Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Nov 04 2025

I like this one a lot. A lot of instrumental content that's good for background, but quality.

Tapestry by Carole King
Nov 05 2025

This is an absolute classic. Not my style, but I can appreciate it.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Nov 07 2025

There are some very good tracks on here. I probably won't go back to it, but it's a good album.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Nov 10 2025

Just not my style of music, but I can rate it well because musically it's excellent. Pet Sounds is a good instrumental I hadn't heard before.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Nov 11 2025

He was a groundbreaker, but the musical style just isn't my bag for the most part.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Nov 13 2025

Nah, didn't really care for it. The main single was catchy for the first couple of minutes, but it is way too long.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Nov 14 2025

I already was not a Motorhead fan.

Low-Life by New Order
Nov 17 2025

I was expecting to like this one, but I must be thinking of Substance. The lead singer is off pitch a lot and his voice just isn't very good here.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Nov 18 2025

I already have and enjoy this album.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 19 2025

He's a great musician, but I personally don't prefer his voice. Still a good one, though.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Nov 20 2025

I didn’t get to listen to it

Faith by George Michael
Nov 26 2025
Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Nov 27 2025

I like Smash It Up Part 1, and I Just Can't Be Happy Today. I'm not a big punk rock fan, so some of the tracks don't sound good to me. They seem very talented.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Dec 02 2025

Did not care for her voice at all

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Dec 03 2025

These guys were talented musicians. I don't care for the Hammond Organ sound--especially the later model used on later records, but the songs are good.

Quiet Life by Japan
Dec 04 2025

Not bad, and a little ahead of its time. Sounds like an inspiration for Naked Eyes, but this band's original songs are better.

2112 by Rush
Dec 09 2025

I was already a Rush fan.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Dec 10 2025

Not really my style, but his vocals are intresting. It inspired me to listen to more of his work. I like the later funk sounds. I also was inspired to listen again to his son Jeff's work. Wonderful. Thank you.

Stankonia by OutKast
Dec 11 2025

It was ok as background music. Didn't like it as well as The Love Below/Speakerboxx.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 15 2025

This is an excellent album.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 16 2025

I love Van Halen, and this is one of their absolute best.

The Doors by The Doors
Dec 17 2025

I do not like The Doors

Dec 19 2025

This music was just ok. I finally recognized one of their songs after going through a few of them, and it was pretty good.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Dec 22 2025

Too over-produced to take seriously. A few catch tunes, though.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Dec 23 2025

I liked this one quite a bit. I had never such early R.E.M. It's hard to describe, but it lacked the annoyance factor I feel listening to later R.E.M. music. I think that came from the saturation on MTV and local radio stations at the time. Too much Stipe is just too much Stipe.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Dec 29 2025

It's a great example of good use of the recording studio techniques available back then. Then the cowbell in "Night in the City" brings us back to Earth. I like the synthesizer sounds, too.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Dec 31 2025

I am a Nick Drake fan. His guitar work and voice were plenty to keep me coming back, not to mention his songwriting skills.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jan 01 2026

Great album by the legendary band.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 05 2026

I am a huge Prince fan, and I wish more people knew that he was much more than this album.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Jan 07 2026

This didn't show up in the way I expect the next one to show up. In fact, it never did until I clicked on History. Several have been that way. Good album, though. Holding Back the Years is still one of his greatest.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jan 08 2026

This has some catchy tunes. Surprisingly, the title track was my least favorite.

Traffic by Traffic
Jan 09 2026

It's funny how many older rock and roll acts sound like country music. That's the first impression I got at the outset of listening to this one. I learned that they (well, Mason) wrote Feelin' Alright.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jan 13 2026

This band is so funky and tight. They don't mind having fun and being funny. And funky, of course.

Document by R.E.M.
Jan 15 2026

Some great tunes on this one. I think I'm admitting I like the poppier R.E.M. Is that so wrong?

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jan 21 2026

I'm biased because I love Pictures an Exhibition in orchestral arrangement, for piano, and for ELP!

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jan 30 2026

These guys are underrated as musicians. The deep cuts tell the complete story more than the popular songs.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 02 2026

I LOVE this album. I loved it when I first got the CD at age 16, and I love it now at 55. I don't skip any songs. Never did. How many albums can say that?
