Pet Shop Boys
2/5
This is very Eighties, but not in a good way for me. Shoutout to "I love you, you pay my rent" as a lyric though.

I feel like it overpromises and then underdelivers on the grooves.

For as much as Kanye gets hyped up as this genius producer, this really doesn't sound great. The lyrics are largely awful too.

Elton John
3/5
Tiny Dancer is obviously an amazing opener. The rest of the album sounds very same-y though, not a lot of variety. It's definitely not a bad album, but I wouldn't actively seek it out.
The Go-Go's
2/5
It didn't really stick in my mind. There's a couple of fun songs on it, and you can definitely hear the progenitors of punk and riot grrrl on this, but hearing it for the first time this year it doesn't sound that special.
1/5
I assume that this is a country classic, but even with the short running time, songs exclusively about love in such a schmaltzy way really isn't my cup of tea.
Richard Hawley
1/5
Sometimes it sounds like classic country, sometimes like mood music for a romantic comedy. At no time does it sound interesting to me.
Ravi Shankar
3/5
While it feels more educational than for entertainment purposes, that doesn't diminish the fact that it is interesting and fun to listen to.
Mudhoney
3/5
It's a solid-to-good grunge album to listen to, but some of the studio decisions kind of baffle me. Why is there an acoustic guitar only on the right channel on Broken Hands? Why is there a harmonica on Pokin' Around?
Serge Gainsbourg
4/5
It's obviously beautiful, Serge's voice is very smooth and I like it musically. I'm just afraid I'm losing some of it because mon francais est tres mal.
ABBA
4/5
You can never go wrong with some ABBA. Some of the songs here clearly aren't on any best-ofs for a reason - When I Kissed The Teacher aged very poorly - but overall it's a fun listen.
Stereolab
4/5
Very interesting and varied album, almost getting some Deerhoof-y vibes from some of the songs. First album in this run that I will actually actively come back to.
Janelle Monáe
4/5
An amazing album containing some of Janelle Monáes all time great songs, let down only slightly by the run length.
The Human League
4/5
Classic synth-pop album with some all-time great songs from the genre. The lead singers voice might get grating though on repeat listens.
Elvis Costello
3/5
Fun and replayable rock album, feels like the B side is overall stronger than the A side.
Muddy Waters
5/5
Amazing solos, smooth production Muddy Waters' iconic voice combine for a great blues album. (huehue hard again)
Bobby Womack
3/5
Very smooth, sounds more like background music to me though.
Living Colour
3/5
Unfortunately, the quality of songs varies massively after the opener, which deservedly became a hit.
Arctic Monkeys
5/5
One of the best debuts in the last 30 years. When the Sun Goes Down is one of the greatest riffs in indie rock.
Elvis Costello
2/5
I feel like there are some good songs here, but the production really stands in the way of them shining.
Prince
4/5
Deep Purple
3/5
Great rock album, probably very good driving music.
I wonder why Smoke on the Water is the riff that is most known from this album; there's better keyboard and guitar riffs on many of the other songs.
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
To me, the lyrics don't carry the album enough to justify keeping the songs in their demo form.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Obviously has some all time great songs on it; the interludes on an album that's barely half an hour seem kind of strange to me.
Patti Smith
4/5
Roxy Music

Amazing flow as an album, feels like a great DJ set.

Devendra Banhart
3/5
Love the songwriting, his voice just isn't for me.
Elton John
3/5
Some cuts could have been made, but an enjoyable listen overall.
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
Great fun to tap and sing along to; could have done with some cuts towards the end.
The Beach Boys
3/5
The A side and B side feel weirdly disconnected.
Joan Armatrading
4/5
ABBA
4/5
At first I thought "second ABBA album this month, basically no hits again...", but this is amazing.
My Bloody Valentine
5/5
An obvious all time classic, fuzzy and dreamy and weird and full of emotion.
Björk
4/5
Paul Revere & The Raiders
3/5
Solid, fun to listen to classic rock.
Pixies
4/5
If you listen to this expecting more like Where Is My Mind, you will be confused I assume. Sort of feels like with Radiohead and Creep, where "that one song" clearly doesn't represent the rest of the band's work.
The Police
3/5
Sounds more experimental than you would assume.

Roxy Music
1/5
Considered turning it off during the first track; turned it off during the fourth.
The Divine Comedy
3/5
What's with the weird animal comparisons?
The Who
4/5
Pavement
4/5
I've never quite understood the incredible hype Pavement, and especially this album gets. It's a good, at points great indie record, but the whole Pitchforkian 10/10 Gold Soundz is the best song of the 90s vibe just doesn't make sense to me.

Run-D.M.C.
4/5
Even though some of the lyrics obviously sound corny to today's ears, still a great listen.
Sisters Of Mercy
3/5
Drive-By Truckers
2/5
Musically a bit too samey for me, even though the lyrical themes are interesting.
The Teardrop Explodes
3/5
Pink Floyd
4/5
I'm not sure if it's the overly high expectations I had when I listened to this for the first time, but even on re-listening, it's not as perfect an album as the general opinion makes it out to be. It's still great, but it contains lulls and some unnecessary filler.
Sister Sledge

It's nice to listen to, but it doesn't really grab me; I think I just don't have the ear for jazz.
Brian Eno
3/5
I feel like I would enjoy this more if there weren't sounds or vocal stylings in at least every second song that feel like they were put there with the express purpose of being annoying.

