PJ HarveyJust phenominal alt rock. Love it.
Just phenominal alt rock. Love it.
It may be just stolkholm syndrome, but I loved it. If it weren't for the Confederate flag on the cover I could see myself putting it on! Loved the feel of being in the studio with them like a really intimate concert. Love the bass, love the banjo, love the fiddle. Top marks minus one for the hate symbol
This is the first album that felt really truly ahead of its time. This feels like post rock. This is soothing and amazing. Five stars.
This album has my first ever favorite song from when I was five. How can I not rate it five stars.
Favorite Song: Tuesday Heartbreak Familiar Songs: Superstitious Notes: Love the funky 70's synth, and the vocals are just so clean throughout. Very fun album.
Layla was the only song I recognized and easily my favorite. The whole album isn't too bad, bluesy and catchy, but not really my bag.
Uh Oh. According to The Good Place I might go to hell for this one. I knew two songs off of this, Under the Bridge and Suck My Kiss. Under the Bridge is easily the big standout from this album. I'm just not in love with the rap singing from the rest of the album. The bass and guitar are solid for sure, the rest is not much to write home about.
Our lips our sealed is great, and we got the beat is a ton of fun. Those are the only two songs I recognized. I feel like most of the album felt a little lacking, could have used more varied musical elements. Still a solid pop album
It was fine. It bet in person it would blow me away, but at normal volumes it just wasn't that interesting
Every song is interesting! The lyrics are interesting on every song though occasionally stretched to make a rhyme work. I had never heard any of the songs on the album. Very 80s synth but in the best way. So much variation in instrumentation! I LOVE this album! My favorite song was Horsing Around mostly because of the brass
It's turning out rock isn't always my thing, it's generally too simplistic for me, relying more on attitude and tamber than melodic interest. I enjoy the singing but it fails to hold my attention
I mean, it's the Beatles, it slaps. Such nice progressions and interesting layered vocals over top. I recognize All My Loving, but all the songs are approximately equally good.
High Quality Big Band! What's not to love! It had to be you in the only song I recognize, and not this version, but it's great!
I should have known I would love Dylan. Lots of varied interesting musicality going on immediately! I recognize Like a Rolling Stone and it's of course trancendant.
Uh Oh. Country. Alright, lets see if I find something to enjoy here. Yes. Quite a lot. Aside from the steel guitar, most of the instrumentation is very nice, the fiddle gets a little whiney in places, but the layered melodic harmonies are quite lovely. Both Last of the True Believers and Love at the Five and Dime I would listen to again, St. Olaf's gate was terrible. Just stereotypical country. Then so was most of the rest. I liked One of These Days. Would have been a 4 or 5 star album without steel guitar. Instead it's 3.
Yes! Rock with interest! The Dialect alone makes this more interesting than ZZ Top or Black Sabbath. On Second thought it turns out I just like the punk aesthetic more than rock. Still fails to hold my interest through the whole album, though there are significantly more standouts. London Calling is a great track and Lost in the Supermarket made me perk up and pay attention.
I love folk rock! This is amazing! I love the Built to Spill vibes. Darkness Darkness is such a DnD song, Smug was great, On Sir Francis Drake was a fire jazz track, love this. Great listen, start to stop.
I'm not even sure how to describe this, only that it gives me classical feels and that it's fascinating in the best way
This album is likely the most played radio Christmas album. I suspect if these songs were 5 or less years old I would think this is a five star album. Instead it's 35 and has been played to death. Still deserves four stars
How have I missed this! Masterful. Will be listening again. The Queen is dead, long live the Queen! (Charles can get bent)
Such an interesting voice. Costello always manages to write interesting melodies. Oliver's Army is a fascinating standout. As was Peace Love and Understanding, the two songs I'd heard off the album. The overall tambre and his voice bring the album down a star for me, but still a great listen.
Some brilliant beautiful lyrical standouts and some glorious blues throughbacks. Great album.
strong start! Love the strummed guitar and drum tambre. Starting to be over this raw vocals trend. I could use some polish. After listening to the whole album, the voice really turns me off. The first and last songs save it from a two star rating
After the frou frou rock of Black Sabath and ZZTop it feels awesome to hit some rock with some WEIGHT. Let's GO! It's fascinating to listen to this after Blood Sex Sugar Magic, because the rap against the rock background is similar, Rage just raps infinitely better. Yeah, that's the stuff.
