There certainly is creativity here, it just fails to reach me

This is too noisy and weird even for me

Not his best work, still some very good tracks on here, would give it a 3.5/5 if I could

An interesting mix of styles but falls flat in the middle, yet I bump it up to a 3 instead of going down to a 2

There is no world where you can convince me this album needs to be on this list

Got a rolling stones vibe

Not an Elvis fan

Jazz. Need to be in the right mood and setting for it.

I like The Smiths :)

2.5 would be more accurate, just average for me

Not my cup of tea

Depeche Mode vibes

Never heard of them before, but they’re basically a poor man’s version of “if the rolling stones went down the punk path”

Never heard of them and didn’t particularly like them

Unexpected music popping up here

Decades is the reason I bumped it up to a 4, otherwise would be a 3 for me

Country music is a no no for me

Joyful, high-tempo punk rock

Sounds very generic to me

Don’t think I would listen to this album again, as unique as it is

Easy 5

Bongos - check

This album was very popular growing up, sure, but even back then I wasn’t a fan of it

Very meh r&b

Enjoyable 90s rap

Average hard rock band. Not a bad album, but nothing special

Randy Newman is overrated imho. He has a few good songs that make him stand out, but other than that it’s nothing special

A worse version of the Beatles

Great album, Disarm is one of my favorite songs

Objectively probably a 3, but nostalgia hits like a mfer

David Bowie, a man ahead of his time

Pretty decent album to have on in the car when while you’re driving around town

Some very enjoyable indie rock

Can see why it’s on the list, just nothing special for me

Not bad music just not my cup of tea

Some good progressive rock

Folk rock, not a fan

Not as bad as I thought it would be, but still don’t see myself going back to it in the future

Never heard of them, doubt I’ll remember them

First time I was introduced to Jane Weaver, started so-so but “Did you see butterflies?” was meh but picked it up with “Modern Kosmology”

Never was a big fan of The Beach Boys, and it doesn’t help that this isn’t one of their better albums

Weird vibes of funk-jazz-soul music? Just not for me

This is not an objective review as I really like Depeche Mode

I know this is a well regarded album but for me it just feels so ordinary

I like Black Sabbath but I don’t consider this their best album

Good music for when you’re wandering around the Mojave

I am sorry but I just can’t deal with country music

Atmospheric indie pop with a nice vibe to it

Would rate it 2.5 if I could. Not bad, just average

Groovy, “light” music, but would like it to be more upbeat, would rate 2.5 if I could

Very chill pop rock, might work well as background music

Very “meh” album for me, nothing memorable about it

Not my cup of tea

Nothing special about it, but not too bad, another album that I would rate 2.5 if I could

This kind of soul/funk music is more to my liking than other of it’s genre

I just could not engage with this album

Some good songs mixed in with some not so good ones

Some pretty good upbeat new wave music

Never heard of this band/album before and nothing about it feels memorable or distinctive

Not their best work, but still good by Daft Punk standards.

I am very picky when it comes to metal, and this doesn’t do it for me

They have better stuff, which is why it only seems right to rate this a 4 and keep the 5 for their best work

I like electronic music but this wasn’t it

Very atmospheric music, great voice, bumped it up to a 4 because of “You Want It Darker”

Some pretty average R&B imo, 2.5 would be more accurate

Pretty good album, but I feel like KISS gets overrated a lot

Feels generic, cheesy lyrics, nothing memorable about this album

They have better stuff but this album isn’t too bad either

Kind of repetitive, but also kind of different, unfortunately it stands out in a not so good way

Decent music and lyrics even now, but back then it was something else, nostalgia bumps it up one point

Pretty good, decent music that I didn’t mind listening too, will I come back to it? Hard to say

So many classics on this album it’s ridiculous

Good, enjoyable album with lots of replayability potential

I only really knew “Cars” before this, the album is kind of more of the same, which is not necessarily a bad thing

Pretty decent nostalgic dance music

Good singer, nice use of the instruments but the fact that it’s live detracts a bit from the score for me

There’s no “You Want It Darker” to bump it up this time, still would rate 2.5 if I could

I spent half the album waiting for it to actually start, it never does, so I just gave up

This is a really hit or miss album, unfortunately it’s a miss for me

The Boatman's Call is a solid album that showcases Cave's songwriting and vocal skills. While it may not be as accessible or upbeat as some of his other work, it is a powerful and poignant exploration of love and loss that fans of his music will appreciate.

This is a 2 because it’s live, I am sorry but imho there shouldn’t be any live albums on here

This album just doesn’t seem to have the same energy or creativity as it leads you on to think at times with some of it’s songs, which are rather the exception to on otherwise just “loud” album

Alice Copper did not age very well truth being told, and yet I still found some enjoyment in this album.

Objectively speaking, this period of the 80s wasn’t the best time for hard rock, and bon jovi proves that. That being said, I do get a bit of enjoyment out of listening to him, so the 3/5 is just personal preference

Gets repetitive too quickly

Feel about conflicted about the rating, another one of those where I wish for a 2.5, but since I did get some enjoyment out of it, I’ll bump it up to a 3

One of the best albums out there

The album features a mix of upbeat and introspective tracks, and while some may not hit as hard as others, there are still a couple of standout moments.

