Deja Vu
Crosby, Stills, Nash & YoungGood mix of folk and rock. Gives me big vibes
Good mix of folk and rock. Gives me big vibes
I can see why people like the Beatles, but it’s never really been my thing. Solo projects like Imagine are not an exception.
See notes on Imagine. Same shit, albeit slightly better and less piano heavy.
Awesome. Nothing says punk like a bunch of drunken Minnesota guys singing about breaking gender norms and their friend’s boner.
Bit sad innit?
God I wish I was Japanese. It had some highlights, but just a weird album overall.
The definitive gen X, dad rock album. While I can admit The Pixies aren’t the easiest to listen to band, the pacing and constant quality on this album were amazing all the way till the end.
While this album approaches grindcore perfection, it wouldn’t be until Olivia Neutered John’s “Complete Castration” when the genre fully reached its peak.
It’s really hard to not be entertained listening to Freddy Mercury on here. Queen plays with so many genres and does it all very well.
This album felt like a premonition... like what if I combined rock... and rap? Haha just kidding... unless?
For some reason I could never separate Sonic Youth and The Pixies. Overall, there was some good, much appreciated angst in here.
I love this album cover, but title says it all. Coffee house music vibes.
Kind of hard to see how people in the 50’s thought this was the raunchiest thing ever made. Mostly a collection of sappy love songs.
Persona 5 was really bold for inventing 20th century jazz music. This album was equally bold for incorporating a didgeridoo.
She’s got an interesting style that I wasn’t quite expecting. A good amount of spoken word parts made this definitely a different take on punk.
I do not think I’m a big fan of house music. Almost all these songs are not interesting enough to justify being as long as they are.
For every virgin Englishman, there is a chad Irishman.
I get they were trying to go for a spacey/futuristic sound, but it does not make for the easiest listen. Extra points for being from my third favorite Ohio city.
Peter Tosh and I are very aligned on this one. He would like to legalize it, and I cannot sincerely disagree with that take.
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young kind of feel like the power rangers. You need to have them all together to really unleash their full power.
I wouldn’t say it’s the greatest pop album ever made, but it’s still pretty darn good.
Pretty safe 90’s alternative music. It’s nothing too special, but I’ve always been a fan of the genre.
This album is perfect if you want to feel like your in a poorly lit, smokey nightclub with a woman pouring her soul into a piano.
Maybe I’m just happy to see a new decade, but this was a great album despite what the other guy says.
I’ve always had the hardest time describing this album. It’s not quite electronica, but also separate from more traditional rock music. It’s a weird mess, yet simultaneously a great take on human mortality.
Janis Joplin really is the Marge Simpson of rock.
You know a band is good when they call themselves “the band”. Pretty good relaxed music for a band I’ve previously never heard of.
One of those really spacey albums that tries to be super subtle about changes in the music, but always comes off as boring to normal people.
Pretty average. This album really didn’t spark anything in me.
I could handle the 40 minute glory of “Legalize It”. An hour is kind of pushing it, but I mean the music in this is okay I guess.
Nice to see the origins of punk involve a song called penetration. Not too memorable, but still pretty classic.
Don’t really know what to say other than not bad.
Nirvana are definitely the kings of 90’s angst. Scentless Apprentice was the only only song I struggled to listen to. Otherwise pretty amazing work.
Probably the most stereotypically 80’s album yet. Pretty standard stuff.
I find it super funny how unsexy a British man saying, “wake up and make love to me” is. I also really appreciated the part in blockheads where it sounded like the music was releasing the wettest fart possible in my ears. Truly, a masterclass in its genre.
How does Iceland have a big music scene, nobody lives there. The album was pretty good too.
There was just no song on this album that interested me at all. I can’t really say it was the worst thing I’ve listened to yet, but I found it rather unappealing.
Blister in the Sun is probably one of my top songs about jacking it. While it’s hard for the rest of the album to live up to that glory, it does manage to carry its own weight well enough to be good.
Jazz is just a pretty good genre of music in general. Don’t really have much else to say other than it didn’t disappoint.
I liked that this album didn’t last too long. Actually if I’m being honest I don’t remember anything from this one.
I can see why parents in the 80’s thought stuff like this was satanic. One of the hornier albums thus far, but super easy to jam to.
Aretha Franklin is one of those oldie’s musicians that are supposed to be pretty good that I haven’t really paid much attention to in the past. I thought it was well done!
Gimme someone who isn’t the Jam please. Honestly just as forgettable as the last one.
I’m finding a lot of these albums to be okay, but not mind blowing. This one was just acceptable.
I’m actually a big fan of 90’s rap with outdated political references. Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton can fr*ck off!
I didn’t know what to expect out of this album, but I honestly thought the contents of it were super relaxed. Definitely worth a listen imo.
Another strange album. It had some high points, but they were always interrupted by odd moments that were hard to get over.
I could see this music making good background music for when you’re doing work. Not really my thing though.
Why haven’t I ever listened to Jimi Hendrix before now? The man was definitely a pioneer for rock music. Nothing but respect for this album.
I can’t tell if this is for or against the fall of the British Empire. Either way fuck England lol.
Awesome. This is exactly why I love 90’s rap. Never thought I’d hear humpty dumpty rapped to me. There’s so much humor in here, yet its somehow still serious? A lot to unpack here.
I’ve only vaguely heard of the cardigans before this. They’ve got a very dreamy style. I thought it was very nice!
God I’m kind of sad my brain just won’t like reggae. Bob Marley’s warm island songs couldn’t melt my icy heart. I did like three little birds though.
This album has some of the most father/son energy since Will and Jaden Smith teamed up for Willenium. Had some highlights early, but kind of long compared to what we usually get.
I love seeing a 2000’s indie record get some recognition on this list. It may not have been really my style, but it didn’t sound too bad either!
This album is probably the only acceptable platform for a man to yell angry speeches at me. Really good if you want to feel angsty for living in a society.
It was okay. Pretty smooth, but not something I’d usually listen to.
Kind of bad? I just hate drawn out and over emotional singing.
Very similar to Leftism for me. Just sounded like elevator music without much going on.
Maybe it’s because I accidentally listened to the clean version, but this didn’t hit as hard as the last one for me. Way to make an album about the LA riots though lol.
The mix of Indian and alternative music kind of reminds me of Vampire Weekend’s first album. Interesting concept, but I almost wish there was more Punjabi in this.
This feels like fairly run of the mill 90’s indie rock.
I enjoy the androgyny of the album cover and hair metal in general, but not much else unfortunately.
I don’t think a single song really stood out to me, but this album wasn’t bad either. The sound is pretty on par with what I think 60’s music typically sounds like.
I love hearing this obese man get laid until he eventually commits seppuku. I need to listen to this again when I’m not driving.
I now understand why every woman in the 80’s wanted to have sex with this guy. All of his songs are extremely sexual. Fantastic album by George here.
R and B music is great for just sitting down and vibing. Not what I look for in music, but not a bad experience either!
It wasn't bad, but it also wasn’t something I hadn’t heard a million times before.
Why does this band have more than one album on this list? Not good.
This album is so pivotal to the creation of a lot of stuff I listened to growing up it’s insane. This album is just nutty.
This album was really carried by Praise You and The Rockefeller Skank. Definitely the most entertaining electronica album amongst the previous choices.
Pretty good for it’s genre, but that’s not saying much.
Somewhat similar to other more electronic albums, but this one is just enough better to justify a 4 for some inexplicable reason.
Man I started listening to this after a 7 hour drive and couldn’t get through the first three songs. This was basically fleet foxes if they sucked.
What are we if not all gigolos?
I’ve never listened to Bob Dylan, but I can see him being pretty good. I think if this was an album from his prime I might like it more. Lots of potential here.
This album did not sound like what I expected after looking at the cover. Pretty middle of the road in my opinion.
I’ve always been a big fan of Bowie. He’s the unparalleled king of weird 70’s spacey rock by far. Bold move making two instrumental tracks just randomly in the middle of the album. Good job king.
Another good one. Never listened to Prince either, but this made for some good driving music.
I think this album can best be described by this wikipedia entry, “The band's members stated that they did not condone Nazism and were merely interested in the subject.” Awesome.
Basically murder porn. This album is literally a horny man singing about guns and death for like an hour. What the hell is this?
It is very hard to have anything bad to say about simon and garfunkel. Probably one of the more iconic artists we have gotten yet.
This may be a bit of a hot take, but I like Pavement for influencing Beabadoobee alone. This isn’t my favorite album by them (Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is fire), but the vibe is still here!
I feel like shoegazing is a very hit or miss genre for me. A good portion of the songs on here worked really well in my opinion!
This isn’t really a commentary on the album, but why is every 90’s grunge band from Seattle? Where do they find all these guys?
Cool band name. I don’t really see what’s so special to justify being on this list.
Honestly some of the songs on here were pretty good, but it was hard for me to focus on the music for a full hour and a half.
It’s been a good while since we got Sonic Youth. I’m less impressed this time around than with the first one, but I also didn’t hate it. I really just want to hear their album with teen age riot.
As painful as all the other shitty british house music albums.
Blues just makes you feel cool. Mannish boy is definitely proof that this guy fucks.
It’s not murder porn, but I still hate this dude. Just another one of those artists that I can’t help but wonder how they have multiple albums on this list?
This album was very reminiscent of an earlier Brand New. Not great, but I like early angst music.
The music was a little too slow and drawn out for my taste. Didn’t make for a very interesting album.
I really wish I could understand why this album is so highly rated. Maybe I just came in with way too high expectations, but absolutely nothing on here was mind boggling. I get that this album is supposed to be super influential and experimental or whatever, but this could just sound so much better (although there are a few tracks on here that I thought weren’t bad). This just continued to cement my idea that the beatles are the most overrated band of all time.
I hate to say it, but when country isn’t talking about some old asshole making out with his masculine truck/tractor on his way to the honky tonk bar it’s not the worst sounding thing ever. This album was much more emotionally vulnerable and enjoyable than I expected.
Love me some Oasis, but I’m still waiting for this cowardly site to give me “Wonderwall”.
This album was the result of a man who put the lime in the coconut. Fantastic work.
It’s been a while since we had a funk album. Honestly so refreshing. I’m probably going to jinx this, but the last 4 albums have all been super good. Hopefully this chain continues!
Yeah I shouldn’t have said anything. An all around unmemorable and mediocre at best album.
One thing I appreciate about all these metal albums is that they stay less than 40 minutes. I can appreciate the complexity in the music, but the genre just isn’t for me.
Don’t Panic was always one of my favorite opening tracks. Yellow is always a jam as well. This album definitely did a good job at setting the stage for the band Coldplay would be up until the stylistic change of Mylo Xyloto.
I came in with some expectations for this one since two weeks was one my indie playlist. This definitely fit the bill of a late 2000’s indie album. Pretty good folk music with a bit of an odd chamber twist to it.
I’ve always liked The Pixies style of rock, but I just wish this album wasn’t so long. There were a lot of good tracks on this record, but they could sometimes get muddled among other tracks. This is something I will have to listen to again to better pick out what I like.
This music wasn’t bad, but listening to “Do Your Thing” was brutal if only for its length.
Psychedelic music is either really good, or strange and mediocre. This one was unfortunately the latter.
I expected more from my favorite Scientologist. Not a super impressive album from the guy who made Loser.
“Take me into your loving arms Isreal”, what a fucking joke. I don’t hate the Bee Gees, but that song about Israel fucking sucked major dong. Free Palestine baby.
An album that feels cool all the way through. The only song I wasn’t a big fan of was Planet Caravan. I appreciate this album for shifting us from psychedelic feel good music to rage and angst.
This is in my opinion the best Pavement album. Almost as raw and unkempt as Slanted and Enchanted, but with just enough experience and refinement to be a banger.
Yeah this was just okay.
Probably did big waves in the eurozone back when it was released. Very German, but not much else going on here.
This album was fun, but I have no idea if I got the full experience since it’s not on spotify for some reason.
Okay I guess.
Not bad, but I would’ve liked to hear Come on Eileen if I was going to listen to these guys.
Pretty good work from the original rocket man! There was a good consistent mix of music in this album that leaves you satisfied.
Where the hell does the dude who wrote this find these albums? We finally get another album from the 2010’s and it’s this weirdo electronica shit that doesn’t even have it’s own Wikipedia page. Some songs were okay (I like Slow Motion), but of all the things that came out between 2010-2017 this is what they came up with?
As with all reggae albums on here I found it different, but not ground breaking.
Not their best work, but Aerosmith has always made some fun music. Love the album cover too.
Very unbearable. If I wanted to listen to spoken word over music for 40 minutes I would not be listening to rock music.
A little too spacey for me. Mad respect to making an album with only two songs though. Miles Davis once again proves himself as the giga chad of jazz.
FINALLY something from the Congo. 100+ albums in and we finally get a decent soukus album. Fingers crossed for another one.
Better than I would expect from other albums similar to this. Not a bad experience!
No thanks, I’m good.
I’ve actually heard of Massive Attack before now. I’m saddened to learn they are another one of these bands that produce the absolute worst kind of music. Once again disappointed in electronica.
Man I really haven’t felt these last 3 albums. Maybe it’s the genre, maybe I’m just tired of British music as a whole, or maybe I’m just tired. Regardless, I have felt nothing from these.
I mean… I guess it’s better for a trip hop album? I wasn’t paying attention with this one.
After a slew of god awful albums this was exactly what I wanted to hear. +1 star for ending my misery.
An overall okay country album that doesn’t disappoint.
This man unironically used the n-word to describe Irish catholics. I guess the Irish really are the black people of Europe.
Like the Soukas album, but missing the pants that made it awesome.
I really appreciate how this album was in like 4 different languages. Really adds to the flair.
A better album than the last Bob Dylan one in my opinion. I love the title of Homesick Subterranean Blues.
