Untalented people learned what a sitar was, and for some reason recorded an album

Simply no

What a classic album. Their first, legendary. Eruption is a true form guitar solo turned song.

Completely forgettable

R&B was never the same after Aretha. Classic songs on this album still important today.

This is actually a very funny album with some real guitar riffs/rock accents.

The man the myth the legend. Chills the entirety of the album. Hurt is the biggie but in my life is tremendous as is desperado

This was a fun album but didn’t have the charm I was expecting

Respect, but it was hard to get through the album in this non modern style

The 90s are alive in 2003. Maps is a classic

Music was there, just not my taste

Untalented people learned what a sitar was, and for some reason recorded an album

A perfect album

Mellow rock started here. The warm smell of colitas, rising through the air. The Eagles have the highest selling ‘best of’ album because of their steady even flow of songs. They can also rock out, as evidenced by Victim of Love. Glenn Frye has a smooth voice and Joe Walsh can slam the guitar. In a world of British rock, the American Eagles stand out.

R&B was never the same after Aretha. Classic songs on this album still important today.

Talented guys. Manic sound

The forefront of the new wave of pop punk that hoisted up The Ramones, The Clash, etc. fun ska

Talented guy but boring record. Don’t quite understand it’s legacy appeal.

Some of his classics and a very Bowie Beatles cover is on this album. He’s a legend for a reason

Very 90’s. She has a great voice and Criminal is a hit.

I ended up listening to 5 hours of Miles Davis. Smooth music

70s bop

Vocal harmonies abound in this very 60s sound. California Dreamin’ is a classic

Very talented guy! The exorcist theme is so much cooler now!

Old school for 1958 but good background music.

Snoozefest. Bring back 70s ABBA

I felt as if I was transported back to ancient times.

Some good ones but something felt lacking. Like this was a b sides album.

Smooth

Great and smooth background music

Early punk is good punk

And you may ask yourself, what is this beautiful house? It’s this album!

REM was the great counterbalance to grunge. Still feels very 90s and relatable today.

Hardcore punk rock is a lot to take. But it gets the job done!

Terrbile, just terrible

Not really feeling this one.

Very fun background music. Didn’t even realize the album ended!

Very good jazzy background music

The Pretenders are boldly 80s and it shows!

I really feel an influence from The Beach Boys/early Southern California rock. But I also hear the beginnings of the pop punk era. Well done and some classics. Although I can do without ‘turn blue’ lol

Johnny is a legend. I’ve never heard of anyone else playing a prison let alone several. This isn’t Folsom but it’s great to hear him rile the inmates. This is the type of country I can get behind.

Not the best versions of these Christmas songs.

Willie is a crooner. Georgia on my Mind cover is fantastic. This was an easy great listen.

Classic New Wave. Curt Smith is an 80s god. Classic songs too.

Probably revolutionary in 1992

Smooth listening

Usually hits are stuffed in the middle of an album but this album starts with ‘like a rolling stone.’ Impressive. We’ve spoken about this before but this is almost rap.

Lou Reed is a great musician but not really a big fan of this sound.

Started off funky then once we got to the Bruce cover downhill from there

Boring

Mot as good as the other one.

Not feelin it

Early Timbaland and Missy. Some of the greats.

Nas was 19 when he wrote this album - the talent. This was the beginning of east coast rap as it is today. Thank you Nas! Side note, I saw him play most of this album at Gov Ball in 2013.

Nothing special

You can’t go wrong with Led Zeppelin. LZ score: 3

This album is the culmination and the reason music exists. It’s so raw and pure. We all owe much credit to Muddy Waters and his contemporaries for this earliest version of rock and roll.

In their second album, we can see the gears turning and the ‘pop’ easing up!

Fun album.

They wailed lol! Also yesterday was a great day for an exodus

It’s not perfect and slow at parts but this is a standout in 90s hip hop/r&b

Chill

I mean cmon! Beatles scale: 4.7

Not my thing but not terrible music

Not as good as Fever to Tell

It wasn’t bad but also wasn’t memorable for me.

