1001 Albums Summary

While some bits were quite good, others were somewhat boring. 3/5: acceptable

#2. My first thought is this would probably be best viewed through a nostalgic lens. I can imagine someone born in 2006 or so listening to this in like 2040 saying things like "Why isn't music like this anymore?" and "I wonder whatever happened to her?" or "Those were the days." I on the other hand, am a 30 or 40 year old man listening to it for the first time and all I can really think to say is "This isn't for me." It's decent as background music, but when you actually listen you realize it's just kinda ok at best. It's giving mid, no cap. Or whatever it is the kids say these days. 3/5: acceptable

#3. I don't really understand reggae as a whole. At best I find it tedious, and at worst I find it annoying. While there may be an reggae album out there to change my mind, this one wasn't the one. At least twice while listening to this album I found myself zoning out and then thinking "damn, this isn't over yet?" when I realized it. There isn't really a single song on this album that caught my interest. 2/5: meh

Neil Young has a lot of good songs and a bunch of good albums as well, but I do not think this one rates among his best. I guess when you make something in the direction of 50 albums, they can't all be bangers. This one started out alright, but got less interesting as it went along. I felt like it was about a 2.5, but thats not an option and I couldn't decide which one to go with so I flipped a coin and gave it a 3/5: acceptable

#5. This album was a little bit of everything. A little bit of Bowie, a little bit of Holly, a little bit of the Beatles... Their influences were obvious. A little of this, a little of that. The only thing I didn't notice was that little bit of whatever it is that makes music interesting. I know not every album has to be some genre defining masterpiece, sometimes they just gotta be a little bit fun. And personally I don't think that album is that, so it only gets a little bit of stars from me. 2/5: meh

#6. To be honest, I had kinda assumed I would go my lifetime without hearing what Björk actually sounded like. And I'm not entirely sure that I'm better off for knowing. I listened to this in the car, and the woman at the drive thru window had an "oh, my" look on her face when Björk started doing her Yoko Ono shrieks on Birthday, and for the most part I agree even though I think that's the best song on the album. I know Europeans have weird taste in music, but even still I'm not sure who this is for. 2/5: meh

#7. This was the first one so far that I hadn't heard that I actually liked. I have no idea what exactly they were singing about, but they convinced me anyway. It has all the things you need in fun quirky music, and now I'm gonna go find a smoky cantina to drink some tasty rum drinks in and you can't stop me. 4/5: fantastic

#8. I had never heard of this before, and now I guess I know why. I honestly have no idea why this would possibly be on a list of 1001 albums that should be listened to, except for maybe to learn the lesson that you can't truly appreciate the good without experiencing the bad. I can imagine some Mumford and Son hipster twirling his mustache and telling his friends about this over a warm IPA, but for me it gets a nope out of ten. The girl's voice is good, but when the best part of your album is a handful of pretty weak covers, I simply cannot find a way to be even a little bit interested. 1/5: terrible

#9. This one was pretty generic British guitar pop. Fine, but ultimately forgettable. 3/5: acceptable

#10. Pretty good overall, but it suffers from entirely too many harmonica solos. 3/5: acceptable

#11. I have heard of Tracy Chapman before, but never actually listened to her music. It started out slow, but picked up a bit in the middle. This Lilith Fair kinda music isn't my really my jam, but I thought it was decent overall. 3/5: acceptable

12. It's exactly what you'd expect from a Talking Heads album. 1 or 2 good songs accompanied by a lot of weird. 2/5: meh

#13. With a walking cringe factory like Alice Cooper that is seemingly unaware that we're laughing at him and not with him, you'd think this album would be worse. I want to give it one star. I want to hate it. But this album isn't interesting enough to elicit any emotion anywhere near hate. The only thing it generates in me is disinterest. It's just generic boring 70s radio rock. If you cut the volume way down and pretend you don't speak English, it's almost good as background noise. Almost. This album is just... lame. And not offensively lame, just boringly lame. The best this album could hope for is to be quietly forgotten 2/5 meh

#14. This one was pretty good, but not the kind of thing that I'd listen to regularly. 3/5: acceptable

#15. This is exactly the amount of cheesy over the top bullshit I had hoped for and expected going into this album. Did not disappoint. Not something I plan on listening to a lot, but decent overall. 3/5: acceptable

#16. I liked this one quite a bit. Even though rap music is more popular now than its ever been, and is possibly the most popular form of pop music these days, this is just one more piece of evidence that 90s rap was the peak of rap music. This dude's joke/comedy side project rap album is better than 93.141592% of modern rap music. 4/5: fantastic

#17. I never really listened to Lauryn Hill before. Honestly I thought she made poppy r&b type shit, but as it turns out she was a rapper this whole time. Who knew? All I know is that this album is boring. Some lyrics from one of the song say "Come on baby, light my fire/ Everything you drop is so tired/ Music is supposed to inspire" and I wonder was she talking about herself because this shit is very much so tired and uninspiring. Just one skippable track after another. No part of this album was even remotely interesting. 2/5: meh

#18. I thought this one wasn't as good as the other Ray Charles one. Either that or the novelty of listening to old timey music wore off. Or maybe it was because I was sober when I listened to this one? Who knows. It was fine, I guess. The album title is a bit pretentious though, no? 3/5: acceptable

#19. I'm glad we were getting Alice in Chains and Nirvana in the 90s while the Brits were stuck with Oasis and Suede and such. Because you could listen to grunge and 90s alternative on repeat until forever. And while this is fine or whatever, no one wants to listen to Oasis on repeat. This is grocery store music at its most inoffensive peak. 3/5: acceptable

#20. This album isn't it. I don't know what it is, but it isn't it. There isn't one song that's even a little bit good. Tokyo Storm Warning is probably the most annoying song I've listened to so far on this list. I can't imagine anyone enjoying this. 1/5: terrible

#21. This album is fun. It's very of its era, but I like it anyway. 3/5: acceptable

#22. Despite that Spotify told me these guys were the longest lived and most prolific band from the 70s British punk scene, I had never heard of it. I had no real expectations going in, but I found this album to be a fairly enjoyable listen. 3/5: acceptable

#23. Not The Who's best album, but a pretty solid debut to be sure. 3/5: acceptable

#24. Definitely one of the Rolling Stones best albums, and Wild Horses is probably my favorite song by them. 4/5: fantastic

#25. I want to preface this with the statement that I have never once listened to more than a few seconds of a Taylor Swift song. I did watch a video when I was drunk the other whenever of her and Alison Krauss doing karaoke of a Keith Whitley song, but I don't know how even a single one of her actual songs go. Honestly, I probably couldn't pick Taylor Swift out of a lineup if it was just me and her in the lineup. That being said, I do know who she is. She is a force of fucking nature, and is surely the most famous pop star of the last decade or so. So reasonably, I think, I expected some form of greatness going into this. But maybe you'll be as shocked as I was to find that the guys over at Spotify fucked up and accidentally put something else by this album cover entirely. Because what I listened to was not greatness. Taylor Swift sells out arenas. I'd be suprised if this could sell out a dark stage at the back of a dive bar. People pay $3000 to go see Taylor Swift. You'd be hard pressed to get $30 out of me to listen to that. People wore adult diapers so they wouldn't have to miss a single second of Taylor Swift's show. Honestly I'd rather shit my pants as an excuse to not listen to this anymore. If this is the Taylor Swift album that made this list, then surely it is her best one, yeah? And if thats the case, then surely someone at Spotify fucked up and accidentally put some other crap in place of the expected greatness on the Taylor Swift page, yeah? Sarcasm aside, I didn't expect that I would like this very much anyway, and I was still disappointed. Except the one song which seemed to be about Starbucks lovers or something, most of the songs seem to be about her complaining about other people complaining about her, and I can't figure out for the life of me why that is supposed to be interesting. All these songs seem like they were manufactured in a lab to get the most radio play with the least amount of effort and thought. At first I thought how could this get that popular? But that's stupid, it's pretty obvious how. The more important question is not how, but why? But we probably don't have enough time to answer that kind of question here. Of the two modern pop albums I've listened to on this playlist so far, I think the Lorde one is way better. 2/5: meh

#26. This is the second 70s British punk band that I've gotten this week that is supposedly pretty well known I have never heard of even once. I have decided though that I like Wire better than The Fall. Or at least I like this particular album better I liked the other anyway. It's definitely more punk-ish anyway. The songs are short, sweet, and to the fucking point. The songs are a little bit samey, but I guess that's true of the whole genre, and that's kinda the point, so it's hard to fault it for that. I would say that I liked it on the whole. 3/5: acceptable

#27. I wouldn't generally say that I'm a big fan of pop music or disco, but there aren't any bad songs on this album. I think its a solid 7/10 album, but at the end of the day I decided to round down instead of round up because there weren't any adults here to stop me. 3/5: acceptable.

