This album was never all that appealing to me, couldn't really understand why everybody fawned over it so much -- part of the appeal to Nirvana, to me, was the noise, the feedback, distortion, Dave Grohl abusing his drum kit. It says something that my favorite song on this is actually a Meat Puppets song. That being said, it is also a fine listen, but nothing spectacular.

Meh, I forgot about the days where there were skits or interludes between every track -- glad those went out of style (except for the Wu-Tang interludes -- those are still the best thing ever). This is just a, mostly, boring album that seems to care more about shock value of what Em is saying than anything else. I do appreciate some Eminem -- not this album.

Yeah, no thanks. If my music is gonna tell a story— it is gonna be METAL!!!! And probably the story will be about dragons n’ shit!

First time listening to a full-length (not hits album or compilation) from ABBA. Poppy as all hell of course! Infectious, nothing offensive, good hooks, beats, production, vocal, ---probably won't ever listen to it again after today.

Not a fan, I know people love these guys but I just can’t get behind it. Our house is probably the only song I listened to all the way through. Sometimes they sound like the hippy beach boys at times

I hadn’t listened to this album in a very long time. It still stands up as a very approachable metal album. I prefer And justice for all as a complete album but there are certainly a few kickers on their eponymous album.

I had never listened to an album all the way through from the Go-Go's before today. I had certainly heard "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "We Got the Beat" before and those were certainly a fine listen and were highlights on the album but I think the songs that stuck out for me were "Tonite" and "You Can't Walk in You Sleep (If You Can't Sleep)" as they had a little more depth to me and weren't quite as "poppy". I would think the Go-Go's must have a been a really fun live show!

At first glance I said, "Ugh, really -- I actually don't want to listen to that". We will see how it goes today. Update: Ok fine, it was just fine. Sounds like The Beatles, maybe there is some backstory about why it was groundbreaking back in the day but, I probably won't ever listen to it again (as I hadn't ever listened to it all the way through before).

Ooh, I bought this one when it came out (or shortly there after). It was a big departure from my normal punk, thrash, and metal purchasing profile but this and D’Angelo’s Brown Sugar record are part of my mid to late 90’s R&B/soul collection. Some of the jazz elements that I thought were so cool in the 90’s don’t seem as innovative now as then but still a solid, smooth and silly listen

This is a fine album. It was good background music while working. I probably won’t be circling back to this anytime soon but a pleasant listen.

I had never heard of this band or album. After reading a bit, I can see why they get the credit of being an early metal or the first metal band. I hear Jimi Hendrix on "Summertime Blues", The Doors on "Rock Me Baby" (mostly the vocals) and in general I find it an interesting listen.

I like Stevie Wonder and I like this album. The “singles” in this album are certainly the most memorable with Superstition being a top song regardless of genre for me! But overall the rest of the songs don’t stand out too much but are fine as.

Liking this more than I thought I was going to and, of course, am realizing that I know a few more Deep Purple songs than I thought. The “live” elements stood up for the most part - drum solo on “The Mule” was pretty entertaining - not sure if all my drummer friends would say the same but - sounded good to me. After listening all the way through, this album kinda sounds like someone needed a soundtrack and for a 70’s era period movie and some good studio musicians came out a week later and said —How about this? That isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

I think this a good to great album. I didn't know until reading the notes today that The Dap-Kings were Amy's backing band -- and that makes so much sense! I am sucker for the R&B/Soul revival and is one of the best in the genre!

I haven’t listened to the Doors in years. My first three CDs that I purchased myself: The Doors, Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana. I don’t have anything bad to say about this album, nor do I have anything all that good to say about this album. A fine listen, but nothing more than that for me….

This album was never all that appealing to me, couldn't really understand why everybody fawned over it so much -- part of the appeal to Nirvana, to me, was the noise, the feedback, distortion, Dave Grohl abusing his drum kit. It says something that my favorite song on this is actually a Meat Puppets song. That being said, it is also a fine listen, but nothing spectacular.

