The Libertines
1/5
"The Libertines was voted the third-most overrated album ever made in a 2005 BBC public poll."

Living Colour
4/5
What a blast from the past. I had this cassette and listened to it quite a bit. Gotta remember late-80s mainstream music wasn’t that great, and this was an excellent alternative to hair metal (pre-grunge). Couple of great covers (Memories Can’t Wait!!). Still has bones!

I’m giving a ⭐️ because I have no idea why this would be on a list of best albums of all time. Not even close.

Hard to contextualize this one. Progressive female rapper from the 90's. Groovy jams. Trouble is I can't remember if this was breaking new ground or just sounding like what else was out there at the time.
Massive Attack
4/5
Now we're talking. The birth of Trip Hop. I'll listen to that funk all day!
The Dictators
2/5
OK pre-Twisted Sister ... so what. These guys are too good to be punk, not good enough to be metal. Maybe a bigger deal in 1975.
Frank Black
3/5
A good listen. Nothing earth shattering. Just a master at the helm enjoying his craft.
Crowded House
2/5
It’s like when you’re in a Canadian bar and everyone starts singing every word of a song you’ve never heard before. That’s how I felt about “Weather With You” the most played song on this album.
Miriam Makeba

Not my bag but great harmonies.
Orbital
3/5
Shocked this is 1993. I kept thinking about Prodigy’s Firestarter. That was 1996. So this is really novel stuff for that time.
Spiritualized
3/5
Seems like something I would have listened to in ‘92. Kind of like a heavier, trippier combo of Mazzy Star and Yo Lo Tengo.
Kendrick Lamar
3/5
OK this is cool! Probably wouldn’t put it on without prompting but enjoyed it nonetheless.
The Young Rascals
2/5
Album is all over the place. I'm hearing (Revolver) Beatles, Monkeys, Chicago, Jeff Airplane, even Burt Bacharach. Best song definitely "You Better Run" though Pat Benetar does it better.
Elvis Presley
3/5
An 8-track best-seller. Not bad.
Sarah Vaughan
3/5
Put on a tux. Pour a scotch. Light a cig. Would listen to this anytime.
Cheap Trick
3/5
Never really knew what to do with or where to put this band. However, this live album does keep the toe tapping. Flip-flopping between 2, 3 & 4.
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
Not Electric Ladyland. But it’s Hendrix.
Duran Duran
4/5
Those synths. Those bass lines. Simon Lebon. I wore this cassette out completely. Seeing Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf on MTV was transformative. And I was like 11! The 80s had arrived. Wanna give this a 4 so bad ...
Aerosmith
2/5
Some good riffs. 2.5
The Velvet Underground
3/5
There’s a lot of music we wouldn’t have without this album.
Red Hot Chili Peppers

Al Green
4/5
The Rev. Al Green to us common folk. Every Sunday morning in my house.
Lauryn Hill
2/5
Did not enjoy as much as Wyclef Jean's solo album.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Perhaps one of the greatest double albums of all time. Jimmy Page was 30 years old when they made it. What were you doing when you were 30?
David Bowie
3/5
A little conflicted. I think Bowie was a genius and his musical spectrum is wide and varied. Even though I hadn’t listed to this album before, I have to say I struggled with it a bit.
T. Rex
4/5
I enjoyed this way more than I expected. Double-track vocaling, reverb drums, acoustic-fuzz guitar combos, all must have been a novelty at the time. Great songwriting. Great stuff.
The Go-Go's
4/5
New Wave all the way. Nice riffs, harmonies, bass lines, vocals by Belinda, girl power in the 80s ... plus I had quite the 11-year-old crush on one of the guitarists. 3.85 stars
Basement Jaxx
2/5
Bad Brains

