Popular Reviews

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company

A lot of fun, I love Janis Joplin's voice and how wild it can get. The cover art is frustrating because I love the pulpy comic book art style in itself but the couple of racist caricatures on it are 🤮

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure

Another solid entry from them even if I preferred the other two albums. The final few tracks were a strong finish my favorite was At Night

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar

That was excellent, very immersive. Gave me a few laughs early on (like the Eiffel Tower line) and some misty moments as the story progressed regarding topics like peer pressure and addiction escapism

Illmatic by Nas

Pretty good but not amazed. I liked The World Is Yours, Represent, and It Ain't Hard to Tell most. Can't not love there being an Iron Sheik name drop

1-Star Albums (2)

All Ratings (332)

Live At Leeds by The Who
Sep 25 2025

Enjoyable listen, not sure if I'll really be revisiting live albums but it captured the live energy well

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Sep 26 2025

Great listen, a lot of tasty funk, and I'm always a sucker for space-y themes like the UFO motif used here

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 27 2025

A great time, a solid groove throughout and a nice inclusive message, definitely captures the Woodstock zeitgeist

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 28 2025

I liked it. Nice and chill

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Sep 29 2025

Gorgeous listen, made me a bit misty at points

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Sep 30 2025

I liked the atmosphere, was harder for me to pay attention to the lyrics and did go a bit long for me

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Oct 01 2025

I love the mighty feeling I get from listening to Talk Talk, it had a lot of keepers

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Oct 02 2025

A very enjoyable psychedelic ride, though it was a bit of a letdown that besides the two super iconic tracks there weren't any others where Grace Slick was front and center

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Oct 03 2025

I knew about this group from the Birthday song but hadn't realized it was Bjork until now. Fun quirky little album

Oct 04 2025

Lots of lovely songs and a few bangers. A few hokey tracks admittedly, but it still didn't feel like it went on for too long even with the over-hour length

LP1 by FKA twigs
Oct 05 2025

Didn't really click with me

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 06 2025

It took me a little bit to adapt to the more slow and somber direction against their best known earlier hits but I really liked it

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Oct 07 2025

It's weird that I hadn't listened to her beyond her biggest hits before given her famed Ronettes love (and of Motown), right down my street embracing some of my biggest music loves while also doing her own thing

Oct 08 2025

Fun variety, I've realized over time that I find Queen consistently enjoyable but rarely find them mindblowingly amazing

Oct 09 2025

The sampling of a fundamentalist preacher railing against David Booie and Cyndi Looper amused, beyond that it didn't leave a major impression either way

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Oct 10 2025

First time listening to anything by Nick Drake. Folk singer-songwriter stuff tends to be something I appreciate more than truly enjoy, still a pleasant listen and could see it growing on me with time

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Oct 11 2025

Can't go wrong with Captain Lou Albano's buddy. I was familiar with like half the album already since most of her big hits are there, the album as a whole was more of that Lauper brand of quirky fun and left me in a good mood. I think I like She Bop the most

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Oct 12 2025

Hadn't heard of the group before. I liked the blunt message which alas is still spot on today. Probably wouldn't relisten often given it was an album where focus was super geared to the lyrics but I could appreciate what it was doing

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Oct 13 2025

First time listening to the group. Lovely, Sandy Denny had a gorgeous voice

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Oct 14 2025

I enjoyed it, maybe a bit long but it was neat how everything felt connected

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Oct 15 2025

The nuclear weapon theme was interesting on paper but the album itself bored me

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Oct 16 2025

My first Motown album in this exercise so I am delighted. Marvin Gaye's divorce album (plus an outer space sex jam for good measure), some heavy stuff lyrically and always tasty musically, excellent all around

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Oct 17 2025

Simple and pleasant, doesn't leave any major lasting impression but her voice and vibrato are nice

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Oct 18 2025

My first instance of listening to a second album by a band during this exercise, I quite liked it

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Oct 19 2025

Serviceable folky country that was fine in the moment but no real reason for me to revisit. I liked "Fly By Night" the most

OK Computer by Radiohead
Oct 20 2025

Three Radiohead albums in under a month of this exercise but the first listen of a super big one, rly enjoyed it

