She's very talented but didn't really grab me.

There's some good tracks scattered but I don't love it.

I don't like this. Helter Skelter cover sucks.

Classic!

Radiohead is also that band for me that has a bunch of cool songs then a bunch of gobbledygook. This is one of the better albums imo.

Black Sabbath is a cool doom song - Ozzy's voice kinda stinks. Album is jammy fun time. They're good at the guitar. The album art is garbage.

She's got a good voice but pretty boring music overall. Son of a preacher is a classic.

Blister in The Sun, Add it up, Gone Daddy Gone all very good tracks. Group has fun bass - vocals are sometimes really cool and sometimes boring drivel.

I guess this would be interesting in 1968. Cool that he performed in a prison but otherwise this is Johnny Snorefest. Doesn't even have Ring of Fire, what kinda setlist is that. Dewey Cox is better.

This is a really good album that is brought down by some crappy skits and a stupid Kenny Powers-esque autobiography at the end. It's fairly simple production but also catchy and does a great job of getting that foot tappin. Lyrics are decent but Kayne was never a poet. Highlights include Jesus Walks, Never Let Me Down, All Falls Down, and Workout Plan.

There's some fun jam bits in most of the tracks but it overstays its welcome without switching it up. Songs don't really go anywhere.

Not really my jam.

Iron Maiden was my gateway drug into metal. They are an incredibly talented band that has written some of the most influential music in heavy metal. The Number of the Beast is one of their greatest albums. They don't hold anything back and jump right into it on Invaders - introducing the listener to tasty riffs, sick bass, and lightning fast drums. Bruce Dickenson's commands the microphone with authority. Even when they slow it down (Children of the Damned) it's excellent. Halfway through we get to the title track which is fantastic. Other highlights include 22 Acacia Avenue and Run To The Hills, but there isn't a bad song on this album - it's a quick 40 mins of classic metal but when it's over it makes me want to jump to the next album in their discography.

Pretty good! Some good jams on here.

I found this to be a decent little album. Highlights include Breakdown, Anything That's Rock n Roll, and American Girl. Straightforward rock and roll - fitting for the time period it was released in. Enjoyable licks, vocals are alright and it's short and sweet - nothing feels too short nor too long. Solid 3.

Led Zeppelin are commonly known to be a pretty good band and one of the pioneers in the rock and roll and even hard rock space. I've listened to most Led Zeppelin albums and I don't know what it is but this one doesn't hit it for me like say I or II do. Custard Pie is an alright opener - very straightforward stuff that for me doesn't really get me tappin until I hear that harmonica. Things start getting better with The Rover. In My Time of Dying is good but could be half the length. Then we get to for me the highlights of the album, Trampled Under Foot and Kashmir. The second half of the album it starts to get a little boring. Bron-Yr-Aur is a nice little ditty and Down By The Seaside is nice - but nothing here is really memorable for me except The Wanton Song. Anyways it's a solid 3. If I wanted to listen to some Led Zeppelin I'd choose another album.

Alright, folks, let's talk about Kraftwerk's "Autobahn." This album might be considered a classic, but let me tell you, it's about as exciting as driving through Kansas - which is to say, not very exciting at all. The title track is 22 minutes long, which is longer than most people's attention span. It's like taking a long road trip with someone who won't shut up about their stamp collection. If you're looking for something to get you pumped up on your morning commute, "Autobahn" isn't it. It's more like elevator music for robots. And let's not forget about the album cover. It looks like it was designed by a first-grader with a ruler and a set of white and blue pencils. I mean, come on, guys, at least put in a little effort. Overall, if you're a fan of music that puts you to sleep, then "Autobahn" is the album for you. But if you're looking for something with a little more energy and excitement, you might want to look elsewhere.

I have a soft spot for the 80s sound. I love the gothic tone of their music. Overall it's okay - Lucretia through Flood II are solid but the rest of it is forgettable.

I'm not a huge fan of AC/DC personally, but you have to admit that have some bangers and have some really solid guitar. Hells Bells, Back in Black, Shook Me All Night Long, these are absolute classics that will light up any Manitoba social. The rest of the songs are pretty bland, fortgettable and same-y. The vocals suck - it's like if Axl Rose couldn't hit a note. The last track is absolute dog shit.

Musicianship on point. Wild World and Father and Son are very good. Nice sounding stuff but boring at times.

Guy's a jerk!

Jazz Rap!

Never really got into The Clash, however there are some fun punk tracks on this album. 48 Hours has some great gang vocals. Janie Jones is a good opener. White Riot is a great track. I don't love the Police and Thieves cover but otherwise fairly solid album.

I like this album quite a bit - some awesome tracks, especially the ones with Del (Clint Eastwood, Rock The House). M1 A1 might be more of a Blur song, but I really like it. Dropping a star because of Man Research, that track was annoying.

(Mandatory "SKA SUCKS") I've never heard of these guys before, but actually enjoyed this quite a bit. Solid short and catchy ska songs - I never realized A Message To You Rudy was them (which is apparently a cover of a reggae song). Favourites include Nite Klub and Little Bitch. Too Much Too Young is super repetitive.

I'm not one to listen to Ambient music - but this decent background music/sounds for office working or something that requires focus. The piano tracks are significantly better than the synthesizer tracks in my opinion. I don't think I'd ever listen to this again. It's cool that this was inspirational for some artists I guess.

She's got a great voice, but too much honky tonk. Shadowland is the best song - Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes is solid mariachi tune.

Neat idea but didn't really enjoy it

I really liked this, was always a fan of the hits of the Chemical Brothers but had never dived into an album. For the dance music of the 90s this was very different - love the breakbeats on this album. English raves in the 90s must have been awesome.

Couple decent tracks, but also a lot of filler. Songs with vocals are the best ones while the instrumental tracks feel more like interludes. Talented musicians on this album but felt pretty boring and same-y throughout.

