Barry Adamson
4/5
interesting album, some songs are compositions over random recordings, some are upbeat piano pieces others are just stories like it alot

misses the spice from the more electronic hits and misses the feel of a good song with content.

3/5
historically it might be good because its the first country rock album but right now its a bit dated
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
pretty nice
Finley Quaye
4/5
quite nice and musically not just the simple cliche reggae everyone knows

a little punkish
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
2/5
fully vocal african music reminiscent of lion king esque ambiance, im sure some people find this beautiful but im not one of them
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
go west and can you forgive her are decent songs but the rest are just lesser variants of those. The album as a whole can be reduced to those 2 songs and it wouldnt hurt it
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
hard to judge, its good funky electronic music
Orange Juice

I guess some time it was a hit but now it lacks standing out quality that differentiates it from similar albums. Its not bad music but not exceptional

3/5
not a fan of r&b but the album stands out

Prefab Sprout
3/5
its alright
Fleet Foxes
3/5
Requires more listening I guess, mediocre at the first go
Nas
4/5
The lyrical flow is great and works nicely with the samples and beat. But the content isn't much different than other rap albums.

decent rock album that still has traces of blues and other remarkable features

3/5
classic punk
The Kinks

a good hard rock album but it misses out on having that 1 hit song that really carries it away
Serge Gainsbourg
4/5
quite nice even if i cant understand the lyrics much nothing much like it

4/5
altough ill probably never become a beatle fan, it cannot be denied the album is quite diverse and musically interesting for a pop album.
Joy Division
4/5
nice
Dinosaur Jr.
2/5
describing it as noise rock is most fitting, as vocals and melody are under constant distortion noise, i guess its a style that can work, but not for me
The Undertones
4/5
nice upbeat punk album that has lyrically a lot of content to add that might be lacking in other albums in the genre
Joni Mitchell
3/5
its alright but there is no song that really stands out to me

Lucinda Williams
4/5
interesting voice and tempo, the sound quality is pretty nice and most songs are good
Death In Vegas
4/5
nice alternative electronic album, add to it vocals from various artists and you get a banger album
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
Bruce springsteen is amazing in that even the albums that don't make it to the stream charts still have songs on them that are great.
Supertramp
3/5
dreamer and school are definitely outstanding songs and the rest isn't bad , but i can't say it left a memorable impression

3/5
typical 60s softrock

3/5
old school british punk
Gillian Welch

Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
its alright i guess

4/5
interesting songs, lacks a real hitsong, great melodies and the topics are non standard
Alexander 'Skip' Spence
4/5

Drive Like Jehu
2/5
i think hardcore punk is not for me
The Jesus And Mary Chain

punk band with its own sound, great songs

3/5
nice cheerful music to make you move
System Of A Down
3/5
decent metal album that stylistically doesn't stand out much but isn't bad either
The Pretty Things
3/5
decent rock album, the fact it tells a story is noticeable even when you don't pay attention and overal its an alright gimmick
Pere Ubu
2/5
starts of great with roots of punk there and new electrical sound as the album progresses some 'experimental' sounds are used which mainly make your ears bleed
Yes
3/5
iconic roundabout tune, stylistically reminds me of supertramp its alright
OutKast
4/5
its a good album eventhough its not really my taste, a mix of all kinds of genres with a couple hits inbetween too
Bob Dylan
3/5

every song filled with feeling and great technique, altough not my style makes for a great performance

standard acdc album
Muddy Waters

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
3/5
the whole album sounds like it could have been made 5 years ago in terms of sound quality, altough im not into latin music it is alright
The Birthday Party
2/5
sounds very primitive and i can understand its unique appeal but its not really for me
Bert Jansch
3/5
nice songs accompanied by acoustic guitar, some songs in de middle are kinda of lacking in diversity and a different dynamic, angie is nice altough i wonder what kind of lyrics theme it would fit
Dr. Dre
3/5
decent 90s rap album album
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
its alright album, i guess it has a theme but the old people 'track' is a little bit odd
Hugh Masekela
3/5
alright jazz album, i dont get jazz so just not for me
Jeff Beck
4/5
nice album with a mix of rock and blues rock
Drive-By Truckers
4/5
a generic rock album at first but as i listened it grew on me and the southern twang combined with the story told with the songs makes it different from the rest
Jimmy Smith
3/5
chill jazz album, am not a jazz person
The Band
4/5
nice album with great songs
Black Sabbath
4/5

great album great songs, overal amazing u2 sound
The Byrds
2/5
while musically good, with decent lyrics and good harmonies i find the album lacking any sort of 'soul' or feeling

William Orbit
3/5
its an ambient album, which barely any vocals but somehow it manages to keep your attention
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
the album is decent, with somewhat simple lyrics here and there

