Different Class

Pulp

4/5

Think driving down the countryside in a droptop Volkswagen beetle wearing brown corduroy bellbottoms heading for a weekend beach party with a group of similarly stoned friends, playlist. Lots of focus on the NSFW part of this scenario.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

Fans of Bob Dylan may enjoy, but wasn't for me. A lot of similar sounding songs in my opinion

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Not the best Album by Bob Marley & The Wailers. A few classics at the end of the album, but overall just OK

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Solid album. Great listen

Queen II

Queen

5/5

5 Big Stars. Always enjoyed Queen but never listened to much of their music. Really enjoyed this album.

Traffic

3/5

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

Pretty good album. Not a Tom Petty fan but the album was good. Short and sweet.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Easy listen. Heavy on the instrumentals but nothing too special about it to me

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

Not my style. Also, not the album's fault but kinda tired of the older similar sounding albums. Was ready for it to be over.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

1/5

I don't get it.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

some classics on there. decent

Garbage

4/5

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

3/5

Kinda boring. May sound better at a bar.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

1/5

maybe 2 listenable songs in the album.

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

3/5

Wouldn't say it's a must-listen. But I enjoyed it.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

2/5

not my kind of music but well put together and everything.

The Predator

Ice Cube

5/5

some classics

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

Why isn't zero stars an option?

Blur

4/5

Good album and is still relevant in todays music. Would listen to this again

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

great album. still relevant today.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

some great singles on the album. But album is a bit one-dimensional

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

Enjoyed the album. Some funky and soulful songs

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

1/5

Sorry, just cant reconcile the voice to the music. But good voice for audiobooks and good music for sesame street and sing alongs.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

would give 10 stars if I could. I am bias growing up listening to this music but would give 5 stars to every song on this album

Live!

Fela Kuti

2/5

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

1/5

Too many 'WTF is this' songs on the album. The remaining songs weren't good enough to bring the rating above a 1

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

I don't know much about rock music artists but I enjoyed this album. Good tracks with some unique arrangements

The Stone Roses

5/5

Pleasantly surprised. All tracks are good one this one

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

I get the Album. I get the lyrics. Funny hearing Drake on the album. Was decent

Bad Company

3/5

It's good. Good songs for karaoke, good tracks to listen to. I would give it a half point more if I could. 3.5 stars

Chris

Christine and the Queens

2/5

Voice is like Ellie Goulding so a good singing voice. Sorry, was just a bit bored listening to it. Lets say 2.5 rounded down to 2; but absolutely not rounded up to 3.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

4/5

I might have had this CD when I was younger. I may rank it higher because of it.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

5/5

The album cover had me expecting a different vibe. Stevie is incredibly talented, and really enjoyed this album. Funky, groovy, and def worthy of being on this 1001 album list. Enjoyed the classic hits from this album still being played at almost every good corner bar, at least on Bourbon Street.

Caetano Veloso

2/5

I always get scared when there’s psychedelia described in the album. Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised. Would I listen to it again? No. But the musical arrangement flowed nicely and I appreciated the rhythm. I would give this 2.5 if I could.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Really joyed the musical arrangements and strong blues influence, with strong vocalists. Yet lyrically similar to that of a drunken redneck.

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

Solid live performance. I enjoy a good live performance. Guitarist, Band and Vocalist on point. But a whole album of a live performance? Not sure, but why not.. 3.5/5

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

The first track on the album should be the last track on the album, or just not on the album. The ballad should be deleted. Some sneaky tracks changing genres 2 mins in. Call me crazy but I really enjoyed it minus the bad ones. The good tracks were great. The bad tracks are annoying. I loved the guitar; don't know what any lyrics were only because I was more engrossed in the music not the singing.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

3/5

I can seriously appreciate the skills and talent. However this is a bit out of my realm. Seems a bit repetitive without much variety in some of the tracks. Have to give props for execution.

Beautiful Freak

Eels

2/5

Boring af. It's getting a 2 because the arrangements are good and there have been some true 0's on this 1001 list that I had to give a 1 to. I wouldn't group this album with them.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Not a fan. Unmemorable.

Winter In America

Gil Scott-Heron

2/5

forced singing voice a bit. lots of focus on vocals and seems shout-singing at times. lovely jazzy music, but there's better out there.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

2/5

Just a 2. Maybe a 2.5 but OK

The Doors

4/5

enjoyed this one. Good melodies, good vocals, catchy music. Good overall

Damaged

Black Flag

3/5

obviously punk. If you love punk, listen to it. If you don't, then don't. I don't but am giving it a 3 for truly embracing being punk. And that's all I can say.
