Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 08 2024

Really enjoyed this album, it wasn’t repetitive and had lots of variety. Super well composed/scored. Nothing really you’d tap your foot to, but mellow/emotional vibes throughout.

25 by Adele
Jan 09 2024

Listened to this album a lot. Adele’s songs are real powerful/uplifting. Great album.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jan 10 2024

So 80s, so fine. The album is a bit all over the place but I enjoyed it. Running up that hill is a banger. I really enjoyed cloud busting too. Under ice to me is a precursor to a lot of stuff you hear today. Under ice was a sleeper that I really enjoyed. The jig was out of no where but appreciated. Honestly the waking the witch one was pretty experimental but I didn’t mind it. Enjoyed this album and see how it shaped modern music but also distills the vibe of the 80s quite well

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jan 11 2024

This album is so good. I got turned into it by a podcast I heard years ago.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 15 2024

Piggy is my least favorite song. It sounds ok but the lyrics don’t do anything for me. I genuinely disliked it though. There are some fun synthesizer/electronic noises on this album. Coupled with the bass guitar is a vibe I’m very much into. Awesome album The song exploder for Hurt is awesome.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jan 16 2024

I like the more piano/rock songs on the album, I feel like it slowly morphs to blues/Jazz/beat nick and didn’t like that.

Forever Changes by Love
Jan 17 2024

Album was ok, nothing really stood out.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 22 2024

My fav songs from this album: Welcome to paradise Basket case Sassafras roots When I come around What a time to be alive.

Jan 23 2024

Grounds for divorce I have heard a lot of times, it was in a video game trailer or a movie. The album felt like it was gonna take off for me and be awesome. But it never really delivered. An audience with the Pope was the most boring song ever.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jan 24 2024

This album rocks. At first I thought it was a greatest hits album. Sooooo many good songs in this album.

Jan 25 2024

Favorite song :Words Least : sulphur man I listened to this album 3 times, every time I listened to it I liked it more. Pounding gives major Coldplay vibes.

Jan 26 2024

Lots of good songs on this album. I don’t know if I really enjoyed the live album experience. I didn’t realize I knew so many Nirvana songs.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 29 2024

This album has some bangers, but honestly as a whole it’s just ok. Definitely not the greatest Beatles album. The End is a banging tune that I wish there more Beatles songs like.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jan 30 2024

The first song “Queen is Dead” was probably a banger at the time. Mr Shankly was bleh. I’m sure this album was real big at the time, very 80s.

1984 by Van Halen
Feb 01 2024
Mothership Connection by Parliament
Feb 05 2024

Ya ever drink baileys out of a shoe? Ya funky, little man fish.

Sea Change by Beck
Feb 08 2024

Took a few songs to get its footing, but a real nice album. Kinda reminds me of like a modern day Neil young.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Feb 09 2024

Was really into the third song, second song lost me a little. Third song is dope. These guys just shred. I’m really into this album. Think this would have been better as 2 albums. It great through Hey Joni, then it shifts it’s tone a bit.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Feb 12 2024

Amazing.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 13 2024

I love heads will roll, some other songs were good but not that solid an album. This is an album I’d listen to maybe 3 songs of, skip through the rest.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Feb 14 2024

Garage/niche 90s rock for sure. Little punk but not great.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Feb 15 2024

While listening to this album I just am imagining the puffs of smoke at the music festival. Very mellow vibes, invokes summer and modern day Americana.

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 16 2024

Aside from like 2 good songs, honestly not a great album.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Feb 19 2024

This album rocks. Lots of hits that was on my old MP3 player. Starting off with Smells Like Teen Spirit really sets the tone for the album.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Feb 20 2024

Feel like I should be driving around my station wagon going to the arcade to smoke some doobies while listening to this album. The 80s teen angst is strong (teen angst was much different than 2000s teen angst)

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Feb 26 2024

Some of the cleanest guitar of the 80s. Every song is basically a satisfying delicious ear worm.

Tommy by The Who
Feb 29 2024

Never really listened to any who songs that weren’t the radio hits. If you listen to their lyrics they are pretty weird. But the guitar and harmonies are awesome.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Mar 01 2024

Old school Japandroids.

Synchronicity by The Police
Mar 04 2024

Aside from the like 2 hits album is meh.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Mar 05 2024

This album is really good. Very bluesy and Eric Clapton just shredding the guitar in each song. 2 minute guitar solo, yes please. Very emotional and raw, will listen to again.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Mar 06 2024

Ooooh Las Vegas is a fun song. Didn’t think I’d enjoy this but it was fun.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Mar 07 2024

Not my favorite slipknot album. Very angry.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Mar 14 2024

Quirky and more like a comedian playing a guitar. Not my cup of tea

Live! by Fela Kuti
Mar 26 2024

Funky groovy tunes. Surprised how much I enjoyed it

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Mar 27 2024

Decent but there are better Neil young albums out there.

