wow - never listened to her and I was blown away. quite a singer songwriter - I get the hype now

kinda boring - prefer johnny singing country

bland generic smooth jazz. feel like I spent the last 45 minutes in an elevator

Masterpiece. Among the top 5 albums of the last 20 years. Some of the songs on here are in the all-time pantheon. I might argue Tunnels is my favorite opening track on any album, ever.

surprisingly really enjoyed this album. thought Leaving Las Vegas and Strong Enough back to back was really great. I always forget that Sheryl Crow is older than you think (was in her 30s in the early 90s) - which makes some of the references to the 60s in the songs make a lot more sense.

average. a couple famous riffs I had no clue before where they came from.

A little underwhelmed with the album as a whole - wanted to like it more as I've always thought Cheap Trick was great. Surrender is a 20 top song of all time for me.

a couple bangers but generally just middling for me. not really my thing, funk/disco sound.

don't get the hype. any of it.

Love Brazilian music, don't get Frank Sinatra.

3 great songs (Jungle, Paradise, Sweet Child), not much else.

nah, not good. and the album cover freaks me out.

great album.

Great album. Can't believe I've never even heard of the band before. Nick Lowe vibes. Another Girl, Another Planet reminded me of something, but then I found out Blink182 covered it - seems right.

over rated. hallelujah unquestionably great - but he didn't even write it. lover, you should come over best song on album

never really been an eagles fan but have to say I liked this album. nightingale is a song I had not heard before that I really liked.

just don't really care for Janis Joplin.

an album people like because of the story, not because it's actually good

decent album. interesting that The Food is on the album, because it was originally on the Chapelle Show but then didn't make the DVD due to rights issues.

great dance pop album.

good album, not my favorite Talking Heads but definitely listenable

amazing album. first disc only slightly better than the second. first 7 songs really hit.

wow never heard of this in my life, yet there are a couple riffs that I've definitely heard before. Not something I'm going to listen to a lot but rather like it.

decent punk album. doesn't blow my socks off but don't hate it either. sounds pretty much like what I'd expect an early 80s punk album to sound like.

not a fan of RHCP but have to admit this is a pretty good album. even the songs that aren't top 40 hits are solid. like it more than I expected.

I've only recently come around to early Beatles. After all these years I think I can finally say this is a pretty great album.

it's okay - I just can't get into Kraftwerk....and I like techno.

great album - gimmie shelter obviously the star (and one of the all time great songs to lead off an album). the rest of the album is just okay by me, but still a solid stones album.

on the first song I swore I was listening to some German industrial... and that's before he was talking about taking Berlin. and I didn't think I was going to like this album, then it surprised me. not something I'd put on a lot but I dig it.

I started out thinking I was going to like this a lot. Then it went downhill. The songs all sound a like and the droning that I enjoyed for the first couple tracks quickly became grating. The cover of Downtown is particularly odd.

actually can't say I've listened to any part of the album other than the hits. I'm shocked how much I like the balance of the album. deserves it's credit.

I like morrisey but his music is just so odd to me. not sure how I feel about this album.

Classic Bowie. Great stuff.

felt like a well balanced album. liked it. nothing much more to say.

didn't hate it - actually thought it wasn't all that bad. two for the price of one was my fave.

middling - American Girl only song I really enjoyed. almost rounded down to 2 on this one.

nope. but I will say I like some of the beats.

I do like some Frank Zappa....but definitely not this album

Classic album - not my favorite Pink Floyd era (so personally would give it a 4) but bumping it up to a 5 anyways because likely the best Rock Opera of all time

Had not listened to much Willie Nelson, or much classic Country music. Really liked it. Would listen to more of the Red Head Stranger in the future.

Masterpiece. Among the top 5 albums of the last 20 years. Some of the songs on here are in the all-time pantheon. I might argue Tunnels is my favorite opening track on any album, ever.

Wow. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this album. First, I've seen Dylan in concert twice, both times it was terrible and ruined my opinion of him. Second, this is an era of his I've never listened to before. This album is great. Masterpiece.

