Christine and the Queens
5/5
I had never even heard of this band before. And I start listening to it and I'm like what the hell is this French lesbian R&B?! And then after while I'm like this is some damn good French lesbian r&b! A keeper and a sharer

The Verve
4/5
Greatly enjoyed. I'd heard singles, but never the whole album. Never realized quite how energetically dreary the band is.

Public Image Ltd.
5/5
Amazing album. The copy that I downloaded had a 1 hour long interview with John Lydon tacked on to the end of the list; that was an unexpected treat!
1 likes
ZZ Top
5/5
It only heard one or two of the singles from this album and of course of my life. Now that I've heard the whole album I really get why the band was so popular. They're a pure driving rock band in a very defining way. I ended up listening to it twice today.

Pulp
3/5
Hit the nostalgia bone, but I was never a big fan of them. Nice to know I've 'done the album though'
Stevie Wonder
5/5
A favorite of my ff and I
The Rolling Stones
4/5
It was nice hearing the hits that I had heard before within the context of the entire album. Definitely a wonderful Sunday afternoon experience
Iron Maiden
3/5
Meh, metal
John Lennon
4/5
I enjoyed listening to it and it's entirety. Coincidentally I had already had it on my phone but had only listened to tracks on shuffle. It was interesting to hear a couple of songs that I actually knew quite well because of other people's covers that I hadn't realized I had originally been written by John Lennon
Johnny Cash
5/5
That was a great album, listened to it while sanding down a plastered wall.
Elvis Costello
4/5
That was a pleasant background for a bedtime read
Eels
5/5
Listen to this and it's entirety while painting a wall white in the middle of a high traffic public hallway. It was a very relaxing experience.
Steely Dan
3/5
I hadn't realized how many Steely Dan songs I had heard throughout the course of my life. That was quite enjoyable
The Human League
3/5
I was greatly amused to find out that their number one hit was the last song on the album. Nice album to make pancakes on a Sunday morning to
Dolly Parton
3/5
That was pleasant to listen to but ultimately underwhelming.
T. Rex
5/5
That was unexpectedly good. I heard a couple of songs that I've heard covers of. All said I've enjoyed it enough that I am going to download the entire discography and add it to my collection
Billie Holiday
5/5
That was absolutely delightful. I listened to it while reading the last few episodes of the Crossed comic books, so it was a wonderful juxtaposition of lush musicality and over sexualized Gore.
Machito
5/5
That was a treat. Ended up listening to it twice. Adding it to the folder of things that get randomly played when I'm doing housework.
The Allman Brothers Band
4/5
Was an enjoyable experience to listen to this foundational white R&B record. Not going to keep it for mobile but we'll keep it for the shuffle
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
5/5
I already have this one in my collection and I absolutely love it listen to it all the time
Ice Cube
2/5
Honestly now that I'm in my 50s the gangster rap just sounds silly. The lyrical flow was good the Beats were great but content wise it was unappealing. Will not be adding to regular rotation
Jorge Ben Jor
5/5
Listen to it riding my bike to and from work coincidentally through little Portugal / little Brazil in Toronto in the middle of winter. I got a lot of smiles from people walking on the sidewalk as I rode bye on the very loud speaker that I attached to my bike. Going to keep this one and maybe check out some of his other stuff but this will definitely be a summer bike ride album.
Cream
3/5
That was fun, some I'd heard before.
Muddy Waters
4/5
Listens to it while riding my bike to work this morning. Really enjoyed it. Adding it to the shuffle
Simply Red
4/5
Great album
Beck
4/5
As it has always been, a great album. Haven't listened to the whole thing all the way through in quite a while.
Alanis Morissette
3/5
That was enjoyable. I'm more used to the remixes and dance versions of the familiar songs.
Roxy Music
5/5
Listen to it with the woman that I spent the night with lying in bed the next morning with coffee. She loved it
The Who
5/5
