Aretha Franklin
2/5
Incredible Bongo Band
2/5
Every song sounds like an intro to a traffic report on morning radio.
Bongolia is a good name. Missed opportunity for In A Bongo Da Vida.
The xx
3/5
It was neat and I could see how it would've been a bigger deal in 2009.
Talking Heads
4/5
Just weird enough.
The Beach Boys
4/5
Solid all around. A welcome departure from their early stuff.
Public Enemy
3/5
The Rolling Stones
4/5
The Replacements
5/5
Seems to get better each time I listen to it.
Deerhunter
1/5
I listened twice and liked it even less the second time. I had trouble even having it on as background music.
The White Stripes
4/5
Had a few great songs mixed in with a lot of stuff I could skip.
Van Halen
5/5
More than half of the songs are in the good-to-great category. The rest are good enough that I wouldn't skip them.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
3/5
I don't like Janis Joplin all that much, so I won't find myself going back to this one often. However everything else with this album is good enough to keep it it at 3 stars for me.
Taylor Swift
4/5
Roni Size
2/5
Batshit
Gene Clark
2/5
It was enjoyable enough, but there are better albums in this style out there that I'd rather be listening to. No songs stood out.
Björk
4/5
Great music if you're in the mood for it.
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Thin Lizzy
3/5
This album is a pretty decent collection of the hits.
Alice In Chains
4/5
The Roots
4/5
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
2/5
So long, but I guess it serves as a good sampling of older country and bluegrass.
Bad Company
4/5
Some fun songs. They're never in the top 5 or 10 bands I think of when I think classic rock, but they could be.
Traffic
2/5
Unsure if it's just a bombardment of 70s music that's wearing on me or not, but nothing on this album really stood out.
George Michael
3/5
I didn't go in with high hopes, it overall, it was pretty enjoyable.
Steve Winwood
2/5
It was some generic easy listening. It wasn't helped by the fact that Traffic was on the list 2 days prior for me.
David Bowie
2/5
The Jam
2/5
It was an alright album, but I wouldn't rank it on a list of "need to listen to".
The Smiths
4/5
Kid Rock
1/5
Bee Gees
4/5
Overall, I enjoyed it. It was different from what you'd normally think of when you hear the Bee Gees. Not sure how often I'd relisten to it, but it's got a worthwhile place in the 1001 albums.
John Prine
3/5
Songhoy Blues
2/5
It was alright background music, but don't think I'd actively look for more of the same.
Drive Like Jehu
4/5
I wanted to listen multiple times because I just couldn't tell what I liked and what I didn't. Aggressive hardcore songs are common, even some that have melodic breaks in them, but the length of the songs is what seemed uncommon to me. I still don't know if it was good or bad, but I've listened 3-4 times and still go back to it, so I guess that means I like it.
M.I.A.
3/5
Was one of the better representations of a very particular trend of pop music from 2006-2010ish. Brought back memories of working at a mall.
Arcade Fire
3/5
I wouldn't turn it off immediately, but I don't think I'll ever seek out this album again.
Miles Davis
4/5
He's no Kenneth G.
Gorillaz
3/5
It seemed like this was a bigger deal when it came out. Listening to it now, it doesn't seem all that remarkable
My Bloody Valentine
4/5
It was a good representation of the genre.
Eric Clapton
3/5
A good bit of classic rock. There really wasn't anything that stood out though.
Pixies
4/5
Overall it was good. A few songs like Wave of Mutilation and Monkey Gone to Heaven stood out.
Johnny Cash
4/5
The Band
4/5
Was a great transition from 60s to 70s rock.
Ministry
4/5
It was weird and fun, and kind of enjoyable.
Mudhoney
4/5
This album probably gets overlooked more than it should. Worthy of a spot in the list.
Abdullah Ibrahim
5/5
Everything about this was great. The timing of where it came up for our group also could've helped. We needed something mellow.
The Smiths
4/5
Miles Davis
2/5
I get that this might be a great album or there's great musicianship going on here. It is just hard to get through for me. It also was in a Monday morning slot on our list so the anxiety from this one on top of returning to work was rough.
System Of A Down
4/5
Adele
3/5
Everything about it was technically good, but I don't feel like I have to go back and listen to anything again.
Can
4/5
Tricky
2/5
I just didn't like it
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
4/5
Had some great songs.
Hole
3/5
Better than remembered, but still not great.
Nanci Griffith
2/5
Madonna
4/5
David Bowie
2/5
It wasn't all that great. If it wasn't David Bowie, and it wasn't put out under the circumstances it was, would it be on this list?
Eminem
4/5
The Offspring
4/5
Manu Chao
1/5
Nothing on this album did it for me.
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
It's like listening to someone cosplay a cowboy.
Nine Inch Nails
5/5
It was just good front to back. It fell into place on a day where I wanted to listen to it. If I was in a different mood, it might've gotten 4 stars.
Manic Street Preachers
5/5
The Allman Brothers Band
2/5
Nothing stood out.
Travis
5/5
George Jones
1/5
I did not like this. It felt bad giving it a one, but it also felt bad to listen to. You reap what you sow.
