Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Nov 26 2024

Not much of a metal person at all, however, was pleasantly surprised by this album. It wasn't "heavy" which made me appreciate it. You'll find some phenomenal beats and rhythms throughout this piece of art. I would say "Running Free" is the best track on the album followed by "Phantom of the Opera". I struggle to imagine a scenario where I would find myself listening to this style of music.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Dec 03 2024

Phenomenal storytelling, I think the skits really add to the appeal of this album. Completely recommend listening, it is just plain fun all the way through.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Dec 10 2024

You will recognize some tunes off of this, some vocals would be appreciated.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Dec 18 2024

Solid album. The best song on this is "In the Gallery" followed by Sultans of Swing.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Dec 19 2024

Good background music, jazzish style to it in a way.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jan 09 2025

Strange but notable soundbites.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jan 15 2025

It's different.... definitely not good though. I think I enjoyed about 2 songs.

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 16 2025

It's Santana...good guitar not much else to it

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jan 29 2025

Not huge on the Beatles, annoying sound to them.

Signing Off by UB40
Jan 30 2025

Lacks energy and all sounds the same.

21 by Adele
Jun 19 2025

Phenomenal, true talent out of Adele here. Not my favorite genre or style, but acoustically very impressive

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Jun 20 2025

Mountain song & Jane Says are very fun songs, other than that it all kinda blends together.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jun 24 2025

The first track is a top 50 song OAT. The Drugs don't work is beautiful but sad... very sad. Catching the Butterfly isn't anything special but serves its purpose as a mood transition. One day is very god as well. This is a must listen album.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Jun 25 2025

The song "Take Me Apart" is fairly catch with a unique sound. Not my favorite genre by any means. I have never heard of Kelela before this.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Jun 26 2025

UK rap.... not good

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 27 2025

This is bad and weird, and I listen to weird music

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 29 2025

Sounds like Dylan, not the biggest folk rock guy. This was a difficult list for me as I am a huge solo Simon fan. Not horrible, but wouldn't listen to again.

The La's by The La's
Sep 04 2025

Eh, nothing to crazy. Only two good songs on here.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Sep 05 2025

Great vocals, fun album. Definitely past its time frame I think. I would rate this higher but struggle to find a situation where I intentionally throw on this album.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Sep 08 2025

Pretty middle of the pack. I don't think this is Zeppelins best work. It felt very repetitive, minus the hit "Kashmir". A little underwhelming compared to all the hype this album seems to get.

Sep 09 2025

You learn something new everyday, I guess the Rolling Stones covered Otis on "Satisfaction". Great song along with Respect and Change Gonna Come.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Sep 11 2025

I think it's a little unfair to have a live album on this list because it adds to the aura of the album. This is very very good, and I wouldn't consider myself a fan of this genre of music.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Sep 12 2025

A blend of punk, Irish, and drinking songs. It works well, I only think I would listen to this on St Patrick's day or tailgating a Notre Dame Game. Wild Cats of Kilkenny: 4/5 Sally MacLennane: 4/5 London Girl: 5/5 The Body of an American: 4/5

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Sep 16 2025

Two well known songs, other than that, fairly lackluster.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Sep 19 2025

Kingdom of Love is a fairly good tune. Positive vibes has a sweet Sitar riff in it. Fit the "College Rock" genre but are far from being at the top of the genre. I could name 10 better albums in this genre.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Sep 22 2025

Great vocals, not my cup of tea but certainly nothing to hate on here

Odelay by Beck
Sep 25 2025

Wanted to like this but couldn't get behind it.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Sep 29 2025

It's fun, for the time, definitely a different sound. Don't think the shoe fits if you know what I mean. Would I listen to the full album again? No. Are there some songs I will keep in rotation for the rest of my life? Most certainly.

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 30 2025

Did not enjoy at all

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 06 2025

King Kunta- Absolute JAM. Alright- JAM For Sale- Unique beat, prolly the most underrated song on the album Momma- Great tune

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Oct 14 2025

Same tone all the way through. Love under the pressure though

Graceland by Paul Simon
Oct 20 2025

An album I am very familiar with this album, it's one of my favorites. The South African influence on this is so unique and I think revolutionary to the musical world. Favorite Song: Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes Other songs: The Boy in the Bubble, Graceland, You Can Call Me Al, Under African Skies, and Homeless.

Low-Life by New Order
Oct 21 2025

Standard 80s music, big fan of "Elegia".

