I loved every minute of this album! Fun funky and fresh. A new favorite from a group I'd never even heard of!
Few albums can be said to truly define a generation but Nevermind is one of them. Just iconic song after iconic song.
Perfect and innovative RnB. Still sounds very fresh 5 years later. A favorite of mine.
Wonderful writing and a true spirit of Americana. Like looking in a mirror and seeing America looking back at you. However, I think I prefer the acoustic songs to the electric ones.
It's good, but not really my thing. It also sounds a lot like other hard rock albums that came before it. I can appreciate it though.
I know U2 get meme'd a little bit, but this album is unironically great. Cohesive sound and great writing. I also love the cover. I can see how this is a highlight for them.
Incredibly honest, personal and well-written. Heartbreaking and has me absolutely floored. Perfect use of sampling. This album was really the blueprint.
Ooooh it's jazzy! I liked it. It was kind of whimsical and I think the writing is fun.
This album is fine, but I don't particularly care for it. It feels like a more boring Chili Peppers record. I liked the bottom half more than the top half, though.
This album is beautiful, simple and magical. It feels so intimate and really makes you think about the true emotional power of music. I'm a huge fan.
Beautiful music. Wish I knew what the lyrics meant. My only criticism is that after about 45 minutes in, it gets kind of same-y. However it is beautiful and relaxing. Great for working.
Oh man. What a fun and whimsical little piece of psychedelia. It's odd and silly but I really enjoyed it. And obviously the debut of an incredible band.
I didn't want to like this album, but it's very good, what can I say
I liked it! They really brought Guthrie's songs to life. Good stuff.
Some catchy songs but I mostly found this album derivative. It's mostly fluff.
I loved every minute of this album! Fun funky and fresh. A new favorite from a group I'd never even heard of!
I wanted to like this more than I did. I appreciate how important it is, but I didn't fall in love with it.
This album is so good. The sampling is amazing. And it really laid the tracks for all of the great rap that has come after it. Loved it!
I've only really heard of Yes in passing and I was so glad to say I really enjoyed this. It's certainly foundational to prog rock as a genre and was a great listen.
Oh boy. I hated this! It didn't even sound like songs! I think this is a subculture that I simply don't get.
I think this was good and technically really strong, but big band simply isn't my thing!
This is sort of up my alley but I honestly thought it was just mids. Not awful but not really special either.
I find this album to be unique, magical and local to Nola flair. Loved it.
I really enjoyed this one. Super easy to digest and enjoy hip-hop. Funky stuff can't complain
It's not bad but I didn't find it particularly interesting either. I can see how Smoke on the Water is such a famous song, though
This was definitely interesting but really not my style. I have a lot of love for the experimental aspect of it though but I will not revisiting.
Wow, I absolutely loved this album. The writing is amazing.
Few albums can be said to truly define a generation but Nevermind is one of them. Just iconic song after iconic song.
Absolutely loved this. Just beautiful writing and music. RIP.
This was interesting. Not entirely my cup of tea but I liked it more than I expected to.
I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it as much as I wanted to, so I gave it a second listen. I can appreciate it for what it is, but I don't need to listen a third time, honestly.
One of my favorite Dylan albums! Some of his best writing
Not The Beach Boys best but also not bad! I've been listening to Help Me Rhonda non stop :)
It's cool but more like background music. I liked the vibes though
There was some good writing on this album but sonically it didn't do it for me
I enjoyed this. Really fun, poppy melodies and obviously a real precursor to the fantastic art pop we have today.
Wow, I absolutely loved this one. It's refreshing, fun, and the perfect mix of psych and pop. I also knew a lot more tunes from it than I expected. So good.
I don't love this album, it was just an okay one to me.
This album is so great! One of the best of their earlier works
Not their best but it is still really good. I love the latter half run from Gallows -> Bron Y Aur. So solid.
I think this album sometimes gets hidden behind Rumours, but it's really fantastic and triumphant. One of the best listening experiences I've had in a while.
I love this album. It's simple, whimsical and beautiful.
I love this album, especially the last three tracks. It's so good.
This album is so good. Just wonderfully quirky with incredible guitar parts.
I like CCR, but I thought this one was just okay. Kind of forgettable. Born on the Bayou is the standout track.
Oh how I wish to live in the alternate universe where he did all 50 state concept albums...
