3/5
Not bad, but didn’t really get me excited. Not annoying though.

Nirvana
5/5
I still remember hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit the first time listening to the Alternative show out of Daytona Beach on a Sunday night. Anybody who says this record is overrated hated music.

Yeah, maybe on a different day this could’ve gotten 3 stars. Just could not vibe with it.

Amy Winehouse
3/5
The first couple songs stand out, the rest kind of blend together. Her voice is unique and interesting and fun to listen to. The music itself kind of blends together for me. I would add a couple songs to my playlist, but would probably not seek out listening the album, more just let it play if I was in the mood for it when it popped up.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
Great album with no skip tracks. Excellent album with lots of classic songs.
Al Green
4/5
When this album goes on it’s time for the kids to go to bed.
Very good album, fun to listen to.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Some good new songs, not totally my vibe for listening to Bob.
The White Stripes
4/5
Solid record, picked up a few more songs.
Van Halen
3/5
The songs I already knew were good. The rest were ok, but did not really do much for me.
Bob Dylan
2/5
So, I added a couple songs, but could only really listen to this one twice. The songs meander too much and just sound like Bob just saying random stuff and trying to make it sound musical.
Brian Eno
4/5
Fun record, took a few listens to get into it. It’s very different and interesting.
Ice T
3/5
I made it through the album. It’s not totally my style, but I liked a few songs.

Some of the music was ok, the voice on several songs just was not tolerable. I only made it through one time.
Queen
5/5
Great record. Fun to listen to from start to finish.

5/5
Not my go-to for REM, but good record overall.

5/5
One of my favorite from U2

Public Image Ltd.
4/5
So, some is not easy to listen to, but other parts are. Very interesting record.

ZZ Top

4/5
Good, just not quite a 5, maybe 4.49.

Good record, some skip tracks

5/5
No skips, solid record
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Good tunes, not totally my style. Higher Ground is a classic
Billy Joel
2/5
While I’ve liked some Billy Joel songs here and there, I now understand why Anthony Bourdain banned Billy from his restaurants. Some of the songs have done catchiness, but I really couldn’t listen to this more than once. It’s like elevator music, but annoying. Honestly, the elevator version of this album is probably better.
Talking Heads
4/5
Solid record.
Norah Jones
4/5
Nice record to start the year. Not totally my style, but I still enjoyed listening to it and can see myself giving it a spin in the future.

Good record, not my style, but pleasantly surprised.

3/5
Pleasant, not amazing.
KISS
4/5
Good fun, better than I would have expected.

3/5
Some good stuff, but probably wouldn’t listen to much.
Eminem
4/5
Decent record

1/5
So some good elements here and there, but really could not get this record. I couldn’t wait to move on.

4/5
Pretty good, had some punkiness
CHIC
3/5

3/5
Good songs, deserves to be on the list. I probably wouldn’t listen to the album much, but it’s got some solid songs.

3/5
This almost got 1 star based on the first couple songs. Still not my thing, but it got better.

Not necessarily a lot of stand out tracks, I added a couple, but a good listen. The songs were pretty diverse.

Oasis
2/5
So, bland. Not the worst, but I was glad to be done with this one.
Adele
4/5
Overall really solid
Jeff Beck
3/5

Django Django
3/5
Music was good, the singing not bad, but did not really fit the music.
Blue Cheer
1/5
Maybe this sounded cool back in th day, but it doesn’t hold up.
Beastie Boys
3/5
I like some songs and I’ve owned this album in the past, but I can’t really see myself listening to it. I may listen a couple tracks, but even a low probability of that unless they come up on random. I know it’s a classic.
Radiohead
3/5
I may need to give this another listen, I started getting into it the second time around, but didn’t get too far. After one listen, it wasn’t my thing.

It’s The Beatles and the music is good, but not their best stuff.
Joan Armatrading
3/5
Good, I got into it some, but totally my thing.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Nice record. Super annoying to be able to listen to it. Thank you Joe Rogan, you did not live up to your promise to have more voices on your podcast to counter the Covid conspiracy stuff. Got stick listening to this on YouTube, lame.

