Magnificent. 7 out of ten.

Not seeing what's so amazing about this. Good to mediocre.

I love everything by Public Enemy. There's just something about the sound.

Never heard this and really, really liked it.

Very Carol Kane-Esque. I'm enjoying it. shocked that I have never heard of so many of these albums. also bought the book in case there's some key info I need to know.

I don't get this at all

Meh. I didn't connect with this at all

This was good. I love the Groovin' song, but the rest was just ok. No idea why I have to listen before I die though.

This felt like being at a Renaissance fair. We need better albums.

This is really good. I might have to do it back to back.

This is a masterpiece. So sad that he died so young. "Could've Been" has always been a favorite of mine.

I like this album a lot. It’s a little dark….but the concept of a Joy Division is from the get go. I have a book about them on my dresser I need to get to!!

I really wanted to like it but think they have matured over time and this isn't their best work. This feels a very chaotic, unstructured and experimental compared to their more recent stuff.

Never heard this one and I really liked it. Reminded me of a more hip hop version of arrested development.

meh.

I didn't feel much of anything about this. Good or bad.

Amazing. This is an all-timer.

This is always ranked high and I don’t know why. It’s good. But it never amazes me.

Not my favorite Neil Young at all

I get why this album matters. But not much to me.

I hate Elton John, but this is by far his most palatable album. I had the 45 of “Saturday Night” and remember listening to it with my sister as a kid.

Oh man. I love this. I have to listen to their entire library now. amazing.

Not sure why this album is on the list and not the one with "Don't dream it's over, which is probably the greatest 80's song ever. I liked it though.

Epic is a good song, but most of this album is kinda mediocre to me. This was released the year I graduated HS.

Steeley Dan is underrated. Its like the background music of our lives. This is a really great album!

OMG. Is this Music?

Classic. Smoke on the Water. Good. But Great? I dunno.

This isn't my bag, but it is great. I think it's one of those albums that is more important than good. Important to the development of punk music and its legacy. Also, not mentioned enough is that John Cale (the Velvet underground) produced this album. I met Iggy Pop once and he was really nice.

This album is kinda exactly like the previous one. I don't find it good, but I know its great. So many bands refer to it as being influential. It was nice background music for my work day. Just not my cup of tea.

It's hard to imagine a better Reagae Album than this. Iconic.

The older I get, the more I love Lou Reed. Among musicians that are artists...I think he is a king. He didn't give a fuck what anyone else was doing, he just did what he wanted. The Velvet underground never got him any commercial success and his first album was kinda blah, so hooking up with Bowie (who produced this album) while he was in Europe he came up with this masterpiece. Walk on the Wild Side, Sattelitte of Love, NY Conversation. All amazing. Love this.

Never really got into them. But I like this album. Maybe it grows on you.

Ray Charles is always amazing. Doesn't matter what he does. I didn't give it five stars because of the lack of hits. But I could certainly listen to him all day.

it's so funny that I thought Metallica was too heavy...like only freaks and druggies listened and it was garbage. Then the older I get, the more it's just music, good good music. So many classics on this one. It's an extremely good album that holds up so well!

Never heard it before. Kinda wierd. Don't totally get it.

this was entertaining, but I didn't get much more out of it than that. Not my bag,

The Kinks are another band I someday need to do a deep dive into. So many people are obsessed with them and although I like several of their songs I never saw the great allure.

I knew the first song really well which helped. After that I'd say it was good, but not amazing.

I really enjoyed this and I know it really good jazz. I wish I knew more about jazz and/or listened to more of it. It's like a black hole in my music knowledge. Although as a trumpet player I played it plenty and of course loved that.

I like Birdland. Good stuff. I just really need to learn jazz. I bet this is good.

I don't know what this is. I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I hate, hate hate Elton John. I love Tiny Dancer mainly because of the scene in "Almost Famous" (movie) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qW9wqUI4Lg ) And Levon is a pretty good song. I think I can stomach early EJ easier. And I get his allure and greatness so I'm reluctantly giving it 4 stars....like a guy saying "I hate salmon, but that's good salmon." I hate EJ, but this is good EJ.

Enjoyable. But don't need to listen again.

Oh no. This isn't something I like at all.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Hell yes.

The older I get, the more I love the Talking Heads. Everything Talking Heads.

This falls into the category of "I don't know enough about jazz to know how good it is." I enjoyed it.

Enjoyable. But not much more than that.

Enjoyable. But not much more than that.

Enjoyable. But not much more than that.

I don't get this at all. Must be influential or something. Kat described it perfectly, the go go's with screaming.

I love all things Elvis. I've often wondered if he was handsome whether he would have been more famous. I real the 33 1/3 for Armed Forces and was surprised to learn he had a racist/xenophobic streak in his past. Great music though. Someday I have to do a deep dive on the whole library.

I love the Who, but not this album. Good, but not great.

This was pleasant. It had a 90's feel for sure.

Not this one. 🙄 Kill 'Em All to Justice for All. That's all there is.

This is good. I enjoy it, but I really don't what all the excitement was. Black hole Sun is good. Maybe I just suck at connecting with 90's music.

Barely music. Ugh. 2 Stars

This is all well and good...but no idea why I need to hear this before I die.

I really like this. And its good. I wish I had liked it when it was out, but I learned of it much later.

I like Rockit. But I didn't know this music. It was okayish

This is genius. I love these guys so much.

A very underrated songwriter who I don't know a ton about. But lots of musicians rave about him.

This is a masterpiece. I wish I understood it more. I do love it.

Good. Free bird is great.

Why is this on the list?

First time listening. I dig it....but I'm a huge fan

I mean. This is one of the greatest albums of all time. Just so fucking good.

I like a lot of his stuff way more. I wonder why this one made the list.

This is a fucking masterpiece. Every single song.

I love this genre. The Byrds have a great album in it too.

I mean. It's the Clash. This is kinda a perfect album. So many different things. the birth of the 80's post disco punk movement. A+

This is a nearly perfect album and if you don't agree you are dead to me.

There was nothing like this when it came out.

I love this. Love it.

He has way better albums.

This album is perfection.
