4/5
"damn that shit was dope"
these beats go crazy. they do. not. do it like this anymore
The Prodigy
4/5
Banger after banger. Not a genre i typically listen to but holy hell these cats are cooking
This album makes me feel like im a cyberpunk vagabond outrunning the corpo police in the wastes
Amy Winehouse
3/5
What a beautiful voice. There arent a ton of tracks on this album i would listen to regularly but i can for sure appreciate how influential it is and its overall just a really tight, solid record.
CHIC
4/5
I’m a simple man. I just need the funk.
Nina Simone
4/5
Nina Simone will put a spell on your ass
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Some bangers for sure, but a bit long and noncohesive for my taste
The 13th Floor Elevators
2/5
Not the biggest fan of this one. Pretty samey and boring, no tracks particularly stood out to me
Cypress Hill
4/5
Not much to say on this one but i greatly enjoyed it
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
3/5
Not totally available on spotify :/ but i liked what i heard. Bring back this kinda country
Slayer
1/5
I am sorry, i really gave it a shot. I just cant get behind this sound.
The Black Keys
3/5
Wu-Tang Clan
5/5
Might be the best hip hop album ive listened to. All killer no filler. Incredible how much it holds up. Everyone is on their best game and the beats are groovy asf while not distracting from the lyrical complexity.
Einstürzende Neubauten
1/5
Actually the worst thing ive ever listened to. Not even music, just noise. Idgaf if thats the point, if you actually listen to this and enjoy it there is something wrong with you. Germans 🤝 committing atrocities
Johnny Cash
4/5
Man i miss when country was anti authority
Pretenders
3/5
Dennis reynolds would love these guys
Derek & The Dominos
4/5
Layla is the obvious highlight here but tbh the whole album is worth listening to. Some sick ass classic rock guitar riffs in here
Beck
3/5
Reminds me of a proto-alex g
I appreciate the sonic diversity and how many genres this guy blends. Not every song was a hit for me but not for any particular reason. Ultimately though i think i didnt totally connect with this album, but i appreciate it for what it is.
William Orbit
3/5
i think i like some funky electronica
Steely Dan
5/5
So many bangers in this one. Its just a tight groovy record and I cant really fault it for anything. Appreciated even more on a second or third listen too.
Billie Holiday
3/5
A beautiful voice, unfortunately i think a bit of a relic of its time. Easy listening and would play at a high class affair but any kind of variety would be nice
Little Simz
4/5
Little Simz’ flow and her production is immediately distinctive and excellent. I think i wish i clicked with her subject matter and style a bit more but i recognize this is a well made tight album
UB40
3/5
go white boys go
actually very groovy, i dig the political messaging
Duran Duran
4/5
Lowk a no skip for me 🫢
Malcolm McLaren
2/5
There are some sick asf beats in here ngl but its brought down by a lot of weird additions and apparently those are the only things this guy added sooo
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
4/5
Yeah this shit bangs
Paul McCartney and Wings
5/5
Paul proving he is the best beatle for 41 min. Dude just knows how to make an album. Band on the Run, Jet, mrs vanderbilt and nineteen eighty five are the highlights for me and the way he ties them into each other is soooo awesome
The Police
2/5
Yeah ngl i found most of this album aggravating as hell. Will probably never listen again. Message in a bottle is alright i suppose
Scissor Sisters
3/5
There’s some cool stuff in here. I would probably enjoy it more in a different mood
The Black Crowes
4/5
This one i thought was generic at first and then it grew on me. Sometimes you just need some blues rock. Dudes rock?
Daft Punk
4/5
Around the world around the world around the world around the world
Doesnt reach discovery levels for me but a jam all the way through
The The
4/5
Judging by the reviews on this one people either love it or hate it. I was totally expecting to be part of the latter but i am not. Really loved heartland and angels of deception
3/5
I thought this was just okay. Hope the next one is not punk
Violent Femmes
5/5
Incel coded perhaps… but i *am* in my incel arc.
Totally understand why someone would hate this. But the raw recording and singing style i think perfectly fits with the subject matter of the album. Its weird and zany and creepy at times but it just somehow does it for me, with some truly banging tracks.
