I'm a fan of swing, but not of pure orchestral, so this is a bit of a toss-up for me.
The xx
3/5

Bruce Springsteen
3/5
Not feeling it, really. Feels weak compared to basically everything else he has composed.
Bob Dylan
4/5
I like it, solid songs.
The Undertones
4/5
I was not loving the start, but the album had a really solid finish.
Derek & The Dominos
4/5
I wasn't expecting much, but this blew me out of the water.
Pere Ubu
3/5
Started good, then industrial noise, then pretty good?
MGMT
4/5
I was familiar with them, but damn, this is good.
3/5
Pleasantly surprised. Solidly interesting from beginning to end.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
That slapped!
Green Day
5/5
That was awesome! Brings back memories.
The Everly Brothers
2/5
MEH!
Leonard Cohen
3/5
Man has an great voice, I'll give him that.
Milton Nascimento
3/5
It seems good, but I can't understand a word.
Bob Dylan
3/5
It may just be the voice, but many of these songs feel like the same song, repeated again and again.
Kate Bush
2/5
Started really strong, then just kinda went... somewhere incomprehensible.
Steve Earle
3/5
That was good.
Pearl Jam
3/5
It was OK, it kinda felt like noise mostly, but decent noise.
Korn
3/5
Very angry, without a huge amount of direction.
Wire
2/5
I honestly didn't notice listening to it.
Alice Cooper
4/5
I considered it OK until the end, that was great.
OutKast
2/5
Not my interest.
Songhoy Blues
2/5
Has some good beats, but not understanding a single word saps any enjoyment I can get from it.
Marty Robbins
4/5
I have listened to this album so much due to Fallout New Vegas. It's not actually amazing, but very good.
Depeche Mode
3/5
Pretty good, but it didn't feel particularly interesting?
Les Rythmes Digitales
5/5
Oh wow, that slaps hard, I can not understand why I haven't heard of this band before?
Bill Evans Trio
3/5
Very nice and soothing.
New Order
3/5
Screaming out of 1989, it's a solid OK.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
3/5
This is pretty good, but why is it a must listen?
Chicago
3/5
Solid, though I feel that it loses a lot of presence on the tail end. The two pure instrumental tracks are unnecessary.
The Good, The Bad & The Queen
3/5
Albarn is very... uninteresting, vocally.
The Velvet Underground
2/5
Felt like a lot of noise, not a lot of song.
Ray Charles
3/5
Fun, not the most amazing. Some great covers though.
The Pretty Things
3/5

4/5
Solid A, enjoyed it a lot, though I don't know if this particular album will be on my repeat list.
Beck
3/5
I was underwhelmed.

4/5
Very long, but very good, I was shocked how much I enjoyed this.
System Of A Down
2/5
Very noise, not super impressed.
Rod Stewart
3/5
It's all very solid.
Dr. Dre
1/5
When the opening song actively drives me away, I can't appreciate the rest of it.
Arrested Development
3/5
The contrast between this and The Chronic is pronounced. I enjoyed it, it has a fun beat, and it wasn't inherently hostile right off the bat.
Steely Dan
4/5
Love me some Steely Dan, though this one doesn't quite have the level of bangers that their other albums have. The later half is solid though.
The Stone Roses
2/5
Felt very bland, not bad though, just kinda elevator music-ish?
Paul Simon
4/5
Solid Paul Simon.
The Roots
2/5
Good, but very much not for me.
Janis Joplin
3/5
It was alright.
Judas Priest
4/5
A+, very good.
A Tribe Called Quest
3/5
I enjoyed it, but it wasn't something I would seek out and listen to again.

2/5
Some of this is decent, good even, but the vast majority is just modern pop drivel.
Sly & The Family Stone
2/5
A lot of noise and not a great amount of substance.
Lana Del Rey
3/5
Enjoyable.
Rush
2/5
I was largely unimpressed by it.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Very good, a classic for a reason.
Femi Kuti
3/5
It's technically good, but I'm not getting much out of it.
LTJ Bukem
2/5
Interesting, but not that interesting.
Duran Duran
3/5
Has some famous songs, but not the best album overall.
Ride
2/5
I have tried to listen to this 3 times, and not be able to finish it at any point. It's only 50-something minutes, but it feels much, much longer.
D'Angelo
3/5
It's Alright.
The Verve
3/5
I wasn't very moved by it, it just was one long series of mouth noises.
Fela Kuti
3/5
Entertaining, more than I was expecting.
Eric Clapton
4/5
Very solid, highly listenable.

4/5
I enjoyed that.

