Stan Getz
5/5
I don't know much about jazz music but I do know that this is the exact kind that I like.
2 likes
Pink Floyd
5/5
One of my all time favorite albums.
It's an album that explores complex themes like mental illness, mortality, and human existence. The seamless transitions between tracks, enhanced by the band's use of synthesizers, sound effects, and philosophical lyrics, create a rich, atmospheric soundscape. Songs like "Time," "Money," and "Us and Them" showcase the band's lyrical depth and musical experimentation. It's both introspective and universally relatable, with Roger Waters' poignant lyrics and David Gilmour's soaring guitar work standing out. A timeless classic, the album remains a pinnacle of progressive rock and a cultural landmark.

The National
2/5
Maybe you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy this.
I just found out very depressing and not especially interesting.
1 likes
Yes
3/5
The album kinda sucks you in, starting with an amazing track in Roundabout.
The rest doesn't quite hit the same and sometimes feels a little experimental.
I still really enjoyed it, but they kind show their entire hand in the first track.

Steely Dan
5/5
Really enjoyed this album, it was so groovy and smooth.
The melodic and harmonic complexity is incredible.
Standouts for me are Peg and I Got The News.
Hugh Masekela
3/5
It's like background music you can't help but pay attention to. It makes good background while working from home.
I found that the more I listened to it, the more I enjoyed it.
Every track is so different, it's hard to pick a favorite.
Franz Ferdinand
3/5
Kind of your standard indie rock album. I enjoyed listening to most of it.
High points for me were Take Me Out, Matinée and This Fire.
The Smiths
3/5
Decent album.
Really liked Morrissey's vocals and some of the bass work was great.
Soundgarden
5/5
Front to back just a great 90s rock album, I loved it.
The Day I Tried To Live is my favorite by far.
RIP Chris Cornell.
Stevie Wonder
2/5
You obviously can't deny the talent. The fact that this is his 18th album is pretty unbelievable.
Having said that, while I enjoyed some of it, most of it just wasn't for me.
Favorite tracks, Sir Duke and Isn't She Lovely.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
Albums like this make me regret any other 5s I've given.
Led Zeppelin is just on another level.
All killer, no filler.
LTJ Bukem
5/5
Pure 90s dnb. Plug this straight into my veins.
It somehow feels nostalgic even though it's brand new to me.
A little unexpected to have a compilation album in this, but in the end I don't care because it's right up my alley.
Cocteau Twins
3/5
Love the vibes of this album, it creates such a dreamlike atmosphere.
It feels very 80s.
I have no idea what they're saying most of the time, but it sounds cool regardless.
Aerosmith
2/5
It's one of those albums where I feel like I should like it, but I didn't.
This album just didn't do it for me.
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
Great album, it was very different from the only other album of theirs that I know, Rumours.
Standout tracks for me were Think About Me and Angel.
Nick Drake
3/5
It's never heard of Nick Drake before this album came up.
I enjoyed it, very chill and minimal.
Just a man and his guitar.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
Pretty good album.
I don't know if it's one I will return to, but I enjoyed listening to most of it.
I like it more than Songs In The Key Of Life.
In a weird way, I wish I liked Stevie Wonder's music more than I do.
Aphex Twin
4/5
Really great background music while doing something else like working or choking.
The Associates
3/5
Very 80s, synthy and whiny.
I think I like it... Time will tell if I like it enough to listen to it again in the future (I probably won't).
Lou Reed
3/5
I like it, but I can't tell if this album is really cool, or incredibly boring.
I think it's his voice.
Joan Armatrading
2/5
Great voice, sort of a mellow folky style of music, but in the end just not really for me.
I would give it a 2.5 if I could.
The Mothers Of Invention
3/5
This album is so unhinged and I'm fully on board.
It's so weird, experimental and full of nonsense.
Count Basie & His Orchestra
5/5
I've never listened to big band music before, but I will be going forward.
This was a really fun album.
3/5
Pretty fun, it feels ahead of it's time.
This is what all live albums should aim for, I love the energy.
Television
3/5
Kind of meh on my first playthrough.
After a second listen, I really started to enjoy it.
It really doesn't sound like a 70s album, more late 90s/early 00s.
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
A classic 90s alt rock album. Favorites were Today, Quiet and Disarm.
The Cult
3/5
Pretty good British pub rock album. Doesn't take itself too seriously.
David Bowie
2/5
This was pretty meh, I can't say I'm a fan of this Bowie era.
Otis Redding
5/5
So much soul and emotion, really liked this one.
Easy 5
Arcade Fire
1/5
Not my thing at all, it all sounds the same. Boring and generic sounding.
OutKast
5/5
Stone cold classic hip-hop album. Feels way ahead of it's time.
Steve Winwood
2/5
Strong opening track, the rest is kinda blah.
Bad Company
4/5
Really good album from beginning to end. Just a great 70s rock album.
George Jones
2/5
It's ok. I'm not much of a country music lover, but if I had to listen to it, this is the kind I'd go for.
I'd give it 2.5 if I could.
B.B. King
4/5
Never considered myself much of a blues fan, bit this was a great album. Really liked the crowd sounds/interaction.
Ramones
4/5
It kind of all sounds the same, but I don't really care. Great album.
Air
3/5
I enjoyed this, though I've never seen the movie.
Gives chill and mysterious vibes.
Lana Del Rey
1/5
Every song sounds the same. Very boring and bland.
Marianne Faithfull
3/5
Didn't necessarily dislike it, but not something I see myself coming back to.
R.E.M.
4/5
Really enjoyed this album. Obvious standouts are Stand and Orange Crush.
Taylor Swift
3/5
Pretty good album. I think I get the whole Taylor Swift thing.
I probably wouldn't revisit it, it's just not really for me.
Elliott Smith
4/5
Really good album, I'll definitely be checking out more of his stuff.
Fred Neil
4/5
Could've listened to another 8 minutes of Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga
Stereo MC's
3/5
I enjoyed this album. Feels VERY 90s.
The title track is easily the best on the album.
R.E.M.
4/5
I've always enjoyed REM when I've heard them but until recently hadn't listened to any of their albums back to front.
So far I've heard this one and Green.
I prefer this one without question.
Definitely gonna save this one to revisit later.
Radiohead
5/5
I can definitely see why this wouldn't be for everyone. It can have a very depressing feeling to it. This is probably why I listened to it most as a teenager and young adult.
I still really enjoy it, but don't find myself going back to it much.
Depeche Mode
3/5
I usually really enjoy 80s synthy, brooding stuff, but this one just didn't quite hit the mark. Not terrible though.
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
3/5
I wouldn't say this is a bad album necessarily, but it's nothing special, not entirely sure why it's on this list.
Taylor Swift
1/5
I can see why people like Taylor Swift but it's just not for me at all.
The Go-Go's
4/5
Really enjoyed this one. Fun and upbeat. The 2 singles are stellar.
Supertramp
5/5
Really enjoyed this one. It's so 70s.
I enjoyed every second of it.
The Black Keys
2/5
Meh, it's ok
