Drive Like Jehu
5/5

The Dave Brubeck Quartet
4/5
Lovely, delightful. Musicians more into the nature of music than expressing themselves.
Prince
4/5
Today I learned I like Prince a lot more than I thought.
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
4/5
No one song stuck out to me but it is impressive how fresh the whole thing sounds having been released in 1981.

Already a Steely Dan fan so this was a good time for me.
Pulp
4/5
Fun and aware.
Gorillaz

Was not what i was expecting but good.
Tom Tom Club

I listened to Kyky’s track listing instead.
Nine Inch Nails

It was good if not a little sad she couldn’t have more control
The Go-Betweens
3/5
well someone’s been listening to the smiths
Randy Newman
3/5
I started off enjoying it but eventually thought his voice sounded goofy. He seems like a nice guy though.
Janis Joplin
3/5
i grew up loving the fuck outta Mama Cass, and always felt compelled that i should love janis joplin too. I think I will always just think she seems cool, of course all tragic, but her music is just ok for me.
Miriam Makeba
5/5
Absolutely a gem. What a cool person and her music is lovely!
Pink Floyd
5/5
Pink Floyd is always going to be great.

5/5
not for me
Todd Rundgren
3/5
I debated a long time on what to give this and here i am giving it a 3
Marianne Faithfull
1/5
this has got to be one of the worst on this whole list. she sounds terrible and the songs are terrible. i think people in 1979 were just freaking out over any synth sounds which this has very little of anyways.
The Stone Roses
3/5
Really really great stuff. I want to give it a 3.5 but here we are.
Mercury Rev
3/5
I think MR has some really strong songs that i like but this album didn’t affect me too much still.
Death In Vegas
3/5
I wanted to like this more.
Bob Dylan
4/5
what a cool dude. still fresh
Fugees
4/5
I’m glad I’m doing this list. I ended up listening to the album twice in one day. Wish I could give half stars.
TV On The Radio
3/5
I think I need to listen to more albums of theirs before I form an opinion about the band. This was just ok for me. Didn’t grab me but was pleasant.
Silver Jews
5/5
new fan. dudes awesome. love the prominent lyrics.
R.E.M.
5/5
forever tickled i share my initials.
4/5
One of the sadder stories about an album I’ve heard especially so far on this list. Made worse that the album is so good. What a cool mix of sounds and what a cool guy.
Roxy Music
4/5
so close to a five but i just don’t have that five feeling. More Than This is a six song. Noticed Sparks sounds this round of listening.
John Lennon
3/5
i’ve actually enjoyed this album more in the past. felt a bit off and on. dude was definitely harboring a lot of negativity that he put into this.
Lauryn Hill
3/5
Gosh. I don’t even know what to say to sum up how I feel. I didn’t like the vignettes, but some of the songs grew on me on a second listen. I liked the hit That Thing and would give that 5 stars. Idk I like the MTV Unplugged 2.0 more actually.
Lana Del Rey
2/5
why is this on here doe.
Sade
4/5
ugh, it’s nice. there is a reason they called this easy listening. what a smooth lady.

1/5
jay z is annoying.

1/5
i don’t understand how this lady is so popular
Johnny Cash
4/5
Love Johnny Cash. He’s a cool dude and I liked his Personal Jesus a lot.
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
I really liked how the songs varied.
The xx
4/5
I think this album probably shines more considering the popular albums the time it came out.
Randy Newman
3/5
Guh, it’s really hard to judge. I like the guy ok but it’s really hard to take his voice seriously.
Kate Bush
4/5
kyle said “movements of the same song” and he’s right tho
Joy Division
4/5
I knew instantly that Kyle must enjoy them.
Stan Getz
3/5

Liz Phair
3/5

Ramblin' Jack Elliott
4/5

Hidden gem. What a story of a life and I’ll never listen to Life in A Northern Town the same.
Blur
5/5
So many solid amazing tunes on one record. Nice.

4/5
Sounds are great, some of the lyrics are truly hilarious.
The Jam
5/5
Excellent. They seem like really cool dudes
Bebel Gilberto

Hugh Masekela
3/5
Standard good jazzy music
Fever Ray
4/5
Lovely and I’m glad it exits. Articulated sounds.

