Paul McCartney
4/5
say you want about this album being half baked but fuck you it’s Paul McCartney you dumb fuck. these songs are perfect just the way they are. they don’t need anything else. AND this is the first indie rock album…show some respect!!!!

Serge Gainsbourg

lost one star for perving on a minor, and another for being french. if you perv on minors, you deserve to suffer. if you’re french, fucking kill yourself. music was ok though.

uhm…supermassive black hole has that edgy corporate hard rock sound sorry.. the rest of the album is fine musically. soldier’s poem is great except the lyric is bad. can be said for a lot of songs. knights of cydonia was cool. a lot of these songs are just trying too hard to be deep. would be more enjoyable if i didn’t know english.

Supertramp
2/5
ugh. pretentious British drivel. bloody well right is especially annoying. idk.
Beastie Boys
3/5
i get that it’s influential and it’s a cool record but honestly it doesn’t do much for me. they did a good job and they have a genuine attitude but i just don’t care for the shoutyness. and the flows all kinda sound samey. whatever.
Wilco
4/5
pretty lengthy but there isn’t a song i’d cut. this is therapeutic easy listening alt country. easy to throw on in the back round and fall asleep too yet plenty of sustenance when you zoom in.
MGMT
4/5
very cohesive and beautiful. the singles slap and the deep cuts were good but maybe didn’t resonate as much. great album.
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
classic. what is there to say that hasn’t already been said.
Radiohead
5/5
i love this album front to back. there’s a constant ebb and flow of mellow and frantic that never gets tired of boring. a long album yes. it’s weird, eerie, and memorable. a blue print for electronic guitar rock. radiohead at their finest!!
The Clash
4/5
poignant political lyrics delivered with catchy melodies, loud ass guitars, and and fucking attitude. production is perfect. the bass is bouncy and supports the guitars while being its own voice. great classic punk record. one of the first and most important. police and thieves is pretty long and honestly could’ve done without it though.
Herbie Hancock
4/5
big brain groovy jazz jams. good for city walking and/or weed smoking. pretty iconic tbh. makes me feel 😎
Gil Scott-Heron
3/5
it’s good. a bit melodramatic but it’s pretty enough to fall asleep to.
Jimmy Smith
3/5
pretty good. standard jazz fare. nothing remarkable but pleasant nonetheless. a generic jazz record.
The War On Drugs
2/5
cool at first but gets boring. self indulgent (songs are long af) and every song pretty much sounds the same. lyrics are ok. the lead front man has that punchable pursed lip face that says, ya i’m so fucking brilliant and deep. nah not really bro. your band is mid. while it isn’t at all memorable it certainly isn't bad either; it’s something that’d be good to listen to during a fever..it’s relaxing and guiltless to fall asleep to cuz you wouldn’t be missing out on much.
Pixies
4/5
iconic 90’s weirdo rock. some truly timeless songs on this record. the lyrics seem like they don’t make sense, but they do. amazing idk what to say.
Tito Puente
4/5
pretty good! RIP Tito Puente, who died on this very day in 2000!
2/5
not terrible but not incredible. lotta neato ideas and one or two memorable songs. idk why this is in the list honestly; it’s a generic 70’s record. i mean it’s good but it’s hardly mind blowing (unless you’re stoned, which they probably were). definitely could’ve done without the 12 bar blue song whichever one that was. could’ve cut like seven of these songs. animal was memorable but so much so that i can actually sing it back as i type this out. not that cohesive as an album. good try guys.
Jerry Lee Lewis
1/5
can barely understand a fucking word he says. basically he just copied what everyone else was doing at the time and rode the coattails of his contemporaries. he’s a watered down Little Richard wannabe. like if i want to listen to generic 50’s rock i’m gonna listen to the guy that fucking invented it, Little Richard. oh and he’s a pedo. go fuck yourself Jerry Lee Lewis you’re not special you just got lucky.
Tim Buckley
3/5
kinda cool. a little self indulgent. pretty jammy/groovy. wouldn’t feel inclined to put it on again though tbh.
4/5
pretty good! v unique, moody, a bit heavy at times. coulda cut a couple songs tbh but pretty good listen.
Pink Floyd
3/5
pretty good but kinda boring as far as pink floyd albums go. i mean it has a couple of iconic songs on it but machine and cigar…eh. idk.
The United States Of America
4/5
pretty fuckin sick. crazy they lasted only a year yet put out a groundbreaking album. legendary.
Cheap Trick
3/5
classic rock
Paul McCartney
4/5
