Good opening track. Overall consistent

Mar 21 2026

When Doves Cry. I Would Die 4 U. Baby I’m a Star. PURPLE RAIN.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Mar 24 2026

Nothing really special in my opinion

Dry by PJ Harvey
Mar 26 2026

I didn’t find much special in this but as a one time listen was a good experience.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Mar 27 2026

I guess it’s a cool one time listen but I never see myself coming back to this

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Mar 29 2026

Country has never been my thing and I doubt it ever will.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 30 2026

I honestly did not find anything special in this and don’t see anything worth coming back to

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Apr 01 2026

This must have been impressive at the time and still is now. Still a 2/5 only because I don’t listen to music without vocals.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Apr 02 2026

In the middle on this one I don’t really know what to say or whether to give it a 2 or 3

Apr 03 2026

Cool and fun listen looking forward to see what other metal albums I come across on this list.

Who's Next by The Who
Apr 04 2026

Mixed opinions on this but I’ll give it a 3

Vulnicura by Björk
Apr 05 2026

I’ve head a lot of good things from bjork and I didn’t really like this I hope any other entries on here are better.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 06 2026

Started strong but lost interest in it towards the second half

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Apr 07 2026

Pretty consistent but still felt less interesting to me in the second half.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Apr 08 2026

Pop punk used to be one of my favorite genres and listening to this was really fun. I give it 3.5

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Apr 09 2026

Not really into jazz and to be fair most music before the 60s has never appealed to me

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Apr 10 2026

While I am familiar with Pink Floyd. This solo work doesn’t really appeal to me as much as pink Floyd albums would. 5/10

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Apr 11 2026

I’m completely blind to Led Zeppelin and this was a great introduction to them. 7/10

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 12 2026

Funk rock is such a fun genre to listen to and most albums from this genre that I’ve listened to always get a good rating. For this one I’m in between a 7 or 8/10

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Apr 13 2026

Everyone’s heard Where is My Mind? 6/10

1984 by Van Halen
Apr 14 2026

This iconic cover with some iconic songs.Has a consistent flow and didn’t feel bored in any part of it. 8/10

Teen Dream by Beach House
Apr 15 2026

Everything on here except for 10 Mile Stereo felt boring to me. 5/10

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Apr 16 2026

Jazz has never been my thing unless it’s incorporated into something like pop or rap. 5/10

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Apr 17 2026

Some of these songs sound familiar but I can’t pinpoint when or where I might have heard some of them. 6/10 overall

All Directions by The Temptations
Apr 18 2026

I don’t usually play older soul music. A lot of these songs sound good and I could see myself coming back to some of them. 7/10

Odelay by Beck
Apr 19 2026

I do like when rap mixes rock sounds and vice versa. But I couldn’t help but feel bored to most of these songs. 5/10

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Apr 20 2026

I’ve never really been into folk. 5/10

Apr 21 2026

Has a lot of solid tracks as well as the famous Bohemian Rhapsody. 7/10

Tago Mago by Can
Apr 22 2026

This has a 4/5 (8/10) on RYM but it’s nowhere near the score I would give it. 4/10 I didn’t like it.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Apr 23 2026

Surprised to see it’s only 2 songs. It at least managed to keep my attention longer than the other instrumental albums so far. 6/10

No Other by Gene Clark
Apr 24 2026

Honestly did not find many songs that interesting. 5/10

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Apr 25 2026

This “Fast Car” is 100x better than the one the radio plays now. I also liked “Baby Can I Hold You.” 6/10

Phrenology by The Roots
Apr 26 2026

This has a lot of great tracks and I would definitely recommend this to others. 8/10

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Apr 27 2026

Britpop has become one of my favorite genres in the last year. 7/10

Bossanova by Pixies
Apr 28 2026

This has a great mix and bunch of songs I enjoyed listening to. 7/10

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Apr 29 2026

Noise Rock is not my cup of tea so I personally don’t find any enjoyment in this. 4/10