Terence Trent D'Arby
3/5
This was definitely okay. It has a few bangers. Some of the production didnt do a lot for me though
PJ Harvey
4/5
This was pretty sick a kinda folky indie vibe i really like. Loses a few points for a terrible album cover and being all about england
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Extremely 80s. Up to you if thats good or bad. It works for me on a few tracks and doesnt on others. But overall this had more hits than misses. First song blows tho
Booker T. & The MG's
3/5
Getting chased ahh music
Slipknot
2/5
I think its a testament to slipknot that i dont totally hate this. But unfortunately its just one of those few genres i cant totally get behind the sound of. Well made but i would probablu never listen to again
The The
5/5
Crazy to have another the the album so soon. But i am not complaining, This is incredibly good. I liked infected but this is just a bit more of what i like. Banger after banger
Foo Fighters
2/5
Never listened to foo fighters before surprisingly. Cant say im a fan. This sounds like if i prompted AI to make the most generic sounding garage rock imaginable.
The Who
3/5
This is fine. Not very memorable tbh
Harry Nilsson
4/5
This one is a bit weird, kinda all over the place. Coconut is goofy but without you slaps
The Icarus Line
3/5
This one is weird. I could see myself liking it given enough listens but its not pleasant enough tor me to want to do that
Kanye West
5/5
Been a while since i listened to this one all the way through. How does one man make so many hits. Its just ludicrous no pun intended
Gillian Welch
4/5
Really love this style of country. She has a beautiful voice perfectly suited for these songs
Milton Nascimento
3/5
Bob Dylan
5/5
What can you even say about nobel laureate robert zimmerman. Rife with biblical allusions and poetic turns of phrase, this album is folk at its best.
3/5
Interesting. I have never properly listened to U2. In my head they occupied the same place as coldplay and maroon 5 that are super popular bands but kind of creatively devoid. This album definitely shows me that they are a little more worth their salt than that, but ultimately i think their kind of sound isnt exactly up my alley (i think mostly due to bono’s singing). But i recognize that this is a good rock album, and i appreciate the conceit of the album and its lyrical subject matter.
Queen
5/5
Such a treat to relisten to this. I think this generator thinks my least favorite album is rock which maybe it has a point but you really cant beat rock like this. Just an awesome record through and through. Some highlights beside the obvious include death on two legs, ‘39, and the prophets song (such an epic song, not for regular everyday listening)
The Cure
4/5
Yeah this is great. M has been a fave for a while but the whole album is awesome
The Kinks
3/5
I didnt think i would like this but i did. Kinda early beatles vibe. Will definitely listen more in the future
The B-52's
3/5
Its like almost too weird… almost, but savef by how much it rocks
The Vines
4/5
I feel like this is how you do garage rock effectively (take notes foo fighters). Theres some awesome tracks in here and a much more effective delivery of rage for me than other things that try to do the same thing
OutKast
4/5
Damn. This one is a bit tough for me because speakerboxxx is probably the easiest 5 ive come across yet. Everything from the beats, to the production, the flow, the lyrics, the features are all incredible. That being said i enjoyed the love below slightly less. Its good dont get me wrong but its a different vibe i jive with slightly less. Id give it a 3 so ill avg it out to a 4
Nirvana
4/5
There is a lot that i can say about this album, but i will just leave it at that it is one of the purest forms of music as self expression i have heard
The Streets
1/5
Jesus christ.
Living Colour
4/5
Damn. This is why i am doing this proj. For as many stinkers on the list something will come out of nowhere and surprise you. Was fully expecting to hate this. Metal/hard rock from the late 80s? Hard pass. I was thinking i was gonna have my first double 1s two days in a row. But nay! As i start listening i realize that its like they took all the parts of rock that i like, trashed all the parts i dont, and then injected some funk (which of course makes anything better). Shit had me grooving and moving my whole commute home. Varied, interesting, just plain fun to listen to. There were so many times i wanted to rewind to catch a part that made me go “damn wtf??” but in a good way. Trying to find a flaw but i cant, I love it
Run-D.M.C.
3/5
Its good, but i think its just a bit dated. Worthwhile to listen to as a cultural artifact.
Serge Gainsbourg
2/5
What the hell is this. What are we doing here. Its not like it has zero musical merit but definitely not enough to make up for how creepy it would make me feel to listen to this regularly. Why is he so close to the mic. God damn the french
Can
3/5
Was not expecting to enjoy this. Def gets a bit too experimental at times but never too unpleasant (maybe a bit on peking o) and overall its pretty cool. Would listen again
David Bowie
4/5
Shrek song shrek song
Andy warhol is a cool song
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
3/5
Wtff not avail on spotify
yeah not sure about this one. You def have to be in low spirits to engage with this. I love the vocal quality and some of the instrumentation. I think the electric bass on a few of the tracks wasnt the best fit. I also found the lyrics overly trite and simplistic sometimes, idk there is just a lot of other lyricists who do this but better. Didnt love it, didnt hate it.
