Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada

Never heard of boards of canada until today. Reminds me a lot of trip hop groups I used to listen to, like Orbital. Really enjoyed this band. Looking forward to listening to more of BoC.

Elephant by The White Stripes

Fantastic album. Well written, great blues rock album

Pink Moon by Nick Drake

What a hauntingly beautiful album! I've listened to another Nick Drake album a few months ago and found it just as beautiful.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
May 22 2025

Never heard of boards of canada until today. Reminds me a lot of trip hop groups I used to listen to, like Orbital. Really enjoyed this band. Looking forward to listening to more of BoC.

May 23 2025

An iconic album of the early 70's. Several songs I've forgotten about. Loved listening to this album today.

Hotel California by Eagles
May 24 2025

Never been much of a fan of this album, but it has been some time since I've listened to it... I reluctantly listened to it again today... I'm still right, this album doesn't resonate with me. Its ok, but in my mind, its over hyped.

May 25 2025

One of the best rock albums of all time. Love this album. Highly layered songs, that are extremely intricate. Great compositions from start to finish. Yes this is over indulgence but I'm ok with it here. Love this album!

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
May 26 2025

Fantastic album. I never really listened to Iggy Pop before and I was missing out. Great album!

Third by Soft Machine
May 28 2025

Wow, I forgot how out there this album can be... I've listened to this a few times, once when I was a teenage, another when I was in college, and again now. It was not exactly what I remember. Some strong parts but overall, very interesting.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
May 29 2025

Absolutely beautiful album. Its very clear why this is one of the best selling jazz albums of all time.

Ctrl by SZA
May 30 2025

Album was uneven. Some songs I really like, next to others that I could do without...

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
May 31 2025

Fantastic album! Love every song on this album.

Better than what I thought it was going to be. I really like Jamiroquai '96 album. This was a good fun album. I enjoyed it.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jun 03 2025

Album starts off strong but by the end of it, I found myself not very interested. Its a decent album, but not by favorite by Wings.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jun 04 2025

Never heard of this artist before. Its ok, different. There are a lot of songs on this album that remind me of other artist of the 1970's. Lots of yacht rock artists must have listened to this guy...

Damaged by Black Flag
Jun 05 2025

Could not make it through this album. Not my type of music.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jun 06 2025

Ten by Pearl Jam

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jun 08 2025

Decent album, starts off pretty strong, but the end its a little repetitious

Jun 09 2025

Good album. I enjoyed it. I've never listened to Emmylou Harris, I like her voice and the production of this album. The song writing was strong, lovely voice and interesting melodies.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jun 10 2025

Memories were good but not a great album.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jun 11 2025

This was an interesting album. Started strong but I lost interested after several songs.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 14 2025

This was just an ok album. Not a big Simon & Garfunkel fan and I can see why. Of course it was strong song writing but musically kind of borning.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 15 2025

One of the best albums in rock!

Being There by Wilco

Never heard this album before. Enjoyed most of it. At other times, kind of bored with it. It was just ok.

War by U2
Jun 17 2025

Great album! War is an album that I've always enjoyed. Listening to this one was fantastic!

No...

Jun 21 2025

Decent album. Didn't know it but I like the vibes on this one.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 24 2025

This album is ok at best. Morrissey has always been ok with a couple of good songs. This album is average at best...

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jun 25 2025

Jul 02 2025

Never heard this album before, liked it WAY more that what I thought I would. Its really good!

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 03 2025

Couple of good songs. I really enjoy the first few. After a while it was repetitive.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 04 2025

Hadn't heard this album before. Its ok, not great, not bad either. No real memorable songs on this album

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Jul 06 2025

This was hard to get through. Just not my type of music.

One or two interesting tracks but nothing more here.

Parklife by Blur
Jul 08 2025

One good song, lots of average/forgettable songs...

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Jul 09 2025

Never heard this album, guessing by the number of times these songs have been played, not many other have heard of Belle & Sebastian. Just average songs here. Nothing to really get excited about... Not bad, but nothing stands out here.

25 by Adele

Its an ok album with a couple of good songs.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 11 2025

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jul 12 2025

Good album, not their best but good.

