Run-D.M.C.
3/5
This is a landmark album in hip hop with a lot of firsts for the genre. At times the album feels dated because of how far the genre has progressed since the release of this album.

This starts with Beautiful Day and then proceeds to be one of the most boring albums ever made.

Fleetwood Mac
5/5
This is honestly one of the best albums ever written. An all time great.
Miles Davis
5/5
While I like this album because Miles Davis is a GOAT, it is a compilation album and lacks the unity of a complete, focused album. All the songs are really good, but it just feels as if it is missing that album feel.
Run-D.M.C.
3/5
This is a landmark album in hip hop with a lot of firsts for the genre. At times the album feels dated because of how far the genre has progressed since the release of this album.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Amazing album from one of the best. Really makes you feel like you are off in the heat of the islands even though the cool fall weather is starting to set in now.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
I have never listened to this album before, but I really enjoyed the indie electronic sound to it. The vocals were very enjoyable and had a 90s punk vibe similar to Gwen Stefani in No Doubt.
Joni Mitchell
5/5
I do not love Joni Mitchell, but this album is great. Excellent writing and vocal performance. The instrumentals are immaculate. The last song Twisted really stood out to me as it is essentially a vocal jazz performance.
Marvin Gaye
3/5
This has got to be the most mid Marvin Gaye album. While it is smooth, every song is stylistically identical which made it pretty boring to me.
Butthole Surfers
1/5
Well this is a weird album. The Butthole Surfers experiment with a lot of different sounds here. None of which are very appealing to me. The poor dog in the album cover.
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
4/5
Very interesting and progressive political commentary. Talks a lot about being gay which is often frowned upon in the hip hop community.
Tori Amos
4/5
I really like the piano and orchestral arrangements in this album. Tori Amos also has a very pretty voice.
David Bowie
4/5
Love the piano parts in this album. The song writing is pretty strong as well, but I am not the biggest fan of Bowie's whiny voice at some points.
Bad Company
3/5
The dads everywhere are going to love this one!!! Pretty solid rock album, I think all of the songs are pretty good.
Eagles
3/5
Lot of long and slow ballads. Some all time classics on here, but as an album it felt kind of boring to me.
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
4/5
Salsa music is fun and something I do not really listen to.
Spiritualized
3/5
This album is both interesting and unremarkable at the same time.
Crowded House
3/5
This is sounds like the Australian wannabe Beatles.
Elton John
4/5
Tiny Dancer is an all time great banger. The rest of the album is also very strong even though I am not as familiar with the rest of the songs.
Nine Inch Nails
5/5
Very impressive album. I love the synth sounds in here and the electronic sounding drums. I have never listened to this album before, but I certainly see why this is considered one of the best albums from the 90s.
Wilco
3/5
Nice country rock album. It is very long though and begins to get stale about halfway through.
Dizzee Rascal
2/5
Maybe I just don't like UK hip/hop that much, but this album is pretty abrasive to me. The production is indeed "grimy" and the lyrics are tough for me as an American to understand. Between the distracting beats and difficult-to-understand lyrics it was tough for me to get anything out of this.
Derek & The Dominos
3/5
Really love the album cover. The songs are pretty good too. Eric Clapton's best work IMO.
David Bowie
3/5
I liked the weird piano parts on this album a lot.
Roxy Music
3/5
Lead singer's voice is atrocious, I hate it. Instrumentals are cool though.
Rush
3/5
Similar to yesterday, this album has amazing instrumentals. Nearly impeccable in my opinion. The lead singer's voice is screechy and sounds like complete shit.
Lucinda Williams
4/5
I really like Folk music and Americana so this album is right up my alley. Great songwriting and imagery of life in America.
The Kinks
5/5
I had never heard this album before, but it is really, really good. Strong instrumentals and harmonies, catchy toons, excellent lyrics. I was really impressed.
The Kinks
3/5
not as good as the kinks album friday. it's alright i think. less unique of an album.
Scott Walker
4/5
Jackie is kind of a banger. Scott Walker has a really pleasing voice. The song lyrics seem very risque for this time period.
Oasis
3/5
Some nice British 90s rock. Honestly pretty good if you forget they are the band that made wonderwall.
Saint Etienne
3/5
Pretty interesting house/pop album. I could feel the vibes.
Gorillaz
5/5
Very unique album blending rock, hip/hop, electronic, and country sounds.
Run-D.M.C.
3/5
This has some true hip hop classics on it, but really feels dated.
3/5
Interesting punk album that incorporates a lot of different genres in it.
Alanis Morissette
3/5
Her voice is really terrible at points and really good at others. Very odd inconsistency for what is consider one of the best albums of all time. There are a lot of classic 90s bangers on here though.
The Sugarcubes
3/5
Pretty interesting album. Bjork really carries the album here. I do think that the mix is pretty bad at times, with the vocals being too quiet to understand compared to the instruments.
Buffalo Springfield
5/5
Very pretty album. Lyrically it is strong, musically it is strong. Variation between more electric songs and more folk songs. Excellent work.
Willie Nelson
5/5
Insanely beautiful vocals. Such calming delivery.
Frank Ocean
5/5
One of my all time favorite albums and a true modern classic.
The Beach Boys
5/5
Beautiful harmonies in timeless pop music. Great stuff from the Beach Boys as always.
Steely Dan
5/5