Good outing. Steely Dan’s vibe is perfect for a Friday.

Wasn’t the best talking heads album but psycho killer is a great song

Not good

Bad comapany...til the day I dieeeee

I just really enjoyed this album.

The Weight has such weight in the rock world. This is a good album

Just classic rock

New form of poetry. Chuck D is a rap god

Oasis is the height of 90s British rock

Jazzy

Authentic sound, fun listen

Not Chicago’s best but an interesting no vocal sound

4 stars for the 40 seconds he ya-hewed!

Couldn’t get through

Some great metal riffs!

I only knew Respect on the album but you always gotta show respect to the queen of soul

Pivotal

Classic song after classic song after classic song

Not great not terrible, extra star for the nip

We salute you back!

This album is high energy and has some of the great ZZ Top songs

What a classic album. Their first, legendary. Eruption is a true form guitar solo turned song.

Not absolutely terrible. Very funny track titles and they got us good.

Because of the ‘don’t you want me’ this album transcends decades. But every other song is bad.

Modern classic and wake up is legend. Hell of a first album.

Alt sound to the 80s. Blister in the sun and go daddy go are great

Solid album, funky grooves.

Marley Putt Drive was a semi bright spot in a dull album.

Did not like this at all

A lot of stuff happening on this album but the ‘heard it through the grapevine’ cover was well done

Not all old music is sustainable.

It would have been fun to see this live, but for the album I’m looking for a little more connectivity

Great composition, not digging much else

This definitely was a prelude to the 80s. Not terrible not great

Common has flow but didn’t love the album

Basically became background music

Very good

Not a fan

This dude was ahead of his time. Better musical poetry than most

Classic 90s

This album was almost a new one for me! It’s woven genres is really cool. I’ll give this an RS 4.9

Preachy but the rising (song) is a classic

Hank Williams did it in the 50s, emmylou Harris in the 70s

Nostalgia! Take me out was huge

This was a fun listen and a cool English punk/80s vibe

Story telling come to life. Rockin sound

Not my thing

The riffs, the metal. It had me

Lazy 80s

Creepy

Not as prolific of an album I’d thought it would be but Ray can still knock em down

It was fine

It really holds up. Maybe because it’s 30 years later but it doesn’t sound so innovative today

This was a really fun album and I loved the I got you babe cover

This was groovin and the just my imagination cover was good

I didn’t think this was anything special

Not an easy listen, that’s for sure

Unlistenable

Solid Trash

Too many skits - wasn’t as good as I thought it would be

A lot of classics on this album

Not bad. I felt the songs were missing hooks.

Not my jam

True grit

Not bad, some cool sounds

Paper planes IS Pineapple Express but this album is just noise

There was a lot going on. I think Sufjan got better with age

Definitely a lot of influence from the Beatles on this one

They are good. Too short of an album!

Most of the album was good chill vibes.

What came first? Gillian Welch or Lilith Fair?

Great album with great classics

Not a fan of this. If we’re looking at an evolutionary tree for punk rock, this is a different branch that went extinct

It was a bit less put together than I thought it would be

The music backing in early rap days is no joke. Samples used to this day

Not great

Boring

A chore to listen to

Strange album

Vanilla

Legenedary, wooooo [little Richard voice]

Classic pixies and where is my mind is a legendary song

The 90s were too good for this shit

Hard to get through to be honest

I missed the bittersweet symphony

It’s like a story book opera. Leonard Cohen is one of a kind

It was nice, pseudo psychedelic album

Not good by any means.

Couldn’t get in

Another album tough to get through

Some ok stuff

At the time I’m sure this must’ve been compared to The Beatles but it holds up

This was fun. Their beats would do well at coachella

Smooth

Not really my thing at all. Very whiney and weird

Good album but none of the true FMac classics

This was a lot of fun

Only a few original songs on this album but good covers too

Not what I was expecting by the album title and band name! But this is run of the mill 80s.

Shaft!

Not as electric as the Newport album

A masterpiece

Cult of personality!