Was not expecting this album to be what it is. Couple of good songs, lot of different sounding Who songs. Not bad at all, just different.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jul 15 2025

One of the best cool jazz albums of this era. Its a great album, each track is gold.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 16 2025

First Rufus Wainwright album I've listened to in a while. Its just ok. Some nice songs but most of it was just ok.

Signing Off by UB40
Jul 20 2025

Good background music...

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jul 22 2025

Yeah... No, one good song and a lot of long bits that should have just stayed on the cutting room floor.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Great album with some absolute classic songs.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jul 25 2025

Not a good album. Its ok at best but lots not to like. Good background music.

Solid album. I liked some of their other album more but still a strong album.

Good album.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Aug 01 2025

I found this more interesting that I thought it would be. Not bad but not great.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Aug 02 2025

Cool album! Love Curtis Mayfield, but not his best album.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Aug 03 2025

Not much of a Donald Fagen fan. This album only reinforces that premise.

Aug 04 2025

Yowza! That was interesting. Definitely not the best album of theirs but it was very interesting.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Aug 05 2025

Fantastic album! Love nearly every track.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Aug 06 2025

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Aug 07 2025

I can get lost in these afro/latin rhythms.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Aug 08 2025

Liked it more than I thought I would. Good tracks.

Two good songs... The rest, not so much...

Aug 12 2025

Great album! One of my favorites of the 80's.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Aug 13 2025

Not what I was expecting, especially after the first track. Just ok. Rest of the album sounded kind of the same.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Aug 14 2025

This is one of their best albums, LOVE IT

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Aug 15 2025

Interesting... Might want to listen to it again.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Aug 16 2025

Good album. Like most of the songs.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Aug 17 2025

This album offers a glimpse into who Lenny Kravitz will become. It a bit rough and monotonous at times. It has moments of greatness but very uneven.

Pornography by The Cure
Aug 18 2025

Ok album. Some really good songs and a lot of just ok.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Aug 19 2025

Solid album. Great writing and fantastic music. Not a big Paul Simon fan but this is a solid album.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Aug 20 2025

Great album! Love his tone and melodical soloing.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Aug 21 2025

Never heard this album before. Like it. It became a little repetitive but it was still good.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Aug 22 2025

This album should have been left in the 90's. I remember this album and wasn't much of a fan. Just not what I want.

Arrival by ABBA
Aug 23 2025

Outside of two songs, this was a hard one to get through.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Aug 24 2025

Did NOT know who the Stranglers were, but a couple of decent songs on this on.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Aug 25 2025

Good background music. Just couldn't get into this album and I really tried.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Aug 26 2025

Good album, one of Van Morrison's best. Lots of goods songs on this one.

Aug 27 2025

This album had so much potential but its a bit slow and meandering. I was hoping for me but this album never grabbed me like I hoped.

Low by David Bowie
Aug 29 2025

Not his best album, but it was interesting

Aug 30 2025

So far this is the best Dylan album that I've listened to. Really like his more electric playing.

Sep 01 2025

Great album! Each song is strong. Love this album!!!

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 02 2025

Loved the vibe of this album. Led to listening to other really good artists. This album was good bgm.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 03 2025

A couple of good songs but not much more. A little more downbeat that what I was expecting. Not bad but not great either.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Sep 04 2025

Never heard of John Grant before today. I really like the writing of the lyrics and I never pay attention to the lyrics. Really good album. Looking forward to listening to more of his albums.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 05 2025

This album really didn't stick with me. Its ok, but nothing really memoreable.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Sep 06 2025

I can see the value in this album. Fantastic writing, fantastic music. Its good but it doesn't resonate with me. I will have to listen to this album again in the future to see if I still think this album is just ok.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Sep 07 2025

Forgot how strong this album is. Some really great writing on this one and an indicator of what was to come.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Sep 10 2025

Hard for me to get through this album. Its ok, but I'd rather listen to the artists Elvis was listening to. Decent songs, good recording.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Sep 13 2025

One of their better albums. Some of the songs were really innovative for their time. Many others copied what was done on this album.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Sep 14 2025

Not what I was expecting. More blues based, which makes sense given the lineup. Very young Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, and the playing shows that.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Sep 15 2025

Fantastic Album. One of the best albums in the 90's.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Sep 16 2025

Forgot just how good this album is. Strong writing from start to end. Great tracks!!!

