Popular Reviews
The Triffids · 6 likes
5/5
Never heard of these guys. Interesting story behind the band and David McComb. I liked the album so much I listened to another one. I'm not sure how to characterize it. Maybe alternative pop with a side of melancholy?
PJ Harvey · 3 likes
2/5
I still don't get why she's on here at all let alone multiple times.
Kelela · 2 likes
2/5
This album sounds like 100 other R&B albums. Very meh.
Syd Barrett · 1 likes
5/5
Exactly what one would expect if they know the history of Syd. I love this kind of plodding, psychedelic music. You're not playing this at an upbeat party but it really is an outstanding example of this kind of music.
The Incredible String Band · 1 likes
4/5
Weird and wonderful psychedelic music. Not surprising this isn't well reviewed but I like this kind of music.

Led Zeppelin
4/5
Better than I remembered. A really good album recorded better than some other LZ albums.
A Tribe Called Quest
5/5
Al Green
3/5
Enjoyable but not a listen multiple times album.
Amy Winehouse
3/5
Not my type of music I guess but I can see it being amazing and different for its time.
Sam Cooke
4/5
Really enjoyable album. Reminds me of Animal House. Probably not a multiple listen but certainly fun.
The Kinks
3/5
Not my favorite Kinks album. Not even sure why it’s considered great without reading about it.
Neil Young
5/5
Great album but not even my favorite Neil Young.
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
5/5
Great album. I prefer this sort of rock blues compared to blues blues.
The Cars
5/5
I didn’t realize I’d like it as much as I did. I never really got into The Cars.
James Brown
3/5
Nothing special. Sounds like James Brown. Probably a little shocking for the time.
The Mamas & The Papas
2/5
Syd Barrett
5/5
Exactly what one would expect if they know the history of Syd. I love this kind of plodding, psychedelic music. You're not playing this at an upbeat party but it really is an outstanding example of this kind of music.
Foo Fighters
4/5
One or two that I didn't enjoy but overall a great album.
Neil Young
5/5
Outstanding album. Not sure if I ever listened to it before.
Bad Brains
4/5
Really good album. Does not sound like the 80's. Genre crossing. I can hear that Living Color would call them an influence.
Gang Of Four
5/5
Outstanding, well recorded album. I'd never heard of them until about a year ago surprisingly. Elements of so many styles and done in a more polished way than expected for the time period and genre.
Kendrick Lamar
3/5
Not as good as I expected overall. I'd heard a handful of songs off the album before and liked them but others are not so good.
JAY Z
5/5
Great album. His delivery and voice appeal in a way most others don't. Only compaint is maybe it gets a little "samey" after a while.
Michael Jackson
1/5
Not listening to pedo Mike.
Van Halen
3/5
Way ahead of it's time. Brings me back but I doubt I would listen to it much.
David Bowie
4/5
Excellent album. I'd rather listen all the way through than a song here and there. I'd buy the vinyl.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
3/5
Meh. Was listenable but not something I want to hear often. Sounds kind of like too much noise at once.
Johnny Cash
4/5
Enjoyable listen. I've never heard it all the way through but have heard most in parts. Not a country fan but this is decent.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
1/5
I almost made it through 4 songs. It sounds so repetitive and twangy.
The Offspring
4/5
Can't believe this album is that old. I never thought I'd feel nostalgic for The Offspring but this is a great album.
Taylor Swift
3/5
Catchy songs. Enjoyable listen. I doubt I'd listen again because it's not my taste.
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
I knew some of their songs already but didn't really know who sung them. I would actively seek out their stuff now.
Muddy Waters
4/5
Well recorded. Songs are too short but he probably did that on purpose as he was playing to a festival crowd and not necessarily a Muddy Waters' crowd.
Van Morrison
5/5
Sounds like Van Morrison...of course. Outstanding album.
Various Artists
4/5
Solomon Burke
2/5
Daft Punk
2/5
Needs to be listened to at loud volumes for full effect. Definitely not my thing.
Madonna
4/5
I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. It's kind of haunting sounding and not poppy.
The War On Drugs
5/5
Outstanding! I didn't really know who they were. I know Kurt Vile and see he left the band early on.
Thelonious Monk
5/5
If you love old jazz with piano, you'll like this. To be fair, I haven't listened to much Monk that I don't like.
Fugees
5/5
So, so good. Pretty close to a perfect album.
Radiohead
3/5
Interesting album. It feels old timey, psychedelic and experimental all at the same time. I'm not sure when I would sit down and listen to this to "enjoy". It feels like an album people say they love because it's cool to love something so different and alternative.
The Specials
3/5
Album is fine. Not great, not bad. I don't mind ska and not sure why this one is considered so great.
Digital Underground
3/5
Good album. I owned the cassette. I don't find that it sticks out a ton more than some others of this style around that time.
Dexys Midnight Runners
3/5
I don't mind it but the horns overwhelm.
Sigur Rós
4/5
Dreamland "music". I like it but opportunities to sit and listen to it would be few.
The Flying Burrito Brothers
3/5
Slightly more enjoyable the most country music but still not my bag.
Frank Sinatra
4/5
Enjoyable as any Frank album.
Motörhead
2/5
The whole album sounds similar. Lemmy growling with heavy guitars. I've never listened to an entire Motorhead album and don't need to again.
The Stooges
2/5
Not my thing. Some decent music but then quite a bit of noise for the sake of noise.
Sheryl Crow
4/5
Great album. So refreshing. I'm sure there's some nostalgia kicking in too.