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Oct 21 2025

The name sounds somewhat familiar but never listened to him before. Legit really fascinating, ahead of a concert he was hungry, had a backache, and the only readily available piano was of poor quality. He still gave an hour's worth of improvisation that could work with the piano's limitations, to great applause. I love these "lemons into lemonade" stories so this definitely will stick with me

Yeezus by Kanye West
Oct 22 2025

I'll be listening to stuff by him as part of the exercise but not beyond, regardless of whether I enjoy the songs. I did enjoy the album, my 60s brain focuses on the surprise Brenda Lee

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Oct 24 2025

A second Marvin Gaye in the early throes of this exercise and I'm not complaining. All eight tracks are exquisite

The Doors by The Doors
Oct 25 2025

I knew the two big hits. A cool ride, loved the organ effect

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 26 2025

Fuck yes. Prince was cool as hell

The Specials by The Specials
Oct 28 2025

Not all that into reggae and adjacent genres though it had its moments, I really liked the Concrete Jungle track

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Oct 29 2025

Before listening I had I only known Games Without Frontiers (and had no idea til now Kate Bush was the backing vocalist on it). I quite liked the ominous feel it had

Protection by Massive Attack
Oct 30 2025

Enjoyed it, and I appreciate there being a track named Heat Miser

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 31 2025

Weird coincidence that this is my listen as there are multiple rain tracks and today was dreadfully rainy. Album was really good, loved the texture

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Nov 01 2025

Very good and a more intense sound than I was expecting

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Nov 02 2025

An interesting ambitious idea and had plenty of good songs, though the length didn't feel fully warranted

1977 by Ash
Nov 03 2025

Some catchy songs, fun if inessential

2112 by Rush
Nov 04 2025

So many of my friends adore Rush that I wish I enjoyed this more, it was good but didn't amaze me

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Nov 06 2025

I quite liked it and how the album phased from a calm oceanic mood to a harder sound

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Nov 07 2025

Nothing bad but mostly just background noise and not really worth the two hour+ length

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Nov 09 2025

I remember hearing a few of her songs on the Women of Rock Sirius channel, not sure if it was any of the songs here. I liked it, some of the lyrics definitely hit

Crazysexycool by TLC
Nov 10 2025

The full-fledged songs were nice and smooth and I particularly loved Creep. I could've done without the interludes, which were filler at best and mood killers at worst (the toilet one, eesh)

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Nov 11 2025

To the surprise of no one I've listened to it multiple times before, and one of the very few records on the list I own a vinyl of. Legendary

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 12 2025

Reggae is hit or miss for me but I really enjoyed this one, easy to see how Marley ended up THE reggae artist

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Nov 13 2025

It was alright, got some chuckles out of the references in the lyrics, though I sighed at the "I'm not misogynist BUT" song

Faust IV by Faust
Nov 14 2025

Enjoyably quirky, krautrock has been a neat genre so far

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Nov 15 2025

Had a bunch of bangers

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Nov 16 2025

I know them mainly for Love Plus One which is a song I quite like. The album as a whole was nice light fun

Marquee Moon by Television
Nov 17 2025

I knew the title track before. An excellent listen

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Nov 18 2025

Excellent Stones rawness. Saved every track bar the country variant of Honky Tonk Women

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Nov 19 2025

A bangin ride. Wasn't coming into this with high expectations given I'm not the craziest about the vocals on the biggest AC/DC hits but I ended up liking Bon Scott's vocals more

The Coral by The Coral
Nov 20 2025

Never heard of this band before. Okay sea shanty stuff, had some catchy moments

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Nov 21 2025

Didn't leave a major impression, don't think I'm a big house person

Pornography by The Cure
Nov 22 2025

Excellent bleak atmosphere

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Nov 23 2025

Funny coincidence is earlier today I listened to a doo-wop program that included the Penguins' Memories of El Monte, which was written by Frank Zappa. And there was a good bit of doo-wop here too. I enjoyed the album and its going from quirkier takes on conventional genres to full-on bizarrity

Station To Station by David Bowie
Nov 24 2025

That was a great listen. Liked all the tracks and it was a powerful note ending with Wild Is the Wind

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Nov 25 2025

The first track was a bit slow for me but loved the center

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 26 2025

Excellent, I only knew The Killing Moon before but I enjoyed the rest of the album to a similar degree, I liked Nocturnal Me the second most

