Popular Reviews

Bossanova by Pixies

Started heavier than I'm used to the Pixies being, but overall still entertaining album. I think others make for a better album if someone needed a where should I start kind of situation

This album cover always looked cool but I was afraid the music wouldn't live up to the imagery. Once I started reading H.P. Lovecraft and The King in Yellow (which Lovecraft referenced, maybe even co-opted) the image in my head turned even darker. 21st century schizoid man kind of fit the expectations and was cool. The rest just made me think classic rock about fantasy things. Basically, more flute than I expected or wanted. But preconceived notions aside, it was alright.

Had that 90's feel and rage. Doll parts stood out the most, but maybe because I've heard a line or two previously.

Marquee Moon by Television

Alright rock album. I think the cover art might be more iconic than the music itself. The music, for me, could blend in with some other bands without notice.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes

With a sound like classic American rock, that my brain right away wants me to like and enjoy, nothing actually stands out past the two songs that still get radio play today. And hard pressed, I probably couldn't have said those songs were by The black crowes prior to listening to this album

21 by Adele
Nov 08 2024

The songs I had previously already heard are still phenomenal stand outs. The songs that were new to me are alright, not bad, but not special compared to the others. The cover of lovesong was an unexpected good postmodern take.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Nov 09 2024

I already own this album and enjoy Lou Reed's voice /sound. Perfect Day is an all time favorite song. That said, the entire album evokes an atmosphere and mood that takes me away from my day for 36 Minutes.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Nov 09 2024

I've only sporadically liked Radiohead songs. I appreciate their abnormal sound and this album got me in an interesting headspace, but nothing lingers in my head after it's done. For better or worse, everything blurs together for me.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Nov 10 2024

Generally like rolling stones but this album was too much blues influence and I wasn't feeling it at the time. 'You can't always get what you want' is a top stones song for me and great note to end on.

Doolittle by Pixies
Nov 11 2024

Enjoyed the album overall. Handful of songs I heard before but didn't know where they came from originally. Could clearly hear the influence they gave some of the bands I regularly listen to

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Nov 12 2024

Had a childlike dream quality to it. That same quality caused me to loose focus on a lot of the album

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Nov 13 2024

Not a genre I regularly listen to, and therefore don't know much of its history. Which means I didn't know prior any historical merit of the album. A lot of the beats felt similar, almost to point of being repeated. Lyrics did nothing for me. Towards the end of the album I think I started to hear some influential qualities

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 14 2024

Fun listen. I have a few singles, never listened to a complete album. Enjoyable.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Nov 15 2024

Very chill and relaxing vibes. Not anything I was likely to come across on my own, or remember necessarily going forward, but I enjoyed the time we had.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Nov 16 2024

I always found white stripes sound enjoyable. Some songs hit better than others. This album, which I hadn't previously listened to in its entirety, felt the most together

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Nov 17 2024

Fun album from someone I hadn't heard of. Sounded equally from 90's, 00's and 70's.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Nov 19 2024

Enjoyable sound. Created a laid-back, reflective with own thoughts and feelings mood. Twisted didn't quite fit the mold, but was very entertaining breakaway and ending

Nov 20 2024

Started string with singles I've known and heard frequently. Starts getting a little bizarre in a fun way (Mr. Kite), then bizarre in a bit great way. Finished off ok.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Nov 21 2024

Enjoyable easy listening. Not much stuck in my head after one listen, but I wouldn't mind putting on again a few times

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Nov 22 2024

Epic release. Multiple genres mixed throughout. Would love to revisit at different pace

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Nov 23 2024

I don't know much about jazz, but seemed like a good seamless flow.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Nov 24 2024

Enjoyable sound, with a momentum that doesn't stop until the entire album is over. After only one listen I have time for, no songs stood out on their own

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Nov 25 2024

Quintessential early 90's Rock, punk sound from someone I thought I hadn't heard of. This album predates Marcy Playground, but reminded me a lot of Marcy Playground specifically.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Nov 26 2024

Always liked Elliot Smith without really being able to narrow down why. His sound feels stripped and reflective, as if a soundtrack to inner monologues.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Nov 27 2024

Chill, funk, lounge album. Strawberry letter 23 instant ear worm.

Nov 28 2024

Frank's voice can't be denied. It's classic. The jazz was nice and smooth, never overpowering the vocals. Everything was just nice and pleasant, but nothing uniquely stood out

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Nov 29 2024

Great punk momentum and fun through most the album. Turn blue went a little too long for me.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nov 30 2024

Classic rock funk combination with so many hits on one record

Teen Dream by Beach House
Dec 01 2024

Calm indie music. Not a lot stood out during one listen.

Sea Change by Beck
Dec 02 2024

Easy listening / indie rock. Some songs had great sound scapes.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Dec 03 2024

Just sounds like a live classic rock album. Nothing negative to say.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Dec 04 2024

Quintessential 80's rock sound. Done alright, just not my vibe

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Dec 05 2024

Spotify only had 3 songs of the album. What I heard just reminded me of lion king.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Dec 06 2024

Alright. Other than Mr. Blue sky nothing stood out to me and it will mostly be forgotten

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Dec 07 2024

Alright music, nothing stood out to me though

British Steel by Judas Priest
Dec 08 2024

Really good heavy metal. Maybe it just got assigned when that's what I was in the mood for, but had fun with the album

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Dec 09 2024

Chill rap album. A few really good and fun. Nice use of PlayStation boot up.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Dec 10 2024

Good sounding live album. Alright rock songs.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Dec 12 2024

I'm not sure what this was. Started strange and too much, then got good, then got to be going on too long and was annoying, then kept going and back to good. As a whole album I think it works and I enjoy the ride. Nothing stands out individually, and I'm not sure how I would feel about it piece meal.

Metallica by Metallica
Dec 13 2024

Staple of teenage years. Great album with a lot of unforgettable songs up front. It always lost steam for me near the end

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Dec 14 2024

Not my style, but sounded alright and fun. Nothing in particular stood out. Maybe I was distracted but everything kind of blended together.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Dec 15 2024

Not a big fan of reggae or anything weed related, but this was chill and calming album. Hit well

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Dec 16 2024

Softer indie rock. Simpler sound but enjoyed the time.

Marquee Moon by Television
Dec 17 2024

Alright rock album. I think the cover art might be more iconic than the music itself. The music, for me, could blend in with some other bands without notice.

Dec 18 2024

I was already some what familiar with the streets and very surprised to see an album on this list. In my experience he's a very acquired taste. Loved this album album, start to finish. It told a story, that by the end I was just hanging on to see what happened. I always felt his music itself was on the simpler side of things, but it really gives the vocals and lyrics the chance to shine. The previous albums I knew, I don't recall being a story start to finish, so this concept was unexpected and executed wonderfully.

Diamond Life by Sade
Dec 19 2024

Jazzy, lounge sound with smooth vocals. Not my favorite music but nothing negative to say. Good easily turn on for any moment to have some background noise

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Dec 20 2024

Sounded like a mix of early rock, surf rock, rockabilly. It was okay, felt like the album went a bit long, so I guess that's not my style. Handful of songs I've heard all my life and never knew the artist.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Dec 21 2024

Started off good, had calm reflective feeling to it. Probably would've been better if I hadn't had such a busy day. The birthday song was weird and out of place

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Dec 23 2024

I enjoy this band but feel like they're an acquired taste, and stereo settings need to be on point, if not extra loud (in a car) to hear vocals and different instruments or else it easily goes into just noise. But it a good album

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Dec 24 2024

I enjoy ccr's sound and have nothing bad to say about the album. I think there are better songs of theirs out there, but none of these are bad. The whole thing was enjoyable, and despite some longer songs I was still surprised when the album was over.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Dec 25 2024

Lots of funk and interesting sounds going on throughout the album. Felt very different but enjoyable exploration. Superstition is a classic

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Dec 27 2024

Not a fan on country music or twang, but given that it was an alright album. She has a nice voice and it was calm music.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 28 2024

This album reminded me why I don't like red hot chilli peppers. Some songs were good, and memorable hits, but for the most part I was waiting for it to end

Close To You by Carpenters
Dec 29 2024

It was okay. A few classics, but most easily forgettable to me. Last song I was just waiting to end and hoped it was the last

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Dec 30 2024

Enjoyable start to finish. Nothing pulling me to jump back in right away, but seemed good smooth jazz.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Dec 31 2024

Some really good songs that I can never remember are by Depeche Mode, mixed with a lot of others I don't care for and easily forgot.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 01 2025

Just okay. Reminded me of death cab

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 02 2025

Classic trip-hop. Chill vibes

Bossanova by Pixies
Jan 04 2025

Started heavier than I'm used to the Pixies being, but overall still entertaining album. I think others make for a better album if someone needed a where should I start kind of situation

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 06 2025

Hey hey, my my and it's inverse are great timeless songs. Everything in between was good, but I won't remember as well... Except maybe Pocahontas.

1999 by Prince
Jan 07 2025

Alright album, had fun listening till the end. Songs near the end started to go too long

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 08 2025

Most of vocals were clear and often humorous. Decent chill beats.

Jan 09 2025

Was not expecting dance album on this list and pleasantly surprised. A remix of muscle car has always been a guilt pleasure since I first heard so again, pleasantly surprised to hear the original and the songs it was originally packaged with. Fun album

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jan 10 2025

Alright indie rock punk. Perfect small rowdy venue sound

Jan 11 2025

Never listened to a Dylan album. Thought his voice was annoying. This album wasn't a bad one to listen to. Glad to hear Maggie's farm. Last track I got bored with

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jan 12 2025

Okay jazz album. After awhile, I felt like it wasn't ending

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jan 14 2025

The album is okay here and there. Some good sampling. However, beastie boys have always sounded like a group of friends that are constantly interrupting each other and laughing at themselves. A group of friends that you don't hate to run into, but just weren't really in the mood to see at most moments. A full album didn't change that feeling

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 15 2025

Fun synth pop album. No complaints, but no outstanding love

Jan 16 2025

Starts with timeless U2 bangers and then goes into some alright but ultimately forgettable rock, lots of reflection feels (makes sense on an album called Joshua tree). Got a bit bored halfway through. Exit peaked me back briefly. Might just not have been in the mood

Jan 18 2025

Powerful, deeply soulful and triumphant singing. Good covers of songs, but once album is over I can't remember which songs they were. They were great, but at same time failed to leave lasting impression. Right on cusp of 5 Star for me.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jan 19 2025

A lot of instrumental High fantasy rock. Could picture older animation happening during most of the album. Nutrocker was kind of cool, but I can't picture ever being in the mood to listen to the album again

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jan 20 2025

Fun score to a non-existent film. I always enjoy a concept album of that nature. Some things reminded me of "Lost Highway" only to discover this artist did work for that soundtrack. It all makes sense now

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jan 21 2025

Once in a lifetime is great classic. The rest was alright rock, pop mix. Whatever talking heads sound is described as

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jan 22 2025

Upbeat 80's synth pop. Entertaining background but nothing memorable enough to be stuck once album over.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jan 23 2025

Not any David Bowie I was already familiar with, nothing stuck really well, but it was solid enjoyable listening experience. Not as much experimental stuff going on like some of the mid 2000's albums of his I've listened to

B-52's by The B-52's
Jan 24 2025

Just fun goofy rock. Some better than others but I can understand how it set the stage for bands that came later that have similar style

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 25 2025

Good variety of sounds and pleasant listening experience

Jan 26 2025

Has a voice that commands to be heard, which is refreshing to a live recording. I feel like vocals get muffled a lot. Anyway, enjoyable upbeat (even the romantic song). Sounded like a fun place to be. Can't picture anyone walking out the club upset

Jan 27 2025

Chill laid back instrumental. Sounded great in background to reading. Weird transition towards end of first song, where I thought my streaming service was getting spotty connection.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jan 28 2025

Powerful voice. Enjoyable listening experience. Two songs stood above and sort of dwarf the others to me.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jan 29 2025

This album felt like it would never end. Just The longest live show ever, with nothing really happeening. I suppose that's expected from a jam band. Parts with vocals were okay songs, but even those felt like they went on too long. I think the only way I would recognize grateful dead's (or dead & co's) sound is by how long it went on for. If things were around 7 minutes or less I'd probably give it a two star (which to me means it's not bad, it's listenable, just wasn't right, or n this case great, to me. Nothing I'd choose to listen to again, but not mad if someone else put it on, infrequently. However, the wanting things to desperately be over made me grow to loath the album.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 30 2025

Great electric guitar sound. Some amusing lyrics. Classic rock that had my foot moving almost the entire time and constantly wanting to break into air guitar, wether I was zoned out on vocals or not

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jan 31 2025

Fun non stop metal. Lots of air drumming

Feb 01 2025

Some classic Eminem hits on this album. Most unfamiliar songs were really fun and different. "Skits" were hit and miss.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Feb 04 2025

Nice, truly classic sounding, jazz / lounge vocalist. Amusing hearing her sing through not knowing words, but still working the tone and pitch

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Feb 05 2025

Alright ambient electronic. Nothing stood out to me though

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Feb 06 2025

Feels like it's supposed to be lyric driven ...rock, pop, alternative... Not sure how to describe it, but most of it just didn't resonate with me.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Feb 07 2025

Good intro to the band and hints at what they would accomplish creatively later. A few of their hits, all of their speed and aggression.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Feb 08 2025

Good Bowie, with lite rock elements. Some classics Bowie hits appear, but they're probably my last favorite of his hits. (Possibly burnout for life on 'changes', and that's hard to overcome)

Feb 09 2025

Nice album to spend a quite hour to myself with. Nice calming, clear voice with music that lets you take it all in and listen to the words and let them sink in. Might be only two songs I can remember by name and want to come back specifically for, but I can see myself listening to more of him (or this specific album again) just to hear his voice and tone again. An impact was left, and it wasn't necessarily because of any of the lyrics.

