Iron Maiden
3/5
Day3 - loud and fast. i’ve never been a huge metal guy but if you’re gong to listen to this kind of music it should be good and this is good ps. Iron Maiden should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
The Zombies
4/5
Day4 - i know the zombies by their hits but now i see why this album is considered a classic. the track list is so good going from song to song and the harmonies are amazing. i remember then touring a few years ago and playing the album live and i’m upset i didn’t see them when i had the chance. if you like pet sounds you’ll like this one

Bonnie Raitt
4/5
Day31 - i was just a teen when this album came out it was my first intro to bonnie raitt. i remember liking a couple songs then but now i can appreciate this album and see why it was so loved and awarded and if you’ve never heard her version of angel from montgomery you should now.

Day35 - fun weird album
Badly Drawn Boy

The Cardigans
1/5
Day41 - one good song doesn’t make an album worth listening to.

2/5
Day48 - i was never a fan of the gorillaz but i tried listening with an open mind but other than clint eastwood i couldn’t get into it
The Prodigy
1/5
Day49 - maybe at the club late at night this might be cool but i don’t know who could listen to this on a wednesday

Björk
2/5
Day61 - i can understand why bjork is on the list. her songs and her voice are interesting
Ash
2/5

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
5/5
Day63 - thank you tom petty for leaving us with such great albums
Shuggie Otis
3/5
Day64 - he has a smooth voice
The Who
2/5
Day65 - my generation is a classic song but the rest of the album is a lot of soul and blues covers. i want to give it more stars but i didn’t grow up listening to the who so they aren’t as important to me as the beatles or the stones
Elvis Presley
5/5
Day66 - elvis’ voice and the jordanaires singing backup is a recipe for a great album. such a night is my favorite elvis song
The Incredible String Band
2/5

Day67 - that was weird
The B-52's

Leftfield
1/5
Day71 - so this is terrible. i know everyone has different tastes in music but who’s listening to this at work or in the car ?
James Brown
4/5
Day72 - here he is mr. dynamite, the hardest working man in show business. this is a fun, short album
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Day73 - i only new 2 leonard cohen songs before this and i wasn’t expecting anything so good and so 80’s
Mekons

4/5
Day75 - a really good album with 2 classics
2/5

Lynyrd Skynyrd
5/5
Day78 - this is a great debut album.hearing al kooper’s story about discovering lynerd skynerd and really making southern rock popular is awesome. jacksonville in the 70’s was like seattle in the 90’s

Gram Parsons
5/5
Day83 - i’m glad to see this album on here. truly one that should be heard
Britney Spears
3/5
Day84 - who doesn’t love some pop schmaltz. this album is definitely top heavy, the last couple weren’t great. i just saw britney is in the top 10 all time female singers in album sales so i would think this would be rated higher since most of you own a copy
The War On Drugs
5/5
Day85 - not what i was expecting. sounds a lot like ryan adams to me.this is a good album
Eminem
2/5
Day86 - i wanna like eminem but i think this is such a product of the time it’s hard to listen to.
2Pac
2/5

Radiohead
2/5
Day88 - i think radiohead is one of those bands that you love or hate. i don’t love them
Solomon Burke
4/5

Elastica
3/5
Day90 - I remember connection being a big hit in ‘95 but never listened to the album. better than i expected
Method Man
3/5
Day91 - this is a tough one. method man is great the beat flows well, but it feels long and repetitive
Blondie
4/5
Day92 - a really good album with two monster hits on it.
Adele
2/5
Day93 - i’m not the target audience for adele. her voice is good and i made it through the album but i wouldn’t do it again.
Sufjan Stevens
2/5
Day94 - if avocado toast was an album
Frank Sinatra
4/5
Day95 - sit back with a drink and relax to the smooth sounds of old blue eyes
Deep Purple
4/5
Day96 - there’s a reason they’re in the rock and roll hall of fame. this is a really good rock album more than just smoke on the water
Elliott Smith
5/5
Day97 - discovering great albums like this is what i’m here for.
Common
2/5
Day98 - common and kanye sound really good together. the music and beats are good to bad the lyrics are lame

The Byrds
3/5
Day102 - a good album just not the best album from the byrds
Radiohead
4/5
Day102 - i was ready to judge this one before i listened. i’m not a radiohead fan but this is a good one
Don McLean
5/5
Day103 - american pie and vincent and masterpieces
Muddy Waters
5/5
Day104 - crazy that this came out in 1977 it seems like it’s from a different era. i don’t know how many muddy waters albums are on this list but this is a great one
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Day105 - if you think mick jagger will still be out there trying to be a rock star at age fifty, then you are sadly, sadly mistaken - dennis hope
Otis Redding
5/5
Day106 - i don’t know who’s voice i like better otis redding or sam cooke but i could listen to him all day
Eels
4/5
Day107 - seems like a big debut song from the debut album hurt the band overall. gen-x can’t help but be pulled to this music after getting raised like we were
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
4/5
Day108 - i’m a big fan of first wave on xm radio and i’ve never heard of this group and im a little disappointed.
Black Sabbath
4/5
Day109 - i didn’t think i knew any of these songs but i realized black sabbath is ubiquitous and i hear these songs in tv shows and ringtones

