Feel good music!

Interesting adaptations

Energetic rock n roll

Beautiful songs

New artist to me, but the Beatles already did the same thing but better

B-side was surprisingly heavy

One of my favourite indie albums

Simple but beautiful

Not sure what this album is doing on this list

Versatile album, but none of the songs really stick

Rock classics all the way through

Sounds like a Bond soundtrack, works as a background music

For me hardcore punk just always sounds similar

Solid rap album

Not very memorable

Deep Purple at their prime, but some of the songs are way too long with all the solos

Not too exciting music

Reminds of 60s Stones

Solid pop album

Great album with very distinctive sounds

Not Bowie’s greatest works in my opinion

I haven’t listened much Talking Heads earlier, but this is definitely a great album based one listen

Interesting and funny music!

Haven’t listened much of Tom Waits before and most likely won’t listen after this album either

Some true classics on this album, but also some lesser songs

Great indie rock album

A bit too minimalistic and ethereal for my taste

I like 90s Björk, but this is simply not good

Very emotional album, requires the right state of mind also for the listener

Quite boring album

Not the best of Radiohead

So weird that it’s actually quite good

Very raw sound, I can see why this is so influencing album

Solid rap album, especially the use of soul samples is cool

I have never really listened to Janet Jackson, but this was a surprisingly good pop album. I will definitely listen more of her in the future.

Love atmosphere on this album

Not love at first listen

Beatles album cannot be less than 4 stars, but this album is far from their greatests works

Sounds understandably a lot like Gorillaz, but not quite as good

I really liked this album, but for me the level of 5 star Miles Davis album is Kind of Blue

Mellow and slightly boring album

Progressive soul as a genre was new to me, but it really caught my interest

Beautiful singing that takes you back to 50s

I was surprised to read that this is such highly rated album. Much better stuff was made in the 60s.

Chaotic music

Classic Prince

Good blues album

Decent country songs, but probably not gonna listen again

Classic album

Clapton’s solo albums have always been slightly boring. So is this, but there are also good songs.

Great album, I like Edge’s raw guitar sound here

Perhaps the best early Stones album, but nowhere near the golden age 68-74

Little Simz is probably my favourite female rapper out there

Such an interesting mix of different genres! Definitely going to return to this one.

First song is good, others insignificant

Alternative rock classic

Classic

Feel good music

A generic rock album in my opinion. Nothing too exciting.

Many good pop songs, but also some misses

Versatile samples and nice vibe

I know it’s The Beatles, but their early albums just never have been so interesting to me

Amazing what can be done with just one guitar and drums

Not memorable at all

Many classics here

Funky and groovy and song titles say

Would probably need more than one listening to understand this album

Loved this album. Shame it’s not on Spotify

Mostly covers, but a solid debut album

Not near as good as Elephant, but a few highlights

Heavy metal classic

Not very memorable, works as a background music

Some good songs, but slightly boring

Never really cared for the Cure

So many classic pop songs, that deserves 5 stars

I was surprised to read how big this album was in 1973, as this was the first time I heard about War. Solid album anyhow.

Slightly boring soft rock album to be honest

Old school acid house, Pacific 202 is a clear highlight

A new grunge band to me. Good energy!

Classic Elton, several legendary songs!

An okay alternative rock album

To me old school reggae often sounds quite similar, but this one doesn’t disappoint

This kind of soft pop is not really my cup of tea

Solid collection of Sinatra jazz standards

Best Muse album for sure

Sounds like a soundtrack for a western movie. Somehow I like these songs.

Aggressive as hell and still sounds fresh

Solid live album

Too much phaser, but album has a few decent songs

Classic stoner sound

Many folk rock classics on this album, although never been the biggest fan of Simon and Garfunkel

Great singer, many of the songs are not that great though

Fusion jazz classic, Birdland is a banger instrumental any day

I prefer the earlier more cheerful britpop albums, but this one has Song 2 and Beetlebum of course

80s pop classic, but not everything has aged so well

Proper old school rap

One of my favourite debut albums

Quite boring and not very memorable

I’m not so familiar with tango but this rocks!

00s indie rock classic with at least a couple of bangers

Fun to listen

Interesting music, quite unique sound

Didn’t expect this kind album here, but I definitely like it

Banger metal album! It’s clear from where Metallica got influence for their debut album.

Timeless piece of music, great guitar and percussion work

Rock and roll classic, but many of the songs aren’t that great

Not an easy album but mesmerising after a few listens

2000s rock classic, Sex on Fire though has been played way too much these past 15 years

Versatile and interesting songs

Beautiful songs throughout the album

Good album, especially the first track is a banger

First time listening to Patti Smith and I wasn’t disappointed, but don’t necessarily listen much of her in the future either

Very retro sounding album for 1999. Atmosphere throughout the album is really unique.

Typical mid-60s rock album

Legendary 90s album!

Even though some songs are a bit too long jams, this album as a whole is great

Not as great as the following albums, but still a great album

A bit lukewarm album

At least one legendary song on this album

I can see how influential this album was to the metal bands that followed, although on today’s standards this isn’t anything unusual

Artsy album with wide variety of styles

Quite basic hip hop album

Nice old school rap

Not for me

As good as Christmas songs get

Quite generic rock

Uninteresting music

Classic jazz album

Trash metal classic! Complex compositions compared to other Metallica albums.

Simple blues, but a lot of feeling at the same time

Elton has better albums than this, but Tiny Dancer is definitely a classic

Decent folk album

This album really takes you elsewhere, enjoyable to listen

This shit is too experimental for me

Includes several 80s pop classics

Definition of punk, but not sure if I’m a huge fan still

Dark and emotional album

I finished the album but I can’t really remember what I heard

Several classics that put a smile on my face

Reminds me of The Clash, but unfortunately not as good

Classic Bob Marley!

