This is totally terrible. The flow just isn't there and every line just seems jerkied away. A white british man whinning about his first world problems "boo hoo, my biscuit broke and got soaked in my tea, I'm sad". Ridiculous.
Yeah, it's great and all, but an hour and 45 minutes long? Hey! It's an album I want to listen to, not a movie! Who does he think he is? Stanley Kubrick? Also, people here writing reviews as long as the album. Guys, don't bother. Nobody ever reads those anyway.
Sounds like savourless rice cereals that you stare at as it gets all soaked in milk on a Monday morning's depression. How is this important in music history?
"Yeah, 8 Bowie albums is not enough for this list. We really should add The Next Day, an essential pick in Bowie's discography"
Kraftwerk really placed themselves on the avant-garde of the music of the future back then. Still sounds like the future today.
A true masterpiece, nothing less
Not a big fan of albums that exceeds an hour in length, but I got to admit it's quite the masterpiece in terms of jazz.
Not a big fan of alternative rock, but I see the potential
Is this a joke? Sounds like pretty standard stuff to me
Probably the best album to define rock at its pure form. I do not get any pleasure listening to it anymore, but I'm still going to give it the 5 stars it deserves.
It was a good album for its genre, but nothing incredible
Good old stuff, but is it really what's best from this genre, from this artist? All I'm saying is that's a lot of brass from someone who's known for his piano playing
Yes.
One of my favorite album of all time
That was not something else, but it was something pretty nice
Nope
Why do I like trip hop!?
Radiohead is, in my case, the kind of band that needs to be tamed with time. I don't think The Bends is their masterpiece, but I had a good Time listening to it.
The one I love was the only interesting song on this album. I can't believe it's on this list
I wasn't sure at the start, but it got really good in the second half. Sadly, I can't say that I don't like My Bloody Valentine anymore, thanks to you...
It's an okay album, but I probably won't listen to it ever again.
I really enjoyed this one!
I had a great time with this one! Can't wait to get their first one
I liked it, but I did not fell off my chair. I will certainly try more of Fela Kuti's material
I liked the first half and then I hated it.
I think it was my first complete listen of this album. Very nice tracks, especially California Dreamin' (of course). I'll have to make my mind whether it should be on this list or not. Let me give it a few more listens. For the other morons around here, it's more of a 3.5 stars.
My least favorite of Nick Drake's albums, but still an amazing one. He just takes folk to another level.
I never went further than Moon Safari and what a mistake. This album is quite excellent and it makes me want to watch the movie now.
I was peer pressured to give it a 4
A wonderful masterpiece. One of my favorites from master Zappa
Worst performance ever. I couldn't even finish it.
I really like the Beach Boys, but this one is not an essential for me.
I'm not a big fan of Iggy Pop's Works, but just to sound like this in 1970, it deserves a 4.
Very nice standard folk album. Nothing enough to break everything in one's path, but very enjoyable.
There are so many better oriental albums out there, I was pretty disappointed with this one. An album with more than 1 cover song, shouldn't be considered as one of the best ever made...
This must be really nice live, but I wasn't impressed by this album.
Very enjoyable synth pop.
Masterpiece of stoner rock, nothing less. Keep 'em coming!
I don't really like Pearl Jam, but nobody can deny that this album is an even flow of hits and bangers
A very good album with a lot of hits. I'm sadly just not a fan of Iggy, but I totally understand the hype. That said, I had a good time listening to it. Also, The Passenger sounds like Femme libérée.
Masterpiece, one of my favorites from Led Zep
Awesome explorations into the depths of the future. Moonshake and Spray are top tier stuff. Ideal soundtrack to eat Chef Boyardee's Raviolis to.
Boring generic pop rock stuff. I will certainly not return to this album, no Sir.
It's a good album, but I don't get how it's supposed to be an essential
Interesting album, sounds like proto Rammstein. Not sure why it's on this list, but I enjoyed it nonetheless
I understand every bit of popularity of this duo, but it juste isn't for me. There was a few hits, but I found it mostly pretty dull.
Very nice feelgood album. I would have enjoyed it more on a sunny day, but this winter crap will have to do
Very enjoyable jazz, nothing out of the extraordinary, but the perfect soundtrack for a romantic diner with a little dance as a bonus. I can't give it a full 4 though, because it ain't PROG, ya know
Too many fillers on this album. I get how popular it is and everything, but I really prefer their first albums.
Is this the best country album I've ever heard? Probably not, but this one must be in the top 10 for sure. Very nice discovery from this list (for a change).
Very nice album from my least favorite era. I definitely prefer their softest side, like shown on Milk.
Very rudimentary stuff, I almost died of boredom
Too long of an album, but some great songs in the lot.
The first half is pretty awesome but then it gets quite boring and cheesy (in a bad way). Not my favorite from the King of pop, but still very good
The british response to Men At Work's Business As Usual. Nothing that will make you go home and rethink your life, but quite enjoyable compositions. Our House is definitely the over heard hit of the album, it made me clench my fists, but the other ones were a nice discovery for me.
I expected more from this one. I liked it a lot, but it's not part of my top 5 from Bowie.
I have one question. Why is it on this list? I mean, it's not a bad album, but it's a very dull one. A full hour with the same rhythm, the same tone... And don't start me on the lyrics. A folk pop album amongst so many others of the same kind... Why this one in particular? There was so much more in the year 2020 alone... Anyway, next.
Very interesting electronic music. The mix of classical, disco and electronic is quite groundbreaking. It hads something a little bit more experimental to the electro/dance empire Daft Punk already built at that time in France
I wasn't really in the mood for funk/soul stuff, but it was good nonetheless. Nothing out of the extraordinary, though.
Very good for an easy listening album, probably the best one for a hot beverage at the local cozzy Café. It's really not a bad album, it serves its purpose, but is it really one of the 1001 albums to listen to in your life? I think there's so much more incredible stuff out there than the soundtrack to an afternoon at the local cozzy Café.
Nice country, nice voice. The lyrics weren't really my style, but it's a good album for its genre
Good album with nice riffs and rythms. I did not get a boner like Gary, but I might have enjoyed it enough to return to it again someday.
It was better than expected, but some parts I was wondering what was going on (in a bad way)
Very enjoyable album, I was very surprised by its content, giving the bad taste of the cover.
Didn't age that well, but the beats are still pretty sick. Snoop is at his best in this album and I think it should be his face on that cover. I had a good time, even if an hour of gangsta rap talking about how big their dick is can be quite long (maybe as long as their dicks, who knows?). The breaks are mostly annoying too and doesn't add anything to the album but unnecessary length. Anyway, a very important piece of rap culture nonetheless and some great hits that I'll certainly come back to.
Quite amazing indeed. I truly enjoyed this one, even if it was a little too long. It's nice to discover the original voice that defined a whole folk style. I'm going to need this one in my collection!
Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this kind of stuff this morning, but it wasn't nearly enjoyable. Not bad in any way, just not for me.
A classic Post-punk/Goth album. The vibe in this one is quite unmatched and is always a pleasure to return to.
I just love Van Morrison's profound and meaningful lyrics : "Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Dry your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye Your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye Your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye Your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye Your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye Say goodbye to Madame George And the loves that love to love that loves to love That loves to love the loves that loves to love The love that loves to love Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye"
Sunny album for a sunny day. Great folk rock bangers in this one, I really enjoyed it!
Not very good. It's like a bad 90s album but from 78.
I had one of her more recent folkish album before this one on the list and I must admit that I prefered 1989. It's full of hits, there's a certain diversity between the songs nad its quite catchy. A pretty good modern pop album that deserves its praises.
Boring folkish album. I don't get why it's on this list, but you know how Wilco fans are...
Pretty good album, I enjoyed it.
It was ok, but I prefer his work with Garfunkel.
I loved this album. Wonderful soft pop-rock that will make your day a whole lot better.
Not bad, just very dull. Why is this generic unasked blues rock album from the 90s even on this list?
Big Fallout vibes, I love this!
Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9
Now that's my kind of jazz (see what I did there?). Awesome vibes to chill to.
World music for white bourgeoisie
It was definitely too long, but some songs were enjoyable. Maggot Brain is waaaaaay better, give me this one.
This represents everything that I hate of the 90s. Can't believe I tormented myself with this one.
The movie is one if my favorites, but it doesn't change the fact that this is one of The Who's weakest albums. Some pretty nice songs and the concept is quite excellent, but there are sadly too many fillers.
Not even the best from The Doors, but still one hell of an album.
I really enjoyed this album and I have nothing more interesting to say.
Historic album, we all know the hits.
The beats were better than the other Missy album from this list, but the lyrics just completely turns me off. I don't understand how she can be on this list... Twice!
Pretty generic glam rock stuff. Not bad in any way, just emotionless and forgettable.
Awesome beats, a kind of Talking Heads with a twist of electronic music. I realy enjoyed this one.
Almost fell asleep. Not bad for a slow country album, but not my cup of whiskey.
The New Wavish songs on this album are bangers, but the other jazziest ones are pretty weak. It's a good album, just not an excellent one.
I'm really not a big fan of Arcade Fire's work, but I enjoyed this one. My favorite is The Suburbs and I quite dislike the others I've had the mischance to listen to. Anyway, glad I gave this one a chance.
