I've been aware of the Allman Brothers all my life, apparently in name only. What a great album and an instant classic to be sure.

A meandering pile of ocean trash. Gave me a deeper appreciation for silence.

5 Classic and personal fave.

Great value Wilco.

Well I guess after enough Nick Cave albums I finally like him!

Underwhelming overall, but some solid hits.

Very catchy songs that take no time sticking with you.

All-time classic. I was 16 when this came out and still listened to it through the years very frequently.

Excellent album with way more well known songs than I realized.

Not really my jam. Somehow indie arena rock is just not a thing for me.

All the good songs were already well played and certified hits. The album as a whole was a bit of a disappointment

Makes me want to watch the animated LOTR movie. Did not age well overall, but still an enjoyable listen.

Beck refuses to be classified. Love this album.

Album won me over on the end. It was a hard start, but once you settle into the mood it's enjoyable. It stands on it's own and won't make it onto many playlists with multiple artists, but if you're in the mode for haunting, moody, music to focus with, this is the one.

What an unexpected treat.

Have to admire the craft, however this really does not age well.

Classic. Solid 5. I was super excited when this album came up for listening and enjoying it through the years but it had been a long time since listening straight through. Still finding new things to appreciate about it and see its influence on other groups.

Oof.

80's pop personified.

Bass lines on every song are fantastic.

Wonderful album. Glad to have finally listened to it.

So hard to separate the art from the artist. Automatic 1 point reduction for an all time classic album.

The originals! Easy 5

Fantastic from start to finish.

Hit after classic hit. Easy 5.

A lot to like here.

Really impressive for its time and had held up well over the years.

A pleasant surprise. I've definitely slept on Neil Young over the years. Looking forward to digging further into his works.

Classic forever.

Interesting but extremely hard to categorize. Felt more like a personal demo take ofunfinighed songs for the majority of the listen.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Like going to church. Not a good one.

Good Lord, why is this listed here? It's like having your drunk uncle grab the karaoke machine crooning for an hour of cringe lyrics.

Decent, but one hit seeing does not make a hit album.

All-time classic and pinnacle of hip-hop.

Hit after hit. Beck never disappoints.

Beautiful songs

Classic album. Easy to listen through start to finish anytime.

Easy 5. 1994 was an amazing year for great music across all genres.

3.5 last track is a nice surprise

Mellow, but unremarkable overall.

Even being a huge fan of them, the album has not aged well over the years and feels quickly repetitive. 3.75

Come on! 3.5

Easy listening. Really grows on you.

Live tracks were great!

Scottish Wilson Phillips singing in Simlish.

Classic

About as out there as you can get. I've never done. Such a 180 on an album before.

Easy 5 and new favorite album!

I just cannot with her octave changes

Majority of the album is missing from YouTube music.

I keep trying and keep hearing how good Steely Dan is, but I'm just not hearing it here. They don't seem to be able to decide what kind of music they're playing and I appreciate most experimental attempts usually.

Aside from the first track, there's no reason this album should be on this list.

Did not age well, but great to hear the oldies.

2.5

3.5

3.5

4.5. I had no idea this was released in 79. Timeless.

Ahead of their time.

4.5 it's a shame that so many tracks are missing from this album. No matter what streaming service you use. Making a note to pick up the LP.

2.5

A surprising amount of beatboxing used as Base beats. What I enjoyed most however, was the native language saw with no beats and only vocals.

Solid 4

Garage honkeytonk with some punk more than blues, but it just doesn't click.

Solid 3. Enjoyed the slower songs, but there's a reason there are not many hits on this one. At least. None that I could divine.

2.5. Great Value The Strokes. Honestly, no reason for them to be on this list. When you can just listen to The Strokes.

Surprising much I enjoyed pre-disco rod Stewart.

Whole lot of saxophone in that ska. Very enjoyable

Kraftwerk did it better a decade earlier

A nice surprise that doesn't quite hit a 4

2.5 60's Ren faire folk doesn't age well for a full album. There were a couple tracks that stood out

Barely a 2

Wonderfully Bluesy

Interesting, but unfocused.

5! 10! 100! Best of all time?

Classic, but the lyrics are not aging well

2.5

So many hits from the same band that I never realized.

Jack never fails to deliver.

Unremarkable. Nothing terrible,but nothing stood out.