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 18 2025

I usually really like dark post punk brit groups but this album was not to my liking...

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Sep 19 2025

Not my favorite by Siouxsie. A bit too raw with glimmers of greatness.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Sep 20 2025

Just ok. 2 decent songs and thats it...

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Sep 21 2025

Fantastic but uneven album. Some absolute bangers here.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Sep 22 2025

Kind of the same throughout the album. Started strong but it did not finish that way...

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Sep 23 2025

Never been much on Buddy Holly and this album proves it. Couple of good songs but not much more.

White Ladder by David Gray
Sep 24 2025

This one was a bit of a grind... I remember this album when it came out and found David Gray's voice interesting but the music... uninteresting... That has stayed true during the past 30 years...

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Sep 25 2025

Liked this album more than I thought I would. A couple of catchy tunes. Would definitely listen to again.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Sep 26 2025

No wonder I hadn't listened to this album before, not good... They definitely had a slump on this one.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Sep 27 2025

Really like this album. Hadn't spent much time listening to T.Rex before but this was a fun listen.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Sep 29 2025

Some decent song, it was a good album that draws from the influences for the time. I could hear Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossums and others in the album.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Sep 30 2025

Fantastic album, probably his best album. 7 out of 9 songs are wonderful. Great writing, great music!

Bossanova by Pixies
Oct 03 2025

Just ok. Nothing great here. Loved the way it started but this album doesn't carry the energy from the start through to the end. An uneven album for sure.

The Bends by Radiohead
Oct 04 2025

One of their best albums! Strong writing from start to finish.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Oct 05 2025

Just ok, not much here. I miss the poetry of reggae...

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Oct 06 2025

What a great album! Nearly every song is fantastic.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Oct 08 2025

Decent album, reminded me of Delbert McClinton. Good writing.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Oct 10 2025

Someone described her as a muse of the 70's NYC scene... I don't know about that, I could only draw parallels of her music with Yoko Ono... It was interesting but that's about it...

Imagine by John Lennon
Oct 16 2025

Not a big fan of this album. Double Fantasy is so much better.

Timeless by Goldie
Oct 17 2025

This album had it moments, but after a while it was all the same.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 19 2025

Just an average album, definitely not their best.

1999 by Prince
Oct 20 2025

Definitely not his best. Just an ok album...

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Oct 21 2025

Better than I thought it was going to be. I knew a few of the songs and I knew a few songs from the D&B demo's I've seen over the years.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Oct 22 2025

Not bad, I like the smooth jazz feel, which is not something that I tend to gravitate towards.

Boston by Boston
Oct 23 2025

Loved this album. Reminds me of my father. So many strong songs on this one.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Oct 24 2025

Decent. Hadn't listened to this album before but I knew the big hits. Its ok, even good. Its a good introduction to The Go-Go's.

Is This It by The Strokes
Oct 25 2025

Meh... Just meh meh meh... Didn't hate it, all I can muster is a meh...

The Undertones by The Undertones
Oct 26 2025

No idea who they were and now I know why.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Oct 27 2025

Not as good as True Blue. Some decent songs but kind of average.

Heroes by David Bowie
Oct 28 2025

Just barely ok. Was hoping for something more.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Oct 29 2025

Just ok. While very creative, not really resonating with me.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Oct 30 2025

Huh.. I liked this album more than I thought I want. Vocals are so 80's that it resonated with me. Didn't love it but didn't hate it.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Nov 03 2025

A couple of good songs but the album is not as strong as their others.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 04 2025

I really liked the writing on this album. A little more dour than I liked but still solid.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Nov 05 2025

Never heard this album before or of this artist. Really like a lot of this album. Really creative, really interesting.

Roots by Sepultura
Nov 07 2025

Just couldn't do it... Not a horrible album, definitely loved parts of it but the screaming and growling...

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Nov 09 2025

Just an average 90's album...