3/5

4/5
amazing album, unique sounding electronic songs that remind me of war chants or similar music
The Isley Brothers
4/5
good funky soulful album
Isaac Hayes
2/5
alright, but besides the shaft theme song lets a bit down on the other ends
The Beach Boys
4/5
the beach boys unique harmony sound is one of a kind and the songs dont bore even after so many years

3/5
really diverse album many genres are used altough alternative rock is the main theme, would recommend altough i dont really like it much
Massive Attack
3/5
decent easy listening ambient/electronic album
The Who
3/5

3/5
decent alternative rock album i suppose
Red Snapper
4/5
album contains classic rap to ambient electric tracks and does it in a way I've not heard before, surprised it has so few streams on spotify

3/5
its alright, r&b/soul mixed with electronic beats but its doesnt really excite me
2Pac
3/5
decent classic rap album
Led Zeppelin
4/5
nice album, if you're familiar with Led Zeppelin nothing will surprise you from this album. Mostly blues rock songs
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
decent album, surprised they managed to create the album after their main lyricist left like he did
Fairport Convention
3/5
like the wiki says, it feels a bit like jefferson airplane if they played folk instead of rock. Voice is great and songs are diverse but nothing too special
Guided By Voices
3/5
these albums with short songs/fragments instead of full blown songs is interesting but ultimately it feels like its missing its potential as every song is just a part of what it could have been.
Baaba Maal

Joan Armatrading
4/5
great voice and great songs, its not my taste really but i can't deny its a great piece of music