It kinda feels like blues for people who don't like blues music; pop blues.
Orange Juice
4/5
Enjoyed this one more than expected.
Love the synths and sax solos.
It feels weirdly familiar and comfortable.
Big Star
3/5
I enjoyed the first half more than the second. Overall pretty enjoyable.
The Cure
5/5
I'm shamelessly copying this review from somebody else because they just put it so well. The album sustains an atmosphere that is gloomy, yet thoroughly gorgeous. It somehow manages to feel both claustrophobic and seductive.
Really remarkable album.
OutKast
4/5
I definitely enjoyed Speakerboxxx more. I kinda wish they'd been released separately.
Guided By Voices
3/5
I don't really know if I liked this or not. The songs were so short I couldn't really get into them, but overall I liked their sound.
TV On The Radio
1/5
I went in with no expectations and was still let down.
This is bad, just straight up boring.
Fats Domino
5/5
A little odd to have a compilation album on this list, but I didn't really care in the end. This was such a joy to listen to.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
I've always found that my favorite Zeppelin album is the one I'm currently listening to/listened to most recently.
5/5
I had heard of The Kinks, but never listened to them.
Really enjoyed this, it has social commentary but feels very uplifting.
Stand out track for me was Victoria.
John Lee Hooker
3/5
Good album, but I can't help but feel like it would have been better with fewer features.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
5/5
This album rocks. Lived the instrumentals and the general vibe of the album.
The National
2/5
Maybe you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy this.
I just found out very depressing and not especially interesting.
Pretenders
4/5
Really enjoyed this one, verging on a 5, but it didn't really blow me away.
A solid 80s rock album.
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
Not for me. It's like rock for people who don't like rock.
I only gave it a 2 because Born to Run is a great song.
Madness
3/5
It was alright. I liked their sound. Our House is the obvious highlight.
M.I.A.
2/5
It's kind of all over the place, very chaotic.
The production is pretty unique.
I can't see myself listening to this ever again, so I guess I didn't really care for it.
Peter Tosh
4/5
I love it, such a vibe.
Maybe not an everyday listen, but under the right circumstances...
Favorite track is Ketchy Shuby.
Common
5/5
A masterful blend of soulful production and introspective lyricism, showcasing the rapper at his best. Kanye absolutely nailed the production; rich, soulful samples that perfectly compliment Common's verses.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Not my favorite Zeppelin album but still great. The first half is definitely stronger.
Sam Cooke
5/5
Just an unbelievable live album. I love all of his ad-libing.
If only this had been filmed.
The Mothers Of Invention
4/5
This was weird.
It's both hard and not hard to believe this was made in the 60s.
I ended up feeling confused after listening to it, maybe that's the point?
I have no idea, but I dig it...I think
The Police
2/5
I've never been a huge Police fan. I like their hits but the rest are kinda meh.
Metallica
3/5
I'm not really a Metallica fan, but I enjoyed this album.
The singles are the standout tracks, I also enjoyed Sad but True.
Rage Against The Machine
5/5
This album fucking rocks.
Jean-Michel Jarre
4/5
I'd been meaning to listen to this for a while and completely forgot about it.
I'm in to it.
David Bowie
5/5
Loved every second of it.
Marvin Gaye
2/5
Easy listing, but just not for me.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Beautiful album. So soulful, I could really feel everything.
Judas Priest
4/5
Great rock album.
Starting feeling a little repetitive/samey after a while but I still enjoyed it.
The Incredible String Band
2/5
This is such a strange album. It sounds like complete nonsense most of the time.
I think I'd need to take A LOT of drugs to enjoy this.
I didn't completely hate it but I can't imagine a scenario which I would listen to it again.
3/5
I'd never heard of X until now.
Nothing spectacular but pretty enjoyable.
The Youngbloods
3/5
Another group I'd never heard of before.
Nothing super standout, but overall very enjoyable, great background music.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
The singles are excellent, the rest are kinda meh.
Crosby, Stills & Nash
5/5
Absolute loved every second of this. I want to live in this album.
Helplessly Hoping is such a beautiful song.
Throwing Muses
3/5
This was good. Not necessarily good enough for me to seek out more of their work though.
Jungle Brothers
5/5
Really dug this album. It transported me to 90s New York.
The Offspring
3/5
I'm kinda conflicted on this one, I enjoyed it and really loved the energy but I just don't see myself listening to it again.
I think I enjoyed the nostalgia it gave me more than the actual music.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
5/5
Really loved this album all the way through.
It somehow makes me feel nostalgic even though I wasn't born for nearly 20 years after this came out.
It just feels familiar and comfortable.
Buena Vista Social Club
3/5
I felt like I was chilling on a secluded beach in Cuba.
I don't know how often I'll come back to the album but I've saved it.
Beth Orton
3/5
Beautiful voice.
At points it feels quite emotionally charged and at others, feels pretty peaceful and contemplative.
The album was a little long for my liking.
New Order
3/5
Questionable vocals and simple lyrics, often mundane subject matter, great production.
Faust
3/5
So, krautrock is kinda weird, but I kinda liked it.
My favorite track was Jennifer.
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
One of those rare perfect albums. I wish there was a rating above 5.
Yes
3/5
The album kinda sucks you in, starting with an amazing track in Roundabout.
The rest doesn't quite hit the same and sometimes feels a little experimental.
I still really enjoyed it, but they kind show their entire hand in the first track.
4/5
The only Blur song I had heard prior to this was Song 2.
I went into this album not expecting a whole lot and was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed it.
Overall, a solid 90s Brit-pop-rock album.
My favorite track was Miss America.
Arcade Fire
1/5
Boring and generic, no real substance.
Bill Callahan
1/5
For some inexplicable reason I really wanted to like this but I just didn't.
Very boring, must be an acquired taste.
Cyndi Lauper
5/5
Loved it, 80s pop perfection.
Pink Floyd
5/5
One of my all time favorite albums.
It's an album that explores complex themes like mental illness, mortality, and human existence. The seamless transitions between tracks, enhanced by the band's use of synthesizers, sound effects, and philosophical lyrics, create a rich, atmospheric soundscape. Songs like "Time," "Money," and "Us and Them" showcase the band's lyrical depth and musical experimentation. It's both introspective and universally relatable, with Roger Waters' poignant lyrics and David Gilmour's soaring guitar work standing out. A timeless classic, the album remains a pinnacle of progressive rock and a cultural landmark.
Suede
3/5
This was ok. I didn't love it nor did I hate it.
Pretty easy listening for the most part.
a-ha
2/5
I thought the album was....ok.
It was all downhill after the first track.
The Isley Brothers
5/5
Really loved this.
Hearing the originals of so many songs I recognize was really cool.
