Popular Reviews

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins

4 all time songs and they may not even be the best 4 on this awesome album.

Hysteria by Def Leppard

So much nostalgia. Still rocks.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós

One long beautiful dream scape....I couldn't get thru it. Sounded like a soundtrack for a stunning visual IMAX movie. Good background music for doing something.....

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Spotify doesn't play this one for some reason? Found it on YouTube. Disappointing and confusing. I wanted to like it, just didn't get it and definitely could not get thru much of any it.

All Ratings (906)

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 05 2024

It sounded....old. I like all the quick songs, the Beatles sound and all. Probably wouldn't listen to it again. Looking forward to whatever is next :)

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jan 06 2024

Dense. He’s awesome. Long album, over 70 minutes. The blacker the berry got my attention. Need to hear more of his stuff.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jan 07 2024

I love Prince, I did not love this Album. Long and meh. Nothing grabbed me really.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 09 2024

It was definitely an album that was meant to be listened to completely as no song stuck out. His speaking rapping and singing voices are all so different. He’s talented but this didn’t grab me.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jan 10 2024

So many songs! Felt like 6-8 not 24. Fun background party music. Nothing grabbed me.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 11 2024

Awesome album. Never listened to it in full. Few new tunes I dug. Wasn’t very long. I made chili and cleaned up in one listen.

Jan 12 2024

3 bangers! Great background music. A lot of the tunes from reminded me of really polished 60s music. Great sound great album

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 13 2024

Really good. Never heard most of it and enjoyed almost all of it. Perfect background cleaning music

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jan 14 2024

One long James Bond song

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Jan 15 2024

Surprisingly, really good and very polished. Not my favorite style of music, but was surprised that I liked it

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jan 16 2024

Sofa king good.

White Ladder by David Gray
Jan 17 2024

First two songs are absolute bangers. The rest of the album is just kind of OK

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jan 18 2024

Four absolute all-time songs, including teacher your children, acoustically, which I never heard before. Couple other tunes I never heard that were OK otherwise, most of the other songs are kind of downers. Their voices and talents are amazing. Just not all the songs are hits.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 20 2024

So many hits. So many songs. Just awesome.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jan 21 2024

Not my jam. Not bad, just nothing grabbed me.

Jan 22 2024

Couldn't get into it. The grooves were long and grating. Never heard of the band....which is nuts cuz they have like 30 albums. Then again, punk ain't my thing and I just listened to The Understones yesterday (which I didn't love either) so maybe its just punk fatigue, but I didn't like it. Boring.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 23 2024

Don't think I ever heard the whole (double) album. Bloated and awesome but rambling at times. Thought I'd love it more.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jan 24 2024

I never heard of them at all. Very British! Can hear the Beatles influence.....almost like a poor mans Oasis (without the catchy pop tunes). The album was pretty good. Nothing stood but I didn't feel the urge to FF any of the songs.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jan 25 2024

One long beautiful dream scape....I couldn't get thru it. Sounded like a soundtrack for a stunning visual IMAX movie. Good background music for doing something.....

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jan 26 2024

Was fine. Liked as many songs as I didn't. So much Brit rock so far.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jan 27 2024

Cannot deny the talent, skill, musicianship, etc.....just kinda old and boring. I'd like to respect them with a better rating, but if I am being honest....

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jan 28 2024

Really enjoyed this unexpected album in its entirety from band Ive never heard of prior. Lo fi first. Loved the sound

Street Life by The Crusaders
Jan 29 2024

Kinda Earth Wind and Fire + an ok Donna Summer vibe + Super Market/Elevator music = No me gusto

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jan 30 2024

Rich sound, overproduced and just felt noisier than it needed to be. Nothing too catchy either unfortunately. I wanted to like it, just didn't :(

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Jan 31 2024

If I were to have heard any of these songs by themselves as part of a mix, I may ask who was singing. Listening to these songs one after another was just too much melodic electronica....not bad per se, just not my thing.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Feb 01 2024

Love Paul Simon. Never heard this album. No major hits and some stinkers but undeniably talented and some decent song writing. Was ok at best.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 02 2024

I am not sure why this album was included. Unremarkable. Musicians were fine, his voice is good and unique, songs were meh at best. One Hit Wonder band for a reason.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 03 2024

Wow what an album. 8 songs and 4 all timers (Thunderoad, ten ave freezeout, Born to Run and Jungleland). In 40 minutes no less!!

Feb 04 2024

I did not see this one coming! Awesome album beginning to end. Even the ludicrous 12 minute Outro was good. Highly produced and highly enjoyable.

The La's by The La's
Feb 05 2024

Did not expect to like it. Sounded like it was from the 60's. Heavy Beatles influence, even heard some Pink Floyd hints in there. There She Goes is a huge hit that I never could have told you who wrote/performed and when. Pretty solid.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Feb 06 2024

Not a fan of Tom Petty. No denying the greatness of his bangers Breakdown and American Girl. The rest just kinda stinks to me. 10 songs in 30 minutes is just odd too.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Feb 07 2024

1962!! Never knew the name of Green Onions (song or album) or Booker T & the MGs but clearly they were influential artists. Rockin soulful organ and beautiful instrumentals. The album just felt important. Really good.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Feb 08 2024

Nope. 2 hours and 40 minutes of 69 unremarkable songs. Scanned a few, couldn't be bothered. Not sure why its here.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Feb 09 2024

Good. Well produced. Smooth. Nothing jumped out. If asked, I may have thought it was Crosby Stills and Nash.

Melodrama by Lorde
Feb 10 2024

Green Light is a banger! Couple other decent tunes but nothing close. Wish I liked it more.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Feb 11 2024

Nope. Video game background music. Not an album. I’d give it a zero if I could.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Feb 12 2024

Nice Sunday AM album. Chill vibe. Polished and solid.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 13 2024

Unreal that this isn't a greatest hits album. It was their 11th studio album too! Crazy. 7 of the 11 are certified bangers, the other 4 are good too (just slower). An easy 5. Gotta be one of the best albums ever.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Feb 14 2024

Surprised by how much I liked it. Songs are fast and just really good. Knew almost Al of them. No one has played piano quite like him

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 15 2024

Outstanding album. What an album is supposed to be. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Ramones by Ramones
Feb 16 2024

With the exception of Blitzkrieg Pop they kinda stink in a very endearing way. Songs are short and repetitive and simple and ok. It’s like a 2.5 with one banger so I’ll round up.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Feb 17 2024

Jazzzzzz. Great background, cuz I just cant listen to Jazz instrumentals all by themselves

Django Django by Django Django
Feb 18 2024

Album was fine. Ok. Unremarkable or memorable

Sulk by The Associates
Feb 19 2024

23 songs from the 80's that I never heard of - and maybe never needed to. Kind of like Devo and Oingo Boingo without any hits. I could not get thru this.

Feb 20 2024

Couple of notable bangers....the rest is repetitive electronica/rap/groove/machine beats. I wouldn't seek it out, but didn't hate it. I thought Fatboy Slim was a person - guess not :)

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Feb 21 2024

Thing called Love is one of my favorite tunes. The rest of the album was pretty good not great. can’t tell if it’s a parody album just a modern day take on screaming metal either way it’s fun

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Feb 22 2024

1958! Johnny Cash-like. Dunno if he was an influence or this was just the style of play of the day. I'm guessing the "Ramblin" is his story telling. Enjoyable, different.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Feb 23 2024

If I were to walk into a bar in Nashville and she was singing, it would be an awesome night....otherwise this music style just does not fit in my listening life.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 24 2024

So cool that this was the first post-Nirvana album that he wrote/reordered entirely alone. First 3 songs are bangers....never heard most if not all of the rest of the album. Solid

Calenture by The Triffids
Feb 25 2024

There must be 10000 better albums then this unlistenable garbage.

John Prine by John Prine
Feb 26 2024

Sounded like a parody album of what country music should be. Guitar playing was good.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Feb 27 2024

Awesome taking a deeper dive into a band that I thought I knew. They are masters of their unique sound and style. No better band for high intensity workouts. This music has a time and place.....my office desk is not one of them.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Feb 28 2024

She's so much more than just a rapper. Great voice, very good songs, even beyond the ones I already knew (The Rain, Sock it To me). Great featured guests that added to her songs, didn't take away. Well produced. I don't know that I would ever put it on, I just know I wouldn't run Missy Elliott off.

Feb 29 2024

It sounds like Bsides off of a weak Beach boys album. Maybe a hint of the Doors in there or some Mamas and the Papas. None of it really grabbed me though.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Mar 01 2024

This is just top tier....even re-listening impartially. Easy 5 stars.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 02 2024

Very good album with a couple bangers! So many different styles. Her voice is one of a kind, the band is very good and you can hear how influential she was…the GoGos, the Bangles, the punk, the disco. Not sure I would just put it on tho.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Mar 03 2024

40+ songs, 2 hours of quality dated Beatlesque music is just too damned much

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Mar 04 2024

Love me some Jack White. Never heard most of these songs and really liked most of them. Fell in Love with a Girl and We are Gonna Be Friends are all timers.....not enough on this album to make it 5 stars tho.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Mar 05 2024

What a voice! Great rainy Sunday lazy around the house kinda music. Not sure I would ever put on 50's music/standards, but certainly didn't mind this one. 9 songs and 35 minutes of chilllllll

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 06 2024

Never heard of him before. Didn't like it, but didn't dislike it either. He sounds like David Johansen/Buster Poindexter.

Mar 07 2024

It’s a mood. Not for me. Her talent is clear, the songs are ok. Maybe two songs grabbed me (Dance til we die).

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 08 2024

A few all time rock classics and an opening riff for the ages. Deep dive into a long two disc set. Really enjoyed some of the stuff I never heard before. It was just too long.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 10 2024

This album is a 5. ALL of their albums are 5’s. I own them alll. Psyched to listen to this one in the car with the whole fami

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 11 2024

Spotify doesn't play this one for some reason? Found it on YouTube. Disappointing and confusing. I wanted to like it, just didn't get it and definitely could not get thru much of any it.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Mar 12 2024

This album rocks. Was even better all these years later. 911 is a Joke, Welcome to the Terrordome, Burn Hollywood Burn, Fight the Power....and 16 other tracks....so good.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Mar 13 2024

Really good. Sounds like the Clash meets the Ramones. A strong 3

The Specials by The Specials
Mar 14 2024

Really fun album. Ska isn't for everyone....but is for me :) Monkey Man rocks. Very strong 3....I would definitely put it on again.

The Slider by T. Rex
Mar 15 2024

Just a really good polished rock album. First time I’ve listened to TRex. Really enjoyed it.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 17 2024

Relentless instrumental mastery.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Mar 18 2024

Tough listen. Every 80’s cliche immaculately produced with a monotone voice. Not for me. One memorable tune.

Mar 19 2024

Short! 30 minutes. Fun. Fine. I’ve heard way better stuff from him. Probably a whole lot better if you can see him dance and perform.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Mar 20 2024

Not my jam. Not awful. Not good. Glam punk rock zzzzzzz. After Leonard Cohen the the day, the monotone baritone vocal styling's were tiring.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 21 2024

What a show this must've been. Never heard this album but felt like I knew it. Keith Moon was unreal.

