Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Sep 28 2024

Kinda funky jam tunes. Pretty boomer-y but not bad.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Sep 29 2024

Pure noise pollution. Obviously influential but not my taste.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Oct 01 2024

Peak hillbilly/stoner/hippy jams plus a song from the office.

Illmatic by Nas
Oct 02 2024

Iconic. Best in class.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Oct 03 2024

Pretty cool but not something I would ever really listen to again. DKA Twigs starts to sound repetitive after like three songs.

Oct 05 2024

This album is over 2 hours. I didn’t even get through half of it, but I’ve heard better from Otis Redding and way better in Soul

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Oct 06 2024

“Punk”-type of metal. Started out good but got old fast. I like the instrumentation but hate the vocals.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Oct 07 2024

Eh. Beatles + Pink Floyd + 80s. Too long for me at 2 hrs. 2.5/5

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Oct 09 2024

Classical Pharrell - hip hop w/ rock and pop

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Oct 12 2024

Cool but somewhat unremarkable on the first listen.

Garbage by Garbage
Oct 13 2024

Was not expecting to like this at all but actually did in the end. Portugal the Man x Gorillas x Radiohead. Nice.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Oct 15 2024

It’s okay I guess if you can channel some inner crusty artsy hippiness and ignore the hideous harmonica every other song. 1.5 good songs on here but I’m pretty much never in the middle for this kind of music.

Fragile by Yes
Oct 17 2024

Not bad

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Oct 18 2024

Old school east coast style. It’s okay

Eagles by Eagles
Oct 19 2024

Pretty chill

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Oct 20 2024

Uh what

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Oct 22 2024

It’s alright but not often in the mood for this kind of music

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Oct 28 2024

Kinda gas actually. Mellow acoustic guitar with dramatic orchestral bits mixed in. A few duds throughout tho

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Oct 31 2024

Kinda cool. Kind of metal(core?)-ish with the clean vocal and dirty instrumentation switch off

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Nov 07 2024

Kinda mid but at least it’s not another mind-numbing boring pretentious rock album

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Nov 08 2024

At last it’s only 15 minutes, buts it’s 15 minutes I’ll never get back.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Nov 12 2024

I mean objectively this is good, but I’m never really listening to this kind of conscious music.

Nov 15 2024

Some great songs. Definitely worth the (re)listen, just not really my type of music.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Nov 16 2024

Babe I’m Gonna Leave You and Dazed and Confused are great songs. The rest - eh. I give it 3.5/5 but for its iconic-ness and influence it gets a 4.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Nov 17 2024

I like this more than I realized before. Really like it, but idk how often I would listen to this tbh. 4.6/5

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Nov 18 2024

Tracy Chapman is clearly a very good artist. Some really good songs on here with strong messages. However, I don’t see myself listening to this pretty much ever.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Nov 19 2024

Meh - not really my thing at all. And the more I hear Kate Bush’s voice the more I find it kinda annoying to be honest. 2.8/3

Goo by Sonic Youth
Nov 20 2024

Not my thing but at least better than the last Sonic Youth album I listened to (Daydream Nation).

Hotel California by Eagles
Nov 21 2024

It’s okay actually. Definitely a few duds but also a couple cool songs

Opus Dei by Laibach
Nov 25 2024

Kinda cool

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Nov 26 2024

It’s pretty good but starts to get boring after a while (2+ hrs long). Low 4

D by White Denim
Nov 27 2024

Grateful Dead x Radiohead. Eh

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Nov 28 2024

Incredibly mid. Low 3

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Nov 29 2024

Super mid low 3

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 30 2024

Even if I’m not gonna listen to this a lot, it has to be a 5. The storytelling, production, artistry are all second to none.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Dec 03 2024

Pretty classic bluesy rock, which isn’t really my thing but it’s okay for what it is.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Dec 04 2024

Lame ass, noisy, dissonant, punky rock. In the midst of that are the weird heroin-den-esque soundtracks. I hate both sounds. To their credit this sounds pretty novel for 1969 and it sounds pretty influential - it just unfluenced a sounds I don’t like at all.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Dec 08 2024

Blues. Unremarkable. Only semi-highlight is Riders of the Storm

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 10 2024

Great album with some iconic tracks. Reggae is just not my thing tho…

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Dec 16 2024

It’s a little weird but it’s chill

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Dec 23 2024

It’s alright. Low 4

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Dec 28 2024

Better than most rock or hard rock I’ve heard. Child in Time is kind of a banger.