Wonderful, marvelous, magnificient, sensational, outstanding! Really had a great time with this one, I must listen to them more often!
"Hey, let's make an album where we play the same two chords over and over again and put some delay in it"
Not a folk essential for me, but a very good album from a folk legend. The last 2 songs were completely unnecessary, but the rest is great.
Very good post-punk stuff and you begin to see a glimpse of what's coming for the 90s. Björk's voice and presence is just amazing.
Stevie Nicks songs are on point, the rest of the album is quite dull. How did this get so popular? The album is so full of fillers, 40 minutes MAX of the good stuff would be enough and much more enjoyable.
Not bad, but I wonder how it got on this list.
Not as incredible as their first album, but still quite amazing. I'll never get enough of Joy Division.
Good funk, but nothing memorable.
Very punkish kind of post-punk. Very enjoyable, the bass lines are very good. All the songs sounds alike, but I liked the album nonetheless.
Not as bad as I would've wanted it to be. I can begin to understand their popularity now.
Sounds like the soundtrack to a snowboard game on PS1. Whatever this is, I hated it.
I can't explain its presence on this list, but it was way more enjoyable than expected. Very unconventional hip-hop with a Midas touch of experimentations. I wouldn't say it's a must, but it was a very interesting discovery!
Not bad in any way, but pretty dull and emotionless. Anyway, I can't see why this is on this list.
Good country album, but nothing extraordinary.
A pillar in terms of disco. Very groovy, very enjoyable. Que voulez-vous, c'est chic!
Not a rap/hip-hop enthousiast, but this is top tier stuff. Very nice!
Not even 24 hours has passed and I already don't remember a single note from this album. The vibe was good, but nothing memorable and it certainly doesn't make me want to get myself a hundred haircuts.
Not awesome, but not bad either. I don't get why it's on this list, but it's a good one-timer.
Seriously, if this album came out this year, it would be considered as a joke. The best example of synth-pop that didn't age well (and I'm a big fan of synth-pop)
Exquisite. This album stands proudly in my top 20 of all time, without a doubt.
Not absolutely bad, but it was quite long and boring. It just didn't get to me, what can I say.
Good hip-hop album, some nice songs in there. Too bad it's way too long for what it has to offer.
Very forgettable, on my case. Songs are just too cheesy for my taste
Hey oh, let's go!
Yeah yeah, it's objectively a good album, but I just can't like it anymore. Please, can I just live the rest of my life without listening to Sweet Child O Mine one more time?
Boring generic classic rock. Next!
A good Elvis album, but I never was a big fan of his work. Had a good time, for what it's worth.
This sounds like Alanis Morissette, but without personnality. Whatever.
I did not like this and will not waste any more words on it.
Jazz doesn't get better than this. Not too pretentious, a nice compromise between virtuosity and listenability for the unpracticed ears.
Waaaaay too long. There's certainly some hits, but a lot of miss too. I understand why and how this is a critically acclaimed album, but I never want to go through it again
One of the best albums on this list. The canadian masters have spoken in a high pitched voice and we, mere mortals, listened with great enthousiasm.
A wonderful surprise that was! I already knew a song or two, but the whole album was a treat! Great mix of post-punk, New Wave and a little hint of neo psychedelia; a wonderful melting pot.
Wake me up when Good Old Boys ends...
Very good soul album. Not my favorite from Aretha, but her voice and style is still amazing in this record as well!
No sleep 'till I listen to some Beastie Boys!
Not an absolute masterpiece, but a very enjoyable debut that could have been a little bit shorter. I mean, the last song was very useless. Anyway, glad I took the time to listen to this.
Have I ever told you how much I adore prog?
Very nice album full of mellow songs and soft feelings. Certainly deserves its place on this list.
Every Sinatra's song sounds the same, but I love to hear that song over and over.
Great great vibes coming from this
Generic country. I don't get why there's so many country album on this list, most of them just sounds the same.
Sounds like a Nick Drake album but too well produced. It's good, but it loses the charm. Still happy to have found something I appreciate from Beck.
I'm too depressed to dance to this tropical nonsense.
Please, no more Springsteen, I beg you...
It did not age like fine wine, but the hits still stands. I'm hesitating between a 3 and a 4, but the nostalgia factor just won't let me give it less.
Minimalistic beats, but still very efficient. The lyrics are what flows the most here and I'll definitely have to listen to it again soon.
Really great arrangements, but unfortunately too long. Still had a great time with this one.
The whistle, the bongos, the off key vocals... Everything is terrible in this album. I have absolutely no idea how it got here and I honestly don't want to know.
Great jazz album. Nothing exceptional, but you can tell it's good stuff. It's a little bit too long though.
Strong album from the master of the nasal vocals. The arrangements are really great, a lot less minimalistic than his earlier stuff, and the lyrics are quite exquisite. Strong 4.
Pretty generic punk rock, makes me think of the Ramones, but less raw. Not bad, but nothing out of the extraordinary.
Very similar to Bowie in a more pessimistic kind of way. Not every songs are great in this album, but I mostly had a great time!
Great lyrics, but weak delivery. Still a very good rap album!
I was very surprised by how good this was! A great discovery that I will certainly return to often.
I love his first solo album, but this is just plain boring classic rock.
This is really really great. Post-punkish Bowie vibes that brings all the boys to the yard.
There are so many better indian albums out there than a mediocre soundtrack of a mediocre bollywood movie. "Cha cha cha" indeed.
Very good album with quite refreshing arrangements.
The cringy intermissions in rap albums is what kills it for me, but still, this shit is just an incredible timeless masterpiece.
Good songs here and there, but nothing phenomenal.
There's plenty of wonderful Brel's albums out there and they still decided to recommend a badly recorded live album of 8 of his "okay" songs. Brel is incredible, but seriously, what's wrong with list?
A pillar in terms of punk music. Not as bad as I remember, glad I'm starting to appreciate it.
Way too long of an album, but some interesting moments. A good pop rap album that I'll probably never listen to again
Magnificent album. The pillar of jangle pop and hymn of depressed young adults.
A super important album and some really great arrangements. Sadly way too overheard
Punk
Boring Hip-Pop with eye rolling rhymes. A whole hour of the same song? I'd prefer some repetitive Krautrock for the price, thank you.
Heavy metal masterpiece. It probably was my entry into metal music and it'll always be special for me.
It's okay. It did not age very well, but I understand why it got popular at the time.
Very good classic rock bluesy album. Probably my favorite from CCR. Clearly an overheard classic, but still great.
Very nice. Very nice indeed.
Wonderful album with great arrangements. 10/10 would listen again
"1001 albums to hear before you die". This list will literally kill me.
How can you have that much energy, but still be so boring?
Very good album with great vibes. One of the best from the ingenuous Beach Boys.
Interesting album. A great preview for what's to come in Nick Cave's career.
An okay album, nothing out of the ordinary and nothing memorable.
I don't get why, at some point, everyone decided Aerosmith was good? Have you heard the news? It's not.
Great feelgood album. The works behind the vocal harmonies are just insane.
Great songs with quite the depressive vibes I was hoping for the first days of October. Cohen is a true master.
Tragic.
Prog masterpiece! Not very accessible, but very rewarding!
Nothing incredible, but a good and honest album.
Great stuff. Not incredible, but I had a good time.
Not his best works, but still very enjoyable. You can say what you want, but it's still Elton
Great folk with proggy-jazz vibes that are just too good to be ignored.
A pale attempt to copy Bowie. What a dull album.
Sounds like Duran Duran, but better? They might not have hits like DD, but at least they're not mostly made of fillers.
Great voice, but boring generic jazz that get you exhausted pretty fast. "Who could ask for anything more?"
It's good, but I probably won't return to it.
Great album by a great artist. Just not my usual vibe.
A classic of the hard rock sphere. Can't help but love it!
Boring basic blues rock
What? Oh hey I'm sorry, I fell asleep
Not as bad as you'd think, but still pretty boring.
Nothing really bad, it just gets annoying really quick. Also, I tried, but I couldn't find myself.
Good modern country music. A bit long, but still enjoyable.
Masterpiece
I might be ready to die, but I sure wasn't ready to listen to this album.
80s pop perfection.
Not a big fan of Depeche Mode, but I got to admit that all the big hits are there!
Pretty standard pop punk stuff that used to plague the 90s, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Truly a groundbreaking album in the world of metal!
I remember thinking this was a good album. Oh boy, was I wrong! After an album of uncredited covers, they tried to make original stuff and it's not that good. Good thing they got better for the 3rd one (maybe because they went back to stealing other artist's music again, who knows?)
It's not a perfect album in its execution, but that's what makes it really great. That's how they felt it and that's how they released it. Deal with it.
Must have been an incredible improvement at the time. Still great today.
Probably my least favorite album from Björk, from the selection I've heard. It lacks instrumentals and is way too focused on vocals. Her voice and experiments are great, but simply not enough to sustain the whole album.
I'm not a big fan of what they do, but it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Also, it's too long.
I don't really listen to them, but it's always a treat of feelgoodness. Not their best work, but the first 2 songs are amazing.
Modern jazz fusion masterpiece.
