Someone on here stated this album was like a mix between French Pink Floyd and Nine Inch Nails, then rated this album a 2, as if that was a bad thing. I thought that it was great.

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

I think this was added to the list to show those who are unaware of Phil Spector’s criminal history that not everything he touches is gold.

Quantity does not equal quality

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, cannot get into Tom Waits

Great jazz album!

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

Relaxing. Pretty good. I would definitely listen to his again.

Pretty good, not amazing

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.

Haunting and great.

Great 90s indie

It was fine.

Amazing trail songs.

80s synth electronic. Sometimes it worked.

Fine 90s Brit Alt-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.

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

Pretty good. Enjoyable listen.

Classic 80s band with their best song

Smooth and sexual

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

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

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.

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

Pretty awesome blend of rap, funk, and Latin music

It was interesting I guess

Not what I expected. A very good album.

Not a fan of nick cave and his repetitive melancholy.

Great album

If Jazz was groovy.

Quantity and quality. Cool jazz mixed with electric instruments.

Interesting concept album, but a tad long and synthy

The worst type of background music.

Generic Brit pop/ alt rock.

Very noisy. Some songs felt like I was listening to them on a radio station as I slowly left the station’s range and static took over.

Amazing live album from an awesome band. No wonder they took off after this.

Definitely nostalgic. A great gangsta rap album. Far less offensive than I remember.

Flawless album. Can immediately listen to this again after finishing from start to finish.

Clearly groundbreaking for the time. Okay for now.

It was whatever.

A bit repetitive. Still legends and a great debut. Just didn’t age that well for me.

Amazing album. Great space rock.

Good early James Brown but he has yet to make many of his main hits.

Awesome album. One of the few time people may know the album better than the movie.

This is an amazing album. I may be biased because this was the first album I ever listened to when I was a kid, but it’s just great listening.

Funky. Great music

Whatever folk music

Very Jazzy. Did not expect this.

Carpenters, slow and melodic. Definitely a relic of the 70s. Easy listening, but can also be a form of torture if played long enough.

Whatever. Pretty country and some experimental.

Pretty good album for his first real album

Surprisingly a lot more enjoyable than I expected. Le freak was actually my least favorite.

Ok electronica

Pretty awesome heavy metal album

Fine Alt rock / modern brit pop

Baroque pop. Pretty good.

Great Album. Blueberry Hill alone makes it great, but each song is amazing.

Weird world music. Wasn’t terrible. Wasn’t good.

As much as it pains me to say this … this album is amazing. One of the best debut albums for an artist.

Has a feeling of the Band. Just not nearly as good as the Band.

Impressive debut album and great introduction to Joan Baez.

Another generic Brit pop album.

Amazing album. Great world music. Great instrumentals. Awesome find.

Hit after hit. One of my all time favorites.

More than half of the songs are over 5 minutes. Coldplay is pretentious and overrated.

A great folk album by a great duo.

A repetitious cacophony of mumbling and noise.

Amazing album. Awesome guitar.

Masterpiece.

Awesome album. Mix between British Hip-Hop, African music, and Middle Eastern music --> and it works!

Pretty good punk album, but not a "must-listen to" album. Forgettable.

An infamous album due to its long organ song. It was fine at best.

I couldn’t get into this one. Very experimental. Similar to Kid A, but not as good.

Good but forgettable.

A pretty good debut, solo album. Clearly, Peter was trying to find a sound, and I think it’s obvious that it’s songs like “Solsbury Hill.“

Amazing debut album. A great listen from beginning to end.

Pretty good, but unfortunately just another British band that fails to distinguish itself. I will not remember this album if my life depended on it.

Funky Jazz and the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence?!?! Amazing.

Good album but nothing stands out. Fine debut as a solo artist.

Pretty good listen. Definitely not a necessary one. Pretty generic in the end.

Not really my thing. A bit too experimental and goes from okay listen to unbearable.

My favorite Doors album. Great mix of blues and rock.

Not a fan of Waits, but this album turned me around. I really enjoyed this album.

The best concept album. Amazing masterpiece. Love this album.

Alternative dance music that I cannot see myself dancing to.

Very good country album from Merle Haggard. Very early in his career. Big fan of Merle.

I can see people liking this. Good debut album for the band, but I hated it through and through.

I love The Bee Gees, but I did not like this. Concept albums didn’t work for them.

Top 5 album. Amazing heavy metal album.

Amazing hip hop album.

My favorite song was “you suffer,” because it was the shortest amount of time I had to listen to this.