say you want about this album being half baked but fuck you it’s Paul McCartney you dumb fuck. these songs are perfect just the way they are. they don’t need anything else. AND this is the first indie rock album…show some respect!!!!
Cocteau Twins
4/5
like eating candy with a sweet beverage while you masturbate as you travel through a vortex.
Van Morrison
3/5
first gotta give hats off to the man; he’s an absolute unit. this concert expertly flows from blues to funk to sentimental sad string stuff. he’s a master of his craft. having said that it’s very classic Rockin Daddy boomer music. ok it’s dated. very of its time. his voice while powerful and dynamic is not very beautiful. it’s sort of grating at times but it is very distinct so there’s that. great production, masterful performances by all.
Queen Latifah
5/5
wow this album is a masterpiece. flows and rhymes are absolutely impeccable and the beats are so catchy and creative. love the hook on wrath of my madness especially. the voice change rap was cute haha. saxophone on ladie’s first was cool af. track for track such a great album.
Deep Purple
2/5
jesus christ this album is so masturbatory. the mule is fucking wack first of all like what. the drum solo was so long and not that great. vocals are uhm, impressive i guess but again it’s just like “ look how high i can scream!!” which is very impressive but doesn’t cover up the boring songwriting. all these songs are way too goddamn long. strange kinda woman was cool; liked the beat on that and the call and response thing was pretty sick. smoke on the water whatever. they wrote the most generic classic rock song of all time so you gotta give hats off for that. but this is just some Rockin Daddy bullshit at the end of the day so we can’t give it too much credit. is this prog? idk and idc. this shit is boring af !!!!!!
Suicide
1/5
if this came out in 2023 it’d be considered garbage and ignored. but it’s 1977 so everything slightly weird is extremely important. hypnotic, brooding minimal beats with probably off the cuff lyrics. sounds like something a couple of kids made in a garage while pulling an all nighter (realizing later that they were grown ass adults when making this) it’s the kind of thing that sounds so fuckin dumb you think you’re probably too dumb to realize that it’s actually genius. these songs are literally just half baked ideas. one drum loop with a dinky little synth riff and some shitty vocals. i will say though Frankie Teardrop….by far one of the eeriest things i have ever heard in my life. but ya if you were influenced by this good for you i guess.
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
4/5
some tracks were a bit too long but lotta great funky tunes. cool they got stevie on !
The Jam
4/5
ahhh ya classic. i like this music. good ol indie british jams. got some riffs got some bounce in the bass, and a couple hits to boot. gooooooood shit.
Beck
3/5
it’s cool but kinda boring. i like the acoustic funk numbers. go it alone sounds like a truck commercial tbh. probably wouldn’t listen again but it’s not a bad album.
Rush
5/5
so fucking iconic. one of the few good things to come out of canada. as most people know, canada is basically just america lite. it wants america’s culture so bad. everything anyone in canada does someone in the states is doing one thousand times better and is a thousand times more important. nothing about canada is significant or important. except for Rush. this album is so incredibly intricate without sacrificing memorability. one of their best for sure.
Belle & Sebastian
5/5
wow what a beautiful record. such a warm and comforting listen. classic sad lyric/happy music dichotomy. love love love She’s Losing It. the album has a cohesive feel and there’s not a song that i didn’t like. such a soothing voice and the arrangements are driving yet side soft and pretty. fantastic song writing overall.
The Offspring
4/5
epiiiiiiiiccc as hell. i like the narrator guy hehe. he friend. i think not the one is the only song i really didn’t care for but that’s about it.
fav track: what happened to you?
Ghostface Killah
5/5
top notch. cohesive record that tells a story. i loved the skits, especially heart st directions and bad mouth kid. not a bad track, features were fire, production was beautiful. rhymes and stuff all very great!!
Don McLean
2/5
honestly vincent is pretty. but i hate american pie as a song it’s just. idk. a quintessential boomer song. it’s a good album but i fucking hate the cover and the title track. i understand that it is a good song and i kinda like the story but ya. it’s kind of a boring album but i didn’t hate it entirely.
LCD Soundsystem
4/5
the vibes on this really sooth me. it’s long, hypnotic, and catchy too. loved it. will probably listen again.
