Listening session: january 28th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: not really Thoughts: the more familiar I get with Led Zeppelin, the more I understand that people compare Greta Van Fleet to them.

Listening session: february 4th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: I’m at a point in my life where I’m trying to appreciate jazz more.

Listening session: february 9th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: PJ, I was not familiar with your game. And Thom Yorke brings this album to an even higher level Favourite tracks: A Place Called Home, Beautiful Feeling & This Mess We’re In

Listening session: february 10th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: this sounds like classic 90s Britpop but then with more interesting chord progressions and instrumentals so it’s quite nice to listen to Favourite tracks: A Design For Life, Enola / Alone & Small Black Flowers That Grow in the Sky

Listening session: february 11th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: this is definitely not my preferred genre because everything just sounds bland to me but it was nice that they put a female singer on this as well because she sounds nice Favourite tracks: Birds and Ships & Another Man’s Done Gone

Listening session: february 12th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: oof this is not my cup of tea. Normally I can appreciate some more experimental music but this just sounds like music they use for ecstatic dancing Favourite track: Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road

Listening session: february 13th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard a couple songs before Thoughts: I agree that most songs sound exactly alike but I don’t really mind because it puts you in a good mood while listening to it Favourite tracks: Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend & Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue

istening session: february 14th, while making and eating lunch Listened to before: no Thoughts: at first I didn’t know that this was a project of Damon Albarn so it was weird to hear him sing on something that didn’t sound like material from Gorillaz or Blur. I really liked the chord progressions and instrumentals on some tracks Favourite tracks: Herculean, Nature Springs & The Good, The Bad And The Queen

Listening session: february 15th, while going for a walk Listened to before: listened to a few songs before Thoughts: the more harmonies, the better in my opinion Favourite tracks: Bridge Over Troubled Water, So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright & The Boxer

Listening session: february 16th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard some songs before Thoughts: I have to admit that I never really gave Pink Floyd a real chance so this was my first time listening to this entire album. I really liked how the songs flow into each other and while I don’t think this is the best album ever made, I do see why this is such a classic Favourite tracks: Breathe (In the Air), The Great Gig In The Sky & Us And Them

Listening session: february 17th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: yes many times Thoughts: this is not the type of music I would listen to today, but I’ve listened to Adele a lot when I was younger. It’s quite nostalgic to hear these songs and some are undeniable classics so therefore this album deserves 4 stars Favourite tracks: Rumour Has It, Lovesong & Someone Like You

Listening session: february 18th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: yes listened to most songs before but not to the entire album Thoughts: I love Radiohead and while this is not my favourite album of theirs, I can appreciate the different path they went on with this album and it still contains a lot of songs I love Favourite tracks: Everything in Its Right Place, Optimistic & Motion Picture Soundtrack

Listening session: february 19th, while commuting from and to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: I only know the Black Keys because of Little Black Submarines, so I had high expectations.

Listening session: february 20th, while going for a walk Listened to before: listened to a few songs before Thoughts: I love Norah Jones’ voice and this album is really relaxing but I wouldn’t see myself listening to this other than on the background Favourite tracks: Don’t Know Why, Come Away With Me & The Nearness Of You

Listening session: february 21st, while getting ready in the morning and while getting ready for bed Listened to before: no Thoughts: I’ve never really listened to the White Stripes and this solo album is not my type of music either Favourite track: Blunderbuss

Listening session: february 22nd, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: I mainly liked the first couple of songs because I’m a sucker for groovy bass lines but other than that this album didn’t wow me Favourite track: (We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang & Penthouse And Pavement

Listening session: february 23rd, while sitting in the train Listened to before: no Thoughts: undeniably a classic and it must have been really influential at the time but it’s not the type of music I’d listen to on a daily basis Favourite tracks: Blueberry Hill & Blue Monday

Listening session: february 24th, while sitting in the train Listened to before: no Thoughts: expected a bit of hipster 00s music and I was correct, but I was pleasantly surprised by the intro of the first track and the piano stuff. I could see myself listening to it on a sunny day Favourite tracks: Punchbag, Zia & Sky Holds the Sun

Listening session: february 25th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: this made me like blues more than I would’ve thought and I bet it would’ve been great to witness this live Favourite tracks: Every Day I Have The Blues & How Blue Can You Get?

