One of the top public reviews states that this is Daphne, Velma and Fred from Scooby Doo and their coming of age. You're so wrong, it's Shaggy!! #JusticeForShaggy Really enjoyed this album, very groovy indeed!! Saved tracks: Good Beat, E.S.P., Groove Is In The Heart, Deep Ending
Really good stuff. I've never heard of this guy before, his vocals sounded a bit like Phil Collins to me lol (and I don't particularly like him or his music) but this was v good Saved tracks: Sledgehammer, Don't Give Up, Mercy Street, Big Time, This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds)
Love this album. Wish I was alive at the time you could hear the whole thing in a club.
I was obsessed with this album as a teenager. Still slaps. Still remember the lyrics haha
Everyone's heard 'Where is my Mind?', but it was nice to discover other songs on this album that I liked such as 'Bone Machine' and 'Tony's Theme'. There's some cool punky songs, more alternative stuff. Good album.
Actually really love this. 60s. Some covers of songs I've heard before. Super catchy!
Some nice songs here!
Some good songs, I'm not a fan of hip hop, but I do like some Outkast!
It's 6 hours long, I'm not gonna lie it all started blurring at one point. There's everything here. Harder rock and more indie sound. Probably some goodies to save, but I started giving up around the 3rd disc. One to revisit I think. Few songs per day haha
Loved this album!! Saved!
I love Pink Floyd and yet I somehow never listened to this entire album. An experience isn't it.
Sampled music, only knew 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' but theres some good other songs here. Liked.
Some good songs there. Nothing crazy though!
I'm not into hip hop so was considering skipping it. I listened to a little bit but it was a bit of a drag. Not for me!
Some good stuff. Kind of all sounds the same though!
Pretty good, mellow. Kind of same same indie though.
not my fav gorillaz album, but a goodie nonetheless!
okay but the whole album not totally my style.
Super funky pop, some really great tunes! Loved the last instrumental track so much!
It's the OG passenger album. Some great songs here!!
as much as I always say I don't like country there's some really nice songs here. Especially the first few on the album plus Master's Call
Some really cool songs in the middle of the album. Starts slow but picks up!
It’s Kate Bush innit. Hounds of Love is kinda funny, Running Up That Hill is a classic. Some of the songs are super fucking weird.
Soo not my thing. Listened to half of the album and gave up. Nah. All same same and I just don’t care, sorry
Hip Hop. Again so not my thing. And while there are some songs I don't actively hate it's just not something I listen to or I'd like to listen to again!
Kind of chill indie folk I guess. Nice, but nothing too special imo.
Very very funky! Love it!
I've never listened to this album by Leonard Cohen before. It's a beautiful experience. Very raw.
okay, nice to listen nothing stands out
I'm not sure how to place this album genre wise. Kind of weird, choiry and acapella but not really. Weird vibe that changes with each song. Hmm.
heck yeah!! super funky and my vibe. 80s kind of, lovee it
nice, pop-y, I like it. short album as well so an easy listen.
A bit of a samesie alternative rock album. Not bad, but nothing ground breaking!
hip hop, considering I'm not a big fan of it there's some head bopping songs still. But wouldn't listen to it again tbh.
some nice songs, some country? interesting but im not exactly sure whats the genre here!
bIt's the most famous album by Joy Division innit. A classic.
its a bunch of well known songs played on bongos XDD not that bad lol. i thought it was gonna be much worse tbh
Quite varied songs, some really nice ones notably 'I Can't Help Myself' and 'Flesh of my Flesh'. Mostly poppy, some reggae influence. Overall nice, easy to listen album.
Not really the type of music I listen to. I gave it a go, but it was quite painful. On par with Taylor Swift for me so. Also literally all the lyrics are about sex it's not very inspiring...
I skipped the live bits because I'm not a huge fan of live recordings. But other than that a great album. Love Janis Joplin, so this is a great listen. With maybe an exception of only few songs from this album that are just -too country- for my personal taste. Great listen though.
Not bad, but just not my kind of music. Rap/Hip-Hop doesn't do it for me on regular. Feels very monotone. I did give it a go to be fair. But yeah not my thing.
Nice album, easy to listen. I can't hear the vocals though. It's vaguely pop-y, but in a nice way.
Very nice album. Saved to listen to again. Blues-rock, I like!
Interesting. I like the last song, but it's 17 minutes long haha. A quiet, melodic album.
Never listened to a full album from Oasis before. Obviously like everyone I know Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger, but there's some other songs here that are quite nice (like Hello).
I mean it's Beatles isn't it. I've heard most of these songs before, but was still surprised by some bits, such as Revolution 9... I thought the album ended and I got some random psychedelic band on. Helter Skelter was much 'harder' than I remembered too.
Unfortunately only 4 songs available to listen on Spotify. I found the rest on Youtube. A great album, very funky. I love it!!
I don't think I've ever listened to this album in full. I like metal and I like Korn, so +1 here. I'll probably listen to all of their other albums! It just never seemed like a right time, but why tf not?! Either way has some weird rappy bits but overall a solid album.
A great afrobeat, funky, jazzy af album. Great stuff!!
Not a usual kind of music I listen to, but it was pleasant enough. The songs were quite long and I was losing interest about 3/4 way through though.
I mean it's a good and a classic album, but it's all very samey/samey. Some good songs on there still
Good punk album, reminds me of Sex Pistols a bit
Super chill reggae sounds, love it! Don't think I'd have checked this one out without this, so I'm really glad!
Love this album! I only ever recalled Supertramp from 'jokey' songs but there's some seriously good gems on this. (Bloody Well Right)
Amazing soul/blues album. We all know some of the songs from this, but there's so many good gems too.
Solid album of oriental, indian music. My favourite was Sagar (The Ocean)
I was obsessed with this album as a teenager. Still slaps. Still remember the lyrics haha
What a peculiar album... Feels like every song is from a different genre and artist even. Got some psychedelic, some hip hop. Loads of really good instrumentals and funky sounds. It's a bit of a journey, I really liked it. Super chill at the end.
a bit of an unhinged album, but I like it. Fav song We Will Fall, Ann, Little Doll
Not very memorable album, but an easy listen.
I know it's Bob Dylan but I'm not a huge fan. Very important artist and all that, but it's just not for me. The harmonica is too much...
I liked Jamming and Punky Reggae Party the most. Theres a time and płace for reggae for sure!
What a weird album. There's some really good songs on it but also the most unhinged things lol. Big variety of genre blending too. Very interesting.
Seems like the lyrics are much more interesting and with a message than most hip hop, but again. Not my kind of music at all, I gave half of it a go.
Good album, nice easy and mellow. +1
nah. what the hell is this. everything i dislike in music in one album i guess? couldn't really listen to it all, its not good.
Everyone's heard 'Where is my Mind?', but it was nice to discover other songs on this album that I liked such as 'Bone Machine' and 'Tony's Theme'. There's some cool punky songs, more alternative stuff. Good album.
Nice album, I've never heard of Little Richard before, but this made me read up on him and wow, I had no idea that this was such an influential musician. Would listen to again
I like quite a few The Chemical Brothers songs, but not really many of the ones on this album. I've never heard it before and the only one that I partially liked was 'It Doesn't Matter' and 'Get Up On It Like This', but I wouldn't listen to this album again
There's some good songs on this, but honestly a lot of them sound quite similar and samey-same. Still, would probably listen to again.
I used to be absolutely obsessed with this album as a teenager. My favourite of theirs with all the classics and yet I had to relisten to some of the songs as I couldn't recognise them, oops. Solid.
Good album but nothing special for me personally. Some solid well known tracks and obviously it's iconic band but yea
I’m not gonna lie but the voice and the way she sings so very out of tune it’s super grating. I don’t hate it as much as some of the albums presented so far, so a 2. But it’s just not it
I've heard a few songs before such as 'Blister In The Sun', but overall its not a very memorable album for me personally.
Loads of songs with samples from famous other song and new lyrics. As much as I like nu metal this is a bit of a hit and miss album for me with exception of select songs. Still, would give it a go again
Nice album, would listen to again. But nothing really popped out to me.
1991 and look at them setting trends of naming everything in lowercase. i thought this would all be very edgy and all, but actually surprisingly chill songs here. i like 'touched'
I don’t know how to classify any of this but I loved this album. Good find!
Chill vibes, cool songs. I like it. Idk house I guess?
Good album, nothing that really sticks out for me though
My favourite and probably only album by Guns N' Roses that I've listened to in entirety beforehand even though I've loved the band for years.
Crazy weird album, I think I like their newer stuff more though.
I didn't know what to expect. This album is full of all kinds of different genres I feel. There's some songs I really liked and some I didn't vibe with at all. All in all, solid 4.
Really cool album. Actually never heard about Harry Nilsson and there’s deffo more great music to discover there!
I’m surprised I liked this album as much as I did. Some great tracks there with mixed genres. Turns out that I can’t say I don’t like country music anymore haha
I like Amy’s sound but the lyrics are definitely dated oof. I skipped live renditions as well. Overall I like it, but again since the singing is quite slow and you can hear the lyrics I'm just slightly disappointed by those haha.
