Exile on Main Street-stones Ziggy stardust-Bowie Pink moon-nick drake I’m still in love with you- al green Harvest- Neil young Eat a peach-allman bros Young gifted and black-Aretha All these albums came out the same year as this, why on earth is this on the list??

I can’t stand music like this. The harmony and arrangements are so convoluted just for the sake of dick-swinging and maybe to mask the shitty songwriting. It tries to be “funky” but without an ounce of soul or feeling. The vocals and lyrics are horrible. Every song was worse than the last. I hope I never have to hear this again.

The king! This record sounds so good, it was recorded in RCA studio B in nashville, everything that comes out of that room sounds amazing. I love the reverb on the vocals and the minimalist arrangement on fever. 4.9 because I like the earlier Elvis best

I’m getting pretty irritated with how many objectively horrible albums are on this list. art is subjective and listeners have different palates but come on, this is just objectively terrible. The playing is trash, the songwriting is trash and the mixing makes it almost impossible to listen to. There’s nothing redeeming about this to me. 0/5

Really did not enjoy this one. 1.5 bc jimmy page is on track one, but I’m not a fan of anything mickie most produced. Almost every song is about King Arthur or something and they all sound like medieval folk songs. Too much harpsichord for my taste

Interesting lyrics and good band but just can’t stand his voice and harmonica playing

Great sounds, good songwriting. Great mixing and arrangements.

Really sick one. Cool songs and vibe. Dig the surfy guitars on skidmarks

How many Beatles albums are going to be on this list? This ones pretty good for a Beatles album Their voices are really annoying (not as bad as Dylan) Unpopular opinion-I do not like Norwegian wood Ooh la las on track 3 are the same as school of rock song lol In my life is a good song Despite rating I prefer this to bob dylan

Really loved this album. I have no idea what they’re singing about but the grooves and players are so sick and the arranging is great. The drums and guitar really remind me of early chess blues and junior kimbrough. Al Hasidic terei - cool triple groove Sekou oumarou- sweet guitars Ai tchere bele- reaaally sick guitar grooves

I like daft punk, but not this album. I know it’s their first so it’s gotta make the list, but I think the later stuff (discovery and human after all) is more creative and interesting. I’m typically not excited by electronic/loop based music, but as far as that stuff goes they are probably the best. Really found myself struggling to make it to the end of this one I truly hate anything with a house music feel (Phoenix) There are a couple quintessential daft punk moments (da funk)

I really hate the tones of this album, theres so much high pitched staticky awful noise. The guitars make me want to die. I’m on track two and I want to pull out all my hair. This whole style and vibe of music just doesn’t do it for me. So boring.

I wouldn’t listen to this again, but they put a ton of effort into these arrangements and there’s a lot of interesting stuff going on. There are some crazy synths and cool guitar moments, but the singing is a little underwhelming.

What is there really to say? Some of the best riffs and grooves of all time Track 1 the kick drum thing and guitar break and guitar scratch stuff at the end Guitar noise on settle for nothing is awesome Bullet in your head is so sick, I’ve been sleepin on that one Know your enemy has such a cool guitar intro, Tom morello is the shit Fistful of steel intro is one of the sickest things I’ve ever heard

Kind of feels like a soundtrack. Especially side 2 Art decade has some wild futuristic science-y sounds Gated snare on new career sounds crazy Haven’t read reviews yet but I bet this was negatively reviewed when it was released and positively reviewed in hindsight.

I dig the New York monologue at the top This is gonna be a long one, it’s only track 2 and I’m bored as hell 007? Lol Maybe I’m missing something but I’m not sure how this one made the list

Really similar to the smiths, not bad I kinda liked it but had trouble staying interested

I like the slow tempo and surfy guitars on big black car. Feels like heroine kinda. Acoustic sounds nice on femme fatale Cool bass playing on this tune also I like the songwriting, arranging and instrument sounds on this album. Singing isn’t blowing me away but it’s not awful. Strings are kinda cool Nice sounding reverb on night time Oboe?? Didn’t see that coming I feel like this album is getting increasingly orchestral Oh it’s rock n roll again (til the end of the day) A couple of these songs aren’t available on Spotify

Lol what a coincidence!! The queen is dead! Decent album but the smiths just annoy the hell out of me for some reason. So overrated in my opinion. Giving it a 2 cause there is definitely worse music on this list

This is actually a pretty great album (besides yellow submarine) the songwriting is great Listened on an original mono pressing and noticed a bunch of stuff that I haven’t noticed before on the remasters/digital versions. Taxman and I want to tell you are my favorites, both Harrisons. I guess he’s my fav They sound good on the parlor music type McCartney songs, but it is tough listening to them play rock n roll because they are always just holding on for dear life with the feel/groove

Some good time country songs but the 80’s digital country tones just aren’t the same as the old timey stuff twangy guitars are happening but they sound so thin and lame compared to George Jones records Little rock n roller is a truly horrible song. Sounds like something we would have to play at a wedding Really not digging the twinkly 80’s piano on hillbilly highway Any album with pedal steel is gonna get a decent rating at least. But man everything sounds so bright and digital. I miss the warmth of old 60s country. Surprised but I actually kinda like the synths sounding guitar on fearless heart Really like the last track. Singing is great, mandolin is great

Really cool album, very interesting songwriting. Weird and emotional. Not sure if I’ll revisit this album or not but super well made album

Really weird interesting goofy fun album. Only songs I knew were rock lobster and love shack. Dig the guitar tones and surfy vibe His singing is kinda annoying but totally works for the songs If it were only the gal singer I probably would listen to this more

Cool album! I usually don’t like electronic/dance music much because the tones are too sterile and the songwriting is lazy, but I thought this album was really thoughtful and creative and the tones were nice and warm and sounded like the 70s. Cool synths and drum machines.

Wow, what a great album. Probably my fav radiohead album. Feels a little more like rock n roll than their other stuff, but still uses dynamics well. So many cool details and nuances in all these songs, down to every little guitar effect and layer By far my fav album on this list so far

I really wish I could hear this in context, it’s hard not to listen with modern ears. In 1970 this was probably great but it just sounds so generic to me. The keyboardist sounds very educated It’s hard not to compare any 70’s rock to zeppelin. I’m sure I’m gonna say that a hundred more times over the course of this activity. Child in time hits remind me of Achilles last stand. Really wild journey of a song. I love the insane ending. It sounds like they spliced the final hit. Organs are sick, but the organ-heavy rock sounds so generic and dad-rock. ( granted they were probably some of the first to do it)

Pretty cool and vibe you. I’ve only heard their live in NYC record and I remember liking that one. Off the bat I thought i was gonna like it a lot but by the end I kind of lost interest 3.5

4.7 I love this album. So many great sounds and layers on here. Chaos solo at end of where it’s at is so great Love the steel in sissyneck Great hi hat in readymade Girl from ipanema at the end of readymade?? Lol 😂 Guitar Noise in high 5 so sick, and is that a cuica?? Classic 90s drum sound Classic 90s vocal sound (cake, mike doughty)

good jazz album. Take five and blue rondo are classics. I love Paul desmonds playing, they get into some cool grooves 3.5

If this record was on at ethyls or rocka rolla, I’d be into it. Great background music for a Brooklyn bar. I usually get bored by anything in this genre and this was maybe a little bit more interesting than some. I want to like punk more than I do. Just kinda sounds like mediocre rock n roll

I was pretty bored by the end of this record There are some nice tones and layering and production but ultimately the songwriting is not very interesting and if you’re writing riff-based songs I think you need stronger riffs 2.5

Not sure why this is on here. There’s nothing glaringly awful about this album but it just sounds like stock 70s music to me. I was pretty bored by the end of this one

Really did not enjoy this one. 1.5 bc jimmy page is on track one, but I’m not a fan of anything mickie most produced. Almost every song is about King Arthur or something and they all sound like medieval folk songs. Too much harpsichord for my taste

I love the way Wilco pairs noise with simple folky songwriting. I love Jeff tweedy’s voice and songwriting, this album is right up there with YHF for me.

I think this would be okay background bar music, but I didn’t really enjoy actively listening to it. Not super interesting or memorable but some semi-creative moments and nice guitar feedback. 2.5

Nothing memorable about this album to me. Also apparently the “songwriter” got sued for not giving credit to the actual songwriters and musicians. Lame.

Amazing. Aretha is the best and everything she did with the muscle schoals boys is incredible. Every song is a classic. On the bonus version of chain of fools the baritone guitar is so badass

Killer band!! Loved this one. the strings remind me of chic.

Love this record! David Byrnes has such an interesting approach to songwriting and art, and I’m a fan of the stuff he did with Brian Eno. I like the afrobeat inspired vibe on this record, some really interesting guitar parts.

I was already going to give this a 1 because I hated it so much, but the last song really put it over the top. Both “I want your sex” songs were so creepy.

I could never listen to this again. Really not digging the vibrato, especially in bird girl

Super generic super forgettable

Funny bird is a crazy journey. Delta sun bottleneck stomp sounds like bron-y-aur stomp.

Some ok moments but overall what a drag

Some of these songs are super nostalgic for me, like friend of the devil and truckin. Brokedown palace is cool. I think they write some great songs but the performance is not exciting to me. The vocals are not good

No serious complaints but again not sure why this made the list. Not very excited by anything on this record

The Beach Boys are always such a good time. I love the Phil specter/wrecking crew vibe on this record, the vocals are incredible and the arrangements/instrumentation are so cool.

Objectively I think this is a great album. Champagne supernova is a great song. I would never choose to put this album on but I think it’s really well done and some interesting songwriting.

