All Ratings

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

1/5

I couldn't listen to it because she removed her music from Spotify.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

Some of the songs are pop classics, and for good reason. Some probably shouldn't have ended up on this (or any) album. On the whole, it is a seminal album which foreshadows the great works to come by him.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

He created a unique and to this day easily identifiable sound. There was no one like Hendrix.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

I had never heard of this band. I enjoyed this album so much that I went on to listen to most of their albums. I just wish the singer wasn't trying so hard to sound like Dylan, of all people.

Debut

Björk

1/5

I enjoyed the instruments, but her voice is like listening to someone else's kid incessantly whining.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

1/5

For a variety of reasons, this style of country does not work for me. I tried and couldn't finish a single song. This is not a reflection of this album, but the entire genre.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

5/5

This feels like a mix between hip-hop and jazz, and I loved it. I listened to this album a couple of times, and then let Spotify keep going with similar music, but I heard nothing like this artist. It's great.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Guero

Beck

3/5

I'd previously never really listened to Beck, and it is interesting and good, but not really my style. I didn't finish the album.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

I'm not in a mood to fully enjoy this genre of music, but I can appreciate it nonetheless. The lush sound is enjoyable. The dissidence is just about right for grunge. I look forward to enjoying this album/band when I'm in the right mood.

Tago Mago

Can

2/5

Did not care for at all. Hollow and simple.

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

2/5

I'd never heard of this band, and never intentionally listened to this sub-genre of rock. I am fine not listening to it again, but it was less annoying that I initially expected. I was surprised that after the album was over, and Spotify continued with this sub-genre, I actually enjoyed some of the music.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

1/5

Did not care for this in anyway. Couldn't finish a song.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

I really enjoyed this album, but when it ended and Spotify expanded to similar stuff, I fell in love with this sound.

The Clash

3/5

For early punk, it's impressive. Yet, it is not something that I enjoy listening to.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

1/5

I have no idea if this is good rap because I think rap is spelled with a silent C, yet it seems far better musically than much of the crap that I've heard.

Shadowland

k.d. lang

4/5

I have been a fan for many, many years, but I hadn't heard this album. As her first pop album, it was interesting to hear where some of her signature sounds came from.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2/5

I generally like their music, but their sound had not been developed to that stage on most of these songs.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

2/5

I hadn't listened to Monk in a very long time. It's been decades since I've carefully listened to old school jazz. It was enjoyable, but I don't think I want it to become regular again.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

2/5

It is only the familiarity of these songs which would cause me to listen to them. I have, and will, never listen to these songs because I like them.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

How much I enjoy Led Zep is very dependent on my mood. I listened on a day I was open to their sound, and I could hear and appreciate how it was developing.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

1/5

I have never enjoyed anything about Dylan. I'm at a complete loss as to why anyone wants to intentionally listen to him. His voice is like gravel scraping the bottom of a dirty pot.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Apart from some bigoted lyrics, the music has held up well. The guitars (including bass) have always been quite enjoyable to me.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

2/5

Because of what I've heard about Coltrane, I was expecting a lot. He just doesn't work for me. It's not bad music, it just doesn't ... for me.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

1/5

One of the most irritating albums that I've ever heard. I haven't a clue how this album made this list. It's far more strange sounds than anything musical. I would prefer listening to fingernails on a chalkboard.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

It's a strange mix of many genre sounds. Not sure hoe much I enjoy it, but it' well done musically.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

2/5

Apart from the hits, I don't care to hear these songs again. Even the hits, I could go without ever hearing them again and not notice.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Classic Beatles sound as they evolved to their next phase. And they are some of my favorite Beatles tunes.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

5/5

I loved this album when it came out, and I still do. Fun with a good dose of encouraging good social moral behavior.

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

3/5

Despite hearing of them for many decades, I had not listened to the Yardbirds before this. This album is full of the sounds which came to represent the sound.

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

3/5

Marquee Moon

Television

2/5

I don't care for this at all.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima
