Who's Next
The Who
The Who have always been a band to me that aren't greater than the sum of its parts. While I respect every member as musicians, especially Keith Moon whose style I love, the music of the group never really does it for me.
I knew the main hits and was a fan of Behind Blue Eyes and Won't Get Fooled Again. Love Ain't For Keeping was a new track for me, I loved the sound of it and Entwistle's performance. The rest of the track list just isnt very interesting to me and I've never been a big fan of Baba O'Riley.
Decent album but not music I listen to very often.

Very pleasent jazz with good variety of sounds.

Eagles
Eagles
Not knowing the Eagles much, I'm surprised by the country rock here.
The 2 first singles are pretty solid but the rest just isn't very interesting to me.

Maggot Brain
Funkadelic
Great funk and quite varied too. While I'm a bigger fan of P-Funk than Funk Rock, this is a great album and definitely a classic. Also a good place to start if you havent listened to funk.

Jan 24 2025
Paul's Boutique
Beastie Boys
Probably my favorite album of all time and I will never get tired of listening to it.
In fact, as I listen to more music I end up liking this album more because I can recognize more samples after each listen.
Pristine production and some of the best rapping chemistry you'll listen to.
Love this.

Bringing It All Back Home
Bob Dylan
I'm very surprised and impressed.
Having never listened to a Bob Dylan album and not really considering myself a folk fan, I loved this album.
Both side A and B, as different as they are, have a good collection of tracks and honestly, no bad songs.

Jan 26 2025
Live At Leeds
The Who
This makes me get The Who more than anything I've listened to before. Live they showcase their talents and energy better than in the studio.

So Much For The City
The Thrills
Not bad just not my type of music

Jan 28 2025
Cheap Thrills
Big Brother & The Holding Company
Very good but but not particularly special. 3.5

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Eurythmics
Not bad just not very interesting. The title track is of course amazing.

Hysteria
Def Leppard
Didnt enjoy this at all. Honestly difficult to sit through.

Orbital 2
Orbital
Solid but nothing out of this world for me. Since songs are long, the ones that didnt interest me dragged.

Feb 01 2025
Parachutes
Coldplay
Last year was the year I discovered I do like Coldplay, and this re-listen confirms it. This is just really good, I love how it sounds, melancholic and warm.
I think the hatred many have for this band blinds them to the fact they did start their career with a really good album
4
Feb 02 2025
Arc Of A Diver
Steve Winwood
Came in with no expectarion and I really liked it, very well executed 80s pop, good synth and quite funky.
4
Feb 03 2025
Virgin Suicides
Air
Decent. Generally not a big fan of soundtrack albums but theres a lot of good tracks here. Some are just background music though.

Feb 04 2025
Surrealistic Pillow
Jefferson Airplane

Feb 05 2025
Teen Dream
Beach House
It sounds good, it's atmospheric but it didnt really interest me.
3
Feb 06 2025
The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
Pink Floyd
Listening to this for the second time I like it more than the first. But its still just not as good to me as their 70s work.
The atmosphere is amazing, but the music not as special to me.
Still, this would be a lot of artists best album.
4
Feb 07 2025
16 Lovers Lane
The Go-Betweens
Good. Easy. Not special.
3
Feb 08 2025
Bayou Country
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Great bluesy rock that gets to another level with the vocals. Fogerty easily one of the best rock vocalists out there.
4
Feb 09 2025
Stand!
Sly & The Family Stone
Just an incredible display of psychedelic soul and funk, with only a slight problem with album flow. Anyone that likes funk will love this.
4
Feb 11 2025
Never Mind The Bollocks, Hereβs The Sex Pistols
Sex Pistols
I dont know why I didnt really like this on first listen but Im glad I could give it another chance because this is just fundamentally good punk. Catchy and full of energy.
4
Feb 12 2025
Penance Soiree
The Icarus Line
I do think this was better than I expected. Its not bad, just not memorable. I dont like the mix of clean production with attempts at noise with feeback. Not very memorable but not bad at all.
3
Feb 13 2025
The Trinity Session
Cowboy Junkies
Good sound and production but not very memorable.
3
Feb 14 2025
Disraeli Gears
Cream
Side A is just much more interesting than Side B. Still overall a very good album
4
Feb 15 2025
All Directions
The Temptations
Loved the funk, side A is perfect, side B gets slower and less interesting but finishes strong
4
Feb 16 2025
Bad
Michael Jackson
This era of pop can be very hit or miss for me, but this is overall another good album from MJ, not much worse than Thriller imo.

Feb 17 2025
Movies
Holger Czukay
Weird but nothing sticks with me. Maybe I should listen to Can first.

Feb 18 2025
Purple Rain
Prince
Just an incredible album, I dont have the words to describe it.
5
Feb 19 2025

Aimee Mann
Really enjoyable pop rock that scratches the right itch, not exactly memorable though.