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Nov 27 2025

I primarily know the Louvin Brothers for the Satan is real album cover but never listened to them before. I tend to like harmonies so didn't mind listening but wasn't enough for a full-on album

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 29 2025

I knew like half the songs already. Classic, hard to go wrong with Simon and Garfunkel. Only bit I didn't care for was the old people talking filler track

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 30 2025

I liked I'm Glad, didn't really click with me otherwise

All Directions by The Temptations
Dec 01 2025

Superb, I knew Papa Was a Rolling Stone which is a beast of a song and the rest of the album is solid as well

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Dec 04 2025

The start left me a bit cold, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 does the least for me of his big hits and the next couple songs didn't click but it kicked into gear from there and One of Us Must Know onward was a solid run

Arrival by ABBA
Dec 05 2025

I've listened to a few ABBA albums though this one was the first time. God I love ABBA, it left me in such a good mood

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 06 2025

Decent, saved like half the songs. And Without You's grown on me a lot, wild that it's right next to Coconut on the album

Raw Power by The Stooges
Dec 07 2025

Quick and rough, a lot of fun

Dec 08 2025

I preferred the previous Public Enemy album I listened to but still a decent listen. And I learned something new, I hadn't known Arizona pussyfooted on MLK Day for so long

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Dec 09 2025

I've heard some of the songs beforehand, a great voice and easy to see how he was also a preacher the way he delivered the songs

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Dec 10 2025

That was excellent, very immersive. Gave me a few laughs early on (like the Eiffel Tower line) and some misty moments as the story progressed regarding topics like peer pressure and addiction escapism

Dec 11 2025

I knew a few songs already like Violet and Doll Parts. Unsurprisingly a strong female rocker album was right down my street. I love the fury in Courtney Love's screaming and Violet in particular is incredible

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Dec 12 2025

My 1001 Albums Generator listen today was Paranoid by Black Sabbath. I knew Paranoid, and listened to War Pigs after Ozzy's death after my gf recommended me various songs of his. Hell yes this was awesome. Excitingly hard-hitting and more variety than I was expecting

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Dec 13 2025

I knew Tiny Dancer of course and have heard Levon before. I preferred the other Elton album in this exercise but still a decent listen, the title song was quite grand and definitely the highlight alongside TD

Solid Air by John Martyn
Dec 14 2025

Had its moments, I liked I'd Rather Be the Devil most

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Dec 15 2025

Awesome time full of bangers. Alongside the centerpiece Smoke on the Water I loved Highway Star and Space Truckin' most

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Dec 16 2025

Pretty good and I liked the genre experimentation, though it was a bit filler-y at points

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Dec 17 2025

A blast to listen to, the first half especially is fire but I enjoyed everything bar Girlfriend

Leftism by Leftfield
Dec 18 2025

Another house album I found fine to listen to but nothing that grabbed me

Doolittle by Pixies
Dec 20 2025

I knew some of the songs from 1st Wave like Here Comes Your Man and Monkey Gone to Heaven. A really exciting listen!

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Dec 21 2025

I knew the Mrs. Robinson cover. Breezy fun, fine in the moment

Spiderland by Slint
Dec 22 2025

Had some interesting moments, might have appreciated more if I had a more technical music mind but as stands it was a bit slow for me and didn't super click

London Calling by The Clash
Dec 23 2025

Oddly enough got this album on the anniversary of Joe Strummer's death. Knew the incredible title track and a few other songs. Had plenty of exciting songs, wasn't as keen on the reggae/ska bits which diluted the album somewhat even if I could respect the genre-blending, but I still found it very enjoyable on the whole

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Dec 24 2025

Lived up to the name, that felt very cool to listen to

Illmatic by Nas
Dec 25 2025

Pretty good but not amazed. I liked The World Is Yours, Represent, and It Ain't Hard to Tell most. Can't not love there being an Iron Sheik name drop

Dec 26 2025

I have listened to this every December since 2020, typically multiple times in the month. Absolutely love it, Spector's wall of sound work is pure ear candy. Best track is Christmas Baby Please Come Home, and it's also a cozy familiar feeling hearing the Be My Baby drumbeat on Frosty the Snowman. Only real downside is hearing Spector himself and his dorky ass voice at the end

Dec 27 2025

I knew Girlfriend in a Coma and I'm sure I've heard other songs on 1st Wave. Really liked the somber atmosphere

