This album is alright, just not something I am interested in listening to.

Unfortunately this isn't available on Spotify or Apple Music, but I was able to listen to it. I liked this more than I expected... Hey Grandma, Omaha, Naked If I Want To and Indifference really stood out.

This album is depressing as hell, I just can’t get into this.

This album sent me down a Nile Rodgers rabbit hole, I loved it!

I love Queens of the Stone Age but for some reason haven't listened to this album. I wish I would have sooner! Listened to it twice in a row today.

What a great album, I enjoyed this way more than expected going into it!

Radiohead sucks and this album is terrible.

This is a nice album but too low energy for me.

This was a fun listen.

One of the greatest rock'n'roll albums of all time.

This was an interesting album, a wide range of moods and styles.

This was quite the journey. It’s worth reading the wiki page for context on this album.

I love the Beatles but hadn't listened to this album before. I love it, I can't believe it took me this long to give it a listen!

There are some great blues songs on here. The 2000 reissue has a track called Medicated Goo which is a banger!

The first half of this album is legendary. Don't get me wrong the whole album is amazing, it start strong and ends strong as well. Hope You're Feeling Better rocks.

Not really a fan of country music, but I liked this one.

I really enjoyed this one, a lot of funky grooves.

I like this even though it’s a lot heavier than music I normally listen to

The Talking Heads are one of my favorite bands and I love everything about this album.

Immediately recognized the first song Apache. This is a fun album, lots of bongos. It’s worth reading the wiki page to get the backstory of this one.

This is an interesting album with all kinds of music styles blended in.

Great voice and song writing, just not my preferred style of music.

This is a fun album, great beats.

Love the funky music

I really enjoyed this one. I was already super familiar with Time to Pretend, Kids and Electric Feel but never listened to the album.

Not my favorite Jack White album, there are some good songs on here.

Incredible album. Strange Brew is one of my favorite songs.

I really liked this album, I’ve heard some of the songs before but the whole thing is a solid listen. Hold On is a great song!

I have loved this album since it was released.

I enjoyed listening to this album. It’s out of my wheelhouse, glad it was on the list.

This was better than I expected to be honest, love the blues grooves throughout the album.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this one and was pleasantly surprised.

There are some good songs on this album but it’s not my favorite Beatles solo album.

Not my favorite Beatles album but it still is full of classics.

She had an amazing voice, this was a good album!

I didn’t like this album very much but there were a couple tracks I dig

The Man in Black had such an incredible voice and the stories he tells in his songs will suck you in. Boy Named Sue brings me back to the early Napster days when I first started discovering his music, that was a regular in the playlist rotation for years! I haven’t listened to the full album until today, basically a quarter century later! I like Live at Folsom Prison a little bit better but this is classic. His interactions with the crowd are amazing to hear.

This was my first time listening to The Flaming Lips. At first I wasn't liking it much but by the end I really liked this album. I honestly don't think I've heard anything like this before.

I remember getting this CD as a teenager because of the Scooby Snacks song. There are some other incredible songs on this album, and it could be bias because of nostalgia but this is a most excellent album.

I love this album. I remember the first time I heard Clint Eastwood, it was unlike any other music I was listening to at the time. I've had this on repeat since it showed up on the list.

I was not familiar with this band and I enjoyed this album, it was fun. I like the energy.

Even though some of the songs on this album have been played over and over and over on rock radio through the years (hell decades) this is the first time I've listened to the whole album. This is a great album!

This is a fun album and it's funky as hell. There are some insanely good bass lines and guitar solos throughout the whole thing!

This album is lame and Morrissey sucks. I will admit I did like the song Break Up the Family. For that reason I'll give this 2 stars.

I thought this was a terrible album. I found no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

This is a powerful album and hits hard right from the get go. Love the funky beats and the raw lyrics!

This was out of my wheelhouse, I've heard of Bobby Womack but hadn't listened to him before. Giving this a 2 but this made me curious to go check out some of his older stuff.

This is an amazing album, there is no way I could say enough about it. I remember the first time hearing this shortly after it was released, easily on of my all-time favorite albums.

This one caught me off guard, I didn't like it at first, but as the album went on I started to like it. I think this is more of an acquired taste.

This was an interesting album, not sure I'll go back to it but I can appreciate what they were doing.

I wasn't expecting this one, amazing singing!

I remember a few tracks from when this came out, especially the video for Smack My Bitch Up. I finally listened to the album all the way through and ended up listening to it several times!

Somebody turned me on to this album a couple years after it came out and I immediately loved every second of it. One of my favorite albums ever and I would recommend this to anybody that hasn't heard it before.

I hadn't listened to The War On Drugs before, this is a cool mellow album with a psychedelic feel to it.

A legendary album and legendary band. I remember as a young kid seeing this album in my parents vinyl collection and the first time I heard the title track...holy shit! This is an easy 5 star in my book.

Hadn't listened to this band before and was pleasantly surprised! I'll be listening to this more and likely exploring more of their discography.

This was a fun album, I was pleasantly surprised by Just A Gigolo / I Ain't Got Nobody. I grew up in the 80's with David Lee Roth's version and had no idea it was a cover! I also really like You Rascal You by Hanni El Khatib and what do you know that's a cover of a Louis Prima song as well!

This was a fun and trippy album to listen to. I am only familiar with The Beach Boys mega hits so this was a pleasant surprise.

