This album is anxiety inducing. I hated everything. I can’t believe this was allowed to be released much less hailed to be an incredible album.

Very jammy.

Don’t forget about me is my favorite

It was fine. Sleepy time music maybe except for the hit. The girls voice isn’t great

First of all, why is it called rainy day woman? I like how it feels like it was recorded all together. Maybe I don’t like harmonica anymore? Oof these songs are long. I know his lyrics are meaningful and sometimes political but I have a hard time following the story. He sounds like he has a crazy speaking accent who even says the vowel a like that? Stuck inside of mobile is my favorite. This whole exercise sucked. Next album please

I rated this and somehow it went away. Blah. These songs seem so familiar but then if I was at a bar, I don’t think I’d be able to identify them. I liked Walt Whitmans niece the best

I freaking had so much listening to this. Automatic is a fucking banger. The whole album made me want to go to ethyls.

The melodies are so pleasant. It’s funny that when it came it out, it was rock n roll and now I would categorize it as easy listening. It’s also funny that some songs are 2 mins. I think I looking through you is the best.

This is actually really cool. I think I would enjoy this live. The one thing that makes it not 5 stars for me is the different language. So much of music for me is the lyrics so I really want to hear what they are saying. I really like the call and response type lyrics. My favorite is Sekou Oumarou

This was hard to listen to. If I’m on drugs, I can see why this would be fun. But listening to this album not in a club is kinda ridiculous. Maybe for working out? Just not my cup of tea.

I have a hard time with apathetic singing. I briefly poked at the remastered version and it sounds way better which is an experiment I’ve never partook in before. Would not listen to this album again.

What the hell is going on with the vocals? I fucking hate this album cover as well. I actually like the music but the vocals ruin it for me. Tempo change in motorcade is cool. I want to hate this more than I do.

They have so many good guitar licks. I’m also so amped on the fuck the system vibes. He doubles vocals and in general he is able to crate dynamics in his rapping which is super cool. Overall I love this album but I don’t know why I won’t give it 5.

I think this music is cool but definitely not my cup of tea. I don’t even mind that there aren’t any vocals but house music has never been exciting for me. It did feel like the longest hour of my life.

I actually liked this. I don't think I would listen again but it was groovy and I kinda liked the low vocals.

I loved this. Its like OG emo. My favorite was "You Can't Have Me". The drums on that track were awesome.

Woah! I think this is the shortest album. So many people like the smiths. Hayley even played it on her podcast. Dislike track #1. His vocals get annoying. The lyrics are really great but I think there’s times where the singing is more like melodic spoken word instead of singing.

So I feel like this album is a good Beatles album for me to listen to because I’m not familiar with the majority of the songs. The melodies are really beautiful especially in “I’m only sleeping”. Lyrically, I just don’t connect. Also, I think the mood of each song is so similar that the sad songs don’t seem so sad.

Guitar town? Oof. Bad name. This reminds me of kidsalong. This was hard for me to get through but I didn’t HATE anything.

Tori Amos is before my time and though I usually like to uplift women in music, her voice and her intonation are annoying to me. I kept thinking Alanis can do this better. Cool line “ so you can make me come. It doesn’t make you Jesus”. The whole thing sounds like a musical. Not in a good way.

This is why I love the excercise we are doing because all I know by B-52s is love shack and I don’t particularly care for that song. His voice is annoying and I’m not sure why he was like “yeah I can be the singer”. Her voice is cool though. So much attitude. Especially on Dance This Mess Around. It reminded me of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Their lyrics are stupid.

Wrap it up is so strange and I like it a lot. Fuck yeah. I was dancing down the street to Sweet Dreams. I really never got sick of this. It’s weird. It’s dancy. Good for them.

Oh hell yeah. This is my favorite Radiohead album. I also think it would be one of the 5 albums I bring with me on a desert island. Thom Yorke's singing has always reminded me of a shy, broken man singing. It sounds like an introvert was singing. His lyrics are so simple and I always think there is so much power in that. Because single lines can resonate with anyone. The songs are about nothing and everything all at once. The band uses space and dynamics in a way that I believe can't be compared to another band. I also think it's one of the best-mixed albums I've ever heard. Top 3 favorite songs: There isn't one bad song on this so here are my three favorites. Fake Plastic Trees- the verse lyrics don't even make total sense to me but the chorus is so beautiful. THEN when the band comes in hard after the second chorus...the build-up...makes the song so heartbreaking. Just- The lyrics in this song are SO GREAT. I never know if he's talking about himself or someone else...and I love that. I have to write a song like that. The different guitar noises are so cool. Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was- This hurts my heart every time I listen to it. Maybe one of the best break-up songs ever written. Favorite Lyrics: "You broke another mirror. You're turning into something you are not." - High and Dry “She says she’d love to come help but the sea would electrocute us all.”- (Nice Dream) “Can’t get the stink off. He’s been hanging ‘round for days” - Just “You are so pretty when you’re on your knees. Disinfected and eager to please” - Sulk Honorable Mentions: - The guitar at the end of The Bends - The change of feel in My Iron Lung

I loved this. True rock. Child in Time is quite the journey. Would def listen again.

