Not bad, but not my vibe. There's better S&G albums imo. Maybe if I gave it a few more listens it'd've stuck, but yeah... Just felt whatever on it.
Haven't listened to it in years, so it was kinda fun going back to it. Each track felt a bit too similar, but overall the album is solid.
This was a fun one. I've heard most of these songs before, but never together in the context of the full album. Loved it.
Always love hearing my hometown getting bashed in a Johnny Cash song.
In the context of albums to listen to before you die, this one just doesn't hold up at being significant enough to count. Decent generic 90s rock otherwise.
Yes, this is 100% an album you must listen to before you die. Love Daft Punk, so this one is always a treat.
Full of random songs I've heard before, but never listened to the album. Turns out it's amazing & there's a reason it's always being brought up & mentioned. Albums like this is what's making me really enjoy this challenge.
Not a bad album really. I just was super into the last album I got on here & this one was a bit of a tone shift from the last. Wasn't in the mood, but I get why it made the list. Could easily be a 4/5 on a different day.
Easily one of the best albums of all time.
Would've been a 5 till it got to 10 minutes of him talking lol
Great album, just the long extended story at the start of the last track throws the whole thing off.
Pretty fun surprise, didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as I did.
Dang, this whole album just makes me think of her.
Didn't really care for it. Like a few Pixies tracks, but wasn't really feeling it as an album.
Not a bad album actually. But bad timing for nothing but love songs lol
A few classics surrounded by OK filler
Cool album, really dig the psychedelic sound, but I'm not on nearly enough acid to fully enjoy it.
Massive Attack is great, haven't listened to this one in forever.
I've heard all of these songs probably hundreds of times, but never in this order.
Aw hell yeah! Got back into this album recently after seeing Beck live. Solid fun album.
Pretty cheesy album, but after another listen through, it does have some pretty good messages in it.
I was actually in the mood for reggae, but this album just kinda fell flat to me.
Probably my favorite soad album
The best Beatle put out a solo album. Not surprised by the results.
Although I don't understand everything they are saying, the vocals still speak to my soul. Damn this was good.
Music for sad dads, of which I am neither. 3 for now, but I feel like that could go up after multiple listens.
Eh it was OK. Had a few good stand-out tracks.
Felt like I've been put on hold for an hour.
Had some moments, but just couldn't hold on to them.
Enjoyed it, kinda reminded me of something else... Just can't recall...
Easily one of the greatest albums of all time.
Left feeling empowered. Bitches better stay away from my man. Jokes aside, fun album.
Fun fun fun on the autobahn.
Not exactly what I was expecting, but Schools Out is still the best track on the album. Seems kinda soft, mello, & easy going for a shock rock musician. Grande Finale is good too..
Easily one of the best albums of all time.
Dreaming of Stevie Wonder now too
King of Pop with some killer tracks.
This shit slaps. Much better than the other Yeah Yeah Yeahs album I got. I'm sure if I kept listening to it, it'd get a 5. Either way, it's getting saved for future listens.
Oh snap, an all time favorite!
Got better with multiple listens, but still mostly prefer the singles I'd already heard.
Relaxing, mellow, chill vibes for my work day. Might have been a 4 if you take out Parade (A Banda). Kinda ruins the flow each time it came on.
Pretty rad stuff. Get it on!
Nice, but not really my thing. Maybe on a different day I'd rate higher...
Classic 60s hit. Good stuff.
Low 3. Kinda liked bits of it, but always felt lacking. No stand out tracks imo
Great, influential album from an underrated band.
Fun, easy-going, old-school, punk sound without any songs I actually enjoyed.
Oh it's The Exorcists theme... Oh it's actually pretty tight! 1st bit is obviously familiar, then goes off to become much more than just the spooky theme we all know.
Really only 3-4 good songs on this one & it's the main songs you've heard.
Had a few solid moments, just had trouble really getting into the album as a whole.
Smooth & mellow & kinda sat in the background like elevator music.
This was a nice album to revisit. Nice collection of songs with a few fun psychedelic freak out moments.
Jail Break & Boys are Back in Town are bangers.
1st track: I hate it.
2nd: omg make it stop.
3rd: OK this is a jam.
Rest of album: back to being awful.
Sorry, the 1 track doesn't save you from 1 star.
Great album with a unique sound. Definitely saving this one for later
Jibbity boo bop. Skibbity itty itty. Antony Keidis just throws out nonsensical lyrics. Funk & fun, but also catchy. Got some killer tracks & got some filla. Boobity boo bah, rigga rigga rilla!
Always liked their radio hits. Turns out everything else is just as good.
Rockin album, not bad at all
A few things I recognized that I never realized was Wings. Great album overall, which is completely expected from Paul.
Mellow, calming, chill. Ella Fitzgerald has an amazing voice & the big band instrumentation is nice.
I love everything from this band. This album in particular is a straight up masterpiece.
Great discovery, really enjoyed this one. Each song is solid, diverse, & stands on its own.
Surprisingly fast album. Really only cared for Shining Star. Everything else felt like cheesy 70s sitcom music.
Has a few nice musical moments, but I absolutely hate the singers voice.
I hate it.
Somehow made it through the whole album... It's pure garbage.
Beastie Boys showing off how diverse of a musical space they can occupy. & it all works. Solid album start to finish.
