Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 28 2026

Surprisingly jazzy and groovy.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jan 30 2026

Not my style of hip hop. Probably would not relisten. Perhaps if I also read the lyrics at the same time.

My Generation by The Who
Feb 02 2026

The main song was fine but the rest were forgettable.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Feb 04 2026

This was not terrible but I'm not sure I would remember or want to listen to it again.

The Score by Fugees
Feb 05 2026

Wow this was actually pretty good! I would listen to this again. Fits the "old school hip hop" vibe and I swear I recognize some of the songs even though I've never heard of this artist before.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 09 2026

Wow, a serious Willie Nelson album! And country too! This one was great. Honestly more crooner than country. Not what I expected.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Feb 10 2026

Second half better than the first. I've heard better Ray Charles albums.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Feb 11 2026

Such fun latino music! I feel like I'm on a beach in Mexico. This is exactly what I think of when I think of lation music. Saving this one for future dinner parties.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Feb 12 2026

Fun. And I recognized a few songs.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 13 2026

Other than the one song everyone recognizes, the rest was forgettable.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Feb 16 2026

Very impressive for live improvisation. Wow. This is softer than jazz...in a good way.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Feb 17 2026

Could not find this album on Spotify. Good music though.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Feb 18 2026

Not sure why this was chosen vs the studio album. Good songs though!

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Feb 19 2026

Can't find on Spotify.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Feb 20 2026

Very similar to Bob Dylan but less whiny. I suppose I need to read the lyrics. Nothing outstanding musically on first two listens.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Apr 08 2026

Too electronic.

Lost Souls by Doves
Apr 09 2026

We liked this. 3 stars at least.

Diamond Life by Sade
Apr 13 2026

All the songs are funky not just smooth operator. 5 stars.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 14 2026

This one was decent. Would listen again even though I did not recognize many songs. 4 stars.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Apr 15 2026

This is noise. 1 star.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Apr 17 2026

Harder older rock. Like more intense Beach Boys. Not my favorite.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Apr 20 2026
2112 by Rush
Apr 22 2026

The best Rush album.

Repeater by Fugazi
Apr 23 2026

Not good.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Apr 28 2026

I listened to this album at a formative time. I could listen to Linkin Park every day.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Apr 29 2026

This was a "not weird" album as my wife says. Would have been a 4-star rock album except for the squeaky balloon that makes it into a few tracks, so this drops to 3 stars.
