Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.

Fantastic to run to. A very important piece of work.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 02 2026
On The Beach by Neil Young
Jan 03 2026

Alright. His voice is quite whiney and annoying . The sad songs at the back end were good.

Fragile by Yes
Jan 04 2026

Some highlights in what started off sounding like nonsense but once my ear tuned in was enjoyable. Could not do this every day

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 05 2026

Classic Americana. Great stuff. Enjoyed it more than I thought. Loved Glory Days, hadn't heard that before.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 06 2026

Very nice. Nothing really stood out. An easy and enjoyable listen. Might check out some more of his stuff after this.

Atomizer by Big Black
Jan 07 2026

This is a bit of me. I should have heard this before now really. Industrial. Jarring. Excellent.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jan 08 2026

A couple of classic formulas over and over again. Joyful listen. There are more girls in this album than there is the fifth mambo.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jan 09 2026

Raspberry ripple. Veins of great taste running through mostly bland and homogeneous vanilla stuff. It became background music after 3 songs. Dreamer came and went and I was gone again before the end.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Jan 12 2026

People Hold On is great. Did not enjoy a hour of this. First time the YouTube ads have been welcomed. Feels like some PEDs are needed for this one.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jan 14 2026

It's alright. He's got a great voice. I prefer his version of Without You to the Christmas lady's.

Jan 15 2026

Elite foyer music. Perfect for people that need to concentrate on something else.

Jan 16 2026

Weak commune tunes. Would have been a 1 if not for the cowboy song. I can't even be bothered to go back and look what it's actually called.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jan 19 2026

A good balance of grungy and melodic. Really enjoyable listen.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jan 20 2026

Fantastic stuff, I love disco. Some terrific bass lines.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jan 21 2026

Jangly Rickenbacker, second meeting with that Crosby guy. It's alright, i guess. Marked down for doing mainly covers; a lot of Bob Dylan's work. Mark added for not sounding like Bob Dylan. We'll Meet Again was a jarring listen.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Jan 22 2026

She has successfully crossed over two of my least favourite musical genres. A dull, warbly slog. My first 1 star.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 23 2026

Very poetic. Some shanty-like numbers and some powerful slower songs. I liked Brother, My Cup Is Empty

Jan 24 2026

Fantastic bit of work. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. I have done multiple times and I will do multiple times more.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jan 25 2026

Some great songs. I hate the delivery. He sounds like a boy making a motorbike sound.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Jan 26 2026

Awesome bass player. Quite showy.

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 30 2026

Oye Como Va and the Guitar Hero song. A really cheesy English singing voice.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jan 31 2026

Pretty one paced. Gets a nostalgia round up even though all the hits are elsewhere.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 02 2026

Fantastic to run to. A very important piece of work.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Feb 04 2026

Pretty average new wave

GI by Germs
Feb 06 2026

Lovely! Some classics one here.

Eagles by Eagles
Feb 07 2026

Decent two catchy songs bookending rocky, country sounding stuff.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Feb 08 2026

Dubby, a bit of trip hope. Decent couple of songs I there.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 09 2026

Not great. None of the classic PSB hits on here. Some criminal rhyming.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 10 2026

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would on the second listen.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Feb 11 2026

Great riffs, great album. The creepy, catchy notes from the first song stuck in my head all day

Close To You by Carpenters
Feb 12 2026

Three big singles in here. Cresent Noon while walking the dog in the forest was lovely.

The Cars by The Cars
Feb 13 2026

Just What I Needed is catchy but cheesy. The rest is just cheesy.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 17 2026

Gorgeous voice, great storytelling songwriter

The Yes Album by Yes
Feb 18 2026

Only one more of these to get through. The No Album. Worse than Fragile.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Feb 20 2026

It's not Pet Sounds. Is this written for children?

Harvest by Neil Young
Feb 21 2026

Meh, ok

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 22 2026

Songs as long as the titles

Feb 25 2026

Why is this on the list? It's not even good within it's genre.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Feb 26 2026

I didn't like it when it came out. I still don't like it.

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 28 2026

There's a good single LP album in there. In hindsight, it would have given loads more to the 'unreleased/newly discovered bits' market that seems to be drying up nowadays.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Mar 03 2026

Not much to the lyrics but quite fun

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 04 2026

I'd totally missed WC died 10 days ago. RIP. Thanks for this and the rest.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 05 2026

Can you whisper and drone at the same time? The other one was better

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Mar 06 2026

Jazzy and ambient enough to balance out the folky bits

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 08 2026

This album is great.

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Mar 09 2026

Some great songs some annoying nonsense. The woman has a great voice, bass player is top.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Mar 11 2026
Live! by Fela Kuti
Mar 12 2026
Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Mar 13 2026

She has a decent voice. Seems like an album a young person would make. Very surprised she's knocking 50 years old

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Mar 14 2026

Top, top, top drawer.

