1001 Albums Summary

Wasn't for me. Felt like elevator or hotel music.

Enjoyable! Jazzy and soothing.

Quite enjoyed this one! Favorite songs were Tell Her Tonight & The Dark of the Matinee. Enjoy the sound of the singers voice and overall sound of the band.

I enjoy the sound of The Smiths, but in smaller doses. I most enjoyed Nowhere Fast and That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore from this album.

Enjoyed this one front to back. Favorites were the first 3 songs - Let Me Drown, My Wave, Fell on Black Days.

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would!

What a great collection of 90s drum n bass.

Not my thing. Really didn't enjoy the sound of the singer's voice. I won't go as far as calling it "grating" but it nearly was. Almost couldn't finish the album.

Starts off strong, dips a bit in the middle and then ends nicely.

Great album. Tusk was my favorite song.

A nice chill indie rock album. Most songs sound like they could have been on the Garden State soundtrack.

Didn't like this one as much as Songs In The Key Of Life, really only enjoyed the singles - Living for the City & Higher Ground

I enjoyed parts of this album way more than others. Some songs were not for me but my favorites were Hedphelym, Delphium & Actium.

I normally love 80's synth stuff but this one didn't hit for me.

Really enjoyed this whole album!

Really enjoyed the sound of her voice but the album wasn't really memorable for me.

Honestly loved this. It was so weird and abstract.

I enjoy big band music but it all starts to sound the same to me after a while, especially since I listen at work so I'm not usually paying full attention to it.

Loved this one front to back!

I loved this album. Wish I could give it a 4.5* rating. Loved the singers voice and the vibe of the whole thing.

Great 90's rock vibes. Would give it 3.5 if I could but I'll round up today. :)

I liked this one but not as much as other, similar albums of this time/genre.

Don't think I've ever listened to a Bowie album before, but really enjoyed it! Wish I could give 3.5 stars. My favorite song was Boss of Me.

I enjoyed this one! Don't listen to a lot of blues usually.

Cool sound and appreciate what they did for the Punk scene but started to feel "same-y" by the end.

Not my thing.

Reaaally enjoyed this one. Would prob rate it 4.5 but apparently I lean towards being generous with stars on here. :)

I liked this one. Didn't love it, didn't hate it, fell right in the middle for me.

Only really got the synth-pop vibe on a couple of songs, was hoping for more. Pretty catchy album but don't think I'm converted to a "swiftie" just yet.

Can't believe I've never listened to Elliott Smith before. This album was incredible and is making me look into his entire catalogue.

So I had to give this one a second listen. I don't usually listen to this type of music so it took me a bit to get into it. Near the end of the album the bluesy song about a bittersweet relationship with cocaine caught my attention and then the album ends with the absolute banger of a track "Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga". Then I looked him up and found out he never really achieved commercial success as a performer and instead moved to Florida to work with the Dolphin Project, helping with the preservation of dolphins. This led me to go back and really listen to the lyrics of the first track "The Dolphins" and really connected with it. TLDR; After a second listen and really paying attention to the lyrics, my rating went up quite a bit.

I absolutely loved this one. Made me nostalgic for a time I didn't really get to experience because I was so young.

Great album, really enjoyed this one.

Absolutely loved this one. I'm all about the synthy 80's vibes this album has.

Don't have the energy for a thoughtful review today.

I can't get enough of the 80's vibe lately. This was so good, front to back.

Really enjoyed this one!

Liked this one a lot! The Cure have such a cool vibe.

2 for 1 and both great albums, what more could you want?

So the first day I listened to this one I think I was in a bad mood and I really did NOT like it at all. In fact, I was annoyed while listening to it and almost turned it off. But I think I was getting annoyed with everything that day. I gave it another listen the next day and ended up really enjoying how eccentric and quirky it is.

Loved his voice!

Not as good as I or II but still an easy 5 stars.

Really really enjoyed this one! Very close to giving it 5*

I think I could listen to this one over and over again - loved it!

Loved this one! So, so good. Will definitely be listening to it again.

Went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. Quite enjoyed this one but didn't blow me away.

