Queen
1/5
Queen is possibly the most overrated and overplayed band in history

U2 is a disgrace to Ireland and Bono should be barred from the country forever

Bruce Springsteen
1/5
This album reeks of the type of empty faux-patriotism dad rock that permeates most of these weird post-9/11 albums. Listen to Darkness on the Edge of Town instead

PJ Harvey
2/5
Not a huge PJ Harvey fan. This is certainly better than Stories from the City but I've yet to find an album by them that makes me think more then "meh" before abruptly moving on and forgetting about it. I can see why this appeals to some people, I'm just not those people

Motörhead
2/5
Motörhead isn't terrible, but this live set seems like it's just a greatest hits hodgepodge with no coherence as an album itself. Still some good songs on it though
Cocteau Twins
5/5
Fred Neil
3/5
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
A lot of surprises on this album. I was really only familiar with heads Will Roll and Maps but this album surprised me. It's almost a dream pop album in some areas, if anything "Heads Will Roll" stands out as being very unlike the rest of the album. Highly recommend
PJ Harvey
2/5
Not a huge PJ Harvey fan. This is certainly better than Stories from the City but I've yet to find an album by them that makes me think more then "meh" before abruptly moving on and forgetting about it. I can see why this appeals to some people, I'm just not those people
John Prine
4/5
White Denim
2/5
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
You don't need me to tell you this album is good. You've probably already heard the whole thing played throughout 20 different Vietnam War movies
Faust
4/5
Faust is great, very well done Krautrock. I still prefer Nue but there's enough going on here to really make this stand out amongst the broader movement
Miles Davis
5/5
The Band
4/5
The Band bangs
Led Zeppelin
3/5
Pretty average Zepplin fare. Has some famous songs on it but isn't as good as their better albums
Culture Club
3/5
Probably the best Culture Club album. I'm not entirely huge on them as a band but their hits are great. The things between the hits I could take or leave, they kinda drag a bit and get muddled in 80s noise
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
3/5
Pixies
4/5
Not as good as Doolittle or Surfer Rosa but a very good and different album by the Pixies
De La Soul
4/5
Odd and interesting, weirdly sexual, but very good
The Thrills
3/5
Kinda sounds like a ripoff of Neil Young or Bob Dylan. Not bad, but why not just listen to them instead?
1/5
This album sucks lol
Leonard Cohen
4/5
One of Cohens best, and that's a high bar
Megadeth
1/5
I don't like Megadeth
Astrud Gilberto
4/5
Didn't realize how deep the Astrud rabbit hole went but this album is incredible
Earth, Wind & Fire
3/5
Classic funk, iconic 70s classic, bonus for being used in Muppets in Space
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
One of the greatest rap albums of all time, what more even is there to say about this that hasn't already been said
Van Morrison
3/5
Decent album by van Morrison standards
Paul Simon
4/5
Probably some of Paul Simon's best on here
Brian Eno
4/5
Great album by Eno, title says it all, perfect vibe for airport waiting
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Almost all of CCR's albums are good, this is no different
The Cure
4/5
Probably the cure's best in my opinion, but what do I know?
Todd Rundgren
2/5
I'm meh about Todd Rundgren, this album is fine and so is most of his discography
Nirvana
4/5
Some of the best there's ever been from Nirvana
Neil Young
4/5
2nd best Neil Young album
Baaba Maal
2/5
Very well made but not really my kinda thing personally
Van Morrison
2/5
Eh, Van Morrison is fine I guess
Queen
1/5
Queen is possibly the most overrated and overplayed band in history
Pixies
5/5
Top 5 albums from the 90s, incredible shit
Beastie Boys
3/5
Not as good as Paul's Boutique but probably the Boy's second best
Anthrax
1/5
I've never liked Anthrax and this only affirms my dislike of them
JAY Z
3/5
Great album by Jay-Z, not as good as the older stuff but I still enjoyed it
Funkadelic
4/5
Great album, rivals a lot of Parliament's other stuff on its own
A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
All-time hip hop band, Tribe is sensational. Only surpassed by one or two of their better albums
Solange
3/5
It's fine, I'm not really a fan of Solange personally but this is one of her better albums
Björk
4/5
Great example of phenomenal abstract pop. Not Björk's best but it's up there and Björk owns that genre so it's still phenomenal
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
3/5
Middle of the road for these guys
Tom Waits
4/5
bangers
Mercury Rev
3/5
It's alright
Paul McCartney and Wings
4/5
Great album by McCartney, probably one of his best as far as solo work goes

