Popular Reviews

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

Great album! And I get to see him perform live in Toronto next month.

Chris by Christine and the Queens

I had never even heard of this band before. And I start listening to it and I'm like what the hell is this French lesbian R&B?! And then after while I'm like this is some damn good French lesbian r&b! A keeper and a sharer

Urban Hymns by The Verve

Greatly enjoyed. I'd heard singles, but never the whole album. Never realized quite how energetically dreary the band is.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.

Amazing album. The copy that I downloaded had a 1 hour long interview with John Lydon tacked on to the end of the list; that was an unexpected treat!

1-Star Albums (41)

All Ratings (941)

Different Class by Pulp
Jan 20 2024

Hit the nostalgia bone, but I was never a big fan of them. Nice to know I've 'done the album though'

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 22 2024

It was nice hearing the hits that I had heard before within the context of the entire album. Definitely a wonderful Sunday afternoon experience

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 24 2024

I enjoyed listening to it and it's entirety. Coincidentally I had already had it on my phone but had only listened to tracks on shuffle. It was interesting to hear a couple of songs that I actually knew quite well because of other people's covers that I hadn't realized I had originally been written by John Lennon

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jan 26 2024

That was a pleasant background for a bedtime read

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 27 2024

Listen to this and it's entirety while painting a wall white in the middle of a high traffic public hallway. It was a very relaxing experience.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 28 2024

I hadn't realized how many Steely Dan songs I had heard throughout the course of my life. That was quite enjoyable

Dare! by The Human League
Jan 29 2024

I was greatly amused to find out that their number one hit was the last song on the album. Nice album to make pancakes on a Sunday morning to

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jan 30 2024

That was pleasant to listen to but ultimately underwhelming.

The Slider by T. Rex
Jan 31 2024

That was unexpectedly good. I heard a couple of songs that I've heard covers of. All said I've enjoyed it enough that I am going to download the entire discography and add it to my collection

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Feb 01 2024

That was absolutely delightful. I listened to it while reading the last few episodes of the Crossed comic books, so it was a wonderful juxtaposition of lush musicality and over sexualized Gore.

Kenya by Machito
Feb 02 2024

That was a treat. Ended up listening to it twice. Adding it to the folder of things that get randomly played when I'm doing housework.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Feb 03 2024

Was an enjoyable experience to listen to this foundational white R&B record. Not going to keep it for mobile but we'll keep it for the shuffle

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Feb 04 2024

I already have this one in my collection and I absolutely love it listen to it all the time

Feb 05 2024

Honestly now that I'm in my 50s the gangster rap just sounds silly. The lyrical flow was good the Beats were great but content wise it was unappealing. Will not be adding to regular rotation

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 06 2024

Listen to it riding my bike to and from work coincidentally through little Portugal / little Brazil in Toronto in the middle of winter. I got a lot of smiles from people walking on the sidewalk as I rode bye on the very loud speaker that I attached to my bike. Going to keep this one and maybe check out some of his other stuff but this will definitely be a summer bike ride album.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 07 2024

That was fun, some I'd heard before.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Feb 08 2024

Listens to it while riding my bike to work this morning. Really enjoyed it. Adding it to the shuffle

Odelay by Beck
Feb 10 2024

As it has always been, a great album. Haven't listened to the whole thing all the way through in quite a while.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Feb 11 2024

That was enjoyable. I'm more used to the remixes and dance versions of the familiar songs.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Feb 12 2024

Listen to it with the woman that I spent the night with lying in bed the next morning with coffee. She loved it

Tommy by The Who
Feb 13 2024

At the age of 50 I had never actually gotten around to listening to that entire album from beginning to end. And having listened to it from beginning to end at the age of 50 I am now glad that I was old enough to properly appreciate it when listening to it for the first time. I'm now going to make a point of seeing if I can find a group that performs this album live in my area and attend their performance

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Feb 14 2024

A favorite of many many decades. It was nice to get a reminder and prompt to listen to the whole thing from beginning to end again. My personal anecdote for the band is that after they broke up I eventually became a huge fan of Stuart Copeland and really didn't give as*** about sting. For s**** and giggles I'm going to look up the guitar players post police history to see what he ended up going on to do.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Feb 17 2024

Took a few days to get through the whole thing because life kept interrupting. Great to listen to lots of songs that I've heard throughout the years

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Feb 18 2024

I'm honestly underwhelmed. I had heard of it pavement for decades now and never got around a listing to them and now I understand why

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Feb 19 2024

I heard the name before but never heard the music that was a real treat and definitely going to be keeping it in the collection

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Feb 20 2024

I hadn't listened to this all the way through in I don't know how long. It was probably at least 20 or 30 years ago in a friend's basement during the very early teen years when somebody had the rare occurrence of weed. So today I decided to put on the full length movie version and watch it with my kids on family day! The 18-year-old thought it was interesting.

Destroyer by KISS
Feb 22 2024

I was never a big fan. I recognized a few of the songs. But didn't really move me in any way

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Feb 23 2024

S'alright. Nice bus ride music

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Feb 24 2024

That was fabulous! Adding to the travel folder on my phone. Ended up listening to it twice today

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Feb 25 2024

That was great fun. Probably going to add it to my collection so I can listen to it again later

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Feb 26 2024

Pleasant to listen to like all of Paul Simon's works but not overwhelmingly good enough to add to the shuffle on my phone; I will however add it to a folder called Simon and Garfunkel on my computer

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Feb 27 2024

A bunch of my Metalhead friends said that they're going to kick my ass after I admitted that I did not know that the theme song to the TV show Big Mouth was a Black Sabbath cover until I was prompted to listen to this entire album for the first time today

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Feb 28 2024

It started out really screechy and reminded me of my mom when I was sick. Then as it went on and the Nostalgia hit for the songs that I recognized and remembered I really got into it. Going to add it to the mobile collection

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 01 2024

Loved it

Moondance by Van Morrison
Mar 02 2024

A pleasant listen, but it didn't Rock My World.

