1001 Albums Summary

I listen to this album a couple times a year. Great album to start with! Upbeat and classic.

I had this album in regular rotation back in high school but it's been a couple decades since I've listened to it. Today is now a jazz day and I'm listening to all sorts of old favorites

Sad I missed this band growing up. This was my first time listening to this album. It's beautiful but I think it's a little too '90s for me to really get into now

I've heard most of these songs individually but never together. I'm not a fan.

First time I've heard of this band! I like it.

Solid music, not my style

Quality. I remember this well from parties at college

I feel like an old person saying this album gave me a headache but I was 14 when it came out. It seems so repetitive, with its only saving grace being familiarity.

I should listen to this more. Enjoyed the album thoroughly

Perfect

It's a shame to give it a bad rating because the music style is great but I cannot handle the singer's voice

Perfect

Whiny, annoying. Although I did like some hipster music from that era, I never understood the draw of this band.

I'm a fan, but this album is not one of my favorites

Bizarre

Great. I can see how this influenced today's artists. Not very catchy to me

Glad I listened

Lovely, and in the style of good '60s music the lyrics are painful (in a good way)

There is this quality to this album that makes it great rap even after 25 years. I think it's how many collaborators are on it

Lovely. I'll have to pull this out again

Discordant. I didn't know that Pink Floyd went back this far

Smooth, sexy.

Solid, great music

Beautiful voice, not always my favorite music

I can't handle the voice

I can't believe I've never heard this album before! This is going in my regular rotation

I love the references to pagers and watching Arsenio Hall on channel 9

Her voice keeps switching from annoying to beautiful

I purchased the CD when it came out and was disappointed at how chill it was. I can appreciate it a lot more now but I think Beck is better when he is more funky

I love the Who. I hate live albums. The sound quality is awful even though this is one of the best albums.

Sounds like a modern hipster band

The songs are fine, I just can't stand his voice

I can appreciate this album as much now as on my first listen when I was six years old. It isn't subtle. It is still brilliant.

Fun. Never heard of the band before

Quality music, not my style

Another album I wish I had heard back in the '90s

Some great songs but the rest was too esoteric for me

One of my favorites

Pretty darn good, especially for an album I've never heard of before

Decent jazz album

A very specific sound but also mostly fun

The rest of the songs are almost as good as the song The Weight

I've never heard of it, it's inoffensive, didn't blow me away

Another new-to-me artist. I think I would have been blown away in the nineties, but now it's okay.

Super interesting! I'm still not sure if I enjoyed it but I'll give it more listens later on

There is a song on here that I sang in choir and I thought it was something way more lame than the beatles

Too much distortion, it hurts my brain

I like Fugazi but this album just sounded like noise

First listen of that album but I know Morrissey well. He didn't ever change his style, did he?

Some great songs, some not so great songs. But I can't bear to give Queen less than four stars

Nails on a chalkboard

Surprising because I'm a fan of the later pop selections from Aerosmith, but this album was not enjoyable

I usually just think of them as classic rock but I was really blown away listening to the whole album together

surprisingly pleasant for music that is not my style

One of those albums I put on and then a half hour later remember I'm listening to music. Entirely inoffensive, but I'm not seeing the art.

I don't get why this is good

I've tried this album a couple times and still can't tell if I like it

The least good of a great discography

Oh the memories

Not my style but I can see how it's good

can't believe I'm giving a live album this high of a rating

Pretty good, eclectic album. Weird that the only song from it I know was a pop hit

Not their strongest album - odd that it's on this list. But it's hard to go wrong with the Pixies.

Not my style of music but I actually listened and I can see why some would consider it great

Aside from the misogyny, this album is just about perfect

Way to chill for most situations but it is a very good album

One of my all time favorites

I had only ever heard the song "pale blue eyes" on many mixed tapes - the rest of their music I only knew with Nico. Much better without her.

It's a genre I like so I want to give it 3 stars but it's seriously so annoying I can't

Solid. All good songs

Only one fantastic song but the whole album is pretty good

If he only had a better voice

Interesting. Worth a full listen a couple times

I'm glad I listened to the whole album; I would never have known there were Springsteen songs I could tolerate well. Some I would swear weren't him.