Not really my kind of music, but I can understand why someone likes stuff like this

One of the best works of the Boss

An okay rock album, but not sure why it’s on this list

Typical 60s rock

I think I’ve never properly listened to this album and lyrics are truly thought provoking and amusing at times

One of my favourite 90s rock albums

Collection of good pop songs. Worth a second listen

Not their best album, but very nice alternative rock album

Occasionally weird, occasionally brilliant

One of my all time favourite albums, not a single bad song on this one

Not a big country guy, but this album was worth listening

Classic blues record, but not sure why exactly this album is on this list

Legendary album and even after 27 (!) years this sounds fresh and modern

First time I didn’t get too excited, but on the second listening I started liking the album

Powerful voice and also a great sounding album overall

First time I listened a full album of “new” Springsteen, and I was not disappointed, but also some of his older albums are clearly superior

To be honest, I haven’t listened Van Morrison much before and probably won’t after this either. Good live playing, but songs weren’t that great

These early hip hop albums simply have some edge that doesn’t exist in modern rap

This is probably my all time favourite album, so it’s hard to be objective, but this is The Rolling Stones at their peak. Mick Taylor delivers his best performance as a stone and the songs are really versatile going smoothly from genre to genre. Easy 5 stars!

A decent album, but probably requires more than two listens to really love it

I’ve always liked the simple and raw sound of The Libertines and this is their best album in my opinion

Decent album, but nothing too remarkable

Ugly album cover, but good sounding punk

It depends on the day which one of the last 6 studio albums is my all time favourite Beatles album. Very often it’s this!

Not as good as Discovery but still a classic house album

Classic CCR

Typical 60s album, but nothing too remarkable

Proper bedroom music, not as good album What’s Going On

I should probably listen this more times to really get into it

Not my favourite Zeppelin album, but still an easy five stars

Sinead O’Connor seemed quite annoying based on the media coverage, but an okay album anyway

Talented singer and groovy songs even though I hadn’t heard of her before

Psychedelic rock classic and probably Eric Clapton’s single greatest album

Should probably listen The Police more often, good album and several great songs

I’m not a big hair metal guy, but somehow this energy and these classics put a smile on my face

Really basic compared to their later albums. Title songs of course is a classic in itself.

I knew some of the songs but never listened the full album. Nice jazzy vibes.

Mostly boring album, not sure why it’s on this list

After Back In Black definitely the greatest AC/DC album

I had only heard Hallelujah cover from Jeff Buckley before, so I was positively surprised how “rock” his only album is. Although not that different from many other 90s stuff.

A typical 90s rap album, but nothing too memorable

Solid blues album from such an old man

Sounds like a musical. Hard to justify this album among some of these absolute classics.

Despite the length, a great hip hop record

First rap album I ever purchased and a genre classic

Nothing wrong with this album, but probably not going to return to this

I would like to love Sly, but for whatever reason I wasn’t too excited of this

One of the first albums that got me into fusion jazz in high school

Such smooth music and includes one clear classic

Different at least, but also super random on this list

Quite okay, but there’s also much better stuff that came out of 70s

I have mixed feelings about MJ as a person, but music is great

Folk and jazz combo works nicely

I like this maybe even more than their more famous records

Title track is my favourite Prince song, but there also some filler tracks. Overall this has lasted time well

I really like this album, such well produced songs throughout

Now I understand why this is so highly regarded live album. I hadn’t heard such a hard rock The Who earlier.

So never liked Rush, singing sounds like screaming

Sounds like very generic pop album for me

Proper 80s sound and good songs as well

Not the most exciting album to listen, but I really like the electro pop sound here

10 years ago I would’ve given 5 stars, but Guns N’ Roses’ importance to me has declined over the recent years, but still a collection of some of the greatest 80s rock songs

Some good songs but also several boring ones

The best studio album from The Who

Chill music, but lacks some edge to hook me to listen this again

Not as good as Aja that came here some weeks ago

Not a consistent album throughout

Classic hard rock album and definitely the best one of Deep Purple

Probably need to listen this more to really like it

Really ethereal and mesmerising music

Sounds more modern than 1969

Britpop at its finest

An album to be listened from beginning to end at once, but also would require more repeats for more stars

Good songs, although not very unique

I think this was quite boring album

Classic

80s post-punk just sounds a bit outdated today

Nice and retro but not really something I’d listen to

Cool organ sounds, but not very memorable songs

Really relaxing music and interesting Indian vibes

00s indie rock classic

Rock operas usually need several listens, and so does this most likely

I like the addition of African music into Paul Simon, only knew the lead single earlier

Took me back to 60s and 70s music

Few classics but also some filler tracks

Brought me to good mood in the middle of a stressful workday

Rap classic

A classic rock opera and an album that needs to be listened from start to finish every time

Why are there so many albums from The Kinks. Somehow these haven’t lasted time well.

I get how influential album this is, but I would never really listen to this voluntarily

I don’t love Bob Dylan, but this is one of his best works

Sounds a bit like Radiohead

Quite a rough and garage sound, probably not going to listen again

Not the best album from the Smiths

I really like the classic rock samples

I understand that this was ground breaking at the time, but by today’s standards it’s a bit messy

Quite typical 60s psychedelic rock album, not too memorable but not bad either

Smooth and classic rap sound

Sounds like movie music

Really uninteresting and generic music

Sounds outdated in today’s standards, but classic album for someone raised in 00s

Many rap classics!
