Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Feb 05 2026

Ok for background music. Liked Three Hours and Man in a Shed best.

Queen II by Queen
Feb 06 2026

Love me some Queen, but the album all at once is a lot. It’s so chaotic. Liked the Ogre song at first but eventually it’s like what’s happening? I liked Fairy Feller and Nevermore and the back half of the album more.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Feb 09 2026

Don’t always love the tone of his voice but some good instruments. Liked Pusherman and No Thing On Me the best.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Feb 10 2026

At times it sounded the same and the songs blended into one another, but then there’d be something different to mix it up and grab your attention. Overall, good listening that’s enjoyable. Like Next Girl and Tighten Up.

The Cars by The Cars
Feb 11 2026

Enjoyable throughout, though the slower song or two stuck out and weren’t as good. Liked almost every song.

Slayed? by Slade
Feb 12 2026

Overall, high energy good sound, but found the vocals grating on several songs and a few became too monotonous with the lyrics. Faves were Look at Last Night and GB to Jane.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Feb 13 2026

So many hits! Aside from the 4 tracks I knew and liked (1,2,10,11) my faves were Nothing and Don’t You Know. Coloring Book was a real low point in the album.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 16 2026

Eh, it was fine but not really for me. The songs blended into one another. Wake Up and Rebellion were my faves among them.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Feb 17 2026

Liked it overall. Fun sounds, easy listen. Faves were Jet and Mrs. V.

Timeless by Goldie
Feb 18 2026

As a whole, this was an interesting listen. Each song changed so much in sound it was hard to delineate what was what to pick faves, but that kept it interesting. I preferred the heavier drum and bass tracks I could imagine at a club over her vocals and the softer, new age, jazzier tunes. Liked St Angel and Sense of Rage.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Feb 19 2026

Mixed feelings, liked a bunch but too many that were meh. Faves were Never Said Nothing, mesmerizing, F and Run.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 20 2026

Not for me. Oh baby, change yr mind, and Tonite were the only ones I somewhat enjoyed.

Feb 24 2026

Enjoyed listening. Found the three singles the most enjoyable. Preferred the heavier rock sounds to the more mellow.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Feb 25 2026

Surprised to enjoy it as much as I did. Easy to get through. Liked Hotel Yorba and Now Mary the best.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Feb 26 2026

Started very slow and melodic but liked it more as the tempo picked up a few songs in. Then a bit too slow toward the end until the last song which was better. Some clever and fun lyrics like on Marz and Chicken Bones. S Weaver and Silver Plater were my faves.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Feb 27 2026

Chill throughout. Love the harmonica parts. Fave is Come Pick Me Up.

Mar 02 2026

Really enjoyed listening to this while driving around. High energy, fun beats. Liked Build it Up, Kalifornia, Love Island, Acid.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Mar 03 2026

Found it difficult to listen to her voice straight through the album, but individually enjoy the songs. Celebrity Skin by far my fave song, followed by Boys on the Radio. Several songs the lyrics were annoyingly repetitive.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Mar 05 2026

Not for me. I want her and friends of mine were better than the others.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Mar 06 2026

I liked this. Enjoyed the whole album. Liked the Magic Number and Eye Know the best.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Mar 09 2026

Solid overall. Mostly enjoyed. Songs blurred together a bit, no standouts but liked Mystery Achievement and Brass in Pocket the best.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Mar 10 2026

Enjoyed this. Liked the instruments and different sounds. Move Over and Bobby M were my faves.

Electric by The Cult
Mar 11 2026

Pleasantly surprised to enjoy this all the way through. No standout faves.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Mar 12 2026

Not the sound for me. Preferred the instrumentals Split Myself, Aurora, and Mindless Idiot.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Mar 13 2026

A little too funky for my liking. Several songs were very difficult to get through. If we’re picking faves…. A Minha Menina or Senhor F.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 16 2026

Solid overall. The couple super slow songs downgraded my rating. Faves were America, Winter, and Zoo.

