That one song was good tho
Randy Newman · 1 likes
2/5
I might have enjoyed this album more if I was not snowboarding. It was too slow for snowboarding
Kendrick Lamar · 1 likes
5/5
I am not much of a lyrical man but this album gives the feeling of the struggle of inner city cycles via alternatives to lyrics such as gun shots ending songs soon.
I will have to give damn another listen it it won the pullitzer over this album.
The Zutons · 1 likes
2/5
Had some fun alternative riffs with like a spring sound but I can remember one song so not my favorite
Underworld · 1 likes
3/5
I liked the first song a lot so I was hyped but it was the only one on there with that groovy little guitar note hook.

Louis Prima
5/5
Bluesy
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
Honestly not my favorite. Has some classics but overall feels messy and a little more grungy than i would want
Elliott Smith
3/5
Smooth, thoughtful indie rock.
David Bowie
4/5
Techno sad boy
Marvin Gaye
2/5
Forgettable. Sad ass lyrics tho
Radiohead
3/5
Same old radio head, not much my jam. Also did this song have songs off of kid a? That or they sound the same
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
2/5
80s vibe. Seemed more lyrical and I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics
Arcade Fire
2/5
Indie rock vibes, but like didn't stand out to my ear.
Peter Gabriel
4/5
easy to tell this one is from the 80s. I thought it was kinda experimental in its rhythms and instruments.
Funkadelic
5/5
10 minutes of killer guitar to open. Funky and emotional. Power to the pussy
Queen Latifah
3/5
Pretty solid 90s hip hop. Not my favorite genre though so middling review.
Mott The Hoople
4/5
70s rock. Kinda had the vibes of the rocky horror picture show to me. Definitely atleast one shredding guitar part.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
5/5
Made me feel like I was in the bayou. Also I think the ccr singer was born with a voice for 70s rock, it's so iconic.
Turbonegro
3/5
Seemed like some good straightforward punk rock. I would probably like this more some other day. Yesterday was not a punk rock mood.
Carole King
5/5
Groovy classics
Al Green
5/5
did he stay together with this girl? IDK i dont listen very intently, but at a surface level he definitely was spitting some game
GZA
4/5
Classic 90s hip hop/rap. I liked the amount of samples and skits, did not feel it was overpowering.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
5/5
I want you to flyyyyyyyy freeeee biiiiird!!!!
Also these guys have some sick guitar lines
Fatboy Slim
4/5
Early hip hop and dance combo. I liked a few songs but not all. I did like a few of the skits, like the radio call in leading into the next song
George Harrison
3/5
Had like one banger. Generally too slow for my liking
The Icarus Line
4/5
Surprisingly small band to make this list. Seemed like some classic rock/metal with maybe some emo influences in tone and lyrics? Overall a fan!
fIREHOSE
3/5
I liked the funky little guitar lines but otherwise not memorable
Paul Revere & The Raiders
2/5
forgettable 60s
Dire Straits
5/5
R&b and country and rock all rolled up into some tight, groovy ass songs.
Randy Newman
2/5
I might have enjoyed this album more if I was not snowboarding. It was too slow for snowboarding
The Smiths
3/5
Voice like the 80s. Which also means it blended in with all other 80s music for me.
Björk
3/5
Ethereal pop. I listened a full time through and it didn't catch my attention much.
5/5
One song is 20 minutes long. Prog rock meets 80s was a chefs kiss.
Pixies
4/5
Punk meets alt rock. It was pretty good but I think I still prefer punk and alt rock
Gotan Project
4/5
Great work music! I don't think it had any vocals, more of a latin EDM style I would say.
R.E.M.
3/5
3/5
Probably should listen more. Had an ethereal indie pop vibe I would liken to the Beatles, but it wasn't that kinda vibe last night.
Dusty Springfield
4/5
Portishead
4/5
Fun ethereal trap pop. I think they have some catchy drum and bass lines and I like the vocals, they remind me of being in a 1920s speakeasy.
