Medúlla by Björk

This was a mix of someone in significant pain, someone in ecstasy, or someone hyperventilating.

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Oh boy a great album from one of the GOATs! Such a musical mind!

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 27 2024

Loved this album then and love it now!!

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
May 28 2024

Some tracks were a little “yelly” for me but it was overall interesting.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
May 30 2024

Lots of variety and I had no idea they did Alright! Liked how much Strange Ones shifted around but didn’t care for the chorus much.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 31 2024

Well this was hard to get through. Long intros and llooonnggg songs! If I had to pick a title it would be Children of the Damned

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jun 02 2024

So good! A little twangy at first musically but then her voice takes over!

Medúlla by Björk
Jun 03 2024

This was a mix of someone in significant pain, someone in ecstasy, or someone hyperventilating.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Jun 05 2024

Um, just no! The music was so splintered so I was hoping there would be some lyrics? Oddly, the only song I felt was reasonable was Kuntz!

Jun 06 2024

Pretty enjoyable and material didn’t seem dated, like it belonged in a particular era

Jun 07 2024

Decent and not f course their two top hits where there too, also liked “What!”

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Jun 08 2024

Such a full bodied sound with all the brass and those keyboards! Great listen!

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 09 2024

Nice early Marley. Was surprised by the different version of Woman No Cry, not what it’s become known as. Lively Up Your Life was a good mantra song.

Repeater by Fugazi
Jun 10 2024

Not bad for a punky type album.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 12 2024

Melodically very pleasant. Liked West Country Girl and Far From Me but not my genre overall.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jun 14 2024

Interesting arrangements but vocals ranged no from shrieking to juvenile sounding banter. Night of the Swallow was my selected favorite.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 15 2024

Interesting and some good listens

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jun 16 2024

Not bad, seemed like a lot of variety, which surprised me.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Jun 17 2024

Some great oldies! Very iconic voice!

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 18 2024

This sounded like overstructured, overdone arrangements,over and over again! Not….my…cup…of…tea! Better than Bjork though.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jun 19 2024

Lots more variety than I thought there would be. Folksy, bluesy, light rock. I wouldn’t seek it out to listen to though.

Smash by The Offspring
Jun 20 2024

Good listen. I know they’re considered punk but it felt more grungy/rock/little bit punk to me.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Jun 21 2024

Meh. Tracks were a bit disjointed for my taste, especially Chance Meeting. Would You Believe was my favorite on the album

Jun 22 2024

Reasonable listen but nothing stuck out other than the lyrics, which were downright funny at times. Girlfriend in a Coma was the most enjoyable!

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Jun 24 2024

🥴 All the drum tracks sounded the same. I was skipping through the tracks in an effort to get through them and kept coming upon the same instrumentals!

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jun 27 2024

Some good ones on this album. Very enjoyable and really not too 60’s ish.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Jun 28 2024

Liked Love You, not the additional takes, just Love You.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 29 2024

Some good ones on this album! A couple of weirder ones too but overall good!

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jun 30 2024

Not a fan, just too over mixed and engineered for my taste. So Easy was okay.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jul 01 2024

Pretty easy listening from an artist I’ve never heard anyone f.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jul 02 2024

Meh….🤷🏻‍♀️

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 03 2024

Great classic!! Brings back memories!

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jul 04 2024

Couldn’t find this on a free service.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jul 05 2024

The echo machine was prevalent on this one. Liked Dixie Drug Store the most.

The Cars by The Cars
Jul 07 2024

Endless enjoyment on this iconic hit filled album. Just soooo good on all fronts!

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jul 08 2024

This was a fun listen! Great voice and such unique, yet acceptable lyrics!

Marquee Moon by Television
Jul 09 2024

Pleasant enough but nothing worth saving to a playlist IMHO

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jul 11 2024
Jul 12 2024

Couldn’t find this album on free listening sites so couldn’t listen/review.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jul 13 2024

A little too jazzy for me but still respectable!

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jul 16 2024

Second album from the Smiths….doubling up already?

Risque by CHIC
Jul 18 2024

Good Times and My Feet Keep Dancing were the best tracks. Nice album!

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jul 19 2024

Too ominous for me. Madonna, Sean, and me was somewhat enjoyable

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jul 20 2024

Bona fide GOLD! Was least familiar with Four Sticks but loved/knew every track. Enjoyed the simplicity of Going To California as I always have!

Guero by Beck
Jul 21 2024

Really liked this one! E-Pro, Girl and Missing

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jul 23 2024

Thought I would enjoy these guys, not so much. All such melancholy tracks! Go To Sleep was the best of them.

