Nirvana
5/5
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
4/5
great old time jazz that actually carries themes throughout most of the piece.
Nick Drake
3/5
not sure about this album art. I've heard Pink Moon many times but never realized that was what he was saying...
The Beach Boys
4/5
David Gray
4/5
Does anyone else in the group even use these?
Sigur Rós
3/5
Music almost as strange as the album art. Good for work on TTT.... :P
Ella Fitzgerald
3/5
Good voice, I enjoyed Fascinating Rhythm. Overall this album keeps reminding me of her far-to-often-replayed christmas albums though. Not quite what I wanted in September.
Death In Vegas
2/5
Brian Eno
3/5
I like the beats under this but I could do without many of the vocals.
"A Secret Life" and "Come with Us" could make good muzak for a budget haunted house.
"New feet" might be the strangest song on the album.
Talk Talk

Very slow, almost all vocals. Not sure I can pay enough attention to keep track of the lyrics.
Bob Dylan
3/5
Abdullah Ibrahim
3/5
Enjoy the uptempo pace of Mandela.
Not so much enjoying Sameeda, a bit to much of "true jazz" style and I am so lost as to where this melody is going.
PJ Harvey
2/5
This sounds more like noise than anything else to me.
The Smiths

Simon & Garfunkel
2/5
Kind of an eclectic album. I feel like I would have enjoyed it better if I was sitting at home in the 80's playing it on a record player. But at work it was hard to follow and enjoy
Faust
2/5
New Order
4/5
I liked a lot of the vibes going with this album
Dizzee Rascal
1/5
I thought it was kind of bland and couldn't really focus on it.
Dusty Springfield
3/5
Album was fine. Seemed kind of generic in some places, but there were a few that I enjoyed.
Miles Davis
3/5
I liked a lot of the upbeat happier songs. Some of the slow stuff was hard for me to enjoy at work.
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
4/5
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
1/5
not a big fan of the first few. The lyrics do rhyme and there is a story line through at least some of the songs.
"Where the wild roses grow" and "Curse of Millhaven" are better. The latter being more upbeat.
Roxy Music

Meh? I barely remember listening to this album

I somehow always forget how strange the Talking Heads can be

Meh. Started alright and then seemed to descend into random noise.
Elvis Presley
3/5
Bob Dylan
4/5
Kacey Musgraves
3/5
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Upbeat, easy to listen too. Kind of ended up in the background. Not enough cowbell for a group called the "Pet Shop Boys" though.
Beatles
4/5
Eagles
4/5
The Smashing Pumpkins
2/5
Yikes, 2 full hours. It contains a few good tunes, but there are a lot that seem more like the lead singer needs to stop smoking before he loses his voice.
Randy Newman

Leonard Cohen
3/5
Def Leppard
4/5
John Prine

Ute Lemper

The Band
4/5
The Who

started out really strong. Actually don't mind the fact that it is live, harder to tell than many "live" albums.

I still don't get it...

Franz Ferdinand

The Band
3/5
The Human League
3/5
Enjoyed the energy of some of the songs. But lots of synth isn't my favorite.
Robbie Williams
2/5
The Sonics
3/5
Enjoy the upbeat vibes
The Go-Go's
3/5
Debating between a 3 or 4. Enjoy the beats but it tends to fade into the background
Billy Joel
4/5
Common

Kind of sleepy for work listening
Arcade Fire

Sure it's got flow and rhythm, but still, Why?
Peter Frampton
3/5
Minutemen
2/5
Not a fan of this album.
Drive-By Truckers
2/5
Meh, rock? I guess some of them. To me this is country with a bit of pep and a few less dogs dying. Hard to concentrate on the entire thing.
Ryan Adams
2/5
slow and sad. Ya, not worth my time to finish this.
The Zombies
3/5
I enjoyed this album. A refreshing difference with instrumentals compared to a lot of the recent vocal heavy tracks.
Elton John
4/5
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
Lou Reed
3/5
A few strange songs and often sad. But the lyrics are well written
The Mamas & The Papas
3/5
Music is much better than the album art.
Beatles
5/5
I always forget how long this album is. And how strange some of these songs get.
George Jones
3/5
Thundercat
3/5
Ok, strange. Not unpleasant to listen to, but the album art provides a good first impression.
Simon & Garfunkel