Biased since I don't normally like nor listen to country, but Willie makes it bearable. He's a living legend for a reason. These tracks are nice, mellow, & easy to listen to.
Epic & huge. Metallic at their best, in one of the greatest live albums.
Started off with some bangers, but grew disinterested as the album went on.
Hyped to get Liars! Bummed that this is their only album on this list. Either way, super fun, weird, creative, experimental album. Love their work!
A nice surprise, great song writing, & an enjoyable listen.
Bunch of hits that still flow together to make a great album.
Really enjoyed the last Willie album I got, but I'm honestly not feeling a cover album.
Dang, I was expecting to hate this. All killer!
The only Band that can live up to the name 'THE BAND.'
One of the most influential indie rock albums of all time.
Coldplay was knocking out indie bangers before selling out for pop success.
Fun album to get for this, but only really enjoyed a few of the tracks. Personally feeling pretty meh over it.
An explosion of blues-like sounds, only hints of it sounded good. Within the realm of stuff I like, weird, funky, out-there, & creative. Just none of it really came together to make it a listen I'd actually enjoy. 32 tracks... This was a rough listen. Would have rated it much higher if it was trimmed down to a few main tracks, & fleshed out a bit more. The slog had me slowly hating it more & more.
Not bad, really good mixing, & made for an enjoyable few listens.
Classic. Dug her song's I recognized more.
More than just the Shrek song.
Bland. I guess I'm not a fan of Wilco... 2nd album I've gotten with them & just not feeling it.
Amazing album from an amazing artist.
Classic late 60s psych rock. The highs were high, but the lows had me waiting for the next track.
Southern rock at its greatest. All killer, no filler. Every song is a hit for a reason.
Love how his inspirations for this album are some of my all time favorites. What an amazing album to go out on. RIP to such an influential artist.
Not bad, but a lot of the instruments used are painfully 80s in sound. Makes the album feel extremely dated.
Made for a nice relaxing listen. Solid mix African & Blues styles.
Remembered enjoying the Rock and Roll Circus back in the day, but never listened to any Stones since. Wasn't really feeling this album. It's not technically bad, just didn't resonate with me. Has a few nice moments though.
Amazing album. Excited to see it come up on this list, I've been needing a re-listen.
I hate Ska.
Even the non-Ska songs just annoyed the hell out of me.
Nice solid hip-hop album. Solid bars, nice flows, & chill beats to do work to.
Had a buddy learning bass guitar ruin Blister in the Sun for me. The rest of the album isn't too bad, just nothing much that stands out imo.
Practically a Wu Tang album. & Wu Tang is forever.
Hadn't listened to this one in a while, but a bit more of a fan of their other work.
Fun surprise of an album. Constantly different, with some mellow grooves.
I either absolutely love the song, or just kinda felt whatever. Not a Country fan, but she's got some amazing songs.
Great album with a few covers, making them better than the originals.
It's the Beatles.
Funny, my previous album had Cash's cover of In My Life on it.
Not really bad, just wasn't personally feeling it. If you're a fan of Latin music, I'm sure it's great.
Ugh. Just gave me flashbacks to working retail, stuck listening to top 40, & not able to change the station.
King of Pop has a few absolute bangers on this one, but also a few tracks that aren't really too great. Ends up being pretty in the middle of the road overall.
Most overrated band of all time. Kiss is like a parody of a hard rock band, but not being hard, rock, or good, but still serious...
High-school me probably would've loved this the when it came out.
Pretty good album with some great sample based production.
Mellow, chill, got a few nice grooves & tunes. Felt like inoffensive background music.
Amazing song writer, with a pretty annoying singing voice. The weird thing is that his voice grows on you as the album goes on.
Just feels kinda cheesy 80s music with groan-worthy edgy lyrics. Morrissey is a dick & all, but separating the artist from the art, his vocals still suck. A few decent melodies can't save this.
Amazing singing voice, but the album starts to sound too samey.
Least favorite album from one of my favorite bands. Haven't listened to it in years & it's much better than I originally remembered. Aged pretty well imo
Uniquely different, creative, & definitely not my thing.
Started to kinda like it, then started to not like it. Their sound starts to get old after a bit.
It's OK, not a huge fan of the New Wave sounding vocals. But The Killing Moon is a classic, so that was nice to hear.
This is a complete slog to get through. It's got some really good jazz, but an hour & a half more than I care to listen, plus you've got to put up with him talking inbetween every song... Ugh, I'm sure it was an amazing live show to be at, but as a live album, it just became a tough listen.
This daily challenge has made me a David Bowie fan, but this one doesn't feel like it's as much of a standout as his other albums. Gets better on re-listen, still good, but if I hadn't've already enjoyed his other stuff, I probably would've rated this a little lower.
Pretty damn good. Some songs kinda lag on, but there's a few bangers on here. Great voice, great song writing.
Not my go to MBV album, only really listened to it once before, but really enjoyed it this time around. 1st few songs start off slow, but I get completely lost in the dreamy thick distorted soundscapes as the album continues.
Absolutely hated this album when it 1st came out. Still super tired of hearing the main singles from it, but really the rest of the album is pretty great. The rock opera really works out in it's favor.
Fun & funky, with a few classics. Good, just not something I could listen to often.
One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.
This album is ridiculously ahead of its time. Completely timeless. An absolute masterpiece.
I enjoyed it for the most part. But I probably won't be coming back to it in the future.
