Highly Evolved
The VinesI mean, it's fine, but doesn't belong on this list.

Don't get the fuss for Queen. Apart from one or two songs, they are seriously overrated.
One or two parts are OK at best. The rest is just the usual self indulgent prog twaddle.
This album should be up for crime of the century. Dreadful.
Someone just needs to say it, Radiohead are pretty shit.
Much better than I remembered. Never been a fan of Yorke's voice, but works well here and this was when Radiohead were good before they started putting out all the weird shit later on.
Loud, early punk.
Really enjoyed this. Early pop-punk sound with lots of attitude and still sounds fresh
Awful. The Police have to be one of the most overrated bands ever. Sting's dreadful whiny faux-reggae voice screeches over every song. Terrible, terrible record.
Never been a huge Dylan fan.
cool and funky.
Shite.
Decent.
Some good, some bad. Can't see me listening to the whole album again.
Don't get the fuss for Queen. Apart from one or two songs, they are seriously overrated.
Dreary nonsense. Like a shite Boards of Canada.
Guff.
Enjoyed this. The opening track sounds exactly like Moving On Up by Primal Scream.
Incredible record.
Just cannot get into jazz. It's just people dicking around on instruments.
Alright, I guess. Never been a huge metal fan, but it works well with an orchestra although it's almost 2hrs long!
Great album from a permanently underrated band.
Batshit.
Folky background music. Fine I guess, but can't see me listening again,
Hip hop classic
Classic hip hop. Full of humour, social commentary and incite.
loud, angry and vital.
Masterpiece.
Some classic rock n roll.
Meh, not for me
Bland MOR rock.
Can't stand country music
Still sounds great
Awful
Short, loud and shouty. Like Kevin Hart.
Thought it would be good based on Blister In The Sun, but the rest is just a dreary carbon copy. Dull.
Greatest Christmas album of all time.
Better than other Dylan records I have had on here. Nice bluesy sound to some of the tracks.
Hit and miss.
Enjoyed this.
Hit and miss. Some good stuff, lot of guff too.
Fantastic and poignant.
I have a Pavlovian response to hearing a slide guitar - I immediately want to punch the speakers and listen to anything else. That I didn't do it for this record says something I guess, but it's still too twee and country for me.
Dark, moody and magnificent
Fine.
Steely Dan are dreadful.
Not on Spotify
Not really for me. Some cooler disco sounding tracks, but not really my thing.
Too many covers on here to be on this list. Sounds great but doesn't belong on here.
this was great!
every song sounds the same, and this is not a criticism.
It's just so dreadfully bland.
I mean, it's fine, but doesn't belong on this list.
There will come a day when I don't cry listening to the guitar solo on Purple Rain. Today was not that day.
Dreary country nonsense. Only decent track was One In A Hundred. The rest all sound the same.
Some good moments, but too much self indulgent guitar wanking going on. Also they were right to bring in Bruce Dickinson as lead signer at a later date.
This is everything I hate about prog. 20 min long 'songs', bullshit cover art, shite lyrics when they can be bothered to look up from their instruments for more than 20 seconds, keyboard solos that hurt your ears, guitar solos that last for 23 years. Fucking unbearable. I HATE PROG.
Absolutely sublime.
Great sounding New York hip hop
Starts off well, but got bored pretty quickly. Enjoyed spotting the J Dilla samples in Worst Band In The World.
Bonkers
Awful, twee, country bollocks.
Waaaaaay too long.
Really enjoyed this. Forgot how many good tracks were on there.
One or two parts are OK at best. The rest is just the usual self indulgent prog twaddle.
Hit and miss, but Like A Prayer is one of the greatest pop songs of all time, and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.
Probably a record that needs several listens and concentrating on the lyrics. As a background record it was fine, but didn't really do anything for me.
Fine. Nothing special.
Imagine is one of the most overrated songs ever, by one of the most overrated artists ever.
Fucking hate The Police. The faux reggae and his awful voice just grates on me. Such an overrated band.
OK is an apt name for this, because it is exactly that. OK. Before listening I was interested in the concept - merging traditional Indian folk music and techno, but it just never got going for me.
Just a great pop record
Stone cold hip-hop classic.
Some great tracks on here, but a bit of filler. Definitely a break through record for them though and one that propelled them into the mainstream.
Not really my thing. Too much wailing from Lydon and overly long. Some decent instrumentals at times, but otherwise just a bit shit. Can hear some PiL influences in music by The Rapture who are much, much better.
Fantastic!
This album should be up for crime of the century. Dreadful.
Fine I guess. Like a lot of their stuff.
Worth 4* just for The Cutter, but the rest of the record is also great.
Some great stuff on here, but some guff (Bungalow Bill for one) and it's too long.
Someone just needs to say it, Radiohead are pretty shit.
One of the greatest pop records of all time, and it's not even MJ's best record.
Pretty forgettable. Juxtaposed with you is a great track though
Some absolute classics on here, and really shows off what an incredible songwriter King is, but I often find myself preferring the covers of her songs to the originals.
Mince.
Some great songs on here, nice short and snappy rock and roll record.
Just a bit forgettable. Glittering Prize is a tune, but the rest just passed me by.
