An immense, powerful classic!

First half of the album was good, tapered off in the back half

Solid classic rock throughout

Interesting experiment but not something I would listen to regularly

Pleasant enough I guess but way too long

A little too experimental and long for my tastes

Can’t deny the quality of work that went into it and the influence it has had. But on a listening level I found the beginning of the album a little unenjoyable. I found the back half sounded better to my ear

Really good punk!

A nice chill listen, but while I love Sinatra I’m not sure he was suited to this style of music. It’s still good, but it’s no Getz/Gilberto

I’m sure this is a seminal album in the genre and pioneered new techniques, but if you don’t enjoy soundscapes you won’t enjoy this.

Classic Chili Peppers. I like the harder funk style of BSSM better, but this is a close second

It just doesn’t get more 80s!

I can see why it was exciting at the time, but it sounds pretty generic now.

Aww yeah pour that BritPop on me!

A true classic

It doesn’t get more classic soul than this.

Love these songs and this band in general, but they do NOT know how to end a song

True classic hip hop in the vein of Earth, Wind, and Fire or Grandmaster Flash

I’ve struggled with this album in the past, but I’m glad I gave it another try. It paints a consistent picture of Compton and has strong lyrics. Musically I don’t enjoy it as much as some other hip hop.

Not to my taste

Just some old-fashioned rock and roll. Love it

Nope

A fusion of a few genres, mostly hardcore punk and metal. Not bad

REM is obviously iconic. This album was really good, and interestingly it felt more understated and consistent than their other ones. There were no standout tracks like their big singles later on, but that kind of made the album as a whole more listenable.

I appreciate her place in music, but I just don’t like divas

Not the best of the 90s, but it’s still 90s so you can’t go too wrong.

So much more here than just Bohemian Rhapsody! What a great album.

Love those chill vibes

It’s not the incredible masterpiece that is Getz/Gilberto, but it’s still a great album

Not as incredible as Songs for the Deaf, but you can hear where they are headed on this one

Not very interested in instrumental music

I mean you can’t go wrong with Judas Priest, but why not listen to Screaming for Vengeance instead? It’s better pretty much throughout

Hardcore punk classic and fun to rage out with

Some weird shit

It’s fine. I enjoyed the first half more than I expected, but it began to drag after that. Would rather listen to 1984

It was fine

This deserves all the praise it gets

Really good album

Classic reggae. The back half of the album is where all the famous tracks are.

The melancholy, the rock sound infused with the tiniest bit of country, Young’s distinctive voice. It’s a solid album, but the guitar solos feel a bit indulgent.

It’s fine I guess. Was new at the time, now sounds a little generic.

Love that jangly guitar. These guys are right up there with th Beatles, the Hollies, the Zombies, etc. Love it!

I was initially excited for some jazzy pop, but unfortunately it’s not the good jazzy. It’s the bad 80s smooth jazzy. Pass

She made an instant classic with those soul sounds and sultry voice.

How did an album with this many bangers get made?!

Makes sense that this would be hugely influential, but I don’t know that I’d put it on to listen regularly.

Unusual to hear a concept R&B album. It was pretty good, but probably not something I’ll come back to.

I’ve just never been able to get into Morrissey’s smarmy voice and slow burn songs.

Can’t go wrong with Janis Joplin. I like her work with Big Brother and the Holding Company better, but this is solid

It’s not bad, but overall kind of meh

Way too long for some unremarkable 70s stoner rock

I’m just not interested in metal

I love that this probably made no sense when it was released. Got those distinctive 80s vocals with shoegaze-style distortion sounds. Pretty good, but I do kind of like the listenability of Darklands better.

A true classic

Bowie is one of those where I see the influence he has but just don’t particularly enjoy him

Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me

It’s okay, but not really what I’m looking for

This is one of the reasons I come to this site! An amazing band I’ve never heard of, becoming something I want to listen to repeatedly

This album was such a revelation

Chill vibes, pretty fun. But did it need to be a double album?

Chillhop before it was cool

Seemed just kind of generic in this day and age

I’ve never liked U2 and this album didn’t really change that situation

I can see how this influenced a lot of music, but it just wasn’t listenable enough for me to come back to in the future

This kind of early metal is the only good metal

This album is a lot of fun

Forgettable 80s pop

It’s pretty good but I feel like the intense popularity of this album has more to do with when it came out than it’s quality.

The least listenable Kanye album. It shows genius, but I won’t be listening to it again

An immense, powerful classic!

They don’t love you like I love you

Not bad, an eclectic mix that handles itself well but isn’t mind blowing

Meh

A classic. Trails off a little there at the end, but still a good album

Ah back when being young and angry was all you needed to have a band

Reggae is always pretty listenable, but it never really grabs me

Well that was awful

Just kind of annoying

Fun, but I see why they were one hit wonders in the States

Started strong with the title track, but they lost me in the back half with the 80s sax

Not bad!