Be by Common
Mar 03 2024

Instrumentally I quite enjoyed this, lyrically I could appreciate the flow Cadence and some of the word play; but as a middle-aged white man from Suburban Canada I wasn't able to entirely connect with the lyrical content and messaging. And I don't think I'm expected to be able to in anything more than a superficial way.

Spiderland by Slint
Mar 04 2024

Great album glad that I met it

Mar 05 2024

It was a fun listen but the band either was inspired by a bunch of other bands that they sound just like were inspired a bunch of other bands to sound just like them since the album came out. I'll keep it in the at home Shuffle but I'm not going to carry it around on my phone.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Mar 06 2024

I am so sad that I didn't know of this album years and years ago. I absolutely loved it and ended up listening to it three times. Definitely going to be checking out the rest of the band's discography

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Mar 07 2024

A classic album of my goth youth! Accidentally downloaded disc 2 of the remaster and ended up listening to all of the remix as well having my daily bicycle commute, but then I listened to the entire the album on a moderate volume during the evening and it was great.

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 08 2024

I had heard singles off of the album but never the whole album. It was a great selection and I think I'm going to keep it around a while

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 09 2024

I'd known the singles it was nice to finally hear the rest of the album. I quite enjoyed it

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 10 2024

Just happened to have downloaded it when my girlfriend came back into the room on a Saturday morning, I said hey what a crawl back into bed and listen to the Jimi Hendrix experience; so we did and it was good.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Mar 11 2024

I'm not a big hardcore fan but that was a half decent listen.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 12 2024

That was a wonderful example of early Rock and Soul music. My girlfriend's going to love making out to it.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Mar 13 2024

Got to sit entirely still on the streetcar while I listened to this on the way to work, was very relaxing.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Mar 14 2024

A fun and interesting listening. I didn't realize quite how noisy that band could get

Mar 15 2024

Started to really enjoy it until this persistent wooba dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby noise started to be heard as almost there backing instrument in all the tracks and it just drove me up the wall. I listen to it all the way through and I did enjoy it but that stupid whoopie dooby dooby dooby dooby sound will prevent me from making it something that I would listen to on a regular basis

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 16 2024

Haven't listened to the whole album all the way through in quite a while. That was nice!

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Mar 17 2024

A great listen. Had not heard it before.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Mar 18 2024

That was a nice listen. Kind of middle of the road for content, probably not going to throw that on the phone for mobile listening but I'll keep it in the at home collection

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Mar 19 2024

That made my morning commute and the first two hours of work amazing! Going to keep that one on the phone for mobile listening in the future.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Mar 20 2024

Long time Smith's in Morrissey fan but I never actually gotten around to listening to this album. I like it

Illmatic by Nas
Mar 21 2024

The instrumentation and flow was quite enjoyable, but as with all of the gangster rap albums I really don't connect to it in any way because it's not my lived experience

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 22 2024

I usually do thick as a brick when I'm going to do a jethroat toll listen. This was a nice change of pace

D by White Denim
Mar 25 2024

Nice enough, but not 'on the phone for mobile listening' good.

Boston by Boston
Mar 26 2024

Meh, good album but I've hard it way too often in my life.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 27 2024

Knew the singles. Liked the album

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Mar 28 2024

That was an absolute treat! I put it on while I was reading John lydon's biography anger is an energy and it paired really well much to my surprise. Definitely keeping this for mobile listening and going to put it on as a makeout album with my girlfriend

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Mar 29 2024

An album I know pretty well. Nice to listen to it fully looking forward to the next one though cuz this was really new

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 30 2024

I've had this one on my phone as part of my standard listening selection for close to a decade

Mar 31 2024

I like Punk but I've never been able to get into the hardcore scene. I can appreciate the technical skill and the lyrical message but I just would not choose to listen to this of my own volition.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Apr 01 2024

I had never even heard of this band before. And I start listening to it and I'm like what the hell is this French lesbian R&B?! And then after while I'm like this is some damn good French lesbian r&b! A keeper and a sharer

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Apr 02 2024

It only heard one or two of the singles from this album and of course of my life. Now that I've heard the whole album I really get why the band was so popular. They're a pure driving rock band in a very defining way. I ended up listening to it twice today.

Apr 03 2024

Had never heard that album before. I enjoyed it, but it's not something that I'm going to actively seek out to put on; but I'll keep it in the archive for random play

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 06 2024

It was OK. Hadn't listened to them before. Not something I'll choose, but don't mind it in the shuffle.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 09 2024

Technically and production wise its a great album, a treat to listen to if you don't mind the language; but the lyrical content is just trash for someone that does not come from a black, urban, gangster background.

Apr 10 2024

This is The Benchmark for ambient albums. I have probably listened to it thousands of times going to sleep at night over the past 30 years of my life.

Apr 11 2024

A pretty album and a nice listen but not something that I'm going to come back to very often.

Apr 12 2024

Great album. Listened 3 times today. Keeping on the phone for at least a while.

Homework by Daft Punk
Apr 13 2024

A classic of the genera. Danced to it at the club many times.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Apr 16 2024

Much to my surprise I find out that the person that sings Son of a Preacher Man is a white lady. The whole album was great it's definitely a keeper

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Apr 18 2024

It was kind of like hey Mom can we have some of the Pogues and Mom said no we have the pugs at home. I'll delete it for space on the phone I'll keep it for posterity on the external hard drive that I put on shuffle for parties.

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Apr 19 2024

Absolutely beautiful! Ended up listening to it three times and it's been added to my bedtime I'm going to sleep now playlist

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 20 2024

It was pretty good I hadn't heard it before I enjoyed it

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Apr 21 2024

It wasn't bad but I really didn't pay much attention to it because it was so Bland. Probably due to overexposure when I was younger

The Undertones by The Undertones
Apr 22 2024

That is some genuine and authentic Punk. Quite enjoyed replastering a ceiling to that today.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Apr 24 2024

I listen to to the whole thing yesterday, and can't remember anything significant today.