This is the first music I have a conscious memory of hearing, and I listened to this record pretty much everyday between the ages of 3-10. I can’t even begin to describe how important this record is to me. I could go on and on but this record is absolutely legendary and one of the most important things to ever happen to rock n roll. 10/5

Wasn’t super familiar with this whole album but there are some legendary songs on here. Her playing, singing and songwriting are top tier, she is truly unique and such an important part of American musical history.

I can’t stand music like this. The harmony and arrangements are so convoluted just for the sake of dick-swinging and maybe to mask the shitty songwriting. It tries to be “funky” but without an ounce of soul or feeling. The vocals and lyrics are horrible. Every song was worse than the last. I hope I never have to hear this again.

I’m a fan of Steve winwood, I listened to a lot of traffic and blind faith growing up. He has a great voice/feel and is a great player. There were some really good moments on this album. I enjoyed listening but it wasn’t super memorable for me and idk if I’d listen again

So weird and so interesting. I always appreciate records like this, it’s so wild and unpredictable and keeps you engaged the whole time. The songwriting/production and vocals are strange and unique. Not sure I’ll be listening to this again anytime soon but this was by far one of the most unique and intricate albums on this list so far.

This album was cool, I’ve kind of slept on Elvis Costello. The bass playing is pretty sick on this

Some cool guitar noise and that’s about the only thing I enjoyed about this. The lack of syncopation (or any rhythm other than constant straight 8ths) was just killing me by the end of this record My friend goo is is so stupid lol 1.7

The harmonies are incredible and the playing is great. Nothing wrong with this record at all but I think you kinda get the picture after the first song or two. These guys are great but if I’m gonna listen to white guy harmonies I think I’d prefer the everly brothers. 2-3 idk

I love everything about this record. His voice is amazing, al Jackson’s drumming is great, the horns are so tight and the organ is sweet. And the way it’s recorded is just so warm and beautiful. The only critique I could think of is that the lyrics maybe aren’t the most interesting but who cares!! This record vibes like no other

Kinda cool album but they kinda lost me. The singing/songwriting isn’t super interesting or memorable to me. Love the drums on the first track, buggin, waiting for a Superman, Vocals really remind me of Ryan Adams on spark that bled.

The king! This record sounds so good, it was recorded in RCA studio B in nashville, everything that comes out of that room sounds amazing. I love the reverb on the vocals and the minimalist arrangement on fever. 4.9 because I like the earlier Elvis best

Boring

I loved The Who when I was a kid so it’s tough to rate, but if I’m gonna listen to British rock it’s gonna be Led Zeppelin or the stones. Some of these songs are nostalgic and cool. Not a big fan of the bo diddley cover.

Never heard this record and surprised it’s on this list considering the rest of her career/discography. I’ve never been a huge fan of her voice, but I like some things she’s done, like grievous angel and some of the other stuff with gram parsons. Some of her live stuff is kind of cool. Bruce Springsteen and his wife sing backup on track 4 of this record. 2.7? I wouldn’t listen again

What a bizarre record. if they left out all the vocals I would give this a higher rating, but they’re so weird and bad it ruins the droney noise vibe, which actually could be kind of cool. I honestly thought I was going to have a worse time listening to this than I did. There are some cool noises and I kind of liked the piano piece. 1.7

Fun album, but everything in this album is recycled. All the best moments IMO are either samples or covers (bob marley, Roberta flack etc.) some of the skits are funny and the hold em fold em sample in cowboys is hilarious.

So great, Nile and Bernard are legends and all the players are top notch. The strings are iconic. 4.5 cause I don’t love the ballads and I think there are better chic records

These songs all sounded like sloppy scratch demos to me, the playing is terrible and nobody took the time or effort to produce or write parts. All the guitar is just power chords and the drumming sucks and I don’t think the songwriting is interesting enough to cover that up

This album was bizarre and cool, I like the loud guitar noise. The last song’s guitar parts are so unhinged. Washer and the last song are my favorite I think. I really enjoyed it but not sure if I’ll listen to it again. 3.5 I think?

I know she is a good songwriter and this record is very masterfully done but I really wasn’t moved or excited by anything on this. It’s hard for me to get excited about any music that sounds this polished.

A classic. Breakdown is my fav TP song

One of my favs! Charlie byrds playing is really cool on this. Probably my fav of the 60’s American bossa crossover. A perfect record!

More stock British rock, not really into it

What a cool record. It just got better and better. Fav song was leaving the table, I love the guitar in that one. Sounds like ry cooder. Huge fan of the string outro. I love when records have themes like that. 4.7

Accidentally wrote this review under GZA, so here is my GZA review: I enjoyed the presentation of this album. I like how a lot of hip hop albums have these little interludes, it makes it feel truly like an album as opposed to a bunch of songs. That being said, it’s really hard for me to stay interested in songs when they’re loop/sample based. I know it’s all about the lyrics but I just automatically check out when the production is like that. I will say that for a hip hill album the production was a little more interesting than average and some of the chopped grooves were kind of cool. But ultimately it all just feels like background music to me. 2.7

I tried twice to get through this and failed. Maybe not the worst band I’ve ever heard but definitely in the running. 0/5

I have a hard time rating this one. The playing and arrangements are so cool. I love all the guitars on this record and jacos playing is beautiful. I have a lot of respect for Joni but there’s something about her voice that I never really got into. The spoken word kind of poetry singing doesn’t really do it for me.

I listened to the 80’s one first and it was okay, but I was a little bored by the end. The 60’s one I really liked! Some really cool songwriting and arrangements. I like the vibe of the whole album and I would definitely listen again

I think I actually liked this one more than hejira. The songwriting I thought was a little more interesting, and I like that there’s more singing and less of the spoken word stuff. Still not a huge fan of her lyricism. Apparently the jungle line is the first commercially released song with samples used.

His playing is so incredible, this might be one of the best solo albums out there. To make a solo album this interesting and capturing is pretty impressive. His vocalizations are hilarious and I laughed out loud in a couple of spots. 4.5

Wow I can’t believe how different his voice sounds from the other record. I like You Want it Darker better. The lyrics are somewhat interesting but I wasn’t really excited about anything else on this record.

YEE HAW

Really enjoyed listening to this. The lyrics are hilarious and I loved all the jazz samples. Not sure if I’ll listen again but really fun record

House music is a little torturous to me. In my personal level of hell there would be house music playing constantly. 1.4because it’s marginally more interesting than some house music I’ve heard, but there’s no way I’m gonna make it through two hours of this album

I don’t know this record as well as some of their others, but I’ll definitely be coming back to this one. Quintessential Radiohead, amazing songwriting and really interesting arrangements.

Fav song was by the time I get to Arizona, cool fuzzed out riff and choir sample. I don’t wanna be your n*** had a sort of cool guitar sample. Some kind of cool production on this album but a lot of the songs sounded the same and it was kind of repetitive/forgettable. Probably won’t listen again

This is a great soundtrack for being on the subway. I’m not sure I would listen to this again intentionally but I’m glad it exists and I had a fun listening to it. It’s so grimy and industrial sounding

Hotel California is a perfect song, knocked it out of the park with that one. I did not really enjoy the rest of the album. The ballads were just excruciating. All the singing/playing/production is top notch, perfectly done, but at times it’s a little too easy-listening for me.

Truly a masterpiece. the production and arrangements are so great on this record. Lindsey buckingham is kind of a maniac but his songs have some cool percussion and weirdness. I definitely like the nix/mcvie songs better, they’re so vibey and beautiful.

This is like the espolon of rock. It’s definitely better than the rail, but it still feels pretty generic a lot of the time. Some of the songs are iconic and interesting, but at the end of the day it’s kind of derivative and there’s so much guitar rock I’d rather listen to

This is such a perfect 90s album. So many iconic songs. I love the classic 90s drums sound and all the guitar parts and tones. The songwriting is so great and the arrangements are really interesting. The tonal center changes in head over feet are so cool. Favorite moment was guitar noise in right through you

Really weird and creative album. Not something I’d listen to but interesting. Some of the more dramatic moments almost remind me of queen. Asylum is like queen meets Pink Floyd.

I almost love this record. I love the tones and production. The reverb on the vocals sounds amazing and the guitars sound so good. The arrangements seem a little lacking but still achieves a cool vibe. Sometimes I love his voice and sometimes it really bothers at me. Everybody’s talking is a great tune, I thought Harry Nilsson wrote it

This sounds like nothing. There is nothing remotely interesting about this record to me. Every song sounds the same. The only silver lining is that all the songs are like a minute long.

Ten years ago I would’ve loved this record, the players are top tier, grooves are tight and the production is fantastic. It’s flawlessly executed but it feels very safe and generic; it never really feels like they are taking any chances or reaching for anything.

Hard to rate a Christmas album but I used to really like this one. Really gotta separate art from artist here, but his arrangements and sound are pretty amazing.

Reading down a list of samples on this albums and it’s like all my favorite stuff. would rather listen to a playlist of their samples, Bc honestly their voices are so obnoxious it was hard to listen to an hour.

Boring, tired, uninspired. Nobody is playing like they want to be there. Really boring songs. Don’t think I’m gonna make it all 93 minutes. 1.5

This is such a great record! All the grooves are so tight but they still feel raw. Drums and guitars sound awesome, love the fuzzed out Isley tone. A lot of great funk records have cheesy stupid ballads, but even the ballads are great on this one!

Some classic hits. Never heard the intro to bootylicious before. Honestly though all these songs sound exactly the same to me. Apart from the nostalgia I personally really don’t like this style/era of production. Everything sounds so squashed and sterile and digital. The percussion loops/samples are so robotic and the vocals are so processed there’s just barely any human aspect to this music. I know I’m not the target audience for this but I’m just not interested or excited about anything in these recordings. 2.5

Really enjoyed listening, super cool beats/samples, hooks and arrangements. Love the Yukimi feature on pressure.

So cheesy, so ridiculous, so over the top. Pretty impressive amount of hits for a debut record. Needless to say pretty sick guitars.

