He's sad and he has a guitar. Fuck yeah!

I just find the blues so depressing

Judas!

This album is more historically important than actually musically enjoyable. Ice Cube is no Dr Dre.

It's crazy how simultaneously 60's and not 60's this album sounds.

I always forget how short this album is. It's less about the songs and more about the vibe.

I don't know what it is about the blues, they're just so depressing.

I hadn't ever listened to this entire album before. I really liked it. Gang of Four really don't get enough recognition as an early punk band.

Morrissey is certainly a guy that thinks stuff, huh?

Dusty is a great performer, but this selection of popular r&b and pop songs from the really sixties feels unremarkable from a modern standpoint.

This album is very ahead of it's time

This was one of the most impactful albums in my life. I will never forget seeing Nirvana play Smells Like Teen Spirit on SNL for the first time

This album was a jam, but early 60's instrumental blues just isn't my thing

Some great songs, but a little jazzy for my tastes

Wow am I sick of white British boomer dudes playing the blues

This album is one of the 3 good ones Coldplay made. I don't hate it, but it's not as good as A Rush of Blood to the Head. Don't Panic is all time though.

Judas!

The Kinks are really underrated in the pantheon of British invasion bands

The Band is undoubtedly a great group, but I just don't click with roots rock.

It's fun early 60's British Invasion R&B, but nothing really special.

I thought Primal Scream was a lot harder music. I liked this album fine, but it didn't really hit me. It was kind of background music.

It's crazy to hear where so many samples came from. Great vibe to this album.

Great album, but I found the production and composition to be a little repetitive by the end of the LP.

Pretty solid all the way through. Better than I expected.

Good album. I like the vibes, but a lot if the compositions outside of the singles are pretty forgettable.

This song is a banger, but really it's just the one 20 minute song broken to into 2 parts.

I'm not convinced that this isn't Spinal Tap

Sam was a hell of an entertainer

Oh fuck! Let's go crazy!

She really should have gone to rehab.

I get that this is influential and the first of it's kind, but it is NOT my jam.

It's fine

Sure, the Kinks are good but man I'm such of white British dudes in the sixties.

This is my first time listening through this whole album. It's a little dated, but still pretty damn good.

*gruff voiced* Bobby works in the steel mill but his boss don't pay him right. On the weekends he races his 67 hardblock 486. It's the only time he feels alive.

Pretty good, but a little more rootsy than I like.

Jazzy 90's electronica. It's fine.

Still a good album. So very 90's

This album legitimately scared me when it came out when I was 14. It's a damn masterpiece.

Definitely a Steely Dan album

I love this album. Jangly early 90's guitar alternapop is right up my alley.

I appreciate Sonic Youth more than I enjoy them.

Who's the private dick who's a sex machine with all the chicks? Curtis Mayfield.

It was fine. I wasn't really impressed by the Pet Shop Boys, but nothing was terrible. Kind of forgettable.

I really like The Jesus and Mary Chain. Gloomy, jangly, post-punk definitely hits for me.

Every track is a banger

It's alright. Honestly, I've heard much better new wave.

There's not a bad song on this album.

It's Stevie

So incredibly ahead of it's time. They are basically a Pavement prequel.

Less an album of songs and more a series of improvisations around the impression of being goth in the early 80's.

These aren't even the best versions of these songs performed at the Star Club in the 60's. Give me The Beatles on speed any day.

Definitely the Clash's best. Also the lightest on the reggae, which I find tedious.

I really never thought the drummer from Nirvana was going to be the one with a 3 decade music career.

It's fine

The worst LCD Soundsystem album. It's still a 4/5.

If I was making a movie about a bunch of suburban, college aged white guys in the 60's starting a garage band, they would sound like this.

He was bad... But maybe not in the way he meant here. Still, album is a banger. Not Thriller level, but impressive nonetheless.

Best pop album ever made. Beats Thriller, 1989, Rumors... It's a fucking top to bottom, unstoppable stampede of bangers.

I recognize what they did here, though The Who don't really connect with me in general. I do give them credit for having both an Overture and an Underture. That's quality punning.

I think I'm discovering that I only like laid back cool jazz inflected hip hop in small doses. I don't dislike anything here, but a whole album feels backgroundy. The second half gets better, though.