Heavy, heavy. A lot of screaming haha. I saved a few songs (Roots Bloody Roots, Ratamahatta, Straighthate)
Not my kind of music in general, but a good album from what I could hear. Some interesting samples and lyrics!
Love Nirvana, great album.
Actually really good album, favs: Zoo Station, One, The Fly, Acrobat, Love is Blindness
this is a good title for this album. Very chill ambient sounds. I liked it.
Super chill, be try experimental and samply. Really like it. Favs: Stem/Long Stem, Organ Donor, Napalm Brain/ Scatter Brain
Jazz, blues. Nice stuff. But a bit too much for me all in a row. Fav songs: The Big Apple, Inner Crisis, Maesha
An interesting and eclectic album, with some country inspiration sometimes. Favourite songs: What's the World Got in Store, Hotel Arizona, Sunken Treasure, Someday Soon, Dreamer in my Dreams
Great album, love all the songs tbh. Some weird lyrics, but it's the 80s no? eh.
Great album, love it. There's just something about Curtis Mayfield's sound that I loooove so much.
Mix of rock, blues and even country? Nice and short listen.
Another great album by The Temptations. Great stuff. Fav songs: Papa Was a Rollin' Stone, Do Your Thing, Love Woke Me Up This Morning, I Ain't Got Nothin'
Beyond Zero and Heads Will Roll, there's not many memorable tracks. I liked Faces and the acoustic version of Little Shadow, but it's nothing special really.
Not too remarkable of an album. Favourite songs: My Body Is a Cage, Black Wave/Bad Vibrations, Windowsill
Some nice songs, but some weird ones. I liked Cult of Personality and Desperate People.
Hmm, nothing special. Not sure what to think it's really unremarkable and kind of bad.... in my opinion. And I love rock. So idk. I saved Drop Out and On A Rope
I actually liked this album a lot. It mixes soul and r&b with rap (which is my not so favourite), but does so in an interesting way. I'm surprised that I liked some of those specifically rap tracks. Good stuff. Favourite songs: Ex-Factor, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, I Used To Love Him
Had no idea who the band was so based on the cover thought it would be rap(again). I was pleasantly surprised by very funky soul album. Loved it. I don’t think there’s any misses here! Favourite songs: Just Like A Baby, Family Affair, Thank You For Talkin’ To Me Africa
Really nice rock album. Will listen to again! Fav songs: Just What I Needed, I’m In Touch With Your World, All Mixed Up
Very weird album haha. I had pretty high expectations after the first few tracks but I feel like it went a bit downhill from there. Kind of typical British 80s sound (plus the weirdness). Does the vocalist want to fuck bugs? Sure sounds like!! Fav tracks: Dog Eat Dog, Ants Invasion
Wow very cool, saved!! Deffo gonna play this when trying to focus, I loved loads of tracks from this: Xtal, Tha, I, Ptolemy, Actium
As usual the lyricism in Leonard Cohen's ballads is unmatched. His voice is amazing and yes it's half spoken but that somehow makes it better? Favourite songs: A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes, The Partisan, Seems So Long Ago, Nancy
Nice strong metal album. But nothing standing out more than others really, a lot of the songs are similar I feel. Fav tracks: Walk, This Love, Hollow
Not really my kind of music but a perfectly fine, mellow and chill little album. Favourite tracks: You Didn't Have To Be So Nice, Nao Bate, O Coracao
An emotional album that deserves few good listens Saved songs: She's Got Her Ticket, For My Lover, Behind The Wall
What a cool and weird album, a whole experience. I'm very into psychedelic rock at the moment and I think I just discovered a new band to listen to all of the albums!! Fav tracks: Brainstorm, Lord of Light, Down Through the Night
I've only heard Sympathy For The Devil from this album before, but tbh there's nothing very remarkable about it. Ah sorry there's an extremely creepy song about wanting to fuck a 13 year old right. Saved songs: Sympathy For The Devil, Jigsaw Puzzle, Salt Of The Earth
Hmm, quite ballady album with a rare heavier song. Not my type of listening music, but a good album nonetheless. Fave songs: Pictures of Me, Cupid's Trick, 2:45 AM
Album starts very weird and extremely disjointed, but it gets better. Those first few tracks I didn't really enjoy but in the end it's a yes from me and they've pulled through hah. At the end album gets weird again! Saved tracks: Fantastic Disaster, Happily Divided, Sister
Nice easy rock. Fav tracks: Witchy Woman, Nightingale, Tryin'
Can't help but judge the album cover here, haha. Whoever cut them out really gave disservice to their hair lol Never heard any of these to my knowledge and I'm surprised by how much I liked it. Having read up a bit on the history of the band and the influence they had on the music forward this definitely belongs on the list. Quite an easy, short listen, which I enjoyed. Saved songs: You've Got Love, That'll Be The Day, Oh Boy!
Another Amy Winehouse album, I enjoyed this one more than 'Frank', but still it's the same vibe mostly. It's a bit more lively I guess. But overall, I'm not a huge fan of hers. Saved tracks: Back to Black, Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Love Is A Losing Game, Tears Dry On Their Own
I'm not big into country music and I'm well aware of that. But going through this challenge of listening of all these albums has definitely opened me up to this genre. Loretta's singing is beautiful, has mildly repetitive lyrics (I assume this is due to the era). I can appreciate it for what it is, but being said probably wouldn't listen again. Saved tracks: The Shoe Goes On The Other Foot Tonight, I Can't Keep Away From You, Tomorrow Never Comes, Get What 'Cha Got and Go
Never heard any of his stuff before. A quaint album with interesting lyricism. Saved tracks: The Endless Plain Of Fortune, Macbeth, Paris 1919, Graham Greene
Love Fleetwood Mac and love this album. What a classic. Fav songs: Dreams, Go Your Own Way, The Chain, You Make Loving Fun, Gold Dust Woman
Very calm, chill start to the album, a bit country a bit indie. Not too sure about the vocals I think the songs could sound much better if the singer, gave more fucks? I liked the heavier tracks and particularly enjoyed Transylvania Blues. Saved tracks: Room Games and Diamond Rain, I Remember Me, Transylvania Blues
As much as it's not my kind of music this is an iconic album. The entire thing in one go was a bit much, but truth be told I never had a listen to the whole thing! Saved tracks: ...Baby One More Time, (You Drive Me) Crazy, E-Mail My Heart, The Beat Goes On, I Will Be There
What a brilliant album. Jazzy, funky. Loved it. It's only 4 songs, so I'm saving the whole thing, but my favourite was Watermelon Man and Chameleon
Nice Bowie album, never heard the whole thing in its entirety. Has its quirks! Saved songs: Changes, Life On Mars?, Quicksand, Song For Bob Dylan
Very interesting album. Unusually loads of short songs where some feel coherent in regards to the next ones and seamlessly blend, and where some feel like a completely different genre entirely. Definitely worth another listen. Saved songs: D.'s Car Jam/Anxious Mo-Fo, Cohesion, It's Expected I'm Gone, Corona
What an interesting album. In parts his singing reminds me of Leonard Cohen, in parts I can't place it! Some of the songs flow in together, some feel like different albums entirely Saved tracks: Margaret-Tiger Rug, Weighted Down (The Prison Song), War In Peace, Dixie Peach Promenade (Yin for Yang), Grey/Afro
Interesting album, the first few songs didn't buy me but then it got much better. Saved tracks: National Anthem, How To Disappear Completely, Optimistic, Idioteque, Untitled, Motion Picture Soundtrack
Very country in spots, so I was surprised this is English artist. Some very good instrumental moments here and there, but overall nothing special Saved tracks: Can You Heal Us (Holy Man), All The Pictures On The Wall, Holy Man - Reprise, Hung Up
I’m really torn with this album. The vocals absolutely suck. I don’t know what it is about the vocalist’a voice but I just can’t stand it. I think if the delivery was different I would like it more, because I love psychedelic rock in general and this is slightly reminiscent of those classics from the 60s, but at the same time more modern. I’m enjoying the bits where there’s just instruments playing. The vocals are really not it. Saved tracks: Roadrunner, Old World, Pablo Picasso, Hospital
Surprised by how much I enjoyed this as I don't usually seek out ska or similar. Very interesting album that feels like it changes with every song. I'll deffo give this another listen! Saved tracks: Man at C&A, Stereotype/Stereotype, Pt.2, Holiday Fortnight, I Can't Stand It, International Jet Set
An interesting album, basically all samples. Best listened in a row as there's smooth transitions between songs, still I've liked certain bits more than the otehrs. Saved songs: Since I Left You, Flight Tonight, A Different Feeling, Frontier Psychiatrist, Live At Dominoes
My first full Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds full album listen. I expected something heavier from the sporadic songs I've heard. Sounds like Leonard Cohen in some parts and songs. Saved tracks: Lime Tree Arbour, There is a Kingdom, Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere?, Idiot Prayer, Far from Me
Love it, a classic hard rock sound! Saved tracks: Waitin' for the Bus, Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers, Master of Sparks, La Grange,
Never heard of this artist before, not sure how! An interesting album with a melancholic but punkish twist. I like it Saved songs: Good Fortune, The Whores Hustle And The Hustlers Whore, This Mess We're In, We Float, This Wicked Tongue
Kind of typical 60s subject matter, all about love and heartbreak, dated lyrics especially in the opening song. If you ignore that there's some nice sounds there. Their singing voices are really good and complementary though, which I can definitely appreciate. Saved tracks: Baby What You Want Me To Do, Love Hurts, Cathy's Clown
This is the first hip hop album that I truly liked from all of the ones I've had to listen during this challenge. So upbeat and groovy! Pity it's not on Spotify! Some weirder tracks on the second half of the album, but overall really good. Favourite tracks: The Magic Number, Change in Speak, Ghetto Thang, Tread Water, Me Myself and I, Plug Tunin
Wish I'd seen them live, classic album!