Pump by Aerosmith
Dec 28 2025

My first awareness of any song on this album was "Cheney's got a gun" jokes rip bozo. It's okay turn my mind off rock

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 29 2025

I knew Maps via a Women of Rock Sirius Xtra channel and might have heard another song or two via that channel. This was a lot of raucous fun to listen to

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 30 2025

A coincidence that I roll both listed Yeah Yeah Yeahs albums in a row. I knew Heads Will Roll which is great., and Dull Life was another standout. I like the previous YYYs album a bit more but still enjoyed this about the same level

GREY Area by Little Simz
Dec 31 2025

Pretty good, I liked Selfish the most

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Jan 01 2026

I liked it though preferred my other PG listen (3), the first three songs were a strong start, the song after that was kind of hokey but I liked most the others

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jan 02 2026

Woah the no more fan mail guy has a band. But yeah it surprises me I got 9% through the project before encountering anything Beatles. I knew most the songs already and a lot of good stuff

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jan 03 2026

Loving the textures on this. Nice blend of dreamy, rocking, and oddities. Sunday Morning is my favorite track simply gorgeous

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jan 05 2026

A lot of fun, I love Janis Joplin's voice and how wild it can get. The cover art is frustrating because I love the pulpy comic book art style in itself but the couple of racist caricatures on it are 🤮

Jan 06 2026

Weird I get an Oasis album a couple of days after a Blur album. It was alright, I don't think Britpop is really my genre

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 07 2026

Enjoyable, I liked Tokyo Storm Warning the most

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jan 08 2026

Recognized the band name but don't think I heard any of their songs, was a less aggressive sound than I was expecting given the band name. It was neat though, interesting distortions going on

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jan 09 2026

Hooker is the kind of artist I'd figure would be on this list but would've thought it would be a 50s album rather than 80s. Pretty cool at any rate

Queen II by Queen
Jan 10 2026

Very cool, I liked it more than the other Queen album I listened to in this project, prolly helps none of the massive hits were here so this felt fresh. I liked Ogre Battle best

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Jan 11 2026

One of the great 1st Wave stalwarts, though the songs here bar Souvenir were largely new to me. Enjoyed it a lot

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Jan 12 2026

Really dug this one, the combo of weird spacey noises and female vocals is right down my street

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 13 2026

I knew the title track before. I like that one, album's kinda dull otherwise

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jan 15 2026

Nothing integral but still pretty fun

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jan 16 2026

Never heard of the band before. I was expecting some dull acoustic album but it ended up being decently enjoyable. I liked Soft Wolf Tread most

Low-Life by New Order
Jan 17 2026

I knew the first few songs from 1st Wave. Superb, I loved every track (except maybe the final one but I still liked it). There definitely is something with New Order's sound that leaves me mesmerized

Jan 18 2026

Never heard of them. Had a lot of fun, checking the reviews the woopwoopwoop electric jug is polarizing but it's my kind of weird (I mean I think Zoidberg's the funniest thing)

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Jan 19 2026

I definitely regret how I saw her as a punchline back in the 2000s, she deserved better for sure. Not much here for me musically though, the first couple of songs are decently catchy but most of the rest is balladry that does little for me

Metallica by Metallica
Jan 20 2026

Pretty bangin'

Jan 21 2026

George Michael has some songs I really enjoy but tends to be hit or miss for me overall, unfortunately the case here. I liked the first couple songs and Soul Free but most of the rest was too slow

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jan 22 2026

Pretty cool, short and sweet listen (kind of surprised by the shortness as they strike me a longer album type of band)

Jan 23 2026

Really enjoyed it, a lot of tasty textures. Though I gotta admit there were points where I forgot I wasn't listening to Stevie Wonder

Jan 24 2026

Great time, a lot of fun. I liked Village Green most but it was consistent throughout. And can't not like there being a song about a kitty :3

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jan 25 2026

Very nice, flowed real smoothly and gave me quite a few chuckles

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Jan 26 2026

Fitting that one of the tracks is called "The Garden of Earthly Delights" because that painting is bizarre in a way that absolutely delights me. This album is the same way

