David Bowie · 12 likes
5/5
Wow. Not even a full year in and I've gotten all of Bowie's albums that are on the list. I understand some people's complaints that people shouldn't need more than 3 or so albums on the list. But honestly I think Bowie really is the GOAT and I'm happy he has as many albums on the list as he does. He's my favourite of all time. I'd be fine if he had more. He had an incredible range. Experimented a lot. He's totally deserving.
As for this album, it's kind of underrated and overlooked. Some of the best vocals in his career. Just great stuff. Love this album. Love Bowie.
Liars · 3 likes
5/5
I really liked this band. Used to listen to them quite a bit. This isn't one of my favorites by them. And I'm surprised that this is the one that's on the list. I really liked their first album. Their self titled album, Sisterworld, WIXIW and Mess. Honestly haven't really listened to much of their stuff since Mess. There's some songs off this album I'd listen to pretty regularly, but like I said, definitely not my favourite by them.

5/5
I really like this. It's kind of funny the day before I listened to The Strokes' Is This It, and honestly this feels like it's of the same era. It holds up really well. I never would have guessed this was pre 80s music.
Giant Sand · 1 likes
5/5
Nice. I am definitely going to check out some more of this band. Really liked it.

Nostalgic for sure. Brought back so many memories. Used to love this album. Still do. But I used to too.

