I enjoyed the energy of this album very much, even though it was not really the type of music I lean towards.
Underwhelming.
I don’t hate myself enough today to listen to morrissey whine about all the the things in his life that he hates.
Just Generic new wave.
I don’t lean towards rap or hip hop generally, but I enjoyed this album more than I thought I would.
This is one of my top ten nu metal albums, I was so excited to relisten to this album after not listening to it in almost a decade. It also led me to listen to Toxicity immediately afterwards. I think that this has rekindled my love of SOAD.
Couldn’t get past the first 3 songs.
I cannot stand Led Zeppelin. They’re prolific plagiarists. No thanks.
It wasn’t awful but it folded intell was not my thing.
This album is a cut rate version of every band they try to emulate. I got to song 8, checked the track list, saw there were 12 more songs and bailed because omg no thank you.
Loved this album when I was a teenager, hadn’t listened to it in a lot of years and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT 😊 Ended up listening to another couple of their albums when I finished this one.
Meh.
Enjoyed this jangle pop album more than I thought I would.even added two songs from it to some of my playlists.
I learned two things:
1. Space rock is a thing
2. Space rock is not MY thing
I basically forgot this album existed 10 mins after it ended.
I enjoyed the nostalgia of this album and the hits are banging, but the non hits were not all that interesting to me. Luckily the hits took up half the album.
Time to Pretend and Kids were two songs I was very familiar with, electronic pop
Is not really my thing but I felt like overall the album would be great for a fan of the genre.
My 1001albums listening buddy liked this album enough to add it to her listening library and now I’m not sure we should be listening buddies any more. 😂 I did not like this album. Not even a little bit.
Let me take a minute to tell you my friend…this was a super interesting album that I’ll probably never listen to again. 😂
This album had a lot of stuff I like but I just wasn’t that into it. I guess it’s safe to say that Stills is not my favorite voice from CSNY
Meh.
I enjoyed this album way more than I thought. I read the wiki about it to get some context because although I know a fair amount about Tupac the person, I’ve never listened to his music. Anyway, this was a very personal account of his life leading up to a possible jail sentence. There are tracks I definitely will listen to again.
Meh. Not a fan.
Meh.
Was not a fan before, and still wasn’t a fan after, guessing I will never be. 😂
This was an amazing introduction to Brian Johnson after the tragic loss of Bon Scott. I used to listen to this album a lot and this was a great reminder of why.
This is not music. It is noise. It made me question my sanity. I only made it to the 4th track and bailed because holy fuck this is AWFUL. If I could give it negative stars it would be a -5
Janis Joplin was an amazing talent. Loved this album.
Not my favorite Tom Waits album but contains one of my favorite TW songs, Frank’s Wild Years
I actually enjoyed this album way more than I thought I would and it led me down a listening rabbit hole of other Isaac Hayes albums.
It has hits and people like it. I am just not one of those people 😂
Not my favorite steely Dan album.
Loved!
Glitzy, Glammy fun from a band that inspired so many bands that I love.
This album was unavailable to me on any of the streaming platforms I use so I listened to another album by this band. It was not my thing at all. The singer sounded like he wished he was Johnny rotten and I swear to god he sounded like he was chewing his own face at times. No thank you.
When I got this album I said to my listening buddy, “I can sing you this entire album start to finish, without accompaniment” I loved it then and I love it now.
It puts the lime in the coconut, I guess.
It was fine. Not good, not bad, just fine.
Some of the albums on this list make me wonder if the author of the list has functioning ear holes. Track #9 was the worst screamo bullshit I’ve ever heard. Why don’t you like me? Why? Screamed over and over again at the listener for 5:32 I think the listener should be asking Dinosaur Jr that exact question. Fuck this album, it was mediocre at best, until track #9 set the whole dumpster on fire. I wish I could give less than 1 star.
I do not like Oasis. They are a waste of precious resources. I did not listen to this album (that I’ve heard before anyway) and instead listened to the same album my listening pal got today (Bollywood movie soundtrack) Shalimar! I’d give the sound track a solid 3 stars. Indian music is not super familiar to me but I liked that you could hear a definite 70s vibe in the music. That disco-funk thing was universal apparently.
