Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Feb 24 2026

It just becomes too much noise after a while. Don't need that much rage in my life.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Feb 25 2026

It's not my favorite but not the worst.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Feb 26 2026

Pretty chill music overall which is what I expected. Good background music.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Feb 27 2026

I like the overall sound but I can't stand the singer's voice unfortunately.

Mar 02 2026

I like their sound quite a bit. Fairytale of New York was a great song. Quite a different sound than what I'm used to listening to.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 04 2026

Not terrible. I love Hallelujah but everything else was OK.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 05 2026

Jimi is obviously one of the best guitarists ever. I enjoy the more "traditional" music on this but not so much the "experimental" stuff. Overall I like it.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Mar 06 2026

Wow, that was terrible. I didn't enjoy any of it.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Mar 09 2026

I liked it. Not much else to say, haha.

Mar 10 2026

I'm not a rap fan at all, but this early stuff isn't actually too bad. It has a nice beat to it and I can understand what they are saying, so that's nice.

Hms Fable by Shack
Mar 11 2026

I really like this. Nice sound, a bit "raw", but overall something I'd listen to again.

Dummy by Portishead
Mar 12 2026

Not a huge fan of this style of music, but it makes for good background music.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Mar 13 2026

This is classic. Love it, and even heard some new songs I'd never heard before that I thought were great.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 16 2026

This is going to sound like an insult, but it's really not. This is like the best elevator music ever. I love listening to them just jam. Not what I'm looking for in my everyday music listening, but I still appreciate it.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Mar 17 2026

Not a fan of this. Maybe if I was an edgy 20-year old still, but I'm past that point in my life.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Mar 18 2026

Why does it always sound like he's out of breath when he's singing/talking?

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 23 2026

Wow, this was great. Such a great pianist I had never even heard of.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 24 2026

Good old music. Enjoyed it.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Mar 25 2026

This is great. I almost felt like I was in the room with him, just listening to him jam.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Mar 26 2026

Some good old jazz music. I like it.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Mar 30 2026

Metallica is good, but this is a lot for one sitting for me. I prefer them in smaller doses.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Mar 31 2026

Enjoyed it. Never even knew who sang We Are Family before.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Apr 01 2026

I actually liked this a lot more than I expected. They had almost a folksy sound I wasn't aware of in the few songs I knew of theirs.

Be by Common
Apr 02 2026

Not for me.

Ctrl by SZA
Apr 03 2026

Worst album I've heard in here so far. Couldn't even finish it.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Apr 06 2026

Good ol' blues.

Low by David Bowie
Apr 07 2026

I like Bowie. A bit different while still sounding like music.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Apr 08 2026

I love Beach Boys so this was a fun surprise. Definitely has a similar sound.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Apr 09 2026

I am not high enough to understand this.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 10 2026

It's Jimi. Good music, great guitarist.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Apr 13 2026

Always a classic. Good music for sure.

Ramones by Ramones
Apr 14 2026

I feel like I listened to the same song over and over for an hour. I like that song, though so it's not all bad.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 16 2026

Not what I was expecting. Not terrible, not great. Right in the middle for me.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Apr 17 2026

Very fun. Very relaxing. Good music

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Apr 20 2026

I like this style. Pretty good overall, great drums, guitar, and bass for sure.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Apr 21 2026

This one is hard for me because there are some songs that I really like and some that I really don't like at all. Their style is kind of everywhere, which I appreciate. Overall it's good.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 22 2026

Pretty surprised by this. Reminded me of Florence and the Machine. Liked some songs more than others. Good overall.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 23 2026

Good album.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Apr 24 2026

This is just music that makes you feel good.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 27 2026

I had never heard of him so I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Kind of a mix of old school and new school sound.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 28 2026

This is not for me at all. Did not enjoy any of it.

Violator by Depeche Mode
May 04 2026

It's interesting. Not my favorite but interesting at lease.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
May 05 2026

Good jazz music. Once again, not what I want to always listen to but I still enjoy it.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
May 07 2026

I had really only heard Rehab, which is a song that just makes me sad because of how she ended up dying. But she kind of has an old school sound, with a lot of different instruments which is very unique. Still not my favorite style but it was better than I was expecting.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
May 08 2026

Not for me.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
May 11 2026

This just made me happy. Really enjoyed it.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
May 12 2026

Love it. Definitely my favorite album so far. ELO is so good.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
May 14 2026

Not really sure how this is on this list. It's a movie soundtrack with some pretty generic music.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
May 15 2026

Very pleasant old school sound. Breezy listen.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
May 19 2026

Wasn't bad, but made me feel kind of depressed after a whole album.

Damaged by Black Flag
May 21 2026

I am definitely not drunk/angry enough to enjoy this.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
May 22 2026

I had no expectations but this wasn't too bad for me.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 25 2026

It's alright.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
May 26 2026

I've always believed that some of the best songs are written by Bob Dylan and performed by others. This album didn't change my mind on that. He just is miserable to listen to.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
May 27 2026

Pretty good music. I especially liked the song Groovin.

May 29 2026

A lot of these songs kind of all sound the same to me. I actually like this era of country music, but this isn't the best.

Parklife by Blur
Jun 01 2026

Pretty good stuff. I only really know them from Song 2, but they've got a lot of diversity in their sound.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jun 03 2026

I always like Billy Joel.

Jun 04 2026

I was surprised by how many of these songs I'd actually heard before. They just have an iconic sound to them.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 08 2026

Good relaxing music style.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Jun 10 2026

I've never heard of these guys, but I had heard Wall Street Shuffle. Overall, I really like their style.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jun 11 2026

This sounds like something made by a middle schooler in their basement.

Spiderland by Slint
Jun 12 2026

This was long and boring and felt like it would never end.

21 by Adele
Jun 15 2026

Her voice is undeniably amazing. Not exactly my style, but its still good.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jun 18 2026

It started out sounding good but quickly went off the rails.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 19 2026

It's not bad.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jun 22 2026

I enjoy the music even if I have no idea what they're saying.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jun 23 2026

Pretty slow paced for my taste.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jun 26 2026

Not for me at all.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jun 29 2026

It's alright. His voice is not my favorite though.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Jul 01 2026

I actually don't mind it, but it definitely doesn't feel like it's a top 1001 album of all time.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jul 02 2026

Definitely a different vibe than what I am used to but I liked a few of those songs.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 10 2026

I like it. Nothing stood out to me specifically, but good music.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jul 14 2026

I enjoy Paul Simon. He does some different things with his music which I like.

Destroyer by KISS
Jul 15 2026

KISS is kind of a bit of a guilty pleasure. I enjoy them.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jul 16 2026

Pretty chill music. I like it.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Jul 17 2026

Is this even music? Or just random talking with a backing track. Maybe it's supposed to be a podcast?

The La's by The La's
Jul 22 2026

Felt kind of repetitive and boring.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jul 23 2026

Lots of great stuff on this album. I definitely enjoyed it!

Kenya by Machito
Jul 31 2026

It's very lively and upbeat. Great listen for a Friday afternoon for me!

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Aug 03 2026

I really love a few of his songs. Others are still good.

The Yes Album by Yes
Aug 04 2026

This is so good. Love the beat, the rhythm, the feel, the vocals. Really hit the spot for me.

The Cars by The Cars
Aug 05 2026

This was really good. I knew a few of their songs but I liked it all!

The Doors by The Doors
Aug 07 2026

I just really don't like them much at all. Never have.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Aug 10 2026

Really enjoyed this. Love the different styles on the same album too.