LCD Soundsystem
3/5
On paper this is something i should love and given how many good things ive heard of lcd soundsystem i expected to like this more. Theres a lot of cool stuff ab it but tbh i have to agree with a common sentiment in the reviews that finds this repetitive. Normally i like repetitive music (see: daft punk) but something about this one was kinda boring me halfway through. Will still give other works of his a shot but left a bit underwhelmed
Hookworms
3/5
Theres some cool stuff in here! Was it totally memorable though? Not rly
The Band
2/5
more like the bland etc
Queen
4/5
So awesome
Quicksilver Messenger Service
3/5
Didnt hate it some cool prog rock stuff but overall just okay
Michael Jackson
5/5
Not a single bad or lukewarm song
Dion
4/5
Extremely easy listening
Air
5/5
Amazing incredible astounding innovative
Abdullah Ibrahim
4/5
Really really nice jazz. Listenable yet still very varied and free
Alanis Morissette
4/5
Great stuff
Fela Kuti
5/5
This is absolutely scrumptious
The Flying Burrito Brothers
3/5
Pretty nice. Worth another listen
Various Artists
4/5
Theres a cynical trend of hating christmas music that seems to come around every year, but i think its wonderful to have a canon of songs everyone knows and can sing together during a time when its important to connect to each other beyond the superficial. Traditions and rituals are largely lost to us as a society, but christmas songs are perhaps one of the last vestiges of that. That being said this has the definitive renditions of so many of these that youre never going to be amiss putting this on at a holiday party. The one original is a banger as well and has since become a classic in its own right, something many christmas albums fail to do so on that alone i must commend it. Merry christmas to all and to all a good night
John Lennon
2/5
Yeah sounds like john lennon
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
3/5
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
I think i need to be in a different sort of mood to properly revisit this. Some of these songs give me anxiety for some reason
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
4/5
Take five is one of the most amazing pieces of music to ever exist
The Fall
2/5
Shit sucks!
The Kinks
4/5
High 3.5 rounded to a 4. The kinks will never be my favorite band but they occupy a niche and dammit they occupy it well
Elbow
3/5
Hmm i think its ok
Sepultura
2/5
Might start having to skip metal albums. These just do absolutely nothing for me. Not the worst thing ive ever heard though
Michael Kiwanuka
5/5
Incredible from start to finish. A masterwork
Aphex Twin
4/5
Not always a fan of ambient music but this hits
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
This is incredible. I had heard a few songs from this which i liked but the entire thing is nonstop quality. An amazing feat for such a long album.
Pentangle
4/5
If i was at a tavern in the 1500s and this came on i would get sooo jiggy with it you dont even know
John Martyn
3/5
I liked this. Could understand why some dont but it jives with me
Nine Inch Nails
3/5
Not my personal vibe but i see the vision
The Notorious B.I.G.
4/5
Genre defining tbh. Could use maybe one less skit of biggie nutting in my ear tho maybe
Silver Jews
4/5
This shit is awesome
If you inject enough brood and atmosphere into country rock it turns good apparently
Hawkwind
3/5
Gonna have to come back to this one to finish it, its a long one. maybe i just want to like this because the album cover but i do kinda think it goes hard, a lot of the progressions are very satisfying. Definitely best enjoyed high. High potential for a 4
Stevie Wonder
5/5
God this is just heavenly.
Electric Light Orchestra
5/5
We are very blessed that this exists
Prefab Sprout
3/5
Ah, new wave. Out of all the new wave albums on this list so far this is definitely on the higher end. Quintessentially 80s without being egregious, the softer tones of this album has helped it age better than a lot of its contemporaries. It starts off unique and engaging but the second half of the album is filled with mostly samey songs. Bonny is incredible though.
The Temptations
3/5
The White Stripes
2/5
Just not worth listening to imo. A couple okay songs but mostly boring throughout. Nothing interesting really done in the whole thing. Never gonna revisit tbh
Afrika Bambaataa
2/5
Yeah its just a bit dated. Im sure its revolutionary for its time
Aimee Mann
4/5
The global reviews are tripping on this one. This is a lot better than some of the shit a lot of you give 5s to 🤨
Beatles
4/5
My 100th album is also the first (of many) beatles albums on this list. How serendipitous.
