A Seat at the Table
SolangeLyrically was ok, musically it ended and spotify moved on to 4 different artist and I didn't even notice!

nah, not for me
pile of crap
Radio friendly, low end pop. Don’t see how something as beige as this makes it on to a list that needs to be heard before I die
Better than expected, enjoyed The end and come together is a great track too.
a lot of chaff, come on eileen, more chaff no thanks
Some big hits on here, some of the filler songs did nothing though
Very different from everything else, could have done with being a wee bit shorter
really liked hanging garden, rest went by largely unnoticed
hated it
A lot more relaxed than I'd expected from a Springsteen album. Was a decent enough listen although I wouldn't go back and play again
upbeat, Rod Stewart can really belt it out, decent album
great way to wind down at the end of the day, so easy to listen to
why won't it end?? and then holy crap, Go West but it's 8 MINUTES LONG
Tuesday's Gone, Simple Man - what's not to like. And then FREE BIRD!!!!!
long album as his voice never leaves the same single tone but was good
didn't like it, could have easily been a single album, can't believe people will complain that jazz is the musician self-indulging but would listen to 2 discs of this
A pre-bedtime listen, chilled me out and had a great sleep, thanks Mr Coltrane!
darker than some of their other stuff, liked it better
more sexy sax than I've ever heard in a dire straits song before but enjoyed the album
Why this group exist escapes me, awful, can't give zero stars but hated every moment of this one
Up there with MJ for great pop music, not exactly my thing but defo a better listen than regular pop crud
boring, expected more from a group with sprouts in the title
better live, can't get into it at a desk
saffa jazz, super chill, loved it
didn't set the world alight
Meh, it's all bit all over the place and then, you know, Bohemian Rhapsody
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS
Medieval funk rock, some of the songs (esp. Goodbye & hello itself) pricked my ears up as being very listenable, then the jesters and jousters get involved again and it loses me - switched off twice and went and listened to some zeppelin instead!
Enjoyed this, chilled vibe while delivering a hard hitting message
Suuuuuperb
interesting, like the energy in this
MENTAL
great album, some hit songs on there. finishing on bold as love is superb
expected 60's stoner music, didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did
fookin long winded, first song - roundabout, was decent, downhill from there
good album, not gonna enter heavy rotation but enjoyed it
Some of a little dated, most of it seems ahead of it's time though!
Much preferred to the other Cohen album on here, found this one a great listen
Great!
bit beige this one, didn't really do too much but the girls were screaming like crazy in between songs
What an album! 4 stars cos it's good and a bonus star as it's live and from the same year that Pretty Woman and She Love's you (Beatles) were topping the charts and this just blows them out of the water
background noise, didn't wow me
was expecting a drumming masterclass from Neil Peart that didn't materialise
liked this one, not going on heavy rotation anytime soon but was a decent listen
Didn't realise this was such a sedate album - kinda passed by without jumping out much
Not my favorites by Neil Young but was still decent
Just wanted it to end, didn't get the fuss when it came out, even less on board with it now!
loads of sings you can't help but already know, it's good, guitar solos are boring though
Typical Springsteen, toe tappable but not amazing
mad mad album, yet really liked it!
Rival sons-esque, liked it, gonna give some of their other stuff a whirl based off that album
she can really sing, some good songs on there, hadn't heard her windmills of your mind before - awesome
Chilled out, the album flew by without any real standout songs but also was more than happy listening to it
it's good for a couple of songs as it's very different and the bongo solos are awesome, but by the end it feels like just bongos and shouting
LOVE THE BEASTIES! Already high on list of albums I listen to so although was gonna try and be objective it's getting a 5
their early sound is great, really raw guitar sound
what an album! listened to it years back as it comes up on loads of "best album ever" rankings but didn't really get the fuss, glad this came up for another round today as I loved it
Hey Joe was great, interesting album but overall not for me
Much preferred to a night at the opera, gets an extra star for stone cold crazy - love that one
Awesome, sounds like the incredibles!
Dillon-esque, loving a bit of lou reed
some great tracks on here, Plant's voice and Page's guitar work are such a good combo
Super angry, raw sound, loved it
Surprisingly enjoyed more than I thought
always thought I quite liked T-Rex having heard a bunch of their bigger songs, turns out an album is too much for me!
Nice Beach boys sound, chilled but without the stand out songs of pet sounds
Battery, damamg inc, Master of puppets - great album
80s synth pop, very samey, extra star for little 15 which I LOVED!
pretty good christmas album as far as they go, it's not Shatner Claus though
Fantastic way to wind down after meetings before logging off for the day
Interesting, not for me
Love a bit of jam!
Lyrically was ok, musically it ended and spotify moved on to 4 different artist and I didn't even notice!
