I knew this day would come- I cried out when I saw this one LMAO not looking forward to it Halfway through and still don't understand how people enjoy them. I'm just waiting for Helter Skelter to start.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

5/5

As someone going through a breakup, this album is phenomenal. It amazes me how the experience of being a woman has remained the same even through the generations. Incredible listen.

Moon Safari

Air

4/5

I’m not typically a fan of albums with so few lyrics, but this one just screams “rolled down windows riding down A1A”. I downloaded this to my Spotify and plan to do exactly that, all summer long.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

1/5

More like spoken poetry than music- not sure if I can bring myself to finish. Just not my style, although the instrumentals are nice and peaceful.

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

I don’t think that I can give this a true rating- I listened to it while I was driving, and was unable to look up the translation for the lyrics. Overall, I enjoyed the instrumentals and the overall vibes of the album.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

Don’t have anything to say about this one- it was okay.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Definitely a classic- it was wonderful listening to this while I worked. I don’t know if any of the songs necessarily stood out to me, but they came together to create a fantastic atmosphere.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

I absolutely love the seamless way that the songs on this album transition between each other. I wasn't initially impressed with this album after listening to the first couple of songs, but it has definitely grown on me as I've continued.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

I can see why this album would be listed in the top 1001 of all time, but I can't say that it's my style, per say. It wasn't bad listening to this first thing in the morning while I was working- it definitely fit the mood. Overall, I just find this album repetitive and a little boring.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

2/5

I've been WAITING for Metallica to show up- can't wait to listen to this in its entirety. I like Metallica as much as the next girl, but I'm not sure that this is their best work. I enjoyed listening, but I don't think that this album left a lasting impression one way or the other.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

The timing of this is funny, as I just saw a video last night of people bashing Cyndi and saying that she was a one-hit wonder. This album proves that incorrect, and cements her as one of the greatest pop singers of all time.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

I've never listened to a Bruce Springsteen album before, so I was excited to finally give him a real chance. I can see why people love him, but I don't find anything in this album very memorable.

Live!

Fela Kuti

1/5

I'm not a fan of purely acoustic albums- the songs in this album seemed to drag on and were highly repetitive in my opinion. I will try to finish listening, but it already feels like I've been listening for hours.

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

3/5

This album is nice to listen to in the background while working, but I'm not sure that it serves any other purpose. It's good, but not necessarily my style or speed.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

I can see why this became a classic, but I wasn't as into it as I thought I would be. I might need to explore more Ray Charles.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

I liked the sound and feel of it- I wish I would have had more time to look into the actual meanings of the songs. Overall, pretty nice to listen to.

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

I've never actually listened to a David Bowie album in its entirety before this morning. It was a nice listen, with just a song or two that I already knew - the perfect amount. I liked this just about as much as I expected to.

Da Capo

Love

2/5

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

It kinda feels like I'm on the longest elevator ride of my life, but I can't say that I'm particularly upset about that...

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

2/5

I didn't know what was going on at any point during my listen of this one. Confused.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

3/5

Definitely enjoyable to listen to, but not really my style.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

2/5

Too whiny for me. Pass.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

2/5

This is a super fun listen, but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. Some of the songs are catchy and will be stuck in my head for sure, but others seem amateur in a way that I can't get with.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

2/5

I have never listened to The Kinks before, but I get the slightest Beatles impression, so I'm out. I'm sorry.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

I'm not a huge fan of purely acoustic albums, and this one doesn't seem to be any different. It feels slightly repetitive at times.

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

This was my favorite album 10 years ago, let's see how it has held up over time.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

2/5

Had a nice, smooth vibe to it, but I am not a fan of albums without lyrics. Felt a little repetitive to me.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

1/5

"And you're sick of all this... repetition" (Queen Jane Approximately) Yes, Bob, I am. Why are all of the songs so long? Not a fan - feels like I'm stuck in a loop, they all sound the same.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

Just looking at the total listen time, I don't think I'm going to be a huge fan of this one... We'll see how far I make it. I wouldn't say that I didn't enjoy it at all, but it definitely wasn't my favorite. A few of the songs were quite nice to listen to.

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Today's going to be a good day. I love this album so very much.

Dummy

Portishead

2/5

While I think that this is one of the most interesting albums I've listened to so far, it didn't really leave much more of an impression on me. I enjoy the vibe of it for the most part, though.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

2/5

I feel like most of the albums that are on this list are of the same genre and have the same sound- this album is no different. I am not a fan.

Adele

4/5

Such a great album- I'm glad to get something a little different today.

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

I used to love this album, but I don’t think it aged all that well for me.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

5/5

As someone going through a breakup, this album is phenomenal. It amazes me how the experience of being a woman has remained the same even through the generations. Incredible listen.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

2/5

How many different versions of the same songs can we fit in one album? It's kind of interesting listening to Otis Redding covering all of these classic songs, but he doesn't do any of them better than the original...