One of my favorite classic rock albums. The instrumentals are so crispy here. Very impressive.
Electric Light Orchestra
2/5
Mr. Blue Sky is the big hit on here. The album has some interesting effects, but it feels long and drags a bit.
Frank Sinatra
3/5
Frank Sinatra is always good. But there is only so much of the same sounding music I think you can have in one record before it gets boring.
Jeff Beck
2/5
Impressive guitar work, but jeff beck's voice doesn't really do it for me.
The Byrds
4/5
Really solid country album. Love the slide guitar on here. As well as the saloon piano.
Songhoy Blues
3/5
Pretty cool instrumentally. Wish I could understand any of the words though.
The Velvet Underground
4/5
Interesting album. I really liked the orchestra parts. Oh also I want to do heroin now.
Madonna
4/5
Very solid pop album with a lot of gospel music influences.
Teenage Fanclub
3/5
It is a pretty solid rock album, but I feel like there is nothing unique about it. Felt a little generic and boring to me.
This starts with Beautiful Day and then proceeds to be one of the most boring albums ever made.
Arcade Fire
5/5
A landmark album for the indie rock genre in the 2000s. Arcade Fire's best work.
Aerosmith
3/5
This an alright rock album that has some pretty big hits on it.
Paul Weller
3/5
I liked this more than I would have thought, but it is very long. I liked a majority of the songwriting and guitar work.
Portishead
4/5
Pretty great album for a rainy day. Pretty unique for its time.
Nick Drake
4/5
Very smooth album. I really enjoyed it.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
It must be tough when the other Elvis in music is so much better.
The Rolling Stones
5/5
As someone who is a Rolling Stones hater, I was pleasantly surprised by this album. It covers rock, folk, and country rock.
Muddy Waters
4/5
Strong blues album. I enjoyed it.
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
Decent rock album, pretty diverse sounds and instrumentation.
Count Basie & His Orchestra
5/5
Really great big jazz album. Really enjoyed this one, it was a lot of fun. Album art is fun too.
Basement Jaxx
3/5
Some of these songs are very weird and some of them are very fun. This could be a very cool electronic album if it was a bit more consistent.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
5/5
I really like the guitar work here and the lead vocals started to grow on me. Pretty fun album.
The Mars Volta
2/5
A lot of interesting sounds going on, but not for me.
Ride
3/5
Pretty cool instrumentals and album cover. Do not love the vocals though.
Miles Davis
5/5
A true Jazz classic.
Frank Sinatra
3/5
Not bad. But nothing really stood out.
Various Artists
4/5
Tis the season and this has some all time great holiday hits.
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Undoubtedly a great album. I think it is a little too long though.
The Boo Radleys
3/5
There were a lot of interesting instrumentals in here, but the album felt kind of jumbled.
Elliott Smith
5/5
One of the greatest folk albums of all time in my opinion. Elliott Smith is hauntingly beautiful here.
Genesis
2/5
Pretty boring album, not a big fan.
Janis Joplin
4/5
Joplin's unique voice really shines out. She sounds great despite the vocal imperfections.
Van Halen
2/5
The guitar work was very good, but this is just not really my type of music.
Lorde
5/5
Really great pop album that I did not like much upon its initial release.
Fugazi
2/5
Not for me, honestly thought it was pretty boring which is quite something for a punk album.
Motörhead
1/5
The lead singer has a bad voice. Kind of just bland hard rock to me. This is definitely not my type of music. It is also almost two hours long. No thank you.
U2
2/5
This is lame, boring, and cringe. The album cover is garbage too.
Little Simz
4/5
The production is cool and I liked this album more than I remembered.
Deep Purple
3/5
The guitar and organ are quite cool. The vocals are quite uncool.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Pretty great rock album.
Orbital
5/5
This shit slaps. I loved it. I think it may because I listened to it while working, but this is perfect background working music.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
5/5
A lot of some of the greatest classic classic rock songs of all time.
Carpenters
4/5
Very smooth harmonies in here. Pretty enjoyable album.
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
"Being Boring" is a great way to describe this album.
The Jam
2/5
This is super British and super okay.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Pretty solid album, a few of the songs are a bit weaker. -1 star for having to listen to it on youtube
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Very pretty vocals on the album. The last song was quite the statement though.
Fatboy Slim
5/5
I really enjoyed this. Some cool DJ mixes in here.
Beatles
5/5
Amazing album, no real flaws in my opinion.
Nirvana
4/5
Kurt Cobain's writing is pretty great here. As is the harsh production sound.
Sarah Vaughan
5/5
Beautiful live album. You really feel like you are in the club listening to it.
Lou Reed
4/5
Really strong songwriting in my opinion. I really enjoy the arrangements of the songs as well.
John Martyn
2/5
Do not really like much of the vocals here, but did enjoy bits of the instrumentals.
Megadeth
3/5
I really like the album cover here much more than the music. Some of the guitar work is really cool, but the vocals are absolutely awful. Very high energy though.
Robbie Williams
2/5
Very British, very 90s, very boring.
Iggy Pop
2/5
Pretty interesting instrumentals and production. Iggy Pop's voice is really terrible and I hate it.
Janelle Monáe
4/5
Fun electro/pop/funk album. Pretty cool concept of the archandroid too.
Fiona Apple
4/5
I have never really been a Fiona Apple fan, but this is the first album that really clicked for me and I get the hype.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
1/5
