3/5
Probably wouldn't usually be my sort of thing, but this album fit very well while listening with headphones and taking a walk at night. It did feel like it went on a little long, though, and a lot of the songs sounded basically the same. I liked the first few songs the most and liked how well they open the album.
Pixies
5/5
Now THIS hit the spot.
I love the energy of this album - how every song sounds different, but the whole album still feels cohesive.
Blood, Sweat & Tears
5/5
This one really hit the spot for me. I love this era of music. I love how passionate each song sounds. I love the structure of the album, with the instrumental intro and outro, really giving it a sense of completeness.
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
I had high expectations for this one as a fan of funk and soul, but the album didn't quite work all the way through for me. Some of the songs just felt weirdly boring, which doesn't happen to me often with this genre of music.
Deep Purple
4/5
I liked this more than I thought I would, given that it's a live album and most of the songs are stretched out to be really long - but I guess I like rock songs being stretched out like that, where they have long instrumental sections.
Meat Loaf
4/5
Very fun. I love rock operas.
Billy Bragg
5/5
Absolutely beautiful.
I love the variety of sounds here, yet the whole album still feels cohesive.
Jeff Beck
4/5
Groovy. 😎
Got better as the album went on.
Kanye West
2/5
40 minutes of a man saying gross shit about women. Tiring.
The Clash
4/5
Quite fun. I love this kind of older punk. Went on a little long, though.
TLC
4/5
I love women's R&B. "Waterfalls" is great.
Marty Robbins
5/5
I ADORE this album.
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
Near pop perfection. <3
Rufus Wainwright
2/5
There were a couple songs I liked, but this album as a whole was tiring to sit through.
Bee Gees
3/5
Beatles ripoff (complimentary)
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Very nice music, but the album was kind of long for my taste.

I've been loving this album since I was a young teen. Absolutely iconic alternative rock.
Parliament

The funkiest funk to ever funk.
Manic Street Preachers

It's music.

I liked it, but some songs were pretty forgettable.
Bon Jovi
4/5
I for one like this kind of bubblegum metal.

Not a huge fan of short songs, which most of these are, but I could see a lot of these songs growing on me with repeat listens.
The Velvet Underground
4/5
Such a classic, lovely album.
The Shamen
3/5
Fun but not super memorable or anything.
Isaac Hayes
4/5

3/5
Nothing special, but I don't dislike it.
Crowded House
3/5

Background music.
Hugh Masekela

Lovely album. I've never sat down and listened to the whole thing before.
The Mothers Of Invention

I thought I would hate it based on the reviews, but I got decently into this album. Interesting parody.

3/5
I liked the first few songs but got tired of this album quickly.
Queen
4/5

Fun, gay-ass music!
Creedence Clearwater Revival

Love it! Definitely want to give this some repeat listens since there are a few songs here I've never heard before.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Definitely want to come back to this one and give it another listen in the future!
1/5
I was already tired of it by the end of the first song, and then it just kept going. This is the first time I've refused to listen to a whole album from this list.
The Notorious B.I.G.
4/5
Good stuff, but hard to sit through the whole album in one go.
Elton John
4/5
Elton John :)
Underworld
4/5
The length of this album scared me, but I wound up liking this one much more than I expected. It's definitely background music, but it's good background music.
Wilco
4/5
The album was a bit long to listen to all at once, but I think I'd really enjoy these songs if I listened to them individually in the future.
Van Morrison
2/5
I'm not particularly interested in listening to recordings of live concerts, and some of these songs went on way too long.
Nitin Sawhney
3/5
Such a weird mix of music I really like and music I find completely unlistenable.
The Divine Comedy
2/5
Why is this here?
Siouxsie And The Banshees
2/5
Not the worst thing I've ever heard, but I was glad when it was over.
David Bowie
3/5
Mediocre.
Pentangle
3/5
Won me over slightly by the end.