Take On Me is decent but the rest is pretty bad. I even like synth and couldn't get into this. The vocals absolutely suck.

This is one of the best rap albums I've heard. Kendrick is a genius lyricist and has excellent flow. It's a fascinating album that tells a story of himself as a teenager growing up in Compton, surrounded by the gang violence purported by the Crips, Pirus, and Blood gangs, but not participating in it. He grew up surrounded by pressures to get involved in crime and gang lifestyles, but stayed out of it, having the dream to make it big in the rap game, and he did just that. Tracks like The Art of the Peer Pressure and maad city (certified banger) give a detailed look into growing up around that violence and his tone and flow (especially on maad city) make you feel like you're in it too. Swimming Pools (Drank), a song that has likely played at thousands of clubs and has been danced to by millions of drunks, discusses the connections between peer pressure and alcoholism that Kendrick was surrounded by growing up. The closer track, Compton, has an awesome Dre feature. Musically wise this album is solid - excellent beats and samples throughout. But the real instrument on this album is Kendrick, his rapping is one of the best in the industry, and his socially conscious lyrics are what make really enjoy it - it's rap music that makes you sit down and think about what is being said. Not to disparage gangster rap, I just prefer lyrics that reflect on the real issues rather than "get money, hit em up, y'all gonna make me lose my mind" lyrics.

The One I Love is a pretty good track but the rest is seriously meh. Musically fine but the vocalist is not for me.

Pretty enjoyable.

Pretty good stuff!

The only thing that would make this album better is Richard Cheese.

He's definitely a good rapper - I didn't have a ton of time with this record. The music was pretty interesting - never heard of "grime" before.

Rio is the best track. There's some decent stuff here, I like a good synth.

meh

I didn't realize how much I enjoyed this album. Is this dad rock? Excellent guitar. Great vocals. When the keys shine, do they ever shine. Also I had no idea the singer, guitarist, and backup singer (along with other crew) all died when their chartered plane crashed in 1977 - that got me down a little wikipedia rabbit hole. Free bird is also a 10/10 track. Really love Tuesday's Gone and Simple Man too.

She's very talented but didn't really grab me.

Really cool album. Musically fun - had me bobbin my head. Atlantis to Interzone is my fav track.

CARS AND GIRLS CARS AND GIRLS This is alright punk music - it's like a worse Clash. A mascot for a band is a strange thing - also Handsome Dick Manitoba is a dick.

This album is excellent. Honestly probably would've been 5 stars except for the Phoenix track having way too much spoken word before track gets going. Guy's an immense talent. Though this album really could've used his classic "chocolate salty balls" track.

They've got some good tracks but definitely feel like a diet Iron Maiden. Album opens strong with Rapid Fire, Metal Gods and the classic, Breaking The Law but then falls off a bit. United stinks. Living After Midnight is another classic but the remainder of the album is pretty forgettable. Also I didn't realize it wasn't officially part of the tracklisting, but because I had to hear it, Red, White & Blue should really give this review another star deduction.

Really solid hip-hop. I'm listening to this album for the first and it's crazy how I recognize so many of the beats because they've been in sampled in other tracks over the years. It shows the level of influence these guys had on the industry. The guys are right, it IS tricky to rock a rhyme that's right on time - but they do it. It's Tricky and Walk This Way are the top tracks for me.

Pretty solid album - they're a talented bunch.

I really didn't enjoy this album. The album opens with such promise as the title track is an excellent pop song. Then it goes completely downhill. With the only saving grace being Cherish. The slower tracks such as Promise To Fly and Oh Father are just brutal. Keep it Together is a decent track. Pray For Spanish Eyes is a decent slower tracker, with solid instrumentation throughout. The last track is a head scratcher - comes across as some sort of joke track. It is cool that a lot of the guitar on this album is from Prince.

An excellent Stink Floyd album. Sometimes I feel as though I like this more than Dark Side and the Wall. It's all kinds of excellent - Shine on You is just an excellent song. The pacing of this album is excellent even the two 12 minute tracks don't overstay their welcome. Excellent guitar work, drumming - love the synth throughout this album. The three middle tracks are all excellent too. This album also has my favourite album art. All around excellent.

There's some fun tracks on this album and instrumentally this is decent. I like the drumming on a lot of tracks - it's definitely that early stage punk-like sound. Harmonizing vocals are fun and I enjoy the keys whenever they're present. The lead vocals is kinda just yelling/shrilling and it's not great. I would not return to this album but glad I gave it a spin.

Very good

It's decent music but I wouldn't listen again.

Cool to see an album from the 50s, and a live one at that. Sarah Vaughan is a very talented singer, a beautiful voice who I'm sure made the club go crazy. Musically this is decent although not my favourite type of music. I would enjoy playing the Fallout series to this album.

This is pretty good stuff! Sometimes I can't get into the vocals but musically this is tight and it's very unique!

Nasty Nas! One of the greats.

There's some good music here overall - but the vocalist is a bit abrasive to me.

Got through my backlog with this one - some decent tracks - his overdubbed vocal thing is interesting. Coconut song is silly.

I regret being a visitor to this album.

This album is very bad. Not good! Prince is considered an enigma, a prodigy, one of the greats - but this album is just not good. The album starts off okay, 1999 and Little Red Corvette are half-decent songs. Everything after is downright terrible. Most tracks are 6-9 minutes and don't really offer much beyond a standard chorus/verse structure, so these tracks don't really go anywhere - why not make them 3-4 minutes then? I understand that this is a concept album and there's some story but that doesn't excuse making the music crap for the sake of whatever story he's trying to tell. I partially hope there's a better Prince album in this list but then I'd risk having to listen to some of his crap songs.

This album is excellent. Elton is a great songwriter. Even though the album is about 75 minutes, every song is solid. Love Lies Bleeding is so good and Saturday Night's Alright is a classic.