At the age of 50 I had never actually gotten around to listening to that entire album from beginning to end. And having listened to it from beginning to end at the age of 50 I am now glad that I was old enough to properly appreciate it when listening to it for the first time. I'm now going to make a point of seeing if I can find a group that performs this album live in my area and attend their performance
The Police
5/5
A favorite of many many decades. It was nice to get a reminder and prompt to listen to the whole thing from beginning to end again. My personal anecdote for the band is that after they broke up I eventually became a huge fan of Stuart Copeland and really didn't give as*** about sting. For s**** and giggles I'm going to look up the guitar players post police history to see what he ended up going on to do.
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
Meh
King Crimson
5/5
Been listening to this one for decades. Absolutely love it
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Took a few days to get through the whole thing because life kept interrupting. Great to listen to lots of songs that I've heard throughout the years
Pavement
2/5
I'm honestly underwhelmed. I had heard of it pavement for decades now and never got around a listing to them and now I understand why
TV On The Radio
5/5
I heard the name before but never heard the music that was a real treat and definitely going to be keeping it in the collection
Pink Floyd
5/5
I hadn't listened to this all the way through in I don't know how long. It was probably at least 20 or 30 years ago in a friend's basement during the very early teen years when somebody had the rare occurrence of weed. So today I decided to put on the full length movie version and watch it with my kids on family day! The 18-year-old thought it was interesting.
Spiritualized
3/5
It was pleasant to listen to but not an album I'll be putting on my phone to carry around with me
KISS
3/5
I was never a big fan. I recognized a few of the songs. But didn't really move me in any way
The Beau Brummels
2/5
S'alright. Nice bus ride music
T. Rex
5/5
That was fabulous! Adding to the travel folder on my phone. Ended up listening to it twice today
Fiona Apple
5/5
That was great fun. Probably going to add it to my collection so I can listen to it again later
Paul Simon
3/5
Pleasant to listen to like all of Paul Simon's works but not overwhelmingly good enough to add to the shuffle on my phone; I will however add it to a folder called Simon and Garfunkel on my computer
Black Sabbath
4/5
A bunch of my Metalhead friends said that they're going to kick my ass after I admitted that I did not know that the theme song to the TV show Big Mouth was a Black Sabbath cover until I was prompted to listen to this entire album for the first time today
Tina Turner
4/5
It started out really screechy and reminded me of my mom when I was sick. Then as it went on and the Nostalgia hit for the songs that I recognized and remembered I really got into it. Going to add it to the mobile collection
Funkadelic
5/5
That was a treat! Stays on the phone until the next purge.
Fiona Apple
4/5
Loved it
Van Morrison
3/5
A pleasant listen, but it didn't Rock My World.
Common
3/5
Instrumentally I quite enjoyed this, lyrically I could appreciate the flow Cadence and some of the word play; but as a middle-aged white man from Suburban Canada I wasn't able to entirely connect with the lyrical content and messaging. And I don't think I'm expected to be able to in anything more than a superficial way.
Slint
5/5
Great album glad that I met it
3/5
It was a fun listen but the band either was inspired by a bunch of other bands that they sound just like were inspired a bunch of other bands to sound just like them since the album came out. I'll keep it in the at home Shuffle but I'm not going to carry it around on my phone.
The Style Council
5/5
I am so sad that I didn't know of this album years and years ago. I absolutely loved it and ended up listening to it three times. Definitely going to be checking out the rest of the band's discography
Nine Inch Nails
5/5
A classic album of my goth youth! Accidentally downloaded disc 2 of the remaster and ended up listening to all of the remix as well having my daily bicycle commute, but then I listened to the entire the album on a moderate volume during the evening and it was great.
OutKast
4/5