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

I wasn't impressed much by this album on my first listen, but I definitely am appreciating it more the second time around. I feel like this would be perfect music to play while cleaning the house. Very peaceful and relaxing.

m b v

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

I wasn't really a fan of this one- it wasn't interesting enough to grab my attention at any point while I was listening. Felt like I could fall asleep at any second.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

I don’t even have anything to say about this one. It was okay.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

3/5

The hits on this album are HITTING, but the rest of the album isn't as amazing as I remember it being. Overall, a good listening experience. I can recognize this as a pretty solid album from Kanye, but it doesn't hold a candle to Graduation, in my opinion.

War

3/5

Definitely not excited about this one. Okay, it's honestly not as bad as I was expecting it to be (the usual U2 experience). All of the songs have an aggression to them that I'm kind of loving.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

The first song on this album is one that I have known my entire life but have never been able to name the title or the artist. I am digging both the sound and the album cover.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

2/5

I feel like I haven't had an album that actually makes me FEEL anything in a while... This one is the same- it's okay but doesn't really stand out to me in any way. I'm leaning towards the negative, though.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

3/5

A few of the songs on this album are enjoyable, but for the most part, I don't feel any type of way about this one. I can acknowledge that it's objectively good, but not really my thing. A lot of these albums sound the same to me...

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

Finally something a little different this week. I am loving the vibe of this album - it reminds me of a sad Christmas, if that makes sense.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

I really enjoy the hits on this album, but everything else just seems to blend together. It felt like I was listening to the same song over and over again.

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

Always a great album to listen to - I'd give 5 stars for Jeremy

Orbital 2

Orbital

3/5

I wouldn’t say that I didn’t enjoy this, but it did start to feel a lil too repetitive towards the end and I don’t really like music without words too much. I really enjoyed a couple of the songs, though.

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

3/5

I don’t feel any way about this one way or the other.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

I may be biased, but this album is a masterpiece. Always has been and always will be.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

2/5

A little too aggressive and repetitive for me - just not my thing.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

3/5

I actually quite liked the energy that this album had, but it didn't really leave an impression on me unfortunately.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

2/5

When I pulled this album up and saw it was 3 hours, I laughed. We'll see if I make it all the way through. There's no shot I finish this whole thing, I feel like I'm living in a loop. Too long and repetitive for me- it's a shame because I know how good Ella Fitzgerald is.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

This album is absolutely timeless - all the times I've listened to it, it's never gotten old. It had me grooving in my cubicle.

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

2/5

I wasn't expecting to find one of my favorite samples on this album, but I am pleasantly surprised. Other than that one second snippet, I'm not very impressed with the rest of the album - it's a little boring.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Such a phenomenal album. I've actually never listened to this album in its entirety, but it was exactly what I thought it would be. Amazing. I've been listening to it on repeat all day.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

4/5

I enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would. Although all of the songs kind of sound the same, I still think they blended together seamlessly and made for a good listen first thing in the morning. It felt like I was in an old-western. "Cocaine" gets a thumbs down from me.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

2/5

I never knew that this album was so incredibly long. I'm sad to say that this was almost 3 hours of the same exact song on repeat. I've heard so many good things about this one, too.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

1/5

I don't know why I keep on doing this to myself - hopefully this is the last damn Bob Dylan album on this list. I can't do this, I'm sorry Bob.

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

2/5

I just find this album boring, honestly.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

1/5

I'm really not into all the counting, crying, and moaning in the background of the songs here. I absolutely cannot finish this one, I'm sorry to all the fans of this shit.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

As a whole, this album didn't leave much of a good impression on me, but "You Can Make It If You Try" made the whole thing worth listening to for me.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

This is the first enjoyable album I've had this week, so my standards may be lower than normal at this point, but I really liked this one. Upbeat and unique.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

I wish I could say that I really enjoyed this album, but it didn't make me feel any type of way really. There was too much straight instrumental at the end for my taste, but overall it was an okay listen, if not boring.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

3/5

This one wasn't my style necessarily, but I can really appreciate her voice and the stories she is telling through the songs on the album. I enjoyed it enough.

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

2/5

Wasn't a fan of this one - I found it to be stereotypical 80's music. Had me cringing a little bit, to be honest.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

3/5

I think 10 years ago, I would've enjoyed this album a lot more than I am now. I don't find this album as lyrical or as entertaining as I once did.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

4/5

I've never heard of Sarah Vaughan before today, and that's a shame honestly. I LOVED this album from beginning to end.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

I don't really feel any type of way about this album - it really just sounds like most of the albums on the list... They're starting to blend together a little bit, honestly. Nothing really sets this one apart from the rest, in my opinion.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

2/5

It was okay.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

2/5

Definitely not my thing - this album has an amateur feel to it that I couldn't stop noticing in all of the songs.

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

I was prepared to say that this album was overrated, but I really enjoyed the experience of listening to this one. I didn't even realize it was over and had started over again until more than halfway through.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

Had a little pep in my step listening to this one - made me feel like a bad ass a little bit.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

3/5
