The mayonaisse of the genre

Bonafide classic, multiple 10/10 songs, not sure there are any skips

This kinda fucking ROCKS

Sparse to no drums throughout, not really that poppy and no real big hits, but sonically consistent throughout. Could be like 2 songs shorter

Very average, 2.5

Pleasantly surprised, can really hear their influence on mid-2000s brit bands

Extremely forgettable/average, disc 2 clears disc 1

Fire, probably no skips, 4.5

Inoffensive cruisin' rock, has one all time banger, like 2.75

Didn't age amazing, has multiple classic tracks

Its fine, better than the white album. A couple classics

Amazing 4.5, crazy for '85

Surprised to see this on here, relatively unassuming late 90s/mid 2000s brit rock, it's fine

This will age amazing, does the interview thing like TPAB

Not my favorite by them, it's solid

Just fine, kinda carried by Fast Car

Heavy orchestral pop influences, not for me had to put it down

Pretty cool, Icelandic post-rock, not sure I'd revisit though

This slaps, not on youtube

Easy to see why they're goated, bohemian rhapsody. I'm kinda whatever on it, is probably technically higher than 3

He's killing it in a way I probably don't understand, good study/work music

Solid, kinda jam-band

Finally, one I've heard already. First 6/10 tracks are no skip, then it gets kinda plain. Astral Weeks still better

Pretty definitively no-skips. Little replayability imo - the tracks are better within the context of the whole project

Solid, Dylan-esque

Pretty crazy for 1974, but not my fav

I like shoegaze, this is a precursor - not for me

Pretty generic, absolutely carried by Jump

Unremarkable, doing what the Beatles had been doing for the 5 years prior and not as well

Not bad for 1968, kinda early Bruce-ish

Fine enough, so 70s - nothing too crazy

Pretty modern for 1963

Not for me

Sounds modern and classic at the same time, will and has aged well

Easy no skips

Meh, kinda shoe-gazey

Live show must be something, very average for 70s

Strange but unique album, crazy for 1968. Carried by Mrs. Robinson

Really smooth

Surprised this is in the generator, really good. Had some saved from this already actually

This was pretty bad

Actually full of bangers

Cant get into Tribe like that, great production aged pretty good for 91

Wow this is so good

Not feeling this at all, pretty derivative with no hits

Not for me, like late Johnny Cash

Surprisingly good

Fine, dance/euro beats mostly

Fine, nothing crazy

Bona-fide classic

Pretty hard no, didn't realize how country he was

Really good, should check out more of his stuff

70 minutes of this is a crime, Black Hole Sun carries. Couldn't finish

Interesting for 1991, didn't age that well

Never hear anyone talk about this, no wonder - it sucks

Scaring the hoes music once again, it's like if Jeff Mangum was bad

Underrated in their discog I feel

Ahead of its time for 1968, wouldn't return to it

Cool for 1983, carried by Sweet Dreams - overall meh

This thing is like all hits damn

Surprisingly good, more jam-band than I thought

Fairly normal rock with some folky-ness, nothing really groundbreaking

Much better than the other Cohen album that came up previously, still doesn't do it for me

Beast, didn't know he wrote some of these songs

One is a HOF track, these guys go hard

Whiny

Not the most cohesive, no hits really

Solid all around, no bangers I hadn't heard before

Very good and underrated

Really good for 60s folk

Really good and succinct

Easy classic

Damn lotta rap coming through now, another easy classic, didn't age as bad as I thought

This band is really all you need from this era of rock

Not for me, couldn't finish

Didn't dislike, but there's not much here

Even excluding Wonderwall this is really good

Nuts for 1969, very experimental, can't see myself returning to it though

More blues/jam inspired than I expected, still reductive - doesn't do anything better than Zepplin II even

Another easy classic

Country, not for me

Not sure why this is on the list honestly

Not hearing anything I'd return to. Foundation of the genre, groundbreaking for the time surely

