Buena Vista Social Club
Buena Vista Social Club
It’s not something I could listen to regularly, but it is good for what it is. It sounds like a lot of Cuban music I’ve heard, but maybe it’s the originator? It sounds like it was a huge influence on a lot of that music at the time coming to prominence. I respect it for what it is.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God
The Pogues
Super interesting, nice to see older Irish folk punk. I’d listen a few times, 4 stars

Be
Common
Really good beats, definitely enjoyed, listening to it, appreciate the messages of the song. And the throwback to Chappelle show, definitely want to save it on Spotify and listen again.

Apr 03 2025
Talking Book
Stevie Wonder
The hits are great, you and I is a pretty solid ballad, some of the other songs get a little bit too repetitive for me. I’ll come back to the major songs often on, probably not the album is a hole. Maybe it’s because it’s an older album, Does not quite grab me as much as the others. But still worth a listen.

Axis: Bold As Love
Jimi Hendrix
Amazing album, good extermination and mix of rock, blues, jazz and other influences. Added to the mix.

Apr 05 2025
Unknown Pleasures
Joy Division
It was alright, maybe I wasn’t a product of the time. His voice is a bit too monotonous for me, not very inspired riffs, I like a bit more colour to the tracks. 2/5 a few tracks were decent,

Straight Outta Compton
N.W.A.
Really solid album, I could definitely appreciate this one for the time and place. What I understand it’s very influential, first if it’s kind of the time, the beats in the grooves are really catchy. Strong political message, pretty easy to digest, a few small dips. I would say a 4.75 out of five, but I’ll round up.

Apr 07 2025
Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette
Really solid album, didn’t realize it woudl be so rock based. I knew you aughta know and a few other hits but thoroughly enjoyed the whole album overall, I’d give it a listen a few more times.

Grace
Jeff Buckley
Solid album, a lot more diverse than I assumed based off only hearing hallelujah. Loved it. Too bad the guy only had the one album.

Apr 09 2025
Power In Numbers
Jurassic 5
Solid band, definitely like a lot of the beats. Ran a bit too long for my taste, but I can see the appeal, I’m thinking 4 to 5. I like stuff with a little bit more melody to it if that’s the right word? But this one’s pretty solid. Listening to it one more time in the car made it grow on me a bit, I’ll leave it at four stars because it’s a bit too long for me.

Apr 10 2025
My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
Brian Eno
This one is pretty solid. I like it for what it is, I understand the experimental part of it, maybe it’s because I’m not around when it came out? I think it would’ve had more of an impact back in 1981 if I heard it then. Good beats, I appreciate the incorporation of world music, I think this is a one and done for me, though. Two out of five.

Apr 11 2025
Stankonia
OutKast
I’ve listened to this before, I already knew that it would be a banger. Always love listening to it again, it’s just so catchy. A little bit long, it’s still worth it

Apr 12 2025
Doolittle
Pixies
I can see it being a predecessor to a lot of grunge, and it seems to be one of the first dynamics albums. It didn’t grip me, the pixies never really have. But I like a few songs!

Fulfillingness' First Finale
Stevie Wonder
This album is awesome, I like it a lot better than the other earlier Stevie Wonder album. I listen to. Feels a little bit more cohesive, more of a groove, less monotonous and repetitive. I’m thinking five out of five.
5
Apr 14 2025
Disintegration
The Cure
I need to go back and finish it, didn’t quite get the full-time, but I like the vibe for what it is. A lot of good songs, I’ll give it a relist at some point, not sure if I’ll go back to it all the time though. I think a solid three out of five.

Apr 15 2025
Ellington at Newport
Duke Ellington
Fantastic album, absolutely love jazz if I don’t listen to it all the time. Duke Ellington is really really good, his group is so tight. It’s a bit long at two hours and 11 minutes, with a lot of those filler talking in between, but I think it was important for me to listen to this.

Apr 16 2025
The Beach Boys Today!
The Beach Boys
The album was good for what it was, it didn’t really stand out to me? I like the beach boys vibe, it might make more sense in the context of the music at the time. A lot of the songs are very similar, felt like classic beach/surf music, Pop during the 60s. Three out of five, I don’t think I’ll necessarily go back to it.

Apr 17 2025
Chore of Enchantment
Giant Sand
Honestly, not a fan, not sure why this one was on the list. Given Its the list of 1000 albums you should listen to before you die, I’m gonna give it a one out of five. Not for me.
1
Apr 18 2025
Apple Venus Volume 1
XTC
I thought it was interesting, very Beatles and Beach boy reminiscent. A lot of Baroque pop, strange that it came out in 1999. Not sure if it was anything that stood out for me, but I thought it was pretty decent. Two out of five seems fair for this list
2
Apr 19 2025
Purple Rain
Prince
Super solid album, really loved most of it. Glad I finally listened to this song, from the last few I listened to werent my favorites. The hits were pretty amazing on this one, and it’s got a really good flow, might have to give it one more listen often on. Solid 4 to 5 on this one.
4
Apr 20 2025
Gris Gris
Dr. John
Super weird album, I like it’s for what it was though. Glad I listened to it once, it’s interesting to hear the voodoo psychedelic style, I think three out of five is good.

Live At The Harlem Square Club
Sam Cooke
Love this kind of music, so upbeat and happy sounding. When I get these I love them, I need to find the modern equivalent.

Apr 22 2025
Debut
Björk
Really weird album, I can see where this influenced the singers like Sia, some of them with crazy vocal ranges and artistic styles. Solid four out of five, if I heard it come on I wouldn’t be upset.

Apr 23 2025
Moss Side Story
Barry Adamson
It’s a good soundtrack for what it is, honestly not my style. I appreciate the work and everything that went into it, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to it again? Not sure what makes it different than any other soundtrack. Two out of five.

Apr 24 2025
Rubber Soul
Beatles
Amazing album, I’ve listened to it multiple times, five out of five.

Apr 25 2025
All Mod Cons
The Jam
I enjoyed this one quite a bit, I could put the album on and listen to it in full. Sounds like a nice intermediate between the Beatles and the police, I’m surprised I never heard of them before. Four at five.

Apr 26 2025
The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden
Another banger, I’ve listened before, really appreciate the length and quality. I think around 40 min is best for an LP. 5 out of 5

Michael Jackson
Amazing album, this is why he’s the r king of pop. 5 out of 5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!
Frank Sinatra
Love some good Sinatra, his music is almost always amazing to me. I don’t know if this is the definitive album that I would use as an example, but it is very good. I’ll say four out of five for this one.
4
Apr 30 2025
Sister
Sonic Youth
Really good album, I’m surprised I never heard much more of their stuff before. It’s got me interested in looking more into Sonic Youth, I’ll give it a five out of five.

