I could listen to this several times in a month and it would still be fresh and relevant.

All Ratings (241)

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Dose not get much better than this!

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jul 25 2025

Interesting to remind myself where he started knowing where he ended up.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 29 2025

great music but the vocalist pulls me out of the experience

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jul 31 2025

There are some some really powerful tracks here that show a diversity of influences and there are some self-indulgent tracks on the deluxe version.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Aug 01 2025

Thank you for reminding me of this great album

Is This It by The Strokes
Aug 04 2025

A really tedious listen with the constant droning guitar chord

Spiderland by Slint
Aug 07 2025

Awesome deep sounds that are kinda grunge but more clear. I see this a a potential soundtrack for a neo-western movie.

Bossanova by Pixies
Aug 08 2025

Even though the album runs 39 minutes there is lots of music here. The Pixies are able to convey a real sonic landscape in a compressed manner.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Aug 12 2025

Great voice and gone too soon.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Aug 13 2025

Great mellow album that has hints of other British bands.

Quiet Life by Japan
Aug 14 2025

Kinda of OK for that genre of electro dance pop but not my personal fav.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Aug 15 2025

Good album and other collected works - I am not that familiar with Afro-beats and this is a nice addition to my rotation.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Aug 18 2025

Great album where the original is improved by a remaster where vocals are more balanced the rest of the music.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Aug 19 2025

Near perfect production value on this album - I use this album (LP) to test out new speakers and amps.

Risque by CHIC
Aug 21 2025

Might be the pinnacle of this genre and the bridge to funk.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Aug 27 2025

The arrangements are well constructed throughout and Nina Simone's vocals are incredible. One of my top favorite albums.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Aug 28 2025

This is my first time hearing this group and really like them.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Sep 01 2025

Another one of my favorites

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Sep 08 2025

Very focused album that while the production level is high and musicianship is strong the overall range of songs seems scattered.

Sep 09 2025

I could listen to this several times in a month and it would still be fresh and relevant.

Garbage by Garbage
Sep 15 2025

Forgot how much I liked this album. Yes, it fits into the grunge era but is more varied and intelligent than some other music of that time.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Sep 16 2025

One of the best Americana (NOT C&W) of the 20th century.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Sep 18 2025

Really iconic - cannot believe this was made in 1957.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Sep 24 2025

You have to listen to this at the correct volume - too low and the vocals are muddied and too loud the guitars overwhelm everything.

1999 by Prince
Sep 29 2025
Drunk by Thundercat
Oct 01 2025
Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Oct 08 2025

Good early work where you can hear hints of great things to come.

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 14 2025
What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Oct 15 2025

Does not get any better than this

Skylarking by XTC
Oct 24 2025

Very pleasant listening experience

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Oct 31 2025

Some good stuff here along with some meh stuff as well

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Nov 03 2025

One of my gateway drugs to metal

Different Class by Pulp
Nov 04 2025

A very refreshing listen from a group of solid musicians.

New Forms by Roni Size
Nov 07 2025

A bit of a tedious listen.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Nov 12 2025

Great mix of a crystal clear lead vocal and an elevated folk band.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Nov 21 2025

Unique sound that is heavy on the bass and mixes R&B sounds with progressive jazz.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Nov 25 2025

When I first saw the name and the cover it was familiar but could not recall any music from this album. Once I got two songs in I was hooked and toward the end I remembered the song Hero. Honestly did not want the album to end.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Dec 05 2025

Forgot how great this album is.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Dec 10 2025

A genuine welcome surprise as I have missed this in my musical explorations.

xx by The xx
Dec 11 2025

A very gentle sound

Dec 24 2025

C&W is not one of my usual favorites but the balanced musicianship is wonderful.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 01 2026

Such a deep introspective album that I found personally relatable

B-52's by The B-52's
Jan 02 2026
That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Jan 05 2026

Great album and the two times I've seen them live they put on a fantastic show.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jan 06 2026
Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Jan 07 2026

At least with me I have to be in the mood for Prog Rock and if you are this album is great.

D by White Denim
Jan 09 2026

Nice album and really well executed.

Jan 20 2026

Revisiting this album after listening it "back in the day" I find it really interesting.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 27 2026
Be by Common
Jan 29 2026
Feb 03 2026

There are some really good songs on this album. Maybe it's my ears or a combination of the accent and speed but the lyrics can be difficult to make out from the lead singer.

Debut by Björk
Feb 05 2026
Palo Congo by Sabu
Feb 06 2026

Not knowing much about this album I listened to it on Apple Music and first impression from a piece that is over 60 years old is the quality of the recording is very good and the group itself is great.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Feb 11 2026

Great album that you can listen to a little on the louder volume side to bring out the depth of the music.

Soul Mining by The The
Feb 19 2026

Surprising how well this album holds up. Great listen.

#1 Record by Big Star
Feb 26 2026

Overall good instrumentation and less than great vocals.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Feb 27 2026

A couple of good songs on this album but mostly meh.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Mar 12 2026

Really an enjoyable listen with great vocals.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Mar 19 2026

Very interesting for the time it was made.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 20 2026

Incredible from start to finish.

Kenya by Machito
Mar 25 2026
S&M by Metallica
Mar 27 2026

Way too polished for my tastes, have heard better from Metallica.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Mar 30 2026

This is a Bowie album that stands out for the sum of the entire album rather than a few memorable songs.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Apr 03 2026

Vocals are mid but the music is really good.

Low by David Bowie
Apr 06 2026
Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 07 2026
Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Apr 08 2026

Interesting concept with outstanding execution.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 09 2026
Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 15 2026
Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Apr 16 2026

Never heard of this one before today and not knowing what to expect played it on my headphones. Love the hypno - psychedelic music where the vocals acts a bridge to pull each song together. I am going to keep this in my playlist for relaxing bike rides and chill out times.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Apr 24 2026

Did not hear anything new or different from Black Crows to other groups of that time period.

Apr 27 2026

Only critique is it sounds a little over produced but otherwise this shows that Cash truly transcends genres and decades of music.

The Stooges by The Stooges
May 01 2026

I like the smoldering anger underneath the entire album and the guitar work.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 12 2026
Guero by Beck
May 19 2026
May 28 2026

There are a few good songs but the overall album just does not stand up to the potential of the band members.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jun 01 2026

Consider this album within the political climate f the 1990's.

Mask by Bauhaus
Jun 24 2026
1977 by Ash
Jun 25 2026
Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jul 23 2026
Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jul 30 2026
Frank by Amy Winehouse
Aug 03 2026
Dare! by The Human League
Aug 07 2026
Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Aug 10 2026

Such a strong voice coupled with real talent on the guitar.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Aug 12 2026

OK if you like depressing droning music

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Aug 14 2026

Cheerleader
