Coldplay is so boring. Don’t know how they got so popular

As a lover of music, I can appreciate it. And the vocals are really great

A 5 if you like folk music

All Ratings (668)

I love U2’s early stuff. Their debut is a desert island record for me. Great songs on this one. Some that I had been tired of due to severe overplay on MS radio but nice to listen to the whole thing with a fresh ear

Already familiar with this one and I love it. Saw them perform the full album last (?) year. Was awesome. Great rock band, great rock record.

Liked it. Was familiar with the hits. If I see the vinyl I think I’ll pick it up

Easy one. I already love Maiden and this is of course one of their best.

I like punk but don’t really care for pyschobilly. Only gave 1 listen but had trouble staying interested

Don’t like it

Tried. Just not for me

Didn’t love it didn’t hate it

Didn’t love it didn’t hate it.

Definitely a 60’s vibe. Just not big on instrumentals.

I listened with an open mind since I had never heard of this guy, but no, could not find anything to like about it. Not sure how it wound up on this list to be honest

Didn’t have to listen because I’ve heard it 1000’s of times, but did anyway because of course

Not for everyone, but to me it’s beautiful melancholy

Great album. I am very familiar with CSN but never actually listened to any of their albums. Just picked up what you hear.

Def going to listen again

Not huge on hip hop but liked it and would listen again

10/10 desert island record for me

Generic. Forgettable. Did not need to hear it before I die

The music itself is good, but lyrics are important to me and I can’t understand this one. I think it’s Portuguese?

Not really a rap guy, but Public Enemy is good. Would listen again

Heard of this band of course but never checked it out behind the couple songs from radio play. I really liked this and will listen again

An obvious 5

This was heavier than expected, I liked it Will listen again

Always liked Rush, never heard this one. Will be back

This is actually a 6 out of 5

Not really something I would listen to, but it is a good album

Classic

Was kind of meh for most of it. I think I’ll give it another listen

Just ain’t my style. Didn’t care for it at all

IMHO one of the greatest albums of all time. 6/5

Not big on electronica but I really liked this and added it to my library

Not in my regular listening but it exceeded expectations to be honest

I tried. Had to shut it off.

Quite boring. And I was sick of that 1st song within a week of its release

Biased review. Already loved it

I’m not a big hip hop or rap guy, but Cypress hill is unique if nothing else

Meh

5/5 nothin else to say

I don’t know. Tried it before and wasn’t crazy about it. Tried it again when it came up here. Still can’t get into it

Five!!!

Very different than their later stuff of course. But hard to get into

One of the first albums I owned back in the day.

Maiden = 5. One of their early albums but great

It’s Frank, just way too dated for my liking

A little unconventional but not interesting to me

I really like this album a lot. Some of the songs kind of sound alike but to me this is better than his usual sound

Well this was different. Did not care for at first. Did like the part 1 and part 2 songs. Don’t know what to make of the 2 final shorter tracks. Overall it was interesting

I do like Beach House but this album was somewhat forgettable

It was better than the usual Fatboyslim songs I’ve heard on the radio

I didn’t know what to make of this one.

Probably the best live album I’ve ever heard

Classic

I’ve tried and tried. Just can’t get into Zappas stuff. I don’t like silly lyrics

Heard of this because of Woodstock I believe. Had never heard the album, it’s good. 60s psychedelic feel. It’s interesting if nothing else

Added a star for Come on Eileen not being on this album

Obvious 5

This isn’t even rap. I don’t know what it is but I don’t like it

Darlene Love and The Ronettes?? 5

Great groove. If you’re looking to get close with your significant other, this would be a great option

Good voice. Mediocre songs

Marvin Gaye slays

80’s nostalgia

Never heard of it and didn’t know what to expect. Will listen again, it’s different

Classic

Boring but I think that was the point. Don’t feel like I NEEDED to hear it

Flashback from the 90s. Quality hip hop

Rather forgettable

Not my favorite Dylan album but still great

Not for me

Boring but not terrible I guess

The whole time I was listening, I was convinced it was Duran Duran. Weird

Once again tried to listen but just can’t get through it

Sorry but I really dislike prog rock

Lovely

Painfully boring

Just find it boring and repetitive

Interesting but not that much

Solid 80’s rock album

It’s good. But the black keys can get repetitive

Not my fave beatles album, but seems odd to give anything less than 5

Ska music that was bearable. Nice

This was a new one for me. Didn’t know what to expect but I really liked it

Favorite clash album

Don’t know why this is here honestly

This was new to me. It was stark and hectic. I liked it

It’s a unique voice and sound but the album is very repetitive

This was a great album at an important time in this world

This is probably great if you like this style. Personally I can’t get past the vocals so I’m going middle of the road. 2.5

Listened twice. Didn’t hate it but couldn’t really find anything exciting about it

Great rock record

It’s a debut album but it could be a greatest hits record. Amazing

Of course TT is a great singer, but these are just typical 80 s pop songs with a few covers

I don’t dislike Roxy Music. Certainly don’t like them as much as whoever made this list

King of pop

When you go to Sunday brunch at a hotel, this is what is on in the background

It’s different but I didn’t love it. Not bad but probably wouldn’t go back to it

Basic singer/ songwriter stuff

I love their first 3 albums. This one is good also, really some great songs here

This album came out when I was in high school and the hits were Huge. Not sure it still holds up all these years later

New to me. Was interesting at least. Will spin it again

Not really my style but I didn’t hate it. Millions upon millions can’t all be wrong

Just noise.

Exceeded expectations

Nothing to dislike here

Calexico is a vibe

Listened to this years ago but didn’t love it then. I appreciated it much more now.

