Feb 22 2024

What's not to love about this album. Half of this album contains some of the best well known rock songs in the 70s. And of course no one has lived life until they hear Free Bird. There is a bit of a lull at the latter half of the album but as a whole, truly a tremendous piece of classic rock.

S&M by Metallica
Mar 07 2024

Sorry I love Metallica, and I love orchestral music, but i just couldn't sit through this. Not even sure why this was included in this list when there are other much more generational heavy metal albums out there to listen to.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Mar 14 2024
Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Mar 15 2024
69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Apr 11 2024

Yeah sorry. I ain't listening to 3 hours of this.

OK by Talvin Singh
Apr 12 2024

This wasn't even worth putting in on the background while I did my chores

Tago Mago by Can
Apr 17 2024

3.5 the longer songs were surprisingly more enjoyable to listen to then the shorter ones

Electric by The Cult
Apr 18 2024

it's generic, it's pub rock, it's fish and chips, but the fish is juicy and the chips is crispy. it's OK

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Apr 24 2024

Fast and furious in 15 minutes.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Apr 28 2024

I think I'll start to appreciate Dylan more as I'm getting older.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
May 03 2024

Lovely voice, standard swing music. Felt criminal to give this less than a 3 but not usually my cup of tea

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
May 04 2024

this tickles everything I like about jazz. Getz the smoothest operator there is.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
May 08 2024

Not my cup of tea at all unfortunately. Tried to make it to the 3rd song but alas. Singer Songwriter is not looking good for moi

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
May 10 2024

some great guitar playing, some janky singing, i do like the homemade quality to this but felt it lacked something that made it special

Drunk by Thundercat
May 12 2024
The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 14 2024

It took about 68 albums but finally an album that I know is an instant 5. One of my core childhood metal albums.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
May 17 2024

MERICCAAAAAA (not American). I could listen to this album all day every day. One of my all time favourites, love the heart, soul, and instant bangers left right and centre.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
May 19 2024

did we really need another steely dan album on here

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
May 20 2024

I dunno, for some reason this just sounds dated to me, as theoretically this is something I thought I would enjoy. Hate the vocals as well. only saving grace is some of the riffs in here

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
May 22 2024

as a pianist, i enjoyed and appreciated it, as a casual music listener, it's good background music, but not one i'd actively listen to

The Bends by Radiohead
May 23 2024

I always was a fan of the earlier Radiohead albums, this stepped away from their grunge style at the time but still felt raw enough to feel rocky, while showing hints of the experimentation that was to define their later years. Sick band.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
May 24 2024

incredibly well produced at the time. actually really liked this one

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
May 27 2024

eh, it's servicable. not something i would go out of my way to listen to though. it's nice and progressive and sambaish. 2.5

Ingenue by k.d. lang
May 30 2024

boring

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jun 03 2024

good ideas but not my cup of tea.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 04 2024
Being There by Wilco
Jun 05 2024

I mean it was ok, then it just kept going!? way too long for this kind of music soz

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jun 06 2024

i simply can't believe there are already 3 steely dan albums on this list

Atomizer by Big Black
Jun 12 2024

this was weird. i like weird.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jun 27 2024

who the fuck put this rubbish on the list it's like all the worst aspects of shit Britpop lumped into 1 couldn't even sit through their most famous hit

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 02 2024
Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 06 2024
Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jul 09 2024
Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jul 11 2024

is this lyrically abhorrent? yeah. but are the beats funky as hell? also yeah

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jul 15 2024

this was kind of weird but also not? i enjoyed this a bit more than i thought i would/should. the songs give more movie soundtrack aura but it kinda worked

Blur by Blur
Jul 18 2024
The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 21 2024

couldn't imagine how much my head would have exploded if i heard this in 1978
