Masters of sampling. This album is often overlooked.

Pioneers of rap. Some of this is really good and fun. Other stuff is unbearable.

This is the soundtrack in hell. It was the worst thing I’ve ever heard. Some critics put it as high as top 60 of all time. Absolutely terrible. It wasn’t even on Spotify.

This deserves more time and attention than I gave it. It’s one I’ll come back to. Does anybody really like his voice? No one sounds like him, however. There’s no mistaking Dylan.

I’ve been waiting for this one. So good. Creative. Masterpiece.

This is my first album review for this project. Does it get any better than this? It's a perfect album. I dare you to name a band with four better players. These guys are geniuses and freakishly good.

This was the first time for me to really listen to Talking Heads. They do some cool stuff, but I don't love the singing on the record. Unconventional. Worth at least one listen.

Pure voice. Horns and strings. Soul. Crystal clear recording. Space to breathe. Wonderful in every way.

First time listening to Iron Maiden. Don’t ask me what took so long. This is hit or miss for me. Great guitar work but don’t love the slash metal. “Children of the Damned” was my favorite

First time listening it’s all right. Solid song writing I don’t understand stand all the fuss.

Oh yeah. Good listen. I knew the opener, of course, but everything was new. It’s a fun listen. Heart and soul.

Jazz fusion. Not my thing. It just sounded like he was playing with his little brother’s toy instruments.

Holy Toy Story! That’s all I can think of listening to this. It’s not bad, but it all just sounds cheesy to me.

There’s no mistaking The Pixies’ sound. I never would have guessed they were from Boston.

Classic. Don’t make rap like they used to.

Old school country. Too bad today’s country artists have diverted from what country music really is. I’d rather listen to this any day.

This needs to a 10 point scale. It’s a 7 (3.5). Never heard of these guys. They do some cool stuff.

Not my thing. I feel like I need acid and some glow sticks to really get into this, but that isn’t going to happen any time soon.

This was terribly boring and uncreative. No, thank you.

I’m very familiar with this one. Love it. So creative and loud. He’s a legend, a guitar god.

This is the soundtrack in hell. It was the worst thing I’ve ever heard. Some critics put it as high as top 60 of all time. Absolutely terrible. It wasn’t even on Spotify.

Cool is Miles Davis. Miles Davis is cool. Nevertheless, it’s not my thing.

Fathers of groove.

Guitar God. Incredible drumming. Bold as Love” is my new favorite song.

I can hear their influence on so much hip hop today. Love the energy and drive.

Too much gangsta shit for my taste.

The juxtaposition between orchestra and heavy metal is amazing. Beauty meets the beast. Love this.

No. This repetitive electronic music puts me in a bad mood. It goes no where and tells no story.

This album polarizes everyone it seems like. People either love it or hate it. The early 2000s was probably the weakest/worst rock music ever made. The whole rock/rap thing was bad. I’m so glad that’s done. Linkin Park’s songs all sound the same. It’s cool the first time and then gets really lame afterwards. I’m not siding with anyone.

I had never heard of this band before now. This has been the most pleasant surprise in this project so far. It really blew me away. I imagine it continue to get better as I keep listening.

This was exhausting to listen to. The singer sucks and makes this unbearable.

Good if you need to fall asleep.

Good drumming. Need to brush up on my African languages.

This was better than I thought it was going to be, but this band really does need a new singer. Put us out of our misery. We also need a ten-point scale to rate these albums. It’s not a 3, but it’s not a 2 either. 2.5 or 5/10.

Background music at best.

It’s hard to believe that this album is nearly 70 years old. It’s so clean and pure sounding. There is no other male singer with a more perfect voice. He’s the best. Classic yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Jazzy, laid back rapping. Cool. Not for me, though. Common is an exceptional composer, however.

Never been a big Bob Marley guy, but maybe it was because I wasn’t high enough. It is laid back, but it’s giving me beach vibes. But I don’t love the beach. Nothing wrong here. It’s just me.

This album didn’t age well. It’s sounds like old school video game soundtrack in some parts, but I can still hear so much of its influence on modern music. Thats says something.

