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.
Van Morrison

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.

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

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.
The Jesus And Mary Chain
2/5
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.
Lucinda Williams
1/5
Her voice is just... kind of annoying, and the songs sound too repetitive for too long. Can't do it. DNF.
Dagmar Krause
4/5
(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
John Coltrane

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.

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

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
Rufus Wainwright
2/5
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".

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!

Everything But The Girl
2/5
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.
Leonard Cohen

Wire
4/5
Sigur Rós
5/5
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

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

Stan Getz

Pet Shop Boys
3/5
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.
Shuggie Otis

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

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

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.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
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.

Lambchop
4/5
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
ABBA
4/5
Buck Owens
1/5
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.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
3/5
Korn
2/5
I have nostalgia for Freak on a Leash, but the rest of the album is hard to listen to...
The Boo Radleys
3/5
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.
Deerhunter
4/5
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.

It's still got that 90s feel to it, which I love for this genre. Dude is slick.
Led Zeppelin
3/5
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.
Herbie Hancock

It's okay, but it's a bit boring and a bit long. Fine for background music, though.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
4/5
Youssou N'Dour
3/5
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
The Offspring
5/5
Jefferson Airplane
5/5
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.
Sarah Vaughan
5/5
Not a fan of live albums, but Lord, am I obsessed with her voice. 100/10
3/5
Björk
2/5
I don't think I'll ever "get" Bjork. Just not for me, I guess.
John Cale

Leonard Cohen
2/5
This dude gives me the ick...
Einstürzende Neubauten
2/5
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...
Kings of Leon
3/5
It's okay background music, doesn't really hold my attention, though.
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
Marvin Gaye

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

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

2/5
Fairport Convention
2/5
It's a bit too country for me... not a fan.
Arcade Fire
4/5
It's chill, I like it.
Dinosaur Jr.
3/5
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
4/5
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.
The Young Gods
2/5
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.
The Who
3/5
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

The Louvin Brothers
1/5
The Slits
2/5
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
Beastie Boys
5/5
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.

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
3/5
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
Gotan Project
2/5
The Rolling Stones
2/5
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.

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!

David Bowie

Aerosmith
4/5
Boards of Canada
2/5
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
