I cannot believe how low people have rated this hear. It shows that they're not in this to appreciate different kinds of music. As a huge fan of Syd Barrett Pink Floyd, this was a great revelation for me. There's just something so calming about this kind of trippy folk music. It makes you think of simpler times, and I don't see how the silliness of it doesn't just make you smile. Sure, it wasn't as put together lyrically or musically as early Pink Floyd, but it gives a great sense of whimsy and is just generally good.

This was actually really fun, I'm surprised I'd never heard of them before this

This is just good music, also helped me to find out janis joplin sounds like robert plant when she wants and can sing really well when she wants

One of my favorite albums ever, does that make me sick

Best album ever

Bonus star for clocks otherwise it bored me

Can't fault a man for jamming but I would've loved to see this without 8 minute intros to each song too

So much good about this album, but it was so long and there was as much that I didn't love.

Iconic

Nick Drake is really one of the gems of this for me. I liked five leaves left a little better but this has such a nice chill sound too.

Boring and monotone but not bad

Contrary to my last review this was bad

Didn't realize they just sounded like Bob Dylan

It's hard to believe this was ever good, but it certainly didn't age well

Potential but didn't get near it

One great song surrounded by terrible ones, though Starship at the end was at least interesting

Not bad, but I don't understand why it has so many listens. I guess you had to be there maybe

So talented but not something I'll come back to probably

Some good songs in the middle surrounded by complete garbage

So cool

So cool and pretty, glad he's not just a crossword clue anymore

She said was a nice new song for me along with my old favorite eleanor rigby but the rest is just good, nothing special

She must be Tracy Chapman's mother

Xtina, how and why did you make this so long?!

Not the music for me, of course it was made in Sacramento

Really good music backing loads of cheesy rhyming pairs. Also weird song about the confederacy especially when I thought these guys were Canadian

So unsettling. It’s only on here for “artistic merit” cause otherwise it is not a good album by any measure. Loved walking around town while he was screaming and killing his family and himself.

Just horrible

Can't explain why I love this so much, but the first song is just incredible

This was actually pretty good for what it is, I just wish they didn't sing about sex so much especially with young girls! But hey, that could just be me!

Incredible ambient music with even more incredible cover art. It just makes me happy and want to stay at the penguin cafe for as long as I want

I thought it was too much noise at first, but I ended up loving the album with its unique sound

Good not great

This will ruin the tour

So boring and almost bad, at least there were one or two good songs near the end

U2 but a little different

I still don't know if I like them or not

This is one that has to be on the list cause it defines a whole genre. It's not my favorite but it's still great.

This was great stuff, I liked it a lot better than funeral

Really fun band I had somehow never even heard of. I love when bands are funny and good at music even if they’re the worst band in the world

Some of the worst songs I've ever heard in among some really good ones that have a weird energetic sound. Just sometimes they let the sound get too weird and energetic and sounded like a dad that had many, many different drugs

It's definitely Frank Sinatra, can't argue with that

Amazing first song followed by samey sounding songs

I don't really like this type of music but it was still good, especially lost in music

Just like his other album I’ve gotten, it really is great music. Still not my style but I did get attached to Lost and Found so it’s a good day.

Another one with one great song and lots of mediocrity

Very difficult to get through, it was all the same

Good tunes

4 stars, and I wanted to like this more. The beginning just did not inspire me with the music but the vibes really were there. Even when he was explicitly sexual (it happened a lot) it didn't put me off or anything. Sounded kinda like Blur at different points

Decent for Stevie

This was genuinely horrible. It made me think of Suicide (NOT a double meaning) just in a different time with different drugs. And by that I mean it was genuinely horrible.

This album gradually wore me down song by song until I was resigned to give it just one star. I was bored out of my mind. Then in the last song she didn’t know how to sing it and talked about Ella Fitzgerald singing it in a crazy way which made me laugh. Don’t say I didn’t give it a chance

Enjoyable to listen to, they’re very talented

Very beautiful music and lyrics unfortunately sung by a much too old Lenny

Some great songs but mostly ones that weren't good at all

This was honestly fine, maybe better than I thought it would be. It was actually insane to hear the clear influence from Suicide on "State Trooper." That's definitely one of the coolest parts of this experience. Although why he chose to imitate that I'll never know...

This was really good stuff but not rating it too high because I won't be coming back to it later

Great voice and good music. Just dropped off a bit through the album.

Perfectly adequate; that is to say, not bad

I was hoping this was better since I had already liked some songs on this, but it was just more of the same

What

Intensely boring and the sound of the samba shakers nearly drove me insane on some songs

This is pretty good for jazz, but it’s jazz

Pretty fun and unique, but also not especially good

Wow that was really something

Perfect music for walking around the city on a rainy day, particularly if you're sleuthing

"F 2016, 2016 SUCKS" they said. It turns out people die. There were worse years to come that weren't ruined by old, heavily drugged people dying. I hope all the people who pretended to have loved David Bowie as soon as he died listened to this album as punishment. It's not even the worst, but nowhere near what this list should be.

This has one obvious hit single, but the whole album is full of fun, energetic, good music

Very good album throughout with only 1 real hit song

Did not like this one

Absolutely love this synth stuff, great music and sounds a bit like Mamman Sani my love

I was a bit surprised by this, there was a lot I liked in it. But it wasn't really that good except for American Girl

Really not bad, but it tailed off about halfway through. Would love to hear this with a real singer supporting the band

I think I would only listen to his greatest hits, this sounded like a bunch of the same songs back to back to back. It wasn't bad at all, but just a bit boring to listen to the whole thing.

