The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Sep 24 2025

There is a reason I’ve never heard of this band. Maybe it was groundbreaking but it’s freaking weird.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Sep 25 2025

Omg why?!? I’m sure punk is good for some. But not me

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Sep 26 2025

Such a seminal album that hit the Chicago music scene in my era.

Sep 30 2025

Amazing for a 19y old

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Oct 03 2025

Solid - even the deep cuts were good for a listen

2112 by Rush
Oct 04 2025

Never did like Rush for some reason. Too much screaming instead of singing. Music is occasionally ok

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Oct 05 2025

Again the pixies not my thing but better than the other.

Oct 07 2025

Amazing. Yes there are problems with misogyny and violence, but it is an amazing album and really speaks to their time and experience and it’s just damn good music

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 13 2025

Such a familiar album - hard to view it as groundbreaking because I know it so well. Deep cuts are better than headlines

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

Meh. Maybe evocative of the 80s but not something I want to listen to much

Oct 18 2025

Simple. Groovy and meloncolic

There are so many problems with the lyrics, but the musicianship and wording is pretty amazing. Hate to support the guy, but it is an interesting album.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

The Slider by T. Rex

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Dec 21 2025

Abbey Road by Beatles
Feb 11 2026

Holds up. So familiar but all the songs are good.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