May 01 2025
People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
A Tribe Called Quest
It was good for what it was, maybe it’s because I listened to the remix version, but it was a bit long for me to keep up with? But I enjoyed it, and appreciate the artistry of it. Solid 4 to 5.
4
May 02 2025
Screamadelica
Primal Scream
Honestly, could barely get through the whole album, I like a few of the songs that had the Rolling Stones feel to it, little mix of psychedelic and rock to it, but a lot of the songs were just not great for me, I’ll give it a two out of five, Not bad enough to be a one, but not good enough for a full too. I don’t think I could recommend it to people.
2
May 03 2025
Bryter Layter
Nick Drake
The guitar work is pretty fantastic, same with the rest of the instrumentation. I can appreciate the vocal work for what he did, the bedroom pop style or whatever they call this type of music? Another album that wasn’t necessarily my vibe, but I thought it was pretty cool for what it was, a lot of interesting themes in style mixed into it. I can see where this would influence a lot of Indie musicians going forward, it’s a shame. The guy died so young as well. I think it’s worth three out of five stars.
3
May 04 2025
Forever Changes
Love
This one was pretty good, I can appreciate it for being influential at the time I would assume. It sounds like a lot of what I’ve heard, but maybe that’s because people created their own version of it? Nothing really stands out to me explicitly about any of these tracks, but as a whole, it was an entertaining lesson. I’d give it a three out of five, appreciating it for what it is.

Songs From The Big Chair
Tears For Fears
Def a top album for me, the huge songs are huge. Had this one on vinyl and had to hook it up and listen all the way through, I’d argue one of the best of the 80s. Embodies the synths and style of the 80s without the schlock and irony. Easy 5 star. Love the guitars, drums, good bass lines, and the singers voice is pretty remarkable. Going to Listen again soon for sure
5
May 06 2025
Superunknown
Soundgarden
I think I’ve given out too many 5 stars in the past, but this one is definitely up deserving. Never listened to the whole thing through front to back, but it felt like a greatest hits album. The songs I didn’t know still hit hard, even at over an hour the journey didn’t feel like a slog. The only problem now is trying to find a copy on vinyl. Great riffs, Chris’s voice is amazing, the Robert plant of grunge for sure. Would recommend to anyone.
5
May 07 2025
Timeless
Goldie
I didn’t finish the whole two hours but it was enjoyable! I liked the beats, I could see looking more into the discography if I want to get more into drum and bass. The vocals were solid too, I swear I’ve heard this stuff before. It’s not on my regular listening, but if it was it could be five stars.
3
May 08 2025
Ingenue
k.d. lang
Very solid album, I would definitely recommend this. It does have a Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett feel, mixed with a little bit of country, a little bit of jazz, very chill dinner music if that makes sense. I thought it was fantastic, I hope to find a more modern version of this type of music as well, if there’s anyone putting out the stuff today. Five stars.
5
May 09 2025
Dare!
The Human League
Honestly the album has been pretty unlistenable, the beats and voice are so cliche 80s for me it’s not my vibe. I like “dont you want me” but outside of that I really don’t want to listen again. I’ll do a 1 out of 5, with the exception of the one song.