I have learned that I enjoy a single Bruce Springsteen song from time to time but an entire album is just too much for me.

Stuck between 3 and 4 for this one but I've been rounding up so 4 it is! Really fun album.

Already listened to it 4 times. Love it!

Great album if you're in the mood for some reggae vibes.

Great album!

What a vibe, front to back. Feel like I'm taken back in time while listening to it.

This album is musical gibberish in the best way possible. They include and bend different genres, intertwined with what feels like absolute nonsense. Yet sometimes the things that sound like complete nonsense are actually a meaningful reflection on real issues. I'm of course referring to "It Can't Happen Here" - a song that is the embodiment of a child putting their fingers in their ears yelling "I can't hear you" about societal issues. Of course Help, I'm a Rock and The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet are both great, and an absolute trip to listen to. Most notably though is how relevant Trouble Every Day was both then and now. "Well I'm about to get upset From watchin' my TV Been checkin' out the news Until my eyeballs fail to see"

I'm a bit torn on this one. There are some songs I love (King of Pain, Wrapped Around Your Finger, O My God), but others I really don't care for (Synchronicity, Mother). There's also some that I can't decide whether I like or not (Murder by Numbers, Walking in Your Footsteps). Honestly don't think I've ever been so divided on a song-by-song basis for an album before.

Not a huge Metallica fan. A lot of the songs sound the same to me. Favorites were The Unforgiven, Wherever I May Roam, and Nothing Else Matters.

I almost switched off from this while listening to the first song. It wasn't really fitting my vibe at work. But holy I'm glad I didn't because the rest of the album did NOT disappoint. Pt. 2 and 4 especially caught my attention. It's also really cool to hear sounds like this from 1977 when synthesizers were really just first becoming popular. I love the analogue feel of some of the sounds he used.

Absolutely great album! Obviously Golden Years is a banger but I loved Station to Station as well as Stay. Word on a Wing and Wild is the Wind were my least favorites. Guess I'm more into Bowie's more upbeat tracks.

Outstanding album. Another artist I've never really listened to but probably should. So soulful and groovy.

Twas pretty good! I definitely preferred the more fast-paced "thrashy" tracks such as Rapid Fire and Steeler, but I also enjoyed Grinder. I'd probably listen to this album again.

This scratched an itch I didn't know I had. The Water Song spoke to me. A Very Cellular Song feels like a 13min masterpiece.

Quite enjoyed this one! Feels like they have a very unique style.

Really enjoyed this whole album! On Sir Francis Drake is a fun instrumental but I enjoyed many of the songs on this album (Smug, Don't let the Rain Bring you Down, Ride the Wind). I'd happily listen to this album again.

Great album - I could listen to this one again and again.

Biiiiig fan of this one! Love the sound of her voice and the use of both guitar and drums in their songs. Favorite Songs: Rabbits Dying, Call Me, Green

Felt like I was back in school in the 90s. I had visions of commercials, the fashion, popular movies.... just really took me back in time. So good.

Big Offspring fan. Grew up in the era of the 90's punk resurgence where pop-punk began and could listen to it all day. I'll crank Come Out and Play/Self Esteem any time I hear them on the radio but I also love Bad Habit and the ska leaning What Happened to You?

An absolute masterpiece front to back. Can't get enough CCR.

Not for me.

Really enjoyed this album. Was going to list my favorite songs but I loved all of them right up until the last 3. I didn't DISLIKE those 3, but they were my least favorite of the bunch (Sooner Than you Think, Sub-Culture and Face Up).

This scratched an itch I didn't know I had. The chaos at the end of Just a Second felt like it was tickling/massaging my brain.

One of my favorites of all time.

I love how focused on the instrumentals this album is. Really enjoyed the entire thing.

Loved it!

There are songs on this album that I love, and some that I don't really care for. Love: Neighbourhood 1 & 3, Wake Up, Rebellion I also think that hearing a song or two in a mixtape from these guys is great, but listening to a whole album I found the singers voice to get a bit grating by the end.

I didn't hate this but didn't love it. Kinda fit my mood the morning I listened to it as it was just easy listening. Won't listen to it again though.

