Amnesiac by Radiohead

This era of Radiohead is brutal. Give me The Bends all day.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla

Not as bad as I expected, but a good record to cure insomnia.

Brothers by The Black Keys

Bossanova by Pixies

Still like Doolittle more, although Velouria is their best song.

Green by R.E.M.
Mar 27 2026

Might have been my first exposure to REM. I love the IRS albums too, but this production on this when you can hear the vocals is better. This album begins my favorite era of this amazing band.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Mar 30 2026

I appreciate some of his music, but I was kind of bored by this album.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 01 2026

Amazing side one. One of the best sides ever. The side two is mediocre.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 04 2026

so glad I did the steep dive. I’ve never listened to this album full because it’s so long I didn’t and I didn’t think I’d like it, but biggie‘s flow is unparallel and some of the lyrics make you flat out laugh. It’s probably still a bit too long, but too many skits in between songs, but I can understand the reverence for it now.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 07 2026
Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Apr 10 2026

His best and most consistent album.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Apr 27 2026

The reviews here are crazy. This is a masterpiece album. The cultural appropriation that accusations are way over blown. He’s branching out from Simon & Garfunkel and isn’t afraid to try a lot of different things. Some of them worked, some of them not so much, but this album really shows him growing as an artist.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Apr 30 2026

There’s a certain level of weird I would go to, and this is beyond that. It’s like Queen mixed with a the B-52’s, only not as good as either. I disliked it from the very first song, which I heard is their most well-known one. That was true. It only got worse from there.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
May 07 2026

Is this a joke? Why would anyone need to listen to this?

Sister by Sonic Youth
May 10 2026
Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 11 2026
Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
May 12 2026

This is why you do this project. To find gems you didn’t know existed

Amnesiac by Radiohead
May 14 2026

This era of Radiohead is brutal. Give me The Bends all day.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 16 2026

His best album. Such a great collection of songs.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 17 2026
Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
May 20 2026

Instant classic. Adam Granduciel is a genius. His next two albums are also very good.

Cross by Justice
May 21 2026
Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
May 22 2026

Essential album. One of the best three song stretches ever to open side two.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
May 25 2026

A great album to cure insomnia.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
May 26 2026

Absolute masterpiece. Thought not even their best.

Goo by Sonic Youth
May 27 2026

This is why you do this. I’ve never heard this before, and now can’t stop listening. So good!

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 29 2026
Jun 03 2026

Seriously? This is crap! Brimful of Asha is fun for five minutes. It is definitely not fun for 55 minutes.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Jun 05 2026

This is why you do this project. I have heard about tios album but would probably never voluntarily listen to it just based on the album title. It’s more fun and less esoteric thank I would have imagined.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jun 07 2026

It’s perfectly fine music to pick up your prescriptions to. She has a great voice. But I’m not sure why it’s here. It’s not innovative or groundbreaking or influential in any way.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jun 09 2026

Some absolute bangers on this album. Maybe a few too many musical interludes.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jun 10 2026

Not as bad as I expected, but a good record to cure insomnia.

Tommy by The Who