I think it was OK... I'm sure if I gave it another listen I might've gotten into it more & rated it higher.
Dang, all of these are bops. Super solid 90s rock.
Sounds like generic 90s pop rock, so definitely ahead of its time for coming out in the late 70s.
C'mon, man. I had a rough night & I fuckin' hate the Eagles, man!
Pretty good, full of bops.
This album is practically the soundtrack to a specific part of my life. It's a bit of a bummer the band thought of it as their sellout album. Absolutely love it, even the more out there tracks.
Rough, raw, & emotional, but loses me feeling too trapped in the 90s. Has a few nice moments, but none of the tracks really hook me.
Rad & rockin. The track Number of the Beast is still the main stand out to me tho.
I feel like I've grown out of this type of punk.
I feel like Aerosmith went from overrated to underrated. This album wasn't bad, had a few rockin hits, just feel like we all got tired of them in the early 2000s.
Overall not bad, just funky. Happy Man was a jam. This band had waaay more hits than I remembered.
Got a good sound, just felt kinda meh. Lovefool still slaps tho.
Has a few less played bangers. All Along the Watchtower being his only hit is still pretty wild to think about.
Mellow & relaxing with a good flow. Hard to give this one a low rating. Mostly was aware of the Girl from Ipanema, but the rest of the album keeps those relaxing vibes flowing.
Nice hearing something from him other than Brown Eyed Girl. Pretty solid with a few standouts, but has a few samey moments.
King of Blues. Nice live album overall.
Not as enjoyable as the other IM album I got. Nothing really stood out to me.
Surprisingly liked this. Waay more than I was expecting.
Fun electronic instrumental album. Has some pretty neat tunes, but does kinda lag on. You start to feel that run time towards the end.
Amazing album, had a few experimental bits I wasn't expecting.
It's whatev. Didn't hate it, just nothing really stood out.
Idk, not my thing. Had some OK stuff here & there, but overall I'll probably never think of this album again.
The live prison setting makes this outlaw country classic even better.
All killer, no filler. This album still holds up to this day. Could easily be renamed the best of Nirvana part 1.
Easily one of the best albums of all time.
Only really cared for the songs I've heard. The rest was extremely forgettable.
Just kind of a sad album. The slow fading of a musical genius. It's not really a great album, but there are still hints & moments hidden throughout makes it still worth the listen.
Surprised I enjoyed his vocals, but the album itself is pretty dull. Maybe perfect for dad rock of the day, but extremely forgettable & bland.
This album is stocked full of early millennium nostalgia. A bit front loaded... Pretty much the last half could've been removed, overall bringing it down.
Probably the best unplugged recording ever. Crazy, but this is probably Nirvana's best album.
Not being on spotify might have effected the ratings some having to listen to YouTube commercials in between each track... But I also wasn't really getting that into the groove with each track. Maybe it was the mixing, but just wasn't really digging it.
I hated the 1st track, but it gets better. Some cool punk songs on here, but overall didn't think the album fits in the 1001 albums to listen to before you die...
This album proves that Kendrick is one of the all-time greatest.
Stranger Things already had me burnt out by her 1 song. Then all the Stranger Things fans made me actually kinda hate it. Ended up keeping this album on repeat & it only got better with each listen. Lol so instead of not liking it, I only kinda dig it.
Attempted to listen to this a week ago, was busy, had trouble listening & a few tracks in, kinda hated it. Super behind on my list, decided to start over & knock out this album &... I kinda dig it. Into the Light, Arabian Knights, & Monitor are jams.
It's OK. Not my favorite, but I didn't really dislike it.
Great voice, only halfway cared for the songs I've heard, otherwise I was just waiting for this one to end.
Is this it? It was already I guess...
Pretty much what I expected it to be, Tom Waits with better vocals.
Kinda fun funky groovy jams.
Solid hip-hop / r&b. Had some really nice pieces in it. The rest was OK. Felt very middle of the pack but didn't hate it at all.
The King.
Some bangers on here, but a few that could've been left off. Pretty dang good overall.
Phenomenal album. Wish he stuck with his 50 states project, but Sufjan has constantly pumped out some extraordinary work since. This will always sit at the top.
Was digging it at 1st. Teachers Pet was absolutely awful. Then it just started feeling more & more like a bad parody of a metal album.
Even as soft background music I was ready for this to just be over. Sounds like music they'd play in a department store while you're stuck shopping with your mom, & you've been ready to leave for an hour now.
I was excited about this one! Remembered loving them back in the day.
I only like "She Wants to Move"
Early Coldplay was absolutely amazing.
Full of nice little folk songs. His vocals eventually grow on you.
Chill, mellow, groovy, but felt neverending...
Such a good album. For 79, this is absurdly ahead of it's time.
Surprised by how much I liked it. Mostly remembered them as like a 2 hit wonder, but this whole album went hard.
Good, just not a fan of big band.
60s britpop overshadowed by the greats. Alright, just had me in the mood for The Beatles.
Chill, trippy, & made for a really good background listen while at work.
Felt like a Wu Tang album. & Wu Tang is forever.
Really good, amazing voice. Fun hearing his take on some popular covers.
Not that big of a jazz fan.
I... Don't hate this. It's weird & abrasive, but it puts off heavy Ween & Primus vibes. Super cool hearing something so experimental, so ahead of its time that would've influenced (much better imo) bands.
