LOUD NOISES!!!!!

Elevator music + noise

Amazing, amazing, amazing album. Patti smith is a legend. Considered by many to be the first punk album. Wish I could have seen her a CBGB back in the day.

I get this was an influential band, and this album was their last. But this was not good. Turns out good bands can be greatly influenced by bad bands.

Honestly hesitant to listen this album. Figured it wasn't my thing because I am in the minority with thinking this family is overrated. I was pleasantly surprised to learn how wrong I was. This was a great album with amazing rhythm and beats.

Typically not an Aerosmith fan, but this was a pretty good album

Perfection

Jonathan Coulton vibes

Great Early 2000s Nostalgia

Chill, smooth 90s

Scottish indie music. not my thing

Elevator music + noise

Great 90s hip hop

In 1999, I did not party as much as should have to this

LOUD NOISES!!!!!

Smooth

80s pop - Tainted Love is the star

Surprisingly, I really liked this. French space music

nice 80s punk

Hallucinogenic melodies - who hurt you?

Solid Album

Funky Joe Cocker

Maps is great.

Love the Clash

Good live jazz album

One of my all time favorites

Very unique voice. Not really something I can imagine wanting to listen to again.

An Electronic Mess

Solid 80s Hip Hop

British Rap is okay. Liked the concept of a rap opera.

Son of a preacher man

Eh

Who knew I would really like Courtney Love music?

Amazing Album

LOUD NOISES - Cash did Hurt better

Great beats. Great soulful voice. Smooth

Really good album. Not better than Nevermind. But still good

Pretty good. Folk-ish.

Blues, Funk, Folk - pretty good. Smooth album to listen to as a whole

Classic. Epic Band. Epic Album.

some good soul, but some really really slow build-up

Pretty cool synth-pop beats. Enjoyable

Fine.

Psychedelic.

Modern Day Cat Stevens. Some Awesome tracks

Certainly is calming and ambient. It is pretty good for what it is.

I typically like Joni Mitchell. Wasn't my favorite, but had some okay tracks.

Eh, it's Aerosmith. they are just okay to me

I can listen to this album on repeat all day. Such a great voice and artist. Gone too soon.

Amazing debut album. Classic cover. 4 hits.

Psychedelic and heavy.

Okay album.

Amazing guitar riffs. Great album

Miles is, indeed, cool.

A cacophony of Renaissance music

Interesting music. Interesting story of its recording. And interesting use of moog synthesizer.

Great soul album.

Whiny Rock

Welcome Joe Walsh. Obviously a classic.

Great lyrics, good beats, good flow

Was never bored. Great Sample, great beats

Really fun album. Good listen. R+B meets pop.

Two classic songs, “Gimme Shelter” & “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Great blues and gospel feels

90s Alt Rock. It was okay. Nothing special.

People say this album is ahead of its time and groundbreaking. I say its a pretentious mess of experimentation that doesn't work.

Pretty good album. Never heard of it, but it's a solid mix of goth rock and pop.

Honestly hesitant to listen this album. Figured it wasn't my thing because I am in the minority with thinking this family is overrated. I was pleasantly surprised to learn how wrong I was. This was a great album with amazing rhythm and beats.

Love me some Louis Prima. Brings me back to weddings as a kid.

Great mix of folk and punk rock. Music and a voice that shouldn't work, but they work so, so well.

Not suprisingly, some really good blues tracks.

Quantity does not equal quality

Pretty good early alt rock. Great composition and great voice.

Debut Album. Reminded me of Patsy Cline. Great Voice. Slow country.

Great Blues.

Turning point in music. Groundbreaking.

This felt so 80s. Synth/dance/pop-rock. Was a fun listen.

I did not enjoy this. Wasn't my thing.

The Boss!!! Amazing album. An all-time favorite.

Was not expecting these type of darker songs from The Beach Boys. Very enjoyable.

ehhh. This was a weird album filled with droning sounds trying to disguise itself as experimental svante-garde rock.