Nice album, I somehow never listened to the whole thing before! Saved tracks: Elevate Me Later, Unfair, Range Life
Nice album, actually really enjoyed most of it. Clearly loads of Beatles influence but they definitely have their own sound in some of the songs. Forget That Girl, Shades of Gray, Randy Scouse Git, Love to Love, All of Your Toys
Nice electronic music album, I really liked it. Saved tracks: So Easy, Roykskopp's Night Out, Remind Me, She's So, 40 Years Back / Come
Never heard of this band before, really loved the album. There's a hint of psychedelic rock in there that just speaks to me! Saved tracks: Marquee Moon, Elevation, Prove It, Torn Curtain
I'm not a big fan of live recordings of this sort, but as someone who likes psychedelic and progressive rock this is a pretty fun one nonetheless. Saved tracks: The Curse of Baba Yaga, The Hut of Baba Yaga - Pt. 2, The Great Gates of Kiev
No I just couldn’t get through this. I think this is my new least favourite genre from today
Unfortunately not all of the tracks are available on Spotify. Cheery and joyful album! Liked it :) Saved tracks: Honey Chile, Blue Monday, La La
Nice album with some very weird songs lyrically (creeped me out a bit). Good listen though Saved tracks: Play In The Sunshine, Housequake, It, Hot Thing, The Cross
I’ve only ever heard ‘All My Loving’ and ‘Please Mister Postman’ before, but there’s actually quite a few good songs. It’s Beatles after all Saved songs: It Won’t Be Long, Don’t Bother Me, Hold Me Tight
Another album by Talking Heads. Good stuff as usual in my opinion. Saved tracks: Paper, Cities, Life During Wartime, Memories Can’t Wait, Heaven
The album that gave us Closer, but is so much more than that. It takes a bit to warm up in my opinion but Closer till the end is just bangers Saved tracks: Closer, Ruiner, A Warm Place, Eraser, Reptile, Hurt
I love psychedelic rock and this album is quite a cool mix of that and other genres. Good stuff Saved tracks: Sunshine Superman, Season of the Witch, The Trip, The Fat Angel
What a surprising album. I had no idea what it's gonna be at all, but I really loved it. It's a beautiful blend of genres and sounds. Of course I don't understand what the songs are about at all, but it's just amazing arrangement. Love it! Saved tracks: Svefn-g-englar, Ný batterí, Hjartað hamast (bamm bamm bamm), Viðrar vel til loftárása, Avalon
Great album, catchy songs. Saved tracks: Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song), The Stranger, Vienna, Get It Right the First Time
Unfortunately unavailable on Spotify for me... Had to listen on YouTube which is a pity. I've not had opportunity to listen to much Neil Young beside a stray song here or there. I like the more rocky and less country songs on this album. Fav tracks: World on a String, Come on Baby Let's Go Downtown, Albuquerque, Lookout Joe, Tired Eyes
Wikipedia says this is 'post-hardcore', I like it, but probably not for background music! Saved tracks: Repeater, Brendan 1, Two Beats Off, Styrofoam, Break-In
I'm not a big fan of Latino music, but this is an interesting amalgamation of different genres packaged in a neat album with a coherent sound throughout Saved tracks: Tudo Que Você Podia Ser, Saídas e Bandeiras Nº 1, Dos Cruces
My third Leonard Cohen album that I'm rating through this challenge now. As a fan of his music, I definitely liked it. Heart wrenching lyrics in some, all delivered in the signature voice. Good stuff Saved tracks: 'Suzanne', 'Sisters of Mercy', 'So Long, Marianne', 'Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye', 'Stories of the Street', 'One of Us Cannot Be Wrong'
Enjoyed this one surprising amount. I'm not really a folk fan, but this definitely had its moments. I even liked the bits with the flute lol. Saved tracks: And It Stoned Me, Moondance, Everyone, Glad Tidings
Not bad, as someone with extremely eclectic taste I deffo enjoyed this Saved tracks: Dreamin', Soft Machine, Hypnotise, From: Disco To: Disco, Sometimes, Music Makes You Lose Control - Lrd Remix
A short pleasant listen that starts off great. A chill album with varied sound, really liked it Saved tracks: Rikki Don't Lose That Number, East St. Louis Toodle-Oo, Parker's Band, With Gun, Monkey In Your Soul
Hmm I've never heard of this guy before, but listening I through this I wasn't particularly impressed. Every song sounds very similar to the first one. His singing voice is nothing special either. Saved tracks: "Senior Service", "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding"
Never listened to this Yeah Yeah Yeahs album before. I've only heard their later music and enjoyed it so. This album is much 'harder' than I expected. Pleasantly surprised, as I had no idea their roots were in this post-punk, neo-grunge, alt-rock vibe. Love this. Saved tracks: Rich, Date With The Night, Maps, Y Control
Great album with smart lyrics and great sound. Saved tracks: Victoria, Shangri-La, Mr Churchill Says, Plastic Man, Mindless Child of Motherhood
I like American Idiot as much as the other person. But this album? Thought I'd like it, but uhhh it's very repetitive... and just plain whiney. "When I Come Around" is ripping off a famous riff but I can't remember which one Saved tracks: Chump, When I Come Around
What a bizarre album. I really liked some of the songs, but some were a complete flop for me. Lots of screaming and very disjointed instruments all over. Quite a long one too with 32 songs. Saved tracks: Wail, Fuck Shit Up, Hot Shit, R.L. Got Soul, Sticky
Surprised how varied the album is! Don’t start that strong with the opening track but it definitely picked up imo Saved songs: Richard III, Late In The Day, G-Song, You Can See Me, Sometimes I Make You Sad
When this came out I was too edgy and disliked pop for the sake of disliking it lmao. Actually quite a nice album, easy listen for sure, varied songs and I'm surprised how much of it I liked. Saved tracks: Sober, Homemade Dynamite, The Louvre, Sober II (Melodrama)
As much as I don't like hip hop I enjoyed this album, yeah it's very repetitive but it's not as painful as some modern rap I had to listen to through this challenge Saved tracks: Hard Times, Rock Box, It's Like That, 30 Days
Consistently great album, love Depeche Mode. Loved all of the tracks on these. Stand outs: World In My Eyes, Sweetest Perfection, Personal Jesus, Halo, Enjoy the Silence, Clean
I already rated this album, weird that I got it again when I joined the group. Either way this is not my favourite Arcade Fire album. There's some good tracks on it, but it's not very remarkable imo Saved songs: My Body Is a Cage, Black Wave/Bad Vibrations, Windowsill
I'm not really a fan of pop music and hardly a fan of Mariah Carey. Still, this wasn't as agonizing as I expected it to be. Saved tracks: Honey, My All, The Roof (Back In Time)
Absolutely brilliant experimental album. I loved how it became less and less “coherent”, more out there with each song. Saved tracks: I Ain’t Got No Heart, Go Cry On Somebody Else’s Shoulder, Motherly Love, You Didn’t Try To Call Me, Anyway The Wind Blows, I’m Not Satisfied
Very interesting punk album with some synth influence? I liked it Saved tracks: Identity, I Am a Poseur, Warrior in Woolworths, I Cant Do Anything, Highly Inflammable
Not really big on country, though this is a pleasant enough album Saved tracks: Willy the Wandering Gypsy and Me, Black Rose
Brillliant album, I don't think I've ever listened to the whole thing before but it's definitely worth it! Saved tracks: Purple Haze, Love Or Confusion, I Don't Live Today, Fire, Foxey Lady, Red House
I don’t know how I’ve never realised that Pearl Jam rocks pretty hard? Sick album Saved tracks: Once, Alive, Oceans, Garden
I've only ever Hurt from this and it remains my favourite song from this album. Hmm, so potentially unpopular opinion, but why is spoken word considered music? But only done by certain artists. Oh well. Either way album with quite a lot of covers, some are misses for me tbh. Saved tracks: Hurt, First Time I Saw Your Face, Sam Hall, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, Tear Stained Letter
Never heard of this and didn't really enjoy it to be honest. On paper I should have liked it as hard rock/metal, but here we are Saved tracks: Obvious, Then She Did..., Classic Girl
I'm being tested by 1001 Albums Gods, cause I recently said that I actually started liking country music thanks to this challenge. Well. This was a hard, hard listen for the most part. Had to actually split it cause all that country at once was bound to fucking break me. Still listening to the second half was much better and I think that’s where the best tracks are
Solid album. Love the cat on the cover!! Lots of stuff I've heard before and didn't realise they were covers of Carole's stuff! Saved tracks: I Feel the Earth Move, Wil You Love Me Tomorrow?, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Never really listened to this album before, but I like progressive rock, so an interesting and nice listen for me. Really liked "In The Cage" Saved tracks: Fly On A Windshield, In The Cage, Cuckoo Cocoon, Hairless Heart, Carpet Crawlers, The Chamber Of 32 Doors, The Lamia, The Light Dies Down On Broadway
