Who's Next by The Who
Jul 22 2022

Brilliant from start to finish - no weak point on the album for me, definitely will be revisiting

Jul 24 2022

REALLY GOOD - was able to enjoy it almost all the way through (which surprised me, as I didn't think I was much of a prog rock fan) but some of this album gets lost on me (such as the lengthy instrumental in 'Moonchild') and so I can't rate it as a 'perfect' album based on my first couple of listens - but I can completely see why this was included on the list of albums, and why sooo many people speak so highly of it. Track ranking (fav to least fav): The Court Of The Crimson King > Epitaph > I Talk To The Wind > 21st Century Schizoid Man > Moonchild

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jul 25 2022

I was a bit skeptical when I saw that this was a live album, but this was pretty great! Good sound quality, and literally every single song was a banger. Definitely the most fun listening experience I've had so far!

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jul 26 2022

Not sure if this is an album that I'm ever going to revisit in full, but I loved the instrumentation throughout, and especially loved the title track & ocean of noise

Technique by New Order
Jul 27 2022

it's clear that this album was very ahead of its time, in terms of the production - but I've heard other stuff from New Order that I've personally preferred over this

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jul 28 2022

Enjoyed the instrumentals for the most part but really disliked the vocals to a point where it puts me off wanting to re listen to any songs

Fun House by The Stooges
Jul 29 2022

Enjoyed this one overall, but it does start to get a bit samey after a while and so I don’t really see myself revisiting it for now Great instrumentation on every track though, my favourite was the title track

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jul 30 2022

IMMACULATE production and stacked with tunes

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jul 31 2022

This is my first time listening to a full Joni Mitchell album, and it was really cool to hear as so many of my favourite artists are heavily influenced by her. However, I don't think this album really clicked for me on a first listen, mainly because I'm someone who relies heavily on hooks and melodies in songs in order for them to stick with me afterwards, but the songwriting and instrumentals were really amazing throughout and I'd be happy to revisit it at some point. ((final 4 tracks were my favourites))

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Aug 01 2022

I’m not much of a listener of ambient music but can still appreciate this on some level - the biggest issue for me was the runtime, I was just really bored by the end

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Aug 02 2022

LOVE THIS ALBUM from beginning to end, the dreamy atmosphere that is maintained throughout is just my favourite thing ever. Easy 5 for me

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 03 2022

Not really a fan of Springsteen and feel like he's a bit overrated but this album definitely has some tunes - I probably won't revisit except for a couple of tracks though

xx by The xx
Aug 04 2022

love this genre and this album has a great atmosphere to it (also - amazing vocals)

Aug 05 2022

This was alright in terms of instrumentation (did not care for the vocals sorry) but the songs kind of blended into one another and I didn't come out of this with any favourites that I want to revisit - also just don't think i'm much of a fan of heavy metal tbh

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Aug 06 2022

I had never really listened to much Rolling Stones before this, and I was pleasantly surprised by the lyrics especially. There were a couple of songs I wasn’t that into but there were more songs that I did really like so for me this sits at about a 4

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Aug 07 2022

Loved the vibe of this one but it did drag on a bit (I think I just don’t do well with longer albums on a first listen) Fav track: dance of the seven veils

Hms Fable by Shack
Aug 08 2022

really loved this one, probably my favourite so far from the albums that I hadn’t already heard in some capacity before!

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Aug 09 2022

Such an incredible voice, and I loved this a lot more than I was expecting to, as I had never explored this genre of music before - there were a couple songs that I wasn't really into but the majority was really great

One World by John Martyn
Aug 10 2022

Such a cool mix of influences on this that make for an interesting listen - though there aren't many tracks that I'm really gonna want to revisit so for now i'll give this like a high 3

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Aug 11 2022

I went into this expecting to really dislike it as I didn't really enjoy Nico on the album with The Velvet Underground, but her voice grew on me a little bit throughout this album and the orchestral instrumentation was really pretty. Not many tracks stuck with me afterwards though and I was a bit bored by the end, so not sure if I'll want to revisit this in full.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 12 2022

Super close to being a 5 for me, almost every single song went straight into my playlist. Will definitely relisten

Vivid by Living Colour
Aug 13 2022

absolutely loved this, which was such a surprise for me as im usually not big on 80s rock/metal and tend to stick with the 70s. This is very nearly 5 star, but for now sits at a very very high 4. will definitely revisit!!

Kimono My House by Sparks
Aug 14 2022

This was an interesting listen for me, since I didn't really like the opening track, despite it being the most well known off the album - the rest of it I ended up really liking. 4

Aug 15 2022

loved the beats and other aspects of the production in this but it was a little bit too long for me

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Aug 16 2022

Liked about half of it

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Aug 17 2022

bangers from beginning to end

Aug 18 2022

sooo beautiful. I loved the mix of styles throughout this and the production all the way through. Pleasantly surprised and will probably revisit many of the tracks!