Ska Revival? - yes please! We need another one soon.

Great compositions and instrumentals that flow perfectly. good for a long listen and jam out session.

Great beats and lyrics. Some great hip hop songs. I could do without the narrations in between songs.

I absolutely love Bruce's country sound. An amazing album.

Interesting album by Marvin Gaye. An acrimonious divorce leads to some soulful and painfully honest songs.

Early Glam rock. Enjoyable songs, slow melodies with some good riffs

Amazing album. Awesome sampling and lyrics. Each song is a great listen.

Groundbreaking. This really doesn't need words.

If I had to pick my favorite Indian sitar virtuoso,I would always choose the only Indian sitar player I know, Mr. Shankar.

Great album. The best "Hallelujah" cover in my opinion. Sad this was his only album.

It was okay. Got repetitive.

Pretty good rock album. "Lust for Life" & "The Passenger" are amazing.

Quintessential Rush album. I am pretty sure every Rush song I own is from this album.

Great lyrics. Edgy. Enjoyable sound. "Flower" is a great song.

Simple music with some Neil Young voice and harmonica. Great live album.

Great lyrics and composition. A precursor to "Pet Sounds."

Reminded me of latin music. It was good.

The Stones are back and found their sound. Sympathy for the Devil is an all-time favorite.

I guess I am really into English synth-pop. Who knew!!

This was bad. All the songs blended together.

Early Rod Stewart during his solo career. It was fine. Same Rod voice. Songs were fine.

It’s a soundtrack of background music

Great beats and good flow. Pretty trash lyrics though

Drumming was the best part, but this was not good.

Many different sounds and great exploration of punk rock

African Jazz - Good jam sessions. Was not expecting it to be so good since I have never heard of this album before today.

Ehhh, was not a fan of this. Not a big Rundgren fan.

Another great collaboration, great jam session

Was a different take on Ray Charles, but I loved it nonetheless. Man was a national treasure.

Electronic German music. Synthesizers rock. I dig it.

Frank Sinatra is a great crooner. Few great love songs on this album, other were just good.

Great vocals. Smooth vocals and harmony. Chamber pop indeed. Loved the use of strings.

It was interesting. Experimental pop rock. Not my thing though

Cool electronic music!

Really groundbreaking album in the punk rock scene, but not as hard as. I expected to be. Got a Rolling Stones vibe if they tried to be punk. Very good.

Classic. Great songs. Great covers.

Electronic music with some cool beats. IT all kind of blends though.

Amazing funk and soul album.

Amazing, amazing, amazing album. Patti smith is a legend. Considered by many to be the first punk album. Wish I could have seen her a CBGB back in the day.

Good lyricist. Early 90s Hip Hop, but it isn't that memorable for me.

Lou Reed is a legend. Such great melodies, such a raspy, dry voice. It works. I love it.

Great punk rock album

Pretty awesome rock album from I band I was unfamiliar with. Rock with a bit more blues influence.

Cosmic Rock. Pretty trippy electronic music. I could listen to this on repeat forever.

Awesome listen. Ethereal indeed.

Pretty good. Was expecting way weird with Bjork. Icelandic punk.

Not the typical poppy Madonna. I prefer this Madonna.

Ice Cube is a legend, and proves that he is the key player in NWA with this album

Garagey, grungy, emo rock. It was fine. Very forgettable.

The Doors are great sometimes or, for me at other times, they can be a miss. Personally, never liked "Light my Fire," but always loved "L.A. Woman." This album has a lot of blues elements, and it falls into the great Doors category.

Classic Album. Great great album. RIP Charlie Watts.

New Wave Second British Invasion. Duran Duran's second album made them the success they are, and with four hits on the album, it's clear to see why. Great 80's album.

Violent and disturbing, but at the same time, great lyrics, hooks, and flow. A classic album that caused a lot of controversy.

Fine background music.

Amazing album. So many hits.

