Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers

This was a musical dumpster fire. There was one semi ok song in all this nonsense. It's turned me off from exploring their vast catalouge. Great dumb band name tho.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Apr 22 2026

Was fun to drive and clean to this album. Felt like my own little soundtrack! I do prefer vocals vs totally instrumental, but it was a nice listen!

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Apr 23 2026
Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Apr 24 2026

Only listened to about half. Not really my thing. Cool album cover tho.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Apr 27 2026

This album was a banger. Some familiar, some new. But you can't go wrong with Little Richard.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 29 2026

I am familiar with this album, and four songs on it so it was great to get a listen of it all. Excellent album, all songs are good, most are great. 4.5

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Apr 30 2026

This was a musical dumpster fire. There was one semi ok song in all this nonsense. It's turned me off from exploring their vast catalouge. Great dumb band name tho.

May 01 2026

Solid old school country vibe. Started strong but ended up feeling more like a nice background music. 3 stars.

Synchronicity by The Police
May 04 2026

So this one was divisive for me. I'd say half I enjoyed, some were meh and I quite disliked a couple. 2.5

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
May 05 2026

I'm already a fan but had never heard this whole thing. Love them.

May 06 2026

Maybe one or two songs didn t click, but some of my favorite Dylan is on this album. 4.5

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
May 07 2026

I actually liked this for the most part - I have some Zappa on my Playlists, but the last couple songs were the Zappa I was worried this album would be.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
May 08 2026

What a snoozefest. Didn't resonate with this at all, but it wasn't absolutely offensive either.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
May 11 2026

I'm sad to say this was the first one I didn't finish, not because I didn't enjoy it, but life was just busy this day!

Moon Safari by Air
May 12 2026

I almost finished this, and while I didn't dislike it, I didn't like it much either 2 stars

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
May 13 2026

This was great. Knight moves, Marlene on the Wall, and the Queen and the soldier were standouts for me. Would relisten for sure.

May 14 2026

There were a couple of moments, but overall I wasn't in the mood for this, and left 8 songs or so unlistened to. 2.5

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
May 15 2026

I felt like I wanted to like this, but it was a bit blah for me. Not offensive, and a couple songs kinda stuck out to me. But overall it was dull for me today. 2

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
May 18 2026

This was a very pleasant surprise. I know thr hits but have never listened to them otherwise. It made me feel like I could actually be a fan of their stuff. Great guitar too.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
May 20 2026

This one was interesting. I ended up quite liking and saving a handful of songs from it, but then there were quite a few that did nothing for me, and several I disliked as well. 2.75

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
May 21 2026

Boring, but not offensive. Just didn't care about it at all.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
May 25 2026

There's definitely some gems in here, and he has a beautiful voice and lots if talent. There were plenty of songs that just didn't grab me tho. Overall I liked it, felt long, wouldn't run to listen to the whole album. But added a few to my dance mix!

May 26 2026

Given the songs I know by James Brown, I didn't expect to be this bored. Especially the 11 minute one. Yowza. I also don't usually get anything out of a live album unless i'm a huge fan.

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
May 27 2026

I enjoyed this, tho it all started to blend after awhile. Was nice to hear some hip hop without all the derogatory words! Felt positive!

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
May 28 2026

Even tho I thought it sounded good, there were way too much instrumentals, the songs were way too long and it all ended up blending together. I liked the vibe but a whole album is a no.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 29 2026

2.75 -- i love his voice and hear clearly the grief. I was moved to tears at a couple points. It was however too slow for my listening tastes so I couldnt imagine reaching for the album to listen to as a whole agian. Saving a song tho.

Jun 01 2026

Was already very familiar with this one. It's beautiful and sad. And his covers of hurt, personal Jesus, and desperado are better than the originals. Amazing voice.

Arrival by ABBA
Jun 02 2026

I do enjoy Abba and it's very catchy. I didn't discover much that was better than the hits though. It was a fun listen tho! 3.5

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jun 03 2026

3.5 -- enjoyed this album! No song compares to the weight though.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jun 04 2026

I have always felt i should like Arcade Fire. While I do enjoy a song or two, Neon Bible was a decent tune, I just don't. I find them pretentious. I can't figure out how this album made this list.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jun 05 2026

I liked the sound of thr music, but knowing the subject matter and hearing the sultry tone of it all, it was hard to enjoy it totally! 2.75

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jun 08 2026

3.75 - haven't ever really listened to her, but this had some songs I definitely want to hear again! It'll be a relisten at some point for sure.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jun 12 2026

23 minute instrumental? 7 minute all feedback?! 15 minute songs... Can't deny the talent and I love a few I've heard over the years, but this one was a bummer.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jun 15 2026

Ack. Another instrumental. It doesn't matter how funky or cool the music is. A 15 minute song with no lyrics is not my jam. I decided to listen to a few and didn't really care to hear the last song. 2 stars because it's in no way offensive, I just didn't like it.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jun 16 2026

Only knew the hits, but was right at the angst teen age when it was out. I enjoyed it for what it was!

