Odelay by Beck
Jan 11 2024

Interesting album. Rock with some hip hop vibes in terms of sampling and almost spoken word in some points. Some songs bordered on grungey metal, others were almost trip hoppy. Good drum breaks throughout.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jan 12 2024

Fun to listen to. Very old school, honky tonk, American bar vibe.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 15 2024

Some bangers, some misses.

War by U2
Jan 16 2024

Not bad for a rock album, 3 or 4 great tracks and some forgettable songs.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 18 2024

A unique sound, but it got repetitive real fast. Good in short bursts.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jan 20 2024

Pretty good emotional gothic rock.

Queen II by Queen
Jan 21 2024

Great music that I wasn't aware was even made by Queen.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jan 23 2024

A little samey. Some great sounds for the first 1 or 2 tracks, but apart from "Wake Me up When September Ends", it loses its unique sound pretty quickly.

The La's by The La's
Jan 24 2024

Some solid tunes but the album started to drag long after a while.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 25 2024

As expected, some great catchy songs from MJ

Kala by M.I.A.
Jan 26 2024

Really hard to listen to. Kind of monotone and bland, and just strangely edgy for the sake of sounding different, but it never ended up being very musical or fun.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jan 28 2024

Some beautiful piano music in here. Of course, it isn't as engaging as a lyrical pop song but if you listen to it and pay attention, it's still pretty incredible.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jan 29 2024

A surprisingly fun and musical album. At points it is whimsical, and doesn't take itself seriously, but at other times it provides some great musicality and weight.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 30 2024

Good music, great voice, brilliant vibes, but the lyrics are a bit cringeworthy at times.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jan 31 2024

No expectations, fantastic album. Groovy, funky, well made, and a lot of fun.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Feb 01 2024

A nice peaceful album. Sounds great, not much else to say.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Feb 02 2024

Steely Dan is not one of my favourite bands from the era, something about the sound is just not quite there.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Feb 03 2024

Some ok instrumentation but awful singing.

Music by Madonna
Feb 04 2024

Really

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Feb 07 2024

Not bad musically, honestly not my vibe but a good album nonetheless.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Feb 10 2024

A surprisingly pleasant album.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Feb 12 2024

One of the most interesting albums I've ever heard.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 14 2024
Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Feb 15 2024

Honestly, didn't expect to like a country album this much.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 16 2024

Was alright, nothing spectacular.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Feb 18 2024

Some good instrumentation, but why is this list so rock heavy?

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Feb 19 2024

This is what I want from this project. Something I never would have listened to otherwise, but was still beautiful in many ways.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 20 2024

It started off alright, but by the end, I understood the hype around Jimi Hendrix.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Feb 28 2024

There are some parts which are okay musically, but her voice is just terrible. I could barely understand the lyrics, which according to the other reviews are quite good? Oh well. I struggle to see how this made this list.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Feb 29 2024

Wonderful big band album. Great variety in the tracks, yet they all sounded fantastic, this is the type of music that I want from this list. Different and unique.

Melodrama by Lorde
Mar 01 2024

Being a kiwi, I feel pressured to rate this high. It isn't a bad pop album by any means, but it is still a pop album, and I find it hard to rate it highly because of that fact. It has some good songs, but it still comes off as trying to appeal to the mass market.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Mar 03 2024

Surprisingly good. Didn't expect to listen to such a beautiful album.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Mar 04 2024

Not bad, some decent instrumentation at points, but the singing was grating, and it felt a little experimental at times. I guess punk isn't for me.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Mar 05 2024

Some alright parts, but I think this album really reminds me why I don't like country. Even with that in mind, I just don't find the music all that fresh or compelling.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Mar 06 2024

I think this guy believes his voice is nicer than it really is.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Mar 07 2024

Simply great music, even if it has been made cheesy by Hollywood. Can't deny how well made it is.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Mar 08 2024

Not bad. I can't say I'm the biggest Steely Dan fan, but there are some alright songs here. Still feel like other bands captured more emotion than these guys.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Mar 09 2024

Fresh and fun, even today.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Mar 10 2024

Some fine rock, nothing crazy.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Mar 11 2024

Some interesting sound design, but nothing particularly compelling.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Mar 12 2024

I'm really starting to get sick of rock, even though this is undeniably a pretty good live performance.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Mar 15 2024

A few amazing tracks in here, really quite surprised, though some are definitely quite forgettable.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Mar 18 2024

I'm sure hard rock fans like this, but I don't see how this is any more groundbreaking than the other hard rock albums before it.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Mar 21 2024

Surprisingly enjoyable. His voice wasn't the best, but the music was great.

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 22 2024

A nice poppy feel good album.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Mar 24 2024

I don't understand how this is particularly good rock.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Apr 05 2024

This is some fun great high energy rock that screams the 70s and 80s.

Apr 06 2024

Biased as I have loved Fatboy Slim for a long time, but there just isn't anyone who makes music that sounds or feels quite like this.

Apr 21 2024

Surprisingly good for its age, and incredibly fresh and innovative for an electronic album of this time.

Real Life by Magazine
Apr 22 2024

This album is ass

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 01 2024

Pretty good country rock album

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 02 2024

This style of music really doesn't carry well to today.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jun 03 2024

Pretty good actually.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jun 04 2024

Some bangers but mostly just solid music, nothing crazy.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jun 27 2024

Some good songs but a bit samey. Not for me.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 29 2024

Nice production and voice, but they don't add up to anything particularly compelling.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 30 2024

I don't get it at all.