I’m pretty sure the black panther score samples this

U2 is the worst thing to happen to music - and I still have that other albums on my iTunes 😂

Nearly perfect, and breakdown and American girl are huge. American girl is one of the best songs of all time. But the rest of the album hasn’t lasted in perpetuity in the same way.

Certified 5 star song writing

Pivotal moment in alt rock into the 00’s. Drive is a classic

Metal is a lot of fun and rust in peace is peak.

Laguna Sunrise is perhaps one of the best non-lyrical rock song ever. Changes is a force. This album is a riot!

Interesting to say the least

The worst of the 80s

Drive is a classic but this was a bit lackluster

Not feelin it

So so album

I don’t know what this was but +1 star for the cover album

Not really sure what this was

Classssssic

2 classics but the rest were alright

Legendary. Let’s stay together is a top 50 American song.

Doesn’t get much better than this.

This was actually a lot of fun!

Another fun album

The worst clash of emo, heavy metal and 80s

Work it is peak early 00’s. Although not every a song is famous, it’s a lot of fun. Luda/Gossip talks is underrated

This is ahead of its time and the apt evolution of pop music skewing away from rock. It’s sad in retrospect but these beats are the start of edm.

In retrospect this is nothing special and the volume is weird on this. But it probably was more influential in real time.

Concept album for sure. But I’ve seen all good people is a hit in its own right.

Not the jazz that I can listen to

Not good.

Everybody’s talkin was the single for Midnigjt Cowboy but the rest of the album fell flat

It started off a little weird but ended up being good background music

Metal meets grunge!

Nom remarkable in anyway. Not sure why it’s on this list

RIP to a legend. What a classic album

Certified 5 stars. RIP to the goat

A real talent. She makes a foreign language album fantastic regardless of lyrics

Three singles that made up college

Not good at all

This was a riot!

Hungry like the wolf saves the album

Ziggy is out of this world

Weird concept album but some good licks

Noise. But that one mean girls song is cool lol

One of the GOATS

Something special about David Lee Roth + Eddie Van Halen

The 90s are alive. Lovefool is on every 90z playlist. Iron Man cover is pretty cool. Otherwise, not bad

Fun album

A lot of fun, good background

In retrospect, not as good as I remember, despite So Fresh, So Clean, BoB and Ms. Jackson.

No brainer. For one album to have all these great songs, some of the best ever written, recorded etc is insane. Incredible. Can I give more than 5 stars?

Un-listenable

Not their strongest outing but still fun and some classics

Fun time for background music

Not my favorite

Really good background music

Not bad not great, they emulated the Beatles a lot

Yes! Roundabout

Nothing special really

All the young dudes! This song isn’t on this album but ya feel it still

Everything you’d want from a punk album

Real weird

No just no

I can see why she’s a legend

Like aldous snow but winier. FUCKING ROBBIE WILLIAMS

Pretty good. I liked the jazzy flair at parts

Perhaps the best first album of all time. Each one is a classic in its on right. I’ve listened to this album so much without realizing it was the first bc it’s so well thought out and just a perfect reflection of LZ

Not a big fan but can’t deny the talent

This album is important but there are some duds

Badlands, Darkness on the edge of town, etc. Bruce is the boss

Weird. They really like the weather lol

Not as good as he is with the stooges. Tiny Girls had a cool horn beat

Fun kind of rap

Weeeeeeird

Not bad at all

This is is the pantheon of great albums

Not bad, if not repetitive

Fun album - good genre

Wild ride

Not bad not bad

Not a lot but these beats are much covered

Not bad. Great Mrs. Robinson cover

Not really into it but big

Just alright

It’s hard to top the doors

Yacht Rock’s numero uno

Odd transitions, and regurgitated lyrics but as an early metal album it sets the stage

Nothing special at all

Meh

Not bad not bad

One of the greatest concept albums. What is the meaning of the wall!

Exactly what I want from early punk

Snoozefest

Barely an album but we’ve heard worse

They’re BACK in the saddle againnnnn

Fogerty can really put an album together. So many classics, so much grit.

