Ugh. Electronica.

Apr 04 2025

Enjoyed the vibe but not all the rhyme. The Gil Scott Heron sample in “Who Will Survive in America” is poignant.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Apr 06 2025

This is a classic for a reason. The background audio including announcements throughout adds to the ambiance and authenticity.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Apr 07 2025

It was fine. Good vibe. Not a lot of things I’ll be singing along to though.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Apr 08 2025

This was pretty good. Feels like Black Keys gots some inspiration from this!

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Apr 09 2025

Good early metal. Love NIB and the Wizard.

The Visitors by ABBA
Apr 10 2025

Fine ABBA disco stuff. Didn’t jump out at me but wasn’t unpleasant.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Apr 11 2025

This was nice, but not a ton of variety in tone or “vibe” on each song

Apr 12 2025

Of course it’s got the hits. The rest are fine. It’s hard not to listen to it knowing the foibles of the Gallaghers.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Apr 13 2025

Great vibe and vocals. Appreciate the subject matter as well. A solid album for just listening.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Apr 14 2025

I love everything about this album. Tom Sawyer is such a banger, and YYZ is amazing!!! I’ve actually under appreciated camera eye.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Apr 15 2025

I liked it, but it’s definitely not something you can just have in the background. The words demand attention. More for a car ride than just hanging out around the house.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Apr 16 2025

This sounds like trash. I can’t even pay attention to lyrics.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Apr 17 2025

Fine as far as this type of music goes. Not really my thing.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Apr 18 2025

Good music. Some catchy, some not. Appreciate the blues-driven, soul-filled nature.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Apr 19 2025

I enjoyed this album for background music as well as the instrumentals. Would listen again.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Apr 21 2025

A band I could get into. I plan on exploring more of their stuff.

The Clash by The Clash
Apr 22 2025

Punky. Apparently not their best, but I’d listen again.

Apr 23 2025

Not exactly for me in terms of subject matter. The style was fine. Will not listen again.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 25 2025

Pretty good. Lived up to hype…almost.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Apr 27 2025

Some good ‘70’s acoustic rock. Wild World and Father and Son are amazing.

Illmatic by Nas
Apr 28 2025

I like this style of hip hop.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Apr 29 2025

Not their best album, but it was good. Made me want to check out more of their stuff

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
May 01 2025

This album is awesome blues rock from start to finish!

May 02 2025

Great album. Not good background music. Have to listen to intently.

Odelay by Beck
May 03 2025

Good. Couple nostalgic hits. Love “Where It’s At!”

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
May 04 2025

I liked this album. I could get into these guys. I feel regret I did not when I was younger.

Parklife by Blur
May 06 2025

Not great at all. Came off a like some OG ‘60’s Brit pop…

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
May 07 2025

Again…’80’s pop is not my thing.

New Forms by Roni Size
May 08 2025

Ugh…enough with the electronica.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 11 2025

This has been a favorite of mine since 1999. Love just about every track!

May 12 2025

Really dig this album. Had me humming along the whole time. Love hickory wind.

xx by The xx
May 13 2025

Was okay. May listen to more.

The Slider by T. Rex
May 14 2025

Meh. Classic rock that’s okay.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
May 15 2025

Love the style. If it was a little more PG (or more subtle at least) I’d listen to them a lot!

Arrival by ABBA
May 17 2025

Pretty impressive and well done pop album!

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
May 18 2025

Fine for what it is. Not really my cup of tea other than background noise.

Disintegration by The Cure
May 20 2025

Ok. Love song is good. Might re-listen.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
May 23 2025

Interesting to have in the background. Not something I have a lot of desire to listen to…but I can see where this style has been influential.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 24 2025

I could listen to this all day!

Blackstar by David Bowie
May 27 2025

Not my thing. Past his prime.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
May 28 2025

A little less structured and poppy than I prefer. Maybe I’d like it if I was in a different mood.

90 by 808 State
May 29 2025

Electronica still not my thing, but this wasn’t terrible.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
May 30 2025

Loved this one. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to this style of jazz, but I’ll be getting back into it.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 03 2025

Fantastic album. A friend got me the single for Smells Like Teen Spirit and it was mind blowing. Almost every song is a classic.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jun 04 2025

Okay. Not much into David Bowie newer stuff. This was better than some of his other newer stuff.

Jun 05 2025

A couple of alright songs, but Megadeth has never really been my thing. Good guitar work on a technical level.

Queen II by Queen
Jun 06 2025

Really good musical construction and aspects. Worth additional listens.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jun 07 2025

Really good bass lines and grooves.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jun 09 2025

Meh. This just has low key Oasis vibes without the catchiness.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jun 10 2025

It’s alright. Live forever is a great track.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jun 11 2025

Definitely need to be in a particular mood.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

It was okay. I was actually surprised at the style and enjoyed it. I could see that Ben Folds may have gotten some inspiration from this.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 14 2025

Love this album! Everlong is truly amazing.

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Jun 16 2025

Didn’t realize Love Hurts was these guys. This was a solid “oldies” album of this style.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jun 17 2025

Love the combo of musical styles.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jun 18 2025

A little chaotic.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jun 19 2025

Fine background vibe music.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 20 2025

Dance/EDM schlock. Not my jam. Ray of Light, the song, is okay. The rest of it is meh.

White Light by Gene Clark
Jun 22 2025

This was good. Even my wife liked it. Very similar to other hippie country rock alums’ work (Byrds, Gram Parsons).

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jun 25 2025

Fine hippy music. Songs all well done.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jun 26 2025

Jul 01 2025

Outstanding vocals by Janice. Okay blues feel.

Scum by Napalm Death
Jul 03 2025

Ugh

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 04 2025

Good stuff. Will probably add ELP to my lists in the future. It is a bit high brow and somewhat condescending.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 05 2025

Really good. Classic.

Dookie by Green Day
Jul 06 2025

First real CD I ever got! Love it then…love it now.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Jul 09 2025

Really good folksy stuff. Red Dirt Girl reminds me of Travelin’ Soldier.

Low-Life by New Order
Jul 11 2025

Boring 80’s

Da Capo by Love
Jul 13 2025

Artful hippie stuff I guess.

Goo by Sonic Youth

Ugh. Electronica.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth

Aug 06 2025

I guess it’s good for the context.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Aug 07 2025

I liked the photo-punk feel.

Aug 08 2025

Nice oldies. Groovin’ is classic.

Aug 09 2025

Solid early metal album!

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley

Aug 14 2025

Pedestrian and not remarkable.

Good single…the rest is blah.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Aug 31 2025

I don’t know what to do with this. I guess it’s supposed to be good?

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Sep 01 2025

A bunch of hippie nonsense with a potentially good song that goes on way too long.

Smash by The Offspring
Sep 03 2025

This album is a banger. I can listen to this on repeat!

Trashy electronica

Interesting, not compelling.

Good reggae

Okay.

Not sure it’s really my thing.

Dec 13 2025

Enjoyed!

So by Peter Gabriel
Feb 10 2026

Pleasant enough.

Uncompelling. Fine music though.

B-52's by The B-52's
Feb 19 2026

Definitely a unique sound.

Mar 27 2026