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 01 2026

Weird how I had this on my Spotify library even though it’s not available on it. 7/10 would listen again.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
May 03 2026

This is the same as the previous. Felt burnt out at the end. 6/10

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
May 04 2026

Has a vibe to it and would be willing to play some songs again. 6/10

Frank by Amy Winehouse
May 05 2026

I’d listen to some of these songs stand alone but I don’t know about the whole album. 6/10

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 06 2026

Pretty much the biggest album of all time but I’ve always preferred Off The Wall more. 7/10

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
May 07 2026

Some parts of this feels like they drag on a bit. But not bad. 6/10

Liquid Swords by GZA
May 08 2026

It seems like 80s and early 90s rap never gets a good rating from me. This era honestly doesn’t appeal to me all much. 5/10

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
May 09 2026

Legit one of the most essential albums ever and it has a lot of songs worth replaying along with their other album What’s The Story (Morning Glory) 7/10

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 10 2026

This offers a great selection of songs that I would come back and listen to. 7/10

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
May 11 2026

I don’t know I don’t really like this one. 5/10

I Should Coco by Supergrass
May 12 2026

Had like 2 or 3 great songs the rest I wouldn’t say is as good. 6/10

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 14 2026

I didn’t realize when I got to the last song. 6/10

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
May 15 2026

Has a great choice of songs I especially enjoy listening to the title track and “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.” 7/10

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
May 16 2026

Has a vibe to it. I enjoyed this more than “Frank.” Probably a 6 or 7/10

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
May 17 2026

It’s an ok listen but am unsure of what specific songs I would come back to. 6/10

Berlin by Lou Reed
May 18 2026

I thought a much better job was done on “Transformer.” 6/10

Moon Safari by Air
May 19 2026

“You Make It Easy” is a great song but I felt pretty bored to the rest of the album. I would give this a 5/10 at most…

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
May 20 2026

This was a great listen and I was hooked from the first song. Pretty consistent and I will definitely save some of these songs. 8/10

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
May 21 2026

Starts off strong but unfortunately I kinda lost it towards the end. 6/10

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
May 22 2026

I can’t really see myself replaying most of these songs other than “Jazz Police” but I will say the instrumentals in this album are well done. 6/10

Low by David Bowie
May 23 2026

I never know how to rate instrumental albums as I never come back to actually listen to them. With this one being half instrumental I guess I would give it a 6/10

90 by 808 State
May 24 2026

This would be great video game soundtrack I’d give it a 6/10

The Score by Fugees
May 25 2026

This has so many great songs and I’m surprised Lauryn Hill and Fugees aren’t usually mentioned as the best hip hop artists. 8/10

Tidal by Fiona Apple
May 26 2026

Art pop is something I haven’t really touched yet. This was a pretty solid introduction to Fiona Apple. 6/10

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
May 27 2026

Has a consistent sound at throughout the entire album. I actually kinda liked this I would give it a 7/10

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
May 28 2026

Fun listen from beginning to end. A lot of songs here can be replayed, 7/10.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
May 29 2026

Had a strong closer track but overall was not too intrigued by this. 5/10

Dummy by Portishead
May 30 2026

I like the vocals and the production. Consistent throughout the whole album and I will definitely be saving these songs to playlists. 8/10

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
May 31 2026

There were a couple of standout tracks on here but others had me lost and uninterested. 6/10

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jun 01 2026

No this just comes out as really bad to me why would I ever listen to this type of music. It’s literally just noise and the beginning already had me so turned off. I wonder how much this will affect my algorithm or maybe it won’t at all since I skipped through so many tracks. 1/10

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 02 2026

This is literal peak and perfection compared to yesterday’s awful album (Kollaps album). So many great tracks and it’s an easy 8 or 9/10

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 03 2026

Sounds the same throughout pretty much most of the album. I also don’t like the vocalist. 5/10 or 6/10 on a generous day.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jun 04 2026

This had a fun rhythm to it and I think it does a good job of representing The Samba and MPB genres. 7/10

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Jun 05 2026

Has a fair share of songs I wouldn’t replay but others that sound great. I’m starting to notice 80+% of my scores are a 6/10.

