Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Mar 14 2026

A few good songs. Lots of guests and I like the mix of genres

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Mar 15 2026

Poor newstead. He got to play with his favorite band and was cast aside. I really like the with bass version. It rocks

Hms Fable by Shack
Mar 16 2026

Nice Sunday album

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 17 2026

I am not smart enough to know if this is good or bad. She seemed to be a good piano player.

Tago Mago by Can
Mar 18 2026

What the heck was that. I have no interest in listening to that again. I am not sure why this is on the list

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Mar 19 2026

1st time I’ve listened to this early Funk album. Lots of things happening, it’s a fun mix.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Mar 21 2026

The king of having a vice squeezed on his man things while he sings

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Mar 23 2026

Really really good album. I don’t know much about the guitar but this is fantastic

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 24 2026

Get me to the beach!

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 25 2026

Where the heck was that recorded in the submarine?

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Mar 26 2026

Good music but missed someone singing along

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Mar 27 2026

So interesting to think about why they made so many skits like the Dr having sex in his office.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 28 2026

Great album

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 31 2026

The more and more I listen to him. The more I like him. The movie also helped understand him a bit better.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Apr 01 2026

Not my jam

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Apr 02 2026

I felt guilty listening to it but dam he could write a song

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Apr 03 2026

This was hard to get through.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Apr 04 2026

A couple good tracks. But some were hard to listen to her voice

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Apr 06 2026

The king of pop. So many good tunes. The videos and production afterwards also help to contribute to the overall 5 star.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Apr 07 2026

Good for a renaissance fair

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Apr 08 2026

He did some fine work here. Nice blend of lyrics, beat and harmonies. I was pleasantly surprised

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Apr 09 2026

Good country album. Lots of good lyrics

Apr 10 2026

It’s not my kinda music. But I didn’t hate it as much as the rest of the 1 stars. Rock and roll survives this one

Is This It by The Strokes
Apr 11 2026

It was ok. It all kinda blended together. Not sure if it was the lead singers voice or what

Signing Off by UB40
Apr 12 2026

I didn’t hate it. But I also didn’t really like any of the songs. None of them stood out.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Apr 13 2026

I forgot how much I like Fiona. Really it was a different album than most 90s music. In a way she was in her own genre.

Rio by Duran Duran
Apr 14 2026

It was ok. I was slightly disappointed. I guess I just had High Hopes. I enjoyed it but was not blown away by any song

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Apr 15 2026

I am not sure what that was but it was not my jam. To much going on to follow. I am sure the people making this music had a hell of a time, doing Durga and hangin out.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Apr 17 2026

There are some good songs and some that are not so good. Super sad, she should have gone to rehab.

Apr 18 2026

She rubbed her legs like a cricket. Everytime I listen to the album I hear lines that make we say wow. Such a great group. Too bad Ice Cube didn’t get his $$$$$ they could have made even better.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Apr 19 2026

I didn’t hate it. It also didn’t have any songs that I liked

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 20 2026

There are a lot of good songs on this album. It made my Sunday listening to this while I played Zelda on the 64

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 21 2026

This is not my style. 3 long songs with a couple repetitive lyrics

Sister by Sonic Youth
Apr 22 2026

Some good tunes. Some bad ones

Apr 23 2026

There were some really good songs and some that had too many weird parts.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Apr 24 2026

Ummmmm. All the songs seemed the same

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Apr 26 2026

It was a decent 80s album. There were some unique blend of blues into it.

Apr 27 2026

Not sure what to say So it’s best to say nothing at all

The Doors by The Doors
Apr 28 2026

Great album. There’s some variety to make the whole album 5 star from start to finish

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Apr 29 2026

I felt like I had alligators coming for me while I was listening to this one

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Apr 30 2026

It’s certainly a decent album. There’s lots going on but no songs really grab you and say I am a hit.

Fragile by Yes
May 01 2026

I enjoyed this album. Lots going on and some songs you could jam too

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
May 02 2026

A good live album. Jam band

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
May 03 2026

It was ok. One of them has a real strange voice.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
May 04 2026

There were some good songs. A good blend between early sixties and late sixties

Be by Common
May 05 2026

Again I didn’t hate it but it was not all that good. I did not find myself liking any particular song

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
May 06 2026

Where was the hallelujah song. Kept waiting for it Other than that not sure why it made the list

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 07 2026

There is some really good guitar work. Lead vocals is a little blah

Marquee Moon by Television
May 08 2026

I like the album. It’s considered punk but clearly it’s not like 1970s punk. I would say it’s the beginning of alternative rock’s break from punk

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
May 09 2026

I guess I am not all that interested in jazz

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
May 11 2026

I really liked it. Super fun

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
May 12 2026

I I like the album. A good album to tie early 60s Motown and Gaye and wonder of the 70s

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 13 2026

This may have been the birth of metal or just a song about a metal postcard?

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
May 14 2026

I thought it was a good 80s album. There was some good music to go along with some good singing

May 15 2026

I’ll give jt two because there was instruments playing and it was not jazz but it made my head hurt

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
May 19 2026

Nothing against the skills. But I am not into listening to someone play the piano for 20 minutes at a time

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 21 2026

Half the album is as 5 star as it gets. Half the album is not really all that good so it ends up at a 4. When they were clicking there was not a better band

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
May 22 2026

I would not use this album to samba on the beach

May 27 2026

There was live music and it was not annoying. There were no real bangers like song 2 but it was ok

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
May 28 2026

So good. Just a band at its finest. I love the non hits just as much

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 29 2026

This was a great album. I enjoyed it from front to back

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
May 30 2026

I didn’t hate it like I thought I might. Some songs I actually knew as well. Queen of Detroit

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
May 31 2026

They are such a good band. Blend of everything I like

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jun 01 2026

There was live instruments which gets it to a two. Beyond that nothing stuck to make it a 3

Jun 02 2026

Oh my did it hurt listening to her wail along. I didn't like her then and this listen didn’t help her cause

1984 by Van Halen
Jun 03 2026

There was really good tracks that make you want to rock. There’s a couple that were just ok.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jun 04 2026

They had an early recipe. Talk about love and boy did the girls buy it.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jun 05 2026

Couldn’t understand a lock but I didn’t hate it. I am sure he’s a legend in Brasil

Jun 08 2026

It was a little slow. But I enjoyed listening to the lyrics and liked a couple songs.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jun 09 2026

Jun 10 2026

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Jun 11 2026

Because he’s Paul I’ll give him two stars. I didn’t enjoy the album.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jun 12 2026

I felt like I needed my lady sitting next to me for most of this album. I could have got some brownie points if I sang her the songs

Tapestry by Carole King
Jun 13 2026

I really enjoyed the album. Took me back to the 70s, I almost saw my self in the grass with long hair

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jul 04 2026
A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jul 06 2026

A good listen. It’s too bad the Rolling Stones eventually stole their thunder.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jul 07 2026

I am sure all the parents loved seeing a rock star as a devil on the album cover

Jul 08 2026

Jul 15 2026

2/3 talking heads. I feel like they brought the part of talking heads I just don’t get.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Jul 16 2026

This is one of the better albums I’ve listened to on this list. A few bangers and a couple others that are good.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jul 17 2026

I’ve never listened to them before. I think I need to dive a little more. There is some good sound in there
