A childhood favorite. Timeless as far as AOR goes. Favorite tracks: First five. Rock & Roll Band is underrated. 4/5

A childhood favorite. Timeless as far as AOR goes. Favorite tracks: First five. Rock & Roll Band is underrated. 4/5

This one was completely new. Had not heard it before today. Not as bad as I initially thought it was, but not for me. Favorite songs: Alcoholiday, Is This Music? 3-3.5/5

I love this record so much :) Favorite Tracks: ALL OF THEM! But And You And I is my absolute favorite 5/5

I do not see what other people see in The Police. This album is generally pretty okay, but certain moments (On Any Other Day and No Time This Time) are ROTTEN Favorite Tracks: Message In A Bottle, Bring On The Night 2.5-3/5

Not Coldplay's best. Favorite tracks: Clocks, The Scientist 3.5/5

Wonderful Bowie album! Great singles, and a few of the deep cuts hit hard, as well. Favorite tracks: Changes, Life on Mars, Andy Warhol, Song for Bob Dylan 4.5/5

Weird that this is on the list. Not good as far as African music goes, and not good as far as dance music goes. 2.5/5

I heard this Watts guy was pretty good with "Minutemen." This is not Minutemen. This is mildly groovy rock music. Great bass, usually good melodies and drums. Silly goofy cover art 3.5/5

Really good. Way better than I remember it being when I tried listening to it the first time. In the context of Damon's career specifically, it's definitely a high point, but more in the local maximum sense. He definitely exceeded this with Gorillaz, particularly Demon Days and Plastic Beach, but this is a fundamentally different experience. It's more grounded, more true to its origins. Blur isn't making any wide-ranging statements on the nature of artistry, they're writing songs about being middle class blokes in Britain. And their tunes are great! Favorite Tracks: Girls & Boys, Parklife, Bank Holiday, To the End 4.5/5

Axis: Bold As Love is the second of three albums that The Jimi Hendrix Experience released while Jimi was alive, and it is the worst. That does not mean it is bad! I really enjoyed this album, but the experience (heh) of listening to it is lacking compared to the other two. It lacks the tuneful singles found on Are You Experienced?, such as Hey Joe or Purple Haze, and lacks the punch of Crosstown Traffic or All Along The Watchtower, as well as the lengthy jam that is Voodoo Chile. But it doesn't falter—the songs are all good, with tight performances and great vocals from Jimi. Perhaps with time, I can come to appreciate it as much as the other two Experience records, but for now this occupies the bottom of the hierarchy. Favorite songs: Bold As Love, Spanish Castle Magic 4-4.5/5

I don't think I'm much of a Beastie Boy. Favorite Tracks: Sabotage, Get It Together, Flute Loop 4/5

Merle clears Favorite Track: Down Yonder 3.5/5

Very impressive debut from R.E.M. I might like it more than Document. Favorite Tracks: Radio Free Europe, Pilgrimage 4/5

Post-punk if instead of punk it was jazz fusion Favorite Tracks: Set The Controls..., The Vibes..., Vermillion Kisses 4/5

gonna be honest. i did not listen to the second half of this album it could be the best thing ever made and i would never know Favorite Track: Psychosocial, I guess 2-2.5/5

not bad Favorite Tracks: Paranoid Android, Electioneering 5/5

Kendrick does it again! He surely cannot top this one Favorite Tracks: The Art of Peer Pressure; m.A.A.d city; Swimming Pools (Drank); Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst 4.5-5/5

Not for me. Favorite Tracks: n/a 3/5

Really grew on me Favorite Tracks: Pink Moon, Road 4.5-5/5

Yes's kind of goofy predecessor to their two best albums. Panning in the mix is a little off-putting. Favorite Tracks: Starship Trooper 4-4.5/5

Good feminist punk! Unsure how you reckon the song "I'm With Her" with this, though. That song is dogshit. Sidenote, but a song like Hot Topic (or something like La Vie Boheme in RENT) seems like a kind of shallow way to approach the whole, you know Favorite Tracks: Deceptacon, Les and Ray 3.5/5

Pretty good Favorite Track: Fell In Love With a Girl 3.5/5

Classic! Favorite Tracks: Stairway To Heaven, When The Levee Breaks 4.5/5

zweet zertain zurprise! Favorite Tracks: Certain Surprise, Dancing, Small Hours 4/5

to be honest i'm just not sure that i can bring myself to care enough about this record because barely anything about it sticks with me. i think of myself as a huge alt-rock guy. but something about the foo just doesn't really do it for me. no offense, dave Favorite Tracks: Alone + Easy Target 3/5