Medúlla by Björk
Feb 10 2025

Hauntingly beautiful. Felt like I should've listened to well after dark. Last track lost the haunting aspect. Still beautiful voice and sound cool, but haunting doesn't apply

Feb 11 2025

Never thought I'd like Coldplay, but the only song I knew for sure that I didn't like was that yellow song (not on this album). After listening to an entire album, this was really enjoyable and a relaxing listen. Wouldn't mind listening to again

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 12 2025

Nothing stood out to me about this album. Maybe I didn't give it enough attention, but it also didn't grab at me in any way. Sounded like he was a good musician and singer. The album frequently reminded me of 90's easy listening or contemporary rock. Not sure if this a great album because he originated that sound, or he did it best in some regard, but it just wasn't anything to me.

Feb 13 2025

As mentioned, very much electronic ambient music. Not what I was expecting from the Aphex Twin I did know. Good music to get some things done to, but I don't know how to rate ambient. It success at what it is, but it doesn't stand out much to me. It doesn't beg for this album (or songs) specifically to be relistened to or discussed with others, but none of it was annoying. None of it went on too long

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Feb 14 2025

I liked the sound of the vocals. Had a classic rock sound and was enjoyable

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 15 2025

Nice voice and piano. Always heard the name but never listened to anything. I knew the opening lines to criminal. Overall it was an enjoyable listen and left a favorable impression of the artist

Black Metal by Venom
Feb 16 2025

The album certainly lives up to its title. Seemed like a good intro album to anyone interested in black metal. Aggressive sound, demonic lyrics that were surprisingly understandable and still had an edge to the vocals, in a not overwhelming time span. (The reissue with a 2nd CD of 12" versions, got a little long and boring, but I don't think that's the version considered to be great).

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Feb 17 2025

Pleasant singer song writer experience. Calming and reflective

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Feb 18 2025

Kind of cool dark pop. Hard for others to stand out alongside running up that hill, but a few do

Feb 19 2025

I like indie stuff but this did nothing for me. Didn't hate it, but nothing really cought me or stood out

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Feb 20 2025

Alright indie/ alternative rock. Biggest take away was hearing original song I knew was samples elsewhere but never looked into before (so nothing stood out significantly)

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Feb 21 2025

Pleasant instrumental (if words they were in foreign language and just blended with rest of music).nothing stood out except the artists name.

Timeless by Goldie
Feb 23 2025

Electronic trance music. Not entirely sure how to rate it. Sounded good, but also nothing stood out to separate it from others things I know. Not even sure if it was good enough to have the artist's name stand out

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Feb 24 2025

With a sound like classic American rock, that my brain right away wants me to like and enjoy, nothing actually stands out past the two songs that still get radio play today. And hard pressed, I probably couldn't have said those songs were by The black crowes prior to listening to this album

London Calling by The Clash
Feb 25 2025

The album art and the title song are great, undeniable classics, but the rest of of the album doesn't do anything for me. None of the songs match the tone or feel that London calling conjures up. I do kind of like the last song, but by the time the album gets to it I was ready to be done. Also, book end songs that I enjoy don't really save the album.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Feb 26 2025

Enjoyable voice and listening experience

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Feb 27 2025

Alright synth pop or new wave (not sure in difference. As the album went on I was getting more and more bored. Unrelated to my vote, not at all what I pictured something titled Steve McQueen to sound like

Feb 28 2025

The audio quality for a live album was surprisingly good. Vocals were remarkably clear. But, it was still just a Motorhead album. I wanted to bang my head and run in circles like a maniac, but I'm not sure I'll ever remember one Motorhead song from another. Except Ace of Spades.

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 01 2025

I like in your eyes, and big time was a bit fun. Sledgehammer, which I've heard of previously, did nothing for me. Very 80's sounding rock, pop rock even. Not for me. Other than songs listed above, it's all boring music to me.

Mar 02 2025

Found the album pretty entertaining. Decent flow and solid beats that kept me interested

Mar 03 2025

Funnier than I expected. Overall it was decent beats and flow. Easily distracted, but for the most part it did a good job of keeping my attention

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 04 2025

Fun poppy rock album. Was familiar with a few songs already, the ones that were new to me didn't blow me away, but overall enjoyed the listen and the energy

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Mar 05 2025

I enjoy his voice, probably because it makes me think of toy story. Only lyrics that stood out was singing about America, and then multiple songs about Ohio.

Mar 06 2025

Kind of mind blown. Never heard of the band, didn't know what to expect. It sounded both vaguely familiar and completely different all at once. Songs used different unique sounds. Vocals felt like they slightly carried between songs. Not a lot of lyrics stuck with me, but all the songs had elements that sounded different from one another (so not sounding like one song blending into another), yet still tied together. I'm looking forward to listening to the album again to let it sink in more; listen for more that I didn't catch on the initial listen.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Mar 07 2025

Was already familiar with this album and really love it. It has some truly great songs on it. There are some songs I usually skip through cause they don't hit as well. Kind of hate there is 'use somebody' and 'be somebody' on the same album. I really like one and not fan of the other, and can never remember which until I give them a listen

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 08 2025

Does nothing for me. Just boring music to me. I don't hate it. Don't lose this number is okay, but possibly only because of its familiarity from radio play. Nothing else stood out to me in anyway

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Mar 09 2025

Tried to be impartial, but I just don't like the style. Everything just made me think of a sad, quite, sparsely populated bar. Some of the lyrics were entertaining, but again, didn't enjoy the style. Thankfully it was a short album

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Mar 10 2025

Ambient electronic that didn't do much of anything for me. Easily forgettable. I know the band name, but not sure why I know it if the rest of their work was anything like this

Mar 11 2025

Starts off with really good beats and sounds. Towards the end it started to loose me, but overall I enjoyed it more than I wanted to

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Mar 12 2025

Well I fucked up on this one. The album refered to is relatively short and good jazz. I unknowingly listened to the complete version, which clocked in over 2 hours and had multiple introductions and "that's it folks." The spoken parts were rather annoying to have constantly throughout a live album (pick one introduction, limit endings). I don't feel like going back and listing to the shorter, original album, but I don't think being more condensed will up my rating anyway. Jazz doesn't blow me away or beg me to listen to that particular album again right away (my criteria for higher vote)

Crazysexycool by TLC
Mar 13 2025

Pop or R&B, whatever combination this is considered just doesn't do anything for me. I remember liking 'waterfalls' as a kid, relistening to it didn't hit the same. Heard way more cheesy porn music sound in it, that I don't remember haha. What seemed like lots of repetition of the album title during skits or interludes and I found it a little annoying.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Mar 14 2025

Engaging beat for most of album. Lyrics don't do anything for me. Curious how many songs I heard prior and assumed were snoop solely because he was the singer.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Mar 15 2025

This is the 80's kind of music I like. A couple classics, a few others early on that were new to me and sounded good. 2 songs were really boring though. But overall I enjoy the darker synth wave sound of the album.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Mar 16 2025

Don't outright hate it. But not sure why it is on this list. Did absolutely nothing for me

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 17 2025

Perhaps right place right time, but found this album beautiful and relaxing, except for a few random out bursts that happen throughout. But not sure if I could be able to name the album or artist if I ever heard the pieces again

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Mar 18 2025

Found this Beastie Boys album less annoying than the last one from this list. Sabotage was always a standout as a song of theirs that I did enjoy. What seemed like lots of instrumentals on this. Some sections even felt like jam band territory, which was unexpected (and not wanted).

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 19 2025

Love the offspring. High energy, fun album. Only one song has a slow intro that kind of ruins the flow. I will admit that I'm hindsight, one song can be hard to distinguish from another in a few instances

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Mar 20 2025

Surprisingly a bit heavier than I anticipated (based solely on 'smoke on the water') and that's not a complaint. It was alright 70's era rock

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Mar 21 2025

A bit twangy but really enjoyable and oddly comforting sound. Reminded me of the intro to an older movie or television show but couldn't place what exactly

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Mar 22 2025

Nice calm voice, clear lyrics. Enjoyable time, but only 'julio and me down by the school yard' is the only song I'll remember as Paul Simon

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 23 2025

A lot of fun catchy pop music, that despite being about break ups a lot of the time, was pretty fun

The Libertines by The Libertines
Mar 24 2025

Okay Britt rock from early 00"s. Nothing really great, but nothing bad about it

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 25 2025

Enjoyable time, even if most songs were about being separated from a woman in one way or another. Had a bit of a timeless feel to them. I hope I can remember the artists name in a week or so

Mar 26 2025

Unmistakable 80's synthwave sound. First few songs each sounded like they incorporated a different genre's influence. Interesting approach, but ultimately I found the album boring

OK by Talvin Singh
Mar 27 2025

Kind of interesting to have the India influence with the electronic dance music. Not really for me though. Just became interesting background noise, or probably dance floor break song to rest feet and just bang head for a lil bit

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Mar 28 2025

I grew up in a doors household, so a little biased. Morrison has a unique voice and I think the band has an early good incorporated use of synth (or something that sounds like synth). Good songs, I think there are better ones, but I don't think I'd turn off any doors album once it started

War by U2
Mar 29 2025

Sunday bloody Sunday is my favorite u2 song and I could listen to it alone on repeat for awhile. The rest of the album was enjoyable rock and left me with a more favorable opinion of U2 than others albums have.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Mar 30 2025

Goofy, but fun lyrics. Alright rock from the era

Slipknot by Slipknot
Mar 31 2025

Solid entry to numeral genre. Some good metal songs, some forgettable. Wait and bleed is such in my head.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Apr 01 2025

Weird but fun pop music. Some more fun than others. Random thoughts while listening: does Cyndi play harmonica herself? Is this UFO noises? Is she trying to be Betty boop? Is she breaking?

