Popular Reviews

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music

4 out of 5. Very cool, groovy, trippy, funky, not sure what that was! Upbeat, fast tempo that makes you want to move. New to me!

Vespertine by Björk

1 out of 5 The second Bjork album? I liked this one less than the first. Too slow and just out there. Waaaaayyyyy out there.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Aug 12 2025

Not bad - 3.5 out of 5 Eric Clapton is always a legend, depsite how ignorant he is (we didn't back then what an a-hole he was). TIL Duane Allman was a huge contributor which makes sense. This sounds like Southern Rock and has the Allman Brothers sound. Little bluesy, some southern rock, and little bit of folk rock. Not too bad. Good background music while working.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Aug 13 2025

5 stars. Their iconic second album. Missing a little something without Dickinson, but still one of the classic heavy metal albums. Great sound and dark riffs.

1999 by Prince
Aug 14 2025

5 out of 5 One of the all-time best. Funky, groovy, party beats. Almost everything on the A Side is a #1 hit. The B Side has some absolute crunchy bangers. Great music to party or focus. Prince and the Revolution just make me happy!

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Aug 15 2025

1 out of 5 for me. No offense, I know she's a legend but Joni Mitchell is not my kind of music. Too folksy. Smelly cat, smelly cat. What are they feeding you?

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Aug 18 2025

4 out of 5. This is why I signed up for this service! So happy to listen to new music not from the USA. Great blues and head-bopping beats. The first two tracks are ending up on my Favorites List.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Aug 19 2025

3 of 5 He is the King but I’ve always been more of a Beatles man. Some of the classics are on this album and some other decent ones. It’s ok!

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Aug 20 2025

4 out of 5. That is a classic album. Some songs are just ok. There are some great ones in addition to Clint Eastwood.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Aug 21 2025

1 out of 5 Just not my bag, baby. Sounds like something from Mad Men (zubie, zubie, zoo). But I made it through the whole album if that counts for something.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Aug 22 2025

4 out of 5. Very cool, groovy, trippy, funky, not sure what that was! Upbeat, fast tempo that makes you want to move. New to me!

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Aug 25 2025

3 out of 5 WILLIE! I am not a country fan but he is legend. Fire one up, and kick back to some outlaw country. Few songs were really slow but was pretty good overall.

Fragile by Yes
Aug 26 2025

3 out of 5 Lot of slow songs. I’m a big fan of Yes but not all their songs.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Aug 27 2025

2 out of 5 I was transported to Miami. My wife came down the stairs dancing. That was well worth it! Great Cuban music to set the tone.

Ctrl by SZA
Aug 28 2025

4 out of 5 Not too bad. Some slower songs but I liked the collaborations. Pretty good R&B.

Doolittle by Pixies
Aug 29 2025

5 out of 5 One of the best of the 80s. Alternative meets grunge.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 02 2025

5 out of 5 The best soul funk of the 70s. Heard some new songs. Almost everything on this one is a banger.

Sep 03 2025

5 out of 5 Early 2000s rap classic. All bangers this is great.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Sep 04 2025

4 out of 5 Good album. Elton's songs are timeless. Nice to hear some lesser-played songs.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Sep 05 2025

0 of 5 I tried. It hurt my ears so bad. I could not make it through sorry.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Sep 08 2025

3 out of 5 Quintessential yet background classic rock. I know their music well but would not seek it out.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Sep 09 2025

5 of 5 Love every single song. Talking Heads is a phenomenonal band

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Sep 11 2025

3 out of 5 Few good songs but slower.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Sep 12 2025

1 out of 5 The first song was ok, and a few were enjoyable. The rest was, to say the least, difficult. Not my genre unfortunately.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Sep 15 2025

2 out of 5 Star Man was out there lol. Not all of these are hits!

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Sep 16 2025

4 out of 5 From the early days of rap. Chuck D and Flavor Flav had great beats and powerful lyrics. Not related to this album, but I really, really needed this music after they gave me "Super Fuzzy Logic" yesterday. That shit was painful.

