Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jul 10 2025

I like his soft, melodious voice, and his lulling guitar. Very calming and the selection of songs are very story-like.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 11 2025

Another banger from MJ, showing us why he was known as the King of Pop

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jul 14 2025

Huh, so that's who Buddy Holly is. This album has classics and you can hear where the evolution of certain musical chords came from. A bit outdated, but it is almost 70 years old.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jul 15 2025

I like this blues man. The "Mannish Boy" song is the one with the often heard repeated riff.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 16 2025

Maybe it was just the songs in this selection, but Mr Hendrix is an amazing guitarist but not as much a singer. The things he does to a guitar are magical, with a transportive quality.

Jul 17 2025

The amazing Cash songs of HURT, The Man Comes Around. In My Life was a surprisingly touching ballad. His cover of Personal Jesus is also mellow and one of the better ones. The gravelly tones of Mr Cash are fitting for the songs of this album.

Jul 21 2025

Apart from the "Right Here, Right Now", I've never heard any other songs from this album, or indeed, any other Fatboy Slim songs at all. They're pretty good. I think I've heard "Praise You" before as well, that's another good one.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jul 22 2025

First time I've heard a full Beatles album, and not a cover. I like Mr Postman, Roll Over Beethoven (first seen from the dog movies), Hold me Tight. Even though it's a bit old, you can still hear their influences today (2025)

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jul 23 2025

Ah, Gangster Rap. First full album of it I heard. The beats are catchy, the slang is understandable, and the voices are deep and smooth, and the pain they convey is real. I had an appreciation for it from the movie "Straight Outta Compton", and the rest of the album doesn't disappoint.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Kind of ironic that I get this album recommended just as news that Ozzy Osbourne passed away (22/07/2025). Some great memorable tracks and electric guitar solos.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 28 2025

The fifth and final Simon and Garfunkel album has plenty of expected high hallmarks, such as "Bridge over Troubled Waters". A combination of piano, guitar and soothing vocals to coat the whole album in good vibes, such as "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" and the parts of "The Boxer" that suddenly add the brass section.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 31 2025

Although the lyrics are impactful and the melodies fitting, the main vocalists' voice doesn't exactly fit the tone.

The White Album by Beatles
Aug 06 2025

Ah, the famous White Album. It has several great music tracks, ballad tracks and "My Guitar Gently Weeps". I didn't quite understand "Section 9", which sounded like the experience of half-waking from a lucid dream.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Aug 08 2025

I liked some of the Promenade pieces and the Baba Yaga section was great!

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Aug 11 2025

So that's what Janis Joplin sounds like. She's not too bad, and very croony.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Aug 18 2025

Yes, I like this yelling rock

Arrival by ABBA
Aug 21 2025

love a bit of classic rock

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Aug 26 2025

it was okay, not really my thing

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 02 2025

They have a great garage band feel. I like their song for Cyberpunk Edgerunners "This Fire", the songs "Take Me Out" and "Come on Home"

Sep 03 2025

Screaming girl teen rock. Despite this, I'm a fan.

Sep 08 2025

despite having their songs shared with all our smart phones back in the day, I don't hold it against the quality of their songs. Songs of note: I still haven't found what I'm looking for, with or without you

Night Life by Ray Price
Sep 10 2025

Feel like something from Fallout New Vegas radio

Tical by Method Man
Sep 11 2025

I like your methods, man

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Sep 15 2025

Cash songs are a great act, and the live performance at a prison for the inmates adds to the legend. I like the Boy named Sue.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Sep 19 2025

I like the pop

1984 by Van Halen
Sep 25 2025
Ten by Pearl Jam
Sep 26 2025
Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Oct 02 2025

Very ethereal, almost alien sounding soundtrack. I wish it were longer.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Oct 03 2025

Full of modern pop hits, it sounds great, but safe.

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 06 2025

I like it. Prince is having fun with the songs. When Doves cry was great

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Oct 09 2025

it was okay

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Oct 14 2025

Amazing album, full of smooth soul

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Oct 20 2025

I'm beginning to think that the recommendation algorithm is sometimes given a push, especially with NIN doing the newly released TRON Ares soundtrack. (I'm a sucker for TRON)

Tommy by The Who
Oct 27 2025
Dirt by Alice In Chains
Nov 10 2025

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 31 2025
Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 06 2026

Oh, she's the one who sang "I feel the Earth move under my feet"! That's a good one. Also "You make me feel like a woman"

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jan 08 2026

it was great! I liked the devil song

Funeral by Arcade Fire

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Mar 25 2026

Full of energy, but not really for me.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 10 2026
Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 14 2026
Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Apr 17 2026

Relax really makes you feel like a brainwashed male model sent to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia

Imagine by John Lennon