Rock out with your cock out. This is so not my jam.

70's glam rock. I definitely dig it. They're a little more showtune-y than Bowie.

He's sad and he has a guitar. Fuck yeah!

I generally like Hot Chip, though an entire album starts to feel repetitive.

Definitely some British boomers doing roots rock

Not bad. Groovy background disco other than Good times.

I respect them more than I enjoy them

So tired of white British Boomers

It's the doors. They're fine.

Bri'ish

I got pregnant just listening to this album. And I'm a dude.

Jewish country Pavement

21st century Kinks

White British boomers.... Again. I am so sick of the 60's.

She's like the Julia Roberts of music. There's nothing about it that's bad, but it just somehow feels like it's for single women in their mid-thirties on an early 90's sitcom.

I do appreciate goth 80's post-punk, though this particular flavor is a little light on melody and heavy on snare (wow. Those are some reverby snares) for my taste.

Ok, I'm a dude in my 40's and this gave me real teenage girl longing. It's a goddamn magic trick Every track is a banger. I don't want to like this album, but fuck it, I really do..

Ok, trying to step away from the giant mythos of this album and my teenage stoner experience (hah, experience) of it to look at it as objectively as possible. Every. Single. Track. Rocks.

I never gave this album a chance when it was new. I was so done with Greenday at this point. But fuck, it's good.

Good album. Supergrass is one of those venerated lesser known 90's bags I never got around to.

This is one of those cases where the single he's remembered for is really the best song on the album. I appreciate the soul, but the songs aren't great. Especially when he urges his grandmother to get up out of her rocking chair and dance. It just feels very 80's. And I swear he musically quoted the theme to Green Acres. Terrence Trent D'arby is "We have Prince at home."

Pretty good, but it's not like it's going to win a Pulitzer prize or anything.

Not the Queenest Queen album, but it's Queen enough.

It held up better than I thought it would have. Kat time I listened to this was probably 1992

Pretty good album. Didn't blow me away.

I don't know what it is, but there's sometime about Elvis Costello's vocal delivery that I just don't connect with. On paper he should be the kind of artist I'm really in to, but I just can't get there. It's like he's making up the words as he goes along and just can't stop shoving more words into the rhyme scheme.

Might sell a few copies

Oh. My. God. I am so sick of Steely fucking Dan. I get it, you like jazz and have great production. Jesus. Alright, this one's a little better than the last 2i had to sit through.

It's fine as far as upbeat fifties jazz goes.

I like this album but I feel like J got way better in his next few albums. He's still developing as a songwriter here.

I feel like a lot of bands have a really great sound, but they don't have any songs worth listening to. They're all technique and attitude with no composition skills. This is one of those bands. I like a good song before anything else.

Love the Guarldi style piano. There are some very good songs here, and I generally dig B&S, but Joey's be honest, this is the aural requirement of a Wes Anderson film.

Some damn good funk.

This album is incredible. They just invented a new genre out of nowhere.

Meh

I don't know what it is about Bjork. I like individual songs of hers quite a bit. Human Behavior is an absolute favorite of mine, and on paper she's everything I should like, well crafted compositions, sonically adventurous, but I just find myself zoning out on her when I try to listen to a whole album.

I mean, it's Marvin Gaye, so yeah it's pretty good.

Another album that was very formative to my listening in my teen years.

I love Bowie, and this album had some good stuff, and a couple absolute all time great songs. It's mid for 70's Bowie, although it would be spectacular did almost anyone else.

I don't really dig reggae.

I had never heard this before. Very nice.

So, I understand their importance to the development of pop in the sixties, but wow is it just so very set in a time. There are 3 great pop songs on here and a bunch of medium covers.

This album is more a vibe than anything else. It's like it doesn't have any individual songs. It's certainly no Rumours.

Soundgarden is the third best of the four big Grunge invasion bands. They're just fine. I don't hate them, but I only really like a handful of their songs.

Ok, I appreciate the ambient trailblazing going on here, but this is not my bag.

It's interesting, but not my cup of tea. It's crazy how little this Genesis resembles the I've that got famous in the 80's

Damn good album. I love how acoustic yet bass heavy it is. This is the first album by Neil Young I ever listened to.