Every song seems like a song that’s not even close to being done. Her vocals seem like placeholders and instrumental sections go on for too long with not enough change.

I’ve never listened to Beck before and I really enjoyed this. I would have given this a 5 had I understood his lyrics a bit more. Some parts really reminded me of RHCP which is not a good thing because I’m always like…what are they talking about

This made me fall asleep. I would love to listen to this live but not a recording.

I didn’t like this.

I love this album. I don’t care what you say, Karl. Tighten Up is my favorite. “Livin just to keep going. Going just to keep sane.” Ugh love it. The mood of this is so sad and beautiful.

This felt like an album of b sides.

I liked the music for the first few songs but his voice is rough. Reminds me of a church singer. I got tired of it by the end but it was a short album. Favorite song was season of the witch

I loved this. Sad and beautiful. Lyrics are great. Definitely going to listen to again.

I actually enjoyed this. I liked she’s so loose the best. Don’t think I need to hear anything again.

I wasn’t insulted by this but that’s all I can say.

Jeez she makes singing seem easy. Best vocal performance (and also one of my all time favorite ballads) is Ain’t No Way. What I wouldn’t give to hang out with her for a day.

I listened to this twice. I could listen to this once a day for a whole month. Presente!

This album is anxiety inducing. I hated everything. I can’t believe this was allowed to be released much less hailed to be an incredible album.

I read a comment that said “If you don’t like this album you are homophobic”. People are so funny. I love this. I love his voice. I love the background vocals. I love the snare. I love the reverb on everything. It’s sexy as hell. I would have liked a different ending on I want your sex. Loved bis performance on Kissing a Fool.

I feel like I’m listening to a ghost sing. I think there are good lyrics in there but I can’t parse them out because of the delivery.

Maybe I just don’t like most British male-fronted bands? I’ve already forgotten this whole album

His voice kinda sounds like the Death Cab guy. There are specific parts I like but for the most part, the lyrics aren’t great. Endlessly definitely rips off Silent Night.

This just got worse and worse in my opinion. Couldn’t wait for this to be over

My favorite was Brokedown Palace. I enjoyed it but I don’t understand why they have such a crazy following. A lot of the songs remind me of church songs.

Okay. Hear me out. I think everything is great about this album except his vocals. I think they’ve got some great lyrics and I love the songs. Someone else has just gotta sing them. I especially liked Lend’s Some Dough.

The Beach Boys are so fun to listen to. It’s sounds wholesome even when songs are about some unwholesome topics.

It's really hard to get past his voice. I also hate almost every drum fill.

I really enjoyed it especially the more experimental moments. I don’t need to listen again

Somehow all my notes got lost from this but I listened to this album 4 times. What a masterpiece.

I enjoyed a lot of this. A lot of the writing reminded me of Billy Joel.

I liked this though I got bored at the end. I like the production of the album.

10 out of 10 for weirdness. I am always amazed when an artist puts out something like this. Its a ton of drama.

This was fine. No song really got me going. Really well done though.

I don’t know why people think they can be singers. It was good when there was no singing

Why would you release a record with 12 of the same songs?

If I had a wedding song, Let’s Stay Together would have been on a short list. He’s voice is so cool. And look at that album cover. Only criticism is I feel like the ends of all of the songs could be a bit more intentional.

Why does he write about bugs so much? I don’t think he has any business being a singer or a songwriter. Some of the songs are cool. I like the observer and the gash

So freaking good. I could listen to his voice forever

I really enjoyed this album. I had only ever heard BSS before. I really liked The Rolling People.

This was a lot of fun to listen to. Some of these songs I know but I didn’t know they were by The Who.

To listen to this was a big ask. No thank you

I laughed out loud when that scream happened. I wasn’t offended by this until he started singing Jennifer. That’s not how you say that name. I’m so not into this album.