4/5
I can understand easily why this is on here.
Barry Adamson
1/5
Ugh, deliberate unsettling noise isn't pleasant to listen to.
Duke Ellington
4/5
Solid, pure Jazz.
The Cramps
3/5
That was alright, though it ended kinda soft.
James Brown
4/5
Ends on an absolute banger.
Elvis Costello
4/5
I wasn't really going for it off the bat, but it certainly grew on me.
Ali Farka Touré
3/5
Pretty alright, though mostly for the groove.
Miles Davis
2/5
Sort of bland, not really that interesting overall?
Joan Armatrading
3/5
I was pretty good, though it may be the age, but felt rather generic.
Black Sabbath
4/5
Very enjoyable, solid riffs.
Grateful Dead
2/5
There's good stuff here, but I don't think it's better than their actual studio albums.
The Kinks
3/5
I wasn't incredibly impressed, nothing was exciting or very interesting about it.
Antony and the Johnsons
2/5
It's not super interesting, nor does it really do anything particularly new?
Laura Nyro
3/5
I can see why this was impressive for the time, but it doesn't really hit the same way today. That being said, it holds up pretty well.
Pink Floyd
3/5
All the parts that involve singing are decent, all the pure acoustic parts just fly right by me.
Mott The Hoople
3/5
Solid album, very fun.
The Louvin Brothers
4/5
Very good old country, though the amount of crooner in it doesn't do it any favors.
Joni Mitchell
4/5
Damn!
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Wow, that was really good. Her range and depth of both style and form was fantastic.
Rush
3/5
Good, with solid bangers, but the end just kinda fades away...
DJ Shadow
4/5
That was really interesting and I am surprised how much I enjoyed it.
Fiona Apple
3/5
Pretty good, though it felt like a bit of 'generic female singer.'
The KLF
3/5
Interesting, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it.
3/5
Solid, but not amazing.
The Dictators
3/5
I was positive about the sounds, then it didn't really live up to the beginning.
The Beta Band
3/5
Cool art, neat style, not much substance.
Eurythmics
2/5
Solid MEH, wouldn't want to listen to this again, but not bad, just boring.
Cat Stevens
3/5
Short, good, and sweet. A solid album, but I can't say I really know any of his work, nor does it seem particularly amazing?
Sonic Youth
2/5
There was one or two alright songs, but mostly it wasn't particularly interesting.
Elis Regina
2/5
Nah.
Dexys Midnight Runners
2/5
Not particularly interesting.
Beth Orton
2/5
What, how is this good or notable?
Happy Mondays
3/5
That was fine.
Le Tigre
3/5
Pleasantly funky.
Tim Buckley
2/5
Wasn't that amazed by it, rather bland really?
Einstürzende Neubauten
2/5
It's not horrible, but it did give my girlfriend a headache after 6 minutes.
3/5
Pretty fun.
Paul McCartney
2/5
Random acoustic and instrumental sections does not do this any favors.
Dennis Wilson
3/5
Solid, very interesting composition.
Beatles
3/5
Has some classic bangers, but the ending just wrecks it, why would you waste everything on 8 minutes of garbage ambient?
The Youngbloods
3/5
That was fine, not remarkable.
Radiohead
2/5
I tried to listen to this multiple times, it isn't bad, but nothing in it really draws me in or makes me want to listen to it again.
William Orbit
3/5
I surprisingly really liked this. It goes on for way to long, but other than that it it vibes really well.
Emmylou Harris
3/5
Solid country.
The Verve
3/5
It is, in fact, a bittersweet symphony, but that's life.
Missy Elliott
2/5
There was good stuff on this, but it felt very self-congratulatory, to the extent that it really wasn't for me.
American Music Club
3/5
Eh, alright.
X-Ray Spex
3/5
I was not super impressed for most of this, but the end really came together, very solid.
Germs
2/5
Thank gods it's short.
Aerosmith
3/5
It was OK. Not amazed by anything on it though.
SZA
1/5
Good singer, terrible everything else, like wow, is that a let down.
The Slits
3/5
Enjoyed it more than I expected.
Jeru The Damaja
2/5
It's OK, but didn't hold my interest enough to keep listening.
Sonic Youth
3/5
Very eclectic, interesting.
Sugar
4/5
Wow, that was shockingly good.
The United States Of America
3/5
Interesting and eclectic.
The Afghan Whigs
3/5
Pretty good, probably wouldn't listen to it again though.
The Thrills
4/5
That was pretty fun, I'm surprised they are in the 2000's, they feel like a much older era.
Joan Baez
3/5
Enjoyable.
Bauhaus
2/5
That was interesting, though fairly experimental for my tastes.
The Replacements
3/5
Interesting take.
Boston
4/5
An absolute classic for a reason.
John Prine
3/5
I enjoyed it, though it wasn't amazing.
Crosby, Stills & Nash
3/5
Technically good, but not really great in any way.
PJ Harvey
2/5
Meh?! What's significant about this, it sounds kinda like the same song over and over? It's not bad, but nothing about it is good.
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
5/5
Oh wow, we don't really learn anything at all, do we?
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
Solid album, no complaints here.
The Kinks
3/5
Quintessential British invasion.
fIREHOSE
2/5
Meh?
Jamiroquai
3/5
Solid jams
Dusty Springfield
3/5
It was OK.
The Divine Comedy
3/5
Solid songs, but rather strange?
The Avalanches
3/5
Lyrical parts are worlds better than the pure instrumental or synth bits.
4/5
That was surprisingly solid, I had to listen to Greenman a few times it was so good.
The Fall
3/5
That was decent, nothing amazing about it.
Sparks
3/5
I was expecting more? Everything was just average.
Marvin Gaye
4/5
Classic gettin it on song album.

