Standout songs: Waiting for the Sun Land Ho! Maggie M’Gill My first time actually sitting down and listening to a Doors album in full. A few of the songs were a little too slow and mellow for my liking but overall an okay album
Standout Songs: Boogie on Reggae Woman Bird of Beauty This album wasn’t really for me, too sappy
Standout Songs: With Our Love The Girl Wants to Be with the Girls I’m Not In Love Take Me to the River Pretty funky album although I wasn’t fond of the vocals
Standout songs: The Big Sky Cloudbusting Waking the Witch Jig of Life The Morning Fog This album was definitely a trip, but a good trip, so many different styles of music throughout. A really fun experience. Definitely the first album on this journey that I’ve completely enjoyed.
Standout Songs: All I Need You Make It Easy Yeah please no more of whatever that was, I don’t like electronic music like that at all
Standout Songs: Almost Cut My Hair Woodstock 4 + 20
Standout Songs: Atlantic City Highway Patrolman Open All Night My Father’s House
Standout Songs: … Yeah I’m sorry, this album was NOT for me. It made me feel like I was in a hotel lobby, just… waiting. There were no words in this whole album, I prefer music with words, gives the music something to grasp on to. This is just a flat out jazz album. It may be someone’s taste but it ain’t mine. Next please.
Standout Songs: Incident at 66.6FM Welcome to the Terrordome Burn Hollywood Burn Fear of a Black Planet Fight the Power I don’t often listen to hip hop, because I don’t usually like it, but this album was actually pretty okay.
Standout Songs: Welcome to the Jungle Nightrain Mr. Brownstone Paradise City Anything Goes This is the first album in here that I have already heard in it’s entirety, always loved this album.
Standout Songs: Blitzkrieg Bop I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend Chain Saw Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue Listen to My Heart 53rd & 3rd What a fun, upbeat album. I remember my dad had this album on cassette and I was absolutely obsessed with Blitzkrieg Bop. It was nice to finally sit down and listen to the whole thing. Loved it!
Standout Songs: Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic One Woman Already my second soul album on this journey, yikes. I’m starting to learn soul isn’t really my thing.
Standout songs: Chunga’s revenge Tango is not for me, only reason I have a standout song is because its a funny name
Standout Songs: Chameleon Sly Woah this album is weird. I honestly don’t really know what to make of it. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it, but I was more just left confused by it. So many unique sounds. That’s the word I’d use to describe this album, unique.
Standout Songs: Just Like the Rain I Sleep Alone Nearly fell asleep while walking to work because I was listening to this album, what a snoozer
Standout Songs: Fourth Time Around Visions of Johanna Desolation Row Tell Me, Mama I Don't Believe You Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat Starting to realize I really like folk rock, already the 3rd album like this that I’ve gotten and I’ve loved every one. This is easily the best live album I’ve heard to date.
Standout Songs: So Easy In Space Remind Me I’m not big on electronic music. Really hoping I don’t get any more albums like this, already the second one within a few days. This one was tolerable but still not good. Just not my style.
Standout Songs: Cecilia Ann Is She Weird Down to the Well Hang Wire Havalina The instruments on this album are so loud you can barely hear the singer’s voice half the time. After a while, it sort of all just blends together into… noise. It’s very in-your-face, with the exception of Havalina. I’m not saying it’s bad, I did enjoy it. I just don’t see myself coming back to it any time soon.
Standout Songs: The Sage Blues Variation The Great Gates of Kiev

Standout Songs: Johnaburg, Illinois Frank’s Wild Years Down, Down, Down
Oh dear christ where to begin. This is just noise. It’s not music. It’s loud noise. I hated every second of this ear-piercing garbage. Worst thing I’ve heard so far on here. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. Who actually listens to this and thinks “yeah this sounds good”?
Standout Songs: P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up) Unfunky UFO Handcuffs
One of the better instrumental albums I’ve gotten from this list. Fits the movie really well, very 70s gangster with a smooth soul touch
Standout Songs: Annie Connection Smile S.O.F.T. Blue Waking Up Never Here Stutter Absolutely incredible album, super fun and upbeat. Just about every song is a pure joy to listen to, gets me pumped up.
Standout Songs: Pyramid Song Knives Out Life in a Glasshouse
Standout Songs: Crash and Carry Kein Trink Wasser Not the worst of the ‘electronica’ type stuff but still not good, sorry.
Standout Songs: Play In The Sunshine Starfish and Coffee Strange Relationship It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night An okay album, but not Prince’s best work. A lot of the songs were very sexual and I’m not really into that groove, but at least it had a good beat throughout.
Standout songs: One Way Or Another Pretty Baby 11:59 Heart Of Glass A decent album with good instrumentals. I do like Blondie’s voice but its out of rhythm with the music for parts of the album and it gets a little hard to listen to. Overall not bad though.
Standout songs: No Feelings Liar God Save the Queen Anarchy in the U.K. New York Another very good punk rock album, and an absolute classic
Standout Songs: Rock with You Workin' Day and Night Off the Wall It's the Falling in Love Burn This Disco Down
Standout Songs: Breathe (In the Air) Time Money Us and Them Brain Damage Have always loved this album, and Pink Floyd in general. Nice getting something I recognize and enjoy.