An album full of hedonism that was ahead of its time in a matter befitting of Andy Warhol. Awesome work.
I liked the idea of opening a blues album with the help of Carlos Santana. Kind of fell off towards the last 3 songs in my opinion.
How many bands were these people in??? Stills and Young coming in hot with this one.
I did not care for this much.
I’m not really sure how much I like Method Man’s style of rapping. The first few songs it was kind of hard to even hear what he was talking about.
Not bad for the genre. I liked the guitar solos.
I find this album incredibly hard to judge. While this is my favorite shoe gazing album, the genre itself isn’t *THAT* good. When You Sleep might be my favorite love song, and Only Shallow starts the album out with a bang. If this was a 10-star system I would give this 8.5/10. Really good work!
Just as good as the last Simon and Garfunkel album. These two are just impossible to hate.
Decent first album by these guys, but I liked Deja Vu just a tad bit more.
I have gotten to the point where I can compare Todd Rundgren albums. They’re both okay.
For the first time in a while I have found a new artist from this list that I legitimately like. This album was a great modern take on the smoky jazz I heard from artists like Nina Simone. Overall, I really liked this album and thought it was nearly perfect.
Yeah this album was fine and all. Didn’t know Brian Eno got his start in Roxy Music though.
Kinda bad with the exception of the title track.
Some if the songs were good, some were mediocre. Decent performance overall.
I like system of a down occasionally. Definitely not their best work though. I think given another album they will perfect their sound.
This was honestly elevator music, but I saw someone died trying to save this album so it feels wrong giving it a bad score lol.
Started off really well, but kinda dragged on. Not quite as vibey when I’m not in a car.
Frank Sinatra is pretty classic so this had to be at least a decent album.
Some good songs on here that kind of got bogged down by more mediocre ones.
A pretty decent album given that it’s genre is kind of bad.
I’ve only listened to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot before so it was great listening to some of Wilco’s earlier stuff. If this album was just the first disk it would be worthy of a 5, but sadly I didn’t take much interest in disk 2.
Didn’t like Morrissey’s singing, and the title track was some weird vegan shit with cows in the back. I can’t hate on the backing instrumentals in this one though.
Yeeeeeaaahhh, I’ve already committed to this band being bad so this one is going to be a big yikes from me.
A mostly okay album, but as a fan of white girl music Waterfalls pushes this thing up to 4.
It’s kind of weird to hear stuff from blur that isn’t Song 2. Honestly though I didn’t hate it.
Actually a not bad album. The first really heavy metal album that I could kinda get behind!
Kind of reminded me of Patti Smith. Not bad, but I think her later works are probably better.
This kinda reminded me of classic rock, but from the 90’s. There were some good tracks, but it was kind of outdated.
I thought this album started out really well. Unfortunately like halfway through the house influence became more apparent and the album dropped off from there.
This is probably the strangest album I’ve had to listen to yet… I love it.
As with all the other 3 star albums I feel nothing.
I liked the blues inspired beginning. It kinda fell off a bit later on, but not enough that it really ruined the album.
I’ve only heard their Christmas work before now. This was definitely easier to jam to.
I was expecting worse from a post-punk album. This was more reminiscent of Interpol or something else I’d listen to.
Oh boy! I sure am happy I got to listen to Pitchfork’s 127th best album of the 1960’s!! Definitely a must listen!!!
There was a lot of Kanye on an album with supposedly only one Kanye feature. Pretty good shit.
I wasn’t really into this as much as I thought I would be. Kind of felt like a mix of Christmas and early Disney music. Maybe come December I’d be feeling this more.
Not bad album from the og bald girl artist.
The most classic album from the beard boys themselves.
A much better disco band than the beegees by far. Not so many hits on this album, but it’s enough to get me hyped for the next ABBA album.
It’s not the Clash’s best work. It’s a bit sad that the best track off of here was on the US release and not the original record.
David bowie what are you doing here?
Yeah okay I guess. I mean it’s Leonard Cohen.
Love to hear a rock opera. Pinball Wizard was a bop.
Absolutely iconic 80’s album. The songs all sound similar, but damn if it isn’t a good sound.
3 songs clocking in at just under 40 min. Sounds about right.
It was definitely a good album, but just a tad bit too long. Can’t wait for Rumours though.
I should’ve given Transformer 4-stars it was actually pretty good. This one was okay, but I might be tuckered out from so many Velvet Underground albums in a row.
I haven’t given a 5 in quite a while, and like the Arctic Monkeys so why not give it a 5? Pretty good work from the boys.
Somehow not as good as Dry. Oh well I guess.
There were some good songs in here, but also some snoozers. Not a bad debut, but hopefully they evolved with later works.
I liked the way a lot of the songs transitioned into each other on this album. Way to go Questlove.
Why are you so sad Bruce Springsteen? :(
A good album. Wish I didn’t have to find it on youtube though.
I like the intro where he teaches you how hindustani classical music works. Not really a genre I see myself listening to more after this though.
Starting an album out with a 21 minute instrumental track is just a bit too pretentious for me lol.
Janis Joplin is always good for some fun music. A bit sad that she died so young. Rip to a real one.
Now this is what I’m talking about.
Some of these songs actually slapped. The live album aspect was a nice change of pace.
The rap wasn’t bad. Some of these songs sound pretty ahead of their time for 1992.
Kind of boring. It just felt like not much was really going on here.
Sonnuva Scott Walker.
When I saw this was the cure before they had a more pop friendly sound I definitely set my bar low. I just want to hear Friday, I’m in Love.
He’s still just so cool. I just wish that Voodoo Child wasn’t 15 minutes long.
One of those albums I kinda spaced out to. Whoops. I don’t think it was a bad album though.
I’m surprised The Rolling Stones could make 9 albums and still pump out content of this quality. I’m very impressed with this one!
I thought I was going to hate the 20 minute opening track more, but it was honestly good prog rock.
If this album just had Born To Run it would honestly still be a 4. He really hit the mark with this one.
I have yet to find an international album on here that really blew me away. This one was really okay at best.
Smooth, relaxing, and inoffensive. I have actually listened to some of this guys later work and liked how he evolved. I wouldn’t mind getting another one of his albums just to see where it goes.
I really liked 2pac’s style of rap on this one. Rip to a king man this album was tight.
Man I wish I was in prison so I could hear the sweet sweet sounds of Johny Cash.
The jazz wasn’t bad, but the name Mingus is pretty awesome.
The B-52’s are probably the weirdest band to make it mainstream. Like what even is Rock Lobster. Awesome track.
Kraut Rock sounds like a mix of German shoe gaze and spacey Sigur Ros music. Whatever it is, it felt like it would be good music for walking.
For my third Bob Dylan album it’s not bad. I wish it was a little shorter, but what can you do.
I think this album was good for experimenting with a lot of things. Some of the styles they tried didn’t sound that great, but it made for an interesting album overall.
I like the album cover, the music is a big swing and a miss.
I feel like garage rock is one of those genres that might be unpopular, but I honestly don’t mind it so much.
Braziiiiiiillllll!
Why do British people want to be Jamaican so bad? Why must Elvis Costello be involved with this album? I have no answers…
Oh boy my favorite two genres of trip hop and house return with a passion!! Now they’re Norwegian. So cool!!
Obviously not as good as Paranoid, but I do love me some Black Sabbath.
This is literally a middle aged man dreaming about a 15 year old. Beyond fucked up premise coming from France.
I didn’t really like Spiritualized’s first work. Still not a huge fan, but I have given so many bad scores recently so I’m cutting this one some slack.
It’s the return of the king baby. My man killed it on this one!
This has so much more energy than other post-punk albums, I can’t help but appreciate how distinct this one is.
Obviously this is a good album. I can see what the critics were talking about when they called it pretentious though; jaded rock stars singing about being jaded rock stars for 80 minutes.
Honestly pretty good. It was definitely a lot less experimental than Sergeant Pepper, but that was to be expected.
Good one from the king of reggae and his crew. I definitely digged No Woman, No Cry. Album cover was… interesting.
Chill and relaxing 90’s jams.
So this is what happens when you live in the 60’s and take acid? Not a bad effort.
Mr. Loaf has created a masterpiece that I find hard not to love. For better or worse, Paradise by the Dashboard Light will always remind me of family road trips when I was younger. I’m beyond happy seeing it on this list.
Always nice to hear early indie albums, and so much energy for noise rock! Little Fury Things is especially good. I’m also happy to hear it influenced Death Can for Cutie.
Smooth soul songs that go down easy. Title track is definitely a standout. I think this album might’ve worked better though if Al proclaimed himself to be the soul machine.
80’s rap is a whole different vibe than today’s albums man. Shout out to My African kings.
I wish it was easier to hear albums in the car. I like the Smashing Pumpkins well enough, but damn I couldn’t hear half the songs.
Even at it’s best trip hop is still just not an interesting genre. Sad.
This album is so full of great rap songs, that length is really meaningless here. Andre 3000 and Big Boi just compliment each other so well. Hot damn.
If this album was good for anything it was that the beat for He’s Always There was used by the Pussycat Dolls for When I Grow Up.
Funk and disco were just too good. Love it!
If this is the Wu-Tang clan’s best work I can honestly say that I’m not a huge fan. Don’t get me wrong this is good hip hop, but it doesn’t feel as revolutionary as people make it out to be.
I will always fondly remember this album as the one with the 20 minute armadillo tank album cover song.
Less refined than Tommy but not bad by any means.
The only genre to truly rival the Icelandic industrial metal music is it’s Slovenian counterpart. Opus Dei perfectly encapsulates the works of bands to follow. If only Hatari could find itself on this list.
There’s no real standout in this album for me because every song is just consistently good. Arcade Fire made such a great emotional album it just feels effortlessly emo. This is one of my favorite indie albums by far. Easy 5-stars from me.
I’m never upset whenever I get another Neil Young album from this list. I enjoyed this one slightly more than the average album.
This is definitely the most 80’s album yet. Lots of sonics and drumbeats. When it slaps it slaps, but otherwise it plays like a normal pop record.
This album felt super ahead of it’s time. 1969 and it still holds up as a great rock album. Well done Led Zeppelin.
Once again Elvis Costello has boldly proved himself to be an existent person. Only this time he refrained himself from saying the n-word. Brilliant. (How and why does this guy have 6 albums on this list?)
The amount of women screaming in the background clues the listener into the fact that not only does James Brown fuck, he also fucks often.
This album was always so long that I was just too scared to touch it. After listening though I can confirm I still like the Smashing Pumpkins. I also like what they were going for here. I just don’t know if it was really necessary lol.
I have vague but good memories of listening to a Blondie greatest hits album in the car in my youth. I just love how sure of their style they are, and yet how all of these songs seem to borrow from different styles. Plus it’s just a great pop album!
Some snoozers on here, but I love the build up in some of these songs. Good indie overall. I’m a bit biased though since Grounds for Divorce has been a staple on my indie playlist for a while now.
60’s jazz is always a good one. Although the second track title on here is a bit dated haha.
Man Murder Ballads really rubbed me the wrong way. Abattoir blues was okay, but some tracks reminded me of that one. Lure kinda sucked unless it was O Children.
I thought this was a 90’s album at first. I guess it was somewhat ahead of it’s time then. I also can’t hate on the alt rock style.
I was wondering when I would get another house album. Well just like Leftism, I found it incredibly dull! Great work!!!
This album title was definitely made by someone on acid. 17 minutes is a bit long for a title track, but the single version is a must add.
What could be more classic than British people with a weird American fantasy? A lot of things when you think about it.
Any reference to The Day of the Triffids is good in my book. The music was also okay of course.
It’s so frustrating when you know critically acclaimed albums that you know and love weren’t included on this list because of some boring ass pretentious piece like this HAD to be here. 40 minutes of nothing. So boring that I stopped halfway and didn’t care enough to put it back on.
I always like La Grange. The rest is okay.
I respect Sheryl Crow for making the country twanged pop work. Shine bright queen.
Another sad girl album. Two in a row, but can we make it three?
This is probably some of the liveliest work I’ve seen from Simon or Garfunkel. It’s worth a listen, but I don’t see myself taking any singles from here.
I always like seeing live albums on here. This one was pretty relaxed so I liked it well enough.
I’ve got some experience with Yes and they’re okay. Pretty run of the mill psychedelic.
This album will really peak the interest of all the true bongo heads out there. 1 hour of instrumental bongo funk just isn’t enough if you ask me.
Nice to hear some British boy excellence from the band I always assumed were one hit wonders.
A wee bit more if Britpop to brighten up your Chewsday. A roight banga for all the lads across the pond. Cheers bruv.
This album was definitely carried by the two hit singles off of it. Not bad though.
This album was okay for any other band, but coming from the Who I kind of didn’t like it? Maybe I’m just holding them to too high a standard though.
This one goes out to number of the beast. It deserved an extra star so I’m correcting my mistakes in post.
He’s not much of a lyricist is he? I feel like by now Kid Rock has probably tarnished whatever legacy he really had. The biggest surprise for me coming out of this album is that he was apparently good friends with Eminem? Crazy lol.
Most world albums suffer because I can’t understand the language and it makes the album sound much more monotonous. I think Khaled did a good job of incorporating different styles into this to keep it interesting.
As much as I love Morrissey, I still am not a big fan of his music. He gets an extra star for being cool.
For reasons beyond me Alanis absolutely stacked this album with all her hits. All I Really Want in particular definitely hit hard for me last year when I was discovering it for the first time. Very, very well done.
For my first experience with the beach boys this was certainly okay.
Surprisingly pop and house together almost sound like shoegaze. I think the album is at it’s best when it hits that mix, but otherwise it just doesn’t really work.
She’s such a queen hot damn. Literally the best thing to come out of Tennessee. This album is serves as an excellent example of how to make good country music.
