Went with a private Spotify session. Turns out it was a good call because I found this album to be very bland without the upbeat hits I had come to know ABBA for. I can't imagine ever wanting to listen to this again, it didn't annoy me, so it's not getting 1 star, but came awfully close.

No private session needed for Spotify. Loved the couple of hits they had in the 90s from this album, I had listened to this album in the past, but except from the hits nothing stood out to me which is probably why I never went back to it, but it's still a great album.

No idea what I was getting into here, but went without a private Spotify session. This album is incredibly pleasant, not my normal jam, not that is a bad thing. Mellow, sweet and thoughtful. Seems like a great album for a Sunday morning.

I have always loved this album, though I had to stop listening to it because some of the great songs on it got way over played on the radio and when you listen on cassette tape, it's hard to skip. I still listen to it a couple times a year and I always find the themes in it interesting: stalking, extinction, sadism/masochism and murder. These were themes in a number one album, I am a little out of touch with number one albums today but isn't it all about breakups and unrequited love. The song Synchronicity II is probably somewhere in my top 50 song.

Late 80s to mid to late 90s I disliked Beastie Boys and this album is why. It's full of misogynistic novelty songs. Much later, I think when Hello Nasty was getting a lot of radio play, did I revisit them. Hello Nasty, Ill Communication, Check Your Head, Paul's Boutique are all incredible albums with clear purpose and style. It got me to really appreciate the musical journey and maturation of the Beastie Boys. It also left me a little upset I missed out of 10+ years of listening to new music when it was new. I still dislike this album.

I liked the rhythm and the melody, but I didn't connect with lyrics as I don't understand the language. Lyrics are important to me and these might be great lyrics, but they are lost on me. My loss. Anyway, it sounds like it could be a great album, but it won't make it into my rotation.

Meh, not for me...I'm not the hip.I like some of the songs, there were parts that reminded of 70s soul that I was getting into, but I have never been into that rhythmic grunting into the mic and this album is full of that. Yo. uh. yo.

I have heard some of the songs, but have never listened to the album. It was a good experience, so good I did it twice. Liked a lot of the songs and loved the guitar, so much I had to lookup the guitarist, it's Eddie Hazel. I will have to file this one away for whenever I am feeling funky.

I was in college when The Doors movie came out, I swear everyone had that soundtrack and the music from it was ubiquitous. I got so burned out on The Doors I went out of my way to avoid hearing them for decades. Burnout aside, there is no denying this is a great album.

It's been said that AC/DC has made one album but released it a dozen times. I tend to agree, but it's ok if that album is good. These albums are straightforward balls to the wall rock and there is certainly room for that in this world. Washing a Camaro to in my driveway while wearing ill fitting denim shorts and a tank top seems like a perfect time to listen to it, but playing it on a Friday afternoon will wrapping up for the week works, too.

I loved this album since the first time I have heard, which was several decades ago. It has some of my favorite guitar on it and great lyrics. The lyrics were that more intense when I learned the backstory of the album and who it was they were wishing were here.

I think I could really get into this album, digging the beats and the flow of the lyrics; however I probably won't ever listen it again because of the prolific use of the n word. I grew up in Northern Idaho, plenty of racists who used that word out of hate and ignorance so now it jars me like a record scratch. I get the idea of trying to own that word, but I don't want it anywhere near my vocabulary. I feel like an eavesdropper listening to music that isn't for me and I probably am.

From this album I only knew "Cisco Kid", heard it lots on the radio as a kid. Listened to the album three times, funky and eclectic. Great listen.

I was a little apprehensive when I read "Dub" in the title as I hate DubStep, but then I saw the date the album was made and started feeling better. Then I listened to the album and felt great! I don't recall ever hearing about Pere Ubu. After listening to the album, as much as I enjoyed it, I can understand why it stayed underground and why I had not heard of Pere Ubu.

If I was a middle aged divorced woman who trying to get motivated, I think this album would connect with me. For the record, I am not a middle aged divorced woman. This album does nothing for me except make me desire for the end. Great voice though!

Like a lot of people I loved Nevermind, then, probably like a lot of people was kind of surprised when the follow up In Utero had such a more raw sound. Turns out that is what Kurt wanted after not liking how polished Nevermind was and he gets that in the second track "Scentless Apprentice", "Milk it", "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" and even the guitar solo to the radio hit "Heart-Shaped Box". Speaking of the raw sound, RIP Steve Albini. Oh, and yes, I love the album

Mellow piano driven music with a sweet and sincere voice, nice blend of instruments and a jaded sarcastic view of the world, trying to say something. I like it. Randy's sound is so distinctive, it's hard not to picture Woody from Toy Story, strolling through the south, possibly singing the lyrics to Rednecks.