May 10 2025
What's Going On
Marvin Gaye
This album is genuinely a classic, I’m so glad that I listened to it. It’s all the way through. It’s one of those that I can appreciate the influence hat on modern music, while being so smooth, the court progressions are great. Marvin‘s voice is amazing, And the messaging behind each one of the songs is premier. One of the best of all time. Five out of five.
5
May 11 2025
Oracular Spectacular
MGMT
The hits were great, classic songs. I didn’t realize it came out when they did. Overall, as a cohesive album, it was pretty solid, not sure why the whole album is on the list, though, for a debut though it’s fantastic.
3
May 12 2025
Bone Machine
Tom Waits
Very weird album, I think I liked it as a whole. No major tracks stood out to me, but I like the vibe, I think it’s an overall album. It was very solid. It made sense when I looked up later that Primus played a few tracks. I’ll give it a four out of five, but it’s weird because I can’t recommend it to anyone in particular.
4
May 13 2025
The Marshall Mathers LP
Eminem
Really strong album, the beats and hits are the first thing that stand out. Some of the guitars and bass on applicable songs are actually stand outs, it’s really solid. I’d give it a 5 since it stands out in such a way, really shows that Eminem is one of the best rappers out there
4
May 14 2025
In Utero
Nirvana
Nother classic. Weirder than Nevermind, but I appreciate them trying to get back to weirder roots, a bit more raw on both ends. Solid acoustic tracks then heavy in between. The length of the album is perfect too, amazing
5
May 15 2025
Stripped
Christina Aguilera
It’s definitely a lot to listen to, and I think it is good for what it is. There are a couple pretty good songs on there, the vibe is pretty good overall, a lot of interesting variety when it comes to the styles of music. Her voice is very whimsical, and I didn’t realize how well Christina could sing, Definitely a solid album overall. I’ll give it a three out of five because it’s not my vibe, but I think it is very well made overall and I can see the influence on a lot of younger female artists, especially.
3
May 16 2025
Floodland
Sisters Of Mercy
It was all right, sounded like a lot of the stuff that came in that place in time. I’m not a huge fan of Gothic rock genre personally, but it sounds like a mix of joy division and new wave like human league. Two out of five.
2
May 17 2025
Heroes
David Bowie
I was definitely surprised of this one, not as exciting as I hoped, honestly a bit of a letdown. The title track was good, some of the vocal and other tracks like Joe the line of beauty and the beast were pretty decent. The last track was pretty good too, but a lot of it sounds like ambient filler, not what I was hoping for expecting. I’d say two out of five.
2
May 18 2025
Made In Japan
Deep Purple
Really solid live album, love the mix of jazz and blues influences on their music. Solid drum solos, keyboards, didn’t know the singer could hit the falsetto like that so much. It’s not gonna be in the normal rotation but I’d give it another listen if it came on l
4
May 19 2025
Jack Takes the Floor
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
It’s not my type of country music, maybe it’s a bit too old for me or something? The San Francisco song was pretty solid, outside of it. I don’t see myself looking back into it in the future. Find guitar work, pretty good lyrics, classic old western feel.
2
May 20 2025
Garbage
Garbage
A really cool album I’m surprised I haven’t heard before based off listening to so much grunge and alt rock from the 90s. Really solid album that’s catchy, great drums and vocals.
4
May 21 2025
We Are Family
Sister Sledge
A really solid disco album I e never heard, and felt the biggest radio hit wasn’t the best song on the album. I actively went through and “liked” every song on here but one or two, and those were still solid tracks. The guitar works and vocals were great, good beats, another amazing Niles Rodger’s project
5
May 22 2025
Black Holes and Revelations
Muse
Amazing album, I honestly feel dumb for not listening to it all the way through before. Of course I’ve heard nights of Cydonia from guitar hero, even assassin was on one of them before, but never did a deep dice to hear the rest of the album. I’m actually excited to start listening to the rest of their stuff, even if the albums fell off in quality after this one. But this one was a real treat, five stars.
5
May 23 2025
Elephant
The White Stripes
Really, really solid album, love the vast majority of the songs. Forgot how good the white stripes on, but it’s barely short of 5 stars for me. I’m not sure what it’s missing, but it’s right below, the guitar and drums are great.
4
May 24 2025
The Joshua Tree
U2
The album opens with bangers, it’s an amazing start. 3 huge hits, love the way it goes. The rest of the album is still solid, I’d put it in for background music, but it’s not 100% for me. 3 stars on a personal level, but I could see where true fans would love it more
3
May 25 2025
Walking Wounded
Everything But The Girl
Loved it, I’m finding more interest in electronic music as this challenge goes on. Love the low key vocals, drum beats and all, lot of the songs are really catchy. I want to add this to my regular listening.
5
May 26 2025
Call of the Valley
Shivkumar Sharma
It is enjoyable thought it is, a vibe for music if that’s what you’re looking for. Definitely not something I put on all the time, but if I heard it in your background somewhere, I wouldn’t be upset. I’m sure it’s very influential to music that came out though
2
May 27 2025
Revolver
Beatles
Another five star album, absolutely beautiful. A lot of experimentation coming out from a band like this, it was really nice to get to go back and listen to it again. I didn’t care for it for the longest time, but really is beautiful, the transitions, the guitar work on some of the heavier songs, the theme in the Indian influence. I even appreciate the transition from some existential songs to yellow submarine, back to existentialism. Now again, it’s up there with one of my all-time favorites, it wasn’t super high with me before.
5
May 28 2025
Frank
Amy Winehouse
This is what I was looking for in this style, modern Sinatra style music mixes with soul and R&B. Back to Black is too polished for my taste, but this album really has the vibes of what I hoped Amy could do. The instruments, her voice, everything, it’s so easy to listen front to back.
5
May 29 2025
Grievous Angel
Gram Parsons
Really solid country album, this is the stuff I’m looking for. What really has a good country feel, raw emotion that isn’t just pop songs liek what is on the radio now. The guitars, duets, and feel seems more genuine on this than a lot of other music I’ve heard.
4
May 30 2025
A Grand Don't Come For Free
The Streets
Honestly hated it, I tried flipping through some of the songs to try and see if there’s something redeemable about any of the track, I didn’t find anything. I found the voice to be annoying, didn’t care for the story too much, overall unlistenable for me.
1
May 31 2025
Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols
Sex Pistols
Classic iconic punk album, first time listening all the way through and I get why it’s so famous. The right mix of melody, attitude, and catchy choruses.
4
Jun 01 2025
Achtung Baby
U2
Really enjoying it so far, moreso than Joshua tree! It feels more flushed out, the drums are a bit better, it feels the band came more into themselves at this point. I like. A lot of what I’ve heard, if it came on I wouldn’t be mad.
4
Jun 02 2025
Foxbase Alpha
Saint Etienne
Honestly, wasn’t a huge fan of this album, there was one or two tracks I could stand, but I found myself skipping getting a few minutes into some of the tracks. The very last song I enjoyed and looked back at my phone to see what it was, only to see it was half of a different album. I think it’s maybe a little bit too much of a first album, trying to find their sound, and they sound like a band who really came into their own a few years later. Unfortunately, giving this one a one, I don’t think I wanna hear it again.
1
Jun 03 2025
I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You
Aretha Franklin
I think it’s still a really good album, I definitely enjoy the music, but it’s not something I go to all the time. If I hear it coming on or it’s in the background, I definitely appreciate it, Aretha‘s voice is timeless. Respect is an amazing song, I like the rest of the album, I could see her influence in so many current artists today.
3
Jun 04 2025
Leftism
Leftfield
Honestly, not sure why this album was on this list. I thought it was fine, and enjoyable enough listen in the background, but definitely not anything. I’m coming back to anytime soon. I’m guessing maybe it was revolutionary back when it came out, influenced people? But there’s nothing that stood out for this album that made me want to go back and give it another shot, I’d say one out of five.
1
Jun 05 2025
Morrison Hotel
The Doors
Solid four star album, right on the cusp of five. I really love a lot of the songs, but it’s not quite as cohesive as some of the other doors albums I think. Love the vibe, Jim Morrison’s voice, all the instrumentation is fantastic. If I didn’t have 900 more albums to go through, I’m sure this will be right at the top.
4
Jun 06 2025
Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo
Devo
Really weird album but fun! I like a few of the songs on here a bit, others don’t quite hit but it’s something nice for the background. 3 out of 5 sounds fair, it’s got a talking heads feel I think I like.

Jun 07 2025
Led Zeppelin II
Led Zeppelin
Amazing album, all the way through. Dipped down with the very last song a little bit but not enough to stop this from being a solid 5 stars

James Brown Live At The Apollo
James Brown
It was fine. Didn’t know James Brown did more Motown before his big hits, this was showed me more of his Influence, esp seeing how early on he was Doing music. Won’t listen again but didn’t regret it.
2
Jun 09 2025
Space Ritual
Hawkwind
I listen to the majority of it, but a full live double album is definitely a lot. It’s fun 70s rock, I definitely appreciate it before, surprised. I’ve never heard of this band before now. It’s a good time if you’re in the mood for some cheesy 70s rock, I think a three out of five is better.
3
Jun 10 2025
Electric Ladyland
Jimi Hendrix
Definitely enjoy the album, Jimi Hendrix is always a classic. Really amazing tracks, really solid guitar solos, but not quite as solid of an effort as the first two albums. I think it’s a little bit too long, maybe it should’ve been separated into extra tracks? It does feel like there’s a lot of “besides”, but that’s not a bad thing for someone like Hendrix. Four out of five stars is what I would go with, since I’ve given out too many five stars recently.

