Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jan 09 2026

Very beach boys and Elvis

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 12 2026
Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jan 23 2026

Not even remotely in my top Beach Boys albums. Shocked this one was chosen for the list instead of nearly any other

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jan 26 2026

I appreciate Kraftwerk but its not something I really want to listen to

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jan 30 2026

Some goods songs but overall feels dated

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 09 2026

Thought I would hate it because I hate Elvis Costellos way of singing but album was quite good

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 12 2026

Melancholy

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Feb 19 2026

Not nearly as interesting as their more famous cohorts of the era

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 27 2026

I liked Let Down. Radiohead just sound whiny. Confirmed I don’t like them

Tommy by The Who
Mar 03 2026
Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Mar 04 2026

Never heard of them but so 90s house. Very easy listening

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Mar 10 2026
Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 11 2026
Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Mar 12 2026

This was dope. Cool to hear songs that have been sampled so widely and see where they came from

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 17 2026

3 only because heart of glass and one way or another are in there. Wasn’t into other songs

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Mar 20 2026

I hate Karma Kameleon. Couldn’t get through the first three songs

25 by Adele
Mar 24 2026

Boring - probably her worst album. I Miss you and Water under the bridge are good

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Mar 30 2026

I think she’s overrated

Achtung Baby by U2
Mar 31 2026

Very of the era. Still confused why this website chooses certain artists albums over others. I’d think the Joshua Tree should be what U2 album is a must

21 by Adele
Apr 02 2026

Probably her best album though I’m more partial to 19

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Apr 03 2026

Very interesting sonically. Not sure I’d go back to it but a very good album

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Apr 24 2026

Kinda interesting. Songs with the female vocalists were good

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Apr 28 2026

Wanted to rate higher but outside the hits the other songs aren’t very interesting. Think I would have given a 4 when I was 18

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Apr 29 2026

Very cool. Very punk

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
May 06 2026

Thought Atticus finch being on it would make it interesting, I hated it

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
May 07 2026

Too whiny

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
May 11 2026

Not as good as Let it Bleed but still very good

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
May 12 2026

I like the prodigy and some of these songs are bangers but the whole album sounds the same

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 13 2026

Much better than I thought. Was expecting it to be cheesy

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
May 18 2026

Very belle and Sebastian- not my thing

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 19 2026

Seems like the type of music I’d like alla Leon bridges but just bored me

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
May 27 2026

Feel like I should have liked this more but didn’t quite do it

On The Beach by Neil Young
May 28 2026

Don’t like young’s voice but can’t deny how good the musicality and lyricism is here

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 17 2026

Every song a banger. Crazy how much their songs have been sampled

Ctrl by SZA
Jun 19 2026

Love this album but it definitely is a bit bloated and loses quality towards the back half

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 22 2026

I just don’t like Bob Marley

Jun 24 2026

I feel like it’s trendy to hate on U2. This album is genuinely iconic.

Smash by The Offspring
Jul 07 2026
Smile by Brian Wilson
Jul 08 2026

Really great rerecordings of their songs. A few songs I didn’t love

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jul 09 2026

Nothing really grabbed me. It was a good listen but forgettable

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jul 13 2026

Can’t beat GKMC but also can’t not give it a 5

The Bends by Radiohead
Jul 14 2026

Can they please stop sending me Radiohead albums

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jul 15 2026
The Yes Album by Yes
Jul 21 2026

Not bad but literally sounds like every early 70s rock band. Just boring

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 23 2026

Every song was so good. Totally understand the hype this would have caused in the 50s

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jul 27 2026

Better than a lot of 70s rock but still not my thing

Jul 30 2026

Surprised I’ve never listened to Ice T before. Really good, album, he’s got great annunciation and flow, political lyrics that still hit. Albums a little long but beats are great on it

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jul 31 2026

Was considering 4 or 5, think I have to go with 5. Such a lovely listen. Knew songs 2-3 immediately from Duncan. Hadn’t heard of John martyn before

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Aug 03 2026

Wasn’t their best

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Aug 04 2026

Something missing that’s doesn’t quite get it to a 5 but I love BB King

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Aug 05 2026

Wasn’t actually too bad but every song just seemed like they’re doing a Bowie impression

Odelay by Beck
Aug 10 2026

Pretty impressive album sound for the whitest looking dude I’ve ever seen

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Aug 13 2026

Some very good versions of their songs here. Loved the Help Me Rhonda take. Not all the songs worked but it’s still classic beach boys
