Yeah...so...I know Eminem has some great music but this wasn't it. The beats were good, and he obviously has amazing rhyming capabilities, but the lyrics are just so so SO cringy. The violence and the misogyny reveal an immaturity that is off-putting. My feelings for this album is the embodiment of Schmidt saying: "Youths!"

Just a lot of noise for most songs... especially the first which never led to anything. Even the tracks that are "songs" stretch on for too long. Nothing exciting or very enjoyable.

A fun listen...he's got a great voice. Definitely feel-good music!

While I can appreciate their influence and legacy on music, this was decidedly NOT for me. Too much swearing and often the sound mixing seemed off, where the vocals and background beat didn't blend into each other

I liked the music but the lyrics were a bit much and the singer started to become obnoxious

I actually really enjoyed this music style, despite the singing seeming "off" in certain songs. His voice works so well with most of the songs and I feel like if the sound mixing had been better in others (with the vocals meshing better with the music instead of sounding like mediocre karaoke), I would have given it an extra star.

A fun listen with generally toe-tapping rhythm (albeit angry lyrics) but a bit repetitive musically/ vocally

Very 80s vibe. Not bad just not for me

Love Nina Simone! She has such a rich, unique, haunting voice!

Enjoyable, easy listening!

A fun listen! I enjoyed their quirky twist on rock and the tongue-in-cheek nature of many of the songs. I also liked their take on the Sonny and Cher and California Sun covers

My family used to listen to this CD in the car all the times and Take Five is one of my dad's favorite songs, so this album has heavy nostalgic power for me! The music is so masterful and wonderful <<chef's kiss>>

I initially was going to give this 3 stars since it's fine as background music even if it wasn't my favorite, but it just became so repetitive musically and vocally that halfway through I began to actively dislike it and wanted to quit listening.

Just a lot of noise for most songs... especially the first which never led to anything. Even the tracks that are "songs" stretch on for too long. Nothing exciting or very enjoyable.

Strange but strangely delightful. It really brought to mind the inner musical monologue of a modern-day Casanova

Meh...fine as background music but nothing particularly notable or exciting

Despite not even containing many of my favorite Queen songs (except Bohemian Rhapsody, obvs) this album still delivers. With Freddie's amazing voice, each song is interesting and enjoyable!

Good voice, good sound though not much variety musically. Nice solid listen though!

Very soothing with oldies feel that I'm super digging

I didn't hate it but also didn't enjoy it at all. This genre just really isn't my thing for casual listening

While I would not go back and listen again, I definitely felt cool while listening 😆

Enjoyable but as I often feel with RHCP, becomes tedious. Some songs were hits for me and others misses.

Nice background music, though very one note throughout

Another easy listen that was very enjoyable

While a bit bland, I didn't not like this album and almost gave it 3 stars. 90s rock isn't really my genre so I didn't mind the music or find it bad, but the album is unnecessarily long so it dropped down to 2 stars

Great listen! I didn't love all the songs (sometimes I felt their voices didn't match the level of rock that they needed for certain songs) but the ones that were more funky/bluesy were amazing!

Classic! Iconic! Wonderful! This was my favorite Beatles CD when I was a kid and it holds up with their 60s rock style that they mastered!

Love his voice, which makes me wish there was more of it on this album as there were a lot of instrumental songs. No song particularly stood out as one that I'll go back to again but I enjoyed listening the whole time!

I can definitely acknowledge their cultural impact and the musical influence that they have, however, it doesn't make it any less of a chore to listen to these songs that are so full of profanity. This genre is not what I look for in my music.

Fine, fun background music. Though to listen to a straight hour of electronic dance music does eventually wear on the nerves...would have probably like it better in smaller doses

This album is a strange amalgamation of so many different music styles but it keep it interesting song to song!

This style of music is just really not for me. All it sounds like to me is whiny rock and I just don't find it enjoyable to listen to

Nothing particularly exciting but enjoyable

I really enjoyed the vibe of this music and the tone of his voice. Buzzin' Fly was a stand out for me and one that I'll have to add to my own mix of music!

