The Yes Album by Yes

My left ear enjoyed that one part of Perpetual Change Other than that kind of a mellow album. I wanted to enjoy it

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys

I quite enjoyed listening to this. I'm not usually a fan of indie music but this was different. I think it was the mix of different instruments

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 21 2026

Sledgehammer is a great song Big Time is awesome Not convinced on Don't Give Up. Yeah it's a pretty good album, not entirely my cup of tea.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jan 22 2026

A really nice Jazz album. Would be nice background music for studying!

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jan 23 2026

To be honest it wasn't very notable None of the songs on it were that appealing to me, but I didn't hate it. I would be happy to listen to it again but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it though

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 26 2026

Surprising to see a live album on here. I don't usually listen to Thin Lizzy but there were a few good songs on here I'd listen to the studio recording of

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jan 27 2026

Not a huge fan of this one tbh Couple of alright songs, but not compelling enough for me to add them to my library

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Jan 28 2026

I can definitely see why people like Beyonce, but just not for me. She's talented, but it's a shame that all of the songs on this album were shit. Difficult listen.

Jan 29 2026

I'm 2 songs in and really liking this so far. Overall I really liked this album. Really cool funk sound, but also kind of jazzy at times. Definitely a highlight so far.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jan 30 2026
Street Signs by Ozomatli
Feb 04 2026

An excellent album. The mix of genres including but not limited to funk and jazz with a Latin influence done so well. I had never heard of this artist before and I'm really impressed. I love the mix of some good social commentary and music. Favourite song: (Who Discovered) America? HM: Street Signs 4 Feb 2026

xx by The xx
Feb 07 2026
The Yes Album by Yes
Feb 08 2026

My left ear enjoyed that one part of Perpetual Change Other than that kind of a mellow album. I wanted to enjoy it

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Feb 09 2026

I have not heard this album before. Talented guitar solos and stuff but I feel like the album kind of lacks something, though I'm not sure what it is. I have never really been an Iron Maiden person, or a heavy metal person though.

Feb 10 2026

I have not heard of this album before, but I have heard of some of the songs on this album. The album sounds very raw and emotional, with a lot of thought put into it. Unfortunately it is just not my cup of tea.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Feb 11 2026

Some of the songs are alright but I am not a fan of Neil Young's voice...

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Feb 12 2026

I don't like rap, but this was somewhat tolerable. Still didn't like it but I didn't actively hate listening to it. I don't want to sound like a pearl clutching prude but I didn't like the sexual lyrics, especially some of the skits.. Back Like That was an alright song

Mask by Bauhaus
Feb 13 2026

Certainly interesting. Never heard of the artist before. This kind of gothic rock doesn't really appeal to me.

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 14 2026

To preface this, I don't like U2, so I'm coming in a bit biased. I haven't heard this album before though. Christ that was fucking boring. Unsurprisingly, that was a another hard listen from U2.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Feb 16 2026
Metallica by Metallica
Feb 17 2026

I liked Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters prior to listening to the album fully. It's not typically a genre I listen to, but it was a pretty enjoyable listen to be honest.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Feb 20 2026

Such an incredible album, can't believe I hadn't listened to the whole thing earlier.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 22 2026
The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 23 2026

Relatively speaking it's not as bad as some of the other albums I have listened to. But more than once I found myself thinking "when is this shit going to end", which I have decided is the criteria for an album getting 1 star. Generally I'm not a huge fan of alt rock. The vocals were.... unique. I questioned whether the lead singer had taken any singing lessons at some points when I felt myself grimacing during the Spiderbite Song. So uhh yeah hard listen.

