Ok album, some good classics, indian vibes, and the late 60's vibe I usually like is there too. Globally a bit tasteless for me but understandable why it was so much appreciated back in the days

Jun 30 2024

Like R.E.M but quickly get sick of his voice. Some great songs but 50 min is too long for me !

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jul 01 2024
The Bends by Radiohead
Jul 02 2024

My favorite album of Radiohead, probably because its an older album.

Atomizer by Big Black
Jul 04 2024

Definitely abrasive and could not enjoy the voice nor the rhythms. Strage things was pretty good though

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jul 05 2024

peculiar album, with commercials in between every song. It's hard to get into it. Would probably be better to listen to all the songs and skip the interlude onces. The song themselves are fine.

Jul 06 2024

Some memorable songs like right here, right now, the rockafeller skank and praise you The rest of the album is easily forgettable 3.5

No Other by Gene Clark
Jul 08 2024

Enjoyed the voice, enjoyed the melodies. Silver Raven is probably my favourite but the album itself is good

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jul 09 2024

Before starting this journey, I did not know I would enjoy Frank Sinatra but I do :) Brings you to another dimension and time and that's what you want from music

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jul 10 2024

I enjoyed it and would definitely go back to it. Sounds like Steppenwolf to me. Pablo Picasso - Modern World but the album is globally good and consistent

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jul 11 2024

Difficult album to rate. I don't really like the voice but really enjoyed the abrasive guitar riffs. reminded me of Les Berurier noir 3.5

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jul 13 2024

Not the worst of Radiohead but apart from a song or two, I could not wait to reach the end of the album! His voice is irritating me !

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jul 14 2024

Reggae and Jazzy ! Did not really enjoy the beginning or the end. That's not the music you'd expect from Edinburgh !!! Thought that Toots and Maytals were singing instead of him in some songs. I'll revisit it 3.5

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jul 15 2024

On the contrary to GJS, I did enjoy the voice and the 60's vibe. Some indi vibes as well that I enjoyed. Nice discovery here.

Nixon by Lambchop
Jul 17 2024

Some nice songs like Nashville Parents but for the rest I'd say its just background music. Nothing really to remember here

Face to Face by The Kinks
Jul 18 2024

Very 60's as expected. Not really my style but the album is fine.

Jul 19 2024

I'd say 3 for the first album and 2 for the second. Some good material here and there but heavily diluted in the 2 hours long and quite painful albums. Happy to be done with it!

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jul 21 2024

Not bad, feel like you have 5 albums in 1. Unfortunately nothing outstanding. This will remain an interesting album but forgettable.

Being There by Wilco
Jul 22 2024

I would qualify this album as fine but long. It's a bit like spreading a tiny amount of jam on a large piece of bread ! Better using less bread

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Jul 26 2024

Not bad, eclectic and with some nice vibes ! Genius of love for Mariah's Fantasy inspiration ! Will definitely revisit 3.5

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 27 2024

Surprised myself with some foot-tapping along the album. Still not my music but it was not too bad

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Jul 28 2024

Did not know it and discovered that I did not need it ! Like if there was not enough of Nick Cave album

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jul 30 2024

Very pleased to discover more of George Harrison. Even the jam sessions at the end are pleasant as long as you are in the right environment.

Cross by Justice
Aug 01 2024
Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Aug 02 2024

Might like Cohen eventually ! I enjoyed this one, nice songs, lyrics and ballads

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Aug 03 2024

3.5 While I really enjoyed the first 2 songs, the last two were not as catchy. I'd still go back to it

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Aug 04 2024
Aug 05 2024

mitigated opinion here, the vibe is nice but its hard to really find a mood to listen to this. I'll be happy to revisit it though

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Aug 07 2024

Really took me a while to made up my mind on Dr John. Hated it at first and kind of liked it on the long run. Not sure, I'd like to revisit it but why not 2.5

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Aug 08 2024

Quite enjoyed this one but its slightly darker than Songs of Leonard Cohen. I'd revisit it 3.5

Goo by Sonic Youth
Aug 09 2024

I don't know why I always think that it's going to be hip hop !! Anyway, it's ok rock music, the rhythms are fine and the voice as well. It feels like they all sound the same and make it quite boring

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 10 2024
The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 11 2024

Nice hip-hop I might revisit. Its still not my style but it worth existing Thought Miles was in the room for the song Jazz ! 3.5