Loved it. Her voice is so unique. That intro to She Bop is.... *chef's kiss*.

I have listened to this album so many times in my lifetime and I don't think it will ever get old. Will never forget the time I fell asleep in my car after a bush party in the mid 00's to this album playing only to be startled awake by "Time". Every song feels like a masterpiece but I think my favorites are Breathe, Brain Damage and Eclipse. Albums like this almost ruin the scale for me because this is one of those albums that feels like the fivest five stars that ever fived and makes me rethink the scores I've given everything else.

Quite enjoyed this one! Hovering between a 3 and 4 but have been bumping up to 4 when that happens so I guess I'll continue on that trend.

Had high hopes for this but was surprisingly disappointed. Was expecting more synthy up-beat tunes like the hit of the album but it felt full of more 80's ballad-type songs than anything else.

Sooo many good tracks on this album.

While I appreciate the history and influence Buddy Holly had on the music scene and rock & roll, unfortunately this music just really isn't for me.

Haven't ever listened to Kendrick Lamar before and don't know why as this was an excellent album.

Not really for me though I did enjoy the weird vocal effect near the end of Absolute. Honestly feels like an entire album of Michael Jackson uncanny valley.

I couldn't finish this album. There is something about her voice that really hits my ear in the absolute worst way. I don't actually know how to describe it. I'm a fan of the sound of early 2000's hip hop so it's not the style of music that's doing... just something about her voice. Sorry Ms. Dynamite!

I appreciate AC/DC on a mix tape. A single song or two is great mixed in with other classic rock. An entire album is way too much for me and starts sounding very same-y. Girls Got Rhythm is one of my favorite AC/DC songs so I gave this album a bonus star for that.

I've never really listened to Meat Loaf before and had no idea he was so huge (6th best selling [physical] album of all time?!). Anyway, enjoyed this one waaaay more than I thought I would. Would be happy to listen to this one again - many times.

Hadn't ever heard of these guys before now, but quite enjoyed this one! Especially the "Back at the Farm" instrumental song and "Street Joy". The musical arrangements and compositions feel really well thought out, which for the most part is wasted on my simple mind so I won't pretend to know what I'm talking about on that front. But I enjoyed the album!

I won't speak on Prince, the person, because that is a can of worms... but I loved this album front to back and don't even think I can pick a favorite song because they were all excellent.

Could probably listen to this album a million times. Sooo many good tracks and was listening to these guys before I really knew what "electronic" music was. Big fan of electronic "bands" that incorporate both live instruments with the electronic sound. Smack My Bitch Up and Breathe both still get me so pumped. Then Firestarter is on it too? Get outta here! I hadn't listened to most of the rest of the songs but I enjoyed every one of them - especially Funky Shit and Narayan.

Loved it, and landing as my album Friday before a long weekend felt appropriate for the vibe Reggae tends to have.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, but also found some parts of it a bit meh. Overall, it tickled the nostalgia in me and just a few notes into the first song I was instantly back in my kid body in the 90s.

The Doors are a serious contender for my favorite band of all time, so this was an easy 5* for me. Their sound is so incredibly unique, I absolutely love listening to the different instruments they use, and Jim's voice is incredible. The keys, the organ, the guitar... so good! I listened to them a lot when I was younger as well (early 00's) so there is a nostalgia factor there for me as well.

I don't know if it was the EQ/mastering or what, but the sound of his voice felt very grating and felt like it didn't go with the music at all. I couldn't finish this one.

Loved this album and had no idea Layla was the result of Clapton being in in a band I've never heard of. I've made sure to save this one so I can come back to it again.

Loved this, it was fun from start to finish. Think my favorite is Money, Money, Money.

I honestly can't get enough of New Wave style music, so I loved this album front to back. My favorite song was actually Traison (C'est juste une histoire) but I also really enjoyed Went Crazy and When I Dream. I could listen to this kind of stuff all day.

This was a great vibe for my day.

What a great album to get to enjoy on a Friday morning at work. I don't listen to stuff like this very much but I enjoyed every moment of it.

Absolutely loved this one. I'm so glad that the 1001 albums project introduced me to these guys.

Loved it!

