The Shamen
5/5
8.5/10 - The first three songs I absolutely loved and there were a bunch more that I enjoyed too. I would completely understand if someone did not like any of the songs but it works for me. 666 edit also was fantastic.

Can
2/5
3/10 - It was not great to start and was significantly worse to end. Pappa's gotta eat is all I got to say.

Ice T
2/5
3/10 - It was just bad. Although him giving directions was pretty funny and he continued the tradition of rappers spending an entire song on shouting out random people. The rock song came out of no where but it was alright.

808 State
5/5
9/10 - Absolute banger of an album. I enjoyed almost every song on this. This is exactly the pre-edm electronic music that I love. Every song had something new and it changed as the songs went on which was so cool. I loved the way that the songs evolved. Overall a great album that I will listen to more.

Portishead
1/5
2/10 - I absolutely despised this album. It was just so off putting the entire time. I also listened to it while quite stressed so that definitely did not help. There were no songs that I enjoyed listening too and just wanted it to end.

Dusty Springfield
4/5
Bob Dylan
5/5
9/10 - great use of harmonica and great working music.
The Band
3/5
4/10 - Some interesting pieces but overall mid
Blondie
3/5
6/10 - Some good songs not ideal voice imo
Stevie Wonder
5/5
9/10 - Saturn is an absolute banger. I was feeling the music throughout the whole album and it was so jazzy.
Public Enemy
2/5
3/10 - I can see the appeal but not my vibe. Was not expecting the thriller laugh.
Joni Mitchell
3/5
5/10 - Ben Platt made a cover of River that I think is better but overall an ok album.
Thin Lizzy
3/5
5/10 - Overall okay. There are some good songs but the Boys are Back in Town is definitely their most popular song and i do not really like it. I just think his voice is kinda annoying.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
6/10 - Overall mid but Under the Bridge brings me back so it brought it up a few points
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
5/5
9/10 - Fire album. I was hyped from the start as Rich was an absolute banger. I would not be surprised if Nosebleeds was inspired by this. Pin would have been a top song for me if she did not sing "bum bum bum bum..." but no no no, maps and Y control are all great.
Sly & The Family Stone
2/5
4/10 - Stand! Somebody's watching you and My Brain were the only decent songs. The rest really did not hit for me. Plus the 13+ minute guitar solo was not my cup of tea.
Beastie Boys
2/5
3/10 - I can't stand his voice. I heard it when watching Wyatt's Callahan and my opinions on it after hearing this whole album has not changed. My favorite song by far is Futterman's Rule and Ricky's Theme wince the beat is good and he does not sing in it. Essentially the songs are good as long as the singer does not open their mouth.
Liz Phair
2/5
4/10 - Kinda bad overall. I liked some of the instrumentals but her voice did not really do it for me. Seems to be a consistent thing with some of these albums. I liked a few songs but Flower absolutely caught me off guard.
The Police
4/5
7/10 - Pretty good overall. Message in a bottle is a great song that I have heard plenty of times. I think that I am a little biased towards this album since my dad really likes the Police.
Sheryl Crow
3/5
5/10 - I didn't hate the vibe and I liked the first song a little bit. Overall it was somewhat boring and the Na-Na song was strange to read the lyrics.
Garbage
4/5
7/10 - Not bad. I liked a few songs but Milk was really boring. Queer and Only Happy When It Rains were pretty good
Soul II Soul
4/5
7/10 - I was grooving through most of the songs especially keep on moving and african dance
Stereolab
5/5
9/10 - I loved almost all of the songs. The worst one was sadly Emperor Tomato Ketchup. Cybele's Reverie was absolutely fantastic and gave toro y moi energy.
Various Artists
3/5
5/10 - These songs are overplayed and I would rather listen to like anything else but the songs are not bad. I like sleigh ride but other versions of it.
Peter Gabriel
4/5
7/10 - Overall pretty good. I have heard most of these songs before. There are no songs I hate but there are not any I think I would ever be like I have to listen to it.
George Harrison
4/5
8.5/10 - So many great songs but so many songs. There was only one or two I knew before going into it but a bunch of them were enjoyable. However, with as long as the album was they cannot all be bangers.
Buffalo Springfield
2/5
4/10 - It was pretty boring, not really a good set to listen to at the gym. Broken arrow was really interesting but not good.
The Mamas & The Papas
4/5
8/10 - The panning is crazy in the whole album. I loved the vibes of the whole album and would listen to it again.
Hookworms
5/5
9/10 - I quite liked this album. Everything but Boxing Day I thought was fresh and interesting. Some of the transitions were so smooth between songs. Its interesting to see how this is the newest album we have listened to so far and it is still kinda old timey but I can hear the more modern aspects.
The Modern Lovers
2/5
4/10 - In a word boring, in a few words not very exciting. The songs all kinda blended together and I do not want to hear any more about hippie johnny.
R.E.M.
4/5
7/10 - I liked some of the songs but they felt repetitive after a bit.
Ravi Shankar
3/5
6/10 - I liked how he explained the way that the pieces worked and how the were supposed to be felt and counted. Through the pieces you can easily see his talent however it is not my cup of tea.
Ella Fitzgerald
4/5
8/10 - Extremely good but in a 3 hour album obviously some of the songs will be better than others. We sang let's call the whole thing off in like 5th grade and it was interesting to see what it was supposed to sound like.
1/5
2/10 - The songs got better as it went on but I just could not handle most of the songs. Like them just screaming blood was not it for me.
Beastie Boys
2/5
3.1/10 - Basically the same as my last rating for Beastie boys. I do not like his voice but the backbeat is pretty good on a bunch of songs. The reason this one exceeded the other album is simply because of 5-piece Chicken Dinner and A Year and A Day went crazy.
Serge Gainsbourg
2/5
3/10 - When listening to cargo culte I thought that Skyrim had opened because the background sounded like the intro song. Valse was not bad but most of them were just weird and too sensual for my liking.
The The
3/5
5/10 - I cannot tell if I like it or not. I feel like every time I find something I like there is also something I do not like.
Paul Simon
5/5
9.5/10 - I am a little biased as I grew up listening to Paul Simon and a bunch of songs on this album. Almost every song hits and even some of the ones I had not heard before surpassed my expectations.
Keith Jarrett
4/5
7/10 - I quite enjoyed most of the pieces. However the intermittent clapping and cheering was weird and ruined the immersion. If I had more work to do I could 100% turn this on and grind it out.
Rahul Dev Burman
2/5
4/10 - It was alright in one two cha cha cha I thought the "that's the way I like it" was very out of nowhere and caught me off guard. I feel like I was missing a lot since its a soundtrack without a movie.
Iggy Pop
4/5
7.5/10 - I quite enjoyed most of the songs. None of them were bad but none of them were amazing.
Sufjan Stevens
5/5
8.5/10 - Extremely interesting with every piece sounding completely different. I read part of the wikipedia article about this one and it was interesting to see a bit of illinois history in music. One last whoo hoo was just a crazy piece also.
Charles Mingus
4/5
7/10 - Pretty good. I was grooving most of the time but parts of it did not hit for me.
Supertramp
3/5
6/10 - I liked school and crime of the century the rest were ok. The only supertramp song I knew before this was breakfast in america which I really did not like so this was a nice surprise.
Sister Sledge
5/5
9/10 - Absolute bangers on this album. I loved the first 4 songs and we are family was pretty good. I kept getting into the groove my whole walk home. Kind of like the yeah yeah yeahs album I could hear parts of some of the songs that could have been inspirations for roosevelt.
The Stranglers
2/5
4/10 - Not great and the songs were screamy in some places which I did not enjoy. Overall it was just slightly worse than ok. I liked the guitar solo at the end of down in the sewer but him saying he wants to like reproduce with sewer rats was crazy to me.
Astor Piazzolla
4/5
7/10 - Very interesting and engaging. I would listen this again.
Fun Lovin' Criminals
3/5
6/10 - Some of the songs I like and others I do not care for. The first few songs were fun to listen to and I loved the use of trumpet.
Billy Joel
5/5
9.5/10 - I have heard the first 7 songs before and they are all absolute bangers. The last two I had not heard before but I thought they were pretty good. It was debating rating it a 10 but I want to save that for one where I love every song.
Tina Turner
2/5
3/10 - The whole time I just wanted to Tina Turn her off. But its not as bad as some other things. But at least they were kinda interesting.
Peter Gabriel
3/5
5/10 - A lot of weird songs but a few that I enjoyed. I thought they flowed together nicely.
Aerosmith
3/5
6/10 - There are some good songs and some I do not really care for
Everything But The Girl
4/5
7/10 - Interesting but not fantastic. I liked the vibe of the songs but they were not fitting my mood.
Scott Walker
4/5
7/10 - Pretty enjoyable but the songs kind of flowed together.
Fugazi
2/5
3/10 - Too aggressive and not very enjoyable to listen to because of that.
Led Zeppelin
2/5
4.5/10 - The avengers theme is in here that's crazy. Some of the songs are too long. One of them sounded like there was sex noises in the background and a few were too long.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
4/10 - The lyrics were pretty weird. I was not a huge fan of his voice or style in general.
Pavement
2/5
3/10 - I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying to enjoy this album. How can I, how can I, how can I possibly do it. It is quite screamy and the vocals are hard to hear sometimes, yet I am ok with that.
Sarah Vaughan
4/5
7/10 - Very enjoyable. I liked the scatting and the old timey feeling of the songs. I liked her voice a lot which is a nice change of pace from the recent albums
The Beach Boys
3/5
6/10 - I liked the feel of the songs but they all kind of felt like the same song. Individually none were fantastic or horrible. Overall slightly better than okay.
Lou Reed
3/5
5/10 - Some of the songs were ok and some were interesting in a bad way, like New York Telephone Conversation. I liked Satellite of Love and I'm So Free. I liked the use of brass in some of the pieces but overall it was fine.
Tortoise
4/5
7.5/10 - Very interesting pieces. The production style was off the charts and the melodies were so much fun to listen to. The first song was way too long but individually the parts were very nice to listen to.
Common
4/5
7/10 - I loved Be (Intro) and quite liked GO! and Faithful. However as the pieces went on I liked them less. I am not the biggest fan of rap but some of these pieces worked really well for me. John Legend was interesting and I was caught of guard because I did not know he made music in 2005 (or was popular)
Dexys Midnight Runners
5/5
8.5/10 - Why was he counting during the waltz piece. I know counting to 3 is tough but it is not necessary during a final recording. Also sadly not all of the pieces are on spotify since I really enjoyed Until I Believe In My Soul and Marguerita Time. Overall great album
Nitin Sawhney
2/5
3/10 - I liked Tides but the rest were not enjoyable in my opinion.
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
3/5
6/10 - I have a soft spot for old-timey music but none of the songs specifically stood out to me. They also all kind of melded together. The vibe was good.
The Black Keys
4/5
7/10 - Quite enjoyable. I liked most of the songs but Tighten Up and The Only One stood out to me for some reason. They all sounded somewhat similar but it was a good vibe.
Marvin Gaye
3/5
6/10 - The opening of the first song I had heard plenty of times but I did not know what song it was. Other than that it was groovy sometimes and it was fine at other times.
Björk
2/5
4/10 - It was absolutely insane but in kind of a bad way. Some of the songs but most were crazy and I could not vibe with. Where is the line and Who Is It both grew on me as they played.
David Bowie
3/5
6/10 - I know David Bowie is supposed to be like fantastic and revolutionary but it was just kind of ok. Better than average but not like fantastic. Changes and Life on Mars? I had heard before and Kooks was pretty good.
Finley Quaye
2/5
3/10 - It was kind of a slog to listen to the whole album. I listened to the first half and did not enjoy it took a break and listened to the second half and still did not really enjoy it.
LCD Soundsystem
4/5
7/10 - Very interesting pieces. I enjoyed the constant background in the songs that I liked. Not all of them were great and the ones I liked still felt too long sometimes.
Arcade Fire
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty good. Nothing stood out a great deal but nothing was terrible. I liked a few songs.
Can
2/5
3/10 - It was not great to start and was significantly worse to end. Pappa's gotta eat is all I got to say.
