Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues

Fantastic mix of western licks and African rhythms.

All Ratings (49)

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jul 21 2025

Album full of great song writing, beautiful harmonies and an unmistakable 60 psychedelic feel. The beginning of the album starts off with sparse arrangements of acoustic or clean electric guitar and voice with little percussion, through to a wonderful instrument track, maturing to full psychedelic and dark blues. This album has unmistakable classics such as white rabbit and somebody to love.

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 22 2025

Album that redefined Metallica’s sound. Award winning and every song a classic. When you start with enter sandman this album never fails.

Jul 23 2025

Unbelievably cool! Rap heritage, classic and inspiring storytelling. Ice Cube, Dre, Easy E and MC Ren and Yella .. just awesome.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Beginning of an era. Doomy sounding from the get go, bass up front in the mix and frantic with, of course, Ozzys voice and storytelling. Saying that still splashes and overtones from the psychedelic 60s.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jul 25 2025

Master class in storytelling and song composition. Beautiful album with two undeniable hits, wild world and father and son.

Jul 26 2025

Wanted to love this album. Production , singing and playing are classic big band Ray Charles. Unfortunately most of the songs are slower love songs or revamped blues renditions, which drops it a star for me.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jul 27 2025

Another defining album. Great story telling and a different take on rap.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jul 28 2025

Fantastic Latin grooves and some funky slap bass lines. Didn’t understand a word but sure makes you want ti dance.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jul 29 2025

Fantastic Latin grooves and some funky slap bass lines. Didn’t understand a word but sure makes you want ti dance.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jul 30 2025

Fantastic Latin grooves and some funky slap bass lines. Didn’t understand a word but sure makes you want ti dance.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jul 31 2025

As the title suggests the album starts at breakneck pace and is an awesome example of big band jazz.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Aug 01 2025

Some great songs in a very black keys style. Howlin for you being a global smash. Whole album is well halted but quite understated from song to song.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Aug 02 2025

Raw and wonderful. Anybody who can start an album with a 10 minute song, allow the musicians to solo as long as they want then follow it with Golden Years is a genius. Classic Bowie.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Aug 03 2025

Start of grunge but not really as impactful.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Aug 04 2025

Amazing groundbreaking album. Part 4 being timeless.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Aug 06 2025

Full of melodies and writing that makes this album amazing. Moondance, into the mystic and caravan are timeless.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Aug 07 2025

Beautiful album. Understated but not simple. Would be better if I understood the language in Senegal. Really beautiful listening.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Aug 09 2025

Another great early Bowie album. Some of it sounds like poetry , others straight and of course there is The Jean Genie.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Aug 10 2025

Psychedelic rambling for the first half and seemingly songs and tunes strung together to form some sort of concept album.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Aug 11 2025

Great if you like Dylan and folk breakthrough.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Aug 12 2025

Nice evening jazz type of album. Instrumental and songs.

Wild Gift by X
Aug 13 2025

Postpunk. Guitar and instrument sounds way better. Nice melodies good harmonies. Cleaner. Also fusion of punk and rock ‘n’ roll.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Aug 16 2025

So many classics and a breakthrough in rock n roll.

Illmatic by Nas
Aug 22 2025

Ok if you like rap

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 24 2025

Just not my thing. Experimential , yes maybe, but not a pleasurable listening experience.

Garbage by Garbage
Aug 25 2025

Great sounding album and two hit songs. Emo at its best.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Aug 26 2025

Black Sabbath at their best. Contrast of longer instrumental sections in songs and classics like Changes and Supernaut.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Aug 27 2025

Classic album the encapsulates the late 60s. Unforgettable tunes like sunshine of my love and strange brew to start the whole thing off. Flowing into more bluesy mainstream toward the end with a great version of outside woman blues.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Aug 28 2025

Truly shows you can write a song about anything and write music to any lyrics. Not sure this doom floats my boat.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Aug 29 2025

Good. Lighter and nice songs.

Aja by Steely Dan
Aug 30 2025

Great musicianship. Not really my thing.

Stankonia by OutKast
Sep 02 2025

Good up there with other great rap albums probably outstanding for its time. Good mix between rap and melody.

Vespertine by Björk
Sep 04 2025

Bjork being bjork.

Nixon by Lambchop

Oh, very doom and jazz and light and same tempo

Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 06 2025

A classic of our time. Teen spirit, in bloom, on and on!!

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Sep 08 2025

Blues, folksy, spiritual.

Be by Common
Sep 09 2025

Melodic and rap. Many artist collabs.
