Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Aug 07 2024

Good jazz album. Started a bit too abstract, but I quite liked it.

London Calling by The Clash
Aug 13 2024

The Clash is better than I thought.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Aug 14 2024

Very good jazz. A bit more fast paced than the stuff I usually like, but very good nonetheless.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Aug 15 2024

Good blues, but nothing that special?

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Aug 16 2024

Good prog rock album. Not something I'd listen to every day, but has its place.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Aug 19 2024

Amazing album. Such chill, but powerful music.

OK by Talvin Singh
Aug 22 2024

A surprisingly unique album! Very interesting mix of Indian music with electronic. Not exactly my kind, but can see how it's considered a good album for the originality.

One World by John Martyn
Aug 23 2024

Very chill, bit of psychedelic album. Quite enjoyed it, and listened to it at work. If listening to at home, would probably like it even more. Probably worth a re-listen to later.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Aug 25 2024

Indie chill, but I don't see why it's in the list.

Aug 26 2024

Another cool psychedelic album. I don't even remember half of these songs in the movie, though.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Aug 28 2024

Fun 90s electronic album. A bit outdate, but can definitely see why it was popular back then.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Aug 30 2024

Interesting indie punk album. But not really my vibe.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Aug 31 2024

Great funky jazz album. The song that gives name to the album is such a great classic.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Sep 01 2024

Just sounds like a very generic 80s pop album? It changes a bit the genre throughout the album, but still nothing special.

Faust IV by Faust
Sep 02 2024

Krautrock. Another psychedelic voyage. Like some moments where it breaks the musicality.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Sep 10 2024

Classic afro jazz album. I was expecting more, but not bad. Felt a bit repetitive.

Imagine by John Lennon
Sep 11 2024

He was better with the beatles...

Kala by M.I.A.
Sep 13 2024

Extremely unique album. A mix of so many different styles. Something a bit electronic vibes, but oldsh style, some part almost a bit folkish , a lot of influence from pop, a lot of rap.

Sep 14 2024

Good slow paced, but deep jazz. The types that would play in a fancy NY rooftop in a movie. Probably a bit too busy to have just as background music, but great if you want to actually pay attention to it.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Sep 16 2024

Such an amazing album from Black Sabbath. Makes me want to go back and start a band again.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 17 2024

Such a funky album! Liked it much better on the second listen than the first.

War by U2
Sep 18 2024

Liked more than I thought I would, given it's U2. Sunday Bloody Sunday continues to be a great song.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 21 2024

Apparently not really my thing? Felt like a totally forgettable album.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Sep 22 2024

One of the best of the 80s, which is definitely not my favourite decade. Feel like I should give it a 4, but still felt like giving a 3 for some reason. Great classic songs, and even the more unknown ones do not disappoint.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 24 2024

When the worst song in your album is Black Mountain Side you know it meant something.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Sep 26 2024

Just a stellar album. Such a shame we lost her so early!

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Sep 27 2024

As much as he is an asshole, one can't deny that this is a great album

Tapestry by Carole King
Sep 28 2024

Really reminds me of Janes Joplin, but a bit more pop style.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Sep 29 2024

Not a bad album, but just felt like quite generic blues? I imagine it was probably perceived as a bit more groundbreaking when it first came out.

Green by R.E.M.
Sep 30 2024

I liked it way more than expected, given that I'm not someone who listens to REM very often. They definitely have their style.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Oct 01 2024

Definitely a side of the stones that I didn't know! Way more "country" than I expected!

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Oct 02 2024

Think I expected more from an Elton John album? Not bad, but I usually like him more than I liked that album

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Oct 03 2024

It's fun how much early rock and roll was very country like. But I liked it more than I expected, as I'm usually not that much of a fan of 50s music!

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Oct 04 2024

Not bad, but not really my thing? I'd probably listen to most type of jazz before really enjoying this album.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Oct 05 2024

Surprisingly cool little rock band. Nothing that special, but was a fun listen and something new to discover.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Oct 06 2024

Like Whitesnake, but a bit more glam and worse.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Oct 07 2024

Even though her music is quite "basic", it's ridiculous how good to listen to it is. 15 years listening to this stuff and it doesn't get any worse.

Abraxas by Santana
Oct 11 2024

Sublime as always

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Oct 12 2024

The day I discovered that Capital Inicial's song is actually a cover from Iggy Pop! Good album, but very different style of songs throughout it? Almost doesn't feel cohesive, despite them individually being good!

Among The Living by Anthrax
Oct 13 2024

It's almost comical how bad some of these heavy metal bands are.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Oct 15 2024

Not my favourite Radiohead album, but definitely a good one! It's interesting that it sounds a bit more raw than usual, like if it was their first album, rather than one of the more recent ones. Also gives me quite a bit of Muse vibes (although the influence certainly is in the other direction, haha)

Sheet Music by 10cc
Oct 16 2024

A surprisingly good album!! Had never heard about the band before, but way better than your average 70s rock band!

Third by Portishead
Oct 18 2024

Definitely did not expect the opening of the album in portuguese! Cool vibes, but a bit too abstract for my taste. Wouldn't listen to this often, but can definitely appreciate that it's good!

1989 by Taylor Swift
Oct 19 2024

There are some good songs here and there, but the majority is just sufferable. Very generic pop. The good songs save it from being 1*.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Oct 20 2024

Like a even more chill bee gees

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Oct 21 2024

Not as good as Meteora, but a great combination of rap and rock!

Sincere by Mj Cole
Oct 30 2024

Maybe electronic music was way more basic in the 2000s? But seem a very whatever album.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Oct 31 2024

So groovy! Much better than I expected. Had already heard of her before, but never stopped to actually listen to it.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Nov 01 2024

A 3 that is almost a 4! I usually don't like that style of music that much. Can get boring pretty easily, but he did in a masterclass way! Made me really enjoy a type of music that is usually not my taste!

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 02 2024

Less Reggae-y than I expected, and better than I was thought it was going to be!

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Nov 03 2024

Such a dreamy album! Deserves to be listened to under acid or shrooms!

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Nov 04 2024

A bit underwhelming. Very similar sounding from the beginning to the end. Little variance in flow.

Ramones by Ramones
Nov 05 2024

The popularization of punk
