Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 12 2026

I've never been a huge Michael Jackson fan, but this is a solid album. Dirty Diana and Smooth Criminal are my favorite songs. I don't know that I would add any of these to my regular rotation, but enjoyed listening to this album for the first time in many years.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jan 13 2026

This started off slow and I wasn't sure if was going to like it, but it ended with some bangers. Tricky and Walk This Way are iconic, of course and this was a good album to run to.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 14 2026

This was not for me. I would enjoy the songs as part of a movie soundtrack, but will not listen to this album again

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 15 2026

A whole album of classics sung by Willie Nelson - this is chicken soup for the ears. Easy to listen to and comforting.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jan 16 2026

I've never really been a huge Radiohead fan and this album didn't change my mind. It wasn't bad, just didn't move me at all.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 19 2026

Classic 90's vibes

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 20 2026

Love this album. Easy to listen to and comforting

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jan 22 2026

I liked it better on the second day than I did on the first. Probably won't go back to this album, though

Metallica by Metallica
Jan 26 2026

Took me back to high school. Metal isn't really my jam, but enjoyed this album all the way through.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jan 28 2026

Interesting listen. I want sure what to expect with this one, but was pleasantly surprised. Fun groove and funny lyrics

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jan 29 2026

Wasn't sure what to expect but really enjoyed this album. It's very relaxing with a bit of sci-fi thrown in.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 30 2026

Did not care for this album. It was saved by Hallelujah but only briefly.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Feb 02 2026

Easy to listen to, fun bops and good work music

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Feb 04 2026

Easy to listen to. Early 80's John Hughes movie vibes

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Feb 05 2026

I liked this album more than I thought i would. Clearly, I need to give the Dire Straits more love.

The Visitors by ABBA
Feb 06 2026

Great album, I heard some songs i hadn't heard before mixed with favorites from Mamma Mia