Enjoyed this one quite a bit but not as much as I thought I would.

Some good songs, some less good. I can't help thinking about the fact that he was physically abusive towards Cynthia when listening to the song "Jealous Guy". That song feels tainted to me. But there were some cool riffs on this album and obviously the title track can't be overlooked.

Haven't listened to a ton of Jack White or the White Stripes but I really enjoyed this & might look into more from their catalogue!

Finding that I really enjoy Bowie, despite not listening to him a ton before this 1001 albums endeavor!

This was pretty great, but didn't enjoy it quite as much as other grunge/alt metal albums from around this time, so 3* it is!

As background music this album does not work (I usually listen while at work). It's kind of manic & distracting in that setting. Or perhaps I was just annoyed in general yesterday when I listened to it. But when I listened to it with more attention I actually really started to enjoy it. So much more than I thought I would, especially after that first listen yesterday.

Started off very strong with Rainy Day Women (one of my favorite Dylan songs), by the middle of the album I was thinking "boy this is a lot of harmonica" and by the end I was getting a bit tired of his super stylized voice. I guess I'm just not a "listen to an entire album" kind of Dylan fan.

2 Dylan albums in a row?? Considering my review for Blonde On Blonde ended with "I guess I'm just not a 'listen to an entire album' kind of Dylan fan.", it did not bode well for today. But I will say that I liked this one more than Blonde On Blonde. There was significantly less harmonica (I don't hate harmonica, but listening with earbuds made the sound rather piercing at times - probably better enjoyed on some speakers). Anyway, while I enjoyed this album more I still don't think I'm a "listen to an entire album" Dylan fan. His voice is very stylized and starts to get old for me after the 5th.. 6th song. I enjoy him more on a playlist mixed with other artists.

Great friday vibe.

Dang, this album is SO 90's. I really enjoy a lot of the musical arrangements and backing tracks. Most of the songs are not really standouts for me though, except for Ray of Light and I actually found Mer Girl really intriguing as well. Don't know if it's one I'll come back to though.

So many great tracks on this album!

I'd never listened to an entire album by these guys but found myself enjoying it quite a bit!

Another person I've never really listened to before, but this album was a vibe. So soulful and beautiful.

I had to force myself to finish this, he's just not for me.

I loved this one and would definitely listen to it again.

Can't believe I haven't listened to these guys before. I loved every minute of this album. Weird but catchy in all the right ways. Hard to choose because I liked all of them, but I think my favorite song was Phanta. I will definitely be listening to this one again and will try to remember to look up their other albums.

Somehow still know all the words to all the songs. This album is my youth encapsulated.

Melancholic and pretty, but not the type of music I'd find myself listening to frequently. Though I did listen to "One of These Things First" about a million times earlier in life as it was on the Garden State soundtrack.

I am not usually a jazz person, the kind of chaotic improvised nature of it can make me feel pretty uncomfortable actually. But this album was different, and the slow, meandering nature of these two tracks really captured me. I almost felt like I was being led on a walk and told a story. I'm not exactly sure how to put into words how I felt while listening to it, but it kind of felt like a warm hug for my ears. I loved every minute of this album.

Pretty "meh". No songs really stand out for me. I didn't hate it, but found it to be pretty boring. Something you might hear being played in a coffee shop in a small town or something. To be honest, it wasn't vibing with my mood today and I couldn't even finish it.

This was alright. Can't believe there are so many hits on this album, but those were really the only songs that did anything for me. Probably not one I will come back to.

I can't get over how much I enjoyed this album. Had never heard of it or Jeff before now. That rendition of Hallelujah was beautiful and haunting (and I am not a religious person). Probably the best version I've ever heard. Something about the musical arrangements and the sound of his voice just do it for me. I am so sad he doesn't have more of a catalogue to look up but I will definitely be coming back to this.

It was okay. I don't think this type of music is for me. Each song kind of felt like a less good "American Pie". But giving 3* because American Pie is just that good.

I enjoyed this one! Nothing was super catchy or memorable but it was still a good listen.

I always wrote off Coldplay but they're actually pretty good.

