Private Dancer by Tina Turner

7/10 but I rounded down because the songs started sounding pretty similar after a while

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 20 2026

almost every song in this album started off really strong. however after about 1-2 minutes of really good vocals and instrumentals, it felt like jimi forgot he was recording a song and started his own jam session… I think he got a little too lost in his music which of course is a good thing, i just dont feel the need to listen to 75 min of jamming. If the songs were cut shorter or they stayed on track, the album would have been great. however i felt like most songs ended up loosing their melody and in the end, all sounded the same. It dragged on for me. Jimi is such good guitarist and vocalist so i really wanted to love this album but it wasnt my fav 4/10

Jan 21 2026

first time fully listening to Elton John (besides his hits) and the first half of the album was INSANE. felt like I was floating. I genuinely was so immersed in the music. however, the second half fell off a little bit. it was more monotonous and repetitive! still not bad songs just a little forgettable and definitely cant compare to the first half! 9/10 and I probably should be rounding down to a 4/5 because the second half wasn't as good BUT I CANT HELP MYSELF THE FIRST HALF WAS JUST TOO GOOD

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 22 2026

honestly quite good! i do love jazz music however i wish there was a version of this album that wasn't recorded live. that being said, definitely one of the better live recordings ive heard, with quite clear vocals and instrumentals. would love to hear this live in a jazz bar with my friends. most likely wont listen to this album start to finish again, but definitely added a few of the songs to my jazz playlist. 6/10

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jan 23 2026

good!! I dont think ive actually listened to salsa music on my own so I didnt fully know what to expect. every song in the album was different enough from each other to make the entire album enjoyable. made me want to dance and drink a cocktail. all this considered, there are other genres I prefer so I most likely wont listen to the entire album again 6/10

I honestly felt like I couldn't process this album fast enough. obviously I had listened to starman before hearing this album fully and to be honest I was kind of expecting the entire album to be that good. To be honest it wasn't, and I had unfairly set too high of expectations for them to be! this album obviously had a big impact on the music industry as a whole, which I am really grateful for. the music in this album was, in looking for the best term, quite experimental feeling at times. On the bright side i think 40 min is the perfect length for an album, and none of the songs felt like they dragged on or were too long, so I am super appreciative of that! I honestly thought I was going to enjoy this album more than I did, and am quite disappointed that im not giving it 5 stars. im sure seeing bowie perform this album live would have been an out of this world experience and the show would have been insane. Starman is a banger but the rest of the songs were ok! 7/10

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jan 26 2026

Heard the first two songs and wanted to stop listening immediately. Almost gave up and turned the album off. Quite glad i powered through those and didnt stop, because the rest of it ended up being much better! Sounded like a group of guys in their own garage band at times… also there were waaaaayyy too many songs on this album, 22 is insane!!! 5/10 but I rounded and idk why

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 27 2026

The string instrumentals were beautiful and felt quite theatrical at times. I feel like its consistently building up to something, however it never ends up as powerful as you feel like its going to get. i loved the singers voice and thought it blended so well with the guitar. His voice has a very raw and intimate sound to it. The songs arent very aggressive but they get you going. Fav song was rebellion (lies)!! Perfect length for an album. 7/10

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jan 28 2026

Nothing super exciting in this album. I listened to this as background music and if i ever come back to it, that's what it will be used for. Not a very memorable album, most of the songs sounded the same, but i liked them. Felt like an extremely mediocre version of the beatles. I don't really get the hate for this album, it's not amazing but i didnt think it was bad! However, nothing set this album apart from other emerging bands at the time. 6/10

25 by Adele
Jan 29 2026

I absolutely love adeles voice. It's so smooth and freaking delicious. I know people complain about her not experimenting much with instrumentals etc but i love the focus on her voice because it truly is the star! Forgot how much I actually like her music. Yes a lot of the songs are similar sounding but i could listen to her voice all day. wow. 7/10

The Score by Fugees
Jan 30 2026

ZOO WEE MAMA! amazing flow between songs with really good layering of sound that never felt too dense. i felt like i was walking in a big city while listening to this. wasn't a big fan of the skits, so next time i listen to this album ill just skip those parts! Such good classics in here. Wish i had discovered more of the fugees songs earlier. lauryn hill is quite obviously the main one in the group yet im not complaining since she's so talented. very soulful and had a nineties street feel. Loved the atmosphere, the songs genuinely felt cinematic. Every song was a banger except for the covers. Such good writing. No wonder this group is considered one of the most influential in hip hop. The album was definitely made to be listened to as a whole. 9/10 and I probably should round down because of the skits and covers but I genuinely enjoyed all the other songs so much

