It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Jan 14 2026

I just feel like it’s missing something…idk “I’ll put the cobwebs back in place” Okay it gets better as it goes on

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 15 2026

Undeniably solid album which has quite a few songs I’ve liked on it. Revolution in the hands of yacht-rockers which I personally love

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 17 2026

It is probably not wise to judge a band against itself, but this album is limited in my mind as it competes against Jar of Flies which I am more partial to. Still solid, however, and I like the memento mori theme!

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jan 18 2026

I don’t know Cyndi, I think you say a lot of really good things in here and have a powerful message, but the 80s electro-pop kind of unnerves me. Maybe that’s the point, like how plasticky consumerism still carries a deep message, but I probably wouldn’t put it on repeat.

Pump by Aerosmith
Jan 19 2026

I hadn’t heard a lot of these songs since my childhood, sitting in the backseat of my mom’s minivan with my dad on air drums, and I’d forgotten about their existence entirely until now. Aerosmith has a LOT of good songs on this album, and now that I have remembered them my respect for Aerosmith is greatly increased.

Jan 20 2026

I like other Kanye better. I like other music better. I think the middle school locker room aura has tainted the listening experience a bit for me.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jan 21 2026

OH MY GOODNESS there are so many good songs on here that are near and dear to my heart

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jan 22 2026

Okay why is almost every song on here better than seven nation army. I don’t know if there is a great uniting theme to the album, but it’s really very good

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jan 23 2026

The Beach Boys always had something good to say. But not the best for their style, and not best of the time.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jan 24 2026

Biased from the start, but this is one the great albums. Every song is not only widely popular, but personally resonant and fits in with Led Zeppelin’s overall tone. Beautiful, haunting, and catchy.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 28 2026

Okay whatever this is Judas Priest doing their nerd rock

American Pie by Don McLean
Jan 29 2026

Don is very good at the poetic, and the piano, and the moving, and, of course, at making a song over 5 minutes that anyone is compelled to sing along with all the way through. While I like his less jaunty songs, I have more fun when Don seems to be having fun, and there is a shortage of those songs on this album.

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Jan 30 2026

This album is not on Spotify sadly, but I listened to their other one of the same era

The Next Day by David Bowie
Feb 03 2026

Biased because it’s Bowie, but also know of so many other albums by him that surpass this one.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Feb 04 2026

Good study music

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Feb 05 2026

I think if Frank Sinatra sang anything it would sound magical and fantastic. Him, 5 stars. This is probably another 3.