Knew a couple songs, but most of this album was totally new to me. So funky, so soulful, so enjoyable. I don't listen to funk on a regular basis but this is an album I'd come back to.

I went from enjoying this to not enjoying this multiple times during the album. I love the vibe of female punk vocals but at times also found it unpleasing to my ears.

He seems to have a great voice but this was just really not for me.

Absolutely love this album. I could have sworn it came out even earlier cause I swear I remember listening to it in highschool before '05. Every song on this album is a banger, I even like The Party which everyone in these reviews seems to dislike. Favorite tracks: Let There Be Light, Phantom, Phantom Pt II. What introduced me to these guys was "Groovy Dancing Girl #2" on youtube. Turns out that was uploaded in 2007 so my memory is indeed foggy on timelines.

Always enjoy a good Radiohead album! Favorite songs were Pyramid Song and I Might Be Wrong.

Found this one very enjoyable! Specifically, really liked the title track - ★

What a great album. Absolutely love the sound of Janis' voice.

Samples and music are great, but unfortunately I can't get past the vocals.

Really enjoyed this one but maybe just not quite enough to give it a 4. 3.5

Such a great album to generate for Friday. What a great way to ease into the weekend.

Very enjoyable! Great easy-listening.

I really enjoyed this one and would happily listen to it again.

Started off feeling like I was enjoying this album but around the 3rd/4th song it really started to grate on me for some reason.

Absolutely loved this. Wish I could have been there.

Loved it! Haven't heard any of these songs before.

The Doors are one of my favorite bands of all time. As other have mentioned, this is their DEBUT album and it reads like a greatest hits album. Amazing. Lots of great memories hanging out with my friends in highschool listening to these guys.

It was alright.

Really, really enjoyed this one. Haven't ever listened to a 2Pac album before. My rating is with the caveat of separating the art from the artist.

This album was so ahead of its time. I love every second of it. Good Times Bad Times... What an opener.

Mostly only enjoyed the two singles from this - absolutely love The Drugs Don't Work - but the rest didn't do much for me. I did also enjoy the "Hidden Track" Come On/Deep Freeze.

I quite enjoyed the eccentric meandering nature of this album. We get a taste of so many different sides of Jimi on this one.

I think this is my favorite Nirvana album. Something about the emotion in Kurt's voice always gets me. Makes me feel all kinds of ways. Easy 5 stars for me.

This was just alright for me.

Really liked this! Haven't listened to The Cure too much but it has a great gothic-rock kind of vibe.

Just not for me. It seemed a bit unusual, almost trying to fuse pop and R&B but it just felt very generic and blah to me.

What a great album. Cecilia is such a banger, I've been a fan of that song for a long, long time. But it also has The Boxer and Only Living Boy in New York? So good!

Starts off pretty normal and enjoyable, then takes a very sharp turn for the weird. Still really enjoyed the experimental bits even if they were not at all what I was expecting. Peking O is the type of song that might make sense had you ingested some mind altering substances. My favorite of the experimentals is the last track - Bring Me Coffee Or Tea.

This was great! I had no idea that Bjork was in a band before she went solo.

Man, Adele can sing. I was vibing with this for the first 3-4 songs but then started to find it very boring and same-y.

This album was a great vibe from start to finish.

What a great album. I've never listened to the whole thing before but it's banger after banger.

Wow this album has such a variety of styles and feelings. I really enjoyed this mellow vibe for a weekday morning. :)

What a great album to pull on a friday. This was fun rocking out to before the weekend!

I actually really enjoyed this. It was super mellow and made great background music (definitely felt like I was sitting in a coffee shop while at work). Honestly I preferred this to the couple of Adele albums I've generated so far.

Can't believe I've never listened to the Pixies before in any real sense! I loved this album. My favorite track was the opener - Debaser.

Wow this was so incredibly 90's and I loved every minute of it.

This is not my favorite Dre album, but it's pretty good.

What a lovely voice, very enjoyable to listen to.

Easy, easy 5 for me. This is one of the albums I can remember getting as a teen and listening to almost non-stop. Even my mom really enjoyed it at the time and this was NOT her normal type of music.

Pretty good album! Not my favorite from Radiohead but it was still a good listen.