The Roots
2/5
Day111 - does this age well? sounds good but the lyrics lame
Justin Timberlake
4/5
Day112 - really talented, a good debut album with at least 3 classic early 2000’s pop hits. i’m sure they would go back and tone down some of the pharrell slickness if they could
AC/DC
3/5
Day113 - obviously a great rock album i’m just not a big ac/dc guy
Super Furry Animals
3/5
Day114 - better than i thought something called super furry animals would be
Kendrick Lamar

Day115 - funny that this is the second album that has started with “the girl from ipanema” i didn’t know the bossa nova was something you should listen to. it’s really good
Public Enemy
4/5
Day116 - it’s a shame that the same problems that chuck d wrote about 30+ years ago still apply. by the time i got to arizona is a fantastic song
The Darkness
3/5
Day117 - i don’t know if this album belongs on this list but it was a bold album in the early 00’s to try to bring back glam rock.
The White Stripes
3/5
Day118 - i think jack white is really talented and makes cool music
Metallica
4/5
Day119 - one of the best hard rock albums whether your a metallica fan or not. all the people who trash this one are mad this album introduced metallica to the mainstream. on a side note what a bunch of d-bags.
Japan
4/5
Day120 - you can hear their influence on the new wave that was coming
Eagles
4/5
Day121 - if i reviewed this 30 years ago it would be five stars but as good as it is if i never have to hear the eagles again i’ll be happy
Talking Heads
5/5
Day122 - so good that psycho killer isn’t even the best song on the album. uh-oh loves comes to town and don’t worry about the government are amazing.
Moby Grape
4/5
Day123 - probably like a lot of people i’ve never heard of moby grape. i’m sure there’s an interesting history behind this band cause the music is pretty good and i bet they influenced many others
Fairport Convention
4/5
Day124 - electric folk rock right up my alley
Todd Rundgren

Rufus Wainwright

Santana
4/5
Day129 - i kinda was ready not to like this one but it’s pretty freakin good
Aerosmith
4/5
Day130 - walk this way and sweet emotion are classic rock staples for a reason they’re awesome
Ride
2/5
Day131 - shoegaze is a term i’ve never heard. ride sounds like oasis and blur had a baby that tried to be different and it didn’t work
UB40
2/5
Day131 - if you told me this was one long song i wouldn’t be able to argue with you
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
5/5
Day132 - amazing and timeless
Depeche Mode
5/5
Day133 - it’s 1990 mtv is still huge and this album was everywhere. the top 40 was all over the place musically but this felt like something new and it still holds up today
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
4/5
Day134 - they said f it let’s go get weird and i’m here for it and im getting that t-shirt
Pulp
3/5

Beach House
2/5
Day136 - sounds like they should have stopped the list before 2010
American Music Club
3/5
Day137 - why is a must hear album so hers to find? it does sound pretty good, kinda like bruce springsteen and richard thompson
Marvin Gaye
4/5
Day138 - it’s really good but kinda wild i’ve never heard one of these songs before
Yes
3/5