No Other by Gene Clark
Sep 17 2025

2 out of 5. Something new, little slow but not bad for backfround music. Crazy backstory in the Wikipedia article!

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 18 2025

4 out of 5 This was epic when it came out. Pumpkins were so different from all the grunge that was out there. Edgier and sharper - classic 90s angst captured well.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Sep 19 2025

1 out of 5 This was not for me.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Sep 22 2025

4 out of 5 Take me back to Woodstock. Essential classic rock from the flower child era.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Sep 24 2025

3 out of 5 I liked this new music. Lot of good songs.

The La's by The La's
Sep 25 2025

3 of 5 God I hate that There She Goes song. It is so so bad, but the rest of this album has some great songs I have never heard of! For that reason, 3 stars.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Sep 26 2025

2 out of 5 I like Radiohead because I am a creep, but the majority of the songs on this later album were not so great.

Diamond Life by Sade
Sep 29 2025

2 out of 5. I have been pondering how LA to Chicago is considered coast to coast for 40 years.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Oct 02 2025

4 out of 5 Great music, upbeat, and makes you want to get up and move. Has elements of Cuban or Samba. Will definitely listen to more of Youssou

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Oct 07 2025

4 out of 5 One of their best. Great alternative 80s

Odelay by Beck
Oct 08 2025

4 out of 5 One of the best. Almost all bangers and should be 5 stars except for some of the screechy loud noise songs

Oct 09 2025

2 out of 5 I was expecting nothing, and I was surprised to be wrong. More 70s alternative than slow rock.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Oct 10 2025

4 out of 5 One of the great ones from The Piano Man. Almost all songs are bangers. More Billy Joel

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Oct 14 2025

2 out of 5 Some good well known tunes. Decent yacht rock.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Oct 15 2025

2 out of 5 That was different! Cannot believe this is the first time I have heard of these guys from Norway. Not the kind of metal I listen to but it was ok.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Oct 16 2025

3 out of 5 This is your standard Classic Rock but they sounded really great on this live album. Surprised me! And there were some awesome songs that you never hear on the radio. TIL that this band is Irish!

Raw Power by The Stooges
Oct 17 2025

2 out of 5 Some of the Stooge's songs are iconic. Some are painful to my ears.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Oct 21 2025

5 out of 5 So many great songs and great memories of high school parties. Every song rocks. I'd give it an 8 if I could but I forgot what 8 was for.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Oct 22 2025

5 out of 5 Essential classic metal. MofP and Justice for All were like no other. Close to perfection.

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 23 2025

3 out of 5 Not as bad as I expected lol

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 24 2025

4 out of 5 Such a great collection of live songs. Love this album. Getting those prisoners all riled up.

Guero by Beck
Oct 27 2025

3 out of 5 Some awesome classic Beck songs. But some songs were too screechy for me!

Oct 28 2025

5 out of 5 The GOAT of 80's rap albums. Every song is a banger.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Oct 30 2025

4 out of 5 Never heard half these songs but I enjoyed all of them. Great classic rock catalogue.

Dookie by Green Day
Nov 03 2025

2 out of 5 I mean it's ok and we all liked Green Day when they came out. But they were heavily over-played and sound the same after awhile.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Nov 04 2025

3 out of 5 Some nice blues/jazz/soul oldies. Not too bad.

Infected by The The
Nov 05 2025

4 out of 5 Classic 80's album. So many good hits.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Nov 06 2025

2 out of 5 70 folk rock. Nice slow pace songe

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Nov 07 2025

4 out of 5 Great jazz and I cannot even really appreciate Jazz. Sounds awesome and made me want to move.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Nov 10 2025

5 out of 5 Enough said. Talking Heads.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 11 2025

5 out of 5

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 12 2025

0 out of 5 What the fuck was that?!? I have no words.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Nov 14 2025

2 out of 5 That was silly. But not terrible. Not quite sure how to describe this.