Great renditions of classic songs

Feels too much like background music

Fun stuff, did not expect it to be this enjoyable

This is what “swamp” rock is all about

The Passenger is such a ridiculously good song

Not really a fan of these jazzy albums, and they seem quite popular

This still holds up all this time later. Not as good as Back in Black though

Did not age well

Too much mediocre “electronica” here :(

Whoever said Air is a better version of Daft Punk has been of their meds. They’re not terrible, but in no way should they be compared to Daft Punk just because they have “electronica” vibes

Thrash metal is too metal for me

I feel like I should like this album more, but I guess it’s just not my thing

There certainly is creativity here, it just fails to reach me

This always felt experimental by them

Not his best work, still some very good tracks on here, would give it a 3.5/5 if I could

Would this album have been as popular if it weren’t written by a member of The Beatles?

Hard to hate this classic, very representative of it’s time

I have a similar relationship with Muse that I have with Red Hot Chili Peppers, I like them, but I haven’t listened to them often, although that might be the reason for me liking them, the lack of oversaturation that a lot of people seem to be using as a reason for why these bands suck

Very weird to see this on here as it’s not even a soundtrack, it’s a movie score with a lot of awkward, silent pauses

Pretty average album, bumped it up to 3 for nostalgic reasons truth be told

Did not expect to rate it this high coming into it, but it really is a beautiful album that I enjoyed listening to

This album tricks you into thinking it might be decent with the first song, don’t be fooled.

I am not a fan of punk rock, but The Clash hits different

Just your average new wave-punk-rock album really

Very meh and slow

Nice, chill background music, perfect for a smokers lounge

As many albums and artists I try, country still remains a “no” for me

Having never listened to this album, this was exactly what I was expecting when I read “pop album with Kate Bush influence”

Never thought I’d rate something other than country music a 1

I am not a big Black Sabbath fan but they have some really great albums that I keep going back to, this being one of them

Would objectively give it a 4, but the timeless classics “Baba O’Riley” and “Behind Blue Eyes” made me realize that I have to bump this up to a 5

Sounds like your usual 60s folk/pop music, nothing memorable about it for me

Some good blues right here, removing 1 point because of the “lives” which shouldn’t be on an album imo

This is what electronic music is all about. I got a lot of enjoyment out of this album, standout track - Frontier Psychiatrist

Great album from a legendary band, always a joy to listen to their music

I know a lot of people enjoy his music, but it’s just not for me

I don’t normally enjoy this kind of music, but Bobby just hits different for some reason

Not going to lie, the album is really boring at times, then again, great album for listening in a bar somewhere while enjoying a glass of whiskey

Slayer metal is too metal for me

This album is not what I expected, which was some chill cafe music, instead this feels like something you would listen when the world ends

Did not age well unfortunately, feels bland by today’s standards

Old and not gold. Sounds like your typical 50-60s american music that you will not care about unless you were born in the US

Funky soul music, quite the combination now that I think about it. Did I like it? Not really

Without a doubt a great and memorable album. I am not much of a Beatles fan though, which is why I give it 4/5

Not much of a jazz fan so I guess I can’t appreciate the genius of Ray Charles

I don’t know if they’re the first ones that blended rap with rock, I’m assuming they’re not, but they’re the ones that stand out for me

Honestly the Ace of Spades was the only Motorhead song I knew before this album, can’t exactly say I missed much. It’s not bad, just average for me, and with all average albums I have to decide between 2 or 3.

“Groovy” I guess, really wish for a 2.5 score

I feel like this album tries to do too much and therefore has no identity. You have country music at the beginning, then some rock, and then a mix between the two with some pop on top?

Even for punk rock this feels like a mess

Your typical loud, 80s grunge

Some pretty decent chill rock, enjoyable to listen to on a road trip

Ugh

High energy and has a good vibe to it, also feels like it has more “order” to it than your typical punk rock album

Always felt like Kate Bush was too overrated, still think that. That being said, this isn’t a bad album, just nog as great imo as others make it out to be

Smooth rhymes, smooth rhythm, this has aged rather well

A bit too much of everything, unfortunately succeeded only at being rather average. I liked “Darkness Darkness”, but it being at the beginning makes you expect something that you don’t get from the rest of the album

Vibes of a poor mans’s Metallica

So you’ve got “Heads will roll” here that I feel like everyone knows, and is pretty decent. As for the rest of the album, just your usual loud punk rock that I’m not really a fan of

Art rock, opera rock, not sure what correctly to call it, but it’s definitely a great album

Had 0 expectations, thought it’s yet another band I’ve never heard of with yet another average album. Completely wrong of course. Great album. 4/5

Fun, synthy, 80’s new wave music

This is a band I enjoy and occasionally listen to, so it’s an easy 4/5 for me

Is this another artist that people get nostalgic about hence he’s rated highly?

