Popular Reviews

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz

I don't know much about jazz music but I do know that this is the exact kind that I like.

Manassas by Stephen Stills

I didn't necessary dislike it, but it was a little boring.

Hms Fable by Shack

Nah, not for me. Maybe I'm just grumpy because my last 6 albums have been duds, but this was not good.

One of my all time favorite albums. It's an album that explores complex themes like mental illness, mortality, and human existence. The seamless transitions between tracks, enhanced by the band's use of synthesizers, sound effects, and philosophical lyrics, create a rich, atmospheric soundscape. Songs like "Time," "Money," and "Us and Them" showcase the band's lyrical depth and musical experimentation. It's both introspective and universally relatable, with Roger Waters' poignant lyrics and David Gilmour's soaring guitar work standing out. A timeless classic, the album remains a pinnacle of progressive rock and a cultural landmark.

High Violet by The National

Maybe you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy this. I just found out very depressing and not especially interesting.

1-Star Albums (73)

All Ratings (569)

Aja by Steely Dan
May 06 2024

Really enjoyed this album, it was so groovy and smooth. The melodic and harmonic complexity is incredible. Standouts for me are Peg and I Got The News.

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

It's like background music you can't help but pay attention to. It makes good background while working from home. I found that the more I listened to it, the more I enjoyed it. Every track is so different, it's hard to pick a favorite.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
May 08 2024

Kind of your standard indie rock album. I enjoyed listening to most of it. High points for me were Take Me Out, Matinée and This Fire.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
May 09 2024

Decent album. Really liked Morrissey's vocals and some of the bass work was great.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
May 10 2024

Front to back just a great 90s rock album, I loved it. The Day I Tried To Live is my favorite by far. RIP Chris Cornell.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
May 13 2024

You obviously can't deny the talent. The fact that this is his 18th album is pretty unbelievable. Having said that, while I enjoyed some of it, most of it just wasn't for me. Favorite tracks, Sir Duke and Isn't She Lovely.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
May 14 2024

Albums like this make me regret any other 5s I've given. Led Zeppelin is just on another level. All killer, no filler.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
May 15 2024

Pure 90s dnb. Plug this straight into my veins. It somehow feels nostalgic even though it's brand new to me. A little unexpected to have a compilation album in this, but in the end I don't care because it's right up my alley.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
May 16 2024

Love the vibes of this album, it creates such a dreamlike atmosphere. It feels very 80s. I have no idea what they're saying most of the time, but it sounds cool regardless.

Rocks by Aerosmith
May 17 2024

It's one of those albums where I feel like I should like it, but I didn't. This album just didn't do it for me.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 20 2024

Great album, it was very different from the only other album of theirs that I know, Rumours. Standout tracks for me were Think About Me and Angel.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
May 21 2024

It's never heard of Nick Drake before this album came up. I enjoyed it, very chill and minimal. Just a man and his guitar.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 22 2024

Pretty good album. I don't know if it's one I will return to, but I enjoyed listening to most of it. I like it more than Songs In The Key Of Life. In a weird way, I wish I liked Stevie Wonder's music more than I do.

Sulk by The Associates
May 24 2024

Very 80s, synthy and whiny. I think I like it... Time will tell if I like it enough to listen to it again in the future (I probably won't).

Transformer by Lou Reed
May 27 2024

I like it, but I can't tell if this album is really cool, or incredibly boring. I think it's his voice.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
May 28 2024

Great voice, sort of a mellow folky style of music, but in the end just not really for me. I would give it a 2.5 if I could.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
May 29 2024

This album is so unhinged and I'm fully on board. It's so weird, experimental and full of nonsense.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
May 30 2024

I've never listened to big band music before, but I will be going forward. This was a really fun album.

May 31 2024

Pretty fun, it feels ahead of it's time. This is what all live albums should aim for, I love the energy.

Marquee Moon by Television
Jun 03 2024

Kind of meh on my first playthrough. After a second listen, I really started to enjoy it. It really doesn't sound like a 70s album, more late 90s/early 00s.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 04 2024

A classic 90s alt rock album. Favorites were Today, Quiet and Disarm.

Electric by The Cult
Jun 05 2024

Pretty good British pub rock album. Doesn't take itself too seriously.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jun 06 2024

This was pretty meh, I can't say I'm a fan of this Bowie era.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jun 10 2024

Not my thing at all, it all sounds the same. Boring and generic sounding.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jun 11 2024

Stone cold classic hip-hop album. Feels way ahead of it's time.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jun 12 2024

Strong opening track, the rest is kinda blah.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jun 13 2024

Really good album from beginning to end. Just a great 70s rock album.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jun 14 2024

It's ok. I'm not much of a country music lover, but if I had to listen to it, this is the kind I'd go for. I'd give it 2.5 if I could.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jun 17 2024

Never considered myself much of a blues fan, bit this was a great album. Really liked the crowd sounds/interaction.

Ramones by Ramones
Jun 18 2024

It kind of all sounds the same, but I don't really care. Great album.

Jun 19 2024

I enjoyed this, though I've never seen the movie. Gives chill and mysterious vibes.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jun 21 2024

Didn't necessarily dislike it, but not something I see myself coming back to.

Green by R.E.M.
Jun 24 2024

Really enjoyed this album. Obvious standouts are Stand and Orange Crush.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 25 2024

Pretty good album. I think I get the whole Taylor Swift thing. I probably wouldn't revisit it, it's just not really for me.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jun 26 2024

Really good album, I'll definitely be checking out more of his stuff.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Jun 27 2024

Could've listened to another 8 minutes of Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jun 28 2024

I enjoyed this album. Feels VERY 90s. The title track is easily the best on the album.

Jul 01 2024

I've always enjoyed REM when I've heard them but until recently hadn't listened to any of their albums back to front. So far I've heard this one and Green. I prefer this one without question. Definitely gonna save this one to revisit later.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jul 02 2024

I can definitely see why this wouldn't be for everyone. It can have a very depressing feeling to it. This is probably why I listened to it most as a teenager and young adult. I still really enjoy it, but don't find myself going back to it much.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 03 2024

I usually really enjoy 80s synthy, brooding stuff, but this one just didn't quite hit the mark. Not terrible though.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jul 04 2024

I wouldn't say this is a bad album necessarily, but it's nothing special, not entirely sure why it's on this list.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jul 05 2024

I can see why people like Taylor Swift but it's just not for me at all.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jul 08 2024

Really enjoyed this one. Fun and upbeat. The 2 singles are stellar.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jul 09 2024

Really enjoyed this one. It's so 70s. I enjoyed every second of it.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 10 2024

Meh, it's ok It kinda feels like blues for people who don't like blues music; pop blues.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jul 11 2024

Enjoyed this one more than expected. Love the synths and sax solos. It feels weirdly familiar and comfortable.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jul 12 2024

I enjoyed the first half more than the second. Overall pretty enjoyable.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jul 15 2024

I'm shamelessly copying this review from somebody else because they just put it so well. The album sustains an atmosphere that is gloomy, yet thoroughly gorgeous. It somehow manages to feel both claustrophobic and seductive. Really remarkable album.

