Chris by Christine and the Queens

Hmm - ok, but not outstanding. Easy listening Pop, french singing better compared to english ones.

All Ratings (155)

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Dec 28 2023

Dire Straits are an important band for me - a constant, beautiful companion over the last 40 years. However, I personally prefer the band's live albums. Nevertheless, a safe 4 stars!

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jan 02 2024

Quite cool music - I like it.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 03 2024

Not really my music - I „normally“ :-) like this kind of music, but why this album is on the 1001 list. From my point of view, there are better ones. Perhaps 1992 was such a bad year for grunge,guitar,rock,… :-)

Jan 04 2024

Smooth and quite easy listening. But for me, it's not one of the 100 albums I would take with me to a desert island

Movies by Holger Czukay
Jan 07 2024

I like CAN, I like german „Krautrock“ - 5 stars from me for Holger

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jan 09 2024

Hmm - there are better new wave bands. I don't like the voices too much. Three stars - mostly because of the beat ;-)

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jan 10 2024

Not my music - I don‘t like electronic drum kits and the voice from Mariah is not mine, too.

Jan 11 2024

I like Ray Charles singing the blues, Country and Western is not mine. To be honest - the album sounds a little bit better than expected. Therefore 3 stars…

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 13 2024

Great album, great artist, great music. Springsteen live is even better - compared to the studio albums. In combination with the E-Street band -> wow! For sure: 5stars

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jan 14 2024

Hmm, I have not heard about this band before. I really like the sound, the music, the voices. That‘s mine

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Jan 15 2024

Hip-Hop is not my favourite music. Q-Tip did not flashes me at all.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jan 16 2024

Although hip-hop is not my thing, the album gets 4 stars. It's creative and fun.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Jan 18 2024

Quite ok - runs smooth ;-)

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Jan 19 2024

I like such psychedelic stuff

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jan 20 2024

In the 80s, synth pop was definitely not(!) mine. Today, I’m a little bit more relaxed :-) I can hear it as background music without being bored. That’s good - 3,5stars would be the correct number for voting this album

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 23 2024

Such a great album. I like it more than rumors. The song "Tusk" is outstanding, Not that funny too (especially in a live version). Over & over is wonderful. Easy decision: 5 stars!

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jan 25 2024

Hmm - some songs are definitely worth of 5 stars, others really not. Therefore 3,5 stars in summary :-)

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 27 2024

I like her voice - and this great live performance, too

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jan 28 2024

Absolutely not mine

GI by Germs
Jan 29 2024

Normally I like punk music - but this was really bad. Sorry Germs, only one star

Synchronicity by The Police
Jan 30 2024

Very nice - sorry, but I love songs like "Every breath you take" ;-)

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jan 31 2024

You like her voice, her style, her musi. Or you will hate it - any space in between? My opinion: no 🤣 For me it works out very well - five stars

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Feb 02 2024

Much better as I have expected. Early years - good stuff. I have to keep it in mind. Safe 4 stars!

Feb 03 2024

Great album - I was not aware about other very interesting songs besides the well known (and not my favorite song) „With or without you“. Songs like „Bullet the blue sky“ are much more what I like. So, 4 stars for the album!

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Feb 05 2024

Good songwriter, good music.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Feb 06 2024

I really like Nina Simone - to be honest, this album is not the best. But if you like her voice, you will like this album, too. 4 stars, because there are better ones from Nina

In Utero by Nirvana
Feb 08 2024

Sorry, but this album is not as good as „Nevermind“ - 4 stars

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Feb 10 2024

Country is not my music, but Johnny is an great entertainer. Therefore 4stars - I‘m impressed!

Tommy by The Who
Feb 11 2024

I like the who - especially „Live at leeds“. But „Tommy“ is not really mine.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 12 2024

Very cool album!

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Feb 14 2024

Nice - I like it. Straight forward rock - straight forward 5 stars from me!

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Feb 15 2024

Hmm - ok, but not outstanding. Easy listening Pop, french singing better compared to english ones.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Feb 16 2024

Not my music - but a little bit better than expected ;-)

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Feb 18 2024

puh - not really mine. It sounds “so old”.. By the way: each song “faded out” -> that’s not my way of story telling

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 20 2024

Hmm - I like Cream. At least, I was quite sure, that I like Cream ;-) But this album sounds oldfashioned. Nothing, what needs a spin on my player. As it does not hurt, 3 stars

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Feb 21 2024

That's easy -> great artist, great album, great performance

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 22 2024

ELO is nice, but sometimes (for me) too easy, too smooth, too beautiful.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Feb 23 2024

Oldie, but (only 50%) „Goldie“ For me it does not work anymore

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 24 2024

Quite easy - cool album. Very nice -> 5 stars

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Feb 25 2024

It's like a ZZ Top album - some songs are great, but it's much variation...

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Feb 28 2024

Hmm: "anarcho-syndicalist speedfreak road-movie record" Some songs are very ok, other much too much "anarcho" for me ;-)

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Feb 29 2024

Tina Turner - hmm.. I like the "blues years" - the early years. Private dancer is much too much commerce for me. Some songs are great, some not. Therefor 3 stars.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Mar 01 2024

Not mine - He didn't get me with his music and lyrics

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Mar 02 2024

Cool stuff - 4 stars! 🤩

Different Class by Pulp
Mar 05 2024

Cool album - put it on my playlist. Lesson learned!

