Dookie by Green Day
Feb 29 2024

a nostalgic listen. Not the type of music i really listen to anymore, but a nice trip down memory lane for maybe a once a decade ride

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 01 2024

Has a Bosa Nova-esq feel a-la Astrid Gilberto, but with hints of Roberta Flack and a lil Joni Mitchell high notes at times. Loved it, saved it, will listen again.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Mar 04 2024

Bowie's posthumous album. His final gift to the world. Given the setting and the lyrical composition the album gets extra points. Its not a regular listen, but it is impactful and gets played at least on his death-aversary if not a few other times each year. Missing Bowie every day.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Mar 05 2024

leans into hair metal/the ballad rock of the 80s, but still holding on to that classic 70s rock and roll feel. Definitely high energy and some classic rock n roll jams

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Mar 06 2024

Excellent. That late 60s early 70s psych-pop. Definitely can tell he hung with the Beatles. Is a regular listen

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Mar 07 2024

excellent album, does Radiohead have a bad album? this one in particular is reminiscent of high school. That classic downtempo psych rock sound Radiohead has been come to be known for. Always worth a listen

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Mar 08 2024

folky, weird, kinda Bob Dylan esq without the lyrical prowess. Didnt love it, but happy to of heard it

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Mar 11 2024

a classic jazz album. Miles Davis is the king, never disappoints, fits so many moods/settings.

Mar 12 2024

A pivotal album in Rap and my own personal initial exposure to Rap music. That classic East Coast style that led to me some favorite artists. While it doesnt have the replay value it once had, its still a classic.

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 13 2024

high energy, fun, reminds me of high school. A great blend of that post punk ska-esq without the horns upbeat feeling.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Mar 14 2024

excellent 60 pop a-la jim croce but less southern influence. Will definitely listen again

Mar 15 2024

excellent, really a beginning of something new in music that has blossomed into a big and beautiful scene. Would listen again

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 18 2024

Some songs that are classics in their genre. Not an album that ill personally return to often but I appreciate what it did for music

Mar 19 2024

hard pass on U2, Bono's voice makes my skin crawl

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Mar 20 2024

enjoyed it, have never heard of artist or album previously. Felt like would hit better on certain days depending on mood etc.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Mar 21 2024

loved it, soulful jazzy r&b. checked a lot of boxes

Young Americans by David Bowie
Mar 22 2024

Bowie could do no wrong imo. While not my top Bowie album (Ziggy). Still an excellent album

The Band by The Band
Mar 25 2024

The Band is underrated in modern music. Levon and Robbie were both genius's. I love this album. I love The Band. A never skip for me

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 26 2024

just not a T swift fan. Respect that she has built the following she has, just not for me.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 28 2024

wonderful album, something special in the early 90s while being in the grunge vein but somehow still outside it

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Mar 29 2024

excellent 80s metal

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Apr 01 2024

quality album, special for what it is and its time, limited replay value in my current life

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Apr 02 2024

eh, beats were good, raps were fine

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Apr 03 2024

the mans a legend. This album is great but not my personal fav from him. That post war blues though is something special

Apr 04 2024

love that 70s Prog. Truly something special and often overlooked

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Apr 05 2024

really enjoyed it, had never heard of him but was relaxing and a pleasant listen

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Apr 08 2024

an incredible album. Really nothing else needs said. A never skip

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Apr 09 2024

classic 90s album. He's got an all time voice

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 10 2024

feels like high school

Green by R.E.M.
Apr 15 2024

fine, not something id listen to regularly

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 16 2024

amazing, Neil never disappoints and this is definitely some upper induced Neil Young

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Apr 19 2024

interesting, very early in the electronic movement at 92. Would listen again

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Apr 22 2024

loved it, was a great change of pace and a dip back into "Brasillia"

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Apr 23 2024

can truly never go wrong with Sir Elton John. This album has got some bangers on it, hoping that "Honkeytonk Chateau" is on this list somewhere - my personal fav Elton album

Apr 24 2024

id heard the name but never the music. enjoyed it, not for everyday but worth another listen

Elastica by Elastica
Apr 25 2024

enjoyed it, felt like something i should have found in highschool and built memories with. Since i didnt it doesnt have that same level of nostalgia similar music does so doesnt hit quite the same way.