GnR still Rick. There's a reason this album was such a big hit. There are 3 perfect songs and every other one is a 8 or 9 out of 10.

This rock is certainly prog

I just do not like raggae

Bjork just becomes background noise to me. I don't dislike it though.

I love this album. Kurt tried to be less pop this time, but it's just as catchy as ever. God, I think this one may be a 5/5 too.

So... Much ... Sitar

Well, this guy is certainly a guy who sings songs. I kinda like the schmaltzy showtune Tom Jones vibe, but definitely in small doses. The songs themselves are meh as compositions and cover choices, except a couple.

This is a really good album. Based on my limited listening of Muse before this I was hoping it could be a 5 star album, but the deep cuts didn't quite grab me enough to do it. I think it's a very solid 4 though.

There's just something about that plunky reverbed guitar. I dig these guys. Not every song is a 10/10 in composition, but the execution is tremendous.

This really feels like a first album. There's a lot of great musical ideas, a few really great songs, but the bulk of the album is kinda of meandering and aimless from a structural and composition perspective.

This is some laid back lesbian vibes for sure. I kinda like it, but it may not hold up to repeat listening for me personally.

I thought I'd like this more than I did. I understand it's importance as the first trip hop album, but it's pretty meh for me personally.

This is another case of an artist who I like the vibe of, but the songs all kinds blur together. Also Blunderbuss the song really wants to be Isis by Dylan. Still it's a pretty good jam in the whole.

I haven't listened to this album in awhile. It definitely takes he to a specific time and place.

I love this album. I still think I generally prefer Mighty Joe Moon, but they're both 5/5 for me.

Dig the vibe, but I would never just put this on to listen to

This album is definitely a fun jam.

Ok, going by the rule of 3 to 4 classics and no filler in the deep cuts, this album is a definite 5.

I get that they're important for the development of punk/ska and modern Rock, but the clash just aren't my thing. This album is good, but doesn't resonate with me personally.

Every single track is great.

45 tracks!? Of salsa and mambo. Jesus.

Yep. That's some jazz.

Nothing but bangers. This was Beck's last masterpiece.

Ok so I haven't given this album a good listen in 25 years or more. It's definitely better than I remember. That said, it's still a little flabby. There is some filler on this, and I feel like it's a white album situation. If they had cut it down to the vet best it would be remembered as an all time great album. As it is it's a solid 8/10

There are a few good songs here. The British Isles folk music style isn't really something that I enjoy in general, but I'm interested in hearing the rest of they're discography as apparently they have very different sounds in other albums.

This is a classic, and Do You Realize is one of the best songs ever written.

Strangely wholesome and quaint

Ok, I like this album more than I used to, but Jimi's psychedelic rock thing just ain't for me.

A really good album overall. And of course Hurt is an all time great cover.

This is such a crazy album for 1988. Fuck yeah.

I really like the Lou Barlow stuff, but Gaffney and Lowenstein's contributions leave me cold.

I really like this one. I know it was pretty widely dismissed when it came out, but it sure holds up better than some of Oasis's shit.

I'm generally meh on Jack White's schtick, but this is a genuinely good album.

Interesting album. It's Neil Young doing a tired laid back country album. I like the vibe, even if the songs are more suggestions of melody than actual compositions.

I appreciate the importance and technical artistry of Frank Zappa, but I don't actually enjoy his music very much.

This is like an album from a fictional band in a movie set in the 70's

I like baggy Madchester in small doses. A while album of this is really more than I can take all at once.

Yep. It's Irish folk punk.

I really like REM, though these early tracks are all pretty similar

Mid. I don't really like Springsteen.

This album has 9 all time great songs on it. Unfortunately, it's 26 tracks long. It's so bloated and overrated. It does not stand up to Wish You Were Here or Dark Side of the Moon. Still an 8 out of 10

Yep, that's some mid-century folk music alright.

Every song is good.

Yep. That's some white biker mid-sixties psychedelic bullshit alright. I am so sick of that decade. It's sooooo over represented in this list.

So. Sick. Of. The. Sixties. But this is genuinely a better album than a lot of the mid psychedelic era bad British white guy blues.

This album is a masterpiece.

