Suffered through this. I know the point was to “break the rules and conventions of music” but the conventions won this fight smh I suffered
Very hard hitting blues/ soul. The real predecessor of so much rock and roll (the father you might say) and the Gainesville shout out in Deep Down in Florida! Great track
Alright, no words so good for work but just alright.
Good background music for work; nice but not amazing; probs wont revisit
liked it more than I thought I would, Audience with the Pope is lowkey banger
Know it and love it already
pretty good, for a white brit doing soul music
Aight, listened to most of it. A real time capsule of underground rap at the time
Pretty groovy. A classic for sure.
Unique, and very far from my usual listening. Glad I got exposed to it but probably won't play it again
I love Bowie as a person and cherish a lot of what he's made but this one isn't for me. rip fr though
Good background music. Nothing to obsess over though
Not my favorite Sam Cooke but a fun listen still
Very different from my usual listening. Not bad but not for me lol
classic punk grunge! recognized a couple, reminded me how much I like basket case
points for uniqeness and what felt like a whole niche of music I'd never encountered before. Standouts were Buffalo gals and El san juanera. I appreciated the very unexpected shout out lmao I thought i was losing it
liked it! muse has some bangers so glad to be reminded. I liked City of Delusion and Soldier's Poem
Wilco isnt for me. It was fine but forgettable, no real standouts
Liked it more than I thought I would. there is such a strong blues and jazz influence in his music. eminen was right he really did do black music so selflessly lmao
cool, I dont think I gave the lyrics the attention they deserved but vibid nonetheless
i really dont want to listen to this
Not as good as the their other album Sister but ok
Unique but not for me, won't give another listen
Pretty. Sweet easy listening
Supa dupa fly what can I say.
Cool, I liked the groove and the message
Fine, easy listening but not too remarkable
a fine listen, theyre less singing than screaming at the highest octave they could, very boomer rock but still fine
Belongs in its time; energetic boppy tunes but dang this guy had attachment issues lol
Liked it, also this cover art next to the coldplay album above is kinda funny, very serendipity
was nice to revisit this album; you could forget how the scientist is kinda deep by how popular it is but it really is a nice song
such a dark groovy vibe, I feel very in my emo girl bag with this, pretty cool
a few I'd like to revisit; deep cuts are more lyrically rich than I expected
Goya! Soda! Such a unique and vibrant sound. Long but enjoyable
Most memorable thing is the cover art tbh; unique song names but underwhelming sound
Love the gentle vibe, def what I needed at the time
Liked it more than I thought. Standouts were Self Esteem and Come out and Play. Great high energy for a night drive
pretty chill, perhaps too chill. very stoner uncle rock vibes
Not notable really
You should be stronger than me is a stand out. Enjoyable listen overall :)
A Classic
Fun classic rock, a good listen
very distinct sound, a good step outside my usual listening, pleasant
Naw
man sometimes things do be happening and I'm head over heels. Love that song
3 is a magic number but outside of that didnt like it as much as Id hoped
That good ole 90's grunge rock. still pondering if I would choose water over wine
good work listen, enjoyable jazzy tunes
Henry Rollins fan for life! Lets have a TV Party!
Palatable, not memorable. An easy listen
Im just not a boomer uncle I guess
fine, vermillion kisses was an interesting listen but not revisiting otherwise
aww early lenny
unexpectedly groovy; good work listen
uplifting and funky as I'd expect
Am I goth? Why did I like this so much lol found myself really vibing to this
fine i guess
Very interesting listen kind of surprised I've never heard of this artist
Enjoyed this! Great work listen and honestly cool. So ahead of its time
gentle bucolic and lilting; nice work listen but don't think I'll revisit
A few bangers but omg so long
they saw american soul and said, quite nice innit. those brits lol not bad
Has a classic funk sound married to a very unique and inventive style. Love the themes the how beautiful and fun this was. Very enjoyable listen and will be returning.