Good music, fun to listen to.

Great record

3/5
Rockin from start to finish
Black Sabbath
4/5
Prefer Paranoid, but solid record. The cover is pretty cool.
Prince
4/5
Solid record, not my style. U Got the Look is a clear stand out. Each song is unique, no stale or flat spots in my opinion.
Public Image Ltd.
5/5
This shit is ground breaking and interesting. I didn’t love every track, but overall it’s so good it can only get 5 stars. I would totally buy this on vinyl.
Snoop Dogg
4/5
Pleasantly surprised. Nice record. Still holds up and sounds fresh.
Kendrick Lamar
4/5
Great record. Rap is not my thing, but so far not a single bad rap album.

4/5
This rocked. Really coming to a better appreciation for rap. I could definitely get this on vinyl.

Franz Ferdinand
4/5
Lots of good songs. Not quite a 5, but really liked it.

5/5
I still remember hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit the first time listening to the Alternative show out of Daytona Beach on a Sunday night. Anybody who says this record is overrated hated music.

1/5
Ok, how does this band have two records on this list. I just can’t get it.
Mercury Rev
3/5
Not bad, but didn’t really get me excited. Not annoying though.
Deep Purple
4/5
Good music, knew of them, but hadn’t really heard them.
AC/DC
5/5
It’s a classic. I was already familiar with a few songs it was consistent all the way through without getting stale. It’s the kind of music that requires the right time and the right place, that being any time and any place.
David Bowie
3/5
A couple good songs, but some just sounds like music from a 70’s porno
4/5
Good stuff, nothing stale.
Elliott Smith
3/5
Not bad, had a good vibe. I could listen again, but would need to be in the mood.
The Black Keys
3/5
Coulda been 4, but that Howlin For You song is so annoying. It needs to be dragged out in the snow and shot then thrown into a woodchipper.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Another classic
Slipknot
4/5
Pretty good. Nothing bad on the record. I like heavy, not totally up my alley, but definitely a good listen.

3/5
Good, but I like other chemical brothers stuff better
Cypress Hill
3/5
Least favorite rap album so far, not bad but didn’t match the others I’ve had so far.

3/5
As much as I wanted yo like it, I just couldn’t. It’s not terrible, just not into it.
Sigur Rós
3/5
Better than I expected. Very different there in Iceland
Randy Newman
3/5
Pretty good, fun listen. Took me too long to realize it’s the dude that sang the Monk theme song.
Culture Club
4/5
While I personally wouldn’t listen to this on my own, it’s a pretty solid record. No filler. I almost went with 3 stars, but it really had to be a 4.
Elbow
3/5
Not bad.
Foo Fighters
3/5
Nothing against Dave Grohl, but to me this is kind of generic rock music. It’s not bad, but just not super interesting to me.
Run-D.M.C.
4/5
Solid
The Only Ones
2/5
Not all that thrilling.
Big Black
5/5
I mean, FUCK YEAH!!!
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
3/5
Great sounds, not my style. Totally respect the music though.
Gorillaz
3/5
Mostly pretty good. Just didn’t totally excite me.
Metallica
4/5
I liked it. Not quite a five.
3/5
Better than the last Dylan record I got. I found it hard to pay attention to his 10-minute long songs. I can list to a long song, Rush has done great ones, but these were pretty hard to get through. The guy still sounds like a homeless guy rambling and blowing a harmonica with his nose on occasion.
Muddy Waters
4/5
Good stuff
Iron Butterfly
3/5
Not terrible, some descent stuff, maybe I would have loved it when it came out.
Kate Bush

Solid

3/5

3/5
Didn’t really grab me, but not terrible.
Alice In Chains
3/5
Good songs,but couldn’t get into a decent chunk of it.
Billie Holiday
3/5
Not bad, but I think this music makes all the songs sound too similar.
Jerry Lee Lewis
5/5
I can’t believe this is only 22 minutes. Not a dull moment.
Animal Collective
3/5
Not too bad. Had a good vibe, not sure I had to hear this before I died, but not complaining.