I really like this album but I just can’t get down with the racist shit.

I really enjoyed listening to this and disco is so fun to dance to. Negative points for not knowing when to end a song.

This was like listening to someone do a shitty open mic set. No thanks

THE DRAMA. I love it. I added Washer to a playlist of mine. Maybe I should try and write spoken word. I enjoy this more than Mewithoutyou.

Positives: I like champagne and no body no crime. I think they both tell a cohesive story and don’t think she uses her usual magic tricks on these. Or at least these two songs are different enough that she isn’t leaning on them exclusively. I also love a mid-song pronoun change. Criticism/thoughts: Red is her best album and I hope it will come up during this project. In general, I think Taylor swifts main magic trick is writing lyrics that are specific in a song that also contains broad lyrics. Her lyrics that are super specific make you feel like you are reading her diary, which makes listening feel a bit wicked or illicit. Then she hits you with a broad lyric that anyone can relate to it. Inevitably, your reaction is “I can’t believe she gave me that glimpse into her life.” And then “wow she’s just like me”. For example in 'tis the season, she gives us a personal lyric "I parkеd my car right between the Methodist. And thе school that used to be ours" then follows it up with something that could apply to anyone "You can run, but only so far I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave." This juxtaposition is all over the album and I think that's why they call her a lyrical genius.

Well, that went by fast. None of the songs are memorable and honestly, I can't believe American Girl even is a hit.

I don’t know.

I’m really hating British rock

What a beautiful album. It’s moody and honest. Leaving the Table is my favorite lyrically. I’ll be listening to this over and over again.

Oof I did not like this. I thought he was also saying No Xmas for Donkeys.

This was okay. I feel like many of the songs had great rhymes but at the expense of the song’s theme. I had a hard time understanding what certain songs were about. I liked 4th Chamber and Shadowboxin’ the best.

I got really sick of her voice and lyrics by the end. I can’t even pick one song I enjoyed.

I almost gave this a 4 before I was violently offended by the Billie Jean cover. Otherwise I enjoyed listening but don’t need to hear it again

I found this incredibly boring

Part 1- loved it. Part 2a- not my fave Part2 b and c- they were fine. What was with all of the huffing and puffing throughout.

I didn’t like this nearly as much as You Want It Darker. Kinda had a bob Dylan vibe for different parts.

What a story teller. Also his voice is cool. However, I didn’t fall in love with any song and I don’t need to hear it again.

I LOVED THIS. Everything from lead vocals to background vocals to lyrics to cut outs to the moments in between songs were all great. I laughed out loud during Yo Mama and a few other times on the record. My favorites were 4 Better or 4 Worse. The phone call on that was great. I also loved Officer. I really loved them all.

2 hours?!?! That is really too much. I'm not sure I would even appreciate a two-hour Paramore album (actually, I probably would). House music just isn't for me. I listened in the background while I did a bunch of activities but if I was walking around the street or hearing this at a bar., I'd get sick of it quick. I guess I'd rather listen to this than some of the other English punk rock shit we have been listening to.

They are so good. Each album is a complete album and so different. No song pops out for me and I rarely go back and listen to this album but I think they get a 5 just for cohesion and production.

I had a hard time with the repetitiveness of the sample/beat in each song.

I LOVED this album when I was in high school. What’s interesting is that I still love so much of the music I listened to back then but NIN didn’t make the cut somehow. Listening to this was a nice trip down memory lane but I could go another 15 years before listening again.

I really enjoyed this. I think the lyrics in Hotel California are so great. It's definitely not the genre I would listen to on a daily basis but I think it's great.

I was really looking forward to this but I only find Stevie Nicks's voice interesting. Sisters of the Moon is my favorite

Eddie Vedder's voice has always annoyed me to my core. I actually think I would LOVE this album if someone else sang the songs.

