Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby
Girls Against BoysIn a day when alt rock was huge, there’s no wonder this one never became a hit. No good

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.
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.
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
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.
Not my thing. A bit to electric jam band for me.
Not my thing. A bit to electric jam band for me.
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.
Did not like this.
Loved this album! Shared with a bunch of people and added songs to playlists. Will seek this out to listen to again.
Great instrumental album to listen to while making dinner or to have on in the background
Good album. Not much my thing but some great individual songs
Was ok but nothing special. Wouldn’t turn off but also wouldn’t look for it.
Didn’t really care for. It’s fine but not for me.
Not a bad album. Some fun songs. Enjoyed listening but won’t seek it out.
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.
Album was very “meh”. Not bad but nothing special
Another meh album. This sounded a bit like Fiona Apple, but not as good.
This is definitely not my style of music. I could tell it was well put together, but it’s not for me.
Did not like this one. Ended up skipping a number of the songs.
Good album. Not what I’ll seek out though.
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.
Not a bad album but nothing special. Surprised this counts as an album I have to listen to before I die…
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
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.
Was a decent album. Won’t seek it out.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great album - but not my thing.
Pretty good album. I don’t think I’ll seek it out again, but I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the album but didn’t really think it was anything special.
Not as good as last Kings of Leon album
Great album! Love this Jazz
Great classic rock story-telling album
Really enjoyed this album. Had never listened to it before but her voice really puts soul into the songs.
Some of this was good - but mostly the tracks that sampled other songs. Didn’t show much original creativity
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.
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 never disappoints!
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.
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
Great 80’s rock album with some big hits on it.
Absolutely legendary album!
I enjoyed the album. Mostly slower songs. Good mellow mood
Nothing special.
I really enjoyed this album. Something about Willie Nelson that puts me at ease.
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.
There’s a reason that Killing Joke isn’t a household name. This was just noise
This album was fun. Not their best but I enjoyed it.
Did not like this.
I enjoyed this album. Slow and chill but not something I’ll probably look up to play a lot more.
This was decent. I hear influence of a lot of bands I love. But ended up getting bored with it.
Great album by a great band
Tori Amos has a great calm and haunting quality to her voice. I enjoyed this album and will listen to it again.
Nope. Not for me.
Gangster rap definitely not for me
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.
Amazing album, but I knew this one already
Some fun pop rock but not something I’ll seek out
I enjoyed. I’ll be listening to this more and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it more as I listen.
Legendary album for a reason.
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
Enjoyable jazz. A little more eclectic than I like, but still enjoyed it.
The music was good. I enjoyed the covers. But I can’t get over the constant drone behind the sitar. It grains on me.
I really enjoyed this album. Sounded like an 80’s version of Dave Matthews
Always loved this album
Foo Fighters are awesome
Terribly boring
Decent short live album
Had never listened to her album before. Really good album. Very powerful and soulful voice.
Enjoyed this album throughout.
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.
Never really got into Radiohead and this wasn’t any different. I like the song Karma Police, but the rest was just boring.
Loved it!
This just sounded like noise to me. Was wondering when it would be over.
Title track is good and known. Rest of album was ok
I like the beastie boys but listening to an entire album of theirs is a bit much.
Love Lennon but this album was just ok.
Electronic music doesn’t speak to me
In a day when alt rock was huge, there’s no wonder this one never became a hit. No good
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.
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.
Didn’t know what to expect from this but the album was a lot of fun. I want to dig into their catalog now.
Interesting but meh
Still don’t get Radiohead
Didn’t enjoy this sound
Listened to the whole album but wondered why I left it on the whole time by the end. This album was ok but nothing special.
I enjoyed this a lot.
Old school country is not my thing. Gave it a listen but no need to listen again.
Eh, the album was fine but nothing special
Great album!
Really enjoyed the jazz on this album
This album reminded me a bit of post-Beatles Lennon, but not quite as good. Still enjoyed though.
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.
Another album where I knew a hit song but never listened to the album before. Great classic rock sound. I’ll listen to this again.
What a voice! Great to listen to
I didn’t really hear anything special in this.
Album was fine but gets a bit old after a while
I enjoyed this album, though didn’t find it as amazing as all the reviews.
I had never heard this album before but enjoyed it.
Good production value on this record but the music didn’t hit me.
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.
Awful and whiny
Great album all around by a legendary artist
This is my genre and expected to enjoy this more. It was ok, but not something I’d seek out.
Didn’t like this. Even tried having it on as background music and couldn’t take it.
Didn’t really care for this on the whole.
