Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jan 07 2025

Solid album. Where Is My Mind? is great plus the last three songs.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jan 08 2025

I had been meaning to give this a re-listen. Drum and bass solos are amazing. Even more enjoyable than I remembered. Essential listening for humanity.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 09 2025

a sweet little album. Me and Julio is a great song, but not the only gem. Liked Run That Body Down, Armistice Day, and Peace Like a River as well. The reggae rhythms of Mother and Child Reunion clearly foreshadow Graceland.

Be by Common
Jan 10 2025

Feeling bad I laughed at: "I was rollin around, in my mind it occurred / What if God was a her?" Highlights include: Be(Intro), Testify, Chi-City, The Food - Live, Kanye's verse on They Say Good album, but I am not used to rap lyrics/production being kind of saccharine? I could see this pairing well nice with a sunny day, but some of the lyrics are a bit corny.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 11 2025

a nice album. Had no idea she was behind "Son of a Preacher Man." I also enjoyed "Breakfast in Bed" and "The Windmills of Your Mind"

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 12 2025

Listening to this was a chore. Flea’s bass playing was the only highlight. Did not enjoy the lyrics or delivery. Decent songs include: “Funky Monks” “Under the Bridge” “They’re Red Hot” “Give it Away” “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” “Apache Rose Peacock” “Sir Psycho Sexy” were annoying.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jan 13 2025

Amazing album. From "Born Under Punches" to "Houses in Motion" is up there for best song runs on an album. Appreciate the meditative later half- I kind of forgot about those songs and enjoyed the opportunity to re-listen.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jan 14 2025

It's tough deciding my favorite songs of this album. "Revolution Blues" "Motion Pictures (For Carrie)" and "Ambulance Blues" are all great- especially the violin on the last track. Pretty laid back album with a melancholy / turning out of depression feel. Listening to this now after a lot of Bob Dylan, the last three tracks feel a lot like Dylan lyrically which is interesting because I always though of Neil Young's lyrics as being more straightforward than Bob.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jan 15 2025

Haven't listened to this whole album in a few years. "Suzanne", "Sisters of Mercy", "So Long, Marianne" are classics. Appreciated "The Stranger Song" and "Teachers" this go around. Listening to these songs back to back in an album does make them sound "samey" although that is a great sound- of Leonard Cohen's poetry and acoustic guitar. Just wished there was a little more instrumental variation throughout.

Pink Flag by Wire
Jan 16 2025

21 tracks in 35 minutes. Amazing. Would list out my favorites but it’s more than half the album. Strikes me that I have no idea what the signer is saying most of the time. “No silver boollet” “BOOLLET”

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jan 17 2025

Good production and rhymes... but the lyrics are so crazy and violent and full of anger they are almost laughable.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jan 19 2025

Never listened to salsa before but this is fun. This is probably the best album I’ve never heard of that this generator has shown me. Highlights include: “Buscando Guayaba”, “Pedro Navaja” “Maria Lionza” and “Dime”.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jan 20 2025

amazing and wonderful... haven't listened to this album in its entirety since 2017- i would always come back to the first 6 tracks or so, but this showed me that the whole album is beautiful and full of life.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jan 21 2025

Liked this a good bit. Have no idea where but I definitely listened to Black Hole Sun before. Highlights include: “My Wave” “Head Down” “Black Hole Sun” “Half”

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jan 22 2025

Okay- the more popular tracks are good "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", "Spring", and "Nothing Can Stop Us". But the rest of the album is kind of boring, especially the instrumental tracks. "Stoned to Say the Least" sounds like a free Garageband backing track.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 23 2025

Now That’s What I Call Dad Rock Volume 72 Highlights include: “Smoke on the Water” “Lazy” and “Space Truckin’”

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Jan 24 2025

Had no idea I liked tango music like this- great to work to. Highlights include: “Queremos Paz” “Chunga’s Revenge” “El Capitalismo Foráneo” “Last Tango in Paris” and “Vuelvo al Sur”

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 25 2025

Peak Millennial-core. Makes me want to wear skinny jeans and a button up shirt with an obnoxious pattern. Highlights include: "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)" "Une Annee Sans Lumiere" "Wake Up" “Rebellion (Lies)”

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jan 26 2025

Highlights include “Angus Dei” “Crumb by Crumb” Idk this one didn’t click with me- Rufus Wainwright is clearly talented.

