Popular Reviews

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley

This whole album felt like a cigarette with a cup of coffee. 5 stars

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy

This was AWESOME. It was like Kiss, but enjoyable

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

This album has some amazing textures and is a perfect blend of electronic music with a full band. I love Radiohead so much

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal

I’m gonna just file this under, “not my thing”

1-Star Albums (52)

All Ratings (591)

Feb 22 2024

This album has a few very memorable songs and the rest are more or less forgettable. Sounds like 2 potheads that had to write 7 filler songs

The Yes Album by Yes
Feb 23 2024

Spent years thinking that Roundabout was the only good Yes song. This album has proved me wrong

Cross by Justice
Feb 26 2024

Wasn’t expecting a dance album.. It’s not really my thing, but it is a 52 minute long banger

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Feb 27 2024

One of my all time favorite albums. The deluxe edition has an extended version of Wasted Hours that is incredible

Feb 28 2024

Great album, I’ve never really listened to REM outside of singles but this is a beautiful album

1999 by Prince
Feb 29 2024

I stopped at D.S.M.R. Prince is one of the greatest musical minds of all time. He was an incredible multi-instrumentalist and an absolute legend in every sense of the word.. With that said, I hated this album so much. I didn’t even finish it, and even skipped a couple songs. All of the tracks seem to be at least 2 minutes longer than they needed to be. I’d rather scoop my eardrums out with a cocaine spoon than listen to this ever again

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Mar 01 2024

Even though I’m not really into soundscapes, this was really good. It’s mostly 2 tracks but they have so many dynamics that it was fun to listen to

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 04 2024

This is the first Chili Peppers album I’ve listened to cover to cover, and I’ve gotta say I loved it. It’s great driving music but they’re all bangers too

Mar 05 2024

This album is fine, but the tracks are almost out of order. Why Starlight is not in the middle of the album, I’ll never understand. Muse has better albums

Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 06 2024

Perfect album cover to cover. Nirvana isn’t one of my favorites, but listening to this makes their huge success understandable

Mar 07 2024

Such a dramatic album but still only getting 4 stars because of all the skits

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Mar 08 2024

This was really good. It reminds me of Beach House if they were a 90s band.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Mar 11 2024

This was a non stop intensity from beginning to end. My first time listening to them and I definitely get the hype

C'est Chic by CHIC
Mar 12 2024

I’m not sure why this is on this list. It’s listenable and not a bad album but every song sounds more or less the same

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Mar 14 2024

This is one of the most epic, timeless albums I’ve ever listened to

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 15 2024

I don’t get it. Had some good songs, but by and large it’s a bunch of drunk friends trying to play the blues

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Mar 18 2024

A bunch of catchy, clever songs from an almost unknown indie band

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Mar 19 2024

I doubt I’ll ever listen to it again as I’m not a fan of her voice but this was still really enjoyable

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Mar 20 2024

This reminds me of a middle eastern Massive Attack. I recognize that it’s good but it’s just not my thing

Mar 21 2024

This sucked. There’s no other way to put it. A majority of the songs are just 5 minutes of them saying the song title over and over and over again. Hated it

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Mar 22 2024

This whole album felt like a cigarette with a cup of coffee. 5 stars

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 25 2024

This was absolutely explosive. Even though there was some unnecessary jamming, I could tell that they were just full of energy and locked in together

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Mar 26 2024

I’ve never understood the Lou Reed hype. Adding Nico to this only made something I already don’t like worse. Not a fan

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Mar 27 2024

This was a good album with some great harmonies and really nice instrumentation. It was also tastefully psychedelic. My only complaint is that it’s very much trying to do what the Beatles were doing at the time

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Mar 28 2024

I didn’t have time to listen to the full thing. Will listen tomorrow

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Apr 01 2024

This is 22 minutes of the 12 bar blues and other people’s songs. Jerry Lee Lewis was also a piece of shit. Fuck this guy and fuck this album

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 02 2024

This album is great cover to cover. Bonus points for the go-go beats

#1 Record by Big Star
Apr 03 2024

This sounds like a great driving album. Didn’t know the theme song for That 70’s Show was a cover. Pretty cool

Apr 04 2024

I would love to revisit this while flying. It’s beautiful but the album title describes it perfectly. This would be perfect to listen to while people watching at the airport

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 05 2024

This album has some amazing textures and is a perfect blend of electronic music with a full band. I love Radiohead so much

Kid A by Radiohead
Apr 08 2024

I’m so glad I got this one the day after Hail to the Thief. Much like Hail to the Thief, Kid A is a work of art

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Apr 09 2024

I’ve never been a huge fan of the Smiths but this album was awesome

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Apr 10 2024

This album is really pretty and it has a lot of different textures, but ultimately it sounds like something hippie chicks listen to when they brush their armpit hair.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Apr 12 2024

Sounds like empty nester dad poetry

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Apr 15 2024

Never liked the Talking Heads and this didn’t change that

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Apr 16 2024

I’ve heard Another Piece of my Heart before and all of these songs sound like drunks at a BBQ. 3 stars for Janis though

Kenza by Khaled
Apr 18 2024

I hated it. I really don’t care for this style/genre/microtonal singing

The Libertines by The Libertines
Apr 19 2024

This album sucks. “Let’s just play out of tune! None of us can sing, might as well moan whatever the song title is.” What an awful piece of shit this album was

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Apr 23 2024

Elton John is the master of piano ballads, but it gets exhausting when it’s a full album of them