Aretha Franklin
4/5
Probably my favorite Aretha album

4/5

One of the greatest classic rock albums of all time, but that's standard for Pink Floyd
The Birthday Party
2/5
Prefer other Nick Cave stuff, this is meh
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Not Hendrix's best album but Hendrix is easily top 5 guitar players all time so that's a hard bunch to pick from honestly
Robert Wyatt
2/5
id not like this but he's undeniably talented
Snoop Dogg
3/5
Really good by Snoop standards, but I'm eh about him so that standard is mid
Deep Purple
3/5
Great classic album, Jojo moment
D'Angelo
2/5
Not that impressive, the covers of Cruisn' are better than this
The Darkness
1/5
This man's voice is fucking insufferable. The only redeeming quality here is MAYBE the instrumentals
Ray Charles
3/5
Very good but just not my thing
Thelonious Monk
5/5
Literally one of the greatest Jazz musicians of all time, not a single sleeper album
Public Image Ltd.
3/5

Lynyrd Skynyrd
2/5
Kinda overrated honestly
Burning Spear
4/5

Morrissey
3/5
Decent, but most Smiths albums are better than this
Deerhunter
4/5
Great album, honestly insane for how old it is compared to today
XTC
3/5

Justice
5/5
One of the best to ever do it
Electric Light Orchestra
3/5
Honestly enjoyed this album a lot more than I thought I would
Screaming Trees
2/5
It's fine, not really my thing, a lot of 90s grunge is kinda ass, sorry
Supertramp
2/5
Not as good as other albums from the same era, could be better
Laura Nyro
3/5
Fine stuff, not really familiar with Nyo's work but I enjoyed it well enough, nothing really standoutish though
Common
3/5
Pretty good, didn't know Common got down like that
Iggy Pop
5/5
One of the best to ever do it, genuinely one of the best albums of the 70s
Jeff Beck
2/5
Eh, it's alright, not really my favorite style personally
Leonard Cohen
3/5
While I love Cohen, this isn't necessarily his best work
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
Incredible stuff, really captures the vibe of 70s funk perfectly
Wilco
4/5
Truly incredible work, Chicago moment
Portishead
2/5
Just not really a Portishead fan, don't think I ever will be, whole album is just meh
George Harrison
4/5
great album, one of the best Beatles solo works honestly
Simply Red
2/5
It's alright for this genre of 80s pop but I feel like it's nothing memorable and would get lost amongst more talented artists
Fugees
4/5
Great stuff, anything with Lauryn Hill is a must
ZZ Top
3/5
It's decent, pretty much all you'd need to hear of ZZ Top is on here
Fats Domino
2/5
It's fine? Kinda hard to listen to since half the songs were copyright blocked on Spotify lol
The Rolling Stones
3/5
A great early self-titled, but not The Stone's best
Sparks
2/5
I'm all for interesting and creative rock, but this is just boring and often bad, sound like something I'd come up with as a 10 year old on a child's drum and keyboard set
4/5
Something for almost everybody on this, really solid blend of genres and style
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4/5
Costello is a phenomenal talent, really one of the best artists of his era. This isn't my favorite album by him but it's great none the less
Mudhoney
2/5
Bad, better than a lot of other meh grunge but most grunge is not great. You are not gonna get me to like Pearl Jam or Soundgraden, sorry, I do not care
The Icarus Line
3/5
Alright for early oughts punk, nothing to really write home about, very middle of the road
Kate Bush
5/5
Incredible album, one of the greatest ever. One of the first albums I ever bought on vinyl. You a real hater if you can't get down with this
Suede
2/5
This is fine, middle of the road, nothing memorable, meh, whatever
Patti Smith
4/5
Really solid stuff, Patti Smith is legendary for a reason, I don't think she's ever been overhyped
2/5
Pretty boring, really nothing I'd go back and listen to. Not badly produced or anything, just really unremarkable
The Band
4/5
Love these guys
Marty Robbins
5/5
THIS IS A CERTIFIED NEW VEGAS MOMENT
Sam Cooke
5/5
Really solid, probably one of the greatest soul albums ever made. Can't really go wrong with Sam Cooke
Neil Young
4/5
Great album, Neil Young is one of the greatest songwriters ever. Only reason that it's not 5 stars is that it's not as good as Harvest or After the Gold Rush
Public Image Ltd.
3/5
Public Image is fine, I think Johnny Rotten is an arrogant asshole and that sense permeates through most of LTD's songs but this album was decent
