Funeral by Arcade Fire

This is such a great record. Deducting a point because Win Butler is a chump.

All Ratings (155)

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 11 2026

Bowie is a blind spot for me. This was a great listen. I’ve been missing out.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Mar 12 2026

This is not for me. Some ok tracks on here but borders on novelty music

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 13 2026

This band has not aged well for me. But they still have some great songs on this record. Terrible ones like I Like Dirt bring it down.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Mar 14 2026

Maybe not one I will go back to a lot, but enjoyed it. Truly have never heard a stone roses album

Different Class by Pulp
Mar 15 2026

This is a great record. Forgot how great it was actually.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Mar 16 2026

I prefer Funeral but any Arcade Fire album is tainted by what has happened with Winn Butler. 5 years ago I probably would have given this a 4, but I hear the music differently now.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 17 2026

REM is one of my all time favorite bands so this is a little biased. And despite being an unapologetic 90s REM fan, this debut album is the best indie rock debut in history

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 19 2026

Just not super into the 80s new wave sound

Harvest by Neil Young
Mar 21 2026

Absolute classic. Not a bad track on this record.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 22 2026

Not typically my kind of music, but I really enjoyed this

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Mar 23 2026

Really enjoyed this more than I expected. Truly had never heard of this band and loved 90% of this record

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 25 2026

This is such a great record. Deducting a point because Win Butler is a chump.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Mar 26 2026

I’m sorry but this is elevator music

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Mar 27 2026

This electronica 80s stuff is just not for me. There were a couple moments where I got into this one, but most of the time no.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Mar 29 2026

Monkees are under appreciated. This is Pet Sounds level stuff

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Mar 30 2026

Pretty boring but there are some ok tracks in the back half

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 31 2026

Man I can listen to Keith Moon drum for days

On The Beach by Neil Young
Apr 01 2026

This isn’t my favorite Neil Young album but it’s still very good.

Microshift by Hookworms
Apr 02 2026

I think I would have loved this if I knew about it but when it came out

Document by R.E.M.
Apr 04 2026

Probably my favorite IRS record

Smile by Brian Wilson
Apr 05 2026

This is objectively a brilliant album musically but I find it challenging to listen to

Bad by Michael Jackson
Apr 06 2026

It’s a great record but I struggle to listen to this music anymore

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Apr 10 2026

This an excellent record by a band that later became super cheesy

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Apr 13 2026

I liked this a lot more than I expected to. Lots of layers musically.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Apr 18 2026

Paradise by the Dashboard light is awful

Kenya by Machito
Apr 19 2026
Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Apr 23 2026

This was homework

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 26 2026
Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Apr 30 2026

I hope I never have to listen to this industrial dépêche mode garbage again.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
May 01 2026

Some listenable tracks but disliked most of it

May 11 2026

I like Tainted Love but there is also a song on this album called Sex Dwarf and it’s bad

Hot Fuss by The Killers
May 12 2026

This is the first album to appear that is in my personal top 10

Orbital 2 by Orbital
May 14 2026

The first and last tracks are just obnoxious

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
May 17 2026

This is actually a good album but he loses 2 points for being Morrisey

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
May 23 2026

I have never loved the talking heads but this album was a pleasant Friday morning listen

1977 by Ash
May 24 2026

Not sure how I have never heard of these guys. This is my kind of 90s music.

Kid A by Radiohead
May 26 2026

I’m more of an In Rainbows guy

xx by The xx
Jun 05 2026
Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 07 2026
2112 by Rush
Jun 10 2026
Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jun 11 2026
The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jun 12 2026

I know people love it but this has never been for me

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jun 21 2026
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 24 2026
Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jun 28 2026

I wish I didn’t hate Morrissey because this is a good album.
