Blur by Blur
Aug 24 2025

1997 brit alt rock. Wish I knew them when listening to the strokes back in the day. Post punk.

xx by The xx
Aug 25 2025

Melancholic duets that aren't my peanut butter. Bit of eerie synth and guitar. 2009 hipster music.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Aug 26 2025

Soulful, funkiful, sometimes a little sappy but with pretty great layering of all sorts of instruments, choir, and Stevie's hypnotic voice. So good! Should have listened to him when I was into George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic

Aug 27 2025

Revolutionary! Who'd a thought to sing about pop culture? Man on the moon lyrics are so unique. Everybody hurts is sad and comforting at the same time. There's definite juicy layers to this pop music.

Dookie by Green Day
Aug 28 2025

Volume @ max and scream out your problems! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO DAD!! Loaded with bangers, these are the songs of my generation. Love those base lines 🫶 those drums don't stop holy moley Love Greenday too. They brought punk to the masses and stayed true to real defiance of the fascists that be ✊️

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Aug 29 2025

This band is still playing shows?? Their first album was 1974 🤯that's wild. I would have had my mind blown listening to them in the 70s before electronic music was a thing. But it's 2025. Still dancable thou! Paging all therobots in particular. Spacelab I've heard in movies before.. iconic now

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

Tical by Method Man
Aug 31 2025

When i was 18 I worked at a club in Lethbridge called Suede. I was a busboy and I had no idea about Wutang clan at that point. One night we were hosting a show and the bouncer told me to watch the smoking door for a minute while he went to the washroom and check ppl for stamps. Sure, easy. This black guy comes back in from smoking and I'm like where's your stamp bro? He was all offended because I didn't want to let him in and didn't recognize him. Skinny little white boy blocking his way. Lucky the bouncer was back and waved him through. He told me this guy was a performer that night. And that night was the Method Man and Red Man concert. I still to this day don't know who I turned around, but it coulda been you method man. 3 stars, would have been more but maybe you needed humility 17 years ago.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Sep 01 2025

Beautiful music but slow and requies concentration

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Sep 02 2025

I'm too much of a pleeb to appreciate this fancy music.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Sep 03 2025

I particularly liked the knee-slappers, the slow songs maybe for a sad day. Likes to sing about people like him apparently. Wild and free.

Closer by Joy Division
Sep 04 2025

The frantic drums and chunky repetitive guitar add a sense of urgency and progression. But the monotonous singing and over all eerie atmosphere made this album unlistenable. I did get through it thou!

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Sep 05 2025

Iconic instrumental music that will always be replayed again and again. Blues and early rock for the history books.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Sep 06 2025

Good beats for work, aproved. Definitely has that 2000s NY sound like the strokes. And even NY you're letting me down sounds a little Broadway. Funny lyrics in North American Scum. Thanks for including Canada! Was it too edgy to make a song called American Scum??

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Sep 07 2025

Great mix of reggae, jazz and even hip hop. I really enjoyed listening to this album and will revisit.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Sep 08 2025

Willie is so soft and sweet. I could listen to this all day in a hammock.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Sep 10 2025

The impetus for a lot of bomb tracks in the electro dance world. Thanks UK!

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Sep 11 2025

Great marching music! Synthy pop that's pretty catchy. Nice voice behind the singing. Go West is iconic

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Sep 12 2025

Interesting look into the life of a gay man in America. Very personal and funny ballads. Surprisingly emotional. Synth alongside piano

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Sep 13 2025

Immigrant song and since I've been loving you are a couple of my favorite songs. Album was outstanding!

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Sep 14 2025

Some good bang tunes for you and your SO

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Sep 15 2025

80s post punk pop from Iceland. Bjork had a good voice, just not my type of music.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Sep 17 2025

CA has such control over her voice it is awesome. And you can hear the mix of so many genres behind that voice. I have mad respect for her. And way to prove the haters wrong and stand up to your bullies while being vulnerable!

Sep 18 2025

Raw and no bars held for any disgusting theme. R*pe, incest, murder, domestic violence.. were we ok? Poor Marshall Mathers.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Sep 20 2025
Vulnicura by Björk
Sep 22 2025

Odd and off-putting at times but deeply emotional and interesting music.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Sep 23 2025

Superb! I'm groovin in my seat 🤩 What a vocal range and much love ❤️ to the backup singers. Band keeps it tight and just right. Freaking love this album!

Smile by Brian Wilson
Sep 24 2025

Beach boys on acid. Sometimes cheerful and boisterous, sometimes sad and lamenting. Carnival sounds, and other interesting audio add ins like animal sounds.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 25 2025

My favorite band for a while in high school

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Sep 28 2025

Monotonous singing and ear-piercing harmonica. Subject of the songs was interesting but I feel like BD tried to stuff as many biblical/historical/literary references in along with folksy phrases. I guess it's just not cool anymore

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Oct 01 2025

This guy really tapped into his muse for this one. I hope melody got some royalties for her breathy voice-overs.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Oct 02 2025

Fever is a great song, striped down and quiet. Lots of good ol sappy rock tunes and of course that voice is iconic. Warm and Warbly

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Oct 03 2025

Interesting mix of rock and blues, always soft and light. Catchy hooks.

Fragile by Yes
Oct 07 2025

Roundabout is a masterpiece of music. There's no doubt. But prog rock really requires the right mood at times.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Oct 08 2025

Great rang of post punk rock from the UK. Great respect to skin for her fantastic voice and control. The band has great range and make some surprising songs blurring genres.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 10 2025

Really gets you in the mood for wonton violence. Nick Cave sometimes sounds like Shane McGowan of he sang of harming others instead of himself.