Gasoline Alley
Rod Stewart

Feb 21 2025
This Is Fats Domino
Fats Domino
Assuming I listened to the right songs, this is a good record, pretty timeless for something almost 70 years old. It doesnt stand out as it maybe did at one point but I liked it. Especially the first half.
4
Feb 22 2025
It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Public Enemy
I really like Public Enemy but honestly I dont like this as much as I should, it's not great as an album experience but it has good tracks.

Feb 23 2025
Let England Shake
PJ Harvey
Loved it, love the sound, the creativity, just the overall feel of this album. Great experience.
4
Feb 24 2025

Good and varied tracks. I like how many genres it covers but there are weaker tracks, like the annoying coconut song.

Feb 28 2025
Entertainment
Gang Of Four
I thought I'd like this much more. I like the sound and production of it but not so much the composition. There's 3 great songs and a lot of meh.
Worth a re-listen because I like the ideas, maybe my ear needs more training for this.
3
Mar 01 2025
The Wall
Pink Floyd
While I'm not that interested in the concept, the album is still great. Probably their weakest of the 70s.
4
Mar 02 2025
Steve McQueen
Prefab Sprout
This is good. The first half has some really good songs but then the rest just blends into the background. Its good but unmemorable music.
3
Mar 03 2025
Our Aim Is To Satisfy
Red Snapper
Some good sounds and beats, but hit and miss track list. Some songs are great and others pretty annoying to listen to, they shouldnt all be 5 minutes long.
Still, very atmospheric music that really fits the cover with great opener and closing tracks.
4
Mar 04 2025
Grace
Jeff Buckley
Not bad just not for me.
3
Mar 05 2025
Kenza
Khaled
Just too long and too poppy. But not bad, the songs with more maghrebi instrumentation being the best here. Just feels like peak CD era with that bonus track.
3
Mar 06 2025
Mama Said Knock You Out
LL Cool J
Some good songs, but too bloated. Easy to lose interest listening to it.
3
Mar 07 2025
Tanto Tempo
Bebel Gilberto
The lounge easy listening songs here bore me but theres some interesting tracks near the end. Inoffensive.

Mar 08 2025
Abraxas
Santana
Love the sound of this so much.
4
Mar 09 2025
Gris Gris
Dr. John
Pretty cool. I like when old albums can sound so unique. Its not all killer but definitely an interesting listen. Also I had no idea he wrote walk on guilded splinters, I love that song.

Lazer Guided Melodies
Spiritualized
Very atmospheric but boring

Mar 11 2025

This is really good. I love how diverse the instruments can get, every outro and instrumental moment has interesting details.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You
Aretha Franklin
A lot of great material with amazing vocal performances by Aretha. Some meh songs too.

From Elvis In Memphis
Elvis Presley
Great album. No bad songs. This is the best Elvis sound
4
Mar 18 2025
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John
Piano Rock done right, basically no bad songs and only 2 I'd say don't interest me much.
Just a great album, easy to listen to but still complex in its song writing and musical pieces.
Surprisingly varied too.
5

So
Peter Gabriel
Lovely, great sound overall and with a great smash hit in sledgehammer.
4
Mar 24 2025
Stankonia
OutKast
Great album, with 3 of my favorite OutKast songs ever. However, as a whole I dont like it as much as ATLiens or Aquemini, it has better peaks but as an album experience its weaker.
The first half is borderline perfect, but the second has songs that dont connect with me.
4
Mar 26 2025
Fishscale
Ghostface Killah
Absolutely loved it. Ghostface is quickly becoming one of my favorite rappers. Very versatile rap albums with a lot of fire.
I've already listened to The Champ like 20 times after listening to this album
5
Mar 29 2025
Thriller
Michael Jackson
This got even better with re-listens. I thought I liked Bad more than Thriller but I waa wrong.
4
Mar 31 2025
Appetite For Destruction
Guns N' Roses
2.5/5
I love the hit singles here honestly. Theyre genuinely great tracks. The rest is so mediocre to me, a lot of great riffs wasted on boring songs.

Strangeways, Here We Come
The Smiths
Not my favorite Smiths album but this still has a lot of good material. Fundamentally good music.

Apr 04 2025
Kick Out The Jams (Live)
MC5
Not much that stands out. Theres some interesting parts and I like the sound. Maybe I should give it another listen in the future.

