Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jan 02 2025

Well, it was pretty nice to hear. Loose, fun enough, yeah, I liked that one quite a bit.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jan 03 2025

Not that much into jazz, it's always a bit too slow and meandering for my tastes but this one was nice and pretty enough, I understand why it has the reputation it has.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 04 2025

Crushing, sad, depressing, angry, relentless, metallic, pounding... this album hasn't left me since I was 16-17 and still doesn't!

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jan 05 2025

Some songs were pretty forgettable and blues is not exactly the music genre that moves me the most, frankly (plus, Clapton-as-a-person makes me feel a bit icked out)... but most of this album was a pretty good time.

Debut by Björk
Jan 06 2025

The beginning was a bit slow, but when it reached "Like Someone In Love", it really started to show its best qualities, especially with the more ambient, slow stuff. Pretty cool!

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 07 2025

That fly, fo'sure, was super. Nah, for real, it was a funky enough time, honestly.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jan 08 2025

The skeet of lil bill in which he says Presley would have fucked his own mom if given the chance will stay in my head more often than this album. No, seriously, there's some nice songs but I really don't see what is special with this one.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 09 2025

Maybe the first full country album I've listened to. Honestly, a good introduction to the genre proper. (also, OK, the album's sound really was exactly like the title, OK, nice)

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jan 10 2025

It was nice, I guess.

Jan 12 2025

Despite having listened to a lot of singles from the band since my childhood, I never felt that compelled to listen to a full album of them. Fortunately, I've finally fixed that and, honestly, this bittersweet melancholy all across the songs alone makes it a very good listen!

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jan 13 2025

The repetitiveness of all of it means that the songs live or die on the strength of the main loops and beats. Fortunately, a lot of them are quite strong.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 14 2025

Yeah, it kind of makes me want to have sex with someone. Good job, Marv'.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jan 15 2025

Didn't thought this album would be such a blast of energy and good melodies (especially since Hüsker Dü, so far, didn't gave me a lasting impression) but damn, Mould and Co. really delivered with this one!

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jan 16 2025

The hotel was a bit old and decrepit and the bed was not the most comfortable ever, but the music was nice and the food was good.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jan 17 2025

I realize that I have some troubles getting into music where the instrumentals are not that prominent, but that still wasn't bad at all. Even good. Oh, and I like the tragicomedy aspect of "One Last Dance".

Jan 18 2025

Not every song is a classic (no, I'm not that hot on "Devil in a New Dress") and reminiscing about it makes harder to swallow the fact that Kanye is less than a shadow of who he used to be now... but it's still packed with bangers and one of the albums that introduced me to the endless possibilities offered by sampling. So... yeah, classic album.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jan 20 2025

Already listened to before and I wish I had this as the next album instead of FGTH.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 21 2025

So prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... :D

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jan 22 2025

Very eighties in sound and very dated, but frankly, it still manages to pull off more than one good song!

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jan 23 2025

Forgot to rate it yesterday. Anyway, yeah, it was more accessible than I thought it would be, considering who Beefheart is, but that wasn't a flaw of it, far from it!

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jan 24 2025

Both dreamy & acidic, some songs meander a bit but I enjoyed it.

Be by Common
Jan 25 2025

I've heard this album when I was 24 years old. And what I loved most, he had so much soul... (no, for real, putting aside the fact that mentions of Dave Chappelle aged horribly and that I wished Kanye kept doing great music instead of trying so hard to offend everybody, this is a very, very good rap album!)

Jan 26 2025

I should really ask people who know more than me about country for recs. I dunno, it's nice but a bit repetitive.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 27 2025

A bunch of pretty nice songs, but ultimately, the album is heavily weighed down by the fact that it's way too damn long and not every song is a winner, far from it.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 28 2025

A pretty long album but, unlike "Blood Sugar Sex Magik", there's a way stricter quality control here and the songs are generally pleasant and nice and breezy and good to listen to, with enough subtle variations in the sounds to keep you interested. Very good!

Destroyer by KISS
Jan 29 2025

Good ol' classic butt-rock about money and girls and cars and sex and rawk'n'rawl... but frankly, with the energy a bunch of those songs have, I won't complain at all about it!

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jan 30 2025

A very pleasant ride from beginning to end!