The Avalanches
5/5
Wow, amazing. Ahead of its time.
Joe Ely
3/5
Ely's pure, unadorned vocals and wry, gently philosophical songs revive the Hank Williams-Lefty Frizzell honky-tonk tradition in country music without showing any traces of nostalgia or self-consciousness.
Arctic Monkeys
4/5
Great, leading to greater things.
Suicide
4/5

4/5

4/5
Its funny to review nice instrumental music.
Lightning Bolt
2/5

probably my most listened to album
Depeche Mode
4/5
Love me Depeche Mode.
Wilco
3/5
is Kamera supposed to sound like 1979…hmm. it’s nice it’s ok
Echo And The Bunnymen
5/5
Took me too long to realize Kyles played them before. The Killing Moon. Nocturnal Me - “oh take me internally”
Beatles
5/5
huurrr i wonder if abbey road is good.
Dr. Octagon
2/5
yikes. why is so much popular rap so harsh, especially towards the ladies. why the goofy skits too.
Fugazi
5/5
Dang, true to form not selling out. They should jam before they die.
David Bowie

this is dad rock now and im disappointed
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
classic. cool. fun. everyday people.
The Residents
3/5
fun. weird. sense of humor for sure. i just probably won’t be listening in my share time. i enjoyed it tho.
Tim Buckley
4/5
very wow. more wild than his son. they are both unique singers with a lot of personality, sharing good aspects but still unalike in good ways.
David Bowie
2/5
no hits. no stand outs. im sad.
Abdullah Ibrahim
4/5
this is nice jazz music. its not going to illicit a huge emotional reaction from me doe
Miles Davis
4/5
i would agree this is cool.
Crosby, Stills & Nash
5/5
hoessly hoping- one person, too alone, three together, for eachother. Judy Blue Eyes. Teach Your Children.
Alice Cooper
3/5
dudes like the ween of metal. who knew.
The Cure
4/5
I really enjoyed even if no one song stuck out on the last two listens
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
4/5
didnt care til the last song Wonderful World ‘you gotta have trust to keep the demons away’

cool dudes. first song was fantastic and a bit whatevs from there. im sure theyre saying some important shit.
PJ Harvey
1/5
extreme bleh
George Michael
4/5
man, what a cool dude. ‘freedom’ really great vibes from there.
k.d. lang
3/5
corny but i liked it more than a lot of trash out there. this would be perfect for a mixed crowd in austin tx.
Taylor Swift
1/5
next time someome mentions Taylor Swift im just gonna say ‘i dont like mumble rap’ because she barely sang on this bitch as far as i can tell. jesus fucking christ this chick is a billionaire based on what, tho? her voice sounds like a cross section of every white girl out there. She just named dropped olive garden as i write this and she is unironically the Olive Garden of the music world. There are zero bops on here. The inclusion of TS on this 1001 list brings down the validity of the whole project - isnt this supposed to be put together by a group of critics? This seems like someone was like ‘we have to include swift for some stupid reason’ and they just picked one of her albums that was least stupid. It supposed to be her 11th album but it sounds like a debut album. I hope shes happy n shit but this world is crazy man.
Moby
5/5
Wow. Dude made some hits.
Beck
3/5
omg his little noises.
Brian Eno
4/5
First few songs were promising as heck but then he had to do too many sound-scape/genre songs to follow up and brought down the party he started.
The Doors
3/5
Light My Fire is so good though. I think I’ve over-heard Alabama Song or the ending is so creepy, it just creeps me the heck out. Bleh, this is a tough call.
Cyndi Lauper
3/5
pretty of it’s time i think.
The Undertones
4/5
the lead singer Feargal Sharkey sounds so much like Brian Ferry of Roxy Music, I was tripping. I enjoyed it, although it got a wee bit repetitive. Liked “The Way Girls Talk” although I hope its satirical.
Steely Dan
5/5
They were so amazing. What fool nerds. Peg.
The Stooges
3/5
walks the line between fun and a little annoying
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
4/5
I mean, absolutely lovely. Always has been, always will be. Maybe Baby and That’ll Be The Day.
Donovan
4/5
This is my style exactly. Everyone in the store looked exactly like me. The sales person said I was the only person they had ever seen pull it off.
Fishbone
1/5
it seemed to lack an inner soul or i guess any i could grab onto to like.
Björk
4/5
she’s just amazing. her voice is so incredible.
Joni Mitchell
3/5
this one just ok. i love her early stuff tho a lot
Slipknot
2/5
Good on them for wearing masks and making it possible for dudes in the early 2000s to pretend to be in Slipknot. Better than a lot of other poops on here.
Suzanne Vega
2/5
not as catchy as i was expecting. she like the original swift.
Leonard Cohen
3/5
dude doesnt sing. talk sings but its pretty.
Crowded House
2/5
its just fine really. i dont feel anything for it but i dont hate it.
The 13th Floor Elevators
5/5
60s psychedelic garage bands will always be my shit. why are we remastering songs and labeling them with the remastering year tho, that’s so goofy.
Dolly Parton
4/5
Shes so beautiful inside and out.
Jethro Tull
3/5