It was alright. Honestly better than I wanted it to be given who the artist is but I can't deny that he has talent.

I gave this 2 stars just solely for how unique it is. Some tracks were not TOO bad but unfortunately most of it was not at all what I needed to get through work for the day.

Enjoyed this one! Was a lovely mellow album.

This feels like Bowie at his best.

As others have said, not their best album (my heart will always belong to Iowa) but this is still great stuff. Perfect music for the hectic work day I had - kept my energy up the whole time.

Absolutely loved every track on this album. Can't believe I've never listened to this before now.

Really enjoyed Neon Lights and the title track The Man Machine, but the whole album actually hit the spot today!

I definitely cringe listening to this these days and paying attention to the lyrics, but I still love the rhymes. This one will always be up there for me if not purely for nostalgia's sake.

Easy 5. I don't know why but I absolutely LOVE The Trial. I mean, I think almost every song on this is a masterpiece, but for some reason I was always drawn to The Trial. Also love In The Flesh?, Mother, Goodbye Blue Skies, Hey You, Nobody Home, Comfortably Numb, In The Flesh, and Run Like Hell.

Had a super busy day at work and this album was just what I needed to keep my energy and pace up. Really enjoyed this, despite not having listened to much Maiden before now.

Enjoyed this one! Had the right amount of folk/rock-ness to it to make for an enjoyable listen.

Really enjoyed just about every song on this one!

Great disco vibes on this one, didn't want it to end.

I was surprisingly super into this. I can't really place my finger on why, but I was really vibing with the chaos.

What a great album. Sooo many great tracks in one place.

Lovely voice and a pretty good, mostly mellow album.

Haven't ever heard of this person before and did not want this album to end. Really, really enjoyed this one. Plus the playlist that auto generated after it was done had me hooked for another couple hours. I guess I need to listen to more afrobeat!

Absolutely solid album.

Loved this, though I listen to these albums while I'm at work and this was not the best "working" music for me. Very relaxing and verging on putting me to sleep - great for some situations!

Never would have listened to this if it weren't for this project, and I loved every minute. Absolutely worth reading the wiki article for the background of this recording.

Loved this! Tuesday's Gone is one of my favorite Skynyrd songs, but then you also have Free Bird, Simple Man and Gimme Three Steps? So good.

I am just not in to the Beastie Boys at all. This was grating to listen to and I did not finish it.

Would probably give this 4.5* if I could. I absolutely loved this album. I've never heard of this person but I may have to look up more of their work.

Nope.

This was just what I needed. An absolute masterpiece in every way.

Awesomely funky and SO 80's.

This was smooth but very same-y. An entire album meant to have sex to.

This was pleasant! Though I did find it getting a bit old by the end of the album.

Fairly enjoyable but probably not something I'll listen to again.

Really liked most of this one, though there were a few times it strayed towards a Rod Stewart kind of vibe.

Not my favorite Deep Purple album, but enjoyed it well enough.

What a wild ride that was. Bumped from 2 to 3 stars just for how unique it was.

Not really my thing. Didn't hate it, but as one other reviewer said "That sure was several 20-minute jazz songs."

I enjoyed this, but also realized that Van Morrison is best in small doses. Minus a star for all the anti-vax BS as well.

What an absolutely beautiful voice Sarah had. This is not the type of music I usually seek out but I enjoyed this one.-

Love every song on this album.

It's not terrible, I actually enjoy the melancholy-ness of it. But, unfortunately, it sounds like the real value of this album is in the lyrics and I listen to these while I'm at work and can't fully pay attention to them.

Absolutely loved this! Such a fun album.

Not my favorite Sabbath album but still enjoyable!

I liked the first half of this album more than the second half. Really enjoyed the first few songs but then it fell off for me near the end so it's evened out to 3* for me.

Someone in one of the reviews said this album is like floating in a pool of honey and I totally get what they mean now. Relaxing and such a very specific vibe. I liked it more than I thought I would.

Love Take it Easy, Witchy Woman and Peaceful Easy Feeling but didn't enjoy the rest of the album as much.

