I am stingy giving 5s, but no way could this be less than a 5 for me. Great lyrics / Great songwriter. I do like his voice; perfect for his lyrics.

4/5
Really good album
George Harrison
5/5
Just brilliant. I absolutely loved this when it came out and absolutely still love it. I have played this album so many times over and over through the years and never get sick of it. For me, as a Beatles lover, this is as great as most of the Beatles albums are, and is the best of any solo album by a Beatle.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
Never been a big fan of Springsteen.
This is a very underwhelming and boring album.
The Only Ones
2/5
Not good. Especially do not like the vocals.
Fatboy Slim
1/5
Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.
Tried listening to every song and couldn’t get through any of them. So repetitive that I’m sure I didn’t miss anything.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
Depressing. Did not enjoy listening to this.
Joanna Newsom
2/5
Cannot tolerate that voice.
Arcade Fire
3/5
Just average for me.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
A lot of not so great songs. Don’t care for a lot of the lyrics.
Would have given it a 2 if not for Breaking the Girl and Under the Bridge.
Joe Ely
2/5
I can tolerate a little country, but not this.
The Bees
3/5
Not good, not bad
Rage Against The Machine
2/5
Not the kind of music I like to listen to. This moved me in the wrong direction.
Sheryl Crow
3/5
Really liked the first song “Run, Baby, Run”, but then it went downhill for me. “All I Wanna Do” is a good song but I’m so tired of it and never care to hear it again. Didn’t hate this album but many songs are boring.
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
This is a big sleeper. Dull and boring. Do not like his voice.
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
Very fun upbeat album
Miriam Makeba
3/5
Very nice voice. Some of this is very good for what it is, but not my type of music.
Tom Waits
2/5
I somewhat liked the ballads:
Who You Are
A Little Rain
Whistle Down the Wind
I Don’t Wanna Grow Up
That Feel
I hated the rest.
Dr. Octagon
1/5
Awful. Tried to listen but couldn’t get through this.
Funkadelic
2/5
Not awful, but I didn't care for this album.
George Michael
3/5
His hits were good. The others were ok.
3/5
Good album but not their best one.
Sarah Vaughan
3/5
I appreciate her beautiful voice but I am not a big fan of jazz.
The Fall
2/5
Much of it sounds like just a bunch of noise.
Living Colour
3/5
This was ok in a mediocre way.
“Broken Hearts” was what I liked best.
Guided By Voices
3/5
Liked it more than I didn’t. Some songs were annoying. Overall it was ok.
Yes
4/5
Haven’t heard this group in a long time. Really enjoyed this; liked it very much.
Slade
4/5
Really good album. Never heard before. Reminded me of some of my favorite singers/groups of that time.
SAULT
2/5
Definitely not for me.
Green Day
3/5
I do like some of Green Day’s songs, but this album was just ok.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
3/5
Nice album
Kings of Leon
3/5
Every album starts out as a 3, then it's up or down from there. This one just sat there.
Crosby, Stills & Nash
5/5
One of my favorites
4/5
I don’t love U2 but this is a very good album.
James Brown
4/5
No denying his greatness
The Charlatans
4/5
Reminded me of Oasis, who I love, but The Charlatans are definitely not nearly as good. But I still liked this.
R.E.M.
4/5
Really good album
MC Solaar
1/5
I don't know or care if it's good or not. I just don't like it.
The Gun Club
2/5
Don’t enjoy this type of music
Beatles
5/5
The whole album is great. Every. Single. Song.
This is the best EARLY Beatle album. And they just kept getting better.
If I Fell is one of my favorite songs, although I love them all. Harmonizing is so good.
The opening chord is all you need to hear to identify the first song , “A Hard Day’s Night”.
The way the last song, “I’ll Be Back”, fades out at the end is brilliant and the perfect ending to the beginning of more great music to come.
How can anyone not like (or love) this???
Paul McCartney and Wings
4/5
I love Paul McCartney and like, not love, Wings.
This album has so many really good songs, but “Picasso’s Last Words” ruins this album.
Everything But The Girl
3/5
An ok sound; not great. A couple of songs were nice. Overall it was boring, although it wasn't totally unpleasant. Best use would be background music.
UB40
2/5
Don’t care for this
Coldplay
3/5
The best thing about this album is the song “Yellow”. One of their best songs.
"Trouble" is an ok song.
Most songs are just ok, if not boring.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
1/5
Pretty bad
Finley Quaye
2/5
This wasn’t really bad, but I didn’t care for it
Tom Tom Club
2/5
Less than liked.
Fugees
2/5
I think it's good for what it is but I don’t like it.
Arcade Fire
4/5
Like very much
Sonic Youth
2/5
No, I don't care for this music
U2
3/5
I can only take so much of U2.
A few decent songs but then I want to turn them off.
Bob Dylan
4/5
I love Dylan’s uniqueness and authenticity. This is not my favorite album of his but it’s still really good.
The Soft Boys
3/5
Mediocre at best. Some songs better than others, but nothing I'd rush to get back to.
3/5
Liked much of it
Supergrass
2/5
What I liked best (but didn't love):
Alright
Sofa of My Lethargy
Time To Go
The rest brought it down to 2
Scritti Politti
2/5
Not horrible, but did not need to be on this list.
Faith No More
2/5
I have to say no thank you to this one
Blur
3/5
I tried to like this but it was just ok. I’ll take Oasis over Blur any day.
Public Enemy
1/5
Listening to rap makes me want to plug my ears and run the other way.
M.I.A.
1/5
I immensely dislike Hip Hop. I don't know if this is good or bad but I just can't get through it as much as I try.
Barry Adamson
1/5
Music is to enjoy. Why would I ever need or want to listen to this??? A quick easy turn-off.
Miles Davis
3/5
Truly great. I’m just not a jazz lover.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
One of the greatest
Elliott Smith
5/5
Love this very much.
Melancholic
Beautiful voice
Beautiful songwriting
Muddy Waters
3/5
I think it’s good, but not what I care to listen to.
Culture Club
2/5
It’s just not a good album
Fred Neil
2/5
He gets more credit for being influential than for his own music success (or lack of). And it’s no wonder. This album is dull and boring.
I would never listen to it again.
David Bowie
3/5
Good, but not my favorite
Count Basie & His Orchestra
3/5
Very good big band sound in its time.
Slayer
1/5
Bunch of awful noise