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
I didn't quite make it through the whole thing. Bruce's music is some of the cheesiest, hokiest around. Chick music for dudes. It's truly unbearable.
Isaac Hayes
3/5
Nothing remarkable. A couple of good songs but mostly just average stuff.
Pantera
3/5
I'm not sure when one would listen to this kind of music except working out or some other hobby that being angry is a plus. It's not awful. I've actually seen them in concert in 1994 but I just don't see listening very often.
Black Sabbath
3/5
A perfectly ok album that's not really my taste in music.
Miles Davis
5/5
Amazing album. Not much else to say.
Country Joe & The Fish
4/5
Already had this album in my favorites. More great psychedelic music. I can see why many don't like this but it's one of my favorite genres.
The Residents
1/5
I truly don't get this. Mostly unrelated noise. I've said this for other albums, but I don't understand when someone would sit down and listen to this. I can't think of a single moment, except maybe tripping, that this would be enjoyable.
Kraftwerk
3/5
Interesting album. Not my taste in terms of style but not the worst.
Muddy Waters
4/5
Muddy Waters albums seem to surprise me with how much I enjoy them. They're not as bluesy as I expect. Songs are complex and jammy. I liked this one quite a bit.
AC/DC
3/5
Sounds like AC/DC.
Dennis Wilson
2/5
Meh.
Linkin Park
5/5
Rap rock? Rock rap? Either way, it's a great album. I like crossover albums like crossover cuisine...mexican and sushi, asian and anything. Nothing wrong with blending. Often times you get a better version of both.
New York Dolls
3/5
Just punk enough to be cool. Just rock enough to be cool. Grunge before grunge?
Julian Cope
5/5
I liked this album a lot. Never heard him before...that I remember. Psychedelic, punk, brooding, odd. I need to listen again.
The Triffids
5/5
Never heard of these guys. Interesting story behind the band and David McComb. I liked the album so much I listened to another one. I'm not sure how to characterize it. Maybe alternative pop with a side of melancholy?
Marvin Gaye
4/5
Great mellow listening album. Smooth and funky.
The Dictators
3/5
Kate Bush
2/5
I don't get it. This is a slightly less than mediocre album with lots of sound the same songs. It's 80's adult contemporary before it was considered adult contemporary.
Pulp
3/5
After reading the other reviews apparently I need to listen to the lyrics. I usually don't which is why I like some music that others don't and vice versa. Lyrics aside (obviously), I thought this was a bog standard album that I most likely will never hear again. I'm glad I didn't "hear" the lyrics. I may not have gotten through it.
PJ Harvey
2/5
Avant grunge. Sounds unrehearsed and raw. Not my thing.
Giant Sand
4/5
I enjoyed this. Never heard of them before. Gives me a modern Lou Reed kind of feel. I'd like to check out some other albums.
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
1/5
This is a tough listen. "Singing" out of sync. So alternative that it's cool to like.
The Avalanches
5/5
Loved this album. Dreamy but not samey. Musical and creative. On a good stereo it sounds incredible.
Eels
4/5
Pretty good. Never heard of them before. Indie alt easy listening.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
I really have trouble getting into any Nick Cave stuff and this is no exception. It sounds like dramatic talking with some music playing in the background.
Michael Kiwanuka
5/5
Relaxing and enjoyable. I love his voice.
Bob Dylan
5/5
Outstanding album. Not everyone (or many people) love Dylan's voice but I like it and the songwriting is brilliant.
Public Enemy
5/5
What's to say? It's Public Enemy. It sounds like Public Enemy. It's awesome!
De La Soul
5/5
Amazing, incredible, ground breaking album. I owned this when it came out. It’s still fresh sounding.
Little Richard
2/5
Spiritualized
3/5
Interesting "modern" psychedelic music. I love the genre but don't love this. It's too bright. I'm not even sure what that means but that's what it sounds like to me.
Keith Jarrett
4/5
If you like piano, you'll probably like this. His vocalizations get a little odd but not overly distracting unless you really let them get to you.
Van Morrison
5/5
Upbeat, enjoyable album. His iconic voice can't be mistaken. Music is good. Variety is good.
Bill Evans Trio
5/5
Beck
4/5
Super Furry Animals
2/5
Odd.
Coldplay
4/5
Dream rock, stadium rock...whatever you want to call it. It's like guilty pleasure music. Guilty only because of how much shit they get. I had never listened to a whole Coldplay album until today but I've heard most of their songs at different times. I can see why this is on the list. Not a bad song on it.
George Michael
3/5
First handful of songs are the popular ones for good reason. Too many love songs on the "B" side of the album. I don't understand why this would be on there.
Robert Wyatt
1/5
No
Big Brother & The Holding Company
4/5
Between hard rock and psychedelic. Excellent combo.
XTC
3/5
It's a band everyone should know. His voice is not the most soothing but it's quite unique. like some of their other albums better but I get why this is on there.
Metallica
5/5
Somehow they made heavy metal accessible and mainstream.
The Shamen
3/5
Beatles
4/5
An enjoyable Beatles album as it's not fun and boppy/poppy.
Steve Earle
2/5
Not good. Hokey country music.
Primal Scream
3/5
Interesting album. I'll have to give it a closer listen sometime.
Deep Purple
4/5
Epitome of a rock album.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
Probably a good album but I'm really sick of them so hard to listen.
David Holmes
1/5
I have no idea what this is. It's boring and pointless.
The Pogues
3/5
The Who
3/5
Not a Who fan but I remember this one being really popular back in the day.
Stereolab
3/5
Ms. Dynamite
4/5
Paul Simon
5/5
