If Tom Petty and Blue Hammer smashed and created a child that ought to have be drowned at birth.
Megadeth · 3 likes
1/5
Holy father, I'm ready to confess... I don't actually like Megadeth when I said I did... In the early 2000's, when I was but a teen, I first heard them I thought the band name was cool and the singer was hot.
For my sin of lying, I've seen them live twice (both times sucked) and listened to several albums (barely got through all of them). I pray my penance be accepted and I never have to do this again.
Amen.

1/5
Seeing all the biz people rating this 10/10, five stars and I'm just left wondering what am I not hearing. I heard a 44 minutes of a horrible vocal track over synth pop crap.
Then I was advised the dude unalived/ offed himself shortly after this was released and all the ratings made more sense in a don't speak bad of the dead kinda way. I'll be honest, this is pure unenjoyable cut yourself in the bathroom emo 13 year old kid garbage.

B.B. King
4/5
Nirvana
5/5
Classic and arguably the best Nirvana album. Kurt's vocals shine on tracks like Something in the Way and the acoustic arrangement of Lake of Fire brings another level to the song.
Songhoy Blues
5/5
Songhoy Blues - refugees from Mali due to religious (Islamic) extremist group Ansar Dine.
Interesting album, really enjoyed it. The different styles of blues and rock shined through.
Soulful song Mali, I don't know the language but the intent seeps through.
Paul Simon
4/5
Surprised I hadn't heard this one before.
Good album, Paul Simon is a great story teller.
Me & Julio is still my favorite, enjoyed Paranoia Blues and Run that Body Down.
Fiona Apple
4/5
Fetch the Bolt Cutters was an interesting album. Power in her lyrics, going through her journey as an artist and as a woman. Clear message of women need to be heard and we won't be silenced. Especially liked the title track Fetch the Both Cutters and Under the Table. Will listen again.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
I don't get Bruce Springsteen personally. I know millions of people do so I suppose it's just me. Hits aside I enjoyed I'm Goin' Down. Overall I'll say its fun album, something you can dance to when no one is watching. A best album of all time? I don't know but it does scream homeboy Americana till the cows come home.
Marvin Gaye
4/5
This album is wild. Such a variation of styles, the sensual overtones, and engagement of Marvin Gaye with his musicians is captivating. His use of his music to cope with his own childhood traumas and spiritual healing comes though lyrically.
Nine Inch Nails
5/5
I love The Downward Spiral. I love that it hits just as hard today, while I load my reusable earth conscience bags into my family car, as it did in 1999 sitting on my bff's floor doing our makeup to go check out guys at the mall.
Bee Gees
2/5
Musically this album is pretty standard for anything of the same time frame. So it's not it's good it's just not anything special. Lyrically and vocally it's consistent for the Bee gees ... Garbage
The Go-Go's
4/5
This was just a fun bunch of songs. Would recommend and listen to again.
The Hives
2/5
The was a generic garage punk album. Really didn't bring anything new, definitely would not rate it as a "must listen".
The Cardigans
4/5
Great collection of songs. Solid throughout, I especially liked the Iron Man cover took me a minute to pick up on what it was.
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
Amazing album, Hendrix was a master.
Queen
3/5
Not sure what to say... Started listening and was suddenly 6 songs in and didn't realize. Hardly a difference in songs to stand out from each other. Everyone plays well, March of the Black Queen and Funny How Love Is are pretty solid and have a different sound from the rest of the album
Underworld
4/5
Blueski- love the guitar melody, great change of pace
Stagger- great sound vocal combo
This was honestly better than I expected
Goldfrapp
3/5
Fairly generic - A&E is easily the best song on the album
Curtis Mayfield

This was god awful. Beyond awful. Beep boop and repeat the same line over and over for 6-8 minutes. So happy when it was over.

Elenore Rigby is the best song on the album. Everything else is pretty okay.

This album threw me for a trip. I had the expected The Velvet Underground was in the realms of Bowie and The Rolling Stones but then 2/3 of this album was "I wanna be the Beatles" type stuff. BUT, get to the last three songs and it's like a completely different group. Wow. The Murder Mystery totally saved this album from the grand level Meh experience it had been providing.