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Nov 11 2025

Good album, Love the Temptations.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Nov 12 2025

Better than what I thought it was going to be.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Nov 13 2025

Not bad, one banger song and the rest was good.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Nov 14 2025

Better than what I was expecting. Never heard of them or this album. Really like the vibe of this one. Will listen to this album again.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Nov 16 2025

Could only listen to a few songs. Most of this album, Spotify would not allow them to be played. I liked what I heard.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Nov 17 2025

Not good...

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Nov 18 2025

Better than what I was expecting. Not really a fan of Steely Dan but this was a good album.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Nov 21 2025

That was... interesting. Not bad, not good but interesting. I would listen to it again.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Nov 22 2025

Really good album. I really liked the live tracks.

Sea Change by Beck
Nov 23 2025

This album really grew on me.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Nov 25 2025

I forgot about this album. It wasn't as bad as i remember from when I was 5. Great guitar work in this album.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Nov 26 2025

Really liked this album. I wished I would have heard Bad Brains in the 80's. This was exactly the type of music I was into!

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Nov 27 2025

I had to listen to this album more than once and each time it grew on me. Some of these songs are brilliant yet bizarre. Really enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Play by Moby
Nov 28 2025

Not as good as I remember. A couple of good tracks but the rest left me wondering why I liked this album so much.

Dec 01 2025

Not a great album from the Smiths, I was expecting a lot more on this album but I struggled getting through this one.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Dec 02 2025

Love this album! Song great fundamental blues songs.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Dec 06 2025

Pretty good album. I've never really listened to early Rolling Stones, but I like the feel of most of this album. Of course there were a couple of bangers, but outside of them, it was a good 60's album.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Dec 07 2025

Either they were heavily influenced by early rockers in the 60's or they influenced them. Wasn't a bad album but wasn't good either...

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 09 2025

Really strong album. Never been a big Springsteen fan and this album was huge at the time. Good writing.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Dec 10 2025

This album did not age as well as I thought it would. Yeah two big songs, but other than that is was very subpar, especially compared to NAS and WuTang and others.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Dec 11 2025

I was wanting to like this album more, but nope.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Dec 14 2025

Very biting humor on this album. Satire at its finest... But the music was just ok.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Dec 15 2025

Just ok. Wished for more on this one.

Dec 16 2025

What a great album! This album was a harbinger of what was to come for east coast rap in the 90's.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Dec 17 2025

Nice album. Really liked her voice and styling

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 18 2025

Not my jam... I tried but it was ok at best.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Dec 19 2025

Could not make it through this album. Just bad...

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Dec 20 2025

Good album. Reminds me of Chicago underground in the mid-late 90's.

The Man Who by Travis
Dec 21 2025

Pretty good, would listen to more

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Dec 22 2025

Cool album from the coolest motherfucker. I like this album just as much as Bitches Brew, which came out a few years later. This was definitely an indication of what was coming.

The Band by The Band
Dec 23 2025

Didn't like the Band then, didn't like the band now. Did not find it interesting at all.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Dec 24 2025

I liked it more than I thought I would.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Dec 27 2025

Really good album. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 29 2025

Ok, Its a different album, but not what I was hoping for. More eclectic than necessary. Looking at their trajectory, this album points to more interesting ideas in the future.

Dec 30 2025

That was a tough one to get through. If you like traditional country, boarder line folk music, this one is for you.

The Score by Fugees
Dec 31 2025

One of the best rap albums of the late 90's.

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 01 2026

Absolute banger! One of the best albums of the 80's.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jan 02 2026

This album proves that I don't have the taste for Neil Young. I like his songwriting, but I don't like his voice. Nails on a chalk board.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 03 2026

Good album. Reminds me of my father. Some decent songs to say the least, but felt very time bound. Not a bad thing just something that when I think of 70's song writers, Carole King is at the top of that list.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 04 2026

This album and most of m b v is a wall of sound. I like some of this but it can be a little monotonous at times.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jan 05 2026

I liked it more than I thought I would. It wasn't bad, nice arrangement.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 06 2026

This album still holds up. Sold song writing.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jan 07 2026

Had a hard time getting through this one. Very 80's British new wave.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jan 08 2026

Love this album, this is one of the best albums of the early 2000's. Creative and refreshing for that point in time.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jan 09 2026

This one did not resonate with me. I like his voice, unique and deep, but the music did not grab me.