I don't think I've ever listened to "Jazz Fusion" but this was great. So funky and flowy.

Such a great blend of rock and synth. Loved this album!

Really cool album, and not something I would have listened to without this list, I don't think.

Never really liked AC/DC, for some reason they sound very same-y to me. Having said that, didn't mind this album. Not my favorite but not bad.

I didn't hate this but wouldn't say I liked it either. But I'm reserving 1* for albums I actively disliked.

Loved this. Repetitive in all the right ways.

Loved this, I know reviews mentioned side 2 being unnecessary, but I actually really enjoyed the weird second half.

Unfortunately I actually kind of like this but I also felt a bit queasy while listening to it. Can't, in good conscience, give this ode to pedophilia more than 1 star.

I love so many of the songs they did for this, and the fact they didn't need to do Teen Spirit and still had an outstanding set. Pennyroyal Tea is hauntingly beautiful, and ending with that Where Did You Sleep Last Night performance.... *chef's kiss*

Haven't ever listened to a Rolling Stone album before, but I really enjoyed this. 3.5*

Loved this! Smooth and chill.

A full album of Elvis is too much Elvis for me. I didn't hate it, but I enjoy his songs in shorter bursts.

I quite enjoyed most of this album. Nothing blew me away but it was an enjoyable listen.

This one was just not for me at all. I gave it 4 songs but didn't end up finishing the album.

I feel slightly uncomfortable listening to Rehab, given what happened, but it's still a super catchy song. Don't know if I've felt so conflicted about a song like that before. She had an incredible voice and I loved You Know I'm No Good.

I really enjoy her voice, but the tracks for me just weren't that memorable or standout.

I actually kind of liked this album, too bad he's such a dick.

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Pretty mellow, enjoyed the sound of his voice.

Great album, don't think I listened to this at all when it first came out. Really enjoyed it though.

Brilliant, loved this. Going to try get my hands on the original Jamaican recordings if I can find them.

Poignant (maybe even purposeful?) that this album came up for me on the day of Brian's passing. I've never really listened to the Beach Boys before, other than hits on the radio. I found this album really enjoyable though, quite a bit of variety and a little weird at times. But I like weird.

Loved it.

As others have mentioned, I had no idea they only had one album. It's never really done anything for me in the past but for some reason today this really hit in all the right ways. Absolutely loved this one.

Good but not great.

Honestly I do like this but because it's such a distinct sound, it all starts to blend together for me. It's just too much of the same sound listening to an entire album.

Pretty mellow and ok, but not outstanding in any way.

He's very talented, but an entire album of this is a bit much for me. 2.5 stars.

Never been a huge fan of U2. This confirmed why.

Loved this. Haven't ever listened to a Hole album before and always kind of hated on Courtney but I enjoyed this entire album. Kinda wish I hadn't written her off when I was younger as I could have been enjoying this music for a long time.

This was pretty good! Not amazing but moderately enjoyable.

Just couldn't get into this one. I think his voice is way too ingrained into my brain as the "disney song guy".

Yeah it was alright.

Very smooth and seemingly less experimental. Probably why I liked it more than some other jazz I've listened to but as one other reviewer said - better appreciated by someone else, I'm sure.

Really, really enjoyed this one.

First time I can remember seeing this album name but I knew quite a few songs from it! I love nowhere man. Great album overall.

Absolutely LOVED this one! 90's warehouse rave vibes for sure. Great music to listen to while working.

Not at all my jam. Didn't dislike it enough to give it a 1 but I also didn't finish it.

I absolutely loved this but I can't put my finger on why.

Liked it for the first couple of songs but then the rest of the album started to feel like the same thing over and over. Got tired of the vocals pretty fast.

Found this one pretty enjoyable. Didn't blow my mind or anything, but was nice to listen to.

Alright, after the first listen I was fairly unimpressed, but I decided to give it a second go and somehow it's hitting differently today. Really enjoying how smooth it is and the driving bass each song has.

I liked this a bit less than Blue Lines which we got yesterday, but I still enjoyed it.

I loved this! Can't believe I didn't look up more Talking Heads after watching Stop Making Sense. I loved that concert video and it seems like I enjoy Talking Heads in general!