Had a deluxe edition, includes an instrumental of "cakes" - great song! Album is seriously chilled, just what I needed but not quite enough for that final star!
really liked this, had no idea what to expect, thought it was a jazz record at the start!
feels like one of those albums that influenced a million artists and/or a genre. enjoyed it a lot
liked this a lot
enjoyed a lot more than expected
was ok, nothing wow though - had an expectation that lyrically I would be really impressed but not really
Too jazzy for me, technically impressive stuff but couldn't find a flow to help me get into it
would never have listened without this list. Probably not going to listen to much more Marianne Faithful although I wouldn't count it out either, why'd ya do it is a great way to finish off the album.
feels like 2 albums, possibly due to time taken to write vs release date, loved the instrumental finish
This was great!
Only knew all the young dudes by these guys and that weren't even in here! liked it though
Great, chilled out start to the week, not going to listen to it again but was a nice way to kick the week off
Seemed like all the components were there but it just didn't kick on and hold at an interesting rhythm
good ol' US rock n roll, what's not to like?
never really got the Dylan hype, but this was great!
early days of prog rock? had some interesting moments but felt like it went on a bit
thought I'd enjoy this more than I did, became pretty much background noise, was toying with 2 stars and then "They don't go when I go" came in and made this a firm 3
Couldn't get into this at all
Not much in the way of lyrics, sounds like a soundtrack great listen though
awesome start to the day! will defo be listening again
standard 70s pop, sounds like one long song with pauses thrown in
Too funky for me! Maggot brain/Chant was the standout for me, second half of that song was great
Great album, enjoyed it even more as it was directly off the back of Funkadelic!
it's good, loses a star for a collab with McCartney Thriller itself still the standout
was ok, nothing amazing but not offensive to my ears either
not for me, too electro-80s for my liking
Can't put my finger on it, but really enjoyed this!
loved it, Slow ride - amazing
easy listening, easily forgotten though too I reckon
bit on the mad side, liked some of it but went on far too long
nice album, unfortunately in the wrong mood for something this gentle
some singles I knew, and can see why they were the singles, rest is circus fillers
If it were the movie, probably a 4, but as a soundtrack there's a lot of random filler going on
thought she was much more upbeat at least, wrist cutting music
HIPPIES!!! It was kinda alright as an end of week wind down, not gonna be getting payed again although didn't hate it
nice chilled vibe, enjoyed it
great way to wind down on a friday, definite second listen due
chilled out country and western, what's not to like!
wow - doesn't sound like a 70s album at all, that could have been released yesterday. Suddenly wondered why he was heavily sampling "Without you" before realising it's his song! Just about getting over that and he puts the lime in the coconut...BRAVO!
very much background noise, upbeat but forgettable
wasn't as crazy as I expected, went by quite unnoticed
Enjoyed the first third but man did they drag that album out!
Hippies! Was ok, 15 songs was about 10 too many though
Love his voice, wouldn't go winning any singing competitions but has found a sound and style that really compliments it
just awful
really enjoyed this one, Hurt gets a hell of a lot of press but there's some great covers on here
Loved "couldn't believe it was true" good background music but not blown away
was ok as background noise while working, my version had some demo tapped on the end that sounded great
her voice is great, such a great fit with the music
not for me
nope, more 70s vanilla meh
nah, not for me
meh, went on a fair bit
odd, but had some songs I really liked, Cold war especially jumped out
Loved it, powerful playing, raw sound, aged well
Liked "if it takes all night" especially, overall was alreet
pile of crap
didn't realise it had finished and moved on to other albums, very much background noise
good, think the album art is more iconic than the music though
super hilled and really enjoyed
can see why school's out is the only one anyone has heard off this album, very different to the rest of the album, enjoyed the last 2 songs but not great overall
Bit too hippyish for me
one of those I'm sure has seriously influenced some artists down the year but is a little left behind now. Thankful at the end was a great way to finish an album
As far as a pop album goes, this has to be unbeatable, every song was a single!
can see why the hits were the hits, rest is very repetitive filler
Was ok, but went on for too many songs
much preferred to a night at the opera, without any real huge hits this still felt much more like classic queen
Sad but true still my favourite on this album. It’s good, the drumming is infuriatingly dull though
nice, chilled out, folksy vibe. Enjoyed this one over a coffee
was ok, too radio friendly for my liking
Never heard wasted time before, soppy as hell but a great song!
Sounded like the artist has a bunch of different mates who agreed to do a song each and they all have a different sound, songs were all over the place. Couldn’t get into it
Reptile, eraser, heresy - what an album this is.
So many hits on this, gets an extra star just for the chain but loses one for oh daddy.