Apr 25 2024

Great album. Was playing while riding to work and another cyclist complimented me on my choice of album; so I told her it was my first time with it because of 1001atltbyd lol

S&M by Metallica
Apr 26 2024

Im not a big metal fan, but I did enjoy listening to this over two days of bike commutes.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Apr 28 2024

It made taking a trip to the dentist mildly more pleasant

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Apr 30 2024

An amazing listen. Took three days of bike commutes to get through it; and I got asked what I was playing multiple times.

Quiet Life by Japan
May 01 2024

Long time Japan listener. Great Album.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
May 03 2024

Very cool to hear such early versions of songs. I liked it.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
May 06 2024

That was fun! Grabbing the rest of the discography to add to my shuffle.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
May 08 2024

This album was like saying hey Mom I'd like some of the Beatles and your mom saying we have the Beatles at home. The thing is the Beatles that you were referring to were Chef Boyardee canned ravioli and the Beatles at home that she was referring to was the old Italian nanas homemade ones with her custom blend of ground beef and pork and spices and herbs that she grew in her backyard with the pasta made with wheat grown from grains that she brought over from the old country after the war. It was like experiencing a Beatles album if the Beatles had stuck around long enough to get a bit of a metal Edge.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
May 09 2024

It started out kind of hippy dippy but got progressively more bluesy. It was enjoyable

Eagles by Eagles
May 10 2024

Meh that was my dad's dad Rock

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 11 2024

It sounded just as good as the first time I heard it and a white kids University dorm room while smoking weed in my teens

The Stooges by The Stooges
May 12 2024

I unexpectedly got to listen to this album for the first time this morning on making love to my girlfriend. We both enjoyed the album.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
May 13 2024

Greatly enjoyed. I'd heard singles, but never the whole album. Never realized quite how energetically dreary the band is.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
May 14 2024

That was awesome! Glad to add it to my rotation

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 16 2024

A classic of my youth but not one that I was ever particularly enamored by

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 17 2024

Delightful blast from the past. Grabbing their discography for a deep dive.

Play by Moby
May 19 2024

That was fun! Keeping it on the phone for biker rides

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
May 20 2024

Nice. Nostaligic for GenX

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
May 22 2024

I honestly tried. But I couldn't get through more than half of this album. The content of it was just so completely irrelevant to my life or experiences and it didn't do anything for me

McCartney by Paul McCartney
May 23 2024

Nice album. Some really great drumlines and basslines that I'm surprised haven't been sampled more.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
May 24 2024

Amazing album. The copy that I downloaded had a 1 hour long interview with John Lydon tacked on to the end of the list; that was an unexpected treat!

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 25 2024

Heard it before it's a good album

The Score by Fugees
May 27 2024

Well know,great album

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 29 2024

A delightful listen on my way to and from work on my bike, brought smiles to a lot of people's faces at stop lights

LP1 by FKA twigs
May 30 2024

That was interesting and not bad. I'm not going to delete it right away and it will probably end up in the permanent collection

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
May 31 2024

Great album! And I get to see him perform live in Toronto next month.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jun 01 2024

Nice prog rock, but not something I will listen to repeatedly

Jun 03 2024

I listen to it all the way through and I don't remember a single moment of it.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 04 2024

It sounded like everything else I've ever heard Neil Young do

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jun 05 2024

I really enjoyed the album, I had heard the singles but not the entire album before.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jun 07 2024

Really enjoyed it. Ended up downloading the combination of the original CD and the live Hammersmith collection.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jun 09 2024

I ended up listening to this five times while I cleaned my turtle tank yesterday. Going to add to the permanent collection I really enjoyed it

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jun 10 2024

That was delightful and being added to the permanent collection

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jun 11 2024

Pretty sure that I have heard all the songs, but not in order that they were intended to be listened to on the album. Loved it

Doolittle by Pixies
Jun 12 2024

Ironically I saw them play Live just this past Saturday night. It'll be great to spend the morning and afternoon ride on my bike listening to the album versions of songs that I had just heard played live.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jun 14 2024

Great album, been listening to it for years.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 15 2024

I remember them being 'more', I guess time and new music has raised my standards. Heard sooooo many 'Japan' baselines.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jun 16 2024

I really enjoyed listening to that. It's one of my girlfriend's favorite artists so it's definitely going to stay in the collection for playing up with the cottage.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 17 2024

That was a fun album

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 18 2024

I enjoyed it. I had not realized just how good they were

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jun 19 2024

Technically a great album but me and a middle-aged white guy from Canada I couldn't connect with a lot of the content

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jun 21 2024

It was good, I'd enjoy seeing him play at a live music festival, but it's not an album that I'm going to pull up of my own volition.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jun 22 2024

This was amazing! A bunch of songs that I had heard throughout my many decades but never within the context of the original album. Definitely going to be in the permanent collection that gets played on shuffle on my phone.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 23 2024

It was an interesting listen. It's not something that I will put on often because to be honest it was a bit of a chore to get through even though I was just sitting here reading Reddit while it played.

Blur by Blur
Jun 24 2024

That was entertaining but ultimately underwhelming.

