Lupe Fiasco
4/5
This is not my genre, but I actually enjoyed it. Some fun beats and catchy songs.

Radiohead

Dang, I forgot how good this album is. Haven't listened to it in years and just played it on repeat for a while. Great stuff.

I learned from this album that I really don't like Tom Waits' laugh.

A Tribe Called Quest
2/5
It had some good rhythms and beats, but it is certainly not my style of music. I think the track 'Bonita Applebum' maybe my least favourite song I've heard in a while. Especially the remix with some unfun groans in there at the end.
The Notorious B.I.G.
1/5
Whelp. Definitely not my cup of tea. There were some good beats and decent background music, but the subject matter is simply one I cannot relate to. Also, far, far too many extremely unpleasant noises to make for good listening. That is not what I want to hear. And too much D*$# for me, thanks.
Grateful Dead
3/5
I enjoyed it. I listen to these while working so they are mostly background music and I am not analyzing each song or getting super invested. That being said, this is much more my speed and was GREAT for just playing in the background. However I do like songs with a bit more weight and musical oomph. Found it a little bland. Very easy to tune out. There was nothing memorable about it at all.
The Smiths
4/5
I enjoyed this one. I was working so not listening super closely, but it had some catchy riffs and I found myself tuning in more than with other albums. This is one that I wouldn't mind hearing again. I wasn't really listening to the lyrics but I think I get the gist.
Patti Smith
2/5
So she seems to go out of her way to make her voice as unpleasant as possible. I don't know why one would do that when your art form involves people listening to your voice. 'Free Money' was the only song that was kind of okay, though I didn't listen well to it since I was working. But it's what bumped this to a 2.
The Police
3/5
Hmm. I don't have a lot to say about this one. It was okay, I guess. There was nothing that stood out to me and nothing that really made me angry.
Fela Kuti
3/5
I actually didn't mind this nearly as much as I thought I would. Partially because I listen while I'm working, this had some nice rhythm and sound for just having on while working, without distracting lyrics that pulled my attention away from work. I wouldn't choose to listen to something like this, but it was fine as sound in the background. I think it would be worse if my sole attention was on it and I was actively listening, because it's not really my style.
M.I.A.
3/5
Not bad. Kinda fun beats for background listening. I had a rough morning so really wasn't focused on the music, but that's fine. Nothing that stood out overly to me, but I do enjoy Paper Planes somewhat.
Kraftwerk
5/5
I don't know why but I love this album. It's great. Fun sounds, cool german accents saying the same words over and over again. So amazing! I think my favourite tracks are Europe Endless and The Hall of Mirrors.
The Strokes
2/5
This was terrible. Just a bunch of unpleasant noise being shouted at the mic or something. I don't know, I tuned out the majority of the album because it was not fun to listen to.
Tracy Chapman
4/5
I enjoyed this album a lot. 'Fast Car' is fantastic and is the first song since starting this that made it onto my Liked Songs on Spotify. There were some other good ones on here, but I did find it dragged through the middle of the album so that's why it gets a 4. Great voice though!
5/5
A classic. So good! I forgot how much I liked the Beatles. Not much more to say, really. Gotta be a 5!
k.d. lang
3/5
It's nothing special. Very much background music. Nothing that offended my ears, but not much to captivate me or draw me in, either. I did like 'Season of Hollow Soul', but that was about it.
Merle Haggard
2/5
Really not my style. Just not the music I enjoy and seems very narcissistic and annoying, but obviously a product of the times. Still, do not want.
Thelonious Monk
1/5
Well, this was fun. Not. Sorry, really not my type of music. It feels like elevator music and I didn't even notice when the album was over because Spotify just moved on to another album. Just music for the background that I couldn't bring myself to pay attention to.
