Hounds Of Love
Kate BushReally fun album. First song was instantly recognizeable considering how many tik tok videos I've seen using it. I never really listened to Kate Bush, so I didn't even know that was her song.

Just a fantastic album through and through. Wild how this would kick off 3 amazing albums in a row without a single bad song.
Outside of like 2 songs, not sure what makes this album stand out more than others to be considered in the top 1001... I was disappointed
Black Sabbath isn't my usual jam, but I can see why this album is on the list.
Classic. Blur always kills it. Great relisten
A couple songs, but another one of those "classics" I don't get. Helps me figure out who put this list together
At track 4 I completely gave up on and pulled a DNF. If you need proof the editors needed better representation to bring a more diverse showcase of albums and less bland nonsense, this is it.
Honestly the guitar playing on the album is phenomenal, but was ruinwd for me by the singers voice. At times it is just out of tune and grating, like a drunk me on karaoke night.
It's a fine album, but nothing screamed out that made this album a must listen.
Been awhile since I got an album that deserves to be on this list. A trip down memory lane on this one
This is the type of album I was hoping for from a list like this. Just a great, fun time. I was dancing to this album while cooking this morning
Funk is always fire. This album is a pure classic and gets your body moving to the beat from start to finish
Absolute classic. Wish I had time at home today to pull out the vinyl copy, but was just to busy. So had this as the soundtrack to my driving around instead. A lot of the 1 star reviews are showing who some people obviously are. Not surprised tho. Some people can't open their mind to other music and use the same choice tropes to crap on hip hop.
It was the perfect listen for this morning knowing I was going back to work after 10 days off. Needed that nerve calming jazz. Just a fantastic album
What a trip to the past. Not my favorite albums of theirs, but still great.
I just snagged the vinyl last week to finally bring this album in to my collection, so this gave me a perfect excuse to break it in. Start to finish a banger, and an absolute classic.
I like Elton john and his music. His talent is amazing, but some of the songs just kept it from being a 5. Regardless of my personal opinion, I totally understand why this album is included.
Didn't even bother. I'm not subjecting myself to the torture of his "singing voice".
Not sure how this could be considered an album anyone must listen to before they die. Just an odd choice for the list
Somehow never listened to this. While its not a 5 star for me, I understand the influence of it. Still had a blast finally going listening to this tho.
Didn't live or hate this album. Some songs were definitely enjoyable
I love the 80s, and this is such a can't miss album from then. Always a joy of a listen.
Never really listened to Cash, so I wasn't sure how I'd feel, but I don't like live albums much... And I think I would have given this a 3 if not live. I was just getting tired of the talking and cheering. I don't mind that in person or on video, but audio only its never been my thing.
Jazz is the only genre I truly enjoy live most of the time. Sadly this was not the case with this album as a whole. The music for the most part was fantastic, but the amount of talking at times, especially not from Duke was annoying AF. It's the only reason this gets a 4.
Bailed halfway through. Not the best by PJ Harvey imo
This was a great listen while driving today. Matched my drive time almost perfectly, and was really enjoyable while cruising
Not my cup of tea, but better than Dylan... So 3 stars for that alone. Lol
Classic album. I still like Stripped overall more. I would put that one over this for this list imo
I need to be in a certain headspace for electronic music like this, and I just wasn't... So it didn't click much. I didn't hate, but felt not interested as it played on
Auto 1 star. Cringe singing as always. Don't need 7 albums of his on a list..if
Meh... Got bored quickly
2 songs in and I couldn't take anymore of this bland, emotionless album. I was screaming for more heat and soul, but nope.
This wasn't nearly as bad as anticipated. Also just at around 30 minutes, it didn't overstay it's welcome
Best Nirvana release imo. Just a must listen from start to finish.
Absolute funk/soul classic.
Wasn't expecting to enjoy this, but this album was fire
I've never really listened to Bowie, so this being my first full album was probably not the best one to start with. Didn't click, but knowing the circumstances I'll come back to it eventually. Still don't think this is an album that people must listen to... But one Bowie fans should.
One of the best Elton John albums.
Sounds like filler for a list that shouldn't have filler. Just was a meh listen
Too many tracks I hit skip on. It did have some really good songs, but this definitely doesn't belong on a list like this
Just a solid and great rock album. My only knock is a lot of the album blends together.
Lead singers voice is up there with Bob Dylan for the most hearing voice. Peaced out at track 2
Better than I expected. Was some solid background music at work
Lol oh God no. Wtaf
Some phenomenal tracks on here. Just a great listen as I prepped the morning meals.
