Popular Reviews

American Beauty by Grateful Dead

First ever Grateful Dead album and first ever time spending time with this band it was a solid album didn’t quite persuade me to give up on my life and travel with the band, but I can definitely return to this album for a good listen

1-Star Albums (10)

All Ratings (97)

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 06 2026

I enjoyed this album only 2 song I don’t think I will return to I’m looking at you atomic punk, and on fire, I can see why this band is very popular. Some of their best hits and hits that I knew before listening to the album we’re on here like running with the devil. what a great way to open up the album by the way, and Jamie’s crying along with ain’t talking about love very classic dad rock that is played religiously on classic rock stations to this day. It’s a good listen, excited to dive in a more Van Halen, but as an opening album, you can see why they got successful

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Feb 09 2026

Mamas and the papas have some classic classic songs and they are here on this album Spanish Harlem in California dreaming have stay in the test of time along with Garfield’s favorite song, Monday, Monday but when you look deeper inside of this app when you find some real gems like do you wanna dance? there are some songs that I will not be returning to. like hey girl, in the end crowd along with. got a feeling I just feel like the ending of the album. The song started to sound a little too similar. Still a great album and definitely worth a listen and I would return to the mamas and Papa’s to hear what they have in another album.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Feb 10 2026

If you know the Beastie Boys, you know the song on this album brass monkey fight for your right no sleep till Brooklyn and Paul Revere heavily carry this album that’s what got them popular. The singles drove a success. They did a lot for hip-hop. Don’t get me wrong but when you’re coming into the album and you only gain two songs that you didn’t already know it’s not a good look I’ll be adding all the songs mentioned, including slow ride and time to get ill I think this album could’ve been a lot shorter so it’s a mixture of good and bad. I’m gonna give it a three.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 11 2026

This album is great coming in only knowing bad mood horizon and leaving with five brand new songs is what I’m looking forward throughout this whole process of going through all these albums. The other songs were good and just not my style four out of 10 great job. CCR will definitely return to you guys again.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 12 2026

I think it’s too harsh to give it a one, but I only really liked one song. This is very much background music although very peaceful you would just put it on forget that you have it on so I may use it to fall asleep or when I just need to. Scroll through my phone to check emails or delete old photos, which is what I did while I was listening to this album two out of five

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Feb 13 2026

I don’t think I will ever return to this album. I did save a couple songs, but I don’t think I I will ever sit through this whole album again and it’s an entirety. She did provide some great performances and it’s just nothing that stuck with me if that makes sense like the song that I did like are probably gonna end up on my liked song playlist and then I’m gonna be listening to this cool

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Feb 16 2026

I’m caught in a pickle here because the opening song is a classic song that I’m glad I finally figure out who sings it but other than that there’s a couple other songs coming in to the album that I’m glad I discovered too, but the rest of that it was just such a chore to get through all the songs kind of have the same similar theme, which I usually like, but at this point it just didn’t work out so I don’t wanna give it a one, but I think it kind of earned a one so we’re gonna give it a two but I don’t think I’m ever gonna return to this album Again unless I want to listen to the first song we’re gonna be a little nicer and give him a two, but if I listen to it again, it probably could get a one. There’s some gems in the deluxe edition too kind of just lost its luster glad to be able to move on

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Feb 17 2026

Pleasantly surprised by this album definitely has potential to return Steely Dan. You might have gotten a new fan. I knew some of these songs from friends definitely a solid album.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Feb 18 2026

I probably would rate this album higher if I actually just watch the movie instead there are some good songs on here. It’s a vibe probably gonna have to give it a two.