I ended up listening to dummy a bit more instead of third. That one will get 5 stats.
Eagles
5/5
Did they invent alt rock?
The Go-Go's
5/5
80s girly pop. Straight up my alley, I was singing along.
Taylor Swift
4/5
Pivotal 2010s pop album. I think it might experience the Seinfeld effect where it was so important as to become the norm, and now does not sound distinct.
Slayer
5/5
The sound of this album is what I will associate with the genre speed medal. I would qualify it as a defining album of that genre.
The Saints
3/5
Raekwon
3/5
Solid 90s rap but doesn't make my classics list.
Charles Mingus
4/5
Deserves more of an in depth listen
The Auteurs
4/5
Interesting alt rock is how I would describe this. Kinda reminds me of radiohead a bit.
Blur
5/5
Indie pop rock. I have never heard of this band but this album was a jam! After listening, I wonder if one of my other favorite bands (tally hall) drew some inspiration!
Khaled
4/5
Im very glad this album was recommended, I would've never known about ria otherwise. I have no idea what they're saying but the instruments sound great!
Tom Waits
3/5
Tom waits has a beautiful voice but I didn't much enjoy the stand up aspects of this album. There was a lot of crowdwork
Ray Charles
4/5
Eminem
4/5
Has some very good songs and iconic eminem rap parts, but I don't think many of the skits or some songs aged well. In general I'm not a huge fan of skits in albums anyways.
CHIC
5/5
Glad I discovered this album, it feels representative of disco! I wonder if there will be more disco albums chosen or if none compare?
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
4/5
Pleasantly surprised that while this is generic 70s/80s rock, it also slaps.
The Zutons
2/5
Had some fun alternative riffs with like a spring sound but I can remember one song so not my favorite
The Residents
1/5
1970s album that definitely felt ahead if their time. This is the first album I did not finish because i didn't enjoy the first 14 songs.
Gorillaz
5/5
Gorillas pushes all types of genre lines while making fantastic music. More popular virtual act that hatsune miku tho?
Soul II Soul
3/5
I liked one or two songs but otherwise don't remember others. I think this album could grow on me more.
The Cure
4/5
Gothic air
Jean-Michel Jarre
3/5
David Bowie
3/5
The Verve
2/5
That one song was good tho
Black Sabbath
4/5
Obviously war pigs smacks. But I also liked one kf the later songs ln the album, which was an open sound space almost jazz like drum focused song. Cool to see the depth of the band!
Queen
5/5
He's got the range
Deep Purple
4/5
Solid rock but I don't think it stands out from other rock that much
White Denim
5/5
Prince
2/5
David Bowie
2/5
Forgettable
The Triffids
3/5
Herbie Hancock
5/5
This album fused funk like elements into the famed herbie Hancock jazz. I liked the inclusion of what I think are synthesizers? Thus guy has a long career of pushing the genre and I would like to listen to more.
Steely Dan
4/5
I like steely Dan a lot but this isn't my favorite album by them. I listened to this for a while then swapped over to aja
Q-Tip
5/5
90s hip hop with a little bit of soul. I should listen to the lyrics more
Leonard Cohen
2/5
Only not 1 star because one song his voice was fukn raw. Folksy poetry type lyrics, but I struggle to listen to lyrics so I didn't like it much
The Killers
5/5
Has Mr brightside but also the entire album is very good. I like the sound of the vocals, it brings a cohesive feeling theme to the album.
Moby Grape
3/5
Non offensive folk poppy stuff, but not memorable
The Shamen
2/5
Arcade Fire
4/5
I liked the instrumentals of this album, did it have an orchestra? I should revisit this one with more attention
Count Basie & His Orchestra
3/5
The Mothers Of Invention
2/5
A bit too eclectic for my tastes
Elliott Smith
2/5
I just don't listen to lyrics enough to enjoy Elliot Smith
Beck
3/5
King Crimson
3/5
M.I.A.
4/5
Club dance poppy. I also love her voice. I should give this one another listen, might become a 5?