I had heard singles off of the album but never the whole album. It was a great selection and I think I'm going to keep it around a while
Siouxsie And The Banshees
5/5
I'd known the singles it was nice to finally hear the rest of the album. I quite enjoyed it
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
Just happened to have downloaded it when my girlfriend came back into the room on a Saturday morning, I said hey what a crawl back into bed and listen to the Jimi Hendrix experience; so we did and it was good.
Minor Threat
2/5
I'm not a big hardcore fan but that was a half decent listen.
Solomon Burke
4/5
That was a wonderful example of early Rock and Soul music. My girlfriend's going to love making out to it.
Tim Buckley
5/5
Got to sit entirely still on the streetcar while I listened to this on the way to work, was very relaxing.
The Velvet Underground
4/5
A fun and interesting listening. I didn't realize quite how noisy that band could get
The 13th Floor Elevators
3/5
Started to really enjoy it until this persistent wooba dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby noise started to be heard as almost there backing instrument in all the tracks and it just drove me up the wall. I listen to it all the way through and I did enjoy it but that stupid whoopie dooby dooby dooby dooby sound will prevent me from making it something that I would listen to on a regular basis
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
Haven't listened to the whole album all the way through in quite a while. That was nice!
Missy Elliott
5/5
A great listen. Had not heard it before.
Guided By Voices
3/5
That was a nice listen. Kind of middle of the road for content, probably not going to throw that on the phone for mobile listening but I'll keep it in the at home collection
George Harrison
5/5
That made my morning commute and the first two hours of work amazing! Going to keep that one on the phone for mobile listening in the future.
Morrissey
4/5
Long time Smith's in Morrissey fan but I never actually gotten around to listening to this album. I like it
Nas
3/5
The instrumentation and flow was quite enjoyable, but as with all of the gangster rap albums I really don't connect to it in any way because it's not my lived experience
Jethro Tull
5/5
I usually do thick as a brick when I'm going to do a jethroat toll listen. This was a nice change of pace
The Pogues
5/5
Knew some of the singles, glad to have the album now.
Simple Minds
5/5
Oldie but a goodie!
White Denim
3/5
Nice enough, but not 'on the phone for mobile listening' good.
Boston
4/5
Meh, good album but I've hard it way too often in my life.
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Knew the singles. Liked the album
Bill Evans Trio
5/5
That was an absolute treat! I put it on while I was reading John lydon's biography anger is an energy and it paired really well much to my surprise. Definitely keeping this for mobile listening and going to put it on as a makeout album with my girlfriend
Bob Dylan
3/5
An album I know pretty well. Nice to listen to it fully looking forward to the next one though cuz this was really new
Curtis Mayfield
5/5
I've had this one on my phone as part of my standard listening selection for close to a decade
Hüsker Dü
2/5
I like Punk but I've never been able to get into the hardcore scene. I can appreciate the technical skill and the lyrical message but I just would not choose to listen to this of my own volition.
Christine and the Queens
5/5
I had never even heard of this band before. And I start listening to it and I'm like what the hell is this French lesbian R&B?! And then after while I'm like this is some damn good French lesbian r&b! A keeper and a sharer
ZZ Top
5/5
It only heard one or two of the singles from this album and of course of my life. Now that I've heard the whole album I really get why the band was so popular. They're a pure driving rock band in a very defining way. I ended up listening to it twice today.
The Kinks
3/5
Had never heard that album before. I enjoyed it, but it's not something that I'm going to actively seek out to put on; but I'll keep it in the archive for random play
Lauryn Hill
5/5
Awesome album!
Leonard Cohen
5/5
Absolutely beautiful listen to it twice
Steely Dan
3/5
It was OK. Hadn't listened to them before. Not something I'll choose, but don't mind it in the shuffle.