Haunting and beautiful, good listen. Saved tracks: River Man, Way To Blue, Fruit Tree
We all know this one of course, but I haven't heard a few of the songs. My saved tracks: Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!, When I'm Sixty Four, A Day In The Life
Not bad, but definitely not best from Iggy. Saved tracks: Nightclubbing, Baby
This is good stuff, I really liked the entirety of the album. Stand outs: I Bleed, Tame, Wave of Mutilation, `no 13 Baby, Hey
I've started liking folk more due to this challenge and I like some songs off of this but it kind of becomes samey after listening to the whole thing Saved tracks: Wild World, Longer Boats, Into White
A bizarre album, with some nice songs, though it feels a bit low production value, quite distorted in not a good way. Saved tracks: Terrapin, Love You, No Man's Land, Octopus
Ah not my thing, I bet this is groundbreaking if you like classical music and whatnot but I just didn't vibe with it. Too disjointed for me. Saved tracks: Little Italy
Such lovely album and such lovely voice. While the songs sounded quite similar to each other I really enjoyed the whole thing in a row. Saved tracks: I'm A Fool To Want You, The End Of A Love Affair
I've enjoyed this album, but some of these songs go on for just a bit too long.. Saved tracks: Keep On Growing, Nobody Knows When You're Down And Out, I Am Yours, Key To The Highway, Little Wing, Layla
Not really my kind of music. I tried listening through it but it all sounds the same. And while I felt there were some songs I liked in the first part they were all wayyy too long and would just go downhill in the second part. so I gave up in the first half of the album Saved songs: State of Mind, Sea of Tears
Not my type of music, was trying to give it a good go, but had to skip some. Saved tracks: If I Were A President, Soul Flower, Passin’ Me By
Ha I loved this! Upbeat, 80s, a bit poppy a bit disco, cool stuff! Really liked the whole thing Saved songs: Love Plus One, Kingsize (You're My Little Steam Whistle), Baked Beans, Calling Captain Autumn
I remain not biggest country fan, but this was a pleasant enough listen for as long as I could handle it. I like the songs that don’t have too much honky tonk in them which is unfortunately hard to find. Ray’s voice is great though Saved tracks: Night Life, Pride
Love ABBA, some of my fav songs on this album as well!!
I think this is my favourite The Who album Saved tracks: Baba O'Riley, Bargain, Going Mobile, Behind Blue Eyes
Brilliant album, proper shredding, proper heavy!!! Saved tracks: Holy Wars... The Punishment Due, Hangar 18, Five Magics, Poison Was The Cure, Tornado Of Souls
Really loved this. Super funky and just sliiiick. Saved tracks: 1999, Let's Pretend We're Married, D.M.S.R., Automatic, Free
Two ABBA albums almost one after the other? Love it! There's a lot of songs I've never heard on this album, so let's see. Didn't particularly like the titled song. Loads of really good songs, but some serious misses as well imo (You Owe Me One). Saved tracks: Head Over Heels, Soldiers, One Of Us, Two For The Price Of One, Should I Laugh Or Should I Cry, Under Attack, The Day Before You Came
This is a no from me Dawg (Dwight)
Nothing groundbreaking or big standouts here for me. I've definitely heard other songs by Brian Eno that were more interesting than anything on this album. I did save these songs: Kurt's Rejoinder, King's Lead Hat
Had this album already. My original review: When this came out I was too edgy and disliked pop for the sake of disliking it lmao. Actually quite a nice album, easy listen for sure, varied songs and I'm surprised how much of it I liked. Saved tracks: Sober, Homemade Dynamite, The Louvre, Sober II (Melodrama)
Not a big fan of hip hop, these are obviously very well thought out lyrics but I'm also not big into listening to lyrics so not gonna be analyzing that. Saved songs: Welcome To The Terrordome, Pollywanacracka, Final Count Of The Collision Between Us And The Damned
Had this album before. Original review: Bunch of Queen songs I've never heard here. Great stuff. Saved tracks: Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To...), I'm In Love With My Car, '39, The Prophet's Song
Enjoyed this a lot more than expected, very cool album with a sort of ambient electronic Latino vibe. Saved tracks: Queremos Paz, Triptico, Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre), El Capitalismo Foraneo
Great chill ambient album. Perfect background music imo. Saved tracks: Pipes Honour, Groove St., (Man) Tha Journey, Cruise(Don't Stop)
I've never really went in on blues music specifically, but I absolutely loved this album, almost every song from it in fact. The collaborations are quite nice as well. I think I'll do a bit of a deep dive into other albums by John Lee Hooker now Saved tracks: The Healer, I'm In The Mood, Baby Lee
Proper trash metal. Good stuff!! Saved songs: I Am The Law, Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.),Medley: A.D.I. / Horror Of It All, Imitation Of Life
A lot of The Smashing Pumpkins songs can sound very similar, so I do enjoy when there's some standouts, like in the second half of this album. It's a nice listen Saved tracks: Rocket, Disarm, Geek U.S.A., Sweet Sweet
Very “emo” lyrics, with beautiful music and Elliott’s haunting vocals. Loved this. Saved tracks: Junk Bond Trader, Everything Means Nothing To Me, In The Lost And Found (Honky Bach) / The Roost, Wouldn’t Mama Be Proud
Bunch of Queen songs I've never heard here. Great stuff. Saved tracks: Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To...), I'm In Love With My Car, '39, The Prophet's Song
What an amazing album. The full experience is brilliant. Saved tracks: Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels), Neighborhood #2 (Laika), Wake Up, Haiti, Rebellion (Lies)
Brilliant album, brilliant first song. Absolutely loved it. Prog rock at its best Saved songs: 2112:Overture..., The Twilight Zone, Something For Nothing
This album absolutely belongs on this list, no doubt about it. That being said I’m not a huge fan, when listening to the album in one go it’s very monotone. Saved songs: Can’t We Be Friends?, I’ll Be Around, It Never Entered My Mind
What an interesting album. I also read up a bit on this artist and I'm really interested in trying his other works Saved tracks: Get on Top, Sweet Surrender, Hong Kong Bar, Make It Right
Wasn't too sure about this with the first few songs, but it really went off in the right direction imo. Interesting mix of punk, psychedelia and other things I'm not quite educated to name. Good stuff. Saved songs: Breaking Down, Creature Of Doom, It's The Truth, As My Wife Says
A pleasant background album but nothing extremely memorable here for me Saved tracks: Smooth Operator, When Am I Going to Make a Living, I Will Be Your Friend
Very interesting album. I’ve heard potentially one Manu Chao song before and a friend of mine has been recommending his music. Finally having listened to it, I definitely enjoyed this. Catchy and fun Saved tracks: Clandestino, Bongo bong, Je ne t’aime plus, Welcome to Tijuana
Wholly unremarkable album, actually skipped one song as it sounded like static? Saved tracks: Just Like Honey, It’s So Hard
Absolutely mad album... Extremely discordant and just weird af Saved tracks: The Dim Locator, Several Sins, 6" Gold Blade
It’s Tina Turner alright!! Good stuff obviously. My faves: Show Some Respect, Private Dancer, Steel Claw, 1984, I Wrote A Letter, When I Was Young
It's interesting, but feels a bit random. Got fully instrumental bluesy bits, got solo vocals and duo. Saved tracks: Me Ship Came In!, My Ever Changing Moods, Headstart For Happiness
What a beautiful album, a trandescendal experience imo. Also my favourite Radiohead album for sure Favourite tracks: 15 Step, All I Need, Reckoner, Jigsaw Falling Into Pieces
First time listening to an album by Stevie Wonder on purpose. I enjoyed the funky bits more as they were livelier but overall really good album Saved tracks: Living For The City, All In Love Is Fair, Higher Ground
This album is very much in my current phase of listening. I've heard the first track before and really loved it. The whole lot is psych 60s rock stuff, so very enjoyable for me Saved tracks: Alone Again Or, A House Is Not a Motel, Live and Let Live, You Set the Scene
I found Blur to be quite overrated... I think this is a bloated album. Can't stand all of the songs where the vocalist is belting them out just no thank you. Saved tracks: You're So Great, Death of a Party, I'm Just a Killer for Your Love, Strange News from Another Star
Sigh. Of course this website does this to me. I really don't enjoy Christmas music or Christmas in general. Eh. Obviously a sound album and I'm sure a beloved one for most. Great line up of artists here etc etc. Still I'm not gonna put myself through this sorry!