Nah I'm good on this

Extremely experimental, wow would not recommend, ~50k listeners

Basically Metallica-lite

The mayonaisse of the genre

Fundamental to modern music, not anything to listen to in a vacuum though

All yacht rock is kinda copying them

Wow an album that is actually unknown to me and experimental

Even more experimental than the last, almost techno/dnb, kinda catchy - some of the sampling is bad

Has some bangers, songs kinda blend together

Before Baba O'Reily, lotta covers nothing super special here

Building block for the genre, not a ton of replay value - illmatic and liquid swords are better

Not as bad as I thought it'd be, all the songs sound the same though

Whole band might be slept on, quintessential 80s

Really unremarkable

Tranacendent for sure, wont return to it but it sounds pretty modern

Classic, Blonde clears it by a mile

Solid, all 2 minute songs, poppy/folk of the 60s

All slow jams but much better than the previous Willie Nelson album that came up

All piano, guy's a legend apparently

Cool, has some classics - normal rock

Better than the other Cohen albums so far

Cool, prog rock foundation - kinda all one long song

Country guy, western type songs seem to be bread and butter - first track slapped then fell off

Didnt realize some of the iconic lines that originate from here, super catchy singles - as a project its okay

Sounds like its time but actually pretty good, couple legendary tracks

Has Paint It Black, there's a UK Version without it

Classic Dilla sample on this one, but this is actually some interesting rock

Trying to find a reason this isnt a 5

First track is a classic, never heard of this guy - this is really good

Cool jazz

Not really remarkable, kind of a shoegaze/Nirvana type thing

Huge meh

Late 80s indie, pretty interesting

Influence on early Green Day is apparent

Classic crazy for '96

Thought this would be better, reall not good - avante garde, 2 is generous

Another classic, probably wont return

Rod Stewart, surprisingly good

Pretty crazy for 1979, probably not their best work

Easy classic

Only 9 songs and at lesst 3 are classics

Horn heavy, not for me

'Noise', from Providence actually kinda interesting but little replay value

Meme'd but legit

Really good, Story of OJ sample

Nothing as good as These Days, kind of has the Vashti Bunyan thing going but doesnt commit

This is really good, early Bruce definitely bit their style

Theatrical, meh

Solid, title is apt

Not sure i get fiona

So long, not for me

Full of classics

Cool early rock opera, way too long

Solid, probably sampled 1000 times

Other than Dancing Queen this really isnt great

Full of bangers, 4 stars

Painfully 80s at points, Leonard not clicking for me

Really solid for a late-career artist

Easy classic, 4.5 stars. Like 2-3 songs too long

Really not remarkable

Solid, NMH vibes - not on spotify though

Nothing special, didnt hate it

Message in a Bottle, otherwise so meh

Much better than I expected, acid rock

Debut record, not really groundbreaking

Not on spotify, probably technically amazing, but not doing it for me. Would rather listen to Ornette Coleman

Really not good, avant garde

Not blown away by this

Not as good as back to black

This rocks

Might as well be Beatles outtakes

Fine, doesn't move the needle for me

Solid, rip

Classic

Not my thing, rock - interesting vocals

Kind of 90s disco, not doing it for me

Liked this quite a bit, like pre-Bon Iver, 3.5 stars

Nope!

It's fine

Bunch of classics

Significance is unclear, but its cool

Not my favorite Beck

Carried by hungry like the wolf

Very solid

Don't love it but would feel wrong giving it a 2

Fine, not for me

Pretty good, not far removed from The Smiths

Fine but redundant and a copy of everything from late 60s/early 70s UK

Not bad very cinematic

Easy 4.5 stars

These guys are goated and underrated

Easy 4 stars

Early grunge, not bad

Surprisingly not good, Seven Nation Army carries

Crazy for 1994, yeezus-esque not really for me

Cool, nothing remarkable

Cool, prog rock is prog rock

Nothing really here

Not bad for REM who are usually annoying

Easy classic

First paychedelic album, good stuff

Pretty cool, guaranteed it will be rated low

The rapping didnt age that well, beats are hard despite being heavily rock influenced