I'm not a jazz fan. As far as I'm concerned this is one long song with no melody or changes.

Apparently no one had ever improvised on piano before 1975

Jeff Buckley's songs all sound like he's making them up as he goes along. But it's kind of in a good way.

When I first heard Nick Drake I thought he was a modern artist. This is a great album, and only the little bit of indulgent instrumentals and aged arrangement(flute) keeps it from being a 5.

Every song on this album was good.

Kinda repetitive but funky

The first half of this album goes hard. It slaps. The second half fell off a bit, but was still pretty enjoyable.

This album slaps beginning to end

Great album

This shit slaps

I like it better than I thought I would.

Damn, he was really going through something. The fact that this wasn't the darkest album he would make in his final years really says something.

This is definitely in the conversation for top 10 hip hop albums of all time.

There's some good stuff on here but a lot of it really feels dated too. Plus he gets really preachy, and let's face it, he's not the best rapper on earth. Body count was revolutionary at the time though.

That's certainly some 70's rock

This was aural wall paper

This is one of the 20 best albums of the 70's. I do think it could be sequenced better.

The Stones are one of the best greatest hits bands ever, but I've yet to be really impressed by one of their albums.

It's your World is like Black Free to Wear Sunscreen. That J Dilla production is incredible though

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

I recognize the quality and skill here, but this music is not for me. I prefer later, Poppier, less country Dolly.

Not bad, but I'm really struggling to see what artists this from dozens of other orange l orchestral indie albums.

This album is very disappointing. Other than Maps and Y Control, I didn't like a single song. They weren't terrible, just undercooked white stripe style jam.

It's impossible for me to listen to this album without thinking of being 14 years old in 1992, and the 50 million times I listened to it on my walkman.

This sounds like a million other post punk, clash, buzzcock clones

I. Hate. Reggae.

One of the best live albums ever. I remember watching this when it first aired on MTV at the age of 16.

Meh

This is one of the least of Bowie's early glam albums, I think. I much prefer Ziggy Stardust or Hunky Dory. Still a good album but it's a solid 7.5/10 instead of his usual 9 or 9.5.

This sounds like how I would describe a generic post-grunge album to someone who never heard one before. Or: We have Sonic Youth at home.

Nope

It's good and all... But the songs aren't really songs. They're more moods.

I think this is Dylan's best album.

Damn good album.

I mean, it's prodigy.

Every song is a 7/10... Except Common People. That's an 11.

Outside of le freak this is the most background music ever.

Yeah, this is right up my alley. It's a near perfect album.

Buzzcocks>Sex Pistols.

There are 3 songs on here that are great and the rest are a solid 7.5/10. It's good but not great.

Every song is a bop. 10/10. No notes.

This is their best album.

Not Prince's best album, but still pretty damn good.

He really just says the exact thing he thinks every time.

This is like someone took all the rapping off a Kendrick album

I really like Pavement, but I don't get the worship by white Xennial dudes.

It's fine. Early 60's soul and R&B is just not my jam. I'm honestly getting pretty tired of Boomer music.

I love this album. Easily The Cure's best album, maybe the best Goth album of all time. Definitely in the top ten best albums of the 80's. The layers of thick, textured synth; the chiming, delayed guitars; and a lot of the tracks actually rock. It's a cohesive total work while having incredible individual tracks throughout.

I never like Fugazi as much as I feel like I should as a late Gen-X white guy.

This album was so ridiculously ahead of it's time. It was the 21st century version of Dylan going electric.

This was fine electronic indie but nothing special.

This was a really good album. If the second half had held up as well as the first it would have been a 5.

I really like this album, but there is really not much variation between a lot of the tracks in terms of production.

Meh, it's ok. I've never really been a fan and this hasn't changed my opinion. It's not bad, just not for me. Too Zeppelin influenced for my tastes, and I like Zeppelin but everyone seems to forget that style is only half of what makes a band great. The other half is writing really good songs. These guys are in the same bucket for me as Soundgarden and Tool. They're ok, but not really what I like about 90's rock.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this album. I remember listening to my dad's copy when I was a kid and my memory was of silly, self-important, bloated classic rock, but it is really solid all the way through.

This album is a lot better than I thought it was. I never have Courtney much of a chance, but damn. This is a solid album.

