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

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

Nah

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
