Dusty Springfield
4/5
Blue eyed soul. Songs don't have the typical verse and chorus structure. More of a lyrical journey. She's got a breathy, sensual voice. Favorite songs were Son of a Preacher Man, Just One Smile, and Windmills of your Mind
4 likes
Janet Jackson
5/5
Fun album. The social commentary was a bit heavy handed at the beginning but after the first 3 tracks she said, "Get the point? Good. Let's dance." Afterwards followed more typical songs

Slow and funky. YT comments have me convinced this is best listened to while smoking weed

Blur
4/5
British pop from the 90s. Almost every song in here is fun. I was familiar with the 1st track Girls and Boys but the rest were new to me. I liked Tracy Jacks, Parklife, Bank Holiday, and London Loves
The Doors
3/5
This album grew on me. First listen through it just seemed okay. By the 3rd listen I liked most of the songs. Favorites were Riders on the Storm, Love Her Madly, LA Woman, Hyacinth House, and Cars Hiss By My Window
Dusty Springfield
4/5
Blue eyed soul. Songs don't have the typical verse and chorus structure. More of a lyrical journey. She's got a breathy, sensual voice. Favorite songs were Son of a Preacher Man, Just One Smile, and Windmills of your Mind
Big Brother & The Holding Company
2/5
Not a fan of Joplin's voice
New Order
3/5
Synth pop. Weird that their song titles don't match their lyrics. Their songs all kinda sound the same to me but if that's the sound you like then it's a good thing. Favorite songs were Love Vigilantes and Elegia
Joni Mitchell
4/5
I'd heard this was supposed to be an amazing album but on first listen I just didn't get it. There were weird syncopations, unexpected falsetto, and some songs weren't sung so much as liltingly spoken.
I did some research to see why this was considered a great album. Digging into her history have some background to some of the songs and those lyrics were just so poignant. She creates scenes and feelings so well and with so few words. This album almost felt like you were reading a diary it's so personal.
I'm not entirely sure I like her style but it's growing on me.
Fav songs: Little Green, Carey, River, Case of You
The Who
3/5
Fun album but not familiar enough with The Who to know how the live songs were different from the originals
Iron Maiden
2/5
Metal isn't really my thing but it wasn't horrible. There were a couple songs I liked: Remember Tomorrow, Running Free, and Transylvania
Beth Orton
3/5
Nice voice, interesting lyrics. Liked the song Stolen Car
The Pogues
5/5
Didn't realize Celtic punk was a thing but I really liked it
Spiritualized
2/5
Okay as background music I guess
Parliament
5/5
Fun and Funky
R.E.M.
4/5
Hard to believe that sound came out in 1983
First half of the album is good but drops off afterwards
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Debut album. Didn't know they started out doing blues covers but it sounded good
Led Zeppelin
4/5
A bit too long, but excellent guitar work. I did not care for it on first listen, but took a couple play throughs for me to start to appreciate it.
Favorite songs: Boogie with Stu, Kashmir, Trampled under Foot, the Rover
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
5/5
First real exposure to Neil Young and I loved all the songs on this album. The acoustic side was beautiful, and the electric side was very grungy, not what I expected to hear in the 70s. Not for nothing was he called the godfather of grunge
Marvin Gaye
3/5
Nice voice but all the songs sounded the same to me
Janet Jackson
5/5
Fun album. The social commentary was a bit heavy handed at the beginning but after the first 3 tracks she said, "Get the point? Good. Let's dance." Afterwards followed more typical songs
Elliott Smith
4/5
Never heard of this guy before but I love his sound
Pere Ubu
1/5
The auditory equivalent of visiting a modern art museum and having no idea what's going on
Queen
3/5
Liked a couple songs but most were just okay to me. Fav song was the White Queen. March of the Black Queen sounded like a forerunner to Bohemian Rhapsody
Metallica
3/5
Not a fan of heavy metal but I did like Enter Sandman, Unforgiven, and Nothing Else Matters
Janelle Monáe
3/5
That's no doubt she's talented but this music wasn't for me. I got bored halfway through
3/5
Slow and funky. YT comments have me convinced this is best listened to while smoking weed
Madonna
5/5
Great album. Not too familiar with Madonna beyond what I've heard on the oldies station but I enjoyed pretty much every song on here
Steely Dan
4/5
Fun album, liked most of the songs on here, despite only being familiar with Rikki Don't Lose That Number. Nice short and sweet album
The Smashing Pumpkins
1/5
Didn't like Smashing Pumpkins in the 90s. Still don't like them. Corgan's voice is so annoying
OutKast
2/5
Generally not a fan of hip hop but I didn't completely hate it. I enjoyed the songs on the second half more than the first half. Fav songs: I Like the Way you Move, Hey Ya, Bowtie, Roses
The Velvet Underground
1/5
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
3/5
Some fun songs here, however I wish I could unknow the meaning of the song Krisco Kisses. Ick
Dire Straits
4/5
Fun bluesy rock album. I like their sound
Jack White
2/5
Didn't care for the first half of the album, but the second half was alright. I liked I'm Shakin' and Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy
Röyksopp
2/5
Okay background music, that's about it for me
Arcade Fire
5/5
Don't normally listen to indie music but I really liked this one
Small Faces
2/5
Music was alright but didn't like the spoken parts by Stanley Unwin and his nonsensical language
The Police
5/5
Not a bad song on here. I had only been familiar with their singles but I liked pretty much every song. I had never realized that the Police had a reggae sound, but it's pretty obvious once it's pointed out
Creedence Clearwater Revival
5/5
When over half the songs are released as singles you know it's going to be a good album. Love their sound
The Byrds
2/5
A bold endeavor but ultimately not for me
Brian Eno
4/5
Surprisingly, I liked this one. Great background music that's not distracting
