Popular Reviews

1989

Taylor Swift

1/5

I hate Taylor Swift. This did not change that. In fact, all it did was make me hate myself more for listening to it.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

1/5

Tori Amos is like Sarah McLachlan with an okay voice, instead of a great voice.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

While I hadn't listened to this whole album before, I knew the singles off of it. It was okay, but the singles were the high point.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

I wouldn't call myself a fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, but I know a couple of their albums alright. Nothing here stood out compared to their other stuff.

Black Sabbath

3/5

Not bad. Can see how it was revolutionary for its time.

1989

Taylor Swift

1/5

I hate Taylor Swift. This did not change that. In fact, all it did was make me hate myself more for listening to it.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

It's no Dark Side, but it's still pretty good.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

3/5

Kanye before his out of control ego, and all his BS. Somehow, this is Kanye at his most humble. It's a solid album, but somehow not his best work.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

2/5

I never really got the appeal of Alice Cooper. Just doesn't make sense to me.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

I was ten when Kurt Cobain died, and I didn't see what all the hubbub was about. Why were people crying about the death of someone they didn't even know. All these years later, I have more of an understanding of why his music was so loved. They'll never be my favourite band, but I can at least appreciate them for completely changing the face of rock radio away from the garbage that gained popularity in the 80's. Also, props to them for not playing Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Pretenders

3/5

I hadn't really heard much of their stuff beyond the well known singles. Not bad.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

2/5

I think I like his older stuff better. This album was a bit too spoken word for me.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

Can't say I'd ever listened to Buddy Holly before. He sounded a lot more rock and roll than I expected. Then again, that's probably because I expected him to sound more like Weezer... so I blame Rivers Cuomo.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

1/5

Tori Amos is like Sarah McLachlan with an okay voice, instead of a great voice.

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

4/5

Never heard of them before. Really solid album.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

1/5

I didn't care for this. Not my taste in music at all.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Pretty good album. I've always thought ELO doesn't get enough recognition, but this was the first time I've listened to a full album

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

It was not bad.

Debut

Björk

4/5

I've listened to this album many times already. It's still her third best album though.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

2/5

Not really my type of music. Boy did that just go on and on though.

Eagles

3/5

Knew some of the songs. Bunch of classics. The rest though, meh.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

4/5

Really enjoyed this album. I hadn't heard of them before, so that's always fun.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

Generally, I know him as the old dude that likes weed. Now I know him a bit better as a musician. This was an okay album.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

1/5

Not my thing.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

It was okay.

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

1/5

This was very much a product of it's time. A lot of albums on this list sound timeless, but this sounds like someone in 1993 making an album of what it's like to make an album in 1993. It might have been revolutionary or mind blowing at the time, but now it sounds VERY dated.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

It was okay, I guess. A bit more normal than I'm used to from LCD Soundsystem.

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

3/5

To me, it seems like where Radiohead would've ended up had they not embraced their experimental side.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

2/5

It was a simpler time, I suppose.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

2/5

Some classics on here, ruined by sounding very very 80s.

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

3/5

Good album made by a bad human being.

The Undertones

4/5

A band I had never heard of with a really solid album. If you had told me it came out 3 years ago, I'd have believed you. Definitely didn't sound like it came out in 1979.

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

I know this album incredibly well already. It's a Radiohead classic that took them from being a good rock band, to being an incredible band.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

1/5

Really, truly, very much not for me.

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

Laura Nyro

1/5

Not my thing.