Feb 19 2026

Definitely enjoy this album it picked up around song 3 and ended after song 8 a good time has potential to grow to a 4 but I’m gonna put it at a three definitely will look into this artist more

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Feb 20 2026

I think if I want random background music, I think I’m gonna go back to the shaft album, but there are some good gems in here not gonna lie so at a fairness of chef, I’m I’m going to rate it the same 2/5

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 23 2026

This is very good gym music I’m in the album started off hot with some great songs to run and lift weights too, so I definitely added them to my playlist but after I got out of the gym, the album sort of fell flat so it gets another three out of five for me because it has its purpose don’t get it twisted I might come back to it when I need a good gym pump because I mean pump it up was fire. But I went through the deluxe edition 40 songs over two hours. There are some good songs in here but nothing that blew me a way to get a four or five so three is where it lies.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Feb 24 2026

Be thankful for what you got is probably the best song on the album and then the hymn of the big wheel is a close second but other than that, nothing much is left on this album but since I was able to find 2 or three songs, can’t give it to one, but definitely has earned a two out of five

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Feb 25 2026

Has this album aged perfectly probably not but it’s set the groundwork for what we have today most definitely and definitely earned it spot on this list. It grew on me as I listened to. It could definitely see this being discussed in like a history of rock ‘n’ roll or history of music class don’t know how much I will return to this album but good job Missy Elliott. I could tell that you were very passionate about this album.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Feb 26 2026

If I didn’t put headphones in, I think this album would’ve gotten a one but lucky enough at song six I put headphones in and it got significantly better, but I don’t think I will ever return to this album, but I did save a few songs. I probably won’t listen to this album ever again entirety who knows maybe if I would’ve listened to this album with headphones all the way through. It would get a five but as of right now this album gets 2/5

Medúlla by Björk
Feb 27 2026

I just really didn’t like it not my style of music and that’s OK. There was no song that would draw me back to this album and that’s that so we’re starting off with a one out of five.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 02 2026

This certainly was an album. I couldn’t really get the story all these songs kind of bored me I mean, they sounded good. Don’t get it twisted but it was just boring. I’ve been waiting to find one song to save so I can give it a two star rating, but that song never came so time to give it a one star

Mar 03 2026

I enjoy The Beatles and they fit perfectly in the concept of like discovering new music to listen to so like list like this and like doing a history and rock ‘n’ roll class talking about The Beatles is a must I definitely enjoy Sergeant Pepper’s lonely heart club band. Depending on the day you listen it might drag you down to a four, but I think it deserves a five. When you listen to them in moderation, you can really appreciate the Beatles for what they did. They’re not a daily rotation for me but every time there’s a chance to revisit them for like stuff like this, I will take it great job I did enjoy the show and it reminds me to come back to Sergeant Pepper, Lonelyhearts club band more often. It’s a record. I definitely wouldn’t mind owning.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Mar 04 2026

Very simple album Nothing that blew me away but nothing that was extremely terrible few songs to take to make you come back. This is three out of five as it gets.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 05 2026

This was a great time did I know any of the words hell no but that’s a skill issue on my part but I enjoyed every song on this album. I was at work cleaning up a waterpark while I was listening to this and walking to it too just fit the vibe very well done we’ll definitely listen to it again.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Mar 06 2026

Spent some time with this album this week. It lectures between a three and a four wanna go with a three here cause the only reason why I kept coming back to it is to finish it, but they are some definitely good songs on here. I kinda like Hoover Dam. And if I can’t change your mind along with helpless, definitely a good listen and I’m glad I found this band.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Mar 09 2026

I love message in the bottle as much as the next person and any other day is a fun song, I haven’t heard before, even though there are some gems on here like sad songs along with bring on the night I think it’s just OK perfectly middle of the road three out of five

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Mar 10 2026

This is the type of artist that you know because you’ve watched a lot of movies. There are some classic songs on here like coconut and without you that gets played in movies constantly but you don’t really know the artist or at least I don’t so he’s doomed to be known as musician that makes movie soundtracks you make moments for movies but we forget your music solid album. I think it deserves more love.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Mar 11 2026

I think I’m too old for this kind of music. I mean there’s a few songs I will take and add it to the playlist but man this sounds of just the screeching static. I was like all right I’m kind of over. It could barely hear some of the lyrics. Some of the time. Definitely probably be better if I was depressed it screams. It wasn’t a phase mom it’s a lifestyle.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Mar 12 2026