Like most people, I only knew Randy Newman as the Toy Story guy... Omg did I have my expectations smashed apart and then run over. Shocked in a good way, that I had to stop and listen/read the lyrics and research references. Department store music you definitely can't actually play at a department store.

Yeah, Blues Hammer meets Iggy Pop. Uneven sound, screaming, does not work for me even a little bit
Kings of Leon

Slipknot

Super Furry Animals
4/5
The Beta Band
2/5
Ok but forgettable. It was more background music and anything of note.
Adele
5/5
Amazing album start to finish. I'm not much into modern pop but Adele is the one singer that I can't get enough of.
Tina Turner
3/5
Good but even, the hits still kill but the rest doesn't meet at the same level.
Rod Stewart
3/5
Best songs: Gasoline Alley and Only a Hobo
Overall OK album, grew a tad tiresome by the end honestly.
You're My Girl feels like the most traditional Rod Stewart sound.
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
Surprisingly good. About half of this album could have been released and been popular singles.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
5/5
All the hits
Nirvana
5/5
Album that defined a generation.
Röyksopp

Frank Zappa
4/5
Zappa! Great collection of music
Small Faces
3/5
Average, I liked the story telling tie ins between songs; that was kinda fun
Pink Floyd
5/5
The is one of my favorite albums ever. I've probably listened to it at least 50 times in my life. The first time, it absolutely blew my 15 year old mind. I hadn't heard anything like it before. Thus began my love of all things Pink Floyd.
Holger Czukay
2/5
German Zappa; or that time you went to an art museum, saw some random splatters on canvas and was told it was a statement piece
JAY Z
3/5
Basic Jay Z album. Best song Heart of the City (Ain't No Love). Rest of the album, tracks are good BUT would have been better served if he didn't bother with lyrics. "Never Change"... Really? I'm rich but I still do crime, but I still have street cred. Ok Jay Z if that's what you need to tell yourself.
George Michael
4/5
Fun album, like his solo better than Wham
R.E.M.
4/5
Solid album, includes the hits
Scritti Politti
2/5
Def a time and place kind of music. Kind of Prince -esk 80's in sound. Unlike Prince, every song sounds the same. Very copy/paste for tone. I appreciate they kept it to 38 minutes.

Tori Amos
4/5
The Lemonheads
4/5
The Rolling Stones
2/5
Leave it to the Stones to create an album that sounds like someone recorded a karaoke bar and sold it. First song is a banger, last song is a banger... Chuck all the stuff in the middle and it would be perfect

The Birthday Party
3/5
Remember that time when your cousin was like hey you gotta come with me to hear this band and they drag you to some warehouse in the middle of knowhere. Then some dudes come on the stage that appear to be half out of it and start jamming on some instruments that were all third hand-me-downs. And it's ok, you didn't regret the night but you know it's only because of the weird context of the experience.
This album is that.

Seeing all the biz people rating this 10/10, five stars and I'm just left wondering what am I not hearing. I heard a 44 minutes of a horrible vocal track over synth pop crap.
Then I was advised the dude unalived/ offed himself shortly after this was released and all the ratings made more sense in a don't speak bad of the dead kinda way. I'll be honest, this is pure unenjoyable cut yourself in the bathroom emo 13 year old kid garbage.

Today is just one of those days that feels all sad, rainy, and pointless so I know any other day this album would have not been as good to me as it is today.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Started out with my favorite Neil Young song and everything else was ok. His work with Crazy Horse is def his best.

Megadeth
1/5
Holy father, I'm ready to confess... I don't actually like Megadeth when I said I did... In the early 2000's, when I was but a teen, I first heard them I thought the band name was cool and the singer was hot.
For my sin of lying, I've seen them live twice (both times sucked) and listened to several albums (barely got through all of them). I pray my penance be accepted and I never have to do this again.
Amen.
Chicago

Chicago is a band my husband has been trying to get me into for like 20 years... Still a pass

Only took till 2013 but someone figured out how to make synth music not suck. Well done. Feels very modern and relevant, I wouldn't have been surprised if this came out this year. Enjoyed the whole thing.
David Gray
3/5
I can see what people like this it's all right but the guys kind of a mush mouth.
Peter Tosh
3/5
Typical reggae album not much different than any other
Garbage
5/5
Time machine album for sure
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
I don't know the dynamic of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds but I'm going to give a 1 to Nick Cave for his terrible not trying vocals and stupid AF 16 year old girl diary lyrics. 4 for The Bad Seeds. Enjoyed the music, would be immensely better as an instrumental album.

