At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Mar 29 2026

I like the album, normally I’m not a fan of “live at” versions of songs when listening online; however I didn’t know much about Johnny Cash and so this felt good. Also the fact that it was performed at a prison felt kind of special. I like the music, not my favourite and not sure when I would really listen to this type of music again, maybe in the car. Overall wasn’t perfect but was good. 7/10.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Mar 30 2026

This type of rock/metalcore music is the type of music that I like, however I can say I’ve never heard of megadeth before this 1001 series. A relatively short and simple album, but most songs are good. I get some Metallica vibes. Would probably not readily listen again soon but purely because of the genre of music. 6/10.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 31 2026

Good album. Very upbeat and much more my style of music. Can listen to it when relaxing, reading, or cooking. My particular favourite was “Vienna”. 4.5/5

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 01 2026

Not sure how to place the style/genre of this album. It had a jazzy/funk feel, but also an edgy indie vibe. I listened to it while running, and I’m not sure when I would listen again on the pure basis that it doesn’t fit into a listening setting. I didn’t love nor dislike any of the songs. I liked the instrumentals but wasn’t a huge fan of the vocals. 7/10

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Apr 02 2026

Really don't like this one. It's a bit all over the place and feels quite childish. Worst one on the list for me so far. 2/10

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Apr 03 2026

I listened to disk one during my run, and it was ok. Very much background music, and didn’t massively energise me. A few songs were better but mostly mediocre. I started to listen to disk 2 when relaxing and playing videos games and this was the more mellow vibe intended for me to listen to I think. Might listen in the future but will use as personal time background music. 6/10

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 04 2026

Quite an edgy album. Some of the songs gave me arctic monkeys vibes. Another neither love nor hate album for me. In between a 6 and 7/10 for me but will lean towards a 7 as I preferred it to a few of the others that I gave a 6. 7/10

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Apr 05 2026

Really liked this one. I had it on in the background while playing fifa and was nice and mellow. I liked the jazzy vibe and the songs mostly fit my preferred genre. Most songs were hit. 8.5/10

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Apr 06 2026

Quite mellow. Easy to listen to. Would listen to again when trying to relax or getting stuff done on my laptop. A jazzy vibe which would've gone down nicely with a glass of wine.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Apr 07 2026

Michael Jackson is one of my favourite artists, and although this isn't his best album in my opinion, its still a solid album with all of the songs being easy to listen to, and some great songs in there. 8/10

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Apr 09 2026

It was always going to be difficult to not give this album a perfect score. With the first song being welcome to the jungle, and later songs including night train and paradise city and sweet child of mine. This album is just non stop chaos in a good way, and the songs are so great. 10/10

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 10 2026

Enjoyed this one. Easy mellow vibe and I hadn’t heard of him before so was nice to listen to a ‘new’ artist. 8/10

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Apr 11 2026

Quite enjoyed this. Didn’t have time to listen to disk 2 yet. 7/10

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Apr 12 2026

Enjoyed the album. Wasn’t a band I’d heard of before. 7/10

GI by Germs
Apr 13 2026

Didn’t enjoy the album on the most part and couldn’t finish it. I enjoyed the instrumentals but just could not get past the dreadful vocals. 3/10

The Score by Fugees
Apr 14 2026

Didn’t manage to listen to the full album due to being in holiday but for the most part I liked it. Ready or not was the clear stand out great song. 7/10

Kid A by Radiohead
Apr 15 2026

It was never going to be a BAD album when I saw it was Radiohead as I realy like their music; however I feel as though that is nowhere near their best album or work. It was listenable but I can’t give more than a 5/10

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Apr 16 2026

Good album I liked it. The beastie boys sound like you're listening to them underwater and has a slightly edgy vibe feel to it. Sabotage is a great song, but most of the songs on the album hit well. 8/10

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Apr 17 2026

This was ok. I was listening to it while resting/sleeping, and so didn’t take all of it in. 6.5/10

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Apr 18 2026

Much like the other album by the smiths, I enjoyed this one. Once again though it was a little bit edgy and had an indie vibe. 7/10.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Apr 19 2026

I liked it. Stand out song is karma police which is just such a good song. 7/10

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Apr 20 2026

I liked the album, got heavy whiplash vibes, and elements of soundtrack from shrek. The first song was a 10 minute instrumental only song, and so was a different vibe to all of the other albums so far. Least favorite song on the track was the last one, wars of Armageddon as it was a little strange. Overall 8/10

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Apr 21 2026

Good album. Not quite as good as led zeppelin 1. Solid 8.5/10 still.

Apr 30 2026

Was ok. Music wasn’t for me, was chill background music MAYBE. Wouldn’t listen again 3-4/10

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 02 2026
Closer by Joy Division
May 04 2026
Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
May 19 2026

Probably would have enjoyed this a bit better if driving for a road trip in America. As it is I listened on the tube back home in the evening and really didn’t have the same feel to it. The music just felt ‘there’ and I wasn’t really engaging

S&M by Metallica
May 20 2026
Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 23 2026
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
May 26 2026

Interesting album for sure. The type of futuristic sounding style that I think my dad would be into

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Aug 14 2026

American hip hop style music. Not really aimed at my style but it wasn’t bad. Average 5/10

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Aug 15 2026

Really chill vibe to listen to while studying. I really enjoyed the album and would listen to it again. I can’t quite give it an 8, but it is a strong 7/10.

Aug 16 2026

When take on me is the first hit on this album it’s always going to get a high score. I can’t QUITE give it a 10/10 as not every track is a must listen to. It does however get an 8.5/9 out of 10

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Aug 17 2026

Weird. The best way of describing this album is peculiar and not really any direction with the music. I will give this a VERY generous 3/10 and will never intentionally listen to it again.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Aug 18 2026

Got a country blues vibe. A sign of a good album to me is when there are songs that leap out to me. Although with this album that isn’t the case and they all sound similar, that means that the album is at least consistent. 6/10

Aug 19 2026

I imagine that hardcore Rod Stewart fans would really enjoy this album. I’m not the biggest Rod Stewart fan, but I did however enjoy the album. Not more than 7/10 but it was good

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Aug 20 2026

Couldn’t really listen to more than a few songs of this album before I got bored. 2/10

Horses by Patti Smith
Aug 21 2026

When I saw the artists photo i wasn’t sure what to expect. Well now I know to not judge the cover photo before listening to the music. I thoroughly enjoyed this. 8/10

Trio by Dolly Parton