1.When you gonna learn that it sucks 2.Too young to want to listen to this again 3.Not hooked up 4.If I don't like it, I still listen to it cause that's the point if this silly challenge 5.Music of the boredom 6.Emergency in my ears 7.Whatever it is, I just can't stop hating it 8.Won't blow your mind 9.Certainly didn't make a revolution in 1993 10. I'm out
What if Elton John did The Who's Tommy with Queen's band? That pretty much sums it up in the cheesiest way possible. Sure, Heaven can wait, but I couldn't wait for this album to end.
Really great album, probably what Bjork has best to offer.
Great and smooth album from the young Neil. Not one of my favorites from the guy, but still very enjoyable!
What a way to start a career in an interesting way and become one of the most generic classic rock band in history. Please don't name your band after a city.
A really great discovery for me. I still have much to discover from Neil's discography, but this one is clearly one of my favorites yet.
Another nice discovery in the world of hip-hop. The album is quite long, but doesn't get annoying or boring. That's worth a 4 stars to me!
A really good album, but it lacks the psychedelic wonders of their previous works. More focused on blues, it's not as much my cup of tea. That said, it's still a must!
It's good, but I don't seem to care very much for it. Still a "good to know" discovery.
Once in a lifetime, you may find yourself listening to this album. I hope you do.
God that was painful. Endless brainless album that I never want to listen again. Once was way enough and I even had to do it in two sittings.
Pretty good, I enjoyed this one! Not anything to shove you out of your chair, but still good stuff.
Pretty amazing for the time it was recorded, but with today's ears, there's nothing absolutely wonderful about this. Still had a great time!
Surrealistic masterpiece.
This album is so great, Jeff has such a wonderful voice and the melodies blends this all in a musical bliss.
The first and the last songs were good on this. The rest was pretty boring and almost unbearable.
Boring gangsta rap with gunshot and police sirens samples.
Pretty dull 90s pop rock.
One of my favorite punk bands!
It's not that it's especially bad. I just can't stand it, mostly because of the singer's annoying voice and the cringy effects he tries to make with it. The only thing I enjoyed was the bass.
The songs are mostly really great. Like, really really great. But they're just too short and I don't have time to really appreciate them. Also, 43 songs? Guys, you got to make choices in life, cut this shit in half. Still, great songs and great musicianship, but way too long of an album to truly enjoy it.
Not my kind of music, but still a very interesting pop album. Quite refreshing and out of the ordinary.
Not bad, but pretty generic brit pop with some "fancy" arrangements. Had an ok time, but I don't think it will cross my ear canal any time soon.
Great voice, too bad I fell asleep.
Post punk masterpiece.
Red House Painters for women.
I'm usually a Sinatra enjoyer, but this one was pretty dull.
Outstanding album. Must have been quite the blast when it came out and the best was yet to come.
There's too much joy in this. I prefer sad Christmas music and crooner vibes.
They told me to give this album a 4 and I did what they told me.
Shebop shebop
Je ne t'aime plus
Perfect music to make dinner to
This really sucks in the most generic way.
Not my kind of music, but it was objectively good.
Some great songs in this, but mostly unequal. There's a lot of fillers, in my opinion. Therefore, the album should have been shorter.
The arrangements are nice, but the mumbling guy just turns me off.
Where it might have all begin for the progressive genre. I'm not a big fan of KC's entire discography, but this one is quite the masterpiece. Classical music for hippies.
Good songs here and there, but as usual with the Stones, they just can't get their combined minds to make a decent album from start to finish.
Grunge usually sucks, but this is one of the tolerable acts of the genre.
Just because it's their most commercial album doesn't mean it's their best.
Started nicely, but it got more and more annoying. Too bad.
I never realized Jack Johnson knew jazz chords.
Say no to bongos, kids.
I'm the guy on the right
It was ok.
Should be played in 2x speed to be at least a little bit interesting.
Uneventful pastoral country folk that will make you pray for it to stop.
A pillar of the Trash Metal genre. Makes me glad Mustaine left Metallica
Great vocals, great vibes, but I don't think I'll ever feel the need to return to this one.
Yeah it's alright.
Boring music for boring people.
Geniuses at the top of their game
Great musicianship and awesome collection of riffs for 1966.
Truth is, it's not very good for how "big" this is supposed to be
A true game changer in the 90s hip-hop scene.
Free Bird and a collection of songs from 'MURICA
James Brown but without all the yelling.
Now THAT is what I call a masterpiece. Never get tired of some good ol' Pink Floyd.
Pretty cool, but have you heard of their other albums?
Quit your bawling and go back to work.
Don't know what it's doing on this list, but still a very refreshing experience compared to all the boomer rock bullcrap contained in here.
Relax, don't listen to this.
Pretty useless album that's just too generic to be on this list, really.
Probably the Muse album that I listened to the most. Not gonna lie, it just doesn't hit like it used to. Is it just me or Muse is just my generation's U2? Anyway, it's not bad, it just didn't age that well.
This album would never be on this list if it wasn't for Tainted Love. There's so many greater New Wave albums out there than this, but hey, "let's just get all the one hit wonders and make those idiots listen to the rest of their mediocre albums". Anyway, it's not all that bad, but it really just sounds like an underground new wave project (like so many at the time). I really enjoy these, but would never call them a masterpiece or one of the 1001 best albums of all time.
It's like nothing ever happens on this album. Not bad or anything. In fact, not anything at all.
Great New Wave album that makes me think of early Men Without Hats stuff. Don't know how it got on this list, but was glad to hear it.
I found this one pretty boring. I really don't get the excitement over this one, but oh well.
Sounds like early Billy Talent's projet Pezz, minus the innovation. Not bad, just not very interesting to my ears.
Forgettable, but still pretty good.
I really enjoyed the jazz accent on this one. Still, maybe a little too long and it got boring in the end.
Probably the most awkward thing I've heard on this list
Good pop, but it gets old real quick. It's just not my kind. That said, it's a strong first album.
I think that the term "generic" was invented for these guys. I'll give it a 2 just because they had the decency to leave it at a short 29 minutes.
The first song didn't convince me, but it got good real quick after that. Great jazz!
I rarely enjoy the music from the 90s and this one does not differ. I still had an okay time with this one, especially the jazzy "5-4=Unity". It's still pretty much a product of its time, just like countless others.
Some good moments, but they don't overcome the bad ones.
Great stuff, but I would have prefered the studio versions.
Well, that was boring.
This guy needs help.
No emotions, no stars.
This really sucks. How is this on this list?
Hey pretty good for a band made out of fuzz pedals.
Nothing really bad, but just completely boring
Yeah it's good, but I don't see how he's supposed to be a legend.
Such a nice feelgood album. Will certainly return to this one.
This isn't even one of the 1001 best country albums.
"hey what do you think of this chords?" *Plays it for 3 minutes* "Yup. Let's call this a song"
50s music for the nostalgic pre-boomers of the 70s.
This is so depressing, but not in a fun way. They're clearly just friends with the guy who made the list, otherwise it wouldn't be here.
Understandable, have a good day.
I have no idea how it got on this list, but it's pretty good stuff nonetheless. Sounds like an acoustic version of Cage the Elephant.
Gospel for depressed people.
Not a big fan of reggae, but it still deserves its place on this list.
It's interesting, but that's gonna be a no from me.
In my experience, that's when Radiohead really started to get interesting.
Psychedelic guitars go "boing boing"
I've seen worse generic stuff on this list. Yeah, this one is alright.
Some hits here and there, but I just don't get how this could be one of the best albums of all time.
Great imaginative glam/art rock. This one really surprised me!
Sounds like savourless rice cereals that you stare at as it gets all soaked in milk on a Monday morning's depression. How is this important in music history?
Music for the mentally unstable.
Boring unimaginative blues rock
One B&S was pretty far fetched for this list, but a second one, really? It's not bad, but there's just really nothing incredible in there
I never thought it could be possible for an electronic album to be so boring.
God I hate the Stones.
It wouldn't be so bad if Courtney was on key from time to time
Yeah it's alright, but grunge just didn't age very well in general, people have to start to admit it.
Boring funk that doesn't leave a crease on your shirt.
The beginning of a great adventure!
The title song was pretty boring, but I enjoyed the rest
Ah yes, trash metal.
So much quirkiness in this band, I love it.
Boomer's anthem. "Look how fast he plays, it must be good!". Yeah, it's alright, but will probably fade with time.
Not their best work, in my opinion, but a pretty good album nonetheless. The lo-fi touch is also pretty interesting for the era.
This is totally terrible. The flow just isn't there and every line just seems jerkied away. A white british man whinning about his first world problems "boo hoo, my biscuit broke and got soaked in my tea, I'm sad". Ridiculous.
Terribly boring, uneventful and uninteresting.
Great modern rap album. I really should take some time to read the lyrics.
The Smiths are always good, but still kind of overrated. This one might be my least favorite (but still good nonetheless).
That girl on the cover made me believe it would be good. Turns out it's not.
When you put on the Lion King, but only the audio works.
Hey that's pretty good for a noise punk/rock band!
Yeah, it's great and all, but an hour and 45 minutes long? Hey! It's an album I want to listen to, not a movie! Who does he think he is? Stanley Kubrick? Also, people here writing reviews as long as the album. Guys, don't bother. Nobody ever reads those anyway.