maybe he does think too much (part b). A nice listen but not my favorite from him
I had a college professor have us do a close reading of this album, nice to revisit it I like it
Honestly don’t really get the hype, ok I guess
Most remarkable thing was the cover art honestly. Not bad just fine
A good work listen but pretty underwhelming really
The 50 albums for 50 states idea still tickles me 😂 fine but now for me really
Smooth jazz is as smooth jazz does
Such a great voice, the last track made me laugh 😂
More soulful than I expected, I wonder who was callin this grown man sweet baby
I love dumb!! This album is iconic but I think cobain couldn’t have made his cry for help any clearer tbh
Fine easy listening but prob won’t revisit
Fine, I think I love Bowie as a person more than his music but a good listen still
It’s fine Asia thinks Aja is fine, I think if I were someones uncle I’d like it more
My favorite is still EIIRP :) good listen tho
So energetic bombastic atomic even! Liked this!
I think she invented the quirky lopsided beanie angst girl vibe and credit to her for that
I think I enjoyed the vibe because it reminded me of roundabout lol (a jojo reference?👀) but other than that not too notable
They really are family! Love the pure disco groove. Sister slay!
Not what I expected but still unlikely to revisit
Mhm a bit droning at times but ok I guess
Perfect background music, upbeat vibes and vague lyrics
Saw a few recognizable classics and cool vibe overall
Sorry but cannot sing for shit tbh; appreciate the unique poetic lyricism tho
I enjoy lofi eeriness of Radiohead and will prob revisit this album when I want background music for an existential crisis
I still feel like a lot of the Stones appeal was just the novelty of white brits doing black American soul but whatev it was fine ig
Better than I expected, liked the airy pop vibe and enjoyed hearing lovefool
Easy listen, a vibe just not my vibe
Mostly liked how the sound is reminiscent of wonder wall. It was fine though
Fine, sounds like a retro futurism kinda vibe to me cool
Fine but so so long not bad but not notable
So good to listen all the way through. Art that makes me proud
If a 14 year old boy after a breakup with his first gf was magically put into a full grown man’s body overnight and made an album it’d be this
The man was machining alright very on brand for robotic techno music
I’m sure this was super controversial at the time but interestingly I think mainstream culture has mostly caught up with the themes. wth do you mean flava flav is in this group
They were really letting those guitars rip, I’ll tell you that. Like the high energy but songs were so long ugh
This specific sound was such a moment in time in hip hop but I don’t think I’ll revisit tho
Classic! Mac’s always a vibe man. I was floating down the highway to dream
Very bouncy and eclectic! Draws from so many genres and references, very cool find!
Wonderfully ethereal as expected, hoping for more bjork
A very country Americana vibe. This would go crazy to some southern college boys near a lake drinkin some brews
More unique than I was expecting. Interesting rhymes and themes for songs. Milky cereal was a unique one (what’s a spoon 👀) not bad
A light that never goes ours is memorable of course and fine otherwise. I wonder how brits reacted to the album title
Better than hearts and bones but prob won’t revisit
Can’t sing for shit and you know it but has a certain vibe that I can get into. Thank you for Make you feel my love so Adele could make it a god song lol
A couple of solid ones on here but not my fave Beatles album
A pretty peaceful vibe easy listen but prob won’t revisit; I just know someone’s aunt loves to let loose with a Pinot to this album
A very pleasant groove
Cheers to you indeed Mrs Robinson. I really wonder what leads to these whimsically random song themes lol. Would give this 2.5 if I could
Def not my thing lol, fine I guess
Hm easy listening but also felt like hollow pop music idk not notable
Such an awesome voice in the country space. So much feeling in each song. Rip fr
My ears kept hurting during this. Not necessarily that bad but def not gonna revisit
Psycho killer and sugar on my tongue were standouts. Very unique vocals
Listened a couple days ago and can’t remember how I feel about it tbh so there’s that
Yay weird fishes!! I may not understand Radiohead lyrics but I sure do vibe to them
Better than I thought, honestly didn’t think I’d enjoy those rats but they were pretty hot! Good background music
Good background music and that’s about the most I can say. They had a great crowd though!
Saw this movie in a park a while back, I wonder are all the manipulative abusive lyrics a character he’s doing or actually… him lol I was vibin though
A dad rock classic, more country influence than I expected. Free bird baby!