Jul 16 2024

I definitely enjoyed Speakerboxxx more. I kinda wish they'd been released separately.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jul 17 2024

I don't really know if I liked this or not. The songs were so short I couldn't really get into them, but overall I liked their sound.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jul 18 2024

I went in with no expectations and was still let down. This is bad, just straight up boring.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 19 2024

A little odd to have a compilation album on this list, but I didn't really care in the end. This was such a joy to listen to.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jul 22 2024

I've always found that my favorite Zeppelin album is the one I'm currently listening to/listened to most recently.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jul 24 2024

Good album, but I can't help but feel like it would have been better with fewer features.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 25 2024

This album rocks. Lived the instrumentals and the general vibe of the album.

High Violet by The National
Jul 26 2024

Maybe you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy this. I just found out very depressing and not especially interesting.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jul 29 2024

Really enjoyed this one, verging on a 5, but it didn't really blow me away. A solid 80s rock album.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 30 2024

Not for me. It's like rock for people who don't like rock. I only gave it a 2 because Born to Run is a great song.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jul 31 2024

It was alright. I liked their sound. Our House is the obvious highlight.

Arular by M.I.A.
Aug 01 2024

It's kind of all over the place, very chaotic. The production is pretty unique. I can't see myself listening to this ever again, so I guess I didn't really care for it.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Aug 02 2024

I love it, such a vibe. Maybe not an everyday listen, but under the right circumstances... Favorite track is Ketchy Shuby.

Be by Common
Aug 05 2024

A masterful blend of soulful production and introspective lyricism, showcasing the rapper at his best. Kanye absolutely nailed the production; rich, soulful samples that perfectly compliment Common's verses.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Aug 06 2024

Not my favorite Zeppelin album but still great. The first half is definitely stronger.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Aug 08 2024

This was weird. It's both hard and not hard to believe this was made in the 60s. I ended up feeling confused after listening to it, maybe that's the point? I have no idea, but I dig it...I think

Synchronicity by The Police
Aug 09 2024

I've never been a huge Police fan. I like their hits but the rest are kinda meh.

Metallica by Metallica
Aug 12 2024

I'm not really a Metallica fan, but I enjoyed this album. The singles are the standout tracks, I also enjoyed Sad but True.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Aug 14 2024

I'd been meaning to listen to this for a while and completely forgot about it. I'm in to it.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Aug 16 2024

Easy listing, but just not for me.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Aug 20 2024

Great rock album. Starting feeling a little repetitive/samey after a while but I still enjoyed it.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Aug 21 2024

This is such a strange album. It sounds like complete nonsense most of the time. I think I'd need to take A LOT of drugs to enjoy this. I didn't completely hate it but I can't imagine a scenario which I would listen to it again.

Wild Gift by X
Aug 22 2024

I'd never heard of X until now. Nothing spectacular but pretty enjoyable.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Aug 23 2024

Another group I'd never heard of before. Nothing super standout, but overall very enjoyable, great background music.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Aug 26 2024

The singles are excellent, the rest are kinda meh.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Aug 27 2024

Absolute loved every second of this. I want to live in this album. Helplessly Hoping is such a beautiful song.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Aug 28 2024

This was good. Not necessarily good enough for me to seek out more of their work though.

Smash by The Offspring
Aug 30 2024

I'm kinda conflicted on this one, I enjoyed it and really loved the energy but I just don't see myself listening to it again. I think I enjoyed the nostalgia it gave me more than the actual music.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 02 2024

Really loved this album all the way through. It somehow makes me feel nostalgic even though I wasn't born for nearly 20 years after this came out. It just feels familiar and comfortable.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Sep 03 2024

I felt like I was chilling on a secluded beach in Cuba. I don't know how often I'll come back to the album but I've saved it.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Sep 04 2024

Beautiful voice. At points it feels quite emotionally charged and at others, feels pretty peaceful and contemplative. The album was a little long for my liking.

Low-Life by New Order
Sep 05 2024

Questionable vocals and simple lyrics, often mundane subject matter, great production.

Faust IV by Faust
Sep 06 2024

So, krautrock is kinda weird, but I kinda liked it. My favorite track was Jennifer.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 09 2024

One of those rare perfect albums. I wish there was a rating above 5.

Fragile by Yes
Sep 10 2024

The album kinda sucks you in, starting with an amazing track in Roundabout. The rest doesn't quite hit the same and sometimes feels a little experimental. I still really enjoyed it, but they kind show their entire hand in the first track.

Sep 11 2024

The only Blur song I had heard prior to this was Song 2. I went into this album not expecting a whole lot and was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed it. Overall, a solid 90s Brit-pop-rock album. My favorite track was Miss America.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Sep 12 2024

Boring and generic, no real substance.

Sep 13 2024

For some inexplicable reason I really wanted to like this but I just didn't. Very boring, must be an acquired taste.

Sep 17 2024

One of my all time favorite albums. It's an album that explores complex themes like mental illness, mortality, and human existence. The seamless transitions between tracks, enhanced by the band's use of synthesizers, sound effects, and philosophical lyrics, create a rich, atmospheric soundscape. Songs like "Time," "Money," and "Us and Them" showcase the band's lyrical depth and musical experimentation. It's both introspective and universally relatable, with Roger Waters' poignant lyrics and David Gilmour's soaring guitar work standing out. A timeless classic, the album remains a pinnacle of progressive rock and a cultural landmark.

Suede by Suede
Sep 18 2024

This was ok. I didn't love it nor did I hate it. Pretty easy listening for the most part.

Sep 19 2024

I thought the album was....ok. It was all downhill after the first track.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Sep 20 2024

Really loved this. Hearing the originals of so many songs I recognize was really cool.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 23 2024

Kinda feels like a cross between Pink Floyd and Queen. I really enjoyed it. My only criticism is that it's a little too long.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Sep 24 2024

I liked it, but I really can't see myself listening to it outside of this.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 25 2024

One of the greatest "modern" rap albums. It's a powerful narrative album that blends personal stories with social commentary.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Sep 26 2024

Every song sounds like the last. Not bad per se, but doesn't really belong on this list.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Sep 27 2024

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's ok I guess.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Sep 30 2024

It's ok, kinda samey all the way through

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Oct 01 2024

I really enjoyed this album. I'd never heard of Harry Nilsson, but I definitely recognized a few of the songs.

Oct 02 2024

I didn't love it, but I also didn't hate it as much as some people. I get that he sounds the same and kinda whiney throughout, but I still kinda dug it.

Oct 03 2024

Some pretty questionable lyrics, but it hits the nostalgia chord so 2 stars it is.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Oct 04 2024

Wow, this is so bad. Couldn't get through the whole thing.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Oct 07 2024

Really enjoyed this. From the big band sounds to Ray Charles' incredible voice. So good

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Oct 08 2024

Very over the top and cheesy, in a good way. I got a little tired of it by the end, but overall I enjoyed it.