I don't like the song Sweet Dreams so I was shocked that I love the rest of the music on this album!

Always a classic

Surprised I disliked this. It was annoying with the sliding, drunk-sounding voice

I listened four times through. Really great.

One of the best albums, musically, lyrically, and vocally, I've ever heard

Sounded generic on first listen but I really liked it after the second

If give them another listen! Pretty good but nothing caught me

Not my style at all but so beautiful I'll revisit it for sure!

I could give it another try but I'm not feeling it. I could see myself really liking it if I fist heard it as a teenager

Fantastic that they fit a whole album into 15 minutes. of all the hardcore punk I've seen this is some of the more enjoyable.

really, not bad. I can tell why she has so many fans. It's just too slow and not electronic enough for me

So grating, and I can't find the greatness

A bit too weird modern jazz for me

Motorhead is good. Live albums are not.

I really should have owned this cassette, damn

Funky, smooth, and lots of social commentary about drugs.

It's impressive when I already know most of the songs on an album. Odd that there are so many repeats made of different versions of songs on two discs, but also lots of other odd choices that made it stand out.

It was gibberish. Not uncomfortable to listen to, and I get that he revolutionized hip hop and all, but I couldn't make it out.

Something something separate the art from the artist, I don't know what I would have rated this if I didn't know who the nazi is. Then again he talked about women as females after sending dick pics so maybe it deserves two stars? Listened to the whole thing, props to me.

Musically fantastic, vocally grating

Too much repetition and electric beat for me in general, though by the Erasure-like song Sometimes it gets more melodic and I started grooving.

I had read about the xx and was excited to listen to dream pop. I heard fine electronica. Not much song to song distinction.

I don't know why I thought The The was in the '60's era of The Who. I'm a big fan of This Is the Day from Empire Records, and the rest of the album is pretty great. I'll give this lots of more listens.

With how much I admire the persona of Elton John, I really want to like his music more.

I listened to it on repeat for days

Great early country, if you like that. Surprised I haven't heard of her before.

Another one I just don't get. I want to feel inspired by the Celtic poetry, the starving artist beauty that so many hear, but I hear a slightly annoying guy in a cheezy bar in Vegas. It's surely an interesting follow up to Brown Eyed Girl.

Refreshing when you know the first banger of a song and the entire album continues in that groove

Really underimpressive from the Velvet Underground guy. I'm reading all of these as bland background songs I had to keep reminding myself to listen to

grateful it was so short. I'm grateful for the nineties but not this voice, sadly

So little instrumentation and effort can make my shoulders go up to my ears from how awful the songs make me feel inside, but it's also not bad, it's just drivel with a droning voice

People are always surprised when there is a breakout artist from a boy band or a girl group, not realizing that they are real artists in themselves. This album is when The Monkees were finally able to write their own shit and it shows

I'd never heard of this album, artist, or the main song before, and man what I had missed out on. Glad to listen now.

Folksy, seems pretty socially justicy which i like but I still don't enjoy folk music

If I had this album when I was a pre-teen I would have devoured it. Great American stuff, glad to have realized I really only know Pet Sounds.

If I didn't just listen to Low it probably would have a four. Not bad, not great

The organ is spectacular.

Fun new wave, a bit cheesy

Really fun groovy stuff, sounds like they had a blast while making it

Amazing that I've been hearing these songs for over forty years and that first one can still make me cry. The percussion and instrumentals on Cecelia are delightful. Each time I order a lager I sing "I'd rather be a lager than an ale" to the tune of El Condor Pasa. The range on this album is impressive as hell. I love how many songs are quiet with only guitar, some have choir backing vocals, some have horns or flutes, and each fit the song perfectly, and the songs flow together in an album so well

This brings me back. A full listen and I was surprised at how much of the album I know, never having owned it. College houseparties screaming about 'fuck the norm', but listening now the music phrasing is sick as hell.

It's hard to be objective about an album whose cassette I owned and whose songs belonged on a third of all my mixed tapes. Perfect road trip album

Hometown pride (Go Bills!) will never be enough to get me to understand this damn band

I recognize how important this album is, and I finished it. I don't like electronic music.