Donald Fagen
2/5
Day140 - steely dan good , donald fagen solo bad
The Flaming Lips
4/5
Day142 - if you just listen to this album and didn’t know the name of the band or the album name it would probably rate higher. the title song is shockingly good
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
Day143 - this is so good and it’s not even in my top five favorite springsteen albums
Kings of Leon
2/5
Day144 - i don’t know much about kings of leon other than their only by the night album but it seems light years better than this mess
Kings of Leon
2/5
Day145 - back to back kings of leon seems like a cruel joke. there’s thousands of artists and these goobers get at least 2 albums on this list
The Offspring
4/5
Day146 - 30 years old and it holds up really well. four really good songs on here
Elton John
5/5
Day147 - madman across the water is one of my favorite songs and levon and tiny dancer are just timeless gems.
Kendrick Lamar
1/5
Day148 - could be a good instrumental album
Frank Zappa
4/5
Day149 - weird is good and this is weird
Guns N' Roses
5/5
Day150 -. you might be tired of these songs but it’s hard to deny how massive this album was/is. sweet child o’mine was a mtv staple and paradise is so good in the “can’t hardly wait” movie
Grizzly Bear
2/5
Day151 - i am always down to get into sad melancholy music but grizzly bear is for a different sad generation
David Bowie
4/5
Day152 - going in blind to this album other than golden years and it’s amazing
Nas
5/5
Day153 - i’m ashamed i never took time to listen to this before now it might be the best 30 year old album i never heard
ZZ Top
4/5
Day154 - i prefer the more bluesy sound of tres hombres but this was a huge album with the iconic car and videos
The Bees
2/5
Day155 - i would rather listen to actual bees
Johnny Cash
5/5
Day156 - the perfect live album
King Crimson
3/5
Day157 - buckle up this is a long album. i have met my flute quota for the rest of the list.
Wilco
5/5
Day158 - great album from beginning to end
Creedence Clearwater Revival
5/5
Day159 - take out that goofy ooby dooby song and this is an album worthy of top 100 or better all time
Hüsker Dü
4/5
Day160 - husker dü is not my favorite band that came out of minnesota in the 1980’s but they sound cool and i enjoyed listening to the whole album
The Killers
4/5
Day161 - mr brightside is such a great song, it’s reached levels of ubiquity that not many songs have before and it’s crazy that all these things that i’ve done is about matt pinfield. this album is still good 20 years later
Talking Heads
4/5
Day162 - i wasn’t familiar with these songs other than take me to the river and it might not be for everyone but those three made unbelievable music together
Lou Reed
4/5
Day163 - don’t do drugs kids but if you do, try and be as cool as lou reed
OutKast
4/5
Day164 - i like these foul-mouthed dudes the lyrics are fun and the beats are so good. honestly it has a hand full of really good songs. so fresh,so clean,ms. jackson and b.o.b stood out to me. put them in the rock and roll hall of fame
Bon Jovi
3/5
Day165 - i won’t let my dislike sway my review. 3 huge songs that everyone knows, but it’s really such over produced pop. albums like this i wish you could give half stars cause 3.5 seems fair
The Temptations
3/5
Day166 - i like the psychedelic soul description i was into cloud nine and runaway child running wild but the rest maybe a little to much of sad sack songs
George Michael
5/5
Day167 - one of my favorite albums ever and it has only gotten better over time
Stevie Wonder
5/5
Day168 - another all time great album and i learned that pastime paradise is the music for gangsta’s paradise which was a fun discovery
Gang Of Four
4/5
Day169 - what a great album i didn’t know anything about gang of four previously and i really enjoyed it
Kanye West
4/5
Day170 -i was prepared to hate this and give it one star but it’s good. much better than either kendrick lamar album i’ve had to listen to
Miles Davis
4/5
Day171 - gimme that cool jazz. i wish i would have got this album on a sunday morning but im glad i got it.
Hugh Masekela
3/5
Day172 - listening to different types of jazz is interesting. this is much different than a miles davis but still good
The Fall
3/5
Day173 - i listened before looking at the reviews and they’re honestly higher than i expected. it’s loud,kind of a mess but fun
3/5
Day174 - i enjoy listening to ray davies voice but most of the kinks songs don’t click with me
Elvis Presley
4/5
Day175 - another cool listen from the king. wearin that loved on look was the highlight for me, the momma and daddy songs not so much
Basement Jaxx
1/5
Day176 - they gotta throw in a turd to make you appreciate the good music
Crosby, Stills & Nash
4/5
Day177 - the first two songs are all time classics and i really enjoyed “long time gone”
3/5
Day178 - makes me wonder how many war albums are in this list cause this one is just ok
Kate Bush
3/5
Day179 - i can’t wrap my ears around kate bush. i’ve read she was ahead of her time and maybe she still is
Ryan Adams
5/5
Day180 - highly enjoyable album and i don’t think it’s his best album. i never get tired of “to be young”
Wilco
4/5
Day181 - listening to whole albums is the best way to take in wilco. i knew a few songs before this list but now after my second album i can see why wilco is on here.
Queen
4/5
Day182 - i’ve always heard this is a classic queen album but other than bohemian rhapsody i didn’t love the rest of it
Beatles
5/5
Day183 - what a great album full of the songs my mom listened to when i was little
The Triffids
2/5
Day184 - i can think of a handful of ‘80s artists that won’t make the list with better albums, but it’s nostalgic and i watched “the secret of my success” and “beverly hills cop” after listening to this
Nick Drake
4/5
Day185 - second nick drake album and i enjoyed this one much more than five leaves left
Joni Mitchell
4/5
Day186 - these real wordy fun story-telling songs that joni mitchell writes are what i love
Cornershop
4/5
Day187 - very enjoyable. what a great album title. there’s 3 or 4 really fun songs on here
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
3/5
Day188 - obviously very musically talented and mozart probably would love them but does ever song have to have a synthesizer solo? extra star for the album concept
The Stooges
4/5
Day189 - album title says it all. rock on
Rahul Dev Burman
3/5
Day190 - i wasn’t expecting a bollywood movie soundtrack but it’s kinda fun and now im gonna try and watch shalimar
Soundgarden
5/5
Day191 - six amazing songs on one album makes it a masterpiece. chris cornell’s will be remembered as one of the greatest front men ever
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
Day192 - one of my all time favorites and i’d say a perfect album
Beck
4/5
Day193 - first of all beck is a genius. sea change is definitely more relaxed than most of his albums but it’s amazing how he can keep re-inventing himself
Jane Weaver
3/5
Day194 - a pleasant sounding albium nothing groundbreaking or special but i liked it
TLC
3/5
Day195 - there’s some good songs but also some really bad over-produced crap. looking back those three had tons of talent unfortunately with lots of drama around them. they should release a stripped down version of this like the beatles did with let it be
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
Day196 - wasn’t familiar with this group but i thought it was a pretty easy album to listen to
Suzanne Vega
4/5
Day197 - a suzanne vega album with none of the three songs i know, but after listening this is a worthy album full of really good songs
The Verve
4/5
Day198 - better than i thought it would be. more like oasis less like blur. weird strategy to start with the biggest song but there are at least three other songs worth hearing
Marvin Gaye
5/5
Day199 - this freakin guy just oozes cool. this a late night album for everyone
Aimee Mann
2/5
Day200 - aimee mann is a name i’ve heard for thirty years or more. i know the critics love her but it isn’t what i would listen to by choice
Run-D.M.C.
4/5
Day201 - classic,nostalgic,influential and just plain fun. it’s like that
Hot Chip
3/5
Day202 - i saw electronica and was ready to hate it but it’s pretty good sort of daft punk meets the pet shop boys
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
Day203 - this album is full of wonderful songs. wait until tomorrow, little wing, castles made of sand and bold as love are going into my library
Ian Dury
2/5
Day204 - if bert from mary poppins got a record deal. i don’t hate it and it was kinda silly to listen to
Stereolab
2/5
Day205 - you can keep your beeps and boops
Sex Pistols
5/5
Day206 - it’s wild that the sex pistols had one album and it’s an all time great
Siouxsie And The Banshees
