Dire Straits by Dire Straits
May 19 2024

Nice chilled album for a Sunday morning.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
May 20 2024

Gone too soon. Classic.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
May 21 2024

I listened to this and imagined someone like Amy Winehouse singing it instead. Now that would have been a great album. Too many of these old timers put no emotion into their music, this is flat and sleep inducing.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
May 22 2024

Cool album.

May 23 2024

Generic WBR for a bar in a standard city centre on a Friday night sometime in the 2005-2010 period. Just background noise.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 25 2024

Two absolute classics in amongst some typical 80’s fare.

Berlin by Lou Reed
May 29 2024

Music to jump out of a window to.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jun 02 2024

Better than I expected.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Jun 03 2024

Abysmal. Absolutely dire. How anyone can seriously rate this highly is astonishing to me. Depression on wax.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jun 04 2024

Sweet, airy, relaxing jazz. Definitely one to replay regularly and has also put me on a deep dive into both artists.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jun 05 2024

Mix of styles. Not bad.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Jun 06 2024

Hip hop pioneers deliver the goods.

The Clash by The Clash
Jun 07 2024

Not my kinda music, but I respect it. Actually really good album.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jun 08 2024

Good but not outstanding.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jun 10 2024

Yeah this is ok. I can see why people would dig it.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jun 12 2024

A product of its time. Nice but unremarkable, with the title track being the highlight.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 13 2024

Umm… never mind.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jun 15 2024

Two stars for being the source of that De La Soul sample.

The Man Who by Travis
Jun 16 2024

Music like this is so depressing, almost an aide to suicide.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Jun 17 2024

2.5 actually, pretty good. Not available on Apple Music though.

Doolittle by Pixies
Jun 18 2024

2.5. Original stuff.

B-52's by The B-52's
Jun 19 2024

Unique. 2.5.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jun 20 2024

Finally, a quality album to listen to.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jun 21 2024

Not my cup of tea, but better than expected. 2.5.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jun 23 2024

Hip hop and rap heritage. Sounds as fresh now as back in 1990.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Jun 24 2024

1001 albums, and they’ve managed to choose some of the most dire, uninspired trash ever recorded in large parts it seems.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jun 25 2024
The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Jul 01 2024

I’ve listened to some bad albums on this generator, but this is the absolute pits. A steaming pile of horse poop that stinks worse than a skunk convention on a hot day. Even worse are the clowns telling everyone how great this is. Zero isn’t possible, so a reluctant 1.
