The Marshall Mathers LP
EminemThis is music for dorks who think they're tough. Eminem is an uber dork.
This is music for dorks who think they're tough. Eminem is an uber dork.
So dreamy
This was an experimental album with our money as target.
This is still a great album
This was a twangy cosmic horror. Country and some songs had polka accordion. Why.
I enjoyed some of the songs but felt that much of the album was generic. It was still interesting to listen to it.
The album sounded like primo 1950s in a good way. I was surprised by how many songs I recognized but had heard performed by others.
I don't know the last time I had listened to this album start to finish and it was so much more than I remember it being. This definitely belongs on the list.
This was a challenging listen. Jazz is not normally my main squeeze but I did enjoy it knowing how influential it was to artists that I love
This was an enjoyable jam.
I liked it! It was like being serenaded with covers and new songs by a proto punk band.
It was fine. I was not particularly into it. It seemed to have fallen into the trap of influential at its time but I've heard it so far after its release. I've heard who they have influenced and enjoyed that far more.
This was a complicated listen. I thoroughly enjoyed it but the artist's personal life ruins it some.
This was another complicated listen. It rated a 2 to me because it was so long and very samey.
I enjoyed it but it seemed very much a cocaine fueled product of its time.
It was jazzy but not really my jam.
This takes me back to MTV and Perry Farrell's screechy voice. I still love it.
This is a distinct difference from the hair metal rock that came before it. I wouldn't call this album great but it was an okay listen.
Blech. This is not my favorite of U2 albums. 2/5
Absolutely stunning.
Cool but dated
It was a pleasant listen but not one that I will likely listen to again.
A lot of great songs but interesting to hear the album as a whole with many songs that were not as strong.
<3<3<3
What more to say than legendary?
Previously, I had dismissed Anthrax as bog standard metal but that was refreshingly progressive.
Just a delightful listen.
The first song was a banger. I liked this far more than I expected to.
There were many excellent songs on here but this one falls into the trap of being too popular and becoming generic.
So boring 2/5
Many great songs and many so-so songs. This album could have used an editor.
This sounds like the granddaddy of metal but very current. I'm impressed, though it's not my typical listen.
This was a twangy cosmic horror. Country and some songs had polka accordion. Why.
Funky but in a kind of generic way. Looking at the date, it seems like similar music that I'm familiar with from the 70s originates with this album making it proto-70s funk. neat.
There were some songs I had heard by other groups but this was fairly meh.
Absolutely enjoyed this and had never heard it before. A few of the songs sounded like proto-Stereolab
I was ambivalent to this but the piano ending to Crime of the Century (last song) was beautiful.
It was a solid 3/5 stars.
Solid 3/5. Not necessarily anything that I need to revisit but not terrible.
It was a-ok. There were a few songs to enjoy but mostly filler to me. 3/5
It was an okay listen but not likely to repeat it.
This is a mega fave!
Very meh
This was immensely enjoyable.
Who liked this? There are a few songs that are bangers but most of it is awful.
This album is one of my all-time-faves.
Nice to listen to this again
Solid listen
A lot of fun poppy songs on here.
Some of the songs are great but I just can't with MJ the person. Rating it 2/5 BAD
There was a lot to unpack with this album
This seemed like the precursor to acid rock and was an enjoyable listen
Not a bad album but not my fave Kate Bush album.
This was an enjoyable listen and I recognized several songs as covered by others
Enjoyable, hip album
What a great reminder on how much I love this album.
I felt like I was deeply immersed in the cool 60s until Lou Reed start singing about dingdongs. Still an enjoyable listen.
Some high hits and some misses.
That took me back to the 90s
Continuing with the 90s, this album was more tolerable to listen to than when it was on repeat.
I had never listened to the entirety of this album before. It was an okay listen but will not likely listen to again.
Absolutely enjoyable
Jazzy, funky fun It wasn't on spotify, I listened to it on youtube.
Hot beats and casual misogyny. It's enjoyable but there is definite cringe
His understated voice is beautiful.
It wasn't great and wasn't terrible.
This would not have been my pick for 1001 albums.
Her voice is beautiful.
So dreamy
It's nice background music.
Fun listen
Another nice background listen.
Rhymes and good flow coupled with talking about difficult social issues
Why was it so long.
Standard White Stripes
Great listen again.
Excellent background chill music
This is music for dudes to try to get laid, right? Meh
I liked how this just seemed very 1980.
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed this album when it came out.
I think I need to admit I am not a Bob Dylan person. It was okay.
The older I get, the more I dislike this album
It's been a long time since I listened to this.
The only thing not making this a 5 is the rampant homophobia.
Another album with great beats and infused with steady homophobia and misogyny :|
Bops and weirdness because Michael Jackson.
What a delightful weird listen
Ugh, Coldplay.
Thoroughly did not enjoy it
Very much not my jam and kind of boring.
Still not a Bob Dylan person but I did enjoy this one more than the last album. The lyrics are great and I've enjoyed these songs performed by others.
I had almost forgotten about hip hop inclusion of joke/skit tracks
This album has stood up!
I enjoy this album and it's so soothing to listen to. Her other albums are even better, though.
Mostly a ho-hum but fine album.
What a fun listen
Another great re-listen
So many great re-listens this week.
It seemed very dated but an okay listen.
So close to good but Johnny Rotten is such an edgelord.
Fun & jazzy album
It was inoffensive but nothing special
I still dig it.
More rock than I had expected with my little knowledge of their later soft pop career.
Some good songs, some schlocky schlock.
Super enjoyed this proto new wave album
This is a fave
Beautiful background music.
Best band named after a pneumatic dildo.
Another excellent relisten. I appreciate that it is aggressively bilingual.
An enjoyable listen to the classics
Christmas and Phil Spector, an abysmal combination. The voices are beautiful but the music is blech.
Beautiful voice but seems dated and very adult contempo
For the sick guitar licks it is a good listen
That was a fun listen.
I enjoy this album but still not my most favorite Radiohead album.
Very cliche 70s though based on the inclusion, I assume this was the start of it
Great relisten!
Dudes pretending to be cowboys will never not be funny. Still an enjoyable listen.
What a weird, wonderful listen.
I found this boring
How could you not enjoy this?
<3
It was okay but not anything I will likely listen to again.
This was far better than I had anticipated. I would relisten.
Smooth jazz. It was so smooth but I'm not smooth enough to enjoy it.
I'd heard samples but not listened to before. Enjoyable and will relisten for background music.
An excellent introduction to chill triphop
This album is one of my top 90s picks.
I'm singing high. I'm singing low. -this album It's not a bad album but I'm not going to be extolling its virtues on high.
I enjoy Frank Black immensely. No one song stood out but I would relisten to this as an album
Indie album with a few honorable mention songs. I wish this was a 10 point scale because 3.5 is where it belongs to me.
Courtney Love is problematic. This album is a gem.
I both like and dislike this album. I think it's the issue that I've heard all of these songs innumerable times and they've become banal. I tried to imagine what it would be like to hear this album for the first time and it's solid.
I understand why this is sampled so frequently.
