Nope.

Gah enough of him!! Too much on here. 78 whiny minutes.

Off the wall is still better, but this was a monster in 82

Couldnt do it. Her voice killed it for me.

Its Bowie. Its going to be good

Great album. Good stuff in the middle that wasnt released as singles

Whiny sad bastard music.

Meh. Not for me.

Weird and long but some lyrics were quite funny.

The debut of the synthesizer for VH. Last David album. Good stuff mostly

Folky

Horns and horns and horns

Fantastic start to finish

Dont know how that was associated with punk. That wasnt punk

If jam bands played funk, this would be it. Very long and repetitive on some songs but overall good

Disappointing. After all the hubbub I heard about Pulp, this was ass. Not impressed at all. Boring at best.

Overall decent. Follow up album was better IMO but this one was different for the time.

Meh. Too pop. Not for me at all

Not for me

Would be a 5 if not for the radio ruining so many of these songs. Well put together double album

Such a great album. Almost perfect

Folky

Too long mostly. Other than the 3 radio songs, this is not that great.

Arguably the best rock debut album ever. Definitely of the 80s. Amazing start to finish. Isn’t a bad song on here

After listening to this, I can’t find a song I’d like to hear again. It wasn’t bad, just forgettable. Maybe I’ll try again

Good stuff. Nice beats throughout

Appreciate the longevity and the style, but just cant get into it like the fans can. Thom is impressive but it goes stale after 4 or 5 songs

Not a big fan of this style of music, but Tori is such an amazing songwriter and musician. Solid debut album

So good. Amazing band.

Outstanding.

Mediocre and forgettable

Better than I was expecting. Got a little repetitive towards the end, but all around a decent listen

Nice background music.

So good. Start to finish there isnt a bad song on here.

Decent live album

Such a storyteller. Not even his best album and its chock full of hits.

Really sub par album.

Phenomenal debut album.

So good. A 1 2 punch at the beginning and just keeps pounding on you until the rib breaking body blow of “Wake Up”

These guys should have either added more to each song that wasn’t repetitive or trimmed the fat. Too much of the same thing in each song. Repeated choruses way too many times. Put another verse in or trim the length

Would give 3.5 if possible. Not quite a 4 but better than a 3. Dwight was a bright point of the 90s shit country that came out

Disappointed. Was expecting more from this. Her voice is amazing, but the songs were just blah. Loved the Fugees, and agin her voice is so good I just wasn’t impressed with this. Solid 2.5 to 3 here

Generic and forgettable. Sounds like an amalgam of the shit bands that came out around the same time. Reminded me of the made up band that Adrianna was trying to get signed in “The Sopranos” Not impressed at all

Cool voice. Good jazz stuff here. Tragic story about her, though.

Couldnt do it. Only 2nd album I couldn’t finish. Too repetitive, too long. 7 minutes of Around the World? Come on. Maybe if I was in my late teens/early twenties. Roger Murtaugh here, I’m too old for this shit.

Between 3 and 4 on this. Decent stuff, last song was the best

Other than the Prince song this was ok at best

Experimental, I get it. But theres a 17 minute “song” that sounds like yawning for most of it. 2.5 rating only for the experimental sound

Solid 2.5 rating

Started out good then fizzled. 2.5

Nope.

Solid 3.5 from Waylon

Maybe if they mentioned Skynyrd another couple hundred more times. Sounded like a crap country band that tried a rock album and failed miserably. Plus 90 minutes of this? No thank you

Dont know of any other album that all songs still get regular airplay. All 8 songs done by 2 guys then they added the band. Sick debut album

Better than I was expecting. All around pretty decent

Cant stand this guy. Overrated and boring

Recognize the talent, but never could get into his solo music. Cream was better. Hard to separate the man from the music now that hes such a douche

Solid 3.5 here

Another album for sex. Not bad.

28 songs, 33 minutes long. Couldnt understand a single word and it was labeled explicit. 2.5-3 rating. Nowhere near the best thing I’ve heard but far from the worst

Decent album

Good stuff. Solid 3.5

Good stuff here. Could be 3.5

Horny angry woman rocks

Better than the debut IMO. Solid album

Smooth as silk

Have no idea what i just listened to. But i didnt like it much

Theres filler on here that kept it from a 5, but this was the soundtrack for ‘92

Solid 3.5 from me, but this thing was a monster in its day. You couldn’t turn of FM rock radio or MTV and not hear something from this album.

Enjoyed this more than i was expecting.

Her music is beautiful, wonderfully mixed. I should listen to her more often. This one was very very good

Kind of meh. Not something I’d revisit

Music was really good. Dug the banjos, other instruments, all flowed well together. Lyrics were generic and actually quite bad. Shame, could have been a great album. Maybe an instrumental instead of those grade school level lyrics. Could have been 3.5 now 2.5

Good stuff with Bowie cowriting most

Solid 3.5 here

Pretty good stuff here

Folky. 2.5 maybe. Not my sound

3 stars only for White Girl.

Nice voice but it got old pretty quick. Last song was the best of the bunch

This was pretty boring actually. I hear the messages, they don’t need to be repeated that many times. 2.5 rating maybe

Meh. Dance music not for me anymore

Ok i guess. A little whiny. Reminded me of Morrissey if he was in the 60s

Ok she had a good voice. But she wasnt Aretha, Dusty, Etta or any of the other greats and I don’t know why she gets dumped into that group. Album was good not great

Much better than i was expecting. Solid

Have to give it a 4 just for nostalgia

Forgot how good this was.

The hits are great, the rest is..ok. 3.5

The instrumentals were ok. Then he started rapping? Singing? I dont even know. Track 9 was just plain awful. Stick to instrumentals. 2.5 at best.

I dont know what i just listened to.

No. Just no

Much better than i was expecting. Flowed perfectly from start to finish

Way too long, repetitive and quite boring in parts. Maybe a 2.5

Solid 3.5 here. Wasn’t expecting to enjoy this. Good stuff

Not my style

Started out good then fizzled. 2.5

Good stuff

Decent but forgettable

Great stuff here

2.5 maybe. Not my taste.

Interestingly different

3 for nostalgia alone

Boring and generic. Sounded like everyone else that came out around the same time. Maybe 2.5

Nope. The “preacher speak” killed it. Everything-uh was spoken-uh like this-uh! The entire-uh album-uh was done this-uh way. Musicians were good, some of the tracks were ok minus the vocals-uh. Maybe a 2.5 at best. And thats very generous.

This just kept getting better every song. I had no idea what to expect with this, but what a chill, soulful album. Long but passed quick. Solid 4

Good but not his best

Too long, but pretty interesting

Talent, theres no denying it, but long, repetitive and very simple lyrics. Each song could have been trimmed about 30 to 45 seconds of repeat chorus.

3.5 maybe? Title song and Vincent give it that rating the rest was ok.

Really good

The best part of this is the guest stars. Ye is not half as good as he thinks he is, and there are way better out there. Stick to producing.

Garage rock at its finest

Not bad.

Could have been a 4 if they would have trim some of the fat. Did not need to be that long.

Decent listen. Solid 3.5 here

Pretty impressive voice on this young lady. Decent album

Meh. It was ok but pretty generic. Sounded very similar to other artists of the time. Maybe a 2.5?

No they werent the best, but they were a huge part of my youth. Sister loved them and they will always hold a place. Solid for just for the memories.

Nope.

Shaping what was to come. Solid 4 only for Harris writing. Once Bruce, Nikko, Adrian came in it was the perfect group

Interesting. Good Sunday morning record, which was exactly when I got it.

Interesting. Sounds like where Rammstein got their sound

Boring

Too long but pretty good. Better than anything Kanyet did for sure

A little better than the other 2, still dont get it. Also dont know why they are on here 3 times

Decent listen

Almost a wu tang album, good enough for me. They need to trim the fillers tho. 3.5

Again, this guy didn’t make a bad album. The last few tracks pulled this back to a 5

All day a 5. One of the best hip hop albums ever

Great album. Final song is definitely the best on the album. Almost a 5

Maybe 2.5. I expected better

Ok i guess. Sounded like smashing pumpkins mixed with our lady peace. Nothing special but not terrible. 2.5 i think

It was like listening to the same song for 49 minutes. Crooners are fine but this cat was and will always be overrated.

3.5 maybe? Shes got a cool voice, good songwriter as well. Kind of dig her stuff

3.5? First hardcore punk album deserves some love

Thank you Mr Tarantino

Awful. Same thing on every song. Even some i skipped halfway through, it was still the same beat. Too much electronica and techno in this list

Decent

Doesnt really hold up over time.

The music was ok but why put a bunch of half ass spoken word nonsense in there? I dont know what the hell i just listened to but it wasn’t worth 56 minutes of my time.