3/5
an interesting fusion of rock and jazz

Crosby, Stills & Nash
3/5
decent album with nice harmonies, and some classic songs
Pixies
3/5
cool album has some nice songs a little bit alternative compared to mainstream rock
Oasis
3/5
great album from the britpop era
The Jam
3/5
its an alright album but besides 'That's entertainment' it lakes some magic to make it stand out
Heaven 17
3/5
interesting album going from synth rb to just synth pop with some unusual political lyrics that are very obvious but not annoying
Marvin Gaye
3/5
i feel like if i were to describe romance as a sound, the start of this album would come close. some songs on it are more jazz/ funky but they arent executed as well
The Black Keys
4/5
nice bluerock with a style filled with soft distortion decent album
The Stooges
3/5
decent punk rock album
The Slits
3/5
cool early punk album similar to siouxie and the banshees, the female driven punk really has a different style
Mj Cole
2/5
the instrumentals are basically just a drum loop with some sound effects. Combine this with the fact that most of the vocals are just ad libs that are heavily editted its kind of a soulless album
The Specials
3/5
decent british ska like, not sure who came first but i get some strong iggy pop vibes from parts of the album
Gary Numan
3/5
interesting electronic sound, kinda of ambient but a bit more funky. Its a nice sound i hadnt heard before. But the album doesnt deviate much from this along the album which makes it a somewhat boring case. Nevertheless decent track
Tom Waits
4/5
not your ordinary rock album, the first song is reminiscent of some dwarf fantasy song. The next one sounds like the opening of a detective. Everything supported by Tom's unique voice.
Christine and the Queens
3/5
not really a fan, its alright but it just feels like its someone from france trying to be generic american pop
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
alright album, not innovative compared to other elvis costello albums
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
great album capturing fleetwood mac, strong instrumental songs aswell as vocal ones. Although the use of different singers and styles make it feel like its a mashup of 2/3 different other records. And some songs remind me of more famous songs
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
good reggea album but i think most good reggea just sounds the same
Ride
2/5
forgettable kinda
B.B. King
4/5
great voice, would definitely recommend
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
nice combination of poetic lyrics, great vocal harmonies and a good instrumental backup
Marvin Gaye
3/5
decent soul album
Bob Dylan
3/5
decent blues style dylan album
The B-52's
4/5
cool punk esque alternative album with a uninque catchy sound
Anthrax
3/5
not a huge fan of thrahs metal but its alright, lyrics are kinda funny and its listenable
Circle Jerks
3/5
very classic punk, not my jam but its alright
Talking Heads
3/5
musically interesting, arrangements are unique without being a niche genre
The Smiths
3/5
alright soft/alt rock album, much political content that im not really aware of
Manu Chao
4/5
multilingual album of which i don't speak many, regardless the songs are nice and sound poetic. Musical composition is great. Surprisingly good album for a street busker
Slint
4/5
first listen is quite rough, there are some high pitched noices that i dont think belong in music. As you listne more though the spoken word stories combined with heavy ominous bass instrumentals create and interesting experience
John Coltrane
3/5
i dont understand jazz
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
4/5
nice blues rock album
Chicago
4/5
nice jazzrock album that starts at jazz and ends on a seemingly improv rock instrumental.
The Teardrop Explodes
3/5
its alright, punk styled album with some interesting added influences that can be called psychedelic
Merle Haggard
3/5
sounds a like an alright classic country album
Television
4/5
nice album, a bit alternative post punk but it stands out because of the instrumentals
Miles Davis
3/5
not a fan of jazz
Elvis Presley
3/5
Pretty standard elvis album, shows the overlap with original black rock and roll but not really that special
Talking Heads
5/5
great album so much energy, i guess cocaine
Rod Stewart
4/5
decently nice album with some interesting elements to complement the rock ballads,
Primal Scream
3/5
very experimental and divers sometimes the thought comes to mind if they thought about if they should even if they could
Röyksopp
4/5
nice melodic trance album that doesnt get boring somehow
Beatles
4/5
nice pop album from the beatles taht still holds up today
Gang Of Four
4/5
nice post punk rock album
Tortoise
3/5
very experimental electronic and some instrumentals, interesting
Frank Sinatra
3/5
good sinatra album, i guess the album as a whole is better than each song individually
Big Brother & The Holding Company
4/5
great album. The vocals of janis joplins i was familiar with but the energy of this album is much more than that
Louis Prima
4/5
great songs great execution still swings after more than 60 years
Beastie Boys
3/5
lyrically interesting, with a good flow its odd you dont hear them much anymore
Patti Smith
3/5
decent creative album, very unique
Keith Jarrett
4/5
never listened to a piano concert before, and i must say i was pleasantly surprised, i felt like the music told a story without words or any hint towards it which was a cool experience
Eminem
4/5
i love this album, its clever, creat lyrics, doesnt bore and the skits are kind of funny putting the whole slim shady act together
The Kinks
3/5
great kinks album with their famous songwriting of semi casual rock songs that are that perfect mix of 60s sound and more modern rock
The Rolling Stones
3/5
all round great stones album
Bon Jovi
4/5
this album is the essence of 80s rock can't believe he managed to put so many bangers on 1 album
Derek & The Dominos
3/5
decent blues rock album
Solange
3/5
a clear album drivne forward by the BLM movement. Its decent R&B and i think the value added would be the personal stories told inbetween the songs but i dont think it makes it a great album from a musical standpoint