Dookie by Green Day
Mar 23 2024

Easy 5

The Yes Album by Yes
Mar 24 2024

The musicians are clearly beyond talented. The music is high pitched, frenetic and irritating after a while.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Mar 25 2024

This was dense and not at all what I was expecting. So many different styles. Felt like a cross between yes and Pink Floyd I didn’t love it but I definitely could appreciate it

Blackstar by David Bowie
Mar 26 2024

Weird. I imagine if you are a Bowie fan that you’d love this

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Mar 27 2024

She is intense. Never heard of her until Stranger Things. I didn’t hate it, but my family did. Not sure it’s an all timer.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Mar 28 2024

I liked it! Nothing remarkable just a solid rock/glam/punk album. Never heard of these guys before.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Mar 29 2024

Cool weird spoken word/sound clip/soundtrack with a ton of talent and styles. It’s a ride.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 30 2024

War Pigs, Iron Man and Paranoid…all timers. Always loved Ozzy, but really heard the guitars this go round…amazing.

New Forms by Roni Size
Mar 31 2024

Verrrrry interesting. Kinda dug it. Relentless drums.

My Generation by The Who
Apr 02 2024

Love The Who....more than I thought. The hits are the hits...and they have plenty....but the rest is very listenable. Not all great.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Apr 03 2024

Sounded like it was a low budget Nine Inch Nails done on a Casio keyboard. A couple of know tunes, but nothing I loved

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Apr 05 2024

Very good. Unique voice, real good guitar and some good tunes. I wouldn’t turn her off

Fragile by Yes
Apr 06 2024

I liked it more than the Yes Album. 3 all time tunes and a couple of questionable ones. I like Yes.....hope thats it from them tho.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Apr 07 2024

Too many songs. Some of it was fine, most of it was like the soundtrack to a movie I didn't like or understand

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Apr 08 2024

Better than I thought it would be. I knew a couple tunes, the rest were solid too. Love the drums.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Apr 09 2024

I am a Coldplay Stan. This is not their best. Kind of a slow burn this album.

Phrenology by The Roots
Apr 10 2024

Never heard the roots before besides listening to Jimmy Kimmel. Wow. I did not see this album coming. I loved it and will absolutely listen to it again.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Apr 11 2024

Better and more polished than I expected. Solid.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 13 2024

Neil Young is solid. just don’t enjoy him as much as I think I will. Even the hits we know are really just OK

Apr 14 2024

Way better than expected. Listened to it mountain biking which definitely helped the enjoyment factor

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Apr 15 2024

Delicate and sweet and not a single song grabbed me. The vocals and guitar alone would’ve been better without all the studio BS. Did not like this much if at all.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Apr 16 2024

Love Iron Maiden. Love the Bruce Dickinson version more. This sounded like rough cutsl

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Apr 17 2024

Long double albums....I was ready to hate on it because when I scanned it I didn't recognize any of the tunes. I'm an idiot. So fucking smooth and dynamic and rich. His influence on ALL music is on display here. Amazing album.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Apr 18 2024

Never heard of them before. Felt like a cross between the Clash and Devo. If it were a person it would be Fred Armisen. It was pretty good.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Apr 19 2024

Unique. Odd. Intentional. Occasionally groovy. Overall, meh.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 20 2024

It started slow and theatrical, I was dubious. Then it got very good! Well produced, cohesive like an album should be. Varied sounds, similar styles, energetic. "Afrofuturism"....guess I'm a fan. Liked it a lot.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Apr 21 2024

High energy. Fun and familiar. Felt like a time capsule to high school.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Apr 22 2024

These guys were awesome - never heard before. Tribe Called Quest with some Kool Moe Dee and Public Enemy.

Green by R.E.M.
Apr 23 2024

I can appreciate the pop superstardom aspect of it, but if I am being honest, I turn it off whenever it comes on and couldn't get thru much of this relatively short 41 minute album.

Apr 24 2024

Was OK. Thought it may be better. Kind of the same thing over and over.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Apr 25 2024

Nope. Irritating breathy synth depression music.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Apr 26 2024

An unexpected gem! Thought it was gonna be an 80's cheesefest but turned out to be smooth and really well produced. Lots of styles. Seems like a lot of different artists too. Will play again next time I'm cooking

Apr 27 2024

I appreciate the historical significance. I appreciate the soulful voice and the standards. Its just old and not something I wanna listen to a whole bunch of.

Heroes by David Bowie
Apr 28 2024

Not a Bowie fan. I tried. Heroes rocks......but maybe because I love the redo's? Meh.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Apr 29 2024

Really enjoyed this one. Never heard of them, singer had a bit of Freddy Mercury in him.

Apr 30 2024

Not one song grabbed me. They all sounded the same. Whiny nasally disenchanted droning. No wonder j never got into them.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
May 01 2024

Every other song was fine. Nothing grabbed me. Florence and Alanis do this better

Let It Be by The Replacements
May 02 2024

Enjoyable. The remastered person had too many extra songs tho. Made the album too long.

Stankonia by OutKast
May 03 2024

Just an amazing album. Love the Killer Mike and B Real tunes. Sorry Miss Jackson and So Fresh are all timers. Easy 5 here

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
May 05 2024

Unremarkable, uninteresting and unnecessary.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
May 06 2024

Wouldn’t mind seeing them live in a bar, otherwise underwhelming

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
May 08 2024

Felt like a synth 80s album. Nothing great, nothing terrible. Just fine.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
May 09 2024

Definitely biased - this was the first album I ever owned.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 10 2024

Started weak, got better, weak, better, irritating, a couple of FF's and thankfully this one is over.

Smash by The Offspring
May 11 2024

I wanted to hate on this album, but can't. 3 or 4 bangers and a driving fast paced fun gym album. Surprising 4 from me.

Graceland by Paul Simon
May 12 2024

An all time favorite.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
May 13 2024

Another James Bond soundtrack. I didn't turn it off...so its better than a 1.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
May 16 2024

There has gotta be some better Bollywood music out there....this was OK. Listenable.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
May 17 2024

A surprising out of nowhere, solid three. Never heard of them before. Enjoyed it

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 18 2024

An all-time top 10 album for me.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
May 19 2024

12 songs in 28 minutes. I appreciate it. Liked it. Loved Blue Suede Shoes, Tutti Frutti.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
May 20 2024

Now I know what the bossonova is. Girl from Imponema was awesome, the rest was very good too. Perfect background dinner music

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
May 21 2024

Just the perfect background music. Nostalgic for me, Brad played this a lot in college.

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 22 2024

Solid. I may have liked this more than expected. One of his better iterations

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
May 23 2024

An all time favorite....AND they just started making music again :)

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
May 25 2024

Bowie is so solid. No album has been a 5, but they all have at least one banger. Changes rocks.

Crazysexycool by TLC
May 26 2024

Creep and Waterfalls are awesome...the rest is solid. Wouldn't put it on, but didn't turn it off.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
May 28 2024

Loved it when it came out and loved it now.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
May 29 2024

I liked the concept more than the album unfortunately. I Can See For Miles is a banger...the rest was fine dated classic 60's rock.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
May 30 2024

She is no Janelle Monae....this was overly produced and very very OK at best. Nothing memorable.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
May 31 2024

3 bangers! Gotta Get Up, Coconut and Without You (I thought that was a Manilow song). The rest was fine.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jun 01 2024

Loved it when it came out. Love it now. Love the Crowes period.

Jun 02 2024

Never heard of these guys. A pleasant surprise. All the other reviews seem similar...somewhere between Cold Play and Radiohead. I agree. Very solid, occasionally catchy, not memorable but definitely listenable..

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jun 03 2024

Way better than expected. More melodic and skilled than I thought. Not a gimmick band at all. Will play this again for sure

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jun 04 2024

What a show this must've been. The band is great. 1960! Album is fantastic. Had me moving sided to side and smiling.

Jun 05 2024

His talent is undeniable. Hard Rain and Blowing in the Wind are all timers. The harmonica and droning voice make listening to too much Dylan irritating. This is way better than his later mumbling droning tho.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Jun 06 2024

Interesting like a soundtrack to a foreign film where I have no idea what’s going on but don’t even think of turning off.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jun 07 2024

Not their best. Stones Bangers of course, the rest was dated and not at all special.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jun 08 2024

Varying moods and tempos is a great way to describe this listenable sometimes grooving otherwise forgettable album.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jun 09 2024

The album sounded like one long song. Their most popular songs are good, or I just know them from the radio. The rest sounds similar but unmemorable.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Jun 10 2024

Kinda like the Mamas and the Pappas without any catchy tunes. Forgettable.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jun 11 2024

I got my hair cut correct like Anthony Mason….these guys are the best.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jun 12 2024

His talent is undeniable. on site I just can’t get out of my head. The rest is all just so unnecessarily vulgar. I wonder if he can wrap without using the N-word. or or using somebody else’s samples and voice. oh yeah, he’s also an antisemite I have a hard time separating the art from the artist

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jun 13 2024

I like them a lot more when they’re more blues than psychedelic. The organ can get particularly irritating on some songs as can Jim Morrison’s ramblings. I’m not a huge Doors fan, but their hits are undeniable

B-52's by The B-52's
Jun 14 2024

How did this album ever get made? They are so unique and gimmicky. Their hits are annoying.....the rest is too.

Jun 15 2024

Earlier Queen rocked harder than I thought. Less Freddy Mercury than I knew them for but very good!

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 16 2024

So enjoyable and better than I though musically. A LOT of today's stuff was recognizable in this 1974 gem. Samples, riffs, styles. Bob Marley rules.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Jun 17 2024

One all time song and an all time artist. Short and sweet and unmistakably Al Green.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 18 2024

Just really enjoyed the album as a whole. Couple of all time tunes help.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Jun 20 2024

So serious. Each song seems to have a serious message or story. He is interesting and talented and sometimes nails it with an all timer like Games Without Frontiers.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jun 21 2024

Noisy. One memorable tune. Maybe.

Jun 23 2024

Couldn’t get through this garbage. So over produced. Was it an actual play? If so, who wanted to see it? I was hoping for more.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jun 24 2024

6 albums! Nope. It is not in the spirit of this exercise. I refuse to listen. 3 hours and 15 minutes = 1.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jun 25 2024

I never knew Janis Joplin sang with a band....or never really gave it a thought until now. Very good, not great. Her voice tho.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 26 2024

I didn’t like them back then and I still don’t like them now. This is not very good

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jun 27 2024

She is just an all-time voice for me.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Jun 28 2024

Learned a bunch about the origins of CSNY listening to this. Some gems, a familiar pleasing sound and a few very very slow songs (I'm guessing Neil Young's influence). Twas OK.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jun 29 2024

Never heard of him....or didn't know he was the sound track to Good Will Hunting. Was good. Sounded like the Plain White T's.....chill folky acousticy backgroundy stuff.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Jun 30 2024

It wasn't available on Spotify....altho he had a ton of other music on there. Not everyday listening type stuff....fine background jazz.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jul 01 2024

The epitome of hard rock and roll.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jul 02 2024

Back to Back AC/DC albums kinda makes you have to pick a favorite.....this one came in second.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jul 03 2024

Way better than expected. I enjoyed her sound.

Jul 04 2024

I didn't know just how much I loved Cee Lo's voice. Singing. Rapping. Just speaking. I seemed to sing along with half the songs and I had never heard any of 'em. The guy makes great sounding music.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jul 05 2024

15 songs about losing love did not have me optimistic about this album. Thankfully it wasn't droning and had the banger To Be Young. Exceeded expectations.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jul 06 2024

Excellent album....4 real bangers. Impressive.