#28. I've been listening to this one fairly regularly since I was a kid. There's not really any part of this album I don't like. 5/5: perfection

#29. I think there's a reason nobody knows any more than two Jethro Tull songs. The flute solo shtick wears thin about one or two songs in. The music is alright I guess, but the vocals are less than ideal. This one slots in on the low end of 3 I think. 3/5: acceptable

#30. How did this make the cut? I wish some pretentious know-it-all had gatekept me away from this. 1/5: terrible

#31. This one is pretty standard hipster rock fare. Decent enough I suppose if you're into that kind of thing. There isn't anything offensively bad about it, but I'm not on nearly enough drugs for you to convince me it's good either. 2/5: meh

#32. Is this one of those things where you had to have been there to get it? Because I wasn't there, and I don't get it. I see all these four and five star reviews, but personally I don't see how this can be viewed as anything other than mediocre. 2/5: meh

#31. Weird British 70s retroism from the 90s psychedelic pop type... something. Not bad enough to make you want to rage quit, but certainly not very compelling either. Yeah, I don't know. 2/5: meh

#34. I'll have to remember this band the next time I'm on a Tinder date with an LA girl with a wide brimmed hat and finger tattoos, because surely they all love this. 2/5: meh

#35. Dial-up modem music made by robots, for robots. 4/5: fantastic

#36. I liked this quite a bit. 70s prog rock with some old school heavy metal influence. And it's definitely prog rock done right. A lot of times I feel like proggy jam bands often sound like they're trying to compete with each other rather than play together, but these songs are definitely consistently coherent and the songs are long without seeming unnecessarily drawn out. 4/5: fantastic

#37. There's really only one good Patti Smith song, and this isn't the album it's on. This one could almost get a 3- almost, but there's a few songs that are actively annoying. I don't really have even a little bit of desire to listen to this one again. 2/5: meh

#38. Probably only Bob Dylan's third best album, but still better than most on this list. 5/5: perfection

#39. There's a reason you've only heard Sweet Emotion and Walk This Way. Most songs would be better as an instrumental. Steven Tyler is cheesy in a way I find tiresome, except for when he's being outright creepy. Why are so many of his lyrics about banging children? 2/5: meh

#40. You know when you listen to an artist who was a one hit wonder and it blows your mind and you think "Oh shit, this is amazing! Why haven't I been listening to this the whole time?" Yeah, this wasn't one of those times. This is just Criminal, and nine other songs you wish were as good as Criminal. Because that song is so good that it is strong enough to singlehandedly drag an otherwise two star album into threedom. 3/5: acceptable

#41. I'd never heard the name of this band or any of their songs before. When I saw it was more britpop I thought "Ah shit, here we go again." I think a lot of these British guitar pop bands are so highly rated on here because of the nostalgia factor more so than actual quality because some dj forced them upon you dozens of times a day, but it's hard to be nostalgic for something you don't know. Anyway let's give it a listen anyway. Aaaaaaand... I was wrong. Immediately I already know the first song. I definitely did listen to this dozens of times a day, but not because of some radio asshole, no- but because of an even bigger asshole: me. Even though I was technically correct in saying that I didn't know the name of this band or any of their songs, Lose Control was on the first Gran Turismo, and I've surely heard this song thousands of times because of it. [Which reminds me, I was supposed to acquire a 618 hp mid engined Del Sol once I became an adult, let me go put that on the checklist] While I'm not entirely sure I would call this britpop (when I think britpop, I think Oasis. And no offense or whatever, but Oasis is bad, and you should feel bad for liking it), I'm not entirely sure what I would call it. I'm not sure they'd know either though to be honest. Every song on this album sounds quite a bit different, like they were trying to emulate other bands almost. Like Black Sabbath for example with the song I'd Give You Anything. Guy heard N.I.B. and was like "Yoink- that's OUR riff now, comerade." Dude must have went to the Dave Grohl School of Blatant Riff Thiefage or something. Anyway, despite the all-over-the-placeness of this album, I'd definitely say it's pretty decent. 3/5: acceptable

#42. It was alright, I guess. Her voice is a bit much at times. I suppose I never really got the hype about Janis Joplin. 3/5: acceptable

#43. What is this? No, that wasn't a rhetorical question. Could someone please explain to me what in the actual fuck is this? This isn't real music, right? Nelson Mandela used some AI this morning to make this and subject me to it as a social experiment, right? I've heard some terrible music in my day, and I've listened to a few terrible albums on this playlist even [looking at you, Elvis Costello]. But I have never even imagined anything in the same realm of terribleness as whatever the fuck this was. It makes me think that maybe I judged a few previous albums too harshly, because this deserves a special place on its own special one star shelf of shame. I refuse to accept this is even real music and not some joke someone is playing on me. 0/5: absolutely fucking unacceptable

#44. My first thought was that this was better than the rest of the hipster-folk on this list. My second thought was no, it was just the first song. The first song is good, the rest of it was whatever. 3/5: acceptable

#45. Sounds like Kurt Cobain was intentionally trying to sound bad on parts of this [which he probably was] to appear more punk or something. Not my favorite, but there's definitely a few good songs in there. 3/5: acceptable

#46. I can't be bothered to scour the whole internet for wherever the fuck Niel Young keeps all his music these days, so I'm just going to wing it. Cinnamon Girl is good. Down by the River is good. The rest of its probably fine? Fuck it. 3/5: acceptable.

#47. I know I said I was going to be less harsh in dealing out one stars after that Tom Waits album, but I guess I lied. Because I kinda hate this. I mean, it's nowhere near as bad as Tom Waits, but I still hate it. It's not really music so much as just noise. 1/5: terrible

#48. This sounds like the last gasp of a dying has-been band. I had never heard of them before this list, so honestly I have no idea if they were an ever-been, let alone a has-been, but that what it seems like to me. Not outright terrible, but also not something I really have any desire to listen to again. 2/5: meh

#49. Here comes that overrated band and their weird ass fans to talk them up like most of their music isn't weird or boring. 3/5: acceptable

#50. This album is all over the place. And not really in a good way? It sounds more like a compilation of assorted random shit than and kind of cohesive whole. None of it's terrible, but there is no standout great song either. 2/5: meh

#51. There's not really much to be said here that hasn't been said many times before. This album changed popular music and defined the sound of a generation 5/5: perfection

#52. I'm trying to think of something to say about this one, but I'm coming up with nothing. It was an album. I listened to it. It was OK. 3/5: acceptable.

#53. Decent stuff, but reading about what happened with them turned out to be more interesting than the music 3/5: acceptable

#54. This kind of jazz [and I suppose most kinds of jazz in general] doesn't really do it for me. I can understand the quality of the music, but I still don't really want to listen to it. 2/5: meh

#55. I don't think I'd normally like this kind of music, but for some reason this drew me in. Maybe it's because a lot of it is a bit humorous, but I definitely liked it more than I expected to. 3/5: acceptable

#56. 3.6 roetgen. Not great, not terrible. 3/5: acceptable

#57. A.I. prompt: What would it sound like if Boy George, George Michael, and Micheal Jackson were the same person, and the Boy George² Michael² Jackson abomination made the most boring album possible? Ooh, also give me some gibberishy rhyming name similar to Milli Vanilli or something. Oh man. Scritti Politti? Geez, thats worse than i could have imagined. Ok, perfect. Now send it out into the world and see if anyone notices its not real. 2/5: meh

#58. I spent the whole time this album was on thinking Man, this guy sounds like the guy that sings that Lullaby song. So much so that I don't remember anything about this album. He sounds a lot like the guy that sings Lullaby. This isn't the guy that sings Lullaby, right? Edit: this isn't the guy that sings Lullaby. That guy was Shawn Mullins, and this guy is Howard something. 2/5: meh

#59. Beck was still making music in 2005? This first two songs were quite good. The rest of the album was good too, but the first two were gooder. 3/5: acceptable

#60. Me: Mom, can we get REM? Mom: we have REM at home. The REM at home: [this] This album sounds a lot like REM. I fucking hate REM. I think its too bad this album was the one chosen for this list, because afterward, I listened to some of their earlier stuff and it's some pretty decent punk stuff. Why the chose to evolve from that into wish.com REM is beyond me. Shame, really. 2/5: meh

#61. Rod Stewart has always been, and always will be. When our forebears climbed from the primordial ooze, there was Rod Stewart. When our great grandchildren's great grandchildren are old and grey, there Rod Stewart will be, making inoffensive music flavored music until the end of existence as we know it. 3/5: acceptable

#62. When I woke up this morning, I had this urge to listen to 37 minutes and 11 seconds of a guy that sounds like Kermit the Frog doing an impression of Jordan Peterson for some reason. And Sheogorath bless, I was given The Smiths to listen to today! Perfect. I will have to deduct three stars though because even though they were right in saying the queen is dead, woke ass Britain made a MAN queen in some weird equal rights affirmative action type thing. I mean, I believe in equal rights and all, but I'm also a bit traditional sometimes, and I just think a woman should be queen. 2/5: meh

#63. I quite like Radiohead, but this particular album isn't their most interesting. 3/5: acceptable

#64. I assumed all the British punk bands from the 70s were uninteresting because I've only really ever heard The Sex Pistols and The Clash, but it turns out the Brits were just hiding the good stuff from us, because all the punk I've listened to on this list are way better than those two. 3/5: acceptable

#65. This one was pretty good. I thought I would hate it, but this shit fucks. 4/5: fantastic

#66. Listening to this album it makes me wish I was sitting in the garage with the door open, a cigarette in one hand, and a beer or three in the other during a heavy rainstorm. I couldn't tell you why, but that's what's what. 3/5: acceptable

#67. This is movie credits music. The kind you don't mind leaving as soon as it comes on. 2/5: meh

#68. Partway through I had to remind myself that no, I wasn't on hold to talk to the dentist, I was in fact listening to this album on purpose, for some reason. 2/5: meh

#69 (nice). This album sucks. I have never heard nor even heard of this guy beforehand. The album cover is pretty cool, I thought, but it misled me. There's nothing good inside. Just uninteresting hipster-folk trash start to finish. The song titles are more stupid than Fall Out Boy Songs. Nothing about any of this did I enjoy in the slightest bit. I seriously considered giving this one star, but then I went back and skimmed through some Tom Waits songs [the true bar of what is a one star album] and thought OK, maybe it's not that bad. But it's borderline almost one star though. Trash 2/5

#70. Put this on the list with Rocky Horror Picture Show for cult classics that I really don't understand why. It's fine, I guess. Nothing special though. 3/5

#71. Decent 3/5

#72. Well that certainly was uhhhh... something, now wasn't it? Like, you know, not something good, but something. 1/5

#73. It's just some guy fiddlefucking around on a piano for an hour. He's not even playing any particular song, he's just noodling about for a bit. You know the phrase "this meeting could have been an email?" Well similarly this album could have a Youtube video. I don't care if Youtube didn't exist in 1975, that's your problem. Figure it out. Wikipedia said people only paid $1.72 to go watch this, and well, I suppose paying less than two dollars to listen to some improv isn't that bad. At least it wasn't terrible, I guess. 3/5

#74. That song from Guitar hero is pretty good. The rest of it not so much. One hit wonder out of five.