Don't know why, but this band has never really clicked with me. I have enjoyed their collaborations with other artists though.

3.5 but Where Is My Mind kicks it to a 4

3.5

3.5. nothing wrong with it, just too many renn faire 60s albums already

Classic. Delightful.

Just not clicking. 2.5

A surprising find and cautious 4

Some interesting tracks, barely a 3 overall, however.

Classic and solid start to finish.

Never got into The Boss. This was a nice surprise.

Not my jam, but perfectly enjoyable.

Sounded like they were playing all their songs at the same time. Track after track. Same thing.

Never been a fan of grateful Dead or fish, but these guys managed to put together a solid live album. Individual songs don't stand out but as a collection this is great.

Decent all around album, but no one track stands out.

New wave. Decent and ahead of their time. Not my jam.

Sick flow.

Classic. Mandatory listening.

Great blues.

Psychedelic rock is growing on me. This was a decent listen, although not terribly different from track to track.

3.5

Shades of Bowie

Wonderfully produced, but lyrics are a constant bummer.

So many hits and still banging.

Classic, but barely holding onto a place in this list.

Not their best. Can't be helped, but Ren Fair Hippie nonsense does not age well.

Not a fan of indie anthem genre.

A bit much for a while album, but still a lot of fun.

Perfection

A classic

Great voice with not much to say.

4.5 so many hits

Such a fresh great sound that is only getting better with time.

It grows on you after the first 20m track.

Way to experimental to be memorable other than the uncle fiddler song that should never have existed.

Interesting, but unfocused

Timeless, chill, fantastic.

Another all-time classic.

Solid 3. The hits are a five, but they do not pull the rest of the album with them.

Easy to listen to, not to many stand out songs other than Southern Man which is fantastic. 3.5

Easy 5. All-time classic.

Slow start, but finishes strong 3.75

It only took three decades, but I finally like Duran Duran.

The drugs that created this no longer exist to make it palpable to the ear in this century.

3.5 Some solid tracks and unique sounds

Way too experimental for me. The only times they really shined was when they were covering other music styles.

3 I like The National in single song doses. A full album is too much for my tastes.

2.5 With respect to Can, this did not click for me.

3.5

Not terrible, but not memorable either despite the wonderful band name.

A welcome surprise. 4 because I would not have found it if not for this list.

Classic songs. Timeless hits.

Great value Wilco.

Interesting, not usually my thing. Shoe gazing emo would fit for some nap time relaxation.

Great for their time. Less saxophone would've been nice, but fits the period.

3.5 Ssteely Dan never clicked for me, but it's growing on me every time I hear it. Pretty. I appreciate the production value but musically, still not my thing.

Nice surprise.

'90s electronica will always be nostalgic.

3.5

A bit all over the place as a pioneering album should be. Plenty to like here.

Classic for me. Listened through most of high school and beyond. Got me into southern American rock.

Tom waits is always a tough review. He's at his best, for me, with the slow songs. Whenever it ramps up to carnival cacophony I have to hit skip.

Love Air, this album is a good ambient listen but leans too heavily on the ambience to be terribly memorable.

Overall aged to meh.

A classic for me and loved passjng down the appreciation to my kids.

Just not for me. Hits a lot of generic 70s vibes and the covers do not stand out.

Pure 80s

Perfectly wonderful jazz. Not my thing.

A solid 3 that grew to a four by the time the album finished. Really appreciated the shift from standard southern rock to more blues.

Hard to rate this. Not really my jam, and struggling to really place its genre. Country lounge music? I can appreciate the artistry, but it just doesn't click for me.

I've been aware of the Allman Brothers all my life, apparently in name only. What a great album and an instant classic to be sure.

Amazing this was released in 1987.

A timeless treat.

4.5!

Classic from high school.

Wonderful to rediscover this one.

Overlong for an album, but an easy listen.

Classic

3.5 A lot to like here

2.5 Mostly a 2 with poor lyrics. Last two tracks bumped it.

3.5 Plenty to like. Always. Great to hear Queen. Nothing quite there to push into a floor.

Good listen, but nothing standing out.

2.5 Slower the song the better. The less a song sounds like a carnival falling down a mountainside the better.

I know he isfamous for reinventing himself, but if every song is different from the next, and they all are terrible..

4.5

Solid 4. Need to listen to them more often.

