Popular Reviews

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators

this feels like it goes on for an eternity, and the album is only 34 minutes

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt

this shit put me to sleep (derogatory)

Triangle by The Beau Brummels

Another 60s rock album that doesn’t bring a whole lot to the table

Woodface by Crowded House

enjoyed this a lot. really solid album with no real low points

they are not my new favorite band, but they aren’t my new least favorite band so they’ve at least got that going for them

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 21 2024

Very good soul/funk album. First Sly album I’ve listened to the whole way through

The Bends by Radiohead
Apr 22 2024

Probably one of my favorite Radiohead albums. Favorite songs: Planet Telex, High and Dry, (Nice Dream), Just, Bullet Proof… I Wish I Was, Black Star, Sulk

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Apr 23 2024

Probably one of the best soul albums i’ve ever heard. not a single bad track

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Apr 24 2024

the production on this is chaotic, overwhelming, and unrelenting. this is a memorable listen, every track has a distinct feel. love the sample heavy feel you can really feel the groups anger and indignation through each and every song. fight the power is such an incredible closer, really sums the album up well.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Apr 25 2024

not sure what genre this would even fall under, there’s such a great blend of everything. a very solid album, but not a lot stood out to me individually.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Apr 26 2024

A very well produced album, wish I understood Portuguese. Giving this 2. While I did enjoy the project and liked a few songs, I don’t see myself coming back to this often, if at all.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Apr 27 2024

new york telephone conversation may just be the worst song i’ve ever heard. decent album. not a huge fan of reed’s flat vocal delivery on some of these tracks. definitely some gems on here tho

Apr 28 2024

Easily the best solo Wu-Tang project. Rae and Ghost are such a great duo, love hearing them over this type of production. Only weak song on this is Spot Rusherz imo.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Apr 29 2024

southern rock just isn’t my cup of tea. this album runs for far too long imo. interesting concept tho

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Apr 30 2024

first time listening to a cure album. v good stuff. consistently good songs, and the project doesn’t overstay its welcome.

En-Tact by The Shamen
May 01 2024

just not my cup of tea

Sound Affects by The Jam
May 02 2024

cool album. punk meets british rock meets new wave meets the 80s. some good tracks, but a couple songs i just didn’t care for

Kid A by Radiohead
May 05 2024
Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
May 06 2024

cool album. never been a huge fan of early rock and roll, but i can see why buddy holly was such a big deal.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 08 2024
Movies by Holger Czukay
May 09 2024
Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
May 10 2024

i just don’t think new wave is for me

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 11 2024
Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
May 13 2024

this album is far too long and overproduced. some gems for sure, but i wish she would’ve picked going full social commentary or full pop. the back and forth is unfulfilling.

The Doors by The Doors
May 14 2024

i can see why this album is so highly acclaimed. love the organ sections that are all over this.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
May 15 2024

decent listen. very medieval (?) feel to it

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
May 17 2024

i just can’t get over the toy story connection 😭 it’s a decent listen, but this type of country is not my cup of tea

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
May 18 2024

all the tracks are beautifully composed. great body of work

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
May 19 2024

an undisputed classic in my eyes. brilliantly executed concept album about kendrick’s life up until that point in time, i’ll never get tired of this album.

May 21 2024

as someone who absolutely loathes hearing coldplay on the radio, i was pleasantly surprised by how much i enjoyed this album

May 22 2024

not horrendous, but a bit too samey for my liking. that last track was awful

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
May 23 2024

i don’t care for dylan’s voice on this. a few good songs, but i don’t see myself returning to this project anytime soon

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
May 24 2024

not a huge fan of the vocals. it’s bearable for a track or two, but wears out its welcome when you hear it on an entire album. good instrumentation tho

Homework by Daft Punk
May 25 2024

Not bad for a debut, but I just haven’t enjoyed any of the electronic albums I’ve heard so far.

Cut by The Slits
May 27 2024

read abt this albums influence, not a big enough fan of the genre to know if that holds true or not. it’s cool, but not my personal cup of tea. few good songs tho

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
May 28 2024

never heard a song of hers before stranger things (and i don’t even watch stranger things). very cool post-prog project

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
May 31 2024

inoffensive. a bit stale for my liking, but nothing i wouldn’t listen to if it came on my shuffle.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 01 2024

fantastic debut, one of my favorite bands

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jun 04 2024

surprised at how much i enjoyed this. over the top/operatic at times, but i can see why this made the list

D by White Denim
Jun 05 2024

really enjoyed this, never heard of this group before. will have to dive into their catalogue more.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jun 07 2024

didn’t realize how many of these songs i’ve heard in passing. good album overall.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jun 08 2024

v good album

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jun 09 2024

super repetitive and samey jailbait damn near ruins the album

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jun 10 2024

Decent listen, but it’s not Sinatra’s best album imo

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Jun 11 2024

not my favorite megadeath album, but a solid listen. consistently good, no real dips in quality

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jun 12 2024

i cannot stop thinking about chef from south park singing this. all seriousness though, this is a phenomenal album. i was a bit wary at first, 4 songs, 40+ minutes is not an easy sell. having “walk on by” as the opener was such a great decision. i think i still prefer dionne warwicks over this, but i’ll be damned if this isn’t a phenomenal cover. feels like a totally different song. my only “gripe” with this is the long monologue on “by the time i get to phoenix” i understand its place in the song, but it does hamper the replay value for me personally.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jun 13 2024

an interesting concept that’s well executed at times, but misses the mark overall. not a bad listen, but a bit too lengthy for my liking.

Guero by Beck
Jun 16 2024

never heard a beck album before this, only knew that he was highly acclaimed. didn’t expect so much rap to be present, nor for it to be as good as it was (relatively speaking)

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jun 17 2024

war pigs has to be one of the greatest intros of all time. my favorite sabbath album.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 18 2024

one of my favorite double albums. couple tracks i don’t revisit, but an overall great body of work. shame we didn’t get more jimi.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jun 20 2024

Phenomenal album, one of Jay’s best albums and a well deserved spot on this list.

The Band by The Band
Jun 21 2024

the band by the band. generic sounding name, fits the album as well. not terrible, not great. probably won’t revisit.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jun 22 2024

2nd straight day of listening to a self titled album. this was much more enjoyable. tight 35 minutes, no bad songs. great debut

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jun 23 2024

all i can say is the album title is extremely fitting

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Jun 24 2024

enjoyed this a lot more than “sound affects”. would definitely pick this up on vinyl

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jun 25 2024

sparse instruments and vocals, has a very intimate feel. really enjoyed this

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Jun 26 2024

incredible album. can’t believe i’ve never listened to joni mitchell before today

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jun 27 2024

The first half of this was fantastic. The 2nd half stumbles a bit imo, but still a great album.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jun 28 2024

baffled at how little i enjoyed this. really like screamadelica. this was far more abrasive than any of their other stuff i’ve heard, and not for the better.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jun 29 2024

decent romp, not my cup of tea but in the right mood i could revisit.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jun 30 2024

Decent romp, never been a huge fan of live albums but Cash sounds great on this.

1999 by Prince
Jul 01 2024

i understand why prince is considered a legend, but his music has just never truly clicked for me. decent album, but far from my favorite of his

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jul 02 2024

not my cup of tea

Woodface by Crowded House
Jul 04 2024

enjoyed this a lot. really solid album with no real low points

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Jul 05 2024

way too long, didn’t care enough to hear the french versions of the songs

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Jul 07 2024

it’s like rage against the machine but infinitely worse

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Jul 08 2024

very good album, definitely gonna pick it up on vinyl

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jul 09 2024

a good album, but not steely dan’s best

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jul 10 2024

not a fan of ambient music in general, this was no exception

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jul 11 2024

a genuinely charming album. dolly oozes sincerity throughout

Doolittle by Pixies
Jul 13 2024

never been a huge pixies fan. decent album though

Jul 15 2024

355 records in my collection and i still haven’t bought the one that damn near everyone owns.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 16 2024

can’t believe i’ve never heard this. phenomenal body of work

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Jul 17 2024

few songs i really enjoyed, but i overall didn’t care for the vocals on this

Cross by Justice
Jul 18 2024

first electronic album i actually somewhat enjoyed

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jul 19 2024

really enjoyed a couple of songs on this. but there was a good chunk i was just “okay” on. overall enjoyed the experimental/alt sound

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 20 2024

first half was better than the second. not their best work, but a really good one. this is where their discography starts to jump around in terms of quality.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jul 21 2024

some of my favorite beastie boys songs are on this album, and i can see why it’s a regarded as a seminal piece of rap history. that said it does show its age at times, and not always in an endearing manner.