Dare! by The Human League
Jul 08 2024

Don’t you want me saved this crap album from being. 1

2112 by Rush
Jul 09 2024

This may have been the first longform rock album I ever listened to. The greatest rock power trio of all time. This may not be their best or my favorite, but it’s still awesome

Jul 10 2024

An amazing first album. Four out of the eight songs are all time greats including two of my favorites in Simple Man and Tuesday’s gone.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jul 12 2024

She is very good and a very particular flavor.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jul 13 2024

The Weight is so good.....the rest of the album sounds similar just without any really really good songs. Would have loved to see them live.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jul 14 2024

Overrated! (I just listened to Carol King/Joni Mitchell previously - maybe I am just fatigued?)

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jul 15 2024

Played it at my desk working. Very chill. Barely noticed it was on....or when it was over. Better than Mariah tho!

Dummy by Portishead
Jul 16 2024

Pretty good. Interesting. Can hear a lot of different influences. Dynamic sound and an enchanting voice. Not sure what I was expecting, but this one surprised.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Jul 17 2024

To Pimp a Butterfly was a way better album by my estimation. This one was good....just didn't hit me the same way.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 18 2024

Noisy, distorted, echoey, very ok weird alt-rock. Not my jam.

Jul 19 2024

Didn't realize Tainted Love was only 2:33 long....the rest of the 1 hour and 12 minutes was stylistic and just not for my ears. Sex dwarf LOL!!!!!!

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jul 20 2024

I just don't appreciate the Elvis lore. A couple of popular tunes make this better than a 1 for me: In the Ghetto and Suspicious Minds and a lot of echoes and production.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 21 2024

Meh

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 22 2024

This sucked. Sounded like a miserable musical.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 25 2024

Not for me. Felt like unpolished wanna be Go Gos. Then I learned they came first. Still not for me.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Jul 26 2024

Only slightly better than Nick Cave and he sucked.

Abraxas by Santana
Jul 27 2024

The music just feels big and polished. Couple of all time tunes. Good album indeed.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Jul 29 2024

I can hear the influences it had on modern hip hop/rap. I’d bet it ranks high with rap historians. Good album.

Jul 30 2024

Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova and Don’t look Back in Anger are all epic!!!! A lot of the rest feels a bit cheesy.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jul 31 2024

I really don't care too much for Bob, but can't deny his greatness and relevance to the times and music at large.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Aug 01 2024

Spa music! Wonderful guitar and a unique relaxing background sound.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Aug 02 2024

Its like The Girl From Ipanema went on for 17 songs. Pleasant enough background music.

London Calling by The Clash
Aug 03 2024

A very strong 4. Even there lesser know or weaker stuff is great. No holes. Just not epic.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Aug 04 2024

Its rich, more like robust. Like he used every knob in the sound room and every instrument in the studio and used that constantly irritating beach boys harmony.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Aug 06 2024

Superfly is so cool. Pusherman and Freddies Dead are fun. Such a vibe.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Aug 07 2024

I suppose the reason there are no real big bands anymore was because these guys mastered it. Also, it just feels old, but it should. Great background ambience.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Aug 08 2024

Short polished moody folk tunes. A little too sad feeling for me.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Aug 09 2024

Pretty good. Like a polished Ramones.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Aug 10 2024

Hate the artist....not the art.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Aug 11 2024

Outstanding. Every song.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Aug 13 2024

Somewhere between early Paul Simon and Jewel just not nearly as good as either

Aug 14 2024

Wild album....43 songs. Punk, rock, country-ish at times. 2 minute songs that just feel like 4 good friends jamming. I think I heard the Jackass theme in there (Corona).

Marquee Moon by Television
Aug 15 2024

Lots of hype. Was really just OK for me. Great guitar work and a pleasing sound but nothing I wanted to hear again.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 17 2024

Same as last. Underwhelming and fine.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Aug 18 2024

Typical Neil Young, just after you like a song he puts you to sleep with the next one.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Aug 19 2024

I definitely like good Blues music - just no too much and not too slow. This is good.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Aug 20 2024

An old favorite. It can ramble at times but that's part of the beauty.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Aug 21 2024

Bob Dylan meets the Birds with some CSN. 11 songs in under 30! Solid and enjoyable. Never heard this pretty specific era album.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Aug 22 2024

Frenetic! I am not a fan of a "truly challenging listening experience"....didn't totally suck.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 23 2024

4 all time songs and they may not even be the best 4 on this awesome album.

Aug 24 2024

Beloved for a reason. Hard to separate the art from the artist......Roger Waters is an anti-Semite. Needs to be noted in my opinion.

Cut by The Slits
Aug 26 2024

Sweet album cover - the rest was kinda unlistenable. Punk, ska without a good sound or songs.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Aug 27 2024

Morrissey is a mood. I like the guitar work. I didn't love it, but appreciated it.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Aug 29 2024

Nice to meet you Mr Buckley. You’re album was fine.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Aug 30 2024

Repetitive driving workout music. Could've been Prodigy for all I knew. Solid in certain settings.....but then again, so is most music.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Aug 31 2024

A splendid album. All time songs and great covers with exceptional production value.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Sep 01 2024

She has some memorable old time tunes (Mama Said, Mockingbird)....I just don't like this particular style of songbird.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Sep 02 2024

All over the places styles. World music, calypso, hip hop. Kinda dug it! Don't love the interludes, but it does give it an old school radio vibe at times. Would play again.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Sep 03 2024

Great album. Heard some tunes I never listed to before cementing my love for Jack White. Strong 4.

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Sep 05 2024

Maybe I'm Amazed is just an all timer. The rest was good. Lo-fi and groovy.

Sep 06 2024

I need to listen to this one again when I am in the mood for some serious background mood music.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 07 2024

Its not their best, but so hard to give this anything other than a 5!

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Sep 08 2024

Delightful. Felt historically relevant and important. Jazz. Blues. Rocknroll. Everyone pulled from this!

Black Metal by Venom
Sep 09 2024

Very very good hard rock/metal. A little heavy on the hell/devil stuff. No single banger, but a very good album

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Sep 10 2024

I love the Talking Heads. Psycho Killer is an all timer, Few other good memorable tunes. Just too many OK songs here (16). They have better albums.

Risque by CHIC
Sep 11 2024

Started strong and faded fast. Just not my jam

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Sep 12 2024

Didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. Was fine...at best. Electronica is not my jam.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Sep 13 2024

It was delightful and at times irritating. He is definitely a master song writer with an distinct sound and delivery. When it works its awesome movie music. Not all of the 17 songs work...specially the spritual/god crap,

Sea Change by Beck
Sep 14 2024

Got half way thru this sad sack of crap album before I started to FF the melancholy. Not at all what I want from Beck.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Sep 15 2024

A very good album from a very good artist. Unmistakable soulful voice.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Sep 16 2024

Like a Prayer is an all time banger, Cherish and Express Yourself are up there too. A few stinkers in there that keep this album from being a 5.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Sep 18 2024

Same Ol Neil Young....one great song, one that puts ya to sleep. Altho this album was more sleepy than up.

No Other by Gene Clark
Sep 19 2024

Pretty solid - unremarkable but good. Wasn't expecting to like it, seemed like it was a polarizing album for critics.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Sep 20 2024

Fuckin Neil Young man. Great song, sleepy, upbeat, sleepy, rockin, annoying, melodic, sleepy again. He's just got too much material.

Sep 21 2024

Its essentially 2 long albums. 40 songs/2 discs/2+ hours. Speakerboxx was a 3, The Love Below was a 4. 3 certified bangers in Hey Ya, I like the Way and Roses.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Sep 22 2024

Maybe the best theme song of all time? Its up there. The rest is fun and of that era. Horn sections, wind sections and a touch of Isaac (he doesn't sing that much). Was fun and fine.

Real Life by Magazine
Sep 23 2024

Seemed ahead if its time. Can see how it may have been influential. I wasn't moved.

Is This It by The Strokes
Sep 24 2024

Two well known very B-list pop tunes and a whole lotta meh.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Sep 25 2024

Indie-90's meh. Kinda like the Strokes without any catchy pop tunes.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Sep 26 2024

What a delightful chill surprise. Will definitely play again.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Sep 27 2024

This album is a dated, teased hair, shoulder pad wearing synthesizer playing 80's movie loving period of time that is rarely mimicked for a reason.

The Score by Fugees
Sep 28 2024

4 bangers and just no weaknesses here.

Sep 29 2024

After Frankie Goes to Hollywood.....this one wasn't so bad.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Oct 01 2024

Everyday People is great, the rest is ok. Its no Earth Wind and Fire

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Oct 02 2024

Didn't expect to like this one at all but kinda did. I appreciated her at least. Nothing memorable other than her positive appeal.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Oct 03 2024

Mama Africa. A delightful songbird even if I didn't understand a word (House of the Rising Son excluded). Short tunes. Nothing too special but I understand her influence bringing this music to the world.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Oct 05 2024

Lust for Life and The Passenger are both epic....the rest would be a 2. OK.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Oct 06 2024

I guess they need to include some Dead on here, just not sure how this was the choice. It punctuates why people don't like them and doesn't go deep enough into how good they really are.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Oct 07 2024

12 songs/3+ hours = no thanks. No patience. What I could listen to was fine, its not terrible. lots of fast forwarding thru songs....well, the whole album really.

Oct 08 2024

This one was good.....as in, best of his music, coherent and not sleepy. Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie's Farm and Mr. Tambourine Man alone make this album worthwhile.

Arular by M.I.A.
Oct 09 2024

Didn't see this one coming, Really enjoyed her beats more than I want to admit. The Sanford and Sons clips in URAQT made me hit repeat a couple of times.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Oct 10 2024

Great debut album. It suffers from knowing what they come up with after this. Feels rough.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Oct 11 2024

This album made me feel sad....lots of sad slow longing melancholy and any other words that come to mind for sweet delicate melodic loving poetry set to whimsical blah blah blah blah....

Young Americans by David Bowie
Oct 12 2024

Young Americans and Fame rock. And while I understand the significance of Bowies popularity and evolutions and use of "black music", I just cant help being bored or uninterested in most of his music.

Achtung Baby by U2
Oct 13 2024

Just another great album from a great band that reinvents itself and keeps their unique sound somehow.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Oct 14 2024

This album fucks. Cry Me a River and Rock your Body may not even be the best two songs. A guilty pleasure.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Oct 15 2024

Disco sucks - but this is pretty good. I imagine it is one of the era's best - I still wouldn't put it on tho.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Oct 16 2024

Mr.Brightside, Somebody Told Me, All These Things I've done are awesome.....the rest sounds like some solid Duran Duran, just unremarkable.

Pornography by The Cure
Oct 17 2024

Nope. Dark, monotonous, a tedious listen.....but not terrrrrrrrible, in an odd way.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Oct 18 2024

Not bad, but not good either. Never been an REM fan and still ain't

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Oct 19 2024

This rocked! Thought they were gonna be a punk band.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Oct 20 2024

This was fine. Better than expected (I expected nothing), although I just listened to the first 10 songs (the playlist was like 40) and remember nothing.

Oct 21 2024

Loved this album. Brimful of Asha was awesome but I never knew the band. Great chill rock grooves. Sweet Indian vibes. This is a perfect example of why I did this!

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 22 2024

Its like a guy got really really good on his Casio keyboard.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Oct 23 2024

Felt like a Guy Ritchie movie.....raw, powerful, gritty, melodic, rough around the edges. Great great album....too short and a little weak on the back half.