What a vast improvement over the other album of theirs I listened to! I really enjoyed this album...they definitely found their sound and were able to much better compliment the vocals with the music. I'll be going back to re-listen to a couple of the songs for sure!

Nothing impressed me with this album. I felt like the singing was often overwhelmed by the music and all you could hear was the title phrase being repeated over and over

He has a great storytelling style and some beautiful songs. I think I prefer Don McLean in smaller doses, as all the songs feel too similar when listened to one after another

While I enjoyed the upbeat fun sound, the songs were way too similar. I don't like when I can't understand a word they sing and honestly thought they were speaking a foreign language. I was surprised that it was an American duo!

Beautiful voice! I thoroughly enjoyed this whole album!

This was a very enjoyable listen! I especially loved the transitions/smooth flow from one song to another. You could tell a lot of care was put into the order and flow of this album

Liked it but didn't love it. This is another style that I prefer in tiny doses and don't enjoy one after another as it becomes tedious and a tad annoying

Wasn't for me but had good variety

Soothing and good as background music but not something I'd come back to listen to again

Solid 80s rock!

Love Frank's voice and this album is very soothing though it could use a bit more variety

Bit too messy and muddled for my liking and even when it wasn't muddy, it was boring

I feel like this album suffers from not aging well and the songs feel like parodies of this style of music. I was underwhelmed.

I like his voice and style and the straight forward simplicity of the songs. Some parts were a bit trippy but I dug it!

I like the music but am having a strong aversion to Bruce Springsteen's voice. He sounds like an old man who used to be a good singer but no longer has the range he used to...and this is during his prime! I've never really listened to "the boss" outside of the ones you hear on the radio over and over and I was shocked how unimpressed I was by his singing

This whole album is a bop, as the youths say (said?🤷‍♀️). Great rock that I enjoyed beginning to end!!

Great 60s rock with lots of variety. Very enjoyable!

London Calling is an amazing song! A lot of the rest of the album kind of all melded together for me and was too long in my opinion, but an enjoyable listen with a great punk rock sound

I LOVE this style of music and this is a great find that I'll have to go back to again and again! The singer has a wonderful tone of voice and the music has a great groove!

Not something I'll go back to, but good music with a great beat

A classic for a reason! Jim Morrison's voice is so haunting and sultry and the music is just so good

I wish the rest of the songs on this album lived up to Fame, which is an unbelievably amazing song. I felt like Bowie was trying a style that didn't really fit as well with his voice...I liked it but didn't love it.

I love Ray Charles and his sound. This album was a great listen but I felt it was a bit disjointed - going from popular music of the time and then to "cowboy" music and back again. I feel like it would have flowed better as two separate albums but I enjoyed listening nonetheless!

Too 2000s-y, too boring, too similar, too much not for me

It was fine.

This is not a genre of music I care to listen to outside of a good old fashioned dance party, so the fact that I enjoyed listening to this album is a testament to Fatboy Slim. It has a wonderful vibe of fun throughout the album

Loved the smooth transition from song to song and the fun mix of short songs and longer ones!

Guitar was goid and while I didn't dislike it, I didn't exactly enjoy it either. I appreciated that it was short and to the point though!

I really enjoyed this album and their unique sound mixed with classic rock! I ended up knowing more songs than I realized too

This was a snooze fest for me. Fine as background "muzak" but so repetitive and lackluster and WAY too long

I feel like I was supposed to be more impressed by this album given it's lofty status. The title track was great but I wanted more from the rest of the album

Pleasing as background music. Not something I'll come back to but definitely enjoyable

While interesting that this was the first album to be marked as ambient music, there really wasn't anything special about it for me. Soothing and peaceful but unimpressive

Definitely an important listen-- powerful, moving, and timely! I especially liked the spoken word parts. Due to the protest nature of the album, it's not one I'll go back to for casual listening but I found it well done and emotion inducing!

The Eagles are a band that while they don't appeal to my personal preference for music I like to come back to over and over, I can acknowledge and appreciate their talent in their songs. This was a pretty solid album, until the last song. I'm all for a protest song but found The Last Resort so bland and blatant that i feel it drags down the rest of the album.