Fugees
2/5
Ehh. It was okay. Had some okay music and some songs I didn't mind, others I found actively unpleasant. Again, really not the kind of music I'm generally into.
Bonnie Raitt
3/5
Well, it wasn't terrible. There were some fun guitar sounds. Some songs were bad (Real Man) and some were okay. Maybe it's because I left to take a class and came back, but it seemed like the last song in the album took a swift turn in a different direction sound-wise. Seemed out of place.
Pink Floyd
4/5
Great album, though it's not my favourite Pink Floyd album. The first half has a few weak bits, and I've never really enjoyed Time and Money, which seem to be very popular for some reason.
That being said, the second half is amazing, and Brain Damage/Eclipse are two of my favourite PF songs. And the depth and layers of sound in Pink Floyd songs is amazing - this made me remember how amazing the Roger Waters concert was. Great stuff!
Morrissey
3/5
I'm writing this right after listening and I don't remember anything about this album. Maybe there was a song about a fatty? Idk. Not great, not terrible. 2.5 if I could.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
2/5
I have never heard CCR before, and it turns out, they are bad.
Badly Drawn Boy
4/5
I enjoyed this album, much more my style than some of the others. Got an Arcade Fire feel from some of the songs. Probably need to listen to it a little more closely, but overall I thought it was enjoyable.
Ravi Shankar
3/5
Kinda cool to hear about a different musical style, though I'm so musically disinclined that I admit I didn't understand most of the theory part. The actual songs were fun and great background music for working.
Beastie Boys
1/5
What garbage nonsense is this? Just bad, bad.
Astrud Gilberto
3/5
It had some entertaining parts, and was not actively unpleasant to listen to. But also did not grab my attention - very easy to tune out while working, so I think I missed the majority of the album. 2.5/5.
Black Sabbath
3/5
I actually enjoyed this album, overall. And I was absolutely tickled pink to hear a song from Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2! It wasn't my favourite album, and I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it, but it was enjoyable.
Public Enemy
2/5
I did not enjoy this. Don't know why there seems to be a music genre that is 'Make as much unpleasant noise as possible'. Because art, I suppose?
Elis Regina
2/5
This was quite meh. None of the songs stood out, and I simply tuned it out as background music. She did have a lovely voice though.
Genesis
3/5
Interesting. Have I heard Genesis before? Not that I can recall. Had some very cool sounds and parts I really enjoyed, but also got quite rambly. Some of the songs were just too long. Still, I enjoyed it. Probably would have liked it more if I were actually listening instead of working, but alas. Time is precious.
Jamiroquai
3/5
Had some good rhythms/sounds. Enjoyed it overall, though I wouldn't listen again.
I love these artists that I've never heard of because I have NO idea what to expect when I hit play. Such fun!
The Prodigy
3/5
I actually kinda liked it. I wouldn't go back and listen again, but it was kind of fun. I liked the song 'No Good'.
Michael Jackson
2/5
I've never really listened to any Michael Jackson before, and I'm not a big fan. Just not the style for me.
The Streets
2/5
Well this was kinda weird. Not a big fan, the rhythms were weird and I found myself tuning them out more often than not.
Spacemen 3
2/5
I honestly just tuned this out so hard I don't even know what I listened to. Extremely unmemorable and unengaging.
Derek & The Dominos
2/5
Layla is a great song, though this is not my favourite version of it. All the rest of these songs were kinda dumb. But I guess that's love songs for ya. I'd say 2.5 only because of Layla, so I'll rate it a 2.
Fiona Apple
2/5
I felt like I wanted to like this, but just couldn't. Every time I heard something that sounded kinda cool, she ruined it.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