Repetitive, bad use of instruments and vocals, but so much freaking fun. Great energy and lyrics

In the nineties I called his music cheesy. Listening today I'm in a total groove, though I haven't heard most of these songs before. I am very pleasantly surprised

Aside from the bad covers, chill music

A concept album that works. Creepy as hell, though if you put his albums in order the next song that comes up is "nazi rock"... his songs fit this perfect mood and this album does the thing an album is supposed to do. it takes me on a journey, and before I knew the lyrics I felt really good about the journey.

Beautiful songs, rocking album, can't stand his voice

Since I saw the album as a teenager, I have wished this was a lesbian power album. Even if the lyrics are about the singer loving an abusive guy, this album slaps.

Great album, especially on a US holiday. Feels patriotic.

Better than I was expecting but a double album?! Not fair.

I love Sam Cooke but live albums are rough

The worst parts about classic rock, men who think they can sing, and men who love classic rock. The least terrible part was the spoken word song

Damn, what a great album. Good example of a rough voice used perfectly. powerful lyrics, good songs, good flow, and an album that changed the game. Legit.

Nostolgia but bad? Don't know how it made the list

Really fun and fresh. Not their best, but some strong songs

I'm sad that China Girl was an Iggy Pop song that Bowie covered. I've always hated that song. Otherwise, this album slaps

This was my first listen. How remarkable, I need to remember to go back for more Kate Bush

A good groove, doesn't seem like the type of music you'd smash a guitar to now a days

One of my lesser favorites from this band. Village Green and others really tell a cohesive story, this is some cool songs slapped on an album. Still great songs

So I love me some heavy radio play pop music, I love a good movie song, I'm not against popular stuff. I just checked and I'm dissapointed the Spice Girls never made this list. But I've never once intentionally listened to a Coldplay song and I know 3/4 of these mediocre, sleep-mood songs. Are they just a more friendly radiohead? I'm so confused. Worst part is they are not bad enough to give a two.

I always think of I'm Not In Love as a Toadies song, it was fo funny to hear the original.

Gave it a couple tries over weeks, couldn't find the genius I was told was there but there were grooves

Back when I was doing warehouse raves in the '90s I sometimes went to the jungle room because that's where the cute guys danced. I never lasted longer than four songs. I genuinely mean no shade to this artist, I just can't handle the whole freaking genre.

A couple bangers (like A Fool), but the rest of the album isn't worth a second listen

I am glad I have grown into Janis Joplin. I was putting this album off because I have always found her voice grating, but now I see a deep soul and feeling. The songs are beautiful.

Great harmonies. Otherwise boring

boring '90s crap

I kept forgetting there was music playing. I've heard this album at a house party before so I don't need a re-listen, I am giving it a third star for how unoffensive it is

Double albums now get an automatic -1 star. I don't like that these songs and instruments are fun, good, quality, high-energy, and the untrained and rough voices take away from it so much.

I have no idea how these songs were so popular in Europe. Signed, an American '90s Spice Girls megafan

Even though it's new to me it's such a feeling of the '90s that I heard my partner and hid my snack because I was so convinced it was my mom

WTF? Nick Cave is great at something, and that is making fun murder ballads and looking mysterious with a full band. He is very bad at being emo and introspective. This is easily his worst album.

Surprising lack of hits for a Queen album. Still good

This one surprised me. It was boring and a little cheezy at first but it's got a lot of depth and gets lots of relistens.

When I first heard the Yeah Yeah Yeahs I was blown away. I heard them a lot a lot, and now I generally avoid them. I realized in listening to this album, I definitely avoid because of overexposure. They are so solid and I will come back to this band hard in a decade or so.

All the emotion. Incredible soundscapes and synth. Powerful

A good 15 years since I've heard the full album, it's still a banger

boring and annoying

I'm surprised that I didn't dislike listening to this folk music. Almost a point off for the live songs at the end, but the studio recordings were pretty chill

At first sound, I was excited and wanted to give it a five. Then I heard some racial lyrics so I read a blurb that said it was politically reactive to Thatcher and got excited again. Then I paid attention to the lyrics as the songs went on and I gotta say when I do that the mysogyny always lets me down

I have never liked Tom Waits voice, so it's a big surprise to give the first album of his I listened to a four. This guy is funny

fun

This was difficult to listen to critically because it kept leaking into the background. It definitely belongs on the list. I've heard far too much alt rock and too much of the poppy REM songs to see this for the first time, but it must have been magical. Now it's good.