I probably wouldn’t seek this guy out to listen, but the albums of his on this list are really, really good.

Very very good album

Like the others around this time, it’s too long. Trim the fat and it would be a solid 4. Good stuff, 3-3.5 all day, but come some of the extra at the end of each song.

We lost him way too soon. Such an artist

Ugh. More techno. Endless techno. It just goes on and on.

What a voice.

2. Oasis knock off? Not sure why this was on the list

Another that isnt my bag, but she killed this one. Still solid after all this time. Solid 3.5

So, so good. Shame we only got 2 albums out of these guys. Both are great, but this one set the bar

Never got the fascination for these guys. Maybe it was the overplay of Fire Woman on FM radio. Killed them for me. Singers voice is quite annoying. Reminds me of Morrissey singing rock. Not quite as whiny. Equally annoying. Maybe a 2.5 here

Booooooring… i dont understand why musicians think it is necessary to repeat the chorus for 7 times at the end of a song. End it! Songs were too long and went nowhere. Could have trimmed quite a bit of fat and been better

Pretty good

First time finding myself having a hard time separating the art from the artist. Not a bad album but what a mess of a human.

Maybe 3.5

Having never heard these guys, I’m glad I started this 1001 journey. Another solid from this band. They are quite good

3.5 maybe? Far from their best but still solid

Not as good as I was hoping. Could have trimmed some time off

I get that this was pretty much the first post punk album, but it really wasnt that good. Their later stuff was much better. 2.5 maybe. Expected more from them

Does it matter that he couldn’t sing all that well? No. The music, the lyrics all defined who he is. One of the greatest story tellers every.

Why 3 times on here? They were not that good. This was slightly better than the other 2 but still not worth being on here 3 times. Maybe a 3 and thats giving extra props because someone, somewhere thought they deserved 3 entries on this list

Other than the hit, nothing spectacular here. And the Iron Man cover? Please never again

Noise rock. Blah blah. At least make it entertaining

Nothing great here. The instrumentals were good, decent beats. Then the singing, talking whatever started.

IMO, its the 3rd best behind Sticky Fingers and Let it Bleed. However, it is of course a 5 and I can see why it is thought of as their best. Outstanding album

This is why i started this journey, to find albums like this. Really great stuff here.

Not bad, i guess

Sounded dubbed. Probably not from one show. Mid

Boring. Again, the most overrated of the crooners ever. If he wasn’t mob connected, career would have gone nowhere

Tried and tried to get into these guys. I respect the talent of Jerry, but I can’t do it. At least this album didn’t have the 20 minute jam nonsense.

Too long but decent I guess. 2.5? Maybe a 3

Nowhere near as good as Pet Sounds.

4.5 not quite a 5

Generic. Nothing memorable on here at all. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t good.

Knew I recognized that voice! Once I remembered where, the album got higher rated.

Not bad. Makes you wonder what might have been had Razzle not gotten in the car with Vince

Started off good, then fizzled at the end. Still 3.5, based on the era. The title song still holds and the first 3/4 of this was really good.

Coat of many colours was a good cover, put Dolly is hard to beat. Overall good album

Her hits were hits, very good stuff. The rest? Not so much. Not as great as her others but this still holds up. Not s desert island album, but good anyway. 3.5

Even better now that its pissing so many people off. Seriously, have some people never heard of punk?

Awful. Way too much EDM on here anyway, but this was the absolute worst. Generic repetitive nonsense. I get why some EDM is here but not this. There is no way this was groundbreaking or unique. Complete ass.

Meh. Ok in parts. Maybe a 3.

I didn’t dislike this. It went by fairly quick and was entertaining. Its not something i would seek out to listen to, but it wasn’t bad at all

3.5 maybe? Good stuff, a little long but overall a good listen

Good stuff.

Long. Too many skits. Answering machines conversations etc… that was done in the 90s, move on. Hes good, I see why he is considered one of the best. Definitely better by miles than Kanye. Just shorten them up. Dont need the same lines repeated that much, and the 12 minute song? No. Best track was with Dre.

Another album, that without Bowie, we wouldn’t have.

This was pretty enjoyable. No idea about it beforehand but good stuff

2.5-3 only for the energy he had. Not my style but appreciate the voice

Monster album for mtv era.

Really good except the filler. The skits, the nonsense. Another album that could have trimmed the fat of excess chorus and skits and been phenomenal.

Way too long but quite a few diamonds in the rough here.