Listening session: february 26th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: I’ve always disliked Kiss and I tried to give this album an honest chance, but this is just not it for me Favourite track: Detroit Rock City

Listening session: february 27th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: so this is quite an album for someone who’s not really into jazz. I’m trying to get more into it though and while I can appreciate the musicality, this was a bit intense and long to listen to Favourite tracks: Spanish Key & Miles Runs the Voodoo Down

Listening session: february 28th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: listened to some songs before Thoughts: I’ve always been into moody and depressed music so naturally I like The Cure. I didn’t know this whole album but was pleasantly suprised Favourite tracks: Lovesong, Fascination Street & Untitled

Listening session: march 1st, while running errands Listened to before: no Thoughts: going into this I kept in mind that Solange has had advantages because of het sister, but this album was actually quite nice to listen to Favourite tracks: Cranes in the Sky, Mad & Borderline (An Ode to Self Care)

Listening session: march 2nd, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: Fleetwood Mac is always nice to listen to but I’d only put on this specific album in the background because this didn’t wow me Favourite tracks: Sara & Storms

Listening session: march 3rd, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: I grew up with Stoosh because my mom loves Skunk Anansie, but I’ve actually never listened to this album. While I still prefer Stoosh, this album is great and has a good diversity of songs Favourite tracks: Secretly, On My Hotel TV & The Skank Heads

Listening session: march 4th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: listened to one song before Thoughts: of course Don’t You Want Me is a banger, but the rest is quite forgettable and just classic 80s stuff Favourite track: Don’t You Want Me

Listening session: march 5th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: not bad to listen to but on the other hand not something I would put on more often I think Favourite track: Dirt

Listening session: march 6th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: heard a few songs before Thoughts: I would give this a 4/5 because of the funkiness but I found the majority of the songs too long so that’s why I have to give a 3/5 Favourite tracks: 1999 & D.M.S.R.

Listening session: march 8th/9th, while getting ready at night and in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: this was definitely not something I could appreciate at 5.30 am, just too much anxiety inducing noise. I think if I would be in the right mood then this could be a 2/5 but for now this is a 1/5 for me unfortunately Favourite track: Human Cannonball

Listening session: march 9th, while commuting to internship and while studying Listened to before: no Thoughts: I can see how this would be great during the early 90s, but now most of it sounds outdated except for some bangers Favourite tracks: Move Any Mountian & Hyperreal Selector

Listening session: march 9th, while commuting back home from internship Listened to before: have listened a lot to some songs Thoughts: 5 stars for Brian Wilsons harmonies alome. My life has been changed when I first heard breakdown of all the layers Favourite tracks: God Only Knows, Wouldn’t It Be Nice & I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times

Listening session: march 10th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: I appreciate the variety on this album but everything sounds a bit too polished for my liking Favourite tracks: Devil’s Haircut & Ramshackle

Listening session: march 11th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: weirdly enough this album combines 90s dance and dreamy 60s pop quite well so I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this as much as I did Favourite tracks: Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Spring & Nothing Can Stop Us

Listening session: march 12th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: never heard of Dead Kennedys but I quite liked that the album is short but dense with political punk songs Favourite tracks: I Kill Children & Holiday In Cambodia

Listening session: march 13th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: a great folk album with fun influences from around the world. My favourite part has to be the cuica that is being used on Me And Julio Down by the Schoolyard Favourite tracks: Duncan, Run That Body Down & Me And Julio Down by the Schoolyard

Listening session: march 14th, while eating breakfast and getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: I’ve always liked soul music and this album is a relatively short but effective album with lots of soulful sounds and a great voice from Curtis Mayfield Favourite tracks: When Seasons Change, So in Love & Love to the People

Listening session: march 15th, while going for a walk Listened to before: no Thoughts: look I agree with everyone that the production is great and she’s not a bad singer, but nevertheless this didn’t do much for me Favourite track: Better

Listening session: march 16th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: listened many times to a few songs before Thoughts: I really like Elliott Smith’s music and I’ve never actually listened to this album in its entirety. While I still think I prefer Either/Or, this album has a lot of great tracks Favourite tracks: Somebody That I Used To Know, L.A. & Better Be Quiet Now

