London Calling by The Clash
May 20 2024

Classic, but not my favorite style of music.

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 21 2024

Great album. Amazing how many songs on it were popular singles that I know well already.

Young Americans by David Bowie
May 22 2024

Love David Bowie. Fun to hear this album all the way through.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 23 2024

classic!

Homework by Daft Punk
May 27 2024

Such a fun album.

Parklife by Blur
May 28 2024

Surprising. Felt like the music could have come from almost any time period, not specifically the 90s. Was fun to listen through - never had heard the whole album before.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
May 31 2024

Definitely a fun ride. I enjoy metal, and this one had some bangers, but not something I usually keep on the regular rotation these days.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jun 03 2024

Not for me.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jun 04 2024

Definitely surprising. I enjoyed how much more instrumental it was than I had anticipated - almost a jazz album. Really enjoyed it.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jun 06 2024

Really great. Lots of hits and fun nostalgic listen.

Spiderland by Slint
Jun 07 2024

Not a fan. It felt boring most of the time. I could tell where sometimes their sound felt like it might have been an influence for future musicians, but overall didn’t enjoy listening.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jun 10 2024

Great album by a great man!

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jun 11 2024

Great album. Puts me in a very pensive mood. I remembering listening to this when it came out and it was defining for that year of my life.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jun 13 2024

I enjoyed it. Nice to see a female artist grace the list. Never heard of her before but enjoyed her wordsmithing.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jun 14 2024

It’s ok. Kind of easy listening background music. I thought I caught a few ear worms, but nothing too captivating.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jun 18 2024

What a great album. Loved to listen to it. Will listen again.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 19 2024

pretty quintessential pop. Easy to listen to, and obviously recognize a lot of the singles. Not my favorite thing to listen to regularly, but see the appeal.

California by American Music Club
Jun 21 2024

Couldn't find the album on spotify, but listened to their album San Francisco. It was alright.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jun 24 2024

Pretty excellent. I had listened to it a bunch when I was a teenager so remembered a lot of it, but forgot how bluesy some of it go. But yeah, lots of classics.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jun 25 2024

Nice to hear some of the hits mixed in with songs I’ve never heard. Not totally my thing, but was amused by some of the more orchestral pieces.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jun 26 2024

It's interesting and I appreciate the interludes. I don't find myself too compelled by the songs, but appreciate it for what it is.

Faith by George Michael
Jun 27 2024

It's good. I've heard a lot of it before, but was cool to hear all the songs. But not something I am dying to listen to on repeat.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Jun 28 2024

Funny how I knew a lot of these songs without knowing who they were by. Fun album. Super retro and hippie vibes.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jul 03 2024

Fun. I enjoy Steely Dan, but wasn't really blown away by the album.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jul 08 2024

full of fun songs. Really enjoyed it.

My Generation by The Who
Jul 09 2024

Eh. One good song, but surprisingly not into the rest. Weird mix of sounds. Not for me.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jul 12 2024

fun. not my jam, but fun to hear.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Jul 17 2024

It's good for what it is, but I just don't care about it.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jul 18 2024

Kind of had Moby vibes. It was ok, but more like background music to me.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jul 19 2024

honestly hated it. Couldn't wait to stop listening. Just a cacophony of uninteresting noise.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jul 23 2024

fun. good songs on there. Overall, not what I want to listen to on the regular, but a classic.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jul 25 2024

Loved it. Kind of spooky 80s. Into it.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Jul 26 2024

not a punk rock fan. The lyrics feel a little problematic. Not going to finish the album.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 30 2024

love it. used to listen to it when it came out so have fond memories and enjoy relistening to it.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Aug 01 2024

Sort of a downmarket Nora Jones. Also fine, but not like, super.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Aug 06 2024

Good stuff. I enjoyed it, but isn't something I want to hear on the regular.

Achtung Baby by U2
Aug 07 2024

It's fine. I don't get that excited about U2 though.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Aug 08 2024

Not much interest in scream rock.

Who's Next by The Who
Aug 13 2024

Lots of classics. easy to listen to. Like it.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Aug 14 2024

Fun, funky, but not really my style.

Third by Soft Machine
Aug 15 2024

I dunno. Maybe too noodly for me. At times it felt like it was just jazz, but other times it was just background and uninteresting.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Aug 16 2024

Such an amazing voice. Enjoyed listening, but probably not going to listen to it all the time. Fun though!

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Aug 19 2024

I like it. Sort of a funky upbeat Tracy Chapman style, but really enjoyable.

Arrival by ABBA
Aug 20 2024

Love it.

Timeless by Goldie
Aug 21 2024

Boring.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Aug 23 2024

So boring. I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 26 2024

I mean, it's good, but not my speed. A little noodly at points.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 28 2024

It's fine, but I didn't find myself really captivated by any of the songs. The vibe is enjoyable, but kind of background music.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Aug 30 2024

Enjoyable. Fun beats and a David Bowie-esque voice.

Guero by Beck
Sep 02 2024

love it.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Sep 04 2024

pretty great! brings back memories and is full of the sounds of my youth.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Sep 06 2024

Fun, but nothing very familiar to me. Would listen again but nothing really caught me.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Sep 12 2024

I mean, it's fun, funky, and I can't help but move my body to the beat. Not something I am deeply satisfied by, but good for background.

Stankonia by OutKast
Sep 13 2024

Really fun

Graceland by Paul Simon
Sep 19 2024

Classic

Kid A by Radiohead
Sep 30 2024

So good