He sounds like such a douche

I tried, I like other post-rock, but I don't get it.

All that sound that when it comes on the radio I change the channel

Pure surprise. This beauty is amazing.

Glad I checked it out

I really like r&b but this doesn't do it for me

Pretty sick

Funny

Blah classic rock

Unexpectedly beautiful

What's with all this shit britpop?

I know it's a controversial opinion that one should enjoy the music that is worth hearing. I can't enjoy the vocals or the music on this one.

If I could cherry pick a few songs the score might double

I gave this more of a fair shot than I might have otherwise because I have a good friend named Roni. I still dislike drum and bass, but this band does it real well

Pretty chill, great background music

I only knew the (perfect) first song, the rest is not as perfect but interesting

The first few seconds were great, I love Jobim, then Sinatra's stupid voice had to ruin everything

meh

Surprising, fun, glad I listened all the way through. This is now officially my favorite country album

Brilliant shit

The vocals are difficult to listen to, but the '90s rock is on point.

Voice as light as air. Songs sway like the breeze

Fantastic

I wanted to like it! It was more interesting than I was expecting, but I still really didn't like the sound. It was crunchy on the inside of my ears, it was very unpleasant. but an extra point for being interesting.

Much better sound quality than old blues, but awesome in its own right

I've heard this album Maybe dozens of times. I don't understand how some artists I love, admire this guy. He seems so College radio.

Haunting, heart wrenching, sweet, and timeless in a way that my partner guessed it was recorded in 2005

Starfish and Coffee is a banger. I enjoy Prince, with how much I loved him aesthetically I wish I enjoyed his music more.

Something special. It can be background music but it's the type that makes me stop and breathe and relax every so often.

Instead of sounding cool, it makes me feel cool from the outside in

Luck of the draw that I missed this cassette in the '90s, I would have memorized this album hard. There were even enough clean lyrics I could have sung them around my mom. I kept listening to Gang Starr after this and enjoyed their later stuff even more but this album does slap.

Solid as heck.

It wasn't good enough, there was too much of it, and Jimmy Page kidnapped a child and slept with her for two years, dumping her when she turned 16.

It hurts to give this a three because it's truly not good enough. But just fifteen years ago I had this album on repeat and I'm not a dumb person so there must be something to it.

I am glad for the impetus to listen to old Bowie! Some of the songs were really mind bending. I really enjoyed several listens through.

I do get down with Ornette Coleman on occasion and I have nothing against stochastic music. I do like some Captain Beefheart songs too. This album was a bit too Free Rock for me, the distortion was so constant I had to check my speakers a couple times. Although it had its moments it wasn't a winner.

Fresh sound, great beats, comprehensible lyrics. If I didn't understand the lyrics I might make this a favorite album, but the singers show grown men unable to handle basic emotion, and I see enough of that in my daily life.

Brilliant tones, voice, invigorating and relaxing music. I must revisit

Good, fun, rocking, and if I didn't go in blind knowing their later work it would get a higher score

Great artist, good album

Fun as hell

Aside from kidnapping a child, overrated.

Woah, this is my first never-heard-of-them-before five. I know the singer from the buzzcocks but these songs are much more like a well baked breakfast pastry than his previous band's wonderful Nick Tahoe's garbage plate songs

This album always is on the edge of that line for me - it is technically my jam, I love many of the artists in the supergroup, but together it sounds so damn CHEEZY

Really fun! Then you catch some of the lyrics

Separate the killer beats art from the awful lyrics artist. Lots of these albums with bad lyrics pass me by because they mumble but Dre annunciates how he will beat a woman if she talks back to him and how women are shit but hoes and tricks. It's tough because there's nostolgia but it's a painful listen

Really fun and not nearly as bad on my migraine as any of the electronic albums

I really feel like I should give it more of a chance but it fell so damn flat for me

I started thinking I had listened to this album and realized pretty quickly my sister had their greatest hits album instead. I have decided I like The Police much better than Sting. There are some bangers on here and the lyrics are way less creepy

At first try I had a migraine and it was awful. At second try I was high and it was heaven sent.

I tried.