The King, the Legend. Although I was thrown off by the full on sex sounds - I guess I always skipped that lol

Sorta garbage

Not my thing really

Fun British rap

Karma Police saved this otherwise middling album

I liked this album, but I do think it was missing something

Life on Mars? and Changes brought in the 5 stars

Superstition is one of the best songs and you are the sunshine of my life is a classic but the rest of the album fell flat

A lot goin on but some great licks

Somber

Talking heads for a new generation

Even if I did think that one song was a Jack Johnson song, still a top notch album

Some classics, a little slow

Post shuffle better than the album

Best of the best of punk

Carole King wannabe

What happened to the Gallaghers but thank god they do what they do

Wild world is a classic but I’m not much into cat Stevens

More new wave than soul but it wasn’t terrible

SURFBOARDT

Not their absolute best but still some great tunes

Typical 90s alt

Unmemorable

Early light heavy metal?

Mumbo jumbo

Respect but this was a tough listen

GOAT

Honestly didn’t enjoy this at all

Heroes but then kinda boring with everything else

Good but not great for the time period

Boomer moms rejoice!

A little loosey goosey/less guitar driven but still good. I shot the sheriff!

Joplin!

Where is Erykah Badu at? Who dat? Actually this album was better than expected and good background music.

Obvious

Legendary

I’ve listened to No More Mr. Nice Guy so many times but the first time I’ve heard the whole album. Solid stuff.

Steady steady album and a lot of hits! The bluesy rock gets me

Legends. This was incredible

Get high with a little help from my friends

A 3 star going on a 4.

Average early 90s rap

Really cool stuff and some funky covers

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce The Boss’ best album. One of the best albums of all time. Tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wasn’t bad at all!

This album was a lot of fun. I’d listen again

This was good but didn’t have a certified fresh banger

A very bland album

I mean, Prince is a music legend who also turned his name into a symbol

Fiiiiiiiire

Not bad

Early temptations were good but they got better for sure

Had this on in the background and it was a steady flow of good music through the post album shuffle

Cool

Thoroughly enjoyed this

Terrible

How can there such great music and classic songs on 1 album. Jimi was a beast

[Enter town here] ROCK CITY!

Not bad at all

Poetry in rap

Melancholy but good

This was great but I don’t think it’s his best.

iight

Fine background music

A little all over the place but not bad

Really fun

When surrounded by NWA and Snoop, Dre doesn’t hold up as much but still classic

just alright

(A Guitar) Stroke of genius

Modern classic

Still a legend but let’s forget about post 80s

There were just a few odd ones in here that felt off thematically with the other instrumental. But sunshine of your love is one of the best songs ever

I really enjoyed this

This is so quintessential 90s. Time machines are real

Really just don’t get the appeal here

Pretty great

Yacht rock to the fullest

Unsettling

Melodious yet shrill

No just no

Middling for Dylan but Make me feel your love has been covered in infinitum

Unfortunately can only listen to title track - fracking YouTube for the rest just wasn’t worth it

Pretty good

The beginnings

Croon Street

It’s so easy/nice listening to them

How do you rate an album when it’s the single that counts. Come on Eileen!

All over the place, kinda creepy in parts

Modern classic. Can’t deny t-swizzle’s a legend

It’s so cool to be back

No, just no

No sleep til….

Respect but this is not the high point of the 60s

Fine background music

Fine background music

Holy shit what a debut album. This is straight classic rock with the makings of early yacht rock. 5 STARS

I like the thematic album here

Meh

Ziggy

It wasn’t a hard days night listening to this album

Middling

Not bad

Somewhat enjoyable

So cliche

Without higher love what are we doing here

No just no

Meh

Not exactly their best

Light and fun

Rugged rock!

Funky but title track is gold

A bit haunting

Torture

An American band tryna sound like Brit pop

Simply the fact that every song on this album has been used as a sample for future songs shows how impactful this is

The weakest of his albums

Great but meh

Take on me should have been a single

I need more jazz samba in my life

Eh

Completely forgettable

Southern Gods

Proto punk

Friend of the devil and truckin live rent free in this head

Get on Spotify. Otherwise pretty good.

