Oct 16 2025

Morissey sounds pretty flat, as always. Great album filled with the usual The Smiths depression, hopelessness and dark humour.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Oct 17 2025

Amazing voice. The vocal runs induce goosebumps. Decent album, some amazing songs, a few good ones and some fillers. Definetly earned its place on the list.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 19 2025

This album sounded great as a 19-year old, but with each passing year it seems to lose its shine. Love the bass slapping and funky sounds, but it just feels a bit boring. Scar tissue is still a beautiful song.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Oct 20 2025

Interesting album, tin whistles, irish folk and some punk rock. Good album if you enjoy songs about grief and sorrow, and the common folk.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Oct 21 2025

Quite boring. Not my cup of tea. Album sounds a bit like a collection of lullabies. Very soothing

Oct 22 2025

One of the albums ever. Too minimalistic for my taste, decent background noise for working. In my opinion this album does not deserve its place on the list, but I might be missing some backstory.

Being There by Wilco
Oct 23 2025

Never heard of the artist before, but its a good album. Very pleasant sound, with influences from many different artists and sounds. If this album is only the 3rd best album by Wilco, I'm very excited for the other 2!!

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Oct 24 2025

A few good songs, but all in all not that good of an album. I can see its meaning to British rap & grime, but the songs didn't really make me feel anything.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Oct 25 2025

Great album!! Love the sound. Having listened to later SD's albums, this one has more of a soft rock sound, and less jazz vibes. Very pleasant album to listen to. Only a fool would say that has to be my favourite from this album.

Vulnicura by Björk
Oct 26 2025

A very very odd album. It does seem very personal, and Björk does really seem heartbroken. Not a terrible album, but maybe its just a bit too artsy for my taste. Did not really enjoy the album, but it was an interesting listem.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 27 2025

Excellent album. Bob Marleys voice is really soothing, and the album makes it feel like everything is good in the world for a while. Many fond memories associated with this album.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Oct 28 2025

I have never liked Dylans raspy voice, but the lyricism on this album make up for it. Every song feels like its own, well written little story, full of yearning. I've never listened to a full Dylan album before, but I definetly will be giving his discography more attention after this listen. Easy 3, close to a 4

Murmur by R.E.M.
Oct 29 2025

Enjoyed the album. A smooth sound, and its very interesting to hear the similarities to more modern indie rock albums. None of the songs really stood out, but overall a good listen

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Oct 30 2025

I really like Zep, and while Physical Graffiti is not their best album, its still a great album. Really enjoyed the funky Trampled under foot, and ten years gone is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs. Really like the mix of different genres, but the album feels a bit long.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Oct 31 2025

Angelo Badalamenti vibes. Weird album to be included in this list. I don't find much to say about it. Not bad, not great, quite atmospheric but I cannot find a reason why I'd have to hear this album before i die.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Nov 01 2025

Beautiful album, definetly earned its place on the list. Some of the songs feel even too cluttered with the "wall of sound" style. I do like the harmonies though. Some of the songs sound christmassy - propably because of the flutes, tambourines and chimes. I was wondering why Sloop John B sounds so familiar, but found out it's used as football chant!

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Nov 02 2025

Not what I expected based on the album and band name. Very smooth and chill album, good for relaxing. Beautiful voice.

Low by David Bowie
Nov 04 2025

Very experimental album. Not a big fan of half the songs being instrumentals. Sound and vision is a great song, I really like the repetitive, stuck instrumentals a lot of the songs have. Bowie never fails to be cool, love the otherworldy sounds and themes of Low.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Nov 05 2025

Guitar playing seems to be carrying this album. Down by the river has amazing guitar riffs, and is a really good song. Overall the album is decent, it has aged really well, and is hard to imagine it being from the 60's.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Nov 06 2025

Can't stand the throaty voice of Waits. Definetly unique album, but not for me.

Marquee Moon by Television
Nov 07 2025

Suprisingly good album, will have to give it a re-listen later.

Heroes by David Bowie
Nov 11 2025

I like Bowie, but this album is definetly disapointing. One song can not carry the whole album.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Nov 12 2025

A strong 3, a very good album. An interesting collab, tho is does just sound like an extension of arctic monkeys.

Suicide by Suicide
Nov 13 2025

What a weird album. I do like the sound, its very unique, but still somehow falls flat.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Nov 14 2025

Nice and calm album, Me and Julio is definetly the best song, no other standout songs.

Nov 16 2025

I cannot handle another full album of ballads without a single drum snare. Not my kind of music, couldn't think of a situation where one would listen to an album like this.

So by Peter Gabriel
