Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney

one of the easiest fives yet, this band meant so much to me as a late teen, it was virtually all i listened to for 2 years

1-Star Albums (5)

All Ratings (58)

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
May 20 2026

A bit samey at times but I can see how influential it must have been

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
May 21 2026

Honestly very good and clearly influenced a lot of what was to come. rip ian curtis

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 25 2026

honestly kinda mid

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
May 27 2026

Quite nice, nothing too crazy or special but a nice synthpop record

Whatever by Aimee Mann
May 28 2026

Not really my bag and kinda cant understand why its on here - maybe i need to listen to the lyrics closer

The Rise & Fall by Madness
May 29 2026

hmm, very 'dad' music, but some undeniable bangers on here. can sometimes hear some BCNR in some of the instrumentation

The Band by The Band
Jun 02 2026

Actually quite enjoyed this, will have to give it another listen

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 03 2026

not my thing, and i normally like punky records

Infected by The The
Jun 04 2026

Really didn't like this one haha

Queen II by Queen
Jun 05 2026

Actually a lot better than I was expecting, albeit a bit of a mixed bag

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jun 09 2026

better than i was expecting, similar to that queen 2 album

Real Life by Magazine
Jun 10 2026

pretty cool

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jun 12 2026

pretty bad i can't lie, didn't have a good feeling when i saw the album cover

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jun 16 2026

was expecting more from this, samples were good but a bit samey overall

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 17 2026

a mixed bag, one i should probably listen to again at some point

Jun 19 2026

idk what to think about this one, there were moments i really enjoyed, but it all became a bit samey

Melodrama by Lorde
Jun 23 2026

Its honestly a mixed bag, some nice moments but just lacking in something i can't really put my finger on. Doesn't help that it spawned a lot of rubbish

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jun 26 2026

Catchy in moments, full of energy - just lacking a certain something

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jun 29 2026

cool sounds, just got a bit samey

Heroes by David Bowie
Jun 30 2026

This was actually really good, and I don't think i've listened as an album before - will definitely revisit

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Jul 01 2026

Another banger tbf, lots of songs i recognised

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jul 02 2026

very mixed, some of it was cool, some sounded laughably amateurish

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jul 03 2026

just a bit mid, maybe would like it more with a few more listens

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jul 06 2026

virtuoso playing, very sad backstory regarding the bassist, you can hear how talented he is - RIP

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 07 2026

these guys are just the best, not even their strongest album and it smokes most bands output

Jul 08 2026

i kinda didn't like this one, preferred the original versions of a lot of these covers. I dont like this kind of vocal delivery

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jul 09 2026

good harmless fun, actually liked it more than i thought

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jul 10 2026

one of the easiest fives yet, this band meant so much to me as a late teen, it was virtually all i listened to for 2 years

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jul 13 2026

Some classics on here for sure, still not strong enough overall to merit a high score

Diamond Life by Sade
Jul 14 2026

Just got a bit samey, very sexy tho

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Jul 15 2026

It was honestly just ok, plenty more records of this genre that deserve to be ahead of this tho

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jul 16 2026

actually enjoyed this quite a bit! love stuff that's a bit weird

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Jul 17 2026

awful stuff, why is this on this list? was it even critically acclaimed in 2000?

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jul 21 2026

utterly dire, probably the worst one on this list yet imo. just lacking any sort of soul or human touch. arrogant in a way that i would normally find funny on another metal record, ended up just falling so flat here. first time i'd really listened to eruption since i was like 11 (which i'd assume is the target audience for this album) and its just so.. nothing. just a waste of time

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jul 22 2026

some very sweet songs, just not at the level that he was on at other parts of his career. still a massive soft spot for his work

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jul 23 2026

it was ok, but only ok tbh

New Forms by Roni Size
Jul 24 2026

This was actually sick, definitely up there with the best of my new discoveries on this list

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jul 27 2026

some cool beats, but i kinda don't get the hype with some of his early stuff

Guero by Beck
Jul 28 2026

pretty standard indie album, there's a bit of a white stripes influence bleeding through on a few tracks. first track rips

Atomizer by Big Black
Jul 29 2026

don't really know what i thought, clearly groundbreaking but didn't have the best listening experience

Close To You by Carpenters
Jul 30 2026

it just fell a bit flat for me, very much the kind of record you see in every UK charity shop and it sounds like it

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jul 31 2026

I can't realistically give this more than a 3 because as a whole, the album had a few misses, but when it hit, it really hit for me. Maybe I'll return to this

Aug 03 2026

Pretty good, hadn't really listened before and might revisit at some point. just something missing that stops it being a 4 for me.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Aug 05 2026

A classic 'not my cup of tea' album. I really struggle to get on with metal, however this is clearly far ahead of a lot of the metal on this list, but i can't score it higher than a 2

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Aug 06 2026

good, but only in places. too long to be a pleasant listening experience

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Aug 07 2026

This was actually nice, will listen again