David Bowie
5/5
when i first heard this album as a teenager i thought it was half baked. would’ve been perfect if it had full lyrics and a normal structure. listening to it as an adult i realize now it’s perfect. nothing over stays its welcome. i love that growling bass tone in the first track UGH so sexy. the synths are amazing. everything compliments each other. i love the sparse, cryptic lyrics. the first half of the album is very upbeat while the second half is very gloomy, yet relaxing. this album is absolutely perfect and i wouldn’t change a thing.
The Notorious B.I.G.
5/5
one of my favourite albums ever. the keyboards the bass the beats the storytelling and THAT VOICE!!! so incredibly distinct and timeless. if you don’t think this album is a masterpiece you’re fuckin dumb.
Beatles
5/5
a classic 60’s record. call it cheesy but it wasn’t at the time. these lads were the greatest to ever do it. this album contains some of their all time best songs. they’re so young and cute here but their performances are fucking superb like how can you not love them. if you’rea beatles hater fucking grow up!!!!
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
pretty good i guess. a little boring. made me kinda depressed tbh. green eyes was cringey. ya.
Grizzly Bear
3/5
not bad. musically this album is pretty good. the lyrics on their own are pretty boring. but it works with the music i guess. not the most exciting album but like it’s definitely good to nap to or something.
Frank Sinatra
4/5
the only appropriate time to listen to this album is between the hours of 3-6am with either alcohol or cannabis (or both) in your system. preferably price on a desolate road near a park with lots of trees and a stream.
anyway this album is very slow snd melancholic. which definitely isn’t a bad thing but honestly it overstays its welcome. i think ten songs would’ve been perfect….16 especially for this kind of vibe is just ridiculous. however it is incredible in every other way. the vibraphone (i think that’s what it is) the guitars, vocals, everything is lush and elegant. absolutely perfect for when you’re in a shitty mood and you can’t sleep, so you go for a stroll with a scotch and let frankie boy make sweet love to your ears.
De La Soul
2/5
pretty good. i like hip hop. but it’s one of those albums that’s way too fucking long. the skits are cute/entertaining but they don’t make any sense. can u keep a secret just seems like some inside joke conceived after smoking a joint and then just recorded as a joke. it isn’t fire or funny. everything after tread water should’ve been cut. transmitting from mars should’ve been an instrumental no one wants to hear all that french crap , please.
if this album was simply magic number, change speak, jenifa taught me, ghetto thang , eye know ,little bit of soap, and tread water this would be a strong three stars. however, they got greedy so for that they get two.
Fats Domino
4/5
a mighty fine comp from one of rock n roll’s pioneers 😎 tickle then thangs fat boii
Afrika Bambaataa
2/5
every song starts off interesting enough but gets boring pretty quickly. the raps are unbearably corny and every song overstays its welcome. i liked the beats. bass was pretty funky at times especially the last song! not overly bad but dated.
Haircut 100
4/5
such a pristine sounding record. slick juicy and polished yet organic. immaculate arrangements and musicianship. strong vocals. obviously something you’d play while hosting a yacht party. some of the songwriting didn’t quite resonate with me however; i felt like some of the songs would be a tad boring without the intricate and bouncy instrumentations. not the case for most of the songs tho, just kingsize, baked beans, and triangles. also the chikachikachika guitar gets kinda old after a while. you don’t have to play every single 16th note my man….
ABBA
3/5
dancing queen is obviously a monster hit…the rest of the album pales in comparison. some ok songs but it doesn’t even feel cohesive. there’s an even a blues number with that classic generic blues chug hahaha. wow.
Calexico
4/5
i just happened to be travelling through the desert while listening to this and it was good. wasn’t crazy about every song but a great listening experience overall and one i’ll probably return to.
Elvis Presley
3/5
50’s rock. highly influential but dated. probably mind blowing at the time. it’s pretty good, but ya. solid 3 stars.
Death In Vegas
2/5
pretty boring for the most part with some somewhat interesting passages here and thereZzz…..aisha is what knocked it down a star for me though.
Beastie Boys
2/5
the instrumental tracks were fire but this is my third beastie album from this list and i’m soooooo over it. 🙄
George Michael
5/5