Picture Book by Simply Red
May 01 2024

gotta be in the right mood for that level of 80s. but "holding back the years" is a bop

Machine Head by Deep Purple
May 02 2024

LOVE Deep Purple. Cant say this is my favorite album of theirs but its certainly an excellent 70s rock album

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
May 06 2024

its The Boss. Not what im looking for on a reg basis. But it definitely has its place.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
May 07 2024

a classic, still throw on the live I love you New York from time to time

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
May 08 2024

Steely Dan is just all time. Never skip. Incredible.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
May 10 2024

enjoyed it, that calming late 60 Pop.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
May 14 2024

Not my favorite prince album. But it’s still prince

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
May 16 2024

love it, that early Flaming Lips is classic.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
May 17 2024

really enjoyed it, powerful voice, good musically.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
May 20 2024

so many great songs, Love the Gorillaz. Damon is a genius

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
May 21 2024

love the talking heads.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
May 22 2024

enjoyed it having never heard of it. Beats and melodies. Definitely a precursor to things that came later that i love

Nevermind by Nirvana
May 23 2024

Hard not to love, as popular or "popular" as they are. At the end of the day the music is still great

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
May 24 2024

space jazz? improvisational psychedelia? weird but good? Like early Pink Floyd

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
May 29 2024

honestly not bad, better than expected. Do i want to listen to it everyday? nah. Would i bash my brains out if it was stuck in my CD player? definitely. But there's only a select handful of albums that wouldnt elicit that response. Id give it 3.5 stars if i could but dont quite feel like it deserves 4 so 3 it is

En-Tact by The Shamen
May 30 2024

Enjoyed it WAY more than expected. Some late 80s electronic. Its like New Wave meets Nine Inch Nails meets something i dont even know how to identify. Maybe because i went in with such low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. Would listen again, not daily, but again

No Other by Gene Clark
May 31 2024

not a bad 70s albums, some replayable songs, prob a 3.5 but gets a 3

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Jun 03 2024

Not a bad album for a dude that married his 13 year old cousin, some classics, but a little too eh in the country/blues to have regular listen. needs to be about 10 years earlier or 10 years later. Sorry Jerry

Melodrama by Lorde
Jun 04 2024

eh, not for me

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 05 2024

really enjoyed it, didnt recognize the name but once i started listening i recognized the voice. 10/10 would listen again

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Jun 06 2024

it has its place, but this brand of 90s rap isnt for the regular play

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jun 11 2024

A female Bob Dylan lyrically. Love what she did for music and what she was doing at the time, but not my cup of tea for a regular listen

My Generation by The Who
Jun 12 2024

Love the Who, this album did so much for music, Keith Moon just bangin away leading the band thru the who album

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 14 2024

top tier reggae, one of the few actually worth listening to. Excellent musically, lyrically relevant and i mean its Bob Marley, how many people can name another Reggae artist?

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jun 17 2024

kind of similar to how i feel about Bruce Springsteen.

Jun 18 2024

p dang good album that i had forgot about. Combo of molly and acid really did somethin for these guys. A special place in time haha

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 19 2024

i love this album. Captain Beef is severely underrated in my opinion.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 20 2024

classic Karen O. Love her, album has some great songs but many that i would skip on a regular listen

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jun 27 2024

Wish i could give it 10 stars. This album is incredible. Nico's voice over the psych rock benzo induced music is like a snip of a moment in time and ill never get enough of it.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Jun 28 2024

i think on a different day it may hit better. I liked the weirdness of it but need to revisit on a day where im more open to it.

S&M by Metallica
Jul 01 2024

enjoyed it more than expected, love the addition of the symphony to bring new life to songs ive heard countless times

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 02 2024

fats was cool, and a kingpin in his time/genre. appreciate what he did for music

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jul 09 2024

maybe my favorite Talking Heads album? Always hard to say.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 15 2024

i mean its an incredible album. while it may not be my personal favorite album and i wish they would return to the in your face funk/punk. Still a top album from start to finish

Tapestry by Carole King
Jul 16 2024

some days i love it, some days i skip it. Shes got a beautiful voice but just not a never skip

The Libertines by The Libertines
Jul 17 2024

some days i love it, some days i skip it. Shes got a beautiful voice but just not a never skip

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jul 18 2024

feel like i say "a classic" a lot, but this certainly also falls into that category. Perfect for a rainy day or just a relaxing drive.

White Ladder by David Gray
Jul 19 2024

didnt love it, beat/lyrics were pretty repetitive but had a good voice

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 22 2024

Just not the biggest fan of "the boss"

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 23 2024

10/10. Marvin Gaye was incredible.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Jul 24 2024

Enjoyed the punk rock feel with the occasional blues riff thrown in. Not an everyday listen but enjoyed more than expected

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jul 25 2024

a beautiful snapshot of 1960s West coast psychedelia. Their best album by far and an iconic 60s rock album
