5/5
amazing album, i wanna say hearing g perfection, black sabbath have such an amazing style and an amazing voice, would recommend this album to anyone, changes gave
e goosebumps too.
The Avalanches
4/5
i’d give this like a 7
i like the concept of it flowing into itself song after song, making it seem like a really different experience, wasn’t expecting their style to be like how it is, very unusual listen, enjoyable though.
Crosby, Stills & Nash
4/5
i thought this album had some good songs, good to listen to, a few forgettable songs but on the overall it was good
7/10
Lupe Fiasco
3/5
it was a good album with some good songs but nothing stood out a lot to me and i doubt i’d be going back any time soon.
6/10
Violent Femmes
3/5
it was decent, few good songs few not the best
Chicago
4/5
it was a great album with some really good easy to listen to tracks, some fell a bit too long and i felt they dragged on too much but i still really enjoyed it
i’ve been meaning to listen to chicago for a while so im glad i got this recommendation.
i like their style a lot, very distinct, ill be interested to hear more from them.
Simon & Garfunkel
5/5
beautiful album, very raw and consistent, title track was absolutely phenomenal too. not a single bad song i’d say, really enjoyed it, would definitely be listening to it again.
Eminem
4/5
some good songs, a lot i didn’t really care for, i liked his humour on this album, especially on the song guilty conscience. was a good album overall, thought of giving it a 7.
Goldfrapp
1/5
i’m not gonna lie, i don’t like this
her voice is pretty nice, but i don’t enjoy this album, i don’t think the melodie’s are interesting, i respect the ideas but this isn’t really gravitating towards me very much.
Maxwell
4/5
relaxing to listen to, good voice
The Waterboys
4/5
this has some really good songs but a few forgettable songs.
i really do think i have a thing for folk rock, it always sounds great in my eyes.
i liked the instrumentals a lot, a lot going on in them.
some songs dragged out a bit long but i had no issue with the songs themselves.
Judas Priest
5/5
this was full of bangers, it was really heavy and i enjoyed it all the way through, i would listen to this again and it makes me want to listen to more fros the band.
King Crimson
4/5
this had some good songs, i really enjoyed The Book Of Saturday and Easy Money, the first track was quite long and i didn’t think it met the quality of the rest of the album but overall i’d say it was a good listen
strong 7/light8
Soft Machine
2/5
i find long tracks like this tend to very off a lot of attention but i was kept pretty interested. i find these are songs i wouldn’t go back to but the listen was okay overall.
i like the style, progressive jazz-rock sounds pretty good but i think the only thing that puts this down for me is the length of tracks.
light 5
i’m giving 2 stars as i wouldn’t want to go back to this album in any time soon.
Stan Getz
3/5
relaxing to listen to, i don’t have any problem with this album, would be going back to it
strong 6/light 7
The Stooges
4/5
when i had to listen to Funhouse by The Stooges earlier in the generator, i didn’t really like it and i didn’t know how to feel about listening to another Stooges record, but this was a great record, i was not bored at all during this album, all songs were punchy and rugged and o really liked the songs. this makes me want to listen to more of the band and even relisten to Funhouse.
i feel this album was better to listen to to get into the band rather than Funhouse
strong 8
The Jam
3/5
this album is decent, i respect all the songs individually but they don’t stand out to me to wanna listen to them again, it’s not bad at all though, they’re a good punk rock band but im just not gravitating towards them right now.
light 7
Led Zeppelin
5/5
i really like the change they made on this album to folk rock, some really great tracks on this, i don’t have an issue with any tracks, i think this thing is great
decent/strong 8
Pulp
4/5
had some bangers, wasn’t in the mood during the first few tracks so i relistened after finishing it and it sounded good, common people and disco 2000 are my favourites, glad i listened just for those songs.
decent 8
Killing Joke
3/5
i respect each song individually but the album wasn’t amazing. it was decent, i don’t think i’d go back to any songs but some songs were pretty good.
Eminem
4/5
this album was pretty good, some good tracks, it’s kind of annoying that literally every track is 5+ minutes long, i feel the choruses are a bit too repetitive and some tracks don’t stand out to me too much, that’s all i’d say is bad about the record, the album was good overall tho
light 7
Otis Redding
4/5
this was great, soulful, beautiful voice, really good tracks, that’s all you need, the music was great and that’s all i needed.
strong 8
Holger Czukay
1/5
i didn’t enjoy this at all really. the songs were too long and really uninteresting, i just thought some parts weren’t good at all, and i can’t say a time during the listen i was impressed at all, this wasn’t worth my time and i think there’s some albums way more deserving of being on the list rather than this.
Jacques Brel
2/5
good voice, not bad music, but i wouldn’t listen again, i respect the influence it has on people like Bowie but i overall don’t gravitate towards music like this
Todd Rundgren
3/5
this album was fun and interesting keeping me intrigued with very different individual short tracks, some tracks were really pretty and some were just fun to listen to, i’m interested in what this guy makes and i’d be interested to see more from him, ill be re listening to this album soon, some tracks fell a bit boring
7/10
Electric Light Orchestra
4/5

great debut from the band, great tracks, great style before they switched to the folk rock. 8/10

classic album, no skips, 9/10
CHIC
4/5
great album, really funky tracks that were really fun to listen to

funky tracks overall but not very memorable and the ending song is so long, i enjoyed the first 2 tracks most
Willie Nelson
4/5
this was a really pleasant listen actually, i gave his last album red headed stranger a 1 which i regret as its not bad at all i just don’t gravitate towards country, but this album was really good, i thought it was relaxing and nice to listen to
Todd Rundgren
4/5
this was pretty good but a bit long, i liked his other record but i think this one is better, idk how to describe it to be honest, but i think it was worth the listen

