I really don’t understand why this album had such a low overall rating. What do you want? It’s The Bee Gees. Barry sings with ridiculous vibrato, and the one guy usually sounds like he’s singing with his mouth full of marbles. Same as all their albums. I liked this. Pre-disco Bee Gees are the best. Aside from the length (it could have been a few songs shorter) there weren’t really ANY tracks I didn’t like. I mean that. The album wasn’t amazing, but it was decent and fun. Favorite song was “First of May.” Excellent.

I admit, I didn’t listen to the whole thing. It’s not that it was horrible, but it was just so incredibly meh that I didn’t see the point. One thing that WAS good about the album was that his voice made me picture him singing in this sad nightclub completely lacking in swank. He’s swinging the microphone by its cord and running his fingers through his greasy hair. His shirt is unbuttoned enough that you can see his taco meat sticking out the top. There’s a middle aged woman in the front row dabbing her neck and chest with a napkin.

How cute that this album pops up on Christmas. Such a sweet idea. Lots of great Christmas songs on here and it was fun to listen to while hanging out at home relaxing.

This album was so fun!!! I loved it from start to finish. Some of the lyrics even made me laugh out loud. The only way it could have been better is if I knew all the words by heart so I could have sung along.

I don’t like the Doors. I can understand why some people do, but Jim Morrison’s voice does NOT do it for me. I can’t stand how he wails in every song and his voice is just so theatrical it sounds forced and borders on corny. Anyway, I won’t say anymore about it, because I know people love the man, but nope, not for me 👎 I’ll give it two stars because I didn’t hate the album. I just wish someone else had sung it

This album was so fun!!! I loved it from start to finish. Some of the lyrics even made me laugh out loud. The only way it could have been better is if I knew all the words by heart so I could have sung along.

I was pretty bored listening to this album. Her voice is definitely beautiful, but none of the songs felt special or stood out to me. Each song just seemed to roll unremarkably into the next. This was my first and will be my only listen.

I thought this album was cool, creative and fun to listen to. Bowie’s style and voice are so offbeat and his lyrics are downright weird sometimes, but it keeps things interesting. Besides the notables…Starman (one of my favorite Bowie songs), Ziggy Stardust, and Suffragette City, there were some other songs that stood out, like Five Years, Moonage Daydream, and Lady Stardust. Rock n Roll Suicide was just a perfect ending. David Bowie is his own genre.

Led Zeppelin is often hit or miss for me. While there are some Zeppelin songs that I absolutely love, and this album has a couple of them, I’ll never listen to it straight through again. Besides their fourth album, I think I’d prefer to listen to a compilation of their hits. Am I allowed to say that??

I enjoyed most of this album. You never knew what style the next song would be. Some of the songs reminded me of Herman’s Hermits or the Monkees. Others sounded kind of like Three Dog Night or something. There really wasn’t a cohesive sound to the album, but that kept things interesting. Overall I thought it was pretty original and quirky.

I couldn’t listen to this album. I really REALLY don’t like this style of music to begin with, and the lyrics were just the worst. No redeeming qualities to be found.

I’ve always liked Don McLean. His voice is relaxing and his lyrics are thoughtful. Sometimes the execution is a little boring though, which was the case for a few songs on this album. But still, I enjoyed it. Vincent and Empty Chairs are undeniably beautiful songs.

I had never heard of this band before and their music definitely isn’t something I’d typically listen to. But the album was fun and energetic. I’d probably have to listen to it a couple more times to familiarize myself to the style.

How I love Nick Drake. It’s such a pity he only released three albums. Pink Moon is as minimalist as it gets, but I think it was executed so well. His expertise on the guitar keeps things interesting. “Which Will” and “From the Morning” are a couple favorites from the album.

If I could give this album negative stars therefore negating previously earned stars I would do it

Bob Dylan is a struggle to listen to for anything longer than 10 or so minutes for me. I can appreciate a few of his songs. He certainly can tell an amazing story, but his voice is just….I don’t know, bad? This album did have a few winners. Just Like a Woman is one of my favorite Dylan songs, and Stuck Inside of Mobile is a classic, but overall I fail to see the appeal.

What a pleasant surprise!! I hadn’t heard of this artist before and didn’t really know what to expect, but I enjoyed the whole album.

I was pretty young when this album was released, and this is the first time I ever listened to it the whole way through. I can’t say that I’m really a Nirvana fan, but there are so many great, well known songs on it, it really doesn’t deserve less than five stars

Not at all enjoyable to listen to. Just awful

This album grew on me with a couple listens. Some of the songs were incredibly cheesy, but the more folksy songs had a nice sound to them that I ended up enjoying.

Just meh…Nothing on this album stood out.

Dolly has such a sweet voice and this album was so cute. Very easy to listen to with fun lyrics.

The Byrds had such an amazing sound. It’s sad they weren’t around too long. Their harmonies were so pleasant and their style was such a beautiful blend of folk and rock. I loved this album!!

Very relaxing to listen to. And I loved that it had instruments and sounds I wasn’t used to hearing.

I thought the album was a little too long. The music wasn’t bad, but it kind of lost my interest about halfway through.

I’m going to give it two stars, because the musicians are so talented, but this wasn’t an enjoyable listen. This type of music just isn’t my cup of tea

This album was a bit sad sounding, but had some really good songs on it. And Jeff has such an expressive voice

I liked this album, but it didn’t have any of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs on it save Homeward Bound. It was relaxing and pleasant, but also bordered on boring.

I just don’t like jazz. I wasn’t able to enjoy this album at all

This one was just ok. Doll Parts rang a bell and that was a good song. So was Violet. I just don’t think that she has a fantastic voice.

This album sounded just like every other British pop album from the 80s. It was ok. Some of the songs were a bit catchy, but I didn’t think it was too special.

