Popular Reviews

Garbage by Garbage

Does not do anything for me - it never did. I know the singles from back when they were released but they were never my favorite and the rest of the album is more of the same.

All Ratings (75)

Aja by Steely Dan
Mar 06 2026

Not my thing. If I am going to listen to that type of music I would much rather prefer Frank Zappa

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Mar 09 2026

Always a classic from start to finish. No skips.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Mar 10 2026

Good classic 50’s jazz, or at least my limited understanding of it. Not really my jam but solid example.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Mar 12 2026

Nostalgic album from college. I never got the Flaming Lips before or after this album but this one really clicked.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Mar 13 2026

Not my jam. Very 90’s. A little soul coughing, a little beastie boys. Which sounds great but did not really do it for me.

Boston by Boston
Mar 16 2026

So associated with the 70’s and the movies and shows that try to capture that time period. Pretty solid listen but it’s hard to listen to it without evoking other entertainment at this point.

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 17 2026

Does not do anything for me - it never did. I know the singles from back when they were released but they were never my favorite and the rest of the album is more of the same.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 18 2026

This album is amazing and happy to see it on the list.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Mar 19 2026

Neil Young is a bit of a blind spot for me so happy to liste to one of his classic albums

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Mar 20 2026

I can appreciate putting a Slipknot album in the mix but not this one.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 23 2026

Classic

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 24 2026

Lovely old school R&B

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Mar 26 2026

Costello is a blind spot for me and I always enjoy his stuff when I listen to it but none of it ever really sticks.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Mar 27 2026

Album not available on Apple Music. Definitely not my jam. Hippy folk r&b - Grateful Dead, etc. No thank you

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 30 2026

The boss doing country. Very solid.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Apr 01 2026

I don’t normally dig The White Stripes but this is a solid record. I enjoy the songs they don’t sound like typical Stripes the most.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Apr 03 2026

Great for what it is, 70’s glam/psych rock but not really my jam. I feel like they have inspired so much of the music of later years that it is hard to go back to the roots of the sound without it sounding like it’s been done before.

War by U2
Apr 06 2026

U2 was always a bit of a joke to me since I only knew them by their 90’s songs and stadium tours. It is interesting to go back to when they were still a bit raw.

Horses by Patti Smith
Apr 07 2026
Vulnicura by Björk
Apr 08 2026

It’s hard for me to get into a Björk album. They all end up sounding more or less the same. Her voice is so singular.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Apr 09 2026

What a character. Personally I greatly prefer his reggae/dub record aux armes et cetera.

Apr 10 2026

Never heard of this guy before but it’s a good listen. Really made me think of my father in law. Strong Pogues energy. Raucous and driven.

Tago Mago by Can
Apr 15 2026

Solid kraut rock album, but for my money I will always be a Faust man.

Apr 17 2026

Not my vibe. Can respect the songwriting and appeal but I have never caught onto the Del Rey style.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Apr 21 2026

Classic that I have not listened to in ages. Some real bangers that I completely forgot about. A bit too long since their schtick can get repetitive but I feel that way about every Beastie album.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Apr 22 2026

Just so 90’s. I was never a fan of Husker Du and that grunge/not grunge sound. I’m not sure if it’s the guitar tones or the vocal work but it just does not do it for me.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Apr 24 2026

Super groovy, although for my money I would always just go with the classic best of Al Green.

Abraxas by Santana
Apr 27 2026

Solid album. Not totally my jam but some classic cuts.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Apr 29 2026

Super psychedelic. Makes me think of Austin Powers. Some classics on here but it also is easy to see how it became a bit of a parody.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Apr 30 2026

I can dig the folky, borderline eerie sounds of the album. Not one I would spin regularly and if comes for British/Irish folk I am going with the Pogues but happy to be introduced to a band I had never heard of.

Dookie by Green Day
May 01 2026

I always resented Green Day. Coming up at this time I was down with pop punk with Offspring, Lagwagon, NoFX, etc but this band seemed like it was blessed by the gods of radio/MTV undeservedly. Tres Cool is a legend regardless.