D by White Denim
Oct 09 2024

Wow, this was really good. Vibes for days. I can't wait to dig in to their other albums.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Oct 10 2024

Wow, this was flippin awesome. I knew some of Prince's hits but never listened to a full album. I'm left wondering what I've been doing with my life.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Oct 11 2024

I still remember hearing Breathe for the first time as a naive 10yr old thanks to Big Shiny Tunes 2. It blew my mind. I wish I could say I've been a die hard Prodigy fan ever since but I never really followed up after being consumed by that track. Mostly due to difficulty accessing and buying music at that age. This album goes so hard and will definitely be added to the rotation.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 14 2024

Pretty mellow album, but I just don't ever find myself in the mood to listen to reggae music. Enjoyable overall but not an everyday listen for me.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Oct 17 2024

Really love the blend of blues and psychedelic rock. This is right up my alley.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 18 2024

For some reason I had it in my head that I liked Elvis Costello. This album was a reality check. I did not like this album. You know how some people have a really punchable face? That's how I feel about his voice.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Oct 21 2024

If I separate the man from the music, the album is ok. A little self-indulgent at times. Layla is the obvious standout. Eric Clapton is kind of a piece of shit.

Arrival by ABBA
Oct 22 2024

A true pop masterpiece. Just what the doctor ordered for a Monday morning.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Oct 23 2024

I liked it, but I'm a sucker for 80s new wave.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Oct 24 2024

I didn't necessary dislike it, but it was a little boring.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Oct 25 2024

I don't know much about jazz music but I do know that this is the exact kind that I like.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 28 2024

It's messy, exciting and a little spooky. She has such a great voice. Female lead rock bands rule, I just wish there were more on this list.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Oct 29 2024

Wow, what an album. Easily one of the best live albums I've ever heard. I love all the crowd noise and Johnny's banter with them.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Oct 30 2024

I think up until now I've only really heard their newer stuff, so this didn't sound how I expected it to. Having said that I still enjoyed it.

Imagine by John Lennon
Oct 31 2024

Meh, this was ok. A couple good songs but the rest just had me wishing I was listening to The Beatles.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Nov 01 2024

It was an ok album, I didn't find it to be anything really special. To my untrained ear, it just sounded like The White Stripes.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Nov 04 2024

Really liked this. Not my favorite album of his, but still really good. Favorite track was Cracked Actor, loved the opening chord.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Nov 05 2024

Yes! More if this please. Loved every second of it, 90s grunge fucking rocks.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Nov 06 2024

This album is strange, but in a good way. Where is my mind is probably the most "normal" song, the rest are pretty unhinged at times.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Nov 07 2024

Too much harmonica. Maybe it would be better on speakers instead of earbuds.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Nov 08 2024

2 Dylan albums is a bit much, as it turns out there is such a thing as too much Dylan. Having said that, I enjoyed this album more than Blonde On Blonde, but not by much. Bob Dylan is better in small doses, one song at a time; listening to an entire album is tiring.

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

Such a fun album. You can tell they had fun making this one. I love the comparison of this album to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Best hip-hop album in this list so far.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Nov 12 2024

Wild Is the Wind by Nina Simone is raw, soulful, and haunting. Her voice draws you in, making each song feel deeply personal and unforgettable.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Nov 13 2024

It's different from her usual stuff, with a vibe that's kind of reflective. I prefer her earlier work. Not necessarily a factor in my review or rating, but Ray of Light made me nostalgic for Windows XP.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Nov 14 2024

A heavy metal classic with iconic riffs, intense vocals, and a few memorable tracks. Not really the kind of music I see myself listening to on any regular basis.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Nov 15 2024

At first, All Things Must Pass feels a bit intimidating with a length of 2hrs, but once I settled in, it was a ride I didn't want to end. The mellow, introspective vibe flows through each track, revealing layers of George Harrison’s creativity and depth. It's a beautifully immersive experience, and by the end, I was left wanting even more of that soulful, meditative sound.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Nov 18 2024

The album has its moments, but it doesn’t quite live up to its iconic reputation. While "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin’" are undeniably catchy, much of the album feels repetitive and lacks the same spark. It’s fine as a piece of 60s nostalgia, but it doesn’t hold up as a must-listen today.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Nov 19 2024

Wow, I don't even know what to say. I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Great album.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Nov 20 2024

It was pretty good. Feels more like poetry with a musical backing... Which I guess can be said about a lot of music ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I found it strangely hypnotic at times.

Infected by The The
Nov 21 2024

It was ok....Not great but not terrible.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Nov 22 2024

This is weird wild stuff, I kinda dig it. It somehow feels before and ahead of its time.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Nov 25 2024

This album goes so hard. I remember blasting this in my room as an angsty teen. RIP Chester.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Nov 26 2024

This list has taught me that I like Nick Drake. Super chill, mellow easy listening.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Nov 27 2024

I really enjoyed this. I know next to nothing about jazz but this was great. Initially I was intimidated with in being 38 minutes with only 2 tracks, but it flew by and I enjoyed every second if it.

White Light by Gene Clark
Nov 28 2024

Dollar store Bob Dylan. Not necessarily bad, just kinda boring.

21 by Adele
Nov 29 2024

Her voice is undeniably amazing. It's also really impressive to come out with an album like this at such a young age. With that said, this kind of music just isn't for me.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 02 2024

This album was ok, didn't really blow me away, but I guess I kind of enjoyed it.

Moon Safari by Air
Dec 03 2024

It created a pretty chill/dreamy atmosphere but felt a little repetitive at times. Decent background music but not an everyday listen for me.

American Pie by Don McLean
Dec 04 2024

It was alright. America Pie is kinda played out but I appreciate the lightning in a bottle he captured with it. The rest of the album is decent, he has a wonderful voice and the composition is pretty good throughout.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Dec 05 2024

Unlike any of the albums I've had so far on this list. I didn't totally vibe with it but I think it might have just been my mood. I'll be adding it to my list to check out again in the future.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Dec 06 2024

Really enjoyed this, it felt pretty Bowie-esque at times.

Dec 09 2024

Coldplay feels like the British Nickelback. People hate on them for no real reason other than it's the fun/funny thing to do. I enjoyed most of this album, the singles are undeniably catchy.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 10 2024

A funky, uplifting album with great songs like "Everyday People." It’s a classic.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Dec 11 2024

I like the vibe, but the vocals are just too shriek-y.

Cross by Justice
Dec 13 2024

Sooooo good. I recognized a bunch of the songs but could not have time you who they were by. Easy 5.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Dec 16 2024

Not my favorite Radiohead album, but still really good. Favorite track is by far Pyramid Song.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 17 2024

I've come to realize that David Bowie is really hit and miss for me. This album is a definite hit. My favorite track was Girl Loves Me.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Dec 18 2024

I just can't see past how bad of a person he is. While his music might sound alright, he somehow hates the people he ripped it off from. He's also anti-vax which is the nail in the coffin for me. Byeeeee

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Dec 19 2024

Wow, this was a gem. Never heard of them but Janis Joplin sounds great.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Dec 20 2024

Loved this. Sample heavy, funky, witty lyrics. What's not to love?

