Not as bad as I thought it would be, but still pretty bad..

I'm not the biggest Jazz connoisseur, but I'm rarely disapoint when I listen to a classic album, especially when it come to Miles Davis.
Paul Simon
4/5
Guilty pleasure. It's nice to know that world music was part of a mainstream album. I love it, but I cant really explain more than that. Just a cool vibe.
Funkadelic
3/5
It's ok in a best of or a playlist but the whole album is a bit long..
Primal Scream
1/5
What the ****. Almost fall asleep in my car, after the begining of each song I was already mad that I still need to endure another 6minutes or even more..
BORING, there's a small portion of me that maybe able to understand why someone in the 90's would have like it, but being a fan in 2022 mean that you're a psycho
The Who
3/5
Some great moment, but then the second after you feel tired.. Just too long.

#Classic
5 stars no question.

Better than the first one for sure. fews hits but not my type at all

LCD Soundsystem
4/5
Nice discovery, thanks 1001.
It's like talking head on steroides !
Love it.
Willie Nelson
2/5
I really like willie nelson, but must admit this one is a bit boring.
Simply Red
2/5
Boring. I'm giving a 2 stars just because I know it's a cult album. Pale copie of other artist such more talented. So Beige...
Arcade Fire
4/5
Probably my fav AF. I used to be a huge fan, now that I discover more music, I'm less impress. But I admire the fact that they merge a lot of genre and compete with pop artist in the last 2 decades and still manage to reach the tops mainstream charts
Cocteau Twins
5/5
I needed that his morning. Cocteau Twins are such talented artist. Album is really interressing, I migth listen to it one more time just to feel the atmosphere.
Spacemen 3
2/5
Better than I thought it would be, but still deeply annoying. Why is so many people fan of this is a mystery...
David Crosby
4/5
Huge fan of the MAN, The Byrds, CSNY were some of my first records and I listen to them again & again. Nice album overall, just fellgood as we're use with those guys.
The Sugarcubes
3/5
Another nice dig. Cool post punk stuff. Bjork voice is really nice. I will give an ear on their others albums and more related stuff
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
Fews hits, but too long. Amazing voice from one of my fav singer : Stevie Nicks, but still too long ;)
Super Furry Animals

Nice one, I'll listen to it again. Great psych + britpop :)
Joy Division
5/5
I would listen to this album over & over again. It's a shame I still didnt have it in vinyl.

4/5
Great Funk, a lot of talented artist involve in the project. Fews hits, but good overall vibe, that will put a smile on your face :)
Gang Of Four
3/5
Doesnt feel that original now, but at the time I guess they were pioneer of the punk genre. Great album, but all songs felt a bit the same. I liked it, but I'm still really attached to others bands in Punk/Post-Punk.
Coldplay
3/5
I use to be a huge fan of Coldplay, now I think they sound a bit catchy and are a bit too intense. But I would still be willing to see them in a arena show. Couple hits, the emotion arent there for me anymore...I'm getting old.
The Chemical Brothers
2/5
I understand why people did so much cocaine in the 90's...So speedy, too stressfull for me. Second half is better & slower, but meh...
Mike Ladd
3/5
Interesting gem of hip-hop. I really dont know that much of that genre, so I'm not the best judge, but I found it different than the usual 90's hiphop. It's seem like there was more research and they went to some area that suprise me. They took inspiration from jazz, rock and merge it well.
The Charlatans
2/5
Basic britpop, not very bad, neither very good
Buck Owens
3/5
Good country album, nothing special, but honnest work
CHIC
3/5
There's way better song than the one we always hear. Guitar in Savoir Faire is fire. Biggest ear worm ever = c'Est chic...
Nas
5/5
Wow, I love it so full of solid songs, but it's seem like it's mostly an album you would listen in the background in a trendy saketeshop or restaurant. Jazzy sample are really nice. Why is it the first time I listen to it from the begining to the end ???
Haircut 100
2/5
Why is it in the book...why ?

Almost fall asleep while listening to it...zzzzzzzzzz

Masterpiece, this album right after Pet Shop Boys gave me my smile back even if it's uppose to be a downer album ;)
Beck
3/5
Not my type, but I understand the hype that I could have been back in the 90's. Objectively a 3..
Ice T
2/5
Most of gangsta rap doest speak to me. Its always so far from my reality...I found that this album was just too long for what it was.
The Go-Betweens
4/5
Nice one, Ill definitively will listen again. Love the vibe
Ramones
4/5
14 times the same songs, but still nice to hear.

The Teardrop Explodes
4/5
Good blend between a lot of subgenre I like. nice discovery, will get back to it Soon
Randy Newman
3/5
"There Is a Snake in My Boot!" How can you listen to this man and not think about woody and buzz all the time. A voice that remind me so many great memories, but other than that it's not that special. Every song feel the same.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Amazing voice, such a classic album. Queen of the soul :)
Beastie Boys
4/5
I though I didnt like Beastie Boys, but I was surprise at how I knew every song and was happy to hear them. Wish I saw those guys in show.

Sabu
2/5
Good, but not enough to stand out.

4/5
Great surprise from the challenge !
Wu-Tang Clan
4/5
Not a fan of the speaking during transistion but the rest is gold, so 4+
Blur
2/5
Not bad, but pretty generic. Damon did greater song/experiment with Gorillaz
Jacques Brel
3/5
It seems like the author of this book just google french singer, then randomly click on a live album and select this one for the book. It just a basic show that was record, nothing that stand out and that really gave the credit that Brel deserve.
Sex Pistols
4/5
The roots of the punk as we know it were made here. Classic album for me.
OutKast
3/5
A lot of bangers, but too long. 35 minutes out of the 1h15 are really worth it
The Smiths

Neil Young as so many albums close to perfection, this one is slighty under some of his masterpiece, therefore it's a 4 for me. But I still enjoy it.