Meh

Was not expecting to come across DnB here. Anyway, not really a fan

I am not a fan of blues apparently, at least not of Muddy Waters

Bland, repetitive, uninteresting, unappealing, I could go on

Not a big U2 fan, but I did enjoy listening to this album

Blondie's "Parallel Lines" is a classic rock/pop album that shares similarities with other music of the era. While influential, some tracks lack energy, and the sound hasn't aged well.

I don’t get why it’s labeled as “rock”, maybe seeing that made me have different expectations of it, instead just left me feeling slightly confused

Yup, this is the album that has that one Blur song that everyone knows. It’s also got a bunch of other good songs though. Would rate it 3.5 if I could, because it’s definitely better than other albums I rated a 3/5 (not reaching a 4 though)

A bit confused as to why it’s on this list tbh

Expected it to be more rock than folk, it’s not

I mean… it’s alright…

Was going to rate it a 1 initially, but it actually, surprisingly, gets a bit better as you keep listening to it

I am actually surprised this album has such high ratings… everyone has a different ear for music I guess

There’s nothing special here, just another typical album that you’d hear in the 60s

Yet another noisy album with nothing else to show for itself other than being loud

It’s very “backgroundish”, wouldn’t mind listening to it again, but I doubt I’ll seek it out

Nah

Upbeat, dancey, shades of Depeche Mode? Overall pretty enjoyable, just nothing to blow you away

Better than other country albums I’ve come across here so this one gets bumped up to a 2, not the usual 1

Feels like some generic punk rock band from the lower end of the spectrum

Some pretty decent dark and dreamy trip hop

Felt kind of slow and boring, just not for me I guess

Never heard of Hole before, and I don’t particularly like grunge but this album was actually pretty decent

It’s kinda hard to judge, on the one hand, kinda meh, on the other, it’s a raw, blue-ish rock album from 67. I bet it sounded sick when it came out then

The late 60s, early 70s have such a unique sound to them you can pick them out very easily, and Jefferson Airplane is one of the reasons for that

Well this is an odd one, very dreamy to say the least

The hype when it came out was ridiculous, listening to it now… it’s good… just feels kinda repetitive a bit

Another one of those “you had to be there” albums

A few tracks here and there are fine for me, but a whole album is too much

A better version of the beatles? And I don’t even rate the beatles that high

This album showcases his immense talent and innovation. While it contains some standout tracks and unforgettable moments, the overall experience falls short in certain areas.

This is everything that rock and roll was about in the 70s

Feels underwhelming when compared to their other stuff

Too much shouting

Surprisingly fun, and you can tell that they’re all actually very skilled

Not exactly “Let it Bleed” levels of greatness but still very good. Gets bumped up to a 4 thanks to a certain song

Background music to enjoy a drink more than anything really

Has a very soul-ish feel to it, whether that makes it good or bad you decide

Too folk-ish for my liking

Has a few good jams worth listening too, all in all not too bad

I really tried, but I just couldn’t get into it

Firstly, jazz is not exactly my cup of tea, and even then, this is a live session which I am also not a fan of

Kate Bush has to be one of the most overrated artists ever, she has maybe 2 good songs?

An interesting mix of styles but falls flat in the middle, yet I bump it up to a 3 instead of going down to a 2

It doesn’t get any better than this

This album grew on me the further it went

I’ll be honest, never heard of Jeru before this, maybe if I did I’d rate the album higher, but judging it by today’s standards it sounds very “regular”

Honestly sounds very generic, just in french

For a debut album it’s not that bad, but of course you can’t help but compare it to their best album, and in that regard it comes up lacking

Meh

I actually bumped it up to a 4, subjectively, because of the two iconic songs on this album that are actually very good

Very neutral, enjoyable background music. Works great while you’re doing something else

It might actually be better than my 2, but it’s a live session, and that always muddies my listening experience

This is probably their weakest (if not the weakest) album. That being said, a weak album for Iron Maiden is still out of reach for a lot of bands trying to copy them

Can’t believe this album has more than 30 years now. Just as good as the day it came out.

Feels generic, but has some standout tracks, making it an above average album for me

Yet another example of an album that has not aged well

Just a worse version of The Cure

Electronic music pioneers delivering mind-blowing beats and fearless experimentation. An easy 5/5

Food for thought, is this the inspiration behind pop punk?

The problem with Bjork’s music for me is that it gets old very fast, you listen to a few songs and then it feels like it’s the same with minor differences

Not exactly something I would listen to normally, but it did catch me by surprise in a good way. Pretty upbeat and groovy, although a bit too much on the pop side. Missing a bit for a 4/5, but it’s a solid 3.5/5 (that I wish I could rate)

It’s pretty bad unfortunately, this is a really hard one to recommend

I’m all for getting out of your comfort zone and listening to something you normally wouldn’t but… not this

Too weird even for me

I get why it’s on the list and objectively it has to be, but subjectively… has there ever been a band as overhyped as the beatles?