Electric Light Orchestra
4/5
Kinda feels like a cross between Pink Floyd and Queen.
I really enjoyed it.
My only criticism is that it's a little too long.
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
3/5
I liked it, but I really can't see myself listening to it outside of this.
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
One of the greatest "modern" rap albums.
It's a powerful narrative album that blends personal stories with social commentary.
Scritti Politti
2/5
Every song sounds like the last. Not bad per se, but doesn't really belong on this list.
Ms. Dynamite
2/5
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's ok I guess.
AC/DC
2/5
It's ok, kinda samey all the way through
Harry Nilsson
4/5
I really enjoyed this album.
I'd never heard of Harry Nilsson, but I definitely recognized a few of the songs.
The Smiths
3/5
I didn't love it, but I also didn't hate it as much as some people.
I get that he sounds the same and kinda whiney throughout, but I still kinda dug it.
Korn
2/5
Some pretty questionable lyrics, but it hits the nostalgia chord so 2 stars it is.
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
1/5
Wow, this is so bad. Couldn't get through the whole thing.
Ray Charles
5/5
Really enjoyed this.
From the big band sounds to Ray Charles' incredible voice. So good
Meat Loaf
3/5
Very over the top and cheesy, in a good way.
I got a little tired of it by the end, but overall I enjoyed it.
White Denim
5/5
Wow, this was really good.
Vibes for days.
I can't wait to dig in to their other albums.
Prince
5/5
Wow, this was flippin awesome.
I knew some of Prince's hits but never listened to a full album.
I'm left wondering what I've been doing with my life.
The Prodigy
5/5
I still remember hearing Breathe for the first time as a naive 10yr old thanks to Big Shiny Tunes 2. It blew my mind.
I wish I could say I've been a die hard Prodigy fan ever since but I never really followed up after being consumed by that track. Mostly due to difficulty accessing and buying music at that age.
This album goes so hard and will definitely be added to the rotation.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Pretty mellow album, but I just don't ever find myself in the mood to listen to reggae music.
Enjoyable overall but not an everyday listen for me.
Wu-Tang Clan
5/5
I grew up on the album, it's a top 5 best hip-hop albums of all time.
Wu-Tang is forever.
Sheryl Crow
2/5
Not really my jam, but I enjoyed it more than I expected to.
The Doors
5/5
Really love the blend of blues and psychedelic rock. This is right up my alley.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
1/5
For some reason I had it in my head that I liked Elvis Costello.
This album was a reality check.
I did not like this album.
You know how some people have a really punchable face? That's how I feel about his voice.
Derek & The Dominos
2/5
If I separate the man from the music, the album is ok. A little self-indulgent at times.
Layla is the obvious standout.
Eric Clapton is kind of a piece of shit.
ABBA
5/5
A true pop masterpiece.
Just what the doctor ordered for a Monday morning.
The Teardrop Explodes
3/5
I liked it, but I'm a sucker for 80s new wave.
Stephen Stills
2/5
I didn't necessary dislike it, but it was a little boring.
Stan Getz
5/5
I don't know much about jazz music but I do know that this is the exact kind that I like.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
4/5
It's messy, exciting and a little spooky.
She has such a great voice.
Female lead rock bands rule, I just wish there were more on this list.
Johnny Cash
5/5
Wow, what an album.
Easily one of the best live albums I've ever heard.
I love all the crowd noise and Johnny's banter with them.
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
I think up until now I've only really heard their newer stuff, so this didn't sound how I expected it to.
Having said that I still enjoyed it.
John Lennon
2/5
Meh, this was ok.
A couple good songs but the rest just had me wishing I was listening to The Beatles.
Jack White
3/5
It was an ok album, I didn't find it to be anything really special.
To my untrained ear, it just sounded like The White Stripes.
David Bowie
4/5
Really liked this.
Not my favorite album of his, but still really good.
Favorite track was Cracked Actor, loved the opening chord.
Alice In Chains
4/5
Yes! More if this please.
Loved every second of it, 90s grunge fucking rocks.
Pixies
3/5
This album is strange, but in a good way.
Where is my mind is probably the most "normal" song, the rest are pretty unhinged at times.
Bob Dylan
3/5
Too much harmonica.
Maybe it would be better on speakers instead of earbuds.
Bob Dylan
3/5
2 Dylan albums is a bit much, as it turns out there is such a thing as too much Dylan.
Having said that, I enjoyed this album more than Blonde On Blonde, but not by much.
Bob Dylan is better in small doses, one song at a time; listening to an entire album is tiring.
De La Soul
5/5
Such a fun album. You can tell they had fun making this one.
I love the comparison of this album to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Best hip-hop album in this list so far.
Nina Simone
4/5
Wild Is the Wind by Nina Simone is raw, soulful, and haunting. Her voice draws you in, making each song feel deeply personal and unforgettable.
Madonna
2/5
It's different from her usual stuff, with a vibe that's kind of reflective.
I prefer her earlier work.
Not necessarily a factor in my review or rating, but Ray of Light made me nostalgic for Windows XP.
Iron Maiden
3/5
A heavy metal classic with iconic riffs, intense vocals, and a few memorable tracks.
Not really the kind of music I see myself listening to on any regular basis.
George Harrison
4/5
At first, All Things Must Pass feels a bit intimidating with a length of 2hrs, but once I settled in, it was a ride I didn't want to end. The mellow, introspective vibe flows through each track, revealing layers of George Harrison’s creativity and depth.
It's a beautifully immersive experience, and by the end, I was left wanting even more of that soulful, meditative sound.
The Mamas & The Papas
2/5
The album has its moments, but it doesn’t quite live up to its iconic reputation. While "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin’" are undeniably catchy, much of the album feels repetitive and lacks the same spark. It’s fine as a piece of 60s nostalgia, but it doesn’t hold up as a must-listen today.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Wow, I don't even know what to say.
I didn't expect to like this as much as I did.
Great album.
Leonard Cohen
3/5
It was pretty good.
Feels more like poetry with a musical backing... Which I guess can be said about a lot of music ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I found it strangely hypnotic at times.
The The
2/5
It was ok....Not great but not terrible.
Le Tigre
3/5
This is weird wild stuff, I kinda dig it.
It somehow feels before and ahead of its time.
Linkin Park
4/5
This album goes so hard.
I remember blasting this in my room as an angsty teen.
RIP Chester.
Nick Drake
4/5
This list has taught me that I like Nick Drake. Super chill, mellow easy listening.
Miles Davis
4/5
I really enjoyed this.
I know next to nothing about jazz but this was great.
Initially I was intimidated with in being 38 minutes with only 2 tracks, but it flew by and I enjoyed every second if it.
Gene Clark
2/5
Dollar store Bob Dylan.
Not necessarily bad, just kinda boring.
Adele
3/5
Her voice is undeniably amazing.