Only listened to the first disc - couldn't stomach 3 hours of it. Might go down after the first disc, so 3 is perhaps generous. I did like what I heard though.

I liked it. The highs are really high and the rest of it is pretty solid 50's rock. Don't know if I can justify giving it more than a 3 though, but liked it.

3 pretty big hits are great; the rest just okay (all sounds alike). not great, not terrible.

Some of my favorite Hendrix songs are on here (i.e. Castles Made of Sand), but this is probably my least favorite Hendrix album. Just not that deep.

surprisingly really enjoyed this album. thought Leaving Las Vegas and Strong Enough back to back was really great. I always forget that Sheryl Crow is older than you think (was in her 30s in the early 90s) - which makes some of the references to the 60s in the songs make a lot more sense.

fine album, not really my thing but some hits and decent covers

Didn't like this as much as Blood on the Tracks. Like a Rolling Stone is hard to beat. Actually like both ends of the album as Desolation Row is also classic

A let down, more like 'this album is rubbish'. Thought this album would be better. There were a few songs that I liked but this basically confirms I come out on the Oasis side of the ledger.

decent album. not my favorite not the worst. I really dislike Aerosmith though, so will never get over walk this way.

wanted to think this was better - but wasn't crazy about it. the fact that it has hurt (one of the best songs ever written) meant I had to give it a 3, otherwise it might have gotten a 2.

Put me to sleep. Nothing else to say.

love sultans of swing but the rest of this was just pretty boring.

really enjoyed the album. surprised at how much actually. only one really well known song, but the rest of the album filled in nicely.

Really enjoyed this album. Only the second National album I've heard. Found this one far less depressing. Reminded me of Joy Divison/New Order at times.

not sure why I'm not giving this a 1...

Never heard of the Saints before but I really liked this. An album that is 40 years old but feels like it could have been made yesterday. Enjoyable all around.

Love this album. As into Britpop as I was, I cannot believe that I've never hear of this album, nor the band. I don't know I can give it a 5 but it's an album I'd come back to over and over.

Has a funky feel to it. Really a smooth jazz album more than anything else. I feel like I'd enjoy this is a dark martini bar.

Great album, falls just short of a masterpiece to me. Amazing the sounds that Hendrix could get out of his guitar.

Just not a fan of the Clash. And if I was going to listen to an album it'd be Combat Rock. I suppose this probably influenced a lot of artists in the 70s but just sounds dated.

great album. just totally imbued with the sound of voodoo and the swamps. love zydeco and this is way at the top for me.

know that people have a high feelings for wire but I just don't get this late 70s punk at all.

The definitive Christmas album for me. I don't even like Christmas music but if I was going to listen to one this would be it. Just a huge wall of sound throughout.

surprised at how much I liked this album. bell bottom blues is such an under-rated song.

sounds like some all the other modern psychedelic bands, just not as good. a snoozer for me.

Not good. A song about Gary Gilmore? Really?

bland generic smooth jazz. feel like I spent the last 45 minutes in an elevator

Wow. Great album. Group I have heard spoken about a lot, and now I get it. Put this up there with Tribe Called Quest as some of my favorite rap progenitors.

unlike my wife, I don't hate Yes. but I thought this was a pretty average album. one really great song, but the rest was generic prog rock.

nothing special, until I got to heard it through the grapevine. one of the craziest covers I've ever heard...loved it.

realizing I think there is only one great Pulp song. remember when this album came out and it got a lot of accolades, not sure why.

Do like Jane Said, nothing else

loved this album. can't believe that I had never heard of her before. definitely will keep listening.

hate Aerosmith but surprisingly didn't hate this as much as I thought I would. nothing else to say

nondescript

again nondescript

pretty average Britpop

love Earth Wind and Fire. just an average album I'd say but I would listen to it again.

one of my favorite albums ever - a true masterpiece front to back. Amsterdam is such an underrated song. Coldplay's best album bar none, and one of the best of the last 25 years

boring, seemed like I was in an elevator, I won't say it was bad, it was just non-descript

boring ska - couldn't hardly listen to the whole thing.

not my thing

Average. I get that people like that it is supposed to be a rock opera, but only a couple of the songs are any good. Green Day was better before they got political.