Very repetitive but was a good jam for a Friday at work

That’s why I like this thing. Here’s a band I know but only heard the songs you hear on the radio. The album is great. Listened 3 times in a row

Classic album from one of the biggest hard rock groups of the 70s

A natural 5 for those of us who already like Metallica

Probably good if you like dance music. I don’t.

I’ve tried, I just don’t get jazz. Everyone knows Coltrane is highly regarded so I don’t want to rate low so going middle of the road 2.5/5

I didn’t care for this at all

As an old U2 fan, I didn’t love this album when it came out, but I typically think higher of albums as time goes on. Takes me a bit to adjust

FIVE

10 actually

1st time hearing this classic all the way through. It’s great

Great live recording

Forgot about this one fro the 90s. Some good stuff here among the filler

Basic 80s rock. I think was a precursor to the hair band era

Hey it’s legal in Massachusetts. Mission semi accomplished

Greatest “comeback” album in rock history

I love Siamese Dream. Top 10 album for me. I couldn’t wait to buy this when it was released! Anddddd never cared it for it much. I still want to punch stuff when I hear tonight tonight come on. Zero slays

Coldplay is so boring. Don’t know how they got so popular

Obviously the title track is something, but the rest is pretty mediocre

Great 70’s rock record

As a lover of music, I can appreciate it. And the vocals are really great

My favorite Dylan album

Stock morrissey

Never heard of this before. Not necessarily my style but I like it

Adele is more palatable than the average adult pop

I’m sure it’s fine. I couldn’t get through it

Have missed a lot of Radiohead. This is good

First time with the complete album. Great. His guitar sound is legendary

Probably good if you like jazz. I don’t.

First time listening to the actual album. Loved it

Never cared for husker du and this is sort of a continuation of that.

Meh

Probably great if you’re doing mambo and whatnot.

It’s not their best, but Velvet Underground is something

Basic reggae

Not for everyone I’m sure but I loved it

Too pop for me

Nice

Had high hopes based on familiarity with Games with frontiers, but found the album boring actually

Actually loved this. Very nostalgic for an 80’s child

It’s just not for me

Dance music

Nope

Honestly not sure what this was but I didn’t hate it

Not an R &B lover, so I’m going middle of the road. 3

Despite living hard rock, I have never cared for any A. Cooper songs. This album did nothing to change that

Doesn’t live up to the hype tbh

Don’t know why this album is here. Boring

Lovely

Found it boring. Read the back story after the fact.

I refuse. Don’t care how good it is or isn’t

Nah fam. Why this here

Boring overall, but not terrible

Lovely

This was a weird vibe

Better than expected

Every song is a 5

Did not like

Great singer but obviously quite dated material

Not terrible. Just boring

I have heard Killer Queen so many times that I now despise the song. Never heard the rest of the album. And it’s fantastic!

Never got the Fiona hype. Does nothing for me

This is great

Classic

Forgettable

Nothing exciting here

Just so repetitive that it bores me

Better than expected

Couldn’t wait for it to end

Exceeded expectations

I really dislike Yes. Always have. Gave it a fresh listen, nothing has changed

The album is better than the 2 singles that were released thankfully

No thanks

Janis was something else

All covers

An easy 5

Found it boring

No idea what this was but I liked it

Middle of the road DJ stuff

I can’t get into it

I remember buying this back in my youth when I was heavy into Floyd. Wasn’t what I expected of course and I hated it. Giving it a full lusten with adult ears, not much had changed

Maybe good if you’re on your way to renaissance faire?

I find it quite boring unfortunately

Didn’t know what to expect with this but I liked it. Cool vibe

At least it was short

Got boring quickly

I struggle with jazz, but this was a great performance

I can’t with this

Boring

Don’t really like Green Day but this is a good album

3 because I detest Nightswimming and Man on the moon both.

Feels very repetitive

Really is a great album

This list comes through again. This was new to me , great

Probably good if you like jazz? I really don’t so

Never liked Korn based on their radio “hits”. Listening to the whole album did nothing to change that. It’s actually worse than expected

Boring, bland, no business being on this list

Not interested

Boring

Tough to get through. And then there’s extra tracks ?! No thx

It had potential, but it’s weak

Typical 90s club music

Lovely

As a rock fan who was in high school in 1989, I’ve always had disdain for these guys. But this album is better than expected

Can’t even get through 2 tracks

Yeah. Techno

A 5 if you like folk music

No. Didn’t NEED to hear this.

Ok at the club maybe. On drugs

Don’t hate it, but can’t imagine I’ll listen to it again. Too long tbh

A weak start but It gets better as it goes

Alternative before it became a buzz word

Liked this more than expected and will spin again

Way too long but I dig it

Mind numbingly repetitive

Thought I would like it more than I did

That jumping jack flash sent me lol

Very polished pop rock

Had higher hopes for this but, it’s boring. And surprisingly repetitive

Felt like I was sitting in the doctors office

Wife used to love this guy until he went orange, so I’ve seen him live a few times and gotta admit it was a fun live show. Album is not bad if you separate him from it

Nope

Better than the other Coldplay album on here I guess. Hopefully no more

Well, I like the Dead, so this is an easy 5 for me. I do understand the 1’s it gets though. Certainly not for everyone

Ok, ready for the renn faire

You know, when this started I almost shut it off. Stuck with it, thinking it’ll probably be a one or two. Ended up really liking it and listened a few times more

Great singer don’t care for the songs

Boring AF

Interesting at least

+1 because xtina is a great singer, -1 because thus did not need to be a double album

Sounds like show tunes I don’t like show tunes

It’s not good or bad. It just is

Unremarkable

Nonsense

Brothers Gibb are amazing

Checks all the gangsta rap boxes

I love the Rolling Stones. But this was their 1st album, and it was essentially all covers. Out of place on this list

New to me and will definitely spin again

Found it very irritating

Just not my vibe at all

I can’t with repetition
