Wire
3/5
The Avalanches
3/5
Not bad. I could see myself occasionally listening to some of this again if I remember
ZZ Top
3/5
Method Man
3/5
Generally not a fan of old school hip hop but I thought some songs were fine here.
Fairport Convention
3/5
Decent folky music. It was fine. Nothing really to write home about. I could and did listen to it as background music.
Venom
3/5
It was... okay I guess. Okay metal with meh lyrics. Probably wouldn't listen again. Giving it a 2 felt cruel because I can see how this probably impacted other music I like. I wouldn't seek it out again. A soft 3
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
Some songs were okay. Generally not a fan. Just kind of noise to me.
The Smiths
3/5
Just an average album
OutKast
4/5
Some solid bangers in here.
Metallica
4/5
Pretty strong 4. I like the concept. I do kind of prefer some of the originals though, but still cool.
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
3/5
A pretty solid 3
Van Morrison
3/5
Just an average album to me.
Travis
4/5
I thought this wasn't bad. I liked a good amount of songs. I would probably listen to a number of them again.
Ray Price
3/5
The Incredible String Band
2/5
"Hogwash" - Boomer
"Dogwater" - Zoomer
Bob Dylan
3/5
Just okay. A lot of songs sounded similar.
R.E.M.
3/5
This was fine. A few good songs, okay for background music while doing stuff. Maybe like a 3.5 or so
Spiritualized
2/5
I was in fact not floating for this experience, but maybe that means I was not the intended audience.
Abdullah Ibrahim
3/5
Decent jazz
PJ Harvey
4/5
I liked the vibes of some of the songs. I would probably listen again
Gorillaz
4/5
Some good songs on here. Not gonna give this one a 3. Gets a little funky at times though, but still good
The Smiths
4/5
Supergrass
4/5
I liked a lot of the songs but don't really know how I feel about them altogether as an album.
John Martyn
3/5
Decent album for chill background music.
Beatles
3/5
I dunno. I like some Beatles songs, these all sounded the same to me
Al Green
4/5
Pretty easy to listen to. I could see myself relaxing and having this on
The Stone Roses
3/5
I liked the start, but not the end as much.
The Flaming Lips
4/5
I think I'm maybe being generous here today... I liked some of the songs and would probably put it on again at some point. A soft 4
T. Rex
3/5
Weather Report
2/5
Not really for me.
3/5
Reminded me of Bowie a little at the start in a weird way. The ending songs had a lot going on. Overall it was fine.
Rage Against The Machine
5/5
ALRIGHT. BK made some good points. Many bangers in here.
B.B. King
3/5
It was fine. Just some blues.
The Black Keys
4/5
I thought it was solid.
The Hives
2/5
All sounded the same and it wasn’t great.
The Prodigy
3/5
It was alright. Average to me
Frank Ocean
4/5
I had already heard a few songs before, but not the whole album. Pretty chill and easy to listen to. I think 5 is probably a bit too generous so 4 it is. Something I could come back to and cherry pick the songs I liked the most.
Eminem
4/5
This album has some obvious classics, but it also had some stinkers for me. It felt illegal to listen to Ken Kaniff at work and Kim was... wow. Some of the songs sound better when you don't listen to the lyrics, which I think kind of defeats the purpose. Overall pretty decent though.
Dr. Octagon
3/5
Not even bad old school hip hop. I could listen to it.
Call 1800pp51doodoo
Shivkumar Sharma
3/5
Decent instrumental music
Fairport Convention
3/5
It was fine I guess. A soft 3 for me.
Talking Heads
3/5
I liked a few songs, but overall just another average-meh album for me.
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
I would say average.
Faust
2/5
Not really my thing.
New Order
3/5
Dizzee Rascal
2/5
One of the funnier albums we've gotten. Less funny as it went on. UK Rap cannot be taken seriously. Roadman lingo very entertaining though.
Dusty Springfield
3/5
Miles Davis
3/5
Jazzy
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
3/5
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
yeah, not my favorite. Kinda interesting stories and vocals but not really my thing.
Roxy Music
2/5
It was kind of meh. Didn't feel like a lot of substance here
Hugh Masekela
3/5
Pink Floyd
3/5
Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands. Their earlier years though are definitely a bit more psychedelic, especially this album which I think was written mostly by Syd. Here they sound just like another young English band with some weirder more off-the-wall ideas. This album is definitely unique in that aspect, but novelty doesn't equal quality. I think this was overall an okay album, and a required stepping stone for the band to grow from
David Bowie
3/5
I like Bowie. Cool voice. This album wasn't amazing for me though. 3.5 I think is fair for me.
Robert Wyatt
1/5
Started at a 2 for me and went downhill. Produced by Nick Mason and the psychedelic influence is definitely seen. Not a fan of this one as a whole.
Jerry Lee Lewis
3/5