This will be rated high, but i found it annoying

This is pretty solid

Not on spotify, solid enough folk rock

Easy classic

Yeah i don't get bjork but not bad

Bowie is sometimes meh

They were going crazy on this

Wanted to like this, not good will surely be rated low

Full of bangers

Really not good

Easy classic

Too long, good grooves, nothing catchy

People love this, cool but not for me really

Solid, as good as Magdelena

Not bad, heavy blues influence

This is fine, David Bowie lite

Pretty cool, should look into more

Rock opera, kinda groovy overall meh

Sounds like 2004, kinda corny

Not amazing, folk mostly instrumental

Probably an underrated band

This is like pre-alpha Artic Monkeys

Definitely one of the better Beatles releases, one of the few that's not overrated. Some points reminded me of Nimrod-era Green Day

Woof, not good. Self righteous, no risks - might as well be AI

Fine, guys a beast - I'm meh on the whole piano thing

More solid than I expected

Pretty cool

Classic bangers for sure, but kinda for the lowest common denominator

Absolutely nothing going on here, I have bootlegs with better quality

Bonafide classic, multiple 10/10 songs, not sure there are any skips

Goated, multiple classics

Lyrical miracle spiritual - was never going to age well

Same as every Elvis Costello album

Same year as For Emma, doesn't hold a candle

Definitely didn't age great

Pretty cool for 1967, basic but cool it's only three guys

Didn't age that poorly

Guitar slaps but not really blown away

Straight rock, long songs, actually pleasantly surprised

Definitely out there for 1967, interesting

Probably closer to 5 than 4

Definitely doesn't sound dated but I'm never gonna love this

Jeez 2 hours long, it's fine but length is a deal breaker

This came out in '98, would've been a massive snooze for' 78

Cool stuff

One of the better Beatles albums

Solid, Clapton really is about it guitar-wise

Good stuff, jam band esque

What a joke, one good song. Song about dinosaurs lmao

Literal garageband music

This kinda fucking ROCKS

Jazz, really solid

Before they blew up? Good stuff

This is like Ren fair music almost, cool

Pretty cool, Doechii and Little Simz clear

This sucks

Didn't love this comparatively to other outkast projects, the highs are very high though

I don't see the genius tbh

Meh, it's 90s rap

This is going to get a 2 or worse but this is pretty influential - there's actually some hing here

This is very hard

Trash

Certified classic, didn't age poorly

Mediocre

Yeah this is a classic

Actually cool for '81 but nothing crazy

Fine, held up by a couple big hits

Probably more influential than "great", still crazy for 1967

Cool, nothing crazy

Some bangers, average overall

Carried by Bloody Sunday tbh

Liked this quite a bit

This might get 1 star, tough listen

Guy's jamming

They have grooves, but a tough listen

Good jams, black magic woman

Easy classic, but doesn't grab me

She has bars, beats didnt age bad

Carried by title track, fine overall

Never gonna get it! Although this is most paletable

Very meh as far as the smiths go

So bland wow

Brazilian heavy metal, didn't not enjoy

"first country rock album", snoozer

Really not distinctive at all

OG goat, good vibes

Fine nothing crazy

Pretty lame tbh

No idea why this is on here

This is fine but nothing crazy

Was this groundbreaking for 2004 or something? Snooze

Prog rock, doesn't move the needle at all

Yeah this ain't much, fever ray-lite at times. Songs don't really go anywhere. Lotta 2's lately

Huh Nick Cave's band, lotta 2's lately!!

Reviews are gonna be blinded by nostalgia, this isn't really anything

Cult classic but overall it's just fine

Good stuff

Didn't know this was a girl or that she was british, really good - thought it would be country but it's more orchestral

Pretty weak, Girl from Ipanema singer

Pre-Eileen let's see if it's better than that one post-Eileen album I got earlier. Nope lead singer things he's saying some deep shit but this is meh

Best project I've gotten in a while, beast

Bet this will be rated high but I found it meh

Cool probably earth shattering for 1966 but not the best album ever, although very solid