This is really an incredible album. It caught me by surprise. It has a little bit of everything on here for every music taste. I’m impressed. I’m going to keep listening. Potential 5 but a 4 for now.

Dark and moody. Doesn’t hold up well. Coincidence that I just listened to New Order like two days ago??

These guys don’t really have a plan for creating music, which is fine if you’re in the band. However, when you subject other people to listen to the creation, you become a self-pretentious prick. This was not enjoyable, but maybe that was the idea. This is not one of the albums I needed to listen to.

If I had time, this one deserves another listen. I’d like to focus on lyrics.

Unmistakable. Classic. Clean. Pure of sound. She’s the Queen of Country.

This is not pleasing to listen to. When rappers purposefully make their voices weird just to be different is not something I’m in to. Is he talented? Yeah, I guess. I think I could make a similar album if I was given the tools to do so. Not impressed.

I was familiar with some of the songs here, and I was pleasantly surprised by the rest. This is good, and they had some really cool and heavy sounds that caught me off guard. Music was better then. Many artists are trying to do too much these days. I’d listen to this over Kendrick Lamar every single day.

This got more uninteresting as it went. It peaked in the first few and was downhill from there. Maybe I’m not gay enough to like it.

It’s jazz. It’s nice, I guess. It’s good for background music at dinnertime. I wouldn’t ever choose to listen to it on the road or in my headphones, though.

Some of these reviews are dumb. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Whatever. But to call this music “self-important” is stupid. These guys make solid rock music. Are they claiming to be the greatest? No. But I’m gonna say they’re my favorite band to ever come out of Canada.

I’d rather clean out my bathroom sink than listen to this again. It’s not the worst thing I’ve on here, though.

These guys were completely new to me. After listening, I can say that I was a little bit intrigued but mainly because I didn’t know what was going to happen next. Sometimes that can be a good thing, but this time it means that they lack identity. Clearly, they are flailing in the dark for something to hold on to.

This is what you get when a middle school concert band makes music for dogs. Dogs love it. Humans run from it.

The opening track was my favorite and I like this way more than I thought I would it was like ice tea on a hot day.

This was alright. Sounded like the first ska album.

Nothing more than background music for me.

Electronic music has never really been my jam - just too much repetition lyrically - but I enjoyed listening to this mostly. Maybe because it took me back to an exciting time in my life, though. I like thinking about how Fatboy Slim recorded this at his home. By the way, this album cover is 100% better than the shelves of records.

I’m really disappointed this album is on here. It sucks. It’s disrespectful to real musicians. It’s not even fun.

Not only did it change everything, it freaking rocks. Everybody playing in this album is off the charts, including Butch Vig.

I can’t believe I’ve never listened to this. It’s a nastier, dirtier version of The Stones - so raw. I love Iggy’s vocals. “I’m Wanna Be Your Dog” is my new favorite song.

Appropriate album today for the release of Taylor Swift’s new album. I don’t know much about either artist, but I can imagine Joni Mitchell having tremendous influence on TS. Anyway, this album did not impress me. I found it boring and her voice average.

Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it. I’m not gonna hate on a guy who makes nice sounding music from a past era. At least he’s not a copycat. The first song was my favorite.

The recording doesn’t hold up. It sounds really old. Nevertheless, this album is full of hits which everyone knows; however, most of them are covers. This album came out about the same time as some Beatles albums did with the same songs. Interesting. The Beatles did them better, though. I love the screams..too many?

Albums like this one are why I’m living this project so much. Billy Joel was a guy that I never listened to even though I knew I should but never took the time to do it. This has given me the opportunity to listen to albums like this. Billy Joel is great. His style of rock makes me feel sophisticated. I recognized a few of these songs, of course. Great stuff.

Another reason why I love this project. This is my kind of my music from my day. How have I never heard of these guys? I loved it. I didn’t love the singer. I could do better, but they’ve got some nasty licks. I’ll keep listening.

Modern country music…like plain oatmeal. It’s just not that good. “Slow Burn” is great with the banjo, though. “Rainbow” is good. I can leave the rest.