21 by Adele
Jun 25 2024

I could never get into her.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jun 26 2024

Always enjoyed Marcy. I grabbed the deluxe remaster that included live versions of all the songs so it was doubly good.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 27 2024

I was only familiar with the earlier bubblegum pop. This was a very enjoyable piece of progressive rock music

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jun 28 2024

That was a fun album. I had only ever heard the single the Humpty Dance, the rest of the album was quite enjoyable

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jun 30 2024

Meh. Hardcore all sounds the same to me. It played in the background of making coffee, washing the dishes, and reading the paper and 10 minutes later I dont remember a single song, lyric, or hook.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jul 01 2024

Quite good. I had only ever heard the single. Will keep around.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jul 02 2024

That was a fun lesson. Going to add it to the cottage patio mix

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jul 03 2024

That was a fun lesson while I cleaned the house. But a little too classic rock for my regular rotation.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jul 04 2024

was interesting background as I cleaned, but nothing I'll seek to put on again.

The Clash by The Clash
Jul 06 2024

A classic fave.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jul 08 2024

I enjoyed this while I wrote to and from work today. But it's not something that I'm going to suddenly decide to put on sometime in the future

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jul 09 2024

Oh another Steely Dan album. Just as good as any of the other Steely Dan albums that I listen to while going through this list. Because it's the same as every other Steely Dan album that I listen to and moderately enjoyed. I think that the list should start to filter out multiple albums by the same performer.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jul 13 2024

Pretty.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jul 14 2024

Really can't get into it. Almost finished listening to it and having trouble putting up with it.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jul 15 2024

Not normally my type of music but I really did enjoy this.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jul 16 2024

This was really nice. Ended up listening to it twice. I get the feeling that Andy Shauf listens to Elliott Smith.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 17 2024

Self indulgent noodly emo prog-rock? An interesting listen, but not a keeper

Signing Off by UB40
Jul 18 2024

That was delightful. I didn't expect it to be mostly instrumental, or at least that's what I remember it having been an hour after listening to it on my ride home from work, but it was great and I'm definitely keeping on my phone to listen to it.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 19 2024

I really enjoyed that. My girlfriend will particularly enjoy it the next time we're at the cottage

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jul 20 2024

Never a big fan, but I enjoyed it.

California by American Music Club
Jul 21 2024

Listen to it twice today. It was all right but not memorable enough for me to be able to tell you about any of the songs. Probably not going to leave it on my phone but I'll leave it on the hard drive

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jul 22 2024

I played it while playing Fallout 76. It was a great background accompaniment. It's going to stay in the library if something that I listen to, but none of it is immediately memorable.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jul 23 2024

You can never say anything bad about David Bowie

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jul 24 2024

At first I was oh great a country album, but then as it went on it just kept getting better and better. Of music. Going to leave it on the hard drive for the Sunday Shuffle.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jul 25 2024

Completely new to me. I enjoyed it. I think it needs a second listen

One World by John Martyn
Jul 26 2024

His voice was really annoying.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jul 28 2024

Good old classic rock and roll!

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jul 29 2024

It was interesting to hear that very popular single within the context of the rest of the album.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Aug 01 2024

It was fun to listen to while I wrote to work and sat and checked my emails but 12 hours later I honestly can't recall a single song in any specific way. It was good but nothing to write home about

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Aug 02 2024

I had not heard it before, was very good.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Aug 03 2024

I haven't checked yet but I got the feeling that these guys are from the same region as Mdou Moctar, and will be the second Tuareg guitar band Ive gotten into... I've checked, and they come from the country next door, 30 hours by car. Listened to it 3 times today, loving it, an now gonna look for more bands from the region. Listened to it twice more, looking for the vinyl now so I can take it to vinyl night at The Grand Trunk (my local bar)

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Aug 04 2024

That was a great cleaning the house album.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Aug 06 2024

I had never actually gotten around to hearing this album. I had heard the single for decades. I quite enjoyed it and I will keep it in the shuffle

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Aug 08 2024

That was a fun album to listen to. I was out riding my bike while I listened to it and a couple of other gen xers smiled and started bopping their heads when they heard it

Wild Gift by X
Aug 09 2024

Generic'80s/90s punk. Is all right to listen to but didn't really do anything for me

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Aug 10 2024

Amazing album. I got to see it performed live from beginning to end last year.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Aug 11 2024

An old faith that I have heard of hundreds if not thousands of times

Atomizer by Big Black
Aug 12 2024

Couldn't really get into it.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Aug 13 2024

It was interesting to hear such a foundational metal album. I'm not really a metal fan though.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Aug 14 2024

That was quite the treat! It was kind of like the Beatles And The Beach Boys got together and made an album.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Aug 15 2024

Really couldn't get into it. I actually played it twice but both times I ended up not paying attention to it because I was not enjoying it

Roots by Sepultura
Aug 16 2024

I had never listened to Sepultura before today. The hardcore metal stuff was hardcore metal stuff kind of undifferentiated from most other hardcore metal stuff. What really grabbed my attention was the interstitial pieces. The stuff that obviously differed from North American or european metal. Then it got to the last Hidden Track Canyon Jam. That one blew my mind. I'm keeping this album on my phone just for that track.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Aug 18 2024

I have not heard this one before. The other should be wider album that I'm familiar with as a great favorite of me and my girlfriends. I think this will be joining it.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Aug 19 2024

I'm not even finished listening to it and I'm giving it five stars and putting it on the playlist for when I go up to the cottage with my girl to get real high and f*** all weekend

Low by David Bowie
Aug 21 2024

I heard the singles but not the album. It was as all Bowie albums are amazing

Melodrama by Lorde
Aug 24 2024

It was nice but I don't know how it managed to qualify for the $1,001 albums list

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Aug 25 2024

I'm not a big fan of pop music. I understand why this ended up on the list because of how popular it was. But really it doesn't do anything for me

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Aug 26 2024

Awesome album with some great beats, very danceable

Blackstar by David Bowie
Aug 27 2024

Absolutely Epic

Back In Black by AC/DC
Aug 29 2024

A classic album for those that are into the genre

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Sep 01 2024

Amazing album.

