                    Not my favorite band, and in hindsight the singles are the only thing I like on this album.  I don't hate it. 2-21-2024

                    White Winter Hymnal is amazing.
                     in a less than generous word:  twee. The distortion is the same in every song.  I like it, all of it.  It soars when it works, and when it doesn't, it is still a warm sweater of an album.  The songs belong in as many indie films as they can fit in.

                    This is so outside my experience.  I've never just sat down and listened to Miles Davis before.  My first impression is that this is hard to listen to and do other things, which isn't bad.  I don't ordinarily engage with music like that is all.  That being said, it isn't anything I'd seek out on my own, and I don't feel compelled to listen again.

                    Solid listen.  Its been awhile since I've heard this and without it being as ubiquitous as the air we breath, I remebered how good every song is here.

                    Sour time and Glory box stand out as really good.
                    
                    The rest is relaxing trip-hop that I'm happy to listen to, but no chills or jaw drops. elevator music for a really cool elevator.

                    I love this album and often find myself nodding my head in tempo.  There are some stand-out tracks but the album falls short of being in the "every track is great" territory

                    Talking heads are great.  This album is OK.

                    Elliot Smith is my kind of music.  I like this whole album but couldn't name you one track that stands out

                    Neil Young is always listenable, or at least so far. This is OK, but it is nowhere near the list of my favorite albums from him.

                    It is a pleasant listen with a couple of stand-out tracks.

                    stopped listening half way through.  couldn't even bother scrubbing through all the tracks.  It was on in the background and I was still bored

                    I like the song writing, the arrangements are good too.  it feels like a lonely 60's crooner writing for the most depressing musical ever made.

                    This is an Elvis Costello album.  It has none of the singles that Elvis Costello is famous for.  It is about as Elvis Costello as you would think if someone told you that Elvis Costello wrote an album and here it is.  I was not surprised because it sounded exactly like Elvis Costello.  On the bright side I like Elvis Costello in general.

                    I'm completely biased. Chicago is one of my favorite songs of all time. I listen to it often and still get frission every time I hear it. The only reason this isn't a 10 out of 10 is that the other songs, with the exception of John Wayne Gacy, Jr., are just good.

                    Great opening track.  I officially like one Steely Dan song. Mercifully this album is short.  so smooth my brain shut off and I found myself drooling. meh.

                    I like some of the melancholy runs. It relaxed me.  some of the runs were just noise to me but I'm not a jazz fan.  Of all the jazz I've heard this was pretty listenable

                    At its worst, it's ordinary background R&B, and at its best, it made me nod my head a bit. Again, 1001 albums is way more albums than I thought.

                    Holy hell, do I not like this.  The rock is ok, but it is done better by those who came before and after.  The slow country and ballads are the sleepiest horseshit.  There is no passion here, only technique and even that's lacking.  In summary, no, sir, I don't like it.

                    Wake Up is fantastic, and Arcade Fire is talented. However, even though I enjoyed these songs well enough, I don't feel anything special about them.

                    I had fun with this.  I don't know why I keep getting the edges of the catalogs.  Iron Maiden is a fine album, but that's it...fine.

                    This is a rainy day album.  drinking tea and putting you feet up.  no stand out tracks, just nice mellow musings on the color gray.

                            1/10
                    
                    I do not have the patience needed to engage with this.  I don't like syd's voice, especially when he tries to get out of his range, I don't like the arrangements.  I can't help but think this was a bunch of friends indulging someone who had clearly began to stop being able to function.  I kind of feel sad, and I don't understand why this album is on this list.

                    I like life's what you make it.  the rest of the songs are pleasant enough and would be all the rage if I lived in a sleepy village and didn't have a job to do.

