Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

Long but very enjoyable - fav song was Sweet Virginia

Synchronicity by The Police
May 09 2024

Had a couple of good songs but overall not great - listen to their earlier stuff imo

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
May 10 2024

Made me feel like I was a 1970s detective on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Too old for this shit. The boss thinks my methods are too drastic but goddamn it if I don't get results.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 11 2024

Very good and simple album with mostly just guitar and singing. Quite short where all the songs are concise and there isn't any filler.

Sincere by Mj Cole
May 12 2024

Liked it a lot more than I thought it would - good vibes

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 22 2024

Is a pretty decent listen but not awfully memorable

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
May 24 2024

Very dark lyrics that made the songs interesting to listen to - not usually a fan of country stuff but this was alright

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
May 25 2024

Great album with a really good atmosphere and backstory

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
May 27 2024

Some nice calm songs that were easy to listen to but I don't think I'd return for another listen tbh

Arrival by ABBA
May 28 2024

Never listened to an abba album but this was good - a lot of their hits and always fun to listen to. Surprisingly good as an album listen as I thought it would just sound like a compilation of singles, but it didn't.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
May 29 2024

Enjoyed quite a lot

Dirt by Alice In Chains
May 30 2024

Good songs but was a bit too long for my liking

May 31 2024

My favourite song was the one where a fast guitar riff was repeated for 3 minutes while the singer made guttural throat noises into the mic

1984 by Van Halen
Jun 01 2024

Good listen overall and not too long! But only a couple of the songs I would revisit

Jun 02 2024

Gotta love the beach boys

Atomizer by Big Black
Jun 05 2024

Not really the biggest fan tbf, was just loud

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jun 06 2024

Pretty good chill songs but not too many that I would revisit

Jun 07 2024

Quite possibly the perfect album

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jun 08 2024

Don't really need to explain why this is 5 stars

In Utero by Nirvana
Jun 09 2024

Liked a lot even for grunge which isn't really my thing

Tago Mago by Can
Jun 12 2024

Would be a 5 if this album ended after 4 tracks

Drunk by Thundercat
Jun 13 2024

Like the vibes but a lot of the songs sound a bit too similar

Street Life by The Crusaders
Jun 14 2024

Loved the songs and it didn't overstay its welcome

White Ladder by David Gray
Jun 17 2024

Sounds like every motorway journey in the early 2000s on an overcast Sunday so gets some nostalgia points

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 19 2024

Album starts off and you think the message is "fuck yeah I'm an American!" But it's actually "fuck... I'm an American..."

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jun 22 2024

A good listen all the way through as the songs are short and all fairly distinct with some real classics like time of the season. 4/5 because it's good but not as great as some other albums from the same time like the kinks or Beatles

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jun 24 2024

Pretty decent 90s rock but nothing amazing

Guero by Beck
Jun 25 2024

Some decent songs but nothing amazing

Leftism by Leftfield
Jun 26 2024

Somehow both retro and futuristic at the same time

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jun 27 2024

Feels wrong to pronounce z as zee but feels worse to call them 'zed zed top' so that's why I gave this album a 3

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jun 29 2024

I like black sabbath and this was a pretty decent listen

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jun 30 2024

Very suspect lyrics but still bangs

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Jul 01 2024

Sounds like a guy who just pulled an all-nighter regretting every decision he's ever made

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 02 2024

Liked some of the songs but a very bloated album

Arise by Sepultura
Jul 03 2024

Singer really needs a throat lozenge

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Jul 04 2024

Sounds like the songs that play during a 90s romcom when they're driving into an American city for the first time

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jul 05 2024

Just finished it but can't say I remember any of it

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 07 2024

Really interesting and unique sound and a good listen

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 08 2024

Not the album filled with their 'hits' but still a really good listen and not really any bad or skippable songs. Plus it doesn't overstay its welcome at all!