I normally judge just based on the music, but I'll make an exception here. Would get a 4, but Jerry seemed like a real piece of work...
Various Artists
3/5
Most Christmas music is basically the same songs by different people. Regardless, I still like them sometimes.
The Temptations
3/5
I think this isn't bad. I would say maybe like mid-3 range but not really a 4.
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
Struggled with what to rate this. Was going to go with 4, but listened to it again and can't really find anything wrong with it. Solid album. 4.5 and I'll round up.
M.I.A.
2/5
Definitely an interesting listen. Not really for me for the most part. Though, paper planes will forever slap. Spotify listening numbers confirmed.
Tangerine Dream
2/5
kind of lackluster. Not memorable
Led Zeppelin
5/5
Iconic
Def Leppard
4/5
Decent for what it was. Just background tunes to blast while you do other stuff. Soft 4 from me
Lorde
3/5
I thought it was all around okay
Frank Sinatra
3/5
Never listened to a whole Sinatra album before so I’m glad I did one now. Just easy listening stuff. Not bad but not amazing for me.
Talking Heads
3/5
Average. Nothing special, just an alright album
CHIC
3/5
3 for me. It was a fun listen but I don't know if I see myself remembering to listen to it again in the future.
LCD Soundsystem
3/5
Not a 2 or a 4 for me. Strong 3. Was alright. I could listen to it.
The xx
3/5
Not quite a 4 for me. I think it’s sitting happy at 3
Pavement
4/5
Easy to listen to indie rock
The Stooges
3/5
Overall okay, nothing super memorable. Good in the background
Elvis Presley
3/5
Elvis is Elvis. Pretty recognizable voice and style. Okay album.
Bob Dylan
2/5
A bit repetitive for me. Also sounded like he was just rambling on and on. Listening to it was okay, some of the lyrics seemed... dated we'll say.
Kacey Musgraves
3/5
I think a solid 3.5. I liked it more than I imagined I was going to from the first few songs. Ended strong for me, but not sure I can give it a 4. Not bad though.
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Average. Nothing special. Kind of gave some spring vibes? Gotta love the dramatic..... pause on the last song.
Beatles
4/5
Solid album with a few all-time classics.
Eagles
4/5
Pretty decent album
Deerhunter
3/5
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
I've listened to a lot of this before, but never the whole thing. Especially not in one sitting. A few pretty good songs on here.
Randy Newman
3/5
An alright listen. Nothing super amazing or horrible about this for me. Just felt like another okay album.
Leonard Cohen
2/5
Not a fan. Lyrics were kinda strange and the vocals were not my favorite.
Def Leppard
3/5
Fine to work to in the background. Nothing crazy memorable for me. A 3.5
John Prine
2/5
2 not great. A few okay sounding songs here and there. Lyrics were funny-strange at times
Ute Lemper
2/5
Felt like there was a musical going on in the background while the rest of my brain was trying to tune it out. Nick Cave does "it" again.
Bob Dylan
3/5
this one felt less rambly. Still not really my thing. Each song felt much longer than it needed to be with a lot of harmonica
The Monks
3/5
Okay background songs I guess
The War On Drugs
4/5
I listened to the start a couple times. Not bad. I did like this album, but it also didn't feel very memorable to me. 3.5 for me but since I can't do that, squishy 4.
Dolly Parton
2/5
Second time I listened to this now. Don’t really think it got much better for me. Not really my thing.
The Clash
3/5
I thought this was okay. It felt like they kind of all blended together.
Paul Simon
2/5
A soft 2 from me. Didn't enjoy the overall themes of this album as a whole. Just not my thing I think. The first half was a lot better than the second for me. Won't be listening to again
Coldplay
4/5
Heard a lot of these songs before, never listened to the whole alum. Some goodies
Rush
5/5
I would say like a 4.5 for me, but I'll round up for the nostalgia factor. YES I was born after the invention of sliced bread. YES this is nerd dad rock. YES I want to go fast during Overture/Temples
Tom Waits
2/5
Wasn't a fan of this
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Not really notable, another average album
PJ Harvey
3/5
annoying to okay at best. Not quite a 2, but close.
The Clash
2/5
It wasn’t amazing. Wasn’t memorable. All kind of blended together. 2.5
Blur
4/5
woohoo
The Pogues
3/5
Kind of funny to listen to. Don't know if I would do the whole album again but a song here or there is maybe okay.
Fever Ray
3/5
Kinda weird but I kind of liked it at the same time. It was alright. Listened to it 1.5 times before I realized I had restarted.
Femi Kuti
3/5
I normally am not a fan of world music. Initially I kind of wrote this album off. Listening to it again I kind of liked parts of it. Not quite a 4 but 3.5 I think is fair
Tracy Chapman
3/5
Fast car banger. Others were decent.
Black Sabbath
3/5
Eh, this was okay. Not a 2 for me. Sitting pretty at 3
Pixies
3/5
Some songs were better than others. It wasn't bad.
Sly & The Family Stone