Tommy by The Who
Oct 24 2024

I understand its influence and significance and excellence in the lens of a fully composed Opera. I also find it a bit overrated. I don't like musicals, or operas in general.....this fusion is enjoyable at times, has some epic moments (pinball Wizard, Tommy Can you hear me, I'm Free) but overall was better in my memory than on this replay.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Oct 25 2024

Its a good album with some decent songs and and all timer in All I Wanna do. For all her talents, I find her irritating.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Oct 26 2024

Two of my alll time favorites in Little Wing and Bold as Love. Spanish Castle Magic, Castles made of Sand. Easy 5

Oct 27 2024

Nothing remarkable about this mediocre album. Even their signature song was OK at best. Not sure why this was included.

Oct 28 2024

Wow....did not see this one coming. Excellent fun quick album. 13 songs in 40 minutes. Rock/punk upbeat and catchy. Didn't recognize a single song and still enjoyed it.

War by U2
Oct 29 2024

Just another great U2 album....altho not their very best, without this one there may not be more.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Oct 30 2024

80's rom-com theme music

Cross by Justice
Oct 31 2024

Craptronica

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 01 2024

Just really nice background dinner music

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Nov 02 2024

Just a great polished professional album. He is excellent

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Nov 03 2024

Really solid rock. Strong.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Nov 04 2024

Soundtrack music for bad 80's action movies.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Nov 05 2024

After a bad run of electronica, I was not looking forward to this. However, it surprised. I suppose the genre is not always so awful...this one was catchy.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Nov 07 2024

Solid less than spectacular background rock.

Forever Changes by Love
Nov 08 2024

Never heard of 'em, won't remember 'em. Dated 60's mellow rock without any bangers.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Nov 10 2024

The were more rock than punk - and polished. Who knew. Dug it way more than I thought I would.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Nov 11 2024

Excellent musicians with dogshit material. The satire feels more like jealous pontification from someone who never fit in. Its just too silly to take seriously.....but that's what Zappa wanted maybe?

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Nov 12 2024

Dig the grooves....its better with eth animation of course.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Nov 13 2024

Just so good - even all these years later.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Nov 14 2024

This album lost me almost immediately then got worse....didnt get thru a single song

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Nov 15 2024

interesting. It wasn't all one thing, a bit all over the place. Almost like a movie soundtrack. Nothing memorable. 25 song double album is just too long.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Nov 16 2024

Culturally relevant and fun. I dig Johnny Cash.

Nov 17 2024

Not sure how it got SO many listens on Spotify. Unremarkable background noise. One long irritating song.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Nov 18 2024

Intense. Rocking. Sounded lo-fi but was powerful and polished. Real good. She must put on a great show.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Nov 19 2024

Not AS terrible as her other offerings.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Nov 20 2024

Not at all what I was expecting. Not bad - kind of positive sounding and less electronica. Still, not good.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Nov 22 2024

So unique. HIs plethora of short songs all feel like scenes in a larger performance that I don't necessarily grasp.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Nov 23 2024

Band on the Run/Jet is such an outstanding start.....the rest was above average.

1999 by Prince
Nov 24 2024

Started strong and faded. Always room for Prince, even the mediocre stuff.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 25 2024

Bruce is fine. Some songs rock, most are fine. Just too much material all the time.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Nov 27 2024

Described as "one of the most harrowing documents of pain and confusion ever made", the album was recorded after Spence had spent six months in Bellevue Hospital. It was at the time the lowest-selling album in Columbia Records history and was deleted from the Columbia catalogue within a year of its release.....why the FUCK is this on here?

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Nov 28 2024

This album rocked. Got better and better too. Mike Patton is an all timer as a front man.

Mask by Bauhaus
Nov 29 2024

Gothic rock ain't my jam. It didn't suck, just wasn't really any good.

Nov 30 2024

4-5 all time hits and a bunch of other really really good songs. This has gotta be up there with some of the all time albums.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Dec 01 2024

Outstanding! I was always an Iron Maiden/Metallica guy and never gave these guys a chance. I am an idiot.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Dec 05 2024

Fun, good, definitely an excellent video music choice.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Dec 06 2024

11 songs in 28 minutes....the huge hit The Grand Tour was a snooze, the rest was....worse.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Dec 07 2024

Sad experimental "rock".....this is the Radiohead I do not care for.

25 by Adele
Dec 08 2024

She's great - the album was fine

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Dec 09 2024

Dusted this one off after playing it too much in my teens! Still awesome - but nowadays, the back half of the album is way better

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Dec 10 2024

Fast and fun rock n roll. Important stuff...not all so catchy tho.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Dec 11 2024

New to me - very solid late 60's rock. Enjoyable not necessarily memorable.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Dec 12 2024

Another new one for me - and another solid rock album. Wasn't moved by any particular song, but didn't want to FF anything either.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 14 2024

I like him more than I don't most of the time. Occasionally awesome, occasionally I want to turn him off.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Dec 15 2024

I wouldn’t have know it was them with a thousand guesses. That’s not a good thing

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Dec 16 2024

One of his albums I actually liked and listened to in full.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Dec 18 2024

This was a sad album for sad men and just way too much sadness.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Dec 20 2024

Never heard this album or any of the songs but really enjoyed it. They were way more than just OZZY

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Dec 21 2024

Never heard before. Really good. Unique and energetic.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Dec 24 2024

WAY better than the last one (wee Hours). Couple of all time classics in You Make Me Feel So Young and I've Got You Under My Skin. Just too many songs (15)

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Dec 27 2024

She really is great....this album is not her best in my opinion tho. Also a bit long.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Dec 29 2024

Couldn't get thru a single song.....maybe stopped trying after 3 or 4

Document by R.E.M.
Dec 31 2024

Not a fan. Not a hater.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jan 01 2025

A not as dark pop sounding Morrissey is not the brooding goth Morrissey.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 04 2025

I learned Isaac Hayes backwards - I hear Chef. He's still great either way, just sounds like a parody to me at all times!

Slayed? by Slade
Jan 05 2025

Really good specifically dated rock.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jan 06 2025

Its hard to give a Beatles album anything less than a 5. So many hits and my wifes wedding dance with her father song.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 07 2025

Fantastic album...Me and Julio, Mother and Child Reunion and Armistice Day are killer, the rest is totally fun and listenable. Short and to the point and immaculate.

Jan 08 2025

Not good. Sounds like REM trying to do trash metal. I prefer thrash metal a lot more than this crap....and I am not a huge fan of it,

Jan 09 2025

Her voice is an instrument (Somewhere between Karen Carpenter and Amy Winehouse). The music itself is meh.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 10 2025

This must have been an amazing experience LIVE. Its a lot of fun, but gets a bit tedious. Very long. Over 2 hours.

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 11 2025

Liked this more than I thought I would. Pretty unique sound, good songs, a few bangers and 50 minutes long. Very good.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Jan 13 2025

Unremarkable, unmemorable, unnecessary.

Blur by Blur
Jan 14 2025

They're fine. Their hits are fine. All just fine.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jan 15 2025

10/10 - have not listened to this whole album in decades, my bad! No weak spots. Up there with any album ever. Too bad they couldn't keep it up.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jan 16 2025

Solid chill vibe background music. Nothing stood out, but I didn't thin of FF or changing it once.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jan 17 2025

Dolly is so great - often replicated but its neevr the same. Her songs are so short and to the point, its refreshing. A whole album of Dolly is just a bit too much for me tho.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 18 2025

First half of this album is a 5...back half a 3. 4 total with 3 all time tunes. Great stuff Van.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jan 19 2025

Never heard this before but really enjoyed it. Best listened to in a weight room

Low-Life by New Order
Jan 21 2025

Irritating synthesizers, clapping machines, cow bells.....tedious listen.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Jan 22 2025

A stylized cover band. 12 songs in under 30 minutes. More like a good wedding band.

Suede by Suede
Jan 24 2025

Depeche mode meets Radio head

Moon Safari by Air
Jan 25 2025

Daft punkish. Great background.

Kenza by Khaled
Jan 27 2025

N/A on Spotify...but the guys has 20 other albums there. I dug it. Authentic sounding, not sure if its the best of that genre or not, but good background.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 28 2025

A Leonard Cohen song every now and again is intriguing. Not sure who needs whole albums of the dark monotonous story telling spoken singing word.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jan 29 2025

Light weight Go-Go's.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jan 30 2025

Very very good! Not quite as catchy as Bob or Toots but its right there.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Feb 01 2025

You can hear so many modern day musical influences in his impeccable music.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Feb 02 2025

A classic. Stands the test of time. Its not ALL great, but undeniable.

Microshift by Hookworms
Feb 03 2025

A lot of it sounded like the Pointer Sisters song for Beverly Hills Cop. The rest was like dreamy background music for a movie set in a spa.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 04 2025

Haven't listened to this beginning to end in decades. Still holds up! The order seemed weird as I listen to a lot of these tunes often. So great.

Feb 05 2025

I just listened to a Hendrix album from the same year, 1967. It didn't help the Kinks.....their stuff sounded childish

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Feb 06 2025

One can easily see how this put them on the map. Our Lips are Sealed and We Got the Beat are all timers. The rest is kind of one note and filler.

Feb 07 2025

Good clean music - just don't love me honky tonk unless I am in Nashville, which I am not.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Feb 08 2025

Equal parts awesome: Tangled Up in Blue, Shelter from the Storm Pretty OK: Simple Twist And irritating: the rest

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Feb 09 2025

Kinda interesting. Not sure what he's saying, but it sounds sinister, sexy and dangerous.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 10 2025

Great new find for me!!! Played this one the whole way thru - twice.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Feb 11 2025

This was like an undiscovered album for me, I never heard any of it (save for Ray of Light). It was great.

Da Capo by Love
Feb 12 2025

New to me! Although I probably heard them and attributed it to someone else. Could have been any of a number of 60's psychedelic type bands. Solid just not memorable. No one tune stuck out.

Feb 13 2025

This was like the Clash met the Go-Go's - I never would have described Devo that way before listening to this. I only knew their hits. The other stuff is hot or miss, with more hits than misses.

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 14 2025

Really good. Dark and melodic.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 15 2025

Pretty good! This album suffered because it came after Rumors. Its really good but just doesn't even come close....not many if any albums do.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Feb 16 2025

These guys rock. The album is very very good, borderline a 5, just needed one more epic tune.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 17 2025

New to me. Solid. Sounded like early Train. Was unremarkable and fine.

Feb 18 2025

Cabaret Jazz Comedy - not a popular genre. Entertaining for sure.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Feb 19 2025

Never heard him before. Sounded more old school than the time period he came out of. Pretty solid, nothing stuck tho.

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

Real old school. An OG. More funk than I realized. Dug it.

Leftism by Leftfield
Feb 21 2025

More video game music. Felt like talented musicians having fun making new sounds....wasn't awful, but I wouldn't opt to put it on again.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Feb 22 2025

This is a highly specific comment pertient to maybe 6 people, but this could have been the BFO. There are moments of greatness, and the rest is rambling greatness or future greatness but is mostly mathematical jam jazz rock the comes across pretentious and boring.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Feb 23 2025

Easy listening - not their best or most noteworthy

Feb 24 2025

Big band rock n roll. Some classics. Some awesome sections. A lot of long drawn out times which I suppose is necessary when there are like 12 band members.

