Lost Souls by Doves

Another boring indie-rock release. Why does this app give me nothing but shitty indie bands to listen to? More like "1001 shitty indie records to hear before you die with one or two good records"

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jul 07 2026

Not the type of music I would seek out. Good background music when sitting in front of the fireplace reading a book or having a quiet evening with another person. A little bit boring and repetitive

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Jul 08 2026

Rather boring, unoriginal indie rock. I do not recommend. So boring you won't even fall asleep to it.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jul 10 2026

Surprising interpretation of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing. Layla reminds me of FM radio when I was growing up as well as the scene from Goodfellas.....

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jul 11 2026

Tina is very talented and an icon in the music world. That being said, I am NOT a fan and would never have listened to this album if it wasn't for this app. I knew a few songs. I listened to the expanded edition with extra tracks. Will probably never listen to this record again..... it's not bad, just not my thing.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Jul 12 2026

Surprisingly good! Progressive and new wave elements. Albums like this paved the way for albums like 90125, Discipline and Abacab.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jul 13 2026

An enjoyable listen. I enjoyed the rendition of Parchmen farm. I only knew of the version by cactus, as well as the version by Mose Allison.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jul 14 2026

Definitely some drug-induced garage rock. Neo-Psychedelia. Hints of Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, The Stooges mixed with Oasis/Beatlesque vocal harmonies and Pink Floydian effects. Some influence from trance & electronica as well. Intrigued on the first pass..... Going in for second run now, this time my mind is slightly "altered"😜

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jul 15 2026

An interesting album. If the Beatles did a rock opera. Sort of a Sergeant Pepper's lonely hearts Club Band done by somebody else that sounds like the Beatles. I enjoyed this record

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jul 16 2026

...Not bad. I like the actual music but the vocals in another language ruins it because it overpowers the music by being way to loud in the mix.

Jul 17 2026

Reminds me of being in a bar in Woodside, Queens with a bunch of drunken NYPD and FDNY guys after a line-of-duty funeral. (I'm retired NYPD and have lived in those moments)

Being There by Wilco
Jul 18 2026

Typical, predictable but enjoyable indie rock. I like this record better than their Hotel Yankee Foxtrot album. This is a good album because it is what you expect to hear when listening to Wilco! Nothing strange, no new recording techniques, just what you come to expect from wilco. Being predictable and being typical is not a bad thing sometimes. I enjoy this record more than I thought I would.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jul 19 2026

Good voice. Not the type of music I listen too. Did not like anti-white message of the song "Interlude: Tina Taught Me". The constitution gives this artist the right to compose and write whatever she feels. That same constitution says I can rebuke her message if I so choose. Instead, I'm not going to continue listening to her racist drivel.

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jul 20 2026

Ramstein but without the industrial sound, distorted metal guitars and heaviness, with the lyrics sung in French. I was a bit surprised by how much I enjoyed this strange record.....

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jul 21 2026

Call it post-punk, new wave or extremely juvenile DIY garage rock.... No matter the tag, it's a fun, early 80's record. Enjoyable! Add it to my "guilty pleasures" list.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jul 22 2026

An excellent classic punk rock record. It sounds like if the Ramones were from Ireland and were heavily influenced and wanted to sound like Buzzcocks and Sex Pistols. Excellent record that is a lot of fun to listen to! Highly recommended..........

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jul 23 2026

The only SOAD I like. Got into them when I saw them on Ozzfest '98. They were different, they were weird and they were heavy..... Great album!

Jul 24 2026

Good record. Surprised I've never heard it before!

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jul 25 2026

Sounds like if Veruca Salt had Belinda Carlisle singing but she was impersonating Janis Joplin..... Good garage/indie/alt. rock.

Quiet Life by Japan
Jul 26 2026

If you'd have told me this was Duran Duran I'd have believed you. Typical early new wave. Enjoyable record.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Jul 27 2026

Not good. Into The Mystic was done like it was spoken word, it was not sung, it was recited over background music

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jul 29 2026

Not a fan of kings of leon but I am familiar with their music. They are talented group of musicians, the red good songs and the production on the record was overall very good as I said I'm not a fan but I can appreciate what they do.