I was a big Blur fan at the time Gorillaz came out, so of course I had to check this out. I liked the album a lot and it was on constant rotation for a while, it liked the upbeat tempo and how it was different, hip hop for white nerdy guys. Pretty sure this was the first cartoon band I liked since Bam-bam and Pebbles.

I didn't want to listen to this album. I just find this type of music bland. After waiting for my wife to leave for work, enabling a private session in Spotify, I went for it. My trepidation was not unwarranted. This music is bland and does nothing for me. 60 minutes is too long for this.

I love this album, have it on vinyl and CD. I stopped listening to it because some of the songs on it got overplayed on the radio, to the point that I don't want to spend anymore time of my life listening to music and hearing these songs again. But hey, now that I stream everything it's easy to say "Hey alexa/google/siri next song."

LCD Soundsystem: the band that made no longer hate the electronic/dance music genre and opened me up to a wider music world. This album is another of their awesome collection of songs. I like the beats, the synths, and the thoughtful lyrics. I can enjoy music I can spastically dance to without taking MDMA.

I didn't like a lot of music that came out of the eighties, especially the music I was forced to listen to on the radio and NightTrax. To synth heavy, drum machines, bass from as synth. This album is the epitome of 80s music I didn't like. There are a lot of songs that are considered "classics", classics for the eighties, but still classics.

I liked the blend of country/jazz/rock but after several listens, nothing really called out to me as something I needed. I tried to imagine a scenario where I would like to listen to this album, but the only the only one I could think of is an acid trip in a dive bar. That thought scares me, so I conclude this album is not for me.

I don't know what to do with Ambient music. I suppose I am not supposed to be actively listening to it, but have it in the background to provide a mood. Like the Muzak in an elevator. Unlike some music, there is nothing that bothers me, there just isn't anything to get into. Ambient music being it's goal, I have to give it credit for hitting that.

Music from my childhood, doing loops around the Roller Rink after our parents would drop us off on a rainy Saturday morning, wholesome kid fun while drug deals were happening near the bathrooms. That last bit of information wouldn't matter to me until later. The Orchestra part of ELO is what makes their music fun and cinematic, making my awkward loop around the rink epic.

I love this album, easily in my top ten and one of the albums I can just sit and listen to, rather than treating it as background music. This is one of the albums that I have listened to for decades and as my life changes, I get more and different meanings from the songs. I love Gilmour's guitar work in this album, I love the lyrics, not generally a saxophone fan, but it works here.

I only knew this album from the cover Sweet Jane, great version. I like this album mellow yet groovy, with a beautiful haunting voice. This album works best on maybe a lazy Sunday morning when you have no interest in getting amped up but just want stay lethargic.

I like Tom Petty, his impressive catalogue of music is one those that chronologizes my life, or at least the first 4 decades. Most of his work with The Heartbreakers I get from the radio or his Greatest hits album, so it was good to deep dive into one of his earlier works. I like this album, but when I am in the mood for older Petty I will probably go back to the greatest hits.

Well, this rocks. Straightforward, uncomplicated rock.

I could get into this, maybe hanging out on Friday evening drinking martinis? I don't drink martinis and I don't plan on starting, so I will have to work out something else. It's mellow, it's chill, it's Frank's voice and phrasing.

Of hip hop and rap I have said that it feels like I am eavesdropping, listening to music that wasn't made for me. I don't feel that way with this hip hop album and not just because they were sampling Hall and Oates. It's funky, it's fun. Never been a huge fan of skits between songs, they get repetitive after a few listens of an album, but this album is still a joy.

I don't like Ska.

Jazzy, funky, excellent bright, crisp guitar work. What is not to like??

I like angry music, but this pushes it. I think I could get into everything except for the vocals, but still I rather listen to this than Taylor Swift.

I loved this album when it came out and I still love it. Not at all what I expected after The Bends and OK Computer, but still fantastic, lots of synthesizers, but not in a 80's way, but more orchestrated.

I had never sat down to listen to this album, but somehow I knew all the songs. It's what you would expect heavy rock mixed with the blues.

