Iggy Pop

2/5

Rating: 2/5 Not a fan of Iggy Pop's style, maybe because the pop-punk subgenre isn't my forte normally. I didn't completely hate the album, just not something I would ever pick up again. Stand Out Song(s): Some Weird Sin, The Passenger

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

First time listening to Beck and this was the perfect album to start with. Despite it being one of his most personal albums, I enjoyed the variety of styles Beck used on this album. He might not be an artist I will listen to often but definitely made an impression on me. Stand Out Songs: Lonesome Tears, Little One

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

2/5

A few songs in and I wasn't feeling this album. Shame since I've been looking forward to listen to more songs by Leonard Cohen.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

2/5

Not a fan of this band or album. The songs were boring and I found myself skipping halfway through each one.

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

As someone who has only listened to this album by Green Day, I was ecstatic to see this for today. What a classic album! Takes me back to the 2004 era when I would hear WMUWSE on the radio and on Tv shows. It was a fun ride hearing fave songs and rediscovering the joy that is "Homecoming," what a fun song to listen to. All-in-all, the best album I've listened to so far on this journey. Stand out Songs: American Idiot, Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Are We The Waiting, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Homecoming.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

1/5

Sorry, Bob Dylan, I just can't get into your music...got halfway through the album and couldn't continue because of how boring the album is to me.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

First time listening to a full album by The Temptations, to say I enjoyed what I heard is an understatement. The boys are smooth. I'm pinching myself for never taking the time to appreciate their music beyond "My Girl."

Moby Grape

1/5

Honestly felt like all the songs sounded the same, there was nothing unique or distinctive about Moby Grapes' sound.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

4/5

If I hadn't listened to this live album, I would have rated it much lower. However, listening to this album live, I understood Frampton as an artist and why he's so loved. "Do You Feel Like We Do" is 14 minutes of the guitar having its shine and let's also talk about "Jumping Jack Flash" which was a fun song to get just a glimpse of what it was like to see Frampton live. Thanks to the generator for letting me finally hear Peter Frampton and actually enjoy it. Standout songs: All I Want To Be (Is By Your Side), Jumping Jack Flash, Do You Feel Like We Do, Shine On.

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

4/5

I'm starting to see that I like specific subgenres of punk. Grunge-punk & pop-punk seem to be the only ones I can listen to multiple times with no issue (The Clash, My Chemical Romance, Nirvana). Post-punk can be a bit of a headache to listen to (for me), that being said, I didn't mind this album. The further I got through the album, the more I enjoyed it! Style wise I thought this would be a straight punk record - but it's a mixture of different rock sounds, sometimes it sounds electronic, and other times alternative. At times, it sounded like the stylistic sound Muse is known for in parts (electronic rock maybe...?) Standout songs: It's a Curse, Glam Racket, Service, Past Gone Mad, Lights/Fireworks

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

1/5

This is my 2nd Leonard Cohen album and I'm sorry Leonard, but I can't stand your music. Recently listened to Lou Reed/Velvet Underground and came to the realization that I absolutely LOATHE sing-songy artists. And unfortunately, Cohen does that a ton on this album. I could only take listening halfway through each song and sighed with relief once the last song played. Please for gods' sake generator, don't give me ANY MORE LEONARD COHEN ALBUMS!!!

Achtung Baby

U2

1/5

I’ve listened to a U2 song aeons ago and quite frankly couldn’t tell you what it was. That’s how abysmal that song was for me and also how I feel about this album. Unmemorable.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

2/5

Stand out songs: Straight Shooter

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

2/5

First time listening to Elliot Smith, was not a bad experience, but one I wouldn't be super thrilled to listen to again. Standout songs: Junk Bond Trader, In The Lost & Found (Honky Bach)/The Roost

Shadowland

k.d. lang

1/5

Country music...no thank you!

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

5/5

I Want You To Love Me is the perfect song to open this album, I was halfway in love right from the start. Despite the obvious way she uses instruments and background noises, for me what caught my ear the most was the lyrics of the songs. Alot of very personal and emotional lyrics went into this album and I loved it! Standout songs: I Want You To Love Me, Under The Table, Heavy Balloon, For Her

Maggot Brain

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

2/5

Listening to the full album, I've come to the realization that I only like Oasis in small doses at a time. Their music can be such an ear sore and only enjoyed listening to "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova."

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

5/5

This is the perfect album to listen to when it's pouring rain outside on a crisp fall afternoon while drinking tea. Feet propped on the settee and your faithful friend Nico is laying by your feet lounging as you are. You can never go wrong with Norah Jones.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

Will admit I know a bit more about the Beatle's personal life than their music, despite learning to play Hey Jude as my first contemporary song on the piano, and so it's been a journey listening to their albums. Revolver is my favorite album and now Rubber Soul is my second. Such a fun and experimental album compared to songs like ‘Help” or “Hey Jude.” Standout Songs: Drive My Car, Michelle, You Won't See Me

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

What an exciting album to listen to! The use of various instruments such as horns was a nice surprise. Will be listening to more of her music in the future. Standout Songs: Tightrope, Faster, Cold War

Closer

Joy Division

1/5

Nope nope nope. Here we are 5 years later & I still dislike Joy Division.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Standout Songs: Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine, Hats odd To (Roy) Harper

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

Suburban hip-hop is the best way to explain what I just listened to. It was chaotic and had a similar feel to Run DMC. I enjoyed it!
