Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 24 2026

An all time great album and an excellent one to start this project with. Such intricate songs. Really hope I get to see this stage production someday.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Feb 25 2026

Not really my thing but can’t deny the musicianship and intricacies to this album. Doubt I’ll ever go back to it but that’s just due to tastes and preferences.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Feb 26 2026

Again not typically my thing but unlike the Zappa one I’d pop this on again maybe. Some all time classic songs on this one too. Iron Maiden’s songs are a bit more musically interesting than I remembered.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 27 2026

Some all time classic songs. Album overall is a bit bloated though. Plus Anthony Kiedis is a real gross dude and by far my least favorite part of this band. Could’ve been a 5 star otherwise.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Mar 01 2026

Love Prince but not my favorite album of his and never fully understood why it’s so highly rated

Back In Black by AC/DC
Mar 03 2026

Wonderfully repetitive and lots of lyrics about shaking

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Mar 04 2026

Half amazing songs and half duds. The amazing songs win out though.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Mar 05 2026

This is dope AF. Wildly more talented than I ever realized.

Dookie by Green Day
Mar 06 2026

Masterpiece. I’ve listened to this album probably 1000+ times in my life since I was a baby. Love it.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Mar 07 2026

Never heard of this one before. Really really liked it.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Mar 09 2026

Some great stuff. Some boring stuff. Clapton is of course guitar Jesus so all of that sounds good. But sometimes it’s the only interesting part of a song.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Mar 10 2026

Never knew I’d like stuff like this.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 11 2026

Weird in a great way. Seems like this would’ve influenced a lot of modern music I like.

Mar 12 2026

I am entirely not a fan of post 9/11 country and this album was way back in 1988. But this album plays like modern country with pandering lyrics and some fairly uninteresting musicality. Won’t catch me singing Dixie. Not for me.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Mar 13 2026

I couldn’t finish this. Kind of embarrassed to say since I know this is supposed to be good stuff

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 14 2026

Just an all time classic. Peak southern rapping from Big Boi. Andre at the top of all of his powers. Would give more stars if I could.

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 17 2026

Always liked The Offspring but never loved them. Solid album. Some iconic early pop punk songs

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 19 2026

Icon. Queen. Love it but a little slow at times.

xx by The xx
Mar 20 2026

Hell of a debut and nostalgic as can be.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Mar 23 2026

The great songs pop out against a solid but repetitive rest of the album

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 25 2026

Not a lover of REM. But definitely like this one the best. Lots of arpeggios. They must dig those. I think I now see that’s the connection from them to Radiohead.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Mar 26 2026

Never heard this before and I really liked it

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Mar 27 2026

It was fine I guess. Minus 1 for Elvis being a creep

Mar 28 2026

I’m starting to like jazz. But I don’t know what makes it good or not yet. I like this album pretty well but it’s a long listen.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Mar 29 2026
Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Mar 30 2026

Never met a Led Zeppelin song I didn’t like

Suede by Suede
Apr 03 2026
The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Apr 07 2026

I listened to the wrong one but it was great. This one is just way too long so I’m carrying on and rating the one I listened to by accident.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Apr 09 2026

It was fine. I mean it’s David Bowie so a lot is expected. So maybe that’s not totally fair.

Suicide by Suicide
Apr 12 2026

This was pretty cool. Can definitely hear the influences stemming out of this one.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 14 2026

I can dig this in smaller doses maybe