SAULT
2/5
4/10 - It was not great but it was not horrible. It was very preachy and was speaking on an important topic but if I am going to be listening to music, this is not what I would listen to.
The Who
3/5
5/10 - It was definitely an album. It was so mid but it seems like there were some songs that were medleys or crossovers of different songs so it being live was important. I bet if I knew more The Who songs I would love the medleys.
ZZ Top
3/5
5/10 - It was fine. Nothing necessarily stood out to me, I have heard La Grange and its fine.
Weather Report
4/5
7/10 - Pretty jazzy. I liked a few random songs in it. Rumba Mama caught me off guard but the rest were fun to listen to.
Stan Getz
4/5
7/10 - I enjoyed most of the pieces but I cannot listen to the girl from ipanema the same after hearing Hector sing it.
Songhoy Blues
4/5
7/10 - I liked the background quite a bit. Every song was enjoyable but nothing was crazy good.
George Jones
4/5
8/10 - I do not know why this album went so hard for me but each song hit. His voice was just perfect for how I am feeling right now.
A Tribe Called Quest
2/5
4/10 - This is not my type of music at all but "Roar roar like a dungeon dragon" is a hard lyric.
Elton John
4/5
8/10 - All of the popular songs are fantastic. The rest are fine but I liked harmony of the songs I did not know.
Janis Joplin
3/5
6/10 - While her voice is a little gravely for my liking it is fantastic. I can very easily see how this made the list. Mercedez Benz was a funny song to listen to since she was just asking for different things from god.
Cocteau Twins
5/5
9.5/10 - Loved this album. The chill vibe was fantastic. This felt similar to Emperor Tomato Ketchup where I can see how this turned into the music I listen to in my free time. Frou-frou Foxes in Midsummer is just absolutely amazing. I loved it from the first song all the way through.
Elis Regina
4/5
7/10 - It was quite enjoyable. It completely caught me off guard by how vibey it was. I do not know how much I will revisit this but it was a fun listen.
Beatles
4/5
8/10 - Octopus's Garden is great. I want you was also quite good even though it was quite long but the transition to Here Comes the Sun is so abrupt. The random Italian was surprising. As the album completes the songs flow together so well. Overall pretty good album, but I do not believe it deserves to be the top album of all time on this platform.
The Triffids
3/5
5/10 - It was alright. No songs really stood out. Nothing was bad it was just fine.
The Stone Roses
4/5
8/10 - Solid music. A bunch of the songs I really liked. Overall pretty good album.
Kraftwerk
4/5
7/10 - It was kind of all over the place but was super interesting throughout most of the pieces.
Arcade Fire
3/5
6/10 - I liked one song the rest were fine. Nothing bad but nothing great
Pink Floyd
2/5
3/10 - Pow. R. Toc. H. was weird. Interstellar Overdrive was long and bad. The beginning of bike sounded normal and the lyrics were strange "I know mouse and he hasn't got a house I don't know why I call him Gerald." And then the song ends with geese calling.
Dennis Wilson
3/5
5/10 - It was fine, not great but not horrible
The Kinks
4/5
7/10 - Quite enjoyable. Most of the songs were fun to listen to. Nothing absolutely stood out but it was a fun listen.
Beyoncé
2/5
4/10 - Rocket is so sexual, and it is not the vibe for doing homework. Most of the songs were not things I was that into. XO was pretty good though.
Air
4/5
8/10 - Extremely interesting. Each piece was unique and was super cool to listen to. Ce matin-la was my favorite but each one was special.
Mariah Carey
2/5
4/10 - It was not bad. Her voice is pretty good but I did not love it and some of the songs kind of dragged on.
Rush
2/5
4/10 - None of the songs were great but none were bad. Some were too long. Nothing surprised me.
The Libertines
3/5
6/10 - Overall pretty decent. Not fantastic but some good songs. I like what Katie Did and can see why its the most popular other than the first song.
k.d. lang
4/5
8/10 - Pretty enjoyable country music. Waltz me and down to my last cigarette stood out to me.
The Isley Brothers
4/5
7/10 - I feel like a lot of these songs have been sampled or covered and made more popular because of the sample or cover. Overall sounded great.
The Byrds
4/5
8/10 - Quite enjoyable. It sounded very pleasant and while they were similar they worked well for me. Mr. Tambourine Man went hard.
Echo And The Bunnymen
2/5
4/10 - Not very interesting and his voice is quite whiny and annoying.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
3/10 - There was one or two ok songs, but most of them were too long and Farmer John and Mansion on the Hill were just bad. love and only love was not bad but it did not need to be 10 minutes.
Beach House
4/5
8/10 - I think calling a zebra a black and white horse pretty funny. The songs sound similar but I like the vibe quite a bit and there was enough difference to find songs that I liked. Take Care was fantastic
The Flaming Lips
4/5
8/10 - Great music with a wide array of styles. In the morning of magicians and fight test go extremely hard and Yoshimi battles the pink robots part 1 is great.
Justin Timberlake
2/5
3.5/10 - Why did Justin say he wants to be my mother. Stop trying to sleep with me please. Not that bad musically but I did not enjoy the lyrics most of the time.
Elliott Smith
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty good. The chill vibe was nice but nothing major stood out to me.
The White Stripes
3/5
5/10 - His voice sounded kind of whiny. I did not hate any pieces and I only sort of liked As Ugly as I seem. Although the Nurse was interesting since it sounded like a marimba mixed with random rock accents.
The Yardbirds
3/5
6/10 - there were some of the songs that I thought were weird but some of them were also pretty good. Like Hot House of Omagarashid went crazy and was still weird.
Buck Owens
2/5
4/10 - Some of the songs sound literally the exact same. The lyrics on some of the songs are also just weird. Especially Wham Bam.
Eminem
1/5
2/10 - This album was kind of trash. There were no enjoyable songs and every song had kind of gruesome lyrics. I was not a huge fan of Eminem telling his daughter about how he killed her mom.
Big Star
4/5
7/10 - I enjoyed most of the album there was a nice mix of instruments including strings which were nice. While not all of them were bops the slower and sad songs had dissonance which was quite fitting to the theme.
Goldie
3/5
6/10 - I enjoyed most of the songs but they were all too long. The first song has great parts but its 21 minutes long so I would never really listen to it in my free time. It was great to listen to while chasing my target in assassin. Inner City Life- baby Boy's edit was great.
Metallica
2/5
3/10 - Songs all meshed together since they were similar. They were also all quite long. I do not like the screamish vocals. The Frayed Ends of Sanity has the O-RE-O part from Wreck it Ralph in it.
The Kinks
3/5
5/10 - Not as good as the other kinks album but still pretty good.
Simple Minds
3/5
6/10 - It sounded kind of like tears for fears in my opinion. Seems like it has similarities to early electronic music. But overall, not amazing.
The Streets
1/5
2/10 - I like the call back to the first song in the second song. But most of these songs are absolutely terrible. Get out of my house is outrageously horrible. Dry your eyes was not that bad. Why was his TV broken in every single song, like he mentioned his tele in I think every song. I am so glad he found his thousand quid at the end of it all. How the heck did it get into his TV though? I have yet to decide what I think deserves a 1/10 but I think there will be an album that will earn that score.
CHIC
3/5
6/10 - Chic Cheer was pretty boring as it was just them saying Chic over and over again. The first half sounded pretty new but the second half could have been a sister sledge song and I would not have been surprised. I liked the guitar and sax solos though. Also I should not have given sister sledge 5 stars
Dire Straits
3/5
6/10 - Pretty chill and quite enjoyable. I liked most of the songs including walk of life and why worry?. I had heard most of the first half of the album and some of the lyrics in Money For Nothing are less than ideal. The songs are also kind of long.
R.E.M.
4/5
7/10 - Everybody hurts is such a meme song but there were some absolute bangers in this album Ignoreland was the only one I had not heard that I liked quite a lot. But The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite is good and so is Man on the Moon and Nightswimming
The Clash
4/5
7/10 - I started as not the biggest fan of this album but it grew on me as it went on. On some of the songs his voice is annoying but the guitar and other songs it is fantastic.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
3/5
5/10 - There were some nice songs. I liked the old-timey feel but also they were not the most interesting all the way through. Helpless was good though.
MGMT
4/5
7/10 - I wanted to like this album so much more. I wanted to given it a 5 but there were just not enough great songs. The famous songs are fantastic but the rest are ok to good. I also think I would have rated it higher if I didn't listen to Little Dark Age directly after which I would probably rate a 10/10
Joy Division
2/5
4/10 - The songs were kinda slow his voice was pretty annoying. I had to listen to this album twice since the first time I was 100% locked into fifa and I wish I did not listen to it again.
Jethro Tull
4/5
7/10 - Pretty enjoyable all the way through. Wind up was my favorite song but most of the songs were quite nice to listen to.
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
7/10 - Great album to listen to. There were a bunch of songs that I had heard before and quite liked. I know I'm not wrong and walk a thin line were new songs that I quite liked. Tusk is a fantastic song but there was a version that I had heard so many times of it that the one on the album just does not work for me. I looked it up and found the version that I liked. It was a random live version that I liked more because the voice is slightly more prominent.
Tim Buckley
2/5
4/10 - Not the best in my opinion. Some of the songs were fine but most were just slightly bad.
Thelonious Monk
3/5
6/10 - Pretty good but I need to be in the right mood to listen to jazz. That mood was not when i was listening to it. Insaneintherain made a jazz cover of pokemon songs that I absolutely love because he took the songs that I liked and made them even more jazzy which was great. Sometimes jazz on its own does not do it for me.
Pink Floyd
3/5
6/10 - There was some good songs. Some bad songs. But it was too long and with an album that long it will likely end up just mid.
Björk
3/5
6/10 - There were some songs that were decent but two that I really liked. Unison and Not Up to You. Overall her voice is not the most good sounding to me which is why its close to the middle but those two songs bring it up a bit.
Eels
4/5
7/10 - There were some good songs. Some of it was too edgy for me but others were good. Susan's house was weird
Peter Gabriel
3/5
5/10 - I feel like my emotions on the peter gabriel albums (other than so) are all the same. They are just ok. Like there are some songs that are better than others but they are just all mid.
2/5
4/10 - Wham bam, thank you ma'am has returned. It was so screamy part of the time and that was quite unenjoyable. It was overall alright but not good. In starship the counting was kinda sick ngl
Talking Heads
3/5
5/10 - I feel like talking heads are experimental in a way that I am not a huge fan of. Some of their songs I enjoy quite a bit but most of these were not my favorite. I Zimbra was great and Heaven was pretty good but the rest were not for me.
Tracy Chapman
4/5
7/10 - Good and relaxing music. Fast Car is probably the best song by far but the other songs arent bad
The Byrds
3/5
5/10 - It was just alright country. Some of the songs sounded good but they meshed together. It was kind of crazy how different this album was compared to the other The Byrds album
Dagmar Krause
2/5
4/10 - There were some bangers ngl. \"A shotgun will shoot a dagger will knife\" is quite a bar. I liked the little jazz bits in some of the pieces. It sounded like a musical or like the soundtrack to a movie.
The Cars
4/5
8/10 - There were some bangers, my best friend's girl and just what I needed are classics and some of the other songs were decent as well.
Sex Pistols
2/5
4/10 - Birmingham mentioned +1 Lots of screaming -2. Overall not my ideal type of music. It was not terrible but not too good in my opinion. I know why God Save the Queen and Anarchy In the UK are the most popular they were the best songs.
Germs
2/5
3/10 - I do not think I understood a single word he has said in this album. Lexicon Devil went kinda hard. In the background of Shut Down someone just randomly smacked a piano a few times. Overall pretty bad.
Lupe Fiasco
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty good to start but as the album went on it went downhill. The last song was just terrible. He just kept saying peoples names over and over and over and over again for 12 minutes. What was the point of that. I am surprised I liked some of these songs since I am not usually a fan of any type of rap but some of the songs worked out. Shoutout to Myspace
Beck
3/5
6/10 - Most of the songs flowed together and it made them sound the same. It was quite mellow which was decent from studying however, it was not the most enjoyable. A few songs stood out as better but overall it was mid.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
3/10 - This is some of the weirdest things I have ever listened to. It is extremely chill Christian Rock that does not really go anywhere. So many of the songs dragged on and on and on it felt. There was no build up to anything. And a 12 minute and a 14 minute song for nothing is awful. All in all it was not enjoyable to listen to but in a completely different way when compared to most of the albums I have not liked so far.