I really like this album - it's a solid indie rock album but it has some of that atmospheric sound that I like.

Enough Primal Scream! I'm sick of it! This album was not very good. It's like a mix of fairly normal rock songs and then these instrumental/industrial bits that go on too long. What was the band going for here? Trainspotting is 6 minutes too long - like I get it you use more than 4 instruments, cool. This is the first album I seriously considered submitting this review half way through.

First and foremost, fuck Kid Rock. I don't really understand how this guy got big - I guess people really wanted a redneck hero. He is decent at rapping - but he can't sing for shit and musically this is fairly weak - though you hear the occasional harmonica or keys that are nice. Bawitadaba is a classic and the Eminem verse on Fuck Off is solid. Otherwise.....MEH

This is decent ska - mostly fun.

Adele is a fantastic singer - there's really not too much else to say in this review. Musically this is pretty solid hitting the right notes in the pop, RnB and adult contemporary genres.

Classic!!

Nice easy background music but doesn't do a ton for me.

This guy is a solid soul singer. The title track is really good!

I really enjoy these jazzy instrumental albums - very fun and easy to listen to. This one is great.

While this list has too much Elvis Costello I thought this album was generally enjoyable. Pump It Up is a classic. I get tired of his voice but musically this fairly decent.

Pretty fun alternative rock - they really like to switch between the lighter rock/pop and more zany aggressive alternative rock sound. It makes for a dynamic sound. All that being said nothing really captured my interest all that much and I wouldn't come back to this.

She's a solid singer - there's some good music here. Organ is sweet on some of the tracks. Surprised I have never heard of her until now - solid soul.

There's some decent tracks on this album. Broken English is a fun song - she's pretty talented and an interesting song-writer (Why'd Ya Do It - vulgar but interesting story there I'm sure). She lived an interesting life! Being homeless and addicted to drugs/battling anorexia before releasing this album. Good for her.

Sly and The Family Stone have some really good songs but not all of this album hit it for me. Family Affair is solid single, but the slower songs don't really do it for me.

"Bob Dylan...he plays the guitar. Then he plays the harmonica around his neck. The man's considered a genius by everyone. In and out of music. Beyond music. He's a poet. So anyways, he plays the guitar, then he plays the harmonica, and that's a really talented man. But if some guy puts cymbals between his legs and he's a one man band, people say "wow what a re*ard". I mean that's way more talented." Norm MacDonald This is a pretty solid album. Dylan's a great songwriter.

Ray Charles is a friggin beaut. Super talented dude with a great band - this kind of music always makes me feel like I'm in another decade which I love.

I've never been a big Aerosmithhead but this album is very solid. It's just that good time rock n roll. Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion are classics. Big Ten Inch Record is a hilarious cover - love that dick innuendos found their way into songs (original Bull Jackson version is from 1952) over 70 years ago.

John Lennon kinda looking like a younger Bernie Madoff here. Very good album except for the last track. I like some of his honky tonk rock stuff. Reminds me of the Yellow River Boys. Imagine there's no Yoko......

This probably my favourite RHCP album. The first 6 tracks are absolute gold, with Parallel Universe being one of my favourites. I do find the album gets a little boring towards the end (Savior). But this is an excellent album with fun melodies. I'm glad Anthony Keidis got more into singing on this album, it added a whole other dimension to their sound.

Sunshine of your love is a classic but the rest isn't that good. Fun guitar licks but vocals stink!

Produced by Brian Eno.....you don't say? I enjoyed this as some background working music. I don't know if I'd ever return to it, but it's pretty good. There's a lot of weird background noises at times and the sudden noises in "The Sound of Someone....." were abrasive but I will attribute that to some Brian Eno bullshit. The guitar and violin are beautiful. Not sure what Zopf is exactly but the tracking listing and structure of this whole album is interesting.

This is decent stuff. First track is tons of fun.

One of the greatest rappers of all time, even though he only really has two albums. Love the beats and instrumentals on this album and of course Biggie is the main event. Juicy and Big Poppa are absolute classics. I'm docking a star though for the explicit sex content - call me a prude but when I'm listening to my gangster rap while I do audit-related work I'd rather not hear Biggie getting his dick sucked.

This album feels like one big jam session - it's enjoyable but a bit on the long side.

I shat on the last Sonic Youth album we looked at but I preferred this one. There was a song or two with incoherent screaming that sucked but this was a lot better IMO.

This is fun

Gets a little repetitive given it's length but it's good jazz and the performers are super talented.

Not the best Oasis album but there's some decent tracks.

I like this stuff!

There's moments of good stuff, but this mostly drab and boring.

Some pretty fun ditties on this album! I wonder what instrument the horse played.

Yes Yes Yes! This is quite nice. I definitely didn't realize Heads Will Roll was the original version of a popular A-Trak song (well remix actually). Awesome song. Pretty solid indie rock - I like the vocalist. There's some Metric vibes here for sure.

Excellent album. The guitar is so nice and relaxing and his vocals are very soothing. He's a sad story though.

Pretty enjoyable background tunes.

There's some fun stuff here but also some weird ass stuff. Aumgn could be a horror movie score.

My generation is a cool song. The Who hasn't really been a band I've gotten into. There's some decent rock n roll here but nothing super special.

A funking good time!!

Excellent hip-hop.

I enjoyed this as background music - I guess the groundbreaking part of this album was the use of rock & roll music from Mylo's upbringing, but not knowing any of those songs means that it didn't really mean anything to me. With that said this was enjoyable, easily digestible house music from the early 2000s.

This album defined my grade 7 year. At the time this music was super unique and groundbreaking - so many genres mixed together. Excellent album from start to finish. There isn't a bad track even if CRAWWLLLLING INNNNN MYYY SKINNN is meme-worthy. Forgotten and Runaway are bangers. I wish this band kept doing this kind of sound - Meteora was great but everything after that got worse and worse imo. RIP Chester.