Listening session: march 17th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard a couple of songs before Thoughts: some of the guitar riffs and instrumentals are nice but the screaming vocals got a bit repetitive after a while so it’s not something I would listen to regularly Favourite tracks: A New Level & This Love

Listening session: march 18th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: I’ve never listened to this particular album but it’s a classic case of separating the art from the artist because I really like The Smiths Favourite tracks: Death of a Disco Dancer, Last Night I Dreamed That Someone Loved Me & I Won’t Share You

Listening session: march 19th, while commuting home from internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: I always love funk and motown and this album was really nice to listen to while sitting in the train and watching the sun set Favourite tracks: Runaway Child, Running Wild, Hey Girl & I Need Your Lovin’

Listening session: march 20th, while commuting home from internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: classic Simon & Garfunkel album with lots of nice melodies and harmonies but it’s not something that really stands out to me Favourite tracks: Scarborough Fair / Canticle, Homeward Bound & The Dangling Conversation

Listening session: march 21th, while getting ready and making lunch Listened to before: no Thoughts: great band name and okay music, but nothing too memorable Favourite tracks: Go Be Delighted & Let Me Come Back

Listening session: march 22th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: there are some great harmonies and some nice guitar work, but unfortunately that was not enough for me all of the time Favourite tracks: Orleans, Tamalpais High (At About 3) & Traction in the Rain

Listening session: march 23th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard a few songs before Thoughts: I like the guitar work on this album and I can imagine how they were big in the garage scene of the 00s, but still I don’t see myself coming back to this album frequently in the future Favourite tracks: Seven Nation Army, I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself & Black Math

Listening session: march 24th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: listened many times to most songs before Thoughts: it’s quite impossible to choose which tracks are my favourite because I love this album in its entirety. There are few albums that are this sexy and soulful and have Marvin Gaye’s smooth vocals at the same time, which makes it an undeniable 5/5 Favourite tracks: Just To Keep You Satisfied, If I Should Die Tonight & Let’s Get It On

Listening session: march 25th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard a few songs before Thoughts: soooo I actually love feminist grunge/rock even more than I thought and this album was a really pleasant surprise in the early morning, so I think I will be revisiting this album soon Favourite tracks: Violet, Doll Parts & She Walks On Me

Listening session: march 26th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: a bit too boring and American for me Favourite tracks: Thrasher & Sail Away

Listening session: march 27th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard some songs before Thoughts: just over a week ago I got my first Smiths album on here and now already my second. As someone who likes their music I’m not mad about it (like I said: separate the art from the artist in this case). I especially liked the bass lines on this album Favourite tracks: The Headmaster Ritual, That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore & Barbarism Begins at Home

Listening session: march 28th, while eating lunch and running errands Listened to before: listened to one song many times before Thoughts: I’ve loved Groove Is in the Heart since I was a child and while the rest of this album is still groovy, it’s not as catchy as that song is unfortunately Favourite tracks: Groove Is in the Heart & Good Beat

Listening session: march 29th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: of course Smoke On The Water has an iconic guitar riff bu that actually wasn’t even my favourite track of this album. I quite enjoyed some of the organ work and guitar solos on here Favourite tracks: Highway Star & Lazy

Listening session: march 30th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: listened to a few songs before Thoughts: I was contemplating whether to give this 4 or 5 stars mostly because of the skits. So I’ll rate this without considering the skits, which makes this album an undeniable 5 stars because biggies flow is unmatched and I’m a sucker for 90s east-coast hiphop Favourite tracks: Things Done Changed, Everyday Struggle & Big Poppa

Listening session: march 31th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: I’ve had multiple jazz albums with the generator and I still find it difficult to fully understand and enjoy jazz. I liked some tracks on this album but I also found some parts too long and boring Favourite tracks: My Man’s Gone Now & Alice In Wonderland - Take 2

Listening session: april 1st, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: so I learned a new instrument today: the Ondes Martenot (which I thought was a theremin based on sound). This album is a nice change from the other genres on here and I really appreciate the amount of passion that Jacques Brel sings with Favourite tracks: Amsterdam, Les vieux & Le plat pays