uhm…..wow. a breath taking pop masterpiece. i’d hate to have been the other guy. george’s voice is pure gold. the instrumental flawless. the songs are absolute classics.
Orbital
3/5
pretty great! for the first half. kinda drags after a while. Kein Trink Wasser wasn’t very good and honestly the album should’ve ended at Philosphy by Numbers. but there was some good stuff after Kein ! great background music for sure. will probably listen again.
Beatles
5/5
such an easy five stars. i grew up on this stuff and it makes me cry just how fucking perfect it is. if you think this is anything less than a masterpiece you’re a brain dead mouth breathing inbred fool who deserves to be put down for their own good.
Grateful Dead
1/5
hippie boomer shit. the only reason anyone likes them is nostalgia and the only reason anyone liked them back then is because weed could make anything sound good. noodly aimless and god those lyrics are so bloody dated. the vocals lmao. ugh i simply hate it. :) zero stars.
Queens of the Stone Age
3/5
pretty solid rock album mostly, pretty weed friendly i’d say. cool vocals and lots of heavy riffage. it is a tad long and not every song is great. definitely should’ve cut it down. i love the lofi sound and i’ll probably spin a few tracks again!
Terence Trent D'Arby
4/5
fucking crazy vocals. arrangements are glossy and punchy. classic 80’s sound without being cheesy and dated. the song writing is very strong. the acapella number at the end was absolutely beautiful. over all an incredible record. i won’t give it five just because he’s not quite as good as stevie or prince…
Metallica
3/5
to everyone hating on this album…. calm the fuck down and grow up. yes, it’s metal for dummies. there’s no denying that. it’s perfectly palatable for the lowest common denominators of our society who think they’re hard. but come on, it’s still good?
the song are catchy, production is slick with epic heavy riffage all throughout. it’s radio metal so ya it’s not overly clever,,,,….. but it’s fine for what it is. it’s listenable.
a lot of lyrics are honestly kinda boring. and obviously it’s way too long. it definitely should’ve ended at Nothing Else Matters; the four after that were completely unnecessary.
Black Sabbath
5/5
easily …. EASILY one of the greatest compositions of all time. not only cohesive as an album, with every track being absolutely killer and complimenting the next, but being so memorable in its writing and so extremely influential. this album paved the way for so many bands. every single note is is absolutely iconic. ozzy’s distinct timbre, tony’s unique riffage, and that goddamn bass that throbs like a fat fucking cock. fucking amazing and if you rate it anything less than five you’re so fucking unbelievably dumb.
Quicksilver Messenger Service
2/5
basically butt rock of its time. hippy dippy jam shit. pretty cohesive at pretty compared to a lot of Dead stuff but still pretty boring and forgettable. Moana was probably the dumbest track for sure…..very butt rocky. can i make luurv to you once in a while 😎 gee so creative LMAO. the title track was cute.
Solomon Burke
3/5
STELLAR vocal performance. tender one moment to a heartfelt roar the next. having said that the album itself is a bit too long and some of the songs are kinda boring. it’s very much if its time. solid three gold stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Morrissey
3/5
from Morrissey’s fourth studio album we once again learn he:
1) feels sorry for himself
2) hates anyone who isn’t british
3) loves fat chicks
unfortunately, for as iconic as Morrissey is, really only in context of The Smiths does his voice ring with an indisputable magic. post The Smiths however, without the cosmic chemistry of Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce, everything Morrissey does is just derivative and makes one long for a bygone era. there’s some memorable moments, sure, but gosh can you just imagine how much better this would be if he wasn’t such an insufferable prick and didn’t destroy one of the greatest bands of all time?
anyway it’s a decent album.
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
pretty funky man! 😎🌍💨🔥
The Verve
3/5
ya know pretty cool sometimes, not bad. a bit long. did not need to be an hour. but i liked a lot of it kinda. stormy clouds was pretty cool. ocean coulda been cut. i can sort of tell just by listening to this that they must think they are a very important group. they’re British so of course they’re going to think that. they’re neat, but they’re not that important.
John Lennon
3/5
not bad…some bangers for sure but also a few duds. i suppose he did the best he could without paul to help.
Depeche Mode
4/5
instrumentation/production, top notch. lyrics, hit or miss. vocals clean. pretty great record.