Three hours gang holy crap me and Ella got to spend a lot of time together and I am taking away an hour and 15. It’s gonna take me a while to get back to this album. I’m don’t know how much listening power or staying power. It’s going to have a lot of love songs on this album or I need to find a man so you know perfect for the 1959’s so I think it’s gonna get a three but it’s a very three gotta give love to this website. Would it never listened to this album without it but also it’s gonna take me a while to get back to Ella. Maybe next February could’ve been a one and done listen and now when I wanna listen to my liked songs she will pop up again.

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 13 2026

It’s got blitzkrieg bop I also liked listen to my heart and let’s dance but a lot of the songs sound very simpler and you kinda get annoyed throughout the album that they always start the song with 1234 I get it 1234 I mean, like I said you know a song because they played in movies but other than that I think the Ramones are kind of forgettable. Maybe I should delve into another album two out of five.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Mar 16 2026

Usually one given the choice between two bands and England, you have The Beatles versus The Beach Boys and I think I lean more towards the beach boys. There’s just something about Brian Wilson’s voice, his lyrics and just the overall mood of The Beach Boys sound that hits me differently usually, I just know The Beach Boys from pet sounds in history of rock ‘n’ roll but this serves up album. It’s great. I’m definitely gonna re-listen to it probably multiple times it’s got a great protest song. It’s just it feels real and I’d like it. Great job as always Brian into the rest of the boys and the band may you get your flowers now!

The Score by Fugees
Mar 17 2026

This is that New Jersey sound man I’ve always wanted to get this album but I’ve never had a time. I’m glad I found the time now it’s definitely you gotta listen to the whole thing and just keep it going in one city. I don’t know how strong the songs would be on its own besides for singles that everyone knows off this album as a full album experience. Hell yeah please give me more.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Mar 18 2026

Had some reservations about this album but pleasantly surprised all the way through definitely an album you wanna listen to when you’re in a funk. I feel like it does have emo tones to it, but also some genuinely good storytelling on majority of the tracks here good job great lyrics like like flower and guest list good fine four out of five

Mar 19 2026

There’s a few songs on here that are classics and do you like in this album but there are few and far between a lot of noise not really my style of hip-hop. I do love me some flavor flav he met my mom wants at a party city so I wasn’t enough songs. I like to give it to three and then I have to give it to.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Mar 20 2026

Not many times does an album say man What the fuck is this shit This is one of those times I mean sure there’s some cool random sounds. but honestly, like I get it it’s experimental, but that doesn’t mean that it ain’t shit like none of these songs are like catchy make me want to return to the album at all. I mean props to the people that could give this album multiple lessons. it’s a one and done for me Miss Bush like you’re known for running for up that hill and that’s it. As of right now.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 23 2026

Bad opens up Strong with bad and the way you make me feel then it really slows down from songs 3 to 6 but then once you get to men in the mirror there are no more skips. He is the king of pop for a reason I would hike recommend listening to the 25th anniversary edition as the addition to listen to four out of five y’all

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Mar 24 2026

This album really took a long time to get going the back half of the album is what saved it from becoming a one star song, seven through 10 really clutched up and gave me some songs to come back to, but I don’t think it was a good enough effort to explore their sound more maybe if they were lucky they have another album on this list to really balance it out yeah 2.5

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Mar 25 2026

First ever Grateful Dead album and first ever time spending time with this band it was a solid album didn’t quite persuade me to give up on my life and travel with the band, but I can definitely return to this album for a good listen

Mar 26 2026

I might have a small brain because I don’t understand the magnificent of this album. This album just left me confused and with a headache maybe I should’ve been born in the 70s to understand not really Vibing with it. There were two songs that I did like so you are safe from the dreaded one star review but you were desperately close I don’t think I needed to hear this album into the void you go