Those bass lines tho.
Stands for a really great feelgood album. Just not my kind of feelgood. Well executed nonetheless.
What is this?
It's punk, it's rock, it's new wave... What is there to hate?
It's clear that McCartney's clone could write some pretty decent songs too!
*Your call is important for us. Please, hold the line. Someone will be with you shortly*
The New Wave genre already started to drag in 1983, and it shows.
I'm kind of angry because I didn't expect this to be good. The lyrics sucks, but the beats are dope!
The Thriller, Beat It and Billie Jean streak is just unbeatable in terms of pop songs. It's all getting kind of old, but it's still a great album.
I'm not the biggest fan of The Flaming Lips, but this one just doesn't miss. The mix is flawless and the instrumentals just gets through your soul without any effort.
Ah yes, a long forgotten time when punk rock was still good.
Good single guitar/voice folk in its most traditional way. Not bad at all, but gets pretty tiredsome in the end.
Not especially bad, just too generic british 80s pop.
My back hurts just listening to this.
Great modern pop!
Just as fun and original as playing with dominoes.
Good thing it was just 15 minutes.
Surprisingly ok. There might be one good Blur album out there after all!
Disco
One of the great Bowie's albums, but still far from his Berlin's trilogy.
Day 344 of my explorations in the (not so deep) depths of so called "good music". I have now fully joined the priests of the Temples of Syrinx, operating computers and holding the gifts of life. That's a good one. A masterpiece that did put Rush on the map and guess what? The following albums are even better!
Nope.
The Beatles for people who can't afford The Beatles.
Could have easily been the most boring album ever made, but they keep adding a twist when I start to get bored. It's a good one, but not their best.
If that's not a masterpiece, I don't know what is.
Much better than I remember. Could this be punk rock at its peak?
Could this be the best 50s album? This rocks so much!
"Hey let's put some generic blues scales over badly recorded sessions and yell over it". Don't get me wrong, I usually love some good ol' Young, but this one just doesn't work for me.
Nothing bad, but very forgettable.
I swear I didn't have a hairy back before listening to this!
A great discovery!
Not bad at all!
Very generic "I used to be in a great band" kind of music.
Pretty good standard 60s folkish rock, made mainly popular because of Dylan's writing.
Surprisingly not that bad! I won't return to it, but I didn't dislike it.
Probably their best work. A masterclass in the classic hard rock field!
I was very surprised by how good this was. I'll certainly return to this one!
Get used to the face expression on the cover, because that's the one you'll be having for the next hour and 11 minutes.
It just feels like they were given access to a studio while on shrooms and started to rap stuff, hitting a peak where no one really knew what was going on, but not in a good way. Anyway, that's not for me.
A legend playing Country music in a prison in Western America. Speaking to the prisoners like they're good friends he haven't seen in a while, telling jokes, messin' around... Now that's what I call Country!
In my top 3 of Radiohead's great discography. A masterpiece.
Just not my kind of pop
Takes away my soul just like Mephisto would.
What was that? Did they leave their mentally disabled cousin alone with the list?
I'm not a big fan of Janis's vocals, but the album wasn't bad at all, especially the side B.
The greatest names of folk rock in one album. What more do you want?
Not as good as their first, but still pretty nice. The guitar works and the emblematic vocals really does it for me!
Sounds like if Zimos from Saints Row made an album. Terrible.
My third Joni of the challenge, only one left... It's nothing atrocious about her music, it's just boring as hell. She still deserves a 3 from me, but these are stars of influence in the music universe, not for my appreciation.
There's not really any "big hits" on this, but one must admit that it's just consistently good.
Nick Drake for amphetamine users
Folk music has so much more to offer than this.
The energy is great, but the songs? Not that much.
Nothing atrocious, but pretty much dull and uneventfull british indie pop. I don't see how this is supposed to be one of fhe best albums ever. Also, they shouldn't let the guy "sing" on this.
R.E.M. is one of those band that I never understood their fame. It's nothing bad, but also nothing incredible that sticks with you.
Really great and mellow jazz with a little touch of magic.
Pour some Cream on me, in the name of love!
Meh. Pretty much the same song stretched on a whole hour.
Yet another boring pop rock album...
Never was a big fan of the "King", but this one truly is a collection of some of his best works
Not as noisy as I expected, but not really my "cup of tea" in term of everyday music either. I largely prefer out of tune saxophones throwing themselves on the walls than out of tune guitars on 8 different fuzz pedals.
Hey, it's not Mesmerize or Toxicity, but it's still f@cking great! So intense, so weird, so unique! They deserve more than just one album in this list, that's for sure.
Pretty great dance punk with simple, but efficient beats!
That was another Morrissey album, I guess
I sure don't fear a Black Planet now.
Surprises just like a couple of ice cubes in the back.
So great for 1969. I rarely listen to them, but everytime I do, it's a blast!
One of my favorites from the Boomers Classics' catalog. Also one of the best from Led Zep!
Wow! Yes! Now you're talking!
I think I'm in love with Neil Young.
An almost flawless offering from the nasal-voice master in person!
I never have too much of the Electric Prunes!
Oh well, I guess that was a Tim Buckley album?
Always thought this one was a little overrated. Still think it is, but it doesn't stop it from being really great anyway!
Not as good as San Quentin, but still pretty nice
It was alright, but you don't get more "saturday radio" friendly than this.
A classic for the denim and leather enjoyers of this world! My ears smells like beer, sweat and motor oil after listening to this.
When you're out of ideas for your list and you need to find some fillers, but all you know are american and british pop rock bands that used to play on the radio some time in the 80s or 90s... Seriously, this sounds like if Johnny Marr joined Echo & the Bunnymen, but it doesn't sound as good as it should.
The beginning of great things to come! Nothing like Powerslave or Number of the Beast, but still some great bangers in there!
Pretty much overrated, but a great album nonetheless!
Much better than I remember. I'll need to listen to this more often.
This album is perfect if you feel like listening to a woman yelling in a fan.
Stoned man singing about how much he loves weed. Ozzy did it better.
It's alright, but clearly not their best work.
Post-punk doesn't get better than this
Music for guys that wears a fedora.
Good soundtrack, I'll certainly watch the movie!
Not as good as I hoped it would be. I'm gonna need a doggy bag for this shit (alright, it's not that bad)
One of my favorites from Eno. Expérimental, yet very accessible. I just love this.
The perfect example of mainstream indie rock with a hint of post punk done right!
I fell asleep.
I'm a big fan of goth rock, coldwave, etc., but I never really got into Sisters of Mercy. The idea is great, but the 80s synth vibe just sticks the band to their time and didn't age as good as Bauhaus did, for example.
Pretty good, but nothing that really hooks me into coming back to it.
Music for skinheads to do speed to while they consider their music taste to be peculiar.
This album is so much fun!!
''Your mother listens to Mike Oldfield in Hell!''
AHOY MATEY!
Pretty generic blend of rock that you forget as you hear it. To me, at some moments, it felt like a Wish version of Neil Young.
They be like "let me show you how I would have done your song" and get famous without giving them credit. Still one hell of an album!
Meh. I found it pretty dull.
Woman yelling over great music.
Probably the album that I enjoyed the most from SY's discography. The only problem with this one is the cringy vocals from time to time, but hey, that's punk I guess.
I respect its uniqueness, but that wasn't really my kind.
I know it's supposed to be good and all, but I never seem to enjoy their material, except for The Suburbs that sounds a lot like a watered down version of QotSA.
Sounds like Muse defined their whole personality on this album. They still never managed to top this.
That was alright, but nothing new under the sun.
One of my favorites from the Post-Punk genre. MY NEW HOOOUUUSE
Nothing amazing here, but clearly out of the lot for '68.
I could listen to this album over again and again and again and again and again...
Experimentations into the Land of Pop. This album feels like a weird dream. Love it.
The psychedelic vibes were pretty enjoyable, but still a generic british album from the beginning of the Century. Should it really be on this list? You already know the answer.
It's good for a moment, and then you realize it's 50 minutes long and you still have a lot of it left.
Blues
This dick ain't free!
Sounds like Peter Gabriel on Valium. Pretty cool and interesting take!
This is the kind of album that makes me question why I do this.
I can certainly leave this album behind
What the hell is this??
The "I listen to everything" kind of people are crying in a corner right now.
Does anyone really feels the need to listen to this? I really doubt it.
Me : Mom, can we have Grizzly Bear? Mom : We have Grizzly Bear at home. Grizzly Bear at home :
Great jams, great album, great world, great ghetto.
''Oh well, The Beatles are done. Let's get all my unreleased b-sides together, release that on a 3-LP boxset and forget how to make music after that''
People yelling at a concert.
This one really isn't necessary on this list.
Classic 60's soul album, like so many. Doesn't stand out from others.
Interesting, but this sounds very dated.
I fell asleep, face first on my cold spaghetti plate at the local restaurant on an uncrowded Wednesday. It seems the waiter also fell asleep, since I only woke up the following morning.
yOu'Re My WoNdErWaAaAaAaLL
Innovation doesn't always show up dressed in white satin.
When the cowboy gets tired of booze and starts getting into meth.
