It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

Popular Reviews

Really weird and punk. Gave it a few rotations and loved it

Kanye West is complicated artist and person. He's created some of the most influential, inspiring and divisive music in the 00's. That being said this is an amazing album. You absolutely have to separate the artist from the art.

Very slow and very sad

Great album

Solid album, listen to it several times over

1-Star Albums (5)

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

All Ratings (1089)

Classic white stripes

80's classic synth

Solid, hadn't heard the whole album before. 90's rock

One of his best albums

It was ok. I'm sure for it's time it was innovative but by today's standards, very mundane. I'm also not a massive Madonna fan

Absolutely flawless album, also probably the first time I've listened to it in it's entirety

Meh, didn't love it

Started, but never finished. Lost interest about halfway through, so that shows how much I liked it

Great album. Heard the name before, but never gave them a good listen. Glad I did

Good

Great album

Not bad, not amazing

Good album

Really good, never listened to more of the Beach Boys besides the hits

Enjoyable, very early disco vibes

I'm sure for it's time it was really good. Definitely a solid album

Really weird and punk. Gave it a few rotations and loved it

Solid album, listen to it several times over

Loved it!

Just not my cup of tea

Answers the question, what if The Byrd's made a punk album. Little too long, so I just listened to the original 10 songs.

Interesting album, the lyrics seem to be all over the place, sometimes on the nose and sometimes way out there metaphorically. I liked the production and music. Could hear a lot of synth influence from the 70's and 80's Overall enjoyed

Very different from what I typically listen to. Not something I would choose, but worth checking out.

How appropriate

It's a great live album. Sounds amazing and the production quality is fantastic, but the actual music is very mid and not very interesting.

It's just not for me

Standard Prog Rock fare, nothing too mind blowing. Reminds me of a gateway to jam bands

Great DnB album. Flows nicely and has some fantastic tracks. A classic if you're into the genre

Not too bad for a folk duo from the 70's. Not my typical jam, but enjoyable.

Meh

Beautiful and haunting. Its both simplistic and full of depth. He vocals are just amazing. RIP

Meh, its good but not my style

Never been much of a Neil Young fan, but this one was a bit of a surprise. It's still Neil Young, but less folk-sy and more adventurous

I can see why people would enjoy this, but it's just not for me. Well written lyrics and beautiful guitars.

I....um...I....oh god it just keeps going, why? What did I do to deserve this. Am I supposed to hate it? Is is supposed to be some sort of test to see if I'll listen to the whole thing? It's clearly more abstract and important then Kid Rock, but I'm still going to have to hard pass on this.

Not bad for Elvis Costello, better than a lot of the other albums

classic country with a little twist. Nothing too crazy, but enjoyable

not bad, slower and kinda haunting

Not a huge fan of Neil Young, i think its his general demeanor and ego. The album is not bad, it has its enjoyable moments. Overall positive, but I don't need to listen again

slow ZZzzz

Beautiful voice, great music, not my jam

Very slow and very sad

Beautiful voice and meaningful lyrics, just not my preferred style of music

Kind of meh. didn't really do anything for me. Good background music

Very Neil Young, but I don't really enjoy Neil Young. Slow, folky, meh

Very strange album. There are some highs, but more lows overall. You can see the beginnings of concepts, but it felt like then were never full actualized. I'd almost give it a 2, but Sister Ray saved it and I'll settle with a 3

meh

Pop-like 80's underground. Not bad, but nothing amazing.

Got bored of the same old, slow, americana vibe after about 7 or 8 songs and then realized I had another 8 songs to go....ugh this one has been sitting on my list and I'd been dreading it.

A little too folk-sy americana for me. The couple of blues songs were a nice change of pace. No really my jam overall

Better then I thought it would be. Slow and folk-sy, but not terrible. Lots of Dylan covers....

Lyrically very smart. Beautiful songs. Very solid for what it is.

Beautifully written and well composed songs. Lyrically the whole album speaks truth to some of the experiences of the time. Sad this is not easily available on streaming, but well worth the trip to YouTube. Would absolutely love to own a physical copy of this album.

Beautiful for what it is. I would have never listened to it without this project, but just not for me.