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
Great easy listening album. Gonna put it in the 'make out with my gf that likes RAndB folder
Mike Oldfield
5/5
A classic, love it.
The Notorious B.I.G.
4/5
Technically and production wise its a great album, a treat to listen to if you don't mind the language; but the lyrical content is just trash for someone that does not come from a black, urban, gangster background.
Brian Eno
5/5
This is The Benchmark for ambient albums. I have probably listened to it thousands of times going to sleep at night over the past 30 years of my life.
George Michael
3/5
A pretty album and a nice listen but not something that I'm going to come back to very often.
Brian Eno
5/5
Great album. Listened 3 times today. Keeping on the phone for at least a while.
Daft Punk
5/5
A classic of the genera. Danced to it at the club many times.
3/5
Pretty. Will be keeping for the background music playlist.
Lana Del Rey
3/5
Never listened to her before. I get why all the girls like her now. Not my cup of tea.
Dusty Springfield
5/5
Much to my surprise I find out that the person that sings Son of a Preacher Man is a white lady. The whole album was great it's definitely a keeper
Sex Pistols
5/5
Genre defining classic that I know well
Mekons
3/5
It was kind of like hey Mom can we have some of the Pogues and Mom said no we have the pugs at home. I'll delete it for space on the phone I'll keep it for posterity on the external hard drive that I put on shuffle for parties.
Abdullah Ibrahim
5/5
Absolutely beautiful! Ended up listening to it three times and it's been added to my bedtime I'm going to sleep now playlist
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5
It was pretty good I hadn't heard it before I enjoyed it
Janet Jackson
3/5
It wasn't bad but I really didn't pay much attention to it because it was so Bland. Probably due to overexposure when I was younger
The Undertones
5/5
That is some genuine and authentic Punk. Quite enjoyed replastering a ceiling to that today.
Elton John
3/5
Nice
Mercury Rev
2/5
I listen to to the whole thing yesterday, and can't remember anything significant today.
The Fall
5/5
Great album. Was playing while riding to work and another cyclist complimented me on my choice of album; so I told her it was my first time with it because of 1001atltbyd lol
Metallica
4/5
Im not a big metal fan, but I did enjoy listening to this over two days of bike commutes.
3/5
It was nice. And help me familiarize myself with some Barbara songs before I go and see her live later this year
The Cardigans
3/5
It made taking a trip to the dentist mildly more pleasant
The Who
4/5
Interesting listen.
Ella Fitzgerald
5/5
An amazing listen. Took three days of bike commutes to get through it; and I got asked what I was playing multiple times.
Japan
5/5
Long time Japan listener. Great Album.
The Smiths
5/5
Magnificent
The Sonics
4/5
Very cool to hear such early versions of songs. I liked it.
Elton John
4/5
Pleasant
The Smiths
5/5
Longtime favorite
Eminem
5/5
That was fun! Grabbing the rest of the discography to add to my shuffle.
Bob Dylan
3/5
Heard it many times before it's an all right album
The Pretty Things
5/5
This album was like saying hey Mom I'd like some of the Beatles and your mom saying we have the Beatles at home. The thing is the Beatles that you were referring to were Chef Boyardee canned ravioli and the Beatles at home that she was referring to was the old Italian nanas homemade ones with her custom blend of ground beef and pork and spices and herbs that she grew in her backyard with the pasta made with wheat grown from grains that she brought over from the old country after the war. It was like experiencing a Beatles album if the Beatles had stuck around long enough to get a bit of a metal Edge.
Fairport Convention
3/5
It started out kind of hippy dippy but got progressively more bluesy. It was enjoyable
Eagles
3/5
Meh that was my dad's dad Rock
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
It sounded just as good as the first time I heard it and a white kids University dorm room while smoking weed in my teens
The Stooges
5/5
I unexpectedly got to listen to this album for the first time this morning on making love to my girlfriend. We both enjoyed the album.
The Verve