Better than the other one, though not by much. Again the best ones are with other people. The beats and music are pretty good but the filler and the length bring it down. Kanye is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. There are many better, Kendrick, Jay, Nas especially. Stick to producing.

Killer stuff here, Kiwanuka solidified this as a 4

Chill. Rainy Sunday afternoon stuff

She should have stayed in the 90s

His voice grates on my ears after awhile. Appreciate the history and what it did at the time, but damn its like a railroad spike on a chalkboard

Loved these guys, too bad pete couldnt leave the heroin alone and they couldnt get along. Could have been much more from them. Great album

Decent i guess. Toys is better imo

Good stuff. Solid 3.5 maybe 4. Tragic story

Good gems on here. 3.5 solid

Nothing great here except Pharrell appearances.

Songwriting genius.

4.5

89 was a monster year for hip hop. 3rd best only beaten by 3 feet high and rising and Pauls Boutique.

Not space rock. Noise rock maybe. Not many redeeming qualities in this

3.5 all day. Had fun with this one

There’s a line in “High Fidelity,” which this band is mentioned in btw, that says “I just want something I can ignore.” That about sums this up. Was it bad? No. Was it deserving of this list? Probably. Would I listen again? If there was nothing else and I needed to ignore something with music playing, then yes I would.

Very good album. Pay attention Kanye. This blows your doors off

Meh. Didn’t hold up

Jazzy

More electronic. At least this one was shorter and a little more tolerable.

One of my favorite bands of all time, if not my favorite. (At least right now, it changes) and this is a great album there is no doubt. I don’t often criticize the judgement of the author but adding this and not including Animals is an error.

Quite good

2.5 maybe? Doesnt hold up

Pretty damn food stuff. Wasn’t expecting to enjoy this

2.5 maybe

Ok but listening to the whole thing nonstop was tiresome. Maybe it was that much of her voice. 2.5 stars

Doesnt really hold up

Meh

Yeah it was good but their other earlier albums are better

Ass then, ass now. Politics and Bud Light aside this was never good. I don’t like giving a 1 rating but this is deserving of a 1. Garbage

Not bad

Way too long. I dig FM, but this felt repetitive. There were multiple songs on here that I felt I had just heard. Decent album but there are much better in their collection. Needed a good trimming to cut some of the time

The man didn’t write songs. They were stories. This album is one incredible story after another. Even the Rat would approve

The world wasn’t ready for this in 1966. Killer stuff

2.5 maybe? Nothing spectacular here. Forgettable.

Another that could be a 5 if not for the length. Just too long, but a solid album start to finish. Trim the fat. Cash definitely crushed the “Hurt” cover.

Maybe 3.5 not quite a 4. Good stuff tho

Sounded like the same song the whole album.

Meh ok i guess

No not a fan, but I see the talent. She writes her own. It wasn’t that bad, but hard to listen to all at once. Break it up and its listenable. Wasn’t expecting to hear her use language, and sing about sex. I don’t get all the hate on her, she has way more talent than half of the nonsense out now.

Better than “Can” still odd though. Guess that is what made it listenable. Maybe 3.5?

How can you deny what this album did in 86-87? Radio monster

This was pretty good. Surprised there are good albums in the 2010s on here.

Knopfler showing why hes top 20 axeman

Different but pretty solid. 3.5

Do we really need these guys 3 times on here? The music is ok, but his voice for a whole album? Damn I’d almost rather listen to Morrissey. Almost

Way too much dance, electronica, remix, etc on here.

3.5. I enjoyed this.

Never realized how much James got the crowds going. Those girls were going nuts for him. Good stuff

This album was all over the place. It couldn’t decide if it wanted to be good, bad or boring. It had shades of all 3, but mostly landed on the boring, bordering on bad.

Just gets better and better every song.

I love Iggy, but this one was way too much repetitive noise. Stooges have better stuff, and this was not it.

Mid and forgettable. Sounded generic and similar to the rest of the 90s alt rock whatever. Nothing to write home about. Was going to give a 3 for at least being on the list but the next to the last song killed it. Ballad-ish bullshit that doesn’t fit with the rest. Knocked you down to a 2, gents

Meh

Way too long. Just like the other one on here. Trim the fucking fat. Still way to much EDM, electronica, dance, whatever on here.

Again, 90s hip-hop too long. Trim the fat. Choruses go on too long, interludes contribute nothing. Could have been a 4, because these three ladies were great.

