Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson

Wow... that was fun. I didn't know Harry Nilsson before this, but did know quite a few of the songs. I'll listen to this again and dig into his other albums as well.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jul 21 2024

I had not heard this album prior to listening. It wasn't memorable. I didn't mind it, but doubt I would seek it out again.

Suede by Suede
Jul 21 2024

Nothing to see here.

Illmatic by Nas
Jul 22 2024

Not something I would listen to normally. Listened to it and it seems okay, but I most likely would listen again. So although it may be considered an all time great, I'd give it a personal 3.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jul 24 2024

I must not be aware of the significance of this album. I won't be giving it a second listen

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jul 25 2024

Seems like the individual tracks were just stretched to fill an album. The last song is almost 20 minutes of which the first 9 minutes were just spoken word. Then after reading the wikipedia article on the album, I'm pretty sure that was the case. Apparently the record label had lost their entire back catalog and needed all of their artists to record something. Anyway I appreciated Issac's vocals. But surely another album could have been chosen for this list. Either way I won't be listening to this again.

Tommy by The Who

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Aug 03 2024

Just OK, I enjoyed Living for the City and Higher Ground. But it's not something I go back to.

Homework by Daft Punk
Aug 04 2024

Not really an album to sit down and listen to.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Aug 05 2024

No bad, but not something I’d likely come back to.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Aug 06 2024

We get it... you've made your intentions clear. Over and over again. 10 songs and 42 minutes of basically the same thing. With the exception of the last track. Which was only slightly different. Not my taste.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Aug 15 2024

It is becoming obvious that the authors personal tastes, as opposed to the actual significance of an album, were used to define which albums we need to listen to before we die. Personally I find no reason this album is worth listening to again.
