1999 by Prince
Feb 02 2026

First three tracks rank near the top of any opening three track run for an album.

Dookie by Green Day
Feb 03 2026

Quality. Not my thing, but it’s good and worth the listen.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Feb 06 2026

With one of the songs that blew my mind when I first heard it (SLTS), this album is still a banger. Hadn’t listened to it from stem to stern in a long while, but it won’t be long before revisiting it again. Amazing.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Feb 13 2026
Gold by Ryan Adams
Feb 15 2026

I have listened to and liked a lot of Ryan Adams’ stuff before, but apparently none of it was on this particular album. Underwhelming.

Kenya by Machito

Zombie by Fela Kuti

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Mar 05 2026
Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Mar 11 2026
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 15 2026

One of my favorite artists, so I made sure to listen with discernment to make sure it’s really five stars. It is.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 18 2026
Melodrama by Lorde
Mar 19 2026

As a gen Xer that knows little about this sub genre or era, Lorde seems to be a much better songwriter than a lot of the others out there. I liked this album.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Mar 20 2026

As a Gen Xer that grew up on 80s and 90s rap, it was good to hear a rapper actually talk about some things that matter. Not sure if I’d explore more from this artist in the future, but this was a decent listen.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Mar 21 2026

One of my favorite rap groups, this album falls just short of the previous and following efforts of PE. Still a strong 4/5, though.

Dry by PJ Harvey