Massive Attack
4/5

A Tribe Called Quest
3/5
actually pretty mellow. obviously they have a huge talent to rap, but the music itself is pretty one note, but still nice and mellow for relaxing times.
Incredible Bongo Band
3/5
Its kind of wild an album of covers is on this list. Its fine but yea not sure it should be on here.
XTC
5/5
Beautiful album. Andy Partridge is a beautiful human being. I love how Partridge creates a whole world you can live in.
Bruce Springsteen
1/5

‘92, more soul than ill ever have in one album
SAULT
3/5
The sound is very fresh, if not the lyrics a bit unpoetic, but very likely that was intentional.

4/5

The Gun Club
2/5
punk album all the songs sound the same

3/5
Sultans of Swing, 1978
Madonna
2/5

Dont Tell Me is better than Music.
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
recording was dominated by band frontman Sly Stone during a period of elevated drug use and intra-group tension…and yet still pretty good and funky.
Michael Jackson
5/5
man. its a shame. its a shame. he was the coolest and it’s impossible to fully enjoy like one used to. it will never be the same again. he was a genius and a fucked up human. the only way itd be anyway better is if all michael jackson profits went straight to those who survived through what happened.

bleh the album cover is one of the grossest that has to be out there. I still think ‘Paint It, Black’ is the only good rolling stone song but Moonlit Mile was now absolutely terrible.

Van Halen
2/5
Jump, Panama
FKA twigs
2/5

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
a persons album about their son who passed away being rated slightly worse than mid is what this website is all about <3
Johnny Cash
2/5
I just don’t feel like one needs to hear TWO live prison albums before they die. Like I agree with one. But can we get a June Carter Cash too? Probably not gonna happen. Maybe. I like his hits tho.
Van Halen
1/5
this shit kinda sucks.
5/5
The Kinks but can’t help but be excellent.
Janelle Monáe

Prince
3/5
a party that fizzes out a bit at the end.
Girls Against Boys

Herbie Hancock
3/5
herbie hancock loves to lie.
Radiohead
5/5

I get that its good but does not a lot for me.

funny i had liked one of their songs previously i can’t remember but this ain’t really doing it for me at all
Sonic Youth
3/5
no wave noise. stranger than paradise
Iggy Pop

better without the jesus song
Dolly Parton
3/5
their main message is “to be a women is to be in romantic pain”
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
I dont feel for this band the way a lot of people do, and i feel like the radio growing up abused this album. so its hard to hear with new ears, but if i had never heard of them id probably like it more im afraid.
Nirvana
4/5
still can’t believe grohl’s reputation took such a sharp turn.
The Vines
2/5
apparently i listened to the whole thing in the car and didn’t pay great attention. its ok.

3/5
vibes
Count Basie & His Orchestra
3/5
theres not much to say. its nice jazzy music. solid but i dont feel much.
The Fall
4/5
man i really like this band. they have the attitude just short of annoying and the dude has a cool voice.
Coldplay
4/5
It’s hilarious that Coldplay is such a controversial band. Its funny that people care that hard. But yea, had they kept this energy for later albums things could have been different. i feel like a lot of albums would be getting half stars if that were possible. but then thatd be a scale of 10 i guess.
Nirvana
4/5
At least Dave Grohls reputation remains untarnished to this day.
Aphex Twin
4/5
made me fall asleep while driving. thanks Aphex Twin

Nice Jazz music. One reminded me of Ella
Dr. Dre
4/5
weeeeeedeeeeeeeedeeeeeeeedeeeeedeeeeedeeeeedeeeeedeeediiiiiiiiiiiideeeeeeeeeedeeeeeeeee

4/5
Lovely.
Jane's Addiction
4/5
this has all the originality and creativity i was hoping for in skunk anansie. fresh and feeling
Foo Fighters
1/5
Foo Fighters is actually pretty lame. I think they accidentally made Everlong, like it was good by mistake, and then every other song they’ve made is dorky.
Skunk Anansie
2/5
i wanted to like it more.
TV On The Radio
2/5
radiohead on clearance.