I wasn't aware reggae could be so bland. When I saw it was UB40 I thought I would have to listen to that annoying cover of "I got You Babe" or the pointless cover of "(I can't Help)Following in Love With You" or obnoxious cover of "Red Red Wine", luckily no, it was just some truly forgettable music, music as interesting as the form on the cover of the album.

I liked this a lot, not sure when I would put it on in my regular music listening day, but this is good. I forgot how nice and smooth Ray's voice is.

I like the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs. This is one of their albums I didn't get into as much as their first, I think its because this more mellow and more slickly produced. This album sounds like it is dance floor ready, I didn't mean that in a good way. Still love Karen's voice.

This is the album that got me into REM, probably not the album really both some of the songs on it. I wasn't confident enough in high school to own a REM album, that was for the goth kids who were comfortable enough to be different, though they were all being different together. Those last two sentences have nothing to do with the album. Stipe's voice, Buck's guitar and 11 songs that rock.

I began my life as an office stiff no too long after this album came out, long before streaming, even before people could carry around their entire music library in their pocket, I had about three CD's at my desk I could rotate through. This album was one of them, I loved this CD and listened to it several times a day for a good year. Needless to say I had to stop, not just because I was listening to it all the time but some of the songs were also getting constant radio play. I love Soundgarden but don't listen to this album much because I wore it out. Great to revisit it, it rocks.

I appreciate The Clash for their significance in punk and alt rock, I like a lot of theirs songs but have trouble sitting through an entire album of theirs. This one is alright.

I used to listen to this album on rainy nights, haven't had one of those in a while, but I need to keep this album in mind for the next one.

Next time I am working in the garage I am putting this on.

My dad is a Buddy Holly's fan, so I am familiar with this music. In fact I spent far too long trying get the percussive strumming pattern correct on "Not Fade Away". I like this album, but don't know if I would ever put it on, unless I was trying to make it like I was in the 50's.

I like metal, but this is just a little to thrash for me. I like the black album, which i know would make true Metallica fans call me a poser and I am ok with that.

I like it, won't ever be in heavy rotation, but another remember this on a rainy Thursday afternoon.

Of course I was familiar with The Kinks, but not this album, I probably have heard some of the songs but not a lot of them. While listening to the album the second time through I realized that this had to be a concept album and there was a story here, so I looked it up.

I got really excited for this album after the first song, but then it went into the whole "background music at a strip club" genre, heavy bass and drums, keyboards and lots of moaning.

Incredible voice. I really liked the upbeat songs, but the mellow songs forced black and white images of women breast feeding their babies near a window or doing yoga. Adele, great for you for being able to create those images, but I don't want them.

From what I've read every song on this album is about drugs and addiction. Luckily I can't relate to that, but I do love this album.

I had never heard this album before, though it did have a familiar sound. It seemed very much of it's time despite the diversity of the music.

It's a classic, lots of hits.

I had this on CD for a while, but listening to it depressed me. It's a great album, but not good for my mood, I gave it to a girlfriend at the time because she seemed to like it. I know there are a lot of classics on this album and I can microdose these maudlin masterpieces, but I can't listen to an entire album without wanting to dress up in my finest brown corduroy, find a bench in Central Park in the fall to sob on.

My older sister had this on cassette growing up, so it got a lot of rotation at the house and on road trips. Probably one of my favorite keyboard solos every on "Head over Heals"

Not my favorite Black Keys album, but it's a good one.

I occasionally go through phases where The Best of Stevie Wonder is in high rotation. It's not the official "Best of" but one I rolled on my own, without songs like "I Just Called to Say I Love You", "Part time Lover" and "Overjoyed", for reasons I hope I don't have to go in to. Though "Overjoyed" is on a Yacht Rock Playlist of mine. So when I listened to this album I avoided checking out the track list in advance to be surprised by the tracks. I was surprised by some of them, didn't find anything to add to my "Best of", but already had a couple on there.

Another listening adventure today, I know Massive Attack but have never sat through one of their albums all the way through. I liked it, sounded better in the afternoon's listening session than the morning's.

Classic, but seems dated.

If someone ever asked me "What is honky tonk?" I would point them to this album a definitive work on honky tonk. It epitomizes, screams and bleeds honky tonk. I don't like honky tonk, though.

Classic, listened to it twice. I don't know if I will ever put it on, but will try to remember.

I had heard this version "The Girl from Ipanema" before, or at least one of the versions before, didn't realize it was a whole album. Lovely.