So mid... Wish I could do half stars lol
More garbage Dylan... Yuck
If more country music singers sounded like this instead of super Southern or redneck twang BS, I'd listen more often. Loved it
Solid album. The Cure always had a very interesting sound to them. Not really my cup of tea, but always an intriguing listen.
"My dad was a huge fan of this album (especially ""You Can Call Me Al""), and this flooded memories back in. Almost 4 decades later, still a fantastic album"
I knew hearing Bowie's final album as my first full album of his was the issue when I didn't really enjoy it. This was a great listen, and I had a lot of fun with this one.
Disco pop goodness. Just a lot of fun
It was fine I guess
Beasties are always funny to me. I wouldn't classify myself as a huge fan, but their albums always go hard and this one is fire outside of a couple songs towards the end.
While I enjoyed most of the album, his voice and singing is way too monotone for me to listen in one sitting. That alone makes me wonder how this album is on here.
When Emmylou is singing the slow songs, her voice is fantastic. Then the super country twang songs take me out. A very mixed album I wish I could give a 2.5 insteads of a 3.
Paul McCartney, and it was fine. Not worth listening to before you die. All I really have to say.
An all time greatest hip hop album. One of the classics from my high school days. Bumps from beginning to end.
Bland and unseasoned British music... shocking
Yawn inducing
The music was fantastic, but the lead singer's voice was dreadful. If I could just listen to the band rock out, I'd give this a 4, but that singer made give up
It's not as bland as I expected considering a lot of the other British albums I heard for the first time. I definitely did not expect an Alt Country/Folk experience lol. It was an enjoyable and decent listen while I was walking my dog.
Robbie sounds like an ex boy band member trying to hard too shake that old image
Tone deaf AF. Just the same drolling over and over with minimal music behind it. I finally gave up and moved on to something worth listening to.
That was bad, like terrible. I hit play... Skip... Skip... Skip... And stop... No thank you.
I've only really listened to Peter's music from the 80s on, so this album was super interesting. It's not amazing, but a very solid album of an artist trying various sounds
Absolute classic. Nothing really needs to be said other than every one should definitely listen to this album at least once in their life.
I enjoyed this album more than I expected to. Really good work here
This was a really unique listening experience. I'm not sure there's a lot of chance for me to go back to it, but damn I'm glad I got to hear it. I love different musical experiences like this
This album is just one long boring ass song. It felt like the song just never ended. Some singing, same music every track. Another album that just bewilders me with its presence on this list.
Outside of Sweet Emotions and Walk This Way, like most of Aerosmith's 70s stuff, I just feel like it is too hit or miss for me
Another album that proves this album was compiled by people with bland tastes... Good lord how can these UK acts be so bad all the time.
GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE!
Honestly not a great album for me. From the very first track I knew I wasn't going to be the right audience for this one. I was right
I've heard this album enough to know it was getting a 5 from me. THE GOAT
Well this pick is a dud. It's not unlistenable, but it was testing that line for sure
"It's wild how this album is on the list. Outside of ""Don't You Want Me"", the rest of this album doesn't stand out at all. More proof the British bias of this list only continues to negate this list's claim of needing to hear these albums before you die. "
One of those albums I forget about, even though there are so many good tracks.
West Coast G-Funk classic album. Some of these negative reviews really showing their bland unseasoned selfs.
Any doubt as to this rating. Always a 5. It's miles Davis, the 🐐
Started off decent enough, than vocals started and it immediately went full cringe. Not the worst British album that didn't deserve a spot on this list, but still pretty bad.
More like a 3.5 for me. Granted I was never someone who listened to Radiohead. I heard the album back at release and didn't get the hype. I still don't in 2024. To be honest, I enjoyed In Rainbows more as I think it's a much more consistent quality of a listen.
I was a bit nervous when I saw the pick, but once listening I realized how many songs I recognized from when I was a kid and I'd listen to the oldies station at night before bed. Some of these tracks had me surprised as these white boys got more soul than I expected
The opening track is nothing more than 4 or 5 different songs. I guess the story meant to be told is the connecting parts, but the music wasn't much, especially when you have fade outs and back ins for the next part. Felt like an unnecessary 20+ minute song. The rest of the album was pretty subpar.
I just got their album Green as a pick a week ago, and considering this is what I get 2nd, what a yawn fest.
Just a damn classic album. Been awhile since I listened to it and this was a great reason to give it another spin.
Al Green is my favorite R&B singer. Got hooked on his music thanks to my mom as a kid. I was ecstatic to see this on the list, so I broke out my vinyl copy and turned up the volume. An absolute classic
This is probably the best REM album. From start to finish there isn't a bad song
Just skip the first 6 songs and start at Every Breath You Take. The last handful of songs are decent to excellent, but you gotta sit through some terrible (That mother song is TRASH) to subpar wastes of time before you get there.