The Who
2/5
some catchy songs but it didn’t leave much of an impression on me. just another british boomer rock album gifted with high praise through the lens of nostalgia.
Guns N' Roses
3/5
hmm…okay…this album would probably get 4 stars if it was like…3 songs shorter. cut It’s So Easy, Out Ta Get Me, and Think About You. pretty great as far as 80’s guitar music goes. tons if iconic Slash riffage. a little dated but there’s some monster classics here nonetheless. lot of corny ass lyrics, thanks Axl (everyone needs love, you know that it’s true) haha. ya pretty cool i guess.
Digital Underground
5/5
honestly…i saw the run time and i thought oh great…here we go……
but wow i loved every minute of this. funky ass instrumentals with some jazz sprinkled in to support a raunchy yet original concept about sex. as soon as the first track started i knew i was going to love it and i did. gotta give it a five, can’t find a flaw.
Robbie Williams
1/5
god PLEASE eeeNUFF of this mediocre british NONSENSE!!!!!!!! I’M FUCKING TIRED OF IT!!!!! I GET IT!!!!!!! YOU’RE FUCKING BRITISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET OVER IT IDC YR NOT THAT IMPORTANT!!!!!!! seriously why is this shit in the list. ?¿ is every fucking british album ever made in this list or…?
Big Black
4/5
grimy as fuck….i love it. danceable and edgy but not stupid.
3/5
uhm…supermassive black hole has that edgy corporate hard rock sound sorry.. the rest of the album is fine musically. soldier’s poem is great except the lyric is bad. can be said for a lot of songs. knights of cydonia was cool. a lot of these songs are just trying too hard to be deep. would be more enjoyable if i didn’t know english.
Johnny Cash
5/5
simple and sublime. johnny’s voice is weathered with a heavy weight, yet soothes. sheer brilliance. i love tear stained letter. shoutsout to rick rubin for producing his most iconic single too!!!
Kelela
4/5
sultry…sexy…smooth 😩😎kinda long doe
Beck
4/5
such a refreshing shift in his discography. breakups usually bring out the best in artists. the production paired with the songwriting feels like getting a blow job and then falling asleep for a good long while. however since i don’t have that kind of time i will say this album is too long. i would cut End Of The Day and It’s All In Your Mind.
David Bowie
5/5
one of the greatest albums of the 70’s…pure cutting edge rock n roll perfection front to back.
Motörhead
4/5
pretty rockin baby. dirty sexy rock n rolll hell ya let us gooooo. every member is giving their all. love the dry nuanced drums. the whiskey soaked vocals as they say. very cool. good lyrics. oh yaaa
Thelonious Monk
4/5
late night cocktail vibes…get wasted and pass out in central park. you spirit leaves your body and floats into an ethereal inaccessible to mortals.
The Who
2/5
boomer rock yayyyy. it’s okay. british people just think they’re so bloody brilliant lol. there’s some cute ideas in here but it’s definitely overrated. maybe outstanding for its time but in the grand scheme of music it’s not that great. the production is great; i love the way the guitars are blended and how they compliment the keyboard. the lyrics and vocals are okay but not spine tingling. lmao you british people think so highly of yourselves lol!!!!!!!!!! you really think you’re the fucking greatest BUT YOU’RE NOT CALM TF DOWN
Simon & Garfunkel
5/5
not a lyric is wasted. the imagery and emotion are expertly crafted with beautiful melodies that never go overstay their welcome. the longest song here is 3:09, yet these songs take you on a journey that seem to last a lifetime. wow. the peaks and valleys of this album keep it interesting too. the silent night cover with the news overlayed…that’s hilarious. such a clever album. TWELVE SONGS yet it’s only 28 minutes?! that’s how it’s done folks.
Ray Price
3/5
it’s a good country record. i don’t really understand why it’s on this list though…it cake out in ‘63 and by then classic country was long past its prime. it gets kinda boring after a few tracks. great singer though.
Arcade Fire
4/5
great album. brings back memories of smoking weed for the first time. a bit long and i don’t think it needed to be. great album with a few whatever songs.
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
some true modern classics sprinkled in here. top notch production and track cohesion. hard af yet chill. can’t find a single flaw.
Fishbone
5/5
fucking incredible album. one of the best funk rock albums i’ve ever heard. great lyrics, strong vocals, and great variation in the instrumentals. no track sounded the same. amazing.
Björk
4/5
lovely chill electronic music with beautiful vocals. sleepy beautiful but not in a bad or boring way.
Public Enemy
5/5