The Specials by The Specials
Jul 22 2024

this did not change my opinion on ska

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jul 23 2024

Never been a huge fan of the police outside of their hits, who knew they had so many quirky songs? Still a fun listen overall

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Jul 25 2024

there’s just something specific about this flavor of 60s pop that i find endlessly endearing. great album with little fluff

Who's Next by The Who
Jul 26 2024

probably my favorite album from the who. the song is over is easily one of my favorites from their discography

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 27 2024

this has the makings of a 4 but i feel a 3 is most appropriate. some good songs on here, but just as much filler imo

Queen II by Queen
Jul 28 2024

very very good album. still enjoyed a night at the opera slightly more than this one

So by Peter Gabriel
Jul 30 2024

probably my favorite peter gabriel album tbh

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Aug 01 2024

the concept behind this album is a little strange ngl. the instrumentation is fantastic, but i don’t care for the frenchman whispering in my ear

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Aug 02 2024

didn’t finish this. started out okay but good god it went downhill fast

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Aug 03 2024

starts out really strong, but fades in the back half. still a good project and worth the listen

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Aug 04 2024

much like the donovan album, i don’t care for the “renaissance faire” sound that this has. a wholly inoffensive yet unremarkable album, middle of the road for me.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Aug 05 2024

a really really strong debut, heaven and las vegas clears for me personally but this is a strong offering

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Aug 06 2024

a perfectly fine album, but nothing i’d revisit in full

Medúlla by Björk
Aug 08 2024

loved all the different harmonies/sounds she used.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Aug 09 2024

enjoyed this a lot more than i was expecting, really cool acapella album

The White Album by Beatles
Aug 10 2024

This takes me back to the Beatles phase I went through in high school. The one fun fact I feel obligated to share is that “Why Don’t We Do It In the Road?” was written by Paul during the band’s trip to India. He wrote the song after seeing two monkeys having sex in the middle of the street This album was made when tensions in the group were at an all time high, and it shows in how scattered the songs feel. Some of their best work is on this album, as well as their worst. But somehow, they manage to make it work.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Aug 11 2024

i enjoyed this more than the other new wave albums i’ve listened to, so i guess that’s something. nothing really stood out to me though

Leftism by Leftfield
Aug 12 2024

if there’s one thing this journey has taught me, it’s that i really don’t like electronic music

Aug 13 2024

really enjoyed this. need to get it on vinyl since streaming services don’t have it for whatever reason

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Aug 16 2024

nothing special, but a relaxing listen

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Aug 18 2024

am i crazy or are some of these songs at the beginning anti-immigrant ?? overall, pretty decent. never been a huge fan of morrissey’s bland vocals, but the music itself is very good

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Aug 19 2024

never been the biggest fan of blondie, but this is a decent album. some of their best songs on here, but overall it felt middle of the road

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 20 2024

2 stars for maps and the cover art being kinda cool

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Aug 21 2024

even for the standard of 1965 the mixing is terrible

evermore by Taylor Swift
Aug 22 2024

i can see why these weren’t put on folklore lmao damn near a 1 star bc i can’t stand that willow song after working in retail

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Aug 23 2024

never been a big stones guy, this album did little to change that

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Aug 24 2024

enjoyed this one a bit more than the others i’ve heard so far, still not my favorite

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Aug 25 2024

started pretty strong but overall i found it a bit grating

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Aug 26 2024

not my cup of tea

Aug 27 2024

definitely a dated album in terms of production and lyrical content, but it’s impact on the genre cannot be understated.

Hms Fable by Shack
Aug 28 2024

a pretty decent album. nothing mind blowing though, not sure how this made the list

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Aug 29 2024

found myself enjoying this album much more than license to ill. the eclectic production really pulled me in, didn’t expect so many instrumental songs but i can’t say i was mad about it. damn good album

Aug 30 2024

sample heavy, to an overwhelming degree at times. the bomb squad really loves that tea kettle sound effect. but everything just works, a phenomenal album.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Aug 31 2024

confession time: i think mr brightside is just ok

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 01 2024

a very solid early 00s pop rock album. doesn’t overstay its welcome and is pretty consistent throughout

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Sep 04 2024

very boring

Sep 05 2024

i really enjoyed quite a few songs on this, but a 3 feels appropriate as i don’t see myself returning to this album in full anytime soon

Tommy by The Who
Sep 06 2024

a sprawling rock opera that tells a cool story. was a little hard to follow at times though, but a very good album overall

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 07 2024

really enjoyed this

Live! by Fela Kuti
Sep 08 2024

cool album. liked the jazzy feel, definitely have to be in the right mood to listen to this

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Sep 09 2024

solid reggae album

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Sep 10 2024

really good bowie album, some of my favorites are on this project

Close To You by Carpenters
Sep 11 2024

im a sucker for sappy 70s music what can i say

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Sep 12 2024

such a great debut, a modern classic

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Sep 13 2024

forgot how much i enjoyed this album. the title track obviously steals the show, but the A side has a few catchy tunes on it as well

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 14 2024

not my favorite marley album, but a solid listen

Sep 15 2024

they are not my new favorite band, but they aren’t my new least favorite band so they’ve at least got that going for them

Illmatic by Nas
Sep 16 2024

a quintessential rap album. one of the best debut albums ive ever heard, solid from front to back with no fluff

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Sep 17 2024

one of the greatest jazz singers to ever do it. loved the sparse production on this. just nina simone and her piano. no filler, an incredibly solid body of work

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Sep 21 2024

nice woodsy folksy type album. some of the songs run a little long, but it’s a solid body of work

Drunk by Thundercat
Sep 22 2024

a great album, the jazz/funk influence is apparent throughout. doesn’t take itself too seriously either. one of my personal favorites

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Sep 23 2024

nice blend of pop and country, one of the few modern country albums/artists i enjoy listening to

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Sep 24 2024

nothing special. very coworker core, but there’s a few good songs on here

Parachutes by Coldplay
Sep 25 2024

i enjoyed a rush of blood to the head a lot more than this. very bland, but nothing i would turn off if it came on again

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Sep 26 2024

though i’m usually partial to prog, i found this album to be very middle of the road. not bad, but nothing special

Sep 28 2024

Enjoyed this a lot more than the other Bob Dylan album I've listened to so far. What he lacks in vocals he more than makes up for in songwriting ability

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Sep 29 2024

i could see myself enjoying this in limited bursts, but ambient/electronic will never be my cup of tea

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Sep 30 2024

can be a little sultry at times, but this has some depth to it. simple concept that’s executed quite well. a worthy addition to this list

Fragile by Yes
Oct 01 2024

Roundabout is a phenomenal intro. Cool prog album, really enjoyed this one

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Oct 03 2024

it insists upon itself i’ll give it a 2 bc the music itself isn’t half bad, but i will never listen to this album in full again

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Oct 04 2024

3 hours of 69 love songs was more enjoyable than this

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Oct 05 2024

not as good as paranoid, but still a phenomenal album in its own right.

