Great music, though not my preferred genre. Catchy. Would be great background music.
Influential only a couple songs that really pop
The songs, other than Cry To Me, are fine. Solomon songs the hell out of them, but can't quite elevate the material to anything special.
Mick Jagger is mostly unintelligible. His already fuzzy elocution is, for some reason, mixed below not only the harmonica and guitar but also the background singers. Keith Richards guitar riffs carry the weight.
None of the hits, none of my favorite stones songs, still somehow a really good album.
A legitimately great rock album. Equal parts of the Beatles, Nirvana, rolling Stones and The clash; but still distinctively Jack White.
Good synth pop album. didn't strike me as spectacular but maybe just caught me on the wrong day.
Lots of 70s sounds mixed with ska and some proto-hip hop. A fun listen, but not sure I'll come back to it
I was prepared to complain about this being their second best album. But three listens through... I still think it's their second best, but it's pretty damn great.
Otis is great. His voice makes these covers something special.
I'm not generally a huge fan of southern rock but this album surprised me. A few hits I already knew, some great album tracks, great guitar and surprisingly strong vocals throughout.
This album is fine. Angels is great, Clean is fun and trippy, the rest of it is just okay
Definitely important, you can here the influences on rock music for the next 30 years. Amazing voice/emotion/power. A little too experimental for my taste. Glad she made it, I am unlikely to choose to listen to it.
Absolutely wonderful album. Great songwriting and emotional vocals. I could listen this everyday
Classic. This is the beginning of hop hop as we know it. So much misogyny and homophobia, but if you can set that aside, it still holds up.
BTW, Lady of Rage should have been a star.
Overall, not anything special. They do touch Greatness on Back to Life (However do you want me), but other than that forgettable
Great can't, not my favorite album of theirs
Not my style. This may be great but I have no framework to judge it
This album is rad! I don't know that I ever would have listened to it on my own but I did really like it
The 70:s-est of albums. A really good vibe with influences of Beatles and Pink Floyd in The who. First third of the record are available bops. Some solid album tracks as n Mr. Blue sky
Important album by an important band. But their best work (Blue Monday, Bizarre Love Triangle) is not this album and some of the bands they influence do what they do better
A perfectly acceptable album by a band I don't like. Somewhere between Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Most of this album is least less obnoxious than "I believe in a thing called love".
An hour and eighteen minutes of dum and bass feels like punishment. This is good music, I just need WAY less of it.
Great album. I knew most of the songs, but totally enjoyable listen.
For a lot of bands this would have been their magnum opus or Simon and Garfunkel it is just average. Some amazing songs overall really well put together album I was not expecting this album to sound like a proto '90s alternative but you can definitely hear where the influences it had on the Goo Dolls and Gin blossoms
This is an album that I was not on my radar at all. hard to put it in context, it feels old school even for coming out of 94. but really picks up steam in the second half.
I probably would have enjoyed this more if my last album hadn't also been 90s hip Hop this is the most "golden age of hip hop" album I've ever heard
Really wish this was "what's the story" but on its own merits, it's good
0 my favorite album by a band that has several masterpieces and aguably no bad ones
Everything on this album has been done better later sometimes by the same band. Honestly don't understand how this made the list
This is good, but not my genre
Anyone can make a guitar sound like music but to make music out of what I can only assume is someone crinkling a ball of tin foil in front of an oscillating fan while someone else beats on a street sign with two group handles is truly art. This album reminds me of tool, nine inch nails, and iThe prodigy and it is fairly enjoyable listen to what is clearly just noise
The temptations are amazing this album is only very good
I've never really given this album a chance before, it's really really good.maybe not my favorite of theirs but you can see the seeds of everything else they grow into.
Great album really good listen slightly too long
Much more traditional album than I would have expected. Constant Craving is still a bop.