Standout Songs: Shout The Working Hour Everybody Wants To Rule The World Broken Head Over Heels
Standout Songs: Dig Me Out Turn It On It’s Enough Dance Song ‘97
Standout Songs: N/A Well I found another type of music I really don’t like. This. British rap and EDM? Is this a joke?
Standout Songs: What Goes On Pale Blue Eyes Beginning To See The Light That's The Story Of My Life When I saw I got a Velvet Underground album I felt sick to my stomach because I was familiar with their noise rock type music, which is a style I don’t particularly enjoy. I went into this with the lowest of expectations and was pleasantly surprised. This album takes a step back from their more experimental work to focus on topics of love and religion. A very beautifully written album that I’m glad I gave a chance to.
Standout Songs: Smiling Phases More and More And When I Die You've Made Me So Very Happy Very fun, jazzy album. Absolutely love the singer’s voice. Makes me want to look into more of their music.
Standout Songs: I Remember When Dreaming of You Skeleton Key Calendars and Clocks
Standout Songs: Finest Worksong Disturbance At The Heron House It's The End Of The World As We Know It The One I Love Fireplace Lightnin' Hopkins Oddfellows Local 151 Another incredibly fun album, and an absolute joy to listen to. Stipe’s voice is so beautiful. I’ve always loved R.E.M.’s music when I would hear it on the radio, nice to listen to one of their albums in it’s entirety. And I’m definitely glad this is the one I got. One of the best albums I’ve gotten in this project so far (day 41).
I really did not enjoy this album at all and I’m noticing I don’t like ‘chamber pop’, it’s too depressing. And I hate the singer’s voice and how vibrate-y it is
Awful, terrible, and horrible. I didn't like it one bit. Sounded like an alarm going off and I couldn’t wake up.
Standout Songs: Cabin Essence This feels like an album made for children, there is even a song titled Song For Children. Why is this on the list of albums I need to hear before I die? I might have likes this when I was 2 but listening to it today was just a drag.
Standout Songs: Folsom Prison Blues Cocaine Blues 25 Minutes to Go Orange Blossom Special Dirty Old Egg-Suckin’ Dog Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart
Standout Songs: Erdi Beto Soya Banga
Standout Songs: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes You Don't Have To Cry Pre-Road Downs Wooden Ships Long Time Gone
Standout Songs: Spanish Castle Magic Wait Until Tomorrow You Got Me Floatin' One Rainy Wish Little Miss Lover A great album to get stoned and zone out to. Nearly 40 minutes of Jimi’s sweet guitar filling my ears. A lot of interesting sounds used throughout, especially the ending of ‘If 6 Was 9’.
Very long jazz fills interrupted by the same lines over and over and over. All 4 tracks feel exactly the same. Didn’t care for it.
Standout Songs: Pick Up Your Feelings The Other Side Musically, this album is fine, but lyrically, it is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. 90% of it talk about “I use my pussy to get what I want”. It’s not good music.
Another unnecessarily long album, and the first folk album I’ve gotten that I didn’t enjoy. Every song sounded pretty much the same and nothing really stood out to me. And I don’t feel the singer’s voice matches this style of music.
Standout Songs: Somebody to Love Today 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds White Rabbit Plastic Fantastic Lover Go To Her Come Back Baby
Standout Songs: Crosseyed and Painless Once in a Lifetime
Standout Songs: Blue Skinned Beast Mr Speaker (Gets The Word) Our House Calling Cards Not a bad album, and a song I already knew. Just didn’t blow me away
Standout Songs: The Bends High and Dry Fake Plastic Trees Bullet Proof… I Wish I Was Black Star Street Spirit (Fade Out) One of the few good Radiohead albums in my opinion, way better than their more experimental stuff
Standout Songs: A Rose For Emily Hung Up On A Dream This Will Be Our Year
Standout Songs: Closer Sex on Fire Use Somebody Manhattan Notion Be Somebody Absolutely beautiful album by one of my favourite bands. I have this album on CD and I absolyely love it.
Standout Songs: Second Hand News Dreams Don't Stop Go Your Own Way The Chain I Don't Want To Know Gold Dust Woman A near-perfect album, masterpiece.
Standout Songs: Thunder Road Born to Run Jungleland I understand the praise that this album gets, but I just think it is a little dry. No real difference in sound between songs, another album where everything kinda meshes together. I also find his voice isn’t really in rhythm with the music, and the lyrics are a tad wordy. It’s not a bad album but not Bruce’s best work by any means.
I don’t understand how people can praise albums like this, Kendrick’s voice is so monotonous. Yet another album where all the songs blend together because they sound practically the same. And that long podcast-like conversation at the end, what the hell is that? Maybe I just don’t like rap, maybe I don’t get the art behind it. It’s just not my taste. Standout Songs: King Kunta Institutionalized Momma How Much A Dollar Cost
Standout songs: Let Her Go, God Bless Her Katie Dear
Standout songs: Moonage Daydream Starman Hang On To Yourself Ziggy Stardust
Standout Songs: Movin' On Up Come Together Damaged A little too long for what it is. It was okay but really weird at times.