Very good album.

Ice Cube is crazy as fuck! This is awesome stuff - some big hits here. It Was a Good Day, Check Yo Self. Just good stuff!

Fantastic stuff. I need to listen to this more.

This is some pretty sweet funk

Some fine tunes on this album.

I don't particularly enjoy this.

Excellent album - bringing in Bob Rock took them to the big leagues, even if I prefer their thrashier sound more.

Really good stuff

Sweet Dreams is a fun song and a classic but most of this album stinks. NEXT!

This is much better than the Autobahn album - there's a few real songs here that are decent (The Robots, The Man Machine) but there are still a few tracks that don't really go anywhere.

I don't really like his singing voice - musically this is decent. This album goes on a long time though, overstays it's welcome.

There's some cool riffs and some fun groove on some of these songs but the whole album sounds like it was recorded in a tunnel and the vocals really suck at times.

The last track is decent but I was also probably excited for this to be over. A lot of crap inserted into the tracks - Eno does what he does.

It's Britney, Bitch. The singles on this album are excellent. The rest of the album.....isn't really. I don't think I enjoyed any of the non-singles, especially Soda Pop. Sometimes and Born To Make You Happy are excellent songs. Baby One More Time is a classic and Crazy is also excellent. Can't believe she was 16 when this stuff was made. Good for her.

See Logan's Review

This is decent folk music but nothing special. No Graceland that's for sure.

Some really good tracks on here - Black Skinhead, Blood on the Leaves, Guilt Trip. I do appreciate the more industrial sound he goes for on these tracks. Some really stupid decisions on this album too, the screams on I Am a God. Some of the sound effects - very abrasive. You can tell this is when Kanye was starting to really stray from the solid production he was known for, and when his ego went really overboard (some of the lyrics are awful, "Eatin' Asian pussy, all I need was sweet n sour sauce" - CANCELLED). I do feel like I would get into some of the tracks more on subsequent listens, but also with some of the sound effects, random screams, and odd sample choices ("UH-HUH HONEY" on Bound 2) I really don't want to.

I enjoyed this album - really groovy music and fun tracks. Vocal guests were a mixed bag.

Boring and long.

Maybe I'd get it if I was American.

I didn't realize that Elvis Costello had a punk side. This is decent.

I like the music on this album - Madonna's vocals are also very strong. Ray of Light is a great track.

Goes good with toast.

I enjoyed this album. The Thom Yorke features were sweet too.

Probably the best folk/indie/whatever album front to back, or at least top 5. Best Fleet Foxes album too (though the other 3 are excellent).

This is fantastic.

This is fantastic.

I didn't hate this - some interesting stuff.

Good rap!

Some good tracks on this!

I enjoyed this one - guy is still a dick.

OUTLAW COUNTRY BABY - I actually liked this quite a bit.

Some good rock n roll tracks in here but wouldn't listen again. Probably awesome in their era.

I haven't listened to them much before but I really enjoyed this album!

Besides the Eno shit this is pretty good.

I felt like part of the family.

This is an excellent album.

It's okay - pretty sure I've heard better Talking Heads albums.

Nice music! Chill stuff.

Solid proggy rock album.

Excellent album. Makes me wanna do cocaine.

Mrs Robinson!

Really good!

Decent album - not a huge thrill.

There's no jokes on this. False advertising. Honestly good though - love the orchestral stuff.

It's not Garbage! Some good tracks.

The Weight is a classic track, but the rest is pretty forgettable.

This is really solid - I really like the vocals and the songs have this unique sound.

There's some cool loops and beats on this but I found it a bit boring and the vocals were just okay.

This was fine.

SWAMP ROCK BABY

DECENT

Come on Eileen is good but Don't Walk Away Eileen is better - did not like this very much.

Ray Charles is great - that being said this album is too long. I got stuff to do like listen to 1000 more albums here.

This is a neat, psychedelic experience.

This is really good - never heard this album!

Fun background music.

Really good music - but I've also struggled a bit with the vocalist, he just seems bored.

Last song was cool but probably because I wanted it to be over.

Some huge hits here and some solid ones that I haven't heard much before (Jenny Was A Friend of Mine, Midnight Show). The last two songs suck though! Pretty good album in total.

Mostly boring but some neat piano at times.

Awesome album.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is a fun song.

TINY DANCER

He's good but a lot of this is boring. Santana feature is cool.

Some decent tracks but I don't like the vocalist much.

What a silly band name!

QUEEN OF ROCK N ROLL BABY She's excellent. Crazy that she was 45 when she put out what is likely her best album. Amazing her career took off in her middle years.

Bonus star for dogs on the cover. Waking the Witch and Watching You Without Me are really strange songs. Running Up That Hill is a classic.

HOW DO YA DO

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this album. Some excellent tracks and lots of classics that didn't realize were Stevie Wonder songs. There is a bit of filler in this double album and I wish this site would stop posting double albums haha.

Typical English indie whatever.

One of the best punk albums of all time. There's nothing else that needs to be said.

I don't like ABBA.

One of the best Beatles albums.

That cars are cars song is kinda dumb but the album is pretty good.

OUR HOUSE

This is an excellent album. I prefer Andre's side, but Big Boi's side is really good too. Some absolute classics on here.

Frankie boy! What a gem

Not a huge fan of the genre, but came away enjoying this album.

these guys suck

This has been one of the biggest surprises and best albums in this list so far. This is awesome stuff.

More like the Rolling Bores!

Very nice improvised piano. Weird clap rhythm at the end.

A handful of good tracks and a handful of mehhhh

These guys suck ass - how did they get anywhere.

Too long

"Let's take classical Christmas songs and put a fuck ton of noise in the background" - Phil Spector, convicted murderer.

The blues are great but the vocals are not for me - it's like a shitty Sublime.