Too poppy, too country (not in a nice way) for me. Doesn't feel particularly special or that I needed to listen to this before I die.. Most songs sounded exactly the same. And since this is something I don't enjoy listening to it was mildly excruciating. Saved songs that were slightly better imo? Butterflies, Velvet Elvis
Good album and would love to see some of these live but tbf not something I could listen to on regular basis anymore. Saved tracks: …And Justice For All, One, The Shortest Straw, The Frayed Ends Of Sanity, To Live Is To Die
uhhh... what the fuck was this? I don't understand how this is so highly rated or how his music is so popular? Feels like Mr K L is not sure what he's trying to create here. The only song I slightly like was King Kunta
Ah really liked this, strong (post?)punk album. Glad I discovered it Saved tracks: Green, Vicky’s Box, America (She Can’t Say No), Cry Baby Cry
Not the best Black Sabbath album at all imo, but it has some strong songs still. Saved tracks: Tomorrow's Dream, Supernaut, Snowblind, Under The Sun / Every Day Comes and Goes
There’s a lot of stuff by Kraftwerk that I really enjoy, but this wasn’t one of those things particularly.. very repetitive and just long (even though it’s under 45 minutes) Saved tracks: Showroom Dummies, Abzug
In all honesty I've never really delved into Presley's music, only heard whatever most famous songs in passing. Surprisingly I liked quite a lot from this! Saved tracks: Blues Suede Shoes, One-Sided Love Affair, I'll Never Let You Go (Little Darlin'), Blue Moon - Take 9/M
What a fun album, I enjoyed this thoroughly! Especially the livelier tracks full of unhinged noises haha It was a bit much in one go, but having split the listening in two worked quite well! Saved tracks: 'Oh, Marie', 'Jump, Jive, An' Wail' ,'Night Train', 'Five Months, Two Weeks, Two Days'
Not bad but honestly drags for way too long. Saved tracks: oh baby, how do you sleep?, tonite, american dream
Hmm, I can see why this album is on this list and by all accounts should be the one I like. But I just couldn’t get into it. Sorry, Tommy
A pleasant, short listen. Nothing groundbreaking imo, but good stuff still My stand outs: Fell In Love With a Girl, I Think I Smell a Rat, This Protector
I’m not particularly a fan of folk music, but i am a fan of psych rock from the 60s so, that’s what saved this one for me (in some moments). But overall I probably won’t listen to it again Saved tracks: Matty Groves, Tam Lin, Crazy Man Michael
I didn't use to like reggae, but thanks to this challenge my taste has definitely expanded to include it! This album is really great, love the mix of different genres influencing, definitely getting loads of soul and even jazzy vibes. Good stuff. Saved songs: Lively Up Yourself, No Woman No Cry, Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Roadblock), Am-A-Do
A classic, so good! Favourite tracks: Five Years, Moonage Daydream, Starman, Star, Ziggy Stardust
Cool album, reading about its history and the story of the band makes it all the more interesting! Saved songs: Shut Up, I Hate You, Oh How To Do Now, Pretty Suzanne
Smooth ambient album, but hardly memorable Saved tracks: Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder), Dancewitme, …Till The Cops Come Knockin’
Not a huge fan of Michael Jackson overall, but I've discovered some tracks I've never heard before. And obviously this is an iconic album! Stand outs: Bad, Another Part Of Me, Dirty Diana
2 hours album.. too long for one sitting that’s for certain. That being said this is a very good album. I appreciate the parts of Beatles on their own much more than when they sing together. Also I really enjoyed the instrumentals ngl Saved tracks: My Sweet Lord, What Is Life, If Not For You, Beware Of Darkness, Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll), Awaiting On You All, I Remember Jeep
A wholly unassuming album. A pleasant little listen, but nothing remarkable about it in my opinion Saved tracks: Tellin’ Stories, Area 51, Rob’s Theme
Not a fan of gangsta rap at all, a lot of it just feels the same and I don’t particularly care for the lyrics (when I’m trying to listen to them) Saved tracks: What Up Gangsta, In Da Club, Heat, P.I.M.P.
Really liked this album, never heard of this band before either. Such an eclectic mix of songs, chill album, will definitely listen again! Saved tracks: There Goes The Fear, M62 Song, N.Y., Friday's Dust
Not sure how to classify, it's definitely punky and with a punch. Enjoyed this one! Saved tracks: Natural's Not In It, Damaged Goods, Return the Gift, 5.45
Another Beatles album, at this point I'm not sure which ones I have left ahah! Saved tracks: Something, Octopus's Garden, Golden Slumbers
A wholly unremarkable album, potentially good for some ambient noise, but that’s about it in my opinion
I really enjoyed this, until the instrumentals. Those really dragged on personally. Saved tracks: Zig Zag Wanderer, Abba Zaba, Autumn's Child
Loved it, I can see why they became iconic. Album saved!!
Brilliant album, I've only heard one song from a later album by this band, but yeah. Unexpected and amazing discovery. So eclectic and interesting, love it! Will definitely be coming back to this one, Stand outs: Halfway Home, Crying, Stork & Owl, DLZ
Most of this album isn’t really my thing, though on second listen it grew on me a bit. Think you gotta be in a certain screams mood for it though haha Saved songs: Rebellious Jukebox, Mother-Sister!
Actually didn’t know that Janis Joplin was in this band before her solo career. This is a very solid album and I really enjoyed it Saved tracks: I Need a Man To Love, Piece Of My Heart, Oh Sweet Mary, Ball and Chain
Great album, love the vibe, bought this on vinyl recently!! Saved songs: Money For Nothing, Walk Of Life, Ride Across The River, One World, Brothers In Arms
A shouty punk album, slightly repetitive, but good when you’re in the mood for it Saved tracks: Love Battery, I Don’t Mind, I Need
Quite a bizarre album in my opinion. A bit country maybe? (or is it folk?) basically loads of those string instruments in some parts of it, some parts completely different. I find it hard to judge this one as it took me a good few days to listen to the whole thing, as it's quite long... I don't actively dislike this, and I actually really enjoyed parts of it, but that violin backing is really not doing it for me Saved songs: We Will Not Be Lovers, World Party, Sweet Thing, When Will We Be Married, The Stolen Child, Let Me Feel Holy Again
Not my regular listening and as much as I started not minding some country, this wasn’t my favourite. Some really weird lyrics and loads of “religious overtones” as stated next to some of the song titles Saved tracks: Let Her Go God Bless Her, In The Pines, Thankful
Nice Saved songs: Toys In The Attic, Walk This Way, Big Ten Inch Record, No More No More
Certainly not anything like I’ve heard before. I wasn’t very convinced at the beginning but it grew on me. Obviously it’s very avant hard but very considered. The discordance flows very well at certain moments and at others is extremely jarring. Definitely an experience that somehow made my train journey less dull. Favourite: Track C - Group Dancers
Really enjoyed this album! Never heard of the artist before and I'll definitely be listening to it again. Two Tubs Man is a great track, but I equally enjoyed the first four songs on the album. Saved!
