense.

Sep 13 2025

If the album name and cover art didn't give it away, the opening track does ...

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Sep 14 2025

The first 3 tracks were relaxing ... almost zen. The next 3 erased any peaceful feelings

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Sep 16 2025

What is worse than the elicit, gansta style rap ... that filthiness being sung by woman. However Back in the Day is what salvaged this album for a 2

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Sep 17 2025

This was fun! After all the 80s Hair Bands retire or go on reunion tours, this group decided to "Land" on the scene brining back the genre

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Sep 18 2025

This is early blues at it's finest. A great album!

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Sep 19 2025

This felt like playing SimCity3000. IYKYK

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Sep 20 2025

Although I have heard "Riders on the Storm" I have never really listened to the Doors before. It was fun, bluesy, and I can see why they had the impact they did.

The Doors by The Doors
Sep 21 2025

Back to Back and doesn't disappoint

Odessa by Bee Gees
Sep 22 2025

The Bee Gees Pre-Disco feels just like another 60s band. I never thought I would think that disco actually made something better ...

Sep 25 2025

I can see the popularity for it's stated purpose; calm, peaceful, ambient airport music. But, For the purpose of this list, I can't see anyone saying "Man, I want to go to the airport and hang out all day so I can listen to the music"

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Sep 26 2025

It really does all sound the same sometimes, doesn't it? Not bad, not good ... just eh

B-52's by The B-52's
Sep 27 2025

There were several major musical themes of the 80s. The Big Hair Rock Bands, The Metal, Punk, Disco, Pop and then there was the "weird / quirky" type stuff. A B52 album that doesn't have "love shack" is definitely an interesting choice

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 28 2025

This is appropriately named ...

Back In Black by AC/DC
Sep 29 2025

It's been a while since we had a billion play song and here we have two. 45 years later this album is still rockin' and everyone knows at least one song from it

Copper Blue by Sugar
Sep 30 2025

Ever heard of the 90s Alt band Sugar? I hadn't ... but I like it ... This is exactly the kind of stuff I was really into back in the day!

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Oct 02 2025

Mile Davis is a legend and this album is staple. I don't like a lot of jazz, but this album is perfect for the background or chillin'

Oct 03 2025

I get the hype. This was a folksy / bluesy album that defined a generation and a movement

Leftism by Leftfield
Oct 04 2025

It was okay ... But it is EDM and British ... so 2 stars

I See You by The xx
Oct 05 2025

I thought it was a really long first song and then I realized it was the whole album. Boring and British ...

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Oct 10 2025

No, nope, no way, nu uh, absolutely not ... Even the album cover is scary!

Oct 12 2025

This was everywhere when it came out and is one of the defining albums of the later 90s, without the "Extra" songs this would be a 3, thankfully those two tracks push it over the line for a 4.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Oct 13 2025

Everything about this was bad. It is 154 minutes of bad songs with very little listens, the cover art is weird and semi-offensive, like most of the music on here and lastly it is another British artist. It is hard to Cope with this Nope

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Oct 15 2025

3 Chapters, 3 hours, 3 Stars

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Oct 16 2025

All this time I misunderstood the purpose of this list. They are giving us a 1001 that we must listen to in order to actually be killed. There ae some great mixed in here to keep you hooked, but all this British stuff is the real lethal mix. Just mindlessly putting us into a irreversible stupor.

Traffic by Traffic
Oct 18 2025

Another English Rock Band, ugh, but they were actually pretty enjoyable ... I didn't even realize they were Brits until I read the reviews.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Oct 19 2025

Ah Yes, the beginning of the fall of the American Suburb. I remember when some of the stores in our popular suburban mall started playing this album. That mall is now shuttered because the culture shifted and it became unsafe. Thanks Dre!

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Oct 20 2025

I am absolutely Louvin this! Every choir student should have to listen to this. A master class on tight harmonies and diction.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Oct 21 2025

I like Kate Bush. I like the 80s. I do not like this.

The Score by Fugees
Oct 22 2025

An all time great album! Such a big part of growing up. I know the most two familiar songs on this album are covers, but wow!

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Oct 23 2025

It's like an 80s girl band ... but in 1999

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Oct 24 2025

It was okay ... It kinda all sounded the same

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Oct 25 2025

This was pretty fun ... and bagpipes in a rock song? Heck Yes!

Kimono My House by Sparks
Oct 26 2025

What the heck did I just listen to?

Although I am not a Bob Dylan fan, this is a fantastic album that is well written and it is great to see a man with a major speech impediment be able to have such fanfare!

