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

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

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

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

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

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

Less hard than I would have imagined for Iron Maiden tbh

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

Beautiful voice with some familiar tunes that I hadn't really known well before

Nothing particularly notable, but not objectively bad. 3.5

Really enjoyed The Band even prior to listening to this. Great album here. Was shocked to look at their discography and see that Atlantic City was 24 years after this first full-length album of theirs!

I like it but it all sounds pretty similar, not much range.

Fine

Less high energy than I expected, but a pleasant background listen. 3.5

This album was shockingly awesome

Typically beautiful that I expect from PF. Interesting how the first and last tracks were done to be one long track but also like 4 songs in one?

The album is overall a solid listen but nothing really stood out to me, aside from the bigger hits. 3.5

80s synth-y with a bit of an ominous, brooding, vibe at times. Nothing to write home about for me, but a simple enjoyability. 3.5

Gave me White Stripes vibes. I actually enjoyed quite a bit considering it was so random and unknown. 4.5

Missy created a classic album with this one!

Brings back memories of translating his songs in French class. It's a good vibe for music, even if I don't understand most of what is being said!

I just love Van's voice so much

Really loved the sound of this

Nothing notable

Loved as expected

It’s such a peaceful album, for better or worse

Nothing particularly good or bad here. Just a pleasant listen

There's a little something to the Stones that I just don't quite love the same way I love a lot of other classic rock artists. Great overall album but falls short of excellent for me. 4.5

Had some Deep Purple kinda vibes (I think, that's the first artist that comes to mind.)

Just easy listening and smooth. Enjoyable.

Has that good sorta edgy punk feel that at times seems Brit punk to me.

Kinda croony and melodic

Yea, no. This is the extreme shit I just can't listen to. Let it get about halfway through the album and called it. Hard pass.

Punk rock vibes without any aspect that really stood out to me. Just fine.

I kept thinking this was The Cure and waiting for a song I knew. Then the album finished and Spotify played one and I thought it was the same artist still. 3.5

Kinda chill folksy feels. Pleasant.

Reminds me of middle school

Good vibes

Voice and vibe of this album reminds me of the Dead actually. Groovy dad rock, as Wilco does

I have always loved this album so much

Muse all sounds similar to me. I like it but nothing stands out much

I always forget that they're Blister in the Sun. The rest is nice too

Grunge rock, pretty standard sound for the genre/era. Solid but nothing caught my ear

Pleasant listen

Unremarkable but a good listen

Really fun album, very unique sound that was still distinctly Metallica

Soulful, impassioned. 4.5

Nothing but good listening here. Love Paul Simon

Just what I expected with some good vibes that were new to me.

Great, start to finish. Final track on Spotify isn't one I'd heard before though. Extended?

Exactly what I'd expect from Muddy Waters. I won't listen to this often, but it's a vibe.

I swear every time I listen to The Kinks they remind me of a trippier versions of The Beatles

Every song sounds like it belongs in a 90's teen movie. 3.5

Man, this album is full of all the hits from LS!

It's typical Marley, good but not my usual type of stuff

It's a little upbeat and fun, but I don't find anything about it to be particularly great. Just good. 3.5

A bit off beat and groovy. Jam band-esque in some ways. I could listen in the background again easily.

Gave me some Smashing Pumpkins feel at times.

Honestly, this is pretty boring for the most part. Who would ever actually dance to Joy Division?

Had a west coast feel to it, a bit groovy, with some times that felt like block party jamming. Pretty chill for the most part.

This album is just so chill and ethereal from start to finish

Always a fan of breaking out the Led

Kinda peppy new wave electronic vibes with some east coast rap blended in at times. 3.5

Oh hey, it's that song from the Geico commercials! Kinda far out trippy melodic electronic. Pleasant.

Honestly sounds like most Radiohead to me. Just melodic and a bit somber, perfectly good but never noteworthy to me. Maybe if I listened with more intention to the lyrics, but that's not how I'm doing this project. 3.5

Bowie through and through. 4.5

This is weirdly a lot like Bowie, which was my album right before this. Sort of a brooding, melodramatic, alt-rock

Kinda groovy and jam-y. Pretty fun listen.

It's such a mellow album. Really like their chill energy

Soulful and kinda groovy. Surprisingly great. 4.5

Reminds me of some different voices / groups of classic rock. Simple voice. 3.5

Smooth and soulful. Would be a great record.

Brooding and melodic. Very 80s. 4.5

Just so groovy and fun

Every album has that groovy rock and roll twang that Dire Straits perfected

Just good vibes

Has a lot more rock than I normally associate with Jimi for some reason. And then one random song that sounded like The Beatles?

Grunge-y, overall just kind of a downer it felt like. Not my speed.

