Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 20 2025

Surprisingly sad

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 21 2025

Great guitarist and musician. Lots of hits on this album.

Odelay by Beck
Jan 23 2025

Great early career album. Has some of my favorite songs by him on it.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 27 2025

Great singing, songwriting, and production, yet I still don't really like The Beatles.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 28 2025
Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Feb 26 2026

Dude is a poet

Moving Pictures by Rush
Mar 02 2026

It's so much better if I pretend the lead singer is a woman.

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 04 2026

Can't deny it's one of the classics. Surprised how short the album is.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Mar 06 2026

Really good. Never heard of them before. Going to check out their other stuff.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 09 2026

It's like they gave a Taylor Swift wannabe a synthesizer.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 11 2026

Not bad. I finally figured out who sang Son of a Preacher Man.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 20 2026

Decent stuff. Elvis Costello sings funny.

Play by Moby
Mar 24 2026

I didn't know Moby was that much EDM. Good album.

Kenza by Khaled
Mar 25 2026

Not bad for a foreign language album.

Spiderland by Slint
Mar 26 2026

They sound like an opening band at a dive bar. Even though the album was only 30 minutes long it felt like every song was an hour long. Hard to believe they are so highly acclaimed.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Mar 27 2026

Not my jam, but decent music.

Arrival by ABBA
Mar 30 2026

Not bad, but not good.

Apr 02 2026

This album didn't age well. It was a big deal when it came out, but compared to other hip-hop albums in that era, it just comes off as forgettable and average.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Apr 03 2026

One of the greatest albums of all time!

Brothers by The Black Keys
Apr 06 2026

It ws a decent enough album.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Apr 07 2026

Great album! She had an amazing voice and style.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Apr 08 2026

It was ok. Some of the songs had great energy.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Apr 14 2026

Really chill. I didn't care for whatever that brass instrument was.

Vespertine by Björk
Apr 15 2026

I can't listen to Bjork all the time, but she makes very beautiful music. That album is great!

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 16 2026

I love Amy! I think back to black is a much better album, but this one is good.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Apr 17 2026

Decent enough. I thought one song was pretty good.

In Utero by Nirvana
Apr 20 2026

Great album!

The Score by Fugees
Apr 21 2026

Good, but not great.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Apr 22 2026

It's not my favorite, but they way they combine genres of music is very talented.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Apr 23 2026

Pretty, but girl needs to figure out how to write something besides love songs.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 24 2026

Yep, that's reggae...

Tapestry by Carole King
Apr 28 2026

Good album. She is a good singer.

90 by 808 State
Apr 30 2026

What a great album! You can really feel the influences from early electronic music coming together. So many sounds from this album were used across genres of hit music over the next decade.

American Idiot by Green Day
May 04 2026

Green Day is the U2 of punk rock.

Queen II by Queen
May 07 2026

Great music. None of their more famous songs, but good nonetheless.

Dog Man Star by Suede
May 08 2026

Ok, but abit boring. The guy singing sounds a bit like Morrissey at times.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 12 2026

Never knew Black Sabbath did so many slow songs. Good album.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 13 2026

Very influential artist but tough to listen to.

Gold by Ryan Adams
May 14 2026

I don't know how anyone could make it through all 1 hours and 10 minutes of this without falling asleep.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 15 2026

I wish I could have seen them live. Awesome band. Great album!

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 18 2026

Billy Joel is a really talented musician. Great album!

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
May 19 2026

Great, a double album from a pretentious singer who rips off his band mates. A few of the songs are good, though.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
May 20 2026

Conspiracy theory rapper. Closer to spoken word with music than music itself. Decent enough.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
May 21 2026

Absolutely not what I expected. Kendrick Lamar is very talented. Way better than I thought it would be.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 25 2026

Laid back. Good album.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
May 27 2026

Not my favorite Smiths album but still decent.

2112 by Rush
May 28 2026

Not my favorite Smiths album but still decent.

Revolver by Beatles
May 29 2026

Decent but overrated. I do appreciate the musical innovation of the Beatles.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jun 01 2026

Decent, but all their songs sound the same and are too long.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jun 02 2026

Geat album. Not my favorite album by them, but still really good.

Low by David Bowie
Jun 03 2026

Super Awesome! I never knew David Bowie made stuff like this. Way ahead of its time.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 04 2026

This artist deserves both 5 stars and 1 star at the same time. I'm not sure what they were trying to accomplish, but whatever it was they 100% accomplished it.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 05 2026

Shoegaze got off to a rough start. I don't have nearly enough fidelity to listen to this proper. You need a deafening wall of speakers to get this loud enough to appreciate.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jun 08 2026

Good album. Nice to hear something by a female artist that isn't all love songs.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jun 09 2026

Bob Dylan couldn't sing well even if his life depended on it.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jun 10 2026

I wasn't expecting a blues album. Great nonetheless!

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jun 11 2026

Solid album. I don't think it's their best one but is still fun to listen to.

The Clash by The Clash
Jun 12 2026

One of, if not the best, 'punk' bands of the 70's. You can hear their influence on the music of so many artists that came after them.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jun 15 2026

Not a fan of jazz, but it was decent.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jun 16 2026

This album has a lot darker sound than the other Cure albums.

London Calling by The Clash
Jun 17 2026

Good album. Lots of influence on future artists.

Abraxas by Santana
Jun 22 2026

Santana is the ultimate background music.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jun 23 2026

One of the best album intros of all time.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 24 2026

Not what I was expecting. It's good, but in a weird way.

Third by Soft Machine
Jun 25 2026
Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 26 2026

Singlehandedly killed hair metal and spawned a decade of great music. Awesome album!

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jul 28 2026

Once you get really bored of how long and tedious the songs are he breaks out a 43 minute flute solo just to remind you that he hates you.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Jul 29 2026

Sounded just like every other album in her genre of music, but other artists did it way better.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Jul 31 2026

My favorite parts were when the orchestra went from playing halfway decent music to just making noise.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Aug 03 2026

This is what is playing on the jukebox in a dive bar when, fueled by cheap booze and bad decisions, a person 20 years my senior tries to hit on me.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Aug 05 2026

Musically, It's not bad. It has a very unoriginal sound, though. To an untrained listener, they would not be able to tell this artist apart from others who came way before that have the exact same music, voice, and singing style.

Aug 06 2026

Some really great tracks on this album, but for each one there are 4 or 5 songs that are bad, weird, or forgettable.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Aug 07 2026

I think he has better albums, but this one is still fun to listen to.
