Jan 16 2026

Not usually one for jazz, but this was pretty good. A mix of jamming and more Andalusian feeling music. By the last track I was a bit done but I could see the value

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Jan 17 2026

Country is not necessarily my thing. But I really enjoyed the slower, calmer country. I felt like I was sitting being serenaded by a campfire or slow mo montage on a horse back home to my family.

Ten by Pearl Jam

Jan 22 2026

I can see why people like this. I however felt it was rambling and a bit much. It felt like I'd stumbled into a collection of drunks, drowning their sorrows in a bar. Not my vibe

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jan 24 2026
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Feb 03 2026
Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Feb 05 2026

Better in the last half, deserves 3.5

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Feb 06 2026

Jazz is not my vibe but I felt like a cool cat

Dookie by Green Day
Feb 07 2026

Some great songs on here but other than the songs you definitely know, it doesn't feel anything exceptional

Be by Common
Feb 10 2026
Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Feb 13 2026

Track 1: Phaedra wavers between Dune and I Who Have Never Known Men Track 2: Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares is like I'm being pulled through a worm hole Track 3: Movements of a Visionary feels like I'm trapped in a computer doing a disk defragmentation Track 4: Sequence C feels more ecclesiastical like I'm in a space cathedral I can understand why people hate it. I don't hate it. But I'm not fussed if I never hear it again

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Feb 14 2026

Felt like it wanted to be Bruce Springsteen but less successful. Some big gits but lots of just okay

Brothers by The Black Keys
Feb 17 2026
#1 Record by Big Star
Feb 20 2026

It's 70s and it just works, it felt cohesive and catchy and I'm annoyed I've only just discovered this

Feb 21 2026

Some big hits and a very certain vibe - this isn't an album held up by the 2 songs we all know

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Feb 25 2026

It's camp. It's cheesy. It references Xanadu and the then Prince Charles. It contains Relax, Two Tribes and, in my opinion, the best Christmas song ever, The Power of Love

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Feb 26 2026

Who keeps allowing Tom Waits to make albums and who keeps allowing him on this list

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Mar 02 2026

Weird, but I felt like I enjoyed it. A bit existential. As if I was trapped overthinking my life on a train.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers

So by Peter Gabriel

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 18 2026
Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Apr 24 2026

Really disjointed in it's approach and weirdly soulless? From some digging, the fact McLaren just tried to cash in on Afro-fusion and hip hop without living this may explain it.

Horses by Patti Smith
Apr 26 2026
Frank by Amy Winehouse
May 12 2026
Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jun 01 2026
B-52's by The B-52's
Jun 02 2026

I love Love Shack and Rock Lobster ... But this is not for me

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jun 07 2026

The Juno soundtrack but much too long