Sep 04 2024

Having never listened to them before I can say that I understand why they became but it's popular as they did, and why they ended up in the book. But I did overall find it underwhelming

Hms Fable by Shack
Sep 05 2024

Meh. S'alright

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Sep 06 2024

I know there's one way too well because it's one of my girlfriend's favorite albums

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Sep 07 2024

I had heard a number of the singles from this album but never in the album in its entirety. I really enjoyed it and listened to it twice

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Sep 08 2024

Yet another Steely Dan album in this list. They're okay but it's getting a bit repetitively dull.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Sep 09 2024

absolutely amazing album listen to hundreds of times over the years.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 11 2024

A previously unknown band for me. I quite enjoyed it and will listen to it again in the future.

Future Days by Can
Sep 12 2024

That was so good that I have already downloaded their entire discography to work my way through this weekend.

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Sep 13 2024

That was a cute and quaint album. Going to add it to the romantic weekend at the cottage folder

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 14 2024

The classic album that was genre defining. And it was enjoyable with my morning coffee.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Sep 15 2024

I've never listened to a Grateful Dead album before this. I quite enjoyed it.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Sep 18 2024

I have not heard the songs on this album yet. I quite enjoyed it.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Sep 19 2024

It was very metal, much crunchy noise. Honestly didn't like it very much.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Sep 20 2024

It was fun to listen to that all the way through, I honestly don't recall hearing it from end end since the early 80s.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Sep 22 2024

A pleasant listen late in the evening, but not something I'm going to seek out again

C'est Chic by CHIC
Sep 23 2024

The fundancy Disco when I listen to it the first time loud, a pretty chill reading background when I listened to it soft

Raw Power by The Stooges
Sep 24 2024

Great example of early Punk.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Sep 25 2024

I had never heard it before. It was an interesting Fusion of Funk and punk.

Timeless by Goldie
Sep 26 2024

That was great, I'd never heard the album or knew Goldie. Going to enjoy it on long bike rides.

Abraxas by Santana
Sep 28 2024

I had heard songs from it but never the album it's an entirety. It was really nice! We actually listened to it twice in a row.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Sep 29 2024

That was funky and fun.

Sep 30 2024

I had never heard the album nor of the performer before. It made for a pleasant Sunday afternoon of playing backpack hero

Pink Flag by Wire
Oct 03 2024

It was good Punk. But didn't really move me in any particular way. I had a 40 minute bike ride home at midnight after a game of Dungeons and Dragons and it fit the bill.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Oct 04 2024

Another standard Morrissey album

I had only ever heard the hit single Victoria before and it was at such a young age that I thought the song was just about a girl named Victoria; not the Victoria. Was very interesting album to listen to the theme was cool and I quite enjoyed it.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 08 2024

That was excellent! I had never heard it before and I will be hearing it many many times in the future.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 11 2024

A wonderful Sunday morning with coffee album.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Oct 14 2024

Classic rock is classic rock.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 15 2024

Absolutely phenomenal album plated five times today.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Oct 16 2024

That was pretty epic! So good that I not only listened to it on my bike ride to work, but I listen to it on my bike ride home from work.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Oct 17 2024

That was unexpectedly awesome.

Oct 21 2024

That was technically and aesthetically a great listen; but it's not something that I'm going to come back to over and over again.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Oct 22 2024

That was an awesome album that I had never heard of before. Not even heard of the artist before. Listen to it while I was writing to work on my bike and again riding home from work on my bike. I had people that adjusted the pace of their riding so that they could stay close to me bop their head and compliment me on my music both there and back.

Oct 23 2024

I didn't pay very close attention while I was listening to this because things kept happening to distract me. But it did end up playing on a loop three times during that period and at no point was I ever dissatisfied with it. I definitely going to keep it on my phone and the next time I'm sitting down to read a book I'm going to put this on

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Oct 24 2024

Pretty, but unremarkable. I'll keep it on the main system for Shuffle but it won't go on a mobile device for choosing to listen to while on the go.

Vulnicura by Björk
Oct 25 2024

I ended up grabbing the live version of this. It was awesome.

Garbage by Garbage
Oct 26 2024

Iconic from my teen years, I actually danced in the club to this.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Oct 27 2024

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Oct 28 2024

Very pretty. I'd forgotten that this was a performer that all my lesbian friends used to listen to Back in the Day.

Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 29 2024

A classic album

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Oct 30 2024

That was groovy!

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 01 2024

That was a blast from the past.

Nov 02 2024

It started out as something that I didn't particularly like but by the end of the album I liked it. Ended up listening to it three times that day

Nov 04 2024

I was never a big fan of Jamiroquai, but having this album Play on YouTube music resulted in me listening to another hour and a half of live songs. I enjoyed it

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Nov 05 2024

I don't know if it was a genre defining album or just another album in the genre. It was not memorable in any way. I tried listening to it a second time with my girlfriend that's into that kind of music and we turned it off three songs in.

Leftism by Leftfield
Nov 07 2024

That was awesome! I downloaded the rest of their discography and spent the rest of the day listening to it.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Nov 08 2024

That was a fun and funky album. Some good covers not something I will actively seek out again but I will leave it in the shuffle.

Nov 09 2024

Great album, know it well

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Nov 10 2024

Always loved the singles I knew from this, great album.