Every song sounds the same.
I would not choose to listen to this, and if it came up I would turn it off.

3/5
I like some, but not all of this.
DJ Shadow
1/5
Awful to my ear
Quicksilver Messenger Service
2/5
Not enjoying this at all

2/5
Influential for a genre I dislike very much.
Talking Heads
2/5
Definitely not my favorite music
The Afghan Whigs
1/5
Bring me some better music.
Ash
4/5
I’ve heard so many bad albums come through lately, so I’m feeling a bit generous with this one.
N.W.A.
1/5
Can’t listen to this!
New Order
3/5
I generally do not care for the electronic genre, but parts of this aren’t too bad.
2.5 rounded up since I’ve had so many bad ones lately, but could have rounded down since I wouldn't seek to listen to this again.
Eels
3/5
Not as awful as I thought it may be. Torn between 2 and 3. Feeling generous.
The Velvet Underground
2/5
Don’t know how this can make anyone’s “best” list, unless it’s best for never hearing it again.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
3/5
Really good music. Not a jazz lover but I do love the piano.
Ms. Dynamite
2/5
Overall, more listenable than most hip hop, but I still don’t care for it
Ministry
1/5
This is horrible. I’m getting a slew of not so great albums and beginning to think there are no more good ones coming up on this list.
Black Sabbath
3/5
Although I’m not a big heavy metal fan, this is a great album. Gets boring after a while.
Elton John
4/5
Love Elton John. Some of these are good but many aren’t his best.
The Darkness
1/5
First song was a turn-off.
Second song was a turn-off.
And that’s how it went.
Cannot tolerate that voice.
Peter Frampton
4/5
Enjoyed this live album very much
King Crimson
4/5
Liked it, then didn’t, then did…
Some of this was so good and other parts were so-so.
Hate the album cover.
Overall for me, probably a 3, but I think it’s deserving of a 4.
John Martyn
2/5
Not to my liking at all
Prince
3/5
Obviously very popular, but not my favorite music
Michael Kiwanuka
3/5
Really really nice
The Who
4/5
Great debut album. And they got better.
Neu!
3/5
Regarding music I like, it’s a 2; but I think it deserves a 3.
OK for background music but I likely wouldn’t listen to this again.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
Fabulous album
5/5
My absolute favorite Bowie album! So great!!
Frank Black
3/5
Did not love this, but some songs were ok.