Paul Simon
3/5
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
4/5
I feel that this album represents rock transitioning from blues and folk. I didn't enjoy it much but it could be worth another listen
Metallica
3/5
TV On The Radio
4/5
I liked the bass lines and a capella. Especially the bass a capella
Tim Buckley
3/5
Maybe a 3.5. I enjoyed it but I don't think it stands out from rock of the same era
Jethro Tull
4/5
Metals best known flutist
The Sabres Of Paradise
3/5
Taylor Swift
5/5
I like the folks vibe
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
Wasn't a fan personally. Too much distortion
Joe Ely
4/5
Kinda folky and also swing. I liked it. Made me listen to some Johnny cash
Funkadelic
3/5
I think this was one song, or atleast I couldn't find this album on spotify
New Order
3/5
Alanis Morissette
4/5
I like the emotion in her voice. Some songs are good but some are forgettable enough.
The Flying Burrito Brothers
3/5
Easy country folky songs, but nothing stood out
Skunk Anansie
4/5
I liked the more metal focused songs. Overall I was a fan but this leaned more on the side of just an ok album for me.
Deep Purple
4/5
Digital Underground
3/5
I enjoyed it but also I don't feel that it stood out from 90s sound much. I ended up listening to Tupac after this because I think it's the same vibe but I enjoy it more.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
Heads will roll is a classic but I listened to this album a few times through and can't remember a single other song.
Public Image Ltd.
2/5
I think I don't like post emo and goth music much. This is like third album like this and I'm sure it's genre defining but I didn't like the sound much.
Linkin Park
5/5
Has some fantastic singles but also more range than you immediately think of by linkin park
Muddy Waters
4/5
I like the blues a lot, I'm a sucker for harmonica. I listened to more muddy waters after this and liked some other albums more (getting hard or something)
Van Morrison
5/5
This guy's voice has power and I think the backing band is tight
Kings of Leon
2/5
I listened a little and didn't much like the vocalist but the other parts were good.
Abdullah Ibrahim
3/5
I think this was mostly instrumental and was nice but didn't stand out to me much. Kinda felt like elevator music
Willie Nelson
3/5
Could be a 3.5. Easy going and nice to listen to but not something i would seek out.
Nick Drake
2/5
Very melancholy. If I were a lyric man I would probably like this more but it was too slow and folky for my taste
XTC
4/5
British pop. Kinda ethereal and light, reminds me of tally hall which I like
James Taylor
4/5
I liked the guitar lines, got my head rocking a few times. I could see this rating being higher if I listened more
Queen
4/5
This queen album had more focus on guitar which was cool.
Keith Jarrett
5/5
Allegedly fully improvised piano concert. The skill for that is incredible. There is one reoccurring section of notes (motif?) That feels so familiar I could swear I've heard it before. Doing that while improvising is incredible.
Beck
3/5
Did not catch my attention but also was not hard to listen to
Calexico
3/5
The White Stripes
3/5
Seven nation army saved this album in my eyes. The rest was pretty forgettable.
Django Django
4/5
I liked the synth. Fun alt rock type vibes
R.E.M.
3/5
I want to rate it higher. And I took another day to listen. But it just didn't catch me.
Deee-Lite
3/5
I liked the one song that is extremely popular off this album. I did not like the one about eating chips in her house. Overall kinda groovy and funky but if only 2 songs stand out and one is because i don't like it, I cant rate it very highly.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Metallica
4/5
I may need to listen to this more but I like the concept of metal band meets orchestra
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
I liked this album a lot. I do think it was quite long and could have done better in my review if it were cut down more to the essential songs.
CHVRCHES
4/5
I love the vocalists voice. I also like synthetic pop. A few songs (the singles) I liked a lot but others did not stand out so not a 5.
Stan Getz
4/5
Love a good jazz album. But also this faded to the background for me, so can't be 5 stars.
Blondie
5/5
Gene Clark
4/5
Probably a 3.5. I like the steel guitar and harmonica, but it was a bit too slow style folk for me
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
I liked his voice and it was cool that it was a soundtrack, but because of that I feel the instrumental portions felt out of place from the rest of the album.