This was just really solid. Loved every song. Great listen.
I will like this if there is no steel guitar. God damn it, song 2 steel guitar. 2 stars.
I know another Brick in the Wall and Happiest Days of Our Lives, and they're fine. This may have been ground breaking at the time but feels a little pedestrian now. Maybe it's just social commentary on a time I never experienced. Oh wow okay. Goodbye Blue Sky alone elevates this album way more than I realized. So I was wrong. You need the whole journey. This was epic. I take it back. It was mostly just Goodbye Blue Sky and Comfortably Numb. Still those two get this album three stars.
Oh hell Yeah! Been waiting for some Paul and Andrew! I already know Scarborough Fair, Homeward Bound and Feelin' Groovy, guranteed four stars even if the rest aren't worth it. A Simple Desultory Philippic is a hilarious Dylan impression and I love it. Wow. I did not expect 7 O'clock News/Silent Night to come in so hard. Geez. 5 Star album.
Here is where unpolished vocals shine! when accompanied by grungy guitar! I can get behind this! That was fun, wasn't the most interesting thing ever, but I would listen again in the right party space.
Oh goodness I hope I like this. I feel like Pretty Hurts is trying to making a grand statement and I'm missing it. Okay, HAUNTED I get. Powerful. Geeze. I don't know if I've ever listened to a more danceable album. I expected vapid pop. The time changes! The key changes! The production value! wow. Haunted, Flawless, XO, Jealous, Blow, what a a great album!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES, I already listen to this album on repeat. Easy 5 stars, makes me want to retroactively go back and downgrade every other album, I have been being too generous with my ratings. Standouts include Bloodbuzz Ohio, Lemonworld, England, Vanderline Crybaby Geeks, Terrible Love, and Little Faith. And the rest of them.
I wasn't too impressed, nothing really caught my attention. Didn't turn me off either, but there aren't any songs I can point to as standouts
I love Take me out, lets see if anything else is as catchy. Oh good! Yes it is! Maybe this tambre will also be insufficient to hold me later, but right now it's arresting. The musical interest is more than present, this is a banger. I'm tempted to dock it a star for not being as transcendent as High Violet, but if I keep rating the same, this is an easy five stars.
I appreciate the message, but none of it really commanded my attention. Don't know that I would choose to put any of the tracks on, but I think the message is important and the vehicle is effective. Rating it musically I'm going to go three stars. On a philosophical rating system it would be higher
I might like this more through sheer familiarity. Take it Easy is such a classic. Unfortunately, the rest wasn't really my vibe. Still not a bad listen.
This is the most interesting album from this list yet. I'm so into this. 5 Stars. The end of Ancestors guttural retching was so hard to listen to I nearly docked a star, but not quite.
New Most dancable album. Glorious.
Classic rock really needs to bring interrest with the vocals before I like it. Where Black Sabbath and ZZTop failed, AC/DC rises in glory. Highway to Hell rocks hard.
Chain of Fools and a Natural Woman? Five stars.
Another powerful important album that I just don't resonate with musically. I wish I could rate this higher, but I just don't want to listen to it.
I was expecting more. Most of the songs were interesting, but none of them really stuck a hook into me. Still cool enough for four stars
That was interesting! Really loved the instrumentation and Indian influence. Less fond of the painfully 90's electronica.
Seems like a nice little folk album. Not a bad listen at all. Nothing particularly captured me, but it was pleasant.
The writing is okay, extremely objectifying though, I did not enjoy how the women in this album aren't really acknowledged as people with voltion. The instrumentation feels aged too.
Brilliant. Evocative and beautiful throughout.
I enjoyed the beats, but on reflection would not listen to the album again.
When the dice rolls a 5 stars you sit back and enjoy.
I think the most astounding this is album his how many songs got airplay. It's not quite my vibe, but I cannot deny the mastery.
Yes please more hindi inspired music! ...correction, hindi music! Woo! How was I so wrong? Well reguardless of the origins, this rocks hard. So danceable, so aware, so activist, just wonderful!
