Rumours
Fleetwood MacGood. I see why people like it, and if previously heard a lot of the tracks without knowing it was Fleetwood Mac. Some tracks are nothing special but none are bad.

It was fine.
Good. Early punk that's kinda toothless compared to later punk. The line about the earth dying shocked me.
Live recordings often sound very different from studio recordings, but Cheap Trick sounded great on stage and this is probably the best live album I've heard. Not all of the songs were great, but a few were very good. I had no clue that Japan loved them so much.
Not for me. It sounds too close to Christian rock.
This felt very plastic, pushed, and corporate. It's good-time jams for the whole family and it's the 70s so sunscreen wasn't invented oooh, look at me out in the sun.
Good, I didn't recognize a single track.
Were parents afraid of this guy? The music sounds like it belongs in the background of a Disney movie about a bum dad renting an RV to spend a weekend with his family when everything goes wrong. I am not a fan of faux dental drill sounds in my music. "I got no friends because I read the paper" is so lame.
I liked this a lot. Very novel and compelling. I understand why this album is in the list of 1001 albums to listen to before you die tomorrow.
This is in the Scrubs soundtrack. I'm sure of it.
The whole album is super short and there are 3+ songs about chasing girls. I wish I lived in the "fuck around" century and not the "find out" century.
Very refreshing. I don't speak Spanish so the lyrics were a little lost on me, but I think I got the intended experience.
Very good, but very dated funk. My ideal listening environment for this album is a bar.
Loved the instrumental. Everything else felt like I wasn't "getting" it.
Big fan. Interesting and novel.
This was like listening to the Beatles for the first time. Whimsical and energetic and emblematic of (what I believe) the '60s were like.
Great.
What's with the Blue Man Group percussion interlude?
I liked Tattooed Love Boys, but the rest was forgettable. I think I only remember TLB from guitar hero anyway.
Very good. Some was too experimental for me, but that's awesome.
What the fuck is this mastering. I'm only on the first track and it's unbearable. The female vocalist's voice is simultaneously muddy, without detail, and piercing. When the other instruments kicked in, her voice still sounded far too loud while every other element was significantly louder. This track sounds like a pre-set rhythm on a knockoff Yamaha stapled to a dying cat. It's like Poly Styrene has zero control over the volume of her voice and it's constantly maxed out, so they just turn it down during editing.
Fun, infectious, whimsical with attitude. A little repetitive, but that's the genre.
I didn't like Bitches Brew and I thought that Miles Davis wasn't for me. This album makes me feel relaxed and strongly nostalgic for Hey Arnold, in addition to giving me an appreciation for the depth of jazz.
Surprisingly good. Is this country?
Went over my head. I'll have to give it another listen sometime. Very amateurish, but that's not a bad thing.
I liked it. Extremely repetitive and derivative of other genres, but pleasant enough.
Very good. Catchy, fun, energetic.
I don't get it. The music is fine, but my habit of not listening to lyrics has barred me from understand this album and its reason for existing.
I liked it. Not 10/10 prog rock but very good and very early in the scene.
I was convinced that I'd like this going in, and my opinion hasn't changed. It's a little "out there" so this album probably isn't great for ad hoc listening, but this is definitely a groove I can dig.
I'm a big fan. I think the music suffers because of the main vocalist: he's somewhere between post-rehab Ozzy and an Elvis impersonator. The guitar work is amazing and the instruments are layered in a cool way.
Listening to a whole album of Dolly is a lot and it blended together after a bit, but I enjoyed it much more than I expected. I usually only listen to one Dolly song at a time and this broadened my repertoire.
The channel separation was extremely unusual, but I liked how adventurous it was.
Big fan. I like Dolly but she can be a lot across the course of an album. The other two talents added a lot and helped me understand why people like the genre. I can't give this five stars because it's not to my personal tastes, but I recognize that this album is unique and noteworthy. I'll probably listen to this again.
