The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Aug 12 2025

Beeps, boops, synths, somehow both before and ahead of it’s time.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Aug 13 2025

Nihilism, numbness, and Beach Boys. Wall’s good.

Aja by Steely Dan
Aug 14 2025

Sonically impressive and captivating, but not my jam.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Aug 15 2025

A-side was a jam-and-a-half, was a whole vibe. B-side left me less enthusiastic.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Aug 18 2025

Not really for me. Black Hole Sun will always be great, but all of the other songs just sound the same to me.

Queen II by Queen
Aug 19 2025

Have never actually listened to Queen’s catalog other than the hits. This was fun, different sound than I expected. You can hear where their sound went, mixed with like… I don’t know, Zeppelin influence? That’s probably a naïve take, but it was new to me. Neat stuff.

Aug 20 2025

Had to do research to understand why this was included, which doesn’t feel like a great sign to me. Maybe just having a hard time appreciating the historical significance.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Aug 21 2025

Just a fun album. Good sounds. You can see why the Beatles liked him.

Vulnicura by Björk
Aug 22 2025

I didn’t mind the backing tracks. But this was a hard listen.

Aug 25 2025

This was the only CD I had in my car for a year during high school. Great memories of this album. Top 50 for me, probably.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Aug 26 2025

Solid vibes. I don’t think I see myself listening to this all the time, but I’d definitely put it on the speakers while cleaning or doing something around the house

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Aug 28 2025

Fun when you realize certain hits all come from the same albums. Enjoyed this more than I thought I would

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Sep 01 2025

Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. Thought I’d like it a bit more than I did

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Sep 04 2025

This feels like one of those albums that probably spoke to something in the youths pretty well at the time, but just didn’t age out of the time well. The music itself is whatever and the lyrics are a bit too specifically “I’m in my early 20s in the 1970s, and this is my life”

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 05 2025

No strong feelings. Not bad, not my fav

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Sep 08 2025

This one feels hard to rate. The opening and closing tracks are two of the best songs of all time. But everything in between is way too country bluesy for me. I just don’t like that kind of sound.

#1 Record by Big Star
Sep 10 2025

This was kind of a fun little gem! New to me, though I was familiar with a few of the songs. Dig.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Sep 16 2025

Classics

Abbey Road by Beatles
Sep 25 2025

One of the greatest of all time.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Nov 03 2025