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Apr 24 2024

I like The Who a lot but this was exhausting to listen to

War by U2
Apr 25 2024

I’ve always loved The Joshua Tree, but I never listened to War outside of the singles. Awesome album, aggressive drum sound

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Apr 26 2024

I’ve listened to this a few times in the past. Not my thing but it’s a great example of how to make odd time signatures easy to listen to

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Apr 29 2024

I’ve never cared for the White Stripes aside from a few songs. Listening to this album changed nothing

Apr 30 2024

This album means the world to me. I know it makes me sound like a redneck, if anyone ever says anything bad about Lynyrd Skynyrd, I would quickly direct them to this masterpiece

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
May 01 2024

This was my first time enjoying something with Jeff Tweedy, Billy Bragg was great too. I’ve never heard of him before this

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
May 02 2024

This was incredibly boring. Just strings and synths behind someone who listened to far too much Bob Dylan.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
May 03 2024

I’m going to finish this tomorrow, but it’s so good. I can’t see myself changing the rating

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
May 06 2024

This was alright but it all kind of ran together. Interesting version of Heard it through the Grapevine

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
May 07 2024

I recognize it as good but it’s not my thing

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
May 10 2024

DJ Shadow is so awesome. This is one of my favorite albums

Smash by The Offspring
May 13 2024

I’ve never been a big fan of The Offspring, this changed nothing. The singles are the only unique songs

Synchronicity by The Police
May 14 2024

This is fine. Not a huge fan of The Police

Sail Away by Randy Newman
May 15 2024

I love Randy Newman but this was my first time listening to a full album. This was a great listen, highly recommend to anyone

May 16 2024

This sounds like you’re in a Starbucks and the only thing they’re serving is MDMA Not my thing

Snivilisation by Orbital
May 17 2024

This wasn’t bad or anything, I just couldn’t finish it. It sounded like the music they play during intimate scenes in Lifetime movies

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 20 2024

One of my all time favorites

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
May 21 2024

Do the Japanese only clap on the 2 and the 4??

Justified by Justin Timberlake
May 22 2024

I didn’t finish it but I’ve listened to this before. It’s a solid pop album

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
May 23 2024

She’s a national treasure but ultimately not my bag

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
May 24 2024

I’ve smoked every day for almost 15 years. I still hate stoner culture and songs about weed. Considering that, this album was controversial at the time and Peter Tosh is a reggae god

Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 27 2024

I’m not a huge fan of her vocals but this is a beautiful album and she’s an incredible songwriter

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
May 28 2024

This is entertaining. Definitely a good chill road trip album

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
May 29 2024

I love the blues, but because of the production choices of the 80’s, this sucks

Purple Rain by Prince
May 30 2024

This is worlds better than 1999. Thoroughly enjoyable

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
May 31 2024

French NIN. I really liked it

Jun 03 2024

Come on.. it’s Dark Side of the Moon. No review needed, but I do hope Animals is on this list

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jun 05 2024

This was pretty good, very relaxing

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jun 06 2024

I honestly thought this was boring and everything sounded the same

Hotel California by Eagles
Jun 10 2024

I’ve never listened to a full Eagles album. I really enjoyed this

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 11 2024

I actually liked this more than expected

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Jun 12 2024

I’m in the middle of this but it’s pretty good. I’ve always like Peter Gabriel but have never listened to this

Jun 13 2024

I get that this is a great album. I can totally hear it, I’m just not a big R&B guy and I took away a star for having skits between songs

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jun 14 2024

Do people actually enjoy listening to music like this? It sounds like circus music for handicapped people

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jun 17 2024

This was a good listen. Had no idea she was British

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 18 2024

I’ve never been a big Neil Young fan, and this didn’t help. 1. Why does anyone like this 2. He sounds like a little old lady singing in church

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jun 19 2024

This was really good, but lost a star for unnecessary falsetto in a few songs (in my opinion).

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jun 20 2024

Love Bonnie Raitt. Hate 80s blues

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Jun 21 2024

I’m not familiar with the rest of their discography, but this album just sounds like a poorly produced Oasis copycat

All Directions by The Temptations
Jun 25 2024

This slapped really good. Definitely one of the better R&B albums on this list

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jun 26 2024

I thought this was good a few songs in but by the time I got to the last couple songs I realized they all sound the same. What has 7 arms and sucks?

Jun 27 2024

Poorly mixed and boring even if it’s arranged really well. Also, fuck flutes in this application

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 28 2024

I take back every bad thing I’ve said about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. This shit slaps

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 01 2024

Such a classic album

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jul 03 2024

Much like Sticky Fingers, this just sounds like a bunch of drunk Englishman playing shitty blues

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 08 2024

This is an easy listen. It’s a 45 minute long groove session

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 09 2024

I’m not typically into jazz, but this was enjoyable. Good reading music

The Clash by The Clash
Jul 10 2024

Previously I was only familiar with London Calling, but I loved this album. Solid hooks and great songwriting

Berlin by Lou Reed
Jul 11 2024

This is more listenable than most Lou Reed stuff that I’ve heard but I still don’t like it and don’t understand the appeal

Leftism by Leftfield
Jul 12 2024

This was ok but I feel like it’s the kind of music you hear at a CBD store

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jul 16 2024

This is one of the greatest metal albums of all time. My only complaints are: 1. The mixing in the remaster is awful. I know they (Lars) cut the bass out of the original mix but the remaster is all kick drum as a direct result. 2. Half of these songs don’t need to be 7 minutes long 3. Kirk Hammet’s largely unorchestrated guitar solos. It sounds like he’s just winging it through most of his solos