Future Days by Can
Feb 25 2025

Really good early jam band type stuff - or at least it was to me. I dug it.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Feb 26 2025

I stole this because it fit perfectly.....I have neither the time nor the inclination to listen to the soundtracks of movies that do exist, let alone ones that don’t. An absolute chore.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Feb 27 2025

Pretty boring and unremarkable unfortunately.

OK by Talvin Singh
Feb 28 2025

Indian infused drum machines are fun for a little while. Techno and chanting was interesting, the rest was just wandering instrumental ok-ness.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Mar 01 2025

Conceptual techno = HARD PASS

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Mar 03 2025

Quintessential country - this is what nearly all old country music sounds like to me. It's not very good. The singing is like shitty harmonized yodelling....still better than techno

Mar 04 2025

Not bad - a nice break from all the technotronica that's been coming my way.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Mar 05 2025

I really enjoyed her diversity of sounds, pitch perfect voice and impeccable guitar. Never gave her a listen before but wouldn't turn her off now.

Guero by Beck
Mar 06 2025

A fine Beck album...nothing too special. Couple of tunes I knew, of the rest, meh.

One World by John Martyn
Mar 07 2025

Another new one for me. He was great. Super solid folk rock.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Mar 08 2025

I thought they were contrived and cheesy when they came out......but so what!? Their songs rock. Top tier workout music.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Mar 09 2025

Respectfully - no thank you. There are like 30 songs on this album

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Mar 10 2025

Meh....cept for the tune I knew. Spotify only played a few tunes....I didn't mind it being over quick.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Mar 11 2025

I enjoyed this. Sounded like a lot of different artists took from this. Nothing outstanding here, but solid.

First four tunes are outstanding all timers, the rest of the album is slid too. Just not totally up to the lofty standards set by their other work.

Signing Off by UB40
Mar 13 2025

This album was fine.....feels like it would be ranked exactly 556 out of 1100. Nothing great, nothing terrible.

White Light by Gene Clark
Mar 14 2025

Super chill and folky but unmemorable

Boston by Boston
Mar 15 2025

Classic album start to finish. Holds up every time. There's a reason its still on the radio all the time all these years later.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 16 2025

I had high hopes....there were moments...not enough of 'em tho.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Mar 17 2025

She is so good, so talented and kinda sad. Album rocks, with a few bangers and a couple of holes.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Mar 18 2025

A couple of epic songs and a whole bunch of kick ass songs to follow. They really are the epitome of this type of sound...anyone else seems like a pretender.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Mar 20 2025

Really good. Polished songwriting and production. A little slow at times, but thats the folk style. Wild World is an all timer.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Mar 21 2025

Quite an accomplished Pop album. I can't hate on it. 4 certified hits that I would never opt to put on but can't deny their success.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Mar 22 2025

Just wimpy music. It wasn't awful and grew on me a bit but it just left me sad more than anything.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Mar 23 2025

Synthesizer extravaganza from a sappy emotional dude.

Being There by Wilco
Mar 24 2025

Long. Sounds like a bunch of Ben Folds B-sides. Meh. I had higher expectations.

Who's Next by The Who
Mar 25 2025

So so very good. The great tunes just keep coming. The remastered version was just too much/too long.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Mar 26 2025

New band on my radar. Very solid rock. Loved the guitar distortion stylings. No standout tunes really.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 27 2025

The Cure meets REM. I never listened to them before and won't again.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Mar 28 2025

A bunch of punk songlettes. 2 minute ideas. Some are OK. Some are fine.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Mar 29 2025

I really enjoyed the album. Somewhere in between the Clash and the B52's.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Mar 30 2025

Total surprise that shouldn't have been. Young Rod Stewart rocks. More bluesy really. Awesome guitar. No bangers but a great album nonetheless.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Mar 31 2025

Pretty solid punk rock. Not quite the Clash, maybe closer to eth Ramones without anything catchy.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Apr 01 2025

She is like a folk run on sentence. Insufferable.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Apr 03 2025

Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion alone make up 7 epic minutes of this 37 minute album...the rest was very very solid bluesy rock.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Apr 04 2025

Equal parts awesome and annoying. SO much organ and droning.

Diamond Life by Sade
Apr 05 2025

Good chill vibes. Smooth Operator is an all timer. Album is very good.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Apr 06 2025

Sounds like one of the original jam bands. Sounded great , songs were meh.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Apr 07 2025

Just an excellent blues album.....sounded a lot older than the 70's, in the best way.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 08 2025

Love me some Steely Dan - this one is great, not quote their best. Few new tunes for me.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Apr 09 2025

I dig Elvis Costello - but another 15 songs? They all kinda sound the same as the last album....and the one before that....and the other one before that....

Copper Blue by Sugar
Apr 11 2025

Standard boring 90's rock.

GI by Germs
Apr 13 2025

16 songs....I got the gist in 16 seconds. Not interested in more mediocre punk.

Apr 14 2025

Intense. Dark. Emotional. One epic tune. Hard to rate this one. Depends on how you feel about this type of emo music. I for one could use less of it in my life....I prefer it during movies if at all.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Apr 15 2025

Post-punk sounds the same as punk with deeper lyrics and longer songs.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Apr 16 2025

Very unique and very good. Not my favorite style, but very listenable.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Apr 17 2025

Fun hard rock album....influential to someone maybe? Was good.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Apr 18 2025

Good square dancing music....or Nashville styled band music. Would never just put it on

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Apr 19 2025

Spirited and noisy.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Apr 20 2025

Glad I listened to more than just the opening synthesizer 80's sounding tune. Way more depth and styles that expected and pretty good overall.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Apr 21 2025

A seminal album of my youth that still brings it.

Music by Madonna
Apr 23 2025

Pretty good stuff - great stuff if you like being in a dance club.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Apr 24 2025

Can hear the Beatles influence. Kind of like a poor mans Oasis. They were very solid.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Apr 25 2025

If not for the song Heaven this pop schlock would be a 1. He has a great voice, somewhere between a young Elton John and a poor mans Freddy Mercury, the songs just suck.

Pink Flag by Wire
Apr 26 2025

20 songs in 30 minutes.....reminiscent of a Ramones album. Not AS good but pretty solid.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Apr 27 2025

Just sounded like bad Duran Duran

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Apr 28 2025

Very reminiscent of Paul Simons Graceland album.....faintly.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 30 2025

Typical Bruce album. Epic tune and a bunch of stuff that is kinda similar. All good, just relentlessly Bruce.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
May 01 2025

An 80's version of Joni Mitchell. I dislike Joni Mitchell

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
May 02 2025

Not sure how I missed this one completely - its very good! Short lived band I learned...too bad.

Skylarking by XTC
May 03 2025

Dear God and nothing else.....not sure why this one was included.

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 04 2025

Just an outstanding album, for me.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 05 2025

Just an awesome dynamic rock band I wish I knew sooner....great album.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
May 06 2025

4 dreamscape songs that would be good if you like that kinda stuff I guess.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
May 07 2025

Classic. First few songs are iconic.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
May 09 2025

If folky Irish sounding country bar bands are your jam - these guys kill it.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
May 11 2025

Quite enjoyable as well (perfect after some Sinatra)

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
May 12 2025

All over the place and anxiety inducing. Sounded like a well trained musician had a blast in a fun house studio and made a bunch of short tunes of every sound he could imagine. If he were my friend, it would be cool.....he is not.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 13 2025

Way better than I expected.....more than just a one hit wonder. I was dubious since one of their other albums on this list was a stinker. This one surprised.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
May 14 2025

Felt like an Austin Powers skit that turned mushy and weak.

The Man Who by Travis
May 15 2025

Soft mushy 90's rock.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
May 16 2025

The man that brought reggae to the world with Bob...he's a half step behind.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
May 17 2025

Sounded like a soundtrack to a modern dance show I wouldn't want to see.

Woodface by Crowded House
May 18 2025

This album was pretty solid - their hits were good. Back half of the album got snoozy.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
May 19 2025

If you told me it was from the 40's, I'd give it a 2 for effort.....but this is modern!? Crap. Its crap.

The White Room by The KLF
May 20 2025

Not sure how, but some of it was familiar. Pretty good actually, Prodigy lite.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
May 21 2025

This one came out of nowhere for me....never heard of them, or thought I hadn't. Great album. "Best Gay Album of all time" in 2006....I can see it.

The Predator by Ice Cube
May 22 2025

Never listened to this whole thing before but somehow knew a lot of it. 3 epic all timers and a whole lotta N-words. Forgot how good of a rapper he was (only see him as an actor anymore)

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
May 23 2025

Love these guys. No one like 'em. Modern day Robin Hood music

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
May 24 2025

Holy shit was this irritating!!!!!!!!!

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
May 25 2025

Happy to say I don't have to listen to this sad shit anymore.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
May 26 2025

Man that guitar sound is unmistakable and glorious. 2 epic tunes and a couple more great ones. The whole album is so great....just not quite a 5 for me.

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 28 2025

Probably the best debut album ever (looking at you Lynard Skynard)

Liquid Swords by GZA
May 29 2025

Love GZA and the rest of Wu-Tang. They all get better and better with each listen.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
May 30 2025

Shining Start is an all timer - the rest of the album was good at best, soft.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
May 31 2025

Not my jam. Soft poppy....could no get thru much of it.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jun 01 2025

If you like walking around feeling like you are in the Matrix - this is the album for you.

Metallica by Metallica
Jun 02 2025

May just be their best start to finish.

21 by Adele
Jun 03 2025

3 all time great songs (over 2 billion listens on each!!). She's just one of the greatest to ever do it.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jun 04 2025

Enjoyed this unique diverse album (can hear influences from so many styles). Good, not great....I like the band.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 06 2025

Didn't like it then don't like it now.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jun 07 2025

Just an all time album for me.

Jun 08 2025

Slow paced echo vocal love songs produced by Phil Spector and showcasing Dion from the Belmonts fame....zzzzzz.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jun 09 2025

Very pleasant. Chilled out Radiohead

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jun 12 2025

Tina (and her story) are awesome. She has a few hits and a whole lotta 80's nostalgia in sound and style.

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

I understand the significance and the history....I just never embraced the Beach Boy sound

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Jun 14 2025

These guys rocked! Never listened to them before. It was more hard rock than punk and maybe not what I expected.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jun 15 2025

Fun hard album to ride to.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jun 16 2025

Love this version of Lou Reed. Walk on the Wild Side is an all-timer but Satellite of Love may be my favorite song here.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jun 17 2025

Weird. Sounded underwater and muted yet hypnotic. Kinda liked it I think?

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jun 18 2025

I enjoy listening to this - not sure if its good or not by its stylistic standards? Sounds like the guy Peter Gabriel collaborated with.

