Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
May 24 2026

Interesting rock album from the 70s. Not on my radar but I very much enjoyed. 'Love the One You're With' is one of my favorites but the only song I recognized.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
May 26 2026

Its been a while since listening to this one straight through. I forgot the amount of different, almost kitschy songs that it included. Still, with several classics, it is quite an album

May 27 2026

Never listened start to finish. Will have to again. What a great set of tunes.

1984 by Van Halen
May 28 2026

This one is very nostalgic for me given it's release date and what was happening then. I know it well and enjoy the material. I probably rate higher than it deserves but it difficult to listen to objectively

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 29 2026

It is a classic but not my style so this rating is probably a bit low.

Melodrama by Lorde
May 30 2026

Decent album. Enjoyable listen. Nothing groundbreaking IMO. This rating is in comparison to others on this list.

The Stooges by The Stooges
May 31 2026

+1 for its influence and place in history. Surprisingly modern given the release date. Have never heard anything from them before

Arise by Sepultura
Jun 01 2026

Not my style in any way so it is difficult to provide unbiased review. Not going on my listen again list. Very little difference between tracks other than a few being a bit slower.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jun 03 2026
Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jun 04 2026

In addition to the two well known cuts, there a a bunch of interesting tunes in this one. One has to step their mind back in time to truly appreciate I believe. For me it is listenable as well as significant and thus the rating.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Jun 05 2026

Not all that interesting to me. Didn't really register. I had never heard any of it and dont feel like I am missing much. It was not awful but not that appealing to me.

Jun 06 2026

Though never a Dylan fan, this album was enjoyable and struck me as more listenable than I would have initially guessed.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jun 07 2026

Not my style but I can appreciate the musicianship.

Jun 09 2026

As one would expect from a debut of a punk/grunge group, this is more raw than later offerings. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 11 2026

Though I have never listened to this album straight though, I was familiar with a good portion of the tunes. I really enjoyed this one.

Jun 17 2026

Enjoyable but not earth shattering. The songs I knew previously i enjoyed but didn't find much else to keep me coming back to this as an album format. Amongst the greatest albums of all times this one lacks a little.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Jun 18 2026

I tried but it is difficult sometimes to separate the art from the artist. Not sure how this one made the list but it isn't something that I need to relive.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Jun 19 2026

Another one completely new to me. This one I found listenable even if the country rock genre is not top of my list.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jun 20 2026

Not my cup of tea but a classic album

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jun 23 2026

Not generally what I would reach for but still entertaining music.

Parklife by Blur
Jun 24 2026

Some interesting songs mixed with a bunch I don't long to hear again.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Jun 25 2026

I had not previously heard of this group as they are a fairly niche but oddly influential band from the 60s. It was surprisingly listenable and revealed sounds and concepts that you can see as influences to later movements.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jun 26 2026

Another I would never have come across without the list. Interesting, historic and listenable and source of Repo Man song Pablo Picasso. +1 for influence in genre.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jun 27 2026

Quite monotone. Not much variety. I have previously heard Gin and Juice and felt like this was the whole album slightly adjusted.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jun 29 2026

All I can say is enough with Dylan. Hes fine but not all that enjoyable.

Dummy by Portishead
Jul 04 2026

Really enjoyed and would listen again. Not sure how it is one of the best ever, but liked it nonetheless.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jul 06 2026

Great listen and interesting place in history.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jul 15 2026
Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 18 2026
Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 23 2026
Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jul 29 2026

Album was fine, just not my preferred stylings.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Aug 13 2026

Started off OK but got old towards the end. Not my favorite but a few listenable songs.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Aug 14 2026

Enjoyed the songs I knew and a few others but still not really my jam.
