3/5
It was good. I’d listen to it again but probably wouldn’t seek it out.
Pet Shop Boys · 3 likes
1/5
Really didn’t like this.
Marty Robbins · 2 likes
1/5
This album was just plain boring. Simple guitar strums with stories put to simple melodies. I wish I knew what made this an album that I needed to listen to.
The xx · 1 likes
1/5
Terribly boring
Fairport Convention · 1 likes
4/5
This one made me think of my mom the whole time. Never heard it before but it’s exactly what she likes. I enjoyed it. Beautiful voice and nice harmonies.

Björk
2/5
First song, Human Behaviour was good. Overall, the album is a little too '90's pop for me. Good techno beats that had me bobbing my head and enjoying though. As the album went on, it got old and repetitive. I'll rate this 2-stars. Didn't hate it, but wouldn't choose to listen to it.
The Clash
4/5
Great album and definitely iconic. I’ll rate this 4 stars because I enjoy the album, and would definitely put on from time to time, but not a favorite. Good album construction with amazing opening and closing tracks. Their sound gets a little stale about ⅔ of the way in.
Louis Prima
4/5
Great album! A lot of fun to listen to and will certainly be putting on to make dinner. I’ve already shared it with a few people. Pleasant surprise. 4 stars
The Doors
3/5
Great album. Good composition. Going between 3-4 stars. Will land on 3 stars because I don’t know that I’ll seek the album out, but would enjoy when it’s on.
Jimi Hendrix
2/5
Not my thing. A bit to electric jam band for me.
The Stooges
1/5
Not my thing. A bit to electric jam band for me.
3/5
Easy rating here. 3-star.
Good album. I can see why this is a legendary album. But it’s not something I’d seek out.
William Orbit
1/5
Did not like this.
Chicago
5/5
Loved this album! Shared with a bunch of people and added songs to playlists. Will seek this out to listen to again.
Booker T. & The MG's
3/5
Great instrumental album to listen to while making dinner or to have on in the background
Lou Reed
3/5
Good album. Not much my thing but some great individual songs
The Smiths
2/5
Was ok but nothing special. Wouldn’t turn off but also wouldn’t look for it.
The Go-Go's
2/5
Didn’t really care for. It’s fine but not for me.
Kings of Leon
3/5
Not a bad album. Some fun songs. Enjoyed listening but won’t seek it out.
Heaven 17
2/5
Definitely “80’s alternative”. Listened to the entire album and it never spoke to me. A bit to German electric rock for me. Would never put this on myself.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
2/5
Album was very “meh”. Not bad but nothing special
Portishead
2/5
Another meh album. This sounded a bit like Fiona Apple, but not as good.
Manu Chao
1/5
This is definitely not my style of music. I could tell it was well put together, but it’s not for me.
Jane Weaver
1/5
Did not like this one. Ended up skipping a number of the songs.
Public Enemy
3/5
Good album. Not what I’ll seek out though.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
3/5
Decent, fun album. Had never heard of this band before nor any of the songs. Enjoyed it but not to the point that I’ll seek it out. 3 stars
Great album. The first 3 tracks were all big hits. Will definitely listen to again.
The Coral
3/5
Not a bad album but nothing special. Surprised this counts as an album I have to listen to before I die…
Bob Dylan
3/5
It’s obvious why Dylan is thought of as among the best. Great songs and great album. I just prefer when others perform his songs
Joanna Newsom
1/5
Absolutely awful. Why on earth is this an album I have to listen to? Seems like someone is too desperate to seem deep and artsy.
Lucinda Williams
3/5
Was a decent album. Won’t seek it out.
Common
2/5
I can see why this is so lauded as a great album, but it doesn’t speak to me. But the messages weren’t made for me - a middle-aged white guy from the suburbs. I appreciate the artistry, and really liked some of it, but I won’t be looking to listen again.
Miles Davis
2/5
I was excited for this album because I like Miles Davis. But this isn’t the Miles I normally listen to. It had no direction. Just seemed like people recording experimentations with no discernment. Ended up disappointing
Maxwell
2/5
Another album in this list that I can understand why it’s on here, but just doesn’t speak to me. Some good instrumental pieces and good soul beat. But it didn’t connect.