I just don't like Neil Young. His music doesn't speak to me and I find it really boring. I've heard so much of his music and I've tried, but it's a no for me Dawg.

After listening to a few of his albums now, I've come to the conclusion that I really like Peter Gabriel. His music is more then I expected and has such a unique point of view. Quite enjoyable, will listen to more

I've never been a fan and I was kind of dreading this one, but it surprised me. I actually slightly enjoyed it. Not going to enter my daily rotation, but I didn't hate it.

Had to watch this album on YouTube as it is no longer streaming.... I'm not really finding anything about this album groundbreaking or mind blowing. Sounds like another pop-rock British band. Just not for me.

Surprisingly better than I thought it would have been

Bland, mediocre, just kinda simple

A couple of the covers were cool, but overall, it wasn't for me

Boring overproduced pop bleh. Struggled to get through this one and come up with something to appreciate about it.

Meh. Had it on in the background and nothing stood out as something I'd ever choose to listen to again. Not my style at all.

I don't get the hype. Thought it was ok

Thoughtful and raw. I forgot how much I love Fiona Apple

Struggled to get through it, but I enjoyed it overall

Solid Stones

This album is a lot. I get that it's deep and has meaning and was the pinochle of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys. But man, there's so much going on. This one demands you listen to it 3 or 4 times to really catch everything. Even then you still will miss a lot. I'd initially give it a 2/3, but I'm sure it will grow to a 3/4.

nope, absolutely refuse.

Great background music, the album ended and something else started without me even realizing.

Really good, need to listen to more Merle

I've always known people to absolutely love Nick Cave and I've never found anything of his that really drew me in. This is the one. Although its pretty much two separate albums that are almost opposite of each other, they were both awesome. I was dreading listening to this one, but my mind had been changed and I will have to add this into a heavier rotation.

Better than I thought it would be

Had to find this album on YouTube as it's unavailable on Spotify, but it was really good. Although it sounds similar to a lot of other things out there, they were the first to do it

although it's a short album, it was still too long for me. Just not a fan of the sound or the style.

Interesting. Felt a little jam band but never got repetitive. Will have to check out more of their catalog

Was a little disappointed with the Velvet Underground, but this one is really good. You can hear the Bowie influence and Lou really figured out a better vision for his music.

Not bad, a little long, but it is a double album. I'd say very middle of the road

Very mid and forgettable

Meh, nothing too amazing. Guy seems super talented and the lyrics seem smart, but not my jam

Interesting and very different from what I typically listen to. I really enjoy Rufus' voice. He reminds me of Tom York and/or Matt Bellamy from Muse. The lyrics are engaging and the soundscapes created are beautiful. I'd say it was way better then I expected.

Like the style and the punk vibe. Short album that I could easily listen to again and again.

Too many Neil Young albums on this list. I get it the guy was talented and made music, I'm assuming, people liked. Just like a few other artists on this list Neil Young is a little too represented. This album is fine and I'll say that Crazy Horse adds more to it then just Neil's solo work, but ugh this is the 7th album.... not including the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Whatever its fine, not the best, but not the worst.

Fun little Jazz album. Enjoyable and quick.

Not the typical folk album. A little different with some elements of world music. Kinda like when your friend goes abroad and picks up the culture and makes it their entire personality. Anyway it was alright

Different and trying to put it in context for the time. Would go back and revisit as I enjoy this style.

I'm on the fence with this one. I get it, its a cool set-up, at least in the appearance of a "live jazz club". But Tom kind of drones on and one sometimes and I loose the focus of what is actually going on. I also struggle to hear him sometimes. It's like a lot of mumbling and grumbling. The album is different for sure and I can see it as something to check out at least once, but I struggle to think of actually wanting to listen to this ever again.

Lyrically brilliant, beautifully produced. Not exactly what I enjoy, but it's really good

Surprised how much I enjoyed this one. Will have to add it to a regular rotation

Oh Courtney Love, why you so crazy. Hole was always talented, but it felt like she was the dark cloud that overshadowed every aspect. Great album, great guitars, her vocals are powerful and raw.

It was a struggle to try and get through this one. Not sure if I wasn't in the mood or it just wasn't for me

Although a big fan of the band, this one was their mainstream crossover success album and I always thought it was lack luster. Their earlier albums were raw and gritty and this one seemed so polished and produced.