Joy Division
5/5
Great start I've listened to this album before. It's great!
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
4/5
While not exactly something I would necessarily listen to on my own. Or would seek out to listen to again. I did enjoy the album. And can really see how it's incredibly influential.
Queen
4/5
This was a very interesting listen. Other than the hits Bohemian Rhapsody and You're my Best Friend I hadn't heard any of these songs. I quite liked it. You're my best friend did initially feel a little out of place compared to the previous tracks but then seaside rendezvous came on and that was really different and I actually loved it. I remember thinking the opening track death on two legs was pretty progressive and I really enjoyed that and then Sweet Lady hits and it's very prog rock and it's great. The prophets song was an incredible journey.
Yeah this is a pretty good album. Not something I'd probably go back to though to be honest. 3 days into this journey and nothing but good to great albums. It'll be interesting when I actually come across something I don't like. But I can't wait to listen to something that I love so much I add it to my regular listening rotation.
The Clash
5/5
Very nice. 4 days into this journey and this is the 2nd album I have heard before. Love this album. It's got a good variety of sounds.
Sigur Rós
4/5
Sigur Ros was a band I had heard of. Have heard some songs by them. Always meant to give them a proper listen to. So now that's happening.
All that being said. I did enjoy the album and can recognize that it is really good. But I don't think I'd come back to it.
5/5
I thoroughly enjoyed this album. I had heard of the album and have heard the first three tracks before. But this is my first time listening to the album. Very solid album. And it does make me want to check out more U2 so 5 stars.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
5/5
This was an incredible listen. As a Canadian I've always enjoyed Neil Young and respected him. But have never listened to an entire album. Other than the opening track I never heard any of this and it was great.
Brian Eno
5/5
Wow this is easily the best album of the ones I haven't heard before yet. I've loved a lot of the people he's worked with. But never tried his solo stuff before. Easy 5 stars.
Jane's Addiction
5/5
9 albums in and this is the 3rd album I had already listened to before. Love this album and Jane's Addiction has always been a band I've meant to check out more of. 5 stars.
Booker T. & The MG's
5/5
I dig this! Had heard the title track before. But I never really knew what it was called or who it was by before. But yeah this was a great listen.
The Sugarcubes
5/5
Damn this was really good. I was always interested in listening to more of Bjork. And this was a delightful surprise. I didn't even know she was in this band. Great listen to. Made me want to check out more for sure.
PJ Harvey
5/5
Very nice. I really liked this album. I wasn't so sure at the start of it. But by the end I was really enjoying it and it made me really want to check out more stuff from PJ Harvey.
Giant Sand
5/5
Nice. I am definitely going to check out some more of this band. Really liked it.
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
Really good stuff here. Always been a casual fan. And while I was aware of this album I was a little surprised I didn't really recognize any of the actual songs. So it was a great first listen.
Madonna
3/5
Yeah okay. I don't have too much of an opinion about this. It's just really not for me. I didn't hate it at all. It's just not really my tastes. It was pretty different than I thought it would be. And I only recognized the title track and the power of good bye so it was mostly all new to me. And like I said it did some things I wasn't expecting from a Madonna album. I can definitely see how others would like, again it's just not for me.
The Cardigans
5/5
This was an incredible listen. I of course knew of the hit Lovefool. But every track on this album was a banger in my opinion. So much so that I spent the rest of the day listening to their whole discography! New fan for sure.
Hugh Masekela
4/5
Hmm. Yeah I quite liked it. Didn't necessarily make me want to listen to it more though.
Eminem
4/5
I really liked this album. But I don't feel the need to listen to more.
Run-D.M.C.
5/5
I absolutely loved listening to this. Such a fun time. You can really tell how influential it was too.
Sinead O'Connor
4/5
This is a really great album. Such incredible vocals.
Kanye West
3/5
While I can recognize that this is a good album. It just really isn't for me. I can't stand Kanye West. I usually have no problem separating the art from the artist. It's really hard to do with Kanye West because so much of his art is about him... So I can't really do that. And I do not care for him. And i know he's only gotten worse since this album came out. What with all the antisemitism.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
I quite liked this. Was a nice relaxing easy listen.
Happy Mondays
4/5
This was an interesting listen. I enjoyed it. Not something I might necessarily go back to though.
Beastie Boys
5/5
Yes! Love Beastie Boys. Love this album. In fact of all the albums I've listened to prior to starting this. This is the album I've listened to most beforehand. So good.
Lenny Kravitz
4/5
This was really great. Loved listening to this.
The White Stripes
4/5
Pretty interesting. I did quite like this.
Orbital
3/5
Meh. Didn't really care for this. I didn't hate it by any means just didn't really care for it either.
Herbie Hancock
5/5
Wow. This was incredible. Loved all of this. So fun and delightful.
Franz Ferdinand
5/5
Oh very nice. Really digged this. Super easy listen. I've always meant to check out more Franz Ferdinand. Definitely will be doing so after this.
Brian Eno
4/5
I thought it was really good. Just not something I feel like I need to listen to again. Definitely interested in listening to some more Brian Eno solo stuff. I loved the other album I listened to
The Stooges
5/5
This was incredible. I don't know what I was expecting. I just didn't expect it to be as great as it was. The track We Will Fall did seem to drag on a bit too long for my liking though.
fIREHOSE
4/5
Wasn't sure how I felt about this at the start. Was mostly indifferent. However the instrumentation just kept me really intrigued. And I ended up really enjoying it. Not sure if I'll go back or check out any more of their stuff so in that case 4 stars.
Radiohead
5/5
Love this album. I've listened to it countless times. One of my favorite bands of all time.
Dusty Springfield
4/5
Wasn't exactly my cup of tea. But I did enjoy it
Depeche Mode
5/5
This is very good. I liked it. I'll probably check out more of them. I've heard of them quite a bit lately. They seem to be going through a bit of a renaissance. 5 stars.
Nas
4/5
Pretty good stuff.
Fatboy Slim
3/5
I guess this is probably good. I mean I didn't hate listening to it by any means. But it's just really not for me.
Various Artists
3/5
Yeah I'm not really a big Christmas music guy. I didn't hate it. I just didn't really like it. But I don't think it's bad so 3 stars.
Miles Davis
4/5
Great stuff here.
Soft Machine
3/5
I typically enjoy Prog rock. King Crimson. Early Genesis and such. But something about this just didn't really click with me for some reason. I didn't hate it by any means and can recognize the musical genius. I just don't think I was in the mood for it.
Elastica
5/5
Wow I really dug this album. Definitely going to check out more from them.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
This was a good listen.
Little Simz
5/5
This was absolutely incredible. One of the best I've listened to since starting this. I immediately relistened to this album and then moved on to listening to other albums she's done. Incredible stuff
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
I liked it. I'd heard most of the songs beforehand but not the full album. Good stuff.
Cat Stevens
5/5
Another album I had listened to before. Fairly big fan of Cat Stevens. Love this album especially.
The Mars Volta
5/5
I quite enjoyed this. Have always heard good things about them and this album. I'll definitely be checking out more from them.
5/5
So good. I've been meaning to listen to more Yes!
Al Green
4/5
Very good stuff
Arcade Fire
5/5
Love the first four albums by Arcade Fire. Have listened to them each multiple times. In fact this is the first one I did listen to all the way through. Haven't listened to much of their stuff post Reflektor. And it's kind of hard to want to do that now with all that's come out about Win Butler. I mean I had heard that he was a real pretentious prick. But now it seems he's a pretentious prick who abuses his power to force women to do sexual things with him. I don't really have a problem separating the art from the artist. Especially since Win Butler is just one part of Arcade Fire it's just unfortunate that he's the front/main singer of the band.
Aimee Mann
5/5
I have loved Aimee Mann since watching Magnolia. This album being on here makes me wonder if there are others of here on here. Bachelor No. 2 is my favourite of hers. Here's hoping.
Roxy Music
5/5
Roxy Music is another one of those bands that I've heard a lot of good things about and have been meaning to check out more from them. This did not disappoint.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Pretty good stuff here. I know it's a great album. But I just wasn't in the mood for it.
Elvis Presley
3/5
I didn't really care for this too much. I don't think it's bad. Just not for me.
N.W.A.
4/5
Pretty good. Some of it holds up. Some of it not so much I don't think.
3/5
Really not a fan of country music. This is at least more bearable than modern pop country. Yeah not saying it's bad. But it's really not for me.
Kate Bush
5/5
Damn. This was absolutely incredible. I've been meaning to check out more of Kate Busy for a long while now. She's collaborated with so many of my favourite artists. And this did not disappoint.
Robert Wyatt
3/5
Oooff. I wasn't really feeling this. Didn't hate it but didn't really like it either.
Ali Farka Touré
4/5
Very good stuff here. Enjoyed this.
Beastie Boys
5/5