Going with a 2, because I can't give this a 2.5, and 3 would be too generous. This really is as average as it gets. The fact I know they have at least another album on this list is disappointing to say the least.
It's a fine electronic/eurodance album. Has some good songs and some blah ones. Nothing special
As a fan of Japanese City Pop, this had a lot of those vibes. Very chill time.
This album is an absolute classic, and while I am rating it a 5... Kanye's music has become hard to listen to with his downward spiral out of control and becoming an insane dbag. I even sold off all my Kanye vinyls because I just couldn't keep it in my collection with the stuff he began saying. Hoping one day this dude gets the much needed therapy he needs.
What is this garbage? This is what a bunch of pot heads idolize? LOL, guess I won't be trying weed anytime soon. JFC this is BAAAAAAAAAAD
Lou Reed is just bland, and the rest of the band doesnt do enough to make up for this.
Classic! Would have pulled out some vinyl of his if I wasn't so busy this morning.
There are some truly good moments and songs, but times on this album that I really disliked... One of the songs had a woman start screeching... and I just hit skip. Like nails on a chalkboard.
60s and 70s rock just really isn't my jam a lot of times, but I did like a few songs on this album. Still about a 3 to 3.5 out of 5 for me
This is a classic album from my teens, but a few songs just did not hold up and made me hit skip. With their self titled album already on the list, this album was not needed here imo. I gave it a 4, but it's more like a 3.5
As soon as I hit play, the way it put me right back to my youth from the jump. Amazing album and absolute classic!
Aretha Franklin is such a queen! I'm surprised I had never listened to this album all the way through. Glad this list remedied that
When I saw this was a double album, I was like I really hope this is good since I knew nothing of the artist. Wow was I surprised. I came away absolutely loving this album. The vibes were great
Really fun album. First song was instantly recognizeable considering how many tik tok videos I've seen using it. I never really listened to Kate Bush, so I didn't even know that was her song.
Their best album by far. As soon as I saw the pick, I hit play on my phone, turned on the bluetooth speaker, and just basked in its greatness!
I can't believe this is on this list, when I Am The Law is the only good song here. There's so much better in terms of metal around this time, and with better sounding frontmen. I was on a decent roll of good albums too.
I've always liked Van Halen, but not loved outside of some singles here and there. This album is a lot of fun, but doesn't change my mind on the like, not love part. Still worth listening to by rock fans.
I get why the British love this. Sounds like their rock. I find it underwhelming and bland. Been 30 minutes of the same vocals and backing to me
Great singer-songwriter folk music. Popped it on for the dog's walk this morning and it was the perfect soundtrack for a nice walk on the path through the woods.
Never gotten the appeal of Bruce... This is better than that album The Rising though, as at least I could listen to this one. Still just not for me. Meh
Very first track, dude sounded like Bob Dylan... I stopped it and moved on... It's bad enough this list has 7 Dylan albums, don't need a knock-off Dylan too.
If I hadn't been so busy catching up on things after a long weekend, I would have pulled out my vinyl copy. Still a great revisit to such a fantastic album! Love that this made the list.
Didn't even waste my time with this tone deaf BS. Imagine 2 albums of this garbage on this list... Geez. Hope they don't show up again
Scottish reggae with a really obvious fake Jamaican accent. How many legit Jamaican artists got left off the list for this trash
Good lord, what's with these white dudes and drawing out their syllables at the ends of lines in the lyrics. It's so stupidly annoying.
More like a 3.5, but this was a pretty entertaining album
Just amazing. Put this on right as I headed out to walk the dog, and what a great listen on a nice breezy 63 degree (F) morning!
I almost stopped at track one with that terible modulated singing this album kicked off with. Thankfully that was the only time, but what a terrible beginning. In the end I found the album enjoyable. I'm giving it a 3 only because of that 1st track, otherwise I would have probably given this album a 4.
So great! perfect morning listening during the dog's walk, then a quick mowing of my backyard.
I guess in the 70s this was ahead of its time, but in 2024 its fine. Inoffensive and decent background music while I do other things
Good album, but not her best. Love Mariah's body of work, especially in the first half of her career, but I found it interesting they chose this one instead of Daydream or Music Box.
A couple songs I recognize. The album was a fine listen, but nothing I would ever return to. Just not my style of rock.
5 star classic gangsta rap album. Fire from start to finish.
It was fine. Some songs landed with me, many didn't. Overall though it managed to be decently enjoyable, but not something I would actively go back to.
I honestly think the vocals on some of the tracks took away from the great jazz music. The vocals aren't bad by any means, but some songs didn't need them.