It was ok I guess, not really my thing

Gorgeous Nina Simone-esque voice and it’s really cool to see how Africa pop was introduced to the US. I probably won’t listen if it regularly, but it was very interesting

Solid old school psychedelic and blues rock

The really well known songs do a lot of the heavy lifting on this album. It rates well overall, but mostly because of them

Verra pleasant

Boring af

Kind of weird, didn’t wow me

Since it’s their first album I get that it was groundbreaking, but this is far from the best Pink Floyd

Pretty solid Smiths album. Great if you like the Smiths, not if you don’t.

There’s a definite groove here, but it’s better background than it is sit and listen music

Not bad

Too experimental for me

Just a load of uninteresting blips and bloops

Some fun disco, I’m just not in the mood for disco often

You oughtta know

Really solid album

So good

Great!

Still just can’t get past lukewarm on Bowie.

A valuable, but pretty uneven listening experience

Very much in the tradition of Simon and Garfunkel or Bob Dylan. But unfortunately there isn’t a lot of variety in his sound on this album, so I like it less than those other artists

Enjoyed this more than I expected

I’ve tried with Elvis Costello a few times now but I just can’t get into his music. His melodies are just too jumpy and disjointed for me

They almost made some really good music

Not really a fan, feels like this style got played out in the 90s

I was close to loving this album but there’s something just not quite right about it

A little smarmy but ok

God damn that was dull

Solid indie rock album with some interesting use of unusual sounds

A classic, but not all of it holds up. The singles still carry the whole thing though

RHCP out- Fishbone’d Fishbone, but they’re still fun to listen to occasionally

Just straight boring

The epitome of 70s hard rock, so you already know if you love it or not

Metal 🤷

Beautiful voice and creative music, but it suffers from the same problem all concept albums have. You have to buy into the concept in order to reconcile the sometimes wild shifts in style and feel. I had to take a couple points off for that

An absolute classic that will always rock

A classic but not my favorite type of hip hop

Metal 🤷

Pretty decent space rock. Album starts off strong but gets a bit unremarkable about halfway through

There’s a reason these guys got as big as they did

First half is great, real funky. Second half doesn’t have quite the same charm

A new one to me. Nothing really grabbed me, but it was good overall

Solid ballads

Crazy good album, just unreal

Standard old school hip hop

A little experimental in the middle but less so than some other Radiohead albums. I’d rate it second best of their stuff.

Late 80s sound in the early 90s

This is the female singer-songwriter album. If you like that you’ll love this

An incredible classic start to finish

First half was great jazz, second half was old school hip hop and new wave 80s pop. Both good, but the transition is very abrupt.

This was great

I’m sure it’s great if you like electronic music

Old school hip hop, gets pretty goofy at times

Fine enough I suppose

Surprised to see this album of theirs - maybe Who’s Next is in the list too. Anyway, at this point they were mostly straightforward blues rock. My Generation is where you can see flashes of the brilliance they would get to. Still a strong album though.

The Velvet Underground but not nearly so experimental. Some really nice ballads and classics on here

It’s so intensely 80s and the singles are so well known it’s hard to hear them as anything but your own preconceptions.

While Wildflowers is definitely the better album, this one really showed what you could do with sampled music and set the stage for the future. And it’s still very listenable

So classic, so good

Lacks the genius singles of some of his other albums, but is overall a decent Van Morrison listening experience

Not into this late stage jazz. Give me bebop or nothing at all

Too overwrought for my tastes

Absolutely classic, if you haven’t heard this you’ve been missing out

The Talking Heads as they started to get their trademark sound down. In general it’s a fine album but lacks standout tracks

I just consistently can’t stand metal

Heavily blues based, which is great. I could have done without some of the country touches, but I know most love that. Solid album all the way around

Solid R&B

What a great album! The organ gives it an extra R&B layer that works really well

Did not expect to like this as much as I did

An R&B classic

Better than I expected it to be. Maybe a little too experimental at times, but nothing ever really turned me off

Electronic garbage

More of an inspiration for better music than something I enjoyed for itself

Unbelievable

A lot of fun. Got a little out there on one track, but otherwise a solid retro vibe from a modern band. Love it

Excellent UK blues

Started out ok, got real tedious real fast

Can’t go wrong with classic 90s alt rock

Blast some punk!

Green Onions is an unstoppable banger. The rest of the album is less inspired and a little too same-y, but still fun to listen to. I’d say the next best song is the surf-rock-esque You Can’t Sit Down