Judas Priest
4/5
good thrahs metal album that clearly bridges between more traditional heavy metal and modern thrash metal
The Soft Boys
3/5
feels more like a quirky alternate rock album than the psychedelic music i know
4/5
great britpop album
Lauryn Hill
3/5
nice r&b rap combo a bit more literate than the usual rap music
Stevie Wonder
3/5
is a good album but i don't think its that spectaculair
Foo Fighters
3/5
decent garage/grung rock album, impressive that everything is made by growl himself
Paul Weller
3/5
decent album, has its own sound pulling from rock but also a bit more slow pace
Ray Charles
3/5
album ranged from a piano chuck berry to a songs similar to frank sinatra, decent 60s album
Shuggie Otis
3/5
has some nice songs on it but i don't get why its called psychedelic also some of the songs are basically elevator music so it evens out i guess
Isaac Hayes
3/5
decent album
Black Sabbath
4/5
very black sabbathesque hardrock, heavy on the guitars quite primitive in that regard but the lyrics are way better than you'd think
Pixies
4/5
a mix of punk alternative rock and some experimental weird touches makes for something that reminds me of smashing pumpkins but in its own unique way
Bad Company
3/5
entertaining classic rock album
Basement Jaxx
2/5
its like experimental electronic music which means while maybe at some points interesting makes for not as pleasant listening experience. and at many points the album and songs are not really coherent.
The Replacements
4/5
a decent punk album with very nice lyrical content
Travis
4/5
beautiful album ful of emotional ballads about lost souls in life i suppose
Living Colour
3/5
i feel the album doesnt really know what it wants, its a mix of glamrock, 80s rock some hip hop all while song by a very 80s sounding singer. Its not bad per song but as a whole its a bit confusing
Japan
3/5
album is a nice synth pop album a bit on the more slow and darker side of things
The Rolling Stones
5/5
it might miss their best of hits but this album is so nice as a whole, with diverse good songs mostly from the blues rock genre and interesting compositions
Neil Young
3/5
i feel this album is heavily carried by 2 songs, heart of gold and old man, and i think old man from a pure songwriting perspective in using words to make something special its not that good. decent songs but not outstanding as an album
Coldplay
4/5
insane for a debut album, it is one of the great things coming out of the post britpop genre
Lana Del Rey
2/5
i knew lana del ray from earlier work so the style doesnt come as a surprise. you can like it or not. Meanwhile i think the lyrics are very cliche. It feels like with many of the songs they made up an edgy sounding title first and wrote the rest of the lyrics around it. Some of the lyrics almost sound like an AI got a mix of edgy feelings and country fed to come up with them. not really a fan of this album
FKA twigs
2/5
the music is kind of creative and new but her singing doesn't add much unique to the tracks
Amy Winehouse
3/5
surpringly well written concept album that does not include any of her major hits but still puts her amazing voice on display
Ray Charles
2/5
its not bad sounding but i think its incredibly generic 60s rock music while also just taking classic songs and making them lose their qualities in the process
The National
2/5
while the lyrics tell whole stories the musical composition is rather dull and boring
Gotan Project
3/5
nice unstrumental album, doesn't become boring and is quite diverse
Sisters Of Mercy
3/5
sort of a dark new wave album which is quite unique in sound in my experience but it lacks a bit to be really considered great i suppose
The Who
3/5
cool that such and old album already was using non music interludes to spice up and album to something more than a list of songs
Siouxsie And The Banshees
4/5
great post punk album with its own unique (somewhat hysterical sound)
Deep Purple
5/5
one of the greatest live albums ever made by one of the greatest hard rock bands ever
Os Mutantes
4/5
its spanish but it sounds like a 60s softrock band, and 60s spanish music and it has some intersting sounds in it that remind me of more electronical influences so its quite an intersting album. pretty good for it's era
Adam & The Ants
3/5
i guess it has historic significance for using burundi beat but besides that its alright but nothing spectaculair, reminds me a bit of soft rock/punk
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
2/5
i knew the message and figured it would be a classic rap album. however, a big part of the album is more towards R&B. Some relgious themes too. The content is mostly social so thats cool and the early days dj techniques are also fun but it's a bit outdated besides its title track
Aretha Franklin
3/5
decent album great voice she is called the queen of soul for a reason
Funkadelic
4/5
this is great, funk music but every songs tries to really put something new out. Opening track is just a great song and the rock and roll one is cool too
Primal Scream
4/5
great album very diverse going from jazz to funk and psychedelics as the name implies
The Undertones
4/5
a mix between punk and rock with a clear irish sound it doesn't seem to bore
The Cars
4/5
very energetic pop/ pop rock album that has some interesting songs
R.E.M.
5/5
album filled with insane songs
The Hives
3/5
nice modern punk album
Bauhaus
2/5
not as interesting as other albums in a similar genre
Sonic Youth
3/5
its like goth rock/punk a bit alternative and musically interesting but doesnt really listen very well to me
The Triffids
2/5
its alright folk rock but i dont get why this is on the list or what special about it
The Smiths
3/5
not that interesting
Muddy Waters
4/5
nice blues album one of the important people in original blues and laying the foundation for rock and roll later on
4/5
just some of the greatest u2 has brought
Björk
3/5
its like art pop but while interesting its lacking something that's actually pleasant to listen to still decent though
Shivkumar Sharma
2/5
it sounds like an intersting background theme for in a game or something to set the mood but graciously. I wouldnt listen to it normally its too simple
Elvis Presley
3/5
