My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello

I've heard that it takes some time to "get" Elvis Costello's music. I'm not there yet.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 07 2024
Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Oct 11 2024

Funky. But I need to write reviews right after listening, not the next morning.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Oct 14 2024

I think it’s good/classic in some contexts, but I just don’t feel like jazz holds up well in recordings.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Oct 16 2024

Never heard the whole album. Definitely relistenable

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Oct 18 2024

Big fan

Dummy by Portishead

Blech

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 03 2024
Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Dec 05 2024

Never listened to any of his album. Knew a few and liked them all.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Dec 09 2024

Space Invader is sick. Brass in Pocket "I'm speccccialllll" worst song on album

Illmatic by Nas
Dec 10 2024

Not really my style at the moment, but with that in mind, I liked it.

Vespertine by Björk
Dec 12 2024

Not my fave Bjork, but Bjork always good

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 07 2025

Sang along to many of my old faves but still don’t know the words.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 09 2025
Jan 17 2025

Mellow and seems like some good messaging that could use another listen.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jan 20 2025

Without You = best song ever? He does Coconut, too? OMG Lamaze is cracking me up. I think I’m in love.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 28 2025

Grungy. They were never my faves from the era, but a good listen.

Green by R.E.M.
Feb 13 2025

Feels overrated

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Mar 07 2025

Interesting. Kinda dark obscure classic rock. Not sure I'd give a relisten.

New Forms by Roni Size
Mar 14 2025

Some solid grooves, but can't listen to more than one or two EDM songs in a row

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 19 2025

LIttle too raw for me at this point of my life

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 31 2025
Amnesiac by Radiohead
Apr 08 2025

Not my favorite RH album, but still RH 4/5

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Apr 09 2025

Never heard of this before. Lots of the messaging still applies today. Not particularly enjoyable to listen to, but powerful.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Apr 14 2025

Tremendous - want to relisten many times. Don't think I've ever listened to a Bowie album front to back.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 17 2025

Meh

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Apr 18 2025

A couple of songs on here I really dig - Half Past France and Paris 1919. Kind of a strange vibe to the whole album, but that intrigues me.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 21 2025

Lots of classics, I just don't really like Bruce's classics.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 06 2026

Into the Light - funky riff throughout. Seems like a good album to listen to while driving around delivering packages.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 09 2026

Stand - dancing at my desk. Funky outro. Sex Machine - sweet jam.

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 10 2026

First time listening to a Peter Gabriel album We do what we're told - Pink Floyd'esque Lotta classic singles

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Mar 12 2026

Love the bass walking in On Sir Francis Drake

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Mar 16 2026

First ever Black Sabbath album listen. I liked.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Mar 18 2026

Three songs in. Definitely a fave. Amandrai a nice deep blues groove. Would be fun to improv to. 5 stars since if the mood is right for this, it's perfect.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Mar 19 2026

Interesting. Maybe a relisten at some point, but a bit out there.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 23 2026

First ever listen front to back of this. Excellent top to bottom. Didn't realize it was from back in 1970. Wild.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Mar 26 2026

Seasick favorite song. Heavy alt early 2000's rock. Worth a relisten at some point.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Mar 27 2026

Like it. Perfect to just have on in the background during a hangout.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Mar 30 2026

I've heard that it takes some time to "get" Elvis Costello's music. I'm not there yet.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 31 2026

Worth a relisten. I felt cool listening to this.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 01 2026

It's classic, but IMO it doesn't hold up that well on a front-to-back listen. Kinda boring.

Homework by Daft Punk
Apr 03 2026

Some funkiness in there. Some fun songs to bop to. Some that were a bit grating.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Apr 06 2026

Indeed dark. Pretty emotional. Could be a go-to if I need to just wander around listening to something.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Apr 07 2026

Love it for what it is but don't love it for spending time listening to these days.

Metallica by Metallica
Apr 08 2026

Classic. A few duds, but overall ear candy.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 13 2026

Barbarism Begins at Home. Rad

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Apr 14 2026

Nice. Never listened to any Paul or Wings albums

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 23 2026

Liked it. Will give another listen.

Low by David Bowie
May 01 2026

Trippy and chill. Nice background or drugged up music.

Hotel California by Eagles
May 04 2026

Classic, just not something I'd seek out.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
May 07 2026

Nice if on mushrooms in a cabin somewhere, otherwise kinda dullish folk tunes.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 11 2026

Good stuff. Sounds like an early Bad Bunny. Heard part of his halftime show was to honor Willie Colon.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
May 13 2026

Maybe revolutionary, but not for me

Scum by Napalm Death
May 14 2026

I tried. Just can't get down with this kind of hardcore.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
May 15 2026

Distinctly cheese rock 80s. Don't think I'd seek it out.

The Cars by The Cars
May 25 2026

Ridiculously good album front to back

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
May 26 2026

Mayyyybe a relisten here or there, but prob not

Pink Flag by Wire
May 28 2026

Cool. Not my style, but cool for what it is - old school punk stuff

Konnichiwa by Skepta
May 29 2026

Cool. Not my style, but cool for what it is

Jun 04 2026

Not something I'd throw on, I don't think, but probably classic in some capacity.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jun 05 2026

Progressive and kinda cool. Bet it was super rad at the time. Not something I'd choose to listen to these days.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jun 24 2026

Could listen to this anytime in the background or just chilling

Tago Mago by Can
Jun 25 2026

Got too weird to finish