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jul 17 2024

This was good, but still not my gateway into jazz. Will try again with scotch and a cigar

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jul 18 2024

This seemed really mediocre. I love reggae but didn’t care for this

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jul 19 2024

British guys doing reggae stopped being cool after The Police dabbled with it. How did this make it on this list, this was awful. I regret ever hearing it or even knowing of it

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jul 23 2024

I’ve never actually listened to a Soundgarden album cover to cover. I loved the dynamics

Jul 24 2024

I know DK may not be for everyone and that’s ok. For me, this album is perfect from cover to cover. The perfect balance of surf guitar and punk

Jul 26 2024

I’m shocked at how much I liked this. It’s still country, I’ll probably never listen to this again, but I enjoyed it

Boston by Boston
Jul 30 2024

Such an epic album. I knew most of the songs but the album flows really well and adds more context

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jul 31 2024

I really hated this. Didn’t even make it through a full song. “Let’s make jazz, but instead of instruments, let’s synthesize them” 1 star

Phrenology by The Roots
Aug 01 2024

I’ve always loved The Roots and my old band actually got to open a show for them back in 2008. This is an incredible album that could easily be appreciated no matter what type of music you like

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Aug 06 2024

I’ve never been a fan but it’s not bad

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Aug 08 2024

A perfect album from cover to cover. I actually found this album years ago in the 1001 Albums book

Aug 09 2024

This is quintessential Queen. However, there are maybe four or five songs on this album that I find to be kind of annoying

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Aug 12 2024

This reminds me of a tolerable Bright eyes. Beautiful album

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Aug 13 2024

While this is not my style, you can’t deny that it’s an incredible album. There’s a reason that he was the king of pop

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Aug 14 2024

This album surprised me. It was pleasantly chaotic with a. Lot of different textures

Parachutes by Coldplay
Aug 15 2024

Such a classic. There are some filler songs but ultimately worth listening to cover to cover

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Aug 16 2024

She was a great singer, but I’m realizing that I don’t like her voice

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Aug 19 2024

The Doors are the most overrated band of the 20th century. Prove me wrong

Aug 20 2024

So far, I was only familiar with Low Rider, but this album was very complex and a fun listen

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Aug 21 2024

This wasn’t bad, but I feel like it would translate better live

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 22 2024

This was good, but his voice was wearing on me after a few songs. Would still be interested in listening to some of his other music

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Aug 23 2024

I made it 3 songs in. This sucks

Transformer by Lou Reed
Aug 26 2024

How is Lou Reed as popular as he is/was. This is awful

Parklife by Blur
Aug 27 2024

I really wanted to enjoy it but it ended up just being annoying

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Aug 28 2024

I liked this, but it just made me want to listen to The Smiths

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Aug 29 2024

I loved this. Perfect album from cover to cover

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Aug 30 2024

I knew the singles on this album, but I’ve never listened to the whole thing. It’s absolutely perfect.. finally, a British blues album on this list that doesn’t suck

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 02 2024

Automatic for the people is better but this is still good

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Sep 03 2024

Not my thing

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Sep 04 2024

Super boring, not this smokers delight

Young Americans by David Bowie
Sep 05 2024

This was a fun listen, but I’m deducting a star for the worst version of Across the Universe that I’ve ever heard.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Sep 06 2024

I don’t typically like music like this, but this was different and slapped so hard. DC!!

Dummy by Portishead
Sep 09 2024

I really liked the music but wasn’t into the vocals

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Sep 10 2024

I love some of Jimi’s music, but he is a good example that even an incredible musician can be a disappointing songwriter

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Sep 12 2024

I liked the music but the vocals were too whispery for me

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Sep 13 2024

This was ok but got annoying very quickly

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Sep 16 2024

I wasn’t expecting this but long form soul music slaps. The only thing I didn’t like was how long the closer was and it’s mostly him telling a story that the song is written about

Bad by Michael Jackson
Sep 17 2024
Headquarters by The Monkees
Sep 19 2024

I don’t understand why this is on the list. This is generic Beatles and it’s not even that good

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Sep 20 2024

I really enjoyed the music on this but her vocals got old pretty fast

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Sep 23 2024

This is good music to sit outside and sweat to

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 24 2024

I’ve always loved melancholy but this album was great!

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Sep 25 2024

I originally hit the “Did Not Listen” button on this because I’ve always hated the Grateful Dead. I decided to go back and give it a listen because that’s the whole reason why I’m making my way through this list. I’m shocked at how tolerable this was. I’ll probably never listen to it again, but it was nice

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Sep 26 2024

I didn’t finish it but this was way more enjoyable than I expected it to be

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Sep 27 2024

I’ve always loved this album, although it’s not one of my favorite Gorillaz albums

Sep 30 2024

There are 2 types of people in this world. People who enjoy listening to Queen, and liars

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Oct 01 2024

Love this album. Possibly has the best opener of all time and also has my favorite Zeppelin song, Since I’ve been Loving You”

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Oct 02 2024

I really enjoyed this! I had never heard of this Damon Albarn side project, but it’s like a mellow Gorillaz

Oct 04 2024

This was fine but not really my thing. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood when I played it

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Oct 07 2024

I liked this but by the time I got halfway through the album, it all seemed to blend together

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 09 2024

I liked the music a lot, but I felt the vocals were unnecessary. I also realized at the third song that they were all structured the same

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Oct 10 2024

This was borderline unlistenable

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Oct 14 2024

I’ve never heard of her, but I really enjoyed this. The music was great and she has a great voice.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Oct 15 2024