Low-Life by New Order
Jan 10 2026

Love this album. British new wave, at its best.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Jan 12 2026

I liked this more than I thought I would. The driving bass lines and the syncopation of reggae is what I loved about this. Strong album, decent lyrics, stellar musicianship.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jan 13 2026

Not bad. The recording isn't that great, which overshadows the performances here.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jan 14 2026

Love this album. Strong writing, original for the time and really guided groups like REO Speedwagon and others.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 15 2026

Love this album. Reminds me of uni. Well written songs and a good response after Gish (which I also love). For me, this is the peak of Pumpkings.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jan 16 2026

I like this album more than I thought I would. Good song writing and musicianship.

Jan 17 2026

Great album! Love his voice, the emotion he is able to convey. Also, lots of familiar songs on this album. Its interesting that this time in song writing, many artist would cover each other songs and be very close in time. It was a different area of the music industry and this album takes advantage of that.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jan 18 2026

Love this album. Wish I was into Sonic Youth when I was younger. Many bangers on this one. How this album starts is just fantastic!

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jan 19 2026

I never heard of Deerhunter before, I liked this album. They reminded of The National.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jan 20 2026

Really good album with lots of bangers. Not as good as IV or Physical Graffiti

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jan 21 2026

Good album. Iconic sound of soul in the late 60's!

Jan 22 2026

Decent album. Liked it more than I thought I would. Last half of the album is different from what I thought it would be.

Tommy by The Who
Jan 24 2026

Not a big fan of this album. I like the Who and I know what they were trying to do, but this album didn't land for me. Kudos to the attempt, it was original but the music didn't grab me. I do love that this album is part of them. This album didn't hold my attention very wel.

The Clash by The Clash
Jan 27 2026

Strong album with some great songs. This is the Clash that I remember.

Jan 28 2026

Sound a lot like Delbert McClinton, maybe its the other way around... I liked it more than I thought.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Jan 29 2026

Pretty mediocre album, not a lot of interest in this at all...

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 30 2026

Love love love this album. The writing, the songs, the feel of these songs are such a strong pull to this time of music.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Jan 31 2026

Good album. His country influence is on display in some of these songs.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Feb 05 2026

Better than I remember. Songs have aged fairly well.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 06 2026

Love this album, not their best but still strong

Be by Common
Feb 07 2026

Decent album, with a couple of bangers. One of Common's better albums for sure

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 08 2026

Nothing special

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Feb 09 2026

This album enforces my dislike of the Beach Boys. Just not that interesting for me.

Melodrama by Lorde
Feb 10 2026

Good album with a couple of strong songs. A couple of peaks but mostly valleys on this one.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Feb 11 2026

This album didn't grab me as much as I was hoping. Maybe as a fan of WTC, I was thinking this was something in that vein but it wasnt.

Different Class by Pulp
Feb 12 2026

No idea who Pulp was. I really enjoyed this album. Kind of haunting vocals with interesting song writing. Good solid album!

Feb 13 2026

I tried with this album. A few popular songs on here but they tend to miss with me. Allman Brothers is more my groove, not Lynyrd Skynyrd...

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 14 2026

Just an ok album. Sounds like a lot of other albums in this time period.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Feb 15 2026

Strong album from an innovative artist. Not all of her songs landed with me but the creativity really kept me wanting to listen to more.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Feb 16 2026

This is a better Neil Young album than the others I've reviewed. The groove and feeling of this album is very strong within this time period. His voice is not whiny, which it tends to be in later albums.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 17 2026

Interesting album. Cool grooves and catchy hooks.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Feb 18 2026

Just ok. Not enthusiastic about this album. While Bowie is very creative, I did not get this album.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Feb 20 2026

Banger of an album! Like a lot of albums of that time, lots of interludes that are a bit of a miss. Strong songs, great lyrics and absolute stellar beat!

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 21 2026

Pretty solid album.