Not my fave beatles but these guys are something else hope they catch on 🙏
Neil Young
5/5
One of my favorites, a lovely record through and through. Perfect for crooning and yearning
Taylor Swift
2/5
Listen, im not a T Swift hater alright. And i fully recognize that this is an album meant to encapsulate pop and produce hits and that it did. But to me, it succeeded so well that its to its detriment. These are very surface level pop songs that i have heard so much since they came out that i would be perfectly fine never hearing them again, and would prefer it for a few of them (bad blood and shake it off). Also, people say this is supposed to be an homage to the 80s sound but i honestly barely hear it, i think it has too many of the trappings of mid 2010s pop songs that will age these songs worse than they would otherwise. Its not objectively bad by any means, theres a few more underplayed songs i enjoy, but for me personally im never gonna want to put this on.
GZA
4/5
Incredible. Cant wrap my head around the lyricism and flow. Very glad that i got 36 chambers before this for context. Only reason it doesnt get a five is that i saw a comment saying that rza tends to leave in way too much skit and filler in the songs themselves which makes just listening to the songs difficult but its a very minor critique. Also BIBLE is probably the best song on this but it isnt even GZA lol. Amazing nonetheless 4.5
Guided By Voices
3/5
I like the lo fi sound but thats about it, lyrics and vocals leave a lot to be desired
Neil Young
5/5
Another neil young so soon, i was worried it would be too similar to harvest. However, super happy to be wrong. This has a rock flair to it that sets it apart from Harvest easily and still is killer. The highlight is Southern Man for me, but the entire thing is fantastic.
Death In Vegas
4/5
What a journey with this one. At first i really didnt like it, the first song left me unimpressed and the second song i actively didnt like. Then the build up to Aisha really convinced me, the way it starts off noisy and industrial but very gradually starts introducing catchy riffs until it reaches critical mass and then just rips into rock, and then the come down from aisha feels like an epilogue. The album would be 5 stars if soul auctioneer and broken little sister werent on it. Still, impressive that it managed to win me over. 4 stars
The Cure
4/5
This is really really awesome. What i appreciate most about the cure is how they arent afraid of any sound and fully embrace the spectrum of rock and that shows here. They created entire soundscapes with this album. Def my favorite of theirs so far.
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
The back of this album really saved it. Its not bad!
Primal Scream
2/5
Definitely more interesting than i expected this being, but it couldnt hold my attention all the way through
Beatles
5/5
Easy 5. I mean on importance alone there isnt this list without this album. Plus its full of hits. I love this one. In my life, girl, what goes on, norwegian wood 🔥
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Pretty groovy. I like it. 3.5
The Smiths
4/5
Whiney af! Still awesome tho. I dont love morrissey’s voice but the rest of the band makes up for it. They have a lot of bangers it cannot be denied
David Bowie
2/5
Honestly maybe its musical sacrilege but i kinda thought this was mid af. I feel like i am very forgiving when it comes to experimental ambience but the back half of this feels like a slog tbh. I like the last song a lot though
Radiohead
5/5
Yeah. This is a total masterpiece. Really incredible, as close to a perfect album you can get.
Stephen Stills
4/5
Damn! A lot of stills, nash, crosby, & young joint and solo projects on here. Id complain but i like pretty much all of them. This is not an exception
The Divine Comedy
2/5
Terrible, boring, uninspired gen x love songs. Shit sucks! Only doesnt get a 1 because some of the instrumentation is decent and its short af
Green Day
4/5
This is the kind of music i thought cool kids listened to when i was about 6-9. You know, the ones that had bunk beds and tvs in their room. Honestly really fun. Hadn’t listened to green day outside of american idiot and i can see why they took off, its just pretty great pop punk. Basket case and sassafras roots are highlights for me.
Calexico
5/5
Bluesy, folksy, country, latin infused indie rock. This shit rocks. Its just exactly what i needed. Its not a 5 as in its perfect but its a 5 as in where has this been all my life
The Monks
3/5
Very ahead of its time, thats for sure, but doesn’t necessarily translate to a sound i particularly love listening to.
