The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 17 2024

Some good songs are on this album. My wife compared a few songs to the Everly Brothers which I see as fair when listening to the harmonies. The second to last song is experimental and I can do without. Sound like they had been up for 3 days on speed - which they probably were!

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 18 2024

I enjoyed the latino rythms in most of these songs. The songs that got a little too "rock n roll" weren't as good. Of course the hits off this album are special songs!

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 19 2024

I have listened to this album many times over the years, and unsuprisingly I think this is a seminal piece of rock 'n' roll history. So many familiar songs. Madman Across the Water (the song) is one of my favorites.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 22 2024
Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jan 25 2024

I was introduced to this album many years ago when I checked out the book that this generator is based on out of the library. At the time I downloaded as many of these albums as I could find, but this one ended up in my favorites list. A great reggae classic!

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Jan 26 2024

This album certainly flew under my radar when it first came out. Being from the US, I think we were inundated with Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, etc. at the time, so I don't think this got much airplay. I don't remember seeing it on MTV. Listening to it last night, it is a solid rock album. Great songwriting and guitar work.

The Cars by The Cars
Jan 30 2024

I can't believe how many songs on this album were hit singles. This was a groundbreaking album from my teens and was always on the radio or jukebox throughout the next 20 years

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Feb 19 2024

First song was good, but after that it started sounding like art rock from an 80's British band - oh wait - that's what it is! Not my cup of tea.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 20 2024

This is my wife's favorite band so she told me I had to give it 5 stars! Lol...

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Feb 22 2024

I really like this album. The old country music mixed with lang's amazing voice is a memorable combination.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Feb 26 2024

quintessential post-punk listen. This album finally has gotten it's due.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 27 2024

One of my all time favorites with my favorite song - Can't you hear me knocking. The perfect rock album.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Feb 28 2024

Decent punk rock album, even though I'm not a big punk rock fan. I especially liked "Smash it Up"

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 29 2024

One of my all time faves. I think I heard somewhere that this was the first heavy metal album. My favorite song is Hand of Doom

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Mar 01 2024

I love this kind of jazz. It reminds me of early Miles and Herbie electric jazz.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Mar 06 2024

The only reason this wasn't 1 star is because my wife recognized and liked one of the songs from her childhood.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Mar 07 2024

This was better than I thought it would be. Sounded like a James Bond movie soundtrack.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Mar 13 2024

It was okay. end of album better than weird beginning

Sister by Sonic Youth
Mar 19 2024

my wife was glad when it was over. I thought it was okay. A little grating.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Mar 20 2024

Good rock and roll album. I would listen to this again for sure!

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Mar 21 2024

It was decent. We thought it sounded a lot like arcade fire

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Sep 19 2024

I did not like it. I don't really like the solo acoustic type of vibe.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Sep 20 2024

My wife liked it better than I did. Brings back memories of my time before moving to VA