Ghosteen is incredibly boring. Yes the lyrics are powerful, but the music and delivery of the lyrics are just very stale and boring. It does not really feel like this builds anywhere musically.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
4/5
I really enjoyed the guitarwork and vocals on this album. Both were excellent.
Morrissey
3/5
Miserable Morrissey sounds pretty good here. Pleasantly surprised by this.
5/5
One of the best albums ever.
Beatles
5/5
Banger album.
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
A bit more experimental than other Fleetwood Mac albums. It is very long though and I think there is a good amount of filler in here.
Stephen Stills
4/5
Pretty diverse album with blues and bluegrass songs. I really fuck with Fallen Eagle.
5/5
I really enjoyed this. It's kind of like atmospheric world jazz or something. Pretty smooth.
Metallica
2/5
The guitar work is cool, but I just do not love metal music. Maybe it's because I listened to it at 8am on a work day, but who knows.
Tom Waits
1/5
Fucking awful voice. Holy shit I do not think I have heard a worse voice.
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Really funky and cool sound.
Jerry Lee Lewis
3/5
Goodness gracious great balls of fire! Honestly pretty fun live album. Sounds like a fun concert. Too bad he married his 13 year old cousin.
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
Not a bad country rock type album. Some gospel influences as well. It is very long and begins to drag as all of the songs are very similar.
AC/DC
2/5
I feel like this album would be great if you are like 10 beers deep at a football game, but I do not really know why you would listen to it in any other situation.
Santana
4/5
Pretty fun latin/jazz/rock album with some very notable hits. Cool album cover too.
The Band
4/5
Really enjoyable country rock album. I like the composition of the songs as well as the vocals.
Les Rythmes Digitales
3/5
Pretty fun electric disco pop album. I really feel like this predates a lot of modern pop music.
Ryan Adams
4/5
Very surprised about this one. This is an excellent alt country album. I think the lyricism is strong and I really like the sound of it. Really wish he were not a creep.
Miles Davis
5/5
This honestly might be the GOAT Jazz album.
Radiohead
3/5
I think the composition of the songs is very cool, but I do not particularly like the singer's voice.
Frank Zappa
4/5
The instrumentals are really amazing here. I love the guitar work and the electric fiddle in "The Gumbo Variations" is sweet. Zappa's voice sounds kind of scary sometimes, but he really does not sing enough for it to take away from the album.
Simply Red
3/5
Pretty diverse pop album. It does start to drag towards the end.
The Who
4/5
This is a very interesting full length rock opera. I feel as if it is too long, but it does share a cohesive story throughout and the transition between songs is very cool.
Arcade Fire
3/5
Pretty enjoyable rock album. I really like the composition of the songs. The organ, orchestral, and piano parts are very cool.
Supertramp
3/5
I do like the keyboard parts in this. Pretty cool album overall even though I am not a huge prog rock fan.
Fiona Apple
2/5
Right off the bat there is a weird dolphin sounding vocal part? I really think this sounds like it is written by someone who smells like shit for some reason. I do not enjoy the weird vocalizations and vocal rhythms at all.
Suicide
3/5
This album feels very ahead of it's time. Very unique blend of electric and rock. Definitely has parts where it is very weird though.
The Beach Boys
3/5
Very different Beach Boys album with fewer vocal harmonies and an overall darker sound.
Booker T. & The MG's
5/5
This album is banging. The jazz rock sound is awesome. I love the keyboard parts.
Prince
2/5
I honestly wish I liked Prince more, but it just is not for me. It's some funk music here, but I just do not like it much and I cannot really put my finger on it. Maybe it's his voice.
Weather Report
4/5
Randy Newman
3/5
Newman's voice is amazing and his composition of the songs is really great as well. Very impressive, but the album does feel a bit racist. Wikipedia says it is satirical though.
Billie Holiday
2/5
This is a Christmas music type beat. Very smooth, but boring. Made me feel sleepy.
Suede
1/5
Really hate the squeaky vocals here.
Iron Maiden
4/5
Very surprised here. I thought this was a very well done metal album. The vocals are solid, no excessive screaming or overly loud instrumentation. The guitar work is very strong.
Hookworms
3/5
Pretty cool rock album. Enjoyable to listen to, but a tad boring.
Jeff Buckley
2/5
Kind of boring and slow. Hallelujah is a banger though.
A Tribe Called Quest
5/5
One of the best hip hop albums ever.
CHIC
3/5
Fun and funky album. Starts to drag a bit in the back half, but otherwise pretty solid.
Grizzly Bear
2/5
This is some boring stuff.
Dion
4/5
Very long album, but very good. I really enjoyed the songwriting and the production in the album.
The National
2/5
This is really boring as hell. His voice is not bad though.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Much more country than I would have expected. Pretty enjoyable, but too long in my opinion.
Thin Lizzy
3/5
Great album if you're in the garage working on your car. But I'm not. Pretty solid guitar riffs though.
Echo And The Bunnymen
2/5
Not terrible, but very British and very 80s.
Adele
4/5
Pretty solid album, really took me back to walking in a department store in 2015.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
Arguably the greatest rock album of all time.
Cocteau Twins
4/5
Despite a lot of nonsensical lyrics, this is a very cool album and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Lauryn Hill
5/5
Absolute banger. One of the best albums from the 90s. Very creative and lyrically impressive.
Yes
3/5
I really like the acoustic interludes in some of the songs. Roundabout is definitely the highlight of the album.
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
3/5
Pretty solid blues album. Guitarwork is pretty strong.