Nov 13 2024

That was quite excellent! I had not heard of them before but I'm definitely going to be hearing a lot more of them in the future.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Nov 15 2024

Meh. Was good punk, but most of this kind of punk all sounds pretty much the same to me.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Nov 16 2024

That was fun, knew singles but not the album

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Nov 17 2024

A great album. I have all of their CDs from back when they were popular.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 18 2024

Get another album that I had heard singles from but never the album in its entirety. Greatly enjoyed it nice to have in the collection

Diamond Life by Sade
Nov 19 2024

I have made out and had sex to this album easily a dozen times.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Nov 20 2024

Yet again another album I had heard singles from but not the entirety of. it I'll keep it in the collection

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 21 2024

Oh yes another data point on the metric of the garbage of portishead

It was nice enough that I listened to it three times. My girlfriend was unexpectedly Happy by how chilled it was because she judged them by the name hahaha

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Nov 23 2024

Another one of those albums that I had heard the singles, but never heard the album, and honestly didn't even know who the artists were. I quite enjoyed it while riding my bike to and from work and will listen to it again

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Nov 24 2024

don't find it interesting enough to bother downloading to keep

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 25 2024

Classic

Nov 26 2024

It was all right, but my cultural background prevented me from really getting into the lyrical content. I have to say that the sampling and his flow was nice

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Nov 28 2024

I listen to it twice because I had the time but to be honest it's just pretty mundane glamrock to me

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Nov 29 2024

Absolutely phenomenal looking forward to listening to this with my girlfriend.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Nov 30 2024

Again Kanye West is technically good but I just cannot get into his lyrical content.

Da Capo by Love
Dec 01 2024

That was a pretty cool experience. I might not come back to it often, but I'm going to keep it for the shuffle.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Dec 02 2024

That was a fun listen. I think I should put it in the shuffle that will play at the cottage.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Dec 04 2024

That was kind of all over the map. I recognized some singles from back in the day that I enjoyed. Version that I got had a bunch of remixes at the end that was very cool overall I liked it and I'll keep it in the shuffle. Its been a year since my original post. A week after I original review my girlfriend and I went away for her birthday to a cottage with an outdoor hot tub on the shore of Lake Superior in January. We ate some things and drink some things and did some other things with some other things and spend a lot of Time naked in the hot tub in the minus 15 degrees snowstorm on the coast of the icy waters and the bed with the bay window. This album got put on and played all the way through while we fooled around. Since then I've probably listened to the album three or four times. It's a weird one, I admit it's a weird one, but it grows on you through repeated listenings. You find layering and Nuance to it that you don't get the first pass through.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Dec 05 2024

Technically good but to be honest his stuff never really grabbed me

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Dec 07 2024

Nobody can ever find any fault with this album

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Dec 10 2024

I have not heard this album yet. It's definitely much more musically broad than the White Stripes. I enjoyed it and will listen to it again in the future.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Dec 13 2024

I honestly found the repetitiveness of it dull

Dec 14 2024

I had heard singles off of this album, Bohemian Rhapsody of course, but not the entire album. I really enjoyed it listen to it twice I'll keep it on the phone for listening while traveling

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Dec 15 2024

Blast from the past

Grungy, didn't like it back at the time but it's grown on me since.

Ramones by Ramones

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 07 2025

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jan 08 2025

It was okay. I listened to it on my way to work yesterday but nothing stood out enough to remember.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jan 09 2025

It was okay but I'm not a big fan of the genre so it didn't really move me.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 10 2025

I had a sexy bath while I listen to this album, it's a sexy bath because I was having a bath before spending the night with my woman. Which is something that Prince would do.

Jan 12 2025

Not really my kind of music but I appreciate it being able to listen to a rapper whose words I could understand. Good diction and annunciation

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Jan 13 2025

That was completely unknown to me, not just the album but the band as well. It was absolutely delightful, listened to it three times today.

Mildly nostalgic.

xx by The xx
Feb 06 2025

I enjoyed it enough the first time that I listened to it a second time later in the day.

Feb 12 2025

A classic with all the hits. I just wish that Perry hadn't gone completely insane and canceled the shows on their tour the day before they were supposed to come to my city

Kimono My House by Sparks
Feb 14 2025

That was a fun album. I listened to it at least three times yesterday. I'm going to keep it on my phone so it can come up on the shuffle.

Feb 16 2025

It was nice to hear the classic hits within the context of the album they came from.

The La's by The La's
Mar 06 2025

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Mar 07 2025

Really enjoyed listening to it on my way to work yesterday.

It ended up being played repeatedly throughout the day when we took breaks and had lunch.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Mar 08 2025

I only recognized the first track, the rest were some odd-but-fun 80's alternative electro-pop. Some fun weirdness.

Another classic that I've heard many times that I'm going to listen to again now.

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 11 2025
Vivid by Living Colour

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 18 2025

It was Neil young, it's a good album

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Mar 19 2025

It was interesting to finally hear the legendary cold cut after never getting around to it. I prefer kid koala

Had heard the singles. The rest of the songs are very much like the singles. Kind of blended into one long whining guitar riff.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 26 2025

Hearing the songs other than the singles that have been popular for a very long time was amazing. I didn't know that their musicality extended that far.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Mar 27 2025

Berry 90s indie rock. I'm going to keep it on the phone so it comes up again maybe I'll get into it more

John Prine by John Prine
Mar 28 2025

That was unexpectedly cute. Hearing the original versions of things that I heard covers of was neat. I'll probably listen to it again

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Mar 29 2025

The ultimate album to play while you make dinner for a goth chick so she puts out later in the evening.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 30 2025

Lovely.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Mar 31 2025

That was so cool I looked up the english translations. It's unfortunate that the entire concept album is about a middle-aged man seducing and f****** a 14-year-old girl. This celebrated novel that is the foundation of French Rock and trip hop is basically a celebration of pedophilia

Guero by Beck
Apr 02 2025

So nice I played it twice

Palo Congo by Sabu
Apr 03 2025

Are very much enjoyed it. I'll keep it on the phone for a little while so I can enjoy it again

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Apr 04 2025

I recognize the single. The other tracks were pretty good too

Apr 06 2025

I had not heard anything but the singles before. It was interesting to hear all of the instruments and sounds that were in the singles rearranged for all of the other songs on the album

War by U2
Apr 09 2025

I don't even want to listen to this. It got played way too much when I was growing up 40 years later I'm still sick of it. My girlfriend however is a big U2 fan so I'll tell her it's the album of the day and tell her that I had listened to it and give it a big upvote for her

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Apr 10 2025

I had never heard that album before. That was absolutely phenomenal! It's going to be in permanent rotation on my phone and at home.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Apr 11 2025

That was fun, I gotta see which ones were covers and origionals covered by others.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Apr 15 2025

That's a keeper! Looking forward to going for the group rides during the summer and playing this

2112 by Rush
Apr 17 2025

I'm a middle of the road Rush fan, this was a middle of the road Rush album.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Apr 18 2025

He was really generic loud screaming punk music

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Apr 19 2025

My girlfriend gave it made me turn it off because it was giving her a headache.