I typically like Bowie, but this was not my favorite.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Oct 16 2024

I love singers from the 50s, but her voice got annoying after a while. Beautiful music

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Oct 21 2024

I really liked parts of this album, but the out of key bass parts weren’t fun

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Oct 22 2024

This shit will always slap

Infected by The The
Oct 24 2024

There are worse things to listen to on this list

2112 by Rush
Oct 25 2024

I’m just not a big Rush guy. After many attempts, live and otherwise

Oct 28 2024

This was a good one. This band has grown on me a lot in the last decade

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Oct 29 2024

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this, but I really enjoyed it

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Oct 31 2024

This was vaguely like Primus but less listenable

Abbey Road by Beatles
Nov 01 2024

Not a big Beatles fan, but this album is perfect from cover to cover

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Nov 04 2024

Has some good songs, but I’ve never been impressed by the Stones

The Band by The Band
Nov 05 2024

One of my favorite bands from the 60s and 70s. Absolute classic with an unexpectedly awesome groove

Nov 06 2024

I’ve never been a big Pantera fan, I can’t stand Phil Anselmo. That being said, this album was awesome. Not five stars because they were/are racist pieces of shit

Melodrama by Lorde
Nov 07 2024

At first I thought the songs were all gonna sound the same but I ended up really liking the production on this

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Nov 08 2024

Man, I really hated this

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Nov 11 2024

I made it a few songs in and it’s what I expected. Music for old white men to pay their bills to

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Nov 12 2024

One of my all time favorites

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Nov 13 2024

I hated this. It would’ve been better without vocals

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Nov 14 2024

One of my all time favorite albums, and probably my favorite 80s album

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Nov 15 2024

I’m gonna just file this under, “not my thing”

The White Album by Beatles
Nov 18 2024

Not as good as Abbey Road but it’s still my favorite Beatles album

The Specials by The Specials
Nov 19 2024

I’m just not super into British white dudes playing reggae, it’s just not that good

Cut by The Slits
Nov 20 2024

This was trash

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Nov 21 2024

I recognize it as good, but just not my thing

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Nov 26 2024

I was hip to Steely Dan, listening to this made me realize I do not like Steely Dan

Future Days by Can
Nov 27 2024

This had a good feel to it, but I wasn’t in a mellow mood and didn’t finish it

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Nov 28 2024

How could a band with a name like T. Rex have music this soft?

Moondance by Van Morrison
Nov 29 2024

Perfect from cover to cover. Great selection for Thanksgiving

Dec 05 2024

I enjoyed a lot of it, but there were parts that were annoying

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Dec 06 2024

Man, I really hated this. It sounded like the music from an 80s movie, but a shitty 80s movie

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Dec 10 2024

I’ve never cared much for Cream and listening to this again did not help

Damaged by Black Flag
Dec 11 2024

I get why this is good, and I typically love classic hardcore. This was a surprisingly difficult listen

Revolver by Beatles
Dec 12 2024

Some songs on this album that I love, but not everything Yellow Submarine fucking blows

Elastica by Elastica
Dec 13 2024

Just not a fan of moany female led grunge bands

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 16 2024

Perfect album cover to cover

S&M by Metallica
Dec 20 2024

I expected this to be a lot better than it was. The idea was great, but they didn’t adjust any of their songs to tastefully fit the orchestra. It just sounded like an orchestra trying to play in the same room as Metallica. Also, Lars just blows. He sucks so bad

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Dec 23 2024

I wasn’t able to finish it but I liked where it was going

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Dec 24 2024

I prefer Animals, but this is still a perfect album

Make Yourself by Incubus
Dec 27 2024

I’ve always loved this album and Morning view

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Dec 30 2024

Didn’t listen to it, but have listened before. Not my favorite, but it’s still Led Zeppelin

Dec 31 2024

I liked this a lot more than Madman Across the Water. Only giving 4 stars because what the fuck is with Jamaican Jerk-off?

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Jan 01 2025

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. There are some filler songs but overall it was very listenable

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jan 02 2025

I found this to be mostly forgettable

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jan 03 2025

This was alright, but it seemed to have a good amount of filler

Doolittle by Pixies
Jan 06 2025

I’ve never liked the Pixies, but forcing myself ti listen to this changed that. Solid album

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jan 08 2025

Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitar players of all time, but this was really boring. The smooth jazz accents are just awful

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jan 09 2025

This was an easy listen, but not my favorite Bowie

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 14 2025

This was really good, kind of like later Beatles stuff but I really liked Flowers for Emily

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jan 16 2025

This was like Bob Dylan but good

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 20 2025

This album has my favorite version of Hallelujah, but all of the other songs had no business being as long as they were

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 21 2025

This is one of my top 20 favorite albums of all time. Totally deserves a spot on this list

The Score by Fugees
Jan 22 2025

Banger from cover to cover. One of my favorites

Jan 23 2025

This is a good example of something really good, that has 3 really solid songs.. but ultimately everything sounds very similar.. yet at the same time it’s still really good

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 28 2025

This is fun to listen to, but it’s a lot of the same thing

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jan 29 2025

Not sure why this is on here. Just sounds like they listened to too much Rolling Stones. Not memorable

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jan 30 2025

The first half of this is just these guys jamming on 2 chords. Not unlistenable but kind of uninteresting

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jan 31 2025

This is a work of art. Absolutely incredible experience

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Feb 03 2025

If you listen to one of their singles 12 times, you’ve heard Appetite for Destruction. Good but super repetitive