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jan 31 2025

The second half is definitely stronger than the first but, overall, an album who is sweet, breezy, full of endless charm and honestly, I wouldn't have minded one or two more tracks. Bravo, Mr. Wonder. Bra-vo.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Feb 02 2025

A very good piece of psych-hard and a proof that sometimes, less is more when it comes to the number of tracks on your album!

Feb 03 2025

My first time listening to the Dead Kennedys (and a first dive into hardcore punk in general) and, even if not all the songs clicked with me, there's a couple of all-time bangers on it!

Feb 04 2025

The first part is classic, but the second part is just a snoozefest (with the exception of some tracks).

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Feb 05 2025

Not mind-blowing, but a consistently good shoegaze-style album that was a very nice experience to listen to!

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Feb 06 2025

Nice and dancey. Also, did I just heard a song that sampled a part of "Amen, Brother" who WASN'T the Amen Break for the first time?

Elastica by Elastica
Feb 07 2025

It's the first album who made me openly think that "woaw, all of this was too short!"... but still, it had a lot of energy and catchy melodies.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Feb 08 2025

I don't think this is the best pop album I've ever listened to but I certainly understand why people feel this way about it. Oh, and MJ & Paul are funny together in "The Girl Is Mine".

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Feb 09 2025

Lots of those songs enter by one ear and go out by the other but it's still pleasant while it lasts.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Feb 10 2025

I liked this one more than other old-timey punk albums, I'll say.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Feb 11 2025

Nice and groovy enough!

Feb 12 2025

The title of this comp' is a lie, I have no idea why a compilation is on this list and Pelle's voice kind of annoys me... but there's still a solid lot of rockers here so yeah, it was good.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Feb 13 2025

A record that I'm listening to less than I used to but it was a formative one for me and for a very good reason. Energetic, loud, wacky... what else can I say, it's fucking SOAD.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Feb 14 2025

It's pretty. Just that, pretty.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Feb 15 2025

I don't know if some Valentine's Day melancholy suddenly enhanced it but, God, this is probably one of the most beautiful albums I've ever listened to. Like, damn. Also, "Cherry-Coloured Funk" is one of the best intros to any album ever.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Feb 17 2025

Nicer than a bunch of jazz albums I've listened to before, I would say.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Feb 18 2025

The singles are all-timers and "Policy of Truth" is among my fav songs, low-key.

1999 by Prince
Feb 19 2025

I would probably love this album as a whole a lot more if half the songs weren't SO. GOD. DAMN. LONG.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Feb 20 2025

Often switches between being beautiful and peaceful and being boring.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Feb 21 2025

I thought this would be more low-key but it was actually pretty charming to hear! Especially with the harmonies and all.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Feb 22 2025

An extremely tight and energetic album. That brand of classic hard rock is quite my jam, not gonna lie.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Feb 24 2025

Extremely rocking and grooving, which is a quality that I don't think we see a lot in those old hard-rock albums. Ian Gillan's screams on "Child of Time" are highly satisfying!

Abbey Road by Beatles
Feb 25 2025

I was a bit intimidated to tackle on this album... and then, it gave me a big warm hug and a lot of killer songs showcasing how adventurous and diverse the band was for its time and everything was lovely once again.

More Specials by The Specials
Feb 26 2025

Yes, I did indeed enjoyed myself, thank you.

Bossanova by Pixies
Mar 01 2025

That's the kind of alt-rock I like, to put it simply.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 02 2025

This one was long and a bit arduous... but there was so much good stuff in there that it was worth it at the end. The first disc was my fav, personally.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Mar 03 2025

Pretty run-of-the-mill classic rock but when it bangs and goes hard, it's still very enjoyable to hear!

John Prine by John Prine
Mar 05 2025

Maybe I should listen to more modern country. The more classic type is nice but I never manage to love it completely, which is frustrating.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Mar 06 2025

Kind of repetitive after a while but far from being bad.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 07 2025

I really like Smith's brand of indie folk/rock and this one isn't a classic for nothing!

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 08 2025

Generally, I don't relisten to albums I've listened to before... but for this one, doing it was a very good idea. So damn beautiful...

