You give me two 17 minute albums in a row and when I complain about it you give me a 3 hour 15 minute monstrosity, I see you 1001albumsgenerator.
Very very good voice but it’s not really doing anything for me

Possibly the whitest album I’ve ever heard. The kind of shit people listen to after searching pitchfork for “avant-grade music”. Weirdos.

I’m not smart enough to distinguish between this and elevator music
Funkadelic
4/5
Inspired, very easy to listen to and get lost in, best version of maggot brain I’ve heard
Fatboy Slim
2/5
Full of all the “hits” that people will recognise but then ask you to skip after 30 seconds, repetitive soulless junk.
Public Enemy
2/5
Didn’t really differentiate between songs
The Auteurs

Somewhere between Elliott smith and echo and the bunnymen, it’s not bad but didn’t really grab my attention

Bob Dylan

Just seems like run of the mill metal to me

2/5
Not really sure why this is in here, mediocre punk
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Preferred sticky fingers
JAY Z
2/5
A couple of ok tracks when he decides not to rap about getting bitches and “running the game”
Elliott Smith
3/5
It’s good songwriting, just gets a little one dimensional
Alice Cooper
3/5
Bit of a weird album, random jazz influences half way through, title track is a classic
R.E.M.
3/5
Didn’t really connect with this, nothing stood out
Leonard Cohen
2/5
Please no more Leonard cohen
Joe Ely
1/5
Might as well just be one big song about whatever the fuck a honky tonk is
Fever Ray
3/5
Some interesting stuff in here, felt fresh but much preferred the songs with he female vocalist, felt a bit samey towards the end
The Soft Boys
3/5
This album is too long for me to listen to but some of it I did listen to was ok
Elliott Smith
4/5
Good songwriting
Fela Kuti
3/5
Nice mix of jazz and funk but tails off after the first song
Megadeth
2/5
Couldn’t finish it, noisy and boring at the same time
Madness
3/5
It’s madness, I’ll come back in 10 years when I’m a 40 year old dad and see if I like it then
The Kinks
4/5
Really liked this, need to listen to more of them.
Dire Straits
4/5
Mostly really good, will relisten to see if I can pick out some of the songs I zoned out for, the guitar riff coming in on money for nothing is great
Steely Dan
4/5
Soft rock done perfectly, so listenable even if the last few songs fail to make an impression
Slipknot
2/5
Screaming just isn’t my thing
Scritti Politti
2/5
Didn’t get anything out of this

The least interesting Dylan album yet
Skepta
2/5
Not for me, every song sounds the same

2/5
Didn’t get into it at all, bland
Lana Del Rey
2/5
I don’t know why they chose this album, it’s nowhere near as good as her earlier stuff
Coldplay
3/5
Early Coldplay is very good, this album fades a little in the second half though, not quite as good as rush of blood
T. Rex
3/5
It’s ok, found myself singing along to quite a bit of it but I don’t remember any of it the next day
Radiohead
5/5
Top ten of all time, probably top 5.
Khaled
3/5
Not really sure I took all this in on the first listen, wildly different. Shocking cover of imagine though
Fugees
2/5
Not sure why some of these songs are so popular, dull
Digital Underground
2/5
Still not sure if this is a pisstake or not
The Go-Go's
3/5
Quite boppy, listened on the way to a stag do so forgot it really, need to relisten
The Clash
2/5
This is just underproduced noise, I’m sure a load of clever people will call it “raw”, no thanks
Shack
4/5
Never heard of them before, but really like this. Good energy, happy to instantly relisten. 3.5
Sly & The Family Stone
2/5
I don’t really know what this is but I don’t like it