Bob Dylan
2/5
Dusty Springfield
3/5
Not unpleasant, would probably go up with a more attentive relisten but it's not my current vibe
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Megadeth
4/5
Could listen more
Miles Davis
5/5
THE jazz album. I also have it on vinyl so today's album was special!
Pixies
3/5
Steve Earle
2/5
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
The xx
5/5
Simple, chill, elegant
Eminem
4/5
The skits make it feel very 90s. Some good songs I hadn't heard here before.
Minor Threat
3/5
Air
3/5
Nina Simone
3/5
Not a bad album buy didn't prefer it over another of hers recommended here.
3/5
Like a 3.5. I liked the titular song but the others never caught my attention.
Venom
2/5
Call it a 2.5. Surprisingly clear lyrics. I'm middling on the assortment of noises in addition to instruments.
U2
3/5
Alice In Chains
4/5
Thought this would be a 5 but didn't catch me. Could maybe listen more and score higher.
Manu Chao
5/5
Got me moving and grooving in a few songs. Also i feel his spanish intonation is good so could be cool to try to study the songs and understand them for learning spanish.
The Roots
3/5
Generally liked but do not foresee myself putting this on again
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Slipknot
2/5
3/5
Most memorable song for me was the Thom Yorke feature mainly for his voice
Beatles
3/5
Honestly probably doesn't break my top 3 favorite Beatles albums.
Beyoncé
4/5
Is this the og bad bitch pop? So horny. Pretty good tho!
Don McLean
2/5
It's got that one song tho
The Pretty Things
3/5
Giant Sand
3/5
Jane's Addiction
4/5
I think this was a really cool rock album with horns, flute, and a general psychedelic vibe. My favorite song was Ted, just admit it
Everything But The Girl
4/5
Throwing Muses
3/5
Fela Kuti
5/5
Grateful Dead
4/5
I like it but idk that I would call it an instant classic. Plus I think the dead is best live (or on their live records)
Talking Heads
3/5
Beastie Boys
2/5
The Rolling Stones
2/5
Odd album because it had some of the best stones songs but also really a lot of songs I would skip.
Incubus
4/5
Good album if looking for some 90s/00s rock. Has some hits. Doesn't beat daughtry tho
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
The only time this album caught my attention was him repeating about her eyes and hair over and over again. Uninspired, not groundbreaking as the spotify artist description declares.
Red Snapper
3/5
Fun and jazzy sometimes but didn't catch my attention
The Smiths
3/5
Whatever genre this is is kinda growing on me by being forced down my throat from the algorithm
The Offspring
4/5
Had some fun grunge and Ska like elements. Not a 5 as there was some songs I didn't care for, like the 10 minute one that goes silent for a while
Cee Lo Green
4/5
Unexpectedly enjoyed this. Ceelo has soul elements but also a few 90s style rap tracks
The Style Council
3/5
I kinda liked it because it was jazzy. But I could see the complaints from the artist description about the artist being a little on the nose with his social complaints in music.
Sepultura
2/5
Not personally for me though I am not a huge metal head. My favorite song was the very sparse soundscape called something to do with canyons. A bit too industrial for my tastes
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
I don't really like this band
Dinosaur Jr.
3/5
Close to a 4 star. I enjoyed a lot of this but it was more raw of an album than I like, though I could see that part being a plus to others. Proto grunge
The Notorious B.I.G.
5/5
A rap classic. You could maybe argue 4 stars because I don't love the skits but his its catchy. He has good flow, and the beats are good too
Fleet Foxes
4/5
Subtle and atmospheric. I could stand to revisit this closer
Tori Amos
4/5
Sad girl pop over piano. Right now my alley
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Soundgarden
5/5
BLACK HOLE SUN
WONT YOU COME
WASH AWAY THE RAIN
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Kinda jam band type vibes but still those catchy stones guitar lines
Tim Buckley
3/5
This one is like a 3.5 for me. I liked some songs and his range of voice is incredible, but over all I think the album was too slow of folk music. K like it a little more up beat
The Lemonheads
3/5
Feels like a sound track to an early 20s coming of age movie
Jimmy Smith
3/5
Deserves more listening. Nonvocal jazz with a focus on I think synth? Could move up for me.