I think I like the idea of Tom Waits more than I actually like his music.
I like Bob Marley & the Wailers. Just didn't feel like I connected with it like I do their other work. Idk, maybe I'd rate it differently on another day.
Title track still slaps.
The rest of the album just felt like butt rock style vocals over 80s electronic keyboard.
Hated it at 1st, but it really grows on you. Pretty solid imo. Would've really been into this when it originally came out & probably would've rated it higher.
A few good classic tracks & the rest is just blues filler with an annoying organ.
After my 3rd Bruce Springsteen album I've come to the conclusion that The Boss's music is pretty lame.
Relaxing & chill. Not a huge jazz fan, but this was pretty nice.
Weird & out there & surprisingly neat. Idk, I should probably give it a 4, but I'm giving it a 3.
Forgettable UK indie sleeze
Fiona Apple is amazing. Fan of a few of her other albums, but have never listened to this one other than the hits.
I dig it. Time of the Season is a classic, & the rest of the tracks are chill & fit in nicely with it.
The other Deep Purple album I had absolutely rocked. This one just felt kinda generic & bland.
This was an absolute delight.
Wasn't feeling it at 1st, but it really grows on you. Strong craving for donuts, currently working on it.
Lots of screaming & squealing.
Cool, chill, mellow. Left it on repeat for most of the work day. Makes for some relaxing background music.
Full of great songs that get better with each listen. Still skip the 1st track, but I've grown to really love this album.
Gloom & doom sounding. Oddly perfect mood for the day...
My past few British punk albums were pretty awful, so I wasn't too excited for this one at 1st. It immediately turned into a nice surprise. Feels like the precursor to early pop punk. This album is a bop.
Idk, the doors are whatever imo. 2nd album I've gotten of there's & just wasn't really feeling this one either.
Good stuff, have always enjoyed Elliott Smith, so it was nice revisiting an album I have not listened to in forever. Well written songs, feel simple & somber.
Enjoyed most of it, runaway child was kinda bad. Otherwise pretty great album.
Was digging it, but having to use YouTube really ruins the flow...
Nice long drawn out electronic grooves.
Either absolutely amazing songs, or just kinda whatever songs. Just the 1st half would've been an easy 4-5
This whole thing is amazing. I usually skip any bonus tracks, but I was even hooked on those.
Kinda generic. Easy to put on & forget you're even listening to music.
Got some jams, got some stuff I'd skip next time around. Overall it's just kinda whatever.
Not that great overall, but I really started to dig the vocalist. The cover was my favorite track.
Not sure how to describe it, but this whole album rubbed me the wrong way...
Pretty generic 90s west coast punk, didn't hate it tho
Pretty nice & easy to listen to on repeat.
Kinda hated it, but maybe I just wasn't in the mood for yacht rock. Easy listening for boring people.
Had a few good moments, but overall just didn't care for it. Was mostly waiting for it to finish.
Not really a huge Van Halen fan, always held huge respect for Eddie's talent though. This whole album is pretty rad & full of hits.
I just really don't like Ska. I also really don't like whatever else this is.
The vocals ruin a lot of it. I enjoyed some of the songs, but completely forgettable otherwise.
Our house is still a jam. The rest is pretty meh & not worth being on this list.
Super solid. I've hated everything I've gotten prior from these guys which surprised me. But turns out all the stuff of these I enjoyed was off of this album.
Nostalgic since it's pretty much the Donny Darko soundtrack.
Rockin 80s hair metal. Idk, not really a fan of the genre, but this album has enough catchy hits & good energy that it's at least an enjoyable listen.
I've always enjoyed Prince's main pop hits & respected his talent as one of the world's greatest guitar players of all time. But this album only had a few tracks I could get into, mostly the singles. The rest was definitely funky & well produced, but just never landed for me.
Dropping N-bombs like he's Sam Jackson in a Tarantino flick lol
& sure I guess it fits within the context of the albums concept... But it's definitely a shock.
Looking beyond that, I'm not really a fan of piano heavy singer songwriter music.
Jazz is nice in short bits, but really makes me annoyed & uncomfortable in long form.
Awesome electronic jams that I hadn't listened to in a while.
Not as good as the other Led Zeppelin albums I've gotten so far. But Kashmir always rocks. Felt more like British band rockin out over blues riffs, but still a great album overall.
Decent, but didn't feel as ground breaking as their last album I got on this list.
Great set of tracks, all classics.
Great album, but boy is it long. Feel like there's a fair amount of fat that could be trimmed to make it an easy 5 for me. I've listened to other Smashing Pumpkins albums, but never got around to this one with the exception of the singles. Lots of hidden gems on here, but you've got to work for them.
Great song writing, but my overall impression was it's OK.
Wasn't expecting to enjoy this, but it's getting saved for later.
Solid Christmas album. I'd hate the radio around the holidays less if they mostly stuck to these tracks.
Had a few decent tracks, but overall wasn't a fan. Just lame dad rock.
Bunch of Beatles classics, but not as fluid of their other albums.
A few greats, a few fillers.
Easy 3.the singles are still bops, the rest is mostly just whatever.
I've always heard how hyped up Lupe was, but never heard much from him except for kick, push & daydreamin. Not bad & kinda surprised he never got as big as someone like Kanye. But that's only my opinion off of this one album. Outro sucks.
