ZZ Top2/5. La Grange is great. I didn't care much for LA Grange pts 2 through 13.
2/5. La Grange is great. I didn't care much for LA Grange pts 2 through 13.
Very 90s Brit Rock. Bitter Sweet Symphony is definitely the best song on the album. The rest is good, but not memorable. 4/5
Iconic. Back in the USSR, Revolution 1, Helter Skelter, While my guitar gentley weeps. Some odd songs in between. Album is a little bloated. 5/5
Its okay. Not that many memorable songs. I mean it is a landmark album for the genre, but I was not into it. 3/5.
Break on through, light my fire, the end. Enough said. 5/5
It was okay. Not the best work the kinks have done. Victoria was the high point. 3/5
Jazzy jazz. Felt very modern for its age. 4/5
Self esteem, come out and play, and gotta get away are classics. However, there is not a lot of song variety past that. Much of the album sounds the same. The offspring are better as a greatest hits album. 3/5
5/5. Masterpiece. Not a wasted song on the album.
I really don't care for his voice. Actually I did not care for the album at all. 1/5
Reminds me of Springsteen and someone else that I can't put my finger on. No song stood out for my. It isn't bad, but it did not do anything for me. Most of the songs feel like they were written for some poignant moment on a show. 2/5
He hit the high notes in Child of time O.o. Great live album. Would be better if they could've fit a few more different songs. Speed King x2 and Black Night x3 was a little rough. 4/5
It sounds like a very average 90s rock album. Distorted guitar ✅️ Angry/introspective lyrics ✅️ Basic song composition ✅️ Nothing stood out on the album. 2/5
Meh. Generic R&B. Not sure why it made the cut. 2/5
The songs with Thom York were the best. 3/5
Second half of the album is much stronger than the first. Number of the Best, Run to the Hills, and Hallowed be thy Name are all classic Maiden. 4/5
His earlier stuff is better. Black Skinhead was the only song I'd listen to again. Too many songs were about how great he is. Ugh. 2/5
There are a lot of good hardcore punk albums out there. While this one isn't bad, it wasn't notable in any way. All of the songs meld together. 2/5
It's okay. 3/5
I'm not a big U2 fan, but this album is incredible. One of the best side A's I've ever heard. 5/5
Aerosmith has always been more of a singles band than an album band for me. Toys in the Attic reaffirms this idea. Sweet Emotion and Walk this Way are classics. Most of the rest is forgettable. 3/5
I really liked this album. Would definitely listen to again. Moondance is the highlight of the record. 5/5
Cars is a bona-fide hit. The rest is terrible. It all sounded the same. It almost feels like he only wrote 1 song. 1/5
Not their best work. Running Free and Phantom are the best songs. Solid for its time. 3/5
Great album. Ginger Baker goes off. 5/5
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Felt like a run of the mill Willie album. 2/5 Update: this is a covers album? That knocks it down to a 1/5
It's a good record that got outshined by all of the other great records of the time. 3/5
Gabriel Genesis is much odder and proggier than post Gabriel Genesis. This album is really good, just not as good as the highs they reach later in their career. 4/5
This is terrible. Is it satire? It would make more sense if it was. But I looked the artist up, and not only is it not, the singer was in their 30s when they wrote this junk! 1/5
Loved it. A little too short. It clocks in at under 30 minutes. Great early modern folk. 5/5
I'm sure it's better if I gave it a closer listen and payed closer attention to the lyrics. Ultimately it sounds like every other Bob Dylan album I've heard. 3/5
The raincoat song was really good. This album is good for a rainy day and a sad mood. Musically it was bare and uninteresting. 3/5
Hey maan, remember that bad thing maan? Yeah man, preach. 2/5
Was this album titled low because it was the lowest part of Bowies career? Cause I like Bowie, and this ain't it. 1/5.
This album was pretty good. Fiona Apple has surprising range. 4/5.
2/5. Really not into the album at all. Thankfully it was short. It gets a bonus point for being a rap/hip-hop album with actual instruments.
Was this recorded on a microwave? It was absolutely terrible. There are countless examples of hard-core punk from that time period that are much, much better than this headache of an album. I'd give it 0/5 if I could.
Dancing Queen is a classic. The album is very good, but it didn't do much for me. 3/5.
Background music at best. And I love prog rock. 3/5
There are some absolute classic songs on this album. In many ways this was one of the moments that paved the way for raps dominance. That said, this album has not aged well. Many of the songs that broke ground don't really sound that good anymore. Walk this way is still a bop. 4/5
Probably the least weird Zappa album I've listened to. Some really odd instruments, some moments where I wondered if they were in tune, and some moments that I completely forgot to pay attention. I'll give it a 3/5
Maybe there was a good album here with a different singer, but I cannot stand Neil's voice. It is terrible, especially with this fake-grunge sound that he was going for. I almost turned it off. The music was uninspired and not noteworthy. 1/5.
