I give this 28 stars--one for each of his wives.

All of Frank’s music feels like Christmas, even if it’s not remotely related.

An entire album of songs that all managed to sound the exact same. And they sucked.

The South Park parody of this guy is shockingly accurate. “Naked Man” sounds like Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’s long-lost crackhead cousin.

Was this a joke? Did someone lose a bet? Surely there must be a logical explanation for whatever this was.

This is what Fiona Apple would sound like if she was twice as generic and half as talented.

First half was solid indie rock 4/5, second half was forgettable ballads 2/5.

All of Frank’s music feels like Christmas, even if it’s not remotely related.

Side A was excellent. Classic Soul. Side B was a bit dull and repetitive sounding.

I give this 28 stars--one for each of his wives.

Proof that simplicity does not mean something has to be dull or uninspiring.

I'd rather take a cheese grater to my eardrums than listen to this again.

Avant garde noise rock at its finest. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea and I totally get that.

The obvious answer for when someone asks what a 5/5 album sounds like. Never a dull moment and couldn't possibly be any better.

Slightly better than expected. Still didn’t like it though.

Feels like an intimate concert around a campfire with an old friend. Somehow it feels like he's performing just for you.

Neither good nor bad. Entirely forgettable.

Pure 80’s cheese...and not the good kind.

The mix was a bit rough, but I guess it fits the style.

The perfect New Wave album.

Wesley Willis found a new demo setting on his keyboard and collaborated with Jamie Stewart from Xiu Xiu on vocals. Both are artists I enjoy on their own, but would never want to hear a collaboration.

Went in completely blind with no expectations. I really enjoyed it and plan on looking deeper into his discography.

Yep, sounds like a Nirvana album.

Enjoyable listen, but not quite my style.

Excellent blend of jazz and rock. Overall very solid album even if it was a bit long and had a couple weaker tracks.

A slightly more interesting version of Nirvana.

Fairly boring elevator music that tends to get stuck in your head.

Started off really strong, then wasn't nearly as good. Still a fine album overall.

Very enjoyable. Raw and unfocused, but in a good way.

The taxi process to the runway at Charlotte Douglas was nearly as long as this album.

Lack of focus in genre and direction made it difficult to get through.

Musically it's quite good. Lyrically...I feel transgressed and violated.

Wow, where has this album been my whole life? Very fun and engaging with top tier musicianship. I think it has the potential to be in my top 10 albums, but I'll have to give it a few more listens. Definitely a major influence for Vampire Weekend.

Musically, I enjoyed the album. His voice however, continues to be a major reason why I don't regularly listen to his work.

Funky metal

I definitely appreciate the album for what it did for the future of rock music, however I rate albums based on my personal enjoyment rather than “how good” or “how prolific” I think they are which is why I can’t go higher.

Every time I listen to Krautrock, I think I need to listen to more of it. It's amazing how such an obscure sub genre had the influence it did on the future of rock.

I have a hard time taking it seriously, but it sure is fun. Vocals are horribly sibilant at times which can be an annoyance.

I’m a sucker for some good 60’s California psych.

I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was good.

Was this a joke? Did someone lose a bet? Surely there must be a logical explanation for whatever this was.

I’ve never given Oasis a fair chance due to the major meme that is Wonderwall. However, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the delightful Britpop on this album.

A fine rock album.

Not nearly as funky as I expected.

Some songs I moderately enjoyed, while others were horribly obnoxious. I still pray that there will never be a fourth wave of Ska.

An entire album of songs that all managed to sound the exact same. And they sucked.

Why haven’t I heard of this guy before?

If all country was like this, you could count me as a country fan.

A bit generic sounding, but that’s because they pioneered the sound. I guess that’s why it made the list.

Well that was an uncomfortable band name.

One of the albums that got me into electronic music. It proves that electronic music can be more than frat bro party bangers.

The first track was really promising, but the rest of it ended up pretty average.

Better than the other rap albums we've gotten so far, still not my thing though.

There were many points throughout the album where it was so close to being excellent, but it never quite hit the mark.

Vaguely familiar with some of their music. Classic 60s psych. A couple of less interesting songs on this album, but not enough to detract from the whole experience.

Cheesy.

Fun, entertaining, and a little insane. It doesn't at all sound like it was released in 1966.

It's a fine album, but I really don't see why it was included on the list.

The music is fine, but sweet Jesus he has an annoying voice. It’s like Bob Dylan went through a food processor.

I actually really enjoyed this one.

Ya like jazz?

Can’t say I knew about Madonna’s Trip Hop/IDM phase.

Soft rock can be just as fun as hard rock.

A fine pop album, just not quite my style.

Perfection. Nothing more need be said.

Fun album. I should really get more into The Kinks.

I really don't get all the hype behind this one.

Generic music, annoying vocals.

Nearly put me to sleep which is pretty bad considering I was driving. A lack of direction and focus really made it suffer.

Wow that was dreadfully boring and monotonous. The last song was the only redeeming quality.

Hair metal done right.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. I'm between a 4 and 5 on this, so I'll give it a 5 just because it significantly exceeded expectations.

Pretty standard vocal centric pop effort from the late 60s.

Not Can’s best album, but still fun nonetheless.

