Popular Reviews

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp

Extremely fine. Nothing really memorable

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals

The reviews gave me a lot of questions because I liked this lol

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents

WOW WE FOUND THE WORST ALBUM this album is fucking weird. also two hours long. This stressed me out to listen to. If I could give less than one star, I would

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

I always heard people talk about The Smiths with reverence and after we got our first Smiths album, I was like eh I don’t get it. We just got the wrong one first, this album was really good

Blur by Blur

Woo hoo (this album is overrrr) woo hoo (I don’t have to listen to blurr). This album was fine and rather uneventful

All Ratings (567)

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 16 2024

I'll be brave and say that this is a good album

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jan 18 2024

I really enjoyed, nice piano soundscape but not the most interesting

Is This It by The Strokes
Jan 19 2024

Very good album, reminds me of Veronica Mars and middle school which is fun

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 22 2024

Super not for me. Has its highlights but otherwise a genre I don’t care for

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jan 24 2024

Instrumentals are cool and vibes are good but this album is fine

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jan 25 2024

This was not good lol. Mostly just noise

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Feb 16 2024

Too reminiscent of Daft Punk for my taste (of which I hate per Grant)

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 19 2024

Great album, classic songs. Not my go to music but solid songs

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 20 2024

Not as good as Oasis but definitely the vibes and influences are there

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Feb 21 2024

It’s giving U2 Achtung Baby which I don’t like. Not my vibe

Feb 22 2024

I liked this one! Vocals and instrumental was fun with the flute and the saxophone

The Cars by The Cars
Feb 23 2024

Really enjoyable! No skips album reminiscent of childhood

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Feb 26 2024

Surprisingly really enjoyed. Great vocals and solid instrumentation

The Next Day by David Bowie
Feb 27 2024

This felt like a retread of Bowie. Recognizable melodies and themes but nothing super unique

Feb 28 2024

I actually liked this album a lot! Kind of reminded me of Muse. Might not come back to very often but I enjoyed it

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Feb 29 2024

Familiar sounds from Joni! The album was pleasant to listen to but not my favorite

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Mar 01 2024

I really liked this album. I felt Elliott's influence for current music that I enjoy and it feels like a time of tv and movie soundtracking

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 04 2024

Oh I love this. The drama of the rock opera but also incredibly listenable music. So good

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Mar 05 2024

I really liked this album. Odd mix of covers that felt like only songs that I listen to but I was a fan

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Mar 06 2024

Reminded me of The Wallflowers in a way but also kind of boring

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Mar 07 2024

Once you get over the shock of crassness, it’s a great album. Minimal notes other than I felt verbally assaulted

The Score by Fugees
Mar 08 2024

Great vocals, great songs

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 12 2024

WHOMP this was a dull album outside of Son of Preacher Man

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Mar 13 2024

Grant’s favorite genre of hair band. Recognizable songs that I liked some but otherwise don’t love this kind of music

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Mar 15 2024

I really liked this one! Never heard of them but I enjoyed the album and artist radio on Spotify

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Mar 18 2024

Pretty average Prince album. Super long with none of the big hits

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 19 2024

Instrumentals were great! A fun listen of a genre I don’t often listen to

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Mar 20 2024

Fun reggae album! I liked the drums and beats

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Mar 21 2024

Loved this one! Thought that it was a very fun mix of songs

Mar 25 2024

I love this album, such beautiful songwriting and iconic sound that influenced a lot of other music and media that I enjoy

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Mar 26 2024

So so good. Easily no skips on this album.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Mar 27 2024

Meh not for me. I actively thought that it sounded like noose

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 28 2024

Very moody. Not what I was necessarily expecting going into it. Lyrics and instrumentals were good

Bad Company by Bad Company
Mar 29 2024

I do love some overly earnest sounding arena rock. Not as good as others examples of it. Perhaps a bad sign that The Cars Just What I Needed came on after and was 100% better. Still fun though

With The Beatles by Beatles
Apr 01 2024

Very fun album. Felt like a lot of covers that I enjoyed but also a lot Beatles classics. Definitely one that I would revisit

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Apr 02 2024

To be honest it reminded me of ASMR get focused music playlists and the music is fairly undistinguishable from one song to the next. Except the House theme

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Apr 03 2024

What a fun blast from the past. Of course, the first three songs are the stars of the album and the rest is definitely filler for this album but I don’t care, I had fun

Parachutes by Coldplay
Apr 04 2024

It’s not good fight me

Headquarters by The Monkees
Apr 05 2024

Well I enjoyed it. I thought that it was nice music of the time

Play by Moby
Apr 08 2024

Eminem improperly prepared me for Moby. I actually quite liked this. More like chill focus music than techno that I thought

On The Beach by Neil Young
Apr 09 2024

I’d give this a solid 3. Pleasant to listen to but nothing that stuck with me

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Apr 10 2024

Chill background music. Tbh didn’t notice it while doing other things around the house. Probably wouldn’t seek it out but would be surprised if this artist had come up in my sleep music category before

Apr 11 2024

Oh this is fun. Familiar voice with mostly unfamiliar songs to me but you can hear the exuberance of the performance though the recording. Not something that I might seek out all the time but enjoyable nonetheless

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Apr 12 2024

Not my favorite. Kept thinking that this was used on Veronica Mars at some point because it reminded me of the vibe of the soundtrack to that.