3/5
Some classics on here, 3.5 great production
The Stone Roses
4/5
Really really liked this, will relisten many times
Fiona Apple
3/5
Just a bit weird init
The Birthday Party
3/5
Half of this was really good, other half was unlistenable noise
Doves
3/5
Listened twice, couple of really nice songs on there will give their other stuff a go, 3.5
Beatles
3/5
Musically very varied and it really shows how they have been influential, but as an album itself I feel some of the songs seem unfinished, rushed
Kraftwerk
2/5
Kraftwerk really isn’t my jam, shitey bleeps and bloops
The Psychedelic Furs
3/5
Didn’t really get much out of this, didn’t grab my attention at all
Arctic Monkeys
5/5
Bit of an all timer this, they were great before they all found themselves stuck firmly inside Alex Turners arse. 4.5
American Music Club
2/5
Not on Spotify, but found it on YouTube. Thought it was going to be a folk album then it changed into more of a post rock shoegazy dreary rock album. Shite tbh
Deep Purple
3/5
It’s good rock music but very long and not wholly my thing, some interesting blues and jazz influences
The Smiths
4/5
Suede
4/5
Really like this, needs a relisten
Louis Prima
3/5
Really fun album but not the kind of thing I’d relisten to
Brian Eno
3/5
Kind of interesting prog stuff but not my bag
Oasis
3/5
Oh look, it’s everyone’s favourite whiny pop rock singalong group!
It really is nothing special, Coldplay with attitude
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
Big fan of yeah yeah yeahs, so original and a great sound. This isn’t anywhere near as good as mosquito but still some great tunes on here and an easy listen
SZA
1/5
Genuinely don’t know why this is ok here, managed to finish two songs and called it there, and it felt like an achievement to get through them.
Shite music, shite genre
John Grant
2/5
Bit artsy and didn’t grab my attention at all
Pulp
3/5
Good, but not many bangers on here. Just good.
Queen
2/5
As queen goes I didn’t really rate it, they’ve done so much better
Bob Dylan
3/5
Standard Bob, good songwriting.
Are all 200 of his albums gonna make this list??
M.I.A.
2/5
Not my bag fam
Metallica
2/5
I don’t like metal
Syd Barrett
2/5
Dross
Sonic Youth
3/5
Liked the first half, went a bit manic after that
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
Much prefer btw and sa but this is a real turning point album where you can’t start to hear the transition from funky to melodic, great stuff
The Offspring
3/5
I like it but probably because I’m nostalgic
Hüsker Dü
2/5
So samey, so long
Gillian Welch
3/5
Sad country music that didn’t really do much for me, revelator is good though
Big Star
2/5
I can’t even remember listening to this but I think it was ok
Nick Drake
4/5
Songwriting is great, haunting
Peter Gabriel
4/5
Liked this which means I’m turning into my dad, probably worth a relisten
3/5
I think I like it
Anthrax
2/5
I don’t do thrash metal, it’s just noise
Lupe Fiasco
3/5
Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be, but still not really my genre
Charles Mingus
2/5
No more jazz please
Janelle Monáe
3/5
Surprised by the variety, it’s all over the place so not all of it hits but some of it is interesting
David Gray
2/5
A bit too nice, makes it dull
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
3/5
Was alright
Belle & Sebastian
3/5
Belle and Sebastian make really nice music it just doesn’t quite have the edge or emotion I want from it
Blur
4/5
Good britpop, some classics on here but was surprised by how much I enjoyed to the end
The Rolling Stones
3/5
A bit disappointed with the rest of the album after how good sympathy for the devil is, a bit more bluesy than some of their other albs
Tim Buckley
2/5
Wasn’t really into it, bit niche
Klaxons
3/5
Randy Newman
2/5
Elvis Costello
3/5
Pretty solid 70s rock album, felt fresh will listen again
U2
3/5
They make some great music but I don’t really connect with it and bono is a bellend
Fred Neil
3/5
Last song is weird as fuck
Malcolm McLaren
4/5
Wild album, actually really liked it but I’m not sure why
The Beau Brummels
2/5
Not really my bag but it’s fine
Beach House
3/5
Standard beach house, it’s decent music but it sounds exactly the same as all their other albums
Depeche Mode
4/5
Loved it, this album probably best encapsulates their sound
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
2/5
Very pleasant noises but not something I’ll ever be listening to again
The Strokes
5/5
Dopamine hit with every start of every song, absolutely love this album
The Velvet Underground
3/5
I do like their songwriting but it always feels like there’s a little something missing, a little squeeze of lime to cut through the fat
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
Possibly my 2/3 favourite album from them, really starting to develop into more of a melodic sound leaving behind their funk, blends the two perfectly
Led Zeppelin
3/5
It’s good but I’m not that big on this kind of rock
Pixies
3/5
I like this album 3.5
Ghostface Killah
3/5
Starts well but becomes a bit of a slog towards the end, the harmonies are nice
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
2/5
Just a man rambling over country music 60 years ago
Wilco
3/5
I did like this a lot, needs a relisten. Reservations is a lovely way to finish an album
