The Rolling Stones · 3 likes
2/5
2.5 never really got the hype around the stones. Sure they have some great hits, but I’ve never listened to a whole album so I assumed I was just missing something. This album didn’t do much to change my opinion, in fact it probably hurt more than helped. This album wasn’t bad but it was boring. 90% sounded the exact same throughout and there wasn’t a single song that stood out. How people can say they’re even in the same conversation as the Beatles still blows my mind

2 - ok but it was so inoffensive that it became boring
Jefferson Airplane · 2 likes
4/5
4.5 - fantastic psychedelic album. Best songs were when grace slick was singing. Kinda lost itself towards the end. The last few songs started to sound like a generic blues man

2.5 it exists
The Darkness
3/5
Started off strong then really took a dive. Almost unlistenable by the end
The Mars Volta
3/5
Almost enjoyable. Talented musicians. Hated the lead guitar tone. Needed to let songs breath more often instead of cramming 100 notes in a measure
The Police
3/5
3.5 mostly good not great
Brian Eno

Tough album to rate. Very unique and creative but nothing really stood out. Some could make cool soundtracks

Not really my genre but I kinda liked it. 7 seas, and Billy’s one stop highlights

3/5

Simon & Garfunkel

Common

3.5 even though it’s not my favorite genre I can still recognize it’s a good album that I enjoyed for the most part. Standout songs were “Real People”, “They Say”, and “Be(intro)”. However there were some poor songs with “Faithful” being borderline terrible. Who thought the Alvin and the Chipmunks backup vocals were a good idea
Solomon Burke
2/5
Excellent vocal work too bad all of the songs were pretty boring
Buena Vista Social Club
3/5
The Avalanches
2/5
Sounded like a soundtrack to 1080 or SSX Tricky

4/5
Start of the album full of great songs and then the second half jam session got pretty boring
Youssou N'Dour
3/5
3 the songs were enjoyable but they were way too long without much if any changes
Joy Division
2/5
2.5 kinda cool gloomy moods. Overall a little boring. Interzone, I remember nothing, and she’s lost control highlights
Throbbing Gristle
2/5
2-is this an album I’ll ever listen to again, probably not. But I did feel like this album had a vision and executed it. It took me on a journey through an analog horror film
Kid Rock
2/5
The album is not good, there’s nothing special about the music and the lyrics are laughable. But there’s something to Bawitdaba and cowboy. They aren’t great songs but they are catchy so I have to give this album some credit
Mercury Rev
3/5
3.5 Holes, Goddess on a hiway, and opus 40 were all great songs. The rest of the album however weren’t as stellar got a little busy
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
4 great album. Some the the first songs were just ok
Fred Neil
2/5
Cool deep voice but mostly boring

3.5 bold as love absolutely cranks

2.5 the title track was the only song that stuck with me
The Electric Prunes
2/5
This album sounded like 6 different albums in one and none was particularly good
Laura Nyro
2/5
2.5 her voice is great and the sound quality is phenomenal but it just seems to be trying too much
Supergrass

3.5
The Dandy Warhols
2/5
Supertramp
3/5
3.5 good songs but sometimes the production went a bit over board and came off as cheesy
Talking Heads
2/5
Once in a lifetime and great curve only standouts
Motörhead
3/5
Odd selection for this list. I feel I can’t accurately judge a live album the same as a studio album because it’s essentially just a greatest hits. So I guess I’ll judge it on performance instead of composition. Motörhead is Motörhead. Simple songs to thrash to and that’s exactly what this was. However I feel like the sound quality of the album couldn’t adequately replicate the feeling of being at a Motörhead show.
John Prine
4/5
Not a huge country guy but this album was special. The lyrics were great and I loved the protest message.
Elvis Presley
2/5
2.5 mostly lame old crooning Elvis with some bangers sprinkled in
Taylor Swift
2/5
2.5 a bunch of non-offensive pop songs that are plagued by over production
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
4/5
Black Sabbath
4/5
4.5 almost perfect lost me a little towards the end
Aretha Franklin
3/5
3.5 no denying that Aretha has a great voice but besides “respect” there weren’t any other songs with staying power
Cyndi Lauper
3/5
The 2 hits on this album are great songs. The rest however is not. Half the time she is singing beautifully and then the other half she uses this awful baby voice that is unlistenable
Malcolm McLaren
3/5
3.5 enjoyable album to listen to as a whole. I wouldn’t say any single song stands out on its own but the album as a whole is good
Marilyn Manson
3/5
Removing the art from the artist this was a decent album. Had great energy and a few really good songs. But Mr Manson is a scumbag
Eagles
4/5
Hotel California and life in the fast lane speak for themselves. The rest of the album was just some great easy listening
The Verve
1/5
1.5 Besides bittersweet symphony this album was a snooze fest. Every song was the same tempo with the same lackadaisical feel to them. Every song was entirely way too long with little to no variety. And don’t even get me started on the singer’s awful sheep voice
The Birthday Party
1/5
1.5 welcome to the cock smash
Nick Drake
5/5