Love the beasties boys. However this does have a lot of stuff that didn't are that well. Still love it though
Paul Weller
3/5
Didn't hate it. But didn't really care for it either. Really wasn't feeling it.
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Excellent album.
Michael Jackson
4/5
Say what you will about Michael Jackson. And I will I think he was a predator. But you can't deny he made some fantastic music. He's an artist I can enjoy by separating the art from the artist.
Lou Reed
5/5
One of the absolute best. Loved this album. I coincidentally just listened to this album last week. Hah it's in my rotation pretty heavily to begin with a long with all of Bowie's solo work.
Sonic Youth
4/5
This was a good listen. Have always wanted to check out some Sonic Youth. This didn't disappoint.
The Doors
4/5
This was a pretty good listen.
Fela Kuti
5/5
Really great stuff. It was such a fun easy listen... And then I did a little reading. How can something so funky have such dark undertones. Loved it.
Echo And The Bunnymen
5/5
This was incredible. Loved listening to this album. They've always been another band that I've been meaning to check out more of. So glad this came up. Will definitely be checking out some more.
AC/DC
2/5
Hey, can you keep a beat on the drums? Yeah, well congratulations, you can play every single AC/DC song on the drums. Man I really don't like AC/DC. I didn't expect this to be my first rating lower than three stars. I did try to go in with an open mind. You can't deny the success they had. And sure there's some good/iconic guitar riffs and solos they came up with. But boy oh boy do I not care for it. The only reason I am not rating it 1 star is because I'll reserve that rating for albums I would actually hate and actively tell people not to listen to. 2 stars means I didn't like it. I thought maybe I would have been able to rate this 3 stars. But that is reserved for things that I don't have strong feelings for one way or the other. This is the first album I've come across that not only do I not like, I also don't think it's good. I do recognize that is my own opinion and based on their popularity I know I'm probably a minority here but I don't think they make good music.
Jacques Brel
3/5
Didn't feel too strongly about this one way or the other. I think it's good, definitely not bad by any means. Just not really for me. It definitely helped that it came in at a breezy 28 minutes.
Amy Winehouse
5/5
This was a good album. I enjoyed it.
Haircut 100
5/5
This was absolutely delightful. Will definitely be checking out more from them
Primal Scream
3/5
Meh didn't care for this one too much. Didn't hate it though.
Neil Young
5/5
Absolutely incredible. Loved this. Always casually enjoyed Neil Young but damn this was great.
Mike Ladd
2/5
Did not care for this. Didn't hate it. But didn't really like it either.
Peter Frampton
5/5
I did enjoy this a lot.
LCD Soundsystem
4/5
I wasn't so sure of this at the start. Didn't care much for the opening track. However I ended up really enjoying this album.
Frank Sinatra
3/5
Meh. Wasn't bad. But didn't care too much for it.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Pretty good stuff
Def Leppard
2/5
It's not awful but I really didn't care for it. Kind of like bubblegum pop hard rock
Sister Sledge
3/5
Yeah it was fine. Just not exactly my cup of tea.
k.d. lang
3/5
It was fine. Just not really to my taste.
ZZ Top
3/5
Not bad. Just not really something I cared for too much.
Red Snapper
1/5
I feel like perhaps I've been too generous in the past, especially with electronic music. I don't know why but this is the straw that broke the camel's back. This is the first 1 star review I'm giving out. I know I've been to generous in the past and if it wasn't something I liked I would just rate it 3 stars saying it wasn't for me. But this is a bridge too far. I really didn't like this. It wasn't for me. I don't know who this is for. It was boring and repetitive. It maybe even is a little better than some of the other electronic albums that I rated earlier because it does every so often do something a little bit different... But barely, and not good enough. So I guess I'm changing the way I rate things maybe.
Michael Kiwanuka
5/5
This was absolutely delightful to listen to. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
5/5
So... This was kind of I think exactly what I needed. I usually listen to albums periodically throughout the day. I tend to take breaks here and there. But the night before I was assigned to listen to this episode, my dad died. I was assigned this yesterday obviously. But I didn't get around to it until today. I listened to it while driving to my parents house to be with family. So it hit real hard. It was absolutely beautiful and I loved it. I think I will be coming back to this. It will hold a special place in my heart. Thanks for this.
Love
4/5
Marty Robbins
3/5
Not really into country music. But this is better than modern pop country of course.
Pink Floyd
5/5
One of the absolute best albums by one of the absolute best bands of all time! This concept album is such a journey. One of the rare concepts albums where multiple tracks do work on their own though.
The Cure
5/5
Great listen. Always been a casual fan of The Cure. And I was looking forward to listening to more of them so this was delightful.
2/5
Nope. Not for me. I did not care for this. I enjoy jazz music. But this was way too much. Just wall to wall noise. The only thing that's saving it from a 1 star is the sheer uniqueness of the album. I haven't heard anything like this... Not that that's necessarily a good thing.
John Coltrane
5/5
This was such a great listen, especially since yesterday I had to listen to Spy vs. Spy. Now this is the kind of Jazz I can get behind and enjoy.
3/5
Didn't hate it by any means, and while I recognize Dylan's genius and influence, I don't particularly care for it. It's fine. Just don't feel strongly one way or the other.
Coldcut
1/5
Nope. Didn't like this. Just went on and on and on.
Queen
3/5
Pretty good. Technically proficient. Just nothing that really hooked me. But not bad at all.
Weather Report
3/5
This was a nice easy listen. Didn't really stand out though.
Radiohead
5/5
This is one of my all time favourite albums, by one of my all time favourite bands. Love it every time I listen to it. Which is fairly often to begin with.
The Monks
5/5
This was an incredible listen. Really enjoyed this. This must have been pretty revolutionary.
Jimmy Smith
5/5
This was a nice easy listen I enjoyed it. Bluesy jazzy. Daughter enjoyed it as well.
The Beach Boys
4/5
Yeah this was enjoyable.
William Orbit
2/5
Not the worst electronics album I've listened to since starting this. But yeah, I'm getting pretty tired of all of the electronica albums on this list. It is one genre that really hasn't aged well. I get that some people like it, love it even... But it's really not for me. I almost want to rate this 1 star just because how fed up I am with all the electronica, but again, this is far from the worst one on the list so far. It at least did some things different. But still not good in my opinion.
David Bowie
5/5
Oh yeah, I've been waiting for this day to come.
In my opinion David Bowie is the greatest of all time. He's my all time favourite artist.
No one else has maintained as much cultural relevancy while being as influential and successful, while continuing to experiment with their sound than he was. Great album. I know there's some more Bowie albums on here and I can't wait to have an excuse to relisten to those either. I almost always listen to at least one of his studio albums every single day. Or one of his live albums as of late.
His output is legendary!
Everything But The Girl
3/5
I didn't feel too strongly one way or the other with this one. Wasn't horrible, wasn't great either.
The Strokes
5/5
I really liked this. Been meaning to listen to some of their stuff.
Big Star
5/5
I really like this. It's kind of funny the day before I listened to The Strokes' Is This It, and honestly this feels like it's of the same era. It holds up really well. I never would have guessed this was pre 80s music.
The Who
5/5
Wow can't deny the skill and energy here. Great album.
The Gun Club
5/5
This was really good. Interesting blending of rockabilly and punk. Can really see how it would be super influential.
The White Stripes
5/5
Damn. This was pretty entertaining. I liked it a lot.
The Who
4/5
This was pretty good.
The La's
5/5
This was quite interesting. Wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Lately I've been so scared of any assignment from the 90s thinking it'll be electronic music that I've grown tired of. So this was delightful. Some of it was nice and short and sweet. Some of it went on and on kind of repetitive. But some of it was genuinely really interesting to me. I liked it. A lot.
Beatles
5/5
Wow. What can be said about this album, that hasn't been said. I'll just say it's incredible.
Gary Numan
4/5
This was thoroughly enjoyable.
Tears For Fears
5/5
Love Tears for Fears. Love this album. Love The Hurting too, I wonder if it's in this list.
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
5/5
This was very nice and easy listening.
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Pretty dang good
Johnny Cash
5/5
This album is so fascinating. I'm not into country music at all. But this album is entertaining as all hell. Some of the music gets a little repetitive. But the mood and atmosphere is incredible. Just so raw and authentic.
Miles Davis
5/5
Always enjoy this type of jazz.
Sugar
3/5
Meh didn't hate this by any stretch. But it didn't really hold my attention at all.
Blur
5/5
Very good album. I enjoyed it a lot. Love all the different styles.
Neil Young
5/5
What a treat of the album. Always been a casual fan of Neil Young but this is my third album of his from this list so far and I'm becoming a big fan of his.
The Velvet Underground
5/5
Love this album.
Bill Evans Trio
5/5
Really nice and easy listening.
Joni Mitchell
5/5
Very nice easy listening.
Marvin Gaye
4/5
Pretty good stuff
The Byrds
4/5
Pretty good stuff
Spiritualized
3/5
Meh. Didn't care for this really. Didn't hate it though either.
Paul Simon
5/5
Oh wow. So good! I really enjoyed this one.
Aerosmith
3/5
Meh
a-ha
4/5
Quite good
Aretha Franklin
4/5
I enjoyed this a good amount.

