3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Apr 27 2024

Very good album. Especially on beautiful day. I all ready knew most of the songs

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 28 2024

It’s a total classic!

The Cars by The Cars
Apr 30 2024

D great way to start the day!!

May 02 2024

Radio has ruined this one a bit because I have heard these tracks thousands of times but the less known tracks were worth it and overall it is a great album

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
May 03 2024

This one was not for me. It’s a strange combination of folk and psychedelic rock that feels like it works musically but the vocals and lyrics did not feel attached to the rhythms for me. It felt more like an experiment then a finished product in my opinion

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
May 04 2024

This was a really fun throwback. Quintessential doo wop album

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
May 05 2024

This one is a classic. Very enjoyable from start to finish

Country Life by Roxy Music
May 06 2024

This one was very good musically but the vocals were a bit theatrical

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
May 09 2024

Very mellow and enjoyable

May 10 2024

I can see the talent but this just didn’t really click with me…

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
May 12 2024

Very good. Classic American sound but still poppy enough to play in any situation

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 14 2024

One of the best of the 90s

Scum by Napalm Death
May 15 2024

I can appreciate the musical talent but the vocals are incomprehensible unfortunately

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 17 2024

I feel like this sounded like a Quentin Tarantino film from the 90s as an album.

Ramones by Ramones
May 18 2024

I understand the significance of this album to pop music as a whole but it felt very repetitive. The same handful of chords and very similar rhythm lines throughout. Not one of my favs on the list so far

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
May 20 2024

This was an unexpectedly awesome album. I thought for sure this had come out 10 years later than it did just because the sound was so modern. I guess they were the genre defining act that everyone tried to emulate tho. Great album

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
May 21 2024

Classic stones!! What a great way to start my week!

Lost Souls by Doves
May 22 2024

Sounds like the inspiration for Coldplay

Berlin by Lou Reed
May 23 2024

Good album. Lou Reed is not really my flavor but he is clearly very talented

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
May 24 2024

Mr. Spaceman is good. It is a pretty trippy album overall

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 25 2024

This was a fun one. I knew some of the songs but the B sides were goood as well

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
May 26 2024

Great party album!! Took me back to the block parties in the early 90s!

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
May 27 2024

Very interesting. I am glad I listened to it but I will probably never hear it again

Blur by Blur
May 29 2024

Classic 90s stuff. I only knew the 1 major single heading into this album but I really liked all the tracks overall

Boston by Boston
May 31 2024

Awesome 70s sound!

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 01 2024

The Bruce is loose!

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jun 02 2024

Great summer road trip album!

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 04 2024

Great album from my youth. I have heard it a thousand times but can listen a thousand more!

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jun 05 2024

I had never heard of this artist but I really enjoyed this album

Jun 06 2024

Great album. One I have heard but it is a good listen so I am not surprised to see it here.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Jun 09 2024

They sound like the inspiration for The Strokes. Good album

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jun 10 2024

I had previously only heard 1 song off this album but I was surprised at how serious the tone actually was. The music sounds like 90s pop/r&b but the lyrics cover a wide range of serious topics

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jun 11 2024

This was a super fun listen! Perfect for the summer in my opinion

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jun 12 2024

The absolute best of Wu-Tang in my opinion!

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 13 2024

This one didn’t do much for me. I can hear the inspiration it has over the 90s pop rock sound though

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 16 2024

A true classic sound with a very modern edge for the time. We lost a unique voice when we lost amy

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jun 17 2024

Classic MJ!

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 18 2024

This is a great 90s rock album!

Night Life by Ray Price
Jun 19 2024

This had a nice sound. Like sad cowboy blues but a polished 60s vibe. I enjoyed it but do not know it it will be added to my rotation

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jun 20 2024

Very clear inspiration for bands like Type O Negative. I like the edgy, early industrial stuff though

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Jun 21 2024

Ok- this one was some kind of crazy, German musical theater soundtrack or something. The music sounded like it was the inspiration for the final fantasy video game soundtracks which was pretty cool though

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jun 22 2024

This one was really awesome. An artist I was not familiar with, but an album I will listen to again for sure.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jun 24 2024

Classic. Great album all around

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jun 25 2024

This is like hard core elevator music. Imagine an elevator by a pool at a tropical resort. This album is playing

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 26 2024

Classic. This is a great one to experience again

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jun 27 2024

Very nice and relax My r&b album

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jun 28 2024

This was a nice surprise. They have a very mixed/classic 70s sound with a modern edge. The comfortably numb cover has a disco vibe but the vocal melody felt off

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jun 30 2024

Great guitar rock album!

