I really enjoyed this. Good classic British folk. Some of it had like a medieval vibe that I really enjoyed.

I loved every minute of this album! Fun funky and fresh. A new favorite from a group I'd never even heard of!

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.

This album is badass and awesome. Required listening for young women.

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.

This album is amazing.

Very good indie music. I liked it.

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 really enjoyed this. It's smooth and strong.

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.

Really good Britpop, I really enjoyed it

I find this album to be unique, magical and local to Nola flair. Loved it.

I liked this a lot. Pretty great stuff!

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

Such good grunge music. I liked it a lot

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

So good. Full of classics!

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.

I didn't care for it.

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.

Boring. Didn't do it for me.

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.

This album is beautiful, I really enjoyed it.

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.

Funky, I liked it.

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

Great stuff.

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.

GOAT

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.

Holy snoozefest. This album was so boring.

This album is so ridiculously good. The writing is witty, the production is innovative, just fantastic

I really enjoyed this, such cool stuff!

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.

I liked it. I didn't love it, but I did like it.

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.

Really good! I enjoyed this a lot.

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.

In this household, we stan Nick Drake

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.

Please... no more Pogues...

Fantastic music.

Best album ever.

I thought it was fine. I liked the back half more than the front

Ughhhhh I hated it. Sorry.

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.

Amazing! I loved this one.

Eh, this didn't really stand out to me in any way.

This album is obviously epic and intense, but I also found it bloated and rambling. It's still good though

Just not for me at all

It was fine but mostly boring.

Abba are GOATS

It was fine

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 liked this one! Good 00s indie.

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.

Absolute fire.

I liked this slightly more than most metal I've gotten on here, but I didn't really like it very much.

Fine, not particularly interesting.

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

I liked this one fine enough!

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!

I thought this was mids.

Pretty similar to every 00s indie band, but I like that stuff, so I enjoyed this too.

This is such a fucking fantastic album.

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.

I loved this one :)

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.

i stan PJ Harvey

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.

Thought this was kinda bland. Guess I didn't get it.

Amazing album; one of the greats.

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.

I didn't love it but it was a good vibe.

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

Mid

It's an iconic sound, but a very repetitive one at that.

Very good writing. Stylistically kind of samesy.

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

Solid disco album

Great album

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.

It's jazz

Fantastic fantastic fantastic!

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

Boring

whitest blues music ever

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

Theatre kid core

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

I LOVEDDD this album!

It's a pretty good one, but I'm not really in love with it for whatever reason

Pretty cutesy 60s psych pop

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.

Best album of all time wbk

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.

Perfect album. 10/10 no notes. RIP

Pretty fine punk album

I love this album so much!

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 enjoyed this, pretty fun punk album

I enjoy this album but it isn't her best. 21 is her best.

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

damn this bitch horny

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

To my core, I am a Rush hater

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

This felt fluffy and unnecessary.

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.

Literally the world's blandest music

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 loved this. I think it's absolutely amazing.

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.

Some of his best writing on this one.

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.

Ugh, ska. No thanks.

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

Art pop queen

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

Definitely a fun listen. Turns out they are more than just Take Me Out!

Definitely a pleasurable listen, though certainly does grow a bit long.

I loved the whimsy and experimentation of this. A new favorite!

I was really feeling this at first, but it grew a little tiring as it went on. The writing is very strong but maybe I don't love his voice very much?

Yes I know he was a bad guy but I think this album is good. Lots of strong songs

This was better than I expected, it has a very wide variety of sounds and a strong concept with the school thing. Obviously the title track is the most famous but it's not a bad record all around

Wow, I was incredibly impressed with this. I was familiar with REM's later work but this was like everything I liked about that without being as annoying. Loved it.

Wow, another one I was not expecting to love so much. I gave a previous album of theirs three stars but this is an easy five. Very solid work and ahead of its time.

I usually love singer-songwriter stuff but I could not connect to this at all

An amazing Friday album after a week of hit after hit. Absolutely adore this one.

Definitely a little immature and silly but I also thought it was tons of fun and the music was genuinely strong

Mr. Brightside is one of the best songs ever. Somebody Told Me goes pretty hard too. The rest of the album is just ok

I like Lou Reed but jesus this was fucking depressing. I cried at the track with the children :(

I really enjoyed this, though I did lose some interest after a while

Not a huge fan in the first place but this is a huge step down from his Smiths work

Who can't love this album? It's a beauty.

Still relevant today.

