Some very pleasant, and some explicit rap

Pleasant and mildly electronic

Sounds like he was just noodling around while high

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Feb 01 2024

Sultry background music for a nightclub party, where everybody’s high

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Feb 08 2024

Phonetic, driven rhythms; cartoon-like voice

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Feb 09 2024

Very peaceful and interesting; surprisingly, not at all similar to the beach boys

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Feb 12 2024

Easier to listen to, and musically better than others in this genre

Feb 26 2024

Brilliant! What a rare combination of gifts!

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Feb 27 2024

What a fabulous, poet and songwriter, but who told him he could sing, John Prine?

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 28 2024

Terrific!

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Feb 29 2024

This one was painful to listen to.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Mar 01 2024

Interesting rhythms and melodies

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 04 2024

Fresh and energizing; clever lyrics

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 05 2024

Sometimes sounds a bit like Elton John; weird lyrics

Fresh, fun, and an amazing vocal range

The Coral by The Coral
Mar 08 2024

Interesting, but a bit repetitive

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Mar 11 2024

Sounds like a call and answer; cool rhythm and sounds but a bit repetitive

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Mar 18 2024

Very talented musician; it is just hard to separate his behavior from his musicianship.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jun 23 2025

Great, blues, just not particularly relaxing to listen to

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 25 2025

Brilliant! What a crime shame she died so young.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jul 02 2025

Occasionally, the guitar work was interesting, but other than that, there are no redeeming features.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jul 08 2025

Interesting listening

Jul 09 2025

This collection seems rather heavy on British rock from around 1990. A lot of it sounds the same.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jul 14 2025

Sounds anxious or antsy and yet repetitive.

Jul 15 2025

Everyone likes different types of music, but only their lovers or mothers could possibly pretend to like this!

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Jul 16 2025

Really good, but I like some of the Crosby Stills Nash and Young work better.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jul 18 2025

Pleasant background music, but all the tracks sound the same.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jul 21 2025

The lyrics are lame, but this has very nice instrumentals and vocals.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Interesting and innovative; good choice for today to mark Ozzy Osbourne‘s passing.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jul 29 2025

This style of jazz is puzzling to me because it doesn’t seem to go anywhere melodically, but it is nice background music.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jul 30 2025

Some intriguing rhythms/sounds, but rap just sounds so monotonous to me.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Aug 04 2025

Some of these songs are a bit boring, but some are refreshing, especially “Light“.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Aug 11 2025

Very enjoyable music. Another sad loss of a young artist.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Aug 18 2025

If you can produce songs like Down by the Seaside, Boogie with Stu, and Bron-Yr-Aur, why would you make those other noises?