4/5
I actually enjoyed this quite a lot. The type of soothing music I needed at the end of a long day.
Dire Straits
2/5
I listened to this. I don't remember anything about it at all. It was very unmemorable and I basically tuned the whole thing out.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
I had a solid Led Zeppelin phase in high school. They are still great. Not every song is a winner, but the ones that are are awesome.
Sisters Of Mercy
3/5
This was kinda fun. I'd need to listen to it again I think but it had a cool sound. I enjoyed it.
Buffalo Springfield
2/5
There were some good guitar parts, and I did enjoy parts of 'Broken Arrow'. But mostly this album didn't do it for me and I tuned out a lot of it.
Nick Drake
3/5
Interesting. I like the album artwork. And the songs were quite soothing to listen to - I wanted to like them a whole lot more, but it just missed the mark. Still, not bad.
Mudhoney
1/5
Did not like. Just kinda noisy noise that wasn't fun or cohesive.
MC Solaar
3/5
This was kinda fun! I liked a lot of it, it had some good rhythms and beats and was just nice to listen to.
Ministry
1/5
This was bad. I did not enjoy any parts of it.
Garbage
4/5
I liked this! There were some pretty good songs on here.
Kanye West
2/5
It had some good beats and some songs were pleasant to listen to. It also had some very annoying parts. Almost a 3, but that last song pissed me off enough to drop it to a 2. I'm sorry Kanye, I just don't care.
Lou Reed
2/5
Extremely unmemorable; I did listen to it, but I could not tell you anything about it.
Serge Gainsbourg
3/5
Not my favourite. I don't know why all these artists feel the need to put unpleasant sounds in the middle of their albums. Really does not help their ratings.
Van Morrison
3/5
This was okay. Moondance was a pretty good song, the rest of the album was pretty forgettable.
Nick Drake
4/5
Had some good parts, reasonably enjoyable
David Bowie
3/5
Not Bowie's best. I do enjoy the song Heroes a lot, and some of the instrumentals were kinda fun.
Louis Prima
1/5
This was not good. Did not like.
CHIC
2/5
Really not a style of music I enjoy. Had some okay parts, but far too repetitive and full of fluff.
John Coltrane
3/5
It was nice background music, I didn't mind it.
Blur
3/5
Not bad, but mostly unmemorable. I liked Girls & Boys which I swear I've heard in a movie or show or something but I can't think of where.
Femi Kuti
3/5
Fun album to listen to while working, I like the rhythm of it.
fIREHOSE
3/5
Fairly unremarkable although not unpleasant.
Elvis Presley
3/5
Okay. Elvis has never been my jam.
Spiritualized
4/5
I kinda liked it, though I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention. It was great background music to work to and more of my style of music. It looped around again and I didn't even notice because I was enjoying it.
Cypress Hill
2/5
Not a fan, just not the type of music I enjoy.
Sly & The Family Stone
2/5
Meh. Didn't really like it.
The The
3/5
I know I listened to this but I have zero recollection of any of it - even what style it was. So I'll give it a generic 2.5/5
The Black Crowes
3/5
It was okay, had some fun guitar. But not really my type of music.
FKA twigs
4/5
I enjoyed this. It had some cool ethereal sounds that were fun to listen to, though the lyrics were a little repetitive.
Radiohead
5/5
Dang, I forgot how good this album is. Haven't listened to it in years and just played it on repeat for a while. Great stuff.
Boston
4/5
Pretty good. I enjoyed most of it but wasn't enraptured. 3.5/5 but I'll bump to a 4 to make Tom happy.
Slipknot
2/5
Like most music in this genre, I enjoy the non screaming parts and dislike the rest. Unfortunately not enough of the non-screaming for me to like it.
Frank Black
2/5
This felt very very long and disjointed. I kept checking to see how much more I had to go before I was done. Not a fan.
The Temptations
3/5
It was okay, tuned out most of it. I enjoyed 'The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face', but the rest was pretty meh.
Carole King
3/5
T'was okay. Nothing memorable.
Green Day
4/5
