The Joshua Tree

4/5

Nice music. Not a song on the album that I didn't like the sound of. Easy listening. Pretty hard to believe that some songs on the albums have so much more plays than the others. There's a lot of people who are probably missing out on some good songs because they all just listen to that one track.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Some reasonably good songs. Most of them sound quite repetitive though. Not sure what I was expecting but this wasn't what I thought LCD SoundSystem sounded like. Thought they would be more techno/electronic but some songs actually seemed to have good lyrics. Somewhat easy listening, I think I could enjoy listening to this more than once.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

Good acoustic album with quite a few good songs.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

Sounds ok Some really weird songs. Song plays in spotify go in descending order of plays. I guess a lot of people try this album and can't make it through. Once in a Lifetime is a good song Album doesn't seem to really flow. a few songs are good, but I probably wouldn't listen to it start to finish.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Not great, not terrible. Not really a big fan of albums that just sound like they are someone experimenting with various sounds.

Foo Fighters

4/5

I probably have heard this album before, or at least most of the songs at one time or another, but never really sat down with the intention of actually listening to it. Good album that's probably worth listening to some more. A little bit too much distortion on that last track.

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

Interesting album. Easy listening. Apparently they are Cuban from what I'm reading. Probably haven't listened to any Cuban music before. Has a good sound. Wish I understood the lyrics because I imagine that it might actually be more enjoyable if you actually understand what they are saying.

Tommy

The Who

3/5

A decent album. Not my favourite rock opera of all time. Don't really find the whole life story of the dumb, deaf, and blind kid to be particularly, especially the whole thing with him somehow being a pinball wizard. Sounds are good if you don't think about the lyrics too much.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

3/5

Slayed?

Slade

3/5

Not great, not terrible. Interesting to learn that Cum On Feel the Noise wasn't originally Quiet Riot. That's about all I'm going to say about this album. nothing special.

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

3/5

Finished better than it started. Was ready to skio it by glad I listened all the way. Still not great, but not as bad as it appeared at first. Hoping the next album that shows up is better.

Metallica

5/5

Great album all around. So many good songs. Might have not ever sat down and listened to the entire album before. But glad I did. First really great album I've got from this 1001 album generator.

The Joshua Tree

4/5

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

Was familiar with some of the songs, but was never aware who the band was. Some pretty good songs on this album. Some songs I definitely didn't like.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

5/5

Definitely some good songs on here. Sweet Dreams seems to get all the love. More people need to listen to the rest of the album. Something I've been noticing with a lot of these albums. How one song has over a billion listens and another song has under 100k is just wild. Listening to this twice straight through.

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

4/5

Very interesting album from a band that I've never heard of before. Very good sound.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

So so album, a few good songs. Very well known band but I'm just not that into htem.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

2/5

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

3/5

Some pretty good songs. Don't need the second disc since it's just repeated tracks mostly and I don't need to listen to a bunch of songs over and over again

A Northern Soul

The Verve

3/5

Decent music.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Nice and easy listening.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

1/5

Didn't enjoy at all.