When I first saw Coldplay come up I rolled my eyes, but after listening I really enjoyed this album more than I thought. 4.5

Kinda generic dad rock that was didn't inspire any real feelings. 2.5

So many of these are great and were totally new to me! Particularly enjoyed Tell The Truth as a new-to-me tune.

Just all so smooth

I just really love the energy of Steve Winwood's voice, throughout this album and all of his music

A lot of this feels like re-made versions of Tainted Love with less catch

This is by far the worst album I've listened to in this project. This isn't music so much as it's ethereal mumbling and randomness. I can see why some might call it music, but I disagree. Wish I could give this a full 0.

Reggae kinda vibey. Chill but not what I particularly like. 3.5

Just easy listening smooth jazz. Makes me wish I were sitting back with a cocktail.

Pretty weird. Kinda Talking Heads like?

An electronic funk spin on what feels like east coast rap to me

Kinda trippy and foreboding

One of those 'wow I know a lot of this' kind of albums. I guess I kinda really like DD?!

One thing I always appreciate about The Beatles is how succinct each song is and how clear it is when a new song starts. 4.5

Celtic-esque and passionate crooning. Pretty pleasant listen overall, if far from my normal listen.

I really like ABBA - even went to their museum in October - but I just don't love ABBA. 4.5

Sorta Clash-esque 80s Brit rock to my ears

The usual punk rock I'd expect from the Sex Pistols. Nothing I go crazy for but solid

Love Frank, this album is particularly smooth and easy

Tres bien! Je peut entendre cette disque longtemps

Eh, I can see the appeal to some but really just not for me outside of a few glimmers of a fun vibe

I had no idea this album was so old. A lot of really good tracks here

Angsty femme rock. Just okay IMO 3.5

There's a passion in her voice that I like. Also shout out to what appears to be the inspiration for some Lion King songs?

Beautiful voice. Passionate.

Now this ABBA album I did love

Gritty and vibrant. Such a soulful voice.

Emotional, kinda brooding. I don't dislike it but I don't particularly enjoy it either. 3.5

Not really my jam. Kind of hard punk Brit rock towards the end

Indie, emotional. Simple but pleasant instrumentals. Her voice is raspy. 3.5

Reminded me of a grungier Rolling Stones in some ways? Or maybe I'm thinking more Led Zepplin? Idk, can't put a finger on it right now but it had a familiar enough vibe.

Idk, it's Radiohead. It's somber and crooning and I'm sure there's a depth there that I just don't really resonate with... but it's fine. 3.5

Very chill, vibin', rap

Ethereal and brooding. 3.5

The whole album gives rock opera vibes. 4.5

Clangy guitar and peculiar lyrics and vibe. It's just all a bit weird, but in line with the time. 3.5 for me

He's got such a soothing voice, but really nothing about this spoke to me outside of Call Me Al.

The whole album has the same vibe as Come On Eileen, not sure why more of their music never broke through. 4.5

Kind of a plain, mellow, 90's grunge vibe.

A little obscure. Has a slight Indian twang to it that reminded me of that style but more ethereal and out there. It was fine for background listening. 2.5

Sounds quintessentially 80's

Has some moments that feel very Beatles adjacent to me. Overall a good listen, think I heard this album about 6 months ago previously randomly. Good stuff

A few classics and a mix of other stuff that lives up to their earlier, somewhat 'softer' sound to me. 4.5

80's as fuck. Synthetic feeling. 3.5

Oddball, groovy punk sound.

Quite enjoyable for a band I've literally never heard of. Singer gave me some Rod Stewart vibes I think?

The difference when Neil sings is wild. The band still sounded the same musically but his voice is just vastly different. I think I prefer when the other three are more prominent though!

It's just Nirvana live. I don't prefer recorded live music, so it's just like listening to Nirvana to me, but worse... 4.5

Soulful and some groovy to it. Loved this

Learned a lot about Living Colour today, mainly that they have other songs that I like. 4.5

Unlike any of the new Arctic Monkeys stuff I've heard. Has an almost Sublime vibe?

It's The Stones but in a more subdued way. You can tell it's their very early stuff. Sounds and feels like them but punches lighter to me

Just so fun and groovy. Beautiful rich vocals too

Classic East coast flow. Pretty laid back. 4.5

Reminds me of Missy Higgins' voice. Fine but nothing to write home about for me. 3.5

It's just a whole album of sounds, a little funky and groovy. Doesn't really do much for me though.

She's got such a beautiful and soothing voice

Yea, I love this album for sure

Little bit of twang to this, a pretty enjoyable listen

Haunted Dancehall seems pretty spot on for what this album is. It's a lot of jangly eccentric tones strung together with just enough rhythm to sound like music. But it's overall just kinda bizarre and almost eerie at times.