These guys sure are mad.

It's fine. Raunchy Southern 70's blues isn't really my bag.

Aretha is great. The band is great. The song selection and sequencing is ok. Except for Respect. That song is an all time banger.

This was perfectly fine traditional country. It didn't really stand out to me.

This album was incredible. 5/5

I really like this era of Bowie

Incredible album. Half of it is weird, experimental, psychedelic, electro-funk, genre expanding, hip hop. Then Andre 3000's half starts and shit gets REALLY crazy.

I appreciate this but I don't enjoy it

Ok fine, it's a 10/10. No matter how much I can't stand Don Henley as a person, this album is damn near perfect.

Radiohead is practically cheating. This album might be the final form of the early 90's.

This shit slaps

Other than The Sultans of Swing, this album is super mid. None of the songs are bad, and stylistically it's interesting, but nothing stands out.

Every song is a perfect piece of pop. Simple yet effective.

This is the jazziest jazz that ever jazzed a jazz.

This is my first time listening through this whole album. Damn it's good.

3 great songs and a bunch that sound like typical 60's psychedelic bullshit

It's not The Beatles, but it's kinda The Beatles.

It was fine. Nothing really stuck out to me about it.

Kate is such a drama kid

Meh, it's ok.

Too much Brian Eno, not enough David Bowie.

Damn good album. Tom Petty came out of the gate firing hot.

I had never heard this and had to Google who Gene Clark was. I'm not a big fan of The Byrds, so I was very surprised by how good this album was. Sad that it was never vindicated during his lifetime. It's really good.

Meh. This is not my jam. Vaguely folk music sounding interpreted through a drumless punk aesthetic with lyrics about labor disputes and taxes just didn't do it for me.

Goth drama kid energy. I like it.

Good stuff

This is a great album. It's not in my top tier of Leonard Cohen albums, but it's still great.

That's a lot of 2010's British rap I'm this list. For some reason.

Every song is great.

I wasn't even a fan of drum and bass even I went to raves in the 90's.

Damn good album.

Yep. Christmas.

No thanks.

More 60's psychedelia. Please make it stop.

It's ok. Kinda like a slightly goth Thin Lizzy.

Yep. This is a masterpiece.

Long album. Really good though.

Better than a lot of the sixties bullshit. At least it's pre-psychedelic so that bit if cringe is missing.

I really like this album. It's definitely a complete whole, and so far ahead of it's time.

Damn this album is good.

He's a damn good rapper, and this is a great first album but I think it's a little repetitive, and a lot of the songs have that same Dre G funk production. His next few albums definitely were better.

Might be Dylan's first masterpiece.

Much better than I thought it would be.

Sleepy, southwestern whisper pavement is pretty alright.

Goddamn, I did not expect this album. I thought I was going to be getting something between Iron & Wine and Bon Iver, but this shit makes Bauhaus look cheerful.

The singing Gallagher's voice gets really grating after awhile. There are 5 great Beatles ripoff songs on here and the rest are OK Wings ripoff songs.

Yeah, this is pretty damn good.

It's fine. I feel like she's making it up as she goes along.

This might be the last rock album that was actually an advancement of the art. One of the best albums of all time.

I like Elvis Costello's music but I feel like he writes his lyrics in full, non-stop paragraphs.

10/10 album. There's not a bad song on here

Every song is a banger

I just find the blues so depressing

Not bad. No single song stood out, but had a cool white British soul by way of punk vibe.

David Byrne is a wacky guy.

So much better then Oasis

I just get really tired of songs that are over 10 minutes long and mostly drum and organ solos. I get it, you smoke pot.

Pretty good punk. 5 for style, 3 for composition.

Jazz gonna jazz.

It's a great film soundtrack, but as an album, divorced of the context of the film, it didn't really hold up.

It's really hard rating this without thinking about The Beatles.

There's a lot of Morrisey on this thing

It's fine. A solid 2.5.

This is really a band finding themselves. You can hear the influence of The Strokes and The Modern Lovers. It's pretty good, but they definitely developed their own voice better on later albums.

Honestly, this is Paul's weakest album of the 70's. It's barely an album, being a bunch of experimental stuff he slapped together at home alone. Junk and Maybe I'm Amazed are the only things elevating this.

