Wu-Tang Clan
1/5
I've heard this described as one of, if not THE, greatest hip-hop album of all time. Well, if this is the definitive, then I'm prepared to write off the genre as a whole at this point. I'm sorry to say that I hated this. I went in with an open mind and listened to the full album, watched a review of the album that provided a lot of context, but I just simply did not enjoy this. I won't be listening to this again. Sorry to all Wu-Tang Clan fans out there, it's just not for me. At least I can say that with confidence now having given it a real chance.

Wow! This may be the best hip hop album I've ever listened to. Fantastic from start to finish.

Sly & The Family Stone
2/5
I didn't enjoy this much at all. Some songs were torture and I ended up skipping it entirely (looking at you, Track 2). Some of it was good soul music, I enjoyed the song "Sex Machine" a bit, the vibes were good. But this just isn't my thing overall. Some songs reminded me of The Who who I know were popular in this era. Not something I would listen to again.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
I really enjoyed the album. I've been wanting to get into reggae for the past few months now so I'm glad that this was my listen for today, I thought this was a strong introduction to this type of music. No Woman No Cry is a classic for good reason but so many of these songs were catchy and fun to listen to. Great pick for today.
Justice
5/5
This album is a brilliant musical adventure. I didn't love every single track but every track surprised me and kept me engaged. I was looking forward to hearing what was next. There's nothing predictable about this album. It's something I would definitely listen to again and maybe the tracks I didn't like as much would warm up on me. Very pleased with this pick.
Moby
3/5
First listen ever. It's not bad, it has some good (even great) moments too. But I found it repetitive and not that interesting or unique. Sounds like some quintessential 90s/2000s to me though, really captures the zeitgeist of the time. Not all bad, just not my thing, I can respect it though.
U2
4/5
This is a good album -- I liked what I heard. To me, I don't think this one is going to be memorable overall, but I definitely did not have an unpleasant experience listening to it and would be pleased to hear it again if someone turned it on. It's easy listening music, pleasant, nothing exceptional. I'm happy to have experienced it though.
Linkin Park
4/5
I've never really been into punk/emo, whatever you want to call this. Google informs they are a "rock" band. But this was a really fun listen and it helped me work through some anger that I was feeling this morning. If I had listened to this (and had the capacity to listen to it objectively) as a teenager, I think it could have been an album I listened to regularly. Not so much my vibe these days but you know what, it's something I could still listen to occasionally. You're never too old for Linkin Park. "Crawling" and "In The End" were my standout tracks. Good pick today.
Jane's Addiction
1/5
I listened to the first few songs and had no desire to listen to the rest. Moving on.
The Lemonheads
4/5
Fun, soft, gentle, and cute! I liked this one. My favorites were My Drug Buddy and the cover of Mrs. Robinson.
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
I didn't feel strongly about this album either way, felt like background noise to me, it did not do anything special. Not memorable at all for me. My favorite track was "The Girl Who Wanted to Be God".
The Isley Brothers
4/5
I liked this album, it was a pleasant listen. The lead singer's voice is so smooth and soothing, and this album was funky. It was a fun listen. My favorite track was their cover of "Listen to the Music".
Bonnie Raitt
4/5
Britney Spears
4/5
Is it good? No. Does it stand the test of time? No. Is it fun? Mostly!
I didn't grow up listening to Britney, I was too young. This album came out when I was just 1 year old. Listening to this album today I tried to adopt the mindset of a 13 year old girl in 1999. It's a fun album, but it's not empowering at all, no good values to be found here for teenagers girls. Teaches women to live for love and for men. I guess Britney was never positioned to be a good role model for women...but she was, all the same, and I think that says a lot about the late 90s and early 2000s what kind of role models women had.
I don't know. I'm reading into this too much. It's girly bubbly teen pop. I really liked "Soda Pop", it's a great vibe change and a really fun track. Overall it's a decent album, definitely iconic.
The Go-Betweens
1/5
Repetitive, boring, bad singer. No idea why this was on the list.
Blur
3/5
I liked the first few tracks but it got worse from there. Sad, I really wanted to like this one. 3.5
Rod Stewart
2/5
Cheap Trick
4/5
Fun rock album! My favorites are "Want You to Want Me" and "Surrender". The rest of the album is just fine but these two songs shine through.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
5/5
It's really great. What a classic. I'm going to listen to this a lot more often.
Antony and the Johnsons
4/5
Haunting, personal, beautiful, depressing. This is a great artful album especially after listening to four days of Britpop. I totally understand why this is on the list. It's impactful and is different from anything else I've listened to before.
GZA
1/5
Just literally no desire to listen to this album. It's so not my thing. I'm sure it's good and worthy of being on my list. Just not for me whatsoever.
Guns N' Roses
4/5
I thought this was a really strong album, so many classics. I hesitate to give it 5 stars but it's so close in my eyes. Some songs are a bit grating but this album rocks overall.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
Soul II Soul
2/5
I liked Keep on Moving, it was a strong start, but quickly the album fell apart into bad vocals and repetitive tracks. Not for me.
Cream
3/5
Sunshine of Your Love is really only the song that I enjoyed from this album. It does have a strong cohesive sound and I think it holds up well. But it didn't stand out a lot for me. Decent album, would not mind listening again.
The Cars
2/5
I barely enjoyed listening to this at all. Not my thing.
Stevie Wonder
5/5
I can't believe I haven't heard this album before. I've heard some songs from it before, as they are very popular, but it's unfathomable to me that so many hits spawned from one album. In fact the quality and volume of this album is insane to me. I enjoyed nearly every track on the album. I'm definitely going to listen to some of these songs over and over again, what a powerhouse. Stevie Wonder is an icon.
Spacemen 3
2/5
I really did want to like this one but this album mostly annoyed me. The stand out track for me was So Hot - (Wash Away All Of My Tears). I really love the sound of this song and unfortunately it's found nowhere else on the album.
Based on the first track, I really was hoping that I was in for something special but it ended up being mostly a disappointment.
Giving this album, sadly and as much as I wanted to enjoy it, a 2/5. It hurts.
New Order
4/5
Nice album, easy listen, pleasant, only left a slight impression. Songs kind of blend together but at least it's not a bad sound. My favorite track was "All the Way".
Pearl Jam
5/5
A super strong rock album. It's hard to believe this is their debut, there are so many hits and they have a consistent sound throughout. Fantastic rock through and through. No complaints.
The Who
5/5
No way I got this lucky. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I own this on vinyl and had the pleasure of listening to it twice. Every song is fantastic and about half of the album is comprised of some ofu favorite songs ever. Baba O Reily, Behind Blue Eyes, AND Getting in Tune? What a treat, what an album!
Sufjan Stevens
4/5
At first when I was listening to this I wasn't a huge fan. I thought that this album was long, bloated, and repetitive. It wasn't too novel and each song blends together but it was pleasant and easy to. But after I read how much Stevens read about Illinois to prepare for this album, I realized that that the structure of the album commentary on what it's like living in Illinois, or living in the Midwest in general. Long, repetitive, and it all feels the same. I'm not sure if this is exactly what he was going for but this really helped the album click in my mind.
If you're curious about what I'm talking and what he's doing here, look up Midwest Regionalism studies. Literature, film, and music (or any media) related to the Midwest. Throughout so many works of the Midwest you can find these common themes of longing, dissatisfaction, feeling like an outcast, repetition, and boredom. This is a great entry into that genre, putting to song what Illinois is truly like.
I may not listen to this album a lot front to back but I think I will start listening to Sufjan Stevens more often. Great sound.
Fela Kuti