4/5
Pretty good, I like this better than the other Miles Davis album.
The Doors
5/5
Great stuff. Lots of solid tracks.
Stephen Stills
3/5
It got better as the album progressed. Not m style.

4/5
More interesting than the other Bowie records I’ve had.
ABBA
3/5
A few good songs, but definitely some filler.
Jefferson Airplane
4/5
This music holds up and Grace Slick has such an amazing voice.
Tom Waits
4/5
Interesting, better than the other Tom Waits record I got. If I came across this at a record store, 50/50 shot I might buy it.
Eagles
2/5
Look, there are two good songs on this record. The rest is just boring. I’m astounded this album sold so many copies. I’m not an Eagles hater, I do like some of their music. I just don’t get the high level of hype. The title track is a classic.
OutKast
4/5
Good stuff.
Hawkwind
4/5
I can’t really see myself listening to this again. The music is good, but for me the epic format isn’t appealing. While I wouldn’t go back and listen on my own, I do think the music is good and I was jamming to it. Even at 2 hrs it was easy to get through the album.
Tom Waits
4/5
Pretty good, and interesting
Lambchop
2/5
Most of this sounded like dentist office music. Not appealing at all.
Beck
3/5
Interesting, but not my jam.
Stan Getz
3/5
Pretty fun listen. Not my first choice, but all good.
Guided By Voices
3/5

4/5
Decent. Didn’t blow me away, but nothing bad about the record.

4/5
Good stuff.
Erykah Badu
5/5
Pretty sweet record.
David Bowie
4/5
Pretty good, but not ground breaking.

Prince
4/5
Overall pretty good. Got some classics.
Milton Nascimento
4/5
Good music, nice to have something totally different on the list.
The Temptations
4/5
Great music, no real low points and I could definitely groove to it. Some of it didn’t quite grab me, but still liked it a lot.
Kings of Leon
4/5
Good overall, one song was flat, can’t recall which one.
Miriam Makeba
4/5
Cool, nice to hear something so different from that era.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Good music

4/5

Talvin Singh
4/5
Very good. Has a nice vibe.
TV On The Radio
3/5
Very good. A couple songs stood out

Santana
3/5
Some classics. Good vibe, would maybe listen if in the mood.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Not amazing, but not terrible. I don’t really get it, but it’s not grating.
Germs
3/5
Part of me wanted to give this 4 stars. It is good and I love the punk sound. Still the music isn’t very diverse from song to song. I think it’s a great vibe and musically important, but I would prefer other punk music.
The Thrills
3/5
Not bad, but not my vibe.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
A few good songs. Not totally into it, but not bad.

It’s like meditation music

Metallica
4/5
Another good record from Metallica.
The Velvet Underground
4/5
This record has some clear classics. It’s transcends its time for sure. I wasn’t into every single song, but still really solid record. Lou Reed is a master.

Wu-Tang Clan
4/5
Fun raps.
Beck
3/5
So, I like some of Beck’s songs. I just don’t get the critical acclaim. I think his sound was definitely unique in the 90’s, so I get that. A lot of lyrics just seem like nonsense words, so not really a cohesive song with a meaning. Musically it’s good, but lyrically I can’t make sense of it. I’m a rube, lol.
3/5
Nice vibe, very chill. I like that it’s different from a lot of other stuff.

3/5
Not bad, but not as interesting as other rap albums on the list.

Radiohead
4/5
Music is good, kind of blends song to song.
The Smashing Pumpkins
3/5
I never really got into the Smashing Pumkins. I tried back in the day. I even bought Siamese Dream, but really couldn’t do it. The music on this record is actually really good. It’s Billy Corgan’s voice that just pushes me away. I get into a song, then he starts singing.

