The Stranger by Billy Joel
Apr 18 2024

Great album with many varied song styles. Italian restaurant is a classic and the title track is a hidden gem. The album tails off a bit with the last couple of songs but overall, one of Joel’s best works.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Apr 19 2024

Solid album with nice grooves and a vintage sound. Some songs are a bit repetitive, but overall a good listen.

Green by R.E.M.
Apr 20 2024

Mostly upbeat with political undertones. Stand and Orange Crush are standout tracks. Interesting use of the mandolin on a few songs.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Apr 21 2024

Not my style of music but can appreciate the vocals. Lots of the songs sound similar but Inner City Blues is a highlight to close it out.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 22 2024
Apr 26 2024

Atmospheric sounds with great solos from Gilmour. Great Gig in the sky is amazing and there are a few other classics. Flows very well overall.

Dummy by Portishead
Apr 27 2024

Not really my style of music and songs drag a bit. A couple are interesting though.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 28 2024
Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Apr 29 2024

Very orchestral and boroque style.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
May 01 2024

Pinnacle of west coast hip hop with amazing beats and great features.

Pump by Aerosmith
May 02 2024

Very cool glam rock sound with lots of diversity. Tyler’s vocals are killer.

The Coral by The Coral
May 03 2024

Interesting mix of psychedelic and folk. Love the harmonies as well.

In Utero by Nirvana
May 04 2024

Some classic grunge songs on here but not into the ones that are pure noise.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 11 2024

One of the great pop albums of all time. Almost every song is fantastic and lives up to the name.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
May 12 2024

Not their best effort on this album as the songs don’t really mesh well together.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
May 14 2024

Great voice and bluesy feel. Great opener in Chain of Fools.

The White Album by Beatles
Jun 30 2024

Some great songs on here but too many filler tracks. In terms of their discography this lands in the middle.

Garbage by Garbage
Jul 06 2024

Very interesting sound and catchy songs. Alt rock combined with other genres.