Fiona Apple
1/5
Not a big fan of this. But the lyrics are kind of interesting to listen to.
The Jam
2/5
Blue Cheer
2/5
Is this anything other than someone yelling over very generic guitar riffs?
Oh wait, it included a long drum solo. Now I'm definitely totally impressed.
Thelonious Monk
3/5
The Police
2/5
Radiohead
1/5
Radiohead is just not my vibe. I feel like I only ever hear about 1 or 2 of their songs and whenever I try another song, I just loose interest immediately. I can get behind the jazzy bit in "Life In a Glasshouse" because it's not just a solo whinefest.
Christina Aguilera
3/5
KISS
3/5
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
2/5
Started promising, but now I realize why I haven't heard their version of No satisfaction....
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Green Day
4/5
I still enjoy this album, although not to quite the same extent as when it first came out.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
I like Neil Young's work, but this wasn't my favorite of his albums
Tom Tom Club
4/5
I am very amused but also confused. This sounds like something Ian would listen too. Overall it was fun background music, but I don't think I would play it with anyone around.
Prince
2/5
Shack
2/5
Justice
3/5
Big Brother & The Holding Company
3/5
I enjoy the high energy.
Air
3/5
I enjoyed the music but that last summary song is dark. Probably would help if I watched the movie.
Sonic Youth
1/5
This is just noise with some smokers rasping over it.
Q-Tip
2/5
Janelle Monáe
4/5
Quite a trip but overall a lot of fun.
Miles Davis
3/5
Smooth jazz. But hard to pay attention for 20 minute songs.
The 13th Floor Elevators
2/5
Ehh, not for me
Miles Davis
3/5
The Go-Betweens
2/5

meh.
Donald Fagen

The Flying Burrito Brothers
2/5
The Slits
1/5
So far I like the cover art more than the music...
Lenny Kravitz
2/5
R.E.M.
3/5
I guess for influential, this is an influential album because it lead to the next one. But considering how successful "Out of Time" was, I'm surprised this one is selected.
Johnny Cash
4/5
Butthole Surfers
1/5
Why is this on here?
Boston
5/5
Frank Sinatra
2/5
He sings well, but it is hard to listen to this much dramatic music.
Sister Sledge
3/5
Electric Light Orchestra
4/5
Crosby, Stills & Nash
3/5
Enjoyed a few of the songs, most of them were just good background music. Surprised that I haven't heard the entire album before.
Goldie
2/5
with enough green stuff, maybe. At work, probably best to avoid for TP employees.
Cocteau Twins
3/5
Decent easy listening, but not terribly memorable
De La Soul
3/5
Lynyrd Skynyrd
3/5
The Cure
4/5
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
I like listening to these as a complete album so I can hear the different styles and methods they use.
Nirvana
3/5
A bit abrasive for me
3/5
Muddy Waters
3/5
D'Angelo
2/5
4/5
Leonard Cohen
3/5
Cohen sings well and puts a lot of complex metaphors in his songs; therefore, I can't follow what I'm listening to.
Buffalo Springfield
3/5
Incredible Bongo Band
4/5
I love how polarizing the reviews are

Living Colour
3/5
1/5
nah, I don't get this one. Maybe if I listened more carefully I could enjoy the themes, but right now, this isn't worth finishing.
Queen
5/5
Black Sabbath
5/5
Sepultura
1/5
I can't finish this.
Primal Scream
3/5
2/5
Meh, it was relaxing, I could see listening to it in my grandparnets house while sipping tea and it would be better than the alternative. But it's kind of a downer.
JAY Z
2/5
decent for rap
Radiohead
2/5
"Where'd you park the car? Where'd youuuuu paaaarkkk the caaaaaar...."
I don't know, why are you asking me?? Gahh!