Dummy by Portishead
Apr 15 2024

Sultry spy movie sounding tones. This all reminded me of early 2000s movies and I enjoyed it

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 16 2024

This is objectively a good album. It doesn’t hit for me quite as much as it seems others but this wasn’t necessary the music that I grew up on so I don’t have that background. The lack of annunciation really got me because I don’t know what he’s saying most of the time but it’s an album that I would put on again

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Apr 18 2024

Another one of this genre??? I liked it well enough

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Apr 19 2024

A good debut of Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers. American Girl really cemented the follow up albums from this.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 22 2024

Loved this one! First off so many hits, Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou, I mean cmon. And then it’s only roughly a half hour. Should probably give it a five but I’m giving it a four because I know that there will be better CCR to come

Garbage by Garbage
Apr 23 2024

Solid 3 album. Definitely feel the grunge vibe and a better representation than some that we have had come up in here. I like

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Apr 24 2024

I liked this as far as background listening while doing tasks (Grant seems to feel the same way though I wrote this before reading his review)

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 25 2024

Very good album for The Rolling Stones. Gimme Shelter is such a great rock song

Faust IV by Faust
Apr 26 2024

I feel like I could’ve died without hearing this album

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 29 2024

Very good listenable album. Fun change from mostly 90s music

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Apr 30 2024

Perhaps not the most exciting but quite pleasant and I love Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard. A surprise for me to learn that this was #984 out of the original 1000 when I know of at least 16 albums from our project that are worse than it

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
May 01 2024

WOW WE FOUND THE WORST ALBUM this album is fucking weird. also two hours long. This stressed me out to listen to. If I could give less than one star, I would

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
May 03 2024

Really liked this one! I had listened to this one before from a recommendation from Pop Culture Happy hour and really enjoyed the relisten. Great features

Queen II by Queen
May 06 2024

Loved this album! A look at Queen music that I had never heard before but could see all the pathways that led to the music that I know and love

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 07 2024

An enjoyable reggae experience

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
May 08 2024

An enjoyable listen but not the kind that will cause me to come back

Dust by Screaming Trees
May 09 2024

More enjoyable that I had expected it would be (I was worried about nooo not another random 90s rock adjacent album) but still likely not to return

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
May 10 2024

Sounded a lot like the Superbad soundtrack to me which I liked

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
May 15 2024

I can't say that I liked this very much...

Feast of Wire by Calexico
May 16 2024

I really liked this one! Unexpected considering the genre but just a really cool vibe

My Generation by The Who
May 20 2024

I feel like this is where The Who most sounds like the Beatles in a good album but not a great album

Moondance by Van Morrison
May 21 2024

Core memories from childhood of my dad warbling Moondance off key. I think that this album is great straight through. Do I support Van Morrison? No. Have to separate the art and the artist

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
May 22 2024

This was an interesting album that I enjoyed more than I usually would a two hour album

Eagles by Eagles
May 23 2024

Enjoyable album by a band that I have ignored for years

California by American Music Club
May 24 2024

This album was fine

Zombie by Fela Kuti
May 27 2024

This was a cool album, I enjoyed the beats

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 28 2024

An excellent album from top to bottom for a truly talented artist.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
May 30 2024

Wow I did not enjoy this but it is a better example of noise rock than other ones we’ve listened to

Closer by Joy Division
May 31 2024

Most of these songs blended together for me. Don’t necessarily understand the hipster love this group has

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jun 05 2024

Solid Elton John hits. Did NOT know that Indian Sunset is also used in Ghetto Gospel by Tupac. I think that it works better in that song lol

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jun 07 2024

Knew more of these songs than I gave myself credit for. Thought I just didn’t know any Iggy Pop by the unforgettable What Happens in Vegas commercials featured Lust For Life

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 10 2024

A great album. Awesome hits and just the feeling of a gone too soon artist

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 11 2024

I think that I must’ve listened to this album more than I thought as a kid because most of it came back to me while listening. Bridge Over Troubled Water has a very annoying theater kid association to me but I love it

I always think of The Martian when Starman comes on and it is a highlight to me on the album. I think that I don't love David Bowie music, it kind of all sounds the same, which vocally is not as fun, but instrumentally is nice.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jun 13 2024

Not really my vibe for an album but it was nice to hear more music by Deep Purple than Smoke on the Water

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jun 14 2024

This was a cool album. In the last song, I asked the question of is that a theremin which is fun. Listened to at the airport on an early Monday morning

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 17 2024

I liked this album quite a bit, I thought it had some nice covers and enjoyed Willie's voice

Illmatic by Nas
Jun 18 2024

I enjoyed this album

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jun 19 2024

I don’t know that I’d classify this in best albums but I enjoyed it

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jun 20 2024

I always heard people talk about The Smiths with reverence and after we got our first Smiths album, I was like eh I don’t get it. We just got the wrong one first, this album was really good

Jun 21 2024

A nice look at early hip hop but it all sounded the same. Stick to SVU

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jun 24 2024

When I waited in line on Ticketmaster in February 2020, I wouldn't have ever thought that I would have funny tales about my experience with Rages Against the Machines but wow, I really like this album and I really like them. I saw most if not all of these songs live and there really is such an electricity that I didn't expect

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 25 2024

Very 80s, I liked a song or two but I don't think I'll be returning

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 26 2024

Quite cool to listen to pre-Saturday Night Fever Bee Gees but not my favorite

Jun 27 2024

I liked this album, I spent a lot of time trying to think of why they sounded so familiar and Grant said the song America and it allllll clicked

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jun 28 2024

Very cool standards album. Great voice and an easy listen

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 01 2024

I liked this album a lot. It definitely sounded more commercially appealing and I understand how it was successful in that

Jul 02 2024

This album was pleasant. Very reminiscent of the Beatles and a fun read on why they weren’t allowed to tour in the United States

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Jul 03 2024

I have more of fond memories for the album than fondness for the album. Music really sounded the same throughout and was really one note

Smash by The Offspring
Jul 05 2024

Not the best version of its genre but is fun

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jul 08 2024

Fairly boring music that all sounded the same to me

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jul 09 2024

Similar to other British pop of the time, unremarkable but listenable

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jul 10 2024

This album is great with a lot of standouts and familiar music that was fun to listen to going up and back down Mt Etna

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jul 11 2024

Not very exciting or interesting

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 12 2024

I liked this, pleasant for afternoon drive. Vaguely sounded like Lenny Kravitz at points?

