All Directions by The Temptations
Jan 14 2026

Not my usual listening choice or style, but there are some goooood songs on here. Papa Was a Rolling Stone is excellent. Long and excellent.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Jan 15 2026

Not my favourite. I appreciate the history, but probably won't listen to this one again.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Jan 16 2026

That was a musical journey. And one I don't think I will take again.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jan 19 2026

Not a fan.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jan 20 2026

Didn't get to hear the whole album, but it was mostly as expected. Entertaining, but not something I'd listen to all the time. Did not know they sand Our House, but now that will be seared into my brain.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jan 22 2026

I disliked this album in 2010 and I still dislike it now. It has all the elements of things I should like and there are very similar bands that I like, but this group just feels extra whiny.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jan 23 2026

Not what I was expecting. Didn't listen to it all. Maybe it got better?

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jan 27 2026

Started out OK, then I didn't like it.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 28 2026

Classic. I love the 80's.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 29 2026

Loved this. Will listen again. Was worried it would be too slow to keep me awake at work, but I was wrong. Good stuff.

Closer by Joy Division
Jan 30 2026

Less enticing than anticipated.

Actually didn't hate it. Although, the number of times Fred Durst says "Fuck" in this album would be a great tie break question at Think Tank. I'd guess at least 200+

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 03 2026

Very good stuff. Very nostalgic. All the feels. Love.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Feb 04 2026

I recognized that first song! Very early 90's white English funk pop. Not horrendous.

1984 by Van Halen
Feb 05 2026

Love. Classic. I feel 9 years old again.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Feb 06 2026

Listened to some of it. Not my style.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Feb 09 2026

My first double up - Already listened to it. I just don't like Leonard Cohen. I don't get the appeal of his guttural spoken word. Some of the music behind his speak-singing is decent. But he is boring.

Feb 10 2026

This was pretty good. Much better, and different, than expected. Pleasantly rock-jazzy.

Infected by The The
Feb 12 2026

Much funkier than I expected. Very 80's funk-pop.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Feb 13 2026

Like a 70's precursor to The Strokes, but with more nuance and better guitar riffs. The song about suggesting someone kill themselves did not age well. Not cool.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 24 2026
Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Feb 25 2026

Very enjoyable. Much more mainstream than expected - I like the Pixies and this is similar, but enough different to give it an edge.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Feb 26 2026

This was good! I listened twice. Not quite what I expected, but I liked it.

Ctrl by SZA
Feb 27 2026

Not bad. Too much autotuning on some of the voices. Why do they do that?

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 05 2026

Owned this on CD and it still holds up. Lovely music to work by.

Dare! by The Human League
Mar 06 2026

Reasonable, but not my favourite of the New Wave genre

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Mar 09 2026

Moderately nostalgic, which made this better than I would have thought. Probably won't listen to it again.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Mar 11 2026

This was really dreary. These dudes need to surf more.

Kenza by Khaled
Mar 16 2026

Surprisingly eclectic. I really enjoyed this one. Not something I would have ever listened to otherwise, but quite pleased that it came up today. Pepped up my dreary, rainy Monday.

Debut by Björk
Mar 23 2026

Quirky. As expected.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 27 2026

Meh

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Mar 30 2026

I have no idea why people like this crap. He sounds like a traveling minstrel. So f-ing boring.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Apr 01 2026

Refreshingly feminist and some great harmonies.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Apr 02 2026

More stuff on here that I knew than I expected. Fun.

Atomizer by Big Black
Apr 03 2026

not good

Close To You by Carpenters
Apr 08 2026

Pleasantly nostalgic.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Apr 14 2026

A Radiohead album I've never listened to. Good, but not their best.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 24 2026

Jammy

Apr 29 2026

This was fucking awful. This shouldn't be an album. It shouldn't have been released.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
May 01 2026

Kind of whiny, but was she prescient about "I am Ironman"?

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
May 05 2026
D by White Denim
May 06 2026

Surprisingly good. Wasn't what I expected.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
May 07 2026

This was really good! Why haven't I listened to this more?

Sulk by The Associates
May 11 2026

This was aptly named

Synchronicity by The Police
May 14 2026

Mostly good, but what was with that "Mother" song? Weird stuff.

Boston by Boston
May 25 2026

Very excellent

En-Tact by The Shamen
May 29 2026

Very indicative of early 90's Euro-Electronic

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 01 2026

Not great

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jun 02 2026

Meh...

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 04 2026

Screamy - So, pretty much as expected.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jun 10 2026

I strongly dislike this band. Sounds like clown metal.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jun 19 2026

Hypnotic and chill

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jun 25 2026

Very soulful and quite enjoyable.

Third by Soft Machine
Jun 29 2026

Couldn't get through the first song

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jun 30 2026
Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 09 2026
Parklife by Blur
Jul 29 2026

Classic and entertaining