typical elvis rock and roll album with fever as its main selling point as a more slow song, its typical elvis style so it isn't bad but it doesn't really set itself apart either
A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
its nice, a step up from classic rap while not falling into the pretty standard gangsta rap variant
My Bloody Valentine
3/5
its alright i guess, shoegaze alternative rock
Cypress Hill
3/5
cypress hill has its own style in the rap genre that is a bit hard to compare to other groups from the same era but its entertaining enough
The Lemonheads
4/5
an alternative rock album with clear punk/postpunk influences, lyrics are well written and the mrs robinson cover is great
Elbow
4/5
very unique album, it has a variety of different styles throughout, hard to compare it to something else or to really narrow it down to a genre but i think its really good
Hole
4/5
great modern punk album
Its a decent album, an example of rod stewards style of rock songs stay with me is a great song and the others are decent
SZA
3/5
sounds like an average modern rb pop album tbh thematics and lyrics are at some points above average but the rest sounds like drum loops so im not sure why there is a book required for the writing credits
Big Star
3/5
interesting album tbh, its a shame the other songs arent on spotify.
David Bowie
3/5
never bothered too much with the ambient music genre but this is just bowie class
The Prodigy
3/5
its a nice album but it has to grow on you, for me it starts out as a quite harsh drum and bass album but slowly you get into the flow and then it becomes really nice
Slipknot
4/5
suprisingly very political songs in a genre that might initially be offputting, turns out to be a great album with some musical diversity
Leftfield
4/5
nice house album, the album starts slow with some tribal african influences then it picks up midway to become a more club like house album
George Jones
3/5
decent country album
Prince
4/5
although im dont consider myself a fan prince, he has his own style and he executed it with class this album holding 3 great songs and the others not far behind
Charles Mingus
2/5
i dont understand the point of jazz besides setting an ambiance in a film or something, this one is alright i guess not too fancy last song is quite intense
Roxy Music
4/5
its very artsy alternative rock, reminds me a lot of steely dan
Abdullah Ibrahim
3/5
mix between general jazz and a soundtrack that would fit a movie with a nice landscape
Mott The Hoople
4/5
i thought it was just a side gig from bowie but this album shows that they have their own quality in writing interesting songs inbetween rock and glamrock genre
Gorillaz
4/5
a band and album that cannot really be pinned to one genre, very creative without being annoying 4/5 is a personal favorite as skater song
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
its a decent album and what it does, it does well but considering the length of it, i feel it could lose some material without losing much value, under the bridge is a great song obviously
Lou Reed
4/5
very cool concept album
Pavement
3/5
decent alt rock punk rock album
Miles Davis
3/5
sounds like jazz to me
Iggy Pop
5/5
really good album with some legendary songs
The Flaming Lips
4/5
very decent concept album, when i heard fight test i immediately heard father and son so on that matter the plagiarism is valid.
Dire Straits
4/5
one of the all time best rock albums
Khaled
3/5
suprisingly good, didnt expect so many modern influences in an arabic/french album. decent package overal
The Roots
4/5
cool album, with many influences and a more developed musical background than many other rap groups
Taylor Swift
3/5
its an okay folk pop album, hollow is interesting but there is not another song that can live up to the same level. Not bad but not outstanding either.
The Doors
3/5
decent blues rock, mainly carried by morrisons voice and classic blues compositions
Jurassic 5
4/5
one of the better classic rap albums whats golden is a banger and the rest has a nice flow
Cocteau Twins
3/5
interesting album, not exactly my cup of tea but its an intersting melodious dreamy style of ambient like music
Koffi Olomide
2/5
the non standard "world" music albums are always cool i guess kind of albums, as in its interesting to listen to but id probably never listen to it again.
Fats Domino
3/5
nice blues rock a shame im missing half the album on spotify
Iggy Pop
3/5
after having listened to lust for life first, this albums seems to be a musical piece composition piece that is mostly contributed by bowie while iggy only supplied vocals that arent as prominent
Ian Dury
3/5
cool example that good songwriting is all you need for a nice album, Ian Durry sounds like an average bloke but the songs are still great
King Crimson
3/5
decent album i suppose its special partially for its innovation at the time, reminds me a little bit of rainbow with dio albeit more 'alternative'
The Charlatans
3/5
it sounds like alright britpop but with more rock than some similar groups from the era. Some songs also have interesting instrumentals but thats about it
Tom Waits
3/5
cool album, clearly on the same theme as sworfishtrombones, still very experimental with some songs more fitting in a movie about dwarves but very nice nonetheless
Billy Bragg
4/5
i love this album, atlough the lyrics were written by someone else, i feel the songs are very well put together lyrics + music
Hüsker Dü
2/5
when i started listening i wondered why this album is on the list. Then i read the wiki and from what i understand, its mainly its historical value that puts it here. The music isn't bad and the lyrical songwriting pretty good but overal forgettable
Depeche Mode
2/5
its a bit boring and missing anything to stand out, might have some historical relevance im not aware of
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
karen o's distinct voice combined with a fusion of electronic melodies and alt rock instrumentals makes for a nice album
Erykah Badu
3/5
sounds like an alround r&b album
Booker T. & The MG's
3/5
i mean its a cool album buts its basically of the opening track an the organ to make it with all the other songs just tributes to it
Kraftwerk
3/5