As for this Oasis album, the Gallaghers can eat a dick. I’d give it zero stars if that were an option.
A much listened to album from my teen years. Loved it then. Loved it today.
The album was ok. Best song for me was Lazy Sunday which kinda reminded me of Pink Floyd’s Syd Barrett doing Beatles music experimentally. Other than that nothing really stood out to me as memorable.
I can’t even with morrissey. He’s such a bag of hot fresh turds. That said I’ve heard enough of the Smiths to know that this album is not for me.
The hits were awesome, the rest of the songs were not that memorable to me
Generic Seattle sound grunge indie rock stuff. It was completely non offensive.
It’s van Morrison’s best effort. I can’t imagine there is a human who would give this less than 5 stars.
This is pre-Disney Randy Newman, I know, but the most memorable song for me was Lonely at the Top, which had a very “didn’t make the cut for the Toy Story soundtrack” vibe. I dare you to listen to that song and tell me you don't visualize Buzz Lightyear head hung low, thinking about Woody being upset with him because of some imagined power struggle.
I’ve listened tot his album probably a thousand times in my lifetime and I never don’t love it.
How can I say this politely? Umm, no thanks.
I haven’t listened to this album in a hundred years and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I would give it 5 stars ALLBE for Human Nature.
Things I hate:
1. Being force fed the music of legends that is NOT AT ALL LEGENDARY
2. Country and western that is not from the 70s
3. Covers of songs I don't care about by artists I don't care about.
✅✅✅
I really like Joni Mitchell, I really like her voice and her song writing so it’s no surprise that I liked this album.
To say that early Todd Rundgren is NOT my thing would be a gross understatement.
Nope.
Pleasant background noise
It’s Abba. It’s catchy and toe tappy and what’s not to love?
It was fine. 🤷🏼
This album was a breath of fresh air after a string of albums I did not like. I am a sucker for Irish punk rock and sea shanty vibes so this album made me very happy to listen to it (3 times in 2 days.)
Got super bored 3 songs in and turned it off. Then tried listening to my listening buddy’s album of the day by the War on Drugs and also bailed by song 3. Yesterday was not my day. 😩😂
There were so many distinct Influences of other music coming through it was almost too much. It was fine, just fine.
Unremarkable.
I enjoyed the shit outta this.
It was very Peter Gabriel and I found it pleasing
It’s Michael jackson. It’s slightly less awesome than thriller.
This anti-Semite piece of garbage has no place in my life. I wouldn’t have listened to this if you paid me. Absolute trash.
I don’t listen to EDM like ever 🤷🏼
I always like Nick Cave.
This album is full of hits. And it proves to me again that Nash is my favorite songwriter of the bunch, with Marakesh Express and Teach Your Children being the standouts for me.
I always love cat stevens
Meh. It was fine. 🤷🏼
Wasn’t a fan back in the day, still not a fan now:
Mixed feelings. 23 yr old me loved the raw angst of this album, 53 yr old me doesn’t connect to it in the same way. It was a quick trip down memory lane for me but not one I’ll revisit any time soon.
It’s classic Dylan.
I have been a Doors fan forever, but with the exception of Peace Frog this was never one of my favorite albums. It doesn’t have that Jim Morrison thing that I’ve come to love, the passion? The heat? I don’t know what it is, but I don’t get it from this album.
I love the Cramps and was excited to get an album that I actually wanted to listen to, although I’ve heard this album a million times, it never gets okd
It’s not Discovery (which was my first and favorite ELO album) but it is really good and if you dig 70s synth pop prog this is the band for you!
This is the only studio Grateful Dead album I listen to with any regularity, they are not a band whose music translates well in the studio. But I can’t resist a few of the songs on here in all their studio glory 😂
Right out of the gate I thought, is someone covering an obscure Cure song, BUT uptempo? All in all I enjoyed the album.
I love every minute of this album, ever since I first heard it 35 years ago or however long ago it was. I cannot say one bad thing about early Prince, his later stuff? I have some feelings about but Purple Rain is perfection from beginning to end.
Eric Clapton’s political leanings color everything he does for me, I did not listen and couldn’t give an unbiased review even if I did.