Cyndi Lauper
3/5
When Cyndi Lauper came up, I was disappointed and didn’t want to listen. But then when listening to the album, I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it more than I expected. A number of big hits came from this album.
Marty Robbins
1/5
This album was just plain boring. Simple guitar strums with stories put to simple melodies. I wish I knew what made this an album that I needed to listen to.
Incubus
3/5
I was a bit disappointed by this album. I know the 3 hits on this album and like each of them. So I expected to enjoy the album. But the album was just ok as a complete mix.
Public Enemy
3/5
Great album - but not my thing.
Pixies
3/5
Pretty good album. I don’t think I’ll seek it out again, but I enjoyed it.
Brian Eno
3/5
I enjoyed the album but didn’t really think it was anything special.
Kings of Leon
2/5
Not as good as last Kings of Leon album
Miles Davis
4/5
Great album! Love this Jazz
Jethro Tull
4/5
Great classic rock story-telling album
Janis Joplin
4/5
Really enjoyed this album. Had never listened to it before but her voice really puts soul into the songs.
Fugees
2/5
Some of this was good - but mostly the tracks that sampled other songs. Didn’t show much original creativity
The Crusaders
2/5
This album felt very much “of a time”.
It was fine - but just another album where I don’t understand why this is on a list of albums I should listen to before I die.
The Roots
2/5
I was really excited when I saw it was the roots. I have never listened to an album of theirs before. I didn’t like it as much as I expected to.
Ray Charles
4/5
Ray Charles never disappoints!
Moby
3/5
I recognized some of the songs from getting radio play, but aside from that, this album was just ok. Didn’t really connect with me.
3/5
I can see why this was foundational for punk rock. I can also see why it didn’t get great reviews right away. Didn’t love listening to it, but definitely hear the Clash in their sound
Bon Jovi
4/5
Great 80’s rock album with some big hits on it.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
Absolutely legendary album!
Elvis Presley
3/5
I enjoyed the album. Mostly slower songs. Good mellow mood
Mekons
2/5
Nothing special.
Willie Nelson
4/5
I really enjoyed this album. Something about Willie Nelson that puts me at ease.
Serge Gainsbourg
1/5
Meh. It was fine but I don’t understand French and it’s not like the melodies or musicianship were so spectacular that they made up for it.
Killing Joke
1/5
There’s a reason that Killing Joke isn’t a household name. This was just noise
3/5
This album was fun. Not their best but I enjoyed it.
CHVRCHES
1/5
Did not like this.
Gillian Welch
3/5
I enjoyed this album. Slow and chill but not something I’ll probably look up to play a lot more.
The Pretty Things
2/5
This was decent. I hear influence of a lot of bands I love. But ended up getting bored with it.
The Rolling Stones
5/5
Great album by a great band
Tori Amos
4/5
Tori Amos has a great calm and haunting quality to her voice. I enjoyed this album and will listen to it again.
Minor Threat
1/5
Nope. Not for me.
Dr. Dre
1/5
Gangster rap definitely not for me
Todd Rundgren
3/5
I got excited when I saw something I had never heard before from an artist I know. But this one didn’t hit home. I enjoyed the covers but even those weren’t the beats.
George Harrison
5/5
Amazing album, but I knew this one already
The Dictators
3/5
Some fun pop rock but not something I’ll seek out
Ray Charles
4/5
I enjoyed. I’ll be listening to this more and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it more as I listen.
Pink Floyd
5/5
Legendary album for a reason.
Queen
5/5
This is the kind of album I was hoping to get more of in this list. An album I had never listened to before but it’s a great album
Thelonious Monk
3/5
Enjoyable jazz. A little more eclectic than I like, but still enjoyed it.
Ananda Shankar
2/5
The music was good. I enjoyed the covers. But I can’t get over the constant drone behind the sitar. It grains on me.
Peter Gabriel
4/5
I really enjoyed this album. Sounded like an 80’s version of Dave Matthews
Paul Simon
5/5
Always loved this album
Foo Fighters
5/5
Foo Fighters are awesome
The xx
1/5
Terribly boring
Jerry Lee Lewis
3/5