So much feeling and beauty in these songs. Thanks for reminding me of Stardust
Gotta admit I kinda got into the vibe.. this and a blunt ya know. Don’t think I’d pack up and nomadically follow them across the country or anything but not bad.
I like that Stevie regularly works a more serious theme into his music. I feel like he was really trying to make racial injustice palatable to a white audience. Groovy tunes as always
Common people bangs, the album art bangs, the rest was fine too
An interesting mix of ambient and house-y tunes but sooo long. Was surprised to hear the track flower too haha
I enjoyed the more melancholy side of beach boys and surfs up is still pretty cool :) thx for the Rex slayyter
Long as hell man. Bullet w butterfly wings will intermittently be in my head going forward, but other than that not too notable
Baba O’Reilly was like oh yeah I know this one. This is such dad rock man but pretty good
Groovy and boisterous as expected. BOB was a good track and the interludes were funny
Bouncy and exuberant was a nice background listen to clean to, no idea what it said just vibes lol
I vibed to this for sure, not as eccentric as his other work but still very heartfelt
A good flow to the set list. Palatable background music. Kept me awake and my head bobbin so there’s that much
Rock and heavy on the blues which I wasn’t expecting. Dazed and confused is such a memorable track
21st century schizoid man bangs of course but like every song has an extra minute or so of outro lol
What can I say, another bajan dub 🇧🇧. This was fun and funky so groundbreaking for its time. I liked The Message and the medley at the end
Not my favorite Bowie ever but Starman is a standout. This is more of the pure rock side of Bowie I feel like
Hard to think of what to say about this one. It’s that soft indie rock I feel neutral about. Eeh
Awesome! This group has such a cool distinct sound. I like Spanish Harlem and of course California Dreamin
This album made the link between old black soul/rock and mainstream 70s white rock quite clear to me
Take me out is a banger that’s a given and the overall vibe is pretty solid
I like the drama in his voice and the guitars are pretty slammin’
Eeh good background music I guess, I kinda got into the melodic vibe of the guitar towards the end but other than that kind of whiny tbh
It’s interesting how similar this Kanye is to the current one but at the same time so different. Lots of the same braggadocious air and genre references in beats, but this Kanye seemed a lot happier. Idk how I feel about giving him a good rating
Had never heard of this artist but hope she makes more of a name for herself soon. There were a couple I’d revisit and a few more that I wouldn’t
I think another I like the person more than their music. Definitely an interesting listen and I hope to get some of her other albums but prob not a revisit. I hope Shameika thinks I have potential too…
Fine, not really my vibe. Very moany indie dudeish. Conversation 16 was the best if I had to say
Not as good as the other Elvis album so far but still a funky groove
Always love the ethereal vibes from Kate bush <3
The guitars were definitely slammin brother. Quite a few headbangers in there. Smoke on the water is a classic
deep purple between two bushes! This one was good too, I liked the surprise of hearing this woman’s work
Pretty forgettable, whiny soft rock indie boy stuff I’m not super into. Eclipse would be a favorite if I had to choose
This one was just steady good vibes, I would note not a political as his other albums so far, but I liked it!
He has a great distinct voice although you’ll enjoy more if you don’t listen to the lyrics much. For whatever reason the last five songs have the exact same sound
Some interesting sounds and influences in there but I don’t know if I’ll revisit. Güero Canelo was a standout.
This type of album is exactly why I started this project. I never would’ve found this gem of bossa nova and I enjoyed it! Bananeira was a standout :)
Lots and lots and lots (3+ hours worth) of lovely songs by Ella. Wow this Gershwin guy was prolific
Rough start but not too bad by the end. Wilmot was a standout. A bit better than tolerable
Men don’t be yearning and begging for their girl to come back anymore, that’s the real problem. They made simping classy
A very noir grungy vibe. Glory box is cool and sexy, whole album is a rainy day aesthetic
Was fine and well till we got to the necrophilia anthem that is the last song…
Suffered through this. I know the point was to “break the rules and conventions of music” but the conventions won this fight smh I suffered
There some bops on here tbh. Praise you, right here right now, and the Rockafeller skank were all recognizable. Def see why it’s on this list
Nice wholesome folk. Our house is a very very very fine song.