                    This is my first 5 star album.  It's so iconic I can't separate it from the miasma of music that is just in my head all the time.  That it was this polished and hook filled in 1978 just puts it over the top. Moving in stereo, even without its association with Fast Times, has a tense sense of menace to it that gives me chills.  Every other track is either good or flawless. The only reason it isn't a 10/10 is that I'm not compelled to own a physical copy, but it's close.

                    I love this record.  When doves cry is one of my favorite songs and the rest of the songs are fun and just well executed.

                    This has some music.  I was not disgusted.  I like the square beats and the repeating motifs.  Any influence this may have had is so far back in the dialectic that I can't see it from here.  I didn't fall asleep, so...

                    I'm not a fan of live albums.  That being said this is middle of the road classic rock which isn't bad.

                    I love this album.  Alanis sings with such passion and the songs are hooky and engaging.  a good listen all around.

                    whatever they are doing they are doing it well.  I don't think I have a score for this.  I don't want to give it a one because it was bizarrely entertaining.  I don't want to give it 5 stars because I will never listen to this again unless its to share it with other people.  I'm going to give it three stars and walk away slowly.

                    A stark contrast to what would come later.  boring, but what wasn't in 1965.  At least this had a little bluesy edge.

                    It seems so effortless.  I can't imagine a world where these songs don't exist.  I like them but I've been saturated in them, I can't separate them from the ether.

                    There is an earnestness to this record I enjoy.  I think this got in right before irony ruined cool jams.  I've liked the singles from this record forever.  It isn't the best of the best, but it does tickle some nostalgia.

                    It was really nice of Ray Charles to give a bunch of vanilla choral singers and an out of touch big band orchestra an album of his to play on.  I hope that this isn't the only Ray Charles album on the list so I can make it up to him.  I simply can't spend all day listening to this inane nonsense.

                    Just enough punk, just enough grit and best of all I've never listened to this album before this.  Great discovery and it shames me that I haven't heard it sooner

                    I'm glad they're having fun and for that I'm not going to give them one star. I'm not going to listen anymore but I wish them well.

                    I like Van Morrison in general.  I hate live albums in general.  There is nothing here that pushes me one way or the other.  You get my meh.

                    This was pretty good.  It was like elevator music for a very sexy elevator.

                    For the title track, you get 3 stars. Now put down your mics and leave my office before I change my mind.

                    Putting the title track aside, which is amazing, the rest of the songs sound like The doors if you poured a whole shit ton of water on them.

                    Thank you for your interest Mr. Monk, but we've decided to go with someone else.  Your qualifications are magnificent and we can tell you are the kind of candidate that comes around once in a life time, but we simply don't have the kind of work for you that we feel would fulfill you.  If I could invent a position I'd snap you up in a heart beat but I simply don't have the budget for someone of your caliber.  I'll pass your interest on to a few people I know in the industry if you'd like and thanks again for stopping by.

                    I like Iggy Pop.  there are a couple of songs here that I like a bunch and some that I don't like a bunch but like.  That is how I've arrived at this rating.

                    this is barely music.  There's some guy strumming a bunch of instruments and lazily saying shit in a mic.  This is ambian. I want it gone, hear me, gone.

                    Yes, Mr. Crimson please sit down.  We noticed you are taking really long lunches.  and while it isn't any of our business, there doesn't seem to be any meat on your sandwiches.  We're going to have to let you go, 'cause you're weird and you sometimes just drift off into 10 minute long jams.

                    When we first hired you, Lorde, we expected big things from you.  I can't help but notice your beginning to lose the edge we were used to seeing in the beginning.  We'd like to know what we can do better to help you shine again.

                    I love me some PJ Harvey.  This isn't my favorite album of theirs and nothing stands out as amazing, but I just like the band in general and so I really enjoyed just listening.

                    I love the hooks and the flow and the other Hip Hop words.  This definitely stands out and has some very good tracks

                    I love her voice.  The arrangements support her just fine, their just a bit too sleepy.  It didn't detract from my enjoyment but that's why I couldn't go higher

                    I had high hopes for this and that may be inflating the rating.  I wouldn't seek this record out. Still has some moments of goodness.