3 it was good but far from his best
Nitin Sawhney
2/5
2 this was one weird album. Very repetitive and the songs were way too long
Tracy Chapman
3/5
3.5 loved the lyrics. Great ability to paint a picture of the problems she faces. The instrumentals are ok nothing great
3/5
3.5 the big three hits are great songs but the the only other songs that grabbed me were she’s electric and morning glory
TLC
2/5
2 Really hard album to rate. Waterfalls is a great song and switch and diggin on you are good. Then the rest are boring overly horny repetitive filler. But within the filler there is some really great funky bass lines that get completely overshadowed by how bad the rest of the song is. And then there’s the awful interludes sprinkled through the album. Waterfalls alone isn’t enough to save the album
The Velvet Underground
3/5
3 decent album. Highlights were pale blue eyes and after hours. Most song however were just a little too long
R.E.M.
4/5
4.5 chock full of bangers
Ray Charles
2/5
2 nothing really stuck with me. Was mostly ok crooning lounge-y songs
David Bowie
3/5
3 odd choice for Bowie but I thought most the album was good. Nothing groundbreaking
Les Rythmes Digitales
3/5
3 everyone was hating on this but it was alright. Yes the lyrics were repetitive but at least there was variation in the music
Slipknot
2/5
2 ehh it’s ok. I enjoy some metal but none of the songs stuck out. The drums however were awesome

3 decent 60s pop album

The Doors
4/5
4 really good album with killer keyboards. Sometimes leaned a bit too heavy into the psychedelic side
Electric Light Orchestra
3/5
3.5 some really good songs and musicianship. They could have cut some of the filler songs to make a better album
Sonic Youth
3/5
3 good album with a lot of energy. Just wish there were more/better vocal parts
Elvis Costello
3/5
3 everything was ok. Nothing to hate. Sounded like Wayne
Beatles
5/5
5 perfect album
John Lee Hooker
3/5
3 it was an okay album but too many collaborations detracted from the true feel of the blues. However rockin chair and no substitute brought the classic feel and were great
The Stooges
3/5
3.5 good album. Can definitely see how this album went on to influence punk. High energy and dirty
AC/DC
4/5
4 yeah they all sound the same but it’s still good
MGMT
3/5
3 overly produced and I absolutely hated the vocal effect they used every song. But with all that they still wrote some catchy songs
Elvis Costello
1/5
1.5 ole elvis sure kicked up his annoying voice up a notch on this one. His aggressive vocals sounded like puddle of mudds cover of about a girl. And the rest sounded like a bad Randy Newman knock off
The Allman Brothers Band
4/5
4 excellent blues performances, great guitar work but it sometimes got a little bit too jammy
Otis Redding
4/5
4 phenomenal vocal performance but the album felt kinda one-notey
The Black Keys
3/5
3 mostly an album of ok songs. Very samey sounding and way too much use of that awful over-amplified vocal filter. Unknown brother and sinister kid were the highlights.
Wu-Tang Clan
4/5
4 enjoyed this album
Cream