Michael Jackson
4/5
Wildly great, some sleeper hits, McCartney one is meh, but the highs are some of Jackson's best
Elton John
4/5
Really good. I think Yellowbrick Road is a better album but most things like Elton John are unbeatable
Rod Stewart
2/5
It's fine, Rod Stewart is fine, I really don't have much more to say about this or him really
Deee-Lite
4/5
Wild sound, 2nd best Deee-Lite album probably
Yes
3/5
Pretty good, I don't really care that much for Yes but this has some classic hits on it
The Pogues
5/5
One of the greatest Irish bands ever. Please, I beg the public to associate Ireland with the Pogues instead of U2. I'll do anything. Please take Bono, we don't want him anymore, please, I'm begging you
Miriam Makeba
4/5
Very good interesting album. Not really that well versed in South African music but I enjoyed this
Kraftwerk
3/5
This is GOOD. Not great, not \perfect, just good. Kraftwerk has better albums and better songs but this is still undeniably GOOD
Black Flag
5/5
THEY HATE US, WE HATE THEM
Billy Joel
1/5
Awful awful awful. Some Billy Joel songs are ok, this album is like 90 percent trash. I think if I have to hear Scenes from an Italian Restaurant one more time in my life I won't be able restrain myself, just a terrible song
Gorillaz
3/5
This isn't as good as Plastic Beach or Demon Days but it's probably their 3rd best album? Just not as solid all-around but still pretty great
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
I think Nick cave is fine, I just really don't fuck with his vocal style, I don't know what it is. He's undeniably talented but i just can't stand how he sounds between this, The Birthday Party, or any other project, sorry
Jacques Brel
2/5
Whatever? I could care less, frog man
Primal Scream
3/5
Alright, kinda eclectic, not really sure what to feel about this, don't think I'd go out of my way to listen again but I didn't dislike it
Beatles
4/5
Losing one star purely because while this is a masterpiece it's not the Beatles BEST album
Al Green
4/5
This album is pretty much perfect for what it is. not perfect for me, but for what it's going for it hits every mark
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
5/5
BANGER AFTER BANGER
The Doors
4/5
Great, really solid, some forgettable songs but the hits are hit way out of the park
Willie Nelson
4/5
Another Willie banger, never missed in those days
Blood, Sweat & Tears
2/5
This album confused me lol, not really sure what it's trying to be. It's great in some parts and forgettable in others, very odd choices
Big Black
5/5
I love you Steve, please put your stuff back on Spotify, please Steve, I need to blast Kerosene from my car without having to mad skip SoundCloud or YouTube every 5 seconds
The Last Shadow Puppets
2/5
I don't like Arctic Monkeys and I don't like this
Frank Zappa
2/5
It's fine, Zappa is whatever, this is about as middle of the road as you can get
The Offspring
2/5
Only gets a second star because there are like one or two ok songs on this but this is like buttrock for middle schoolers lol
Jane's Addiction
3/5
Decent album, I hat Dave Nabarro though
The Cars
5/5
Genuinely got excited when I saw this album come up yesterday, front to back banger after banger
R.E.M.
3/5
Alright, good stuff, not bad at all, not exceptional
Neil Young
5/5
Neil does it again, he does it on every album if you ask me
Beck
3/5
Very middle of the road, I don't really have a solid opinion on Beck. Everything he puts out is good but doesn't particularly stand out to me
Pulp
2/5
Meh, not huge on Pulp, a few good songs here, not really interesting to me overall though, kinda overrated
Echo And The Bunnymen
4/5
Pretty solid all around. Some meh songs on hit but you've got some classic hits too
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
Every Nick Cave album I listen to I like him less and less, please stop making me listen to Nick Cave
The Killers
2/5
Overplayed, overrated, some good songs, otherwise nah
R.E.M.
2/5
R.E.M. is overrated as shit, please stop recommending them to me. Only good thing on this album is Orange Crush
Nina Simone
5/5
Insanely good, one of the greatest singers of all time, really unimpeachable stuff here
The Cult
1/5
trash trash hair metal trash
Bob Dylan
4/5
Most Dylan is great, this is really no exception
Bon Jovi
1/5
Make it stop, why would you subject me to this?
The Beta Band
1/5
Trahs

