London Calling by The Clash
Jan 13 2026

Overall, a nice, easy-listening album. The title song probably is the strongest.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 14 2026

A normal, easy listening album, but not very memorable.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 15 2026

A pretty heavy album, but sounds good - angry, vivid and powerful. Listening all songs back-to-back was a bit hard on the ears, but overall a decent album.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 16 2026

Great rock album, fun, steady beat that makes you shake your head in sync with the rythm. Gimme All Your Lovin’ and Sharp Dressed Man are classics, certified bangers. Overall, very strong album with one or two skips.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 17 2026

I don't know, I guess I just don't really like his music, the storytelling, rather than singing. The title song was rather interesting.

My Generation by The Who
Jan 18 2026

The band is a classic, liked some songs a lot, some where not that memorable.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jan 19 2026

Reminds me of Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, very folk-thematic, which makes sense, as it is a folk-rock band. Not my cup of tea, as while the music is beautiful, it is quite chaotic and monotone. Not a big fan of the tone of the voice of the female singer, as it is quite high all the time and just seems as she's not singing fully from her chest. Hunting Song and Sally Go Round the Roses were the highlights of the album.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jan 20 2026

It sounded more than a storytelling album with some basic music on the side, rather than a musical album. Very monotone, all songs sounded the same, normal, but the same. Nick Cave vibes. Did have some interesting lyrics though - the stories.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jan 21 2026

It’s a good, heavy album. A bit chaotic for my taste, but still pretty decent.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 22 2026

Musically and lyrically pleasing album, great sound and songwriting. Great closing with You Make Me Feel, couple other great songs too.

Marquee Moon by Television
Jan 24 2026

Didn't really stand out to me, just an average group from back in the day. Liked the music tho.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 25 2026

A solid, emotional album with a warm atmosphere. Nina’s voice has a distinctive, pleasant tone, but the music works best as a backdrop rather than something that fully holds your attention for focused listening.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jan 26 2026

Great album, easy to listen, quite laid back. Solid throughout.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jan 27 2026

It was ok, nothing too exciting, but nothing too bad as well. Just, not very memorable.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jan 28 2026

I guess this was innovative for their time, but I just don't this whiney-talking type of "singing" that is off-beat too many times for my liking.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 29 2026

A beautiful, melodic album, pleasure to listen to. Two outstanding pieces - Tiny Dancer and Indian Sunset.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Jan 30 2026

While the first two songs were good, with punchy lyrics, listening through all of it felt a bit hard. It's a good album, and good songs, but the manner of signing, the way he articulates words, not my personal favorite.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jan 31 2026

Excellent album, fresh, Blue Orchid, My Doorbell are outstanding bangers, this deserves to be appreciated.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Feb 01 2026

While it is a dated album, it also sounds so. The music is occasionally nice, but not my style.

Drunk by Thundercat
Feb 02 2026

I believe this album should not have been in the Top 1,000 albums at all. Sounds like a gimmicky version of other artists, nothing original. Did have a nice verse of Kendrick's tho.

B-52's by The B-52's
Feb 03 2026

I don't know - they might have polished their sound along the way, but this debut album is a bit too random for me.

Suede by Suede
Feb 04 2026

First time listening to the band, a strong album, good songs, great first impressions.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Feb 05 2026

Great album, a nice feel while staying true to themselves, bit bluesy, exceptional acoustics.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Feb 06 2026

Did not believe this was the Rolling Stones at first - so different than the songs I know from them. Loved the cover of Route 66!

The Band by The Band
Feb 07 2026

It's a nice album, won't remember it though.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Feb 08 2026

It was good-sounding, nostalgic album that gives the same feeling as you have when listening to Fallout soundtracks. Actually, should get back to playing the game again...

Kenza by Khaled
Feb 09 2026

Besides the 2-3 songs that feel like from a different album (the covers), it’s quite terrible - hardly pushed through.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Feb 10 2026

Funky jazz album with never-ending songs. Would not listen to it daily, but sounds like a nice background elevator or store music.