Standout Songs: Some Weird Sin The Passenger Tonight
A really long and boring jazz album, almost put me to sleep. No standout songs for this one. I don’t like sitting down and listening to a jazz album. I feel like I’m waiting. And waiting for what? Nothing. Just for it to be over.
Standout Songs: Breaking the Girl Suck My Kiss The Righteous & the Wicked Give It Away Under the Bridge My Lovely Man Pretty good album but yet another that gets kinda same-y towards the end
I have very mixed feelings about this album. On the one hand, the instrumentals are absolutely incredible. On the other hand, I can’t stand Alice Cooper’s voice. A lot of the songs are ruined by poor vocals. Musically it’s incredible, but vocally it’s shit. Standout Songs: Elected No More Mr. Nice Guy Generation Landslide
Standout Songs: Creep Diggin' On You Waterfalls If I Was Your Girlfriend
Standout Songs: Setting Me Up Southbound Again Sultans Of Swing In The Gallery Lions Very pleasant blues rock album, I did quite enjoy it
Genuinely awful. Just some guys screaming and banging on their instruments for 40 minutes. Wanted to rip my ears off. One of the worst displays of punk rock I’ve ever seen. Just terrible.
Standout Songs: Movies Of Myself Beautiful Child A slow, sad album that all blends together just like every chamber pop album. Nothing really interesting to me
I’m not saying I disliked this album. It was okay. However I do have some critiques. Lets start off with the good. The atmosphere is electric, the whole crowd is into it. And I do think James Brown has an incredible voice, that’s even better live than it is in his studio recordings. On the other hand, the bad… There are parts where you can tell he isn’t singing directly into the microphone because his voice fades out. Kind of frustrating not being able to hear what he is saying for half the album. I will say this isn’t particularly my style of music, but I didn’t necessarily have a bad time either. It was just okay to me. Standout songs: I’ll Go Crazy I Don’t Mind Medley
Standout Songs: Suite-Pee Sugar DDevil Soil CUBErt Darts P.L.U.C.K. An album I am very familiar with and one I love dearly. 40 minutes of in-your-face metal! System has always been one of my favourite bands, and to get to listen to the album that started it all was just such a treat.
Standout Songs: Respect Down in the Valley My Girl Wonderful World
Standout Songs: Tomorrow’s Dream Snowblind Cornucopia Under The Sun
Very strange album, didn’t care for it much. Especially that one that sounds like birds chirping the whole time, Pacific 202, that was awful
40 minutes of brutal, in your face, hardcore jazz. Not good. At all.
Standout Songs: Art-I-Ficial Let’s Submerge I Am A Poseur Not really much to say, a very average female-led punk album. Could do without the saxophone(?) in the background of most songs.
Overall an okay album, but some songs were a little too sexual for my taste. Similar to how I felt about Heaux Tales. The more ‘gangsta’ tracks were decent to listen to. Standout Songs: Gin and Juice Serial Killa For All My N*ggaz and B*tches Doggy Dogg World
The only thing that redeems this album is the instrumentals. Every song is about sex and cheating and has some racist remark in it. This album did NOT age well, and should stay in the 70s. Next please. Standout Songs Nighthawkin’ (I guess?)
Standout Songs: Kracked Sludgefeast Raisans Lose
Standout Songs: Girl Earthquake Weather Broken Drum Scarecrow Go It Alone
This is the second King of Leon album I’ve gotten so far in this project, the other one being Only By The Night. I have to say, in comparison, this album doesn’t nearly come close to bringing as good as the latter, but that’s not to say it’s a bad album. I did enjoy it, I just had my expectations too high. The lead singers voice is much different in this album, it seems like he got some sort of vocal coaching between the releases. And it’s part of the reason this one isn’t getting 5 stars like Only By The Night. His groan-y voice kind of ruins it for me. I will give it a solid 3 stars for the great instrumentals. Standout Songs: King of the Rodeo Milk The Bucket Razz Velvet Snow
An absolutely incredible album that helped pave the way for heavy metal. It definitely still holds up today, still just an absolute joy to listen to front to back. A little haunting that I got this album the day after the Prince of Darkness passed 🙏 Standout Songs: War Pigs Paranoid Iron Man Electric Funeral Hand of Doom Fairies Wear Boots
Standout Songs: Imagine Crippled Inside It's So Hard Gimme Some Truth Oh My Love Oh Yoko!
Standout Songs: Song 2 M.O.R. You’re So Great Chinese Bombs Movin’ On This album is honestly kind of boring and a chore to get through. Outside of a couple of the faster paced songs, it’s just so… mild. It’s not bad. Some sections of this album just seem to drag a bit, making its 56 minute run time feel like 2 hours.
A string of very basic country songs and an annoying vibrato. Most of the songs mesh together making this short 27 minute album feel like a blink of an eye.