1/5
I SWEAR TO GOD IF I GET ONE MORE NICK CAVE LABUM ON HERE. PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP
The Stone Roses
5/5
Insanely good, nothing but winners, I Wanna be Adored
Elvis Presley
3/5
Pretty good, not Elvis' best work, still great for the time it was released in
AC/DC
1/5
Bad bad and more bad
Buena Vista Social Club
5/5
For what this is it's near perfect. Cuban rhythm and guitar slaps
Ray Charles
5/5
Incredible work, not my personal vibe but for what this is it's perfect
Herbie Hancock
5/5
Herbie GOATed
Beatles
4/5
Great, not my personal favorite Beatles album, but what can you say about Abbey Road that hasn't already been said
Cream
2/5
Ok, some decent stuff, some whatever, not really the best, pretty forgettable overall
Radiohead
4/5
Very good, just like almost everything Radiohead has ever done

Another Kendrick banger, fuck Drake
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
1/5
Trash, garbage even. Really no fucking idea what this was going for or why it's on this list, it blows
Wu-Tang Clan
5/5
One of the greatest rap groups of all-time and one of the greatest rap albums of all-time
Leftfield
5/5
One of the best albums in this genre, revolutionary shit
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
1/5
I HATE NICK CAVE. PLEASE STOP MAKING ME LISTEN TO NICK CAVE
Pixies
4/5
Only reason this is getting 4 and not 5 is because Doolittle is better
Sisters Of Mercy
3/5
Good New Wave, not up there with the real heavy hitters but it's definitely in the rotation
Kings of Leon
1/5
Ass ass ass ass, worse and worse with each song
k.d. lang
4/5
Solid country, great work
Minor Threat
5/5
1/2 of the iconic Häagen-Dazs Duo. One of the best to ever do it
The Kinks
3/5
Alright, The Kinks have always felt a little derivative to me though, like a more meh version of The Beatles
Britney Spears
3/5
I understand why this was such a hit but I just have heard it too many times and it's kinda played out, sorry Britney
Tangerine Dream
5/5
Nuts, incredible work
Jean-Michel Jarre
5/5
Another electronic classic
Joe Ely
3/5
Not my favorite country album on this list. Still pretty good but not overly memorable
The KLF
3/5
Eh, not as good as some of the other electronic bands or albums from this era
The Dictators
3/5
Classic stuff but kinda reductive by modern standards
The Kinks
2/5
Another meh album by the Kinks that's reaklly only known for its one or two hits, sorry
Megadeth
2/5
This is the kinda thing you think is cool like your freshman year of college then immediately look back on it and realize how much it actually sucks
The Saints
3/5
Good ol' Australian punk. Iconic for its time, alright now
Joy Division
5/5
One of the greatest albums of all time by one of the greatest bands of all time
David Bowie
4/5
Ironically, Young American is the worst song on this album lol
Blur
3/5
Alright, Gorillaz is a better Damon Albarn project and produces a better product, sorry
Marilyn Manson
1/5
Trash just like this trash human being
3/5
Not Yes' best work in my personal opinion
The Slits
3/5
Alright, kinda whatever, nothing particularly memorable
Harry Nilsson
3/5
Harry Nilsson is undoubtedly incredibly talented, however this album just really does nothing for me. Probably has to do with how over played it is but it just doesn't feel special
Big Brother & The Holding Company
4/5

Anybody from CSNY does great work
The Smiths

The Zutons
2/5
Meh, unremarkable, don't really care about this at all
The Fall

Fantastic album, The Fall's influence on the Manchester post-punk scene as it exists today is insane
The Chemical Brothers
4/5
Almost perfect techno, only a few songs that kinda stray from the path detract from it
Joanna Newsom
2/5
I honestly find Joanna Newsom's voice extremely grating and annoying, I don't know what it is, sorry. The instrumentality is undoubtly great, I just can't deal with her voice, it's like if they tried to make American Bjork but it doesn't work
Incredible Bongo Band
4/5
Genuinely surprising how good this is
The Specials
3/5
I don't really like Ska that much but this is pretty decent stuff

Prince
4/5
Most of Prince’s best songs are on here so yeah, it’s pretty good

2/5
Otis Redding
3/5
There's a lot of classic stuff on here but I've also heard it like 2,000 times so it doesn't really hit anymore
Dexys Midnight Runners
2/5
This is just kinda corny and stupid, I don't really care about it
Dinosaur Jr.
4/5
One of the best sludge rock albums ever
The Divine Comedy
2/5
Nah, I really don't know what the point of this album was but it honestly is complete meh