German ambient synth, cool stuff - JayDee sample on Sequent wow

Fine, groovy

Surprisingly not dookie

Prototype Bob but solid

Run of the mill

Haven't heard a good Byrds project yet

Two discs, 3/12 tracks missing on Spotify, but no way this doesn't get rated poorly Yeah not for me, although groovy

3 bangers off the bat then fades

Goat, but no replayability

Gonna be carried by Do You Want Me Wow even that song sucks Early synth, this went number 1 in the UK lol

Kinda like a modern Leonard Cohen, fine

Oh boy don't recognize any songs here so maybe no hits? Interesting they had a surgance in the 90s Not necessarily bad but extremely bland rock

This is just fine nothing crazy

Know I like this already Yep this is great

Early 2000s, getting a little miracle lyrical spiritual Too long, yeah this is meh

Kind of in the middle of two genres, it's fine

This is cool, way more palatable than The Birthday Party, getting closer to Nick Cave clicking

Ton of bangers on here

Got the big hits but not better than Survival

Quite good, different than the bland rock of this time. Really blues heavy, pretty southern too

Very very good, tight project

Not sure if coincidence this one came up, solid enough too pop for me

Meh, shes cool but it's like poetry set to music

Pretty much no skips, Factory is worst song and that's still like 3/5

Free bird but this is actually fantastic, unique rock for the time (finally)

This is bad, typical Euro house - didn't even finish way too long

Really solid and refreshing for the time period, folk influence

This was really not amazing

Kind of subdued

Really not great, no risks at all

Sparse to no drums throughout, not really that poppy and no real big hits, but sonically consistent throughout. Could be like 2 songs shorter

Lyrical miracle, early Premier beats show some flashes

Doors might be over rated

Good jazz kinda zoned out on it

Low key kinda bopped

Some tracks are really dated, some classics too

Beats are fire, some true classics here - like 3 songs too long

Might be the first Bowie record I actually kinda liked here

Solid not a lot of replay value

It's fine enough, typical early punk. Maybe a little more polished than most of this era

Total ass

Good stuff, folk/country

Pretty fantastic

Fine, meh UK ska

Fine nothing to write home about

Pretty solid actually, some dilla beats in here

Early alternative, biting Lou Reed pretty hard. Not bad though

Rocks hard, didn't even mind it was 90 mins

Pretty easy classic, KWest beats are top tier, gets a little lyrical miracle at times

Funny follow up after Be, this is an undisputed classic

Knew this was coming, fire

Flashes of NMH, pretty ass

Pretty solid, might like San Quentin more

Thought it would be worse for so late in the career

Really solid, Yorke's voice not that grating on this

Underrated, these guys rock

Solid, not a ton of replayability

Sneaky fire

Pretty hard rock, not moving the needle

Fine, carried by Highway to Hell

Pretty refreshing for late 80s brit rock, still nothing special

Pretty cool, not a ton of replayability

Good but it's going to be way overrated

I liked Arise better but these guys are lowkey groovy

I've been due to give a 2, good god modern UK rock post-Strokes is a snoozer

An actual deep cut, <7k listeners on Spotify. Very theatrical, pretty cool

This is good, not a to of replayability. Could probably be a 4

Always interesting, it's fine

More influential than good

These guys don't click for me

Unremarkable, will get a 3 but doesn't have much going for it. Glam rock

Oh let's go this is so good, might be the best album that's come up yet

Quite solid, not one dimensional UK punk

It's pretty cool, cover is sick

Impressive voice, otherwise typical pysch/blues

This is trash

Obviously a legend but this is whatever for 1976

This actually sucks

This is fine, kinda ahead of its time for 2002

These guys are just B tier through and through

Really solid stuff here, although probably not super high replay value

"World" music is always cool

Crazy how high Bob raised the bar for the genre, carried by one song - almost has some good samples

Hugely overrated wow

Cool stuff

1978 is way too late to be making this type of music

Fine enough more late 70s punk

Banger

One of the bigger sleepers on this list

Snoozer, 2010s indie folk

Extremely millennial-core, don't love this

Oh here comes more late 70s punk... great

This is OK, more millennial core

Not for me