2112 by Rush
Dec 23 2024

I've always enjoyed their hits but never listened to a full album. I enjoyed this quite a bit; I can wait to start going through their back catalogue.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Dec 24 2024

Tom Petty is one of those people who's hits I was familiar with but had never listened to an album front to back. This one was pretty good, nothing spectacular. The last track is the standout.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Dec 27 2024

I really enjoyed this, definitely has a Mumford and Sons/issue movie feel to it. A feel good easy listening album. I feel like it would make a decent road trip album.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Dec 30 2024

Love it, this list has shown me I'm a Steely Dan fan. So groovy.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Dec 31 2024

Such a legendary album, loved the whole thing. L'America was weird but I dig it.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jan 01 2025

It's impossible not to hear the Bowie influence. Decent glam rock album with (in my opinion) poor pacing.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jan 02 2025

This is a weird album... Why in the world is it on this list? Definitely gives of Rocky Horror vibes.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Jan 03 2025

This album grew on me. Weird at first but started vibe with it after a few tracks. I had only every heard some of his newer stuff so it's cool to see where he started.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 06 2025

I wish I had something more profound or insightful to say about the lyrics or subject matter. In the end I just really enjoy listening to it; really good vibes for a Friday afternoon.

Jan 08 2025

Never heard of these guys, but their name sounded fun. I really enjoyed this album, has a pretty unique sound. Definitely one I'll be saving for the future. Favorite songs were Remember Me and Not A Lot To Do.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jan 09 2025

I didn't even make it through the whole album, this was pretty bad. Lead vocals were terrible.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jan 10 2025

Omg, we get it, your really good at playing your instruments. I'm sure it's be great live but it just drags on in an album. The music was fine but the endless solos were kind of annoying.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jan 13 2025

First time listening to Black Sabbath, no idea why I'd never listen to them. Loved it, easy 5.

The Doors by The Doors
Jan 14 2025

Couldn't believe it when I learned this is they're debut album. Great album front to back.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jan 15 2025

Wow, I really enjoyed this. So funky and full of soul.

Jan 16 2025

Let's be honest, he was not a good person, for that reason, I don't agree with the way he is idolized by so many. I'm admittedly biased as I grew up on 90s hiphop, so there's a major nostalgia factor in play. I love this album and appreciate the social commentary in his lyrics, notably in So Many Years, Lord Knows and Dear Mama. Old School is such a great track as well.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jan 17 2025

I mean...C'mon, it's Zeppelin.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jan 20 2025

First song aside, this album is pretty meh. Just feels kinda boring/generic.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 21 2025

Went into this thinking I was a Jimi Hendrix fan only to realize I'm really just a fan of his hits. None of his other tracks are necessarily bad, they're just kinda meh.

Jan 22 2025

Wow this fucking rocks. I wish I could have seen it live. The recording quality leaves something to be desired. Great live album.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jan 23 2025

Not my favorite album of theirs but still an easy 5.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jan 24 2025

It sounded alright, but not something I see myself going back to.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jan 27 2025

Very spooky and moody. It was ok, but I think I'd have to be in a specific mood to listen to it again.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 28 2025

I guess I can see why certain people would like this...but I am not one of those people. It just sounds very generic and boring.

Tago Mago by Can
Jan 30 2025

I was vibing with it for a while, then it got really weird. Very psychedelic. Another one of those where if I were in a certain mind set I'm sure I'd love it.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jan 31 2025

This was weird, but it's a type of weird that I really vibe with. Having said that I don't know how often I'll listen to it again.

25 by Adele
Feb 03 2025

I appreciate that she has a great voice, I just don't really care for her music.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Feb 04 2025

I really enjoyed this album. When it came up I wasn't really in the mood but forced myself to listen anyway. No regrets.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Feb 05 2025

Easy 5. Yes, Puffy's contributions are annoying and unnecessary but if you look past those, this is easily one if the greatest rap albums of all time.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Feb 06 2025

This was ok, pretty mellow but nothing special.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Feb 07 2025

I had never heard of them before so I didn't know what to expect. I ended up really enjoying a lot about this album; the messages, the jazzy production and Franti's half-spoken vocal style. It really had me thinking about how a lot of the problems they rap about are unfortunately still very pertinent and relevant today. The Dead Kennedys cover was also pretty unexpected.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 10 2025

I've never been a huge fan of Foo Fighters outside of their hits that I saw the music videos for on Much Music. Considering the recent Dave Grohl events I don't see myself becoming a fan or supporting them. This album is good though, especially when you consider Grohl did it almost completely on his own...kinda wild.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Feb 11 2025

It's ok. Mostly agreeable, easy listening. Just kinda plain. I'll admit, it grew on me the longer I listened to it....then I got bored again.

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 12 2025

I've never listened to a Pixies album before, but I enjoyed this. I kinda liked how short each song was.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Feb 13 2025

So groovy, I enjoyed this more than expected. Build the Bridge and What is Love? Were two of my favorites. Parts of Build the Bridge reminded me of Streets of Rage 2 level music.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 14 2025

Decent indie album. I enjoyed it but I don't think I'll listen to it again.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Feb 17 2025

A good album that did not age very well.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Feb 18 2025

This is what I think is when somebody says hip-hop. Just an incredible album that oozes with coolness Really love the jazzy vibes.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Feb 19 2025

Great album, really enjoyable listen.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 20 2025

This is such a great album from front to back. Easily in my top 10 albums of all time.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Feb 21 2025

Enjoyed this one. Definitely not my favorite album of theirs, but still really good.

Feb 24 2025

In his current mental health system, he's a terrible human being, I really hope he can get the help he needs. This album is objectively amazing and it's sad he's fallen so hard since.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Feb 25 2025

Great voice, but this album just didn't do it for me. Got bored half way though and stopped listening.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Feb 26 2025

No thank you.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Feb 27 2025

I'm surprised this album is rated so poorly on here. I usually dislike country but this was excellent. Her voice is so soothing.

Who's Next by The Who
Feb 28 2025

Excellent album. I don't really know what else to say.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 03 2025

It's was good, not great...maybe I just wasn't in the mood for blues.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 04 2025

Yes! This is exactly what I want when listening to Bowie. This album is perfect.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Mar 05 2025

This is just the energy I needed today, loved it.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Mar 06 2025

Love it. I can't get enough of the dark, kind of depressing 80s/early 90s synth pop. The vocals are haunting at times.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Mar 07 2025

While I didn't really jive with it, it's incredible this was made in the 70s.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Mar 10 2025

Definitely hasn't aged well, but when this first came out I was too young to really pay attention to what the lyrics were actually saying. I just sang the words, thinking it was cool that there was a good while rapper. I like it for the nostalgia though.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 11 2025

It's a classic for a reason. It felt a little long in my opinion, but I also don't know where I'd trim anything off.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Mar 12 2025

It was ok... Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it. I didn't find it partially memorable.

