A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jan 18 2026

A classic! I was 5 years old when this was first released and so I didn't listen to it seriously until much later, in my teen years. But it's been one of my favorites since the 70's.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jan 19 2026

I'm enjoying this. But it's far from perfect. There are moments of brilliance interspersed with moments of sheer meh.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jan 22 2026

I liked it a lot better than I thought I would. Hip Hop / Rap is still not my favorite genre, and I'll never be arriving home and thinking "Man I want to put on that Hip Hop album...", but I guess I have learned to tolerate it more as I've grown old.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jan 23 2026

Definitely not my favorite Kate Bush Album, a bit bombastic and half baked.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 24 2026

What can be said? It's a masterpiece, every track a gem!

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Jan 25 2026

Absolute dreck. About as close to entirely unlistenable as any record I've ever heard. I am having to be really nice to myself today after having forced myself to listen to that garbage yesterday.

Sulk by The Associates
Jan 26 2026

Interesting 80s pop. This act seems like they're trying very hard to be different. At times it works, some of the tracks are really good and engaging. Others seem to be trying too hard to be unique and end up being not fun to listen to.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 27 2026

Good old fashioned kick ass rock n roll! Love it!

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jan 28 2026

This is really interesting right off the bat. Listening to this, I can hear that he brought a lot to Massive Attack's music. It's interesting to hear his music without any of the other MA elements accompanying.

Lost Souls by Doves
Jan 29 2026

First time I've heard this album, first time I've heard this band. I'm digging it. It's got a moody, smoldering kind of vibe. Reminds me of early Radiohead.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Jan 30 2026

First time hearing this artist. Some really nice accompianment by David Rawlings. It's well recorded, the songs are well crafted. I liked it. But it's not really my cup of tea.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jan 31 2026

A proto punk classic! I really appreciate Iggy's energy and vibe. My taste runs more toward a bit more refinement. But this was really fun!

Smile by Brian Wilson
Feb 01 2026

It started out nice with our prayer and Heroes and Villains, but it got worse with every song. These songs have got some nice music, but the lyrics are stupid and annoying. The performances are good, but they end up being good performances of bad songs. Not for me.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Feb 19 2026

No one should ever have to listen to this. Pure dreck.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 20 2026

A Brit Pop Classic, a masterpiece!

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Feb 21 2026

Brings me back. I have heard this album before, not my cup of tea for the most part with a few bright spots here and there. But I can appreciate the passion.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Feb 23 2026

This is really excellent! I'm upset that I haven't heard this until now! But I'm really glad that I started this 1001 album journey!

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Brothers by The Black Keys