Fun album! Would listen again. Holds interest for sure!
Lovely album. A little low key for me, but very smooth
Groovy!
Truely magical song writing chops. Not sure how they do it with such simple constraints. Gorgeous
I now feel awful for rating Risque so low, Chic are disco masters and I did not know what I was listening to. Disco is not my jam, but this is some of the best out there.
That was awesome! I could definitely listen to that one all the way through and be happy
Ooh! I know so much about Blur but have never listened to an album of theirs, exciting! I can hear the lineage, but their particular tambre is not for me.
What great sound! None of the melodies in this one blew me away, but I completely understand the draw
Very punk sound! Tinge of blues sensibilities, very cool, not my thing.
Industrial 80's sound is cool, unlike any of the songs. Would not listen again
This album is Ace of Spades followed by an hour and a half of might-as-well-be-Ace-of-Spades. Might listen again.
Some really delightful standards in a really delightful voice. What a great album
That was okay. The 80's sound was nice and the melodies and instrumentation were solid, but the vocals were off in a way thaht just wasn't interesting. Don't think I would listen again.
Ooh! Groovy! Turns out I am a complete sucker for vocal harmony. I should have known. very solid. nothing transcendent. four star album. Would listen again.
Such diverse sound! Such interesting synth and back in the 70's! Amazing! Five stars.
What fun! I like this a lot! I could only listen to half of the album on youtube, but what was there was great!
Oh Rock OUT girl. YES. Five Stars.
Captivating! So interesting and mournful. Enough high octane to keep me high energy and grooving throughout
Speak King! What amazing production! I dig the dialect hard. This is great.
That was fun! Nothing mind blowing but a good listen all the same.
Such raw sound! I feel the emotion. Cool aesthetic for sure. Only Trigger Cut really stood out, but still very pleasant. Four Stars
Amazing how much recognition can improve your enjoyment. There Goes the Fear sparked joy and New York increased it. Probably still only a four star album. Moments of greateness.
I don't enjoy the style of yell rapping and if anything besides proud to be black made any sort of important statement it went over my head. At least it didn't seem harmful. Really not my thing. 3 stars.
I expected to be a little bored outside of Sweet Emotion and maybe Walk this way, but that was actually a lot of fun! Varied, bluesy, consistently well paced and phrased. Much better than expected. Five Stars.
Gotta love a Harpsichord! Most of the album felt light and fun, Revelations would probably be awesome live, but here felt like a bit of a slog.
I did not realize just how many songs I would know of this album. This has got to be top notch. I mean eruption alone!
Bluesy and such a weird vocal choice. It was good I guess.
It's like The Bangles decided they were edgy. I like it!
Well. Now I understand the memes. New album when?!?! I need mooooooore. So good.
I already know so many clever political songs from this album, very curious to hear the whole thing! That was awesome. That felt like Rage Against the Machine levels of righteous fury. Five stars
I expected to love it, but only the piano break down really stood out. I was disappointed. Three stars
What fun! A little self similar but very engaging!
Masterful. So smooth, so jazzy, so soulful. That was great.
The album was nice but nothing really blew me away. Good easy listening. Four stars.
Just phenominal alt rock. Love it.
So many awesome stand out songs. Enough filth mixed in to dock it a star, but definitely will be listening to All Day Love Affair and Childz Play again
This is another one where I think if I were listening to it fresh it might not impress me, but so many of these songs I know by heart. It can't not be at least four stars
I can understand how some people would like that. But man what a drag.
Hate to Say I told you so and Main offender would put any album to at least four stars. A treat. Short sweet. Hard hard rock. That was awesome. Five stars.
If any band was meant to have their live versions heard, it's Deep Purple. Highway Star and Smoke on the Water Alone.
Okay, this is cooool. Obvious five stars for atmospheric instrumental jazz with just enough synth to keep you on your toes.
So I now know not what is the Smiths and what is Morrissey. I just like the voice okay?
Love the themes, love the direction of musicality, not too fond of the flow.
Liked the jazz, nothing really grabbed me.
I know that must have been cool at and groundbreaking int he 70's, but ow my ears. No thank you.