Mar 13 2025

Really enjoyed this album. It's never heard of them before now. The perfect blend of psychedelic rock, folk and country.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Mar 14 2025

This one grew on me. I really didn't care for it at first but the more I listened, the more I enjoyed it. Parts of it kinda feel like if the Beach Boys were slightly psychedelic.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 18 2025

The entire album just oozes with grooviness. I found myself dancing at my desk while listening to it on multiple occasions.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Mar 19 2025

This was bad, I made it half way and gave up.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 20 2025

This album rules. I have no notes.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Mar 21 2025

Meh. Not bad, just boring.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Mar 24 2025

Wow, this was so friggin cool, and what a wild story. Loved this.

Mar 26 2025

Really beautiful, kind of haunting at times but perfect background noise while at my desk.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 27 2025

Wow, the story behind this is kind of wild. The music is incredible as well. This isn't the type of music I typically seek out so there's a good chance I would have never heard it, but this is exactly the kind of stuff I love finding in this list.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 31 2025

I'm a fan of Beastie Boys but an entire album at once is a lot. The production is excellent and their lyrics are pretty fun and clever. Overall enjoyable but, better in small doses.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Apr 01 2025

I had no expectations on this one. I'd never heard of Sujan before. I enjoyed it. It's probably not something I'll listen to again, but I love learning about new music so I appreciated it coming up in this list.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Apr 02 2025

Wow, this was bad. Is this even singing? He sounded like he was bored out of his mind while reading the lyrics from a sheet of paper.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Apr 04 2025

I recognized the music from being sampled so often, but as an album it just didn't work for me.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 07 2025

This wasn't my favorite but overall it was a pleasant listen. Heads Will Roll was the stand out for me.

Queen II by Queen
Apr 08 2025

First time ever listening to this album. I'm not too familiar with them other than their hits, but I really enjoyed this.

Apr 09 2025

Meh. I didn't mind it at first, but 3 tracks in and I'm over it. This definitely has a place and time, but here and now is not it.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Apr 10 2025

This was great. I don't know if it's an everyday listen for me but I really enjoyed it.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Apr 11 2025

I didn't hate it, but it didn't really do much for me.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Apr 14 2025

I enjoyed this more than expected. It ended up putting me on a really contemplative mood. I don't know how often I'll revisit it, but I'm glad I listened to it.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Apr 15 2025

I liked it, but started to feel kinda same-y part way through.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Apr 16 2025

This was... interesting. I kind of enjoyed it but it was a little unhinged. I'm glad I listened to it, but it won't be making it into my library.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Apr 17 2025

There were parts I really enjoyed and others that I found very grating.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Apr 18 2025

Not my favorite but really enjoyed parts of it.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 21 2025

Wow..I don't really know what to say. This is definitely one of those albums that I would have never discovered if not for this list. What a gem.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Apr 22 2025

Great album, it felt like a warm blanket.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 23 2025

Not my favorite CCR album, but still great.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Apr 24 2025

This was weird, silly and fun. I need more of this in my life.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Apr 25 2025

I really didn't care for this. I got bored halfway through the first song.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Apr 29 2025

This was soooo good. I regrettably never listened to them growing up, but I'm glad I was reminded of them as an adult.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Apr 30 2025

Didn't really care for this. It wasn't especially bad, just kinda meh.

Teen Dream by Beach House
May 01 2025

Meh, it's ok I guess.

Eagles by Eagles
May 02 2025

The singles from this album are great, the rest are kinda meh.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
May 05 2025

So funky and groovy. Loved it.

1984 by Van Halen
May 06 2025

For me Van Halen is another one of those groups where I recognize a lot of their hits but wouldn't be able to tell you who the band was. I wouldn't change the radio station if they came on, but it's not something I listen to intentionally.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
May 07 2025

I don't ever really listen to blues but this may change that. This album was excellent.

Back In Black by AC/DC
May 08 2025

It's good, not really my everyday kind of music but I don't mind hearing it on the radio.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
May 09 2025

Dreadfully boring.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
May 12 2025

I really enjoyed it...I don't think it's something I'll listen to everyday, but definitely saving it. The drumming is some of the best I can remember hearing. I've learned that I'm very particular with the jazz I enjoy listening to on any kind of regular basis.

May 13 2025

Love me some Fatboy Slim. Repetitive, yes, but also super fun. I enjoyed every minute of it. Easy 5.

Heroes by David Bowie
May 14 2025

Loved this album. I really enjoyed the ambient tracks as well.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
May 15 2025

No thank you. Not only is it about a pedophile, but it sounds like he has the mic in his mouth, giving it a feeling of ASMR. I hate ASMR.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 19 2025

It's alright. I've never really been a huge Rolling Stones fan. I like their hits but the rest don't really do much for me.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
May 20 2025

Really great album. Embarrassingly, before this album came up, I have to admit that I thought some of these were Beatles songs.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
May 21 2025

It's ok... Not great but not terrible.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
May 23 2025

I really didn't care for this... Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it I dunno. It's another one of the unusual inclusions on this list. I guess I kinda liked Shadow of a Doubt.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
May 26 2025

Just beautiful. I loved every second of it. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
May 27 2025

I feel like I need to be in a specific mood for Elvis. Unfortunately today, I was not.

Destroyer by KISS
May 28 2025

This album was decent. A few good tracks and some others I didn't care for.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
May 29 2025

Bleh, no thanks. On to the next.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
May 30 2025

3 songs, that was my limit on this album. A little too artsy for me. I guess I can see why people might like it, but it's not really my thing.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jun 02 2025

I don't really know how this is considered punk. Really boring, I find her voice quite annoying. No thanks.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jun 03 2025

Nothing spectacular but I enjoyed this more than I expected to.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 04 2025

Wow, I did not expect to enjoy this as much I did. Really great album.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jun 05 2025

This one really surprised me. On paper this is not something I would expect to enjoy. I didn't love it, but it was a solid 3/5.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Jun 06 2025

Nah, pass. I've had enough Morrissey on this list thanks.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jun 09 2025

Such a great voice, enjoyed this one.

Jun 10 2025

Excellent album. So many good songs. I remember when the album first came, out my cousin bought it and then I stole it from him and it didn't leave my discman for months. He ended up having to buy another copy because he thought he'd lost it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jun 11 2025

Not bad but not really my thing, I can only listen to Elvis in small doses.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jun 12 2025

Reggae is really hit or miss for me, and I really need to be in the mood for it...Usually. I wasn't super excited when this album came up, but I like to give all albums a chance. I'm so glad I did, it really hit the spot. The music, vibe and his voice are perfect, loved it.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Not at all what I was expecting when I saw that it was the Beach boys. But I was pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed it.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jun 16 2025

This one surprised me. Her voice is amazing.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jun 18 2025

Not my favorite, I enjoyed some of it. It definitely seems ahead of it's time.

Jun 19 2025

Eh, it's ok, most of the songs sound the same to me. That's not to say they're necessarily bad, but 19 tracks of it is a bit much all at once. The obvious highlight is Fairytale of New York.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jun 23 2025

All of the songs kind of blend together, but I didn't mind. I could listen to Sinatra sing the phone book.

Achtung Baby by U2
Jun 24 2025

Potentially the most beige album I've ever heard.