Oct 06 2024

this is why i do the list. to find great albums ive never heard of. really good indie rock

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 07 2024

after blood sugar sex magick, i thought i wasn’t a fan of RHCP. turns out i just didn’t gel with that album, really loved this

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Oct 08 2024

really good 90s grunge. the latter half drags a little bit for me, but this is super solid overall.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Oct 09 2024

not half bad for an electronic/ambient album. nothing i’d listen to on shuffle, but i might revisit eventually

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Oct 10 2024

this had the makings of a 5 star, but i found it to be a bit bloated so -1. still a great body of work

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 11 2024

i don’t think there’s a single bad song on this album. not as good as exodus imo, but still a great reggae album

Teen Dream by Beach House
Oct 13 2024

fantastic dream pop record

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Oct 15 2024

Easily the group's best album. Every song is phenomenal, Hendrix has ample space to showcase his incredible guitar playing and his songwriting abilities.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Oct 16 2024

this sounds like something you’d heard in the matrix movies.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Oct 17 2024

Dr John makes Bob Dylan sound like Pavarotti. Cool New Orleans sound to it, just not something I see myself revisiting often

The Score by Fugees
Oct 18 2024

The production, the rhymes, the variation in styles between each group member; one of the greatest hip-hop albums I've ever heard. Idk how I went this long without actually giving this a proper listen.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Oct 19 2024

A really well rounded album. Sad, yet hopeful. Peak country/folk rock.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Oct 20 2024

Not my personal cup of tea at all. Found his voice to be extremely grating

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Oct 21 2024

The beginning is the strongest portion of this album, and aside from slightly tapering off in the midsection, this is a great LP. Never heard of this guy before he came up on the generator, now I kinda wanna dig into his discography.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Oct 22 2024

A beautifully rich album. IDK wtf they're saying half the time and it somehow doesn't matter in the slightest.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Oct 23 2024

Pretty decent, didn't overstay its welcome.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Oct 25 2024

Sounds incredibly modern, you'd never guess this was from 1971

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Oct 26 2024

didn’t like Big Brother and the Holding Company at all so I went into this album thinking I just wasn’t a fan of Janis Joplin as a singer. Could not have been more wrong, she’s got an incredible voice. Production kicks ass too

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Oct 27 2024

pretty decent, liked the singers voice

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Oct 28 2024

It's pretty good as far as live albums go. Feels like a fucking eternity to play through though

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 29 2024

would? is an incredible outro. great album from start to finish with only 2 filler songs imo

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Oct 30 2024

One thing the 1001 albums generator has taught me so far is that I'm not too keen on The Rolling Stones

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Oct 31 2024

A strong debut. Not a fan of how Ozzy sounds on most of these songs tho

Nov 01 2024

definitely feels like an extension of nirvana, but does enough to stand on its own as a great grunge/riot grrrl album

Diamond Life by Sade
Nov 02 2024

When I was in 6th/7th grade, I played trumpet in the school concert band. I really enjoyed it, so I also joined the after school jazz band. I had never heard of Sade until our band director picked “Smooth Operator” as our piece for the Spring Concert. Many years passed without me thinking of Sade or Smooth Operator. One afternoon I was out shopping for records and I found Smooth Operator on a 12 inch single. Immediately took it home and gave it a spin; the song just was just good as I remembered. So naturally I listened to the full album and the rest is history. I say all of that to say that this album is a smooth-soul/jazz classic and a phenomenal debut album that will always have a special place in my heart.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Nov 05 2024

the guy who married his underage cousin opens his live album with a song named "high school confidential" can't make this shit up for the love of god ENOUGH with the live albums

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Nov 06 2024

an overall enjoyable album, but nothing i feel strongly compelled to revisit

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Nov 07 2024

decent garage rock album (with some blues sprinkled throughout) but ultimately nothing compelling

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Nov 08 2024

for as hard as i had to work to find a copy of this to download, it was not worth the listen

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Nov 09 2024

not the biggest costello fan. it’s listenable, but nothing special

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 10 2024

another great joni mitchell album

Black Metal by Venom
Nov 11 2024

i just can't take satan oriented death metal seriously. reeks of "i'm 14 and this is edgy"

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Nov 13 2024

really good early 2000s rock. never heard of this band or album

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Nov 14 2024

cool rap album, never heard of this group before

Abbey Road by Beatles
Nov 15 2024

i couldn’t say anything that hasn’t already been said. their finest album

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Nov 17 2024

Beautifully uneasy, not many artists could make an album like this

Traffic by Traffic
Nov 18 2024

a decent listen, but nothing super memorable

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Nov 20 2024

it’s a good live album, just a bit long winded at times

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 21 2024

it’s a decent listen, though nothing i feel compelled to revisit in full. the art teacher is a beautiful track, easily my favorite.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Nov 22 2024

she has an incredible voice, that i can’t deny. but outside of that, i really didn’t care for this. production hasn’t aged well and the album goes on for far too long.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Nov 23 2024

it’s a good album, but i’ll never understand the rave reviews

Solid Air by John Martyn
Nov 24 2024

the nick drake influence is all over this, nice album that doesn’t overstay its welcome

25 by Adele
Nov 25 2024

fucking gorgeous, among the best contemporary pop has to offer

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Nov 26 2024

love all the different genre fusions going on, really good stuff

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 27 2024

a delightful listen

Da Capo by Love
Nov 28 2024

a decent listen but nothing super memorable overall

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 29 2024

cool blend of genres but it just didn’t click for me (outside of I’m Glad)

Low by David Bowie
Nov 30 2024

it’s an alright album but i feel like im taking crazy pills, how is this album so highly lauded?

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Dec 01 2024

last track walked so bob ross could run

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Dec 02 2024

a decent listen, but pretty forgettable as far as paul simon goes

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Dec 03 2024

never been the biggest fan of early beatles albums. it’s solid, but far from their best

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Dec 04 2024

Cool rock album, consistently good and doesn't overstay its welcome

Nowhere by Ride
Dec 05 2024

been meaning to check out more shoegaze, i’ve always liked the little bit i’ve heard in passing. loved this album, bonus points for the cover being hard as hell

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Dec 06 2024

this was a slog to get through. neil young at his worst

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Dec 07 2024

Nice jazz album to relax to. Great horn and piano sections throughout. Inner Crisis being a personal favorite.

Dummy by Portishead
Dec 08 2024

i can’t believe i’d never heard this album until now. incredibly unique, never heard anything quite like this. the production is moody and atmospheric; elements of hip hop and jazz scattered throughout. Beth Gibbons’ vocals are beautifully depressing, the perfect pairing for this kind of production. will be revisiting this a ton

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Dec 09 2024

solid blues album. anything that ends with “live from newport” is top notch

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Dec 10 2024

If there’s one jazz album you should listen to, it’s Kind of Blue. This was one of the first jazz records I ever listened to in full and it will always be one of my favorites. As many others have said, it’s an album that works in so many contexts. For a close listen, there’s so many little things to pick up on (one obvious one and my personal favorite is how the opening of Flamenco Sketches loosely resembles the opening of So What?, providing a sense of familiarity and completeness to the record.) The record also serves as excellent background noise, effortlessly setting the mood in almost any situation. I’ve played this record more times than I can count and I’ll never tire of it, truly one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Dec 11 2024

a classic rap album. the birth of g-funk and Snoop Dogg’s rap career (Deep Cover is technically his debut but I weight this more since he wrote on a good chunk of this album)

Garbage by Garbage
Dec 14 2024

really good alt rock

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Dec 15 2024

all over the place sonically and consistency-wise. some good songs on here, but none of them are long enough to leave any lasting impression on me.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Dec 16 2024

this guy sounds like his balls are being squeeze in a vise. there are some good riffs/musical moments on here, but they are few and far between. hard pass on ever listening to this again

Dec 17 2024

i have a love hate relationship with the lead singers vocals, damn good album though

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Dec 18 2024

really enjoyed this. moody and atmospheric

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Dec 20 2024

i kinda get it? like it isn't the worst thing I've ever heard, but i also don't see myself revisiting it

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Dec 21 2024

nice twangy album, definitely see myself coming back to this if the mood is right

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Dec 22 2024

shows it’s age production wise, but it’s a well made album. was not expecting the edge of seventeen sample on Bootylicious

Dec 23 2024

what is the instrument you hear on 90s rap albums ? a synth? a keyboard of some sort? whatever it is, need it injected into my veins. the pharcyde is a group i knew of (mostly their biggest hit, Runnin’) but never dove into for reasons still unknown to me. glad my introduction was through their debut. it’s a solid effort. lively production with verses to match. love how animated these guys sound. i wish some of the interludes were their own full songs (especially Pack the Pipe) definitely something i’ll be revisiting.