If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

This is solid! A couple of classic hits here too.

I did not particularly enjoy this. Good singing I guess? Boring overall.

Lo-fi.....or lo-quality? Meh

This is pretty fun stuff.

Some cool funk tunes here. Last song is awesome.

Fulsom Prison Blues part 2. Good live album.

I really enjoyed this.

It definitely consists of sounds.

Interesting album art. Music is kinda meh for me.

Excellent album. Great sounding and lots of good tracks.

It's a nice set and Nirvana are great but I'm tired of getting live albums in this list.

I thought this was quite good!

Awesome

Pretttttttay good

Iggy my man what an album

It's not bad but I expected more.

Some solid working music - I enjoyed this especially given how old it is. The opening and closing tracks are garbage even though I guess it serves some purpose.

Blur has some good songs but this album was pretty boring.

This is easy background music - pretty neat.

This is pretty good!

Hey it's got a song that was in a Tony Hawk game, nice.

Pretty solid album.

There were some decent tracks, but as far as grunge goes (not my preferred genre) it's.......fine?

Never heard of her before but I thought this was really solid pop music.

This is really fucking sweet. It's like a non-country Willie Nelson album.

Some pretty sweet tunes.

There's some good tracks scattered but I don't love it.

FREAK OUT!

This is one of the best rap albums of all time. Eminem is one of the GOATs. There is really nothing else to say. Highlights are The Way I Am, Kill You, Bitch Please Part 2, and Criminal.

Boring and drab

Pretty good.

I'm Bob Dylan howdoyado

Didn't seem like the Bee Gees but was alright.

This album is so damn good.

Nice music.

No bueno. Why does New Wave mostly suck?

This is one of the best live albums I've listened to. There's just something about symphony music and heavy metal that go so well together. Would have been a heck of a show to see.

Super fun album. Really enjoy the guitar throughout, and Meat Loaf has a great voice.

Not a huge fan of the style but there's definitely some good tracks here and there.

This is pretty damn sweet. She's got great flow.

I don't think this genre is for me. Drones on and on and on.

I like his voice but the music is pretty boring and he's an ass, so....meh!

This album is so good. Very chill but mesmerizing and memorable. Lots of feels when I listen to this one.

This is pretty good but CeeLo Green is a terrible person.

I really liked this - soul, jazzy, bluesy, fun time rock - great vocals, nice keys.

There are better Talking Heads albums.

This is good stuff.

Jeru The DaMAJOR - this guy is solid.

This is pretty good. I like the Mexican style blended into the Indie sound.

High energy garage rock - love it. Really fun album.

Never heard of this guy. I think his girlfriend stabbed him, just saying.

There's parts of Radiohead I like and parts where I just feel like I don't get it.

I like LCD Soundsystem but I don't love this album. I found their previous efforts to be a lot more dance-y and while there are some solid ones on this album (Call The Police) there's too much slow stuff for me. I prefer Sound of Silver or This is Happening.

He's the king baby. So many fucking bangers.

I find a lot of albums in this genre area uninspired and bland, but I really enjoyed this one. Personal Jesus is a classic.

This album is a (nuclear) blast!

These guys are fun and have some tasty licks, though I wouldn't come back to it.

Excellent album.

This is a great album. It's got that punk edge mixed with traditional Irish music. RIP

Not the right country road song. Overall decent though.

Not bad for the genre imo

Love me some CCR.

The music does not match the album art. The music is pretty interesting and decent but the album cover is where this album shines.

There's some good tracks but the album feels a bit long.

Dude you're getting Adele!

They have some fun, quick songs - but after hearing 18 different Motorhead songs I felt like I heard 3? They all kinda sound the same - but it could also be the live environment? Pretty meh.

There's some fun southern rock here but it wears out its welcome rather quickly - one disc would have been enough.

Some good tracks on this one. I enjoyed it.

Rock n roll baby

There's some cool funky sounds on this album. Don't particularly care for spoken word but there are some interesting sounds and it's interesting how it's essentially a story (with some creepy ass subject matter). Interesting but would never listen again.

Ahhhh I don't care for this

Excellent album - I'm not even a huge grunge fan but the songs are excellent, drumming is great, Kurt was awesome at what he does. Some of the more punk tracks like Territorial Pissings are awesome.

I thought this was really good.

Makes me wanna get to the beach!

I enjoy a certain amount of thrash and this is almost too much thrash. I don't care for the vocals. Musically it's decent.

Radiohead is also that band for me that has a bunch of cool songs then a bunch of gobbledygook. This is one of the better albums imo.

I've listened to this Daft Punk album the least out of all them, but it's really quite good. You can see how influenced they were from acts like Kraftwerk. There's some really good tracks on here (Da Funk, Around The World). For me this doesn't rise to the level of Discovery or RAM, but it's still solid.

This was some quite nice sounding music. Pretty relaxing and groovy.

Who knew the Rolling Stones just needed some sitar? I enjoyed this.

far out man!

Really enjoyable.

There's some really good songs but the album kinda wears on me. Favourites are Power of Equality, Suck My Kiss, and Give It Away.

Awesome album - these guys are excellent.

It's like if Radiohead decided to be awesome and not boring.

TIME OF THE SEASONNNNNN FOR LOVINGGGGGG This album is pretty good! Always nice to listen to old rock that I would never otherwise hear, when it's good at least.

A little too honky tonk for me but there are some dittys.

Awesome album. Not a bad track here.

This sucks - some of it is cool but most of it sucks, so it sucks!

Slough to get through after a while - it has some good songs but gets boring.

Interesting background music - but why is a score in this list? This is 1001 ALBUMS not 1001 movie soundtracks. I haven't seen this movie - would like to I guess?

This is okay

Excellent album - the last two tracks are soooo good.

The hits are pretty good but I don't care for much of this.

I thought this was quite enjoyable.