Track 1 hit, SKIP! Track 2, SKIP! Track 3, SKIP! Track 4 started and I just gave up and moved on. Unlistenable for me
Holy shit that was boring. Like I'd rather just have an album be downright bad, so I can just DNF it and move on... But that just drug on and on and never getting better.
I was so excited to this as my pick of the day. Any reason to listen to this album is a great one. 5 star classic
Garbage's debut album is one of my favorite albums of all time. From beginning to end, it is fantastic.
After 6 or 7 songs I felt like I had enough of the album. Had no desire to put myself through 2 hours of this
No thanks... ugh shitty country music. Yeah, I'm not sitting through 2 hours of country rock.
Gonna admit I thought I wasn't going to like this and it was awesome. Janis had a bit of unexpected soul to her singing that made love this album.
Didn't hate it, but it didn't really stand out. A couple songs were good enough to give this a 3
Just yawn. Nothing stands out in this. It's wild that this is an actual selection, but given the British bias I should stop being surprised
Classic 5 star hip hop album. Been too long since I last listened and this remedied that
Black Sabbath seems to be one of the handful of groups from this era of rock I enjoy
It was fine, but not worth a spot as an album you must hear before you die. A decent background album while having breakfast this morning
This dude sings so bad, it's like spoiled milk. Good lord, this is horrid to listen to.
I don't get the appeal of Cohen at all. His voice, the lyrics, the music, just is dreadfully boring
Not unlistenable, but not good
Always enjoy Talking Heads stuff I heard and watched via single, but had never listened to a whole album. This was very good
I'm rating this a 1 only because I'm not allowed to give less. What is this absolutely trash of an album? This sounds like something you should avoid your entire life
It's an album I can say I neither loved nor hated. I'd say its closer to a 2.5 for being way too long
This was alright. It was decent enough, but not sure how this belongs on a list like this.
Always enjoyed this album. I'm an odd one and like the sequel better, but I grew up during that time lol
Nope, this is just terrible. One of the worst bands out there
One of those albums I wish I could give a 2.5, but know that a 2 out of 5 is too mean. The album is fine, but its just not my style of music. I honestly thought on the first track I was going to enjoy it, but it never got there.
Really nice and peaceful album jams. One of those that matches nicely with the dog walk in the early morning
Way too many of the albums on this list are overrated EU releases. While I didn't feel the need to just turn it off and move on, it came close. Bladn, unseasoned nonsense from the EU, which is becoming a regular occurrence
I think Bowie is fine, his music just doesn't seem to be my cup of tea. Due to how much everyone priases him I go in open-minded, but my 3 experiences at this point have fluctuated a lot in how I enjoyed them.
Really solild album for just relaxing. Made me want to lay on the couch with my dog and sip a cocktail while I read.
"I didn't really enjoy ""Bug"", but I found this album to be a bit better. I can see why they were influential more on this album. "
It's 70s Dad rock... it is what it is
Classic blues album. Absolutely slaps
I expected I was going to hate this when I hit play, and I absolutely loved it. Outside of one terrible vocal part, the entire album is fantastic
The one thing I can say for this list, at least most of the rap albums chosen are bangers. I can tell they were not chosen by the same people who decided to include a lot of the underwhelming British slop
Talk about being shocked by an album. I didn't have any clue what I was getting into and I grooved for over 40 minutes. Pleasantly surprised by this one
One of my favorite albums. Had to break out the vinyl for it!
Just sounds the same. Singer's voice becomes grating after too long
Another really good album by Stevie, and my only issue being some songs being religious. That just is not for me
Honestly thought this was going to be more Brit bias trash, but it was a fun enough listen.
Is this a fucking joke? The music is terrible, the singing is absolutely dreadful! This is like a troll album pick. Fuck off with this nonsense. Who ever picked this as something to hear before you die, should never discuss music again. Need a 0 star rating for trash like this.
It's tolerable and had some enjoyable songs. Probably enjoy it even more after that garbage I was given yesterday by Robert Wyatt
A really great album that is like sultry disco.
Afro-Cuban goodness. damn near 70 years old and pure fire!
As much as I love pop and R&B, Beyonce just isn't my jam. More of a Kelly Rowland type of guy
What a great soundtrack to my morning this was. An hour of funky grooves and just great energy and vibes. I saw someone call this elevator music on their review, so I'll just guess they think ketchup is too spicy. Bland palates are sad
Honestly right after I finished listening to the album and I couldn't remember a single thing about it other than distortion. It happened, and it was unremarkable
It was a decent album overall. Nothing to write home about though.
More like Fools Gold... Bland uninspired country pop rock.