Jul 30 2026

Heard the songs on this album more times than I care to remember. An overrated band but this was actually interesting. I did enjoy the different takes, the unplugged the acoustic versions of some of their most overplayed songs.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jul 31 2026

Proto-Shoegaze music. Not a big fan of the very trebly production and tinny sounding vox.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Aug 01 2026

Classic! I was turned to Little Richard by Lemmy from MotΓΆrhead. Little Richard was Lemmy's biggest influence... 5 stars out of respect for Little Richard and his influence on Lemmy. This influence contributed to some of the greatest music ever recorded by bands like Hawkwind and the immortal MOTORHΓ‹AD

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Aug 02 2026

Boring indie rock. They don't live up to all of the hype I've heard about them.

Lost Souls by Doves
Aug 03 2026

Another boring indie-rock release. Why does this app give me nothing but shitty indie bands to listen to? More like "1001 shitty indie records to hear before you die with one or two good records"

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Aug 04 2026

Weird. Not terribly enjoyable.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Aug 06 2026

Not my style. Relaxing, chill background music. It kinda grew on me. A retro-feel, whilst released in 1992, it has a 1940's feel at times.... is it just me or is that intentional?

Kenya by Machito
Aug 10 2026

Not my thing

Solid Air by John Martyn
Aug 13 2026

Relaxing & mellow. A nice combo of folk, jazz and soft rock. Acoustic Steely Dan type stuff. Enjoyable, feel good tunes.

Soul Mining by The The
Aug 15 2026

Typical 80's new wave. Enjoyable

S&M by Metallica
Aug 16 2026

As a HUGE fan of Metallica from their inception I always have thoroughly enjoyed this album. Any of the songs from their first 3 albums (Kill'em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets) done with an orchestra is cool with me......

Aug 18 2026

Terribly boring indie rock from an overrated band. This band never delivers. Their reputation among fans and critics does NOT live up to their musical output. This record sucks. Boring snoozfest..... They are intentionally sloppy which makes things even worse. Being a shitty musician is cool to them. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody unless you're one of those retarded hipster types.

Arrival by ABBA
Aug 20 2026

Great record. A few well known tunes with a few "deep tracks" that are amazing.

Da Capo by Love
Aug 21 2026

Wow! Was not expecting to enjoy this record! The cover is quite deceiving and does not accurately reflect the contents of this album. It has the classic 60's folk sound as well as some "heavy" songs (heavy for the time period... don't expect to hear anything like Slayer or Celtic Frost) that dabble in proto-punk/metal. A very nice surprise indeed!

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Aug 24 2026

Normal 70's pop-folk rock with a classic rock radio staple to open the record. Not something I'd reach for but definitely listenable.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Aug 25 2026

Peter Gabriel always provides and eclectic mix of styles on his records. Progressive rock, symphonic rock, new wave and electronica as well as World music makes everyone of his albums a listening adventure. A journey to distance lands at times!

Trio by Dolly Parton
Aug 27 2026

Dolly's music always makes me smile. Her good heart was carried in her voice. RIP Dolly....

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Aug 28 2026

One of the best of the Circle Jerks catalogue!

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 29 2026

No matter what you think of The Boss these days, it doesn't remove any of the greatness of this record. EVERY song is amazing! This is a record that many people in the later Baby Boomer generation, most Gen X'ers and the older millennials own no matter what your favorite music genre happens to be. If you never listened to Born To Run you absolutely need to....

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Sep 01 2026

Great background music when having the parents over

Calenture by The Triffids
Sep 03 2026

Calenture is the fourth album by The Triffids. It was released in the fall 1987 and explores themes of insanity, deception and the feelings and results of a nomadic lifestyle β€”the title refers to a fever suffered by sailors during long hot voyages. Great album of typical 80's new wave/pop mix. An enjoyable record that as a former 80's kid I'd highly recommend.

High Violet by The National
Sep 05 2026

Shitty, run-of-the-mill indie rock. I read their bio and it said they formed in Brooklyn so I was excited! 3 great bands that I love came out of Brooklyn... Type O Negative, Biohazard, Life Of Agony... and there are still a bunch that I could rattle on about. My family and I are originally from the Canarsie section of Brooklyn so I was psyched! Boy, was it a let down. Tepid, unoriginal indie rock with crappy production. Even worse, I come to find out these guys are actually from Ohio and I ly moved to Brooklyn as part of the hipster gentrification of places like Bushwick and Bed Study. Don't waste your time.......

The Next Day by David Bowie
Sep 06 2026

Predictable music. Just what you would expect from David Bowie. That is not a dig, that is a good thing for me. I listen to David Bowie for specific reasons and he delivers all those reasons on this record.