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Aug 13 2024

Did not know much of The verve outside the overplayed Bittersweet thing ! Globally a good album with nice riffs. Could be confused with Oasis sometimes but no surprise on this ! Weeping pillow

War by U2
Aug 17 2024

Globally a good album, pleasant to listen and some nice hit in it.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Aug 19 2024

It definitely belongs here but I can't really get caught into it

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Aug 20 2024

A voice recognizable among all others. An album of ballads, not memorable but fine and pleasant to listen as long as you are in the right mood

Snivilisation by Orbital
Aug 21 2024

Falls in the category of nice background music, perfect for working as no one's singing !

Aug 22 2024

Kind of entertaining after several listens. Nothing outstanding though. One of these albums that are fine but with no real soul

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Aug 23 2024

Quite liked the message but not the hiphop or whatever this is. Not even a single song I knew on this...

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Aug 24 2024
Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Aug 25 2024

Don't like country and probably never will except when you are at Buffalo Grill ! The mandoline is probably the nicest bit of the songs

Real Life by Magazine
Aug 26 2024

Average album. The voice is grating sometime. The major part of the album is forgettable but I kind of enjoyed it. Would revisit it in the future The light pours out of me

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Aug 27 2024

Was enjoying the vibe but nothing outstanding until Sex Machine started! 13.46 worthy minutes

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Aug 29 2024

Surprised myself with my feet moving and my hand banging with the beat ! A bit eclectic but globally pleasant to listen. Would probably not revisit though

Truth by Jeff Beck
Aug 30 2024

Working space was not the right place to enjoy this album. A train back from London at 11 pm seemed much more appropriate to enjoy, the blues, the guitar and some classics. The album itself is not smooth but flows quite well

Debut by Björk
Sep 01 2024
Headquarters by The Monkees
Sep 02 2024

Ok to listen but boring 60's stuff. A bit of Beatles in there and I'm happy to forget about this band

En-Tact by The Shamen
Sep 04 2024

Did not like the first half at all, while the second half reminded me of the Beverly Hills cop sounds from the mid 80's ! Hard to find the right mood to listen to this and the album is quite long 2.5

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Sep 21 2024

No high expectations here but it was not bad to listen. Really hard to find a mood where I'd like to play this music. 2.5

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Sep 22 2024

Peaceful, with different influence like Bossa Nova or middle- eastern. Always pleasant to hear her voice and other material than Son of a Preacher Man

Violator by Depeche Mode
Sep 23 2024

Its a good album with good hits. It took me several listen to make my decision. 3.5

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Sep 24 2024

Despite several attempts, I never managed to enjoy this album

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Sep 25 2024

Only knew Good Feelings for having it heard in HIMYM ! Was actually happy like this. The music itself as nothing bad in it but the voice is grating and get quite painful after a while 2.5

Wild Gift by X
Sep 26 2024

Not a fan of punk rock, its often just noise and meaningless songs. Universal corner for its riff 2.5

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Sep 28 2024

To quote the song time - "Just scream with boredom" Nothing really interesting here but it's not too bad to listen. Time is actually probably my favourite song 2.5

Be by Common
Sep 29 2024

Surprised myself in enjoying this album even though this is not my type of rap. I could probably listen to some of these songs again like "The Food"

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Sep 30 2024

Really tempted to give it a 4 because there's some very pleasant songs but the voice itself is quite annoying and got tired by the of the album. I don't think I'll play them again except for some songs

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Oct 06 2024

A nice album but quite boring sometimes when it sounds too much like the Beatles but it was the era !! My Back pages 3.5

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Oct 07 2024

Great year ! The album is not bad and feel like an average Oasis but somehow quite forgettable. Some nice riffs here and there and I will revisit this sometimes The concept and Alcoholiday 3.5

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Oct 18 2024

Not a big fan of Cohen but got pleasantly caught by this album. Could possibly be something I'd like in the future !