Pretty good somewhat haunting

Hello from the other side

60s fun

It’s actually called “The Beatles”

Had its moments

Slight groove

No

Oof

A little funky a little crazy

Rustic Bruuuuuuuuuce

Taking it easy listening to this one

This just gets me amped

Nope

Not bad - a little saccharine

Hate to say it but this was not good

Owning the game ever since this album

Just alright. They’re no oasis that’s for sure.

Not bad. Shoulda had more albums like this

The 60s wrapped up in Jim Morrison lyrics

A bit haunting

Is it me or does he sound like Rod Stewart?

Could barely get thru it

A lot of fun! A lot of different types of sounds and compositions within

Poet

Go bang your mom dude

This was tough to get into

There’s just something about this that rubs me the wrong way

Groovy tunes man

Unreal

No thanks

Neu no!

What I imagined

Some of these are hits but they all sound the same

The single was everywhere!

A classic especially if I could listen to all of the songs

The invention of heroin?

2 times 2 times!

What would we do w.o EW&F

They are great.

A lot of fun

Literally no idea what I listened to

Classic aughts vibe

Legends even if I don’t know all these songs

Ralph Nader line FTW

It’s a Rock Opera!

Simply no

Not what I expected

Classics

Harry Rag

The worst kind of relentless album

Felt like I was in a 90s teen movie with this one

He’s a master

Fine proto punk

Here we go galaxy here we go! 👏👏 Slappa da bass, man

Not the dub house music I was hoping for

A lot of fun this album

Meh on this one

Too soon!

Not bad not bad

I hate randy newman

This was a really fun album

It’s a bittersweet symphony

Fine 60s

Officially a daft punk fan

Not bad

The good stuff

Metal baby!

A classic

A classic

No just no thank you

Why

I love three song albums

RHCP FTW

Light pulp

No bueno

Burt bacharachs writing and Linda’s voice

Im sorry but new millennium Bowie isn’t great

The music is good the guy not so much

Started off strong than petered out

Meh

The 90s are alive in 2007

It grooved at times

Yeehaw

Hallelujah tho

Insert pulp fiction quote here

It would be so nice!

Not really my thing

Ehhh

No more kraftwerk pls

Not bad not bad

Covers so good they feel like originals

One helluva ride

Unleash the lion!

All that angst

Hard to listen but great name

Couldn’t even make it thru

LEGENDARY

Couldn’t even make it thru

iight

Giant of giants

Mish mosh

Chantuesse

Ehh

Was a good day listening

Funky

I’d go to prison for a Johnny Cash concert

Could not get thru

No

Alright

Classic

If this isn’t a certified 5 star album I don’t know what is

Solid stuff

The Beatles made this shit better

Great effort but not there best

Ehhhhh

Hard to listen to

French metal is cray

RIP to a legend

Really boring

Really fun live album

There are Rock Gods and Rock Legends but these 4 are more. LZIV is the holy grail. No one else can achieve this.

Ain’t nothing to fuck with

Too bootylicious!

Groovy tunes

Fun and I know that one song

It would be nice, if I could touch your body. No, not just anybody.

Don’t break up with Alanis

Ehhhhhh

Damnnn Ice T goes hard

Had to stop listening

No no no no please no

This woke me up

A classic.

RIP to the goat. In the end, it does matter!!!

A bit boring but still good

Dream of it

This was really fucking good

Good background music

Certified Fresh

The 00s wouldn’t be the same without 50

Id listen to this movie all day

Super fun!

I mean, cmon.

RIP LIV

Couldn’t finish

Here we are now on the south side

Huey Lewis called - you have his schtick

Bring back the 90s

Couldn’t hear the whole album but I liked what was avail

Jazzzzzy

Can you say epic? George Harrison is literally the master.

Super fun

A lot of talking

Didn’t meet the height of Brit rock

This was peak American 60s pop rock and it rocks