Too many weird random noises

One or two instrumental songs is ok for me, but a whole album is way too much. That being said, I can’t believe how many recognizable tracks are on here.

Psychedelic background music… although it’s got some stand out moments that makes it passable

If only Immigrant Song was last, would be a great way to end the album, rather than raise your expectations from the start and fall short the rest of the way

“We Are Young” is alright… but apart from that… meh

Very laid-back indie rock (?), although the sameness of the vocals and guitar can get a bit repetitive, I don’t particularly mind it though

Nothing stands out here, nothing is memorable, listened to it once and I doubt I’ll come back to it again

Ok-ish background music

Listening to this as a teenager back in the 70s you probably thought it was the shit, but by today’s standards, nothing particularly great about this album

You’ve got “Broken Skin” and “Nostalgia” which are pretty decent, and there’s also “Pilgrim” which is actually good. Everything else though? Really, really bad, the difference is so big it’s impressive really

Mostly good songs even if a bit on the melodic and slow side, but I guess that was the intention all along

I honestly tried

Everyone knows (you might not know the name, but you’ve heard it for sure) Cherry-coloured Funk for a reason, it’s that good. As for the rest of the album, after setting the bar that high right from the start… it’s alright I guess

It’s a good album that goes well even today, my only gripe with it is that it gets too slow at times

You either like it or you don’t. With Depeche Mode there’s no in-between

Very average sounding late 70s / early 80s music, but gets bumped up to a 3 because it’s Paul Simon

If you didn’t like this one, don’t give up on Aphex Twin, he actually has better stuff. I don’t like this album particularly much myself

Really good start, then it might lose you a bit, but ends on a high note Money For Nothing and Brothers In Arms are usually the songs I listen to once in a while

Your basic 90’s pop music

I was never a fan of Amy simply because I’m not a fan of this type of music

This is a weird one from them, not necessarily bad, just… unexpected

Some ups and downs, but overall pretty good, which is expected from Prince

Never expected an unknown language to influence how much I enjoy an album

People here complaining that it’s too repetitive… and they’re right

Starts like rock (3/5), sure enough, but quickly transitions to folk rock which is not something I particularly enjoy

Could not, for the life of me, figure out a reason as to why this album should be on the list

Even back then I wasn’t a fan of Dre, although I can see his work as being important and an influence on later artists

“Mom, can you buy me a B52 record?” “But we have B52 at home” B52 at home:

Good start but falls off quickly for me. And I do like Bowie and he has been influential, 100%, but this album just isn’t it

Controversial opinion warning - overrated album from an overrated artist

The pioneers of indie rock. Am not necessarily a fan of theirs but their influence on the genre cannot be ignored

I know people love Brian Wilson but I just don’t get it, and I did try

Such a great album, good tracks from start to finish, it’s hard for me to find something to criticize, might even be my favorite album from AC/DC

Very monotonous and “slow”. I guess it can make for some decent background music

This was like taking a trip back to memory lane, the good kind of trip

I am not a big fan of punk rock but Green Day are the exception + boulevard of broken dreams is so iconic that I feel like everyone knows it (for good reason)

Some simple yet enjoyable country rock

Funky, jazzy, if only the whole album would have this vibe…

Such a good album, especially considering it’s their debut album.

I’m reading through the reviews, the praise but I just don’t get it, and I tried, didn’t give up on it at once even if I wanted to do. I just don’t get any of it

This album is not actually that good, an average 2.5 feels fair to me but I’ll bump it up to a 3 because… well, nostalgia

This is just not my kind of music. Feels very monotonous and boring, nothing to hold me one for the ride

This does not actually feel like a full fledged album, more like something you’d put together quickly so you could work on it later

Just not my type of music

Didn’t have a lot of expectations coming in, but this album is actually pretty good, some good lyrics and doesn’t have that monotonous feel to it that a lot of similar albums suffer from

This feels like such a mediocre album

Music, like any other form of art, is subjective, so it’s perfectly fine for you to be in the same boat as me and not like this album

Not a bad album just not a lot going on to keep you there

Yeah sure, it’s different, but I don’t like this kind of different and don’t plan on revisiting it

Not saying they’re bad, but imo The Beatles has to be one of the most overrated bands out there and this album just showcases that, it has maybe 2 good songs and the rest is just filler content

Is it a bad album? No, of course not. Does listening to 2 songs feel like you’ve heard everything the album has to offer? It kinda does.