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Apr 02 2025

This album had few and far between glimpses of potential, but mostly sounded like random noise to me

Live! by Fela Kuti
Apr 03 2025

Not sure if this was jazz or something more tribal, but it sounded good. Especially for being live. Kind of nice to have description for song titles

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Apr 04 2025

The Smiths vibes. Tried to pay attention to lyrics but nothing really stuck as being memorable

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 05 2025

Good voice. Nostalgic feel almost throughout. Old man and heart of gold are timeless classics. Would listen to again and try to pay more attention to it, but hard not to skip straight to those two songs and listen on repeat

Forever Changes by Love
Apr 06 2025

Started off with potential. Sounded from the era but like they were trying stuff others weren't and I appreciated the slight mix up, but about halfway through I got bored

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Apr 07 2025

Nice pensive voice and mood. Wish I would've listened in the evening, or better yet at dusk, to really set a proper mood. Didn't think too much would stick with me, but now that it's stopped I want his voice to keep going, even if 'The Ocean' repeats those words a lot, and "papa's going to kiss those Ruby red lips" is a bit odd.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 08 2025

Pretty biased on this one. Never like Eddie's voice. Lots of popular songs on this album. Good rock and I can appreciate for the time this sounding pretty different, but the voice kills a lot of it for me

Apr 09 2025

Found it kind of underwhelming. Killer queen has always been a fun one but the rest of the album didn't really do anything for me. And slightly annoyed the song sheer heart attack isn't on this album

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Apr 10 2025

At first it reminded me of Beck. Then of coffee shop music. Then a house band, that you'd rather play quieter so you can hear your friends talk, this isn't the band you paid to see anyway. Not for me

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Apr 11 2025

90's girl punkish rock sound. Not sure if it qualifies as riot grrl. But it was fun energy. I like that style and while a lot doesn't stick with me, I could have the album in my driving cd rotation for awhile

2112 by Rush
Apr 12 2025

Unique vocal sound. The only rush song I knew prior was Tom Sawyer, so entire album was new to me. It's just good classic rock. Not anything annoying, nothing truly amazing to me tho.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Apr 13 2025

First disc was better than I'd like to admit. Albeit some songs felt like they went on too long. Got bored by disc 2. But has classic led Zeppelin sound which is hard to deny being good

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Apr 14 2025

Alright electronic. More fun than some of the ambient stuff this list has on it. Personally I like bass heavy stuff more and I don't get that until 'Don't give up', and it was the only one that fit my tastes. Album wasn't standout enough to get me to seek out more from the group (which I've heard of, always seen albums for, never checked out prior.)

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Apr 15 2025

Third time this group has popped on this list. The best one I've heard yet, just because it had a bunch of hits on it. But the songs that were new to me were just classic beastie boy sounding songs - meaning they were slowly annoying than anything else. But this is their album that I'm most willing to give another try. Really hope they're done appearing on this list

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Apr 16 2025

Folky and unexpected. Made me think of the wickerman, but it's not quite that. However, it was annoying to have 3 versions of one song

Scum by Napalm Death
Apr 17 2025

Um. Not sure how this got on the list, unless it was just first of it's kind. Very hard to distinguish difference between each song. I like some death metal with undistinguishable vocals, but those tend to have some sort of rhythm to the rest of the music. This was just non stop thrash. But five minutes felt the same as the entire 30+ minutes.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Apr 18 2025

Didn't stand out in anyway. Didn't hate it. But almost instantly rogot what I listened to

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Apr 19 2025

Alright rock. Easy listening? Variety of instruments used. Didn't move me to love or hate it

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Apr 20 2025

I already knew of tricky and have a few albums. Never listened to this one before. Decent trip-hop (I think that's the genre). None of the songs stuck with me like some of his other stuff does but It was an enjoyable hour

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Apr 21 2025

It was okay. Only memorable things were a song about Jesus and what I assume to in a source song for moulin rouge.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Apr 22 2025

Already own this album, already enjoy it. Good glam rock, pop rock. Doesn't go as heavy as I always imagine the album cover implies (and that album cover alone is iconic), but a lot of catchy songs the more I listen to. Never disappointed when it gets played. Bang a gong (get it on) was my intro to T. Rex and is featured here

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Apr 23 2025

Classic talking heads sound. Didn't do much for me except for psycho killer is always amazing. The rest of the album easily forgettable for me

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Apr 24 2025

Not my style but had some classic and fun beats. One song near the ended sounded like it was skipping though and it was annoying. Could've been a bad download from Spotify

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Apr 25 2025

Good collection of instrumentals. Some I think I even recognized, but can't place where from. Nothing bad to say. Don't imagine myself remembering this one

Heroes by David Bowie
Apr 26 2025

Some fun Bowie. The classic Heroes is on the album and it's hard to deny. A few instrumentals towards the end that kind of felt out of place, but good album overall

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Apr 27 2025

Cowboy and bawditba (spelling) are guilty pleasures, albeit "chicks with beepers". Is very dated. Kind of fascinating to hear Eminem on a track. Lots of funk beats. Alright storytelling with some of the lyrics. Have to separate art from current artist. 'i am the bullgod' making an appearance twice was unnecessary

Apr 28 2025

Alright "experimental". Would like to listen to again in a better setting, not doing anything else. But it wasn't ear sharing noise like some other experimental stuff

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Apr 29 2025

Good folk music and story telling. Another prime selection showing Dylan isn't as annoying as I originally thought him to be based off the few songs I heard prior to this 1001 project.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Apr 30 2025

Good laid back rock music. A lot of songs just made me think of turn! Turn! Turn! Though, which isn't on this album. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing that nearly every song made me think of one specific different one

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
May 01 2025

Started up and made me think of 'mr. Crowley' for some reason. Some classic hits that are hard not to sing along to. The other unfamiliar songs sound just like those hits, just less catchy.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 02 2025

Lots of great songs I was already familiar with. A few in between sounded good but easily forgettable. Not perfect from start to finish, but pretty damn good

May 03 2025

Alright beats, but mostly bored with the album and wanted it to be done much sooner. Maybe I wasn't in that right mindset, or just wasn't for me, but this listen was meh.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
May 04 2025

Classic soul sound. Can't remember any songs once it's over, but I enjoyed the time, and wouldn't be disappointed at another

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
May 05 2025

Low trip hop vibes. Reminded of a few other bands. Heard of the band, but not positive if I've ever actually listened to them. Enjoy time spent with the album, not positive if I could differentiate from a few other bands

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
May 06 2025

Fun rock. I enjoy the sound. First time listening to a complete album of this group (but I already knew and loved American girl). Don't think songs has a typical song structure with choruses and repetition. A lot of songs felt pure story driven. However, I found myself wishing songs were longer, that it wasn't quite over as quick as it was. American girl is a good feeling and vibe to go out on though

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
May 07 2025

Slower electronic. Found it enjoyable, and the voice sounds pretty unique to me

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
May 08 2025

Allergies and 'cats are cars' were pretty amusing. The album is really quiet and subtle. I enjoyed it despite struggling to hear it all (while working). For some reason while listening to this album I kept picturing Patrick Bateman trying to tell me why it was a good listen.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
May 09 2025

Glam rock sounding. Most interesting part was hearing original versions of songs that were featured in the film Velvet Goldmine. Did get a little bored towards end

Pornography by The Cure
May 10 2025

Really enjoy the cure, already familiar with the band. Most songs I don't think I've heard before. All were enjoyable to me except the last. Could still listen to the album on repeat for awhile if I had to

The Band by The Band
May 11 2025

Just sounded like classic rock. Occasionally different sounds/instruments were used than I expected to hear but mostly uneventful for me.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
May 12 2025

I was always told by my mother to listen to this album. It was pretty neat and different. Not entirely sure I'd ever listen again. The end of the album has a bit that was pretty funny, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was now, other than relative to art.

Blackstar by David Bowie
May 13 2025

The album reminded me of the few songs featured on the lost highway soundtrack. None of his catchier or dancey songs, all a bit somber. I understand how people listened and were able to predict he was about to die. Alright album, but definitely requires a mood, not anything I'd put in heavy rotation

May 14 2025

Alright vibe lounge music. Nothing bad to say,nothing stand out. Doesn't help I followed up with a different band of same style that I know much better

Sister by Sonic Youth
May 15 2025

Vocals sounded a bit quiet or drowned out. Would like to listen again on something with equalizer settings. But what I could hear had good punky energy. Not sure when I'll listen again, but there will be a repeat and it'll be in days not weeks or months.

May 16 2025

This album cover always looked cool but I was afraid the music wouldn't live up to the imagery. Once I started reading H.P. Lovecraft and The King in Yellow (which Lovecraft referenced, maybe even co-opted) the image in my head turned even darker. 21st century schizoid man kind of fit the expectations and was cool. The rest just made me think classic rock about fantasy things. Basically, more flute than I expected or wanted. But preconceived notions aside, it was alright.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
May 17 2025

Funk isn't really my style but I found the album entertaining enough

May 18 2025

Not sure where country and western came in, unless it was all covers of that genre. Alright music. Sounds very of the time and makes you dwell on it, but the album goes on longer than I cared for that particular style and feel

May 19 2025

Had that 90's feel and rage. Doll parts stood out the most, but maybe because I've heard a line or two previously.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 20 2025

Great indie rock album. I like a different one from this band better, but this captures the sound and feel well enough

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
May 21 2025

Entertaining folksy music. Song about cocaine was probably the best and most stand out. Not my style but good for what it was

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
May 22 2025

Some great Zeppelin songs appear on this album. Sound great together, much better than individually on the radio

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
May 23 2025

Alright singer singer writer (I guess that's the genre). I didn't dislike the sound, but after it was over, didn't remember a thing about it

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
May 24 2025

Okay introduction to The Smiths and their sound. 'There is a light...' had what's been a favorite, but nothing else stood out of initial listen

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
May 25 2025

Different from what I normally listen to. Not sure if anything stands out enough to remember names but it was enjoyable change of pace

White Light by Gene Clark
May 26 2025

Nice folksy rock. Liked the rendition of staff by me. Not sure if it was original and I didn't realize, but enjoyed the take nonetheless

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
May 27 2025

Calm and relaxing afternoon type music. Kind of reminded me of something from a wes Anderson movie, then a song later realized it was 100% used in Garden state.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
May 28 2025

Just fun punk rock. Some silly lyrics. Entertaining cover of suffragette city.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
May 29 2025

The music was alright, not quite my style, but the album itself had multiple versions of the same track and it got annoying. After looking into it, apparently that was the reissue. Reissue would be 2 star. Original as intended, without the repeated tracks, would be way more tolerable

In It For The Money by Supergrass
May 30 2025

Completely new band to me. Sound reminded me of a lot of indie rock bands that came later, like The Fratellis. Had some fun lyrics, had energy behind the music that made me want to do something, without the m that necessarily being going smash something up.

Arrival by ABBA
May 31 2025

Has some undeniable hits on this album. Some I had never even heard of. Not perfect from start to finish, but long lasting impact

Tapestry by Carole King
Jun 01 2025

Not quite my kind of music, but very surprised by how many songs I already knew enough to sing along with. So many hits. Still had some forgettable songs mixed in that made it not start to finish great.

All Directions by The Temptations
Jun 02 2025

Slower than expected but was enjoyable. More funk than I expected as well.

The Doors by The Doors
Jun 03 2025

Lots of great songs I was already familiar with. Classic DOORS

Jun 04 2025

Fun pop music. Poison arrow I'm sure I've heard before, but it's the most catchy song on the album. Can't remember any other song, but wasn't bothered by any

Jun 05 2025

Okay album for something I'm not into. Some catchy entertaining stuff, but it was a long album and got tiring. Understand why so many people said g-g-g-g unit.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jun 06 2025

Alright reggae. Not my style but no complaints

Jun 07 2025

Sounded very much like other talking heads I was already familiar with. I might have known one song already, but nothing really jumped out. I'm sure if you enjoy talking heads, this album is great; if they're just okay, this album is just okay

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 08 2025

Killing mood is fantastic, the rest of the album was just alright. 80's sounding moody synth pop.

Slayed? by Slade
Jun 09 2025

Entertaining classic rock sound from a band I was unfamiliar with

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jun 10 2025

Alright rock I suppose, but much slower music than I expected. Even one song I was already familiar with didn't save that I got voted with the album, ready for it to end

Jun 11 2025

Double album so going into I knew it'd be long. Wasn't my style so it felt as long as I expected. But I enjoyed a lot of it. I could handle it better in bits and pieces and appreciate different styles and a few appearances of rappers I'd hear of later

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jun 12 2025

Punky high energy from some one I've been heard of, and would have thought was from the 90's. I guess that makes it ahead of its time

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Not as up beat as I anticipated. Felt like a different side of the beach boys than what I was used to from radio play but I enjoyed it

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jun 14 2025

Not my style of music, but nothing bad to say about it. If it were my taste I'm sure I'd absolutely love it.