Some decent tracks, good production. He's a good rapper even though I've hardly listened to him.

She's an absolute talent for sure but musically I found this fairly boring.

I enjoyed the blueisness of it. Riders on the Storm is a classic. Solid album altogether.

I'm pretty over live albums being in this list.

HONKY TONK - it's honestly fine - old me would hate it.

Some enjoyable mo-town for a friday.

She's pretty great - good tunes.

A live album that isn't two hours! This is fun - BB is a legend.

I don't particularly like U2 but this is one of their better showings.

The guy sounds like Weird Al sometimes - this is meh.

These guys walked so every other band in the punk genre could run.

I got into Slipknot a few years ago - this album is excellent. This album defined the metal genre in the late 90s/early 2000s. So much drums, chaotic guitars, Corey's screams, there's just so much on this. 5/5 great to mosh to.

This is fine. Radiohead is overrated.

This is pretty sweet - honestly reminds me of Vulfpeck.

Some neat ideas but pretty droney and boring for me.

An incredible debut album - socially conscious, loud, innovative, and well done.

Classic Bob

I don't care for Sting

Pretty boring and lame

This album is so damn good. Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova, Hello, Wonderwall - there isn't a bad song.

This is a cool album!

This is a challenging listen. First of all it's too long - there's too many filler tracks. I appreciate the dark themes and tones but I find the industrial influence makes the songs feel like they drag on and overall go too slow for my liking. The Beautiful People is of course a banger but that's a faster tempo song that is much different than say, Man That You Fear. Also fuck this guy - he seems like a real piece of shit.

Musically some of this is nice, but it gets really boring - the vocalist is boring too.

I usually enjoy me some Dolly.

It's fine - very much a sound of it's time.

It's a pretty solid album through and through - a few weird tracks that are just too weird.

The original gangster rap album? At least one of the best!

Nick Drake is so damn good.

Pretty pretty pretty good

Ehhhhh this isn't very good, mostly because of the vocals.

Some neat songs but gets boring.

Some awesome songs here - a few boring ones though.

One of my gateways into hard rock and metal. This is one of the best hard rock albums of all time, if not the best. Guns N Roses peaked on their first album, which is wild (they've got some bangers after, but nothing is as complete and good as Appetite). Welcome To The Jungle is the perfect opening - other favs of mine include Night Train, Think About You, and Out Ta Get Me. Of course the singles are all very good too.

Boring butt rock

It's not bad - vocals are a little droney for me but musically it's alright.

I enjoyed the show!

I've never heard of these guys before but this is pretty okay. I feel like you have to have a big IQ to understand this one - because all I hear is echoy vocals, a screaming banshee, and mild guitar and drums.

Fun album!

Pretty good!

Down The Dolce Vita was cool but the rest sucked.

Chemical Brothers and Prodigy are better but I don't mind this.

Having known Smack My Bitch Up, Breathe, and Firestarter for years I was curious about the rest of this album. I love this big beat, electropunk stuff - really enjoyed this album. Some songs are catchier than others but overall this is really good. RIP Flint

They're very talented. Vocalist has a great voice. Slow ass Americana isn't exactly my style (I always enjoy it better in the live format) but this is pretty good - I just wouldn't listen to it on my own.

Interesting album! Wouldn't revisit but it was decent.

This is a very cool album - never heard of her!

This is pretty great

The best Kanye album.

Very good album - some classics on here - like the move into R&B/Soul.

Enough live albums - this is like listening to a musical which I cannot understand at all because it is in French. Why do I have to listen to this before I die?

I generally dislike Prince's music but this album is quite good!

This album is awesome. Bob Marley is great.

Ok this is a cool album that I'd expect to see in a list like this. Very interesting, I enjoy the nuclear weapon themes throughout. Musically very cool downtempo with Indian and I'm sure many other influences. Fan of this.

This is nice folky music.

I don't like this. Helter Skelter cover sucks.

Awesome stuff - TUTTI FRUTTI

Lots of great songs on this album - Killing Me Softly is an all-timer.

Pretty good classic hip-hop.

She's really talented and this is kinda nice background music - but it's pretty boring and minimalist - not a ton going on. Weyes Blood is great though.

5 for Album title alone - then -3 because most of this sucked

I really like this - not a huge Neil Younghead but he's really growing on me.

This might go down as a classic R&B/Soul album - Frank is a great vocalist - I liked this quite a bit.

There's some neat riffage here and there, and the fact that most of the music is all samples and synth is neat - but it's generally abrasive and not very enjoyable.

This is decent but I wouldn't go around listening on my own time.

Fun, easy, punk rock - these guys paved the way for the genre. Not a band I listen to much but Blitzkreig Bop is a BOP.

Really amazing guitar for most of it but I dunno the songwriting is kinda meh

Really good stuff

good background music

Neat stuff!

This is pretty good!

Eh this is just okay. Singer looks like Alice Cooper.

This is decent - some songs sound like Walmart Oasis but it's a nice listen generally.

This is pretty awesome - solid folk. Makes me want a pint.

Nothing special - easy listening rock

Very good - Jay-Z is great - Renegade is a sick track.

Interesting concept album. I like the music of some of this but it feels like a fancy spoken word album, thought he would rap more. It's interesting but Original Pirate Material is a better album imo.

Some decent tracks on this! For 80s new wave this is better than a lot of the famous acts.

There's some interesting tracks on this. Never heard of them before so always cool to hear a new (old) punk group.

I was surprised by this one - pretty decent.

Some fun songs but nothing too special

Very good! I like the Albini mixing even if the singles lost that during the recording process.

This is pretty good

Bjork is interesting but not something I'd revisit.

Some cool songs on this! No More Mr Nice Guy is a classic.

35 minutes in and I'm not finishing this - even if its avant garde or experimental doesn't mean it doesn't suck.

k.d. lang is a treasure

I enjoyed this one they really went back and forth between a 90/00s indie sound and then more grunge/garage. Pretty stripped down and interesting.

