Ahhh the soundtrack of my middle/high school dances. I'm kind of surprised they let us listen to this. 😳

Stevie Wonder

2/5

I didn't love it! 😫 Please don't kick me out.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Much better than the other Stevie. Learned a lot about people who sample him!

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

Good stuff.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Maybe my favorite entire album of all time.

Led Zeppelin

4/5

For some reason I just want to be drunk while I listen to this album.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

♥️♥️♥️

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

I know this is really good music. I just don't have an emotional connection to it.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

2/5

Eagles

3/5

You know what? I love those few songs, but I was really disappointed with the rest of the album! I'm going to get kicked out of our club I'm sure.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

2/5

Not for me.

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

1/5

The 70's were wild, man.

Damaged

Black Flag

3/5

Some good stuff. But we're just so angry...

The xx

4/5

I love this album. One of my faves for work background music.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

Love. I want to curl up in his voice and take a nap.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

I knew I'd love it, but didn't realize how much. I ended up watching it on YouTube and it's just haunting.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

I just love music and its beautiful variety.

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

3/5

Good, I just don't have an emotional connection with it.

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

2/5

Too much chaos for me. I can appreciate some elements of it but it just annoys me that it never really comes together.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

Their bangers are bangers. Their other stuff, meh.

Meat Puppets II

Meat Puppets

4/5

I don't know how I would have felt about it if I didn't know that three of the songs from Nirvana's Unplugged album were covers from this album. But since I knew that, I heard it as a thread connecting Zeppelin and the Ramones with Nirvana. Yeah his voice is annoying but I really just wanted to go smoke a cigarette in a bar and hear them live with Kurt and the boys.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

Meh. Dancing Shoes was on heavy rotation for me when this came out but I could never get into it as much as some people did.

Fleet Foxes

3/5

I bet people love getting high and listening to this at Red Rocks while wearing Keens and man buns. Too mellow for me.

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

4/5

Totally embarrassed that I never knew about Faces. So glad for this app and my aunt & uncle! ☺️ Of course Ron and Rod are amazing but I love the keyboards!

Moby Grape

3/5

I LOVE the instrumentals and then feel like the lyrics/vocals kinda ruin it.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

2/5

I just can't with the jam band stuff.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

2/5

Ok on the heels of a few albums where I thought "I'm so tired of musicians who are just impressed with themselves and don't care about entertainment value unless the music is paired with party favors" it was hard to hear this for the amazing music that it is. I would love to sit in a smoky bar in a big city and listen to this. But as it was I was in the car with my kids screaming and it just ... added to the cacophony. Sorry to the millions of people and Coltrane himself that I have seriously offended.

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

3/5

Some really beautiful songs. I loved April the 14th.

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

2/5

More annoyed than impressed. But there were definitely some catchy bass lines in there.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

4/5

I forgot how much I love The Doors.

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

3/5

Ahhh the soundtrack of my middle/high school dances. I'm kind of surprised they let us listen to this. 😳

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

2/5

I mean, there was nothing terrible about it. I was just bored.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

2/5

If I'm sticking to my rating system, I WAS more annoyed than impressed. But it's not poor Crosby's fault. I'm just ready for the generator to get away from folk/psychedelic. My Spotify is now almost exclusively recommending Radiohead for me because it thinks that's all I listen to.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

So many bad words!! It made me wonder if Eric can still rap Break Ya Neck. I wish he'd play with us. <sigh>

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Love love love.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

Some of it was ok, kinda reminded me of Portishead. But overall not really my jam.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

2/5

I can't, sorry.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

4/5

I've never heard this album! So good.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

1/5

I couldn't even listen to it. Yuck.

New Wave

The Auteurs

3/5

Ok, nothing earth-shattering but nothing too annoying either.

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

5/5

I think the scales tipped towards a five on this guy not because it is so good and I didn't realize all of these songs were on one album, but because the playlist Spotify played when it was over was incredible. Cyndi Lauper, Bryan Adams, Toto, Kansas... just so good.

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

3/5

Fun fun fun. Much more enjoyable to listen to than lots of other albums on here. But I really want some chips and salsa now.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

Now that's music.

Paul Simon

4/5

I've always been somewhat annoyed by Paul Simon's solo stuff. But this is a good album!

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

3/5

Loved the title track. A little morose for four stars but it is really good.

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

2/5

Sorry, more annoyed than impressed. I know it's Brian Eno... I just can't.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

4/5

I didn't realize that I associate steel guitar with country music AND The Byrds, yet here we are. Loved it.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

Unimpressed by the rest of the album but I love I've Seen All Good People. a)I also love how they have the tracks organized in outline format! b)that's all.

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

I almost gave it a five and then I thought of other Beatles albums that are better and wanted to make room for them. ♥️

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

2/5

At first I was digging it and as it went on I started to hate it.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Just like the Beatles, I had to grade on a curve against his other albums. A five compared with the other albums in the world, but this isn't a five the way Born to Run is a five. Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Not my favorite Doors album, but it's still the Doors

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

2/5

Not for me.

Roots

Sepultura

1/5

I guess I can't say I listened because I only made it through half of the first song.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Not as good as the Folsom version, but I love these albums.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Man, some parts of some songs were pushing me towards a five rating. But overall, solid, enjoyable rock-n-roll.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

Love Depeche Mode

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

2/5

I had Jack and Cal help me rate this and they actually gave it rave reviews.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

Not for me

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

There's just something about an album that came out the year you turned 21... Lots of memories. And I was surprised by how many different styles they sampled.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

Pretty good. Never heard of them before this! 😳

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

2/5

I couldn't do it

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

Lost Souls