Barry Adamson
2/5
Some songs were okay, but some were highly annoying
The Who
4/5
Fun album
Beatles
3/5
An early album with a fair number of covers. The songs are alright but kinda forgettable
Sonic Youth
1/5
Just can't stand it
Joni Mitchell
2/5
I admit, I just don't get Joni Mitchell. I like reading her lyrics, I like the music the musicians play, but put it all together with her singing and I just don't like it that much. I wish her singing was more connected to the music instead of doing its own thing
Marvin Gaye
2/5
Couldn't get into this one. Seemed too self indulgent
Buena Vista Social Club
4/5
No idea what they were saying but it sounded so happy. Liked it
Tracy Chapman
3/5
Waylon Jennings
5/5
I'm warming up to country and I enjoy hearing part of its history. Loved the sound on this one
Jean-Michel Jarre
3/5
Sounds like a scifi soundtrack from the 70s. Seems kinda relaxing
Yes
2/5
Was okay but didn't seem like anything special
Johnny Cash
5/5
Loved it
3/5
Was only just okay for me
Scott Walker
3/5
Enjoyed this one, great voice and lush music. I think with more listens this would move up a star
Rufus Wainwright
2/5
Living Colour
3/5
Elton John
5/5
So talented. Every song on here was great
Various Artists
5/5
Pretty awesome Christmas album. Phil Spector produced some great music but was a terrible human being
Pulp
3/5
Was okay but nothing that memorable
Moby Grape
4/5
Never heard of these guys before but was a quick fun album
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
2/5
An interesting bit of folk history and I can certainly see where he gets the Ramblin' nickname
Pink Floyd
2/5
Not a fan of double albums or concept albums so it was uphill going for me. Felt bloated. There were some good songs on here but it felt like it was taking too long to get there. Not for me but I can understand why some would love it
Depeche Mode
5/5
Big fan of Depeche Mode's singles so it was fun to dive into one of their albums to hear some lesser known songs
Cypress Hill
2/5
Really liked the backing music, but still don't like rap so 2 stars for me
T. Rex
5/5
Man what a fun, fun album. I wasn't very familiar with this band (I only knew Bang a Gong) but I really enjoyed this album. The songs were fun, catchy and meshed well together. I expect I'll be listening to this one a lot in the near future
Ray Charles
3/5
I think I enjoyed the history of this album more than the album itself
Rage Against The Machine
1/5
Nope, not for me
Bob Dylan
4/5
It took at least two complete play throughs before i could get used to his voice. He's not the most skilled singer, "if sandpaper could sing" is how one person is quoted in Dylan's wiki article. However, once I got used to it I really started to enjoy the songs and the lyrics. Great turn of phrase and imagery. The more I listen the more I like it, 4 stars for now but could edge up into 5 down the road
Yes
2/5
Was okay but kinda boring
George Harrison
5/5
This album was so long (100 min) but so good. The last 20 min are just instrumental jam sessions, which I'm not usually a fan of, but with 2 Beatles (Ringo on the drums) plus Eric Clapton on guitar it was just amazing. I was like, "Over already?"
The Beach Boys
4/5
Not being familiar with the history of the Beach Boys I was quite surprised to hear the first track was an environmentally- conscious admonition to Don't Go Near the Water. They sing about student protests, and depression (in Feel Flows), but also feet so their themes are all over the place. I liked most of their songs, favorite was Long Promised Road
Crosby, Stills & Nash
3/5
Was okay. Harmonies were nice, but still felt like it was lacking something. Overall rather forgettable
Elvis Costello
4/5
Wasn't crazy about this at first, but multiple play throughs changed my mind. There's some catchy songs on here. Also Sesame Street did a parody of Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes, called a Monster Went and Ate My Red 2, that was pretty fun
Bee Gees
2/5
Was okay. It felt like there were a lot of down tempo songs. Would have been nice to have a bit more variety. I did enjoy How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Somebody Stop the Music, Don't Want to Live Inside Myself, and Walking Back to Waterloo
Sleater-Kinney
2/5
Almost started to like it but didn't care for the vocals, too much yelling
The Auteurs
3/5
Fine but, ultimately, forgettable. Liked Show Girl and Early Years
Norah Jones
4/5
This caught me at the perfect time: a snowy day spent relaxing at home
The Flaming Lips
3/5
I remember having a cassette of the Flaming Lips in the 90s. This one is better imo. I really liked Do You Realize, Fight Test, and Yoshimi and the Robots. The other tracks were okay but nothing to get excited about. I did enjoy their sound and their quirky lyrics
The Louvin Brothers
2/5
Interesting bit of country history. Tight harmonies and some of the songs tug at the heartstrings but the songs all kinda sound the same to me
Guns N' Roses
3/5
A strong debut album with multiple hits still played (and maybe over played) on oldies stations
Nico
1/5
Her voice is certainly...um...niche. Not for everyone and certainly not for me. I did find this interesting quote from Nico about this album:
"I still cannot listen to it, because everything I wanted for that record, they took it away. I asked for drums, they said no. I asked for more guitars, they said no. And I asked for simplicity, and they covered it in flutes! ... They added strings and – I didn't like them, but I could live with them. But the flute! The first time I heard the album, I cried and it was all because of the flute."
Blur
2/5
Parklife was my first album on this project and I had never heard of Blur before but I really liked it. It was so fun. I get they were trying to get in on the grunge sound with this album but I didn't like it
Jefferson Airplane
3/5
Elvis Presley
3/5
Never really listened to Elvis before. He's kinda fun
Def Leppard
3/5
Not usually a hard rock fan but these songs are just so darn catchy. I think further listening would bump this up a star
Beatles
4/5
Fun album
Iron Maiden
1/5
Not for me
Rush
2/5