                    New years Day is one of the best post punk songs I've heard.  I like U2 and this album has a few just awesome songs.

                    Thanks for coming in.  Music is not an endurance test fellas.  You get paid the same either way.  Don't you have hobbies or families to go home to.  I don't want to discourage your hard work but I guarantee no one would hold it against you if you wanted to, you know, take a nap.

                    Thanks to coming in for your review Nanci.  You are a competent worker, but I wouldn't say you blow me away with your performance.  Do you think you add to the overall culture we're trying to build here?  I think you need to take some time to reflect and see if this is the kind of work you want to be doing.  If it is, I think you should give it a full effort.  None of these half measures, really give it your all.

                    Yoshimi has a black belt in karate and she works for the city.  your argument is irrelevant.

                    I had a nice time listening to this.  I like the older feel with the distortion.  It worked for me, what can I say

                    When I first heard Chvrches I had frisson from beginning to end.  I can't explain the sense of future nostalgia I feel get when listening.  They have better albums than this, and that is saying a whole bunch.

                    The Psychedelic Furs don't have a wide range, but the narrow band they occupy is theirs alone.  I find comfort in that.

                    I'm fond of this record but it didn't play a significant role in my life. pretty much a solid rock and roll record.

                    I can't lie, I like the Butthole Surfers I've heard before this album.  this is...a thing.  I may just not be in the mood for free form noise.

                    I like the guitar work and the aimless vocals feel resolved even if I don't know what she's saying.  I don't think it matters.  a nice relaxing listen

                    I like the speed and the guitar work.  I don't like the length and the monotony.  I'm not mad at it, is fine.

                    Neil!  Hey hey my my is one of my favorite songs and then Neil does Neil stuff for the rest of the album.  Great stuff (into the black)

                    I like radiohead.  this album is great but nowhere near their best.  That said I had a good time listening.

                    This gets this score for no other reason than maggies farm.  I wasn't sure I was going to like anything from Bob Dylan.  This album has every song I like by him.

                    Live albums are a novelty.  I don't like them and deep purple isn't good enough to get me to enjoy this one

                    guy falls asleep on a distortion pedal or two and a wailing ghost tries to spook everyone by elongating vowels into a microphone.  I'm sure this is what its like to listen to music on ether.  Maybe ether will help, brb.

                    in six years from this album they would be one of the most transformative musical acts that pop music has ever seen and at the end of their good work.  In this album they are pleasant-enough beanie babies.  Wild.

                    Pleasant enough but no variety.  I just imagine the brothers swaying back and forth for eternity as the smiles on their face threaten to break their heads in half.

                    immigrant song is good, the rest of the album is underwhelming.  The more I listen to led Zeppelin, the less I like them.

                    The best produced album from Cash.  I love his choices on the covers and I love his voice sounding like it got hit by a baseball bat but got up, bloodied, from the ground and dares you to hit it again.  I think I needed this.

                    I had too much fun listening to this album when I was a kid to give it any less.  Still a fun listen.

                    It isn't the albums fault that it now sounds like a parody of mid nineties gangsta rap, but I can't take it seriously.  That's how it goes some times

                    I'm not a huge Rolling Stones fan but this is one of their best records hands down.  I enjoyed listening to this.

                    Christmas songs are the definition of mid, but I liked the production.  I look forward to more from this...Phil Spector.

                    A couple of songs make this a bit better than average.  but not much better.

                    I'll never understand why I like Paul Simon so much.  The music is just seems shifted from another universe that closely resembles ours.  the songs seem like they've existed since the days of bards.  Good fucking stuff

                    Folk music that's pleasant enough.  I love the choice to use some outside the box instrumentation.

