Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 08 2024

I've never been a big fan of their sound even when it was new, and this is just waaaay too much of it.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 09 2024

Unique, but not my style.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 10 2024

Tay Tay is the BEST!

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Jan 11 2024

Interesting to listen to but I'm just not a fan of their vocal stylings.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 12 2024

I'd never listened to this before. It was really great to listen to it, but it's not something I'll listen to many more times.

Third by Soft Machine
Jan 15 2024

I may have gotten into them during the day, but they're not for me now. I did like some elements, but it wasn't cohesive for me to like as a whole.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 16 2024

Just a great record. Not a fan of Dead Flowers, but the rest is excellent.

Jan 19 2024

Excellent example and great performances. I wish I liked this kind of music. It's great to dance to, but I'm not a fan of just listening to it.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jan 20 2024

A true classic that never gets old. So much raw expression and talent.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 21 2024

I was never cool enough to know what a talent she was. Her timing and vocal expressions were very much her own. Such an amazing talent taken away way too soon.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jan 22 2024

I wasn't a fan of this. I do like her other music.

White Light by Gene Clark
Feb 13 2024

I prefer Glen Campbell's style

LP1 by FKA twigs
Feb 14 2024

Waaaaaay too low key/low energy/passive for me.

Boston by Boston
Feb 15 2024

Nothing but the best! This is one of the first albums I bought when I came back to the states as a kid.

Feb 16 2024

Great personality, wonderful band, but I just don't like his endless droning.

Low by David Bowie
Feb 17 2024
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Feb 18 2024

The backing music sounded muddy to me. Very fuzzy.

Kid A by Radiohead
Feb 23 2024
Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Feb 24 2024

Absolute classic. It doesn't get much better than this.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Feb 25 2024

I didn't like everything but there were a few songs that I liked quite a lot.

Tommy by The Who
Feb 28 2024

Absolute classic. It doesn't get any better than this. Lyrics and music are top notch!

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Feb 29 2024

Not my thing in many possible dimensions. Absolute anarchy in the music, and monotone vocals. Very uninteresting.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Mar 01 2024

I really liked a couple of the songs.

Arise by Sepultura
Mar 03 2024

Pretty monotonous. I might like it if I was 12.

Who's Next by The Who
Mar 04 2024

Absolute smash. Love it!

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Mar 06 2024

I didn't enjoy the first song, but the rest of the album was very enjoyable.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 07 2024
Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 09 2024
The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 11 2024

Not their best, but still a solid offering.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 14 2024
Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Mar 15 2024

Not my thing at all...

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Mar 16 2024

Amazing music. I wonder what they would have been like in the late 70s with more modern production? Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek do a fantastic job, but also Jerry Scheff is a wizard on the bass.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Mar 17 2024
Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Mar 18 2024

This has been a very pleasant unexpected surprise. Great voice and the music is almost symphonic. Very clean sound. Love it!

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 19 2024

In my top 15 of all time.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 23 2024
Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Mar 29 2024
Guero by Beck
Apr 06 2024
Palo Congo by Sabu
Apr 08 2024

I get it, but it hasn't really stood the test of time.

Be by Common
Apr 13 2024
Mott by Mott The Hoople

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
May 08 2024

It's classic, but I haven't enjoyed this music for a long time.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
May 09 2024

Another classic. Parts stand the test of time. Parts are timeless. Some brief parts not so much.

War by U2
Dec 31 2024
Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jan 05 2025

Classic. Gotta have the funk, indeed. They don't make them like this anymore.