Leftism by Leftfield
Mar 27 2026

Man, it’s really gonna be a tough cell for me to get into EDM. I mean I’m not gonna give it a one. This is a 2.5 album as it gets. I just like having words with songs and not just beats man, but it was a solid output if you are into EDM or a history, I would definitely recommend this album but for me in my rankings, gonna have to give it a two nothing really drove me to be like it needs to be a three or higher

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Mar 30 2026

Super short to the point rock album you know smoke on the water nothing super memorable but nothing too terrible it’s a solid rock album perfectly in the middle

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Mar 31 2026

The title track is fire brings back memories and so does rehab. It’s weird. I remember hearing this album a lot in the early 2000s growing up and then we all know she passed away too soon so far enjoyed it but only the main songs that made her popular. you know I’m no good is also a good playlist submission. along with back to Black. and love is a losing game it’s tragic. She died at 27. It leaves you wondering what could’ve been it’s not a perfect album but it’s pretty damn good.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Apr 01 2026

I’m just bored listening to this album yeah this might be the first album that I’ve liked one song but still give it a one star. It was very boring not my cup of tea. I mean if you like the album cool but I’m not pretending this one ain’t it it’s a no for me dog.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Apr 02 2026

All right, we’re jumping into a Time Machine I’m sure this album was an absolute banger when it got first released like they were lining up wherever they can to pick up this record but in 2026 I mean if you want to step back in time and feel like you’re in the 1920s and Gatsby‘s party I guess you could pick up this record at least it was short and only 40 minutes two stars can’t be too mean on a jazz record from the 50s. They were trying at least. 2/5

Abbey Road by Beatles
Apr 03 2026

If this was the last album, they definitely pass the audition, I think it gets a four I want you. She’s so heavy does not need to be seven minutes. Lol and while it is cool that all the songs do mess together I think we can get rid of sun king through she came through the bathroom window objectively they seem rushed, and if the band could’ve stayed happy, they probably could’ve made something better with those but it’s a damn classic album when you have come together, something here comes the sun because you never give me money and then the ending three tracks of golden slumbers carry that way in the end along with a little fun her majesty I mean it’s the Beatles dude I’m gonna have to give it a four because they were some things that just didn’t vibe with but that’s just my opinion man. Great work boys always a fun listen

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 06 2026

Trust me, I get it. It’s Jimi Hendrix and you can definitely appreciate what he doesn’t like a guitar but I don’t know how many times I’m gonna actually have him heavy in rotation, but I’ll give you this Sandcastles made out of sand 10 out of 10 along with little Wing

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Apr 07 2026

You know what green onion is probably the best instrumental album I’ve gotten so far and there’s a lot of instrumental albums on this list but I think if I’m going to give one of them five stars it’s gotta be this one and just for the simple fact of like this album is 60 years old and the amount of samples and cultural significance that were to come out of this album it’s it’s simply crazy like hip-hop to movie scores like this. It’s Mark and it probably still will be leaving. It’s Mark long after I’m gone. So here’s to you five star stars

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Apr 08 2026

Just damn there are some love songs on here that are certified bangers

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Apr 09 2026

Nothing in this album really drew me in. She’s got a strong voice. I’ll give her that and she’s pretty damn good on piano so two out of five but probably should be at one cause I didn’t save any songs.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Apr 10 2026

Gang , I’m scared Rage Help Is this the type of music they play at haunted houses? Well, they all can’t be five star albums I once knew a girl who said slipknot was her favorite album. I said cool. I didn’t know who slipknot was now that I know who slipknot is. I’m worried about her I hope she is ok I’m glad to walk away after this album is done

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 13 2026

What is solid first album by a Vegas local band nonetheless some of these songs, man they have some childhood memories to them I mean growing up you got to scream, Mr. Brightside somebody told me all the things I’ve done God I always remember hearing these songs on the drive to school nostalgia is weighing this album very well you know what I think if I need a smile throw on hot fuzz

