The Zombies
5/5
Absolutely incredible album. It's amazing how all of the songs flow together and how "cool" it all sounds, especially Time of the Season. That song is the highlight of the album and it's a great way to close it off. But the entire album is a pleasant ride through psychadelica. Definitely worth checking out.

Beatles
5/5
Incredible album. Even excluding the impact it had on music in general and the change that it represented in The Beatles discography, it just sounds so great. We should send the song In My Life to aliens as the song to represent humanity because it is so beautiful that they will immediately love us. The album flows together so well and you feel as if you are on a cloud floating along happily. The only thing I would have changed is to leave off Run for your Life, because The Beatles don’t need to include another song about domestic abuse, but even with that it still is a perfect album. 5/5 this is an album to put you in a great mood whenever you are feeling down.
Sufjan Stevens
4/5
Really great album. There are a number of stand-out tracks including Chicago, Casimir Pulaski Day, and Come on Feel the Illinoise. I like how all of the songs kind of blend together including some 10 second tracks just for the end of certain songs. Overall, I think this album is amazing but maybe a little too long. The majority of the material is incredible but it kind of drags on a bit. Not necessarily in a bad way but I find myself losing attention.
MC Solaar
4/5
Fleetwood Mac
2/5
It sounds ok but overall not very interesting especially given its length.
Sam Cooke
4/5
Nice and fun album. Sam Cooke seems like he would be really fun to see live and he interacted with the crowd in a really cool way. He’s obviously a great singer and this is the best way to listen to him in my opinion
Nine Inch Nails

Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
A really chill and relaxing album, but it was unexpected how the whole album went together so well. The second half is so well known, but each song sounds fresh and together it all flows perfectly.
3/5
Sounds good and all amazing songs obviously. I just think that they sound better on the original records. Bob's voice doesn't really hold up live.
Donovan
3/5
Interesting album and had some gems. Overall nice to have on in the background.
Echo And The Bunnymen