Timeless by Goldie
Dec 25 2024

an electronic album that’s unbearably long. name a more iconic duo

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Dec 27 2024

their best album, second only to …And Justice for All

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Dec 28 2024

always been a sucker for this type of folk rock

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Dec 29 2024

started out really strong, but kind of tapered off in the second half. cool production, feels like modern 80s synthpop

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Dec 30 2024

not a fan of the vocals

Stankonia by OutKast
Dec 31 2024

every outkast album stands on its own when it comes to the production side. nothing feels rehashed, everything has a freshness. these guys wear their influences on their sleeves, all while putting their own spin/flavor on it. i’m especially fond of the funk influence that permeates the entire album. dre and big boi deliver another classic

first time ever listening to a u2 album the whole way through. always been lukewarm on the radio singles, and i feel the same with this album. the intro is great, no doubt about that, but nothing really left a lasting impression on me outside of that

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jan 02 2025

the singing is quite dry, but everything else is pretty cool. perfect music to sleep to (derogatory)

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jan 03 2025

I Believe in a Thing Called Love was the only song I was familiar with, and truth be told I never knew what album it was off of, much less the band who made it, until today. Solid early 2000s hard rock, nothing I’d actively seek out but something I’d listen to in passing.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jan 04 2025

surprisingly decent electronic album. a bit repetitive at times, but i suppose that’s par for the course when it comes to this genre

Kala by M.I.A.
Jan 05 2025

sonically rich and dense, but it’s also repetitive as hell. paper planes is great tho

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Jan 06 2025

decent as far as new waves goes

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jan 07 2025

I understand Elvis's inclusion on the 1001 list. Even as a self-professed Elvis-hater, I can at least see the merit in his inclusion. But why this album? Surely there were other musicians doing far more interesting projects in 1969 no? As for this album, it's bland and inoffensive; the best I can really say for Elvis. Not something I would ever revisit in full. Gentle On My Mind is the only song I honestly enjoyed.

Be by Common
Jan 08 2025

This album has one of the strongest intro/outro combos imo. I’m particularly fond of It’s Your World, feels like a summation of the album in its entirety

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jan 09 2025

Never been the biggest Aerosmith fan but I thoroughly enjoyed this album

Repeater by Fugazi
Jan 10 2025

Cool hardcore rock album. Has the perfect level of 90s angst.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jan 11 2025

beautiful album, some of the best post-rock i’ve had the pleasure of listening to

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jan 13 2025

they should’ve let the woman sing more, i would’ve enjoyed the album more

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jan 14 2025

I am an absolute sucker for those 80s synths that sound like melodic droning (idk how else to describe it).

GI by Germs
Jan 15 2025

genuinely what is he saying? musically it's alright, but that last track killed any good will i had for this album

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jan 16 2025

great opener and a decent cover of heard it through the grapevine. not much else to say about this album though, feels pretty run of the mill for its time

Jan 17 2025

tainted love is great, the rest of this album fails to meet that high

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jan 18 2025

david bowie does blue eyed soul. count me in

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jan 19 2025

delightful folk rock album

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jan 20 2025

not something i’d revisit in full, but it’s a interesting body of work. pulled me in and kept my interest throughout

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 21 2025

fine as far as vocals go. dreadfully boring as far as the backing tracks are concerned

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 23 2025

it really feels like i’m sitting at the bar where this was recorded

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Jan 24 2025

i had heard this once before and didn’t think much of it, not sure what the hell was wrong w me then. phenomenal album.

Smash by The Offspring
Jan 28 2025

not my cup of tea

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 30 2025

an all time classic. dad rock that actually sounds good

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Feb 02 2025

This heavy industrial sound kinda reminds me of Portishead's debut. Solid album

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Feb 03 2025

It was a cool late summer/early autumn night. I was a freshman in college. As usual, I was stoned out of my gourd and listening to music. I'm not sure how I stumbled across Maggot Brain, as I was pretty unfamiliar with George Clinton's music at that point. Regardless, I was mind blown. That title track is an all timer, it's an added bonus that the rest of the album matches the high expectations set by the intro. A must listen

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Feb 04 2025

a sick and demented album that has an undeniable charm to it. showcases eminem’s talents well

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Feb 05 2025

warm and inviting r&b. need to dive into dangelo’s catalog more

Technique by New Order
Feb 06 2025

not my cup of tea

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Feb 08 2025

Louis Prima has a great voice, easily the best part of this album. Musically it’s good, but a bit samey

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Feb 09 2025

okay electronic album, just not something that draws me in

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Feb 10 2025

atmospheric as hell. definitely a bit difficult to enjoy at times, but adamson nails the vibe he’s shooting for.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 11 2025

enjoyable late 60s psych rock album. that last track is terrible though

21 by Adele
Feb 12 2025

this album was inescapable when it came out, and for good reason. the radio hits are showstoppers, and the album cuts are really, really good

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Feb 13 2025

fantastic, ain’t no way is an all time closer

Raw Power by The Stooges
Feb 14 2025

idk if I’m a fan of the “Iggy Mix” feels really flat. it’s a great album otherwise

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 15 2025

i will never understand the springsteen hype

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Feb 16 2025

idk i just find this style of rock to be unremarkable

Feb 17 2025

idk how i’ve never heard of laura nyro before. starts a lot stronger than it finishes, but it’s a beautiful blend of genres throughout.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Feb 18 2025

Little Richard is an obvious legend and hugely influential when it comes to rock and roll. that being said, i don’t see myself coming back to this outside of enjoying the novelty factor

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Feb 19 2025

soothing bossa nova, top notch stuff

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Feb 20 2025

this feels like it goes on for an eternity, and the album is only 34 minutes

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Feb 21 2025

another shitty electronic album that goes on for far too long

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 22 2025

another prison album, can’t complain

Opus Dei by Laibach
Feb 24 2025

Music for dudes who are a little too into learning about Nazis

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 25 2025

really enjoyed this. great songwriting, and Apple has a beautiful voice

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Feb 26 2025

it’s decent. lead singer sounds like a precursor to early 2010s stomp clamp music

The La's by The La's
Feb 27 2025

decent. nothing i’ll revisit

Revolver by Beatles
Mar 01 2025

I had a Beatles phase in my late teens so I am a tad biased This is the first album where the Beatles really showed what they were capable of (imo), and they went on an absolute heater from then on out as far as albums go. The songwriting feels so much fresher, the music more dynamic: it's really the whole package. Even as a 16/17 year old kid, I was mind blown by Tomorrow Never Knows and how crazy it was that something made in 1966 could sound like that. Pair that with the Sitar that George was into at the time, and I thought I had the coolest music taste in the world when I discovered this

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Mar 02 2025

i'm normally all for just noodling around on a synthesizer but i found this to be a chore to get through. yet another live album that did not need including

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Mar 03 2025

Enjoyed this a good deal, some songs go on for a bit longer than I’d like but it’s otherwise an enjoyable listen.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 04 2025

A classic Jazz album, can’t go wrong with this

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Mar 07 2025

This guy kinda sounds like Jimi Hendrix Cool blues album. Nothing I’d revisit in full probably, but it’s well made

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 08 2025

This is the site’s highest rated album (as of writing) for good reason. Throw this on shuffle and you’d probably land on a megahit. Even the “deep cuts” have the aura of hit singles. It’s pure perfection in song

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Mar 09 2025

If Michael Jackson and Prince had an illegitimate son, he would sound like this.

Debut by Björk
Mar 10 2025

Solid solo debut. Has Björks usual quirkiness/interesting production that i’ve come to love

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Mar 11 2025

Never listened to a Willie Nelson album before this. It’s decent country, but nothing that stands out to me

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Mar 12 2025

Has a bluesy sound that reminds me of the Stones at times. It’s decent, just not something I’d seek out

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Mar 13 2025

Eh. It's decent, just nothing I haven't heard before.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Mar 14 2025

It’s a no for me, didn’t care for the vocals

Spiderland by Slint
Mar 17 2025

liked the instrumentation, not sure how i feel about the vocals. will need to give it another spin

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Mar 18 2025

beautiful. no notes

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Mar 19 2025

definitely unique sounding, not sure if i’m a fan tho

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Mar 21 2025

another classic from zeppelin. album cuts on this are great, four sticks is a personal favorite

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 22 2025

Probably my least favorite of the first 4 Zeppelin albums. it’s not bad by any stretch, just pales in comparison to it’s predecessors/successors

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Mar 23 2025

Solid 60s rock. Could see myself revisiting this on occasion.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Mar 24 2025

cool electronic album.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 25 2025

Still not a big Springsteen fan, but this is so much better than Born in the USA

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Mar 26 2025

the 2 singles are genuinely good and catchy. unfortunately, that’s where the positives end for this album. just wasn’t a fan of the album cuts

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Mar 28 2025

this shit put me to sleep (derogatory)