4/5
Not in love with Coldplay but I did like this album.
Jerry Lee Lewis
3/5
Good music for that time period.
Al Green
3/5
Nice, soulful
Lenny Kravitz
3/5
It’s ok - good, not great.
Madness
3/5
Our House was the only familiar song to me. Didn’t particularly like the album but it wasn’t awful.
De La Soul
2/5
I'm simply not a hip hop lover and this didn't change my mind.
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Although synth-pop is not my favorite genre, I liked many songs on this album. Sticking with a 3 because even though I like it, I don't think it's particularly great.
Missy Elliott
2/5
I just don’t like this genre no matter how many times I give it a try when these albums come up. Not totally to my dislike as many others.
Prince
3/5
Worthy of all the 4s and 5s, but as to what I like to listen to it’s really a 3 for me. I do love the song Purple Rain but not a lover of the rest of the songs.
Wilco
3/5
Some boring songs, some good songs.
T. Rex
3/5
First time listening to this. Liked very much.
Gil Scott-Heron
2/5
Some pretty boring stuff here
Gorillaz
2/5
Mostly dull and boring for me

4/5
Nice album. I give it a 3.5, but better than many of my 3s, so elevating to 4.
Morrissey
3/5
Not bad, not good
Duke Ellington
3/5
I don't care to listen to jazz, even when it's good.
Tom Waits
1/5
I so much did not like this
Beth Orton
4/5
Had not heard this before. Like very much. Beautiful voice.
Sister Sledge
3/5
Some disco was ok in it’s day. That’s where this lands for me.
The Killers
3/5
A few good ones. 3.5 but holding at 3.
Dennis Wilson
4/5
So many really good songs. Loved most of this.
The instrumentation was very good. The Piano Variations On Thoughts Of You, and Holy Man are particularly very beautiful.
It is a bit long, but that doesn’t bother me since I liked it so much. However, if it didn't include a couple songs that were so-so, I would have rated it a 5.
Ray Price
2/5
Good or bad, I’m not a lover of classic country music.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
5/5
Such a great album. Great harmonies.
Brings back great memories
Beyoncé
3/5
Seems overproduced. I do feel the commercialism rather than genuine emotion. Don’t particularly like a lot of her music but she does have a very good voice.
Beatles
5/5
Covers and originals, this is a great album of the early Beatles. I love every song. I don’t think there’s any Beatle album I don’t love even though some are better than others.
Björk
1/5
Say what you want…
Experimental…Original…Ambitious…Imaginative…Creative…
It may be all of that, but not in a good way. To me me it’s just plain weird and horrible. Not enjoyable at all.
Queen
4/5
I wasn’t a big Queen fan when they first came around, but over the years I found myself liking and appreciating their music so much more. This is a really good album. Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song. That, and a few other songs, are a 5 for sure, but overall the album is a 4 for me.
Brian Eno
3/5
Some of this is really good, but some not so much.
The Jam
2/5
Not great
Metallica
2/5
I can’t say it’s not good, but I don’t like it

Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Really great musician
Dion
4/5
Enjoyed this album very much.
Johnny Cash
3/5
Johnny Cash. It must be good. Coming from someone who doesn’t love country music.
Simply Red
3/5
A couple of ok songs. Overall not very good but not the worst I've heard.
5/5
As close to perfection as you can get. In fact, it IS perfection!
Taylor Swift
3/5
Good pop album
The Black Keys
3/5
Really liked some songs, really didn't like some songs.
Stephen Stills
3/5
Like in a mediocre kind of way
1/5
What the heck is this??? It’s quite horrible.

3/5
Really good; I just happen to not love listening to a lot of jazz music

3/5
Some nice songs, and some not so good. Overall just ok.

Very nice

I like Paul Simon. This one is ok.
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Good 60s music
OutKast
1/5
Maybe it’s good, or maybe not, but I do not like hip hop. Tried listening, but no way can I tolerate over 2 hours of this.
Jeru The Damaja
1/5
Can't listen to this
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
Really good album
Pixies
2/5
I don't think it's bad; I just didn't care for it. Had to give it a 2 because there's not a single song I'd want to listen to again.
Kraftwerk
2/5
Very repetitive. Not music I care to listen to.
Joan Baez
3/5
Back in the 60s I remember this as a beautiful folk album.
It seemed perfect back then, but not so much now.
Any one song by itself is nice, but a whole album of this is a bit too much. I was wondering when it was going to end.
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Musical poetry
The Yardbirds
4/5
Good 60s album. Still good.
The Young Gods
1/5
Unpleasant annoying noise and an awful voice = horrible music