It's also really impressive to come out with an album like this at such a young age.
With that said, this kind of music just isn't for me.
Jeff Buckley
3/5
This album was ok, didn't really blow me away, but I guess I kind of enjoyed it.
Air
3/5
It created a pretty chill/dreamy atmosphere but felt a little repetitive at times.
Decent background music but not an everyday listen for me.
Don McLean
3/5
It was alright.
America Pie is kinda played out but I appreciate the lightning in a bottle he captured with it.
The rest of the album is decent, he has a wonderful voice and the composition is pretty good throughout.
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
3/5
Unlike any of the albums I've had so far on this list.
I didn't totally vibe with it but I think it might have just been my mood.
I'll be adding it to my list to check out again in the future.
Suede
3/5
Really enjoyed this, it felt pretty Bowie-esque at times.
Coldplay
3/5
Coldplay feels like the British Nickelback.
People hate on them for no real reason other than it's the fun/funny thing to do.
I enjoyed most of this album, the singles are undeniably catchy.
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
A funky, uplifting album with great songs like "Everyday People." It’s a classic.
Sleater-Kinney
2/5
I like the vibe, but the vocals are just too shriek-y.
Terence Trent D'Arby
2/5
This album was alright I guess.
He obviously has a great voice but the style of music just isn't for me.
Justice
5/5
Sooooo good.
I recognized a bunch of the songs but could not have time you who they were by.
Easy 5.
Radiohead
4/5
Not my favorite Radiohead album, but still really good.
Favorite track is by far Pyramid Song.
David Bowie
3/5
I've come to realize that David Bowie is really hit and miss for me.
This album is a definite hit.
My favorite track was Girl Loves Me.
Eric Clapton
1/5
I just can't see past how bad of a person he is. While his music might sound alright, he somehow hates the people he ripped it off from.
He's also anti-vax which is the nail in the coffin for me.
Byeeeee
Big Brother & The Holding Company
4/5
Wow, this was a gem.
Never heard of them but Janis Joplin sounds great.
Beastie Boys
5/5
Loved this.
Sample heavy, funky, witty lyrics. What's not to love?
Rush
4/5
I've always enjoyed their hits but never listened to a full album.
I enjoyed this quite a bit; I can wait to start going through their back catalogue.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
Tom Petty is one of those people who's hits I was familiar with but had never listened to an album front to back.
This one was pretty good, nothing spectacular.
The last track is the standout.
Simple Minds
3/5
I'm a sucker for 80s synthy pop.
Nothing groundbreaking but I enjoyed it.
Various Artists
3/5
Fuck Phil Spector.
Unfortunately this album is actually pretty good.
Fleet Foxes
4/5
I really enjoyed this, definitely has a Mumford and Sons/issue movie feel to it.
A feel good easy listening album.
I feel like it would make a decent road trip album.
Steely Dan
5/5
Love it, this list has shown me I'm a Steely Dan fan.
So groovy.
The Doors
5/5
Such a legendary album, loved the whole thing.
L'America was weird but I dig it.
Mott The Hoople
2/5
It's impossible not to hear the Bowie influence.
Decent glam rock album with (in my opinion) poor pacing.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
2/5
This is a weird album... Why in the world is it on this list?
Definitely gives of Rocky Horror vibes.
Dizzee Rascal
3/5
This album grew on me.
Weird at first but started vibe with it after a few tracks.
I had only every heard some of his newer stuff so it's cool to see where he started.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
I wish I had something more profound or insightful to say about the lyrics or subject matter.
In the end I just really enjoy listening to it; really good vibes for a Friday afternoon.
Neil Young
4/5
Thoroughly enjoyed this album.
The Zutons
3/5
Never heard of these guys, but their name sounded fun.
I really enjoyed this album, has a pretty unique sound.
Definitely one I'll be saving for the future.
Favorite songs were Remember Me and Not A Lot To Do.
The Afghan Whigs
1/5
I didn't even make it through the whole album, this was pretty bad.
Lead vocals were terrible.
Deep Purple
2/5
Omg, we get it, your really good at playing your instruments.
I'm sure it's be great live but it just drags on in an album.
The music was fine but the endless solos were kind of annoying.
Black Sabbath
5/5
First time listening to Black Sabbath, no idea why I'd never listen to them.
Loved it, easy 5.
The Doors
5/5
Couldn't believe it when I learned this is they're debut album.
Great album front to back.
The Temptations
4/5
Wow, I really enjoyed this.
So funky and full of soul.
2Pac
4/5
Let's be honest, he was not a good person, for that reason, I don't agree with the way he is idolized by so many.
I'm admittedly biased as I grew up on 90s hiphop, so there's a major nostalgia factor in play.
I love this album and appreciate the social commentary in his lyrics, notably in So Many Years, Lord Knows and Dear Mama.
Old School is such a great track as well.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
I mean...C'mon, it's Zeppelin.
The Verve
2/5
First song aside, this album is pretty meh.
Just feels kinda boring/generic.
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
Went into this thinking I was a Jimi Hendrix fan only to realize I'm really just a fan of his hits.
None of his other tracks are necessarily bad, they're just kinda meh.
Motörhead
4/5
Wow this fucking rocks. I wish I could have seen it live.
The recording quality leaves something to be desired.
Great live album.
Nirvana
5/5
Not my favorite album of theirs but still an easy 5.
T. Rex
2/5
It sounded alright, but not something I see myself going back to.
The Cure
2/5
Very spooky and moody.
It was ok, but I think I'd have to be in a specific mood to listen to it again.
Frank Ocean
1/5
I guess I can see why certain people would like this...but I am not one of those people.
It just sounds very generic and boring.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Stellar album from back to front
Can
3/5
I was vibing with it for a while, then it got really weird.
Very psychedelic.
Another one of those where if I were in a certain mind set I'm sure I'd love it.
The Sugarcubes
3/5
This was weird, but it's a type of weird that I really vibe with.
Having said that I don't know how often I'll listen to it again.
Adele
2/5
I appreciate that she has a great voice, I just don't really care for her music.
Al Green
4/5
I really enjoyed this album.
When it came up I wasn't really in the mood but forced myself to listen anyway.
No regrets.
The Notorious B.I.G.
5/5
Easy 5.
Yes, Puffy's contributions are annoying and unnecessary but if you look past those, this is easily one if the greatest rap albums of all time.
The Bees
2/5
This was ok, pretty mellow but nothing special.
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
5/5
I had never heard of them before so I didn't know what to expect.
I ended up really enjoying a lot about this album; the messages, the jazzy production and Franti's half-spoken vocal style.
It really had me thinking about how a lot of the problems they rap about are unfortunately still very pertinent and relevant today.
The Dead Kennedys cover was also pretty unexpected.
Foo Fighters
4/5
I've never been a huge fan of Foo Fighters outside of their hits that I saw the music videos for on Much Music.
