Fun Lovin' Criminals
2/5
First 2 or 3 tracks are "OK, cool. I can dig this". The 5th track (Smoke em) has a sample of some bell or tone that repeats incessantly through the entire song. After that I just couldn't get past the repetitive nature of the rest of the album. Good to have a song or two mixed in on a playlist but I can't do a whole album

I get why people like him and can appreciate the music but his iconic voice is a bit much after an hour straight. The music changes but every song the vocals sound too similar
Gang Of Four
4/5
I can hear a lot of modern bands in this. Sounds like they would fit in with any time period between 1980 and 2000. Heavy Clash vibes

I just don't get it. This is her second album I've come across on the 1001 list and I'm only about 40 albums deep. Just don't see the appeal. Not terrible but I certainly wouldn't label them as "must listens"

60+ years of great music to choose from with many, many studio albums and they pick a live album from the 60's that sounds like it was recorded by some guy holding a microphone stageside
Malcolm McLaren
4/5
Broad spectrum of genres crammed onto a single album. Somehow works
Mylo
2/5
I listen to them and try but it's hard to take another hour plus album of electronica. I have no doubt that it reaches some. Just not me
4/5
Attempting to listen while placing myself in the era makes a difference. Flutes must have been all the rage back then

Metallica
4/5
I'm a big Metallica fan but was skeptical of a live album. The accompanying orchestra suits it surprisingly well
Grizzly Bear

The 13th Floor Elevators
2/5
Every song has this sound in the background that I can only describe as a pigeon cooing or maybe "underwater" bubbling. I suppose it was the 60's and everyone was experimenting with new sounds and formulas but this one got annoying REALLY quickly. Unfortunately, once heard I couldn't concentrate on anything else

Likely an unpopular opinion but I can't be the only one who thinks if you've heard one Bob Marley song you've heard them all. Nothing against the man and the music but it seems to me you could probably take two or three songs from any album in his discography and unless you know the words to sing along wouldn't be able to tell the difference