Wayyyy too long and not interesting enough to sustain
I appreciate this as being creative but I didn't connect with it. And it felt like it was a million years long.
I've always wished I liked Rush but I just... don't. I think it's because of Geddy Lee's voice. It's a shame
This is one of my favorites yet. So fun, witty and fresh as fuck.
I liked the first half, but the second half kind of lost me.
This was kind of spooky and off-putting, but I liked parts of it.
If there's one thing I know about music, it's that I fucking love Abba.
I loved this album. It was so much fun. Their music is so interesting.
Am I going to hell for thinking Ray Charles is boring? Incredibly talented but boring. And the choir sounds exactly like an old Disney film.
Oasis are a band I always shat on but I can't lie, I really enjoyed this album. Some absolute bangers.
I loved this one! Such witty writing.
One of my favorite albums ever! It all flows together perfectly and has such interesting and important commentary.
I didn't like this one as much as Different Class, but it had some good songs. A lot of it felt like filler though.
This sounds like funeral music. I like it.
Eh. Most of the songs were boring. Fever and It Feels So Right were highlights
I liked this. It's good indie rock though it definitely has a 00s sound. Still enjoyable though
Eh. It's robotic and kind of cool but very repetitive and not very evocative
This is my favorite in a while! Wow this was so good. I loved how intoxicating the music and guitar parts were. So beautiful and tragically underrated.
Some recognizable songs but this album as a whole is so one-note. It's only 8 songs long and it reuses melodies constantly. Kind of a dud to me
Such a good album! Obviously a precursor to Bridge but Bookends holds its own.
I love this album!! One of my favorites. Bluesy, sexy, fun.
I didn't like it as much as some of the other East Coast stuff I've gotten on here, like Biggie and Tribe Called Quest, but I did still like it.
This album is so ridiculously good. The writing is witty, the production is innovative, just fantastic
Elvis Costello is just not my thing, but I do think his writing is good.
I really enjoyed this! Super fun, funky jams
This album is badass and awesome. Required listening for young women.
What a beautiful and heartbreaking album. Released just a few weeks before he passed. Ugh. He still had it til the end.
This is definitely my favorite Bowie album that I've gotten so far (the first two were Blackstar and Heroes, which I didn't particularly care for), but this one is so good. I loved it.
Loved it so much! Not my favorite from Stevie but definitely a good one. The closing track is amazing, especially the last 1:30.
5 stars. This album is so fucking good. It's witty, it's poignant, it's just perfect.
I really enjoyed this. Good classic British folk. Some of it had like a medieval vibe that I really enjoyed.
Well done, but not very interesting. I guess just not my thing.
Here's the thing-- the narrative behind Tommy is weird and perverted. But, damn, do they commit to telling a story, and it's pretty entertaining to listen to. Definitely a unique piece in the canon of classic rock but I can't help but think it's the concept album that launched a thousand other concept albums.
I think The Smiths are a really specific type of music but I really like it, personally.
Is it a classic? Sure. Is it also kind of boring? Definitely.
I actually really enjoyed this as background beats. It's cool stuff.
I found it bland after the opening track, which I loved.
I'm usually pretty open minded, especially about world music, but I just did not enjoy this at all
Certainly catchy, but also shallow and not creative
It has a vibe, lol, but I don't need to listen to it again
It's not my favorite folk album ever, but I did enjoy it. American Pie is an amazing song.
I enjoyed this album-- good writing and a cohesive sound.
Did I really need to hear this before I die?
I honestly can't find it in myself to care about this album at all.
I appreciate this for what it is, but it isn't my thing.
Such a good album-- really defined their sound.
I can appreciate this for what it is, but it's really not my speed.
Honestly, just very blah, hyper-masculine music. Not super creative. La Grange is a great song though.
I liked this a lot. Really unique and sophisticated.
I thought it was fine. I liked the back half more than the front
Not as bad as Autobahn but still not for me.
I love the Beatles when they do more legit rock. Such good stuff on this one.
This album is obviously epic and intense, but I also found it bloated and rambling. It's still good though
I appreciate this for what it is, but I don't like it as much as other East Coast stuff from the same time
It's better than the other Aerosmith album I got, I guess
I get that this album is iconic and influential but also the intro to PYT almost made me throw up
This went on forever and was somehow unsettling yet boring at the same time.
I really liked this one. Just zany stuff.
My favorite Zeppelin album and one of the best albums of all time.