Elastica by Elastica
Jun 19 2025

I only needed 3 songs - nothing was making this any better than a 2

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jun 20 2025

It was OK then irritating then even more irritating....then OK-ish. Just too much active listening.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jun 21 2025

Enjoyable smooth mellow and chill. Perfect background music.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jun 24 2025

Love a few songs just not the whole album

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jun 25 2025

Sounded dated, old and whiney. Seems like a facsimile of Florence and Bjork.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jun 28 2025

Such a fun album! Had me dancing and smiling the whole time. Will 100% play again

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 30 2025

Interesting. Unique. Each song was almost its own vibe. Will definitely listen to these guys again

Play by Moby
Jul 01 2025

Just always loved this album. Still do

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jul 03 2025

For every song I liked there were two I didn't. Some odd choices by talented musicians.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 04 2025

Aptly named and kind of endearing in a creepy melodic collaborative way. I didn't want to like it but kind of did.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jul 05 2025

Nope. Boring.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jul 06 2025

So much nostalgia. Still rocks.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Jul 07 2025

I'm a sucker for southern rock - or so I learned listening to these guys.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 08 2025

Nostalgic - not necessarily in a good way. Didn't like them much back then, still don't. The song making is good and all...the style just grates me

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jul 10 2025

Wimpy weak rock-lite

Faust IV by Faust
Jul 11 2025

No need to include this one.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jul 14 2025

One banger and some interesting cuts.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 16 2025

Amazing album that I remember being a little bit better.

The Band by The Band
Jul 17 2025

Very very very good. Two all time bangers in Up on Cripple Creek and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down....and a bunch of songs I never knew and really like (Jawbone, King Harvest).

Jul 19 2025

I think I dig acid rock under the right circumstances - otherwise it is a bit monotonous and at times irritating. This could have been Jefferson Airplane or Beach Boys or any band from that era.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jul 20 2025

Surprising, simplistic and pretty solid. Just too many songs!

Jul 21 2025

This style works for me when its just David Byrne,....this just isn't hitting. Feels silly and all over the map. Couldn't get thru it.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jul 22 2025

Interesting, Different. Albums like this are why I did this....new styles, countries of origin, just things that are different. This was very good.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 23 2025

I generally don’t care for this style of music, but this was interesting.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Young Ozzy's voice is so good. This was way more melodic and funky than dark.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jul 25 2025

What a voice on young Willie. Some great stuff here, but points off for it essentially being a cover album.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Jul 26 2025

Nope. From the first note I knew this was not for me.

Fun House by The Stooges
Jul 27 2025

Raw. Rock. Influential.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Jul 29 2025

It doesn't completely suck - I just don't get who listens to this stuff. Its intentionally weird to me.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Aug 02 2025

Only one of the 18 songs on this album was available - psychedelic Beatles sounding, unremarkable.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Aug 03 2025

Undeniable a production triumph. Robust sound. As much as I want to shit on it, its hard to....I just don't loooove it like the critics say I am supposed to.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Aug 04 2025

Had a fun time listening and reminiscing about a time period with this one. Wouldn't put it on - but wouldn't turn her off either.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Aug 05 2025

She sounds like the precursor to Natalie Merchant, et al.....meh.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Aug 07 2025

Really really good live album. Only knew two songs (all timers Surrender and I want you to want me) but enjoyed the whole thing.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Aug 08 2025

Raw but tender was a great description. Varied rock. Largely pleasant....30 songs (12 bonus tracks) and 2 hours is a bit much

Connected by Stereo MC's
Aug 11 2025

Arrested Development adjacent. Very good.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Aug 12 2025

Arguably the best first song of an album ever. Great bluesy Stones.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Aug 13 2025

Beautifully recorded. Undeniable greatness. Smooth and easy listening.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Aug 14 2025

I just don't get him....or at least how he has so many albums. Wish he would just clear his throat and calm down a bit.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Aug 16 2025

Its good and polished and listenable, but......it just isn't for me at all.

Harvest by Neil Young
Aug 17 2025

An undeniable 5 star album with 5 great (albeit slow) songs. Easily his best album.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Aug 18 2025

One long epic jam and a bunch of unmemorable psychedelic rock background. I am getting fatigue from this genre.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Aug 19 2025

I appreciate the vituoso - but can also get tired of the horn. I appreciate the electric guitar and jams (sounded like the Beastie Boys) but don't understand it! I think I like it, but then I don't.....fucking Jazz.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Aug 20 2025

Unremarkable boring Pop with two decent tunes.

Hms Fable by Shack
Aug 21 2025

Oasis light.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Aug 22 2025

Great opener - stayed one note. He's great. Album is fine.

Traffic by Traffic
Aug 24 2025

Really good almost all of the way thru. Better than expected

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Aug 25 2025

Not usually my type of music but this was very chill funky and interesting. James bond movie esque

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Aug 26 2025

Chill album. Kinda enjoyed it as a background

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Aug 27 2025

Chill reggae ish vibes. Scottish? Odd.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Aug 29 2025

Didn't know what to expect here - never heard of 'em. Well, nice to meet you :) Diverse, interesting, well produced. It will make my rotation.

Electric by The Cult
Aug 30 2025

Good hard rock that I never knew existed (or never bothered listening to because I thought the were the Cure). My bad.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Aug 31 2025

Not my favorite Talking Heads. Felt a bit experimental and frenetic at times. It was a well constructed album, just a bit long and lacked some of that pop simplicity they do so well.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 01 2025

The Cure light - very light.

xx by The xx
Sep 02 2025

A couple of notable tunes I knew and dug. Chill and well produced.

Sep 03 2025

Very serious melodic sometimes trippy and pretty damned good overall. No one song that stands out

Kid A by Radiohead
Sep 04 2025

It was a one note album. I was prepared to be dazzled. I was not.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Sep 05 2025

Just an all time classic - signature sound - almost like a novelty act.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Sep 06 2025

Peaches En Regalia gets better and better with age. I am a Zappa fan, but can see how its too much for some.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Sep 07 2025

Good. Just moody and way too long. Like an amazing bar band.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Sep 08 2025

Never listened to him before. Very good. Lots of styles and sounds. Song writing is solid. Why are there so many songs on this double album!?! 33!? It started to drag the overall rating down the more I listened.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Sep 09 2025

Political spoken word rap by Michael Franti!!! Never knew him before his solo guitar driven stuff - this was pretty awesome. Like finding a deep cut

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Sep 10 2025

21 friggin songs. None blew me away - all were solid rock tunes. Such a great voice.

Pump by Aerosmith
Sep 11 2025

This album rocks. 4 all time tunes - cheesy or not.

Destroyer by KISS
Sep 12 2025

I know they are a Parody band - but do they? Spinal Tap writes better songs.

Sep 13 2025

Super solid Hip Hop - and it seems like I am the only one that listened to it. Under 10K hits on most of the songs.

Sep 14 2025

Pretentious and long winded and uniquely YES. Piercing and complicated and occasionally engaging.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Sep 15 2025

Kind of one note. Not a bad note, just mundane and dark. Great song writer - if you like this stuff.

Sep 16 2025

Love when an album is not what you expected. Their most pop tuned "Cut Your Hair" wasn't even the best song on the album

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Sep 17 2025

Never heard of these guys, specifically at least. Pretty generic 60's music. Could've been and Austin Powers movie track or the Monkee's

Dust by Screaming Trees
Sep 18 2025

I wanted to like it more.....Queens of the Stoneage is better :)

Eagles by Eagles
Sep 20 2025

3 all time tunes and a bunch of stuff I never heard before for a reason.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Sep 21 2025

Bitter sweet Symphony is an all timer - the rest was very very solid too. Reminiscent of Radiohead/Oasis......clearly of the same era. A pretty solid era!

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Sep 22 2025

YES! Rock albums just don't get much better.

Horses by Patti Smith
Sep 23 2025

Fierce, intense, powerful voice as advertised. Wish she had better songs.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Sep 24 2025

Its just not possible to follow-up Songs in the Key of Life. His production is impeccable and THE standard. Just no all time songs on this one.

Debut by Björk
Sep 25 2025

Interesting and way more diverse and talented than I ever gave credit. No one song stood out, a none of them got too weird.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Sep 26 2025

New to me and very good! Grabbed me from the first song and kept it rolling. Chill style, good grungy sound, just no bangers.

Lost Souls by Doves
Sep 27 2025

"The perfect after-hours soundtrack" - agree.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Sep 28 2025

So smooth. Not many better with just a guitar and their voice. Album was OK

Protection by Massive Attack
Sep 29 2025

Cool and slick. Like a soundtrack to an after hours thriller in Europe featuring a Sade imposter.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Sep 30 2025

British to its core - I hear the Beatles, the Kinks, Oasis, the Who all in a 60's rock opera that is kinda OK. Its no Tommy.....which I agree was absolutely influenced by this!

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Oct 01 2025

Respect. Not for me. A bit cheesy movie soundtrack from a rom com.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Oct 02 2025

Lo-fi Beatles wannabe sound. Didn't grab me.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Oct 03 2025

Started with an all time mushy song and got mushier and mushier until I couldn't take it anymore.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Oct 04 2025

I was not digging this album until the song Aisha, it saved this from being pretty weak.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Oct 05 2025

First time I listened to it through and yeah, I see why its supposedly his best album.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Oct 06 2025

Caught me off guard - very good! Heavy. Evanescence before they existed :)

Dry by PJ Harvey
Oct 07 2025

Awful album cover - boring album.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 09 2025

Love. Not all of it, but its an easy album to press play and before you know it its over....but you're smilin :)

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 11 2025

Soft man synthy dance crap

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Oct 12 2025

So many songs and so good too. Poor guy had to get over two hours of music out in a debut album he was so cooped up :)

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Oct 13 2025

Ace of Spades is as good as it gets...the rest is really really good speed metal with an iconic front man. Lemmy's voice was one of a kind.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Oct 14 2025

80's punk, rock, super solid band I never heard of. Better than most and really good for a genre I just don't love or miss.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Oct 15 2025

Love Snoop. Love the effortless chill flow and authenticity. Love what he became. Love a few songs on here - but a lotta fluff in between sucks.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Oct 16 2025

Nope.....just nope.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Oct 17 2025

5 out of 5. No notes. Put it on Friday and it played on loops thru the weekend.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Oct 18 2025

We'll never know if we can't listen!

The Libertines by The Libertines
Oct 20 2025

Mushy emo poppy schlock

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Oct 21 2025

Really interesting and before its time. All over the place stylistically with no standout tunes, just good.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Oct 22 2025

Too many songs that were less than good, but an otherwise pretty good unique brit rap sound. Sounds like out takes from a Guy Ritchie movie.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Oct 23 2025

Instrumental 80's video game music.

Closer by Joy Division
Oct 24 2025

Couldn't get thru a single song

Ctrl by SZA
Oct 26 2025

Love her voice, not her style.

Suicide by Suicide
Oct 27 2025

Before its time - you can hear the influences in here.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Oct 29 2025

Great sound, great song writing, varied nuanced styles, just no bangers.

Timeless by Goldie
Oct 30 2025

I read a comment that it was perfect music for coding - I would agree. I also don't code.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Oct 31 2025

Solisbury Hill is an all timer and the rest was theatrical and eclectic and pretty solid. Not sure I'd put it on, but I appreciate his first solo effort.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Nov 01 2025

Think this may be my favorite Dylan album. Great sound, understandable and melodic. L

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Nov 02 2025

Good solid listenable Jazz. Nothing special or particularly African about it.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Nov 06 2025

With all due respect to her impeccable talent....no thank you.

Tical by Method Man
Nov 07 2025

Dark and melodic and pretty awesome.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Nov 08 2025

She's no Cheryl Crow, and I don't care too much for Cheryl Crow.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Nov 09 2025

More melodic than I would've thought but his monotonous tone grates.

Nov 12 2025

Heard them described as white people music......its apt.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Nov 13 2025

A very refined version of what people know and love...I am not one of those people.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Nov 14 2025

Not on Spotify for some reason. Pretty good, not too annoying pre-techno grooves.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Nov 15 2025

Way more listenable than I anticipated.