Fitzgerald is arguably the best in her genre, this album just exemplifies it

There’s some really good stuff on here and then there’s some really not good stuff, very mixed bag
Destiny's Child
2/5
Eh, not their best work
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
3/5
This is good, I guess? I don't listen to this type of music often so I have no idea what the general quality range is. I thought it was fine
Spiritualized
2/5
Eh, whatever? I legit forgot I listened to this the next day
Nas
5/5
One of the greatest rap albums ever
1/5
A disgrace to the nation of Ireland, I apologize that we are associated with these people

4/5
Sick album, never heard of these guys before but I really love the Brazilian psych sound

Eh? Unremarkable. I didn't really care for anything particularly on this album
Fairport Convention
3/5
Pretty great, not my personal favorite of their work but still really good
Wild Beasts
3/5
The instrumentals on this are great but the vocals are abundantly meh
The Young Gods
1/5
Garbage, just listen to NIN. The vocals on this are genuinely insufferable and the instrumentals are just straight up uninteresting. There's so many projects that do this better, I'd happily never listen to this shit again personally
Antony and the Johnsons
3/5
Pretty good, not fantastic, some good songs, some meh songs
Aretha Franklin
2/5
The Divine Comedy
1/5
Neil Hannon wrote My Lovely Horse and genuinely seems like a sound guy but I simply do not like his other musical projects. I find them grating and annoying, I'm not nostalgic for them, I never liked them and I don't think I ever will
Buck Owens
4/5
A fantastic example of Country music that's actually good and not awful pop country slop like Zac brown Band etc.
Tom Waits
4/5
Great Waits album. You either love or hate Tom but I love him
Arctic Monkeys
2/5
I do not like this band, no matter how many times you try to make me listen to them, i do not like this band
Madonna
2/5
Whatever album by Madonna, i don't think she's as revolutionary in 2025 as she was when she was putting this stuff out
AC/DC
1/5
Slop, really only way to say it
The Waterboys
5/5
Banger after banger
Cheap Trick
3/5
Pretty good, not really sure why this is on here as a live album though. it's fine and has a decent selection of cheap trick songs but you'd be better off listening to an album
Baaba Maal
4/5
Pleasantly surprising, never really listened to this artist before
The Residents
2/5
Look, I'm a huge weird music fan, I love DEVO, but I just can not get into this. It's not that it's too out there, it's that it isn't interesting and it's just kinda annoying. The only reason this is 2 stars instead of 1 is because Constantinople is a decent song
Dennis Wilson
3/5
Pretty good. Not as good as The beach Boys or Brian Wilson's stuff but still
My Bloody Valentine
4/5
One of the best gazers ever, only losing a star because it's not as good as Loveless
Arcade Fire
3/5
One of the better albums of the early 2000s indie rock pop alternative movement. Without this band you wouldn't have later projects in the series, they really paved the way for music that became popular for a few years before everybody realized it was kinda mid. that's not an insult to this album or band though, unlike groups like Of Monsters and Men or Naked and Famous Arcade Fire actually have an enduring legacy that still kinda holds up
Raekwon
4/5
Some of the best ever, not as peak as Wu Tang or NAS but still up there
Hole
4/5
Courtney did not kill Kurt but she did kill on the track

Decent, not really much else to say
The Psychedelic Furs
4/5
very very very solid 80s jams
John Lee Hooker
4/5
banger, great blues album
Laibach
2/5
I get what they're going for, I get what it's supposed to be, but that doesn't mean it's fun to listen to or enjoyable at all
Sex Pistols
4/5
A solid album all around, it's losing a star because Johnny Rotten is an idiot and a loser who should be beaten up and shoved in a locker
The Incredible String Band
1/5
I do not like this band, I do not like their music, I do not like them
Kid Rock
1/5
Slop, like pretty much everything else Kid Rock has ever made
Radiohead
5/5
The endless debate of The Bends or Kid A is long argued and I will not rehash it here, I will only say that The bends is one of the best albums of all time, which is more than I can say about some of the albums on this list
Machito
5/5
Incredibly solid for the genre
Ice Cube
4/5
Not as solid as NWA but still one of the best hip hop solo projects to emerge from NWA
The Smiths
5/5
You can listen to this album every single day of your life and you will not get tired of it
Red Snapper
4/5
Extremely competent if a little shaky in some rare places

Only losing a star because this is not Bowie's best album but it's certainly up there
Goldie
4/5
D&B legend, great album
The Who
3/5