Very entertaining album.

I quite liked this one
Joni Mitchell
5/5
What an amazing album.
Beach House
5/5
This was a pleasantly delightful listen
Elvis Costello
4/5
Pretty solid stuff
Chicago
4/5
Not bad at all. I rather enjoyed this
T. Rex
5/5
I really liked this!
Crosby, Stills & Nash
5/5
Excellent album
Slade
3/5
Meh wasn't terrible. Just did not care for it.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Excellent, breakthrough album.
4/5
Excellent
Alice Cooper
5/5
Man this album is entertaining as all hell. Way better than it has any right to be.
Underworld
1/5
Ugh. I did not care for this. And I'm very tired of the electronica albums on this list. How many more can their possibly be. When Blueski came on, I was relieved, I thought wow a break from the same stuff over and over again. But I was wrong. Blueski is just the same thing over and over again for 3 minutes. A welcome break from the rest of the album. But also repetitive on it's own. And then Stagger was also whatever.
Living Colour
5/5
This album was incredible. I loved the energy. The Talking Heads cover, yeah so much energy. Incredible album and musicianship all around.
Prince
4/5
So good.
Funkadelic
5/5
Pavement
5/5
Really good. I don't know how or why I haven't listened to this band before. Reminds me of early days Modest Mouse. I know they site Placement as an influence and yeah you can really hear it. I will try to make up for lost time and catch up.
Talking Heads
5/5
One of my favourite albums by one of my absolute favourite bands. Talking Heads first 5 albums are so good. I love them all. In fact between their 3rd (this album) 4th and 5th album I have a hard time pinning down which one is my favourite. I was surprised to learn that their 5th album, Speaking in Tongues, isn't on this list. But yeah this album is so great.
The Afghan Whigs
4/5
This was pretty solid
The Prodigy
2/5
Ugh. Definitely not the worst electronic album I've listened to on this list. I've even heard some of these tracks before in various media. But I'm just so over these electronic albums. I'll give it credit for being a cut above the rest.
The Go-Go's
4/5
This was a really fun album. I liked it.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
A real classic here
De La Soul
5/5
Such a fun album. So entertaining. Really enjoyable.
Def Leppard
2/5
While I recognize that this album would definitely be considered successful by most measures and can appreciate the fact that it did produce a lot of classic rock hits, and this album is full of them that's for sure, there was only a handful of tracks I had never heard before, I do think even the best of bubble gum stadium pop rock is still not something I really care for.
Adele
4/5
Good stuff. Just not really my thing.
The Blue Nile
4/5
This wasn't too bad. I quite liked it. I saw the reviews and braced myself for the something bad. But this was pleasantly surprising.
Kelela
3/5
Meh not really for me. Not bad. But not my cup of tea.
Iggy Pop
5/5
Love this album.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Very solid soul album.
Boston
5/5
Wow. This is such a great album. Not exactly what I would choose to listen to, but I can't deny how great it is. So many hits. And the ones that weren't big hits are really solid. Great rock album.
Kings of Leon
3/5
Didn't feel too strongly one way or another about this one.
OutKast
4/5
Pretty good stuff. Not as entertaining as Stankonia
Tom Tom Club
5/5
The Incredible String Band
3/5
Not bad. But not really for me either.
Portishead
5/5
Always been meaning to check more of Portishead out. This did not disappoint really liked this one.
The Temptations
4/5
Whoa. This was good stuff
The Fall
3/5
Wasn't too bad. Wasn't great either though.
Bad Company
3/5
Not bad by any means. Quite good bluesy hard classic rock. Just not really my taste.
The Black Crowes
3/5
Meh. Not bad. I recognize this is good 90s rock. But not really for me.
Nine Inch Nails
5/5
This is one hell of an album. So good. Very varied.
The Bees
5/5
Very nice. Pleasantly relaxing.
Belle & Sebastian
4/5
Not bad at all. I quite liked it.
The War On Drugs
4/5
Pretty good stuff. Nice and relaxing easy listening.
Beyoncé
2/5
Nope. Really not for me. The only thing that's stopping me from rating it 1 star is because I do recognize that Beyonce is at least a skillful singer. I don't really care for her personally. And I hate this forced global worship of her. But I can recognize that she is good at what she does. But this album, and her work in general just feels so by the numbers.
Sonic Youth
5/5
So good! Some of the feedback at the end of some of the tracks maybe dragged on a bit too long. But I didn't find it detracted from the overall album.
David Bowie
5/5
Bowie is my favourite musician/artist of all time. I personally believe he is the G.O.A.T. I've listened to his entire discography multiple times over. And pretty much constantly. It's pretty rare that a day goes by where I don't listen to at least one of his albums. So I was more than happy to re-listen to The Next Day. Although this album might not even crack the top 10 of my favourite Bowie albums, I'm such a fanboy and I absolutely love this album.
Some seriously great songs on here. I mean Where Are We Now. What a beautiful song. The ending might just be one of his most romantic ever. I just love Bowie
X-Ray Spex
4/5
Pretty fun and entertaining album.
Queens Of The Stone Age
4/5
Really good stuff
Eminem
4/5
Pretty entertaining. Some of it doesn't really hold up I don't think. But I also kind of think that was the point.
The Avalanches
2/5
Nope. I don't care for this. Might be one of the better electronica albums I've listened to so far. And that saves it from 1 star. But I still don't care for it.
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
Pretty fun album.
Eric Clapton
3/5
Meh. Didn't feel too strongly one way or the other about this. In fact my wife absolutely loathes "I Shot the Sheriff" and that honestly has rubbed off on me a bit. So I don't really care for that track.
Supergrass
5/5
Really enjoyable album. Lots of fun.
Brian Eno
5/5
Great stuff.
Butthole Surfers
4/5
Pretty interesting and entertaining album.
Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Meh. Not really for me.
Thelonious Monk

Such a great jazz album.

This is not normally something I would listen to. But I really enjoyed this.
Count Basie & His Orchestra
5/5
I really liked this.
Stevie Wonder
5/5
Great album
Sarah Vaughan
4/5
Enjoyable
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Meh. Not bad. Just not really my thing either.
The Who
4/5
Black Sabbath
5/5
Such a good album. I somehow forgot that I use to listen to it quite often. I thought that I was going to listen to this for the first time only recognizing some of the names of some of the tracks. But relistening to it now flooded all the memories of listening to it all the time back in high school. So thanks for that. Excellent album.
Sufjan Stevens
3/5
Meh. Honestly not bad at all. Just felt like it outstayed it's welcome.
Sonic Youth
4/5
Good stuff
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Can't deny the absolute hits on this album. And the other non hits are good stuff too.
Ozomatli
3/5
Not too bad. Just not really my thing 2ith335
Arrested Development
3/5
A lot more overt religious and specifically Christian references than I prefer. But still a really fun and entertaining album. But yeah the almost constant references to Christianity knocks it down a peg.
The Teardrop Explodes
4/5
This was a fun album for me.
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
Pretty good stuff. Some classics for sure.
Iggy Pop
5/5
Love it.
Björk
4/5
Solid stuff
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5