Feb 11 2026

Solid West Coast 90s hip-hop album with good beats, interesting storylines. A pleasure to listen to.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Feb 12 2026

The music (guitar) was ok, songs, very average.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Feb 13 2026

Now I know where the 'different strokes for different folks' came from.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 14 2026

Great album, reeling you in with rhythm, melody and captivated singing. Some strong ballads, some more energetic song. Sisters of the Moon is phenomenal.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Feb 15 2026

Like with a lot of albums from that time - while the music is solid, the vocals - not so much.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Feb 16 2026

I though this was a cute and lovely album, melodic, roadtrips through the countryside kind of vibe.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Feb 17 2026

Usually not a big fan of semi-speaking, semi-singing songs, but I really liked this album, the music worked beautifully with his semi-singing, quite versatile and fun.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Feb 18 2026

Great east-coast rap album, with solid beats, spitting bars and insane range of collaborators. Can feel it instantly that he's a part of the Wu-Tang Clan. Favorite tracks: Champ, Be Easy among others

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Feb 19 2026

The harmonies throughout the album are so satisfying to listen to. Overall a great album, not sure if this is folk or indie or whatever genre, but it sure is lovely and easy to listen to. White Winter Hymnal is phenomenal.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Feb 20 2026

Didn't understand a single thing, but this felt like some drugs were put into the songs - the music, the melody was so good and live, while the sound of their voices gave a nice boost. Really enjoyed this!

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 21 2026

Absolutely phenomenal album. Not sure whether this is rock or metal or something in between, but it just works - versatile, strong and dramatic. War Pigs, Paranoid, Iron Man amongst other songs, absolutely amazing.

Da Capo by Love
Feb 22 2026

While it was ok for the most part, it will not stay in my mind whatsoever.

Feb 23 2026

Didn't really like it - yet again, I didn't really like any of Morrissey's albums too, so it makes sense.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 24 2026

An easy-listening reggae album with a legendary song - No Woman, No Cry. Them Belly Full was also a great piece to listen to. However, just a bit too much along the same lines. I don't know why - but No Woman, No Cry sounded a bit rushed than the rather popular version of his, I believe.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Feb 25 2026

I liked this album a bit better than "You are the Quarry", but it is still too whiney for my taste.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Feb 26 2026

Those dudes like Lynyrd Skynyrd a lot. Some redneck wanna-be rock, where some stuff is pretty cool, some - pretty random stuff made by bunch of drunk guys.

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Feb 27 2026

I like the concept of shorter songs that are not dragged out too much. An album very true to the time when it was released. Had never heard the original Love Hurts before - some covers surely are better, but nice to hear the original.

Be by Common
Feb 28 2026

I think it was a good album, Kanye's influence as the producer can be easily heard. It is soulful, but it felt like a spark is missing, to be counted as a memorable album.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Mar 01 2026

After listening to this album, it just left a messy aftertaste, chaotic, somewhat melodic, can agree that it is a "trip-hop" album, but didn't feel like listening to anything great or good, actually.

Damaged by Black Flag
Mar 02 2026

This sounds like an angry teenager band, screaming their anger in the void and just slamming anything they can. Very random, but the energy is intense.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Mar 03 2026

A classic. Strong title song and while most of AC/DC songs sound the same - they are all very good, energetic, powerful and fun rock songs.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Mar 04 2026

I thought I'd be neutral about it, but the more I listened to it, the more I realized that for me it is sounds like a below-average album.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 05 2026

Pretty average, but sounded good.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 07 2026

If you take out the political and victim-like messaging of the lyrics, the melody and the singing is quite nice. Fast car is and will always be a classic.

No Other by Gene Clark
Mar 08 2026

Easy to listen to, good vibes album, liked the title song the most.