Electric by The Cult
Apr 20 2025

Great album

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Apr 22 2025

It was all right. Music has come such a long way since that experimental sound that it kind of fell into the background, and no matter what I always wanted to be doing something else while I was listening to it.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Apr 23 2025

That was all right

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Apr 24 2025

That was pleasant. I like the one that sounds like a cross between reggae and Bayou jazz

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Apr 25 2025

Interesting to hear the originals, I'm pretty sure I've heard covers of some of those songs

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Apr 26 2025

Played it on the speaker riding to work. Everyone over 40 was grinning and bobbing their head as I went by.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Apr 27 2025

Despite being old enough to have experienced this album come out originally I never actually listened to the entire thing because I was not a pop music fan. It was enjoyable Sunday morning listening. Hit a little bit of nostalgia and I think I have a better idea of where a bunch of samples that I've heard in other songs came from.

The Man Who by Travis
Apr 28 2025

Pleasant enough that I listened to it twice

OK by Talvin Singh
Apr 29 2025

That was a bit of all right

Elastica by Elastica
Apr 30 2025

Some nice nostalgia hits. Don't think I ever heard the entire album before; glad I now have.

Ctrl by SZA
May 01 2025

Technically it was all right, but the lyrical content did nothing for me

New Forms by Roni Size
May 02 2025

That was really great. I was never a big drum and bass fan but I really enjoyed this album

GI by Germs
May 03 2025

It was some hardcore punk

May 04 2025

Interesting enough that I listen to it twice. Going to keep it the collection so I can listen to it again at a later date

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 06 2025

Not a metal fan but I enjoyed that

May 07 2025

Fun nostalgia

May 13 2025

Oh so very earnest

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 15 2025

Meh

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
May 16 2025

That was just an epic pile of remix and mashup. Permanent rotation on my phone.

Infected by The The
May 17 2025

That was way more epic then I thought it would be.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
May 18 2025

I have danced to this album in clubs uncountable times over the course of my life. For a 52-year-old gen xer this was my Disco.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 19 2025

It honestly sounded like every other Van Morrison album I've ever heard

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
May 21 2025

I had to ride my bike for an hour to work this morning in the pouring rain. I Put on Full rain gear and an extra sweater to be warm and left a little early so I wouldn't have to rush and get all sweaty in the waterproof cover. This album was absolutely perfect for that nearly hour long leisurely bike ride in the rain.

Suede by Suede
May 22 2025

Now I remember why I never liked that then very much.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 23 2025

It was fun to ride to work in the rain while listening to it

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
May 24 2025

Reminded me of listening to the guys next door drinking until they got into fights

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 25 2025

Mmmm... grungy.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
May 26 2025

The version that I grabbed must have been some sort of extended box set because it had all sorts of variations inversions on the songs. It was an awesome sit on the patio for a couple hours while playing a video game listen. Because the musicality of it was really good

Take Me Apart by Kelela
May 29 2025

Eeeee. It was the R&B equivalent to listening to elevator music.

25 by Adele
May 30 2025

I thought it was pretty boring

May 31 2025

Well, I'd heard about Tom Waits for years but never made the effort to listen to him before. I've got catching up to do.

Jun 01 2025

Fun!

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 02 2025

A good Sunday morning listen.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Jun 03 2025

Sounds like the music that the people that used to beat me up in high school listen to

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jun 05 2025

Trippy with nostalgia hits.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jun 09 2025

It was basically R&B elevator music for me. I didn't not enjoy it, but it did absolutely nothing for me. I think I need to listen to some Patricia Taxxon to cleanse my musical palette.

Faust IV by Faust
Jun 10 2025

That was an interesting listen and I am looking forward to it coming up again in the shuffle in years to come

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jun 11 2025

I found it so dull, background R&B music that I kept wondering away and doing other things. I rewounded a couple of times but I honestly can't remember anything other than the fact that she kept talking about how much she likes dick.

Soul Mining by The The
Jun 12 2025

An awesome album that hit many nostalgic notes

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 14 2025

Pop-punk from my New Wave Goth days.

Jun 18 2025

Good enough that I listen to it twice today.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jun 19 2025

Really didn't do anything for me

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jun 21 2025

That was fun, I'll keep it on the shuffle server.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jun 25 2025

That was a lot of fun. The obvious single track I had heard before in a mashup with the prodigy.

The Coral by The Coral
Jun 26 2025

Unmemorable

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jun 27 2025

It was okay. I recognized one song.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jun 28 2025

Delightful listen to it on the bike ride to work at work and from work

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jun 29 2025

I struggled through it. It was just so much elevator music to me. I really didn't enjoy it.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jun 30 2025

Pleasant but not memorable

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jul 01 2025

Recognized a couple of the singles on this one. Nice enough for my ride to work but I'm probably going to take it off my phone

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Jul 02 2025

I enjoyed that so much that I listened to it twice in a row.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jul 05 2025

Danced to this in the clubs when it came out, my knees still hurt.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jul 06 2025

Except for the funky technical guitar work this was monotonously boring.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 07 2025

It was the Beatles. It was really good.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Jul 08 2025

Heard a lot of things that I heard in a lot of other songs in the years since this came out. I think this album is pretty heavily sampled or at least homage. It was pretty good we'll give it another listen another time

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jul 09 2025

That was fun and I'm going to keep it around on the phone for a while to listen to again

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jul 17 2025

It was radiohead. It was weird and cool.