Some ok moments but very forgettable

Kind of repetitive but cool, I like the guitar vibe on a rap record. I think it’s actually Rick Rubin playing guitar on the title track. Raisin hell and you be illin are my favs. 3.7

Wow this is awesome! Never heard this before but 5 stars for the beautiful guitar voicings. Definitely coming back to this one.

So much I could say. A perfect record. Every song is a masterpiece. This was one of the first records that made me want to play music.

Sounds like the soundtrack for a 90s action movie. Kinda cool, kinda boring. 2.5

So much fun to listen to. Louis prima is awesome and hilarious and the band is super swinging. Makes me want to get wine drunk and make pasta.

Hell yeah. Iconic guitar record. Eddie’s shredding is obviously the highlight but he’s also an underrated rhythm player.

Very organ heavy. The drums are cool on terminator. This was maybe really awesome in 1968. Ina gadda is a good riff. Idk. 3?

More interesting than I thought it would be. Still not very interesting.

Wow I had a lot of fun listening to this. not sure if/when I’ll come back to it but so crazy. I never really got into rush; I usually don’t get too excited about super math-y music but this one is really cool. love all the noise. YYZ totally unhinged, I loved the shattering sound whatever that is. Limelight is a really cool tune too, guitar tone is awesome!! It’s like Led Zeppelin if you replace all the magic with science and math. Every song is an epic journey

I don’t think krautrock is for me. Maybe this album is important somehow but i found it incredibly boring

This is great! I think they took kind of a chance making this record, it’s way different and much darker than their other poppy motown hits and ballads.

I LOVE this album. There is another really great BVSC record with this Cuban singer Ibrahim ferrar. Mambo Sinuendo is another great ry cooder album kind of in this vibe.

His voice is so incredible and what a killer band. This would’ve been such a fun show.

Just finished listening and I can’t recall a single melody, or really anything remotely interesting about this record. The drums and synth pads and sequencers are so relentlessly mind numbing.

Didn’t finish it. it wasn’t that bad but i couldn’t do an hour of that

The samples are kind of funny and weird, but that’s the best thing I can say about it. Punk music is super boring to me. When the songwriting, performance, and production are all done at such a low level it’s really hard to find anything to be excited about

I’m only rating the original release, not the 7 cover tracks at the end I didn’t really get into it for the first half, but side B I really enjoyed! Doctor boogie has a really sick groove Randy newman’s version of “have you seen my baby” is a trillion times better Cool slapback vocals on evil hearted Ada, very elvis-y cool slide blues and saloon piano on 32-20 Whiskey woman is fun, chorus reminds me of Neil young helpless

I didn’t really enjoy this music, but i think it’s a thoughtfully made record. Interesting compositions and orchestration, and I like the intro and outro. Not really into the vocals. Favorite song was another pearl, Really cool drums and guitar and a nice groove.

Really cool concept record. Great songwriting and storytelling, I love how he references earlier lyrics later in the record. I love the whole outlaw country sound and movement, I like Waylon’s records a lot more but this one is great.

Really great, such an amazing voice, great band and top tier songwriting. Feels like a gospel album at times. It felt a little long and repetitive by the end but great stuff

Really tough to rate. Started off hot with like a prayer, and I love the prince contribution. “Promise to try” was pretty torturous, then dear Jessie was pretty awful too, although the ending was kind of cool. and the ballad after that was miserable. But then keep it together was sick! Spanish eyes was weird but points for castanets. Last song was pure prince. Emotional rollercoaster here but I guess 3? I kind of think the bad outweighed the good on this album for me though

Not really a fan of punk music but at least there is some decent guitar playing on this one. I think it’s way too derivative to be included in this list. It’s a bummer when you hear 5 seconds of a record and immediately know what the rest of it is going to sound like, but that’s most punk records I guess.

Had a great time listening to this, I haven’t listened to this whole record probably since high school. I like show your bones more, the production and writing is a little more exciting but this is a cool trashy garage rock album. I like the guitar noise in no no no, sounds like a hawk or something. Objectively idk how good this is but it’s nostalgic to me. 3.5? 4?

I love this record! So many iconic songs on here. Great songwriting and production. Side B is full of great guitar solos. Not a big fan of “I’m in touch with your world” but the rest are great.

1001 Leonard cohen albums. I like you want it darker better, this one was okay. Favorite song was famous blue raincoat. I like how he brings back the triplet guitar thing like a theme. Good lyrics I guess? Idk this record didn’t do much to me.

Stevie wonder song had me cracking up. Bass playing is killer! Jesus song was kinda funny too but idk if it was supposed to be. Had a great time listening but dunno if I’ll listen again

I’m getting pretty irritated with how many objectively horrible albums are on this list. art is subjective and listeners have different palates but come on, this is just objectively terrible. The playing is trash, the songwriting is trash and the mixing makes it almost impossible to listen to. There’s nothing redeeming about this to me. 0/5

I loved this! I honestly enjoyed this way more than any Metallica studio album I’ve heard. The orchestral versions work so well, the whole thing is like an intense soundtrack. This would have been so great to see live, I’m sure there’s a video of it and I’m definitely going to watch it.

Sometimes I think it’s annoying how steely Dan has to have everything in every song, there’s like congas and triangles, quartal licks, a trillion different chords and rhythmic hits and vocal harmonies and organs and Rhodes and piano and xylophone and vibraphone and wah pedals and slides. It’s just so much and even though the playing is great it just always sounds a little stale and uninspired to me. The playing is obviously flawless but I never really feel anything when I hear steely Dan Trashy guitar tone in Boston rag is cool There are better steely Dan records

First track was kinda cool, I like the retro synth vibes but ultimately I will forget that I listened to this

Kinda generic, it’s like all 60’s bands rolled into one. Reminds me of the Beatles at times, the who, the dead and the singer sort of reminds my of joe cocker in a couple moments. Not terrible but some of the guitar playing and drumming was a little annoying

Exile on Main Street-stones Ziggy stardust-Bowie Pink moon-nick drake I’m still in love with you- al green Harvest- Neil young Eat a peach-allman bros Young gifted and black-Aretha All these albums came out the same year as this, why on earth is this on the list??

I like the concept and it was fun listening to once, but I wasn’t really excited about the music and probably wouldn’t listen again. This would be a great musical

Why are there two of these on the list? Is this one better than the other one? Maybe, who cares? 1.1

This has to be the dude from arctic monkeys. The orchestral vibe is kind of cool and interesting. “My mistakes” totally sounds like a bond song. One of the better modern British bands on the list. noise ending on I don’t like you anymore was kind of cool. Kind of an interesting record but didn’t really blow my mind and probably wouldn’t listen to it again.

This is so crazy lol. I enjoyed listening to this, idk if I will again, but hell yeah I’m glad this is exists

Ughhhh Bonus decimals for trying to make it interesting with the orchestra. 1.3

Amazing record, such a great listen from top to bottom. Cool writing, cool vibe, great players. Bowie has some really cool records but this might be my fav. Fame one of the coolest Bowie songs

Idk bands like Def Leppard are kind of lame IMO, like the songs all suck and it’s just shreddy guitars and screamy vocals and cheap thrills that record companies were churning out to fill the void of Led Zeppelin. It all kind of sounds the same to me. I like moody clean guitars in photograph and there was some fun shredding throughout Crazy that the guitarist was fired and replaced in the middle of making this record. I like enormous 80’s drums but this drum sound was not really doing it for me.

So sick. mannish boy is so iconic and this is such a perfect blues record. James cottons harmonica is killer. I love the drum sound throughout. Somehow they feel wonky but super groovy at the same time.

This is was pretty fun. Cool sounds and cool grooves, I thought I was going to like it less so was pleasantly surprised

I think I would have enjoyed this way more when I was 14 smoking weed for the first time. I found it a little boring but there are some interesting moments and kind of cool sampling. Decent background music I guess but wasn’t really moved by it.

Love the sleazy trashy vibe. According to the band, this record did a good job of capturing their live sound, but I kind of feel like it doesn’t translate super well. This is a band you have to see in a basement venue where the floor smells like beer

There are some ok moments but honestly what’s the point? This sounds like hotel lobby music

Idk. I used to kind of like u2 and was looking forward to listening to this one. Kinda disappointed. They are so cheesy and that’s gotta be the worst song ever written about New York. They do have some decent songs but they’re not on this album. I’m sure we’ll get at least one more u2 album on this list.

Really well made album. Every breath you take is honestly such a good song. Mother is one of the most unhinged songs I’ve ever heard. So weird

This was cool, I enjoyed listening to it. Probably won’t listen again but fun songs!

Kinda cool. I like some of the weirdness of it. Kind of beck-ish. The monster song was in Shrek. I like the weird solo in that song

This is great. 4.5 His voice is awesome and I love the slap back in some songs. I never really got into CCR albums, kind of always thought all their songs sounded the same (and I still kind of do) but it is really sick! Night time is the right time, ray charles is a million times better. Dig the double vocals and triplet thing in sinister purpose

Pretty solid rock record but I didn’t feel like there was anything super unique about it. There’s so much great rock out there I probably wouldn’t revisit this one. Dave Navarro has some cool moments.

3 in the context of this project, 1 in the context of all music. It was interesting and well thought out, I just kind of found myself waiting for it to be over

This is incredible. So cool that they played one of the inmates’ songs. Such a great band, Johnny and June are awesome. Sounds amazing for being recorded in a prison.

Such a masterpiece. Hard to know what to say about this one. All the quartal harmony on this makes it feel enormous. This would be so much better in mono or on speakers, the stereo hard-panning in headphones is really annoying.