Mar 09 2026

I don't know, it seemed pretty bad, didn't really enjoy it. However, I must admit that listening to it did feel like I was sitting in a jazz club, thus a bonus star for that.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Mar 10 2026

It is played wonderfully, quite soulful, but I would never listen to this kind of music on my own.

Mar 11 2026

It was a short, good-sounding country album from the days way back. Also I knew the saying, but hearing in the song made me cringe, yet here it has a different meaning, I guess - wham, bam, thank you ma'm?

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Mar 12 2026

This was a cute, standard album, not bad, not outstanding.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Mar 13 2026

The music was nice, jazzy vibe that sometimes sounded like from an old-school video game.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Mar 16 2026

Hard to figure out how to rate this - the sound is nice, but as I have not seen the movie, these nice background sounds make no sense to me. Maybe, after watching the movie, it would make more sense?

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Mar 17 2026

Frank Sinatra and this album is magical - makes you believe in love again, a melodical, soothing and happy-go-lucky album!

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 18 2026

Some songs were good, Mrs. Robinson is a classic, of course, but the old people stuff was a bit out of place. I get it, but I don't.

American Idiot by Green Day
Mar 20 2026

Phenomenal album. Strong, versatile and with so many outstanding songs that are still relevant today. American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Holiday and so on. Love it.

Mar 21 2026

A revolutionary hip-hop album. Versatile and energetic songs, filled with stories, feelings and opinions. Could listen to the album again and again - it is fun, action-packed and well written. Many songs are now a rap classic.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Mar 22 2026

a very average rock band / album - nothing bad, nothing great.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 23 2026

A decent, melodic album, as always, lovely harmonies. Nothing outstanding, but nothing negative to say about the album.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Mar 24 2026

While the albums exudes 90's vibe, several songs have really stood through the test of time and could be deemed as 90's classics.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Mar 25 2026

The music is ok, I guess, nothing phenomenal, but the guy's a pedo and that just made it way less than ok to listen to.

Sea Change by Beck
Mar 27 2026

While at first I thought it would be a sad and whiny album, it was not bad at all. But it still was sad and whiny. I particularly Paper Tiger, found myself listening to it quite a few times.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Mar 28 2026

Metallica has a distinct sound and power in their songs that is easily recognizable, but this was not my favorite album of theirs.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Mar 30 2026

I don't know, while it was better than other Cohen's albums, I just really dislike the speaking-over-music style.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Apr 01 2026

I have listened to a couple of the songs previously and liked them, but I listed to this album a several times on different days and it just works wonders with my brain and mood. Didn't plan on this - but this album is a banger.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Apr 02 2026

I wish I liked this more, but I didn't, while it was ok listening to two songs in a row, the whole album was quite hard to sit through

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Apr 04 2026

This girl could sing! Love the energy, emotion and raspiness of her voice.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Apr 05 2026

Come on Eileen, why everything sounds the same? The singer's voice reminds me of Goofy.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Apr 07 2026

A melodic, well-sounding album, the singer has a lovely voice.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Apr 09 2026

I liked the music, the melody, but hated the singing and everything around it.

Illmatic by Nas
Apr 25 2026

It's a solid, old-school hip-hop album.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 27 2026

While my top CCR songs are from a different album, the vibes are present with this album too.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Apr 29 2026

Liked this a lot: beep-boop & feel-good.

The Cars by The Cars
May 02 2026

Sounds like a nice, very-basic, by-the-book rock album that's easy to listen to.

Parachutes by Coldplay
May 11 2026

A solid, melodic album before they became mega-annoying.

21 by Adele
May 22 2026

No notes.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
May 28 2026

Some songs were ok, some songs were mega off.

Dookie by Green Day
Jun 01 2026

Awesome album by the Green Day - couple classics right there.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Jun 05 2026

It started out so strong, the first two songs are amazing, but then - just like any mid-tier generic 80s, 90s album.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jun 08 2026

The only song that stood out to me was Deacon Blues, especially the line "Drink Scotch whiskey all night long and die behind the wheel".