Rocket From The Crypt

Tears For Fears
4/5
Still a completely unique sound in my mind, plus three huge hits.
3/5
I recognize it’s significance in country music, women singing about rotten men, and frankly it’s good singing and songwriting. But the music is just so basic, which is my problem with country (and pop) in general. First track is catchy
Death In Vegas
1/5
Nothing enjoyable or noteworthy here
Minor Threat
3/5
Definitely more my speed. I hear Hüsker Dü in there. Not sure who was influencing who. Zen Arcade was out around the same time.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
Circle Jerks
3/5
The Who
4/5
Enjoyed it.
Ella Fitzgerald
3/5
Fond memories of dinner with my grandparents. I think every song on this has probably been done better but no one matches her consistency.
The Cure
3/5
Definitely not 'Friday I'm in Love' now is it? The '80s definitely had a dark side and this was it. I think I'm hearing voices now... 3/3.25
Black Flag
2/5
Was interesting listening to Black Flag (1981) next to The Cure's Pornography (1982). I hear where a lot of bands drew inspiration from these guys, perhaps even The Beastie Boys. Fond of "TV Party" and "Rise Above" otherwise exhausting to listen to the whole album in one sitting. Giving it a 2.5
U2 was one of my favorite bands in HS/College until about Achtung Baby or even Zooropa. But after that... Maybe I just expect more. Lots of respect to the band and some good songs here. But overall, pretty flat. Lyrics are even a bit lame and album seems a bit over-produced. Hard for me to even give it a 3.
Donovan
2/5
Groovy baby.
Franz Ferdinand

Moby Grape

Iron Maiden

Sure there’s better. But this is Maiden.
Sparks

The Smiths

Definitely top-three Smiths albums.
Grateful Dead

Turbonegro
1/5
This album started out sounding like a bunch of college dudes who used their student loan money to buy ESP guitars, Marshall stacks, and an array of pedals. Then it just went down from there. They lost me with Rendezvous with Anus, if not even before. Beginning to question Dimery’s album selection.
Beastie Boys
4/5
Yup, liked that.
Björk

Beastie Boys

More than 200 samples included on this album. https://paulsboutique.info/
Liked Ill Comm better. Still a solid
David Crosby

Pleasant. Doubt I'd ever listen again.
Red Snapper
2/5
OK I guess. Fine in the background. But nothing all that noteworthy. Barely hits a 2 in my book.
Shuggie Otis
2/5
Ok I guess. Just couldn’t get into it.
Bob Dylan

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Nothing wrong with this album.
Animal Collective

Nope!
Herbie Hancock

Damn that Moog bass synth on the opening track just gives me the chills. Love it! Sly gets a little insane. 3.5
Willie Nelson
4/5
If there was ever an album that could make a grown man cry, this is it.
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
Get points for originality, and McCulloch’s voice. Couple solid tracks.
Jefferson Airplane
2/5
I like Jefferson Air/Star. But there's something about this album that makes me understand why punk, garage, avant-guard, new wave, heavy metal and grunge all exist -- to rebel against this.
The Stooges
3/5
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
4/5
R.E.M.
4/5
This album encompasses past, present, and future R.E.M. It's all there. Nostalgic for me in many ways. Most likely my introduction into "alternative music" or what we called back then college radio. So, it's always going to be an important album to me persoanally. Still in my regular rotation.
Fred Neil
2/5
Kind of Leonard Cohen-esque. But nothing really jumped out to me. Perhaps that's why I've never heard of the guy before.
Carole King
3/5
"Tapestry still holds the record for most consecutive weeks at number one by a female solo artist."
Interesting story about James Taylor recording HER song, "You've Got a Friend", at the same time she recorded it, with the same musicians, both winning Grammys.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Isaac Hayes
2/5
Love that tune. Good soundtrack. Stops there.
Cypress Hill
3/5
Pretty good in places, esp. the samples. Mixed well, so sounds good for '91. But I found it rather tiring to listen to overall.
Sonic Youth
3/5
These guys were doing grunge before anyone knew what grunge was. With the exception of Youth Against Fascism, one of my favorite SY songs, this is not my favorite SY album. I’d put Daydream Nation, Master-Dik, Goo, Sister, and maybe even others ahead.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Paul Simon
3/5
They had Gatorade in 1972?
Cocteau Twins
3/5
Really enjoyed this album. Giving it 3 stars b/c it isn't the most technical of albums. But very creative and unique in sound.
Jane's Addiction
3/5
I listened to this album way to much in my early 20s. A couple of classic songs, plus some interesting jams on side two. Not groundbreaking, but it carved its own niche in the grunge era.
Leftfield
3/5
Had no idea what to expect here. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Nirvana
4/5
I never said this wasn't a great album. It's a great album! Despite turning the masses onto grunge, my argument has been that I still don't think its sound came out of no where. You can hear in this album all the punk, post-punk and alt music that had come before it. Just not that many people were tuned into it all ... until this album broke through. As Dave Grohl likes to say, Wilson-Phillips had the No. 1 song in the U.S. when Nevermind was released on Sept. 24, 1991 (same day as Badmotorfinger and one month after Ten, fwiw). 'Nough said.
The Strokes
4/5
I remember when this came out thinking what a breath of fresh air after the final years of the 1990s (Radiohead aside, of course) and all the post-alt-grunge and pop crap that was being played on the radio at that time (Bootylicious by Destiny's Child was No. 1 on the charts the week this came out). Great tracks start to finish. Think of all the bands they inspired. These guys and the White Stripes helped save American Rock-n-Roll.
Fever Ray
2/5
Yeah, not entirely sure how I feel about it. I didn't not enjoy it, I just didn't get that into it. 2.5 stars
Louis Prima
3/5
This made me happy.
Fleet Foxes
3/5
Never would have remembered this was from 2008. Perfectly enjoyable.