The Young Rascals
3/5
TIL "Blue Eyed Soul" is an actual musical genre and that perfectly describes this group/ album. Beatles with soul so more entertaining than I thought it would be.
Kate Bush
2/5
Album composed of, Running Up a Hill and all the other over layered repetitive songs.
Tom Waits
3/5
Not my favorite Waits album but still oddly entertaining
Paul McCartney and Wings
2/5
Bland on the Run...
The Police
4/5
Albums I didn't see coming, yeah, this is on the list
Eagles
3/5
Todd Rundgren
3/5
Very of it's time 70's musical style - in the way of Hair, JC Superstar, but not my thing. Good production.
Grateful Dead
3/5
Zoned out so hard while listening almost got in a car accident. Warning: do not operate heavy machinery while listening.
AC/DC
4/5
The best description I ever heard of AC/DC is that they've been playing the same song for 50 years but it's a really good song.
Beck
4/5
Different style for Beck, but good
Lucinda Williams
1/5
Most of this album is absolutely unlistenable. Lyrically repetitive to the point of insanity, unnecessary vocal affectation of country twang, and awful simplistic guitar. But then you get to the final track Jackson, which has a calming Baptist hymnal feel to it which is quite beautiful. Not enough to save this album but still.
The Notorious B.I.G.
3/5
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Not the best Simon & Garfunkel album but still solid
Turbonegro
2/5
Hey it's the song from Jackass!
Deee-Lite
3/5
Fun songs for fun people
Les Rythmes Digitales
3/5
Damaged People best track... Hey You What's that Sound remix insulting... Disco II Disco absolutely unlistenable without wanting to put my head in a blender. Rest of is solid dance tracks nothing special.
Gang Of Four

Didn't know what was going on for half this album but every track was fire
Coldcut

Great mixes and energy
Kings of Leon
1/5
I can't even begin to express how much I hated this album.
4/5
Fun rockabilly punk. Can't go wrong there
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
1/5
The best thing about this album is it's the fifth and final Nick "overrated" Cave and the Bad Seeds album on this list. HUZZAH! I deserve a merit badge.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
5/5
Quintessential Joplin.
My Bloody Valentine
1/5
This is a whole album recorded with all instrument and vocal tracks on the same level so it all just sounds like music mush.
Pentangle
3/5
When people have Renaissance faires, I now believe they are just remembering the 1960's, not the 1560's.
Fairport Convention
3/5
More Jefferson Airplane than Pentangle but still mostly the boring bits of JA
Gram Parsons
3/5
Not my genre but ok for what it is.
Stephen Stills
3/5
Fourth album in a row from 1969... So I'll def give 1969 range. As for this album, solidly OK.
Keith Jarrett
4/5
Classic jazz piano... Such a random album I didn't expect to find on this list. Super good but I love piano music to begin with.
Joan Armatrading
5/5
This is why I started this list to begin with, finding out about awesome artists I've never heard of... Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥
Red Hot Chili Peppers
2/5
Jesus Christ... I had terrible taste when I was 16. There's like two good songs on here the rest are the worst, to the point of distraction, stupidest lyrics ever.
Paul McCartney
2/5
Nice guitar work but nothing stood out.
Bee Gees
2/5
The Bee Gees do English folk with a splash of country... Really?
Q-Tip
3/5
Won't Trade is the most stand out song but that just because of the strong mixing track.
3/5
Very nice
Method Man
2/5
Ok I guess, not much to it
10cc
3/5
All over the place, a little odd but fun
The Dandy Warhols
3/5
"Never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe." Probably my favorite line ever.
The Rolling Stones
2/5
Rolling Stones still in their boy band phase
Black Flag
4/5
Perfectly punk 15 songs in 30 minutes, everyone doing their own thing and somehow making it sound cool
The Mamas & The Papas
3/5
Classic Mamas & Papas with all the songs you know... 60's grooving would have been better high
Grant Lee Buffalo
2/5
All over the place... Some songs were Jim Morrison vibe, other songs country twang crap, and other songs couldn't keep in key to save his life but backing tracks nice.
Finley Quaye
2/5
Scottish reggae, something new everyday. I Need a Lover is the most stand out only because it at least sounds different than everything else.
Richard Thompson
2/5
Not quite what I thought it would be but not too far off...
Napalm Death
3/5
Reading the lyrics as I went... 1. Awesome messages, very haiku 2. Absolutely 100% no way he's actually saying/ singing that...
Lana Del Rey
4/5
Liked this more than I thought I would. Pretty vocals and amusing lyrics.
Morrissey
1/5
It's like he stole some 16 year old girl's diary and copied it word for word.
Personally, I feel is no art to Morrissey's music, he might as well be an accountant.
You Know I Couldn't Last is probably the best of the album because while it is still sounds like he's singing about his shopping list (literal, factual) it at least sounds like something he's experienced (not the 16 year old who's diary he lifted, see above).
Bob Dylan
3/5
Tangled up in Blue and Shelter from the Storm are always good. Rest is ok, if not a little long.
Tim Buckley
1/5
This guy sucks...
Ella Fitzgerald
4/5
A six disc box set... Are we being real right now? Isn't that cheating a little... Like, "I want to add Ella but can't pick, fuck it just add her entire catalog".
Took me two days to finish, good but yeah, only for the fanatic.
Fever Ray
2/5
Spent the entire album waiting for something to happen. Never changed time or intensity, just flat all the way through.
R.E.M.
4/5
Rufus Wainwright
3/5
I can't imagine seeing this performed live, very lovely but kinda a bore.