4/5
Day207 - i love the new wave punk sound of siouxsie and the banshees, missing persons, berlin. i wish i would have been introduced to more of it growing up.
5/5
Day208 - a genius doing genius things
Throbbing Gristle
2/5
Day209 - maybe the best band name i’ve never heard of. It sounds like the revenge of the nerds made an album
Bob Dylan
5/5
Day210 - the word genius is thrown around a lot (by me) but dylan writes these amazing lyrics and thus album is an all time classic
Count Basie & His Orchestra
4/5
Day211 - a big band banger
Derek & The Dominos
5/5
Day212 - judging by the music this is a five star album i try not to judge artists personal lifes but it’s crazy what the last four years did to clapton’s reputation
David Bowie
4/5
Day212 - not my favorite but it’s still bowie and to still be making relevant music after six decades is incredible
The Auteurs
2/5
Day213 - whiny nasally brit pop that i hope im about done with
Jeru The Damaja
2/5
Day214 - maybe because i’ve never heard of this guy but it sounds like craig mac or the wu tang clan and that’s not bad but it’s not original sounding
Sigur Rós
2/5
Day215 - i enjoyed the sound but not really the lyrics
Black Sabbath
5/5
Day216 - it’s good to get an album that i know but not all the songs are familiar and it holds up to the reputation
Cocteau Twins
4/5
Day217 - i’m sorta surprised how much i enjoyed this album. i wasn’t familiar with them and they remind me of siouxsie and the banshees
Supergrass
2/5
Day218 - another day another very average brit pop album. i like “alright” well enough but im not adding any to my playlists
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
Day219 - almost fifty years ago and still just as relevant and it’s very cool
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
3/5
Day220 - gen-x is the coolest most melancholy generation and i love it. this is not bad and i really liked madeleine mary
The Doors
4/5
Day221 - rating great bands that you don’t like is tough. this is obviously a great album but something about the doors never clicked with me
10cc
3/5
Day222 - three stars seems generous for this album. 10cc has three songs i know and none on this album but the mob has spoken and three stars it is
Peter Gabriel
5/5
Day223 - from the videos on mtv to listening to the album just for the music this is a masterpiece
Tom Waits
4/5
Day225 - this was a surprisingly good album. the lyrics are fantastic and the music isn’t overbearing. i put it on and just chilled
The Police
5/5
Day225 - the police are definitely in my top fifteen favorite bands and synchronicity is my favorite by them. this album has six hits that i’ve loved since i was nine
Red Hot Chili Peppers
5/5
Day226 - not many bands get better after fifteen years together but to me this is better than blood sugar sex magik. this album kinda defined their sound since then
Tim Buckley
2/5
Day226 - sounds like this would be the house band in a roadhouse knockoff movie
The xx
2/5
Day227 - generic indie sounds from a forgettable band
Cowboy Junkies
3/5
Day228 - not at all what i thought cowboy junkies would sound like. interesting and different the sweet jane cover was good
Rush
4/5
Day229 - if you thought queen was operatic and over the top you haven’t heard the opening song on this album, twenty minutes of wild lyrics and amazing drums and guitars. this isn’t a rush album i would go back to but they’re definitely pioneers in what they do
Frank Sinatra
4/5
Day230 - i enjoy the hits but it happened in monterey was my favorite. the line”broke somebody’s heart and i fear it was mine” is a good one
Massive Attack
2/5
Day231 - i really liked the other massive attack album i had earlier but this one missed the mark
The Doors
4/5
Day232 - sounds like the doors
The KLF
2/5
Day233 - i tried it. i didn’t like it
Hawkwind
3/5
Day234 - any band that can stay active with some original members for over fifty years is impressive especially if one of those members was lemmy kilmeister. this album is long and loud with a couple songs worth listening to
Saint Etienne
2/5
Day235 - the sounds of early nineties electo dance are kinda fun. only love can break your heart is good
Bill Evans Trio
5/5
Day236- sit back with a drink and enjoy this little nugget. jazz doesn’t go out of style and bill evans trio is going into my jazz favorites
Waylon Jennings
5/5
Day238 - i love waylon jennings and billy joe shaver wrote him a classic. ain’t no god in mexico and black rose are fantastic songs
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Day238 - i liked this album, maybe not as much as chaos factory but proud mary alone makes it great
Black Sabbath
3/5
Day239 - idk every great band doesn’t need every one of their albums on this list, but that’s just like opinion man
The Thrills
2/5
Day242 - this was hard to listen to. it’s like the american version of whiny brit-pop
Dizzee Rascal
3/5
Day243 - beats are good the lyrics are hit and miss
Beatles
5/5
Day244 - i don’t know what’s better the first four songs or the last four. either way this is an amazing album
The Who
3/5
Day245 - do i need a live album of songs that are on studio albums already on this list? i don’t think so
Harry Nilsson
5/5
Day246 - this sound like the beatles but also like it could have been recorded yesterday. there should be a list of best album names cause this would be on it.
Ghostface Killah
4/5
Day247 - sucks to call this classic old school rap but it’s so much better than 2024 rap. forget kendrick lamar give me the wu tang clan in the super bowl halftime show
Beastie Boys
5/5
Day248 - the best beastie boys album. sure doesn’t seem like it’s 35 years old
The United States Of America
2/5
Day249 - what did i just listen to. i can just hear the parents tell kids to turn down this noise
Elis Regina
3/5
Day250 - another enjoyable bossa nova jazz album that im glad i listened to
King Crimson
2/5
Day251 - 1973 was a heck of a year for music with so many great albums from different genres and i thought i liked prog rock but it turns out i only like it a little bit
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Day252 - what a run of success ccr had. this is the third album and maybe not as good as cosmo’s factory this does have three smash hits
Joanna Newsom
2/5
Day253 - apparently big with the indie crowd it sounds like something you would hear if you were visiting castles in westeros
Hole
3/5
Day254 - i gotta say it was better than i remembered. i think billy corgans writing helped
N.W.A.
4/5
Day255 - not many albums had this kind of cultural impact, half the white boys i knew had raiders hats. listening now is rough cause it’s so of it’s time
Killing Joke
4/5
Day256 - not as hardcore as i was expecting and i can definitely hear the influence they had on nine inch nails. this was a nice surprise album
The Crusaders
2/5
Day257 - this is a forgettable album, the jazz sound is pretty good but just seems generic
Thelonious Monk
4/5
Day258 - this is what i would call an essential album
Dire Straits
5/5
Day259 - the first three are iconic but the song brothers in arms is as poetic as any bob dylan song and probably my favorite dire straits song ever
Gil Scott-Heron
4/5
Day260 - music is the best way to get your message to the people so why is this not on apple music?
Ali Farka Touré
4/5
Day261 - i came here hoping to discover albums like this. world music is not something i would normally listen to but this is good stuff
The Notorious B.I.G.
2/5
Day262 - i wasn’t a fan when this came out and in light of all the puff daddy news coming out in 2024 i don’t think this ages well
Mike Ladd
1/5
Day263 - lyrics are corny, the concept doesn’t work and just because you can use samples doesn’t mean you have to
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
3/5
Day264 - a fun album that deserves a drink in your hand
Scott Walker
3/5
Day265 - i don’t know if this is supposed to be serious or not but it’s kind of fun. he sounds like martin short singing jackie
Duran Duran
5/5
Day266 - there isn’t a bad song on this album good job duran duran
Syd Barrett
3/5
Day267 - if you told me this was an early pink floyd album i wouldn’t argue
New York Dolls
5/5
Day268 - the same boomers who fight against the gays and drag queens we’re listening to the dolls and wanting to be as cool as them. put them in the rock and roll hall of fame before they’re all dead.
Bob Dylan
5/5
Day269 - i enjoyed revisiting hwy61, bob is an amazing wordsmith
Metallica
3/5
Day270 - i guess i just like the hits you can have the rest of their songs
Fats Domino
5/5
Day271 - even though i had to find the track list and search for the songs it was worth it
Milton Nascimento
2/5
Day172 - i don’t know if understanding words would make this album better
The Stone Roses
5/5