I really don’t see what’s special about this album, but I guess any list of 1000+ things is bound to have some filler…
I don’t know if it is the first, but it’s definitely the most well known fuck tha police album. I’ll give it credit for setting the stage for 90’s rap and some big stars like Dre and Ice Cube.
Probably Depeche Mode’s best album. Personal Jesus is the real banger off of here.
For an album with Honky Tonk in the name, it’s much less obnoxious than you would think.
Just upbeat enough that the post punk music becomes bearable. Really outdid yourselves this time Echo and the Bunnymen.
Kinda gross. I’d appreciate it more if he didn’t viscerally scream and moan into the microphone for the last few songs.
It’s awesome that we could have so many grunge bands pop out of Seattle at the same time. Ten is a pretty good album that was able to kind of keep up with Nirvana.
Nothing slaps harder than Christmas music on Christmas!
Alright I’m gonna be honest. The more I listen to Bob Dylan the less I really care for him. This was okay.
Nothing wrong with some punk rock.
Kind of jazzy slowed down pop. Made for a good album.
Good to be back in the eurozone via the Trans Europe Express.
Sure afrobeats, why not?
Some of these songs were kind of like brown eyed girl but less interesting.
Smoke on the water is obviously good, but these songs are just too long with not enough going on. Especially that drum solo in the mule
I must have 3x the amount of Neil Young albums as I do albums from the 2010’s.
I’m not gonna write a paragraph this time, it was just okay.
Honestly I might stop soon because I have been really disappointed in all the last albums. It’s been a good run though.
Sure I like disco.
The dire straights have a very weird style of music going on that’s hard to describe, but when it works it just works.
Maybe it’s because Kanye made a sample of it, but 21st century schizoid man definitely felt way wayyy ahead of it’s time.
Alright, say what you will about Kanye… but at least his music is interesting and whatnot. This album has some consistent bangers. Slow Jamz being my favorite by far.
The music was not bad.
Figuring out massive attack was a trip hop artist was definitely the biggest disappointment of last year. Still not into it.
Ahhh yes. The standard formula for this book putting mediocre albums into the 2010’s instead of actually filling it with good music.
I have no quarrels with classic americana music.
Honestly it’s better than I thought it would be!
This is actually exactly what I needed. I’m surprised by how many negative reviews for this I’ve seen though. I know the list was expanded for it, but it’s been consistently reviewed as one of the most well made albums from the 2010’s. How tf does that not deserve a place on here??? It’s insane to me the amount of genres influenced this work. I never thought I’d here a country disco song and like it. Way to go!
I think I liked this more than the previous Cohen album, but I just don’t find the content all that interesting.
I love a good angsty girl band. Very consistent album, but not quite styled how I like. Album cover was very cool.
Love the whole vibe of this album. It’s the perfect 50’s tribute piece for something so incredibly modern. RIP Amy Winehouse, gone too soon.
Another not bad album.
Every Breath You Take alone is such a bop it could carry the rest of this album.
I didn’t really even care for the music, I just like that they called Reagan a fascist lol.
Man blues is one of those genres that can really keep your interest if done right. The live format definitely helps as well.
A classic glam rock album from the most classic glam rock band.
That’s it… I’m joining the rat pack.
Really surprised with this one. It’s a strange mix of blues, jazz, and noisy rock that builds into something awesome with almost every track. Probably the first album since Tidal that I have never heard of but found consistent enjoyment in. I’ll definitely be following this artist more closely from now on!
I like the music. Kind of wish she didn’t make an hour and twenty minutes worth of it.
Not a bad album by any means, but definitely not the best the Gorillaz ever made. A decent precursor for what was to come though.
It’s good when he doesn’t sound like a medieval woman. idk why some artists on this list insist that is a sound people want to hear lol.
I liked how this album varied from super intense to very mellow depending on the track. I had already heard Maps, but it was nice to get a chance to hear everything else.
This is some of the most 80’s mixtape music I have ever heard. Very choppy flow and punchy beats.
I played this very loudly and it sounded great! Teenage Riot has also always been my favorite Sonic Youth song.
The music was good, but the parts where they talk to the audience are mixed terribly. I can’t hear them for shit lol. Might as well not be a live album.
Is it weird? Yes… but does it work? Also, yes? I enjoyed it I think.
This one goes out to all my Iowan kings out there.
Far, far too long for how uninteresting the music was. Cool album cover though.
God Save the Queen is definitely an all time favorite punk song. Nice quick album as well. It’s a classic for a reason.
Can you believe the sheer audacity of this man to even suggest making 50 albums for all 50 states? I know we only got 2, but Michigan and Illinois are definitely some of the best folk albums of the 2000’s. While this work is his best, I’d love to also see Carrie and Lowell on here!
Once again I find myself surprised by just how much I like these guys. Great folk music!
My initial reaction was, “Beyoncé has a sister? Who’s also famous? Wild.” Crazy how one person can be so famous that you never even hear about the rest of their family.
Honestly I’m a little disappointed by the low key r&b music. Still good, but not as food as I thought it would be.
A pretty average pop album. Karma Chameleon is a definite bop though. I don’t think they could’ve come up with a more 80’s albums cover if they tried lol.
I’m sick of seeing this guy on this list. Suck my balls Elvis Costello.
A king at work. What a pleasant way to start my morning.
Frankie boy out here having a good time. Nothing wrong with that.
Another album I just didn’t pay attention to . Whoops.
I hate that all I know about this man is from a cumtown bit. Music was okay, but that sucks bro.
I like it when garage rock has this jangly low audio quality. It really adds to the whole vibe.
If one good thing came out of this list it’s that I could finally listen to the Velvet Underground. Lou Reed has such an iconic and unique voice. This album in particular was even better than The Velvet Underground and Nico imo.
I feel like the boss is trying to hit the perfect balance of being a little bit post 9/11 rock’n’roll and country. It works some of the time, but I find it’s mostly just uninteresting.
Blowing in the Wind is a good song, but I kind of find it goes downhill from there.
I love the concept of a heavy metal orchestra. I just wish it wasn’t 2 hours long.
Actually a pretty good album. I don’t understand why I find their style better than a lot of 90’s hip-hop, but it just is.
The Eagles in general just make good shit. Take it Easy is such a bop.
After listening to Victoria as much as I have, I think the Kinks style of music has really grown on me.
Not usually into the whole baroque thing, but he kind of makes it work. At least I can feel some energy.
He’s one of the goats with a guitar for a reason. The man is unparalleled when it comes to latin guitar noises.
Man, this guy huh? Been doing punk since the 60’s huh. Crazy.
Literally 1984. Van Halen is so good though that I don’t mind it.
Not Elvis’ best, but damn if he’s not still Elvis. Gotta respect the king.
Rolling Stone’s 3rd best album of all time. Best break up album of all time. Best album ever produced by a woman. Not on Spotify. Thanks Joe Rogen for fucking with my listening. Now I can’t save any of these songs.
One thing I never thought about is what Pink Floyd’s debut sounded like. Honestly, it’s still pretty good. The album cover is cool as fuck too.
Not bad. I can definitely see the family resemblance between her and Michael Jackson in here. Not a bad connection to have.
Pretty darn good for a 13th effort.
Even though I’m pretty mixed on the genre, there’s just something about these guys that I just find hard to hate. Not a bad listen!
Yoooo Kendrick Lamar in an album. I don’t care what the rest of the album is like (it was still good), that part hypes me up loke crazy.
Yoooo Kendrick Lamar in an album. I don’t care what the rest of the album is like (it was still good), that part hypes me up loke crazy.
Really good album to just rock to. Metallica and heavy metal at its best.
This was actually a really enjoyable pop album. I can 1000% see why it was put on this list. Nice cat on the album cover too.
I just didn’t see anything special here.
Once again Eagles proved to be a good band. You just can’t go wrong here.
Blur is a great band, that I love very much. They are very British and I think that’s very cool.
If it’s an indie album from the 2000’s it’s probably a safe bet I’m gonna like it. Especially the guys who made Wolf Like Me.
Not all the songs on here are bad, but it’s just boring to listen to it all in a row.
This is just run of the mill 80’s rock. Nothing special here to justify it’s place on the list.
Not all the songs on here are bad, but it’s just boring to listen to it all in a row.
Why do British people gotta turn all rap into trip hop. Kinda sucks bro.
Another artist killed by big podcast. Rip Neil Young, this was one of your better ones imo.
This album is about what you’d expect from Leonard Cohen. Man sings about love in an alright fashion.
The most rock and roll Run-DMC ever got. A great album if jamming to mixtapes is your thing.
Album title says it all. Not a high for David Bowie, but it’s still Bowie we’re talking about. Everything he touches is still bound to be good.
This album probably draws from the most diverse pool of cultures yet. I’ve never heard of afro-cuban big band jazz music, but it’s not a bad listen.
Never thought Stephen Malkmus was into country music, but I guess here we are huh?
Alright I was lenient on the last one, but I’m actually getting tired of the country music lol.
She’s okay for someone I have never heard of.
I didn’t know Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel were in a band together. That’s interesting I guess.
I do think it’s cool that Eno transitioned from rock to soundscapes is pretty cool. I like a good amount of the albums he produced with that too, but the actual album is just okay.
I thought this was a post-punk album, so I was relieved when I heard punk music lol.
I hold strong that this music was in fact, not bad.
Perhaps I was too hard on Slayer and Megadeath. At least those albums had some deeper meaning, this one is definitely trying way to hard to be edgy. Like we get it bro you worship Satan.
I like when it gets all bluesy, not a fan of it when it’s psychedelic. I know Eric is more into the blues so shout out to him for making the album bearable.
Synth pop apparently is another genre I’m not too fond of. Didn’t like Eurythmics either.
Pink Floyd has definitely got both dope music, and some dope album covers. Really looking forward to the day Dark Side of the Moon shows up on this list. Fantastic album though.
I was hesitant at first, but the more I listen to Elliot Smith the more I like his slowed down indie music.
I broke it up into two sections on accident, but it was still pretty good. A bit faster paced than Music From Big Pink.
A nonstop bop from start to finish. I love Green Day, and am always happy to see their rock opera on this list.
I never realized how similar shoegaze and punk were till I listened to this one. Very interesting mix!
Noooo Randy Newman don’t say the n-word 👅👅🙈. Omg noooo Randy you’re too innocent 😳
The Flaming Lips is one of those bands that took forever to find their style, but damn if it’s not a good style.
Usually hesitant with double albums but the stones kept it real close to an hour, which I appreciate greatly. Honestly good tunes in here! I’m surprised to see so much Americana in a British album. Also I like that they weren’t paying their taxes lol.
This album was good if the intention was scaring me. Gravely voices and vaudeville are not fun to listen to lol.
Fantastic album from start to finish. The three hours it takes to finish are nothing compared to the sheer lasting joy you get afterwards. The only thing that makes this album better is the massive 69 used for an album cover. Genius. Master class. Perfection. All words that come close to describe this work.
Hayes’ version of Walk on By is so good, it really brings a whole new meaning to, “I’m gonna make love to ya womaaaaaan.” This is definitely the kind of soul music I can get behind.
The album itself is okay, but it’s nice to hear it inspired some of my favorite solo indie girls (snail mail and soccer mommy to name a few).
Not cool of the Scotts here to steal English valor by making half the album weird, shitty space noises. At least they had the decency to make the other half of the album decent grungy rock.
This is pretty good given how few people it looks like have actually listened to this band lol.
This album reminds me of the B-52’s in the sense that it is uber weird. First track is kind of a bop though.
Nice and relaxing music. Reminiscent of going to a jazz club and just listening to the band vibe for about an hour.
I still find Morrissey’s voice incredibly boring, but the man is a bit of a baller and the instrumentals are well done. Plus, this is supposed to be their best work and I just feel bad making fun of them all the time.
My favorite part of this one is that David Bowie was so high on cocaine he couldn’t even remember making it. That’s some king shit right there.
Feels like it could’ve just as easily been made in the 90’s. Otherwise I’m meh on this one.
Jazzy in a way the other two Steely Dan albums could only dream of. I enjoyed it a lot!
A bit more upbeat than I was expecting, but just meh overall.
Why does every English folk singer sound like they are trying to impersonate a woman? Whack dude.
More electronic music, but it was kind of bopping while I was playing ffxiv so I’ll get over it.
I love the messy blues aesthetic so much, and the live format just made it even more of a jam. I wish that the whipping post wasn’t 23 minutes long, but honestly they switched it up enough to keep it interesting.
The Stones are probably the most American sounding British band. I enjoy the style.
Not someone I was expecting to see again. Not a huge fan of the sound, but I am happy to see he doesn’t sound like a medieval woman in this one.
As far as Neil Young albums go this one is simply okay. My favorite for now is definitely Rust Never Sleeps.
Still just as freaky.
Very Keane-esque album. I liked it more than I thought I would! Kind of slow, but definitely relaxing.
The Talking Heads are always in their own zone. Not quite pop, funk, electronica, or whatever other genre they throw in, but they make it work well to their advantage.
A very Elvis album for something made in the late 80’s. Nice and bluesy, just kind of late to the party.
I guess just about everyone was getting into grunge huh? Not bad Neil Young, not bad.
What can I say except I’m not interested.
Worth it, if only for the song Sex Dwarf. Definitely a banger. Tainted Love doesn’t even begin to reach that glory.
The National was always one of those bands I had a hard time getting into. Definitely enjoyed the album though. I’ll have to listen to more of them!
Didn’t really need to be 1.5 hours, but Led Zeppelin are pretty goated regardless.
I came into this unfairly thinking I would hate it. It was honestly okay, but I don’t think I’d ever listen to it again.
I relate U2 to Coldplay a lot in how the bands developed. I definitely think some of their earlier works should be on this list. While I enjoy listening to songs off of A Head Full of Dreams, I don’t think that it’s so deserving of a spot on this list. The same goes for this album.
Just jazzy enough to be entertaining, and not so long that it bores you to death.