4/5
Beautiful.
Black Sabbath

Great, especially the first two songs.

The Velvet Underground
1/5
Unlistenable garbage.
Morrissey
3/5
Dull but not awful.
Prince
4/5
Hell yeah.
Arctic Monkeys
5/5
I've loved this album since I was a teenager, and it's only grown on me since then.
Basement Jaxx
2/5
Extremely unremarkable.
Joan Armatrading
4/5
BEAUTIFUL. I should give this more listens in the future. I think it could really, really grow on me.
The Clash
4/5
God I love The Clash.
Alice Cooper
4/5
Not what I expected as someone who only knew the title track before today. Pretty cool stuff.
Django Django
4/5
Very fun, unique sound. I definitely want to return to this album in the future.
Beatles
4/5
I don't have anything clever to say here. It's Abbey Road, baby.
The Pretty Things
3/5
Beatles ripoff (complimentary)
Belle & Sebastian
2/5
Too dull for me.
The Police
3/5
More enjoyable than I expected from an album with only one big hit.
Jeff Buckley
2/5
Nothing special to me.
Suede
2/5
Dreadfully boring.
1/5
No. Just no. (Did not finish.)
Tracy Chapman
4/5
I've loved this album dearly since I was a teenager.
Public Image Ltd.
2/5
Pretty forgettable noise.
Pulp
2/5
I liked a couple songs well enough, but the rest was a slog.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
One really great song and a bunch of forgettable ones.
Anthrax
3/5
I like how high-energy this album is, but all the songs sound pretty much the same.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
Most of the tracks just faded into background noise for me, but I liked them all decently enough.
Common
3/5
This is the kind of rap that makes me want to try more rap. Probably not something I would listen to very often, though.
G. Love & Special Sauce
3/5
Nothing to hate here, but nothing mind-blowing either.
Screaming Trees
3/5
Nothing very remarkable here, but nothing to dislike.
Oasis
2/5
Nothing really stands out to me about this one, and it got pretty grating toward the end.
Big Black
3/5
This might be an album that'll grow on me with repeat listens.
The Byrds
3/5
There's a sound I like here, but this album doesn't quite work for me. There isn't enough of what I like, and there's too much of what I don't like.
Norah Jones
3/5
I liked this album at first, but then it just kept going. Each song felt pretty much the same.
Talking Heads
2/5
How exactly is this an album I NEEDED to hear before I die?
Beck
3/5
I've loved the hits off this album for a while now, but this was my first time listening to the whole thing. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much value here outside of the hits I already liked.
Miles Davis
1/5
Sorry to say, but this is just horrifically boring to me. Instrumental background jazz does nothing for me.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Every song here just sounds like any old Rolling Stones song. Not bad but nothing to write home about either. Not sure why seemingly every Rolling Stones album had to be on this list.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
Literally not a single song stands out.
Herbie Hancock
3/5
I liked "Watermelon Man" a lot, but the rest of the songs were unmemorable to me.
Wire
3/5
I'm not the biggest fan of really short songs (we get enough of that nowadays), but I love the energy of these songs! Old-school punk is great.
Janelle Monáe
5/5
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Lucinda Williams
3/5
I liked "Can't Let Go" a lot and found some of the other songs kind of pretty and nice, but most of this album was boring.
U2
2/5
Why is this on this list?
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Ooh, definitely an album I'll have to return to the future. I can imagine myself getting some good relistens out of this one and appreciating it more and more each time.
Mike Ladd
3/5
The ratings on this one made me think I was going to hate it, but I mostly liked this one. It's interesting experimental hip-hop.
Grateful Dead
3/5
There's really nothing remarkable about this, but there's nothing to dislike about it either.
The Doors
4/5
Psychedelic rock. <3 I should listen to this album more. I think these songs could really grow on me.
Charles Mingus
1/5
Please...please...no more twenty-minute jazz songs. Please.
Peter Tosh
3/5
I like reggae, and I like the message here, but most reggae songs sound pretty much the same to me.
New Order
2/5
Nothing special here.

