The Wall by Pink Floyd
May 14 2024

Classic!

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 21 2024
1984 by Van Halen
May 22 2024
Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jun 03 2024
Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jun 09 2024

Every song kinda sounds the same

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 12 2024
Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jun 14 2024
Live! by Fela Kuti
Jun 18 2024
The Clash by The Clash
Jun 20 2024

Maybe punk music just isn’t that important?

I See You by The xx
Jun 21 2024

How on Earth did this make it to the top 1001? Totally forgettable.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jun 23 2024

I mean sure. Sign of the times.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jul 01 2024

Ok enough as background music but hard to listen to straight up

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jul 02 2024

It is good jazz, OG. But it is what it is.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jul 03 2024

I can see there is talent but it just drones to my ears

OK by Talvin Singh
Jul 04 2024

I’m not entirely buying it.

Third by Portishead
Jul 05 2024
Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jul 12 2024

I guess this is ok for people who like this.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jul 15 2024

I know it is controversial, but I think Joni is just OK. If you heard her at an open mic, you’d think “Yeah, she’s good.” I’m almost prepared to go 4*, but not quite.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jul 16 2024

This may be iconic, but does that make it good?

90 by 808 State
Jul 25 2024

Borderline 1-star. Could make for nice background music in a movie scene, I guess.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jul 29 2024

I can tell it is good, so it is a 4.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jul 30 2024

A classic!

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Aug 02 2024

Apparently iconic, but made me feel like I was having a stroke.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Aug 05 2024

GOAT. 4* only because, let's face it, it's all a bit samey-samey on the album.

Boston by Boston
Aug 06 2024

Great riffs. Not the sort of album I’ll go back to, but happy to hear in a bar.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Aug 08 2024

Preacher Man is legendary- but the rest? Meh.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Aug 09 2024

Bittersweet Symphony is my least favorite song of all time. This whole album reeks of adjacency to it.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 12 2024

It’s fine. I know people love it, but it’s beer tent background music to me.

Aug 15 2024

It’s like if the Pet Shop Boys all had lobotomies and then sat down to recreate what a white Prince would perform at a retirement home

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Aug 19 2024

Great album but, cmon guys, cheer up.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Aug 20 2024

Great chord progressions. A bit whiny but so was the era.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Aug 29 2024

Unlistenable.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Sep 02 2024

What a great voice. Peak Willie!

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Sep 04 2024

Great singer, great album. Front half slaps harder than the back.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Sep 05 2024

Nobody, I mean NOBODY, loves Ryan Adams more than Ryan Adams.

Aja by Steely Dan
Sep 09 2024

I feel like I’m waiting on hold to play the game where I tell my internet provider that I want to cancel so that they lower the monthly cost back to what it used to be and act like they’re doing me a huge favor.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Sep 11 2024

Rather nice.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Sep 17 2024

Too hardcore for me, but I can tell it is good.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Sep 26 2024

Not my scene.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Oct 01 2024

Perfectly fine.

In Utero by Nirvana
Oct 04 2024

Great stuff - but a little shouty, even for Nirvana.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Oct 15 2024

Perfectly fine. Has been since 1994.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Oct 18 2024

Mostly better without Kanye…

Parachutes by Coldplay
Nov 05 2024

Meh. Samey-samey and a bit depressing.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Nov 12 2024

Good, I guess. Perhaps great - for people who love this.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Nov 19 2024

I listened to nearly half of it!

Third by Soft Machine
Nov 28 2024

WTF.

Imagine by John Lennon
Dec 02 2024