Two words. Fuck yeah!
This album was great for what it was.
I love 70s Bowie. It gives me life ❤️
Nope.
Loved it in the 90s. Still kinda crushing on it. I feel like this album is everything I wanted RHCP to be.
Yuck. No thank you.
4 words…Funeral For A Friend
I have loved this album all of my life. It’s the one Beatles album that I never skip a track.
It’s like the Miami Sound Machine (minus Gloria Estefan) had a baby with Eminem…and that was on the better tracks. I was not a fan. I love world music and I love foreign language music. This was uninspiring to me.
Not a fan
Sad and moody.
Really enjoyed listening. I’ve heard her name a thousand times but never actually listened to her. She is clearly influence for many, more modern female singer -songwriters that I love, specifically Tracey Chapman must have drawn inspo from Joan. This album, and lonely
Others by Joan Armatrading are going into rotation on my playlists!
Metallica was my first true love as a 14 yr old girl in 1984. I have never stopped loving them, although there were phases when I just COULD NOR with them, St Anger, I’m looking a lot you. If this is your first intro to Metallica it is a pretty epic one. The orchestra along side the screaming guitars is a little slice of heaven.
I’d give this album 5 stars for the song Suzanne alone. I enjoyed this very much. It’s musically soft and simple and it’s lyrically a master class in song writing.
It’s Stevie Wonder, which is almost always a good thing (for me) this album is a little boring to me. There weren’t really any standouts for me. I wouldn’t turn it off if someone put it on but I also wouldn’t seek it out. It’s just ok.
Very early goth. I'm an 80s everything human so I enjoyed it.
I am huge fan of early, raw 70s punk, Poly Styrene was a queen.
Loved a lot of the songs and it very much reminded me of New Riders of the Purple Sage. Which is a really good thing for me because they’re a favorite, but this album was a huge departure from the Byrds most people know and love. I’ll listen to this album again and again.
I enjoyed this album, I like hip hop/rap from the 80s and 90s so this fit the bill.
Nope. 3 hours? Hard no. I couldn’t even manage through 3 songs. Trash.
Kurt Cobain on said that this band was a big inspiration for Nirvana. And it’s very evident that this was a band Nirvana modeled themselves after, especially when put up against Nirvana’s debut record, Bleach. I really liked this album, much better than anything nirvana put out actually, but when isn’t the original better than the remake?
Loved this album then, still love it now.
The album was good, lyrically it was strong. His thoughts of impending mortality were imprinted on every song. I always like Leonard Cohen.
I tried to listen to this album but couldn’t find it on Spotify or Apple Music and my work stereo system doesn’t connect to YouTube…So instead I'm listening to a different album By the same artist, because it's Funkadelic and I just last year discovered that I like funk. Especially of the George Clinton variety. So I listened to Funkadelic’s Finest and it did not disappoint, I assume this album would have been great too, because George Clinton and Bootsy Collins make a great funking team.
Took me right back to high school and made me think of my first high school friend who was also a huge U2 nerd. I don’t really have anything to say about this album that wouldn’t be tainted with so much nostalgia. Listen to it. Love it or don’t. I love it.
Shorter and poppier songs. Enjoyed it
Like this album better than I thought I would.
A little torchsinger-esque. I didn’t hate it and I didn’t love it. Her voice is really nice but all around not that interesting to me.
Pulp was not a favorite. Dude sings an awful lot about sex and he looks like that mostly would have occurred alone in his basement if he hadn't become a "rock star".
There wasn’t anything remarkable about this album, but also nothing regrettable. It was just very forgettable. Her voice was very soft and soothing and I enjoyed that. I would probably play this when I need some background music that is not distracting.
Very Beatles-esque.
I really liked this album so much more than expected.
This album hits every time. I love The Cure and this one of their best albums.
Unlistenable. She may have something to say in regards to our current political environment and I respect the hell out of that, BUT can it be stated in a way that is less like electronic nails on a chalkboard and more like music that doesn’t disrupt the central nervous system causing unnecessary anxiety?
My listening notes just say: trying to be an edgier version of Enya? And somehow less cool.