Why is everyone so high on this guy. He doesn’t have a great voice. He’s not rocking out. Yet, he’s everyone’s musical hero. Not mine, though.

I wonder what Nirvana would sound like today if they stayed a band. If they had, we might not have the Foo Fighters. Nevertheless, we are left with this album, which displays raw energy and talent it never gets old listening to this.

This is terrible. I’m embarrassed for them. They’re trying to make political statements that fall flat and are just plain annoying.

Paul, the master, is at work. Sit back and enjoy. I always wonder if this is what The Beatles would have sounded like had they not broken up. Maybe like this but better. “Nineteen Hundred and Seventy-five” might be the greatest closer of all time.

It’s fine. I was a bit surprised actually. I had heard a few of these songs but didn’t know the artist. She had more soul and energy than I was expecting, but I didn’t give this album enough attention. Maybe it didn’t deserve it. Maybe I’ll listen again. It’s me, not you.

Eh. More of a Biggie guy.

I’ve heard of this album but never listened. It sounded exactly like I thought it would…and that’s not a good thing. It’s just fine.

Moving along.

Won’t listen again but not bad. Just not my thing.

I’ve only ever listened to their greatest hits. I actually liked this better. Great album.

So good.

Different singer and this band is great, but his voice grates on me and can only be listened to in small doses.

Big things were happening in this area of rock. The Byrds were a big part of that. Nice music.

Good players. Not my thing. Background music at best.

I liked this. It’s 3.5 stars, but I think I’ll round up this time. The songs peaked my interest -more than background music. If they came on the radio I wouldn’t change the station.

Texas rockers! They’re really good at what they do.

Pioneers of rap. Some of this is really good and fun. Other stuff is unbearable.

Acoustic love songs with cuss words. Alright. It all sounds the same. One thing I will say is the quality of production is second to none. It sounds pure.

Funky. Stopped paying attention a few songs in.

This is great. Gonna listen more I did not have time to list en to a 2 hour album.

Typical electronic music. Lots of repetitive beats and lyrics. Maybe it would be cool if I was in a European club with huge speakers, glow sticks, and a drink or two.

I’ve wanted to listen to them. I had high hopes. They fell a little short.

He’s the master. Everything he touches is gold. Incredible sound.

This is not Radiohead’s best album. This is very experimental, but I still dig it. 4

Too many mfers and n-words for my taste. They are so angry.

It’s fine. Better than I thought it would be.

This album rocks. Love her or hate her, Courtney Love is all in on this.

This took me by surprise. So good. Great guitar work.

Fun music on a day I needed something like this.

Perfect. Gets a four just because it’s mostly covers. No one makes music like this anymore.

This was long. Too long. So much angriness.

I hate her voice. It’s really weak. This sounds like a bad rip-off of Lisa Loeb or Sheryl Crow. The only redeeming part of this album is the steel guitar that sounds great.

Masters of sampling. This album is often overlooked.

Can you be too funky? This music sounded very outdated. It doesn’t stand up.

Nothing bad here. Just hard for me to get to not it due to the language barrier.

This album surprised me. It had a little bit of a country twang that I really liked. It’s a 3.5, but I’ll round up.

Sounds like a band that hadn’t figured things out yet. Potential insane greatest lays there, untapped, but ready to burst. They play on this record as if scared to let loose. Let the lion out!

This is Duran Duran at their best. If you like this kind of music, this is the best you get. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t inspire me to do anything- not dance, not sing, not run through a brick wall. “Hungry Like a Wolf” is the strongest song on the album.

So much different and more mature (full?) than the last S & G album I listened to. I liked this one better.

No. I didn’t need to listen to this before I die. Bad “singing.” Nothing unique or interesting here. Why?

I really expected more out of this. Their one big hit just gets stuck in my head and not in a good way. I just hear No Doubt, and I would rather listen to No Doubt…and that’s not saying much.

Just a solid rock group. Often overlooked but never disrespected. These guys are killing it.

Some classics on here. Some I didn’t know. Some hits, some misses.

I miss this Coldplay. Every song is solid. I want this again.