Jan 31 2026

way too long. with 40 songs on the album, once you've heard about 15 (which is more than the average album) you're tired of listening and dreading the fact you still have 25 to go. some songs were really good but the others were just ok. 6/10

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Feb 01 2026

honestly kinda cool. liked this more than I thought I would. very floaty feeling. good as background music for studying 6/10

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Feb 02 2026

felt like I was in a rave for nerds im pretty sure they started chanting nerd nerd nerd nerd during one of the songs 5/10

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Feb 03 2026

would have liked this album much more if the lyrics weren't so offensive. many songs in this album made me feel sick to my stomach. ignoring all the lyrics, the instrumentals and beat was good, but because of how offensive this is, I cant give it higher than a 2. 3/10

Feb 04 2026

I know people hate on this album because it's very similar sounding but I loved it all. I appreciate each of the songs more on their own since when you listen to it as a full album they kinda blend together. Lanas voice is stunning. this album was very angelic. 7/10

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 05 2026

not my favorite. could not take this seriously. sounded very video gamey/UFO takeovery. I liked the the songs the sage, the great gates of Kiev, and nutcracker, but if they weren't in it, I would've given the album a 1 star. peculiar to say the least! 3/10

Nevermind by Nirvana
Feb 07 2026

rated high for a reason. iconic album for a reason. all the songs are bangers. 9/10

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Feb 08 2026

didnt think id like this as much as I did. it feels like having a picnic with your friends listening to this live and dancing in a grassy field while wearing flow skirts. so yeah 7/10

Ramones by Ramones
Feb 09 2026

typical rock band stuff. good but not very special or unique. I liked the songs but dont know how much of an influence they had on the music industry 6/10

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 13 2026
Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Feb 16 2026

7/10 but I rounded down because the songs started sounding pretty similar after a while

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 17 2026

layering of vocals and instrumentals was really cool. very significant album in the music industry. 8/10

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Feb 18 2026

overall this album was actually good. was skeptical at first, but liked it more and more as the album went on. definitely will listen to this again while doing yoga or homework 6/10

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Feb 19 2026

this album reminds me of my mom soooo much... therefore I cant rate it too low! I definitely enjoyed this album more than it deserves. I will feel no shame for enjoying Britneys music!! im normally not a big fan of songs that are just girls fawning over guys but it was fun to listen and sing along to 7/10

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Feb 20 2026

the artists sound like they're having a lot of fun playing and producing this album which makes it fun to listen to. I liked that the songs sampled well known beats from other songs into them. since the album was long, the little skits broke up and separated the album in a good way. had a hippie vibe. 6/10

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Feb 21 2026

everyone take a bow for the queen cyndi lauper. this is how you do 80s pop. 9/10

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Feb 22 2026

This is pure folk music. She has a very clean voice and the simplicity of the music is really pretty. The guitar instrumentals enhance her voice so well. Very calming music. Not sure why so many songs were about historical figures. Gets pretty samey after a while though. 7/10

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Feb 23 2026

had to watch on youtube since its not available on my streaming service. this album would be really good at a house party. the songs and album as a whole were very long. I liked the beat and feel of the music. 6/10

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Feb 24 2026

this album was the creation of heavy metal. amazing riffs. bass and guitar are so good. (8/10)

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Feb 25 2026

very clear sound for a live album. he did an extremely good job of catering for this specific audience. the atmosphere seemed so fun. I think bleeping swear words ruined parts of it and made it seem a little tacky. the songs were very simple country and yay America vibes which isn't my kind of music, but that aside it was fun. 7/10

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Feb 26 2026

was wondering why these songs sounded so similar to the arctic monkeys and then found out Alex turner is in both bands and that explained a lot. anyways I really enjoy this genre (7/10)

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Feb 27 2026

this was the most interesting album ive listened to in the way it uses different sounds. pretty catchy. fun and weird style. some songs are a little long for me (6/10)

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Feb 28 2026

im such a sucker for the classics. starts and ends super strong. the album blends rock with country/folk influences so well. yummy guitar riffs throughout and a heavy blues influence (8/10)