3.5 Bluesy Punk.

Essentially an album of cover songs?

4.5 What a monster of a debut album. YT music did not have the original Link album but had the remastered. And that felt like a double album but was easy to listen throug start to finish.

3.5 Double implements of being more country than Southern Rock, overall enjoyable.

3.5

Not bad, but not fugazi.

3.5 I always enjoy his music, usually end up needing to have a nice hard drink and a cozy chair to listen.

3.5 overall, but Bohemian Rhapsody bumps it to a four.

Almost completely forgettable aside from Month of May.

A 3 that turned into a 4 by the end of the album. Not a great start but really picks up and is very enjoyable throughout.

A lot missing from YT Music

3.5

Unexpected. 3.5

Great with Lou Reed, not great solo.

Classic song but doesn't hold the whole album up.

3.75 A lot to like here. Love discovering new band this way.

5. Great way to take a break from the day.

A 3 feels almost generous. It's a nice collections of studio recordings, but lacks any direction as an album.

Great value Coldplay with some interesting exceptions.

Impressive album a first listen for me.

3.5 Beautiful, just not my jam.

3.75 Really enjoyed Kim Gordon's songs most of all.

Emo Jazz that couldn't be arsed.

5 forever.

British folk. A lot of covers.

More British folk. Unfortunately, back to back with Leige and Leif.

3.5 Moody House

4.25 DM finally clicking for me behind their hits.

4 Classics hold up and it's impossible not to get in a good mood.

2.5 I see the potential, but cannot get past the lyrics

Solid 5. It's only getting better with time.

Some well known classics, the rest of just not for me

3.75 Classic hits, but a less cohesive album.

Music 4 Lyrics 2

Wasn't available on YT music. Didn't really matter that I found it on YouTube, nothing really stood out. Easy listening, '90s soft rock.

I really like Bjork here's her solo work.

3.75 Very enjoyable.

3 until the extended Inna Gatta version which was fantastic!

Great find for me.

Hard to rate a genre that isn't one of my favorites. Certainly respect that a musicianship, overall not something I would seek out later.

Just no.

Honestly, painful to listen to. Sounds like a band that heard a lot of good songs and forgot how they went while trying to cover them.

3.75 Respect their influence on so many bands. Overall, this album was a miss for me with some bright spots.

3.5 Used to listen to this one all the time.

Was enjoying it until In the Jungle which sounds more than halfway lifted from Blue Oyster Cult's classic (Don't Fear) The Reaper.

Enjoyable

2.75 Best songs were the ones without vocals. Singer sounded like he was on a different song than the band most of the time.

3.5

Not terrible, just sounds like someone left smashing pumpkins on the radio in the other room.

3.75 Squarely in the center of '80s Metal.

Not popping like his other albums.

Refreshing change of pace

Dude seriously tried to rhyme Cohen with Own. Also sampled about four different genres and was terrible at all of them.

Classic and amazing release after losing Cobain.

3.5 Chaotic surfer punk that is best when they slow it down.

4.25 That's a solid 2h album!

Yachty-aughty-dope-alicious.

Better when she's bluesy, less so when she's loungy.

Pure '80s. Really grew on me as it progressed.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

3.25 A lot to like, but didn't stand out as an album.

3.75

2.75 Unique but not especially replayable other than the covers.

Enjoyable but somehow still missing something.

Tacoma band!

Classic for me. Great to revisit and it holds up.

3.75 Very enjoyable. That's some music to get shit done to!

2.75 It's an experience, that's worth something.

4.25 classic.

Nice change of pace. Imagine cover was nice.

3.25

2.5 Early blueprint for 2000s alt-indie, but just isn't there yet and not really standing out on its own.

3.75

3.5 A nice surprise. Not a modern country fan, but she's accessible like Sheryl Crow was for me generation.

3.5

Love The Cult, but ripping off Start Me Up then following with a cover of Born To Be Wild seems completely unnecessary. Keeps it at a 3.

1.5 Joni Mitchell has never clicked for me. At least this album was in a tolerable octave.

Classic Hip hop that still slaps. Loved bumping this from my truck back in the day.

An interesting ride, but never really figured out what they were going for.

Fantastic

Well, it's music. Nothing really stood out.

Only the last track stood out. Did not bother with the additional track added on re-release.