Jun 11 2025
Hail To the Thief
Radiohead
I want to give them another listen in the future to hear the words more, but the music is pretty decent itself. Still trying to get into them

Jun 12 2025
Diamond Life
Sade
It’s a pretty solid album! I could see if the vast majority of the songs came on, I would appreciate hearing them on this one. It’s not 100% my style, but I love learning about more artists like this that I would never really listen to before. I think four out of five is good, a few tracks really stood out to me, but the music is a really good beat.
4
Jun 13 2025
Pet Sounds
The Beach Boys
This album was very nice, I enjoyed it for the most part. It was cool to finally listen to it and hear a refreshing take on the beach boys, that was different than their early 60s and 50s surf sound they had going for so long. The hits are amazing, the rest of the album is good but a little bit too experimental for me personally. I think three out of five is good, not something I would go out out of my way for again, but I liked it for what it was.
3
Jun 14 2025
Machine Head
Deep Purple
A really solid heavy album, loved the whole thing. Never knew it had so many old hits on it from the band, it’s nice to hear some of the originators of metal from the day that had so much influence on younger bands coming up, I can hear a lot of bands in this album.
4
Jun 15 2025
The Bends
Radiohead
I think I’m starting to get Radiohead now? Maybe I’m just a fan of This style of Radiohead, more of the mid 90s britpop leanings. It feels like the right blend of melody, dynamics, acoustics and heavy distortion, I was enjoying the vast majority of songs as they appeared. I’m excited to give it more listens, I think it’ll move up to five stars soon.

It's A Shame About Ray
The Lemonheads
A fine album, ok for the time. Not sure why it’s in the list, doesn’t sound like anything particularly special. Not awful
2
Jun 17 2025
Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Well they can’t all be winners. A double album of this nature is a lot of music, I think I just don’t Vibe with gothic rock if that’s what this is. A lot of the music in this style is not for me. 1 of 5.

Jun 18 2025
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John
I’m conflicted for this one, I really want to give 5 stars as it is brilliant, almost every song is awesome. It feels like a natural follow up to the Rock and roll of the Chuck berry generation, amazing ballads, great vocals and lyrics, but there’s just a few songs that don’t do it for me. They feel like filler. I think I’m inclined to give it 5 as it’s almost there, but this album is great.

Jun 19 2025
Junkyard
The Birthday Party
Wow this was rough. Not sure the hype around it, I don’t think I vibe with any post punk. It’s too weird and not melodic enough, can’t enjoy the lyrics or vocals, don’t ever plan on listening again
1
Jun 20 2025
Cut
The Slits
This one was fine, nothing special for me. Interesting vibe and sound, different and sounds like it was pretty influential to a lot of alternative and punk bands after. Not my cup of tea but get why it’s here, I’d say 2 stars
2
Jun 21 2025
Madman Across The Water
Elton John
The album is pretty good, didn’t realize Elton went prog for any of his albums. This one had those elements and i can vibe with the whole thing, but the only Standout tracks personally were Tiny Dance, Levon, and goodbye. Enjoyable but not his best, but I’d listen if it was on. 3 stars seems fair
3
Jun 22 2025
Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
Frank Sinatra
Absolutely love this one, really love the bossa nova feel with the guitars and everything. Frank Sinatra is an all-time classic, his voice is just sounding. I would recommend anyone, it’s so close to being five star with the quality, but I could sit and listen to any of these all day.
4
Jun 23 2025
Cloud Nine
The Temptations
Really solid album, always loved this genre of music. Anyways excited to hear more of this kind of music, heard a few hits that were fun. Love if this came on at some point on.

Jun 24 2025
Hounds Of Love
Kate Bush
It was a pretty good album overall, loved the hits. But the rest isn’t something I woudl listen to again, the vibe was a bit to weird for me. But it sounds like Bush is a pretty artsy creator, just maybe not totally for me. 2.5 feels right
2
Jun 25 2025
Djam Leelii
Baaba Maal
Really not my vibe, I do like a lot of the guitar work, but I can’t see myself listening to this anytime again. Just a little bit too much for me to deal with, one star.

Jun 26 2025
Odelay
Beck
I like it a bit, the whole album is a solid vibe. Could put this on and enjoy it if wanted, overall a solid pick. No major tracks stood out but I added a few to my playlist

Love this one, really great album even with the extra B sides all the way through. I love hearing some of these that are the evolution of the classic Rockin roll, some folk, a lot of different styles done well. One of my fav discoveries on this list so far, 5 star.

Solid Air
John Martyn
A pretty solid album, definitely enjoyed some of the more acoustic tracks and appreciated the experimentation on the other ones. I’m pretty curious to check on more of this kind of stuff, there’s something different about the singer songwriter in the 1970s to me with their acoustic guitars and everything. I think solid three out of five is sufficient.

OK
Talvin Singh
I tried, I really do appreciate a lot of the good beats, but I really don’t see myself coming back to this. It’s interesting to hear in the mix of all the different world sounds, the Indian influence, and I can’t appreciate this type of music in the right context, but not really what I was looking for in this list. I’ll give it a two out of five because it is interesting, I can see where it would fit in if it’s the first of its kind, just not for me.

Jul 01 2025
The Yes Album
Yes
I love this album, only knew of Roundabout and Owner of a lonely heart and I generally enjoy classic Prog. These guys feels like a solid precursor to Rush, dream theater and a lot of other prog in this same vein. It’s pretty cool to see the evolution over decades and where some it came from. Enough pop and melody to stay interesting without sacrificing the experimentation.

Raising Hell
Run-D.M.C.
This one is pretty fun, I like it for what it is! Nothing I’ll put in a regular rotation but it’s a cool vibe. 3 of five is good for me, I can see where it’s influential to a lot of the newer music. Loved the hits.

McCartney
Paul McCartney
Maybe I’m amazed is one of my favorite songs ever, and there’s a few tracks here and there that are decent, but I don’t think this is an album I would revisit. The vibe is alright, maybe it’s because it’s older lofi, but jt does feel like a demo tape more than anything. Like maybe it wasn’t even meant to be released? I don’t think I quite get what it’s going for, but it’s not unlistenable. I’d say 2, I’m glad I heard it.