The Libertines by The Libertines
May 06 2026

British garage rock is not my thing. I like the garage rock sound generally speaking, and certainly American bands that do it well, but I just found this boring.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
May 07 2026

I remember SFA being a thing back in college and always dismissed it based on the people listening to them. Having actually listened to them now, I can see the appeal but it’s not my thing. British psych-pop. Well done but I’ll pass.

Traffic by Traffic
May 08 2026

So much British music this week. Unfamiliar with the band but can hear their influences in later music. Interesting but not my thing.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 11 2026

Such a grimy record. I don’t think I have ever listened to it all the way through and just knew the hits. Classic and mildly cringy.

21 by Adele
May 12 2026

Absolute modern classic. No skips.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
May 13 2026

Super fuzzy psych drone record from the 80s that seems ahead of its time. Not something I would put on a regular rotation but an interesting spin. I can hear their influence in bands today.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
May 14 2026

Super fun listen that was never on my radar. I knew the name of the band but was not familiar with their stuff.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
May 15 2026

Pure 80’s fun. Quick, light blast from the past and so of their era there is no mistaking their sound and place.

London Calling by The Clash
May 18 2026

What’s left to say that hasn’t been said.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
May 19 2026

Not my scene. Bombastic yacht rock. Over the top pop synths. I get why some of them are classics but I’ll pass.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
May 20 2026

Good find. Voice reminds me of Thom Yorke and there are some Radiohead adjacent vibes. Could grow on me. First song grabbed me but much of the others fell into the background.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
May 21 2026

Never heard of them before. Have this pseudo Leonard Cohen whisper sing/talking thing. Super low key. Not really my style.

The La's by The La's
May 22 2026

Such a 90’s time capsule. Great British pop prior to the Oasis onslaught. Adorable.

Back In Black by AC/DC
May 25 2026

Growing up this what I associated with AC/DC and it wasn’t until I was older that I learned their older stuff was way better. I never liked this band because of this record. Sure the title song is solid but the rest is just lowest common denominator hard rock.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
May 26 2026

Classic electronic record. Showed how confrontational and aggressive electronic music could be instead of just dance/rave/party soundtracks.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
May 27 2026

Class if only for The Message.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
May 28 2026

Not really my jam. Very of an era and that specific sound I just never really got into. The trebley guitars were a nice precursor to some later sounds but the overall hippie/70s vibe I can't help finding overdone.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
May 29 2026

A whole album of crooning is a too much for me. A song here-and-there sprinkled into a larger swing record is fine but the I find the voice annoying after awhile. The music is great though. I do love the big band swing sound.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 01 2026

what a voice.

Metallica by Metallica
Jun 02 2026

I can't count the number of times I listened to this record back in the day when I was a teen. Absolute classic of my youth, but I don't know that it aged all that well. knowing what I know about heavy music now this was mainly special due to its reach and popularity. Still has some serious bangers but also some that were overplayed to death.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 05 2026

Always amazing

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 08 2026
Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Jun 10 2026

Some absolute classics in here that I know and love and had no idea where they came from - they were just part of the sonic landscape and permeated everywhere. It's cool to find the source.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Jun 11 2026

Bananas that this came out in the 60's. VU was so ahead of the time.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jun 12 2026

Classic. Haven't spun this in ages but is such a snapshot of an amazing time in hip hop.

Jun 15 2026

Growing up I always just heard the Best Of albums. It's nice to listen to an original album all the way through without the cherry picked "best" songs but the entire mix the way the band wanted it. Classic album.

Jun 17 2026

This was fantastic. Totally not on my radar but right up my alley.

Mask by Bauhaus
Jun 18 2026

Bauhaus is one of those 80 goth/rock groups (Joy Division, Siouxsie, Birthday Party) I know OF but never know what to listen to. This album was great.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jun 19 2026

I am all for Heart of the Sunshine and Fragile, but this album did not give me good Yes vibes.
