The Wall by Pink Floyd
Sep 10 2024

Good album. Nice one to start with

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Sep 14 2024

very 70's funk industrial vibe. Actually dig it. Wouldn't say I love it, but I do dig it.

Queen II by Queen
Sep 17 2024

It was fine, standard Queen. Nothing that stood out to me, nothing wrong.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 18 2024

Weird, somewhat cool trippy ambient. Not bad, not sure I'd go back to it.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Sep 19 2024

Yup, it's exactly what you think it's going to be. Interesting, but probably wouldn't revisit.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Sep 20 2024

Pretty much as I remembered. Classic 80's.

Calenture by The Triffids
Sep 22 2024

Not horrible, but nothing to make me want to go back and hear it again

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Sep 23 2024

It was ok, but gave me no reason to listen to it ever again.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 24 2024

Now we're talking. Grunge is one of my happy places. Great album with tons of classic songs. Also, apparently, a ton of songs I really don't remember at all. Still a great album.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 25 2024

Great album, many classic hits on it.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Sep 26 2024

Unoffensive, but unremarkable.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Sep 27 2024

Fine for background, nothing that struck me as interesting.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Sep 29 2024

Yup, seems to be pretty much as advertised. Don't love it, but don't hate it.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Oct 02 2024

Good solid Rock. Nothing stood out as amazing, but it was good.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Oct 03 2024

Yup, sounds just like you'd expect early 90's post punk to sound. Nothing stands out as memorable, but it's not bad.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Oct 04 2024

One of my favorite albums of all time. Absolutely classic.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 05 2024

It was ok. Few good songs, few odd ones. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Oct 06 2024

Love it, It's funny how what seemed like such a heavy and hard album in my early teens now doesn't seem nearly as hard when comparing it to all the newer stuff. All in all a great solid album.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Oct 07 2024

Absolutely loved it. Was vaguely aware of her before, but will absolutely give her more of a listen to. This album is why I love this process. Finding gems like this.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Oct 08 2024

Good solid album, Not sure how I've missed listening to more of them.

The Yes Album by Yes
Oct 09 2024

Classic Yes. Few songs I knew, few I didn't. Solid decently good.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Oct 10 2024

Classic album from my college days, anything college days always hits a sweet spot. The 2 biggest songs from the album are the only ones I knew, but that's good enough for me.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Oct 11 2024

Very cool album. Easy to listen to and very chill. Enjoyed it.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Oct 12 2024

It was fine, nothing specifically stood out.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Oct 13 2024

It was fine, nothing stood out to me.

Vivid by Living Colour
Oct 14 2024

First Song alone gives it 4 stars. The rest of the album is fine.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Oct 16 2024

It was fine, first 2 songs were the best.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Oct 18 2024

Classic Doors, love the blues feel throughout. This is damn good stuff.

Doolittle by Pixies
Oct 19 2024

Good stuff, had some gems I'd forgotten. Odd mix of heavy and light songs.

2112 by Rush
Oct 20 2024

It's Rush, it was fine, but all tends to blend together to me. Nothing really stood out as outstanding.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Oct 21 2024

Not bad, recognized a song or two, but nothing amazing.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 22 2024

Great album. First 4 songs are as solid as it comes.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Oct 23 2024

Meh, thought I was going to like this, but it's way way to folky.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Oct 24 2024

Yeah, had decent hopes going into this when I realized I've never actually listened to any of his stuff. Now I'm thankful I made it this far. It's just bland and unengaging.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 25 2024

Started as Meh, but ended up kind of digging it. I'd give it another spin at some point and see how it goes.

Marquee Moon by Television
Oct 26 2024

It wasn't bad. worth a revisit.

Guero by Beck
Oct 27 2024

Really dig it. Love the variety of styles on the album. Apparently I like Beck.

Rio by Duran Duran
Oct 29 2024

Rio, It's a classic album from my happy era.

Woodface by Crowded House
Oct 30 2024

Wasn't bad. I'd give it another go.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Oct 31 2024

Sounded like what i'd expect it to. Nothing remarkable about it. Nothing offensive.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Nov 01 2024

Good album, didn't stand out in any way to me though.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Nov 02 2024

I dig it, good stuff.

Not bad, but nothing really stood out either.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Nov 05 2024

oh yeah..... good stuff.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Nov 06 2024

Rock, Rock, and a bit more rock just for good measure. Good stuff, but nothing outstanding.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 07 2024

Great album. Tons of classic's.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Nov 08 2024

Willie doing all covers. Interesting idea. Well done, but not amazing.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Nov 10 2024

Yeah, no. No clue why this is on the list.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Nov 11 2024

unexpectedly entertaining. Apparently I have a thing for old school Rap/R&B/Whatever this is.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Nov 14 2024

As much as I love country this was not the best it could have been.

Nov 18 2024

Good classic heavy metal. Funny how it's no where as near heavy to me now as it was back then.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Nov 19 2024

Nothing stood out, but not bad.

Tago Mago by Can
Nov 20 2024

Yeah, no. No clue what the heck that was.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Nov 21 2024

Interesting. Didn't mind it, but nothing stood out as amazing.

Nov 22 2024

Not bad, feels appropriate for the timeframe, but nothing grabbed me.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Nov 24 2024

Nope, horrible.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Nov 25 2024

I found this oddly pleasant. Would listen to him again.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Nov 27 2024

Good stuff from a good era. I'm in.

Mask by Bauhaus
Nov 28 2024

Entertaining sound. I'd listen to more of their stuff.

Nixon by Lambchop
Nov 29 2024

Not entirely sure what this is. Mellow. Lounge music. Very monotone. But not unappealing.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Dec 01 2024

Liked it. Knew the name, never gave her a listen. Would listen to again.

Dec 02 2024

Didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Still 3 stars for the big hits.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 06 2024

Meh, songs about murder and not much good about it. not bad, just not good.

Dec 13 2024

Was fine, didn't wow me.

Green by R.E.M.
Dec 14 2024

Good stuff.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Dec 15 2024

I fully get why it gets less than 3 stars on average. This, however, is what I came here for. Random unexpected gems. It's everything everyone says. Just happens to be I like it.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Dec 16 2024

Not bad, but nothing amazed me.

Fragile by Yes
Dec 17 2024

It's Yes. Just what you'd expect. Solid good album.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Dec 19 2024

Pleasant and chill, as expected. Reminded me of Wendy Woo, or I guess it's the other way around considering when each person is/was singing.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Dec 20 2024

1993 pop rock. Sounds as expected. not bad, nothing wowing.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers

Jan 01 2025

Was fine, didn't love it as much as i'd hoped to.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jan 08 2025

yeah, not doing much for me. I can see what they were trying to do, but it's like coffee with 2/3 the correct amount of beans. Just not there.

New Forms by Roni Size
Jan 17 2025

Nope. Tried to give it a try. Nope.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jan 19 2025

old punk. 'tis what it is.

OK by Talvin Singh
Jan 20 2025

Don't hate it, but it feels like the music is 2 different things, both of which would have been better on their own. The combination was less than the sum of its parts.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 21 2025
Different Class by Pulp
Jan 25 2025

Entertaining. Didn't love it, but would give them another listen.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jan 27 2025

Faith by George Michael
Jan 29 2025

Ohhh yeah, let's go back to those middle school dances. Good stuff.
