Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 16 2026

Ts lowk a vibe. Good for summer. Something you can turn on and play in the background, but also has moments where you can really get into the lyrics and structure.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jul 17 2026

Pretty easy listen but kinda repetitive at times. Makes sense why people like it but not my personal favorite

So by Peter Gabriel
Jul 19 2026
Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 20 2026

VERY similar to green river, but I feel like most of their albums are. However, that doesn’t take away from the fact that this is a VERY good album. Nice peaceful vibe, very relaxing, very summer.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jul 21 2026

Very 80s sounding which can be unique and refreshing but can easily get repetitive. I feel like many moments on this album capture the unique sound perfectly while others just become overwhelming with synth sounds. No matter how complex a song is or thinks it is, it has to be interesting for complexity to really work. Overall pretty strong and consistent, though I don’t know how much I’ll revisit it. I don’t get the limelight hype, it’s a standard 80s song, higher quality than others but nothing spectacular.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jul 22 2026

It’s just mid. Do t regret listening but don’t see myself coming back to it

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jul 23 2026

I don’t remember the three stooges ever being shirtless or singing, but maybe that’s just me.

Jul 24 2026

Not even halfway through the album and this is already a 5. Easily the best album I’ve gotten off this app. Reminded me of what real good music was. While I understand why some of these SHOULD be listened to, this was one of the few that I agree HAS to be heard. In a pool of “influential” music, this one stands out as truly masterful which some of the others failed to do.

Jul 25 2026

Let’s all just take a moment to remember the attacks Courtney love made on Kurt cobains mental health. Is she worse than Kanye? Maybe AND the album was mid and inconsistent

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jul 26 2026

There is a chunk of good songs on this, but some of them just sound like background music at an old club. The back half of the album is stronger than the first but still has some sleepers. It falls victim to the same problem as every double album I’ve heard before, good enough songs get thrown in with great, focused ones and it gets a little messy.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jul 28 2026

Everybody talks about this being one of the most depressing albums ever made, but I don’t see it. I can tell it’s very personal and emotional but it also has a nice soothing aspect to it. I like it, but I think it’s slightly overrated.

Jul 29 2026

Nonstop energy for 30 minutes. This is what a “raw” album should sound like, otherwise you end up with good potential being recorded in what sounds like a dumpster *cough* Exile on Main Street *cough*. This is straight moshpit anger music, compared to muffled, blues/country influenced noise.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jul 30 2026

Another good one, let’s keep the streak up please.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 31 2026

Literally just sounds like background music. Not a big jazz kind of guy.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Aug 02 2026

Seems like a fine album but it’s not on Spotify

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Aug 03 2026

Do I like the atmosphere? Yes, it sounds pretty cool. Will I ever give 2 hours of my life to this album ever again? No, probably not. It’s really just too long for a genre without too much room for changes. Every song sounds like space and is about spiritual awakenings in different forms.

B-52's by The B-52's
Aug 04 2026

This album should’ve stayed on planet Claire

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Aug 07 2026

The instrumental and vocals are actually good. But, like many the people, I find the lyrics to be too whiny. He sings about how much better his life is than everyone else’s and how terrible the world is around him, then looks for sympathy because he’s lonely. I haven’t heard them yet but I hope the smiths have much better lyrics than this

Guero by Beck
Aug 09 2026

This dudes a loser, we should kill him. (Yes I know that’s a different album)

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Aug 10 2026

We, yes WE are going to war for Steely Dan

The White Album by Beatles
Aug 11 2026

There’s some great stuff on this and I wanna give it a 5, the only problem is it’s a double album. I have yet to find a double album that doesn’t drag on for too long with some filler in there. While this filler may be higher quality than others there’s too many forgettable tracks to rate this one a 5

London Calling by The Clash
Aug 12 2026

Someone pick up the phone, damn. It’s really good, but a little overrated imo

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Aug 13 2026

The only thing keeping this from being a 5 is talking drum being too long for its lack of change other than just getting louder. 4.5 but I gotta boost the ratings

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Aug 14 2026

No bible vers in the bio? I only listen to true Christian artists like kid rock

Kid A by Radiohead
Aug 15 2026

Their 4th best album yet still a 5. Can a band get more peak. Idgaf if it’s glaze

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Aug 17 2026

It actually amazes me how many albums exist where the artist fully locked in for one song and then just threw on whatever else they had. It amazes me even more that multiple of those albums are on this list while some of the highest praised, most popular, or most influential ones aren’t. There are entire bands left off this list while others have multiple albums are far worse. Not all of this applies to this album but I recently looked up albums kept off the list and it’s on my mind. This album gets a tres from me (See what I did there)

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 18 2026

This is who I imagine the whiplash kid grew up to be

Green by R.E.M.
Aug 20 2026

Lightning, water, fire, earth, and… grreeeeenn Do you know ball

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Aug 21 2026

Instrumental good, I can’t believe this is how I found the origin of Jersey girl ( Springsteen did it better). But the voice gets a little much after a while. Good at the start but gets tiring.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Aug 23 2026
Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Aug 25 2026

More bangers than downers but a little long

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Aug 26 2026

Kinda boring, maybe it’s just not for me. Title tracks good though

Trio by Dolly Parton
Aug 27 2026

Not the biggest country guy Rip dolly

White Ladder by David Gray
Aug 28 2026

I really like this one. Maybe it’s because of the past albums I got being kinda mid, but this one slaps.

Revolver by Beatles
Aug 29 2026

There are some genuinely great, maybe even perfect songs on this. But there’s still a little bit of just average that keeps this from a 5

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Aug 30 2026

First song is great, but then it gets a little too weird and slow

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Aug 31 2026

Ts feel more lukewarm than hellish

Brothers by The Black Keys
Sep 01 2026

This album is enjoyable. This album gets a 4