Listening session: april 2nd, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: I only realized a few songs in that these are covers. That makes sense now because I like the songs, but the the country style of singing not so much. Some songs are still pleasant to listen to though Favourite tracks: Stardust, Blue Skies & September Song

Listening session: april 3rd, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard a few songs before Thoughts: I really liked some of the songs as she’s obviously a great songwriter but the falsetto threw me off sometimes Favourite tracks: Little Green, Carey & River

Listening session: april 4th, while buying groceries and eating lunch Listened to before: heard a few songs before Thoughts: Mariah Carey is obviously a great singer but these songs are really mediocre and some of them are way over the top Favourite track: My All

Listening session: april 5th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: so this is my second Willie Nelson album in four days, which is a bit much for someone who dislikes country music…. I have to say that I liked the other album better because those were all covers instead of true country songs Favourite tracks: Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain & Bandera

Listening session: april 6th, while crocheting Listened to before: listened to some songs before Thoughts: just like most people on here I prefer the later Beatles stuff so I don’t listen to their earlier albums that much, but I quite enjoyed this album. The harmonies are really nice and of course the songwriting is top tier Favourite tracks: If I Fell, And I Love Her & It’s A Hard Day’s Night

Listening session: april 7th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: some parts were enjoyable but quite frequently her voice became annoying and too theatrical for my liking Favourite tracks: Lu & Stoned Soul Picnic

Listening session: april 8th, while going for a walk Listened to before: listened to one song before Thoughts: I’m a big sucker for bossa nova and samba so I’ll always love Stan Getz. While I never listened to this album in total before, this album is no exception Favourite tracks: Desafinado, Samba Triste & E Luxo So

Listening session: april 9th, while going for a walk Listened to before: listened to one song before Thoughts: I just love 60s songs with lots of harmonies and especially when it contains Cass Elliot’s voice Favourite tracks: Monday, Monday, Got A Feelin’ & California Dreamin’

Listening session: april 10th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: listened to a few songs before Thoughts: my 100th album on this project and what a great one for that! As I said before, I love hiphop and this album is a great example of covers and sampling done right Favourite tracks: Zealots, Killing Me Softly With His Song & The Mask

Listening session: april 11th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: my birthday album! It’s nice to hear some world music on here, but I find it disappointing that it’s from a soundtrack. While I appreciate to hear something I’m not really familiar with, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped (maybe I have to watch the movie to fully appreciate this soundtrack) Favourite tracks: Romantic Theme (Shalimar) & Hum Bewafa Hargiz Na Thay (Happy)

Listening session: april 12th, while solving a puzzle Listened to before: no Thoughts: god I didn’t like the first Ryan Adams album I got on here and now I had to put myself through this again for a really long 89 minutes. Long story short, I’m not a fan Favourite track: Goodnight, Hollywood Blvd.

Listening session: april 13th, while going for a walk Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: I didn’t know Solomon Burke before listening to this album but he has a really nice voice for soulful music Favourite tracks: Cry to Me, Goodbye Baby (Baby Goodbye) & He’ll Have to Go

Listening session: april 14th, while going for a walk Listened to before: no Thoughts: I rarely listen to electronic music but this album really set the mood for an energetic walk. I especially liked that the whole album felt like one big continuous music set instead of separate tracks. This made it hard to choose a favourite track though Favourite tracks: Leave Home & In Dust We Trust

Listening session: april 15th, while going for a walk Listened to before: no Thoughts: After reading a bit about true album I understand that this is influential but I did not find it really enjoyable to listen to. I imagine that this is a genre that I could appreciate more when hearing/seeing it live Favourite tracks: Land Of Treason & Lexicon Devil

Listening session: april 19th, while flying back home from London Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: I’ve never truly understood Pink Floyd and while I appreciate some of their music after listening to two of their albums on this project, I’m still not a fan. I liked The Dark Side of the Moon better than this album, although I like the guitar parts on the starting and ending track of this album Favourite track: Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-

