Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin

phenomenal opening talented musicians don’t love the vocals on the rover but love the yeahs the build… in the 3rd song yeah okay pretty okay middle love the yeahs some of the songs didn't need to be that long down by the seaside's opening needs to be longer we really didn't need the blaccent

Parachutes by Coldplay

they want me to listen to Coldplay? its not even the best Coldplay album Chris martins vocals sound whiny but it could just be the sign of the times if you're gonna start listening to a Coldplay album, this isn't the one I would start with

Young Americans by David Bowie
Dec 18 2025

the sax sounds amazing. pretty groovy. love the adlibs bowie has some soul in him don't love some the lyrics black choir popping off sax solo bass is holding it down David is daviding across the universe is my favorite, but I hate the fade out there's a little ziggy in here those are some pretty harmonies, oohhh and the strings. very pretty and soft song, should have been the closer. why is fame at the end overall pretty solid record, just gets a little white man making weird noise over a black choir sometimes.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Dec 19 2025

day 3 of listening to white dad's music taste :/ vocals and guitar eating wish the high hats were mixed better paranoid has some great drums okay love how this album actually have variety and shows musicianship planet caravan is a very pretty song vietnam mention hand of doom probably the best song off the record not the kind of music I would listen to but still a very enjoyable listen

War by U2
Dec 21 2025

day 4 of listening to white dad rock :( eh New Year's Day's build is pretty good I do not like this man's voice like a song has a nice breakdown drowning man sounds like a medieval tavern music the refugee is my favorite kinda over the fade outs red light is so fun, giving Mario cart tho the back half of this album is much better not the kind of music I would listen to

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Dec 22 2025

eh, not a bad sounding album at all. just didn't hold my attention. much prefer their 2020 album, we will always love you.

All Directions by The Temptations
Dec 23 2025

finally a non-white band first album on this list that I felt actually deserve to be on this list. the strings and horns and vocals all come together to make some very smooth and romantic vibe love woke me up this morning is such beautiful song definitely a blue print of many great modern love songs

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Dec 24 2025

nothing really exceptional listenable songs space has some pretty instrumentals easy has some fun ones the harmonies on wonderful need some work but otherwise a lovely song space beatle is nice rhododendron is a calm little interlude liquid bird is probably my fav off this, I like how the guitar and drums sound on this pure for a is a good closer

Nevermind by Nirvana
Dec 25 2025

I can see why it is a classic not for me personally but great musicians

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Dec 29 2025

Jan 08 2026

you guys are dramatic as fuck, its not even that bad don't enjoy the vocal delivery definitely the funniest album so far did I need to hear this before I die? no. but was it fun? sometimes

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jan 09 2026

this is what the Beatles sound like to me (in a good way) the first two songs was very good loved the harmonica work hated how he pronounced vase definitely enjoyed the project more than I thought, first album on this list that managed to keep my attention fav song is teach your children, really relevant song in today's context as well lol. kinda feels like we're repeating cycles or something

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jan 10 2026

wow what an introduction, not the kind of song I would follow up with that intro tho, love how the instruments sound on this record, wish I could say the same for the vocals

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Jan 11 2026

the harmonies are gorgeous, so are instruments so strings are so playful on the first track the warm vocal tone on the second track wow lookin for for the time is genuinely a good time wish there was a more variety of melodies but still a very pretty voice and tone throughout

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Jan 12 2026

hmmmmm, one iconic song from the album. honestly not my vibe but still a good album something about this album just didn't click for me, maybe it was the melodies but I wish it did because I wanted to like it

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 13 2026

glee version of jump is better than the og version cool guitars otherwise

John Prine by John Prine
Jan 15 2026

Jan 22 2026

I can tell why he was so popular, he still sounds great even into his old age which is crazy. personally not the music I am into but very talented

surprisingly sweet, he kinda sounds like Patrick star. the horns??? lol???hello??a pack and what??? the horns are mixed very well the harmonies on the mother's son are really haunting, really choir like chilling song driving is low-key pop perfection the lyrics are so... true and not true at the same time didn't realize it was this progressive wish there was more variety in the lyrical content that wasn't about how real this reality is right now but phenomenal album, Arthur went on too long but thats a personal thing really happy I gave this album a second try

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jan 24 2026

kinda boring, nothing really special about it, it sounds good tho

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Jan 30 2026

Jan 31 2026

success is probably the best song turn blue has a really awesome guitar line and melody but omg those adlibs are not it. not really a fan of the music but it doesn't sound awful

90 by 808 State
Feb 01 2026

pretty good beats, pretty standard nowadays but I bet it was innovative back in the day

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Feb 02 2026

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Feb 06 2026

its Britney bitch its a 4 personally but the ratting of the general public is too low

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 10 2026

Ella does not fuck with Delilah okay ella not every song is banger but when they are, they are amazing the strings are wonderful Ella likes shorts guys? lol her cousin her voice is also amazing, her tone and her story telling slap that bass is so true zoom zoom zoom felt more like a musical than an album tbh

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 11 2026

oh no I do not like the voice okay it gets a bit better whos writing these lyrics... musically its really good but I don't care for the lyrics or the voice

Feb 12 2026

21 was her magnum opus, but this still has some of her hits my favorite song is a tie between all I ask and when we were young, phenomenal songs

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