1/5
I feel like i should like Janis Joplin more but I just cant

A little bland.
N.W.A.

1/5
yea hair metal is just rough man
Public Enemy
3/5
enjoyed it more than i thought i would.

3/5
would i have liked it better if that Smooth was the Santana Smooth. Maybe. maybe.
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
3/5
soundtrack
The Adverts
2/5
a lot of sameness for me
New York Dolls
2/5
too sloppy punk for me. I’m sure they put a lot of effort to sound that sloppy though. i like the cover.
Iggy Pop
3/5
its crazy how no matter the genre, men in the 20th century just had to sing about “little”, “tiny”, “young girls” aka teenagers. Pretty cool though. I’d care more about Iggy Pop is self-mutilation and the reminder of it didn’t give me the willies.
Black Flag
3/5
wish i liked them more because Henry Rollins is cool. But as far as hardcore punk bands go they are more tolerable.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
3/5
I actually enjoy this shit quite a bit. I’m not throwing it on for friends or anything, but maybe I should haha
Talking Heads
4/5
more masturbatory than i remember.
Sabu
2/5
Drums and voices.
Scott Walker
3/5
the first song Jackie is definitely the strongest and great sense of humor then all downhill from there
Buena Vista Social Club
3/5
another Far Cry 6 soundtrack, fun tho.
The Teardrop Explodes
5/5
When I Dream, Haha I’m Dreaming
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
definitely agree with others that the jammy parts are too jammy. I’m not a jam band person in the slightest. But besides that, it’s really funky and experimental and fun. Also just kept thinking what a shame we didnt get to see what he could have done with his 30’s and 40’s.
Kid Rock
1/5
haha bawidaba
Grant Lee Buffalo
1/5
boring for me. saw on their wiki they described themselves as “uneasy listening”. yea.

starts off strong then doesnt quite deliver.
John Martyn
4/5
this dude fucks.
Van Morrison
4/5
im still shook finding out this dude is irish.
The Style Council
3/5
I was expecting a lot more r&b/blue eyed soul based on how incredible Youre The Best Thing Is. But this was all over the place.
Napalm Death
2/5
This album will always remind me of the time the wheelchair guy was transphobic to the bigger girl getting spit roasted in the disableds.
Astrud Gilberto
3/5
lovely mostly. it’s a wild choice to have a marching band in the middle of a samba record.
Sebadoh
2/5
this feels like it was revolutionary are being half-assed or something.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
Shabby Doll was the most fun but otherwise a bit eh
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
3/5
it’s hard reacting this one. i can’t really look at it objectively.
Buzzcocks
2/5
their album a year later is 10x better than this one.
Tears For Fears
5/5
one of the best albums ever. They were completely on it making this. somehow retains its 80s sound while still sounding fresh. fun and lovable.
Happy Mondays
2/5
idk but i think this kinda sucks. dudes voice is annoying. beats are sucky. not fun just messy.
Adam & The Ants
2/5
The best parts are when they get a bit XTC. which makes sense sons they were in the same scene. just makes me think of how great XTC are though.
Simon & Garfunkel
5/5
Id give it a 6 if i could. this is top shelf. they were beautiful souls.
Willie Nelson
5/5
I’m impressed. I guess I never gave his songs a real listen. His voice has a velvet layer and a strong character on top. What a great relaxing and interesting album.
The Last Shadow Puppets
3/5
can’t tell if i like this. which makes it a 3.5 i suppose.
Stereo MC's
4/5
Fun! I like soft complicated arrangements, which is every song, so they dialed in their sound well.
Tortoise
4/5
relaxing and artful
Tina Turner
1/5
Tina Turner is the female iteration of Bruce Springsteen. Corny, tired and played out. I cant understand the appeal.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Ive heard all these songs multiple times but it’s nice to hear them in context.
Jimi Hendrix
2/5
I can say I’ve listened to a whole album of his now. Still just alright for me.
Rush
5/5
Rush is one of the all time greatest bands. I need to get a new 2112 sticker for my car.
Joni Mitchell
3/5
I like early Joni Mitchell more. reminded me of Steely Dan at times
Frank Ocean
3/5

Mariah Carey
4/5
Closing credits music
5/5
I keep coming back for albums like this. Funny how the contributors get it so right and wrong at the same time.