Overall not enjoyable.
D'Angelo
2/5
Just did not care for this
Alanis Morissette
4/5
Love this album
So many good songs

Beautiful album
The Mothers Of Invention
1/5
Awful

4/5
Beautiful album. Love his music. Love his voice. Such a shame he left us too soon.
Stereolab
2/5
Repetitive electronic music. Do not like at all.
Leftfield
2/5
Another unpleasant electronic album.
Talvin Singh
2/5
Three electronic albums in a row. Someone is making me go crazy in a bad way.
2/5
4 electronic albums in a row.
I’m on a roll. And I don’t like it.
Small Faces
3/5
Enjoyed this album that I never heard before. Many really nice songs.
The Fall
2/5
Mostly horrible
King Crimson
2/5

4/5
Always love listening to Neil Young and his music

This is just ok. I don’t love a lot of jazz.
Metallica
4/5
Loved so much of this.
The Mamas & The Papas
5/5
A treasure. Great album. Great harmonies.
This is every bit a part of many great memories from back then.
JAY Z
1/5
Don’t like anything about this. Hate the lyrics.
Crowded House
4/5
A nice new discovery for me. I liked it very much.
Elastica
2/5
Maybe not bad but I don’t care for it. Would not want to listen to this again.
This is a true 2.5 and wasn’t sure whether to go up or down. In the end nothing pushed me to 3.
Ray Charles
4/5
Great voice put to good use. Very good album.
Orange Juice
2/5
Not good, but there are worse.
Goldie
1/5
Quite awful.
I don’t get this at all.
Eagles
3/5
I do NOT hate the Eagles. Par for a debut album. But they did get better.
Paul Simon
4/5
This is really nice, but of course the better was yet to come.
The Byrds
5/5
I was very happy to see this one come through. Absolutely one of my favorite bands from that time period. Love this album. Mr Tamborine Man has always been one of my favorite songs whether listening to the original Dylan or listening the Byrds cover.
Motörhead
2/5
I can only take so much of this type of music. I did kinda like the title tract but after that it went downhill. Songs began to sound the same, and annoying.
Robert Wyatt
1/5
Horrible vocals. Did not care for the music. Perfect title.
The White Stripes
3/5
It took me until the 4th song (Forever for Her) for me to determine i didn’t hate this.
Forever For Her was my favorite song on here and some of the remaining songs were pretty good.
Mudhoney
2/5
Don’t like the music or yelling vocals.
Annoying noise is the best way for me to describe this.
Nico
1/5
Instrumentals are nice but vocals are just not good and very boring.
Mj Cole
1/5
Just plain horrible
Bee Gees
4/5
I love the Bee Gees. Love their harmonies and unique voices. This is not one of their best albums but I still like many, not all, the songs. Lion in Winter was a pretty horrible song. I still need to give it a 4.
Very good album. Enjoyed it very much.
Pere Ubu
1/5
Right from the beginning screech I hated this. Could not get through it.
The Go-Betweens
4/5
My first listen to this album and I liked it very much.
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Beautiful album of some of his lesser known songs (at least to me).

2/5
Some very boring songs. Not all bad but there’s not even one song I’d care to listen to again.
The Beach Boys
5/5
Love it. A true masterpiece.