Imagine by John Lennon
Oct 20 2024
Hms Fable by Shack
Oct 27 2024

Never heard of them before, but nice vibe. Feeling in between Oasis and Angus and Julia Stone. Pull Together an Streets of Kenny but the entire album flows well

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Oct 28 2024

Some nice guitars in there but the female voice makes it sound like 90's low cost music.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Oct 29 2024

Lovely voice but I still don't like Jazz, or at least not this jazz. Maybe when I grow up ! 2.5

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Oct 30 2024

The album was quite long but with some enjoyable beats here and there. I guess Dre's touch is what makes this album acceptable for me. Will not become an Eminem fan for sure 2.5

Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 01 2024
Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Nov 02 2024

It's fine. A couple of interesting songs but I'll probably never go back to this again. 2.5

Sep 09 2025
The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Sep 13 2025

Never managed to like this band. Some songs are fine but for most of them I just hear noise and disturbing melodies

The first half was classic Bob Dylan (that I would not really consider pleasant to listen!) I did enjoy the second half much more as it included electric guitar and blues vibes.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Sep 19 2025

3.5 Grateful dead was known for their impro on live and this album is no disappointment on that aspect. Even if I don't really know their music and this album was a bit messy, I really enjoyed the guitar vibe

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Sep 21 2025

I've played this album several times and feel like I'm listening to a random mix. There's no structure and every song seems to be taken out of a different album ! Quite nice to listen but can't really enjoy the album itself

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Sep 23 2025

Some songs are fine but the album is quite boring in its globality

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Sep 24 2025

This album reminded me that this type of rap is definitely not my cup of tea ! Played it twice and really struggled to finish the album both times !

Quiet Life by Japan
Sep 25 2025

Nothing unpleasant here but nothing to remember either.

Marquee Moon by Television
Sep 26 2025

Did not know the band but heard some songs before. Really enjoyed Torn Curtain

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Sep 28 2025

Globally enjoyed it. For not knowing Faith no more material, this was pretty interesting. Surprise! You're dead!

The Yes Album by Yes
Sep 30 2025

I usually like the 70's vibe but never managed to get into this album

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Oct 01 2025
Vivid by Living Colour
Nov 04 2025

Really enjoyed the first listen but got less excited wit the second one. Still some pretty nice guitar lines and vibes

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Nov 05 2025

Enjoyed the cool vibe and the melodies

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Nov 06 2025

Even if my favorite Blondie songs are on this album, the rest of it is easily forgettable and the voice can get quite unpleasant

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Nov 07 2025

4.5 This was very close to get a 5 ! Very nice vibe and melodies.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Nov 08 2025

For Radiohead, the more recent, the more annoying is his voice !

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Nov 09 2025

Enjoy her voice every time a bit more. Nice ballads Help me as my favorite song and Twisted that has nothing to do with the rest of the album

In Utero by Nirvana
Nov 10 2025

Not much to say here, its abrasive, slow, intense, its Nirvana and I like it. Even if half of the songs are easily forgettable, it remains a good album that I'll keep playing.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Nov 11 2025

Nothing to say here. Easily forgettable album. Reminds me a bit of radiohead but less annoying !! 2.5

Pink Flag by Wire
Nov 12 2025

Nothing bad about it, even enjoyed some songs but nothing memorable here.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Nov 13 2025

Another artist I did not know. It was pleasant to listen but nothing really comes out of it. I'll be perfectly fine in listening to it again. 3.5

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Nov 14 2025

Not convinced by the first three songs but pleased with the rest of the album as I could get the Smiths vibe that I like

Fragile by Yes
Nov 15 2025

Same as the Yes album - I don't really like the album or the melodies. Did not manage to get into it after 2 listens so I gave up. 2.5

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Nov 16 2025

The first half was quite painful to listen while the second half provided more appreciable sounds and rhythms. Will probably not revisit this

Low-Life by New Order
Nov 17 2025

Really consistent album with recognizable New order guitar and voice in every song. Particularly enjoyed the perfect kiss and Sunrise but the album as a whole is good

Copper Blue by Sugar
Nov 18 2025

Did not like it on the first listen and started to enjoy it later on. There's some nice songs in it "The slim" for example

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Nov 19 2025

Did not manage to enjoy it.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Nov 21 2025

The album is not bad. I'm not a big fan of Elton John but did not suffer with this album. I find it pretty consistent and would probably revisit it in the future. 3.5

The Next Day by David Bowie
Nov 22 2025

This list will not make me like Bowie but there was some nice guitar lines and vibes in this album. I don't think I will revisit this album though. 2.5

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Nov 23 2025

Nice melodies and enjoyable album once you get used to the voice.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Nov 24 2025

Probably avant-garde at that time and the story behind this band is interesting but I'm probably too young to enjoy it. Might revisit it one day, why not...