I'll need to give this one some repeat listens to fully appreciate it. The sound definitely stands out in a way that I like.
Happy Mondays
4/5
I definitely want to return to this one.
Neil Young
3/5
I think some of these songs could grow on me if I listen to them more, but I wasn't super impressed on my first listen.
Roxy Music
4/5
I need to return to this one. I think it could really grow on me.
Björk
1/5
Sorry to say, but I don't understand how this noise could possibly be enjoyable for someone to listen to.
David Bowie
4/5
Lotta BANGERS here. I need to return to this album for sure.
The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5
Nice album that I want to return to.
Missy Elliott
3/5
Not exactly my thing, but I sorta like it.
Eminem
3/5
Edgy.

4/5
The kind of rap that makes me want to listen to more rap.
Fairport Convention
4/5
Pretty, lovely music.

4/5
I've loved this music for a long time, but it's wild how every song on this album sounds exactly the same.
Air
3/5
Nice, but I might need to listen more to really appreciate it.
Dinosaur Jr.
2/5
Yeah, that's some noise alright.
The Young Rascals
4/5
Beatles ripoff (complimentary)
Circle Jerks
3/5
I have to respect the efficiency of this album, with each song averaging a minute in length and the whole album lasting a grand total of sixteen minutes. Not exactly my thing, though.
Eminem
4/5
Horrible news: I really enjoyed this album.
Minutemen
2/5
Why is this mediocre, endless album on this list?
Pink Floyd
4/5
Pink Floyd, baby!

Absolute blast.

4/5
Led Zeppelin, baby!

4/5
Nice stuff, but no song stood out that much to me on my first listen.

David Bowie
4/5
Another decent Bowie album.
Venom
2/5
Why? Why is this on this list?

Pretty forgettable outside of "Sunshine of Your Love." Not unpleasant, though.

3/5
Nothing special here. Even the most popular song on here isn't all that interesting to me.

It's nice and all, but I just can't get that excited over an instrumental album.

The Smashing Pumpkins

I will always love this style of older punk rock.
Television

Lovely, upbeat, comfort music.

I can't even say why I like this, or R.E.M. in general, but I do.
3/5
It's...fine? I definitely didn't NEED to listen to this.
Baaba Maal
2/5
It sucks, but you already knew that.

Pulp
2/5
It made me feel nothing.
The Stranglers
3/5
Some catchy tunes, but nothing mind-blowing.
Muddy Waters
3/5
Not the biggest fan of live albums, but it's blues so it's still good.
ZZ Top
4/5
Very fun album.
Michael Jackson
3/5
I'm so sick of this list acting like if an artist is good, every album of theirs needs to be on this list.
Donovan
3/5
There are some real snoozers on this list, but there's also "Season of the Witch."
PJ Harvey
3/5
Sounds like the sort of album that would grow on me.
Lou Reed
4/5
I already knew and liked "Walk On the Wild Side" before listening to the whole album, and I'm surprised by how much I wound up liking this one.
Def Leppard
3/5
A whole album of this kind of music is just really annoying.
Radiohead
4/5
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. It's a great sad/cozy late night album.

3/5
I can't say I dislike the Beastie Boys, but my god is a whole album of this unbearable. Every song sounds exactly the same.

3/5
This is pretty and all once you find the right version, but I wouldn't say any instrumental album is something I need to hear before I die.
Depeche Mode
4/5
Great stuff.
The Coral
3/5
I enjoyed this a decent amount.
Deep Purple
3/5
Not bad, but nothing super exciting or original. Much like many albums on this list.
Bob Dylan

Definitely not the worst of Bob Dylan, which is to say that this is actually listenable. But still not something I would listen to by choice.
Randy Newman
1/5
Yawn. I couldn't even get through this one.
Harry Nilsson
4/5

4/5
Lying on the couch listening to this whole horribly sick felt like the correct way to listen to this album.