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
7/10 - His raspy voice is super interesting. I have heard a bunch of the songs before and they are pretty good. Jungleland was pretty long but the rest were different lengths and they were not extremely similar so songs sounded different. Overall pretty good
Iron Maiden
3/5
6/10 - There was some songs that I liked a little bit. It was all too much though some of the time. I can see why run to the hills and hallowed be thy name two of the more popular songs since they were my favorites from the album as well. I do not think I will really listen to them in my free time however.
Count Basie & His Orchestra
4/5
7/10 - Pretty Jazzy. Earlier pieces were better imo, and flight of the foo birds was great. Some of the songs when less things are happening it is less interesting.
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
2/5
3.5/10 - Visions of you was okay but not good enough for me to like it. Relight the flame was pretty bad however. After Bomba was ok it was a few more bad songs. The last song was better than the rest but still not great. Nothing wowed me.
The Notorious B.I.G.
1/5
2/10 - What the heck is this intro. One of the strangest things I have listened to. Starting with the birth of a child, then a fight between two parents and then a shooting, then idk. One More Chance is a weird song. I have surprisingly heard part of Juicy before. Most of these songs were just so uncomfortable to listen to. There were way too many sex noises and so many of the songs were just about sex and cheating/being cheated on. I usually do not like rap music but this is significantly worse than the rap music I usually dislike
Iron Maiden
3/5
6/10 - lifting while listening to this album was a great idea. The more upbeat songs worked really well for the grind. I think the faster the song is the more I like it when it comes to Iron Maiden. Like the slow songs are kinda mid to bad. Phantom of the opera is the best song
Dolly Parton
3/5
5/10 - It was alright. One of the songs background pieces sounded exactly like pass me by if you are only passing through. It was cool to have like every combination of the three people. My favorite song was wildflowers but other than that and farther along the songs were not great.
Megadeth
2/5
3/10 - It was similar to the Iron Maiden albums but just significantly worse. His voice was annoying especially in five magics when the second voice joins in. Do not plan on ever listening to this again
Jean-Michel Jarre
4/5
8/10 - This album is so good. I was designing a dnd puzzle while listening to it and it was just so perfect to figure out how I wanted it to work. parts 2, 4, and 6 were the best but it was all good.
Adele
3/5
6.5/10 - The songs that are popular are popular for a reason. They are good her voice is great and they tell a decent story. The songs that are not popular are not popular for a reason, they are just fine. Overall a decent album but not something I will probably listen to on a daily basis. If they came on on the radio I would sing along but I am not turning it on.
David Bowie
4/5
7/10 - Better than the other Bowie album. There were a few songs I enjoyed quite a bit. There was a major mood and style shift that caught me off guard but Moss garden was quite good. However, i was even more surprised on the switch back for secret life of arabia
Nick Drake
4/5
8/10 - I started off against it but as the album went on it grew quite a bit. I was cleaning during this album so it was surprising to me how much I enjoyed it. one of these things first was probably the best song
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
7/10 - We have had a decent streak recently. There was quite a few good songs and one that I had heard before. I can’t believe Franz Ferdinand released music 90 years after his death. That’s kinda crazy
Nas
2/5
3.5/10 - Better than most of the rap albums we have gotten so far in my opinion. But I feel like there is a good chance that the people actually in the rap community will have an opposing opinion. Life's a B kind of sounds like a Beastie Boys song if the voice was different. Also I see Lupe Fiasco took a hint from Nas and brought it to a whole new level. Instead of half a song being names of his boys Lupe made an entire 10 minute song about it.
Janelle Monáe
4/5
8.5/10 - This album covered so many genres of music from classicalish through dnb. They also did most of these genres quite well. I loved a bunch of the pieces but with an album of this length some are going to miss like mushrooms and roses. Tightrope is the most popular song from the album and it was alright but the second most popular song Cold War was fantastic.
Nico
2/5
3.75- Her voice is so annoying. What the heck is going on in the background of it was a pleasure then. Its just like random scraping and high pitched, out of tune notes. Her voice is not the main idea in most of the pieces which is good since I do not like her voice but, the other parts of the music is also bad so it does not really solve the problem. The middle part of Chelsea Girls was pretty relaxing (when she is not singing). The flute works well. I want to say that the album got better as it went on but Wrap your troubles in dreams fell back into the same pitfalls as the first half. Overall not great.
Sam Cooke
4/5
7/10 - The random "I ain't got leukemia was crazy" in somebody have mercy. Every song was so groovy. He sounds so into the music which is just amazing to hear. Some of the songs it was annoying to hear him talk to the crowd or the crowd talking back since it takes away from the music.
Pere Ubu
1/5
2/10 - The first song is absolutely terrible. The second song is better but still pretty bad. The singing is terrible but the rest is pretty good. "whaaat do you dooo with a drunken sailor" bro this album is awful. I would keep making fun of the songs or saying they are bad but it would just get old quickly. It is kind of crazy to me how many times I have written that my favorite parts of this album is when they do not sing. Except for Blow Daddy-O there is no singing but its still awful.
Kid Rock
2/5
3/10 - I am officially signing the petition for Lucas to go back to rating out of 10. The intro of the first song is so funny to me. The ragtime bit of Cowboy came out of nowhere. This album is probably better than Dub housing yet I want to listen to it less because at least that one was kind of interesting and funny to listen to because of how bad it was. What is with rap being so vulgar about having sex, maybe some people like kid Rock explaining how he aggressively has sex. But I am not that guy. Only God knows why was decent. I am confused as to why where u at rock does not have the part of the album where his mom is calling him asking where he is. Black Chick, White Guy had a story which made it a little better.
Tears For Fears
4/5
8/10 - Tears For Fears has a very interesting style of making music that I quite enjoy. Obviously Everybody wants to rule the world is well known for being a great song but the other songs on the album were pretty good and enjoyed Listen quite a bit as well.
Orbital
4/5
7/10 - if this album was every other song it might be a 9 or a 10. But if it was only the songs that were excluded in that every other it would be like a 3 or a 4. The last 2 songs however are pretty decent. I can hear so much inspiration was pulled from albums like this. Even in the songs I don’t like it likely inspired other songs I don’t like. The second song reminds me a bit of a few topi songs that I don’t enjoy greatly.
The Everly Brothers
3/5
6/10 - It was fine. I liked how short it was tbh. The songs kind of sounded all the same. This was beneficial since they were all nice to listen to but nothing revolutionary or fantastic.
Joanna Newsom
2/5
4/10 - She sounds like Bjork but with a better voice. The songs are just weird and the only thing I can relate it to is Bjork. One of the songs ended decently but the weird voice and random instruments at times feel like Bjork. Also one of the youtube comments said she opened for Bjork which is kinda funny to me. The end of the last song was also quite strange and did not end in a way that sounded like an ending. I think I rated vespertine by Bjork too high.
DJ Shadow
3/5
5/10 - Some of the samples are pretty cool and they do a good job of bringing them into the music. Some of the songs however are quite strange. Building Steam with a grain of salt and changeling I enjoyed parts of and some of what does your soul look like was good too however, it was all just kind of strange.
Jungle Brothers
2/5
4/10 - I am confused by the naming formats of the songs. Why are the Us and 2s and 4s in quotes. I understand that its not the normal spelling but I think people will get what they mean. When listening to the first six songs I was like I am not going to like anything on this album probably but Good Newz Comin' (good news is what?) was pretty good. Also having ain't no mountain high enough as a sample caught me off guard. I found it interesting how most pieces had a special drum that was unique to that song. Like the more classical bongoish drums, jingle bells and random other stuff.
808 State
5/5
9/10 - Absolute banger of an album. I enjoyed almost every song on this. This is exactly the pre-edm electronic music that I love. Every song had something new and it changed as the songs went on which was so cool. I loved the way that the songs evolved. Overall a great album that I will listen to more.
The Smashing Pumpkins
2/5
4/10 - The second song seemed decent enough so I was expecting an ok album. But its been pretty bad after that. The songs are so screamy and not enjoyable imo. Nearing the end of the first disc it chilled out a bit. Straight into disk 2 its equally as bad. For instance tales of a scorched earth is absolutely awful. I went back and relistened to the most popular songs and they were better but still not fantastic.
LL Cool J
2/5
4/10 - It was fine. There was nothing good about it but it was not too terrible. The song about cereal (white women I think) was kind of weird but the rest were fine. I have found a clear correlation between rap songs and talking about cheating/being cheated on and I do not really get it. Maybe I will find a rap album that I actually enjoy at some point in this journey but probably not. We will see in a few years.
UB40
3/5
5/10 - If I was listening to this on the beach with a glass of wine or like a mai tai or something, this would be an 7 or 8/10 because that is the vibe. Since I was listening to this album at the gym, its more like a 3 or a 4. Overall boring and pretty repetitive. The drums are the exact same in every song I feel. If Red, Red, Wine was on this album it would've gone up a point. To average the numbers it gets a 5
David Bowie
4/5
7/10 - I was going to say the best Bowie album so far in the first half but the second kind of let me down. Young Americans and Fascination were both great, but fame was not my favorite. I think Bowie albums are going to be about the same level of goodness for all of them.
Radiohead
4/5
8/10 - This album is quite good. My friend is a huge fan of radiohead and I get it now. Each song is different and super enjoyable. Some of them are really vibey while others are more energetic. I feel like grunge music like this can be quite hit or miss for me but most of these songs hit.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5
6/10 - I feel like most of the songs are decent. A lot of the guitar riffs sound very derivative like I have heard them before. I am not sure if these are based on other people's music or they are based on this tho. Bad Moon Rising is a good song and I enjoyed Lodi. Other than those it was fine with most songs blending together.
Butthole Surfers
1/5
2.5/10 - The first word of the album is daddy. A bad start to say the least. Weber and Hay begin almost the exact same and are both very much not worht listening. Human Cannonball was decent but USSA and the O-men are literal trash. Kuntz was interesting but had some redeeming parts. 22 going on 23 was a difficult topic but I do not get why they decided to end the song with cow noises. Overall such a strange album that is pretty bad
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
6/10 - It was fine. It was just like another rock album. I liked the losing end it felt newish but the rest were just rock songs. Nothing special.
Tom Waits
2/5
3/10 - We have had some very strange albums this week including this one. Starting with underground I knew that I was in for a surprise. Dave the Butcher sounded more like what I expected the Locust Abortion Technician album to sound like because of its cover art. Most of the songs were just offputting Just another sucker on the vine was ok and so was rainbirds but I do no think I will be revisiting this album.
The Shamen
5/5
8.5/10 - The first three songs I absolutely loved and there were a bunch more that I enjoyed too. I would completely understand if someone did not like any of the songs but it works for me. 666 edit also was fantastic.
The Afghan Whigs
2/5
4/10 - I was not a huge fan of the singing most of the time. It was kind of unsettling. The last song wasn’t so bad and neither was the third song. But overall not great
Beatles
4/5
7/10 - fairly entertaining. Yellow submarine is pretty good but so was get into my life. I also remember playing Eleanor rugby in orchestra and the song is quite a banger
Goldfrapp
2/5
3/10 - pretty trash album. A bunch of the songs were pretty weird including oompa radar which just sounded like a circus. I sort of liked utopia
Basement Jaxx
3/5
6/10 - You can't stop me has like toad from mario in the background. Rendez-Vu and Red alert I absolutely loved but the rest were kind of strange. One of the songs he mentioned jaxxing off in the basement since forever or something and it sounded a bit off to me. I think the two songs that I liked brought it up to a 6 from a 4. Overall ok but I will be listening to the two I liked again.
Eminem
1/5
2/10 - At first I was like this just sounds equally as bad as the first album but then I heard the real slim shady which is not a bad song. The rest are decently bad but for the first time I had to turn off a song because I needed a break. When listening to Kim I needed to pause it and listen to anything else because it was too vulgar and I did not like the imagery. I really hope there are no more eminem albums if he stays this horrible. I do not even mind if the music is bad i just do not want to him talk about brutally murdering people.