Has that level of pretentious where they play pure chaos in your ear for over an hour, (looking at you aumgn and peking o) even though it just kinda sounds like dogshit that you hate to see.
I had the pleasure of listening to this previously thinking it wasn’t on this list. I think I definitely understand the appeal a bit more the second time around. I’m also a real sucker for that saxophone bit on Coronado.
Name a more classic duo than British people stealing some from some other culture and then making a shittier version of it.
Very enjoyable. I know it’s got a dark meaning, but it feels like good campfire music. Just the vibe I’m getting.
Idk what to say except I thoroughly enjoyed this album.
Definitely more in her prime than Red Dirt Girl. Still not a huge fan though.
I looked at the album cover and assumed it would be trip hop. Decided to read the wiki and thought, “okay… maybe it’s not trip hop.” Mfw it was trip hop.
Didn’t care for it.
I liked the emotion in the first two songs. The rest were a little too dull for me.
Never listened to Buddy Holly before, but I can’t say I hated him. Very reminiscent of Elvis here.
After Ziggy Stardust this is definitely his finest work. Top notch work from the man, Bowie himself.
I don’t listen to much Beyonce, but I’m pretty sure she’s got better works than this one. Still a pretty great pop album though.
Run of the mill punk music imo. Short and sweet, but overall fairly forgettable.
Very old school, but I can see how it would be relevant on this list. It was definitely on the longer side, but I’m pretty sure this is two albums merged into one so I’ll give it a pass.
There’s something about old school Americana blues rock that just gets me going. Fantastic album.
No offense to Method Man, but this was more enjoyable than Tical in my opinion.
The music was okay, but the album cover was fire. This album gets some style points for that one.
I like Elton just as much as anyone, but Tiny Dancer is very much the mvp of this one.
I was too busy playing Elden Ring to listen to this one much. I’m a bit of a softie for my bloody valentine though since Loveless introduced me to noise based music. I’ll probably give another listen later.
Not a big baroque guy, but I will admit it was a relaxing album to listen to while panicking in the human wreckage that is Delaware.
Even when she’s not at her peak, Amy Winehouse is still a vibe. Fun listen all the way through.
Felt much longer than it was even though it wasn’t all that terrible? Maybe I’m just fucking tired idk.
Easy to listen to singer-songwriter country music, but just not really my taate.
Very awful in all the right ways. I loved it when Korn repeatedly stated, “what the fuck”. Awesome. The duet with Fred Durst where they call each other gay? Awesome. Ice Cube showing up on the album? Awesome. I couldn’t think of a better album to start pride month with, because this is possibly the gayest album of all time.
The go to album for all things boredom and masturbation. It may not be all rock, but it’s definitely filled to the brim with bangers I liked in my high school years.
I have no idea why, but for an album that nobody has ever seemed to have heard of this thing slaps.
Nice to hear some of the stuff Muddy Waters was doing early in his career. The live album format also suits him well.
I like the Kinks, but this one just didn’t have as many bangers as the last ones. Still a good effort overall.
I know she’s pretty popular and all, but I’m just not a big fan of her style of pop music.
I’ve listened to one song off of here before, but I had no idea it was a shoegaze album. Pretty good as far as that genre is concerned!
An album that makes sense given who made it, but has a level of pretentiousness that you just hate to see.
Its gay, but guess what it’s pride month. Killer Queen also slaps bro.
Ever wonder what it would be like if the child from the wild thornberry’s made a song? Because that’s on here baby!
I was surprised to see that T. Rex did folk before this album. Very pop friendly album that I found inoffensive enough.
No track really stood out here, because they didn’t have to. Sigur Rós has created probably one of the most perfect dreamscapes of songs that blend together for maximum atmosphere. Definitely worth a listen!
It was okay. Simple but nice enough.
Not terrible, but it felt like bad Bowie.
Wow I’ve been getting a whole lot of uninteresting ones lately. A mix of folk and psychedelic music that just doesn’t quite land for me.
This is just the right amount of girl angst for me. Reminiscent of No Doubt, but just a little more grunge than Gwen Stefani would go. Giving it more stars because of how bland some of these recent albums have been.
You know, the thing about Emerson, Lake, and Palmer is that they’re not fun to listen to. So excited to have my second album by them!!
I actually liked it more than a lot of the medieval sounding folk music. I don’t know why but something about the guitar work and the way his vocals mixed well.
As a white dude who grew up in the 2000’s it is my duty to like this album. Mr. Brightside is quite literally our national anthem.
Honestly this wasn’t bad. I like his voice here, but I can’t take the guy with lifelong frosted tips who wrote Do Ya Think I’m Sexy seriously.
I know I made fun of nu-metal on here recently, but Linkin Park really do be hitting different. Love ya Chester, you were always a real one.
At first I thought it was funny that the lead singer described her work as Clit Rock, but when I listened to this I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I don’t think this work ever truly got much attention, but I am very happy that I got the chance to hear it.
Probably the most consequential work by the Who. Fantastic classic rock record all around. Baba O’Riley is such a great intro it’s hard not to love everything that comes after.
Don’t Know Why has definitely been one of my favorite songs I’ve discovered this year. This is the perfect album for just relaxing with. I’m happy I got to listen to it!
My all time favorite Wilco album. The back half of this album from Jesus etc. onward is just banger after banger. I Am Trying to Break Your Heart was also my most listened to song of 2018. I honestly couldn’t be happier seeing this album here.
I don’t envy the person adding albums to this list, because I feel like no matter what you do people are going to hate it lol. I’ve never been a huge Lana Del Rey fan, but this album was okay. I’m interested to see if they included Norman Fucking Rockwell on this list because I hear that one is just a better album.
I was wondering if we’d get this album again. I don’t think I really appreciated just how unique this thing is the first time through. The White Stripes are so good at making really grungy complex pieces with only 2 instruments that anything less than 5 stars here feels wrong to me.
I’ve heard better from the Beatles. It’s not bad, but Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s were definitely better.
I would like to know just how many guitars Megadeth break per show by absolutely shredding as hard as they do.
I love the brown Eminem. She is so cool. I would like it very much if she stepped on me. We stan the green Eminem actually. F**k the brown Eminem. The artist Eminem is good also. This music was nice!
I’ve gotten a lot of good albums lately, and am feeling generous so fuck it… 4 stars babyyyyy.
I think I like her better angsty like this than I did during Let England Shake. There were still some weird parts though that are hard to get over.
I’m going to be fair to Ella Fitzgerald here. I gave 69 Love Songs 4 stars for being an ungodly length and I’ll do the same for her. But damn I hope there’s not another one of these in here.
I’ve definitely heard worse post-punk before. Not an awful listen.
Pretty sweet if you ask me. I need to give it another listen once I’m not on vacation.
I can’t decide if I like The Suburbs or Funeral more. Both of these albums are so fantastic for they’re own reasons. But sitting outside listening to this one is such a vibe I have to give it 5-stars.
Maybe I need to listen to more beach boys, but this just feels like an old dude releasing music way past his prime.
Nice for latin themed background noises but not much more.
Basically everything you want in a Pixies album. It’s weird and messy, but something about songs like Where Is My Mind? is just classic.
About the same as the other Happy Mondays album on this list. Probably going to forget I ever heard it.
Whoever thought it would be funny to put a 2 hour trip hop album on this list is going straight to hell. How this genre is a big thing in England I’ll never understand.
Love the Welsh representation. Crazy to hear that one member of this band just straight up disappeared after release. Although given how edgy the lyrics are I can’t say I’m surprised.
Kind of upbeat and jazzy. Not a bad listen.
Starts weird and trip hoppy but mellows out well by the end.
I actually liked glam rock David Bowie quite a bit. Not to mention the cover is probably the most famous rock and roll cover art ever.
I always liked Lorde a bit more than Lana Del Rey. Green Light was a bop plus there were some other good songs to make this sad white girl album worth it.
Really the same as the other Rod album. Still a sucker for his voice though.
I’ve heard worse out of new wave.
Probably Led Zeppelin’s most famous album. Super unique album that feels ahead of its time, but just all around good shit from these guys.
I had always assumed Franz Ferdinand was a one hit wonder, but it’s nice to see they have other good songs.
Meh.
I actually really like it when rap albums have skits in them like this one. I also enjoyed his flow, but don’t see myself taking any songs from this one.
It’s pretty cool that he could make such upbeat jazz music despite being persecuted by the Nigerian government. I also love seeing an album in Pidgin lol.
It’s a good thing American Pie is 10 minutes long because it honestly is the only exciting thing on this album.
I feel like some of these albums would be so much better around the time they were released. Early punk just feels like punk to me, but back then this must’ve been a whole new thing.
50 cent does have some good rhymes in here, but I guarantee this is going to be one of those albums that anyone in the future will not see the value in
Little Richard has that perfect 50’s voice where he’s just wailing into the mic, and I’m honestly here for it.
There were 2 songs in here that surprised me, but otherwise it’s about what I expected.
What could be worse than The Fall’s debut except The Fall’s 15th studio album? Seriously though, the first one was enough damn.
As weird as the Talking Heads style can be, they do a great job transitioning from one track to the next. It really helps make the album feel good imo.
Not as in-your-face British as I thought it would be.
For an album full if covers he sure puts his all into it. Not something I can fully grasp from the first time around, but definitely an album I enjoyed.
One of the most classic rock albums there are. Thoroughly enjoyable all the way till the end.
Another classic. I don’t like it as much as the other works by The Rolling Stones I’ve been given, but Paint it Black is so good.
I don’t think Queen really became Queen till Sheer Heart Attack, but this album still bops when it needs to.
This is the kind of music I’d expect an angsty atheist to make. The vocals aren’t my thing, and kinda cringe. The one saving grace of this album is definitely the guitars, because that shit goes hard.
I’m not really smart enough to know why Nine Inch Nails’ version of industrial metal is so much better than Ministry’s, but it just kind of is.
A love supreme gets -1 points for not being giant steps, and +1 points for being fantastic jazz music. This was really good music to just have on in the background!
Not really something I’ll probably ever listen to again, but also not terrible.
Yacht rock is so odd. It’s like a mix of genre’s that kinda of blend together, but it just doesn’t feel right to me.
Classic album that just makes you want to be happy. I’m glad I could finally get classic Beach Boys after skirting around it for 500 albums.
Doesn’t go as hard as other Talking Heads albums, but the same vibe is all there.
Would be a lot better if I knew French.
Took me over 500 albums, but I finally got a Radiohead album. Not their best work, but man do I love these guys.
Why does every English synth-pop band feel like they have the same lead singer?? Some good tracks in here, but the genre itself is just so… meh.
Name a more classic duo than me getting 90’s English electronic music, and thinking it’s a giant pile of shit.
I didn’t like Pulp when I first heard Different Class, but after listening to Common People a bunch I’m really starting to appreciate them as an off brand Blur.
David Bowie was really something special. The way he could make quality albums well into his 60’s is such a rare thing to find. Rest in peace king.
It’s all about Sympathy for the Devil in this one for me. But damn do The Rolling Stones get it right here.
I like political rap, but you really have to focus in on the lyrics and I was not lol. Fight the Power is a great song, and the album cover is super cool.
Worth it, but only for Baby I love your way.
Probably the most iconic album released in it’s genre. I can’t think of a single britpop song that had more staying power than Wonderwall.
This album’s only saving grace was the 30 seconds where it reminded me of the Terraria soundtrack. A fantastic game that I had a fantastic time playing with the homies.
When most people take inspiration from another artist, they don’t feel the need to make references to them in every song of a double album. I liked the little intro into Wallace, but other than that I would rather be listening to Lynerd Skynerd.
This album started exactly how I wanted electronica to be, upbeat and energetic. After Porcelain it just fell off so hard for me man. I wish he made more songs like the first couple and less like everything else.
I don’t have a good reason for it, but this is probably my favorite Bob Dylan album so far.
Just felt like a generic glam rock album that no one has ever heard of.
I think this would’ve been a but better if I sat down and read the lyrics. It’s hard to hear the political aspect over the ac units at work.
Conceptually I love the idea of the album. I think a Christian conservative fascist America is about as relevant as when this album first released. However, this genre is soooo hard to listen to.
I’m actually really happy to hear an English Folk band that has a woman as it’s lead singer instead of a dude trying sing like a woman. I’m surprised by how common that one is with these bands.
Not my favorite Kinks album, but they’re never bad tbh.
Talk about effeminate voices. Wish I could get into Nick Drake more, but I’m just not that interested.
I honestly don’t know what to give this album so consider it a 2.5 that rounded up.
This is classic cowboy stuff. Big Iron especially makes me want to get shot to death in a duel.
Mid range synth pop in my opinion.
It’s not a bad album, I do wish that discovery or random access memories were on here instead. I’ll give it credit for being the first time we were introduced to Daft Punk.
Marvin Gaye has certainly made more people have sex than any other artist in history. For that, he has rightfully earned his place on this list.
This would be a lot better if he didn’t feel like he was trying so hard. No New Yorker has ever sounded like this, ever.
I wasn’t expecting this album at all. I’ve never heard rock music from Mali, but I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it!
I didn’t know Joy Division only ever released two full albums. Not bad.
It did feel kind of generic, but it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve listened to on here.
I like seeing The War on Drugs on here. Lyrically there’s not much going on, but the sonics and background are awesome.
I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would, but it’s still not music I’d seek out.
The cover made me think this was going to be a country album. I was surprised to see psychedelic, but not super interested.
One of the most tacky 80’s things I have listened to yet. This album was made for people in 1989 exclusively.
Speaking of 80’s. An album that’s probably only noteworthy for Take on Me.
The Beastie Boys are so unique in their style of rap that I can’t help but enjoy them being just being themselves.
There is definitely something to be said about making an album so complex it intentionally sounds awful. I don’t know enough about music to give this one much praise, but it is definitely unique in how off the walls it goes.
