Sep 25 2024

Not every song is an absolute banger, but 95% are. This was the soundtrack to my college years.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Sep 26 2024

lots of good cello and base, very upbeat, but not overly engaging. Good background, low-key music.

Ramones by Ramones
Sep 27 2024

I don't hate it but also don't love it. I don't think the punk scene is for me. It's high energy the whole way through the album but much of it is the same sound.

Arrival by ABBA
Sep 30 2024

I liked dancing queen and fernando, but the rest didn't resonate with me. I wouldn't seek it out but I wouldn't turn it off if it came on the radio.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Oct 01 2024

Some certified bangers on here, but it's not a 10/10 through the whole album.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Oct 02 2024

I enjoyed it while it was playing in the background, relaxing coffee shop vibes.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Oct 03 2024

I wouldn't normally seek this type of music out, but I enjoyed this style and the energetic sound behind it.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Oct 04 2024

Nice jazz album, I enjoyed the sound. Relaxing.

The Specials by The Specials
Oct 07 2024

I definitely hear the influence this band had on Sublime. I enjoyed the fast and the slower songs, all had a similar sound though.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Oct 08 2024

Another album of my high school and college years.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Oct 09 2024

Not for me. This has a generic 90's sound, it did not do anything for me.

Oct 10 2024

Love this album! I've liked lots of individual songs by this band, but haven't listened to this particular album. There was an a song another band covered, that I didn't realize was a cover!

London Calling by The Clash
Oct 15 2024

Typical sound, I don't hate it, but I'm not a huge fan either.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Oct 16 2024

I didn't finish it, there were a few tracks I enjoyed, but as a whole not my favorite.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Oct 23 2024

I'd wager a guess that Ween or Frank Zappa take inspiration from this.

Oct 30 2024

I've heard a lot about this band and was curious to hear their sound. I personally didn't love it, it's a very mellow, slow sound.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Oct 31 2024

Familiar with the Beach Boys sound but am lukewarm about it.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Nov 05 2024

Somewhat surprised, but I do enjoy most songs by The Police.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Nov 07 2024

Wasn't my favorite, very sad, low sound.

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 12 2024

I feel very lukewarm about Steely Dan. This album didn't particularly wow me.

More Specials by The Specials
Nov 14 2024

I enjoy this sound, I can definitely hear the bands they've inspired.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Nov 19 2024

I enjoy the 90s mellow sounds.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Nov 28 2024

Billy Joel is not my speed.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Dec 04 2024

I like the bluesy sound.

Quiet Life by Japan
Dec 06 2024

Sounds similar to the cure or synth style 80's bands.

Closer by Joy Division
Dec 11 2024

I liked the music but not this guys voice.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Dec 16 2024

Sounds similar to the cure or synth style 80's bands.

Sea Change by Beck
Dec 17 2024

I enjoyed this new sound when the album first came out, a slower more acoustic sound.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Dec 18 2024

I've heard about this band for years and not really stopped to listen, I really enjoyed their sound. An indie sound by very interesting.

Microshift by Hookworms
Dec 19 2024

I enjoyed their indie sound.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Dec 20 2024

Not my speed.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Dec 23 2024

Didn't dislike it but also didn't love it.