Maybe I can't appreciate it but I did not find anything special about this album
It's about Dylan album. It's exactly what you expect like rolling Stone is one of he's most listenable songs. The whole album is enjoyable
Victory has a great voice. This album is a good listen one or two songs that really stand out
I didn't think I liked A tribe called quest I always thought they were boring this album was a really fun listen
Starts off super strong, but then regresses to just a very good album
I guess this is alt country but it is neither country enough or alt enough to be interesting to me.
Great album. Really indicative of '90s pop rock
This album is good. Not great not bad just good. Moresongs on there that I liked and I was expecting
This is fine. I don't know enough about this band too could have been contacts there's some songs that are really fun and some are doing something interesting
This album it's really good background listen ing and I know there are people get a lot more out of it than I did
This is good but I've had too much experimental / instrumental music recently and couldn't get all the way through it
Really good. Great influence to other things but also good in its own right
This was fine. No impression on me at all.
Vocals make this nearly unlistenable they might be doing something interesting sonically, but I can't even tell.
Drum and bass, r and b. nothing special
Not their best album but still good end to end
Really good album. Not as great as I remembered, but still very good.
The best trip hop has to offer
Powerful singer, only okay songs
Very 70s. Overall good, but tears of Rage and the weight stand out.
Who is this music for? Operatic Alt fusion soul with William shatner Style country lyrics. I literally don't get it.
Great album holding up really well. Need to circle back to it at least one more time.
Way better than I would have expected. A good mix of genres and some great harmonies and guitar work
Great vocals. Weird musical choices. Overly sex focused.
First listen through I thought this album was only okay. But I find myself going back to parts of it more.
. This is probably as good as hair metal gets. The song's been suck my head since I finished it
I like Nick cave a lot more in his murder ballad mode, some good stuff on here.
He has a way of sounding both 70s and '90s at the same time.
This album helps me to understand why people like deep purple. The double live album is maybe more than I needed.
Great album. Almost feels like they are making music that's meant to be sampled
Great album. Not as good as mezzanine but that's a very high bar
First half of the album is as good as any you'll ever hear. Second half is still really strong, but feels like a letdown
Before this album I would have said Queen was the greatest band without a great album. I actually think this out was pretty great
Contemporaries about the Beatles and rolling Stones ends of the doors but lacking their charisma. This album made no impact on me at all
I Love James Brown. I am sure this performance was electric in person, but this album is not
Good but too long.
You're here Keith Moon really giving up exceptional performance
Amazing. You can hear him reach some of the highw he will get to more consistently on Bad and Thriller
Great harmonies. California Dreaming is as evocative as songs get. Probably not circling back to this any time soon, but it is was a good listen.
Nice instrumental, it exceptional
World class lyrics, his voice is good but not great. He really makes you feel the emotions somehow.
Is this album important: certainly. Is it good: probably. Is it a fun listen: no.
This album doesn't hold a candle to what's going on but what does?
Sounds like Velvet Underground and Nock Drake has a baby, in a good way. Chill. Foundation of hipster pop. You can also here a lot of what Sufjan does here.
This was fine. It may have been more impactful when it came out but it's just a 90s album to me now
Kd lang singing country and Western songs is not something I need.
She's a great singer, but doing a weak Patsy Cline
Great groove. Isaac Hayes has one of the most recently recognizable voices in the world. These songs are definitely way too long but they're all good
Great songs. Take five is his catchy of an instrumental tune as has ever been written
Pop punk but More punk than pop. Unfortunately, most of the album doesn't live up to the high point of Maps.
Great album. I always forget they started off as a great rock band before becoming whatever they were on mellon colllie
Definitely of its time, but still solid.
I can appreciate this in a historical context but to me it really just sounds like someone doing what Run DMC does but not as good as they do it.
They are doing some really fun things with instrumentation
I'll be exceptions are fight for your right to party and no sleep to Brooklyn.
Got pumpkin David Bowie with a splash of Pink Floyd
Really defies genres some great melodies and fun instrumentation
Absolutely critical stepping stone for Rock. you can hear the seeds a lot of things will come to 60s and 70s, plus it's a great listen in its own right.