Really smooth and interesting. Note in future for background jams

I loved the Easy Rider soudtrack growing up and I'm sad this didn't take me there. But some songs are worth a few more listens.

Solid. Can't understand a word

It's the '90s. nothing at all bad but nothing too stand out either. They are a great feeling

Fun as hell

Moody, crunchy, beautiful

It's fine, I'm glad they had their political say, there's a place for that today, but there's also a place for a lot of today's well rehersed final cuts to be on this old album. Glad our modern psych rock is much better.

Nah, I'm good.

Good, but I like his earlier stuff better

They are such stand up people so how does their music come across so douchey?

Disliked a bunch, and I wonder.. I think this is the only Morrissey solo album I didn't listen to when it came out. I think Nostalgia has a lot to do with my like of Morrissey

Catchy. Brings me back to hippie circles while traveling the country in the early '00s. I heard the guy is a real one, walked away from millions a few times because he won't do commercials

Smooth

Fun and inventive

Shock - I thought this was going to get a 4 or 5 because I went to high school in the late '90s but this album is whiny trash

Boring songs, annoying voice

Meh

90s were a trip. Glad I heard the non radio songs on this album, I didn't realize how damn moody the lyrics were (when I could understand them)

I find myself in a situation where I'm listening to Disco more than I'd like. This entire album seems to be disco that I genuinely like, so for genre I don't like this is a surprising rating

Fantastic, all time high, one of the best

Glad I listened, made me reavaluate the band

After dozens of listens in the background while clicking Excel in an office, I finally listened to the lyrics and cringed a bit. Music is still fantastic, voice could be better

not good. Don't go back.

Great beats and all but you'd think by 2006 Ghostface Killah would have less misogynistic lyrics

So the music - rhythm, melody, is magic. but thom york's voice is so uninspired it makes it a drag to listen to, like homework.

If all punk had organ, I'd love punk as a genre

yup

I know so many CCR songs. How can this album only have that song I know way better from Tina?

As a lover of metal, this band sucks ass. I feel ashamed for listening to this album.

I'm surprised again! Delightful band, great sound

Interesting, terrible, wonderful.

A couple great songs, some good musical elements, a great political message, a very whiny voice

Solid. Not my style but glad I gave it a listen.

So much fun. Great Ralph Nader shout out

Why do I have to listen to so many whining men?

Freaking brilliant rock and roll. The best album I've never heard before, and it will probably soon be my favorite album of the year

What my college self wouldn't give to know about this album in the early '00s

Come on, i know they can do better. What's this crap singing?

This was a rough one, where was popular Bowie in this album?

Don't know why I thought they sounded so different. New fave

Excellent start to finish. I only knew a couple songs but was captivated the whole time

Catchy, good mix of blusey and country, great songs to write parodies from

Fun, sweet, cute, but old

I'm adding a star because mad respect but this album is annoying as hell

How is it worse than my college wannabe-boyfriend's music and also the longest album I've seen to date?

I had to stop listening because he was ruining some of my favorite jazz standards

I think the better of the Elvises deserves a better writeup than this but I'm beat. The music deserves to be here, it's good, I like some of it.

Worth a few re-listens! I enjoy this more than most of the newer, more spa-friendly post-rock bands. Never heard of them before.

It's so hard to get over the annoying scream-whine of a voice, but everything else, especially the beautiful tones of the guitar, is pretty cool.

Great beats and lyrics

Simplicity evoking emotion: a PhD thesis

I only knew Frank Zappa as grizzled and old. I didn't know he was once young and wide-eyed!

It's fine? I somehow missed it when I was listening to its contemporaries, and I think there is a reason none of the music heads I knew in school or who worked at the music store showed me this band.

Interesting, ethereal, calming

Another whiny man backed up by subpar music

What this list is about, dude, brand new to me and rad as hell

I love jazz and I play the piano so this should be a shoe-in for me. Trouble with piano-only is that it's a percussion instrument. it's jarring, it puts me on the same level of system alertness as death metal but there's way more to pay attention to in death metal. bravo but not something I could enjoy

it's fine

This shit is wild, in a fun and good way.

Real good bar music. Fun jam.

