The Specials by The Specials
Nov 26 2024

Iconic. Special if you will

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 25 2024
My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jan 07 2025

Lots of storytelling - sorta like a country song

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 18 2025

This album has been in my car for years

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 19 2025

Now a lot more informed when I say: not a fan of Elton John. Impressive composition and very “big” but not for me

Kala by M.I.A.
Feb 02 2025
Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Feb 03 2025

Some good samples in this one

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Feb 04 2025

Classique

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Feb 05 2025

I thought deep purple were a bit of a joke tbh. But some of these riffs and interplay between the different instruments are tight af

The Slider by T. Rex
Feb 10 2025

Now I’ve heard more T.Rex which is nice but tbh it’s the most for me with these guys I think.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Feb 13 2025

Sensing a theme here lol. Some of the bars in this are ridiculous. Must be one of the funniest rappers going.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Feb 16 2025

Every track is like 4 minutes too long. And the sweeping searching droning does not build to anywhere satisfying.

The La's by The La's
Feb 17 2025

Is it the “Lahs” or “L.A.’s”?

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Feb 19 2025

A lot of effort when into this album. Ambitious in scope. It’s fine. Quite ambling for me. Studio rawness doesn’t do it for me.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Feb 20 2025

I wish all my audiobooks were translated into something more likewikey this’ll dum

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Feb 22 2025

Wow this was astonishing. Spooky, sad, tender, all of it

Feb 23 2025

Really intriguing stuff . Very diverse. Now I can stop mumbling “mmm bm bm mm mmm mmm mmm FORTY FIVE”

2112 by Rush
Feb 28 2025

20 minute rock rhapsody hell yes

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 01 2025

Love this. Raw and very interesting considering what was going on in funk / disco at the time. Melanie believes some of the jingles were copied by other artists and that jorge Ben should invest in better IP lawyers

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 02 2025

The pet shop boys is a crap name for a band…and they make shite music too

Vivid by Living Colour
Mar 03 2025
Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 07 2025

Love this album. Nut for the liberal use of radio EQ on Julian Casablanca’s’ vocals

Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 16 2025

Very wispy and a bit directionless at points. Didn’t hold my attention. Final tunes a banger tho.

Nowhere by Ride
Mar 17 2025

Wasn’t for me. Went nowhere 🥁

Closer by Joy Division
Mar 19 2025

I never liked joy division because of a not-friend who was obsessed. Don’t think this album moved the dial much

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Mar 20 2025

What an interesting voice Tim Buckley has. Intricate and impressive.

John Prine by John Prine
Mar 23 2025

hoooooweeeee

The Undertones by The Undertones
Mar 24 2025

Really fun. Captures a real teenage angsty feel.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 25 2025

Still good but not as fire as the other BM album on here

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Mar 26 2025

Sounds like music written by an arsehole.

Green by R.E.M.
Mar 27 2025

Nice to go beyond the hits. Tracks were all decent but none really shone out for me

B-52's by The B-52's
Mar 28 2025

Yeh pretty cool stuff and sounded like a lot of fun to record. Not always down with the shouty staccato new wave but this was deserving of an exception

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 29 2025

Jumped the gun with this one and listened a few weeks ago. Incredible stuff.

Arise by Sepultura
Mar 30 2025

Goodness gracious. Liked the atmosphere. Heavy metal lyrics are always a bit cringe to me. And some of the solos were just a bit limp for my liking.

Mar 31 2025

Pretty hungover listen so didn’t vibe with me too much. But enough here to warrant a re-listen at some point.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Apr 03 2025

Listened on the back of a motorcycle through mountains. Very nice moment. I like the spaciness of the sounds at points and the liberal use of flute.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Apr 05 2025

Cool shit iconic album

Kenya by Machito
Apr 07 2025

God I loved this the texture the percussion dat sax. A sunny day in Fukuoka

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Apr 09 2025

Nice music to read to. Enjoyed on a train to Busan.

Abraxas by Santana
Apr 22 2025

Nice to hear this side of Santana. Why is oye como va such a banger no matter whose version?

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Apr 23 2025

It’s a very muddy sound. Never quite sure what they’re trying to make me listen to.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Apr 24 2025

Always here for heavy use of vocal effects and synths n shit. I like the vocals when they come in and relatively withheld percussion for the time

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Apr 25 2025

Unfair as this rating includes to other tunes by Pete tosh. Still. Lit.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Apr 28 2025

Another bloody Morrisey album…that I actually rather linked. Caught as I walked through Kyoto on a quiet morning with lots of sun

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Apr 30 2025

Hawktuah. Not the right moment to listen. Soz guys. Actually you know what, just a bit unremarkable for me

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
May 03 2025

Absolutely pumping. Never felt too fussed about thin lizzy’s studio albums but this is really making me reevaluate

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 05 2025

Thought it would be harder. But actually very blues forward. Helpful to situate in rock genealogy

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
May 08 2025

Dunno what it is about Bob Dyland. A great deal of it is not for me. Dylan’s voice is so big in the mix in this album to the detriment of accompanying parts

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
May 09 2025

Unfinishable

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
May 11 2025

I don’t know what she was saying but it sounded good

Scum by Napalm Death
May 12 2025

Sounds like trey Parker parody

Smash by The Offspring
May 13 2025

Some classic songs from youth on here

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
May 18 2025

Fun fun fun

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
May 19 2025

Happy sad.

Bad by Michael Jackson

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jun 24 2026
The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

90 by 808 State

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Aug 03 2026
Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Aug 11 2026

Nothing standout. Plainly good

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Aug 12 2026
Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