Not what I expected, but very pleasant! Four stars.
I didn't know I knew this one! What a good song! Wow. That May have been the best guy and his guitar album I've ever heard. So nice!
I want to love Leonard Cohen. His lyrics are inspired, his poetry amazing, but his music has never captured me outside of Hallelujah. I'm hoping this album can enchant me. It was decent! It did not blow me away like I would have liked. I'm teetering between three and four stars.
I don't get why this album is on the list. What is special about Dylan's live performance? I just don't feel it. I like his studio albums, this is just fine.
The smoothest sexiest progressive rock album of all time? Yes. Make me emote Johnny. Make me feel.
That was a very solid rock album. Turns out I'm just not that into southern rock.
I was really enjoying the album, I was prepared to give a very high rating, then the album ended and spotify played me WuTang and MF Doom and made this album look pedestrian. I really enjoyed the production and flow and some of the woke themes, but this is no masterpeice.
Nice solid listen. Enjoyed my time with this smooth pretty album
This is great! Punk pop is such a vibe! It's kind of funny the most kitschy song off the album is the one that caught on. I like it all.
Sting can really croon you know? That was great. Message in a Bottle is a classic and Reggatta De Blanc was cool. Loved contact too.
Punk lives! Beautiful.
I don't know if I'm loving this because I had to google it to find and listen to it, or because I would be loving it regardless. Either way, this is amazing!
I don't like country, but she enchanted me on Live from Here. I am prepared to love this. It was enchanting. Kacey tells really poignant stories. If I liked country this would be a five star album.
I don't get why people like Madonna. She has the worst kind of nasal vibrato, just not pleasant. The first two tracks are interesting enough to save this album, but just barely.
I've always known Maggie Mae was a bop, but it's awesome to learn od goes hard sometimes. Great listen.
This was really cool. I don't think I'm ever going to revisit, but I'm glad I gave it a listen. I can definitely understand how this industrial style electronica was influential.
This would have been a fun concert. I don't know that I want to listen to it that much after the fact. I can understand how this would be been revolutionary at the time.
I enjoyed that! Instrumentally it wasn't my favorite, but would listen again
Great 60's sound. Loved the bluegrass meets pop feel. Would listen again
So smooth! Amazing. Would put on again.
Much like Bowie and Cohen, I really want to love Beck. While I do like it more than them, it's not in a genre I love, too subdued a lot of the time.
Astounding! What arresting sound! It feels cool and dark and frenetic and wonderful. Even two songs in and I have a hard time imagining not loving the rest of the album. And I loved it.
I don't think I would love this as much if I wasn't brought up on it as a classic. But I was, so I do love it. Four stars probably from nostalgia and familiarity.
Lovely sound! I hate the repeated tracks though, this isn't a deluxe edition or anything! No thank you.
Well that was something. Was it music? Maybe? Was it ahead of its time? I hope not. It felt like it wanted to be Throbbing Gristle and that's not a compliment. But does feel like it was on purpose, so I'll give it that.
See now this, this takes the madness of Scuicide or throbbing Gristle and makes MUSIC. This was so much fun and though slightly off-putting in parts, felt worth it!
The BRASS. Gotta love brass in a band. Most of the lyrics sailed right past my ears, but I enjoyed every song on the album with brass
Today I learned take a load off Annie is called The Weight. These guys effected music way more than I knew.
When I was a young boy I heard Seven Nation Army but didn't know who it was or what it was called. It stuck itself in my head so thoroughly that I spent a decade trying to find it. When I found it I listened to it on repeat for a week. This has biased me so much that no matte what else is on the rest of the album, it's five stars. It does help that I loved the rest.
This felt like proto-ska! I loved the whole thing. Anything rock adjacent with brass is wonderful to me.
Once again I want to love Bowie, but nothing is standing out as extraordinary. It's solid and pleasant, but I don't know why I would choose to put it on.
It may be just stolkholm syndrome, but I loved it. If it weren't for the Confederate flag on the cover I could see myself putting it on! Loved the feel of being in the studio with them like a really intimate concert. Love the bass, love the banjo, love the fiddle. Top marks minus one for the hate symbol
What a magical experience. Love the Irish brouge, love the hard synth, love the angst. This is what emo wishes it could evoke
Thom Yorke on a pj Harvey album?!? Sign me up!
