I never really liked them, I don't understand the hype. Overrated for me.

Pearl

Not great not terrible. Honestly, I do not think her voice is as legendary as people say. It's her attitude and vibe.

5/5

This is quite far from my taste, but somehow one of my favourite band and this album is a masterpiece. In my opinion the most exciting song is Double Bass, which is quite unexpected.

I like this. "Visions" is beautiful. Higher Ground is a super hit, I've heard it before. And Stevie Wonder is a genius, can't make bad music. Five star.

Not the worst. It is hard to make opinion about something out of my comfort zone. I give it 3, because it was nice, chillin' stuff.

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

5/5

It was the biggest surprise on this site so far. It is unbelievable!

All Mod Cons

The Jam

4/5

It was really new way of rock for me. I had to read about mod subculture and stuff, it is really interesting part of rock history. David Watts is great but as I read it is a cover. The other songs are only 3 or 4 stars for me. I give it a four.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Teenage vibes for me, I loved grunge when I was 16, This was one of my favourite albums. I give it 5. For me, this is THE grunge album.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

Exciting album from the 90's with several hits. A bit fluttering in style and too long for my taste.

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

1/5

Jesus, it is unlistenable.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

I listened the extended version of the album, and I thought I give it 4, it is usually catchy, but I enjoyed the bonus part more than the original part, so I give it 3.

The Stooges

2/5

I wanna be your dog is great, and I like The Doors vibes, but it is still a poor album for me.

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

I love Bowie, but this is not my favorite era of him. I give 4 stars just because there are much better Bowie albums in my opinion. Of course it is great, too :)

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

2/5

There are good punk vibes on this one, But it is quite boring, and the singer's voice is cringe. I like some songs of the Hives, but none of them are in this album.

The Clash

4/5

Closer

Joy Division

3/5

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Led Zeppelin

5/5

One of my favourite albums of all time. When Stairway started I stopped working and let the music flow through my brain.

White Light

Gene Clark

4/5

I'm not a big fan of country music, but it was great as a background to my working hours. There is something in country music that is triggering me all the time, but in this one there wasn't.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

Great pop album

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

One of the greatest duos of all time. Great heart-warming folk music with beautiful poetry. This album is a masterpiece, most of the songs were a lesson for me when I was studying playing the guitar. I give it 4 stars, just because "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is the best S&G album.

Abbey Road

Beatles

Some years ago I tried to listen her early albums, and it was terrible. Now I thought I give it a 2nd chance with this album. It is much better, and Thom Yorke in that two songs is brilliant.

Mike Oldfield

5/5

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

I never really liked them, I don't understand the hype. Overrated for me.

Heroes

David Bowie

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

This voice is very impressive

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

It is a really unique unplugged show from Nirvana with catharsis at the end. That Lead Belly cover always gives me goosebumbs. I fckn love it.

Forever Changes

Love

5/5

It was totally new for me. I liked it, good ol' 60's, good ol' drugs

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

3/5

Chillin', absolutely listenable pop-ish vibes. Won't be my favourite, but is was nice for working.

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

5/5

I don't really like Leonard Cohen's music, however I do like many "similar" music. This album was good. It is a 4 for me, but I give it a 5 because The Partisan made me pick up the guitar during work hours... :)

3/5

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

3/5

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Great, the ending song "Going Home" made me give five star.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

3/5

As a Dylan fan it is really hard to rate an album of him, because you subconsciously compare them. It is a great album, Not Dark Yet is one of my fav tracks, but this an oldy rusty Dylan album. I prefer his album from his youth, I think the top of the hill was Blood on the Tracks, and if that is 5, I can only give 3 on this one.

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

As a rock fan, this is the album why I'm here. Experience good music from other genres. Protection is a great background music for... anything? I have listened it for work. I liked it.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

3/5

Enjoyable, but I always waiting for the blast...

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

5/5

This is the perfect example why I'm doing this. This is a masterpiece, however I've never heard about it. Background story of Dennis Wilson is also interesting (and sad).
