Nevermind

Nirvana · 1 likes

5/5

A classic to me, grew up and this and remember where I was when I first heard Smells like teen spirit. This was my childhood, I've listened to it easily 100 times just on my way to high school.

Leftism

Leftfield · 1 likes

5/5

I have never heard this before today and I'm trying to figure out how that's possible... this is something my friends and I would have listen to a million times back in the day. 5/5 This shit is fantastic thanks 1001 albums generator!! Added to my favorites!

All Ratings

The Doors

4/5

A classic album, so many hits on it but I feel like you have to be a specific type of person to enjoy this fully. 4/5

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Never heard this album but there are some songs on here almost everyone knows. Soooo many bangers and a great mix of different styles of music. 4.5/5

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Pretty good, but not really something I would be in a hurry to listen to. I like Neil Youngs music for the most part but would have a hard time listening to it all the time. 3/5

Marquee Moon

Television

2/5

Not really my favorite, I listened to it but it was in the background and it didn't really catch my interest. 2/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

Not really a big fan of this although it was pretty diverse musically. 1.5/5

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

not bad but really not my deal. I really like the tile track though.

1984

Van Halen

3/5

This brings me back to the 80s with the Chicago Cubs commercials on WGN when they would play Jumps. some great songs on here but a lot of this sounds exactly the same. 3/5

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

Besides "Walk this way" which is an absolute classic Tricky is one of my favorite all time songs. Perfect mix of rock and hiphop. This album is a bobber... 4/5

Fragile

Yes

3/5

Liked this one..

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

My daughter loves this group although not sure how she feels about this album. She would probably be devastated to hear that I think this is just okay. There are few songs I liked but most of it was just okay to me. Prolly 3.5/5

Pump

Aerosmith

3/5

Always swore he was speaking Spanish in Going Down... it seems I was wrong.. he's talking about an elevator? Any way a pretty mediocre album some hits but middle of the road mostly. 2.5/5

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

3/5

If you are familiar with Deep Purple this is probably great cause it adds a twist to songs you already know. If you are not it's a lot of jamming and screaming. I am not familiar with most of there work but I can appreciate this.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

4/5

This songs kinda like the hymn my wife and I made out to when we were younger but it can't be cause it sounds like rock and or roll..... 4/5 the title track carries this album but the rest is pretty good.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Prolly 3.5 but I'll Give it a 3 cause there is no in-between...

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Pretty decent. I know some Stones songs but not a whole lot. The album was more bluesy than I was expecting

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

2/5

I can see how some people would like this album and there were some good songs but ultimately I don't think it was for me.

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

3/5

Bangers and other stuff... a pretty decent album

Nevermind

Nirvana

A classic to me, grew up and this and remember where I was when I first heard Smells like teen spirit. This was my childhood, I've listened to it easily 100 times just on my way to high school.

Guero

Beck

4/5

The beats on this are great, never heard this album before cause I never really cared for Beck but this was pretty decent. 4/5

Soul Mining

The The

This is pretty decent but I would have probably hated it when I was younger. Would have been too quirky for me. 2.5/5

Leftism

Leftfield

5/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Never heard this album before but I can hear the influence in stuff that I am more familiar with like Mary J and Adele.... really good shit. Sooooo Much soul in this. 4/5

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

1/5

2 songs in and I'm pretty sure if you played this anywhere in the world people would walk out or destroy your audio equipment.. 3 songs in and its not any better.... 4 songs in and I went straight to song 5... 5 songs in and I'm about to destroy my own audio equipment.... okay at this point this is a joke right..... next song and I mean I'd rather listen to Spice Girls album.. 0/5 and didn't even finishing it.... wish I could go lower than 1

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

I'm digging it but while I'm familiar with a couple of songs don't know how often I would listen to it. 2.5/5

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

Really like this style of music, for me though it's a once and I while type of album. 3/5

Sounds the same as everything my wife's mom listens to... probably not the right person to be rating this as I hear a lot of very similar music and its not really for me.

2/5

didn't really care for this

Doolittle

Pixies

2/5

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

3/5

I'm digging this, probably a 3.5/5 for me.