This was ok, I get why it’s on the list but didn’t really enjoy listening to it

Lyrics and songwriting are so great. I love Patti smith as a writer and artist, she’s so cool and so creative. I enjoyed listening to the album but wasn’t really moved by much of the music. I’m usually not super into punk or folk and I feel like this is simultaneously both of those things

What an incredible opening for an album. Peach trees is amazing, so many cool layers. The piano is so cool, and the beachy slide guitars. The songwriting and harmony on this record are incredible. So haunting and beautiful.

This was pretty cool, some really cool sounds and 90’s drums. reminds me of soul coughing/mike doughty with some of the rap stuff. 3.5-4

Can’t believe we’ve had two Metallica records and they weren’t kill ‘em all or master of puppets. This was fun, some really cool riffs and grooves. Guitars sound amazing and huge throughout. love the solo on the title track and eye of the beholder. One is such a great song. Tempo changes were cool. I wish the drums were also huge sounding. one thing that kills me about metal is the sample replaced drums, even though I don’t think Metallica did that much, they still kind of have that sound with the paper-y little kick drum. I dig Metallica but I feel like it all kinda sounds the same. Its cool to see how they kind of paved the way for newer metal and hardcore bands, and by comparison Metallica is pretty soft and palatable and even pretty at times.

Wow what a ride. This is tough to rate objectively because it’s so ahead of it’s time. This must’ve been insane to hear in 1971. It’s so jam packed, in the first like 20 seconds there are synths, organ, les paul style country guitar, rock guitar, jazz guitar etc. Beginning sounds like Mario kart to me. I hate the bass tone in most of track one. The end of track one made me lol. The acoustic in the clap is really well done and the guitar tones are pretty good throughout. They really added every style of guitar to this record 😂 The trem-bass is cool and weird in starship trooper, But I don’t love that it’s panned to the left. I like the rawness of some of the guitar tones. This one is really testing my rubric, I feel like this objectively gets a 5 for arrangement and execution, but I don’t think I could listen to this again.

Everybody was so obsessed with this album when it came out and I just never really understood it. There’s nothing to dislike, it’s a very palatable record but I just think it’s so boring. I feel like it gets praised for its production, but I find it so underwhelming despite having every single engineer in LA and being recorded at EastWest. The credits list is absolutely stacked too, Andre 3000 and John Mayer on guitar, Charlie hunter, lalah Hathaway, Pharrell. But idk everything just sounds so flat and thin to me, and I don’t find his voice interesting at all. Guitars sound horrible on this record somehow. all the synths/keys all sound like midi even though I’m sure they’re not. I guess this is a three, but the disparity between how this sounds and how this should sound based on the credits is staggering

Loved this. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to the record straight down. Ibrahim ferrar is awesome on Latin Simone. His record with buena vista social club is great. Really sick and interesting beats. 19-2000 was a blast from the past, hadn’t heard that song in forever. Apparently the Clint Eastwood beat is just a stock preset from the Omni chord 😂

I never really liked aerosmith. They are like walmart-brand Led Zeppelin. I don’t think the songwriting is interesting or creative, I think they just ride off the electric bluesy guitar, which I also don’t really love the tone of. On paper they are so similar to led zep but it just does not work for me. It really sounds so stale and uninspired to me. It sounds like they needed to make a record and struggled to come up with any material. The rhythm section is a huge part of that too. None of the individual elements of this record really stand out to me. Rats in the cellar rivals U2 for worst song about New York.

So good. It must’ve been so fun to be in this band, their groove is amazing and he is such a great singer and performer. Every song is a blast

Hahahah another one! Really interesting and intentional use of sounds and textures. the tap dancing and fuzz guitar on a bunch of lonesome heroes. the french voices and the harmonica on the partisan. Similar triplet guitar parts to his other record. Organ on seems so long. Lots of jaw harp throughout I like his voice more later on in his career. I really enjoyed this and was going to give it a 4 but but by the end I was pretty irritated by all the jaw harp. It would’ve been an ok texture on one song but it got pretty out of hand lol.

1972

Anything she‘s done is a 5, one of my favorite voices of all time. To be honest I don’t really love these records with the full orchestral arrangements and strings. I always prefer small group stuff in general but I think it sounds especially cheesy in a jazz setting. That said I totally understand the desire for her to make a record like this in her career, there are so many great raw jam session and small group recordings of her, it’s cool that she wanted to do something different.

Really great songwriting and I love all the slide guitar. The doubled acoustic rhythm guitar is a really cool effect too. Maybe my favorite post-Beatles record

Good rock n roll. Badlands is a good song. This isn’t my favorite Bruce record but it’s still good. Clarence Clemons is great even if he does only have one lick 😂

Idk how to rate this. His lyrics are so smart but his songs are so dumb lol. Slim shady is great, the sound effects and commentary on the music industry are some of my favorite things about Eminem. Some of the violent/offensive stuff is super off-putting, and I know that’s the whole point but I don’t want to hear songs about beating women especially coming from Dr Dre! And the one about fucking his mom is so disgusting.

Wow this sucks.. the doors have like this romanticized aura of cool psychedelic vibey-ness but then you listen and they’re actually just a shitty band. Especially when they try to play the blues. Their feel is not groovy or soulful at all and maybe I’m missing something but Jim morrison is not that great. I feel like for every box they check there’s another band that does it better.

I liked this one a lot! The production is so cool, I loved the beat on what’s golden. I’ll def listen to this again

This is hard to rate. Objectively this is a ten. The songwriting is incredible and I love how unique their sound is. The whole thing sounds like a musical. He’s probably the best rock vocalist of all time and all the vocal arranging is crazy. Brian may has such great tones (and really going for the Hendrix thing in Brighton rock) but the rhythm section is not really interesting or special in any way and when that’s the case I just have a hard time getting super excited. Idk how to rate it bc they are amazing but I probably won’t ever listen to this again.

Never been a huge Neil young fan. He’s got some good songs, I like Harvest. Maybe this deserves a 3 but his singing brings it down to a 2 for me.

Sly is cool but there’s so much funk/soul from this era that I like better. It’s got a sloppy garage band sound to it which is kind of cool at times but I do wish it had better production value. I love raw recordings and imperfections but I think you need a higher caliber band to pull it off, it sort of falls flat for me. The writing isn’t really impressive which is fine if you have a great band, but this ain’t it. There are some sly songs that I do really like but this album just wasnt super exciting to me.

Hell yeah so great, this has gotta be the tightest band in the world. I love the arrangements and I love the warmth on all of the horns, such an amazing sounding record.

Candidate and I remember nothing are possibly the worst vocal performances in recorded history. Day of the lords reminds me of Alvin’s sludgefest. I hated this record. 1.1

I didn’t enjoy this in any way

I enjoyed this but it was way too long, I think a distilled version of this album would be a 4. Roses is one of my fav outkast songs

Love this album. Gasoline dreams is great. I really liked both of these albums but 3.5 hours of outkast is too much

Pretty insane. This was definitely the most interesting record we’ve had in a while. I wouldn’t necessarily come back to this record but it’s so well done I feel like it deserves a high score. The conception, arrangements and production are top tier and the band and singer all sound great.

What a terrible sounding record. The tones are so awful on this, I couldn’t stand it. The drum sound made me want to die. And there aren’t even any exciting solos or good pedal steel playing. Maybe this wasn’t the worst thing we’ve listened to but I had such a hard time finishing this one.

Not terrible but pointless and boring

I hate this. Sitting by the riverside is like a nightmare circus. Phenomenal cat and all my friends are some of the worst things I’ve ever heard. How can someone make a song like that. Steam powered trains sounds like a rip off of smokestack lightning. I hate when these square British bands play blues, it’s so cringe.

Pretty bad, did not enjoy this at all. 1.3

Pointless and boring but I liked it more than the doves. The songs don’t really go anywhere and the vocals are so weak. The vibe is ok at times but I feel like the vocals and songwriting really bring the whole thing down.

I was absolutely miserable listening to this. Apparently it’s pretty much universally praised as an amazing record but I hated every second of it. They went pretty crazy with instrumentation. Whoever made this list loves jaw harp.

Objectively a perfect record. A day in the life is such a great song. One of the most important and influential records of all time but giving it a 4 cause I don’t really like some of the weird goofy stuff like Mr kite.

really enjoyed this, all the instruments sound great. I love the rhythm guitar parts. The out of tune piano is trippy in invasion. Give me is even crazier with the tuning.

Some fun and catchy songs. Heart of glass is great and pretty baby was cool. 3.5

I never really got that into joni but this album is definitely a masterpiece. I’ve never really heard anything that sounds like it, the writing and the playing are both in a league of their own.

It’s like AI generated music

Really average sounding record. The way people talk about this, I really thought there was going to be something interesting but not really at all. Also plain shame is weird and creepy but I guess it’s about him turning down underage sex?

This was so much fun to listen to. Definitely coming back to this. The harmony is so wild, unhinged at times. I like fun street girl, big black Mariah, jockey full bourbon and tango a lot.

I like this album a lot, Atlantic City is a great song and I like state trooper too. It feels a lot like a concept album I even though I don’t think it’s intended as one. I like how raw it is compared with some of his higher production cheesier stuff. I’d love to hear the full band recordings from the vault.

I felt nothing listening to this.

One of my least favorites so far. Really bad.

Wow the entire album is about guns and dicks. Lyrically pretty boring. Some of the beats are cool but that’s only because it’s all lifted from parliament records. I hope George Clinton made a lot of money from all the g funk records.

Not a fan. I don’t know why but I’ve always really hated the song white rabbits. Good players and really great production, the reverb sounds especially great. All 60’s RCA records sound great though. Didn’t enjoy it otherwise.

Loved this. The arrangements are cool and the band sounds fantastic. Really great sounding record. Rhythm section is killer.

Really leaning into the cheesy 80’s production with the sax and drums. Dancing in the dark is cool.