Pretty dull album for such a powerful voice.
Was very surprised by how good this is. There's some great ideas in there, but I would've enjoyed it more if the songs we a little longer.
When I was bored for the 7th time
It's not a bad album, but it's not very eventful. Nothing really stands out and every song is quickly forgotten.
Couldn't care less for this album, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Great film score. I'll certainly put the movie on my watchlist!
Hey that's pretty good! This album is like trying to milk a cow on coke and ending up depressed for the rest of the day.
Very forgettable indie rock with a touch of blues and a fuzz pedal to create some "edgy" moments. Pretty dull in general.
Generic rock with a hint of blues. I never understood how this guy got so popular.
I little bit too stuck in its time for my taste, but nothing bad either.
Hey this sucks, but quite innovative for 1969.
I could not believe how much boring that was. I really like Mezzanine and Blue Lines, but this? This is pathetic.
I don't feel "slayed", but this was a very energized record. Must have been cool at the time, but today it pretty much feels like a generic rock album.
I really dislike grunge and alternative rock from the 90s. Some songs weren't that bad, but it didn't move me in general.
"Listen, you can hear the energy!". Yeah, I can mostly hear the songs he stole from black musicians, that's for sure.
Certainly her best album. I really enjoyed it, compared to her more "grungy" approach.
Side B was much better than side A, in my opinion. Still a great album from Master Lennon.
Much better than her debut album, but it still feels quite lenghty.
Listening to this during a snowstorm was pretty absurd, but still pretty good overall.
Great breakup album, but I guess I just don't like music when I'm having sex.
Not really my kind of psychedelic rock
Meh. Uneventful east coast rap.
Okay, so there's no Phil Collins on this list, but there's this album? What a joke.
An album really stuck in its time and a quite boring one at that.
As a fan of New Wave and Synthpop, I'm surprised that I didn't know this one. Pretty good, haunting voice on clever instrumentals. Sounds like an Echo & the Bunnymen record, but less flamboyant.
Man moaning in a microphone on top of untuned guitars.
Music for adults that weren't loved enough as kids. Gourmet version of Five Finger Death Punch.
Metallica : "You'll never be better than us!" Mustaine : "Hold my beer"
I get her cultural importance, but her voice just doesn't work on me. Here's some cultural weight points.
A great Art pop classic, hit after hit. Peter's response to Genesis's evolution into pop music.
A good folk album, great arrangements for 67, but nothing incredible that would make me eat my hat.
All their other albums, I'd understand, but this? This was just placed here because the guys who made the list don't know anything about music passed 2001. What a shame.
I was very surprised to find this one on this list, but hey! I'm not going to complain. A really great album from a really great band. Moon in June is just incredible and makes me crave for some more. I understand that this album might scare a lot of people, but I swear it's quite the journey!
Surprise! You're worth 3 stars!
Pretty generic to me, but nothing really bad either.
Oh boy was that not very enjoyable.
God damn did that suck. How did we survive culturally through the beginning of the Century with music like this all over the radio? Seriously, there's only one "good" song on this.
God I hate RHCP. The only thing that saves them from a 1 is their undeniable musicianship. The singer should be out there flipping burgers for all I care. Also, what the hell are these lyrics??
The title song and some fillers. Seriously, there's nothing great to this album but the energy it bursts.
If Airports were a spa brand.
If I didn't know better, this list would lead me to the conclusion that electronic music sucks.
Hey, after all, it's Queen. Still not their best.
It doesn't matter how many big names you put on the cover, nobody cares about this.
Love the opportunity to hear this classic for the first time. Great stuff!
Good album, but he would come up with much better material in his solo career in the future.
Great album and one of the best things the 80s has to offer!
Sounds like Bruce Springsteen, but with reverb.
You know your band sucks when you write songs like "Ain't nothing like a Gang Bang" and repeat it for 5 minutes.
I swear I used to hate King Crimson, even tough I'm a die hard prog fan. With time I got used to their particular sound and I can even say they've now found a friend in me. Great album, less noisy and messy that I used to believe it was.
Monumental album, I get it, but it doesn't reach me in that way.
Sounds like a laziest, but more focused on rock Psychedelic Furs. Not bad at all!
Not my favorite of the psychedelic movement, but very much ahead of its time!
I wouldn't hire Nico as a motivational speaker, but I sure wouldn't mind her writing an album for me!
The cover looks like it came out of a PS1 cowboys game. 10/10
A classic of the classics. I always have a good time with this album.
Pretty enjoyable album but unequal from start to finish. Would still recommend.
The guys behind this list really doesn't know shit about music after 1999.
3 hours of half-baked demos. How is this... No. You know what? Nevermind.
One of her most boring work, in my opinion.
A great example of how music today doesn't suck compared to music before. Now that's what I call an album!
In my opinion, the only band that gets close to the psychedelic masterpiece the Beatles were.
My, my, hey, hey, that's pretty good!
This is one of the worst album I've ever heard of my life. Not only it was boring, but also annoying, out of place and made with bad taste. What the hell? I can't believe this album was actually made. Lame jazz meets unpleasant pop with their friend, the uncomfortable rap song. Seriously, I can't believe at what I just listened.
Interestingly weird noir soundtrack, but nothing that made me lose my suspenders.
I don't know what's with The Fall, but I just love them!
I was expecting some experimental avant-garde metal prog, but I find myself very disappointed.
"Okay, let's add some international artists on this list'' *Adds one of the most boring album from a great Senegal artist* I can't do this anymore.
I wouldn't have added it to this list, but it wasn't a bad listen either.
The last good Slipknot album, but probably the weakest of their firsts. Still one hell of a ride!
I really don't find anything appealing to punk rock.
The only good U2 album.
Meh. Nothing to see here, move along.
This was better than I expected!
Such a feelgood album. I don't know if it's the album cover or the songs simplicity, but I find this album very honest and often enjoyable.
Kraftwerk really placed themselves on the avant-garde of the music of the future back then. Still sounds like the future today.
I rarely want to hear Cohen's stuff from my own initiative, but it's always pretty good, especially his early material.
This album-album-album-album was bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-ring
Heeeey look at meee I'm Bob Dylaaaaaaaan (!!!)
Very good, but also very bland. I don't know what to think of this album.
Superstition and other good, but forgettable songs.
I understand it's a grieving album, but that was really boring.
Such a great way to tell the world you're the best Beatles.
Yeah that's Elvis after all.
German guy yelling and bagging on metallic structures while another guy does welding in an abandoned factory. This album should be the last on the list since people could die from listening to it.
I'm gonna need someone to explain to me how this made the list. What is this guy bawling about?
Meh. It's alright.
Old man talking about old man stuff.
Help
The title song was alright, but the rest was just bad studio decisions over bad studio decisions.
Generic smooth jazz, but good stuff anyway.
Really great debut and one of my favorites from her discography.
I rarely take the time to listen to them, but I'm always having a good time when I do.
I just wanna hear a good beat and this album does not deliver. Zoo-Wa.
Just because your album has an hour long concept doesn't make it less boring.
Hey not bad! I wonder where's the Alpha Band at with their Hot Shots I?
It's not because you call your genre "art rock" that it's necessarily good.
I guess I have no sense of humor.
Pretty generic soft punk stuff. Post-hardcore? I don't know about that.
One of the reason why most people thinks country music sucks
I was never meant to be a sailor.
Better than Screamadelica, in my opinion. Still not very good.
With that kind of album cover, I expected a more experimental approach to the New Wave phenomena. Instead I was faced to boring Art Pop that didn't age that well.
Nope. I didn't find anything moving on this album.
I'll give this one a single star, because I can't believe it's on this list. I mean, how is it even possible?
Probably the SY album that I enjoyed the most. Still got a headache at the half of it.
Kevin Rowland is a genius. Instead of just writing shitty songs, he wrote long shitty songs
The Beatles were always good, but that's when they really started to be great.
The only album from Prince that I can really stand.
I love ELP, but to add this album on this list is just dumb. It's far behind on the list of their best works imo.
Generic blues folk. Nothing bad, but nothing to make me stare at the ceiling in awe.
Bland. So bland it makes nature yogourt and unleavened hosts a really tasty meal.
More of a "vibe" album than a "composition" album. Good stuff!
Quirky album, but not as clever as they think they are with it.
I never got Iggy's works, but maybe someday I will.
I never got the point of noise rock, but it's really the sloppy vocals that killed it for me.
Generic 60s psych, but good vibes comes from it nonetheless!
I did not expect that album to be THAT boring.
Scott Walker is the strongest man in the world.
Take On Me is one of the greatest songs ever written and the rest is pretty good too. Love me some a-ha! Benny Harvey RIP
The only Morrissey album that's worth anything. I still would'nt put it on this list.
Blues is the greatest scam in music history. Playing the same damn song over and over again, with slight variations from a musician to another.
Boring country pop-rock
Enjoyable album, but nothing near a masterpiece either. Had a good time.
Great songs that keeps hitting and hitting. Very good stuff, but a little too pop for my taste.
A little deeper? If I knew what I was getting into, I would've stayed on the surface.
Is this the worst New Wave album I've ever heard? Goddamn...
That guy was great 'till the end. An artist to the core.