Decent enough punk album, but not a lot stands out

Love me some Beach Boys, but wow, this was a weird one. Not even sure what to make of it.

I don't really have feelings about this one! I think it's great early grunge but I also felt a lot of the songs sounded the same and it just didn't hit for me.

One of my favorites of all time. Lush, immersive, romantic. Perfecto.

Who doesn't love this album, it's perfection!

This album legit impacted people's lives, and I can't help but respect that

This is next level awesome. Still sounds fresh and cool today.

This is like world music lite. Just a taste of all different cultures smushed together. I'd rather listen to the real thing but I appreciate it for being forward thinking among British/American peers. And that it has Keith Haring art.

Definitely a good album just not totally my thing. Can hear how influential it was though

Loved the first track of this but it just didn't keep the fun going for me unfortunately

definitely some fun 80s pop

wow, i really thought this would be right up my alley but i didn't end up liking it at all. pretty bummed about this one.

Awful man. Amazing album.

Who doesn't love this album?

I didn't hate this at all but I'm just not sure I can get to total love with Yes. 3.5 stars

Lots of recognizable songs but pretty boring as an album experience

I respect this for being really popular at the time, but yeah, it didn't do much for me.

For sure I respect this for what it is but I didn't enjoy listening to it. Except TV Party that song is hilarious

I just love me some Steely Dan

This album felt like it was just a step back from being amazing, but it just didn't quite get there

Maybe I'm just uncomfortable with the recent news around Steven Tyler, but I didn't think this was a particularly great album. Sweet Emotion is the only very strong song in my opinion.

Legit this album is everything, it is perfection

Had to listen to this one twice and I'm still not sure how I feel about it

One of the best !

Amazingly beautiful record, a new favorite for sure

This was interesting. I kind of liked it but it wasn't love

So good

I can't lie, I kind of rolled my eyes when this was generated, but I enjoyed it much more than I expected to.

I liked this, but a concept album about WWI England is just not aligned with my interests.

Oh how I love me some Stevie

A really good listen, good afrobeats

This was a trolling attempt right

I liked it

I used to like this record, but now that I'm a bit more knowledgable about rap, I don't feel that Tupac is within the caliber he's often hailed to

I just love these classic live albums so much

I liked a lot of these songs, but for whatever reason this didn't hit as a full album for me

Whose child got kidnapped for the making of this album

This album is such a moment, just banger after banger

This was a fun and cute punk album

I'm absolutely obsessed with the cover art for this so I wanted to love it but I found it very generic

This is the kind of thing I usually really like, but I found this a little mids. That last song is sick though.

This album is sooo good. I always knew that if I got into The Cure, I'd love them and I was so right

I usually like this stuff but man this sucked

Thank you mother Bjork for inventing art pop

How can you not love Joni

A really smooth and lovely listen, even if I may not regularly revisit.

I loved this so much, such great girl rock

Feels kind of stereotypical of the time, but not bad at all

I LOVED this, literally from the first note. A new favorite of mine.

Good jazz, liked it a lot

Brilliant world music, really beautiful

Definitely very good 00s indie but not my favorite 00s indie.

The Flaming Lips are a band that the internet has been telling me I'd love for a long time, and honestly, the internet was right

Wow, this is one of those moments where you listen to an album and are just immediately infatuated with it. I see this being a regular spin for me.

I thought this was fun

Quite enjoyed this, though much of it is very reminiscent of his earlier work

Nice in the background, but it doesn't grab you

I can appreciate this for what it is, but I didn't really connect with it

This album is such a victory lap

This is a forever favorite of mine. So innovative and interesting and feminine.

it's everything and more

Fun in the background though I wasn't like mind blown by his guitar chops or anything

I'm not huge on most live albums-- this one certainly isn't bad, but I don't feel like I got something I couldn't get from the studio version

I loooove me some Neil Young

This is not Bowie's best

As a writer, I prefer some of his contemporaries, like Cohen, Drake or Buckley

I thought this was a very good country album-- I love Emmylou Harris-- but not something I see myself revisiting

This is like... fine but it's kind of frustrating how many seminal pop albums were excluded in favor of random British dudebands

I'm not huge on Queen, but this a pretty good. Probably the best I've heard from them so far.

This my desert island album-- it's all I ever need to sustain me

This is a perfect album from a great voice.

I wasn't majorly in love with it, but can definitely see it being a grower

This album turned me into one of those conservatives who always complain about modern art

I lov lou