2/5
This isn't bad, but I don't want to listen to it anymore.
Marilyn Manson
2/5
It started OK, then got less good as the album went on.
Taylor Swift
3/5
I wasn't blown away by it, but it was good.

Rufus Wainwright
4/5

3/5
I didn't understand a word, but enjoyed it never the less.

4/5
Very enjoyable, a peppy sound.
Alice Cooper
3/5
Very good, though some of the imagery is very dated, and wasn't great even when it came out.
Dead Kennedys
4/5
Gets darker and darker as it goes along, that Viva Las Vegas is unhinged in the best way.
The Yardbirds
3/5
That was alright.
Malcolm McLaren
3/5
An eclectic mix of styles and genres, it goes hard, and it works for that.
The Pogues
5/5
Fantastic, a bunch of different styles, all great, with some amazing bangers in the mix.
Fleet Foxes
3/5
That was fun, though I don't really know if they do anything particularly unique.
The Temptations
3/5
That was alright, wasn't as good as I was expecting though.
G. Love & Special Sauce
2/5
It was good, though I'm not sure what about it is so great? I don't really ever want to listen to it again, really.
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
It's fun, interesting, and with a variety of styles, though it does kinda drag towards the end, even if the quality stays the same or improves.
Genesis
4/5
That was really good, I enjoyed it. Smooth listening all the way through.
Talking Heads
5/5
Gotta love the talking heads.
Goldfrapp
2/5
Heavily whelmed by this, nothing really good or remarkable about it?
The Residents
2/5
At least it was strange and interesting.
Waylon Jennings
3/5
That was fine. Nothing amazing, some good, soulful notes in it.
Abdullah Ibrahim
4/5
Honestly was not very excited going into this, but that was really good, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.
Joanna Newsom
2/5
Strange, not super great, she doesn't even seem like that great of a singer, and I don't think I would want to listen to it again.
Britney Spears
3/5
While nothing about it other than the time and circumstances in which it was produced is bad, I don't want or feel I need to listen to the entire thing.
Slipknot
3/5
Solid album, though not something I would want to listen to all the time.
Anthrax
3/5
Good, but I found myself less and less interested as the album continued.
Peter Frampton
4/5
Solid jams, this has a lot of classic songs that have become staples of the genre.
Supergrass
3/5
It was pretty good, though it felt like it just kept on going at points.
David Bowie
3/5
I was solidly whelmed by this. It just sounds like a lot of noise, and not even good noise.
Big Star
3/5
Interesting, with a fun style.
The Electric Prunes
2/5
Odd, and not really good.
The Auteurs
2/5
I was wondering if I was missing something about this, but no, there's nothing here. It's not unlistenable, that's the positive I can say of it.
Gang Starr
4/5
I was hesitant to start with, but this was really good, impressive and on point.
Incredible Bongo Band
3/5
Fun, though I wouldn't call it incredible.
N.E.R.D