Throwing Muses
3/5
6/10 - This album was too hard to find. It was pretty decent some of the time and strange some of the time. I feel like either most artists front-stack albums or my opinion on the style of music changes as the album is going on but usually the front half of an album is more enjoyable than the back half, and the same is true here.
Scritti Politti
3/5
6/10 - It was alright. It felt very 80s which makes sense since it was released in 85. I liked the end of absolute a lot, but the rest of it was decent but not amazing.
Bert Jansch
2/5
4/10 - I was pretty bored the whole time. It was not very interesting and made my work feel much longer than I wanted it to
The Police
3/5
6/10 - Mother was such a strange and weird song that I do not want to listen to again. Also the drum kind of feels like a heartbeat which was sick but the song was bad. The rest of the album was pretty decent and Every Breath you Take, king of pain and wrapped around your finger were all very good. It would be a 7 without Mother
Pixies
2/5
4/10 - I thought this would be more like a bossanova than a rock album I guess. Rock Music was bad and Is She Weird was, well, pretty weird. Overall pretty strange album, but not great
Miles Davis
3/5
6/10 - Decent Jazz but I was kind of locked out and did not pay too much attention.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
7/10 - It was quite a good album. I really like Paul Simon so I had a feeling I would enjoy it but the songs were just nice to listen to and pretty relaxing.
Nirvana
3/5
5/10 - I’m not the biggest fan of nirvana and this album as a whole was just kind of the same nirvana that I have heard before. Although I thought I’m on a plain was so funny for some reason.
The Dictators
3/5
5/10 - It was pretty okay. It sounded pretty similar. I thought the song cars and girls was pretty funny though. The rest were just fine.
Talk Talk
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty interesting although not fantastic. Some of the songs hit and a bunch did not. It was similar to some other artists but I could not quite put my finger on it.
Stevie Wonder
4/5
7/10 - It was pretty good, not as good as the other Stevie Wonder album. There was some nice pieces but no stand out ones.
Aretha Franklin
3/5
5/10 - Respect is a classic song but the rest did not stun me. I was not the most locked in during this album, I was trying to problem solve while playing pokerogue and it was not going well.
The Good, The Bad & The Queen
3/5
6/10 - A bunch of the intros are super cool, but they get worse when it gets to the middle of the songs. The whole album was alright. I think they each had good potential with their intros but the song itself never lived up to the hype I was feeling.
Parliament
2/5
4/10 - Its pretty groovy but I am just not vibing with it really. Its quite repetitive within songs but not in the way I enjoy. Although each song is very different which is nice to hear. The naming convention is funny to me. The last song was my favorite.
Michael Kiwanuka
5/5
9/10 - It actually was so good. I was underwhelmed at first and then as it went on it felt so much better. I think went back and relistened to the first few tracks and they were fantastic. It was a great listen for a chill vibe.
The Electric Prunes
3/5
6/10 - It was alright to start but sold to the highest bidder caught me off guard. It kind of went hard tho. The king is in the counting house was so old sounding but also did not really have any melody. It was sort of talk-singing. There is a great amount of variety on this album. Although Luvin just sounds like a beatles album. All over the place and because of that there were a lot of up and downs.
OutKast
2/5
3/10 - The songs are quite strange to be honest. The lyrics are kind of crazy. I think I call b4 I cum is a clear example of this idea. Toilet tisha was not a banger. It was not great overall, but there were some times that I sort of enjoyed. Do not think I will revisit this one
Aretha Franklin
4/5
8/10 - I do not know if I was just in a bad mood or if these songs were better than the other Aretha Franklin album but I enjoyed these songs so much more. I felt like the music as a whole was simply better.
The Pogues
5/5
8.5/10 - I don’t know why but the pirate/Wild West music just works for me. I don’t really enjoy his voice but everything else is just so amazing. I can fully see myself singing to these songs on a road trip or while camping or even studying. This doesn’t deserve 5 stars probably but for me it’s just too good. Waltzing Matilda brought it down a little bit but it wasnt bad enough to remove the 5 star status
John Cale
3/5
6/10 - It was alright. It was sort of nice to listen to but nothing stood out to me as great or as terrible. I would not play the album again since there are just songs I like more.
Public Enemy
2/5
3/10 - I did not enjoy don't believe the hype, the background moaning like thing was just so bad (huheheah). The intro to terminator X and Mind terrorist were both kinda cool but the rest of the songs I did not enjoy. The screaming sample in caught can we get a witness was not very enjoyable. Night of the living baseheads had a part that I enjoyed. I can't tell if party for your right to fight inspired fight for your right to party by beastie boys but i feel like it did. Overall an album I did not enjoy listening to
XTC
3/5
6/10 - These songs are super hit or miss to me, and there are more misses than hits. 1000 umbrellas was interesting to say the least. A few of the later songs were fun to listen to but nothing was amazing.
Slint
1/5
2/10 - this album just made me so uncomfortable the whole time. Parts of it were boring but most of it was just so strange and off putting. It is also uncomfortable in a different way than the Eminem albums were. I never plan on listening to any of these songs ever again
Beck
2/5
4/10 - The songs were all kind of weird. I did not enjoy most of the songs. The only one that was kind of enjoyable was girl. Worse than the other Beck album.
Metallica
2/5
4/10 - I feel like if this album was half as long it would have been a 6 but its just so long. I had to break it apart into different sessions otherwise it would have been to much of the same thing. Overall it has some decent moments but it was not very enjoyable due to its length. The orchestra was kind of cool tho. It was the worst version of enter sandman I have ever heard.
Ms. Dynamite
2/5
4/10 - it was an alright album. I am not a huge fan or the soul/r&b stuff but there were some ok songs.
Yes
3/5
6/10 - Opening with a meme song is great but it was really interesting going from a short song to a long song and back and forth for a bit like that. There were some other songs that I enjoyed however the last two were so long and I did not fully vibe with.
Jefferson Airplane
2/5
4/10 - I was kind of just bored the whole time. It really sounded like the 60s not in a negative or positive way but in a way that made it a product of its time. Not something I will revisit because it was too boring.
Laibach
2/5
3/10 - as this album went on my rating just went lower and lower. It started at like a 6 then I got sick of the German so it dropped to like a 5 and then the second half of the album was just so bad then it went to a 3
The Byrds
3/5
5/10 - It was alright, I did not love it but did not greatly dislike it. My back pages was a great song which explains why it has the most plays by 17 million.
The Fall
2/5
4/10 - What was happening in the background of Barmy. It really just sounds like someone who does not know how to play an instrument was just going ham. The first half is quite weird and the second half sounds like a british punk rock band. I liked Rollin Dany but thats about it
The Doors
3/5
6/10 - There was some decent songs but nothing stood out to me. Break on through was pretty good and so was twentieth century fox and light my fire. The beginning of the end i have heard before but the rest of the song was pretty bad.
Marvin Gaye
3/5
5/10 - His voice is so sultry but its not the most appealing to me specifically. He also adds a lot of vocalizations to the songs, like grunting which is rarely something I enjoy. I feel like what he is saying is so sensual sometimes and I do not enjoy it. Also I feel like we did not need two reprises to when did you stop loving me, when did I stop loving you
Joni Mitchell
2/5
4/10 - It was equally as mid as the other album but there was not a song I already knew. Plus I did not enjoy her switching between the singing and talking in one of the songs.
Nick Drake
4/5
8/10 - I do not know what it is about Nick Drake where the more I listen to it the significantly more I like his music. Like as the album goes on every song becomes great. I really compared this to the Joni Mitchell album since I feel like they are trying to fit the same niche and I think Nick Drake just does better on all accounts. His voice is nicer to listen to and his instrumentals are significantly better. Thoughts of Mary Jane and Man In A Shed both show his amazing instrumentals.
Sabu
3/5
6/10 - Parts of this remind me of Peking O. The first two songs were not very interesting. But the third song was pretty good. Overall the songs that were good were pretty good and the songs that were bad were pretty bad.
Jack White
2/5
4/10 - I did not enjoy most of these songs tbh. His voice was pretty annoying and I did not like most of the instrumentals.
3/5
6/10 - I thought this artist and the one two albums ago was the same but, its Suba instead of Sabu. Na Neblina and Segredo were pretty good. I listened to the last few songs while doing the workout and it was not the vibe. It was a nice mix of emotions and pretty interesting
Van Morrison
5/5
9/10 - This was a fantastic album. I loved almost every song on it. And the cover art is actually so funny to me. I kind of wish the songs flowed together nicer and didnt all end in a fade out.
Beatles
3/5
6/10 - It was not fantastic. It has some good songs that are extremely popular but the new ones were not that good.
Talking Heads
3/5
6/10 - It was quite literally all over the place. They really took a lot of creative liberties. Some of them worked and some of them did not. Same as it ever was
Pink Floyd
2/5
3/10 - It was alright but I mean its just not the kind of music I enjoy. It felt like nothing was happening. Will not be revisiting.
Ice T
2/5
3/10 - It was just bad. Although him giving directions was pretty funny and he continued the tradition of rappers spending an entire song on shouting out random people. The rock song came out of no where but it was alright.
PJ Harvey
3/5
5/10 - It was kind of boring. She kind of sounded like bjork imo. Also the fanfare in the middle of one of the pieces was very out of place in my opinion.
Neu!
2/5
4/10 - It was all over the place in a way I do not enjoy. it sounded a bit like tago mago which lucas says makes sense bc its the same genre. A few songs were ambient and then Hero was crazy and loud.
David Bowie
3/5
5/10 - It was a worse David Bowie album. It was short but sounded like his music just a little worse.
Christina Aguilera
2/5
3/10 - It was boring and repetitive feeling. She has the raspy singing on lock but I do not enjoy it that much. I just thought it was bad.
Elvis Presley
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty good. It was the embodiment of Elvis in my opinion. It just sounded like songs he would make and they were pretty good. His voice is so particular and that made them sound more similar Suspicious minds was a fantastic song tho.
Depeche Mode
4/5
7/10 - It was pretty good but nothing fantastic. Never let me down aggro mix went hard. I thought I would have liked Depeche mode more than I did
4/5
8/10 - this was better than the other David Bowie albums. I enjoyed a bunch of the songs that I had heard before and some other ones that I hadn’t.
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty decent. I liked the look of love and all of my heart a good deal but omg poison arrow got on my nerves so quickly. And the way they brought it back in the theme from "mantrap" just upset me. If that song was not on there it would probably be a 7/7.5. I liked the overall vibe.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
3/10 - This was not a good album to say the least. I liked one song, Straight to You, the other songs I really did not enjoy. His voice was annoying the beat was bad. It was just a mix of bad. Straight to You saved it a little bit
The xx
4/5
6.5/10 - The minimalist stylings work super well. I think it is a fantastic chill album that is so nice to listen to. I think I will revisit this whenever I am in the mood. I think that if only half of the songs were this mellow I would be more into it since there would be changes in the feelings.
Curtis Mayfield
2/5
4/10 - I did not like his voice. I will not listen to this again probably
2/5
4.5/10 - It sounded exactly like the George Jones album but with a different singer, which I liked a little bit less. However, I was not in the mood today to be listening to this. Also I am surprised by the amount of songs that are in this style with lyrics about sex but in the least vulgar way possible yet they cover topics like cheating.
Marvin Gaye
3/5
6/10 - It was alright. The first two songs had the exact same message but different words. It was almost like he just took the lyrics of the first song and put it through google translate a couple of times and called it a new song. The other songs did not really stick out to me
Van Morrison
3/5
6.5/10 - While I liked the other Van Morrison album a lot this one just did not hit as hard. He played some of the songs off of the album but they were just worse. Like he kind of ruined into the mystic imo. I liked Saint Dominic's preview quite a bit.
Machito
4/5
7/10 - It was very good. I really enjoyed listening to it. I do not have much more to say
Ryan Adams
3/5
5/10 - It was the definition of a rock album. Nothing crazy happened. Nothing stood out too much to me. But then again nothing was terrible.
