Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics

2 songs in and sitting at 5 stars. Love the grittyness and grudgier feel of that cheerful 60s pop band typical feel. Like an edgier cover garage band. Wish it was less covers which might drop to 4. Like the white stripes or black Keyes but in the 60s. Think first 5. Listened through the album multiple times today

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Apr 15 2025

Really like the police but album almost felt too short. Some jams in it tho and quirky music. Just a little boring.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 16 2025

Super cheesey. Not my style really but beats were sick

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 17 2025

I love this album. For some reason feels homey and comforting. Has a twang that makes it feel like a summer time but also serious songs. Great listen front to back

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Apr 18 2025

Insane sad emotional guitar riff to open and then just drops some funk. Super high energy when funky with amazing grooves and vocals. This is my favorite discovered album on this so far

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Apr 23 2025

Not my cup of tea but some great ones. Too horny

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Apr 25 2025

Masterpiece. Insane production

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Apr 26 2025

Not for me. Too synthy beats that makes it feel old and not in a good way. 2 star? Almost first 1 star

Illmatic by Nas
Apr 29 2025

Possibly my favorite album on this list so far.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Apr 30 2025

4/5. Punky but also glam rock. A lot of fun. Opening song sets the tonr

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
May 01 2025

Like a few of them and some of the more Texas feeling ones but not for me. Almost Elvisy at times but with even more than re country. Wish all songs were like the last one on album. Feel like his other music is better than this album

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
May 02 2025

2 songs in and sitting at 5 stars. Love the grittyness and grudgier feel of that cheerful 60s pop band typical feel. Like an edgier cover garage band. Wish it was less covers which might drop to 4. Like the white stripes or black Keyes but in the 60s. Think first 5. Listened through the album multiple times today

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
May 03 2025

Pretty good so far. Really like the horns. Style isn't totally for me but very uplifting and cheerful. 3 most likely and the horns really pushed it up. Think I'm more of a bill withers guy

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
May 06 2025

Forgot headphones so listened on speaker at low volume which I feel isn't fair to this album. Will need to revisit later on but 3 for now as place holder

May 07 2025

This was good. Not really into softer alt right now so going right down the middle. Could have been a 2 but them being from Chicago bumps it

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
May 08 2025

Album goes so hard and carrys a ton of energy. Feels like a tracklist for an old Playstation game. Transitions between songs are amazing. Novelty wore off a bit about halfway through. 4 album

May 09 2025

Not enough energy. I also didn't think the synth went with the feel of the album

Black Metal by Venom
May 11 2025

Maybe just not in the mood for the album but wasn't feeling the heavy metal

Moving Pictures by Rush
May 12 2025

Tom Sawyer/limelight are obviously amazing but geddy Lee kind of overwhelms me after a bit. YYZ I was really suprised by. Bass rips and almost feels like heavy metals at times. Albums great

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 13 2025

Lot of duds some good. Gorilla vibes a lot. Was hoping to like this way more than I did 2

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
May 14 2025

Very Caucasian cover art. Great album. Though. Very Beatles sounding with some heavier sounds that leans into the stones and even Zeppelin like in 9 pound hammer. I really like it. Going to listen through their discography. 4 almost 5

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
May 15 2025

Live album of Chicago blues ezpz 5

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
May 17 2025

Something really comforting about this album. Tiger mountain peasant song was a favorite. Harmonies are great 4

Aja by Steely Dan
May 19 2025

Forgot how jazzy they can be. A treat of an album in the morning. It's odd because the music is almost made to just be played in the background of a party or something. I really liked this and each artist is amazing on it. 3-4

Blackstar by David Bowie
May 20 2025

Cool saxophone stuff. Sad knowing he died 2 days after this album dropped. Not for me. Feel like I should relisten later on and really focus on lyrics but at this time didn't love the album. No flow to album. 2

May 21 2025

Intro to album is so incredible. Awesome album. The expiramental guitar stuff is weird.

The White Album by Beatles
May 25 2025

One of the CDs we had in our car in HS so has a special place with me.

Jun 01 2025

Their best live performance but for whatever reason I wasn't in the mood while listening. A few songs stand out and Kurt Cobain does some fun things with his voice. Feel like Nirvana fans would be pissed but 3 stars

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jun 03 2025

Really like the first song especially strong knowing he died 3 weeks after release. Other than that it's not my cup of tea. Talk singing a lot.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jun 04 2025

Was really suprised at the amount of songs I knew and liked were on this album

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jun 06 2025

Nastalgic album. Extremely relaxing. Could be good car ride music. Had no clue he was irish

OK by Talvin Singh
Jun 08 2025
Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Super self aware album for the late Beach boys. This one really suprised me and I found it really good. Disney girl a highlight. Between 4-5 but thinking 5. Cool range to this album

Dookie by Green Day
Jun 14 2025

One of my favorite albums growing up. Would listen to this constantly on my Walkman in the bus. Sadly didn't hold up as much as I remember. Going 4 but likely deserves 5

Microshift by Hookworms
Jun 15 2025

Cool textures but not exactly for me.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Feb 02 2026

Sound not for me but liked a few

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jun 05 2026

Loving the sound. Soul soup. Album suprised me and came out of nowhere. Hero and the intro stand out. Production crazy good too. 4 stars

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 09 2026

Great flowing album with hits. Wasn't totally in the mood for s and g when listening.

Nowhere by Ride
Jun 11 2026

2. Didn't do anything for me

Spiderland by Slint
Jul 23 2026

Fascinating album. Moody and do some weird things with their sound. Need another listen through one day but for now a 3

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 24 2026

Didn't liek. Voice

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jul 25 2026

Amazing vocals. Need a relisten