The Flaming Lips

Morrissey
4/5
fire album, amazing lyricism, first solo morrissey i’ve heard and looking forward to more

3/5
good voice, some songs were pretty good but it’s not something i’d usually wanna listen to, i can understand the appeal but it was just decent to me
Madonna
3/5
album wasn’t bad, i’d just say it was decent, the title track was good, and there was an empowering feel in the music, overall the music didn’t blow me away but i respect madonna for her influence
Carole King
4/5
good voice, nice relaxing songs, but most songs sound very similar, they mostly start the same with an opening piano chord which makes each song start out sounding similar, but i have no problem with the songs other than that
The Yardbirds
3/5
this record wasn’t bad, a collection of shorter tracks that were just nice to listen to, i found the album lacked a substance
Big Star
3/5
this was a decent album, the femme fatale cover was cool, the songs sounded good and i don’t have anything against them, just didn’t keep me very interested but it wasn’t bad by any means
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
this is geniunely one of the best rap albums of all time, there’s no skips, the way it follows through with each song is beautiful, the storyline to it is perfect, the theme is achieved perfectly, you really can get to understand what he’s rapping about easily and he does it with ease, 10/10
Buffalo Springfield
3/5
decent album, i’ll have to look more into these guys, i enjoyed a handful of tracks

Goldfrapp
3/5
after hearing their debut Felt Mountain, i didn’t think these guys were a very good band, this album is better than their debut in every aspect, a big improvement, it wasn’t an amazing album in my opinion but i enjoyed it a lot more than the debut.
Metallica
3/5
really sick live album, the performance sounds insane, really long performance, sounded great, i wouldn’t listen to this much but it’s interesting to hear what their concerts sounded like

3/5
decent album with some solid tracks, didn’t have any issue with it, bit the best from neil young but wasn’t bad by any means
The Residents
1/5
pure dog water, this was probably the worst album ive ever heard, the vocals were awful, the lyrics were disgusting, the melodies were boring or didn’t work. it was as if they tried to make an album this bad because it seems hard to make an album this bad, if give this a 0/10 if i could, what possessed the creator of this list to put this on here.
Elis Regina

The Zombies

Sister Sledge
4/5
this had some great hits i enjoyed it a lot, i didn’t know these guys made some of the songs on this
Keith Jarrett
3/5
i wasn’t expecting to enjoy this much but i did, the fact this guy played the piano live for 26 minutes straight on the first track is really impressive, i haven’t heard a piano sound so good in a while, it’s like it had personality, it was really good
FKA twigs
3/5
great voice, interesting ideas, i’d probably listen again, wasn’t too bad
Fishbone
4/5
this album shocked me, it was full of interesting songs that were really enjoyable, the intro had such a great energy that got me in a good mindset for the rest of the album, ma and pa was a great catchy tune too and many other songs kept the standards high, great record and happy to have come across it.
Tracy Chapman
4/5
this was a nice album to listen to, the intro had the right amount of energy to get me invested for the rest of the album, the second track Fast Car was amazing too, all songs held up with standard and it was a nice listen overall.
Public Image Ltd.
3/5
it was weird but had an interesting sound, religion was a cool concept of a song, the title track was good and annalisa was great too, decent album overall.

this album had some great raw old school rap tracks, great album and great message, insane influence
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
solid groovy album, nice listen
Silver Jews
3/5
nice chill album, songs were good to be fair, his voice was good but it seemed pretty tired which is probably what the band was going for, i’ll probably relisten again, good first listen
Happy Mondays
3/5
some good tracks but felt a bit boring at times, decent overall, mad cyril was my favourite
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
bangers across the board, bootleg was amazing, really like this one
Lou Reed
2/5
all respect to lou reed i love the work he did with the velvet underground, but this album was really boring i found it hard to stay focused and it was a challenge for me to listen to the last 3 as they’re all over 5 minutes long.
The Cult
4/5
great songs, really enjoyed
Paul Simon
4/5
i was looking forward to this album, i didn’t know what to really expect, it was different to what i would thought, you can call me al and graceland are both amazing songs, i found the album had this semi african style brought into it through the whole thing, i really enjoyed it overall
Pere Ubu
1/5
this is pretty bad
Goldie
2/5
this album was way too long man, it was hard to get through the whole thing, the 20 minute intro was a challenge too, a lot of it sounded the same and really basic sounding, i would really recommend it
Genesis
3/5
sounded decent but songs were too long
Prince
3/5
some bangers at the start, quite a lengthy album with a bit too much repetition, nice listen tho
Leonard Cohen
2/5
sounded okay but was fairly uninteresting in my opinion
Kanye West
4/5
this was a banger of an album, this is a great opener to experimental rap music for people who aren’t familiar with it, it’s a great sounding album with some great tracks, the end of new slaves really doesn’t get old