Born In The U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen
At first, I felt like I didn’t really understand a lot of the hype around Bruce, but I finally listened to this album all the way through. It really is a masterpiece, definitely one of my top surprises from this project. Every song is enjoyable, I feel like I could just sit and listen all the way through. There’s no way it’s coincidence that it came on my list around the Fourth of July either. Five stars easily.
5
Jul 05 2025
Surrealistic Pillow
Jefferson Airplane
Pretty solid album overall, I love the vibe. I feel like I could put it on and listen to it all the way, of course the singles are amazing. I think this is probably a three out of five pretty close to a four. There’s a lot of albums to go through.
3
Jul 06 2025
Tidal
Fiona Apple
Really solid album, I’ve been looking for more pop music I this vein tbh. Kinda feels like Amy wine house, Billie Eilish in a way. Just vibing music I can sit and listen to for a day, and hearing her albums get better from there is a nice sound. I think this is a low 5, I love it and could put it on just to vibe to. The music, her voice is phenomenal.
5
Jul 07 2025
Tuesday Night Music Club
Sheryl Crow
I liked the last two songs on the album, the rest of it was very generic pop country to me. Little bit of rock influence, but even with seeing the influence she had, it didn’t feel like anything special to me. Honestly hard to give this more than a two, leaning towards a one, just not for me.

Jul 08 2025
Coat Of Many Colors
Dolly Parton
Beautiful album, the lyrics and everything were so nice. Great voice, I love the balance of all the instruments as well. Would recommend, and I’m looking more into her discography now as well.

Jul 09 2025
Beautiful Freak
Eels
It’s a fine Album, I liked a few songs, recognized the one from shrek. But the rest were kind of meh, didn’t regret listening. The vibe was alright, I’m between a 2 and a 3 for this
2
Jul 10 2025
This Year's Model
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4 stars, I like the vibe overall. I woudl enjoy if it’s on, and a few songs stood out to me as classics. I can see where it influenced the generations after, the melodies and all are great. Some good guitar and bass work

Jul 11 2025
Warehouse: Songs And Stories
Hüsker Dü
Pretty solid album overall, a bit long for my taste. I know it was released as a double album, but I did find myself getting somewhat tired of the material towards the end. I could see this being a predecessor to some of the 90s punk bands, especially early Green Day, which I appreciated. I want to do a further deep dive into this band when I get more time, Hear more of where their sound comes from. But I think this album is a three out of five, the tracks, I think would be more enjoyable on their own rather than for an hour back to back.

Jul 12 2025
Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
An amazing album, it took a little while to grow on me, but it says it is one of my favorites. A really good way to end the week, I feel like all of the songs are a nice mix of upbeat, enjoyable, I love the jazzy overtones. I feel like Steely Dan has a really good way of blending genres together in a way that doesn’t feel schlocky. Five out of five stars.
5
Jul 13 2025
Eliminator
ZZ Top
So many good hits. This album is a vibe overall though, I’ve heard it before and still love it. A lot more bass than I remember, it’s a groove. Enough silliness to be fun. Solid 4, not in the regular rotation but these guys are still amazing.
4
Jul 14 2025
Red Dirt Girl
Emmylou Harris
I enjoy the album overall, I’m not sure why it’s on the list personally? Like it’s good, but maybe I don’t get the need to put it on. Almost like this. But her voice is great, I love the signer songwriter perspective.
3
Jul 15 2025
It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Public Enemy
Honestly, really solid album all the way through. Really love the energy, the hype, everything that went into this, turns out I actually really love this genre. It was a bit long for me, but I definitely think it was worth listening all the way through.
5
Jul 16 2025
New Forms
Roni Size
This one is fine, I found myself skipping tracks because of the repetitiveness, but I think that’s part of the music. Maybe it’s better in a club setting or whatever, but I couldn’t sit and just listen. It’s not terrible, but not really my vibe, I think 2 of 5 is ok.
2
Jul 17 2025
Autobahn
Kraftwerk
That’s a 1 for me, it was ok to listen to, but I really don’t ever want to come back to it. Just not my vibe

Little Earthquakes
Tori Amos
It was a decent listen, just really not my style.

Jul 19 2025
Bossanova
Pixies
Really solid album, I’m almost upset I never looked into this one! I didn’t get to finish it but I think this is actually a 5 star. I really love the. 90s alt rock feel.
5
Jul 20 2025
So
Peter Gabriel
I feel like I’m giving out too many five stars on this thing, might have to go back and adjust a few, but I think this one definitely deserves it. I had no idea how awesome this album would be, I knew the song sledgehammer, but almost every song it is a banger. With the great classics of the 80s, Definitely love the music ship and everything involved.
5
Jul 21 2025
Elephant Mountain
The Youngbloods
This is a very interesting album, I’d love to revisit it again when I have time. I’ve never heard of these guys before, but I love the 70 psychedelia mixed with country and a few other styles. I wonder why they never really seem to get big?
3
Jul 22 2025
The World is a Ghetto
War
Really cool vibe, only knew these guys from their two famous songs which got annoying from overplay. Love the musicality, jazz feel, the whole thing flows really well
4
Jul 23 2025
Searching For The Young Soul Rebels
Dexys Midnight Runners
Not my favorite, I’ll give it 2 stars. Maybe it was more of a product of its time but nothing stood out to me. Maybe it gets better as time goes on since this is their debut album but I’ll pass.

Jul 24 2025
Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath
Amazing album, I listened to this yesterday just as I heard Ozzie passed, it’s such a shame. Amazing art, it’s wild to think they knew how to be this heavy back in 1970. Inventing the genre, being a bunch of practically 18-year-olds coming up with music like this is amazing. I’m excited to listen to the entire stretch of their catalog, This is an easy, five stars.
5
Jul 25 2025
Urban Hymns
The Verve
I liek the first track, the rest I was waiting for the album to end. Its fine, just not my vibe, the Britpop or whatever you call this genre isn’t my bag, so 2 stars for me
2
Jul 26 2025
Horses
Patti Smith
I fast forwarded through pretty much every track on this album, that’s gonna be a no for me. One star

Jul 27 2025
Peter Gabriel 3
Peter Gabriel
This one was pretty good, I liked it for being enough for being artsy and prog. 3 is fair, wouldn’t put it on too much but wouldn’t mind if I heard it.

Jul 28 2025
The Wall
Pink Floyd
I like this one for the most part, but I can see where people call it pretentious. A lot of the album seems to have an excessive amount of contents, even with the story the way it is. I feel like there was a bit of filler that could’ve been trimmed down a bit. The highs are very high, with the amazing singles in comfortably numb and another brick in the wall, and hey you, But everything that’s in between honestly felt like it was getting to be a slog. But worth it overall, I would give it to four out of five.