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 30 2025

Incredible blend of latin music, rock, blues, jazz

Liquid Swords by GZA
Mar 31 2025

2nd favorite solo wu tang project behind cuban linx. GZA and RZA were on another level

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Apr 01 2025

Side 1 is stronger than side 2, but a good album nonetheless

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 02 2025

starts and finishes strong, mid section is a bit weaker but overall a good album

#1 Record by Big Star
Apr 03 2025

inoffensive yet unremarkable for me

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Apr 04 2025

Interesting album cover but it’s otherwise a dreadful listening experience

xx by The xx
Apr 05 2025

it’s okay. nothing i’d turn off if it came on, but very bland

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Apr 06 2025

The first solo Beatle album I listened to way back in my high school Beatles phase. I specifcally remember hearing Band on the Run on the radio and saying "Gee that sounds just like Paul McCartney" and my mom going "...That's because it is". Went out to buy a copy on vinyl and the rest is history. Was blown away then, and still am to this day. Perfect intro/outro combo. Picasso's Last Words is my sleeper pick for best on the album. I'm a sucker for a good medley (as is McCartney). Probably his best work post-Beatles

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Apr 08 2025

classic r&b/soul

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Apr 11 2025

Last 2 tracks are all time classics. Rest of the album is a bit dated, but i’ll let it slide since it’s a foundational hip hop album

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 12 2025

The first time I ever heard this album was when my dad took me to see Dweezil Zappa on tour, phenomenal album

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Apr 13 2025

Don't think I've ever really understood the appeal to The Velvet Underground. Definitely cool and experimental for the time, but idk, just doesn't grab me

Rocks by Aerosmith
Apr 14 2025

Solid album

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Apr 15 2025

It’s alright. Don’t really understand the appeal if i’m being honest

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Apr 16 2025

The guy who put this in the book deserves a swirlie. No, I will not listen to 3 1/2 hours of beep boop music

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Apr 18 2025

Starts out a lot stronger than it finishes. Enjoyed it more than Sister

Apr 20 2025

i know this album is lauded by critics and fans alike, but i can’t say i fully understand the hype. it’s well made, and i don’t find it annoying, but i just don’t fully get it ig

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 21 2025

good as far as british rock goes

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Apr 22 2025

Way more stripped down than the other Velvet Underground albums I’ve listened to thus far, really like it

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Apr 23 2025

eh. it’s alright. the acapella version of “back to life” is superior imo

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Apr 24 2025

Soft ass singer/songwriter alt country. I liked it

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 26 2025

Even though I didn't love every track, as a concept album I found it easy to follow and a compelling listen

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Apr 27 2025

This album opens with banger after banger after banger. second half tapers off a bit, but an overall great body of work

Moondance by Van Morrison
Apr 28 2025

solid early 70s rock album

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Apr 29 2025

Nice Sampledelia album, back half is better than the first

Scum by Napalm Death
Apr 30 2025

I hate the singing. None of the songs last long enough for me to remember anything about them (which in hindsight is a good thing, considering how dreadful this was)

Graceland by Paul Simon
May 01 2025

to this day i’m still not sure what you can call me al is about

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
May 02 2025

dad rock, but it stays pretty interesting throughout. finishes stronger than it starts

Another Green World by Brian Eno
May 05 2025

Im not sure how I felt about this one tbh. A fine listen all things considered, but nothing really grabbed me

May 06 2025

i’ve always loved this album. the best wu-tang album hands down, something that could only exist at that moment in time.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
May 07 2025

First couple songs are really good, kind of meh on the rest. Good songs, but nothing super memorable.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
May 08 2025

It’s decent, Our House is a banger tho

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
May 10 2025

Probably my favorite of all the smiths albums i’ve listened to so far

The Grand Tour by George Jones
May 11 2025

Starts out solid but loses its footing along the way. Overall decent as far as country goes.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 12 2025

I really didn’t like fever to tell, but i found this to be pretty okay overall. Started out super strong

Goo by Sonic Youth
May 14 2025

It’s decent, just don’t think Sonic Youth is for me

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
May 15 2025

far from groundbreaking as far as jazz goes, but it’s an enjoyable listen

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
May 16 2025

Eh. Outside of American Girl and Breakdown I didn’t find this to be anything to write home about

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
May 17 2025

Probably wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to it again, but it’s an inoffensive album, I wouldn’t turn it off either

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 18 2025

Slight step down from Thriller, but a damn good album

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
May 20 2025

Often considered their magnum opus, and I can see why now that I've finally listened to it. Love how many samples they used, loved the energy they bring to every record. I think I'd put Ill Communication a hair above this, but I can't argue with anybody saying that this is their best.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
May 21 2025

Does every damn song really need an intro explanation. “This is a song about when you need to go to work but would rather stay in bed… Ohhhh I need to get to work, but I’d rather stay in bed” ass music

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
May 22 2025

Eh. British rock just doesn’t seem to resonate with me

Urban Hymns by The Verve
May 23 2025

Only knew Bittersweet Symphony before giving this a listen. Rest of the album is really good, might be a new favorite for me

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
May 24 2025

Really did not care for the instrumentals on here.

Ctrl by SZA
May 25 2025

The best R&B album of the 2010s, next to Blonde

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
May 26 2025

Humpty Dance carries. Production is actually decent throughout. Rhyme schemes are a bit simple by today’s standards, but there’s fun to be had with this. Last few songs drag tho

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
May 27 2025

Cool listen, not sure if i’d return tho

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
May 29 2025

I initially stumbled across this album when a video about the samples popped up on my YouTube feed. Absolutely fell in love with this. This is one of those albums that you truly have to listen to before you die. An absolute masterpiece, particularly the beginning section. The back half is a bit hit or miss for me personally, but it never lessens my enjoyment of the album

The Coral by The Coral
May 30 2025

Definitely has a unique sound to it, just not sure if it’s for me

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 31 2025

Big singles are good, not a big fan of everything else tbh

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jun 01 2025

gorgeous voice, love the jazzy vibe

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jun 02 2025

good album, just a little long winded

Kenya by Machito
Jun 03 2025

hard to have a bad time listening to this

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jun 04 2025

Liked this a lot more than their debut. Come On Eileen is an all timer as far as closers go

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jun 05 2025

Not a fan of the singing, but there’s a few good tracks on here

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 07 2025

Starts out really strong but loses its footing in the latter half (outside of Wake Me Up When September Ends)

Faith by George Michael
Jun 09 2025

some finely crafted pop music. hell of a start with Faith and Father Figure back to back

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jun 10 2025

I’ve really warmed up to Talking Heads since starting this list. Very fun album, Once In a Lifetime is an undeniable masterpiece

Pink Flag by Wire
Jun 12 2025

Pretty solid Punk

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Brian Wilson just died and this album pops up, how fitting. A phenomenal listen and a landmark album for pop music

Calenture by The Triffids
Jun 14 2025

Found the songwriting to be weak, and the music itself wasn’t particularly compelling

Jun 15 2025

Remember when DVDs included previews before the main menu? This sounds like something you’d hear for a mid budget 2000s action movie.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jun 16 2025

Really beautiful instrumentals. Vocals are a bit hit or miss for me but they definitely hit more than they miss

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jun 19 2025

I think the highs on here are better than AmeriKKKa's most, but it isn't as consistent (particularly in the latter half of the album)

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jun 20 2025

This may be controversial, but I’ve never been the biggest fan of Karma Chameleon

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Jun 21 2025

Cool album. Always been a fan of the Native Toungues collective, just never the biggest Jungle Brothers fan

Jun 22 2025

It's a really cool concept, sounds nice as well. But I don't see myself revisiting this all that often

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jun 23 2025

Hells Bells is an all time intro, still can’t stand AC/DC

Jun 24 2025

I understand listing 1001 albums is a daunting task, but including live albums that are half comprised of songs that are already on other albums from the list feels lazy as hell. Especially fucking Motörhead of all bands

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jun 26 2025

Finely crafted folk no doubt, just didn’t find anything particularly special about it.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 27 2025

Really enjoyed this, feels like a white woman version of Love Deluxe

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Jun 28 2025

Punk has never been my favorite genre, but this was fairly enjoyable

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jun 29 2025

Idk. It’s just not for me

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jun 30 2025

Great album from the midst of Stevie’s peak

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jul 01 2025

Not quite sure what to make of this. Apple Music had this labeled as “traditional folk” and this is 100% what i’d imagine it to sound like