Doesn’t really feel any different than any other rock/folk singer-songwriter artists

You’ve certainly got some bangers here, like “Time After Time” and “She Bop” but my problem with her is that after 2-3 songs I start finding her voice irritating

I guess at this point I should expect all of their albums to show up on this list

I don’t particularly know where to put this one, sometimes boring, other times quite interesting, I guess straight down the middle would be fair, but I can’t go 2.5 unfortunately

To say this is weird is not saying a lot… quite the experience, I’ll put it that way

Decent album, heavy on the pop side. Do I think everyone needs to listen to this before they die? Not really

Folk music just isn’t my jam apparently

Apparently mariachi-rock is a thing, guess you do learn something new every day

I was wondering if they’ll show up here, while not particularly influential or inventive, it’s just good energy and vibes all around. Stand out songs for me are Hail Bop and Wor

Solid album from a solid band, I still don’t agree that it’s considered “metal” though

Somehow slow and one dimensional, but at the same time it’s not actually bad and is somewhat enjoyable at times

This album being on this list has to be some elaborate joke that I can’t get

A divisive album with inconsistent song quality and an experimental sound. It may appeal to die-hard fans but falls flat for me

A slightly above average album which made it to this list because… yeah, that part baffles me

Other than being “different” I cannot understand why this album is here

For some reason this album isn’t available for me on spotify so I had to listen to it on youtube, was the extra hassle worth it? No, it was not

This is an album from a band that I enjoy and come back to at times, so going into it I knew I was going to decide between a 4 or 5. While it certainly has quite a few bangers, and a couple of really good songs, it also has, unfortunately, some filler songs. It’s also a bit weird to see Gorillaz labeled as “rock”

It was ok back then, but it did not age well. It also feels longer than it has to be

Just an ok album all around, no reason for it to stick around in my head

So many classic songs on this one, it’s also one of those rare instances where it’s aged gracefully

Fun punk rock that exceeded my low expectations. It’s a 2.5 for me as I’m not a punk rock fan

I actually like the Verve, but this isn’t particularly good work, sure you have some decent songs, but the majority of them just kind of blend together and feel a bit dull

It has one of those voices that you either like or it annoys you, unfortunately it’s the latter for me

Didn’t hate it, didn’t like it either though

I understand that it’s a significant piece in hip hop history but it just doesn’t resonate with me

Stan still hitting as hard as the day it came out

Exactly what you’d expect from 60s rock and roll

Bumped it up to a 3 thanks to Breakdown and American Girl. Otherwise it feels very meh

Did not expect to enjoy this one so much, worth a listen if you’re a fan of synth-pop

Kanye always felt overrated for me, sure he’s got a few good songs, even has a good album, but this isn’t it. That being said, it’s not horrible, plenty of worse stuff on this list

Pleasantly surprised by it, a nice touch of electronic sprinkled into it

This rating is not indicative of how much I enjoy Johnny, I just don’t think live performances have a place on this list

Must have been a game-changer back in the day, but now it just blends in and feels pretty meh.

A real gem from the grunge era that hits you with deep emotion and raw energy.

I really wanted to like this more because I consider The Smiths to be pretty decent, but it just didn't click for me. The tunes felt a bit repetitive and lacked the unique spark I usually find in their music. It's not bad, just not as exciting as I hoped.

If someone doesn’t understand what pop hair-metal is, this is the album to listen to, still fun though

Not going to lie, this album left me confused

My biggest gripe with it is that it feels too repetitive. It gets bumped up to a 3 thanks to “Thinking Of You” and “We Are Family”

If you ever wondered what the punk/post-punk era sounds like in the 80s, this is the answer

I’m not a fan of jazz in general but for some reason this album felt even worse than usual

Funky, upbeat house music. Made me want to explore more of Coldcut

Starts strong but quickly starts spiraling downwards, a shame really

Good tunes on one side, pretty meh on the other, not an easy album to rate. That being said, I have to bump it up to a 3 because it is actually a pretty good album

While I can appreciate that he does good music, I never was much of a Bob Dylan fan, that being said, I still feel a bit guilty rating this album (which might actually be his last best album) this low

A good example of actually enjoyable punk rock, coming from a person that does not enjoy this type of music typically

Yes, this is the album that has that one song about a fast automobile

I do not like country music at all, it’s an easy 1/5 for me, but Johnny is an exception. What isn’t an exception are live sets, I honestly don’t think they have a place here.

My definition of a perfectly average singer making average music, I don’t get why he shows up so often on this list

Enjoyable rock album mixed in with some jazzy vibes

Shades of LCD Soundsystem, that being said, I’m hoping there will be some of their stuff on this list

“Where is my mind?” is a banger as anyone who has seen Fight Club would say, and I guess it’s kinda true. Other than that, just disjointed noise really

There is way too much Simon & Garfunkel on this list

Starts off ok, the gets progressively worse track by track

There’s too much Costello on this list

A very solid album all around

It starts out pretty decent but quickly becomes so boring and annoying. It picks up again with Electricity but just falls again after

Blues rock that bikers enjoy, then again, I also find it enjoyable, maybe I should buy a bike 🤔

I don’t doubt that Nina is great and all, but she just doesn’t do it for me

Three songs in, still waiting for it to pick up, so far it just feels like an intro

Not a fan of his really, that being said, there are a couple of decent songs on this album

There is no world where you can convince me this album needs to be on this list

Very dull

It is, indeed, funky

Loud, fun, just overall a good fucking album

Your typical 70s english punk band

Fun album, just feels drawn out

Decent electronic music, but not something I’ll go back to

What the hell is that intro

Nah bro

Did not expect this synthpop/new wave album to be as enjoyable as it is. Give it a chance if you’re a fan of the genre