Sam stone and pretty good are awesome. Not a huge fan of country but this really gets the toes tapping
Quite like the 2 “blues” songs, album a bit too sedate for my liking, kinda expected from Paul Simon though
Enjoyed this, thought it’d have had a few of their bigger hits on it but had only heard one track before today
Never listened to this before, expected quite a bit due to its timelessness, it did not disappoint! Upbeat, sounds great today so must have blown people away in ‘79
Frankie teardrop was mad but I liked it, kinda sums up the album
Sunshine of your love stands out a mile on here, liked the last 2 songs too “take it back” and “mothers lament”, last song jumps out as very different to the rest
Couple of the songs on here were brutal! Was a long album of similar sounding songs but defo some stand outs, they’re hanging me tonight and the hanging tree I really enjoyed.
Too folksy for me to really get into
really slow album, finishes well with Mrs Robinson and Hazy shade of winter, not too bad if looking to chill out I gess
Not listened to any Ryan Adams before, not likely to happen again intentionally, too radio safe for me. Some of the songs had a stones sound to them, these were better, but the album on the whole, not for me
Enjoyed the vocal on this, album a bit mad but worked because of it
Not for me, too soft
Great! Easy listening, solid guitars and a great tempo end to end
Sedate album but undeniably great, where the bass line for Eternal life comes from on this album I’ll never know
As soon as you hear it you know the artist, nothing like it even after all this time, 30 mins of madness and I loved it
gets an extra star for frontier psychiatrist, rest of the album felt like background noise as it has no flow
not sure I'd ever listened to this entire album before and think I preferred to whats the story
some of their biggest hits on here, the Bon Jovi fans must have lost their minds when this came out, felt like an extended end to a night in a club cheese room though
Feels like coffee shop background music, easy to have on in the background but not going to seek it out for another listen
Awful, tried the entire time to figure out how this would work live and had to concede it simply wouldn’t. Repetitive with nothing to catch my attention anywhere in the album
Found this instantly forgettable, much preferred the previous album on the list
Enjoyed this, not listened to much prolonged Rod previously, really liked “That’s alright”
What an album! Super chilled, really enjoyed from start to end, strong beat in the background keeping it going the whole way and just zoned out into it, defo listening again
I know it’s a Radiohead album, but I was just waiting for it to get going/kick off, the slow stuff is very good but needs at least a couple of more up tempo songs to break it up for the extra star
I guess the loop music was more innovative when Moby did it, but for me is very quickly incredibly repetitive. Again couldn’t understand how this would work in a live setting
This is a really tough one to rate, first half of the album I was wondering if I could listen to all of it, by the end I was kind of embracing its madness and enjoying what rhythmic music there was to enjoy - that said I do feel the second was more “musical” than the first. Was going to give a 2 but as I will defo listen again, purely out of curiosity, have gone one higher
Good for a few songs, very similar throughout though, liked the last song the most
Upbeat, pop friendly, just a Billy Joel album. Didn’t know “Just the way you are” is a Billy Joel original though
She can really sing, but album felt very reserved and with her holding back, was ok but felt like it was dragging
Good to get back to an album by a proper band again, largely forgettable, liked the 2 singer setup
Theme tune is 5 star, the rest does sound like background music to a movie and isn’t as engaging, was still a good listen and was good that a lot was instrumental
listened to it twice, simply loved the tone of her voice. Musically was ok, not much to get you jumping up and down but vocally I loved it
Superb! Full of funk and soul, was let down a little by the previous Isaac Hayes entry and this more than made up for it, never heard a version of walk on by like this one, assume no-one has done it like this since cos it just wouldn't get close
Proper hippy music, no rhythm to get behind, not for me
Radio friendly, low end pop. Don’t see how something as beige as this makes it on to a list that needs to be heard before I die
Better than expected, enjoyed The end and come together is a great track too.
Essentially the same song on repeat, it’s ok but best kept to the odd song popping up on a best of album somewhere
Was alright, pretty chilled rap with a decent bass line throughout, nothing jumped out at me though
Surprised a second album from this lot was on the list, this album was better than MBV but still found it boring
Listened to it 3 times round! Feel like studio time is slightly wasted on these guys as sounds like a garage and a 4 track, but think overall it’s better for it.
There are two five star things about this album - the end, and the fact that it’s not on Spotify so there’s no chance I’ll ever have to put up with it again, utter drivel- seemed like the artist had to put out an album to have an elongated whinge
Really nice relaxing tone to her voice, enjoyed listening to the album even though nothing like my style of music, but unlikely to listen again
Enjoyed the energy. Felt a little dated, probably due to the number of covers of their songs down the years, but still liked it
Was ok without being all that good, didn’t really find anything in here that blew me away
Just don’t get him as an artist, odd song is ok but very whiny style really grates over a whole album
Goo and Cinderella jumped out, look thing is a classic I’ve heard a million times. Sound is still raw and fresh for a 30+ year old album.