This Stooges album didn’t have the same energy or uniqueness as the last one I listened to. This is a band that the listener would benefit from seeing the perform live. They are made for that.

I think Dolly’s voice is the strongest of the three or at least the one I recognize the most. Im glad they were finally able to make this album together. Would have loved to have seen them work in the studio together.

Any band with a bunch of moody spoken word is suspect. I would have liked to have seen the reunion tour where they play this album, but I don’t want to listen to it again. Maybe I will when I listen 898 more albums.

Bruce - the poster child of American rock and roll. Lyrically, he’s hard to beat, but his voice leaves much to be desired. He stands for the common man, and common men love him for it. Iconic album cover too.

I can’t imagine anybody spinning this record because they love it - Maybe her mom. It’s not terrible, it’s just not what anyone wants to listen to. Her voice isn’t bad, but I’d rather listen to just about anything else.

I’m going to go kill myself now.

Every song is perfection. Their worst song is the best song other bands only wish they could make.

I was in college when this came out, and it blew people away. They were shocked and appalled and then he was White on top of that. Eminem changed rap forever with this album. Love him or hate him, he is an innovator and belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of rappers. For me, he’s too much.

Sounds like show tunes to me. It’s very dramatic -over the top. Did he just trill a note? No thanks.

Pop music. Over produced. Some people love it. This is the first time I’ve ever purposefully listened to Madonna. It sounded exactly how I thought it would.

This album is alright. 3.5 but I’ll round up because it’s better than Madonna.

Trent Rezner is a spooky guy with incredible ideas. Didn’t he record this album in Celio St. where the Manson murdered took place? Industrial metal is not my thing, but I can get into for a bit. This album was unlike anything heard when it came out. It’s the soundtrack in hell, and not in a bad way.

Political jazz music. Nah. It’s like combining squash and oatmeal. Not a good combination for me.

This deserves more time and attention than I gave it. It’s one I’ll come back to. Does anybody really like his voice? No one sounds like him, however. There’s no mistaking Dylan.

This is not Blur’s best, but because they are better musicians, Blur became better.

I knew the name but never listened to her except for maybe a radio hit somewhere a long time ago. I could get behind this. I was thinking production pop rock, but I was wrong. It’s a 3.5, but I just got laid listening to it so it’s a 4. I’ll listen again and the good times will roll.

Middle school beginner music?

I’ve never heard so many flute solos. He has the market on that so that is something. I really liked it.

American rock and roll. Put him in there with Springsteen and Petty. This is better, though.

This made me think of a German U2 with fewer lyrics. It was like eating celery-not good, not bad.

Nah.

Say “yes” to Yes. I know, it’s cheesy, but I enjoyed the meandering journey of these songs. Better than rap any day.

This should not be on the list. It’s terrible. The dude can’t sing. It’s like listening to my dog wail. It’s disrespectful of my time. Who’s got 3 hours to listen to this garbage. Be better.

Beautiful really. Unfortunately, these songs end up sounding all the same to me. Maybe it’s the language barrier.

I don’t understand the hype about these guys. This is back ground music at its best, which is what it was to day.

This is really cheesy Van Halen knock off music. But weren’t Van Halen a bunch of knock-offs? So what is this really?

This sounds exactly like I thought it would. I didn’t need to spend an hour of my life listening.

I don’t get it. This music from other parts of the world all sounds the same to me.

Perfection. Anybody who says anything different needs to be committed to an insane asylum.

Love Stevie Wonder’s voice! Not my favorite of his albums but enjoyable.

Experimental for sure. Never heard this before. It’s work to listen when melodies are absent. 2.5.

My favorite band of all time. Love em or hate em. For me, it was love at first listen. Billy’s lyrics, his passion to always do something different and great, Jimmy’s drums, the softness, the heaviness, the rage, the art…it all works for me. This album is a masterpiece. It’s all different and beautiful. They are odd, and that’s what makes them legendary.

There is nothing special or groundbreaking or unique or even fun about this music. It’s immature and weak - something middle school boys would write and find entertaining. Lyrics and structure are severely limited. Thankfully it was only 15 minutes long.