Considering the recent Dave Grohl events I don't see myself becoming a fan or supporting them.
This album is good though, especially when you consider Grohl did it almost completely on his own...kinda wild.
Norah Jones
2/5
It's ok.
Mostly agreeable, easy listening.
Just kinda plain.
I'll admit, it grew on me the longer I listened to it....then I got bored again.
Pixies
3/5
I've never listened to a Pixies album before, but I enjoyed this.
I kinda liked how short each song was.
Deee-Lite
4/5
So groovy, I enjoyed this more than expected.
Build the Bridge and What is Love? Were two of my favorites.
Parts of Build the Bridge reminded me of Streets of Rage 2 level music.
Belle & Sebastian
3/5
Decent indie album.
I enjoyed it but I don't think I'll listen to it again.
Dr. Dre
3/5
A good album that did not age very well.
A Tribe Called Quest
5/5
This is what I think is when somebody says hip-hop.
Just an incredible album that oozes with coolness
Really love the jazzy vibes.
Solomon Burke
4/5
Great album, really enjoyable listen.
Gorillaz
5/5
This is such a great album from front to back.
Easily in my top 10 albums of all time.
Radiohead
4/5
Enjoyed this one.
Definitely not my favorite album of theirs, but still really good.
Kanye West
4/5
In his current mental health system, he's a terrible human being, I really hope he can get the help he needs.
This album is objectively amazing and it's sad he's fallen so hard since.
Amy Winehouse
2/5
Great voice, but this album just didn't do it for me.
Got bored half way though and stopped listening.
Einstürzende Neubauten
1/5
No thank you.
Nanci Griffith
4/5
I'm surprised this album is rated so poorly on here.
I usually dislike country but this was excellent.
Her voice is so soothing.
The Who
5/5
Excellent album.
I don't really know what else to say.
Muddy Waters
3/5
It's was good, not great...maybe I just wasn't in the mood for blues.
David Bowie
5/5
Yes! This is exactly what I want when listening to Bowie.
This album is perfect.
Slipknot
4/5
This is just the energy I needed today, loved it.
Depeche Mode
4/5
Love it.
I can't get enough of the dark, kind of depressing 80s/early 90s synth pop.
The vocals are haunting at times.
Kraftwerk
2/5
While I didn't really jive with it, it's incredible this was made in the 70s.
Eminem
4/5
Definitely hasn't aged well, but when this first came out I was too young to really pay attention to what the lyrics were actually saying. I just sang the words, thinking it was cool that there was a good while rapper.
I like it for the nostalgia though.
Pink Floyd
4/5
It's a classic for a reason.
It felt a little long in my opinion, but I also don't know where I'd trim anything off.
Iron Maiden
3/5
It was ok... Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it.
I didn't find it partially memorable.
The Byrds
4/5
Really enjoyed this album. It's never heard of them before now.
The perfect blend of psychedelic rock, folk and country.
Brian Wilson
3/5
This one grew on me.
I really didn't care for it at first but the more I listened, the more I enjoyed it.
Parts of it kinda feel like if the Beach Boys were slightly psychedelic.
Ray Charles
4/5
This is a great album. I was sad when it ended.
Michael Jackson
4/5
The entire album just oozes with grooviness.
I found myself dancing at my desk while listening to it on multiple occasions.
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
1/5
This was bad, I made it half way and gave up.
Billy Joel
5/5
This album rules.
I have no notes.
Stephen Stills
2/5
Meh. Not bad, just boring.
Fela Kuti
5/5
Wow, this was so friggin cool, and what a wild story. Loved this.
A Tribe Called Quest
5/5
Love this album so much. It's just so cool and smooth.
It makes me feel cooler just for having listened to it.
Brian Eno
4/5
Really beautiful, kind of haunting at times but perfect background noise while at my desk.
Keith Jarrett
4/5
Wow, the story behind this is kind of wild.
The music is incredible as well.
This isn't the type of music I typically seek out so there's a good chance I would have never heard it, but this is exactly the kind of stuff I love finding in this list.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
4/5
Great album all the way through.
Beastie Boys
3/5
I'm a fan of Beastie Boys but an entire album at once is a lot.
The production is excellent and their lyrics are pretty fun and clever.
Overall enjoyable but, better in small doses.
Sufjan Stevens
3/5
I had no expectations on this one. I'd never heard of Sujan before.
I enjoyed it.
It's probably not something I'll listen to again, but I love learning about new music so I appreciated it coming up in this list.
Silver Jews
1/5
Wow, this was bad.
Is this even singing?
He sounded like he was bored out of his mind while reading the lyrics from a sheet of paper.
5/5
Bowie at his sparkling best. Enjoyed the entire thing.
Afrika Bambaataa
1/5
I recognized the music from being sampled so often, but as an album it just didn't work for me.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
This wasn't my favorite but overall it was a pleasant listen.
Heads Will Roll was the stand out for me.
Queen
4/5
First time ever listening to this album.
I'm not too familiar with them other than their hits, but I really enjoyed this.
Maxwell
2/5
Meh. I didn't mind it at first, but 3 tracks in and I'm over it.
This definitely has a place and time, but here and now is not it.
Cocteau Twins
4/5
This was great. I don't know if it's an everyday listen for me but I really enjoyed it.
The Boo Radleys
2/5
I didn't hate it, but it didn't really do much for me.
The War On Drugs
3/5
I enjoyed this more than expected. It ended up putting me on a really contemplative mood.
I don't know how often I'll revisit it, but I'm glad I listened to it.
Deep Purple
3/5
I liked it, but started to feel kinda same-y part way through.
The Young Gods
3/5
This was... interesting.
I kind of enjoyed it but it was a little unhinged.
I'm glad I listened to it, but it won't be making it into my library.
Miles Davis
3/5
There were parts I really enjoyed and others that I found very grating.
Van Morrison
3/5
Not my favorite but really enjoyed parts of it.
Michael Kiwanuka
5/5
Wow..I don't really know what to say.
This is definitely one of those albums that I would have never discovered if not for this list.
What a gem.
Sarah Vaughan
4/5
Great album, it felt like a warm blanket.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Not my favorite CCR album, but still great.
Tom Tom Club
4/5
This was weird, silly and fun. I need more of this in my life.
Leonard Cohen
1/5
I really didn't care for this. I got bored halfway through the first song.
Cat Stevens
4/5
Nice, easy, mellow listen. Really enjoyed it.
Black Sabbath
4/5
This was soooo good. I regrettably never listened to them growing up, but I'm glad I was reminded of them as an adult.
Sonic Youth
1/5
Didn't really care for this.
It wasn't especially bad, just kinda meh.
Beach House
2/5
Meh, it's ok I guess.
Eagles
4/5
The singles from this album are great, the rest are kinda meh.
Herbie Hancock
5/5
So funky and groovy. Loved it.
Van Halen
4/5
For me Van Halen is another one of those groups where I recognize a lot of their hits but wouldn't be able to tell you who the band was.
I wouldn't change the radio station if they came on, but it's not something I listen to intentionally.
Muddy Waters
4/5
I don't ever really listen to blues but this may change that.
This album was excellent.
AC/DC
3/5
It's good, not really my everyday kind of music but I don't mind hearing it on the radio.
