21 by Adele
Jun 18 2024

Hit some feelings I didn’t know I had

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jun 19 2024

I couldn’t tell if I liked or hated this album, I still don’t know. Has some good songs though

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jun 20 2024

It’s old but kind of my jam

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jun 27 2024

Next level weird stuff. Drugs recommended

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jun 30 2024

Lots of ooooos not a lot of good songs

Jul 02 2024

Was not expecting so many bangers from songs I’ve never heard of

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 13 2024

All baby making music, a lot of songs sound similar but they’re good

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 14 2024

O’Malleys bar might the worst song I’ve ever heard. Rest of the album is kind of interesting though. This is a weird one

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 15 2024

Was not expecting strange instrumental songs for half the album. Herod is good but that’s about it

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jul 16 2024

Classic dad rock

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jul 17 2024

Kind of exhausting each song being 9 mins but not bad, wouldn’t listen to again but hey

1984 by Van Halen
Jul 23 2024

Guess I know why I knew most of these songs, I get it. Hot for teacher is the corniest song ever

Moon Safari by Air
Jul 24 2024

Some funky beats and sweet jams. This shit rocks

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jul 25 2024

Guys voice is quite annoying, some songs are alright though

Vespertine by Björk
Aug 07 2024

Very strange, but strangely moving. I imagine this is just what Iceland sounds like.

Revolver by Beatles
Aug 08 2024

Haven’t heard half these songs but they’re good. The sitar stuff kinda stinks but nobody’s perfect

The Undertones by The Undertones
Aug 09 2024

Not as good as their other album and a lot of these songs sound identical, still decent

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Aug 10 2024

Back at the chicken shack is not funky enough to make me not hate the rest of the album. 10 min boring jazz songs is a tough listen

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Aug 11 2024

Beats sucked, hooks were bad, rap was decent. this was an hour long grind.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Aug 12 2024

I get it’s old and he’s got a great voice, but boy this is boring stuff.

Aug 13 2024

Pretty sleepy jazz/blues. Second album started off hot then went back to the same boring choir songs. Not bad just wanted some more upbeat stuff

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Aug 14 2024

in the few songs where he actually made music, they sounded good. Can’t forgive him for the rest though. Especially the second song.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 30 2024

Great change of pace from what I’ve been getting recently. Good vibes, some good songs I’ve never heard either

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Aug 31 2024

Bangers from start to finish

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Sep 01 2024

Even the slow songs were pretty good, creepin’ was a low point but I liked most of these

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Sep 02 2024

Not the biggest fan of the whisper singing but the album started out great, the songs near the end all kinda blended together. A little too melancholic unless you’re in the mood

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 03 2024

I always liked their hits but never gave the albums a chance. This album is super good, no bad songs

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Sep 04 2024

Never listened to Willie before, this was just a pleasant experience

Live At Leeds by The Who
Sep 05 2024

Wasn’t bad but didn’t blow me away as it’s a live album with none of their mega hits on it. Seeing it 50 years ago would have been cool I guess

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Sep 06 2024

As far as 20 minute jazz songs go, this was surprisingly listenable just pretty boring. What are we doing here

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Sep 07 2024

No bad songs and the first like 6 are all excellent. Levon is a classic

Doolittle by Pixies
Sep 08 2024

Pretty weird but oddly compelling. Not sure how to feel about this one. The hits hit though

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Sep 09 2024

Not awful, but not a single song stood out. Generic 80s love album. Not 1 star territory but we can do better than this

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Sep 10 2024

Liked it a lot less than I thought I would, first few songs are good, last few are too, & Clint Eastwood slaps. The instrumental stuff in between I did not like as much

Play by Moby
Sep 11 2024

Basically movie soundtracks, which is good if you’re in the mood for it. Some duds some bangers

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Sep 12 2024

When I saw it was 4 songs and a 46 min runtime I was expecting much worse. Apart from the 8 minute monologue in the 4th song all the tunes were good. Instrumentals were great and his voice is buttery smooth. Was expecting him to say hello children at one point

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Sep 13 2024

I can’t give it 1 star cause she’s clearly talented with a nice voice, but this ain’t for me. House of the rising sun was cool though.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Sep 14 2024

Was definitely surprised by this one, African blues is not something I’d ever say I’d listen to on my own but some of these songs rock even though I have no idea what they’re saying. The last few songs aren’t my jam though but solid listen

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 15 2024

Starts off strong and while the middle sounds same-y there’s no bad songs. Finishes well too

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Sep 16 2024

With the First couple songs I wasn’t sure why prince was so popular to begin with. But album 2 and even the B side of 1 it got better. Still very 80s and housequake might be the worst song ever

Sep 17 2024

Sound quality is a bit of a miss but what a party this would have been to go to live. Still enjoyed it

