Reminded me a lot of a slightly worse Metallica

An album that I've probably only previously listened to once or twice, but love several songs form it. All-timer.

My vague knowledge of The Temptations remains vague, but now I know for sure that I love them

Listened to half of this. None of these were particularly special in any way.

Had to listen off of Spotify but the whole album was a treat!

I always forget there's CSN & CSNY. This is classic easy, chill, jamming music.

Had some moments where I vibed with it, but just not generally my preferred style. I can see why some love this though.

Such a beautiful voice. Great laid back background music. Will be adding this to my record collection someday.

Fantastic early-90s east-coast rap.

Always a fan of Ice Cube. Turns out I knew several of these songs already, but have just never listened to the album in its entirety.

Been a long time since I've listened to this one. Still got instant chills when the bells toll at the start of 'The Way I Am'. Forgot just how violent this album is though!

Never knew the song "Alright" was by them. Genuinely enjoyable album. A poppy-punk vibe. Great listening.

Had no clue what to expect with this one. Very 90s angsty rap feel. A couple songs I liked the vibe of, but not something I'd listen to regularly.

It's The Beatles. Classic album.

Just good pure rock.

Reminded me a lot of The Beatles in that quirky way. Very British sounding. Perfectly pleasant, if a bit odd, background music.

Interesting. Has some fun rhythm

Fine, if a bit weird. Not my speed.

Pleasant listening music but nothing I'd get excited for.

Couldn't get through more than the first half. Feel like it reminded me of the Clash? Idk, just not for me

An album that I've probably only previously listened to once or twice, but love several songs form it. All-timer.

Never heard anything but the Shaft theme by Hayes. Some really good background vibing tunes.

A bit 'whiny' at times I think? Not bad. (Wish I had actually written better notes right after I listened yesterday.)

Familiar British pop rock, a la the Beatles

So many classics that are simply fantastic.

Live music that's so well recorded and performed that you can barely tell. Classic!

Short but oh so sweet. Their voices are so calming.

Just so so beautiful. Will be buying this vinyl ASAP!

My vague knowledge of The Temptations remains vague, but now I know for sure that I love them

Testament to GNRs success that I knew most of this album just from the hits, but liked hearing some new things by them from this album.

Will never complain about a Metallica album, especially not this one.

Funky British rock

Classic good times vibes

What's not to love?

Bowie is great but this was just good to me.

Great NIN, but just not my typical speed.

This just doesn't sound like the PF that I grew up with at all! It's very Brit rock, a la The Kinks and Beatles. Immediately after the album finished Dark Side of the Moon played - much more what I think of for PF.

Their sound is very... sexual, for lack of a better term.

What I expect from Talking Heads pretty much. Solid.

Fantastic album! Live in a way that I really actually enjoyed too.

All of my existing favorites, plus a handful of others that are also bangers. Led to a great continuation by Spotify also.

Really nice! Another where I discovered - oh hey, he sings that song.

Really enjoyed way more than I thought I would!

This album slaps. Sir Elton don't miss!

Just such a naturally appealing voice.

Classic after classic.

More familiar with The Blueprint 2 prior to this, but still so good. (And H to the Izzo is the worst song on this album tbh.)

Great album but for all the hype that it typically gets I was a little underwhelmed on my latest listen.

Fun live set!

A perfectly fine album just a genre that's not my usual fav. Good listening music though.

Just kinda creepy sounding almost. Not a fan.

Perfectly good background music for a scene at a beach cabana.

Great album with a few exceptional songs.

La Grange is an all-timer and the rest of this album slaps alongside it!

Listened to half of this. None of these were particularly special in any way.

An underrated classic artist. Need to remember Waylon more!

Reminds me of The Pixies I think? Not bad for just a little offbeat uptempo rock.

Great listen

Probably good for what it is, but I just don't dig it.

Every track sounded the same. I tried to get through all 2+ hours but gave up a few tracks short of the end. It's perfectly good for what it is, but I don't care to have to listen to it again.

Fine country music.

Bowie always great. Favorite part about doing these albums is listening to things I haven't heard from greats like him.

Surprised by how good this was outside of the couple I already knew!

Very enjoyable, lots of new Who for me here.

Fucking funky and weird. Definitely 80s electronica?