I can't believe I had never heard this album, just a couple songs. Brilliant songwriting and his voice is amazing.
The Doors
5/5
The Velvet Underground
4/5
Motörhead
2/5
If you don't like Motorhead, you won't like this. I don't and I didn't. WHy this would be on here along with their other album with some of the same songs is a mystery. There's nothing groundbreaking or even different about them playing live.
David Bowie
4/5
Fantastic album.
Soul II Soul
2/5
Boring, generic album. If this band wasn't UK based they'd never get on this list.
G. Love & Special Sauce
4/5
Fun, funky album.
Television
3/5
I didn't mind at all. Never heard of them and probably won't listen again but I didn't not enjoy it.
Peter Gabriel
3/5
Poorly recorded. Decent album.
Elvis Costello
3/5
The Chemical Brothers
2/5
Meh. It's a little too avant garde for this type of music, in my opinion.
Radiohead
3/5
I don't understand the Radiohead hype. This is fine, but not great.
Q-Tip
5/5
Outstanding. Catchy. Amazing album.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
He talks.
The Flaming Lips
3/5
Baaba Maal
2/5
"Pretty" music but the voice is unbearable. That twangy whine that Indian and Middle Eastern music often has is just grating to me.
Waylon Jennings
3/5
Not a country fan but this is decent.
The Byrds
5/5
Has it all for a 60's album. Rock, folk, psychedelia. Love this one!
Steely Dan
5/5
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
1/5
Not my thing. Unlistenable.
The Undertones
4/5
I enjoyed this much more than expected. Not too punk, not too hardcore.
Miles Davis
4/5
Pulp
4/5
Tom Waits
2/5
I don't get Tom Waits. He sounds like Bruce on steroids. I don't get Bruce either.
The Incredible String Band
4/5
Weird and wonderful psychedelic music. Not surprising this isn't well reviewed but I like this kind of music.
Adele
5/5
808 State
3/5
Dr. Dre
5/5
Dire Straits
5/5
Outstanding! They really are one of the best of all time.
Tori Amos
3/5
Nice but a little religious sounding at spots. Not my favorite woman vocalist.
Red Snapper
4/5
Some ok stuff and some great, funky stuff. I liked the last handful of songs a lot.
Ananda Shankar
2/5
The Isley Brothers
4/5
Not what I expected...for the better. Funky and 3 covers that work better than the originals.
Jimmy Smith
5/5
The Monks
3/5
Hard to find streaming. YouTube was the only place and unsure of the quality. Interesting album that I enjoyed. The description sounds worse than it is.
Thin Lizzy
4/5
Much better than I thought or remembered. Not sure I'd listen to it very often but that was not bad at all.
The Auteurs
4/5
Never heard of The Auteurs before. I really liked this album and will definitely explore them more.
Pavement
3/5
Fine. It doesn't stand out from any of the others during the 90's.
The Stone Roses
3/5
Nothing stands out about this. Rather boring actually.
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
Dead Kennedys
3/5
Alexander 'Skip' Spence
4/5
The Velvet Underground
3/5
Fairport Convention
3/5
Couldn't find the entire album. What I was able to find was ok.
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
Not near as good as Rumours. Some good songs some not so good.
Antony and the Johnsons
4/5
Ray Charles
4/5
John Grant
3/5
a-ha
4/5
Good 80's album from what most people would consider a one hit wonder band.
3/5
I don't think I like the Beatles near as much as most. I just don't fully get it.
Bob Dylan
5/5
Great album by Dylan that I've never heard.
The Stooges
2/5
Recording is horrible which makes this album close to unlistenable. The music is ok and nothing I'd listen to again.
Ramones
3/5
Decent album. Every song is like 2 minutes long. Easy to listen to but tough to get into.
Air
3/5
Good, not great. I can see in '98 that it was pretty amazing.
Genesis
2/5
Phil Collins' voice grates on me as does Peter Gabriel's sometimes. Tough to listen to.
Nick Drake
2/5
Not interesting at all.
Fela Kuti
3/5
Zombie the song is repetitive. Decent stuff all around. You'd probably have to be tuned in at the time to understand how groundbreaking this album would be. I was not.
Boston
4/5
Iconic album that anyone my age has heard tons of times. I've never been a fan. Now it's nostalgia.
The Who
3/5
No surprises. It's The Who sounding like The Who.
Sebadoh
2/5
A few good songs but too much simple punk.
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
New Order
4/5
The Coral
4/5
Never heard of The Coral. They have a modern psychedelic vibe to them. Well recorded, talented, just polished enough. I like these guys.
Oasis
3/5
Recorded horribly so sounds worse than it probably is. I still don't get why they were considered so incredible. They sound like an average band.
Pet Shop Boys
4/5
Quality album. Inoffensive. Easy to listen to.
Christina Aguilera
3/5
I couldn't quite make it through the whole thing. She has an amazing voice but not my preference for music.
Wire
4/5
Punk Ramones and much better songwriters than them. I didn't feel like I was listening to the same song over and over again.
Booker T. & The MG's
2/5
Not overly exciting.
Steely Dan
5/5
R.E.M.
5/5
The Beach Boys
2/5
I really dislike The Beach Boys. I'm not sure why. I made it through two thirds of the album and had to stop. It's cheesy, hokey, upbeat. They're like a skit where a band is trying hard to be all those things...but they're real.
Christina Aguilera
4/5
Much better than the other one of hers on this list. Much catchier.
Leonard Cohen
3/5
It's a guy singing. Nothing bad, nothing special.
John Lennon
4/5
4/5
Funk rock. I knew Cisco Kid. Fun listen.
Peter Tosh
5/5
A classic I've heard hundreds of times. Outstanding reggae.
The Modern Lovers
4/5
Never heard of them. Good stuff. New wave punk maybe? Not sure but it's not rock and not punk. It's both with a hint of new wave to mellow it out.
Coldplay
4/5
It's Coldplay. It's fine.
Cornershop
3/5
Jethro Tull
5/5
Neil Young
5/5
Elvis Presley
2/5