I had never listened to this album at all and so far, I am liking it! I felt my foot tapping along while it played along in the background while working. I may need to put this on my "work" list for concentrating. I like "Us vs Them" and "sound of silver" and kinda dig most of the songs in their own way. A good listen

I knew of Supergrass, but I think I had them way more in the generic pop, like Spacehog (I actually have had these bands confused). I was very pleasantly surprised but this album and would probably circle back to this one sometime soon.

Meh, wasn’t a big fan then and don’t really see the appeal now either. I don’t think this album should be in the list

This album is just fine, nothing too exciting but has a general mix of soft R&B sounds.....

This was pretty good, a little sparse as you would expect. Overall a good album to have on in the background as I work..

Pretty ok Dance/70's music -- I have heard my partner's family sing "We are Family" every year at New Years for seemingly ever!

Meh, I kinda liked the minor key "intermission" at the end of Chemical World. Mostly forgettable.

Between "What's Goin on?" and "Let's Get it On" Marvin Gaye can do no wrong! Classic albums!

At first, I sighed, the Doors.... again. It felt too soon but, all in all this was a pretty good listen, will not put it in rotation -- but good hear.

I thought I was going to like this more than I did. I have seen them in concert and really enjoyed it —- really didn’t enjoy this album at all.

I kinda dig it! I get some Elvis Costello vibes on some songs and then some loose Cramps vibes on some other songs.

Nope, not a fan. I just can’t get past his voice, I just don’t like it when Neil sings. The music is fine, just not the rest.

Meh, I forgot about the days where there were skits or interludes between every track -- glad those went out of style (except for the Wu-Tang interludes -- those are still the best thing ever). This is just a, mostly, boring album that seems to care more about shock value of what Em is saying than anything else. I do appreciate some Eminem -- not this album.

Beyond Perfect Day, Wildside, and Good Night Ladies a very forgettable album for me but those songs are good...

Pretty good, I much prefer the DBT with Jason Isbell, just my personal preference. I think he joined right after this album (and actually toured with them performing this) -- Decoration Day is at top 20 song for me..

Serviceable but pretty ordinary, bluesy rock -- nothing stood out to me.

Ok, I thought I would like this more. Just some decent background noise.

No thanks.

I like this album, it really brought me back to a very specific time in my life and I have found that at my core I might still be that disgruntled and disaffected youth when you strip away the years and the gray hairs!

Pretty ok, Dirty Diana is probably the song I enjoyed the most on this album. I hadn't listened to much MJ in a very long time (not that I ever really did).

I absolutely love Otis Redding. This is not my favorite collection of songs by Otis but it is hard not to like it.

Ugh, I like their drummer and some of the riffs but beyond that jeez- I felt like I needed to be in an altered mind state to appreciate.

Meh, seemed like a pretty one note kinda album.

One of my favorite hip-hop albums. They also fell prey to the cutesy interludes.....unfortunately

A few good songs, a lot of sophomoric rhymes and shocking lyrics for the sake of shocking ..

I have listened to Jurassic 5 a little bit but probably never a whole album. I liked the album in general but it really didn't have any real standout songs, beats or rhymes. Probably won't be returning to it over other similar(ish) artists --

Not a huge fan, but I can see that it was a very forward thinking and groundbreaking release in 1974

I like Elton John, but don't looove Elton John and it isn't something in my normal rotation. I hadn't heard this album front to back before -- I liked it well enough.

Fiona Apple, I liked it! Eclectic mix of style and pace. It was a good change of pace for me.

Not for me. Mostly just meh.....

Pretty decent all the way around but nothing stood out as a great song!

Beyond some of the classics, the beach boys have never really been my thing but this was a good listen.

Meh, not sure what all the fuss is about -- I wasn't all that intrigued by the album

This album was fine, nothing too special and nothing that jumped out at me as classic Elvis Costello-

No thanks.

Hard not to tap your foot to Billy Joel!