Never listened to this album in its entirety, but heard most of the songs of it for sure. Aside from the big hitters that we know and love, the only one I liked was Bring It On Home. Also dang when you actually listen to the lyrics it’s uhh.. something else eh? Not the best Led Zeppelin album by far
Some interesting arrangements here, not really much stand out stuff though. It's an intersection of music I like (psychedelic) with folk/country which I'm not very keen on at this moment in time Saved tracks: Natural Harmony, Get To You (because of the ending), Dolphin's Smile
A great classic album! Saved tracks: Highway Star, Pictures of Home, Smoke on the Water, Space Truckin’
As someone who's not really big into this genre I found this quite fun. Boppy upbeat sounds, with social commentary, not bad at all. Dragged on a bit by the end. Saved tracks: Mr. Wendal, Natural, Dawn Of The Dreads, Tennessee, Washed Away
Very confused. Wasn't sure what this was trying to be, but it's definitely not rock. At first I was thinking christian rock, then dance? then more christian vibes. Super weird. And definitely too long for what it is... By the last two songs, I was really tired of the whiney voice of the singer. Saved tracks: Slip Inside This House, Higher Than the Sun
Great album, really enjoy Elvis Costello's voice and delivery. Absolutely favourite song from this is 'The Beat' Saved tracks: This Year's Girl, The Beat, You Belong To Me, Hand In Hand, Living In Paradise
This album is SO. FUCKING. WEIRD. Halfway through it turns into weird experimental fuckery lmao! Specifically thinking of 'No Sympathy' here. Up till then it was a vaguely standard not memorable rock album. And then back to slow indie... So bizarre lol Love the cover though Saved tracks: Alternate Route to Vulcan Street, [A] Touch Sensitive
A fun little synth pop album, pleasant listen, not too long. Saved tracks: Soul Warfare, The Height Of The Fighting, Song With No Name
Loved this album. The songs are varied with different styles but it all flows very well Saved tracks: I Will Dare, We’re Comin’ Out, Androgynous, Black Diamond, Temptation Eyes
I think it started off quite strong but petered out very quickly. Potentially it was too long as well. The other half is not memorable at all and I wasn’t even sure if anything was playing at times Saved tracks: Two Weeks, All We Ask, Fine For Now, While You Wait For The Others
Surprisingly enjoyable! I’ve only ever heard” Sexy Boy” before but there’s some other gems on here. Also it’s varied not everything in the same style. I’ve enjoyed electronica more in recent years so, deffo a good album for me! Saved tracks: Kelly Watch the Stars, Talisman, New Star in the Sky
Very slow, quiet and powerful album. Nina Simone’s voice is absolutely amazing Saved songs: I Love Your Lovin’ Ways, Black Is The Color Of My True Loves Hair
Uhhh,,, quite boring and monotone. I lasted about halfway through. Just not a hip hop fan. Still better than Kanye album I was given through this
A bit too country and too folk for me. I liked the second half more Saved tracks: You Got A Reputation, Lazy Days, Pretty Polly
Not my first choice of metal, slightly too screamy, but after a few songs you get used to it be start to enjoy it! Saved tracks: Eyeless, Surfacing, Liberate, No Life, Diluted, (sic) - Molt-Injected Mix
Surprisingly experimental and enjoyable. I preferred the more lively tracks from (mostly) first half of the album, but overall it was a great experience! Saved tracks: We Are The Pigs, Heroine, Daddy's Speeding, The Power, The 2 Of Us, The Asphalt World
Some interesting songs on it. Some of it quite experimental but not my thing. Overall interesting look into early? psychedelic rock Saved tracks: Have You Seen Her Face, It Happens Each Day, Don’t Make Waves
Not a huge hip hop fan, but there were some good beats. Still a lot of it felt incredibly bloated and I was just over it. Too long for me tbh Saved songs: Dooinit, The Light, The Questions
Really not my thing… probably less so than even some of the hip hop albums on this list
Not very keen on the harmonica ngl, but it grew on me and surprised me with some of the songs. Definitely helps that it’s a fairly short album. Saved tracks: Atlantic City, Highway Patrolman, State Trooper
I like some electronic music, I even like some by The Chemical Brothers. That being said this album doesn’t speak to me Saved tracks: Elektrobank, Lost In The K Hole
Enjoyed this one quite a lot, there was enough variety to keep me engaged. Björk's voice is very unique, but it can feel a little bit grating at times, especially when binging the whole album in one go! Saved tracks: Human Behaviour, There Is More to Life Than This, One Day, Come to Me, Play Dead
Not something I'd choose to listen out of blue, but what a great listen! Great blend of funk, soul and bunch of other influences that I can't name. Also interesting read on Wikipedia about this album and Fela Kuti in general.
Though not my favourite Franz Ferdinand album, I've always really enjoyed it. 'Take Me Out' was playing on loop for a while! Fav tracks: Take Me Out, The Dark Of The Matinée, This Fire, Michael, 40'
Don't think I've ever heard this album in its entirety. Super cheesy, but I love it :D reminded me of ABBA at times. What a ride! Saved tracks: Bat Out of Hell, Two Out of Three Ain't Bad, For Crying Out Loud
weird electronic pop with a heavy 80s vibe. A lot of the songs reminded me of CSI intro lol Saved tracks: Tinseltown In The Rain, Heatwave
Krautrock... this album starts off with a vaguely boring long track that feels like it might get interesting any moment now, but just doesn’t get there. My first thought was this was just some early electronica until I read the blurb. A lot of the songs start well imo but devolve into discordant notes and chaos (but not in a cool way). Still by the end of it I'm curious about if maybe there's bands that do it better? or maybe I just start skipping songs when they get messy... Saved tracks: The Sad Skinhead, Just A Second (Starts Like That!) /Picnic On A Frozen River/Deuxieme Tableaux, Giggy Smile
First of all, love the cover sooo much. Had no idea what this was coming in. Don't think I've ever heard anything by The Flaming Lips for that matter. But it starts off great, really enjoying the dreaminess and the addition of electronic bits and subtle piano. Saved songs: Fight Test, One More Robot / Sympathy 3000-21, In the Morning of the Magicians, Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell, Do You Realize??, Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia)
90s alt/indie rock. Not very original but a fun short album Saved tracks: It’s A Shame About Ray, My Drug Buddy, Bit Part, Mrs. Robinson
Not a big fan of country and honky tonk.. that sound in the background is the most annoying part of this genre for me. Still it's way more palatable for me than modern country. Saved tracks: House Of Memories, Whatever Happened To Me, Mary's Mine
Again, already had this album... Previous review: I'm not really a fan of pop music and hardly a fan of Mariah Carey. Still, this wasn't as agonizing as I expected it to be. Saved tracks: Honey, My All, The Roof (Back In Time)
Not a huge fan of this album, I liked some Tom Waits songs in the past but this hasn't wowed me. Saved tracks: Heartattack And Vine, Downtown
I was enjoying parts of this album for sure, but the way it’s jumping all over the place was quite surprising and confusing. Definitely didn’t anticipate the, what like 2 rap tracks in there? So weird lol Saved songs: The Whole Point Of No Return, The Paris Match, My Ever Changing Moods
Had this album before, but a pleasure to listen to again
What a beautiful album. Such strong opening track too. You can feel the rawness and emotions in most of these. I found “For Today I Am A Boy” very powerful, especially after reading up a bit about the band. Saved songs: Hope There’s Someone, For Today I Am A Boy, Spiralling
Nice album, easy listening no huge standouts imo Saved tracks: Metal Guru, Rock On, Telegram Sam, Rabbit Fighter, Main Man
Not my favourite Rolling Stones album. It starts off strong but peters out pretty quickly in my opinion. Additionally not a big fan of the country sound on some of these Saved tracks: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses
Pleasant album! Weird fucking lyrics sometimes but melody wise good stuff. Saved tracks: Mother’s Little Helper, Under My Thumb, Out Of Time, It’a Not Easy, Take It Or Leave It
I had no idea what this was, really enjoyed this album, I found it very interesting. Had a bit of a Bjork vibe Saved tracks: The Last Living Rose, The Glorious Land, Written On The Forehead, On Battleship Hill, Bitter Branches
Pretty sure I've reviewed this album before, still it's a great one and I really liked it both times. Super chill ambient like music. Saved tracks: So Easy, In Space, A Higher Place, She's So
Few cool songs on this, but overall not very impressive either way. I love Alex Turner's voice either way, but nothing crazy here! Saved tracks: Standing Next To Me, Separate And Ever Deadly, My Mistakes Were Made For You
This is a beautiful poignant album.
This is a second Run-D.M.C. album I’ve got through this challenge. The only song I heard before was “It’s Tricky”. A very repetitive album, but with good sounds. Saved tracks: It’s Tricky, Is It Live, Raising Hell, You Be Illin’
Really loved this album!! So ethereal and experimental! Every song felt like it was in a different genre, so unpredictable yet somehow works together. Her vocals are amazing. Saved songs: There Goes A Tenner, Pull Out The Pin, Leave It Open, All The Love, Get Out Of My House
Nice album! Some of it pretty generic but overall, good stuff!! Saved tracks: Connection, Car Song, S.O.F.T, Blue
Already had this album :/ my original review: I've only ever Hurt from this and it remains my favourite song from this album. Hmm, so potentially unpopular opinion, but why is spoken word considered music? But only done by certain artists. Oh well. Either way album with quite a lot of covers, some are misses for me tbh. Saved tracks: Hurt, First Time I Saw Your Face, Sam Hall, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, Tear Stained Letter
Great album!! Short and on the heavy side! Really enjoyed it Saved tracks: Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, I'm The One, Ice Cream Man, On Fire
In the first half of the album I thought there wouldn't be anything I'd like. But it got progressively better. Very, veeery experimental, psychedelic rock, so good stuff overall! You also have to admire the dig at Beatles here lol Saved tracks: What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body?, Absolutely Free, Let's Make The Water Turn Black, Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance
A very pleasant jazzy listen
Not really a fan of hip hop and I'll admit I've never sat down and listened to any Jay-Z stuff. Not bad actually. There's enough interesting musical arrangements in the background to keep me from skipping the songs. I don't normally pay loads of attention to lyrics, but I find it hard to not do so when they're essentially being spoken. Nothing groundbreaking here I'm afraid! Saved tracks: 'Girls, Girls, Girls', 'U Don't Know', 'Hola' Hovito', 'Lyrical Exercise'
Never even heard of Scott Walker before this, had no idea what to expect. With a beautiful orchestra in the background and some amazing lyrics, not to mention Scott's amazing voice, this was a great listen! Dark and brooding, some crooning involved, but not in excess. Really enjoyed this! Saved tracks: Jackie, Black Sheep Boy, The Amorous Humphrey Plugg, Next, Windows Of The World
Good album, with a varied sound Saved tracks: The Good Thing, The Girl Wants To Be With The Girls, The Big Country, Stay Hungry
It's Frank Sinatra, so it obviously belongs on this list. I found this one more interesting than the previous album got, maybe because of Antonio Carlos Jobim. I'm not sure. Saved tracks: 'The Girl From Ipanema', 'Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)', 'Baubles, Bangles And Beads'
Not anything groundbreaking, but a pleasant listen, quite unforgettable in most cases Saved tracks: Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Rolling People, The Drugs Don’t Work, Weeping Willow
I honestly don't know what this is, or what it's trying to be... The only song I know/liked really was 'You Can Call Me Al'. Beside this it's just not my type of music at all.