4/5
Had never listened to her album before. Really good album. Very powerful and soulful voice.
Nine Inch Nails
4/5
Enjoyed this album throughout.
Leonard Cohen
3/5
I feel like I enjoyed this more because my dad used to listen to Leonard Cohen. If I wasn’t familiar with him, I think I would have been more bored. But I did enjoy.
Radiohead
2/5
Never really got into Radiohead and this wasn’t any different. I like the song Karma Police, but the rest was just boring.
Simon & Garfunkel
5/5
Loved it!
My Bloody Valentine
1/5
This just sounded like noise to me. Was wondering when it would be over.
Iggy Pop
3/5
Title track is good and known. Rest of album was ok
Beastie Boys
3/5
I like the beastie boys but listening to an entire album of theirs is a bit much.
John Lennon
4/5
Love Lennon but this album was just ok.
LCD Soundsystem
1/5
Electronic music doesn’t speak to me
Girls Against Boys
1/5
In a day when alt rock was huge, there’s no wonder this one never became a hit. No good
GZA
3/5
Really enjoyed the beat throughout this album, but I’m not the target audience for the lyrics and what these songs are about so I didn’t connect with it.
Elliott Smith
4/5
I know Elliott Smoth from Good Will Hunting soundtrack and knew 2 of the songs on this album. It is a good album but all the songs have a very similar vibe and sound to them.
The Pogues
4/5
Didn’t know what to expect from this but the album was a lot of fun. I want to dig into their catalog now.
Can
2/5
Interesting but meh

1/5
Still don’t get Radiohead

4/5
I enjoyed this a lot.

4/5

3/5
This album reminded me a bit of post-Beatles Lennon, but not quite as good. Still enjoyed though.
Sufjan Stevens
4/5
My brother in law game me this album back when it came out. I thought it was ok but never really cared about it.
Listening now with intent was very enjoyable.

Steve Winwood
2/5
Good production value on this record but the music didn’t hit me.

3/5
I like Belle and Sebastian but had never listened to an entire album before. They’re better in a playlist because the sound gets to be the same after a while.
Björk
1/5
Awful and whiny
David Bowie
5/5
Great album all around by a legendary artist
Alice Cooper
3/5

2/5
Didn’t really care for this on the whole.
Van Halen
5/5
Can’t believe I had never listened to this entire album before. Really loved it.

4/5
This one made me think of my mom the whole time. Never heard it before but it’s exactly what she likes. I enjoyed it. Beautiful voice and nice harmonies.
Funkadelic
3/5
Really enjoyed. Great funk sound and can move to the rhythm the whole time.
Beck
3/5
I had this album as a teenager. Always thought it was just ok. After relistening, I still think that. Some good sounds and great production though.
Blur
3/5
I know and like the second track. The rest of the album was ok.
Michael Jackson
5/5
One if the best selling albums of all time for a reason.
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
This was a fun album. I love the sound of big band in with rock or pop and that was well mixed in here.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Normally Neil young’s voice grains on me, but this album was great. Really enjoyed it.
Nick Drake
4/5
I enjoy Nick Drakes mellow and calm sounds.

Better than I expected, but didn’t speak to me.
Yes
5/5
Was a really good album with different sounds.

5/5
One of my favorite albums of all time

3/5
Fun album but not something I’ll seek out.

3/5
G. Love & Special Sauce
4/5
Really enjoyed the funk and blues feel here. Fun album
Metallica
5/5
I am so-so on Metallica and didn’t know what to expect, but this was AWESOME! The symphonic orchestra behind them added a fullness and completeness to the music that enhanced is a major way. Made every song better.