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Oct 28 2025

<Pulls out spray bottle> No! Bad! Stop It!

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Oct 30 2025

Just like the real war on drugs it sounds okay but there really isn't much to it.

Nov 01 2025

Sexist, Racist, Crude, and all the other things. How did this guy build a network TV acting career?

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Nov 02 2025

When I saw the band's name I though this was either going to be really good or really bad with absolutely no chance for a middle. I was right!

The Cars by The Cars
Nov 04 2025

The Good Time definitely rolled!

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 05 2025

Absolutely Fantastic and so appropriate getting this right after Halloween. There will definitely be some Smashing Pumpkins of every kind!

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Nov 06 2025

Musical Genius spiraling into madness and kicked out of one of the biggest bands ever makes a solo album called "The Madcap Laughs", super awesome concept. but pretty rough product.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Nov 07 2025

This is what the 60s sounds like!

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 08 2025

This fire is absolutely lit!

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Nov 12 2025

This is rock and roll. Bunch of dudes just playing great music and rockin' out.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Nov 13 2025

This what the turn of the century sounded like. It is fun, in a way classic, and still holds up well.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Nov 15 2025

I was in mall yesterday and 3 different trendy stores had music that sounded just like this.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Nov 16 2025

This was great. I enjoyed the richness and diversity in the song set and the quality of production.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Nov 17 2025

I feel this would be a good album for when you are working out. It sounds a bit like the "inspirational sequence" in an 80s movie ...

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Nov 19 2025

Fun classic rock album. It was still great even without any smoke on the water.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Nov 20 2025

No! Why?

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Nov 21 2025

When someone calls themselves Sensational, they probably aren't.

Blur by Blur
Nov 22 2025

Another Billion play song with "Song #2", but outside of that the rest really is just a blur.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 24 2025

Such a great album. Every single song is a hit!

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Nov 26 2025

90s hip hop is fun but this is the beginning of the shift to gansta rap so, one star deduction for content

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Nov 28 2025

I saw the album cover heard the first few notes and was going to turn it off, but I just couldn't. I kept saying "The next song is the last one" all the way to the end.

Nov 29 2025

I like English History and Mythology as much as the next guy (Maybe even slightly more) and I was really excited when I saw Genesis ... But this right here ...

Ctrl by SZA
Nov 30 2025

No! Girl, put on some clothes and find some self respect.

Faust IV by Faust
Dec 01 2025

Germans are weird

Sound Affects by The Jam
Dec 04 2025

It was okay, especially for a British Band

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Dec 05 2025

I don't think I have ever been angry enough to relate to this. Hurt is a great song and saved the score even if Johnny did it better

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Dec 06 2025

I am torn on this one. So it's gets a 3, right in the middle

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Dec 07 2025

I can't understand a word they say and have no clue what is going on, but I like it!

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Dec 08 2025

Wowzers! This is why I am doing this list! So powerful.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Dec 09 2025

Aptly named, there are strange things in the basement

Music by Madonna
Dec 10 2025

I remember when this came out and I thought this was the end of her career. I was right

Play by Moby
Dec 12 2025

Did I actually like this? It must have caught my on the right day!

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Dec 13 2025

All the other Slim Shady's really are just imitaties.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Dec 14 2025

Another Joni album, another 3 stars

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Dec 15 2025

W-what time is it? Did I fall asleep? The album is over and I don't think I missed anything

Snivilisation by Orbital
Dec 17 2025

Felt like I was on hold for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Dec 18 2025

We gotta have that punk Ow, we want the punk!

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Dec 19 2025

You know that running joke in HIMYM where Robin Sparkles was an 80s teen pop star in the 2000s because Canada was 20 years behind culturally? Well apparently France is over 30 years behind

Face to Face by The Kinks
Dec 20 2025

A Solid Album. No kinks noticed

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Dec 21 2025

Is this the greatest Pink Floyd Album ever?!?

Cross by Justice
Dec 22 2025

What is something even more annoying than the the French? That's right, EDM ... This happens to be a combination of both!

Dec 23 2025

The Title track is at 1.8 Billion plays, and although it is a major hit the rest of the album falls short.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Dec 24 2025

You most definitely are not a bird, but you seem very confused as to what you are

Odelay by Beck
Dec 25 2025

What the beck is this? Definitely a mixed bag.

D by White Denim
Dec 28 2025

I was enjoying this album and then the pan flute showed up! Solid 4 stars, what a fun discovery!