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Feb 04 2025

This was more listenable than other Neil Young songs I’ve heard.. BUT I JUST DON’T GET WHY HE IS SO REVERED

Goo by Sonic Youth
Feb 07 2025

I never got into Sonic Youth, but I loved this

Stankonia by OutKast
Feb 10 2025

I love OutKast but the skits are annoying

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Feb 11 2025

It’s exactly what I expected. I probably would’ve liked it more if I had some cocaine

LP1 by FKA twigs
Feb 12 2025

This was a good listen. Sort of an electronic R&B

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Feb 13 2025

I’m surprised that I liked this as much as I did. I’m rarely into acapella music, and don’t listen to any world music. This was somehow very calming

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Feb 14 2025

There wasn’t really anything memorable about this

Odelay by Beck
Feb 17 2025

This was a lot of fun to listen to. Great driving album

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Feb 18 2025

This is an awesome album. I liked it a lot more than expected

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Feb 19 2025

I love the title track, and the whole album is good. A bit on the sleepy side as a whole

xx by The xx
Feb 20 2025

I’m familiar with this album and while it’s not my favorite style, it’s a great listen

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Feb 21 2025

Perfect album from cover to cover

Different Class by Pulp
Feb 24 2025

This wasn’t unlistenable but it just sounded like someone that only ever listened to Bowie

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 25 2025

I like the song, Alright but the rest were kinda meh. Might be a good road trip album

Kimono My House by Sparks
Feb 26 2025

It’s fine, I know there’s a lot of history with this band but it didn’t stand out to me much

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Feb 27 2025

This was wildly uninteresting

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 03 2025

This album is classic, but why is the title track the opener?? It’s a total mood killer before the album even really gets going

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Mar 05 2025

I enjoyed this, the three of them are great songwriters and performers

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Mar 06 2025

I didn’t know what to expect, and this was perfect for the long drive in the rain I had

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Mar 07 2025

I’ve been waiting for my gateway atom Waits and it feels good to finally have found it

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Mar 10 2025

This is fine and she is incredibly talented, but I have a hard time getting through an album of this type of music.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 11 2025

This is an easy listen, nothing crazy though

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 12 2025

Some of my favorite Hendrix songs are on this album. That said, there are a lot of forgettable songs on here

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Mar 14 2025

I just don’t get the appeal

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 17 2025

I love the Beastie Boys, and some of my favorites are on this album. I still prefer Paul’s Boutique and Ill Communication though

Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 18 2025

I enjoyed this and thought it was tastefully psychedelic

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 21 2025

This is my first time experiencing Beefheart, so my opinion may change the more I listen to them. This sounds like music for people that don’t enjoy listening to music

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Mar 24 2025

This was pretty good, I liked the small reprise of jet at the end

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Mar 25 2025

I see why this is a good album, but I don’t understand why it’s on this list. It’s fun and easy to listen to, but there wasn’t anything that stood out for me

Debut by Björk
Mar 26 2025

I really enjoyed her vocals, but the music is a bit dated

Sister by Sonic Youth
Mar 27 2025

I liked this a lot, probably better than Goo

Mar 28 2025

I don’t understand why this list has so many forgettable David Bowie copycats.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 31 2025

I haven’t been super into Latin music, but this had a sick groove from cover to cover

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 01 2025

I love a few songs on this album but it was overall very repetitive

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Apr 02 2025

I was very impressed with how boring an album can be

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Apr 03 2025

This is a beautiful album with a unique sound

Faust IV by Faust
Apr 04 2025

How did this make the list?

Garbage by Garbage
Apr 07 2025

This was fine

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 08 2025

Perfect album cover to cover

The Stooges by The Stooges
Apr 09 2025

I’ve listened to this before and like a few songs on it but its not as enjoyable for me as their later stuff

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Apr 10 2025

This slapped, but I would give it a better rating if it didn’t have all of the skits

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Apr 11 2025

Definitely quantity over quality.. why does this exist on this list?

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Apr 14 2025

This was a really easy listen. I enjoyed it more than I expected to

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 15 2025

My first Willie Nelson album and I absolutely loved it

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Apr 18 2025

Not my thing, but what a banget

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Apr 21 2025

This is the 4th Lou Reed album that I’ve gotten on this list so far. I love this album list because it gives artists I’ve previously disliked a chance to prove their discography. That said, I still can’t stand Lou Reed. How is his music so glorified?? This absolutely sucks. If the only person to ever do heroin was Lou Reed, no one would have listened to this

With The Beatles by Beatles
Apr 22 2025

This is fine. To be expected for early beatles

I Against I by Bad Brains
Apr 23 2025

This is maybe my 3rd time trying to listen to Bad Brains and boy, do I not like it

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 24 2025

I love this album so very much. It’s perfect from cover to cover and it takes me on a ride every time

Third by Soft Machine
Apr 25 2025

Cool but not my thing

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Apr 28 2025

Probably my favorite Rasiohead album

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 29 2025

I really enjoyed this, but Sledgehammer is an annoying song

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
May 01 2025

I just do not like this kind of music. I don’t think it’s made for me

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 05 2025

One of the best metal albums of all time. All hail Iron Maiden

Harvest by Neil Young
May 06 2025

This is more enjoyable than the other Neil Young albums I’ve tried, but I still am not a fan and don’t get the hype

May 07 2025

I don’t understand how this is up there with Iron Maiden and Metallica. Sure it’s good, but in this particular era of mid 80’s metal, you also had Iron Maiden’s Powerslave (1984) and Metallica’s Ride the Lightening (1984). My opinion is that there are better albums in this genre from this time and I really don’t get the hype