Oct 29 2025

I have been looking forward to this album as I am familiar with the high-praise it usually receives. Lost one- Really good chorus, has a mix of hip-hop and gospel which compliment each other very well. Ex Factor- Good, not great. I have heard this sampled before. To Zion- Santana on this really elevates the song for me.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Oct 31 2025

Solid early 2000s alternative album.

Nov 03 2025

Opens up very strong, the drums in Politik set the tone and are attention grabbing. This song is a "call to action" and does a great job of it. In my Place, is jaunting. This song has a very clear theme and phenomenal vocals. God Put a Smile Upon my Face- Good guitar in it, nothing special The Scientist- Might be Coldplay's best song. It will make you cry, its absolutely numbing. Clocks- I think its slightly worse than what the general public thinks. I recall this song getting over played on the radio when it fist came out, still not a bad tune though. Daylight- I like the riff in this, feels like a nod to Echo & The Bunnymen's song "The Cutter". Green Eyes- I think this could be left off this album, if I had to pick a song. Warning Signs- Pretty weak A Whisper- Pretty weak as well A Rush of Blood to the Head- Amsterdam- Great way to end the album, fits overall theme

Sound Affects by The Jam
Nov 07 2025

Its British Punk, nothing special, nothing cutting edge if you will. Some solid tracks but nothing that is "music altering".

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Nov 13 2025

Have on CD, gets better the more you listen to it.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Nov 14 2025

It was not bad but not great at the same time. Nothing memorable.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Nov 18 2025

Liked "Our Lips are Sealed", "Lust to Love", and "We Got the Beat". Didn't feel much like a cohesive album though.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Nov 20 2025

I am aware this is on Apple's top 100 albums, which means nothing but something at the same time. Too High is good but Living For the City is exceptional. I probably have listened to it 15 times in the past 24 hours. Cohesively the album works, not a massive fan, but happy I found what I think will end up being one of my favorite songs of all time.

The Clash by The Clash
Nov 21 2025

Great Punk album that was genre altering. Janie Jones, I'm so Bored with the USA, White Riot, London's Burning, and Career Opportunities are solid tracks. Bonus was the cover of Police & Thieves.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 25 2025

It's Bruce, you either like him or you don't. I like him however not my favorite album of his. Enjoyed the following songs: Born in the USA, Cover Me, Darlington Couty, I'm on Fire, Glory Days, Dancing in the Dark, and my Hometown

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 26 2025

Its, dark, gothic, heavy, and unique. It's a must listen, and probably Echo's best album. I am probably biased here, grew up listening to them and have seen them live.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Nov 27 2025

Too long and repetitive, not horrible though.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Dec 01 2025

“Alternative”… try screaming in your face the entire time

Third by Portishead
Dec 04 2025

Super unique and unlike anything I've ever heard before. I would only play this for myself but great background music.

Harvest by Neil Young
Dec 16 2025

Pretty underwhelmed.

25 by Adele
Dec 23 2025

It's classic Adele.

Jan 13 2026

Not terrible but not great. Sound like a British Strokes (might be a stretch). Enjoy the use of a broader range of instruments.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jan 14 2026

This is not my style of rap, still had some solid songs on here.

Ctrl by SZA
Jan 23 2026

Not for me

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jan 26 2026

Calming music, very nice background music.

The Bends by Radiohead
Feb 19 2026

I don't think this is Radiohead's best work.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jun 02 2026

Didn't resonate with me.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 04 2026

It's good, nothing crazy though.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jun 05 2026

Didn't jive with it

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 09 2026

I had higher hopes for this album as Tusk is one of my non-negotiable no skip songs. I think my mindset definitely changed the real rating.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jun 10 2026

Banger after banger.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jun 11 2026

This was unique. I can appreciate the different sound given the time period. I don't believe I would relisten though.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jun 12 2026

It's fun music to listen to while you work. Didn't get bored/tired of it.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jun 15 2026

Tom Sawyer is great. YYZ has phenomenal drumming. However it does get very repetitive.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jul 14 2026

Frank Ocean is new to me. I enjoyed this. Didn't notice anything on my first listen that I wasn't fond of but nothing jump out as exceptionally good. Will be listing to this again.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jul 15 2026

Have listened to this album before. It has a very specific vibe/aura to it. Plays well on a morning walk in the fall.

Jul 20 2026

Not on Apple music so did not listen, which is unfortunate because I enjoy Maggot Brain.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jul 21 2026

Some hits on here, especially Levon. I think some songs could be a bit shorter.