Enjoyable album. Great songs and overall great vibe.

The beats and rhythm were very reminiscent of the early 90s hip hop. I have no clue what was said as I don't speak French, but it was enjoyable

When I first saw a Grateful Dead album I was definitely disappointed. I've tried listening to them many times over the years, often with little success. As a fan of psychedelic music, stoner rock and the genres surrounding those sounds, you'd think I'd love these guys, but I just don't get it. I've read books about the times they came up in, dove deep into the culture and even "opened" my mind to the "experience". I still just can't with the jam bands. As far as Dead albums go, I didn't hate this one. It dragged on for too long and meandered way off course too many times, but this is all par for the course of the Dead. Maybe I'm just tired, maybe the world is just crashing down a little too hard, maybe I just need another cup of coffee. Anyway, this one was ok. 2.25/5, but I'm rounding down.

Different..... Not the typical UK punk sound, but absolutely the attitude. The organ was a nice touch and very unexpected. It's almost like the crossroad of classic rock, punk and new wave.

Interesting take on a psychedelic album. Lots of odd short "songs" and then a few longer drawn out tracks. I enjoyed it and would even go back and listen again.

Classic Floyd. Loved this album years ago and still enjoy it today.

Yeah, I can dig this. Great Jazz album

Very out there for the times, but sounds very typical 80's. It kind of bridges the gap between psychedelic rock/dark wave/funk/post-punk. These guys were clearly doing a lot of drugs.

Where some albums feel very timeless, this one feels very firmly set in the early 90's. It's hyper produced and polished, so it doesn't give that warmth that you get from raw talent. This is still a great album and clearly stands the test of time, it just feels firmly planted in a specific time and place.

Fun album, very 80's rock. Did you know the drummer only has one arm?

Seems like a well polished and produced album. Is Bruce talented, yes. Does it appeal to me, no not really. Enjoyed it, but prob don't need to listen to the whole thing ever again

Great Doors Album. I can listen to this one over and over

Historically, kinda cool. Would I choose to listen to it again, probably not.

Great background music, but that's about it.

Great Glam Rock album. Seemed influenced by Bowie and his stylings. Enjoyable and would listen again.

Well this one was a gem for sure. I've heard of the Meat Puppets, but never really listened to them. I was pleasantly surprised! I hadn't realized that Nirvana covered a few of these tracks. I also just genuinely liked the whole thing. Each track was something new and I never got bored. It's albums like this that make this project worth while.

Enjoyable album. I was not expecting to like it as much as I did.

Meh, felt like the album never went anywhere. Simple and pleasant, but not really seeing the importance. Could have been like 20 minutes shorter.

I did not enjoy this.

Great album start to finish. There's definitely a time and place aspect to this album. They were so ahead of their time and so many groups copied what they did afterwards. Enjoyable and re-playable.

It's sticky sweet indie pop. Like I need to check my blood sugar sweet. I'm getting a lot of Ben Folds and Flaming Lips, but without any edge. Honestly I'm not enjoying it. It's not anything exciting or anything that hasn't been done before. There are so many better versions of this band out there.

Not bad, apart from the controversy of exactly how much is actually live and how much was overdubbed. Great classic rock with everything you'd expect from that time. Nothing too crazy or mind blowing. Pretty mid overall.

Great album. So many hits. It's pretty much a classic at this point.

It was good. Billie has a beautiful voice and her accompaniment was great too. Just not my thing, but to each their own.

You know its bad when you get the album generated and you're already dreading it. I'm one song in and wishing it was over..... I'm trying to see this through the lens of a post 9/11 America, but sitting here in 2025 it's giving a lot of ick. I don't want to hear about how great the US is because at this point its not. It's very slow and very depressing. Lots of songs about loss and grieving. Maybe if I was looking for something like this I'd enjoy it, but man this album is a downer.

Interesting lyrics, but overall a sad/beautiful album. The lead singers voice is different, but it kind of works. Has an alt-country sounding twang, but feels very stripped down.