Everything But The Girl
1/5
Dreadfully boring.
John Coltrane
4/5
I really enjoyed it...I don't think it's something I'll listen to everyday, but definitely saving it.
The drumming is some of the best I can remember hearing.
I've learned that I'm very particular with the jazz I enjoy listening to on any kind of regular basis.
Fatboy Slim
5/5
Love me some Fatboy Slim.
Repetitive, yes, but also super fun. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Easy 5.
David Bowie
5/5
Loved this album. I really enjoyed the ambient tracks as well.
Serge Gainsbourg
1/5
No thank you.
Not only is it about a pedophile, but it sounds like he has the mic in his mouth, giving it a feeling of ASMR.
I hate ASMR.
Nirvana
5/5
One of the greatest live albums ever.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
It's alright. I've never really been a huge Rolling Stones fan.
I like their hits but the rest don't really do much for me.
Paul McCartney and Wings
4/5
Really great album.
Embarrassingly, before this album came up, I have to admit that I thought some of these were Beatles songs.
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
It's ok... Not great but not terrible.
Roxy Music
1/5
Cool album cover, meh album
Sonic Youth
2/5
I really didn't care for this... Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it I dunno.
It's another one of the unusual inclusions on this list.
I guess I kinda liked Shadow of a Doubt.
Jimmy Smith
5/5
Just beautiful.
I loved every second of it.
Perfect for a relaxing afternoon.
Elvis Presley
2/5
I feel like I need to be in a specific mood for Elvis. Unfortunately today, I was not.
KISS
3/5
This album was decent. A few good tracks and some others I didn't care for.
Kacey Musgraves
1/5
Bleh, no thanks. On to the next.
Tom Waits
2/5
3 songs, that was my limit on this album.
A little too artsy for me.
I guess I can see why people might like it, but it's not really my thing.
Patti Smith
1/5
I don't really know how this is considered punk.
Really boring, I find her voice quite annoying.
No thanks.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Nothing spectacular but I enjoyed this more than I expected to.
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Wow, I did not expect to enjoy this as much I did.
Really great album.
Solange
3/5
This one really surprised me.
On paper this is not something I would expect to enjoy.
I didn't love it, but it was a solid 3/5.
Morrissey
1/5
Nah, pass.
I've had enough Morrissey on this list thanks.
Paul Simon
3/5
Such a great voice, enjoyed this one.
4/5
Excellent album.
So many good songs.
I remember when the album first came, out my cousin bought it and then I stole it from him and it didn't leave my discman for months. He ended up having to buy another copy because he thought he'd lost it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Elvis Presley
2/5
Not bad but not really my thing, I can only listen to Elvis in small doses.
Burning Spear
4/5
Reggae is really hit or miss for me, and I really need to be in the mood for it...Usually.
I wasn't super excited when this album came up, but I like to give all albums a chance.
I'm so glad I did, it really hit the spot. The music, vibe and his voice are perfect, loved it.
The Beach Boys
3/5
Not at all what I was expecting when I saw that it was the Beach boys. But I was pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed it.
Blondie
3/5
This one surprised me. Her voice is amazing.
Sex Pistols
4/5
I'd never heard this album, but I knew of it.
Why didn't I listen to this before?!
This album is sooo good.
Violent Femmes
3/5
Not my favorite, I enjoyed some of it.
It definitely seems ahead of it's time.
The Pogues
2/5
Eh, it's ok, most of the songs sound the same to me.
That's not to say they're necessarily bad, but 19 tracks of it is a bit much all at once.
The obvious highlight is Fairytale of New York.
UB40
1/5
This is not for me.
Frank Sinatra
4/5
All of the songs kind of blend together, but I didn't mind.
I could listen to Sinatra sing the phone book.
U2
2/5
Potentially the most beige album I've ever heard.
Hole
3/5
This was my first time listening to Hole. I ended up enjoying it more than expected.
LCD Soundsystem
1/5
This album sounds like it's trying super hard to sound a specific way.
I find it kind of irritating for some reason.
At times it sounds like a shitty version of Talking Heads.
Pavement
4/5
Never heard of Pavement, but I ended up really enjoying it.
Range Life was definitely the highlight for me.
The Flaming Lips
3/5
I really didn't expect to like this as much as I did.
It does start to sound kinda same-y and blend together after a while though.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
1/5
I found this quite boring.
Bob Dylan
3/5
I liked it, but a full album of Dylan is a lot all at once.
Alice Cooper
4/5
Loved this album.
Not at all what I expected.
Randy Newman
2/5
Don't hate it, don't love it either. Kind meh.
His voice is unique but I don't really need a full album of it.
Elvis Costello
1/5
Every song sounds exactly the same.
Not a fan.
Miles Davis
5/5
Loved it so much. So cool, so smooth, I really can't get enough of it.
If nothing else this list had shown me how much I enjoy jazz music.
Booker T. & The MG's
3/5
Pretty good. I appreciate a good instrumental only album.
Beatles
5/5
I had never heard of this album before but I recognized a few songs on it.
Loved it.
Underworld
4/5
I didn't expect to like this based on the reviews, but something about it really clicked for me.
I was a little intimidated by the length of the first 2 tracks.
It made me feel like I was in a 90s underground warehouse rave.
The Who
3/5
Overall I enjoyed it, kinda strange in parts.
Sade
2/5
I don't dislike this album, but apart from Smooth Operator I just didn't really feel it.
The Divine Comedy
1/5
Did somebody lose a bet? Why is this album on this list?
I fail to see what I would be missing out on if I didn't listen to this before I died.
Billy Bragg
2/5
Didn't love it, but it wasn't the worst thing I've ever heard.
Doves
3/5
I went into it expecting very little and was surprised that I actually didn't mind it.
Decent background music.
Pearl Jam
3/5
I expected to enjoy this much more than I did.
Maybe it warrants a re-listen...or maybe I'm just not a fan of their brand of grunge ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Massive Attack
2/5
I'll give it points for uniqueness, but I just didn't really vibe with most of it.
I really enjoyed Unfinished Sympathy.
Massive Attack
4/5
Enjoyed this much more than Blue Lines.
Black Sabbath
5/5
Just an unbelievable album all the way through.
RIP Ozzy.
2/5
Dylan is great in small amounts. 1.5 hours is just too much all at once.
Cream
4/5
I was familiar with Sunshine of your live, but nothing else really.
Loved the album, nice and short too.
Talking Heads
4/5
Turns out I've been sleeping on Talking Heads. I like everything I hear of theirs.
Really enjoyed this.
Jurassic 5
5/5
It's been way too long since I've listened to Jurassic 5.
Really loved them growing up and completely forgot about them.
I appreciate to positivity in some of the tracks, something we could all use more of.
It somehow feels old school and fresh. Timeless.
Stevie Wonder
2/5
I normally don't mind Stevie, but today I just wasn't feeling it.
Elbow
3/5
Enjoyed this.
Felt very cathartic.
Pulp
2/5
Meh, it's ok. Common People is the only memorable song.
Duran Duran
5/5
Love this album so much. Really reminds me of my childhood.
fIREHOSE
2/5
It was ok.
It grew on me as the album went on.