Jun 25 2025

This was my first time listening to Hole. I ended up enjoying it more than expected.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 26 2025

This album sounds like it's trying super hard to sound a specific way. I find it kind of irritating for some reason. At times it sounds like a shitty version of Talking Heads.

Jun 27 2025

Never heard of Pavement, but I ended up really enjoying it. Range Life was definitely the highlight for me.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Jun 30 2025

I really didn't expect to like this as much as I did. It does start to sound kinda same-y and blend together after a while though.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jul 03 2025

Loved this album. Not at all what I expected.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jul 04 2025

Don't hate it, don't love it either. Kind meh. His voice is unique but I don't really need a full album of it.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jul 07 2025

Every song sounds exactly the same. Not a fan.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 08 2025

Loved it so much. So cool, so smooth, I really can't get enough of it. If nothing else this list had shown me how much I enjoy jazz music.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jul 09 2025

Pretty good. I appreciate a good instrumental only album.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 10 2025

I had never heard of this album before but I recognized a few songs on it. Loved it.

Jul 11 2025

I didn't expect to like this based on the reviews, but something about it really clicked for me. I was a little intimidated by the length of the first 2 tracks. It made me feel like I was in a 90s underground warehouse rave.

Tommy by The Who
Jul 14 2025

Overall I enjoyed it, kinda strange in parts.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jul 15 2025

I don't dislike this album, but apart from Smooth Operator I just didn't really feel it.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jul 16 2025

Did somebody lose a bet? Why is this album on this list? I fail to see what I would be missing out on if I didn't listen to this before I died.

Jul 18 2025

I went into it expecting very little and was surprised that I actually didn't mind it. Decent background music.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 21 2025

I expected to enjoy this much more than I did. Maybe it warrants a re-listen...or maybe I'm just not a fan of their brand of grunge ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jul 22 2025

I'll give it points for uniqueness, but I just didn't really vibe with most of it. I really enjoyed Unfinished Sympathy.

Protection by Massive Attack
Jul 23 2025

Enjoyed this much more than Blue Lines.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Just an unbelievable album all the way through. RIP Ozzy.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jul 28 2025

I was familiar with Sunshine of your live, but nothing else really. Loved the album, nice and short too.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jul 29 2025

Turns out I've been sleeping on Talking Heads. I like everything I hear of theirs. Really enjoyed this.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jul 30 2025

It's been way too long since I've listened to Jurassic 5. Really loved them growing up and completely forgot about them. I appreciate to positivity in some of the tracks, something we could all use more of. It somehow feels old school and fresh. Timeless.

Different Class by Pulp
Aug 04 2025

Meh, it's ok. Common People is the only memorable song.

Rio by Duran Duran
Aug 05 2025

Love this album so much. Really reminds me of my childhood.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Aug 06 2025

It was ok. It grew on me as the album went on. Probably not something I'll return to, but if it was playing on the radio, I'm not gonna change the station.

Aug 07 2025

Not terrible, I guess I kind of enjoyed it. Probably won't listen again.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 08 2025

Alright album, not as good as some of their others.

The Clash by The Clash
Aug 11 2025

I really enjoyed this. Admittedly I'm not a big punk music fan, but this was great.

Purple Rain by Prince
Aug 12 2025

This album was great, I don't really know what else to say. I loved it. I really wish I had been born earlier so I could have see Prince perform live.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Aug 13 2025

Great album. Nice and short, lots of fuzzy guitar, weird slightly creepy droning. Loved it.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Aug 14 2025

While it isn't something I'll necessarily listen to everyday, it's undeniably awesome.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Aug 15 2025

So a live album that isn't actually completely live? What's the point? If I want live, I want actual live, not mishmash of live with overdub.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Aug 18 2025

Paint it, Black is good, but the rest are kinda meh. Under my thumb has...questionable lyrics.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Aug 19 2025

Really enjoyed this one, didn't want it to end.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Aug 20 2025

The album cover mattress me feel really uncomfortable for some reason. It was alright.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Aug 21 2025

I didn't love it, but I didn't dislike it enough to turn it off. 2.5, rounded up to 3 because of Solsbury Hill.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Aug 22 2025

I really liked this.

The Bends by Radiohead
Aug 25 2025

One of is my least listened to Radiohead albums. I really like it though, High and Dry is my favorite track.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Aug 26 2025

It's alright, there's something I really enjoy about his voice. Favourite track is There Is a Light That Never Goes Out.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Aug 27 2025

Just an unbelievable album. You oughta know, hand in my pocket, you learn, head over feet, ironic. 🤯

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Aug 28 2025

I really just don't care for country music. However, as far as country music goes, this wasn't the worst.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Aug 29 2025

It's...ok. Definitely not the worst thing I've heard on this list so far. Easy listening background music.

Abraxas by Santana
Sep 01 2025

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Really good.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Sep 03 2025

It's ok, I probably won't listen to it again though.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Sep 05 2025

Wow, I'd never heard of these guys before. Really enjoyed it.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Sep 08 2025

Wow, I enjoyed this so much. Time is the season eat the only song I recognized but I loved the entire album.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Sep 09 2025

Message in a Bottle and Walking on the Moon are great tracks but the rest fall pretty flat in comparison.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 10 2025

Yay another Nick Cave album! Said nobody, ever.

Ctrl by SZA
Sep 11 2025

Meh, I don't think I'm the target demo for this, it's really not my thing.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Sep 12 2025

If I look past the artist and just judge the art, this album is amazing.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Sep 15 2025

Wow, I really enjoyed this. This is what I like about this list, there is no way I would have ever heard these guys otherwise.

All Directions by The Temptations
Sep 16 2025

Loved every minute of it. Just what I needed to ease into Monday.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Sep 17 2025

I really don't care for country music. This album did not change my mind.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Sep 18 2025

Excellent. I'm not knowledgeable to comment on the polyrhythms or odd time signatures. I just know that I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Sep 19 2025

I didn't mind it. I got some mild Nirvana vibes from it. Not something I'll listen to again.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Sep 23 2025

Meh, it's ok, not really my thing.

Sep 24 2025

Wow, I really don't get it. Bass player is the only thing I enjoyed.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Sep 26 2025

I was already somewhat familiar with this album, but I'd never listened to it all the way through. What a masterpiece.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Sep 29 2025

"3 hours is just too long for an album" was my initial thought. A little over 3 hrs later and I guess I was wrong. Her voice is just amazing, I could listen to her sing the phonebook.

Odelay by Beck
Sep 30 2025

Really enjoyed this. I haven't listened to Beck very much but I enjoy most of what I hear from them.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Oct 03 2025

On a streak of albums I really don't care for. I couldn't take his mumbling for very long. On to the next.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Oct 06 2025

Pretty good for a live album

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Oct 07 2025

I liked it.

Oct 09 2025

It didn't age too well, but I can appreciate the importance of the album.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Oct 13 2025

I recognized more of these tracks than I thought I would. As overplayed as it is/was Seven Nation Army is such a banger.