It's just shit. Like everything else they do.
Absolutely loved this!
Never been a huge Cash fan or of live albums in general, but this record is great. The sound is fantastic and you can hear the energy from the inmates, especially during San Quentin. the chat between the tracks is great too, shows that Cash wasn't just doing the show and then moving on. He takes his time to joke with them and pay them respect. Really enjoyed it.
Just a bit bland.
Probably a record you need to listen to intently with headphones on. I didn't. There's some good stuff on here, but nothing really grabbed me. Always found it remarkable that a band so experimental had such huge sales.
Not really for me.
Starts off strong, but I soon lost interest.
grungy and swampy. Decent, but not sure why it' on this list.
This was excellent and the backstory makes it even more special. A record of pure joy but tinged with sadness knowing what went on when Wilson first tried to record it, but also just hearing his voice, changed by time and sounding older struck a chord with me. A really beautiful record.
More melodic than I was expecting, but not really my thing.
Some really nice stuff on here, but does not need to be two hours long!
slow and funky. Really enjoyed this.
Just a classic.
Enjoyed this, a bit too long but some great tracks
This is super funky. Enjoyed it a lot. Strawberry Letter 23 was the highlight.
Great album. Doolittle will always be my favourite, but this is still really enjoyable.
It's ok, nothing special. I preferred their self-titled record.
Nowhere near as good as I remembered it to be.
Lovely dark post punk
Dreadful, faux reggae. Love Gets Sweeter saves it from being a complete abomination, but it's awful.
A lot heavier than I thought it would be. Can really hear the heavy metal influences that the like of Deep Purple and later Sabbath had on what followed.
Stunning.
Never really got into the Jam. Couple of good tracks, but nothing special.
I would have been about 22 and living in Sheffield when this first came out, and it just perfectly encapsulated what it was like being a young man in the mid-00s. Fights in taxi ranks, swapping clothes to try and get past a bouncer, the hot girl in the bar you actually can't stand but would go home with in a second if she asked you to, not having the confidence to speak to any girl in a bar so you just stand there and hope she makes the first move. The references go on. All of this delivered with a razor sharp wit, pounding drums and clanging guitars which was absolutely on the button for that time. The best debut album of all time in my opinion.
Usually like Neil Young, but couldn't really get into this one.
Just a bit bland.
Just a bit boring. This is the era of Coldplay that most people seem to think of when asked whether they like them or not. Or it is for me anyway. All the tracks are just 'there' they don't get any response from me either positive or negative. It just exists, like cottage cheese.
One or two tracks were ok, but very repetitive.
First half was very boring. But from 'Hero' onwards, it's great.
The man with the permanent blocked nose.
Stone wall hip hop classic.
God, I hate Steely Dan.
Loud, intense and dark. Absolutely love this record. Always blows my mind that it was able to shift millions of copies in the pre-internet age and with no radio play.
Couple of good tracks, but not sure why it's made the cut.
One of my favourite New Order albums. The opening three tracks are sublime. If ever there was a band where the sum is greater than the parts, then it's New Order.
Like, it's ok. But nowhere near worth all the hype. Jumps all over the place musically and you have the usual Lennon nonsense track that loads of people probably think is genius, but it's actually shit. Just don't see where all the hype and acclaim comes from.
Never liked Eminem. Even as a lover of hip-hop I just don't get him. Can't stand his whiny nasal voice and it just feels like he's trying too hard to be controversial to get attention. There's some great beats on here, but that's all down to Dre. Stan is a classic and one of the few times this rises above the puerile shock factor shit on the rest of the record.
Annoying whiny voice, but a couple of good tracks on there. Sounds like some early rap-metal cross over.
Dark and moody post-punk. Loved it.
The Queen. That's all you need to know.
Funky, but a little same-y after a while.
Struggled to get into this. Too much prog.
Some fantastic tracks on here.
Noisy nonsense. Shite.
Some great beats, but after a while the shouting and whining starts to grate.
Some great tracks on here, but Queen Is Dead is the better record. Also forever fuck Morrissey.
Never been a fan of re-imagining of tunes on different instruments. Reminds me of those god awful pan pipes albums my dad used to play all the time. This one is a little better.
Better than I expected. I thought it would be a lot more like the title track, but a few highlights lifted this from bland to slightly seasoned.
This is baby making music.
Don't usually like prog, but this was decent. The title track is great, but didn't need the usual self-indulgent 5min drum solo in the middle. Why do prog bands think we want this?!
That's some funky shit right here!
Fun 60s pop
Sounds like a soundtrack from a bad, low budget 90s movie about hacking.
Some absolute gold on here, but it's a little too long.
Just so dreadfully bland.
Bit dreary, this.
Loved this!
Loud, angry and important. Chuck D's remains one of the greatest MC's to have ever picked up the mic. His lyrics and flow hit clear and true time after time. The beats strike like a punch to the chest and Flavor Flav, whilst at times annoying, adds his own je ne c'est quoi to many tracks.
Still waiting for the day that I hear a Dylan record and something 'clicks'. Today was not that day.
Nice background music, but not sure I would listen to it very often.
Nice and bluesy, I enjoyed this
