Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Feb 29 2024

Felt like I listened to the same mediocre song on repeat. And then it got real religious. Definitely not in a good way

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Jul 18 2024

Of all the Britney albums, this one made the list? Preposterous! Adult me says this is one stinker of an album. Grade 9 me probably would’ve given it a 5. Even though it sucks I sang every single stupid song because I actually owned the album and apparently use precious memory space for bad song lyrics.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 12 2024

I was expecting to know and like most of these songs, but this album was pretty underwhelming

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Aug 16 2024

This was...different... Lots of alien abduction vibes. Would pair well with a light show at a planetarium.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Aug 22 2024

Meh. The music was fine. Couldn’t really get on board with the lead singer’s voice. It was unique. But not a good unique. Like an “I’m surprised this guy got a record deal unique”

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Aug 27 2024

Standard classic rock album. Good for camping trips and long car rides. I said “it’s got a real Eric Clapton vibe” and Kyle replied “that’s because it’s Eric Clapton”. Touché.

Aug 30 2024

Might be the first time I’ve listened to this album all the way through. She has a beautiful voice. Some songs are better than others (the x-factor is a favorite). I’d listen again!

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Sep 02 2024

I suspect there will be a lot of 1s and 5s for this. Either love it or hate it. So many of the songs sound like they would be in a horror film. It had me thinking “you okay, man? You seem pretty angry”

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Sep 03 2024

Didn't recognize any of the songs, but like their general vibe. Would definitely listen to this again

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Sep 04 2024

First time listening to her music and I was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful voice, interesting songs. I really liked the upbeat ones

Boston by Boston
Sep 05 2024

Wasn’t sure if I had listened to any of the songs on this album besides More Than a Feeling. They all sort of sound the same to me. Your typical classic rock album. I feel meh about it.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 09 2024

This was okay. I usually really like funk music but for some reason this didn’t really do it for me.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Sep 11 2024

Lots of nostalgia here, although I think his follow up album had better songs. Can’t say I love all the lyrics. And I feel bad that my parents had to listen to me listen to such atrocious language on a loud speaker!

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Sep 12 2024

I actually recognized a few songs. Pretty sure from my younger years at my grandma’s house. He’s no Kenny Rogers, but I enjoyed this album

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Sep 13 2024

I always appreciate the versatility of jazz. Can listen to it over dinner, while working on a puzzle, or just hanging out. I was surprised by how short this album was, but it’d be a great addition to any jazz playlist

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Sep 17 2024

Only recognized the first song. Apparently she was pretty big in the 80s. I don't really understand why (although This Woman's Work is spectacular). Waking the Witch was interesting... Overall, probably never need to hear this again (including Running Up that Hill...that song sucks. Ya I said it)

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Sep 18 2024

This was bizarre. His voice was Bowie-like but…cheesier? Some of the songs were very strange, but some of them were pretty good. It was comme ci, comme ca for me. Solid 3

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Sep 19 2024

This made me feel like I was on vacation, and if there’s anything I love, it’s vacation. Is it in Spanish? Is it Portuguese? I have no idea but I’ll listen again!

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Oct 02 2024

I like Arcade Fire and was expecting to love this. But after the first song (which is fantastic), the rest were sort of meh

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 15 2024

No surprises here. I enjoy reggae. It all sort of sounds the same to me, but I like the sound, so I’ll give it a 3

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Nov 11 2024

Thought I would like this more because Criminal is such a good song, but she sort of sounds like an okay lounge singer.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Dec 26 2024

I really like The Beach Boys. Somehow didn’t recognize any of those songs. It was okay

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
May 29 2025

Can listen to this on repeat. My favorite of her albums. Especially love Slow Burn, Butterflies, and Rainbow. The kids like it too!

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jul 04 2025

A solid 90s album. I used to listen to Mayonaise on repeat as a kid. Great lyrics, overall. Guessing people either love or hate Billy Corgan’s voice. I’m in the love camp