Yeah, Can't say I have ever listened to a solo jazz piano album. I didn't hate it but I probably also wouldn't come back to very often.

I generally like the Talking Heads and this album is likable but not really memorable.

Meh, ok I guess nothing stood out to me except for the wildly overplayed Come on Eileen

This album grew on me, not fantastic, but got better as it went along.

Didn't get a chance to listen to the whole Album, but what I did catch -- I liked.

Really good album!

Meh, couldn’t really get through it, but some of the songs were fine.

Background music for me, not unpleasant but not my cup of mead so to speak.

Solid Album, good reminder to go back to listen to more!

I listened to this album, a whole lot when it came out and love it every time I hear it.

Didn’t mind this album at all. Has some real toe rappers on there..

I was a bit surprised by how much I liked this album.

This wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either!

One of the first cassettes I purchased with my own money and purchased Young MC’s Stone Cold Rhymin’ album on the same trip! I still listen to Young MC — Bon Jovi, not so much. Still this was a good blast from the past.

Jesus, I hope I can get through this. It was fine

Just fine, a few decent songs, never been a fan.

No thanks, beyond the title track— the songs are almost indistinguishable bog standard folk songs that are not my preference.

Jeebus, that was a boring ass record.

Not my favorite Beck Album -- pretty boring compared to Odelay or Mellow Gold. Just OK

Only real complaint is that my favorite CCR song -- The Midnight Special -- isn't on this album. Good album

Not a huge fan of The GD (or Jammy type bands in general). This was fine -- I liked it more than I thought I would. It certainly helped that this wasn't a live show recording and during a part of their "back to the land" phase.

I like it, I know some folks think it is a bit preachy but I like conscious hip-hop.

One of my favorite albums from the 90's. For some reason the line, "I want chicken and orange juice, that's whats on my rider" has been in my head since the 90's and I frequently blurt it out at inopportune times to the consternation of my family. And, of course, one of the best Busta guest tracks ever!

Overdose of adult contemporary jazz on this one! I know some folks that loove Sade and I normally respect their opinion on music. Not so sure on this one.

Pretty good, prett-ay, prett-ay good. Never listened to the whole album, dug on a few songs that I had never heard before.

Ooh, I have a sweet spot for this kinda fun, almost trashy metal. When this came out - It was a little like hearing a good Cheap Trick song for the first time!

Sorry, just really couldn't do it. It was and is really hard to take this band seriously.

I mean it is vintage, and I mean vintage MJ -- and Rock with you is a good song but it isn't a spectacular record.

Ugh, this album was on repeat when I was a kid. My parents played it almost constantly (it definitely felt that way). For whatever reason I can’t stand listening to this particular album. I like some of Paul Simon’s solo stuff - just can’t abide the S&G material.

Pretty good for electronica, not really close to my overall musical taste but fine.

Started out like, wow! this is a Genesis album this is kinda cool. A few songs in, oh, this IS a Genesis album -- that tracks. Overall just ok. Props on the firs song though I liked that one alot.

Sounds like a pretty good bar band, outside of Layla -- there didn't really seem to be any really memorable songs -- maybe it was just my mood.

There are some bangers in here and a few clunkers. I forgot how catchy Big Time was!

I have a soft spot for ole’ Franky Boy! Pretty standard swing songs but FS makes ‘em sounds better somehow.

I didn't like the "Connection" song when it came out and is still probably one of the weaker saccharine sweet pop songs on the album, but there were some other pretty good songs on this album! I was pleasantly surprised!

Ugh, I have never liked the Mama's and the Papa's. This album is no different.

Pretty good. Not as good as I remember the critics raving about when it came out but some overall good songs.

I really, really, really like this album.