Seems like a typical pop album on the surface. There's a lot of R&B/Soul/Funk influence. It's very well produced and that's probably the highlight. Without The Neptunes and Timberland it definitely would not be as successful. Not bad, but nothing amazing.

Not bad. Nothing caught my attention the first go around, but I'd give it another listen easily.

It's weird, it's kooky, it's Kate Bush! Wasn't sure what to expect, and for some reason it all makes sense. I enjoyed it and would listen to it again.

Love Fatboy Slim and this is a great album. Nothing mind blowing or breakthrough, but as a first album it works.

Not bad. Country rock, could hear a little Zydeco in there too. I can hear how this influenced a lot of people coming up behind him.

Solid JayZ album. Haven't listened to this one in forever.

Never heard of them before. Pop rock meets early punk. Enjoyable and would listen more

Great album. Very enjoyable and would listen over and over.

Solid 80's synth-pop. Very bright and fun. Feels like there is some Bowie or Freddy Mercury vibes/energy mixed in. Enjoyed it overall.

Not really something I'd listen to on my own. Not quite my vibe. That being said Adele has amazing talent and a beautiful voice. She is a great artist, just not my go to as far as what I like.

I'd say this album has almost become bigger than the sum.of all it's parts. The cultural impact of this album, Nirvana and Kurt are all encompassing of the early 90s. Were they the first to play this sound, absolutely not, but if you were to ask people who the biggest impact of rock in the early 90s was you would absolutely have Nirvana in the conversation. Great album and I could listen to it over and over.

Listened to the whole album without anything really grabbing me. Not that it was bad or unoriginal, but nothing stuck out as something I'd want to listen to again. Might have to listen again but maybe not. On the fence with this one as on paper it seems like something I'd enjoy.

Fantastic Album. From the sharp lyrics to the crazy samples everything about this album shines beautifully.

80's new-wave pop. I don't see how this was any different from the hundreds of other albums just like it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything amazing either.

Good album. I've heard of a few singles from Orbital, but never a full album. Great production and sound. Nothing jumped out as amazing, but it was enjoyable.

Solid album, had some really good songs. I feel like this is my 3rd or 4th Nick Cave album and I've really started to appreciate his work. Probably would have never happened if it wasn't for this project.

It's a good Rolling Stones album. A few great songs and a few meh. Nothing to be upset by, but nothing stands out as Holy Shit this is amazing.

Great background album. Listened to a bunch of their stuff over the years and kinda cool to see where they started out. Would throw this on again if I was in the mood.

It's not bad, per se, but its not that interesting. I'm getting generic reggae vibes and struggling through over an hour worth of it. It could have been edited down like 15/20 minutes and would have been more concise. I'll give them credit on the lyrical content, but that's the only thing really pushing this to a 3 out of 5.

Great album, seemed to go by almost too fast. Would love to give this one another listen or two

Cool vibes, good songs, enjoyable album.

Lyrically, this album is amazing. Ice has plenty to say and won't let anyone stop him. His takes on life in the US in the early 90's rang true then and still ring true today. Musically there is a little lacking, but the lyrics make up for it. Great album, probably his best.

I don't think I'm the target demographic for this album. It's trying too hard to be something it's not. There's a couple of standout songs, but overall it's that dorky kid that hangs out with everyone, but no one really likes him, but he's not so obnoxious that everyone wants him to go away, so he's just there. It's bland music for white people who think black pepper is too spicy.

It's fine, not really my kind of music, but I can appreciate that it's well done. Too folksy for me and it dragged on after about 45 minutes or so.

This is my 3rd Kate Bush album and I really enjoyed it. I've never listened to any of her work before this project and I'm so happy to have finally found this fun weird person. Each album has been better than the last.

Loved!! Great OG drum and bass

Enjoyable background music. There's some history there and they influenced a lot of people that came after them.

Solid Arcade Fire Album. It's good, but not their best.

Great album, fantastic production. This is classic late 90's hip-hop perfection.

I really like this one and will have to add it to a more regular rotation. The lyrics, the production and the overall positivity from this albums is just amazing. I wish this was available to stream, so I could listen more often.

Solid album, would give it another go easily

Meh. I'm not really a fan. Songs were ok, it played in the background but nothing really caught my attention.