Every single song is excellent.
I didn't expect this to be such a chill listen
This was a fun punk listen.
These blues didn't make me blue
Jam bands are not my jam.
Note, if you're listening to this on spotify, one of the versions of this album is listed as 2+ hours long. Only the first 10 tracks are actually from this original album. It also says 2010 but the original album was released in 1980. I thoroughly enjoyed this album and could hear its influences in Lou Weed, err Reed, REM, and even a Minutemen track.
This album was a sampler's dream. Great beats and lyrics.
I had never heard of this album before. It was a wild trip to listen to it slide through triphop, jazz, and back around again.
Peter Gabriel was much improved by breaking out solo. Genesis was made even worse by making Phil Collins their lead singer.
An okay listen. It was an interesting combo of 70s rock and 80s punk. I probably won't relisten, though.
Chill jazzy background music. I dig it.
It sounded like dated late 80s/early 90s dance music but it did sound like the pre-cursor to a lot of music that I have enjoyed.
A nice fresh listen for a Sunday evening.
Solid early hell metal. Rock on.
Almost every song is a banger.
Love everything about this album
This album was so much better than I anticipated. There were rock songs, nods to musicals (not my fave but an interesting take), and even a brass send off.
A little jam, a little rock'n'roll.
A haunting listen!
This was unlistenable drivel. I felt like I was trapped in folk concert hell and the only way out was through a patchouli hurricane.
Powerful rock anthems!
Some of the songs were groundbreaking. Some sounded like a dude with a synth on a dare.
An essential rock album
Mediocre but not as terrible as I feared it would be. I'd give it a 2.5 but 3/5 is close enough.
This was an a-okay listen. For how much after it sounds like this album, it's so difficult to think of a timeline without the Isley Brothers.
Indifferent on this one. Nothing struck me as interesting or catchy about it.
It's impressive that this is from 1977 and yet it sounds so contemporary for many of the songs.
Relaxing, deep vocals and jams. This sounds like a beautiful 60s-70s throwback but with a modern twist. An unexpected wonderful listen.
Not particularly interested in boring nu-metal or what started the boring nu-metal phase.
This was satisfactory background music for me.
Music to rue your ex to
I need to admit to myself that I love David Bowie's fashion sense but am mostly indifferent to his music. This album is fine but not exceptional.
Sounds like I also need to add that I must admit I am not a fan of the Boss. I understand his significance but I don't have to enjoy it.
This was thoroughly enjoyable!
I do not understand the fuss for this album.
Blech
So good. So 60s.
This album is a superb mess. Separating the artist from the work gives it a 4/5. Throwing in the current scandals makes some of the songs like Monster incredibly chilling.
This was a fun listen.
I did not find anything super exciting about this album. It was fine.
The title song is 22+ minutes of Germans being weird and I loved every minute of it.
I enjoy MBV but I'm not sure there was a single song that I would say was exceptional on this album.
Legit great album.
This was an important listen.
This album is a little dated but still a joy to listen to. Beth Orton providing some of the vocals is also A+
Some songs were very powerful (title track, Illegal Search) while others were dated and did not age well (6 Minutes of Pleasure that clocked in at under 5 minutes, casual sexist mentions.) A conflicted 3/5
It's tricky not to rate this a 5, it's so close.
Perhaps this was instrumental in that quintessential 80s sound but it just sounded like generic 80s music to me.
This was a lot of Bob Marley for a person who does not care for Bob Marley.
This is the Irish version of the 60s. Highly indifferent to it.
The songs + her voice are absolutely beautiful. This is not my style of music but the merit rates it
Some great songs
1970s weirdness personified is John Cale.
The sampling on this album continues to be divine.
Beautiful voice and it was like being wrapped up in cozy songs that I already knew.
Unsure if I find this album banal or that I've heard American Pie so many times it is a trite 8 minute slog.
Treating this as a tutorial of Indian music made it fascinating.
This was very much a slice of a day for 1968
A fun listen!
Listening to Tom Waits is like getting sucked into a time vortex where all music is a step off, vaguely threatening, and could be played in a seedy bar called Ole Scratch's. But also, you love it.
This was a nice a goth listen on a cloudy day
Intricate metal that sounds like the start of later metal. A decent listen.
This album overwhelmingly aged well
Music for dorks by a dork.
Still as enjoyable as the first time I heard it.
Yuck. It's the worst of all worlds: Christian music and country.
That was an unexpected joy to listen to. It had nice hints of 80s weirdness + proto-ska
This album screams high school to me even though it was released well before I was in high school.
I really enjoyed listening to this album. I had heard individual songs but never the entire album in a listen-through.
The album has some good sampling on quite a few songs.
It's like an album devoted to god & weed.
This was an a-okay listen.
70s boring listen.
The songs were okay but again, I am just not a big Bowie fan.
This was an enjoyable relisten. I forgot how many songs were on here that are absolute bangers.
It's an okay rock album but not high on my list.
One of my all-time favorite albums!
It's interesting listening to this with the knowledge that he ended up on Law & Order SVU.
Relaxing background music.
This one did not draw me in as much as I expected it to.
It's an okay background listen.
This album continues to be infinitely replayable.
Such a fun listen and does not sound horribly dated!
Generic mid-90s, precursor to the ska revival
This album smells like ditch weed and polyester
Another great relisten!
An a-ok rock album
Super guitar licks!
This is a great example of an album that is meant to be listened as a whole and not just individual tracks.
1.) The album cover is a cosmic nightmare. 2.) Chocolate Cake drops a lot of names that were relevant in 1991 and have resurged in relevance in 2021/2022. 3.) The fadeout track I'm Still Here is like a coke fueled taunt song to the audio recording staff.
Is it the best album about buildings and food? Yes.
I feel like I was transported to an elevator; a sexy, sexy elevator.
It's a daydream worthy album!
I found the first song, Dolphin, unlistenable but the rest of the album was an a-ok listen and I'm glad I didn't turn it off. I hadn't realized that Everybody's Talkin' was by Fred Neil and not Harry Nilsson
I recognize a few songs that have been sampled and the licks are good.
Not a bad 80s rock album.
Nico is like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket on a brisk morning while having a cup of tea.
It was a cool listen with modern and folksy elements.
Missy Elliott can do no wrong.
Solid 80s rock with lyrics that will make you want to sing along and rebel
Some of the songs were bangers and sounded like the 70s. Other songs were extra cringe and sounded like the 70s.
Acid rock with a little influence of folk peeking through.
That album was amazing. The supporting artists on it, the song choices, just everything.
While I am not the biggest Bowie fan, I was impressed by how modern this album sounds.
This was a high-five from the 90s and sounds like the granddaddy of albums that came later.
Another great relisten
It was an okay rock album.
I enjoyed it but not my favorite Morrissey album.
This was jazzy, cool background music.
I had forgotten how much I had enjoyed this album
That was far more enjoyable than I had expected. It was a little proto ska, punk, rock album
Another solid rock album.
A lot of misogyny in here but also a lyrical slice of life.
Another weirdo high-five from Steely Dan.