There are some legitimate jams on this album, but it’s 2 or 3 tracks too long - trim the fat. It’s not a 4 but it’s not a 3. I guess that makes it a 3.5. Some songs have not aged well.

Started off strong but went downhill from there. You can only make the same strange guitar sounds so many times.

Karen O is the ultimate rock star. Attitude. Flare. Style. Sexiness. She brings it on every song on this album. The bass lines kill and the band is cooking.

This the Beastie Boys best album. It could be a 5 if they got rid of all the B sides and saved them for a reissued box set. But it doesn’t get any better than “Sabotage” and “Get it together” back to back.

He’s like a miniature Thom Yorke singing sad songs in his basement. I’d give it a 3 if I didn’t have to go to YouTube and listen to commercials.

I’ve never listened to this album all the way through in one sitting - the way it was meant to be listened to. Too make up for my previous failure, I listened three times in a row. If anyone talks badly about this album I guess it’s just because they don’t like rock and roll or they had just have bad taste. What can you do? Can’t make everyone happy. It’s a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Fun. It kept my interest more than some non-English speaking artists.

I had only listened to their greatest hits before this. I was disappointed to find that nearly all of their “greatest hits” were found on this album. They hit gold with this album, but have done absolutely nothing since then. It’s odd that this album came around right before grunge. It doesn’t fit with anything else of its era. I guess we can it good, clean rock-n-roll.

I don’t get it. Was it the same song ten times in a row. Stick to writing poetry not set to lame music.

When this album first came out it was on fire. Everyone loved it - critics and fans. I never listened. It wasn’t my thing. I wish I been more open-minded when it came to music. But here I am now, 26 years later, and I finally listened. It’s nice but I don’t connect.

It’s a classic for some. I like them. I don’t love them. I never thought they did something so great everyone should love them for it. When Kedis is singing about being hard, it’s weird and awkward. I wouldn’t want to listen to those kind of lyrics with other people. “Under the Bridge” is by far my favorite.

This is why people don’t like jazz. This ruins it for anyone else. This sounds like a junior high band warming up. Nothing to see here.

Sounds like the Pixies. I’ll round up from 3.5.

Australian REM. Perfectly adequate.

Epitome of cool. What would I give to hear this live today.

I’ve been waiting for this one. So good. Creative. Masterpiece.

Two Pink Flores albums in one week! I must be living right. I’d kill to see this band live.

The only knock I ever read about this album is that it falls short on the concept. Who cares? It’s a masterpiece - The Beatles at their creative peak. “A Day in the Life” is unbelievable.

Scottish reggae. Weird.

Not the biggest fans of the blues but the dude can play. I saw it first hand at Bonnaroo. Legend.

Epitome of laid back. Everything he does seems really easy, effortless.

This album goes from a believer’s prayer to disgusting lyrics. I’ll put this in same hypocritical category as Destiny Child. There’s a special place in music hell for this album.

I’ve heard great things about this band that I’ve never listened to. This was a disappointment. Maybe I should have started with a different album.

There has never been a band that matured as much as the Beatles in there sound and style. Lot’s of covers in this one, but the talent is there. It is fun to think that they were about to take over the world.

This was great. Never even heard of it before.

The second half of this was better than the first half, but I was bored through the entire thing. Wannabe Bob Dylan is all I heard.

This was my first Rolling Stones album in this project and it was a great one. “Wild horses” This is blues rock and roll at its finest.

Not really my thing but it sounds clean and they’re talented.

How can it get anything higher than a 3? It just is just fine. That’s it. It’s pleasant to listen to - background music. It doesn’t have one song that sounds out. They don’t do anything that hasn’t been done. No song stands out on it; this, no singles.

The King of Rock and Roll gets his start with this album full of covers by mostly Black artists. I feel like it’s cheating. Don’t get me wrong, Elvis was special. I’d give it a 5 if he wrote the songs originally. I guess the question is, “Where would we be today if it wasn’t for him?” Love the energy. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the studio.