Tommy by The Who
Jul 15 2024

Childhood bias for this album but I love this music so much. I used to sing these songs as a kid with my parents

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jul 16 2024

Could not get the voice of Nick’s sports song guy out of my head but I liked the tunes

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Jul 17 2024

Space and psychedelic. Probably didn’t need to be over two hours but it was a nice listen

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Jul 19 2024

Very nostalgic music for me (at least the stuff that I knew). Otherwise, a fun listen to other Missy Elliott songs that I didn’t know

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jul 22 2024

This album sounds so much more modern that it is and so does the album art. Really liked this and it was fun to find out he’s Chef from South Park.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jul 23 2024

This album was fun! Don’t know how much I’ll return to it but an enjoyable listen

Jul 24 2024

Great album of classics and fun songs from the Beatles. Not the most cohesive, but a fun mix of songs that I love. Grant finds When I’m 64 to be relatable today.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Jul 25 2024

Forgot that I listened to this and then had a refresher. Not a good album

Jul 26 2024

I enjoyed this album a lot more than I expected to. I thought that the composition was very fun

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jul 29 2024

This album was very good. Amazing how fast their production was

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jul 30 2024

Not as good as the other Iron Maiden album that we had but I liked it enough

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Jul 31 2024

My knowledge of The Byrds is Turn Turn Turn and to me, everything sounded like that song. Which isn’t the worst thing

Kala by M.I.A.
Aug 02 2024

Paper Planes was probably the only MIA song I knew before this album and though I enjoy that song and that vibe, the rest of the album just sounded like a lot of the same and just not as good.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Aug 05 2024

This is an excellent album wow. Just hit after hit

Aug 07 2024

I think that I like metal and not heavy metal, this was too much yelling for me

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Aug 08 2024

This was some fun Brazilian music. Made me want to dance along.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Aug 12 2024

This album had some good vibes. ZZ Top just has fun music

Homework by Daft Punk
Aug 13 2024

Conveniently named album for how I felt about this album!!! Tbh daft punk are just not the robots for me but it was okay

Different Class by Pulp
Aug 14 2024

I kept getting confused the this album was from sometime in the 70s/80s rather than 1995 because it was so New Wavey and not Blur/Oasis brit pop. Pleasant listening though

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Aug 15 2024

Oui oui, hoh hoh hoh. Very French and something different. Probably won't return but I had fun

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Aug 16 2024

I would say this album is fine. Heard a bunch of the songs on the other Deep Purple album so might’ve leant to some of the staleness for me

Aug 19 2024

Killer Queen is one of my long time favorite songs so loved that representation. The rest was pleasant and fun

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Aug 20 2024

I grew up listening to this album a lot and honestly never realized just how long it is which may be the only mark against it that it could be shortened. But still incredible songs

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Aug 21 2024

Pleasant listen but very similar to most of the other Motown varietals on this list

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 22 2024

Well we missed Cherub Rock in trivia so it shows how memorable I thought that album was after listening. Pretty unremarkable

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Aug 27 2024

I loved this album

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Aug 28 2024

This was a pleasant listen of a lesser represented genre on this list

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Aug 29 2024

Even though I always loved the song Lovefool, I never dug any deeper into the tunes of The Cardigans. I can mostly see why, nothing really remarkable but the singer has a good voice that translates to other songs. Sexy Iron Man was interesting

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Aug 30 2024

Even though I always loved the song Lovefool, I never dug any deeper into the tunes of The Cardigans. I can mostly see why, nothing really remarkable but the singer has a good voice that translates to other songs. Sexy Iron Man was interesting

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Sep 02 2024

I’ve liked the song Immigrant Song since the girl with the dragon tattoo movie which does a cool cover of it. We woke to this album on the day that we were supposed to go to Iceland where ironically, the song was written. Great composition but not the best of Led Zeppelin

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Sep 03 2024

Not the biggest jazz fan most of the time but I liked having this as background while playing fetch with Alfie at the park.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Sep 04 2024

Kate Bush paved the way to be a 15 year old musical genius. I had really only heard Running Up That Hill when it was on Stranger Things but listening to this whole album was a cooler experience than I had initially thought

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Sep 05 2024

I enjoyed the start of this with a more traditional classic piece and then followed up with the more modern interpretations of the rest. I dug it

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Sep 06 2024

So many hits from the 90s that I love and additionally some other very interesting almost spoken word tracks that were deeper than anything I expected from the singer of Soak Up the Sun

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Sep 09 2024

A great horny album but devastating back story. Learned a lot about Marvin Gaye on my flight

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Sep 10 2024

Wake Up has definitely been in commercials before. Reminds me a lot of Bleachers but perhaps not as good.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Sep 11 2024

I really thought that the song Epic came out in like 1994 because it just feels of that time. We also missed that song during trivia the other week so I am now less likely to forget it. However, I did not enjoy this album lol

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Sep 12 2024

Honestly couldn’t help but think every song sounded the same but I love Sabotage and Flute Loop

25 by Adele
Sep 13 2024

Beautiful voice beautiful gowns. There are a few lulls on the album but overall an excellent listen

Blur by Blur
Sep 16 2024

Woo hoo (this album is overrrr) woo hoo (I don’t have to listen to blurr). This album was fine and rather uneventful

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Sep 18 2024

Little screamy for me. Reminds me of Coheed and Cambria and tunes of that genre so I like that aspect but wow did this stress me out while working

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Sep 19 2024

an enjoyable listen, love Clint Eastwood

Arise by Sepultura
Sep 20 2024

I could tell by the name of the band that this would be metal or screaming and I was correct on that assessment. Not enjoyable

Sep 23 2024

Really enjoyed all of the references that go back to this album which was very cool and weirdly coded for Grant and me. A really pleasant listen though. I actively said while listening that I never would consider myself a fan of the genre but I enjoyed listening to it a lot

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Sep 24 2024

It is funny to me that I don’t really think that I’ve ever listened to that much Janelle Monae music. I associate her so much more with acting so music from her has been a blind spot. However, after listening, I don’t think that my thoughts behind that weren’t true. This album had some fun spots but otherwise was an uneventful listen

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Sep 25 2024

Wow this was long. Nice enough as background but not super resonant with me

Sep 26 2024

I couldn’t tell if these songs were a million years long or just that repetitive. Very much feels like music that may have been in The Matrix or movies of that time period.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Sep 27 2024

Honestly often forget about this variety of 90s trancey club music. Not my favorite but decent as background noise. Very randomly and coincidentally I had heard the song Missing by Everything But the Girl on the radio and I swear it’s one of those songs that I know deep down because it was on so many CD infomercials growing up and I still will mess it up if I hear it in the wild