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jul 12 2024

Good sampling music - perfect for working or having on in the background but some of the songs have merit on their own and deserve your full attention

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jul 13 2024

Pretty good album but pales compared to their later stuff imo

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jul 14 2024

Crazy that this is his fifteenth album!

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 16 2024

The ambient stuff wasn't bad and gave the album an interesting feel but meant I'll probably not listen to it back to front again

Forever Changes by Love
Jul 17 2024

Liked all the songs so debated between a four and a five but went for four in the end because the songs were more pleasant than amazing

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Jul 18 2024

That was definitely one of the albums of all time

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jul 19 2024

Maybe would resonate with me more if I was also close to death and contemplating my very existence but unfortunately I have many years ahead of me so it was just kind of alright

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jul 22 2024

Love getting albums like this that I would never normally be exposed to

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 23 2024

Should be called 'Music for the Small Portion of the Masses who Enjoy Ambient Operatic Synth Chamber Music'

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Jul 25 2024

From the album art I thought it would be metal so was quite surprised when Damon Albarn started singing but otherwise not really that memorable

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jul 26 2024

The first few songs I thought it was pretty chill but nothing special but then really got into it as it went on

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 27 2024

Probably the Beatles album that fells most like it was made for teenage girls but still good

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jul 29 2024

Just listened to it but can't say I remember much of it other than it was alright

Rio by Duran Duran
Jul 30 2024

Would be 4.5 if I could do half stars

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jul 31 2024

Would probably have rated higher if I hadn't had like 5 Neil young albums recently!

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Aug 01 2024

Quite good but folk rock isn't really my thing

The Doors by The Doors
Aug 02 2024

If I grow my hair maybe I could become Jim Morrison. FAT. UGLY. DEAD.

First half, amazing. Second half, okay.

Movies by Holger Czukay

Aug 05 2024

This is the original version of the Toy Story soundtrack based on the first draft of the script where Woody is a horrific racist and a raging alcoholic

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Aug 07 2024

It's pretty good but does sound very dated

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Aug 08 2024

Some really good rock in here but unfortunately an hour and a half is just way too long

Pretenders by Pretenders
Aug 10 2024

Pretty banging

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Aug 11 2024

More like gang of bore

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Aug 13 2024

I like the vibe and it's very cool and retro but I don't think I'd ever seriously listen to this kind of music

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Aug 14 2024

Pretty decent if you don't go in expecting disco

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 15 2024

Just a bit meh really

McCartney by Paul McCartney

Aug 28 2024

It was fine

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 01 2024

What can I say other than it was a good time

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Sep 04 2024

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Sep 17 2024

Maybe Radiohead's weirdest but still banging

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Sep 18 2024

This album is slightly too long but it's Radiohead so it's hardly anything to complain about

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Sep 19 2024

Randy Newman fucking hates god

Sep 20 2024

Too long and produced by a literal murderer so any good parts of this album are negated

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Sep 22 2024

Hard to rate because I enjoyed it all the way but is more of a background ambient album than one you would actively listen to. Still cool though

Homework by Daft Punk
Sep 29 2024

Only 4 stars because it's not discovery

All these "edgy" 70s and 80s punk albums remind me of that buzz lightyear meme where there's hundreds of him

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 02 2024

Very dated but super influential

Oct 05 2024

Sounds exactly like bristol

21 by Adele
Oct 29 2024

Is very good but does sound a bit too much like heart radio

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Oct 30 2024

There is some major 80s bias on the list because there is no way this is an album you should listen to before you die

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Oct 31 2024

Bob Dylan obsessed with his ex for 1 hour 12 mins

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Nov 01 2024

Far more shit then I remember it being :(

D by White Denim
Nov 21 2024
Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jun 14 2026

Not that terrible but I wish it was all organ blues instead of weird proto rock that sounds like a rob reiner parody

Jun 16 2026

People despise U2 for some reason but idk this just sounds mildly good

Jun 17 2026

Ooh I'm Neil young I have a whiny voice and my lyrics are vaguely poetic everyone loves me shut up man

Jun 18 2026