Smash by The Offspring
Feb 24 2026
Goo by Sonic Youth
Mar 05 2026
Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 10 2026
The Real Thing by Faith No More
Mar 13 2026

ChatGPT, generate me a subpar 1980s rock album that doesn't have an identity.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Mar 19 2026

Damn that was a great album

Pink Flag by Wire
Mar 22 2026

When I got to the end of this album, I was surprised to realise it was released in 1977. It really has that 90s maybe early 2000s grunge sound to it. I've never heard of the band before but it's definitely punk/grunge, wouldn't be surprised if they inspired a lot of that genre later in the 90s. Anyway, not really into grunge but it was an alright listen.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Mar 23 2026

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RIIsLj6l9jQ Back in my day we used to do 1800 miles in a night listening to this. Thank you America (and of course Alabama) for this hick redneck music. Did this album really have to be an hour and a half? In all seriousness though, the actual message of the album is quite interesting. It's very political, and speaks to life in Alabama trying to fight stereotypes that every Alabaman is an ignorant raging racist. I guess that's probably why it's on this list. It was a hard listen, and far too long with

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 24 2026

I quite liked this. It reminded me a little bit of Daft Punk in terms of the music but the lyrics and vocals are great.

Boston by Boston
Mar 27 2026
The College Dropout by Kanye West
Apr 04 2026

Kanye West is a reprehensible individual. Not my type of music either.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 06 2026
Funeral by Arcade Fire
Apr 09 2026
The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Apr 12 2026

Eminem is very gen x core. I can see how this started his career

25 by Adele
Apr 14 2026

Enjoyed that more than I thought I would to be honest. Now I must consume a bottle of red wine every day

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Apr 15 2026

Interesting stuff, I think I'll have to give that another listen some time

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Apr 16 2026

I quite enjoyed listening to this. I'm not usually a fan of indie music but this was different. I think it was the mix of different instruments

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 18 2026

Great album, but not the Beatles best work when compared to their other albums

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Apr 20 2026

Why is this album on this list? Sorry Madonna

Bad by Michael Jackson
Apr 21 2026

There are so many great songs on this album that get overlooked because of the other really great songs

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Apr 22 2026

The last song was alright, though the album kind of got boring after the first few songs when the novelty wore off

Slipknot by Slipknot
Apr 24 2026

I see why Karen's in the 90s thought this was summoning satan or something

The White Album by Beatles
Apr 28 2026

I didn't realise how many other good songs were on this album other than the classics

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Apr 30 2026

I don't usually like rap/hip hop but this was actually okay

1977 by Ash

Kenza by Khaled
May 21 2026

The second half is great

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 26 2026
Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Jun 01 2026

Meh album, apparently terrible person. Last song is awful. It's tantamount to torture.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 02 2026

THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME GO TO REHAB

Jun 04 2026

Oh god more late 90s nu metal. Lyrics are so fucking cringe. Actively difficult listen

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 12 2026
Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jun 20 2026

Have this on CD, it's such a great album and one of the first albums that introduced me to Supertramp. I get nostalgia from 'School', 'Bloody Well Right', and 'Dreamer' from hearing these as a kid

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jun 27 2026

This was much better than I expected. Quite a few tracks here that will go on my main playlist. I was told this album was basically "depressed guy with guitar" (hello I know you're reading this) but I thought it was a but more than that. I was kind of expecting the only instrument to be guitar but I liked the wider mix which helped me enjoy this album. I was tossing up giving this a 4 or a 5 while listening, but on reflection I think it deserves a 5.

Skylarking by XTC
Jun 28 2026

Probably an album I will come back to, I quite enjoyed the tracks 'That's Really Super, Supergirl' and 'Dear God'. It's got that 80s sound that I enjoy. Will have to listen to some more XTC

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jun 29 2026

This must have been really deep for teenagers in 2000 after waiting 24 hours for this album to download with some viruses from Limewire on the family computer

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 30 2026

Jimi Hendrix is incredibly talented, All Along The Watchtower is the star of this album

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 07 2026
Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Jul 09 2026

The lyrics for H20 haven't aged a day

Play by Moby
Jul 11 2026
Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 12 2026
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 13 2026

I find Simon and Garfunkle to be fairly boring but I won't complain about having to listen to them

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 18 2026

Jesus of Suburbia starts off decently but it's far too long imo

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jul 19 2026

Such a great and classic album, great to have an album pop up on this list that I have on CD

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jul 22 2026

Blister In The Sun used to irritate me when it played on the radio as a kid. It still does. Now I know the rest of the album is somehow worse. Could not finish

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 23 2026
Rio by Duran Duran
Jul 24 2026

Banger album, I have on CD

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jul 27 2026
Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Aug 05 2026

Took an entire star away for that horrible cover of Comfortably Numb.