Not too bad.
Green Day
5/5
Pop punk probably at it's absolute finest. Excellent concept album at that.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
Very good stuff
Arcade Fire
5/5
I really like this album. Arcade Fire's first 3 albums were fantastic. I haven't really listened to anything they did after Reflektor though. I should give it a shot.
Dwight Yoakam
3/5
Okay. So I do not like country music. Like at all. That being said, I didn't mind this album so much, because there was some breaks from the repetitiveness. Although overall it was rather repetitive. I don't know country music just all sort of sounds the same to me. But like I said some of the songs on this album did stuff a little differently and that was a nice break. I also have enjoyed Dwight Yoakam in some of his acting roles that I've seen so that helped. I am also more inclined to appreciate this style of country music, when compared to modern country music. Because well, this is actual music. Whereas modern country music is nothing more than corporate, paint by numbers pandering. As Bo Burnham said, it's textbook pandering. And it's honestly insulting. So I appreciate the fact that there is actual musicianship here. But with all that being said, I still don't like country music... Like at all.
Iron Maiden
5/5
Great stuff
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
Pretty damn great
Slipknot
3/5
Meh. This is a weird album. Tonally all over the place. Honestly it's not bad. Just not really for me. I'm not much of a metal head. I can appreciate the musicianship though. Some of the most talented musicians are metal drummers. Absolute insanity.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Pretty good stuff. Can't deny the sheer amount of hits on it.
The Allman Brothers Band
4/5
Pretty great
Lorde
4/5
I actually really enjoyed this

Very fun and entertaining album. Enjoyed it
Pearl Jam
5/5
Excellent album
Soundgarden
4/5
Can't deny it's very good and influence
Basement Jaxx
2/5
Meh. May be one of the better electronic albums. But still not my thing.
Bee Gees
4/5
Quite enjoyable
Common
3/5
Not too bad. Pretty good. The religious references really bring it down. For me anyway.
Brian Eno
4/5
Very interesting album.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
5/5
Excellent album.
David Bowie
5/5
Bowie IS the greatest artist of all time. He's certainly my favorite. And this album in my opinion is the quintessential Bowie album. A lot of people will say that's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. And while I also love that album, I honestly believe this album fits the bill better. While The Ziggy album is quite firmly commented in his glam era, Hunky Dory captures more of his overall sounds. There's some stuff that sounds like his earlier folksy-er outings. There's his poppy stuff from the time, and there's hints towards his glam rock outings to come. There's even some really experimental sounds here as well that he would continue to do for the rest of his career. Love Bowie and I love this album.
Echo And The Bunnymen
4/5
Very enjoyable album.
Isaac Hayes
4/5
Great stuff
The Kinks
5/5
Great album
Nirvana
5/5
Classic
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Pretty good.
Fairport Convention
5/5
This album was incredible. Despite it being clearly folksy in nature, there's something about this album, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but it sounds really ahead of its time and quite modern. Really dig this one.
Parliament
5/5
Super funky. Super fun. Super enjoyable
ABBA
4/5
Pretty good
Willie Nelson
3/5
Meh. I respect Willie Nelson as a person, and this type of country music as opposed to today's modern country pop garbage, but I still don't care for it
Magazine
5/5
Really great stuff. Didn't know what to expect going into this one. Was delightfully surprised.
Talking Heads
5/5
Such a great album. By one of my absolute favourite band. I love all of their albums. But their first 5 especially are incredible.
Doves
4/5
Thoroughly enjoyable.

Good stuff

5/5
This was great.
The Zutons

This was delightful. Would like to check out more from them.

3/5
Meh not bad. But not really my thing

3/5
Not bad. Just not really my favourite thing.
Suede
4/5
Good stuff.
Kendrick Lamar
3/5
Man, I had always heard good things about Kendrick Lamar. And I was interested in hearing this. But honestly I didn't care for it too much. Don't care for his voice. Lots of repetitiveness. Long drawn out.
5/5
Great stuff!
The Cult
2/5
Holy generic rock and roll Batman. Listen I won't deny the musicianship. They seem really good at what they do. It's just what they do does not interest me in the slightest. Much of this just sounds like royalty free rock music.
Johnny Cash
5/5
Incredible stuff. I never really listened to Johnny Cash. Never really thought I'd like it to be honest because I hate country music. But this is a cut above the rest for sure. This almost feels like something else. Anyway this is the second Cash album I'm listening to from this list. And it is also getting 5 stars. Just incredible stuff.
Destiny's Child
2/5
Nope. Not a fan of this pop by the numbers corporate stuff.
Julian Cope
3/5
Meh. There was some good stuff in here. But mostly it was long and dragged out blah for me.
Roxy Music
5/5
Phenomenal stuff here!
Steely Dan
5/5
Great stuff
Björk
5/5
So good!

This was quite interesting.
Sam Cooke
4/5

This list has made me a fan of Neil Young. Didn't have too strong of an opinion beforehand. But now I really like him.
John Lee Hooker
4/5
Good stuff
David Ackles
4/5
Very enjoyable
David Bowie
5/5
I love Bowie and I love this album. I've said a lot about Bowie so far in my reviews for the other albums that have come up so far for me on the list. But this album means so much to me. To all of us Bowie fans. It was his final gift to us. To the world. And I love him all the more for it.
Paul McCartney and Wings
5/5
Great album
Gillian Welch
3/5
Meh.
Beatles
4/5
Pretty good stuff
Foo Fighters
4/5
Not bad.
Public Image Ltd.
5/5
This was an incredible listen. I ended up really enjoying this.
The Saints
4/5
Not too bad.
Black Sabbath

Great stuff.
Belle & Sebastian
5/5
Very chill and easy to listen to. I really liked it.