I don't know if was me or my sister who had The Best of Queen on cassette back in the day. It doesn't really matter, as it was a family favorite and played consistently on road trips. Played so much that I can no longer handle those hits and got tired of Queen, but now that I am older I can like going through Queen's catalog and listening to the songs that weren't ruined for me by overplaying.

I try to separate the music from the musician as much as possible, but Clapton makes it hard. Beyond that this is a fine album, I like blues, but the meandering blues gets a little old and repetitive, the only thing interesting after a while is the guitar solos, even that gets a redundant. Layla is a classic, but so much so that it gets filed under songs I never need to hear again.

Not for me. I have gone on about how I feel listening to albums with heavy use of the N word.

Classic, unique unmistakable style.

mumbly, dramatic, yelly, saxophoney. Never got the man's appeal. I still don't.

I use Spotify and I have learned that a lot of these albums will really screw with the recommendation algorithms if I don't use the "Private Session" option, looking at you Taylor Swift and Adele. There are other times I see an album and definitely want it change my recommendation algorithms, this is one of the albums that I thought would add a good funk skew.

Used a private session on Spotify, I have learned this is important to not mess with recommendation engine for Spotify. And now I feel compelled to report on it, there will never be an album that gets five stars if I deem a private session necessary. Anyway, about a decade or so I read a headline in the Onion that said "Eric Clapton's next album will be a blues inspired rock". I am paraphrasing, but I don't know if I ever laughed as hard as anything from The Onion. It still makes me smile. Kudos for Eric for covering a reggae song, instead of just blues standards.

Didn't use a private session on Spotify. I have heard most of these songs, but never sat down and listened to the whole album. I was amazed how repetitive this crap is, maybe it should only be played in the background, maybe it should only be listened to when you are tripping balls, but when soberly focusing on the music, this crap is annoying. I don't want to use the word repetitive again as it would be repetitive but Fatboy has no issue being repetitive with beat or being repetitive with the lyrics, so why should i avoid being repetitive in my use of the word repetitive?

Did not use a private Spotify session. Yes, this a classic album. Smoke on the water is so popular and easy to play it gets banned from guitar stores. I have actually seen this sign in guitar stores and not just in Wayne's World. File this album under albums to listen to while I work in the garage.

Did not use a private Spotify session. Classic psychedelic ball tripping stuff. Don't believe me? Look at the album cover, fool.

Private session on Spotify. Spotify has been trying to turn me into a Morrissey fan for years, not interested. After listening to this album, still not interested.

Went with a private Spotify session. Turns out it was a good call because I found this album to be very bland without the upbeat hits I had come to know ABBA for. I can't imagine ever wanting to listen to this again, it didn't annoy me, so it's not getting 1 star, but came awfully close.

No private Spotify session needed. Not my favorite REM album, those came later. Not my least favorite either, those come much later. I like it, listen to occasionally.

I did not use a private Spotify session. I knew several of the songs, of course, but hadn't listened this album. Probably because I thought I had heard "Lust for Life" enough for one lifetime, but that isn't even the best song on the album. I heard a lot of Pixies/Frank Black on this album, wasn't aware of that before.

No private session need for Spotify, I enjoy this album, and that over played song in conveniently the first track so it's easy to put in CD player, hit play and then the skip button.

Album was not available in Spotify, found in on the horribly named YouTube Music. Kind of which I didn't try so hard to find it, it's disjoint, difficult, and disturbing. Maybe it was a bit much at 8:30 on a Tuesday morning. I am familiar enough with Captain Beefheart to know what I was getting in to, but man, this was more than I wanted. Couldn't wait for it to end.

No private session used on Spotify, not for Willie. I like this album for what is, its got the feel of saloon in Deadwood in the 1880s and then heading back to the outskirts of the town to sleep under the stars. I am not sure when I will listen to this album, but I will try and find a place for it. Perhaps if I lived in trailer with a neon Budweiser sign in it.

Not using a private Spotify session. I knew of The Fall for more of their less punk more pop music(though using the words pop and The Fall seems wrong) never really listened to the punk version. This is music to listen to in a crowded bar, drinking low quality mass produced beer, while getting pushed shoved, and getting covered in other people's sweat and drinks. I tend to avoid that scene these days.

