This probably hits hard as fuck if you're a 13 year old boy and your crush just rejected you.

Still more pleasant than listening to country music.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

A classic. Not really the type of music I listen to but good nonetheless.

Metallica

2/5

It's... fine. I'm just not the target demographic. I associate this group's music with 15 year old incels and racist american rednecks (not the group's fault, but still).

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Great album. Sadly when you get to the end "A Bitch Iz a Bitch" ruins the vibe by being entirely too violently misogynistic for me to ignore.

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

A bit monotonous at times but I enjoyed most of the songs.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

Sigh... Merry Christmas everyone.

that fuckass harmonica

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

Some of these lyrics read like teenage angst but I enjoy the post-punk sound too much to give a shit about that.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

3/5

Still more pleasant than listening to country music.

Harvest

Neil Young

2/5

I'm trying to enjoy it, I really am. It's just that anything country adjacent makes me want to cut my ears off and also that stupid maid song just isn't helping.

Tea for the Tillerman

Sunrise goes so fucking hard.

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

The Tarkus portion (first 20 minutes of the album) was really good. The rest was just a bunch of nonsense. "Can you believe, God makes you breathe. Why did he lose six million Jews?" Whatever the hell that means.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

3/5

2 days of Steely Dan in a row... That's enough, I get it.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

3/5

Good lyricism, I just wish it didn't sound like that.

Third

Portishead

2/5

The album of anxiety and dread.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

5/5

Only a couple of duds (that Jamaica Jerk-Off song is just awful) but everything else about this album is SO good I can't justify giving it 4 stars instead of 5.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

The Doors

4/5

Blur

3/5

I can't tell whether I think this sucks or I'm just in a bad mood. I don't think I particularly hate any of the songs but I'm left feeling a bit irritated. Is it the vocals? Maybe, most likely. I'll have to relisten to this in the future because right now I have nothing. I want to give it 2 stars but I'm rounding it up to 3... as a treat (a treat for whom?). Whatever, I'm going to bed.

New Forms

Roni Size

2/5

It just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on... I don't care if it's impressive or innovative for its time, I don't want to hear any more of it.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

After The Gold Rush

Tragic Songs of Life

Sorry for listening to the schizophrenic mormon music in a more complex and nuanced way than everyone else. I guess I'm just chill like that.

Public Image Ltd.

3/5

It's not for everyone (the vocals can get really obnoxious at times) but if you like post-punk you might get some enjoyment out of this so give it a fair try. Also the song called Socialist is the best one because of course it is.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Good music made by racist assholes.

I liked this one much better than The Suburbs.

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

3/5

Some really cool sounds (others not so much). 22 songs is just a lot.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

He's such a good storyteller you almost forget just how deeply unpleasant his voice and his harmonica are to listen to.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

3/5

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

3/5

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

2/5

I'm convinced only people born in the United States can enjoy this kind of music. The rest of us just nod and smile and wait until it's over so we can listen to literally anything else.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

3/5

It starts off with some really cool funky beats and then they give you some disco and some electro and you start thinking to yourself "hey! this is pretty fun!" only for them to then betray your trust by making you listen to the worst Stevie Wonder tribute song you've heard in your entire life and then immediately right after a song about accepting our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into our hearts. With that being said, The Message is the best song in the entire album and you should go listen to it.

I haven't listened to this in at least a decade.... it's still pretty fun.

Violent Femmes

3/5

This sounds so much like the 90's, it's a bit trippy. Very much ahead of their time.