Apr 05 2025
London Calling
The Clash
I dont like calling albums perfect, but this has no major flaws. Versatile album with memorable songs exclusively. Gets better every time I listen to it.
5
Apr 06 2025
Protection
Massive Attack
Another good Massive Attack album. Headphone music, rainy day music. While not as exceptional as other albums in their discography, very good.
4
Apr 07 2025
The Idiot
Iggy Pop
At first I wasnt sure I was gonna like it because the title track wasnt what I expected. But as it went on I loved it, the back to back of China Girl and Dum Dum Boys is a highlight to me. Especially the latter, thats my type of song.
I appreciate drone music with good bass.
4
Apr 08 2025
Lust For Life
Iggy Pop
Not as good as The Idiot. Side A is great but Side B loses some steam. Still, versatile and enjoyable album. I love Iggy Pop's music.
4
Apr 15 2025
The Marshall Mathers LP
Eminem
First I gotta say that the production is absolutely classic. No bad beats. Second, this is one of those albums that grow on me with time. Theres still some songs I dont care for much, but it has a lot of great material.
Stan, The Real Slim Shady and Bitch Please II are all some of my absolute favorite.
4
Apr 16 2025
Nothing's Shocking
Jane's Addiction
Great soundscapes and some of my fav guitar work, both lead and bass. The first half is stronger than the second, as a whole its a very good album.
4
Apr 22 2025
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Arctic Monkeys
I really enjoyed this one. The first half has a ton of fun rocking riffs and the second still has great but softer songs. 0 bad songs.
4
Apr 24 2025
Since I Left You
The Avalanches
Fantastic. Frontier Psychiatrist is a true work of art. The rest of the album is really good, but that one song in particular really stands out.
4
Apr 25 2025
Led Zeppelin IV
Led Zeppelin
Absolute classic. My favorite Led Zeppelin by a lot, Stairway will never be overplayed and When The Levee Breaks is my fav song in their catalogue, and one of my favorite of all time.

Kraftwerk
I like Kraftwerk but I feel like I still havent been able to fully appreciate an album in its entirety. Love the title track and closer.

May 03 2025
All Things Must Pass
George Harrison
Nearly perfection. To drop this just after leaving The Beatles is incredible. The last half hour of jamming shouldnt be here though.
5
May 10 2025
Nevermind
Nirvana
Fantastic. No bad songs. A lot of great ones.

May 12 2025
Vulgar Display Of Power
Pantera
Its ok, most of it is kinda flat other than the 2 main singles, and the last track. Pantera are just great at ballads

I love Lou Reed's dead pan vocals. The big hits are fantastic although there are some songs that dont do much for me. Great album.

Amazing track list and material. For a folk album its very diverse as well.

Nearly flawless reggae album. I think I like the deeper cuts more than the bigger hits.

Incredible sound but its not music I listen to. Deserves more listens from me.

Let's Get It On
Marvin Gaye
One of the sexiest and smoothes albums Ive ever listened to.
4
Jun 23 2025
Is This It
The Strokes
Much better than the last time I listened to it. I do think its a very pleasent listen and it deserves to be called a modern classic. Its just not music I go back to often.

Ready To Die
The Notorious B.I.G.
Just an absolute classic. Gets a bit weaker near the end.

The Queen Is Dead

Love it. Love the sound, the songs, it just feels great to listen to

Jul 02 2025
Led Zeppelin II

Probably my least fav Led Zeppelin album, I just dont like the structure of most songs here. The musicianship is top as always.

My Generation
The Who
I really wanna love The Who but I dont find the music very exciting, I love the individual performances but not the finished work.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying
Megadeth
One of my favorites and honestly surprised it's here. Classic, especially the entire first half.
5
Jul 10 2025
Sheer Heart Attack
Queen
I will always believe Queen are a singles band. Killer Queen is amazing and the rest isnt. The 2nd half is just boring to me.

Led Zeppelin III
Led Zeppelin
Better than 2 worse than 4.

Physical Graffiti

Fantastic. It always impresses me how longer albums can be so incredible track per track.

Boston
Boston
Pretty great, no bad songs really. I love Foreplay/Longtime and Peace of Mind, the deep cuts are decent but I dont know how much I will return to them.
4
Jul 22 2025
Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
Honestly not a fan of the country Stones songs. Even country honk is better in its blues version. Absolutely love gimme shelter and monkey man, however.
3
Jul 24 2025
Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath
Classic. Even without taking into account this is the first LP of an entire genre, its a great listen. Side A and the closer are great, the guitar tone inspired millions and even more with how great the riffs are. The rhythm section as always holding everything together, though the sound of the drums could improve. Birth of a genre and the legend that's Ozzy. RIP.

Jul 25 2025
In Rainbows
Radiohead
Love everything about it. Complex sounds, fantastic listen.
5
Jul 26 2025
Automatic For The People
R.E.M.
Lovely. Never listened to an REM album fully before and I'm glad I did. American Smiths.
4
Jul 30 2025
1984
Van Halen
Van Halen are one of the hard rock bands I never listen to but this did surprise me. Side B has some solid deep cuts. The main hits dont really do it for me. I know EVH is mega talented but I dont like his style or tone, never like David Lee Roth's vocals either.
3
Aug 03 2025
Truth And Soul
Fishbone
The opening track teased me and made expect more funk metal, overall its ok, its fun but I will only come back for a couple of tracks. I do want to check the rest of their music now.

System Of A Down
System Of A Down
Such a weird album. Theres good weird and annoying weird but I enjoy it.
4
Aug 07 2025
Billion Dollar Babies
Alice Cooper
Underwhelmed me. Its not bad at all. But I wanted it to be darker, heavier. But it was mostly inoffensive in its sound.