4 great songs, but just didn't grab me. Not really a Pearl Jam fan to start with so kinda of a yawner for me

Enjoyed the album, doesn't have a lot of my favorite Byrds songs though. 3.5

rather liked it - just wish it was a bit more upbeat

maybe not as bad as I thought, but definitely not great. I actually thought they were a metal band, so was glad to hear some horns.

just not my favorite U2. think this album is over-rated.

not my thing.

great album. cut your hair, gold soundz, range life...all bangers.

wow - never listened to her and I was blown away. quite a singer songwriter - I get the hype now

while Ready to start is my favorite arcade fire song, I can't give this a 5 if I gave Funeral one. It is a really good album though.

The Who = great songs, mediocre albums

fantastic album. literally every song is amazing. Maggie May is a top 10 song all time for me.

barely average 50s album. I like old fat Elvis, but can see why this was probably a big deal at the time.

not great.

2 good songs - the one with Luda and the one with Pharrell

it's a good album because it is Radiohead, but it will never crack my top 3, or even top 5, albums by them. I preferred both their more guitar and electronica driven albums.

just average. there were two songs where i said, they are ripping off Champagne Supernova and High and Dry. Then I found out this album came out first. Maybe more influential than i realized.

couldn't get into it

great album. could listen to this album over and over again.

boring. autobahn was kinda interesting but yawn

mediocre other than there she goes. that one's a masterpiece

hard to beat the 1-2 of the first two tracks but this album just dragged on and on - too much of the same. couldn't really finish it

excellent early bowie. so many great songs on this album

cool album. lot of samples must have come from here. heard a lot of familiar things.

boring

this was the follow up to Pet Sounds? That was supposed to be the next Sgt Pepper? Not so much

Great album. Always have loved the brothers. The most melodic of the big electronica bands imo.

solid 3 album. some good old outlaw country

late dylan is not great dylan

actually rather liked it

very theatrical. i knew he was theatrical going in, but this could have been confused for West Side Story.

few great songs, rest pretty mediocre

nothing great

decent live album

always a favorite

most over rated album of the last few years, by far

masterpiece. just amazing the blending of paul simon's folk and black ladysmith mambazo. feels like it could have been made yesterday.

couple interesting covers but not really my thing

a couple of the shorter songs were okay but nothing really special and some of it quite bizarre

average 90s rap

alice cooper, besides being a good golfer, also pretty good at music

nothing special

nothing special

never heard of this guy before, don't have to listen again

nope

great album. one of my favorite world artists

could hardly make it through

not much to say. undisputed masterpiece. always have loved she came in through the bathroom window.

average

very interesting album. talks about some deep stuff. was pleasantly surprised at how much i liked it

thought i would like this more, just average imo

i thought i had listened to a lot of queen, but literally had not heard any songs on this album but one. it's okay, not their best. definitely early work.

great album

great live album. the talking pig made me want to learn to play the guitar when i was growing up.

some great songs. even the deeper cuts are great.

seems over rated

not a S&G fan (only solo Paul) but i was surprised how much i liked this. 59th street bridge song is the best.

Not a fan of the boss but i liked this album.

this was my electronica album growing up. setting sun is top 5 all time techno song for me.

pretty good, i hear some of the influences (just not interpol)

surprised how much i like this album. i thought i would hate it, couldn't be further from the truth.

two of my favorite elvis songs on here - suspicious minds and in the ghetto - great album

just average

one of my favorite live albums

heard a lot about them being influential, and i think i can hear it. album was middle of the road for me though.

interesting - didn't hate it, just middle of the road

definitely not her hits - boring

thought i'd like this - not so much. expected where is my mind like songs, didn't get it.

decent 90's alternative

kinda boring - prefer johnny singing country

i understand it's good, but it's not my thing

too much to dream last night a psychedelic classic; rest was pretty mundane

boring

never have gotten why people loved this album. Urban Hymns is the masterpiece, this would have never made me listen to the Verve again.