I liked this slightly more than most metal I've gotten on here, but I didn't really like it very much.
I can see why this album is important, I just don't personally *love* it, you know? Not my favorite from Brucey.
I really liked this one! :) Funky
I can see why it's significant even if it's not so much my thing!
Mostly meh but I liked the title track a lot
This is kind of a weird one but I respect it. Definitely one of this generation's most important provacateurs.
While this album isn't exactly my thing, I have to appreciate it for what it is-- it was so influential, and the fact that it's their only studio album is mindblowing!
Pretty similar to every 00s indie band, but I like that stuff, so I enjoyed this too.
This album is fine, like pretty good, but holy crap is it long. It felt like it was a million years long.
I can appreciate this album for what it is, even if it's not totally my thing
I can see why this is on the list, even if I wasn't super into it.
The way that this is on the list but Lana del Rey isn't...
This one was so fucking awesome. Hot, buttered and oh so smooth!
One of the best albums of all time. Just fantastic all around.
I like them, but I thought this album as a whole was just okay. Nothing really special to me.
This album was incredibly difficult to find-- I'm not even certain that I listened to the right one. I liked it but I won't seek it out again
I like the name more than I like the music, unfortunately. The last song was cool though.
Ngl it went kinda hard though it was repetitive.
My favorite Springsteen album by a lot. So beautiful.
I wanted to like this much more than I did, unfortunately.
So preachy
Wow, this album was so long. I liked some songs
I have a cultural respect for this, but yeah, not for me.
Obviously extremely impressive, but it didn't do it for me the same way Bitches Brew does, unfortunately
I found this enjoyable, though I'm not too in love with it or anything
It's an iconic sound, but a very repetitive one at that.
I'm really not a huge fan of her voice, sadly.
Funny timing, another 4 star album from The Smiths for me
Really unlike anything else you'll ever hear, just amazing
Wow, this album was fucking fantastic. Love love love love.
Look, I'm not really an opponent of the avant-garde. I can get down with some weird, experimental shit more than your average Joe. but I have my limits.
Perfect and innovative RnB. Still sounds very fresh 5 years later. A favorite of mine.
For some reason I had to listen to this twice to decide how I felt about it. I think it's good but not great, it's too long and kind of blends together
I love this absolutely theatrical and ridiculous piece of work.
This is a weird album. I loved it
Love, love, love, love.
A good and definitely important album, though not a fave of mine
It's pretty good, Elton is Elton, you know? Not like amazing but pretty good.
Wow, I had never heard of this but I really really loved it. Fantastic stuff.
I loved this album! It made me feel like a sexy spy or something.
I love Neil Young. This album is just stunning.
I like The Allman Brothers in doses, but 80 minutes of it is just sooo much
I love this album. Such a fun and unique listen.
One of my favorites. I just relate to her.
When will I find an album from the 80s that I actually like... Don't You Want Me is a banger tho
There were actually a lot of things I liked about this album, but it definitely fell short in other ways.
This album sounded like the music that plays during the end credits of a techie 90s action movie
Better than most of the metal on this list I guess
It's a pretty good one, but I'm not really in love with it for whatever reason
This was the most 2009 Williamsburg album to ever 2009 Williamsburg
Not totally my vibe but it's definitely solid.
Not my usual vibe but I absolutely loved this album!!
This is like the most boring pop music if it was metal. And I like pop music!
This is a really fascinating album and piece of art. It's disturbing, perverted, poetic and sonically unique. I really enjoyed it.
Wow, I am glad that this is over. Not even a little bit enjoyable.
I was a little disappointed in this. I like Elliott Smith a lot but this unfortunately didn't grab me like XO and Either/Or have.
It's good reggae, but a whole album of it just feels repetitive. Very powerful message though.
If... is the weirdest song I've ever heard in my life holy shit Somehow managed to be creepier than Dante's Divine Comedy. I'll stick to that next time, thanks.
Makes me think of my dad. I love this album.
There are like 30 different albums already on this list that sound exactly like this one
I liked it, but I really don't think Elvis is much of an albums artist. Like there's no glue holding the songs together, they feel so individual.
I kind of liked it, though I probably won't revisit. Siouxsie is obv an icon though
I usually love funk but I did not care for this at all, completely shallow and derivative
I like the sound but I think the album as a whole fell a little stagnant and flat
Such an ambitious, awesome, and FUN album
It was fine to work with in the background, I guess, but it still felt extremely boring to me
I really enjoyed the front half of this, but the back half kind of lost me, taking it down from a 5 to a 4
I have no idea wtf she's saying but idk I'm living for it!