Is the title a lie? Maybe a little but the album is anything but rubbish
This album was an unexpected love when I listened to it the first time
Some great songs and some mediocrity in here.
This was an interesting listen. I liked it.
I love Bob Mould!
This was a rough listen and sounded like dork music.
Hohum listen
Another challenging listen. From singing a song about his drug-addicted mother who struggled raising him to rapping about murdering people, this was tough.
It was an enjoyable background listen.
I just love this album; no hate involved.
I had never listened to the whole album. I hadn't realized the extent of rock and jam that was combined.
What a weird, weird album
I really enjoyed it. I hadn't heard this before. What a treat!
A fun listen with rock and a little blues tossed in for good measure.
I had forgotten how long the title track is. Good jam.
I love everything PJ Harvey
It was an a-ok listen. This album was never my jam but I'd never actually listened to the whole thing in a go.
I can't say enjoy is a term I would use with this album but it was a really interesting listen. I noticed that the first song has been sampled by MIA. I also recognized that several songs had been covered by other bands.
A lot of good songs but it was also quite long
This was ho-hum and solidly 3/5
Sick guitar licks and it had become easy to ignore how talented Clapton was in the 70s on how ridiculous his personal life is now.
That was a far funnier album than anticipated. The self deprecating humor of Worst Band in the World was primo.
An enjoyable background listen
Country will never be my fave but I can understand why people like Willie Nelson
I enjoyed this even more on the relisten
Somehow, I had never listened to this in its entirety
This album was so folk, it should have named itself Moonchild
I had a teacher in college who loved Faith No More. I did not enjoy that teacher and had avoided Faith No More. It turns out that they were right about one thing and this album was a banger.
The creator of this list has quite a thing for Steely Dan. It's fine but surely there were other artists in the 70s?
This makes me understand why people enjoy Charles Mingus so much and is often listed as so influential.
I love everything about this album and have since I first heard it.
There were a number of enjoyable songs but also a lot of chaff.
Pure guttural rock
The album is better than the album title would imply!
Not as terrible as some country albums.
It was an okay background listen
This one didn't speak to me
60s blues with a little jazzy backdrop.
This was grating and unenjoyable. If you're into boring instrumentals, this is for you.
This sounded far fresher than expected.
It was an okay album but there are other Fleetwood Mac albums that I enjoy more.
This album reminds me of elevator music in that I have definitely heard these songs as elevator music.
Maybe I'm broken but I have never cared much for Elvis.
Not a fan.
Excellent music from an absolute trashcan of a human.
Bloodbuzz Ohio is still one of my faves.
It's basically an album of absolute bangers
Groundbreaking with rap & rock.
Just ugh
You could say it was Madness that I had never listened to the full album. Listener note, Spotify wasn't showing a lot of the tracks so I listened on youtube instead.
This album didn't have to go so hard but it did.
I am often indifferent to Billy Bragg but being tempered with Wilco and some Natalie Merchant, it's very enjoyable.
A peppy background listen
It was a good listen to the whole album when I had only heard a few songs before.
I don't understand the praise for this album.
I had forgotten how much I liked this album considering my copy was stolen 15+ years ago.
They parented the hell out of the 60s
Paul Simon is an okay listen but has never been my fave.
Eleanor Rigby is one of my fave songs ever.
It's fascinating how fresh some of the songs sound but the album as a whole is dated to the 80s
This album is like getting roped into an 80s dance hall filled with Tab
Is this the beginning of krautrock?
This album must have moved seemlessly from this to kidzbop.
This didn't do much for me. It's was okay.
I <3 <3 <3 this album
This was far better than some of the bland pop that mimicked it.
It's an album of cool and collected bops
Manic Street Preachers just sounds like whiny preaching to me.
I'm not saying it was a bad album but it was very much setting the tone for the 80s.
The drummer from Def Leppard only has one arm. But, this album is an asskicking jam from start to finish
Bonnie Raitt has a beautiful voice but her music doesn't really draw me. Still a solid album.
The only song on here that I would relisten to is Janey Got a Gun
I love the music. I have loved this album since I first heard it. Moby is a creep.
This sounds like transition from the 80s to the 90s but in a delightful way.
High speed punk
Messy people make great albums.
Darkwave for days
Boppin' 80s!
This was an interesting listen since I'd heard many songs from this album but never the complete album
The year is 1973. Things are bleak. The only thing you have to look forward to is another damned Steely Dan album.
This album stood up better than it had any right to
Can You Forgive Her still hits so hard
When I think of The Strokes, I will forever think of The Onion article "That Guy From the Strokes Accused of Looking Like That Guy From the Strokes"
One of my fave albums of all time
An easy background listen
The guitar riffs are sick. It may be an issue with the spotify album but 2 hours of many of the same songs was a bit too long. The core songs are phenomenal, though.
Leonard Cohen never went into dotage. This album is beautiful and powerful.
From before they hit the US!
What a weird interesting album
I don't know that I would ever listen to this album again but it was neat to hear a 1960s take on blues.
This album seems like it has been largely forgotten but it's worth a relisten.
The Who songs are fun to listen to but this live album has the added creepy old man hitting up a young girl. If you can ignore that part for the songs, you're good. If not, pass.
This really did remind me of a lot of artists that came out like Arctic Monkeys, etc.
This album hits hard and is full of hits.
Joni Mitchell has never been someone I've listened to. Generally, her music does not draw me in. Her voice is absolutely stunning, though
Great album, too bad it had to be Morrissey the person. I will never stop laughing when I see Morrissey wearing his own swag.
This struck me as 60s de rigeur
This album is so tight and a great relisten
Solid listen
I don't think I had listened to the whole album before. There were catchy lyrics but also OTT horrorcore
None of the songs on this album really drew me in. It was your average 70s album.
I hadn't ever listened to this particular album which is ridiculous because Aimee Mann is amazing.
It was exactly what I expected
Queer country, queer 50s ballad. Nice listen.
This is an album of classics
This was an interesting listen of Bongo covers.
George Jones had hair that said Philanderer and music that left me asking "Why am I not skipping this entire album?".
This is basically the 70s in an album
Fresh lyrics
There are some bangers on here.
I hadn't realized this album was this old!
A fun re-listen and I'm guessing this album was pushed because of the death of the queen.
Imagine a harmonica blowing in the wind for long stretches at a time. That's this album.
Quite the rumpus. Mansize Rooster is also quite the name.
Prince was a weird due but this album is jampacked with hits
Interesting listen. It combined Irish folk and modern rock. The album was released in the 80s but sounded very 90s.
This not the Husker Du album that I expected on this list but still enjoyable.
Hardcore emo math rock. It was interesting to listen to.
One of the best house albums
Another nice proto hardcore emo album
Party boy sad dance music. I love it.
Solid album from the og drummer from Genesis
Seems like an album about a pervy 70s star
Another good relisten
Interesting acid rock album
While I feel like there is too much Bowie on this list, this is the one that I would include.
Return of the hip hop comedy sketches!
Bob Dylan was out-dylaning himself
Less rock than I had expected but still an enjoyable album.