Very airy ambient pleasant noise
Liked this more than I thought! Couldn’t help but head bang to a few haha, Indians was a standout. This is a great example of “metal heads are kind people pretending to be mean”
One of the more unique ambient albums I’ve heard
Pretty inoffensive but also forgettable tbh good back music
I can def understand how this would have had such an subversive appeal back then. I admit I found myself bobbin my head to a few of them
Groan, not for me. The best listen was Get it Together and it was Q Tips part not the actual group. Idk their vocals are just so nasally. Not my vibe
Kinda yawn. Good guitar riffs throughout and Jesus built my hotrod is decent but yeah idk neither enjoyable nor edgy to me.
Sinatra kinda sounded the same across the songs, it was a good sound but noticeable when going track to track. Wish Jobim was more prominent but good overall
This feels like that authentic reggae that my grandparents must have been slow dancing to in the dance hall, amazing stuff. No Woman No Cry and Revolution are standouts.
My fave Neil album so far. It felt lively and I the message really came through
The angstiest not like other girls I’ve ever seen. Not mad at it but def not my vibe either
Huh ok wow I liked this. The last song 1985 gets a solid 4 and I will be revisiting it, a true little gem. But the rest was cool and band on the run was a little heap bop too
Can’t help but head band a bit to most of these. Especially One ‘tis a banger of the head variety
Yay sza! I knew half these already but cool to listen all the way through. Jodie was a new gem
Very folksy and heavy on the blues. I can see how this music was an influence for the soundtrack of cowboy bebop especially the last track
They really hit it out of the park with bittersweet but the just had the same sound but not as good as bittersweet
Like this more than I thought I would! Def didn’t expect ambient tracks like the whale. Def would’ve been my shit if I was a boomer dad
It’s no seven nation army but it was good. We’re going to be friends was a standout and I feel like the lyrics were creative
Already knew half of these bangers and enjoyed the rest! He really was hee-heeing his little heart out lol
Quintessential 70s synth man in a suit boppin to his robo beats. Good background music and I did recognize cars, but yeah liked not loved
Very 90s garage band sound. The sound reminds me so much of the songs used in FLCL. Fine but not a revisit
Felt like I should’ve been smoking a cigarette looking out a rainy window to this
Fun in small doses but listening through the whole album was almost tiring. He is iconicly high energy though!
Sad boi country man. Up late thinking bout a honky tonk woman.. don’t text
This surprised me! Exuberantly energetic especially favorite shirts. This album is for the cool dad that wears a tie during the week but still knows how to get loose!
I didn’t dislike necessarily but was never fully into it either. I really wonder what the guy in Flower looked like lol
This Bowie is especially jazzy and leaning into the American choral gospel sound, I like! Nice to hear Fame and Youn g Americans again.
I don’t love his vocals and I’d probably appreciate the lyrics a little more with some acid, but the guitar was slammin tho!
Very moody 90’s teen movie vibes. I liked what you do to me, but the rest of them didn’t quite grab me tbh
I def got into the guitar melodies of a few of the tracks but nothing else really gripped me
This group seems kinda underrated honestly! First song is a banger for sure and enjoyed throughout
I’ve never appreciated how groovy and uplifting an organ could sound. This chicken shacks where it’s at
I guess Bowles entire discography is on here. As much as I’ve heard I’ve still never been really hooked by any. Awesome dude tho
Now this is what I’m talkin about! Romantically vibrant and beautiful. De Camino a la Vereda was a standout but I danced to most of them, will revisit.