Jun 18 2026

Didn't hate but didn't finish because while I don't mind the sound, it insists upon itself after awhile. I will rate what I listened to!

1999 by Prince
Jun 19 2026

Of course I know of this album but I'd never heard it, other than 1999 and Little Red Corvette. This man is an incredible artist and I enjoyed this lots. The only reason it can't be 5 stars is I really do not like when songs are more than 6 minutes MAX. It just loses impact for me to have songs that long. There are quite a few here and it just starts to make me zone out, even if I like the song at first!

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jun 22 2026

The Who is great, but again I feel like I don't need to hear so many live albums. The drumming was tight tho!!

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 23 2026

This was pretty. His voice is always good. And I was familiar with his cover of Georgia. It didn't quite hit today as I needed more energy in my music, but still liked it! 3.5

Jun 24 2026

2.5 -- didn't hate this at all, even saved a song. But I found it had to hear them? Vocally it felt a bit all over the place, and the singing felt muffled, and the leads voice didn't grab me.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jun 25 2026

I listened to this multiple times. Know them and knew a song but never an album. They are great!!

Garbage by Garbage
Jun 29 2026

Great! 4 stars

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jun 30 2026

All the songs were enjoyable, and a few are their amazing ones. I'm already a fan, so i may be biased, but i hadn't listened to the album yet.

Jul 01 2026

Unpopular opinion but other than a few songs, I do not enjoy pink Floyd. This was a lot of noise, some ok but mostly just nof enjoyable to listen to.

Jul 02 2026

This was better than I was expecting. Was catchy for the most part, even tho only one song is going to make it on a list of mine for now.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Jul 03 2026

Catchy! Loved all the horns. 3.5

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 06 2026

This was decent. The first song is by far the best tho, so even listening twice to the album felt let down as it went on with no more real standouts. 2.75

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jul 07 2026

This was meh. The only songs that were interesting were the ones they are famous for. One other was kinda catchy but other than that...

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jul 08 2026

Beautiful voice, but started to all sound the same. Not my style of regular music so I'm not sure it'll get a repeat.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jul 09 2026

I love the vibes, but this all just sounded like the same song to me. Maybe I just don't resonate with reggae, which would make sense i guess. 2.5

Is This It by The Strokes
Jul 13 2026

Catchy, already familiar with it.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jul 14 2026

Fantastic. Know 2 songs very well but the rest was new. Lived up to the hype.

More Specials by The Specials
Jul 15 2026

Blah. This didn't do a thing for me. Wasn't offensive tho

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Jul 16 2026

He has a cool voice and a couple songs were ok. But this was very very boring.

Music by Madonna
Jul 17 2026

Had some good songs on it, but about half was pretty meh? Might be worth a relisten.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jul 20 2026

This was quite good! I actually liked it better than his more famous album Songs in the Key of Life which surprised me.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jul 21 2026

What a great album. I wonder if she did lots of covers, or I've heard lots of covers of her songs.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Jul 22 2026

Some of the beats and music was ok, but the rest did NOTHING for me. So confused how this made the list. Started skipping and then gave up on it. Not good.

Jul 23 2026

It wasn't bad music, but i couldnt even remotely relate and felt like it really wasn't made for me. Also way too many interludes.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jul 27 2026

Awesome album. 4.5

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jul 28 2026

Of course knew a song. Was decent, but a little boring too

Jul 29 2026

This was not good. Noise. One ot two were ok. My algorithm after went to other songs of theirs on different albums. They were better! Don't get.

The White Album by Beatles
Jul 30 2026

Even if not every song is a winner, this is one of the best albums ever by one of my favorite bands. They never disappoint.

The Yes Album by Yes
Aug 03 2026

Not bad! Little too much instrumental for me but was pretty ok.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 06 2026
Kimono My House by Sparks
Aug 07 2026

Didn't enjoy. It all sounded the same, and it wasn't very good.

Illmatic by Nas
Aug 10 2026

I recognize this as talent, and even like a few songs. So i'll rate it 3 even tho rap isn't really my jam.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Aug 11 2026

This was darn near perfection. This album will be listened to again and again.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Aug 12 2026

Honestly got pretty bored with this immediately. With this cover, you'd think this would be more rocking. Also, in 80 albums, why has this band been on here twice? With mediocre music. I didn't actually finish it but heard enough to rate it 2.