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Apr 14 2026

Just not my vibe man I like it better than it takes a nation to hold us back just realizing I’m not really much of a public enemy fan two out of five I feel like I could hear the lyrics more than takes a nations to hold us back

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 15 2026

First ever time listening to Bob Marley album in full and I was pleasantly surprised no woman no cry, obviously hurt beforehand solid first effort and look forward to listening to more didn’t have much to compare to

Apr 16 2026

You can’t pay me has to be one of the most ridiculously wild songs in my life To think I would grow up knowing ice cube as the guy from are you there yet talk about reinvention man solid three out of five album. This album is not for everyone don’t get it twisted you definitely have to know what you’re getting into.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Apr 17 2026

This album just has an unnecessary creepy vibe don’t think I’m ever gonna return except for track number four and it’s drunken sailor but other than that, I mean it’s a short album so it doesn’t take up too much time but it also feels like you’ve wasted a lot of your time especially the last song bro so so creepy something that would be played in a serial killers layer

Pornography by The Cure
Apr 20 2026

There’s nothing really wrong with the album, but I was just bored by the project no song really hooked me in it was very quick to not even notice that it was over. I mean I did walk around a lot while I was listening to this album so maybe I wasn’t fully locked in but now there was nothing really here not the best first impression but again it wasn’t terrible.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Apr 21 2026

Can’t go wrong with Elton John tiny dancer as an opener is top-tier and it also has great songs like Leon Very strong performance. This is his fourth studio album. Sir Elton John was one of my first concerts. I’ve ever been to definitely have some bangers that live on forever.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Apr 22 2026

Nothing really special about this album couple songs they’re like OK cool I see why it’s made but nothing that will drop me back to it and I don’t know why certain artists think songs should be nine minutes long but I did like a few songs didn’t like all the comparisons in the chat to Bruce Springsteen but hey, I grew up listening to Bruce. I think Bruce is way better, but yeah, definitely some target music. didn’t really get the country comparisons also standard pop music just with some harmonica.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 23 2026

Bro, this album aged like milk Definitely not my style. I did like one song, but it felt like a chore to get through

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Apr 24 2026

A lot of hits on this record for sure Pleasantly pleasantly surprised for this album definitely will return and shocking enough. I really liked a long song private dancer, the title track seven minutes long and I enjoyed it.

Queen II by Queen
Apr 27 2026

Really enjoyed this record very unique. It’s queen Freddie Mercury’s voice isn’t that full strength yet but definitely gives a great performance. classic album glad I’m getting into Queen. Five stars enjoyed every song took a couple play through, but I found enjoyment in every song.

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 28 2026

I started out strong, but it’s starting to die out on me the first six songs of our saves then we got to lost in the supermarket took a dive after that until songs 11 and 12 The sound of the band is starting to get annoying. It was unique. We are definitely trying different things. London Collin will always be a classic, but yeah, I’m starting to get fatigued. Bangr song to end the album. Train in vain is awesome.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Apr 29 2026

Yeah, I’m not feeling this one chief first ever Madonna album. I don’t think this is the best work seven studio albums maybe I should start at the first that’s not how the cookie crumbled with this project. Very slow very airy not the mood for right now. I’m sure I will find a project that I liked from Madonna, but this one is not it.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
May 01 2026

No lyrics just guitar. I mean there were pretty solid guitar solos, but I don’t know if I could listen to a whole album of it short and sweeten to the point if you love guitar you’re gonna love this album. I was wanting more.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 04 2026

Five out of five already and I didn’t even have to listen cause I’ve listened to it so many times I absolutely love this album. It’s one of those if I ever bought it it would hang on my wall Billy Joel was a master at work on this album I can’t think of a better way to spend 42 minutes

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
May 05 2026

Great if you wanna focus a lot of the songs just flow together so I forgot to like them, but it doesn’t sound bad at all, but I don’t think I’ll be returning to it perfectly OK