Pretentious comes to mind when listening to Robert Wyatt sing(?) out of tune. I'm not sure if he is even capable of finding the tune, let alone be in it. The first track gave me some hope of a good album, but that hope quickly faded. 2/5 only because I enjoyed the sheep song.
No feelings either way. Nothing really stood out, nor was anything particularly bad. 3/5
Watch out, we have a badass here. O_O. The more I listen to rap, the more I am convinced that there is no such thing as a good rap album. Gin & Juice is good. The rest was tiresome. Dude leans too hard into his name, cussing and treating women as objects. 2/5.
It's a good album. I never got all of the hubbub about her voice. Some really good songs and some filler. 3/5
This is probably the peak of classic reggae for me. Bob Marley's best work and catchiest tunes. We be jammin! 4/5.
Its refreshing to hear a rap album with real instruments, unique song structure, and a message that isn't just sex or gang stuff. That said, he uses the n word way too much. It makes sense in some of the tracks, but not every third line. 4/5.
This isn't the Kinks best work. It is perfectly serviceable, but not a single sing stuck out. It all sounded so generically Kinks. 3/5.
Great album. Groundbreaking when it came out. Feel Good Inc and Clint Eastwood are clear standouts. 4/5 only because Demon Days is that much better
5/5. An almost perfect album. This is one of my favorite records of all time.
I liked Scenario. It was a good rap album for the era. 4/5
It is a good rainy day album. Kinda slow, kinda reflective. Not my favorite Coldplay record. 4/5...really 3.5/5, but rounding.

Utterly forgettable. I tried very hard to closely listen to this, and my attention just slide away every time. The songs sound very much the same. I'm sure a lot people like it. It is a very comfortable sound. Not for me though. 2/5.
Meh. Dreamy listless and forgettable. 2/5
1/5. Gangster rap really has not aged well. It's ultimately a collection of songs talking about how tough/cool/great he is.
4/5. Good album, better than I expected for something so popular.
I liked Power and Monster. The rest was okay. Kanye's earlier stuff is better. 3/5
1/5 What a boring forgettable album.
2/5 Pretty standard brit pop from the 90s.
2/5. I feel like this era of hip-hop is not aging well. The album was repetitive and not musically interesting.
3/5. A few really good songs. The stuff in between was forgettable. Very 80s.
4/5. Great album. All I knew about Jeff Buckley was Hallelujah, so this album was a pleasant surprise.
1/5 this album came out 20 years too late.
4/5. Am I becoming an Adele fan? There are some great songs on this record. Fantastic singer. The music can be a little boring and plain, but her voice and lyrics make up for it.
2/5. Should have edited out the talking bits. It cheapens the album. By a lot.
3/5. The album felt like it was out of the 50s. The opening track was the strongest, and it got weaker from there.
5/5. Great album. I'll listen to it whenever. King of pain was my jam for a while.
3/5 California Uber Alles and Holiday in Cambodia are both great examples of hard-core punk. The rest of the album is not as great.
3/5. It was alright. Too long by half. There was not enough song variety to justify the runtime.
4/5. Not quite a 5* album, but close. Lou Reed paved the way for alt and indie rock. Walk on the wild side is still excellent.
5/5. Not much can be said about this album that hasn't already been said.
2/5. Folk lives and dies by the stories the artist is trying to tell. Outside Me and Julio the stories just weren't doing it for me.
Lot of energy. Piece of my heart is always amazing. I don't always care for Janis' voice. She has a lot of volume, but not a lot of range. 3/5
2/5. It's okay I guess. I won't listen to it again though.
2/5 Brit-pop blur is my least favorite version of Blur.
4/5. Great album. The hits are timeless. It's the stuff in between the hits that drag it down a bit.
4/5 this is honestly better than a lot of his albums with the beatles.
3/5. Passable hard-core punk. Production was good. The tracks were a mixed bag.
2/5 meh.
4.5/5. An amazing start to one of the more dynamic rock bands of the 2000s-2010s. They are a little rough around the edges, but songs like Mardy Bum and I bet you look good on the dance floor are fantastic.
3/5.
2/5 serviceable R&B.
3/5. I liked Born in the USA. The rest was forgettable.
3/5. I respect the importance of Jerry Lee Lewis. He brought rock to the world. This live album was not the way to showcase him. It was really short, his singing was all over the place, and the recording quality was okay at best.
5 stars. No notes.
1/5. Oooo nooo! Watch out! He's such a badass. 😱😱 Really though I have such a hard time taking gangsta rap seriously.
4/5. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
3/5. I love Rio and Hungry like the wolf. The rest of the album did not stand out for me.
3/5. They are undoubtedly skilled musicians, but this entire album screams 80s bro in the worst way. Hot for Teacher was my highlight.
3/5. Love bad moon rising.