It's fine

3/5
Did not enjoy this very much.
The Roots
1/5
No to Rap. I try to listen, but just can’t.
Heaven 17
1/5
Definitely not something I needed to listen to!
Hot Chip
3/5
I don’t care for electronic music, but some of this was ok
Hole
2/5
I hate Courtney’s screaming voice. Some of the songs were ok when she wasn’t screaming.
It’s a 2.5 for me, but I have to round down because I wouldn’t listen to this again.
Madonna
3/5
There are a couple of songs I love but more that I don't care for. I'm keeping this one at a 3.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Grew up with this and I love it
Elton John
5/5
What a gift to the music world!
Circle Jerks
1/5
Another album that’s nothing but a lot of horrible noise.
Mylo
1/5
I do feel like this is music while on hold. And repetitively annoying. Or annoyingly repetitive.
Paul Revere & The Raiders
4/5
Always liked this group. Enjoyed this album very much.
Mike Oldfield
3/5
Pretty amazing it was composed when he was age 19. Very good accomplishment.
2Pac
2/5
Don't like rap at but this wasn't as bad as most. Dear Mama is actually a beautiful song.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Just fine
Goldfrapp
3/5
Some of this is nice. None of this is great.
Afrika Bambaataa
1/5
I don’t know if this is good music or not, but I know I don’t like it at all.
Spiritualized
1/5
Belongs in outer space. Far, far, away.
The Who
5/5
Maybe you had to be there back then to know how great this is. I love this album - one of my all time favorites.
5/5
Nothing less than great!
Genesis
3/5
Good album for the most part.
The Prodigy
1/5
I don’t get this at all.
The Libertines
3/5
Parts of this were ok, but overall I didn’t think this was a very good album.
2.5 elevated to a 3 since I didn’t turn it off.
Caetano Veloso
3/5
Vocals were nice enough. Not something I’d to listen to again.
Gang Of Four
2/5
Maybe this is good for fans of post-punk, but you can see how I feel about it.
Rahul Dev Burman
2/5
Some Indian music is nice to listen to. This was not enjoyable to me, although I did think Romantic Theme was a beautiful number.
Bobby Womack
3/5
Nice soulful album
fIREHOSE
3/5
Didn't love it by any means, but didn't mind some of it.
A true 2.5
TV On The Radio
2/5
A few good moments, but if this album came up again I’d turn it off
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
3/5
Some of this is pretty weird. A few good ones.
Dead Kennedys
2/5
Not good. I would never listen to this again.
The Cure
4/5
I enjoyed this music very much
Can
2/5
A little too weird for me

2/5
Unpleasant noise. Simply don’t like.

4/5
Incredible music
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Nice. Smooth and soulful.
X-Ray Spex
1/5
I have zero interest in this music
Miles Davis
2/5
I know this is highly regarded, but I just cannot get into jazz.
Digital Underground
1/5
So very unpleasant
R.E.M.
5/5
So good
Alexander 'Skip' Spence
2/5
Good reason why I never heard of this before.
Good reason why this was not promoted by Columbia Records.
Good reason why this was at the time the lowest-selling album in Columbia Records history.
Good reason why this was deleted from the Columbia catalogue within a year of its release.
No good reason for this appearing here.
The Psychedelic Furs
3/5
Didn’t love, didn’t hate
Destiny's Child
3/5
A commercial success but it's really not that great.
Kanye West
1/5
I can't (won't) listen to him. It's a big 0.
Green Day
4/5
This may be my favorite album of theirs.
Pulp
4/5
I’m a first timer on this album and I liked it very much. Really a 3.5 but bumping it up.
Simple Minds
2/5
Wasn’t too bad, but didn’t like it enough to give it a 3.
The White Stripes
2/5
I liked a couple of songs, but overall didn’t care for this album
The Black Crowes
4/5
I don't know why I haven’t listened to a lot of The Black Crowes music, but I do like this very much. I'll revisit their music again. For now I'm pushing it to a 4.
Stephen Stills
4/5
Like very much. Back and forth between 3 and 4, but sticking with 4.
Johnny Cash
3/5
I’m not a country music lover. If I were, would I have liked this better? I thought the music was much better than the singing. Lots of depressing songs. I didn’t think the covers were that good. I am surprised at the high ratings. For me it’s a 2.5 but I’ll up it to 3.
Steely Dan
4/5
It’s simply really good music
Donald Fagen
3/5
I like Steely Dan, but not Donald Fagan as a solo artist. Maybe it’s really a 2.
Miles Davis
2/5
Three jazz albums in a row. I really don’t understand jazz to tell if it’s good or not, but I mostly don't care for it. I found this album very boring to listen to.
Cornershop
3/5
Not great, but I did like some of the songs.
Giant Sand
1/5
This was a chore of no enchantment.
So dreary.
I guess this is the kind of album you make when you can’t sing.
2/5
Don't care very much for this.
Barry Adamson
2/5
No thank you
David Bowie
5/5
Not all Bowie albums are a 5, but this one is. One of his best; one of my favorites.
1/5
Horrible, screechy, unpleasant noise.
ZZ Top
3/5
I never listened to a lot of ZZ Top. It's just ok for me.
Judas Priest
3/5
Good enough. Middle of the road.
The Dandy Warhols
3/5
Some songs are worth a 4, but overall it’s a 3 for me.