There's a reason these guys are so respected.

Yep. That's Funkadelic alright.

It's a good album, but outside of the 4-5 standout tracks every song sounds the same.

It's good, but it's probably my least favorite collection of Beta Band songs.

Much bluesier than I was expecting.

It's a vibe, but it's also kinda like metal Grateful Dead.

Pretty good 2010's Indie rock. It starts out very strong, though it slips a little in the back half. If it had maintained the same level of quality as it did for the first 5 or so songs it would have been a 5.

This album is more historically important than actually musically enjoyable. Ice Cube is no Dr Dre.

Good album, but has that thing where every song sounds the same.

We get it. You're high and you like guitar solos.

Such a good album. The criticism of the time that she was overly political and her songs were just non-rhyming descriptions of what she saw are basically 3 songs on this record. And even those are still catchy, well composed pieces of music.

It's a good album, but after a while it feels repetitive.

So much catchier and fun than I thought it would be. Early 80's punk can be so dour sometimes, but this was great.

This might be their last great album.

It was alright.

Not what I'd ever choose to listen to, but I kind of get it.

I get it. I just am not interested in jazz.

Pretty good. They deserve to be known for more than just Tainted Love

I never really listened to these guys before. They're somewhere between The Smiths and New Order and I love it.

Whichever Gallagher does the singing just yells everything. If it wasn't due that I'd like Oasis a lot more.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. What is everyone hearing here that I'm not? I've read and watched and listened to so many critical assessments and deep dives into this album, and it still just shines like The Beach Boys. I get that they innovated with the baroque sound that became popular in the mid sixties, and of course Brian Wilson is a great composer of melody, and this is undoubtedly a very good album. But it being in the conversation of greatest album ever is confounding to me. Also, I HATE the way they recorded the drums. It sounds like they're in another room down the hall. And they put Sloop John B on here. It's a banger but imagine if Roll Over Beethoven was on Sgt. Pepper.

Bow wow wow yippee yo yippee yay.

He truly is king of the bongo. I liked this album a lot more than I thought I was going to.

It's crazy how simultaneously 60's and not 60's this album sounds.

This album really felt like something new when it came out. I still think it's their best one.

Yeah yeah, it's great

Meh

No thanks.

Yeah yeah yeah, mid 70's Stevie Wonder is great.

These guys are like a serious version of Ninja Sex Party. But the lead singer is doing an Elmo impression. It is NOT a good falsetto.

Paula Jean, you're a badass

Song the song James!

When a movie wants to play generic punk music, this is what it sounds like.

I liked it much more than I thought I would.

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would.

Slaps

Pretty solid album though there's a little filter in it.

Damn good album

Better than their first album

Yep. That's 60's country.

Jazz sure is jazz

This one hell of a debut album.

Still a great album, even if Nothing's Shocking is better.

Ahead of it's time for 1969

Paula Jean, you're a champ

Someone got a double bass pedal for their birthday.

Yep, that's some laid back piano.

Damn this album is good.

I mean... It's Dark Side of the Moon

We really are all part of the Rhythm Nation

The band is cool and all, but late 60's roots country rock ain't my jam.

Neil Young ain't bad.

This album is just incredible. I can't imagine how much it would cost to use all these samples if it were made today.

Damn good album

Incredibly ahead of it's time.

I grew up thinking Billy Joel was a cheesy hack. Now that I'm actually listening to his discography, I have to begrudgingly admit he's a cheesy genius.

Meh

Meh

It's definitely Tom Waits. I've tried over and over again, but I just don't get it.

Yeah fine it's pretty good

It goes pretty hard. The last couple songs fall off a little though.

This album goes.

I like the Caveman Insurance song.

Meh

David Byrne discovered one drum can do one thing and another drum can do another thing.

Too much. I like Ella Fitzgerald but not for 3 hours and 19 minutes.

Pretty good, but it's still no Like a Prayer.

I thought this was going to be twee, self-indulgent millennial bullshit, but damn it's so good.

I respect Sonic Youth more than I enjoy their music.

Way better album than Beggars Banquet

Every single song on this album is a banger. No skips.

This was one of the most influential albums of my teen years. It was constantly on in my room and my walkman.

