Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 10 2025

Putting in my thought for the last three albums because I listened to them all while driving and couldn't write anything down at the time: Hounds of Love by Kate Bush: I think I'm too stupid to understand this (2/5) Urban Hymns by The Verve: Why is Urban Hymns 1 hour and 15 minutes, Urban Hymns (Deluxe) 2 hours and 34 minutes, and Urban Hymns (Super Deluxe) 5 hours and 30 minutes? An average rate of 1 Bittersweet Symphony per hour is crazy. (4/5) Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix: Probably the coolest way to spell 'Jimmy Hendricks' (3/5)

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 11 2025

I think it's really cute that they were originally struggling with this album and not sure if they were going to break up but then they started working together on 'One' and stayed together :)

Skylarking by XTC
Feb 12 2025

Sounds like a perfect spring day. Sadly, I got bad allergies

2112 by Rush
Feb 13 2025

The fact that they made a comic for this entire album bumps it up significantly for me. Hopefully no more multimedia projects are in the future of this

Feb 17 2025

This album is so America-coded, I forgot U2 was Irish

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Feb 18 2025

Take Me Out carries hard, probably the best song from a band named after a racehorse

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 19 2025

Two self-titled albums back to back? Really great for a band with members who don't really exist, with some bangers I didn't even know about before. Will be adding Punk and Sound Check to my rotation

Electric by The Cult
Feb 20 2025

Way more boring than I was expecting for a band and album named like that

Feb 24 2025

I think this 1001 Album thing has made me a fan of Brit Rock, which is starting to worry me

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 25 2025

I will be keeping this man on in the background for everything, this is the exact energy I want in my life

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Feb 26 2025

I wanted to hate it but it really grew on me. It makes me feel like I'm in a children's movie

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 27 2025

I forgot that I actually like Coldplay. Perfect for late night drive, will be adding to the rotation

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 28 2025

I still think it's weird that they rap the lines together? Like I know that Run-DMC did the same but it feels weirder when the Beastie Boys do it. Also "Humpty Dumpty was a big fat egg" from Egg Man is the beginning of the best beef in rap

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 03 2025

Very saucy, I felt off listening to this at work.
