"The Man Who" made a bummer album
Enjoyable listen once through of "honkytonk" music. I guess this is just another word for people who liked to drink and dance back in the day?
OK album---enjoyed the Not Dark Yet track.
A few slaps and a few snoozes
I enjoyed this album, just because of how much was going on in it. A lot of weird sounds. Reminded me a lot of Radiohead. Apparently won album of the year over OK computer. Also, seems to be before Kid A came out---this album definitely influenced the end of "The National Anthem".
Nice jazz with an interesting style. Enjoyed the first and third track.
Major Courtney Love vibes with no memorable songs.
A few classic songs but I can't get behind the majority.
Yikes
I'm not in love with the coco. Forgettable alt rock.
I am becoming more cynical with these albums. Nothing memorable here.
A classic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyfLhKeFe9U
All blended together
A lot of mediocre stuff. Lots of it.
Jaco Pastorius fretless bass playing is pretty cool, but nothing too interesting on this album. Took me about five tracks before I even realized it was him.
meh
lol
Its blues, its live, people are yelling. Probably a big deal for its time, but can't say its incredible.
Not my new favorite, maybe yours.
Low effort songs.
This album has like eight + slappers and is peak eminem. It pains me to let you know: I like this album.
Yikes
Some of these songs sound like they are off beat, or as if a specific drum is off beat. Sounds sloppy. I just can't get behind the weird 80's dance vibe.
Honestly not the strongest album, but I love the sound of S&G and there are at least three SLAPS on this album that hold weight to this day.
Sounds like other albums we've listened to before. Avant-garde just to be different, no real musical direction. No style. Couldn't pick this band out in the crowd.
meh ok
Big shaq.
Boom.
Ya dun now.
Quik maths
Funny stuff, two stars for the novelty.
No memorable songs.
A fine album, nothing special when taken at face value, but cool to think that this was the emergence of a new genre of jazz that was more subdued than bebop. Kind of Blue is much more memorable, but this was fine. Three stars.
I'll do the chicken fajitas please.
Black please
Flour.
Thank you!
Couldn't get past the first two songs YIKES
Bold as love is my favorite Hendrix song. I cannot believe he can play that song and sing at the same time. Fantastic album from front to back.
A slapper of the album. Your time is gonna come is a very under rated song.
Award winning, Grammy nominated, shop tunes album
I like Lorde. None of these were slaps, but was fine to listen to. Interesting. She's got a distinct style.
Dad used to play these songs all the time. Stan Getz. Hate them all. Brazilian Bosanova and shove it
Talking heads can also shove it
I bopped to this
I just cannot get behind this Talking-heads-esque music. Track 1 is the only highly listened to song on this album and it sounds exactly the same for nearly six minutes. Track two sounds identical to the talking heads. These songs go nowhere and have no "peaks and valleys". Could not finish.
First song = classic youtube/reels song.
Could not make it past song three.
This album is one of my favorites. It has a fantastic alternative rock style which combines low-effort musicianship with mature song writing. Has this free feel which I really like. Cut Your Hair is a classic ear worm. Stephen Malkmus is the Bob Dylan of mid 90's alt rock---if you can get over his terrible voice there's some great songs.
First song hit so hard---love the stooges. But the rest were kind of bland. You could see the wheels turning, but their next album, Raw Power, has much better songwriting. Right here its just somewhat forgettable protopunk.
Changed the world...but not in this album.
This is my favorite robert zimmerman album
Strong two star. Nothing terribly memorable, but some interesting songs there.
What's not to like about this album? The Golden Slumbers -> The End is one the most fantastic endings to album of all time, Harrison gets more songwriting time on this album with two slaps: Something and Here comes the sun.
Also worth noting: we previously listened to A Hard Day's Night, which came out in 1964. This album, five years later, is completely unrecognizable from that era of Beatles. Five years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Name another band which had such a rapid career arc. You can't!
A pretty nice album.
Dont remember a single song
Never have gone through and listened to the whole thing. Quite a few good songs on here.
What the fuck is this
I thought this was going to a Pyromania level album, but it turned out to be a bit of a dud. Was excited for the mega-shop-tunes. Still not terrible.
Unexpected Gem, one of the first from this list.
This album has Rolling Stone and that's it. Kind of a stinker. Rolling Stone is absolutely iconic though, and still slaps to this day.
100% trash throw it away
Weak three, strong two. The first song was a slap, but the rest is meh. Not a Dolly fan, but I appreciate her.