Listening session: april 20th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: Sarah Vaughan has a great voice and this type of music is nice to listen to (especially on the background), but it doesn’t stand out to me in any way Favourite tracks: September In The Rain & Be Anything But Darling Be Mine

Listening session: april 20th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: so this is not really my thing, I found it a bit too eclectic and noisy for the early morning. I was surprised though to see that this dates back to 1974 as it sounds quite different from everything I’ve heard from that era. Favourite tracks: Amateur Hour & Here In Heaven

Listening session: april 20th, while commuting home from internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: this album has some nice songs but I couldn’t really get into it because of the aged voice of Bowie. Unfortunately you can hear quite well that he’s way past his prime with this album Favourite tracks: Love Is Lost & Where Are We Now

Listening session: april 21st, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: this was a quite refreshing album to listen to compared to some other things I’ve heard on here and I’m not even a big fan of electronic music. The second half of this album is weak compared to the first tracks though in my opinion, but still a nice listen Favourite tracks: Honey, Porcelain & Natural Blues

Listening session: april 21st, while commuting home from internship Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: Sunshine Of Your Love is a banger, but the rest of the album is a bit repetitive and is more something I would play in the background because it’s not that interesting Favourite tracks: Sunshine Of Your Love & Tales Of Brave Ulysses

Listening session: april 22nd, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: groovy, cool, relaxed and interesting. And the guy’s got a great artist name as well! This album is a nice gem to have discovered with this project Favourite tracks: Inspiration Information, Island Letter & Strawberry Letter 23

Listening session: april 23rd, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: this is a good punk album but it didn’t stand out to me and I don’t really know why. Maybe I was not really in the mood for it or something Favourite tracks: I Just Can’t Be Happy Today & Anti-Pope

Listening session: april 24th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: I’ve never listened much to Led Zeppelin, but man this album is great. The guitar work is top notch and I really like how they made songs their own when covering something Favourite tracks: Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, Dazed and Confused, Good Times Bad Times

Listening session: april 25th, while going grocery shopping and while eating dinner Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: I like to hear a late 80s album from a female solo artist on here. While I like the typical 80s production and while I agree that Neneh Cherry mixes rap and pop well, this didn’t hit me as much as I hoped Favourite tracks: Buffalo Stance & Manchild

Listening session: april 26th, while getting ready in the morning and while going for a walk Listened to before: no Thoughts: this was just too noisy for me to enjoy. Only after listening I discovered that Nick Cave was in this band, but that was nog enough to improve my score Favourite track: Hamlet (Pow Pow Pow)

Listening session: april 27th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: of course I agree that Bob Dylan is a good musician and a great songwriter in particular, but I really don’t enjoy his singing so that’s why I find it hard to trilt appreciate his music Favourite tracks: Like a Rolling Stone & Ballad of a Thin Man

Listening session: april 28th, while chilling at home Listened to before: no Thoughts: this feels like it belongs on the soundtrack of a black and white vintage romance movie. The only downside of this album is that it’s quite long and therefore becomes a bit repetitive Favourite tracks: You Don’t Know Me, You Are My Sunshine & Teardrops In My Heart

Listening session: april 29th, while going for a walk Listened to before: no Thoughts: this album is a nice mix of classic 80s synths and Cure-like tracks. Nothing outstanding, but it’s not bad to listen to Favourite tracks: Guilty Partner, All The Way & Dream Attack

Listening session: april 30th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: no Thoughts: too much noise for me… I almost fave up when the glass shattering started. There were Some okay moments in between though (for example Street Waves) Favourite track: Street Waves

Listening session: may 1st, while commuting to internship Listened to before: listened to a few songs many times Thoughts: I’ve always really liked a few De La Soul songs, but I’ve never actually listened to this album in total. I liked this just as I expected, hiphop with groovy instrumentals, and this album is an undeniable classic in the hiphop scene Favourite tracks: (3 is) The Magic Number, Buddy & Me Myself and I

Listening session: may 2nd, while eating breakfast and while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: when I saw the album title, I kind of hoped that this would be a samba/bossa nova album. This turned out to be an interesting mix of electronic music with brazilian influences, which is not as much my thing as a true bossa nova album, but nevertheless interesting to discover Favourite tracks: Samba do Gringo Paulista, Você Gosta & Felicidade