The piano makes it a little jazzy, but the drums seem to pull the music in the opposite direction. The vocalist sounds completely disinterested and kinda drones on. It's like he heard that it's popular to speak lyrics as opposed to singing them, but he couldn't figure out how not to sing so he's kinda Bono-ing it. I liked Movies of Myself significantly more than the rest of the album. I think the piano rubbed me the wrong way.
This is probably one of those albums that has cultural merit, but I know nothing about that and I only know the music. Music is fine. It's discordant and ethereal, but I didn't appreciate those features.
Holy shit these music videos have an inconsistent frame rate and it's bothering me a lot.
I loved Walk On. The rest was good, but a little forgettable.
I had a very difficult time assessing the music at face value. These songs are so beloved by a generation that they're used to push goals and incite an urge in the form of commercials for cars or Coke or whatever. Yes, I like some of the music. No, I'm not familiar with the world culture, nor am I familiar with the popular or music culture of 1973. I think this music is lost on me because it no longer symbolizes anything but relinquishing agency to the machine. Is this what Paul McCartney wanted? tl;dr , I don't feel qualified to rate the music because I only know it to be "commercial music."
Simon and Garfunkel made some of my favorite music. I like this album, but I don't like it the same way that I like Simon and Garfunkel. Paul is clearly very talented and, because of Graceland, I thought he just did religious music. I'm happy to see that he's not all about that all the time, but it's very apparent in many of the tracks. I don't know much about Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel individually, but I think Simon's "solo" stuff isn't for me. It's good and I like it, but it feels ethereal, like it exists in a world that turns without me.
very similar to Young the Giant. I can't really make out what the vocalist is saying because of all that echo. Total miss for me. I didn't have the attention span to sit through more than a few tracks. I'm declaring war on the war on drugs.
I didn't like it as much as Purple Rain, and that's a "sometimes" album for me. He's talented, but I like what he put out in the album after 1999.
I like Alanis. Her voice really sells it in some songs and is a little out of place in others. I wish I could put my finger on what that difference is. Anyway, 5 stars, would give head in a theater.
I've only listened to Light Flight so far and I adore how busy and energetic the instruments are. They play with soundstage and it's really fun. The string work is very good, albeit fatiguing. I'm now on Springtime Promises and I'm very distracted.
I don't get it? Some tracks were very good and some were repetitive and annoying. Maybe I need to listen to more Celtic folk.
I don't know what genre I thought The Who played, but it's absolutely wild that they kick-started prog rock when the Beatles were still going. I liked it, but it was a little too far from my expectations of prog rock.
I liked it a lot. I feel like I'm missing some cultural context, but the music is great. Synchronicity II is the best.
Simultaneously bland and catchy. The vocals are more nonsensical than Electric Six. This sounds like bar/party music, but you don't know anyone there and you're having fun anyway. I think I was too sober for this album.
Not for me. It's fine, but my tastes like outside of this work.
This isn't my speed, but it's good \"fun time\" music. This would play over a montage.
I keep finding more Jazz that I like. I had such difficulty looking on my own, but these from the list have been hits.
Great. I see what people like about David Bowie.
I think I get this one. Some tracks are experimental, as if each band member got to take an idea and run with it. What resluts from that approach is an album with a little something for everyone. You may not like all of the tracks, but there might be one that hits the nail on the head and is exactly what you're looking for. It's also very clear how old this album is. It sounds like early rock and roll. I find it much more endearing than million dollar babies.
Total miss for me. It was too samey, which is not inherently a bad thing. I just didn't like what that thing was.
I wanted to like this so much. It just... melted into the background and I stopped paying attention to it. Good music, but I had difficulty in actively listening to it.
Nice, easy listening. Simple and efficient and enjoyable.
One of my favorites. War Pigs is an awesome way to open the album and Fairies Wear Boots is a great way to end it. Planet Caravan was always my least favorite because it killed the momentum around Paranoid, but I think it's necessary when listening to the entire album.