Fantastic voice. Superb production. Way more to offer than just Constant Craving. So ... what exactly does it say about me if I really liked this album?
Laibach
1/5
The Black Keys
4/5
Yup
George Michael
2/5
Kind of an unusual album. Freedom ‘90 is completely unrelated to the rest of the songs here. Praying for Time is moving. They Won’t Go When I Go probably most interesting track. Waiting (Reprise) sounded a way too close to Every Rose Has Its Thorn. The rest of the album does little to nothing. Overall, album was not mixed all that well, at least what I listened to on Spotify.
Joy Division
4/5
There are moments that feel like you’re in the studio with the band. Not much sampling going on in 1980, which means most of this album is played pretty straight. That means those are real drums. Really great stuff.
Tom Waits
4/5
Excellent! 4.5/5
Korn
2/5
Tracks 2 and 3 are keepers. The rest of the songs can go. Definitely marks a demarcation point between Woodstock ‘94 and ‘99.
Richard Thompson
2/5
Here and there ok. Threw the kitchen sink of instruments at times.
ABBA
3/5
Tried listening to this objectively rather than just dismissing as int'l pop. First, the synths for 1981 are excellent! It's hard to put in context that synths didn't really penetrate pop music until the very late 70s and early 80s. Even then, they were mainly reserved for Prog Rock and Punk/New Wave. ABBA's earlier albums were more BeeGees disco, while this sounds more like Ultravox's Vienna. So, credit goes to ABBA for bringing 70s soft rock together with disco beats and polyphonic synths. Some experimentation with genres here and there. Harmonies are strong. Melodies and lyrics are often cheeky, but let's give them the benefit of singing in a second-language. Never heard "One of Us," which is the most played song on Spotify. I'll chalk that up to the continental listeners. Only song I recognized was "Cassandra," and that's fairly complex with almost a waltz beat. So this one doesn't have all the popular hits, but maybe that's why I liked it a bit more than I had expected.
The Stooges
3/5
Giving it a three for Loose and for it’s huge significance on so much that comes after it.
Julian Cope
2/5
Public Enemy
3/5
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
A great musical journey
Derek & The Dominos
3/5
Feels like this was the precursor to a lot of 1970s studio-based albums. More like a 2.5
Janis Joplin
4/5
Enjoyed more than expected.
The Triffids
1/5
I’m a huge 80s music fan. But I have no use for this album.
Lambchop
3/5
Now see that's an interesting album. "Up With People" has popped up on some of my other playlists. While I'm not sure it's something I'd turn to regularly, I might put it on again. I liked the layering of tracks, subtle brass and string sections, non-predictable lyrics, and groovy licks. That all makes for an unexpectedly enjoyable album to listen to versus, say, The Triffids. Surprised to learn they were out of Nashville.
Bob Dylan
2/5
I know this is Bob Dylan, but this didn't offer up much and sounded pretty worn out
The Cure
4/5
I don't recall owning this CD or cassette, but I felt an strong connected to each one of these songs. This will be going into rotation for me.
My Bloody Valentine
3/5
Creative dreaminess
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Liked everything about this. 4.5+
Van Morrison
4/5
Interesting album. Thoroughly enjoyed start-to-finish, although one or two songs could have ended a bit sooner. Minor complaint overall.
Portishead
4/5
This CD is always close-by and ready to be put in the deck. While one of my favs of that era, perhaps also a bit nostalgic for me personally for various personal reasons. It was unique and refreshing in the middle of grungevolution.
Arctic Monkeys
2/5
Soundgarden
5/5
Awesome!
Public Image Ltd.
2/5
Some good some not so good. Liked the guitar playing. First song could have been cut down to about :45 seconds. 2.5
Jeff Beck
3/5
Great guitarists and Rod’s voice is killer. I just think I’m burnt out on 60s blues/rock & roll. I also see why Cream might have gotten the edge. More like a 2.75
Sisters Of Mercy
2/5
I listened. Kind of enjoyed but not entirely sure how to rate this album. Going with a 2 because I don't think I'd ever say, hey, put on SOM's Floodland.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
3/5
Classic. 3.5
ZZ Top
4/5
One of the best things to ever come out of Texas. Also, my first concert ever (Eliminator tour). Gonna give this one a thumbs up.