                    I didn't know I could not like Joni Mitchell.  I don't like that this album made me face that.  The rating is unfair because of that

                    I love the Smiths, this album is my least favorite.  Nothing wrong with it, but it sounds like the music you would put in a biopic to avoid copyright to the good songs.

                    Yawn...this is slightly better than some of Elvis' bullshit.  but so are cold sores.  Make of that what you will.

                    Live album boo, although James Brown has a bit more energy live I'm sure.  James Brown is fun if nothing else.

                    this has two absolute masterpieces and a whole lot of listenable stuff.  For as much as I say I don't like the rolling stones that much, you wouldn't be able to tell from my scores on the albums I've gotten so far.

                    X is amazing.  Los Angeles should have been here instead but I'm just glad one of their albums made it.

                    Elvis Costello at his most Elvis Costello.  Alison is one of my favorite songs period. This has a bunch of singles that are great as well.  This is my favorite Elvis Costello album.

                    This band has a whole lot of talent, this album was pretty good, intervention and my body is a cage are up there with their best work.

                    The papa to the Pixies mama of 90's alternative.  I never heard them in their hayday but I've heard them in every 90's grunge song since then.  Good stuff, but nothing stands out.

                    There is nothing closer to perfection than listening to this album while staring at the ceiling. I love this album and it has a permanent spot in my top five of all time.

                    She killed this out of the gate.  The voice and song writing are masterful.  The best songs are classics and the worst are simply listenable.

                    I don't, I can't.  I tried, made it to streets of Bakersfield.  The fact that I made it that far got a two out of 10.

                    Not being the best Beatles album is not a sin, still near perfect with some added weirdness.

                    Paul writes a good tune and doesn't know when to end songs.  His lyrics are bare and catchy.  I lovehate Paul.  That comes out to a 3 in my book

                    Nostalgia takes this one.  This was the only album my Dad had in his jeep when I was learning how to drive.  Still incredibly listenable if not my cup of tea normally

                    No thanks, Todd was too mellow in the 70s.  Its like listening to carpet being tred on.

                    This and Disintegration are the best albums made by anyone let alone the cure.  Strange Days is in the running for my favorite song ever.  The Cure is too important to me to be objective so take what I say with a grain of salt.

                    There is a point at which deconstruction isn't interesting.  It's annoying and while I'm sure Mr. Cat had a nice time, I was not invited to his wavelength. update, after the noisy beginning it started getting interesting.  it has a post jazz feel that is oddly regimented and is smooth without putting me to sleep.  Glad I kept listening...not that glad.

                    Nostalgia gave this a high three.  most of it sounds like the continuation of the same song.  come out and play is great.

                    The Gorillaz are fun and I enjoy listening to them.  This is my least favorite album but I still like it quite a bit

                    I can't apologize for liking metallica.  I want to.  I want to think its repetitive and stupid noise.  but I can't.  I like it.  damn you nostalgia.

                    This, on first listen, sounds like ancient swooning pop.  But there is a wistful sadness is some of these songs and I like me a sad song, even if it's bittersweet.

                    This is a good foundational record.  I like R.E.M for the next few albums a bit more.

                    They sure did drum and piano and I'd have no idea if they were good at it, but they sound like they are having fun so, you know, good for them.

                    My dislike for this band is not rational, nor does it need to be.  Some bands rub you the wrong way.  I have no personal opinion of the members, but the music annoys me to no end.  In the end it doesn't really matter.  BLAH!

                    I can't imagine a band that takes less chances.  It's like listening to paste without the fun of eating it.

                    most of this album kicks ass enough for me to survive the just ok songs.

                    It is fine.  This was a bunch of sounds in a not too unpleasant arrangement. there were some sneering English accents, so that's nice.

                    I love Peter Gabriel.  I do not love this album.  there are a bunch of clunkers here.  Still, bad Peter Gabriel is better than some good other artists...

                    Blah.  I did like the cover they did of William Shatner though.  inventive if not as good.

                    Bands in the 70's had way too much time on their hands.  plus this is a live album for no reason.