Fine but a bit boring

Really like this. I already liked Cathy's Clown but the whole album was very nice

One of the classics that missed me

Good samples, great social issues addressed. But I just didn't care for some reason, maybe it was outdated for me. Definitely not enough to keep me interested

A ska band trying to move beyond ska. I didn't really like it as much as I like their previous album, 7 probably because of that. Not as much upbeat fast tempo music but there were some great hits here like Our House and Madness

I cannot believe how low people have rated this hear. It shows that they're not in this to appreciate different kinds of music. As a huge fan of Syd Barrett Pink Floyd, this was a great revelation for me. There's just something so calming about this kind of trippy folk music.

Sure, it wasn't as put together lyrically or musically as early Pink Floyd, but it gives a great sense of whimsy and is just generally good.

I seriously don't know if it's a 3 or a 4 for me. This is obviously an iconic album, but it doesn't really grab me. I've never liked their pretend punk attitude and sound, but this album has some real classics that everyone should know for a reason.

Very close to being an all time great album, but the part between mother goose and locomotive breath just didn't interest me. Started and ended so well

Hated this at first, it felt like the beastie boys trying and failing to make their way into techno. By the end though there were some real jams

Not the best REM album, but Laughing is such a good song

Somewhere between a 2 and a 3

Really good stuff

Starts with a great song then it becomes usual U2, nothing too interesting

This was actually really fun, I'm surprised I'd never heard of them before this

Just a bit repetitive (some songs are exact copies), but definitely a step in the right direction toward good music

I'm very sad to not like this one. Maybe it will hit later in life, but I didn't really enjoy any of this. I'll definitely try again another time.

Listening to this album was like being a kid where there’s an adult trying to be cool and you can’t help but make fun of him with your friends as he seems just way out of touch but then you grow up and realize he may have actually been cool in his day and you start feeling a little bad for him. You’re left with a smile as you reminisce on the good and bad times

This shit is so good

I expected better from them

Wow, this was really bad. It was like subpar high school garage band music with either mumbling or screaming on top of it.

This is definitely one of the reasons i’m doing this. I used to think Green Day was on the really bad side of punk where you couldn’t believe they would actually do anything punk whatsoever. That may still be true but I have a lot more respect for their music and band as a whole

Really big stinker, Jeff!!!! Not a one star cause it does seem like it led the way to better things like led zeppelin

I didn't used to like Bob Marley cause he was the only Reggae artist known to white people, but this is pretty good stuff and I especially appreciate the songs from peter tosh (without even knowing they were written by him until now). Not so much into kinky reggae

I was always scared of listening to Talking Heads albums cause I thought they'd be too weird but I keep being proven wrong. This is another great, fun album and the core of Cities - Life During Wartime is incredible

Not all hits, but it's just good music with silly lyrics so you can't be mad

Just not very good

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine. I love Patti Smith, especially Redondo Beach

I was ready to hate on this 9/11 classic, but everything except his rapping was actually so good I just can't hate

My favorite of his albums just because of golden years and word on a wing

Really good stuff

Some really good stuff, this experience is definitely improving my view of hippies and psychedelic music

Really not bad at all

Really good punk music without just being loud

This is just good music, also helped me to find out janis joplin sounds like robert plant when she wants and can sing really well when she wants

It had a nice, consistent sound. But it’s not one I really enjoy that much

I really like the idea of this band, but the music didn’t really show me anything great. I love that’s entertainment anyway

I really appreciated what she was doing on this album even though it isn’t my vibe

Music for a wine-drunk mom: bad poetry set to bad music

It would be nice to hear different songs

He hurried through this album like he remembered his wife was going to get out of high school soon, sounding like a white little richard

I wouldn't really call this good music

I could defend this album more if it was half as long, but it just wasn't good enough to justify

Exactly the kind of thing I can get behind to show off some originality and self expression. It only needs lots more originality and better self expression.

This is so bad! I don’t know how they made it past being a one hit wonder, they sound like a much worse U2

Some really beautiful songs but didn’t keep my interest the whole album

They clearly jumped on the loud, raw music early, but that doesn’t mean they did it well

Really one of the all time great albums

I can’t relate to the boringness of the midwest making you want to die, but I can empathize

Incredible singer sings great songs

I was expecting scary long jazz, but his voice is good enough to carry the long songs

The maker of this list had the responsibility to realize there weren't 1000 good albums and save us all some time. This was horrible, I laughed out loud at the end of the first song when stupid johnny rot started wailing or something. Not even Jah Wobble could save this

Not exactly my style, but I can see how other people would like it. Moon In June was definitely nice, but each song was 20 minutes

A really great new wave album, lots of hits and the lesser known songs didn't drop the level

One of my favorite albums ever, does that make me sick

I was trying to figure out why I hadn’t heard of these guys before I realized they don’t know how to write a chorus

Man they really get boring quickly, not a good band for albums

Mediocre early rock n roll and love songs

El Paso is one of the greatest songs ever. The rest were some very good country and western songs too.

Not Neil's best, but I did still quite like it

If someone put this on the aux I would crash

Not very good for listening to, but it was interesting to hear him explain things and it was probably important at the time

This was pretty good, especially for its time, but not one I'll be going back to

Bad