Day274 - i listened a couple times cause i want to like this but it’s not happening
Kraftwerk
4/5
Day275. - i’m glad they finally got into the rock n roll hall of fame they influenced so many including the rubinoos

Jeff Buckley
4/5
Day278 - more than just hallelujah, i was kinda surprised how good this album was
XTC
4/5
Day279 - kind of an underrated band overshadowed by the big 80’s bands like the cute,rem and the smiths but they have some really good songs
Snoop Dogg
4/5
Day280 - this dude really is everywhere. i could do without all the talking before the songs start but it’s a fun album

5/5
Day284 - call it reggae, punk or rock it’s still awesome
Patti Smith
5/5
Day285 - real raw rock and roll
Joe Ely
3/5
Day286 - maybe in 1978 this was something cool and different,not that it’s bad but it doesn’t seem important now.
Jerry Lee Lewis
5/5
Day286 - jerry lee lewis is early rock and roll royalty and this is fun stuff. if the rock hall went back and threw out every piece of crap artist who lived it would empty the place out so i’ll separate the artist from the person
Aretha Franklin
5/5
Day288 - a true legend and worthy of her queen of soul title
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
Day289 - to have the talent to make an album like this and not turn out silly only nick cave could pull this off

Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Day294 - other than concrete jungle and stir it up i didn’t really care for
Goldfrapp
3/5
Day295 - i read electonic and was ready to hate it but this is more folk and it’s pretty good
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Day296 - the story of superstition being written for jeff beck and taken back by stevie’s management because they knew it would be a hit is crazy and they were right without superstition on this album it wouldn’t be as well viewed
LCD Soundsystem
2/5
Day297 - i can hear the strokes and devo listening to this album but i would rather listen to the strokes and devo
Terence Trent D'Arby
4/5
Day298 - i was surprised how good this one was. he definitely had a prince , stevie wonder thing going but i guess he couldn’t follow this up
Frank Sinatra
5/5