Idk, I wouldn’t listen again but it captures a very specific vibe. 2.5?

Love this, love her, but they should’ve picked a different record. The one before this with Walter wanderly is probably my fav. Shadow of your smile is good too. But my foolish heart is a masterpiece and this record is stacked with some pretty heavy hitters. Parade I really hated but the rest is pretty good. By the standards of this project this album is like 20/5, but honestly I don’t even think this is one of her better records. 4.8

Ok I love Radiohead and I have enjoyed all of their albums but I feel like they are over-represented on this list. It’s a little crazy to include that many albums from any artist. I never listened to this one before and it is cool and vibey just like all their other records.

I hope we get band of gypsies bc that is Hendrix at his finest IMO. Everything Hendrix is a 10 for me, his music has influenced me probably more than anything else. It’s the first music I have a conscious memory of hearing and I’ve listened to it so many times over the course of my life. Crosstown traffic was always one of my favs growing up.

I really really hate the vocals. Love the gated snare, esp on out of the blue, slow train to dawn and mercy beat. Twilight of a champion is so bizarre My bar is set so low now, I’m like so excited when something has a mildly interesting arrangement.

Idk how to rate this. This is like not even in my top 10 miles records, but it’s obviously infinitely better than most of the garbage on this list.

I don’t like this band These kind of strokes-esque songs with the relentlessly shitty guitars get old really fast for me The singer has a unique voice but i always found it a little obnoxious Only tune I recognized was taper Jean girl but I didn’t realize that was them. Milk was maybe the most interesting song I was very psyched for this album to be over

Another great Radiohead record

Man this just rips. Panama is so sick, I love those little guitar squeals. EVH’s rhythm playing is so nasty too. I learned on wiki that Michael McDonald co-wrote one of the songs?? Lol

Really dug this! So dramatic. He’s got an awesome voice and the songwriting is really cool.

I have so much cognitive dissonance when it comes to steely Dan. On the one hand the harmony/arrangement/musicianship/production is all top tier, but it’s just devoid of anything emotional or raw. There’s nothing soulful or dark about it and so I just really feel nothing when I listen to it.

Didn’t enjoy this. Some of the songs I really hated. nothing can stop us was okay. 1.5

wasn’t really familiar with this album beyond reggae woman (such a great song) Cool instrumentation, this has got to be the only record with a pedal steel and a cuica. Brilliant songwriting/harmony as always Cool changes on they won’t go and I love the panned vocal interludes Haven’t done nothing is classic stevie So is the harmonica solo on please don’t go (that song is a real bop)

Not much to say. It’s the best selling record of All time and an objectively perfect record. It’s the reason music videos exist and arguably the most influential record of all time as far as the industry is concerned. Everything about it is top tier, writing, arranging, performance, production etc.

Totally boring and forgettable. What on earth could make this worthy of the 1001??

Really cool and interesting record. Such a great songwriter. Another record with cuica!

Pretty forgettable. Thom yorke duet was the best part. 2.5

I love her. I love when music can manage to find a balance between being weird and being catchy/listenable and she is a master of that.

Really cool, I never dug into their music too much but cool band. The heavy songs really rip and the ballads are pretty. probably didn’t need to be a double album, I think they could’ve cut half the songs and I still would’ve liked it the same. They get some really cool guitar tones. I love the range of their sound too, so different from song to song.

Really dug this and definitely going to revisit. Such masterful writing and arranging. I love jazz records like this that somehow manage to feel groovy and chaotic at the same time.

Mannnn this deserves a 5 for dear prudence, blackbird while my guitar gently weeps among, Julia… such amazing tunes, but the bad songs are SO bad. Sometimes I feel guilty for not really liking the Beatles and then I hear a song like piggies or wild honey pie and I’m like no way fuck this band. Giving it a 4 but if I could omit a few songs it would be a 5

Killer, I especially love the drumming in traveling man and the pedal steel intro to she never met a man.

So glad this is on the list! One of the most epic concerts ever and would be one of my first stops if I had a Time Machine. The solo to diminuendo and crescendo in blue is iconic and one of the best blues solos of all time!

Tough to rate. not really my style of music typically but I think he is objectively an incredible songwriter. Cool sounding voice, the guitars and overall sound of the record are really great which is always a big deal for me. I love the bass tone on wild world. His music has a special place in my heart bc my guitar teacher really liked him and taught me some of his songs when I was a kid. Trouble is my fav song of his.

I’m no huge fan of hers but I liked this more than I was expecting to. There are a couple light little fun time bops on the record but mostly I find her pretty underwhelming, especially her singing. The giddy up John Wayne lyrics in high horse had me eye rolling a bit. Nothing that I overtly hate about it but I do feel like she’s one of the more overrated artists of our time.

Thought this was gonna be a 5. The singing and songwriting is incredible but I really can’t stand the way the guitars sound(and really most of the instruments) it is a really great record that just kind of ruined it for me

Take me to the river was the only song I recognized, super cool song and album. His singing is kinda hilarious at times but I am a huge fan of David Byrne. 4? 5?

Absolutely not

Uniquely terrible. Each song was worse than the last. Completely unhinged in the worst possible way. In&out is truly one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. I think I would rather listen to kollaps

Absolutely not

Wow so many great albums and they’re all different. Never heard of this one but so good. So many cool layers and textures masterfully woven together. It never feels too busy and always serves the song.

Honestly a really well done record with interesting harmony and cool tones. But just a real drag to listen to

Haven’t given out a 1 in a while but this was well deserved. literally just recordings of heavy machinery and people screaming in German 😂 hilariously bad but there’s no way I could make it through the whole thing without out losing my mind.

Wow. What a journey. Never listened to ABBA much before but this is a definite masterpiece. The songwriting, harmony, layering, everything is just perfect. What a ride

Not for me. Actually a good sounding recording Magic hollow made me want to puke

Pretty cool, not sure I’d listen again but I enjoyed it and never would’ve checked it out otherwise. I liked a lot of the tones and production. The fretless bass is pretty trippy. She’s a weirdo and I like that.

Instrumentally this is a 5 but Kiedis almost brought this down to a 3 for me. The grooves and songwriting are so sick, such dope feels on these songs and the instruments sound great. Really unique sound. This is the only album of theirs that I really like. But Jesus Christ the vocals are so fucking annoying!!! He might be my least favorite lead “singer” of all time. Breaking the girl is the worst.

Tough to rate, I actually love the arrangements and concept and vibe. Some of the songs were cool, very dark and fucked up. I really liked the duet and the storytelling. But the vocals were so awful it kind of ruined the album for me. Such a shame bc it could’ve been a really cool album with a better singer. Someone like colter wall I think could’ve made this an amazing album. Idk 2.5?

I actually really enjoyed listening to this by the end. Made me laugh out loud at moments. Probably wouldn’t listen again. when I listen to super heavy music, I like the production and performance to be a little better. Drums sounded real shitty. But the guitars were kind of cool.

Unsure how to rate this, but I liked it better than the last few 3’s so giving it a 4 Obviously I have no idea what they’re saying, but the recording sounds really great. The drone-y repetitive grooves make it kind of meditative. Ko wone mayo is really cool and sounds a little different from the rest. The vocals (and instruments) sound a little more Carnatic than some other west African music I’ve heard.

Classic great sounding rock album. Pretty generic, I feel like if you’ve heard one you’ve heard them all. Still fun to listen to

That’s what we like to hear!!

Very unhinged

Pretty cool! French rap always sounds cool to me and the beats were cool.

Horrible. I’d rather listen to kollaps.

Love this record and haven’t listened in a long time. The songwriting is really beautiful and he’s got such a unique sound with the double tracked vocals and thin whispery voice.

Such a well done album, really great writing and production. kept me interested the whole time.

Really enjoyed it. I like the samples in girls.

Maybe this doesn’t deserve a 1 but I didn’t like a single thing about it. Bored out of my mind by track two

Some iconic songs on here but not my fav stones record. A perfect 4

I used to really love this album. I like commons records more than I like him, his rapping isn’t really my favorite but he always surrounds himself with good people. I love the corner, the drum best is great

Such a vibe. There are others I like more but enjoyed it

I didn’t think I was gonna like this but I enjoyed most of it and didn’t get bored or annoyed lol. The samples and vibes are really cool.

Yeah pretty cool and good idk

Steely Dan just doesn’t do it for me. This one was ok, I like reelin in the years.

Great band.

Made me lol a couple times and some cool moments but mostly boring

This might be the worst album of all time

Really enjoyed this album, I’ve been sleeping on van Morrison but he’s got some really cool and great sounding records

Really enjoyed this record. I love the production and vibe, sledgehammer is such a bop.

Objectively pretty good record but it got pretty boring. Head over heels was my fav.

Loved this!! Really dig the sludgy fuzzed out vibe, fav song was who sees you. Def gonna keep this on rotation and check out more of their stuff

I’m sure this album is somehow important in the right context, but I really didn’t enjoy it. 1.5

They are a really good band (besides kiedis) but idk it just doesn’t do much for me. It gets a little boring/annoying at times. So much better than a lot of stuff on this list

Curtis is sick. His voice is so cool and his records have such a unique sound with the strings and horns. Pusher man and Freddie’s dead are iconic.

It had its moments but I didn’t really enjoy it

Yeah ok

This didn’t really say anything interesting to me.

Iconic album with so many great songs.

There is a little nostalgia factor but this is pretty bad. Singing is bad, songs are not that interesting. It’s kinda like 2012’s version of the chainsmokers

Really classic and perfect recordings of these tunes. Interesting backstory on this record too.

Good record for a late night drive. I typically don’t like electronic music at all but I actually really dug this. It was weird and groovy and the arrangements were interesting, it never felt too repetitive like this kind of music usually is.