Santana
3/5
wasn’t what i was expecting at all, similar artist was lenny kravitz on spotify so i didn’t think it would sound like this, it was like a latin rock jazz fusion sounding thing, it was good overall id say, not something i’d listen to but i enjoyed it, might have to listen again to see if it grows on me

3/5
heavy punk rock, can’t go wrong

i never really got into green day, i always thought the sound was corny, but this album was nice to listen to, i really enjoyed the tracks, especially the more popular ones like american idiot, boulevard of broken dreams and when september ends, lot of songs were pretty long on it but as the album went, it was really good overall
The Beta Band
4/5
i wasn’t really expecting the album to be psychedelic but that is one of my favourite genres, it was a good listen overall, the intro was great i’m sure most people would recognise it, worth a good listen in my opinion
Dr. Octagon
3/5
the rap style on this was really fun and sketchy to listen to i thought it was interesting, i haven’t heard anything like it before, it was a bit long but it ran well

4/5

The Icarus Line
2/5
noisy, i didn’t mind the sound of this to be fair, i found there wasnt many stand outs in my opinion and it just felt a bit dragged on, not a bad listen overall though just wouldn’t listen to it again, pretty mediocre

5/5
this could potentially be my favourite floyd album, it was dark side of the moon but this was amazing, the 8 minute guitar introduction and then those stellar vocals on the first 5 parts of shine on you crazy diamond was insane, welcome to the machine was an intense second track to get into with a really interesting instrumental, very eerie in some aspects, have a cigar grew on me, really groovy song, really enjoyable, with you were here is one of the best songs of all time, it all makes sense on that song, and the outro is enough to blow anyone away, i love how the intro and outro are tied together. amazing album, nearly perfect, a benchmark in history.

The Mothers Of Invention
3/5
quite a strange album, got it right after sgt pepper, probably designed to do that much is fun, songs were proper weird though, didn’t hate it, didn’t adore it

Genesis
4/5
insane concept album, really cool progression
The Vines
3/5
decent album, good sounds on it but it gets a bit repetitive