No private session needed. Not my favorite Cohen album, but I like it as a cap of a career. It's a tribute to his song writing skills that he can write songs that match his fading vocal skills.

no private session used for Spotify. Catchy electronic tunes, not really my thing, but I can see why folks are into it. I don't know if I would ever find myself in a place where I think I need to put it on, though.

I did not use a private spotify session for this one. I need more hair gel, la looks perhaps, a bright blue track suit, sun glasses and a massive boom box. It's called 90 but firmly planted in 80's. I don't like EDM, I don't much care for 80's music, so this wasn't for me.

No private session needed for Steely Dan. I am surprised how polarizing a band Steely Dan is, I know some people who hate them. I think it's because their music is a little more complicated than bands like The Eagles and Steve Miller Band. Anyway, at one point in college I went through a Steely Dan phase, Deacon Blues will always have a special place in my heart for some reason.

No private session used in Spotify. I was never a huge Stones fan, maybe because I lived through the 80s where the stuff they were putting out and forcing us to listen was that great. Yes, they have some classic songs, but there is a lot of blues inspired rock, which tends to meander and features Jagger's voice, which I have never been a fan of.

No private session used for Spotify. I really don't need to listen to this album as I have listened to it lots and I know I love it. I listened to it anyway, happily, then the rest of the day was going through some other excellent Bowie albums.

No private session on Spotify used and another album I really don't need to listen to know that I love it. I happily listened to this album anyway. So many classic hits, none of which I am tired of hearing.

No private session needed for Spotify. Loved the couple of hits they had in the 90s from this album, I had listened to this album in the past, but except from the hits nothing stood out to me which is probably why I never went back to it, but it's still a great album.

No private Spotify session needed. The second track made me uncomfortable, despite the guitar work. Once I got past the second track, I enjoyed the album and new several of the songs, but was the enthused by it.

Did not use a private spotify session. Nu Metal has always been hit or miss with me. This one is a miss.

No private session needed for Stevie. Great album a couple of songs I love, when my son's birth was approaching I created a play list for the occasions and the hazy weeks afterward. Of course "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" was on it.

No private spotify session used. I like this album, knew a couple of songs from it but had never listened to the album in it's entirety. Has a definite mood to it, though I don' t know when I would want this mood. Smoking some pot in a basement with wood paneling? Road trip when I don't mind if the driver nods off for a bit? Not sure.

No private session used for Spotify. Some classic songs here, but don't see this going into the regular rotation.

No private session used for Spotify. Captain Beefheart is out there musically however this album was a little more straightforward which was a surprise, at least that is how the album started and then it got more into the Captain Beefheart I was used to and can take, but only in small doses.

No private session used for Spotify. I listened to this album three times, hoping something would catch, nothing did. I liked the album, but there wasn't anything here to really grab me, nothing wrong with it, though.

No private spotify session used. I like funk and groove, so disco shouldn't be a stretch. I did like this album, put images of me in my head wearing a really tight shirt, unbuttoned to expose my gold chain medallion and pathetic excuse for chest hair. Then I think it's fortunate I was to young to go to disco clubs in the late 70's/early 80's.

No private session used for Spotify. I knew the song "Pink Moon", skilled acoustic guitar with mumbling lyrics over the top. Not a bad vibe. This is the entire album, though. I might have heard more songs from this album, but I thought they were all Pink Moon. It's alright, but it won't be in rotation.

No private session used for Spotify. I have a mixed view on Jane's Addiction, some good songs but a unsure about Farrell maybe because he is the inexplicably cool and overly confident kid on the playground who made fun of me for wearing the same shirt twice in one week. I like every aspect of this album except Perry's voice, it sometimes works but mostly not.

No private session used for Spotify. Another one of my favorite music jokes is something along the lines of Q: "What effects pedal does the My Bloody Valentine's guitarist use?" A: "All of them". It's funny because it's close to the truth, it's an interesting sound but at times it makes me feel a bit disoriented. I do like noise rock, but not shoegaze, this isn't for me.

No private session for Spotify on this one. I like this album, it rocks. Though nothing really stood out to me make into rotation.

Not using a private spotify session, though I thought about it. It's hard to get past Dylan's nasally drone and my dislike of that much harmonica, but the melody sound nice and I've been told that he is a great lyricist. There is definitely appeal here, but I don't get why people rave.

Not private session used for Spotify. I am have managed to avoid the drama around the lead singer of this band, so I can hang back and join the passionate rock.

No private session used for Spotify, no point as I have listened to this album a fair bit. I like it's mellow, twangy and folksy enough to be different, but not too twangy and folksy to be too much. This goes into music for when I am waking up category.