Clandestino by Manu Chao
May 06 2026

Another album where did I know every single world? Hell no but was it still a vibe? Hell yeah and I think if I ever need a smile, I think I need to put on bongo bong. I’m just really enjoying Latin music right now five out of five man. I enjoyed every song.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
May 07 2026

Hey, I never got a song about a hobo before so I’ll give Rod Stewart that definitely a new perspective. I haven’t heard in a song so I guess that earns a star, but this album really did not make me wanna say hey I need to check it out more also country comfort had a nice tune and track eight was pretty good as well, but that was it again not excited to delve in two more of Rod Stewart‘s catalog so thanks for the hobo song and I’ll keep on pushing

Crazysexycool by TLC
May 08 2026

I could do without the interludes, but other than that, this was a very solid album you know big things happened with this music playing in the background. I’ll just leave it at that solid album, but I feel like the Interlude bring it down a little bit so I’m not gonna give it a five star solid four stars indeed.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
May 11 2026

It sounds good, but am I gonna remember this album probably not give me three days and I’ll forget that I’ve ever listened to this

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 12 2026

Start it off pretty strong. I’ve never heard any of the songs off the album throughout this hour long journey. The song is pretty much blended together, and I was starting to get bored of the sound.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
May 13 2026

It was almost perfect. Enjoyed the funk for sure there were some Skip songs.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
May 14 2026

I think this is what we do it for man I never or I barely heard of Steven Woodward before this project now did he blow me away but there are some definite gems on this album that I will be taking with me for examples slow down sundown I feel like that song is very hauntingly beautiful so thanks 1001 albums for bringing me this album to my attention

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 15 2026

I liked it nothing too crazy but there’s some great riffs of consciences and it came up during a good time while I was on my walk home from the gym sitting in a park I don’t know how much I remember from this album, but I think I will definitely revisit it. Give it another go, but three out of five seems like where it should be rated.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
May 18 2026

Bob Dylan reminds me a lot of my grandpa sometimes you just scratch your head and you’re like are these stories true and if they are, they’re simply legendary if they aren’t well at least you’re spending time with your grandpa. This is such a great album and one of the few Bob Dylan was where you can understand everything he’s saying and he’s not mumbling on his words an album you can dissect from 1965 to 2026 and still not figure out what he’s trying to mean absolutely love this album.

May 19 2026

Honestly, very skippable didn’t like the sound very much but the last two songs on the album saved it from being a one Along with a funny perspective, found a job, but yeah, probably never returning to this album ever again

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 20 2026

Oh, it’s definitely a mixed bag, but it was a great album to walk to work with and I’m curious to look at this band more in the future some of the lyrics was a little wonky, but it got better as I got used to the sound of the band perfectly middle of the road going to give you guys a solid three

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
May 21 2026

OK, I get the hype around Metallica if you need album to lock in I recommend this one

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
May 22 2026

This album is a little out there. I’m not gonna lie and the world definitely tends to build on you, but I think you definitely need to be on the streets in New York drunk to really get the full effect of this album. Hey gave me the song downtown train but everything but the girl does it 100 times better so I’m gonna get this album a solid three grow on me but man it was a weird one for sure drunk on the street of New York or your lost in the back rooms in a carnival setting

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
May 25 2026

Man, 1001 albums really want you to embrace the jazz again good background music you really kept the day moving while I was working at the bar, but there’s nothing really to it. I enjoyed it for what it was background music keep it pushing I don’t know how often I will return to this album, but it was pretty good. Probably the best jazz album I’ve gotten so far.

The Band by The Band
May 26 2026

It was cool I knew some songs going in nothing amazing to look into the band but it was a good listen if another band album came up I would not be mad

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 27 2026

Really nothing special about this album. I like the first Elvis Costello album This year’s model better I didn’t see the justification for including two albums of this band

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
May 28 2026

I don’t know something about listening to this album while you’re walking to work in 105° heat definitely speaks to you go to Album and I love the name of the band flying burrito Brothers. You get five stars. I enjoyed a lot of of the songs.