Debut by Björk
Mar 17 2026

Too out there. Dreamy at times, funky loud at times, what is it trying to be? Big Time Sensuality was the fave for its dance vibe.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Mar 18 2026

Overall it was too loud and too much noise. The songs on their own may have been ok, but too much all at once. Sunglasses and Cramped were the best. Honorable mention to Mad Dad for comic relief.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Mar 19 2026

Prefer the funky to the slow and sleepy ones. Faves were Haven’t Done Nothin’ and Boogie.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Mar 20 2026

Great vibes. At the first song I was ready to give it a 5. That song was the best though, with the rest of the album a little less fun. Favorites were Marcus Garvey and Jordan River.

The Yes Album by Yes
Mar 23 2026

Liked The Clap the best, it was a fun lil diddy. Overall, enjoyed more than expected.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Mar 24 2026

Mar 27 2026

Ok overall. No stand out favorites except Karma C.

Down Yonder was fun, but overall a little too slow. His voice is a classic, but meh.

Mar 31 2026

Overall I like the vibe. A few songs were pretty fun. Liked Barrytown and With a Gun.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 01 2026

Most of the songs were fine but no real standouts.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Apr 02 2026

Jazz isn’t my fave but overall it was fun and interesting. Prefer the more lively, but could all be background music for a classy glass of wine on the deck. crescendo in blue a fave.

Apr 03 2026

An understated angst. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would especially with the slow start. Obvi like Nothing Compares. Liked the instruments at the end of stretched on your grave.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 06 2026

Enjoyed it as a whole. Interesting sounds and lyrics throughout, often very different within one song. Love I. Also liked King Kunta and Momma, Blacker the Berry (Marcus Garvey reference FTW).

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 07 2026

Not my fave Bruce songs but can appreciate it. The storytelling felt long at times. Love all the harmonica. Liked Atlantic City best.

Disintegration by The Cure
Apr 08 2026

His voice is too annoying all at once. Lovesong was the fave. Lullaby was at least different sounding with its whispery 2000s type angst.

Apr 09 2026

Not my fave. Was hoping to recognize some songs. Liked Raised on Robbery the best bc it was most fun and upbeat.

Apr 15 2026

Preferred the harder rock songs. Liked Ball and Biscuit and Hardest Button best.

Not sure what to make of this one. Felt he was yelling at me at times, other times it was more enjoyable. No stand outs, overall ok.

Apr 20 2026

Very fun. Love the instruments and the call and response with the crowd. High energy throughout. No favorites, liked how it all pieced together. 5

Apr 21 2026

Enjoyed but not my faves. Liked Monkey Man and the ones I knew.

Apr 22 2026

Really liked the two openers. Overall love the sound and energy. Most enjoyable at high volume; are they touring together soon?

Among The Living by Anthrax
Apr 23 2026

A touch aggressive for a 6am walk but did enjoy it. Fave was Caught in a Mosh. Want to revisit in the car when angry.

Apr 24 2026

Enjoyed it overall. Liked When Will They Shoot and Check Yo Self best.

Not for me, but can appreciate a lot of the music, like the instruments on tracks 4,5,7.

B-52's by The B-52's

May 05 2026

Fun and funky most of the time. An interesting listen. Liked Safe from Harm best.

May 06 2026

Fine overall but the songs blended together bc they sounded so similar. Kept thinking it was a song I knew until I got to Cars and realized that was it. Liked Films and Tracks.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
May 07 2026

Enjoyed a lot of the instruments and sounds but found his voice overly somber and melancholy at times. Liked Pursuit of Happiness best.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
May 21 2026

Only knew Walk of Life and had a different idea of what they were like. Instruments were pretty throughout; enjoyed the different sounds. It was ok overall. Liked Why Worry and Money for Nothing.

Such a fun start with Baba, hard to hold onto. Mostly enjoyed it though. Liked My Wife and Blue Eyes.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 14 2026

Mostly enjoyed this, until the last track which felt goofy and insincere. Imagine my fave.

Jul 15 2026

This was different. The lessons were a surprise and a little unsettling at first but made some good points about listening. The music aspect was ok overall.

Engaging live performance playing to the audience. Of the songs new to me, enjoyed Wreck and San Q best.

Jul 23 2026

Aug 07 2026

Upbeat ones were fun and groovy. Could do without the slow ones. Each one a bit too long.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Aug 12 2026

Not my kind of music, especially the front half with the lovey songs. Second half was better with more rock. Liked Breathless the best, probably bc there weren’t any lyrics. Viking song fun too.