Classic country

2.5 Started out great with the first track (Oh What A World) and never went anywhere from there, unfortunately.

Well I guess after enough Nick Cave albums I finally like him!

Well ahead of their time.

3 5 for the Cover.

Honestly, nothing really stood out about it. It was enjoyable but forgettable. 2.5

Solid 3.

3.75 Really enjoyed the Bluesy later half of the album.

3.5

2.75 Nice and proggy, but this list is just saturated with these groups.

Great stuff.

3.5 Not what I expected, in a great way.

3.75 excellent when it wasn't straight country.

Raw and wriggling rock.

Not as hard as their previous releases, but there is no denying Karen O's voice is magic.

3.5

Grows on you after the first couple tracks.

4.5 Banger

5 Classic and personal fave.

2.75 Love the sound of trash rolling down a hill.

3.5

3.75 Nice discovery.

Hits from the Bong!

3.5

A nice discovery and the album improved with each track.

3.25

4.25

Trash values makes trash music.

2.75 Interesting, but not terribly memorable.

3.5 holds up over time for the most part.

3.75 funky bluesy renn faire? Sign me up.

3.75 Imagine carried this album

I was excited to finally get this album after only listening to the hits. Sadly, it really didn't click for me. The frequency that he rhymed the same word with itself was actually surprising.

Eh? It's fine. No clue why it's be on this list.

Great album that needs to cut Jailbait from it's line up

3.5

Hit after hit.

2.75 just not breaking the language barrier.

It was... fine.

Easy to listen start to finish

Scottish Dylan. Enjoyable.

Great album to play in a room down the hall while you take a nap on the living room couch.

3.75 great album. Ironman cover is a treat

3.25

Look out for that bus!

*5*

Slower than expected. Still good.

3.25 surprising. The jazzy songs were a treat.

4.5

Welcome surprise

3.5

3.75

3.5 finally warming up to them

2.75 No clue why this is here.

2.75

Great discovery for me!

3.75

4.25

3.5

Relaxed

4.25

3.5

3.75

Pop.. light? Somehow grows on you.

3.5 short. Great.

3.5

Lifelong hits

Go-to relaxing album

Flaming hot!

3.75

A meandering pile of ocean trash. Gave me a deeper appreciation for silence.

Live stuff was better

Solid

Last 3rd of the album saved it from a 2

Love the name. Respect the experimental effort. Don't need to hear it again.

The most tolerable Joni Mitchell album so far.

3.75

3.5 Cult of Personality carried this one.

Still don't get it.

What a gem!

This may be my favorite Aerosmith album, and a new discovery for me.

What was the point of this album?

3.5

3.5

Good Lord that was bad. Who knew Brittney had a reggae track?

U2 lite

3.75

Not my cup of tea

Takes their time with it, but it does get grooving after a while

Solid groves

3.5 aged better than I expected.

Outstanding

Common has never clicked for me. Still hasn't.

No. There should only be maybe three Ren Faire albums on this list, not 20.

4.25 Solid

3.75 Solid Live album

2.75 Man, I really tried to like this, but it followed Captain Beefheart and I've already had my fill of kooky for awhile.

3.5

3.5 enjoyable if not remarkable.

I need a t-shirt that says: I survived Captain Beefheart! Thankfully this is not a list of 1001 albums you need to hear on repeat. Glad to have heard it, glad to not need to hear it again.

3.75 Solid and enjoyable for brooding.

Dear God, a single dies not make an entire album.

Forgettable

3.75 No denying it's I impact on hip hop. Just doesn't age well overall.

Enjoyable, rough. Good stuff.

3.75

3.5 Really enjoyed the first half of the album. Second half just so-so.

4.5 All day

3.5 short but solid.

Second XTC in less than a week. I just cannot with this "music in search of a musical" drivel.

2.5 It's interesting in a way that didn't really encourage you to listen again.

2.75 solid album, just not for me.

3.75

3.5

Disappointing. Take away the fact that it is Pharrell and it felt like a well-produced demo disc that you may listen to once and forget about.

3.5

Fantastic surprise!

3.5 why did sex dwarf have to be so catchy?

5 all day, every day.

House. Interesting, but still repetitive.

3.75 Fun surprise

Timeless

3.5

3.5

Solid.

Really didn't click at any point, but was enjoyable enough.

2.75

Was that samplings?
