Popular Reviews

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre

All the songs have the same name,so I kind of knew that it was not going to be impressive. This is music that you hear at a spa or massage parlor

All Ratings (177)

Brothers by The Black Keys
Dec 23 2025
She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Dec 27 2025

One of my favorite albums of all time. It is perfect, a true no skip album. Cyndi Lauper is immensely talented.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jan 07 2026

This is my first time listening to this album and I love it.

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 08 2026

Long album, but it has some great songs.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jan 10 2026

Lots of jams!

Jan 11 2026

I love this album. I actually listened to it several times yesterday. It may eventually reach 5 star status once I am more familiar with it.

Jan 15 2026

I love Pantera. This album has two of their most known songs, Walk and This Love. If you like metal, this album is the jam

Close To You by Carpenters
Jan 16 2026

This is not really my type of music, but it has some classics that we all know. Karen Carpenter was extremely talented. This album has some great harmonies.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jan 17 2026

This has some good rockabilly, jams, and some classics.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jan 20 2026

Amy Winehouse was super talented, but this album just really is not my style. It has some catchy jams, but I don't really see what all the hype is about.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jan 21 2026

Good vibes, but some really dumb lyrics. I’m giving it a 3, but think I’m being generous.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 22 2026

This album has some bangers, but also some duds.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 24 2026
Homework by Daft Punk
Jan 25 2026

Around the World is one of my favorite songs of all time and takes me right back to 1998 at the Buzz in DC. The rest of the album is good background listening, but nothing extraordinary.

Suicide by Suicide
Jan 26 2026

This is my first one-star review. There is no way that anyone thinks this album is one of the greatest albums ever made.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jan 27 2026

A Forest is amazing. It is the star of the album. The album is good, but they have better albums.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jan 30 2026

Classic punk album. I love Black Flag.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 31 2026

With exception of one song, this is a pretty slow album. There’s some pretty harmonies. I’ve never heard the last song on the album, which was pretty powerful.

Feb 01 2026

This is one of my top 10 favorite hip-hop albums of all time and one of my top 20 favorite albums ever. I’ve listened to it for 30 years and it never gets old. Five stars all the way.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 02 2026

Good album. It didn’t wow me though.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Feb 03 2026

Excellent album

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Feb 06 2026

All the songs have the same name,so I kind of knew that it was not going to be impressive. This is music that you hear at a spa or massage parlor

Be by Common
Feb 07 2026

Excellent album. I totally forgot about Testify. I loved that song twenty years ago.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Feb 09 2026

She has a beautiful voice, but this is just not my kind of music.

Feb 10 2026

Great album overall. It has some classics that everyone knows: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and With A Little Help From My Friends. Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds and A Day In The Life are two of my favorite Beatles songs. Within You Without You is the only dud on the album in my opinion.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Feb 12 2026

This album is no longer on Spotify, so I had a heard tone finding it.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Feb 13 2026

I’ve never really listened to Iggy Pop. I enjoyed this album. Some Weird Sin and the Passenger were my favorites.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 14 2026

I’m way more of a Nirvana fan than Foo Fighters. It’s hard to believe this album came out 14 months after Kurt died. This album has some well known FF songs. Their music is just too blah for me.

My Generation by The Who
Feb 15 2026

This album has some bangers, but is very long. There are some songs that should have been cut. Overall, it is a good album.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Feb 18 2026

This took me three days to get through. I couldn’t listen to it straight through. There are a few good songs. It should have been an album of ten songs and cut the other 59.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Feb 20 2026

This is not really my jam, but I can recognize the talent.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Feb 22 2026

I’ve never heard of this band. They are pretty good. I like the last song a lot.

American Pie by Don McLean
Feb 23 2026

It has some great songs on this album.

Arise by Sepultura
Feb 25 2026
Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Feb 27 2026
Boston by Boston
Mar 02 2026

This is a classic album with no skips.

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 03 2026

I love this album and it has a bunch of excellent songs. I only rate an album five stars if it is flawless with no skips. This is almost there, but not quite. I wish I could give 4.5.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 05 2026

This is a five star album. It’s a no skip, change your life kind of album. Nirvana was my favorite band when I was in middle school. When this album came out, it was so different than everything that had been popular. While I love hair bands, there is something so cool about being part of something new. There had been no mainstream bands like this before. This album contains many classic radio hits, but also some other amazing songs like Polly, Drain You and Lounge Act. I tried to listen to it without my emotional attachment and it is just a great album from start to finish.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 06 2026
Manassas by Stephen Stills
Mar 09 2026
Kid A by Radiohead
Mar 10 2026
Orbital 2 by Orbital
Mar 11 2026

From the first song, I kind of knew this album was going to go downhill. I loved and listened to a lot of techno in the late 90s. I tried to be open minded because this was early 90s. They were on the forefront but this album is just blah. It is definitely not one of the albums I needed to listen to before I die.