This was ok
Run-D.M.C.
2/5
Classic hip hop. But not my thing.
The Blue Nile
1/5
Terrible. Had to turn off half way thru
Beth Orton
3/5
Not bad. Had hints of Alanis Morissette, Sarah MacLaughlin, and Tori Amos, but yet the whole album sounded the same. Fits right in with the other 90’s female vocalists - but there’s a reason it didn’t become a hit like the others did.
Dire Straits
3/5
It was good. I’d listen to it again but probably wouldn’t seek it out.
Radiohead
2/5
Radiohead just doesn’t speak to me

Neil Young
3/5
Classic Neil Young sound
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
Fleetwood Mac doesn’t dissappoint
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
Ok album if in the right mood. Very slow and mellow. Kind of reminds me of something to listen to in a planetarium but with lyrics

5/5
Terrific album. Even better as a complete album than the hits by themselves.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
Not as good as I expected it to be

Doesn’t speak to me
Peter Gabriel
3/5

3/5
Elvis is good

3/5
This was ok. Sounded like a Leonard Cohen album, but his voice isn’t as good.
John Grant
3/5
It was better than I expected, but it’s probably not anything I’ll seek out. I think it would have been a bigger hit in the 90’s
A Tribe Called Quest
1/5
Nope. Doesn’t speak to me
TV On The Radio
1/5
Honestly, I thought this was pretty terrible
Gang Starr

I never listened to a Steely Dan album before. It was much better than I expected.
Steely Dan
3/5
Not as good as Pretzel Logic. More soft-rock. But some good jazz vibe’s too
Goldfrapp
2/5
Maybe if in the right mood. Very elevator-y, but more harsh sounds. Ended up skipping a few at the end because they were too sharp and her tone was off key

Could be ok while making dinner. Some big band and big voice
CHIC
2/5
Not my thing.

3/5
Not bad. But not something I’d just put on
fIREHOSE
3/5
Meh. It was good but not something I’d seek out
The Electric Prunes
2/5
Not very good. With as much as I like 60’s British pop/rock, it’s no wonder I had never heard of them
Tracy Chapman
3/5
Good album. Love the opening track.
Burning Spear
2/5
It’s ok. But the entire album sounds the same. Got tired of it.

4/5
Nice jazz tunes

No bad. Very David Bowie-esque

Ali Farka Touré

Nice to chill to
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
Enjoyable alt-rock sound
The Residents
1/5
The sound is terrible. It sounds like they were just trying to put whatever sounds. They could come up with together and put a beat behind it. I didn’t find any artistic value to this at all.
Eagles
5/5
I personally think this is the best Eagles album. Amazing beginning to end.
Sam Cooke
5/5
Great r&b with soul!

Not bad but too 80’s emo for me.

Not bad

2/5
Listened to most of the album. Didn’t really like it.
The Replacements
3/5
Not bad but not something I’d turn on.
2Pac
2/5
I know people love him, but it just doesn’t speak to me. Clearly great quality though.

This is awful 80’s pop

Amazing album!
Songhoy Blues
1/5
Don’t feel like listening to international stuff.
Supergrass
4/5
I enjoyed this album. Good sound. I listen to a lot of 90’s rock, so it’s strange to me that I’m not aware of this group at all.
The Louvin Brothers
1/5
This is awful
Marvin Gaye
4/5
Amazing R&B. Marvin’s voice is unbelievable
David Bowie
3/5
I can understand why people love David Bowie. And this album is a great mixture of sounds. But it just doesn’t hit for me.
Carole King
5/5
One of the rare perfect albums. Every song is great
The Fall
1/5
These guys sound like they want to be a really shitty version of the Ramones
Steve Earle
2/5
Not very good. Podunk 80s country. Had a decent beat, but that’s about all I can say for it.
Gene Clark
3/5
Not bad. There were sounds in here that show he may have been an influence to bands like Metallica and Bruce Springsteen.
Britney Spears
3/5
This album came out my Senior year of high school. So I know the pop hits, but didn’t know the rest. Britney is a guilty pleasure to me. The rest of the album after the first 3 tracks reminded me of 90’s R&B (like BoyzIIMen or KC & JoJo) more than pop music.
The Beach Boys
4/5
I live The Beach Boys sound
Jefferson Airplane
5/5
Fantastic California rock! Great album!