There is a Stone Roses fan in my house, it isn't me. The music is fine, I heard a nice bass line every now and again but I found this album to be ....flat, it seems like whenever the vocals come in the song just deflates. I wish they would pick a lane -- emo-pop or high energy brit-pop (beause this mid-tempo shit is exhausting, it seems like they are stuck in 2 gear and trying to pass a truck on the freeway. (this was written half-way through the album) Ok, now that I am all the way through the album -- I liked "shoot you down" the vocals didn't drag down the music and I also thought "Made of Stone" and "I am the Resurrection" were pretty OK.

Well, I used to love, love Jimi Hendrix. One of my first CDs was “Are you Experienced?” I purchased a fair number of imports and ephemera from Jimi and thought they were all awesome. Jimi's rendition of "Killing" Floor on a European double CD import is still one of my favorite songs. This album is just fine, a few really good songs but on the whole a little underwhelming.

So far, nothing special. Didn’t really like that symphony song when it originally was released and still don’t. Not much here for me lyrics wise either. Yeah, only occasionally did I notice a change the song, they all seemed pretty similar and boring.

I had heard of Skepta and had heard good things, but I hadn't really heard much Skepta music. There are a few good songs on here, a few just ok, and then a few just bleh songs for my taste.

Nothing wrong with this album, but not a whole bunch like, really, RIGHT about this album either. I know lots of folks that love Husker DU, I think they are mostly just bland.

Ele-fuckin'-vator music (so far). Great musicianship from everybody so far and I know people are really into Sufjan Stevens. Maybe I just need to give it a few listens. After listening to the whole album there are a few bright spots that had me slightly more interested in the album overall but not enough to make me want to listen to any more from Sufjan.

I should have just not listened to this album. I don't think I liked any part of this album -- well it was so blandly inoffensive, I mean almost aggressively bland, I completely lost interest so I probably really only listened to the first two or three songs so at least isn't was keeping my attention throughout.

I liked it. I knew most of these songs before listening but not all -- beyond a few hokey lines about hippies and such there wasn't a whole lot to be picky about.

I really didn't like this band back in the day. Still don't think they are all that great but better than Limp Bizkit and some of the other Nu Metal bands...

Upon reveal but before listening: oh yeah, I remember this band -- but I don't remember what they sound like. After listening, yeah I dig it.

Before listening: Ugh, I hope I can get through this. Three songs in: No, No, No, I do not approve. Boring, folky, psychedalia Six songs in: Hell no, did not get better. I don't like the lyrics, the vocals, just no. Full album: Thankfully, I never have to listen to that ever again.

Before listening: I have definitely heard some Janelle Monae but don't really have an opinion beyond that I vaguely optimistic abut the listen. Four songs in: I liked the classical intro and the idea behind the album, the music is sometimes just vaguely poppy soul but with more interesting lyrics. Nine songs in: Yeah still feel pretty good about the album as a whole but really haven't heard a song yet that I think really stands out

First couple of songs, Just ok, nothing spectacular so far. Full album -- meh, nothing really caught my ear.

Pre: Never heard of this band or album. After a couple of songs I am realizing that I was expecting something way more upbeat, Flogging Molly-like, for some reason. The album cover really fooled me, so far I am absolutely not impressed. What in the living hell was that modern adult contemporary jazz interlude "Re-instated". This took a turn for the worse quick. Do not recommend.

Just ok, it quickly melted into background noise and I hardly noticed when the album finished.

Well, My son is really into hip-hop right now, so car rides have been filled with Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, (a little) Kanye, etc.. so I have actually listened to parts of this album more recently than I would have without his influence. We will see how this goes. Well, there are some good songs on here -- also a lot, alot of just talking and skits........but Slow Jamz is a banger. ...She said she want some Marvin Gaye some Luther Vandross......

Not a huge electronic music / dance music fan. The “rapping” / spoken word stuff on this album is terrible but the beats are OK.

Not a huge Iron Maiden fan, but I dig it!

Disco! Not my thing! Good Times is familiar, the rest are forgettable

Just fine. Nothing really stood out as too great or too terrible.

I like this one, pretty decent jangly guitars.....

Not a huge fan, but I listened alll the way through and heard some good stuff.