A solid listen if you're looking for that classic 90/00's girls alt rock band sound. Not something I seek out generally, but done well

Solid album with several great hits that I enjoyed all the way through. Though Coldplay can often sound similar song to song, their lyric game is so strong that I can overlook that

Simple Man is one of my favorite songs and Free Bird is a classic for good reason. I especially enjoyed the more folk-y sounding songs...great American rock listen

Not super impressed by the vocals...a bit too "talk singing"...but, despite some songs being way stranger than others, I can't deny that I really enjoy the style and the vibe of his music

Singer has a great vocal tone but songs were nothing special. Pleasant enough but not something to come back to again

I know Bob Dylan isn't for everyone but I'm a huge fan and his lyricism is undeniable. His songs never fail to make me feel. He is an American folk icon for a reason and this wasn't even my favorite of his albums. Outstanding songwriting and moving music

I generally do not enjoy live concerts as much as studio albums, and while this was no exception, I didn't mind it so much. I enjoyed the riffs and "jamming" but it also made a lot of the songs fade into the background as generic "rock music".

I liked their sound but the songs were too long and repetitive within each song. I didn't dislike the music, but wasn't especially impressed by anything

Rod Stewart's voice is perfect for this type of music. It was a good listen!

You can tell that they were trying to do something different, but it just didn't impress me

I like the energy but that's about all I liked. It also being too long was the final nail in the coffin

Lyrics are a bit clunky at times, not something I'd come back to listen to again but done well enough

This was decidedly not for me. Entirely too long and nothing really impressed me

Good variety of songs. Her vocal tone reminds me a lot of Carly Simon

Too chaotic for my musical taste. Somehow was both too much and too little at the same time

Pleasing music but when listened to all in a row, becomes a bit repetitive and one note

Made me want to dance! Solid album but "She's Out of My Life" did not belong on here

Often faded into the background but pleasing nevertheless

Love me some Elvis and his buttery voice! Not my favorite set of Elvis songs (I prefer his earlier stuff) but I'd listen to The King sing the phonebook and be happy. Suspicious Minds is such an A+ song

I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this album! If I'm going to listen to country, this "cowboy" folky style is definitely what I prefer and I was almost sad when it was over so quickly. Not something I would seek out for daily listening but I definitely enjoyed it and would listen to Merle Haggard again when I'm in the mood for this type of music

It was okay. I'm not a fan of the whiny/angsty rock lead singer voice...it becomes too much when listened to as a whole

They do what they do well! Many of their songs are classics for good reason but it's not my favorite kind of rock, so when listened to as a whole, it becomes a bit one-faceted.

Unique and strange, but interesting strange! I personally believe it could have benefited from being a shorter album, as in my opinion, less is more for "different" music

I'll admit that my rating is skewed on this one as I grew up listening to Paul Simon and consider him in my top 5 artists. Some of these songs were kinda misses for me, but even on the ones that weren't my favorites, I love his voice, his music and his storytelling in his songs. While there are much better Paul Simon albums, I enjoyed every minute of listening to this, especially the title track

Nothing stood out for me in this album. The songs blended into each other one after another into the background with nothing that captured my interest

Good variety and there's a certain "je ne c'est quoi" with the music that's so pleasing for me -- like round tones or clean sound or something I can't put my finger on!

A great live album! Fantastic drumming, guitars, vocals and you could tell the band was enjoying themselves in their set!

There is just nothing in this music that appeals to me. It is a mix of both boring and annoying in turns

I had a lot of fun listening to this one! Good variety and definitely quirky, but I was digging it!

Some really good classic hip-hop. Lots of variety and I was going to say the feel was more "fun", which I enjoyed, up until the last song which definitely had some more disturbing lyrics

This album ultimately just didn't impress me. The vocals weren't very strong, the lyrics were kinda boring and the music faded into the background as "muzak" or cocktail lounge-y

This album was definitely all over the place stylistically but I was there for it! It's an interesting mix of Americana, ballads and what I'm calling "zany rock n roll"

She's got a good voice and was doing some interesting and unique stuff. Unfortunately, it may have just been the mood I was in, but it just didn't capture my attention/interest at all and I was just waiting for the album to be over.