Spiderland by Slint
Nov 17 2025

Harmonic 90s rock sound was fun and interesting

Nov 19 2025

Respect, enjoyable, diverse enough to not be one note but not enough to keep me dialed in...Sweet Dreams is an all timer, points for that.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 20 2025

3/7 all time tunes and 33 minutes - recipes for a solid rating. Just not a huge fan or it'd be higher.

Nov 21 2025

I only knew his hits.....but the rest is way better than I thought. You can hear all of his rhymes, its novel.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Nov 22 2025

Very very good. Unique, interesting, melodic, soulful and authentic.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Nov 24 2025

Just outstanding background music for anything. Impecccable

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Nov 25 2025

Surprised I liked them. Post-punk pre-80's pop-rockish. Can hear the influences taken by later acts. Solid.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Nov 26 2025

I pumped a lot or iron in my teen years to this very album. Its still kicks ass. I gotta go lift :)

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Nov 27 2025

More funk jazz to me than world or Nigerian sounding. Songs are long but keep ya moving. Great album to cook or clean the house to

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Nov 28 2025

Stellar opening to an album....Tiny Dancer, Levon....the rest was a deep dive into Elton I never took. Was fine.

More Specials by The Specials
Nov 29 2025

I think I like Ska music, just not this album all that much.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Nov 30 2025

No single song stuck out to me - but with this band, the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Such a vibe and such a great sound. Groovy and funky and awesome production.

Tago Mago by Can
Dec 02 2025

Had an interesting lo-fi college band vibe. Kind of noisy background and not really catchy. Not understanding any lyrics may be a reason, or maybe its the 18, 17 and 11 minutes jams.

All Directions by The Temptations
Dec 03 2025

I thought they were a doo-wop group. No idea they had this much funk. Motown did it right!

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Dec 04 2025

I generally like Zappa.....just not this much. I know his stuff toes the line between parody and political social satire with musical excellence.....this just ain't his best.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 05 2025

HIs rapping is coherent and melodic and pretty good....just too much fluff in between songs on the album, makes it a tough listen.

Repeater by Fugazi
Dec 06 2025

A surprise one for me. Never heard of them, glad I have now. Post punk rock is spot on. Tight band, some great times.....just too many. I think this album would grow on me over time.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 07 2025

Easily their best start to finish in my eyes.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Dec 10 2025

Better than most Bowie - but still Bowie.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Dec 11 2025

Very pleasant smooth stylings. Greta background for cooking

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Dec 12 2025

Lo grade Beyonce - even the collabs with Anderson Paak and HER were only OK (and the best songs on eth album). Spoken work interludes suck.

Dec 13 2025

This album is the exact median of this exercise. Its solid. They have a sound. Lo-fi with hi-fi production. Its good.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Dec 14 2025

I liked it. Short. Great "world" sound.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Dec 15 2025

Interesting punk with other noticeable influences of other genres. I dug it more than I usually do.

Dec 16 2025

Their best in my eyes. Undeniably amazing. First 6 songs are ALL all-timers. 8 of 11 are just amazing.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Dec 17 2025

More than just disco....but still mostly disco.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Dec 18 2025

Qawwali music rocks. What a voice. No idea what he's saying, but that probably helps it. Great productive background music.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Dec 19 2025

Unnecessary mushy man pop rock crap.

So by Peter Gabriel
Dec 20 2025

I didn't love it back in the day - too poppy. Its aged well in my eyes (see what I did there)

D by White Denim
Dec 21 2025

New to me and totally awesome. Jam band adjacent, or maybe not? Dunno, just enjoyed the sound. I'll revsisit for sure.

1977 by Ash
Dec 22 2025

Melodic garage pop sounding band I never heard of. Dug 'em.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Dec 23 2025

Boring droning flat off key schlock.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Dec 24 2025

Her voice stops me in my tracks. So powerful. No one like her and the songs kick ass. I didn't expect to love this as much as I did.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Dec 25 2025

Authentic salsa music had me moving round the office.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Dec 26 2025

I get the love. Good album with a couple of great songs.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Dec 27 2025

All the songs sound the same - and I don't care for this industrial styled electronic sounding looped drum machinery nonsense.

Dec 28 2025

If you like this type of music, you probably love this guy. Easy and effortless sounding. I just do not dig it.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Dec 29 2025

An insufferable music teacher gone mad.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Dec 30 2025

Strong interesting heavy rock. Nothing stood out but nothing bored me either.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Dec 31 2025

Never heard of these guys - or at least don;t remember. Epitome of 90's rock...which apparently according to my rankings is my wheelhouse.

Parklife by Blur
Jan 01 2026

Despite the comps to Oasis (UK and era) these guys do not compare...at all. You can hear the same influences but the sound and songwriting aren't in the same stratosphere. I read that first, then listened, probably a mistake...if one was a fan of this crap.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Jan 02 2026

Glad she made the list. Album was fine. I didn’t listen to a lot of it just dated boring.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jan 03 2026

Good just not as upbeat as I would’ve liked to hear him sing.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jan 04 2026

New to me. Very good, not great. Almost lo-fi. Kinda poppy. Totally 70's.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Jan 05 2026

Just nope.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 06 2026

3 all time songs - 12 songs in under 30 minutes. Both make for a very above average album, even if its a bit melancholic feeling.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jan 07 2026

Ethereal is the perfect word to describe this music. It is a mood I do not seek often if ever.

Jan 08 2026

I am a Coldplay Stan admittedly. 2 all time epic songs, 2 more massive hits. Even the deeper cuts are written well...hard not to give this a 5.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 09 2026

Epitome of 90's rock - solid, unremarkable

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jan 10 2026

Steely Dan adjacent.....I am sure he can tell you the very important differences in his solo work, it just sounds like Steely Dan. Which doesn't suck.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jan 11 2026

Strong 70's sound - if you didn't tell m who it was, I would've need 25 guesses before I came up with these guys.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jan 13 2026

Brazilian stoner music. Didn't grab me at first...gave it a second listen and didn't hate it.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jan 14 2026

African rock with Ginger Baker. The documentary this is from should be a cool watch.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Jan 15 2026

Dated ok rock that sounds like show tunes by a band I never heard of because, it ain't that good.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jan 16 2026

Undeniable talent. A few epic songs. 22 songs is just too many and her style can get irritating.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Jan 17 2026

I know and like Fishbone - this album just didn;'tt hit tho

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jan 18 2026

Sounded like a group of music teachers and their "cool" music.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jan 19 2026

I kinda liked it? Beautiful People is a banger. The rest is quintessential 90's sound. I get it. Don't love it. Kinda like it on the background of the gym maybe. Not sure why this is conflicting. Its a 2. Moving on.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jan 20 2026

Speed metal! My first dive into ministry and they’re pretty damn good.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jan 21 2026

Interesting. Not as heavy as the name may suggest, very diverse, nothing that stuck....or that made me want to turn it off.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Jan 23 2026

Decent psychedelic styled folksy tunes

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 24 2026

12 songs in under 30 minutes - I applaud them. Dense efficient song writing. A few of all time tunes save this album otherwise....its kinda boring

Queen II by Queen
Jan 25 2026

This album rocks! I didn't know a single song. Albums like this are what makes this whole exercise worthwhile. I'll revisit this one for sure.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Jan 26 2026

I equal parts like and dislike, enjoy and hate. Its odd.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 27 2026

Hard separating the art from the artist. Undeniable pop relevance....all time tunes......its just, I dunno, I cant separate it completely, if at all.....the guy molested kids and this is the only place I can penalize that.

Jan 28 2026

Very good, chill, well put together. I dug the #1 album from the year I was born.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jan 29 2026

This was fine. Not a fan of the style per se, but it was varied enough. 15 songs is too many.

The Clash by The Clash
Jan 30 2026

I like the Clash a lot. More than just angry punk. Album was a departure from what I thought knew. Its still punk tho.

Atomizer by Big Black
Jan 31 2026

Noisy, driving punk rock. Not bad, just gotta be in the mood for it. Had my HR jumping

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Feb 01 2026

New to me. Unique. Pretty good. Need to hear more from them.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Feb 02 2026

Nope. I don't know that I like anything Brian Eno is involved with.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Feb 03 2026

Been a long while since I gave this whole album a listen.....forgot how great it was. May be my second fav after Physical Graffiti

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Feb 04 2026

A real masterpiece. Beginning to end with a couple of all time tunes on there to boot.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Feb 05 2026

This vaulted Missy to the Queen of hip-hop for me. This album was crafted! Who else could get 50 cent, Jay Z, Beyonce, TLC, Ludacris and Method Man. Loved it.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Feb 06 2026

She is indeed worthy of all the praise.....so good.

Hotel California by Eagles
Feb 07 2026

Great album - almost all of the songs and of course the epic ones.

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 08 2026

I liked it more than I thought I would....closer to a 4 than a 2.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Feb 09 2026

Had a weird Japanese 70's MMW feel to it. The repetition and length made it a hard listen tho. I couldn't get thru it.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 10 2026

Her hit songs are awesome - the rest is a bit sad

Feb 11 2026

He's great. A true OG. Couple of all time tunes and a lot of very solid old school vibes. Respect, I'm just not personally throwing it on for a listen.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Feb 12 2026

Just a sad album. Literally. My son asked that stop playing it while he was home.....and then asked why am I bothering?

Infected by The The
Feb 13 2026

Weak. Was bummed because the last one of their albums on here kicked ass. This one was epitome of the 80's at its worst.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Feb 14 2026

Lovely voice and an epic song earn some respect. Otherwise just generic R&B lady crooing.

Scum by Napalm Death
Feb 15 2026

Loud, noisy, fast, seldom melodic, fun for working out and not much else for me.

Aja by Steely Dan
Feb 16 2026

Just recording studio excellence on display. Love this album

1989 by Taylor Swift
Feb 18 2026

I think I may be a Swifty. A few bangers I knew (everyone does) and a bunch of other really good songs. I'm in.

Vivid by Living Colour
Feb 26 2026

An all time personal favorite - very biased here.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Feb 27 2026

This one surprised me. Thought it was Shaft. Funky Motown. I dug it!

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Feb 28 2026

Fine. Dated, solid. Never heard them before, but have if ya know what I mean. Lo-end CSN meets Janice Joplin type stuff.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Mar 01 2026

Its like the B-52's, the Go-Go's and Bjork were all in one band - that I don't wanna listen too, but respect.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Mar 02 2026

Thoughtful, pensive, soft Swifty is not my favorite Swifty. I like scorned angry pop rocking Swifty.

In Utero by Nirvana
Mar 03 2026

Heavier, moodier, 3-4 bangers, yet doesn't move me the way In Bloom did.

90 by 808 State
Mar 04 2026

More dreamscape video game electronica crap. There is certainly talent here, just feels robotic and bland.

Synchronicity by The Police
Mar 05 2026

4-5 epic all-time songs make this album a 5...even if the lesser known songs were kinda weak.

Mar 06 2026

My man has one hell of a voice. Freedom is a banger. I kinda dig his acoustic stuff. He's deep.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Mar 07 2026

Bland blues with some Clapton genius sparsely sprinkled in. And I like the blues. And Clapton. Dunno....this just didnt hit.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Mar 08 2026

Sad sack mumble baritone man music sucks.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Mar 09 2026

Loved it. Not entirely what I expected, way more guitar and jam band like flows than funky blues. Just very very very good!