Kate Bush
3/5
Listened to this before, starts off really strong but midway through becomes a weird Bjork tribute album and kind of loses its way
Holger Czukay
1/5
The fuck is this?
Unsettling amount of weirdos giving this 5 stars, it doesn’t make you interesting to pretend to like this unlistenable shite, just means you belong on a watchlist
Badly Drawn Boy
3/5
Weird album, half of it I enjoyed, half was either uninteresting or just weird
Hole
3/5
Easy to listen to, didn’t dislike any of it but also didn’t really get into any of it
The Smiths
4/5
Worried now because I liked this, dairy is scary
Kanye West
3/5
Some great tunes on there and can see how it was really refreshing at the time of release, the filler tracks get a bit tiring though. Solid album 3.5
Devendra Banhart
2/5
Don’t know why this is on here really, not sure what the appeal is at all
Linkin Park
2/5
So many people bum off this album and band, it’s just rap metal where the singer says he wants to kill himself every song, overrated
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Didn’t get into this as much as other stones albums on this list
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
2/5
Weird, don’t like his vocals at all but some of the jams could be good I just wasn’t in the right headspace for it
Gene Clark
3/5
Can’t remember the difference between this and the next one
James Taylor
3/5
Think it was ok, can’t remember much
Nirvana
4/5
Half of it’s good, half of it seems like run of the mill grunge, I guess people rave about it because it was kind of a fresh sound at the time but it doesn’t do much for me
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
This was kind of nice, enjoyable as background music but not much more
Sinead O'Connor
5/5
Absolutely loved this, what a talent
Daft Punk
1/5
Can’t believe I got through a full hour of this. Absolutely dreadful, no idea why people seem to rate them.
I’m actually annoyed at how much praise this pile of shite has got
Prince
5/5
Banging, liked it all, great energy
M.I.A.
2/5
Unlistenable
Fela Kuti
3/5
It’s fine background music it’s just not my jam
George Jones
2/5
Just slow country music, not sure what’s special about it
Leonard Cohen
2/5
I don’t think we need any more Leonard cohen albums please, especially if he isn’t even going to sing on it
Dusty Springfield
3/5
Was ok actually, perfectly easy to listen to
Bill Evans Trio
2/5
Didn’t even bother, just another hour of jazz
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
3/5
My dad probably likes it, but weird and proggy but some of it is interesting
Hot Chip
2/5
Just don’t rate hot chip at all, album isn’t cohesive and their Melodie’s don’t slap
Kanye West
4/5
Very good, all of the lights is still huge
John Coltrane
2/5
I still don’t like jazz
Queen Latifah
2/5
I find this genre boring
Derek & The Dominos
5/5
This was awesome, Clapton is a bellend but this is a fantastic album
Super Furry Animals
3/5
This was fine but it didn’t grab me
Aerosmith
3/5
Fine
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
Very raw but with a couple of gems such as maps, loved it
Bee Gees
3/5
It’s nice music but didn’t grab me at all
Destiny's Child
3/5
Wooo yass queens SLAY
Talvin Singh
3/5
Love the concept, some of it’s a bit scatty and some of the vocals are hard to listen to though
The Doors
4/5
Full of so many songs I recognise, did not know they were by the doors. Can see their influence, love it
Fleet Foxes
3/5
Liked it more than I did on previous fleet foxes listens, guess it just flows really well as an album. Few songs kind of blended in with the background but there’s some great songs on here
Gene Clark
3/5
Yeah alright
Jorge Ben Jor
3/5
Bit lively
The Undertones
4/5
Full of bangers tbf
David Bowie
4/5
Decent, like Bowie
Lynyrd Skynyrd
3/5
It’s all about free bird really, nothing special about the rest of it
Bob Dylan
3/5
Just another quite good Dylan album, dunno what else to say
Japan
3/5
Solid enough background music
Kendrick Lamar
3/5
Everyone bums off this for being experimental and lyrically revolutionary, but at the end of the day I listen to music because my brain tells me it sounds good. This doesn’t sound good.
KISS
3/5
Actually not bad glam rock
The xx
3/5
Easy to listen to atmospheric pop, kind of lose interest half way through
Eagles
3/5
Nice music but didn’t grab me
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
1/5
Apparently you need to listen to this album at least 7 times before you start to “get it”. If you think I’m gonna spend 10 hours of my life wanting to rip my ears off my skull just on the off chance I might start to appreciate this train wreck of an album you can fuck right off.
Prisoners of war suffered less
a-ha
3/5
Eh
Heaven 17
3/5
Bit scatty like
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
Pretty good grungy stuff ye
3/5
Bono is an arse but he’s made some good music, this one really tails off second half of the album though
The website threw us this album right after giving us the Joshua tree yesterday, which made the decline even more obvious. I’m not gonna be arsed to listen to you if you’re not even arsed yourself, Bonehead.
Pentangle
2/5
Just not anything special is it really
Beck
2/5
Never really rated this weird Scientologist nutjob