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Dec 30 2025

2 Billion + Plays songs on this album "You Give Love a Bad Name" & "Livin' On A Prayer" at 2B. This might be one of my favorite albums of all time.

Illmatic by Nas
Dec 31 2025

Not for me

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 01 2026

Heck Yeah!!

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 03 2026

I was ready to rock, and rock I did!

Jan 04 2026

This was one of those little gems you find on this list that make you want more ...

The Stooges by The Stooges
Jan 05 2026

Fun album ... a little weird, but most fun things are

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Jan 06 2026

...and then sometimes weird is just weird

Electric by The Cult
Jan 07 2026

Classic 80s Rock ... but British (Points deducted)

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Jan 08 2026

This was another fun one that I had never heard of

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Jan 09 2026

Very diverse in it's musical style and fun listen.

Da Capo by Love
Jan 10 2026

This is sixties psychedelic with tons of harpsichord and flute solos

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Jan 11 2026

Live those dreams Scheme those schemes Got to hit me (hit me!) Hit me (hit me!) Hit me with those laser beams Ow ow ow!

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 12 2026

It's the early 2000's and there is this quirky girl that is kinda nerdy, but kinda hot. Picture tank top, pixie cut with just the right blend between rebellious and safe and she invites you to a local dive to hear her band play. This is what that sounds like.

Future Days by Can
Jan 16 2026

Not my thing at all. Super long tracks (20 minutes?!?) and it is weird

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jan 18 2026

I mean, it sounds like all the other random mid sixties rock albums.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jan 19 2026

This album came out when I was 14, I own(ed) it and I really liked it for songs like Ironic, Head over Feet, Hand in my pocket ... But listening to the entire album as an middle aged adult .. Wow! It is so much deeper and emotional than I realized

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 20 2026

This album came out when I was 14, I own(ed) it and I really liked it for songs like Ironic, Head over Feet, Hand in my pocket ... But listening to the entire album as an middle aged adult .. Wow! It is so much deeper and emotional than I realized

Repeater by Fugazi
Jan 21 2026

Surprisingly fun!

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jan 22 2026

...and 16 days later I got another Wilco album. This was fantastic and I played all the songs that came after the album on Spotify for the next 2 days!

Jan 24 2026

I would rather his Mama go ahead and knock me out then have to listen to him go on about it

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Jan 25 2026

This is a fun album, but then I noticed the year it came out ... and it was definitely ahead of it's time!

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jan 26 2026

All over the place structurally but does get better as it goes along.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jan 27 2026

He earned his nickname on this one

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Jan 28 2026

Pretty good, but super long. This grass could use a cut

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jan 30 2026

There are 3 Morrissey albums on this list .. I am too far along to quit this thing now, but it is making it hard to continue

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jan 31 2026

This was a fun album ... Acoustic Punk?

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Feb 01 2026

I can't understand a word they are saying ...

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Feb 02 2026

Always a great vibe. Baby making music baby!

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 03 2026

This was another surprise!

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Feb 04 2026

Out of all the Elvis albums, this is a curious one to have on the the list. But, it is still Elvis none-the-less. The KING.

The Man Who by Travis
Feb 05 2026

Another fun gem. When the album went into the long quiet period followed by the "hidden song" I was like "This has to be around 2000 and it was ... oh those sneaky turn of the century artist

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Feb 06 2026

Man, this thing was so big! I was a little too young for it, but she and this album were everywhere!

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Feb 08 2026

Ever been home alone and then this weird feeling comes over you and you start to notice every noise, creek, and you swear you saw something move outside but you don't see anything? This is the soundtrack for that moment.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Feb 09 2026

Wow! I really liked it, another gem on this list in patch that was honestly giving me list fatigue.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Feb 11 2026

What the duck is this?

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 12 2026

Very Bland. Not bad, just kind of forgettable

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Feb 13 2026

The Byrds are all over the place. In this album there was at least 3 times when I checked to see if another tab was talking or playing music because it literally sounded chaotic like they didn't go together at all!

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Feb 15 2026

Imagine watching one of those 90s action movies fight / chase scenes ... for almost an hour ... That is this sound ttrack, I mean album

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Feb 17 2026

All we are is just another brick in the wall ... The Wall is very long, 150 minutes is an adventure for sure.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Feb 19 2026

This sounds like is from Iceland. Pretty, Ethereal, and yet I have no clue what it is or what is going on

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 21 2026

This album comes out the gate strong and is sold throughout. I might just be a Cure fan

Spiderland by Slint
Feb 22 2026

It was so close, I liked the grunge feel to it, the music, but then it was the talking ... it made it kind weird.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Feb 23 2026

If Powerline were a real band ... this would be their album

Arular by M.I.A.
Feb 24 2026

They should have stayed Missing ...