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 25 2025

Always a pleasure to listen to her voice. 4.5

As U2 done anything good this century ? Had this CD in my car and never enjoyed it apart from "beautiful day"

Nov 27 2025

Not the best Smiths album to me, a bit less consistent compare to the others but still good.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Nov 28 2025

Not a big fan but some nice songs in here

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 29 2025

Not the Best of the Pet Shop Boys but always pleased to listen to their music

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Nov 30 2025

Much better than expected. Some nice latin vibes in it too. I'd revisit it but its quite long 3.5

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Dec 01 2025

Probably should have stayed playing drums. My favourite song is not even on the original release tracklist Holy Man - Instrumental

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Dec 02 2025

Did not particularly enjoy this album Feel Flows as the highlight of these 35 min

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Dec 03 2025

Not the Worst of Tom Waits but I can't stand his voice and his songs. Jersey Girl was nice but I prefer Springsteen's Why in the world there are 5 albums of Tom Waits in the 1001 list !! 1.5

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Dec 04 2025

Cool vibes and will be revisited 3.5

The Predator by Ice Cube
Dec 05 2025

Not much to say here, good stuff !! 4.5

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Dec 06 2025

Not convinced at first but got caught by her voice and melodies, consistant throughout the album

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Dec 07 2025

Globally boring. Too country for me. Could probably give it another go in the future 2.5

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Dec 08 2025

Pretty good album. Nothing outstanding apart from Gimme Shelter but still

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 09 2025

You play Bob Marley in the morning and all you want to hear for the rest of the day is reggae music. 4.5

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Dec 11 2025

Usually not fan of the live albums but this one was really cool to listen and got thrilled by it !

The Slider by T. Rex
Dec 13 2025

Nothing really in this one... 2.5

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Dec 14 2025

Pleasant, with some hits !!! 3.5

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 15 2025

Another Bowie.... Heroes is one of my favourite songs from him, the rest of the album is fine but forgettable.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Dec 16 2025

Really hard to make a decision here. On some songs it's an enjoyable 70's vibe but (king of the world, Show biz kids) while the rest of the album feels long. Would probably revisit and might change my mind 3.5

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Dec 17 2025

Pretty depressive album Fistful of love being the only song I've enjoyed here

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Dec 18 2025

Interesting background drum and bass style. Not something I would revisit but its not unpleasant to listen and has some nice vibes. 2.5

GI by Germs
Dec 19 2025

Abrasive, unpleasant

Dec 20 2025

Disappointing. Not unpleasant, just the same song over and over feeling ! Is voice is quite annoying after a while too. Tainted love and thats it !! 2.5

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Dec 21 2025

I like the melodies and the guitar, could get a 4 based on that but the voice gets annoying after a while and covers up the rest. Manhattan would probably be the best discovery of this album 3.5

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Dec 23 2025

Nice background music that could be revisited 3.5

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Dec 25 2025

3.5

Woodface by Crowded House
Dec 26 2025

My knowledge of Crowded House was close to 0 before Woodface ! Enjoyed the songs, thevoice and the melodies

Dec 28 2025

Pleasant to listen, nice vibe and globally a good album but c'est pas ma came la country!

Street Life by The Crusaders
Dec 29 2025

The iconic Street life, the rest of it is some nice soul vibes

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Dec 30 2025

Peaceful Simon's voice and nice ballads melodies ! Felt really connected to it while suffering from allergies during my holidays

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Dec 31 2025

My bloody Valentine..... 2.5

xx by The xx
Jan 27 2026

Good album, good vibes and happy to revisit it in the future. nice to hear other songs than the intro ! 3.5

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 28 2026
Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Jan 29 2026

Nothing bad about this album, its just not my music

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jan 30 2026

One of these albums where you wonder if this list is not a waste of time ! Can't wait to hear the second album !!! Voice 0/5 Music 1/5 Guitar 2/5

Jan 31 2026

Many songs I did not know and I really enjoyed the album even though its quite sad or slow songs.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Feb 01 2026

Fall in the category of nice but easily forgettable. The album is fine but could not find any outstanding song. Future listen might change this

Feb 02 2026

Played it twice and that was enough. The second listen was much more pleasant than the first one though. I quite enjoyed "wear you out" thats it

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Feb 03 2026

The songs are polluted by the piercing voice of an adolescent version Blondie. Plastic bag as the most painful song

Crazysexycool by TLC
Feb 04 2026

Many unknown songs in this but I enjoyed the variety of influences. Red light special

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Feb 05 2026

Somewhere between Nick Cave and Cohen. The first half is very calm while the second feels a bit more alive. Might enjoy this more in 20 years or so !