War by U2
Oct 14 2025

It's ok. Got kinda boring eventually.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Oct 17 2025

Not usually into country but this was actually pretty good.

Document by R.E.M.
Oct 20 2025

Enjoyed most of it. Nothing outstanding but overall pretty good.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Oct 22 2025

I didn't hate it, but I don't see myself putting this on in the car.

Homework by Daft Punk
Oct 23 2025

Loooove this album.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Oct 24 2025

Meh, it's ok I guess.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Oct 27 2025

The first Nick Drake album I was able to finish. Really enjoyed it.

Dummy by Portishead
Oct 28 2025

Didn't care for it at first, but really got into it after a couple of tracks.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Oct 30 2025

While I didn't love it, it grew on me. I still don't think I'll be re-listening to it anytime soon.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Oct 31 2025

Pretty good, easy listening, but it all sounded kinda the same after a while.

Boston by Boston
Nov 03 2025

Excellent, enjoyed the whole thing.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Nov 04 2025

Never heard of them, but this album was very fun and pretty unique.

Nixon by Lambchop
Nov 07 2025

Wtf is this? I really don't get it.

Melodrama by Lorde
Nov 10 2025

I don't think it's bad necessarily, I just don't really like it.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Nov 11 2025

I know absolutely nothing about Frank Zappa, but I enjoyed this. It's pretty unhinged, in a good way.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Nov 12 2025

Painfully mediocre and generic, no idea how it got on this list.

The Score by Fugees
Nov 13 2025

Definitely one of those albums that I was sure I'd listened to before, but hadn't. Really enjoyed this.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Nov 14 2025

Nah

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Nov 17 2025

I liked this more than I expected. It's nothing special, but it's fun.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Nov 18 2025

I barely liked his music, then I found out he's a disgusting piece of shit.

Risque by CHIC
Nov 19 2025

I enjoyed it. I hadn't heard if them by name but I recognized the first track.

Da Capo by Love
Nov 20 2025

Meh. I didn't hate it, didn't really like it that much either.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Nov 21 2025

Tried to like this one but ended up finding it very blah. His voice was putting me to sleep.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Nov 24 2025

Great album, really enjoyed this one.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Nov 25 2025

I'd never heard of this guy before but I embedded up enjoying this. Nothing special, but overall good.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Nov 26 2025

Never heard anything by Dolly Parton and I don't generally like country music. This was really enjoyable. Probably not something I'll listen to again but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed when the album ended.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Nov 28 2025

I liked it, though I find most Beach Boys stuff sounds kinda the same ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Dec 01 2025

I liked this one. It was kinda trancey and meditative.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Dec 03 2025

Really really liked this, never heard anything like it.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Dec 04 2025

I actually kinda liked this. Not enough to listen again but, I made it through the whole thing without thinking "is this album almost over?".

S&M by Metallica
Dec 08 2025

Good, but a little long.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Dec 10 2025

I don't mind it, bit it's waayyy too long. Who has the time or patience for a live double album?

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Dec 16 2025

This was a weird album but not in a totally terrible way. Definitely not something I'll be returning to, but I didn't hate it.

The Band by The Band
Dec 18 2025

It's alright. It's verging on something I would enjoy but misses the mark.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Dec 19 2025

I guess it's alright. It kind of put me to sleep.

Closer by Joy Division
Dec 22 2025

For some reason I wanted to enjoy this more than I did. It just wasn't for me. Maybe it was just my mood on the day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Dec 23 2025

I just couldn't make it through the whole thing. While they're clearly very talented. It's just not for me.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Dec 24 2025

It's alright. Nothing groundbreaking, standard yacht rock. I didn't hate it.

Hms Fable by Shack
Dec 25 2025

Nah, not for me. Maybe I'm just grumpy because my last 6 albums have been duds, but this was not good.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Dec 26 2025

Superstition is the only good track.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Dec 29 2025

I'm not totally sure if I liked it or not. I listened to the whole thing, so I guess that's something. It's kind of weird and feels experimental at times.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Dec 31 2025

A generic British rock band/Oasis clone. It didn't sound terrible, just kind of whatever.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jan 01 2026

It's alright in parts, and not so much in others. Take your mama is the obvious stand out for me.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jan 02 2026

I was surprised to see how low this one was rated. I enjoyed it, nice easy listening.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jan 05 2026

I wasn't so sure at first, especially with a 22 minute song to start with. Once I settled into the album, I really vibed with it.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jan 07 2026

I really struggled with this one. Not a fan at all.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 08 2026

Not bad, just kinda generic. It feels like music your uncle would play at a family BBQ.

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 09 2026

It's...Alright I guess. It was fun at times and cringey at others.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jan 12 2026

A couple of the songs are ok, but most are not.

Jan 13 2026

Felt like a bit of a slog to get through. Individually the songs were ok, but all together in an album was a bit much.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 14 2026

I'm just not a fan of Elvis Costello.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jan 15 2026

This was unexpected, but amazing. The songs are long but I didn't really care.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Jan 19 2026

Just not for me, I didn't really connect with it at all.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jan 20 2026

This album rules so much.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jan 21 2026

Really liked this all the way through.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Jan 22 2026

First three songs are bangers, the rest are just filler.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jan 23 2026

If this list has taught me nothing else, it's that I love Talking Heads.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Jan 28 2026

I didn't enjoy any part of this.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jan 29 2026

Bleak, gloomy and dark. Not something I listen to often but when I'm in the right mood, it hits.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Jan 30 2026

So many bangers. Really like this album.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 02 2026

Meh. Some tracks are alright. But mostly I just wanted it to end.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Feb 03 2026

If I separate the music from the artist, I actually kinda like it.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Feb 04 2026

I'm not a huge Metallica fan, but this album rocks pretty hard.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Feb 06 2026

I'm not really a country music kinda person, but this was actually alright. Great voices and great harmonies.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Feb 10 2026

I just can't with this one. Every song sounds the same and isn't something I really vibe with.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Feb 11 2026

Enjoyed this one. Probably not something I'll come back to though.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Feb 12 2026

Extra star for nostalgia, didn't really care for it other than that.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Feb 13 2026

I've never listened to Anthrax and very minimal if any other thrash metal, but I enjoyed this album. Probably not something I'll come back to though. I feel like they would be great live.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Feb 16 2026

Meh, it's alright for country music. Not really my thing though.

Feb 17 2026

It's nothing special but I kinda liked it. It was good background music while I was working.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Feb 18 2026

Wtf did I just listen to?

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Feb 20 2026

No more Elvis Costello please. Thanks.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Feb 23 2026

It's ok, I guess.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Feb 24 2026

Not terrible. Most of the time, while listening, I felt like it would be better without the vocals.

Vulnicura by Björk
Feb 25 2026

I can appreciate Björk as an artist, but most of the time it just isn't something I can get in to. I have to be in a very specific mood to want to listen to her.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Feb 26 2026

This was a pretty fun album. Not something I see myself coming back to, but still a good time.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Feb 27 2026

The name is the album really bugs me for some reason, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Mar 03 2026

I don't hate it, it's alright. I just don't really care about it.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Mar 06 2026

It's ok. For somebody like me me who knows little to nothing about punk music, I didn't mind it. It was nice and short too.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Mar 09 2026

I guess I can see the appeal, but it's not something I enjoy.

