1978 "Thank You for Sending Me an Angel" (track 1) is a keeper Has "Take Me to the River" which is a classic "The Big Country" is a great change of pace and is makes me think of Neutral Milk Hotel (was probably an inspiration)

Meh. Not bad, but nothing that stood out to me. The guitar was very uninteresting and Neil Young was mostly singing loud (which I find to be whiney) rather than singing softly (like For What It's Worth or Old Man).

Good for the most part. The sound is pretty diverse, so it doesn't get boring. Sometimes it has the feel of weird to be weird, but mostly it's interesting. Essex Dogs sucks ass. I had to skip it.

Bitter Sweet Symphony is a classic, and Lucky Man is pretty great too. The rest of the album is a bit... meh. Not bad, just standard 90's pop rock sound to me. There's a little bit of synth here and there to mix things up, but nothing to adventurous.

Good vocals and good melodies. "Wild World" is always awesome.

All the classics. Great, but I can only take so much reggae.

Good Chicago Blues. Apparently this is the band that Eric Clapton and a few other big names were in before they got their breaks. Vocals aren't great, but guitars and horns are pretty nice.

Great band, great album. Good variety between tracks and changes in tempo.

1960. This woman is crazy prolific. Amazing story of being exiled from South Africa and then returning after 30 years when apartheid ended. Also, she's awesome. The song "Mbube" is definitely where they stole "Hakuna Mattata".

the song "Hotel California" is so overplayed for me it's tough not to skip it. I'll try to grit my teeth and get through it...

Cool sound. Kinda like Super Tramp but darker and more punk. Occasionally Apparently they were bigger in the UK. Definitely recognized their biggest hit, Spellbound. Good song.

This is a five star just off the track list.

I had to skip the first 5-6 tracks and then just gave up.

Her vocals are great, but the lyrics don't rhyme and she just rambles about God a lot.

Lots of hits on this one, but I just don't care for U2 that much.

Way to synth heavy for my taste. Had some good tracks, but I would never listen to the whole thing end to end again.

This was not made for me.

Corporate rock at its best. Every song is good to great.

Mostly ambient noise stuff with intentionally distant echo-y vocals. Unique, but def not something you "have to listen to before you die".

Good blues album.

I like Cyndi Lauper, but she's no Madonna. A few bangers, and the rest were okay.

Like a poor man's Bob Dylan. More spoken word poetry over a guitar than anything else.

Pretty good album. A few really good tracks, and none that are awful.

Good british pop/rock. Have a nice variation to the sound which was a little Blur at times and a little Arctic Monkeys on other tracks.

Probably the weakest Green Day album. No idea why this is here and not Dookie or Nimrod.

Really good R&B album. Even as background music, it got me moving a bunch of times.

Good jazz with Africa flavor.

Couldn't finish it. Like if McClusky decided they weren't annoying and screechy enough. And also decided that melody and rhythm wasn't important. And also that it's not music if it doesn't hurt your brain.

Very hair metal. Good bellowing on some and machine gun lyrics in others.

okay. very british.

Very good album. I'd probably give it 5 stars if I hadn't burnt myself out on the Hives years ago.

Just techno stuff. I imagine it may have been groundbreaking at the time, but nothing special to me.

Surprisingly good. I think "Bloody Well Right" was the only track I recognized, but I liked it all.

Good folk. A bit weird at times.

The "Black Album". Good metal, but Master of Puppets is better. This was the age where James Hedfield adds a "yugh!" to the end of the last word at every sentence.

Probably just on this list because it was influential.

Great album, great band. Looking for this on vinyl.

Meh. British pop rock. Didn't stand out to me.

Slow harp stuff. Not for me.

This is so far down the list of Beatles albums I would've picked. Not bad, but not Sgt. Peppers either.

Good, old-school country.

Good background synth type 80's stuff.

Fine for background music.

so sick of these ambient noise albums. Who picks these for a top album?

70's british ska with reggae influence. Sounds like they had an impact on 311 and Sublime.

Sounds like either the Who or The Beatles depending on the song.

Good early british pop/punk.

This album made me appreciate Bruce Springsteen. Especially the close with Jungleland.

Good british punk, but it gets old

This album made me like Adele. She's pretty impressive.