Risque by CHIC
Jun 15 2025

Alright pop, almost disco music. Not my style but wasn't miserable, it was an alright change

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Jun 16 2025

Never heard of this one but I enjoyed it. Decent flow, clear message, wish I could have found the 4 songs Spotify and YouTube didn't have so that I could hear the whole album

Aja by Steely Dan
Jun 17 2025

Not for me, was pretty slow. I considered it alright despite that, but the long the album the went the more I wanted it to be over

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Jun 18 2025

Not what I expected. At first I thought it was kind of refreshing because it's not quite any of the other albums I listened to so far. But everything kind of sounded the same and it was just alright. A song here or there in a playlist would be fun, the album with all the things back to back is less appealing

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jun 19 2025

Slow, chill, not for me but had a clearly said what was set out to be said and sounded good doing it

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jun 20 2025

Different indi rock. Felt mostly dream like. I want to listen to it again, but not sure if I need to tell my friends what they're missing out on. Lingering feeling that can't quite describe

Jun 21 2025

Listened to the album before. It's alright, but I think the art is more memorable than a lot of the music.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jun 22 2025

It's jazz. Not the biggest fan, and the more I hear via this list, the less interested I am. Sounds ok but runs long

Jun 23 2025

80's style pop music. Nothing to particularly hate on, but the only thing to stand out was a song about freedom reminding me a lot of 'faith', which isn't on this album.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jun 24 2025

Fun poppy songs. I think I was familiar with only one, but that's the only one that stuck with me. Not sure why this particular album makes the cut, unless it was just because it was early

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Jun 25 2025

Chill electronic indi music. Good vibes. First song reminded me of completely different song and that song is now stuck in my head, nothing from this album

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 26 2025

Already a fan of the smashing pumpkins. I think bill corgan's vocals were a unique and the group created some great alt rock. This was a good album to use as an intro to the band.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jun 27 2025

Sounds like classic rolling Stones. Nothing super catchy, but I imagine if you're a fan of the band it would've satisfied the itch for new music

Be by Common
Jun 28 2025

Better than I anticipated (only know common from his acting rolls). Lyrics that were serious without sounding just like gangster rap. Stuff had good flow, a lot chill allowing lyrics to come through clear

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jun 29 2025

Good chill lounge music. Not sure what makes it better than others but it's an me to start with, ready to have on in the background on repeat

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 30 2025

Honestly just felt like another Jesus and may chain album. I'm a bit of a fan of them but I didn't find anything better about this album than others

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 01 2025

Didn't know what to expect but it was chill and different and deserves another listen

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jul 02 2025

Beats were good. Some lyrics were funny, some were kind of dumb or repetitive and got annoying

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 03 2025

Just okay. Nothing incredibly inspiring, nothing to hate on. Enjoyed it but forgot almost everything about it already

Night Life by Ray Price
Jul 04 2025

Not my style,will never listen again, but was enjoyable despite that. "Honky tonk angel" haha

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jul 05 2025

Not a concert I would've enjoyed. A lot of jam session and not a fan. Instruments played well

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jul 06 2025

Funky. Alright music, some classics, but ultimately not for me

Jul 07 2025

Appreciated the beats, the flow, collaborations and just the sound of his voice in general. Wouldn't be upset ever if it came back on. The album art is remarkably corny to me though

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jul 08 2025

Some parts funky, some soul I guess. Not quite sure how to describe it. It was alright, nothing I'd see out again. Near to hear original (?) / different version of higher ground

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Jul 09 2025

Chill mostly instrumental. Enjoyed it a lot. Probably couldn't recall who it was if I heard a specific song again

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 10 2025

Some classic hits. Solid guitar playing, and funky beats, but gets a little too much jam / guitar solo

General fan of nu metal when I hear it and this was a good take. I knew two songs already but the new stuff was fun and entertaining. Really enjoyed the song with the nin references through out the chorus. Only thing I didn't enjoy was multiple songs talking about chocolate starfish. Not sure why certain groups like to repeat the album title throughout their albums.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jul 12 2025

Blue orchid absolutely fantastic. That song alone is worth greatness. The whole album sounds like a variety of things. Nothing hits like first track, but that doesn't mean other songs aren't fun and also get stuck in my head. "I'm thinkin' about my doorbell, and when you gonna, when you gonna ring it"

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jul 13 2025

Indie rock with a voice I couldn't stand

The Slider by T. Rex
Jul 14 2025

I enjoy t.rex but can't really describe why. Bolan's voice is a little different but otherwise I can't put into words what makes it stand out compared to other things

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jul 16 2025

Always heard of group, never listened. Was fun brand of various weird, until last song or two. Those are but harder to return to. Overall, wasn't disappointed

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jul 18 2025

Fun techno-y dance music from someone I never heard of.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jul 19 2025

Good singing, lots of hits, but for some reason it felt like a LONG album. I guess it's good, but just not my style and I was ready to move on

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 20 2025

Reminded me of tow waits a bit. Felt a little more like spoken word about some dark topics. I think it's something I'd need to be in the mood for

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 21 2025

Was already familiar. Where is my mind alone is worth the album, and hard to ever forget. The rest of the album is a fun listen, but doesn't stand out nearly as much

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jul 23 2025

More fun that I anticipated. More disco feeling than the modern pop, to me. Some songs already familiar with but never connected them to Michael Jackson.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Already owned. I think it's an enjoyable album with some great songs. 'Changes' is great, and feels completely different from black Sabbath I was used to.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jul 25 2025

Not what I expected from bee gees. Sadder and more reflective than the disco stuff, but I enjoyed the mood. Wish I had listened to it while I was relaxing instead of working.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Jul 27 2025

Not for me. 20 seconds into each song, it sounded like same song. Not familiar enough with anything about the style to hear why it stands out amongst its peers.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jul 28 2025

Better than I expected. I vaguely recall being aware of money for nothing, but it not meaning much to me. Finally revisiting it, it's much catchier than when I listened to it younger. I enjoyed the album and some use of uncommon instruments throughout

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jul 29 2025

Didn't think I knew this artist. Turns out I was familiar with multiple songs, and I enjoyed them all. The songs I didn't know, I still enjoyed and while I don't need to right this minute, I'd gladly listen to the whole album again, maybe even purchase it.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jul 30 2025

Not my favorite Metallica, but it was good to hear some different songs than ones from the radio

Purple Rain by Prince
Jul 31 2025

It was alright. Half familiar with two songs and at the end of it, those are still the only two I remember.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Aug 01 2025

Alright jazz. Still can't tell much apart. I suppose I can only tell jazz apart from how it makes me feel, and this was just feeling average

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 02 2025

Alright beats but just couldn't get into it and easily forgot what I listened to once it was over

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Aug 03 2025

Had more energy behind it than I was expecting. It was alright. Nothing such with me

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Aug 04 2025

Alright music. Nothing I didn't like, but nothing stood out or stayed with me

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Aug 05 2025

Oasis sounding like Oasis. I like Oasis, so I enjoyed the album

Lost Souls by Doves
Aug 06 2025

Decent alt/indie rock. Listened to it twice cause I enjoyed the vibe, but still nothing stuck with me to remember anything specific

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Aug 07 2025

It was alright individually, but the longer the album went on the more nasally is sounded and I got more frustrated it just wasn't over yet. I think I can handle Dylan piece meal, not all at once

Aug 08 2025

Entertaining punk. Lately been struggling to remember what I've listened to, but I remembered "no Christmas for a junkie"

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Aug 09 2025

More energetic than I was expecting, but fun time

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Aug 10 2025

Fun and entertaining. More chill rap. Not 100% why I needed to listen to it, but not disappointed

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Aug 11 2025

Upbeat, enjoyable time. Probably couldn't pick the music up out of a line up, but I could recognize the artists name if I saw it again and say I liked it

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Aug 12 2025

I don't think I've listened to a whole Joplin album before. It was an enjoyable album. Nothing bad to say about it.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Aug 13 2025

Not got me, but it was alright flow and beats from someone I hadn't heard of. Style reminded me of Aesop rock

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Aug 14 2025

Liked it more than I expected. Not a fan of the finish each other sentences style, but it wasn't terribly annoying with this album. Good beats, and pretty clear lyrics. The song about dreaming, with the constant "wake up" I can't get out of my head.

Tical by Method Man
Aug 15 2025

It seemed really quite and difficult to make a lot out. Excited to hear original version of Bring the pain, but the cover I know better runs faster. Was kind of bored with this one.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Aug 16 2025

Fun Bowie. Made me want to move around a bit, kind of put me in a better mood. Only complaint was the piano throughout seemed a little like a crazy person playing... Which I guess is fitting

Document by R.E.M.
Aug 17 2025

Alright album. It's the quirky rock I would expect from r.e.m.

Horses by Patti Smith
Aug 18 2025

More lyrically driven than I expected. Have always seen the album, but never listened before. Enjoyed it

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Aug 19 2025

Chill music. Good vibes

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Aug 20 2025

Love the album, some unforgettable tracks. Then there are tracks that kind of blend with others and can't keep them apart, but I'd still return and listen to the entire thing on repeat for the energy alone

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 21 2025

Started off okay dance music, not my thing but it was fun. Lost in music was entertaining lyrics, hopefully I remember that one. We are family is catchy classic, even if I always roll my whenever it plays in a movie or tv show. All the love songs in between were kind of meh.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Aug 22 2025

More fun than I've had with some other rolling Stones albums. More of their classic sound, but did get bored with the album at some point and was ready for it to be over

Station To Station by David Bowie
Aug 23 2025

Most of the songs I was unfamiliar with and found them enjoyable

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Aug 24 2025

80's sound utilizing a wide range of instruments. Wasn't for me at all

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Aug 25 2025

A bit slower paced than than I was expecting but everything subbed great.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 26 2025

Chill and kind of calming. Nearly put me to sleep, but better than I expected from my preconceived notions of Radiohead.

The Clash by The Clash
Aug 27 2025

Punk rock vibes I was expecting from the clash

Sincere by Mj Cole
Aug 28 2025

Alright techno/ trance (something along those lines). I've heard at least one if not more songs in various compilations.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Aug 31 2025

Lots of interesting instrument choices. At one point said this is the most whistles I've heard in any song. Could kind of hear influence they had on later stuff.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Sep 01 2025

Familiar with name but not music. Alright kind of punk sounds. Reminded me of The Pixes in a way. Songs were all too short to really get into and remember anything specific

C'est Chic by CHIC
Sep 02 2025

Le freak is classic. Mostly alright fun album for being disco music. One song felt painfully slow, I think it was 'at last I am free'

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Sep 03 2025

Lots of cool synth. More instrumentals than I expected. Previously familiar with cars, which has grown to be a bit corny, and a cover version of metal. Great to hear the original.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Sep 04 2025

Epic is an alright, arguable, classic. The metal isn't bad, but for the most part I just don't like the vocals. A lot are too whiny. The was pigs cover didn't really do much

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Sep 05 2025

I don't think I've ever listened to Rod Stewart before, despite knowing the name and being able to recognize him. I certainly haven't listened to an entire album before. This wasn't bad. Enjoyable Rock with clear lyrics.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Sep 06 2025

I think I was only familiar with one of these songs. Everything sounded new to me, different but still familiar. Enjoyed the album

Ctrl by SZA
Sep 07 2025

Not my style. Alright beats I suppose, slower than expected but at least made lyrics clear. Not sure what makes the album great, and all I'll remember is the song featuring Kendrick Lamar saying pussy a lot

Sep 08 2025

Classic rock sound. Enjoyed it. Space oddity had a song that sounded like it utilized a kazoo

Odelay by Beck
Sep 09 2025

Some catchy classic beck songs. The rest I'd never heard and didn't quite stick with me but at no point was I disappointed

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Sep 10 2025

Meh. Kind of lounge music vibes. Soft easily forgettable. Was getting ready for a funeral when listening to, so a bit distracted. That being said, nothing about the music commanded my attention away from my own thoughts. It was just a little boring for my tastes

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Sep 11 2025

Trippy sci-fi. Decent beat to not sound quite like a jam band, but something meticulously put together. Still didn't need two hours worth

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Sep 12 2025

Much better than expected. Just instrumental covers of songs that added bongos. Sounds silly but nothing was bad about it.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 13 2025

Better than I remembered. Could probably be happy with it on repeat for awhile

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Sep 15 2025

For the most part couldn't understand lyrics. It sounded like a lot of mumbles and I didn't understand why I was listening to it

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Sep 16 2025

Great indie rock. My body is a cage is an ear worm I can't get rid of

White Ladder by David Gray
Sep 17 2025

Not sure if easy listening is the right description, but it was easy, kinda of calm afternoon. A few unconventional sounds so it didn't just seem like dude with a guitar. Enjoyed it and after it was over wanted to keep listening to more.