Eeh, felt like it was tryna be edgier than it really was. Pretty standard techno beats. Good background music but to me a less memorable version of duck rock
The wildest music that a 70,s man in a full suit would be listening to. Didn’t mind it or love it
About half of these I pleasantly recognized as covers of songs I already knew. But his voice and energy in these songs are awesome, I liked this for sure
More yawn indie rock. I don’t hate it but pure background music for me
Feels like a cross between the cure and Miami vice. Very breathy serious vocals. Not a bad vibe but no standouts for me
Found the lyrics hard to follow and the vocals regularly unpleasant. He does put a lot of emotion into his singing especially on the last track but def not for me
Hmm other than maybe I’m amazed which obviously bangs, the other tracks were just pleasant background music for me. Album art is cool though
Oh man what a talent. Mojo pin and grace were awesome and of course hallelujah is masterful. I hear so many influences here, including Radiohead really prominently in the vocals, I wonder if anyone else hears that
Rock with you really is a fantastic song, many groovy tracks on here and even some unexpected ballads. 4 hees/ five
I like her vibe, she’s a bit peeved and bloody well gonna let someone ‘ear it innit. I think flowers was my fave track tho
He doesn’t sound as nasally as he looks.. I liked this more than I thought but I don’t know if any individual tracks stood out, just the general vibe
the number of times they say I really might dream of californication. But lots of great tracks on here though. Road trippin was a good find.
Of the Marley I’ve heard, this one has more interesting guitar parts that almost sound 70’s American influenced. Stir it up is a standout and album is a vibe overall.
I guess this is what’s called prof rock but with such distinct 80’s synths that I can’t take it seriously. Fine I suppose
Quite twee, very gently lilting indie boy. Easy listening and cool album art. Expectations was def a standout
Let’s stay together is a national treasure of a song, and the rest of the album is a soulful groove to be sure
Wow fantastic voice and such a treasure to have this sound captured from this time period. Mbube and One more Dance were standouts.
Very hard hitting blues/ soul. The real predecessor of so much rock and roll (the father you might say) and the Gainesville shout out in Deep Down in Florida! Great track
Very hard hitting guitars and I def hear the blues influence a lot. Unexpectedly jazzy at times
Never thought I’d say that an album was a pleasant mix of Americana folk and show tunes but here we are
More wordy than I expected for an ambient album but a calming vibe nonetheless. St Elmo’s fire was a standout
Do all byrds albums end with a 10+ minute interview? I’ve gotta say I found it endearing, they sound so dreamy eyed. and it did kind of illuminate the thinking behind quite a few songs, not bad.
Considered giving this one a 1. More of a clash of styles than a blend. Can’t figure out what kind of person would love this, maybe wealthy suburb cali guy who knows a couple words of Spanish? Idk not for me
Very free wheeling and lots of fun. Alright is a great track and the vibe is super energetic. Time to go was a great way to end the album. The title is so funny to me, maybe I should coco…
Such a peaceful vibe, really liked this. I wish I knew the names of the instruments so I could say which one was really banging but especially the last one I felt like I was being put under a groovy zen trance.
Very aggressive very political very in your face. The inserts were interesting and well done. The context that this was the Rodney king era makes this make a lot of sense. Liked didn’t love it tho
An interesting blend of influences. I heard some country, pop, love ballad, classic rock, and some blues. Didn’t know what to expect but it was enjoyable especially the last track Streetheart
A fun laidback vibe beginning to end. Kids was one of those songs I’ve heard a million times but now finally know the name of. Good stuff here.
Another banger! How many albums do I need to have heard before I can call myself a metal head? This was fun and the guitars are so awesome! Phantom of the Opera was a standout.
Man Roundabout would make for a bizarrely good anime outro (👀). I love this sound it’s like psychedelic but still rock and head boppy. Very fun album but I have a enemy stand user to go take care of now
I heard on another byrds album that they were interested in making alien contact and they definitely leaned into that here lol. Lost of buzzy whirring alien background noise paired with very airy flowy guitars and lyrics.
This was a chore to listen to. Edgelordiness for edgelord sake. Feels like a mad lib of charged words like ‘orgy’ ‘blood’ ‘abortion’ ‘god’ and ‘death’. Shitty guy mid music.
Familiar with a lot of these tracks already like happiness and ussr. Revolution 9 was an interesting track. I like how the Beatles sound like they’re just having fun, goofin around in the stu. An iconic album for sure glad to have listened all the way through.
