Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 24 2026

Good record especially given it's place in the development of the genre. Love the guitar solo sounds - drum sounds are terrible!

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 26 2026

Meh. A few bangers, but not great.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Feb 28 2026

Another classic. Interesting song forms and tones.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Mar 04 2026

Never loved these guys. Mad respect but not my fav.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 05 2026

What a great find. Love this writer / band. Sorta reminds me of Jeff Buckly

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 07 2026

Overt creative choices that demand respect. Aggressive sonics - guitar playing and vocal sounds strong. .

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Mar 08 2026

Like the texture of the record. Cool use of melodica.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 10 2026

All vibe - limited skill. Oddly, the drumming is maybe the best part which I never thought whereas the guitar work is infamous and it's sorta meh.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Mar 11 2026

Odd music. Part jam band, part rock. Distorted vocals. Odd vocal levels.

Django Django by Django Django
Mar 12 2026

Beach Boys meets electronica. Interesting as stuff - cinematic and colorful. Cool vocal spaces

Damaged by Black Flag
Mar 13 2026

Classic. Elliott: "is he really just saying sixpack over and over?"

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Mar 14 2026

Like the view of this - good background music.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 17 2026

Classic record. Maybe the greatest super group?

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Mar 18 2026

Run of the mill old school blue grass. I can see where Ricky Skaggs got his schtick from.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Mar 19 2026

Brazilian band from the 60s. Think Beatles meets the Beach Boys online from Brazil. Overbaked and the high end is brutal.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Mar 23 2026

Terrible songwriting.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Mar 26 2026

Noise punk rock. Some cool textures and riff ideas.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 27 2026

I like Bowie but wonder how he became so famous.

Arrival by ABBA
Mar 28 2026

Not sure if l was just in a bad mood or what, but ABBA is kind of annoying.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Mar 30 2026

Record feels flat and boring. Also pretty dark sounding. Lacking life.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 31 2026

Graceland. Amazing record - I'd say in my top 20 of all time. As long as you can get past the 80's audio aesthetics.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 01 2026

Drum sounds. Simple rapping. Reminds me of early mtv

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 02 2026

You know, this just not a great record. A few hits but very flat in general

I Against I by Bad Brains
Apr 03 2026

Cool drum sounds. Reminds me of the Urge. Wonder how much Steve Ewing listening to this band.

Nixon by Lambchop
Apr 06 2026

Bizarre modern 60s throwback record. I like the clean audio perspective of this record. Bass sounds are great.

Vespertine by Björk
Apr 08 2026

Really enjoy this record. Dark moody colors

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Apr 12 2026

Not my fav. But not bad. Good background trance electronica

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Apr 13 2026

This has got to be one of the greatest hip hop records of all time!

Elastica by Elastica
Apr 15 2026

I really like this band. File for examples of cool lofi

Play by Moby
Apr 18 2026

Not a Moby fan

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Apr 19 2026

Very good. Lush, great arrangements. Warm.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Apr 25 2026

Classic record. I know it super well so I tried to listen to the lyrics mostly. Not great.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Apr 26 2026

Summertime Blues - early 70s blues riff rock

Bummed by Happy Mondays
May 01 2026

Out of tune vocals. Interesting how the hide it with verb.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 10 2026