It's a shame about Evan Dando?
If I had rated this when it was released, it would have been an easy 5 stars. It's hard to know if excessive playing has diminished the value, but it's at a 3.5.
She has a beautiful voice and this album did nothing for me.
It's guttural but also somehow ethereal old timey punk. Tom Waits could sing about dirty socks and it would be fascinating.
This album was surprising to me that it was from 2007 and not the 70s
Yikes. Some of the lyrics on here are purportedly from the perspective of a psycho but they're like 8 different kinds of racist and not effective.
Live Through This is my fave Hole album but this one isn't half bad.
The songs and the interludes are very effective storytelling
You can hear the migration from rock to punk
The worst of ska?
It's weird how this is one of the top selling christian albums of all times.
Was this a K-hole?
Nice background music. I'm too much of a plebe to appreciate much jazz.
Damon Albarn is still a fave
The sisters sledged this one.
A great relisten
I hadn't listened to the full album and it was interesting to listen to it given the context of the summer of 2020.
This album has everything: punk, funk, and a bit of ska
This is stoner rock with electronic organs. The album was not what I would have expected from Smoke on the Water alone.
Not my jam but beautiful music, nonetheless
Somehow, I had never listened to the whole album before. It was a long album but surprisingly solid throughout
This is music for dorks who think they're tough. Eminem is an uber dork.
This slays from beginning to end
In retrospect, this album is incredibly sad. A young teen singing songs for teens but also older adults :|
A good relisten
An enjoyable punk romp
This album is a solid fave.
If you can separate the artist from the group and this album, the album is phenomenal.
The album is mostly a standard Stones album but it bookended by greatness.
Blarf
She was so talented!
This was filthier than the radio cuts would have led me to believe.
Another album of anthems for folks that loved rap rock. Not my style but I can see why they would have really enjoyed this particular album.
Surf music and a political song. This was not what I was expecting.
The album was an a-okay listen. Then I remembered that Dave Mustaine got in a fight with Men's Wearhouse to the point of a lawsuit and I couldn't stop laughing.
Lady of the North was an okay song but most of it was forgettable. Not my style.
Great blues, great guitar.
Dirty singing done right
Surf rock has invaded my bones
An a-ok listen
It was an interesting listen, as I had heard many of these songs covered by others first.
This was an okay album.
Not my fave Costello and did not enjoy the casual dropping of the n word
This was an experimental album with our money as target.
How much can I damn this with feint praise? It would be on repeat in purgatory for how bland it is.
A fun bop of an album
Less blues, more explosion
I felt bloodsplatter listening to this metal album
The song title Suite-pee is hilarious.
Another album of songs that I have heard before but didn't know who sang them!
This album is so industrial, grease flooded out while I played it
The 70s called and wanted you to listen to a good album
Stunning
James Brown being primo James Brown
Rock on, Echo. Rock on, bunnymen.
Better than I expected!
Amazing guitar and blues influences
This album is the remedy to boring music.
Yippee ki-yay, mothertruckers. This is boot scootin', if you're into that. I'm not but I can appreciate it for what it is.
I liked this more than expected
Fun disco rhythms
An hour of listening to 70s dorky rock. No thanks
I maintain Rush is dorky but it's dorky in a fun way
You can't convince me that this isn't about Dave Mustaine's war with Men's Wearhouse.
Damon Albarn was the ultimate Britpop guy.
Your '60s rock band. Note this is not fully available on spotify but can be found on youtube.
This was an awesome 70s rock jam
So perfectly 80s
Richard D James wants you to listen again
Funky and hip
What a beautiful double album.
It was a decent album to listen to but I will not likely listen to it again.
A lyrical story from start to finish
This is one of the most perfect 90s albums
Impressive early 90s rap rock with beats.
I'm not a fan of twang but the lyrics were hilarious.
I'm mighty surprised they let him play at a prison given the lyrics
I'm a hater but I don't really care for Elvis.
Karen Dreijer is a musical genius
I feel like I should have been watching The Wizard of Oz with this.
It was a-ok background music.
Every time I listen to mbv, I want to like them more than I do. It's not bad, I just expect more.
It's fascinating how this album is classified as metal but is so much later than much of the newer metal albums. The progression is interesting.
Robert Smith is a mopey genius.
This album made me want to never listen to music again. Even a song with a punny name Nutrocker did not change my opinion.
This album defined the 90s for me.
This was like listening to dreamy music in an otherwise empty sensory deprivation tank.
Funky soul that has some long cuts and I recognize at least one song that has been heavily sampled
More dreamy background music
A solid 4/5
This was a great album to have running in the background!
I had always made fun of Dire Straits as music for dorks but this was actually a fun one to listen to.
It's interesting listening to this earlier album
Instead of spending valuable time with a therapist, Nick Cave sang about murder for nearly 59 minutes, including a 14 minute murder song. I'm not saying I disliked it, more setting the scene for what you're about to hear.
These disaffected youths grew up to be disaffected middle agers.
Light grungy rock from slackers. I liked it
I enjoyed it. This was the precursor to all electronica music and it's interesting to hear.
Rock, rock, and more rock
This album isn't bad but I likely won't listen to most of the songs again
I feel like I fell because I missed out on this album.
This was an interesting combination of fun music and fascinating lyrics.
I still don't love Metallica but combining their music with a symphony does give it a sense of place that I had not expected.
Jazzy background music!
An a-ok listen
Angsty rock.
Her voice is great and while this is not my style of music, it was still a fun listen.
I don't think this was the rebirth. This was just the straight up birth of the cool.
I liked this quite a bit. Note: the album is not currently available on Spotify but you can find the full album on youtube and elsewhere
I feel like I should be listening to this in a dungeon.
I was too young to have listened to this as a kid but still feel like I slept on it.
I enjoyed the seamless inclusion of English and Punjabi
Last Christmas (not on this album) puts a damper on my George Michael appreciation. This album is absolutely a great first half.
While I don't feel the need to listen through both the mono and stereo versions of the songs, I did appreciate that they were included. Great album.
It's sad to hear powerful anti-racist songs when he's become an unhinged antisemite. Then he hits out with misogynist songs and diminishes how great this album should be.
Return of the 90s hip hop and rap album prank calls!
One of my fave of all time albums
Shirley Manson hunts you down if you don't enjoy this album.
An a-ok background listen
Alt 90s dropping by
I really appreciated the deep cuts and one in Italian.
While not currently available on spotify, it is found on youtube. This was an interesting album to listen to with unexpected flute
I could have continued sleeping on most of this album
Rod Stewart goodness
Another Fave of All Time Albums!
A toned down 80s John Lydon
I don't understand the hype behind Deerhunter.
This is another fave album of all times. I enjoyed the linked version of the album that included Dear God at the end. It's a great song but it breaks up the continuity of the album. For those not aware, it was added at the last minute and was not initially in the set roster. It's a great song, again, but does not fit the flow of the rest of the album.
An enjoyable album
Raw punk!
It still sounds hip and fresh
The album release year on spotify shows as 1995 but it was in '89. Not super useful other than to explain why this is considered groundbreaking because it was for '89.
