After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Mar 25 2026

The whole thing was fine. I thought it was fairly repetitive.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 26 2026

All I think about is the scene in the office with Michael and Darryl in the moving truck when Darryl is teaching Michael the Blues. It's the same song.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 28 2026

Love this album, so many great songs. It's crazy to think of all the hits he got out of this one.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 30 2026

I liked this more than I thought I would. I hadn't heard of them at all, but it was right up my alley

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Mar 31 2026

I liked this a lot. Felt very blues-rocky to me. Almost a 5

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Apr 01 2026

Really not my style. I can respect it and she's very talented but I will likely never listen to it again

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Apr 02 2026

Good, fits right in with a lot of the stuff from that era. Considering I had never heard of them and they don't sound out of place next to any of those bands is kind of sad. Surprised they didn't make it bigger

Sister by Sonic Youth
Apr 03 2026

I really liked this one. I have been meaning to listen to more Sonic Youth, I'm glad I did. This was close to a 5 for me.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 04 2026

not as good as the other bob marley album but still excellent

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Apr 05 2026

It's fine, just not something I'm ever going to listen to again or really appreciate.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Apr 06 2026

there's no bad excuse for another listen of Nevermind, 6 stars.

Kid A by Radiohead
Apr 07 2026

super disappointed in this one. 1 star bonus for being 90s

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Apr 08 2026

I had 0 clue what to expect with this but it certainly wasn't that. I felt this was the most up and down album so far. Some tracks I was thinking wtf am I listening to while others I really enjoyed. Unlikely to ever listen to it again though

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Apr 09 2026

I've heard most of it, but still a great album. No notes.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Apr 10 2026

I did not see this one coming. I kind of assumed I wasn't going to like this but it was funky and fun, definitely enjoyed listening to it. Went through it a couple of times.

Green by R.E.M.
Apr 11 2026

This is another one I only knew the hits off of, excellent album all around though. I think Orange Crush might be my favorite REM song.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 12 2026

I didn't hate it but I've been disappointed with the radiohead stuff so far. I don't know much of their catalog so I've been excited to try them

The Stooges by The Stooges
Apr 13 2026

this was just plain boring to me, I couldn't wait to be done with it.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Apr 14 2026

I think this is my favorite album we have done so far. Banger after banger

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Apr 16 2026

This was pretty decent, definitely better than I expected

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 17 2026

I'll be honest, I listened to 2 songs. This genre is NOT for me

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 18 2026

I enjoyed this, classic 70s stuff here

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Apr 19 2026

Not a ton to say about this one. I had never heard of them before. I like it, almost a 4, but I don't know that I'll seek them out

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Apr 20 2026

Another genre just not for me, I did listen to the whole thing this time though

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Apr 21 2026

I don't usually love 80s metal, it's fine, but not my favorite. This was really good. I knew number of the beast well. Hallowed Be Thy Name sounds really familiar to me. I wonder if it was on rock band/guitar hero.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Apr 22 2026

Not much more needs to be said about this. I don't even typically like pop music, but this is another level.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Apr 23 2026

I am pretty sure track 1 is the worst thing I have ever heard. The album has some moments that are okay but this was a tough listen. It reminds me of a french Rammstein but way way way worse.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish
Apr 24 2026

I didn't expect to like this at all. I was very pleasantly surprised. I don't know what it is, but I was into most of the songs

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Apr 25 2026

Dolly actually does my favorite country song (of which I don't like many) but I didn't like this album much at all. It felt whiney and awful. Granted, country has to be my least favorite genre so it's already fighting an uphill battle for me

Make Yourself by Incubus
Apr 26 2026

such a great album, classic from my high school days. Awesome to revisit it. I never really did listen to the whole thing front to back but it's got a lot of hits on it.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Apr 27 2026

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I need to listen to more Lenny

Apr 28 2026

somewhere between a 1-2. He's such a bad singer I have a real hard time listening to him. His songs make for great covers though so that's why I went 2.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 29 2026

I've never been a huge beatles fan. I'm sure it was great when they were novel but at this point the music sounds derivative because music is derivative of them. Still a good album though. Lots of hits and I enjoyed listening to it

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Apr 30 2026

It's good, I won't really ever seek out this kind of music but it's impressive. I did give it a bonus star because I pictured snoopy the entire time

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
May 02 2026

The 60s music is really just not for me. I like the Boxer, not much else.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
May 03 2026

More 60s music, I still can't get into it, this is worse.