London Calling by The Clash
Feb 22 2026

Good album, not there best but solid.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Feb 23 2026

Better than I remembered. This was a big hit with my parents. Decent album.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 24 2026

This album was more interesting that I thought it was going to be. Neil Young's voice did not grate on my nerves. The writing and production of this album was solid.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Feb 25 2026

I really didn't get this album... It was all over the place and couldn't really follow it.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Feb 26 2026

I didn't like this album as much as I remembered. A couple of decent songs but as the album was more of a concept album, it thought it lacked consistency.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 28 2026

Solid album. Good songs, love live albums like this.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Mar 01 2026

Solid album from a very creative artist.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Mar 02 2026

This was a tough one to get through. This was definitely the sound of early Pink Floyd, the PF of the 60's. It was interesting but not something I would want to listen to again.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Mar 03 2026

Just ok. Outside of 2-3 great songs...

OK by Talvin Singh
Mar 04 2026

One of the more creative and interesting albums I've heard in a while. I will be listening to this again!

Music by Madonna
Mar 05 2026

I really liked this album. It was a Madonna's last strong entry into the dance world, or at least that I'm familiar with. Really like the electronic side of this album, good beats, nice writing and production.

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Mar 06 2026

Meh... One decent song, but that's about it on this one.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Mar 07 2026

Solid album. Not their greatest but one of their better albums.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Mar 09 2026

Decent album. A few good songs mixed in with ok songs. Nothing shattering here.

Doolittle by Pixies
Mar 10 2026

Solid 90's album! This album always reminds me of college radio in the late 80's and early 90's. It was a precursor of what was to come, which I loved.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Mar 11 2026

Enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. Also, lots of beats here ended up The Chronic by Dre.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 12 2026

Oh Neil, you're writing is great but that is completely offset by your voice... Sorry, not sorry...

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Mar 13 2026

Yeah... That was an interesting album. There were times I really liked they groove but other times... just tough to listen to.

Mar 14 2026

Love this album. Lots of great songs and the execution by the band is really something.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Mar 15 2026

Solid album! I really liked the songwriting of it. Strong musicianship as well.

Suede by Suede
Mar 16 2026

Meh... Just an absolute meh... Nothing memorable on this one...

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Mar 17 2026

Better than I thought it would be. I've never been a big Deep Purple fan but I see what fans like. A few decent songs, some bluesier than I would have expected but definitely a decent album.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Mar 18 2026

This album grew on me the 2nd or 3rd time I listened to it. It was never bad, I thought it was boring. What I realized is that its a very subtle album. Its good for the background, but not their most inspiring album.

American Pie by Don McLean
Mar 19 2026

Decent album with one huge song.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Mar 20 2026

I don't know what that was... Different sure, artistic yes.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Mar 21 2026

What a beautifully dissonant album! From start to end, just a great sounding album.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Mar 22 2026

I like this album more than I thought I would. Sounds a lot like INXS and other of that time and the remixes are solid.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 24 2026

Just ok, was hoping for better.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Mar 25 2026

Not very good...

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Mar 26 2026

What an odd but interesting album. I enjoyed it but it was different in a good way

Mar 27 2026

Love and Rockets recall here. Maybe some Big Audio Dynamite as well. Definitely in the same vein. Its ok. Definitely has that Brit pop feel of the late 80's...

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 28 2026

What a great album! So much blues influence on this one.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Mar 29 2026

Could only listen to two songs on this album.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Mar 31 2026

Got to say that this is the best Beach Boys album. I really didn't like earlier albums, but this one resonated with me after listening to it a few times.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Apr 01 2026

Decent album. I liked it.

Apr 02 2026

This album didn't age as well. Good debut but after listening to it a few times, it doesn't hold up as well as some of his others.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Apr 03 2026

Different for sure, but just average. This album didn't grab me.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Apr 04 2026

Solid album! Lots of deep cuts, great electronic music of the late 80's!

Apr 05 2026

Solid album. I liked it when it first came out... Before they took an even more interesting turn.