Good week with two Rolling Stones albums. Killer band. I like them more and more the more I listen. I’m familiar with the greatest hits, but their entire catalog is worth a listen. Hard to pick which album I liked better. Solid either way.

Sexy background music. That’s it. Not impressed.

Punk music made by Trent Reznor is what it sounds like. This was pretty terrible.

Rocked then. Rocks now. Jack White is a true rock and roll star.

I know everyone loves these guys, and they are supposedly rap pioneers. I’m not that impressed. The music is not timeless.

Classic blues.

What is it people see in this guy? I don’t get it. He can’t sing. He doesn’t do anything spectacular on the guitar. Am I missing something?

The kings of no rock music do it again.

I really loved this album. I had maybe heard of this band before, but I had definitely never listened to them. The guitar sounds are incredible. With some listens it could honestly be a five for me, but it’ll have to settle for a four for now.

VH at their finest, which isn’t really that great. Most overhyped band in history? I’ll give them a 4 just because if you put Eddie in any other band, they might be better.

This one deserved more of my attention. I need to revisit it another day.

This sounds like circus music from hell. No one really likes this, do they?

It’s music.

I don’t give 5’s often, but when I do, I give them to MJ.

Rock on. Neil Peart is a rock god.

I like it. Sounds like 60s rockers having a good time.

I’ve tried and tried to get into this, but I never can. Outside of the hits, it just falls short. It seems too disjointed, so I never know what is happening.

Pretty cool for electronic music, which isn’t that cool.

Moody, angsty…I love it.

Are all these jazz records towing in me? Don’t know but this was alright. Sax sounds great.

I’m totally gangsta when I listen to this.

Not his best but pretty good still.

I knew one of these! Surprise surprise! The rest was blah.

“Karma Chameleon “ was stuck in my 10-year-old’s the rest of the day after listening to this album with me. I hate that he was tortured like that. The rest of the album isn’t bad. The sad I’m cover kills me.

Classic. It’s great. Something is missing, though. None of The Beatles were ever as good without their band mates who helped them create magic. It’s close, but close only counts in horseshoes, grenades, and slow dancing.

It could be a four star album with a live drummer.

Started slowly but gained traction as I went. It deserves more of my attention. Sounds like the raw and unabashed Nirvana we all love. I’m gonna put this one of the shelf and come back to it with the hopes the three grows.

They’re a band. They made some music. The end.

Couple hits in here. That’s about all I want to hear from this band.

No. This is unpleasant to listen to.

It all sounds the same to me.

Rock and roll has come a long way since this. This just seems right. Like your mom’s meat loaf - can’t go wrong.

5 stars for the cover art alone? Yes. Or “Golden Sumbers”? Yes. Ringo’s drum solo? Yes. John’s madness on “I Want You”? Yes. Paul’s ditty to the Queen? Yes. George’s guitar tone on “Something”? Yes. Is it perfect? No, but only because I wish it would never end.

I’m trying to think of something good and to be positive, but I just can’t.

I don’t understand the reggae vibe, and it turns me off. This album was a first and a last for me.

Perfect for a rainy day. I could have sworn I was in the jazz club with him.

Keith Moon is a beast and he might be at his best on this album. Every song is rocking.

This album was hard to find and then went on and on and on, but I listened. I would not let it defeat me. The director songs were cool and then it was just same ol same ol. Bright spot: great horns.

This was never on my radar, but I loved it. No one makes music like this any more. It really makes me appreciate the recordings we do have. I wonder how much great music was lost before it was preserved.

This is the most overrated album by the most overrated band of all time. What do people see in this? It’s just boring rock music, real boring. It makes me feel bad for people who think this is as good as it gets.

This guy has influenced so many of the artists I like today, but he doesn’t do anything for me. If I was sitting around the campfire with him droning on with guitar, I’d have to drink a lot more.

This was just weird and not in a cool way.

This does not hold up well, but Metallica has a special place in my heart. Although the songs are outdated and are too long, they did have a significant influence in heavy metal music.

This is the voice I hear in my head after I bang my head through the wall. It just hurts. I like some of the guitar work, but, good gosh, find a new singer.

