Pretenders by Pretenders

I don't mind this, I like the retro rock vibe. It is very 'of it's time'. That said, the tracks do blend together somewhat, not in a cohesive way, but in a 'wait it's been four songs already, I thought it was just one really long song' kind of way. Slightly bland. The lead singer has a very listenable and smooth voice, I like it.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jul 27 2026

This is such a beautiful, haunting peace of music. My favourites were Introduction and At The Chime Of A City Clock. My least favourite was Poor Boy.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jul 28 2026

Very groovy, I like the rhythms. It is, however, not my taste. I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't choose to listen to it again. My favourite was Lonesome Suzie, my least favourite was Caledonia Mission.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jul 29 2026

I'm not a fan, sorry. Frank Sinatra can sing really well, I just don't like this kind of music.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jul 31 2026

I loved this so much. Favourite song: Chicago. Least favourite: The Seer's Tower.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Aug 03 2026

Reminds me of a road trip. Very powerful, fleshed out songs. It sounds polished, but raw at the same time. Favourite: Intervention. Least favourite: Ocean of Noise.

Aug 04 2026

Such an iconic sound, every song was fleshed out and felt like it belonged.

GI by Germs
Aug 05 2026

Definitely an iconic punk sound, but I didn't love it. The songs sounded very similar and the lyrics felt boring.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Aug 06 2026

Solid album, dude couldn't even name it properly or get dressed for the album cover but it still hits hard.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Aug 07 2026

Yay folk-rock ๐Ÿ˜

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Aug 12 2026

This is so calming and soothing, perfect chill-out music. I really enjoyed it!

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Aug 14 2026

Definitely not their best, the vocals are too quiet and the tracks are boring. Still, I didn't dislike it and I could see it being a background album.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Aug 15 2026

This is so creative and imaginative. I wouldn't have expected myself to love it so much. Fantastic.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Aug 16 2026

Every song is identical. The rock and roll style isn't unpleasant to listen to, but I don't understand how 6 entire Elvis Costello albums have made it on this list when this one is so mediocre. I genuinely don't realise when the song switches, they are that similar and bland.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Aug 17 2026

The first time I wished I was born without ears occurred halfway through the second song. That feeling remained for the next TWO HOURS. Seriously, a live, two hour psychedelic space rock album. Genuine ear torture. The songs sound so disjointed and messy and the random plonking synths make me want to pull a Van Gogh. I hate this.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Aug 18 2026

Absolute rock classic, but slightly too high energy for me. Every aspect of the band is flawless, the cohesive sound is iconic. Legendary.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Aug 19 2026

Dull and repetitive. Not necessarily terrible, but I don't think many people, me included, would be devastated if they had never listened to it. The music of the 80s is heralded as amazing, as if every track that was produced during that decade is undisputably outstanding. But this is just boring.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Aug 20 2026

This makes me feel the urge to buy a motorbike and stay in a motel. Funky and fun, but also slightly...meh? It didnt have the soul, it just felt bland and lacked depth.

Aug 21 2026

Yoo I kidna dig this. It's so funky and flowing, like a disco river. Whilst it is ambient, I think it's more than that. It doesn't demand attention, but if you grant it, you'll probably end up enjoying the music. It isn't grating or irritating, just interesting and chill. Some reviews mention a frustration at this album's inclusion on the list, but I think it is well deserved. It's a classic, and a good one.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Aug 22 2026

An enjoyable listen! The synths and robot-ness created an interesting soundscape and I would probably listen to this again. Crazy that they did this in the 70s.