Jul 29 2025
Surfer Rosa
Pixies
It was good, enjoyable enough. Found a few songs I like, love the dynamics of this era of music. 3 is good for me
3
Jul 30 2025
Loveless
My Bloody Valentine
Pretty wild, but this is one of my five star pics. Didn’t expect to love the album so much, if you “low points“, but I very thoroughly enjoyed the vibe of it. I feel like it’s easy because you just listen to the music All the way through and appreciate it, than the albums done. Not a lot of music to do that.
5
Jul 31 2025
Van Halen
Van Halen
I didn’t ever think I would be saying this, but this album is amazing front to back. I like Van Halen but hearing this album came out, every single track is amazing. almost half classic singles and the non singles are amazing too. Sad I’ve slept on this album for so long
5
Aug 01 2025
The Bones Of What You Believe
CHVRCHES
Another 5/5, I’ve heard this one before and was actively seeking it out similar music after hearing this. The whole album is amazing
5
Aug 02 2025
Paul Simon
Paul Simon
This album was enjoyable enough, I liek the mix of jazz, acoustic, folk and all the other styles. There wasn’t anything that stood too me and I don’t think I’d come back to it but glad I heard it once. 3 is fair.
3
Aug 03 2025
Halcyon Digest
Deerhunter
This one is fine, I’m not sure if I’ll add it to my favorites or anything, but it was interesting hearing a recent album like this. I’d say three out of five, I didn’t dislike it, but I didn’t absolutely love it or anything.
3
Aug 04 2025
Hysteria
Def Leppard
I like what this album is going for, I do enjoy all most of Def Leppard‘s music. However, it is a little bit too much Def Leppard for me. They’re good in small chunks, I really enjoyed the first half of the album, but it got to be a bit too much at the end. I don’t think it reached the height of thriller or anything like that,but it was an ambitious solid effort. But it was an ambitious solid effort. Four out of five.
4
Aug 05 2025
Fragile
Yes
It came off as a bit pretentious, kind of like The Wall for me. A bit better and less filler, but I enjoy that this album has a bit more groove. Roundabout is classic as always, the latter half of the album is pretty great too. Love the bass and drum work. 4 of 5 is fair
4
Aug 06 2025
The Last Of The True Believers
Nanci Griffith
Four stars. A good album that doesn’t overstay its welcome, a lot of quality musicianship, classic country feel. Could almost be up there with the greats like Dolly.

Palo Congo

I liked some of the guitar riffs, but not 100% my vibe. Not something I’m going to revisit
2
Aug 08 2025
Bummed
Happy Mondays
Pretty solid album, I like a good amount of it. A genre I wasn’t aware of, the latter half of the album is pretty good. I think 3 is good, 3.5 if possible.

Aug 09 2025
More Songs About Buildings And Food
Talking Heads
I think I like this album? The vibe overall is good even if the songs didn’t all vibe with me. But overall good.

A really sad album, you can really heard him dealing with grief. I don’t care for anything else nick cave, but this was a good experience once.

David Ackles
It’s just fine. Not sure why it’s in the list

Stardust
Willie Nelson
Really amazing album, I always forget how many good tracks Willie Nelson Nelson has. A beautiful voice, I forget that he sings a lot of the classic standards, every song is fantastic. Five out of five.
5
Aug 13 2025
Make Yourself
Incubus
Heard this album quite a few times before, it’s so good. A nice mix of the hits and solid tracks, a good amount of experimentation, weirdness while accessible. A heavy hitter for sure.
5
Aug 14 2025
Let It Be
The Replacements
Don’t see the appeal. Tbh I don’t think post punk is my genre, every band in the genre I’ve tried is just ok. 2 of 5, it’s not bad
2
Aug 15 2025
The Who Sell Out
The Who
A fine album. I love the Who’s later stuff, Quadrophenoa and Who’s next and all, but their earlier work doesn’t stick as much. Maybe It hit better if you were there. 3 of 5
3
Aug 16 2025
Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul
Otis Redding
A solid soul cover album, I would t be upset if any of this came on. Really solid covers, surprised by The Rolling Stones cover too. 4 of 5, his voice is amazing.

Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes
Really cool album, I’m surprised I never heard of these guys back when Mumford & Sons and that type of music was big. I really like the genre, I’m excited to listen to the music outside of this album too.
4
Aug 20 2025
Machine Gun Etiquette
The Damned
Honestly, one of my favorite fines so far. A new old punk band that I never really give a chance, listening all the way through this album. This is the type of punk music I’m looking for. I already listened to their debut album as well, I love the vocals, catchy melodies, the drumming is fantastic. Five stars.
5
Aug 21 2025
A Rush Of Blood To The Head
Coldplay
Just listen to this one the other day, literally yesterday. It was pretty decent, there’s a few tracks I liked, but they debut album is significantly better. I think three out of five is fair, I love the scientist and clocks.
4
Aug 22 2025
Rhythm Nation 1814
Janet Jackson
The first fee tracks are really solid, and I liek the overall vibe. It does overstay a bit for me, the tracks kinda blended together at the end. I’d listen to this more if it was on tho, I’ll say 3 almost 4 stars.
3
Aug 23 2025
Melodrama
Lorde
A really solid modern pop album. I definitely liked it a lot, green lights, and a few tracks really stood out to me as classic hits. I almost kick myself for not looking into Lord as much when I was listening to music at the time, but now is a good time to catch up. I think four stars is good.

Aug 24 2025
Movies
Holger Czukay
I really tried to get into this, give it my all and everything. I like the funky grooves of the first track, but halfway into the rest of the tracks, I was waiting for it to be over.

Aug 25 2025
There's A Riot Goin' On
Sly & The Family Stone
It’s pretty good. I’m sure if I had more context of the music I’d have more of an appreciation. 3 of 5 since I know it had to influence a lot of artists
3
Aug 26 2025
Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music
Ray Charles
It’s an enjoyable album overall, I really like the vibes. Nothing stands out to me at all, and I don’t think that it’s Rays best work, but maybe it was important at a place in time. Definitely a good stepping stone of some of his music, I think a three out of five is fair.
3
Aug 27 2025
Blue Lines
Massive Attack
A really solid album, it’s crazy. This is the first of its kind. I love the effort they put into it and even how they basically created an entire genre. Not every track resonates with me 100%, it’s so close to being a five, but it’s a really solid effort that I definitely want to revisit.
4
Aug 28 2025
Highly Evolved
The Vines
I think this is on the higher three, lower four side. It’s really solid effort from an interesting group, I don’t know if it really reaches the peaks, but I was hoping for. The first half of this album is really solid, seems to drag towards the end. But I’m interested in listening to more of the popular songs and give them more of a chance.
4
Aug 29 2025
Teenage Head
Flamin' Groovies
I think this was a pretty OK rock ‘n’ roll/blues/country style, it really reminded me a lot of the Rolling Stones. Only thing is, I don’t see myself really revisiting this, I didn’t think it sounded much different or memorable enough to revisit. 2 to 3 stars is good.
2
Aug 30 2025
The ArchAndroid
Janelle Monáe
Holy shit. This album was awesome. Very epic, love the mix of influences, there’s a lot of older music. I could definitely hear in the mix. Jazz, hip-hop, R&B, prog, I was not aware of Janelle’s game. This was amazing, I’m listening to her other few albums. She has out now. Absolute five star.
5
Aug 31 2025
Tapestry
Carole King
This is such a solid pop album, feels like it’s just hit after head. All of the songs are amazing, I feel like I have too many five star ratings, but this has to be on there.