3/5
Not as good as the last blur alb I listened to ya know the one with the dog on the cover
Thin Lizzy
4/5
Turning into my dad, classics here
Frank Ocean
3/5
Some of it is alright, bit artsy so I can see why a bunch of white people like it
The Beach Boys
3/5
Not their best work but the melody’s as usual are great
Talking Heads
3/5
I keep trying to get into talking heads but I just can’t, there’s too much going on
Arcade Fire
4/5
I still think this album is massively overrated compared to some of their other work, neon bible and reflektor both better but it’s still got some great songs on there
Peter Frampton
3/5
Decent, decent yeah dunno what else to say not really my jam mate but it was good
Lambchop
2/5
Possibly the whitest album I’ve ever heard. The kind of shit people listen to after searching pitchfork for “avant-grade music”. Weirdos.
The Triffids
3/5
Actually not bad, lost a bit of energy but enjoyed the first half of the album. Very polished and radio friendly
Duran Duran
3/5
Easy enough to listen to but I always find depeche mode a bit flat.
ZZ Top
2/5
Didn’t even realise it had finished and started playing again from the start, says it all
The Flaming Lips
3/5
Solid
Sister Sledge
3/5
Decent album, a bit like chic but a touch more commercial
David Bowie
3/5
Didn’t really get into it tbh, will have to relisten
The Icarus Line
3/5
Yeah kind of alright, bit screamy in places, like the longer song on there
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
3/5
Refreshing kind of hip hop, just not sure I get how it’s supposed to be groundbreaking, maybe his earlier stuff is
The Cars
3/5
Just eating this so I can see the next alb
Adele
1/5
No
The Byrds
3/5
Orate
Songhoy Blues
4/5