3.14159265359 but in the imperial system, I don't know.
True magic.
You know the feeling when you're just trying too hard to prove you can do something, but everyone knows you can do it, they just doesn't care. This album embodies this feeling perfectly.
There are great arabic artists and albums out there and they still found a way to add this crap to the list. Incredible.
The original Beastie Boys.
Not their best, but hey. I'm not going to let a goth rock album rot here.
That was alright. Music to sip daiquiris to.
Clearly one of the most interesting albums of its time! With Zappa's first album with the Mothers, it appears the flowers already started to fade in the second half of the 60s.
I freaking love this band and this album is really great too, but still, I must insist on the fact that the only album essential to this list is Ocean Rain.
Cheer up, dude.
I really have no idea how this got here. Inoffensive indie pop that doesn't bring much to the table.
I didn't expect to find this here, but I'm quite delighted. An alien in terms of 2006 releases and justly one of the most important.
This album was so dull I sold my pickup truck and got an office job instead.
A little bit of Dylan in my life A little bit of Dylan by my side A little bit of Dylan's all I need A little bit of Dylan's what I see A little bit of Dylan in the sun A little bit of Dylan all night long A little bit of Dylan, here I am
Ah yes, Yes. Say yes to Yes. Be a Yes Man.
Gary Numan is a genius.
I really don't get how good this is supposed to be. Anyway, here's another wasted hour.
"This is hell, this is hell I am sorry to tell you It never gets better or worse"
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAH BOIIIIIIIIIIIII
There's a first time to everything, and well... It's good, but I fail to see how this is supposed to be legendary. A 40 minutes album would have been enough also.
What a waste of resources.
I really like The Fall, but this album is far from essential.
Her best album, but I still don't get it.
Never heard of this before and I would have been happy if I never had to listen to it in my lifetime. Oh well.
A sound that I prefer to Psychocandy, but not a band that I idolize in the genre.
Imagine releasing something that sounds almost a decade too late in 1967; the year that the musical revolution in all its diversification truly began. I'd never release anything ever again if that was me.
A great mix of jangle kind of pop and psychedelic music. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did!
This had (and still has) a huge impact in music. An essential, of course, but not really my favorite band from the genre.
Pretty good electronic psych rock album, but I really don't get how it's supposed to appear on this list. At this point, many more albums made a much bigger impression in the psychedelic rock universe : King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Thee Oh Sees... Hell, even Tame Impala isn't on this list. Are you guys just adding album that won a prize? Because time proves that a prize doesn't make an album a cult one. Just hire somebody else to update the book if you can't keep up.
Dylan, if he ate potatoes.
A little bit too long, but left quite the mark in its time.
I love the first albums of New Order, but at this point they really changed their sound to fit more into the nightclub scene of the time and I don't enjoy it as much as their early releases.
Probably his best work. Great all the way!
No more Elvis Costello. Please, I beg you...
Top jazz right here!
Great album that I appreciate more and more after every listen.
Great pure rock stuff that brings me back to my GTA years.
This album makes me want to eat a single toast with friends.
Finally something decent from this guy!
Never really understood the hype around this band. Pretty standard "not that good" americana to me. Oh well...
Damn. These guys sucks!
Better than the other one, but still not so good of an album. I don't get the hype around this guy.
"White people can't rap" Kid Rock, drunk as fuck : "Oh YeEeAaAh?! HoLd My BeEeEeEr!"
I had a good time, but I already forgot most of the songs. Good stuff nonetheless.
Generic 90s alternative rock
I was very surprised by this one, very good stuff!
I didn't expect to find this album on this list and I wouldn't have added it either.
Is it just me or MJ just isn't as good as people say? I mean, I like a couple of songs, but this album, except a few hits, is quite bad (pun intended).
Kurt is really Grunge's golden boy. Not as flamboyant as Nevermind, but what a ride!
I think this is my favorite album from Kraftwerk. So unique! This is the music you get when you turn on the radio on the highway to the land of dreams!
Radio music for a brainless commute.
I hear a little of what the Dead Kennedys are going to sound, but nothing nearly as good.
My favorite from Bowie's wide discography. There's an exceptionnal feel to it and a hint of electronic experimentations on side B. I just love it!
Queen certainly has its place here, but I always find them a tad overrated. Pretty good nonetheless.
I expected more from this, but the last couple of songs were cool.
Good album, but her first one is much better.
I really don't get how this got on this list, but hey, it's pretty good!
Good debut, but they would do so much better in the future.
How much Britpop is too much Britpop? Listen to every goddamn Britpop album ever made on this list and find out!
Quite boring indeed.
One of what I call the USA's anthem bands and probably their most accomplished.
The kind of album that makes you want to end it all.
Sounds like if Peter Gabriel was the frontman of Radiohead... But it's really not as good as you'd think it would sound.
The album that made them legends, but even after a couple of listens, I can't find myself loving it to no end.
I never really got how good people think this band is.
Songs of love and heartbreak. We really don't have enough of those.
It's alright, but I've never been a fan of their sound.
A flavour of the moment that quickly faded into oblivion. How is this important in music history?
This is trash (literally)
How can a drum n bass album be so boring??
This isn't an essential listen. There should be at disclaimer at the beginning of this list to warn people that their ears are going to get relentlessly raped by ceaseless brit pop crap that nobody cares about.
It's crazy how these guys sucks individually, but together they make such magic they could cure world hunger.
I'm really not a fan of reggae, but it's a really well made album.
I would also lose my mind if I made this album.
I'm usually not into punk, but this album was pretty good!
Big Black > Sonic Youth
Was expecting much more from a psychedelic folk album. Nothing bad nonetheless, but the country songs clearly weighs it down (pun intended).
And here I thought there was nothing worst than The Rolling Stones...
Better than The Slider, but I still really don't get the hype around this guy.
God was that dull.
Good electronic album with some psychedelic vibes. Pretty nice!
What the hell was that?
I honestly think that you need to be going bald to like this band.
I remember the radio playing some of these songs non-stop between 95-05. Couldn't stand it then, still don't enjoy them more today. I also remember that it was mostly enjoyed by the outdoors enthousiasts of that time, to which I couldn't relate less.
How can someone come up with this in 1978?? This shit is wild! Seriously, I have no idea how it got on this list, but I'll take it!
I can't believe I had to listen to an hour and a half of this crap.
One of her albums was already far fetched for this list, but two???
I once wondered if I would enjoy Tom Wait's music. I don't.
Not bad for a self made album. Probably one of the most bland rock band ever, but their first two albums are listenable.
It's so inoffensive that if you tell me Stevie Wonder used to beat people up in bars, I wouldn't believe you.
All the ladies go crazy when I tell them I got this on vinyl.
This guy clearly didn't shoot the sheriff.
I'm a big fan of psychedelic rock, but this just sucks. It's so empty and yet full of sounds I've also heard before, but in a dull way I've never wished to hear. All hype, no fun. I guess I should call them the Oasis of psychedelia.
The most soft and mellow hip-hop album I've ever heard. No, it's not a compliment.
I love The Who, but this isn't one of their essentials imo.
"The 1001 albums..." *Puts an EP in it*
Crab People. Crab People. Taste like crab, talk like people.
Can't stand this bland commercial type of R&B. The guy is clearly talented, but I really don't see how he found himself on this list.
Not so great, but listenable.
Blues rock... Yanowatimean
This list is going to kill me.
Another mess from the Rotting Stones. I can't believe these guys are supposed to be legends with songs like these.
Come on. Nobody remembers this. Make some room for something that's really worth something and beat the test of time.
Can Downtempo make you angry? Turn this on and find out!
Imagine hearing this in 1964. This album could've raised the dead if it was possible.
I couldn't care less for this kind of rock album. Nothing bad, but it sounds just so generic that I don't feel engaged to it in any way.
Nothing really bad, but so outdated it hurts.
Great album that deserves its place here, unlike most of the shit I've had the last 2 weeks here.
It's alright, but is it really that important in music history?
It's not bad per se, but there's no freakin' way this should be on this list.
Good debut! Much better than his recent stuff, in my opinion.
Me : Mom, can we have The Dead Kennedys? Mom : We already have The Dead Kennedys at home. The Dead Kennedys at home :
I made myself a cocktail even though it's 7 in the morning.
This album left such a mark on an entire generation and continues to do so even today. Have you seen the movie? It's a must!
Not the kind of stuff I like to listen often, but at least this one deserves a place on this list.
Seriously? What the hell is this?
Probably the only tolerable Slacker Rock band out there.
I usually enjoy the Duke a lot, but if I was at that show, I'm pretty sure I would've slept through it.
I'm not sure I would've added this album to the list, but it was quite refreshing!
For 1972, this is pretty ahead of its time. Side A is much better than side B anyhow
I'm not a big Soul enjoyer, but that sounds pretty generic to me. Anyway, what do I know.
I now have the certainty that this list is an elaborate joke.
Nothing bad for the style, but I can't see how it can be of interest on this list.
When you buy a Flaming Lips record from Wish.
I never really got how popular these guys are, but it's still a good listen.
She truly have a great voice, but the rest just falls flat. The album is also too long for what it has to offer.
I didn't expect much, but it's a pretty decent album.