3/5
Day310 - a little of this goes a long way but i’ve always liked dinosaur jr. and their sloppy guitar sound
David Bowie
5/5
Day311 - this is another great bowie album other than the across the universe cover that i didn’t care for
Wu-Tang Clan
5/5
Day312 - i was so into grunge and alternative in 1993 to appreciate how good the wu tang clan was and this one has hit after hit
Pearl Jam
5/5
Day313 - a seminal record in this young man’s life and 33 years later it’s still one of the best top to bottom albums ever

Day314 - i’ve tried a few times over the years to get into sleater-kinney even though they haven’t clicked with me yet ill keep trying
Run-D.M.C.
5/5
Day315 - this is a fantastic rap album with so many hits and the reason they’re in the rock and roll hall of fame

3/5
Day316 - it’s fine, it definitely sounds like a jamiroquai album it doesn’t have the only two songs by him that i know but they all kinda sound the same
Boston
5/5
Day317 - from first to last this a complete rock album. boston should get into the rock and roll hall of fame but it’s too bad brad delp won’t be there when they do, what a voice he had
Talking Heads
5/5
Day318 - i love talking heads and i rated the last album to low but ill make it up on this one
5/5
Day319 - the best oasis album. i can’t wait for the tour next year to see if they can not kill each other

Iron Maiden
4/5

The Rolling Stones
5/5
Day326 - the two massive hits carry this but the rest are still good
Blue Cheer
4/5
Day327 -the first two cover songs were good but i really got into it after “out of focus”. the drumming on this album is excellent. i’ve never heard of them but this seems like a pretty influential album
Herbie Hancock
4/5
Day328 - i didn’t know herbie hancock had such a long career. this is perfectly funky
Björk
3/5
Day329 - a happy bjork is already a melancholy bjork, but a mad scorned bjork is gonna tear someone apart
SAULT
2/5
Day330 - monaters is a good one
The White Stripes
3/5
Day332 - this doesn’t really change my opinion of the white stripes, i like them when i hear them but i don’t go out of my way to do it
Mudhoney
5/5
Day333 - a candidate for best album title and it’s an awesome album
Thin Lizzy
5/5
Day334 - one of the best live albums i’ve ever heard. i love phil lynott’s voice. there’s been talk of putting them in the rock and roll hall of fame and im all for it. and one more thing, a young huey lewis plays harmonica on this album
k.d. lang
5/5
Day335 - i guess this is mostly a covers album but what a voice she has.
Van Halen
5/5
Day336 - van halen had some all time great albums maybe none better than this one
Leonard Cohen
2/5
Day337 - i think one leonard cohen album was enough

2/5
Day343 - i don’t get the praise jethro tull gets their whole sound always irritated me
Ute Lemper
2/5
Day344 - if bjork and barbara streisand had a dramatic baby who was over the patriarchy. it’s funny that nick cave,tom waits and elvis costello wrote songs for this
Cyndi Lauper
5/5
Day345 - an icon. the first six songs are amazing, she’ll be in the rock and roll hall of fame in 2025 and it will be long overdue
Joy Division
3/5
Day346 - i believe joy division/new order is an influential band and they have some pretty good songs but they might even be to depressing for me
Everything But The Girl
3/5
Day347 - i listened. i didn’t hate it but i feel like there was a handful of these ‘80’s-‘90’s groups that sounded like this. and once again this band had one big hit and it’s not even on the album. grrrr
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
Day348 - i didn’t like this in the ‘90’s and won’t start now
4/5
Day349 - maybe i didn’t need another bob dylan album. especially a live one but it does have “visions of johanna” my favorite dylan song
Beck
5/5
Day350 - i remember buying this and loving it and now revisiting it really brings it back
The Who
3/5
Day351 - unarguably genius but i’d argue annoying
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
Day352 - neil young has at least four albums that i think are amazing and this isn’t one of them. not that it’s bad but it’s a sign of apparently way more neil young to come

5/5
Day353 - i came for the three hits and really liked the rest of them
Tracy Chapman

Mylo
1/5
Day359 - there’s 58 minutes i’ll never get back
Prince
5/5
Day360 - his purple greatness. just a great album from top to bottom
Day361 - i was surprised how many of these songs i knew. i like u2 but not necessarily one of my favorites but this is a solid album
Sheryl Crow
5/5
Day362 - any album with four songs that everyone knows is obviously a classic
The Kinks
2/5
Day363 - seemed longer than it was and was kind of a chore. the crazy thing is that this is definitely someone’s favorite album
U2
4/5
Day364 - say what you want about u2 but there’s only a handful of bands that have made arguably great music for over forty years and this was the beginning
Super Furry Animals

4/5
Day371 - my level of appreciation for neil young is what it is , i can’t be swayed anymore

Crowded House
5/5

Day374 - what a career paul mccartney has had,these songs still get played and still resonate with younger generations
Turbonegro
3/5
Day375 - i’m glad that there’s albums from different genres and from different countries cause i wouldn’t have ever listened to this and it was fun