No interest in this.
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
Really good album

4/5
He’s so good
Dagmar Krause
1/5

No thank you

Duran Duran
3/5
I don’t know what it is that I DO like about this album.
I don’t know what it is that I DON’T like about this album.
I guess that puts this in the middle for me.

1/5
This lands among the worst music I've ever heard (if it can even be called music).
Haircut 100
2/5
Maybe not horrible, but definitely not good
Brian Wilson
4/5
Not sure this was randomly generated, coming a day after his death. Nevertheless, I always love to hear his voice. Even though some of these songs weren't that great, I still enjoyed listening to this album.
Marvin Gaye
4/5
A beautiful album

Good album. Not my go-to but would listen again.

Ryan Adams
3/5
An ok listen. Wouldn't seek to listen again, but may not turn it off.
Teenage Fanclub
4/5
Based on their name and the album cover, I expected that I wouldn’t like this.
But actually I did like this album very much. Had some Beach Boy vibes.
Sugar
3/5
I liked this more than not, but I didn't love it.
Kanye West
1/5
I will not listen to him and his garbage. There should be an option for 0. He’s not worth the time it took me to write this.

2/5
I don’t think it’s really bad, I just don’t like it
Dire Straits
3/5
Some really nice music.
Why Worry and Brothers in Arms are beautiful songs.
Super Furry Animals
2/5
Not much to like on this one.

I listened through this and it was somewhat ok.
It's a 2.5 for me, but I'd turn it off if I heard it again so I'm going with a 2.
Oasis
5/5
YES YES YES
It doesn’t have to be their best album in order to still love it.

2/5
It’s ok but I wouldn’t visit it again. Not music I like to listen to.

2/5
At best an ok blues album. Not my favorite. Best track was The Healer featuring Santana.

3/5
Kind of nice. Nothing special.
Sonic Youth
2/5
Let’s play a bunch of noise and make an album

Aerosmith
3/5
Good, but not my favorite Aerosmith album.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Great singer. Great album.
Ride
3/5

The Modern Lovers
2/5
Not the worst album I’ve heard, but that’s the best I can say.

5/5
So happy this came up. Love it!

Not their best

1/5
I wouldn't know good hip hop from bad, but either way I don't like it.
Doves
3/5
Not bad; better than Coldplay
Taylor Swift
4/5
Never cared for her hits that were always overplayed, and I therefore never listened to any of her albums other than The Tortured Poets Department (which I surprisingly liked). This is the second album of hers that I have listened to, and really enjoyed it. Beautiful music and the lyrics are so good.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Just ok. Don't love the album, but love the cover.
Love
2/5
The vocals ruin this music, otherwise I may have liked this
Deee-Lite
1/5
A total turn-off

CHVRCHES
2/5
The more I listened to this the less I liked it.

Less than ok
Elvis Presley
4/5
Always a pleasure listening to Elvis

Lambchop
2/5
Quite boring and uninteresting
Chicago
4/5
A few great songs from a great band. Overall a good album, but they got better.
Dr. John
2/5
Failed to chart when it came out. I wonder why.
Hole

I just can't get through a hip-hop album, no matter how good it may (or may not) be.
Anthrax
2/5
I suppose I could have given this a 1
Kendrick Lamar
1/5
One of the highest regarded albums that I just don’t like
Randy Newman
2/5
Listening to this kind of music throughout a kid movie is more than enough
Gene Clark
4/5
I wouldn’t consider this one of the greatest albums ever, but it’s pretty good considering it was a failure when released. Started as a 3 but the more I listened the more I liked it.
Eminem
1/5
This genre is a big no for me. Not enjoyable at all.
The Incredible String Band
1/5
Awful

3/5

Pretty good but don't love it

This reinforces how much I dislike electronic music
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
Depressing and boring
Rufus Wainwright
2/5
Most of the songs are drawn out and boring.

Fats Domino
3/5
Good music from the past
Scissor Sisters
3/5

Not a fan. Among other things, I don't care for his voice.
Nirvana
3/5
Respect for their music although mostly not for me. I only like a couple of songs on this album. A generous 3
Carpenters
2/5
Haven’t listened to this in years and now I know why. Even though this album was well liked at the time, I’m surprised it still gets so many great reviews today. Credit for a beautiful voice but these are awful covers of some great music. Awful song (We’ve Only Just Begun) that at the time was everyone’s overplayed wedding theme song. Overall too sappy.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
Stevie Wonder is great. Although this album is considered one of the greatest, it’s not one of my favorites.
The Damned
2/5
Never heard this before. Not enjoyable to me.
The Magnetic Fields
2/5
I can easily listen to music for 3 hours. But not this music. Could not get through the whole album. Some of it was dreadful.