The album title fits the dirty punk rock well
Simon & Garfunkel will personally hunt you down and give you Clockwork Orange-style concert if you claim you don't enjoy them.
Should be called Album Without A Cause.
The intro to the first song was utter cacophony but further in the album had quite a few enjoyable songs.
I was bored for this album.
Nice 1950s jazz album for the background
Beats and lyrics to listen to
This was a nice upbeat background jam for me
It's been a bit of time since I last listened but it holds up
Rock for the 70s and beyond
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are still loving this album
An interesting take on French 80s rock
A good rockin' 90s album
This album still sounds fresh
I wanted to hate it because Bee Gees but this was actually not too painful to listen to.
A rad listen
It's like a preview of what the 90s would be
Another 60s folk rock album
Sweet tunes are made of this
Metallica doing their metallica thing. I'm not a fan.
This is a me-thing, but I'm very meh on The Beatles. This album is fine-ok.
Nice & chill background listen
I enjoyed it more than I had expected I would.
This album holds up
Michael Stipe commands a 4 star review
Dark, gothy, and mysterious
Bruce Springsteen doesn't do a lot for me but some of the songs on here are more compelling than others.
As far as religious songs are concerned, this was not too bad. This may be partially influenced that since I do not speak the language of the singing, I could just vibe with the music and ignore any proseletyzing.
A jazzy background listen
Genius is not an overstatement here.
I enjoy this album even more than when it was first released.
More psychedelic 60s
When I first heard Stereolab, I was instantly hooked. They're like nothing I had heard but they've had plenty of influence since.
I had heard a few songs off the album and am questioning why I hadn't listened to the full album before. It's a fun neo-up beat album!
A good background listen
Funky Garfunkel and Folky Simon.
Van Morrison doing his Van Morrison thing. If you like that, you'll like this. It's not my thing.
Proto 80s new wave in the 70s!
Proto punk in the 60s
Proof that punk and drag are not new
70s south rock strikes again. Congrats to them for denouncing the confederate flag.
I like but not love this album
I can hear the influences in this 80s album. Not my fave, not my least fave.
Perry Farrell rocking the late 80s. The video for Jane Says is a core memory.
This was not a great listen for me, an adherent of "Any Music but Country".
70s folk dialed in
This album is a great listen. I hear the influences in Bikini Kill and others!
Soundgarden was never high on my list but not a bad album
Further exploration of chavs
Elliott Smith is still a favorite
This album showed me as a teen how weird and wonderful music can be.
Boy George proving that drag is not even remotely new.
Grimey grungey goth industrial
Individual songs I liked but as an album is was just okay. I do hear the influences on other albums, though
An interesting listen
It sounds like David Bowie influenced them and he was influenced by them because that's what happened.
This was rad as hell
Bob Dylan doing his Dylan thing
This is an album that exists. I'm not much for the Beatles. It's fine.
Based on it being on this album, I'll assume this was influential on other albums. But, having not heard this on release, it seems 80s bland to me.
Here's an example of an influential album that certainly influenced folks but still sounds fresh
This was very clearly heavily imitated.
Seminal is over used in reviews but it's appropriate here
Heavy guitar
Timeless
What a weird but fun album
I'm not generally a reggae fan but this album was not half bad
A weird little stop into the 90s.
Definitely maybe not a favorite album
Party dj music
Can Can can a more jam band album? Probably but this is for you folks that like 20 minute jam songs. It wasn't a bad album but not really my thing.
This album is just a pleasant hit of my late 20s
The 60s are alive and well in this album
Her version of American Pie is one of the worst things I have ever heard. The rest of the album is hohum but fine and if it had stopped before that track it would have been unremarkable.
Rockin' 80s
Yusuf/Cat Stevens is here to steal your folk girl.
Talking Heads give me a reason to believe weird is good
The German link between Kraftwerk and Rammstein
So angry, so loud.
It's rock with a flute
Filthy filthy filthy hilarious
Their look and their music don't completely line up
60s folk and jam band.
Y Control is still a fave
I don't understand what is happening here. This seems to be fairly contentious with some people loving it but it's not my jam.
Okay 60s folk
Forgettable 80s
Wild Beasts is always a good time
Fine background but I'm just not a Springsteen fan.
There's a lot more BeeGees than I had expected of zero BeeGees albums on this list
The incomparable Elvis Costello
An a-ok 90's background rock listen
Speed punk that sounds like the precursor to later raunchy punk
This album was so entrenched in my brain as an 80s album, I was surprised it was 79. Not a big difference but still.
This album has great blues undertones
This sounded unbelievably fresh and modern.
Killer bass, killer lyrics
I'm thinking Joni Mitchell has a beautiful voice but her music is just not my thing
This is one of my fave albums.
Prince was a talented & complicated weirdo
What a perfect Bjork album
It was a fairly forgettable album to me.
This was not what I was expecting based on the album. Nice chill listen
A fun early 80s album to listen to
A good and quick punk album
Early Aught's Pop is fine
Quiet and loud background listen!
Folky background music
This was a great listen!
This is great music to work to!
A nice 70s listen
Excellent jams
While this is not my favorite LC album, it's still a great album.
This was a rad listen
This one didn't do much for me
It sounds like a lot of other 80s music but this was from 1980. Fairly forgettable other than some great song titles.
Rush is rushing through this album but still fun
Electronica Classical!
Little Richard doing his Little Richard thing
70s blues is not really my thing
Coldplay is sort of my nemesis so I hate to say that while I didn't enjoy this album, I can understand why others do.
Rad listen
Another great Marvin Gaye album
70s weirdo punk!
Australian 80s. The album leads more into the sound of folk bar music than I had expected.
I already have a strong distaste for Phil Collins (love Peter Gabriel, though) and this rambling 70s clusterfuck did nothing to change that distaste for Phil Collins and Genesis.
I enjoy Pet Shop Boys but this is just fine.
An interesting combination of styles and activism. I don't know that it wholly worked for me, but it was very fascinating to hear.
It's just a great excellent for chill listening
A sweet and haunting 80s album
Still not a Bowie fan but this is a pleasant background listen.
Fun punk rock album with heavy metal overtones on some songs.
A high powered vibe to listen to
Throwing Muses is always a good time
This album had some unexpected punk drops. Nice.
'60s nightclub country is not my thing
Amy Winehouse was exquisite
How dare they sully the good name of burrito with this pseudo 60s country rock album
I was indifferent to this one.
I had forgotten how much I adore this album
Beautiful album to listen to
90s cool experimental jazz
Ms Janet if you're nasty kills it on this album
I didn't expect to enjoy this album as much as I did!
Music is great. Lead singer is a creep.
This was more of a background listen than anything else for me
*Listening notes* as of when this was written, this album is available to listen on spotify as part of a double album with his Bambu. This album has the beginning sounds of the early 80s solo light rock that became so prevalent.
Ambience for some jazzy 60s music
This is still a great album
The content did not match what I expected from a late 60s songwriter album.
He seems a wee bit lovesick, no?