Groovy Favorite Tracks: Oye Como Va, Black Magic Woman 4.5/5

Do I hate it?? no.... but I definitely don't love it Favorite Track: Lord Only Knows 3/5

maybe it's just not for me. Favorite Tracks: Sgt. Peppers..., Reprise, When I'm Sixty-Four Best Song The Beatles Ever Made: A Day In The Life 4.5-5/5

Life-changing jazz funk—Watermelon Man is the reason I played/listen to jazz, and without jazz in high school I seriously doubt I would care about music anywhere near as much as I do now Favorite Tracks: Watermelon Man, Chameleon, Sly 4.5-5/5

incredible soul record. walk on by wins the title for possibly most sampleable track ever Favorite Tracks: Walk On By, Hyperbolicsyllabicesquedalymistic 4-4.5/5

Tipper Gore reportedly created the PMRC because of this album and frankly I think it's a shame that she hates fun Favorite Tracks: When Doves Cry, Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy, I Would Die 4 U, Take Me With U 5/5

better than expected (which seems to be a pattern with 70s funk for me) Favorite Tracks: All About Love, Africano 4-4.5/5

i don't do drugs but this album makes me understand why people do Favorite Tracks: Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space, Come Together, I Think I'm in Love 4.5/5

quite good! a little british for my taste Favorite Tracks: The Village Green Preservation Society, Picture Book, Village Green 4/5

Pretty hip jazz. 3.5/5

i love when british people try to speak and they are just utterly incoherent. this is also a great punk album but i was more preoccupied with that first bit Favorite Tracks: Field Day for the Sundays, Surgeon's Girl, Mannequin 4-4.5/5

height of early naughts indie then, just a pretty good album now Favorite Tracks: Neighborhood 1-4 4-4.5/5

i miss the village green 3.5/5

nostalgic Favorite Tracks: I Feel the Earth Move, It's Too Late, Beautiful, A Natural Woman 4.5/5

well. the album tracks aren't singles for good reason. i do not want to hear about kissing the teacher Favorite Tracks: Dancing Queen, Knowing Me, Knowing You 3.5-4/5

for the most part dull and uninteresting Favorite Tracks: Just What I Needed, Bye Bye Love 2.5-3/5

to be honest i'm just not sure that i can bring myself to care enough about this record because barely anything about it sticks with me. i think of myself as a huge alt-rock guy. but something about the foo just doesn't really do it for me. no offense, dave Favorite Tracks: Alone + Easy Target 3/5

I don't need to say that this album is great. That it's influential. That it's one of Miles Davis's finest moments, an essential part of the greatest career in jazz music, and maybe all of music in general. That's taken as a given for anybody who knows anything about jazz. All I really have to add is that, while In A Silent Way's more mellow and structured tone than Bitches Brew (as well as its comparative brevity) have led many to claim its superiority, I think that Bitches Brew is a better record in almost every way, and that the moments I appreciated most on Silent Way were the moments where I could see glimpses of where Miles, John McLaughlin, Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, etc. were all going in the future. And for most, that means the moments most reminiscent of Bitches Brew. Both records are wonderful, and it's a joy to bear aural witness to some of the greatest jazz musicians of all time doing their thing in such new and interesting ways. I will probably have to say most of this again if we get to Bitches Brew, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Favorite Tracks: both of them 5/5

Best record the Beatles ever made. Best record Rock Music has ever seen. Best D-Side of any album ever. This album just might be my favorite of all time. Can't really heap enough praise onto it. And that's really all I have to say Favorite Tracks: The End, Her Majesty 5/5

Bruce Springsteen at his best, telling stories about being working class in America with a more folky instrumentation and an awfully somber mood Favorite Tracks: Atlantic City, Used Cars, Open All Night, My Father's House 4.5-5/5

father? yes son? i want to kill you! AAAAAAAAAH Favorite Tracks: 1-6 4.5-5/5

as much as i hate to admit it i am incredibly fond of british new wave/new romantic and this album is quintessential in that context Favorite Tracks: Show Me, Poison Arrow, The Look of Love 4.5/5

Best album ever?????? Favorite Tracks: all of them but especially Staralfur 5/5

I thought it was INTERESTING but Forever Changes is substantially better and also that album isn't like hard panned left Favorite Tracks: Stephanie Knows Who, Que Vida 3.5-4/5