Klaxons
3/5
Not terrible, I guess I kind of enjoyed it. Probably won't listen again.
Radiohead
3/5
Alright album, not as good as some of their others.
The Clash
3/5
I really enjoyed this.
Admittedly I'm not a big punk music fan, but this was great.
Prince
4/5
This album was great, I don't really know what else to say. I loved it.
I really wish I had been born earlier so I could have see Prince perform live.
The Stooges
4/5
Great album.
Nice and short, lots of fuzzy guitar, weird slightly creepy droning.
Loved it.
CHIC
3/5
While it isn't something I'll necessarily listen to everyday, it's undeniably awesome.
Thin Lizzy
2/5
So a live album that isn't actually completely live? What's the point?
If I want live, I want actual live, not mishmash of live with overdub.
The Rolling Stones
2/5
Paint it, Black is good, but the rest are kinda meh.
Under my thumb has...questionable lyrics.
Miles Davis
5/5
Really enjoyed this one, didn't want it to end.
PJ Harvey
2/5
The album cover mattress me feel really uncomfortable for some reason.
It was alright.

3/5
I didn't love it, but I didn't dislike it enough to turn it off.
2.5, rounded up to 3 because of Solsbury Hill.
Roxy Music
4/5
I really liked this.
Radiohead
4/5
One of is my least listened to Radiohead albums.
I really like it though, High and Dry is my favorite track.
The Smiths
3/5
It's alright, there's something I really enjoy about his voice.
Favourite track is There Is a Light That Never Goes Out.
Alanis Morissette
5/5
Just an unbelievable album.
You oughta know, hand in my pocket, you learn, head over feet, ironic. 🤯
Gram Parsons
2/5
I really just don't care for country music.
However, as far as country music goes, this wasn't the worst.
Mercury Rev
2/5
It's...ok.
Definitely not the worst thing I've heard on this list so far.
Easy listening background music.
Santana
4/5
I didn't expect to like this as much as I did.
Really good.