The parallel vocal harmonies have always been wonderful. It may just be needing to go to youtube to listen to the tracks Young authored skewing my view, but Nothing truly grabbed me. Still a good listen, would listen again.
Wait, Don't Stop 'Til you Get Enough is Michael Jackson?!? Okay, the King of pop is even better than I thought. This is a great album. Since pop is not my thing I would normally rank this four stars, but the opening track is good enough to elevate to five
Easy five stars. Amazing Salsa. Love it.
Yes. More jazz please. That was Awesome. Will listen again.
Okay, covers in Cash's voice is a cheat code. This is amazing.
So I love British rock. this should not come as a surprise. This album was wonderful.
This is the first album that felt really truly ahead of its time. This feels like post rock. This is soothing and amazing. Five stars.
Another Album I've listened to on repeat. Easy Five Stars.
I probably won't listen to the album again, but I could see going back to make a connection.
It shows such promise, I just wish it were tighter and more polished.
This album has my first ever favorite song from when I was five. How can I not rate it five stars.
Before listeneing, I would have been very surprised if the rest of the album was boring enough to bring Two Weeks down to a four star album. After listening, I'm not even sure Two Weeks is the best song on the album. This album, much like Ultra Violet by the National and every album by radiohead, make me wish I had rated every other album lower because now I want six stars for them.
Take On Me is a transcendant song, and the rest of the album is very solid 80's synth pop. One of the best examples. I just don't much care for 80's synth pop, so four stars.
Now this is a punk sound. Unpolished in just he right way. It feels like the Ramones in a very good way.
What an increidble blues guitar. I can see why this guy is hailed as the best. Blues guitar is not my thing, but I could see myself putting it on.
There have been other albums that have stretched the definition of music, but I feel like they failed and just made noise. This is the album that successfully starched music while still making music. This feels mind expanding while still just being punk. I loved it.
Several great tracks, some dragged and got repetitive and weren't fun to listen, so might put it on, would not listen all the way through.
I wish I had better speakers for metal. The frenchness and the intro were nice, don't know that I'll be listening again.
I have memories of listening to this album at a friends house as a middle schooler. Back then we listened to for the naughty words. Now it's hard to get past the misogyny and hate. It's obvious it's having its intended effect. It's meant to be repulsive. But I don't like it. I feel like my mom. That was not fun.
Almost painfully 80's. I liked it.
That had some nice sound. Nothing I found groundbreaking. Might put it on, probably not.
The jazz albums included here never fail to awe and delight. What a spectacular soundscape. Amazing.
Highschool? Highschool. Let the Head-banging commence. Just at the right intersection of noise and music. So hard, but still musical.
It's hard to deescribe the inteeresting musicality of Bjork. It was well worth the listen whatever the hell it was
If it weren't for the episode of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History I probably wouldn't enjoy this album. As it is I'm gonna love it. Jesus that was blistering political commentary. That was tough to get through. It was powerful enough that it gets four stars, but I will not be listening again.
Middleschool me would have absolutely adored this album, which is tragic as It was out then. As it is I don't really care for his voice. That makes this album a middling affair to me.
Cool prog rock! That was probably mindblowing back in 71. Don't see myself putting it on again.
That was an adorable album. Nice and gentle but still interesting. I liked it a lot.
Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes and Won't get Fooled Again are all from the same album?!? Sign me up! Classic rock at its best.
I can get the appeal, there was some really great production in there. But I felt gross listening to it. Will not listen again.
I get it. This is Bowie. This is awesome. This is weird and beautiful and I finally love it like I've always wanted to love it. Would listen again.
I wish more artists would do this. I love it so much. This album is incredible.
American Girl is such a classic it makes me like the whole album in retrospect.
yes yes yes yes. This a call is such an amazing intro to what this will be. Every song rocks.
That wasn't unpleasant. But I do not understand why this band took off.
I understand the appeal. The rap is kinetic, it feels like another layer of percussion. The lyrics have a little flow and I like the power fantasy, the black empowerment. I could even forgive the violence. What I cannot support is the misogyny. Can we please stop punching down and objectifying?
