Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Nov 04 2025

This album had me a bit at the beginning, and then came the talking parts. I actually like "Song of a Baker", but anything higher than 2 stars would be a travesty

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Nov 05 2025

Not typically my kind of thing, but this was fine, some interesting songs

Transformer by Lou Reed
Nov 06 2025

Possibly the most boring collection of songs I have ever heard

Nov 10 2025

I know this album was important and is well thought of, but I couldn't even make it through the whole thing

Abbey Road by Beatles
Nov 15 2025

Probably one of my top 20 favorite albums of all time. And its not even my favorite, or 2nd favorite Beatles album. Something is my favorite song on the album.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Nov 18 2025

This is just not for me. I know this was a very important album at the time, but pretty much all the songs, even the most popular ones, are just too slow for my ears today to really get into.

War by U2
Nov 19 2025

U2 is my favorite bank. I love Sunday Bloody Sunday. This album is just not great IMO other than that one song. This is not in my top 5 favorite U2 albums

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Nov 29 2025

Only one song I was aware of before. I liked this album, but it wasn't incredible

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Dec 02 2025

I am a huge Beatles fan, this is widely viewed as the best single post Beatles album, and I had never actually listened to it from start to finish. The song I knew for sure was on it going in was My Sweet Lord, which is a song I have always really liked. But then, I got to What is Life and realized I knew this song, and I absolutely love it. Then, there is really no bad song on the album (until you get to the end of the 2nd side).

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Dec 11 2025

I just could not get into this, thought it was boring

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 22 2025

I was a big fan of a few songs on this album going in, and the rest while not as iconic didn't disappoint.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Dec 23 2025

So many incredible classic songs that are still insanely popular today, I can only imagine home huge this was at the time and I really enjoyed listening to the whole album

So by Peter Gabriel
Dec 27 2025

I really love the 2 very famous songs on this album and don't really care for the rest of it. This was hard for me to put a number on

OK Computer by Radiohead
Dec 30 2025

I enjoyed this, but didn't love it

Jan 01 2026

I thought I was never going to have heard any of this, then I got to the chorus of the first song and realized I knew it. I generally enjoyed this, it sits right on that 3/4 border for me but falls slightly on the wrong side of it.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 04 2026

Obviously I am familiar with the title track, but the album as a whole (even though it was short) just all felt like a repetitive but worse version of that first track

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 05 2026

This might be my least favorite Beatles album, but I really like the Beatles, there are a couple bangers and nothing I hate. But not a Beatles album I would go out of my way to defend

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Jan 08 2026

I am a sucker for good modern pop, but this just wasn't that. Nothing was bad and it wasn't offensive, but nothing spectacular for me on this (including Drunk in Love)

Street Life by The Crusaders
Jan 09 2026

This is certainly jazz. I don't really care for jazz and don't know how to properly rate it. It's fine I guess

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jan 10 2026

The beginning was OK, but I really did not care for the vast majority of this.

Jan 12 2026

I can't listen to this album and the lyrics without hearing what Kanye would turn into soon after in it. Fortunately for Kanye and this album, the music here is still great. I was really hovering on a 5 for a long time, but was slighly underwhelmed by the back half of the album

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jan 14 2026

I really enjoyed the first few songs of this album (especially the leading track Blue Orchid) and thought it may end up being a 5 for me. But I thought the rest of the album lulled, until the last track which I thought was great but did not feel like the same album as the stuff at the beginning I enjoyed. This was right on the 3/4 border for me, barely sliding into 4* for how much I liked Blue Orchid

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jan 15 2026

This is one of the strangest things I have ever listened to, but I didn't hate it. But as I am typing this I got to the last minute of the album with this donkey, and it loses a number just for that.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 16 2026

This album is great, I really love When Doves Cry.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jan 17 2026

I really like this woman's voice, sounds really cool especially for the time. I was enjoying this album and then got to Brass in Pocket and realized I already knew that song and liked it. That song is enough to bring the whole album up a point itself.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jan 18 2026

I love this album, probably my 2nd favorite Beatles Album. Michelle and In My Life are certainly my favorite songs. This album doesn't probably has lower lows than something like Abbey Road and doesn't have as high of highs as Revolver, but its still easily a 5 for me.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jan 19 2026

I really did not like one bit of this

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 28 2026

There are some songs I really do not like at all on this album (looking at your Revolution 9 and Wild Honey Pie). But there are some songs I love so much I couldn't possibly not give this a 5. Blackbird is my favorite Beatles song. Also, not having the single version of Revolution on an album is a travesty. So much better than the slower Revolution 1.

Achtung Baby by U2
Mar 17 2026

I love U2. For me, the first 4 songs of this album are great (I love Zoo Station) and Mysterious Ways is great, but the rest of the album is mid