Surprised how much I enjoyed it, though I don't think I really want to listen to it again.
Rufus Wainwright
3/5
Not as good as the previous album, by far, though still rather good.
Death In Vegas
3/5
It was good, though kinda samey towards the end.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Love Zeppelin channeling the blues, such a great album.
Justin Timberlake
2/5
While there are good songs on this, this does not feel like a Justin Timberlake album so much as a "Everyone we can convince to sing with Timberlake to fill out this" album.
Arcade Fire
2/5
Nothing about it was terrible, but it was just sort of generic modern indie pop.
Morrissey
2/5
Meh.
2/5
Like Bowie, but without any of the heart or interest.
Red Snapper
2/5
Not satisfied at all. Nothing in this is actually interesting, it's just kinda boring, shock value noise.
Sinead O'Connor
2/5
Nothing about this is particularly impressive? It's just a lot, but not a lot of anything.
Elliott Smith
2/5
What am I supposed to... get out of this? It's just boring acoustics where some whiny white guy complains about things in an accent I can't understand. It's mumblerock more than indie.
Billie Holiday
3/5
Solid, though it feels like she could have done so much more than love songs.
R.E.M.
4/5
I really like R.E.M., but this feels like one of there lesser albums. It's good, but nothing really stands out as great.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
3/5
It's good, but feels far to long. It could have used a fair amount of cutting down to just the best, rather than the hour+ slog it is.
The Waterboys
3/5
I liked the mix of styles, but the covers were the worst part, it felt like they just did popular songs and jammed random style into them.
Dinosaur Jr.
3/5
That last song just kinda ruined the entire thing for me. The first part was really good, but that dragged the entire thing down hard.
Pavement
3/5
It was alright, but not particularly remarkable.
2/5
I had to stop listening, it's not pleasant to listen to, nor does it seem particularly Punk, it just seems bad and kinda boring.
Manu Chao
3/5
Didn't understand most of it, but it had a decent rhythm.
Suede
3/5
Not really sure if I'm supposed to 'get' anything from this, because it was mostly fine?
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
It was good, but not to my taste, I think.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
It's good, but I can't help but thinking I'm missing something important in it to really make it hit.
R.E.M.
4/5
Very good, but it feels like there are a bit to many effects, like they were just starting to throw things at the wall.
Cheap Trick
4/5
Very solid, the first live album I've actually liked.
The xx
2/5
Quite a bit to slow and soft for me, it just doesn't have anything that I want to listen to.
Elvis Presley
3/5
Good, but not amazing. I see why he was popular, but it really doesn't hold up today.
King Crimson
1/5
It would be mediocre if there wasn't a 13 minute long instrumental at the very beginning that is nothing but monotonous.
Devendra Banhart
2/5
There's almost something good here, but it is mostly dross and filler.
Ash
3/5
I was momentarily impressed at the start, but ultimately let down.
Tears For Fears
4/5
Very very good, and I really like Tears for Fears, but the non-greats here just drag down everything else ever so slightly. I want to listen to the good songs, not everything.
Maxwell
1/5
Couldn't make it past Somethin' Somethin', I have not encountered anything more trite, something about this feels like nails on a chalkboard.
Youssou N'Dour
2/5
It's OK, I don't understand it, but I didn't hate it.
Ravi Shankar
2/5
It was fine, not a huge fan of pure acoustic.
Madonna
2/5
There are good technical notes, but nothing about this is actually interesting or makes me want to have listened to it.
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
2/5
Bland and not particularly memorable.
Kings of Leon
3/5
It's solid, though nothing really is great about it.
The Cure
3/5
It was OK, not amazing or standout in any particular way, which may be a sign of the times.
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
An aweful lot of noise, with nothing else that would really make this enjoyable to listen to.
The B-52's
3/5
It was fun, though not amazing.
The Doors
4/5
It was good, I liked it, had a number of really solid tracks on it.
Guided By Voices
4/5
I enjoyed listening to that, though there was a lot or random, less than a minute songs.
k.d. lang
4/5
Solid, with some very good songs.
3/5
A very solid album, but the tone drags it down completely. I don't care about some random person mocking the band that they put in their own album.
Sepultura
3/5
I enjoyed it despite the noise, it would have been better without the squeaking.
Throwing Muses
3/5
Overwhelmingly mid
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
Some fantastic songs on this, it has a good solid theme throughout that holds it all together really well.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
I was completely whelmed by that. He has a nice voice, but isn't singing about anything I find interesting, or in a way I find interesting.
Scritti Politti
3/5
Very "of the time" pop, which didn't make it bad, but it certainly wasn't great.
Faith No More
4/5
Really solid, though there are so odd choices that make it less than stellar.
Billy Bragg
2/5
It was Ok, but forgettable.
Peter Gabriel
3/5
It was Ok, I'd listen to this again.
The Isley Brothers
3/5
Some nice groove, though it doesn't really jump out at me as 'good' or amazing in any way.
Missy Elliott
2/5
Meh? It wasn't really anything that interested me.
Fiona Apple
4/5
That was very good, evocative, it told a story that the artist obviously had a significant connection to.