Joni Mitchell
4/5
Lovely instrumentation. Creates sweeping landscapes with its sound and really captures the open road feeling she intended. Beautiful lyrics as well. The delivery however often plays fast and loose with the meter which this album made me realize is important to me, only part i dont love, just feels a bit slam poetry-y. 3.5 rounded up
A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
This album feels like they sonically embodied new york. Starts off a bit slow for me but then the beats and lyrical flow find a perfect rhythm that i really love. Above all its fun as hell
Tom Tom Club
3/5
Really fun. Some songs i recognized i didnt know where from here. Will definitely be listening again.
Joni Mitchell
4/5
Like this more than hejira. Less spoken word poetry, more fun country sound. Love it
Common
5/5
smooth lyrical flow from common feat. kanye at the top of his production game. Honestly dont know what else i can ask for in a hip hop record, its like it was made for me. This shit is beautiful and amazing and im so glad to have discovered it.
Kings of Leon
3/5
I liked it! Not quite a 4 but not too far off. Some songs i liked quite a bit
Fatboy Slim
3/5
Some danceable funky beats in here, i liked it. Dont think it needs to be 58 min long tho
Incredible Bongo Band
3/5
Not enough bongos…
Cool to see where some samples came from tho
Bob Dylan
4/5
No one makes me stop and listen to the lyrics as much as bob dylan does.
2/5
Found this so boring. Like the eagles but worse. NEXT!!!
John Martyn
3/5
Giving this the same score i gave the other john martyn. This is music that should be good in theory, like it tries different stuff and none of it is bad but its just kinda eh. Two albums by this guy is enough. Also, hate his voice. Hope this mid ass streak ends soon
Talking Heads
4/5
Cool, hadnt heard much talking heads before. Will listen to that one album everyone loves
Sonic Youth
4/5
Some really high highs in here. The guitarwork and sheer musicianship on display is outstanding. Conversely, some moments i dont love. But the highs are high enough to make up for it. Really interesting listen
The Byrds
4/5
I really enjoyed this. I can understand why some people may think this is derivative of other artists of the time but to me they sound very much like their own thing. Experimental while still be listenable, good fusion of psychedelic rock and folk with a hint if jazz. Def above avg summer of love fare. Favorite songs: renaissance fair, my back pages, it happens each day. S/o to the alien at the end of CTA
Sepultura
2/5
Okay honestly not as bad as i was expecting. The brazilian funk elements do add quite a bit. But its still screaming metal so not for me
David Bowie
3/5
I do like this one, the funkiness makes it a lot more fun for me. But I think bowie's voice makes it so that i would rarely wanna put it on.
Guns N' Roses
4/5
Surprising, did not expect to like guns n roses. this album is just straight rock. A good amt of bangers on here, Sweet child o mine is such a great song
Julian Cope
3/5
Really not sure how to feel about this one. One would hope that in a 2 hr long album there would be at least some songs you like, and luckily that is the case. But not sure the length is justified. Some real draggers on here, but i appreciate it trying different things? I guess
The Doors
4/5
Its good! Dont love all the songs, but its a good time
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Really glad i gave this one another listen. With someone as masterful at the guitar as hendrix, its his subtlety when he could be ostentatious that exemplifies his brilliance. The delicate balance he strikes between his guitar playing and the rest of the instrumentation is remarkable, and it allows those great guitar riffs to shine through all the more. Really love the infusion of bluesy and psychedelic sounds too. Its a little long for me to be a 5, but its close.
Peter Frampton
4/5
Really rocking live album. That closer song is just one wild ride. Hadnt heard peter frampton but i get the hype.
Weather Report
3/5
Inbetween tracks to the sitcom of my life
Johnny Cash
4/5
Harrowing album. A man in the end of his life, with all the pain and memories that come with that. Truly beautiful
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
3/5
Pretty boring blues, better performed by someone who has a soul. Some guitar stuff is cool tho
Arcade Fire
4/5
This was awesome…
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
Just really fun 80s pop whats not to like
Skepta
1/5
Oh nah bruh
Likes: some of the beats i guess
Dislikes: british rap is cringe
Maybe biased against the accent but i really think these bars are lazy, and the incessant repeat of a rap chorus (which i dislike already) in every single song makes it worse. Not for me.
Joy Division
3/5
Man i really wanted to love this and buy into the hype but i cannot get into it despite trying 3 times. Some tracks i like and the guitar droning i vibe with but something about the vocals grates on me. I feel like the cure does this but better in disintegration.