A surprisingly enjoyable album. I feel like Velvet Underground has been filled with a lot of highs and an equal amount of lows. This one fits right there in the middle. I liked it and would probably listen to it again.

Thought it would be more brit pop, but was actually way better. Surprised me for sure.

Quick little Americana album. Lots of country twang to it without being too country. Love the duets with Emmylou. Very enjoyable album

Not bad. Not my thing, but it was fine

Great album, very chill with haunting vibes. Very Portishead. They just seem very comfortable with themselves and it feel inviting and safe.

Great album! Love Alanis's lyrics and energy. Have listened to it many times and will listen to it many times again.

Not bad. Great voice and interesting lyrics. A little to much pop for my liking.

Good, but nothing stood out as beyond amazing. 3.5/5

Interesting. Never heard of the artist before, but found it enjoyable. Would listen again

Great album. Love Duran Duran. Enjoyable and would absolutely listen again and again.

It's like the Beatles lite. its not terrible, but it's not the best.

Great memories of this album growing up. Still holds up today. Great energy and a lot of fun

My thoughts while listening to this album: Maybe this will be one of those good Brit-Pop albums? Ugh, halfway through the first song and I'm already over it....... It's like Oasis, but not as good, and I don't like Oasis These lyrics are terrible 5 tracks in and I'm really loosing steam. Did not enjoy, will not recommend

Great early hip-hop. From the samples to the lyrics it all works!

Hell yeah! one of my favorite OutKast albums. Really solid album, but might have done a little better with less interludes in retrospect. Still there are so many good songs and the overall vibe is amazing. Andre and Big Boi really shine on this one.

This album is kind of all over the place. There's some really solid songs that work and then there are a few songs that seem out of place. When they hit the sound is awesome, but a few times they lost me.

Really enjoyed this one. Classic/Origins of psychedelic music out of NorCal in the late 60's. All the songs worked and didn't feel over the top or out of place.

I really enjoyed this one. It showcased a newer sound leading up to the cultural shift of the 90s. They were doing it before everyone else. Not a perfect album, but one that I could see coming back to and visiting over again.

Started out strong, but kinda lost steam. Enjoyable but not amazing

Better than I thought it would be

Very Mid. Nothing amazing, but I don't hate it. It's very middle of the road.

Man, I'm blown away by how much I enjoyed this album. I'm not a huge fan of the genre (Americana/Singer Songwriter/Country-ish) but the lyrics and the simplicity of it all really resonate. The songs all feel very personal and the stories told still hold true in 2025. Well done and I'll have to come back to this one for sure.

Struggle bus

Wasn't sure what to expect with this one, but I really enjoyed it. It has a simplicity to it that I find really amazing. Everything is tight and to the point, nothing is in excess. Will definitely be adding this album into a regular rotation.

Well, this is a thing that happened. She really did that. Is she trying to be like Bjork? I made it like 25 minutes and I think I'm good. Thanks but no thanks.

Just going to start with the fact that I'm not a fan. I get that there are millions and millions of fans, so me not liking Taylor is just a drop in the bucket. It's just not for me. I'm not the target audience and I'm ok with that. I'm glad she's out there doing her thing and people enjoy it. Good for them and good for her. I'm going to skim through this and move on with my life. I'm not wasting an hour of my life to come to the inevitable conclusion that I'm just not that into it.

Dark Synth Wave

Really enjoyed, will add to a more frequent rotation

I tried, but this just wasn't for me. Like all art, it's subjective. I can appreciate something and not like it all at the same time.

Really liked, need to check out more

Dig it. Lots of fun and enjoyable

Really surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. Great soulful sound, upbeat vibes and she's got an amazing voice.

Like a weird mix of Thom York singing for the Beatles. I didn't think I'd enjoy it and I was pretty correct. It was fine, just not something I'd choose to listen to.

Great 90's rave energy. Enjoyable and will have to check out more of their catalog.

Way more accessible then some of his previous albums. Rather enjoyed and might have to add this to

Meh, didn't really do it for me. Not terrible, but not my vibe

Technically it's a great album. The production, the lyrics, the talent. It feels a little long, but not terrible. I can handle a little Sufjan at a time, but a whole album was more then I prefer. Still it's a really good album. 3.5/5

It's fine. Not my jam, but there's some solid music there.