I did not know what I was getting in to, but I went without a private session in Spotify. I had heard the mellow and groovy "Something Wicked This Way Comes" before, but can't say I knew it was Barry Adamson. I like this album, but don't know when I would put it on and listen to it. It's got some chill stuff, that you know, maybe put on when you are trying to set a romantic mood and then "It's Business as Usual" comes on and then instead of sex it turns into some murder-suicide pact.

No idea what I was getting into here, but went without a private Spotify session. This album is incredibly pleasant, not my normal jam, not that is a bad thing. Mellow, sweet and thoughtful. Seems like a great album for a Sunday morning.

No private session used for Spotify. "Free Bird" is a meme at this point it's under the category of songs I never need to hear again, but "Tuesday's Gone" and "Simple Man" are far from that category. Next time you at a concert and you think you are hilarious by shouting out "Free Bird" try either of those two other underplayed classics. Back to the review, southern rock personified. Classic. Genre Defining.

Did not use a private session for Spotify. When I was in junior high and high school I knew people into metal, but I shied away from of it because of the satanic imagery in a lot of the album covers. Yes, I was raised religious. Now as a jaded adult I realize the bands aren't into Satan, it's just their schtick. I look back and wonder did I miss much avoiding metal when I was younger, really no need to wonder I can visit the music now. A couple of classics on here, but really didn't miss much.

Another Taylor Swift..hell yeah, using a private spotify session on this one. Not for me, it's somehow too sweet and bland at the same time. This is the second Swift album I have had to listen to for this undertaking. This first one had me desperately desiring the end of the album. This one made me eager for the album but I didn't hate the experience,so there was an improvement.

No private session used either time I listened to this album. I knew the title track of course, but that was it. I was surprised how easy listening the rest of the tracks were, but given it was for a movie, I get how it they could work in the background.

I didn't use a private Spotify session. More of a Joy Division fan, mainly because New Order is to synth. Too many keyboards. Morris's steady drum work sounds programmed. I can hear how it influenced a fair number of 80's bands, mostly bands a didn't care for.

No private session used for Spotify as I have listened to this album many times before and some where in the basement is the compact disc manifestation of this album. I love Pink Floyd, this is my fourth favorite Floyd album and it is still worthy of five stars, it could be higher but it is a little too inconsistent in mood, though it works perfectly in the movie. Gilmour is a guitar hero of mine

No private session used for Spotify. It's rock, straight forward rock with a southern flare. I don't know if I will ever have this one in constant rotation, but it's good.

Another one where I am not sure what I am getting in to, but I am not using a private spotify session. A bold move, I know. Country, country fried country. I respect it for what it is, not for me.

Did not use a private Spotify. Another country album. It's Dolly, appreciate her voice, but it's not for me.

I did not use a private session for Spotify. If you have read my previous reviews, and I can't imagine you have, you will know that I feel like an eavesdropper listening to music with a prolific use of the N word. This album definitely falls under that category, even if it didn't it wouldn't make it into my rotation, but I can appreciate what it is.

No private session required for Spotify. I used to listen to this CD a lot and really the last REM album I got into. It's a great album, more mellow than their previous work, but good. Three mellow songs from the album got constant radio play, so maybe that is why I strayed away from REM. Early REM epitomized college rock for me, then they had super mainstream success with this one. How dare they?

No private session used for Spotify. I like this album a lot, it's around here somewhere. Oddly, "Seven Nation Army" hasn't fallen into the category of songs I never need to hear again, maybe because it's only old enough to drink, I will see how it feel once it starts getting AARP mail. Anyway, the albums rocks.

No idea what I am getting in to here, but no private spotify session. I hate to judge a book by it's cover, but damn, it tracks here. I had heard Constantinople before and it never made me think "hey, I have to hear more of this!" My first impressions on not needing to hear more of this and the cover indicating what type of music I would be hearing was spot on.

No private spotify session used on this one, I have listened to it many times before. I like it, White's guitar work is a lot of fun and this album rocks in general.

No private spotify session needed, I have this on CD somewhere. This album is a lot of fun. Eddie's guitar work is transcendental and got a lot of kids playing the electric guitar, only to find out setting their goals to play Eruption was far out of reach. Eddie, rest in peace, you golden god.