#75. I don't hate it. It's good enough overall, but also I'm not suprised it faded away into history and I'd never heard of it before. 3/5

#76. I haven't cringed this hard in quite some time. This whole album is pretty yikes-tastic. Do people actually like this? No part of listening to this was enjoyable to me. 1/5: please stop.

#77. I guess I only know the hits when it comes to David Bowie, and I've never listened to one of his album all the way through before, but I think I expected more. 3/5: it was alright.

#78. This album wasn't any better than their other album on this list. Uninteresting mid-core. 2/5: lame

#79. This shit was boring as hell, which is sometimes worse than being bad when it comes to music. 2/5: yawn

#80. Was it a coincidence or a conspiracy that the algorithm tried to force me to listen to a Christmas album on Christmas day? You know what? I'm not going to anyway. I fucking hate Christmas music. Also Phil Spector is an absolute diarrhea person. Fuck that guy. 1/5: Fuck your Christmas music and your Christ, and fuck Phil Spector the most.

#81. Somehow this dude managed to capture lightning in a bottle twice and be in two of the most popular rock bands of all time. This is definitely-probably the best Food Finder album as well. 5/5: fingernails are good

#82. Jazz is like wine for me. No matter how good people say that it is, it all tastes the same to me. 3/5: boxed wine

#83. Funky weird jazz rock something. I'm honestly not entirely sure. 3/5: What is happening?

#84. The first song was good, but then it faded fast. Like real fast. Honestly the rest of the album kinda sucks. But hey, at least they're being consistent with adding an album from a one hit wonder which that one hit isn't on. 2/5: pass

As I was reading some of the previous reviews, I saw a one star review that said "Offensive, misogynistic, an album of nothing but the N word because he thinks he can and an uncountable amount of mother fuckers." Yeah, pretty much that. 5/5: because fuck you, that's why

#86. Trashy music from a trashy skank. Hard pass. No stars for Gryffindor. 1/5: Half a star for the accurate album title. Another half a star for still being better than Tom Waits somehow.

#87. Björk as a person is weird in the best possible way. Her music is just weird in the regular way. Honestly it's really not that bad if you can get past all the shrieking, but it's definitely not in my regular rotation. This was definitely better though than that Sugarcubes album. Her weird style definitely seems to get more enjoyable [or at least less disagreeable] the more you hear. You know what, I'm going to round it up to four stars for no particular reason whatsoever. 4/5: fuck the cops

#88. On their own, any one of these songs are good enough, but 13 of them in a row? That's a bit much. 3/5: it's good enough, I suppose.

#89. Another one hit wonder band. But this one is different because I didn't even know that it was a one hit wonder, I thought that was a Talking Heads song the whole time. The album was pretty good though, I dig it. 3/5: yeah

#90. If you had asked me yesterday if I thought I would enjoy listening to 48 minutes of sad girl r&b, I probably would have guessed probably not, but this was actually a fairly enjoyable listen. She has an amazing voice, and while this is definitely not my go style of music, I did find that I liked it. 3/5: way better than similar stuff like Taylor Swift

#91. I can see why this was influential and popular back when rock and roll was a new cool thing, but it doesn't really have the same impact three quartes of a century later. Also it's kinda the same song 13 times in a row. 3/5: yeah.

#92. David Crosby is the Ringo of CSNY, isn't he. It's bit strange, and honestly I can't tell whether I like it or not. 3/5: Octopus's Garden out of ten.

#93. Pantera- it's like thrash, but with anger management issues. This shit is literally just teenage angst in music form. My initial though was to award it 15 stars, but I had to subtract 5 stars for the album cover not being as good as Metal Magic, and then subtract 5 more stars for Phil Anselmo being the way that he is. 5/5: I dunno, but it's hard to give any less than 5 stars to an album I've surely listened to a hundred times or more.

#94. You know you've made a good song when it's so popular it gets on the forbidden to play list at music stores, right? The whole album is cheesy as fuck, but in a way that you don't hate it, somehow. 4/5: Space truckin', son, ain't what it used to be

#95. This shit ain't it. If you're gonna put out an album that's some drawn out live jam band bullshittery, you should at least play your own songs and not some terrible cover of someone else's song, yeah? I think its pretty obvious why no one has heard of this before. What's less obvious is why/how it made it onto this list. 2/5: nah

#96. Those people there seemed to be having a gay old time, but it isn't really the kinda shit I want to be listening to, personally. 3/5: it's fine, for the most part.

#97. Hurray! Some improv jazzy bullshit with some guy yelling random noises over it occasionally. Exactly what I wanted to listen to this morning. 2/5: Who is this for? Do people really enjoy this?

#98. I don't know why this works, but it does. Blues pop, as a concept, doesn't really make any sense. With the exception of TV Dinners, which stands out as being quite stupid, the album is a pretty fun listen. 4/5: it good

#99. This one seemed kind of generic. Not bad by any means, but not really much there that would make you want to listen to it again. Back Pages was pretty good and probably the most interesting song here. 3/5: acceptable

#100. This is like off brand music. This for people who played with mega blocks instead of Legos and ate King Vitamin instead of Captain Crunch. Sounds like they listened to a lot of punk music and maybe Bowie growing up, but only through the wall from the neighbor's 2.5/5: this is the Dr. Perky of music

#101. I never listened to them before. I honestly thought it sounded like it was from like 5 or 10 years before then. Sounds like it came before the stuff like Jay Z and Kanye and such that was popular at the time. 3/5: pretty good

#102 pretty classic industrial metal album, and probably Ministry's best 4/5:

#103. This was alright, I guess, but if I had heard this back in the day I most certainly would not have been waiting around for their second album 3/5: it'll do, pig

#104. This album might have been good if I were on lots of drugs. Or at least I might not have noticed it was shit if I were on lots of drugs. Unfortunately, while listening to this I was not on lots of drugs. 2/5: this gets a nope out of ten from me, dawg.

#105. This is peak 2000s hipster rock here. Fun fact: this album was almost called "Looking Good on the Dance Floor, and 12 Other Forgettable Songs to Twirl Your Moustache To," but they decided to change it last minute. 3/5: acceptable, but just barely

#106. Big oof. This manages to be both terrible and full of pretentious twattery. 1/5: Surely no one likes this, right?

#107. I bet 90% of the people that like this say things like "You wouldn't have heard of them," "I liked them before they were cool" [they were never cool], and "I haven't listened to the radio since 2009" 2/5: I've already forgot what this album sounded like.

#108. This album is pretty good. Great even. Probably even one of the best when it comes to soul music. But soul music in general is just kinda middle of the pack music, and my score for this album reflects that. Good as it may be, this kind of album is not the kind of thing you'd just pop on on a regular raggedy ass Tuesday when if you wanted to listen to something. 3/5: it has its place, but that place is not at the top of the list.

#109. The first half of this album is pretty good. Some kinda bluesy psychedelic rock thing. The second half is some meandering Phishy jam band type nonsense that I don't particularly enjoy. Never heard of them before so I didn't know what to expect, and it turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag. 3/5: stick to side 1

#110. Decent, but had Kanye West on several songs, and all for the worse. I thought Kanye was supposed to be some lyrical genius or something? "I did what I did, because I had a kid"- for real? That's it? Come on dude, be better. 3/5: I don't hate it I guess. He's a better actor than rapper it seems though.

#111. I suppose I can see why a thing like this would be on this list, but that doesn't mean I have to like it though. 2/5: too try hard

#112. While listening to this album you might find yourself wondering who or what is this for. Well let me paint a picture for you. You have begrudgingly agreed to go to a dinner party at one of your wife's coworker's house. You know the one. The one with the combover and the crooked moustache. The one that always touches your arm when he talks to you. With the crack skinny wife in the wispy dress that doesn't speak loud enough to understand what she's saying ever. Every wall in their house is the same shade of off-white and every room has like one or two pieces of furniture, and maybe some stabby brutalist "art." You keep looking over at your wife to see if you can leave yet, because every minute being here is a minute closer to your insanity. And... this is the music that's playing in the background the whole time. Oh, and the brisket they served was dry. 2/5: please don't make me listen anymore

#113. Nothing super interesting here. Ok radio rock but nothing that stands out. 2/5: meh

#114. It was fuzzy. It was muffled. They delivered on all promises. What more can you want? 3/5: good job.