Guns N' Roses
3/5
Some really big hits on here like Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child O' Mine. Outside of those it is pretty mid.
Jacques Brel
3/5
Great voice and pretty fun songs. It would be some good music to cook to or something. But I have not the faintest idea of what any of the lyrics mean.
Pink Floyd
4/5
The production on this song is really solid. All the instrumentals are really strong and the lyrics are very good as well. The transitions between tracks are very smooth which I always enjoy. The biggest downside is that the album is very long.
Pink Floyd
3/5
Pretty trippy. Kind of a stark contrast compared to The Wall which was the last album.
The B-52's
3/5
This is a very goofy album with some fun songs.
The Everly Brothers
4/5
The harmonies here are amazing. Pretty enjoyable love album. Certainly would be a good date night album.
Aphex Twin
5/5
This is a near perfect electronic album to me. Really great for music in the background while working.
The Stone Roses
3/5
I like the album cover. The album itself is pretty good and quite british sounding. The instrumentation is very good and the songs are catchy.
Dire Straits
4/5
Guitar work is really amazing in this album. Pretty solid.
Pere Ubu
2/5
Wow I really hate the vocals. Thrilller kind of sounds like a squeaky horror soundtrack.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Pretty solid album. Really liked High and Dry.
The Modern Lovers
2/5
Do not love the vocals, but the organ is pretty cool. Not a huge fan of this punk adjacent type of music.
The Stooges
3/5
I really like the guitar work and fuzziness of the guitar.
Miles Davis
4/5
The Mothers Of Invention
2/5
Solomon Burke
4/5
Amazing voice. Fun songs.
Ghostface Killah
4/5
Great production. I really enjoyed this, but some of the skits were not as good.
Jefferson Airplane
3/5
A few good songs, but a lot of this was just meh to me.
1/5
This is so boring and so long. The Bob Dylan inflection is strong here.
1/5
Yeah I don't know what that was supposed to be.
2/5
Yeah this ain't it for me. Very high energy, but not my type of thing.
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
Pretty cool album by a pretty cool band.
Ray Charles
4/5
Lovely love songs.
David Bowie
3/5
The composition of the songs is very cool. I liked the Saxophone parts a lot. But I do not like Bowie's voice much.
Sonic Youth
3/5
The guitar work is pretty cool.
Jane's Addiction
2/5
Some parts of this are good, but not really for me. I can definitely see some influences of this towards other bands I like though.
George Harrison
3/5
This is so long that you kind of get lost in it and nothing really stands out. Guitar is good though.
Sex Pistols
2/5
This is so painfully British. Can't understand a word of what is being said.
The Doors
4/5
Pretty Great album.
Bill Evans Trio
5/5
Slick jazz album. Really enjoyable.
Thelonious Monk
4/5
Very solid jazz album, but I liked the one from yesterday more.
Kings of Leon
3/5
Surprisingly better than I would have thought. Have never heard of this album before. Not a lot of variety in the songs though.
Duran Duran
3/5
Pretty enjoyable album. I also like the album art a lot.
Public Enemy
3/5
Some of the songs sound a bit corny, but this is cool for its time.
Willie Nelson
5/5
This is an awesome album. Vocals are impeccable. Blue eyes crying in the rain is an all time great song.
Can
4/5
I have never heard of this before, but I really like the guitar work and the album art is cool too. The album definitely gets weirder and weirder as it goes on though.
fIREHOSE
4/5
Solid alternative rock album. The bass lines were pretty nice throughout.
3/5
Better than I thought it would be.
Kanye West
5/5
One of my favorite albums ever. Production is immaculate, the features are fire, and the lyrics are vulnerable. Every song feels like a movie.
Dr. John
3/5
I have not really heard anything like this. Pretty spooky witch doctor music. Kind of cool though.
FKA twigs
2/5
This is some whispery experimental pop.
Megadeth
2/5
Not my thing.
The Black Keys
3/5
I remember when this album came out. It is pretty bluesy and easy to listen to, but nothing really stands out to me.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Jamiroquai
4/5
Pretty enjoyable and funky album. I really like the lead singer's voice too. It fits very well.
Traffic
2/5
Meh rock and roll to me. Nothing super interesting here.
Suede
2/5
This is British art rock and I cannot say I am a fan.
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
4/5
This is some banging music. Does not feel like it came out in 1957.
Little Richard
3/5
Another 50s album. Little Richard is fun and an early rock star.
The Human League
3/5
Very synth pop from the 80s, ends on a band with Don't you want me.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
My My, Hey Hey is such a banger. Some of the heavier rock songs do not go as well with Young's voice in my opinion.
Neil Young
5/5
The Mamas & The Papas
4/5
The Clash
5/5
Perfecto
Pentangle
3/5
Cool Folk album I have never heard before. Weird there are three versions of one song on here though.
Sonic Youth
2/5
Kind of interesting but not my cup of tea.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
2/5
Not nearly as good as Juju.
Beatles
5/5
A perfect album in my opinion. One of the best ever.
David Bowie
3/5
Not his greatest album, but interestingly enough I really liked the instrumental songs at the end.
Koffi Olomide
2/5
A latinish album, but I was not really feeling it.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
Not my favorite at all.
Rahul Dev Burman
3/5
Surprisingly good.
Paul Simon
5/5
Absolute banger and one of the finest pop albums ever made.
Van Morrison
4/5
Not as good as Astral Weeks to me, but still an impressive album with great songwriting in a more popular style.
Calexico
4/5
Wow really surprised by this one. Super cool album. Lots of different stylistic elements including western, jazz, and latin.
The Birthday Party
1/5
this is pretty awful.