The Smashing Pumpkins
2/5
4/10 - It is about the same as the other smashing pumpkins album. I felt the same feelings of he cannot sing and the album is screamy. I sort of liked the beginning of mayonnaise but once he started singing it went downhill greatly,
System Of A Down
2/5
3/10 - Peephole has some clown music playing. The whole album can be surmised by "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Venom
2/5
3.5/10 - See System of a Down review but a few less H's
The Cure
3/5
6/10 - This was a severe let down. Like the music was alright but I like the cure most of the time and this album just did not do it for me. It was kind of boring the whole time.
American Music Club
3/5
5/10 - It would be a 6 but -1 for not being on spotify. It was an alright album but nothing crazy. I did not pay the most attention because for me to listen to this again has to be fantastic and it just was not. I liked the first song a decent bit but it just went downhill as it went on.
Metallica
2/5
4/10 - Don't tread on me has the theme from America from West Side Story in it. its a metallica album, it sounds like the rest of them
Solange
2/5
4/10 - it was alright. I’m not the most into r&b ehich I think think this is. I lik f the song with sampha a little bit but the rest were ok to bad.
Jerry Lee Lewis
3/5
5/10 - Short and mid. Although my thoughts about how albums of this era always have a song about cheating somehow. I have heard great balls of fire surprisingly,
Portishead
1/5
2/10 - I absolutely despised this album. It was just so off putting the entire time. I also listened to it while quite stressed so that definitely did not help. There were no songs that I enjoyed listening too and just wanted it to end.
GZA
2/5
3/10 - It was just another rap album. I did not like it or dislike it that much more than the other ones so its in the same place.
Herbie Hancock
4/5
7/10 - It was a nice relaxing listen while doing homework. Watermelon man was kind of weird but it fit in nicely. I might put this on a chill homework playlist but nothin else.
Skunk Anansie
3/5
6/10 - I was fully ready to hate this album but, it grew on me. I liked the Skank Heads and I'm not afraid a bit. The rest of the songs I did not love and it was strange.
Sinead O'Connor
3/5
5/10 - It was not that interesting overall. Lucas and I listened to nothing compares 2 u at schatz and he told me how his dad likes the song. So I liked that song a little more than the rest
Air
3/5
6/10 - I enjoyed most of it but the last song explained how the movie went and it was pretty gory and made me sad. I know that its telling a sad story but still...
Crosby, Stills & Nash
3/5
6/10 - it was like the same as deja vu. It was not great but not horrible. I feel like the vibes are good but the music is fine.
Emmylou Harris
3/5
5/10 - I feel like I have overrated almost every album of this style. Sometimes it hits sure, but every time I get one of the songs from a country album like this I want to skip it. It feels right when listening to the whole album but when I am not forced to listen to it, it does not work as well.
50 Cent
2/5
3/10 - I think that it is rap. The two songs I had heard were alright probably just because I have heard them enough times that they are manageable. The end of Back Down was strange and the rest of the songs were not that memorable.
Willie Nelson
3/5
5/10 - It was alright. I mean fairly relaxing but nothing special. His voice is alright and the instrumentals are pretty good. I liked Georgia on my mind but other than that it was fine.
Radiohead
4/5
7/10 - it was pretty good but I feel like I don’t get all of the Radiohead hype. I mean it’s pretty good but maybe I’m missing something
The Jesus And Mary Chain
2/5
4/10 - I do not really remember it all that much. I was grinding the whole time. It seemed sort of just like noise but not noise music. It was just not great and not that memorable
Little Simz
3/5
5/10 - At first I was like another british rap album yay. Then it was alright and I liked a few songs. I was too busy to rate it yet so I did not. I just relistened to the songs I thought I liked and they were fine but not as good as I remember.
Electric Light Orchestra
4/5
7/10 - I really liked turn to stone and Latitude 88 North and Mr. blue sky but that's a given. The rest of the album was pretty good though. I feel like this is something I would revisit. I think they used the orchestra part of their name well.
SZA
3/5
5/10 - They kind of all blended together. Some of the songs were bad and some were slightly better. 20 something was weird.
Grizzly Bear
3/5
6/10 - I really liked two weeks but other than that it was quite strange. A lot of it near the second half sounded just like noise.
Funkadelic
3/5
5/10 - There is something so interesting about how funk is the genre that says their name the most often. And whatever is in second is not even close. Overall this was pretty interesting, but not amazing, at the beginning and then by the end it was just a guitar solo for a while. Do not really want to revisit and the fact it is not on spotify makes that pretty easy to do.
AC/DC
4/5
7/10 - The popular songs are pretty good, the less popular songs are alright. I liked Hells Bells and thought it was cool bc one of the critical role parties is called Bells Hells, after one of the characters who died, and I guess it was partially named after this song.
Mudhoney
2/5
4/10 - I do not like grunge I have learned. It was a lot of noise that I did not enjoy listening to. Also why are there so many versions of the same songs on this album on spotify.
Dr. John
2/5
3/10 - It was certainly interesting. I felt like I was in the swamps. Hearing the animals growling around me as some guy dithers in front of me. I am not sure when I would play this again because I liked it, I might play it because its funny.
Norah Jones
3/5
6/10 - It was kind of boring. I was pretty distracted the whole time tbh. We were making chatgpt sing random songs in baby voice. It was pretty funny. The songs sounded pretty similar so if you like the sound youll like the album.
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
4/5
7/10 - It was a vibe to say the least.
Muddy Waters
2/5
4/10 - it was not great. Like it was fine but not the most enjoyable thing to listen to. Some of the lyrics were strange. Tiger in the tank was the epitome of this.
Derek & The Dominos
3/5
6/10 - There were some good songs and some alright ones. Layla is pretty popular so I had heard it before but I also liked Bell bottom Blues. Overall it was decent but nothing amazing.
Boards of Canada
3/5
6/10 - they made a lot of crazy noises throughout the album. One of my favorites were when they said orange a bunch. I kind of see why my friend likes them but not 10%.
Arctic Monkeys
3/5
6/10 - I like the other arctic monkeys songs more. They are just more popular so they grew on me. The only song that I felt was similar to the newer songs was Mardy Bum, which I liked. The rest were pretty good but not amazing.
Fairport Convention
4/5
7/10 - I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think this something that Iniyaa would love. Pretty funny album name. Music was pretty chill and I liked Percy's song.
Led Zeppelin
3/5
6/10 - it was alright. I didn’t love it but some of the songs I had heard before and were decent. Ramble on is pretty good and whole lotta love is alright but the middle was strange.
Turbonegro
4/5
7/10 - Why does good head sound like thunder from thunderstruck. I thought it was pretty good. It was just decent rock but an interesting choice for a band name.
Van Halen
4/5
7/10 - It was pretty good. I liked the songs I knew and some of the other songs were decent. Although I was not a huge fan of Ill Wait
Steely Dan
4/5
8/10 - Got to say Steely and Dan worked really well together on this one. Rikki don't lose that number is the only song from this album that I had heard before but I liked Night by Night, Pretzel Logic and Charlie Freak alongside it.
Motörhead
2/5
3/10 - It was loud and it was bad. Nothing was very good and I had not heard any of the songs before so there was nothing that I have become stockholmed into enjoying.
Björk
3/5
6/10 - This bjork album really had the energy of bjork sings and then someone in a different room plays whatever they want on an instrument or two and then someone else finds some nature sound to throw in the background. They then submit the music without listening. Like someone in love is the epitome of this. I liked Big Time Sensuality and Play Dead. Somehow Bjork always makes something I like.
The The
3/5
6/10 - It was alright. I liked this is the day and after hearing it in music league I liked it more. The rest of the songs were decent but not great. Overall pretty chill nothing crazy.
The Black Crowes
3/5
6/10 - It just sounded like default rock. She talks to angels was alright, so was twice as hard and could i've been so blind. The songs sounded quite similar and sort of like ACDC and other rock bands.
The Specials
2/5
3/10 - His voice is so annoying omg. I really was not expecting most of this to be reggae, and bad reggae at that. Most of the songs are pretty bad. Stupid Marriage is well, stupid. Too much too young was all about contraception which was strange as well. He is just mad bc the girl has a kid and now cant sleep with him.
Silver Jews
2/5
3/10 - "My horses legs look like four brown shotguns" is quite a lyric. Why does this guy hate horse legs? His singing is pretty bad. I did not like any of the songs to be honest.
Fiona Apple
2/5
4/10 - Gives Mitski energy. It was just kind of boring. I did not love her voice. However, the production was pretty good but a little repetitive.
Fugees
3/5
5/10 - Ready or Not sounds like it is sampled by some random mid 2010s song. It also sounds like somebody's watching me inspired a song from the 2000s. The end of the Beast was crazy. It was just someone ordering some food and then they began fighting over the food, I guess. I cannot tell if I have just heard these songs before, these songs are samples or they are all sampled by other artists. There were some strongish songs and a bunch of songs I did not enjoy that much. I think the woman singing was the best parts of the whole thing. Its a 5 not because the songs are mid but because of the average.
The Cult
2/5
4/10 - Generic rock album. I thought I would know born to be wild because its the name of a song that I had on this fake guitar that I used to play way to often when i was like 6. But I do not think that its the same song. A bit of a let down.
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
7/10 - I actually loved a bunch of this album. When you were mine, she bop and all through the night were all so good. I also enjoyed money changes everything a good bit. The main problem with this album is her voice. I cannot stand Cyndi Lauper's voice this album would definitely be an 8/10 if not a 9/10 if there was a different singer.
Eagles
3/5
6/10 - I like the first two songs as I have heard them so many times. But they are also just great songs. The rest was just alright. I wanted to rate this higher before listening but it just did not work.
Boston
4/5
7.5/10 - Decent rock album. I had heard and liked the first three songs before. The other songs were decent. I liked the non-singing parts in this album more than other rock albums we have gotten so far. Overall pretty good.
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
4/10 - I do not know why but I thought My Bloody Valentine was a punk rock band. The music was not necessarily bad and there were some interesting parts but overall it was just kind of boring.
B.B. King
3/5
5/10 - I mean it sounded old timey. I have talked about this before but live albums are just not as good simply bc of the audience yelling the whole time. It was fine.
Bad Company
3/5
6/10 - the songs I knew were good the rest were kind of boring. It was just generic rock but somehow some songs were more popular
Gotan Project
2/5
4/10 - I do not really remember it. It was alright. The songs all flowed together and I do not plan on returning to it.
Pixies
4/5
7/10 - a lot was going on and it was all over the place. But it hit places sometimes. He was yelling about a bunch of random stuff but the best one was during monkey going to heaven.
Elton John
4/5
7/10 - Similar to a bunch of other albums as in the songs I knew were good, the rest were mid. Elton John is a good musician so the songs that were mid were slightly better than mid.
Destiny's Child
2/5
4/10 - idk it sounds like Beyoncé. Some of the songs were too sexually focused in my opinion. The rest were just not that interesting.
The Rolling Stones
2/5
4/10 - The Rolling Stones are boring.
The Killers
4/5
7/10 - The popular songs are bangers and the rest are pretty good. I liked Jenny was a Friend of Mine quite a bit.
New York Dolls
3/5
5/10 - Idk it was fine, it was punk rock which is alright but nothing revolutionary.
Todd Rundgren
4/5
7/10 - I really like this album. It is pretty chill but exciting at the same time. He does a great job with the electronici-sh sounds. Also I love the song intro where he is just complaining about people bad at mixing and editing.
The Who
3/5
6/10 - It was fine. The who makes interesting music, some if it is good and some of it is bad but its interesting. I liked how some of the songs ended with like a radio broadcast thing which was pretty cool imo.
N.W.A.
2/5
3/10 - Frisbee mentioned. Only songs I kind of enjoyed was express yourself. The rest were rap and unenjoyable.
Frank Black
3/5
6/10 - I feel like the cover art does not give the energy that the album actually has. The album overall was decent but not fantastic. Some fo the songs like Ole Mulholland and Speedy Marie were weird but other songs like the Vanishing spies I liked.
2Pac
3/5
6/10 - I liked the backing track for a lot of the songs quite a bit. I still do not really like the actual rap part of the song but it was more manageable and enjoyable.