Gah enough of him!! Too much on here. 78 whiny minutes.

Kind of boring. No structure, just random noise. I’m a metal fan and this was not good. Take away Beautiful people and this is a 1 all day.

Quite good

Not his best

The hits are great the rest is good. They have better albums tho

I guess for the time it was good. Sounded similar to the rest of the 60s.

Typical 80s. Good voice but hard to sit through all at once. Fat should have been trimmed from some songs. Excess choruses and filler at the end needs to go

Good background music.

Typical 90s hip hop/rap. Filler goes on too long. Decent spread tho, “hustler” the best of the lot. Although hearing Sabbath and Zep mixed on “Midnight” was quite good

Early Lemmy. Great stuff

Started out good then fizzled. Then the covers began. Yeesh. No

Better than the other one on here but still nothing amazing. At least it was shorter

Better than the other one they have on here, but still meh at best

Nice voice

Maybe 3.5. Breakfast is the better album

Ok. Not as good as his others

What? No. No. no no no. This was awful

Not her best, but she reinvents herself each album. The autotune song had to go, though.

Off the wall is still better, but this was a monster in 82

Could listen to this guy all day

Any member of the Clan gets an auto bump just because. Another solid effort from one of the Wu Tang. 3.5 maybe a 4

Didnt like this. Not sure why but it just didnt click for me. Nothing jumped out and it was quite boring

Definitely hear the bands they influenced. Mostly covers on here, decent stuff good sound

Why the hell is there so much electronica on here? Another snoozefest of the same shit repeating in 4-5 minute intervals.

That was…….interesting?

Good voice but way too long

Solid

Ok, but hard to listen to all at once. Her voice can grind a little. Still good for it’s place in the 80s though.

My new favorite discovery from this list

Decent but long. Drawn out. 2.5 maybe a 4

Solid debut.

Hello children! Here’s one of my albums before I became your chef.

She had such a great voice

Really, really good. Could be a five. Almost

2.5? Nothing spectacular about this

Real quick, I was just telling the guys in the back about this piece of vinyl. It still holds up. A definite noine out of ten. Definitely on my top ten desert island albums, boff.

3.5

Very stereotypical country album. Drinking loss heartache cheating etc etc. ok shes a decent songwriter, voice isnt terrible but there isnt much here to stand out from every other country album of the time.

I enjoyed this. Wasn’t expecting it and found it entertaining

Love these guys

I dont think this aged well. Theres some really not good stuff here. There are some gems but not enough to land a 3. Close, but still in the 2s

Meh. Long winded.

Never heard of this guy, glad I heard it. Solid album

7 songs over 78 minutes long. Do the math. Ive tried and tried to get into these guys and I just cant. I see the talent but I just cant. At least its not EDM. Give it a 3 for staying power

Never could really get into them, but decent album anyway

Wow that was depressing

If this album doesn’t get you moving, nothing will

Ok I guess

Ok i guess. Little long

2.5? Not sure if I enjoyed this. It was too long for one, and it didn’t really leave an impression

Whatever mixer decided to put “Albatross” as the lead track took a giant gamble. Too long, repetitive, droll and quite annoying. Could have skipped the entire album after that. After listening, I should have. Instrumentals were not good, lyrics were mid. Coming from this group I expected better. The debut was better, but this definitely got the sophomore slump. Barely a 2, and that’s generous

More sad bastard whining from the king of it

Not what i was expecting with the love ballads. Overall doesn't really hold up. 2.5 probably

Why are they on here so much? I really don’t get it. I’ve tried on every album that has popped up and I can’t get past a 2 rating. I don't get the hype.

Hard not to give this a 5. Not even the biggest Who fan but this was so good. Easily a 4.5. Lyrics are pretty disturbing listening to the entire thing

Perfect. Can’t imagine listening to this for the first time in 1970. Started an entire genre of music

3.5 here maybe? Pretty solid debut

Ok fred, you like to say f$ck. We get it. Late 90s attempt at rap metal falls flat 24 years later. Can’t believe I actually own this CD. Does not hold up and it’s a shame because Wes is actually a really good axeman.

Interesting

Preacher-uh Speak-uh again. Each song sounded like the record was skipping and it was playing the same thing over and over.

Not impressed

Pretty good. If Guy Ritchie were to narrate one of his movies.

Can't take these guys in big chunks. Decent listen but too long. Did appreciate the cheech and chong at the end

Quite possibly the best album ever produced.