I actually went to raves in the 90's. This is the music that drove me crazy. It's too upbeat to chill out to, but there is absolutely no energy to it. It's basically ambient with a "bom...ta... bom ta" beat behind long melody-less pads. It might be good to focus on work or studying but to just listen to? No thanks.

Oh no. Halfway through the New Jack Swing beats started and it physically hurt me. So many sampled orchestral stabs.

Yep. That's Abba alright.

I don't think the drummer ever stopped playing that first fill he started on the first song.

I like Neil Young, but I don't like like Neil Young

They're definitely a rock band.

I really like this album, but I'm absolutely befuddled by the sequencing. Who doesn't start an album with Money For Nothing? Also, lyrically there are some things that don't hold up today.

10/10. No notes.

Not bad

Sometimes I think I like this album better than Kid A.

Not my favorite Cure album. It feels like a band figuring out who they are. The Forest is an all timer though.

I really liked this album but it was a little long and saggy towards the middle.

I think this one gets overlooked a lot. It's not their first and it's not as start-to-finish pop perfection as A Hard Day's Night, but it's really solid and a perfect follow up to Please Please Me. Their second best early album.

I didn't think there could be too much "soaring guitar" but here we are.

Meh

Not my favorite Can album

I liked this album way more than I thought I would. It probably helps that I have no idea what they were saying.

It's like they improvised the entire album but without missing a single scientifically placed note. If Steely Dan were more steely and less Dan. This drummer fucking loooves quarter notes on the snare.

One of my favorite early Bowie albums

Sounds ahead of it's time.

This is probably the best Stones album I've had on this list yet.

This girl goes hard

Damnit Kanye, what happened? This was so good. He was always a terrible person, but it used to feel harmless and he made damn good music. Neither is true anymore.

Yep that's Elvis.

This album is a masterpiece.... Then there's Jazz Police.

I actively hate this music. Listening was literally torture. Does the drummer have like 10 bass pedals?

Do you find Bruce Hornsby just a little too edgy? Well, have we got an artist for you!

Every hit song from this I've heard too many times. Every other song is pretty forgettable.

While still great songs, Dylan's political stuff from this era don't really hold up. But his more universal material is all time goat stuff. Girl from the north country and don't think twice it's alright are some of the best compositions ever.

I really enjoyed it.

A really interesting hard rock combination of Evanescence, Fishbone, and Massive Attack with some lyrical inspiration taken from Public Enemy, but more personal. I liked this album far more than I thought I would.

Decent country tinted college rock. It kind of feels like The Replacements Lite.

That's definitely disco.

Pretty good rock album

Fuck kid Rock.

James Taylor has no business playing blues, given how white bread his vibe is. He makes Blues Brothers 2000 sound authentic. His chill folk stuff though is pretty alright. He answers the question, what if Oh Susanna was too hard?

Not bad big beat techno. Not their best though.

David Bowie's last masterpiece.

CCR is always pretty good.

Good live band... So much jamming.

Crotch rock flavored Halloween glam. Not my cup of tea, but I didn't completely hate it. I was expecting a 2 and I got a 3.

Pretty repetitive but I dig the overall vibe.

It's fine. Kinda repetitive. Wasn't my jam in 94, isn't now. I preferred Greenday.

Pretty much all bangers.

Someone who makes this list really loves over dramatic theater kid indie. It's so light on music from the last 30 years, but what they choose is baffling. This is one of the most mid albums ever

I kinda get why U2 blew up. This is a pretty good album, despite being able to hear the nascent cringe of their later years laying dormant, ready to burst forth.

Little more gospel-ey than I was expecting. You can hear the undiluted good and bad he brought to CS&N and Buffalo Springfield.

There are some truly dizzying highs on this album, but there are some really deep lows too. For every Goodbye Yellow Brick Road there's a Jamaica Jerk-Off. Also, it's really long and bloated. If he had cut the 5 worst songs it would have been a masterpiece.

I love this album. This is the precursor of everything from Bowie's more minimalist post-Ziggy Stardust work to Patti Smith to Pavement.

Really ahead of it's time.

Meh

I don't dislike Rufus Wainwright, but his brand of over dramatic, Broadway-esque, non melody isn't really for me.