Was ok, seemed like slightly more upbeat lift music to me
Not a list of their greatest hits but a really good album, liked the flow between songs and then snowblind pops up in the middle as a great track
Has something of a Jeff Buckley vibe without actually ever getting very good, instantly forgettable
Started off too poppy for me but was kinda liking it by the end
Sounds a little dated in places but still a strong album
Great energy, guitar work and drums throughout, already loved this album so review maybe a touch biased
Nah, not for me this one, nothing in the musical side of it caught my ear and the rapping seemed pretty generic
What an album, so much energy from start to finish, some of their best songs and then Three Days which is one of my favourite songs of all time, shame I can only give 5 stars, want more!
Milk it, up there as one of my fave nirvana songs. Album is great, prefer the raw sound over nevermind, arguably doesn’t have as many big songs although depending on my mood I think it’s their best album
Can see why heroes was the big single, second half of the album was essentially self indulgent poor quality jazz.
Was going for 2 star unnoticeable background noise but the last few songs really dragged out and I ended up really not enjoying it
Passed by quickly enough, was an interesting fusion of Indian and Western music at points, although overall not for me.
Old school crooner pop music but I kinda enjoyed it
Was fine as background music, loopy and a little hooky but nothing amazing
This was great, the sound is still really raw and while Holiday in Cambodia takes all the plaudits kill the poor, lynch the landlord and Cali Uber alles all jump out too
Liked the sound, really like the guitars of the grunge era, something so clear was fave song on this one, will check out more by the artist whilst prob not putting this on again anytime soon
Punches itself out in the second half, take your mama and filthy I remember as the big singles, felt like the grand return of disco, really like their version of comfortably numb as it’s so different
Tone of his voice is really nice, really slow album overall, was ok as background noise though
Didn’t like this at all, one of those where I was wondering why it’s on this list and when it would be done
Funky and kinda cool but not as good as the Isaac hayes shaft album from earlier, loved Freddie’s dead, no idea the Fishbone song was actually a cover!
Sounded like a western soundtrack missed with Jazz, not the greatest, wouldn’t go back for another listen
This totally went by without anything of note for me, background inoffensive music and nothing more
Went into this convinced I wouldn’t like it, not a fan of the start or end of the album but kinda liked the middle bit, like the sound of the singers voice when he’s going for it properly
First half was a little sedate with old pop songs but really liked the second half oh sweet Mary and ball and chain jumped out
The sound quality for a 63 live album blew me away, liked his energy and his voice was superb, musically not so strong an album for me
Heavy pink Floyd vibes, some of the final songs really felt like they dragged out, would listen to more of their stuff though
Liked the strong bass lines, felt very 80s and mostly just passed by without much to note
Stairway is a standout but also has battle of evermore, black dog, going to California and to finish on when the levee breaks - what an album, still sounds great today
Was ok for a few songs but seriously dragged when getting out to songs 11/12
decent album to start the week cos it's generally quite uplifting, even if a USA-fest. Some of his bigger hits on this one, i can see why it's on the list although musically it's not a masterclass
went in with expectations and got really let down! Album is much more instrumental than I thought it would be and sounded almost more in the prog-rock space, felt really drawn out
Not exactly my type of music, but this was good, the singles jump out at you right away but even the filler songs have a lot going on with them really liked Serial Thrilla
Really enjoyed this, sounds really old but his tone and the tempo are great - will listen to more by this artist
Good in the background, really soothing although musically nothing was jumping out
too folksy for me, can only take so many flute solos per hour and this pushed it too far
nice enough to have on in the background without anything particularly to note musically - wouldn't bother again
Don't mind a bit of disco, thankfully this didn't drag on too long so I finished the album and it didn't feel like a slog. Really liked "you're a friend to me" - much slower than the rest of the album and was a real nice way to change it up
Really liked this, only half an hour so didn't drag out, first half has a real funk vibe to it and then it slows down in the second half, actually think "first time ever" is one of the weaker songs on here, really liked mother nature though - not likely to listen again though
Not for me at all, looping dance music that feels like each song could easily be 30 long instead of 4-5 minutes
Super chilled, really enjoyed this, nothing standout about it but interesting enough that having it on in the background I'd stop to check it out
not for me, singer takes over the sound and it's all in the same tone throughout so sounds like one song on repeat - that said I did enjoy it more than I thought I would
Expected to hate it, wasn't too bad actually, as a trio they harmonise really well which I find much more listenable than just Beyonce trailing off solo
Technically superb, listened to it twice to try and take it all in, although unlikely to listen again in future
quite optimistic with the opening few songs, but quickly became a standard radiohead album for me- vocally can be great in places but spends most of the time slow and dreary
I found nothing to like about this one, except when it was over, couldn't tell if it was country, folk or jazz but it didn't do any of it well
largely passed me by without much to note