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 27 2026

Very pleasant listen

Calenture by The Triffids
Jan 29 2026

I liked the first couple songs but the album became a blur for the most part

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Jan 30 2026

Rod Stewart doesn't really click with me, kinda dull

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jan 31 2026

Already listened to it a couple of times and own the vinyl. Exquisite beauty

Arise by Sepultura
Feb 01 2026

Could enjoy the music itself but death metal vocals are too abrasive for me

Country Life by Roxy Music
Feb 02 2026

That was pretty cool

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Feb 03 2026

I started listening fairly late and it's over an hour so I thought I'd have to split my listen between tonight and tomorrow, but it really drew me in, smooth and enriching

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Feb 04 2026

Had some interesting lyrics like the reference to Rousseau, ultimately an album I appreciated more than fully enjoyed

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Feb 05 2026

Another forgettable Britpop album

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Feb 06 2026

Serviceable Elvis that grew on me as the album progressed; "Such a Night" was the anchor. Amused to see "The Girl of My Best Friend" on here, as I knew it best as a hit for Ral Donner... who was an Elvis soundalike.

Feb 07 2026

Banging, along with most iconic "Killer Queen" I also particularly loved "Stone Cold Crazy"

Dookie by Green Day
Feb 08 2026

Fun in the moment, didn't truly resonate

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Feb 09 2026

One of the albums I own on vinyl as I came across it in a $1 bin, and an absolute banger like Kicks for a dollar is a steal. The other songs are fun but nowhere near Kicks' caliber

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Feb 10 2026

Hell fucking yeah that was really cool

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Feb 11 2026

Don't think I'm a Van Morrison person. Only track I liked was The Way Young Lovers Do, the rest bored me

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 12 2026

One I have the vinyl of. Lovely listen. King is one of the rare singer-songwriters to really click with me, helps that she was an absolute giant of the Brill Building and you can still feel that here. Also kitty :3

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Feb 13 2026

The I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night) guys. That song is incredible. The other psychedelic songs are pretty good as well though not so keen on the ragtime

Nevermind by Nirvana
Feb 14 2026

Knew the big hits (so like a third of the album), hell yeah that was awesome

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Feb 15 2026

Pretty forgettable

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Feb 16 2026

Enjoyable "turn my mind off" music

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Feb 17 2026

Enjoyed more than I was expecting. Opens up with Message in a Bottle which is my favorite Police song so that doesn't hurt. Still find Sting's vocals hokey but the musicianship otherwise is solid

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Feb 18 2026

A bit samey, doesn't leave a major impression either way

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Feb 19 2026

Interesting idea and I liked how her voice floated, didn't truly grab me though

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Feb 21 2026

Hella awesome, Spellbound is an exciting start and I love the dark textures throughout

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Feb 22 2026

Was expecting an odd future-y album based off the title and cover and was not disappointed, I really liked it

White Light by Gene Clark
Feb 23 2026

Pleasant enough but not anything I'd revisit

Feb 25 2026

Pretty cool, I liked Da Mystery of Chessboxin' most. I'm liking all these pop culture references often packed into rap lyrics, got laughs from Cousteau and Family Feud references

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 26 2026

Loved it and how intense it got

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Feb 27 2026

Fun but went on a bit too long

#1 Record by Big Star
Mar 01 2026

That was a pretty listen

Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 02 2026

The eponymous track is one of the songs I've known for the longest given I remember elementary school taught it; these days one of those polarizing songs I personally don't feel strongly about either way. The album itself was nice

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Mar 03 2026

I knew most of the album without actually properly listening to it before, so many iconic tracks. Classic, I like Beat It most though I enjoy it all bar The Girl is Mine

Disintegration by The Cure
Mar 05 2026

Had a bit more familiar territory than the last Cure album I heard (Pictures of You and Lovesong were there) and was just as excellent. They really have that dark mood down pat

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Mar 06 2026

It was alright, the AF albums I've heard are enjoyable in the moment but don't give me a major lasting impression

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Mar 08 2026

Very good, definitely got intense. I liked Famous Blue Raincoat most

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Mar 09 2026

A nice listen, I really liked some of the references made like to the Magrittes, several doo-wop greats, and Johnny Ace (definitely an underrated "what if" among young musician deaths).