Luckily not as gloomy as I was expecting.
Both bluesy and psychedelic. Not a combo I see often, but as always the Doors make it work.
Definitely a punk album.
I just genuinely did not like his voice.
Normally I’m okay with even the mediocre punk albums on this list, but this album is probably the most incel shit I’ve ever listened to. Sitting through “I’m Straight” and “Girlfriend” was almost unbearable. Why do these girls never go for guys like me????
Probably one of the most recognizable cover arts ever. Great album that I was elated to listen to for the first time!
I like everything Eno produced, but for some reason I’m just not that into his own music.
It’s crazy how much I enjoy Radiohead even when they weren’t being particularly groundbreaking. This album had so many good songs that it filled my sad boy heart with joy.
Very typical old school country. I found it pleasant, but that’s about it.
I liked Born to Run, so I’m definitely going to like Born in the USA. The hits on this one are massive.
British person discovers France for the first time. The results will shock you.
Some good old classic rock on here. Not a bad listen overall.
Probably my favorite thing with Eric Clapton in it yet, but it could’ve been a tad bit shorter.
I don’t need the whole album for a one-hit wonder, I could just listen to There She Goes.
Babylon has definitely been one of my favorite songs I’ve discovered this year, but sad guy with guitar songs only get me so far.
Wasn’t really paying any attention to this one.
Not every song on here is my favorite, but leave it to Bowie to go out in style. I can’t think of a cooler way he could’ve cemented his legacy as one of the greats.
If nothing else I do respect Metallica’s guitar work.
I think rap more than any genre is so language dependent. I hear rap is super easy in languages like Korean, but I have no idea what it’s like in French. I can tell MC Solaar did a great job with his rhyming regardless.
As Tina Turner said I gotta show some respect. Here’s 3 stars queen.
Man even in his final years Johnny Cash could still pour his heart into his work. I know a lot of these are covers, but he really does make each song feel like his own.
Mediocre, but that was expected tbh.
I thought this was going to be more African, but it’s just good jazz music lol.
Bands that start with the have really gone too far when they start calling themselves the the.
This website must’ve known it was my birthday or else it wouldn’t have given me my queen. I’m honestly shocked that this list decided on evermore instead of folklore, despite this one basically being the b-sides to the other. It’s especially tragic given folklore is one of her most acclaimed albums she ever made. I’ll still give it 5-stars, but I’m disappointed.
Man and I thought I was happy to see Taylor Swift. One of my all time favorite albums. It’s an anxiety ridden, turn of the century, experimental masterpiece. It’s pretentious, but damn does it justify itself by how hard it slaps. So happy to finally see it on this list.
Usually noisy music appeals to me but there was some added disturbance here that just annoyed me.
I thought this one was 40 songs long, but was very happy to learn it was 10. Awesome!
Kind of sounded like Elliot Smith if he was just ever so slightly more annoying. I did like the chill vibes on this one though.
Love the album cover. I also haven’t had a disco album in a while which was a nice change of pace.
Probably the best white guy goes to Africa album I’ve been given yet. Graceland is an awesome song complimented by a whole host of other good ones.
I love the idea of this album. Each member did such a good job of bringing their own style to their respective part. I took a break in between and treated this like two different albums. It definitely helped make the whole experience feel shorter and more reasonable.
I have nothing bad to say against this album, but I’m also not crazy for the beach boys.
I enjoyed the punk and metal elements of this album, but that singer’s voice was just too depressing for me man.
Not my favorite Sonic Youth album by a long shot, but a good marker of what was to come.
Still wild to me that a guy could just go missing. It doesn’t seem like the band had too hard a time without him.
I’m going to be honest… I don’t hate this as much as I think I should. The parts where they’re really channeling the Talking Heads aren’t completely awful. However, there are lots of weird experimental segments in this album that can be a hard listen.
Yeah it’s not the worst thing I’ve heard.
Britpop is honestly not awful, but unless it’s something that is recognizable outside of that island I don’t really want to see it.
I cannot give this album enough praise for inspiring indie rock in the 2000’s. Really kicked off one of my favorite genres. Even the album itself had so many bangers it’s hard not to love.
So far Alone Again Or is really the only song by Love doing it for me.
Man two psychedelic albums in a row. At least the last one had the decency to not be extremely British in my ears. I found that voice super annoying my god.
As much as this album was pretentious, good on Mike Oldfield for writing a 40+ min song and just rolling with it.
As much as I dislike that effeminate folk voice of his, big points to Tim Buckley for throwing everything out the window and deciding he was going to change genres. That takes a lot of skill to pull off well.
Honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. I think I might have a soft spot for 80’s r&b.
I never could’ve imagined a grime album would be on this list, let alone the possibility that I would actually enjoy it. Some good tunes on this one.
I honestly think I should like. PJ Harvey more than I do, but I just can’t seem to get into her. At the same time, including Thom Yorke in an album is definitely an easy way to win my favor.
Probably the best argument I’ve heard to come to Brazil yet.
Wow an album that’s almost all songs by my least favorite artists! So cool!!
Faith based southern rap makes so much sense that I’m surprised this is the only album I’ve ever heard do it. I don’t mind it, but the rapping here just doesn’t pique my interest.
This is one of the few Radiohead albums that I never really gave a listen. It just feels like the B-sides to Kid A, an album that’s intentionally weird and hard to listen to. This album has its moments, but it’s definitely not my favorite from them.
This was a genuinely really good album. Nas has an excellent grasp on the English language, and manages to create complex bars that feel decades ahead of his time.
I like my funk music just a bit louder and more upbeat than this.
Yeah its just whatever bro.
Not a single song on here was interesting.
I was worried in the beginning that she would be talk singing the entire time, but it mellowed out over time. Not bad.
U2 had some hits with this one. They’re definitely a good listen, but for some reason I don’t want to give them 4 stars lol
Chill, funky, and groovy. I dig it.
Finally got to this one after a string of youtube only albums. I like Joni Mitchell’s songwriting a lot. If she ever puts her music back on spotify I need to remind myself to add Coyote and Blue Motel Room to my playlist.
Man I wish I was more i to the Wu-Tang Clan just because their opening skits are so funny.
I find it hard not to enjoy albums made by the temptations.
The Prodigy just is not the same when smack my bitch up being in the album.
I don’t know what makes this electronic album so different, but this is probably my favorite one yet. The beats didn’t bore me once throughout the whole thing. Very pleased!
So very, very cheesy. However, I also used to listen to Bon Jovi in my mom’s car on the way to school so I have some emotional connectivity with this bs.
I’ve only listened to Black Hole Sun beforehand, but my god is this album so much more impressive than I realized. Really happy I got the chance to listen to it.
The only white guy converts to Islam story you’ll ever need. Masallah brother.
Short, sweet, and bluesy. It’s hard to not enjoy Creedence Clearwater Revival when everything they come out with is like this.
Muse is probably the only band high school me loved that I just can’t stand anymore. It’s angsty and all, but it has an air of pretentious-ness around it that it doesn’t deserve.
Finally I got an REM album. No 80-90’s nostalgia trip is complete without these dudes. It’s the End of the World as we Know it is also my favorite song by them, if not one of my all time faves.
I think prog rock is honestly just a little too weird for me. Sorry Peter Gabriel.
Now this is what U2 is known for. The last 2 songs felt weirdly quiet but everything else was alright.
For shoegazing this is honestly pretty good. Love the dreamy vibe of this one.
I’m convinced this album isn’t real. Even Wikipedia doesn’t show it in her discography. I listened to some of her other music instead and it was honestly not bad.
Honestly there’s too much Beatles in this, but I liked how different the first and last songs were. Way to switch it up.
Wow the website realized it hadn’t given me the Beatles in a while and decided I needed it twice. They weren’t like crazy experimental yet but they weren’t bad either. Somewhere between a 3 and a 4.
I’m soooooooooo happy that another Divine Comedy Album is on this list.
Finnish glam rock? More like, I’m finnished listening to this bullshit.
I think the thing about house and electronica that I’m not getting is that it gets better the closer to modern music it gets. I really don’t like 90’s house but this was enjoyable.
I love REM as much as the next alt kid, but murmur really didn’t have as many of those big hits some of those other albums had. I love Radio Free Europe though.
The White Stripes have such a cool style man. These guys work better with 2 instruments than many of the other bands I’ve heard on here could do with a full band.
I just can’t say I’m a fan of the genre. The guitar work is cool but it can be a hard listen. The album art is very good if you enjoy body horror as well.
This album was as good as a zombie game where you would sacrifice women for gun upgrades. Definitely would listen again!!!
Yeah this album will absolutely not destroy rock and roll.
It’s interesting that the first Foo Fighters album is so incredibly different because it was entirely made by Dave Grohl. For one man he really put his artistic talent to use here. Great grunge/rock album.
This album was pretty inescapable growing up, but it really is good. Adele has a fantastic voice capable of carrying the tradition of sad girl break-up albums.
I love the title track, but this album kind of suffers the same problem a lot of electronic albums. It might be it’s length, but all the songs just blend together at some point. Still a cool idea conceptually though.
One of those albums that feels more important for creating a genre, and bot a fun listen. I like David Crosby, but psychedelic kind of sucks.
I love me some Britney, but the teen pop craze was definitely a darker part of music history.
I think I had my volume on a little too lOw to enjoy this one. I do like the idea of this being the first rock album. Seems fitting for some reason.
This album was really just good for 1 single for a one hit wonder.
Pretty mellow, creepy at times, folk music. I liked the vibe but I wish more of the songs stood out to me.
I am a fan of smack my bitch up, which is really the only thing any album really needs tbh.
The music was alright, but what the hell was Jerry doing with seven wives lmao. My man was playing.
Kinda weird but I still vibed to it anyway.
Even at his best he’s just not for me ig. Shame because I do like folk music.
I think I like this one better than License to Ill. But it’s certainly on par with Ill Communication. I dig it.
REM, more like… this shit slaps.
Quality shit from a quality man.
I have a real soft spot for angsty 90’s women apparently. Courtney Love’s band had some real hits back in the day.
I wish I understood how spotify can have some, but not all of an artist’s work. Listening on youtube was a pain for what was ultimately a forgettable work.
Honestly the soul/jazz addition worked nicely for Bowie.
Fantastic. Loved it. Quality.
I love me some Willie Nelson. Neat take on pop covers.
Why is old school country so chill. It’s honestly the only time this genre is really worth exploring.
A little less indie rock and more trip hoppy than I would’ve liked. Still, not bad.
As weird as I had assumed it would be.
Still not a fan of peasant music. Also sitars have never made folk sound better.
I can’t think of a single song off of here that I dislike. And that’s saying something given that there are 21 songs in here.
One of those albums you don’t even notice go on loop because it’s so dull and repetitive.
I really hope songs for the deaf is on here, because this is definitely not qotsa’s best or most famous work.
Jazz that would make Disney’s Soul proud.
Probably the most basic 90’s rock I’ve had in a while on this list, but I’ve heard so much weirdo shit that this is a welcome reprieve.
Jazz and African music is honestly the one of the best combos for international music. I love to see Fela Kuti once again appear and crush this performance.
I just like Alex Turner’s voice on here, but these songs are definitely not as interesting as the Arctic Monkeys.
Kind of reminiscent of to pimp a butterfly, but definitely more of an emphasis on just mixing jazz with rap. Love the style for sure.
A little weirder than the last one I had. Something about English folk music is just hard for me to enjoy.
Fast car is probably one of the best songs ever written about poverty it’s really just so good. I loved that a lot of this album felt so genuine to her as well. So good.
Not as bad as Trafalgar I guess, but they really were a bad Beatles rip off. I just can’t see the Bee Gees ever releasing something special until disco is invented.
RHCP were always kinda weirdos, but when they slap they really do hit hard. I’m never upset seeing these guys on this list.
Honestly the live album format only works with r&b and jazz so far. None of the rock outfits to do it have really pulled it off (still waiting to hear Nirvana’s mtv unplugged).
Was never the biggest Mariah Carey stan. This album never really hits the energy of All I want for Christmas to it’s own detriment as well.
I think it’s so funny that one of the members of CSN&Y got so into the civil war that he made a double album about Manassas Virginia lmao.
Booooooooooooorrrriiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggg (as compared to the 5 other albums I listened to today)
I think I’m in a bit of a lull, because I’ve been finding a lot of stuff kind of boring recently. Oh well, at least I have other ways of finding music lol.
At points super weird, and yet at some other times it was almost pleasant? Don’t really know what to make of it.
California Dreamin’ is and forever will be a bop.
Average American Folk music. I liked it, but couldn’t find anything special about it.
Interesting to hear what the Beatles would sound like if they did American folk music. Also rip Crosby man you showed up more times on this list than almost anyone.
Weird. Annoying. British. Cringe. Boring. Need I say more?
One of those basic punk albums they like to throw on here from time to time
Better than the last punk album, in ways I’m not musically literate enough to tell you.
One of the most entertaining debut albums to ever be released, but it never hit me as hard as later beastie boys works.
I didn’t think it was awful, but something about the artist’s Wikipedia page having a whole section about child sex abuse is really putting me off.
Alright at first I wasn’t a fan, but I have to say that the style of rock Steely Dan makes has kind of grown on me. After listening to this I am fully convinced I need to rent out a yacht and start playing this on blast.
I think the actual album was shorter than I thought it was gonna be, which is nice. I wasn’t ready for 2 hours of music lol. Honestly on the cusp of 4/5 but I’m giving it a 3 anyway.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, that is what this album gets from me. Ya nailed it Aretha.
It was bland and I honestly can’t recall what the band even sounded like.
This thing was so good I just wish Neil Young was on Spotify so I can add him to my playlistttttt.
Pure punk excellence that you wouldn’t expect from anyone other than the clash. Absolute fire.
