Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Aug 24 2025

Not my jam. Horns and some version of early auto tuning by combined singing but slightly out of tune. Good melodies.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Aug 25 2025

Next level rhythm and rhymes. This feels like a first album that is coming out of the gates to get some attention. Speaking of very personal experiences, hard ones. The topics are shocking, intentionally, hitting the mark of schock but also feeling like a gimmick.the audio overlays of speaking distract from the music.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Aug 26 2025

I love David Bowie, but this album didn't feel as great as ziggy stardust.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Aug 27 2025

Didn't love this but totally get how groundbreaking this music is.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Aug 28 2025

Again, didn’t love this album but I recognize it is great music. Innovative and unique. It has the calm playfulness I’m familiar with in Simon and Garfunkel with bits of spoken word sprinkled in.

Aug 29 2025

Best album I've heard in the past week. Favoriting this one for later. Great rhythm, solid narrative without being to much in a direction of explicit or silly, and great individual songs. I can get lost in this album.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Aug 30 2025

Again, didn’t love this album but I recognize it is great music. Innovative and unique. It has the calm playfulness I’m familiar with in Simon and Garfunkel with bits of spoken word sprinkled in.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Aug 31 2025

Difficult to listen to.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Sep 01 2025

At times I felt I was in church listening to a worship song, then in a dark smokey jazz club, then later in someone’s home listening to them express their love to the silence in night. Deep, moving, soft, lyrical, and soothing for my soul.

Be by Common
Sep 02 2025

Good rhythm and rhymes but didn't hook me in.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Sep 04 2025

Disorganized, dissonant, but somewhat inspired.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Sep 06 2025

Nope. Hate it.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Sep 07 2025

Umm.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Sep 08 2025

Guitar is the highlight in this album.

Smash by The Offspring
Sep 09 2025

ok. not great.

Pump by Aerosmith
Sep 11 2025

I can't get into Aerosmith. Good songs but intentionally cool and without soul.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Sep 12 2025

Beautiful, fun, and easy. Silly at times while setting the scene, a scene both jolly and solemn.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Sep 13 2025

Better. Not great.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Sep 14 2025

Chill. Meditative.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Sep 15 2025

Ok, got it.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Sep 16 2025

Somewhat interesting. Not what I'd expect for a group called The Zombies.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Sep 17 2025

Legit hate it. Noisy. Loud. And largely uninspired. Layers of instruments and sounds tripping over each other.

Aja by Steely Dan
Sep 18 2025

The high production standards mentioned in the wiki article are noticeable. The music. . . Is not my style.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Sep 20 2025

Unique sounds. I would have expected to dislike the music as a popular English rock band but there is soul. A unique voice that isn’t trying to be something but is authentic about who they are.

Night Life by Ray Price
Sep 24 2025

Feel good songs from an era distant enough that I can both relate to the experiences and the experiences remain foreign.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Sep 25 2025

This is chill and echoes of Aimee Mann.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 26 2025

Rough around the edges but cool approach.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Sep 27 2025

Find.

Third by Soft Machine
Sep 29 2025

Love it.

John Prine by John Prine
Oct 02 2025

ok. 4/5 for the quirky uniqueness.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Oct 03 2025

Surprisingly good. 4/5. Would not save for a playlist though. Okay. Listening further and I am following Louis Prima on Spotify. I didn’t expect to like this so much. Still 4/5. But it wasn’t gimmicky at all like the opening song. Fun, stylish, rhythmic.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Oct 04 2025

4/5. great soul.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Oct 05 2025

Couldn’t finish it. 1/5.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Oct 07 2025

Best beach boys album I've listened to.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Oct 12 2025

Randy Newman is great.

Medúlla by Björk
Oct 16 2025

Pretty good.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Oct 20 2025

Ok.

2112 by Rush
Oct 21 2025

Great.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Oct 22 2025

I liked this one, but it felt like it was straddling a jam band and chill rock.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Oct 25 2025

I thought I'd dislike this but was pleasantly surprised. Less produced and rougher arond the edges makes me feel more connected to the music. And feels authentic. 4/5.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Oct 26 2025

Fun and weird but I couldn’t finish.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Oct 27 2025

okayish.

Boston by Boston
Oct 28 2025

Wonderful story on the creation of this album.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Nov 02 2025

Liking this one.

Cross by Justice
Nov 05 2025

Grinds my ears. Revs up. Slows to a crawl.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Nov 06 2025

Fun but not fun. 2/5.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Nov 09 2025

I could skip this.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Nov 16 2025

Wasted time. 1/5.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Nov 20 2025
Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 21 2025