Richard Thompson
4/5
4 really great folk/country songs. Really enjoyed Linda’s songs
Funkadelic
3/5
3.5 wished it was more funky
Slint
3/5
3 wouldn’t consider anything a song on this album, more like spoken word with dark dissonant backing track. Still worth it to listen to but nothing on the daily playlist
Lucinda Williams
1/5
1 extremely generic and boring. Also hate how she slurs all of her words
The White Stripes
4/5
4 great stripped down album but still has a huge sound
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
3/5
3 there was some great songs sprinkled in and some amazing bluegrass playing but the album was way to long. By the end everything blended together and I got serious fatigue
Rod Stewart
3/5
3.5 liked the country flair of the mandolins and the classical interludes. Maggie Mae is great
Circle Jerks
3/5
3 an enjoyable 15 minutes
The Mamas & The Papas

Elis Regina
4/5
4
Ice Cube
1/5
1.5 I’m sure there’s probably some very important lyrics on this album but as always lyrics don’t mean that much to me. The music matters so much more and it’s awful on this album. Every song is literally a 2 measure beat that loops for the entirety of the song
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
3.5 pretty good reggae
Kate Bush
3/5
3.5 cool experimental songs felt fantastical
Tom Waits
2/5

The Dave Brubeck Quartet
4/5
4 ya like jazz
Eurythmics
2/5
2 the title track is the only good song. New wave just ain’t very good
Michael Jackson
3/5
3.5 funky bass lines killer vocals but most the songs were just good. Expected more from Michael
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
3.5 probably my favorite electronic album so far. It still has the same problem all electronic albums have but to a lesser degree, too much repetition
Eagles
2/5
2.5 kinda boring
Antony and the Johnsons

Spiritualized
2/5
2 not great. Does way too much with any lasting impact. There were cool ideas throughout but that’s all they were. They never really came together
AC/DC
4/5
4 absolute classic rock album. Yeah it’s follows the AC/DC formula but it works. Do however prefer bon’s vocals to Brian’s
The Hives
2/5
2.5 it’s ok. The second half was better when it leaned into more punk sounds but something about them seems off. It’s like arctic monkeys tried making a punk album
Lorde
2/5
2.5 there were a couple of songs that I enjoyed but then there were some real overproduced, over fabricated stinkers
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
1/5
1 please I can’t take any more of this man. The music is already bland and then he goes and sings in the most annoying way possible

Miles Davis
5/5
5 jazz masterpiece
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
3 - I can’t believe it but this album is actually alright. His voice was much more bearable on this album (the annoying voice would still shine through occasionally) and some of the songs were actually interesting for once. Did drop a hard-R tho
Mudhoney
2/5
2.5 it aight
Carole King
3/5

The Jam

3 I like it
Isaac Hayes
2/5
2 kinda groovy at the start and then the album starts to drag. The songs are all entirely too long and even tho they jam packed with instrumentation they somehow feel empty. I wouldn’t consider the music to be bad at all. I just kinda got bored
Johnny Cash
5/5
5 one of the most emotional, reflective, and haunting albums ever. You can feel that this is a man who is about to die and you can feel him reflecting on his life
The Flaming Lips
2/5
2.5 it’s alright. I feel like their goal was to just make cool sounds rather than make good songs
The Incredible String Band
3/5
3 man what a doozy. This album is both amazing and borderline unlistenable at the same time. Each song had points of genius and ten seconds later it would switch to the most comically bad song I’ve ever heard. But I still kinda enjoyed it.
Aerosmith

Derek & The Dominos
2/5
2.5 really besides for Layla and and bell bottom blues there really ain’t much great about the album
Christina Aguilera
2/5
2.5 decent had some good songs and some stinkers. Actually sang instead of doing that annoying baby voice most pop stars do
Sufjan Stevens
2/5
2 the album sounded fine but I just couldn’t wait for it to end. It’s art for arts sake made to fool hipsters

2/5
2.5 fine electronica still to long
The Rolling Stones
2/5
2.5 never really got the hype around the stones. Sure they have some great hits, but I’ve never listened to a whole album so I assumed I was just missing something. This album didn’t do much to change my opinion, in fact it probably hurt more than helped. This album wasn’t bad but it was boring. 90% sounded the exact same throughout and there wasn’t a single song that stood out. How people can say they’re even in the same conversation as the Beatles still blows my mind