Fun House by The Stooges
Sep 18 2025

Sweet short punk

Sep 19 2025

Heard of, never listened to. Better than expected. Fairly clear lyrics while still being pretty metal

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Sep 20 2025

Not really my style but I enjoyed it. Clear lyrics, kind of catchy. Especially enjoyed traveling man

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 21 2025

Just sounded like synth pop to me, nothing bad, nothing catchy. Easily forgettable

Da Capo by Love
Sep 22 2025

A little too jam band. Short album, but felt much longer.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 23 2025

Good classic rock

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Sep 24 2025

Alright indie sound. Wasn't in the mood, but wasn't against it

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Sep 25 2025

Started out kind of cool dark synth pop. Lots of xylophone sounds. Kinda fizzled out on the interesting after first three or so songs

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Sep 26 2025

A bit quiet sounding, but enjoyed the vibe. Occasionally reminded me of Jesus and Maryc Chain.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Sep 27 2025

Really good if you're into blues. Some of lyrics were funny

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Sep 28 2025

Alright indie alt rock with some punk vibes to it

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Sep 29 2025

Ok indie music. Calm vibes but two listens and I can't remember a single young unique

Young Americans by David Bowie
Sep 30 2025

Bookended with classic Bowie songs. Stuff in middle was just alright, sounded reminded me of funk and just not what I expected (from what little I knew apparently)

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Oct 01 2025

Fun earlier electronic weirdness.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 02 2025

Reggae. I know so little and not sure what makes this stand out against other in the genre. Alright if you're in the mood for it

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Oct 03 2025

Alright pop. The standout is the song everyone already knows. Don't remember anything else. Less weird than last album of theirs that was recommended.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 04 2025

Good album, wish it wasn't edited. Funny there is a song twice but also a little annoying for a recording

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Oct 05 2025

No idea what this was, but way more enjoyable than any expectations. I could listen to it again if need to

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 06 2025

Started with some cool beats and flow, but halfway through I started getting bored

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Oct 07 2025

Catchy songs from unique enough voice. Enjoyed the album, even songs I didn't already know

Nixon by Lambchop
Oct 08 2025

Kinda dreamy, quite sleep music. Okay in moderation, not sure I wanted a full album

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Oct 10 2025

Heard Frank Sinatra before, so knew what to expect sound wise. Nobe of the songs I already knew were on the album but it was enjoyable and met expectations

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Oct 11 2025

The only place I know I've heard Nick Drake before is the Garden State soundtrack. After listening to this whole calm, chill album, he definitly has a distinct and memorable voice. I don't remember much about the songs themselves, but I remember the experience

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Oct 12 2025

Not my style but was fun good mood music

California by American Music Club
Oct 13 2025

Alright. Nothing stood out to me. Quickly forgot all the I heard

25 by Adele
Oct 14 2025

Great sound. Voice I remember, but none of the lyrics from this album stuck with me

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Oct 15 2025

Mostly unimpressed with Pete Gabriel. Just alright 80's rock sounds, but I was entertained by the song about being left alone

Oct 16 2025

Never heard of this group. Music felt a little all over the place but it was pretty interesting and some of it gave me gorillaz vibes.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Oct 17 2025

Completely new artist to me. Entertaining style, not quite like anything else I've ever heard, but not sure if it's want to search out more of his work

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Oct 18 2025

Already familiar with album. Starts off real strong with catchy songs, better than I remembered even. Halfway through I got bored and found things forgettable, thus reminding me why I was unimpressed with the album past the singles that came from it when it first came out.

Garbage by Garbage
Oct 19 2025

Pretty biased with this one. I've listened to this on repeat for weeks at a time, and can blindly sing along to the whole thing. I think it's fantastic album that sounded unique. Only two songs I think slow momentum down; one of which being the final song and doesn't require to maintain momentum, but the lyrics of both are still great.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Oct 20 2025

Was vaguely familiar with the band but not this release. Was not a band I expected to see. After listening, still not sure why it made it, but it's nice background music. Doesn't put me to sleep, doesn't pump me up, just sounded kinda decent while I was steadily doing my task. Effective enough that I listened twice in a row, but not because anything stuck in my head I needed to hear again. It was more I just wanted to keep on pace with what I was doing, and this album worked well enough for the first hour, let's try for the second

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Oct 21 2025

Alright country. Not my style but nothing to complain about, enjoyed his voice. Not quite sure I've ever actually listened to more than 2 of his songs

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Oct 22 2025

Alright, but not my style and mostly blended together

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Oct 23 2025

Not my style but enjoyable country. Not too much twang. I enjoyed the final song Jackson the most

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Oct 24 2025

Fun and energetic. I think more than one song sounded like tutti-frutti, which is only one I knew and only one I will remember

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Oct 25 2025

Alright. Always meant to listen to this album, but after having done so, don't think I missed much

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 26 2025

Not sure what I was expecting, or how to even describe it, but very much enjoyed it. Minimal lyrics, engaging beats

Oct 27 2025

What quite sure what to expect from Tom waits album. I think I recognize him more from from appearances and a few random songs. Entertaining story teller. Could easily picture being in crowded room listening to him, much like the cover of the album.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Oct 28 2025

Fun jazz. Still didn't know what distinguishes it from bad or good jazz.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Oct 29 2025

Not quite my thing, but could tell it was good guitar playing throughout, which got the impression he was a guitar playing blues man. Mission accomplished

Oct 30 2025

Tupac's voice is deeper than I expected. Not sure why I expected something different. Some of it was alright and enjoyable lyrics. The other songs weren't bad lyrics or beats, they just were not my style and therefore not captivating to me.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Oct 31 2025

Didn't know who this was or what to expect, but I enjoyed it a lot. Some of it is still stuck in my head. Not a fan of the skits, but most everything else I liked.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Nov 02 2025

Made me think of a rainforest for most of it, maybe what you'd hear in the background of rainforest Cafe. I guess it was ok. Kind of cool to hear original song that was later sampled to be do you think I'm sexy

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Nov 03 2025

Instant nostalgia that I couldn't place. Best guess is I recognize the voice from N.B.K. soundtrack. I like the voice, I like the vibe. Wish I would've listened sitting in the dark and not doing anything else. The lyrics didn't stick with me too much, but I can't escape the feeling the album have me despite that

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 04 2025

More punk feeling than I expected, having only known 'brass in my pocket' song. Enjoyed the rest

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Nov 05 2025

Not at all who I was ever expecting to see on this list. Was familiar with, and this album sounded what I expected. I can listen to it sporadically, but I could never deep dive or listen to them endlessly, would probably never request it anywhere unless trying to troll someone. But as someone who really enjoys industrial music, I appreciate it and like it as background noise

Nov 06 2025

Parts were okay, but when I started to think that it would turn into jam session again and I'd get a bit annoyed again.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Nov 07 2025

Didn't know what to expect. Upbeat, kinda of punk attitude. Enjoyed it

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Nov 08 2025

Love The Doors, some classic songs on this album. Tendency to jam just to the bring of annoying and then started singing again. Texas radio song is kinda off and not my thing

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Nov 09 2025

Didn't know what to expect, having never heard of this band. It was okay. A lot of the songs made me think of pub songs to sing (or shout) along too. Occasionally Irish jig feel

Technique by New Order
Nov 10 2025

Sounded like the new order I'm familiar with, synth pop (or whatever they're described as), however none was as catchy as what I was already familiar with

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Nov 11 2025

Calm and kinda chill. Relaxing

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Nov 12 2025

The Tom waits I was expecting. Kind of bizarre but I really enjoyed it

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Nov 13 2025

Just fun punk. The short kind that leaves you wanting more, not the long albums that go on way too long

Nov 14 2025

British Alt Rock that I didn't think I've heard of before but enjoyed. Fast and energetic. Not so interested I want to deep dive, but would be interested to see them live. I can only imagine how fun that could be

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Nov 15 2025

Title track is classic and already familiar with. The remaining tracks were smooth and enjoyable.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 16 2025

Heard the name but doing if I ever listened to before. I feel like I would've remembered this strangeness. The album was a bit bizarre but I enjoyed it. Im not sure I'll intentionally listen again, but I wasn't upset with the experiment

Nov 17 2025

Should've checked out more Eurythmics sooner. Great synth driven beats. Although, after sweet dreams the songs kind of became less interesting

Nov 18 2025

Was familiar with the band name, but wasn't sure from where until I got to the Christmas song. Lots of fun energy, reminding me of bands that came after them. Would listen to it again if I was in the mood for their style.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Nov 19 2025

Not the goldfrap I'm familiar with. Much calmer more indi and less electronic - matches the vibe of the cover art. Some catchy nice stuff, but most forgettable side from the vibe

Solid Air by John Martyn
Nov 20 2025

First song seemed like all mumbles and mostly annoyed me. Things cleared up after that it was alright. Nothing especially rememberable aside from song about jelly

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Nov 21 2025

Some classic Aerosmith songs. The remaining tracks were decent rock songs sounding like Aerosmith, just not as catchy

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 22 2025

Just long enough to not be too long. Arguably flawless if this is your jam, just not compelling enough to listen on repeat

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Nov 23 2025

Didn't know what to expect but it was pretty enjoyable African music

Movies by Holger Czukay
Nov 24 2025

Kind of bizarre. One song sounded like police procedural soundtrack, another made me think 'this is what David Lynch listened to for inspiration'. I've bought random albums from artists I like and been disappointed when I realized it was some experimental stuff and not exactly similar to the material I had been enjoying from them. That feeling is what this album was (without being familiar with any of the artists work)

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 25 2025

Heard of Bruce Springsteen, never listened to much songs. Didn't know what genre he was, so a folk album kind of surprised me. Good storytelling and clear vocals. A bit sad and depressing in the mood/vibe

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Nov 26 2025

Started out enjoying the sound. Third track or so turned into a horror movie (or something with streaming messed up), back to regular sound but started to quickly get bored after that.

Nov 27 2025

Alright good folk rock sound. Can't remember anything about it half a day later, but I didn't hate it. Just didn't stand out

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Nov 28 2025

Cool calm vibes. Was only familiar with wild world previously, and nothing stood out more than that

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Nov 29 2025

A lot of really cool songs, maybe if which I've heard covers of. Last song went on too long with outro distortion noise but at least it wasn't in the middle.

Low-Life by New Order
Nov 30 2025

I think I left same review for a different new order album, but every song made me think of 'temptation', which isn't on this album. Good synth wave if you're into that.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Dec 01 2025

Nice bit of rock that had me wanting to tap my foot or bob my head along to it, without remembering too much of what any song actually was.

Kid A by Radiohead
Dec 02 2025

Felt like a fever dream. It was alright, not annoying but I wouldn't say stand out album or band. Really need to be in the mood. Interestingly a song sounded very much like a song Placebo later made and I thought that was coolest thing about the album - Reddit agrees there is a similarity, not just in my head, but I don't think anything is sampled.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Dec 03 2025

Calm and chill. In May have heard sultans of swing before, or at least the term; but that's the only song I remember

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 04 2025

Feel good, catchy funk

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Dec 05 2025

Familiar with name, not the music. Seemed like ok singer songwriter stuff that had a couple different elements to it but nothing was really capturing my attention. About halfway through I was getting bored and a little annoyed it wasn't over yet. Not for me, but nothing wrong with it

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Dec 06 2025

Everything sounded like restaurant background music. It was chill music, but because of that mental association, not in any way an album that touched any of my tastes. Was ready to be over right away

GREY Area by Little Simz
Dec 07 2025

Never heard of this artists but thought the album was fantastic. Cool, varried beats with clear vocals. Wanted to keep listening, wanted to listen to more stuff, only complaint is short album

Moondance by Van Morrison
Dec 08 2025

Calm easy rock vibes.