The Man Machine
Kraftwerk
A pretty good album, definitely better than Audubon was. Three out of five, it’s catchy enough.

MTV Unplugged In New York
Nirvana
I’ve already heard this before, it’s pretty amazing. Sad, emotional, and interesting choice of songs and coverage to play. But definitely five star album.

Not my cup of tea, feels like off key demo tapes. Not sure why it’s here

A fine 90s rock record. Three stars. Wouldn’t go out of my way for it but I’ll listen if it’s on
3
Sep 05 2025
Wild Gift
X
This album is pretty solid, it’s so close to getting a four, but I don’t think I can quite get it there. It’s pretty enjoyable, I like some of it, but it doesn’t quite stand with me like some of the other punk classic albums have.
3
Sep 06 2025
The Low End Theory
A Tribe Called Quest
A really solid 90s rap album, probably one of the best. Every track is so good, melodic and solid, surprising for rap form what I’ve heard. I’m conflicted on being 5 stars, but it might be a really strong 4. Id say it’s essential listening
5
Sep 07 2025
Survivor
Destiny's Child
I love the first two songs. The rest of the song on the album pretty much I skip, though unfortunately, I think it’s well-made, music and enjoyable for different crowd, just not for me. I don’t see myself revisiting anytime soon.
2
Sep 08 2025
Closer
Joy Division
It’s a perfectly fine album, don’t think I like this style of music. There was one song I think I enjoyed off of this? But otherwise, not for me. I think three is fair.
3
Sep 09 2025
Play
Moby
It was alright, nothing crazy for me. A few good tracks, but a bit overly long for me. So nothing great but not awful either. I think 3 since it’s listenable.

Greetings From L.A.
Tim Buckley
It’s not a terrible album, but it’s definitely very possible. I don’t ever see my self listen to this one again, but it’s not necessarily offensive or anything. I’m between a two and a one star.

Sep 11 2025
Out Of The Blue
Electric Light Orchestra
I almost finished this one, got a few more to listen to. It’s a bit too bloated, I think if I listened to one disk then the other it woudl have been better. Best song is Mr Blue Sky for sure, but I enjoyed Birmingham Blues and Turn to Stone. It would be good in the background. I think if it was shorter I woudl have bumped it to four stars.

Sep 12 2025
Feast of Wire
Calexico
I’m glad that I gave this one another shot, I think I was in the wrong mindset or something the first time listening to it. It didn’t grab me, I stopped, and now that I’m finally listening through for the review, I actually thoroughly enjoy it. It makes me want to go back at some point and listen to the albums that I gave lower ratings. I think it’s a solid three, so close to being a four.

The Köln Concert
Keith Jarrett
A gorgeous peice, the entire hour is fantastic. Not my usual go to but I could sit and listen to it if in the right place.

Sep 14 2025
Everything Must Go
Manic Street Preachers
This one is perfectly fine. It feels like inoffensive 90s rock, it’s quite a few of them on this list. It seems like, I wonder if that’s because the creator grew up in that time or something? I think three is good, middle of the road.
3
Sep 15 2025
Entertainment
Gang Of Four
I feel this album is what Devo and Talking heads feels like to me. Edgy but straight forward, great bass, really enjoyable. I’m surprised I haven’t heard of these guys before, but I really like them. Excited to get more into them
4
Sep 16 2025
Court And Spark
Joni Mitchell
This one feels like a solid 4 to 5 star. Similar to Tapestry, lovely 70s soft rock feel where every song sounds intentional. This is my first time listening to her as well, it’s fantastic. The vocals, instrumental and everything plays out great.
4
Sep 17 2025
Licensed To Ill
Beastie Boys
On ironically, love every second of this. Maybe it’s cause I’m a white boy, probably the target demographic, but I think this is the biggest development that I’ve enjoyed from this practice. Enjoying all of the 80s and 90s rap that I never really give a chance, it’s also good. The beats are great, the flow, this is all my favorites of all time now.
5
Sep 18 2025
Who's Next
The Who
Another amazing album, it’s crazy to get to five star albums, back to back. The best majority of this album has really good singles, a couple underrated songs I believe. Bargain is one of my favorites, but I don’t hear people talking about it. The Who is just one of those bands that has so many good albums.
5
Sep 19 2025
Hot Fuss
The Killers
Honestly a bit disappointed in this one, thought I’d like it more. Love the hits but most of the other tracks are passable, that’s it.
3
Sep 20 2025
Cosmo's Factory
Creedence Clearwater Revival
It’s a solid album but I think CCR is a greatest hits band overall from what I’ve heard. Good stuff, but nothing on the albums you don’t get from the great hits I think. 3 Is fair.

The Stranger
Billy Joel
Easy 5 star. One of the greats of all time.

Sep 22 2025
Live At The Star Club, Hamburg
Jerry Lee Lewis
A really cool cover album, hearing the classics like this is why I’m here. Woudl have loved to hear more originals, but this is one of the better live albums for sure.

Sep 23 2025
Innervisions
Stevie Wonder
Really great album, solid vibes. Loves to hear any Stevie wonder albums pop up. It’s so close to a 5 for me, but it doesn’t stick with me like done of the 5s do but is a good time.
4
Sep 24 2025
Darkdancer
Les Rythmes Digitales
This one is pretty fun, I can appreciate it for what it is! I’d give a 4 star to it for the beats and some fun melodies, but can’t sit and just listen to it. Maybe in the right setting it could be a 5.
4
Sep 25 2025

The Teardrop Explodes
Eh, didn’t feel like anything special. Listenable, but nothing I’d go back to. I’m between a 2 and 3

The Clash
The Clash
A fine punk album, nothing really gripped me from the album. Middle of the road for me, maybe I had to be there when it came out, I think 3/5 is good
3
Sep 27 2025
If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears
The Mamas & The Papas
A fun album, I really thoroughly enjoyed it as a nice, easy listening exercise. The heads are pretty solid, nothing really popped to me, but I would definitely listen again. I think three out of five is good, it’s almost 4.