Fun! Never really listened to Green Day before, though of course I've heard a few of these.
5/5
Dang this is so good. There are a few songs I don't love in the middle, but the rest more than make up for it.
Gil Scott-Heron
3/5
Not bad, enjoyed it as easy listening in the background while working. Then the talking part came and I had to focus on that, which was interesting but generally not what I listen to music for.
Isaac Hayes
2/5
It was okay until the last song with the long monologue. Did not enjoy that at all.
Run-D.M.C.
3/5
Not bad. Enjoyed the beats.
Thundercat
2/5
There were parts of this I liked, but it just seemed so all over the place and meandering. I don't think this album knows what it wanted to be. 2.5 rounded down because it made me grumpy every time it took a left turn.
Fishbone
2/5
Not a big fan. Mostly it just faded into the background and couldn't keep my attention.
XTC
4/5
I liked this one! Reminded me a bit of the Flaming Lips.
Queen Latifah
3/5
Didn't mind this, had some good rhythms and nice background music. I'll admit, wasn't paying too much attention though.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Neil Young is great. Not my favourite of his though, some of the songs are just too long and meandery.
The Clash
3/5
I actually hadn't heard a lot of these except for the first and last song, which were great. The rest of the album was pretty meh, tbh.
Beatles
4/5
Lots of songs on here that I had actually never heard. Some very good, some not so good. Overall I enjoyed it but definitely not my favourite Beatles album.
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
3/5
Enjoyable; didn't pay much attention as it was in the background while working, but it was pleasant to listen to.
The White Stripes
2/5
Okay, nothing stood out for me. Wouldn't listen again.
Beck
2/5
I wasn't a huge fan, and Zero didn't like it so that brings it's rating down for sure.
Iron Maiden
3/5
I liked parts of this. Overall not bad.
Alexander 'Skip' Spence
3/5
It was okay. Interested reading about the background of the album and definitely makes sense why it's a bit of a rambling, meandering mess.
Violent Femmes
2/5
There were parts that I wanted to like but most of it was just annoying. I feel like people who make music sometimes need a reminder that people have to listen to it.
Marianne Faithfull
3/5
There were parts of it I really enjoyed, and I loved that version of Working Class Hero. Other songs faded into the background though.
Beatles
5/5
Some great songs on here. Enjoyed!
Sonic Youth
2/5
Didn't enjoy this, and it was way too long.
Queen
5/5
So good! I had this album as a kid and it was one of my favourites. I do not enjoy the interlude in the Prophet's Song but the rest of the song makes up for it and everything else is either amazing or hilarious.
2/5
Not my favourite, and fairly unmemorable.
Leonard Cohen
3/5
Not my favourite Leonard Cohen album. Didn't have any songs that really stood out to me. He's done better.
2Pac
2/5
Not my favourite, though had some good beats. I just don't really like much rap.
Pulp
4/5
Enjoyed this. Had a bit of a Bowie-esque sound to it.
The Gun Club
3/5
It was okay, but not my favourite. Some of the beats were fun.
Orbital
1/5
Too long and weird.
Ray Price
2/5
Can't decide if this guy is a sad alcoholic or a dick, or both. Didn't listen that closely to the lyrics but those I did hear were not great.
Wu-Tang Clan
2/5
Not a rap fan. But some decent beats. As well as some unfortunate skits/dialogue.
The Clash
3/5
Not bad. I think I'd need to listen a few times to appreciate it more.
Jane Weaver
4/5
Enjoyed this.
Pavement
4/5
Didn't really like it at first, but it grew on me as I listened. Quite enjoyable.
Afrika Bambaataa
3/5
Fun beats. Had a little dance party in the kitchen while doing dishes.
The Isley Brothers
3/5
Not bad. Nothing memorable.
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Parts are very good; Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo child, and of course, All Along the Watchtower. But a bit long for my taste.
New York Dolls
3/5
Okay. Nothing stood out for me.
ZZ Top
3/5
Nothing memorable, nothing bad. Very average.
Kanye West