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Mar 10 2026

Had some good hard hitters but didn't grab me as much as I was hoping

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Mar 11 2026

Of the "knew them from one hit in the late 60s" albums I've heard I like this one the best so far, a bit samey but the rowdy noisiness makes a fun romp. I liked the closing track most

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Mar 12 2026

Never heard of the group before. A LOT of brief songs, many only up to a minute in length, which makes it hard for the songs to really sink in for me

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Mar 13 2026

First I've heard of this group. Pleasant enough background music

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Mar 14 2026

Another solid entry from them even if I preferred the other two albums. The final few tracks were a strong finish my favorite was At Night

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Mar 15 2026

Pleasant listen. I was clapping along at the end. Nothing to do with the album, but Shaka Zulu the person always makes me think of when a Jeopardy contestant said "Who is Chaka Khan?" to a clue about him

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Mar 18 2026

Noise that was fine but I largely turned my mind off for

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Mar 19 2026

Always loved the title track, definitely an anthem if you hated school. The rest of the album was new to me and was good fun, more varied than I was expecting

Mar 20 2026

Pretty good, oftentimes Chicago is too sappy for me but their early era has a lot more pizzazz

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Mar 21 2026

Solid stuff, one that grew on me as it progressed

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Mar 22 2026

Their harmonies are always a really pleasant listen

Pretenders by Pretenders
Mar 23 2026

I knew around half the songs already as they're one of the 1st Wave stalwarts and they've def grown on me over that course. Great stuff, punchy and consistent. One of those groups that benefited from me hearing a wider range of their songs since Brass in Pocket is the big hit and it's still decent but doesn't grab me as much as most of the other songs

1999 by Prince
Mar 24 2026

Coincidentally I watched the Animaniacs episode with the "finger Prince" gag today. Anyways, another instance of Prince being super fuckin cool

Timeless by Goldie
Mar 26 2026

It was okay, I liked that it used dolphin noises in the Sea of Tears track

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 28 2026

Oh that ruled. Loved the textures

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Mar 29 2026

Another case of a folky country album where I found it a pleasant listen and liked her voice but there isn't a major impression beyond that

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Mar 30 2026

Really gelled with this and how chilling it got

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Mar 31 2026

Can't go wrong with Willie, he is a natural storyteller

Apr 02 2026

Robbins is at his best telling old Western tales, and love the bleak atmosphere with all the death endings

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Apr 03 2026

Aww yeah. That went down smoothly

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Apr 04 2026

That was cool

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Apr 05 2026

Nothing here really grabbed me

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Apr 06 2026

Fascinating listen, I dig it. Malian desert blues is the kind of style I never heard of that puts into perspective how horizon expanding this project can be

Odelay by Beck
Apr 07 2026

Pretty good, I liked how noisy it got

Document by R.E.M.
Apr 08 2026

Great stuff, obligatory LEONARD BERNSTEIN

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Apr 09 2026

First I've heard of this band. Really liked it, quite dreamy

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Apr 10 2026

Decent though it's a bit meander-y for me

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Apr 11 2026

I enjoyed it, hard-hitting ball of rage. It's interesting listening to LP with an open ear given for a long time I disregarded them as the angst meme/AMV group, it's particularly surreal listening to Crawling on its own

Apr 12 2026

The album and band name couldn't help but remind me of that recent death hoax over the world's oldest tortoise. The album itself was alright, I liked Along the Banks of Rivers most

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Apr 14 2026

Opens with a couple of classics, loved the ending track too, an enjoyable ride throughout

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Apr 18 2026

That was a nice listen. Incidentally the singing style is slow and clear enough that it was a nice exercise in seeing how much of the Spanish I recognized

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 19 2026

Real cool and fascinating

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Apr 20 2026

Enjoyed it more than I expected, though it plodded on for too long

The Clash by The Clash
Apr 21 2026

Quick and very fun listen

Kid A by Radiohead
Apr 24 2026

A great sombre atmosphere

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Apr 25 2026

Not something I'd seek out but it was pleasant

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Apr 27 2026

Not overly my thing but I do like the steel guitar throughout

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Apr 28 2026

That was interesting, I liked the state theme. My favorite track was "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhhh!"