Pretty good sound. This is the type of album I’d probably like more and more after multiple listens.
XTC
3/5
I saw that this album was an alt record from the 80s, and I didn’t have my hopes up. But it was much better than I expected! There are definitely some sounds in this album that were influential to later bands.
Dizzee Rascal
1/5
Not feeling like this hip-hop right now
Paul Simon
3/5
It’s no Graceland, but I like Paul Simon’s sound.
Arctic Monkeys
3/5
The sound is good. But the whole album has the same sound. No diversity of beats, tones, chords, etc. got sick of it half way through
Mudhoney
2/5
These guys just want to be alive in chains or nirvana or something. Just crunch sound with no feeling
The B-52's
3/5
This album was fun. Not something I’d put on regularly but I enjoyed it.

4/5

Buck Owens
2/5
Certainly not a sound that speaks to me, but I appreciate the simple sounds and lyrics and why he spoke to so many.
Brian Wilson
4/5
Great Brian Wilson sound. But to truly appreciate this, I would need to listen to it on a great sound system, which I didn’t do. I’m sure I would really like this album with a lot of listens.
Mudhoney
2/5
Another album by Mudd honey, but really is just sound. I can’t say there’s really a ton of art in this that I can understand.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
Absolutely amazing! Some great hits, and some awesome deep cuts.
Hookworms
3/5
Decent alt. Nothing I’d put on though.

4/5
Classic Pink Floyd
Stereolab
2/5
I would never turn this on but I left in on while mowing the lawn. Interesting sound.
Brian Eno
3/5
Certainly not my sound but very artsy
Bonnie Raitt
3/5
I can appreciate this, but it’s not meant for me. This is the definition of “Chick Country”
Lynyrd Skynyrd
5/5
Fantastic album! Never listened to it before, but I knew most of the songs. Radio, TV, Movies - this album is full of great songs.
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
3/5

It was ok
Kelela
3/5
She has a great voice.

Fun album
Gil Scott-Heron

3/5
If you like Fiona Apple, this is good. I know she is divisive.
The Lemonheads
3/5
Good alt rock album
Morrissey
3/5
Didn’t expect much of this because I didn’t care for the other Morrissey album, but this one was better. Kind of like his other album, mixed with David Bowie, mixed with 90’s soft rock.

Don’t like this.
Donovan
4/5
Great 60’s rock!
Pixies
3/5
I wouldn’t doubt it if a bunch of 2000’s bands said the Pixies influenced them. A lot of sounds that sound like they influenced bands like The Killers or Franz Ferdinand
Spiritualized
2/5
Not really my thing. Maybe if I was high and sitting by the fire, it would be good, but too many of the songs sounded like they just put random sounds together with no cohesiveness.
Ice T
2/5
Doesn’t speak to me
Linkin Park
4/5
Awesome 2000’s rock!

Great album beginning to end.

Listened to the first few tracks, and it wasn’t my thing. Really didn’t see too much artistry in this.
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
Really enjoyed.
Drive-By Truckers

Top 100 album for sure. Fantastic sounds!

I’m not a fan of the soft sound so much, but I found this album really enjoyable.

3/5
Short album. Enjoyed it for what it is.
The Offspring
4/5
Great nostalgia from high school
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
3/5
Not my sounds but I enjoyed. Was hoping for more funk.
Definitely heard sounds that shows they were potential influencers of Michael Jackson, Prince, and some early hip hop
Soft Cell
1/5
Not my thing at all
Frank Ocean
1/5
This doesn’t speak to me, but it wasn’t made for a 40-something guy, so I’m not surprised

I don’t listen to the entire album, but thru the first 9 tracks, there was nothing great and the dudes singing voice was so bad it was distracting
ABBA

Johnny Cash
5/5
Amazing album beginning to end. Listened to it 4 times in a row.
Sepultura
1/5
Not really my thing. When I listen to metal, I want there to still be art in it. Metallica does a great job with that. But this just sounds like crunchy guitar and slamming on the drums with no discernment for putting together a melody or consistent rhythm.

It was fine

2/5

Brian Eno
2/5

A bit too harsh for me.

Too bubble-gum 80’s synth pop for me.