Pretty enjoyable
2/5
I don't like this. I understand they are popular. But I don't like them.
Throwing Muses
5/5
This was fantastic!
Grateful Dead
4/5
Pretty good stuff.
David Bowie
5/5
I absolutely love Bowie. See my other reviews to see my thoughts on him as an artist. He's my all time favourite. I love this album. However I will say it took a few times, like all of the albums from his Berlin trilogy to get the hang of. I remember going into this album pretty casually thinking the title track would be the indication of how the whole album would sound. And it's not quite like that. It did take a few listens to really sink in for me. And it might actually be my least favourite of the Berlin trilogy. Low being one of his absolute best albums. And Lodger being just more interesting in my opinion than Heroes. But again, I love this album and I love Bowie!
The xx
4/5
Pretty good. I remember when their first album came out, listening to it and meaning to keep up with them. I didn't so this was an interesting listen.
Johnny Cash
5/5
This list has made me a fan of Johnny Cash. I didn't feel too strongly about him one way or another beforehand. I like how I did get his first live prison album first and then his second one in order. But man these two albums are just so entertaining. Really enjoyed this. And again, I am not a fan of country music whatsoever. But this is just good stuff.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
4/5
Very good.
R.E.M.
5/5
Great stuff.
Coldplay
5/5
Man. The first few Coldplay albums were great. Love this album. It has my personal favourite Coldplay track: The Scientist. I feel like after X&Y they got a little too poppy for my tastes.
Stevie Wonder
5/5
Incredible stuff. A bit on the long side. But I loved it.
Ella Fitzgerald
3/5
This is difficult. I mean I don't know. There's nothing inherently wrong with this... Box set... It's not really an album. Or is it... I don't know. It's super long. Too long. I didn't hate it though. I mean it did end up feeling like work going through the whole thing. But it's not bad in anyway. I did like the music. But it's just WAY TOO LONG.
Stephen Stills
5/5
Quite enjoyable.
Gram Parsons
3/5
Meh. It's pretty good country, but it's still country. I do have a soft spot for male/female duets. So that helped.
David Holmes
3/5
Meh. Don't care too much, at all actually for electronica. This at least felt a little better than most. But still pretty repetitive, as is the usual for these electronica albums.
Guns N' Roses
4/5
Not the biggest fan of this type of music. But I can't deny the hits or overall musicianship.
Linkin Park
4/5
Not the biggest fan of this type of music. But can't deny the musicianship.
The Cure
5/5
Incredible!
Bob Dylan
4/5
Not the biggest fan. But I do enjoy his music. Just don't listen much at all. But you can't deny his influence.
Nina Simone
4/5
Pretty great stuff. Love Bowie and his cover of Wild is The Wind always blows me away. I had actually never heard the original. So this was great.
MGMT
4/5
Pretty good album. Very entertaining.
Bonnie Raitt
4/5
Ended up enjoying this just fine. Not really something I would listen to otherwise. But I liked it.
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
So good!
50 Cent
2/5
Not a fan. Didn't hate it. But I didn't like it.
The The
4/5
Enjoyable
David Bowie
5/5
Absolutely love David Bowie. Absolutely love this album. Definitely up there as one of my favourite albums by him. See my other reviews of his albums to know just how much I love Bowie. He's the G.O.A.T in my opinion.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
5/5
Incredible stuff
The Mamas & The Papas
4/5
Thoroughly enjoyable
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
3/5
Hmm. I mean it's not terrible. I don't feel too strongly about it one way or the other. It's good music. Just not exactly my taste. Kind of long and repetitive too.
Supertramp
5/5
Great stuff.
Rocket From The Crypt
5/5
This was such a delightful surprise. Really enjoyed this one. Going to check out more from them for sure.
5/5
Incredible
Fatboy Slim
3/5
Meh. Not a big electronic music fan. This has some undeniable hits on it that can't be denied. So I suppose it has that going for it. Electronica just gets so repetitive.
Le Tigre
5/5
Incredible. Really liked this album. Definitely will be checking out more from them.
The Offspring
4/5
Not bad
Liz Phair
5/5
Really liked this.
5/5
One of the all time greatest albums by who I consider the greatest artist of all time! See my other reviews to understand just how much I love Bowie.
Hawkwind
3/5
Meh. It was fine. I actually even liked it... But it was just way tooooo long.
Marvin Gaye
5/5
Incredible!
Louis Prima
4/5
Pretty enjoyable. Really enjoyed the instrumentals.
Nanci Griffith
3/5
Meh. Didn't hate it. But not for me.

Good stuff.
Japan

Love Peter Gabriel and his era of Genesis. Love this album.
The Police
5/5
Excellent
Prefab Sprout
3/5
Didn't feel too strongly about this one.
Pixies
5/5
Love Pixies. Love this album. This and Trompe le Monde are definitely underrated compared to Surfer Rosa and Doolittle. But they are just as great in my opinion. Pixies are definitely in my top 5 favourite bands. I even like their new stuff. New album coming out tomorrow!
The Smiths
5/5
Fantastic
Fela Kuti
5/5
Awesome
Fun Lovin' Criminals
5/5

I really liked it.
Nirvana
5/5
On a hot streak of great albums. And this is one of them. Just incredible.
Lambchop
5/5
This was pleasantly enjoyable
Coldplay
5/5
The hot streak of great albums continue. Always been a fan of Coldplay's first 4 albums. The first two in particular are great.
Run-D.M.C.
5/5
Really liked it, not as much as Raising Hell but still really enjoyable.
David Bowie
5/5
One of my absolute favorite albums by my absolute favourite artist. Bowie is the GOAT. I can't believe I got almost all 9 of his albums on the list within the first year of me doing this.
Curtis Mayfield
5/5
I can't believe my luck. Another absolutely fantastic album! Loved this album. Heard quite a bit of it before. Love the funky soul stuff.
Oasis
2/5
Ugh. I really don't care for Oasis. They just run me the wrong way. Liked this one even less than their second album which I've already listened to on this list. Just not that interesting and boring. This broke my incredible streak of 5 star albums. Hope to get back on that track.
Stevie Wonder
5/5
Ahh back on track... I hope. Another great album. Loving Stevie Wonder. Was always just a casual fan of his but this list is making a true fan.
Django Django
5/5
Really really liked this. Will definitely check more out from them.
Stan Getz
5/5
Wow, this was incredible. Definitely had heard some of these tracks before. But this was exactly what I needed to hear on the day after the 2024 presidential election. Nice chill and calming music.
Radiohead
5/5
One of the best. By one of the best. They're one of my all time favourite bands.
David Bowie
5/5
Wow. Not even a full year in and I've gotten all of Bowie's albums that are on the list. I understand some people's complaints that people shouldn't need more than 3 or so albums on the list. But honestly I think Bowie really is the GOAT and I'm happy he has as many albums on the list as he does. He's my favourite of all time. I'd be fine if he had more. He had an incredible range. Experimented a lot. He's totally deserving.
As for this album, it's kind of underrated and overlooked. Some of the best vocals in his career. Just great stuff. Love this album. Love Bowie.
Van Morrison
4/5
Pretty good music. I hate that Van Morrison is such a piece of shit. But there are some real undeniable hits here.
Manic Street Preachers
4/5

Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Good stuff.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions

So good. Loved it.
The Smiths
5/5
Absolutely fantastic!
Elbow
4/5
Quite enjoyable
Buck Owens

Rufus Wainwright
4/5
Pretty good stuff.
Alanis Morissette
5/5
Really nostalgic. Really enjoyable. So many hits.