Hanger 18 is amazing. This is metal I can get behind, not offputting at all
This was pleasant. Nothing really had a big impact on me, but it was a pleasant listen.
Strangely powerful political statements wrapped up in a punk pop aesthetic. Yes please.
Undeniably classic, referenced and recognizable. It's a shame is so juvenile.
The Prince of pop rides! Great album. Not necessarily my thing, but what a bop
That was really cool
After Blood Sex Sugar Magic I wasn't expecting much, knew there would be some standout highlights, but they really impressed me. Much less of trying to force a rap career and elevated musicality. The whole album hit right.
That was cool and interesting. I imagine it was groundbreaking in 73. Today it still stands up but is no longer mindbending
That was a passable album. Could listen all the way through. I'm unlikely to ever reach for it.
Ooh, what a masterpeice. I will always enjoy another relisten. Such a unique sound
I'm afraid I didn't catch any of the lyrics outside of the spoken samurai story, but I loved the beats and Afro-Samurai is such a cool aesthetic.
I was surprised by how little and impression this album left. I like R.E.M. a lot, so many of their songs are great and memorable, but this album was just okay.
That was really cool. Varied and interesting throughout. I will definitely be listening to more Suede
A yes, Radiohead's magnum opus as the best British Guitar Band ever before their transition to the greatest band of all time as a prog rock band. Stellar listen start to finish, easy five stars.
Such sweet sentiments in a pretty little package. This feels l like high folk and it's pretty great.
Just nice hard rock, lovely punk feminist aesthetic.
That felt proto-post rock, just with synthesizers. I quite liked it. Very chill
I think I just love the smiths. I guess Morrisey has to be such a jerk to make some mean music.
That was cool and interesting. The amateurish vocals put me off and it dragged in the middle, but otherwise great.
Great distorted soundscape, got a little samey and boring in the middle
Such unexpectted diversity in sound, incredible songwriting.
Tremendous pop album. Once again a delightful diversity of sound. I keep being surprised by the range of breakout 90's pop-rock bands.
Each song was interesting, but none of them grabbed me musically
I'm not really sure what the appeal is here. None of the songs grabbed me lyrically or musically. Pleasant enough but that is low praise
What fun! Great sound, love the African Jazz
Some wonderful production, awesome choices of topic and lyrics, but flow has come a long way since then.
Blends together a bit, but some great standout tracks. Apache will always slap. The bongos.
I don't think I'd like the Stones much if I didn't love specific songs for cultural reasons. None of them were on this album, didn't like i much.
I bet that was awesome dance music when it came out. Great rhythm. Not my style, not impressed with the musicality. Won't listen again.
I can see where Throbbing Gristle came from. They key difference is that this was cool and good, and that was noise. Still a few too many offputting tracks to want to play this through, but some gems I want to show off.
Disco has evolved! The best word is groovy! Awesome sax, awesome flute, awesome bass, awesome voice, what's not to love?
I'm still not sure I like the Stones, but there was enough familiar music I enjoyed that I enjoyed the album as a whole.
Folk Metal! Yes. What's not to love!
Yep, that sure is the blues. I can hear why Eric Clapton is so well loved. Not my thing.
That was pretty good bluesy jazzed. Don't know that I will be returning.
Some sublime moments between some baffling ones. I liked it a ton
What a great concept and what a great album! Love the voices, love the diversity, I was never bored and I was often delighted
Glorious metal. Great example of the genre. I don't care for the scream vocals but I still enjoyed the album.
I know half the songs on this album, I'm delighted to learn the rest! The Kings of prog rock!
My First Miles Davis Album! I'm excited! Okay, so real real jazz is a little much to me. Good to know. That was a lot. I bet I would love it in concert, but the listen was not great. Not something I'm eager to repeat.
What even is this? Electrorock? I love it! Reminds me of PJ Harvey in the best way. The first couple tracks go the hardest, but the rest of the album is still good.
It's Zeppelin, the live performance is the big deal, the music isn't bad but isn't revolutionary.
I'm surprised to learn George is the voice I associate most with The Beatles. I enjoyed that but nothing captured me.
Extremely danceable, some very cool sounds, if I liked house this would be a very hard hitter.
