Frank by Amy Winehouse
Nov 12 2025

really nice sound and iconic voice. I would listen to this again a bunch

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Nov 13 2025

i usually would dislike country but this album wasn't very over the top and had some good sounds I enjoyed, but I don't think I would revisit it much at all.

Hotel California by Eagles
Nov 14 2025

definitely a quality album. I see the appeal and eagles has a chill, strong sound, but I cannot see myself relistening to it much at all

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Nov 17 2025

I was interested by the sound at first, but it never really developed and the vocals/lyrics never interested me. I can rock with hip hop, but this seemed mindless and too punky for me.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 18 2025

Bob Marley is nice like that

Nov 19 2025

2.67, good storytelling and cool sound but I would never listen to this again it wasn’t interesting to me

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 20 2025

Sounded musically authentic, and I generally enjoyed the instrumentals and vocals, but most of the record doesn't match my taste so I can't see myself returning

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Nov 21 2025

cool culture, great music, and I love long songs (6+ minutes). however, I can't see myself revisiting anytime soon

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 24 2025

apparently I'm gonna have to listen to 5 more of this guy's records, and I don't really care for it

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Nov 25 2025

A little repetitive and generally didn't fit my taste, but the smiths are pretty good overall and surprised me with some songs like Well I Wonder

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Nov 26 2025

The Architect was groovy, but most of the album didn't interest me as much.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Nov 28 2025

eerie, electric, unique. I like modern music that takes advantage of modern production tools. this just wasn't my vibe though.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Dec 01 2025

I like the instrumentals but I just wouldn’t relisten any time soon

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Dec 02 2025

smooth, lovely, but I don’t like listening to the “live” part of this live album

Traffic by Traffic
Dec 03 2025

Good band but didn’t interest me enough to revisit any time soon

The La's by The La's
Dec 04 2025

like 3.3/5. they had me hooked for a song but then would make we want to stop listening the next.

Dec 05 2025

I actually enjoyed the first half of this album, but the ladder half was much more disappointing for me. I also didn't feel as though there were memorable moments or catchy songs on this album, which usually brings me back.

Dec 08 2025

Didn’t care for this record much at all. Usually at least one song gets me or has something interesting for me but I just didn’t get that here

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Dec 09 2025

Fun, original, and creative

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Dec 10 2025

I’m familiar with a lot of melodic rap or modern production in hip hop so seeing where it came from or the earlier stages of rap was enjoyable and fun

Opus Dei by Laibach
Dec 12 2025

didn't care for the concept, didn't enjoy the hour-long anthem music, never want to hear these vocals again

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Dec 15 2025

really love this music, but I wish there was a little more song structure with some sort of repeated hook or instrumental story-telling of sort. maybe it's there and I'm just missing it though

Pornography by The Cure
Dec 16 2025

dark and interesting, but I don't think I would revisit anytime soon

Dec 17 2025

I see why it’s in here because it was politically relevant or significant for the time but this album was pretty boring for me. Also, I don’t get why it’s called untitled with its title in parenthesis

Ten by Pearl Jam
Dec 18 2025

might go hard in a rhythm game

Movies by Holger Czukay
Dec 19 2025

The two longer tracks were pretty good, but I don't care for this

Live! by Fela Kuti
Dec 22 2025

i like it. funky, groovy, and energetic. cool environment

Brothers by The Black Keys
Dec 23 2025

Only a couple songs like Black Mud and Too Afraid to Love you were really grooving for me. Also, I don’t understand what’s up with this album cover. Most of this album was too average to stand out as a classic on this list. It’s missing the X factor

The Next Day by David Bowie
Dec 24 2025

I hadn't heard of David Bowie, though I've heard a lot of his popular songs. I'm not so sure, but I feel like this shouldn't have been the albun that represents him on this list. Especially for a 2010s record, and especially for a very experienced artist, this didn't interest me at all. felt disorganized

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Dec 25 2025

I like some of his other records more

Dec 29 2025

I really like live albums, but I felt like too much of this record was dull. I'm definitely missing the hype somewhere but at the end of the day I can't force myself to rate it high just because

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Dec 30 2025

I don’t know the Beatles well, so listening was pretty new for me. It makes sense why their music is classic. I like their choices on the instrumentals as they all felt intentional and well thought. No significant highs for me on this record though.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jan 01 2026

This album is good and very well-produced, but for me today I can’t really sit down to listen to it. I think that this era of hip hop emphasized too much profanity and superficiality

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 02 2026

I've heard a lot of good things about Jimi Hendrix, but for the most part, I just wasn't impressed. Still solid, but I didn't really enjoy listening

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jan 06 2026

A lot of good sounds on this. I’ll definitely be revisiting

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jan 09 2026

I like mellow music, but I prefer it with some more musicality and better vocals..

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jan 23 2026

I think the concept is pretty interesting but the music didn't interest me enough to think about relistening

Feb 09 2026

I dont even think this is his best album but its very influential, creative, and has some of the best hip hop records in Runaway and Devil in a New Dress so it's hard not to give it 5 stars

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 12 2026

pretty groovy, good 70s music

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 13 2026

like when you get some good food but have no sauce to put on it