The killers are a good band and this is a good record

I enjoyed this but probably wouldn’t listen again. Mostly pretty good songs and I like the glammy vibe. The singer annoyed me at times but it fit the vibe of the album. The production was pretty good, kept me listening the whole time, but I think if it were a touch bigger I would’ve liked this more.

This was really something. Really wild stuff, but not really for me. Not a huge fan of the medieval organ sounding parts. Definitely a lot of work went into this and can appreciate that but I can’t imagine I’ll listen to this again

Very boring and forgettable

There are other albums of theirs I like more but rag, Dixie, and cripple creek are all great classics. I like the last waltz version of Dixie a lot more.

truly a masterpiece, and what a wild rollercoaster it is to listen to it. I was pretty much in awe the whole album of how you could write/create something like this. Fully deserving of a 5 but giving a 4 bc as amazing as they are, queen just isn’t really my thing.

Really like the bands playing on this, kind of a cool sloppy blues feel. The vocals I’m not super crazy about. Enjoyed listening but probably won’t go back

Did not enjoy. There is the one famous song on there which I guess is why they made the list.

Kind of cool, interesting voice but a lot of it felt pretty generic to me. Rapture song was kind of groovy. A lot of it felt like gospel. Ultimately not worth the effort of listening on YouTube.

Really cool. Everything he does is interesting and cool.

This is pretty sick. Never been a huge Santana guy but he’s got some really cool records. Great band and really cool percussion.

Kinda cool, idk 2.5?

Cool songs and production. Enjoyed it but probably wouldn’t listen to it all again. Sort of was ready by the end but there are some great moments on this

Kind of lame

Could probably write a book about this record. Rock n roll at its finest. When the levee breaks is one of the greatest moments in recorded history, especially the drums. So many iconic riffs and songs in this record. I’ve listened to these songs so many times, but I can’t imagine what it feels like to hear this record for the first time. Still gives me chills

Another absolute classic. There is a lot I could say about this record too, Gil Evans arrangements are so genius on this, and it’s such a beautiful reaction to what what was going on in jazz at the time.

American pie and Vincent are good, but the other songs kind of just sound like those, especially everybody loves me. Idk it’s definitely pretty good but just doesn’t really do it for me. Reminds me of James Taylor and jimmy buffet, kinda “old white guy on a boat” vibes

No. The third “song” where they we red e singing really brought this down to a one for me. Maybe a 1.5 up until that point

Hard to rate. I thought it was cool and unique and a little bit edgier and more raw than Beatles records. I’ve never really been a fan of John Lennons lyrics or him in general but whatever. 3.5?

What a legend. My dad loves BB so I heard this a ton growing up and it’s super nostalgic. Killer band killer playing killer singing. Would’ve loved to have seen this show.

Pretty much perfect just like all his records. Off the wall is my fav but they’re all iconic. Dirty Diana, smooth criminal and man in the mirror are all so good.

I forgot about this record and probably wouldn’t have revisited it, but really enjoyed listening to it!

I thought I liked this album more, some pretty good pedal steel moments I guess. You ain’t goin nowhere is a classic. Gram parsons voice always has kind of bothered me

This was cool and I feel like it’s influential but wasn’t really life changing for me

This album is so important to me and I think really shaped the way I listen to music. The balance between folky Melodies/songwriting and avant- grade/noise is just perfect throughout this record. The songwriting and layering are so unique and amazing on every song.

Kinda groovy at times but also pretty boring. Probably a 2 in real life but a 3 for this project

I thought I was going to love this, but actually found it kind of boring. Her dad Joao was an absolute legend. Maybe the electronic textures over the bossa was a new/interesting sound but it kind of felt like poolside background music to me. Nothing super memorable. 2.5/3?

Always hated this band and this album. Can’t quite bring myself to give it a one but thoroughly disliked every second of it

I hate this. We were overdue for something like this though, they’ve been kind to us lately.

I wouldn’t listen to this often but it is really cool and I like these TH/Brian eno records

This record is fantastic

I was super high when I listened to this and for a moment I thought I liked it. But there’s too many weird songs with the weird singer lol.

I thought this was one of the most boring records on here so far. Too much spoken word and it’s not even funny or interesting like parliament. And then the actual songs are super basic and generic sounding. I just didn’t find anything interesting about this.

More trash from the 60’s. I bet it was super uncool to like this band.

They’ve got a couple good songs here and there but everything besides the hits is pretty bad and not much fun to listen to. Idk 2.7?

This is probably good if you like bob dylan but I don’t. Everyone should stop listening to bob dylan and listen to John prine instead.

really didn’t like this as much as I thought I would. This feels weird to say but the guitar sounds terrible, especially the tone on sympathy for the devil which is such an iconic solo. Stray cat blues is pretty gross lyrically.

Fun to listen to and actuallly some really great moments instrumentally. His voice still kinda irritates me too much for me to fully enjoy the album but I think with a different singer would be a 4

Loved this one. Such a well done album that feels great and swings the whole time. Definitely will listen again

Hated this so much. This kind of music is not enjoyable to me in any way

Nope

I thought this was boring as hell. Paper planes is ok but the rest of this album didn’t do it for me. Honestly maybe deserves a 1 but after fat boy slim and the avalanches I guess my bar is low

Really nice. Love this band and this album. I like boxer and alligator more than this one. I like runaway. 4.5

It’s just so generic.. there’s more than enough great 70’s rock, we don’t need deep purple on this list.

Surprised to see this on here! Shes such a great vocalist and these are great tunes. Kind of hard to hear the band but sounds pretty good for a 50’s live record. Funny how they mention she’s reading lyrics in the beginning and then she forgets all the words 😂

This record is incredible, it encompasses so many genres and influences but somehow all works and never feels cluttered or forced. Total masterpiece from start to finish and so exciting to listen to.

I enjoyed this

Love this record! This was one of my faves in high school/college but haven’t listened in a while. Its grant and cohesive all the way through. All the grooves and sounds are so cool, love the guitar playing. All the songs are really great and the instrumentals are really cool too. Sharon Jones does a great cover of inspiration information

Like 1.4, it could’ve been worse but not by much

This is maybe a 3 but it felt like a chore to get through. Really unoriginal and uninspired derivative blues rock.

Really great all the way through. Such good songwriting

Kinda cool retro vibes and sounds. I didn’t really find this super unique or original but kind of a nice background vibes record. Probably a 3 in real life but 3.5-4 in this context. Kind of forgettable and probably won’t come back to it.

This album really sounds like the year it came out lol. I never really got into incubus but the songs are really cool, they’re catchy/poppy while still being kind of proggy and interesting. The heavy parts and dynamics are great, really cool guitar parts on a lot of the songs. Idk 4.5?

Finally got around to it lol. This was tough cause I love his songwriting but it’s just really hard for me to get past his voice sometimes. Birds is pretty. The rock moments are cool like when you dance. Idk 3.5-4

Pretty cool and unique sounding rock record. Today is great and I love the guitars on mayonnaise.

This is a pretty perfect album. Great voice and really good songs

Iconic and amazing. Everything about this is great

Iconic album, what is there to say. I would die 4 u is such a bop. Prince forever. I hope we get some more of him.

Difficult to rate. Not sure I’ll ever listen again but I appreciate how weird and dark it got. I like his singing and the production.

Not a chance I’m gonna remember listening to this. Brave boys I really hated though.

Objectively a pretty decent album, I’ve just never really liked this style/phase of music and I hope it doesn’t ever regain popularity. For me it lives in that world of stomp clap Mumford and lumineers and it just doesn’t work for me. But it is a decently made album. The drums in track one feel distractingly terrible to me but they didn’t bother me on the rest of the record

2.5 - would’ve been a 3.5 if it weren’t a double album. An hour of this was too much for me. Is this punk? There were a few songs I liked alright but it’s all just kind of silly and stupid sounding to me. It is better sounding m than some other similar stuff we’ve had.

There were a few good songs in here but it kind of dragged on a bit. It is a whole unique vibe which is cool, but I was definitely ready for it to be over

Didn’t make it through this whole thing. I don’t like the singing or songwriting and the music is nothing special either.

This is original and innovative and everything but i just didn’t really enjoy listening to it. I like Brian eno and I do like some of their later collaborations but this one just isn’t it for me. Although there are some kind of cool guitar moments and textures. It’s good for what it is but it’s not for me. 2.5?

One of the best records of all time.

This didn’t really do much for me, kind of weird how it shifted styles halfway through the record. All of a sudden there are chorusy guitars and reggae/police vibes. Doesn’t really make for a cohesive record, although that is when I feel like it started to get more interesting. 2.5

I like Dave Grohl and this album has a wild story but for some reason I could never really get into the foo fighters, it always feels kind of uninspired and boring and just not very cool.

Idk how to rate this. I guess I like the intention and context of this record but I could never listen to it again.

I like CCR, his voice is cool and their records sound sick. 4.5

Pretty sick of these ones

The feel is kinda all over the place, sometimes it’s cool sometimes I don’t like it. The feel on the second tune is huge. Overall pretty sick

Boring and generic

Sounds like a demo. Not sure why this is on the list, maybe it’s influential in some way but I didn’t find it very interesting. The guitar playing was ok but all the sounds were pretty bad and the mixing is terrible/nonexistent. Also didn’t like the vocals. 1.5

Pretty fun! Lots of gratuitous guitar playing. I like that it was 20 min, probably woulda knocked it down to a 3 if it were a full length but this was a fun short listen.

A point for weirdness, definitely was a ride but that kind of singing kind of annoys me.

Really enjoyed this! Definitely gonna be coming back to this one. Never let me down was one of my favs.