Quite enjoyable.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
4/5
Good stuff.

Despite this being electronic music. I didn't hate it like I usually do. Haha but I didn't really care for it either.
Waylon Jennings

I really really liked this.
Ms. Dynamite
4/5

Not too bad.

Simple Minds
5/5
Incredible stuff. I love this style of new wave. I honestly had only really ever heard Don't you Forget about me. But I really enjoyed this whole album.
5/5
I really liked this band. Used to listen to them quite a bit. This isn't one of my favorites by them. And I'm surprised that this is the one that's on the list. I really liked their first album. Their self titled album, Sisterworld, WIXIW and Mess. Honestly haven't really listened to much of their stuff since Mess. There's some songs off this album I'd listen to pretty regularly, but like I said, definitely not my favourite by them.

4/5

Astor Piazzolla
4/5
Quite enjoyable. I liked it. Easy listening.
Roni Size
3/5

Buzzcocks
4/5
Short and sweet and entertaining.

3/5
Not too bad. Gets a little too twangy for me though.
Stereolab
4/5
Pretty enjoyable. I liked it.
Talking Heads
5/5
One of the debut albums of all time. Definitely a top 5 band for me. Love Talking Heads. Love this album.

Incredible!

4/5
Pretty good stuff
Serge Gainsbourg
5/5
I really liked this album.
SZA
4/5

Pretty good stuff.
Burning Spear
4/5
Quite enjoyable
The Cure
5/5

Metallica
5/5
Great stuff
Electric Light Orchestra
5/5
What an epic experience. Loved it.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
I don't mind Red Hot Chili Peppers. And this is a good fun, funky, entertaining album. But boy oh boy, does it ever go on for a long time.
Pulp
5/5
Actually really enjoyed this. Didn't know what to expect. But I really liked it.
Daft Punk
3/5
Meh. Not the worst electronic album on the list. But still just not a fan of this style of music. This might be one of the best electronic albums on this list. At least so far in my opinion. But it like all electronic albums just fall prey to ultimately being very repetitive. At least this one was a little more varied than most others.
The Byrds
4/5
Solid stuff.
Skunk Anansie
4/5
Quite liked this.

4/5
Solid stuff.
Paul Simon
4/5
Really good stuff.
Scissor Sisters
3/5
Nah not really for me. Man, that Comfortably Numb cover almost made it a 2 star for me. But when it comes to covers, I usually appreciate the ones that try to make something new out of it rather than a straight cover. So while I appreciate the boldness of changing up the song, I really didn't care for it.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Good stuff
Aerosmith
3/5
Nah. Not a fan of this style of music
Christina Aguilera

Ray Charles
5/5
Splendid.
Throbbing Gristle
3/5
Honestly I didn't really care for this... But I am pumping up to 3 stars just based on how unique it is.

Fantastic. Always loved King Crimson. Not my favourite album by them. But it's incredible stuff.

Taylor Swift
3/5
It's not too bad. I'm not really a fan. But it's not too bad. My wife and daughters really like her. I'm pretty indifferent. Hence the 3 stars. I by no means think it's bad. I just don't think it's that good either.
Emmylou Harris
4/5
I was a little worried when the wikipedia article mentioned this was an album by a country music artist. I really don't care for country. And while there was a little bit of that trademark twang, it wasn't too overwhelming. I quite liked this.
The Kinks
5/5
Fantastic stuff.
Barry Adamson
4/5
This was quite enjoyable.
The Cramps
4/5
Pretty good stuff.

The Specials
4/5
Pretty solid.
Van Halen
4/5
Not too bad. Pretty solid stadium rock. Can't deny the hits. Though I don't really care for this style of music, like I said can't deny the hits or the overall musicianship.

4/5
Was pretty interesting. I liked it.
Black Sabbath
5/5
So great. Love those first four albums so much. What a legend Ozzy was!

The Monkees
4/5
Enjoyable.

Ryan Adams
3/5
Fine. Not bad. Not really my thing though.
Elliott Smith
5/5
Great stuff.
Kraftwerk
4/5
Hmm. I didn't expect to like this so much. I do not care for more modern electronic music at all. Super repetitive and bloated and too long. But this was actually quite enjoyable. Maybe older electronic music is better...
Cocteau Twins
5/5
This was a great listen.
The Notorious B.I.G.
2/5
Meh. I don't know. Something about this. I really didn't care for it.

Great stuff
Duran Duran
5/5
Absolutely great stuff. Love it
Blue Cheer
5/5
Very enjoyable. I liked it a lot.
The Style Council
5/5
This was very interesting. In the best way possible. It was all over the place sonically. But I actually really enjoyed it.
Dizzee Rascal
4/5
Pretty solid
Jazmine Sullivan
4/5
Pretty good.
Dion
3/5
Pretty good. Not really that into it though.

Meh. Not bad. Not really my taste though. I do like short it was though
The Fall
4/5
Pretty interesting stuff here. I liked it.
The Darkness
4/5
Interesting. Not really a big fan of this style of music, especially the vocals. But for some reason it kind of clicked and I did end up enjoying it, including the vocals.
Terence Trent D'Arby
3/5
Meh. Not bad by any means. Just not really my type of thing.
Saint Etienne
3/5
Meh
Scott Walker
3/5
It's fine

4/5

Absolutely love this album. I love his first 5 albums so much!
Faust
2/5
Meh. Too long, and I didn't care for it.
Goldfrapp
5/5
I actually quite liked this. Despite it being described as an electronic album. It wasn't too repetitive, like most of the other electronic albums on the list.
Doves
4/5
Pretty solid stuff here.
Kings of Leon
3/5
Listen, it's not bad music. I've heard far, far worse music. But I am very surprised that this is the 3rd album of theirs that are on the list, yet some bands that are far more influential, and even more successful, have no representation at all on the list.
Anthrax
3/5
Meh. I'm not really a fan of this style of music. Again it's not bad, but I just don't care for it too much. It's kind of repetitive.
Suede
3/5
Meh. It's fine.
Jurassic 5
4/5
This was pretty entertaining.
Crowded House
4/5
Solid stuff here. I enjoyed it.
Laibach