Alice Cooper
3/5
actually pretty interesting, a cool blend of rock and sometimes jazzy, psychedelic. not bad
Fatboy Slim
4/5
Repetitive? Yea, but honestly through this whole thing i was never bored. Damn do i like fatboy slim? Embarrassing
Air
4/5
Didnt think movie soundtracks would be on here! But this is a pretty good choice for onr. I should probably watch the movie lol but there are some killer tracks. Didnt like it as much as moon safari tho
Travis
4/5
This and radiohead can coexist!! Musicbros stay mad
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Funky and groovy, which im never gonna rate poorly, however just a tad dated i think
The Associates
2/5
Huh this is what its like when i dont like pretty much every musical decision made in a project
The Magnetic Fields
3/5
Hard to score, because its obviously not meant to be listened to all the way through. And i think i respect it enough for its commitment to the bit. Not all songs are killer but some are and thats an achievement.
Wilco
5/5
Wow, what a total masterpiece. Had heard a lot of good things so expectations were high but it delivers. Incredibly inventive instrumentation, lamentful lyricism, catchy tunes. This one will be going in the rotation for sure.
Elliott Smith
4/5
Extremely beautiful. Very sad, not always the vibe, but when it is, it hits. Love between the bars
Michael Jackson
5/5
A stark reminder of why he is the king and will probably never be dethroned. Wall to wall bangers. Fantastic album.
The Shamen
3/5
Pleasantly surprised, actually quite groovy and fun. Bit long
Supergrass
5/5
God, these guys have such a fresh youthful energy, you can tell theyre just making the music they want to hear. This album is such a pleasant surprise. definitely a high 4.5 to maybe 5, but need to listen to it more. Really awesome stuff
Klaxons
4/5
Really cool esoteric concepts, fun guitar riffs. Cant help but like this quite a bit, bonus points for not overstaying its welcome
ABBA
4/5
Pretty perfect pop album
The Stone Roses
5/5
I love this one. I love how many directions it goes. Purely coincidentally i got elizabeth my dear pop up in my recommended and so i thought this was going to be more of a folky album, which i wouldnt have minded, but how many genres they go through and do it all well makes this one special to me. To be able to do folky ballad and then funky breakdown in the same album is exactly what i crave. I love the laidback guitar and how it doesnt feel dated at all. Love
Arcade Fire
3/5
Its quite good. Not much to say, third arcade fire already and they deliver but seems a bit odd
Shack
2/5
Not objectively bad, but pretty boring. Wished i was listening to the stone roses again tbh.
Manic Street Preachers
2/5
Save me from mediocre britpop hell
The Temptations
3/5
Pretty nice funk, but nothing stood out too much.
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
Okay bruce i see you, post 9/11 and all
Ministry
2/5
Not my jam but didnt hate it!
Hüsker Dü
1/5
Sooo boring, every song sounds the same. Couldnt finish. Sucks.
Fats Domino
3/5
Just some easy listening
David Bowie
3/5
Album cover is such trash.
Its fine! Too much bowie itll turn me into a hater
Tears For Fears
4/5
So many hits! That big chair goated
Beatles
5/5
Total masterpiece alert!! The beatles ability to experiment and play around with different sounds and have it sound good is something to be studied. The first side has a ridiculous amount of bangers (dont love maxwell’s hammer tho sry paul), and i absolutely love side 2’s medley, just the gang flexing their raw musical talent. Only complaint is that her majesty should have gone in its original placement and it should be twice as long, that song is awesome. Even still, fantastic album.
New York Dolls
2/5
Didnt really feel this, sorry. The history sounds cool but i wouldnt listen to any of these again.
Billy Bragg
3/5
I enjoyed it! Not sure what people are talking about with the voice its not THAT bad. And the guitar work is pretty nice
Boston
4/5
Awesome dad rock. How anyone could dislike peace if mind is beyond me
The Smiths
5/5
Not my favorite smiths, but too many bangers for it not to be a 5
Baaba Maal
3/5
Very interesting, haven’t listened to much of this kind of music before. Some pretty awesome tracks
Cornershop
2/5
I made it like 3 songs in, saw the length, ahd dipped. Aint no way bruh
Janis Joplin
4/5
Sing it janis!!
Deee-Lite
3/5
Groovy, but a bit annoying at times
Steely Dan
4/5
Not quite as good as cant buy a thrill but many classics on here
2/5
Wow!!! So boring and so mid. Next!!!