This was the first album I ever bought myself (in third grade). It has been such a pleasure listening to this album throughout time and 1) figuring out what she was talking about 2) actually experiencing so much of what she is talking about long after I knew the words to the songs. Each song is so special. She’s mad and they added nothing “pretty” to her vocals. All I Really Want- Its throughout the album but it was so cool for a woman to be demanding without being teeny-bop sexual. My idols up until this point were Britney and Spice Girls. Also, “why are you so petrified of silence? Here can you handle this…” so cool. You Oughta Know- HBK used to do this song. Her vocal delivery in the beginning of each verse is so awesomely creepy. I remember how shocking it was when I heard “are you thinking of me when you fuck her.” I don’t even know that I completely understood what sex was. Bass on this track makes everything which I know is Flea and so maybe I would like RHCP if Anthony Keidis wasn’t so horrible. Perfect- Listening back on this song this time made me realize that she was the OG pop artist calling out what we expect of young women. Hand in My Pocket- This is another moment in this album that my 3rd grade self couldn’t believe she sang “chicken shit”. Probably my least favorite track on the album Right Through You- Top 3 songs on this album. I love the unhinged backup vocals. “Took me out to wine, dine, 69ed me but didn’t hear a damn word I said”. Every woman can relate. Forgiven- This is probably my favorite on the album. Each lyrics is so good. Her delivery is so haunting. Best lyrics “You know how us Catholic girls can be…We make up for so much time a little too late” and “I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man” You Learn- I don’t love this chorus anymore but I remember relating so much when I was younger. Head Over Feet- What an adorable love song. I wish someone picked this for weddings. Mary Jane- this is my second favorite song on the album. Vocal delivery is the best. Ironic- not a huge fan but the chorus is so catchy. Not the Doctor- “I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey. Hidden in the bottom drawer” and “I don't want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon” Wake Up- I don’t remember this song. The only song I don’t know all the words too. Your House- This was the reason I knew about ghost tracks. It’s so creepy. Love that is a capella and so different than the rockiness of the rest of the album.

I really enjoyed this album. Maybe the first new British rock band I liked. Rudy and If Everyone Was Listening were the best. Would listen again!

He sounds like a cross between Sturgill Simpson and Brian Elmquist (The Lone Bellow). This was fun to listen to.

This was pretty forgettable but I didn't hate it.

I liked the title track and then everything else was just okay.

The Ronettes are so cool. Thank god we didn’t have to listen to this not on Christmas. OMG I JUST READ ABOUT HIM. No thank you

the gang vocals start to blend together after awhile. some samples were really cool though.

If you have the business of having a 1.5 hour album, it has to be great. I appreciate some of the topics but I never want to hear any of these songs again.

Very jammy. Loved it. I already rated this I don't know why they are asking again.

I obviously owned (and maybe still own?) this CD. The music videos for these are ingrained in my brain. It’s funny listening to this realizing it’s basically a Beyoncé album when I did not even realize that when it came out. The repetition in these songs can get annoying at some points. However according to my rating scale it gets a 4 because Bootylicious and Emotion are songs I could listen to once a week for the rest of my life

I really liked this album. Wounds, venom and pressure were all great. She does a nice job picking themes for each song and her commentary is great. I just don’t understand how this and not similar albums (invasion of privacy or before love came to kill us) didn’t get on this list. I’m confused how that was determined.

I love this album. It is so clean and Axl Rose's vocals are so unique. It's pretty incredible that this was their debut album. Paradise City is so fun but I love all the songs.

There were parts I really liked (see: Hugebaby) and parts that were weird (see: Pigtails). Don't have to listen again. Special shoutout to song name: The Sound of Someone You Love Who's Away and it Doesn't Matter.

I love the percussion on this album. I love You Be Illin'. 4

Kinda sleepy time music. Could not get into it but maybe that’s just because I’m tired

This was better than I remember. There are some moments from this album that are spectacular. I do wish the more experimental moments were shorter. I really like the flow of the album but I found myself being like…alright let’s move on.

This is the closest I have come to not finishing an album. Hell no

I loved this. Will definitely listen again!

This is such a great record. The songs are so fun and obviously the guitar is incredible. This album is the definition of rock n roll.

Not for me.

I couldn’t tell you why I like this album more than all the other British rock bands we have listened to. My favorites were chemical world and Sunday, Sunday.

It's like a musical theater rock album. I don't know why it made me laugh. Maybe I'm losing my mind.

I forgot I was listening to an album multiple times. Then something would happen and it would scare me. The last song was especially creepy. Karl, we can add Krautrock to our podcast.

I love this genre but there wasn't a specific song that stuck out to me. I know from reading about it they didn't want to do ballads anymore but I like the ballads. Sorry.

Everything about this is cool. This would have been so cool to see live.

What an incredible album. His voice is even better live. This must have been so much fun to be at. Only criticism is I wish it were longer!

Weird.

There were some cool parts to this but ultimately I feel like so many of the songs sound like each other.

I really don't listen to this kinda music a lot and I really like it. I think Bikini Kill is so cool and Le Tigre is as well. The songs kinda sound similar but I like the lack of levity and punkiness of it all.