The Flaming Lips
3/5
Experimental indie rock ish
Boston
5/5
Honestly could be a 5. A lot of bangers on here, both vocally and musically like foreplay. Reminds me of steely dan or Fleetwood mac.
Justin Timberlake
3/5
Jefferson Airplane
5/5
Felt like more poppy grateful dead with harmonica. Maybe this will convince miles the grateful dead weren't gods green gift to this earth
Beatles
5/5
Joanna Newsom
3/5
Cream
3/5
Started really strong with the first 2 songs but the rest of the album was forgettable, including some skippable songs
Bee Gees
3/5
Johnny Cash
5/5
Imo one of the best folk/country albums ever
Run-D.M.C.
2/5
Idk that I like this style of 80s music much tbh
Madonna
4/5
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
I am not much of a lyrical man but this album gives the feeling of the struggle of inner city cycles via alternatives to lyrics such as gun shots ending songs soon.
I will have to give damn another listen it it won the pullitzer over this album.
Portishead
4/5
4/5
Has the big symphony song on it
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
3/5
Mixed feelings on this. I think it had some iconic bass lines and catchy hooks but I didn't really enjoy it much. It feels like a goldmine of samples
Elvis Presley
3/5
Could be maybe a 3.5. The album is fine but it doesn't really stand out from other 50s music. I feel like Elvis big innovation of music was sex appeal
Fela Kuti
4/5
I could stand to listen more. Could be a 5. I like this guy, second high rated album.
Aretha Franklin
3/5
Between 3 and 4. I remember the hits and like the soulful vocals.
The Pogues
2/5
Irish folk punk. I would put this more on folk than punk. Not to say it didn't have punk, but the overall vibe of the album was less energy than I expect from just punk. I think lyrics may be important to this band, and I do not typically understand lyrics well until many more listens and more in depth listens so this album was a miss for me.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Mega chill
Haircut 100
2/5
Did not catch my attention
Little Simz
5/5
I like the distortion and horn elements
Sonic Youth
4/5
In terms of preference from me this is probably a 3. I liked some songs, skipped some others. However it's a 4 because i think the sonic youth distortion sound is instrumental in their genre and this album brought it more into the mainstream
Sex Pistols
3/5
Pop punk
Destiny's Child
2/5
Too religious
Van Halen
3/5
Had popular hits on it but honestly didn't care for this album much. It's not bad, and an easy listen, but I don't think I would ever intentionally come back
The War On Drugs
5/5
Is this prog rock? Idk. Chill, atmospheric, easy to listen to. Would revisit.
Blur
4/5
I like blur. Also song 2 has got some grunge to it. Not a 5 though, only a few memorable songs
Dion
2/5
Not noteworthy for me
Marvin Gaye
3/5
Beck
4/5
Reminds me of Manu Chau. Beck kinda fucks in an alternative way
Radiohead
4/5
Weather Report
5/5
Jazzy but also synthy. Spotify description called it Jazzy rock so i believe it.
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
4/5
Quite fun! Not perfect because I think this album shined on its hits for me and had some filler. Definitely better than Elvis tho, this was more exciting 50s.
Roxy Music
3/5
Mid
Green Day
3/5
Surprisingly mid. Good guitar hero music tho
Sonic Youth
4/5
I should listen to all the recommended sonic youth and pick my favorite. I am a fan but I could see it getting old in long format, seems mlre like a singles to Playlist type band for me
Fats Domino
3/5
Couldn't find this on spotify. I listened to the one his most popular songs were on and enjoyed it less than expected tbh
Adele
5/5
Piano, sad girl, strong vocals, milfy at 21. What's more to want? Also damn this album is straight uo half top 10 hits.