The opening track being so long threw me but it really got my ears jumping at about 8 minutes in. Fun listen!

Good, led me down a nice path in Spotify after it finished. Better for that than the full album was but still enjoyable.

Kinda weird overall?

Veryyyy southern rock. Dig the political vibes to this also.

Chill vibes.

Pretty fun Brit rock feel.

Had to listen off of Spotify but the whole album was a treat!

Fun & upbeat. Reminded me a bit of some popular artists, one that comes to mind is Billy Joel.

Punky rock. Not something I'd listen to regularly, but nothing offensively bad.

Crooning.

Pretty nice little techy, almost electronica, vibes. Fun listen!

Funky piano, nice mostly peppy sound.

Pretty fun, groovy listen.

Will never cease to amaze me that Neil somehow manages to make his voice sound so good. All-time classic album.

Really enjoyed The Byrds. Fun and upbeat, a little funky. Great album.

Fun!

If you told me this was The Beatles I'd believe you.

Fine, not terrible, but not particularly good either. Just not for me.

Classic album.

Several great songs that I forgot about, a good reminder of how much I actually enjoy The Police.

All of their best, some of the non-popular stuff isn't as great, but still a classic album.

The Cure is always a bit odd sounding to me.

Just a bit odd, didn't mind it being foreign language though.

Pretty groovy, alt Brit rock vibes. I enjoyed!

Has it's moments of good, moments of odd. More like 3.5 to me.

Really pleasant listening album

Idk, just wasn't anything that caught my ear in a good or bad way.

Nice background music.

Pretty nice, chill, ambient background music.

This was pretty weird at first but then I kinda came around to it. Like a British Eminem who just talk raps.

Listened to about 3 songs from this. Fuck this Jesus music.

Good enough but not super memorable.

Have never really been 'on' the Radiohead train, but it's a good album

His voice is great and so is the music, but I just don't love this album.

Meh, kinda weird and crooning.

Such a fantastic album, always great

There's just something about this type of old-school rap that's so easy to listen to

So many classics that I often forget are Dire Straits

Surprisingly great album, even outside of This Year's Love

Never would have listened if it weren't for this 1001 albums, and I really enjoyed!

Really fun album! 4.5

Reminded me a lot of a slightly worse Metallica

Got through disc 1 and the start of disc 2 but boy it wasn't easy. What a weird band.

Pretty generically fine to listen to, nothing caught my ear, but provided good inoffensive background tunes.

Not as many of the hits that I love but still fueled my afternoon work nicely

A bit of a bizarre album, but enjoyed it a good bit.

Peppy, kinda funky, but fun.

Eh, idk, just a little too out there for me to really enjoy.

Love it.

Actually pretty enjoyable and I didn't immediately recognize the artist, but it sounds so familiar! Such a smooth voice. 4.5

These are all actually really great and catchy!

Crooning but in a way that I actually didn't mind? Melodic and smooth.

Very unmemorable. Nothing much to dislike, but nothing I particularly enjoyed either.

Ugh, just so good!

Happy vibes

Actually enjoyed the most listened to song the least, but the rest was solid

Love a lot of this album!

Goodish

Classics that you can listen to all the time.

Honestly, it all sounds the same to me.

Really fun listen. Peppy.

Chill alternative rock, a little bit peculiar, but generally a pleasant listen.

New York, I don't love you; always bringing me down

Easy 5, every time.

A bit of a weird vibe but pleasant background listening.

Great album!

So fun and upbeat! Felt like I was in a Latin club while working on the couch!

Enjoyed the last song the most. The rest was just smooth listening, uninteresting tunes.

3.5. All of this sounded like it should be a in a Matrix film

Eh, whatever, nothing caught my ears but it wasn't offensive to them either.

Not a 5, but not a 4 either. Idk, U2 is good but never stands out to me.

Classics that led into more amazing classics. Timeless!

Uninteresting but unoffensive.

Aside from Paper Planes, this album was a dud for me.

Beautiful voice. Nice to hear it outside of Fast Car for a change.

Pretty fun, good vibes and voice

Classics!

Really pleasant, smooth vocals.

Easy listening

Can’t put my finger on who it reminds me of but I like it

Kinda like a mix of ska and rap? Reminded me a little of like Atmosphere or 311? Enjoyed it.

