En-Tact by The Shamen

Human NRG sounds a little like video game music, so I wanted to like it, but the overall vibe of the album is just not for me.

Transformer by Lou Reed

Sheer Heart Attack by Queen

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp

Reminds me a little bit of Imelda May. Very chill, with a retro feel. I like it.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera

This one has some nostalgia bias from me, but I still love it.

Who's Next by The Who

I really like The Who, but I don't personally think this is their best album, besides Behind Blue Eyes.

In Rainbows by Radiohead

Definitely Maybe by Oasis

On paper, I should love this, but... i just don't.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth

This is mostly just random noise and it gave me anxiety.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce

The singer's voice is really annoying.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder

1000% yes, this is what I've been waiting for. So glad to sit and give this one a listen, I haven't heard the whole album in one go before and loved every minute. Albums like this are why 1001 albums is wonderful.

Moondance by Van Morrison

Make Yourself by Incubus

This may be a bias rating because I used to play this album over and over again, but it feels like an obvious 5 to me. The whole album is already in my music library, and they're just as good now as they were then.

Celebrity Skin by Hole

I love the title song, because it's nostalgic, but honestly, the rest of the album is just kind of... eh.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

I like the jam sessions, but it doesn't feel like a "must listen" album, even though I really like The Allman Brothers' sound.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Yeah, I tried... I really did. This gave me anxiety.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel

I find it hard to keep a straight face while trying to listen to this... he's so... spirited?

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

I liked the first three tracks, but the last one is not for me.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs by Marty Robbins

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu

Random noise

The Man Who by Travis

The Wildest! by Louis Prima

Now THIS is a 5-star album!!!

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

White Light by Gene Clark

Eh... kind of boring. Okay for chill background music, but nothing special.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.

ICONIC

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers

Guero by Beck

Let's Stay Together by Al Green

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis

Very annoying.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

Kenya by Machito

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo by Devo

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

This was one of my absolute favorite albums of all time when it came out, and I still adore it. This may be a nostalgia vote, but it gets 5 stars from me. Every single song is amazing.

Nighthawks At The Diner by Tom Waits

No Other by Gene Clark

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar

Protection by Massive Attack

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos

I missed this one growing up, as I was more into rock at the time, but I love everything about this. The piano, her voice, the 80's structure and sound... all of it is perfection!

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy

British Steel by Judas Priest

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Horses by Patti Smith

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot

The screamo is not for me.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest

Homework by Daft Punk

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) by The Kinks

I like some stuff by The Kinks, but this album is kind of annoying, tbh. Especially "Drivin'"... it's grating. Not to mention, half the songs sound exactly the same. Not for me.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain

The songs themselves sound nice... but it's like I'm trying to listen to something I might like, but someone keeps being obnoxious and covering it up with horrible noise, so I can't even hear what's underneath. I guess that was the point, but... it's not for me.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams

Her voice is just... kind of annoying, and the songs sound too repetitive for too long. Can't do it. DNF.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause

(Listened on YouTube). Sounds like the soundtrack to a German musical play. Not that that's bad in itself... I honestly can't figure out how I feel about this. Like, it's kind of fun and oddly comforting, but it's also just... weird? xD Idk... I THINK I like it? My first instinct is to give it 3 stars because I'm so hot and cold on it, but because it has me so confused about how I feel... I think that deserves a bump to 4. xD

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane

The Renaissance by Q-Tip

I like this, it sounds like it came from the early to mid 90's, instead of 2008. I'm glad he stuck with that sound instead of trying to modernize it.

Mask by Bauhaus

Cloud Nine by The Temptations

You're goddamn right!!!

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly

Frank by Amy Winehouse

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.

Definitely "ran away" from Albatross about halfway through. The sound of the rest gives me a bit of Talking Heads vibes but just... not as good? I'm not sure, I can appreciate the music, and the style of vocals, but I just think the vocals weren't done well enough to work. It quickly just becomes annoying. This is a shame too, because the music without the vocals is quite good. Fav track: Poptones Least fav: Albatross 2.5/5

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement

Some of it isn't bad, but some of it is just too annoying, and brings the whole album down. (Looking at you, Conduit for Sale!)

