Aside from Kim this album is fantastic. MMLP is a more Mature Em which I appreciate more at an older age. Slim Shady is still my favourite!

Supertramp

Coming in knowing nothing about this band other than the name it's mindblowing, a stadium band in the same hemisphere as Queen? Love it, will listen again when I need the feels good man!

Dream Pop is a new genre for me and I really enjoyed this album, overwhelming at times, but the closer laid me down gently.

This reeks of Germanic classical music influence. It didn't wholly appeal to me but can see how it took the world by blitzkrieg.
JAY Z
2/5
Poorly mixed music and background vocals on the first 4 tracks that get better into the middle of the album; maybe the sound they were going for with pop candy hip-hop.
Was told this album defined a generation and I grew up with Grandmaster Flash, NWA, and into gangsta rap, Dre, Snoop, Pac, Biggie, then Em, so this one just didn't take.
4/5
I only ever knew that one song; this was a revelation!
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Not their greatest, but close!
Teenage Fanclub
4/5
Some tunes made me think of The Eels, 1989 and 1991 debuts though across the pond from each other. Great bands both.
The dirt poor man's rolling stones.
Megadeth
3/5
Good sound but I feel like they have a better album in the bag.
CHIC
2/5
Le Freak we used to cover for a reason; the rest of the album dances around that great tune.
Tom Waits
1/5
Echoing the sentiments of those pointing out that a gravely voice and endless diatribes and monologues over a decent rhythm section does not a jazz album or facsimile thereof make. This is on the level of Kid Rock which is no level to speak of in decent company.

Sensational lyrics on this one! Heavy subject matter.
Malcolm McLaren
5/5
What an eclectic mix of genres; happy discovery of the sample from Em's Without Me; Buffalo Gals
Eminem
5/5
Aside from Kim this album is fantastic. MMLP is a more Mature Em which I appreciate more at an older age. Slim Shady is still my favourite!
808 State
3/5
Not a fan of electronica so this was a nice ride!
Arctic Monkeys
5/5
New favourite band, small sample size but still. They remind me of We Were Promised Jetpacks who debuted one year later in 2003.
GZA
5/5
yeah auto 5; Wu-Tang took the world by storm the aftereffects from which will live on in the ether of magnificence.
The Smiths

10cc
3/5
I haven't heard anything quite like this before!
Fatboy Slim
4/5
Justin Timberlake
2/5
Not my cup of tea, it sounds like a dirtier version of Michael Jackson with lesser beats. The kids must have loved it at the time.
Suzanne Vega
3/5
I don't think a re-listen would change my opinion; better examples of women folk singers from that era, though it's likely a matter of taste.
Tom Waits
1/5
Please dear lord, even beheaded this music is too much.
The Cramps
4/5
If life gives you brain cramps

5/5
Sublime example of a bygone age!

Sisters Of Mercy
2/5
discovered goth rock today and discovered it best left to the goth kids in South Park.
Ryan Adams
4/5
Revelation! Love this album, Ryan did Wasted Years on Californication which I knew but not of him. What a beauty, and yes, eff Morrissey.
Destiny's Child
3/5
Missed this whole craze but fun album.

Lovely punk rock album!
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4/5
Listened to this before as a dive into a previous EC album; loved it just as much 2nd go-round.
Richard Hawley
4/5
This guy I need to explore in depth; nick cave vibes, some elvis, some Leonard Cohen lyrics/mood. Wondering if this is the best, will def. listen again.
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
5/5
This reminds me of Miles' 70s period of shifting patterns and grooves developing organically. I loved it!
Pantera
4/5
First time listener; new convert lover.
The Fall

Not my cup of tea.
Justice

Coldcut

Motörhead
5/5
Lemmy winks at us from above his jack and coke! Masterpiece of the genre.

Not the greatest Eagles album; the other I rated higher I am sure.
AC/DC
5/5
Cream of the crop!
UB40
3/5
The Dictators
4/5
Good fun album and I love the old school wrestling references!

For all the hype Bobby McGee, and ...
The Byrds
2/5
Hüsker Dü
3/5
Elvis Costello
3/5
The Jesus And Mary Chain
3/5
Nice and relaxed groove.
2Pac
5/5
The Duke Ellington of Rap next to the Count Basie that is Biggie.
Spacemen 3
2/5
The wiki is paper-thin; likely why plucking individual nose hairs is more entertaining.
Metallica
5/5
Only eclipsed by Dark Side of the Moon for second longest charting; the GOAT of metal.
Black Flag
3/5
Good punk
Steve Winwood
2/5
Neither great neither offensive; wouldn't take a 2nd listen.

J'sA is such a fun band to listen to; going to dive back into this for sure.
Afrika Bambaataa
3/5
It was, I know because I was there. No longer.
Van Morrison
4/5
Sublime album, very easy on the ears. Great lyrics and lyricist!
Jeff Beck
4/5
Sensational guitar work and backing, although the Greensleeves in the middle threw me.
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
3/5
Nice old school blues album. I like the shout out to Woody, and hearing Dink's song was neat given JT covering it. Damn them bedbugs IYKYK.
Neneh Cherry
2/5
Give me the fugu fish. Nay nay I say, this is no cherry on the top.
The Last Shadow Puppets
4/5
Wow, this is a cracker of an album. I didn't know who these people were or what this music was about but I am in. Only 4 but after a 3rd and 4th listen I could elevate.
Christine and the Queens
4/5
merveilleux
Joanna Newsom
3/5
Jonie Mitchell vibes
Sarah Vaughan

Nice relaxing Jazz with such a sweet voice!

