Aug 14 2025

21st Century Schizoid Man amd the Court of the Crimson King are fantastic, and early high water marks for prog. The tracks in between are doing some interesting experimentation, but not interesting enough to elevate the album.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Aug 15 2025

Great songs without any wasted space from start to finish. A benchmark for what a great album should be.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Aug 18 2025

In my opinion the worst pre-Rubber Soul album for the beatles. Young, immature song writing and uninspired covers make for a 30 minute LP that feels like an hour. I'm genuinely surprised this is on the list. Considering this didn't release in the US or Canada, it's hard to attribute the cultural phenomenon of Beatlemania to it even. A great example of what the floor is for The Beatles.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Aug 19 2025

Incredible album, all the good parts of grunge on full display. If they had cut the last two tracks it would have been a 5 star.

25 by Adele
Aug 21 2025

Excellent production, great vocals, amd safe uninspired song writing.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 26 2025

A good album with a couple standout tracks

Aug 27 2025

A flagpole for mid-90s techno/hard-core. Does an excellent job of capturing a moment in politically charged times in the UK, delivers high level technique and execution, and most importantly makes you want to dance.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Aug 29 2025

It's ok, I guess

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 01 2025

The perfect balance of rock and blues

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Sep 05 2025

A good studio style album. Fun psychedelic San Francisco rock with fantasy elements and a couple tracks hinting at southern rock.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Sep 08 2025

A very successful boogie rock album, and for good reason. From the first track you're hit with a great jam that seamlessly transitions into the second track, a great mastering decision. Lots of fun blues and southern tracks throughout, and La Grange speaks for itself.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Sep 25 2025

If you don't like Johnny Rotten, you don't like bad music.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Oct 03 2025

Euro club elevator music

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
