Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 12 2024

Pop, female, mid, timeless voice, good mix, nice piano/instrumental melodies, harmonies, tacky, fadeouts

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 14 2024

Rock, mid, differing, poser, partly annoying, partly ok

Different Class by Pulp
Jan 15 2024

Britpop, good melodies, positive, melancholic, great album

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 16 2024

Wave, synth, industrial, wide range of styles, electro, dark, well mixed - not my pair of shoes

All Directions by The Temptations
Jan 18 2024

Funk, groove, gospel, fade outs, not impressive, rolling stone psychodelicly long, boring

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jan 19 2024

Country, Americana, Indie, male, mid/fast, good melodies, trumpets, good mix

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jan 20 2024

Indie, groove, smooth, retro, mid/slow, good melodies, nice solos, but basically redundant, album drags to finishing line. Not there best one fmpov

The Man Who by Travis
Jan 21 2024

Britpop, indie, male, mid, carefully arranged with strings, sometimes too much, but classic poprock album, with tendencies to Radioheadesk parts. Puts a wide smile on my face, listened to this one very often 25y ago, borrowed it from a girl i liked, burned it on a ROM, but threw it away some moves possibly. Remembered many arrangements and lyrics. Back in the days, liked the shy songs more than the big ones- still the same :)

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jan 22 2024

Indie, SingerSongwriter, mid, male, great voice, multi instruments, harmonic, sarcastic, sounds more american/metropolitan than british, many different styles, experiments with instruments and effects. Feels like he is fed up with the world and is confident it would not change, but enjoys life as best as possible. Listened to it while studies, was on my mobile for a long time. Great album, reminds me on pink moon sometimes.

Jan 23 2024

Electro, samples, triphop, funk, singles well known, still airing at indiediscos (with chemical brothers and prodigy). Other songs more interludes or copy of the hits, missing the consistency, some songs rather boring, not eyeopening - expected more. But the music videos and album cover are great.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Jan 24 2024

Folkrock, 60s, male, mid, smiling faces, but did not catch me. Too much talking, not a lot that lasts for me.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jan 25 2024

Indie, softrock, mid, male, limited variation, where are the hits? Why this album? Don’t get it…

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jan 26 2024

Indie, alternative rock, britpop, jazz, keys, electro, dub, melancholic and happy, male, mid/slow/fast, interesting concepts and challenging songs, many different styles. Catchy, but voice is quite weak. Not convinced, but not bad. Gets better every by every spin.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 27 2024

Pop, 80s, keys, male, mid/fast, sooo theatric, soooooo much drama, echos everywhere (especially on the drums), the guitar solo are unbearable, as well as the claps and keys/synth. Not aged well/at all, please excuse. Only adequate song is the last, still not protecting from 1 point - especially with 2 minutes guitar and piano outro.

Jan 28 2024

Rock, folk, beat, opera, male, polyphonic, mid/fast, good melodies, nice rhythms, solid, varied rock album, but partly challenging. Not bad, but not catchy enough - average

Vulnicura by Björk
Jan 29 2024

Electronica, ambient, indie, female, polyphonic, mid, strings, dark, drama, very limited beats/song structures, long songs, very much focused on her voice. As much as I "respect" her as an artist (what a stupid phrase), not enough for me, no additional spin.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jan 30 2024

Swing, beat, blues, 50s, male, mid, lovesongs only, quite good recorded, not sure if i'd liked it when I was born in 1930s... but solid songwriting.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jan 31 2024

Rock, avant-garde, psychedelic, alternative, britpop, soundscapes, noise, male, mid, rhythms, dub, jams, repetitive melodies, dark, a lot of samples, soundtrack. Wyld... needs definitely several spins to get it. Would be fun to see this live.

Da Capo by Love
Feb 01 2024

Rock, psychedelic, folk, blues, garage, male, mid/fast, experimental, winds, harmonica, soundtrack, jams, nice melodies, catchy, energy, combines a lot of elements I like, never heard before, took several spins, but the album is slightly unbalanced due to many short and one final jam extra long song.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Feb 02 2024

Rock, heavy metal, male, mid, solos, voice too prominent, rather soft, drums and bass play very small role, but a lot of references. Not enough to keep me entertained...

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Feb 03 2024

country, guitar, female, slow/mid/fast, polyphonic, good old american dream music, great voice, has much more drive than expected, great melodies and personality - I don't want to like that

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Feb 04 2024

Pop, dance, disco, keys, male, mid, first tones already offended me, didn't like it back in the days, was awaiting the end so much - after the second song already... and than comfortably numb appeared - wtf! Why in this list?! and the stupid outro?! In total, not as bad as expected, but just not relevant...

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Feb 05 2024

Rock, dance, funk, pop, male, hiphop, mid, nice tunes, catchy, blueprint for Pharrell style, solid music and songwriting, aged well, not my pair of shoes

Feb 06 2024

Rock, psychedelic, beat, male, mid, keys, oriental, very balanced, well arranged and recorded, aged very well, an album for every situation

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 07 2024

Rock, americana, pop, folk, male, mid/fast, keys, lovesongs, solid - but not mine

Play by Moby
Feb 08 2024

Dance, electro, pop, keys, beats, samples, so many singles and radio/musicTV airing, but non of it touched me once, still not really. Solid album though, aged ok, a little bit too long.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Feb 09 2024

Singer/songwriter, folk, blues, ballads, female, mid/slow, guitar, voice very much in focus, quite fragile, no beat/rhythm, hard to follow, not catching me at all, voice too high and too much tremolo

Rio by Duran Duran
Feb 10 2024

Rock, wave, 80s, synths, male, mid, album breathes and has space - not too packed, good melodies, like it somehow surprisingly

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 11 2024

Rock, wave, industrial, ballads, male, mid/slow, quite boring voice, way too much delay on drumset, has a vibe, but expected more due to "shoegaze pioneers" and Roadburn24 billing...

