Popular Reviews

Awful. Not even music.

Voice is fine but can't for the life of me understand why this album made this list. If this was a list of "1001 albums to listen to sitting outside a French bistro while smoking a cigarette" then yes.

I listened to this album three times in a row. My feet never stopped tapping.

Songs started to sound same after a while.

Too much jam but still fun

Cmon it’s Elton

Fun and festive.

Okay. Little heavy fit me.

Good but not my style

Most songs sound the same.

Blues

80s

Fun

Great

Not bad. Didn’t love it.

Nah

Awful. Not even music.

Meh

Okay

Good morning music

Hee hee

Okay

Don’t need to hear it again.

The first mumble rapper.

Imagine if you gave the weird girl in school a recording device and left her alone for an hour. This is what you’d hear.

Not my style but beautiful voice.

I remember seeing her all over the Columbia Record House adverts back in the day. That’s the most interesting thing I can say about this album. Songs okay, voice is okay, but okay is about the best I can do.

I can’t stop dancing and doing cocaine.

My ears!!!

No.

2.5

I’m giving this album 4 stars because it came after a 3-day streak where I got Goldie, Morrissey solo, and the Residents. At least Waylon can sing, write fun songs, and play the guitar.

There is a reason this is one of the best selling albums of all time. All band members except poor Don Felder get a turn at the mic. Classic songs.

I remember this coming out and it was such a big deal. It’s just retread Beach Boys harmonies. Not good.

My wife loves it when I play Handcuffs as loud as possible.

Yawn

Horrible. Most songs sound like the start of middle school band practice when every kid was screwing around and making strange noises on their instruments.

Perfect office background music that nobody will hate.

No growl

Not for me.

This is horrible.

Not for me

Pet Shop Boys songs all sound the same after a while. Don’t really need a 3rd album on this list to know that.

I’m not a huge fan of the Indigo Girls either.

Too much filler. Not enough killer.

Forgetzi

It’s like a good singer at a bad renaissance fair.

Yawn!!!!!!!

No chance im listening to 3 1/2 hours. Rating based off 3 songs.

Weird but interesting. Never got the whole Zappa thing myself but I can kind of see why others dig him.

Super boring.

Smiths without Johnny = Morrissey. Not great.

KLF!!

I love the Dead but 12 minutes of feedback is too much for even me.

Kind of boring

Silly

Just a weird mix of music that doesn’t really make sense. Can’t see how this was a hit.

This is not music!!!!!

Didn’t hate it.

Most songs sound the same but I didn’t hate it. Kind of surprised.

Almost an instrumental. Pretty boring.

Elevator music. Boring as f.

This is one of those albums where I think How did this 14 minute song stay in the top 10 for an entire year? Was the water tainted with acid?

To me this is more of a spoken word album than hip hop.

It’s like a horns driven jam band. Imagine if Jerry Garcia had picked up the trombone instead of a guitar. I didn’t love the long instrumentals but the rest were fine.

90s hip hop continues to surprise me. This was a great album.

This is horrible.

Awful

Uh huh huh. Hey Beavis. Judas Priest rocks!

EDM or whatever you call it isn’t my thing. But I don’t hate this for background music.

Only album in this collection that I immediately listened to again. Bowies finest.

Not my thing. I’ll give it a 3 since I recognize Trent Reznor is a whiz bang musically. But this album was a lot of noise for me and not much music.

I’d never heard of this band. But didn’t hate it.

I don’t love the pixies but I’ll give this album an extra star for the cover.

I knew this guy whose father was a huge Todd Rundgren fan. I didn’t get it then. And I don’t get it now.

I went to a van Morrison concert once. He sang a song then introduced his daughter. She sang an hour. This album is perfect though.

Odd

I enjoyed this a lot. Perfect to listen to sitting by a fire with a glass of bourbon.

Not enough blues in this list

Nothing memorable at all. Good background coffee shop music.

3 stars plus 1 for American Pie

Great music to put in the background when you’re trying to get that hippie chick.

I can see why some people really like this album. Sadly I’m not one of those people. A few good songs.

My favorite album of all time. Only took 930 albums in this generator to find me. I had to suffer through multiple Bjorks but it was worth it.

I’m sorry Miss Jackson. Too much filler in this album.

I don’t hate jazz. I don’t love jazz. Wonderful for a long elevator ride.

Nothing special. Lead singer has a nice voice.

This is so awful. What on earth is it doing in this lost? It makes no sense.

I’m not a big EDM fan but enjoy everything he’s done. Also I loved the housemartins.

Reluctant 3. Didn’t do much for me but I can see where it’d nice background music.

Harold and Maude fans unite.

Like Jack White and his approach to guitar. This one didn’t quite thrill me as much as others.

Wonderful album. Maybe her best.

One of the most beautiful voices ever.

What is this nonsense?

Love me some T Swift but I hear it so much she doesn’t get my 5.

Hold the sauce please.

There was a window of time between late 80s hair metal and early 90s grunge when this album worked. Beautiful

C’mon. It’s the king.

Nice background music for work

Not sure why this album is in the list. But oh well. Harmless.

After listening for a while i finally got a song i liked. Then I realized it was because the album was finished and Spotify played a new artist.

Nick Cave. When boring needs to be boringer.

George michael was one handsome fellow. Based on this album he put it to good use.

Didn’t love them when it came out. Appreciate them more now.

This album isn’t on Spotify. But since I don’t speak Arabic what’s it matter? I listened to another one. He’s like the Algerian Bad Bunny.

Should be called Turd

Almost 1100 albums and I get this shit band two days in a row. Horrible.

This skunk don’t stink! I really enjoyed this album. I’d never heard of them before and the lead singer has a hell of a voice.

I listened to this twice and now I’m pregnant. And I’m a guy.

Boring

Of all the musicians who just scream into the microphone he’s the pope of the dump.

Sounded like when my brother found an electric guitar in our neighbors alley and plugged it in. He couldn’t play either.

Fine in the falafel store I guess.

Imagine being in high school or college in 1974 and listening to this on your record player for the first time. Then imagine realizing the guy who wrote this album wasn’t that much older than you. You might just give it all up. This has to be one of the top 5 rock and roll albums by anyone at anytime. 50 plus years later it’s still fantastic.

I was in a bad mood.

Very 80s production but the voice is amazing. Turn down the lights.

Nothing too exciting. Nice voice though.

I’ve always liked their music. They seemed To explode and crash in a short time period.

I did not enjoy this.

The Venn Diagram of American popular music and British popular music certainly crosses over expansively. But not in this case. Signed, a very confused American how this band ever was so popular across the pond.

Once joe was playing at the continental club in Austin. I went to see him. And I met this big thick cowgirl and we had one hell of a night. Thanks joe.

I listened to this album three times in a row. My feet never stopped tapping.

3 stars for TV party.

Loved it

Boring as fuck. Who can listen to this slow crap?

Journey Complete!