Greatly enjoyed. I'd heard singles, but never the whole album. Never realized quite how energetically dreary the band is.
Sufjan Stevens
5/5
That was awesome! Glad to add it to my rotation
David Crosby
3/5
Technically good but underwhelming
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
A classic of my youth but not one that I was ever particularly enamored by
Echo And The Bunnymen
5/5
Delightful blast from the past. Grabbing their discography for a deep dive.
Willie Nelson
3/5
Nice, but not adding to my collection
Moby
5/5
That was fun! Keeping it on the phone for biker rides
Teenage Fanclub
3/5
Nice. Nostaligic for GenX
Jerry Lee Lewis
4/5
That was a fun collection of Classics that I had not heard all together before.
Ms. Dynamite
1/5
I honestly tried. But I couldn't get through more than half of this album. The content of it was just so completely irrelevant to my life or experiences and it didn't do anything for me
Paul McCartney
4/5
Nice album. Some really great drumlines and basslines that I'm surprised haven't been sampled more.
Public Image Ltd.
5/5
Amazing album. The copy that I downloaded had a 1 hour long interview with John Lydon tacked on to the end of the list; that was an unexpected treat!
Beatles
4/5
Heard it before it's a good album
The Soft Boys
3/5
Cool album.
Fugees

Sister Sledge
5/5
A delightful listen on my way to and from work on my bike, brought smiles to a lot of people's faces at stop lights
FKA twigs
3/5
That was interesting and not bad. I'm not going to delete it right away and it will probably end up in the permanent collection
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
5/5
Great album! And I get to see him perform live in Toronto next month.
Yes
3/5
Nice prog rock, but not something I will listen to repeatedly
Public Enemy
5/5
A genre defining album
Doves
1/5
I listen to it all the way through and I don't remember a single moment of it.
Neil Young
3/5
It sounded like everything else I've ever heard Neil Young do
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
I really enjoyed the album, I had heard the singles but not the entire album before.
The Last Shadow Puppets
3/5
It sounded like a British pop band decided to make a country album.
Supertramp
4/5
Really enjoyed it. Ended up downloading the combination of the original CD and the live Hammersmith collection.
Van Morrison
4/5
Sounded like every other Van Morrison album.
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
5/5
I ended up listening to this five times while I cleaned my turtle tank yesterday. Going to add to the permanent collection I really enjoyed it
Prefab Sprout
5/5
That was delightful and being added to the permanent collection
David Bowie
5/5
Pretty sure that I have heard all the songs, but not in order that they were intended to be listened to on the album. Loved it
Pixies
5/5
Ironically I saw them play Live just this past Saturday night. It'll be great to spend the morning and afternoon ride on my bike listening to the album versions of songs that I had just heard played live.
Solange
3/5
Meh sounds like every other person of this genre
M.I.A.
5/5
Great album, been listening to it for years.
Duran Duran
4/5
I remember them being 'more', I guess time and new music has raised my standards. Heard sooooo many 'Japan' baselines.
Stevie Wonder
4/5
I really enjoyed listening to that. It's one of my girlfriend's favorite artists so it's definitely going to stay in the collection for playing up with the cottage.
Frank Zappa
3/5
That was a fun album
Electric Light Orchestra
4/5
I enjoyed it. I had not realized just how good they were
JAY Z
4/5
Technically a great album but me and a middle-aged white guy from Canada I couldn't connect with a lot of the content
Leonard Cohen
4/5
I enjoyed that
Ryan Adams
3/5
It was good, I'd enjoy seeing him play at a live music festival, but it's not an album that I'm going to pull up of my own volition.
Louis Prima
5/5
This was amazing! A bunch of songs that I had heard throughout my many decades but never within the context of the original album. Definitely going to be in the permanent collection that gets played on shuffle on my phone.
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
3/5
It was an interesting listen. It's not something that I will put on often because to be honest it was a bit of a chore to get through even though I was just sitting here reading Reddit while it played.
Blur
3/5
That was entertaining but ultimately underwhelming.
Adele
2/5
I could never get into her.
Morrissey
5/5
Always enjoyed Marcy. I grabbed the deluxe remaster that included live versions of all the songs so it was doubly good.