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Sep 30 2024

I really enjoyed this album. Very pleasant listening. Five stars

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 01 2024

Honestly a very good album with some standouts

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Oct 02 2024

This album was really boring lol, didn’t particularly enjoy but I see the merit for the lyrics to jack off to

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Oct 03 2024

Fun global music but nothing that stands out to me

Night Life by Ray Price
Oct 04 2024

Eh probably will not revisit but it was fine

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 08 2024

Excellent example of the genre and great hits to boot. I enjoyed this while wandering the Charlotte airport

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Oct 11 2024

Okay I like southern man but otherwise, why did we let this man become a solo artist? I think that the songs would be better not sung by him

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Oct 14 2024

Enjoyable album to listen to around California. Fun and familiar songs but outside of the singles, not the greatest songs

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Oct 16 2024

I liked this album as far as easy listening. I liked his other album better though

No Other by Gene Clark
Oct 17 2024

Had to laugh that shortly after I said that I really liked this album, I read the Wikipedia where it said the following- ‘it was largely ignored or lambasted by critics and was a commercial failure’.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Oct 18 2024

Ugh the prom king rock. I did not enjoy this album as a whole. I liked the singles aka the ones society pushed on me but everything else is dribble.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Oct 21 2024

I liked this overall as a sound. I always find it interesting to listen to Elvis Costello because I never think the music makes sense for when it is coming out (1977).

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 22 2024

This album made me fire off my hot take of not really liking Bruce Springsteen. I understand my minority take but most of the time I can’t really understand what he’s singing. Overall though, listenable album but outside the singles, I find the music repetitive

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Oct 23 2024

Very pleasant listening. Not sure that any of these songs besides Maybe I'm Amazed are super great but I had fun

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Oct 24 2024

Pleasant listening and I liked it well enough.

Green by R.E.M.
Oct 28 2024

Outside of Stand and Orange Crush, I didn’t really know much of the other songs but I could see where it was building from here with the mandolin that eventually leads to Losing My Religion that I love

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 29 2024

A great album that is basically the magnum opus of what Jack Antonoff can do. Truly not a bad song on the album and vibes that are nearly unmatched

Blackstar by David Bowie
Oct 30 2024

Eh I can’t say that I am a fan of this album. As said in an earlier Bowie, I don’t think that I am a huge Bowie person and this album just seemed superfluous and added just because it’s Bowie.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Oct 31 2024

At first I thought that this sounded like an Irish Bruce Springsteen cover band, but it went downhill from there

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 01 2024

Truly a near perfect album. Bangers left and right

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Nov 08 2024

This was a fun album. Didn’t know that Timbaland was producing at this time but I can see the influences

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Nov 11 2024

Enjoyable psychedelia rock. I, for whatever reason, thought Sunshine of Your Love was a different song so interesting to me

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Nov 12 2024

Fun beats that I would come back to listen to again

Nov 13 2024

A fun album that provides a good level of nostalgia for college years

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Nov 18 2024

I had a lot of fun with this one. I don’t consider myself to be vey knowledgeable of BB King’s music but I liked it all while we put up Christmas decorations

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Nov 19 2024

Feels very influenced by Joan Jett in a fun way. Grant made reference to the singer sounding like the singer from Rush which also felt similar sounding

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Nov 20 2024

Can’t say that I enjoyed. It was pretty standard early 2000s alt that is not really my jam

Nov 21 2024

Fairly standard Bob Dylan. Everything besides Mr Tamborine Man sounded very similar

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Nov 22 2024

This goes along the line of now how but why does something like this make this list? It's fine, enjoyable enough, but as far as staying power on me, it lacks anything special that makes me want to return to it.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Nov 25 2024

As I told Grant many times, I have done a deep dive on Walk of Life earlier because I could not remember the name of it for the longest time. Otherwise, a very enjoyable album!

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Nov 26 2024

I think that I’ve always had the opinion that Radiohead was kind of boring. Like their biggest song is Creep which is pretty boring. I kind of liked it though

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Nov 27 2024

Vibey, reminded me a lot of The xx. Nice for beach listening as we did

Opus Dei by Laibach
Nov 28 2024

The entire time, we said that this is a Nick Lupinetti album. It was quite fun and quite German. Not my favorite type of music but I had a good time listening to it on the beach

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Nov 29 2024

Honestly could not distinguish any of the songs from one another

Purple Rain by Prince
Dec 02 2024

A classic album with great songs and fun

Faith by George Michael
Dec 05 2024

Fun and frothy 80s. Grant made a comment that it sounded like George Michael was trying to do Prince which I think is a fair assessment but I had a lot of fun

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Dec 06 2024

I'm back to the stance of The Smiths not being my vibe and I don't have a great understanding why so many people revere them

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 09 2024

Another album that I listened to a lot as a kid. Everything still holds up to me except the song Almost Cut My Hair which now feels like a song by the sports guy

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Dec 10 2024

I enjoyed this album, The Doors are very much aligned with music that I enjoy so always open. Grant and I laughed when realizing that this album was recorded in the bathroom of the hot dog shop we went to in Los Angeles.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Dec 11 2024

Decent jazzy music if I was waiting on the phone for something

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Dec 12 2024

Very pleasant spa music. Would be great for a bath

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Dec 13 2024

Funny coincidence in the radio post album that they sang All the Young Dudes when there was a song called Hymn for the Dudes on the album. Otherwise, I found this album to be an enjoyable listen while not being super interesting

Dec 16 2024

Truly an excellent album. No skips listening (though I don’t love Bennie and the Jett’s)

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Dec 18 2024

A little whiny but still pretty good

Dec 19 2024

Reminded me a lot of my brother in law. I think as a music, it takes itself very seriously but overall pleasant to listen to

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Dec 20 2024

Really liked this album! Very reminiscent of Oasis and that age of alternative which is kind of hit or miss for me

