Fear and Whiskey by Mekons

Kinda sounded like Fred Armisen doing an 80s uk punk band skit

Let It Be by The Replacements

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Oct 07 2022

It was fine, would give 2.5 but closer to a two

Oct 11 2022

I would say closer to a 4 than a 3, but somewhere in there, I would say that I was more impressed with the back half than anything, I felt like they experimented a little more after sweet dreams. Can't argue with a hit like that though, great track.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Oct 12 2022

Solid flows, a lot of good beats, kinda boring at times though. No song on here comes close to shook ones, and the album is no illmatic, so not sure I would say takeover really hits home.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Oct 13 2022

Cool album, would give it a 3.5ish I think. I am sure it was groundbreaking in 1974

Blur by Blur
Oct 17 2022
1989 by Taylor Swift
Oct 24 2022

Shake it off is a good song. Everything else felt boring. My personal opinion but compared to her modern female pop star peers, she is kinda the lowest common denominator.

White Light by Gene Clark
Oct 26 2022

Liked the first couple songs, dried up though towards the end.

Ctrl by SZA
Oct 27 2022
Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Oct 28 2022

Holy cow so many Spotify streams! I had no idea how wildly popular this album was. Fun listen.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Oct 31 2022

Between a 3 and a 4, closer to a 4 imo.

Pump by Aerosmith
Nov 01 2022

Aerosmith? More like Aero whiff. Not my favorite. Seeing a trend where a lot of these albums have like one big song on it that outshine the rest of the album, which is not necessarily what I think of when I think of the best albums of all time. I guess 1001 is a lot of albums so I guess some of them are just carried by a song or two.

Mask by Bauhaus
Nov 11 2022
Woodface by Crowded House
Nov 14 2022

Somewhere between a 3-4 but I think a little closer to a 3

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 15 2022

I am sure this album was ground breaking in 57, still holds up.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Nov 17 2022

In between a 3 and a 4 for me I think a little closer to a 4 though

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Nov 21 2022

I would go like 2.4. so if this arcade fire album is on here, how many others will there be?

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 22 2022
Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 29 2022

3.7 I think it's awesome that Neil is protesting Spotify but YouTube just is not the same

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Dec 01 2022

Solid album 3.45

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Dec 06 2022

Songs to play in between periods at a youth hockey game

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Dec 12 2022

Really glad rappers stopped putting skits in their albums. That being said great album, really shows BIGs potential, who knows where he could have gone. 4.6

Yeezus by Kanye West
Dec 30 2022

This album changed the game. That being said, idk if I can really listen to Kanye anymore, at least at the moment. Also we have had 4 Kanye albums and at the same time rap seems to be underrepresented....

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jan 04 2023

Is the band related to the magazine?

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Jan 05 2023

Jane says, the back end of the album is better than the front half

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jan 11 2023

Could not get through this one

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jan 18 2023

Solid! 3.5

Dare! by The Human League
Jan 19 2023

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jan 25 2023

Feb 02 2023

This album was... Bittersweet. Maybe I am missing something but urban hymns is their big record right? 2.7

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Feb 03 2023

Album was okay, but the random song that Spotify put on after it was fire

Boston by Boston
Feb 06 2023

Some might argue that all their songs are the same. My question is if that song rocks is that a problem? 3.75.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Feb 10 2023

I bet whoever made this list freakin loves oasis

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Feb 15 2023

Some decent flows, and beats, got a little repetitive though and the gynecologist theme is corny. I feel like there's a lot out there that does this sound better

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Feb 16 2023

Everything a punk rock album should be.

90 by 808 State
Feb 17 2023

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Feb 21 2023

Apr 24 2023

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 04 2023

Crap accidentally left my review for this one on bryter layter, that's what I get for falling behind:(

May 19 2023

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Oct 10 2023

Kid A by Radiohead
Mar 18 2024

The radio head album for kids who think they like music, or whatever Taylord famously said to that waiter

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jun 24 2024

The guitar is meh but man can this Morrissey sing! Incredible voice, I can't see this guy ever having a bad idea. Excited for what he does next.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Aug 15 2024

For me, on the lower end of the Elliot Smith totem pole