#115. I was never really into Dolly Parton. I just don't get it. It's not bad or whatever, I just don't want it. 3/5: acceptable

#116. I'm finding that I just can't really get into this older pop and r&b stuff. I try to give it a fair listen, but this shit just bores me. 2/5: meh

#117. The hits were good, but the rest were... misses if we're being honest. The gap in quality of the songs on this album is wide. Those two songs were good, but the rest of it was pretty nopey for me. 2/5: nah

#118. This is a pretty classic album with several songs that people that don't even listen to this kind of music know. 5/5: excellent

#119. I really thought this was going to be better than that. I mean, this is the guy from the Beatles. And it's not like he was just some guy that just happened to be there, he wrote like half the fucking songs. So, what happened, the Beatles broke up and he just forgot how to write good songs or whatever? Mother and Well Well Well are terrible songs, and the rest aren't much better, to be honest. 2/5: listening to this almost makes one yearn for a snubnose .38

#120. This shit slaps. It kinda faded at the end but pretty fucking good overall. The lyrics are still pretty relevant today too. Shit never changes. 4/5: excellent

#121 Decent enough country rock. I didn't really love it or hate it, I just acknowledged its existence and moved on. 3/5: that'll do, pig.

#122. Timeless classic. No downsides, really. 5/5: perfect

#122 Mid tier 2000s rap. Not terrible. Probably Kanye's best work. 3/5: aight

#124. This album definitely gives off low budget horror movie vibes. Kinda reminds me of the movie Gummo actually in the way that while it's not that great and is slightly off-putting, I still can't look away. I'm drawn to it in some strange way. I saw that this album is pretty poorly rated, which surely means that the people that rated it so poorly just haven't yet heard the Butthole Surfers of Suicide albums on this playlist yet. Because while this was strange, it's light-years ahead of those two albums, which were literally just noise not even pretending to be music. I was going to give this a 2, but now I'm going to give it a 3 just to spite all you fuckers. 3/5: and I'll do it again

#125. No matter how much meandering jazz nonsense you put in front of me, it'll never not be boring. I'm assuming there are actually people out there that thoroughly enjoy this kind of music, but I'm glad I haven't met them. 2/5: wack

#126. God damn, but that was boring. The whole thing. Every song. Just sheer boredom. And why does the album cover look like a movie poster of a biopic where Adam Sandler is playing Al Pacino? 2/5: yawn

#127. Pretty fun overall. I'd touch it with a ten foot pole. 3/5: acceptable

#128 band prompt: What if Ac/dc, but also The Who? 3/5: I'm not really sure what I think about this, honestly

#129. This album is so stereotypically boomer that it almost doesn't seem real. Like it almost doesn't sound like music made by some boomers in the 80s, but rather like some spoof music made recently to mock boomer music from the 80s. It can't really be this fucking cheesy, can it? 2/5: it's just too much.

#130. Nothing about this album really does anything for me. I feel like some bands get to a point where they just put out albums because they think it's expected of them because musician is their job title, and not for the actual art of it. And that's what this album sounds like. Just kinda half assed. 2/5: meh

#131. Some of it was okay, but some of it was pretty dumb. I don't know, I don't hate it but I couldn't really get into it. 2/5: meh

#132. Reminds me or Radiohead, but not as good. 3/5: whatever

#134. I'm pretty sure I was under the impression that the Rolling Stones were one of the rock and roll greats, but actually listening to their albums has me questioning that opinion, because none of them seem to be particularly great. 3/5: it's OK at best

#134. More hipster folk. Hurray... 2/5: boo

#135 The description says this was only Pink Floyd album led by Syd Barrett, and I think that's probably for the best, because this is nowhere as good as their later stuff. 3/5: alright

#136. I found the high falsetto singing tiresome after about one song, but that one song was pretty good. This album wasn't able to hold my attention, really. 3/5: fine

#137. Most people: the world is round Weirdos: the world is flat Billy Corgan: the world is a vampire 4/5: excellent

#138. I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. It's as weird as you'd think, but I dig it. 4/5: it good

#139. Boomers will complain about "music these days," and then turn around and unironically listen to Mr. Loodle-doot-skibbidy-beep-bop Man. 2/5: get the fuck outta here

#140. While one or two of these songs may be interesting enough on their own, I absolutely cannot handle 62 minutes in a row of this repetitive nonsense. 2/5: don't

#141. Beautiful voice, boring as fuck music. Background noise out of ten. 2/5: meh

#142. When I was listening to that shitass John Lennon album, I wondered where all the talent that made the Bearles good went. Well apparently it was right here, with this guy. If I had heard this album first, I probably would have given it 3 stars, but now I'm gonna give it 4 as a general fuck you to John Lennon. Some of you reading this might not enjoy the fact that I've rated all the Beatles albums so far a 3 and this a 4, but uh, you know... fuck the cops or whatever, I'm doing it anyway 🤷‍♀️ 3.8 snubnose/5: maybe that Chapman guy wasn't so wrong after all.

#143. Portishead sounds like a type of venomous fish or something. Never heard of them before, I think. I do quite like this though, it'll probably end up in my regular rotation, for sure. I've heard the song Glory Box before, but I didn't remember from where, so I looked it up. Turns out it was in about 20 different movies, including one called B Monkey that was played on IFC every three and a half minutes or so when I was in high school and I've probably watched like 8 or 10 times, which is where I recognized it from. I'm pretty sure I thought it was a Spice Girls song or something at the time though. Whichever. I still dig it. 5/5: this probably realistically is not a 5 star album, but there's no adults here, so I can do what I want.

#144. This reminds me of that Patti Smith album. Angsty feminist punk-type... something. Definitely not for me. 2/5: garbage

#145. Just like that Barry Adamson soundtrack album that isn't actually a soundtrack for anything, the main question I have for this is- Why? Why does this exist? Why would you intentionally make music for the sole purpose that no one will want to listen to it? 1/5: dumb

#146. This album is pretty great, with with one glaring weakness, that being Eazy E. If he was missing from the album, surely no one would miss him. I find him kind of annoying and his rhymes kind of wack. The rest is good though. 4/5: yes.

#147. It's decent enough, I suppose. Song 2 and On Your Own are pretty good, but the rest is kinda forgettable, for the most part. 3/5: acceptable

#148. Hey look, another mid ass Beatles album. That's the third one so far. Aren't the Beatles supposed to be great or something? Is that all just hype and not reality? Do they actually have any albums with more than one or maybe two good songs on it? I know there's about eleventeen Beatles albums on this list, so I guess I'll find out. Not betting on it though 3/5: acceptable

#149. This sounds like it was from 1955, not 2005. Good, I guess, if you're someone's grandpa. I'll probably forget this by the end of the week though. 3/5: it's fine?

#150. I'm sorry, I can't concentrate. Rock stars have kidnapped my son! 4/5: lovely

#151. I was cringing so hard listening to Wordy Rappinghood I nearly turned inside out. I nearly DNF'ed this album halfway through the first song, but I skipped to the next one and surprisingly it was pretty good. It was a one off though, as the rest of the album was uninteresting. Meh. 2/5: why.

#152. They really drop you off in the deep end with this one, huh? The rest of the album is solid enough, but the song Maggot Brain fucks for sure. 3/5: decent

#152. An exceptionally unexceptional entry into the genre 2/5: yawn

#153. Another one hit wonder? At least this album as a whole was pretty good, unlike some of the other one hit wonders. 3/5: acceptable

#155. The name Christine and the Queens implies there's at least three people, but it seems it's only one person [that looks like 1997 Johnny Depp] whose name isn't even Christine. It's pretty good, I'd say, for dance pop, but that's not really a genre I know or care too much about. 3/5: decent

#156. I thought I only knew a few Doors songs, but it turns out I already knew most of the songs on this album. I definitely dig it, this album is good shit. 4/5: I like

#157. I was worried this album was going to be annoying, but it wasn't that bad. Very upbeat poppy new wave kind of thing, pretty decent for the most part. 3/5: fun

#158. Not a miss on here. This one's great start to finish. 5/5: fantastic

#159. Jazz is still jazz. 2/5: jazz

#160. Some pretty good stuff on here. I dig it. Some pretty solid covers too. 3/5: yah

#161. This is honestly way better than it has any right to be. 4/5: legitness

#162. There's that song Freedom, and then there's a bunch of boring adult alternative nonsense following it. 2/5: pretty bad

#163. This album kinda just sucks, doesn't it? 1/5: thankfully short

#164. What is there to say here, but oof? Hair metal is up there on the list of the worst musical genres for sure. Also, I didn't know this was their debut album. I assumed it took a few albums to devolve into this absurd caricature of themselves, but no, they jumped straight out of the gate sounding like this. Why? They're definitely the Ac/DC or Nickleback of their era. Straight garbage. 2/5: people like to shit on nü metal, but hair metal is really the biggest blight on the metal genre as a whole. I fucking hate this shit.

#165. Super forgettable 90s alternative. Nothing interesting going on here. It's like off brand Garbage or something. 2/5: yawn

#166. This was painfully British. Yikes, dude. The only good part of it is the knowing that since I've never once heard or even heard of this is the past 29 years, it's unlikely I'll ever have to hear it again. 2/5: terrible

#167. I kept getting bored listening to this. I ended up skipping the end of a lot of the songs. I feel like drugs might make this more tolerable? 2/5: two

#168. I've spent years trying to get Spotify to stop playing Muse at me, and surely all that progress will be lost after listening to this album. I've never listened to a whole ass Muse album before, and now that I have, I realize that I had made the correct decision before. They seem way too try hard. I don't know what exactly it is they are trying to do, but I'm pretty sure they never actually achieved it. Seems like music for people that unironically wear New Balances and cargo shorts. 2/5: wack

#169. I remember listening in high school on the bus on my yellow Sony Sports Discman with 30 second Electronic Shock Protection®️ on a daily basis for at least months. And it's not any less good now than it was then. This album fucks 5/5: Yes.