Moon Safari by Air
Dec 09 2025

Already familiar with. Sexy boy is memorizing and unforgettable. The rest of the album feels extremely chill and dreamy. Moon Safari is the perfect name to describe the album. Not something I could listen to all the time, but it is fantastic when mood calls for

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Dec 10 2025

Alright flow and beats. Beats were more chill and left a lot of focus on lyrics. Not the kind of music I like. Work it is absolute classic and probably the most memorable song to me.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Dec 11 2025

Folksy pub sounds. Tracks got a bit too long towards the end, but other than that alright

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Dec 12 2025

Started out (and ended) kind of uniterstesting and little all over on what it was, the middle was alright

Goo by Sonic Youth
Dec 13 2025

Didn't quite sound like mainstream rock. Felt a bit more punk or underground. Enjoyed it. For all the people that I admire at have said they liked sonic youth, but I never actually listened to the band, this is the sound and vibe I hoped for.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Dec 14 2025

It did nothing for me. A bit all over sounding, with a hint of maybe b-52s. To me, forgettable

Dec 15 2025

Someone introduced me to this album a long time ago, and I didn't enjoy it too much at the time. I thought the vocals sounded like a child, but between then and now I'm less bothered and it sounds like decent indie.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Dec 16 2025

Really weird. Kind of reminding me of a drunk person trying to sing and they don't know most of the words, just some of the sounds

90 by 808 State
Dec 17 2025

Electronic music that didn't so anything for me. DJ needs a bathroom break type songs

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Dec 18 2025

Honky tonk twang. Not my style. I can appreciate the influence they have had on some that I do like, but mostly this wasn't for me

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Dec 19 2025

Very familiar with the album. Used to listen to it all the time in college. Always felt like the album was soundtrack for a night out with too much partying, evoking some rowdy, devil may care shenanigans. 'getting bright at night' kind of starts to slows things down a bit for the rest of the album looses some momentum but it's like a breather before rally of the last song, ready to do it all again.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Dec 20 2025

Alright easy listening rock. Nothing I would listen to again by choice but not annoyed by it or upset to hear it

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Dec 21 2025

I found it to just be boring bland pop. With a voice so high I couldn't make out a lot of words. I didn't hate it, but to me it was absolutely not memorable in any way. It shouldn't even be rated.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Dec 22 2025

Good rock with classic songs. The songs I was unfamiliar with didn't stand out, but not sure if that was because of the unfamiliarity or just not as great.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Dec 23 2025

Decent singer-songwriter with clear vocals and some bizarre lyrics

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Dec 24 2025

Alright rock. Nothing bad to say about it, but not my thing so doesn't stand out too much

No Other by Gene Clark
Dec 25 2025

Alright, easy listening rock. Vocals were a bit twangy

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 26 2025

Alright music. Elvis costello lyrics never catch my attention or stand out though.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Dec 28 2025

Alright rock but didn't really stand out in any way to me

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Dec 29 2025

Starts a bit twangy but that goes away. Really enjoyed it. Can't remember any lyrics aside from Ingrid Bergman, but enjoyed the vibe of the album a lot

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Dec 30 2025

Found it kinda of funny for some songs but with beats that didn't move me. I can appreciate how others would later build on it, but I wouldn't listen to it again

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Dec 31 2025

Psychedelic fever dream of experimenting with no worry about commercial success . Interesting album. Not something Id choose to listen to again, but I can see it being worth one listen

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jan 02 2026

Great classic rock, with some good hits. No reason to skip any song even if not previously familiar with

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jan 03 2026

As expected very bluesy and guitar jamming. Not my thing, but I imagine it was well done.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jan 04 2026

Love qotsa. Not my favorite album (no ear worms). But good intro to the band nonetheless

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jan 05 2026

Reminded me of the Jesus and Mary chain and their brand of pop, but not quite. And just enough difference to be kind of annoying and not a fan of this album

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jan 06 2026

Alright jazz. Long album, but okay background music

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jan 07 2026

Except for two rather ominous songs, it sounds like what you'd expect from a solo beach boys. Vegetable song was memorable for its ridiculous lyrics. Most of album made me think of soundtrack to a cartoon, possibly because I remember a lot of slide whistle (but every chance it was just in one song, not throughout)

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jan 08 2026

Slow, maybe pop is the best way to describe it, but I couldn't stand it. It gave me glimpses of stuff that would come later that I actually enjoy from people who I imagine built off this sound, but I didn't need to hear this stepping stone

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Jan 09 2026

Decent techno-y dance music, a few I recognize at least samples from.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jan 10 2026

Classic black Sabbath with unforgettable tracks. But only on side one. Side two was always less memorable, but not bad.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jan 11 2026

Mostly instrumental, or quiet enough vocals that it seemed that way. Nice calm background

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 12 2026

Sounded like the few pet shop boys I was familiar with. Fun electronic pop with a unique vocal

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jan 13 2026

Beats didn't do much for me, kind of simple and boring to me. Lyrics and flow were good and clear. Decent narrative.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 14 2026

Great album. Could listen to it on repeat for awhile... If it wasn't for the final song. That one would always be skipped. Otherwise great energy

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jan 15 2026

I enjoy industrial, and ministry in particular. I think this is a great album, especially the louder it goes. If you're in the mood for loud and fast it's hard to disprove of the nose and energy ministry brings. I do get a bit bored around scare crow.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jan 16 2026

Didn't really feel like my thing, but beats were good. Lyrics clear. Nothing annoying going on, just didn't vibe with it.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jan 17 2026

Have symbols from this album tattooed. Not my favorite manson, but it's up there. Most songs are fantastic. Listened on Spotify and realized Spotify doesn't do the annoying hidden track thing with numerous seconds of blank tracks, which I feel is half the experience of some albums. Nothing good comes from this hidden track though

Jan 18 2026

Good alt rock. Nothing lyrically stuck out and got stuck in my head, but I liked the vibes

The Man Who by Travis
Jan 19 2026

Didn't do anything for me. Just felt kind of average indi that's interchangable sound

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Jan 20 2026

Kinda of different striped down sound. Reminds me of something I can't put my finger on. Would be interesting break and refresher in a compilation. Entire album was a little boring and made me sleepy.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Jan 21 2026

Alright brit pop. Have in on vinyl cause someone more important to me covers a song, so listened to this over on old vinyl. Maybe my quality is bad, but it's just alright.

Jan 22 2026

Okay punk I guess. Most exciting part was hearing the jackass theme. Nothing else really caught my attention

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Jan 23 2026

Interesting indi rock. Sounds like influenced from a couple different places but never completely sounded like someone else.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jan 24 2026

One of those bands I always want to check out (because they pop up in random places), but never remember to. It was odd, just like I expected. But not weird enough to shy me away from checking them out again

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jan 25 2026

Alright singer songwriter. I think I liked a different album from this list better. This one sets a certain mood and vibe that I wasn't in the mood for but it wasn't a bad album

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Jan 26 2026

Decent rock pop. Entertained the most by Mr. Clean song

Jan 27 2026

Didn't know what to expect past the word psychedelic, so read a review that slightly influenced my thoughts. Thought this album was awesome. It was drawn out trippy psychedelic that goes on to long. It had energy behind it, it was fun. I can understand how it floats around punk. The wah wah effect that I can only assume is an "electric jug" is kind of cool, but doesn't vary much between songs and gets old. Maybe could've done without - despite that guy being a founder.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 28 2026

Good rock. I think only familiar with one specific song, the rest were new to me and had good energy. Don't think it necessarily stood out as a record I needed to hear once, but it was an alright time

Jan 29 2026

Started very funky and fun, wanted to move around to it. Somewhere a song had singing and talking over it and it was annoying, after that one I felt like the energy disappeared, and it wasn't quite as fun anymore. Just alright.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jan 30 2026

Alright Indie. Tried very hard to focus and pay attention to lyrics but too easily distracted

Revolver by Beatles
Jan 31 2026

Despite being an album I've heard of, didn't do much for me. Has one of my favorite songs from when I was kid, didn't realize how short the songs could be. A few songs with some experiments.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Feb 01 2026

Thought it was a great electronic record. Some songs ran longer than I wanted, but that could've been a mood thing

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Feb 02 2026

Alright mostly instrumental. Enjoyed the vocals when there was some on willie the pimp.

Feb 04 2026

Didn't think I knew this band, but eventually recognized there goes the fear. Rest of album reminded me of other indi bands that sound somewhat familiar. It didn't feel like 53 minutes had passed, I don't remember much of the words or beats, but I liked the vibe and wasn't ready for it to end.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 05 2026

2nd Elvis costello I listened to ever (and from this list). By song 3 I was thinking it's alright, but I don't think I like his voice. Very much liked 'I want you'. After that, nothing else struck a cord but I recognized some influences I assume he gave to later musicians.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 06 2026

I didn't think I realized how short their songs were. They've a nice harmony, but I think I'm happier with a best of. The songs I didn't already know were ok, but didn't hit me in any stand out way

Homework by Daft Punk
Feb 07 2026

Just fun electronic. Already familiar with, I think there is another album I like more by this band, but around the world is undeniable

Boston by Boston
Feb 08 2026

So many good songs on this album. And it felt like it never stopped, even when songs were no longer familiar

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 09 2026

Kind of funny album, I assume intentionally. Alright music, nothing I'd share with friends, but entertaining for one listen

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Feb 10 2026

Fun energy. Boarding on classic rock and early punk stuff. The more the album went the more I thought these guys sound fun, I would've loved to hear them first as an opener and then buy their album and tell my friends they should check it out. Not sure I think that album is perfect start to finish (which is my criteria for 5 stars: perfect start to finish and want to listen to again right away) but the energy was so good I'm rating it high

Stankonia by OutKast
Feb 11 2026

Pretty great album. I lost some momentum near the very end but for the most apart I like the varried beats and flow. Andre 3000's voice is captivating to me. Some catchy unforgettable songs, and most of the new ones to me were similarly entertaining

John Prine by John Prine
Feb 12 2026

Wasn't quite in the mood for his style, but he was good at it. Particularly liked flag won't get you into heaven

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Feb 13 2026

Not my style but stare off good. Pretty sad. Long album and did start to get bored (again not my style) about halfway

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Feb 14 2026

Sounds so different from later snoop I'm more familiar with. Not my favorite rap album but it was alright. Decent changes in beats, and liked the flow. Sometimes it was funny.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Feb 15 2026

Alright. A bit too long for my taste but liked the vocals and the story

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Feb 16 2026

I understand they were og electronic, but it was kind of boring comparatively. Interesting once, but boring

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Feb 17 2026

Alright alt rock. Not quite for me, but I think I can understand the appeal. Except for the 12 minute song that utilized water dripping noise halfway through, as if people left mid recording, mic left on captured a drip and some ambiance, then band came back and just picked up where they left off

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Feb 18 2026

Reminded me of later singer song writers. Songs were hit and miss for me. One early song seemed like mumbles to me. Overall I think I liked it

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Feb 19 2026

Alright soul funk. Not my thing, but nothing to complain about

Feb 20 2026

Very familiar with album. Love it already and get in moods to listen to it on repeat. Lots of great beats and simple lyric dance songs (not a place to come if wanting deep meaning). Handful of songs remind me of movies or tv that they've been used in. Pet peeve with this album is the skit intro to Rockefeller skank is the last part of right here, right now. So that track stand alone ends with that nonsense and ruins it for playlists. But it works for this album as a whole

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Feb 21 2026

Raps not my thing. Sometimes it catches me and it think it's great, others it does nothing for me. This was the later. I couldn't not focus on it at all. It got to the point that I was just waiting for it to be over.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 22 2026

Alright hair metal. Didn't know they had a cover of you really got me

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Feb 23 2026

Not as bad as the last grateful dead I listened to, but still too jam band and does nothing for me

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Feb 24 2026

No idea what he was singing about, but thoroughly enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind owning a copy.