Small Faces

Merle Haggard

I don't like country but this wasn't bad.
Lou Reed
3/5
Pink Floyd
5/5
Really incredible album. I don't really know why the ideas of missing someone and hating the record industry go together, but all of it sounds great. The title track is one of the nicest sounding songs that I have ever heard.
Manic Street Preachers
2/5
Peter Tosh
3/5
R.E.M.
3/5
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Not as good as some other Zep but it's hard to deny that it's still awesome.
The Velvet Underground
3/5
A crazy mix of styles of music that is sort of confusing when put together. It would be interesting to have heard this when it came out. Overall, I think it's better in retrospect considering the time it came out.
Incredible Bongo Band
2/5
Leonard Cohen
3/5
It sounds a lot like earlier Leonard Cohen, but it still sounds really good and is pleasant to have on.
Mariah Carey
2/5
It's an interesting piece given when she made it and introducing rap and R&B together, and she is obviously an amazing singer. For me, this is not very engaging and it is easy to lose focus with this on.
Dead Kennedys
2/5
Loud and aggressive and interesting ideas on how terrible the world is but personally a little too much.
Grizzly Bear
5/5
This is an incredible album. Especially the song Ready, Able. Watch the music video too it's really good and weird.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Awesome sound.
Portishead
3/5
Interesting and probably worth repeated listens to get the whole thing
The Pretty Things
1/5
Crowded House
1/5
Beatles
4/5
Incredible album. The variety of types of music present is really interesting. I Want You is a song that is almost shocking to listen to and I wish I could have been around to hear this album when it came out. Not my favorite Beatles album, but it's still a great listen.
Gillian Welch
2/5
Milton Nascimento
3/5
Elastica
2/5
Wilco
3/5
A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
Insane beats. The sampling is on an amazing level. Everything flows so well and it just feels like you're floating along on their lines.
Cat Stevens
3/5
The Beach Boys
2/5
Fine but fairly uninteresting Beach Boys music.
Gene Clark
4/5
Great stuff. Gene Clark has a way of getting into your soul with the way he plays music.
Fela Kuti
3/5
Queen
2/5
Sonic Youth
3/5
Iron Butterfly
2/5
Overall, not very good. I really like the title track on its own but in the context of the album it isn't even worth it to wait for it. This seems like Meddle by Pink Floyd but worse.
Ray Charles
3/5
Bob Dylan
4/5
Really interesting and thought provoking album.
5/5
I can't really add anything to the litany of praise for this album. I have been a lifelong Beatles fan, literally I heard it while in the womb. This album is actually not my favorite Beatles album, but it's hard to deny that it is incredible. My favorite song is the last one, just because of how innovative and different it sounds, even today. I recommend anyone to listen to this album who hasn't already.
Metallica
3/5
The Isley Brothers
2/5
The first song is really good, but the rest of it is pretty uninteresting.
Franz Ferdinand
5/5
This was one of the first albums that I discovered on my own, and was not introduced by my parents. I heard the song "Take Me Out" on VH1 or something and it immediately was my favorite song, it was just so catchy. All these years later, it's still an amazing song, and probably my favorite from the album, but every song is so good in a different way. And they are all super catchy and fun! This is one of my favorite albums and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun listening to music.
ZZ Top
2/5
Not very interesting. If you like Southern Rock you might like this one.
Gang Of Four
2/5
Fine post punk, but I'm not interested in it
Pink Floyd
3/5
Very good album overall, but weaker than earlier Pink Floyd albums. Worth listening to for the highlights, which are amazing, but a lot of this feels more theatrical than an actual album.
Arrested Development
3/5
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
4/5
Really interesting mostly instrumental music. It flies by and carries you along with it while you float on the penguin. A great sound to have on while you float.
George Harrison
4/5
This album is crazy, it spans so many different sounds and it just goes on so long. It seems like George had a lot to say after The Beatles. I like it a lot and there are many songs that get stuck in your head. I'm not really sure why the long jam section is on there, but it actually sounds pretty good.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5
Pretty good album but the popular songs sound a lot better than the others
The Beach Boys
5/5
This is an amazing album. Even if every song besides "God Only Knows" was terrible, it would still be amazing just for that song. However, the other songs are still actually really good.
The Byrds
3/5
Tricky
3/5
Blur
4/5
Overall pretty interesting and worth a listen if you like Britpop
The Jam
2/5
Not very interesting
Miles Davis
3/5
probably amazing, but I have a hard time focusing on jazz for some reason
Isaac Hayes
3/5
The Young Rascals
3/5
A couple good songs makes this an overall interesting album.
Linkin Park
3/5
Black Sabbath
3/5

Too long and filled with not good songs, but the highlights are really good

2/5
Fine but overall uninteresting
The Police
1/5
Not interesting
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Worth listening to, but personally I am not much of a fan.
The Notorious B.I.G.
4/5
Great album. The highlights are really good and the regular songs are still really great and Biggie's flow is amazing.
4/5
Pretty cool album
X-Ray Spex
3/5
Actually pretty good although I don't like punk
The Police
3/5
The core of this album is amazing, all the other songs are not very good

