Low by David Bowie
Apr 27 2026

I liked it. Would like to hear it on vinyl. I listened to the remastered version on Spotify and it seems like the dynamics got reduced.

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 29 2026

Some great songs! Didn’t think I’d like it. More pop thank I thought. I thought the clash was more punk. Maybe it’s just this album.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 09 2026

I didn’t want to like it because it’s the classic audiophile album that it seems people only listen to it because of its production quality. But I did like it. I thought I would be more familiar with the songs because of its classic status but most of it was new to me. And now I want it on vinyl.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
May 10 2026

I’m surprised that this album is the one that won it. My desire to listen to the talking heads has majorly decreased for some reason. I saw one of John hamm’s character singing a talking heads song in a tv show and for some reason that rubbed me the wrong way and made me just not want to listen to them

Live! by Fela Kuti
May 12 2026

Amazing!! Lively and dynamic. I want this on vinyl.

Enjoyable listen. Wide sound stage.. you could tell it was an early stereo mix. I didn’t connect with the album all that much but I appreciated it. Seemed like it was probably historically significant for a woman to be airing grievances about her deadbeat husband.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
May 14 2026

Kind of reminds me of the flaming lips but less psychedelic and more indie garage. I liked this album and will definitely return to it. I had always intended to listen to them but never knew where to start. I haven’t been giving any of these albums very many stars because I’m waiting for something to really hit me, I’m waiting to connect with something on a deeper level than just appreciation.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
May 15 2026

Another artist that I’ve wanted to get into but didn’t know where to start. I love how smooth her voice is. I had thought that her music was more up tempo rock. Her later stuff probably was. But this is smooth and pure.. Joni Mitchell/Joanna Newsom. Holy shit she was 19!?

Murmur by R.E.M.
May 16 2026

I enjoyed it. Vocals were a little bit cobain-y. I keep on getting surprised by the album choice from the artists. A lot of the time I would assume that it would be a different album from that artist.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
May 17 2026

Damn!! I don’t know what to say. This is where deez nuts came from? Dont love it but I appreciate it.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
May 18 2026

I wasn’t paying attention to this enough when I listen to it. I’d love to put it on and get immersed in it, get lost in it. I didn’t do it justice by listening to it while working

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 19 2026

So classic. Love how punchy it is.

May 20 2026

Wow. I really like this album. I had it on in the background while doing a layup and I couldn’t hear it so I gave it another listen. Love its ethereal sound. Some Pink Floyd vocals. I will definitely return to it.

Homework by Daft Punk
May 21 2026

Love it! This was a nice entrance into trance.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
May 22 2026

Sonically it’s cool but I don’t like the brashness of the singing.

Back In Black by AC/DC
May 23 2026

I guess it doesn’t get more classic than that! I’m gonna give it a 4 even though I didn’t connect with it all that much.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
May 24 2026

Listened to it two or three times because I wanted to figure out how to like it. But I couldn’t tap into it. It’s kind of how I imagine people wondering why someone would like mewithoutyou. Maybe I’ll try it again.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
May 27 2026

Eh. I don’t feel anything.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
May 28 2026

I don’t think I had heard this one. It’s pretty good. Interesting to hear an earlier one that doesn’t have any of their hits on it. Made it less annoying.

Face to Face by The Kinks
May 29 2026

I feel pretty ambivalent to this. I’m starting to get 1960s and 1970s rock fatigue. It’s starting to blend together for me.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
May 30 2026

Surprised that I liked this one! I’ll return back to it.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jun 06 2026

Yeah I’m tired of the British punk/rock. This list is kind of biased

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jun 07 2026

Nice and gentle and soft. I’ll return to it.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Jun 08 2026

Wow. Three great American icons. Amazing.

Kenza by Khaled
Jun 10 2026

I’ll return to this one. Wish it wasn’t so long

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jul 06 2026

I liked wild horses

Jul 11 2026

Enjoyed this, especially City, Country, City. I liked the hand percussion throughout.