Its weird and quirky lyrics made me very happy. This album is probably not for everyone, but it was definitely what I needed today.
They’re not really my thing but I do get why people like them. I do very much like the song Howlin’ For You, so that it was on this album made me think, oh maybe I’ll like this album as much as that song, but alas, just not my thing. Still giving it 4 stars though because I feel like they deserve it. 😂
I don’t understand the hype. Thom Yorker’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard. No thank
You.
I’ve loved this album for a 100 years. If someone wants to be introduced to Yes, this is the album I would suggest.
I really wanted to love this album when I was a teenager, on the 80s but I did not. I really wanted to love it 40 yrs later but alas, I still did not. Live albums are just NOT my thing and I don’t understand why live albums are on a list like this. Seeing a band live is amazing. Feeling the energy of the crowd, seeing your favorite musician expertly play their instrument right before your eyes, front man to crowd banter. It’s all so fucking good…it does NOT transfer to a live album, like even a little. Sorry, it just doesn’t.
My least favorite album by the Police. I k ow it had the most commercial success but I can’t understand why this is on this list over any of the 4 albums that came before it. It’s too polished maybe? It doesn’t invoke the same feelings as the previous albums did for me. And Every Breath You Take is perhaps my least favorite song in the universe and I can’t be the only one who found it creepy as fuck to be used over and over again as a wedding song. Big NO THANK YOU here.
Heavy David Bowie influence on several songs. All around liked this album more than expected but in reality I will probably forget all about this album shortly after I submit this rating.
I just read an article about the song Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and how the band hated it, hated recording it, thought it was a ridiculous Paul song and no one but him was into it. Add me to the list of people not into it. The rest of the album is fantastic however.
Not my thing but it was poppy and easy
The racist wanker ruins this for me. No thank you.
Not one misstep on this entire album, when Meatloaf and Jim Steinman wrote this, they were at the top of their game.
Every song bettter than the last.
Not one good song after the two hits. It was so boring. The only good thing I have to say is that it was not very long.
With the recent (to me) revelations that Anthony Kiedis is an admitted pedofile, it has changed my opinion on every bit of the RHCP catalog. I would have given this 4 ⭐️ previously but now tainted by Kiedis’s proclivities it’s a 1 for me 🤢
This is bar far my personal favorite Springsteen album. That’s it. Enjoy!
This is the first REM album I owned and listened to in repeat forever. This album is so full of nostalgia for me and that may color my rating a bit. You Are the Everything and World Leader Pretend are my two favorite non hit tracks, but honestly there isn’t a single song that doesn’t hit home for me. My advice is…Go Listen to it now!
I don’t really enjoy the Eagles, and the hits on here were some of my least favorite of their hits. I was very pleased that this album did not contain Hotel California, because I assumed that with the amount of air play that song still gets 50 years later, it must be on every single one of their albums. They have a song called Chug All Night that I thought was probably the least interesting song in the album until I heard the next track, Most of Us are Sad. I like songs about sadness, the sadder the better honestly, I really like to feel the emotions of a sad song. This song didn’t move me and I nearly nodded off a minute. One more song of note would be early bird, which opens with the trilling of a songbird which is a little too cutesy for me, then the song starts and I keep finding myself thinking that the songwriter must have been very pleased with the toddler who helped conceive the lyrics.
I’m giving this album 2 stars rather than one because it wasn’t so awful that I couldn’t listen to the entire thing and also because Hotel California wasn’t on it.
So TL;DR This album left me wanting a whole lot more, and my expectations were pretty low to begin with because I’m not typically a fan.
I’m going to listen to the album I missed yesterday now, Green by REM, as a reward for making it through this album.
Strong nostalgia
Meh.
Such an iconic album. Johnny Cash has been a musical staple in my life since I was a child. My grandfather was a huge fan which may color my opinion in this album, but it is by far, my favorite live album by any artist ever.
I couldn’t bring myself to even listen to an album about the grooming of a 15 yr old CHILD by a middle aged rich man whose sole intention was to seduce and fuck. So gross. This album shouldn’t be on a list except a sexual predators list. It’s 2023, women are fed the fuck up and we are not accepting nostalgia as a means to degrade and demoralize us. Read the room.