I wish the songwriter lived a bit longer so that cosmic american dream music could’ve been a genre that actually existed lol.
I’ll tell you hwat. Them Skynyrd boys sure do love causing a ruckus. *spits out chewing tobacco* eyup.
Love Morrissey, hate his voice. Is that what he means by viva hate? Nobody knows.
Hard to imagine Beyoncé ever not having enough star power to be a solo artist these days. Surprisingly I’m not a huge fan of Destiny’s Child but the album was okay.
I kind of go back and forth on how much I can separate the art from the artist. I don’t think Adams is a pedo (if the fbi investigation didn’t come up with anything), but I can see him being a sexual abuser. Which is a real shame because this album is a bop otherwise.
The pixies are very good at just making albums that have no low points. Every song kind of blends together, but it rocks the whole way through.
Could be more interesting tbh.
First album in a while where my initial reaction is almost entirely negative. If you wanna hear a drugged up white dude make jungle noises, whisper at you, do tribal chants, psps at you like a cat?, etc this is the album for you.
The 2000’s doesn’t really seem like the right place in time for classic punk rock albums, but it carves it’s own niche I guess. Hate to say I told you so is a good song too.
I think I’m really starting to get into the whole dreamy album type. Björk definitely sounds just as good on her own as she did with the sugarcubes.
I’m may be depressed, but I’ll never be Bauhaus depressed.
Pretty mid behavior to be the second band to just cover classic American blues songs. Probably why people remember The Rolling Stones and not Flamin’ Groovies.
Public Enemy has some fantastic album names. I also really enjoyed this one.
I was honestly surprised and saddened to see a environmental and political album from 1971 that still held true today. Crazy to hear from the Beach Boys too.
I love the instrumentals on the first track, after that I can really take it or leave it.
Really surprised by how much he changed his style between this and Sea Change. I can see why people praise him, but I definitely prefer the stoner folk style he has here.
Dusty has a really good voice, I have to give that to her. She’s good for an old school listen.
I like emo music, but not a huge fan of unintelligible lyrics.
Idk about this being #3 on best Australian albums of all time, I feel like I can think of a few better ones off the top of my head.
Finally, I can add a version of Smoke On The Water that’s not live and in Japan. For sure the highlight of this album.
Why are only 3 songs on the album in Spotify? Like… give me all or nothing please.
Van Halen really came out of the gates swinging with this one, because almost all of these songs just slap.
Pretty good, but outside of blue Joni Mitchell just never really held my interest. Still a decent listen though.
My Icelandic queen returns for what is ultimately less satisfying soundscapes than her debut (and post I imagine, but I haven’t listened to it yet).
Short and sweet songs for you and your baby girl to doo-wop to.
I feel like they were messing around with a few different genres here. Clear jazz, blues, and maybe even country at one point influences, but definitely rock. I want to listen to it again, but for now it’s okay.
It’s good, but not as memorable for me as the other Creedence albums have been.
Too 80’s and gothic for my taste, but My Corrosion’s choir vibes got me good.
Super similar to the previous album in that it’s extremely British and extremely 80’s.
I have no idea why I’ve been avoiding Neon Bible, because it’s about as good as Funeral and the Suburbs. Will definitely listen to again.
Literally sooooo whatever.
The only band I will ever let mix reggae and punk, and not shit on immediately is the Clash. And the Slits are definitely not the Clash.
I had absolutely no idea that the to be continued meme song came from Yes. I’m beyond speechless.
I have no respect for the critics who hated on this one. This thing is so consistently catchy for a double album it’s unbelievable.
One of those albums that gets old way to fast. Something about this peasant music kills me
I really have no idea who found this album or why they thought it was a must listen, because I honestly think I might be the only person to ever hear this thing.
Definitely indie music, but not really the kind I go gaga for. Still not bad I guess.
I do feel really bad for Nick Cave losing his son early. You can really feel his pain throughout the album, but I just am not a huge fan of his voice. Lyrics are beautiful though.
I like the blues and haven’t given a 5 in a second so why not. It’s cool to see the Black Keys were deemed worthy of a spot on this list.
This album has a perfect three and I won’t be the one to ruin it.
Not quite transformer, but it could be worse.
I love how controversial coldplay is on this list, but early coldplay is legitimately pretty good in my opinion.
I love the offspring so much if only because the lead singer has a phd and wants to teach when he retires from music. I couldn’t even imagine how awesome that class would be lmao.
Classic 60’s soul music
So funny to see a bollywood soundtrack on here. I kind of want to watch the movie just to get the full context of what is going on with this one.
Purple Rain is definitely one of the best album closers I’ve ever heard. Some other very 80’s songs on here that make this album pretty goated.
This thing was probably cheesy even when it was released. Debated giving it two stars, but it really doesn’t sound bad enough
Is this prog rock? Because it fees like prog rock.
One of my favorite radiohead albums. Absolutely thrilled to see it on this list.
Probably the best album to be influenced by tribal sounds thus far. Really compliments the jazz and funk.
The transition from one song to another is super smooth with this one. Nothing stands out to me, but it’s a vibe all the way through.
Kinda cool to hear something out of South Africa. Definitely a unique album!
The effects on the lead singers voice is annoying for the first 2 songs, but luckily they eventually dropped it. I've grown much more attached to screeching guitars and heavy, steady drum beats over my course of this list, both of which slap on this record. Kerosene is good, but I also love the chanting "HEY!" on Strange Things.
For the 70’s this feels kind of… outdated? There was some way crazier shit happening this decade than this album.
So classic that the only thing that would make it better would be to see RHCP perform it live with nothing but socks on their cocks.
This album was really helpful at teaching me that thin lizzy is Irish. The more you know I guess.
Boooooooooooooring
Some bits were super good, moments like free form guitar were too big brain for me probably.
Albums from the 2020’s are gonna be sketch af because none of them have any history yet, but I love her voice and she’s from Philly soooooooo… yeah.
Just some old school outlaw country. Not as hard hitting as marty robbins, but nothing ever is.
I just can’t handle the band name meat puppets, I’m sorry.
Spunky punky mmmmm
I liked on song of here, but otherwise it wasn’t my thing.
Tbh I liked it more than I expected. Kinda basic guitar/harmonica songs, but I’m a sucker for that anyway.
A tad too British for my liking at times, but nothing bad overall.
Pretty cool that the shortest album on here so far would be a 15 min album called group sex. Chill.
I can’t believe Kendrick Lamar really released an absolutely goated album like this and then followed it up with To Pimp a Butterfly. Love his work. 🔥🔥🔥
Them young rascals is at it again.
Most songs blend together, but I kind of like Priest’s take on metal.
Cool to hear Senegalese music, but I can’t say it’s my style.
Surprised me how different this one is from other Wu-Tang clan albums. Love to see that MF Doom had a part in making it too.
Good shit. reaaaaaaaal good shit.
Much too boring to be this long. Also I’ve listened to many of the psychedelic bands this guy helped found and I’m not a huge fan. Crazy that he attacked his bandmates with an ax, but that doesn’t really save this thing.
The Humpty Dance might be one of the dumbest songs I have ever heard (in a good way lmao). I can’t believe 2pac was part of this group.
Normally I’m all for indie music, but this one was a little too weird for me.
Not bad. A little to soft for my taste, but I can see why it’s enjoyable.
Far too long for me, but it is classic Miles Davis.
Kind of generic and inoffensive.
I feel like I could give this one another listen, but I really didn’t get much from the first go around.
I gotta say, after all this time I’m still not happy to see an album by The Fall. That level of consistency is really hard to match.
Pretty standard punk music, but I love the album cover.
It’s cool that an entire genre of music can be dedicated to big hair.
I’m noticing that outside their more humorous tracks I’m finding Aerosmith pretty mid.
Gotta say the highlight of this album has to be when my car gps interrupted it to tell me there was traffic ahead. Really slapped as a drop.
Somehow even harder to listen to than Trout Mask Replica. Almost impressive if it wasn’t so awful.
Don’t have much to say about this one, but compared to the last two albums it rocks lmao
Kate Bush is one of those artists where I don’t think I’ll like any of their music the first time around, but I can warm up to it over time.
Love the P-Funk inspired track at the end. Dr. Dre’s love of the chronic is very evident.
Everybody’s Talkin’ is good. I listen to Harry Nilsson’s cover after though, and I definitely liked it better.
More than a feeeeeeeeeeeeellliiiiiinnngggg
I like lupe fiasco (minus the whole 10 min shout out), but never really saw him as a must listen to artist.
Not a huge fan of psychedelic rock at this point in time not gonna lie.
Of course this site would give me the one glaring exception to, “I don’t like psychedelic music.” Right after I say that. Pink Floyd crushes it on this one.
Not the best argument for coming to Brazil.
I can definitely see how this music led to punk. Don’t know about the live format given I thought Starships was way too quiet.
White boy love songs that hit as hard as they need to.
Just a chill album. Didn’t find anything offensive or anything I liked.
Hot chip is an indie band I’ve been avoiding for a while, but honestly their music seems fun enough. Might give this another listen sometime in the future.
Everything about this album is weird, but not in a way where you can’t listen to it. Pretty impressive feat tbh.
Freedom! ‘90 is a goated ass song. The rest doesn’t matter.
It sounded different from run of the mill britpop, but I wasn’t going crazy for it either.
Normally against white people doing reggae but I feel like the police naming the whole album White Reggae is somehow self-aware enough to counter that. Plus I just like message in a bottle.
The sitar rock covers are dope, some songs dragged a little long for my taste though.
Looks like a lot of the Elvis Costello albums I’ve listened to were taken off Spotify but this one remained. Oh boy!
Pretty normal folk/country imo.
British music be like: the fockin Brighton Bois were havin a roight jammuh when they made one of me favorite albums bruv. Probably the fockin best album of all time lad. *proceeds to play an hour of lame house beats* Those Yankee bastuhds could nevuh bruv. *proceeds steal important cultural artifacts from colonial holdings and charges them to see it* Cheerio then.
I deem this average.
It’s funny that one if the defining works of Brazilian Bossa Nova was made by two dudes from the east coast. Good listen, but it felt a bit like elevator music to me.
A little more mellow than his next two album, but I can’t deny that this is a very good album.
This threw me back to a time when doing the longest yeah boi possible was a thing. I miss it dearly ngl.
One of those albums that I don’t know how they found, but it’s a good take on noise rock so I’m down with it.
It was mostly okay. Might be worth another listen, but I feel like it might tire quickly.
Not a huge Jay-z guy but it didn’t sound bad. Really this is a 3.5 but I’m giving it a 4 to remember it exists.
Whoever made this clearly likes Malian music, and honestly same.
West Africa is best Africa, but Mali will always be number one. Long live 🇲🇱
More like, no more specials, because I don’t really wanna hear more of this band.
Never really cared much for any Adele album that wasn’t 21. Just couldn’t really get into it for some reason.
Not a lot of ladies in the hiphop game during the 80’s, so I gotta give that to her.
Upbeat and enjoyable in all the right ways.
Too much spoken word for me. Otherwise it was alright.
Good thing Our House was on Spotify because the rest of this sure wasn’t.
Not interested in this one chief.
The title track was pleasant.
Old school Courtney Love is actually pretty good. Lots of good grungy punk songs to jam to on this one.
I can’t remember anything about this one so it must be good.
The first song really shows she had good potential, but most of this album is a snooze dest.
Not even critics like this fucking album. I swear to god it’s only on here because of Nick Cave, an artist I barely tolerate at this point.
It was okay, but knowing it was the precursor to a lot of albums I didn’t like bothers me.
Say what you want about Jeff Buckley, as long as it is how good his voice sounds. I love how the songs build on this. Rip king.
This album is what helped me get into rap. It’s insane how many influences Kendrick Lamar drew from, and it all comes together so well. There’s maybe 2-3 songs that I’m not crazy for on here, but it’s a damn consistent album throughout.
It’s so weird to hear Captain Beefheart behaving like a normal band after listening to Trout Mask Replica. They can honestly make not freakish music too.
Someone on here suggested the Christian Life was satire. If that’s the case it’s really well done lol.
This isn’t bad if you want something more atmospheric, but that’s generally not my thing. Not bad all things considered though.
It’s cool to see there was an album so closely tied to The Soft Bulletin. It’s not quite the flaming lips, but I appreciated it nonetheless.
I like that it comes from a mix of cultures I haven’t really heard yet, but the only song on here I can really get into is Paper Planes.
I like the rock fusion here, it just made this more upbeat jazz music.
I think I already listened to a mudhoney album but I literally can’t remember. It’s just decent grunge.
Not a memorable one.
Too quiet for me, but I haven’t heard a Canadian country band before.
Sometimes I forget Ice T was an actual rapper. This album was surprisingly progressive on gay rights for a 1991 rap album.
Honestly I just like my words a little more intelligible. Sounded like the kid from the wild thornberries half the time.
Very much a classic. Very enjoyable. Very good.
I think this is the first time I’ve had a completely a cappella album. African vibes were chill all the way through. Extra points for uniqueness!
I expected an album from a band called Adam & The Ants to be a lot weirder than this tbh.
What’s ip with the early 90’s being the era of female singer/songwriters? First Tori Amos and Liz Phair, now this. Pretty good but not the biggest album in that mix.
It hasn’t all aged particularly well but it’s a very nostalgic album for me anyway. The only Eminem album I like more is the Eminem Show, but I don’t know if it’s on this list.
I love the vibe of this one. Don’t know if it’s funk or soul, but it is a good listen.
Is it cheesy? Yeah it is, however I have a soft soot for this genre. So whatever homeslice.
Say what you want about Michael Jackson, but the man knew how to pack hits into an album.
Not as obnoxious as I thought it would be for an album that helped shape hard rock music.
A lot less stuffy than I was expecting for a band that came out of Joy Division. Will need to give another listen when I get the chance.