No private session used for Spotify. I was in college when Oliver Stone's doors movie came out and went through a Doors resurgence where everyone had the sound track. The more sophisticated, or maybe they just had more money to spend on CD's, had this one. I don't mean to disrespect the other members of the Doors, but the band wouldn't have had the success it had with the Cult of Morisson, it's basic bluesy rock otherwise.

I did use a private session on spotify for this one. This project has been having me listen to a lot of Rolling Stones and I think Spotify thinks I am a fan now, I am not. Sympathy for the Devil is a classic, followed by whiney bluesy rock. I don't like Jager's voice, I don't get it.

No private session needed for Spotify, I love this album. When I was younger I thought of The Beach Boys as a feel good happy rock, but then I got into Pet Sounds, dark melodious material here "Good Only Knows", "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times". I don't know if it's the greatest rock album ever made, but it's up there.

No private session used for Spotify. I have heard songs by Animal Collective, but never sat down for an album. This one is a bit too hyper or manic for me, I listened to it twice, but probably never again.

No private session used for Spotify, familiar with the name, but not the work. Country, honky tonk twangy country. The type of country I don't like.

No private session for Spotify. Of course I know "The Who" but never really listened to their stuff that isn't on the radio or intro for CSI shows. So I listened to a lot of bad attempt at blues, won't be listening again.

I did not use a private spotify session. Curtis brought the funk and falsetto, didn't really get into as much as I thought I would.

No private session used for Spotify. I got in to kraut rock some through CAN, there was one track on this album I liked a lot, some not so much.

I did not use a private Spotify session for this one. I have owned several VH albums in my lifetime, but not this one, probably because it was played everywhere. Van Halen jumps in to the synth saturated 80s, but still rocks. This album is a lot of fun.

I did not use a private session for Spotify. Too many uses of the N word to make me fell comfortable. I think this is a good representation of this type of music, I don't like this type of music.

No private session for spotify. I really like Cash's "American" anthology, have a playlist based on my favorites from those four albums. Definitely like his version of rock songs, could do with the gospel, but still appreciate the wrinkly timber of Cash's voice.

Did not use a private spotify session. Knowing the two classics from this album and with a title like "Surrealistic Pillow", I expected something more psychedelic and trippy, but it was more folksy and bluesy. The folksy stuff isn't for me, but there is enough good in this album to overlook it.

I didn't use a private session for Spotify, though Spotify didn't let me listen to the whole album. I think I got a feel for it, not my thing.

I did not use a private spotify session, I have this album on CD somewhere and used to play it a lot. Love the classics on this album and it helped me get into progressive rock.

Did not use a private Spotify session for this one. I have listened to some songs of the Beta Band, but never sat down for a full album. It was good, worthy of another listen.

Did not use a private spotify session for this. I got into Blur when I lived in London and couldn't figure out why we Americans embraced Oasis, but "Song 2" was Blur's only Top 40 song in the states.

Did not use a private Spotify session for this album, definitely listened to it before. Ric Ocasek said something along the lines of "we did our greatest hits first", good line and some truth to it. Lots of classics in this album.

No private Spotify session needed, listened to this album tons and its lying around here somewhere. Radiohead has a lot of great albums, sometimes I am convinced this is their best. This is when they were just rocking, not getting experimental and I love it.

Did not use a private spotify session for this. One of those bands I know a few songs from but never listened to an album, so now I am. I liked what I heard, but it won't make it to my regular rotation.

No private session used for spotify. I bought this album when it first came out. Listened to in regularly to start off a Sunday morning.

No private session used for Spotify. It's hip, it's hop. I appreciated the lack of skits that seem to be a thing with the these types of records, though the use of the N word, as always, makes me feel like a voyeur, so much I can't listen to this on the regular.

No private session used for Spotify. I love this album, I was amazed by what it blends musically. I got into Beck previous albums and became a fan of the Dust brothers. I love every track on this album.

No private session used for Spotify. I have this CD somewhere, used to listen to this album a lot while on road trips or getting pumped up at the gym. Note to self, listen to this album more. This album just rocks.

No private session used for Spotify. I love Aimee's voice, sweet and lethargic. This is a solid album with a couple of standout songs.

No idea what I was getting into here, but did not use a private Spotify session. I did take a clue for the album's title and listened to in the morning, maybe AM part meant after midnight when all the cool kids are just starting to head out.

I did not use a private Spotify session for this double album. Not what I expected given the nod to Country and Western music, not bad, but it's not making any to any rotation.