What a unique sounding album, still has an awesome vibe years later. About 10 good songs on this album, although it is a bit of a stamina fest. Train in vain is just a classic. Weak five, strong four.
Jumping the shark without Garfunkel. A few fun songs here, but has the 80's garbage sound.
Strongest five I can give. Every song on this album is fantastic. Coldplay had such a fantastic style. I still listen to this album regularly. If you all dont give it a five I will judge you. Can't wait to see the 3 star meh in group ratings after I submit this.
Weaker than other Rush albums, but still quite good.
Can't believe people really liked this band.
Very weak 3 star, stronger two star.
I saved this to liked albums on spotify and will listen to it in the future, however I started getting tired of it by the end of the album. The first song is an absolute banger, and frustrations is something we all can agree with:
"The frustrations of a young man...we get ambition to build house to buy car. Marry wife and and enjoy life.....you gotta borrow borrow beg beg till you die."
Frustrations of a young man in Seattle with 900k dump houses.
Weak four. I'm a sucker for world music.
Fast car is a slap, but the rest of these are not doing it for me. Strong two star.
Yuck man
Strong two, weak three. I can't really get on board with the Pixies, but have tried. Wave of mutilation, here comes your man, monkey gone to heaven, and hey are OK songs...but just OK. The rest are flat out junk.
A few good songs. The fun style of Sly gives this album a week three, instead of strong two.
No thanks, weak two star. I made it three songs in I couldn't do more.
This is a slapper album, and the album that completely changed the way people play lead guitar. Fuzz pedals, wahs, classic style. Clapton's finest work. I've listened to this album a lot over the years and I think all songs are quite good
I just don't get the Band. Tried to listen a few times. This album has some songs that i've heard before, know of, and think are ok, but its so ho-hum I can barely finish. Just sounds like hipster music from 1969. Very grateful dead vibe with no jam band/guitar work. Weak 3.
A bunch of songs that blend together. A listenable live album. Nothing, in my opinion makes this live album very special. Nothing out of the blue. Three really good songs on this album: The amazing journey/sparks, summertime blues, young man blues. Weak three.
A classic, grimey hip hop album that changed my perspective on hip hop. I've listened to this album hundreds of times. Five stars easy.
Meh. I do like the sound but none of the songs really kicked it off for me. weak three, strong two.
Dog shit.
Mild album. Has some songs I know of. Three biggies? Not my style though. Three star.
Several good songs on this album followed by hard-snare slap-bass low-effort punk and two Hendrix covers. Three stars
Fantastic.
I didn't like or hate this album. It was just boring. Very weak three.
Meh....all songs blend together. Bland dance music. Distinct style. Weak three, strong two.
Two OK songs. Why is "the band" so revered?

Meh meh
Meh
A pretty dang good album. Billy Joel does good. Four good songs, four stars.
this album just bops. Old school soul beats from Kanye.
I've come to like this album over the years, but never have really enjoyed it. That being said, its good. I think Faust arp is my favorite song on the thing. Give me OK computer, the Bends, or Pablo honey any day.
Strong two star. Two good songs, maybe three. This is the new brian rating system
1 good song = 1 star
Stink, STANK, STUNK. What was memorable about this? Just a product of its time?
This is all on one album. Unbelievable. A Classic. So many of the sleeper songs are bangers too.
Stay with me only good song? Should I do them rotten on the new brian system? 1 star for one good song? I'll give it two.
Enjoyed listening to this whole thing. The switching from acoustic, to rock is awesome. Good voice. Tasteful guitar work and leads. Bluesy and modal interlinking. Do you feel like we do is an absolutely jam banger.
Trash, Jackass, Trash
Way too long, couldn't get over the young vs vanzandt shit, mediocre songwriting. Terrible introduction to this band (and Jason Isbell) for the Salt Disciples.
Me like this album.
Strong two? First song: 600 million listens, the rest, sub ten. That's a good indicator of stinky album. Tapped out at song 6
I've listened to this album probably a hundred times. I love each song.
Zero good songs, but not annoying to listen to. Two stars.
Fat lady wrestlers an ok song. Wouldn't listen again though.
Three bangers on this album and the rest are not bad. A strong four.

Two maybe three good songs, but the two are very good, unique in style, and classics. Rest of the album: meh.
Probably five MEH songs on this entire album of thirty songs? One of the best of all times.
I think i liked this more than other old country albums.