Put it on for my 40 minute bike ride home. Ended up taking me 60 minutes and I started listening to it again because I was so relaxed I wasn't riding my bike fast.

Jul 21 2025

Well that was an epic way to start the morning

A classic album that I have listened to hundreds of times

Jul 31 2025

Pleasant

Solid Air by John Martyn

The first song had me cringing and worried that I was going to have to listen to an entire album of that crap. The rest of the songs weren't as bad but honestly the album is not memorable

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Aug 02 2025

Unexpectedly awesome! Ended up listening to it three times

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Aug 03 2025

Goo by Sonic Youth
Aug 04 2025

Good album

Rapture by Anita Baker
Aug 05 2025

Meh, it was okay.

Tical by Method Man
Aug 06 2025

That was fun to play in the background while I did morning chores. Technically it had cool flow and great hooks, I just did not identify with the content material.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Aug 07 2025

It was pleasant to listen to on my ride to and from work. I actually had two people recognize the music and compliment me on my taste. I don't remember a single song from the album five hours later.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Aug 08 2025

Intellectually stimulating, and funky

Can't really say anything bad about a foundational album for modern rock.

Possibly entertaining pop music

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Aug 20 2025

I don't think I'd ever actually heard the whole album. I really enjoyed that

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 22 2025

That was nice

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Aug 27 2025

High Violet by The National
Sep 13 2025

Sep 14 2025

In light of all the albums that I've heard since I first heard this one, although I like this one, it's not particularly impressive anymore.

Sep 25 2025

I've listened to this one enough times that I don't even need to listen to it again to give it five stars.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Sep 26 2025

That was really weird. I made it through. And then I started listening to it again. And then I looked him up. And now I've downloaded a whole bunch of his other albums and works that he did with other people.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Sep 27 2025

Pleasant.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Sep 28 2025

That was quite good, heard a lot of samples used in mashups over the years. Will listen to again.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Sep 30 2025

It was fun to listen to while I rode my bike to work, but not memorable enough to want to listen to it on the ride home.

Oct 01 2025

I didn't mind listening to it, but it didn't even Nostalgia hit me so are you going I guess not everybody got into Dinosaur Jr when they came out.

Oct 05 2025

Not very memorable, but not unpleasant.

One of the few CDs that I ever actually bought. Played the hell out of it.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Oct 09 2025

A good one

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Oct 10 2025

I really enjoyed that. I'll be listening to it again. Oddly my girlfriend thought it was weird and spooky. Sometimes she just does not have good taste in music.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Oct 11 2025

The first song started and I was digging that cool Jazz then the singer started and I was kind of disappointed. It took two tries for us to get all the way through and my girlfriend hated it every single second.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Oct 12 2025

Good enough the gf asked me to play it again.

Oct 13 2025

Parachutes by Coldplay
Oct 14 2025

Now I understand the derision

Oct 15 2025

I keep forgetting about this album and then really loving it whenever I ReDiscover it.

Pretty

Nov 03 2025

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 04 2025

Cute

Nov 05 2025

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Nov 06 2025

Meh

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Nov 07 2025

That was some delightful weirdness

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Nov 12 2025

Well, I guess I do have to listen to this. Wonderful album, depressing content.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Nov 13 2025

That was unexpectedly funky. Ended up listening to it three times today.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Nov 14 2025

That was odd. It was kind of like Van Halen trying to do the Beastie Boys.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Nov 16 2025

Bluesy, rockish, sounded familiar.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Nov 17 2025

Funky at the time, but the next day I don't remember listening to it.

Nov 19 2025

Listening to revolutionary anthems while riding your bike to and from work in a city where assholes Park in bike Lanes is not a good idea if you don't want to get into fights.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Nov 21 2025

That was delightfully loud. I look forward to having the opportunity to listen to it on an even louder system sometime

Nov 22 2025

Started listening to it before I looked at the date that it came out. Got to weighs into it and had the idea that if this person made this album after 1985 it's obvious that they listen to a lot of Kate Bush; then I saw what it came out and now I got the feeling that Kate Bush listens to them. Quite enjoyed it ended up listening to it three times.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Nov 24 2025

I listened to it late at night as I was reading before bed. It definitely deserves a second to listen much louder, I'll be doing that as I ride my bike to work this morning. So I listen to it to and from work on my bike ride today and that was some pretty Epic carnival style Industrial. I've never heard French industrial I think I'll be checking out more of it

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Nov 25 2025

That was pleasant to listen to while reading before bed.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind

Nov 27 2025

It was good, but dull

Nov 28 2025

That was catching and bouncing and I'm glad to have finally heard the entirety of the album that I had heard the single from. I think I listen to it three times today.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Nov 29 2025

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Nov 30 2025

Delightfully smooth album to listen to while having coffee with my love on a Sunday morning.

Damaged by Black Flag
Dec 01 2025

It was fun to finally get around to listening to the entirety of the album.

Dec 06 2025

A delightful album to listen to in full

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Dec 09 2025

That was a fun experience on my new Super Bass headphones on the subway to work. Seeing as how I may call gangly old white guy that dresses like a goth the quizzical looks I got from the Black Folk was entertaining. It was interesting to hear the source material of samples and cover songs that I have not known the origin of

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Dec 10 2025

Very indie rockish. But the next morning I don't remember any of it

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Dec 20 2025

Dance club classic from my youth. Played it three times during the day, felt like dancing.

Smile by Brian Wilson

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Dec 23 2025

That was pretty cool. Would that be Progressive jazz?

Risque by CHIC
Dec 25 2025

Fun

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Dec 26 2025

Very pretty, quite relaxing

Dec 30 2025

Nostalgic

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Jan 11 2026

Long, but great background for a Saturday morning of housework.
