Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 15 2024

The Steely Dan sound kicked out some solid hits on this one. Great album, but Aja still a notch above this one for me.

Jan 16 2024

Not my favourite of the Unplugged series but Lake of Fire and All Apologies have always been the standouts for me on this album.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 17 2024

Not the best album to listen to while indoor rowing but great music to think about summer when you're in a snowstorm

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jan 18 2024

Was murdered by the Killers a few years back. Love this album. Its like the Album generator is just pulling LPs off my wall.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jan 19 2024

Strumming like Richie Havens. Not my favourite but someone who should have had many years ahead of them to grow their talent.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jan 20 2024

The Stone Roses were never on my radar. Never stood out for me before and after listening Im not sure why it made the list.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jan 22 2024

I like some Pixies stuff but this is not my fave

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jan 23 2024

Whats not to love about this one? Blues, rock n roll, some of the best songs they wrote like Black Dog, When the Levee breaks, Stairway...

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 26 2024

The first song was actually pretty interesting. Building a mood, setting a scene for what's to come. It felt like a solid intro piece. But then the next song and the ones to come kept feeling like intros. I kept expecting something to build but it just never happened. So its a great album if you like intros but no body to any song.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jan 27 2024

I love how experimental and in your face all of his music is.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 28 2024

Early days sound of the Beatles was simple and uncomplicated. Easy listening

Jan 29 2024

Love that this offered me something I would never have listened to. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. This on was in the plus column.

xx by The xx
Jan 30 2024
This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jan 31 2024

Early rock n roll is always an interesting sound when you put it in the context of the times.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 02 2024

Incredible songwriting and passion in the delivery every time.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Feb 03 2024

One of a handful of greatest live recordings. Wish they had put more of it down on this pressing. The My Generation medley is one track I pick the needle up and move back for a replay.

Feb 04 2024

Ive had this on vinyl since the early 80s. Its had a lot of play over the years. Goes through all the various Beatles music styles.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Feb 05 2024

Album was just ok for me. Sounded a lot like Sheryl Crow, whose music I prefer over Luncinda Williams.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Feb 06 2024

Everyone of Rush's albums is an exploration of complex rhythms and experimental sounds. This one is no different and always a listening adventure

Feb 08 2024

First listened to this album at a friend's house in 85. He put a set of headphones over my ears and played Any Colour you like. Been a fan ever since.

I See You by The xx
Feb 09 2024

This is the second XX album to come up. I wasnt a fan of the first. I listened to this album on Spotify. When it finished, Teardrop off Mezzanine by Massive Attack started playing. Now there a great album.

Document by R.E.M.
Feb 10 2024

This album is the sound of REM. Some of it is a bit bland but some of the tunes are just a great mix of awesome music.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Feb 11 2024

Wow. How have I never heard this. Its a flowing masterpiece taking you on a musical journey through whatever style of sound and music she felt like carving out in each piece. So friggin awesome.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Feb 12 2024

The singing isnt my favourite from all his albums but the lyrics are masterful.

Feb 13 2024

Clutches pearls..."Oh the language!". Powerful lyrics and old school rap. Loved it then and now.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Feb 14 2024

Waylon was a fixture at the annual fair. Saw him a few times and while not a country fan, I prefer his style of country to today's. But not my fav

The Bends by Radiohead
Feb 17 2024

Probably my favourite from Radiohead, their least pretentious.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 18 2024

Described as a neglected masterpiece. Not my bag.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Feb 19 2024

Some days the app kicks out an album that makes me ask if this is a joke. This is one of those.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Feb 20 2024

Steely Dan had such a great sound. Love this album.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 21 2024

Listening through this album almost made me feel like it was the early evolution of what would become grunge. Maybe thats just me.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Feb 23 2024

Love the older ZZ Top. Some great blues sounds here that arent so poppy.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Feb 25 2024

Not a bad mix of music styles. But not my fav

The Band by The Band
Feb 27 2024

So much classic music with amazing songwriting. Every tune is a gift

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Mar 01 2024

Still playing my parents original box set . Favourite Beatle.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 02 2024

Never was a fan. This just reminded me of that personal fact.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Mar 04 2024

I recognize its musical importance but I just cant do that period of Miles career. Cant stand that style of jazz

Nowhere by Ride
Mar 06 2024

Not sure how I feel about it. Seems like a mashup of Smiths, Oasis grunge. Its almost like they dont even know what style of music they are which is good and bad!

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Mar 07 2024

Ive owned this LP for years. Masterpiece of Jazz. Flamenco sketches is probably my favourite piece of jazz. Bill Evans solo is perfection.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 08 2024

Love this album. Such a great period sound. Saw them live during their 50th anniversary show. What a letdown. Ian's voice was shot. Ill stick to the albums. Thanks.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 09 2024

Not my favourite of his, but an important piece of music history

The Man Who by Travis
Mar 11 2024

Kind of mellow Radiohead Oasis vibes for me. Its ok.Thanks for introducing me to them!

Van Halen by Van Halen
Mar 12 2024

It was a part of my youth. Appreciate its place in rock history but wasnt in my rotation.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 13 2024

Holds the test of time. Classic

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Mar 16 2024

Conveniently also celebrating its 30th anniversary. An album Ive grown up with along with Ten. Outstanding lyrics and a killer band fronted by the voice of Cornell.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Mar 17 2024

Subdued punk with undertones of the Velvet Underground

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Mar 22 2024

Like listening to a broadway musical. Not my thing.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 25 2024

Distinctive sound. Not the album I preferred of theirs