Listening session: may 3rd, while chilling at home Listened to before: no Thoughts: I like some of the guitar work but this whole album feels like the same psychedelic rock track over and over again Favourite tracks: Who Do You Love - Pt. 1 & How You Love

Listening session: may 4th, while chilling at home Listened to before: no Thoughts: this is the type of music that I like to hear on this project. While it’s not something I’d listen to regularly, I really enioyed discovering something new Favourite track: Zombie

Listening session: may 5th, while chilling at home Listened to before: no Thoughts: I wanted to give this a 3/5 based on the music (which I felt pretty neutral about) but then I learned that this album sexualizes an underage girl….. Favourite track: Melody

Listening session: may 6th, while eating lunch Listened to before: listened to one song before Thoughts: so now I’ve gotten the first three albums of Led Zeppelin on here, and as someone who hasn’t listened to them before (besides their biggest songs), it’s difficult to say which album I like the most. Let’s wait until I’ve gotten IV on here. Either way, this album was really enjoyable Favourite tracks: Whole Lotta Love, Thank You & Ramble On

Listening session: may 7th, while going for a walk Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: there were indeed a lot of bongos, and while I appreciated the groovy percussion, I think this album could’ve been a lot shorter Favourite tracks: Apache, In A Gadda Da Vida & Bongolia

Listening session: may 8th, while going for a walk Listened to before: listened to a few songs before Thoughts: one of the most iconic hiphop debut albums. I’ve always really likes Ms Lauryn Hill, but there are a few songs on this album that do not grab me enough so therefore this is a 4/5 Favourite tracks: Ex-Factor, Doo Wop (That Thing) & Nothing Even Matters

Listening session: may 9th, while cleaning Listened to before: no Thoughts: this was just boring, not something that belongs on this list in my opinion Favourite track: On Hold

Listening session: may 10th, while chilling at home Listened to before: no Thoughts: this is not my genre, but when I’m in the right mood I can enjoy a track or two. Not an entire album though Favourite track: Elektrobank

Listening session: may 11th, while shopping Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: som parts of this album are iconic, but other than that this is not something I would listen to again. Not the best Rolling Stones album Favourite tracks: Gimme Shelter & You Can’t Always Get What You Want

Listening session: may 12th, while going for a walk Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: I’m not a Bowie fan, and while this album must’ve been ahead of its time, I did not enioy it. “Heroes” is a great song though Favourite tracks: “Heroes” & Blackout

Listening session: may 14th, while crocheting Listened to before: no Thoughts: at points a bit boring, but otherwise an easy and average album to listen to with a few nice parts Favourite tracks: Speedboat, Down On Mission Street & Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken?

Listening session: may 15th, while crocheting Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: Paul McCartney’s songwriting is so good, I really enjoyed this album Favourite tracks: Band On The Run, Bluebird & No Words

Listening session: may 16th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: I can appreciate to hear world music on here, but this album’s not for me. The sitar’s nice for a few songs but not for 40 minutes Favourite track: Mamata (Affection)

Listening session: may 17th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: my second Roxy Music album on this project and I’m always misled by the campy album covers, as the music itself doesn’t really interest me Favourite tracks: Ladytron & Virginia Plain

Listening session: may 18th, while crocheting Listened to before: listened to one song before Thoughts: Tracy Chapman has got a great voice and Fast Car will forever be iconic, but this wasb’t anything more than just enjoyable for me Favourite tracks: Fast Car, Baby Can I Hold You & For You

Listening session: may 20th, while mealprepping Listened to before: no Thoughts: I was a bit scared when I saw this album contains 28 songs, but it turns out that they’re more like unfinished demos, sometimes even under a minute. Not really bad but not my style either Favourite tracks: As We Go Up, We Go Down, Game Of Pricks & My Son Cool

Listening session: may 21st, while crocheting and cooking dinner Listened to before: listened to a few songs before Thoughts: I’m a big Stevie Wonder fan so of course I like this album, but it’s definitely not my favourite of his Favourite tracks: You Are The Sunshine Of My Life, You And I & Superstition

Listening session: may 22nd, while going for a walk Listened to before: listened to this album many times Thoughts: not my absolute favourite Beatles album but still so so good (the A side is goated), that’s why I can’t give this anything other than five stars Favourite tracks: Something, Here Comes The Sun & Because

Listening session: may 23rd, while going grocery shopping and cooking dinner Listened to before: heard two tracks before Thoughts: I only realised halfway in that this album is the soundtrack for the Virgin Suicides.