#170. These songs are all basically the same. And not particularly interesting. 2/5: yawn

#171. It's pretty good. I like it overall, but at the same time it's not really anything special. 3/5: decent

#172. Spotify says there are 13 million people listening to this character every month. 13 million. Monthly. What the fuck? Who is purposefully listening to this shit? 2/5: not great

#173. Some good stuff on here, but there's definitely a few tracks that could have been removed to make it better. Some of them seem like placeholders to make the album longer or something? I don't know. 3/5: decent.

#174. I listened to this yesterday, and as I'm trying to think about it now, I realize I already don't really remember what it sounds like. Arcade fire is just that memorable I guess. I'm pretty sure I remember thinking the girl kinda sounds like Björk on the last song. Not sure if that's a positive or a negative, but that's what I got. 2/5: hipster folk

#175. I thought Fame was good, but that was really the only one. The rest is just filler 2/5: nope

#176. Her album Frank was so shockingly terrible that I wondered how did she ever become popular in the first place. This album is significantly better, and more like what I had expected from her music. I mean, it's not great or anything, but it's at least good. 3/5: maybe you should have gone to rehab?

#177. I think this guy being considered one of the best must just be the death hype. Ain't no way. This is middling at best. And one of the lines is "you look so good, I'd suck your daddy's dick." Bruh.... what the fuck is that shit? 2/5: the fuck outta here with that shit.

#178. This is fine. That's about all I've got to say about it though. Not bad, but also kinda background-musicky 3/5: decent

#179. I kept waiting for the good part, but it just kinda never happened. 2/5: unfulfilling.

#180. This album reminds me of those "what the future will look like" pictures. And, for a time at least, he wasn't wrong. Most 80s synth pop owes a lot to albums like this. 4/5: yes, please.

#181. Maybe I'm way off here, but this seems like music for a hangover after a three day bender 🤷‍♀️ 3/5: decent

#182. I'm sure some boomers or other such oldies might tell you that this album is the bee's whole-ass knee, but I am neither an orthopedic physician nor an apiarist, so I could not confirm nor deny such rumors. 3/5: perfect for a Fallout soundtrack, but perhaps too outdated for anything else these days.

#183. This album is completely uninteresting to me. It manages to be boring and mildly annoying, but not really much else. 2/5: dumb

#184. On the one hand, I suppose shitty punk music is more punk than more well executed punk music, but on the other hand, I still fucking hate this. 2/5: Yeah, I realize the problem may lie with me, but I'm gonna give it a two anyway

#185. It's REM. No need to listen to it to give it a proper rating, but I guess I'll do it anyway. And... yep. Just as I suspected, it sucks. REM is certainly nothing someone needs to hear before they die, or ever really. 2/5: dumb.

#186. REM, and then James Taylor back to back? Fuck me, right? Al Gore's rhythm seems to be out to get me. I've heard some of his songs before, but for obvious reasons never listened to a whole album before. It's exactly as I assumed it would be though. About as good as any one of his singles, just more. 2/5: James Taylor just seems to me like a less pretentious, but also less good Neil Young or something.

#187. Didn't do anything for me. He struggled to hit the notes on his own songs several times too. If you're going to put out a live album, maybe try picking a show where you sound better 2/5: meh

#188. I've never heard anything from this guy apart from the Peaky Blinders theme before and assumed it would just all be like that, but not really so much. The first half was pretty good, I like it, but the second half was honestly just mostly boring. 3/5: it's fine.

#189. The songs that were more funk were good. The songs that were not really funk were not really good. 2/5: meh

#190. Tolerable, but nothing really there that draws you in and makes you want to listen to it a second time 3/5: acceptable

#191. Music for bored hippies? 3/5: fine

#192. This is probably the Radiohead album that I listen to the least, but it's still worth a listen every now and again. 4/5: yarp

#193. This is beige music for middle aged moms. Like, it's not bad, but it's not anything really. 3/5: milquetoast.

#194. Not the worst thing I've ever heard. Which, when talking about Morrissey, is a hell of a compliment. 3/5: weirdly not terrible

#195. Is all modern pop music trashy skank music, or just the stuff on this list? 1/5: God awful

#196. I've listened to this album many times before, and this time it was just as brilliant as every other time. It's great start to finish. I have no complaints, really. 5/5: perfect.

#197. This isn't terrible or anything, but the thing of the thing is that I'm just not as nostalgic for weird obscure British nonsense as the maker of this list obviously is. To say that you need to listen to this before you die is a bit hyperbolic if you ask me. 3/5: fine

#198. Inoffensive piano pop. Decent, I suppose, if you're already into that kind of thing, perhaps a bit boring if you're not. 3/5: acceptable

#199. The Rolling Stones' hits are undeniable, but on the whole, listening to an entire album leaves you wanting. None of them seem to be a particularly great listen start to finish. 3/5: ok

#200. Standard British punk rock fare. 3/5: fine

#201. Decent, almost stereotypical new wave album. A few great hits on there that I really liked. 3/5: good shit

#202. This very much does not do it for me. They seem to be trying real extra hard to be artsy or whatever. I don't know if they accomplished that, but I certainly don't like it. A few of the songs sounded almost intentionally bad. Don't want, please. 2/5: nope

#203. I mean, I tried to give it less than five stars, it just wouldn't let me. 5/5: I suppose that'll do.

#204. Albums like this are why I started doing this. To find albums that I have never heard [and would probably otherwise never listen to] that are good and that I like. But unfortunately this list is pretty weak. Out of the probably like 150ish so far I've never listened to previously, this is only like maybe the fifth one I want to listen to a second time. I don't know why I never listened to this before, it's fairly similar to shit that I do like, but here we are. Definitely adding this one to the list. 4/5: yarp

#205. I don't know why there's a greater than zero amount of Suede albums on this list. They're both a bit shit, aren't they? 2/5: narp

#206. I think this is the first live album I've listened to on this list so far that is actually good. 4/5: great.

#207. I don't think I've ever listened to Willie Nelson's music before, but it turns out it was just about exactly what I had expected, unfortunately. Just uninteresting old timey country that never really builds to anything, really. 2/5: meh

#208. Pretty decent overall. I particularly liked Scenario. 3/5: I'd touch it with a ten foot pole.

#209. Eddie Van Halen is a fantastic guitarist but Van Halen as a band is annoying, and D̶r̶. R̶o̶c̶k̶z̶o̶, t̶h̶e̶ r̶o̶c̶k̶ a̶n̶d̶ r̶o̶l̶l̶ c̶l̶o̶w̶n̶ David Lee Roth is just terrible. I've always had a dislike for this band, and a disdain for their popularity, and listening to it one more time didn't really sway me. I'm going to give this a three instead of a two for at least not being the album that Jump and Hot for Teacher are on. 3/5: really, Eruption saves this otherwise intolerable album.

#210. This list is making me like the Rolling Stones less and less with every album I listen to one here. Yet again, an album with about 1½ bangers, and a bunch of slop. 3/5: come on guys, I feel like you should be better than this...

#211. The only thing I can think to say about this album is fine. It's fine. Not really much else there. Also, the cover looks like the cover to 'Mary Kate and Ashley Solve the Mystery of the Pirate Treasure' or something 3/5: fine

#212. It's kinda the same as every other 90s alternative rock album, but I dig it. 3/5: yarp

#213. This album just kind of sucks. The dude that made this list must have had a crush on Bowie or something. That's the only way this many of his shit albums could have made it on this list. 2/5: I'd rather not.

#214. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. One of the reviews said they were like the B52s meets the Addams Family, and I think that sounds about right. This was weirdly fantastic. 4/5: yes

#215. This album starts out strong, but then kinda drags for a while. It seriously could have benefited from being like 20 minutes shorter. 3/5: it's alright

#216. Why, when stuff like this existed in the 80s, did shit like Guns n Roses and Poison and Ratt get popular instead? This is way better in every way. 4/5: would recommend.

#217. The hits are undoubtedly fantastic, but honestly someone should have kept his noodling in check. There's a lot of meandering nonsense in the middle that honestly made the album less, not more. 4/5: almost

#218. You see, when you said Ryan Adams, I thought you said Bryan Adams, and I was expecting something completely different. This was fine though. Very Dylan-esque folk but without as many ear raping harmonica solos. 3/5: acceptable.

#219. Like with Neil Young, I'm not going to go scouring the internet looking for somewhere I can listen to this. There was only one song on Spotify, I listened to it, it was terrible. Moving on. 2/5: shit

#220. It's a perfect transitional album from their grungey radio rock sound of their first album moving into the truly weird that they become. Great songs start to finish. No misses here. 5/5: fantastic

#221. There was nothing here that I thought was particularly great. It was alright I guess, but certainly no better than alright. 3/5: not spectacular

#222. Jazz. Jazzy jazz. Jazz that has jazzed in the same way that every other jazz has ever jazzed. 2/5: jazz

#223. This shit was goofy as hell. You'd have to be a very specific type of individual to enjoy this kind of thing, but unfortunately for Randy, I'm just a regular person and there's no way I could get into this. 2/5: wacky

#224. I said in my review of the Big Brother and the Holding Company album that the hype is unwarranted and that her voice is bad. And well, her voice hasn't changed from that album to this one, so I suppose my opinion hasn't either. The songs themselves are... fine, I guess. 3/5: death hype

#225. It was OK. I tried to get into it, there just wasn't a whole lot there. It reminds me of like PG-13 Dead Kennedys or something. Maybe that's not the best description, UT it'd the first one that came to mind. 3/5: tolerable

#226: minivan music for soccer moms who accidentally left their Coldplay cassette at home. 2/5: meh

#227. A quality album that, as the title suggests, bridges the gap between rick and soul. A pretty good voice too that plays well with the style of music. 3/5: pretty good.