They are all powerhouses in their own right, but I believe I prefer them separately. Still a good album, just not entirely my cup of tea.
This was a fun listen
Imagine stuffing a bunch of pillow stuffing in your mouth and screaming along to a speedcore band but it sounds like you're screaming that people should look at you while you have pillow stuffing in your mouth. Singing-meh. The guitar and drums are great hence 3 stars
Interesting listen
It like someone singing through their chocolate starfish.
It was an okay listen.
What a weird but fun 70s listen!
Great album!
Most of this album did not do much for me but not terrible
Chill vibes with preview undertones of triphop.
A nice singer songwriter to listen to!
Party music, covering drug epidemic, and health issues? Rad
Goth psychobilly is apparently my jam
Americana via New Jersey
Another homophobic and sexist album. Boo.
This was an interesting late 80s listen to hear the influence on the future alt-rock of the 90s
It's a little depressing how much the content of the songs holds up still.
Po-mo music
High energy punk rock
Sappy in a sweet way. Karen Carpenter was a rad drummer!
Indie weirdness abounds.
Some of the songs are more folky than others. But overwhelmingly, it is very country and that is not for me. Spotify does not have the complete album on there but there is a playlist was created to mimic it.
Another seminal punk album
Folk and whatnot that overwhelmingly sounds fresher than expected.
Liars are great!
This album is like a continuous of Nick Drake.
Every 70s radio station is legally required to play Boston at least 7 times a day. -fake fact
Piano + lyrics= superb
What if you listened to a Beatles album not by the Beatles?
I bet marching band teachers love this album
Trance hop dance music!
70s bro party rock
Of all of the albums added for 2018, why was it this rehash album?
A fun early 80s album
So Rod. Very Stewart.
It's unclear how much Coldplay copied Doves or Doves copied Coldplay.
This album is a nice exile from ho-hum music
A more mature Bowie for those who love him
Mega funk!
A nice listen
70s hard rock
Still a great early 90s album. I definitely rocked this on my tape player.
Cool 70s!
Cool Brazilian fusion pop
Haunting music about mundanity and more
An absolute treat!
In the album list that got me through college, this is on it.
He can really hit some of those high notes!
The start of some jam music
A hopping 60s bop
Disco fun fest
Cool background listen
Rating based on the album quality and not Kiedis-creep level.
I was not exactly feeling this album or Marilyn Manson for many reasons.
An a-ok album.
This one snuck past me when it was released. I may have heard a few songs before. Ultimately enjoyable.
This was a sappy 70s album
This was fine in the background.
A much slower album than expected. Beautiful music and singing.
John Lennon with more singing about Yoko Ono
Vulnerable Bjork!
The music is phenomenal and the lyrics are fascinating to know that he was stealing his best friend's wife.
Chill background music
Still a good album on relisten
I liked this far more than expected! More rock than anticipated, too.
Fun late 70s light punk pop
Two of my least favorite music genres all rolled up into a dung beetle snack: country & christian music.
Forgettable background music
I suppose it's possible to hear how it influenced what came after it, appreciate it for that, and still not enjoy it.
This further adds to my appreciation for Neil Young. Great Lyrics.
I like it but I also feel like listening to Nick Cave is going to give me tetanus.
More country than I prefer but I am appreciating Neil Young more than I did before
Nico is a distraction but the Velvet Underground are *chef kiss*
I really enjoyed this album that I must have missed when it was first put out!
Just fine background music.
Attack of the smooth jazz
Jam rock bands aren't my jam but this is definitely for someone else.
This was painful to listen to. It had all the worst elements of the 60s and jam bands. I am worse for having listened to it.
60s alleged dreamboat music
Fun listen!
Lyrics are incredible
It's that patchouli-scented guy you knew from college. Not a bad album
Still a great album
The vocalist is pure angst
so funky
This was incredibly rad and I hadn't heard this album before.
The beats are cool but CeeLo Green is a creep
A beautiful and witty album
It's fascinating how contemporary some of the songs sound and some are firmly of the era.
*Listening note* If you don't get the link to spotify, search for the movie soundtrack for Shalimar. An interesting foray
This album missed me when it was released. I enjoyed it.
This is my fave Peter Gabriel album.
None of the songs drew me in but I suspect this is an album that would benefit from multiple listens.
Lazer guided for your ear holes.
Some of the songs are fun, some sound incredibly dated.
Rock metal
They sound like every band you've heard in a bar that thinks that they're going to make it big. Somehow, Kings of Leon pulled it off.
Second best of their albums, too. Still enjoyable.
metal metal metal
Country AF but not a bad listen
This was a fun listen
Hello, today I learned that many of these songs were older than I thought they were.
Who Shot Ya? definitely plays different now. The various sex skits plays like a middle schooler with unrestrained access to youtube.
This was an enjoyable romp into Southern fueled rock.
McCartney leaning into solo after the Beatles.
It's fascinating listening to the morph from 60s bands to what they released in the 70s
It sounds so dated now but it sounded so fresh at the time.
So messy, but such a great album.
I hear a lot of samples that came from this album and influences on later albums.
The mixing is superb and the lyrics are channeling big Mr Yuck face energy.
I love everything Tracy Chapman has done and this is no exception
An a-okay background listen
A spacey 60s jam
Hard rock and I'm not sure why I don't hear more about The Cult now.
So lyrical
Hear the big band influences, island jam band influences, etc. It's a fun listen.
I've never been a big g. Love fan but it was an A-ok listen.
Their foray into dad golf rock
This was a fresh sounding 50s album!
While jazz is not my favorite, her voice is undeniably gorgeous.
Here is the influential goth synth album
There are so many great songs on this album.
Pervy rock with great bass lines
This reminds me how I missed a pocket of music for a time!
Based on the sound of the album, I had assumed this was from later than 68.
This was fairly forgettable for me.
Less disco more trip in this super sweet French album
It's a drunk hard scrabble lounge singer album and I love it.
Still a beautiful album
*Listening Note* Not available on spotify but available on youtube. Absolute guitar gods
*Listening Note* This is available on Spotify but the artist has changed his name: Senanda Meitraya. The album was a smooth bump in the late 80s.
This was from his prime "hair looks like ramen" days. I did not love it.
What a strange 90s art jazz album
British rap that still sounds fresh
Rad rock with a few songs with some ska influences
I can't believe it's not Rod Stewart. It sounded like a harder rock Rod Stewart.
I can imagine how this would have sounded different from music at the time but now sounds so similar to other albums of the era.
It was a fun 80s listen
I was bored with this album when it was released but can see how others loved it.
It was a fun listen
I don't feel like I can fairly rate Bob Marley
Thrift stores around the world weep at the thought of one more Frampton Comes Alive record.
ABBA is always a jam
Bon Jovi bringing mall rock into place
I feel like I'm missing something with this album.
Another album of great music and problematic artist
*Listening note* This was not available on Spotify but could be found on Youtube. Interesting samples but not likely to listen to it again.
Swinging standards
This album is still this year's model.
It starts with tubular bells and ends in a what may be a drug-induced daymare.
I still love how this album punches at nearly everyone.