The Teardrop Explodes
2/5

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
3/5
Kinda liked it. Will probably revisit later
Erykah Badu
2/5
Songs seemed to blend together and nothing really stood out
De La Soul
2/5
Ok I just don't like rap, but this... this was alright. I didn't hate it. I rather liked that it sounded upbeat and happy
Nine Inch Nails
1/5
I liked Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt better than the original. The only other song I liked was A Warm Place, which stands in stark contrast to the rest of the album's industrial yelling
Boards of Canada
2/5
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
Awesome album. Loved the many layers of instruments and his dark voice. I'll have to check out some more of his albums. Didn't quite make it up to 5 stars for me but perhaps more listens will bring it up

1/5
I usually like to listen at least 2 or 3 times all the way through just to give it a fair chance but I just couldn't do it with this one
3/5
Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me. I liked maybe half the songs, but the ones I liked I really liked
Pulp
3/5
First album I got from Pulp was really bland, but this one was much better. Feels like it could go up a star with more listens
Otis Redding

I never listened to Lana much before, writing her off as "too sad", but I'm surprised at how much I liked this one. Her voice is quite lovely and the music is beautiful. But be warned, there's no upbeat songs on here so it's maybe not an everyday album

Be sure you listen to the original album with 8 tracks and not the rerelease with 26. I suspect all the reviews complaining about this album being too long were listening to the rerelease. Now, if 30 min of bongos is too much for you, I can respect that, but I thought it was pretty fun

I'm so tired of hearing Elvis Costello. The album was ok, I even liked a couple songs, but it doesn't need to be on this list. Only like 100 more Costello albums to go...

I'm not a Taylor fan so I've never listened to her more than what gets played on the radio. I didn't hate it. In fact I liked some of it. I could have wished for more variety of sound and, if this is a lot like her previous album, I agree with others that it doesn't need to be on this list. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4