This has a certain darkness to it that I like. You have to be in the right mood, but Halloween is coming.

Never listened to these guys before today. I know they are iconic. I was expecting something I didn’t like, but this was tolerable. I felt kind of like I was at a circus, which is not bad.

His falsetto voice wore on me, but I enjoyed the horn. But not enough to give it more than a 2. I guess I’m just not funky enough.

No melodies. No choruses. No fun. I always think I’m going to like these guys, but then I’m bored to tears. Ruined a perfect fall afternoon drive.

Is this the most overrated band of all time? Boring riffs. Boring drums. They had the rely on gimmicks to keep people interested, but even that falls short for me. Better than experimental psychedelic rock music at least.

This was fine. It’s another lame name for a band that I don’t want to listen to. Heavily influenced by the Beatles but who is not.

Well, there’s definitely a vibe here. Need some whiskey, a bike, a dirty bar, a scanky hoe, black leather, and a lot of facial hair and I’ll fit right in. It ALL sounds the same.

This band is just trying to give everyone a migraine. I could do better by myself in a metal shop. This band was ahead of NIN. Why torture us with this one?

They have an audience, but I’m not in it. Sorry, fellas. Keep being punky.

This was a nice surprise. I heard bits and pieces of other bands I really like in their music. I’m feeling generous today.

I lost my soul listening to this uninspired music.

No one can sing like her. No one. She’s in a class by herself.

It gets a 5 for “Purple Rain” alone. Prince is a freak in every sense. Miss that guy.

They’re doing some interesting things that remind me a bit of minor league Radiohead. I won’t listen again, though.

Rock and Roll lives!

Beautiful. Not usually what I listen to, but it sets the tone for the evening.

I’ve never liked this band, but this album was better than I thought it was going to be. Just don’t like the singer.

I expected more out of this one. It was pretty lad back.

I like the rawness. For a time, these guys were on top of the world. I miss those days when rock was still alive.

I feel like a really cool hipster listening to these guys. Got some definite Radiohead influence in there. It’s cool, but not cool enough for me.

I feel like a hipster listening to these guys. Finally, I’m really cool. It’s great ambient noise. Beautiful. Put me right to sleep.

No one can destroy r-n-r. If that was the intention, this album falls flat on its face. Electronic music is not meant to be listened to. It’s unbearable. However, you turn it up as loud as it will go and dance, then that’s a different story. But not if you have any taste whatsoever.

Masterpiece.

Albums like this are the reasons why I decided to do this project. I should have listened to this a long time ago. It is great. David Bowie is a legend.

I liked this more than I thought I would.

No. This is not enjoyable for me.

This was not what I was expecting at all. I haven’t listened to much Beck except for his mid-90s stuff, but this was great with a hint country in there. Sad and moving music. I liked it just enough.

EJ is amazing.

I’m not sure why people like this album. The drums are tingy. The vocals are drown out. It sounds like white noise. I can’t imagine seeing them live and having any idea what they were doing.

This one takes me back to the good old days. Great album with fine song writing and passion powering the performance. It’s too bad these guys hate each other. They could do something more.

I love these guys. Some might say they are knockoffs, but they captured a popular sound and produced fun music. This is not their best album, but it’s still solid.

Chill. I could get into this if I really invested in it and if I was wide awake.

Willie’s voice is indistinguishable. I love the covers, and the originals are good too.

Had to go to YouTube…and for good reason. This was a chore in every definition of the word.

80s written all over it. It doesn’t hold hold up well. It’s a bit theatrical for me, but there’s some new stuff that at least holds my attention for a few minutes.

Just saw them in concert recently and they played this whole album. I thought it would be better. Adults playing immature punk music. It’s a little embarrassing. Still, it took me back to some good high school days.

I expected more from this. This was pretty boring.

Saw these guys in concert once. This album is pretty famous with lots a of guests. Gotta be in the right mood for the hoedown music.

Congratulations. You are the most boring rock band of all time.