First time listening to this album and I loved it!

It wasn't a terrible album, by any means, but it's just not my style of music and did NOT fit the vibe for me today.

Really loved this one, would gladly listen to it again many times.

Loved it! Haven't listened to this album before but I really enjoyed it.

This album feels a bit wacky and I'm here for it.

I liked this one!

Liked this one!

Soooo good.

Wow, what a vibe this was.

I liked this! I'm not too bothered by the overdubs

I liked this one.

Loved this one!

I think this is my favorite of the Radiohead albums we've had so far on this list.

It's pretty good but just wasn't my vibe today. Bumping to 3* to compensate since I might have enjoyed this more another day.

This album is pretty legendary, looking at the track listing. Loved this throwback to my childhood.

Country isn't my jam but I didn't hate this.

I have never listened to Santana in much capacity, so this was fresh for me. I enjoyed it!

Not bad but not great.

Enjoyed the vibe of this one. Felt kind of light and floaty.

I liked this one! Super chill.

Loved this! Wasn't familiar with most of the songs but I found most, if not all of them very enjoyable.

This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I've heard in a very long time. I absolutely loved this, though it kind of feels more like an extended poem set to music. It was incredibly atmospheric and the pain in his voice was so moving.

Not for me, at all. I tried to give it a chance but only made it a song and a half in before I had to give up.

Unfortunately I just can't bring myself to give him any streams/views. I've heard it's a great album, though.

This was so cool. Something I never would have found if it wasn't for this project.

Really enjoyed this!

I tried to give this a chance, I really did. I made it to "Concrete and Barbed Wire" and gave up. Just not for me at all.

Loved this! Not all Jazz hits for me but this one really did for me.

Loved this, loved how chaotic and noisy it feels. I feel like his voice is either something you love or hate and for me it works with the chaos of the rest of the tracks.

Great album! I haven't really listened to Public Enemy before now but the sampling and beats are great.

I wouldn't say I DISLIKED this, but it's not something I would seek out again. I almost gave up after the first song but glad I stuck it out because I actually started to find it interesting about half way through.

This was great! I think I only knew one song (Midnight in a Perfect World) but I really enjoyed the entire album. Great sampling, great mixing. Really showcases how much of an artform good sampling can be.

Beautiful songs and singing, but this album was way too long for me to listen to the entire thing.

It has a vibe, I'm just not sure it's "my" vibe.

First song did not do it for me but the rest was ok.

Enjoyed this one!

Loved this!

Not for me, though I can appreciate how talented she is.

I am not a fan of most country music, but I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. I've never listened to Willie before now.

This felt pretty meh for me. I didn't hate it, but it was honestly pretty forgettable.

I've never listened to this album before! This was excellent,

Honestly started out thinking I wouldn't make it through this whole album but it really started to grow on me after a while.

An excellent album, though I'm not sure how this got chosen over Discovery.

Nope, this is absolutely not for me. It feels very self-indulgent and over the top. Like it belongs as part of a musical or some overly theatrical performance. Another reviewer had a good observation, it seems like mediocre James Bond music. This is one of my least favorite albums on this list so far.

Yep I really liked this one!

Nice chill album for a monday. :)

I loved this one! Had never heard of these guys before but enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to.

Loved this one!

Absolutely loved this, didn't realize how many Peter Frampton songs I know from my parents listening to him in my childhood. When it ended, I immediately started to replay it.

Banger after banger on this one. What a great album.

This was awesome and totally caught me off guard as I've never heard of this person before.

Really enjoyed this one!

So good!

Nahhh.

I thought this was pretty good! Nothing spectacular but I still enjoyed it.

This list has taught me that I quite enjoy Frank Zappa. I liked this one!

This was really cool, I didn't actually know this group existed before this list.

I'm torn on this one because I listened to him a lot when I was younger but obviously he's a terrible person, so I just can't enjoy his music anymore.

I've never listened to Dolly before and was surprised about how much I enjoyed this! I am not a country music fan in the slightest but this album was enjoyable.

Enjoyed this

Wow, this was an awesome album! I loved this and immediately started the album over once it was finished.