#228. This is rave music. Probably something better to be experienced rather than listened to with a critical ear. 3/5: fairly pleasant, if monotonous

#229. I'm not going to lie to you, this is kinda terrible. But also I kinda like it. Yeah, I don't know. 3/5: oxymoron

#230. Keeping with the tradition of putting one hit wonder bands, but putting and album that the one hitbis not on I see. Not that this is terrible or anything, but why was this the album chosen to be on here? 3/5: acceptable

#231. A few bops in there, but a lot of pretty skippable tracks too though. Not one that I'd ever really put on on purpose to listen to the whole ass album. 2/5: too much meh

#232. Tom Waits. Again? The last album of his I listened to was literally the worst album I have ever listened to in my entire life. That is not hyperbole or exaggeration. Seriously it filled me with rage that it even exists. Like fuck man, I'm still pissed off and that was months ago. Thankfully, this album is not nearly as bad. It's still not good or anything, but you know, compared to Heartattack and Vine, this is lightyears ahead. It's fucking weird, it seems like he was going for some kind of Halloween kid's movie soundtrack vibe or something, but there were a few songs that were almost listenable. This album is borderline between one and two, but because of the simmering rage that remains from my last experience with this asshole, I'm going to have to round down and go with just one. 1/5: terrible.

#233. I'd never heard Frank Zappa's music before and didn't know what to expect, and yet somehow it was exactly what I expected anyway. 2/5: something

#234. Never heard of this band and have no idea what you would even call this genre of music. It was certainly interesting though. It definitely has a cool vibe. 3/5: decent

#235. This rating is probably kind of obvious. Hendrix is often considered one of the best guitarist out there, at least from this time frame, and this album is often on lists of greatest rock albums. And we'll, who the fuck am I to disagree? 4/5: fantastic.

#236. I don't care 2/5: meh

#237. There's a lot of edginess here that doesn't seem to lead to any kind of point. There's nothing that makes me care or want to listen to them again. Like it's fine, but that's about it. 3/5: it's fine

#238. Another one probably better experienced at a show than listened to straight through. 2/5: around the world

#239. Well, I mean, her voice is great, but these songs just aren't. This is one that probably should have been left alone, because it's simply just not as good as you remember, I promise. 2/5: meh.

#240. Most Grateful Dead fans are insufferable, but the music itself is pretty solid it seems. 3/5: decent

#241. I know most people like Kid A, but I think this is Radiohead's best album. I could listen to this everyday, probably. 5/5: excellent

#242. This is way better than any of those 'classic' British punk bands could ever hope to be. The Clash and The Sex Pisols and all that were a bit trash, on the whole, but Dead Kennedys and Bad Brains and such helped turned punk into something actually worth listening to. This album isn't just 15 exactly the same songs like so much punk before it. 4/5: fresh

#243. Woah, you gotta warn me beforehand if you're gonna be doing that. You can't just be slinging around unsolicited Rod Stewart at someone like that and expect them not to react in a certain kind of way. 3/5: the music is pretty good though.

#244. I know this dude is held in high esteem as far as modern rap music goes, but this was my fist time listening to his music and there was nothing in particular that stood out to me as being particularly impressive. Maybe it's just that a lot of other rap these days isn't really all that good, so this stands out in comparison? Who knows. I thought it was alright I guess. 3/5: acceptable

#245. In theory I could just copy/paste my review for Violator here. There's some highlights, but most of it is a bit uninteresting. If you like sad boy new wave, then this is surely the one for you. If not, we'll maybe tomorrow will be better? 3/5: it'll do, I guess.

#246. I knew this day was coming, and yet I was hoping anyway that it wouldn't. I listened to this album to keep with the spirit of this whole thing, but I already knew it was going to be terrible, and as I suspected, it was terrible. 2/5: garbage

#247. 39 minutes of music that is tolerable, but not really much else. 3/5: ok...ish

#248. As a concept album, the actual concept is hard to grasp. There's definitely some good bits, to be sure, but on the whole it's just a bit weird. 3/5: good, but I couldn't tell you why

#249. Neil Young is back on Spotify? Seems money was more important than his morals after all. Typical. I might have given this a 3 previously, but I think I'll give it one less now just because the man can't even stick to his own principles. 2/5: pretentious twat.

#250. This might could've won a middle school talent show. 3/5: A for effort, I guess

#251. Like Saul Trujillo said; the Beastie Boys are like Taco Bell, everyone knows it's not authentic, but there's no denying talent. 3/5: silly

#252. I've found I don't really like most of the ol timey rock and roll stuff in this book, but for some reason I thought this one was pretty good. Maybe because it was a bit bluesy as well? I don't know. 3/5: pretty good

#253. This is, at least so far, the most enjoyable hipster nonsense I've listened to on this list to date. 3/5: it's fine.

#254. Uninspiring British synth pop. Seemed pretty soulless and commercial to me. A bit of a force your way through it kind of album, honestly. 2/5: meh

#255. Honestly, this reminds me of my review of In Utero. There's definitely some standout really good songs, but there's also a few that seem almost intentionally bad. It all averages out in the end I guess. Plus one star because there's boobies on the cover. 4/5: boobies.

#256. Fiddlesy country folk. Not my most favorite, but I didn't hate it I guess. 3/5: ok

#257. This album sucks. It's just boring, with nothing going for it. It's hard to pick a favorite song from this album because none of them are any good. But hey, at least this book is sticking with theme of finding an artist that has some good songs, and then picking an album that none of those songs are on. Why is there so much of that? 2/5: stupid

#258. This album might have been just about forgotten if not for those two big hits. The rest of it's kind of just... there, not doing much. Also, they should've let her be the only singer, the other guy was less interesting. Worth it just for Somebody to Love and White Rabbit though. 4/5: yarp

#259. Decent, I suppose, but at the end of the day I'd rather not be listening to more jazz. 3/5: why...

#260. Bizarre, and in my opinion not in a good way. 2/5: meh

#261. Again with this guy? You know what, maybe i'm just coming at it from the wrong direction. Maybe it's not that it's accidentally bad, but it's intentionally bad as a troll just to see how many people he can trick into saying they think it's good. Maybe it's just rage bait so he could have a laugh, and I fell for it. Maybe he did it as a bit, to prove how bullshit the recording industry is but now he's been doing it so long he doesn't know how to stop. You know what, I'm going to give it an extra star just so I can pretend this guy doesn't get to me. 2/5: this isn't terrible. No really. No, that's not a forced smile, I promise I really didn't think it was as terrible as people say.

#262. This shit's a classic. Take out the skits and one or two songs and could be about perfect. 4/5: banger

#263. Hey look, it's the number 1 R&B star of 1962! 2/5: I don't care.

#264. When I was listening to this I didn't realize this was 60 years old, it sounds just like every hipster folk album coming out these days. I don't know if its that this guy was ahead of his time, or that those guys these days are trying so very desperately to be behind their times, but I guess that's irrelevant. It was decent though, I guess. 3/5: acceptable.

#265. I mostly just skipped through. I simply cannot be bothered to spend any more actual time listening to jazz for this playlist. 2/5: jazz

#266. Metallica really came out swinging with four of the best metal albums out there in a row. All killer, no filler. They didn't really put a foot wrong in the 80s. It's a shame what happened after that, but hey, we can't have it all, right? 5/5: excellent.

#267. Kind of a mixed bag here. Some pretty good songs, some not so much. Decent, I guess. 3/5: acceptable.

#268. This is going to be a weird comparison, but hear me out. This sounds like if The President's of the United States of America wrote a Bob Dylan album, but it wasn't as good as either of those artists. 2/5: meh

#269. Dylan made some unquestionably fantastic music in the 60s, but this was truly the tail end of any of that. For reasons unknown to man, he's still out there making music to this day, but it's terrible, and has been terrible since the late 70s. Albums like this one may still have a song or two to enjoy still, but it's clear that he's run out of whatever magic he had a decade before. 3/5: still ok, I guess

#270. He's clearly a good musician, but the question is: do we care? And I suppose I can only speak for my self, but no, not really. There doesn't seem to be anything there to draw you in despite the clear level of talent. 3/5: it's fine, I guess.

#271. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of disco or whatever it is this is, but this isn't bad by any means. Overall, I'd say my thoughts on this album are pretty neutral. It's fine. 3/5: acceptable

#272. This started out bad, and only got worse. 1/5: terrible, take a lap.

#273. Another run of the mill britpop album. Nothing to write home to mum about. 2/5: meh.

#274. Following the trend of all the other Stones albums I've listened to for this. A few truly great songs, accompanied by some truly forgettable filler. 3/5: acceptable.

#275. Unremarkable may not be the right word, but it is the first one that comes to mind. There's not even one song really that really stands out as being slightly better than the rest. There all just kinda there. 2/5: somewhat boring.

#276. Man, this did not age well, huh? I remember really liking this when I was 13, but like other things I liked as a child like the Power Rangers, or the movie Ferngully, somethings should just be left in the past and not revisited. Because it simply doesn't hold up. If you want to revisit that middle school teenage angst, go listen to Pantera or something, because this'll just make you cringe. 3/5: for nostalgia sake alone, not because it's any good.

#277. This is almost tolerable. Seriously, it's the best Smiths album I've listened to so far. Still not good, but you know, less painful to hear. The lyrics are pretty cringe, especially on the title track, but if you don't pay attention to them very much, it's almost halfway decent. 2/5: almost.