The The
4/5
The The is a credit to the synth pop genre.
Kid Rock
1/5
White guy very poorly rapping, I don't miss this 1998 trend. And fast forward 25 years, now he's an absolute boot licker. No surprise here. I feel dumber for having had to listen to this.
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
Nanci Griffith

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

Afrika Bambaataa
3/5
Kinda expected more
Scissor Sisters
3/5
Their version of Comfortably Numb is unforgivable. Lucky Take Your Momma Out is a banger
The Cult
3/5
I think you have to be in the right mood and frame of mind to listen to more than three Cult songs in a row. Many breaks taken to finish off this album.
Rufus Wainwright
3/5
About 10% less pretentious then Want One
The Magnetic Fields
3/5
I don't think you're actually supposed to listen to all of this, the whole album comes off as an ironic joke and by the time you're at Love is a Jazz song -done in the most ridiculous over the top caricature of jazz style - it should be blazingly obvious Magnetic Fields is just fucking with everyone.
Can
2/5
Experimental music is wasted on me.
Brian Eno
4/5
This sounds exactly what you'd expect a Brian Eno/ David Byrne collaboration would be
Donovan
3/5
A little bipolar - Half fairy folk ren faire music, half 60's brit rock
Stereo MC's

One killer and a bunch of filler

Stan Getz
4/5
Really relaxing
Blondie
4/5
Good fun
Paul Simon
2/5
Lyrically this album screams, "I have absolutely know idea what to write about" ... Allergies man, yeah know? Dang, cars... are... Like, cars. Kinda dull, never gets off the ground for me
Motörhead
2/5
I got the point after five songs that sound the same .. "Jailbait", boy howdy, does not meet 2026 standards
Simply Red
3/5
Fun basic
The Velvet Underground

Britney Spears
2/5
Take me back to the 90s and the commercialized pop that they tried to shut down your throats
Steve Earle

With help you country albums enter this list I expect the ones that are actually accepted to be total bangers. This was not.
Madonna

Just poppy radio play
Throbbing Gristle
2/5
For what it is... It's objectively good. Maybe good is a strong word, let's land on interesting. I've said before experimental music is lost on me and this is def someone's college art thesis.
The Verve
3/5
It was good and I liked it but I can see why it wasn't radio play worthy