Tidal by Fiona Apple

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space by Spiritualized

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul

More Songs About Buildings And Food by Talking Heads

The Joshua Tree by U2

Night Life by Ray Price

3.5 - not a fan of country, in general, but I find the older it is, the more likely I am to enjoy it.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth

Some of the songs are not nearly as obnoxious as everything else I've heard from Sonic Youth, but they aren't enough to save this album.

Automatic For The People by R.E.M.

Imagine by John Lennon

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers

Kenza by Khaled

California by American Music Club

Wild Wood by Paul Weller

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line

Usually I don't like the "noisy" type grunge, but this was a good balance, and I enjoyed it.

If I Could Only Remember My Name by David Crosby

The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem

So... like everyone else, I thought this album was great as a tween when it came out. Thing is... we grow, we learn, we gain perspective. It's not a good album.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks

On The Beach by Neil Young

not really a fan of his voice

Hotel California by Eagles

This one is a no-brainer for me. One of my favs.

One World by John Martyn

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

A Northern Soul by The Verve

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

I really like some of the songs; I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor has been in my library for a couple years. However, a full album of this sound grates a little, as I'm not usually too into the punk/grunge style. They do a pretty good job at not just being pure noise the whole time, though. 3/5

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver

the album itself isn't bad, but there's a constant, repetitive beat under every song that just gives me a headache after a bit. Individually, I did enjoy some of the songs, though. 3/5

Want One by Rufus Wainwright

The backing beat on "Oh What a World" reminds me of the title music in the game Papers, Please, which is kind of fun. The album kind of sounds like the soundtrack to an on-stage musical play. Is that a bad thing? I'm really not sure. I don't hate it, but... I also don't think I particularly like it, either. His voice can be quite irritating, especially in "Pretty Things". Best track: Go or Go Ahead Worst track: Pretty Things 2/5

Green by R.E.M.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory by Oasis

L.A. Woman by The Doors

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

The Libertines by The Libertines

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas

some of it sounded like the music that would be playing in a nightclub in a video game, which i thought was pretty cool, but then some of it was kind of annoying...

The Stranger by Billy Joel

Live At The Harlem Square Club by Sam Cooke

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Basket of Light by Pentangle

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan

Hunky Dory by David Bowie

Easiest 5-star on the list

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco

Survivor by Destiny's Child

Destiny's Child were iconic, obvi, but after "Nasty Girl" I got the ick big time... It's definitely a product of it's time, but recovering from that cringe was a tough one on this album. Kind of brings the bopping to a screeching halt, and never recovers. 2.5/5

Bossanova by Pixies

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis

Black Metal by Venom

xx by The xx

Master Of Puppets by Metallica

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

Van Halen by Van Halen

Can't fight the nostalgia rating on this one. <3

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers

🤢

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

This one surprised me. I really like it. Especially the jazzy parts. Also, the song People has a nice funk to it, while Like Fire gets a bit country. It's an interesting blend of styles, but still cohesive. You really don't know what to expect next, and I love that. Ending with Tall in the Saddle was fun fun fun! Fav tracks: Down to Zero, Love and Affection, Join the Boys, Tall in the Saddle Least fav track: Save Me

Oracular Spectacular by MGMT

It's interesting, I like it. 3.5/5

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys

The Next Day by David Bowie

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies

A LOOOTTT of this album is just... super annoying to me. Like a cosplay or parody of other, better musicians.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex

Hell yeah, love this one.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Zombie by Fela Kuti

It was interesting to see this album after I'd already rated his son's album not that long ago. I loved that one, so I expected to love this one too. I do like this one, and I did enjoy it, but I think his son, Femi Kuti, has a style I vibe with a little more.

Modern Life Is Rubbish by Blur

Blur by Blur

1977 by Ash

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Vivid by Living Colour

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine

noise, just noise

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.