George Michael
4/5
good voice, did really enjoy this to be fair
Primal Scream
3/5
good album, good songs and good instrumentation
Black Sabbath
5/5
this is the eerier album from paranoid, so good, more raw and really showcases the band very well, the first song sets the scene perfectly and all songs go together so well, i think it might be my favourite sabbath album, amazing, rest in peace ozzy
Grizzly Bear
4/5
dreamy album, great instrumentals, really good
The Undertones
3/5
the voice is a. bit annoying at times but i think it’s a good album, some good tunes on it
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
decent record, songs just sounded similar but had some good tracks
Massive Attack
4/5
good production on this, enjoyed a few tracks and a really good vibe
Moby Grape
4/5
really well produced record and some great tracks, really good rock and roll, only thing is that the songs were all on separate albums and 2 songs weren’t on apple music, so not very accessible as a whole
Dizzee Rascal
2/5
some good tracks but generally an annoying sound, some songs really grinded in me but i can respect it as a cornerstone for grime music
Sepultura
4/5
some bangers in this, great songs, great instrumentation and vocals, really enjoyed it
Devendra Banhart
4/5
i don’t listen to much folk, but this is a really cool experimental folk record, the short songs make it easy to digest, the vocals were great and the raw instrumentation sounded great too, really good
Suede
4/5
this is a very underrated britpop record, i think it’s one of the best ever, the quality is undeniable, the vocals are amazing and really ethereal instruments, very good
Buena Vista Social Club
3/5
some amazing influential music here, i enjoyed it and can respect it as a cultural landmark
Elliott Smith
4/5
really great melancholy album, great structure and instrumentals, good vocals, i’ll have to listen to more elliott smith
Beck
4/5
very different to becks other albums but a really nice change of style that suits him, really lovely strings and vocals, delving into themes of heartbreak, very good album will be interested to listen again
Bobby Womack
4/5
groovy, good songs
Steely Dan
4/5
i’ve always known of this album but never listened to it, it’s really good, some songs i recognised form samples like Peg being sampled by De La Soul for Eye Know, some really good tracks tho, very good, different to some of the other Steely Dan tracks i’ve heard
Brian Wilson
4/5
i enjoyed the short tracks, the beach boys style is just undeniably enjoyable, it feels like a messier album in a good way, very good, rest in peace brian wilson
Kings of Leon
4/5
decent record, first kings of leon album i’ve heard, it’s strange hearing the vocalist sing a song that isn’t use somebody, i enjoyed it overall, good stuff
Pink Floyd
5/5
this album is fantastic, it goes so fast even with the longer tracks, it’s structured perfectly and its pacing is on point, from the start to finish, a pivotal album in progressive rock, so good
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
i like the peppers, some great tracks on this record as well, but it’s so long and engaging with it as a full record is difficult, i feel some songs can be considered filler, but the quality of most songs is good, it’s good if you love the band, but there are better albums
Grateful Dead
2/5
decent songs but they were long as hell, wasn’t that engaged, not for me personally
Spiritualized
3/5
good music, few long songs but sounded great
Meat Loaf
3/5
i’ve heard this a lot from childhood thanks to my dad, it’s a cool rock opera but it’s not very unique in my opinion, good songs but it’s nothing i haven’t heard before
The Flaming Lips
4/5
this surprised me, it went hard, all songs were great, i loved the emotions i felt when listening to it, great instrumentation and the vocalist has a nice unique voice, very good
The Rolling Stones
3/5
nice sounding classic rock and roll music, very good first record by the band
Arcade Fire
3/5
i feel this is underrated in their discography as it’s overshadowed by funeral and the suburbs but this had some gems on it that i enjoyed, not as good as the 2 mentioned but has good qualities to it
Fela Kuti
3/5
a really interesting fusion between afro-beat and jazz, i enjoyed the ideas and tracks overall, took me a bit of time to listen due to the long tracks but the quality is very good
David Bowie
5/5
this album is insane, amazing singer songwriter record, some small parts of the album don’t make it perfect, i’m not a big fan of kooks, but other than that i can listen to this all, day, debatably my favourite by bowie
American Music Club
2/5
very hard to access as an album, not on streaming, sounded good, enjoyed a couple tracks, not bad but i won’t be listening to it again
Rufus Wainwright
4/5
some songs on this were beautiful, very good album, art teacher was amazing
Fairport Convention
3/5
decent record, good sounding folk rock
Kacey Musgraves
2/5
this wasn’t very special, is was decent but i don’t feel it adds much to anything in the genre, i won’t be going back to it
The Teardrop Explodes
3/5
some good tracks on this, good album
William Orbit
3/5
decent electronic album with some interesting sounds
Fatboy Slim
4/5
fun album with some bangers on it, really enjoyed it
Aerosmith
4/5
first album i’ve heard by them, was really enjoying it, would definitely go back and it’s a good length to just listen to a collection of great tracks
Erykah Badu
4/5
i enjoyed this a lot, i like the vibe, i don’t listen to much R&B but this was great, i listened to Baduizm and wasn’t crazy on it but i might need to listen to it again
R.E.M.
4/5
very good album, orange crush is a great song, i would 100% listen again, not too long, just a good time
Aphex Twin
5/5
this is a staple for the genre, very good, second time hearing it full length, glad i did, very good, feels so ambient i forgot it’s playing, would definitely wanna get this on vinyl soon, would recommend
Supergrass
3/5
just some decent britpop, wasn’t the best thing ever, but i didn’t have an issue with it, good music
Frank Sinatra
4/5
very pleasant listen, could listen to it over and over again i love the sound of frank sinatra
Beach House
5/5
this was entrancing, beautiful album, would 100% go back to it, would recommend to many people, modern classic
Korn
4/5
i like the metal rap style they got, follow the leader is a great song as well, very good unserious sounding record, just good vibes with some aggression
Ryan Adams
3/5
nice sounding tracks, enjoyed a lot of it, didn’t blow me away but some good tracks
Elastica
3/5
sounded decent, but it’s kinda just generic britpop, songs were catchy but it wasn’t very distinct and lacked personality in aspects
Suicide
3/5
Very dark and eerie sounding, first couple tracks are actually solid, especially Ghost Rider.
Girl is a bit of a disturbing listen with the moaning and groaning. Frankie Teardrop’s story and overall sound isn’t the best as a song but artistically i can see what they’re doing.
Overall it’s pushing boundaries for the genre and is very ahead of its time (1977)
If you wanna listen to something very different and futuristic, this is good, not for everyone.
3/5
Taylor Swift
4/5
this album is very entry level for the genre, very easy to get into it because of the recognizability of the tracks, i enjoy a lot of the songs because i think they’re fairly catchy, i think it’s an important album for modern pop as well, great listen
David Bowie
3/5
this is the first of the berlin trilogy that i’ve heard, the intro was great and the title track is obviously amazing, the disc 2 instrumentals didn’t really seem to fit in with the vibe and just felt a little bit in the way, it takes a lot away from the value of the album i found, i enjoyed a lot of the songs but as a whole album i wouldn’t say its bowie’s best, cover is beautiful
3.5/5
Malcolm McLaren
2/5
i like the influence of this and can see how this would be seen as “the first taste of hip-hop”.
i just feel that the album is fairly messy, i liked some of the songs but it doesn’t really stick to a solid path through the album, just felt a bit everywhere.
i also don’t feel like credit was given very fairly as i heard Malcolm McLaren isn’t the best person.
music overall was decent just not the best as an album.
i think it’s cool that eminem sampled the second track
2.5/5
Pet Shop Boys
4/5
very very 80s esc.
i feel the duo find their sound very well on this album and they execute it very well, i enjoy the synth sounds and the early electronic vibes on it, with some great tracks on it like “What Have I Done to Deserve This” and “Rent”
4/5
Gorillaz
4/5
My second time hearing this all the way through. very good album.
i really enjoy the early sound of this band and i love damon’s artistry, he is a musical genius, i love how this album can blend some grungy and rugged sounding rock with some rap. it’s a little messy but i feel that adds to it.
4/5
Joy Division
4/5
this is great, the intro sets the tone very well and the whole album progresses very well. the ending was very good as well, feels like an opposite of the intro.