Thundercat is all over To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar, didn't realize it. Thought that Kendrick was the originator of the sound of that album, but obviously I now know its Thundercat. All of that being said, I really didn't care for this stuff too much. I thought that it was musically creative, but its lack luster without k dot on top. Three star.
Banger album. All good stuff.
Two good songs, I had a hard time getting through the rest.
This album is kinda boss. I really enjoy Steward Copeland's drumming. Both synchronicity's are surprising gems that got no radio airplay. King of Pain pretty good. Two other classics on there with every breathe you take and wrapped around my finger. All in all, this is probably a strong four although there are some sewer-level tracks on here.
Can't click DNL, but i can imagine this is a 1 star. I've now listened to two different rob steward albums on this list and have not enjoyed.
Lazy 60's almost psychedelia album
T'was okay. Didn't remember a damn thing.
This album was fun for ten minutes and then it stopped being fun.
Two banger songs and then a bunch of meh. Half of this album is missing. Imagine being on the board of trustees for Fats Domino's estate and saying....nah we can't figure out how to license these songs from 1957 like you got some hidden gem.
They can't all be zingers. 90's purgatory music.
So excited to give this album a one. People think this is creative because they made indie girl music with beats, and had their dogs bark in the background. This album is coffee shop background noise. No thanks!
Is this the clash without hits? Yes. Not bad.
Its almost like a parody of the times. Didn't hold up well.
Forgettable non-offensive jazz album. People really love TM, and i have yet to jive.
message in a bottle but the rest is unmemorable.
When I was younger I really didn't like this album, but there's at least eight good songs on this album. Many are much better live.
There is a reason why people do not make music like this anymore.
Album was nearly entirely belting and soul-sister singing.
Dirrty = slapper
intro = got me hype to go back in time
beautiful = pretty good
20 songs = too long
This album is WWE rock and roll. What is the big deal about kiss? One good song, not as bad as some of the other albums we've listened to: solid set in stone 2 star.
Not good not bad, fun live music, James Brown was a baller
Man i'm a sucker for springsteen. Maybe a boomer. I enjoyed this.
No, no no no nono NO.
No
Didn't age well, but some slaps.
Favorite Neil Young album, by far.
look out mama there's a white boat coming down the river
Mariah carey fantasy> Tom Tom Club Genius of love
First half very strong, last half, unmemorable. A good three.
Ho-Hum except the opener. Strong two week three.
Never understood SY. This was...ok. LOW three. Kool thing an ok track, the rest sounded too cool and hipster for me. I guess this is one of those "you should have heard it at the time" albums.
This is a nice album, q-tip has always had a cool voice and flow, but by no means should this be in the top 1000. This isn't anywhere close to landmark, and just seems out of touch with what is important/good/definitive in hip hop.
Three for the album, but absolutely baffled this is on the list.
This is three star not because of how good it is musically, but because of how OUT there it is. This is Jazz that Miles Davis created out of thin air, with no direction, no theme, but real musical complexity that is undeniable from the perspective of "art".
holy crap
Yeah this is a good album and we like it
A boring smiths? High two stars?
Masterpiece.
One good song and no other memorables?
Weak three. Honestly...not many good songs on this album. Maybe three? Goes to show that the sum of the beatles was greater than their parts.
This has to be peak Wilco. The song writing and creativity on this album is high level. Lots of interesting sounds, use of dynamics, many different instruments. Beach boys-esque sans harmonies. However, the album really lacks gusto. Much prefer the live versions of the songs as seen on "kicking television" weak five.
I was really hoping this album would be a good one that I hadn't listened to before. This is hot trash surrounded by two absolute slappers. This group had so much good style and talent, how did the b sides suck so badly?
Anthem of early high school and middle school. This album goes so hard, and is filled with non-radio hits. Peters out in the end. However, I can't say I don't feel "power chorded out" by the end of this album. Its really simplistic. Still fun.
One of the most baller of all time.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN
Weak 3 star. Three good songs, the rest is barf dude.
Its amazing that big slaps can be on this album, interspersed with lazy trash songs. The doors sound tastes like a microwaved cheeseburger. You know that there's something great about it but it just doesn't live up to its potential
I had never listened to this album and had high hopes. Cash is timelessly cool, and that still comes off during this recording. Lots of banter, hollering by inmates. What a cool setting. That being said, after a few song I was pooped of listening to what seemed to be the same song over and over again. Another negative: his voice goes limp like five songs in and he starts begging for water. Strong two, weak three.
Wow we were so lucky to be able to listen to this album.
Listened to this album 1001 times. Five star.