2/5. A whole album of songs that sounds like we got the beat is too much for me.
2/5 We have Led Zeppelin at home
3/5.
2/5. It's like watered down The Clash
3/5. Love roadhouse blues. The rest is okay.
3/5. Golden years was the standout song. Felt pretty run of the mill for Bowie.
4/5. Fun album. Teen me loved this album.
1/5 Why, of all of the music from India, was this album included? Bad sitar covers of popular songs does not make one of the albums you should hear before you die.
2/5. There are a few great songs here, but the style has not aged well.
4/5
3/5. Liked Take me to the river. The rest felt like background music.
2/5. It was music. Some okay, most not. A poor example of punk tbh
2/5. Meh
4/5. First half was definitely stronger than the second half.
3/5. Way too short to get any higher of a score. Pretty standard early 70s country.
5/5 Love it. Whole album is great. Knights is such an amazing stadium song.
3/5 it was okay. Nothing really stood out.
2/5. I'm not sure why this album was included. Nothing about it was unique or interesting, nor did it have any impact on the music scene.
3/5. I love song 2, and a lot of the rest is great. However, it feels like the record has a lot of filler.
4/5. I enjoyed this record. The sound quality was surprisingly good for the era.
4/5. Hendrix is great. This is probably my second favorite album of his.
3/5. I liked what I heard, but the whole album wasn't on Spotify.
1.5/5. It was too long, and most of it sounded the same.
3/5. Good album, but it was not a good day for me to hear it.
2/5. Not my cup of tea. Feels like I'd hear this at ren fair.
1/5. They all sound the same.
3/5. Some landmark hits that still have frequent radio play. I'm not a big fan though. The rhythm section might as well not exist, and I don't care for the singers voice.
2/5. I like the pixies, but this is not it.
3/5. A few great songs. A lot in-between.
Wow another mediocre brit pop band from the 90s. 2/5
2/5. Peter Gabriel Genesis is not my Genesis. #notmygenesis
3/5 It had its moments. Why did so many groups do an African music thing in the 80s?
2/5. How in the world does Fatboy Slim have 2 albums on this list?
3/5. Pretty average. It didn't do anything good or bad enough to gain or lose any points. *shrugs*
3/5. Feels like a poor man's Radiohead or Coldplay.
Much better than I expected. Stay With Me is fantastic.
2/5. I think it needed more atmosphere.
1/5. Maybe it would be higher if I could understand what he was saying (singing?).
1/5. I sometimes think the curator of this list is trolling.
2/5. Perfectly boring and unoriginal. Too long by half.
3/5
2
4/5. I'm not sure what just happened, but I'm pretty sure Mr. Gainsbourg just seduced me.
3/5. It has high highs and meh lows. Not Green Day's best or worst works.
2/5. I'm sure that this was revolutionary when it came out, but it just doesn't hold up.
2/5
Bro you sad. 3 stars.
4/5. Love Superstitious. Banger of an album.
4/5. Unique guitar solos. Very angry. Rare fusion of rock and rap that worked.
SPACE TRUCKING YEAH YEAH YEAH
2. More like 1.5, but I'll round up. I guess some people like this kind of music.
4 stars. Great album. Too short for 5 stars.
2. Boring neo new wave.
1/5. It's like if elevator music made love to a self important poet.
2/5. La Grange is great. I didn't care much for LA Grange pts 2 through 13.
4/5 Not Yes' best album, but it still has Starship Trooper and I've seen all good people.
2. It wasn't very good. Almost like a PG Dead Kennedys without the wit.
4
2
3. Too much noodling.
1/5. This just is not good. It isn't even good noise rock.
5/5. Groundbreaking album that still holds up.
5 stars. One of the all time great albums.
3/5. My dislike of Epic was balanced out by a good War Pigs cover.
1/5. There are so many great prog/experimental rock albums you could have had on this list. This is not one of them.
4/5
It was okay. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible 3/5
It's well made, but there is little variety between songs. It's just not my cup of tea. 2/5
1/5. It's like Father John Misty, but bad.
4/5
4
3/5. Uneven album. Their hits are great, but the album slogs at multiple points.
This is soo bad. 0.5 stars.
Not for me. I didn't like all of the interludes between songs.
Auto 4 just for Stan and The Way I Am. The rest is angrier than I remember. Unfortunately the album did not age as well as the hits did. You had to be alive at the time of recording to get most of the references. Because of those two things, it is getting a 3/5.
I was gonna give it three, but that guys' ripples are just too much.
Just no. What in the bloated mess is this? I'm not listening to all that. Get an editor. That goes for both the artist and the author of this list. 1 star.
It's such a whatever album. 2/5
It's okay. Nothing too memorable. 3/5
4/5
There are so many better metal bands and live albums that should be on this list instead.
The skits are unnecessary. It takes away from the rest of the album.