Fine, not something I needed to listen to before I die. Post-punk.

I get this was an influential band, and this album was their last. But this was not good. Turns out good bands can be greatly influenced by bad bands.

Joni has a great voice, and she is a great poet. Great album for folk music. Many of the songs blend, but they are an enjoyable listen.

If you don't know simply red by now, you may never, never, never know them. Pretty good debut album.

I feel like I am at a rave underneath an overpass, and my glow sticks are flying.

Some great bass rifts in these songs, but it's like he didn't know what to add to the bass, so he added nonsense.

Pretty good dream pop album.

Smooth listen, but nothing revolutionary or outstanding from this album.

Awesome album by T. Rex. I could add this to my regular listening queue. Glamorous.

Great R&B album. Steve Cropper is the man.

I don’t like thrash metal, but this album rocked. The guitar is amazing. You can actually hear the words. Amazing.

An Album that solidified the transition from country to pop. Many great songs and hits on this album.

Fine early rock and roll. Influential to many, but forgettable listen.

James Taylor is great. Fire and Rain is one of the best songs ever written. The rest of the album is good.

Pretty good. Definitely not garbage. A good mix of different styles to make some great rock listens.

ABBA is amazing. Hands down. Known as their last released album, it went a different direction from their poppier, earlier stuff. But it was still artistically done with that amazing ABBA feel. An awesome album.

A catchy dance-rock album. Into the electronica sound, but it gets a bit repetitive by the end of the album.

I get that Wyatt had just suffered a major accident in life, and he was still able to continue composing and playing music. It is impressive. Unfortunately, this experimental rock is a failed experiment.

Amazing album. Hands down the best heavy metal band around.

Very, very good jazz piano improvisation. This was a great listen.

WHY IS THERE ANOTHER SONIC YOUTH ALBUM ON THIS LIST?!?! This band is atrocious. Just noise disguised as "music."

Amazing album that had some great early hits that launched Bruce.

Bob Marley is amazing. Some of his best songs are on this album. Each song is an a great listen. Shortly after his assassination attempt, he goes to London and records this album. A mixture of politics and love.

Drums and bass for over an hour. This is some form of cruel torture.

While personally, never loved "Light My Fire," and I prefer more blues-infused songs from the Doors, each song on this album is amazing. Legendary debut album.

Hole is a great band. Each song on this album is great. Great vocals, melody, and lyrics. Great alt. rock entry.

Nothing like screeching carnival music!

60s Folk with some experimental psychedelic sounds. It was okay.

An amazing early Rolling Stones album. It is interesting that the UK version has "Mother's Little Helper" and the US release has "Paint It Black." Both killer songs.

Dusty leaves her roots and embraces soul and lets her voice rip. Great album, even though it has a lot of covers.

One of my all-time favorites from my favorite band. An awesome album. Essential classic rock.

Good debut album. Great acoustic folk sound.

Amazing album. Great use of different sounds and techniques. Soft, artsy, dram pop-rock.

Nice renaissance music.

Screamo music from a horrible person. Nothing amazing in this album worth revisiting. Cancel and move on.

The first half of the album is amazing - song after song. Kashmir is legendary. The second half is pretty good, but not as great as the first half. Still an awesome album.

Great voice. Good sound. Indie rock.

Pretty cool that Winwood did everything on this album, but while it’s fun, I probably won’t revisit this album.

90's techno, very repetitious. 90's techno, very repetitious. 90's techno, very repetitious. 90's techno, very repetitious. repetitious. repetitious. repetitious.

Amazing album. Legendary Bowie.

Melodic space music. Relaxing.

Poppy 80s Rock at its best

I really enjoyed this album, but I am a bit confused why it is a must listen. Folk music, very Dylan with some psychedelia mixed in.

Beautiful album. Joni's voice is so unique. Amazing songwriting. Legendary album.

Great album. Amazing and reflective lyrics at a crucial point in his life.