Hard to believe this came out just a year after Kurt passed. Album starts strong but kind of trails off.

Chrissie is one of the hardest rockers there is! Plus ... who else could sing about Cuyahoga Falls (not on this album, but still)?

Neil Young

The Jesus And Mary Chain

Brings me back to high school. Not the greatest album but I enjoyed listening to it.
Talking Heads
4/5
Only reason I’m not giving this a 5 is because I’m reserving that rank for at least two other TH albums. Still at least a 4.5 for me
Boston
3/5
Albums like these always put me in a bind. It was in near constant rotation in my car cassette deck for at least two years. It’s a great album! Yet, every time I hear a song off of it, I feel a bit nauseous (that is unless I'm at a Boston tribute band concert in the middle of summer somewhere on the US-Canadian border).

Faith No More

Tricky

Various Artists

New Order

"Spin magazine's 1995 Alternative Record Guide cited Technique as New Order's best album because it represented the perfect synthesis of the band's abilities as a punk-influenced rock band and as synthpop pioneers." 3.25/5

Afrika Bambaataa
4/5
Lana Del Rey
2/5
There were some things I liked but can't put my finger on. There were things I didn't like but can't put my finger on. There's a bit of Taylor Swift syndrome here ... it's like she's singing her blog. Could have used a good editor. Still not terrible. 2.5/5
Antony and the Johnsons
2/5
I don't get it ... Yet, this won the Mercury Prize for best UK album of 2005? OK. Giving it a 2 b/c I don't want to seem completely ignorant.
Ramones
4/5
Punk meets the Ronettes and Bay City Rollers. Gotta love it.
Frank Sinatra
4/5
I mean ... it's Frank!
Nas
3/5
Never listened to before. Certainly more enjoyable (to me) than much of the what makes up the rap genre today.
Sigur Rós
3/5
Best thing to come out of Iceland since the Sugarcubes I suppose. About one 10-min song is enough for me.
The Roots
3/5
It works. Got pretty repetitive. Not a bad listen though
Fela Kuti
3/5
Solid. Now I know where "I Zimbra" came from.
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
Only reason it got 2 stars was for “It’s a Sin”. The yawning on the cover is an accurate depiction of the album overall.