Adele
4/5
7/10 - I kind of forgot how good some of these songs are. The first two tracks are obvious bangers alongside set fire to the rain. I know someone like you is popular but it did not hit that hard on this listen. The biggest surprise for me was turning tables, I hadn't heard it before and it was very good.
Run-D.M.C.
2/5
4/10 - It was fine. I do not really like record scratches that much and they were used quite a bit. I did not expect to know a song from the album but I guess so.
Bee Gees
4/5
7/10 - It was kind of boring but I enjoyed most of the experience. I thought there was some interesting instrumentation and singing.
PJ Harvey
3/5
6/10 - I did not love it that much. There were some enjoyable parts but overall not my favorite. I was going to relisten bc Lucas said it was good and I just never did.
Soundgarden
2/5
4/10 - I liked Black Hole Sun probably just because I had heard it plenty of times before and the rest were not my style. It was loud and just did not sound very good.
Bill Callahan
2/5
4/10 - It sounded like my horse that matt submitted in music league
Heaven 17
3/5
6/10 - There was some interesting background parts but the lyrics were weird. Definitely an interesting album but not something I am likely to come back to.
The Zombies
3/5
5/10 - It sounds like worse beatles
Rufus Wainwright
4/5
8/10 - I really liked this album. It kind of reminded me of radiohead for some reason. I thought his voice was nice and the songs were well written.
The Soft Boys
3/5
5/10 - it went from normal rock to boring rock. One of the songs had cool instrumentation. They were soft I have to say.
The Birthday Party
1/5
2/10 - wtf is this album. Sex horror sex bats sex horror sex vampire. It was just noise
Black Sabbath
3/5
5/10 - I thought that this album would be way too loud and rockish however it was actually just boring.
Queen
4/5
8/10 - Queen is good. Bohemian Rhapsody has become overplayed for me but I liked you're my best friend, '39 and seaside rendezvous. The style is fresh and interesting. I like the way the vocals go together.
G. Love & Special Sauce
2/5
3/10 - It was bad and boring. The songs all sounded the same and unenjoyable.
Oasis
3/5
6/10 - They kind of sounded like wonderwall but it was not as good because its not a meme. I liked Slide Away however.
John Lennon
3/5
6/10 - A little boring and imagine is overplayed. I sort of enjoyed Oh Yoko!
The Prodigy
3/5
6/10 - There was some cool and interesting parts but a lot of it was not the best. I think that it is very close to being a great album but i just have too many issues with some of the songs.
Soft Machine
2/5
4/10 - It was sort of jazzy and rock like but worse in every way. The songs were way too long. The album was over an hour and there were only 4 songs. The one song with lyrics was so bad.
Harry Nilsson
3/5
6/10 - I liked some of the earlier songs but others were not as enjoyable. Early in the morning was boring and coconut was insane, but fun to listen to. The rest were just alright.
The Stooges
2/5
3/10 - It was way to screamy for me. The songs were just not very fun to listen to.
Talking Heads
4/5
7/10 - Talking heads will literally make songs about anything. The songs were decent but, very much all over the place.
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
7/10 - I like the singing parts of this album a lot more than the pure guitar. One rainy wish was my favorite song by far, but if 6 was 9 was my least favorite.
Carole King
4/5
7/10 - Her voice is amazing and a lot of the piano and other background was pretty good. The only time I had heard of Carole King was because she had a musical called Beautiful I think. That song was not especially amazing but, overall pretty good album.
Can
3/5
6/10 - Ok if only the first and last songs were in the album and they were each broken up into more manageable pieces this could be a 7 or 8. But they had to make this 40 min album into 4 songs. I liked the first song a decent bits still.
Bad Brains
3/5
5/10 - The first few songs were not too bad but Re-ignition was really getting on my nerves. The rest of the album was just sort was loud rockish. Decent but nothing insane.
David Bowie
2/5
3/10 - it was just bad. David Bowie but bad
Femi Kuti
3/5
6/10 - It is quite close to a 7 or 8/10 because I like most of the songs but they are all too long. There are parts of each song that are extremely good but the mix of each song being too long and the album being similar all the way through reduces the score.
Antony and the Johnsons
4/5
8/10 - I loved their voice, the backing tracks were sick. The first and last songs were both fantastic. Plus them being the first openly trans performer to be nominated for the academy award is super cool.
David Bowie
3/5
5/10 - on the title track David Bowie went way to hard on the keys. Some of the other tracks were pretty good but nothing was great.
Syd Barrett
2/5
3/10 - I do not like his singing like at all. The songs without his singing are quite boring. There are multiple times that he starts and then has to re-record and its a part of the song? I just do not get it, it does not sound good.
The Slits
2/5
4/10 - The cover art is interesting to say the least. Sadly the music was good. It was just annoying.
The Stooges
2/5
4/10 - The songs were fine but not great. I am not planning on relistening. Less screamy than the last Stooges album but still not good enough to be more than a 4.
Elvis Costello
3/5
5/10 - It was an album from the 70s
Hole
3/5
6/10 - A little screamy but pretty good. It was not as screamy as some of the albums that were only screaming but still a little too screamy.
Hugh Masekela
3/5
6/10 - It was some pretty good jazz. The songs blended together a bit. I was going to listen to chill music and I remembered that this was a jazz album so I listened to it instead and it filled a similar niche. The last song was bad but the rest were good.
Ramones
3/5
6/10 - The songs were all the same it felt but they were all short. 14 songs on a 30 minute album is crazy imo.
The Undertones
3/5
5/10 - the cover art goes so hard. The lyrics of the songs reminded me of the everly brothers album we had a while ago. I didn’t love the singing but the rest of it was pretty good.
The 13th Floor Elevators
2/5
4/10 - it was kind of bad but not horrible for any specific reason
Spiritualized
4/5
7/10 - there were some pretty interesting tracks. A lot of repetitive stuff and only some of it worked for me.
The War On Drugs
4/5
7.5/10 - I liked the guitar on a bunch of the songs. Was not expecting it to be as good as it was.
Cat Stevens
4/5
7/10 - It was a pretty happy album that brought joy most of the time. It was not too long and had some songs that I had heard before. Overall enjoyable but nothing extraordinary.
Leonard Cohen
2/5
4/10 - It was kind of creepy sounding like Story of Isaac, I know it's about the bible story but it was not fun to listen to. Same thing with Lady Midnight.
The Pretty Things
2/5
4/10 - It's a 60s album so it sounds like the Beatles. Especially bracelets of fingers, aren't those just rings?. Some of the songs are just really bad, i.e. well of destiny and baron saturday.
Meat Loaf
4/5
8/10 - Very theatrical which was fun to listen to. I thought the music as a whole was very good.
Sonic Youth
2/5
3/10 - It was screaming all over the place and just bad. Also some very interesting lyrics.
Jane's Addiction
3/5
6/10 - It was screamy but somehow I liked it more idk. The voice was more gravely and the backing track was so much better. I liked Idiots Rule a lot and thank you boys was an interesting change of pace.
Santana
3/5
6/10 - It was all guitar which is both a good thing and a bad thing. My dad likes Oye Como Va and I did too. The rest were fine.
Radiohead
4/5
7/10 - Maybe I hyped it up too much but this did not hit as hard as I wanted it to. It was pretty good but some of the songs were just boring. I liked how to disappear completely and idioteque but also it reminded me of a cover of idioteque that I had heard a while ago. I should have submitted that for covers week in music league.
Pixies
3/5
5/10 - sounded like the other pixies album. Not great one of the songs sounded like something I had heard before.
Kings of Leon
3/5
5/10 - His voice was kind of annoying. The middle songs were bad the last song was decent.
U2
3/5
6/10 - every song was decent and I have heard a few of them before. They were just not as good as anything I normally listen to so I’m not going to revisit. It’s close to the line between 3-4 stars
Japan
4/5
7/10 - it felt like depeche mode the whole time. But I like depeche mode so it was a positive.
Coldplay
4/5
7/10 - HIs voice is quite good and I like the piano most of the time. It has some repetitions which is not the most fun to listen to some times. Overall a pretty solid album with a lot of hits.
Kraftwerk
3/5
6/10 - It was fine. It was long and I am just not in the mood. The first 4 songs were default kraftwerk stuff the last one was a bit different.
The Verve
3/5
5/10 - The songs with strings sounded better than the songs without. Those also happened to be the only songs I had heard before and the only songs I liked after.
Suede
3/5
6/10 - It kind of sounded like david bowie but most of the songs were worse. For some reason I loved new generation tho.
Kings of Leon
4/5
7/10- The songs on this album were better than the other Kings of Leon album. Sex on Fire and Use Somebody I have heard plenty of times. 17 and I want You were pretty strange songs. 17 was creepy sounding and I want You was just bad and weird to listen to.
R.E.M.
3/5
5/10 - Rem but boring this time.
Gram Parsons
3/5
5/10 - No way they cover a different song on the 1001 albums. They could not find another album that did not cover a different albums song. Its also just generic country. Grievous angel as a name saved it from a 4/10
Van Morrison
4/5
7/10 - It was better than the live album but still worse than Moondance. Some decent songs and some longer ones. His voice kind of becomes grating over time but I like it most of the time.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
6/10 - idk how I feel about the lyric "we all need someone we can cream on." Some of the songs were fine. Jackson likes 2 songs on this album but I still do not get all of the hype. Better than the other rolling stones album.
The Who
4/5
7.5/10 - I thought were not gonna take it was the other song. I absolutely love Pinball Wizard it is just such a good song. The other songs were not as good but go to the mirror and we're not gonna take it were pretty good. I enjoyed the whole album and I enjoyed reading the story as it went on.
Spiritualized
3/5
6/10 - Similar to the last Spiritualized album but a little bit worse. There were still a bunch of interesting songs but some that I liked less. Cop Shoot Cop was long and bad. I liked Cool waves and Stay with Me. Sadly no counting in this album.
ABBA
4/5
7/10 - There were some absolute bangers, some songs that sound like generic ABBA and some songs that were really strange. I liked slipping through my fingers and head over heels. I let the music speak was interesting and extremely strange. Overall some pretty cool sounds.
Dusty Springfield
3/5
6/10 - We have gone almost full circle now except that we still have around 700 albums to go. I think the other Dusty album should have also been a 3/10 I just did not know what my rating scale would be. It was a fine album but I am happy that I have finally caught up.
Scissor Sisters
4/5
7/10 - Ok I thought for sure this would have a female singer was not expecting a man. I was very wrong it seems. A lot of these songs were quite strange. A lot of songs had parts I really enjoyed but also a lot of parts I did not enjoy. I think I have heard comfortably numb before. I liked parts of Filthy/Gorgeous a lot but then other parts I very much did not enjoy. I think if I listened to this album more I would like it more. I might give it a relisten as I think the parts I do not like could grow on me. I liked Get it Get it a lot the whole way through.
M.I.A.
2/5
3/10 - Those of you in music league know my dislike for paper planes so I am not expecting much from this album. Well it was about what I expected. There were a lot of interesting sounds used in this album but I did not enjoy it very much. Jimmy was a decent song.
Morrissey
3/5
6/10 - Some parts were more interesting than others. His voice is pretty good but none of the songs stood out.
Kanye West
4/5
7/10 - One of the lyrics was "And I don't know how I'ma manage, If one day, you just up and leave." And I for sure thought he would say vanish because it is a slant rhyme and sounds so much better. This album was significantly better than I thought it was going to be. I loved the first 4 of the first 5 songs. If the whole album was like this it would have been like an 8. However, it went downhill at Monster. I can 100% see how people think this album is great. I also liked Lost in the World a lot. I did not like blame game very much.
Orbital
3/5
5/10 - Remind kind of sounds like the pokemon sword and shield battle theme (I cannot remember which one) at parts. Unlike the last album there were no songs that I loved but there were still some songs that I did not really like. So overall it was worse, but not by that much.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
6/10 - It sounds like a Springsteen album. Springsteen is just so alright. I liked badlands but the rest of it was not that good.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
3/5
6/10 - it was some decent jazz. I played take 5 in orchestra for some reason so I know that song and like it from that. I assumed blue rondo a la Turk would be like rondo a la Turka, and I think it is, but didn’t hear the resemblance.