May 08 2025

I will finish listening to this tomorrow, but I’ve enjoyed it so far

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
May 09 2025

I recognize that this is good, but I really am not a fan

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
May 12 2025

Unique but all of the songs sound the same. Not my bag

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
May 13 2025

I just really don’t like the talking heads. I liked this more than the other album that came up, but it’s just not my thing

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
May 14 2025

This was really interesting. A perfect balance of Dead Kennedys and The Clash

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
May 15 2025

This is fine but not my thing

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
May 20 2025

I liked this more than I expected. It’s definitely a great roadtrip album

Rocks by Aerosmith
May 21 2025

Definitely some whispers of hair metal in this one.. it was alright

Face to Face by The Kinks
May 23 2025

I really didn’t like it. It was like The Rolling Stones but somehow worse

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
May 26 2025

This was a fun listen for a Friday, but it got repetitive after a while

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
May 27 2025

What a total banger. Really enjoyed this

Solid Air by John Martyn
May 28 2025

This was really pretty. I really liked the guitar work

May 29 2025

This was well done but so elaborate that it was hard to focus on. Who greenlit that awful guitar track??

Pretenders by Pretenders
May 30 2025

After only ever hearing singles.. now I think I just don’t like the pretenders

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jun 02 2025

I didn’t care for it but I think I will like their later music

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jun 03 2025

Surprisingly enjoyed this. I thought it would be repetitive but I see why it’s one of the best albums of all time

Jun 04 2025

I’ve always liked the song, Kick Push but this album was disappointing. Especially since the last track is 11 minutes of him thanking random people

Jun 05 2025

I’ve listened to a lot of Koran over the years but this was the first time listening to this album from cover to cover and it was awesome. Not sure what that Cameltosis shit was though

Achtung Baby by U2
Jun 10 2025

I was shocked at how bland this was

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Jun 11 2025

I can see how they influenced a lot of early punk bands, but this isn’t for me

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

I prefer Pet sounds, but it was an experience to listen to this the day after Brian Wilson passed. RIP

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jun 16 2025

I’m sure there are parts that are good but I only made it through 6 songs

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jun 17 2025

I don’t get why this is enjoyable in any way. She sounds so hurt and scorned that she sounds like an emotional vampire

Be by Common
Jun 18 2025

I like the music and he’s got really good flow but there was nothing catchy about it. No hooks

Jun 19 2025

The vocals aren’t my favorite, but the music was really good

The Visitors by ABBA
Jun 20 2025

This was good, but it didn’t have the typical bangers that I would expect from ABBA

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jun 23 2025

It’s a classic and I respect that, but it’s not my style

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jun 24 2025

I liked the songs I listened to, and I can tell that he influenced a lot of newer artists but it’s still kinda meh

Sulk by The Associates
Jun 26 2025

Dated 80s electronic/new wave. Maybe I would like their newer music or at least a remastered version

Jun 27 2025

I love Otis Redding, I always have.. but I’m only giving this 4 stars because Aretha Franklin is the only person that should sing Respect

Imagine by John Lennon
Jun 30 2025

The only thing I dislike more than the title track is the rest of his solo discography. He was a piece of shit, too

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 01 2025

Rumors is a perfect album. This was not, but it’s was still really great. How is anyone supposed to follow up Rumors anyway??

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Jul 03 2025

This had kind of a cool sound to it, but I got tired of it about halfway through

Arrival by ABBA
Jul 07 2025

This album slaps, but why isn’t Dancing Queen the opener? It seems like the songs are out of order

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 08 2025

This is the perfect cross between The Clash and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Aja by Steely Dan
Jul 10 2025

Man I really just don’t like Steely Dan. 2 stars for the musicianship

Music by Madonna
Jul 11 2025

This album was terrible. I have no clue how it made this list. Washed up, poorly written trash. Hopefully there’s some 80’s Madonna on this list

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jul 14 2025

This was really pretty but solo piano gets kind of boring unless I’m watching a live performance

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jul 15 2025

One of the greatest rappers of all time. Musically, this album is kind of annoying

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jul 16 2025

Randy Newman is an American treasure that must be protected at all costs

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jul 17 2025

Really happy to have a good roots reggae album instead of the typical British trash on here

Play by Moby
Jul 21 2025

Bangers cover to cover

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 22 2025

I have always disliked Neil Young, and have already had 2 of his albums pop up here. Those were rated with 1’s and 2’s. I loved this album, the opener will definitely be revisited

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

God bless Ozzy Osbourne

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Aug 26 2025

I prefer the Red Headed Stranger but I enjoyed this

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Aug 27 2025

This is what I expected. It’s fine

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Aug 28 2025

Not my favorite Bee Gees album. Too slow

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Aug 29 2025

I don’t understand why this is on here with such heavy hitters from the rap/hip hop world

The Cars by The Cars
Sep 01 2025

This sounds like a barbecue with shitty food

The Bends by Radiohead
Sep 02 2025

This album has some really good songs but it’s not my favorite

Sep 03 2025

I don’t get why this is here. It’s like punk rock Rolling Stones with a lead so by net that sounds like he couldn’t give less of a shit

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Sep 04 2025

How is this on this list? Sleepy bored songwriter

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Sep 05 2025

If this list has taught me anything.. it’s that I really like Samba music

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Sep 08 2025

I enjoyed it, but I thought I would like it more than I did

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 09 2025

It was good but I prefer Nevermind

Arise by Sepultura
Sep 10 2025

I enjoyed this and it was a good gateway to Sepultura, but it was kind of repetitive

