3/5

When to listen: hanging out and in a folksy mood. I enjoyed this album more and more as it went on, but it didn't move me one way or another.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

When to listen: High school nostalgia, need to kick into high gear. Appreciate, then skip songs with excessive moaning.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

When to listen: For the hippie trippy ~experience~ A true no skip album that reminds me of high school, and the great Strong Songs ep breaking down the album

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

When to listen: Pump up or feel like a boss. Surprisingly loved this as a no skip. Made me think about and appreciate metal vocals and musicality.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

4/5

When to listen: chill and funky vibes. Love the experience of listening to Stereolab but don't have much to say from a music theory standpoint—just that it was engaging and interesting!

Ramones

3/5

When to listen: feel like fighting the m-a-n, get amped. I was really debating between 3 and 4 stars, the songs themselves itself are great but as an album it's a lot of the same without evolution.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

1/5

When to listen: I wouldn't listen to this album again. It just... wasn't an experience that added anything to my life.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

When to listen: feeling like funk. Very enjoyable listen

I See A Darkness

Bonnie "Prince" Billy

4/5

When to listen: rainy or cold or moody or autumnal. Really enjoyed this album and discovering this artist

Bert Jansch

3/5

When to listen: mellow background banjo. Amped up my yen to learn the banjo. Lovely music, blended into the background though nothing really stood out to me.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

When to listen: feeling smooth or easy or sentimental. I really enjoyed this album even if a few songs I feel like were overplayed on TikTok. I think Frank Ocean is a genuinely impressive artist / this album top to bottom is a great listening experience.

Odelay

Beck

5/5

When to listen: feeling like the main character getting ready to leave the house. I loved that this album had a distinct sound / through line but added a new element to each song that fit, e.g. a saxophone or East Asian inspired melodies.

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

3/5

When to listen: hanging out and in a folksy mood. I enjoyed this album more and more as it went on, but it didn't move me one way or another.

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

When to listen: feeling edgy and punky and cooler than I am. I genuinely enjoyed this album—would listen again!

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

When to listen: Not sure I would again, not because it isn't amazing just because I don't need to. Great album, great music, but it just... is.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Live / Dead

Grateful Dead

2/5

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Is this experience making me realize I like metal?!

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

4/5

When to listen: A melancholy spring or summer day. Longing. Yearning. Feeling enormous love. I think she's a wonderful singer and I enjoyed this album.

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

4/5

When to listen: spacey, trippy, chill vibes. Idk why this album got hate on here I think it's unique and a fun listen. Is it... essential? Maybe not. But enjoyable!

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

When to listen: Want to feel good. Really anytime: cooking, cleaning, road trips, party. This was a fun one because I have this album on vinyl, the Irish man I was seeing found it for me in Dublin. Grew up in an Elton John family, and am a diehard for life. FIVE STARS!

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

When to listen: Feeling 80s. So quintessentially 80s I love this album so much.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

2/5

When to listen: Feeling bluesy. I know Muddy Waters can do more emotive blues, the kind that makes you want to get up and dance. That wasn't this album for me. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be?