I feel like this albums demographic is wine drunk suburban housewifes.
I'm feeling pretty experienced.
Idk, the last Hendrix album I got was a bit lackluster from what I remembered it being, but this is the one with mostly all the hits. Super solid & ground breaking.
Chill electronic Latin American grooves
I don't hate Jazz, I just don't really like it...
Dug it, imagine is still a great song even though it's completely overplayed.
Zeppeli, why do you ... sound so dire?
What an album. Out of 5, this is a 6.
5 minutes in I was tired of the xylophone. Music would've been chill if it wasn't mixed into the front of every track.
Eh, it's whatev but I don't, like, hate it though...
I feel like Neil Young is pretty hit or miss. But his misses aren't really bad, they're just kinda whatever. Old Man is the standout track & still a bop.
Great voice, but her album felt too much of its time. Too cliche 80s R&B sax sounding.
This list made me a huge David Bowie fan, but if I got this one earlier I probably would've rated it much lower.
Eh, scruffy voice & kinda lack luster tunes.
Take Your Mama has always been a favorite. This whole album just wants to have fun.
"Disintegration is the best album ever!"
Pretty dang catchy stuff.
Definitely full of fun 90s bops, but overall it runs kinda long only ending up to be just OK overall.
Practically a Wu-Tang album & Wu-Tang is forever.
Jazzy noodling that seemingly lasts forever while going nowhere.
What the hell even is this?
I swear it was an hour of the same song on repeat.
Prince at his best. This whole album is a bop.
Solid songwriting, full of fun jams. Got behind on this list cause I wasn't done listening to this album.
Absolute gem of an album.
Not really a country fan... But this is still lightyears ahead of whatever that garbage is they're playing on modern country stations nowadays.
Great electronic album, less trip hop than previously, a few songs are kinda whatever, but pretty good overall.
It's alright, great voice, but was only into a few of the songs.
A bit too ambient for my airports. Great background music. The cover art is a 5.
Different from the other Bowie albums, doesn't hit as strong & as immediate as his other albums, but it does grow on you. Has some really nice, chill ambient tracks.
Solid album with some Bob Marley classics.
Absolute banger of an album.
Honestly just sounded like punk themed static. Album repeated at least once without me noticing. Not bad, just nothing that stands out.
Some of the best songs ever written mixed in with a few other generic Queen tracks.
Short & to the point. Punchy & fun.
Weirdly ahead of its time sounding
Pretty good album that I'll probably never listen to again. Maybe I'm not sad nor dad enough for it. Or maybe this album just alluded me during my depressed indie phase.
Not really into it... Wait, Superstition is on this! Big Brother is alright... & now back to not caring about this. Although it has a slow start, I Believe does end things with a solid jam at least.
My favorite Arcade Fire album as well as an all-time favorite.
Fun grooves that won't stop
I'm definitely not the demographic for this, but it's got some solid jams mixed in. Has a few tracks I've gone back to.
Damn girl, get it!
Generic 70s UK punk. A genre that's already over represented on this list.
Ray Charles fixed country music by making it not country. Seriously, what a baller of an album title.
Sounds like an album that influenced a huge amount of artist. Not really my thing, but still solid songwriting.
I really dig a few songs from their other albums, but 1st time listening to a full record by them. Good, but nothing really stood out. Maybe I need to give it a few more listens to really make a connection with it.
Lots of solid stuff in here, lots of generic blues riffs as well.
What's the difference between a toddler & a bag of coke?...
I don't really like her voice.
I completely agree with the review: "What if The Flaming Lips never, ever, ever did drugs even one time and frankly is offended that you even asked about it?"
Kinda whiny & ruins the songs I already liked.
Was kinda digging the 1st few tracks, then completely lost interest.
Gotta decent groove to it
Weird & wonky acoustic folk.
Lol a greatest hits album from a one hit wonder band???
Pretty rad album. A bit psychedelic with a nice cohesive flow.
Bunch of hits I've heard a thousand times plus a few tracks I've never heard that were equally as good.
Not really bad or anything, enjoyed it, just don't think it really has enough to be on this list.
Surprised I never got into them when I was in my nu metal phase. This album was freaking rad.
Piano heavy jam of mostly covers. Idk, not really my thing.
One of the best songs of the era. Plus some other stuff. Mostly alright, few skippable stinkers tho.
Definitely know him for Cars, but the whole album is just as good.
It's alright. Inoffensive psych rock.
The African influences push this from OK to amazing. The few songs that lack that are what brings it down a tick.
I'm sure mom's in the late 70s loved this.
Super cheesy by modern standards. But for music of that era, not bad & the type of stuff I was actually looking forward to being on this list.
A high school me favorite. Still hits hard 25 years later.
The Flaming Lips, but boring.
Has a few nice moments here & there, but overall felt it was pretty whatever.
Got some chill grooves & fun electro dance vibes. Other parts comes off as cheesy trip hop.
THE electronic album of the indie sleese era.
Stevie Wonder writes some of the cheesiest songs ever.
Loved her other album. Not digging a bunch of covers. Her singing is still solid at least...
Dammit, it's still pretty good.
Relived to find out it's only the 1st 12 tracks, not the whole double album.
Great set of songs overall.
Chill ambient beats to work to.
Too romantic for a Monday afternoon at work.
Ugh, it's over an hour...