Jeff Buckley

Calling this album "Club Classics" feels like a bold move; I couldn't see myself enjoying most of these songs in a club context. Shoutout to African Dance though.
The Gun Club
2/5
Interesting and fun in the beginning; didn't capture me enough to finish the album though.
Todd Rundgren
4/5
Apparently reviews from the time found the first half too weird for its own good, which is sad, because I feel like the album might be even better if the second half was weirder.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Kate Bush
4/5
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
This is very Eighties, but not in a good way for me. Shoutout to "I love you, you pay my rent" as a lyric though.
Minor Threat
1/5
Punk is rarely my genre, and this didn't really pique my interest unfortunately.
Morrissey
2/5
Alice Cooper
3/5
It's a fun listen; the mixing feels very strange in a lot of the songs, everything is being panned all over the place.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Boards of Canada
3/5
It's a bit too chill to dance to, but still, a nice electronic album to have on in the background I guess.
Randy Newman

Nick Drake
4/5
Finley Quaye
2/5
I should like this since it's largely reggae (or at least reggae-adjacent), but it's not doing it for me.
Nina Simone
4/5
Os Mutantes
3/5
Fun and interesting to listen to, even though I don't think I would actively seek it out outside of this project.
Blondie
3/5
John Martyn
4/5
For the first time in this project, I was very positively surprised by an artist I had never heard of before.
This is very intriguing to listen to, with its wild mix of different styles and his very unique voice.
PJ Harvey
4/5
The Kinks
3/5
Boston
4/5
The Specials

I enjoy ska quite a lot, but these vocals are too grating for me to really get into this album.
Pulp

It's great as an instrumental album, but listening to it actively doesn't appeal to me that much. Good background music though.

Clearly a very influential album, some classic tracks, but it's a bit too samey for me to enjoy the full run length.
Syd Barrett

Parliament
4/5
Grant Lee Buffalo
3/5
Started off great, then disappointed me in the second half.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
4/5
Queens of the Stone Age
3/5
Starts off great, but got more monotonous and boring to me as it went on.
The Who
5/5
This has big nostalgic vibes for me, since it was a large part of me growing up. Apart from a single skip, it's basically still perfect to me.
Brian Eno

Very schmaltzy, and not musically interesting enough to make me come back to it.
Metallica

Apart from a few songs, I've always found Metallica to be musically uninteresting, and it's the same here.

Beck

Sam Cooke

The Who

The Jesus And Mary Chain
4/5
Very good, but sometimes a bit too abrasive and distortion-y, even for me.
Beatles
4/5
Big moment in their discography obviously. Shame that the 2009 mixes that are available on Spotify are so weird.
Taylor Swift
3/5
Doesn't start off amazing, but gets better. Usually not a massive fan of her singing voice, but I enjoy a good deal of these songs. no body, no crime is excellent.
Alice In Chains
3/5
New Order
4/5
Metallica
2/5
Shuggie Otis
2/5
I feel like it overpromises and then underdelivers on the grooves.
Wu-Tang Clan
4/5
The interludes that don't really add to the songs but are part of the tracks and thus basically unskippable keep this from being a 5 for me.
The Prodigy
3/5
It's not a bad album by any stretch, but I enjoy Prodigy with vocals a lot more.
Bob Dylan
4/5
Lou Reed
3/5
Supertramp
3/5
Pere Ubu

Probably the strangest album I've gotten in this list so far. Interesting in some parts, but just plain annoying in others.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
The Jam
4/5
Cornershop
2/5
Unsure how critics called this "cohesive" when it came out; to me it feels like multiple bands pushing songs of theirs into a playlist, sometimes during the same song. I enjoy a good few of these songs on their own, but as an album... I dunno.

Stan Getz

Chicago

Rod Stewart

This album is generally boring and mosty leaves me asking why Rod Stewart is singing Amazing Grace in a key where he has no chance hitting the high notes?

Had to switch to the german version during The Model, just because it's too weird to hear it in english; but a classic album either way, far ahead of its time.

Similar to Licensed to Ill, the Beastie Boys vocals just get grating after a while. The production and sampling on this is great though, which is what prevented me from turning it off halfway through.

The Isley Brothers

I listened to this on Friday, I'm rating it on Monday and I just had to scrub through quickly to remember anything about it, so I guess it's not the most memorable album. Musically pretty good though.

I really enjoy the storytelling on this, even though it gets mildy repetitive at times.
Blur
4/5
The Everly Brothers
1/5
If the only somewhat memorable song on an album is done a lot better by other people later, I don't think this album should be on the list.
Kanye West
4/5
If I heard this before Yeezus, I would have hated that one even more, because this cements Kanye as being able to construct consistently amazing songs. Still not a fan of him as a vocalist or lyricist though, so it's a good thing this has loads of guest features on it.
Also, the last three tracks could get cut and it would make the album better in my opinion.
Air
3/5
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
3/5
I can see the appeal, but I don't think it will be more than background music for me.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Some of these songs sound too static-y to me, and sometimes the abrasiveness feels over the top, but overall an amazing collection of songs.
Spacemen 3
2/5
To me, this sounds like they just made long versions of intros of songs, and then put those on an album. These songs never really get started, it's not a very interesting listen.
The Afghan Whigs

Excellent; one more album in the list of reasons why I started this project.

This would have made a solid FIFA soundtrack; good for the few minutes it takes you to setup a match, but incredibly repetitive for any longer than that.

(Judging the original UK version here)
I realize that this is somewhat early days of stereo recordings, but the panning is just awful to modern ears a lot of the time. That cymbal on High And Dry drives me insane. Large parts of this are also not that special songwriting-wise.