#278. Bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit are the reason why nü metal went the way of disco. Because like the dwarves in Moria, they delved too fast and too greedily into the cringe, and the public backlash was like the Balrog that came and killed them all. This is where a half star rating would come in handy though. Because 2 stars seems a bit harsh, bit 3 stars seems entirely too generous. Fuck it, I guess, I've given a bunch of mid ass albums 3 stars already, so I guess this isn't worse than those. 3/5: ok-ish

#279. There's no reason why I should like this dingy jazz club music, but it's giving a whole ass vibe, or whatever it is the kids say. I dunno, maybe it's because I'm hungover while listening to it, but it seems pretty alright to me. 3/5: pretty alright.

#280. A few pretty good songs, decent enough on the whole. 3/5: good

#281. Don't worry, I don't believe the hype. This shit is terrible. Flavor Flav is just as annoying as you'd expect, and almost all of the songs have some annoying high pitched squal as part of the beat. No fucking thanks all round. 2/5: noon, boi

#282. I mean, Peter Gabriel isn't very good at singing, but the rest of it slaps. 4/5: good

#283. It's Aretha Franklin. 4/5: great.

#284. This is in no way, shape, or form something that anyone needs to hear before they die. Every track on this album is skipable. 2/5: uninteresting.

#285. Yet another weak ass Bowie album. This one doesn't even have any of the hits to balance out the drivel 2/5: weaksauce

#286. I'm now convinced that the Beatles only sold so many records because that was literally the only way to listen to music back then. In today's age of streaming, I bet they'd struggle pretty hard. This is the fourth mid ass album of theirs I've had to listen to on this list so far, and I still haven't seen whatever it is the boomers saw in this band. 3/5: meh

#287. I've never listened to Muddy Waters before, and apparently that was a mistake. Every bit of this is nothing less than fantastic. 5/5: perfection

#288. This album sucks. Start to finish. Look, I get it he made it about his dead sin and all that, and that's fine if that helped him cope, but maybe he should have just had one copy made, and put it on his own shelf at home, and then carried on. 2/5: an extra star because I really quite like the album cover

#289. This is bad. Real bad. Borderline unlistenable. We are once again blessed with a one hit wonder's album that wasn't the one with said hit, and this time the results are atrocious. Please stop. 1/5: terrible.

#290. It's right. 3/5: decent

#291. This whole album is a bit "is this over yet?" This is the kind of shit you find for less than a dollar at used record stores in a desperate attempt to get rid of it. 2/5: yawn

#292. There's not really much I need to say. I thought it would be good, it was good. 4/5: yes

#293. This album starts off strong, but the B side is significantly less interesting. Good enough overall though. 3/5: acceptable

#294. The Weight is one of the best songs from the 60s, but the rest of the album isn't nearly as good. 3/5: fine

#295. I liked this slightly more than I liked Aja, but still kinda mid overall. 3/5: meh

#296. I don't know why there's so much Bowie on here when so much of it is trash. I've learned though that Bowie, like Dylan, should have quit while they were ahead in the early 70s, because there's not really anything particularly good going on after that. It's hard to pick a favorite song here, because none of them were even a little bit interesting. 2/5: please stop.

#297. I didn't expect that I would like this at all, but it turns out I thought it was pretty good. Better than their other album I listened to anyway. 3/5: egg

#298. I literally don't remember what this sounded like. I listened to this less than 24 hours ago and I've already forgotten it. I know it was hipster folk, which explains the forgettableness, but I don't remember hating any particular part of it either, so I guess it gets a meh out of ten. 2/5: meh

#299. Souther swamp rock from a band from... the Bay area. Makes sense if you don't look at it. It fucks either way, imposters or not. 4/5: chooglin'

#300. That's two albums in a row that have mentioned the word choogle. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice. 2/5: mediocre

#301. No where near as good as Alice in Chains Unplugged, but it'll do in a pinch, I suppose. 4/5: four

#302. This album can't really decide if it wants to be hippie music, or pop music. It's not really bad, technically, but it's very of its time, and is somewhat hard to get into if you're not already o diehard of the genre. A bit uninteresting to the casual passerby. 3/5: acceptable

#303. While I wouldn't pick this as their best album, I suppose I can see why it would be picked for this as training Blood is probably their most iconic song. But there are plenty of albums on here that are neither iconic nor good, so I dont know man. 5/5: it's Slayer

#304. This album is pretty long, but I wouldn't mind if were longer, if anything. Seems it's one of those things where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts, as no one piece stands out individually as being something you'd call amazing, but together they make something special. 5/5: perfect

#305. While most of the music on this list is from the US or Europe, it probably goes without saying that there's surely good and even great music from other parts of the world that are not being represented despite being as good or better than a lot of the stuff that did make the list. That being said, who the fuck am I to judge something when I have no idea the relevance or context of it. I'm sure someone else could tell you why this is or isn't great, but I cannot. 3/5: acceptable

#306. Not the best Creedence album for sure, but it's not bad. 3/5: decent

#307. This one is some generic middle of the road formulaic punk music. Like dictionary definition type stuff. Not really interesting to listen to though. 2/5: high school talent show type shit

#308. I could probably just say the same thing for all the Zeppelin albums on here. They're all fantastic, and there's not really any part of any of them that is bad or boring. Also, Tangerine is one of my favorite songs of theirs. That bass line usually get stuck in my head for a while after I listen to it. You know you're doing it right when you've got a guitarist like Page, and the bass is the part that sticks out. 5/5: perfect

#309. Pleasant enough, easy to listen to hippie music. 3/5: acceptable

#310. I have no idea about anything about this band, and instead of looking it up, I'm just going to make something up instead. I have decided that Spacemen 3 is in fact three aliens from space, who come from a place where music has never existed, and have tried their hand at the concept themselves. This isn't very good, but they're trying their best, OK? If they keep trying, maybe they'll make something actually passable as human music. 2/5: zeep zorp

#311. I remember one of my friends recommended I should listen to Sigur Ros one time when I was in high school. I don't remember which album it was, but it very well may have been this one. The time frame is right anyway. And I thought it was terrible. Hated it. [I think the only band he recommended that I liked was Coheed and Cambria] It's probably because I was only really interested in fairly aggressive music at the time. If it wasn't death metal or similar I had little interest. Perhaps it's because I'm a nearly 40 year old man now and the teenage angst has worn down a bit, but I quite liked this silly mellow bullshit this time. It's not my favorite or anything, but I don't hate it. 3/5: fine.

#312. Meh 2/5: nah

#313. Makes you wish all those songs were as good as Wild World. 3/5: acceptable.

#314. What has nine arms and sucks? Yeah, you guessed it- Def Leppard. Def Leppard sucks. This whole shitass genre of music sucks. All that glam band hair metal shit was a blight on the metal genre as a whole, and I for one am glad that annoying shit is long gone. They used to play almost all of these songs incessantly on the radio when i was a kid, but I'm pretty sure I haven't heard any of them since probably 2009. Maybe with any luck, it'll be 15 more years before I have to hear any one of them again. 2/5: shit

#315. When I saw this, my first thought was Ah, here we go again with some obscure, likely strange ass British shit no one's ever heard of. And as it seems, none of his songs popular on Spotify are even from this album. Is this yet another time when the characters making this list picked a one hit wonder, and then put a different one of their albums on this list instead? Yeah, I have no idea about the answer to that question because I've literally never heard this dude's name even once before, but what I can say is that this shit slaps. It doesn't seem to slot into any one genre neatly, but if anything that's for the better. I wish all the music on this list I've never heard of was as good as this, but the list creators would rather ear-rape me with Scritti Politti and the like instead. 4/5: fantastic

#316. This album is way better than it has any right to be. I couldn't tell you why it's so good, because in reality no part of it is particularly any better than any thing else out there, but it somehow manages to be greater than the sum of its parts. All of the rest of their albums are more or less exactly what you'd expect from them, but somehow this one manages to be something more. 5/5: fantastic.

#317. This album is fine, but kind of forgettable. Nothing at all really stood out as particularly interesting to me while I was listening to it. 3/5: acceptable

#318. Superstition is good, but the rest of it not so much 2/5: meh

#319. I agree with what everyone else said. 5/5: amazing.

#320. Some say Metallica sold out when they made a video for One, and some argue that they didn't, but it became very much clear that they did when the next album came out. Oh well, we can't have everything, I guess. At least we did have 4 great albums from them, each new one that came out better than the last, culminating with this masterpiece of thrash. 5/5: perfect.

#321. I've never heard of them before, but I thought it was decent. I can see why it wasn't as popular as other similar stuff, but there's nothing too bad here. 3/5: acceptable.

#322. If you look through all the albums I've rated three stars, probably about 83% of the time I just said some variation of "It's not bad, but it's not my favorite." Well, this wasn't bad, but it's certainly not my favorite. 3/5: fine

#323. I think its a bit obvious why she was a one hit wonder. All the rest of the songs here are honestly just kind of boring. The one song draws your attention as soon as it comes on, and the rest are just kind of... there. 2/5: meh

#324. Imagine if this guy remembered how to make good music after he left the Beatles. 2/5: unfortunate

#325. Gimme foo, gimme fie, gimme zabbadabbadie, ooh reaheah! Ok, ok, I'm sorry, but I couldn't help myself from mocking Jemes Hetfield's weird bullshit. He and Lars Ulrich are peak fucking cringe. And this weird ass shit was right at the height of it. I was like 13 when this came out, and even then I was like what the fuck is this. From the top floor of Cringe Tower, Metallica vomited this nonsense upon the world. And then about 5 minutes later they started suing their own fans, so they definitely can get fucked as far as I'm concerned. I honestly don't know how these are the same dudes that made all that good music in the 80s, were they always this retarded, and they just used to be good at hiding it or something? Who knows. All I do know is this shit is shit. 2/5: Good initiative, bad judgement.

