Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 09 2026

First half is tough to listen to. 2nd half is a mix of hits that were previously released.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jul 10 2026

This is so much more impressive than I ever had considered her to be in the past. Incredible voice and lyrics with an unusual and unique set of song structures. Love her contralto.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jul 23 2026

I really dug the first track. That's a really fun 60s psychedelic number. Even listened to it on repeat a few times. Unfortunately that was it for me. Didn't like any of the rest. I appreciate a good backstory and I know this album has one but this is a complete mess.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 27 2026

First half four out of five. Second, half six out of five.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jul 29 2026

This seems very rooted in the '90s and I can see how it influenced a lot of really good later artists. I like it but I don't love it. I'm probably not the Target demographic that would love this album though. Fuck and run is pretty great.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jul 30 2026

Wow. I forgot about that Scooby snack song otherwise I hate this and want my time back but I guess it made a lot of sense back in 1996. It feels extremely random that this made the list lol

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Aug 03 2026

The 4th best of the Stones incredible 4 album run. The least consistent of those records, but the high moments are incredible

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 05 2026

Perfection. One of the greatest debut albums in the history of rock and roll. I wish they could have sustained that greatness.

Pump by Aerosmith
Aug 06 2026
It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 07 2026

This is a solid 2000s indie album that just doesn't stand out to me. Like it, don't love it.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Aug 12 2026

A great big dumb rock and roll album. The riffs and musicianship is as amazing as the lyrics are stupid. Still....this is just so much fun. One of the best and biggest early heavy metal influencing albums. Highway star is an all time great album opener.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Aug 17 2026

As close to perfect as it gets. Nude/arpeggi/all I need is one of the all time 3 song runs.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Aug 18 2026

I can't do this. I don't even like he supposedly good Smit's records. Morrissey grates on my skull.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Aug 24 2026

So for me this has been my personal favorite zep album because of the diversity of styles and genres and the showcase of actual songwriting talent. I love it when an artist takes risks and it pans out. Celebration, friends, tangerine, and that's the way are 4 of LZ's great deep cuts. That's not to mention the sheer power of immigrant song and Plants vocal performance on since I've been loving you. Gallows pole and bron yar stomp are awesome foot stomping hand clappers . 5/5.