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Sep 11 2025

This was really cool. It was like The Clash but electronic

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Sep 12 2025

A lot of cowboy chords for a country album called Guitar Town

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 15 2025

Really enjoyed this, great road trip album

Sep 17 2025

This was AWESOME. It was like Kiss, but enjoyable

Sep 22 2025

I recognize this as being good, but definitely not my thing

Sep 23 2025

The Stooges are awesome. If you disagree, you are incorrect

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Sep 25 2025

About what I expected it to be

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Sep 26 2025

Not a fan. Sounded like Freddie Mercury meets Jello Biafra

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Sep 30 2025

I think I just don’t like the Talking Heads. I have an extra star because Psycho Killer is on this album

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Oct 01 2025

I enjoyed this. Now that I’ve heard it, I understand why the Chili Peppers brought Navarro on for a bit

The Next Day by David Bowie
Oct 02 2025

I liked it, but it was kind of bland for a Bowie album

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Oct 03 2025

I’ve tried to listen to them a couple times and I don’t really get it

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Oct 06 2025

This was really great, perfect for a sad Friday

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Oct 07 2025

I don’t get what’s special about it. It has a few good songs but nothing that jumped out at me

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Oct 08 2025

14 songs and 15 minutes long.. fuck yeah

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Oct 09 2025

Not sure why this is here..

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Oct 10 2025

My second favorite Beastie album. Perfect cover to cover

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Oct 13 2025

I feel like a lot of illegitimate children were conceived to this album

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Oct 15 2025

The intro didn’t age well, otherwise still slapped

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Oct 16 2025

This is what mayonnaise sounds like

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 17 2025

I liked this but I like Bridge Over Troubled Water better

My favorite Stooges album so far

Exactly what the fuck was that

Nov 11 2025

This is about what I expected

D by White Denim
Nov 13 2025

Not what I was expecting, but really good for a jam band

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Nov 14 2025

Genius of Love is one of my all time favorite bangers, and man this album did not disappoint

Nov 17 2025

Common is a great lyricist/poet but I find most of his music forgettable

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Nov 18 2025

I don’t think it’s my thing, but the loud as fuck guitars feeding back was awesome

Country Life by Roxy Music
Nov 19 2025

This is listenable but not for me

90 by 808 State
Nov 20 2025

This was fine but I don’t understand all of the 90s EDM on this list

Ctrl by SZA
Nov 21 2025

I really enjoyed this, definitely going to check her other music out

Nov 27 2025

This was good but not my favorite album by The Smiths

Dec 02 2025

Dec 03 2025

What an absolute piece of shit this was.. this sounded like the guitar guy at the party was really horny

Dec 08 2025

While I respect her and her music, I’m not a fan

Dec 12 2025

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Dec 15 2025

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 19 2025

I love Bob and I think everyone should at least like Bob

Dec 22 2025

This was awful. This sounds like some husband/wife duo that has 20 followers on social media, but 3,000 comments of bullying

Dec 23 2025

This is one of my favorites from my teens. Perfect opener thru to a perfect closer

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

They sound like the clash, but horny

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 25 2025

VAN HALEN, FUCK YEAH

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley

This isn’t unlistenable but it was annoying. Reminded me of a band that tries to jam live but it just doesn’t land

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Dec 29 2025

Typical folk pop from the 60s

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jan 05 2026

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jan 14 2026

Not really my thing

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies

Jan 16 2026

This is like the Violent Femmes but worse

Frank by Amy Winehouse

This was great but I like Back to Black better

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 23 2026

Jan 28 2026

I love his album Sea Change, but this isn’t my thing

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jan 29 2026

As much as I like ambient music, I don’t understand why it’s on this list

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Jan 30 2026

This was really nice. Sort of like good montage music from the 80’s

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Feb 02 2026

This was alright, reminded me of the cure but preppy

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Feb 04 2026

This is like a more accessible Flaming Lips. I really liked it

Feb 05 2026

Will I get crucified if I think this wasn’t that great? Wes Scanlin covered About a Girl and got roasted because of how bad he sounded… he actually sounded a lot like Kurt..

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Feb 06 2026

This is was Cocaine sounds like

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar

Feb 16 2026

Not unlistenable but I didn’t like the vocals

Moon Safari by Air
Feb 17 2026

Repetitive mellow pop from the 90s. Meh

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 19 2026

I would’ve enjoyed this but I’m not a fan of the vocals. What a weird way to sing the word, ”years”

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 20 2026

I liked the music, but his vocals are a lot

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Feb 23 2026

Damn, this was #500 for me and how disappointing that was.. it’s like he wrote, Maybe I’m Amazed and someone asked him if he happened to have 10 two minute long tracks of bullshit.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Feb 24 2026

I really wanted to like this, but it seemed kind of all over the place

The Predator by Ice Cube
Feb 26 2026

This was alright. Definitely has some bangers

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Mar 03 2026

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Mar 04 2026

Did they cycle through guitar players because said guitar players knew the music sucked? 2 stars, but only for Jeff Beck. RIP

Closer by Joy Division
Mar 05 2026

I like a few songs by Joy Division but it’s hard to get through an album. This one was no different

Mar 06 2026

This was like listening to a good party

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

Oops, all hits!

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Mar 10 2026

Horses by Patti Smith
Mar 11 2026

Just because someone is an incredible poet and a great mind, does not always mean they should make music..