I liked this at the beginning and then felt like I was listening to a shitty cover band. Whisky woman was my favorite.

This sounded like a shitty Elliot Smith wannabee. I think some of the instrumentation was cool but the vocals did not do it for me.

Willie is such a good song writer. His songs are like a warm hug. This makes me want to write my own concept album.

God, I love her voice. This is not my favorite album of hers. (Music Box is the best followed by Mariah Carey for anyone who is asking. My All is a banger though which is why it deserves a 4 from me. She really can (could?) sing.

This is fine. The songs start to blend together. The hits great.

I really loved this. It got boring at the end but it’s funny and gritty and I love it. i would listen to this whole album again.

I love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and there are some great songs on here like Y Control but I lose enthusiasm throughout the listen. Hopefully this isn’t the only YYYs album.

I just could not get into this.

I really liked the beginning half of this. There are some lines or even just vocal deliveries that is brilliant. Sometimes I wish songs were more thought out musically.

I thought I was going to like this more than I did. It sounded like a DJ messing with songs I would have liked. I also hated Dreamin

What a train wreck of an album. Why there snoring in ex-supermodel. Some of the train wreck moments were fun but jeez…it was too wild. Also, lol the vocals on chicken blows.

OMG the beginning of Human and Wherever I roam are perfection. I will listen to this album over and over again

It’s the same song over and over.

This would have gotten a 1 from me if not for the title track. I liked that a lot. Everything else should have been on the cutting room floor.

I didn't think there was anything special about this album.

You know when you meet someone and you know it’s not going to go well and then as the conversation progresses, it gets worse and worse. That’s what listening to this album was like.

It’s possible I would like this a bit more if they mixed his voice differently. When it’s just one clean vocal it doesn’t really bother me as much I guess. I

I just kept turning this lower and lower. I have to say somehow this is better than the last one we listened to.

I really enjoyed this. I thought the entirety of the album was well-produced. I can't tell you why his voice DOESN'T annoy me but it doesn't and I feel like it should. I love supergroups like this. So cool when people who are friendly within the industry decide to collaborate with buddies in other bands. I would listen to a few of these songs again.

Wow. There’s a lot of anger here. Raining blood is a masterpiece. I would love even more tempo or feel changes at certain points so that the tension can ease up for a minute. But I guess that’s the point. I would love to see Slayer live.

If you have nothing to say, don’t say it. Definitely do not write lyrics about cauliflower.

This is great. fame is so cool. Background vocals on whole album sound incredible. I would say that in the context of the world, it would be a 4 but I’m gonna make it a 5 in the context of the 1001 albums

God this is so dramatic but great. Favorites were photograph and Billy’s got a gun. Least favorite was rock of ages. 😘

God the drummer is incredible. I would listen to 1001 albums just like this.

It would be cool if it wasn't the same thing over and over again.

I would have given this a two but Bowie really liked it so it gets a 3.

What a cool album cover. I feel like this would have been so cool to see live and it doesn’t translate super well to recordings.

Not my favorite. Some of it sounds like George Michaels wanna be. House music was cool at times but just hard to listen as anything but background music.

There are so many reasons I SHOULD like this album 1) they are Irish 2) there’s a song about New York 3) my dad listens to this album all the time THE LYRICS AND MELODY ARE SO BAD. It feels like the whole band wrote songs and then he just made some shit up to go on top of it. This is a no for me.

Listening to this was like listening to nails on a chalkboard.

This was great. At times, it has after laughter vibes…sarcasm, sad words over happy music. Enjoyed this a lot

I liked this more than i thought I was going to. I liked Spunky the best. I'm not sure why this is on the list but I feel that way about a lot of the albums.

I thought this was pretty cool and I was going to give it a 4 until I heard the last track. Wow

I thought I was going to enjoy this more than I did. My favorite was Idiots Rule. Also, I am obsessed with the title "Ted, Just Admit It..."

That made me super sleepy. The worst song was 200 bars. I can count myself thank you very much

Is incredible how the venue is captured here. I love when Johnny laughs and makes comments. He’s so cool. His voice also sounds incredible.

I was so bored listening to this I’m sorry I know that probably hurts your soul.

They really didn’t hook me in. Even the chaos of 1970 should have been right up my alley but it wasn’t.

There were parts that were really cool. I really appreciate the rawness of this. Love a lot of the lines. Break it up was my favorite.

I loved this. Listened twice. Favorites were The One You Love and Old Whores Diet. The Art Teacher is so fucking interesting. And funny? And sad?

A solid album. This took me back to middle school.