This album really doesn't know what it wants to be. Some decent songs but mostly a mess.

Interesting listen. Very different from The Beach Boys, enjoyable.

I love the Pogues, and this album is amazing from beginning to end.

Pretty good hip hop from a band I never heard of.

Wasn’t that good. Pretty annoying.

Amazing album. Top heavy metal. “Run to the Hills” is amazing.

Great album, but could be shorter. I love Elton John, so it was all great for me. I can see others finding this to be a bit of a slog.

Pretty good listen.

After “The Dreaming,” this is a welcomed change. I dreaded this album, but I am happy to say it was enjoyable. We should all just focus on this, and forget “The Dreaming” ever happened.

One of my favorite Elton John albums. Really displays his true and best sound.

Very good world music that embraces the 90s

A very good jazz album.

Absolutely amazing find. Great instrumentals. Cosmic rock mixed with jazz.

Some songs are pretty decent. Others are just noise. This is not a great album.

Great jazz album.

Masterpiece. Great early Beatles, and my favorite of their pop stuff. “Anytime at all” is a great early song hinting at what to come.

Absolutely amazing live album. Sam Cooke was a genius, and I wish we go so much more from him.

Pretty good British art pop / synth pop.

Someone on here stated this album was like a mix between French Pink Floyd and Nine Inch Nails, then rated this album a 2, as if that was a bad thing. I thought that it was great.

Great 60s rock with awesome experimental vibes

I can see this album being divisive, but I had a lot of fun with it. Although this would drive me crazy if I was stuck in traffic.

Overly long for a bland album. Nothing particularly bad, but nothing that stands out either.

Great album. Great find.

Amazing jazz album. Could re-listen to this at any time.

Seminal hip-hop album.

Short punk songs that are fine. But overall this album doesn’t work for me.

Pretty good 90 alt rock

Great 90s East Coast Hip Hop

I really like Elvis. But these are the Elvis songs that I love.

Great artist and great album. Wish we could get more.

Great 60s psychedelic rock. White rabbit is an all-time favorite.

Pretty good Icelandic Ambient music.

Pretty good punk album. I appreciated the amount of instrumental compared to vocal.

I love The Bee Gees. Both their older and newer stuff. this album isn't my favorite, but I like a lot.

I’m pretty sure my mother listen to this album a lot in my youth.

Great cover album by Willie Nelson.

One of my all-time favorites.

This isn’t good music.

Amazing early punk album

Good, sad Sinatra, but the songs are indistinguishable from each other.

Possibly a five star album if not for the fiddle songs.

Hardcore punk led by Henry Rollins. Good, not great.

Great album. Trailed off at the end but awesome find.

Good album. Best song is obviously “Take on me.”

Great R&B album. Very smooth.

Fun 80s country rock, but forgettable.

Very Gothic. Very long songs, but overall very enjoyable.

Pretty good, but for me forgettable

A great Cohen album. Very poetic.

Very good. Very enjoyable. Yet already forgotten.

A fine album. Overrated. Song 2 was the only one that I really remembered.

Pretty awesome debut album. Post-punk / synth pop and a good listen from beginning to end.

Waiting for this album to start was like waiting to get on the Internet in the ‘90s. The only difference is waiting to get onto the Internet in the ‘90s sounded way better than this album.

Fun disco album.

One of the best live albums from one of the best bands.

Really enjoyed this album. “Fall at your Feet”is an amazing song.

Neil Young is amazing, and this is classic album that shows it.

Great 90s debut.

My favorite CCR album. Absolutely amazing from beginning to end.

Another Tom Waits album. Not bad. Not my thing. Very specific taste to enjoy this, and I could never see myself sitting back and listening to this.

Awesome that a band can rework their own songs in such a creative way, do it live, and record such a great album.

Fine. Non-memorable.

You know what ambient music doesn’t need? A lot of bass.

Amazing debut album. Every song is amazing.

Very ambitious. Very very good. A great find. I am now a new listener of Monáe.

Pretty good album. Psychedelic pop.

Third album I’ve listen to from this artist. The first I really liked. The second I kind of hated. And this being her debut, I was unsure how I’d feel before listening. Glad to say I enjoyed it. A strong debut album. Great blues, indie rock sound.

German factory ambiance music.

I think her prior album was much better. Good overall.

Amazing jazz album.

Much more erotic than I remember.

Amazing country album. Amazing find that I’ll return to.

Psychedelic background music!

Great hard rock album. Like one giant guitar solo.

Good folk music.