Fats Domino
3/5
I was not able to really find this album online. I listened to Fats Domino swings instead. Which was fun.
The Sabres Of Paradise

Decent rock album.
R.E.M.

Kind of bland rock and roll to me.

I do not love the vocals. It's alright at best.

Tears For Fears
2/5
A few of these songs are really great and a few of them are so incredibly forgettable.
The 13th Floor Elevators

Not very memorable to me. Sounds like a lot of the psychedelic music from that time period.
a-ha
2/5
Take on me is one of the best songs ever. The rest of the songs on here are not.

2/5
Boring and long.
Kraftwerk

Eh.

4/5
Pretty enjoyable. Great voice of course.

4/5
Very solid dancey album.
T. Rex
4/5

Iron Maiden
3/5
Not terrible, but not great. A few of the songs were hype.

1/5
Not good
Curtis Mayfield

Pretty enjoyable, but nothing really stood out too much to me.

Honestly really enjoyable and a big surprise for me. This was a good electronic album.
Jurassic 5
3/5
This was okay. Nothing stood out to me.
Roni Size
3/5
This was a pretty solid album, but it didn't have a clear direction to me. Is it instrumental? Is it a lyrical album? It was good for working, but entirely too long.
GZA
3/5
Cool production.
Pixies
3/5
Pretty cool album. Feels a bit ahead of its time. The production is very cool.
Alice In Chains
3/5
Better than I thought it would be, but it begins to drag towards the back half of the album.
Peter Gabriel
2/5
Kind of unique and not what I expected. But also not great.

I am on a huge instrumental album kick right now so this popped up at just the right time. Good stuff.
Elton John
4/5
A lot of very fun songs on here.
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Pretty great. Definitely worth the hype.

She's the queen of pop. A lot of this electropop is well ahead of it's time.

Not too bad. A bit long. Some real bangers though.

Pretty cool album. Some of the songs are kind of spooky.
Nick Drake
4/5
Very good folk album.
Pink Floyd
5/5
I do not think I have listened to this all the through in probably 6 years. And man is it impressive. The synthesizer usage was really awesome. RIP Syd Barrett.

2/5
Pretty boring.
Gotan Project
4/5
Very impressed. Am going to revisit this.

2/5
I thought this was boring and the lead singer did not have a good voice.

3/5
Not too bad. Smoke on the water is a classic of course.
Public Enemy
2/5
Not my favorite. I get it's important but it feels dates today.
Aerosmith
2/5
I do not like Aerosmith much at all.
Deep Purple
2/5
This is very long and it does not help that I got a deep purple album this week already.
Muddy Waters
4/5
Really good.
Leonard Cohen
3/5
Pretty good songwriting, but the vocals were rough.
Van Morrison
4/5
Pretty great live album. Van Morrison's voice shines here. His backing band sounds great. Biggest con is the length.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
It sounds pretty good, but I am not a fan of how spiritual some of the lyrics are.
Pulp
1/5
This was ass. It sounds like an 80s pop rock album, but it came out 10 years too late. Not a single thing memorable about this.
Bon Jovi
3/5
Solid rock album, with some clear bangers.
Tracy Chapman
4/5
Very good. Excellent voice.
Morrissey
1/5
My mom always called him miserable Morrissey and it is clear why. Every song is just him hating. The first song is literally about how Americans are fat and hate anyone who is not a white man. Like wow so insightful!
Beatles
4/5
Not as great as some of their later albums, but still excellent.
The Strokes
3/5
Pretty solid. Sad they changed the album cover.

3/5
Some nice beach vibes. Would be good in the summer.
De La Soul
3/5
This is a goofy and fun album with some cool samples.
Le Tigre
3/5
For a few of the songs the vocals are a bit too rough. But the instrumentals throughout are great. It is easy to hear the influence this had on the girl rock groups of the 2000s and beyond.
Korn
3/5
Much better than I would have anticipated. Got me hyped to go into the office today.
Mj Cole
3/5
Not terrible, but very long. Kind of wish it were just instrumental.

Great voice, but nothing else stands out.
Eminem
3/5
A lot of very iconic songs on here. I do not think this album ages super well though.