The Velvet Underground
4/5
Awesome!!!
The Go-Betweens
3/5
Kinda like off brand the smiths, but not bad!
Big Black
1/5
Horrible, intentionally abrasive and not good. Didnt like it
The Zombies
3/5
Sounds like the beatles but probably the only remarkable thing about them.
Richard Hawley
3/5
Really, its quite nice. Beautiful and obv deeply personal to the artist. However, a tad boring, and there are probably many more albums that deserve inclusion over this one. The author’s heavy british bias has manifest itself supremely these last few albums, and every day i am just grateful its less british mid i have to listen to later.
Django Django
3/5
Started off fairly interesting but pretty quickly lost my interest after that.
Bob Dylan
4/5
Really awesome, i love how country blues this one feels. Still think i prefer highway 61
Portishead
4/5
An awesome, jazzy fusion. Really enjoyed it, roads is absolutely incredible
The Smiths
4/5
A few misses short of a 5, but awesome. I love the smiths!!!
Jerry Lee Lewis
3/5
Its good, but the sound is too dated for me to want to listen to it regularly.
Metallica
3/5
Totally get why someone would love this tbh, great fusion of metal rock and orchestral. Entirely too long for me tho
Jimmy Smith
4/5
Sound track for a high class affair
Led Zeppelin
3/5
Babe im gonna leave you rocks, the rest im mostly ambivalent about. Glad i listened tho
2/5
Yeah i gave it a shot but i have to be at least three times as musically ascended to appreciate this
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
Groovy as hell!
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
3/5
Songs to roam the wasteland to
Echo And The Bunnymen
2/5
Can we please get some more english new wave up in here i feel this list is lacking
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
Ngl, very hesitant about this album because i kinda see the chili peppers as this redditor millennial band but this really managed to surprise me, the album’s reputation is deserved there are some true hits. At least, the first half. The second half really falls off. If it was just side a this would approach a 5 but as it stands i have to give the whole thing a 3
David Ackles
2/5
Found this trying way too hard to be americana and with none of the soul
DJ Shadow
4/5
Was familiar but the whole thing is really impressive. Feels like a symphony
Throbbing Gristle
1/5
Yeah no fucking thanks
The Clash
2/5
God this sound is so boring to me. Music is so much better now its crazy
Faust
4/5
Absolutely fascinating sound. Weird and experimental but never too far from listenable, these guys understand music at a very fundamental level. Really cool.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
Not bad, a few hits. Thought this was gonna be worse than it is.
Kanye West
5/5
I will just always love this album. From start to finish a gambit of the fullest extents of kanye’s mind and emotion. Heartfelt, powerful, masterful production and killer verses. Its a masterpiece
Talk Talk
3/5
Its decent but nothing blew me away
The Offspring
3/5
This whole thing has made me realize that the pop punk sound, while i can appreciate it, is just not really for me. Maybe i would have loved this had i discovered it as an angsty 14 yo. As an angsty 23 yo tho i just wish for a more complex sound. Its not terrible though and some songs definitely hit.
Solomon Burke
4/5
Such a lovely voice and a great vibe. Wouldnt put this on to listen to regularly but def for a romantic eve
Nirvana
4/5
Famously i am not a nirvana but this is just a good album
Billy Joel
5/5
Hit after hit!!! Incredible stuff billy
Moby Grape
4/5
Did not expect to like a group called moby grape… probably the reason they didnt take off tbh. But they make some nice sounding music.
Kraftwerk
4/5
It was definitely some interesting stuff going on here, felt symphonic at times. Warrants another listen
Sleater-Kinney
2/5
I know people that would love this but i found it mostly annoying :/ sry

Muddy Waters
3/5
Classic blues
Burning Spear
3/5
Havent listened to a lot of reggae but this is very good
Paul McCartney
4/5
Saw a review that said this was more of a sketchbook than an album. I totally agree, but while i think that person meant it negatively, i think its awesome
The xx
4/5
Actually surprisingly really enjoyed this. The minimalist production is really nice and some songs are bangers!
The Yardbirds
2/5
Started off kind of interesting, but this flavor of british psych rock is just so samey

Fire. Kinda radioheady but its own thing. Really cool and varied

Obviously extremely influential, the start of their sound experimentation, some true bangers, not the height of their discography due to some duds
New Order