Sep 28 2025
I'm Your Man
Leonard Cohen
I don’t quite get the guy myself, I’m sure there is a crowd for this, but it’s not really for me. I didn’t hate it enough to give it a one, but it’s a low two.
2
Sep 29 2025
The Age Of The Understatement
The Last Shadow Puppets
This one was good. I’d give it a 3 of 5, enjoyable but I wouldn’t go out of my way for this again. But a cool project to hear
3
Sep 30 2025
In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Crimson
Absolute 5 stars. One of my fave finds on here so far. I think they’re better than Pink Floyd and other contemporaries, I’m so excited to listen to more of their stuff from here on out
5
Oct 01 2025
Hunky Dory
David Bowie
Probably my favorite Bowie album so far, I liked it for the most part. Enough melody and hooks, a little bit experimental, but not too far, it was pretty palatable. The hits are amazing as always.
4
Oct 02 2025
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan
This one is hard too. Feels a lot like hunky dory to me, even closer to 5 star. It’s barely not palatable enough for me, it the tracks are pretty catchy and it could almost be a 5.
4
Oct 03 2025
It's Blitz!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
A really solid album, there’s been some really solid bangers back to back on here. I think this is another one between 4 and 5, im conflicted on where to put it. The tracks are amazing, and I really like the acoustic tracks too. I’m surprised I haven’t heard these back when it came out

I think it’s a 5. A few tracks right after Blitzkreig bop aren’t amazing, but then the rest of the album flows so well. It’s good enough, I get how influential this album was. Poppy enough, punchy, great simple guitars. Love it

I See You
The xx
Another 5 star for me. This one is a whole vibe, I love the sound it’s going for. A beautiful melancholy, it’s a subtle sound that really hits emotional and I’m not a huge fan of electronic. Music. I think it tows the line so well all the way through.

Vauxhall And I
Morrissey
I really like some of the songs, the other half are passable, I feel a low 4 high 3. It really surprised me, a good amount of the music I didn’t expect to like, but it feels like a modern Sinatra in certain ways

Sheer Heart Attack
Queen
Five stars, I think it’d prob the only fill queen album worth it all the way through. Guitars rip, vocals are solid, the hits really hit. An enjoyable experience

The Visitors
ABBA
Not my vibe. I like some abba but this ain’t it. I’m torn between a 1 and 2, I don’t really wanna hear any of this again

Beauty And The Beat
The Go-Go's
This one is great, solid 4. So many bops, really good upbeat pop music, their voices are great too. Reminds me of CHVRCHES a bit, like a new wave predecessor

Fear Of Music
Talking Heads
I guess I’m kind of a fan now of Talking heads. I’ve had 2 albums so far, but they never stuck with me. Now I see the appeal, this album has a lot of the funk and rhythm I was missing from some of the other albums. Solid 4, almost a 5 outside a few passable tracks.

Meh, just waiting for this album to be over. Not the worse I’ve heard, some of it is catchy, but def won’t listen to again. I’m stuck between a 1 and 2.

Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriel
Such a solid album, so close between a 4 and a 5. I think I’m going with a 5, I’m intrigued and want to give it another good listen. One of the first outside of Radiohead that makes me want to go for that. The vocals and instruments are so great.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory
Oasis
A pretty solid album, the hits were great! I think k liked most of the acoustic versions on the deluxe edition of the album a lot too. I’d say 4 stars just because of the singles, but it’s between 3 and 4

You've Come a Long Way Baby
Fatboy Slim
Not gonna lie, this one was pretty awesome. Not a huge fan of electronic music as most if it goes on too long, this one was pretty awesome. I don’t wanna give you that to deliberately, but I think this is a five star.

Really solid album, not something I woudl put on all the time but a solid mix of pop, jazz and the like. It’s always a good time listening to albums in this vein. 4 stars is solid.

Reggatta De Blanc

I love a lot of the Police’s music, but I’m not as big of a fan of some of their more reggae feeling stuff. But still a solid album

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

This one’s pretty weird, honestly not a fan. I feel like they tried to do a interesting concept album, I think it just turned out creepy. Two stars.

Winter In America
Gil Scott-Heron
Amazing album. It’s a shame it’s not on Spotify, this is an exciting introduction to Gil Scott Heron for me, I’m excited to hear more from him after this too. Smooth music, intriguing lyrics, it’s crazy to hear this stuff from years ago, a lot of these issues were years ago, some problems seem tog et fixed but others stay the same. Four out of five stars

What's That Noise?
Coldcut
It’s a fun listen overall! Same with all the electronic albums, feels a bit too long but I enjoy snippets. 4 stars, I think it will be better if it was all separate songs instead of a whole album.

Music From Big Pink
The Band
Enjoyable music form this era, I can vibe with this. It’s a good mix of old music I haven’t heard outside of the weight. I’d give it a 3.5 if I could, it’s good but I wouldn’t go out of my way for most of it again.

This album is so delightfully weird, I can’t explain it. I honestly think that is my favorite of theirs, along with the moon shaped pool, I can’t explain it, but I love it. Five stars.

Catch A Fire
Bob Marley & The Wailers
A really cool vibe, this album is great. I don’t see myself listening to it on a whim, but I didn’t realize how much I liked classic reggae, if that’s what you call this. Didn’t recognize any of the songs like the rest of Marley‘s stuff, But it’s a really solid album.

Prefab Sprout
Really fantastic new discovery, I’m glad I found them through this list. Love the jazz pop mixture, surprised I haven’t heard them before. They’re almost a 5, there’s a few ok tracks that don’t completely hold up for me, but they’re great.

The White Album
Beatles
Got to relisten to this yesterday, the elbow I’ve gotten the more of appreciated the track towards the end. Long, long, long, sexy Sadie, honey pie, good night, there’s so many tracks that I didn’t really follow or understand when I was younger. Maybe because it’s the end of a double album? But I really do thoroughly love this album, it deserves to be ranked up there with the best.

Aja
Steely Dan
Another easy, five stars for me, but I’m a huge Steely Dan fan. Love the mix of jazz and pop, each song paints a beautiful picture for me, it’s just amazing. I think everybody needs to listen to it at least once for the sound quality, even if you’re not a fan of the music itself. Home at last is my favorite underrated track.