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 24 2024

All sounded the same but a couple of standouts.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Jul 25 2024

Pretty enjoyable, such a great voice, relaxes me!

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jul 26 2024

I really liked this one! Mambo Sun and Bang a Gong 👍🏼

Aja by Steely Dan
Jul 27 2024

👍🏼 Least favorite was such a well known song, Aja!

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jul 28 2024

Enjoyed the mandolin and the indie sound but not the way the vocalist broke up the syllables in the lyrics so distinctly. Winter White Hymnal, I believe, was my favorite

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 29 2024

Liked the title track but other than that, nothing remarkable.

London Calling by The Clash
Jul 30 2024

Listenable for sure with a couple of stand out tracks

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Aug 01 2024

I really liked this album! Kind of gave me a Music Festival vibe, lots of variety!

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Aug 03 2024

Oh boy a great album from one of the GOATs! Such a musical mind!

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Aug 05 2024

I know they probably spent countless hours on this album but it sure sounds like they just kinda made most of it up on the spot!

Who's Next by The Who
Aug 06 2024

Another GOAT album just packed with iconic tracks!!

Station To Station by David Bowie
Aug 08 2024

This was a great album. Almost every track had something unique, yet Bowie to offer!

Aug 10 2024

Voice got a little old but the horns thrown in here and there made it interesting. Liked “When Seasons Change “ the best.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Aug 11 2024

Kinda fun. Liked Little Queen of Darness and Sunny Afternoon the most. Some of it was too 60’s for me though.

Aug 13 2024

Haven’t really listened to Cold Play much and I really enjoyed it. Love having a strong but not overbearing piano in there!

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Aug 14 2024

The Other Side and Girls Like Me were nice listening but overall pretty self deprecating lyrics, especially the short little “chats” sprinkled in as tracks.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Aug 15 2024

Hmmm, pretty boring and non descriptive.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Aug 16 2024

Interesting….

Aug 19 2024

Man Who Sailed Around His Soul was retro but also current. A World Wrapped In Grey also good.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Aug 20 2024

Not a huge Pink Floyd fan but a solid classic nonetheless.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 21 2024

Overall good folksy rockish album.

Hms Fable by Shack
Aug 22 2024

Interesting….

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Aug 26 2024

REALLY liked this album. No idea what the lyrics were, of course, but the music was intoxicating!

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Aug 27 2024

Very enjoyable with good variety and some iconic songs. Never thought of myself as a Steely Dan fan but I added a couple of tracks to my playlist!

Parklife by Blur
Aug 28 2024

Lots or repetition within each song. The little short tracks spring led in were a nice little surprise but kind of odd music (organs I think?) Liked Nw Low the best.

The Coral by The Coral
Aug 30 2024

Fun and eclectic listen. Liked Waiting for the Heartaches to Come. Also liked the ties and references to the sea that kept recurring.

Queen II by Queen
Sep 02 2024

Very different than what I expected. More of a rock sound.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Sep 03 2024

Interesting and typical early Bowie.

Sep 05 2024

Some rather screechy tracks, some rocker tracks, some almost lullaby tracks.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Sep 08 2024

Iconic stuff there!

Sep 10 2024

Some good tracks for sure. Each track, however, was so different from the others. At times it was a bit disorienting, like “Who am I actually listening to?” Enjoyed it for the most part

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Sep 11 2024

Enjoyed this album. Rap that wasn’t too offensive or derogatory. Also liked the horns

Hotel California by Eagles
Sep 12 2024

Just the best of the best. All tracks, every one!

Forever Changes by Love
Sep 15 2024

Enjoyable listen, nothing too jarring

No Other by Gene Clark
Sep 16 2024

Very much enjoyed this album, particularly Strength of Strings.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Sep 17 2024

Such long endings and some solids but not a big fan

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Sep 18 2024

Very loungy indeed! Whoever was the drummer for him had a really cush gig!

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Sep 19 2024

This was not the iconic McCartney sound I expected. Kind of took me aback. Some good tracks on there of course, “Maybe I’m Amazed”

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Sep 22 2024

So this was A LOT of Christina! Some good ones though!

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Sep 26 2024

Could hear traces of that great harmony but overall a disappointing album. Odd tracks/subjects to sing about. Liked the tree one though

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Sep 27 2024

Couldn’t find actual album on Spotify but pieced it together to listen.

May 29 2025

Liked Tamalpais High and eventually enjoyed Laughing, but long intro that was very diff from the rest of the song. Pretty old school and lots of instrumental in gene .

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
May 30 2025

Very Steely Dan-ish. Liked New Frontier but honestly they all sounded soooo similar to each other….
