Emmylou Harris
4/5
I’m beginning to realize I don’t dislike country. I dislike the modern hybridization of pop and country.

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

Can someone explain why this guy has at least 5 albums on this list? It’s all garbage.

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

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

I give this 28 stars--one for each of his wives.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Joan Baez
4/5
Proof that simplicity does not mean something has to be dull or uninspiring.
Joni Mitchell
3/5
Missy Elliott
1/5
I'd rather take a cheese grater to my eardrums than listen to this again.
Butthole Surfers
5/5
Avant garde noise rock at its finest. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea and I totally get that.
Kraftwerk
4/5
Don McLean
3/5
5/5
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.
Ice Cube
1/5
Slightly better than expected. Still didn’t like it though.
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
4/5
Feels like an intimate concert around a campfire with an old friend. Somehow it feels like he's performing just for you.
John Martyn
3/5
Neither good nor bad. Entirely forgettable.
Culture Club
2/5
Pure 80’s cheese...and not the good kind.
The Stooges
4/5
The mix was a bit rough, but I guess it fits the style.
Talking Heads
5/5
The perfect New Wave album.
Traffic
3/5
Suicide
2/5
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.
Lenny Kravitz
4/5
Went in completely blind with no expectations. I really enjoyed it and plan on looking deeper into his discography.
Nirvana
3/5
Yep, sounds like a Nirvana album.
Santana
3/5
Enjoyable listen, but not quite my style.
Chicago
4/5
Excellent blend of jazz and rock. Overall very solid album even if it was a bit long and had a couple weaker tracks.
Cheap Trick
3/5
Soundgarden
3/5
A slightly more interesting version of Nirvana.
Sade
2/5
Fairly boring elevator music that tends to get stuck in your head.
Dire Straits
4/5
Brian Eno
3/5
Started off really strong, then wasn't nearly as good. Still a fine album overall.
PJ Harvey
4/5
Very enjoyable. Raw and unfocused, but in a good way.
Muddy Waters
3/5
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Jimmy Smith
4/5
The taxi process to the runway at Charlotte Douglas was nearly as long as this album.
The Style Council
2/5
Lack of focus in genre and direction made it difficult to get through.
Ian Dury
3/5
Musically it's quite good. Lyrically...I feel transgressed and violated.
Paul Simon
5/5
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.
The Doors
3/5
Bob Dylan
3/5
Musically, I enjoyed the album. His voice however, continues to be a major reason why I don't regularly listen to his work.
Living Colour
4/5
Funky metal
Elvis Presley
3/5
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.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
The Youngbloods
3/5
Neu!
4/5
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.
The Pogues
4/5
I have a hard time taking it seriously, but it sure is fun. Vocals are horribly sibilant at times which can be an annoyance.
The Mamas & The Papas
4/5
I’m a sucker for some good 60’s California psych.
The Cure
4/5
I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was good.
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
3/5
Alice Cooper
3/5
The Divine Comedy
1/5
Was this a joke? Did someone lose a bet? Surely there must be a logical explanation for whatever this was.
Oasis
4/5
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.
Aerosmith
3/5
A fine rock album.
The Cure
3/5
Funkadelic
3/5
Not nearly as funky as I expected.
The Specials
2/5
Some songs I moderately enjoyed, while others were horribly obnoxious. I still pray that there will never be a fourth wave of Ska.
Maxwell
1/5
An entire album of songs that all managed to sound the exact same. And they sucked.
The Stooges
3/5
Thin Lizzy
3/5
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
Todd Rundgren
4/5
Why haven’t I heard of this guy before?
Steve Earle
4/5
If all country was like this, you could count me as a country fan.
Justice
3/5
A bit generic sounding, but that’s because they pioneered the sound. I guess that’s why it made the list.
Jane's Addiction
4/5
Turbonegro
3/5
Well that was an uncomfortable band name.
The Chemical Brothers
4/5
One of the albums that got me into electronic music. It proves that electronic music can be more than frat bro party bangers.
Grant Lee Buffalo
3/5
Pixies
3/5
The first track was really promising, but the rest of it ended up pretty average.
A Tribe Called Quest
2/5
Better than the other rap albums we've gotten so far, still not my thing though.
Supertramp
3/5
There were many points throughout the album where it was so close to being excellent, but it never quite hit the mark.
The Electric Prunes
4/5
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.
Fatboy Slim
2/5
Cheesy.
The Mothers Of Invention
4/5
Fun, entertaining, and a little insane. It doesn't at all sound like it was released in 1966.
The Velvet Underground
3/5
The Undertones
3/5
It's a fine album, but I really don't see why it was included on the list.
Buck Owens
3/5
Sleater-Kinney
3/5
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
The music is fine, but sweet Jesus he has an annoying voice. It’s like Bob Dylan went through a food processor.
The Go-Go's
4/5
I actually really enjoyed this one.
Hugh Masekela
4/5
Ya like jazz?
Madonna
3/5
Can’t say I knew about Madonna’s Trip Hop/IDM phase.
The Fall
3/5
Eagles
4/5
Soft rock can be just as fun as hard rock.
Michael Jackson
3/5
A fine pop album, just not quite my style.
Beatles
5/5
Perfection. Nothing more need be said.
The Kinks
4/5
Fun album. I should really get more into The Kinks.
The Clash
3/5
I really don't get all the hype behind this one.
Blue Cheer
3/5
4/5
New York Dolls
2/5
Generic music, annoying vocals.
Bonnie Raitt
2/5
Nearly put me to sleep which is pretty bad considering I was driving. A lack of direction and focus really made it suffer.
Lambchop
1/5
Wow that was dreadfully boring and monotonous. The last song was the only redeeming quality.
Van Halen
4/5
Hair metal done right.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
5/5
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.
The Jesus And Mary Chain
3/5
Laura Nyro
3/5
Pretty standard vocal centric pop effort from the late 60s.
Lauryn Hill
2/5
Can
4/5
Not Can’s best album, but still fun nonetheless.
Queen
3/5
Nine Inch Nails
4/5
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.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
3/5
There were a couple standout tracks, however it was very average overall.
Metallica
3/5
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.
Patti Smith
2/5
Her voice sounds like someone doing a poor parody of a good singer.
Gang Of Four
4/5
They managed to keep punk really interesting.
A Tribe Called Quest
3/5
Significantly better than the average rap album.
Elvis Costello
3/5
Brian Eno
3/5
Experimental, but without direction which makes it hard to follow at times.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Short, sweet, and to the point.
The Smashing Pumpkins
3/5
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.
Kendrick Lamar
4/5
Wow. A rap album I actually really enjoyed. It’s a miracle.
Leonard Cohen
1/5
That was a fever dream. Jazz police? Seriously?
Randy Newman
2/5
Entirely unremarkable music with a cartoon voice.
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
Björk
4/5
Brian Eno
4/5
Paul Weller

Supergrass

Haircut 100

David Holmes
2/5
A lot of the same thing over and over. Would have been a lot more effective as a 25 minute EP.
Emmylou Harris
4/5
I’m beginning to realize I don’t dislike country. I dislike the modern hybridization of pop and country.
Sonic Youth
5/5
This managed to take many of my favorite aspects of music and bundle them all together in a neat little package.
John Cale

Beth Orton
3/5
Rocket From The Crypt
3/5
David Bowie

Pink Floyd

3/5
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.
Billy Joel
3/5
The Beach Boys
4/5
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.

Unironic 5 stars. It’s hard to process, but that’s the point. Once you hear how one part complements another, it all makes sense.