Good album, really enjoyed it. Definitely sounds like 'The Smiths' without Morrisey (which is not so bad really) Saved songs: Love Goes On!, you Can't Say No Forever, Streets of Your Town, Was There Anything I Could Do?
I'm not the biggest Michael Jackson fun, but this more disco like sound really works for me better than I expected Saved tracks: Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough, Workin' Day and Night, It's the Falling In Love
A completely forgettable experience!! I know One and LIB. That being said, I didn't realise Love Is Blindness is a Bono original. You learn something new everyday! Saved tracks: Zoo Station, So Cruel, Acrobat, Love Is Blindness
This is amazing! What a vibrant live recording... I don't think I've ever enjoyed a live album as much as this. Sounds amazing. I've also read up a bit on Sam Cooke and it's so sad how his life and career ended!! Loved this and loved the audience reactions, truly feels like you're there.
Not a bad album at all, easy listening Saved tracks: Radio Free Europe, Catapult, West Of The Fields
I didn’t really get it, hmm. I don’t know, l likes it but it was hard to get into it really, every song felt like it belongs to a different genre and most of the time I like that. Oh well Saved tracks: Upon 9th And Fairchild, Leaves And Sand, Best Lose the Fear, I’ve Lost the Reason
I didn't come into this expecting I'll enjoy Coldplay album lol. It's actually not too bad considering. Pretty poppy and somehow repetitive sometimes, but I liked it Saved tracks: The Scientist, Clocks, A Whisper, A Rush of Blood to the Head
A weird one for sure. At times I really liked this album, other times meh. It definitely dragged a bit for me. Saved tracks: Do You Compute, New Math, Sinews (Original Version)
Great album, seriously enjoyed it. SO many good songs. Saved tracks: Cecilia Ann, Allison, All Over the World, The Happening
A journey for certain, probably needs few more listens to be appreciated fully Saved tracks: And You And I, America
I never considered myself a Bob Dylan fan, but I gotta admit the more this album went on the more I enjoyed it. It’s a blend of folk and ‘rock and roll’ and bunch of other things I’m not able to name. It’s goood! Saved tracks: Maggie’s Farm, Outlaw Blues, Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream, It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding), It’s All Over Now Baby Blue
Good stuff, feels like it started getting a bit flat in the second half, but still enjoyable Saved tracks: Killing In The Name, Know Your Enemy, Wake Up
Enjoyable album, blend of sounds and genres. Good for background ambient maybe? Saved tracks: Tropicalia, Supercabana, Soy Loco Por Ti America
Ehh not really my cup of tea on a best day. A mix of folk, shanties, parody and sad folk. Sad folk, that's a genre I just came up with. Anyhow not my thing, also decidedly WAY TOO LONG Saved tracks: Bottle of Smoke, Medley: The Recruiting Sergeant/ The Rocky Road To Dublin/ Galway Races, Sketches of Spain
Surprisingly underwhelming. I liked other albums by the Byrds, but this one didn’t particularly wow me Saved tracks: Mr. Spaceman, 2-4-2 Fox Trot, Eight Miles High - alt, Why - alt
I wanted to like this more than I did. It just blended into the background for me in the end! Saved tracks: Seeing Other People, Like Dylan in the Movies, If You're Feeling Sinister
I've heard some songs from this album before, but truth be told never really listened to the whole album. Interesting blend of hip hop and punk? in between each track. Yet somehow it works. I enjoyed it a lot Saved tracks: Tough Guy, Bobo On The Corner, Sabotage, Futterman's Rule, Eugene's Lament, Do It, Shambala
What a great discovery. Love the synth, love the popiness of it. I think my favourite song from this album is Giant, the arrangements work so well! Saved tracks: This is the Day, Uncertain Smile, The Twilight Hour, Giant
Great album, love Depeche Mode Saved tracks: Never Let Me Down Again, Strangelove, Behind The Wheel, Nothing
Well we know what Georg Michael used to think about loads 👀 Saved tracks: Faith, Hard Day, Hand To Mouth
A weird and surprising album. Definitely liked the first half better but I can appreciate the craftsmanship! Saved tracks: In Dark Trees, The Big Ship, Golden Hours
Used to love RHCP loads so I'm a bit biased! Good album, though it drags a bit imo Saved tracks: Funky Monks, Suck My Kiss, The Righteous & The Wicked, The Greeting Song, Little Miss Lover, Castles Made of Sand
One of my favourite Fleetwood Mac albums Saved tracks: Sara, Storms, Sisters of the Moon, Beautiful Child, Tusk
Great album, quite short too so bonus points lol. Jokes aside, the funkiness of this record is perfect. I definitely like the livelier songs on this album but still overall definitely deserves a 5 Saved tracks: Billy Jack, Blue Monday People, Love to the People, Hard Times
Unpopular opinion, but I liked this more than Tommy. Whoops. I think it's more daring in the way that it's arranged and I like the psych rock feel more. There! Saved tracks: Bracelets of Fingers, Balloon Burning, Death, Baron Saturday, Old Man Going, Mr. Evasion, Walking Through My Dreams
Super weird, don't think I liked this very much. Also an hour and 45 minutes of this... Felt like I was losing my mind after half of the first track tbh.
Not really big on ska but there's some good stuff here. Some of it is incredibly repetitive Saved songs: Doesn't Make It Alright, Concrete Jungle, (Dawning Of A) New Era, Too Much Too Young
Interesting arrangements. Some of the songs really slap. Not my usual type of music but, what a cool find! Saved tracks: Segredo, Antropofagos, Sereia, Pecados Da Madrugada
Some nice music here. Didn't particularly listen to lyrics tbh Saved songs: Debonair, Fountain and Fairfax, My Curse, I Keep Coming Back, Brother Woodrow/Closing Prayer
Hell yeah. As always Pink Floyd’s albums are an experience. 10/10
Ha this is great, I can only imagine what impact this must have had on people when this was being performed live! An absolute joy of an album to listen and bop along to. Made my commute much more pleasant! Saved tracks: Tutti Frutti, Ready Teddy, Long Tall Sally (The Thing), Rip It Up
I only get 'The Very Best of The Gershwin Songbook' so that's 44 minutes long. At that amount it's good. I'm not a huge jazz person, but I do enjoy it occassionally and this certainly fits! a lot! Saved tracks: I Got Rhythm, Love Is Here To Stay, 'S Wonderful
Experimental and quiet Saved tracks: Backwater, King's Lead Hat, Spider And I
Enjoyable folkish record Saved tracks: Across The Great Divide, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Up On Cripple Creek, Look Out Cleveland, King Harvest (Has Surely Come)
A jazzy sorta rock. Some of it to my taste, some of it not so much Saved tracks: Aja, Peg, I Got The News
Hmm, not as enjoyable as Human Behaviour imo. In general I’m not a huge fan of the affected way that Bjork sings. I get that it’s very experimental and transformative and whatnot but most of the time it’s just not my cup of tea Saved tracks: Hidden Place, Heirloom, Unison
I quite enjoyed the whole thing. Very experimental in parts, just straight up enjoyable in others Saved tracks: Silver Rocket, The Sprawl, Rain King
I can only classify as this as pleasant pop rock that doesn’t have many distinguishable features. A lot of the songs blend together in their sameness Saved tracks: Beautiful Day, New York, The Ground Beneath Her Feet
This is basically just ambient background music. I actually don't mind it at all. A lot of it is quite experimental and bit weird, some of it repetitive af, but overall I mostly enjoyed this Saved tracks: Burning Wheel, Kowalski, Medication, Trainspotting
Unfortunately only two songs are available for me, but I found it on YouTube. Love Funkadelic and this album is no exception!