Dec 23 2024

I liked this album and the songs are some that I remember hearing. See Hozier’s coincidentally playing the one song on SNL this past weekend

xx by The xx
Dec 24 2024

Tbh kind of boring to me but not the worst listen

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Dec 25 2024

Honestly a great album. What Linkin Park did to mix hip hop and commercial metal music is an interesting feat and still are bangers

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Dec 27 2024

A solid two for me. Nice to listen to something new but not for me

Sea Change by Beck
Dec 30 2024

I think that Beck is not my vibe, I found it boring

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Dec 31 2024

Didn’t realize that Superstition was on this album going into it! Thought that all of the bangers were on Songs in the Key of Life. This album was really good though, great cheerful songs

Nixon by Lambchop
Jan 01 2025
New Forms by Roni Size
Jan 02 2025

I don't think that I enjoy when electro songs are all over 7 minutes long and repetitive

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jan 03 2025

Bonus points for Sultans of Swing but a 3 overall

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 06 2025

Very nostalgic for college years with this album. I definitely had more of a fondness in my mind for it loving the song Thinkin’ Bout You. Everything else was not quite as memorable but still a good listen

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jan 07 2025

A deep dive I had once done in high school and one of the most quintessential psychedelic pieces rock albums. Very fun

Moon Safari by Air
Jan 08 2025

I was so confused listening to this album, I swear that we had heard this music before and then I couldn't find anything on the web that references it being similar so I don't know. Super easy listening though and enjoyable

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Jan 09 2025

Beginning of album sounded very Sheryl Crow but further in feels almost like a Janis Joplin meets Lilith Fair style.

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 13 2025

Not my favorite music but I had fun

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 14 2025

Very Killers vibes, had to honestly look up when Hot Fuss came out to make sure there was some distance and was kind of surprised to see it. Very much a retread but the music is pretty good.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 20 2025

A great album to listen to while in labor. Might’ve stressed the nurses to listen to

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jan 21 2025

Super solid album with fun hits

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Jan 24 2025

Cool to hear the groundbreaking female rap star from her time but not my favorite

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jan 27 2025

My personal favorite album. I grew up on Meatloaf and Jim Steinman so this is perfection to me. The over the top nature of the music is fun

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 28 2025

Honestly very enjoyable and kind of corny music of the 80s. I liked.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jan 29 2025

Reminded me a lot of the moody songs they would put over the game of thrones season trailers. I liked it enough that I would revisit

White Light by Gene Clark
Jan 30 2025

I really enjoyed this. The covers were nice and all of the music was solid easy listening

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 03 2025

Wow she really meant the whole songbook. Great vocals with music that felt a little boring but I did know a lot of the songs from chorus or band in high school

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Feb 04 2025

I enjoyed this one more than the other Elliott Smith albums that we have had.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Feb 05 2025

A better album than I would’ve thought for an artist I only knew one song from. Take Me Out is the biggest bop though

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Feb 06 2025

Fun timing from hearing him at the Grammys. Fun funky album

Murmur by R.E.M.
Feb 10 2025
The College Dropout by Kanye West
Feb 11 2025

The haters will hate but this is a very good album containing my favorite Kanye

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Feb 12 2025

Biased but I love cat Stevens. Nice album that we listened to waking up with Lottie

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Feb 13 2025

This album is fun with great bangers of my youth

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 17 2025

Not the greatest of The Doors but still a solid album

Abraxas by Santana
Feb 18 2025

Incredible guitar playing and great hits

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Feb 20 2025

This reminded me of middle school boys

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Feb 24 2025

I enjoyed this album as far. As far as the Talkinh Heads go, I still don’t really understand them as a phenomenon

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Feb 27 2025

This is a genre that anytime we’ve had it, I’ve had a lot of fun!

Live At Leeds by The Who
Feb 28 2025

Not a huge proponent for live albums but I love the Who

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Mar 04 2025

I liked the first song and could’ve sworn that I knew it from somewhere. I still might but I don’t know where

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Mar 05 2025

Very Joni Mitchell vibes but not as poetic but with better singing. Don’t know if I’ll return but liked it well enough

Vulnicura by Björk
Mar 06 2025

I had guessed that I wouldn't enjoy Bjork without ever listening to her. Listening then confirmed it

Mar 07 2025

Not big on live albums but I’ll make an exception because this one was really good

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 10 2025

Excellent songwriting with a good voice to match. The beats of the other songs didn’t really super stand out but I would revisit

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 11 2025

I really enjoy the Yeah Yeah Yeahs style and this album was a good listen

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Mar 12 2025

TBH did not know that they had music before Sex on fire

Ctrl by SZA
Mar 14 2025

SZA is great

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 17 2025

Fun and soulful album. Lots that I recognized with some that I didn’t know was them

Mar 19 2025

More psychedelic than I expected from the creators of Turn turn Turn but a nice blend of folk and other music from the time

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Mar 21 2025

Funky but not the best Gaye

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 24 2025

This was cool! Don’t know how much I would revisit but it was good

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Mar 26 2025

It had some good songs but in the end most of it sounds the same

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Apr 01 2025

Good vibes to listen to around the house

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Apr 02 2025

I had a lot of fun but made me question why is this on the list

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Apr 03 2025

Vibesy. Overall pleasant music but not really my genre

The Clash by The Clash
Apr 04 2025

I just wanted there to be a song called The Clash to triple up the name. Eh this music is fine. I took a class on Punk Rock in college and I just never really enjoyed the music

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Apr 07 2025

All of the Black Sabbath hits with me singing Move Bitch throughout War Pigs

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Apr 08 2025

Felt like Arcade Fire meets Bruce Springsteen, I liked it

Apr 09 2025

Funner album than I anticipated. Album art was pretty moody. Very Carly coded music from an artist I had never heard of before

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Apr 10 2025

This album was so weird but it was fun

Boston by Boston
Apr 11 2025

Banger after banger

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Apr 14 2025

Big dad music vibes, I recall my dad asking me to get The Weight from iTunes when he was new to the program. Anyway good solid album