Odelay by Beck
Mar 16 2026

Solid mix of a load of stuff. Dog on the front too

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Mar 17 2026

Diminuendo in Blue is outrageous! The Original Album is available on Spotify but it's not linked from here, it's half the length with less of the comperes.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 18 2026

Old love movie songs

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Mar 19 2026

This is a fucking sick album.

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 22 2026

Makes you want to skate

Palo Congo by Sabu
Mar 23 2026

First song is amazing

xx by The xx
Mar 28 2026

Intro and Crystallised and that's about it.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Mar 30 2026

I can see for miles is great but it's mostly annoying

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Apr 02 2026

Loved this

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Apr 05 2026

Last song is great. Decent rest.

1977 by Ash
Apr 06 2026

Apr 10 2026

Couldn't get into it

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 11 2026

Not as good as I'd expected. The other one was better

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 14 2026

The most nailed on 5

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Apr 16 2026

Not a bad attempt at an album for a celebrity chef/travel documentarian.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Apr 17 2026

Albums like this is the reason I'm doing this thing.

Dookie by Green Day
Apr 18 2026

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Apr 22 2026

I think I could PB to this. 🏃‍♂️

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
May 01 2026

This is a masterpiece.

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 05 2026

Glam metal before it was a thing. The guitarist is good. He knows he's good too. I don't like the singer.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
May 06 2026

Average. You can die without hearing this.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 07 2026

Big shout out to stepping on a crack and breaking your mother's back! He's got a great voice.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 08 2026

Still don't like his voice. The proto grunge bit at the end was good

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
May 10 2026

I bet Lana Del Rey/Ray??? Likes Fuzzy. Dull album.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
May 11 2026

Couple of good songs on here but it's a bit wonky.

May 13 2026

My favourite album from a favourite band

May 15 2026

Decent, enjoyed the bluesy bits

Incredible album.

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 17 2026

Not for me

1999 by Prince
May 18 2026
Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
May 23 2026

The lyrics are better read than accompanied by pedestrian guitar.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
May 24 2026
The Bends by Radiohead
May 25 2026

Full of bangers

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
May 26 2026

The College Dropout by Kanye West
May 27 2026

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
May 28 2026

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jun 04 2026

Catchy, 80s, Goths.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 05 2026

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jun 07 2026

Good live album

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jun 08 2026

Unsure why this is here. But I grew up listening to garage so I'm not moaning.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jun 10 2026

This is a very average album

Jun 14 2026

The La's by The La's
Jun 29 2026

One incredible song and some decent stuff.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jun 30 2026

Great album, Pyramid song 🔥

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jul 01 2026

So Dad, so 80s. Starts off cheesy but bearable but ends up sounding like B movie score cut scene music from that era.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jul 04 2026

Better than Brothers in Arms

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 08 2026

Bang average 00s indie

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jul 10 2026

Fantastic trip hop album

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jul 11 2026

Doorbell ended up an earworm for the day

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jul 12 2026

One of the only positive things about being born in 70s UK is the age you are when you hit the 90s

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jul 13 2026

Drowzy, folky ramblings

The Man Who by Travis
Jul 15 2026

The most interesting thing about this album is that it was released on 1st January

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jul 16 2026

Not sure about soundtracks on this list. It's good music.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jul 17 2026

Nice west African music. Summery

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 18 2026

A timeless classic. Ultimate soul music.

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 19 2026

It's quite long. A few bangers but ends up samey. James Hatfield's voice is so corny.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jul 21 2026

Pleasantly surprised it wasn't just Mr Blue Sky. Some great songs in here. Too long though

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jul 23 2026

Ass

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jul 25 2026

A permanent fixture in my top 5 albums of all time. Incredible!

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jul 26 2026

DJ Premier is incredible, silky flows from Guru

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jul 27 2026

The band are great, his voice is so distinct. The songs float between a few genres. Soulful and jazzy I liked. Rounded down due to amount of la's

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jul 29 2026

He's like durian fruit. Unfortunately, for me, it wretched and makes me feel sick. Gets two stars for the bluesy tunes.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jul 31 2026

Two bangers and a lot of songs that sound very similar to the bangers

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Aug 01 2026

Fantastic, bluesy, great riffs, top jams.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Aug 02 2026

Much better than the black album. Only a couple of these songs need to be over 5 minutes.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Aug 04 2026

Tanking inspiration from Neil Young with a singer with a Bob Dylan twang. The war on drugs is lost.

The Doors by The Doors
Aug 05 2026

An enthralling masterpiece

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Aug 06 2026

It's not quite the blue album but what a voice. I'm so glad there are multiple Joni entries.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Aug 07 2026

Not keen on folk. Some lovely strings and the jazzy Poor boy rounds it to a 3

Wild Gift by X
Aug 09 2026

Really good punk rock. White Girl is the best of a great bunch

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Aug 12 2026

Proper 80s. Enjoyable listen. Reward is the single for sure.