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jul 02 2025

this commits a cardinal sin: it’s boring as fuck

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 03 2025

very dusty/airy mixing on here. a respectable debut

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jul 04 2025

fantastic instrumentals, incredible follow up to her debut

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jul 06 2025

Not sure how often I’d revisit in full, but it’s a fun afrobeat/funk album.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jul 07 2025

Cool album, not a huge fan of the last 2 songs

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 08 2025

Hugely influential, though a bit samey

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jul 09 2025

The epitome of early 2010s era hipster music

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jul 10 2025

Beautifully composed

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 11 2025

Middle of the road, don't understand how Neil Young has so many damn albums on here

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jul 12 2025

I don’t like or dislike Morrissey as a solo act.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Jul 13 2025

Nothing really stuck with me, but I wouldn’t say it was unenjoyable.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jul 14 2025

Really good jazz, Ellington is a legend for good reason

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jul 15 2025

It can be a lot at times but when it all comes together it’s something to behold.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jul 17 2025

First time I listened to this I didn't understand all the acclaim, finally clicked for me

Fun House by The Stooges
Jul 18 2025

I just don't think Iggy/The Stooges are my cup of tea. Either that or I need to revisit this at some point.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Jul 23 2025

Eh. Not bad but nothing memorable

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jul 24 2025

Hard to have a bad time with this.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 25 2025

I do not care for Dexy’s Midnight Runners. There is no fucking way they deserve 3 !!!! spots on this list

War by U2
Jul 27 2025

Think I enjoyed this more than All That You Can’t Leave Behind

Snivilisation by Orbital
Jul 28 2025

Techno albums not being dreadfully long and boring challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Is This It by The Strokes
Jul 29 2025

One of the best debuts of all time hands down.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jul 30 2025

Haven’t heard anything that sounds quite like this. Not sure if it’s something i’ll revisit, but I had a good time with this

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jul 31 2025

Unbearable listen

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Aug 03 2025

it’s alright, though nothing i feel compelled to revisit

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Aug 04 2025

It’s decent, liked a few songs but a majority just didn’t click w me

Moving Pictures by Rush
Aug 05 2025

When I was a kid I thought Tom Sawyer sounded like the coolest song in the world. I still feel that way at 25

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Aug 06 2025

Pretty cool pop album, enjoyed this.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Aug 07 2025

There is 0 fucking chance that this band needed 3 goddamn albums on the list. This is the best one of the three but god do I loathe this band.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Aug 08 2025

This was all over the place. Really liked some songs, others were crap

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 09 2025

I listened to this a while back and thought it was just okay. Upon revisiting, I’d put it a hair above that, but just isn’t something I could see myself revisiting

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Aug 10 2025

Reasons is one of Earth Wind and Fire's best songs, easily the best on this album. Undeniably funky soul.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Aug 11 2025

Really well produced. Majid Jordan, Pharrell, Caroline Polacheck, Timbaland etc. contributing some good ass songs on here. Also enjoyed Beyonces performance on here. Forgot how much I enjoyed the song with Drake

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Aug 12 2025

Im not sure what I think about this tbh. Cool for some parts, absolutely out there for others

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Aug 13 2025

You really never see people talking about this album the same way they do Innervisions, Songs In the Key of Life etc. Stevie was on a different level at this stage of his career, top tier stuff.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Aug 16 2025

Hard no for me

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Aug 17 2025

Didn’t really click w the first Byrds album I listened to, really enjoyed this one.

B-52's by The B-52's
Aug 18 2025

Rock Lobster is fun

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Aug 21 2025

It’s Thriller, what else needs to be said?

Aug 22 2025

Production was pretty good. It’s a bit dated in quite a few aspects, but more or less holds up

Aug 24 2025

Started out pretty well but tapered off by the end. Not something I’d revisit but definitely an interesting listen.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Aug 25 2025

Good lord this list just loves to give you some random British band

Destroyer by KISS
Aug 26 2025

very cheesy pop rock, saved by Shout It Out Loud

Aug 28 2025

All Eyez On Me has the better hits, but I think this album takes the cake in terms of his best all around album

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Aug 29 2025

Enjoyed this more than other Sonic Youth albums, still don’t know if they’re for me

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Aug 30 2025

interesting listen, though not my cup of tea

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Aug 31 2025

A decent listen, just a bit repetitive for my liking

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Sep 01 2025

It's alright, never been too keen on 80s hair-metal

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Sep 02 2025

A fine listen, just not something I see myself revisiting in full

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Sep 03 2025

Cool album, though nothing really stood out aside from the first few tracks

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Sep 04 2025

Hard to have a bad time with Van Morrison

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Sep 05 2025

Not a fan of the nasally vocals

Damaged by Black Flag
Sep 06 2025

Not a big punk guy, but enjoyed this for what it was and for the influence it had on the genre

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Sep 08 2025

Never thought I’d see the day where I enjoyed an ambient album

Blur by Blur
Sep 10 2025

Eh. Some good songs on here no doubt, just didn’t love this in its entirety.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Sep 11 2025

Cool album. Enjoyed the instrumental portion a bit more than the beginning bit

OK by Talvin Singh
Sep 12 2025

Not a big fan of Drum & Bass, this did nothing to change that.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Sep 13 2025

This is what I think when I hear “Classic Rock”

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Sep 14 2025

Title track may just be one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Sep 15 2025

Fun 90s rap album

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Sep 16 2025

Inoffensive singer-songwriter

The Stooges by The Stooges
Sep 17 2025

First 2 songs had me thinking I was finally gonna be sold on The Stooges, unfortunately the rest of the album was pretty hit or miss for me. If We Will Fall wasn't on here, I'd probably put this as my favorite in their discography.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 18 2025

Still not an Elvis Costello guy

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Sep 19 2025

Eh. Not my cup of tea

Sep 20 2025

Really enjoyed this

Country Life by Roxy Music
Sep 22 2025

Title track is cool, rest is just alright

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Sep 23 2025

If not for the sex skits, this would be a perfect album

Kimono My House by Sparks
Sep 24 2025

Interesting listen, just not something I think I’d revisit

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Sep 25 2025

Really enjoyed this. Title track is the best, but rest of the album matches up to it quite well

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 26 2025

Cool album, nice guitar playing

Arrival by ABBA
Sep 27 2025

First ABBA album i’ve listened to in full. nice feel good 70s pop, just not something i feel compelled to visit in full. dancing queen is the clear highlight.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Sep 29 2025

complete 180 from the refinement of MBDTF, yeezus is dark and scattered. loved a few songs back when it released, have come to love the whole album (except send it up).

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Sep 30 2025

The good songs are excellent, but there’s just a few too many forgettable tracks on here for me to really hold this album in high regard.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Oct 01 2025

Enjoyed this for what it was, just not the biggest Pixies guy

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Oct 03 2025

*checks where the Beta Band is from* *sees that they’re from the UK* ah, now i see how they got 2 placements on this list

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Oct 04 2025

One of the nice things this list has given me is a newfound appreciation for Nick Drake

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Oct 05 2025

A Visit to the Gynecologist is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard, rest of the album pretty cool tho.

90 by 808 State
Oct 06 2025

Didn’t care for this all too much

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Oct 07 2025

Frankie says the first few songs are pretty good, the rest is a mixed bag

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 08 2025

My favorite Herbie Hancock album

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Oct 09 2025

Genuinely fantastic album, enjoyed it much more than their debut

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Oct 12 2025

Interesting listen. Feels like an early precursor to sampledelia

Faust IV by Faust
Oct 13 2025

Not a Krautrock fan

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 14 2025

Not bad, just didn’t find this all too interesting

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Oct 17 2025

Big ATCQ fan, somehow never listened to a solo Q-Tip album. Fun listen

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 18 2025

Eh. Not a big Springsteen guy and this didn’t change that

The Slider by T. Rex
Oct 19 2025

Enjoyed Electric Warrior quite a bit, this felt like a major step down

High Violet by The National
Oct 21 2025

Eh. Technically fine, just found it a bit boring

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Oct 22 2025

Pretty good, just overstays its welcome a bit

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 25 2025

Springsteen goes acoustic. Not bad, but not all that interesting to me personally.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 26 2025

This is like the 4th Elvis Costello album I’ve been given, firmly in the “it’s not bad, but I don’t find it interesting camp.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Oct 27 2025

Just not my thing

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Oct 28 2025

I’m a jazz guy, so dudes noodling around for extended periods is not a dealbreaker. But this bored me to tears, absolutely nothing going on here

Smile by Brian Wilson
Oct 30 2025

The story behind this is pretty cool, same for the album itself.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Nov 01 2025

Cool album, just not something I think I'd revisit.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Nov 02 2025

Nice, inoffensive folk rock

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Nov 03 2025

Just not a big glam rock guy

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Nov 04 2025

Actually enjoyed this for what it was, the better Randy Newman album from this list

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Nov 07 2025

God what is it with electronic albums from the 90s being hour long slogs to get through?