One of the finest album I've ever heard and it just gets better and better. I could listen to this everyday for the rest of my life.
The punkiest glam rock band ever to touch the Earth. This album earned its place here for its huge influence on the music to come, but glam rock just isn't my thing.
Smooth jazz-funk soul album, but it feels more like background music rather than a groundbreaking album.
''I too could make club classics, check it out!" *Proceeds to write the dumbest tracks you've ever heard*
One of the most innofensive rap album I've heard. Good tracks, but nothing's really awesome either.
I'm not a big fan of bluegrass, but anyone would go crazy after 2 hours of it.
Love me some peaches!
This list ain't big enough for the both of us.
Maybe the best dumb electro-ish album on this list. Still pretty dull.
I was expecting something special, but somehow I got some generic 70s crap. Oh well
I guess you had to be there.
I am the robot.
Consistently good, even if a bit long.
The Enjoyable, The Tolerable & The Listenable.
Musically pretty good, but the vocal arrangements and the singer's voice are just awful. Anyway, let's be honest here. Even with a good singer and lyricist, this shouldn't belong anywhere near this list.
I understand that he's got quite the name for himself, but his music just isn't essential to anyone.
The limpest Hip-Hop album ever made? The beats are alright, but the delivery just doesn't have any strength to it.
Almost an hour of dumb blues solos.
Slipknot in the jungle.
It gets better in the end, but I would've asked for a refund if I went to that show.
A waste of time.
One of the best rock albums of all time. We're all tired of hearing it, but it can still wear the crown for all I'm concerned.
One of the most powerful and poignant atmospheric rock album you'll ever encounter. Wonderful melancholic arrangements - a beacon for all lost souls.
Iconic album by an iconic duo. Love the conflictual love/hate, sadness/joy vibes on this one.
Good energic funk that prequels the Disco mania that was to come.
POV : You're heading back to the cheap motel after a couple of drinks you couldn't afford. You're thinking about the revolver in the glove compartment and how you almost ended it two days ago. All of a sudden, a weird looking clown walks up the road. No chance to hit the brakes, you ram him over. A man and a woman, well dressed, knocks on your window. As you roll it down, they start singing a tune you know you've heard before, but you can't quite put your finger on it. Oh no! You're in a Lynch movie!
Something outside the US and UK on this list that is not some commercial bullcrap!? Shut up and take my money!
I just can't stand this kind of early Century soul/hip-hop. Good for her though.
This album isn't necessary on this list, since the 2 other Echo albums does the trick, but hey I'm not going to spit on great Post-Punk!
That was pretty good, but I don't see why I would listen to it often. Still, it totally deserves its place here!
I really get how this album had an influence on future techo and other IDM/EDM kind of music, but I'm really just not a fan of this kind of stuff.
An alright album with alright music. Was that necessary here?
Some good songs here and there, but it's mostly just blues rock with an organ. I largely prefer other albums from DP, or even Uriah Heep if I have to compare them to a similar band.
Good minimalistic country. I'm pretty sure it's not her best work, but I still enjoyed it.
*Random noises under unnecessary loud bass*
Oh boy. That's not what I have in mind when you're mentionning "New Wave".
The lengths this list will go to find the dumbest and most useless albums to listen to is crazy.
It just doesn't make any sense how good this album is. Hits after hits, it's just fun on a record!
Wow. This wasn't very good. Was another album from this band really necessary on this list?
Very interesting album with a good balance between some pop elements and experimental arrangements.
This album didn't take me anywhere, as the title says, but at least it was music, which not all the albums in this list can pretend to be.
It's alright, but nothing really hooked me.
This is the kind of music that makes me say the 90s sucks.
Could've been a nice Scott Walker tribute, but it lacks the emotional delivery.
It' a very important Blues Rock album. Too bad I don't like Blues.
Boring alternative rock
Not as bad as expected! A pretty decent record, but it still shouldn't be on this list.
Room 1408 ruined this for me.
"Annoy" Rocks, am I right??
Indeed, that was punk rock.
Love this album! It feels so different from the rest of his discography. Bowie really embodies the Soul sound on this one!
The most inoffensive album on this list.
The Stooges for millenials.
Indie Folk for hipsters.
Take it easy dude, but take it!
First time hearing about these guys. It's an alright album.
Come on... Really?
Most of these songs were heard in the other DP albums on this list. Hey it's a good live album, but hearing them jam their songs doesn't make it an essential.
It's not bad per se, but I don't really get how it's considered to be different from the countless country stuff out there.
Wait a minute. This isn't as good as people used to think it was.
What the hell is this? One more album that really doesn't make any sense on this list...
Hey this just isn't my kind of music, but I get it.
Oh boy was this good! I really need to dig deeper into his discography.
Sometimes, being accessible isn't a good thing. Still a good jazz fusion album, but it tries too hard to be radio friendly.
Kiss is more of a "greatest hits" kind of band and this album only has one of them in it.
You must be kidding me?
Nobody can convince me that this album deserves its place on this list. There's just no way.
What a wonderful treat after a long and painful streak of 1s and 2s.
What am I supposed to do with this?
The bass lines on the first two DD are just insane. I mean, I can't stand the radio hits anymore, but this album still just kicks ass!
An alright brit-pop album with some psych influences. Not a bad listen, but why should it deserve a place on this list?
Tell me you're out of ideas for your book without telling me you're out of ideas for your book.
I just can't believe this album is part of this list. How much did he pay for this??
Lovely album. I'm not a fan, but the production and the voice are objectively beautiful. It made quite the impression back then!
Mortal Kombat music for gym bros.
Good title. My mind really goes on "automatic" when listening to this band. Pretty good anyhow.
It's a good album, but it just doesn't stand out. Still enjoyable!
Who knew Blues Rock could be this catchy?
Great example of Songhai music and I'm very happy to hear an album that isn't from the UK on this list.
Good folk that passes by like a fart in the wind.
A slacker's review for a slacker's album.
Good Blues, as much as Blues can be good.
Not my favorite from Slayer, but a quick and good example of how they sound at their peak.
Still not my favourite band.
Listening to this feels like your dog taking a shit in your mouth while you're sleeping.
Yeah this album is pretty good, but it's just not part of my preferred styles.
This album makes me want to kill myself.
I'm a HUGE fan of psych rock and Neo-Psych, but I just can't get my head around those guys. It's the kind of psychedelia that is similar to Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized and I just can't stand those bland sounds that leads to nowhere. But hey, if that's your thing it's also fine! How come King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's not on this list? At this point, they should've earned their place here.
One of the best record to come out of Brazil and Brazil is quite good at making masterpieces, to say the least!
Yeah this is pretty good stuff! The group, not the country, I mean.
Who?
It's a good album. Hell, I guess it's a great album, but it just feels a little generic to me, even if they might have contributed to the invention of this generic sound. Still, it deserves its place here.
Bland music for bland people.
I don't get the appeal for this kind of albums, but again I don't get most of the Alternative Rock movement anyway. Still, the songs are pretty well executed and the overall feeling is nice.
Quirky "little" jazz album with quite a lot of good sounds. Not my favorite from the Monk, but still an essential in his discography.
The last good Metallica album. A bit too long though.
I think Dog Man Star would have been enough on this list, but I still enjoyed this debut.
This is what a masterpiece sounds like. Take notes.
I prefer to die.
Ah yes, Country music.
I hear a kind of mix between Elton John and The Beatles. Still, nothing really sounds relevant.
This album feels so rich, but yet so bland at the same time.
It's a good album, especially guitar wise, but what it offers in virtuosity, it lacks in feelings. If that's your introduction to Latin Rock music, you might enjoy this a lot, but if you're already familiar with South American Rock from that time, Santana might just not sound so incredible.
Going back to this is always a guaranteed blast!
One of the best examples that songs can be molded according to a feeling or a context. One of the best live albums ever made.
Good album. I don't know if I would've added it to this list myself, but I had a great time.
Coke rocks!
Comfortably Numb, Bee Gees edition. For crying out loud, what was that??
This album on this list makes absolutely no sense to me.
Good stuff, but I don't know why I expected a warmer touch of psychedelia.
Probably the best indie folk album there is. Make sure to listen to the Sun Giant EP with it; it complements the album in quite an essential way.
It's okay, but it's not The Beatles.
I live for this kind of music, but I can't seem to get this for reasons unknown. It just feels like they're trying too hard.
They really just had one song.
India's Van Halen
I think I'll have to come back to it to really appreciate it to its real value. Still, the sample work here is just truly amazing. Here's a 3 that might get to a 4 in a close future.
Quite surprised to find this one here, but hey I'm not gonna spit on some Wyatt!
"Yeah, 8 Bowie albums is not enough for this list. We really should add The Next Day, an essential pick in Bowie's discography"
It's a good punk album, but I'm just not really into that kind of stuff.
2 seconds in and I already knew I would hate this.
Overrated as this may be, it still truly is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Boring boomer rock that doesn't bring anything to the table. How is Hotel California not enough for this list?
Pretty good stuff. Probably their best album, but it still feels like ''U2 with a twist''.
I'm not sure this album was necessary to this list with all of his most notable albums already on it, but it's a great live album that shows a large variety of Dylan's catalog.