The Beach Boys
5/5
I was only familiar with the earlier bubblegum pop. This was a very enjoyable piece of progressive rock music
Digital Underground
4/5
That was a fun album. I had only ever heard the single the Humpty Dance, the rest of the album was quite enjoyable
Rage Against The Machine
5/5
One of the best albums of my generation
Rocket From The Crypt
2/5
Meh. Hardcore all sounds the same to me. It played in the background of making coffee, washing the dishes, and reading the paper and 10 minutes later I dont remember a single song, lyric, or hook.
The Only Ones
3/5
Quite good. I had only ever heard the single. Will keep around.
Paul McCartney and Wings
5/5
That was a fun lesson. Going to add it to the cottage patio mix
Cheap Trick
4/5
That was a fun lesson while I cleaned the house. But a little too classic rock for my regular rotation.
Kendrick Lamar
2/5
was interesting background as I cleaned, but nothing I'll seek to put on again.
Nanci Griffith
3/5
Meh. Country is country.
The Clash
5/5
A classic fave.
The Flaming Lips
5/5
Amazing!!!
Thin Lizzy
3/5
I enjoyed this while I wrote to and from work today. But it's not something that I'm going to suddenly decide to put on sometime in the future
Steely Dan
3/5
Oh another Steely Dan album. Just as good as any of the other Steely Dan albums that I listen to while going through this list. Because it's the same as every other Steely Dan album that I listen to and moderately enjoyed. I think that the list should start to filter out multiple albums by the same performer.
The Stone Roses
5/5
A long time favourite
Talking Heads
5/5
Awesome classic album
Charles Mingus
5/5
Freaking awesome!!!!
Willie Nelson
3/5
Pretty.
Slipknot
2/5
Really can't get into it. Almost finished listening to it and having trouble putting up with it.
Janelle Monáe
3/5
Not normally my type of music but I really did enjoy this.
Elliott Smith
5/5
This was really nice. Ended up listening to it twice. I get the feeling that Andy Shauf listens to Elliott Smith.
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
Self indulgent noodly emo prog-rock?
An interesting listen, but not a keeper
UB40
5/5
That was delightful. I didn't expect it to be mostly instrumental, or at least that's what I remember it having been an hour after listening to it on my ride home from work, but it was great and I'm definitely keeping on my phone to listen to it.
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
I really enjoyed that. My girlfriend will particularly enjoy it the next time we're at the cottage
Linkin Park
3/5
Never a big fan, but I enjoyed it.
American Music Club
3/5
Listen to it twice today. It was all right but not memorable enough for me to be able to tell you about any of the songs. Probably not going to leave it on my phone but I'll leave it on the hard drive
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
3/5
I played it while playing Fallout 76. It was a great background accompaniment. It's going to stay in the library if something that I listen to, but none of it is immediately memorable.
David Bowie
5/5
You can never say anything bad about David Bowie
Stephen Stills
4/5
At first I was oh great a country album, but then as it went on it just kept getting better and better. Of music. Going to leave it on the hard drive for the Sunday Shuffle.
Ozomatli
3/5
Completely new to me. I enjoyed it. I think it needs a second listen
John Martyn
2/5
His voice was really annoying.
Ray Charles
4/5
Great album.
Deep Purple
3/5
Good old classic rock and roll!
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
3/5
It was interesting to hear that very popular single within the context of the rest of the album.
3/5
It was fun listening to the full album but I was never a big fan.
Emmylou Harris
3/5
Pretty, pleasant, but bland
Erykah Badu
3/5
It was fun to listen to while I wrote to work and sat and checked my emails but 12 hours later I honestly can't recall a single song in any specific way. It was good but nothing to write home about
Gil Scott-Heron
4/5
I had not heard it before, was very good.
Songhoy Blues
5/5
I haven't checked yet but I got the feeling that these guys are from the same region as Mdou Moctar, and will be the second Tuareg guitar band Ive gotten into... I've checked, and they come from the country next door, 30 hours by car.
Listened to it 3 times today, loving it, an now gonna look for more bands from the region.
Listened to it twice more, looking for the vinyl now so I can take it to vinyl night at The Grand Trunk (my local bar)
The Waterboys
4/5
That was a great cleaning the house album.
Kate Bush
5/5
Classic

