Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 23 2025

Not music that drives me crazy to have on in the background but also not something I would choose myself. I bet the lead singers voice could grow on me, but I found myself excited by the beauty and interest of the music and then a little annoyed by the voice. That’s the only thing that made me want to turn it off. But respect to what they’re doing because overall it’s a great and influential album, just not 100% aligned with my taste.

Blur by Blur
Apr 24 2025

I really enjoyed this. Probably partially nostalgic.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Apr 25 2025

This album’s true artistic quality has nothing to do with my rating- I personally was just not equipped with the taste to enjoy it. It reminded me of the parts of live concerts where they introduce the band but it went on for a full hour and that’s just something I do not know how to appreciate.

Who's Next by The Who
Apr 26 2025

Opening song was epic. After that there wasn’t much I liked. Getting in Tune was a hard listen. Also the singer often does something, that as someone born in ‘98, I can only describe as a Jack Black yell. It’s not what I’m really looking for in music.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Apr 27 2025

It was fine.

Apr 28 2025

This was a fun listen. I liked the sound and found myself dancing and singing along to songs I’d never heard before but was catching onto. Sometimes the album felt like it was on shuffle because some jumps from song to song were jarring. Not really a game changing album for me but I’d be happy if I walked into a store where it was playing.

Apr 29 2025

I can’t believe this guy was 22 when he made this. I appreciate what he did for music but this album was just not my thing.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 30 2025

A very hype start but I didn’t stay very engaged the full hour. Maybe if I listened a few more times it would grow on me but I also don’t want to listen again. Album cover is pretty sick.

May 01 2025

It’s like Bill wrote a poem and had a band play some cool music and then tried to read the poem over the top of the music and just made up a random tune as he goes. I’m between 1 and 2 stars because I actually enjoy the music, but I can’t stand the lazy feeling random meandering of the vocals. Update: I’m feeling physically ill at the number of times he’s told me it’s time to put God away. I want to throw something at him to make it stop.

May 02 2025

Was a good time! Funky, funny, and made my morning better. Could have done without some of the spoken interludes and some of the remixes at the end I hated, but the core album was super fun.

All Directions by The Temptations
May 03 2025

I was surprised that I liked parts of this more than I expected to. Maybe an album a day is making it just a bit easier to listen to stuff out of my comfort zone. This is still not my favorite genre but overall I think this would be a great addition to a movie soundtrack and wouldn’t mind having it playing in the background of the right setting. Not sure how much is standard for the time they wrote this, but I heard a lot of familiar sounds which may mean this album had a lot of influence on things I’m hearing 50 years later.

Achtung Baby by U2
May 04 2025

I was bored throughout. Not the album for me. A song finally came on that had me jamming and I realized it was one of their later songs and just started playing after the album had finished.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
May 06 2025

I had so much fun listening to the album dancing around the apartment. The songs were distinct which kept things exciting. I didn’t connect much with the lyrics and a few of the songs got a little annoying, so 1 star deducted for that. Would maybe listen again.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 07 2025

I had a little fun with this. Definitely not worse than other music I listened to in Argentina, but still definitely not my taste

Palo Congo by Sabu
May 08 2025

I hated this. Definitely not for me. It caused a deep anger to surface from my soul that hung in my heart until I skipped each song. I was not natured nor nurtured for bongos.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 10 2025

Is was kind of boring for me. Not my favorite. I could see liking it more if I grew up listening to this or had more ties to it.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
May 11 2025

The snoring song was a -1. Rest of the album was weird and not my thing. Felt very disjointed, sometimes boring, sometimes annoying.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
May 12 2025

Quit after listening to half. I didn’t like his voice very much. When he did do something cool, like the end of Everything Means Nothing to Me, suddenly the other instruments were disjointed.

Queen II by Queen
May 13 2025

I didn’t recognize much from this album. It was more fun than some of the other ones I’ve listened to recently from the generator, but still not my favorite

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
May 14 2025

Listened to half. Not many thoughts

Nowhere by Ride
May 15 2025

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this! Some of it felt like filler but there were also moments that felt like they spoke to me where the sound was unique and powerful.

May 16 2025

I really wanted to like this but maybe because I was trying to get work done I just found it super abrasive. I was so relieved when it ended. I like the idea of more uplifting hip hop, but I wouldn’t listen to this one again.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
May 18 2025

I thoroughly hated this. Found the whole style to be grating and annoying

The Grand Tour by George Jones
May 19 2025

Only got through half. Musically it’s nice but I’ve just got a built in bias against country. I tried to place exactly what’s wrong with it but it’s just taste. Put this on while I’m in line at knotts and it wouldn’t really bother me.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
May 20 2025

The songs I knew, I enjoyed. I don’t think I was missing much in the ones I didn’t.

May 21 2025

Started off wondering if this was a 5 star for me. By the middle everything got more annoying. Felt more like noise than music.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
May 22 2025

Lumineers meets My Chemical Romance in a unique style that I hated to love.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
May 23 2025

Something about the classic rock guitar and vocals doesn’t sit well with me. I think the right time and place could make these songs really fun, but it wasn’t while I was trying to get work done. Wild how many hits he stacked into this one album too

The Bends by Radiohead
May 24 2025

Amazing album with unique sound. Immediately went to replay after finishing!

Marquee Moon by Television
May 27 2025

I didn’t mind this but nothing about it really caught my attention either

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
May 28 2025

They were definitely doing something cool and made a lot of hits, but it’s just not for me.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
May 29 2025

Not really music imo

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 31 2025

Love this! Very fun and sets a unique vibe.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 01 2025

This was fun! I went in nervous because this is not my typical album but there were a lot of hits I recognized and the album was consistent while still entertaining

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jun 03 2025

5 stars for being a good fun album. 2 stars for my personal taste. Gonna put it at a 3. Would set a fun ambiance for certain events or shops.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jun 04 2025

As for the quality of this music I feel like it was not good. But also I didn’t hate it? It reminded me of some of the old rough blink 182. I don’t think I’d listen again but to have as background music while I work, it was fun.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 05 2025

Not a bad album but not my genre

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jun 09 2025

I didn’t like the mix of rap and jazz

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 10 2025

I really thought Jimi Hendrix was basically the same as Black Sabbath so I was surprised by this one. I know one of the songs because of a Fort Minor feature haha! Overall not my style, but I don’t hate it.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jun 11 2025

I only made it through 2 songs. Really hated this.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jun 12 2025

Didn’t love this. Maybe I wasn’t in the mood for it today.