American Idiot by Green Day
Sep 18 2024

Definitely biased with growing up with this album but it still rocks. Jesus of suburbia’s a top 10 song for me, the rest of the album is full of classics

OK by Talvin Singh
Sep 19 2024

Sounds like the soundtrack to a Bollywood action movie

Dare! by The Human League
Sep 20 2024

Might be the most 80est album of all time. Most tunes are catchy enough though.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Sep 22 2024

It’s a bit much but it was fun, singing kind of sucks but I guess that’s what they were going for. Music kinda rocked though

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Sep 23 2024

Killer voice and good instrumentals, also funky. A couple songs are duds though but no ones perfect

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Sep 24 2024

The acoustic songs in the first half are nice if although they all sound pretty similar. The rock songs in the second half are good though, though young Neil young voice sounds a little extra whiney. Still a great Canadian musician

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 26 2024

Some great songs, some bad songs, mostly average songs

1999 by Prince
Sep 27 2024

This was disappointing

Fragile by Yes
Sep 29 2024

Operation: play your instruments as fast as possible

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Oct 03 2024

Makes me wanna start an acapella group with the boys

Oct 04 2024

A lot better than I thought it’d be based on the name. What did John Barleycorn do to these guys

Document by R.E.M.
Oct 05 2024

End of the world is worth at least +1 star

Oct 06 2024

The first half has all the hits and they still slap, second half is the Eminem we all know and hate.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Oct 07 2024

Completely unremarkable punk music. A perfect 2.5 stars

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Oct 08 2024

Kinda boring but oddly nice sounding album. Good spooky season fall music

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Oct 09 2024

Each song is 2 mins too long. Anyone who gave this a 5 either speaks this language or is lying to themselves

Headquarters by The Monkees
Oct 11 2024

The beetles if they were mid

Tapestry by Carole King
Oct 12 2024

Super good

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Oct 14 2024

If this guys name wasn’t so cool id give this a zero

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Oct 15 2024

First song rocks, the rest are funky, last one is ridiculous

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Oct 17 2024

I can see why these guys never took off

Guero by Beck
Oct 18 2024

Out of all the artists that go by one name, Beck is one of them

Raw Power by The Stooges
Oct 19 2024

It was powerful

Achtung Baby by U2
Oct 20 2024

Pretty good bono, pretty good

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Oct 21 2024

Generic and whimsical folk music that I’d consider going on an adventure to

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 22 2024

Concrete jungle, high tide or low tide and stir it up are all real good. The rest is kinda boring and sound mostly the same. Still very easy to listen to

Gold by Ryan Adams
Oct 23 2024

Pretty fun album, too long though

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Oct 24 2024

Should be called incredible band with bongos

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Oct 25 2024

Incredibly unmarkable but not bad I guess

My Generation by The Who
Oct 26 2024

Not awful but certainly nothing great

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Oct 27 2024

More of a 4.5 cause the last couple songs aren’t as good, but everything else here slaps

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 28 2024

Not as good as raising hell and kinda repetitive

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Oct 29 2024

Feels like music they’d listen to in the matrix. This kind of hurt my ears but that’s the point?

Oct 30 2024

Super heavy handed with the message here, but the songs where they actually do music are good. The talking bits and repetitive beats made this a slog though. 2.5

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Oct 31 2024

Enjoyed this a whole lot more than expected. Super relaxing tunes and quality singing. A little boring at times but still good, coyotes a great tune

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Nov 01 2024

The opening songs and wish you were here were great, the rest just alright. Good album though

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Nov 04 2024

Having this and a Bollywood movie soundtrack back back made me quit the list for a week

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Nov 15 2024

Started off alright, but near the end became too much. I’ll pass

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 16 2024

All gas no breaks

Smile by Brian Wilson
Nov 17 2024

Maybe I don’t get this one, pretty nice though

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Nov 18 2024

A lot of songs sound similar but I have a soft spot for AC/DC so

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Nov 21 2024

Gimme shelter is pulling a lot of weight here. Good album though

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Dec 05 2024

Started off great then slowly died from there. Nothing bad though

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Dec 06 2024

Too long but alright to listen to

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Dec 07 2024

Good cause I like Johnny cash and seemed like a cool show, but why is it on the list

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Dec 08 2024

Luckily the album was short. Brutal cover of love hurts.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Dec 18 2024

Can’t really understand what he’s saying but catchy songs

Blur by Blur
Dec 19 2024

Feel like a Brit after this one innit

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Dec 20 2024

Some cool beats and funk but If I wanted to be yelled at for 45 minutes I’d talk to my mom

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Mar 03 2025

Jersey girls good but I feel like I’m getting yelled at in every song

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Mar 04 2025

Every song sounds the same but what do you expect from the 50s, at least it wasn’t jazz