OK, has a few jams, plus Timbaland & the Neptune's production saves a good bit of this.
Some really nice electronic grooves & some other stuff.
Finally, a super solid UK punk album.
1st song kinda drags on for too long, but the rest is pretty dang groovy & chill.
Absolutely wild, I feel completely exhausted after, & plan on never listening to it ever again.
Chill minimal indie electronic.
Not a bad album.... but a day after listening to it, I honestly don't remember much from it at all. Middle of the road & not memorable.
Instantly in a good mood.
It was a jam, but probably needed to jam out to it a bit more for a higher rating...
Hip hop classic. Almost feels like a Snoop album at times.
Kept going back & forth between how I felt on this one... Definitely enjoyed a few tracks, but ultimately I don't see why it should be here other than the author's bias. After a 2nd listen, I felt it got worse.
Has some pretty interesting stuff going on. Too bad none of it is that good.
Absolutely groundbreaking for its time. Their next 2 albums deserve to be on this list as well.
I like the idea of Tom Waits more than I like his music.
Only knew the hits going into this. Good & grungy. Vocals get whiny sounding at times, but when they hit, they hit.
Loved the afro beats, got tired of the jazz...
I kinda was digging some of this, but nearly 6 minutes of "Don't" brings it down a star.
Well this was a fun surprise. At times this is unreal for 73. I'd say it'd be perfect if he dropped the more traditional for-the-times tracks, only keeping the weird tripy stuff.
Was ready to be a little disappointed, then got blasted by one of their best hits!
Then slowly got disappointed by the rest...
But wait! Their other best hit is on here too!!
It's just the 1st 9 tracks.
It's got some long loopy droney jams & as a whole, it's alright. Kinda annoying how this site always selects the whole deluxe, multi disc version & not just the core album.
Not what I was expecting. Mellow, easygoing synth jams. Could've done without the screaming in Frankie, but OK overall.
Like a Rolling Stone is still a jam, the rest takes some time to grow on you though.
Has some nice moments, but extremely forgettable overall.
Too cheesy to take seriously.
Didn't care for this one as much as I did the other album of theirs I got.
Has a few White Stripes classics, but I honestly feel like it doesn't hold up as well as it used to. Still enjoyable enough I reckon.
Disc 1 just felt like the same song over & over. Disc 2 a bit more lively. Idk, this live album feels like a cheap inclusion.
Dug it. Probably would've rated higher after a few listens, I feel like MBV deserves it to get into their albums more.
Brutal listening experience.
A few dang good tracks & some other middle of the road r&b. Great singer on the songs
I was groovin at 1st, but the longer it went on, the more I grew to hate it. Free Form Guitar is the straw that broke the camels back with an explosion of fake, wannabe psychedelic guitar nonsense.
Eh, kinda rock-ish but not quite working for me. Feels forgettable.
Genre defining. The answer for where to get started with shoegaze.
Wasn't expecting much since I wasn't into her last album, but really enjoyed this one.
Bleepy, bloopy, & relaxing
Bunch of bangers. A few of his mega hits, plus songs I'd've never heard that I thought were even better.
Dang, rest in peace. Brian Wilson absolutely shaped music to come.
Aware of the singles, but never listened to this til now. When it originally came out, I was already into bands like Korn, so I assumed this'd be up my alley & a nostalgia trip in a way...
Beautiful People is still solid, the rest is just super cheesy or weirdly cringey.
Really like a bunch of Jay Z songs. WTT & 4:44 are both pretty great.
This whole album is just him jacking himself off. Great production but super overrated & full of lyrics about how amazing he is.
Dang, instead of playing a 60s mix, I'm just putting this on.
Has some moments I really enjoyed & then kinda gets a bit into it self to the point of where it loses me.
Brian Eno is just a chill dude who likes to make chill music.
This is everything I wish modern country was.
Struggle with live albums on here. This is more worth seeing live (if it were possible now) than an album you need to listen to. I mean Gov't Mule is still around... Although I guess none of them were with the band at the time of this show. Idk, this is a big decent jam of whateverness.
Eh, it's OK...oh, they wrote THAT song. 90s one hit wonder. Not bad, but not worth listening.
Plays black music. Ends up being a racist twat. Decent music from an awful person.
Honestly, all the French kinda ruined it. Super cool otherwise...until I read the synopsis, hella creepy.
Went back & forth between loving & hating this. Part of what makes this great, goes a bit too hard into it where I can't stand it.
Weird having a movies soundtrack on here, but it's still an amazing album.
Far from my favorite Air album tho, feels like they've got a few that'd deserve to be on here over this.
Not what I'd expect from bjork's 1st album/band, but surprisingly catchy & fun.
Rockin but all the songs feels very samey.
Although it was probably fun show, that energy doesn't really transfer to the recording. Live albums don't really work out well here.
Pretty much garbage country music til the last few songs, then it kinda evens out with some less garbage but more traditional The Byrds sounding tracks. Was going to give this a 2, but the country music was so bad...
Short, fun, & to the point.
Reminds me of all the half-assed hippies in college. The only time I'd agree to listening to any of this again is if a track popped up on Sublime radio.
Big Muff is my favorite fuzz pedal.
Nice early grunge, just not all the songs were that great. Loved the energy & sound tho.
Load of bollocks got me bloody knackered.
Neat 80s synth stuff, overall felt dated.