James Taylor serves up some catchy tunes that I can't say I personally appreciate but I definitely know by heart.
I love nearly every song from The XX
NY State of Mind is my favorite NY song
French language congolese music
I can see how this would have been influential at the time but so many better bands have improved on this since then that it seems banal now.
Jam bands aren't a favorite of mine but I can understand why folks who are jam band friendly would like this album.
Before they were dirty old men, you had dirty not-old men
It was a nice background listen but be prepared that you're in for almost 2 hours.
One of the most appropriate titled albums possibly ever
It evokes strong folky feelings and it's an excellent of singing in the round done well.
This album is a dreamy ride into the sunset.
It is wild to think how well this combines political messages and rock.
It's interesting how some albums sound like they are fresh and this one sounds like it is very 1985 due to the heavy brass.
*Listening Note* It's not currently available on Spotify, but you can easily find playlists of the whole album on youtube. I had previously eschewed Neil Young because I find his nasal singing voice offputting. However, this album from singing to songwriting is a real treat.
This is what the DARE program warned us of.
The stark differences between the songs made this a pleasure
This album has a beautiful combination of the ethereal and uplifting.
This album makes me feel like I've moved to ROBOLANDIA.
Morrissey is ever present and fully full of him self on this album; why is it still so enjoyable to listen to him be pedantic and whiny?
It was a nice combination of pop rock with a little more emphasis on the rock.
Great album, but be forewarned that it is 2 hours long and benefits listening through in one go!
This was an absorbing listen and while it's not my speed, I could understand why this would be so influential.
Evaluating this for influence and enjoyability, leads to a low rating.
Listening note: this can be found on youtube, if spotify does not currently have it. This was a very long listen. Not great for active listening but excellent for background listening.
The samples that have been taken from this album!!!
It's still a beautiful album
Surprisingly boring!
This is Randy Newman in his prime.
There's not just one Kings of Leon album on this list, which would be too much for my taste. This album is stale and whiny.
This is a lot of Steve Winwood. For some, this would be a draw. For me, it is the opposite.
For anyone dismayed that this album only has one song available on spotify, youtube has playlists of this album. Listening notes, some of the songs were interesting takes, many of the songs were not my speed.
A few songs were highlights
What a lovely album
It's more Captain Beefheart. You can hear the transition into more wackiness in this album.
An interesting listen
It was an entertaining hour of short punk songs.
A fairly banal indie entry with fairly forgettable music.
The far side of the Pharcyde
Funky and great listen
Not my #1 record but an alright background listen
I wouldn't have expected that this would be the album that would be on the list. It's listenable.
While I didn't love the skit interludes, they were musical and better than many album skits I have heard. They're typically so interrupting but not so on this album.
How very 70s
It was a good listen
This was a fascinating listen but sounded a bit dated
I wouldn't say I loved it but I didn't hate it either.
That's So Doors
I love the covers and the originals on this album
Jazzy, easy listening
This album was a scuzzy revelation when I first heard it and I loved it for that.
An album of covers done in the Johnny Cash style.
There are some haunting songs on here.
The soundtrack matches the movies fugue-like state.
High energy, high camp!
This album still crushes it!
I love hearing the influences from this album on other albums!
It's amazing how great most of the songs on this album are in comparison to how terrible Jack White was the first time I saw them in concert in the early aughts.
Excellent chill music
It's a desert-rock band with jazzy influences.
This album sounded so different to the dance music being spun up at the time.
This album was not for me. The beats were great, though.
I appreciate how this album is still listenable.
This was a fun jaunt into 2004
Great album, great samples from this album, too.
Witty and blunt!
:( I don't think I had heard the unedited Money for Nothing iteration. Yikes. I looked it up and there was a whole debate on whether it was appropriate to air the unedited song. You can look into it more but it's an interesting aside to whether it should be viewed from the point of a working class stiff talking or whether the audience will find it appropriate to use that particular slur.
*Listening note* Available on Youtube if not available on Spotify. This album sounds like much of what was to come in the 90s.
You can hear the changing influences in rock from the late 70s.
This would have sounded different from what was coming out at the time but now it sounds banal.
The bluesy rock works on this album
It's wild to think how much their music changed over the 10 years of albums.
While this album was too much for me, I could hear the musical shifting from much of what was happening in the 60s to what became the singer songwriters of the 70s. I did hear influences on Kate Bush, which was interesting to compare how much I enjoy Kate Bush and did not greatly appreciate this album.
These were not the War songs that I was familiar. It was an a-okay listen.
She has a beautiful voice. This was the revamp of the belting singers!
The best part of the song God is where he lists in things he doesn't believe in like cinnamon and yogurt. My man, I assure they all exist and don't care if you believe in them.
Less outlaw, more laidback country
Imagine listening to this album without any of the now known scandals? It would have been a banger.
Instrumental for trip hop and fascinating to hear the reggaeton inspired song at the end that I hadn't heard before.
A mature weirdness from Bjork!
It sounded so different to what was on the radio at the time!
Bringing the feels with the rock
An a-okay 80s listen
This album had constant rotation for years and that only stopped when it was stolen.
Early nineties naughty rap!
Art music meets cool tunes
Trombone heavy and worth a relisten
I didn't like the album then and have not gained greater appreciation for it now.
Such a funky album
*Listening note* If you can turn on a moderate amount of crossfading, this album warrants it. Harmonies! Brian Wilson!
Her voice was stellar
I liked this far more than expected!
Sit down and prepare yourself for an 18 minute long progrock song as the opener.
Hell yes
Frankie goes to Coverland!
This is a great mood setting album
This was mostly background music to me.
Jumping back into the mid 90s with this album
Buckle up, buckaroos. This is 2+ hours of country. If you're into that sort of thing, it is likely quite good. If you're not, it's 2 + hours of country :|
Great atmospheric jazz
I won't spoil it for you but it has a song titled "Sex Dwarf". Previously, I had only known Soft Cell for two different songs but now they will be known for this song.
Swinging 60s French
Hipper than hip early 80s electronica
Tina Turner is masterful in this album!
A fun listen of their music and covers!
It was neither great nor terrible
Chilling with Goldfrapp
This would have been so refreshing at the time and now sounds so similar to what came after it.
A solid album
To quote The Big Liebowski "Fuck the Eagles"
Beautifully produced
The album is best experienced listened to from beginning to end
70s rad rock
If you love Elvis, this album is for you! Not for me, sadly.
The beat and the flow were great. Listening to Da Bichez though took me out of it.
Grimy garage with a sleazy bent
Kooler than kool
Grungy late 80s alive and well
I consider this music that Nick Cave is planning on using to haunt people.
Ready for slightly polished garage punk
Romantically inclined dance pop with an edge
I'm not typically enamored with country but this was an enjoyable country guitar focused album.
Dreamy background music
Are you ready for gruff angry music?
Ladies and Gentleman, in this corner, we have an experimental 70s album. In the other corner, we have your ears. Who will win this battle royale?
Cool songs with a somewhat annoying voice
It's time for prison bangers
It's your grandad's sing-a-longs
Get ready for manic preaching on streets or rock with a purpose
Edgy bro music for the hippie set.