4/5
Really unique album that incorporates a lot of different styles and themes. You can never really tell what is coming next.
ZZ Top
3/5
Meh rock and roll but also La Grange.
Kate Bush
4/5
Pretty sweet album. Her voice in certain areas is very haunting in a good way.
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
Despite the length of the album, this is really a classic. Somehow it does not feel like there are fillers and there a lot of really incredible tracks.
Pixies
2/5
Did not love it, the vocals are rough.
1/5
This ain't it.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Beautiful voice and some great songs.
Destiny's Child
2/5
The beats are cool on some of these songs, but this really is not for me.

One of my all time favorites, I fortunately have this on vinyl. Extremely unique acoustic grunge. Kurt Cobain's voice really shines here.
Green Day
4/5
Fun album. With some fun songs.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
A few really big hits in this consistent, but typical, rock album.

2/5
Meh, not really for me.
Röyksopp
3/5
It was okay. Some of the songs were much cooler than others.
The Beau Brummels
3/5
I have never heard of this. It was pretty solid despite the Bob Dylan-esque vocals.
ABBA
3/5
There are some huge hits on this (Dancing Queen), but it is difficult for me to separate this piece of work from Mamma Mia.
M.I.A.
3/5
Intriguing album. I thought it was solid.
The Young Gods
2/5
Some of this was interesting, but I also could not understand any of it because it is French.

3/5
While this is cool, I much prefer the songs that do not have words.
Killing Joke
1/5
No thank you.
Slayer
4/5
Honestly this got me pumped to go into the office.
The Auteurs
2/5
The production is tight, but the vocals on some of the songs are very difficult to understand.
Portishead
4/5
Some of these songs are a bit different than their other projects, but still pretty good nonetheless.
Stereolab
3/5
Kind of cool.
Def Leppard
3/5

The Last Shadow Puppets
4/5
I really enjoyed the cinematic quality of this record. The orchestrations were very impressive.
Mercury Rev
4/5
Surprisingly pretty entertaining and cool. I liked it.
Liz Phair
3/5
Not bad
2/5
This is a very British album that does not really do it for me. There were a few songs that stood out to me as being good though.
ABBA
2/5
All of their music feels like it should be in a musical and not in a good way to me.
The Adverts
2/5
Pretty forgettable punk album.
Django Django
2/5
Pretty forgettable.
4/5
Better than I last remembered listening to this.
The Damned
2/5
Not that fun for me.

2/5
Not much stands out in this aside from Karma Chameleon.
The War On Drugs

A little better than the last Sepultura album, but still not really for me.

2/5
Not my favorite 80s album.
The Black Crowes
3/5

2/5
Did not love it.
The Only Ones
2/5
Some British pop. Not really my thing.
Led Zeppelin
3/5

5/5
One of the best records from the 90s.
Silver Jews
4/5
Kind of a happy sad alt country vibe.
Circle Jerks
2/5
Very short and very fast.
Rod Stewart
4/5
This was a very enjoyable folky album.
The Jesus And Mary Chain
3/5
While this is not the type of music I really enjoy, it feels way ahead of its time. This has to be a precursor to shoegaze music with the distortion and effects for the guitar.
Hole
3/5
Not bad.
2/5
Boring rock, nothing really stood out here.
The Charlatans
2/5
Meh.
T. Rex

3/5
Pretty smooth pop music. It gets a little boring after a while.

2/5
Quite shocked at how bad this was. The vocals and delivery were barely understandable. Some of the orchestration was cool.

Very British. The vocals were not my favorite but instrumentals were cool.

3/5
Kind of fun pop album.
John Grant

Now this album is really great. The musicianship is incredible. But it is way too long and loses a star because of that.
Beck
3/5
Good songwriting, but I thought the album was a bit slow.
Radiohead
2/5
Radiohead does not do it for me, and this is a weaker offering of theirs.
Ministry
2/5
Not for me. Was grinding at work so the high energy was tolerable in some spots.

More folky than I would have thought, not bad.

3/5
Pretty enjoyable.
Richard Thompson
3/5
Very Linda forward.
The Sonics
3/5
Not too special, pretty early pre punk thing.