Bob Dylan

Jethro Tull

Like Damon Albarn and Gorrilaz. Had a hard time getting into this album
Coldplay

Always thought they ripped off Radiohead. But still a guilty pleasure album. At times, the mix sounded distorted. Tried different devices, settings, same. Don’t know if Spotify or something in my end

Supergrass

Ok. Long. Found it hard to get into. 2.5-ish
My Bloody Valentine
3/5
Not as ground breaking as their 1991 album. Enjoyed in places.
Radiohead
5/5
No matter what one thinks of Radiohead, this is one avant-guard album. I liked the band’s music before, but this signaled something much different. It remains one of my favorites.
Cocteau Twins
4/5
Enjoyed every song.
Fairport Convention
2/5
Groovy. 2½ ✨
The Sonics
4/5
These guys were more punk than most punk bands.
Supertramp

Aimee Mann
2/5
I’m usually a big Aimee Mann fan. But didn't really get into this album. Maybe it was just because it was 1993
The 13th Floor Elevators
3/5
Groovy. That fits right in my bag, baby! (well kind of)
Not sure what the bubbly sound is throughout the album, but not a fan.
All said and done, I think several of these tracks could be deconstructed to yield some cool songs. 2.8/3
Aerosmith
3/5
Drove around in the Riviera with this playing more than a few times. An album from a bygone era.

Siouxsie And The Banshees

Great album. More disco than I remember. But also a portent of things to come.
Stevie Wonder

Manic Street Preachers
1/5
Ah, no.
Television
4/5
This album came out in 1977, which is just amazing. I wonder how many bands drew their inspiration from this album. 4.5/5
Rage Against The Machine
4/5
I'll never totally understand why I wasn't dialed into this band until much later on. I was 20 when this album came out and totally into the whole post punk and grunge movements. Yet, this band completely escaped me. Maybe I was still too Republican at the time. I can't imagine being more pissed off at life than in 1992.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
2/5
While I’m a huge (early) Synth-Pop/New Wave fan and think OMD’s first two albums are pretty good, this album is not one I would choose to showcase. I’m being generous with ⭐️ ⭐️
Bill Evans Trio
4/5
Lovely all around
Ryan Adams
3/5
Fine to have on in the background but never really rises to the level of anything all that special. Probably deserves a 2, but I'm giving it a 3 because I'll probably be listening to it in the background again soon.
Tracy Chapman
4/5
Machito

Adele

Radiohead
4/5
Amnesiac is the album that made me a fan of Radiohead. Obviously a continuation of Kid A, this a great album to listen to preferably alone, at night, and with good headphones.
Metallica
4/5
Fun to listen to front-to-back. Just about every song a slam-dunk.
Morrissey
2/5
He should have stuck with Johnny Marr
Nick Drake
3/5
Nice. But, wish they kept the producer away from mixing strings into just about every track.
The Smiths
4/5
I give The Smiths 5-stars as a band (four albums made Rolling Stone's top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list). Yet, each album on its own doesn't quite hit the 5-star mark for me. That said, "The Queen is Dead" is probably the most well-rounded of all their non-compilation albums. 4.5/5
Public Enemy

I always enjoy listening to a Nick Cave song. I never enjoy listening to more than one Nick Cave song.

These son’s-a-bitches are still touring (I guess, so are the Stones). “Into the Fire” a rip-off, I mean a borrow, of King Crimson’s riff “21st Century Schizoid Man”.

This brilliant album captures a very specific period of time. Still in rotation for me. (It may have even contributed to the conception of my first child 🤷♂️)