Interesting listen at least. I've really enjoyed world, especially the more African influenced albums, but this one just didn't connect for me.
Not bad, just a middle of the road, forgettable album, that doesn't really hold that much of an inpact or importance.
Dang, this is what I'm doing the list for.
Eh, I generally thought it was OK at best at times.
Dumb album for dumb-dumbs.
Ugh, fuck Kanye & all, but this still slaps. Such an absolute disappointment of a human.
Songs are either all out bangers or bland easy-listening. Man, I really wanted to rate this one higher...
Pretty decent thrash. I'd probably rate this higher if I spent more time with it.
Goes back & forth between solidly OK to surprisingly alright.
His vocals suck. Literally anyone else singing would make this at least a bit bearable.
"Morrissey sucks, but he's soo talented!" I absolutely don't get the talented part...
At times a solid 4, but then it slowly ended with me losing that feeling.
Decent new wave, had some amazing tracks, but kinda dragged a bit between them.
Rest in peace, Prince of Darkness.
A few CCR bangers with some other chill tracks to spread things out.
Fun, overall OK, poppy punk.
1st half is solid, 2nd half kinda faded into the background for me. Fairly fun overall.
Wasn't expecting such a bop. 80s pop at its absolute best.
Pretty groovy, but each track starts to feel extremely repetitive.
Easily one of the best albums of all time.
All over the place in the best way. Tracks start to sound generic, then slowly warp into a bit of weirdness as they keep going.
Wasn't expecting 90s French hip-hop, pretty dang rad.
Phenomenal album from one of the greatest bands of all time.
Dug it. Weird, wonky, & a bit psychedelic. Has a few annoyances that pop up, but I kinda started to dig on re-listens.
Nonstop banger after banger. Still goes hard 28 years later.
Regret not getting into these guys in my more hard core punk-ish phase, even if I wasn't really ever that hard core or punk lol. Decent overall & can see why it's on here.
Has a few great moments, just kinda long, but easy listening. Great, after a few re-listens.
Actually good new wave. Definitely a jam.
Phenomenal album. Sad he'd never see how influential his music became.
35 minutes of gorgeous music completely ruined my the most obnoxious vibrato vocals I've ever heard.
Enjoyed jamming to it at work. Enjoyed jamming to it driving home.
Either I'm warming up to his style or this one actually wasn't as bad as his others...
As much as I've listened to Deerhunter in the past, I never got around to this album. Probably my new favorite of theirs.
Kinda interesting, kinda weird, kinda liked it, kinda didn't.
Got a lot going on here. Most of it I liked alright.
Not only are all these songs cheesy, they also suck.
Groovy weird album. Talking Heads are great.
There's some great production here. Plus some catchy pop, I guess I can see why it's on here...
I'm not listening to disc 2, only the original release tracks.
My millennial senses are tingling.
Started off not really in to it, but slowly converted as the album went on. Pretty solid rock album that I feel deserves a bit of time with.
Feels like a greatest hits album.
Extremely talented musicians, but annoying as an album.
Listened to the whole thing, but feel like my rating is more for disc 1. Disc 2 kinda dragged & wasn't as good. Anyways, pleasantly surprised by the 1st half.
Sounds like if Nick Cave wrote a Leonard Cohen album.
Mostly cheesy late 80s hip hop. Feels like a better representation of the genre exists to replace it on here.
Huh, wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. Was honestly expecting it to be more generic UK junk the author liked. Plus Coconut is on here! I can see this definitely deserving to be on here.
Pretty bland a flavorless.
This dude does not deserve to have 5 albums on here. Sadly I have 1 more of his to look forward to.
Pretty dang rad. RIP Dimebag Darrell.
I just want to be done with Elvis Costello.
Not too much here,but not bad. A one hit wonder band, but that's on another album.
Annoying vocals, annoying songs, with hints of interesting musical bits hidden throughout. Overall, just can't stand the smiths
Finally done with Leonard Cohen.
god gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers
Although every track just feels like a slightly different Ace of Spades, it's still pretty rockin.
Jailbait: lol wtf dude.
Smooth, easy listening that grow into slight earworms.
And also a little bizarre... ゴゴゴゴ
Early 2000s bops featuring production by Pharrell & Timbaland.
Was mostly just wanting it to end, but still feel no other negative feelings towards it. Just whatever soul.
Does kinda sound like Nirvana... Rockin otherwise.
Wasn't expecting it to be mostly bangers.
I liked the closing track.
Had 1 song I liked, but the rest was pretty boring & unremarkable.
Woah, I've been looking forward to this one. Didn't disappoint. Super lush & atmospheric.
Alrightish sad dad indie I guess. Short so easy to get a relisten in which helps it grow on you a little. Not a fan of the vocals as a whole, a few tracks are misses.
It's alright. Kinda trying hard to sound like Frank Ocean at times.
Kinda boring inoffensive dad rock.
Rad. This list needs more world music.
Pretty enjoyable! Until imagine lol
Dug the Arabic singing
Mostly feels like they were on cruise control for this one. Tomorrow Never Knows definitely stands out from the rest.
Kinda boring, generic pop music. Robbie never really made it that big over here, so this one isn't standing out as anything to me.
It was alright. Kinda chill & spacious sounding. Not as stand out as their other work.
Front heavy, last few songs start to drag, but super solid overall
Had some pretty fun, catchy tracks.
