Black Metal by Venom

"LAY DOWN YOUR SOUL TO THE GOD'S ROCK AND ROLL" 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line

1,479 monthly listeners... So, a bunch of '1001 albums' listeners, and The Icarus Lines' moms? Don't get me wrong. I'm 🎯here🎯 for the ahead of their time, misunderstood geniuses, and undiscovered gems, but sometimes the path less travelled, is lees travelled for a reason.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Oct 10 2025

Surreal experience. I hadn't listened to this album before, but I've listened to a lot of bands and artists who were clearly inspired by it

Aja by Steely Dan

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 29 2025

I wanna high-five the reviewer who described Dire Straits as "rizzless grateful dead" I really needed a chuckle after that supremely beige ordeal.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Oct 30 2025

"When I was small And Christmas trees were tall Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo" Doo-doo indeed. I'm declaring war on Spain.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet

1989 by Taylor Swift
Nov 03 2025

Not a Swifty, but I'd rather be a Swifty than one of her haters. Y'alls are weird.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Nov 05 2025

Got bored, so I pulled up her Wikipedia page... The flutes are not the worst thing here 🤮

Eagles by Eagles
Nov 17 2025

The aural equivalent of chugging a litre of beige paint. I can't even work up the energy to hate these dudes *fart noises*

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Nov 18 2025

WHO GAVE THIS MAN A HARMONICA

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Nov 20 2025

"It’s Not Going to Get Any Less Relevant, Is It?" Forty-four years after 'We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang' was released, LCD Soundsystem covered it, changing the lyrics “Reagan’s president elect – Fascist god in motion” to “The orange one is president – Fascist god in motion.” Being banned by the BBC is a badge of honour.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Nov 22 2025

I'm sorry, I didn't realise this project was "1001 Neil Young albums to listen to before you embrace the sweet kiss of death" My bad.

Kid A by Radiohead

Third by Portishead

Black Metal by Venom

S&M by Metallica
Dec 03 2025
Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Dec 12 2025

I LIKE (SOME) COUNTRY MUSIC! This was the most bland, formulaic, repetitive, pap that helps me understand why people hate it. If you want to hear some good contemporary country music try Laura Cantrell, Eilen Jewell, Jason Hawk Harris, Sarah Shook or Sturgill Stimpson

Ramones by Ramones

The perfect soundtrack for someone who finds white bread too spicy. Two of these greige platters, but no TOOL 😭😭😭

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jan 24 2026

"Nicest guy in rock" Yep, yep, we're on the worst timeline folks

Suede by Suede

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Feb 02 2026

Ugh. So Neil Young really likes this band. OK. There's no escaping this man whilst listening to this damn list. He's my fourth most played artist on my Spotify Wrapped this year, and I only listen to him, and his wretched Extended Universe™, because of this bastard project. Fuck you, Robert Dimery.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Mar 02 2026

This album has me thinking about the miracle of human life. Imagine carrying a precious lil' bebe in your belly for nine months, Nourishing and caring for them. And then they emerge from your womb sounding like Caleb fucking Followill. He then proceeds to use his nasty little vocal cords to sing about school girls in The Year of Our Lord 2004. I'm getting my tubes tied.

INJECT THIS DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS! "Now when I was a young boy At the age of five My mother said I wa'gon' be The greatest man alive But now I'm a man Way past twenty-one I wan't you to believe me, baby I had lot's of fun" How was this man doing ⚡this⚡ in his freaking sixties?

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Apr 29 2026

Oof, we've got an AOR, sophisti-pop, yacht rock platter on this docket today, boys. Truly the trivium of musical Kryptonite to this listeners ears. IT'S FINE.

-1 for having a song called "The Last Broadcast" and then subjecting me to two more tracks 🤮

Oof... pouring one out for the reviewers who were linked to the two hour version. The original version is forty-eight minutes, guys. https://open.spotify.com/album/4qUKzyXuy3GSzQD5RTJLdq

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things

Jesus Christ, the panning is giving me seasickness. Sir, SIR, step away from the sitar!

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Jun 12 2026

Oh, Boy. I used to listen to this album back in the day. In my defence... I THOUGHT IT WAS SATIRE! I assumed he was a comedian clowning on 'Muricans™. Sure, some of the jokes didn't hit, but the first half slapped. Imagine my surprise when I found out the dude was ugh """serious"""" 😅😅😅