Bruh how do people listen to this whole thing?
This was my last album before the great hiatus.
I have no mercy anymore.
This is new Brian. I will one good song = one star.
Some good songs on this album, but how do people listen to a full album of this? A car commercial...sure....but one hour?!
This album sounds really thin and has some of the most unimaginative drumming of all time. No clue how this band got so big. This sounds terrible.
Hard five on this album. I've listened to it many times. The lesser known songs are just as good as the "hits". Marakesh express is the only one I can't get behind.
A few bangers on here that I've heard before, but the in between wasn't that good.
Imagine swallowing four gold coins and then looking at your shit a day later. This is in utero. Four great songs: rape me, heart shaped box, dumb, all apologies, the rest: lazy noise punk songs and ca ca
This album barely makes the 5 star criteria with five good songs. Take a bow, Starlight, Invincible, Knights of Cydonia, map of the problematic. Muse certainly has a sound and it is really well produced in this album. A lot of shit on this album though....wish they had more material from this era.
Sounds like a shag carpet
There's a lot to like about iggy pop on this album.
I wish i could like this album. I've heard lots about it. I've tried to listen to it before. I made it all the way through this time, and it really didn't do it for me.
Do you realize that this album is ho-hum?
2-3 stars, depending on how you wanna compare it to some of the stinkers on this list.
Dont Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova are some of the best rock anthems of all time. Its funny to me that Wonderwall gets so much press from this album.
I can't think of any song I don't listen to on this album, although Cast No Shadow is weak.
Oasis were just fantastic, chord driven song writers. Great melodies that you can sing all day. This is one of my more five star albums of all time.
Very boring inoffensive rock. How'd these guys get a record deal?
Guitarist apparently disappeared. Probably for the better.
Mega ASS
This album is marvelously produced, has so many layers, goes from quiet to soft , and is overall sonically rich.
The pumpkin's songwriting is so melodic. Without a doubt the most gifted songwriting of the grunge era.
Corgan's voice pairs perfectly with fuzz distorted guitars.
Tasteful use of feedback.
Guitar solos are well crafted, non-virtuoso, and designed for melody enhancement rather than showmanship.
Mayonnaise still hits hard.
Is there a good Stone's album? Does this really deserve to be on the list? Is there a Stone's album that's chock full of hits or is completely listenable for its entirety? Maybe I'm not boomer enough, but having two slappers dispersed into snoozers is not indicative of a good album. Rather, it seems as if the Stone's longevity is due to the consistent release of one or two fantastic songs on each album. I'm not denying their talent, just that this album deserves to be on here when many other albums are more complete and polished.
This is a 2/5 for two good songs.
Lol start! is a blatant rip off of Taxman. Yikes album
How the fuck do you go from Cult of Personality to the rest of this album? CoP is one of the biggest bangers, cool time signature stuff, cool guitar playing, great singing....and then you make the rest of this album.
It doesn't matter if people tell me this album is important because its the original punk album. There is so much wrong with it, it was hard to listen to. One dang star. My face after listening to this is the same as the guy's face on the album cover.
1 star for kick out the jams
For some reason sounds so much repetitive to me than other rap. Some of these beats feel like torture listening to.
Couldn't make it through the album.
Decidedly meh album.
Can really hear Brian and Freddies uniqueness which gives it the queen "sound" but the songs kind of stink. Seven seas of rhye is a good song, but the only one on the album that is memorable. The album art is classic.
One good song = one star.
I'll bump it up to two stars for album art and musicality.
Rad album.
Never listened to hand of doom before. The end was awesome with the dynamics.
PUSH THE NEEDLE IN
FACE THE SICKLY GRIN
HOLES ARE IN YOUR SKIN
I listened to this album for about ten minutes, read the global reviews which were overwhelmingly positive, and then tried to go back and listen to the rest of the album. I can't do it, i'm sorry, this just doesn't do it for me.
This album sounds like what fruitloops taste like.
So many good tracks on this album created by Kanye. Sidestory on it is hilarious too. Eminem murdered you on your own track. Firmly cemented Jay-Z as a top dog.
I like this album, but probably only because I grew up with it. Really depressing at times.
Ugh
Not good, not terrible. Has a few well known, but not as good as it could get as ATCQ
Meh
OK Album. Had it on in the background. Two good songs. Rest sounds exactly like I would expect it to. No surprises.
This is the album you turn on in February after three months of cold dark Seattle rain with no end in sight.
Certified absolutely classic.
I like this album
yes
