The hardest one yet for me to make it all the way through. I was almost angry with how bad it was by the end. This one made me question how badly I want to complete this project.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jun 02 2025

Almost painful to listen to on a couple songs. So bad it was comedic.

Jun 03 2025

Lucy I The Sky With Diamonds is great. The other big hits are ok, but the songs I didn't know were fairly boring. As a whole, seems very overrated.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Jun 04 2025

It's a good classic. The songs are not bad, just not for me. Bandera at the end was a good finish though.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jun 05 2025

The distorted guitar sound was not enjoyable for the whole album, and the voice is just not good. It's a shame too, because there are some good melodies in there. They just make them sound bad.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 06 2025

The album started with a couple really good rock/bluesy songs. But once you get into the more known southern bayou rock songs it's not as good. If they did more blues rock they would be awesome.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 08 2025

Powerful and heartbreaking. What an amazing album.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 09 2025

A beautiful sound. Lover You Should've Come Over is a 6 out of 5 stars song.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jun 10 2025

A legendary voice. Can't deny she sounds great, but not what I would choose to listen to ever.

Signing Off by UB40
Jun 12 2025

Kind of liked it just a little more than I thought I would. Lots of moments of cool instrumental parts.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

A very strange experiment of how many instruments you can put together that really just don't go together.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jun 14 2025

He's pretty great. But I feel like he has some better stuff out there to really push the 5 stars.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jun 17 2025

Very good, but MJ gets better than this.

Jun 18 2025

The hardest one yet for me to make it all the way through. I was almost angry with how bad it was by the end. This one made me question how badly I want to complete this project.

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Destroyer by KISS
Jun 26 2025

I do love a lot of these songs, but I can't justify giving the album a whole 5 stars. They're just a fun band, not a musically amazing one.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jun 27 2025

Good stuff. Some songs don't land perfectly for me, but Corey Taylor is pretty awesome.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jul 01 2025

Lots of mixed feelings throughout this album. I think I normally love this kind of talented instrumental stuff, but this one was not hitting for me. Largely felt like Davis's trumpet and Coltrane's sax were not meshing until the very last song. For a jazz album, I was a little disappointed in the lack of detailed drum time. Still good music though.

Guero by Beck
Jul 02 2025

The songs weren't necessarily bad, they were just annoyingly boring. Each song was just a simple beat or riff that carried on for 4 minutes and provided almost nothing exciting to listen to.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jul 03 2025

What an interesting experience. Had a few good funky jams, but I probably won't ever find myself listening to it again.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jul 04 2025

Great album. Had no idea Jack White would be playing piano through most of it.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jul 07 2025

I can't say it's bad music, but listening to the music that plays during the opening credits in 1950s movies is not what I'm here for.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 08 2025

Didn't know anything about this so it was an awesome surprise. 5 stars for the insanely outstanding bass and guitar throughout this album.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jul 09 2025

Well I guess I'm a fan of The Cure now

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jul 10 2025

4.5 stars really. Great riffs, and a powerful album for understanding that being an angry rebel delinquent actually stems from being more grounded in reality. Very relatable in many ways.

Jul 11 2025

Another one I would give 4.5, but since I have to choose I will go all 5 for this one. Really liked seeing it live a lot better though.

Jul 14 2025

It's great, but still this must be the least exciting of their albums. I'll be looking forward to all of their other albums on this list.

The Score by Fugees
Jul 15 2025

Did not know that I was going to find this to be as good as I did. Though some of the language is outdated, the lyrics were very interesting to listen to. And Lauryn Hill crushed it.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jul 16 2025

I get it. It was very influential. You can hear how these songs had an impact on a lot of music that came after it. But they just don't really do it for me. They never have.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jul 18 2025

Well that was weird. Maybe you just had to be there?

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jul 21 2025

I think if I had lived through the late 60s I would have really liked Cream.

Jul 22 2025

Listening to his cadences is incredibly satisfying. So unique and special. Would love to give this 5 stars. But respectfully, I can not enjoy the harmonica.

Jul 23 2025

Never heard of her, but she was not bad. Solid voice, good tunes. Just not what I would normally listen to. I'd give 3.5 stars.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Absolutely legendary. Wish I could have been there when they terrified the world with that opening track.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 25 2025

Another one I have never heard of, but I loved it. Most of the album gave me Celeste soundtrack vibes, which made me happy. And now I want to go play that game again.

Arrival by ABBA
Jul 28 2025

Can't deny it, it's brilliant.

Jul 30 2025

This felt like a prank. Annoying nonsense sounds thrown together that I did not need to listen to at any point before I die.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 31 2025

Great album. I should probably get them in my music rotation every now and then.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Aug 01 2025

The whole time I was listening I was thinking this is what it would sound like if Eric Clapton created a jazz band. Then the last song had a quick little Clapton riff in it and I felt completely validated.

Marquee Moon by Television
Aug 04 2025

Can not believe I have never even heard of a band that sounds this good.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 05 2025

I was going to give 4 stars until the big drum solo at the end. Can't give anything less than 5 for that.

Third by Soft Machine
Aug 06 2025

I think the psychedelic jazz idea could be pulled off a little better than this. Had a few good moments, but overall underwhelming.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Aug 07 2025

Boring guitar, boring drums, boring vocals. Nothing memorable in the melodies and choruses.

Aug 08 2025

Really does not appeal to me at all. So hard for me to even stay focused on it while I'm listening.

The Doors by The Doors
Aug 11 2025

Cheers to fun synth solos

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Aug 15 2025

The songs that are good are really good. But then the other songs are just goofy.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Sep 01 2025
Dirt by Alice In Chains
Sep 02 2025
Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Sep 03 2025

Pretty much just perfectly average rock music. Good guitar, but the songs aren't overly exciting.