I See You by The xx
Nov 08 2025

More interesting than their debut, starts better than it finishes

Nov 11 2025

Hard pass for me. British rap just isn’t my thing, and this guys delivery is especially terrible

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Nov 13 2025

I’ve come to loathe Public Image Ltd.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Nov 15 2025

Long as hell, but stayed interesting throughout. This list has me becoming a big Van Morrison fan.

Eagles by Eagles
Nov 16 2025

It's like white bread; good, but not something I'd ever call my favorite.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Nov 17 2025

Cool album that blends a few genres together to make a memorable soundscape

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Nov 18 2025

The hits carry this album.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Nov 20 2025

Pretty lively and interesting throughout

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Nov 21 2025

Knew the big hits, enjoyed the album cuts too

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Nov 22 2025

I honestly thought that Alright song was from the early 2010s. Pretty fun listen

Quiet Life by Japan
Nov 23 2025

Not wholly uninteresting, just not something I see myself revisiting

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Nov 24 2025

Really liked the first song, the rest of the album just didn’t click with me though. Nice thing about punk albums is the short runtimes

My Generation by The Who
Nov 25 2025

Far from their best album, solid debut

Being There by Wilco
Nov 26 2025

Enjoyed it for what it was, not my favorite from Wilco

Tical by Method Man
Nov 28 2025

It’s a solid album, just doesn’t stack up compared to the other solo wu tang projects on the list (Cuban Linx & Liquid Swords)

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Nov 29 2025

Another 60s rock album that doesn’t bring a whole lot to the table

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Nov 30 2025

These electronic albums are such a slog

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Dec 02 2025

I liked a song or two on here, but on the whole it’s just kinda underwhelming.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Dec 03 2025

Enjoyed a few songs on here, still isn’t my favorite sound by any stretch

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Dec 04 2025

I enjoy The Byrds don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think they needed 3 spots on this list

Infected by The The
Dec 05 2025

Enjoyed this quite a bit

White Ladder by David Gray
Dec 06 2025

Enjoyed this quite a bit

GREY Area by Little Simz
Dec 09 2025

Not my favorite from Little Simz, but a solid album that doesn’t overstay its welcome

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Dec 10 2025

Not a big fan of some of these 60s rock albums, this one being no exception

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 11 2025

A fitting conclusion to a legendary career

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Dec 12 2025

Just as good as her debut, if not a little better

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Dec 13 2025

Another solid Rufus album. Liked this a bit more than Want 2

S&M by Metallica
Dec 14 2025

Still not a live album guy

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Dec 15 2025

Great album, Scott Heron is a one of one

Moon Safari by Air
Dec 16 2025

Enjoyed this quite a bit as far as electronic albums go

Imagine by John Lennon
Dec 17 2025

Eh. Lennon as a solo act has never done all that much for me, more of the same from this

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Dec 18 2025

I'm not sure what the hell I just listened to

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Dec 19 2025

Eh. I enjoy Wilco but this just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Third by Portishead
Dec 20 2025

Portishead goes 3/3

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Dec 21 2025

Nobody does Sophisti-Pop quite like the Pet Shop Boys

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Dec 24 2025

An interesting listen, just not sure if it’s for me

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Dec 27 2025

A fine album, just not something I could see myself coming back to.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Dec 28 2025

Fantastic debut album

Violator by Depeche Mode
Dec 29 2025

Solid album.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Dec 30 2025

Been a while since the generator has given me an album this horrendous

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Dec 31 2025

Thank God it was only 16 minutes

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jan 02 2026

Eh. A few interesting tracks, but mostly something I don’t see myself revisiting

Jan 03 2026

Phenomenal album. Common is such a gifted storyteller, production is stellar as well

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jan 04 2026

Still lukewarm on the White Stripes.

Wild Gift by X
Jan 05 2026

Decent, just not for me

Arular by M.I.A.
Jan 08 2026

Just not for me

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout

Decent sophistipop album

Just not a Scott Walker guy

Eh. Not something I could see myself revisiting

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 15 2026

Very good proggy rock

Jan 17 2026

Heavy Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro influences on here. Enjoyed it overall

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jan 18 2026

Another miss for Pere Ubu

Jan 19 2026

Heard so many good things about this, first time listen did not disappoint. Loved the production and the bars on here, don't think there's a single song on here I didn't get some level of enjoyment from

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jan 20 2026

Enjoyable Samba album

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jan 21 2026

Cool instrumental album, always a fan of a good organ

Jan 22 2026

Probably the best U2 album I’ve listened to thus far. The first half of the album is genuinely very strong. Second half kinda peters off into “generic U2 type music” but overall it’s a good album

Jan 23 2026

It's insane how good their later albums are compared to this debut. Shows a lot of promise, but I don't see myself choosing this over other albums in their discography.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 24 2026

Just not a big Leonard Cohen fan, but I can appreciate the appeal

Night Life by Ray Price
Jan 25 2026

Eh. The songs themselves aren't bad, but as a total package everything sort of runs together and doesn't really grab me.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jan 26 2026

Great solo debut. Sounds like a continuation of Steely Dan

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 27 2026

The embodiment of hipster music, pretty good tho

Bossanova by Pixies
Jan 28 2026

Enjoyed this, probably my favorite out of all the Pixies albums I've listened to thus far

Music by Madonna
Jan 29 2026

The cover had me expecting a completely different sound. Liked some songs, hated others. Middle of the road for me

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Feb 02 2026

Solid, A Punch Up at a Wedding is my personal favorite.

Skylarking by XTC
Feb 03 2026

Eh. Didn't really stick out to me, aside from Mermaids

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Feb 05 2026

Eh. First track was interesting but it didn't really grab me after that.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Feb 07 2026

Phenomenal, instantly a new Lou Reed favorite

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Feb 08 2026

Starts out really strong but kinda fizzles out. Not bad by any stretch, just nothing I feel compelled to revisit in full

Microshift by Hookworms
Feb 09 2026

Interesting listen, some cool modern alternative stuff

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Feb 10 2026

Eh. Not terrible, not great

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett

Phenomenal. Dude was cooking with gas

Interesting, just not something I see myself revisiting all too often

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Feb 14 2026

Fantastic, first track pulled me right in.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 15 2026

Heard so many great things about this album, lived up to expectations and then some.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Feb 16 2026

Decent, just nothing that stood out to me

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Feb 17 2026

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Feb 18 2026

Sheet Music by 10cc
Feb 19 2026

Enjoyable, nearly jumped up and applauded when I recognized the Dilla sample

Soul Mining by The The
Feb 20 2026

Enjoyable, could see myself giving this another listen

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 21 2026

First Nick Cave album that really clicked with me

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Feb 23 2026

Despite my dad always playing Zappa when I was growing up, I'd never heard this before. Fun listen

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 24 2026

Eh. All My Friends is a geniunely fantastic track, but I can't see myself coming back to this in full.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Feb 25 2026

It's alright, nothing I feel compelled to revisit

American Gothic by David Ackles

Cool album, couple tracks stick out

First Leonard Cohen album I semi-enjoyed

Mar 07 2026

It’s alright. Another British album ™️ for the 1001 list

More Specials by The Specials
Mar 08 2026

Much better than the other Specials album on here, but still not for me

Mar 09 2026

Enjoyed this a bit more than the other Dusty album on this list

Nixon by Lambchop
Mar 10 2026

Just not for me

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 13 2026

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Mar 14 2026

Eh. Not a Grateful Dead guy but this wasn’t too bad

Station To Station by David Bowie
Mar 15 2026

Never heard this Bowie album before, really really good

Mar 18 2026

Just not for me

1984 by Van Halen

Not as good as their debut, but solid

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Mar 20 2026

Cool listen, not a big soundtrack guy tho

Boston by Boston
Mar 21 2026

One of the best rock albums of all time, incredible debut.