Infected by The The
May 01 2026

Quite good, I liked the bleakness of it all

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
May 03 2026

That was real cool

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
May 04 2026

It was cool, not a huge impression beyond that

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
May 05 2026

The legendary "Art Garfunkel with a big mustache" cover. Album is full of classics. I forgot how stunning The Only Living Boy in New York is

The Score by Fugees
May 06 2026

That was real cool. And kudos for sampling I Only Have Eyes For You by the Flamingos

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
May 08 2026

Decent

Achtung Baby by U2
May 10 2026

Pretty much like U2 as a whole for me where I didn't mind listening to it but also not anything I'd seek out

Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 15 2026

Loved it, Joplin's craggy force of a voice always is a treat

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
May 16 2026

Cool and classy listen. Count Basie always makes me think of a theatre named after him I've gone to a few times now

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 17 2026

Solid, definitely strikes a sombre tone very effectively

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
May 18 2026

Pretty powerful and the trans themes obviously resonated

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
May 19 2026

That was cool, I dig the electric

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 20 2026

The title track is a classic, most the rest is instrumental covers of other 60s songs which don't feel essential but still go down smooth

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 21 2026

That was an exciting ride

Headquarters by The Monkees
May 22 2026

Charming, but I prefer their early artificial material

May 23 2026

Loved it. Redding's mighty voice and those horns are a combo for the ages, most of the album is covers but the way he interprets them makes it still feel exciting

Rio by Duran Duran
May 24 2026

Yeah that was a classic, enjoyed it throughout

Destroyer by KISS
May 25 2026

Good mindless fun. Shout out to my KISS-loving gf

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
May 26 2026

Unsurprisingly, I have listened to this before and own the vinyl. Thanks Rugrats Vacation episode for permanently changing my brain to love the Go-Go's. Love it throughout, so much energy, as iconic as the two big hits are ("there's a weapon that we must use in our defense, silence" goes so hard as a lyric) my very favorite is Tonite

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
May 27 2026

Byrd harmonies and psychedelia are a splendid combo, Eight Miles High is the obvious standout

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
May 28 2026

Good stuff, I liked the center tracks (Life During Wartime-Memories Can't Wait-Air) best

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
May 29 2026

It was fine, I liked Family Tree most

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 30 2026

I found out after the fact that the UK and US releases have some differences in songs, I had listened to the US one. The openers on both (Paint It Black US, Mother's Little Helper UK) are my fav Stones songs and the rest was good stuff too

Truth by Jeff Beck
May 31 2026

Pretty good

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jun 02 2026

Lots of exquisite, gorgeous tracks, the Wall of Sound wins me again. The jams at the end feel more like unneeded padding though

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jun 05 2026

Absolutely loved the bleak textures on this one

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 06 2026

I've listened to this one before as with the other classic Beach Boys albums. Very pretty

Jun 07 2026

I've been hitting a good streak lately, Poison Arrow/Look of Love are both classics and I had a similar degree of fun throughout the rest of the album

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 08 2026

Decent overall, plenty of dated bits for sure but some moments crack me up like GO GO GADGET DICK. Loses points for a guinea pig death lyric 😠

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 09 2026

I knew a third of the album already, lots of 70s radio staples. CCR are one of those bands I pretty consistently enjoy without truly loving

The White Album by Beatles
Jun 11 2026

Great stuff, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is my favorite

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Jun 12 2026

Ooh I loved that. Very pretty and like floating in space

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jun 14 2026

Interesting dark ambience

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 15 2026

I should dive deeper into Sonic Youth, really liked both albums I've heard of them so far

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jun 16 2026

Fantastic, very classy

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jun 17 2026

Quite good, slower than I was expecting. Didn't realize the Bowie China Girl wasn't the original

Slayed? by Slade
Jun 18 2026

Quik fun. I like that there wuz a cover of Let the Good Times Roll, luv that song

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jun 20 2026

Twas alright, went on too long for me

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jun 21 2026

An album from Senegal is interesting. It was okay, didn't click at first but it grew on me somewhat throughout the listen. I liked Hamady Boiro best

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jun 22 2026

I had fun, was hoping there'd be more of a horror theme though

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jun 23 2026

SAME AS IT EVER WAS Yeah that was excellent, of the tracks new to me I liked The Great Curve most

Stankonia by OutKast
Jun 25 2026

I enjoyed it plenty, B.O.B was my favorite

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 27 2026

I've now heard every Arcade Fire album on this list and I liked this one most. I saved Neighborhood #3, Crown of Love, and Wake Up

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jun 28 2026

I really enjoyed the darker tones it had

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jun 29 2026

Funny that I listen to the Chemical Brothers a day after watching Sonic 3, which uses them in their soundtrack. I enjoyed it