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 25 2026

Never followed U2 but surprising too myself I can name a handful of albums, that I've never listened to, this being one of them. Nothing particularly stood out about this album. Bono's voice is kind of unique, and mysterious ways is decent, but nothing really stood out for me (or explained why I would know this album by name)

American Pie by Don McLean
Feb 26 2026

American pie song is an undeniable classic. The rest of the album is okay easy listening rock. Nothing else stood out to my taste

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Feb 27 2026

Maybe it's one of those important when it came out albums, but I was pretty bored with this very '80's pop. All of these I was unfamiliar with prior to going in (but not all Madonna songs) and tried to keep an open mind

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Feb 28 2026

Didn't know what to expect, don't think I've heard of this group before. Wasn't really in the mood for it, but I was some nice folksy rock

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Mar 01 2026

Thought I had heard of this band and had an idea what to expect. Nope. So wrong. Very honky tonk country. Maybe a little folk, with country feel. For personal reasons I liked Christine, but the rest of it was absolutely not for me. However, it reminded me of recent stuff I listen to that I enjoy, so I can recognize the influence but I'd be fine never listening to them again.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 02 2026

Alright easy listening (?). Sounds like other Paul Simon to me but with a heavy dose of African music as well. I've nothing bad to say about his music, but it's never grabbed my attention.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Mar 03 2026

Okay indi. Takes some active listening to catch the lyrics. Real easy to get distracted to

Dare! by The Human League
Mar 04 2026

Decent synth pop. Don't you want me is a classic. Was a little disappointed it didn't last longer, even if I thought s few middle songs had too similar bass beat

New Forms by Roni Size
Mar 05 2026

I think this would be considered house music. Something along that dance vibe. I feel harsh saying this, but can't think of another way; I found it boring and uninspiring

Atomizer by Big Black
Mar 06 2026

Didn't think I had heard of this band until I saw other albums. Alright punk. Kind of guy me in rebellious spirit. Could've been fun to see live. Nothing makes me think lll remember it in a few days

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Mar 07 2026

I have this album. I think it's okay, but the absolute only memorable thing is bittersweet Symphony.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Mar 08 2026

Cool industrial metal, with little lyrics (at least it felt like little). Def makes me want to check out more. Great for what it is

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Mar 09 2026

Classic album. Great hits like white rabbit and somebody to love. Bit of range including blues, rock and psych. Some songs not as memorable, but I don't have anything bad to say about the album

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Mar 10 2026

Alright Indie rock. Liked the music a lot. Had some interesting beats, but the lyrics themselves, not vocals particularly stood out

Vulnicura by Björk
Mar 11 2026

Didn't like it as much as last bjork that was suggested to me. Music felt minimal and quiet, leaving just vocals that don't do much for me if they're not blending with music

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Mar 12 2026

Classic goth rock band and sound. That's the only reason I can imagine it's on this list, because I don't think it stands out much past that.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Mar 13 2026

At first I didn't think I know the band but did recognize secretly. Alright for what it is, but I think other bands did the style better and more memorable

Skylarking by XTC
Mar 14 2026

I liked dear God but that was about it. The rest was just meh pop rock

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Mar 15 2026

Not quite rap, not exactly trip hop but something along this lines. Cool from someone I've never heard of, not sure how well I'll render it though

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Mar 16 2026

Some kind of fun punkish vibes with a lot keyboards that remind me of the doors. Some weird choices in vocals or effects occasionally but definitely seems like they were having fun. Some vocal style reminded me of Adam and The Ants

Mar 17 2026

Thought the hives was one of those bands I've always heard good things about and never listened to. Song one and turns out it's one of those bands I don't realize I am familiar with. Great punk energy, makes me want to listen to more. That being said, I still only remember that first song

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Mar 18 2026

Smoke on the water and highway Star I'm pretty familiar with abd consider the classic songs. The album itself starts off with great energy and just winds down as it goes. I kind of find it weird, as if the music got tied while I was listening.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Mar 19 2026

I did Tom Waits voice and style. Wasn't quite in the mood for it today but don't have many complaints. Not sure what sets it out above his other albums

The Bends by Radiohead
Mar 20 2026

Not the biggest fan of Radiohead. This album does nothing for me. I feel like lyrics are often very mumbled and the sounds I just forget what is happening with most songs. I kind of like high and dry but that could be just because I've heard it so many times before

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Mar 21 2026

I probably could've guessed this was on factory records without looking up. Has that factory new wave sound with vocals that sound a bit drowned out or just competing with the music and just didn't work for me.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Mar 22 2026

I believe I could hear the influence it had on later music and understand why it might have been culturally relevant/important at its time. Not annoyed I listened to it, but don't anticipate listening again, seeking out further releases or even quite remembering the name of this one

Mar 23 2026

That went on way too long. Really need to be in a mood to consider this a must listen to and nowhere near that mood. Hated that it kept going but I'll give it a little benefit of the doubt

Dust by Screaming Trees
Mar 24 2026

Alright alt rock. Kind of enjoyed their sound, even if it wasn't as heavy as I was picturing with that band name. Not sure why it stands out to be on this list but it was alright

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Mar 25 2026

Great voice from someone I don't think I've heard of. Made me think of a few James Bond openings. She was a particular taste but I can't find fault with it, just not for me at the moment

Street Life by The Crusaders
Mar 26 2026

A lot of sax and street life. I guess it was okay if you're into sax, but to me it all blended together

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 27 2026

Dug this. I could listen to it on repeat a few times. Good beats and flows, all with variety of delivery and voices. Nothing was mumble wrap. Solid work

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Mar 28 2026

Really chill mood setting cure. Didn't seem like much lyrics and felt short but thought it was great. (But think they do better)

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Mar 29 2026

I know it's a classic album but I can't really stand it. It moves so slow. I like she's lost control again, but more so for it leading to covers.

Phrenology by The Roots
Mar 30 2026

It was alright beats and flow. Didn't hate it, but didn't really connect with it. Nothing I can pinpoint to critique

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Mar 31 2026

Kind of odd indi electronic rock. Didn't do much for me, wasn't sure why it was on the list

Apr 01 2026

No shortage of honky tonk. Honky tonk not my thing at all, but one or two songs were funny and I guess it fully delivered on what was advertised

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 02 2026

I think I need more time between elvis costello albums. He can be okay, sometimes lyrics are fun, but a lot of the time I find his voice a bit annoying.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Apr 03 2026

Just sounded like average 90's alt rock

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Apr 05 2026

A bit different indie music. Not sure how to describe it. I didn't connect to it, but it wasn't bad

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Apr 06 2026

I thought the first song started strong (may have heard before) then nothing really started with me after that, except for one song I've definitely listened to before on a soundtrack. I thought intro and slut were amusing, but it felt every bit as long as it was

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Apr 07 2026

Alright classic rock. Might remember band name, but probably not the sound or any songs. Inference specifically may have had a high pitch squeak in it that was particularly annoying

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Apr 08 2026

Decent background guitar picking, but it all sounded like same song

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Apr 09 2026

Side one sounds like average classic rock songs about a girl. Side two, the only side I think anyone cares about, has a fantastic baseline for a song that goes on too long. That song alone has to be why this album is on the list, which is both impressive and annoying to keep recommending some one hit wonder albums.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Apr 10 2026

Sounds like classic rock. Nothing specific stood out, but the subs did vaguely remind me of some other things

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Apr 11 2026

Songs I was familiar with were great. The ones I haven't heard were not as good and would be skipped to get to the good stuff

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Apr 12 2026

Nice lounge music, easy to get lost in. Hard to tell multiple songs apart but a nice listen

Suicide by Suicide
Apr 13 2026

Really minimalist music with lyrics that felt like elvis was delivering spoken word observations. I read about some of the bands they influenced, a lot of which I like, and I feel like someone would've got there eventually without this band. Music loops just felt like they were going to build to something and never had a pay off

Leftism by Leftfield
Apr 14 2026

I recognize open up is a classic and features on a lot of mixes and compilations. To me it's just everything on this album is just so so electronic. It doesn't move me, I don't hate it or annoyed by it, but doesn't do anything for me

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Apr 15 2026

I think singers voice is unique and a welcome change. Lots of great alice In chains hits on this album, but listening to it all back to back, didn't realize how long their songs seem and I didn't enjoy it that long. Songs for me are better as pallet cleanser in a playlist than back to back

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Apr 16 2026

Things I thought I knew about Jethro till prior to listening. Aqualung the song, use of flute/recorder, beat metallica for first heavy metal Grammy (or some such category; not sure which album). After listening to this album, I might recognize the locomotive song. Tried to whistle along to a few parts, which definitely does not belong in the same category as Metallica; they get head bangs or air drums. The recorder or whatever wind instrument was used made me picture frolicking at a ren fair. The album did have some chords that sounded cool, or possibly fun to play. Listened to remaster which included an interview with the front man, who went on to state he wasn't sure this album was the seminal Jethro Tull the label thinks it was. HAHAHAH. Cool, I wasn't all that impressed either, it's okay but did I need it before I die? Up until that interview wasn't interested in listening to another Jethro album; afterwards, alright, I might check out the one he thinks is in a higher category of works

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Apr 17 2026

Was familiar with album cover, never listened to music prior. A lot softer than I was expecting. Both vocal delivery and music in general. Surprising and it wasn't a bad surprise, but was easily distracted

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Apr 18 2026

Liked his voice, the clarity of the sound and the ability to follow stories with ease. Not favorite new artist, but I enjoyed the time together

Electric by The Cult
Apr 19 2026

Alright 80's sounding rock. Could've been a bunch of different bands. Don't know what made it stand out, but it wasn't a bad listen

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Apr 20 2026

Fun album of funk and jazzy beats. Enjoyable listen, but probably wouldn't return for more

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Apr 21 2026

High energy, great vibe. Lyrics often difficult to fully understand but I feel like that's a bit common with the style of music

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Apr 22 2026

There are some fun absurd songs on this album, but the only song anyone needs to listen to is I believe in a thing called love. Nothing else on the album really compares

Apr 23 2026

Pretty familiar with this album already and torn a bit. First give songs are fantastic and I could listen to them on repeat non-stop. Everything after is just meh to me.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 24 2026

Not a big fan of reggae but really appreciated the chill and relaxing vibes when I needed them. However, I'm not sure I'd know this album from any other reggae album.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Apr 25 2026

Didn't know the the verve had more one album. Not sure this one needed to be listened to. Just kind of Average music.

Tago Mago by Can
Apr 26 2026

Not quite jam band, but felt like a bunch of guys just kind of experimenting with stuff, including vocals. Wasn't really in the mood for this type of music and halfway through it just felt like it was going to take forever to be over

Vespertine by Björk
Apr 27 2026

I like the other worldly nature and feel of the album. I just didn't want it for the length of time I got it

Who's Next by The Who
Apr 28 2026

Fairly familiar with the band name and a few of the hits from this album. The songs in between hits didn't do much for me. The songs I did know, I'm not sure I have ever sat down and listened to them start to finish before. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood, but I was pretty underwhelmed by what I thought was going to be a powerhouse album

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Apr 29 2026

Pretty familiar with blister in the sun, it's just as fun as always. Didn't realize kiss off was this band, I like that song a lot as well. Remaining songs are great fun and punkish energy, just darn it all seems so short.

Kenza by Khaled
Apr 30 2026

Not for me, but wasn't anything bad. Interesting cover of imagine

Low by David Bowie
May 01 2026

Bizarre album that in already familiar with. Departure from fun catchy pop Bowie stuff. Half album is instrumental stuff that sounds like someone is mentally, forgive me, low. I enjoy the difference this album provides

Make Yourself by Incubus
May 02 2026

I think they're a unique band sound. Some alt rock mixed with funk. It just doesn't do anything for me. Even the songs I already knew from the radio don't hit me well

Gris Gris by Dr. John
May 03 2026

Some songs were okay but mostly seemed like a bizarre voodoo themed album that fell short of what Id want from something with such a theme

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
May 04 2026

Some nice guitar parts but ultimately an absurd amount of solos. I'd be upset to have an hour + concert and only 7 songs cause there had to be a jam session in nearly every single one

evermore by Taylor Swift
May 05 2026

Familiar with the pop stuff (eras?) never listened to her mellow stuff. It's alright, sets a decent mood, makes me want to check out the national and bon iver. Find her lyrics to get old, but I suppose that would require prior knowledge

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
May 06 2026

Some punk energy that ultimately blurred all together to me. Some songs beats reminded me of songs that came later from different bands and I be interested to know if they sampled this album, but that'd just be fun facts. It wouldn't improve this album for me

Arular by M.I.A.
May 07 2026

Different kinds of beats than familiar with. Some of what was good. Nothing crazy catchy like some other stuff of hers but a fascinating listen

Connected by Stereo MC's
May 08 2026

I recognize the first song and it's a cool funky beat. I imagine this email meant something because it was something different but it didn't do much for me as a whole. Lots of songs and beats felt interchangable

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
May 09 2026

Wtf was this psychedelic folk fever dream? Was that a kazoo? Why am I supposed to listen to this? Maybe I'm being harsh because I had to listen in spurts, and dreaded turning it back on, but was not a fan

Survivor by Destiny's Child
May 10 2026

Better than I expected. Some good beats and harmony. Apparently I had a stupid grin on my face during happy song. Got slow after that song. Wasn't a fan of the vocal shift nonsense of ooOOoooOooaaaAaa kinda of things but overall decent

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
May 11 2026

Pretty fun jazz, skat, whatever this genre is. Often had ridiculous lyrics, but if I was more into jazz I could see wanting to have his stuff as a go to.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
May 12 2026

