The White Album by Beatles

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.

Moon Safari by Air
Jun 03 2024

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.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jun 05 2024

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 by Buena Vista Social Club
Jun 06 2024

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 by Cream
Jun 07 2024

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

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jun 10 2024

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 by Janelle Monáe
Jun 11 2024

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 by Joni Mitchell
Jun 12 2024

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 by Metallica
Jun 13 2024

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 by Cyndi Lauper
Jun 14 2024

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 by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 17 2024

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! by Fela Kuti
Jun 18 2024

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.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jun 20 2024

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 by Ray Charles
Jun 21 2024

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.

The White Album by Beatles
Jun 27 2024

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.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jun 28 2024

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.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 01 2024
Young Americans by David Bowie
Jul 16 2024

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.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 18 2024

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 by Malcolm McLaren
Jul 19 2024

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

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 22 2024

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

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Jul 24 2024

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.

Jul 26 2024

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 by Green Day
Jul 29 2024

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

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jul 30 2024

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 by Bob Dylan
Jul 31 2024

"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 by Duke Ellington
Aug 01 2024

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 by Nas
Aug 02 2024

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

Dummy by Portishead
Aug 05 2024

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 by Joy Division
Aug 06 2024

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.

21 by Adele
Aug 07 2024

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

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Aug 08 2024

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

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.

Aug 12 2024

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 by Van Morrison
Aug 13 2024

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 by My Bloody Valentine
Aug 14 2024

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.

Aug 16 2024

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 by U2
Aug 19 2024

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 by The Rolling Stones
Aug 20 2024

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.

Aug 21 2024

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.

Aug 22 2024

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...

Aug 23 2024

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 by Janis Joplin
Aug 26 2024
Smash by The Offspring
Aug 27 2024

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 by Pearl Jam
Aug 28 2024

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

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Aug 29 2024

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 by Kings of Leon
Aug 30 2024

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

Sep 02 2024

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

Sep 04 2024

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

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Sep 05 2024

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.

Sep 06 2024

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.

Sep 11 2024

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.

Sep 12 2024

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 by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Sep 13 2024

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.

Sep 16 2024

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 by Bob Dylan
Sep 17 2024

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 by Emmylou Harris
Sep 18 2024

I just find this album boring, honestly.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Sep 19 2024

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! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 20 2024

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! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 23 2024

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 by David Bowie
Sep 24 2024

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 by Billie Holiday
Sep 25 2024

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 by Hanoi Rocks
Sep 26 2024

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.

Sep 27 2024

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 by Sarah Vaughan
Sep 30 2024

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 by The Who
Oct 01 2024

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 by Arcade Fire
Oct 02 2024

It was okay.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Oct 03 2024

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

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Oct 07 2024

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 by Beastie Boys
Oct 08 2024

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