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jul 04 2026

Even though Snoop jokes (prior to his recent chuddery) had been a regular part of my sense of humor, I hadn't given him a proper listen before now, and I really enjoyed it

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 05 2026

Simply majestic

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Jul 06 2026

All together now, JAAAAAMES BROOOOOWNNNNN. Was hoping for more of the quirky allure of Genius of Love and I got just that, Lorelei was my favorite unfamiliar track

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Jul 07 2026

Fuck yeah, that ruled. And a reference to the McGoohan Prisoner was a pleasant surprise

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Jul 08 2026

Very smooth, I approve

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jul 09 2026

It was fun. And one song had Isabelle in the title :3

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 10 2026

Tracks named Monkeys and Crocodiles next to each other, Echo and the Bunnymen predicted Donkey Kong Country. Album itself was real cool, Villiers Terrace was my favorite

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jul 11 2026

Pretty good, I liked New Dawn Fades best

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jul 13 2026

One of those artists I knew the name of but had no idea of her music's style. It wasn't super my thing but was nice, I liked Join the Boys best

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jul 14 2026

Another good outing by them, I liked Barbarism Begins at Home the best

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jul 15 2026

I can dig it, very cool and smooth

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jul 19 2026

All the Alanis songs I knew were packed into this album, so like half of it. Loved it, my favorite song I didn't know before was Forgiven

Jul 20 2026

Didn't know of the group before. I really enjoyed how noisy and weird it was

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jul 21 2026

I liked that, the flute added a nice sense of whimsy

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Jul 22 2026

Grew on me as I listened and soaked in the melancholy. Albuquerque was my favorite and the steel guitar throughout the album definitely bolstered the quality

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jul 23 2026

Lovely, a nice mixture of sunny and tender. Charles Colman's laughter is bizarre though, a relief he's only on one song

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jul 24 2026

I knew like half the songs but Willie's versions are all new to me. Warm and tender with wisps of melancholy, that's the good stuff

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jul 28 2026

That was awesome, I liked Phantom of the Opera best

Jul 29 2026

Had a good message; musically was pleasant but a bit repetitive. I liked Sorry Ain't Enough best

Street Life by The Crusaders
Jul 30 2026

I like city nighttime type music so I liked this

Electric by The Cult
Jul 31 2026

Good mindless fun, I liked Love Removal Machine best

Aug 01 2026

When I saw the year I knew it was gonna be the one with Hurt. Powerful stuff, you can tell he's near the end from the weariness in his voice. Interesting variety to the covers, I was surprised that there was a Johnny Cash Personal Jesus and he makes it work

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Aug 02 2026

Quite good, I liked Waiting for the Sun best

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Aug 03 2026

It had its moments, We Will Not Be Lovers was stellar

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Aug 04 2026

I thought the album cover looked cool and wasn't let down, album itself was exciting and loved the variety. Fav tracks were Dance or Die, Faster, and Come Alive (War of the Roses)

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Aug 05 2026

More or less what I had in mind of a Indian music album, pleasantly relaxing

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Aug 06 2026

Loved it, my favorite track was Pleasant Street

New Wave by The Auteurs
Aug 09 2026

My first hearing of this band. Didn't leave much of an impression. My favorite track was Don't Trust the Stars

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Aug 10 2026

I preferred the earlier Dylan albums I've heard but still like it. Favorite track was Tryin' to Get to Heaven

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Aug 12 2026

A quick and wild ride, very fun. I liked Psycho best

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Aug 13 2026

Wasn't super memorable. I liked 13 Steps Lead Down most

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Aug 14 2026

Lemmy is cool, outer space is cool, so this was a great time

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Aug 15 2026

I knew Criminal before. Quite good, I liked Slow Like Honey a lot

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Aug 16 2026

It was fine, I liked the layered vocals in some of the tracks. Favorite song was Juxtapozed with U

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Aug 18 2026

Well over a decade ago I edited Pee Wee Herman with the bike onto this album cover, at the request of a friend. Over-the-top Wall of Sound extravagance, a beautiful thing. I like the intense songs more than the ballads but enjoy the whole ride

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Aug 20 2026

Pretty, I liked Car on a Hill best

25 by Adele
Aug 22 2026

Classy