The Blue Nile
3/5
Mid. Took a long time to gain popularity because it doesn't stand out. Bass fucks tho
Madness
2/5
Couldn't find on spotify so I listened to a different album but overall didn't like
Jeff Buckley
4/5
Powerful voice
The Doors
3/5
The hits are hits and the rest are forgettable. 1/3 of the album is one song.
Radiohead
3/5
The White Stripes
4/5
The La's
3/5
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Very similar to adeles albums. Laiona says both are sad but this one actually feels sad, which I can agree with in the vocals. I liked it but I can't say I liked all the songs so much to call this a masterpiece.
The Boo Radleys
2/5
Did not enjoy this one
Big Star
2/5
One song was way too much static noise which turned me off the whole album
The Isley Brothers
4/5
I would say this is between a 3 and a 4. The album has 4 interviews which I don't love. The songs are good though, but I'm not sure what is original vs covers
Black Sabbath
3/5
The Velvet Underground
4/5
Ethereal. Reminds me of the beatles
Muddy Waters
5/5
I really like the blues harmonica combo. Would need to listen to the live album again to decide which I like more
Shivkumar Sharma
2/5
I am not against instrumental but this didn't really catch me. Bonus points for the artist using an indian instrument that is not mainstream in western media tho
Tears For Fears
4/5
Led Zeppelin
3/5
I think I liked this more than the last led zeppelin. Could maybe bump to a 4 with more listening
The Doors
3/5
Liked it less than the other doors album
David Bowie
4/5
I liked this more than other David bowie. Honestly if this album were the full instrumental songs it would be a 5 for me.
The Zombies
4/5
Psychadelic brother. I think the compariosn to jefferson airplane in similar artists is apt.
Neil Young
2/5
Brian Wilson
4/5
Soft, ethereal pop. Could even be a 5 on more listens
Stephen Stills
3/5
Seems like he's a lyrics guy
Faust
4/5
I enjoyed this more than i expected based on description. Still some sections that were too experimental noise for me
Deerhunter
3/5
Rufus Wainwright
3/5
This guy kinda sounds like the radio head singer
Ananda Shankar
4/5
Good vibes. Is this like a sitar pop cover album? Probably won't play actively but could be good as just chill background music for hanging out or whatever
Wu-Tang Clan
4/5
has the problem of a lot of 90s rap albums where I think there are too many skits. Love the vision of the group though, a financial collective
Talvin Singh
4/5
Electronic Indian music. Cool album i probably otherwise never would have found!
Ghostface Killah
4/5
His voice reminds me of action Bronson and some of these beats got a nujabes feel.
Solange
4/5
4 stars for the meaning of the album but it wasn't my favorite sonically. Lil wayne got a feature tho
The Gun Club
3/5
Cocteau Twins
4/5
I couldn't tell you a single thing about this album but I did listen to it all day so it's gotta be pretty good
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
2/5
Didn't like the multiple songs of them like setting up
The Teardrop Explodes
4/5
Liverpoolidan
The Black Crowes
4/5
Some good old fashioned rock
Travis
2/5
I think it was like alt rock? Wasn't a vibe
The Streets
3/5
at first it was going to a be a real low review but honestly I kinda vibed with the story even though musically this was bad
Simply Red
5/5
Jazzy synthy pop. Big fan
Bee Gees
3/5
Didnt listen very intently so maybe could be higher but I certainly heard it all
The Stooges
2/5
A little more raw if punk rock than I prefer. I like aggy pops esthetic tho
Cheap Trick
5/5
I think i like live albums and this one was done well
Wilco
3/5
The artist description on Spotify said alt country but I think this album was closer to alt rock. I think i would've enjoyed alt country more.