#326. While playing the game Street Sk8er on the PS1 entirely too much back in middle school, I heard the Weston song 'Liz Phair' probably a hundred times and there's a line where he says "you look real pretty in your video/ and you write better songs than anyone I know," and while I can't speak to the first half, the second half has proven to be a lie. None of these songs are better than... anything. Now there was that one song she wrote that you couldn't get away from all year, but I know that's not the one he was singing about, because that song wasn't out yet. And about that, while we're on the topic, this is YET ANOTHER one hit wonder that they put on this list but they didn't choose the album that the one hit is on. Nah dog, just pick an album at random and throw it on there, itll be fine. Why has that happened so much so far on this list? Why do we treat the customers the way we do? Because fuck 'em, that's why. 2/5: mid af

#327. These songs all sound like songs from every 2000s teen movie soundtrack. 3/5: all that

#328. This gets lost amongst all the other generic hipster folk on this list. 2/5: minus one star for that atrocious album title. Do better.

#329. I don't know if this was intentionally made to sound like if Tom Petty made new wave, but that's what I'm getting from it. I know I should hate this, but for some reason I don't. 4/5: weird

#330. This is exactly as weird as you'd expect. No more, no less. 3/5: strange

#331. The Offspring is one of those bands I found it hard to get into with any seriousness. The singles are fine, but it's a bit much to want to listen to for a whole album's worth of time. Falls into the same category as Linkin Park and Rage Against the Machine and stuff like that, that I will never really have a desire to listen to, but I probably wouldn't put in the effort to change the station if it came on the radio. 3/5: fine

#332. There's three quite good songs on here, but the rest of it is pretty meh, honestly. Just generic 'we have to make enough to fill a whole album' kind of stuff. 3/5: acceptable

#333. Thank you for your patience. An associate will be with you shortly. 2/5: jazz

#334. Is this bad? It is not. Do I want to listen to it? I do not. 3/5: fine

#335. Decent enough, kinda background musicky. I didn't really like the first song all that much, and unfortunately that's about half of the fucking thing. I did think the rest of it was pretty good though. 3/5: decent

#336. This album is good, but damn these songs drag on too long. I think all of them could have been better if they were half length or shorter. 3/5: acceptable

#337. Aside from Jamaican Jerk, which is a terribly annoying song, the rest of it is pretty fucking good. 4/5: yes

#338. Who is this for? And also who decided this made the cut? There is no way anyone needs to hear this. Certainly no way anyone want to hear it either. 2/5: shit

#339. I don't quite know how they did it, seems impossible, but these guy managed to make something both progressive and samey. 3/5: fine

#340. Before listening to this album, the only thing I had heard from the Boo Radleys was a mediocre cover of an already mid song. Now that I have listened to more of their work, I want to listen to less of their work. It's pretty terrible, if we're being honest. 2/5: please don't.

#341. I'm not saying Hole is bad, I quite like some of it, but I am her to say they're overrated. Without her connection to Cobain, this middle if the pack band never would have been that popular and surely would have been one of the thousands forgotten. It's fine, but that's about it. 3/5: if I wanted to listen to a band that's more popular because of who the members were married to instead of on the merit of their music, I'd probably go listen to The Distillers anyway.

#342. What the fuck even is this? I was expecting disco, but what I got was like Laurel Canyon's worst secular gospel band. This shit is not for me. 2/5: yikes

#343. I feel like I should like this more than I do. Maybe I should have drank more yesterday, this seems like it would be nice hangover music. 3/5: acceptable

#344. Unsurprisingly the two songs listed on the album cover were the best ones. I quite like Get Me to the World on Time. The rest of it was alright, if a bit out there, but Toonerville Trolley I could have done without, if we're being honest 3/5: fine?

#345. It's fine? 3/5: ok

#346. I didn't hate this quite as much as I expected. I mean, I didn't really hate it at all, weirdly enough. Maybe just because I hate Elvis fans, I had assumed his music would be as cringe as they are, but it seems alright for the most part. And luckily, all the Elvis fans are dying off, so at least I have that going for me. 3/5: decent

#347. I was honestly this to be overhyped nonsense because he was dead like the Notorious BIG album, but nah this one's actually pretty good. 4/5: solid.

#348. I got about half a song in before I realized I couldn't do it anymore. Look, his voice is great right, he's a fantastic singer, but man this kind of music just ain't it. 2/5: don't want

#349. The music itself is peasant enough, if a little weird, but please tell me why does she look like Dr. Satan from House of 1000 Corpses? 3/5: wat

#350. I've never listened to an entire Soundgarden album before, and I didn't realize I already had heard that much of it before. I guess that just goes to show how much power and influence radio djs have over your musical knowledge and experience. I dig it, but not so much that I'd want to buy the album. 4/5: great

#351. I guess I never really thought about what British rap might sound like, but somehow this is exactly like what I probably would have guessed. 😂 Thanks guys, I really enjoyed this laugh on this early Monday morning. 🤣 Cheers, bruv, or whatever it is you say. 2/5: goofy ass shit 😂🤣😂

#352. Like all of Paul Simon's work, this is just bland. 2/5: meh

#353. It's exactly what you'd expect from a Talking Heads album. 1 or 2 good songs accompanied by a lot of weird. 2/5: meh

#354. A few good songs, but nor super impressive overall. It's OK. 3/5: fine

#355. It tricks you into thinking it's fine at first, but it failed to keep my interest for long. 3/5: acceptable?

#356. This one is tiresome and a bit difficult to get through. 2/5: no

#357. Jesus fuck, this is awful. This is just cheesy middle school teenage angst, as written by a weird dude in his mid 30s. Billie Joe Armstrong truly is cringe personified. Green Day should have just stopped after Dookie, that shit was a masterpiece. Or maybe after Nimrod at the absolute latest. The Warning/American Idiot/21st Century Breakdown era of Green Day was truly some of the worst music being played on the radio in the 00's [and that's saying a lot considering the Nickleback/Breaking Benjamin/Staind/Puddle of Mud butt-rock genre was topping the rock charts then]. Luckily the DJs picked up on that fact 10 years too late, and stopped really playing any of the music they made after that, but we were ear raped on a regular basis with those three shit heaps. There is really no redeeming quality to any of this album. I was fully ready to give this album 2 stars, but the more I type, the more I realize it doesn't deserve that much. Fuck em. 1/5: trash

#358. If ,like me, "She Don't Use Jelly" is the only Flaming Lips song you've heard, and you were wondering if maybe the rest of their songs were better... well, the short answer is: no. Sorry. 2/5: umm...

#359. Most of it was just alright, but a few pretty good songs in the mix. 3/5: good.

#360. Just more hipster folk drivel, that just sounds exactly like all the rest of the hipster folk on the list. The album cover is pretty cool. I really like that. 2/5: meh

#361. What country used to sound like before beer-flag-and-truck bro country took over. 4/5: more, please

#362. This was the first album I ever bought, and it seems I still like it just as much. 5/5: I dig it.

#363. Reminds me of The Traveling Wilburys or The Highwaymen. There's a good song in there every now and then, but you can tell they're having a lot more fun than we are. 3/5: decent.

#364. Pop music is pop music. It's always been the same. The music itself may sound slightly outdated, but add some synth sounds and some autotune and any of these could easily be a modern William Eyelash or Cathedral Moan song. Some things never change. 3/5: alright.

#365. I gave the other Van Halen album an extra star for not being the album Jump and Hot for Teacher are on, but unfortunately I can't do that for this one, and will give it the two stars it deserves. Also, side note: I listened to ABBA yesterday, and if I had a nickel for every time I had to hear a song about children wanting to bang their teacher, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened two days in a row. 2/5: trash

#366. So we're going to listen to the Meat Puppets. It's not the album with Backwater on it, which is the only song by them anyone likes, but it is the one with that Lake of Fire song that Nirvana covered at their MTV Unplugged concert. I always thought that cover sounded bad, but let me tell you what, the original sounded way worse somehow. Geez, wtf? I get the feeling when listening to a lot of Nirvana's music that Kirk O'Bane is trying to sound intentionally bad sometimes, and now I see that he's just trying to sound like his favorite band, the Meat Puppets, who were just accidentally bad. 2/5: shit

#367. This kinda reminds me of The Smiths a little, in a what if The Smiths weren't intolerable kind of way. Except Fools Gold, which doesn't sound anything like the Smiths, and is [coincidence or conspiracy?] the best song on the album. 3/5: tolerable

#368. This sounds a bit like a bastard love child of Kiss and The Ramones or something, and not in a good way [if there ever could be a good way] 2/5: pass

#369. It's weird, but I can dig it. 3/5: decent.

#370. This one definitely doesn't do it for me. It could be fine otherwise if not for the trumpet. That trumpet, or whatever it is, is terrible. It's more annoying than Bob Dylan's harmonicas. I really hate that bit. I would be willing to listen to a remastered version without the trumpet to see if I change my mind, but for now I hate it. 1/5: painful.

#371. Hey guys, did you know they were from California? 2/5: Road Trippin was good. The rest you can have

#372. Man, Iggy Pop is an ugly son of a bitch, and every time I look at a picture of him I regret having done so. That doesn't really have anything to do with my review, I just thought I'd put it out there. I did quite like this album though. I've never really listened to any of his music intentionally before, but it's liked it for the most part 4/5: fun

#373. This wasn't on Spotify, so I had to go find it on YouTube, which is terrible because I had YouTube and all their incessant ads. Anyway I skimmed through a bit on the first few songs, and then just noped on out of there. I don't know what this is, but you can miss me with that shit. 1/5: nah, dog