This is exactly what I want out of a 50's album, exactly the quintessential jazz band song experience I'm looking for. And what a voice! How did I not know Sarah Vaughan?
Truly the voice of the 20teens. Every track is worth a listen and the first two make the list of the top 1000 songs of the millenia if not ever.
Jazzy, great vocal cadence.
Now THIS is a good R.E.M. album. Actual interest and movement, great listen.
The dueling guitars, the imppecable vocals, the undeniable style, these guys are my lead zepplin, the performance that cannot be matched.
Thank goodness for Live From Here. Chris Thile introduced me to Everday People and goodness do I love it now. Amazing.
Such a fun and interesting album, Once in a Lifetime of course is the standout track and uplifts the whole
So many classics and in such an incredible voice. What's not to love
Such a great sound. Some of the early songs get a little samey. I'm surprised blackhole sun wasn't my favorite, the day I tried to live is an anthem
Aw man, you're gonna make me listen to swift? Alright, I'll give her a shot. Wow. Effortlessly classic. Such solid instrumentation and theming. Really nice structure. I wish I liked her voice more, but that's on me, there is nothing wrong with it. Might listen again
It was a bit much. It was hard to pick anything out from just the mad onslaught of sound. That said, the dialect and the momentum are stellar.
There's a reason the only hit from the album was the Denial Twist. It's not a bad album, but that's a transcendent song, and the rest is pedestrian. Still enough to elevate to another listen.
Well it went from middleschool edgy to highschool edgy. Still gross, but the production value really increased and the flow is sick. This one I don't mind listening to nearly as much. And the Real Slim Shady is truly amazing track, but on the other hand I don't want to meet someone who likes listening to Kim. No thank you.
Such a classic sound. This is exactly what I want out of a lounge singer album. Such great tone, such great band, loved it.
It took me three listens, but I loved it. King Crimson walked so Radiohead could run
We'll see if this is one of the boring Bowies are one of the great Bowies. Turns out it's his most approachable album with some real hits. Great listen.
Best produced hip-hop album yet. Aside from the borderline racist restaurant sketch, the tracks were a joy to listen. I did find myself wishing every voice was just Lauryn Hill
Some very solid tracks. With so many Bowie albums so close together they are starting to blur together in my mind, but I enjoyed the listen.
Wait, ALL those songs are from this album? Incredible. This is classic rock at its very finest. Easy five stars.
This is great. Smooth electronica with great beat and enough intrigue to keep your attention.
This felt like glam rock at its best. I really enoyed it.
Not a terrible blues album, not my thing
Classics sung well
Great album. If the draw was the stage presence and drama, then this must have been just the best live.
Very solid, some really nice sound.
The production is so danceable and catchy. I really admire when he lets everything drop away and the politics shine through. Amazing. That Good Day occurs in the middle of the album is a masterclass that redeems the rest of the violent album. "Nobody I know got shot in South Central LA, I gotta say, today was a good day" strums the heartstrings just right in the middle of the rest of this warcry. Removing one star for antisemetic apologetics. There is space for this message without hurting other minorities.
It was forgatable.
A Beautiful and delightfully sonorous "Moody little album".
Nice 60's rock. Exactly what I expect out of CCR. No true standout gems.
The produciton was great, the flow was nice. The message did not strike awe.
Proud Mary alone is enough to put this album on this list, and the rest is solid enough.
So last Tom Waits album, I didn't really get it. The gravel doesn't lend itself well to general music. This album? Perfect. It's a character actor voice. Here he plays a character on every song and it's genius.
Classic. Instant 5 stars. Every song a grunge masterpeice.
Very smooth, very nice. Nothing blew me away, but I could see myself giving another listen.
I don't know if I liked Enter Sandman and Nothing else Matters because I already know them, or if they are really the two standout songs from the album. It was a nice enough album, but did not make me a Metallica fan.
This sounds like an album from the early 90's, late 80's at the latest. Amazing this angular sound originates in the 70's. Love the alt rock vibe.
It was fine
Great 90's sound, very Maddening Crowd
Great Dylan album. THE great Dylan album. Tangled up in Blue sets the tone and he just keeps it there.