Raw and gritty. Great early punk album.

Diverse sounds. This album shows the range Prince had and is easily one the best Prince albums.

Fun 90s pop

I imagine this electronics being influential and big at the time, but it was fine background music

Fine pop-rock. Not great. Not bad. Fine.

Great rock album with different sounds. Felt like listening to a jam session

Amazing blues album.

I did not understand this, but I loved every second of it. Who knew I would be into French Hip Hop

Great 80s pop album.

"But you love Ladysmith Black Mambazo!" Indeed a weird band to love. Fine African music. Bit slow, and made sleepy.

Neil Young is a legend. Great Folk album

Great psychedelic rock album from the legend that started Pink Floyd. Shame he went crazy.

Good early 90s hip hop and the skits were not as annoying as some later albums

Great early punk

Two songs worth noting, but I can’t stand R.E.M.

Legendary guitar riffs

Not the best live album. Great drumming. But low quality and repetitive.

Great Jazz

Interesting. Never heard of the singer or the genre before. It was fine, but I feel like I miss some of the importance considering I do not speak French.

Ok. pretty good modern British rock. didn't blow me away.

Garbage. Hot British-pop trash.

great instrumental German electronica

Awesome 80s heavy metal

Legends. Amazing debut album. Hard Rock at it’s finest.

Amazing debut album.

Weird modern folk. Was not a fan

Pretty good mix of jazz and funk

Amazing early punk album

EAST COAST!

The Pogues are amazing. Great Celtic prunk

Great introduction to Miriam Makeba. Amazing voice.

Okay folk music

Folk and country. Felt a bit like christian music. Wasn't my thing, but I cannot deny her talent and amazing voice.

Interesting raspy spoken word mixed with jazz. It wasn’t particularly my thing but worth a listen.

Conflicted. A pleasant listen to, but probably won’t repeat.

Great album! No misses. Just great songs.

Fine. Rod Stewart is okay

Amazing Debut album. Hip hop at its best.

Fine. For me, certainly more enjoyable than Ravi Shankar's sitar music. But, still not my thing.

Amazing. Legendary album.

Fine country album. Will never listen to or think about these songs again.

I love the Temptations, but this album was just fine.

I don’t know why I like synth pop, but I do.

80s British Pop that sounds indistinguishable from any other 80s British Pop.

Legend gone too soon. Amazing album, wish we had more.

Old-timey music in the modern age. Fine.

Amazing band. Amazing voice. Amazing album.

Amazing west coast hip hop from a legend. Touches on relevant societal issues at the time and still relevant today.

Good 60s psychedelic rock.

Great modern rock opera

Great Salsa music that makes you want to dance.

Great drumming by Baker. Pretty good album that is essentially a jam session.

Great discovery for me. Awesome modern punk.

Very influential album. Songs are good, but very old honky-Tonk country.

Fine. Not the best album. Only worth listening to for the one song.

My first real listen to Jane's Addiction, and they are a lot more funkier than I expected. Very good.

Kraftwerk has got some great beats. Awesome ride.

Great Dylan showing us he transcends his 60s era and can still create hits. True renaissance man. Fun to see the Adele song was actually a cover.

Pretty good 90s trip hop from Britain

Great Van Halen album with some great hits.

Motorhead album, fine thrash music. They are okay.

Reminded me of Paula Abdul, pretty good 90s rap feel.

Great 60s album

Fine introduction of Rod to the world, awesome guitar, and some great blue tracks.

Amazing Band. Amazing Album. They rarely have bad songs.

Great 90s punk rock

Queen goes from hard rock to their recognizable pop rock with this album. Great listen.

Interesting experimental world music.

Introduction to Oasis. Pretty good band. Pretty good album. Don’t know if this album is worth introducing the world to Liam and Noel.

Some say they are corny, but I will always be a fan of Kiss. Fun album.

Fine. Not really into the white stripes

Fine. Forgettable.