Not my favorite jazz album.
Afrika Bambaataa
2/5

Blur
3/5
Very British but not awful.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
4/5
Some really incredible songs, but there were moments where it felt a little boring.
Def Leppard
2/5
All of these songs sound exactly the same to me. Power 80s pop rock.
The Undertones
3/5
The guitar was cool in some spots, but generally a generic British punk record.
Kate Bush
4/5
Kate Bush never disappoints.
Leftfield
4/5
Pretty solid instrumental album.
Todd Rundgren
4/5
Way cooler than I thought!
The Kinks
3/5
Some British punk music for sure.
Marvin Gaye
4/5
Pretty smooth. Let's get it on is an obvious banger, but the remainder of the album gets a bit stale.
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
One of the best modern hip hop records. Creative jazz beats coupled with politically charged lyricism.
Sugar
3/5
This was not terrible by any means, but was just kind of meh rock in my opinion.
3/5
Some weird pop songs and unique takes on some covers.
LL Cool J
2/5
Kind of boring.
Dirty Projectors
2/5
This was super boring.
Michael Jackson
5/5
You could argue this is the greatest album ever made. Easy 5/5.
Belle & Sebastian
4/5
Very cool precursor to some chamber pop music in the 2000s.
Sade
4/5
Enjoyable and smooth.
Barry Adamson
3/5
Interesting, but a little boring at parts. I like the concept of a noir film score.
Death In Vegas
4/5
Surprisingly a bit more intriguing than I would have thought. Cool instrumental parts.
Mott The Hoople
2/5
This sounds like if Bob Dylan was a shitty 70s rock band.
LTJ Bukem
4/5
Very confused because the track listing on spotify is much different than what is listed on wikipedia. But whatever I listened to was pretty cool and jazzy drum and bass music.
The Replacements
3/5
A little better than I thought.
Gang Starr
3/5
Some cool beats and solid rhymes.
Sister Sledge
3/5
Kind of funky, kind of jazzy.
Malcolm McLaren
4/5
Very unique! This was a pleasant surprise to me. The radio station concept was very cool and fun. The tracks are very diverse and break into a lot of world music.
Tim Buckley
3/5
Solid folk album, but the songs are long and some of them begin to drag.
Bee Gees
3/5
A more diverse album than I would have thought.
The Byrds
3/5
Kind of forgettable but nothing is bad.
Madonna
4/5
Some solid electro pop. I think with how popular electro pop is now, this record feels pretty dated. But it was undoubtedly influential and experimental at its time.
Sonic Youth
3/5
Cool guitar work, but it really seems like no one in this band can sing.
Lupe Fiasco
5/5
A hip hop classic.
Massive Attack
4/5
The beats were really cool, but some of the vocals were hit or miss for me.
The Shamen
2/5
Sort of interesting techno dancy music, but it gets old and repetitive very quickly.
Tom Waits
2/5
His voice is indescribably bad.
3/5
The first song is quite interesting, but the second song feels slow and drags a bit. The final song is cool (I really like the harpsichord) but also very long.
Bonnie Raitt
2/5
Kind of slow, but some of the songs were decent.
50 Cent
4/5
Has some of the best club bangers of all time.
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
2/5
Not really that good at all.

Badly Drawn Boy
3/5
A bit better than I expected. Some diverse tracks.
k.d. lang
3/5
Solid country album. I enjoyed it.
OutKast
5/5
While this record is very long, the diversity between Big Boi and Andre 3k's sides of the record keep it from dragging or getting stale. This is a stellar album.
The La's
3/5
There She Goes is the big hit off of this, but the record is otherwise okay.
Lightning Bolt
3/5
A little weird, but still had some cool guitar parts.
Beatles
4/5
This a charming record with a lot of fun songs. Not as ambitious as their later albums.
Animal Collective
3/5
Not sure I get the hype on this one. It is some trippy pop songs, but nothing stands out that much.
Wu-Tang Clan
5/5
Great production and great rhymes. One of the most influential hip hop records ever.
Grateful Dead
3/5
The guitar work on this is great, but the album is so long and drags and begins to lose focus. I understand that is part of jam music, but it detracts from the album for me.
Gillian Welch
3/5
Interesting folk music, but gets boring at times.
New Order
4/5
Very cool usage of synthesizers. I enjoyed this.
David Gray
3/5
A little better than expected, but not by much. The mixing feels pretty bad at some moments.
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
Really enjoyable pop album.
Bill Callahan
3/5
Kind of cool, but also a bit slow through some of it.
Rufus Wainwright
3/5
This is a creative pop opera type of record. I think there were moments where the instrumentals and vocals are paired together well and are very lush. But they are moments where it gets boring.
Brian Eno
4/5
I enjoyed this semi-ambient project. From the wikipedia article it seems like this is a pretty landmark album for ambient music which is interesting.
Turbonegro
3/5
Pretty surprised by this. It was pretty entertaining and the guitar work is really strong.
Ananda Shankar
4/5
This was very cool! I love the covers.
Nanci Griffith
3/5
This was a very smooth folk album. While it was enjoyable, nothing stood out to me as being particularly impressive.
Neil Young
3/5
Solid folk album.
Faith No More
3/5
This is like if Guns and Roses met the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not bad.

3/5
I thought this record was solid, but not my personal favorite.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Solid folk album.
Ozomatli
3/5
This was a fun latin/funk/hiphop record. Pretty enjoyable.
Meat Puppets
3/5
Surprisingly solid. I prefer the Nirvana MTV Unplugged covers of Plateau, Oh Me, and Lake of Fire though.
Erykah Badu
4/5
Very strong soul album. Really smooth and enjoyable. Erykah Badu has an incredible voice.
Paul Revere & The Raiders
3/5
Now this was not bad, but it definitely had nothing that made me think to listen to it again.
AC/DC
2/5
Starts off with Highway to Hell and goes downhill.
Drive-By Truckers
2/5
I really do not like this and find some of the southern lyrics to be crude and stupid. But I do find it interesting that this album was financed by fans using promissory notes.
Johnny Cash
4/5
Very strong live album. Some truly timeless songs on here.
PJ Harvey
2/5
This was not good.