Seems like a good fun soul/jazz album. Not really my thing regularly but it was a fun groovy listen for today.

Really groovy album, not much to say here but it was solid! I would listen again, I love instrumental rock.
Beatles
4/5
I haven't listened to much of the Beatles. Despite being familiar with their hits, diving into this album was a new journey for me. 'Revolver', with its unique and distinct sounds, truly stands out as a product of its time, and it's hard to believe it came from the 60s. This album showcases The Beatles not just as musicians but as true innovators in the music world.
While I admire the album's originality and the way it broke new ground in the music industry, I find it's not an album I see myself returning to regularly. There are definitely a few tracks that struck a chord with me, and I will be adding them to my regular playlist. Overall, I'd rate 'Revolver' a solid 4 out of 5 (4.5 if I could do half stars). It's a brilliant piece of music history, but for my personal taste, it doesn't quite hit the mark for constant replay. It's a must-listen for understanding the evolution of music.
Pink Floyd

It is a perfect album.
Portishead

Funkadelic
4/5
I really like what I'm hearing here, it's experimental and fun and so interesting to listen to, and I really wanted to give it 5 stars but it just falls short of my arbitrary expectations for a 5 star album. I haven't listened to a lot of Funk or Soul but I know that I'm really open to the genre and I'm just looking for that one album to send me to the moon. This isn't it unfortunately but it's quite close. Just more confirmation that I really like Funk.
My favorite track was Maggot Brain, it is dark, moody, mysterious, yet funky, and not at all what I expecting from the album going into it.
3/5
Not bad, inoffensive and a pleasant listen with some good moments here and there.
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
5/5
I was so surprised by this album. Beautiful, weird, experimental, synth vibes. An unexpected 5 stars.

