Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

platitudinous, but charming. very pleasant voice and soft instrumentation.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith

all my love for elliot smith always........... somebody that i used to know is regularly just randomly playing in my head out of nowhere

Young Americans by David Bowie
Apr 18 2025

i def wanna listen again sometime

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Apr 19 2025

that unmistakable life is strange 2000s teen indie vibe

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 20 2025

it's nice, but I'm not in love with anything. and not in the mood for this country americana vibe at almost any point

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 21 2025

dr gregory house

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Apr 22 2025

i was impressed at the beginning - first track fucks, second track fucks... then crash. has some other highlights throughout though.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Apr 24 2025

yeah i knew this one, it's fine, but doesn't sweep me off my feet

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 26 2025

are you gay?

2112 by Rush
Apr 27 2025

goofy. alright musically. ayn rand space opera is probably the dumbest idea I've ever heard.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Apr 29 2025

some of my all time radiohead favourites on this one. feeling cliche giving out a five to them, like a typical rateyourmusic dweller - I'm not the biggest thom yorke stan out there... but there's no denying this is an amazing album

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Apr 30 2025

I'm guessing this is mostly here as some important historical moment or the influence on later artists. It was pleasant, there's stuff to appreciate, but I found it mostly unremarkable. Everything before the title track just feels like fluff.

Violator by Depeche Mode
May 01 2025

in the policy of truth, tududu tududududu

May 02 2025

maybe I'm generous but this is the first album on 1001ag that was a complete unknown to me that i really liked. great layers, great melodies, fun instrumentation.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 03 2025

yeah no this is going in the rotation

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 04 2025

I was immediately skeptical at the first track but it ended up being great

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
May 05 2025

has really really great moments, love the eclecticism, the soul. but it also has incredibly boring or cheesy moments. and overstays its welcome.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
May 06 2025

very nice, i will definitely spend more time with it. haven't heard them or of them before, those are the best parts of the list. i do think the general idea will stay with me longer than any particular track though

Among The Living by Anthrax
May 08 2025

not for me... never was much of a thrash fan

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 10 2025

come on reviewers loosen up

Pump by Aerosmith
May 11 2025

some dumb fun here and there, nothing much, but I expected to like it less so I guess there's that

Protection by Massive Attack
May 12 2025

like massive attack, first time checking out this release. still like the others more, but it was a very good listen

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
May 14 2025

it's nothing special. cars are cars is surprisingly dumb but even more surprisingly catchy

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
May 15 2025

she can obviously sing but is it really that much of a must-hear? idk

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
May 16 2025

ah fuck it i'll give it a five, I'm definitely putting in the rotation

1999 by Prince
May 17 2025

funky

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
May 18 2025

i don't feel like this is the best work from pj harvey... the highlights are strong but I just didn't enjoy the lyricism here on a lot of the songs.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
May 19 2025

should be up my alley... but it was a little too repetitive. still nice

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 20 2025

don't get me wrong, I love it, but it def won't get as many plays as some other ones - aside from the biggest hits

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
May 21 2025

it has its moments. dumb fun.but I think I will forget about it in a week.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
May 23 2025

already returning to this frequently, just as with some other Hole albums. very nice release

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
May 24 2025

i like chameleon

Dookie by Green Day
May 25 2025

actually kinda disappointed on revisiting it. my memory was coloured by the tracks i remembered well, but the rest was, well... forgettable

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
May 26 2025

not for me

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
May 27 2025

I feel like my mind has been poisoned by the usage of music in public. I like this, but can't help categorizing it as simply "restaurant background music".

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
May 28 2025

soulless, but easy to listen to

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
May 30 2025

i thought the worst crime of this would be a generic take on the blues, but then also come the vocals that get grating sometimes, and the lyrics about "little girls". I'm having a bad day today, so this gets my first 1.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
May 31 2025

i expected to dislike it, the title track is so overplayed, and I'm usually not big on the cheesy hard rock with questionable horny lyrics. I'll be the first to admit, though - some of the tracks are kinda fun if you don't take them seriously. still, don't think I will ever go back to this.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jun 01 2025

historical curiosity, given the later sampling. amount of bongos sufficient for a lifetime.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 02 2025

platitudinous, but charming. very pleasant voice and soft instrumentation.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 03 2025

fun and nostalgia. if the ratings reflect how likely i am to listen again, I am obligated to give a four

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jun 07 2025

i like this type of music and I like icelandic musicians but for some reason sigur rós always lacked the oomph for me

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jun 08 2025

for some reason not what I expected? it's pleasant, not lifechanging though

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 10 2025

decent, not gonna get more plays from me

B-52's by The B-52's
Jun 11 2025

grieving how it's unavailable on any streaming

Repeater by Fugazi
Jun 15 2025

just great all around

White Light by Gene Clark
Jun 27 2025

nothing exceptional here

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Aug 02 2025

all my love for elliot smith always........... somebody that i used to know is regularly just randomly playing in my head out of nowhere