Debut by Björk
Nov 17 2025

2 out of 5 Ahh, Bjork. The 90s were Bjork. A few songs were ok, but the rest were really way out there.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Nov 18 2025

2 out of 5 Pretty slow.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Nov 20 2025

1 out of 5 Way too slow. Not good

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Nov 21 2025

3 out of 5 Mellow and chill. Not too bad for background music.

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 24 2025

1 out of 5 So slow and sad

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 25 2025

4 out of 5 Great singles, santana rocks

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Nov 26 2025

1 out of 5 Could not make it through this album. Weird instrumental

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Nov 27 2025

3 out of 5 Not too bad. She had such a great voice, deep and soulful. Some really good songs,

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 01 2025

4 out of 5 Surprisingly great. Deep soulful rock

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Dec 02 2025

2 out of 5 Not all that bad. Some songs were pretty good.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Dec 03 2025

4 out of 5 More Pixies. Great album.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Dec 05 2025

1 out of 5 Like Oasis but with no talent and much worse.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Dec 08 2025

2.5 out of 5 (if that is possible) I love Radiohead but some songs are too slow. Overall a good album.

Dec 10 2025

2 out of 5 A couple of really great song shows Courtney Love's talent, but the majority of the songs are just screeching and hard to listen to

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Dec 17 2025

3 out of 5 Smooth jazz. Not a genre I normally listen to, but I enjoyed this album. Very chill and relaxing.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Dec 18 2025

5 out of 5 Big George Clinton fan. This was amazing. Funk, rock and roll, soul. Amazing guitar solos.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Dec 19 2025

3 out of 5 Bringing back that 80s punk. Reminds me of the skateboard days

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Dec 22 2025

3 out of 5 Classic R&B

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Dec 23 2025

2 out of 5 These are the "we are young" guys. Mid-90s commercial punk very similar to Green Day. Felt kind of repetitive.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Dec 24 2025

4 out of 5 It is so unfortunate this pedo cousin-fucker made such great music. Upbeat, toe-tapping, put you in a good mood rock and roll. Terrible human being; amazing music.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Dec 30 2025

4 out of 5 Amazing hip-hop rap to bust out of the early 90s. Classic album. Would get 5 stars if it weren't for all the annoying dialogue,

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Dec 31 2025

5 out of 5 Cat fucking Stevens. So soulful and sad; cannot help but crying. This whole album rocks.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Jan 02 2026

2 out of 5 I really like a few Bob dylan songs but the majority are no for me.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 05 2026

5 out of 5 So many new Bruce songs that I never heard before. So soulful and sad; very western feel, which was perfect after just completing reading Buffalo Hunter Hunter.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Jan 07 2026

2 out of 5 Some songs were chill but got very repetitive after awhile. Not a big fan of this.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jan 08 2026

5 out of 5 1 hour and 20 minutes double Led Zeppelin album? And the one released 3 weeks after my birth on 2/24/75? I couldn't ask for more! Incredible album.

Vespertine by Björk
Jan 09 2026

1 out of 5 The second Bjork album? I liked this one less than the first. Too slow and just out there. Waaaaayyyyy out there.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jan 12 2026

3 out of 5 Much better! Classic Dylan; his 6th album in the 60s. Some great rock and roll with little soul and blues

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jan 13 2026

3 out of 5 Great music and energy

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 14 2026

2 out of 5 This was hard for me to rate a 2. I understand she is a legend but this music is not for me. I really tried. Man her voice is DEEP.

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 15 2026

5 out of 5 One of the all-time classic hip-hop albums of the 90s. This wasn't just in my Library, it was in my Downloaded Albums. Every song is a banger.