Seems like every generation has a version of girl pop star who appeals to the gays. Catchy songs and more mellow than lady gaga.
Good RnB. Idk if Blonde is on this list, but I already know I’m going to like that one too.
An easy listen. Kind of whiny, but still easy to listen to.
This genre was not made for me
Simon & Garfunkel were already so good man they did not need to pack this one so full of hits.
I think I just like country women, but it seems to me that a lot of people doing this list are not fans of the genre.
Cool jazz, a little different than similar albums in the genre. Just goes a bit too long for my taste.
I know this sounds a bit discriminatory at this point, but they British accent is not helping here.
Not as pretentious as I thought it would be. I found it enjoyable!
Why am I the only guy who’s listened to this one lmao?
Honestly the singer’s disinterested voice is what makes this album for me. Plus the band being unable to finish the album because of how disinterested they were is great. Big props the reviewer who called it a shambling wreck in a positive sense lol.
I think I’m finally getting used to Tom Waits’ voice. His humor is really on full display with this one. Really great album.
Sometimes the words got lost behind the instrumentals, but it kind of gave it a nice noise rock vibe.
I found this to be… whatever.
MIA has such an interesting way of making beats. I think I like it, but it’s kind of hard to tell from one go around.
I think I might like 3 more than 4, but its a tough call.
I’m a be real for this one. I had it on in the background of me playing league so it didn’t really register
Honestly I did like this one a lot more than sgt peppers. I don’t know if it’s a 5 star yet, but if I kept listening to it I’m sure it would get there.
Was fine at first, but as soon as the glitchy chipmunk voice became a stable I was not having it.
I was surprised to learn Marvin Gaye had at least 15 albums when he still died so young. This was a good one, sad he had to get divorced to make it.
Could easily chill at the beach while listening to the sounds of Cuba.
Kind of reminds me of the Violent Femmes the way the singer sounds like she’s having an anxiety attack when she sings. I could see myself getting into the band, but not the album (since it’s not on Spotify).
It would be tolerable if it wasn’t so long, and if the voice in the last song wasn’t so annoying.
I loved the song I Kill Children, almost as much as I liked Lets Lynch the Landlord. Super sick.
Never listened much to Jack White’s post white stripes stuff, but this album was legitimately fun. Good listen.
I’m a little upset that this album was picked over cookie mountain, which is much more popular than it, but whatever.
Crackhead move to bring back hair metal in the 2000’s, but the album is fun regardless if The Darkness are one hit wonders or not.
Björk is pretty good with atmospheric stuff. Not anything I’d listen to normally, but I still enjoy her sound.
There’s something to be said about an artist’s last work before they die, and what the work they chose to leave us with. This is up there with Johny Cash and David Bowie as a fantastic album from a man who knew the end was near.
I don’t understand how this is country rock when it just sounds like country? I think I’m missing something.
Not as unintelligible as some punk albums, but not as hard hitting as Dead Kennedy’s were.
Didn’t have any songs that excited me as much as Band on the Run. Might be worth another listen, but 3 for now.
I don’t think it’s particularly impressive, but there are some songs I like here. Lemon Firebrigade in particular hits right.
Made me sad that I wasn’t currently at the beach.
Usually I feel like I don’t like krautrock, but something about this album was more fun to me than the genre usually is. Should be a 3.5 that I might listen to again.
Kind of punk, but not? Idk it’s one of those albums that nobody has ever heard of, but is still on this list for some reason.
Was extremely disappointed that it wasn’t the original Giant Steps. Album was fine, but it wasn’t the song I enjoyed in college.
Genius indeed. Ray Charles is one of those guys who was made to be on this list.
Thank god this list is almost over so I don’t have to listen to the asinine number of Elvis Costello albums anymore.
Not as obnoxious as I normally find psychedelic music, but that’s probably thanks to David Crosby.
I think Neil Young is probably the most goated of the crosby, stills, and nash gang.
I think Brian Eno should just stick with producing because I do not enjoy his music all that much.
For all of Sail Away’s achievements it would still be two years till audiences eagerly awaited thirsts for Randy Newman saying the N-word would finally be quenched.
Would be better if there actually was a movie to go with this for context. Kinda flubbed until the man with the golden arm.
Not interested in this one.
The music itself was fine, but this album was a real pain in the ass to find. Even youtube didn’t have a high quality version of every song on here.
It suffers from the melodrama that bad new wave annoys me with.
Man I just think Alice Cooper isn’t very original or interesting rock music
I don’t care for Billy Bragg and his whole, “Every song needs to be about a union” shtick, but damn do I love Wilco.
I like Kings of Leon just fine, but they were never a band I would describe as a “must listen”. It’s things like this that make me think the people who made this list never really understood the 2000’s onward.
Maybe I’m just cynical right now, but I feel like glam rock can’t be good unless you’re there in person. Half the appeal is the crazy outfits they’re wearing.
Honestly, probably the best love album I’ve listened to after Sam Cooke. I don’t have the patience for the full 2 hr expanded addition, but the original tracks were great. Jazz also lends itself to the format much better than rock does.
This is just too low energy for me to imagine going to a rave and listening to this music. I really think the technology for raves was just nonexistent until like 2010.
Honestly more impressed than I had thought I would be. Love the album cover too. Those Elvis’ in the background were jamming.
For some reason it's just super hard to find a full recording of this album, but definitely worth it. I haven't heard of Abdullah Ibrahim, but his jazz flows soooo smooth.
Good punk needs to be both high in energy and super loose. Ramones created this standard and set it high for punk music with their debut effort. A great 30 min ride in 14 tracks.
It doesn’t sound awful, but a lot of britpop on here feels so mediocre.
I’m so over this genre. So far it’s had 3-4 albums worth listening to out of countless drivel. 1000 albums can’t come fast enough.
This is so beyond awful that I actually think it’s hilarious. It made rap out of just a white British guy talking with an exaggerated accent. Quality bruv.
Kinda cheesy, but I liked it more than I thought I would.
Still not a fan of it, however I can appreciate the use of Indian culture in here that is lacking in every other trip hop album that’s had the audacity of being on this list.
David Bowie collabs are always nice. Need to listen to a few of these again when I’m not at the airport.
I can totally see how this created punk music, but I’m a little sad to get Iggy Pop two days in a row.
Looked up the movie plot for context, and Air does a good job setting a haunting tone for what seems like a fucked up movie.
I find it interesting how much 90-00’s commercial girl pop is on this list, but Jesus was this album long.
One of the last great live albums so far. Really sad to think this is Cobain’s last work, but he even makes the covers work for him.
The genre is too moody for me, but if anyone could make it work it’s Joy Division. Good album albeit a bit brooding.
Better than Fever to Tell which is already a fantastic album. Cool stuff.
Very different album than usual. The album title is also awesome lol.
Not as good as lil simz, but also not as obnoxious as I assumed it would be. I just have a hard time taking rap seriously when it’s coming with an english accent I guess.
I thought blues, hip hop, and rock was a strange combination, but after listening to this album I realize it is actually an awful combination.
Tom waits is definitely an interesting character. His voice sounds like nails on chalkboard, but somehow it grows on you. I hate to say it, but the more I listen the more I appreciate him.
Nice to finally see Blur’s most famous song in here. This album had a couple other hits, but I might need to give it another listen before going off on 5 stars.
A fun album, but probably not a particularly inspiring one. Still can’t hate on it though.
Feels like modern elevator music or maybe something you’d hear in like a coffeehouse.
You can tell I'm a big XTC fan, since I completely forgot they had another album on this list. I was absolutely ecstatic to hear their 13th effort. So ecstatic in fact, that I waited over 100 albums to bother listening to it. After giving it a listen all I can say is this: okay? The music feels like it could be interesting and distinct, but most of the time the actual sound just falls flat. Probably going to forget this one just as soon as the other XTC album.
It was short, but filled with good listens. It’s been a while since I got their debut but I should relisten and see how they compare.
NERD always felt a bit underground despite having Pharrell Williams in it. Definitely happy to get to listen to some of their stuff.
Fucking sick album cover, music is as punkish as I expected.
The music is okay, but I think Work It is just overplayed at this point.
Maybe Justin Timberlake is an accurate representation of what was popular in the early 2000’s, but something about it just feels wrong? I wouldn’t say his music has particularly aged well or really influenced anything that came after. It feels more like the result of saturated boy band culture than anything.
I can’t tell if I like this album because it’s good or because I just like radiohead. Cool experiment, but some songs don’t really hit for me.
The guitar was great, but the voice was much whinier than I was expecting for a punk album.
I don’t think this is bad because it’s noise rock, I think it’s bad because it’s just fucking weird. There have been plenty of decent noise rock albums on this list.
Man I love a lot of the other works from these guys, which is why it’s kind of disappointing that this one is so mid.
I had assumed this one was going to be a lot weirder but it was just kind of normal.
Very 80’s but sick album cover.
I like her voice but the album kind of suffers because it sounds a bit samey.
I love Gol Scott-Heron’s voice it’s perfect for this kind of jazz poetry.
Not quite as good as in the court of king crimson, but still not terrible as far as prog rock goes.
Prog Jazz is definitely a new combination. Good at times, but not my thing.
It’s ambient music, which isn’t what I’m looking for. I guess it’s nice if you want something in the background but It just doesn’t feel important.
It’s crazy how versatile the piano is as an instrument. Super cool to see a one instrument album.
A pop album that never really took off. I don’t understand how you can justify pop on here unless it had that universal appeal.
I just like Sonic Youth’s style I think.
Like Bjorn, but weirder and not as famous. I do like this album cover though.
Didn’t really hit me as hard as roots rock normally does. Might need to give the title track another listen, but overall not great.
There’s no one else like Tom Waits who can sound so terrible, yet somehow has me actually enjoying his music.
Funny thing to follow up Tom Waits. Beach House has always been good at making very melodic music. This is my first time with this album, but it holds up as much as the rest of them.
Not as boring as I had assumed it was going to be. Dance gave me major DJ Crazy Times vibes.
Decent enough punk music. Not really something I’m going to listen to again.
Really easy to listen to jazz, made for a really enjoyable listen. Soooooooo yeah.
A kind of experimental noise rock that never piqued my interest.
I think by at least 900 albums I have discovered that I am not a fan of 1+ hrs of spacey house music. Not unlistenable, but certainly not good.
I can’t tell if Traffic has appeared on here before or not, which must mean they are one of those bands I didn’t care anout.
Cmon man, by now I thought I’d be through all the stinkers, but it’s just been a chain of bad albums. Who tf wants to listen to drum and bass music for 2 hours. That fucking sucks so hard man for real.
German music is so fucking weird bro. Love having fun on the autobahn though.
Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh nooooooooooo. I’m good thanks. Next please.
I feel like there was some potential, but it just wasn’t hitting for me. No real standouts either.
Run of the mill new wave as far as I can tell from what I know about the genre.
Desert 👏 rock 👏 is 👏 best 👏 rock. Like the bluesy elements on this one.
I love a man who’s name sounds like something I would make up in a character creation screen.
This album was background noise with music occasionally sprinkled into it. Not really industrial metal music like I was expecting, but definitely not good.
Johnny Cash will always be a welcome sight on this list. Not the same as Folsom prison, but the vibes are all there.
I really enjoyed this one. Underground hip hop can really pop off as a genre if done right. The beats stayed interesting throughout, and the main rapper had great flow.
There’s this trend in RnB to replace traditional instruments with lame spacey electronic noises that I don’t really like. It works well for SZA, but I haven’t found another artist on here that it sounds good with.
I don't know why post punk artists had this mentality that people wanted to hear them song through a tube on the other side of the room. First song was definitely a challenge to get through, and it didn’t get much better from there.
This is most certainly superfly. Probably one of the best soundtracks on this thing, and a great album on its own.
Fire album cover. Decent underground hiphop. Some songs could be worth another listen.
Always love getting Australian albums on here. Punk isn’t half-bad, and was worth a listen.
Crazy what can remind me of the middle east. Songs were great, but the album could’ve been much shorter.
Still not a John Lennon fan.
I think I’m more okay with ambience now than when I started this list. It was okay, but it wasn’t my favorite thing.
Just blaaaaaaaaaaaze. I liked it, but the only memorable moment for me was gin and juice.
Had a lot of elements of both albums I liked and didn’t like. The buildup on songs like tonite was fantastic, but the last two tracks were boring and wayyy too long. I kept listening to what I liked though, so I’m giving it a 4.
Was fine until they decided to cover Born to Run. Bruce Springsteen is the only man who can pill that one off. Just sounds wrong coming from a new wave English dude.
I found his voice annoying when the song sounded especially plucky. Not something I’d like to listen to again.
Talk about a one hit wonder. Sad that their one hit wasn’t even on this album.
Another run of the mill new wave album that I have no interest in, from a time when this stuff was everywhere. Really nothing that stands out with this one, or makes it worth a listen.
I like Dinosaur Jr, but I’ll admit when they devolve into screaming towards the end it can be a tougher listen.
You know what, fuck it sure. After a string of disappointing albums, getting Dancing Queen just feels so right. Always good to see another ABBA album.
Life is hard for an aging pop star, but I just don’t like Madonna’s use of 2000’s dance music. I definitely did not like it as much as I enjoyed like a prayer.
Over the course of this list I have learned that britpop is more expansive and more uninspired than I ever could have imagined.
Very funky way to start of my morning. Mostly instrumental bits, but never boring.
They took the industrial in industrial metal a little too literally for my tastes.
So this is where all the LCD Soundsystem was hiding. Better late than never I suppose.
Not my favorite Rod Stewart work, but I feel like he can be a bit plain anyway. I definitely didn’t expect to see him on this list so much.
Interesting album in theory. I can tell there is a big political charge to what she’s saying, and the jarring orchestral background is definitely helping her. But holy hell is this not an easy album to listen to.