Probably the best straight blues album I've ever heard. Still not really what I'm into.

Probably the best Pink Floyd album after DSOTM.

This album is just incredible. It's not only the most experimental of Wilco, it has their strongest song writing.

I liked it more than I expected to.

Not as good as lemonade, which isn't on this list.

This sounds like a Barbara Streisand album from 1966.

Perfectly pleasant retro futuristic jazz hop. But it's background music.

Nu Metal for potheads that had a Reggae phase and wore Che Guevara shirts in college.

Not for me

Yep. More 90's niche techno.

Not bad. Not my jam though.

I loved this one a lot. Maybe even more than some Can.

Not my kind of music usually, but this album is really good.

The first dip. It's still great but a definite fall from MBDTF.

You got your 90's R&B in my Frank Zappa.

Solid album all the way through.

I like the vibes

Nah, I'm good.

Not for me. Though I do think this album is more listenable than a lot of metal.

This is my favorite album.

I liked ita lot more than I expected to.

Great album start to finish.

Nah

This album is Profoundly boring.

It's basically start to finish bangers

Didn't leave much of an impression but I enjoyed it while it was on.

This album is ridiculously good.

I was expecting to like it more than I did. The roots/country influences and the weird almost covers threw me off. Still it's a vibe.

It's fine

This album goes hard. Somewhere between the Kinks and The Beatles.

All bangers

Very meh

These fellas may be on to something here.

Yeah, it's good. There's a lot of PJ Harvey in this list.

I really like this album.

So syrupy.

She seems like a very nice lady

It's like listening to the world's most aggressively British marching band, but the musicians are all on ecstacy and playing Casio keyboards for children.

It's like Christian music but they keep forgetting to mention Jesus.

Pop punk before there was pop punk.

It really is

She's right. I wasn't ready for that jelly.

Comparatively, the Eifel Tower would be a very small penis.

The straightest album ever

These jams sure are slow

Sure they rock, but to what end?

Great post punk

This is what the 80's sound like in movies made about the 80's.

Laid back and delicious

I really liked this one. More than I expected to.

Don't run with her

Leon is ruled by a decent, but not great Monarchial Collective.

The sounds were, indeed, psychedelic.

It washed over me and left almost no impression outside of vibes

Jazzy Joni jams

Thank you, Uncle Joey

I like it, but it's no Transformer.

Solid album with at least 3 all time classics.

I'm unironically angry at how good this album is. I want to continue to think of U2 as being pretentious, generic leftover 80's pop-rock.

Too long

Damn good album. Too many skits.

Nope

I didn't know what to expect. I can't imagine he paid for all those samples.

Not a single track stood out. It sounds like 80's hip hop alright.

It's the 6th best Beatles album and it's still better than most music.

They sure were

Quick, poppy and fun

Pretty good. Not great though.

This lady is awesome

Perfectly nice.

I love this album. It's probably a 9/10. It gets a 5 in this format.

It's fine

I lined it more than I thought I would.

She could sing

I just don't enjoy metal but I understand why this is the album that crossed over.

Not bad. Not great.

German Beerhall style Broadway musical influenced music just isn't a genre I'm especially interested in.

Sounds like the 90's

Gives bargain bin Nick Cave

While it doesn't have any single song that's as good as Maps, it's overall a much better album than their first.

This is the most 1997 album ever

If the Modem Lovers lyrics were written by an edgy 14 year old

Very good for background music.

Corn. Highway. Main Street. Factory workers. Taillights. Beer. Town. It's like Americana mad libs.

Impeccable production and musicianship. Not a single song that stands out.

Yep. That's Morrissey alright.

This is the most aggressively 1996 album I've ever heard.

These guys were really into I Zimbra.

Fun punk

Timbaland staking a claim

The 60's

I've listened through this album probably 4 times now and I respect it more than I enjoy it. It's basically spoken word poetry with musical backing. It gets an extra star for historical importance and the cover.

I appreciate the proto-grunge production more than the actual songs they're playing.

It's ok

Bop after bop

Damn fine album

Tear the roof off this mother

The more I listen to Joni Mitchell the kid it feels like she's making the songs up as she goes along.

Not bad, but it's not nearly his best.

I appreciate that this was from 1978