Country Life by Roxy Music

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl

I like her voice, and most of the chill music, but there's all this random drum and base thrown in, which I hate, and I think it ruins what could be a really nice and relaxing album.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen

Pink Flag by Wire

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós

So very beautiful and peaceful. Reminds me of Low Roar and Woodkid - some of these would fit right in to the Death Stranding soundtracks. 5/5

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention

Sound Affects by The Jam

Crazysexycool by TLC

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I do love music that heavily features piano. This album is gentle, and his voice is lovely.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde by The Pharcyde

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz

Very by Pet Shop Boys

A lot of this album is quite good, but I did not enjoy the dance-electronica vibes of some of the songs. It would be a 4 without them.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis

Pretty chill album, didn't like the western twang of Sweet Thang, but the rest was nice.

Lost Souls by Doves

I Should Coco by Supergrass

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

Melodrama by Lorde

Hard Again by Muddy Waters

I like blues sometimes, but this one is very repetitive... it's fine background music, but it's just not very engaging.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues

eh... i'm sure it has a time and place, but this isn't it for me.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta

Rust In Peace by Megadeth

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp

Leftism by Leftfield

B-52's by The B-52's

Not a fan of Dance This Mess Around, but Rock Lobster is one of my favorites. Overall, the album is exactly the kind of strange, silly fun I expect from The B-52s.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto

Beautiful.

Maxinquaye by Tricky

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche by Koffi Olomide

Disintegration by The Cure

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black by Public Enemy

m b v by My Bloody Valentine

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu

The Poet by Bobby Womack

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Definitely not a Neil Young fan, most of his albums here I've rated a 2, except for Harvest, which got a 3. The music itself would give this album a 3 or even 4 from me, but Neil's voice ruins everything. Another 2 star from me.

Dry by PJ Harvey

Abraxas by Santana

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Welcome to the Afterfuture by Mike Ladd

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone

Didn't like the yodeling on Spaced Cowboy, but the rest of it was great.

Nixon by Lambchop

I've never heard of Chamber Pop before, but I think I love it. This is so chill. I think it would be 5 stars if not for some of the twangy country vibes that I'm not a huge fan of. 4/5

The Visitors by ABBA

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail by Buck Owens

There are songs similar to this that I have nostalgia for because my grandfather had them on a jukebox when I was a kid, and they were silly... I have no such nostalgia for these songs, and so I find it hard to even tolerate them. Definitely not for me.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees

Follow The Leader by Korn

I have nostalgia for Freak on a Leash, but the rest of the album is hard to listen to...

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys

Some of this I love, some of it I absolutely hate. Sometimes one song has bits I love and bits I hate... that makes it hard to rate.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter

Earthquake is unexpectedly beautiful, and sets the tone for the whole album, which was really beautiful. Reminds me of Low Roar a little bit. I like it.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

gives me a headache...

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah

It's still got that 90s feel to it, which I love for this genre. Dude is slick.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

I like Led Zeppelin, and I really liked Good Times Bad Times, but the rest of the album isn't as good as their later stuff. Like someone else here said, it feels more like a jam session than fully thought out individual songs.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You by Aretha Franklin

Strangeways, Here We Come by The Smiths

...And Justice For All by Metallica

Vespertine by Björk

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

It's okay, but it's a bit boring and a bit long. Fine for background music, though.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour

Immigres/Bitim Rew was fun, Pitche Mi is very chill, with a nice jazzy vibe, and after I was ready to give this album 4 stars. Taaw started to grate a little, and by the time I got to Badou I was kind of over it, so I think smaller doses of this album at a time would have been easier. 3.3/5

Smash by The Offspring

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane

This is quintessential 60s psychedelic rock. Somebody to Love and White Rabbit alone, would net this album a 5-star rating. 4.8 just because it would have benefited from more Grace singing, rounded up to 5.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Not a fan of live albums, but Lord, am I obsessed with her voice. 100/10

Close To The Edge by Yes

Vulnicura by Björk

I don't think I'll ever "get" Bjork. Just not for me, I guess.