Duke Ellington

3/5
It's fine. Not great.
Alanis Morissette
4/5
Turbonegro
3/5
Van Halen
3/5
If you like Van Halen, you'll love this album. I think their self titled album is better. 1984 is little hokier and 80's...of course.
The Cure
4/5
I've never listened to an entire Cure album all the way through. This one is good. I'd definitely listen again.
Songhoy Blues
3/5
The B-52's

Derek & The Dominos

Beck

Tangerine Dream
2/5
Maybe music to fall asleep to? Boring.
Buena Vista Social Club

Background sort of music. If not for the backstory on this band, it wouldn't be on here.

Sounds a lot like Duran Duran.
Drive-By Truckers

Jack White

Joni Mitchell
2/5
I really don't like Joni Mitchell...and I love female vocalists.
Christine and the Queens
3/5
I have no idea why this would be on the list. It's fine but nothing unusual.
Beastie Boys
5/5
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
3/5
Odd. Unsure what it's trying to be.

Brian Eno

GZA
5/5
Outstanding album!
Massive Attack
4/5
Excellent. Never heard it before.
Taylor Swift
5/5
Outstanding. I had no idea Taylor Swift had albums like this.
The Magnetic Fields
5/5
Long, amazing, quirky. It took me 2 sessions to listen due to having to go to bed. I already had it in my favorites but hadn't listened to the entire thing. You're not going to put it on for a road trip but listening at home on a nice system, it really works.
Iron Maiden
3/5
Not an Iron Maiden fan but that doesn't make this album bad.
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
Incredible album. Smashing Pumpkins still sound innovative and fresh after all this time.
The Doors
5/5
I wish the recording was better but the content is perfect.
Mariah Carey
2/5
Awful.
Frank Sinatra

I like 60's and 70's folk but this one is unbearable. It sounds too much like Irish-scented folk. As someone with a strong dislike for Irish folk music, this album is a tough listen.