Long but good.

Really enjoyed it.
The Zombies
5/5
Wow, I enjoyed this so much.
Time is the season eat the only song I recognized but I loved the entire album.

1/5
Yay another Nick Cave album!
Said nobody, ever.
SZA
1/5
Meh, I don't think I'm the target demo for this, it's really not my thing.
Kanye West
5/5
If I look past the artist and just judge the art, this album is amazing.

4/5
Wow, I really enjoyed this.
This is what I like about this list, there is no way I would have ever heard these guys otherwise.
The Temptations
4/5
Loved every minute of it.
Just what I needed to ease into Monday.
Lucinda Williams
1/5
I really don't care for country music.
This album did not change my mind.

5/5
Excellent.
I'm not knowledgeable to comment on the polyrhythms or odd time signatures.
I just know that I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Meat Puppets
2/5
I didn't mind it.
I got some mild Nirvana vibes from it.
Not something I'll listen to again.

2/5
Meh, it's ok, not really my thing.
Tom Waits
1/5
Wow, I really don't get it.
Bass player is the only thing I enjoyed.
1/5
Yeah...I don't get it.
Made it through 2 tracks.
DJ Shadow
5/5
I was already somewhat familiar with this album, but I'd never listened to it all the way through.
What a masterpiece.
Ella Fitzgerald
4/5
"3 hours is just too long for an album" was my initial thought.
A little over 3 hrs later and I guess I was wrong.
Her voice is just amazing, I could listen to her sing the phonebook.
Beck
4/5
Really enjoyed this.
I haven't listened to Beck very much but I enjoy most of what I hear from them.
Dr. Octagon
2/5
Meh, some of it is alright.
Giant Sand
1/5
Yikes, this was pretty bad.
John Martyn
1/5
On a streak of albums I really don't care for.

On to the next.
The Who
3/5
Pretty good for a live album
Jethro Tull
3/5
I liked it.

3/5
It didn't age too well, but I can appreciate the importance of the album.
Chicago
3/5
I liked most of it.
I recognized some of the tracks
The White Stripes
4/5
I recognized more of these tracks than I thought I would.
As overplayed as it is/was Seven Nation Army is such a banger.
U2
3/5
It's ok. Got kinda boring eventually.
The Velvet Underground

What the heck even is this?
Tori Amos
1/5

Didn't care for it at first, but really got into it after a couple of tracks.

2/5
It was ok, not super remarkable.
Laibach
2/5

3/5
Pretty good, easy listening, but it all sounded kinda the same after a while.

4/5
Excellent, enjoyed the whole thing.
Janelle Monáe
4/5
Never heard of them, but this album was very fun and pretty unique.

One of the few albums that got a 2nd listen immediately after finishing the first.

This album is just so flippin good.

I really don't get it.
Lorde
1/5
I don't think it's bad necessarily, I just don't really like it.
Frank Zappa
4/5
I know absolutely nothing about Frank Zappa, but I enjoyed this.
It's pretty unhinged, in a good way.
Hanoi Rocks
2/5
Painfully mediocre and generic, no idea how it got on this list.
Fugees
4/5
Definitely one of those albums that I was sure I'd listened to before, but hadn't.
Really enjoyed this.
Christina Aguilera
1/5
Nah
Neneh Cherry
2/5
I liked this more than I expected.
It's nothing special, but it's fun.

I barely liked his music, then I found out he's a disgusting piece of shit.

I hadn't heard if them by name but I recognized the first track.
Love

Meh.
I didn't hate it, didn't really like it that much either.

Tried to like this one but ended up finding it very blah.
His voice was putting me to sleep.
The Stooges
4/5
Great album, really enjoyed this one.
Donovan
3/5
I'd never heard of this guy before but I embedded up enjoying this.
Nothing special, but overall good.
Dolly Parton
3/5
Never heard anything by Dolly Parton and I don't generally like country music.
This was really enjoyable.
Probably not something I'll listen to again but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed when the album ended.
Frank Black
2/5
Not terrible, but also not that good.
The Beach Boys
3/5
I liked it, though I find most Beach Boys stuff sounds kinda the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jane Weaver
3/5
I liked this one. It was kinda trancey and meditative.
Dion
1/5
Meh, Only You Know is the only song I enjoyed.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
5/5
Really really liked this, never heard anything like it.
The Cramps
2/5
I actually kinda liked this.
Not enough to listen again but, I made it through the whole thing without thinking "is this album almost over?".
Spiritualized
1/5
Not bad...Just unremarkable and boring.
Metallica
3/5
Good, but a little long.
ZZ Top
3/5
Van Morrison
2/5
I don't mind it, bit it's waayyy too long. Who has the time or patience for a live double album?
Blood, Sweat & Tears
3/5
Good, but long
Ananda Shankar
1/5
This is not good.
3/5
I enjoyed most of it

3/5
This was a weird album but not in a totally terrible way. Definitely not something I'll be returning to, but I didn't hate it.
Steve Earle
1/5
Hard pass.
The Band
2/5
It's alright. It's verging on something I would enjoy but misses the mark.
Joan Baez
2/5
I guess it's alright. It kind of put me to sleep.
Joy Division
2/5
For some reason I wanted to enjoy this more than I did. It just wasn't for me.
Maybe it was just my mood on the day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Astor Piazzolla
1/5
I just couldn't make it through the whole thing. While they're clearly very talented. It's just not for me.
Donald Fagen
2/5
It's alright. Nothing groundbreaking, standard yacht rock.
I didn't hate it.
Shack
1/5
Nah, not for me.
Maybe I'm just grumpy because my last 6 albums have been duds, but this was not good.
Stevie Wonder
1/5
Superstition is the only good track.
Peter Gabriel
3/5
I'm not totally sure if I liked it or not. I listened to the whole thing, so I guess that's something.
It's kind of weird and feels experimental at times.
2/5
Her voice and music are great.
The lyrics though...
The Charlatans
2/5
A generic British rock band/Oasis clone.
It didn't sound terrible, just kind of whatever.
Scissor Sisters
2/5
It's alright in parts, and not so much in others.
Take your mama is the obvious stand out for me.
Tim Buckley
3/5
I was surprised to see how low this one was rated.
I enjoyed it, nice easy listening.
Kraftwerk
4/5
I wasn't so sure at first, especially with a 22 minute song to start with.
Once I settled into the album, I really vibed with it.
