Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jul 21 2025

Such a solid record, really no skips. I like the tension between the often very feminine, girly singing and the badass message and instrumentation.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jul 22 2025

Iconic but honestly not for me. Not a huge punk fan and this album feels like punk dudes doing hip hop. Respect though.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Absolute classic. RIP

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 28 2025

This was a great album for this series. Led Zep is one of those great bands I’ve taken for granted and never given a close listen to. This album is the sound of classic rock in my head. It really highlights the link to blues in a way I didn’t appreciate.

I think at least one of these songs has been on every time I've gotten tattooed. That's pretty much the only scenario I like punk, so I'm not rating this too highly. I knew DH Peligro, the drummer. He was a really kind, sweet guy. Very unique dude, fun to hang with. He passed away some years ago, one of those tragic cases that just couldn't stay sober. You could feel that frenetic DK energy in him.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Aug 04 2025

The production surprised me on this one, really solid. You can hear the MPCs everywhere and the guys’ mic presence is great

Disintegration by The Cure
Aug 05 2025

I need to listen to this band more, great album

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Aug 06 2025

I did not like this album. It’s in this weird space between disco and 80s pop but does neither very well. I will say it is very evocative of an era; I can easily picture my mom in a suit with big shoulder pads singing along.

My dad was a diesel mechanic growing up. He used to use this orange pumice hand cleaner to get oil and hydraulic fluid off of his hands. This album sounds like that.

Kid A by Radiohead
Aug 08 2025

This album changed everything for me. One of my all time favorites.

Smash by The Offspring
Aug 14 2025

Every single song sounds exactly the same but honestly it works. Skate punk is the only kind of punk I can hang with for very long.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 18 2025

The sound of indie sleaze

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Aug 19 2025

I’m learning from this series that I love LZ

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Aug 20 2025

I had never actually listened to this band before. They’re solid!

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Aug 25 2025

My two most controversial opinions about music are that I don’t really rate the Beatles or Bowie

Slayed? by Slade
Aug 28 2025

Why is this on the list? Seemed unremarkable