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Mar 09 2025

Damn. This album is a little more than 50 minutes and yet, it felt like only 30. Is it Waits' voice? Is it the instrumentals? Is it the sonic palette and diversity? Nah, it's all of this at the same time.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Mar 10 2025

This doesn't do it at 100% for me but still, with the bossa-nova elements, I feel that this helps it sticking more than other old jazz albums I've listened to before.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Mar 11 2025

Not as crazy as "Shake Your Rump" seemed to have promised but just for showing what sampling could allow everyone to do, I respect the hell out of this album.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Mar 12 2025

Yeah, no, I can't be bothered with that (and I listen to albums made by shitheads a lot).

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Mar 14 2025

Maybe I don't understand shit about the story of this album but this production and those beats... damn. Like, woaw. Like, bravo.

Mar 15 2025

Absolutely pretty and "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" is still one of the best album openers, ever.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Mar 17 2025

Yeah, that's funky enough.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Mar 18 2025

After so much great music in just that album, I'm like... damn. Stevie. What a man.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Mar 19 2025

This was a nice album to listen to and the sort of folk music that makes me feel good while it's on. Tho, I prefer "Pink Moon" a little more.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Mar 20 2025

Cheesy, but in a pretty fun and cool way.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Mar 21 2025

Energetic, full of various sounds clashing harmoniously with each other and it never stops sounding very good. Also, holy shit, Cedric Bixler-Zavala is already really close to join the list of my favourite singers ever.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Mar 22 2025

Beautiful, gorgeous-sounding, sad and bittersweet in one of the best ways possible but still warm and friendly, too. This album sounds like you have a big hug while crying.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Mar 23 2025

This one was kind of boring, honestly. Not bad and competently made, but just boring.

Yeah, nah. I have already some troubles with getting into jazz but this? Like, it isn't offensive to my ears but it definitely goes on one of them and comes out of the other.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Mar 25 2025

The rapping is a bit stiff and some beats are too skeletal for my liking but when it hits, it kind of hits hard, ngl.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Mar 27 2025

Switches between giving you a real good slice of world music and being a bit like wallpaper but far from bad!

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Mar 28 2025

A chill rap record in one of the best ways.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Mar 29 2025

Extremely funky but it doesn't always pay off. Good album, though.

The Coral by The Coral
Mar 31 2025

Well, that was actually a very fun discovery to start the week!

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Apr 01 2025

I think I slightly prefer "Blonde" to this one but no matter what's your favourite, you're always eating good with Ol' Frankie.

Arrival by ABBA
Apr 02 2025

Yeah, that's good pop. A bit one-note, but pleasant while it lasts.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Apr 03 2025

A perfect example of a band that shouldn't be just known for their singles. Very good!

Stankonia by OutKast
Apr 04 2025

The album took a bit of time before starting but once it really got it on, it showed me again why genre-blurring is the best thing you can do in art, ever.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Apr 05 2025

If "hot" and "buttered" mean "welcoming" and "engaging" and "pretty", well, this soul is lots of that!

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Apr 06 2025

Yeah, I guess that as one of my first attempts at listening to more Spanish-flavoured music, it's kind of good.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Apr 07 2025

Repetitive at times, but some songs still manage to be banging enough!

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 08 2025

Sometimes, there's musicians who remind you by their sheer talent why they make you feel feelings between "absolute respect" and "Oh, my God, do I have a crush?". Janelle is absolutely in this category for me.

Apr 09 2025

The singles are absolute bangers, that's like saying the sun is shining and the sky is blue. But beyond that, thanks to the excellent beats and 50's charisma in full-force, the album is just really damn fun!

Protection by Massive Attack
Apr 10 2025

Yeah, Massive Attack has no dud in their discography, so far.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Apr 11 2025

I guess I can like plastic a lot, in the right circumstances.

When you listen to it now, it's far from being as subversive as it was in 1977 (plus, Lydon is an idiot, nowadays) but still, sometimes, a good dose of hate and vitriol feels good.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Apr 13 2025

A bit old-timey but charming nonetheless!

High Violet by The National
Apr 14 2025

I already listened to other National albums and found them good but this one... I don't know what it is but man, some of the songs on it are just special.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 15 2025

Some good country-rock songs on it. Not much else to say.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Apr 16 2025

Nice album, but not something I'll keep in mind.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Apr 17 2025

Well-produced and well-performed, but too much boring songs on it for me to consider it very good, let alone a classic.