Terence Trent D'Arby
3/5
6/10 - some of the songs sounded like 80s and the others were kind of boring. The second to last song was playing while I was doing some longer sprints and it was not the right time.
Cheap Trick
4/5
7/10 - there are some pretty good songs. Like pretty standard rock but some of them worked. I didn’t love that it was live. Idk why but the way they said “I want you to want… me” brought me back to some time.
Calexico
3/5
6/10 - I liked the beginning and then the middle was strange as the singing mostly stopped and then the end was even more weird when some of the singing returned. Idk it was just kind of strange as it evolved
The Rolling Stones
3/5
6/10 - Rolling Stones kinda boring. I really did not like you gotta move. I’ve heard wild horses before and it’s fine. Moonlight mile was probably my favorite song even thought it started pretty slow.
The Prodigy
3/5
6/10 - Not as good as the other prodigy album song by song but as a whole I thought it was about the same. It was really good for the game I was playing while listening. But I did not think any of the songs were great.
The Flying Burrito Brothers
2/5
4/10 - It was boring 60's music.
Michael Jackson
5/5
9/10 - Michael Jackson goes hard. A lot of good songs. I watched the we invited the wrong MJ video again and I did not know where "Give it to me" and "give me some time" were from but the jokes have become so much funnier. I also have distinct memories of elementary school listening to man in the mirror so it just brings me back. The hits are great the rest are fine.
The Beach Boys
3/5
6/10 - all beach boys songs sound the same. They are pleasant sounding but not fantastic. The last song, if you can call it that, was an interesting addition to the album
Queen
3/5
6/10 - it’s really theatric which is very interesting and separates this album from many other albums on the list. But it didn’t work for me on all of the songs.
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
5/10 - it was mid. I didn’t know that echo and the bunny men were so into the bee movie
Deep Purple
3/5
6/10 - It sounded like rock music. It was decent for the gym but I did not love the sound
The Beta Band
3/5
5/10 - The songs were all sort of interesting but none of them are hits. There are no popular songs. It sounds similar to so many other albums on the list. Overall I am just confused as to why it is on this list.
Willie Nelson
2/5
4/10 - the red headed stranger was a crazy song. It sounds like most of the other country albums. But this time I wasn’t in the mood for it
Ray Charles
4/5
7/10 - they all sound the same. Sometimes he is sad and sometimes he is happy but the music is the same
Peter Frampton
3/5
5/10 - It was alright rock music. Idk he did not stand out to me at all
Foo Fighters
3/5
6/10 - I liked some of the songs. It sounded like rock most of the time and I have heard big me before. It became to far out there for me when we reached some of the later songs.
Jeru The Damaja
2/5
3/10 - idk it was just kind of bad. It was rap but it didn’t have anything that I really liked. His name is pretty funny tho
Frank Zappa
2/5
4/10 - There was a lot of interesting stuff but not necessarily in a good way. It was a lot of Frank just messing around on the guitar. Some of it sounded like it could be in a video game especially the beginning of Son of Mr. Green Genes.
Kelela
4/5
7/10 - There was a lot of really cool stuff in this album. I feel like I am not usually into this type of stuff but a lot of the instrumentals are extremely cool and the production is fantastic.
Beatles
4/5
7/10 - the Beatles always sound like the Beatles
Nirvana
3/5
6/10 - pretty decent gym album. I knew a couple of songs. A decent amount of screaming which I did not enjoy that much.
Arrested Development
2/5
4/10 - It was fine. A lot of the backing tracks sounded the same. I feel like most 80s and 90s hip-hop sound basically the same and it is just not the style that I like.
Genesis
3/5
5/10 - it’s boring. Counting out time has some interesting instruments. So does colony of slipper men. Neither are particularly good tho.
The Go-Betweens
3/5
5/10 - It was default Australian rock this time.
Khaled
4/5
7.5/10 - I was not expecting imagine by John Lennon to just be in the middle of the album. I really enjoyed Trigue Lycee and Ya Aachkou. I think if this was on spotify I would listen to some of the songs quite a bit
The B-52's
2/5
4/10 - This was just such a weird album. Lucas said they made love shack and he knew the song rock lobster which was not great but is a fantastic title.
Guns N' Roses
3/5
6/10 - There were some decent songs. All of the songs I knew I at least sort of enjoy listening to. I think if I had never heard any of theses songs then I would have rated it lower.
Bee Gees
3/5
6/10 - Some of the instrumental pieces were nice. The Bee Gees are just not what I expect bc it is not stayin alive
Gorillaz
2/5
3/10 - It was extremely strange and not that good. I had heard Clint Eastwood before but it was not the best. In the later songs it seems like they gave instruments to people who had never played them and said go off.
Sonic Youth
3/5
6/10 - I liked a lot of the music parts of the songs but the taking and screaming did not work for me. Definitely better than the other one
Public Image Ltd.
2/5
3/10 - This was a bad album. The last song deservers to be up there with pekking O in the list of songs that are so bad they are entertaining.
Scott Walker
3/5
6/10 - it’s like Scott 2 but newer
The Replacements
3/5
6/10 - There were some very interesting titles but not very interesting songs. Overall it was fine
John Martyn
2/5
4/10 - Lucas said it was boring and he had a weird voice. Those are both true statements
The Clash
3/5
6/10 - It was alright. I liked police and thieves a good bit but the rest was just ok.
Slipknot
2/5
3/10 - loud metal does not always work for me. It reminds me of 3rd grade playing the bigs 2
Drive-By Truckers
2/5
3/10 - Boring southern rock. He shouted out lynyrd skynyrd way too much
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
2/5
4/10 - These has been a streak of not enjoyable albums. All for different reasons though. His artist name is accurate. He is just ramblin and I did not like it. Grey Goose was completely unlistenable to me. I wanted to turn it off so badly.
Joni Mitchell
3/5
6/10 - Joni Mitchell has a nice voice. However, some of these songs are quite strange. Especially Twisted. I have no idea what the point of the song was. I liked raised on robbery tho
Teenage Fanclub
4/5
7/10 - It had some decent production. I thought it was enjoyable but nothing insanely good.
Michael Jackson
4/5
8/10 - Very enjoyable. Michael jackson is always fun to listen to. Don't stop till you get enough and rock with you are classics. But I also really liked Burn this disco out and the rest were groovy.
Steely Dan
4/5
7/10 - Not as good as Pretzel Logic in my opinion. I can see why someone would love this album but it just did not hit as hard.
The Icarus Line
2/5
4/10 - I didn’t think this album was that bad until Meatmaker. It was just so bad. The rest didn’t make me feel like I needed to turn it off.
The xx
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty much the same as the other one but a little bit worse.
The Crusaders
3/5
6/10 - Decent jazz but kind of faded into the background
Paul Simon
4/5
7/10 - I absolutely love Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard but the rest of the album was not as good as I wanted it to be.
Otis Redding
3/5
6/10 - It was decent. Sounded old timey and had 2 songs that might be covers or are covered of more popular songs.
The Roots
2/5
4/10 - It was alright. A lot of interesting pieces but nothing that I enjoyed all too much. They are the band that plays with Jimmy Fallon which is cool I guess. It does hit a wide variety of genres.
Brian Eno
2/5
3/10 - So many of these songs are not enjoyable to listen to. I enjoyed On Some Faraway Beach a lot but Blank Frank and Driving me Backwards were not good at all.
Tricky
2/5
3/10 - idk I just don’t think I like the genre. Also I though the woman singing was the main artist until Lucas said it wasn’t
The White Stripes
3/5
6/10 - The white stripes are kind of boring I have learned. I thought that more of their songs would be like seven nation army but I guess not.
The Pharcyde
2/5
3/10 - the cover reminded me of junkyards. The music not very enjoyable. There weren’t really any moments that stood out as particularly good and the skits were not funny or entertaining
Flamin' Groovies
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty relaxing. I was vibing most of the album but I was not completely enthralled by song. I feel like parts of Louie Louie and Scratch my Back sounded familiar.
The Go-Go's
3/5
5/10 - The main singer's vocals are kind of annoying in my opinion. The songs themself kind of blended together but they were alright.
Paul McCartney
4/5
7/10 - It was quite nice to listen to. Pretty good overall. It sounded like the beatles, unsurprisingly. I liked every night the most it was relaxing.
Devendra Banhart
2/5
4/10 - It was kind of boring and pretty weird. I thought it was interesting that there was a song about poughkeepsie. Also See Saw was a crazy song.
The Flaming Lips
4/5
7/10 - There were a bunch of songs that I kind of enjoyed but his voice was just annoying. I really liked race for the prize and waitin for a superman
Underworld
2/5
4/10 - idk it was electronica but not the way I liked for some reason.
Happy Mondays
3/5
6.5/10 - it was pretty funny sometimes and sort of entertaining but I wouldn’t go back to it
John Lee Hooker
2/5
4/10 - It was not very fun to listen to. I was kind of bored the whole time. His voice was so deep but not interesting.
The Divine Comedy
5/5
8.5/10 - The bio said he was influence by scott walker and I can very much hear that. But also idk why but this album was actually amazing to me. I loved becoming more like alfie, frog princess, woman of the world and theme from cassanova. The scott walker influence is most heard in dogs and the horses.
Dinosaur Jr.
2/5
4/10 - most of the songs were fine but the second to last song was all yelling and I did not enjoy it
4/5
7/10 - I think oasis is actually this close (pretend I’m pinching my fingers) to being a great artist. I think that wonderwall being a meme kind of screwed them.
Meat Puppets
2/5
4/10 - idk I wasn’t paying that much attention. Also I listened to this album like a week ago and idk what I was writing. I think one of the songs was just yelling
Dwight Yoakam
3/5
5/10 - It was alright country. He sounded sad most of the time.
Circle Jerks
2/5
3/10 - It sounded like aggressive punk rock. Luckily it was short. Also the only lyrics in most of the songs were the titles.
Amy Winehouse
3/5
6/10 - I see the appeal her voice is amazing but it just is not for me.
Elvis Presley
3/5
5/10 - It sounds like elvis and therefore sounds like the 60s. It is fine.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
6/10 - Not as good as Born to Run, which I should give a higher rating. I like his voice but it sounds a little bit older. I loved Mary's Place as a song. Other songs were decent.
David Bowie
3/5
6/10 - David Bowie has too many albums on this list. This album did not need to be on there i think.
Manu Chao
3/5
6/10 - There were some interesting songs. One of them he was just welcoming me to Tijuana and it was nice. I do not think I will relisten.
Rod Stewart
3/5
6/10 - Decently enjoyable. Pretty relaxing music. There were some nice parts and some parts that were boring.
Sisters Of Mercy
2/5
4/10 - It was kind of bad. Not very enjoyable to listen to. Reminded me a bit of depeche mode/david bowie but worse.
The Doors
3/5
5/10 - It was a little boring. There some decent parts but nothing that I loved.
Britney Spears
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty fun to listen to. The songs were all pretty similar but it was a good vibe. Baby one more time was the best song and others were kind of just a worse version of it, but all enjoyable.
Tangerine Dream
3/5
5/10 - Very strange ambient album. A lot of the songs were just random sounds but all together not too bad. Plus I think Phaedra is a cool name for an album.
KISS
3/5
6/10 - There were some ok parts, but overall it was just mid.
Gene Clark
3/5
6/10 - It was some decent country. But nothing crazy. Where my love lies asleep kind of sounded like the overcooked main theme.
Stevie Wonder
4/5
7/10 - Stevie Wonder does not disappoint. Superstition is obviously a great song but I also really liked I believe. Overall great music.
Yes
3/5
5/10 - Decent rock album. Sadly no hit or meme song. The songs were pretty similar and nothing was crazy good.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
7/10 - Red Hot Chili Peppers kind of go hard. All of the hits are fantastic plus I liked Parallel Universe. I understand the rapping was not the best but the rest of the songs were fantastic.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
4/10 - Prog rock and also just all over the place. A lot of the pieces sounded not the most musical, especially at the beginning. But Nutrocker kind of went hard
Common
3/5
5.5/10 - It was a worse version of the other common album. There were fewer synths and other things that drew me to the first album.