The National
3/5
always amazed to see this band and the war on drugs in this list. these bands don’t belong here. they’re good bands but that’s it. just good. not great, not amazing, maybe impressive in certain aspects (production, instrumental ideas, certain lyrics here and there) but after six or so songs that’s enough. this album starts off pretty good but gets pretty boring. like everything they do. “england”? jesus. british people singing about england is the most british thing ever. i genuinely hate british people. they’re like americans in that they think they are the Main World Culture. like just…get a job or something. but ya the album is fine for like six songs.
Supergrass
4/5
pretty bangin
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5
beautiful music. however. john fogerty is a phony. he wasn’t born on the bayou and didn’t go to West Virginia and he barely got through basic training before bitching out. he certainly knows how to craft a bitching tune and he CERTAINLY knows how to pander. so you gotta give him that. however his phoniness costs him a star.
fav tracks: who’ll stop the train and heard it through the grapevine
2/5
unbearable listen 🔥🔥🔥it’s cool but it’s just a bunch of covers. if you’re going to subject me to free jazz at least give me ornette coleman himself and not some dick rider i’ve never heard of.
Ali Farka Touré
4/5
perfect for the early morning before a hot day
Radiohead
5/5
easy 5
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
fucking immaculate.
Blondie
4/5
pretty great
The Associates
2/5
lot of the grooves are cool but get kinda boring after a while. a lot of the actual songwriting isn’t really that good. kind of a hard listen to be honest. disjointed. melodies are forgettable. vocals are obnoxious.
Willie Nelson
4/5
pretty solid country album. a little sleepy but very memorable.
Ramones
3/5
it’s good. classic punk. not as mind blowing in retrospect but pretty cool for its time. gets kinda samey after a while.
Van Morrison
1/5
pure torture. i hate that voice more and more every time i hear it but especially on this record because of how listless and showoffy the melodies are. van morrison is such a one trick pony. and i don’t like the one trick.
Simply Red
2/5
great vocals (for a ginger) song writing and arranging, pretty good (for a ginger)! i like the jazzy thing, it’s cute haha. solid three star album. however i have to knock off a star simply because i’m prejudice towards gingers. sorry they’re just nasty and i think they deserve to die! haha.
The Strokes
5/5
such a classic and influential album. so so so important.
Manic Street Preachers
4/5
pretty great, love that voice, lyrics are great. australia is the hi-light for me. not every song stands out but ya. reliable record.
Giant Sand
4/5
early morning rainy sleepy on the train vibes…really liked this one. unique sound. stand up bass meow meow!!
GZA
3/5
pretty good not bad
Ian Dury
4/5
bloody brilliant album. usually i LOATHE british artists that sing with an accent. but this album felt so genuinely authentic and unapologetic i simply didn’t mind. godamn raunchy funk n roll.
Black Flag
4/5
good job henry
Faust
3/5
it’s fine. cool moments. the first song is pretty vibey but i guess you have to be in a mood for it. it’s not an album that warrants a repeat listen cuz honestly they have better albums, like Just Us. this album most feels like drugs were involved or something idk.
Turbonegro
3/5
a generic rock n roll record. like there is really nothing special about this but it’s not terrible either. the road was paved long ago and these guys are simply driving down it at them exact speed limit. very forgettable. too long for how mid this is.
Bon Jovi
4/5
a couple of whatever songs but the record isn’t too long at least!! lots of all time classics to be found here. if the songwriting falters we have the performances to make up for it.
New Order
3/5
it’s not bad i guess.
Neneh Cherry
2/5
dated. corny/cheesy with some enjoyable moments here and there but five tracks in i was ready for it to be over. i like a lot of the instrumentals, but the rapping is sooooo of its time.
Brian Wilson
2/5
babe you left your legendary stamp on rock n roll no need to rehash old ideas. it’s fine Brian but really just play the hits , nobody cares about your post beach boys career. even you know it, because you rerecorded one of your biggest hits for this project. why? just hang it up man. you did your hard. legacy acts can’t create music that’s better than what they’re known for so why bother. what was that shit about the barnyard. what? heroes and villains? what about them brian ? what’s your fucking point? just looking for words to full the syllabus? jeeeesus man. shit is too long also.
Richard Hawley