I feel like The Beach Boys are known for upbeat fun in the sun sound but that really ignores how sentimental and introspective a lot of their music is. They’re kinda emo sad bois at times lol. Amazing sound production. God only know is a gem of course
Not as engaging as some of the other classic metal albums I’ve gotten but still cool. Choppy guitars and drums.
Solid music for some honky tonk dancin! Surprisingly good for how obscure this is. I’ll be your fool is def a standout. I love when people do that little country yodel lol
Points for uniqueness I guess. I’ve never heard a fairytale unfold song by song in an album before. Very British, really too British at times. Best track is def lazy Sunday. This one’s hard to rate, didn’t hate it but glad its over lol. 2 1/2 if that was possible.
Something about this dork really grinds my gears. Even the way he’s standing on the album cover. Idk it was fine I guess but the whiny-ness of is voice is a bit grating. Alison is kind of an ear worm though
Someone said this is dork rock and I concur. David Byrne’s vocals either tickle your brain or really annoy you. This was a pleasant listen as I land in the tickle camp. The good thing was my fave cuz as odd as it is, I just can’t help but hear it as him repeating affirmations a therapist told him in this odd cadence lol. Idk it just tickles me.
Not exactly bad to listen to but like why? It’s like a bond-esque jazz bar movie soundtrack for a movie that doesn’t exist. It’s ok but I question how it made this list
That cool black character who wears glasses and is ‘conscious’ in every early 2000’s show is definitely listening to this album. Good rhythms and flow, was definitely head bobbin to a few
Please more of this!! Classic bossa nova right here so glad to have listened all the way through. Ipanema is gold of course and O grande amor is a gem too. Need to listen to this one day sippin a spritz in the sunshine
I would enjoy this if I was actually there live cuz it was indeed a jam. Just fine though as an album. Pretty awesome guitars though, just a bit long
This sounds like 70’s youth to me. Even now I feel like older people listen to this music to feel young again. There’s a kind of fresh teen recklessness in these tunes idk. Just what I needed bangs of course
I dont think you’re ready for this jelly!! This was awesome! So many classic hits and a couple new finds like Brown Eyes, too! The outro thank you song is so lovely, the sisterhood almost made me tear up. 😢
Not my fave Lorde album but still a few goodies. Liability always makes me feel something, so much vulnerability in the lyrics man. And writer in the dark was pretty good too.
What a classic. Kickin off with the gem of the album title track and maintains such a cheery relaxing soulful vibe throughout. I will say though as much as Marvin Gaye is known for being the king of get it on music, I was surprised by the religious tone of several songs lol. Love it though
This starts with back to back absolute bangers. She was such a treasure and so brilliant at translating her pain into her work. Effortlessly soulful and gorgeous. Miss her very much.
Every song is a thinly veiled metaphor of “I’m having hot sex with this hot chick” but man they rock so hard they can get away with it in the 70’s. I wonder how much satanic panic this stirred up back then?
Melancholy and poetic. A great listen and will def revisit. High and dry if perfect for a movie soundtrack. Title track is great too.
Wow it’s amazing how many of these I was already familiar with despite not knowing they were Joel or otherwise calling myself a Joel fan. Super influential discography. Is the title song a Camus-esque nihilistic exploration of self 👀 or maybe just a banger. Movin out and just the way you are certainly are.
Venus as a Boy and Human Behavior are awesome. The rest is ethereal björk vibes that I would expect. Never really heard the sexual undertones to her songs until I really listened lol
Cohen is much more a poet much less a singer. I think my brain isn’t developed enough to appreciate poetry tbh so a lot went over my head. I do acknowledge that these songs must be intimately beautiful to many out there.
I will always enjoy Dolly’s vocals. Always. Her voice is so vibrantly pure. I enjoyed this for sure. Traveling man is funny, coat of many colors is a sweet story, and early morning breeze has a unique and pretty sound. This was a good one!
Huh very eclectic sounds goin on. Britsy blues, electric guitar riffs, and a Celtic sounding flute influence. Interesting stuff but prob won’t revisit
An amazing vocalist for sure. Her voice sounds so much more mature than she really was, prolly the cigs I guess. But wow so much soul I had to double check she was white.