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

So this is what hipsters like to listen to

I’ll say it again, I don’t think lives should be on here, they slightly ruin the experience for me

Lenny’s got one good song and it’s not on this album

He has a good voice but this just isn’t my type of music

I am not a fan of country music but Johnny is an exception, such a great voice

Political rap that did not age well

Might actually be his best album

Did not expect to see funky hip-hop on this list

Not the good kind of grunge

I usually find Reggae boring and this isn’t really an exception, I bumped it up to a 3 thanks to So Much Things to Say and The Heathen, some standout songs

Not a fan of Soul music, so me enjoying this album genuinely took me by surprise

This album's pretty cool – it's got some good vocals and a couple of songs that stand out. It's not mind-blowing or anything, but definitely better than some stuff on this list

Biggie was, without a doubt, incredibly skillful as an artist, that being said, this is the type of album where you take out the standout songs and put them in your own playlist and ignore the rest

While not in the conversation for “best metallica album”, this is still a very good album with quite a few iconic songs.

Loud just for the sake of being loud

Can’t handle the bloody roots :(

This album delivers engaging, lengthy tracks in a laid-back style, avoiding monotony. It's an immersive, pleasant listen, that I would come back to in the future.

The singing is pretty annoying and all the songs just blend into one boring sound. It's really hard to tell them apart or get into it.

Something you’d hear while being on hold

Did I just listen to a hotel’s lobby music?

Although I am a fan of the dust brothers, I have to say this album did not age particularly good and it relies heavily on songs like Block Rockin’ Beats and Setting Sun to make it an above average listen

Some decent songs here and there but nothing worth coming back to unfortunately

This album is really cool if you’re into their raw, grunge vibe. It's all stripped back, letting you really feel the music. I usually prefer studio stuff, so it loses a point for being live, but I completely understand why it has to be this way.

Unsure why it’s on this list, just another mediocre album really

Decent music, but the lyrics are plain awful

Was not sure what to expect going in, and still not sure what I got coming out of it

I know everyone likes Miles Davis but man I just couldn’t go through with it, I’m giving it a 2 as opposed to 1 because there is something there, it just fails to reach me

Doesn’t feel that interesting tbh, just some meh hip-hop that was considered revolutionary when it came out because of the message it was trying to get across

More psychedelic than rock

We really need to be able to go .5 on the ratings, because this is a perfect 2.5, just bang on average

Put this album on in the background, turn the volume down a bit, and chill with your favorite drink and some friends. It's perfect for hanging out and chatting.

Wow this is kinda bad

This one completely misses me, it’s not bad, but why is it considered a top hip-hop album?

Unfortunately, Garbage, for me, equals that one rain song. They do have solid stuff besides that, which is why I’m bumping it up to a 3, it’s just not really for me

I’m happy Duran is on this list, some very enjoyable 80s new wave music.

I rate Bowie very highly but this album being labeled as a perfect 5/5 just doesn’t make sense, you’re diminishing his other, better albums this way in my opinion. That being said, Lazarus is a really, really good song.

I throw on Radiohead every once in a while because it’s a band I enjoy, but, to be completely honest, this is not an album that I usually put on

Very boring and slow

There’s something here, don’t know exactly what, but definitely something, maybe I need to come back to it later?

5 seconds was enough for me to make up my mind about it, but I decided to give it another 20 seconds, that being said, can I have my 20 seconds back now?

I guess my problem with Simon & Garfunkel in general is that I find their music very passive and soft, just straight up boring I guess. All of this is very subjective of course.

Yet another forgettable album that I will not be coming back to

Can’t help but think that if this album were from any other album then it wouldn’t be on this list

Never thought I’d find an album too “progressive”, but hey, if you are a fan of the genre, you’re going to love this album.

Nothing speaks more 80s than this upbeat, funky album. It’s actually fair to say that this is typical 80s funky soul, luckily, I enjoy typical 80s funky music

Forgettable, bland music, like a lot of the albums on this list now that I think about it

Very indicative of who the Pixies are - fun, upbeat, indie rock

It’s honestly just boring country rock, although, title song is so good it drags it up to a 3

Coming into this I was sure it was getting a perfect score but listening to it again, I realize just how good the title song is, makes the whole album feel slightly better than it actually is. Still a banging album though.

Shades of early Gorillaz, not that it’s a bad thing

Great album to enjoy while roaming around the Mojave Wasteland

Not great but not too horrible either, had a few tunes I enjoyed, the rest is pretty forgettable

Too “shoegaze” for my liking

Very indicative of what kind of music was popular back then, which is not a bad thing.

Torn between a 2 and a 3 as there is something there, just can’t put my finger on it

Really fun old-school album

Probably one of their more forgettable albums, but it’s Queen so you still get an above average listening experience

Flashbacks of fifa 14

Couldn’t get into it

Decent album but The Police just feels so overrated that you go into it with higher expectations.