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 15 2025

The highs are very high on this album with some eh’s in there too

Leftism by Leftfield
Apr 16 2025

Kind of fun but forgetable

Traffic by Traffic
Apr 17 2025

Hardcore dad music, I enjoyed

Pump by Aerosmith
Apr 18 2025

Eh it was fun, I liked it

Be by Common
Apr 21 2025

I don't think that I enjoy Common in either way that I've consumed his content lately - musically or acting in Silo

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Apr 22 2025

Nice jazz album but probably not revisiting

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Apr 24 2025

Kind of droned by the end of it, not a fan

Hotel California by Eagles
Apr 25 2025

My dad used to put this on during roadtrips so everything about it is familiar and it is a good album

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 28 2025

You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not. You can see what Lennon did for the Beatles in this album while also seeing where the others could’ve stepped in to brush up some of the edges

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 29 2025

Easily one of my favorite albums with bangers that I grew up loving

Goo by Sonic Youth
May 01 2025

Not a fan of the sonic youths. Quite boring

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
May 05 2025

A change of pace for 80s music. I feel like I haven’t heard a ton of their music and it was adequate

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 08 2025

Dont love the man Van but love his music and voice

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
May 09 2025

I would like to know more about why the Brits have such an affinity. This was fine??

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 12 2025

Inarguably one of the greatest albums ever. Simple songs that are just forever resonant

evermore by Taylor Swift
May 14 2025

I love this album. I like the collaboration between her and bon iver for this album

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
May 16 2025

Apropos album title

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
May 20 2025

The realization that this is the group that did Bang a Gong hit like a gong. Very fun music

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
May 21 2025

Jazz but jazz that I enjoyed? I don't have a discerning palette to jazz music

21 by Adele
May 22 2025

Fantastic hits. Only ding that there’s a few boring songs on here

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
May 23 2025

Strictly only really remember Love Hurts from Veronica mars. Fairly enjoyable album

May 26 2025

Probably the best that U2 has to offer but I find them annoying

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
May 28 2025

Just a lot of audible groaning sounds to me

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
May 30 2025

Enjoyable album! I recognized many! Baby I Love Your Way was on our short list for first dance songs at our wedding so appropriate for it to fall on our anniversary

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 02 2025

When the haters come for me for saying that Bruce Springsteen is not really my thing, this is the Bruce that is my thing...for the most part

Low by David Bowie
Jun 03 2025
Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 04 2025

Kind of weird and drone-y. A little longer than I wanted it to be but hey there's that random song from Harry Potter

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jun 05 2025

ehh not my fave

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jun 09 2025

I liked this album for the most part. Nominated for Best Album at the Grammys amongst all other albums that are on this list and Fallen by Evanescence which WOW WHAT A MISS BY THIS LIST

Dookie by Green Day
Jun 10 2025

Me singing When I Come Around with the lyrics of Be Our Guest quite annoyingly

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 11 2025

Pretty subpar of the Neil young experience

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jun 12 2025

Interesting album. Clocked the horror theme to begin with

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

I feel like I'm being gaslit that Brian Wilson is actually a genius because I thought that this was fine

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jun 17 2025

I enjoyed this more than I thought that I would

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Jun 24 2025

I liked this a lot ! Had never heard of it prior but very much enjoyed

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Jun 25 2025

I think this is just not a genre that I love. I thought that this album was fine

The Man Who by Travis
Jun 26 2025

This album once again shows the creator’s interest in 90s alternative albums. This one was okay

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jun 30 2025

Great vocals but bored without a stand out song

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jul 01 2025

Album contained Alfie’s theme song. Brought a lot of childhood memories 🥰

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jul 02 2025

Kept waiting for Seven Nation Army that never came (idk any other white stripes music). It was okay I guess

The La's by The La's
Jul 03 2025

There She Goes holds a deep love for me from The Parent Trap (much like any millennial girl). Everything else was fine to enjoyable

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Jul 04 2025

I thought that this album was pretty cool. Not something that I'm necessarily revisiting a ton but I had a good time.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 08 2025

Ehhhhh

S&M by Metallica
Jul 09 2025

Very much enjoyed a lot of this but dinged points for being a bit too long

Who's Next by The Who
Jul 10 2025

5 out of 5, 10 out of 10. Easily one of my favorite albums ever

All Directions by The Temptations
Jul 14 2025

Papa Was A Rolling Stone is a classic, otherwise everything else was okay

Debut by Björk
Jul 15 2025

I always thought that Matt and Bowen on Las Cultch had a lot of reverence for Bjork but couldn't understand it with the other album that we got. This one makes more sense with the more euro dance pop genre. I had fun

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Jul 16 2025

Pleasant laid back music. Kind of reminded me of the vibes of Joni Mitchell though not quite as good. Enjoyed

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 21 2025

I loved this! Great feels and vibes while also having a super enjoyable radio on Spotify after

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 22 2025

Pretty good album without any standout hits. As Grant had mentioned to me that Paint It Black is on this album but not the UK version and it feels like the part that was missing

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

RIP Ozzy but I didn't like this as much as Paranoid

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jul 25 2025

excellent album through and through

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jul 28 2025

Great hits with moderate filler

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jul 29 2025

Mostly just jazz that I cannot distinguish from other jazz but I thought that it was nice

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Aug 01 2025

This was a fun album but I don’t know how many times I’d revisit

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Aug 05 2025

Funky. I liked

Black Metal by Venom
Aug 06 2025

I don't think that I found any redeeming quality in this album. Sad.

Aug 07 2025

Accidentally listened to the double album so I need to rate this based on the real album. It was fine. Very reminiscent of Runaround Sue that I knew this guy from. Preferred the back half of the double album but that doesn't count!!

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Aug 08 2025

Well I had fun with this. I don't know that I would describe it as an album you must listen to but GROOVE IS THE HEAAAAARRRTTTT

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Aug 11 2025

Good Michael Jackson but not the best Michael Jackson

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Aug 12 2025

Having heard Trent Reznor do so many movie soundtracks has made me way more open to the music of NIN and though I prefer the movie work, this is still good

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Aug 14 2025

🫠 I don't need anymore of his music

Achtung Baby by U2
Aug 18 2025

YAWN. I don't feel quite as strongly about U2 as I do about Coldplay but it's pretty close. Never forget my choir's rendition of One (derogatory)

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Aug 20 2025

I too wanted to make the joke Black Hole Fun, but I am late to it. I enjoyed

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Aug 22 2025

Honestly not that great of an album. Vocals are obviously very good but overall not an album I want to listen to

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Aug 26 2025

This album had some ups and downs. I liked a lot of the beginning and then it got kind of weird. Mixed reviews

Ten by Pearl Jam
Aug 27 2025

Smells like the 90s.