Quiet Life by Japan
Mar 29 2024

80s vibes for the win.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Apr 01 2024

This would be a good live concert to go to, but to listen to at home 60 years later brings down the rating.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 12 2024

Really good album, with a couple heavy hitters

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 16 2024

I always thought steely Dan was budget Lynyrd Skynyrd but holy shit this isn’t what I expected at all.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Apr 19 2024

More 60s rock, not the psychedelic kind though which was nice. Honestly at times I got Andy McKee vibes since it’s largely instrumental just Bert serenading on the guitar.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Apr 22 2024

A bunch of good psychedelic 60 rock hits. Would recommend

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Apr 23 2024

Pretty standard 70s rock. I enjoy this much better than the beetles, none of the big hits you would know but solid throughout. If it had a hit it would be bumped up in stars.

Elastica by Elastica
Apr 24 2024

Very 90s. But not in the fun way. Weird how you always think 80s songs are so dated but the 90s really have the same quality.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
May 01 2024

Funky little album. Hits : Two weeks

Abraxas by Santana
May 02 2024

Man some goodies here Oye como Va Black magic woman Honestly an album I doubt you could give the name of the song or who sang them, but very recognizable. Good instrumental album

L.A. Woman by The Doors
May 03 2024

Some bangers/classic hits on this album. It’s kinda a stoners paradise. Hits include: Riders on the storm Love her madly L.A. Woman But it got some hits, the rest of the songs are kinda meh.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 09 2024

Lots of horns / woodwinds. Didn’t do much for me cause it was a pretty standard 80s British album (at least that’s what it sounded like). I was starting to get into it during the middle half of the album, but the start and ending fell flat for me.

May 10 2024

I love the drummer but this album is honestly meh. Sounds like standard non-descript metal music

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
May 13 2024

I’m sure this was a boo back in the day. 105.5 oldies vibes for sure. Not a bad album, just suffering from being so old

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
May 16 2024

Largely forgettable vintage 90s rock band. Wont give it another listen

Arular by M.I.A.
May 17 2024

Meh, not upset I listened to it but probably never listen to it again.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 20 2024

Oldie but a goodie. My brother Adam used to listen to this album before high school

May 30 2024

Wow what a journey! 2 hours is a hell of a long album but there are some bangers on here.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 31 2024

A nice album. Van Morrison has a real distinct sound

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jun 03 2024

Thought I would really enjoy it cause of Money for nothing and Walk of life, but honestly the album wasn’t interesting. It’s too slow, the lyrics are wacky. I struggled to finish the album

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 04 2024

I enjoyed it and glad I listened to it. It’s a silly raunchy album

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Jun 05 2024

This was a very enjoyable album. Would recommend.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jun 07 2024

Love me some Ryan adams

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jun 10 2024

Other than message I’m a bottle it’s meh.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jun 11 2024

Honestly this album was pretty dope. Did not expect it

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Jun 13 2024

Lyricless 60s Jazz isn’t for me. Musically I thought it was pretty decent, I just felt like my home turned into a speak easy.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jun 14 2024

Honestly I was surprisingly into this album. Was a lot more rock rifts and jamming than I expected. Definitely seems like some elements were taken by 80s rock and fully ran with. Surprise 5 star

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 17 2024

One of the best albums ever

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jun 24 2024

Good album. When listening through I was reminded of how much Franz Ferdinand I actually knew. Hits: Take me out Do you think his parents named him Franz Ferninand? If so were his parents German and Austrian? Or is he Franz from Ferdinand, Indiana?

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 26 2024

Slapping the bass. Funky tunes. Not quite magic ball of funk level but enjoyable.

Fun House by The Stooges
Jun 27 2024

Garage rock that rocks hard. But also has a saxophone? Having a saxophone is an understatement, it is heavily featured

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jul 01 2024

Damn they can really play the guitar. Honestly the singing on this album is the best of ZZ Top, my usual complaint is if they have a strong vocal lead they would be one of the best Rocj bands of all time

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 02 2024

The back half of this album is real strong, but I didn’t enjoy this Bruce album as much as the other one I previously listened to. This album breathes americana, glad it gave it to me around July 4th time. America!!!!

Third by Soft Machine
Jul 03 2024

Some experimental trippy shit.

