Leonard Cohen
1/5
Now I don't like Leonard Cohen. But I can appreciate the man is a talented poet. And whoever decided it was a good idea to butcher his words with an 80s synth album doesn't deserve to work in the music industry. Good god this is an insulting album to everyone involved.

Bob Dylan

I don't get bob Dylan. He's a poet and songwriter, and should have stayed away from being a 'frontman' he's very very boring. The upbeat bluesy songs stand out. The rest are skippable.

A couple of good songs on there. But generic 90s guitar rock that seems pretty uninspired for the most part
2/5
I don't it. I didn't get it in their prime and not again now. Sometimes you think you hear a banger. And then it goes on for just too long. Or there is an immediate dip into drole-ness taking any intensity and excitement out of the song.

I understand who he is, and what he is to the music world. But I can't stand his monotone droning for a 4minute song let alone 41minutes.

Painfully generic. Let me entertain you is a banger. But I can't understand why this below average album is on this list.

A couple of good catchy pop folk, and some dull generic folk songs. All in all, better than I expected.

Very talented men. Kept waiting for something to happen in the album. But the album never kicked in. Just started then ended.
Leonard Cohen

It's pretty good folk rock album. But there's an awful lot of it at once.

Nirvana
4/5
You have to be a really big fan of Nirvana to really enjoy this. I like Nirvana, it's a bit much.
Foo Fighters
4/5
This is by far not the best Foos album. It's just Grohl having a good time on his own. But it definetly feels like a one man band.