Nothing bad just didn't really get into it.

Kinda has a funkier Rolling Stones vibe. Pretty solid

She's got a beautiful voice.

Love this album

Grunge at its finest

Groovy is an apt description for this album!

I don't listen to Beastie Boys nearly often enough.

A little trippy but chill to listen to while working.

Bangers

Upbeat, kinda fun

Reminded me of like 4 different bands smashed together. Not in a terrible way, I still enjoyed the music.

Like a mix of ska with rock and something almost psychedelic at times. Weird but fun.

Hell of a fun album. 4.5

Who doesn't love a little S&G?

Unremarkable.

Enjoyed the live half of this more than I typically do. Lots of classics, and of course got Pinball Wizard stuck in my head for hours after this.

A lot of TSP's songs sound very similar, so I typically don't realize just how many of them I really enjoy.

Idk, I just don't really get them

Didn't even have to listen to know this is a 5 for me (but I listened anyway.)

Had its moments. Reminded me of a couple different artists mashed together - maybe some overlapping members or influence? 3.5

It's the B-52's, but without arguably their top two songs. Solid album, nothing to turn your nose up at, just not a 5.

Meh

Always love older Metallica! And this came up on the 3-year anniversary of my last show of theirs!

Many of my favs on this album!

WTF did I just listen to?

I mean, he's fine. Soul Free was my favorite song, even above Freedom. 3.5

Good for background music at a restaurant or something, but not something I'd ever go out of my way to listen to

So beautiful

Surprised to see that so few of his songs are 'hits' given how famous he seems to be in my eyes.

A bit sing-songy

Very similar to like Rancid and The Ramones but without quite as much pep.

Pretty fun listen, had a good rhythm and vibe

Good, not great. Would listen again.

Peppy and fun at times, other times just kinda meh. 3.5

Had me in a west coast mood all day!

Great listen. I would like to listen to it a bit more focused with his guidance in mind from the opening track and middle, but the overall sound is so beautiful.

Fine

Reminds me a lot of the Beatles tbh

Outside of the one hit, I didn't vibe with much of this

Kinda middle of the road, not anything I'd listen to again but not bad. 3.5

Pretty techno-y, dug the vibe. Solid listen. 4.5

Nothing exceptional for me but I did enjoy the background listen. 3.5

A little like A Tribe Called Quest, felt like an east coast rap vibe to me, dug it.

A bit like The Pixies? Same vibe

This was very good. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen again, but it was really well done.

Meh. The sound is nice and the talent is there for someone who's more into this style. Just not me.

Nothing against The Mamas & The Papas, but I just don't want to listen to them often.

Signature Genesis sound without any that made me go 'oooooh'

Such an outstanding album

Low key and generally inoffensive, but not going to revisit ever. 3.5

Will always love Clapton - just need to separate the artist from the art sometimes

Reminded me a lot of MJ with a few other vibes thrown in.

Was surprised by how much of this I already knew and actually liked given that I'm not big on her music

Not a particularly big fan of this. Very weird stuff.

A lot of new Led for me b/c there are a ton of less popular songs on this album. All of them are fantastic.

Have heard this album praised before and this listen was good confirmation of that. Shocked I'd never listened before!

There were moments when my ears perked up and I was like 'damn this is some fun music' and then other times where it just felt weird. Solid and fun listen from a way out there band/album.

Kinda funky and odd electronic. Good background music. 3.5

A simple elegance to this album, easy listening, nothing fancy.

You could have told me this was the Matrix soundtrack and I'd have believed you. Not in a bad way, but not that great either. 3.5

A couple familiar tunes, but listening made me think of Hot Hot Heat. Throwback!

Interesting to see the different play counts on this album. Classic.

Groovy, fun listen. 4.5

All great. Surprising to see just how many listens Mr Blue Sky has compared to some of their other bops though.

Never heard Tusk before this. Loved it.

A bit on the bizarre sounding side, but it's upbeat and fun. Solidly 3.5+, so we'll call it a 4.

Brooding. Reminded me of the fake musical the guy writes in Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I'm sure there are reasons why other people love this album, I just don't see them personally.

Shocked I hadn't heard any of this before, but what a damn beautiful voice.

Not really my vibe, but I can understand where this gets some respect

Has to be a 5 everytime

Had a Lenny Kravitz or Prince kinda vibe.