Music by Madonna
Mar 10 2026

The title track and Don't Tell Me are pretty good, the rest are not.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Mar 11 2026

I can see its merit, and I understand why people would like it. It's just not really my thing.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Mar 12 2026

It was all right I suppose. Easy listening. Not something I'll listen to again.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Mar 13 2026

Wow, this was excellent. Never heard of em but loved the whole thing.

Mar 16 2026

I liked this more than I expected. Probably not something I'll come back to, but overall enjoyable.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Mar 19 2026

Wasn't really a fan of his when this came out, and it turns out I'm even less of a fan 25 years later.

Vespertine by Björk
Mar 20 2026

Very interesting and unique. I appreciate her as an artist but I don't really enjoy listening to her music.

Guero by Beck
Mar 23 2026

Beck is just fun.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Mar 24 2026

Beautiful voice and music, but after a while they all sound kinda the same.

Hotel California by Eagles
Mar 25 2026

Hotel California and Life in the Fast Lane are both excellent, the rest I didn't really care for.

Vivid by Living Colour
Mar 26 2026

Pretty fun. Cult of Personality is the obvious standout, but the rest is decent too.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Mar 27 2026

Humpty Dance is fun. I didn't really care for the rest

Let It Be by The Replacements
Mar 31 2026

Sounds a little generic, but it still enjoyed it. Feels pretty ahead of its time, especially with tracks like Androgynous.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Apr 01 2026

Wow, her voice is beautiful. I really enjoyed it. It's not really something I'll listen to on a regular basis.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Apr 02 2026

How many of his albums am I supposed to care about? Even his good ones are just ok. He also seems like a bit of an ass.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Apr 06 2026

Yes! Such a great album. I somehow feel nostalgic for it even though it came out before I was born.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Apr 08 2026

I'm familiar with Missy, but never really listened to her. This album was a let down.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Apr 09 2026

One of the easier 5 stars. Such a classic.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Apr 10 2026

Meh. Not what I was expecting from the Bee Gees. Not terrible but really not my jam.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Apr 13 2026

So boring.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Apr 14 2026

Didn't really care for it.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Apr 15 2026

It was passable, but not something I'll ever listen to again.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 16 2026

Big ol' dud.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Apr 17 2026

I put this on and kind of forgot I was listening to it. I'm not sure what that means but at the very least it wasn't offensively bad.

Apr 20 2026

I enjoyed this more than I expected to. I'd never really listened to him before.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Apr 21 2026

Really enjoyed this. I was already familiar with Gang Starr, but I'd never listened to any of their albums front to back. Smooth rhymes and incredible production.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Apr 23 2026

I like Neil Young, but not for an entire album.

Kenza by Khaled
Apr 24 2026

Very unique, I've never listened to anything like this. I don't know if I'll listen to it again, bit I'm glad I did at least once.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Apr 29 2026

Nice, groovy, easy listening. Probably not something I'll return to, but I enjoyed it.

Scum by Napalm Death
Apr 30 2026

No thanks. Not for me.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
May 01 2026

It has its moments. Overall kinda meh for me, with a few standout tracks.

Graceland by Paul Simon
May 05 2026

Knew some of the songs but never listened to the full album. Really enjoyed it front to back. You Can Call Me Al is the obvious standout, but I also really enjoyed Under a African Skies.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
May 06 2026

Another one of those groups where I'm familiar with their singles but never listened to a full album of. Pleasantly surprised with this one, enjoyed it quite a bit.

My Generation by The Who
May 07 2026

Title track is really good, the rest is just ok.

May 08 2026

This album is kind of all over the place. I didn't hate it, but didn't really like it that much either.

Medúlla by Björk
May 11 2026

No thank you.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
May 12 2026

His voice makes me want to strangle somebody, really can't stand it. Instrumentals were good though.

Crazysexycool by TLC
May 15 2026

Not very interesting apart from Waterfalls.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
May 18 2026

Very cool album. I really enjoyed it.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
May 19 2026

Nothing special for me. I didn't hate it, didn't love it. Probably a 2.5, but I'll round it up for Fell In Love With a Girl.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
May 21 2026

Not a very good live album.

May 25 2026

Nothing really special but I listened all the way through, so take that for what it's worth.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
May 26 2026

I gave it a chance but it just didn't click with me. It's one of those albums that I can see why people like it, but it just isn't for me.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 28 2026

Just ok. Not terrible, not special.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
May 29 2026

Absolutely loved this all the way through.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Jun 01 2026

I'm not very familiar with Jane's Addiction, but have heard of them. Overall kinda meh. Not really that special, but listenable. I think I'd enjoy them more listening to single songs instead of a full album.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jun 03 2026

Holy shit, what an album.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Jun 04 2026

Never really been a fan of Missy. I appreciate her music and some of it is pretty catchy, but don't enjoy listening to it on a regular basis. Her music Videos are usually pretty good though. I enjoyed watching them back when Much Music still played music videos.

Jun 05 2026

Pretty fun album, I enjoyed it. At times it really reminds me of Talking Heads.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jun 08 2026

Nothing spectacular, but pretty chill and easy to listen to.

Traffic by Traffic
Jun 09 2026

It's all right I guess. Just kinda meh, boring.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jun 10 2026

I didn't love it, but I appreciate it for what it is. Probably won't listen again.

Elastica by Elastica
Jun 11 2026

Not terrible, but pretty boring/generic.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Jun 12 2026

Title track and cherish are bangers, the rest is just filler.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jun 15 2026

Another one of those albums that are all right, but feel out of place on this list. Enjoyable, but nothing special.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Jun 16 2026

I appreciate it's cultural significance and some of the songs are kinda catchy. I was never really a huge fan though.

Play by Moby
Jun 17 2026

Love this album. Porcelain is my favorite track. It's one of those unusual songs that makes me nostalgic for a time that never existed.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jun 18 2026

This is exactly the type of stuff I'm looking for on this list. There is no way I would have ever found this on my own. Really enjoyed it.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 19 2026

I enjoyed it quite a bit. It kind of grew on me. A solid 3.5. I'll round down since I probably won't listen to it again.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Jun 22 2026

Pretty unusual. I'm not really sure if I like it or not. 2.5, rounding up to a 3 because I like the album art.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jun 23 2026

It's all right. Didn't love it, didn't completely hate it.

Timeless by Goldie
Jun 24 2026

Wow, loved this so much. Barely noticed that the first track was 20 minutes long. Easy 5 stars.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Jun 25 2026

I liked it, probably won't revisit any time soon. 2.5.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Jul 01 2026

I disliked this even more than I thought I would.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Jul 06 2026

Wow, I had no idea what to expect but this album was really good.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Aug 18 2026

Not something I would generally listen to and I'm not sure if I'll listen again, but overall I kinda liked it.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Aug 19 2026

I just don't really like most country music and this album is no exception.