1/5

Kind of enjoyable folkish country pop album from Dolly and friends.
Hot Chip
4/5
This was surprisingly pretty fun for me! I liked it.
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
4/5
Very creative, weird, and unique. While this is a tough listen, I think it is quite impressive.
Wild Beasts
3/5
Fairly enjoyable, but nothing stood out to me.
Tom Waits
2/5
A little better than some other Tom Waits albums, but his voice is still atrocious.
Belle & Sebastian
4/5
This was a very pleasant and enjoyable record.
The Pretty Things
4/5
Honestly this was pretty cool. Surprisingly ambitious for the time it came out.
Ice T
2/5
This was quite long, but it was somewhat entertaining.
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Pretty funky and fun.

2/5

More new wavey than some of their other things.
The Who
3/5
This was a fine live rock album.
Taylor Swift
4/5
I do not believe this record is as good as its sister album 'Folklore'. But I do think some of the peaks are higher. Champagne Problems is one of Swift's strongest songs in her entire discography to me. I much prefer Swift's folk sound in this record to some of her other work.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Awesome folk/pop album! Short and sweet with no filler.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
A few of the songs are all-time classics. There was a lot more religious imagery than I remembered in this throughout.
Common
4/5
This was really cool. Common has great social commentary and a very nice voice and flow.
Björk
4/5
The instrumentals and orchestrations are truly one of a kind. They sound angelic and magical. Bjork's voice distracts from the beautiful arrangements because it is difficult to understand due to both her accent as well as her delivery.
R.E.M.
3/5
Kind of boring, but nothing particularly bad. Just okay.
Elvis Presley
3/5
Pretty enjoyable.
Cream
3/5
This was fine. Guitar work was strong.

Surprisingly really good! I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Brian Wilson
4/5
Very cool harmonies. Feels like a continuation of Pet Sounds.

It began to drag at the end. I also preferred the songs with no vocals.
Gil Scott-Heron
4/5
Pretty cool! Shame i could only find it on youtube. some pretty famous samples are from here.
Janet Jackson
5/5
Wow! Really impressed. This was awesome. Catchy and also significant and serious themes.

Boards of Canada
3/5
A little bit slow and boring, but still decent background music.
UB40

2/5
Kind of weird. Not as good as Screamadelica.

5/5

3/5
I do not love it, but I see it's influence as early post punk music.
Joy Division
2/5
Pretty boring tbh.
The Jesus And Mary Chain
2/5
Nothing really stood out to me here.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
A long record, but has some big hits and great guitar work and vocals.
Sigur Rós
5/5
This was such a surprise to me! Incredible instrumentals and vocals! Even though it was all in Icelandic, you could feel the emotion.
Throwing Muses
4/5
This was hard to find, but surprisingly cool! Similar to the B52s or Blondie. Love a good female lead for rock.
Bob Dylan
4/5
This is kind of fire. The country music sound is cool for Bobby D.

This is a very nostalgic record for me, I remember this was the first CD I put onto my ipod. Still pretty solid.

Raekwon
5/5
Awesome hip hop album. Production and flows are sick.
4/5
Surprisingly fun record.
Tom Waits
5/5
I am normally a Tom Waits hater, but this was really cool! The jazz club atmosphere worked so well with Waits' voice and delivery. The live audience really showed off his ability to work the crowd as well as his humor. The supporting jazz group was awesome too. The album cover is really cool and is reminiscent of Hopper's Nighthawks (definitely intentional).
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
2/5
Nothing really super noteworthy imo. This is not Graceland.
The Cramps
2/5
This was not very good.
Ice Cube
3/5

3/5
Ehhhh. This was okay.
Faust
3/5
Not really sure what this was.
Fleet Foxes
4/5
The vocals in the album are quite a treat. This album feels very warm and pure. Maybe it is because winter is starting to end where I am from, but it really is fitting for the warming of the spring. I really like the variations between very soft instrumentals to more forward instrumentals. They also vary the layering on the vocals a lot which keeps them sounding fresh.
Snoop Dogg
4/5
This is a hip hop classic. It sounds unique despite it's age. Some of the songs on here have aged better than others though.
Slint
5/5
Incredibly cool record with a lot of lore.
Devendra Banhart
3/5
This was a solid folkish album. Pretty enjoyable to me.
Isaac Hayes

A lot of these songs are really pretty, but this is so long they all start to bleed together and lose impact.
Massive Attack
4/5
It was good, but not as good as some of their other work.
Dinosaur Jr.
3/5
This was alright. Some of the guitar work was cool. But why was the ending so abrupt? The art is cool.
Britney Spears
3/5
There were some good songs on here but also some stinkers.
Girls Against Boys
3/5
Guitar was cool but that's about it.
Ali Farka Touré
4/5
This was really cool guitar work.

4/5
Deep, slow, and sad.
John Coltrane
5/5
A jazz classic. Really incredible.
Nico
3/5
This got a bit boring after a while. The vocals are almost haunting.
Joan Baez
4/5
This was very pretty and the loud soft contrast is really impressive for a folk album.
Dexys Midnight Runners

This was okay. I see why they are considered a one hit wonder. Because there are no hits on here.
The Young Rascals
4/5
Surprisingly a little more fun and entertaining than I thought it would be.