Eh this is pretty drab and boring.

This was decent listening!

I like this! Good stuff - LOVE ME LOVE ME SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME

A much much better Captain Beefheart album. Very much 1960s bluesy rock n roll. I enjoyed this quite a bit.

I thought this was solid - Barbarism begins at home was a great track. Still gonna eat meat though.

Some nice easy-listening old time country. Wouldn't listen again but it's fine. The Buckaroos ain't bad.

Yeah Stevie Wonder is great - superstitious is a banger.

Decent easy listening folk - American Pie - funny movie!

This was pretty good - cool to see some newer acts in this list.

This is awesome - great live album and it's short too which I appreciate. Would've been a hop!

There's some fun ideas of songs here but it gets kind of repetitive.

He's pretty good but I also find this boring.

Not bad!

It's a bit long but there was some interesting stuff here!

Not bad!

Nice ballads! Very dark lyrics obviously - Nick Cave is pretty good.

I enjoyed this - Lupe is pretty good. This album isn't a fiasco.

ICE T is a good rapper, except now he's a cop!!!

Generic and boring - why is this in this list?

Some fun rock and roll - never heard of these guys - it's conventional for the times but enjoyable.

Some interesting sounds on this record but I don't particularly love the type of music.

BIRD UP!

This is a fun live album but the drum solo at the end is kinda lame.

Not bad but pretty boring from the usual Beck music.

This is pretty awesome - would love to hear something like this at Folk Fest.

She's a good singer and rapper but a lot of these songs aren't doing it for me. Not sure if I just don't get it or if I have to give it more listens (which I won't).

Some solid Rock and Roll - Greensleeves got me pumped for the holidays.

Pretty boring overall

This stuff FUCKS

80s drivel - this stuff is hit and miss for me and most of this was a miss

I really enjoy the groovier direction Slipknot took on some of these songs. It was a change in sound that I think was welcome. Last album to feature Joey and Paul (RIP to both) so it's an important one. Some big hits on here. Not as groundbreaking as their self-titled or Iowa but a great album nonetheless.

Hmm this ain't for me.

She's very good - similar voice to Weyes Blood.

This is enjoyable!

This is some fun little rock n roll.

There's some neat psychedelia stuff on here, given it's Frank Zappa and friends, but then there's some avant-garde stuff that feels unnecessary. Appreciate the concept though I didn't read into it much.

I thought this was quite good.

Classic!

It didn't seem that dangerous! Thin Lizzy has some good songs but not much staying power for me - pretty cookie cutter 70s rock and roll. That being said this automatically gets at least a 3 for having The Boys are Back in Town.

They put the fun in FUNky.

This is pretty good!

Snore!

This is decent! Couple of odd tracks - but generally fun. Also boobs.

It's cool to see albums from the last 10 years find their way into this listing. This is really good - she's a very good singer - the music and beats are solid. Good features (fuck Travis Scott though). Didn't really pay much attention to the lyrics but they seem good - I can see how this album ended up here.

Better than I expected.

Some good tracks but pretty same-y.

Ryan Adams is talented but there's definitely some filler here - I prefer his rockier tunes than his ballads. Tina Toledo's Street Walkin Blues is great. I think a few more listens and I'd enjoy it more - but it's a long album too.

Boring - doesn't ruin my day since it's background music but I had to listen to THIS before I died?

This is pretty solid!

Classic!

This is interesting music, not my favourite but she's talented.

Great band name, made me hungry. This is a pretty fun little folk country album - nothing too special but for the time I bet it was.

Eh nothing special

Morrissey is a shit but this is quite good.

Generally fine - some cool songs but sounds like everything else that came out in the folk rock genre in that decade.

This is a bit fun - nothing too special.

Awesome riffs throughout this album.

I enjoyed this disco album.

Tainted Love is a classic - the rest of this ranges from meh to okay.

This is pretty solid rock. I recognize a few tracks but mostly didn't know this band.

I never really listened to Anthrax, but this is awesome.

Their straight-up rock songs are solid (money for nothing) - but their ballads drag this down.

Musically good but I do not like his voice - too froggy for me.

Starman, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City. So many good tracks on this one.

She's really good - the album conceptually is interesting and I appreciate the variety of styles here. And an Of Montreal feature! Cool

Haven't heard this in a few years - some good tracks on here!

One of the best metal albums of the 90s - Walk, A New Level, Hollow, Fucking Hostile and more. The trashiness of this album is excellent and Dimebag's guitar is unreal. RIP Dimebag and Vinnie.

I thought this was really good - I liked this.

There is way too much 80s synth-pop crap in this list - maybe some catchiness on this record but I'll never listen again. Do all these bands have the same vocalist?

Did not expect to see this genre represented in this list. I didn't mind this but didn't love it either - could see how they inspired the next wave of post-hardcore acts like At The Drive-In.

Excellent album. A pop artist successfully capturing the sounds of the 90s into an alternative-rock pop album. She's an immense talent.

Excellent album - great blend of indie rock with electronic. Kids is an all-time song.

She's quite good! I enjoyed this - sounds like she was a big deal in South Africa.

Love this stuff - shining star is a classic.

Ahhhh not great.

This is better than a lot of the new wave in this list. Karma Chameleon is a classic.

I really enjoyed this jazz fusion stuff.

Some nice folk music.

Sophisto-pop? More like sophisto-snoozefest!! Sophisto-poop! Sophisto-trash! This is very boring - maybe it would work in a restaurant or a lobby or something, but wow.

There is some decent stuff here but it's mostly a bit boring for me.

Classic album - very good, title track is so good.

This is fine - no Daft Punk!

This was decent.

I thought this was really good!

Quite good.

Very good!

Some solid hip-hop! The Message is a classic. That melody on It's Nasty sure is familiar!