4/5
Fun listen. No bad songs.
Elvis Presley
3/5
Pleasant, but not that interesting.
Alice Cooper
3/5
Pretty fun, but not totally into it.
Joy Division
5/5
Classic with no skips.

4/5
Solid record. I like her style.
Machito
4/5
Very fun music
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Music is good. Some is low energy, but great harmonizing.

4/5
Solid record.
LTJ Bukem
2/5
There’s a lot of music, and after listening for hours I’m still not sure I heard the actual album that’s on the list. I tried Spotify, but apparently that’s wrong. YouTube maybe has the album, but with tracks deleted. No matter what. It’s way too much of the same.
Justice
4/5
Very fun record

5/5
I’ll give this a 5. Really good.
The Sabres Of Paradise
3/5
Not bad, not amazing. Definitely interesting to listen to.

4/5
Solid record. A couple classics on it. The Maid song is a little weird.
Justin Timberlake
3/5
Decent voice. Lots fo filler songs. A couple decent songs. Overall, I can’t believe this sold so many records.

Dr. Octagon
4/5
Interesting, different rap.

4/5
Pretty good, toook some time to warm up to it, but was pretty good.

Yeah, this was fun. More relevant today than when it came out.

Sugar
3/5
Not bad, just didn’t really stand out to me.

The Cure
4/5
Good record, not totally into The Cute, but they put out pretty decent music.

Ain’t no Way this record can get less than 5 stars. It’s the voice. Literally nothing bad here. Not my personal preference, but no denying this is a great record.
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
As much as I would like to give more stars to Pet Shop Boys, this album is kind of boring. A couple good tracked. I much prefer other records.
Queen
4/5
Can’t really complain when it’s Queen. Very good, but not quite a 5.

Took a little to get into. Definitely think the second have is better.
The Beach Boys
4/5
Great harmonies. No bad songs, but some are off the charts good.
Frank Sinatra
3/5
Frank has a great voice. It really is hard to listen to this fairly. I hear him sing and I just think Christmas music. It does almost seem like the music and the singing aren’t connected, like anything could be playing in the background.
Belle & Sebastian
4/5
Interesting and chill
Jack White
4/5
Jack White is always solid. He’s got his own style and really puts out interesting stuff. Can’t not look when he’s playing .

Interesting, but didn’t blow me away.

4/5
Solid record.
3/5

Beth Orton
4/5

Thought about a 4, but not quite there. Still pretty interesting.

5/5
Yeah, nothing bad here. True classic.

4/5
Overall really good. I only knew one song before listening.
Ian Dury
4/5
Pretty fun, not what I was expecting, but lots of fun.
Steely Dan
3/5
The music was good. I probably would go seek it out, but overall I enjoyed the music. I can at least understand why it gets posted on r/vinyl on a regular basis.
Nitin Sawhney
3/5
Pleasant, not amazing.
Iggy Pop
4/5
Classic
Ella Fitzgerald
4/5
That was a lot of music. I would say it holds up pretty good start to finish. Took multiple days to get through it.

Lupe Fiasco
4/5

The xx
3/5
Music is good the singing is fine, not intriguing to me for the most part. Good vibe though.
Deee-Lite
3/5
So, I kind of had slightly higher expectations. In high school I didn’t dig the or their style, but as I’ve matured I recognize Groove is in the Heart as a genuinely good song. I was hoping for more on that level. It’s not bad, but not quite what was hoping for. Still glad I listened to it.
Fugazi
4/5
It’s good, clear foundation of 90’s alternative.
Scott Walker
4/5

There some ok stuff on here, but it just felt kind of disjointed and random. I like The Beach Boys, but I couldn’t really get into this.

Pretty solid. Good variety of tunes.

Robbie Williams
3/5

Rufus Wainwright
3/5
First two tracks and the last one were great, the rest just didn’t do much for me. Rufus does have a great voice.

I expected this to be cowboy songs for kids, which was initially disappointing. Now I wish that’s what it was.