Listening session: may 25th, while eating breakfast and getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: this must be some really good jazz (like the drum solo in Skin Deep), and I liked some parts, but 2 hours was too long for me to enjoy Favourite tracks: Pt. I-Festival Junction, Pt. II-Blues to Be There & Skin Deep

Listening session: may 26th, while eating breakfast and getting ready in the morning Listened to before: listened to two songs before Thoughts: still not a huge fan of Bob Dylan, but I enjoyed this album more than the other ones I’ve gotten on here Favourite tracks: Blowin’ in the Wind, Girl from the North Country & Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right

Listening session: may 28th, while cooking dinner Listened to before: no Thoughts: although I don’t want to support Marilyn Manson (that took down my rating), I actually really enjoyed this album. It was nice to hear something a bit heavier on here. Side note: I never knew The Will Of The People by Muse was so heavily influenced by Marilyn Manson Favourite tracks: The Beautiful People, Mister Superstar & The Reflecting God

Listening session: may 29th, while going for a walk Listened to before: listened to a few songs before Thoughts: one of the most iconic album covers ever in my opinion, and the music is interesting and experimental so I can see why this is influential Favourite tracks: Sunday Morning, Femme Fatale & I’ll Be Your Mirror

Listening session: may 30th, while drinking coffee Listened to before: no Thoughts: Dinosaur Jr. is a killer band name. The music is fun (especially the guitarwork), but it’s not something I would listen to regularly Favourite tracks: Little Fury Thing, The Lung & In A Jar

Listening session: may 31th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: not necessarily bad, but this is quite forgettable 60s music Favourite tracks: When You Awake & Whispering Pines

Listening session: june 2nd, while reading Listened to before: listened to one song before Thoughts: the definition of sweet teenage pop and I’m definitely not the right person for that. Also, every song sounded the same Favourite track: …Baby One More Time

Listening session: june 5th, while buying groceries Listened to before: listened to this album many times before Thoughts: an absolute classic album that I’ve listened to many times. The combination of Amy Winehouse’s soulful voice, Mark Ronson’s great production and the timeless songwriting is really special Favourite tracks: Back To Black, Love Is A Losing Game & Tears Dry On Their Own

Listening session: june 6th, while making dinner Listened to before: no Thoughts: this would be nice to listen to if I was trying to get into a meditative state during yoga but definitely not for a regular listen. Maybe I will revisit this album if I have important work to do Favourite track: 1/2

Listening session: june 7th, while making dinner Listened to before: no Thoughts: i can enjoy some Britpop from time to time, but this was not it for me. It’s not necessarily bad but it’s so average that it’s forgettable Favourite tracks: The Fear & I’m A Man

Listening session: june 11th, while getting ready and making lunch Listened to before: no Thoughts: this album must be nice if you’re American, but I’m not and I’ve never liked country music. So this album was definitely not my cup of tea Favourite track: Streets of Laredo

Listening session: june 14th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: if I’m in the right mood then Depeche Mode is nice, but this album didn’t stand out to me Favourite tracks: Never Let Me Down Again, Behind The Wheel & Nothing

Listening session: june 15th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: I quite liked the mix of genres here, because the punk sound combines well with funk influences. The album’s too long for me to pay attention though Favourite tracks: Cohesion, Corona & History Lesson Part 2

Listening session: june 15th, while eating dinner Listened to before: no Thoughts: I know it’s the Rolling Stones, but I’ve never been a fan of them, and this is not even their best work so I found this album annoying Favourite tracks: Take It Or Leave It & Lady Jane

Listening session: june 16th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: nice indie album with some catchy song and some forgettable ones, but it’s good for staring out of the window like you’re in a movie Favourite tracks: Seeing Other People, Like Dylan in the Movies & The Fox in the Snow

Could not listen on vacation, will listen later