For someone who enjoys indie rock, this album completely misses me, I was hoping to at least get one good track but no such luck

I’ve always had a soft spot for Röyksopp, probably because I listened to a lot of electronic music back in high-school. This album brings a wave of nostalgia, but even setting that aside, it’s a thoroughly enjoyable dance record that’s definitely worth your time.

Punk indeed

Not a big fan of Pixies but the influence they had on later bands (Radiohead, Nirvana) that I’m a fan of cannot be ignored

Starts pretty decent but quickly falls short of what you thought it would deliver

Some decent, early 90s poprock? britrock? Not exactly sure where it falls tbh

Musically not that bad of an album, but it just doesn’t interest me

This album perfectly captures the tense and suffocating vibe that matches the band’s experiences. The music, with its odd time signatures, heavy reverb guitar, and layered vocals, creates a relentless and intense atmosphere. Stand out song is obviously Rooster but don’t sleep on Would and Angry Chair

Even for electronic music this feels too repetitive

First time I hear about Missy, can’t say I missed too much

Incredibly generic, boring pop. Easily skippable

80s brit pop that sounds the same as any other 80s brit pop

The vocals are too “shrieky” for my taste

It’s a solid album, just feels too drawn out at times

Music, like art in general, is of course subjective, and people will have different opinions when it comes to it. That being said, people trashing this album know fuck all about music

It did not start well and was considering dropping it, but it actually grows on you the more you listen to it. Stand out songs are obviously Take Me Out and This Fire

Might be good but man that voice is annoying

Very representative of indie rock in the 2000, some decent tracks here and there bump it up to a 3

At this point I shouldn’t be surprised that there are so many of their albums on this list. The first track on this album really gives an indication of what’s waiting for you, that being said, can’t believe how some people try to argue that it’s some genius lyrics that others fail to understand, I guess I can’t just comprehend the complexity of “beep beep”

Bland music

Typical 90s noise-rock music

Did I just listen to rock-piano?

I don’t particularly like their experimental album, still some a good album though

Decent music and vocals just not my vibe

I really thought walking into this that it would be some AC/DC wannabe band but they’re actually pretty good even if somewhat similar. There’s also a pinch of glam-rock here that I did not expect to enjoy

Never heard of them so didn’t expect too much, maybe that’s why I thought it was actually a pretty good album?

I mean, it’s the Strokes, what else can I say? If you’re a fan of indie rock then it’s hard to make a case for why this album shouldn’t be at least a 4/5

Most generic 90s pop-rock ever

Feel free to skip this, you’re not missing out on much

Come back to the Bee Gees later, they’re still finding their groove in 71

Underwhelming

Never heard of them before this, not exactly sure how I feel about this album to be completely honest, but one thing’s for sure, it definitely packs a punch

From start to finish, it’s amazing, with a heavy, gritty sound that no one else can copy. The guitar riffs are killer, the drums are pounding, and Eddie’s vocals are incredible. Even after all these years, this album still rocks just as hard. Easy 5/5

**Review:** This album starts strong but quickly becomes underwhelming and generic. Despite a few highlights, it lacks originality and feels forgettable. Not as good as some of their other stuff.

What a big pile of … nothing

This album mixes punk energy with modern twists, but it didn’t quite click for me. Tracks like “Neon Nights” have a spark, yet the experimental pieces felt off. This type of music just isn’t up my alley

This album kicks ass on paper, but it just didn't click for me this time. Carlos shreds, the latin grooves are tight, but I wasn't feeling it. Maybe I needed a few drinks beforehand? It's a classic for a reason, I guess. I'll give it another shot when I'm in the right headspace.

Generic country/folk music from the 60s-70s that blends in with other albums of its era

I swear all country/folk music from this time period sounds the same

Is this the same song on repeat 10 times? Not 11 because the last song actually sounds different than the rest

I wish I liked this more, I really do, but there’s just no variety here. As good as the first song is, you can’t just have more of the same for the rest of the album.

They’re not bad per se, just incredibly dull

This sounds like your generic hip hop album from the 90s, I was hoping for at least one stand-out song from this 18 track album but there were none

My only problem with this album is that it feels as though it’s all over the place, mostly because it’s trying too much. That being said, it does deserve a place on this list and it’s influence cannot on later, more “iconic” bands cannot be disputed

Feels like yet another indie album from the 2000s

Just loud noises for the sake of being loud

Generic britpop from the 90s

The music might seem repetitive, almost blending together, but I actually found that to be part of its charm. Sinatra’s smooth vocals and the laid-back melodies create a surprisingly relaxing vibe, perfect for unwinding.