May 29 2026

Wasn’t for me I was able to take a song or two but I’m probably not gonna remember this album in T -3 days yup already forgot

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jun 01 2026

Cool to see that this is the album that brought us sunshine love a song. You will definitely hear on a classic rock station, and I was able to walk away with a couple new songs from cream that I didn’t know about, but nothing that pushed the needle to make it super super memorable so decent listening experience short album let’s keep it pushing three out of five

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 02 2026

Another Bob Marley another great jam session definitely an upgrade from his previous album on his list When you listen to a Bob Marley album kind of rejuvenate your soul man forces you to slow down and think that’s why I appreciate about his music. Definitely coming back to the album one song away from being a perfect five star who knows maybe that last song will grow on me and I will change this rating to a five star album but right now we’re gonna stick it with a four damn good album good job, Bob and the waiters

Jun 03 2026

Chicago had a very eclectic sound for its first album. I can’t believe. Does anybody really know what time is was on their first ever album that just amazes me there were some songs that I didn’t really mess with but solid first performance. Chicago is a great band. Look forward to hearing more from them. 1969 had some great albums. This is one of them. You can tell they took some inspiration from the Beatles Sergeant Pepper. This album gets a 5 out of five. Excited how this band grows throughout time hopefully they’re back on the list or I will do a deep dive once I complete this project

Jun 04 2026

This was an awesome wasn’t perfect. There were songs that’s a one time lesson but it definitely holds enough weight to come back to listen to it. You definitely take some elements from the Beatles if I was in 1969 listening to this album I definitely would be happy.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jun 05 2026

I was very worried how long this album was gonna take me man. It took me days to get through this. There are some gems on here but cheese and they’re few and far between. Won’t be coming back.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jun 11 2026

You know I was gonna give this album a hard time and be like damn is every Beatles album gonna be on this list and the answer is probably true. Yes every album will be on this list but hard days night surprise me on how well this album just coexist a lot of love songs so I mean if you’re in a love song mood, you’re gonna really enjoy this album but even if I wasn’t, it, just flowed solid work from the boys gotta put it up there with my favorite beetle album Sergeant Pepper‘s lonely heart club band every song had a purpose. They were all pretty damn good. Gotta give them five out of five.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jun 12 2026

The more time I spend with this album, the more it grows on me we’re having a good streak 1001 albums that’s three albums in a row of five stars something I’ve definitely don’t listen to on the daily, but this has been a fun record to dive into great find

Jun 15 2026

Simply amazing Elton John create a world in this album and it’s great to be a part of it

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jun 16 2026

Better than the last time I visited arcade fired still haven’t found a sound that makes me wanna stay for multiple play through, but we’re getting somewhere I had a good opening and a solid closing. It was just the middle that was like what are we getting to?

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 17 2026

I really enjoyed the sound of this album. I mean, I only knew Hungary like the wolf going in, but the album flowed. I enjoyed every song It was a good time while listening to it while walking to work and real the title track. It was great solid album. Well listen to it again liked mostly if not all the songs on the album. Great work Duran Duran Duran

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

It’s definitely introduction to her music very peaceful. Could see turning back to this album but nothing really blew me away perfectly middle of the road. I could see the appeal to have this on the list or you can completely move right past it. Very easy to listen to though.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jun 29 2026

Good first attempt excited to see if he returned to this list but nothing that blew me out of the way

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jun 30 2026

The first part of the album took some building to get to, but when you get to the second side of the album this too he really picks it up. Very strange album to listen to while working at a bar, but Prince definitely shows great vocal performance on this album and you can see why it’s got recommended. I barely knew any song on this album so great first listen maybe we’ll grow on me the more I listen to it, but as of right now, I think I’m gonna give it a 3

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Jul 01 2026

Damaged by Black Flag
Jul 02 2026

Tv song is great but other than that I was booed

My Generation by The Who
Jul 20 2026