As usual, very funky. Great album by funkadelic. Clinton is a legend.

Quite the unexpected journey but I loved every second and genre change.

Great Blondie album. Fun listen but I never really yearn to listen to Blondie. Still, again, can’t deny that it’s a great album.

Early Cure - Gothic Rock. Very good album.

This album is the musical definition of Stockholm Syndrome. I had a blast … or did I?

Indie rock. Reminded me of Coldplay, but better and had more range.

Great debut album!

Pretty awesome indie rock.

Great punk band. Pretty good punk album.

Absolutely amazing album from legendary band.

Very biased due to this being the first album I ever purchased, but regardless, an epic live album.

Steely Dan never disappoints. Great album.

Lou Reed is always amazing. Great album (minus the kids screaming).

Pretty awesome debut album.

Quite surprisingly this was pretty a great. Sometimes noise rock can be good. It was catchy and I just needed some noise. This had something that bars like napalm death lacks.

Fun album. Baroque rock /pop. “Sunday Afternoon” is the star in this album but a fun listen from beginning to end.

Amazing Neil Young Album. My favorite from him.

Other than “Drive,” I can do without this album.

Eh it was okay. By all standards a decent live album but I just didn’t enjoy it that much.

Absolutely killer debut album. This can easily be a “best of” album, and I wouldn’t have noticed the difference.

Never heard of this band or album. Blown away. Great listen that I will return to. Chamber pop.

Psychedelic folk. Bit slow and repetitive.

Pretty good Kinks album. Wouldn’t say it is a must listen to.

Amazing second album that put Adele on the map.

Fine alt country.

Good album but forgettable and generic.

Amazing debut album. Definitely nostalgic for the early 2000s.

Legendary album by a bad man.

Very good punk find.

Different than what I’m used to with Bowie, but still an amazing album.

Sonic Youth will never be my thing, but this album is certainly better than their next album, “Dirty.”

Repetitive and boring electronica that shows the author of this list did not realize 1001 was such a large number. He fixed his mistake by throwing in random, generic British albums.

Rollercoaster of styles. Disco, funk, rock. Gritty vocals and fun lyrics. A good find.

None of the hits (except Freedom), but still an awesome listen.

Amazing solo album from an amazingly talented artist. One of the best hip-hop albums.

Pretty good 90s hard rock.

Not the best Talking Heads album, but even an okay Talking Heads album is still amazing.

Great debut from a very influential band.

Heavy thrash metal. Not my thing.

Interesting to listen to some Bossanova on this list. It was fun.

Marley is always great. This album introduced us to “no woman, no cry.”

In the vein of Bruce and Neil Young. An amazing listen.

Great album put out by my favorite crossword answer.

An amazing album and a new introduction to me. “Common People” - a great find.

Such easy listening. Enchanting voice. Great 90s throwback. Awesome debut.

Not my thing, but I honestly expect this to be horrible. I was pleasantly surprised that it was okay. Still not my thing, but okay.

“Singing,” or talking, out of key is not music.

Radiohead album where it departs from electronica and introduces more rock. Pretty good.

Nice 60s jazz and r&b and folk rock.

Pretty awesome album by The Kinks.

Amazing modern rock and blues album.

Not really my thing. A lot of ambient music, but a good album to show Bowie’s versatility.

My favorite Cat Stevens album. A masterpiece.

Repetitive trash Electronica

Just absolutely amazing hip-hop.

Great debut that has their biggest hits. Embarrassing that they didn’t understand how to spell their name in the beginning.

I think this author just hid a bunch of Elvis Costello albums in this list because either: 1) He is trolling us; or 2) He is a huge fan of this Costello and needed some ploy to get the world to listen to him against their will. That being said, this album is certainly better than his other albums.

Three Country music legends team up to sing country. Pretty good. Nothing memorable for me, though.

Great album from start to finish. Very funky.

Good punk album that has all the major early Green Day hits. Good studio debut.

Artsy and boring.

Wasn’t my favorite Miles Davis album, but nevertheless, Miles Davis is still amazing.

Pretty good R&B. Loved the first song. Major nostalgia.

The piano is great on this, but the saxes are divine.

Amazing album. Rock, folk, some instrumentals. All good.

Smooth. Great album.

Woeful unremarkable.

Great voice, but far too long an album. The sound was great but it got repetitive quick.

Good punk rock.

This was a find for me. Never listened to this band before, and I absolutely loved it.

I love me some Paul Simon. Found some new songs to add to my playlist.

Despite what the Wikipedia states, the album is wholly unremarkable.