Guero by Beck
Aug 29 2025

I still don't know if I get Beck but I liked this better than most of Beck

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Sep 02 2025

A lottttt of screeching

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Sep 08 2025

This was quite fun. Now I get the reference from Mean Girls

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Sep 09 2025

This album from a band I had only ever heard one song was fine. That one song, excellent

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Sep 10 2025

A blast from the past that has super fun hits.

Wild Gift by X
Sep 11 2025

Very Joan Jett adjacent music

I See You by The xx
Sep 15 2025

I liked this album more than i thought that I would. I don't know much from the xx but very vibesy

Risque by CHIC
Sep 16 2025

Le freak, ces chic!

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Sep 19 2025

Eh not my favorite but kind of fun

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Sep 22 2025

Pretty one note through out the whole album. Pleasant but why is this on the list?

Make Yourself by Incubus
Sep 23 2025

More than just Drive I suppose

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Sep 24 2025

A lot of classics on this album that are overall good to great songs. A little bit of filler but a solid listen

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Sep 25 2025

I enjoyed this while cooking

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Sep 30 2025

Led Zeppelin is good. Groundbreaking.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Oct 03 2025

Did I like this? Yes. Did I need 90 minutes of it? No.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Oct 06 2025

Sappy wife guy singing to his wife

Heroes by David Bowie
Oct 07 2025

Honestly outside of Heroes, kind of a bore

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Oct 09 2025

I enjoyed this. Very nostalgic and old timey

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Oct 10 2025

Had me singing Girl From Ipanema for hours

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Oct 13 2025

I don't know if I get the love for Sonic Youth but it was good enough

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Oct 20 2025

My preferable Bowie. I had gotten very bored by many of them but I liked this one

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Oct 22 2025

I remember playing this song in marching band. Luckily not the 17 minute version of it

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Oct 27 2025

Stills trying to distinguish the Crosby, the Stills, the Nash and I've got the Young. I liked this album

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Oct 31 2025

Very Duran Duran vibes but not as good so pretty mid.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 03 2025

This album was fine. Nothing as good as Come on Eileen

Bossanova by Pixies
Nov 06 2025

Eh not my kind of music

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 07 2025

To be honest, the composition and everything is pretty good but this could not keep my attention

Revolver by Beatles
Nov 10 2025

GROUNDBREAKING OF ME TO SAY THIS WAS GREAT. Made even better right before seeing Paul McCartney in concert

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Nov 12 2025

I had never heard of this group or album but it made for a really good work background soundtrack (complementary)

Cross by Justice
Nov 13 2025

Sounds a lot like Tron, I liked!

Low-Life by New Order
Nov 14 2025

This was fine

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Nov 17 2025

I need some answers as to why the UK loves Kings of Leon. When their other album came up on here, I was like oh cool whatever, this is no Sex On Fire. But now we’re here and I still am wondering why they’re here. I like this album but I’m just confused!!!!

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Nov 20 2025

This was interesting to be a Beach Boys album. No the usual Surfin Safari but not for the better

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 27 2025

Excellent album. Joni at her peak. The others that have come up were okay to good but this one shines

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Dec 02 2025

I can't say that this album made any impression on me

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Dec 03 2025

I enjoyed this a lot. This list has helped me realize that I like Metallica

OK Computer by Radiohead
Dec 04 2025

I still don't know that I get Radiohead but I liked this one I suppose

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Dec 08 2025

Definitely a cool album. I had never actually heard of anything by Courtney Love (constantly got Hole confused with Garbage - common mistake I'm sure) but this was better than I had expected

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Dec 09 2025

Ehhh another British adjacent pop punk. Nothing special but listenable

Pornography by The Cure
Dec 10 2025

Rather repeatable from the other Cure examples from the list

Arrival by ABBA
Dec 15 2025

Five stars, excellent album. Bring out Meryl and Lily James

Future Days by Can
Dec 18 2025

Interesting background music but slightly too interesting to work to.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Dec 22 2025

This was fun. Grant had informed me as to how old this record is which is incredible

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Dec 24 2025

The reviews gave me a lot of questions because I liked this lol

OK by Talvin Singh
Dec 25 2025

Fairly boring

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Dec 29 2025

Decent album with more interesting anecdotes of groups that Eric Clapton has been involved in

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 01 2026

I once again do not necessarily understand the Neil Young experience. I like Crosby, Stills and Nash more

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jan 02 2026

I remember thinking as Grant started playing that this sounds like The Byrds and I cannot say if that is a good or bad thing but pleasant enough

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jan 06 2026

MORE BOWIE AHHHH it's still Bowie so high floor, it was fine

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jan 07 2026

An excellent album from start to finish, not groundbreaking to say. Super quick listen but all bangers

One World by John Martyn
Jan 08 2026

Not as soothing as Solid Air but an enjoyable listen

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jan 09 2026

I'm very bored with PJ Harvey how is there so much

American Gothic by David Ackles
Jan 12 2026

I do not understand lol not for me

The Band by The Band
Jan 20 2026

Overall a good album. A lot of songs that I recognized and felt nostalgic because my dad liked them.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jan 21 2026

Fun sounds. I imagine that this is the best version of this kind of music and I found it enjoyable

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Jan 22 2026

Eh this was pretty boring

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jan 26 2026

Okay I loved this

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jan 30 2026

Not the best Steve Winwood hits bur an enjoyable listen for people named Carly

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Feb 11 2026

Can't say that this stuck out as anything amazing

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Feb 12 2026

I recognized one song from an episode of Degrassi and what does that say about me but this was not notable

Berlin by Lou Reed
Feb 13 2026

Kids kept confusing me with the crying baby

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 16 2026

A bit of a couldn’t place this album time wise. Had some vibes of Chris Stapleton and was pretty good