Willie the Pimp has been one of my favorite songs for years, not sure how I came across it. Might have been a Spotify mix. But I love the gritty blues vocals from Captain Beefheart not to mention the epic guitar solo afterwards. That being said, I have tried other Frank Zappa stuff in the past and I just do not like it. There is something special about Willie the Pimp though. So I saw this album show up, which I have not bothered to listen to outside of the song Willie the Pimp and thought I'd give Frank Zappa another try. I listened to this album and I could do without all of it but Willie the Pimp, such an incredibly awesome song! I am torn as to what to rate this album, it will be heavily weighted because of the song I mentioned before, Willie the Pimp. I mean I am almost considering giving this album a 4 because of this one song. Hot meat, hot rats Hot cats, hot zits

This is a good rock n' roll album.

This album rocks, I hadn't really listened to Mudhoney before and I am wondering why it took me so long to come around...

The songwriting and harmonies on this album are on another level. Songs like Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Wooden Ships, Long Time Gone…they make me feel nostalgic for a time that was before I was even born. And then there is Helplessly Hoping with the alliterations in the verses and the building harmonies in the chorus…amazing stuff. I’m giving this a 4 only because there are a few tracks I didn’t connect with like the ones I mentioned earlier.

This was my first time hearing a Cat Stevens album and I have to tell you I really enjoyed this, I can't believe he was only 22 when he recorded this.

There are some absolute bangers on this album!

This was a nice album to listen to. The music was upbeat and peaceful sounding, I'm not sure if the lyrical content reflects the mood I got from the music.

I have lost count of how many times I have listened to this album, it is absolutely one of my all-time favorites.

I've always been a fan of The Rolling Stones, I was inundated with it growing up. However this is probably the first time I've listened to one of their albums from beginning to end. I love the raw, bluesy feeling this album has. There are some incredible hits but there are also some incredible deep cuts too. I think if I could do half stars this would be a 4.5 but I'll round up to a 5.

This is an interesting album. I feel like I would have liked this more by listening to the vinyl, where each side has a different theme and the breaks between each side would be unavoidable.

This one took me by surprise. I am familiar with a handful of their songs from the first two albums, but I hadn't heard anything from this one before. What Goes On is now one of my favorite songs, I knew it immediately when it started. The only song I really didn't like is The Murder Mystery.

There are random Bowie songs I really like, but never dove into his albums. I initially wasn't sure what to think of this album... The song Queen Bitch is something I already have in regular rotation for a few years. I'm honestly not sure how I came across it, but I absolutely love it. The rest of the album does not sound like this song. On the 2nd listen I noticed more songs that I dig...Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things, Life on Mars?, Kooks, Quicksand, Andy Warhol, and Songs for Bob Dylan. On the 3rd listen I understand why this album is in the list. Incredible song writing. Holy shit David Bowie was a force to be reckoned with.

Another one of my favorite albums, I remember the first time I heard All Apologies on the radio when I was a teenager. Excellent album...it's interesting to compare the original album with the 2013 mix that's in the Deluxe Edition.

Ok hear me out...I watch a lot of baseball games, baseball documentaries, etc. The whole time I was listening to this album I couldn't stop thinking about baseball legends playing ball back in the day. I can honestly say I haven't set out to listen to Big Band music before but I enjoyed every second of this.

You call me a fool You say it's a crazy scheme This one's for real I already bought the dream

This is a fun album to listen to, another style of music I haven't really listened to before...love the energy.

This is the 2nd Stan Getz album that has showed up for me. Previous to this journey I had never heard of him, and this is not the type of music I have really listened to before. The first album I heard to was Getz/Gilberto and it blew me away, gave it 5 stars. Today I listened to Jazz Samba 4 times in a row. Another 5 stars, something about his music just Getz to me.

I can appreciate what they are doing with this album, but I just can't get into it. I like psychedelic rock and I feel like there are elements in this album, but there seems to be a lot of tension...

I dig this old style country, I was pleasantly surprised to find out Willie Nelson wrote a couple songs on this album.

I hadn't heard of this band before. This is a great album, especially after reading the wiki page.

Man oh man what a wildly awesome album. I really wasn't sure what to expect based on the band name and album cover. I have listened to it several times today and it keeps getting better on each listen. I did a little bit of a dive and found a few live videos on YouTube, Dave Thomas had amazing energy on stage. I'm not sure if other's would agree with me, but this album very so slightly reminded me of The Talking Heads and The Minutemen.

There are some good songs on here, I am just not much into the album.

There are some interesting beats on this album.

There are two versions of this album, a UK release and a US release. Thankfully these days it's easy to listen to both. Paint It Black definitely gives the US version the edge, but it's missing Mother's Little Helper which is also a great song. The rest of the album is okay. I read in the wiki that this came out shortly before Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde and the Beatles - Revolver... I like those albums better to be honest.

There are a few songs I liked, there are points where random instruments will come in and I liked that. The harmonizing throughout the album is great.

Can't go wrong with James Brown

Holy shit what a wild ride! There are so many crazy things going on with this album it will take many listens to unpack it all... I love the bluesy doom/stoner rock sound of Pittsburgh to Lebanon. From there it feels like a psychedelic trip until Human Cannonball which rocks. The rest of the album feels like a bad psychedelic trip, but the wild experimentation is fascinating. They include a lot of elements from genres I love. I had already been interested in listening to this since it was in Kurt Cobain's top 50 album list from his journals.