Super fun. I'm not sure that you MUST to listen to, but it is a great dance record
You can definitely understand how David Bowie became one of the biggest rock stars of all time. This album is all swag...
This is fine. '90s rock with '70s fields there's some interesting stuff there but nothing that popped.
This album is weird and way too long
There are songs on this album that absolutely make you understand why Amy winehouse is an icon such a limited career. It's impossible to listen to it without knowing how it all turns out
One of my favorite albums of the 90s
Great album. The hits are unbelievably high and the album tracks are all solid and interesting
Very late 80s hip hop. About twice as long as it needs to be.
This is an album from the 70s, that is all
Unbelievable first half of the album strong second half
Good, but a little too "indie" for me.
35 years later and they're still basically nothing that sounds like fishbone.
This is about as good as singer-songwriter albums get.
I love Joni Mitchell's voice. Her song writing is wonderful but some of these are super dense
None of their best songs but still a very good album
Legitimate masterpiece. Legitimate masterpiece. Every song is a banger. Great guys. The album tracks give you the feeling of lived in characters
It's definitely interesting though I'm not sure if I like it. Probably deserves a second or third listen
I assume this is good it's definitely an interesting lesson. I don't have the vocabulary to really appreciate it
This is a good r&B album but nowhere near the highs of back to black
This is a lesser Bowie. Instrumental is interesting but what I'm here for
Great music that I don't necessarily want to listen to
Great lounge music. Wonderful voice. Most of the album doesn't hold up to the hits
That his album came out in 1991 and be a revolutionary that came out in 81 is crazy. Not necessarily my cup of tea but I can definitely see the influences
I don't rate this anywhere near your loss for life, but it's still a good album.
This is fine but I don't know why it is on this list
One of the greatest albums of all time. No one else could have made this. Encapsulates so much of what makes Prince an icon.
This is not music I would choose to listen to but it's undeniably good. You hear Rock funk soul reggae and psychedelic. Probably could have skipped the 16 minute drum solo track though
Really interesting indie band that I'm probably never going to come back to
Operatic and lots of fun. No major hits, but q good listen.
My particular taste. But I can totally see why they are usually important and a lot of people's favorite
This is my pop blind spot. Softer than the rest of the genre, but more technically interesting
Great album super glad that I discovered
Better than I expected but I prefer their later work. Does have some fun elements of The Beatles and Nick Drake.
I understand why this is an all time great. Not my style, but clearly amazing.
Not my favorite flavor of metal, but I can see their influence
This was a fun lesson to a band I never would have come across
Interesting. I don't know that I've strong feelings on this album one way or another it's not normally the type of music I would choose to listen to
I know a lot of people love this, but it is too backpack for me.
The highs of this album are as good as any album, the middle sags a bit
Not my favorite album of theirs, but "papa was a rolling stone" carries the whole project
Not my favorite albums there but very interesting
Not the best Stevie Wonder album but there's no such thing as a bad Stevie Wonder album
Not something I would choose but good ambient listen
Good album, not great. But a couple major bops
I understand this album is placed in the canon, but I was not prepared to listen to an hour and 45 minutes of it on the date came up. I'll have to come back to it at another time
This is a band that's always been around, but I've never really dug into. The drums are excellent.
Just baba O'Reilly, bargain and behind blue eyes would immediately make this a great album.
Starts off impossibly strong, but weak second half
This is definitely not for me British folk is not my jam
I'm not a huge Neil Young fan, but I kind of get what people like about him
I have no framework for whether or not this album is good or bad
The weird dividing line between the hair metal and metal metal.
Very much an album of its time, but the hits are still hits
Janis Joplin had a unique voice, but this name is kind of all over the place
This is the platonic ideal of what punk rock is
Not my style, I don't have a framework to judge this against
Strong album, but not near his best, which is world class
Great atmosphere. Unintelligible lyrics
I was all set to be bored with these indie darlings. But I kinda love them
Good album, but not my favorite of theirs
For what it is it's really good
Amazing vocals great funk groove. Not the best version of most of their covers
Fine, this is fine. And I love Clapton.
