Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Feb 24 2026

Good jazz, most songs kinda sounded the same

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 25 2026

Surprisingly not bad, I’d give it a 2.5 if I could. Around 3/4 of the album in though I did stop paying attention because it’s almost all piano and acoustic guitar. Coolest part was when it was over the next song was an acoustic version of deftones Be quiet and drive that I’ve never heard.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 26 2026

If I had to saw my brother’s foot off in the mountains of Korea because it had turned completely black from frostbite, then carry him down those mountains alone while he screamed and cursed at me after the rest of our platoon was killed or taken prisoner in an ambush, only to receive a handshake, a medal, and a kick in the ass back to America, and then years later, after a long shift at the local grocery store where my boss, who’s 20 years younger than me, makes me stay late to finish inventory because he has a date at the drive-in, I walk through the door to a pot of Hamburger Helper, a nagging wife, and a nancy son with long hair, and from his room I hear some hippie singing bullshit about how he wishes he was a Kellogg’s Cornflake, I’d put a gun in his hand and ship him off to the jungles of Vietnam. Overall, good album. Pretty cool sampling.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Feb 27 2026

Really good album. I’ve never listened because I thought it was satanic but figured since I’m doing this challenge Jesus will forgive me. I think they used AI though because obviously no human on earth can play the bass that fast with their fingers.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Mar 02 2026

There were 3 or 4 good songs, and it’s very 90s nostalgic. Gonna be honest I don’t have anything witty to say about it it’s just not very good. And Uncle Joey wasn’t worth it. He was probably part of that group of people counting down when the Olsen twins were gonna turn 18.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Mar 03 2026

I won’t understand the person who listens to this album for fun. This is the album you put on when you light candles all over the bathroom, draw a hot bath and get in with a bottle of wine and a belly full of Prozac because you bullied your dads new girlfriend in high school and now he won’t let you go on the ski trip in Switzerland and now your best friend is definitely going to fuck your boyfriend. There is better Cocteau Twins albums

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Mar 04 2026

I’m starting to feel like the guy who wrote this book is fucking with us. 1 album before this one is so much better. Willie Sings Elvis > Danzing sings Elvis Any other Willie > Willie sings Elvis

Guero by Beck
Mar 06 2026

I’m pretty sure the second song was racist. Kinda like Cake but different

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Mar 09 2026

Classic, good rhymes over live beats. Most importantly without this album we wouldn’t have Dave Blunts or Yuno Miles.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Mar 11 2026

Unbelievably bad album. If I could rate it 0 stars I would. The entire album sounds like the score to a bad Disney movie. Boring Piano, decent vocals singing absolutely terrible lyrics. Singing things like “I was lost in your dream and now I can’t remember how to dream” it’s just bad. People may listen to this because of feminism but not a lot of people. Tori Amos barely breaks 1 Million listeners on Spotify while her peers like Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Macy Gray, Sinead O’Conner and Tracy Chapman run absolute circles around her. So it’s not a discussion of “oh you don’t like it because of x, y or z” it’s bad and there are so many female artists that emboldened feminism while releasing some of the most classic songs to come out of the 90s and to add this album in the list of 1001 to listen to before you die is disparaging every other female artist who came before and after who got a spot taken away from them because this is on the list.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Mar 12 2026

Super nostalgic for me. Used to listen to this album with my grandpa all the time as a little kid. Solid.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 13 2026

Zeppelin man. It goes without saying, it rules.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 16 2026

Some good songs but overall not for me.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Mar 17 2026

Interesting. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. Had some good stuff not really any bad songs. Solid 3

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Mar 18 2026

Never been a fan of Def Leopard but this was a bad ass album. I’d listen again.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 20 2026

Dracula does sensual country

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 24 2026

Super overrated. I assume any girls he’s talking about in any song in under 18

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 25 2026

One of the best not much else to say

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Mar 27 2026

Without this we don’t have daft punk. Without daft punk we don’t have the rumor that Kanye West would stop watching porn in the studio while they were making the song Stronger.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Apr 01 2026

I like the other Beck better. The other Led Zeppelin too.

Revolver by Beatles
Apr 03 2026

Good Beatles

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 13 2026

I’ve never heard of a pro vax hippie before but he makes some good music

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Apr 16 2026

I kept waiting for it to get good because it sounded like it would until track 5 then stopped listening