The Start of punk. So may classics. Great album.
Such simple but extraordinary concepts expressed so beautifully with such an arresting voice. This album hit me emotionally harder than any before. Anohni is truly amazing.
It was okay. Probably would be a good show.
That was beautiful and Interesting. Up with People fit the vibe so well.
there is no song more emblematic of sex than Let's Get It On. It's archetypal to the point of no longer being lowbrow. It is our shared language, and it is powerful, and it is glorious.
Sounds SO much like Anais Mitchel. It's gorgeous. What wonderful sound.
Very pleasant smooth jazz, feels like I'm listening to an early jazz master
some real stand out songs a surprisingly unique sound. Its a bit too dull for a whole album, but a song at a time it's wonderful.
Very solid hair metal album. Lots of fun!
Groovy! What's not to like? Nothing resonated so fiercely to call me to repeat listen, but it was an enjoyable ride. Might listen to the whole again.
That was the best, most approachable jazz album I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Will definitely be putting into rotation.
The title track is transcendent. The rest of the album is good, but feels low-key and unexciting. I expect I would feel differently if I had been around when it was released.
Nice hair metal album, enjoyable listen
Wow. I had no idea what a true cultural monument the Grateful Dead truly are. This is old school southern rock at it's absolute finest. I definitely would have been a dead head.
Finally! I've been waiting for Andre3000 since this list first had a rap album. I'm so glad they included the best of all time. Unfortunately I have to take a star off for the misogany.
Truly masterful. I don't know if this was their progrock or poprock era but I head elements of both and it all was amazing.
Zeppelin is good. I'm not sure I understand the hype, with the exception of Kashmir, none of the songs on the album were anything I would put on. I'm certain they would be amazing in concert, but I just don't see myself ever putting on a Zeppelin album.
I'm so glad I listened to that. There is such an obvious straight line from Lou Reed to Bob Dylan and in the opposite direction to the talking heads. That was magnificent, so familiar and unlike anything else. Brilliant.
I've already fallen in love with Nick Drake thanks to Pink Moon. If this is anything like that, I'm going to adore it.
If I didn't detest steel guitar, this would likely be a five star album. So approachable, beautifully simple and straightforward. Powerful voice, relatable topics, great album.
So funky, so smooth, incredible basslines driving weird ass internet tunes. Love it!
Gimme Shelter alone elevates this to at least four stars, and You Can't Always Get What You Want keeps it there.
This may be the most dance 80's album ever. It'ss a little much for me, but I cannot deny the mastery.
Interesting enough. Didn't really have enough musicality to make me want to listen again
Lovely. It feels timeless and elental. Masterpeice start to finish.
I wish I like this more. I like the genre, like the asthetic, like the ideas, but none of the songs captured me.
This was my favorite Neil Young album so far, enjoyed the groove
This was okay. I can see why it was a seminal work, but it has aged very poorly.
Classic, perfect jazz. Every track was great.
Seemed rather demure and listless, not sure I understand the hype. Maybe shoegaze requires more familiarity to enjoy.
Consistent Brit rock fun. Great listen. Will play again.
This goes so hard and hits so well.
Great Concert. A lot of fun. I'm not that into southern rock, but still enjoyed it.
Varried and interesting and whimsical and fun
That was a lot. That may have been novel and interesting at one point, but it felt like nothing I hadn't heard before and it wasn't musical enough to want to listen. Could be good at a seedy dance hall or as soundtrack, but really didn't enjoy that.
Riki Don't Lose that Number puts this album at at least 4 stars by itself
6 stars. Done and Dusted.
That was beautiful and important.
This is like if the Black Keys wrote interesting songs. Amazing.
I get it now. Every song a story, every song a bop. Amazing album.
Why? These guys can make music worth hearing, why would they make this? No thanks.
Oh wow. Bruce has ALWAYS had the old man voice. This is the sound I associate with classic rock. I never realized it was just Bruce. Whenever someone mentioned him I always wondered if I had ever even heard him. Yes. He's everywhere, I just didn't know. This feels like discovering the heart of classic rock. The Thing is, I cannot tell the difference between any of the songs. I feel like this album is one amazing song twelve times.
It was fine.