The Cars by The Cars
Apr 06 2026

I never realized this album was the late 70's. I always associated it with the early to mid 80's. Really good album. Lots of good songs and even the average ones weren't bad.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 07 2026

Fantastic album. Well written, great blues rock album

The Coral by The Coral
Apr 08 2026

Nope, not interesting at all...

Garbage by Garbage
Apr 09 2026

Solid album from a solid band! Great writing and production on these albums. Love the sound and the feel of this album, a bit dark but a gorgeous sound!

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Apr 10 2026

Circle Jerks... Not my cup of tea... Wasn't horrible but I got through it.

Apr 11 2026

Absolutely fantastic album! Strong from start to end. The less popular songs are my favorites. Such good writing.

White Light by Gene Clark
Apr 12 2026

Better than what I thought it would be. To me, this album sounded like what I think AM radio in the 70's sounded like.

Achtung Baby by U2
Apr 13 2026

Another fantastic album! From start to finish very strong. What I love about this album is that I can hear the future Zooropa album in some of the songs as well as earlier songs from Fire and Tree.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Apr 14 2026

Just ok. A couple of decent songs but overall just average.

Wild Gift by X
Apr 16 2026

Good punk album. Enjoyed it!

Arular by M.I.A.
Apr 19 2026

Loved this album! Some catchy hooks mixed with some creative rapping.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Apr 23 2026

A meditation more than an album. One of the greatest jazz albums of this time. The wall of sound on this album is really something to listen to.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Apr 24 2026

This album, while very explicit, was pretty good. The overall, beats were solid and had a good groove. My expectations were low, it did over deliver.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 25 2026

Decent. Not my favorite Bob Marley album but it was pretty good. Some good songs. I've always liked the production of his album and how they are recorded. This one is well recorded and sounds great!

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Apr 26 2026

Solid album. Really enjoyed her voice. A lot of similarities to Dido, but just similarities. Beth Orton is definitely her own artis with a solid voice. I look forward to listening to more of her.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Apr 28 2026

Not what I expected. There was a lot of good in this album. Loved the guitar playing. Way more bluesy than what I was expecting. This album takes a left turn a few times and goes into interesting places. Overall, I liked the album, cool writing, but too many left turns... Even for Funkadelic.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 29 2026

Fantastic album. The second album is a little odd, but in terms of a story arc its a beautiful album.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Apr 30 2026

This album was a lot more of a cabaret sounding album that I was expecting. It was a nice change. Good artist that Ute Lemper was collaborating with.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
May 01 2026

One good song with several different versions. Outside of this, a good but average 90's dance album.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
May 02 2026

Just ok... Not a very deep album and very typical for the time.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
May 04 2026

I liked this album a lot more than I thought I would. Very catchy early 80's dance music. You can definitely hear the Human League in this.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
May 05 2026

Really good album. This band lays down such a great beat. Love this album, so much groove, which was fantastic!!!

Tago Mago by Can
May 08 2026

Not a fan of this album at all...

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
May 10 2026

To my surprise, I absolutely loved this album! The electronic beats of British dance music of the 80's is fantastic.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
May 14 2026

Fantastic album from a legendary band. John Bohnam does something most drummers did not do until after him. He did more thank keep the beat, he played drums like Jimmy Page played guitar, which was to bring the rhythm to the foreground of the song.

May 15 2026

Not a very good album. Did not mesh well at all. This was more of a jam band album than anything else.

Murmur by R.E.M.
May 16 2026

Really enjoyed this album. I haven't listened to a lot of early REM, so I was pleasantly surprised by this one. There is a lot of hints of what is to come from them.

Smile by Brian Wilson
May 20 2026

Nope, not a Beach Boys fan. I could not really get into this album. I just don't get Brian Wilson.

Teen Dream by Beach House
May 22 2026

Kind of a dreary album. It peaked my interest by sounding similar to The National and other bands in that vein. But it didn't keep my interest.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
May 23 2026

Solid album from Ray Charles. With the sounds of Hank Crawford and the band, its a fantastic view of the mid 50's blues with a big band.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
May 24 2026

Great Album! Love the writing.

Rocks by Aerosmith
May 25 2026

Not bad, not great either. Aerosmith was still an a couple of albums from their prime. There were a couple of gems here but they were still seemingly forming their identity.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
May 26 2026

Some really good songs on this album.

