Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics · 8 likes

1/5

Each song feels like 30 seconds worth of material stretched to 3 minutes. Also, ever song except sweet dreams is musically boring, besides.

Not bad exactly, but very simple and boring.

2/5

It was okay.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

2/5

Better than I was expecting, but I just don't like funk all that much.

Elastica

2/5

I like it because I like the genre, but of all 90s alt records that exists, I'm not sure why this is on the list. It isn't bad, but it isn't best of all time either.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

It was okay.

1/5

Repetitive electronica beat that I don't like, with no lyrics. Boring.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

1/5

Each song feels like 30 seconds worth of material stretched to 3 minutes. Also, ever song except sweet dreams is musically boring, besides.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

Would be so much better trimmed and not a double album.

Axis: Bold As Love

1/5

Not into instrumental/soundtrack stuff. G R A N D P I A N O

Queens of the Stone Age

2/5

Not bad.

Rating somewhere between a two and a three. Started off pretty strong but faded towards the end.

2/5

It was okay.

Walking Wounded

Not terrible, but too pop/dance for me.

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

2/5

Pretty interesting. Super poor sound quality though, esp in the vocals.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

1/5

The only thing this made album me feel was boredom. Also his voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

1/5

I thought I would like this, given the genre, but it didn't grab me at all.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

2/5

It was fine. Not terrible, but not particularly enjoyable.

Close To The Edge

Yes

1/5

Didn't really grab me.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

2/5

I liked this album better than face to face. My biggest issue with the Kinks is that I just don't care much for the vocalist. I would probably rate this a 2.5 if I had the option.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

1/5

Infinitely better than The Man Machine, but still bad.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

2/5

Ok, but too slow for my tastes.

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

I've somehow never heard of this band, but I liked them and I'll probably give it a few more listens in the coming days.

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

4/5

Not my favorite Slipknot album, but still really solid. I feel like it fades towards the end, though.

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

2/5

It's fine. A little boring. Not really into reggae.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

It's fine. Not really into reggae.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

2/5

Pretty mediocre, apart from Tainted Love, which I learned while listening is cover song. Their cover is superior to the original, but I feel that does take away a little from it.

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Some absolute classics, but also some songs that I didn't overly care for. Still a great album, though.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

2/5

It was okay. Maggot brain was enjoyable, the rest was whatever.

Marquee Moon

Television

2/5

It was okay.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

I liked it a lot more than I was expecting. Pretty good.

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

It was okay.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Fine, nothing special.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

It was okay.

Headquarters

The Monkees

2/5

If Disney tried to make a discount Beatles knock-off this is what it would sound like.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

3/5

I've never heard of this band, though it's a genre I really like, and I have to say I enjoyed it a lot. Will definitely listened to this again. My only real complaint is than none of the songs on their own really stood out to me.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

2/5

It was okay.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

1/5

Wasn't a fan.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

2/5

It was okay.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

This is the second album I've gotten from this band, but I just really don't care for them.

Fun House

The Stooges

2/5

Interesting, and I feel like a lot of music I like today could have taken influence from this band. That being said, I don't feel like they are any better than just okay with having heard their like (but improved upon) so many times now.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

1/5

Disappointing. I thought this album was incredibly boring. Her voice, while normally nice, went very screechy a lot, and her decision to exclude drums for the sake of bongos(?) was not a good one, in my opinion.

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

It's okay. The only song that really stands out to me is Heroes, though.

Dirty

Sonic Youth

3/5

Good early alt. band.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

2/5

Okay, nothing special. Best song is a cover.

Sister

Sonic Youth

3/5

Solid

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

2/5

It was okay.

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

1/5

I don't like country music and this is no exception.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

3/5

This is a band that's gone under my radar, though upon listening I recognized a lot of the songs from the radio. Pretty good old school rock; I enjoyed it.

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

My favourite album from my favourite band. Every song on here is great, with a few that stand out even further. One of the only albums that I would rate a 6/5 if I could do so.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

2/5

It was okay. A couple of good songs. I would rate this a 2.5

Opus Dei

Laibach

1/5

Not a fan.

I Against I

Bad Brains

3/5

I've never heard of this bank before, but I liked this album quite a bit, especially considering its from the 80's. Hearing it without knowing the release and I would have guessed it to have come out ten years later.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

1/5

I'm not a fan of the genre, and this album doesn't do anything to change that.

The Score

Fugees

3/5

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting. Not my usual type of music, but pretty enjoyable with a good bit of variety in the songs.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

2/5

It was okay. I probably would have liked this a lot had I been around in 1972.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

2/5

It was okay.

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

2/5

It was okay.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

2/5

It was okay.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

1/5

While I can appreciate that Dylan was a huge inspiration to a lot of artists, and super popular in his time, I feel that his music does not age well in comparison to artists like the Beatles, RS, Doors, etc. Ultimately I just don't find his music enjoyable to listen to.

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

Not my favourite Beatles album, but still a good listen.