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Aug 21 2022

This was a nice listen but not super memorable overall, although I might revisit a few of the standout tracks in the future.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Aug 22 2022

Liked the first few tracks and the last few tracks but got bored in the middle (I'm not very good with long albums oops)

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Aug 23 2022

Really enjoyed this one! The only real negative for me would be the skits cause I could've done without them but the production on this is incredible and it makes me want to definitely check out more stuff by everyone who was involved.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Aug 24 2022

An enjoyable listen

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Aug 25 2022

Actually enjoyed the overall sound of this a lot more than I thought I would, but at the same time didn't really love many individual tracks

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Aug 29 2022

this might be the first album I've had that's over an hour long but feels like half of that - great vibes particularly in the instrumentals which made for an easy listen, and although it does start to lose momentum a little bit towards the end, I never felt completely bored. That being said, I don't know if there were that many standout moments that I'll be revisiting, other than maybe the first 2-3 tracks.

Aug 30 2022

a little too long for me and i'm not sure I was in the right mood to enjoy it fully, but still great nonetheless

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Aug 31 2022

Really loved this. Great covers that maintain a calm vibe with beautiful instrumentation and even the vocals were much better than I was expecting. Will be revisiting for sure

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Sep 01 2022

I enjoyed having this on as background music, but I can't judge it very well as i'm not really a fan of the genre and don't know much about it. I did get a little bit tired of it by the end and don't think i'll ever come back to it so can't quite give it a 3

Sep 02 2022

loved that this wasn't a super long album, and I love listening to James Brown sing of course, and the band was great, but I'm not really into live albums in general and would rather just listen to the studio versions.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Sep 03 2022

so many classic riffs, enjoyed the last few tracks especially (and the title track of course). Makes for great background music

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Sep 04 2022

More accessible than I thought it was gonna be, especially in terms of the instrumentals (which I really enjoyed!), but gets a little weird around half way through. Some of the vocals became a bit grating after a while.

Protection by Massive Attack
Sep 05 2022

loved it, and am glad to see that it's not the only album by them on the list, excited to get the other one!!

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Sep 11 2022
Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 19 2022

The songs themselves were pretty good, but I really wasn’t a fan of the vocal performances and they ended up putting me off a lot of the time.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Oct 01 2022

This is the most I've enjoyed an album in quite a few days now, so im very happy! I just wish this were on Spotify :( (very high 4)

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Oct 02 2022

An OK listen but nothing that was super memorable

Yeezus by Kanye West
Oct 03 2022
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Oct 05 2022
Suede by Suede
Oct 08 2022
Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Oct 10 2022

was not expecting this to be the genre that it was based on the album cover so I was very pleasantly surprised!

Crazysexycool by TLC
Oct 19 2022

This was a brilliant album in terms of consistency, but it was a little bit long for me, probably because I'm not super into this genre and have some difficulty connecting with it. Despite this, I did add multiple songs from this onto my playlist so I must be starting to get it :)

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Oct 22 2022
Grace by Jeff Buckley
Oct 28 2022
The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Oct 29 2022

100th album!!! Definitely liked this one, super fun and makes for great background music especially, since every song kind of blended into one (which might be considered a negative thing) - therefore i'm not sure if there's much here that I would revisit individually except the first couple of songs, but its a very well made album nonetheless and deserves a spot on this list.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Nov 01 2022

Difficult to rate because it is an AMAZING album, but by Radiohead standards to me it's not even close to being their best. So I'll give this a 4 since other albums by them featured on the list will certainly be getting the 5s.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Nov 02 2022

Side B lets the album down but some brilliants tracks on side A

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Nov 09 2022

I like to try give everything a chance on this generator but this was not worth the pain

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Nov 11 2022

I'm not the biggest fan of this band, but I can't deny that this must be one of the greatest debut albums of all time - so many hits that I have constantly heard throughout my life, and I think it would just be wrong to rate it any less than 5 stars.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jan 04 2023

Probably my favourite hip-hop album thus far. Just wish it was easier to find, because i'd love to download and relisten to a lot of it.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Jan 08 2023

I actually don't mind this kind of music when it's in small doses but 40 straight minutes of this is really grating and I got fed up pretty quickly

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jan 10 2023
Jan 12 2023

I thought I was completely fed up with punk after getting so many punk albums on this generator in such a short period of time, BUT this one really was enjoyable- loved the catchy melodies and not too aggressive sound.

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 01 2023
Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Feb 10 2023

Thank god for Grace Slick!!! just a couple tracks here that i didn't love & so it is just below a 5.