Bad by Michael Jackson
Feb 06 2026

Not too Bad

Third by Soft Machine
Feb 07 2026

Might find it aceptable with the appropriate number of listen but why bother ! There's enough music which sounds good on first listen ! If it wasn't for the guitar, it would have been a 1

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Feb 09 2026

Not bad first solo album. Doesn't beat the Smiths but it's nice atmosphere. 3.5

Gold by Ryan Adams
Feb 10 2026

This was an album I've enjoyed but its long and I got tired half way through it. Happy to revisit it 3.5

1999 by Prince
Feb 12 2026

A couple of nice songs, the rest of it flows but nothing exciting about it. The album is long and you get tired of it. 2.5

Microshift by Hookworms
Feb 13 2026

I'm puzzled. There's some nice songs but at the same time, this generation of bands all sound the same with the same boring voices ! half of the album is sounds experimental and you jump from a "real song" to something weird and its quite disturbing

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 14 2026

Some nice songs in there like Enola/Alone but its globally the type of music that does not catch my attention

Arrival by ABBA
Feb 15 2026

A bunch of famous ABBA songs. It has never been my thing but I can enjoy it once in a while

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Feb 16 2026

Bossa Nova a.k.a elevator music ! THe albums flows well and her voice too

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Feb 17 2026

Feeling like your brain wants to escape your skull. It feels quite stressful to listen to this album. Some interesting material though. 1.5

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Feb 18 2026

Did not like it on the first listen. Its pretty annoying and empty to me. Could get to the end of the second listen 1.5

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Feb 19 2026

A nice and calm soul album. There's nothing really exciting outside of the first song really but I would revisit it

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Feb 20 2026

The album is ok. He's very productive but I wouldn't say that his albums are masterpieces. A couple of the super famous songs in that one and the rest of it is fine to listen. 2.5

New Wave by The Auteurs
Feb 23 2026

New band for me here with good material and pleasant rock. I'll definitely go back to it. Nothing really outstanding but the album is consistent and flies

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Feb 24 2026

Good, fun and punchy ! Bringing me back to Radio X

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Feb 25 2026

Really enjoyed the psychedelic vibe of Odgens nut gone flake and the other first 4 songs. The second half of the album is a bit boring with the voice a bit annoying me. Was really close to give it a 4. Top songs: Odgen.. Afterglow Long ago... Rollin over 3.5

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Feb 26 2026

Indus Metal, never heard of it. Would not say its a banger but it was nice with several good songs. An album I could play again with no problem. Just one fix scare crow 3.5

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Feb 27 2026

A good album, nice guitar and very characteristic! I'm not a big fan of his voice which is the reason why it got 3.5 Happy to play that again in the future

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Feb 28 2026

Nice voice and ballads, its very relaxing to listen to her but there's nothing exceptional in this album. Happy to revisit it 3.5

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Mar 01 2026

Never heard of orange juice before as I am more of a Tea person ! Good album, nice rock but also nice gentle ballads The second half is globally much better Breakfast Time Tenterhook as top songs

Timeless by Goldie
Mar 02 2026

its ok but its drum and bass. I can enjoy it as background as its not too demanding 2.5

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Mar 04 2026

globally a good album, some songs can be a bit quite annoying but there's some nice guitar, nice pedal effects and melodies. Yeah we know 3.5

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 05 2026

Definitely not the best of Bruce. Its ok, a bit long, missing some real rock and alma !

Mar 06 2026

Interesting. Nice voice, somewhere close to Joni Mitchell. Songs are mostly folk ballads but some are a bit more entertaining, feeling like a late 60's vibe like in Buffalo Springfield. Will revisit this as I might enjoy it more in a couple of years. 3.5

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Mar 07 2026

Strong start for them with this album ! Always happy to have this played, full of hits

Future Days by Can
Mar 08 2026

Interesting is the word here. Might have been disturbing for some people back in 1973. The first song reminded me of Air. Its pleasant, making a nice background music that accompanies you

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 09 2026

CCR, Green River. Classic, love it !