The Doors

honestly kinda slaps
Korn
1/5
probably one of the douchiest albums of all time. just think, somebody out there has probably masturbated to this. just saying. let that sink in. anyway. if this was just five tracks long with no vocals i’d give it three stars. actually some of the more popular songs aren’t even bad. but it’s too fucking long and too goddamn douchey. and it’s fucking Korn. influential as it may be, i can’t give it anything more than a one. maybe i could give it a two if it was like six or ten songs shorter but ya. if you give this a five, kill yourself.
Frank Ocean
4/5
pretty good! wasn’t crazy about forest grump or sweet life. lot of filler interludes. and john mayer LMAO i’m glad they didn’t have him sing. but ya pretty good album!

The Icarus Line
2/5
sounds like they’re trying too hard to be loud and impressive while not trying hard enough to write an actual song. a couple of clever guitar moments here and there quickly spoiled the arrogant twenty something year old thinger who thinks he’s deep and special. fuck off the lot of you. this record is ass. this isn’t post hardcore it’s just noise. noise usually always sucks. truly a forgettable undancable record made by some shitty local band.
Talking Heads

pretty iconic but some of the songs are a tad too long

i hate this band but this album isn’t bad
Scissor Sisters
2/5
uhm…ugh. what? i liked Mary as a teenager. that’s the only song on the record i can stand. each track presents a weird vibe that gets old very fast. this record is very annoying. there’s only so much arrangement and production can do when your songwriting is ass. tits on the radio? the fuck? this feels like a highschool songwriting exercise.
Beth Orton

it’s ok but it gets pretty boring after five or so songs. did noooot need to be an hour long.

Serge Gainsbourg
1/5
lost one star for perving on a minor, and another for being french. if you perv on minors, you deserve to suffer. if you’re french, fucking kill yourself. music was ok though.
Elvis Presley

Elliott Smith
5/5
absolute perfection. an album you genuinely need to hear before you die. the lyrics, vocals, guitars, all of it crafted with such care. such an incredible, beautiful, spine tingling album.
Steely Dan
4/5
pretty slick
Koffi Olomide
2/5
musically, great album. musicianship is pristine and the songwriting is good probably and it’s a danceable record. the songs are obviously too long and repetitive but that’s the nature of the genre so i can’t fault it there. usually i dock points for perving on minors on record but i don’t know if he is here or not so i wont. perving on minors is obviously bad but if it has no affect on the music then i don’t take it into the rating. however, he is singing in french which does affect the music, so i have to dock a star for that. because he’s french and also a pedo, he should kill himself.
Heaven 17
3/5
it is fine
Sonic Youth
1/5
couple of cool riff ideas here and there but it gets kinda boring. songwriting is like, idk. ok i guess? at times. overrated as fuck band. also thurston moore disrespected Nardwuar on camera so he can go kill himself for all i care.
B.B. King
4/5
such a stellar performance!
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
the single does a lot of heavy lifting here, idk some of the songs didn’t do it for me. maybe i just need another listen.
MC Solaar
4/5
i usually knock a star for being french (i am prejudice towards french) but this was actually pretty sweet. a tad long but there wasn’t really any bad tracks. good mix of funk and jazz flavoured beats to support the frenchy flows.
Talking Heads
4/5
yup!
White Denim
2/5
songwriting didn’t stick out. production was glossy but it was also kind of over stimulating. this carried the illusion of being good but i don’t think it really was.
Nina Simone