Dwight Yoakam
2/5
It was okay as far as country goes, not really my thing but not horrible either.
Cream
4/5
The Band
3/5
Not for me. A little boring and slow. Soft 3 to 2 territory
The Who
3/5
Pretty much all sounded the same. Not a bad sound, just kind of bland
Wu-Tang Clan
3/5
It was alright. Not really my thing but I can see some of the influence it had
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
Just another album
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
2/5
No thanks, not for me.
Carole King
3/5
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
A good album, but this is a little too funky for me to say 5. Under the bridge top tier song tho
Beatles
4/5
A pretty solid album. Normally the Beatles aren't really my thing, but I did like this.
Roxy Music
3/5
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
Weak 4. I think it's pretty listen-to-able. Tell Her Tonight just sounds like "Gonna have Nutella tonight" though
The Band
3/5
Liked it more than the last the band album

3/5
Decent. Got old after a bit, soft 3
Robbie Williams
3/5
it was okay. weak 3 I think

4/5

Sorry emo Bono, keep your weird fish to yourself
Arcade Fire
4/5
Easy to listen to indie
Solomon Burke
2/5
inoffensive, unmemorable background music
The Notorious B.I.G.
4/5
Couldn't be less. Not usually the biggest fan of older hip-hop/rap, but pretty good. A little repetitive
Peter Frampton
3/5
Not bad. Doubt I would put on again but was a decent listen. Strong three, weak 4.
Minutemen
2/5
Not amazing. Maybe one or two okay songs
Drive-By Truckers
1/5
Was not a fan of this at all. Would be probably the worst 2 I would give, but there's a number lower than that too. Just too yeehaw and too long
Ryan Adams
2/5
Harmoni-can you not
The Zombies
3/5
A couple of redeeming songs push it to a 3
The Mars Volta
4/5
It was good but was a little bit like noise sometimes
Elton John
4/5
A bit of a fan. Weak 4 maybe?
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
This feels like something my uncle would put on after asking if I wanna hear some real music. Then I would watch the family turn up while drinking their bud light
Lou Reed
2/5
I like some Lou Reed songs, guess they weren’t here tho
Happy Mondays
2/5
Bon Jovi
4/5
Pretty solid 4
Faith No More
3/5
Not the worst thing I've listened to. It was decent.