CHIC

If disco sucks, then why can’t I stop groovin’?
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Excellent!! Rock & Roll, Garage, Blues, hell even Folk and Country mixed together to create a bevy of iconic songs. 4.5/5
Jamiroquai
3/5
Nice synth-laced jazzy jams. Maybe a bit too close to Stevie Wonder at times. Would have been a nice contrast to all the Grunge at the time.
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Don’t know if I’ve ever listened to a full Leonard Cohen album. Quite a delight.
Johnny Cash
3/5
Goldfrapp
1/5
While the songs are fine, this album really doesn’t rise to the level of “greatest” in any category
David Bowie
4/5
Thoroughly enjoyed. Always loved “Fame”. After hearing “Win” now I know where Beck got the inspiration for “Debra”.
The Pogues
3/5
If you couldn’t get into this album, then obviously you weren’t drunk enough at the time. Several good & classic tunes here. Don’t agree? Well, then … let’s fight!
The Youngbloods
2/5
Kicks off with a killer track. Then simply goes all over the place. In places, jazzy and sleek; other place a complete hokey nightmare.
Hawkwind
2/5
Definitely not high enough for this one.
Sebadoh

Might have to give a second listen. The bassist, Lou Barlow, is also part of Dinosaur Jr., Folk Implosion, and New Folk Implosion, which are all great bands. 2.5/5

3/5
XTC
4/5
Couple of these songs really pulled me into alternative music in the late 80s, notably Dear God. These guys were ahead of the game in my book, especially when you think about bands like Modest Mouse, Death Cab, and the Indie movement that emerged in the background of the 1990s. Not to mention some pretty good guitar work.
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
I believe one member of this group may have a photo of themselves dancing in their Underoos to some Conway Twitty, or the like. Well, this reviewer knows there’s a photo out there with him dancing in his tighty-whities to Sly and the Family. 8-Track on the Hi-Fi, if I remember correctly.
Talking Heads
4/5
You had the Ramones for Punk in ‘76 and the Talking Heads for New Wave in ‘77. Both playing on the same stage at CBGBs. That’s some cool history. An even better way to hear these songs is on the live album “The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads.”

Here’s what I find interesting about this album. The last song, “Don’t You Want Me” is not the best song on the album but a logical conclusion to it. Really cool to see the progression in a single album in a transformative era.
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
3/5
Interesting. I’ll admit I’ve never heard of them.
The Kinks
3/5
Always thought The Kinks deserved a little more credit then they received. Good riffs, good rhythms, witty lyrics. That said, only song on this album I knew was Waterloo Sunset. 3.5/5
James Brown
4/5
"In 2003, [Live at the Apollo] was ranked number 25 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list, and re-ranking at number 65 in a 2020 reboot of the list."
Bruce Springsteen

A little slow and really need to be in the right mood to listen. But great song writing from The Boss.

Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed. Radiohead-esqe with elements of James and Oasis with less pretentiousness. None of which seemed like ripping off. Good lyrics and production too.
The Yardbirds

Grunge-y, garage-y and psychedelic-y all at the same time. Enjoyed Jeff Beck's guitar playing. 3.5/5

Leonard Cohen
3/5
While I do like several Cohen songs, I’m not usually a fan of listening to an entire Cohen album. But I enjoyed this more than I thought expected. 3.5/5
Arcade Fire
3/5
A bit of an oasis during the doldrums of the mid-2000s. I would have gone with Funeral over this album (maybe we’ll see it) since that’s when AF first emerged and gave us a taste of that Montréal sound. Still an album with a few great tracks. A strong ⭐️⭐️⭐️s
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
2/5
I may not have loved it, but a good history lesson.
Goldfrapp
1/5
I’m giving a ⭐️ because I have no idea why this would be on a list of best albums of all time. Not even close.
Le Tigre
2/5
So a Sleater-Kinney knock off band gets listed on 1001 Albums of All Time? What is going on here?? Giving ⭐️⭐️s, ‘cause I don’t want to ruin my good standing with the lesbian community.
Miles Davis
4/5
Nick Drake
3/5
Simply Red
2/5
Not saying I hated it, but this album doesn’t belong on a “greatest of all times” list, no matter how good that one song is. I mean, there’s at least two covers on here, incl. a Talking Heads song. Nope

Really liked this one. Been a fan of PJ for some time. Love that wide, lo-fi stereo sound. Damn raw and original, too!
The Charlatans
2/5
“The Only One I Know” is the only song I know by the Charlatans, which isn’t on this album. That was a groovy track. This just sounds like Oasis. Not very exciting.