Slayed? by Slade
Mar 23 2026

Not for me

Mar 24 2026

As ive gone thru this list, I’ve grown fonder for electronic projects. This almost made me start to hate them again

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Mar 25 2026

Pretty good, though I think Mezzanine is a better album from these guys

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Mar 28 2026

Cool, not a huge stones guy but I enjoyed this

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Mar 30 2026

Pretty cool

Street Life by The Crusaders

Fun jazz album

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 04 2026

Really fun listen, I'd say I enjoy it just as much as Rumours

The Clash by The Clash
Apr 05 2026

Eh. Not a big fan of British Punk

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Apr 07 2026

Eh. It’s cool, but I’m not a big stones guy

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Apr 08 2026

Cool, but found the vocals a bit boring

Lost Souls by Doves
Apr 12 2026

Really good, went in completely blind and enjoyed it

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Apr 18 2026

First ELO I've listened to in full. Just a sense of grandeur to every track, phenomenal listen.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Apr 20 2026

Enjoyable as far as punk goes

Pump by Aerosmith
Apr 22 2026

Never been a big Aerosmith guy. Especially Love in and Elevator

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Apr 24 2026

Cool riot grrrl

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Apr 25 2026

Probably the best all around stones album I’ve heard from this list

The Cars by The Cars
Apr 26 2026

Starts out pretty strong, but tapers off in the back half

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Apr 28 2026

Eh. Middle of the road for me

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Apr 29 2026

It’s alright. A bit repetitive and long for my liking

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
May 01 2026

Eh. Inoffensive but ultimately not memorable

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
May 02 2026

Interesting listen. Very lush instrumentals and relaxing vocals

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 03 2026

Please let this be the last Elvis Costello album on this list I’m begging you

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
May 04 2026

His best album, never to be topped

Forever Changes by Love
May 07 2026

It’s alright, nothing really stood out to me

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
May 08 2026

Cool listen, but ultimately not something I'd come back to.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
May 10 2026

Cool album from a supergroup, just not something I see myself returning to all that often. Very hit or miss when it comes to Damon Albarn singing

Sea Change by Beck
May 11 2026

2nd full length Beck album I've listened to. Very good, but I need to give it another proper listen

Melodrama by Lorde
May 12 2026

Very solid Pop

Green by R.E.M.
May 13 2026

Not my favorite from REM but a solid album overall

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
May 14 2026

Pretty cool listen.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
May 15 2026

Didn't really resonate with me. Just not a fan of The Band

Tapestry by Carole King
May 16 2026

Fantastic singer-songwriter

Arise by Sepultura
May 18 2026

Cool metal album. Felt a bit repetitive tho

May 20 2026

Eh. Just not my cup of tea

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
May 21 2026

Very solid album from CSNY

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
May 22 2026

First half I wasn't really a fan, but the back half really picked up and won me over.

Dookie by Green Day
May 24 2026

Solid album, never been a big Green Day guy

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
May 25 2026

Good, but a bit long winded

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
May 26 2026

Interesting but not my particular cup of tea

Headquarters by The Monkees
May 27 2026

Just don’t get the monkees hype

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
May 29 2026

Not a big Tom Waits guy, but enjoyed it for what it was.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 01 2026

Eh. Cool but nothing I’d revisit

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 02 2026

Cool, but I feel like Nick Cave is over represented on this list

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 04 2026

Phenomenal soundtrack

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jun 06 2026

Very nice live album

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 08 2026

Heard it a million times now and it never gets old

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jun 09 2026

Not a big sonic youth guy, this didn’t really change that

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Jun 10 2026

This was a chore to listen to. Dudes with vocals like this always make the longest albums.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jun 11 2026

Solid album, but I've never been a biggest fan when it comes to their Pre-Revolver catalogue.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jun 13 2026

Solid Gang Starr album, great beats from Premier

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jun 14 2026

Cool blues rock album

White Light by Gene Clark
Jun 16 2026

Very middle of the road for me, not something I'd come back to.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jun 17 2026

Listened to this once many years ago and found it to be just okay. Upon revisiting, I found myself appreciating this a whole lot more. I see the hype now.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 18 2026

Really liked this

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jun 19 2026

Enjoyable compilation of early Miles Davis, can't go wrong.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 21 2026

Eh. Nothing I would ever return to

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 22 2026

It’s rare that a 2 hour double album doesn’t elicit a groan or eye roll, but this is in a league of its own.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jun 23 2026

I find Morrissey to be “aggressively okay”. This is no exception

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jun 24 2026

Really enjoyed this, very solid R&B

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jun 25 2026

Decent, just not my favorite flavor of blues rock

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jun 26 2026

Pretty cool, runs a bit long but otherwise enjoyable

Third by Soft Machine
Jun 27 2026

Pretty cool listen, nice blend of jazz/prog?

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jun 28 2026

First 2 tracks were phenomenal, then it just becomes yet another mediocre British rock album

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jun 29 2026

Generally enjoyable listen

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jul 01 2026

Really liked this, has a vibe all its own

Vulnicura by Björk
Jul 02 2026

Enjoyed this, Bjork knows how to keep things interesting

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Jul 07 2026

For its time I’m sure it was revolutionary, but hasn’t aged all too gracefully. Obligatory fuck Bambaataa

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 08 2026

Really cool, definitely something I’ll revisit

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jul 09 2026

Eh. This flavor of alt rock just isn’t for me.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jul 10 2026

Pretty good

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jul 11 2026

Phenomenal blues rock

The White Room by The KLF
Jul 12 2026

Cool electronic album, but not something I find myself coming back to

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jul 13 2026

Phenomenal jazz fusion, one of those albums that demands a full listen

Jul 14 2026

Eh. Did not resonate with me like the other Doves album from the list

Electric by The Cult
Jul 15 2026

Decent, just not for me

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jul 16 2026

Enjoyed this a fair bit

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jul 20 2026

Cool, but not something I find myself revisiting in full

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jul 22 2026

The 5th and final cohen album I’ve listened to from this list. He’s in that Bob Dylan tier for me, great songwriter with a voice that I have to be in a specific mood for.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Jul 23 2026

Developed a small soft spot for big beat albums because of this list

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jul 24 2026

Enjoyable samba

Play by Moby
Jul 25 2026

Cool downtempo, runs on a bit too long

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jul 26 2026

Phenomenal album, no such thing as a sophomore slump for ATCQ. Takes all the best parts of their debut and just builds on it. Phife really comes into his own as an MC

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jul 27 2026

Interesting listen, but not something I think I'd come back to

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jul 28 2026

Eh. Not as strong as Urban Hymns

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 29 2026

A darker/moodier Kid A. Leaves a bit to be desired when compared to the rest of their discography (at least the albums I've listened to so far)

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jul 30 2026

Decent pop album

Harvest by Neil Young
Aug 01 2026

My blood boils every time I get another goddamn Neil young album from this list.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Aug 02 2026

Solid country, just not something i naturally gravitate towards

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Aug 03 2026

I wont turn down a good bongo solo, this album has it in spades.

Vespertine by Björk
Aug 04 2026

Another good Bjork album. I'd put this towards the top of her discography.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Aug 05 2026

Pretty enjoyable rock album

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Aug 07 2026

Pretty good, enjoyed this a bit more than the other Buckley album on this list

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Aug 08 2026

Very solid vocal jazz

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Aug 09 2026

Really good Bob Dylan, never heard this one before now

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Aug 14 2026

Phenomenal album. First disc is a bit more solid than the second

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Aug 17 2026

A quintessential jazz classic. An absolute must-listen

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Aug 18 2026

Maybe I'm Amazed is fantastic, the rest of this does leave a bit to be desired if I'm being honest

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Aug 19 2026

Cool listen, just not sure if Roxy Music is for me

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 20 2026

Not a fan of these guys

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Aug 22 2026

850+ albums into this journey and the singer sounds like every other British new wave singer from the 80s. I think that’s why none of the numerous new wave albums on this list have resonated with me.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Aug 24 2026

Did not care for this all that much

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Aug 26 2026

Not as good as their debut. A bit too arena rocky for me