There's just something about the way this sounds that's so pleasing to my ears

Having heard of this famous album, I never realized how it really was live at a prison. The small interluded comments about guards and prisoners were wild.

Fine but not my vibe

I don't love the whole album, but it's got plenty of parts to enjoy

Really good background working music, almost trance-y.

Duh.

Such a beautiful voice

Sounds like the 90s. 3.5

Always love this album

Really enjoyable listen, good vibes. 4.5

Her voice is just really unpleasant to me

Every song sounds like a less fun version of Once in a Lifetime. Just not my jam.

Generally a weird punk album

Eh, this had it's moments but not many. 3.5

One of my favs, lots of the non-hits on here that are still greats

Really an enjoyable album. Soulful and smooth.

Unbeatable voice

Even better on vinyl, one of the greats. (Despite how much Kanye sucks as a person.)

Could not finish this one.

Always a great listen. Voice is so purely amazing.

Classic, beautiful, Neil

All of their songs have the same upbeat vibe. Not a complaint.

Meh, idk, she's talented but I really couldn't care less.

Was surprisingly good. Reminded me of a few other artists, though now that I'm rating this a few days late I can't recall who they were. I think Bowie was one that came to mind?

Christmas tunes, they're always just fine

Beautiful, soulful, jazz.

First song, solid. The rest had their moments of pure WTF. 2.5

Just a vibe and a half. So good.

Fine, some moments I enjoyed. 3.5

I've never been a huge SOAD fan, more casual, but there are some tracks I really enjoy here.

Kinda funky (not like, funk music, just odd) but fine.

Shocked to see an album with so few listens show up in this list (per Spotify at least) but it was actually quite good. A strong flow with some strong highs, few real lows.

What?

So many under the radar hits

Had some moments that I thought it sounded like Smash Mouth? Overall, a smooth and relaxing vibe.

Knew Ryan Adams had something of a cult like following. Now I realize why. This was so so good.

Just fantastic, smooth, and enjoyable to listen to.

Punky, kinda fun and upbeat

Eh, not bad, just nothing that caught my attention either

I can see the wide-ranging appeal, but this wasn't overly fantastic for me.

One of my old favorites

Some new Queen for me, which I loved all of

Love S&G, such a peaceful and beautiful album

Kinda fucking weird, but I finished it. 2.5 cuz it had moments

Solid, had the vibe you expect from the era

Absolutely loved. Soulful, reminded me a bit of Leon Bridges for the vibe

Lots of good in here. Not a regular listen kind of album, but a really good one

Nice to hear Passin' Me By on here. Never knew who that was by. A generally chill west-coast vibes type album. 4.5

He's got a great voice, but I just don't think I'd ever listen to this recreationally

Just smooth and fun to listen to

Was hard to finish, very Afro-French inspired, just not my speed

So many tunes I just absolutely love!

Nothing notable, but standard chill jazz

Exactly what I expect from Depeche Mode tbh. Only a 3.5 for me though.

Kinda funky in a good way. Fun vibes.

Groovy, upbeat, fun

A really fun listen

Fine. 3.5

Eh

Too brooding for me to really like, but pleasant melody wise

A few of the classics, many others that I just don't hear very often. All great.

It's Radiohead as it is to be expected

Didn't expect the amount of just instrumentals in this.

Fucking weird but a little bit of a bop at times

Groovy. Pretty fun listen!

Beautiful

It's The Clash. Very good, but it does all tend to sound similar to me.

A classic that I always love revisiting

Had some reggae vibes at times. Mostly pretty okay

Lots of great songs in here. 4.5

Pretty good vibe. Beck isn't something I'd listen to of my own volition normally but really should change that. 4.5

Just a solid rock album even after School's Out

Fine

Talking Heads vibes? I think? Or maybe I'm confusing with Flaming Lips? Either way, pretty fun and upbeat but not my usual style. 3.5

Enjoyed a bit

Awesome album!

Upbeat rock, pretty good listen. Lives up to the band name!

His voice is beautiful but it just doesn't quite do it for me like it does for others.

Beautiful voice. 4.5

Dylan is great, but I do start to feel like the songs blend together

All-time great

Not particularly good or bad. 3.5

This is some real antebellum racist type shit. Who knew that the guy who sang 'You Got a Friend in Me' had such a shit past?