Love
3/5
Not my cup of tea.
Dizzee Rascal
3/5
It's refreshing to hear rappers from different countries!
George Jones
4/5
I love old country albums listening to the stories; great comeback album and a Tammy Wynette connection!
The Stranglers
4/5
Sade
4/5
Classic 80s bath in smooth saxophone sounds!
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Beautiful album but I had to listen to it twice. The conceptual opening threw me and I couldn't appreciate the songs as much. The second time I just got it. Love it now!
Billie Holiday
5/5
I really should have done this with brandy, or sherry. It was a cold winter night here in Canada to enjoy Lady Day. Always the best. The a cappella tracks are incredible to hear her phrasing.
The Byrds
5/5
This is an amazing album and I hear so much of this in artists coming up afterwards.
Madonna
2/5
Was never a fan 30 years ago; time has not changed that opinion.
Screaming Trees
3/5
As an album to go out on this one isn't the worst.
Joy Division
2/5
This sounds like the awful band Glen put together for the Letterkenny talent show. "I want to be close to Christ, and Wayne."
The Stooges
5/5
This is the only one I would give 6 out of 5.
Christina Aguilera
4/5
Absolutely sensational album; what a voice, dynamic range, soul.
Ray Charles
4/5
Genius understated. Separate the art from the artist.
Caetano Veloso
4/5
Missy Elliott
4/5
Revelation and my new female hip-hop artist; not one track out of place, beats by Timbaland outstanding. Missy has a great voice, fantastic timing and flow. True Diva of the genre.
Elis Regina
3/5
Talvin Singh
2/5
Progression on Ravi Shankar; enjoyable.
Ozomatli
5/5
This is the latin machine that does not stop it just keeps churning, body yearning, dance floor burning, esse vato loco let's go!
Anita Baker
2/5
OK, if I am going Divas I am going elsewhere.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
4/5
No one has time for Freebird.
Genesis
2/5
Borderline unlistenable.
Neil Young
4/5
The only reason I'm giving this four is to justify the five for Live Rust which is the penultimate Neil Young album.
Sabu
2/5
A perfectly middling example of the genre.
Traffic
4/5
This is a fantastic album top to bottom; very laid back and relaxing grooves and monsieur has a very nice signing voice.
Anthrax
3/5
Not bad at all. This was my first listen of Anthrax with a background of Slayer, Metallica, the standard stuff. Good little tunes that chug right along.
Waylon Jennings
4/5
I used to hate country music, any kind, now I love this old timey stuff!
Rod Stewart
3/5
I did not think I would like Rod as much as I did although his voice and inflections tend to be the same on each track which can grate the ears after a while.
The Libertines
3/5
Getting vibes of Marquee Moon, the Smiths, the Cure.
Paul Revere & The Raiders
5/5
They sound like the Stones, on some tracks. Who influenced whom. So many great songs on this album. Easy 5.
James Taylor
4/5
Sensational album top to bottom, soulful songs, great voice. Country Road, Oh Susannah, and the track with the full on brass section!
Barry Adamson
1/5
This was a terrible time to be able to hear.
Alexander 'Skip' Spence
1/5
Just when you think you can sing along, or tap your foot, it stutters. As a concept album this may have been fine using copious amounts of drugs, but as a piece of history it would best be dropped in an oubliette.
Sinead O'Connor
2/5
Not my cup of tea, but not quite in the harbour.
Baaba Maal
2/5
It's nice to get exposed to music from other countries. This is the 2nd album of African music. Enjoyable. Nothing to telegram home about.
Ray Price
3/5
Night life, is the life for me!
Dion
3/5
The picture does not match the music! What a good dose of soul, blues, and grit. Reminder to not judge a book by the cover.
TV On The Radio
3/5
Surprise like for me.
Michael Kiwanuka
3/5
Nice to hear some of the origin of Michael Kiwanuka - Cold Little Heart.
Bauhaus
2/5
Short and sour.
The Adverts
5/5
Their first album is gangbusters. It brought me back to the first time I heard the Ramones live at CBGBs, or the Clash storming onto the scene. Pure 70s punk. Glorious!
Pentangle
2/5
Ah yes, not the greatest example of a hippie album. Back to the late 60s with you, no time travel, stay put.
TV On The Radio
2/5
The later tracks resonated with me more than the opening ones. Decent, not enough to want to re-listen.
Violent Femmes
2/5
Darn, I thought I was going to like this more than I did having listened to select Femmes tracks in the past. This one is a pass for me outside of a few OK songs.
Van Morrison
5/5
Such a great album, what a voice on this guy! It's rare nowadays to have a full horn section and what a difference it makes for conveying energy; the trumpet player is sensational in the upper registry without losing control, and the saxophone reminds me of Maceo Parker. They are electric and Morrison's voice is equal to the task. Wonderful discovery for me.
Fishbone
2/5
Jack of all trades and master of none. Reading some comments I figure high schooler me would have enjoyed the eclectic mix and energy but I was listening to the Specials if I wanted Ska, Bob Burning Spear Raggamuffin for Reggae, funk was all Parliament, etc.
