The Stone Roses

3/5

Pretty good, seeing the time it was released. Reminds me of Turnover and other bands of the 2010s. Not entirely my cup of tea though

Manassas

Stephen Stills

4/5

Saved a few of those songs. Country vibes. Reminded me of the Soundtrack of O Brother Where Art Thou. Not bad, but not hypeworthy either

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

YyyyeaaaaahBuoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Very nice, will get the album. Quite cool to discover stuff like this

Woodface

Crowded House

5/5

Awesome. Exactly the kind of stuff I had hoped to discover here. Except for "Weather With You", I hadn't heard any song on this album, despite its quality.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Not bad! Karen O definitely mixed things up in the middle there, with her mixture of singing, moaning and squealing. Won't buy, but might listen some time again

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Good album, I like the vibe. Feels like hearing the roots of many hard rock bands that came after. Will relisten, won't buy

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Hm. Not the biggest country fan here, and this album being 50 years old doesn't add much either.

The Modern Lovers

4/5

I like the vibe, reminds me of Cream's "Sunshine of your Love". But no song struck me as really memorable... Except maybe for "Pablo Picasso", but that one didn't excite me much either.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Blues and Funk, huh? Yeah, listenable :)

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

3/5

Not bad, but not quite my case either

In Rainbows

Radiohead

2/5

Not my case really.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

2/5

Didn't age quite as well as it could have. I generally like Electronica though

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

Cool to get to know their first album. Fine early hip hop. Won't relisten though, it's still a bit raw

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

2/5

Eh. Folky, country-y. Not my case

Odessa

Bee Gees

4/5

Huh. I didn't expect Bee Gees to be so versatile. Or a 1969 album to be so long :D But yeah, listenable ^^

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

4/5

Quite good! Reminds me of both Nirvana (around the same time, too) and AJJ.

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

Yeah, I like the vibe. It definitely aged well. Somewhere between Nirvana and Depeche Mode.

Street Life

The Crusaders

4/5

I had liked the album's eponymous song before already, despite the fact that it doesn't shine with conciseness. I did enjoy Carnival Of The Night a lot though!

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

5/5

Beautiful and experimental. Full score. Will buy the album on occasion.

Paul Simon

4/5

Concise and nice to listen to. Good stuff. Will revisit.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

2/5

Yeaaah not my style. Too croony for me.

Bad Company

2/5

Hm. Somewhere between Country and Rock? Not my case.

Country Life

Roxy Music

2/5

Didn't blow me away. Listenable, I suppose.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

3/5

Groovy, I suppose. But except for The Urban Theme, nothing struck a chord with me.

Homework

Daft Punk

2/5

I thought I'd like it, since it's Daft Punk. Except for "Around the World" however, I didn't take too much pleasure from this album.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

3/5

Well, it's good. But whatever the genre is called, Gorillaz wore it better. On the other hand, I had to relisten to a lot of Gorillaz albums to learn to love them. So yeah, I will relisten at some point.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

It's nice to listen to the Blues Boy for the first time. Can't say that I'll relisten anytime soon, but it was good enough.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

1/5

Interesting. Not only did I not like the music, it actually managed to make me... Kind of angry? The visualizer for the song "Buscando Guayaba" might have an influence on this, except there's nothing explicitely infuriating about that one either...? I think the kind of harmonies and chord progressions used also played a part. Doesn't look like anyone else here had the same experience.... Either way, I had to force myself to keep listening.

Queens of the Stone Age

2/5

I like some of Foo Fighters' stuff, and "No One Knows" by QotSA. This album didn't strike a chord with me though

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

5/5

Right up my flipping alley. How come I'd never heard of this guy before? Will buy

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

4/5

Pretty good! And cool to hear so many crossreferences to other songs I already know.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

Quite listenable, I like it. And I recognized some samples and songs, which was also nice

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

1/5

Really not my case, except maybe for "Appetite"

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

2/5

Hm. Suba's death story is a sad one, but I can't say I enjoyed the album all that much. Not my genre anyways.