Elton John

Fun album, I love Tiny Dancer. Indian Sunset is a huge blemish though.
The Fall
1/5
This album has potential, why don't they just fire the singer? What a trainwreck. The rest of the band is out here making great music and then the lead singer sounds like a drunken fool.
Debating between 1 and 2 stars, I'm going to give it 1 star because I was consistently annoyed while listening to the album and I never want to listen to it again. Missed potential for sure. 1.5.
Jeff Beck
3/5
It didn't do much for me but parts of it were okay. Spotify only had half of the album so I could only listen to half of it unfortunately. For the sake of kind of liking it, and because I couldn't finish it to give it a full assessment, I'll give it three stars.
The Mothers Of Invention
4/5
Weird imperfect but charming and fun and different to listen to. I'm not sure if I'll ever listen to it again but this was a nice change of pace I liked it. four stars.

Orbital
3/5
it's so bloopy and blorpy. This is why I wanted to do this project, to hear weird experimental music. Despite enjoying it for it's uniqueness, and I'm glad I listened to it because it was so different, I'm still giving it 3 stars.

Apparently Gilberto died of smoke inhalation saving this album from a fire. A tragic loss of life and tragic that this was the album she died to preserve. The story behind it is more interesting than the album itself which is a pleasant listen but nothing noteworthy.

I love ELO, but this is not my favorite album by them. A lot of their best songs are here but I think the album is bloated a bit. They could remove 5-6 songs entirely and I think it would be a more cohesive album. By the end of it their iconic sound gets weary due to the sheer length of the album. Still, I love ELO. 5 stars.
Bonnie "Prince" Billy

I liked this quite a bit, my favorite track is "I See A Darkness". I'm sad this isn't on Spotify, I'd listen to it a lot more. Pretty good sad boy album!

Eminem

A classic that changed the rap world. Maybe the material is outdated today but the beats go hard and Em is spittin' bars. It's not my favorite Eminem album but what a precedent this sets, what it must have felt like hearing this when it first came out. Eminem is a legend.

I really love Pink Floyd, but of their more "core" albums (Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, Animals) this is the weakest. It's hard for me because there are so many great tracks here. Yet there's a lot of songs that I have a lot of mixed feelings about. Overall I think that the album is bloated and incredible highs but some "meh" lows. I think it will be a rare occasion to listen to the whole album front-to-back and even though I love so many of the songs, as a whole the album isn't cohesive and I will gravitate to one of the Pink Floyd's other works. It's great but flawed to me.

Never heard of this album before. I was a bit surprised by the backlash, I thought a lot of this was great. I generally dislike albums that are over 50 minutes so yeah this one starts to drag a bit but I had a really great time listening to the first few tracks. Fun album! Folksy, rock, psychedelic, orchestral, lots of different sounds to love here. Maybe that's why it's disliked since it's such a grab bag. And maybe that's what I liked about it.

I'd give it a 2.5 but I can't. I'm in a bad mood today so I'm going to round down.
The Black Keys

A nice, easy listen for a Monday morning. Can't stop thinking about the review that said this was made for a FIFA video game soundtrack. I'm still laughing. That's so accurate.

The Louvin Brothers
2/5
Listening to one of these songs was good. Listening to a couple more, started to like it less but I still appreciated the harmonies. And then, as each of the rest of the 16 songs marched on, I started to feel like a prisoner of The Louvin Brothers and grew irritated. Not for me.

3/5
Overall, it's just a little too intense and noisy for me. Some of these songs are really good and surprised me actually. As a whole I think that the production was well executed and their intentions come across clearly. It's just not for everyone, and it's just not for me. Special shout out to Kerosene which is genuinely a great song. That song alone I would give five stars. But overall, the album was kind of a tough listen for me. Very interesting though, I'm glad I had an opportunity to experience it.

Completely dumbfounded by how much I enjoyed this. These songs are ridiculous and genre defying that it shocked me. And a Slim Shady feature to boot. It may be trashy but it's really fun to listen to. so many albums on this list I have no thoughts or feelings about and they pass by with no enjoyment and I still give it three stars. In contrast I found myself having a really good time listening to this one.

Some of these tracks are true classics and it was a joy to listen to. Other parts of the album drag on a bit and some of the tracks I'm not a huge fan of. The tracks that work really work for me but there are a few skips in there too that bring it down a star.

A challenging album to listen to, Duck Stab/Buster & Glen might be one of the most interesting albums on this list. I’ve never heard anything like it before, and that’s one of the reasons I started this list. Experimental rock that breaks all the rules of music including sounding good and having comprehensible lyrics. Which translates to 35 minutes of weird noises. God, now this is Punk music. Its short length helps a lot and on Spotify there are a lot of bonus tracks and different versions of the songs with better production. Quite thought-provoking and I’m glad it’s on the list but I don’t think it’s something I want to spend any more time with. I’m here for the weird shit and I’m glad this exists.

Could not finish this album. Every song sounds exactly the same, with poor mixing and ass vocals. Not to mention the 70 minute length. Hard pass. I'd heard everything this album has to offer after listening to three songs, and it's not much.