Liked this one a lot more than I thought I would. Was expecting some more generic rock and this is sort of that but more interesting than I expected. Probably won’t listen to it again but it was worth a listen

A perfect three. I feel totally neutral about this

What is the point of this

Really didn’t enjoy this. Theres always tomorrow might be the worst guitar solo of all time. There were tolerable moments but I hated most of it. 1.4

This is so lame

What a masterpiece! This album is pretty much perfect in every way, the songwriting is incredible and the arrangements are genius. God only knows is a perfect song.

Kinda fun, kinda psychedelic. Some cool noise. Nothing super mind blowing or memorable, maybe 2.5

This sounds like shit! a masterclass on how to make a terrible sounding record. The recording section on wiki is kind of a funny read. Is this “the room” of albums??

This really brought me back, loved this album in high school but was really nice listening with fresh ears. Total masterpiece and stands out among other indie folk records of that era. Somehow it feels really minimal while still being pretty orchestral. The last song feels very Philip glass inspired.

Pretty boring, not terrible, 2.4

Love some of the b sides on this, the acoustic vibe and direction of this album is cool, not my fav of led zep but still iconic.

Weird, intense and creepy. One point for really leaning into it but once is enough for me.

I hated this, his soapbox rambling is super annoying. Charlie hunters playing on here is sick but everything else I found really obnoxious

One of my all time favorite jazz records and all time fav musicians. His playing is so unique and beautiful. Scott lafaro is totally shredding the whole time. Jade visions is awesome. Some of the best trio playing ever

Didn’t really do it for me although you can definitely hear the influence on bands like nirvana Green Day and some other mpls bands like the hold steady. Idk 2.6

So sick, love the raw energy and sound of this album. The rhythm playing is cool, esp on heartbreaker, I really love the subtle variations and tone on the chunky rhythm part

Wasn’t expecting to love this one so much but it’s just banger after banger, she’s sick and the synths and guitars sound sick. Love the when you were mine cover.

I know this is a historically important album but it was a little brutal getting thru this.

Idk I always feel like I’m missing something with Elvis Costello. It’s like good on paper but doesn’t really stand out or leave an impression. Doesn’t feel really unique or interesting to me most of the time

Not my fav prince album but totally iconic and pretty groundbreaking when it came out I think. Little red corvette slaps

Some of this I didn’t find too interesting but giving it a five because son of a preacher man is an ultimate bop and windmills of your mind is a total masterpiece. The bass player really goes off in the last 10 seconds of preacher man.

I wanted to like this but it kind of fell flat for me. I like the weird moments and JWs take on the blues. The guitars sounds and the overall sound of the record is pretty cool. The tambourine groove on doorbell and denial were my fav parts. Megs voice is a bummer.

Kinda liked it but was hard to stay interested

Really cool record, weird and interesting textures. I really like his voice, super unique. Not sure I’ll come back to it but definitely was interested the whole time

I didn’t enjoy anything about this

This is really good but REM has never really done it for me. Don’t love the singing. So much better than most of the stuff we’ve been getting lol. 3.5

Pretty great funkadelic record. Maybe 4.5 but the ads ruined it a bit. Fav part we’re the songs with the chromatic riff/motif

I hate this type of music

Truly one of the worst records I’ve ever heard.

I listened to this a lot as a kid, really cool songs and love Steve winwood. Empty pages is prob my fav, really love that keys solo. The concept of John barley corn is pretty weird and funny.

I waited too long to rate this one I remember liking it kind of but nothing stood out as super memorable 3-4

This is like a 4.6 for me. I wish you would is my fav. Style and stay are also bops. I think this could be a perfect album if shake it off weren’t on it. I think that song is stupid and kind of out of place on an otherwise great album.

Not bad but nothing super interesting about it. Songwriting is pretty underwhelming. You can tell it’s all pro players but feels pretty uninspired and not an ounce of edge or darkness.

It’s weird and funny and interesting but it’s just so unpleasant musically. Octopus was the only song I knew.

Wow never really listened to slipknot but really rippin riffs, this was really fun to listen to after some of the others on this list.

What an absolute treat, her voice is so amazing and these songs are incredible

Really theater-y. Technically a lot better than some stuff on this list but too theater-y for me. It’s like queen but not as good

Cool sounding record but didn’t really find any of the songs too interesting or memorable

I can’t think of anything to say about this

Objectively probably a 5 but kinda not my thing

Wasn’t familiar with this record but love it. His vocals are so unique and interesting and such a great songwriter.

Such a great record! One of my favs. The drums sound killer, love the groove at the end of honky tonk heroes. This is peak waylon imo

The organ tones are a little too circus-y for me. The blues stuff is ok but there’s not much room in my heart for white guy blues beyond zep and stones

I like st Stephen and there were some ok moments but mostly this is just bad. Grateful Dead has some great songs but the jams on this aren’t even that good. If I want to hear jamming I’d rather listen to good musicians do it. Vocals are pretty bad

Her voice is legendary I can’t believe she sounded like this at 21

Wasn’t really expecting to like this, not a huge u2 fan, but the first 3-4 songs are certified bangers. Kinda fell off for me after that but considering the rest of the stuff on the list I think this gets a 4

Pretty boring and forgettable, not sure why it’s on the list but one point for technically being music I guess

So many legendary songs! Love the sloshy hi hats on long as I can see the light. Runnin thru the jungle came on as I was cruising through Times Square at night which was pretty vibey. I like the remake take of travelling band, super raw.

She is the goat, these are legendary songs and the arrangements are cool

Boring

Thought I was gonna like this but I really didn’t. North American scum was maybe the one I disliked the least

Idk how to rate this lol, it’s so bizarre and dramatic. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed the music but it was so refreshing to listen to something interesting from this list lol

I remember liking this a lot, but kinda fell flat for me this time, it’s basically a chic record. Singing isn’t outstanding and pretty dynamically flat. Top tier session players tho.

Kinda cool and vibey but kinda boring

I love ray Charles

I found it really hard to stay interested. I’ve never liked the sound of her records, it feels flat and lifeless to me. The guitar noises on blow were the only mildly interesting thing to me. Hot take but I think she’s one of the most overrated artists of all time. And I think the featured artists on this record are overrated too (drake and frank)

I hated this

Really well done but I just didn’t find it interesting in any way

It was ok but pretty forgettable. Not sure why it’s on the list. Solid 3.5

Maybe this is important somehow but I did not enjoy it

Solid 4, some of the beats were really cool and the arrangements were interesting enough to keep me listening

Are the stones mid?? This project has made me realize I don’t like the stones as much as I thought Under my thumb is cool but I prefer the live version from still life Really hated lady Jane I think they are actually a pretty bad band that managed to make a few great sounding records

So stupid

It was fine Bob doesn’t really do it for me

This is hotel lobby music, why is this on the list?

Solid 3. Decent southern rock but pretty forgettable and boring. Hard to handle is so much worse than the Otis version. Talks to angels is the best song prob

So good

Super fun listen, the beats and samples were really cool

Why

This sucks

I was obsessed with this album in 8th grade. I know we’re not supposed to like him anymore but he is such a great songwriter and I love a lot of his records. Rosalie come and go was on so many of my mix cds

This is like the most generic thing ever

Kinda like a Beyoncé record but way cooler and more interesting. Totally stacked credits on this!

Really really hate his falsetto. 1.3

This was cool I liked the noise and instrumental sections more than I liked the actual songs I think. Overall pretty cool vibe but lost interest a little by the end. 3.5-4

I really loved this, amazing how much of a vibe they can create with just guitar and vocals.

So funky so dope. They are such a sick band Too young to die has a real stevie vibe.

Total classic, sittin and thinkin is such a great song, I like the Charlie rich version better. Such an iconic record tho and the playing is top tier.

Absolutely excruciating. time has never moved slower

Maybe this doesn’t deserve a 1 but I really did not have fun trudging through this

I guess this was influential but it influenced a lot of bands that I also don’t like

Kinda thought I would like this but I didn’t

Thought I was gonna hate this but kinda good. I wouldn’t really listen to this in real life but the bar is so low right now and this was a well made album of actual songs.

Wouldn’t listen to this again but it was interesting enough. I don’t like the guitar tones or the overall sound but they kinda won me over with some of the noise stuff. Bad behavior was my favorite, I like the poppy harmonies

Really weird and cool. Not something I could listen to every day or maybe even again at all but enjoyed listening

Some classic prince. Love strange relationship, I could never take the place of ur man, and slow love

Didn’t like this vibe

Sounds like you’re 15 and stoned for the first time messing around in your friends basement.

At first it just seemed generic and forgettable but the repetition became torturous. Should not be on this list

Really Interesting and well made record but not something I’d listen to again probably

I know it’s the Beatles and it’s definitely a 5 for this project but it just doesn’t do it for me. There are a few great tracks with great arrangements but overall it just never really speaks to me, the silly goofy side of the Beatles has always been so cringe for me and there’s just no edge or grit to any of it

Forgettable

Pretty cool record, found myself losing interest periodically but kinda liked it. 3.5

Exile is the only one that should be on this list. Maybe some girls too.

Wtf am I listening to lol. Weirdly I liked this more than some of the “real music” on this list. 1.5

Cool songs I liked this one

One of the most overrated bands out there in my opinion. I really can’t stand his voice.

I really dug this and saved it to listen to again later. Arrangements were super interesting.

This was pretty dumb and nothing really memorable at all for me.

I actually thought this was kind of interesting, cool rrangementa and instrumentation. The guitar was cool with the strings. Like the pizz on wrap your troubles. She has an interesting voice but I don’t think I like it. Idk what to rate it.

I really hated this! Each song is uniquely terrible. The singing/songwriting is some of the worst I’ve ever heard. The guitar/harmonica extended jam on revelation is a truly miserable musical experience

I don’t care

So boring and so long. The only interesting parts were the weird spoken word parts and those did not make me like it more

This album is so great. Tears dry is such a banger. No skips on this album, she is one of the best singers of our generation if not the best. Total legend

Love this record. The long form songs are kind of unique and work so well with this vibe.