I was a fan of this. Pretty easy and solid listen

5/5
Not usually a Beatles fan but I did really like this
George Jones

3/5
Was close to clicking 4. Definitely unique. But I dunno how often I would throw it on
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
Eh it was fine. Not really my thing.
Common
3/5
It kind of dragged on for me. It was alright I guess. Probably wouldn't listen to much of it again.

3/5
a couple of okay songs with the one obvious banger. A bit strange in spots.
Rod Stewart
2/5
OKAY at best. A little annoying in spots. Not quite a 3

3/5
Average

2/5
I dunno. Was okay to listen to. Not memorable really. Maybe 2.5?
The Kinks
2/5
I liked the start, got a little weird at the end.

3/5
just okay
The Lemonheads
3/5
A couple good songs, mostly average
Fiona Apple
1/5
Wow so creative!

Thelonious Monk
2/5
I dunno. It was fine jazz, not really my thing.
The Police
2/5
One or two okay songs
Radiohead
2/5
A little out there for me to just have on and listen to. 2.5
Everything But The Girl
2/5
Not for me
Christina Aguilera
2/5
A couple of okay songs. Beautiful = v good. But I feel like this is a situation where the sum is not better than the parts and I would rather listen to a song here or there rather than the whole hour twenty album.
KISS
2/5
Kind of mindless. Okay at best, but have also heard worse. 2.5.
James Brown
3/5
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
Eh it was okay I guess. Bruce isn't my thing.
2/5
This album would have been a lot better if the songs weren't bad.
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Green Day
5/5
Probably a 4 but I like it so a 5. I listen to a lot of the songs in this album all the time. This was the first CD I ever got to pick out myself so maybe I'm a little biased and nostalgic but I don't care. GOOD ALBUM
Prince
3/5
It wasn’t bad. Probably wouldn’t listen to again but not bad
Shack
4/5
Pretty good actually. Didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did. A little clunky at times and maybe not amazing cohesion between songs but overall I liked it
Justice
4/5
Pretty strong album overall.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
2/5
It was eh
Air
3/5
Kinda strange but okay
Sonic Youth
2/5
Felt very low effort and like the people playing the music didn’t even want to
Q-Tip
3/5
It wasn't bad. Alright hip-hop
Janelle Monáe
4/5
I dunno. It felt weird but also not bad at times? Definitely different. Maybe 4 is generous. 3.5 rounded up
Miles Davis
3/5
The 13th Floor Elevators
2/5
uhhhhh I'm good on this one thanks
Miles Davis
4/5
This one was def better than the last one but still just okay to me. I mean good jazz I guess. 3.5 rounded
The Go-Betweens
2/5
Boring. Felt like they found a good lyric and decided a good song would be to repeat it for 4 minutes.
Pink Floyd
5/5
A couple overplayed songs but come on. That’s not their fault. Always liked this album.
CHIC
2/5
Not really for me, pretty repetitive
Scritti Politti
2/5
1.5 really not amazing. Maybe a COUPLE okay PARTS but overall yucky
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
3/5
Ehhhhh I’ve heard worse old school stuff. I’ve also heard better. I wouldn’t really throw this on, but I’ll put a little respect on the name with a 3
Paul McCartney and Wings
5/5
Listened to it a few times. Guess I really liked it. Didn't expect to as much as I did.
Wilco
3/5
It was a little weird but got better as it went on. I listened to it a few times and it got better each time but I still can't get behind the first few songs. I would say like 2.5 rounded to 3
TLC
3/5
Ehhhh it was okay. Had the couple good songs. Nothing crazy good or bad. I guess I could listen to it. Average.
Donald Fagen
5/5
Was very surprised at how much I liked this. Kind of slaps and I'll be a little generous from 4.5
Green Day
5/5
Easy 5 lots of bangers on here.
4/5