Pleasant enough to listen to but easily forgettable

One of my favorite genres of music done so very well! Time of the Season is such a great song!

If you asked me before, I would have told you I didn't care for Eric Clapton so I was very pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this album! I prefer this folksy/bluesy type of sound from him -- I especially loved the song Please Be With Me.

Not something I'll come back to but it was interesting and unexpectedly a good listen!

Metal legit never fails to put me in a good mood. I have a major character flaw in that I CANNOT take metal seriously and just imagine the band yelling and making strange noises, and hence, I smile and giggle my way through each song. I highly enjoyed this album, though I recognize not in the way it was probably intended 😃

While it doesn't fall within my personal taste for music consumption, it was still a good listen and you can hear and appreciate the influence that Radiohead had over 90s and 2000s music. I especially enjoyed High and Dry, but the rest kind of blends together as too "mopey" for me but good music regardless

I always wish I liked the Foo Fighters more based on the seemingly fun personalities of Dave Grohl and the other band members, but they are just not for me. I am consistently underwhelmed, especially with the vocals

Funky and groovy classics! I was really digging the long version of Papa Was A Rolling Stone

You can tell it makes a great soundtrack, but a tad dull for just listening to. Good music though!

Some good classic hip-hop! A cool album concept, though became a little repetitive sounding as the songs went on

Nothing like starting an album off with a 20 minute long song. This was not for me...seemed like a glorified jam session for most songs

A good listen! An interesting jazz-y sound

Good music but definitely not their strongest works.

WAY too twangy and slow for my taste. The Weatherman was a nice reprieve but then it went right back to essentially the same song over and over. I'm shocked this album was under 30 minutes because it felt SO SO much longer

A "cleaner" sounding metal band, leaning more towards rock to me than metal. A good listen!

The vocals in several of the songs were just atrocious (especially Love is a Sign). Even the songs that weren't grating to the ears were mediocre at best.

Fun and easy listening!

Such an 80s sound, almost a caricature of 80s music with the slow singing and the synth

This whole album SLAPS! Amazing bluesy-rock with great variety

Definitely some different and interesting things going on stylistically, but it just wasn't for me

Love me some Santana! Amazing guitar and great mix of rock, Latin flair and jazziness...just so entertaining and fun musically! Listened to this during my childhood and it more than holds up!!

Yeah...so...I know Eminem has some great music but this wasn't it. The beats were good, and he obviously has amazing rhyming capabilities, but the lyrics are just so so SO cringy. The violence and the misogyny reveal an immaturity that is off-putting. My feelings for this album is the embodiment of Schmidt saying: "Youths!"

This feels like punk rock with a really solid foundation of classic 60s/70s rock and roll. I really enjoyed this album!

Great sultry voice! "Cry to Me" gets bonus points for being on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack 😁 A bit of a one-faceted album but a wonderful listen

It was just "meh" for me...nothing really excited me or stood out. Also there were several times per song that I was actively unimpressed or put off by the vocals

Cool as background music or would work really well on the soundtrack of a 90s/00s action movie, but to just listen to as a whole album it just becomes noise at a certain point. A bit too long for how repetitive the songs are

Fun and funky! The lead singer has such a distinctive voice with a great clear tone

I just don't enjoy this style of singing -- it's just too downer, too much "whine" in his voice, and I don't like when I can't understand most of the words. Ok musically but I don't find this pleasurable to listen to

This was a musical rollercoaster...but I think I liked it!! A bit weird and out-there, a bit 60s ballads, a bit 70s rock. It was chaotic, but definitely organized chaos and the album actually has really good flow.

While Green Day doesn't fall into my personal preference for casual listening, this album was a banger! The first half I was really feeling...great rock, unique/distinctive vocals, good variety...but the second half kinda feel a bit flat for me with the songs being a tad too long and repetitive. Great album though!

Nothing of note, didn't hold my attention

Masterful and soothing

I didn't care for the Ramones. While the first song's simple beat and monotone singing worked for it, the rest of the songs were literally that same thing over and over. Also having 14 songs that clocked under 30 minutes is unnecessary and maybe they should have focused on less songs with more substance/variety

Karen Carpenter's voice is so clear and gorgeous. This album had great variety and it's fun to hear a lot of songs that I know from oldies radio or movies/show soundtracks. Just an all around pleasant listen!