How can you give it anything but a 5 c'mon now. If you give it less than a 5 I'll take you out with the silver hammer
Okay, I've now listened to all three MBV albums thanks to y'all, and this was definitely my least favorite. They are not my thing and I'm glad there's not more.
It gets three stars because the first half of this album is really recognizable and iconic, but after nearly an hour, it all blends together... honestly all of these songs sound the same.
I really think this is the best album of all time. It's literally just so perfect.
I can definitely see how this is an important album to rap as a whole, and I did enjoy it, though I think the beats and sonic aspects are a bit outdated.
I loved this album! So kooky and psychedelic and fun.
I've always felt like I was perhaps eligible for a public flogging because I've never totally felt like I "get" Queen-- but I can appreciate this for what it is!
Van Morrison himself may be a bit of a c u next tuesday, but this is a perfect album, and one of the best of all time.
Definitely not everyone's cup of tea but I have a pretty strong personal connection to this album, it was one of the soundtracks of college for me, so therefore I love it-- I've also seen Thundercat live and he's incredible!
I respect this for what it is-- I didn't love it and don't need to return to it, but I have a lot of love and respect for Dave Grohl for making it.
I liked this, but I wanted a few more upbeat songs-- this album is pretty ballad-heavy.
I liked this-- I think it sounds really ahead of its time!
Now that Phil Spector is safely locked away in the deepest pits of Hell, I feel comfortable giving this fantastic Christmas album 5 stars.
Obviously technically perfect but to me just not as interesting as some of his later work.
I have listened to two Elvis Costello albums thus far and recently learned there are SIX on this list. This is not good news to me.
I thought this was pretty good, but it didn't resonate with me in any major way or anything.
I never knew how much I loved The Kinks until Village Green a few weeks ago and now this. They are awesome.
I respect this culturally, but it's just not really my thing.
I'm a huge pop fan and have always loved Brit, and therefore, I have to appreciate this album on some level. Not only did it introduce America's beloved pop princess, it also introduced Max Martin to the public through the title track-- the most influential pop writer of the last 30 years. That being said, the majority of this album does not live up to the first two tracks, which are fantastic. Britney has better albums-- particularly Blackout.
This goes so hard lol, I only docked one point because I liked the original songs more than the covers
This album isn't my typical type, but I really love it. It's just a fun listen.
A good disco album, though for some reason I didn't feel like I was able to get all the way into it
The idea of being like "hey let's check out this new band" and hearing this album for the first time is fucking insane. One of the strongest debuts of all time.
I respect this for what it is, solid 60s garage rock, but it could really use a remaster.
Probably the most boring music in the world
Honestly I'm not the world's biggest Adele fan but this album was such a cultural moment I can't help but appreciate it
This one finds me in a tough position-- I absolutely love Lana, like I'm the type of fan who will stay up until midnight for new releases and stuff like that. I've been following her trajectory for over 10 years! And I do personally like this album and have probably listened to it hundreds of times at this point, so for that I give it a 5 because I'm a stan. However, I don't really agree with the inclusion of this album on the list. If you're unfamiliar with Lana and this is your first foray into her work, I really recommend checking out more worthy choices for the list, like NFR (her magnum opus), Honeymoon or Ultraviolence. Even her first album, Born to Die, is very flawed but has also had a lot of impact on the last 10 years of pop. I love Chemtrails but I think most fans consider it a valley in her discography-- one that has plenty of worthy peaks for this list.
I genuinely had no feelings about this album. Like it was obviously trying to be provocative but I couldn't be bothered to care at all.
This really did nothing for me. Much prefer Albarn's work with Gorillaz
This is the kind of music I usually really like, but instead I just found this horrifically boring
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
I love the concept, but in actuality this is long, repetitive and very weird
Obviously this album's singles are some of the defining songs of the 80s but the deep cuts are extremely cookie cutter and I'm just not an MJ gal at heart
This album is so good and absolutely changed rap
I've discovered I'm very particular about my punk. Didn't like this at first but it grew on me
Absolutely shocked by how negative these reviews are. Maybe just because I'm a huge fan of Timbaland, but I think this album is fantastic
