The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

I really enjoyed this album. Janelle Monae is so talented. I've only heard one album by her prior to this but wow this one might be a new favorite.

What the hell is this. I just kept imagining Charlie Day singing this. Actually I'd like this better if Charlie was singing.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jan 02 2026

It's surprising that this is the first time I've ever fully listened through a Nirvana album. I've known their singles from listening to the radio but never have gone out my way to listen to a full album. So, I recognized 4/12 of the songs on In Utero. It's honestly everything I'd expect from a Nirvana album.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 05 2026

I've listened to Bruce Springsteen before, he's just never been my style I guess. So I went into this album not expecting to enjoy it. I was glad to find I did enjoy it after all. It was a nice album to listen through while going out for a morning walk.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 07 2026

Yep this is definitely a Michael Jackson album

The Score by Fugees
Jan 12 2026

I love this album

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 13 2026

Another Springsteen album? Well once again I have been surprised and actually really like this. Might be my favorite out of the albums I've listened to so far by Springsteen.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Jan 14 2026

This album is so long. It's got some great songs on it, but by the 20th song I was ready for it to end. Pretty interesting that Rundgren did all the vocals and instruments himself for about 3/4ths of the album. I think I'll listen to this album again but maybe in bits at a time.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jan 15 2026

Incredible and influential album

Jan 16 2026

Never watched or even heard of the movie this soundtrack was created for. It has an interesting sound, good sort of background music. Kinda gave me Pink Floyd vibes for a few of the songs? Like there's a sort of experimental, atmospheric rock sound. I like it.

London Calling by The Clash
Jan 19 2026

I only knew only two songs on this album going into it, but a few others stuck out to me as I listened. It's a fantastic album and I really appreciate what the band stands for.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jan 20 2026

Harmonica has got to be the most obnoxious instrument. Although honestly it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so intrusive. Every time the harmonica comes in, it is the loudest thing on the album. If it wasn't so loud I probably wouldn't mind as much. Besides the harmonica, I overall don't care too much for this album. I really can't decide if I hate Dylan's voice. I tried to focus more on the lyrics, but his voice just takes me out of it. I recognized Stuck Inside of Mobile from the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Also I was like "I know I've heard of a leopard skin pillbox hat before" and it's because Death Grips used the reference in a song title. If anything, I appreciate getting the chance to listen to this album, regardless of my personal preference.

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Jan 21 2026

A very slow and quiet album. Beautiful but I am ready to take a nap now.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jan 22 2026

This album definitely makes me think 60s. I've heard of The Byrds but never listened to them. I enjoyed this album.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jan 23 2026

Finally some metal! I love Iron Maiden.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jan 26 2026

This is a fun album. Only song I recognized is We Are Family. Lost In Music is my favorite song from the album. Some of the slower songs took me out but overall I enjoyed this.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jan 28 2026

This album makes me want to dance. Which checks out because apparently it was the best selling salsa album of its time. When I first saw the album cover I wasn't sure what to expect. But I really enjoyed this album, it was nice to listen to as I went for a walk on a beautiful sunny day.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jan 29 2026

Not a bad album but also not sure what qualified it for this list.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jan 30 2026

I love this album and I'm happy to see it's on this list. 🖕🧊🖕🍊

The Yes Album by Yes
Feb 02 2026

Pretty good album! I think Yes is a great band.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Feb 03 2026

I really enjoyed this album. Janelle Monae is so talented. I've only heard one album by her prior to this but wow this one might be a new favorite.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Feb 04 2026

Another fun album by The Pogues. I can't believe out of 1000+ albums, I get the two by this artist less than a month apart from each other.

The Bends by Radiohead
Feb 09 2026

Not my favorite Radiohead album but still a good one

Fragile by Yes
Feb 10 2026

What a great album

Electric by The Cult
Feb 11 2026

This is such generic, radio friendly rock.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Feb 12 2026

I love this album so much. It's such a perfect album and one of the best concept albums I've ever heard.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Feb 13 2026

Unsure how I feel about this album. I really like the instrumentals but I'm a bit mixed on the vocals.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Feb 16 2026

I recognized two songs off this album: Breakdown and American Girl. Pretty solid classic rock album.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Feb 17 2026

I recognized Le Freak and I Want Your Love. At Last I Am Free almost completely took me out of this album. Thankfully, the last two tracks were bangers.

Black Metal by Venom
Feb 18 2026

A very influential album for metal. Some lyrics were a bit cheesy but that's just the 80s lol.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Feb 20 2026

I may come back to this album for a second listen. Really enjoyed a lot of the songs.

Blur by Blur
Feb 23 2026

Got bored of this album kinda fast. I've heard Song 2 hundreds of times before. A few songs stuck out to me but not enough to make me want to revisit this album.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Mar 05 2026

A very influential album in regards to electronic music. I find it funny that Wikipedia says this is his first album not intended for use as a soundtrack. It very much sounds like it could be used as a soundtrack lol. I enjoy early synthesizer music and this is a great album.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 09 2026
Violator by Depeche Mode
Mar 11 2026

I love this album

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 12 2026

Jethro Tull has been on my radar for a while but I never got around to listening to them. Great album.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Mar 13 2026

I was sitting in the lobby of a car dealership while my car was getting an oil change, listening to this album on my earbuds. Suddenly the music stopped, but my bluetooth was still connected. I realized it auto connected to my car. So it's very likely the service person saw "Post Orgasmic Chill" on the screen of my car. Not a bad album.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Mar 16 2026

Amy Winehouse deserved better.

Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 17 2026
Tommy by The Who
Mar 18 2026
Play by Moby
Mar 23 2026
Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Mar 25 2026

I enjoyed this album way more than I expected to

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Mar 31 2026

In all the years that I've heard Bittersweet Symphony on the radio, I've never once thought "I want to hear more by this artist" the album is fine I guess but not really my thing.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Apr 02 2026

I like the Cha Cha Cha song

Young Americans by David Bowie
Apr 08 2026

Young Americans is one of my least favorite songs ever so that has prevented me from ever fully enjoying this album. Sorry Bowie.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Apr 09 2026

Idk I think I need to listen to this album when I'm not super tired

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Apr 15 2026

I love 2000s era rnb and this sounds exactly like I expected it to

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 16 2026
1999 by Prince
Apr 20 2026
Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Apr 27 2026

I love this.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Apr 29 2026

Actually enjoyed a few songs but overall I'm not sure why this album is on the list.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
May 01 2026

Maybe a hot take but I think Pretty Hate Machine is a better album

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
May 15 2026

The *other* grunge band from Washington state

Smash by The Offspring
May 28 2026
Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 02 2026

Good album but I am tired of hearing Brass in Pocket.

Jun 05 2026

What the hell is this. I just kept imagining Charlie Day singing this. Actually I'd like this better if Charlie was singing.

Green by R.E.M.
Jun 08 2026
Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jun 12 2026
Debut by Björk
Jun 15 2026
Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 18 2026

Forgive me, Simon and Garfunkel. This just isn't doing it for me.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 22 2026
Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jul 15 2026