Risque by CHIC
Jan 16 2026

2 out of 5 GOOD TIMES! I don't think I have heard any other Chic songs. It was ok but not fast enough for me.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jan 20 2026

1 out of 5 I am not cultured or something because this was not for me. It is too bad because I understand he is the greatest but this music did not do it for me.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jan 21 2026

1 out of 5 Some songs weren't even too bad. I enjoyed it for a little while. But 1 star because this was 3 fucking albums. Holy hell I could not sit through 3.5 hours of this. Not cool.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Jan 22 2026

4 out of 5 Everybody had this album in their house as a kid. It was great; just Peter and his guitar, which he can make talk—enough said.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 23 2026

3 out of 5 Back in 1994, I would have definitely made fun of someone for listening to Jeff Buckley. I now understand it was wrong to make fun of someone for liking different music. I also now understand Jeff Buckley is pretty fucking good! Very chill and mellow, but a nice undertone of rock and roll. This was great as background music while working. I turned up the volume for a few songs. This was fun.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jan 26 2026

4 out of 5 Very cool, loved most of this. Some songs made you want to dance and others were much more serious.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jan 27 2026

2 out of 4 A couple of good songs, but I was not the biggest Wings fan. Sorry, SIr Paul.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jan 28 2026

3 out of 5 Not bad at all. Classic 90s sound; shocking that I have never ever heard of them. Pretty good jams.

The Coral by The Coral
Jan 29 2026

4 out of 5 This is going in my regular rotation. Great jams.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Jan 30 2026

2 out of 5 Better than I thought. I never listened to Simply Red in the 80s, but I am now liking some of their songs in this season of my life. Not too bad, but too long an album.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 02 2026

3 out of 5 Great classic rock album. Clapton!

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Feb 03 2026

2 out of 5 Couple of decent songs, rest were too folky for me

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Feb 04 2026

2 out of 5 There were so many funny covers and others that made you wanted to get up and dance around the big fire. But there were a lot and it got very repitive.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 05 2026

3 out of 5 Awesome album but not all songs were winners.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Feb 10 2026

2 out of 5 Not great. More of the same generic whiny boy-band sounds coming out of the 90s. Blah

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Feb 11 2026

3 out of 5 This was pretty good. And did not sound like most music coming out of the 70s. Good time rock and roll

Suicide by Suicide
Feb 12 2026

2 out of 5 A few songs were so-so. That Frankie's Teardrop was almost 10 minutes of painful electronic noise and I did not enjoy it one bit.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Feb 13 2026

1 out of 5 Terrible. The worst band of the 70s. Even disco was better.

Feb 16 2026

4 out of 5 I like the guys and this was a really good album. Excellent newish Alternative rock. EDIT: I did not realize this album is 19 years old! Jane's Addiction, the Cure, and 89X are old AltRock; this is newer. I am so old haha.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Feb 17 2026

4 out of 5 Classic Brit rock. Chrissie Hynde kicks ass.

Damaged by Black Flag
Mar 04 2026

3 out of 5 Great punk band and album. Kind of angry,

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Mar 05 2026

2 out of 5 Not a reflection of this album, but more of a preference. Not a country fan, but a couple songs were enjoyable.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 10 2026

5 out of 5 Also all bangers. Recorded in D-town! Soul at its finest.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 11 2026

10 out of 5 I would rate this higher if I could. Every CCR song and album kicks ass. The Dude agrees.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Mar 12 2026

2 out of 5 I was going to give it 1 star only because this genre is not for me. Too slow and emotional. But then a few songs sounded pretty good and reminded me of Hozier.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Mar 13 2026

2 out of 5 Noise rock is one way to put it. Too artsy fartsy.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mar 16 2026

3 out of 5 Much better than I expected. Some echoes of Dave Matthews.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Mar 17 2026

5 out of 5 One of the best albums of all times.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Mar 18 2026

1 out of 5 This is music you hear at a spa. Odd.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Mar 19 2026

2 out of 5 Some songs were actually ok. Rest were too soft rock for me.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Mar 20 2026

5 out of 5 Chris Cornell and one of the best Grunge albums out of the 90. Part of the core grunge along with nirvana, stp, and pearl jam.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Mar 25 2026

3 out of 5 Upbeat 70s funk. I knew their top hits, but enjoyed listening to some great b-side tracks as well. Overall too many songs so only 3 stars.
