Van Halen by Van Halen
May 14 2025

Surprised by the number of songs that I knew on this album. Fun guitar solos throughout. Drums support nicely.

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 15 2025

Some absolute classics, but not a needle mover for me.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
May 16 2025

Was previously only familiar with Running Up That Hill, so nice to listen to the entire album. I think the vocals are playful and unique. Feel the album misses a guitar and drums at times.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
May 17 2025

I am honestly not sure what to make of this. Thoroughly enjoy the beat, the brass, the sax, but it is not something I will find myself coming back to.

Fragile by Yes
May 20 2025

Reminds me of Styx? Some fun, playful instrumental things happening.

May 21 2025

An absolute classic. Few are as accomplished as Elton, and he hits some of his highest notes here.

Transformer by Lou Reed
May 22 2025

My initial thought before realizing who Lou Reed actually was, was that this sounded quite a bit like Cake. Fun one.

Ramones by Ramones
May 27 2025

All a bit one note

Dookie by Green Day
Jun 03 2025
The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jun 05 2025

Second Kate Bush album I've gotten after Hounds of Love. Certainly more 'out-there' as an album.

War by U2
Jun 08 2025
Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jun 10 2025

If it's good enough for Good Will Hunting, then it's good enough for me.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 11 2025

A bit too all over the place for me

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

First real time listening to anything other than the main beach boy hits.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jun 14 2025

Not their best work, but there has been worse music on this list

Arular by M.I.A.
Jun 19 2025
Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jun 23 2025
Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jun 24 2025

Just pleasantly surprised song after song.

Play by Moby
Jun 25 2025

It wasn’t as awful as I feared it would be

Blur by Blur
Jul 01 2025

One banger and the rest meh

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jul 10 2025
Scum by Napalm Death
Jul 13 2025
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 15 2025

I was ten or eleven years old, reading a book I have long forgotten, and I vividly remember that it mentioned Fleetwood Mac playing in the background. At that time, I had no idea who Fleetwood Mac was. For all I knew, the band was fictional and made up for the purpose of the story. I'm not sure when I realized that Fleetwood Mac was an actual band, but I can remember pouring through their discography shortly after college and falling in love. Rumors is one of the few albums I consider perfect.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 17 2025

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would

Kenza by Khaled
Jul 18 2025

Did my best to locate the album

Low by David Bowie
Jul 22 2025
G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jul 23 2025

In no way, shape or form, did I need to listen to this album before I died.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

I’m showing my youth a bit here, but my first exposure to Ozzy came from my father (who claimed to hate reality TV) having The Osbournes. I found it entertaining as hell and it was only later I learned he was a musician.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jul 25 2025

A little goes a long way here

Berlin by Lou Reed
Jul 30 2025
Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Aug 05 2025

Genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Aug 07 2025

I saw Ice Cube at a music festival in 2016(?). It was pouring down rain and I was drunk off cheap alcohol. I had limited exposure to his music at that point, and I can't say that I spent much time afterwards diving in. It's not really relevant to this review, but I'm sharing it anyway.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Aug 09 2025

For the longest time in my life I imagined Meatloaf’s music was something completely different

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Aug 10 2025

I have no issue with the specific album, but pretty tired of all of the average brit-pop representation.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Aug 13 2025

Patiently waiting for the next state

Abbey Road by Beatles
Aug 14 2025

A bit of the Beatles best work is here, but there’s a bit too much fat around the edges as well.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Aug 20 2025

It sounds fine enough, but all blends together.

Cut by The Slits
Aug 21 2025

Is it the worst album on this list? No. Does its presence on the list confuse me? Yes.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 26 2025

Bruce is truly something else. The man has a way of speaking directly to your soul and eliciting feelings through your body.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Aug 29 2025

After Eight is not great, but the rest is better than expected.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Sep 06 2025

A home run of a debut album. Unbelievable five song run to start. The back half is a little weaker and keeps it from being a five. Still maintain that Sam's Town is the best Killers album.

Green by R.E.M.
Sep 08 2025
Roots by Sepultura
Sep 15 2025
Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Sep 24 2025
Metallica by Metallica
Oct 07 2025

It may not be my style, but it’s not horrible

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Oct 08 2025

at least it's different?

Tommy by The Who
Oct 14 2025
Debut by Björk
Oct 18 2025
Achtung Baby by U2
Oct 24 2025

Hating U2 doesn’t make you cool

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 29 2025

Purple Rain is probably the worst song on the album

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Nov 01 2025

Imagine hating on Norah jones. Couldn’t be me.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Nov 07 2025

Damn

Rapture by Anita Baker
Nov 09 2025
In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Nov 11 2025

It's a good thing Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone saved jazz

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Nov 12 2025
Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Nov 16 2025
The White Album by Beatles
Nov 21 2025

Album is unnecessarily long, but Blackbird is such a great song

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Nov 22 2025
Chris by Christine and the Queens
Nov 24 2025
Revolver by Beatles
Nov 26 2025

One great song and a lot of blah

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Dec 02 2025
Damaged by Black Flag
Dec 08 2025
Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Dec 11 2025
3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Dec 21 2025
Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 23 2025

It’s not my favorite Springsteen, and probably not his best work, but still exceptional

Dry by PJ Harvey
Dec 28 2025
Pearl by Janis Joplin
Dec 30 2025
Odelay by Beck
Jan 01 2026

This is just Kid Rock for people with a college degree

Who's Next by The Who
Jan 04 2026

No album should ever be 2.5 hours long

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jan 18 2026

This album hovering at a 3 just shows that people are rating a name and not the album itself. It is not Taylor’s best work, but it probably in her top five.

OK by Talvin Singh

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 14 2026

They simply don’t get much better than this. Thunder Road is perhaps the greatest song of all time.