“Scarborough Fair” is beautiful, but these guys are pansies. I imagine them in a fight getting it handed to them by Metallica. I feel super wimpy after listening and now I need to do something manly like chop wood or fart and drink beer.

Most annoying band ever?

Sounds like the music of that era. I like it, but not enough to give it more than a 3. It probably deserves more love than that, but I need to immerse myself in it more.

So good. Almost a 5. Jack White is a beast on the guitar. Probably my favorite album from them.

This was good. No cussing on a rap album. What?? Unheard of. This took me by surprise.

These guys are crazy. The distinct sound makes them great. I got to see them recently in concert but without Dave Navarro. They are the definition of dysfunctional.

Hard to believe that a just a few years earlier music sounded completely different. These guys definitely changed the scene…and not really for the better.

I’m a fair weather RHCP fan. I like most of the hits, but I’m fine to leave the other stuff behind. This was a solid comeback album for them, though.

I remember buying this CD, and I still love it. Yes, it’s over the top, but I love the guitar riffs. Bellamy’s voice is incredible. Their energy is hard to beat.

Middle of the road. Sounds like a mash-up of several 60s bands. Nothing special to see here, folks.

It’s a 5. I’ll fight you if you say otherwise. Rocks.

For me and my generation, this is the worst band hands down. It’s not even close.

I listened to this in the middle of nowhere Arkansas in a log cabin while making an apple pie. That’s probably never happened before. I liked the first three songs, but then it lost me. It went free m cool and fresh to redundant dance jazz. Weird.

Nothing to see here, folks.

Kurt’s voice in this performance is incredible. I love this dude if Nirvana that no one had seen before or even knew was possible. The tone of the songs is perfect. I’ve listened to this album countless times, but I’ve never watched it. I may need to do that.

Punk music requires punk rock taste, which I just do not have. Best song on the album was the last one.

This one took me back to some great times. Every song rocks. They never reached this level of success again.

This music is meant to be listened to with headphones and then get lost in it. The layers of sound are incredible. One of the most innovative bands of all time. If I have a negative criticism, it’s that Thom Youree’s vocals are covered up at times and he drones in and in and I don’t know what he’s saying. The music makes up for it, though.

Not a 4 but not a 3. I’ll round up because he has a great nickname and represents blue collar ‘Merica. Some great piano makes me feel happy.

Listening to this was like pressing a drill against my head for an hour. Tough singer. No range.

Bongo covers. Am I supposed to be impressed or entertained by bongo covers? If I wanted that I’d just go downtown in any major U.S. city to listen to the guys beat on buckets.

Green Day again. Kings of pop punk, I guess. If Green Day is good at anything it’s bringing people with bad music taste together. Is this really what the people want? A pop punk band full of mediocre musicians making political statements? One bright spot is “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” with the cool guitar.

I was expecting disco music. This was Beatlish. Not bad.

If I’ve heard one disco song, I’ve heard them all.

Music for acid trips.

I’m not even going try to get behind this. I don’t like it because it’s boring, and he can’t sing.

Very interesting. Just last week I had Nirvana’s MTV’s Unplugged album, which features three Meat Puppets’ songs. Without Nirvana, no one has even heard of these guys. There’s a reason for that. I’ll give them credit for some decent ideas that were executed poorly.

Nothing memorable. Nothing terrible.

It seems like everywhere I go I see his name, but I’ve never heard his music until now. It has just never interested me, I guess. Solid rock and roll. Won’t listen to him before someone I like, though.

I really loved this. I have never heard it before, but everything was right about it today.

One of the greats and his greatest album. I’d give him a 5 if he wrote his own songs.

Kind of cool. Kind of boring.

Jam band. Maybe my least favorite kind of music. Well, maybe not but close.

This guy again. Lucky me - twice in one week. This one is definitely weaker. He sounds like a whiney teenager that needs a good whipping in this one.

I had never heard this before except for the one song and some bits that Eminem sampled. I never knew that Janis Joplin and Brittany Howard sounded so similar. That’s a good thing.

Good gosh. This was terrible. “The River” was the only redeeming feature. So bland. Where’s the soul?

Turned it on and immediately tuned it out.
