Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 24 2026

Good album, would listen again. Not MJ's best though.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Mar 26 2026

Real good album, but feels more like a collection of songs than a cohesive listening experience.

Low by David Bowie
Mar 27 2026

I know plenty of Bowie, but wasn't familiar with most of this. Great stuff! Experimental, weird, and enjoyable.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 30 2026

Didn't get to listen to the whole thing, but it is top notch. Doesn't get much better, would recommend others to own it!

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Mar 31 2026

Decent, but aside from a couple hit singles, it seemed a little weak. Would maybe buy if I saw it at the record shop, but wouldn't seek it out. Enjoyable listen though.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Apr 01 2026

Listened to 2/3rds of it. Damn, should have listened sooner. Knew some of the main songs, but missed all the story telling.

Tago Mago by Can
Apr 02 2026

Well, that was quite something. Feels like good music to work to or get high to. Don't know if I would be putting it on for a roadtrip. The description claims no wasted notes. Hmmmm. Can appreciate, but in a certain place.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Apr 03 2026

Killer proto punk front to back. Amazing to think about this being from 1969! Slamming album.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 06 2026

Classic, conceptual but has so many tracks that stand on their own.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Apr 07 2026

Couple real good songs. Enjoyable in the right setting, but I don't think I would regularly sit down and listen to this one front to back. Wouldn't go out of my way to add the vinyl to my collection even though it is a classic in many ways.

Green by R.E.M.
Apr 08 2026

Good album, I can see why it is considered a classic. I would like a little more cohesion throughout. Would buy for collection if I saw it.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Apr 15 2026

Fantastic! First 5 star rating for me! Great music to work to.

Apr 16 2026

It is fine. I have always thought Streets with no name, still haven't found, and with or without you are basically the same sounding song. And to put them front loaded as the first three tracks is quite the choice. Rest of the album is meh.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Apr 17 2026

Real good, would be nice if Clapton was as good of a person as he is a guitar player.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Apr 20 2026

Slamming. Need to buy it for the collection right now!

Metallica by Metallica
Apr 21 2026

2 bangers, the rest is ok.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Apr 28 2026

Great first album, I like other Foo albums better though

Zombie by Fela Kuti
May 05 2026

Greta jams!

White Light by Gene Clark
May 06 2026

It was Ok, wouldn't seek it out, but enjoyed it while it was on.

Imagine by John Lennon
May 12 2026

Solid album front to back. Own.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
May 20 2026

New to me, pretty good working music
