White Blood Cells
The White StripesPretty good. Not amazing, but pretty good.
Pretty good. Not amazing, but pretty good.
I get the hype. No skips on this one.
Fantastic. Maybe my favorite Pink Floyd album.
Metal Mondays let's go.
If I had a nickel for every time I was amazed by a French electronica duo, I'd have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's still weird that it happened twice.
Pretty good. Obviously doesn't get near their best, but Til There Was You is a sweet little song.
Despite the language barrier, this is definitely a vibe.
Guys don't form game-changing musical groups with 7 of their best buds anymore.
You know, based on the album cover, I probably would agree with what they're singing about if I could just understand what they were saying.
Great album! It's always neat seeing the important social and political commentary through upbeat and catchy ska tunes. This is more experimental than I find a lot of ska tends to be, so I can see how this inspired a lot of similar groups in the 90's/2000's.
Honestly better than I thought it would be. I can definitely see why so many people enjoy her music. Great singing voice and some solid production. Not every song hits for me, but some do.
Some very great hits on this one.
Something about the unplugged performance really puts an emphasis on Kurt Cobain's voice in a great way.
I was pretty sad today, and even his sad songs made me feel better about it.
Definitely the saddest album I've heard in a long time. But sad in such a beautiful way.
Very fun. It's no Discovery, but come on, what is.
Very enjoyable.
Very chill. A little jazzy and a little bluesy. Good for a Tuesday morning.
With a name like "The Incredible Bongo Band", they do not disappoint.
It's alright, but that's such a funny name for an album.
This was nice. Kind of gave me an old school New Wave vibe.
A classic. Naturally.
Queen's older albums are great because I'm always finding new favorites. Flick of the Wrist is a standout.
Classic. Another No Skips Wednesday.
An emotional powerhouse. Come for Fast Car, stay for everything else on this album.
Classics. I always liked The Who more than The Rolling Stones.
Listening to this now, it's a bittersweet feeling. He was crazy talented, but it sucks that his brain broke like that.
Nice relaxing smooth jazz to make the afternoon easier.
It was alright. There wasn't really one song that was a big hit for me, but I didn't think it was bad.
Is it great? Yes.
Experimental British Industrial music isn't for everyone, and apparently I'm in that "everyone" category.
As someone who listened to a lot of older music, I was surprised at how many of these songs were new to me. Very interesting hearing the original version of Love Hurts though.
This was a fun surprise. Their style was an interesting mix of something more classic with something more ahead of its time. I can definitely see their influence on bands in the 90's and late 2000's. Set The House Ablaze is a standout for me.
Nine Inch Nails deserves 5 stars for this for the herculean task of making industrial metal into something catchy and memorable.
I guess I knew more songs from this group than I previously thought. Good tunes.
Groovy beats. Nothin wrong with that.
Groovy, spooky, overall not bad.
Pretty chill. Ambient and moody.
The thing about listening to any Led Zeppelin album is that it makes me want to listen to even more Led Zeppelin albums.
I wasn't always a big Neil Young fan, but there are some surprising tracks on this one. There Is A World really stands out.
Total classic. Freddie Mercury rules.
I just noticed I've been getting a lot of UK electronic music lately. Luckily it's all been pretty alright so far.
One of those bands I've heard of but can't think of a song I've heard from them. This was a pleasant surprise and I'm interested to find more from them.
This is a great album. Starts and ends really strong.
Mellow and moody. This feels like a different kind of Beck than what I was first introduced to in the 90's. Much more of an introspective turn. The production is fantastic.
I always like weird concepts like this. A soundtrack to an intense crime movie that doesn't exist is such a fun idea to me.
Experimental, but in a way I enjoy a lot more than some others. Funky or calm one minute, and eerie the next. The Sound Of Someone You Love Who's Going Away And It Doesn't Matter is a perfect song name.
Alright, but I liked the previous two Neil Young albums I rated more.
I liked the Stevie Nicks-led songs the most. Her voice is both ethereal and soulful.
Banger. No skips. Everything is on point. Cornell's wails are transcendent.
Musically there's not much wrong here, but I'm not big on the songwriting.
Some vibes transcend language. Loved the production on this, and Elis has a beautiful voice.
Not a ton of hits for me, but the hits do hit well. Sympathy for the Devil is one of the best rock songs of all time.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for keyboard solos.
Groovy. Beck never disappoints.
I didn't even know Beyonce had a sister.
Classic. There's so much authenticity and personality in her voice.
It's the Rolling Stones. Cool, but not the best ever.
Having seen the film, it's hard not to picture the imagery that comes with every track on this album. However, the writing and production is so strong with this album, I get the feeling I would have understood what Roger Waters was going for even without that imagery.
I can see the Beatles influence and why people would say they were going to be the "Next Beatles", but they don't quite reach that level. Good album though.
Trippy. I like the use of violin and cello in place of electric guitar. It definitely makes them stand out.
I had never heard Marianne Faithfull before, but I really dig her vibe. Her voice is so unique and her songwriting's very good too.
Experimental, but funky in a way that keeps it enjoyable for me. The various vocal samples in this worked to great effect, and some of the rhythms were so good I'm honestly surprised they haven't been sampled for beats before.
The energy from this album is contagious. If I wasn't working a desk job at this time, I'd be singing along with just about every track.
The last few tracks are maybe the best ending stretch of songs on any album. Golden Slumbers still makes me emotional.
For this I was bouncing back and forth between really good and just alright. Joni's cadence and songwriting are so unique for this time, you can see how she's become as influential as she is.
Banger after banger after banger. One of my favorites.
I enjoyed this more than I was expecting. I didn't realize We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful was from him.
Emotionally resonant and complex. Between the freeform jazz production and Kendrick's impactful lyrics, it's hard not to rate it this high.
Pretty good. Her voice worked great alongside the saxophone in Love and Affection.
Good harmonies, chill vibes.
Some real classics here, along with some I've never heard that I quite enjoyed.
Some pretty neat tunes. No Sympathy stands out to me.
This was nice. My mind was a little distracted with other things at the time, but this wasn't bad.
Elton John and Bernie Taupin are one of the greatest singer/songwriter duos in history, and this album is one of the reasons why.
The use of xylophone gives every song an almost Cal Tjader vibe. Very chill
Honestly, I didn't even know the Monkees were gonna be on this list.
Some cool vibes, some hits and some misses.
Not a huge Talking Heads guy. This was alright though.
How have I not heard this whole album before? Banger after banger on this one. Each of the songs I haven't heard before surprised me in new ways.
I have a soft spot for soft rock, and this felt alright. Nothing about it particularly grabbed me, but it was nice.
As someone who's only familiar with their pop music eras, it's kinda crazy to hear Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins doing prog rock. Gabriel plays the hell out of that flute though.