4/5
Actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Good stuff.

Kanye West
2/5
I don't like Kanye.
Joy Division
3/5
Fairly unmemorable, but not unpleasant.
N.W.A.
3/5
Actually not too bad, for a genre I don't particularly enjoy.
David Bowie
4/5
Not the best Bowie I've heard, but still good. Golden Years is a fabulous song.
Ghostface Killah
2/5
Way too long, too many dicks, too many skits. Gets a two because some of the beats were catchy.
Dolly Parton
3/5
Found this fairly relaxing and enjoyable.
Iggy Pop
2/5
Not much of a fan. Kind of bland and unexciting.
Beatles
5/5
A classic. Insta 5
Fairport Convention
4/5
Didn't know what to expect with this as I've never heard of them, but I was pleasantly surprised! Some somewhat Joan Baez-y vocals and nice folky stuff which is my jam.
Hookworms
3/5
When it first started I was very displeased, but it actually got better and I didn't mind it by the end.
The Smashing Pumpkins
1/5
Why
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
It was okay. Nothing stood out to me.
Talking Heads
3/5
Nothing particularly ear-catching, other than Psycho Killer.

Taylor Swift
4/5
Enjoyed this quite a bit
The Undertones
4/5
Not too sure about the lyrics/subject matter of the songs, as I was doing dishes and making dinner while listening, but it was pretty darn catchy.
The Smiths
3/5
Some catchy stuff in here.
Wire
2/5
Nothing memorable and some annoying stuff.
The Lemonheads
3/5
I don't remember much about this but I think it was fine?

2/5
Not particularly fun to listen to. The vocals were a bit grating.
Joni Mitchell
4/5
I enjoyed this, nice and folky and she has a very pretty voice.
Solomon Burke
2/5
Meh not my type of music and some of the lyrics were not endearing.
Tito Puente
4/5
Well this was fun!
John Lee Hooker
3/5
Some good riffs, but overall most of the songs blended together.
Megadeth
3/5
This was interesting.
Throbbing Gristle
1/5
Well.
Gene Clark
3/5
Enjoyable but unremarkable.
Amy Winehouse
2/5
I think her voice is too whiney and nasally for me.
The Avalanches
2/5
Not my favourite, though I kinda liked Frontier Psychiatrist.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
My dad really likes Bruce Springsteen and has always wanted me to listen to him, but... I'm not super impressed. There were some okay songs but nothing stood out.
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Pretty awesome.

3/5
Not my favourite Donovan, but still enjoyable.

3/5
Enjoyed some of the songs, not so much others.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
2/5

Eminem

Count Basie & His Orchestra
3/5
Kinda fun.
Neil Young
2/5
Definitely not my favourite Neil Young.

Not bad.

Some fun songs
Supertramp
3/5

Queen
4/5
Some excellent songs on here, and some meh ones.
Radiohead
4/5
Not my favourite Radiohead album, but some cool stuff on here. A Wolf at the Door is amazing.
Pet Shop Boys
5/5
Okay I've never heard these folks before but I actually really enjoyed this.
Jeff Beck
3/5
I didn't enjoy most of the vocal tracks, but the instrumentals were fantastic, so that pulled it up to a 3.
Bee Gees
3/5
There were some good tracks on here but it was also fairly meandering and long.
Black Sabbath
3/5
Some good stuff, especially the instrumental. But some that I didn't like.
Björk
1/5
There were some notes and sounds that were cool, but most of it was awful and I didn't want to hear it.
George Michael
2/5
Really nothing special I barely noticed there was music on.
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
Nothing stood out as good or bad. Solid 2.5.

3/5
Not bad; obviously Hallelujah is amazing, but nothing else particularly stood out to me.
Miles Davis
2/5
TOO LONG
Alice In Chains
3/5
Not much notable.

Really enjoyed this - she has a beautiful voice.
The Chemical Brothers

Did not enjoy
Gary Numan
3/5

Le Tigre
1/5
Did not enjoy this noisy noise.
Justice
2/5
Not great, but one or two songs I didn't mind.
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
Some great songs on here, but some forgettable ones too. Not quite enough of the former to push it to a four.
The Doors
4/5
Some fabulous songs on here! A few not as good ones keep it from being a 5.
Steely Dan
3/5
Nothing special.
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Some fab songs on here. Not enough to push it to a 5.
David Bowie
4/5
Great stuff, but a some is a little too out there for me.
The Fall
2/5
Not a fan. Some of the vocals were okay some of the time, but a whole album of this was too much.
GZA
3/5
Nothing stood out as good or bad.
My Bloody Valentine
3/5
Started pretty intriguing but quickly faded to background music.
Funkadelic
2/5
Some of the beats were okay but the shouting about poop was weird.
Liz Phair
3/5
I don't really know what to think. I started it and some parts were okay, and then when I came back to finish late at night Spotify was on shuffle so I don't know if I heard all the songs but I think I did but some were greyed out so I couldn't listen and some were not so good but some I didn't mind and I'm tired and confused.
The 13th Floor Elevators
3/5
Not bad, but nothing stood out as very good, either.
Pixies
3/5
'Twas alright
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Some great tracks on here. Not enough to bring it to a 5
The Cure
