Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 21 2026

The 70s must have been a mellow time. Maybe it’s me but each song feels like a cliche from an old movie, but I guess Willie didn’t first. Good for him.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Apr 23 2026

A good experience - a band I always knew about, but never really listened to. +1 Fan.

Illmatic by Nas
Apr 25 2026

Just a genre that doesn't gel with me. Their music doesn't grab me - could be something in the background at the office and unless you are ready to diligently listen to the lyrics, they just get lost in the background.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Apr 26 2026

Rush was one of those ‘I should listen to’ bands. Did not disappoint but not the revolution the hype sold. Was solid, did enjoy.

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 27 2026

I can see what Pearl Jam saw in Neil.

The Bends by Radiohead
Apr 30 2026

Some real jewels amongst pebbles, proto-brilliance.

May 03 2026

Holiday in Cambodia was a high-repeat song back in high school. Happy to say this hasn't aged as much as I have.

May 04 2026

It's was surprising how many songs I could recognise, but have never actively listened to before. Will listen more, for sure.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
May 05 2026

Brilliant, depressing and amazing Grunge. How did we survive the 90s?

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
May 06 2026

Feels like a more symphonic Beatles. Looong, suits when you really could listen to an album for the experience. Unfortunately it's something for background music for me these days.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
May 07 2026

How to describe the Genre? Energy, Purpose and Motivation. 100% Industrial

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
May 09 2026

Sultans of Swing. Waterline. Perfect.

Disintegration by The Cure
May 10 2026

Surprising how this has mellowed over the years (it's not me it's them). Boundaries are pushed, but in a soft polite nudge, not the shove I remember!

May 14 2026

Memphis! Streets of Laredo! Classics my Dad listened to, and I don't know if it's the memory-berries calling or if it's genuinely good, but dammit, I loved it all. I never would have picked this scrolling Spotify. Made my day.

May 15 2026

I'm probably going to annoy a few people, but found this enjoyable but middling. A fusion between folk and pop? That said I've never given Bob a good listening to before - I will again. Went 3 stars, only because 3.5 isn't an option. Not quite there for a 4.

May 17 2026

Stop. Just stop. All of the talent of the Sex Pistols and none of the rythm or energy.

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 19 2026

It's the Beatles. It's going to be amazing, right? Well, no. I can see how it was the revolution in the day, and it is still good now, but not great.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
May 21 2026

This was 100% new to me - many Bjork vibes. Nice.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
May 22 2026

Banger. Some classics we all know, some real interesting pieces to bring the album together as a full listening experience.

Play by Moby
May 23 2026

Nice trip down memory lane, but nothing really amazing that stood ou.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
May 24 2026

Not for me - don't listen if depressed.

D by White Denim
May 27 2026

Good, not brilliant. oK.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 28 2026

Lady can sing!

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 30 2026

Never really exposed my self to Iron Maiden before, and expected an audio assault to my senses, only to be surprised by how poetic and Ballard driven this is.

May 31 2026

Some classics that are great earworms, so others that deserve to remain in obscurity. Not their best work but damn, it would have been explosive when brand new.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jun 04 2026

Relaxing but mid. I'm starting to see a trend with this list. Was this really ground breaking when new? Feels like a evolution, not a revolution.

High Violet by The National
Jun 29 2026

Yawn. Played at work, helped me concentrate on the task and hand and was completely forgettable. Why is this here?