Aphex Twin
3/5
6/10 - It was ambient. Which means not much really happened and it faded into the background as it is going to. It's aphex twin what else is there to sy
Elliott Smith
4/5
7/10 - Elliot Smith is good. The songs sound fairly similar but Elliot Smith knows what he is doing. I did not notice an specific favorites on the first listen but I might revisit.
Manic Street Preachers
2/5
4/10 - It was kind of bad and not fun to listen to. The cover art was also strange.
Gang Starr
2/5
4/10 - classic 90s rap. It just isn’t that good and sounds similar to every other 90s rap album.
a-ha
4/5
7.5/10 - sounded very much of its time but it worked well. Take on me is obviously a banger but there were other good tracks as well
Koffi Olomide
2/5
4/10 - the songs sounded almost the same and were not that good in my opinion.
Big Star
3/5
6.5/10 - it was pretty decent
Kate Bush
4/5
7/10 - Obviously running up that hill is goated additionally, there were some decent songs in the middle of the album. Some weird songs namely Waking The Witch but the Irish folk music at the end was nice.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
2/5
4/10 - It was kind of boring and all of it ended up sounding the same. None of it was necessarily bad which makes it a 4 and nothing lower.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
4/10 - it was kind of boring and similar sounding. I don’t plan on revisiting. The last song was also so strange the way he would just say all of the lyrics over himself singing.
Steve Earle
4/5
7/10 - It is a classic country album but I liked a few songs. I think I like country more than I originally thought
Björk
2/5
4/10 - I think I could have really liked this album except for the singing. Like she had a lot of good instrumental parts and the backing tracks are nice but I cannot with her singing. Lucas said that maybe she would be better if she sang in Icelandic and I might agree.
Einstürzende Neubauten
1/5
2/10 - It was just noise. Not great for pre-tournament music. Best album with a jackhammer tho
Nirvana
4/5
8/10 - I can very clearly see why this is one of the top albums. A lot of bangers all the way through. The last song was pretty bad but apparently it is a bonus track. I also did not like Something In the Way which was surprising to me.
Ash
4/5
8/10 - I need to revisit it because the songs sounded the same but, it sounded good the same.
David Holmes
3/5
6/10 - there was some cool parts but it was kind of weird
Wild Beasts
3/5
6/10 - There were some decent parts and some mid parts.
Lambchop
3/5
6/10 - It was pretty relaxing but was also quite repetitive. I think it did a nice job making the atmosphere. I could feel myself sitting around a campfire or on a porch swing listening to someone play this song
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
4/10 - Bruce, you really killed it with born to run, but this was just boring. I feel like his voice even was not as interesting as it was during the other albums.
John Grant
3/5
6.5/10 - It was pretty similar but pretty nice the whole time. It loses a couple points for him saying both the n and f words tho. Someone wrote that he kind of sounds like Bo Burnham and I can see that mixed with a more space-like atmosphere
Alice Cooper
2/5
3/10 - It was annoying and unenjoyable. I did not really like his voice or most of the instrumentation. Mary Ann was different enough to have some good parts
Gil Scott-Heron
4/5
7/10 - when he wasn’t talking/singing it was really good. The poems were sort of interesting but I didn’t like them musically. Some of the panning was wild. Overall I liked it though
Happy Mondays
2/5
4/10 - It was kind of weird not that enjoyable. Not horrible tho so 4/10 feels right
Fatboy Slim
4/5
7/10 - It was a pretty fun listen. A lot of cool electronic sounds. A lot of the songs were repetitive but that is a little expected for older electronic songs.
Bauhaus
2/5
4/10 - not very enjoyable
Coldcut
2/5
3/10 - very strange and not fun to listen to. The first song I kind of enjoyed but it just got worse
Queen
4/5
7/10 - Queen is good and killer queen is great. Makes a pretty good album in total
Blur
2/5
4/10 - voice is just annoying
Sugar
4/5
7/10 - I liked Hoover Dam and man on the moon the rear were not bad. Overall decent album
Dr. Octagon
2/5
3/10 - None of the songs I liked and some of them made me quite uncomfortable. It was just not very good and I was anxiously waiting for it to end
Prince
3/5
5/10 - why is prince so horny. I feel like there were some good songs but a lot was taken away by him talking
David Gray
3/5
6/10 - kinda boring but not bad. Part of it sounds like beginning of a van Morrison song
Funkadelic
2/5
4/10 - it was not very enjoyable. Boring guitar for a bit and mid music the rest of the time
David Ackles
2/5
4/10 - pretty boring without many interesting factors.
Nina Simone
2/5
4/10 - not a gym album and also not a great album in general. The second song was also kind of weird to listen to
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
6/10 - it was not great but kind of faded into the background when working. I enjoyed overall listening to it
2/5
4/10 -it was a little all over the place and not in a great way. I’m not a huge fan of this style of music and really did not enjoy the last “song” although it was decent for the gym.
Fiona Apple
2/5
3/10 - it was a little to weird for me. The first song ended weird and it just stayed the same the rest of the time. I could see how someone likes this but not for me
Morrissey
3/5
6.5/10 - he made some good points but we have had one of the three types of presidents he mentioned in the first song. Overall a decent album but I probably won’t revisit
The Kinks
3/5
5/10 - it was just boring and all the sounds sounded the same and a product of the time
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
7/10 - the instrumentation of one of those things sounds like sweet home Alabama. I like dexys midnight runners way more than I should. Most of the songs I actually enjoy but they just talk so much during them.
The Beta Band
2/5
4/10 - it was kind of boring and the parts that weren’t boring were not good enough to make up for it. Plus the last song was pretty weird
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
3/5
6/10 - there were some songs I really enjoyed. Mostly the ones where there was no singing like Nashville blues. The rest were kind of annoying
William Orbit
4/5
7/10 - it kind of reminded me of Minecraft music. It was pretty relaxing most of the time and I would listen to this again while studying or something
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
4.5/10 - maybe just being in the gym where I could focus on the music more made it worse but I didn’t like this one as much as the one I listened to like 5 days ago. I also feel like every time they sing it sounds not the best. Ok I kinda liked the last song
Ananda Shankar
2/5
4/10 - I was kind of enjoying the first few sounds but the ocean was just so long and so repetitive that I got annoyed.
Minutemen
2/5
3/10 - there were like 40 songs I didn’t really like any of them. They were all bad in different ways. Some of the songs were kind of just noise
Jamiroquai
4/5
7/10 - idk why I expected jamiroquai to be a rap artist but I was mistaken. I enjoyed the funk music a good bit.
Portishead
2/5
4/10 - I don’t like portishead. I think if I can imagine a camera zooming out from a destroyed city or a dead main character while the song is playing I will not like. Portishead has managed to nail that sound.
Eurythmics
3/5
6/10 - It was kind of a strange album. Not exactly up my alley but decent overall. Sweet Dreams is pretty good but other songs were kind of strange.
The Beach Boys
3/5
5/10 - It was less happy as pet sounds by the beach boys but the same sound. I feel like it did not work as well. But it was still ok
Malcolm McLaren
2/5
4/10 - this was the most all over the place album I have ever heard. Every song was a different genre. Some of them were fine others were bad
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
3/5
6/10 - it was a strange album but not my cup of tea
Jane's Addiction
3/5
5/10 - it was fine nothing crazy.i thought it was funny how they introduced themselves in Spanish
Barry Adamson
3/5
6/10 - Some of these songs were pretty nice and relaxing and some of the songs are really creepy especially it’s business as usual. Vermillion kisses was strange but it used the word ejaculated to describe someone talking and it was not something I’ve heard in a while. I think if there was less singing I would like it more but not because the singing was bad.
Lightning Bolt
2/5
3/10 - it is just heavy rock and roll but it kind of sounds like noise the whole time. Not very good in my opinion maybe if you love guitar you will like it
Grateful Dead
2/5
4/10 - I’m just no a big fan of an hour+ of mostly guitar. It wasn’t bad but it was not good. I don’t understand all the hype for them
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
6/10 - I feel like I’ve heard a lot do bob Marley songs yet none of them were in this album. I liked stir it up but the rest was just alright
Robert Wyatt
2/5
4/10 - this was a strange album to say the least. A lot of weird use of instruments that I didn’t love
Kraftwerk
3/5
5/10 - Kraftwerk is just alright. The songs are all kind of boring and the more I listen to their albums the more I see that its only ok
The Hives
2/5
3/10 - this is not my new favorite band I can tell you that much. Reminded me of group sex and GI by Germs. Both of which I didn’t like too much. It was just punk rock and not in the good way - at least it was short
Ryan Adams
3/5
6/10 - man is trying to be bob dylan with the harmonica but it’s not going great. Not bad but not amazing.
Judas Priest
3/5
5/10 - it was like a default rock album idk it was fine
Hüsker Dü
3/5
6/10 - maybe I just think everything sounds like rem now but this is sounds like rem but a little different. Didn’t love it but it was decently enjoyable
The Stooges
2/5
4/10 - Not great but nothing horrible
Dinosaur Jr.
2/5
3/10 - I don’t like dinosaur jr or this style of music really. Also what did they do to the cure 😢 it’s so much worse
Fairport Convention
3/5
5/10 - Worse version of Unhalfbricking and a less funny name
Beatles
3/5
6/10 - It is quite a long album with some bangers (usually the popular songs). It is interesting to me how with the beatles usually the popular songs are actually the best ones I feel like with other artists there is always one banger that is undervalued. Revolution 9 was actually unlistenable
Mj Cole
2/5
3/10 - it was weird and really long
Barry Adamson
2/5
4/10 - another very strange album. Kind of fitting for Halloween as it had spooky vibes for some of the songs.
Marilyn Manson
2/5
3/10 - it was very screamy and not enjoyable. One of the songs kind of sounded like snakes from arcane but the voice was bad and the song was worse
Dizzee Rascal
2/5
3/10 - British rap doesn’t hit for me
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
2/5
4/10 - another strange album but this one was more fun to listen to. The guitar was sometimes interesting
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
7/10 - this was nice. It wa quite relaxing and fun to listen to. Even tho it wasn’t a gym album it was fun
10cc
3/5
6/10 - the songs were all decently unique but nothing was fantastic
Beck
3/5
5/10 - I liked this more than one beck album and less than another so 5 it is
Johnny Cash
3/5
5/10 - I don’t love Johnny cash but the songs aren’t bad
Billie Holiday
3/5
5/10 - it’s old timey and fits that vibe but it’s not my favorite because of that
Hole
4/5
7/10 - I enjoyed this more than expected. I liked boys on the radio and heaven tonight the most even though it kind of sounded like smashing pumpkins I liked it more.
Incubus
3/5
6/10 - we had one incubus song in music league and I thought it was good. This album was only decent.
Mudhoney
2/5
4/10 - when I saw the title of this album idk but I thought it’d be jazz. It was not and it also wasn’t that good but also not horrible
Leonard Cohen
2/5
4/10 - I remember listening to you want it darker, and if didnt enjoy it. I think his voice is so low it makes me imagine something bad is happening in a movie. I liked the strings
Siouxsie And The Banshees
2/5
3/10 - she’s just kind of annoying. Banshees is a valid band name bc of the wailing
Badly Drawn Boy
4/5
7/10 - it surprised me that I actually kind of liked it. I thought it would be boring or similar to everything else on this list but it was pretty good
Genesis
2/5
4/10 - I liked how the all went nicely into the next one. It seems like this was meant to be listened to as a whole album and I don’t plan on listening to it any other way. It was strange to say the least
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
9/10 - I can see why this is one of the top albums basically all of the songs were good.
Tom Waits
1/5
2/10 - can bro just shut up omg. I am listening a music album not a comedy special. While I’m hating the people in the audience seem to like it. I don’t like the music too much and he’s just talking way more than necessary
Merle Haggard
3/5
5/10 - I feel like the old timey country music all feels the same to me and the only reason they are getting lower and lower ratings is because I’ve heard a lot of it now.
Hot Chip
4/5
7/10 - It was different than most of the albums on here. More electronic sounds which made me happy
Youssou N'Dour
2/5
4/10 - it wasn’t bad but I don’t plan on relistening to this anytime soon
Brian Wilson
2/5
3/10 - I really don’t like his voice it seems. Idk the songs were alright but he just sounded goofy