4/5
Really fantastic, only really a little spotty in a few places

3/5
It's fine?
N.E.R.D
1/5
I hate N/E.R.D. and I really can't stand Pharrell, sorry

2/5
Pretty good but not spectacular
Saint Etienne
3/5
It's ok, I'm not a Saint Etienne fan and this didn't change my mind at all
The War On Drugs
4/5
Timelessly great
Beth Orton
3/5
Fine, whatever, not really remarkable either way
Hawkwind
3/5
I'm not huge on space rock but this is pretty great for the gendre
Thin Lizzy
4/5
Irish boys doing their best
Booker T. & The MG's
4/5
All bangers
R.E.M.
2/5
REM is overrated. I'm sorry, that's just the truth. This is like the 3rd album of theirs I've gotten and I've liked exactly 0 of them outside of a select few songs
Marianne Faithfull
3/5
It's ok, she's always been just ok to me
Jack White
4/5
Really really good. I feel like you either like Jack or you don't but this hits for me

Some great songs in here and some that I couldn’t care less about

Probably Rod Stewart's best album and it's still not very good

Not MIA's best and a little dated honestly
The Magnetic Fields
4/5

LCD Soundsystem
4/5
One of their best probably

It's ok, some good and some bad, I'm already hit or miss on the Stones so this is no different to me
David Holmes
4/5
Incredible electronics, not perfect but close for the genre
Dexys Midnight Runners
2/5
If you like Ska this is probably a great album but I don't so I'd say this is fine, completely fine, nothing else
Meat Puppets
4/5
Classic
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Pet Shop boys are great but this album is middling at best
Frank Sinatra
3/5
It’s fine? I do t really care about Sinatra. I don’t think I’ve ever found myself wanting to listen to l e of his albums and this didn’t change my mind
Elbow
2/5
Fine, not really that remarkable, I kinda forgot about it after it finished
Love
3/5
Album is kinda all over the place. Some songs are fantastic and some are stylistically different and out of place
Ice T
4/5
As goofy as Ice T is as a guy outside of music his music itself is undeniably great
Eels
2/5
Completely whatever forgettable 90s music. Nothing memorable or standout at all, just in one ear and out the other
a-ha
4/5
Surprisingly solid. I only knew a few tracks off this album before this but this whole thing was great
Dr. Dre
4/5
One of Dre’s and the genre’s best
G. Love & Special Sauce
2/5
Even though he's a Philly guy I just simply don't love G. Love's weird ska adjacent style, sorry, Go Birds though
Anita Baker
3/5

Iron Maiden
1/5
Pure slop, really no other way around it
Grateful Dead
4/5
Objectively great but not my tging

3/5
It's alright, just kinda slow sad country with some subpar covers

Iffy album by the Blues Explosion which is a shame because I like most of their dtuff

4/5
Absolute banger album and a highly underrated one at that

Great album
Cee Lo Green
4/5
Cee-Lo's new stuff is kinda pop slop but he used to be great

3/5
It’s pretty good, not super memorable though
The Temptations
3/5

4/5
Solid, this album art is popular for a reason
Randy Newman
1/5
Fucking ass lol, sorry, I don't like anything on this

Some of Hendrix's best work on here, only like one or two "eh" songs on it
Fatboy Slim
4/5
This is just one of the many albums that shows you why Norman is so well regarded
Amy Winehouse
2/5
Man I really just don't care for Amy Winehouse. Her vocals just don't do it for me and all her songs are just bland bland bland
The Beau Brummels

Pretty decent, some good stuff but not the most memorable thing ever
1/5
Slop then, slop now, why did people ever like this?
Robbie Williams
2/5
This is really just mediocre Britpop slop. it's getting 2 stars instead of 1 because it's slightly more bearable than Williams other stuff but that's a low bar
Wire
4/5
One of the all-time greatest early punk records out there
Barry Adamson

Full 80s pop energy, you get what you pay for

Mott The Hoople
2/5
Not really sure why this is on here, it's fairly unremarkable

Dire Straits
5/5
“Sal, I was here! It’s a joke!”
The Libertines
2/5
What the hell is it with this list and insane Britslop?

THE FUNK SOUL BROTHA'
Blur
3/5
This album grows on you even if I don't really like Blur much at all

Not good, not enjoyable, just sloppy mush
Aerosmith
2/5

Afrika Bambaataa
3/5
Pretty great classic hip hop DJ set but nothing really else to say about it