Absolutely nothing of note to say about this album. I may as well have been listening to Muzak, a white noise generator or hell I don’t even know how to describe. I wish I could give this album “null” stars.

This was fine. I liked samba and bossa nova vibe but really didn't find myself overly excited by any of the songs.

Pre: Hell yeah! Parliament on a Friday --- this is going to be a good day. Yup, still really good.

Pre: I don’t know much about this album, but I have heard of the artist. Not 100% sure I know what to expect. After: Lorde’s voice is nice but a bit breathy at times. The lyrics aren’t really my thing but I could see how a young person might find more meaning in them than I do. Music is just fine, didn’t really find myself drawn in by much but it was mostly pleasant.

Meh, never heard of them beforehand and will probably never think about them or the album again…

Well, I was a certain I wasn’t gonna like this album, but I was wrong. Parts of it gave me Morphine vibes solid album it I may never listen to it or Nick Cave again. We will see.

I have generally liked the Bollywood style of music as energetic and a good change of pace. This was fine, but I probably won't be revisiting anytime soon.

Great, another set of scruffy looking white dudes from the 60's. I don't really remember much about THE BAND except that I think my parents had a few of their albums. Oh yeah, I had forgotten about "Up on Cripple Creek". Nothing much to day about this album. Pretty forgettable, not really what I am into normally.

I had forgotten which songs Dusty Springfield sang and was very pleasantly surprised by the album.

Not great, not too bad. Wasn’t too excited by the vocalist- meh.

I like Elton John and I Iike this album.

Well, I felt like there were too many guitars solos that started off sounding like a bad dj trying to scratch. There were a few good songs, but almost every song had potential and then something fucked it up, a weird drum part or riff or weird guitar solo

This is still a good album! This album is also a good reminder of how much of the Nirvana sound, to me, is Dave Grohl’s drumming!

Definitely felt like a Duran Duran album. Beyond Rio and Hungry like the wolf I doubt that I had heard any of the other songs on the album. Didn’t really excite me or disgust me so Iguessit was ok.

Nope, no thank you. This kind of out of place bongo and zither shit is not my cup o' psychedelic mushroom tea.

Pretty good pretty good, pretty nice pretty nice

I really like The Specials, this isn’t even the best album from the Specials that I have listened to today! Their first album is 5 stars for me. This one a 4.

Never really been a fan of U2, I have liked a few songs over the years but have never looked for their music or thought it was all that fantastic. We will see how this goes.

Hellzzz yeah! Let’s get it goin’ on a Monday. All right, this was pretty ok over all nothing great beyond the singles we all know!

Never really though about Incubus much at all, beyond a vague feeling that I wouldn't like them -- we will see that happens today. During: yeah they are ok -- sounds like POD or so many other Nu-metal, alt-metal bands from the 90s, lots of lyrics tailor made for teenagers. After: Meh, forgot they had a DJ. On the songs that I heard the DJ -- the scratching felt way out of place.

Oh hell no… this sounds like the Beatles but electronica. Hard pass.

I don't think I have ever listened to this front to back. Should be a good one though!

You know what, not sure I know much of anything about Yes -- maybe a little proggy? Let's see..... 1st song --- um are we sure this isn't Mannheim Steam roller, oh no can't be there are lyrics.... No thanks. 2nd: Oh, this is different and pretty ok. 3- through the end.......No thanks.

Um, pretty ok. After about three songs it slipped into the background and it didn't ever grab my attention again.

Nope not for me, some strange -- to me -- vocal choices -- falsetto, etc....

Yeah, no thanks. If my music is gonna tell a story— it is gonna be METAL!!!! And probably the story will be about dragons n’ shit!

Before: Jeez, the downers just keep on coming this week. Maybe this album will be better than I remember. After: Just a couple songs that I kinda like just because I have heard them a million times throughout my life (but would absolutely never choose to listen to myself) and a couple of snooze fest soft "country" rock.