Very boring

Not bad! I think I'd like their hardcore punk stuff before the reggae influence came in.

Classic! Always enjoy LCD Soundsystem.

She's very good - there's some good tracks on here. I liked the Emperor's New Clothes. Nothing Compares 2 U is also a classic I recognized a bit.

I need to listen more Fugazi, this was awesome.

Some decent indie music. My first time hearing Pavement. I would check out more in the future.

Good stuff

This is okay. I don't love the vocals.

The KING!

I am a sucker for 80s hair metal-pop stuff. This is fun, the solos are cool, the vocals are tight. Not every song is a banger but it's enjoyable enough!

Some fun psychedelic stuff

It was pretty good and interesting.

Not a big country guy - he's okay but it's nothing special.

Not very into this.

This was a step up from the last couple albums this week - I enjoyed it but probably wouldn't listen again. Bossa Nova to me is lobby or restaurant music.

Yeah I really liked this - some hard rock with a real groove. Mike Patton is an awesome vocalist. He sounds so much like Anthony Keidis at this point in time.

This is pretty boring and I didn't really get into it.

YAAAS QUEEN

There's a couple of neat songs but not enough to have lasting appeal.

It's okay. A little meh. REM isn't my jam.

The production and beats are pretty solid, though at times get repetitive. Paper Planes is a classic. She's a decent rapper.

Decent as background music - nothing too crazy though.

I usually don't listen to "world music" but this is was pretty fun and enjoyable. Sinead on the first track was a treat.

It's decent but stop with the double albums dammit.

This should have been album #1002 so I wouldn't have to hear this while I'm alive. Take the German yelling of Rammstein and add the absolute worst parts of Kraftwerk and mix someone tossing aluminum garbage cans into each other and this is what you get.

This album would've been perfect for "how do you do"

For a krautrock type album this is definitely one of the better ones - still not exactly music I want to listen to.

Enjoyable stuff

This was pretty decent background music - I like the Iggy Pop track.

Thought this was quite good - Common is definitely a rap I should look into more. He's got great delivery and it seems like his lyrics are thoughtful and good storytelling (I didn't pay as much attention as I should have). The hooks and choruses with many different guests were solid and brought a nice R&B edge to the music.

One of the only times I won't complain about a double album being on this list. An excellent one. Big fan of this album.

Once upon a time, in a bustling garden filled with vibrant vegetables, there lived a green onion named Booker T. Booker T was no ordinary green onion; he had a dream that set him apart from the rest. While other vegetables were content with their roles in soups, stews, and stir-fries, Booker T yearned for something more. He wanted to be part of the perfect tuna salad. Booker T had heard tales of the legendary tuna salad from the wise old carrot, who had once been part of a grand feast. The carrot spoke of the harmony of flavors, the balance of textures, and the sheer delight of being part of such a dish. Inspired by these stories, Booker T set out on a journey to find his place in the perfect tuna salad. His first stop was the herb garden, where he sought advice from Basil, the sage of seasonings. "Basil, how can I become part of the perfect tuna salad?" Booker T asked earnestly. Basil smiled warmly and replied, "To be part of the perfect tuna salad, you must first understand the essence of balance. The tuna salad is a symphony of flavors, and each ingredient must play its part harmoniously. You, Booker T, bring a sharp, fresh note that can elevate the entire dish." Encouraged by Basil's words, Booker T continued his journey. He met with Celery, who taught him the importance of crunch, and Pickle, who shared the secret of adding a tangy twist. Each encounter brought Booker T closer to his dream. Finally, Booker T arrived at the kitchen, where the chef was preparing for a grand feast. The chef looked at Booker T and smiled. "Ah, a green onion with a dream," the chef said. "Let's see if you have what it takes to be part of the perfect tuna salad." With great care, the chef chopped Booker T into fine pieces, mixing him with tender chunks of tuna, crisp celery, tangy pickles, and a creamy dressing. As Booker T blended with the other ingredients, he felt a sense of fulfillment. He had found his place, and together, they created a tuna salad that was nothing short of perfection. The guests at the feast marveled at the delicious tuna salad, praising its perfect balance of flavors. Booker T had achieved his dream, and in doing so, he had become part of something greater than himself. And so, Booker T, the green onion with a dream, found his place in the perfect tuna salad, bringing joy to all who tasted it. His journey was a testament to the power of dreams and the beauty of finding one's true purpose.

I never heard of "cottagecore" until I read the Wikipedia article for this album. It's nice to hear Taylor explore her folky side. The song writing seems pretty good but I personally find this fairly boring.

Fairly enjoyable!

Some bangers on this album.

Siberian Khatru is fucking goooooood. The main riff reminds me of Chrono Trigger.

This was surprisingly enjoyable. Who knew the annoying guy by the campfire could make some solid tunes.

Not bad!

Wish I had some chips for this salsa. This was pretty enjoyable.

There's some okay songs here but pretty boring and meh.

Always enjoy the Frankster

The Rolling Stones are okay. World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band? Not really.

ehhhh

I don't care for this honky tonk stuff at all.

There's parts in these songs where it's alright but I think I don't like the vocals, and overall the music isn't doing much for me.

She's quite good - this was decent!

I enjoyed the poppier sound with Cohen's voice here.

This was pretty enjoyable. Easy listening and nice. Reminded me of Coney Island too which was nice.

A classic but it's not all hits.

I do not like Tom Waits

Never heard of these guys, but this was pretty alright! The vocals took a little getting used to, but musically I thought this was solid. I really liked The Funny Bird, that was a cool track.

Enjoyed this one a lot.

I knew she had some pipes but hot damn is she fantastic. Musically I thought this was quite good too - lots of R&B and soul inspired pop music, and I enjoyed the theatrical tracks too. Tired of double albums but this was at least one of the better ones!

This is solid!

Not too bad!