Have always loved them

All the vibes you expect from this era. Rap has changed so much since this

Not quite what I expected from her. Had an almost old-timey feel to it?

Smooth, good vibes

She's not my cup of tea but this isn't objectively bad music. 3.5

This is one of those albums I've always known of but never sat for a listen. I could stand to listen to this from start to finish with no distractions.

Pretty unremarkable but not bad. Know some other New Order stuff but this was all new to me I think. 3.5

I obviously knew We Are Family but the rest of this was pretty good too!

Nothing I would go back to. Thought they sounded like the band that sings Don't You Want Me until I got to the last track and realized that it was!

Old timey country in the best of ways. 4.5

The whole album was like a lesser version of Sweet Dreams. Like if you distilled it down and weakened the things that make Sweet Dreams such a great tune. 3.5

Generally perfectly enjoyable but nothing I'd be excited to listen to again. 3.5

He's The Boss for a reason~

Not my usual kind of stuff, but really liked this mix of grunge and metal, and the new to me songs

It's Bowie. It's great. But it's also not my favorite.

Stoner reggae at its finest. Nothing wrong with it, it's a pleasant mellow vibe. Just not what I want to hear.

Just don't vibe with them

I swear this was an album previously b/c I've heard it before I think... or maybe it was a different Kraftwerk?

Lots of great songs here that were brand new to me!

It's all Led to me. Which means some I love and others just sound the same. Idk, I guess it's a solid 4 for me

Exactly what I imagine this to sound like.

Beautiful background music

Moments of 'huh' and some of 'nice'

Sounds pretty good, easy listening background kind of music

4.5. Really good all around album, just not quite my fav

4.5. This is a fun album. Definitely didn't realize I knew this artist a little when it came up!

One of the few in this project that I have turned off before the end

Passionate in a soulful way

3.5. It's like a mix of The Beatles & some other Brit-pop types. Not my usual, but fine

Have loved this album since my bus driver played it on cassette in 4th grade

Perfectly fine

Memorable in the sense that I remember thinking this was perfectly fine, but I also don't remember what it sounds like very much at all. 3.5

Standard for what I think of being of this era. Sounds like a knockoff Beatles that I enjoy a good bit

Sounds more like The Ramones type Brit-punk than I usually think of from The Clash. (A good thing IMO.) 4.5

What I expect from them

Older punk rock but without quite the same pizazz that makes me love The Ramones and similar

Eh, idk, it's fine

Amazing renditions. Otis was so immensely talented!

Gold

Good, nothing particularly notable though

Kinda folksy Indi stuff. Not awful sounding but not my vibe. 2.5

Old school run. Doesn't have quite the same bite

How was one album so freaking good?

Beautiful from start to finish.

Most of the album isn't available on Spotify, but found a decent chunk on YT. Actually a really great voice, soothing and upbeat. New artist for me that I really enjoyed!

Chill, mostly piano-y vibes with a bit more eccentric stuff tossed in. 3.5

Has some fun pep to it at times

This album isn't what I usually think of from Bowie. Almost all of these songs could easily have been in FFVIII

Very 'Brit pop' esque. Perfectly fine. 3.5

I enjoyed but didn't love anything about it. Just all around a very easy and good listen.

Has some real bizarre moments but I found it to be a fun listen!

This album is great from start to finish. Such a listen

Had an eclectic mix of vibes. Overall nothing struck me that much but it was a pleasant listen. 3.5

Would indeed be great Latin dance music (just don't know exactly what style due to my own lack of knowledge there.) 3.5

It's just a good easy listen

Groovy bluesy vibes. Very enjoyable listen!

A bunch of the classics I love!

Just fine, I feel like it sounds like a lot of the music from the era and not really distinct to me.

Kinda funky vibe, but in a way that was pretty good I think

This entire album belongs in a Tony Hawk soundtrack. 3.5

Groovy, pretty upbeat and fun

Grungy like I expect from Alice in Chains. Mostly newer songs to me with a couple old classics I knew.

Beautiful

Not the usual enjoyment I get from this genre, but probably just because it is a touch less upbeat.