The Clash by The Clash
Jan 27 2025

Highlights include: “I’m so Bored with the U.S.A.” “White Riot” “Hate & War” “London’s Burning” “Career Opportunities” “Police & Thieves” “Garageland” Amazing punk album. And I thought “Rock the Casbah” was good…

Boston by Boston
Jan 28 2025

Highlights Include: "Smokin'" Kind of boring unfortunately.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Jan 29 2025

You can't fault them for their ability to think out of the box. More interesting than some of the snoozeville rock on this list. Highlights include: "Constantinople" "The Booker Tease" "Laughing Song" "Lizard Lady" "Semolina" "Weight Lifting Lulu"

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jan 30 2025

fantastic

Jan 31 2025

Highlights include: "What Up Gangsta" "Many Men (Wish Death)" "In Da Club" "21 Questions" Funny lines on this album. A little long though.

Rio by Duran Duran
Feb 01 2025

thought i would hate this for some reason. highlights include "Rio" "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "New Religion" A little cheesy at times.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Feb 02 2025

Fine to listen to while I work. Not the most engaging though, not sure why it is on this list. I think other albums of this genre could have taken its place.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Feb 03 2025

interesting. might grown on me in the future. Highlights include: "I See A Darkness" "Another Day Full Of Dread" "Death to Everyone" "Madeleine-Mary"

Live! by Fela Kuti
Feb 04 2025

good stuff- love the drum solos at the end.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Feb 05 2025

Never actually sat down and listened to this before. Started my Beatles journey from Rubber Soul onwards. Amazing of course. Straight pop songs to the head. Highlights include "A Hard Day's Night" "I Should Have Known Better" "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You" "Tell Me Why" "Can't Buy Me Love" "Any Time At All"

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 07 2025

awesome album. lots of great songs on this. I think I prefer the rawer production on "Live Through This". still great though.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Feb 08 2025

happy to revisit. highlights include "Excursions" "Buggin' Out" "Check the Rhime" "Jazz(We've Got)" "Skypager" "What?"

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Feb 09 2025

stunning. so glad this generator had me revisit this. hard to choose favorite songs but highlights include: "Running Up That Hill" "Hounds of Love" "Mother Stands For Comfort" "Cloudbusting" "Jig of Life"

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Feb 10 2025

this was great. never sat down and listened to an entire Elvis album before, despite my mom being a huge fan. Highlights include: "Wearin' That Loved On Look" "Only the Strong Survive" "I'm Movin' On" "Power of My Love" "Gentle On My Mind" "True Love Travels On a Gravel Road" "In the Ghetto"

Feb 11 2025

Now THIS is some good dad rock. Highlights include: "I Ain't The One" "Tuesday's Gone" "Gimme Three Steps" "Free Bird"

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 13 2025

Pretty good. Highlights include: “Tokyo Storm Warning” “I Want You” “Blue Chair” “Poor Napoleon”

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Feb 15 2025

been meaning to listen to this. Glad I did. Highlights include: “Blue Rock Montana / Red Headed Stranger” “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain” “Denver” “Can I Sleep In Your Arms” “Hands on the Wheel”. Wish it was longer!

The Visitors by ABBA
Feb 16 2025

pretty good- I think I like happy, poppier ABBA more though. Highlights include: "Head Over Heels" "One of Us" "Two For The Price Of One" "Slipping Through My Fingers"

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 17 2025

unfortunately a little boring. production and rapping feels comically dated.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 19 2025

amazed at how great this sounds for a double album… never a dull moment. Before this I only really listened to most of the first disc and 1979. Glad I sat down and listened to the whole thing.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 20 2025

wow this is amazing... was expecting "Frownland" but this is much more pleasant but still experimenetal. All the songs are great, even the extra disc of instrumentals at the end.

Feb 21 2025

great album, probably my least listened to of the main talking heads albums. Highlights include: “Thank You for Sending Me and Angel” “With Our Love” “Warning Sign” “Found a Job” “Artists Only” “The Big Country”

C'est Chic by CHIC
Feb 22 2025

Not bad. Maybe a little too repetitive. Highlights include: “Le Freak” “At Last I Am Free”

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 23 2025

Pretty cool. Highlights include: “The Changeling” “Cars Hiss by My Window” “L.A. Woman” “The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)”

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 24 2025

just great- glad this generator had me listen to the whole album. every song is really good.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Feb 25 2025

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Feb 26 2025

Didn't really click with this one. Not sure why it is on this 1001 albums list... Highlights Include: "Tides"

Palo Congo by Sabu
Feb 27 2025

fine, maybe a little annoying / boring at times. highlight was the guitar rather than the drums.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Feb 28 2025

this was great, a new gem. highlights include: "A Walk Across the Rooftops" "Tinseltown in the Rain" "From Rags to Riches" "Easter Parade"

Mar 02 2025

unfortunately this sounds like glorified hold music… highlights include: “Bullet The Blue Sky”

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Mar 03 2025

Good stuff. Highlights include: “Race for the Prize” “A Spoonful Weighs a Ton” “The Spiderbite Song” “What Is the Light?” “Waiting’ for a Superman” “The Gash”
