Ten by Pearl Jam
Jun 04 2024

Amazing first album to start this journey on. One I already mostly know and love, full of many of Pearl Jams best hits. Somehow I have never heard Release before, and that was a great discovery!

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jun 05 2024

Not an album I've ever listened to before, I thought it was pretty good. Just not what I was in the mood for today. Not what I expected based on my limited listening time with The Cure.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jun 06 2024

There's a lot of timeless hits in here, and a surprising number of songs that really aren't hits.

Dummy by Portishead
Jun 07 2024

This is the first one I've had to listen to twice so far. This is an incredibly well done album with a lot going for it. This is almost certainly the inspiration for a lot of other music that I like.

1999 by Prince
Jun 10 2024

Good stuff

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 11 2024

First time listening to a full White Stripes album and it was a great experience! What an awesome album!

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jun 12 2024

Complete and utter wizardry, I cannot even begin to imagine what it would have been like in that crowd experiencing this live!

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jun 14 2024

Very misleading album name because you absolutely can buy a thrill, such as this very album! Great from the start, and an amazing beginning to the band.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jun 17 2024

Jazz and hip hop fusion? What's not to love!

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jun 18 2024

I don't even need to listen to it again (but I will!) 5 stars. Great album! Love playing songs off this one.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jun 19 2024

Some interesting stuff here, but overall not a great album.

The Man Who by Travis
Jun 20 2024

It's good background music, but this isn't something I'd want to sit down and listen to on it's own again.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Jun 21 2024

There's some really good stuff on here! It's a fun album I might come back to.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jun 24 2024

Amazing album! But very hard to listen to all in one sitting, I've never tried that before. I'm impressed by just how much they have managed to put together with the samples and sounds here. Quite a few I've heard before, and so many completely new ones!

In Utero by Nirvana
Jun 25 2024

Nirvana has some really good songs, but some of their songs that don't get radio play don't get it for a reason.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 26 2024

It's fine, my first full Smiths album listen and it's got me feeling a little let down.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jun 27 2024

This is a really good album with an interesting mix of African music with more western styles.

Sulk by The Associates
Jun 28 2024

This is not an album that has aged well

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jul 01 2024

Love this album and I have even more of an appreciation for it now that I've seen her live!

The Cars by The Cars
Jul 02 2024

Just What I Needed

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 04 2024

It's a good album and I absolutely understand why it is on this list, but I do not personally feel it has aged as well as some of their other music unfortunately.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jul 05 2024

Love me some Stevie. This is a great one!

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 08 2024

Not their best album, but one of the best first albums of all time. A lot of really good songs on here, but nowhere near as refined as much of their later work.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jul 09 2024

It's okay, but this really isn't Bowies best work at all and I'm surprised by its inclusion on this list.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jul 10 2024

The Grateful Dead are fine. This album just doesn't really stand out compared to other similar types of bands.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jul 11 2024

It's okay, they achieved the sound they were trying to get but it's nothing overly special.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jul 12 2024

Great album that tells a story throughout. Absolutely love this one, although the middle is a bit weaker.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 15 2024

Another band with a great debut album that just didn't keep the sound up as they got more popular.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 16 2024

Hell yeah this album rocks

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Jul 19 2024

The spotify listening stats show it all, the first song is amazing and the rest are not so great. I'm glad I've listened to this album, but I don't think I will again beyond the first song.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jul 22 2024

Great album

The Doors by The Doors
Jul 23 2024

A few weaker songs in here, but overall this is a great album!

Jul 24 2024

This feels like something to listen to live, not as a recording.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jul 25 2024

This was way better than I was expecting a multi-concert live album to be!

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 30 2024

Great album, one of the ones I grew up listening to. Nothing better than Born in the USA making fun of some of its biggest fans while they know nothing!

OK by Talvin Singh
Jul 31 2024

I love this kind of genre and musical culture fusion!

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Aug 01 2024

It's a good listen, but I don't think it's overly special.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Aug 02 2024

Even the weakest songs of this album are better than many great songs, it doesn't get much better than this.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Aug 05 2024

Soul is exactly what I wanted to listen to today it seems, great album!

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Aug 06 2024

Not their best album, but this is still a really good one!

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 07 2024

It's just great to listen to

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Sep 17 2024

First time listening to a full Cat Stevens album, and it's just a nice chill time with good tunes.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Sep 18 2024

This could be a 5 star album if an editor told George no just a little bit

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Sep 19 2024

As a whole this album is good, but doesn't really have any standout tracks to me. It was great to have on in the background.

Sep 20 2024

One of the best hip hop albums I've ever listened to. I can't even imagine what it would have been like listening to this when it first came out, and just having your mind blown by it.