Nice chill indi rock. A few songs reminded me of the temper trap and then I just wanted to put that on instead of finishing this album (but I still finished this)

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
May 13 2026

Not for me. I thought she was going to be pop. Instead it was all the slow ballad-y stuff pop artist put in and it feels like skiable filler. Hated it from song one

Fragile by Yes
May 14 2026

Not really for me, but I can see the appeal for the funky psychedelic sound with classic rock vocals

Sound Affects by The Jam
May 15 2026

80's pop punk maybe? Alright. Not my style, nor will it stick with me, but nothing to hate on

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
May 16 2026

Didn't really do much for me. Felt like 90's alt rock junk to me. Kind of got the impression the lyrics might have been really good if I paid closer attention but I just want being pulled in by the music

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
May 17 2026

Wasn't really in the mood for the r+b style but there were good lyrics and I liked her voice

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
May 18 2026

All I could think of was this album was a substitute for the doors.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
May 19 2026

Pretty solid electronic album start to finish. Couldn't really tell where one song ended and another began, but together it seemed great

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 20 2026

I like their sound. A lot of it has a nostalgic feel to it without me having actually heard this album before

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
May 21 2026

Went back and forth about how I felt about her voice but I think ultimately I came around. Already familiar with and love love fool. Pleasantly surprised by the iron man cover. Completely different but I liked it

Bad Company by Bad Company
May 22 2026

Alright classic rock. Maybe cause of the five finger death punch cover, or the word bad in the title, but I expected the whole band sound to be a bit harder than it was

May 23 2026

Cool, subtle, trip-hop like stuff. I don't know if I'm interested enough to listen again but not at all disappointed in the find

May 24 2026

Twangy country is not my thing and I thought oh god, but the lyrics were amusing and he grew on me

The Visitors by ABBA
May 25 2026

Not the abba I was expecting. One song early on kind of had something similar to what I expected but that went away. I think at one point it even started to sound like a circus. Perhaps my expectations were set in the wrong direction and I was just severely let down

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
May 26 2026

Maybe this was great when it came out, but it felt so minimalistic. The rhymes were there but the delivery and beats just left me bored

Different Class by Pulp
May 27 2026

I think I have disco 2000 on a soundtrack somewhere and really enjoy the song. The rest of the album sounded like decent 90's alt rock

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
May 28 2026

I like some pet shop boys. Even when their lyrics don't catch me often times the beats are still really good anyway. This album started true to that

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 29 2026

It was okay reggae. That genre has never blown my mind, but also I've nothing to complain about it

Pink Flag by Wire
May 30 2026

Alright punk. Mostly clear lyrics, which is a quality I find gets lost quickly with punk. Can definitely recognize influence they would've had

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
May 31 2026

This was okay music, but it has some weird stuff happening in it. Some weird funny lyrics too like onion head. Not sure I want to hear it again because of how bizarre I found it, but I'm hindsight it was kind of a funny hour

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jun 01 2026

Not my style at all but her voice was good and I can only imagine it's a Standout in the genre. 8 songs feels like a short album.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jun 02 2026

Not much to say about it. Decent sounding rock, alt rock maybe. Clear lyrics with nice vocals

Tommy by The Who
Jun 03 2026

Alright, interesting rock opera. Version I listened to include live and I was too lazy to turn it off. I appreciated the clarity of the live better; or maybe it was just hearing it a 2nd time more stuck out

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Jun 05 2026

This album may have been over hyped for me. Alright Rick album, some fun lyrics. Didn't realize Alice Cooper could do high notes

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 06 2026

I like the unique vocal sound of r.e.m. I knew some stuff from the band but nothing of this album. Nothing off this album was immediately catchy as other stuff they'd be known for

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 07 2026

Alright music. Not sure I would've realized it was a female singer on a few of the tracks.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jun 08 2026

Somewhat familiar with the band. Kind of hard to describe their version of rock, but I like the vocals and the sound when I'm the right mood, even if none of the songs of this particular album stay with me once it's over

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jun 09 2026

Never heard of artist. Thought is was alright. Not sure I'll remember, but wasn't disappointed

Elastica by Elastica
Jun 10 2026

Definitely heard some songs on soundtracks before. Fun alt rock, punky vibes.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 12 2026

Strange but entertaining mix of funk, rap, world music

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jun 13 2026

Not saying it was a perfect album, but found it very entertaining exposure

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jun 14 2026

Cool variety of music in this album. A good pop alternative to regular top 40

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 15 2026

Funk but much slower than expected. Kind of got bored of it

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jun 16 2026

I like the voice despite it being twangy. The pop country feel felt different and it was pretty entertaining album. Velvet Elvis has me laughing

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jun 17 2026

Alright alt rock. Forgot it almost immediately after listening to it

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jun 18 2026

Found it to be boring unmemorable alt Rock. Maybe just in a bag mood

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jun 19 2026

Different, interesting, but not for me

Calenture by The Triffids
Jun 20 2026

80's pop sound that I couldn't get into

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jun 21 2026

Alright 70's rock

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jun 23 2026

Alright alt rock. Getting burnt out of this list and not running into anything that really im really connecting with or recognize value in without looking it up

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jun 24 2026

Not the sound I was expecting, the album set reminded me of something else I guess. Sounded familiar, as in I think a few other bands that came a little later have a similar but improved upon sound

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jun 25 2026

I guess it was alright kind of folksy sounding rock, but one of the earlier songs was absolutely awful

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jun 26 2026

Weird to say about Metallica but it felt kind of slower than what I was expecting. Or maybe I just didn't play it as loud as Metallica deserves. Album did have some classics on it though

Jun 27 2026

Cisco kid sounded familiar from maybe someone sampling it, but the rest was some funk that felt like never ending background music

The Cars by The Cars
Jun 28 2026

Catchy rock, kind of borders on pop to me. Some classics but all great energy

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jun 29 2026

Weird album to describe. I'd never listen to it again by itself. It's interesting beats and samples, a bit all over and just makes for a audible assault in a way. However, all of it sounds like the perfect blend of "Indi shit" (to quote Donald Glover) to rap over, and would tell me about as far as something to listen to and experiment with. The album feels like it has potential to blend with something else and be greater than the sum of its parts

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jun 30 2026

Prince isn't really for me but I can understand his pop appeal

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 01 2026

Bad moon rising is great. I think there was one other classic song on hear. The rest was southern flair of rock I'd expect from CCR, but it didn't hit me the same way Cosmo's factory did

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Jul 02 2026

Fun punkish alt rock vibes. I think it's what I expected them to sound like

The White Album by Beatles
Jul 03 2026

Great catchy album. The notorious number 9 song is as bizarre as I always heard and probably the only song I'd ever skip

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jul 04 2026

Alright classic southern feeling rock. Nothing particularly stood out, but I wouldn't mind it being on again

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jul 05 2026

This annoying album cover haunts me. I seem to find multiple copies all the time when flipping through stuff; or I'm remembering wrong and I just see a copy on the wall all the time and I can't escape it. Either way, don't like it. The music itself was bizarre. Just enough enough to be interesting and not outright hate it, but I couldn't listen to it and not be doing something else at same time

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jul 06 2026

Immigrant song is cool and stands out to me, but the rest is just classic led Zeppelin sound that you're either into or your not

Jul 07 2026

Decent punk vibes and energy from finding I've not heard of. Could easily drive influence they had on a few future bands

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jul 08 2026

Interesting music from someone I've never heard of. Didn't appeal to me, but nothing to complain about

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 09 2026

Okay music. Some songs I was familiar with, but I don't know if I heard them as covers or different versions but none sounded quite how I thought I remembered them

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jul 10 2026

Thought it was great guitar playing, but nothing more specific stood out

Jul 11 2026

I liked the sound. Might be because of the artwork but reminded me of a fantasy novel's soundtrack

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 12 2026

For some reason it wasn't exactly the sound I was expecting it. I guess I'm not as familiar with elvis as I thought. Alright album. I feel the artwork is more iconic than the album itself

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 13 2026

I remember when this one came out. Found a lot of the singles enjoyable and catchy. That is until it got overplayed and it's brilliance was shoved down my throat. Revisiting it, in whole, it's okay. Still some fun, but a lot of my bitterness remains and I can't see it's brilliance

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jul 15 2026

Not familiar with the band but I listen to things like it. Bizarre alt electronic acts that's definitely not going to be for everyone. Not sure why this one is considered a must listen to compared to other similar acts.

Traffic by Traffic
Jul 16 2026

Classic rock sound. Decent vibes. Something kind of reminded me of zepllin

Infected by The The
Jul 17 2026

Something remind me of oingo bingo, or someone like that. It sounded familiar in a way that I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of bands I currently like are familiar with this band.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jul 18 2026

Alright Old Rock. Listened twice and still nothing really sick with me, but nothing to complain about. Okay, maybe the song about the devil and money stuck with me

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jul 19 2026

Alright, chill rock vibes.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jul 20 2026

Good rhymes, kind of chiller than I expected

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Jul 21 2026

Interesting. Kind of different. Can see some influence this may have had

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Jul 22 2026

More the Elvis I expected. Liked this better than some other Elvis albums that have appeared on this list

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jul 23 2026

Some okay punk here and there; but starts out pretty whiny and occasionally gets into jam session territory. Overall, I don't think I needed to listen to it

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 24 2026

Bruce isn't for me, but I can't explain why. Nothing to complain about

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jul 25 2026

That was trash. Anything close to redeemable was quickly erased seconds after those thoughts would occur

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jul 26 2026

It was really chill, nice music, that probably would've been better listened to at night. Not what I was expecting. Some songs I did think sounded similar

Nowhere by Ride
Jul 27 2026

Unless I'm in the mood for it, shoegaze is hard for me to get into. It doesn't sound bad, but it's so easy for me to get distracted and pay attention to things like lyrics

Quiet Life by Japan
Jul 28 2026

Okay synthpop. Didn't actually stand out to me, but maybe they influenced people later; I'm not sure about their history. Wasn't a big fan of their cover of all tomorrows parties

The La's by The La's
Jul 29 2026

Alright alt rock. All of it seems eclipsed by 'there she goes'.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 30 2026

Shoegaze again. Some of it was okay, some of it included some screeching noises, nearly all of it quickly became background music to a wandering mind

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Jul 31 2026

Alright alt 90's. Definitely have the sound of the band characters in 90's teen drama are excited to go see (or play prom), and then later you got to see that band half ass play during the episode. Fun faster version of Mrs Robinson.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Aug 02 2026

Was familiar with who the band was, never listened to entire album. Funky dance music. Kind of fun. Kind of cool to listen with headphones and to hear certain things travel between left and right speaker, but it was used a few times and became less of a neat effect each time. Bit of a fun listen, but nothing I need to revist

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Aug 03 2026

Wasn't sure what to expect, but it was some nice jazz. One track did have vocals, but other than that, all instrumental. Kind of nice energetic way to start the day

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Aug 04 2026

Energetic music. I somewhat recognize this ones significance having talked about the artist in history of music course back in college. However, not for me. Glad it was a shorter album

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Aug 05 2026

Definitely unique sound to vocals. Beats were a bit chill. Wasn't really My thing, everything blurred together pretty early on

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Aug 06 2026

I remember this coming out, liking it, then eventually thinking it was over hyped. Like a pendulum I think I'm back to it a pretty good album. I wouldn't say they made their sound first, but they did it very well

Aug 07 2026

Couldn't relate to lyrics, probably wouldn't listen again, but ultimately vived with it. Seemed like fairly decent workout music and helped me to keep pushing myself. Can't explain it

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Aug 08 2026

Not bad rock. Over quickly though. Reminded me of some more recent small alt rock / punk bands I enjoy. Probably won't remember them, but it's one I wish I could and would probably be convinced to buy some albums from unheard to see if similarities persist

Abbey Road by Beatles
Aug 09 2026

Classic art, some classic songs. Might be my favorite Beatles album. Kind of zoned out towards end for some reason

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Aug 10 2026

Didn't think I know who this was, then realized he did a bunch of songs for the lost highway soundtrack. Good portion of album reminded me of that work. Music that was thrilling or intense jazz / electro. Cool to hear more of the guy. Not sure I'll remember name though, might stick to lost highway dude

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Aug 11 2026

Classic heavy metal. The title track still stands out; the rest blurs together for me, but that's ok