This album frustrates me because I quite enjoy the song writing, the wit, the vibe, and the variety of this album but it's length seems self-indulgent and gimmicky. I only made it through 31 songs and I'm just not inclined to continue to listen...the enjoyment just doesn't outweigh my willingness to give it more of my time

Ugh. Setting aside the bland first couple of songs that I was merely not enjoying, suddenly there were several songs in a row that were assaulting my ear. This album seemed to vacillate between the bleh and the horrible

Beach Boys are always a pleasant listen, even if nothing is particularly whizbang. "God Only Knows" is a great song, while the rest just remain middle of the road to me

It's fine but nothing exciting. Forgettable and nothing I'll ever have reason to go back to

A good listen and something outside my normal music preference

I was excited for this album based on the one Thundercat song I knew, but I'm very underwhelmed by the music. Seems too muted and the vocals aren't very strong or well integrated with the music

A good listen and a good length

Not something I'd seek out to listen to again, but they do their genre well

Very interesting listen with lots of variety!

Not bad...I mean, not good either but not bad

The guitar in the first song was enough to bump this album up an extra star, even with the stranger psychedelic aspects of the last song. It was a great mix of funk and rock

I really just didn't care for this album -- I didn't like the lead vocalist and the songs were just bland. They also couldn't seem to pick a lane musically...do they want to be a metal band, or a Red Hot Chili Peppers knockoff, or a whiny rock band?

Some good guitar and drums! They are obviously a classic in this genre for a reason, but it seems just a bit too similar song to song and didn't wow me as much as I expected it to

Pleasant music for background listening. My love for Fisherman's Blues (from the Waking Ned Devine soundtrack) and the interesting cover of Van Morrison's "Sweet Thing" combined with that pleasantness is enough for me to bump it up to three stars, although the collector's edition of this album makes it a bit too long.

Great harmonies and great vibe! Easy and enjoyable listening

I didn't really care for this album. The style of the music and the style of the vocals were a strange mix

This album bored me. The vocals/lyrics seem clunky to me

I'm not sure if I'll come back to it, but I super enjoyed it while listening! The album had great flow and good variety

Music is 4 stars, vocals are 2 stars

I'm a bit torn on this one. There were definitely parts of this album that were good, but I think more that were just okay. While I normally enjoy variety in an album, in this case I feel like it was too many things put together that created an album that was too long and not as strong as it could have been if he'd concentrated on one thing. While I didn't dislike any of it, I really couldn't find anything that made it special or worthy of appearing on a list of albums I needed to listen to

Love Willie's voice and the album was so pleasing as just one song effortlessly transitioned into another! Good length too

I feel about the same about this album as the other Black Sabbath album...music was good but the vocals weren't for me. I do think it was more interesting as they were obviously trying some different stuff, but still just not super impressive to me

The Beatles will always be a bop for me and full of nostalgia, as I grew up listening to them due to my dad's love of the Beatles. I was only familiar with about half of these -- it was an enjoyable, succinct album!

After reading about this album, I think there might be something being "lost in translation"...it seems like this was new concept of using mostly sampling in music. While that is definitely a cool idea, when it just boils down to the listening of this album, for me it leaves a lot to be desired and just was boring

I love T. Rex and their distinctive vocals and fun beats. Cosmic Dancer and Get It On have been long time favorites of mine. Some of their songs definitely are very similar sounding, but as I enjoy them, I'm going to ignore that!

Fun to listen to some old-school hip hop. Songs were pretty similar but good

I began listening to this album for the first time just enjoying it as some good rock but a couple of songs in, I was reading about it and realized it was a concept album. It became an entirely new experience then to read along with the plot of the album and hear the songs that correspond with the story it was telling! Not only is it great music, but the idea behind it makes it so much more powerful and impressive!

Great voice, great music! It always impresses me how many different kinds of music David Bowie does so well!

Solid solid music from beginning to end! I especially liked Going to California