Duke Ellington
4/5
Awesome!
Haircut 100
4/5
That was a fun album to listen to. I was out riding my bike while I listened to it and a couple of other gen xers smiled and started bopping their heads when they heard it
3/5
Generic'80s/90s punk. Is all right to listen to but didn't really do anything for me
Violent Femmes

Amazing album. I got to see it performed live from beginning to end last year.

5/5
An old faith that I have heard of hundreds if not thousands of times
Big Black
2/5
Couldn't really get into it.
Judas Priest
3/5
It was interesting to hear such a foundational metal album. I'm not really a metal fan though.
The Zombies
5/5
That was quite the treat! It was kind of like the Beatles And The Beach Boys got together and made an album.
Meat Puppets
2/5
Really couldn't get into it. I actually played it twice but both times I ended up not paying attention to it because I was not enjoying it
Sepultura
4/5
I had never listened to Sepultura before today. The hardcore metal stuff was hardcore metal stuff kind of undifferentiated from most other hardcore metal stuff. What really grabbed my attention was the interstitial pieces. The stuff that obviously differed from North American or european metal. Then it got to the last Hidden Track Canyon Jam. That one blew my mind. I'm keeping this album on my phone just for that track.
Green Day
4/5
Classic.
Stevie Wonder
5/5
I have not heard this one before. The other should be wider album that I'm familiar with as a great favorite of me and my girlfriends. I think this will be joining it.

5/5
I'm not even finished listening to it and I'm giving it five stars and putting it on the playlist for when I go up to the cottage with my girl to get real high and f*** all weekend
Cat Stevens
5/5
A beautiful album.

3/5
That was a pretty cool album

3/5
Fun. I hadn't heard good articulate rap in a while
Lorde
3/5

Christina Aguilera
2/5
I'm not a big fan of pop music. I understand why this ended up on the list because of how popular it was. But really it doesn't do anything for me
Primal Scream
5/5
Awesome album with some great beats, very danceable
David Bowie
5/5
Absolutely Epic

5/5
Classic
Pavement
3/5
Having never listened to them before I can say that I understand why they became but it's popular as they did, and why they ended up in the book. But I did overall find it underwhelming
Shack
3/5
Meh. S'alright
Billy Joel
5/5
I know there's one way too well because it's one of my girlfriend's favorite albums
Simon & Garfunkel
5/5
I had heard a number of the singles from this album but never in the album in its entirety. I really enjoyed it and listened to it twice

Talking Heads
5/5
absolutely amazing album listen to hundreds of times over the years.
Miles Davis
5/5
Superb

The Smiths
4/5
An old favorite

Great example of early Punk.

5/5

Dr. John
3/5
That was funky and fun.

3/5
Nice to hear all the singles in album context
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
Classic from my teenage years
Wire
2/5
It was good Punk. But didn't really move me in any particular way. I had a 40 minute bike ride home at midnight after a game of Dungeons and Dragons and it fit the bill.
Morrissey
3/5
Another standard Morrissey album
3/5
I had only ever heard the hit single Victoria before and it was at such a young age that I thought the song was just about a girl named Victoria; not the Victoria. Was very interesting album to listen to the theme was cool and I quite enjoyed it.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

That was technically and aesthetically a great listen; but it's not something that I'm going to come back to over and over again.
Fela Kuti
5/5
That was an awesome album that I had never heard of before. Not even heard of the artist before. Listen to it while I was writing to work on my bike and again riding home from work on my bike. I had people that adjusted the pace of their riding so that they could stay close to me bop their head and compliment me on my music both there and back.
Elbow
3/5
I didn't pay very close attention while I was listening to this because things kept happening to distract me. But it did end up playing on a loop three times during that period and at no point was I ever dissatisfied with it. I definitely going to keep it on my phone and the next time I'm sitting down to read a book I'm going to put this on
Kacey Musgraves
2/5
Pretty, but unremarkable. I'll keep it on the main system for Shuffle but it won't go on a mobile device for choosing to listen to while on the go.

3/5
Great album listen to it many times
Jamiroquai
3/5
I was never a big fan of Jamiroquai, but having this album Play on YouTube music resulted in me listening to another hour and a half of live songs. I enjoyed it
Frank Ocean
2/5
I don't know if it was a genre defining album or just another album in the genre. It was not memorable in any way. I tried listening to it a second time with my girlfriend that's into that kind of music and we turned it off three songs in.
4/5
I'm now a fan of yes.
Leftfield
5/5
That was awesome! I downloaded the rest of their discography and spent the rest of the day listening to it.

