Dookie by Green Day
Nov 28 2025
Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Dec 01 2025

Very well written just not my style

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Dec 02 2025

Better than I was expecting. I enjoyed this album

Parklife by Blur
Dec 03 2025

This was the opposite of strangers. I was expecting to like it more. However I found, while still good, it was a bit lackluster

Be by Common

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Dec 10 2025

Could not get into it. Not necessarily bad music. Just not something. I could connect with

Movies by Holger Czukay
Dec 11 2025
Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Dec 12 2025

Winwood is hit or miss for me. Most traffic is a hit. Most winwood solo is a miss

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Dec 17 2025

Seemed a bit forced. It was easy listening but didn’t inspire me at all

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Mar 18 2026

Has a feel like The Shape of Punk to Come. Its not quite as iconic but you can feel and hear how much was influenced from it.

Mar 24 2026

some guitar, a nasally voice talk/singing a few words and then some harmonica. If you like the sound of that repeated for an hour this album is for you. I appreciate and understand Dylan's influence, but this is not in my wheelhouse at all

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Mar 25 2026

Very forgettable. Didn't even realize the album was over until I heard a song playing that I recognized

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Mar 31 2026
Dust by Screaming Trees
Apr 03 2026
Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Apr 10 2026

very dull, very bland very forgettable

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Apr 13 2026

I was dreading listening to this album. I know where Bob Dylan stands for me: Respected but not fond of at all, but this record was a breath of fresh air and plesently unexpected, much more of a blusey feel but still with the typical Bob Dylan storytelling underneath. I actually might give it another listen at some point.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Apr 15 2026

Was pumped to get a punk album after a few that felt like wading through mud. Started out well, but it didn't grow. There was one big well of energy at the beginning, and then it just held there. Nothing stood out because there was no change. it was just a constant barrage of high intensity noise. Its one of those albums where its understandable why its included in this list, but misses for me.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Apr 16 2026
Apr 28 2026

I really have to separate the art from the artist on this one, but purely from a musical standpoint, this album is great. Song after song, hit after hit, all the little melodies that have been stuck in my head with no context for years, this album will probably go into a semi-regular rotation.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 05 2026
Infected by The The
May 08 2026

80s music, not the good stuff. Don't know any songs which doesn't bode well for a genre I'm familiar with.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 12 2026
Bummed by Happy Mondays

Aja by Steely Dan

Groovin' by The Young Rascals

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Jun 17 2026

As an avid listener of alternative music growing up, I always get nervous when I've never even heard of a band. Some times its because of my ignorance, but I'd like to consider myself well versed in the alternative world. This album was completely unremarkable in every way. I cannot figure out what is influential about it, but maybe it will take a few listens.

Funeral by Arcade Fire

Sulk by The Associates

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

Tommy by The Who
Aug 07 2026

Thought I would really enjoy this, but it just dragged on. I wanted to like it but very few songs spoke to me like I thought they would.One thing that has always stuck through me was my uncle calling the who the greatest band of all time, better than the beatles specifically, and everyone else. I respect the who, but they're just not for me.