Yesssss that's my boy

Hell yeah

A couple good songs, great vocals

Yeah

For something that's not my style, it's astounding

Surprisingly good. I think they somehow got muddled with another band in my head because these songs are great

I felt like I should give it a two since, you know, but this is absolute trash

Great synth, wish the vocals were less forced, I've heard it a hundred times so it's comfy

Fantastic

Yuk, I can only hear a gross child kidnapper and his close friends

Just lovely. Should have checked it out earlier.

it was fine, only annoying sometimes

Hell yeah. Nostalgia and also good adventure

First for me, great congo

It sounded like an album of Mr. Brightside but not catchy

Heaven

He's good but I don't like it

I tried, I even went to the good ratings and listened to the songs they said were the best, but this is pure misogynistic cheese. Out here making me hate cheese.

Great. Sweet, good songs with a lot of heart

Less good than I thought it would be. droning and cheesy.

Some good tracks, wtf is this cover art

Funky, fantastic voice, great but not my style.

I have enjoyed sitar. So why does this suck so bad to me?

He just seemed too sad to be in the studio or on key. Take a note from Nick Drake if you want to break my heart

Perfect Christmas album, just for an album made of black artists, Phil Spector has a big part.

Holy. Crap. This is so incredible how didn't i have this in my life before?!

joyous and interesting as hell

Some songs were banger, the rest were sadly white paint

Sometimes he's a whiny boy who can't get over PJ, sometimes he's the head of his odd little genre and banging out those murder ballads. This album swings from a one to a high four a few times

Sexy as hell

I know, I know, 90's hip hop is my jam but this shit gets on my nerves

Pure funk. the songs that aren't 10 minutes long have endless re-listen quality. the 10 minute songs are also awesome

Music is great, really hate the live music. Dunno how this album can be such a fail after the last one I got of his was so great

One highlight, it brought back some great memories of my high school friend Shannon. This was her favorite CD

dude I dunno this slaps so hard but sometimes the less smooth piano gets makes me feel like a kid at piano lessons. This is a me problem.

great vocals, and proficient at other stuff but all the elements just seem janky together

Hard to like music that gives me a migraine

it's so bizarre that I occasionally cringe at the lyrics because when they came out I was slack-jawed at their bravery. Subtlety is a young artist's game.

God save me from whiny men and mediocre music

I'm of two minds - Some of this was good! But I think this is the kind of music that isn't supposed to lose your focus and this very much lost my focus for most of the album, and it wasn't interesting enough for me to listen to again today. Maybe next year. Wild how popular it is in the UK and I'd never heard of even their top US single

Music in the background: fantastic. Singing: oh, man, if it were a different singer this could be my new favorite band.

I bought this CD when it came out, I liked the song 'Elevation' they were playing on the radio. I listened to it maybe four times. This relisten confirms I was right on the quality of the album

I'm all for Thin Lizzy - a multiracial multi-sides-of-the-troubles irish band, hell yeah. But a live album is not a good way to show them off

Brings me back to high school house parties! They are the best at doing music I don't enjoy!

Slop, over-self-important trash that hurts the inside of my head when it plays

Legit shocked, I thought I didn't like Todd Rundgren but this album (or the 3/4 that is psychedelic) is fantastic

I'd listen to modern folk rock if it sounded like this

The beats, the voice, the music, all perfection. '90s never had it so good

This led me to Abida Parveen who should be on this list! But this album was damn good - I found it beautiful and meditative.

My favorite type of album - not my genre, an album I never would have listened to, but absolute perfection. I'll never listen again but it was straight bangers and she should have changed her name to Carole Queen

Oh good, a whiny man but this time with *distortion*

Amazing from beginning to end, with my favorite banger that never took off, I Do Not Want This. But half the other songs got radio play and deserved it. Ugh today was a good day for this.

I mean, it's freaking cool. I've listened to his discography and it's one of the most fun.

Fun! I've never heard of them before, or any of their songs.

Trash, but inoffensive trash?