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Feb 25 2026

It was a great album to push through and finish a day lacking motivation. Well timed!

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Feb 26 2026

It's like playing an web based medieval cheesy video games

Skylarking by XTC
Feb 28 2026

"Stop trying to make British 70s/80s rock happen. It is never going to happen"

Opus Dei by Laibach
Mar 01 2026

Why is German Cookie Monster so angry?

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Mar 02 2026

A nice surprise. I liked it.

S&M by Metallica
Mar 03 2026

Wow! As a band nerd and a French Horn player at that, to hear Horns backing up sick guitar riffs and heavy drums ... This was amazing honestly ... and I don't even like live albums!

Fragile by Yes
Mar 04 2026

Me: Mom, can we get the Pink Floyd album Mom: We have Pink Floyd at home This is the album at home ...

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Mar 05 2026

Much different than the Beach Boy sound that I am used to. A heavier album talking about protest and politics. I checked twice to make sure I was still on the album.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Mar 06 2026

It was good, I enjoyed it, but it isn't something I would intentionally play

Kala by M.I.A.
Mar 07 2026

The opening song was painful, but then I saw a Billion play song and got excited about the prospect of redemption ... but then when the gun shots starting ringing over the illegible lyrics I gave up ... Worst Billion play song ever!

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Mar 08 2026

I think if you are going to do a cover or a remake, it needs to be different than the original - These fellas did just that. They Funkified some great songs. I was grooving at work the whole album.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Mar 09 2026

Fun, Clever, and Witty. They Might Be Giants meets the Pixies.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Mar 10 2026

I was excited to get a Prince Album, but this was very mid.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Mar 11 2026

Classic!

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Mar 12 2026

Wouldn't it be nice if all the albums on this list were as good as this masterpiece?

Mar 13 2026

It probably deserves a 4, but to put a Greatest Hits album against 1,000 other single album deserve some kind of handicap

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Mar 14 2026

The Revelation of this album and artist is a gift from this project. What a great album!

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 15 2026

Estaba en un viaje misionero en Panamá cuando conseguí este álbum y era mucho más probable que lo escuchara; ¡y me alegro de haberlo hecho! ¡Fue divertido!

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Mar 16 2026

This could have been so good, like a strong 4, there were some great songs on here, that unfortunately were being played over by less great songs leaving me like .. What is happening?

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Mar 27 2026

Appropriately this is my 666th album, and I thought I knew what Alice Cooper was, and maybe the benefit of a few decades seems to mellow him out, but it was not at all what I expected

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Mar 28 2026

Remember kids, just say no to drugs

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Mar 29 2026

How are there three of these on the list?!?! Downtown Train saved the 1 star rating.

Sulk by The Associates
Mar 30 2026

I get it, it was the very early 80s and anything was better than disco, right? Right?!?

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Mar 31 2026

Sometimes you just gotta give people what they want ... in this case a two

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Apr 01 2026

I had never heard of them before, but it was an enjoyable listen

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Apr 02 2026

It's 2001. 2 months after the World Trade Center attacks, the world is still confused, angry, and in shock. New stories come out everyday of the victims of the attack. You sit in a dimly lit coffee shop trying to process everything that has happened, and this album comes on ... "I remember her and I remember him I remember them and I remember then.. I'm just rememberin' I'm just rememberin'"

Destroyer by KISS
Apr 03 2026

I always thought KISS was some big bad heavy rock band, turns out they are Van Halen with Makeup

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Apr 04 2026

This is weird, but in a really fun way!

No Other by Gene Clark
Apr 05 2026

Not too shabby, I really liked the flow and the familiar, yet different quality to it.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Apr 06 2026

Have to give them a shout out for pulling off the trifecta of naming your band "Bad Company", titling your album "Bad Company" and having a song called "Bad Company".