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jul 01 2024

Had a lighter David Bowie vibe to me

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jul 02 2024

Pretty good. Not really my cuppa but I didn’t hate it

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jul 04 2024

I can see why it’s in the list but it’s not for me

Jul 06 2024

The perfect album for my day today. Even though these are all covers, johnny cash recording these tracks in the twilight of his life and presenting them in this order is true art.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jul 07 2024

Interesting new wave sound but I don’t love the quality of the vocals unfortunately. I found them more distracting than engaging

Disintegration by The Cure
Jul 09 2024

This was a good album. I have only heard their radio songs before this so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed their other work

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Jul 10 2024

Pretty I retesting overall. Kind of feels like the gorillas with a lot less lyrics

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 11 2024

Really great album. She has such a range of emotion in her voice that pairs so perfectly with the music and the poetry of her lyrics that is unlike any other artist

Leftism by Leftfield
Jul 12 2024

Not bad for house misoc

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jul 13 2024

Great album by a great artist. I had never heard this one but I did enjoy it very much

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jul 14 2024

This was awesome actually. Never heard of him but thoroughly enjoyed it!

Jul 15 2024

Another classic 90s album. Oasis was not my favorite back then but they have grown on me. This was a good album

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jul 16 2024

Love the disco staple sister sledge!

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Jul 19 2024

This was good even though I did not understand most of it lol

Jul 22 2024

Nice

Classic 90s rock. These guys are one of the best

So by Peter Gabriel
Aug 04 2024

This one is a true classic!

Metallica by Metallica
Aug 09 2024

This is their peak in my opinion. Still hard enough to sound like their early albums but far more accessible

The Score by Fugees
Aug 12 2024

90s hip hop at its best

Aug 15 2024

This was a cool surprise. It’s the reason I took on this project. This album was a great mix of disco and a bowie sound. Very fun

Picture Book by Simply Red
Aug 16 2024

Good but not for me

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Aug 18 2024

My instinct is to say generic indie rock but I know it’s actually definitive indie rosck so there you have it.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Aug 20 2024

Absolute classic and this live album is one of their best ever performances

Aug 21 2024

It had a pretty good vibe. I don’t know that I will ever listen again or recognize it if it comes on tho

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Aug 24 2024

Meh- I had a hard time getting through this one for some reason

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Aug 25 2024

Great classic rock band that are just not as famous as other major acts but are just as talented

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Aug 26 2024

Meh- I had a hard time getting through this one for some reason

Aug 28 2024

This classic brought me back

Sep 05 2024

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Sep 06 2024

This one was a lot of fun and I had no idea who this band was

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Sep 07 2024

One of the top albums of that decade for sure

Sep 09 2024

Quiet Life by Japan
Sep 12 2024

This one was a lot of fun and I had no idea who this artist was

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison

2112 by Rush
Sep 21 2024

Very fun album.

Ingenue by k.d. lang

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Oct 10 2024

This was a good one. Never heard of these guys but I enjoyed this album

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Oct 11 2024

Classic hip hop from a time when finding poetry in the genre was not easy. Price Paul’s beats are also so iconic and distinct that they instantly transport you back to the 90s

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 15 2024

Good. I had never listened to them but I can see why people like it

Phrenology by The Roots
Oct 18 2024

Nov 11 2024

Nov 16 2024

Nov 18 2024

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Dec 31 2024

Great album from start to finish. This one had a clear impact on the genre

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Jan 03 2025

A definitive album for the genre at that time. The hots are well known but the rest of the album felt like filler

Jan 08 2025

I enjoyed it but it was not for me

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jan 09 2025

I enjoyed it but it was not for me

A lot of hits that I knew on this one

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 21 2025

It was good but not one I will go back to I think

Jan 22 2025

It was good but not one I will go back to I think

Feb 01 2025

Very interesting. Not sure I will listen again but it expanded on what I had all ready known of this artist and I am glad to have heard it at least this one time

Blackstar by David Bowie
Feb 08 2025

The best

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 19 2025

One of the best albums by one of the best bands to ever do it

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Feb 21 2025

Like Pink Floyd with Paul Simon or the Dire Straits - very good listen

Sulk by The Associates
Feb 24 2025

If I had to shoot a Halloween movie entirely within a party city- this would be the perfect album for that

Gold by Ryan Adams
Mar 02 2025

Not for me

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott

One of the originals and likely a huge impact on his genre but not my taste.

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 11 2025

Defined an era

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Mar 14 2025

Moving Pictures by Rush
Mar 17 2025

Not my fav group but undeniably talented

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Mar 19 2025

A lot of 90s acts tried to pull off this sound without doing as good of a job

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Mar 20 2025

Somewhere between the smiths and emo you will find this album.

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 22 2025

Probably the best at what they do

Mar 23 2025

One of his best but not my personal fav

Apr 01 2025

Way better than I thought. It might be the definitive sample and drum beat hip hop of the 90s

Sincere by Mj Cole
Apr 02 2025

I was expecting something else. Not really my cuppa

D by White Denim
Apr 04 2025

Really good classic rock vibes

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Apr 10 2025

I was expecting something else. Not really my cuppa

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Apr 16 2025

The modern beyoncé sound. I am not a fan but I can recognize why some people would like it

Apr 19 2025

Very good classic rock album

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Apr 21 2025

One of the best!!

Out of Step by Minor Threat