1/5
Not my style
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
The songs are pretty good, but I think there are too many
Lenny Kravitz
1/5
Boring
The Flaming Lips
4/5
A great album. Lots of songs with very different sounds. Lots of surprises and melodies that continue to stay with you after listening to it.
Deep Purple
1/5
Bad
The Specials
1/5
I generally like ska but this is not that good.
Run-D.M.C.
3/5
The Cramps
3/5
This album was pretty interesting, I really like the song "Fever", but altogether it was a fun album.
Beatles
4/5
A really great album. I can't even imagine how this would have sounded at the time, every song is a classic and it all sounds amazing. I personally prefer the sound of later Beatles stuff, but I haven't listened to this album in a long time and it feels just fun. Definitely worth checking out.
Louis Prima
3/5
Buffalo Springfield
3/5
The Cars
4/5
Fun 80s music
Marvin Gaye
2/5
Some good sounds, but it isn't as good as his other material
Bob Dylan
4/5
Very interesting album. Another one I would have liked to have experienced as it was coming out. Even today, every song on this album feels fresh and it is all so earnest.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Really exceptional album. A joy to have on and drift in and out of. I could imagine continuing to come back to this in a quiet moment to relax and to feel comforted.
Pavement
2/5
Could not stay focused
FKA twigs
2/5
Not my style but it is probably good
The Byrds
2/5
The title track is good but the rest is fairly uninteresting
The Band
3/5
The Strokes
5/5
Really good and interesting album. This was one of the first albums that made me get into music at all, I felt like it changed how I listened to music and it made me more interested in finding more music like this.
Brian Eno
1/5
If you like soundscape electronica, you will like this.
Peter Gabriel
2/5
Not very interesting
Saint Etienne
3/5
Queen
2/5
The best song is Bohemian Rhapsody, the rest are only ok
Lynyrd Skynyrd
4/5
I may not agree with their politics, but they do know how to rock
The Undertones
2/5
Not very interesting
John Grant
4/5
Actually really interesting. John Grant's voice is all over the place on this record and it ends up sounding very different depending on the track, but all very honest in a way.
Earth, Wind & Fire
3/5
Pretty fun album but parts aren't as interesting
Willie Nelson
4/5
These sound really good
Eagles
2/5
The title song actually is pretty good, other than that, this album doesn't need to exist
Destiny's Child
2/5
Catchy but not very good
10cc
1/5
Not that interesting

5/5
A great if unbalanced album. This is one of my favorite albums and I love to listen to it for all the great parts and not so great parts
Fela Kuti
3/5
This was fine and fairly interesting world music
Supertramp
3/5
Travis
3/5
Faith No More
1/5
Not good at all