I'm uncultured. I should sit with this, listen ten more times and really feel it, but I'd rather give Doechii's newest another spin

Even the songs I've never heard before are amazing

Interesting, mostly pleasant, however after the first couple songs I kept forgetting I was listening to music

I don't know how they passed me by when I was young

Great organ, annoying vocals, decent songs

Around 2004, 2005 I said "not funny" to one of my music friends who was singing Kings of Leon but I thought was pretending to imitate a MR person. Now I can't hear this guy and not think he's putting on some bad embarrassing affectation

Can see why it's popular with some people. Some real miss songs. The hits didn't grab me. But pretty good all around

Clapton is talented, for sure, but the actual blues are way more fun to listen to

Annoying as hell

Brilliant - just one or two songs I have to skip because of my stupid migraine disorder. Such interesting songs and they really hold up

I wrote you off before, Rod Stewart, I didn't know your game. Some of your songs suck balls but you have a sex to your voice. I get it.

Live albums suck. I remember liking Grateful Dead more than any of the stuff in this album, so I'm not giving it a one, but if it were a band I'd never heard of I'd probably give it a one. silly of me.

I have heard this stupid damn pop punk album from the cars of so many terrible people I have known. Dunno if they are good people but screw that music

Some of these songs are amazing. Some in the second half were awful.

Excellent! I must try again soon!

This voice is otherworldly. One of these songs are top 500 songs of all time for me. If I liked the rest of the songs more I would listen to this album all the time, but sadly it's just an occasional look in awe like when I bike to Niagara Falls, no need to spend all my time there. Too many albums here are me looking at musical genius and wishing I liked it more.

This hit me like when I found out people from my high school were famous as adults. Like, this is the stuff playing in your high neighbor's garage in the '90s, it seems like mood music to me, and it's super hard to see it as its own art.

Made me sad that my migraine disorder made me skip some of the songs with the wailing guitar. pretty great sounds I used to revel in. The songs I could hear still slayed.

Shocked I've never heard this before. I would have eaten this up in my younger days. Pretty cool.

Always haunting and beautiful

I do love a Dylan song, and this collection is really good, but it's not one I listen to. It just doesn't have his magic. Fun listen though, topnotch harmonica, it's been awhile

Anytime I've heard a Springsteen song covered by someone else I've loved it but I hate his voice so goddamn much I can't bear it and I had to skip through this album ugh sorry

This was a nice listen. I forgot all the boyeeeeees, Public Enemy and Flava Flav was really fun. Great energy , great lyrics

Sweet keys

Fine. Could see where he was going with the music, but he didn't get there with the vocals.

Perfection. I did have this cassette stick in my 89 Geo Prism for the better part of a summer so I really got to appreciate it. The comedy matches the groove.

Unbelievable. I get 40 albums that make me want to quit and then I get something like this pure genious

Nothing offensive but I just hear a tinny grating annoying sound, and I'd rather silence.

All I can hear is adult rockstars kidnapping teenagers

It was fine. I feel like I need to give it more shots, likely in a chill environment where I'm high and want to relax.

Story time: this was one of my dad's vinyls but I wasn't allowed to touch it because my mom said it was satanic. I've got to ask both of them why, I'm guessing it's because of Santana's last name, though the cover can't help. Brilliant songs, he really knew how to cover and the organ and vocals and guitar are out of this world.

Hella interesting, sometimes amazing, occasionally bad (no. 9 is more boring than bad)

Brilliant, so many hits. Not my taste in places but I'm surprised an Elton John got this high, honestly.

I don't like EDM, to be fair?

Great, but I always change it when I hear Thom Yorke because I think the album has ended. Weird song in the middle of the album. Not my favorite of hers but I do really love the other ones

Very solid.

Brilliant, going on my favorites list.

Chiller than I was expecting, but also I think they found their vibe in their popular stuff

His voice gets under my skin and not in the way his song means. Songs are killer though

Cool and repeatable. I love that his daughter and son are in the band.

This is fine.

Not what I was expecting, I need to give this more listens for sure

Amazing music, the vocals are way too grating for my ears. I'm sure they are beautiful

I think I was able to like violin like three times, but all I can remember was from that one David Bryne song. If this didn't have a violin I'd give it a way higher score because the songs were super interesting but egads were my ears on fire

I was surprised the '80s song Money was a cover! Live albums suck. this wasn't his best showing

I'm not sure if it was because I was aware that it was a nazi album playing at me that made me not enjoy this, but I was surprised that I didn't enjoy this as much as I didn't.

Brilliant shit

It doesn't matter how good the lyrics are when the music is boring and the singer is whiny