I am sure it’s influential, but I don’t speak French. Cool Melodie’s though.

Amazing band that was constantly evolving and getting better. Shame that this was their last album.

Just because it’s British doesn’t mean it’s good or a “must listen to.” Sub-par techno.

This album is repetitive and boring. This album is the definition of insanity.

Fine jam session

Legendary band with a legendary debut album!

Not a Boston fan, but no one can deny that this album is absolutely jam packed with hits.

Slightly better than Casanova, but not by much.

Great Stevie album.

Pretty enjoyable, with two great songs. I do not know why it is a must-listen-to, but I liked it.

Pretty great Cuban music.

Pretty cool punk versions of early rock songs.

Great Bowie album. Mix between classic Bowie and experimental Bowie.

Pretty bad. Just because it is from the U.K., does not mean it is a must-listen-to.

Angry, sloppy, and amazing. This band was a mess, and it worked so well.

A different side of Genesis that I wasn’t aware of, but I liked it a lot!

Great early punk

Amazing album. Reggae by the master.

Very good album. I will be exploring more of her music going forward.

Solid U2 album, but nowhere close to Joshua Tree

Different type of aggressiveness than the other album I've listen to on this list. I definitely enjoyed the other one more. There wasn't much for me to like here.

It was fine.

Swift is solid at this point. Each album and move is more refined than the last. A great album, but no hits in my opinion.

Pretty good mambo music.

Elvis Costello is not my thing. It is just bad. He is clearly the favorite of the creator of this list.

Amazing debut album by a legendary Band.

Fiona Apple’s debut album is really good and well-done. Just not my thing.

Overrated.

Haunting. Great indie 90s music.

Amazing album by Bowie.

Great album - 90s hard rock

While honestly there are some great beats on this album, and this album should be on this list, I do think that it is completely overrated, as is the conceited artist who made it.

Haunting and great.

Great 90s indie

It was fine.

Amazing trail songs.

80s synth electronic. Sometimes it worked.

Fine 90s Brit Alt-Rock.

Fine Rod Stewart

Classic Johnny Cash album.

That was some smooth jazz.

Fine album

I was a very bored. Not my thing- Allow, British trip hop.

Slow Beck. Sad Beck. Okay Beck.

Pretty awesome psychedelic rock

Pretty great - power pop. I’m with it.

Different and slower, but an amazing follow-up to "Rumours."

Aretha is amazing. Classic songs. Great soul

Certainly sounds like Randy Newman

Awesome album. Amazing voice. Amazing blues.

Pretty solid bongo album. I dare say the best bongo album out there in my eyes.

The man is conceited and thinks he is way better than he is. I’ve rated other albums pretty low, but I will say this is a pretty great listen.

Never heard of this guy, but absolutely loved the sound and album.

Pretty good. Enjoyable listen.

Classic 80s band with their best song

Horrible. Like a birthday party in hell. Truly junk. Etc.

Not my favorite album, but they are my favorite band.

Smooth and sexual

Public Enemy is always great. Awesome & legendary album.

Iron Maiden's powerhouse debut quickly establishes them as heavy metal gods.

One of, if not, the best debut albums of all time.

Shame so many people stole the King's music and pre-dated it to the release of this album.

Awesome live jazz album. Great voice.

Interesting instrumentals. Not bad, but not great.

Steely Dan was way better than I thought.

Pretty good Folk pop

I get this is influential, but it is also a mess.

Great album with a lot of fun songs.

It was a pretty cool find.

Certainly average reggae.

Glam rock superstars. Great album.

Brilliant album. While no hits, this album's whole sound is amazing.

Grand Tour is in my top 5 favorite country songs of all time. The rest of the album was good, but not much else on here.

Pretty awesome background music but that’s all this is.

The King of Blues live! Amazing, amazing live album.

Fun sixties album, but nothing it stands out. It is not a must listen to record.

Awesome 90s Hip-Hop album. Great lyrics.