Belle & Sebastian
4/5
The 13th Floor Elevators
3/5
Background music for me
Ride
4/5
Artist description says shoe gaze. I think this is some of the most consumables shoe gaze I've listened do. I would say it doesn't have that rough polish of someone like sonic youth though
Depeche Mode
4/5
I fuck with dark broody 80s new wave
The Beach Boys
4/5
Might have even liked this more than pet sounds idk
James Brown
2/5
cant say this was a strong live album that caught me, when I usually enjoy live albums

4/5
My favorite van Halen album so far, but I don't think it's a 5 for me
Drive Like Jehu
5/5
Very small band but I really liked this one
The Sugarcubes
4/5
It's like Bjork meets punk or metal rather than indie dance pop. I quite liked it but i could see why the most successful member of this band was bjork her vocals are the most notable part
Dire Straits
5/5
There's one song in here that uses trumpet. I wish i knew the name I'd play that one more.
Im gonna learn to play money for nothing guitar riff as my like 6 month goal. Idk if that's reasonable.
Brian Eno
3/5
Tricky
4/5
The beats on this are fire. This very much reminds me of Portisheads Dummy but instead of ethereal pop vocals it's more rap. I could see this go up to a 5 with more listens.
Fatboy Slim
5/5
Chill vibes beats
The Slits
3/5
Their description said they started with little to no musical experience which I think is kinda inspiring
Joan Armatrading
2/5
Lyrical?
The Velvet Underground
1/5
Thank goodness it's over. Of the 40 minute runtime, 20 percent of it is one song that is just a story. 1 star.
The Louvin Brothers
2/5
Reminds me of the bluegrass family at malakoff diggins. Can't say I will put this one on again. It has the pines as a folk song which is cool, definitely prefer nirvana version tho
The Jesus And Mary Chain
2/5
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
2/5
Genesis
2/5
Machito
3/5
Could go up woth more listens
a-ha
4/5
Opens with a classic and the rest was alright so I'll give it a 4
Kanye West
4/5
I miss the old Kanye
Beats are fire, flow is sick, lyrics are very good. Not a 5 because it has a 13 minute final song of just talking
FKA twigs
3/5
I respect her musical vision and she's really great at singing but surprisingly this sad toned pop album was alright for me
George Jones
3/5
Could see it going to a 4. Since it reminds me of that Joe Ely album i like.
Classic country
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
3/5
Didnt really catch me besides ghe video game type beat on the last song
Lucinda Williams
2/5
808 State
4/5
Techno city
John Lee Hooker
4/5
Bluesy but I don't think a 5. I could stand to listen to more of this guy, especially his collaboration with van Morrison as I like his music a lot too
Lou Reed
3/5
It's got like a smoky bar room type vibe
Ravi Shankar
4/5
He tells me about indian rhythms its cool
Primal Scream
4/5
There were 3 songs j very much enjoyed but the rest was kinda background. Dark house music though cool genre overall would listen again
Bauhaus
3/5
Goth rock forefathers. I thought it was alright, mainly forgettable with some songs that I don't enjoy. No particular standouts after a few listens.
Van Morrison
4/5
Would listen again but no particular bangers
Nirvana
5/5
One of the most well known live albums ever. The guitar is crispy, the vocals have a raw edge. Would listen on repeat

4/5
Don't remember a thing
Finley Quaye
3/5
It was kinda like funk reggae?