favourite songs: disorder, she’s lost control, shadowplay
4/5
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
1/5
i get the message, fair enough, but this was boring to listen to, i wouldn’t see myself going back to this again, the songs are extremely long and they lack engagement.
1/5
Led Zeppelin
5/5
one of the best double albums ever made.
the first half is amazing with some hard hitting bangers like Kashmir and Custard Pie.
the second half mellows out slightly but has some great tracks like In the Light and the Wanton Song.
I’ve heard this album once before and i enjoyed it but i found it fairly long, but this time i appreciated it for what it’s worth, it was an amazing experience with no weak tracks and might well be my favourite zeppelin album.
Motörhead
3/5
very energetic and good sounding songs, good performance and good energy, i probably wouldn’t listen again but i did enjoy it
Slint
4/5
very dark and moody post rock, very influential, very interesting, i enjoyed it
The Fall
3/5
very weird sounding, i like the 8-but sounding synth that plays in a lot of the songs but i hear it a bit too much making a lot of the songs sound very similar, the vocals sound like he’s drunk which i like in a funny way, i think overall it was decent but i don’t think i’d go back to it
Black Sabbath
5/5
i got this the day after ozzy passed away, i’m not sure if that’s a full coincidence or if they designed it like that.
this album is absolutely essential for metal and getting into the genre and for extremely good reason, every song just hits hard, it may be mainstream and recognisable but the quality of songs are just outstanding.
the intro War Pigs sets such a good scene for the rest of the album then it just goes into the song Paranoid which is a punchy banger that anyone can like.
the drums in Rat Salad were amazing as well, very impressive.
my favourite song might be Hand of Doom, i think it’s extremely underrated and i love the sections in it.
overall amazing album that everyone should listen to at least once in their life.
The Cure
4/5
very dark and moody, little bit less accessible than disintegration but i enjoyed it, would definitely go back to it
Sex Pistols
5/5
very energetic, really enjoyed it and essential if you wanna get into punk
De La Soul
5/5
this was such a fun listen, the grooves on it make you wanna bop your head, the bars are smooth, the interludes are funny, this album is a great listen, very ahead of its time for the 80s
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
2/5
i respect the culture and can imagine this album did a lot of its genre but it’s not to my taste.
also didn’t know these guys were on graceland
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
heard of the band but never actually listened to their music.
didn’t know they’re welsh, like me, bosh.
overall i’d say the music was tidy, i enjoyed the last couple tracks more than the rest but i liked the overall theme, heavy sound and lyrics, solid record.
3.5/5
Pantera
4/5
good sounding thrash metal, never listened to these guys before and i don’t mind it, not as good as other bands in the genre but a respectable album that you can just put on if you’re in that mood, respect
The Beach Boys
5/5
this album is a masterpiece, extremely important 60s record. the intro is so positive and starts the album in such a strong way.
favourite tracks: Wouldn’t It Be Nice, God Only Knows, Here Today, I Wasn’t Made For These Times
Saint Etienne
3/5
this was a vibe, i enjoyed the trip hop vibe and found it good to drive to, spring was an absolute banger as well, overall, pretty good
The Clash
5/5
this album is a banger. quite a long album, 19 songs long but all 19 songs are amazing, all u pique form each other and has their own strengths.
the first track really sets the tone for the album, and it only keeps at that as the album goes on, absolutely no skips.
this might well be one of the best albums of all time.
5/5, amazing
Tom Waits
3/5
i like the experimentation on this, is voice is very different and i haven’t heard much like this, overall it was good and i can imagine it being very influential
Björk
5/5
this album is astonishing, it’s sonically beautiful, the production is amazing, my favourite björk record i’ve heard so far, amazing
The Replacements
4/5
i enjoyed this a fair bit to be fair, must’ve been an important record for its time, some great alt rock, i enjoy this more than the other let it be
Boards of Canada
4/5
one of those albums i knew but never listened to but was interested.
was a really dreamy yet eerie soundscape and really raw and hardhitting, for some it might take multiple listens to get into especially if you’re not into much electronic music, but i really enjoyed it, good listen and would 100% listen to it again and recommend
The Modern Lovers
3/5
this feels like what television would sound like if they were more mainstream, i liked it, some good guitar work and vocals and good energy, good album
David Bowie
4/5
i feel in the later years of bowie’s music career he went into more experimental styles of rock and i really like it, this demonstrates that very well, this album is great and this and blackstar are a great way to end a half century career, quite random to have this recent record on this list but i’m glad i listened to it
The Damned
3/5
really good punk record, did enjoy the energy in it, solid
Dire Straits
4/5
i listened to this a long time ago and i thought it was so boring besides the first track and sultans, but this was a really good record, really solid for a debut as well, quality, found that each song was different and added to the album
Joanna Newsom
5/5
astonishing album, otherworldly instrumentation and dramatic lyricism really creates a picture in my head, the medieval sounding harp makes it feel so good
A Tribe Called Quest
5/5
each song on this was a banger and i wasn’t bored through the over an hour runtime, low end theory is a classic and i never really thought of this record but this is absolute quality, would 100% listen again and get on vinyl
Metallica
5/5
classic, thrash metal perfection, the intro is fast and energetic then goes into master of puppets, everything just works and makes sense and falls in the right place, amazing record
Finley Quaye
4/5
i enjoyed the mix of pop and reggae, good vibes on this, good instruments, enjoyed it a fair bit
T. Rex
4/5
great listen, fun, enthusiastic songs with some great guitar work and just really good glam rock, i gotta get into these guys more.
favourite tracks: Telegram Sam and Thunderwing
Billy Bragg
4/5
some great tunes on this, lyrics are very political and romantic, i enjoyed it, good record
Richard Thompson
3/5
nice, calm and folksy, good vocals and good song chemistry, enjoyed it overall
3/5
good tunes to be fair but it’s corny
“s-h-i-t is that how you spell me in your dictionary”… yeah, kinda hard, kinda corny
i enjoyed the songs but some lyrics were just a bit thing
Mercury Rev
3/5
found out these guys recorded this same time and place as the flaming lips’ soft bulletin album (which i gave 5 stars)
this record was interesting, i’ve never heard of these guys before, the style was unusual but i had no problem with it, only complaint is that i found the first few tracks were dragging, decent overall though and i should listen to it again
Morrissey
4/5
good morrissey album, some fun tracks across the place, i don’t really care about what he’s been saying and doing i think he is quite the musical genius
fIREHOSE
4/5
this gave me solid television vibes, i enjoyed this record a lot, very energetic band
Drive-By Truckers
3/5
interesting album, found it cool that it was a story of lynyrd skynyrd, just a bit long in my opinion
Shivkumar Sharma
2/5
sounded okay but i wouldn’t listen again
Circle Jerks
4/5
punchy as hell, great album for the length
Faith No More
3/5
tidy rock album, not bad like
Linkin Park
4/5
i’m not big on linkin park but i found these songs decent, they just have a corny sound
3/5
this was okay, idk what much else to say i didn’t love it
Röyksopp
4/5
really enjoyed this one, the vocals are well placed and it’s a nice downtempo electronic record. lowkey similar to BoC.
i listened to this while doing some homework and it really got me focusing so that’s great
Baaba Maal
3/5
good instrumentation and guitar work overall, i enjoyed this in the background as i was doing some work, pretty cool because i wouldn’t have heard this otherwise without this project
Neil Young
4/5
probably one of his better record, nice chill sounding country singer songwriter record, good harmonica and guitar as well, will have to listen again
Ute Lemper
1/5
this was very boring in all honesty, not got much else to say about it
Dusty Springfield
4/5
this had some bangers on it, really fun record and she has one hell of a voice, songs were short but punchy and it was just good fun to listen to
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
not his best work, a bit boring but it was sound like
LCD Soundsystem
3/5