considering this is released in 1977 pretty advanced electronic album
3/5
a little more generic talking heads, post punk new wave style
Thundercat
3/5
very chill jazzy modern album, somehow just keeps the thing going on without dropping a beat, might be a bit boring after a while
Pink Floyd
4/5
pink floyd albums are standing out so much because it feels like every moment in the song i supposed to be there, there is no unnecessary silence, not over the top instrumental. It all justs fits there
5/5
i love muse, and i knew the headliners of this album starlight, supermassive blackhole and knights of cydonia but the other songs are also great, special mention of map of the problematique. Only critique is that since hearing the live version of knights i cannot hear that one anymore without the once upon a time in the west intro
Tricky
4/5
pretty cool album, shows still alot of the massive attack style but with more lyrical input
Everything But The Girl
2/5
she is telling a book worth of stories in these songs but its just boring elevator music
OutKast
3/5
above average rap album would give it a 3.5 if i could
The Velvet Underground
3/5
decent album, pale blue eyes is an all time favorite
Peter Frampton
4/5
Good classic rock album, but considering its a live album its pretty amazing. sometimes I forgot it was live until I heard the crowd cheering again.
Sam Cooke
4/5
pretty good blues and soul album, and the live part really adds to the atmosphere
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
3/5
very unique style of music, not really a clear style therefor pop although its quite eccentric
The Electric Prunes
3/5
decent psychedelic 60 album, however this is mainly about the first part of the album as the end becomes more tame and has some odd songs
Led Zeppelin
4/5
a more acoustic sounding led zeppelin album, that still touches hard rock, folk rock and blues influences throughout
Neil Young
4/5
had to switch to youtube to listen to this album. started listening to this thinking it would be some overrated piece only there because it had the name neil young to it. but surprisingly i couldnt keep noticing the great songwriting
Santana
4/5
eventhough i dont like it, i cannot deny its a good mostly instrumental album combining different genres to a complete whole
Common
3/5
very nice socially active album, music is alright i suppose, funny seeing kanye doing things
Jethro Tull
4/5
cool medieval metal sounding album, with multiple songs spanning the same tale, definitely a great unique sound
Solomon Burke
4/5
its in the name i guess old time rock and soul mixed, i love the sound on this track for some reason feels different than other records from its time, decent songs too
Super Furry Animals
3/5
its a decent album, mostly punk influences combined with some experimental rock. its not bad and it evolves throughout but i can't say it's really great either a weird one
Songhoy Blues
3/5
its nice listening to an african album but with modern instrumentals, the melodies are nice and warm and eventhough i can't understand the lyrics, they fit well together to form a harmonious package
Tito Puente
3/5
very recognizable from movies, the music to play in a restaurant instantly sets a cozy mood but i wouldnt really listen to this with headphones on
Lynyrd Skynyrd
4/5
cool album, seems to be a more rare genre within rock, southern rock
Caetano Veloso
2/5
it sounded wrong but it might just be that portugese i believe is not a nice singing language imo
Ghostface Killah
3/5
decent rap album, more storytelling than albums nowadays are. Musically its also good.
Electric Light Orchestra
4/5
great orchestral rock album, mixing classical, rock and roll and other influences to create a complete fun album
Pretenders
3/5
pretty cool punk rock album, with interesting vocals along with the classic punk rock sound
David Gray
4/5
very nice "folkatronic" album that has nice pop ballads with electronic backing to create a very chill record
Butthole Surfers
3/5
interesting experimental punk/rock, kinda funny but for listening purposes probably gets boring after a while
Stan Getz
3/5
cool jazz samba album as the title implies, just chill vibes
The Fall
3/5
decent post punk album, its alright not outstanding. Most remarkable feature is the use of guitar riffs throughout that are more noticeable in similar acts
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
its soul its groovy not my style though but still alright
Aerosmith
4/5
solid rock album, very surprised about the low stream count on spotify. its an alround great album only lacking a real sing along hit
Linkin Park
5/5
just an alround great album with all time greatest "crawling" and obviously "in the end" still consider it one of the best choices i made by going to their concert a month before chester took his own life
Goldfrapp
3/5
takes a few more listens to get into it, its alright but still not standing out that much. has a bit of an artsy vibe to it
Skunk Anansie
4/5
good alt rock album, doesn't bore out and uses tempo alot to keep the listener interested
Arctic Monkeys
4/5
arctic monkeys have this typical alt rock style that reminds of a more sophisticated punk rock alt rock style of the 90s and older. nowadays copied by more bands but still very decent music
Blondie
4/5
a very catchy pop/rock album, with 2 bangers and the rest of the songs is alright
The Sabres Of Paradise
1/5
boring experimental electronic noise
Frank Black
3/5
interesting album with some songs with more rough edges than others overal a decent album
Brian Eno
3/5
odd album, decent to listen to but its content is a bit weird, artsy almost. Sounds like it pulled alot of inspiration from talking heads
Fiona Apple
4/5
musically intriguing, the songs tell a good story but overall it can become tiring to listen to.
Joy Division
4/5
joy division has its own very distinctive sound and eventhough this album lacks a typical 'hit' its still a great album regardless
The Who
5/5
sick album especially if you consider the fact that this was made in 1971 and its basically a template for the next 30 years of rock right there. Powerful guitars, strong voice what else do you want from a rock album
John Lee Hooker
3/5
very decent blue(rock) album