Nick Cave is prodigious with his bad seeds
The evolution of electronic music!
Cool fusion album
This album really ushered in the 90s to me. For me, it has held up for decades.
David Bowie reinvented for the 2010s
This was a ho-hum background album that blended too much into what I've already heard.
If you can get past the slurs, the album is great.
Dreamy background music
The sounds of the 80s
*Listening Note* While not available on Spotify, it is available on youtube. What a beautiful album with harp and accompaniment. I appreciated the appearance of Bill Callahan, even if it seemed brief.
Take a ride with this album
Hauntingly beautiful music
So Peter Gabriel is so Peter Gabriel. This is still great
Great beats, great rhymes
Expansive story telling in dated format
Jack White's Blabbermouth
Socially conscious and great lyrics
Morrissey is so musically talented and personally vile. He embodies the title.
Can Queen do any wrong?
Socially conscious and great beats
It sounds dated now but I would have guessed this was a 70s album and not a 60s album
*Listening Note* While spotify does not currently have the full album available for US residents, it is available on youtube in various forms. . Cool proto punk album with garage sound.
Possibly the most accessible Grateful Dead album yet. Not my jam, but definitely a jam for others.
Are you ready to rock?
While the music was nothing special to me, her voice is powerful and wonderful to hear.
He did the former
Are you ready to groove because that is what this album is dedicated to.
Definitely hits some jam band elements
Beautiful freak album!
A little buffalo, a little springfield
Loretta Lynn didn't have to go this hard
I don't mind being reintroduced to this album
An enjoyable album of Ray Charles singing standards and classics
Ace of Spades is incredibly catchy and recognizable even to those that don't know Motorhead. Jailbait is despicable and taints the whole album.
You, too, can forget what you're playing and create a 17 minute epic of rock history, complete with church organs.
I dare you not to enjoy this album.
An interesting listen
35 minutes of jamming with instruments they found in a cupboard
Wild punk!
Iterate through the classics
It was a happy Monday listening to this
A beautiful fever dream of an album
This album started a mad surge of imitators
They even sound like the go-betweens of 80s to early 90s music
When the Kinks were Beatles influenced
Bob Dylan at his best
Inventive use of instruments
Late 70s grime punk
It's wild to think how many of the songs on here became hits or were already hits for other artists, too.
This reminds me of Queen meets Rush!
Interesting post punk album with Sex Pistols influence
*Listening Notes* This is not currently available on spotify but is available on youtube. The 1980s meets the Weimar Republic music scene.
It was very ahead of its time!
Such a remarkable voice and timing
The Dandy Warhols are still not passe, imo.
Are you ready for mid 90s inventive music?
They started a wave of imitators. So many memorable songs on here.
I wasn't previously familiar with this album but it was an interesting foray into mid-90s reggae.
An enjoyable 70s funky listen
Supreme guitar and singers!
It's giving me big Flaming Lips vocals, but an okay listen.
Great lyrics!
Adult contempo with an edge
I had passed on listening to this in the past as Skunk Anansie was described as hard rock but they are so much more than that!
Tom Waits in his coarse glory
Fast tempo rock!
This album continues to be an absolute delight
If you like Sinatra, you will like this album
Smooth background jazz
An interesting electronica album
Are you ready for some transitional rock?
Jazzy rock!
A less weird Frank Zappa
A blast from the punk rockin' past
A country western light rock album entry
The White Stripes at their best.
Drop into the groovy 70s
Get ready to be punished by Van Morrison.
She's so unusual makes for a great album
Nick Cave has grown on me but this hasn't. If you're interested in gritty gothy rock, this is for you.
A slightly jazzy background listen
Fast & hard punk!
So smooth
Yeah, you better Freak Out
It's wild relistening to this and thinking of how influential The Prodigy has been.
Smooth and jazzy
Interesting chill music
Covers of songs you will recognize
This one did not really draw me in. I suspect it falls victim to my having heard albums based on it that I enjoyed more.
Meat is murder and so is listening to non-singing Morrissey.
Influences of Kraftwerk are pervasive throughout
For people who think there are not enough Oasis albums.
To quote The Big Lebowski, "Fuck the Eagles.".
Early stones sounding a little rock but not as hard rock as they became.
Who? The Who.
It's definitely Led Zeppelin but not my favorite Led Zeppelin.
A fun background listen.
Bring the pain and sit a spell
This one didn't catch me but I didn't hate it either.
It's like post-ska pop band. If that's your thing, you'll dig this album.
British arena rock. It will sound like a lot of other bands that came after it.
Great 80s rock
Forgettable soft country
His swan song into the unknown.
Jump into dreamy pop
The Who songs that you know and like
Kick out the 2000s jams
Only Love Can Save Your Heart is a great cover.
Simultaneously sad and joyful
This album starts off so strong and some of the songs fade off towards the end. Still a fun album
Rave music coming at you
A fun iteration through covers
A good but not great Talking Heads album
Be prepared to bliss out with the 80s!
Meat Loaf opted for the maximum length of songs and added flourishes where they were not necessary. It does give it a charm.
So smooth, so aughty
If you are a reggae fan, this album is for you. Not my jam.
The Weather Report today: disco with some smooth jazz later in the evening.
Not my favorite XTC album; it's not bad but it did not draw me in.
You're going to recognize so many of these songs as covered by other bands!
Perhaps it was groundbreaking at the time. It now sounds rote.
This is yucking someone's yum but: ehh. If you like jazzy covers and smooth singing, you will love this.
Blues for the suburbs. If that's your thing, you'll like this.
What's not to like? It's Leonard Cohen and bangers
Are you ready for... some noise metal?
Is this album one that I will ever listen to again by choice? Nope. Mariah Carey has a beautiful voice and the songs are very exacting, though.
This album is a no for me. If you enjoy prog rock, it will be a yes for you.
A little treat on Monday for me.
Fun, puerile, and mall punk
It's Bob Dylan and exactly what you would expect. Bob is Bobbin'
Be prepared to dance
...And Metallica For All Whether you want it or not
If I Could Only Remember Any of The Songs After Listening. It wasn't unenjoyable but none of the songs stuck out for me.
It's an album devoted to TMI.
Who likes this album? Me, myself, and I (and a lot of other folks)
This definitely helped bring along the early 80s albums
Do you want to feel sad about yourself for a few songs? Pop this on.
It's Randy Newman: singing what he sees.
I wouldn't say this album is hunky dory but it might just be dory.
Are you up for some psychedelic rock? This links to the remastered double album, so hope you're ready for 90 minutes of it.
Not a bad album, but forgettable for me.
Semi-psychedelic
A great album with inclusions of the dreaded rap album comedy skit.
This album is hoppin'
It's an album of stoner rock
Beautiful music that is NSFW
Fill your pockets full of rocks. No, more rocks. No, still more rocks. Now you're ready to rock for the highway to hell.
A chill background listen
Aptly named album
Beautiful scene setting music
Moody music to play in the background
An interesting foray into lowfi beats
Sit down and listen a spell