didn't expect to like it - but i did. ended up listening way past the album being over

one of the better dylan albums so far

one of my favorite albums of all time - one by one close to a perfect song

probably 4.5 - the first three songs are perfect, but then it drops off - or at least that's what i thought going in. the back half actually was better than i remember, and i listened a lot to this album growing up.

nothing special

weird album - they must have been on a lot of drugs making this one

first three songs are great, but the album really falls off after that

wow- terrible. just noise, and not good noise at that

just average

love this type of music

masterpiece - as good or better than OK Computer. No misses on this album.

one of the most over rated bands of all time. a second rate blues band with a poet out front, who often doesn't make any sense.

not good

weird but i kinda found it intriguing. the best thing about the album was the cover though.

not very good - maybe one song on here that holds up

pretty good 90s rap album

very theatrical - i guess not surprising given the name. but as much as i realized queen was like this I didn't realize how much.

not my jam

man i don't get jazz - sure i like some of it but this was a tough, long listen

maybe one good song on the album - understand the are influential, but why?

nothing special - one or two good songs - and not even my favorite Supergrass cuts

fine - sounds like depeche mode - didn't really get me going

not another PJ Harvey album....

enjoyed this album far more than i thought - even more than fever to tell. a sound that i didn't expect from the band, more mellow and easy to listen to

wow- really liked the sound

awful

very boring after a while, way too long

didn't do anything for me

kinda unsurprising because i love the Velvet Underground, but man was this a good album

wow - really liked this more than i thought i would

love self-esteem, an all time fave. the rest of the album is pretty mediocre to me

liked it more than i remembered

has to be the greatest southern rock album of all time

interesting album

hidden gem. loved it and had never heard of the band before

have not liked Santana in the past so was surprised how much i liked this. much more jazz like then i ever expected

hated it. honestly one of the worst albums i've ever listened to. some cool samples, but this was like nails on a chalkboard to me

average - liked it fine but nothing stood out

interesting - never heard of the band but it was okay

good country album

pretty good, but all the songs kinda sound alike

interesting album - some really great house music

3.5 stars. really liked the album a lot.

not good

interesting to listen to once, don't know if i have the heart for it past that

solid PF, but not in the leagues of dark side or the wall

like early dylan more

not even glam rock that i like

wanted to give this a 5 but the end of the album kinda dropped off. too much filler. great songs are great though

couple parts of the album got a little long - but the opening few tracks are just killer

interesting, i expected more rap - wasn't aware of their sound other than the Message

late Beatles > early Beatles

love Ravi - could listen to this for hours

overrated, nothing special

decent southern rock, liked it more than i thought

just not my thing

just average easy listening, nothing special

love TCQ, not my favorite album of there but still pretty great

basic 80s stuff

man - didn't realize how great Neil Young is

much better than i thought - really hits that 80s vibe

not a bad live album in whole, but just TOO MUCH THIN LIZZY

some great songs, some just too long prog rock

biggest surprise so far - loved the sound

love the sound - album just too long for me

interesting take on America, otherwise not much else there

interesting, for some reason i got a lot of Santana out of it, despite being German

forgot how much hip hop sound there is in this album

Billy Bragg is great

like the album a lot - seems influential, hear remnants of this elsewhere

4.5 rounded up to 5 - hard to believe this isn't even in my top Radiohead albums and yet is so good

love this album

great album - some just classic folk rock/early alt-country on this album

interesting. kinda liked it. felt like I was in a martini bar

love Rod, weird songs

so. much. jazz. kinda found the latin influence in it interesting

theme song is the best song

ladies may love cool j, but i don't love this album

terrible

okay - pretty great album

average glam rock

just love this kind of music

couple great songs, that's about it

just average - do love Talking Heads though

weird, not sure why I liked it but I kinda did

meh, it was fine - just nothing great for me

man some of the greatest rap songs of all time, but the rest of the album was just okay for me. keeps it from getting a 5

was fine

surprised it was more bluesy and country than I would have expected

timely

average

Not as good as Folsom Prison

couldn't stand these guys when i saw them live, but dang there are 3 of the greatest songs of the last 25 years on this album

enjoyable

Never heard them before - liked it

like Evil Empire more

didn't want to listen to it, actually kind of liked it

fine easy listening

was fine, background music

much better than northern soul - real britpop classics on here

real smooth jazz/disco - would have it on in the background again

liked it, never really listened to any of his music, but will going forward

started strong, fell off

not a fan

just average

below average Britpop

weird. felt like i was at a circus. that said, his version of Downtown Train is my favorite.