Seminal Linkin Park debut. Nu metal - hip hop rock.

Folk and country. Fine.

It’s a Madonna album.

It was a good jazz album, but it also could have been a very good aid to put me to sleep.

Nick Cave continues to impress me with how bad his albums can be.

When you leave a game on pause for an hour while you do something else, and the repetitive background music keeps going.

Very good find. 80s British pop and rock that actually sounds good.

Pretty good. Clint Eastwood was the best.

British alt hard rock

Space rock / dream pop. Very good.

Goth Rock.

Pretty good country. I prefer this version of love hurts.

While I should have been bored by the three hour and fourteen minute album, this was nothing but great music throughout. Wonderful album.

I think this was added to the list to show those who are unaware of Phil Spector’s criminal history that not everything he touches is gold.

Some great beats but I never liked the singing. Not a B-52’s fan.

Slow country. Good.

Amazing U2 album.

Not particularly memorable, but pretty good light rock album.

Great debut.

Monster of an album.

Seminal album by Oasis. Wonderwall. Champagne Supernova.

Pretty good British punk album, but doesn’t stand out much from its contemporaries.

Interesting genre of music. The album goes from Middle Eastern world music to pop to jazz to electronic. Pretty good.

Classic.

Masterpiece.

Good debut album. Not really into R.E.M. though.

Felt like early Taylor Swift.

Mix between punk and reggae

Great album, but long.

County / Rock / Folk. Great voice and sound. Though all the songs sounded the same, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Amazing early hip-hop album.

Great find. Rockabilly punk.

Amazing album from an amazing super group.

Pointless Electronica.

Good album but Bobby Womack. Not sure this was the one to put on the list though.

Amazing powerhouse of an album from Tina Turner.

80s Synth pop. I loved it.

Cool dream pop.

Amazing debut album.

The album cover is similar quality to the music.

A good, but ambitious debut album.

All-female, post-punk, rock band. Pretty great.

Awesome album.

Legendary album.

Fine album. If not for “Layla,” this album may have been forgotten.

While there is alot of Britpop on this list, this one wasn’t as insufferable as the rest. Quite enjoyable actually.

Every song sounds like an intro to “Cars.”

Truly a heartbreaking album. Story goes that a recording room filled with Jazz musicians were about to record and all suffered fatal heart attacks. They immediately started to blow air into their instruments and flail around near the drums trying to signal to the people outside the recording room to call 911 for help. Unfortunately, the sound engineering thought this was Free Jazz and kept recording. This album is a product of that fateful day.

Pretty good but not memorable.

Amazing album by an amazing duo.

Pretty good. Samba. Sax. Girl from Ipanena.

Amazing debut album.

There may be good music under all the noise.

Amazing Bowie album, and the one he comes alive in.

Pretty great find for me. Reminded me a bit of Springsteen.

Country

Very slow and boring. One good song.

Important and great album, but most likely not ending up on any of my playlists.

I really enjoyed this. Recording session story was cool.

Pretty good.

Remarkably unremarkable. I forgot the sound immediately after listening.

Better than expected. Some good sounds here.

Legendary. All time favorite.

Was slow. Good but slow

Didn’t really like the strokes in the early 2000s, and I still not a fan. It’s good, but not for me.

Wasn’t as revolutionary or feminist as she believed. Pop.

Great album. But most songs don’t live up to the sound of the Message.

Fine.

Synth-pop. It was a good listen.

Awesome post-punk album.

Amazing HiP-Hop debut.

Still not a fan of R.E.M.

Great album.

Icelandic pop. Bjork’s voice always a bit too high, but not as terrible as I expected.

Pretty good but forgettable.

Zappa! Experimentation and commentary. Awesome album.

Pretty good. Nothing memorable.

Great start. Good reintroduction to the world. But most of the album was just ok.

Great punk rock album. Short and sweet.

The most unimportant album I have ever listened to.

Pretty great. Some long songs. Weird story song in there, but always great to hear Lou Reed.

Pretty good, but ultimately nonmemorable.

Great live album.

Nice and relaxing.

Fine.

This debut album rocked.

Amazing find. Great French pop.

Not my favorite album by Public Enemy. Too much noise over the hip-hop.

80s pop.

Great debut for a Cajun legend.

A good blend of country, rock, and folk.

Really weird, but really great.

There isn’t enough space for me to write all the bad things I have to say about this album, and yes, I know there is no limit here.

Good drumming. Good debut, just not my thing.

Really awesome beats and sound.