4/5
Pretty good and entertaining
The Offspring
3/5
The singles are really good but the rest of the album is loud punk, which is not my style
Dolly Parton
3/5
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
It sounds like a Best Of album by CCR
Gene Clark
4/5
I first heard this album when Beach House was touring it with some other indie stars. I thought their version was really good and I like the original too. If you like this, you should check out that version.
Fatboy Slim
1/5
The singles are catchy but overall this is not a good album
Air
4/5
Really cool sounds, it sounds like early Daft Punk or something but better
Nick Drake
4/5
A really great and relaxing album. It would be great to have on while in the bath or having a heart attack as it might help relax you enough to stop it.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
Barry Adamson
2/5
All over the place and generally not interesting
Dusty Springfield
4/5
Pretty great album with a lot of classics that sounds really good
The Shamen
1/5
Not my style
Dion
1/5
Not very good
Prince
2/5
Not that interesting
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Actually pretty good. I was never a big Rolling Stones fan, but I definitely enjoy this one.
Gorillaz
5/5
Very good album. I haven't listened to it in awhile and I forgot how good it was. This is a fun one to put on whenever and all the songs are so catchy
Genesis
2/5
Too long
The Electric Prunes
1/5
Bad
CHVRCHES
2/5
I don’t think this album is as good as other people seem to think.
Jack White
3/5
Pretty good but not great
David Bowie
3/5
Pretty interesting album, but I find I can't really get into Bowie that much.
Richard Hawley
3/5
Keith Jarrett
3/5
Le Tigre
3/5
The Cure
3/5
I have tried listening to this album many times and I think it’s just not for me. It’s not bad but I don’t see how it is one of the best albums of all time.
Amy Winehouse
3/5
Orbital
1/5
Dire Straits
2/5
Sultans of Swing is great, but the rest of the songs sound sort of same-y.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
2/5
Bauhaus
1/5
Anthrax
3/5
Much better than other thrash metal, but still nothing I am interested in listening to.
David Bowie
3/5
ZZ Top
2/5
This is fine and sounds good, but I think ZZ Top is not very good.
David Bowie
3/5
This was fine and pleasant, but I don't think I would listen to it again.
Ian Dury
3/5
A lot of different styles and sounds pleasant. Still would not listen again.
Wu-Tang Clan
4/5
Probably my favorite rap album of all time. Everything sounds great and this is a fun album to listen to.
James Taylor
3/5
Fine album, and I will continue to listen to Fire and Rain, because it sounds the best of the songs on this album that all sound very similar.
Marvin Gaye
3/5
Very fun and sexy album.
The Blue Nile
2/5
Not my cup of tea
Eminem
4/5
Very good album that is more introspective than I would have thought. Although I pretty much only know Eminem from his hits, so I didn't expect this consistency.
Taylor Swift
2/5
Morrissey
1/5
Not a fan of Morrissey, but this album was especially not good.
Emmylou Harris
2/5
It sounded good, but I don't like country and I didn't really see the point of this album.
Blur
3/5
Fine britpop but not as good as their other albums
Dire Straits
3/5
The popular songs are really good, but the album as a whole felt unbalanced.
Joni Mitchell
4/5
Very good and introspective album. If you pay attention to it, it's hard not to feel some emotion.
Arcade Fire
4/5
This is a really good album that I used to think was better but I haven't like Arcade Fire as much recently. Anyway, this album still stands up as being worthwhile.
AC/DC
3/5
Fine but AC DC's hits are better than anything else
Finley Quaye
2/5
I don't like this
Radiohead
4/5
Very good album and considered by some to be the greatest album of all time. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I do wish I had been paying attention to music when this came out so that I could have seen the effect that it had on rock music.
Van Halen
2/5
Fine but not that good
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
The last 4-5 songs are really good but everything before that is pretty awful.
Sade
2/5
This was fine, but uninteresting.
Nico
3/5
Nice sounding background music
The Black Crowes
2/5
Fine, but not great
The Mamas & The Papas
3/5
Nice pop rock sweetness
Marilyn Manson
2/5
It actually doesn't sound awful, but this is not my style of music at all.
Cream
2/5
I wasn't blown away
Coldcut
3/5
Interesting beats, it was an enjoyable listen. I think it sounds pretty basic nowadays, but maybe when it was new it sounded innovative.
B.B. King
2/5
Fine but I don't think I care for blues that much.
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
Pretty good but I feel cannot stand up to their first album. Still an enjoyable listen.
Def Leppard
2/5
Not very good
Death In Vegas
2/5
I didn't like this much
3/5
It’s a good album and functions as a kind of best of album for Oasis.
Kanye West
3/5
Pretty good stuff but not my preferred style
Pretenders
3/5
Some good songs, but I don't think I would listen to it again.
2/5
I don’t care for U2 and this didn’t convince me to change my mind
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
I don't care for synth pop, and this sounds very 80s. I had a hard time caring that much for it at all, but it didn't sound bad.
John Lennon
4/5
Really good. I mean I am a Beatles fan but this has better tracks than a few Beatles albums. John is clearly flexing here but he has the chops to pull it off. Also the McCartney diss track is sick.
Eminem
3/5
Interesting and very angry. I found it a bit hard to listen to, but the passion is there.
David Bowie
3/5
Enjoyable but more experimental than I thought it would be. It kind of went along peacefully and I listened to it as background.
Metallica
3/5
The title song is really good, but I'm just not interested in metal music enough to enjoy this.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
This was a pretty good album and the well-known songs get stuck in your head easily. The other songs aren't bad either, but overall, this isn't my style of music.
Solomon Burke
2/5
This sounds fine, but it did not stand out at all.
The Triffids
1/5
I couldn't pay attention to this and what I could hear was not very enjoyable.
Devendra Banhart
4/5
Very enjoyable and listenable. I liked having this on in the background while I was doing work but it was also good to focus on and listen to actively.
Depeche Mode
3/5
I am not a particularly big fan of this kind of rock and it didn't really keep my attention. Not bad either, just not something I would listen to again.
Doves
3/5
Couldn't pay much attention to this but it didn't sound bad.
Drive Like Jehu
2/5
Caetano Veloso
3/5
Nina Simone
1/5
I didn't like this much.
Elton John
3/5
This was fine but overall top heavy.
