Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Pretty good, very Beatles-esque. Had a few songs that I swore I must have heard before, but I'm not sure where that could have possibly been.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

2/5

Outside of background music while doing something else, I don't see the appeal...

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

2/5

Dire Straits

3/5

The first half of this album was great, but then it sort of...got worse. I was a little disappointed by it, but it's still not bad.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Better than I thought it would be!

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Over too soon! Short, sweet, and classic!

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

Show Some Respect was a good track, but otherwise this album is not for me. I can maybe understand how it was somewhat revolutionary for it's time, but I can't ever see myself going out of my way to listen to this. The extended remixes in the remaster weren't really necessary: I couldn't really tell the difference from the original versions (but maybe a seasoned listener could!)

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

3/5

As expected. Maybe blasphemous, but not my jam!

Calenture

The Triffids

3/5

It was fine.

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

2/5

Boring. Not awful, though.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Honestly, this is pretty good! I like the funk, and skill is very on display here! Another short album, but that gives me more time to listen to other music!

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

2/5

It's for some reason not what I thought it would be, and exactly what I expected. I don't think I've ever actively listened to Radiohead before, and based on this, it will likely stay this way. I can't imagine a situation where I'd want to listen to this band: if I'm ever in the mood, Muse seems to do it better.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

2/5

This was so boring. Not for me.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

2/5

What on earth is this? Felt like I walked into a circus. A point for originality, though.

Faith

George Michael

2/5

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

1/5

Something about this really rubbed me the wrong way...the sounds in this album were just grating. Could not finish it.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

1/5

Absolutely not for me: I did finish it, though. Big dislike (though the last song wasn't terrible).

Iron Maiden

5/5

Great.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

2/5

Oh, only 5 songs. Oh, these are long! Not a terrible listen, but I would never choose to listen to this.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

3/5

Pretty good, but it slipped by quickly. Not sure if I'd ever recognize a song...maybe I should give this another listen.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Surprised by this one, honestly!

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Fine.

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

Fine.

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

MC Solaar

4/5

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

3/5

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

Laura Nyro

1/5

This was....horrible. I couldn't finish it.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

5/5

I was considering just skipping this, but there are actually some bangers that I recognized on here! Big Iron was already in my Saved Library, hilariously, and I had no idea that was this album. Very surprised at the quality of this album, give it a chance!

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

5/5

Great: loved it then, loved it now. I absolutely can see why they took off!

Adele

2/5

While she can sing, this was absolutely not my cup of tea.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

3/5

That first track was way too long and will haunt my dreams.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

The best way I can describe this album is that it makes me feel carsick without being in a car.

With The Beatles

Beatles

5/5

OK, THIS is why the band is so well regarded. I always thought I enjoyed them, but didn't think them as anything super spectacular. This is something special, however!

Tracy Chapman

2/5

I understand why this is important, but it's not for me.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

4/5

Surprisingly (to me) good! The unexpected cover song threw me and I had to double-check that it wasn't the original.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

2/5

Ugh, I've always disliked Linkin Park. ... After giving it a try, I still feel the same. I understand that this is an important album for many people as it serves as a sort of "intro" to a lot of genres, but outside of its impact, I just don't think it's good music. It's like how training wheels are useful on a bike, but no "good" bike has training wheels on them.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Largely forgettable middle, but great opener and finisher.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

This was way better than I thought it would be! I'm definitely going to be listening to this again.

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

3/5

Not bad. Very background music. Not sure why it's on this list, though.

Revolver

Beatles

3/5

Not as great as their others, but still OK.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

2/5

I expected more.

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen

1/5

noo-haw. could not finish.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

Not as bad as I thought this was going to be...I expected something more like Kid Rock, and I got something more like Queen.

The Slider

T. Rex

2/5

I like their sound, but they are extremely repetitive.

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

2/5

Quite boring. Why is this on here?

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

2/5

Not great. Again, no reason for this to be here. All these mediocre albums on here is why I gave up last time...

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

1/5

Honestly, not terrible, just terribly boring. It might just be bad luck that this came up after three boring albums in a row. Did not finish.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

5/5

Yeah, boyeeeeee! This is what I'm talking about! Finally something good after that drought.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

5/5

Wow, surprised by this one! Brimful of Asha added to Liked Songs!

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

No.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

Blink and it's gone. Very whatever.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Not bad. Would likely listen to again.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

4/5

Wicked!

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

4/5

Had low expectations, but it really helped me focus on writing. So I guess it was good?

High Violet

The National

3/5

This was fine.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

3/5

Started off strong, but wow repetitive. It was fine. The first song is a cover, on top of that!

American Pie

Don McLean

4/5

American Pie was great. Babylon was also kind good. The album was never worse than medium.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

I was just about to give up on this album, but This Is Love was decent. I'm rating it 2, even though it's more like a 2.5.

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

This feels like a crime, but...honestly it was just OK.

Pump

Aerosmith

1/5

Wow, I did not expect to hate this SO MUCH. Couldn't finish it.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

This was fine.

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

2/5

Boring, but otherwise mostly not bad.

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

As a whole, it's OK, but a couple of tracks like The Killing Moon are great!

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Did not like the first half, but the last few tracks sort of grew on me (specifically, Of Moons, Birds & Monsters).

Justified

Justin Timberlake

1/5

While Cry Me a River is a classic, this is honestly pretty bad. Did not finish.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

3/5

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

For some reason, not too offensive? I would never ever choose to listen to this though.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

Perfect

Dog Man Star

Suede

2/5

Very boring, but not awful.

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

I always forget how hard they can rock.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

2/5

Feels like a worse version of many bands that already exist. Not absolutely terrible, but I did not finish.

Let It Be

The Replacements

1/5

Not good. Almost finished it, but it's just not good.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

1/5

Only let this finish because I was too busy to change the album.

Orbital 2

Orbital

2/5

Strange, but not bad. Would never choose to listen to this, though.