I guess it’s good if you like Metal. But I don’t. At least not this.

Such a great album. Among the best ever.
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
2/5
Utterly slow and boring
Hüsker Dü
3/5
It’s really not that good, but a little better than others that I rated as 2.
I got tired of listening to 20 songs that all sounded alike.
Peter Gabriel
3/5
I thought I liked him better than what I heard on this album.
Songs were all over the place. Averaged out to a 3.
Favorite song was Here Comes the Flood.
The Jam
3/5
Some pretty good songs. Some not as enjoyable.

2/5
The more I listened, the less I liked this

Great album.
Two double albums in a row and happily loved both.
Goldfrapp
1/5
Painfully slow and boring
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Love the Stones but don’t love this album with mostly covers. The song I liked best happens to be the only one written by Jagger and Richards (“Tell Me”).
John Lennon
4/5
John Lennon sure knew how to bare his soul and express himself
Radiohead
3/5
I can understand the "like" on this one, but not the "love".

4/5
This is a really good album
Justice
1/5
Repetitive noise
Jamiroquai
3/5
Nice album
Van Morrison
4/5
I enjoy this album very much. Close, but not quite, a 5 for me.
Tim Buckley
3/5
I do like a lot of Jeff Buckley’s music, but not so much this album.
Nice voice, but a bit dreary. Good enough for a 3.
Sigur Rós
3/5
At first I wasn’t liking this album. The more I listened, and learned a little about its meaning, the more I liked it. But I still didn’t come to love it.
Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása was my favorite track. It’s really beautiful. Maybe after another listen I may have rated this a little higher.
Antony and the Johnsons
3/5
Ooh, I don’t care for the vocals at all, but piano music is beautiful.
Wild Beasts
3/5
No to the vocals.
OK to the music.
PJ Harvey
2/5
This may be ok but I just don't enjoy this music. Would never seek to listen and would likely turn most of these songs off if I heard them again.
2.5 but I can't round up.
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Greatest guitarist of all time.
Megadeth
2/5
Some of the guitar music is the only good thing about this album, in my opinion.
Neneh Cherry
2/5
Not the worst I've heard, but overall did not like. A couple songs were ok but nothing great.

4/5
Another good album that I never heard before.
David Bowie
3/5
Nice album

5/5
A great album by a great group. Not much more to say.
Blood, Sweat & Tears
4/5
Wow - haven’t heard this since way back and happy it came along here. They were a great group and I’m still loving this. Nice jazzy rock.

4/5
I always loved listening to this album. I guess I still do.

1/5
Pretty horrible

Fairport Convention
4/5
Really nice album
50 Cent
1/5
Can't listen to this stuff
Moby
2/5
Some songs were hard to get through. Some were ok. One or two were beautiful. A lot of repetitive sounds. Maybe it’s worthy of a 3, but much of what I didn’t like brought it down to a 2 for me.
The Stooges
2/5
Not on my list of good music
Os Mutantes
2/5
Do not care for this music

It’s a beautiful album to just sit back and relax and enjoy.

Transported me to a nice island beach.
The Temptations
4/5
Nothing like some good 70s R&B
Mercury Rev
5/5
First time listening and I love it. What a great discovery.
This band formed and played in my hometown and I can’t believe I had never heard of them before.
3/5
This was a weird one.
Yes, some strange lyrics, although some of the music was ok.
Vocals sounded like Paul McCartney but of course nowhere nearly as good.
Overall nothing significant.
Not awful enough for a 2 although nothing I’d care to listen to again.

4/5
Definite sound from the 70s. And that's not a bad thing.
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
The more I listened the worse it got

3/5
As far as my personal taste goes, I'd give it a 2. But although I don't particularly like it, I do think it's worth a 3.

Nice album

2/5

Manic Street Preachers
4/5
Heard some of their music before but had never listened to any of their albums. I very much liked this album.

4/5
Really good album
Brian Eno
3/5
It is what it is.
It’s background music.
And it’s nice.
For what it is.
But even then it gets boring.

1/5
A bunch of boring noise. When I listen to music, this is not what I want to hear.