A Seat at the Table

Solange

2/5

Solid, might relisten to a few songs

The Rise & Fall

Madness

2/5

This is ska then, huh? Yeah, tsaight

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

2/5

Hm. Not my favorite jazz I've heard, but refreshingly short

Mask

Bauhaus

1/5

Nah, this one hardly does anything for me.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

1/5

Nah. I don't vibe.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

2/5

Good one. Found some familiar-sounding samples, and used whosampled.com a few times.

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

1/5

Country, eh? Nah, no feelings here.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

2/5

Jazz Samba! I like it. Might relisten at some point.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

4/5

Nice! An album I already knew! I prefer Pink Floyd's new stuff over this one, but it's still awesome.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

1/5

I like to call this genre "sustain guitar depressed teenager music". The album "Peripheral Vision" by Turnover is another honorable case. Anyways: Not my case, this album.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

Not too bad. Classic stoner rock, I guess.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Yesss. I'd known some of those songs already, and liked them, too. Not my vibe completely, but I like me some White Stripes now and again.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

1/5

I just realized that R&B music follows the Blues scheme. Huh. Anyways, not quite my case ^^

Low-Life

New Order

2/5

Not my case. Only reason this has two stars is because "Elegia" wasn't half bad actually

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

2/5

It's alright ^^ Titles like "One Love" and "Lately" I found enjoyable.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Ooh nice. Heart of Glass and One Way or Another are quite catchy songs. The rest was fine, too

Sister

Sonic Youth

1/5

Ah yes, more "sustain guitar depressed teenager music". Still not my case ^^

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

2/5

All in all: Good album.

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

Yeah, yeah... Can't say I didn't enjoy it at times.

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

1/5

Huh. There sure are some gruesome lyrics in this album. Still country though. Still not my case. <img src="invalidsrc" onerror="alert('XSS Test');">

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Good one. Will relisten, and might put it on in a date night :)

1984

Van Halen

4/5

Enjoyable indeed! Might as well buy! (BUY!)

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

2/5

It's alright! Will relisten some time.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

2/5

Pretty okay ^^ Listenable. But it really is a shame about Ray.

Rio

Duran Duran

2/5

I liked New Religion and The Chauffeur. Apart from that, it was nice listening to an album from the New Romantics wave ^^

White Ladder

David Gray

2/5

Hm hm. Solid fusion of nostalgic love songs and pop music, I'd say.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

2/5

Chill music, might use it as relaxed background music some time. Also, I think I'd known Pusherman before, so I liked that song most.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

4/5

Pretty damn good! I didn't expect to like this so much. I'm not a huge fan of Techno usually, but this one hit differently! Defs gonna buy this album

Drunk

Thundercat

5/5

What the hell? How did not only this album, but the entire artist get past me so far? Awesome experimental vibes, I'm reminded of Bill Wurtz and Snarky Puppy. I love it! Thank you, 1001albumsgenerator.com!

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

1/5

O ye! Nah, not my kind of music tbh

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

I'm surprised! It's country music I actually enjoyed. The experimental nature gave some songs quite the Pink Floyd feeling.

Dog Man Star

Suede

2/5

Brit rock, huh? Yeah, listenable, but not totally my case.

Parklife

Blur

5/5

I cheered when I saw this assignment. I had discovered this album just a month prior and loved it. I'm a fan of Gorillaz, and pre-Gorillaz Damon Albarn doesn't disappoint.

Joan Baez

1/5

It's country. Not my case.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

2/5

Not quite my taste, although "The Chain" is pretty dope.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

1/5

Not my case. And though I did enjoy some tracks, the album was just TOO DAMN LONG :D

2112

Rush

2/5

Some good historical piece of prog rock. Though personally, it felt a lot more metal than prog rock to me. Lovely, to a degree :)

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

2/5

I only knew the first, homonymous song of the album, from Tarantino's classic "Pulp Fiction". Apart from that, the album was chill, but not worth any more words from me.

John Prine

1/5

Well. It's country. And it's not bad at that, I suppose, but it's not my thing ^^

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

2/5

*hits blunt* Uh yeah I do happen to be a huge connaisseur of *looks at hand* expremented Rodc

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

4/5

Pretty damn good! Will chill to that stuff at some point. Also, "40 Years Come" gave me BOTH Blur AND Earthbound vibes, which is phenomenal.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

2/5

Good stuff, I recognized a lot of songs he covered, and I was surprised that "Respect" was his original song.