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Mar 10 2026

I just love cooking to Miles Davis, always have. Beef Bourguignon this go round :)

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Mar 11 2026

I don;t know why I am reluctant to give this a 5. It has 4-5 bangers. I just have owned this album since it came out and have never put it on...must be a reason?

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Mar 12 2026

Very interesting good band. Dug the whole album

Soul Mining by The The
Mar 13 2026

A polarizing band for me. I loved their first album, hated the second, and was split on this one. I hated the songs that sounded like Oingo Boingo, but loved Uncertain Smile.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Mar 14 2026

No thank you.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Mar 15 2026

I spent so much time listening to Nothings Shocking I forgot what a gem this one is too. Sofa king good.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 16 2026

I don't like Nick Cave's music. There. I said it.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Mar 17 2026

They are so damned underrated.

High Violet by The National
Mar 18 2026

Really good lo-fi sounding familiar rock. I don't know that I ever heard them before, but I won't turn 'em off now.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Mar 19 2026

She's fine. A bit morose and boring.

Mar 20 2026

Sounds exactly like the cover of the album looks. Some good square dancing tunes n here (if that's even still a thing). I didn't need to listen to much of this.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Mar 21 2026

Smooth and sexy and a solid album front to back.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Mar 22 2026

White Reggae :) Love the Police's sound. Virtuosos. But for some reason, their album isn't as good as their best songs if that makes sense.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Mar 23 2026

Psychedelic heavy metal. I dug it. Raw.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf

His voice is one of a kind. This album is fun and nostalgic and pretty damned solid. Theatrical rock.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Mar 26 2026

Super solid 60's stylings....Spinning Wheel is a banger.

Mar 27 2026

A couple of all time bangers got this album here - the rest is a lotta stuff this white boy wouldn't listen to

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Mar 29 2026

WTF?? Noises.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Mar 30 2026

I didn't realize how good he was - not diverse but a voice like no other. No bangers but coherent and entertaining.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Mar 31 2026

So powerful just not very diverse. Great songs and other songs that sounded similar but weren't as good.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Apr 01 2026

Its like David Bowie and King Crimson made a shitty album.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Apr 02 2026

First listen to this seemingly run of the mill psychedelic 60's rock. Solid yet unspectacular or really moving.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Apr 03 2026

New to me. Dug a lot of the song writing and guitar sounds. Very solid. Made it thru the whole thing (which says a lot lately)

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Apr 04 2026

Good music if you want to zone out and think. Non descript (until the latter part of this kind of dull album).

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Apr 05 2026

Masterful guitar work.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Apr 06 2026

Being honest with myself, even good New Wave music won't get any higher than a 3 from me.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Apr 07 2026

Way better than I thought it would be. Each song is like a dark show tune (without sounding like a show tune), like stories. Solid.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Apr 08 2026

A really good polished professional album with a great consistent sound....that I just don't yearn for, but appreciate.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Apr 09 2026

Very good, very solid dreary album that sounded like it was recorded in a gym lockeroom shower.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Apr 10 2026

This is one of those albums I am supposed to love but just don't. Dark and moody and just not my jam.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Apr 11 2026

A relentless show tune poppy annoyingly chipper group of songs I don't want to hear anymore.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Apr 12 2026

Like stepping into a Guardians of the Galaxy movie soundtrack....and I love that movie soundtrack :)

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Apr 13 2026

Such serious perfect music. Almost a little solemn,. 3-4 epic all time tunes.....just not exactly lighthearted or fun.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Apr 14 2026

Really pretty acoustic mushy man rock.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Apr 15 2026

Never put him on before. Familiar and fun. I probably couldn't tell any of his albums apart. Its all just smiling feel good music that makes you move. Tito will get in rotation at my house now.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Apr 16 2026

Haunting Jazz. 2 songs - 38 minutes - kind of weird. Kind of Blue was more my speed I suppose.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Apr 17 2026

Good "club" beats I suppose - if you like that sorta thing.

Wild Gift by X
Apr 18 2026

I can see why this punk album was well received. It was good. They should've been bigger than the B-52's.....better voices.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Apr 19 2026

Energetic and annoying as hell.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Apr 21 2026

So good grooves and interesting samples - but not enough.

Different Class by Pulp
Apr 22 2026

New to me, not sure how I missed them all together. I knew the song Common People (probably from a movie?) Not ,my style, but a very solid interesting album.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 23 2026

Not usually a fan of him, but this album was pleasant and catchy.

Nowhere by Ride
Apr 24 2026

Shoegazing - love it. New term to me and perfectly encapsulates this ethereal rock styling.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Apr 25 2026

176 songs is just too many...all average at best, kinda boring album.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Apr 26 2026

Surprising and interesting. A couple of duds stylistically but overall really good. Great guitar work.

Apr 27 2026

This album will make anyone dance! (Not available on Spotify - had to youtube it, annoying)

Quiet Life by Japan
Apr 28 2026

It was like discovering Duran Duran B-sides

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Apr 29 2026

Never heard of em - very generic pop sounding. Meh.

Arise by Sepultura
Apr 30 2026

Perfect mowing the lawn super fast music.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
May 02 2026

So smooth and a unique style. Just so filthy. Constantly. Would like to thin he would've evolved if was still with us. I hate the rap album interludes or this would rate higher.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
May 03 2026

B-side Oasis.....no Bittersweet Symphony....pretty forgettable.

May 04 2026

Really good, sad, nostalgic, memorable....just short of being a 5. Not every Cobain song moves me.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
May 07 2026

New to me and pretty damned good. The reviews made me believe this was gonna be sad man rock. It was not. Interesting and mildly unique. Sounds like someone that grew up on Pink Floyd.

Movies by Holger Czukay
May 09 2026

This was interesting to say the least. It was like he used every style and instrument he could find.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
May 10 2026

Controlled noise with occasional body moving grooves. Nothing memorable. Not my favorite Radiohead

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
May 11 2026

Never heard this album. It's typically impeccable. 6 new to me songs...will need to give this album more of a listen.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
May 12 2026

90's punk version of the Ramones. Fun.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
May 13 2026

Almost interesting, noisy, whiney....not for me, but better than Sonic Youth

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 14 2026

So irritating - couldn't get through a single song. Once he starts singing.....

Trio by Dolly Parton
May 15 2026

The voices and harmonies are breathtaking at times....the songs themselves, not so much unfortunately.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
May 17 2026

Undeniably one of the all time great guitarists with an all-time Sultans of Swing. Even when the songs aren't great, slowhand is.

May 18 2026

Strong album!!! Maybe never got past the first 3 songs in the past - I should have. Gotta play this one alone if I want to sing along tho :)

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
May 20 2026

This was a very pleasant surprise. The album cover art left no clues to this gritty lo-fi rockabilly-esque gem

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
May 21 2026

Terrific voice - but a whole album worth? Meh.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
May 22 2026

Every theatrical composition could be the score to its own movie. He really does have a niche. A whole album of basically show tunes way too much. I couldn’t get through it.

Arrival by ABBA
May 23 2026

So highly rated and beloved - Dancing Queen is an all timer - the rest was just the same shit over and over. I couldn't get thru it.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
May 24 2026

I know I am supposed to go Gaga for this album. I get the concept. I appreciate his greatness. After What’s Going On it was ok

British Steel by Judas Priest
May 25 2026

Polished awesome metal with unique phrasing and sweet story telling - I never gave them a fair listen.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 27 2026

Noisy, lo-fi-ish, rocking and interesting. A bit of an assault on the senses. Maybe not great background music for doing tasks.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
May 28 2026

Was gonna hate on it a bit, but really couldn't. Son of a Preachers man is an all timer thanks to Tarantino. She's good. Songs are fine.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
May 29 2026

With all due respect to the Pop icon status, I just can't.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
May 30 2026

This music sucks. I tried.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
May 31 2026

Its like a secret album that no one has ever heard. Only one song (the first) has over 100,000 listens on Spotify which is obscenely low...the lowest maybe of all the albums thus far. It's pretty. I guess. Showtuney vocals. Not my jam. At all.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Jun 01 2026

Nostalgic college band. Back part of the album got a bit spacey but the raw grungy stuff was good

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jun 02 2026

I may call them the best Shoegazing band of all (I just learned that term). His vocals are an instrument onto itself, the unique sounds and phrasing almost better than the lyrics. I'm turning around on them being overrated.

Jun 03 2026

Phenomenal artist. Unique. Filthy. Misogynistic. Satirical. Unapologetic. Funny.

The Visitors by ABBA
Jun 04 2026

I just can't with these guys.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jun 05 2026

Solid funky background music. Almost 2 man mushy.

Medúlla by Björk
Jun 06 2026

She's talented and unlistenable all at once.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Jun 09 2026

Fast. Loud. Pretty awesome. I'm a fan.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jun 10 2026

Easily their best. Harmony at its best. All time songs. Easy 5

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Jun 11 2026

Surprised me, dig the soulful stylings and well written songs.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 12 2026

Such a fantastic album. Listened to it twice. Love her power and soulful emotion.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Jun 13 2026

Wow what an album. Polished raw rock. Great sound and 3 all time bangers.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jun 14 2026

This is easily my favorite of the always hyped Radiohead albums.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 15 2026

Never heard but will again! Album was awesome. Old school sounds refreshed (even if it was 20 years ago - its new to me!)

Jun 16 2026

Kinda dug this one. A bit long and some of teh in between song nonsense brings the rating down for me. But the depth of lyrics, story telling and various guest appearances by just about everyone puts this one right up there.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jun 17 2026

Never liked their sound...still don't. Irritating whiney punkish rock.

Jun 18 2026

Psychedelic 60's rock to country, um, pass. Polished and pleasant but no.

Low by David Bowie
Jun 20 2026

Unpopular opinion, but the more I listen to Bowie, the less I like him. Too much experimenting with sounds and styles and instruments and self indulged crap, its hard to sift thru it all to find the good shit.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jun 21 2026

Notorious for being mediocre in the studio, I actually really enjoyed this album.

Close To You by Carpenters
Jun 22 2026

Folk personified. Almost country-ish. Made me put on Rod Stewart (Reason to Believe)

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jun 23 2026

Serious sad soulful unique and theatrical.

Third by Portishead
Jun 24 2026

I had higher hopes. Sad movie music is the best way I can describe it. It had moments.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jun 25 2026

So good, so angry, epic all time songs…undeniable pillar of pop culture.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jun 26 2026

Didn’t like them too much then and don’t.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jun 27 2026

She was like MIA's tamer monotone sister. Solid stuff.

Jun 28 2026

Love younger Rod singing about his slant eyed love. Couldn’t get away with that nowadays. Lothario personified

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jun 29 2026

Mushy man rock that sounded like it should have been from the 60's.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jul 01 2026

Unimpressive mushy pop rock. Kinda almost B52's - REM adjacent.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jul 02 2026

Citizen Cope meets GLove meets Sublime + very solid and right up my alley. Solid.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jul 03 2026

Doomed by how amazing their first album was.....this one fucks too :)

Homework by Daft Punk
Jul 04 2026

Just great music vibes.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jul 05 2026

This one is just great. Not Fade Away and That'll be the Day are all timers. Poster child for careers cut short.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jul 06 2026

I enjoyed the unique sounds, soulful melodies and incredible speed of this fantastic introduction to they Indian styled album provided..

Drunk by Thundercat
Jul 09 2026

R&B Yacht Rock. Whole album is a vibe. I'm in.