It was pretty good. A little strange in spots but an overall solid album
The Flying Burrito Brothers
2/5
ehhhh maybe like 2.5. Just kinda boring not a lot going on to be memorable
The Slits
1/5
Listening to this whole album was an exercise in patience I won’t repeat
Lenny Kravitz
4/5
I think this one was solid. And I'm not just saying that because I would scream MR CAB DRIVER over and over again with my toy guitar as a kid.
R.E.M.
3/5
This was okay… fine to have on. No complaints
The Doors
4/5
I think a generous 4. Wasn't bad overall and had a few good songs.
Johnny Cash
3/5
Cool idea for an album, but lost me throughout the playtime.
Boston
5/5
This is a STRONG album. Always liked it, lots of bops
Sister Sledge
4/5
Honestly kinda boppin
Supertramp
3/5
Couple okay songs. Some of the riffs were a little much for me
Fatboy Slim
3/5
A few okay parts but after a little bit it was just the same thing over and over.
Metallica
4/5
I think I'm more of a fan of individual songs than Metallica albums. After a while it kind of mushes together. Still, One is a top-tier song. Easy 4
First half absolute bangers. Second half slows down some but not bad. Easy 4, 5 would be pushing a little too much I think? 9/10 if that counts
Muddy Waters
2/5
Good start but slowed way down and just kind of felt like the same thing
Crosby, Stills & Nash
3/5
Nothing crazy
Goldie
3/5
I guess it was okay for background music. Wow, it was long. Maybe 2.5
Cocteau Twins
3/5
Close to being a 2. Annoying but also kinda of okay as just music being on
De La Soul
3/5
EHHHH some parts were a little more than weird to listen to at work. It wasn't bad. Even with the longer runtime, it didn't feel long and the skits weren't awful.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
5/5
I think this is an easy 4 but I'll show that I too can like things and push it to a 5. The obvious bangers on this one can carry hard and the other songs aren't bad either.
The Cure
4/5
I think this was like a 3.5 for me. Pretty decent. Some of the songs just keep going though but it overall wasn't bad
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
ehhh I thnk it was alright. A good song here and there. 3.5 to generous 4
Nirvana
4/5
No doubt some L parts of this album, but the parts that hit, hit hard.
3/5
Good first song, kinda dropped off after
Muddy Waters
3/5
Nothing crazy here, pretty inoffensive
David Holmes
1/5
Ctrl c + ctrl v
D'Angelo
2/5
EHHHHHHHHH it wasn't horrible but was repetitive and didn't really have any memorable songs besides track 5 which was amazing.
5/5
MANY BANGERS
Buffalo Springfield
3/5
Average
Incredible Bongo Band
5/5
Did NOT expect to like this one going into it. Ended up really enjoying it. Good instrumentals, and the covers I think were solid.
Iggy Pop
3/5
2.5 rounded up. It was OKAY
Gary Numan
2/5
Honestly kinda stinky
The Flaming Lips
5/5
Went back to this one a few times. Really liked it, just a sucker for Indie stuff sometimes. I'll be nice and give it a 5. Just super easy to listen to and better than some of the 4's I've given.
Blood, Sweat & Tears
2/5
Not amazing. A bit annoying and just noisy at some points
5/5
Tons of bangers. Easy listen to over and over
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
A bunch of bangers. Really solid songs with a unique grungy sound.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
It was alright I guess. A little harmonica goes a long way. The first song always slaps though
The Jam
3/5
Living Colour
3/5
Start with a banger, the rest are okay
1/5
Not great not great. Just kind of noise
Queen
4/5
I think it was a pretty solid album but not really my thing. Maybe like 3.5?
Black Sabbath
5/5
The heavy feel of the songs is something I always enjoy. Great listen
Primal Scream
3/5
Not bad. Pretty average. Maybe 3.5
2/5
Country folksy music. Not the worst thing ever. Not great
JAY Z
