Boring Adam Sandler talk-singing to acoustic guitar.
The best Beatles classics with some good tracks that I hadn't heard often/before. Basically only love songs.

Bad British 80s techno
Unexceptional grunge whining from Kurt being backpacked by Dave Grohl's intense and talented drumming.
Terrible falsetto and boring Radiohead-esque instrumentals that are much too pretentious. The hole album is dripping in pretentiousness. Rhythm and percussion was okay on some tracks, especially Through the Iron Gate. Best song was All the Kings Men because the vocals were not falsetto and it was actually somewhat enjoyable.
Boring but okay folk music.
Toe-tapping. Tutti Frutti is the toe-tappingest and an easy fav. Listening to history was an interesting experience but the music itself was pretty bland compared to other rock and blues from the time.
X.Y.U gives grungy QOTSA vibes, and great rhythm on a handful of tracks from disc 1. The remaining are forgettable, and even the singles don't deserve the acclaim they receive. Would listen again only if forced.
This was a nice reminder of the benefits of listening to music from this generator - it was something different and very enjoyable. Jazzy, big band, slow, fast, atmospheric, dark, light. Listening to this album felt like watching a movie or TV series as each song brought about a new scene, conflict, and vibe. I would listen to more Adamson.
Each track contains at most one interesting and/or unique concept (beat, sample, rhythm, etc.) and repeats it ad nauseum. The songs are too long and repetitive. Another feature on the list that makes for "decent background music" but isn't worth listening to. In this case, the artist is a professional soundtrack artist, probably adding another collection to their portfolio, but the author of this book mistook it for exceptional music on its own.
Lady Paul Newman punk rock-lite. Interesting (if nothing else) lyrics and talented backing band made this a fun listen, but couldn't help but feel that the whole thing is overrated.
I always hated Rehab, but the rest of this album is thematic and its sound is clearly defined. Listening gave me a greater appreciation for Amy Whinehouse and I would listen again.
Very 90's. Horny. Not my kind of music but definitely a kind of music.

Always hated Blondie, especially "One Way or Another", but a full listen to this album helped me really appreciate the genre-mixing that occurs seamlessly throughout this album. Rock, punk, and even disco are all represented very well on various songs throughout the album, which underscores the impressive talent of the singer and band. I don't think I associated Heart of Glass with Blondie, but its a better song than I ever gave it credit for, especially in the context of this eclectic album.
British droning and screeching
Random noises and not even music. Forced myself to listen to it and maybe got something out of it, but the commentary/messaging/experimentation that Throbbing Gristle attempts on this album is done better by numerous other artists. I will be laughing at this album in the same way that I laugh at the Human Centipede trilogy.
Danceable British pop rock that makes effective use of the Burundi beat, something I hadn't noticed was in a lot of music until listening to this album and hearing the source of its popularity. The themes of disorganization and a disregard for civil order are consistent throughout (frontier, pirates, native Americans), and the Burundi beat underlies it all, giving it an unwashed and tribal feel. I would listen to this again, or at least other similar artists, and I can keep Antmusic in my back pocket for the next time I meet an Australian.
Funky, soulful, and sexy. What else could you want?
Music for white people who enjoy the sounds of Africa. Cultural appropriation and apartheid issues aside, I enjoyed the music.