3/5
Another one of those albums that I had heard the singles, but never heard the album, and honestly didn't even know who the artists were. I quite enjoyed it while riding my bike to and from work and will listen to it again

don't find it interesting enough to bother downloading to keep

A fun album to listen to every now and then

I enjoyed it enough on my bus ride to work that I listen to it again on the bus ride home; however do not remember anything from the album specifically.

4/5
Like groovy man, pretty much the definition of groovy man!

Femi Kuti
4/5
Really enjoyed listening to it on my way to work yesterday. So much so that when somebody asked me to put on some music to play before the all staff of 150 people I put it on the stereo that plays in the conference room. It ended up being played repeatedly throughout the day when we took breaks and had lunch.
Heaven 17
3/5

Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
It was Neil young, it's a good album
Coldcut
3/5
It was interesting to finally hear the legendary cold cut after never getting around to it. I prefer kid koala

Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Hearing the songs other than the singles that have been popular for a very long time was amazing. I didn't know that their musicality extended that far.
Supergrass
3/5
Berry 90s indie rock. I'm going to keep it on the phone so it comes up again maybe I'll get into it more
John Prine
3/5

The ultimate album to play while you make dinner for a goth chick so she puts out later in the evening.
Paul Simon
4/5
Lovely.
Serge Gainsbourg
3/5
That was so cool I looked up the english translations. It's unfortunate that the entire concept album is about a middle-aged man seducing and f****** a 14-year-old girl. This celebrated novel that is the foundation of French Rock and trip hop is basically a celebration of pedophilia
The Byrds
1/5
I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it.
Beck
4/5
So nice I played it twice
Sabu
3/5
Are very much enjoyed it. I'll keep it on the phone for a little while so I can enjoy it again

Rush
5/5
EPIC!
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Such a chill album.
U2
1/5

Great album
N.E.R.D

Sonic Youth
3/5
That was all right
Bonnie Raitt
2/5

Big Star
3/5
Interesting to hear the originals, I'm pretty sure I've heard covers of some of those songs
Beastie Boys
5/5
Played it on the speaker riding to work. Everyone over 40 was grinning and bobbing their head as I went by.
Britney Spears
2/5
Despite being old enough to have experienced this album come out originally I never actually listened to the entire thing because I was not a pop music fan. It was enjoyable Sunday morning listening.

That was way more epic then I thought it would be.

Fun. I'd only ever heard the last track.

3/5
I had to ride my bike for an hour to work this morning in the pouring rain.

Pearl Jam
3/5
Mmmm... grungy.
The Who

It was basically R&B elevator music for me. I didn't not enjoy it, but it did absolutely nothing for me. I think I need to listen to some Patricia Taxxon to cleanse my musical palette.

4/5
That was an interesting listen and I am looking forward to it coming up again in the shuffle in years to come
Jazmine Sullivan
1/5

It was the Beatles. It was really good.

Lightning Bolt
3/5
That was delightfully loud. I look forward to having the opportunity to listen to it on an even louder system sometime
Laura Nyro
5/5
Started listening to it before I looked at the date that it came out. Got to weighs into it and had the idea that if this person made this album after 1985 it's obvious that they listen to a lot of Kate Bush; then I saw what it came out and now I got the feeling that Kate Bush listens to them. Quite enjoyed it ended up listening to it three times.
The Mars Volta
1/5
Very busy, didn't do anything for me.
The Young Gods
4/5
I listened to it late at night as I was reading before bed. It definitely deserves a second to listen much louder, I'll be doing that as I ride my bike to work this morning.

4/5
That was catching and bouncing and I'm glad to have finally heard the entirety of the album that I had heard the single from. I think I listen to it three times today.

4/5
Delightfully smooth album to listen to while having coffee with my love on a Sunday morning.

Peter Tosh
2/5
Much reggae
Afrika Bambaataa
4/5
That was a fun experience on my new Super Bass headphones on the subway to work.
