Good Old Boys by Randy Newman

Feels dated, even for an album from the 70s. Couldn't make it all the way through.

Guero by Beck
Dec 05 2024
Play by Moby
Dec 09 2024
Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Dec 12 2024

It's not even Goldfrapps best album, How did it get on this list?

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Dec 13 2024

Mixed bag of some brilliant and some bang average stuff. However considering this album was made in 1989 you can see how it's influenced other bands and sounds for years.

Aja by Steely Dan
Dec 14 2024
Forever Changes by Love
Dec 18 2024

Never really got this album. Tried listening a few times and it often ends up just being background music.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Dec 19 2024

Decent metal album. At the time it probably felt fresh, now it feels quite dated.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Dec 20 2024

Really well crafted album. I remember all the hype about it when it came out. Back then didn't particularly get it. Listening back all these years later I can now see why it Was so popular.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Dec 21 2024

Never really been a fan of Willie's voice. So havnt previously taken time to listen to any of his albums. However about halfway through the first listen through I realised what a brilliant album this is. There are loads a lovely musical touches through the album that make it a great listen.

Who's Next by The Who
Dec 22 2024

Great album. Loads or good tracks. Love the Synth organs sounds.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Dec 23 2024

Great album. Although in recent years I've seen some re-appraisals by various music journalists saying it was never as good as people originally made out. I agree it was probably over hyped at the time, but it's still a classic

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Dec 24 2024

Have heard about this album so many times but never got around to listening to it. Turns out I've been missing out on a wonderful collections or songs/music

90 by 808 State
Dec 25 2024

First couple of tracks just sounded like generic late 80s dance. As the album went on it found its place as one of the pioneers of the house/trance scene. It's difficult to review albums out of context as their originality and context is often lost in time. Superceded by acts that built on the pioneers of their time. Pacific 202 and Donkey Doctor were faves off this album.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Dec 27 2024

Morrisseys big comeback after a few years away. Sounds like all the other Morrissey albums. Not convinced anything after Morrisseys solo Debut should be in this list. It's a good album but not essential listening.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Dec 28 2024

Rap not really my thing. Certainly not gangsta rap. But this albums got a decent sound to it. Wonder how it would feel with different lyrics. Most of the stuff on this album sounds like the wild fantasies of a teenage boy. This will be a once and done album.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Dec 29 2024

Decent album. Enjoyable laid back ballads and rock tracks.

War by U2
Dec 31 2024

An album dominated by 2 of its opening 3 tracks. Sunday Bloody Sunday and New year's day. 40 years on they are still monumental. The rest of the album still holds it's own all these years later as well. Some of the bass lines on the album are pushed right to the front of production which drive the songs along. Refugee however reminds me of Adam and the Ants. Entertaining but a slightly odd fit to the rest of the album.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jan 02 2025

The first and still my favourite Foo Fighters album

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jan 03 2025

Great Beach boys album that is a step up in sound from their previous stuff and a hint at what might come with Pet Sounds.

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 04 2025

Good album. Eddies Guitar comes through a bit to much in places. It can be too dominant in the mix. I'll Wait could be a phil collins song. But hit for teacher, Panama and Jump are all classics.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jan 05 2025

Album is OK although not particularly interesting. You can hear the influence it had on bands that came after.

Protection by Massive Attack
Jan 06 2025

Cracking Album.

Jan 07 2025

One of the classic albums of the 90s. Everybody Hurts, sidewinder sleeps tonight, man on the moon and Nightswimming all highlights on brilliant album.

Jan 08 2025

Fantastic Album. Had always like Johnny Cash, but hadn't heard any new stuff for years. Then Johnny released this album and it was like listening to something familiar but new all at the same time. For what is essentially a covers album to be included in this chart shows how good Cash and Rubins work on this album is.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jan 09 2025

Never really got this album. A Few decent tracks.

Achtung Baby by U2
Jan 10 2025

Once heck of an Album. It's either this or Joshua Tree for U2s best album.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jan 11 2025

Brilliant album. So many good tracks. It may not be as sophisticated as OK Computer or Kid A but if Radiohead hadn't released those this album would be held up higher as one of the great albums.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jan 12 2025

Morning mid 00s rock.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jan 17 2025

Feels dated, even for an album from the 70s. Couldn't make it all the way through.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 18 2025

Beautiful album. Norah's vocals range from delicate to raw.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Jan 19 2025

Really not my thing. Couldn't make it through a full listen through.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jan 21 2025

Amazing album. Not a bad song on it

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jan 23 2025

Awful awful noise. The disassociation between the vocals and the music has to be heard to be believe. Had the singer even heard the songs before attempting to sing on them? That's if u can call it singing. Possibly one of the worst voices I've ever heard on a record.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jan 24 2025

Really good album.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Jan 26 2025

Remember buying this album back when it came out. Not the sort of music that I normally buy but I really liked it. Still holds up 20 years later

Suicide by Suicide
Feb 12 2025

Weird electronic punk. Some cool sounds.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Feb 15 2025

As the years have gone on I've enjoyed Wings more and more.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Feb 16 2025

Utterly boring.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Feb 17 2025

One of the best live albums of all time.

Dookie by Green Day

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 21 2025
Dummy by Portishead
Feb 25 2025
Fragile by Yes
Mar 01 2025

Worth Listening to for Squires Bass playing alone.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 09 2025
What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
May 08 2026

Enjoyable album, but easily fades into background music.

Garbage by Garbage
May 12 2026

One of the Best albums of 1995