Day381 - i’m becoming a pixies fan
Sugar

The Kinks
4/5
Day391 - i had to listen twice. at first i thought it was corny and simple but i think i quite liked it
The Kinks
4/5
Day392 - seems unlikely to get back to back kinks albums but alas. they seem like a better band from the 1966 album to this 1968 album.
Brian Eno
4/5
Day393 - im not sure this belongs on the list even though its good and i’ve had it on all morning and i’ll probably listen again
Fred Neil
3/5
Day394 - you wonder why some make it and some don’t. dude writes his own songs and then they only get popular when someone else covers them. he even kinda sounds like merle haggard

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5

5/5
Day399 - this one is on the top hundred albums of all time so yeah you need to hear it
Beatles
5/5
Day400 - a milestone album on a milestone day
Pere Ubu
3/5
Day401 - i’ve never heard of pere ubu and i didn’t know what to expect but maybe they weren’t the best you can tell they are influencing better bands to come
Neneh Cherry
2/5
Day402 - not really important or influential really just a late 80’s pop album and you could find a dozen that sound the same
R.E.M.
5/5
Day403 - their fifth studio album and maybe their sixth best album but it’s still amazing
Ray Charles
4/5
Day404 - there’s not enough big band jazzy albums on here so it’s a treat to hear ray charles
CHIC

Can

Faust
2/5
Day408 - more experimental german rock and i don’t think i can take anymore
Grant Lee Buffalo
4/5
Day409 - with a name like grant lee buffalo how can it not be cool. listening thirty-two years after its release is seems like it should have had a bigger audience. his sound is similar to the band the waterboys
CHIC
2/5
Day410 - i have nothing but respect for nile rodgers but this is goofy and pretty corny
Suede
3/5
Day411 - i didn’t particularly like the other album by suede but this one was pretty good
The The
4/5
Day412 - is it new wave?industrial? it’s weird and all over the place. i like it
The Beach Boys
4/5
Day413 - if you made a list of great american bands the beach boys would be at or close to the top. we all know their sound evolved to what it would be with pet sounds but the harmonies were always there and this us help me rhonda
Queens of the Stone Age
4/5
Day414 - not the album from them i expected but it’s fun,kinda gross and it rocks
Bert Jansch
2/5

Wire
4/5
Day416 - this is what i want from my punk music
Heaven 17
4/5
Day417 - we need new wave again more than ever. synthesizers and lyrics that rage against the corruption and the fascists
Destiny's Child
3/5
Day418- who knows how people will judge this in fifty years but it’s better than some albums i’ve heard on this list
Brian Eno
2/5
Day419 - i guess sometimes when you put two geniuses in a room it’s this mess and not abbey road
Soft Machine
3/5

Bauhaus
3/5
Day422 - i feel like you need to be in a certain state of mind to appreciate this and i’m not in it
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
4/5
Day423 - i started hearing about john mayall when he was nominated for the rock and roll hall of fame and it’s crazy how influential he was. hearing the blues from british white guys is kinda crazy though
TV On The Radio
2/5
Day424 - i guess it’s fine. their moms and girlfriends are probably the only ones demanding tv on the radio gets two albums on this list
Joy Division
3/5
Day425 - i don’t really love the music, but I think they’re cool. i hope this is the year that joy division/ new order get into the rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame

Femi Kuti
4/5
Day427 - driving with the window down. what a good vibe

Day428 - it sounds like a live album and the lyrics are wonderful. it doesn’t have the hits of moondance but somehow it’s just as good
Suicide

Astrud Gilberto
4/5
Day430 - i can’t wait to pull this one out on the beach this summer
Hookworms
3/5
Day431 - right out of the gate i was thinking what is this? it got better quickly and i ended up enjoying it
John Martyn
3/5
Day432 - i was surprised it was from 1973. i thought it was good background music
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

The Pharcyde
4/5
Day434 - this is my favorite style of rap. jazzy and fun.
Brian Eno
1/5
Day435 - this is the first time an album has made me mad. it’s going straight to the never listen to again pile

Buzzcocks
4/5
Day446 - i’m really getting a punk music education and this is good stuff
Franz Ferdinand
3/5
Day447 - i can hear how this could be your favorite band if you were a teenager in the 2000’s. take me out is a good song but overall frank ferdinand sounds like five other bands to me
Sonic Youth
4/5
Day448 - it’s probably the gen-x in me but it’s hard not to think sonic youth is cool as hell
The Louvin Brothers
5/5
Day449 - it’s gangster rap, it’s grunge, it’s awesome.
Neil Young
4/5
Day450 - a top five neil young album for me
The Flaming Lips
5/5
Day451 - this might be the most shocking album from a band i’ve heard. i associate the flaming lips with “she don’t use jelly” but this is so different lyrically and musically
Small Faces
2/5
Day452 - i’m getting a bit worn out on all these weird sixties british rock albums. i like what came out of the small faces just not them together

Jane's Addiction
5/5
Day460 - from the first line i was hooked. put them in the rock and roll hall of fame
Tom Tom Club
3/5
Day461 - everyone knows genius of love cause it’s great but i can’t say that for the rest
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
Day462 - if you told me there would be two dexy midnight runner albums on this list and neither had come on eileen i’d say you are crazy. this is recorded like a live album which makes it interesting. they’re really talented, maybe they shouldn’t have got tagged as a one hit wonder
Boards of Canada
1/5
Day463 - ok who snuck this turd on the list?
Scissor Sisters
3/5
Day464 - the comfortably numb remake was fun and different