The Doors by The Doors
Feb 17 2026

This was their debut???? Very good album

The Visitors by ABBA
Feb 20 2026

Abba Silver but still great

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Feb 23 2026

This was fun AND everything sounded like Oye Como Va

Copper Blue by Sugar
Feb 24 2026

Eh another on the list of 90s grunge Nirvana adjacent rock. Blah

Live! by Fela Kuti
Feb 26 2026

One of my favorite finds from this list is Fela Kuti and how much I like his music

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Feb 27 2026

Yet another Eric Clapton contribution to the list. I like that the title points out the most important song though

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Mar 04 2026

Not quite the music I expected. More country than lesbian indie rock

Cut by The Slits
Mar 05 2026

Eh this seemed like a fine version of an 80s punky girl group

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Mar 06 2026

I liked this album more than i thought that I would

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Mar 10 2026

Very familiar sounding that I believe that my mom might've listened to (I know I probably said this about the other Faiport Convention / Jefferson Airplane album that we had)

Mar 16 2026

I have been wanting to do a deep dive on Lana Del Rey. I enjoyed this album and want to hear more

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Mar 19 2026

Another questionable 80s album that sounds like the flurry of 80s albums

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 20 2026

Enjoyable album of songs that I had heard. Second best Sledgehammer out there

White Ladder by David Gray
Mar 23 2026

This album sounded so hauntingly familiar the whole time like I had heard it in commercials or tv so often. I liked it

Mar 25 2026

Aggressive but I had a fun time. Really can't beat some of his early rhymes and melodies

Palo Congo by Sabu
Mar 26 2026

Cuban rumba but also bossa nova sounding to me. Oye Como Va has just been stuck in my head for weeks

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 27 2026

I remember Matt and Bowen talking about how when they went to college, they would bring this up in conversation to signal that they were cool and I get it now

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Mar 30 2026

Moreeee UK alt man

D by White Denim
Apr 02 2026

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Apr 03 2026

These types of albums are why I enjoy doing this generator. Would've never heard this and enjoyed it though I may not revisit.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Apr 07 2026

Enjoyable as a different genre but got old fast.

Apr 08 2026

Freedom 90 is a great song also a great cover from Pitch Perfect. Otherwise a lot of these songs just vaguely sounded like Freedom 90

Apr 09 2026

Culture that made you say culture was for you = this album for me, sweet 7th grader. Probably one of the first albums that I had found and decided was my personality for a while. Like my AIM away message often just read 'Some might say we will find a brighter day' in a moody font because yes I was that girl. I remember thinking that I was bringing up some groundbreaking thing when I realized Don't Look Back in Anger sampled Imagine in the beginning. Yeah, I was at an impressionable age when I listened to this for the first time and genuinely LOVED Wonderwall. I still love it but also get the cringe now.

Tago Mago by Can
Apr 10 2026

I liked this for a while and then i got sick of it, Consistent with how I feel about krautrock

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Apr 15 2026

I enjoyed this. Never heard of them before but I liked the tunes

Vespertine by Björk
Apr 23 2026

Wench keeps on wailing

Odelay by Beck
Apr 27 2026

I liked this album well enough. I think some of the songs were recognizable for me

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Apr 29 2026

All I could keep thinking of was Tom's Diner which was not on this album

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Apr 30 2026

A+ for name, eh B- for tunes

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
May 01 2026

Eh just not super my favorite genre

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
May 05 2026

While not my favorite genre, a good example of country

Damaged by Black Flag
May 06 2026

Now more than just a reference in the updated Boys of Summer song. Not in a good way

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
May 07 2026

Further on the record of I do not care for this man's music

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
May 11 2026

I been thinkin I been thinkin, that this album is very good. Probably one of the first really good album that was introduced to me at an age where I could have more opinions on it

Rapture by Anita Baker
May 13 2026

I thought that Anita Baker was more disco diva than what this was. Meh

The Bends by Radiohead
May 14 2026

Probably the most familiar Radiohead album to me. Also sounds like Coldplay to me. I like a few of the songs but not really my vibe

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
May 15 2026

Plz never play Allergies for me again. Otherwise, standard Paul Simon album with no hits.

Protection by Massive Attack
May 19 2026

I do not understand this affinity for Massive Attack

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 21 2026

I find this man boring. Yet again.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
May 25 2026

The Poet by Bobby Womack
May 26 2026

This was pretty fun and easy to listen to

Tidal by Fiona Apple
May 27 2026

What a great intro to an artist. The incredible pole dance of J. Lo. in Hustlers to Criminal

1977 by Ash
Jun 01 2026

Very much fine background music, idk why it's here but again FINE

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jun 02 2026

Not the biggest Cyndi Lauper girl but this album does speak to the time in being super similar to the vibe that Madonna an The Bangles were also putting out

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 03 2026

Again, not really remarkable but fine

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Jun 04 2026

Fairly unremarkable but fine listening. Mistook this for Nick Cave that we listened to yesterday

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jun 05 2026

Just nonstop bangers.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jun 08 2026

Psycho Killer = banger, everything else I again ask why? I just don't really get Talking Heads that much

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jun 15 2026

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jun 18 2026

I enjoyed this. Sounded like a young Cher

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jun 19 2026

This sounded like Rod Stewart the entire time (complementary)

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jun 22 2026

I was like we just had an album by her (it was 2 weeks ago) and this one doesn't have Criminal but also doesn't have many great tracks

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jun 24 2026

Looking at the writers on this album is insane

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Jun 25 2026

Felt like a Zooey Deschanel of their time album

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jun 29 2026

Not my favorite and went into Bjork radio after so weird

Drunk by Thundercat
Jun 30 2026

This was cool

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jul 03 2026

Eh Pour Some Sugar on Me is good but the rest is meh

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jul 09 2026

Interesting to hear the later tunes from Elvis's music. Also thought that this was Tom Jones when it popped on

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jul 14 2026

Not too deep but still enjoyable. Just how I want my Oasis

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jul 15 2026

Was waiting for You've Got a Friend in Me that never came