                    Joe Strummer's been dead for too damn long
                    And now we’re all just numb to what they’ve done
                    You give an inch, and they'll just take your arm
                    No, we don’t fight
                    We don't riot
                    Even when the war's outside our door

                    There is an epic quality to the music here.  I don't have the knowledge to understand how they can make every song sound like it's life or death.  That being said it's a bit dated, not overly so.

                    Very cool.  I've never heard this before.  I quite liked it.

                    This is the Pet Shop boys.  I remember this 40 copies of this album being in the bargain bin at the used CD store.  I like the pet shop boys and this was fine.

                    I got several moments of frisson from this album.  That isn't an easy thing to do, so you get the four stars.

                    Many good tracks.  Spellbound is an amazing song.  The rhythm is driving and it never fails to give me chills.  after listening I bought the album, I had no idea how much of this album I loved

                    I just remember this guy moving his head a lot.  That's all I saw in my head was his weird head movements.  not sure if that colored my enjoyment of the music.

                    You have to hand it to them, this was ambitious as hell and was entertaining in several places.

                    Bossa nova is not for me.  I'm sure the people its for drink wine daily.  This isn't a judgement, just a guess.  you take care now.

                    more of a droning than music.  That said the percussion and vocals were doing the heavy lifting.

                    Let's not make this more complicated than it is.  This bands one song is the best song ever written, which is why they just keep playing it over and over again.

                    I thought I'd be more of a fan.  I love the song "if you tolerate this then your children will be next"  but I'm kind of underwhelmed.  Still listenable though.

                    Nice bluesy rock, but on a live album.  To be fair the sound was pretty good for a live album so I didn't take any points off for it.  They should consider themselves lucky, those that survive leastwise.

                    Like Stevie, but there are far better albums than this.  This is as close to bland music as Stevie gets thankfully

                    It isn't bad, its just I didn't notice when the music stopped.  plus there are some annoying noises in the first track.

                    4 stars for locomotive breath is a good trade.  rest of music isn't offensive and some of it has a nice groove but locomotive breath rules.

                    With every subsequent album, New Order loses a bit of the edge and darkness they had when they were Joy Division.  That being I still like them quite a bit.

                    I did a talent show where I lip synced to Shout.  I've loved this band since I was 7 years old.  This is the first album I ever owned.  No notes.  Everyone wants to rule the world and head over heels are good enough to get this the 10 even without the personal connection

                    The only Led Zeppelin full album I like.  The tracks are great and there isn't a Whole Lotta love anywhere to be seen.

                    This album is inoffensive and seems ready made for hooks for better music.

                    For the love of Christ Steven, stop bumping into the damn sample keyboard.  It cost more than your car.

                    They heavy chords get me excited, then they go into standard rock fair.  So much potential unused makes me irrationally angry, so they get a 3.

                    I like how raw this is.  They got a bit more fancy later and branched out, but this always gets me bopping my head.

                    I should like Nick Cave.  I just don't.  I don't dislike it, but I'm not sure why everyone likes it so much.  To each their own.

                    Solid offering.  I'd only ever heard this is the day for the Empire Records soundtrack.  This album is full of surprises.  The industrial licks in the first track made me think that they got some early ministry samples.  Their instrumentation on some of these tracks are great.  I'm glad I listened to it.

                    I ain't got no beef with Taylor.  This is a pretty solid record.  It isn't my normal fair but I ain't mad at it.

                    I really like XTC.  The flavor works for me, I like how pop it is while being calm.  Dear God is the best song on the record and has made its way on every play list I make.

                    Send him back.  Fucking Elvis.  The vinyl they used to press this record could have been the siding on a slaughterhouse.
                    
                    boring. Fever is a great song and he just drones it like his quaaludes just kicked in.  sounds like he has an actual fever and is sipping soup while singing.  What the fuck, why this guy?
