The Score by Fugees

Big fan of this album. Owned it when I was in high school. I remember how cool all the different tracks where at the time. The Roberta Flack cover is still one of my top favorite songs.

Tapestry by Carole King
Dec 16 2025

It's amazing the number of bangers/known songs on this one album. She's quite a prolific singer/songwriter. Awesome to learn she was one of the songwriters behind "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" I had just learned that she didn't want Gilmore Girls to use "Where You Lead" because it was about a man, but then she re-recorded it with her daughter when they told her the premise of the show. Interesting to her the original song and it's lyrics. I don't particularly love her voice. It has a specific quality that is just right for these songs and I know if from the Gilmore Girls show and her speaking voice. I am very impressed by her songwriting and her piano skills.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 22 2025

That voice.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Dec 23 2025

Such an incredible sound. Definitely in my all time Top Ten.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Dec 30 2025

It was good. Just not quite my style of music.

Jan 01 2026

Atmospheric. Has my favorite U2 song - With or Without You

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre

Green by R.E.M.

Jan 13 2026

Apparently I've never listened to the whole album, just the top songs. Really liked the opening song "Hello". Album in total became a little repetitive of a sound, but was still good.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jan 16 2026

I was bored. Forgot to keep listening. Couldn't remember where I left off. Such a repetitious boring sound to me.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jan 23 2026

It's cool for what it is.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jan 27 2026

It was fine. Probably won't listen to this album again. Has some songs that are nostalgic that I was glad to listen to again.

The Score by Fugees
Jan 28 2026

Big fan of this album. Owned it when I was in high school. I remember how cool all the different tracks where at the time. The Roberta Flack cover is still one of my top favorite songs.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jan 29 2026

This was a really fun album. Liked the beat and the Portugese language.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Feb 02 2026

Pleasantly surprised by the album. Had a real dark soul sound to it. An intro to metal if you will. Probably won't listen to it again, but might look into additional Black Sabbath albums.

Feb 04 2026

Some favorite nostalgic songs on her. Vocals make sense on those. But for a lot of the album it felt like he was really straining for the notes. Off putting sounds on many songs.

Damaged by Black Flag
Feb 05 2026

I've already forgotten it from the just listening to it yesterday. I like punk, but this album just didn't do it for me.

The Slider by T. Rex
Feb 06 2026

Each song is very repetitive. As a stand-alone song it's fine, but multiple of a very static beat is not great.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 09 2026

Liked a few of the songs, but wasn't interested in continually listening. Kept stopping it for distractions, and then would forget I was even listening to it.

Feb 10 2026

Such a sad listen. I do love me some Johnny Cash, but this is not one of my top albums of his. It was quite beautiful, just such a change from the Johnny I grew up with. Has a cover of one of my all time favorite songs - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Feb 11 2026

Weird, but liked quite a few of the songs as a cohesive album. Very Buffy-core.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Feb 12 2026

I thought it had interesting beats.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Feb 16 2026

It was fine.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Feb 18 2026

Jammy big hair vibes. Not into it.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Feb 19 2026

Love these ladies, but the album is just ok. Very hymnal-esque.

White Ladder by David Gray
Mar 18 2026

A lot of memories behind some of these songs. Never listened to the full album before, but enjoy it.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Mar 24 2026

A couple favorite songs on here - but this is not my preferred White Stripes album.

Music by Madonna
Mar 26 2026

Don't enjoy the electronic dance vibe. Better Madonna albums.

So good.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 04 2026

It was fine. Nothing too exciting about it.

25 by Adele
Jun 08 2026
Jun 11 2026

It was a little too weird for me at times. But I sort of like it too.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jun 12 2026

Ugh. The songs were so repetitive.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Jun 15 2026

Surprised by how much I enjoyed this one.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jun 24 2026
1984 by Van Halen
Jul 06 2026

It was fine for what it was. Just not the type of music I like to listen to.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jul 15 2026

I dug some of the great blues beats. Annoyed when he started singing with it.

The White Album by Beatles
Jul 27 2026

3.5. Some real bangers. Not a Beatles fan, but I can recognize the importance of some of these songs. The rest is sort of like let everyone have a go at a song or two. Too much.

Tical by Method Man
Jul 30 2026

A gritty, murky, downbeat sound that I liked. Wu-Tang was not a group I listened to when they came out, so I'm late to the game in listening to anything other than the top hits. I'm not much of a rap fan, but I liked this.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Aug 04 2026

Love how this flows so seamlessly between tracks.

Dare! by The Human League
Aug 05 2026
Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Aug 06 2026

Mopey man music. Maybe if it was fall and raining out.

Aug 07 2026

This movie was such a revelation when it came out. The music absolutely set the perfect tone for it. On it's own doesn't quite hit the same.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Aug 10 2026
Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Aug 12 2026

This dude definitely listened to a lot of Nick Drake.