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Feb 12 2024

Rock, britpop, garage, jam, male, mid/fast, organ, cans, pushy, badass massive sound, reminds me on the Foos here and there. "sun hits the sky" was on a sampler/mixtape, but can't remember. Good record

Feb 13 2024

Rock, prog, psychedelic, experimental, male, mid, masterpiece, great dramatic composition, one of my first spinspinspinrecords during studies, many experiences with it (cover bands, exhibition, planetarium), but seeing/hearing the full album live at duna jam beach was just... mindblowing - thank you David Celia. Still goosebumps me...

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Feb 14 2024

Jazz, trio, instrumental, jam, solo on solo, the bass is killing me, not catching me. puh - not at all...

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Feb 15 2024

Spacerock, prog, stoner, jam, blues, mid/fast, male, soli, sounds, cans, keys, drive, must be impressive live, but not sooo catchy on record. Still great.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Feb 16 2024

Indie, easy listening, rock, male, mid, nice voice, good melodies, solid sunday morning breakfast music; don't know who copied from whome, but a lot of U2 and Morrissey inside; aged well, streets of your town still rotates at DLF.k

The Doors by The Doors
Feb 17 2024

Rock, psychedelic, classic, keys, male, polyphonic, slow/mid/fast, high energy and passion, impressive debut, outstanding voice, great recording and atmosphere, well arranged and selected song sequence, some weaker songs, but generally great

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Feb 18 2024

Punk, rock, ska, cans, mid/fast, male, high energy, dancing shoes, good combination, positive and cheesy, voice not my favorite, not catchy enough for me, but good

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Feb 19 2024

Indie, lofi, experimental, electro, mid/fast, female, samples, bells, dancy and groovy, air to breathe, aged well, high voice, but not annoying

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 20 2024

Postpunk, indie, garage, mid/fast, female, kicks ass, high energy, but drums don't kick enough for me - solid, but not overwhelming

1989 by Taylor Swift
Feb 21 2024

Pop, dance, mid/fast, female, party, emotional, synths, much better than expected, not annoying, good beats/rhythms. The Intro of Clean reminds me sooo much on Kettcar - Landungsbrücken raus... someone has good scouts :D

Abbey Road by Beatles
Feb 22 2024

Rock, folk, blues, prog, mid/slow, male, polyphonic, ballads. Many rhythms, tunes and melodies I don't like, some are good. My first thought: is this their last album? "I want you (she's so heavy)" starts so boring, but becomes a great song. Many others are just... somehow annoying. Close to 2 stars only

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 23 2024

Classic rock, prog, pop, violins/celli/strings, slow/mid/fast, male, polyphonic, ballads, strange, annoying and boring WDR2-music, musically not bad, but either too much drama and ambition or lame, with small positive excuses

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Feb 24 2024

Singer-Songwriter, soul, rock, mid/slow, female, great voice, groove, keys, well arranged, the sax is not my pair of shoes, album starts great but gets weaker over time

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Feb 25 2024

Rock, indie, pop, americana, mid, male, keys, delay on drums, BruceSpringsteen overflow, dreamy tunes, sounds all the same. Solid sunday morning music, not bad, but not mine.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Feb 26 2024

Soul, R&B, female, slow/mid, well arranged with strings, keys, winds and co, good voice, but songs too much focused on it, songs too simple, album too long

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 27 2024

Country, folk, male, mid, just legendary, great voice, great atmosphere, great announcements, this is a blue print for a live album - very authentic, country still not mine.

Scum by Napalm Death
Feb 28 2024

Grindcore, hardcore-punk, male, growls, very fast, iconic grindcore, puts a smile on my face, but gives me nothing, live funny

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Feb 29 2024

Wave, synthies, pop, 80s, mid, male, delay, sax, like the length of the songs and the way they can evolve, not bad arranged, not annoying or bad, but too poppy and not catchy enough, also don't like the hits

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Mar 01 2024

Indie, folk, blues, acoustic, slow/mid/fast, male, atmosphere, very simple but great, blister start was my ringtone once (need to redo this), makes me want to dance immediately, has great drive for an acoustic band, but still limited in sound and style. solid

New Wave by The Auteurs
Mar 03 2024

Indie, britrock, easy listening, mid, male, simple but good, nice flow, strings and keys floating around, but slightly boring and not impressive for more than 3 stars

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Mar 04 2024

Pop, rock, mid/slow, male, greasy, polyphonic, keys, no hits, well arranged and recorded, but don't like the voice and the slowness of the record

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Mar 06 2024

Traditional, world music, jazz, fado, male, mid, repetetive, boring. Old men making sad music with basic instruments. Can remember when it was in the charts back in the 90s and I did not like it there... not sure if i change my mind again in 30 years.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Oct 17 2024

Blues, jazz, positive, emotional, live, male, mid/slow. Not sure if I ever get into blues. No bad record, but can't think about a mood that this touches me.

Queen II by Queen
Oct 26 2024

classic rock, ballads, opera, ambitious, very diverse, concept, but no hit and not catchy for me. fully convinced this is a masterpiece, but not for me, needed 3 spins and reserache for details.