3/5
I respect this horny album, but it's not really my thing.

3/5
Weird album. All over the place. It's hard to have an opinion here.

Mmmmm, old soul music.

This album was a blast.

Not a fan of being screamed at for an hour.

5/5
One of my FAVORITE albums as a teenager, and revisiting it today was a blast.
Slint
2/5
It was sort of like listening to nothing at all.
Adele
4/5
Such a solid album. It's crazy how many hits came from this one album written by a 21-year-old.
The KLF
3/5
Can't say this album made me feel much of anything, but it certainly wasn't unpleasant to listen to.
Madonna
3/5
I love the title track, but the rest of the album definitely isn't as strong.
Moby Grape
3/5
Nice music, but nothing mind-blowing.
Led Zeppelin
3/5
I might like it more on repeat listens, but I wasn't blown away by my first listen.
Ali Farka Touré
3/5
Pleasant enough instrumentals.
Love
4/5
This is a very nice sound.
Ramones
3/5
I can't deny that the Ramones are iconic, and I do love them, but every song on this album does undeniably sound exactly the same.
Dead Kennedys
3/5
Great subject matter but not really the kind of sound I want to listen to most of the time.
Patti Smith
3/5
Not quite my sort of sound, but it's interesting.
The Isley Brothers
4/5
Long-ass album but man is it funky.

4/5
Beautiful!
Garbage
5/5
I was intimidated by the length of this album before I listened but now I just want more and more.

4/5
Kind of a jam.
Metallica
2/5
No! More! Live! Albums!

3/5
It was fine.
Metallica
3/5
This feels like one of those albums that would grow on me on repeat listens, especially since that's what happened with the title track, "Enter Sandman."
The Pharcyde
4/5
This 90s rap album is very very 90s rap, and I think that's very very fun.
50 Cent
3/5
Not the best rap. Some of the lyrics are kind of lame, the songs mostly sound the same, and the album feels pretty bloated. I did enjoy it somewhat though.
Pixies
4/5
Not as good as Doolittle but it's Pixies, baby!
Scritti Politti
2/5
Good god this is bad.
Kraftwerk
4/5
I had this on in the background while working on some projects, and it felt perfect for that.
Marvin Gaye
4/5
It's Marvin Gaye. It's good.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
It's that thing with older music where the lyrics and subject matter are kind of basic but the singing is so good that you have to love it anyway.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Probably the best of the Rolling Stones that I've heard on this list so far. I usually don't have strong opinions either way on their music, and I don't here either, but this album leaned a little more toward good than their albums usually do for me.
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
3/5
Nice stuff.
Bob Dylan
3/5

4/5
Turn it up! Bring the noise!

4/5
Between the album cover and the music itself, I love love love the vibes here.

4/5
Not my favorite Gorillaz album, but it's Gorillaz, so I love it.

4/5
I liked this a lot more than I expected. I'm a sucker for moody synths.

3/5
More random British music. It's not bad or anything but what's so special about it?

4/5
I like.
Devendra Banhart
3/5
I didn't hate this like everyone else did, but it didn't blow me away.

3/5
I liked the slow build of the instrumentals, but the album as a whole didn't do a lot for me.

3/5
Didn't really do anything for me, sorry.

Beautiful album!

4/5
Beautiful! The best of Bob Dylan I've heard so far.

1/5
Even when it's good, instrumental jazz just bores me to death.

Linkin Park

Songhoy Blues
3/5
I love when this list actually gives me an album that I haven't heard of before and that isn't some lame British alt rock. That being said, this album kind of faded into the background for me.
Joni Mitchell
4/5
Joni Mitchell's music is always beautiful.
Todd Rundgren
2/5
Long, boring album that all sounds the same.
Sufjan Stevens
4/5