One of the greatest pop rock albums of all time!
Nothing really awful, but it's just not my kind of stuff.
There goes my hero Watch him as he goes There goes my hero He's ordinary
Psychedelic masterclass. Take it, hold it, love it.
Not the greatest New Wave band of the lot, not even their best album, but it's still quite a good catch of early 80s pop music.
Punk rock. X? More like Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
This cured everything except my depression.
Their 2 following efforts are much better, but it's still quite the enjoyment.
This band is really great but their album covers truly are outdated in a way I can't even describe.
Hardcore Punk that sounds like every Hardcore Punk band out there. Good stuff.
He got rich, somehow.
Masterpiece. One of the best albums of all time by one of the best bands of all time and composed by some of the best musicians of all time.
Hard not to fall asleep.
Wonderful in every way.
Nothing mindblowing, it's an hour of piano after all. But hey, at least it was good music for a change.
Imagine getting 2 albums by this band only for a single hit. They really didn't know what else to add to their shitty list.
So, how's your Nirvana cover band doing?
It's fine if you're looking for generic psych rock I guess?
Child in Time.
I don't really get why this is on this list, but I prefer their second album "Miami" anyway.
A phenomenal tour de force for this French electronic composer. Really great stuff!
Far from their best, in my opinion, but some Talk Talk is always great!
Fun to be had all around. A masterpiece of pop rock!
Old School classic. This may have aged, but it still is an undeniable landmark in rap music. ACAB
Oh boy, was this long and dull.
Dullest album about a fugitive ever made.
Music for people who needs to be told what to like.
I really like my Nick Cave when he tells stories about shooting people in a bar for 15 minutes.
It's alright, but still pretty inoffensive.
I was certain to hate this, but I really enjoyed it!
I think this album was very interesting, but there can't be any reasonable justification for its presence on this list. Seriously, what happened?
One of my favorite albums of all time. It really marks a change in Peter's sound, going from a Lamb Lies Down-esque song to the masterpiece that is Solsbury Hill. This kind of closure is very similar to New Order's Movement; the first song saying goodbye to Joy Division and welcoming New Order. It is fair to say that this album is all over the place, but to me it really shows the creative range of Peter's musical genius.
It's a good modern folk album, but I don't see why it should be here.
Ok boomer.
This album really takes you elsewhere, what a floating blast!
I can go for an high pitched Geddy Lee or King Diamond any day, but this is just plain ridiculous.
A little too long, but quite enjoyable!
A good punk album, but still a little overrated.
I never really got into DM, but it was enjoyable.
I think the original idea would have been amazing in 1967, but sometime some things should say in the Land of Imagination. I also don't think Jodorowsky's Dune would be great if it was finally made today, for example.
It's crazy how one of the best albums of all times was made in 1967... Tough competition.
Better than the other one, as far as I can remember. It's alright, but not that good either.
Very nice! I'm happy to get a chance to listen to this one, it's been on my list for a while.
If doing dinosaur sounds with your guitar was a concept for a band.
How the Grateful Dead should sound in my mind
This album will put you to sleep.
A French singer has sex with a minor and makes a cultural product to brag about it. La routine, quoi.
I always enjoy The Kinks, but I rarely listen to them. It's good to have an opportunity here.
BLACK HOLE SUN, WON'T YOU COME
''Sex is natural, sex is good Not everybody does it But everybody should Sex is natural, sex is fun Sex is best when it's one-on-one One-on-one Hoo-ah (Sex) I'm not your father Hoo-ah (Sex) I'm not your brother Hoo-ah (Sex) talk to your sister Hoo-ah (Sex) I am a lover Hoo-ah (Sex) Woo-ooh, ah Hoo-ah (Sex) Hoo-ah (Sex) Ow! C-c-c-c-c-c-come on (Hoo-ah)'' Give me a fucking break.
I don't think this should be on this list, but it's still one hell of an album. Very unique vibes to find here.
Not my kind of stuff, but it's a good album I guess.
Yeah they're alright, but I prefer Surfer Rosa.
Better than the other one we got, but still not up to my taste.
Great record! I don't know why I never listened to these guys before I was forced to by this list.
I was expecting something a little bit more... upbeat, with a name like that. Not really my kind of stuff, even though the Twin Peaks vibes kind of hit sometimes.
God damnit. I'm supposed to love this kind of shit, but I just can't stand them. Too bad!
Probably the best girls band after The Runaways. Very dynamic and full of young energy.
Never got the success of this guy, but this albums is alright.
Huzzah!
This is the kind of shit that made me hate music of the 90s as a whole.
Dada Punk to its best. A band that has only one goal : FUN; and they excel at it.
Melancholia to its true core. Perhaps the best folk album ever written.
Yes, this is a Bob Marley's album indeed. They all sound the same.
They really meant business with this one.
A good captation of a great voice. Truly love the vibe here.
It's the worst The Beatles can do, but it's still pretty good. That says something!
It's alright. Probably his best since he's not "screaming" around.
If you don't like Black Sabbath, go fuck yourself.
We get it, you like Morrissey.
Can you believe the drummer of this band made the soundtrack to Spyro?
Magical stuff. My favorite Radiohead and one of the best albums of all time.
A champion in the category of "old man who laments". Chills and teary eyes guaranteed.
This isn't gonna work out. I'm sorry, it's not you, it's me.
Magnificient. This cured me after all the horrible albums I got on this list.
The guy's a fucking idiot, but he still could make a decent record back then.
Incredible summer vibes from skilled Cuban legends. Where do we sign up for this Social Club?
Never really enjoyed punk rock and adjacents, but this one isn't all that bad.
Not really my kind of stuff and I really can't tell if I enjoyed it or not.
I wouldn't listen to this everyday, but it's good stuff.
Not their best effort, but still pretty great.
Not really my kind of stuff...
There's good moments here and there, but nothing great for my taste.
I've always enjoyed Van Halen's wankering, but I've also always hated David Lee Roth's endless whining. It's still quite the album nonetheless.
I've never been a fan of double albums, even when it's from my favorite group of all time. Still, this album smash and slays all in its way and contains some of the best pieces Genesis ever recorded. The story gets a whole lotta weird, but with Peter on command, I wouldn't have it any other way. A true classic and a masterclass to good progressive rock!
It really pisses me off that this asshole gets 4 of his solo albums on this list, but we don't get any Phil Collins at all. His work with The Smiths would have been largely enough, imo.
Good stuff
Teenage core
Inoffensive blues rock, like everything Rod ever did.
There's the classic, but then there's also great songs that deserves to be heard. One of my favorites from Cooper's outfit.
Tortured Americana that feels like having a deep depression on the porch of your mobile home.
Clearly her best work. Beautiful and mesmerizing!
Probably my least favorite Stooges album, but still enjoyable! Bowie's mix sounds much better in my opinion.
Incredible stuff all around. Legendary.
This sounds like REM, but if they were good. A pretty nice discovery!
Perceived as a masterpiece when it got out, but did it really pass the test of time? Was it just the excitment of a new long awaited record?
Incredible singer and great texts for the time.
I think Adele gave her everything on 21 and there was barely anything left for what followed. Nothing bad, but nothing attention worthy either.
There's no place like America today, indeed...
Interesting modern take on krautrock.
Alright, I'll stay if you say it like this.
Forgettable, for my taste, but I still had a good time.
Is the Krautrock in the room with us right now?
I never really got the whole Jack White thing. Anyway...
It must have been very exciting everytime Bowie released an album back then. This guy (almost) can't miss!
When you're so desperate for a good album that it becomes one (even if it's really not that good).
While I enjoy the presence of a Can member on this list, I really don't get how it got here.
My favorite ZZ Top, but still nothing lifechanging. It's uncle Blues with a touch of synth.
I never thought an album could be this boring.
I skan't listen to this anymore!
Good ol' 70s rock 'n roll! Never get tired of these guys.
If it makes you sleep even on LSD, then it must be very boring.
Might as well just give us a day off if it's to give us that kind of sleeping pill.
Jacques Brel for people that doesn't speak French. Love it!
This guy melts my heart.
Anthrax has entered the chat.
One White Stripes album, I can understand that. But three? That's plain ridiculous!
Makes me want to quit my day job, do drugs, get naked and dance in the woods for a while. That is a good thing, in case you weren't sure.
I can understand why some people really likes this. It's good, but I don't think it is incredible either.
This guy heard Bob Dylan and told himself "Yeah, this guy really isn't depressed enough".
When you buy Scott Walker on Temu.
I really can't stand this kind of stuff and I really don't get how it ever got popular. My only explanation is that people were horny as fuck back then and needed dumb music to cum or something.
Good ol' psychedelia that never gets insane, but stays equally good all the way.
Wanna be Kiss with a hint of punk. Not for me.
It's alright.
Not really my kind of thing, but nothing bad either.
Why does this list give me their toughest battles.
So mellow and comfortable. Clearly her best work.
Their most post punk-ish, maybe? Quite enjoyable!
These guys can't do shit without Young.
Would you like some music with your Brit Pop?
I never want to listen to them, but it's always enjoyable. Good stuff!
Probably my favorite from The Kinks and most certainly their most lysergic.
Elvis having a badtrip at the fair.
Blues.