Mar 10 2026

Never heard this album but enjoyed it on the first play, and the second and the third and on the fourth ! Enjoyed the usual late 60's westcoast positive vibe

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 11 2026

Don't like them except for a couple of songs here and there. The voice is annoying, grating and their melodies boring. They sound like annoyed kids not able to decide which genre of music they want to play

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Mar 12 2026

Enjoyed the mix of wawa, singing in mix english and spanish. Felt like Ricky Martin and Mana and also Sergent Garcia. Would definitely revisit it 3.5 Who discovered america?

The Specials by The Specials
Mar 13 2026

Some iconic Ska songs on this but I've never been really into ska. 2.5

Leftism by Leftfield
Mar 15 2026

Weird, disturbing and mesmerising ! The three feelings I got while playing this. Felt like psytrance got it's inspiration from them. Might have been something to hear that for the first time back in the days 3.5

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 16 2026

8 songs. 2 are ok or pleasant. The rest of it is quite annoying, soulless punkrock

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Mar 17 2026

Did not like it at first and it grew a bit on the second listen but still.... Happy to forget this even if there's some interesting bits in it.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 18 2026

Chameleon is very nice and funky the rest of it is pleasant too but did not catch my attention that much Will definitely play this again and it could probably grow to a 4 3.5

1977 by Ash
Mar 19 2026

Not unpleasant but hard to extract anything out of it. I could have this as background music

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Mar 20 2026

Sounds like all the bands of that era, depressed with a voice like if they had been kicked in the nuts. Its fine as background music but that's it. 2.5

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Mar 21 2026

Felt like I knew most of the songs for being covers or because they've been covered (in French for some of them). Quite pleasant and I enjoyed it, even though I don't know when I could feel for playing this album at home. 3.5

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Mar 22 2026

Playing this twice required a decent amount of energy. Happy to forget about this

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 23 2026

Probably my favourite of the three. I've even enjoyed some songs e.g Come in alone

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Mar 24 2026

Not their best album but still good, I wish they would have chosen Fear of the Dark instead. Strange world as my favourite.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Mar 25 2026

Nice album, I've enjoyed playing it and it flows well. punky and good riffs all around. Not something I'll revisit but I don't mind ! Definitely prefer the other Aussies from the same era !

Spiderland by Slint
Mar 26 2026

Nice and pleasant but nothing and outstanding and quite forgettable

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Mar 28 2026

Enjoyed this on the first listen but it lost a bit of its essence while repeating it. I will revisit it. 3.5

Tago Mago by Can
Mar 29 2026

First half is vibrant and deserve a solid 4, while the second half can hardly be qualified as music as it sounds like random noise and screams. It feels like they've recorded that for a movie ! On average it gets a 3

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Mar 30 2026

A live album as a compilation of live shows ! Its like a greatest hits and I don't think it belongs here. Despite being upset with this, I've enjoyed the album, Gary's guitar did not disapoint

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 31 2026

I don't know why this album always pops on my spotify but I was please to have it on this list. It's a good one, that flows very easily with catchy songs

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Apr 01 2026

A solid 4, for a solid album. Except the few first songs, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and was really please with the bluesy vibe

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Apr 02 2026

Relatively enjoyed this album but can't say that I will remember it. Its rock and it does the job.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Apr 03 2026

Not a big fan of them, some nice songs but I get irritated by his voice and find their music a bit boring

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 05 2026

A bit more punchy and grating than the usual Neil Young. Very nice jams in it ! 4.5 Already got the CD !

May 06 2026

Hate to say I told you so, was on air almost everyday on the bus from Vitot to Louviers. The rest of the album was nice and consistent and the songs are nicely following each other. I'll revisit it for sure. 3.5

The White Album by Beatles
May 07 2026

Not a big fan of this album. 1. Its long. 2. it has no structure 3. looks like a compilation with no clear message. A couple of nice songs diluted in the bulk. 2.5

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
May 08 2026

Never heard this before and enjoyed it. I could call it good ambiance music but its a bit more than that. It has something a bit psychedelic and hypnotizing. Nice discovery here.