Vapid generic and soulless, like much of its genre from its time
Jerry Lee Lewis
4/5
Sometimes all you need is some 12 bar blues and energy
Marvin Gaye
3/5
Good voice aye
Black Flag
1/5
I don’t like this kind of music
Stephen Stills
2/5
Didn’t really get in to it
Jurassic 5
3/5

Lou Reed
3/5
Didn’t really rate it, slow, uninspired. Old people like walk on the wild side
Buck Owens
2/5
Stop with this old honkey tonk shite
Dr. Dre
1/5
Dr. Dre? Dr. Eadful more like, an hour of pure shite, why is this on here?

Jimmy Smith
2/5
Screaming Trees
3/5
Yeah mate alright pretty grungy, young Mark Lanegan doing well I see
Santana
4/5
Just really good music this
Laura Nyro
3/5
Doesn’t do all that much, nice voice but goes down the theatre vocals route too much
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Good music thf will listen to more
ABBA
3/5
Soon as I started playing it every single middle aged white woman I know appeared at my front door with a bottle of Prosecco, horrifying.
Fernando a banger tho
Underworld
3/5
Not really my bag but there’s a couple of bangers on here
k.d. lang
2/5
Growing up my dad used to listen to prog rock all the time. I was never a fan of being forced to listen to genesis in the car as a youth but looking back now, and listening to this, I realise that if I grew up being forced to listen K.D. lang I probably would have turned to hard drugs.
Christine and the Queens
2/5
Didn’t rate this at all, all sounded the same
Elton John
3/5
Some absolute classics on here but also some killer so only 3 stars sorry eltz
Nine Inch Nails
3/5
Not really my vibe, not sure why so many people bum them it’s nowt special
The Cramps
3/5
Some of it’s alright but his voice is annoying isn’t it
Silver Jews
2/5
More like beige Jews this is so bland, geezer can’t sing either
Hanoi Rocks
3/5
17 minutes isn’t an album
Fats Domino
3/5
Dad used to play blueberry hill in the car all the time, a classic.
Again though 17 minutes is not an album
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
Good old brucey, you know what you’re gonna get, and what you’re gonna get is mediocre with the odd banger thrown in
Ella Fitzgerald
3/5
You give me two 17 minute albums in a row and when I complain about it you give me a 3 hour 15 minute monstrosity, I see you 1001albumsgenerator.
Very very good voice but it’s not really doing anything for me
Eagles
3/5
It’s very easy to listen to and I do like a few of the songs, it does seem to lack a bit of edge though. I think it’s the vocals I’m not that into, some songs feel like karaoke
The Who
4/5
Good album, little bit proggy
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
Yes now, big album from nick
Def Leppard
3/5
Not really into this
Suzanne Vega
2/5
Background music
4/5
3.5
4/5
Massive, but I did love it growing up so I’m biased.
Probably the last good album before they went off the boil.
Beck
4/5
Actually liked this a lot more than I thought, maybe I’m getting old.
Still a weird Scientologist though isn’t he
Duke Ellington
3/5
Don’t really like jazz
Elvis Presley
3/5
It’s not bad, but I don’t get how he was so hyped
Teenage Fanclub
2/5
Boring
Portishead
4/5
Really like the vibe, great band and inspired some of my favourite albums
John Lennon
3/5
Feel like if this wasn’t John Lennon and it wasn’t the album with imagine on it no one would really pay it any attention
Beatles
3/5
Never rated them highly and this didn’t change it
The Only Ones
3/5
Another girl, another planet is a banger, the rest is fairly forgettable
4/5
Already loved this mess we’re in but hadn’t given the full album a go, really liked it especially the slightly heavier songs, great stuff
LCD Soundsystem
4/5
I don’t like all of the songs, but the ones I do like I like a lot
Boston
3/5
Couple of hits at the start but fairly bland otherwise
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Exactly what you’d expect a Bob Marley album to sound like
David Holmes
3/5
Sort of interesting but at the same time kind of boring which in itself is an achievement
Primal Scream
4/5
Kind of got to respect it when a band takes a load of drugs and makes something so different to the rest of their catalogue. A lot of this doesn’t work but when it does it’s great
Fishbone
3/5
Some sizeable tunes tbf
Stan Getz
2/5
Songs than my Nan liked
Air
3/5
Ofd
Slipknot
1/5
Unlistenable
Paul Simon
2/5
The most beige music I’ve ever heard. All the most boring middle aged people you know hear “you can call me Al” and all collectively say “ooh I love Paul Simon”.
Leave it out, he’s absolutely dreary.
Marilyn Manson
1/5
Didn’t bother because he’s a grim rapist
Beastie Boys
3/5
Never listened to them before, solid enough album, sure shot is a banger, sabotage hugely out of place but a top song of course
Beatles
3/5
Just another Beatles album isn’t it
Nas
2/5
Don’t get the hype, yeah production was good but not a lot changes over the course of the album, didn’t keep me interested
The Smashing Pumpkins
3/5
Alright yeah, but grungy but some solid songs there
Everything But The Girl
3/5
Perfectly nice to listen to without being life changing
