UB40 · 5 likes

1/5

This rating might be because I'm in a bad mood, it might be because I'm tired of this list being almost exclusively British music, or it might be the fact that reggae is my least favorite style of music. Either way, f this album.

3/5

French pop. Album is long because it's the same songs twice, once in French and once in English. If you like French pop, then you'll probably love this. If not, then you probably won't.

Would probably be more enjoyable if on shrooms. Allegedly.

Johnny Cash

5/5

This album made me understand why people like live albums.

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

3/5

9 minute songs have their time and place, and that's on shrooms. This is probably 5/5 on shrooms.

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

4/5

90s sloppy Philly hip-hop, what's not to love?

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

5/5

I wore this album out when it was first released.

Chris

Christine and the Queens

3/5

French pop. Album is long because it's the same songs twice, once in French and once in English. If you like French pop, then you'll probably love this. If not, then you probably won't.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

5/5

Even the skits were relatively unobtrusive

Stardust

Willie Nelson

5/5

Super chill. Older Willie Nelson singing his favorite pop songs.

The Velvet Underground

4/5

I could do with a break from the BritRock, but at least this album is mostly chill. "After Hours" was my favorite, which is funny because it's not the normal vocalist.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

2/5

There's some great lyrics in there, but overall he and the music both sound bored of themselves. I'd potentially like it if I listened to it more, but I'm just not going to.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

If you like reggae, then you'll love this. I just don't like reggae.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

It was.. perfectly fine music.

Achtung Baby

4/5

There's some classics on here. It's a solid album overall. Orchestral at times.

LP1

FKA twigs

3/5

I wanted to like this more...

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

The album feels like a chill session with Dylan and a jam band. Each song has something I like, but then goes on and on. Apparently Wikipedia says it was a very influential album, so for that I can give thanks.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Party drugs. Do party drugs with this one. This is a 2 for me normal, and probably a 4 on party drugs (allegedly).

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Apparently this was her debut and she was 19 at the time. This feels exactly like that, which isn't to say it was bad in anyway, just that the hubris of youth is kicking strong in this one. I would have loved to hear what she had to say later in life.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

I don't think I was in the right frame of mind for this album.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

Definitely not what I expected because of the name, but this was fantastic soulful 70s music.

Dire Straits

2/5

Enough with the britRock, damn.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

This album is fast and furious. If that's what you're into, you're gonna love it.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

5/5

This is an album that's already on my perennial relisten list.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

1/5

Normally I say stuff like this would be better on drugs, but I'm certain this wouldn't be. It sounded like video game boss music from the 90s.

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

Eh, not for me. Plus the dude is notoriously all the things he preaches against.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

Had to listen around ads on YouTube, so maybe I would give it higher if I could get the full experience.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

Eh.

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

4/5

Solid 60s music

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

Solid 50s jazz

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

1/5

I think this is my first one star. It had nothing I wanted.

The Joshua Tree

4/5

The album is front loaded with classics, but worth sticking around till the end.

Fantastic

The Suburbs

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

I think I would like this more on multiple listens.

Street Signs

Ozomatli

3/5

Latin inspired funk and shit like that, rather shallow though.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

What needs to be said?

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

A drug fueled 70s variety show, where instead of comedy skits, they sing about cop killings and how brainwashed we all are. I can see how that's influential to music, but not necessarily something I want to listen to.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

2/5

Fuck off with the Brit Rock. It's like this list is 90% BritRock

Cut

The Slits

1/5

I'm just going to copy another reviewer: Oh good, more late 70s English punk. Again. After all the rest of it. But it's ok, I'm sure THIS one will be a masterpiece and not amateur garbage like everything else from that time. And they're called the SLITS! I'm sure that's not a reference to anything. About as subtle and sophisticated as everything else about this genre I guess. But I'm prepared to be blown away. ha ha no, it fucking sucked. 1/5.