Madonna
3/5
Day468 - ray of light is a good fun song. the rest of the album is kinda weak
Elvis Costello
4/5

The Who
5/5
Day470 - iconic album with an iconic album cover

Day480 - lots of people probably enjoy this and maybe in a club it’s fine. listening in the car going to work it gave me a headache.
Fleet Foxes
2/5
Day481 - this is literally music that doesn’t offend anybody. when my youngest was in elementary school they did white winter hymnal in music class. boring at best
Lambchop

The Replacements
5/5
Day487 - the replacements were confident enough to name their album let it be and cool enough to make it awesome
Pink Floyd
3/5
Day488 - i like the thought of liking this album. if this lead to what they would do then it’s worth it
Happy Mondays
5/5
Day489 - normally anything with electronica in the description turns me off but this was a great. everything seemed to blend perfectly
Bad Company
5/5
Day490 - a classic rock staple. paul rogers has one of the best voices. im happy they were inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame its to bad they’re all to old to perform
4/5
Day491 - this is the country music that appeals to me. silly, pun-y lyrics with great talent in the whole band from loretta to the jordanaires
Blood, Sweat & Tears
4/5
Day492 - i was surprised of the range of this album. i really enjoyed listening
Bob Dylan
3/5

3/5

5/5
Day504 - one of my all-time favorites. rip mca

Day505 - drink hard, love hard and cry about it and don’t take any shit from the man. this is real country music
Michael Kiwanuka
3/5
Day506 - he has a smooth voice but this isn’t the album of his i would choose for this list
Rod Stewart
4/5
Day507 - rod stewart and his unique voice kept my attention all the way through
Venom
2/5
Day508 - i’m not a death metal fan by any means but i wonder what the reaction was forty years ago. listening now and reading the lyrics it sounds silly
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
4/5
Day509 - i wasn’t expecting straight up blues then r&b from the captain. all in all i really enjoyed it
Isaac Hayes
3/5
Day510 - iconic opening and then an average instrumental album after

Sam Cooke
5/5
Day513 - this could have been longer and i still wouldn’t have gotten enough

Radiohead
2/5
Day522 - no need for anymore radiohead albim. i’ve had enough
Electric Light Orchestra
5/5
Day523 - if your complaint is that too many of the songs sound the same then you’re probably right but anything with mr. blue sky is awesome

Robert Wyatt
3/5

Deerhunter
2/5

Pavement
2/5
Day529 - i guess one pavement album wasn’t enough
Paul Simon
5/5
Day530 - this is one of my favorites. paul simon was at the top of his game with some help from amazing background singers like the every brothers and los lobos
Christina Aguilera
3/5
Day531 - her voice is better than most and the songs aren’t bad just overproduced. my wife would probably rate it better, but alas
Sonic Youth
5/5
Day532 - the longer i listened the more i liked it. this is the second sonic youth album and i kind of get the hype now
The Soft Boys
3/5
Day533 - there’s probably an interesting story behind a band that makes an arguably great album and then breaks up
Lenny Kravitz

Morrissey
2/5
Day535 - this man has a lot of feelings

George Jones
4/5
Day538 - he took the church hymns and added in some lovin,cheatin and drinking
Jefferson Airplane
4/5
Day539 - two all time smash hits and you probably have to be on drugs for the rest of them
Joan Baez
3/5
Day540 - this sounds a hundred years old. it’s crazy how popular and mainstream she was with such a simple sound
Rage Against The Machine
2/5
Day541 - i’m a big fan of tom morello for his musicianship and his political views but rage is a band that i couldn’t/can’t get into
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
2/5
Day542 - i’ll give him credit for quantity, he has over 200 albums on itunes,but not this one.
The Hives

Talvin Singh
2/5
Day546 - as far as background music goes it’s fine
Lauryn Hill

5/5

Day565 - i finally get the rufus wainwright hype. really good album
Marvin Gaye
5/5
Day566 - does it get much better than this? i don’t think so

AC/DC
3/5
Day568 - not a band i’m a big fan of but no denying their impact on rock and those three hits are classic rock staples
Steely Dan
3/5
Day569 - other than my old school i just couldn’t get into the songs. i love the instruments and the sound just not lyrics
John Coltrane
2/5
Day570 - not enough good to make up for the bad
Frank Black
5/5
Day571 - i was into this right away. if i’ve learned anything from this project it’s that the pixies and black francis/frank black are amazing and should be in the rock and roll hall of fame
Fugees
3/5
Day572 - when your biggest hits are cover songs maybe your a cover band. i’m kind of kidding but as big as this album was their shelf life was short

Sparks
2/5

2/5
Day579 - over produced lame pop. this isn’t even in the same league as prime oasis

Willie Nelson
5/5

808 State
1/5
Day583 - sometimes you find unexpected treasures and sometimes you find a pile of dog poo. this is the latter.

Cheap Trick
4/5
Day588 - i’m a fan of live albums and this is a good one. the beastie boys are the coolest for sampling the opening to surrender on check your head
The Jam
4/5