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
3/5
very recognizable 80s synth album, has a few hits and the rest is alright
Incredible Bongo Band
3/5
for an album named bongo rock its a pleasant surprise. Although a bunch of the songs are carried more by other instruments than bongo.
The Band
4/5
a developed version of blues rock until it doesn't really share much with blues rock. It has a great sound and the weight it a great song but the rest of the songs a ren't all that different.
Robbie Williams
3/5
decent pop album with 2 big hits on it, some of the more slow paced songs get a bit boring however.
Genesis
4/5
really cool and somewhat odd concept album, early years genesis is truly something else
Radiohead
4/5
i love this album, takes a bit more than 1 listen to get into it though
Air
4/5
pretty cool slow paced edm album with some added instrumental for more depth
LL Cool J
4/5
the name LL cool J reminded me of a C tier famous person in bad mtv shows, but this album is surprisingly good. Lyrically very nice and the beats are also creative enough.
Curtis Mayfield
2/5
a little bit boring, a pretty standard soul/r&b song that didn't really inspire musically
Justice
3/5
not my cup of tea mostly but i can admit that especially the first half of the album is pretty good and creative
Wilco
3/5
I think the music is a bit dull compared to the lyrics its alright I guess.
Pulp
4/5
very nice britpop album
Method Man
3/5
pretty good rap album, has some humor in it too
Talk Talk
3/5
pretty standard new wave album i feel like it just goes on where "it's my life" left
The United States Of America
4/5
quite interesting for such an old rock record
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
just a great album
Van Halen
4/5
eventhough its released in 78 it feels like one of the core 80s rock albums, eruption is even more impressive in live versions
Leonard Cohen
5/5
i feel like this album goes back to his start, slow poetic somber songs i love it
Dead Kennedys
3/5
has a unique sound but besides that it just fits into the punk category and it doesnt feel extra special to me
Eagles
3/5
easy listening rock, dont think it was that special
Traffic
3/5
title song is interesting and style is somewhat unique but not remarkable enough to stand out
David Crosby
3/5
good blues rock / country album
Madness
4/5
great ska album, also nice its a concept album thats kind of unique in being positive and human
Adele
4/5
im surprised that hello was the most overplayed track of this album, the rest is amazing great album. A worthy successor to 21
Metallica
3/5
its a nice to hear a hardrock band backed by a full orchestra but somehow there is something off that I can't put my finger on. It does prevent this from being a match made in heaven however.
The Cardigans
3/5
cool album with a unique sound
John Cale
4/5
its a peculiar album because its described as pop but no one would really think of this when they say pop. It reminds me of simon & garfunkel and john denver. Lyrically very intruing
Dolly Parton
3/5
a classic country album, shows why dolly is the icon she is today
Iron Maiden
3/5
its a decent album but i think its a bit soft compared to my expectation of iron maiden. Some songs are on the hardrock level of Boston. Nonetheless a decent album i think a live perforance will do it more justice
Ella Fitzgerald
3/5
she sings nice and the music reminds me of a movie with snow outside and and the cozy warmth of inside but its not in my taste for regular listening
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
4/5
completely instrumental, at some point it grabbed my interest and didnt let go
Beastie Boys
3/5
lyrically pretty good, but their sound is pretty similar across albums so that gets a bit boring
Tori Amos
4/5
really pretty songs, definitely something special even if it doesn't have that many streams on spotify.
Fiona Apple
3/5
its nice, and has interesting songs but it feels very difficult. Like it costs energy to listen to.
great first 2 songs, the rest is alright but not outstanding
Björk
3/5
very artsy, a bit similar to pj harvey but different. Takes some effortto listen to. Songs are diverse so that's interesting. All and all not that much of a fan but I appreciate it regardless.
Pink Floyd
5/5
this album is a masterpiece, with one song flowing over into the next without ever getting close to boring. not much to say, just listen.
Tangerine Dream
3/5
its odd, interesting from a technical perspective not bad perse but i wouldnt listen to this in my free time
Dire Straits
4/5
great album
Duran Duran
4/5
honestly for a new wave album its quite good and has more interesting songs than you might think
The Go-Betweens
3/5
nice genuine album about love
Mike Ladd
4/5
very interesting artsy rap album, wasn't available on spotify for some reason but the whole album was on youtube anyway. I should definitely give this a few more listens but its certainly extraordinary.
The Waterboys
4/5
personally i love it, scottish folkrock with great songwriting
Ramones
3/5
punk in its essence, didnt notice any track transitions its just punk from begin to end
Gil Scott-Heron
3/5
its alright i guess
Screaming Trees
3/5
its a solid sounding album but i don't see why it is remarkable
Sheryl Crow
3/5
kinda cool blues rock album standing out for sure
Ministry
4/5
i didnt expect to like a trashmetal album, jesus built my hotrod is amazing and the other songs are also more creative than i expected
Deerhunter
3/5
i dont really care for it, a bit shoegazy alt pop not bad not outstanding either
Van Morrison
4/5
great album, very catchy. It has an original sound and style that I've not seen much before.
Nirvana
4/5
great raw album that really captures how much just a guy with a guitar can convey
Public Enemy
3/5
feels a bit black panther movement, but some of the clips criticizing black people are interesting generally not that interesting musically mainly a political statement
Eric Clapton
3/5
its a decent album but there isn't much to standout which is a shame because the music is great just nothing fancy for listening.
3/5
nice album, middle is a bit weird, sounds foreign like musically. I love with a little help from my friends.

5/5
amazing album, its like folk and simple and at the same time innovative like ive not heard much before had to listen to this multiple times over
Throbbing Gristle

3/5

pretty cool album, opening track is timeless obviously but the rest of the album is pretty great too
John Martyn
3/5

Bruce Springsteen
5/5
great album, just great songs

4/5
3 bangers and the rest is solid too, morrisons voice is just godly

4/5
very cool album, also still music despite all the samples and innovative stuff. unlike some albums that experiment so much they dont sound nice anymore. i guess thats why its special.
10cc
3/5
pretty cool album, second song is not great so i was put off at first after the wallstreet shuffle but the rest is great too
Green Day
5/5
i feel like this is probably the best 2000s punk rock album out there, has variety interesting topics great singalong and nice riffs. its the complete package

kinda cool actually its like a predecessor to prog rock with a bunch of electronics and rock mixed
Slayer
2/5
not my cup of tea tbh, seems a bit boring
The Rolling Stones
3/5
its somewhat odd since the first few songs are just pop-y songs that are catchy and more high tempo and then the rest of the album is just blue rock like music which is nice but it really makes the album a 2 parter
k.d. lang
2/5

catchy, has content idk something is just really chill about it

interesting concept album with cool music i guess it will stay relevant just out of its sheer odd story

idk why this is on the list, sounds like generic britrap to me

4/5
very fun, seeing its release date was way ahead of its time
Sonic Youth
3/5
pretty decent alt rock/punk rock album with some interesting stylistic choices that make it a bit more harsh
The Velvet Underground
3/5
stars calm but after a spoken word bizarre story turns into a highly experimental album with noises that arent always nice to hear but interesting for sure
Fishbone

3/5
the smiths were very political so naturally this is too, doesnt always entertain but the first of the gang song is a banger

Metallica

didnt enjoy it much, not very listen friendly for me

its surprising how many good songs are on this that are completely overshadowed by bitter sweet symphony
Moby
5/5
so many bangers on this, very unique style with old samples mixed with kinda of slow beats
Bill Callahan
3/5
it sounds like its a parody on songs that try to mean something profound, in the style of folksy music. I dont like it but I can't hate it either

honestly kind of dull as you get further into the album
Jerry Lee Lewis
3/5
decent fun live album
Grateful Dead
3/5
alright americana folk album
D'Angelo

interesting album, very nice start falls a bit flat passed the halfway mark but never gets dull
Animal Collective
3/5
interesting album, not a bad listen either but kinda weird i guess would be 3.5 but its not a 4 either so going with 3
JAY Z
3/5
its alright, a bit heavy on the content of the lyrics for me compared to its musical value
Run-D.M.C.

i love their style, the going back and forth they do is classic but it really ads dynamic to their songs
Talvin Singh
3/5
for sure interesting comparing middle eastern influences (forgive my ignorance) with electronic music

musically interesting lyrically i provocative and in need for multiple relistens
The Rolling Stones
3/5
i like that its still the classic blues rock kinda style
Steve Earle
3/5
decent album
3/5
never heard of this or the artist its an interesting album, a bit more glammy david bowie vibes
Doves
2/5
Its like an experimental psychedelic alt rock album. But at the end of the day it feels more like background noise to me than a set of songs.

still one of the best, if not the best concept albums of all time
Gram Parsons
3/5
nice old time country album with a bunch of classics

Lorde
3/5
its alright i guess
Neil Young
4/5
solid album, surprised that it doesnt have more songs that got famous

4/5
i love this album, its like surreal punkesque and while it doesnt have any song that really can be called a hit, everything just has such a cool flow
Daft Punk
4/5
starts out rough but once you get into it a solid album with no bad songs just good and better ones
Van Halen
3/5
van halen is the essence of 80s rock, i do feel that some of the songs have not done well through time but its still a good rock album
The Police
4/5
really solid album, very unique police sound, mixing rock reggea and new wave to something very distinct
Depeche Mode
3/5
its an alright album, with some bangers like enjoy the silence and personal jesus but it has some terrible songs too like sweetest perfection
Joni Mitchell
2/5
sounds too complicated to be enjoyable
Stan Getz
4/5
im not a fan of jazz but this album is so smooth and relaxing without being boring or dull, surely ill make an exception for this
2/5
i love his songs but this sounds just like the album versions so i dont know what the live part adds to it and most of the songs seem to go on and on getting boring after a while
John Lennon
2/5
started a bit dull then i thought it turned good but the tailend feels like trolling, with lowlight well well well
Megadeth
3/5
cool album, stays interesting, idk what else to write
Eurythmics
3/5
its not bad but as an album is much of the same, sweet dreams is a banger though

3/5
I wouldn't listen to this again but it's a very interesting style/concept nonetheless
The Cult
3/5
solid album
Small Faces
4/5
i love this, im not sure how to describe it. Very psychedelic rock themed at the start but the end is just joyful songs
The White Stripes
4/5
really solid rock/bluerock album, with interesting lyrics. Probably would be on this list even if it just had its opening track
David Bowie
4/5
bowie is a level on its own, i dont think this album is his best but its still really good