Common
3/5

Merle Haggard

The Fall
1/5
It inspired some people and had creative vision but man pretty boring to listen to
Astor Piazzolla
4/5
100 percent instrumental. Great work music imo
Mudhoney

2/5
Idk man felt like he was kinda just talking at me

The Youngbloods
3/5
I did listen but I don’t remember it much so it was probably a 3
Skepta
2/5
Don’t feel anything special from this album and he’s British
His new song with Fred again is a banger tho
The Mothers Of Invention
2/5
It’s pretty funny but hard to listen to because of the harsh noise
+1 star for least being funny
Nightmares On Wax
4/5
May be worth another listen but generally funky jazzy electronic music. Maybe a bit like fat boy slim but less rapping
Japan
4/5
Synthy pop with some funky rhythms would listen again
Fred Neil
3/5
There were parts that were jam bandy and I liked those a lot but overall would I listen to this album again? Probably not
The Doors
3/5
Honestly expected better from the doors
The Young Rascals
3/5
Bland 60s. My grandparents would rate this higher
Carpenters
4/5
Easy going voice and arrangements. I won’t say it’s perfect because it doesn’t bop that hard but it’s definitely good
Saint Etienne
2/5
Between a 2 and a 3 on this. IMO it felt like pretty generic 90s proto edm. There was one song I found maybe annoyingly catchy with a grandma asking a kid about candy
Magazine
3/5
I quite liked the guitar lines on this
Dennis Wilson
4/5
I kinda fuck with his raw vocals as described. I kinda wish they came out more in the album
Also 2 big artists from this list drowning so far? Weird
Pet Shop Boys
4/5
Kinda fun synthy new wave style music
Violent Femmes
5/5
I love the guitar in this album, simple but honest like a nirvana or Johnny cash sound. This guy’s got a kinda whiny Midwest or punk voice.
The Who
4/5
This one is really long. I do like a love album. This also I think is my favorite who album so far
50 Cent
5/5
Club bangers

Didn’t care for it but atleast it wasn’t painful to listen to
Super Furry Animals
3/5
Fun alt rock but it didn’t stand out much for me
The Who
3/5
Like it’s alright but I don’t think it stands out anymore. I think I just don’t like The Who much
The Rolling Stones
5/5
More jam band style than I expected from the stones. Heavy use of harmonica, 5/5
Heaven 17
4/5
I quite liked this synth heavy 80s album

This had the one good song of tainted love but otherwise I couldn’t name a single song

4/5
Fun girly pop but didn’t hit a 5 for me

LTJ Bukem
2/5
Honestly really long background music
Coldplay
3/5
Maybe better in its time but I think they just define generic pop now
Jeff Beck
4/5
This was a little long so didn’t get as many plays but I could see this being a 5. Instrumental focused bluesy guitar with elements of jazz too
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
2/5
2 stars but I bet the live appeal is real
The Black Keys
5/5
Car commercial music. They’ve also got a great blues sound and catchy lyrics
Pentangle
3/5
Mostly instrumental
Nas
5/5
One of the all time great rap albums. Up there with ready to die for me.
Life’s a bitch, and then you die.
Kanye West
5/5
Second favorite Kanye album. Runaway is apparently a sad song? Kinda makes watching this guys spiral really depressing
Yeezy taught me
Steely Dan
4/5
I love steely dan! This one’s got Rikki dont lose this number
The National
4/5
Could even be a 5. I liked their understated vibe

2/5
I don’t remember much but I think it was like punk
3/5
Pretty eclectic, even on the same album. Not disagreeable tho
Everything But The Girl
4/5
Easy electronic listening
5/5
I quite liked this album, and the devolution meaning plus variety of work is gonna bump this up to a 5. The album itself seems to have quite a few covers
Emmylou Harris
3/5
She’s got a nice sounding voice but honestly this album didn’t stand out at all for me.
Aerosmith
5/5
Underworld
3/5
I liked the first song a lot so I was hyped but it was the only one on there with that groovy little guitar note hook.
Throbbing Gristle
1/5
If it wasn’t boring, it was offensive to my ears. Some songs would be recording machine monologues and others screechy unsettling tones. 1 star
CHIC
4/5
I love chic. I don’t think this was as memorable as their first tho
Public Enemy
4/5
I quite liked the 90s hip hop type beat plus the radicalism. The black cnn
TLC
3/5
Waterfalls but not much else tbh
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
Starts off with a banger then falls off. It’s a cool mix of rock and electronic, definite early 90s feel. Reminded me of fatboy slim
Country Joe & The Fish
4/5
I like psychedelic rock. The bluesy guitars on here are cool
The Go-Betweens
4/5
Easy going pop. I’m surprised this band wasn’t more popular tbh
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
3/5
I enjoyed this but I don’t thinks it stands out much