A dreadfully depressing album, but that’s part of what makes it great. Not my favorite in the NIN discography, but still an excellent album.

There were a couple standout tracks, however it was very average overall.

You can tell this is the point at which Metallica really got mainstream. I suppose it’s “metal for the masses” in a sense which sounds really pretentious and douchey, but hey, at least I admit it.

Her voice sounds like someone doing a poor parody of a good singer.

They managed to keep punk really interesting.

Significantly better than the average rap album.

Experimental, but without direction which makes it hard to follow at times.

Short, sweet, and to the point.

Way too long. Take the best tracks and turn it into 45 minutes and it's easily a 4/5 album, even if his voice is a bit annoying.

Wow. A rap album I actually really enjoyed. It’s a miracle.

That was a fever dream. Jazz police? Seriously?

Entirely unremarkable music with a cartoon voice.

Inoffensive and exceedingly average Britpop.

A couple classics, but pretty average other than that.

A lot of the same thing over and over. Would have been a lot more effective as a 25 minute EP.

I’m beginning to realize I don’t dislike country. I dislike the modern hybridization of pop and country.

This managed to take many of my favorite aspects of music and bundle them all together in a neat little package.

Not the biggest Floyd fan in the world, and this one isn’t my favorite of theirs. Still a really solid record.

J-Roc is my favorite Wu Tang Clan member.

Never heard of them before, but that was a lot of fun.

A bit more tolerable than most of the other rap so far on this list.

Early Smiths albums are far superior than later efforts.

Can someone please explain the hype behind this band? They really don’t seem that special.

Very boring. I couldn’t even make it half way through.

Aggressively Lo-Fi.

Loveless and MBV are both perfect masterpieces. This one…not so much.

A few good moments, but kind of irritating overall.

It really is impressive when a band with such a large discography manages to release the exact same sound over and over. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have King Gizzard.

Would have been five stars if it wasn’t for his voice.

Some really interesting ideas, but too long.

Some tracks I really hate, others I really like. So I guess it averages to a 3/5?

garbage.

TBH, I kind of find Janis’s voice to be a bit annoying.

Ya like jazz? I like jazz.

An 80s pop album has no right to be this good, yet here we are.

I'm usually more of a fan of Detroit and Acid Techno (particularly in the style of Richie Hawtin/Plastikman) as the British variety can be a bit more rave oriented as seen by the Two-Step and Breaks influences, but overall not bad.

This is really the point at Which Brian’s creative juices really began to flow and arrangements started to become more dense and complex. Great album.

If someone asks what the definition of Prog Rock is, this is the answer.

If the music was accompanied by someone who can sing, the album would actually be really good.

Indie chamber prog? I’m a fan.

Finding a hip hop album I like is a rarity, so props to this guy.

As far a contemporary pop goes, not bad. For pop, I’d rather look to artists like Grimes, Carly Rae Jepsen, Sophie, GFOTY, Charli XCX, and 100 Gecs, but I won’t complain if someone puts some T-Swizzle on.

I didn’t realize Bob Dylan turned into an old lady who smoked 5 packs a day.

If someone decided to start a Country themed parody band based on The Cure. The auditory representation of r/cursedimages.

How is it that all UK Garage all manages to sound the exact same?

Reminded me of Mario Kart music.

Despite what I was expecting, it wasn’t bad.

10 of the exact same songs put together as an album.

This list has forced me to listen to some bad albums, but this may be the worst one yet.

I imagine this is what heroin addiction sounds like.

Sorry Bowie. This one kind of sucked.

The South Park parody of this guy is shockingly accurate. “Naked Man” sounds like Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’s long-lost crackhead cousin.

A decent hip-hop album is a rarity.

Started off pretty strong, but went downhill fast.

Reminds me of high school. I wasn’t even alive in the 70’s (or the 80’s and most of the 90’s for that matter), I’m just a nerd.

My college roomate of three years had YYZ set as his alarm in the morning. It’s really a shame since it’s a great song, but I can’t stand it anymore.

Flea’s talent is wasted. He deserves a better band.

His voice would be better suited to Mongolian Throat Singing.

Honestly, I thought the soulful version of “Changes” from Big Mouth was the original.

The vocal equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

Not bad, just incredibly boring.

Kraftwerk if they were from Detroit.

Is this my favorite album of all time? Yes.

If I never heard another Bob Dylan song, I would die a happy man.

If I listened to this without knowing the artist, I’d say it was someone making a parody of a Queen album. Still not bad though.

Incredibly boring.

Nothing about this album aged well.

House Music: One of the few things the French do right.

This is the fourth time I’ve had to suffer through a Tom Waits album. If this list makes me listen to any more, I’m going to lose it.

I find Bowie to be quite overrated.

Me: “Can we have some metal?” Mom: “We have metal at home.” Metal at home: Seriously though, shoutout to the singers for taking inspiration directly from the sound of me vomiting.

Needs more cowbell.

2/5 for the music. Subtract 1 point for excessive length. Putting two separate albums together as one is rarely a good move.

Cut out about two hours of filler, and this would actually be a pretty good album.

Better than I expected. Still awful, but not quite as awful.

After hearing the keyboards, I was not at all surprised to learn Trevor Horn and Thomas Dolby contributed to this album.