Future Days by Can
Jul 04 2024

Pretty cool album. Really atmospheric and ambient.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jul 15 2024

Singing was awful, instrumentals were nice.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jul 16 2024

Definitely not into it like the other albums, but it has a cool album cover.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Jul 17 2024

A nice album. It’s really got that 90s sound and I’m here for it. This album was probably used in movies for the next 10 years and thousands of teenagers rocked this on road trips. It’s got a very nice sound, surprisingly really enjoyed it.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Jul 18 2024

Groovy little album. Took me a bit to get into, but I would probably listen to it again. Very 70s.

Da Capo by Love
Jul 19 2024

what a weird album. it's all over the place, the drums are pretty cool though.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jul 22 2024

I recognized some songs! Do it again Reelin in the Years Dirty work All in all I enjoyed it. Steely Dan is a weird product of 70s rock.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jul 23 2024

Cool folk album. Would recommend for Bradley for sure

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jul 24 2024

A bomb album.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Aug 13 2024

I didn’t know they still made music like this. Sounds like it’s straight out of the 80s and funky as hell.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Aug 15 2024

I was expecting something a little more hard core with the album cover and album name, but this shit is Glee version of metal. I think Bruce Springsteen could do a more metal album if he tried. I do appreciate the piano throughout the album. Piano is not very hardcore though.

Tago Mago by Can
Aug 16 2024

A little too experimental and psychedelic for me, first few songs were sweet then the acid trio starts.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Aug 19 2024

More rock and more fun than Elton John.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 20 2024

Each song was better than the one before it, if there was another album at that pace I probably would have liked it.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Aug 22 2024

Def Leppard basically greatest hits.

The Clash by The Clash
Sep 05 2024

Pretty good 70s Brit pop album. Would listen to again

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Sep 10 2024

This album has some bangers and is honestly really great.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Sep 17 2024

A 90s classic. Lots of recognizable songs and Alanis Morissette really has a unique sound. Don’t know if I’ll listen to it again but glad to have given it a listen. Hits : You Oughta know, Hand in my pocket, You learn, Head over feet, Ironic, and Wake Up.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Sep 26 2024

This is the Beatles I remember, not that purple submarine or I am the walrus psychedelic bull shit. But still overall I think the Beatles are over hyped.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Sep 27 2024

An old school rap album, probably the last of its kind before the Kanye/T-Pain rap wave. Hits : What’s Golden

Rio by Duran Duran
Sep 30 2024

So 80s, definitely danced to some of these songs at Barberella. Other than hungry like the wolf, these are some obscure 80s songs. Little to 80s for me.

Guero by Beck
May 05 2025

Other than E-Pro and another song, this album is a little too quirky pop rock for me.

Smile by Brian Wilson
May 07 2025

Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys. Didn’t know all the back story and drama surrounding them and this album in particular. Good vibrations is a bop, interesting story hearing about how it was made.

1989 by Taylor Swift
May 09 2025

This album slaps. It’s great until the last 2 songs

British Steel by Judas Priest
May 14 2025

This album rocks surprisingly hard.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jun 30 2025

Strong female vocals and acoustic guitar. This didn’t fit my taste but she is a very talented artist.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jul 01 2025

The first song of this album is such a weird way to kick it off. The tone is completely different than the rest of the album

Arrival by ABBA
Jul 04 2025

80s vibes, piano, disco influences and strong female vocals. Fernando and dancing queen ate the hits.

Fragile by Yes
Jul 07 2025

They rock superinfection hard

Low-Life by New Order
Aug 01 2025

This album is simultaneously stereotypical 80s but in the next song we are alt rock. This album is a ride and would highly recommend

War by U2
Aug 04 2025

Left me wanting more. Starts off with Sunday Bloody Sunday which is awesome. Rest of the album disappointed

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Aug 06 2025

This album has some heavy hitters ( War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron man). If it had one more banger or if the others were better this would be an easy 5 star. Right on the bubble. Very instrumental in to heavy metal

Achtung Baby by U2
Aug 26 2025

Forgettable. Mysterious ways is the only song worth listening to

Garbage by Garbage
Aug 28 2025

Garage by garage is most definitely not garbage

No Other by Gene Clark
Aug 29 2025

Pretty solid mellow album. This is Brad’s speed

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Sep 02 2025

A pretty rad little album. I’m sure at the time on vinyl this album hit pretty hard. Starts strong with band on the run and Jet, finishes strong with nineteen hundred and eighty five.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Sep 12 2025

Some interesting concepts, but didn’t really tickle my fancy.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Sep 15 2025

A funky ball of tits. Superstition is one of those all time greats.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Sep 22 2025

This definitely captures a moment in time/vibe. I swear they are contractually Obligated to say chic in every song. Or they get paid by the chic