Classic late 80s early 90s country sound. Easy to forget about Dwight but he had some great stuff

What a voice!

It was fine. 3.5

Has a vibe very in line with CSNY, a little more edgy and rock like than I picture from them. Segued perfectly into more of my favorite era of classic rock on Spotify too!

Ethereal and a little annoying to listen to tbh

I just really love Rod Stewart's voice

Excellent album

The back half of this album seemed a lot more electro than the first to me. Preferred the first half by a good bit.

Really the album is good but the incredible intro really does the rest of the album in because the rest falls short of that. 4.5

Honestly, it just sounds too much like they're jamming the instruments and not playing? Really unsure but the whole album left me un-enthused.

I vibe more with the big songs for sure, but I don't dislike the rest of it either

The whole album is just a good vibing flow.

The lead singer from Arctic Monkeys is apparent. The sounds are very similar also. Peppy at times and eerie at other times.

Really a funky kinda groovy thing for the most part. Kinda fun. 3.5

Really reminded me of a Jim Croce vibe in the first half. Second half of the album was a bit peppier and more groovy almost. Had a few I really was bouncing too. Almost a 5 for me

Such a passionate and soulful voice

Had a little bit of a Bowie vibe I thought. A fun little upbeat listen without anything that really made me excited either. 4.5

I enjoy R.E.M. songs, but to some extent they do all sound the same to me. This is largely due to the vocalist being so distinct I think. It's a little fun and peppy for most of the album. 4.5

Hate Kanye but this was one of the best of its time...

Shocked at how low some of the play counts are on this album. Classic old-timeycountry here!

Hard to pin down how I felt about this one. Kinda Clash-y at times, maybe some The Doors sound too at times. Overall, fine but nothing great to me.

Pleasant listen but nothing earth shattering. 3.5

A perfectly unoffensive and otherwise fine album. Just... boring mostly. 3.5

Enjoyable and easy to listen to, even if it doesn't really interest me particularly. 3.5

Great, classic old school Snoop. Just lacks a bit of something for me to call it a 5. 4.5

Beautiful. And it has that crackle you love to hear from records of that era

Hard to argue with Cash, and this is one of the few times I've actually really liked a live album. The reprise was fun to listen to, hearing the crowd and Johnny talking to them. Great stuff!

So many really great tracks on this album!

Gave me 80's Brit pop vibes for sure. Had some kick to it

Just generally quirky and peculiar. Not bad, just... fine

It's Marley through and through.

Melodic and mellow. 3.5

Kinda somber and smooth. 3.5

Eh, idk, it wasn't bad but it was fine.

It's very aggressively punk. It's just take it or leave it for me.

Love his voice. The music doesn't always hit perfecy notes for me, but it's overall very good. 4.5

It's just a mellow but almost weird vibe. Not unpleasant but certainly not my jam either.

Pretty standard sound for this era of punk, not edgy or too upbeat, but perfectly ok. 3.5

Indifferent towards this one. Nothing particularly notable to me.

They're so easy to listen to and I love the lead vocals. 4.5

A little bit of a psychedelic synthy kinda vibe. Pretty mid for me. 3.5

Groovy and a little funky. Just fine. 3.5

Really beautiful and mellow. Highly enjoyable to listen to. 4.5

Groovy and upbeat. Fun listen!

Perfectly ok to listen to

Pretty fun listen even aside from Take On Me.

I'm so used to hearing live Dead recordings that this took me by surprise for how crisp it is.

Groovy and peppy. Vocals remind me of the Black Keys (heh) a little bit!

Damn, this was a vibe. Really dug this one

A very 70's vibe to it. It's got a smooth feel to it with a twangy, folksy kind of rock sound

Eh, not really a style I want to listen to but I could catch glimpses of why others would

I was digging that late 80's early 90's indie rock vibe... until Don't. WTF was that? 3.5

The whole album sounds the same to me. And that sound is James Bond movie theme song. 2.5

It has a distinctively weird and creepy vibe to it that feels like it matches perfectly with the artist, album title and artwork.

Talking Heads songs almost all sound the same to me, which is fortunately a groovy and fun vibe that I can get down with

Eh, nothing offensive or to dislike, just didn't like it much either. 3

Idk how TF Leonard Cohen has 4 albums on this list but they all sound the same to me and it's just plain boring

Has some moments (Harry Flowers especially) that remind me of a Final Fantasy soundtrack. Pretty chill background vibe music. 3.5

Pretty jam-band feel throughout most of this. Just a nice little groovy ditty

Kinda like he was just talking for large parts of the album? Generally a little odd but nothing really off-putting either. 2.5