fun - great girl band album

better than the other one

wow. loved it. had heard of the band before but never really listened. great house sound

not my jam

just average

actually not that bad - decent 80s rap, was surprised

overrated

good album

still like earlier Kanye better

prog rock not my thing

thought this was a real good afropop album

impressed by the voice

not an east coast rap guy as much

not bad

liked this album better. probably because it was written by billy corogan

thought this would be harder, kinda like background music

3 great songs, not crazy about the rest

so overrated

blah

not good

not really my thing

pretty good - never heard of the band, love the album name

smooth jazz - thought they were electronica.....

not bad, not great

one of the best albums of the 90s

liked it

one of my favorite albums

wow - best new punk album on this list that I've heard. would listen again

nothing will ever beat their first album

thought it was much better than expected

not my fave - but does have some iconic songs

average rod

love around the world, and a good album, but a bit tedious

only vaguely had heard of the band. loved the album, right up my alley

just couldn't

decent

better than I remember

love Hugh

love the temps, this was average

not bad

enjoyed it

actually thought this was a really good album

Kinda boring, nothing special

actually kinda liked it

good songs really good, and for what it is it's fine, the remixes with Jay Z are pretty great

interesting, thought it was metal by the name of the band, 3.5 stars

great album - a hidden treasure

tumblin' dice is great, but rest of this is just pretty average to me

not my thing, but kinda rocks all the same

ugh

meh

kinda liked it, was surprised

not a good album

one of the best stones albums

average

pretty good album - always liked Doves

just not a nirvana fan

nothing special

didn't hate it

loved this - hidden treasure

surprised how much I liked some of these songs - some edgier than I would have imagined

don't get the hype

don't get the hype

actually liked it more than I expected. not as metal as I was thinking it would be

first disc is amazing - second falls off. but the first disc alone gets it a 5

for what it is i kinda liked it

average Britpop

Wu are great I'm finding

Surprised how much I've liked Joni Mitchell

thought they were a rock band, nope a jazz outfit

lot of hits, but not my jam

4.5 - end of the album kinda dragged a bit for me

good early beach boys

never even heard of the band - liked it a lot

can't take Aerosmith

hits are great - rest pretty good. 4.5

not my jam

can't believe how much i enjoy Joni

little long but good

I like older Pink Floyd, but not as much on this album

other than 2 songs i never would have known i was listening to the who

one of the weirder albums I've heard but didn't hate it

Silent all these years a great song - didn't hate the rest of it that much

like seed 2.0 but rest of it i can leave

overrated

interesting that there are covers on it

4.5

they became big after this?

not nearly as bad as I thought it would be - did like them a bit growing up

Little wild for me - at times thought I was listening to Thom Yorke

one of my favorite albums ever

overrated in some respects, still a 5

enjoyed it more than i thought i would - had me tapping my toes a couple times

favorite Kraftwerk so far

surprisingly good

forgettable

3.5 - once in a lifetime one of the greats

Waterloo Sunset is one of the best

can't stand the band, but wasn't as bad as I thought it would be

surprised how much i like Joni

Not if you were the last junkie has always been a favorite

only one good song - little bit me, little bit you - i do like the Monkees though

too long - 17 tracks is too many

love this stuff

Loved Kanye for first 4 albums....then this....

feel like Donovan is super underrated

yeah, amazing

Great album - love Britpop

worst back to back albums ever??

wow - I expected ambient - 4.5 stars

unlistenable

1.5 - not unlistenable, but almost there

4.5 but with God Only Knows it gets bumped