Kimono My House by Sparks
May 09 2026

This is crap! A mixture of Dexys M. R. and Electric lights Orchestra. Happy to not play or hear about this anymore

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
May 10 2026

Pleasant but a bit boring and too Beatlish sometimes. 3.5

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 11 2026

Hard to understand how they got 5 albums on that list. Definitely not their best album. Some good stuffs but way too diluted.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 12 2026

Nothing here, annoying voice, empty songs Only one album left to go. 1.5

White Light by Gene Clark
May 13 2026

Beautiful album, relaxing vibe. Nice riffs and harmonica. We really feel the Dylan touch even though he wrote only one song. Will be added to the CD collection at some point. 4.5

Queen II by Queen
May 14 2026

Nice guitars and songs but at the same time its a bit boring and quite similar to the vibe I've got with the previous two albums. I'd wish later albums were selected..

White Ladder by David Gray
May 15 2026

Pleasant but sounds too quiet to be memorable. This year's love was a big hit in France.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
May 16 2026

I'm sure I know someone who would love this but its definitely not me. While the first couple of songs could have a had a soul/folk atmosphere that I could enjoy, the rest of it was just low cost Taylor Swift. Not unpleasant to the hears though.

High Violet by The National
May 17 2026

That was boring. I've already forgotten how it sounds and I played it Yesterday!

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
May 18 2026

Interesting album with a lot of different styles and ambiances. I'd globally enjoyed it. 3.5

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
May 19 2026

Interesting! He might have lost a few fan with this one but it's nice to see artists trying to live with their time.

Risque by CHIC
May 20 2026

A good album with a couple of songs I did not know. Its disco and chill at the same time. Pretty Chic !

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
May 21 2026

Sounds like a movie theme. Not unpleasant but quite hard to find a mood for this. The variation theme is a known one

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
May 22 2026

Good background music. The model is well known. The rest of it was fine but forgettable

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
May 23 2026

You would not expect this music in 1982, quite avant garde ! It's nasty and The message outstanding, the rest is a bit funky but also not really interesting. 3.5

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
May 24 2026

rap + rock = shit ! Never heard of it before, happy to never hear about them in the future.

Lost Souls by Doves
May 25 2026

1st listen did not catch my attentions but the second and third definitely did. I've enjoyed the vibe but can hardly put words on it. There's some quiet and chill songs while other are a bit more punchy. Will revisit it in the future

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 26 2026

Not mind blown by the album outside of the two famous Girls looking for funs, again and again !

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
May 28 2026

A bit childish ! The lyrics are quite dumb and so is the message ! The melodies are good but nothing exceptional. My least favourite from him

May 29 2026

That era where a song or two were good and the rest could be easily forgotten. This fits with that era. Golden Skans 2.5

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
May 30 2026

What a family ! Bossa Nova that was nicely received on a Saturday morning breakfast....

May 31 2026

Ok album, some good classics, indian vibes, and the late 60's vibe I usually like is there too. Globally a bit tasteless for me but understandable why it was so much appreciated back in the days

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Jun 01 2026

Once you've passed the first song you're good ! Very experimental and also quite confusing. At the same time there are some very cool stuff in it, feeling the 70's vibe and some psychedelic touch and Hendrix inspiration. Unfortunately, its hard to find a mood where to listen to this album. I will revisit this in the future

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jun 02 2026

Did not know anything outside of Tom's dinner and Luka and they are not on this album. This album is very mellow with a peaceful atmosphere. I really enjoyed it even if I could not name a song in particular. It will grow on me eventually.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jun 03 2026

Tempted to give it a 4 because it plays well and because it represents well that era. I agree with GJS on this album The nicest discovery is Everything will be alright

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Jun 04 2026

That was quite painful. Happy to be done and forget about them. Some songs are fine but its quite abrasive and boring.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Jun 05 2026

First notes and I was seeing myself watching Ali G. The rest of it is funky/hip-hop that get annoying after some time and was happy to be done with. 2.5

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jun 06 2026

There are some interesting songs with a bit of jazz influence but the rest of the album is really unpleasant. the type of rap I hate ! 1.5

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jun 07 2026

Quite a funny one with riffs you expect from a glam rock album and some bangers. The voice is annoying and that's probably what's ruining it. 3.5

Revolver by Beatles
Jun 08 2026

All these albums sounds the same: A couple of good classic songs. Some Indian vibes. And some boring ones. Btw, I prefer SRV version of Taxman! All together, it gets what it disserves.....being average

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jun 09 2026

This is fine but has nothing exceptional in it. Nice 80's vibe but a big half of the album is forgettable This corrosion and Dominion/mother russia

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jun 10 2026

Waste of time

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jun 11 2026

Easy to play album, it's growing on me a bit more every time. Feel a bit of Whitney in her style. Also some funky notes Can't stop from hearing Tupac's "Scandalous" in "been so long" Same ole love as my N1 song

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jun 12 2026

The second listen was muche better than the first one ! Her voice can get quite annoying after a while but its still better than her solo albums (so far).