Objectively so great but just really not my kinda thing. Great harmonies great production great all around but not really moving for me

Love this album! Turn your lights down low is one of my favorite Bob Marley tunes.

Mid

Such a great record, immaculate vibes, great playing, great singing. If I die tonight is amazing.

I like all the souls records lately. Otis is such a legend and so many classics in here. 10/5

Ok pretty sick almost a 5

Not terrible, the tones and sounds were kind of cool it was so boring though and felt like such a chore to get through.

Super forgettable and kind of a drag to get through

Pretty good and all the rod Stewart hits but got a little boring by the end

Didn’t find this interesting or enjoyable

Im only recently getting to the point where i can enjoy neil young's songwriting. He is a great writer but it’s always been so hard for me to get past his voice and delivery. This album wasn’t enjoyable for me

Kind of fun sleazy rock vibe but not super memorable and lost interest halfway through

Sounds like shit

None of these are essential listening. Sort of dig the percussion sounds on lovin’ me more

Not cohesive at all each song was so wildly different. Great production value and some cool ideas but wouldn’t listen again

This album was probably released mono and should've stayed that way. The lead vocals being panned hard right was very distracting and honestly probably the only thing i will remember about this album. The yardbirds are important because of their legacy and mark on rock n roll but as a standalone group i don't find it very interesting or enjoyable

Super unique and inventive songwriting. Every song is such a wild journey. Such an interesting listen and breath of fresh air from the usual stuff on this list

I kinda liked it but got kinda tiresome at the end. Minnesoter was my favorite. Maybe 3.7

I had an ok time listening to this. Never really got the appeal of elvis costello - always felt a little like someone cosplaying rock n roll to me. But there were some kind of cool moments and vibes. Really didnt like his singing on battered old bird

Liked some of the songs like bonny and when love breaks down. Some of the lyrics/songwriting i wasnt feeling as much. Overall more interesting and enjoyable than most on this list

Wasnt expecting to like this as much as i did but i enjoyed it the whole way through. Grooves were cool and kinda rage-esque. Where u at groove was sick. The lyrics were outrageous and hilarious.

So over the top and fun to listen to. Pretty outrageous vocals and riffs. Sick bass playing too.

Struggled to make it through this one i did not enjoy myself

Ok but pretty forgettable. Singer reminds me of the clash. 2.5 maybe. I just listened to nick cave and i liked this better

Such an amazing voice and his records all have such a unique sound and killer vibe

Was gonna give this a 3 until whiskey bar. Some of the songs are kinda iconic like light my fire and break on through. The organ sound is very characteristic and recognizable but i think it sounds terrible and one of the things i hate most about this band. I dont like when they try to play blues.

I really dug this. Loved the raw energy and some of the heavier moments. Not quite a 5 but id definitely listen to at least the first half again

ZZ top is so uninspired. There is nothing remotely creative or original about this band and i dont understand why there is one, not to mention two albums on this list

So many great songs on here and such a good front to back record. Songwriting and arrangements and instrumentation is all so well done

Love John Prine and love this record. His songwriting is so witty and funny and poignant. He has so many great records but there are some true gems on this one

George Jones is a legend but I didn’t love this album. He’s got some bangers but none of them are on this one.

Man everything is kinda perfect about this album, but it still just feels a little stale to me. But the grooves, guitar playing, tones of all the instruments and production is all flawless. It has a little JJ cale energy at times. I feel bad giving it a 3 because i liked it so much more than ZZ top, but it still just didnt really move or excite me

80’s vibes. Interesting changes at times but felt kind of stock and theres a lot of other 80’s music id rather listen to if im in this kinda mood

Really well made album, cool textures and vibe. Really specific sound of 2010 indie. Really well done but not super exciting for me personally because of the narrow dynamic range.

Didnt like the songs didnt like the sibger. Didnt really like any of it but not the worst thing on this list

I didnt find anything interesting about this. Zoned out a lot and forgot i was listening. Not that theres anything bad about this, but this album seems so inconsequential and uninteresting i dont know why it would be featured on this list

Kinda nice listen but kinda meh. I like cheesy surf beach boys, and i love pet sounds. But this one i dont think needs to be featured

Noise is kinda cool but everything else about this is pretty underwhelming. The songs arent good and neither is the singing. The vibe is sort of cool

I dont even know what to say about this. Absolutely unhinged. Maybe it does deserve a spot on the list because of how insane it is

Found this immensely boring

Pretty hilarious at times but also not that good.

Omg shut up. Ive rarely been this annoyed by a singer. And wow didnt know it was possible to sound so bad on a harmonica.

Instruments all sound great but the songs are mid. I didn’t like any of the originals very much but the covers were ok. I kind of like the laid back vibe he goes for, JJ cale-esque but nowhere near as vibey. Side B really sucks and brings this down to a 2.5 for me

Not something i listen to regularly but iconic pop punk album and super popular when i was first starting to play in bands.

Really cant go wrong. Jobim is one of the greatest composers and sinatra singing his songs is just beautiful

Never heard this before but just immaculate vibes. Great singing and playing

Super interesting songs and arrangements. The energy is crazy and singer has a cool voice. Never checked them out before but definitely into it and would listen again. Pretty intense and frantic but i never lost interest

Love this album, this has been one of my favs since high school. So original and so vibey. Love her voice and the writing and arrangements are so cool. Such a good listen all the way through

This isnt really my kind of music, but as far as this type of music goes this was one of the more palatable ones. Didnt annoy me as quickly as most of these do

Liked this a lot more than i thought i would. Some of the grooves are pretty sick. Love the production and drum sounds. Definitely more interesting/experimental than i expected.

Love nile and bernard, grooves are sick and the love the strings/orchestration on i want your love. Tbh vocals are kinda mid and some of the songs feel a little unfinished but sick vibes

I dig the energy and attitude but this record kinda fell flat for me. I will probably forget about this one

Not much of a bob fan but there are some good songs on here - corina, dont think twice, north country girl. The harmonica playing gets pretty annoying and i dont like his rambling.

Feel bad giving this a 2 bc its original and kinda interesting, but it just didnt really do it for me and got a little irritating by the end

I never really got into zappa. Not necessarily something i would listen to again but i enjoyed listening to it, was way more interesting than most on this list. 3 for me but 4 for the project

I thought i was going to like this a little more than i did. Eagles are so aggressively bland its kind of hard to listen to at times. Not even a shred of real emotion or edge. Take it easy is an alright tune but otherwise very unmemorable. 2? 3?

Such a great album. One of the best hip hop albums and such an iconic new york album. Some unforgettable beats

Loved this one, wasnt expecting to like it so much. Such a vibe and percussion and production sounds great. Also i love the george benson cover of world is a ghetto

Wasnt expecting to really like this one but loved it. Some parts are amazing and some parts are meh but overall a really cool record and such a vibe

All marvin is great but i wasnt as excited about this as some of his others. I got more excited as it became funkier, the contour told the story in a cool way. 5 compared to most of this list but not my fav marvin

Really enjoyed this one, was not expecting to but i was into it the whole way. Had some cool textures and vibes. Reminded me of 90’s skate videos. 4.5

Musically maybe a 2 but these might be the worst vocals ive ever heard

Pretty lame

Bad songwriting, bad singing, bad playing, boring songs

Kind of a vibe, some cool riffs. Some songs reminded me of 90s bond movies. Arrangements and delivery were cool, not sure it was memorable enough to come back to but a fun listen

Great concept album, great storytelling, great songs. Love the hidden track. Maybe my fav hip hop album

Really enjoyed this! Bingo was my fav. Got a little old by the end but cool vibes throughout

Such a vibe. Really cool drums and sounds throughout. Love the western guitar on sour times Roads is cool, i like her singing, its fragile in a cool way.bass is cool on pedestal. Really dig the vibes and sounds, it does get a little repetitive though and maybe lacking a little depth or something. Not quite a 5

Undeniable genius and such an epic piece of music. Totally brilliant but i am not eager to listen to it again.

It is kind of a vibe, and i can appreciate the influence its had on other artists. There are some cool elements here and there, but i would never choose to listen to this again. 2.5

Hell yeah sick vibes makes me wanna drink at duffs.

I found this to be very annoying and a lot of the songs were circus-y which i find very hard to listen to. I also hated the vocals.

Truly awful. Every song was worse than the last. I think these may be my least favorite vocals ive ever heard

Theyre sick. I dont really know this record but super cool to hear their earlier stuff. Way more raw sounding in the best way. They have such a distinctive sound.

Idk how to even rate this. The great songs on here are legendary and i think theres enough to have a single album thats a 10/10 But its so long and some of the bad ones are so hard to listen to. It is like a whole opera and all that so i get it but its a lot. Giving it a 4 bc some of these songs are so nostalgic and important to me, and its also just so influential. But not keen to listen to all 4 sides again any time soon

Was expecting to be bored by this one but pleasantly surprised. Kind of a vibe, enjoyed listening, would maybe listen again. 3.5?

Idk there was some fun percussion and stuff but there are so many better brazilian 60s records and cooler tropicalia records. Its better than a lot of stuff on this list but i wouldnt even say i like it in the context of its own genre.

Such a classic. I love all of the 60’s bossa/jazz crossover records. Some of the most beautiful harmony ever written. Astrud has such a cool and unique voice. These records are all pure gold, this ones probably the most iconic.

Its fine, i just found it kind of boring. The songwriting doesnt do it for me and the performance/recording wasnt very exciting. Time between is the only song i knew and probably my favorite one. The reverse guitar on thoughts and words was maybe the only mildly interesting part of the whole record.

Such a killer country record. Shes a total legend. Band is incredible, drums are super groovy and guitars sound great.
