Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis

Listened to this while I was working. It’s pretty mellow and easy background music. (27 songs, 115 mins) 3/5/26

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Feb 23 2026

The album has an interesting sound. I imagine people felt this was kind of a new age vibe at the time. The vocals aren’t stellar in my opinion, but have an interesting quality (don’t have a better way to describe it). Slow and soft. Kinda just weird, but also maybe giving spoken word poem vibes? No clue what was happening in The Murder Mystery (not a fan). The music is easy enough listening because it’s gentle, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to it again. (10 songs, 43 minutes) 2/23/26

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Feb 24 2026

Melancholy. Repetitive? The songs were a bit slow and hazy at times. I can’t say I’m the best audience for this album. It screams 1980s. 2/27/26 (10 songs, 37 mins)

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Feb 25 2026

Opening song is kind of jazzy, but not in an upbeat way. The harmonica on this album is actually so loud that it is physically painful. Bob Dylan’s vocals are not really my taste… 2/27/26 (14 songs, 112 mins)

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 26 2026

Imagine is obviously an iconic song. Rest of the album is just so-so. 2/27/26 (10 songs, 39 mins)

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Feb 27 2026

First 2000s album of the 1001 albums generator. It’s really upbeat and exciting. Not really something I can sing to, but seems like it could be a movie soundtrack. (18 songs, 108 mins) 2/28/26

Mar 02 2026

Incredibly long songs! It’s jazzy and radiates crime tv music. Not my favorite, but pretty easy to listen to as background music. (6 songs, 43 mins) 2/28/26

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Mar 03 2026

We’re going to be friends. (16 songs, 40 mins) 3/2/26

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Mar 04 2026

Listened to this while I was working. It’s pretty mellow and easy background music. (27 songs, 115 mins) 3/5/26

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Mar 05 2026

Hard and fast. Can’t say this one’s my favorite. (9 songs, 21 mins)

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Mar 06 2026

This is insane. 3 hours of some of the most random music I’ve ever heard. I think I zoned out somewhere mid disc one so don’t ask me anything about it. (69 songs, 172 mins)

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Mar 09 2026

Reminiscent of every 90s teen movie. (12 songs, 50 mins)

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Mar 12 2026

(13 songs, 58 mins)

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Mar 13 2026

(28 songs, 41 mins)

Van Halen by Van Halen

You Really Got Me (11 songs, 35 mins)

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 17 2026

Girls Fight for Your Right No Sleep Til Brooklyn Brass Monkey (13 songs, 44 mins)

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Mar 18 2026

Blister in the Sun (12 songs, 43 mins)

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 19 2026

Really repetitive (7 songs, 38 mins)

90 by 808 State
Mar 20 2026

I hate it (8 songs, 38 mins)

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Mar 23 2026

It didn’t say deluxe so I’m listening to the regular album. I can’t say I have the best taste in music, but this album wasn’t my favorite. (9 songs, 44 mins)

Mar 24 2026

Cool R&B sound. Lauryn Hill has a beautiful voice. Doo Wop (That Thing) and Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You are both so good. (16 songs, 77 mins)

May 28 2026

There was definitely a lot happening. A little anxiety inducing. Did I love it? No. But that’s ok, music is cool because there’s something for everyone. This one just wasn’t for me. (4 songs, 39 mins)

May 29 2026

Do I get it? No. Do I like it? Maybe…? It’s not the most horrible album I’ve heard to be fair. (13 songs, 42 mins)

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jun 02 2026

Dramatic opening. Back in Black. (10 songs, 41 mins)

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jun 03 2026

Really weird. It’s like the soundtrack to an alternate universe. Idk. (15 songs, 58 mins)

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Jun 04 2026

Album cover is funky. Folksy vibes. Started off strong and then spiraled into weirdness. (16 songs, 42 mins)

Risque by CHIC
Jun 05 2026

It was alright. (7 songs, 36 mins)

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jun 08 2026

A Dirty Dancing classic right off the bat! (Cry to Me) (12 songs, 34 mins)

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Aug 06 2026

Our Lips Are Sealed is a 10/10. We Got The Beat. (11 songs, 35 mins)

1999 by Prince
Aug 07 2026

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’m not a fan of this album… songs are needlessly long and repetitive. The namesake, title track of the album is fine, but again it is just the same line over and over and over again. Maybe if I lived through its peak during some pivotal point of life I would feel some connection to the songs, but I do not. (11 songs, 70 mins)

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Aug 08 2026

A solid album. (9 songs, 44 mins)
