Elis Regina
5/5
Don’t speak the language, but enjoyed it tremendously, would go back and listen again with better headphones.

Run-D.M.C.
3/5
Not normally a rap listener, and cringe at most modern rap, but actually enjoyed most of this, feels like people with actual talent made it
The White Stripes
3/5
Chaotic is first impression. Not a huge White Stripes fan, but not a terrible album.
The Doors
4/5
Frank Ocean
2/5
Not my cup of tee, feels artificial with the singing
Dire Straits
5/5
Was familiar with one song on here, and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the album. The vocals stood out as being well mixed, they were clearly in front of the instruments and not lost in them.
Pretenders
4/5
Janis Joplin
3/5
Wilco
1/5
Chaotic, noisy, and pretentious. Not a fan of musicians who use screeching and crackling noises to try seem edgy, will probably never listen to this album again.
Duran Duran
4/5
Neil Young
4/5
Dire Straits
5/5
Fantastic album, throughly enjoyed from cover to cover
Cocteau Twins
3/5
Fluffy and ethereal, makes sense why they were called one of the original dream pop bands
Jethro Tull
3/5
Classic rock with a piccolo I guess?
The Charlatans
3/5
Solid, turn of the century pop.
The Clash
3/5
Youssou N'Dour
4/5
Bright, enjoyable even though I don’t know the language.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Not normally my style, but enjoyed it a good deal
Depeche Mode
3/5
Interesting, not sure I’ll ever go back to it but worth listening to it once.
Elliott Smith
3/5
U2
4/5
Older U2 is best U2
The Who

The Verve

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
1/5
Dr. John
1/5
In a way I’m glad this monstrosity exists, because if I ever have kids I can play this for them and explain it’s what happens when you do drugs to make them never want to do drugs ever.
John Martyn
2/5
Arcade Fire
3/5
Good, but not the best Arcade Fire I’ve heard.
Eric Clapton
5/5
Superb album, wonderful guitar work throughout.
UB40
2/5
Okay, but nothing great
DJ Shadow
3/5
Did not expect to like it, was actually surprisingly decent.
Radiohead
3/5
Good, not best Radiohead, but still good Radiohead.
Iggy Pop
3/5
Never heard an Iggy Pop before, not what I expected, but not too bad.
Sonic Youth
2/5
Was okay, but felt repetitive after a bit since a lot of songs sounded so similar.
Goldie
3/5
Good atmospheric feel, would’ve jammed it a bunch back in college for study music if I was aware of it back then.
Nas
2/5
Not the best rap I’ve ever heard, but still markedly better than most modern rap.
Kraftwerk
4/5
Hadn’t heard Kraftwerk before, but quite enjoyed it.
The B-52's
4/5
The KLF
4/5
Had no clue what to expect, but ended up loving the album.
Sex Pistols
3/5
Solid album, close to a 4 but not quite enough.
AC/DC
5/5
Fantastic album
Otis Redding
4/5
Dion
4/5
The Allman Brothers Band
4/5
Live albums can be so hit or miss depending on the quality of the recording work, but this one sounds fantastic, and while the songs definitely can get on the longer side the Allman Brothers are always quite good.
Deep Purple
4/5
Have listened to this at least once before if I remember right, but the bass playing really jumped out at me this time.
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
Had only a passing exposure to Hendrix previously, and didn’t expect to car for it that much, but surprisingly it actually caught my attention.
Nick Drake

Not bad, but nothing exciting

Was a pretty solid album until the last song, proof that one bad song can spoil an album, and also shows once again that vegans ruin everything.

Paul Simon

Radiohead

Talking Heads

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
3/5
Musically amazing, lyrically weird.
Snoop Dogg
3/5
Filth, but filth made by skill compared to modern rap
Linkin Park
4/5
Funkadelic
3/5
Funky, but would have been better if it was more concise, most songs felt like they rambled on too long.
The Slits
3/5
Interesting, would give it a 3.5 if I could, but it’s not quite enough for a 4
Led Zeppelin

Lucinda Williams
4/5
Ella Fitzgerald

Soundgarden

5/5
Dagmar Krause
4/5
Wasn’t sure what to expect of an album that was almost impossible to find, and that had a lot of 1 star reviews, but it was markedly better than expected. Krause has a wonderful voice, and the whole album has a haunting beauty to it.
Beatles
3/5
Biggest complaint about the album is the mixing, when the vocals are in just one ear for a good portion of the time it gets hard to listen to, would easily be 4 stars otherwise.
The Isley Brothers
4/5
Garbage
4/5
Incubus
3/5
Not the best album in the world, but not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Recognized “Drive”, and honestly having never heard the rest before it was an enjoyable listen, and something I could actually see myself going back to at some point, a good 3.5 out of 5.
Judas Priest
4/5
Steve Winwood
5/5
Very 80’s, but an absolutely delightful listen.
ABBA
5/5
The Beach Boys
4/5
The Afghan Whigs
2/5
This album was just there, only a day after listening I can’t really remember anything about it, nothing about it was memorable. It wasn’t a bad album, but it also wasn’t good enough to be remembered.
Coldcut
4/5
Never would’ve heard this album without 1001 Albums, and now if I ever come across a copy I’ll be snatching it up because it was quite an enjoyable listen.
Björk
2/5
Interesting concept, and there’s a few songs that were enjoyable, but overall most of it just felt weird.
Tears For Fears
4/5
Stan Getz
4/5
Elastica
3/5
Sort of sounds like an edgier Go-Go’s without the crisp harmonies, not bad but not super memorable.
Paul McCartney and Wings
4/5
Venom
2/5
Could hear the makings of modern metal in it, but just wasn’t anything special otherwise.
Beatles
4/5
Prince
3/5
Taylor Swift
2/5
What you get when the angsty teen who breaks up with everyone and wonders why nobody likes her watches one 10 minute philosophy video on YouTube and thinks she’s deep and mysterious. Overproduced, but that at least keeps it from going down to 1 star.

If you want to be edgy and subversive it helps if your music actually sounds good.