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Mar 06 2024

Easy - This „freak“ gets freaky 5 stars.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Mar 07 2024

Some songs great, some boring. At the 3 stars (with some goodwill)

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 09 2024

Some songs are great, other make me nervous.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Mar 10 2024

Typical Van Morrison - this album is from 1970! It sounds like much newer Van Morrision songs. I like it.

Debut by Björk
Mar 11 2024

Good album - not exactly my music. Anyway: safe 4 stars

Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 12 2024

Good album - but not more :-) Glorification not necessary and not needed.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Mar 13 2024

hmm… - sounds interesting, but at the end it‘s not my favorite. Good try - 3 stars

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Mar 14 2024

„Normally“ I like these folk stuff - and also Pentangle. But this album was annoying to listen. No fun at all - only 2 stars and waiting for Clanned

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Mar 15 2024

Not my music

War by U2
Mar 16 2024

I'm not a U" fan - but this album is really good.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Mar 20 2024

Puh - this sounds so old. Is it country or western? 😇🤣

Tical by Method Man
Mar 21 2024

Puh - nothing for my ears. Some beat on each song. No, I'm not a hip-hop fan

Bossanova by Pixies
Mar 22 2024

Quite good album

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Mar 24 2024

This works not for me - not at all

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 25 2024

It‘s good - but I would not buy it.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 26 2024

I have not heard Blondie for around 20 years - the album is much better than expected. Cool stuff and it works for me today quite well

Transformer by Lou Reed
Mar 27 2024

Was it really 1972? Even today songs like „Perfect day“ or Walking on the wild side“ are outstanding!

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Mar 29 2024

Creative music - I like it.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Mar 31 2024

Ok - but there are better stuff from Tangerine Dream

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Apr 01 2024

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top

I love La grange - some other great songs are also onb this album. Over all - 4 stars for this ZZ Top music

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Apr 03 2024

Quite good start - but become more and more „crazy“

Great album - I like it

Nice album

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Apr 16 2024

puh - it sounds old, for me it‘s an oldie, but not a goldie :-)

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Apr 19 2024

Ok - or better: just ok

Violator by Depeche Mode
Apr 20 2024

Depeche mode wasn't my cup of tea back in the 90s - and it hasn't changed yet

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Apr 24 2024

Puh - makes me nervous. No relaxing or positive music. not mine

Hmm - there are better albums from Radiohead

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Apr 29 2024

Great album - what an emotional experience

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
May 05 2024

Great album - the best jingle ever (only old germans will remember)

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
May 06 2024

You must be in the right mood - if not, too much „noise“ and much too less music 🤔

Take Me Apart by Kelela
May 08 2024

Not mine - but good pop music

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 11 2024

Relaxing music - only 4 stars, because there are better albums from Boy Marley

Trio by Dolly Parton
May 12 2024

Great voices - but definitely not my music

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
May 13 2024

Hmm - HipHop is not mine, but this one ist quite ok. Interesting samples, grooving rhythm.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
May 16 2024

No, no, no - that's not mine. What kind of music is it? I like psychodelic, rock, progressive and many other styles - this sounds like "early industrials". Sorry, only one star from me for this "noise"

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
May 18 2024

cool stuff - Personally I like long songs, especially if they are telling a good story. So, I‘m impressed. Thanks for this 45min.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
May 19 2024

I have never heard about this band - I was really surprised, positively :-) I have heard the songs twice in a row. Creative music, I like it. Album is now a part of „my music“ at Tidal

1984 by Van Halen
May 22 2024

Hmm, I was aware about "Jump" - as this is played so often, I have reduced Van Halen to this song. Thanks to get a chance to hear the complete album :-) At the end I was surprised - songs like "hot for teacher" are really good, creative and powerful. Thanks for this. At the end 4 stars - because not all songs have this high level

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
May 23 2024

Good album - I like this. It's between prog, rock, alternative and metal -> cool.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
May 25 2024

Good music, but big band jazz is not my favorite

The Band by The Band
May 28 2024

Quite good album - not too much country style (like the later albums). Therefore 3 stars

Leftism by Leftfield
Jun 05 2024

Hmm - not my music. But I have not skipped between the tracks. Funny. Therefore 3 stars!

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jun 07 2024

Hmm - perhaps this worked out in 1966. For me the psychedelic stuff is quite annoying. Sorry guys, one star must be enough

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Jun 08 2024

Quite good music, as mentioned in other reviews: sometimes it sounds like the title theme of as moderen western ;-) 4 stare for the good mix!

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 09 2024

Simply good music :-)

Jun 12 2024

First guess, 3 stars. But after hearing: "Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!" I put an additional one especially for this song :-)

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jun 20 2024

If you like this kind of jazz music, it is truly an amazing album. Good stuff, Mr Coltrane

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jun 21 2024

Some songs are great, others just ok. Later albums from. Miriam Makeba are much better (from my point of view). As the music does not hurt, 3 stars ;-)

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Jun 26 2024

Definitely not my music - sorry!

Third by Soft Machine
Jun 27 2024

Simply: it does not work for me

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jun 30 2024

Hmm, it worked not for me

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 02 2024

I like blues, I like guitar music. Nevertheless it is sometimes difficult to hear Jimi Hendrix. After hearing it twice: 4 stars as a tribute to the great guitarist

90 by 808 State
Jul 03 2024
Mask by Bauhaus
Jul 08 2024

The ´80s - some songs are working even in 2024, others not

My Generation by The Who
Jul 09 2024

The song "My generation" is genious - I like, if they are playing songs like "I'm a man" - cool version. The rest is ok - but nothing what kicks me today.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jul 12 2024

Quite ok - nothing "new", but solid blues rock