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's dare
As if there weren't enough 80s British New Wave on this list...
Fairly chill African jams
The bones are the skeletons' money
In our world bones equal dollars
That's why they're comin' out tonight
To get their bones from you
The skeletons'll pull your hair
Up but not out
Title track is practically a modern American standard. The rest of the album is OK, but feels a bit samesy.
An OK Artic Monkeys side project. Wouldn't put it here otherwise.
Sounds like a Gorillaz knockoff.
Rad early electronic jams. Bad day for me to have a headache tho
It's an OK live album I guess. Was going to give it a 2, but it ended up having its moments. Mostly not a fan of live albums on the list.
Absolutely phenomenal album.
I was kinda digging it, til it started drifting more & more country.
Guess I'm a fudgeless bad boy.
Got a lot going on here. Mostly feels pretty dated. Like something mom's in the 70s enjoyed listening to.
Huh, was expecting to hate this. Seems like a inspiration for the album Centipede HZ by Animal Collective. At least reminds me of it.
Eh, 90s nothing radio rock
I feel like this one is a grower & requires repeat listens to fully get.
Already forgot I listened to this.
There's too much of The Byrds on here, but I reckon this album can stay.
Goes back & forth between being super rad & kinda meh.
The one reviewer who said listen to this on YouTube was correct. The Spotify version isn't the right one. Baller album.
Rad album, surprised I hadn't listened to it before. Surprisingly more influential than I expected.
The skits are so fucking stupid. Take them out & it's an easy 5.
Like they are seriously annoying. I was desperately looking for a version without the narration cause I genuinely enjoy the music.
Kinda whatever for a Beatles album. Early pop tracks with covers that don't work as well as the originals. Feels like an album they threw out there just to pump albums out.
Hella rad. Loved Wildboyz.
Raw & grungy, has its moments
Nothing but bops & bangers.
Ya ya!
But forreal, absolutely phenomenal album.
Not really a Bon Jovi fan... But I guess this is the one to listen to if you want some of the main hits. The rest fits in pretty well, just not a fan.
Joshua Tree proves they're capable of greatness. This just feels like a watered down version of something that could be good. Bland & flavorless.
She reminds me of the most annoying girls I met in college... But that's not her fault. Powerful vocals.
Dang, was disappointed by the other Pixies albums, but this one hits just right.
I've never stopped believing in anything called Love.
Half baller album, half annoying gimmick.
Saw them at their last Red Rocks show, really made me fall in love with the band. Surprised to see one of their albums on here.
Great early hip hop sound.
Damn he hates women. Like, he might as well've been gay with views like that.
Had a few songs I really liked. Also had moments where I suddenly remembered, oh yeah, I'm listening to this... & it's not that long of an album..
Has got some interesting weirdness going on, but not really any interesting songs.
I think this a good example of an album that could be taken off this list.
Highwater mark for 90s pop punk.
All killer. No filler.
Pretty rad stuff overall. There's a few tracks that got kinda annoying, but super chill & jammy album.
Eh, just tired of the Byrds. OK otherwise I guess...
Kinda weird for the sake of being weird.
Enjoyed it more than I thought I would! Sounds better than the cover looks. Still had a few stinkers, but decent otherwise.
Gets better if you play it loud.
Got a lot going on. Bunch of short tracks that are either OK or okay.
Stories from somewhere in between.
Fun surprise of a triphop album I wasn't expecting
Pretty good, plus a few tracks I've always loved.
Cheesy but not in a fun way.
Well dang. I regret not listening to this earlier.
Not really bad, just not really for me.
In a more perfect world, I'd rate what belongs on here vs how much I liked it.
Short & solid. Enjoyed jamming out on repeat.
Music for an obnoxiously hip/trendy clothing store that you can't afford.
Biased cause I'm a big TVotR fan. But I'd probably replace this album with Return to Cookie Mountain.
Extremely cheesy, but some of the songs are pretty well written...
What an absolute fucking G. This shit goes hard. Modern country could never.
It's alright. Starts off with their best song.
Watered down rock with whiny vocals
90s grocery store background music
A totally biased 5...
Spirit of Eden & The Laughing Stock need to both be on here instead tho.
Cheesy music for total cornball.
Longing for the old order.
Singing sounds kinda bored, but there's some nice musical bits
Getting preached to for about an hour, but 34 years later, he's completely dead on.
Enjoyed it. A few songs removed away from a 5.
Sounds like a mix between early Coldplay & Radiohead.
Fell in love with Tigermilk. This album has the sound, but not the same magic. An extremely biased 4.
Easy option of an album to remove.
I didn't hate it, just didn't feel standout enough
I didn't hate it, just didn't feel standout enough.
Really dug it, but I also have always enjoyed The Roots. See them live if you ever get a chance!
The recording sounds old, but some of their earlier tracks were still great. Some tracks have a bit of a doo-wop sound. The album was pretty OK overall.
Brian Eno is just a chill guy who likes to make chill music
Surprisingly good. Sounds exactly like LCD Soundsystem at times.
Viel Lärm, aber ein interessantes Hörerlebnis.
Kinda boppy, but also kinda annoying
His album 'Be' was Mythic Rare good. This album is only a mere Common.
I was never a Kanye fan til getting absolutely blown away by this album. Extremely disappointed in his current trajectory.