I heard The World Is Yours on the NBA 2K 13 soundtrack and had it stuck in my head for the next decade. Also the bars are fire Favorite Tracks: Life's A Bitch, NY State Of Mind, It Ain't Hard To Tell 5/5

a few standout tracks, but mostly standard bruce thoroughfare (which is still very good!!!) Favorite Tracks: Badlands, Streets of Fire, Darkness On the Edge of Town 4/5

Very good. not sure the masses were or are ready for this though Favorite Tracks: Never Let Me Down Again, Strangelove, Little 15, Pimpf 4.5-5/5

A great punk record with catchier tunes than most pop songwriters could come up with Favorite Tracks: London Calling, Spanish Bombs, Guns of Brixton 5/5

A surprisingly catchy outing from everyone's favorite gay synthpop duo Favorite Tracks: I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing, Liberation, To Speak Is a Sin, Young Offender 4/5

This album shows Eric Clapton, racism extraordinaire, makes bunch of pretty good blues rock and then throws in a bastardization of I Shot The Sherriff. If this is the best he could do on his own, perhaps Baker and Bruce were the masterminds of Cream. This album is fine but fuck Clapton Favorite Tracks: i don't care enough to say 2-2.5/5

good not great Favorite Tracks: Janie Jones, London's Burning, Career Opportunities 4/5

she's hwite??? Favorite Tracks: Tears Dry On Their Own, Addicted, Rehab 4.5/5

It's bonkers. I think it's really good. Can certainly get easily lost on you, though. Favorite Tracks: 3 minutes into pt 1, The Talking Drum 4.5/5

my opinion of elvis costello has gotten worse since i found out he was british Favorite Track: Chelsea 3.5-4/5

shot through the heart and youre to blame you give new jersey a bad name 1.5/5

GRAAAAH I LOVE RICHARD D JAMES Favorite Tracks: Xtal, Pulsewidth, We Are the Music Makers, Ptolemy 5/5

Pretty good! not what i would consider essential. Favorite Tracks: Take Me Out, Auf Achse 3.5-4/5

Love this record tbh. big funk guy right here 4.5/5

modal jazzzzzzzzz faves: Kind Of Blue, So What, Freddie Freeloader 4.5-5/5

cannot get it out of my head that one of the b-sides for i bet that you look good on the dancefloor is called Chun Li Flying Bird Kick and is an instrumental. thats not what the move is called. also fun fact for quite a while a certain romance would play whenever i was finished listening to is this it for way too long so it was one of my top songs on last.fm for a month or so even though i never went out of my way to listen to it a single time Favorite Tracks: I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor, Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But..., A Certain Romance 4/5

best live album ever? maybe! great performances from cash, carter, perkins, and the tennessee three, some really funny interludes, and just a solid overall sound! it really sounds like he says "have to change harmonicas faster than kiss a duck" on orange blossom special and i really have never figured out what he was trying to say and it kills me Favorite Tracks: Folsom Prison Blues, Cocaine Blues, Greystone Chapel 4.5-5/5

pretty good Favorite Tracks: Let Me Ride, Nuthin But A "G" Thang, Lyrical Gangbang, Bitches Ain't Shit 4-4.5/5

Fiddler interpolation on Daydreaming is undefeated Favorite Track: Daydreaming 4.5/5

I don’t like it very much. killer queen is good 2

Zack de la Rocha !!!!! Favorite Tracks: Killing In The Name, Take The Power Back 5/5

There are kids at jazz programs throughout the nation who train for entire school years to play literally exactly like Ellington recordings. I don’t get it at all but you can figure out why they do that. This band sounds good. Faves: A Train and the Festival Suite 4/5

i miss the village green 3.5/5

This record is garbage lol

Great album good movie Favorite Tracks: Comfortably Numb, In The Flesh 4.5-5/5

Pretty good, honestly. Can't say I'm a huge fan of anything other than La Grange, but it's certainly listenable. Probably would've been fun live Favorite Track: La Grange 3/5

A childhood favorite. Timeless as far as AOR goes. Favorite tracks: First five. Rock & Roll Band is underrated. 4/5

Really high quality and a good precursor to Neil Young's best work. Overshadowed by his next three Favorite Tracks: Cinnamon Girl, Everybody Knows 4.5/5

mgmt's best Favorite Tracks: Time To Pretend, Kids, Electric Feel 4/5

GOAT!!!! FAVORITE TRACKS: ALL OF IT 5/5