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Jun 13 2026

Nothing really memorable here except the Season of the Witch. The rest of the album is quite Beatlesy with Sitar, Harpsichord ! Not particularly enjoyable album. The second half of the album is much more enjoyable but still...

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jun 14 2026

Struggled to rate this one. Will give it 3.5

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jun 15 2026

Full of classics but get annoyed by his teenage crisis voice ! Also, many songs are using the similar riff which makes you feel that you're listening the same song over and over

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 16 2026

Enjoyed it but was not amazed either. 3.5

Phrenology by The Roots
Jun 17 2026

Hardly find anything interesting apart from the Seed and maybe Rhymes and ammo. Diversity of genres in this album and most of it is quite unpleasant to the ear.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jun 18 2026

Punk....nothing to annoying here. Just have to find the correct mood for it

Jun 19 2026

Classic ! The riffs are cool and its what you expect from them ! The voice is a bit annoying and its a bit cheesy sometimes as we agreed with GJS ! 3.5

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jun 20 2026

its nice and calm but it was hard to find anything memorable in this album.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 21 2026

This was painful all the way long

Jun 22 2026

Not particularly enjoyed this punk rock album. Its also quite long with too many songs 43 ! 2.5

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jun 23 2026

Album is a bit long with a lot of different styles. I would not say that I don't like it but its not something I will remember. 2.5

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jun 24 2026

An album I know I don't Want Two listen anymore !

Tommy by The Who
Jun 25 2026

There are some good songs on this but they are massively diluted in Tommy's story. The type of albums that's hard to find the mood for... Pinball Wizzard

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Jun 27 2026

Some good old classics here ! Nice hip-hop and some more soul songs towards the end.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Jun 28 2026

I did enjoy this mix of metal, funk and even reggae sometimes. its weird but there are some nice stuff in there. 3.5

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jun 30 2026

I don't know If I would have picked this one among his albums but it's a good one, extensive synth use. An album I've liked even before starting this list

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jul 01 2026

Best Bowie so far for me !! Quite pleasant listen The song Stay is on it

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jul 20 2026

A nice album, pleasant to listen and probably the easiest to listen from them. It flows 3.5

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jul 21 2026

Enjoyed it, not as good as Heaven in las Vegas but the vibe is there

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jul 22 2026

Soon in my CD collection!

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jul 23 2026

Not bad for a country album. I even surprised myself with my feet moving while listening it

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jul 24 2026

Nice album, pleasant to listen and it goes well but forgettable unfortunately

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jul 25 2026

Definitely not the worst of Tom Waits but still...

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Jul 26 2026

Nice album, all songs are flowing well. Might grow into a 4 someday. 3.5

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jul 27 2026

A classic and a good one. I wouldn't get crazy about it though

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Jul 29 2026

Country vibe these days ! Its perfectly fine but I don't know when to listen to that outside of Buffalo Grill !!

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jul 30 2026

There are some nice stuff in there despite that his voice is a bit too depressing and annoying !

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jul 31 2026

Had low expectations here but I was wrong, there are some good stuff here, quite avant garde and you have to select the songs but it's globally pleasant. Might enjoy it more when I'll be a grown ip

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Aug 01 2026

Nice album, beautiful voice. Feels a bit like 60's with some songs very country. Would definitely revisit 3.5

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Aug 02 2026

Pretty much as boring as the other album we've got ! happy to forget the existence of this music

Dog Man Star by Suede
Aug 04 2026

Hard to rate album. Some part are quite boring, almost feeling like U2 and some others are very cool and entertaining. The other album was definitely better 3.5

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Aug 05 2026

Same comment as for previous album. I do have a preference for this one Might get a bit of The War on drugs vibe every now and again Aproaching

Aug 06 2026

Feels like a compilation of music for commercials or movie music. Quite entertaining Some good moments