Very solid folk/country/bluegrass album
The flow holds up. The misogyny and homophobia don't.
The hits are as good as Brit pop gets. The filler tracks are still very solid
The big songs hold up even 30 years later, the album tracks not so much
I kind of understand why people who love Elliott Smith do now
You can hear the roots of grunge. This is a rare album that kind of peaks in the middle
One of the best rap albums of the 21st century
This is good as crooning gets n he's not exactly reinventing popular music but the execution is damn near perfect
Surprisingly great Christmas album.
Side one is a little too epic for me, but side two is fun 70s organ rock.
As good as Songs in the Key of Life.
Emo, indie. Nice, but not for me.
Not my jam, but great neo soul
Great album you can hear them moving into experimental from there empirical pop phase
This album is frustrating because it really highlights why these two people need each other. Can't help but feel that there is a good to Great single album stretched out over a double album
This is the soundtrack to schizophrenia
The album might be better than any of its individual songs. Heavy Springsteen influence. Good vibe
Not the best rap album of its time, but solid
Wonderfully interesting. Nothing quite reaches Clint Eastwood, though.
Great album. You hear a lot of Depeche mode and even tool beginning here.
There's a reason this is the most classic grunge album of all time. The performance is amazing but it's a songwriting that really sets apart
None of my favorite songs of theirs very solid album overall.
Super interesting music that I've never used to listen to. Almost every song sounds like a novelty but not in a bad way
Great album, but I think Joshua Tree is better
This is as good as it gets.
The hots don't hold up great, but you can hear why this took over the rap world.
One of my favorite all time albums. Nothing really sounds like it 40 years later.
My favorite Elvis songs but you can hear why he became what he did
This album STILL sounds like the future.
Not quite as great as I remember at the definitely the epitome of late '80s metal
Great Beach boys album but missing some of the experimentation as a pet sounds.
I love Ryan Adams when he's in his old country mode this album has a couple absolute stunners.
Way more important than I expected. Some Depeche mode in Duran Duran but also prog Rock
Interesting, but I'm not sure that is anything I would choose to listen to
Almost all metal is descended form this album
The best nü metal had to offer. Great all around.
A couple great songs, but not my favorite overall
Great grunge introduction, though it gets outshone by their later works.
My favorite album is the color in the shape but this is objectively a better album
Not my jam. Not bad, but not what I would choose to listen to.
Not his best work, but wonderfully incendiary
Beck is always 10% away from being unlistenable noise, but he always pulls it off.
Great album, but kind of suffers from knowing what he'll do on damn.
Some absolutely amazing songs with your overall a great pop album
Great "slow pop" album and intro remains one of my favorite instrumentals ever
Great for what it is but not quite as good as I remember it being.
It's fine but I'd rather be listening to almost any of the other Brit pot bands of the era
Great album! His voice supports these standards as well as anybody ever.
Surprise banger. You hear punk, but also new wave. No songs jump out, but a good experience
Absolute heaven banger of an album nine songs and like six hits
Absolutel banger beginning to end. 15 songs, 29 minutes, nit a wasted second
Great album. Some hits, but generally you can hear why she has been around so long
Early grunge that arguably gets improved on but you can hear a lot of the sounds that will the first half of the 90s
You get a couple of hits and a lot of th "Dylan". I don't know that I'm coming back to this, but I'm glad I listened
The highs are as good as Madonna gets, the album tracks, including one with Prince(!) are a bit of a let down.
I knew a couple songs off this album but I think I slept on it as a whole. It's wonderful operatic metal. I'm glad that I revisited it.
You can see why this is one of the most influential of all times
I can't decide if they are a super weird band making fairly normal music or a pretty normal band making deeply weird music, but either way it's an interesting listen.
This is what the 70s sound like in my head
The highs are insanely high, but the album as a whole is not my favorite.
Stevie is an american treasure, this album is wonderful and not even his best.
I never realized how many of their best songs are on this album
