Kala by M.I.A.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but sometimes this was a little bit too much noise for me. However, it has the song "Maps" which is one of my favourite songs.

pure valium.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim by Frank Sinatra

It's Bob Dylan being Bob Dylan. Meh.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie

Tical by Method Man

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye

The music was okay, but I'm not sure I like his voice

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan

Nevermind by Nirvana

Guitar Town by Steve Earle

Every song made me think of "Copperhead Road." So it was very meh.

Dirt by Alice In Chains

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra

Doolittle by Pixies

This is a bit different than I was expecting from Pixies. Still good, but not what I was expecting.

This album reminds me of my best friend who passed away, so it automatically gets a higher score.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela

The Clash by The Clash

Good old school punk

The Man Who by Travis

Another album that reminds me of my best friend. Very soothing and relaxing. Oh snap, I forgot Blue Flashing Light was a hidden track on this album! I had some angsty times with this song.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers

I have never heard of this band. It feels like dad rock. Honestly wasn't sure about this at first, but then I remembered that it's called "Southern Rock Opera" so when I looked at it through the rock opera lens it made more sense.

James Brown Live At The Apollo by James Brown

London Calling by The Clash

Ray Of Light by Madonna

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea by PJ Harvey

PJ is always a great listen and this album is so good.

"The End" is a pretty messed up song when you actually pay attention to it.

Sea Change by Beck

This album is super chill. I was already tired and it was very soothing.

xx by The xx

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi

This album makes me think of fires at our friend's cabin when I was young - this is one of the albums that was always being played on those nights.

Garbage by Garbage

give me everything from this era! This is around the time I really started getting into music and Garbage was right there with what I was listening to.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back by Public Enemy

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings reminds me of my grandparents. So he's kind of a good listen, but only in a nostalgic way.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods

This album makes me realize I should check out more non-English music. There's a whole world of music I'm missing out on. Having said that, this album is okay. It doesn't fit my mood today, but maybe another day?

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols by Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols always reminds me of a friend of mine, so it's always good. Except overall it's actually just okay.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Debut by Björk

Damaged by Black Flag

Not really in a punk mood today, but it was only 35 minutes, so that was a bonus.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) by The Kinks

The second half was way more instrumental than I was expecting and pretty dark.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson

I don't mind the earlier Michael Jackson albums. The later ones lost me, though.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

In Rainbows by Radiohead

Radiohead needs to be a little less depressing - not a good album for my mental health today. Also, I kind of miss the older Radiohead.
