Ramones by Ramones
Apr 02 2024

Rough punk sound. Interesting to listen to, but punk isn't for me.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 04 2024

Listed to some of it. Not mu cup of tea. 5/10

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 05 2024

Still listening

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 08 2024

Excellent album

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Apr 11 2024

Still listening to it. Experimental. It's okay so far.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Apr 12 2024

Very 80s sounding. Synth pop, but not my style.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Apr 15 2024

It was okay. I am not sure why this was a #2 album in the US, but then again, rap isn't really my style.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Apr 17 2024

Not for me. I missed the whole punk era, and this one didn't grab my attention.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Apr 18 2024

Nah, not for me. Never really liked The Cure beyond that song from The Crow.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
May 21 2024

I remember this album when it came out. Bitter Sweet Symphony was a huge hit, but I thought it was repetative and dull. After listening to the album, it just doesn't do it for me.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
May 22 2024

Not for me. The voice, the limp songs.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
May 24 2024

It was okay. Was a similar listening experience to The Ramones. If you're into punk it'll be good. If you're not, well, not so much.

Purple Rain by Prince
May 30 2024

The movie is plain terrible and incredibly mysognystic. The music sucks a bit too. The song Purple Rain is weird 80s rubbish. When Doves Cry is pretty good.

Jun 03 2024

Not bad. Didn't realise it was a double solo album. I remember Hey Ya from the radio, but the rest was a bit of a slog to get through. Much prefer Andre 3000's album to Big Boi.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Jun 07 2024

It was okay, but nothing really stood out to me.

Debut by Björk
Jun 11 2024

Not my mug of milo. Some good sounds, but very eclectic and weird.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 13 2024

Nick Cave is always a slog to get through. If nothing else, he is at least intense and you can't accuse him (or the Bad Seeds) of writing flippant empty songs. Some good tracks here.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jun 14 2024

It's different, disjointed, and will appeal to people who like arthouse films that aren't commerically successful. Overall I can't say it's an enjoyable listen, even if some of the tracks were better than others. It's not really good as background music either.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jun 17 2024

Not a fan. It's samba-y and whatnot, but I'm not a fan

Jun 18 2024

It's not bad, but I can't do Bob Dylan's voice for an extended period. Not for me.

Hms Fable by Shack
Jun 19 2024

Entirely forgettable. Brit pop sucks in my opinion, even the stuff that is catchy. If this was "number 2 on both the NME and Uncut critics' poll of the albums of the year for 1999" - good lord. 1999 was a dull year in British music.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jun 21 2024

I haven't heard much of The Who (this might be the first album actually I've listened to), but it's very twee 60s Britpop. It's easy enough to listen to, but there's nothing much going on here for me. Maybe in the 60s they were influencing much of the music we take for granted today, but there's no songs here I'll revisit.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jun 24 2024

Lots of stripped down (I mean, there's realistically only so much you can do with a guitar and drums) tracks. Seven Nation Army is, of course, the stand out track, but I found many thers that I liked. Overall it's a good album.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Jun 26 2024

They had a couple of catchy tunes (over a few albums, anyway), but overall it's pretty bland. Less annoying than Britpop, but just the American version of it. Generally unoffensive, but also uninspired. Easy-ish listening, but little to find exciting. Although it's a neat way to get all sorts of random music I probably wouldn't otherwise listen to, this website kind of sucks, as it tries to force me to get a new album every day. Unfortunately, I don't alweays have time to do this, so I would rather than it let me update my new album when I'm ready.

New Forms by Roni Size
Jun 28 2024

Rubbish. Repetative and dull.