Marquee Moon by Television
Apr 08 2026

Super repetitive. If you like Long guitar solos that are two notes with pedals? This is for you

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Apr 09 2026

I think we let too many British invade in the 60s. This one sharks have stayed on the boat.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Apr 10 2026

I thought I liked The Who, this album changed my mind

Berlin by Lou Reed
Apr 11 2026

I really back and forth on this. The scoring ranging from a 2-4. The whole concept, depth, and sadness of the life of a relationship between the two protagonist was well thought out, however, the songs were not always the strongest. Then came "Sad Song" and it made me want to throat punch Lou myself ending on a horribly sour note. So, a 3 in the middle for fairness.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Apr 17 2026

This is an ADHD Nightmare. It is chaotic, loud, just a bunch of random noise with talking over it. You know the creepy tunnel scene in Willy Wonka ... This is like that but on drugs. I hate it with a passion and couldn't get through a single song

Apr 19 2026

He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice But they didn't have Ice-T, so he bought Vanilla Ice.

American Pie by Don McLean
Apr 20 2026

The title track is probably one of the greatest songs of all time, but other tracks like Vincent, The Grave, and Till Tomorrow were fantastic. Solid 4

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Apr 21 2026

Well, this may be he first rap album that I was able to actually get through.

Apr 22 2026

With over 5 songs on the album toping out over 7 minutes in length it felt like I was in actual court

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Apr 23 2026

This is not all what I expected. Jane says I should give this a 4, but the artwork definitely lowers the score

Apr 24 2026

It was weird with a 20 min + song, and yet I was working and it was in the background and I felt a little sad when it was over.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Apr 25 2026

Imagine improve ... but every instrument doing it simultaneously with no structure ... for almost 2 hours

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 26 2026

I am absolutely Jammin' with this album. Every little thing is gonna be alright, so people get ready for some Punky Reggae!

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 27 2026

When it's getting towards the mid nineties and you just can't let the eighties go

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Apr 29 2026

Started off Blusey, but then just became another run of the mill all sound the same 60s band

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Apr 30 2026

They are aptly named. I didn't know "Noise Rock" was a thing, but this is definitely it

Dare! by The Human League
May 01 2026

The major shift from Disco to the 80s we know and love. Don't You Want me (to play more Synth)

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
May 03 2026

They should probably start talking about something else ...

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
May 04 2026

Blame on the Cassa Nova ...

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
May 05 2026

Tight Harmonies and nice arrangements. Yacht Rock indeed.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
May 06 2026

More generic, non-descript Brit-Pop.

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 08 2026

Smooth Criminal is another Billion play song, but you also get Bad, Man in the Mirror, and the Way You Make Me Feel. It might not be Triller, but it still a generation defining album.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
May 09 2026

One really long great song with the rest being filler. But it is a great song!

The Blueprint by JAY Z
May 10 2026

The Blueprint for destroying an entire culture ...

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
May 11 2026

Love the folksy stuff, the vibrato, and some great songs.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
May 12 2026

It's Jazz. It's Funk. It sounds like something you'd hear from Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes if Hans Solo hadn't shot the bounty hunter Greedo and ruined the groove.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
May 14 2026

This fun. I can only imagine watching the guy on that organ ...

May 15 2026

It was interesting and fun ... for a little while and then things started to get weird. Indian rock is a strange place

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
May 16 2026

We can you, there is no need to scream.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 17 2026

Stevie is always a wonder

GI by Germs
May 18 2026

I get the timing and influence of this album, but, the best I can do is a 3

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
May 19 2026

I really liked it. The only heartbreak is when it was over.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
May 20 2026

I mean ... it's okay I guess

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
May 21 2026

In the evolution of the universe of music this album blends into the forgettable soundscape of so many artist that sound exactly the same.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
May 23 2026

Overall a kind bland album ... Angels saves the 3 star rating.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
May 24 2026

They are really good and letting know what they want, which of course is our love, and for us to want them. Despite it being a live album, I can't help but give it to them!

Medúlla by Björk
May 25 2026

There are no McDonald's in Iceland and they banned dogs. This album is probably why

May 28 2026

Tainted Love is a Billion Play song, but other than that there isn't much to the album

May 29 2026

Beside the Billion Play song "Hey Ya" there is a powerhouse at over 2 hours. A bit overwhelming but fun.

Kenza by Khaled
May 30 2026

I can't do it .. I tried, honest I did

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 31 2026

A big album, but no songs I recognize. Still it was enjoyable

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jun 01 2026

What the actual heck? I am leaving the party early and my Mom says we can no longer be friends ...

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Jun 02 2026

Party people, Party people, can y'all get funky? <Robot Voice> Rock, Rock, Planet Rock ... Don't stop! Gotta rock it, don't stop it, gotta rock it ... don't stop!