Jun 06 2026

Probably one of the top 3 most essential albums of all time. Has great run from start to finish and manages to keep your attention until the very end. 8/10

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Jun 07 2026

Felt kinda bored with this one. None of the songs really had my attention it just felt like good background noise. 5/10

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jun 09 2026

A classic that deserves at least one listen even if you aren’t a Coldplay fan. This is the only album I’ve heard in full other than Moon Music and I would give this a 7/10

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jun 10 2026

This unfortunately comes out as boring to me. Not a single track stood out to me and wouldn’t really listen to this again. 5/10

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jun 11 2026

This felt consistently boring throughout. I couldn’t even finish it in one sitting. 4/10

The Band by The Band
Jun 12 2026

Not much that special but I didn’t find it bad or boring. 6/10

Jun 13 2026

I’m not a fan of these instrumental electronic albums or any instrumental albums in general and it seems like either this list has too many of them or I’m just generating them way too often. 6/10

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jun 14 2026

It’s funny generating an album about what I was complaining about the previous day. This list has too many instrumental albums. This just makes good background noise it’s not something that would get my attention. 5/10

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jun 15 2026

3 albums in a row following what I’ve been complaining about for the past 3 days. I haven’t even reached 100 albums yet and I feel like at least 20 of my generated so far follow this formula of instrumental no lyric albums. This one had 1 song that actually had lyrics on. I’m honestly mad how many more of these do I have to sit through I’m apparently unlucky enough to generate these this freaking often. 4/10

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jun 16 2026

About time I got something interesting again. I was really starting to get tired of these repetitive generated albums. I’ve been hoping to get another metal album as it’s a genre I really want to get in to. This is also the first Metallica album I’ve listened to. 7/10

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jun 17 2026

Widely considered by many to be Prince’s Magnum Opus, his greatest accomplishment, his masterpiece. I don’t really disagree with it but I’m personally way more of a Purple Rain and Dirty Mind fan. 7/10

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 18 2026

I would play some of these songs again. I think a 7/10 might be too high but I’ll let it slide this time.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jun 19 2026

Album has repetitive sound to it but to be fair most of this list has repetitive sounding records. 6/10 is highest I can give.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jun 20 2026

Honestly a great listen through I especially liked the closing track. 7/10

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Jun 21 2026

Boring from start to end with no standout moment for me. 4/10 is generous

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jun 22 2026

A bit of a switch up from 90% of this list so far. Still didn’t find anything that special but I’m glad to finally see an entry for Latin music and not another rock or electronic album… 5/10

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jun 23 2026

Thought this was an interesting sounding album. I like the mix of soul, funk, and pop/rock? 7/10

Jun 24 2026

ALBUM #100. Finally reached the triple digits and about 1/10th of the way there. Now for this album I think it had a weak start for me but towards the second half I actually started enjoying it a lot more. 7/10

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Jun 25 2026

I wasn’t really expecting anything from this but I’m glad it turned it to be enjoyable. I’ll give it a 7/10

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 26 2026

Pretty good and consistent and defined worth replaying. 7/10

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jun 27 2026

Thought it was pretty cool. Would relisten again 7/10

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Jun 28 2026

I would give this a higher rating but honestly the length of this was what was really getting to me. 6/10 has some good standalone songs but wouldn’t play the album front to back

Jun 29 2026

It managed to keep me somewhat interested and I like the atmosphere it goes for. 6/10

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jun 30 2026

Found this pretty boring with no standout track. 5/10

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Jul 01 2026

This manages to stay interesting all the way through and it’s a nice switch since this list seems to not have many rap records so far. 7/10

Jul 02 2026

Didn’t have issues up until the the second half. I got bored and wondered when the album would end. 6/10 at best

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jul 03 2026

I think it was a fun listen and I would come back to this again. 7/10

Different Class by Pulp
Jul 04 2026

I’ve listened to this at least 10 times before, it’s a perfect Britpop album and I have it as 9/10 on RYM. Extremely Recommended. Favorite Song is Monday Morning.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Jul 05 2026