Paris 1919 by John Cale

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino

hell yeah!

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen

This dude gives me the ick...

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten

I imagine if I had a fever dream where I was walking through actual Hell, trying every door in a panic, this would be the soundtrack. Maybe that's your thing, but I like actual music. This is stressing me out... I feel like I can SEE this album as it plays, like a Halloween Horror Nights haunted house walkthrough. Sure, it would make a perfect soundtrack for a hell house, but as a listenable album? No. Giving it 2 instead of 1, just because I can so vividly SEE the horror this shit would be backing...

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon

It's okay background music, doesn't really hold my attention, though.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans

Low-Life by New Order

I like the second half of the album better than the first half, but overall, quite a good album.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz

It's a nostalgia bias, but I love it.

Bummed by Happy Mondays

Truly dumb...

Let It Be by The Replacements

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention

It's a bit too country for me... not a fan.

Funeral by Arcade Fire

It's chill, I like it.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.

I like grunge, but not a fan of noise rock, usually... this one is kind of in between the two, which makes it hard to rate. I think if it wasn't quite as noisy, I would have given it a 4, but overall, I think it's a 3.4.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits

I would give it a 5 just for Sultans, but the rest of the songs are like a 3, so the album gets a 4.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods

There are parts of this that are super interesting, but the dude's voice isn't one of them. Makes me think of a random drunk dude getting all in my space being gross... gave me the ick. The rest is like a horror movie soundtrack, which isn't necessarily bad, but not really good for active listening. 1.8, rounded to 2.

Live At Leeds by The Who

Really not a fan of live albums. I really thought I liked The Who more than I apparently do, because I haven't given any of their albums here more than a 3. I think they just have some REALLY good songs that I love, but they also have a lot of filler that doesn't really stand out. Young Man Blues - 4 Substitute - 3 Summertime Blues - 3 Shakin' All Over - 3.5 My Generation - 3.5 (I love this song, but less so live, and it just goes on for way too long) Magic Bus - 2.8 3.2

Shadowland by k.d. lang

i really dislike country music

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers

Cut by The Slits

Not into punk, but I'm bumping it up from 1 to 2 stars just because it's women, and we need a lot more of that on this list. Really hated the screaming on Shoplifting, though. Fav Track: Instant Hit

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

I can't help but enjoy Beastie Boys... they're always so much fun. This album is definitely my fav of theirs, that I've heard.

Odelay by Beck

The Rise & Fall by Madness

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry

McCartney by Paul McCartney

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales

Soft Machine was cool, Damaged People wasn't terrible, but the rest of this album is just annoying, like the majority of electronic music in general. 2/5

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys

Like A Prayer by Madonna

I LOVE 80s/90s Madonna. Easy 5 star for me.

Violator by Depeche Mode

Sulk by The Associates

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues

The Slider by T. Rex

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite by Maxwell

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of... by Arrested Development

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

I like Jazz, and I like Miles Davis.... but, man does this cacophony of noise make my head hurt. Sounds more like a whole album of them warming up/tuning their instruments.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones

I would have given this 5 for Sympathy for The Devil, but after that, it kinda derails into annoying country, which I don't love. Street Fighting Man was fine, then right back to the annoying.

Vulgar Display Of Power by Pantera

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt

I would have given this album 5 stars, but there's a lot of bluegrass/country influence throughout, which I don't like. The rest of the songs are really good though, and her voice is gorgeous!

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix

The Real Thing by Faith No More

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse

Goo by Sonic Youth

I hated Sonic Youth's older albums, but this one isn't so bad. Less full on punk, which makes it more tolerable for me.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

Rocks by Aerosmith

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada

Has a pretty chill lofi feeling throughout, which is pretty much the only electronic music I don't hate. Mostly good background music for doing other things, but there are still a lot of drum and base feeling songs, which give me a headache, so... eh. 2/5

Eliminator by ZZ Top

Instant 5-star rating! I love this album!!

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

Achtung Baby by U2

Sunshine Superman by Donovan

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy

1/5 this is just not for me.