GI by Germs
Mar 16 2026
Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Mar 17 2026

I am a huge Doors fan. This album has some classics like Waiting For the Sun and Roadhouse Blues. The album is a smooth listen from start to finish.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Mar 23 2026

I forgot how many hits they had from this album.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 24 2026

I’ve listened to this album a few times from start to finish because it is so loved. I recognize the talent, but it is not my cup of tea.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Mar 26 2026

This album was beautiful. I have not heard of her and was very impressed.

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 01 2026

A great album with a ton of classics.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 02 2026

This was a cool album. It is really all over the place as far as genres.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Apr 04 2026

Great album name. The whole album is instrumental until the last song and then they hit you with some vocals.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Apr 05 2026

Not a fan of this album. I can acknowledge it’s place in early electronic music. However, its place is in the past.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 06 2026

This album is no longer on Spotify. I had to find it on YouTube.

Doolittle by Pixies
Apr 08 2026

I love the Pixies!

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 09 2026
Low by David Bowie
Apr 11 2026
Third by Soft Machine
Apr 13 2026
Ctrl by SZA
Apr 16 2026

I really enjoyed this album. I only know of Sza from being featured on other’s songs. I’m surprised by all the negative reviews.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 17 2026

As with her other album, I recognize her talent, but this is just not my cup of tea.

Smash by The Offspring
Apr 18 2026
Odessa by Bee Gees
Apr 20 2026

Definitely not what I expected. I like it better than disco era BeeGees.

2112 by Rush
Apr 26 2026

I have not heard of this album, but I really enjoyed it.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 28 2026
Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Apr 29 2026

Tangerine is one of my favorite songs of all time and is my favorite LZ song.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 12 2026

Finally, a Bob Marley album. I’m pleasantly surprised to see this album. I expected Exodus. Rebel Music, Them Belly Full and So Jah S’eh are my favorite songs on this record.

Nowhere by Ride
May 13 2026

I will listen to this again a few times. I haven’t heard of this band or album. It’s very 90s. I like it.

Imagine by John Lennon
May 14 2026
The Doors by The Doors
May 15 2026

So many excellent songs on the album.

In Utero by Nirvana
May 19 2026

Great album!

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 21 2026

This album is a very high four. It’s not a perfect five, but pretty close.

Fragile by Yes
May 22 2026

This has some jams!

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
May 23 2026

This is nice, but I’m not into solo piano pieces with no lyrics. I recognize the talent, but would never listen to this on my own.

Sister by Sonic Youth
May 24 2026
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 25 2026

This album is so great!

Achtung Baby by U2
May 26 2026

This album is just okay. Not great.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 29 2026

This album is not bad, but not great.

Yeezus by Kanye West
May 31 2026

This album has some jams.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jun 03 2026

I appreciate being exposed to non-western music through this.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jun 04 2026

Another cool listen outside of my norm.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 05 2026

This is such a great album for being a debut album. There are so many great songs.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 06 2026

This was not what I was expecting from the titles.

Jun 07 2026

Great album, but not their best. Life is Peachy is their best album. However, this album has a bunch of bangers.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 09 2026

This album is great and has so many good songs. There are a few that they could have skipped to make it a perfect album.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Jun 10 2026

I’m surprised that I don’t know this band as I am very familiar with punk bands and similar genres. This is why I’m doing this- to discover new bands like this. I liked this album. It has good bass lines. I really liked Boy About Town, Scrape Away That’s Entertainment, and Set the House Ablaze.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 16 2026

This is a great album.

B-52's by The B-52's
Jun 22 2026
Moving Pictures by Rush
Jun 27 2026

This album contains Limelight and Tom Sawyer, which are songs that everybody knows and loves. The drumming is excellent. Overall, I’m not a huge Rush fan.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Jul 03 2026

I love Morrissey, but this not my favorite album.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jul 08 2026

This album is good. I really liked a few songs. I appreciate how this band’s Frost sound is so unique and you can always recognize them.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Jul 12 2026

I’m being generous with a 3. There are a few good songs, like Human Cannonball, but several that are total crap.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jul 15 2026

I’m a huge metal fan and I like Dave Mustaine. I feel terrible for what Metallica did to him. However, I’m not a huge fan of his voice.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jul 17 2026

I recognize the talent, but I’m not into smooth jazz. There is a lot of hits on this album though.