Amazing album, start to finish. Been a fan of the album for years and loved the re-visit. I can really appreciate the whole flow of the album.

Different for sure. Didn't hate it, but didn't really enjoy.

There were a few songs that I liked. The rest were kinda meh. Glad the album was short.

It's the Beatles, blah blah blah. Of all their albums this one is a little more interesting. They were always way more interesting when they were doing drugs. Anyway it's fun and lighthearted and whatever.

Loved it!

Absolute amazing album. From the lyrics to the production to the stories that he tells. Yeah there's a few ridiculous interludes, but the rest of the album stands so strong

Ugh two Beatles albums in a week.... It's a bunch of covers and a few pop hits. This is supposed to be influential and I should listen to this drivel? Get the fuck out of here. The Beatles were so overrated and this is a prime example of everyone fawning over something that isn't that deep. Boo this album. The Beatles only got mildly interesting when they started doing drugs and hating each other.

Not a bad album, but very chill. There are some solid covers in here and the overall vibe works. Not sure if I'd listen to it again, but I'm glad I did.

Not bad, but definitely not my kind of jam. Very adult contemporary, which was kind of unexpected.

This one is a lot of fun. You can hear a little classic 70's rock influence as well as how they pushed the boundaries into hair and glam rock of the 80's. High energy and surprisingly enjoyable!

One of my favorite Grizzly Bear albums. I have great memories of loosing myself in the beautiful soundscapes and harmonies. Great lyrics with a slightly somber tone. Great album and on heavy rotation.

Not really my thing at all. Her voice sounded great and it was fine for background music. Besides that I'll probably not come back for more.

Not really my favorite Bowie album. Seemed very low energy and slow.

Not terrible, but not amazing. There's definitely some substance to it, but a little bit of fluff along with it.

Great trip-hop. Chill beats.

It's fine. Maybe one of the better U2 albums, but not by much. All I can think about is the one time U2 teamed with Apple and tried to force their album down everyone's throat. I'm still bitter about it.

I remember listening to this a lot when it came out. Always enjoyed it, but on a revisit maybe it was a little slower than I remembered. Not bad, great background.

Liked it and I'd give it another go

Great album, quick listen, no skips.

Master class in modern hip-hop. No skips and just about perfect album.

Had to really look for this one, but well worth the search. Really fun to see how early house music like this came to influence modern music. Found a few gems that were later sampled by some artists I enjoy. A little klunky in places and does seem a little long, but overall I really enjoyed this one.

I skimmed through this one. Sorry, not sorry. I get the overall vibe, but I don't think I have the patience to sit through all hour and 20 minutes of this album. The man seems massively popular and good for him. There seemed like a couple of fun tracks in there as well as a random cover of Imagine, which is a little ick, IMO. Not bad, but outside my frame of reference. 2.5/5

Cool vibes, nothing too out there. Very middle of the road

Yeah, I get it's cultural significance and it's not bad for what it is. It's not for me and that's fine.

Fantastic album, even after all these years. Such a great introduction to Arcade Fire

Talented singer and amazing lyricist

90's grunge goodness. Nothing too out of the box or boundary pushing, but not terrible.

It was fine, a couple of hits in there. overall good, but nothing too standout.

Dude has a solid voice and the music is fine. Not really what I'm into, but I can see people enjoying it.

Surprisingly enjoyable. Not super different from most late 60's psychedelic music, but I liked it none the less

It's like Reggae light. I'm not sure what this guy was going for but, whatever it is, it's not for me.

Enjoyable and honestly really good. I never thought much about Lorde beyond her radio hits, but clearly I was missing something.

Love the album, love the vibe, love the overly sweet synth pop. Maybe it's because this came out in the height of my love for the genre, maybe it's because I saw them live, maybe it because I'm just in a good mood. Anyways I think I love this album. Maybe I should marry it?

Meh.... It's not bad, but nothing really grabbed my attention.

Not bad, for a Beatles album

Really enjoyable, modern bossa nova

Different from other Kinks stuff I've listened to before. Kind of dragged on by the end

Meh, They had a couple of hits and those are fun for what they are, but overall I feel like this album is really lacking in overall substance. It feels very overproduced and just didn't age that well. Also what's up with the up and down nature of this album? Lots of female empowerment, which is great but then quickly followed by slut shaming and thirsting over some dude. So weird....