I see the idea it wants to push for but it fails to keep me interested through the majority. 5/10

Is This It by The Strokes
Jul 06 2026

Unfortunately I fail to see the hype in this one. Nothing really felt like the praise I’ve heard about this Album and The Strokes in general. 6/10

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jul 07 2026

I’d put this on as background noise but it’s not something I will play and really listen to. 5/10

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jul 08 2026

I do see why most people like this but unfortunately I’m the odd one out. 5/10

Jul 09 2026

Managed to stay interesting throughout and I personally did not feel anything negative towards these songs. 7/10

Suede by Suede
Jul 10 2026

Has a solid selection of songs I find replayable. I’ve also enjoyed most Britpop albums on this list so far. 7/10

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jul 11 2026

It’s a great listen but couldn’t help but think some of it started to sound a bit repetitive. 7/10

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jul 13 2026

I didn’t really like this and the confusing tracklist doesn’t make it it any better. 5/10

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 14 2026

Has a pretty good selection of songs and I thought it was pretty enjoyable. 7/10

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Jul 15 2026

Great listen from beginning to end I thought it managed to stay interesting. I think this can get a 7/10

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jul 16 2026

I really doubt this genre will ever make a striking impact on me. This is a highly rated album but I feel nothing towards it. 5/10

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jul 17 2026

I would replay these songs standalone but as an album in full I unfortunately sturuggled. 6/10

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jul 18 2026

This wasn’t as interest as I thought it would be. Unfortunate 6/10

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jul 20 2026

“Superstition” and “Blame It On The Sun” might be the best songs this I’ve heard from this entire 1001 list so far. This album gets an 8/10.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jul 21 2026

Only issue I got with this would be its length. Other than that this is really consistent and would listen again. 7/10

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jul 22 2026

Was literally thinking about this exact album yesterday what… Anyways this is such a great album some parts did feel dragged and that’s what stops it from giving it a 9 or even possibly a 10 with enough listens. I’ll give an 8/10.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Jul 23 2026

Interesting name. I also don’t know how to rate this. 5/10? Not my cup of tea

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 24 2026

This person can literally replace Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. As for the album, didn’t any really outstanding tracks but the mood and vibe it sets is alright. 6/10

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jul 25 2026

Another Boring Bob Dylan album. I assume a bunch of Bob albums are on this list and out of the 2 I’ve listened to I did not enjoy them. 5/10 at most.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jul 26 2026

I only know like 2 FF songs so this a great introduction to them. 7/10

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jul 27 2026

Probably one of if not the best Disco Album of all time. And my personal favorite MJ Album. 8/10

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 28 2026

I did feel a little bored towards the end but nothing too crazy. It was a good listen overall. 7/10

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Jul 29 2026

Pretty enjoyable I have nothing negative to say about it. 7/10 would listen again

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jul 30 2026

2nd album I’ve heard from Tim and it was just a little bit less boring than Happy Sad. 5/10

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jul 31 2026

Cool album cover. Can’t say the same for the music. It was boring from start to end and not one song stood out to me. 4/10

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Aug 01 2026

This is the third Bob Dylan album within the last 10 ish days and it’s been the third Bob Dylan I’ve struggled to get through. I at least had a better time with this one than the previous 2. Unlike Highway 61 and Blood on the Tracks this one actually had a decent songs I wouldn’t mind playing again. Unlike the others that only had 1 song each. 6/10

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Aug 02 2026

Eh it’s instrumental electronic music that is a bit too long in my opinion 5/10 it did have some fun sounding parts though…

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Aug 03 2026

The only issue I have with this is that it feels like it drags on too long to keep me fully interested. 6/10

xx by The xx
Aug 04 2026

Alright for what it wants to do. There’s like 2 songs that stood out but nothing much to really surprise me. 6/10

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Aug 05 2026

Ok listen but there’s no real reason for coming back to a relisten. 6/10