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jun 04 2026

It was good. A nice find

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Jun 05 2026

This was peak Christina

Garbage by Garbage
Jun 06 2026

This was a staple in the late nineties. I forgot how good it was. Absolutely no Garbage here.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Jun 07 2026

Apparently girls against boys is just a noisy argument with a lot of screaming

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jun 08 2026

Bottom Third of the Eras and little sister to a top third Folklore. But even that, it is still Taylor.

California by American Music Club
Jun 10 2026

It started off great and got a little weird as it went a long. Add to the fact that they aren't on Spotify and you get a 2

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Jun 11 2026

As much as I wanted to like it, I didn't

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jun 12 2026

The timing is perfect ... I don't think I could last another second.

Tical by Method Man
Jun 13 2026

Not the right method for me ... This one was rough

Jun 14 2026

This is 80s country and Dwight is a legend. The sound, the structure, the instrumentation, every bit of it is classic Country Western.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jun 15 2026

I knew the title track, but I didn't know this was a rock theater (Westside Story?) production. Awesome!

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

80s Hip Hop is fun!

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jun 17 2026

Although it is a live album, I think it actual works to it's advantage in this case. This is a fantastic album and when it comes to the blues BB is King!

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jun 25 2026

Imagine you grew up in the late 90s and your Mom only had a Kate Bush CD in the house. It is all you ever listened to and the only real concept you have of what music sounds like. Then you started a band in the late 2000s ...

Jun 26 2026

Stop trying to make British 70s/80s rock happen. It is never going to happen"

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Jun 27 2026

I wanted to like this, I like her, but lastly I could not

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jun 28 2026

Had two really good hits and the rest of the album was solid. There are a lot of albums on this list that can't say that.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Jun 30 2026

I remember driving in the back of Nanny's car in the late 80s, "Holding Back the Years" came on, it was raining and that AC was working great. Was one of the best naps of my life.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jul 01 2026

I listened to the album twice. I liked it, but at the same time, there was nothing I really remember about it both times.

Forever Changes by Love
Jul 07 2026

This album suffers from sounding dated all these years later, when at it's time it was so different

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jul 09 2026

I thought this was Roy Rogers but it was Roger Rabbit

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 10 2026

I'll tell you what's going on! This is a fantastic album

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Jul 11 2026

I wanted to hate this, but I didn't

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jul 12 2026

Another Billion Play song for "Vienna" but the album is filled with classics. A great album overall

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jul 13 2026

Okay, 5 Cohen album are extremely excessive ...

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Jul 14 2026

A fun find ... there is still surprise left in this list.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jul 15 2026

This album sounds like a Smokey Mountain Vacation on the Parkway of Pigeon Forge. So many great memories of a simpler time.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jul 16 2026

Not at all what I thought it would be ... for the better!

Jul 23 2026

A classic at the end of the Millenia. This thing was everywhere... and then it wasn't. Still a good album though.

Jul 24 2026

Four Albums?!? This project has pushed me to absolutely hate an artist who I had previously never even knew existed!

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jul 26 2026

A Billion Play song with "Take Me Out", This album is fun, diverse, and different

Cut by The Slits
Jul 27 2026

You know that really weird girl who has purple hair and is in punk band and is super edgy, but does it naturally without trying? Like she would pose topless on an album cover just to piss off the establishment and not think twice about it?

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jul 28 2026

I have played this album so many times. One of my favorite Altos (The others are Adele, Beyonce, and Karen Carpenter), the raspiness of her voice , the tone and control. This kids is how you do it

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Jul 29 2026

This was a fun surprise! Never heard of Cowpunk, but I like it!

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Jul 30 2026

Waylon is one of the greats. Great story telling. Simple yet effective acoustic playing. Good pacing and timing. This is here is how it is done!

Jul 31 2026

In theory I should really like this ... and maybe it's because it's a live album with poor sound quality, but I don't

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Aug 01 2026

Another Billion play with "Immigrant Songs". This whole album is a classic!

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Aug 02 2026

This album feels like a paper straw ...

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Aug 03 2026

Spotify in it's mercy only has half this album available. Even that was too much

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Aug 05 2026

Willie Nelson famously said “There are two kinds of men. Those who are in love with Emmylou Harris, and those who haven't met her." This album is exhibit A.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Aug 06 2026

Another billion play songs with "Rock Your Body", although at the time I was team Britney, it has later been revealed that Justin was right all along. I guess we shouldn't believe all women, especially the crazy ones. Extra star as an apology.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Aug 07 2026

I am kinda mad at my parents for never introducing me to this album growing up. How could they get away with something like that all these years?