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Mar 12 2026

Someone hurt this man.. what a great album

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Mar 13 2026

I don’t really understand the significance of this.. I was able to finish it, but half of it are trash covers

Mar 16 2026

Couldn’t find it on Spotify, but I listened to a song elsewhere and it wasn’t my thing

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 18 2026

Classic Bob, but I like most of these songs better live

Hotel California is way better

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 30 2026

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Mar 31 2026

Apr 01 2026

I have talked SO MUCH shit about the B-52’s over the years.. but I really enjoyed this

New Wave by The Auteurs
Apr 02 2026

This was fine?

This was better than most psychedelic pop

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit

I’m just not a fan of this type of music

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Apr 08 2026

I have a lot of respect for Kraftwerk but I didn’t enjoy this

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Apr 10 2026

Bawitdaba will always be a banger, and I’ve always liked Only God Knows Why.. that said, I wish this fucking idiot would disappear into his own asshole. The world would be better

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Apr 13 2026

I’m sure she’s a great songwriter, but I just don’t like music like this

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Apr 14 2026

This was pretty awesome. Kind of like Bowie meets Queen meets Skynyrd

Apr 16 2026

This was really good. I don’t like all of Joni Mitchell’s music, but I do enjoy exploring it

Apr 17 2026

This is such a great album. For sure in my top 30

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Apr 20 2026

Apr 22 2026

Was there only one drum sound in the 90s??

Slayed? by Slade
Apr 23 2026

This actually ripped

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 24 2026

Im surprised that I liked this more than his other albums on this list.. but he still sounds like raisins in potato salad

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 27 2026

This was good but it was kind of what I expected. Great harmonies though

Apr 28 2026

I really don’t care for this. Maybe it was the production, but it just seemed hokey

Nowhere by Ride
Apr 29 2026

I wasn’t impressed at the beginning but I really liked it. Sort of a Deftones meets Oasis type of thing

Ingenue by k.d. lang
May 01 2026

Im not saying its bad, I just don’t like it

More Specials by The Specials
May 04 2026

Years ago, I was telling someone that I loved ska. A friend interrupted me and said, ”You don’t like ska, you like ska punk.” Now I see what he was saying

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 06 2026

Elvis Costello is fine, but there is entirely too much Elvis Costello on this list

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
May 07 2026

I was excited about this one because of Ry Cooder but between the repetition and the awful early 90’s guitar tone, I couldn’t take it

Calenture by The Triffids
May 08 2026

Didn’t really care for it. Generic 80s pop

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
May 12 2026

It’s a banger but the 2 R&B songs in the middle felt out of place

Low by David Bowie
May 13 2026

I liked it, but it’s not the best Bowie album

Dog Man Star by Suede
May 14 2026

This was pretty cool actually

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
May 15 2026

Wasn’t expecting jazz. Not really my jazz though

This is why I love this list.. I’ve never liked Santana’s music but after hearing Black Magic Woman and Oye Como Va in the context of the album, this slaps

Opus Dei by Laibach
May 20 2026

Why..?

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 21 2026

I don’t get the Stones appeal… it’s just drunk British guys trying to play the blues. Gimme Shelter is a banger though

Illmatic by Nas
May 25 2026

Nas is a great rapper, but I didn’t like the lack of dynamics with the production

Ray Of Light by Madonna
May 27 2026

I turned it off halfway through. Everything sounded exactly the same.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
May 28 2026

Beautiful album but wtf are these lyrics?

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jun 01 2026

Really enjoyed this. It reminded me of Fatboy Slim

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Jun 02 2026

Van Morrison is awesome. I think his live performances are a good argument for cocaine use

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jun 03 2026

If you don’t like Meat Loaf, you’re wrong. Perfect album, cover to cover

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jun 04 2026

Im a fan of Kanye’s music, and he’s a musical genius. This album has never really done it for me though

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jun 05 2026

I love Van Morrison and this is a beautiful album but the songs are too long for what they are

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 09 2026

I’m very familiar with Ryan Adam’s cover of this album.. but man, I was not expecting to like Taylor’s version this much. This album SLAPS cover to cover

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Jun 11 2026

Not bad, I like the horn section. Kind of like if The Clash were a ska punk band

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 12 2026

I’ve tried to listen to them a few times and it’s just not my thing

Jun 15 2026

This album list changed how I felt about The Pixies, but I really didn’t like this as much as I’d hoped

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Jun 16 2026

I liked it, and I’ve always loved Block Rockin Beats. Album is ultimately not my thing though

The White Room by The KLF
Jun 17 2026

Why are there so many albums like this on this list? Massage parlor sounding shit

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jun 18 2026

I enjoyed parts of this, but this is my third (I think) Stevie Wonder album from this list. I think I just don’t like Stevie Wonder

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jun 22 2026

This was a nice leisure suit album

I’ve heard some Zappa that I like but this was not that

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jul 02 2026

I could only find a live recording of this and it was awful

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jul 03 2026

This was nice until I realized they were trying to sound like Bowie

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jul 07 2026

I couldn’t get past the vocal mix

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jul 08 2026

I did not enjoy this. It was like the Talking Heads but with meth

John Prine by John Prine
Jul 09 2026

I really really hoped that I would like this..

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jul 13 2026

Fuck Morrissey. I love the Smiths but his solo stuff just makes me want to hit him

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Jul 14 2026

Fuck yeah, Slayer SSSSLLLLLLAAAAAYYYYYYYYYERRRR

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Aug 05 2026

This was ok? Girls screaming over guitars?

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Aug 07 2026

This was really pretty. Very mellow

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Aug 10 2026

I probably would have liked this a lot more 20 years ago

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Aug 11 2026