Green by R.E.M.
May 28 2026

Fantastic album, that remind me of high school. Great writing. While I don't love all of the songs, there are some that are absolute bangers.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
May 30 2026

Fantastic album! One of the best hip hop albums of the 90's

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jun 01 2026

No. Kind of boring 60's music.

Jun 02 2026

I don't remember this album being that good but it is! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this album. During this time I was listening to a lot of Ludacris, and I loved that Atlanta sound!

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jun 05 2026

Kind of a cool album. Outside of their one big hit, there was a lot of decent house music. It was enjoyable for sure.

Closer by Joy Division
Jun 07 2026

Kind of disappointed with this album. Not as good as their other album .

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jun 09 2026

Absolute banger of an album! So many great songs on this album. From Nighttrain, Sweet Child O'Mine and Paradise City. Great writing and performing from the band as well.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jun 10 2026

What a hauntingly beautiful album! I've listened to another Nick Drake album a few months ago and found it just as beautiful.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jun 11 2026

Decent album, not their best. Still solid.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jun 12 2026

Yeah, nope. Very poppy 60's music with orchestra.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 13 2026

Great album. The 3 of them were absolutely amazing with this album. I really enjoyed the creativity on their interaction with each other.

Jun 14 2026

I didn't know of this album previously. I liked it more than I thought I would. Decent, not great. Like the vibe, good song writing.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jun 20 2026

Good album with lots of really good tracks on it. Not my favorite Van Halen album but its still solid.

Jul 08 2026

Another Meh... Just can't get into writing these reviews since I've been sick...

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Jul 09 2026

I hadn't hear this album before. It was good and some surprising tracks with D'Angelo and Nora Jones.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 10 2026

I have liked other Elvis Costello albums in the past. This one left me flat. I'm not sure what I was expecting but other than a couple of songs, this was just a meh album.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jul 12 2026

Never heard of Tricky before. I liked parts of this album. The influence of Massive Attack was very prevalent in some of the tracks. The other tracks weren't as solid. It sounded a little unrefined and uneven.

Django Django by Django Django
Jul 14 2026

This was a nice surprise.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jul 15 2026

Decent album. I will be listening to it in the future.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 17 2026

I was happily surprised with this album. I'm not a big Rufus Wainwright fan but some of these songs were really strong. Great writing and really strong musicians.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Jul 18 2026

Decent dance album.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jul 19 2026

This was a fun album. Lots to like here.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jul 21 2026

What a great album. I loved this album when it came out and it still holds up.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jul 23 2026

Love this album! Great writing, great playing.

Jul 24 2026

I really enjoyed this album. One of the better lesser known late 70's punk albums that I've listened to.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jul 25 2026

Decent album with a couple of few good songs. Reminds me of high school

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jul 26 2026

Really enjoyed this album.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jul 30 2026

Meh...

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Aug 02 2026

Fantastic album. Love the sound of mid-70's jazz

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Aug 04 2026

This is a good album to listen to in the background. Lots of interesting things going on in this album. From haunting vocals to interesting arrangements. I liked this album.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Aug 06 2026

Never been much of an Elvis fan. Its ok.

New Forms by Roni Size
Aug 07 2026

This was a bit of a crazy and eclectic albums that I've listened to in a while. Cool beats that reminded me of the underground industrial scene of the mid to late 90's.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Aug 08 2026

Love the sound of this recording. The guitar tone is what sings through this album.

21 by Adele
Aug 09 2026

Just an ok album.

GI by Germs
Aug 10 2026

Meh... Ok Punk album.

Vulnicura by Björk
Aug 11 2026

Very creative for sure. Interesting for sure. Just an average cup of joe...

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Aug 13 2026

I loved the sound of this album. The vocals reminded me of Ken Nordine's Word Jazz. I decided to look at what this album was about (since I don't speak French). This album is about seducing a 14 year old girl, and taking her virginity... No, just No! Fucking creep!!! What you write about has consequences, and this is just fucking wrong.

Black Metal by Venom
Aug 14 2026

I just couldn't with this one...