Honestly every song on here flowed from one to the next so well that I don’t think I was ever bored. Samples on here were also fantastic. Really ahead of its time for 1990
She just gets stranger and stranger with each album.
Not so chock full of hits, but definitely a good example of three great country artists in their prime.
Pretty good for the non neil young member of csny. The first track was a banger.
Always like seeing Paul Simon. Didn’t hit me as much as Graceland, but still most certainly a vibe.
Holy mother of god. When I think spy music I think cool and calm, with bouts of intensity. This had to be the most rapid, chaotic shit I have ever heard. Like hats off to Zorn for being able to play the sax like that but fuck me this one is rough.
I liked the rapping in the beginning, but much like all electronic albums of the era I lost interest in it quickly. At least it wasn’t an hour.
Finally an album that’s not shit and on spotify. I didn’t know Daydream was a sample from another song, but it’s cool to see another take on it. Kind of reminded me of Hookworms at times. For sure going to listen to some of these tracks again.
An interesting sound that reminds me of a more listener friendly bjork or fever ray. Not my thing, but not bad.
Kind of funny that alt country started from an english punk band deciding they were going to add fiddles.
I actually enjoyed a lot more of these songs than I thought I would. Im a little surprised these guys were a one hit wonder in the states.
It was good. Beck makes a lot of interesting sounds that work well in most instances. Dude also is great at switching up his style every album lol.
Doesn’t sound as polished as Loveless but the sound is still very enjoyable at times.
Didn’t have any of the real catchy Lennny Kravitz songs I know if, but still a good performance.
Oh boy!!!!! Another downtempo drum and bass album!!!!! Good thing Oppenheimer makes an appearance on this album, because nothing else would save it.
Maybe it was just where I listened to the album, but I found it incredibly quiet and hard to hear Hendrix.
Album cover sucks but at least it’s basically Steely Dan with extra steps.
Ole school honky tonk is quite fine and dandy to me.
I liked this one so much more than Astral Weeks it’s crazy. Very relaxed rock music that you can just chill to.
I love people doing rock music in their non native languages. The annunciation kind of reminded me of Lynn singing the persona 5 soundtrack.
Yeah Kanye for ne kind of went off the wall after My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The only song worth listening to in here is Black Skinhead, even Bound 2 kind of sucks.
I have to give this album credit since electronic pop music doesn’t make many appearances on this list. I’ll have to listen to it again and see if any song other than the mother we share stands out to me.
Normally the 60’s psychedelic music is super bad on here, but I found myself actually bopping along go some of the tunes on here.
A mix of international music, hip hop, and english electronica that should be more annoying than it is. I think it’s just upbeat enough that I don’t hate it.
Ahhh my 1001th album. Some mediocre prog rock to celebrate the occasion. Why does every song in this genre need to be 18 minutes long?
Her voice was kind of whiny and annoying, but the background guitar was definitely beautiful.
I don’t know how this album ended up with as low of a score as it did, because some songs on here are legitimate bops. Who cares if it’s a country album.
At times it was hard to tell this album was from 1990, the rapping felt a lot more clean than that. Still, 1 hour was too long.
Man I did not think I’d see the Iowa boys on here again. Dumb and edgy, but a fun listen.
Album cover is awful. Music is pretty sappy but not horrible. This could’ve been a lot worse.
Good music, but punk music just shouldn’t be 80 minutes long.
Really relaxing enjoyable stuff. Liked that the hits both had shorter versions for my tiny brain.
This is what I have been waiting for. A The Cure album with an accessible enough sound for me. Classic work.
I think it’s cool I could immediately hear how the first track influenced TPAB by Kendrick Lamar. Really chill music that I would be happy to give another listen.
Music was surprisingly good. There’s probably something worth another listen in here
The thing with noise rock / shoegaze is I can’t understand it half the time, but I still am bobbing my head along so it must be alright.
Not a band I was expecting to see reappear on this list. I kind of vibe with their music but it all kind of blends together at a point. It needs more attention if I want to pull songs out of here.
Christmas? More like the Peter Gabriel appreciation week. He’s a good artist so I can’t be mad, but damn if I wasn’t expecting 2 albums in one week. Interesting to see him become more pop over time.
What is there to be said about Rumours at this point. Classic sound, classic album cover, and fucking dope tracks. Can’t believe it took me this long to get this one. Timeless.
It’s a damn shame the music is mid because the moth album cover might be one of the best ones on here.
Great consistency from one track to the next. Lots of affirmations of black beauty that were probably not meant for me.
Love the lead singer’s voice on this one. Gay dance music is also just upbeat and fun to listen to.
So Eric Clapton decides to show his face again huh???? The album was alright. I really don’t have much to say about this one.
Can’t say this was one that really drew my interest either.
The album cover is fantastic, I want nothing more than to have a lobster bib. Music was alright, might be one song on here worth listening to again. Vocals kind of reminded me of Dead Kennedys.
Weird to hear Missy Elliot before she really blew up. The flow is good, but none of the tracks really spoke to me. Stay winning queen.
Started out fairly good, but the ending kind of bored me. Better than I thought though.
Love the diversity in this album. Definitely an eclectic mix of songs that say LA. I think they should’ve made 1 or 2 cuts to it, but otherwise I found myself jamming to the latin and hip hop sections.
While I like Van Morrison well enough, 1.5 hours is way too long. Especially coming from an era where live albums kinda sucked.
Was okay, before it got very, very weird. Another one I could live without.
After 3 albums I can more than confidently say that Pet Shop Boys are not a band I care for in the slightest.
Great album that stands up to all the other White Stripes albums. I don’t know why I avoided this one for so long, because there are definitely a couple of jams on here.
I see what critics were saying about Iggy having more energy in this one. Lust for Life kept me entertained all the way to the end. As always it's also nice to see Bowie at work here.
Had some good moments, but ultimately I see myself forgetting I ever listened to this one. Bit unfortunate but it is what it is.
I probably do too disagree fully with Morrissey’s politics but I don’t think having a woman, black, or gay president is going to solve America’s problems.
I was surprised to see Marvin Gaye made more than songs about getting it on. All of these songs are very socially conscious, but not overly preachy. I will definitely give this one another listen.
Incubus is definitely not a band that I think has had any lasting impact in the music industry, but at least nu metal is kind of fun.
I recognize the importance of Grateful Dead as an early jam band, but holy shit a 18 minute guitar solo needs to be seen live and on a lot more drugs than I was on to be appreciated. That first song was incredibly painful. It was a miracle I didn’t quit there.
Not the most exciting Springsteen album, but there were still many good tracks from the boss on here.
A lot shorter songs than I am used to from Miles Davis. I think it made the jazz easier to digest. I definitely enjoyed this one!
Not as weird and awful as some of the work I have heard from Can. At least the first song is a bit of a bop.
This album gives similar vibes to the unrelated Belgian techno anthem Pump Up the Jam. However, unlike Technotronic's smash hit (also released in 1989), this album did not gain widespread international recognition.
Didn’t have anything like Rockafeller Skank or In Heaven that made Fatboy Sim’s other album fun. Kind of disappointing.
I feel like Grime is relatively new on the scene so it was kind of interesting to hear one of the first albums to break out of the UK. Still not a big fan of rap with a British accent but it wasn’t terrible.
Someone related this to siouxsie and the banshees and I can honestly say I like this album a lot more than anything they put out.
Theres this strange style that hookworms, the beta band, and now Django Django have that I cant define, but I can’t hate on either.
Love the look on the album cover. Her voice is great but the music was kind of mid for me.
One of my favorite folk albums of all time. The vocal harmony on White Winter Hymnal, and every other song, is fantastic. Glad to see this on show up, even if I had to wade through 1000+ albums to get here.
A healthy mix of southern rock and blues that wasn’t weirdly fixated on Lynyrd Skynyrd like Drive By Truckers. I thought it was enjoyable, and worth listening to other songs by this band.
Normally even shoegaze has at least one interesting song in it, but this one was just a snooze fest from start to finish.
This surprisingly Spanish sounding French album was interesting, but not the end all be all of world music for me.
Taylor Swift’s inevitable turn to pop superstardom. Crazy to think she could become even more of a cultural phenomenon than what she accomplished with 1989. As always I have to give it to my queen.
Kings of Leon is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, but I find it kind of funny the lead singer gets more intelligible as they released more albums.
California is so magnetic, you’ve got Irish bands dedicating an entire album to it. Seems a but extra, but the music was alright.
Very overdone 80’s music that is likely only on this site because they ran out of good albums to put onto a 1000 album list.
Love the last song, and the beat was cool, but his style of rap wasn’t for me.
Damn 3 Dexys Midnight Runners albums is crazy. Decent enough, but I wish the talking bits were louder so I can hear what Rowland was trying to say.
This is the second time an artist had a mental breakdown and this list decided that the product was worth a listen. Not my cup of tea but it wasn’t all terrible.
They really were stealing American blues from day 1 huh? As always the sound is good from the rolling stones. I enjoyed hearing their cover of Route 66 and thinking I was watching cars.
Very hard to listen to. The equivalent of white woman goes to India to find spiritual enlightenment the album. Only reason its not 1-star is due to my respect for like a prayer.
Looks like Korn has some competition. While Limp Bizkit did not include a song about who is the gayest, they thankfully made this 75 minutes long to make up for it. Every song on here slaps harder than the one before. I can say in all honesty I am limping with the bizkit.
A lot better than I was assuming from one of the stranger inclusions. Will listen to maybe 1 or 2 of these songs again when Im not on vacation.
This is gonna sound crazy, but for a trip hop album it wasn’t… half bad? I think I already listened to Mezzanine I need to give it another listen. Surprisingly pleasant, but not boring music.
The Verve really do be just bittersweet symphony, and then a bunch of mid britpop songs. This album was unfortunately missing the key element of bittersweet symphony.
Stevie Wonder must’ve been having a real time of it, because every album he’s had on here has been a bop so far.
Again with the kings of leon. I guess if any of their albums were to be on here it would be this one. I’d be lying if I said Use Somebody and Sex on Fire weren’t bops to me.
Fairly decent English punk music. I wish there were more songs titled orgasm addict in it. Otherwise good listen.
The killing moon is still my favorite song by these guys. Although as always, I think their album covers are sick.
This album was about as weird as I thought, but strangely still a vibe. I should save the album and listen again, but we shall see.
I liked that a good portion of these songs changed halfway through and went a completely different path than what I was expecting. Made the experience a lot more fun. Vibes hit right as well.
Don’t get me wrong, she’s got a gorgeous voice and was a big enough cultural force for a bit to have an album on this list. But must we always make 80 minute albums Christina? Is that really what the audience of pop listeners wanted??
Not a terrible album, but it definitely feels like a lot of review sites overhyped it. Especially since there were much better garage rock bands coming out at the time.
The version on spotify doesn’t do this one justice. You can’t replace the sitar with a guitar. The original wasn’t as overbearing as you’s assume sitar music would be, and quite relaxing.
The opposite of my last album where it is full of chill beats, but this time I want nothing to do with it. Too long and no where near interesting enough to hold my attention.
Love to see another Fiona Apple album on here. I did enjoy the direction a lot these songs went. Weird to think that something like this could be made in garageband.
Kind of felt like a mix between old school country and Nick Cave and I was absolutely not here for it.
A classic among the 2000’s indie heads. Time to Pretend has to be one of my favorite songs about getting addicted to cocaine and heroin out there. I feel like I could justify a five, but I best Electric Feel to death it lost some of that magic to me.
I feel like people on here are always way too critical of country music. Can a guy not croon on his guitar about night life in America and all the honky tonks involved anymore? Not a bad listen imo.
K.D. Lang feels like she should be more old school country than early 90’s. Not my favorite country listen, but certainly tolerable.
Not too big a thrash metal guy, but it’s hard to not bob my head along to this music. I can see why metallica were fans of them.
I feel like albums that had the worst filter on the cover was a trend for early country rock. As bad as that looks the music was good. Loved the song about aliens that got real weird at the end. Not what I was expecting on here lol.
I am upset that they used this album and not 13 tales, because bohemian like you is by far the dandy warhols biggest song. I’ll probably end up listening to that album as well and pretending it was on this list instead.
Honestly once the monkees started writing their own songs they still weren’t all that bad. Definitely interesting as far as manufactured tv bands go.
The dance punk on here is not quite as exciting as le tigre or Franz Ferdinand, but the genre still makes a fun listen. Short enough that it’s not bad to give a go around.
I love the idea of putting skits in rap albums. Itself such a good way to break up hour long albums and make them feel easier to listen to. Eye Knows and Me Myself and I were both great songs. This one is worth another listen.
Finally a Christmas song can get added to my playlist. However, I find myself liking more of the Pogues music than just Fairytale of New York. The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is how much more hoarse the lead singers voice sounded on this than in Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.
Much more consistent energy than I’m used to in a U2 album. It helps that Sunday Bloody Sunday is probably my favorite U2 song.
Never been that huge of a Deep Purple fan. For heavy metal it just kind of felt slow and quiet.
This always felt to me like the last of the old school Kanye albums. A monument to his massive ego. Something that the audience (like myself) would hate to love. The album is great, much in spite of the person who created it.
You can tell psychedelic music was meant to be listened to high because of how so much of it is just not appealing when sober. This definitely isn’t the worst offender, but the genre has started to leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I don’t know why I’ve never bothered to listen to Janelle Monáe, because every song on here kind of went hard. Lots of high energy music that did a great job blending together different genres, while simultaneously never losing that pop feel. Big thumbs up from me.
Very funny to hear a heavy metal cover of Freddie’s Dead. Otherwise, I must be a bit of a pothead because I kind of enjoyed the early ska.
The instrumentals are very chill and relaxing, but my god do I hate albums that just whisper-talk at you. I feel like that’s just the worst way to go about vocals. It’s no surprise that Shiver, the only song where he moderately attempts to sing, is my favorite.
