Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 08 2024

FFS, why do I have to start with jazz? Luckily, not too experimental. Okay background music, last track Vein Melter specifically.

Jan 09 2024

Bombastic, theatrical, dramatic. Queen is just not for me.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 10 2024

Ah, jazz from the 50's and female singers - nothing experimental about that, so I like this kind of jazz :)

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 12 2024

Easy listening, but once is enough, thank you.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jan 13 2024

Full of energy and good vibes

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jan 14 2024

Please, I can't... When is this app going to give me something that's not insufferable?

Diamond Life by Sade
Jan 15 2024

It's okay, but I want to be done with the easy listening stuff.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 16 2024

Intense, powerful stuff. It still sounds fresh and current.

Document by R.E.M.
Jan 18 2024

Yessss, I was feeling like R.E.M. today. Didn't really know their earlier work.

1999 by Prince
Jan 19 2024

I like Prince, but 1999 was not my thing.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 20 2024

Dusty's voice is so distinctive, and so is her music. Nice album.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 21 2024

Not my cup of pale ale, thanks

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jan 23 2024

Powerful work, musically and lyrically. And what a voice!

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jan 25 2024

Not a big fan of this earlier work, but then again: not a fan of his recent behaviour either. Let's see how his redemption shot works out.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jan 26 2024

Nice vibe and you can feel the immense skill Basie has in each and every song.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 27 2024

He's the boss for a reason. No one makes "stadium rock" like Bruce.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jan 28 2024

The music is good, the lyrics flow, but the skits are bad. The album is just too long and Puff Daddy's presence is a drag...

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jan 29 2024

Obviously a great musician, but not my vibe

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jan 30 2024

I think Bowie has albums that are a lot better and I also refuse to believe that this deserves to be in a list with the best 1001 albums...

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 31 2024

Who would've thought that Malinese blues music would be my thing?

Abraxas by Santana
Feb 02 2024

Great guitarist, but not my style.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Feb 03 2024

So poignant and intimate. I don't understand how this wasn't a success when he was still alive, but I'm glad we now appreciate him and his work.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Feb 05 2024

I absolutely recognise Missy's skill, but this is just not my vibe

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Feb 08 2024

I had never heard of them, and it was pretty good for a first listen.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Feb 09 2024

I used to like this album 5 years ago, but I guess that was just my millennial angst...

Moondance by Van Morrison
Feb 10 2024

Easy listening, but too easy. Not my flow.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Feb 12 2024

Never realised that I would really like King Crimson if only I would sit down and really listen.

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 13 2024

Carole King's craft as a songwriter is pretty unique

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Feb 22 2024

The Stones are not for me, but it is of course good

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Feb 26 2024

This was actually really good, fresh and current.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Feb 27 2024

Not the best Cure album, but The Cure are always good!

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Mar 02 2024

look, they are great musicians and the songs are well composed, but this is not my stuff

Mar 04 2024

We often see longevity in artists, but their relevance is arguable most of the time. Billy has been relevant for 40 years. Great album!

Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 05 2024

Sorry, I can't do MJ.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 07 2024

I just don't like electronic music

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 08 2024

Couldn't even sit through the entire album. Guess it's one of those "you should've been there" experiences