Great background music, but it drags on a little by the end.

Really good Bowie Album. It's short and to the point. Very enjoyable!

I didn't enjoy this one as much as their other albums. It's not bad, but its very slow and almost kind of a downer. Not really my regular or go to style of music, but it has its merits.

Great album. I forget how talented George Michael was.

Tragic and beautiful. The two best words to describe both this album and Amy herself. It's been a while since I've listened to this album and it did not disappoint. Clocking in at just 35 minutes it felt very quick, but very to the point. For me there are no skips. It's well produced, well packaged and damn if it isn't just really good.

This one is fine. Honestly the first side would be great, but then there's the infamous 17 min In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Ok we get it, its a thing and probably without it these guys wouldn't really have made the mark on music like they did. Honestly, I've heard it before, but I have no need to ever listen to it in its entirety again. It's bordering on that jam band noodling that just goes on for way longer then it needs to. If you've never listened, check it out, but once you've hear it, it's just ok.

Very Mid. Not exactly sure why this is included on the list honestly. It's nothing too amazing or boundary pushing. It's their 9th album and pre-disco so it's not like they were coming up with anything new. It's very slow, drawn out and all of the songs feel the same. Not my jam and not really finding anything redeeming about it.

ABBA is the quintessential pop album. It's got hits, it's got deep cuts, it's got bangers and it's got slow jams. I'm I into ABBA? Not really, can I jam out to a few songs, absolutely.

It's not for me and I'm ok with that. Honestly I put it on and it was fine background music for work. I don't know what I'm listening for or if it was amazing or even if it's really the right album (There's two of them out there). I didn't hate it, but I was ready for it to end about 2/3rd of the way through.

Fine, nothing really grabbed my attention. Very early psychedelic and you can hear how it shaped what we now see as that style. I feel like I'd have to go back and really give this one a solid listen to appreciate it.

Funky, soulful, and just damn good! Really enjoyable and I can see myself playing this one over and over again.

Damn! I'm not a country music fan in the slightest, but this is just really good stuff. It's slower and pretty sad, but the lyrics and overall theme just work. George's voice is damn near perfect and the production quality is off the charts. I'm impressed!

Absolute perfection, no notes

Well kids, this is the last one for me and of course it's one that I'm not super pumped about. I'm sure it holds a special place in history and Ramblin' Jack was an inspiration to many musicians, but man.... this is not my kind of music at all. Well, I made it through. Had to find the album on YouTube. Like I thought, it was fine. It's very simple as it's just him and his guitar. Lyrics hold up and there's clearly a lot going on. I can see why it's on the list, but still just not for me. It's been fun y'all! See ya on the user submitted side!

This is one of those albums I'd have to listen to a few times over to fully grasp what the fuck is actually going on. Do I like it? Do I hate it? It's making me feel things, that's for sure. It walks that line of stupid and artsy. It's clearly divisive from what I read of the other reviews. It's absolutely weird and out there. Sometimes it feels like a hat on a hat, you know, like its trying too much. Sometimes it feels like there's a wink and a nudge. I'm clearly enjoying whatever the hell it is, so points to you!

A couple of hits and quite a but of rambling. The guitar work is absolutely the selling point here. There's definitely a few things that didn't age well as far as lyrics goes, but it was a different time and you do need to look at the context of it all. Still very cringe when you hear it at first. Not terrible, but also kind of drags on by the end.

It was fine. Pretty standard late 80's/early 90's alternative. Between The Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. and a few others, they were indie rock before it was indie rock. Nothing stands out as amazing, but I don't hate it.

Surprised myself by how much I enjoyed this one. Love the blues and this is such a cool version of it.

I really liked this one. When it ended I actually started it all over again. It was fun and quick. I hear so many different influences from bands that came before them as well as how they influenced bands after them.

Solid Album. Sonic Youth never really grabbed me. They're not bad and on paper they're a band I'd be all in on. Just something about them never clicked for me. Still, solid music, love the noisy quality and I'm not mad about it.