Bad

Michael Jackson

5/5

For sure the best album of the 80s... probably the best if not one of the best albums of all time. Despite what he might have done in his personal life it is a 10/5

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

Really liked this even thought I didn't understand almost anything. Never heard of Brazilian funk but I was digging it.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

I know some songs from them but none on this album. It was okay.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

4/5

Pretty good for a style of music that I'm not really into. Of course I knew a couple of songs from the album but I also liked the songs I didn't know.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

5/5

Feel like I just spent the last 33 minutes in a supper club like Wildfire or something. Great album really digging how chill and relaxing it is.

Orbital 2

Orbital

3/5

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

Love Massive Attack and this album is great.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

I was pleasantly surprised by this, not really into country music and I thought this chick was a pop star but this was pretty good.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

2/5

At first I thought this was okay... as the album went on and I got to the 20th or so song I lost interest. To many blah songs that all sound the same.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

great album

Elliott Smith

2/5

some good songs and some annoying songs

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

2/5

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

4/5

Not quite a 4 for me but a little better than a 3 so a 4 it is.

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Anything with Nile Rodgers is instantly a 3 or higher in my book. Saw him in concert years ago and was a blown away with how many hits he wrote or was involved with.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

2/5

The beats on this are great but I never really cared for Missy's style. So over all the album started pretty good but as it went on it got kind of boring.

Moby Grape

2/5

Pretty mid as far as I'm concerned, about a 2.5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

I mean this and the AiC unplugged are two of my all time favorites.... listened to this a million times and never skip a song. Easy 5

The Thrills

3/5

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

nat really my deal, its like Debbie Gibson met MC Lyte and they made an album

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

This brings back a lot of memories for me, not the album itself but most of the music. My mom would listen to Christmas music during the season and most of these song were the versions I would hear. Prolly a 3.5 just for nostalgia so I'lll give it a 3

Music for the Masses

Couple decent song for me but most were meh or even just strange.

Decent enough but damn those are some I-Ron Butterly length songs.

Iron Maiden

2/5

Probably closer to a 2.5 to me but I'll round down

Spiderland

Slint

3/5

I'm going to guess this isn't very highly rated but I really liked it. I could understand why it wouldn't be rated high but I ws digging it especially Washer.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

3/5

Never been a big Alice Cooper fan so it was better than I thought it was going to be.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

Love this album, could listen to every song on it.

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

3/5

Not bad I suppose.

Fleet Foxes

2/5

Felt like it started off good but really lost interest after a song or two.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Some good songs and some I'm thinking holy shit we're still on the same song....

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

2/5

Didn't really care to much for this although some of the arrangements were decent.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

Don't care for Courtney Love but this album is pretty good. Prolly a 3.5

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Based on nostalgia this is a 5x2 my buddy Glen used to rock this in his PoS car all the time and knew every lyric. RIP bud.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

2/5

eh, it was okay.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

Dis is Gud... but not computer gud

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

3/5

I have to be in a certain mode to listen to this I think. Its not bad but I wasn't really feeling it today.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

A little before my time but I can see their influence in bands I group up on.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

2/5

I think I would have loved this if I was born a few years earlier.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

2/5

not bad but not really my thing.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

2/5

I was about to give this a 1 but some of the beats were good but lyrics were way to repetitive for me.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

I grew up listening to this in high school in the 90s, this will always be a 5 to me. I feel like Jimi changed the way people play the guitar and can hear his influence in a lot of my favorite music after this.

Me Against The World

2Pac

3/5

I was never really a big 2Pac fan but this was pretty good.

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

1/5

I couldn't even finish it, I've never cared for KoL and the guys voice was grating. The music wasn't bad so probably not really a 1 but man his voice and how it sounds like he is mumbling just knocks it down for me.

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

Probably more like 3.5 for me, I knew a couple of songs off of this but never heard the majority pretty good album.

Virgin Suicides

Air

4/5

Never heard this before but really liked it.

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

3/5

Pretty decent, not something I could listen to all the time but something I would jam to if it came on.