I don’t like Kanye West or hip hop, but this album is good. Production wise honestly brilliant, the rapping is super mediocre in my opinion. I didn’t like when he was actually doing any of the ‘singing’ I liked when there were guests and whatnot. Some great songs sampled too That being said that much of KW was way too much. By the second half of the album I was just waiting for it to be over Saved tracks: Dark Fantasy, Gorgeous, POWER, Who Will Survive In America
I've only ever heard Paper Planes before from this album, and probably one more well known track from this artist at all. The first two songs were very unimpressive but it got better as it went I think Saved tracks: Jimmy, 20 Dollar, XR2, Paper Planes, Come Around
I'm not the biggest MJ fan, but this is a great album, of course! Saved tracks: Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', Thriller, Billie Jean
Started off really slowly and experimental and I wasn’t sure what the heck I was listening to. But then it felt like it came to a nice place. Place of psych rock haha, so that works out. I’m still not super keen on live recordings though Saved songs: St. Stephen, Turn On Your Love Light, Death Don't Have No Mercy
One of the top public reviews states that this is Daphne, Velma and Fred from Scooby Doo and their coming of age. You're so wrong, it's Shaggy!! #JusticeForShaggy Really enjoyed this album, very groovy indeed!! Saved tracks: Good Beat, E.S.P., Groove Is In The Heart, Deep Ending
Straight away the amount of songs in this album is slightly scary to me!! Full of very calm and bland songs as well some that really stand out. With very annoyingly long titles so won't be listing my saved tracks here. No. 16 is probably my favourite.
Somehow I missed Sonic Youth when growing up and listening to all sorts of rock and indie 'from the past'. Noisy and dark. I enjoyed the second half of the album more Saved tracks: Shadow Of A Doubt, Marilyn Moore, Bubblegum
Super weird album!! I feel it gets better the longer you listen to it as you get into a state of mind where you can appreciate dirty lyrics with mixed genres and english accent lol Saved tracks: I'm Partial To Your Abracadabra, Billericay Dickie, Blockheads
Love this album. Wish I was alive at the time you could hear the whole thing in a club.
Just a very pleasant listen! Saved tracks: Chain Of Fools, Ain’t No Way, (Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You’ve Been Gone, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Uhh this was a really weird one. I enjoyed a part of it, the 12 minutes track was way too much though Saved songs: Stagger Lee, Crow Jane
Actually horrible, lol. How the fuck is this here??
Only part of this album is available unfortunately. Either way, what a great collaboration Saved tracks: Helpless, Woodstock, Our House, 4+20
Great album, funky, full of soul, with deep lyrics. Will definitely listen again Saved tracks: Luv N’ Haight, Just Like A Baby, Family Affair, Thank You For Talkin’ To Me Africa, Do You Know What?
A weird one. Some of it very ambient and chill some of it actually nice to vibe with. Very indie sound, but fun mostly Saved tracks: Revival, Basement Scene, Coronado
Good grunge album Saved tracks: Violet, Jennifer’s Body, Rock Star
Not really a big fan of live albums truth be told. This wasn’t too bad honestly just a bunch of rock songs at the end of the day Saved tracks: Show Me The Way, Baby I Love Your Way, Shine On, Lines On My Face
Amazing album, love it. Saved the first 6 songs, I think the last 3 are bit weaker. But overall siiick
I found this one quite boring to be frank. In general I’m a big fan of rock and hard rock but this was pretty dull and repeated Saved tracks: Twice As Hard, She Talks To Angels
I quite enjoyed this one Saved tracks: Last Child, Sick As A Dog, Nobody’s Fault, Home Tonight
Not really good… the melody is incoherent at best. And I don’t think it gets much better. Was a slog to get through Saved tracks: You Never Should, I Can See It (But I Can’t Feel It)
Folk and rock blended together. Surprisingly good combo (esp as I’m not big into folk) Saved tracks: Green River, Lodi, Sinister Purpose, Green River/Suzie Q
Not a fan of hip hop, but I’ve managed to stomach most of this. As usual what I enjoy the most is the interesting ways these songs use samples Saved tracks: The Corner, GO!, Testify
Chill reggae sounds, love this Saved tracks: Tyler, King, Burden of Shame, I Think It’s Going To Rain Today, Food For Thought, Madam Medusa
Great album, the first half is very strong. Falters a bit in the second for me, but still enjoyable! Saved tracks: Mambo Sun, Cosmic Dancer, Monolith, Get It On
Good album! Obviously we got the hits but there's loads of stuff I've never heard, and there's some interesting tracks there too! Saved songs: Does Everyone Stare, Bring On The Night, The Bed's Too Big Without You
Just a full album of ambient jazz. Not bad but not really my thing Saved tracks: Jeru, Rouge
A classic album! Love it Saved tracks: Been Down So Long, Love Her Madly, L.A. Woman, Crawling King Snake, Riders On The Storm
Hmm nothing too spectacular, drags a bit too long for me. Felt like her voice was cracking a lot but idk Saved tracks: Put Me On Top, Say Anything, I Should’ve Known, 4th Of July
Really nice pleasant album. Will definitely listen again as background music Saved tracks: Ponta De Lanca Africano, O Filósofo, Taj Mahal, África Brazil (Zumbi)
Well this was wildly boring and bland hour that I’ve wasted on this. Seriously what is this doing on this list? Saved tracks: Clown Strike, My Science Fiction Twin
Some really lovely folk rock, really enjoyed it Saved tracks: Si tu dois partir, Autopsy, Cajun Woman, Million Dollar Bash
The album that gave us Somebody to Love and White Rabbit! Great stuff Saved tracks: She Has Funny Cars, Somebody to Love, 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds, White Rabbit, Go To Her
Well the lyrics are atrocious lmao. If I ignored that then I would have enjoyed it way more, but don’t rappers pride themselves on their lyrics? Blah.
Pleasant jazz ambient kind of album. Not a huge fan of the genre but this is very well done of course
Really enjoyed this eclectic mix of tracks, especially the more psychedelic tinged ones Saved tracks: Lost Women, Jeff’s Boogie, Over Under Sideways Down, Turn Into Earth, What Do You Want
Ive heard a bunch of these before, but never figured it was McCartney post split hah. Some really nice songs and some that are mildly forgettable imo Saved tracks: Band On The Run, Mrs Vandebilt, Let Me Roll It
Great album, absolutely loved it. And it had some songs I've never heard before!! Saved :)
Not a huge fan of pop and this is not a bad album at all. It took me a while to get into it and overall I think the second half is more enjoyable Saved tracks: Rhythm Nation, Miss You Much, Escapade, Black Cat
Absolutely loved the guitar on the title track! So good! Other than that not many standouts personally, nice album to put in the background for sure. Glad that 1001 has albums that aren't in english in it! Saved tracks: Yer Bounda Fara, Savane
Sick album, gotta love The Offspring Saved tracks: Nitro(Youth Energy), Gotta Get Away, Come Out and Play, It’ll Be a Long Time, What Happened To You?
Surprised I liked so many songs from this album. Didn’t start very strong imo but got better Saved tracks: Time To Get Away, North American Scum, All My Friends, Watch the Tapes, New York I love You But You’re Bringing Me Down
Nice mix of songs, no huge stand outs but very pleasant Saved tracks: Girl, Scarecrow, Go It Alone, Rental Car
Morrissey being a POS non withstanding, his singing is quite monotonous and frankly boring. Feels very repetitive and I checked out after the first few songs. Hence my saved songs are from the first half,, Saved tracks: Death of a Disco Dancer, Girlfriend in a Coma
Loud and discordant. Loved it Saved tracks: 100%, Drunken Butterfly, Sugar Kane, Youth Against Fascism, Nic Fit, Purr
What a freaking ride this album was? I had no idea that it was gonna be so interesting when it started. Parts of it just hip hop. Parts of it experimental, anxiety inducing, some edm thrown in the mix? Some really interesting samples too. Wild ride. And I don’t really like rapping but proper enjoyed some of the slower songs on this Saved tracks: !!!!!!!, Sacrifice, Rolling With Heat, The Seed (2.0), Break You Off, Pussy Galore, Thirsty!
Honky Toni certainly grew on me due to this challenge haha Saved tracks: Boxcars, I’ll Be Your Fool, Honky Tonkin’
Not a big fan of this tbf. Can Bob Dylan really sing? Saved tracks: Ballad of a Thin Man, Desolation Row
Really good stuff. I've never heard of this guy before, his vocals sounded a bit like Phil Collins to me lol (and I don't particularly like him or his music) but this was v good Saved tracks: Sledgehammer, Don't Give Up, Mercy Street, Big Time, This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds)
Wasn’t sure I’d like it at the beginning but warmed up to it Saved tracks: Blue Moon Revisited Soon (Song For Elvis), Working On A Building, Sweet Jane, Walking After Midnight
My second The The album so far and really enjoyed it. The blend of genres and interesting sounds are great Saved tracks: Infected, Heartland, Angels Of Deception, Twilight Of A Champion, The Mercy Beat, Sweet Bird Of Truth
As a big fan of psych rock I thought I’d like this more. Time of the Season remains the best song from this album. Also different from everything else on this record in every way Saved tracks: Beechwood Park, Changes, Friend of Mine, Time of the Season
Not bad, but nothing ground breaking, got a bit boring at times Saved tracks: Red Eyes, An Ocean In Between The Waves, Burning
A Tribe Called Quest is one of those hip hop groups I can actually listen to, so this was quite good! Saved tracks: Verses from the Abstract, Check the Rhime, Scenario LP Mix
Great album, initially found the rapping bits quite weird but, fuck yeah. Great energy
Pleasant enough, very repetitive. I used to like a lot of these songs when I was younger Saved tracks: Barely Legal, Someday, Last Night