not as good as sound of silver and this is happening but i enjoyed some qualities of this record, had a more rock sound to it but i found it lacked some qualities that made his previous works more special, songs dragged more
Carpenters
3/5
this was a really sweet album, really nice songs, some songs were really good as well
Fred Neil
3/5
sounded like bob dylan, it was decent, some good tracks
Beatles
4/5
i like this era of the beatles, their early works are really nice and wholesome
Metallica
4/5
good record, some absolutely bangers on, strong opening and it doesn’t get bad at all, awesome stuff
Jean-Michel Jarre
4/5
i know part 4 from somewhere, i enjoyed this, some good ambience
Nas
5/5
best rap debut ever, one of the best rap albums ever, needs no introduction, amazing record
Django Django
3/5
i enjoyed this, was different, good listen, default was good
Wilco
3/5
tidy rock record, but long but i liked some tracks
Joni Mitchell
4/5
this was good, some really good songs and lyrics on this
Motörhead
3/5
some heavy music, good record, title track is a banger
Van Morrison
4/5
this performance was amazing, his vocals are on point and the vibes are great
George Michael
3/5
some good tracks on this, enjoyed it
Dusty Springfield
4/5
good vocals and some bangers
Baaba Maal
2/5
it was okay but i can’t engage with it like other music because i don’t understand the language, i enjoy the instrumentation and the culture that surrounds it
Pixies
4/5
good record, some tunes, i like pixies, they have a good sound
Ms. Dynamite
3/5
sounded good but lacked originality, don’t think it should be on this list but i thought it was ok
Peter Frampton
3/5
good performance overall, some hits on it as well, sing songs were very long but it was okay, valid record
The Everly Brothers
3/5
cute little wholesome record, love the vocals and the chemistry on it
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
i found it was okay and i enjoyed it more than other albums like Armed Forces and Blood and Chocolate, i might just be getting used to his sound as he has like 20,000 albums on this list but i thought it was okay
Talking Heads
5/5
Nerdy and weird new wave music that just needs to exist
Germs
2/5
i didn’t know this was punk when i put it on i just played it blindly, i wasn’t feeling like listening to punk but there we go, a comment put this quite well “one of those influential but not interesting ones” it sounded okay but not very interesting
Isaac Hayes
2/5
the intro is a great song, a classic, if you will, but the rest of the songs just illustrate the actual movie, which is devoid of meaning when you’re only focusing on the music. in terms of this being on the list, it shouldn’t be. if soundtracks are allowed then there should be many others making it on this list. the music was fine, but it doesn’t need to be on this list
Talk Talk
4/5
first albums i’ve heard by him and this was a great record, i really enjoyed it, it had a nice happy feeling and made me feel good while listening. his voice is great and the song flow well and everything is fine and dandy
Fatboy Slim
2/5
it just felt like dull dance music, i’m not big on this guy anyways, he’s got some tunes but that’s it to me, it felt a bit dated
The Beach Boys
5/5
this was sick, every song slapped and i liked the end, made me get a more personal feel with the band at the end as i haven’t heard them not sing. not close to pet sounds but as an album back in the hay day, it’s sick
4/5
hard to find (found the full thing on youtube)
this was great i wont even lie, its like a battle between the drums and saxophones, the sheer pace and energy and performance just should exist and is a great example of things that should be on this list, theres nothing like this anywhere else, shows the other side of jazz that people need to hear, amazing
Jane's Addiction
4/5
i heard Ritual De Lo Habitual by these guys and i thought it was decent, this was heavier, punchier and just made me feel good while listening to it, it was a great rock album and would say this is best to get into them, really good record.
Sonic Youth
4/5
i enjoyed this, very dark, moody and atmospheric, made me feel the right feelings, i want to get into more sonic youth and try get into their sound better, this ain’t very entry level but once you get it im sure it clicks
Alice Cooper
4/5
great rock album, good mixture of ideas form classic rock, blues and jazz, good record
Isaac Hayes
5/5
this was amazing, this is some insane soul music, insane grooves, awesome vocals, instrumentations being strung together really well, ending is very strong as well, not much else to say this seems quite essential and i’m glad i heard it before i die
Justice
4/5
this album grabbed me, i fuckin loved it, the french dance revolution was just insane, i love the style, it’s just high quality dance music, all elements of each song just play around each other with perfect synchronicity, everything just works, but it’s not as good as discovery by daft punk
Elvis Costello
4/5
this is definitely the best i heard from him, there’s more emotion and creativity used in this, i might have to listen to it again, it was a funky record, so much of this guy on this list though, i enjoyed it
Primal Scream
4/5
this album dives into a few genres like indie, psychedelic, feels kinda trip-hop esc as well, it’s a bit messy in areas but i do think it’s really good, the first 2 tracks slap, some maybe a bit boring but i think this is the best i’ve heard from primal scream
Mylo
3/5
this album was a vibe i won’t even lie, especially “In My Arms”, that was great, some good dance music, but a question raises on whether it needs to be on the list, i’m a mixed bag, i like it but it didn’t feel like it needed to be here, id give it a 3.5 but imma have to give it a 3
Green Day
5/5
my 3rd time hearing this, i love the energy on this, some great songs with good chemistry on them, i always thought green day was corny, i do kinda think so but i can’t deny this is a great record
Paul McCartney
4/5
this was very different to what i’ve heard from mccartney in the beatles, but i liked this, i think it’s a growing point after the band breaking up, a lot of instrumentals though, but nah it’s good i like it
Belle & Sebastian
3/5
this had some good indie songs, had a very familiar sound which i liked, good band, i got another album of theirs today (i’m in album debt)
Madonna
4/5
madonna is that artist that i admire, but i always find songs i know but never knew she made, this album encapsulates that very well.
The B-52's
4/5
this was really weird and stylish, funky and fun to listen to, if i were a surfer i think this would have done it for me
CHIC
4/5
groovy as fook, was dancing my ass off to this
The Chemical Brothers
5/5
this was awesome, really good electronic record, really glad i heard it, i just enjoyed every single track, bangers
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
2/5
it sounded fine, and i’m sure i would’ve loved this if i was into this genre a lot or if i grew up with it, but i don’t and am not, 2 hours of hardcore country music was challenging
The Who
3/5
Its got some tunes, good energy and all that, but didn't blow me away
The Last Shadow Puppets
4/5
this album surprised me, just reminded me of prime arctic monkeys but less heavy and more mellow, great album though
Steve Winwood
2/5
this guy sounded a lot like Peter Gabriel, songs were okay but again it didn't really blow me away.
Robert Wyatt
3/5
I liked some tracks and experimental ideas but it wasn't constantly engaging
Billie Holiday
3/5
Nice record, very unique voice, very bittersweet
Sly & The Family Stone
5/5
I was grooving my ass off to this, very good album, thoroughly enjoyed it
Liz Phair
3/5
interesting album overall, very different, but not my cuppa
The Prodigy
5/5
like a better version of fat boy slim, this was awesome, we all need a bit of this in life.
best tracks: voodoo people, no good (start the dance)
The Who
4/5
this was a really good concept album that went through themes of struggle, transformation and growth, some bangers too
Run-D.M.C.
4/5
proper solid rap album, think i prefer this to raising hell, this was more raw in my opinion, some great tunes
Fun Lovin' Criminals
3/5
fun album, some good tracks, not too bad
10cc
5/5
this was sick, some really interesting songs, haven’t heard this band before, the second song was awesome, bangers everywhere
Traffic
3/5
tidy album overall, wasn’t too bad
My Bloody Valentine
4/5
considering the length of this bands career, they still manage to pin down their sound and keep quality high after over 20 years, this was great, dreamy and spacey music that i love
The Adverts
3/5
it was just another punk record i suppose, it sounded okay, some good melodies but i didn’t really need it
Deee-Lite
2/5
wasn't a full album on streaming, had to piece it together, i think these guys were just one hit wonders, this didn't blow me away and even think the hit was kinda shit
Rufus Wainwright
5/5
this was beautiful through and through sorry, his voice is so good and its a really nice and intimate singer songwriter record
The Boo Radleys
3/5
this was alright aye, decent sounding guitars and all the rest but i don’t remember a lot of it
Air
4/5