Nah. Didn't really like this. Didn't hate it. But just not into. It was quite repetitive at times.
Can
3/5
Started off alright. Lost interest pretty quickly. Not horrible though.
4/5
Pretty solid.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
2/5
Nah. I do not like this. Way too long. Way too twangy. I mean I'll always say this. This type of country is still way better than modern country. But I still do not like this stuff. The instrumentals were a little more bearable, but still. I do not like country at all.
Buena Vista Social Club
4/5
Pretty good
Orange Juice
4/5
Solid stuff
Ministry
2/5
Nah. Not a fan.
Jethro Tull
4/5
I liked it.
Frank Zappa
5/5
Really really dug this.
Goldfrapp
5/5
I enjoyed this quite a bit. Always worried when an album is described as being by an electronic artist of group. But this wasn't the typical repetitive electronic noise and sound that make up most of the electronic albums on the list.
Stevie Wonder
5/5
Excellent.
Kid Rock
1/5
This music and the man himself make me sick.
Screaming Trees

This was really interesting. Very enjoyable. I really liked it.
Rod Stewart
3/5
It's totally fine. Just not really my thing.
Dolly Parton
4/5
Not the biggest fan of this type of music. But I have the children's book. And I just love her as a person. And that almost gets it up to 5 stars... But again, I just don't like country music.
Khaled
4/5
Pretty good stuff.
Pantera
4/5
Hmm. This brought back memories. Solid stuff. Not really as into this type of music but I remember really enjoying this years and years ago.
Elvis Presley
3/5
Meh. Not the biggest fan. It's not horrible though
Snoop Dogg
2/5
Nah dog...
David Crosby
4/5
Pretty interesting
Cornershop
4/5
Interesting. Pretty good.
The Flying Burrito Brothers
3/5
Meh. Not bad. Pretty interesting for a country album still altogether too twangy for my tastes though.
George Harrison
5/5
Not usually into these really long drawn out albums. But this was great. Very solid. I've always loved a lot of these tracks so hearing the whole thing.
Death In Vegas
4/5
Not too bad for something labeled as electronic.
Beatles
5/5
I mean. It's great. What else can be said.

4/5
Solid stuff.
Fugees
5/5
I really ended up liking this one.
The Velvet Underground
5/5
Love The Velvet Underground. And I love this album.
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
5/5
This was great. I didn't expect this to be so much more accessible than Trout Mask Replica. That's not to say I didn't love Trout Mask Replica. Because I did. But this was good too .
Siouxsie And The Banshees
5/5
Very entertaining album. I liked it a lot.
The Mothers Of Invention
5/5
Great stuff.
Paul Simon
4/5
Solid stuff.
Nico
3/5
Meh. Didn't really care for this. Wasn't bad. Just wasn't my taste. I really love the album she did with The Velvet Underground. So I was definitely interested in this, but yeah. Just wasn't really that great.
Sabu
4/5
Funky groovy stuff. I liked it.
The xx
4/5
Very enjoyable. I kind of got into them, when this album came out. Didn't really stick with them. But enjoy their stuff pretty casually.
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
I mean it's fine I guess. Wasn't that into it.
Deep Purple
4/5
Solid hard rock stuff
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
It's pretty solid. I don't mind it at all.

Pretty good stuff
Silver Jews
5/5
This was really good. Super entertaining.
Bee Gees
4/5
So confession. I didn't really know anything about Bee Gees. Other than hearing Staying Alive and their other big disco hits. So this was a little bit of a surprise to me, I had no idea they made music like this. And it was pretty interesting. I didn't mind it.
Faith No More
5/5
Really good stuff.
Meat Loaf
4/5
Pretty enjoyable.
LL Cool J
3/5
Meh. Not terrible. Just not that great either.

4/5
Pretty good.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Very solid stuff
Billie Holiday
4/5
Enjoyable
ZZ Top
4/5
Now, while I'm not the biggest fan of this style of music. Or even the band itself. I don't know there is something endearing about them. Perhaps it's because my father did enjoy them. And I mean you can't deny their technical proficiency. Or the hits. So... Yeah. It's alright.
Pink Floyd
5/5
Super influential. Not my favourite of theirs. But you can't deny the talent or the influence.
Steve Earle
3/5
Not my taste. But it's not too bad.
U2
3/5
It's fine.
Pink Floyd
5/5
Just such an epic album. Second pink Floyd album for me in a week on the list. Great times.

5/5
A little long. And kind of repetitive only because of its length. But also more creative. Really enjoyed it.
The Shamen
3/5
Meh. Not my cup of tea. Not horrible by any means.
Public Enemy
5/5
Loved it. Always had a passing interest. But this list has made me a fan.
Hüsker Dü
4/5
Pretty solid stuff.
Rush
5/5
So epic
Morrissey
3/5
Man. Can only stand Morrissey when The Smiths were a thing. I don't hate this music. But he does bother me. And I don't really care for the music either so, meh.
The Associates
4/5
Very solid stuff.
Tom Waits
5/5
So good. Love Tom Waits.
Quicksilver Messenger Service
4/5
This was a pretty solid album.
Cocteau Twins
4/5
Very solid stuff.
New York Dolls
4/5
Pretty solid. Not really my cup of tea. But I ended up enjoying it a fair amount.
Emmylou Harris
3/5
Not terrible. Just not really into country.
Mariah Carey
3/5
Not my favourite type of music at all. She's not a terrible singer. In fact she is talented. But this is too long for what it is. It's super repetitive. All the songs sound exactly the same to me.
Madonna
3/5
Better than some of the other pop albums. Still not really my thing though.
Ghostface Killah
4/5
Very solid stuff.
Korn
4/5
Not really a big fan of this music. But they may be one of the best at it. And didn't mind it overall.
Afrika Bambaataa
4/5
Solid interesting stuff here.
Slayer
4/5
Not usually a metal guy. But this was solid. I ended up enjoying it.
Van Morrison
4/5
Not too bad. Kind of long. But I mean I guess it's a live album. So understandable length. I just wish I didn't know how crappy of a person he is now.
Christina Aguilera
3/5
Meh. Not horrible. Just not really something I particularly cared for.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
Very solid stuff.
Mj Cole
3/5
Too long and repetitive. Maybe not as repetitive as other electronica albums on here though. So that saves it from 1 and even 2 stars.
Fats Domino
4/5
Good stuff
Joni Mitchell
5/5
Great.
George Jones
3/5
Meh not much of a country guy. This wasn't that bad though.

4/5
Solid stuff
5/5

Morrissey
3/5
Meh.
Elvis Presley
3/5
Meh.
Killing Joke
5/5
I ended up really liking this.
JAY Z
4/5
I didn't expect to like this. I don't really care for his voice. But I can't deny the quality of the production. Which was produced in part by Kanye West another person I can't stand. But again, they made some enjoyable work here for sure.
Beastie Boys
5/5
Love Beastie Boys. Love this album. So unique. So creative. So fun.
Syd Barrett