Opens with some bangers but really the later half of this album doesn't offer much to me. 3.5

All so good, probably like some of the less popular ones most too

Damn this was a great listen. I forget just how many great songs are in his collection, many of them on this album

Meh

Dug the vibe of this but it wasn't available on Spotify

Love the whole damn thing

It's easy to forget just how insanely good NY's guitar is, but this album really showcases it.

Kinda groovy. Good rhythm. 3.5

The last song was particularly moving, deep and passionate. As a whole the album is a laid back listen, a beautiful crooning voice (honestly reminds me of Alanis a bit maybe?)

Soooo many killer songs

Enjoyed hearing some of the off-the-beaten path Queen songs!

Pretty okay. Had some melodies I enjoyed intermixed with pleasant listening. 3.5

The feel of Deep Purple throughout, but almost completely new to me!

Eh, kinda just fine

The King! I just want to dance when I hear anything from Elvis

Had some moments that were a little Pink Floyd-esque in the vibe. A little psych-ey. Not my speed overall but can see the appeal to some.

Love me some Miles Davis

I kinda grew tired of LDR years ago, but this album had a lot of tracks I enjoyed

Some beautiful, iconic tunes in this album

Sounded to me like a mashup of a bunch of different artists and styles. All kinda fun at least

Really enjoyed this listen, and had no clue that they sang 'Stepping Stone'

It's Neil. It's great. Loved every second of this album - it's got a bit more rock than folk to it I feel.

Comes off to me like a mix of Beach Boys and Elvis. Upbeat and tickles the ears nicely

Not my usual go-to but this was solid throughout and had some moments that caught my ear

Fairly good but unremarkable. 3.5

Folksy vibe with a moody feel to it. Solid instrumentals for listening.

The vibe of all of these sounds similar to BSS, but less brooding and sad maybe. I'd listen again.

Kind of a mixed bag for me.

The amount of the album that was like straight answering machine recordings was bizarre. I get they were going for a story of sorts but it didn't work for a casual listener like myself

This is just a kooky album, especially a few of the tracks

Has that strong, edgy, East coast rap flow to it. Makes for a good background listen that still gets your head bobbing a little

Just a genuinely fun album - plus I love his Higher Ground

He's got a great voice but outside of the hits it kinda fell short for me

It's brooding in a way that I just don't enjoy. His voice also just is not great

I feel like he's got a way better voice than you ever really realize

Beautiful voice - had to listen on YT b/c half of the album was hidden on Spotify?

She really did have such a beautiful voice

Has a voice that reminds me a bit of Rod Stewart mixed with Led Zeppelin's lead. Guitar was definitely elite

Has a funky, Brit-pop kinda thing going on. Not bad. 3.5

Pretty much west coast rap as I expect. Really enjoyed the Body Count's rap hew. But still for me, east > west I think... 4.5

The vibe/sound of a lot of their songs is similar enough to me that I can't quite give this a 5. But I don't deny that this album is great (even if it is long af, hah) 4.5

Learned a lot about Rod Stewart last week. #1 thing I learned is that I just really love his voice. Faces was a new band to my consciousness, but I knew a couple of these tunes already.

A bit of a weird, funky, techy vibe.

Sounded like it belonged in The Matrix or a similar late 90's - early 2000's sci-fi type film. An overall fun listen.

Pretty standard but unremarkable classic rock feel

His voice is so soothing to me on any non-hyped up songs. A lot of this album is like that.

Pretty moody for my tastes

Can't go wrong with Sinatra, I love his music so much

Had a little less pep than I expect when I think of The Beach Boys

A bit melancholic in sound with a vibe that still sounds peppy? Also weirdly brooding in some ways. Just generally a bit odd.

Just a great vibin' album

Pretty ominous electronic ambient music. Every track seemed so similar. The eeriness of it was just too much, closed out with a couple tracks left. 2.5

Kinda soulful, old school country vibes. Really a nice listen.

Pretty great power rock vibes, highlighted by Walk of course. 4.5

Eh, not my bag.

I guess they're just not quite in my wheelhouse but they're not objectively bad.

It's all pretty similar, upbeat and poppy. 3.5

All of this is beautiful, such a voice. But I was surprised by the more up-beat, faster Smackwater Jack. Reminded me of Jim Croce's energy.

Really enjoyed this. Reminded me of Marty Robbins! Will seek out this on vinyl