Van Halen
5/5
yeah this is awesome, 34 minutes of just great music, not too long, easy to digest, great stuff
Jack White
4/5
i feel like this generator does need more music like this, i don’t feel like this exact album should be on the list but i like the style, other jack white albums could be on it perhaps
The Zutons
4/5
very fun and catchy
The Stone Roses
5/5
aye it’s class, 10/10
5/5
was really good, reminded me of talking heads, but more punky though
Dion
3/5
he had a good voice but didn’t blow me away
The Only Ones
3/5
to be fair the band has good chemistry and riffs and a strong general sound, wasn’t a fan of the vocalist much though, typical rock album really
a-ha
4/5
this has bangers on it, and it has that 80s sound, you know what i mean
The Kinks
4/5
some tunes on this to be fair aye
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
2/5
i won’t lie it’s just a random album to me, i bet this would’ve gone hard back in the day in the designated area but it ain’t me, from what it sounds like, sounds well made, but i won’t be going back to this unfortunately
Burning Spear
4/5
strong reggae entry, i liked all songs they were layered and passionate and everything blended really well
Cat Stevens
4/5
yeah this was a nice collection of tracks, really well written and presented and sequenced
Randy Newman
3/5
his voice is good but each song just reminds me of toy story because his voice is so distinct, i enjoyed the tracks tho
Bob Dylan
4/5
i’m not fully inclined in bob dylan but i thought this was one of the best ones i heard from him (i also really like blonde on blonde) i found it had really good songwriting, he is difficult to get into though but i feel im getting there
Ian Dury
1/5
production and lyrics done by a 10 year old, sung by a 50 year old tory, this was dead
Aerosmith
5/5
this was, in my opinion, their most well sequenced, wittiest, humorous and best performed album i've heard so far. this was really good, it all just worked and there were some bangers on it.
Christina Aguilera
3/5
long album, had some bangers though, good shit

