Green by R.E.M.

Are they called REM because they made me fall asleep?

Arrival by ABBA
Mar 05 2024

Fun, peppy, emotional.

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 07 2024

Not bad. Lots of the songs sounded similar, but I loved the production. Every song on its own was good

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Mar 08 2024

Really enjoyed this. I've liked funk but never really dove into it before. Groovy, good pacing mixups, good flow from song to song.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 11 2024

Lots of influences and ideas. Cohesive despite the experimental approach. Very interesting but not sure how often I'll revisit

Rocks by Aerosmith
Mar 13 2024

Nice blues influences. Classic rock singers all sound the same

Tapestry by Carole King
Mar 18 2024

Good, but I wasn't super into it.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Mar 20 2024

Not my vibe

Risque by CHIC
Mar 28 2024

My feet can't stop dancing

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Apr 01 2024

Great musicianship, 10 minute drum solo If I was a jackal I would chew off my paw to escape from this live performance

S&M by Metallica
Apr 09 2024

Musicality was good, but I didn't like the symphonic stuff that much although I appreciate them trying to bring something new to their well known songs. The mixing wasn't great, but that's expected for a live album. I think I just don't like live albums.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Apr 10 2024

Anyone who thinks Coldplay is bad should not be trusted

1999 by Prince
Apr 15 2024
Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 16 2024

Not a big fan. Also it seemed racist?

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Apr 17 2024
New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Apr 18 2024

Heavier rolling stones. Interesting

Nowhere by Ride
Apr 19 2024

Gaze at them shoes

The Band by The Band
Apr 22 2024

Liked a lot of it

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Apr 24 2024

Is this what started the mid 2000s folks ensemble indie rock trend

Cross by Justice
Apr 26 2024

TIL all those great songs I could never assign to an artist were Justice Maybe the Metallica live album would have been better if they had collaborated with them, and maybe call the album "...and Justice for All"

Green by R.E.M.
Apr 29 2024

Are they called REM because they made me fall asleep?

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Apr 30 2024

It's gotta be

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
May 06 2024

Yeah I mean it's acdc Blasted this one for Jr

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
May 08 2024
It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
May 17 2024

Hell yeah another live album I tried but I just can't. Two songs in and I'm done

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
May 21 2024

Really enjoyed this. Funky, good melodies. Never really listened to Stevie Wonder before and that was a mistake I'm happy to rectify now.

Atomizer by Big Black
May 22 2024

Really love the instrumentation but it's a shame the producer is a pos

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
May 23 2024

Is this an interesting album that puts a lens on a certain time period and its musical styles? Yes. Did it accomplish what it set out to do? Yes (I think). Did I enjoy it? Sometimes. Did I need to listen to this album before I died? No.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 24 2024
The College Dropout by Kanye West
May 27 2024

Really like this album. I love early Kanye. The production, the beats, some good turns of phrase. The sampling and use of the human voice as its own unique instrument is always good. However, it's a shame he became the type of person he spoke out against within this album.

Country Life by Roxy Music
May 29 2024

Liked this more than I thought I would, but probably won't listen again

Maxinquaye by Tricky
May 30 2024

Liked parts, meh on others.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
May 31 2024
Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jun 04 2024

Why choose adversity when you can be white in the 70s?

The La's by The La's
Jun 06 2024

The vocalist sounds like someone singing bad on purpose.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 10 2024
Elephant by The White Stripes
Jun 11 2024

I remember being 10 and liking this album

Cut by The Slits
Jun 12 2024
Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jun 14 2024

There are some parts that were interesting and started to pull me back in, and then it would just be awful bars set to the worst beat available in 1989

Marquee Moon by Television
Jun 17 2024

Totally fine. In fact, it gives me hope that my musical techniques could give me fame and notoriety some day.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jun 18 2024

Really really enjoyed this. Gonna have to keep listening.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jun 19 2024

Very fun. Madi described this as Brazilian Abba

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jun 20 2024

Liked parts of it, meh on a lot. Being stuck in a clean room listening to Pigs and I Could Kill A Man on repeat for 45 minutes probably didn't help

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Jun 27 2024

Boy oh boy did I not enjoy 80% of this. Why are the songs so long? Why is this a double album?

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jul 05 2024

If the song "Ice Cream Man" didn't exist this album may have lost a star

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jul 09 2024

Very fun Big fan of any artist that makes sure you know they are

Jul 10 2024

Nice melancholy. Decent to have on in the background while working.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jul 11 2024

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jul 12 2024

This album walked so that other artists could run away from the choices made here and create good music

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 17 2024

Blech

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jul 22 2024

Love it

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jul 25 2024

Slightly distorted electric guitar

xx by The xx
Jul 31 2024

I remember being obsessed with this album in 2013. It's still good, but not great.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Aug 02 2024

It's really quite surprising how despite nearly all of my favorite bands growing up being Radiohead clones, I never really listened to Radiohead until my mid to late 20s

Garbage by Garbage
Aug 06 2024

Had no idea what to expect from the name but I'm here for it

Guero by Beck
Aug 09 2024
Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Aug 13 2024

Block 15 Sticky Fingers is the best beer

Brothers by The Black Keys
Sep 09 2024

I enjoy this album a fair bit, and a number of years ago I would have given this a 4 or 5. El Camino is better imo Best thing it did for me was get me into Muddy Waters years ago.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Sep 12 2024

At first I didn't think a 5+ minute drum solo would be for me but if it's not for me, then who is it for?