I did not use a private Spotify session for this one. It's about what I expected, rock/blues standards show casing high energy raucous piano playing. Not making it into my regular rotation, but respect it for what it is.

I did not use a private spotify session for this one. This album was about what I expected, I listened to it yesterday and I can't remember that much about it.

Did not use a private session for Spotify, also was familiar enough with this album that I knew to listen to it in the morning as that seemed like the time it would click with me. I think it was still the correct time, but wasn't a lot of clicking. It's fine, I did like the absurdly long song titles.

I did not use a private session for Spotify. Again, with the skits. What is about these types of records that think we want to hear the same skits over and over again? I like listening to songs I like repeatedly, but listening to the same skit over and over, despite how much I like it, isn't something I like. Rant aside, I did like this album. I listened to it twice, it can't make it on steady rotation because of the heavy use of the N word that makes me feel like a voyeur.

No private session used for Spotify. I have certainly listened to and loved some of this bands songs, but have never sat through a whole album...not including best of. I have always enjoyed the guitar work on Monitor, one of many solid hits on this album.

No private session used for Spotify. I find Coldplay albums very polarizing I either like them a lot or find them to poppy and bland. Considering I like their older albums, maybe they have always just had poppy songs, I like older pop music not newer pop music. Coldplay has changed, I have not. Anyway, this is one of the albums I like. Several of these songs got a lot of airplay, so that might me when I was younger I did enjoy popular music more. This is pop and mellow, so not quite as fun, but I still like it.

I did not use a private spotify session for this one. I never got into this, I tried. Not for me. I did appreciate the wide range of voices.

I did not use a private Spotify session for this one. I have listened to The Fall from time to time, but I don't think I have sat through a full album. After sitting through a full album, I don't think I will do that again. I like The Fall, but maybe just in smaller doses.

No private session used for Spotify. I remember when this album came out, there was a vast sea of angry white men rock, angry white women rock was a welcome change and this album was embraced with constant airplay. Now, I will admit I have spent too many hours discussing the song "Ironic" and how none of the stories in the song were ironic at all, but it's still a nice song.

I did not use a private session for Spotify. There are a couple of treasures on this album, but dear lord, so much anger, misogyny and homophobia. I have nothing against angry music, but this was over my limit. Get help. Why must hip hop albums have skits?

No private session used for Spotify. Wasn't sure what to expect. I did like the orchestration and wide use of instruments, though it did get repetitive after a few songs.

I did not use a private Spotify session. I am familiar with some of Ian's song, which I liked, but knew they were more novelty songs and was worried that the album would be a collection of novelty songs, some filler, and none of which where good enough to make it on my radar before. I was correct.

I did not a private session on Spotify. I knew of Ash from the delightful song "Burn, Baby Burn". There were a couple of songs on this album that had the same rocking intensity which I throughly enjoyed; however I did find some of the tracks really lacking and didn't play well with singer's strengths. Some of these songs might make it on a playlist, but I won't listen to the album again, twice was enough.

I did not use a private spotify session for this one. Lots of classics on this album, love her voice. Don't know when I would put this on, though. Maybe if traveled back in time to the sixties segregated south, running a whites only diner and I liked soul music.

I did not use a private session for Spotify. I never got into Elvis, don't plan on it. I have heard these songs before, classics, but I won't be intentionally listening to them again.

I did not use a private session for Spotify. I have listened to a fair bit of Sonic Youth and have listened to some of their albums, but I can't recall if I have listened to this one or not.

Hell yeah I am using a private spotify session for this one. Was never a Mariah fan, she has great voice, but not into the music that she is singing over. Looks good on the album cover.

Didn't know what I was getting into here, but I did not use a private Spotify session. This type of music seems to be not the type you actively listen to, but it's the background at bar or during some action scene in a movie. It's too repetitive to be interesting and not that much different than a lot of this type of music, some of it seems like I have heard it before, it the background, but I think there a lots of DJs doing this. I could have died without hearing this album.

Did not use a private session for Spotify. I have this CD somewhere, probably a lot of people do. Lots of hits on this album. Generally, I am not a fan of dance/EDM but I like this album, so Moby did something awesome. I was happy to hear they didn't change "South Side" to the one with Gwen Stefani pointlessly whining over it with her nasal drone.

I did not use a private session for Spotify. I have listened to Joy Division songs, but never sat through an album. I liked this album, but I didn't find anything in this that would keep me coming back.