holy fuck british you’re fucking british you’re so bloody fucking important shut the fuck up not everything you do is iconic. god fucking fucking fuck. enough with the stupid accent!!!! 33 songs are you serious? i skipped them all after the first chorus. rubbish.
The Cure
4/5
sublime…this album was the soundtrack to losing a glove and the journey it toom to try to find it. i didn’t find it but i did end up finding a new pair of even better gloves. this album is kinda like that. fantastic instrumentation, lyrics, overall vibe is soothing for a sad boy. too long of course but it might he justified. there’s only like one or two true bangers here but not a bad song.
Oasis
4/5
can’t crank it as loud as i’d like cause the mix is harsh. it’s also somehow muddy at the same time. truly awful. catchy as fucking songs but they do tend to overstay their welcome. the songs are very simple but simple songs get boring after three minutes. usually i absolutely fucking hate most british people but these lads are absolute 90’s icons. one of the few britpop artists i actually won’t shit on. this album isn’t perfect but it fucking rules.
Beatles
5/5
incredible. such a chaotic tracklisting that males absolutely no sense yet it all works. the arrangements and production techniques are so cutting edge for this time. not a bad song on here. a perfect album in every way.

4/5
penetration and need somebody are so cool. love this album. Bowie’s mix is fucking dog shit lmao; can barely hear the drums. Iggy’s mix is good but the guitar solos are a bit harsh sounding. i was prepared to give this five stars but honestly the last couple songs didn’t do much for me. still a killer album, and only eight songs! my favourite number of tracks for an album to have.
Stevie Wonder
5/5
long as fuck but for a good reason. stevie had a lot to say and he did it with a refined artisty that few artists have had the privilege to achieve in their youth. this album is an all time treasure.

Adele
3/5
there are some undeniable 2010’s classics on here. vocally she’s been very influential as well. which is annoying. the belting stops being impressive pretty quick. hearing watered down versions of her in my local circuit makes me wish she never existed at all.

Bruce Springsteen

the only thing holding this album back is some of the arrangements…holding the piano and sax should’ve taken a back seat. especially on the title track. i’d rather hear bruce’s angry guitar.
The Specials

that first track was a hot mess but the rest was fun to listen to. probably won’t listen again tho. not bad!

Paul Simon
5/5
brilliant. run that body is the self care anthem. the arrangement is like a raspberry yogurt muffin with a bit of vanilla icing on top. the album is an early morning cafe thick with the mist of rich dark coffee.
Bob Dylan
5/5
the man has bars
Led Zeppelin
3/5
ya it’s good. the lyrics are what you would hear in any blues song. they work for the music i guess but they don’t do much for me. ofc you listen to this album for the shredding arrangements. it’s classic rock. but it doesn’t do a lot for me.
Missy Elliott
3/5
meh idc
Michael Jackson

i would give it five except…the handclaps. in only the good die young. handclaps always deduct a star. sorry Billy, you should’ve known better. other than that, this album is sublime! a proper album with proper songs.

this is the kind of album you put on when you have a fever and you just need something decent enough to soothe you but underwhelming enough to not make you dizzy. it drags. but it’s not terrible.

if i saw this band live i would be standing right in front politely nod my head, with one hand in pocket and the other nursing a beer. halfway through the first song i would go outside to smoke a joint. then i’d come back in and nurse my shitty beer while either reading a book or just staring off into space. the last song was obviously a last minute addition in order to fill out the album.
one guy:
“guys, we need one more song!!😰”
some other guy:
*puffs joint* “ah haha lads what if we did like, a shitty 12 bar blues? just for the hell of it? haha we’re so awesome so even a shitty song by us would be amazing. fuck it it’ll take us like half an hour and then the records done. it’ll be fucking sick. *puffs joint*
Steely Dan

a perfect album. every element of this album was made with astute craftsmanship. no crinkle left unironed. thr lyrics, melody, arrangements, the PRODUCTION!!!! NOT A SINGLE SOLITARY FLAW!!!!