Signing Off by UB40
May 04 2026

Love me some reggae, this is another great one.

Metallica by Metallica
May 05 2026

Love Metallica, love this album, perfect 6 stars. I always get albums mixed up because i almost never just listen to an album, but i didn't realize how many of their big songs was on this one. I also thought Enter Sandman was more recent (like mid to late 90s).

Connected by Stereo MC's
May 06 2026

I didn't recognize the artist immediately but as soon Connected started playing I knew instantly. This genre isn't usually up my alley but this was an enjoyable listen.

Abraxas by Santana
May 07 2026

I liked this a lot. Going into it I was thinking I barely knew any santana songs, and the ones I did know were on this album. Good stuff

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
May 08 2026

60s but I enjoyed it. Was pleasantly surprised. Nothing remarkable about this one though.

My Generation by The Who
May 09 2026

60s music strikes again. I still don't love it. The who are pretty good though. Barely makes a 3 for me.

London Calling by The Clash
May 11 2026

I like the title track and Stand by Me a lot. I knew both of them coming in, but nothing else really stood out as spectacular

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
May 12 2026

I started out enjoying it but it got really samey and boring, next!

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
May 13 2026

Decent listening while working. Won't seek it out to play again though.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
May 14 2026

Classic stuff here. I hadn't listened to much of them before but this was really good.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
May 15 2026

This one was decent enough. More stuff I just won't seek out to listen to again

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
May 16 2026

Jazz is gonna be a tough sell for me. It's good but it blends in to the background.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
May 17 2026
Low by David Bowie
May 19 2026

I don't know much about Bowie but I liked this one

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
May 21 2026

I just don't love jazz. As far as jazz goes this seems good though. He's quite talented.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 24 2026

This was better than I expected

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
May 25 2026

There was no subtlety at all with these lyrics, they just felt really try hard to me. The music was okay but the "america is stupid" over and over was jarring, and I'm usually not one to pay much attention to lyrics.

Purple Rain by Prince
May 26 2026

This one varied in quality for me wildly but definitely more good than bad. I had never heard much of prince outside of the hits so this was definitely a fun listen for me

Rio by Duran Duran
May 28 2026

This whole album is peak 80s. Smash hits and the rest of the songs were great too.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
May 29 2026

Love me some Jane's Addiction. Jane Says and Mountain Song were the only ones I knew coming in, but the rest were good too.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
May 30 2026

This isn't quite peak Jimi for me but still really good

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jun 01 2026

This is a pretty average 70s rock album. I enjoy it well enough.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jun 02 2026

I didn't expect to love this nearly as much as I did. I need to listen to more Stevie

The Doors by The Doors
Jun 03 2026

finally some good 60s music. I think they do get better from this album but it's still really good

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jun 05 2026

This showed promise but fell really hard really fast. I can’t quite give it a 1 but it’s extremely close

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jun 06 2026

Very much blended into the background for me. I didn't hate it but I won't be listening again.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 07 2026

This was a really fun album. I was surprised that the covers were done just a year after the initial release. Usually the songs get a little time to breathe before they're covered.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Jun 08 2026

Decent 60s music but still not totally up my alley

Marquee Moon by Television
Jun 09 2026

This was surprising and really good! I have never heard of them before which is kind of surprising. This music fits right in with everything else that was popular.

D by White Denim
Jun 11 2026

This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find with this project. Newerish music that I hadn't heard before but is really good.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Jun 12 2026

Pretty okay overall. I liked a few of the songs, really disliked a few as well, but overall I could listen to it while working.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jun 13 2026

This was excellent, I had only known the radio hits but the rest was really good

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jun 14 2026

I really liked this a lot. Most of the songs had me rockin and I had to look at what it was, then I remembered I was still listening to this. The super deluxe was like 30 songs, not sure if the original was as well. Obviously Layla is the standout here, but plenty of others were very good as well. Docked 1 star for Clapton being a dick

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jun 15 2026

The album as a whole was good and very much listenable. Some of it was kind of boring but Rikki reminds me of my mom so the album is getting a 4.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jun 16 2026

Good album, Psycho Killer was the only one I knew before.