This album is pretty obnoxious, and I don’t mean it in a good way, only reason it’s not a 1 is because there’s something there right at the beginning, something resembling actual decent music, but it just falls off so quickly you’re left disappointed

I was never much of a metal fun, and by much I mean I never enjoy listening to this genre, but soad manage to somehow stand out and are one of the bands I’m willing to make an exception for

While not necessarily bad, it does feel very repetitive, like one long song repetitive. I didn’t hate it, found it enjoyable actually, I just doubt that it’s something I’ll be returning to on purpose

Some raw, post punk music here reminiscent of Joy Division, all in all not too shabby

I feel like this is a band I should like more but unfortunately it’s yet another band that has a few good songs and that’s about it

Overrated album from an overrated artist

“Oh noes, this album is filled of misogyny and violence, how can anyone like this” If this is your criteria for rating music, I’m afraid of what kind of music we’d have if it were up to you. That being said, lyrics are doing the heavy lifting here, everything else is kind of meh by todays standards, a 3.5/5 is probably more accurate

Fuck all the haters

Damn this was rough. Tried to vibe with the raw energy, but it just hurt my ears. Harvey's voice? More screechy than edgy. The bare-bones sound felt half-baked. Hard pass for me

I actually like the Grateful Dead but this isn’t what I would recommend to someone listening for the first time

I rated their previous album (youth and young manhood) a 2 and called it mediocre and this is actually slightly better so it should be a 2.5, but we don’t have .5 here so I need to decide if it gets bumped up to a 3 🤔

Feel free to tell me how I know nothing about music, but I thought this album was incredibly boring. The backing tracks feel uninspiring, and the songwriting is nothing special. Only good thing about this album are her very good vocals.

This is not my type of music, I find it too stale, that being said, Neil still finds a way to elevate this stale music, not a lot as to make me want to come back to it, but just enough to make it an above average listening experience

Hard pass

Fine, I’ll say it, this is too raw and “punk” for me

This album is basically two parts, and it starts out pretty good, with a solid 3, focusing more on psychedelic rock if you will, and in the second part it descends to mediocre country music which is a 1 for me. With all of that said, the final score makes perfect sense if you ask me.

This is quintessential 90s R&B, sure to delight fans of the genre. The smooth vocals and soulful melodies are undeniably skillful. That being said, it's not something you’d usually find in my playlist.

This album caught me by surprise as I’m not much of a Bob Dylan fan, so I was expecting to listen to yet another overrated album, but no, this was actually an enjoyable 50 mins that is definitely worthy of this list

I’m sorry but I just don’t get what all the hype is about

The Cure really delivered with this album, one might even make the argument that it’s their best one. It’s a slow burn, but in a good way, it’s also got this vibe to it that is difficult to put into words, but it makes the album stand out. Wasn’t expecting to like it this much, solid 4/5

Yet another forgettable album

Just a worse version of The Smiths

Funky

Another britrock band with a good album but no standout tracks. You might even think you’re listening to the beatles if you’re not paying attention

Maybe I should give Wilco more of a chance? I expected mediocrity but actually got a “good but not great” album

I mean it’s Green Day, for good or bad, they’re so iconic that you immediately know what to expect, the rest is up to you to decide how much you enjoy them

I was promised thrills and there were none, not cool

Hard pass

Bland and repetitive, I see no reason to come back to them

First time I hear about these guys, and this is supposedly goth music? I always thought goth music is supposed to be some depressing stuff but this is actually pretty fun

Mind you even if the genre says it’s jazz, it’s actually different from your traditional jazz that you’d expect, it’s some kind of weird experimental jazz that I did not vibe with at all

Ok-ish, dull music that sounds very similar to other bands

The concept of hip hop mixed with world is very interesting, too bad the execution is lacking

I just realized that I only listen to Bob Dylan when I’m interested in a certain song, it’s never “I just feel like listening to some Bob Dylan so I’ll put something of his on shuffle” It’s basically a quick in-and-out

I’m not that big of a Smiths fan but you can’t in all honesty say that this is shit. This might be my favorite album from them and I’ll probably come back to it in the future, which is more than I can say about some other albums on this list

So happy to see this album on the list and for Michael to get the props he deserves

Starts strong but falls off quickly, it’s still good though

Not as bad as I expected it to be, then again, I was expecting it to be absolutely abysmal

Not my favorite Radiohead album but it’s still up there, I’d probably give it a 4.5 if I could, but deciding between a 4 and 5, it has to be a 5

I am not a fan of Madonna but I certainly get why this albums is on the list, it’s iconic, good production, her voice “fits” the overall tone of the album. If I were to complain about something it’s probably the length, 1h6m feels too much

Easily forgettable

This is the type of album I stick around on this website for

This is objectively good music, it’s just not something I particularly care about

This is too noisy and weird even for me

You have maybe 2 good songs doing all the heavy lifting and hoping it’s enough to call this a good album, it’s not

Live albums never work for me and I have yet to find the exception to the rule

Experimental indie pop that left me unsure if I actually enjoyed it or not, 2.5/5

Not something that will blow you away, might even call it boring at times, but a solid album all around

Did not expect to enjoy this one, pleasantly surprised

No business being on this list

A bit repetitive but pretty decent overall

Did not expect to enjoy it this much

I see a lot of people hating on this, which is fine, not everyone can limp with the bizkit
