Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Mar 24 2026

Style of music sadly just not my bag. Some minor Dylan-esque parts, but mostly just that style of American music isn’t a favourite.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Mar 25 2026

Awesome! Some classic bangers after a few samey songs at the start. A very long album but enjoyable all the way through.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 26 2026

Just not my style, sadly. Not sure why.

Dookie by Green Day
Mar 27 2026

Banger overall. Some tracks aren’t as polished as I’d like.

2112 by Rush
Mar 30 2026

Really enjoyed the craziness. Not what I was expecting.

Spiderland by Slint
Apr 03 2026

Really enjoyed it. Nice ska-ish sound.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 06 2026

Banger

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Apr 13 2026

Rocking. Cool vibes, but some a little samey. 4.5

B-52's by The B-52's
Apr 18 2026

Ok, but a bit samey and not quite my thing

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Apr 20 2026

Just not a jazz fan

American Idiot by Green Day
Apr 21 2026

4.5. Cracker. Some songs less banging than others.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Apr 24 2026

Ok but just eminently forgettable.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
May 01 2026

Me no like reggae.

Rio by Duran Duran
May 03 2026

Only OK. Couldn’t get into it.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
May 04 2026

Musically ‘good’ but too sweaty, racist, violent, deep-south feeling. Not my cuppa T.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 05 2026

Pink Moon is my favourite, but this is up there. A touch melancholy at times, and sublime at others.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
May 17 2026

Really nice. Cracking voice. Feels like music you’d need to be in the mood for, though, sadly.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
May 19 2026

Fascinating but also quite depressing. Unlikely to relisten.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
May 21 2026

Some of it is cool, Talking Heads-y, most is too weird.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
May 24 2026

It bangs. Cracking guitar and drums.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
May 25 2026

Uhh, it was OK. Not great. Some songs had to be skipped, others were vaguely enjoyable.

Transformer by Lou Reed
May 28 2026

2.5. Two good ones, but the rest do nothing for me.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 29 2026

Pretty meh for an Arcade Fire album.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
May 30 2026

Pretty enjoyable, but not so much that I’d be likely to relisten. A little too polished, somehow.

Jun 01 2026

3.5. Not as good as you want it to be, but gas some great tunes. Quite like Cherry Ghost.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jun 02 2026

I like it, but it’s not the kind of thing I’d typically listen to. 3.5.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Jun 03 2026

What the banana sandwiches!? It’s like someone sharted into a mic!

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jun 06 2026

Me liked it. Enjoyable, with a couple of heavy hittrrs too.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jun 09 2026

Really enjoyed it. Great background music.

White Light by Gene Clark
Jun 11 2026

Quite enjoyable but also quite throwaway.

Future Days by Can
Jun 14 2026

It banged. Sounds so modern!

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jun 15 2026

It’s … not good. Something for the weekend is by far the standout.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jun 16 2026

Enjoyed it. Not sure how often I would be inclined to listen to it though. 3.5

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jun 18 2026

It’s very samey. But I do like Rod Stewart.

Nowhere by Ride
Jun 19 2026

I think it’s a good un. My listening has just been so disjointed and I need to move on.

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

It’s fun to listen to, but quite samey. Not crap like modern rap sounds to me.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 22 2026

Sorry. I find it boring and ever so samey.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jun 23 2026

Sorry. The Doors just give me the ick. I don’t know why.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jun 25 2026

Relatively enjoyable if not a lottle repetitive. I agree that it’s odd to find it on this list - although it isn’t the first within this subcategory.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Jun 26 2026

Really liked it. 4.5

All Directions by The Temptations
Jun 27 2026

Liked it a lot. Didn’t loove it.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jun 28 2026

It’s meh. I’ll give it that. I imagine it’s what dying in a warm bath feels like.

Blur by Blur
Jul 04 2026

It’s very … eclectic. In this case, eclectic mostly means crap.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jul 07 2026

I like that people like it; it should be liked. I don’t like it.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Jul 10 2026

Pretty good. Deserves a closer relisten.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jul 12 2026

Most songs sound like they were made for an animated film about a plucky giraffe. It’s just … meh, with the exception of Shake It Off. 2.5

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jul 14 2026

Me likey. I think it’d have to be background music, if you weren’t at the concert. 3.5-4.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jul 16 2026

Whaaaa? It’s the same song.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jul 17 2026

Whaaaaa??? This be garbagio.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 18 2026

Solid album. Only Voodoo Doll is shit.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jul 20 2026

Nah. Not a metal guy. I tried.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jul 21 2026

It’s … ok. I don’t think I like them as much as I thought I did.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jul 22 2026

Yes, the guy is a massive sack. Honestly, I have removed the man from the music, and this album was formative for me. It’s my favourite ever album.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Jul 23 2026

I like it, but my listening has been disjointed. Definitely worth a revisit. 3.5-4.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jul 25 2026

10/5. One of my absolute favourites. So much of my adolescence is here.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jul 26 2026

Enjoyable, but really not what I’d typically choose to listen to.

Horses by Patti Smith
Aug 05 2026

Very meh.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Aug 08 2026

Many of the songs bang bang, but not all bang.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Aug 09 2026

I think 3.5. I enjoy it, but would I add it to a listening list? No.