Jun 17 2026

I like most of this, only knew brimful of asha before this. There were just a few really weird tracks sprinkled in there I didn't much care for bringing it down to a 4 for me.

1999 by Prince
Jun 18 2026

Prince has typically not been my favorite, but this project has me kind of coming around on him. A lot of the videos I've seen of his live performances are on a completely different tier too.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jun 19 2026

meh, not really my thing, I can appreciate the experimentation though

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jun 20 2026

I liked this radiohead album much better than the rest so far. Karma Police, Paranoid Android, No Surprises and Airbag are bangers, the rest is meh but not awful.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jun 21 2026

Not really much to say. It fits right in with what I typically listen to. Good stuff.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jun 22 2026

I have always thought the beatles were way over rated. I don't think they're bad, just not the greatest gift to music to be universally loved. I do think they generally suffer from being the first to do so many things that have become so commonplace that it's not novel anymore. That said, almost all of my favorite beatles songs are on this album. I can't give it a 5 because there are a bunch of songs I really do no like. Come Together, Something, I Want You, Here Comes The Sun are peak music. The rest, I don't care as much for.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jun 23 2026

This is right up my alley, Last Nite is one of the best. I have only really heard their radio songs, but all of these are very good.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Jun 25 2026

They managed to take everything I dislike about 60s music and modernize it. Pass.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jun 26 2026

I liked this better than I thought I would though still not a ton

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jun 27 2026

I wasn't really feeling this one. It's interesting enough but kind of boring for me.

Harvest by Neil Young
Jun 28 2026

I liked this a lot more than the last one of his we listened to. Heart of Gold and Old Man are the standouts here.

Phrenology by The Roots
Jun 29 2026

I was very excited to see the roots on here! I discovered them when I spent a year living in Philly in 99. They're from Philly so they were beloved there. It's good stuff.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jun 30 2026

fuck this guy. But his music is surprisingly good, not my normal genre but I really enjoyed it.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jul 01 2026

It's good, not great, kind of what I expected

Skylarking by XTC
Jul 02 2026

I was all back and forth between 3 and 4 on this as I was listening to it. Some of the songs I really liked and some were really mediocre. Landed on a 4

Debut by Björk
Jul 04 2026

Human Behavior is one of my favorite songs. The rest is also very good

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jul 06 2026

This was really good. I knew a few of the songs already but nice to hear the whole album

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jul 07 2026

Perfection, definitely one of my favorites

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jul 09 2026

this is not very good. Pass

Aja by Steely Dan
Jul 11 2026

Decent

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jul 12 2026

Nice to see a bit of grunge on here. I have always wanted to check out more sonic youth. This was pretty meh for me. I assume they have later stuff that is probably much better?

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jul 13 2026

I feel like I didn't appreciate this album for what it was when it came out. I am such a sucker for any singer that exudes the passion she does when she sings. I don't even care about talent nearly as much. I owned this album in the 90s and liked it well enough but this is so much better to me now.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 14 2026

60s music that isn't terrible

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 17 2026

Bruce just isn't for me. A couple decent songs but I will likely not listen to this again

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 18 2026

I don't know how to feel about this. I don't really like this kind of music, but it's got a groove for sure. The first song reminded me so much of Flight of the Conchords they had to have been heavily inspired by this. I went back and forth between a 1 and like 3.5 but I'm gonna settle on a 3.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jul 21 2026

I was excited for this because I love their hits and wanted to hear more. Fairly disappointed in a lot of the other songs though. It's a big roller coaster for me between stuff I really like and stuff I'd skip if I heard it again.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jul 22 2026

Pretty cool album, love the title track of course. Hadn't heard any of the others but they were fun to listen to.

Jul 23 2026

It really feels like they had something but they coudn't quite put it together. The vocals on that first song were laughable. It's almost like they tried to be too counter culture? I don't know. It didn't come together.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jul 24 2026

There were no songs i loved or hated so the album title is a little misleading

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jul 26 2026

One of my all-time favorite albums