Dagmar Krause
1/5
I didn't enjoy this very much, it sounded okay but the vibes weren't there, not what I look for in an album, not to mention it wasn't on streaming
Manic Street Preachers

tidy country album

3/5
tidy album, they sound a lot like the beatles

really enjoyed the Tarkus suite as the opener, was very epic and well made, i did also like the less serious back end of the record, but my attention faded more towards the end, overall it was good
Emmylou Harris
3/5
i did quite enjoy this country album, i liked the structure
Anthrax
4/5
worked out to this, very good
Fiona Apple
5/5
i really liked this, haven’t heard anything like this, really liked how raw and dark it felt in areas and how mature it feels compared to her earlier works, very intense lyrics too, beautiful
Radiohead
5/5
criminally underrated album, love the use of pianos, if another artist made this it would be their best, awesome record
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
it was okay, didn’t blow me away but i enjoyed the tracks
Brian Eno
3/5
was expecting it to have vocals, i was hung up that i wouldn’t hear any david byrne vocals but after i got over that the instrumentals were okay and had some good sampling, okay overall and i can see the influence it may have caused
Machito
2/5
it’s alright like, good instrumentation, but not my bag
Underworld
5/5
i will not lie, i absolutely loved this, i thought it was so textured and layered and those long tracks were just hitting, had be bopping my head the whole way through, i did not get bored at all through the hour plus run time, amazing record, i do believe my taste is shifting more towards these electronic records now
Booker T. & The MG's
3/5
very groovy, some good tunes on it
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
this was great, that last track was awesome, it was very spacey and just had that classic rock sound, this caters to my taste a lot
Jeru The Damaja
3/5
decent rap record, i liked the production and vocals
OutKast
4/5
I was a mixed bag about this album before, I'm glad I went back to it. This is a very great representation of the sound of some old school rap music, and there are some amazing and rewarding highs in this too. I feel some tracks for short to the quality standard, like "I'll Call B4 I Cum", I just think it was a bit one dimensional and didn't add much to the track list. Hits like B.O.B., Ms. Jackson, and So Fresh, So Clean just make this record timeless and essential.
I think this deserves a spot on the list but its not the best rap record ever and I do think OutKast have better records.
Roxy Music
3/5
it was okay but didn’t blow me away, i liked the end
Prince
5/5
more of a groovier prince album, i really enjoyed it, had some very good tracks and nice to hear a different style of his

Lenny Kravitz
3/5

U2
5/5
i really enjoyed this, might be my favourite U2 record
Norah Jones
3/5

The Slits