Can’t think of a situation where I’d ever feel like listening to this album again…

This album was fun, but a bit intense. Definitely a pick me up though, compared to some of the boring albums in the mix

I really liked this album!!! First one in a while that I’ve enjoyed the whole way through. The singer’s voice was beautiful and it made the album very easy to listen to.

Oh, this one was painful. I possess enough self love that I only allowed myself to be tortured by her horrible voice for a few songs before I turned it off. What is it doing on this list 😩

From his little globe head that sits atop his slight frame to his underwhelming tuft of untamed chest hair, Moby is an Adonis and an icon. I don’t know anyone who could rock black slacks and sneakers like this little guy. Moby, your talent is unmatched both in fashion and in mixing sick beats. Metaphorically speaking you are a giant among men. Call me

This album brought back some really good memories for me. I didn’t realize how many hits she had on this one album. Some may knock it for sounding a bit dated, but for those of us who were coming of age when these songs were playing on the radio, it will always be a blast to hear. Alanis is awesome and was such a cool and strong figure for girls in the 90s.

El álbum fue bastante bueno 👍

Thank you so much Little Richard. You were just the shot of adrenaline I needed after a week of rain and melancholia. Long Tall Sally is just great, and all I could picture was Dutch and Dillon in a helicopter on their way to the jungle. Little Richard was a sexual tyrannosaurus. I wish I knew where he got his energy.

I have listened to this album countless times since I was a kid and was all too happy to listen again. Abbey Road is my most favorite Beatles album and one of my favorite albums of all time. There are no stinkers on it. Not one. It’s enjoyable from start to finish. It’s quirky and fun and creative and catchy. Even though I know I can listen to it whenever I want, for some reason I got really excited when I saw that it was my next album. I felt like a precious gift had been bestowed upon me 😂 So many good memories attached to this album. My favorite songs are both George songs, Because, Oh! Darling, and the medley at the end ❤️

All these years I thought I liked CCR 🤔 John Fogarty’s voice is unbearable. The instrumentals are awesome, but the singing. It’s just…annoying I only got halfway through the third song before I called it quits. I’m sorry America. I just don’t like Creedence Clearwater Revival. There I’ve said it

Who doesn’t like Bob Marley. Lots of well known songs on this album like Jamming, Three Little Birds, One Love, Exodus (which should have been about three minutes shorter), and Waiting in Vain. I do prefer the Annie Lennox version though 😬 I’m happy people can’t comment directly to that 😁 Overall, it was a fun listen.

I was very curious about this album, because who the heck doesn’t like “Take on Me”? But that was the first song and after that it was pretty much all downhill from there. Completely unremarkable, which was kind of disappointing. One of the songs was enjoyable, but I don’t remember which one 🤷‍♀️ Another album from this list that I won’t be listening to again 🙄

This is literally an album of hits, and it’s also Boston’s first album, so is that the equivalent of peaking in high school? I don’t know. I feel kind of bad for Boston because every single person has heard every song on this album at least 100 billion times. I didn’t listen to the whole thing. Just kind of went through each song and was like “oh yeah, it’s THAT song.” But still, not many artists or bands can say that they’ve ever put out an album where every song was played on the radio. That’s pretty unheard of. I can’t fathom giving them less than 5 for that reason. That and the fact that Brad Delp was troubled…😔 He deserves 5 stars.

It’s undeniable that Adele has an incredible voice. The album was easy to listen to and beautiful, and I recognized and liked several of the songs, especially Send My Love. That being said, I don’t think I’ll listen to it again in its entirely. It did get a bit boring after a few songs. Just kind of faded into the background. I know people love Adele, she’s wonderful, just not my cup of tea. I can’t give her less than 3 stars though, because she does have a fantastic voice.

I was surprised I liked this album as much as I did, because I knew absolutely nothing about this band. I didn’t even know Rod Stewart had been in a band before his solo career 😅 I like Rod Stewart as much as the next gal, but I actually preferred the other guy’s voice to his. I especially liked the song Debris. And I extra especially like how the Brits say debris. It’s the cutest

Wow what an album 🤩 It starts off with three incredible songs. I Feel The Earth Move is an absolute blast to sing along to in the car 😂 And So Far Away and It’s Too Late are heartbreakers for me, but in the best way. I discovered Carole King when I was a teenager and I always liked her, and not just because she had a mop of unruly curly hair like I did. She’s a great songwriter with a powerful voice.

Ok so I’m starting to put some pieces together about my taste in music. Seems that several of the bands I like from the 60s consist of various members of CSNY 😂 Crosby from the Byrds, Nash from the Hollies and Stills and Young from Buffalo Springfield. Hmmm. Not sure why it took me so long to figure this one out 🤔 I enjoyed the album, no surprise there. I love the harmonies and the sound of the guitar. My favorite song was Expecting To Fly. Some of it got a bit boring, or maybe started to sound the same, but I’d probably listen again anyway. I definitely enjoyed it more than all the British pop drivel on this list

So this album was good, but 12 songs of this style of music was a bit much for me and I was happy when it was over. Oh Boy is the best song on the album. The other two well known songs, That’ll Be The Day and Maybe Baby, are good too. I like Buddy Holly’s voice and I’m sure some of the things he was doing were pretty revolutionary for the time. He seemed to be a creative guy and his signature style is actually pretty cool in a very adorably nerdy way. For the most part it was an enjoyable album.

When I saw my next album I admit I was tempted to just skip it, because rap to me is usually poop, but I didn’t. And my bravery paid off, because this album was actually ok. I felt like a super cool mom driving my Honda with the Wu-Tang Clan on. There’s only one catch. I inadvertently listened to the clean version of the album. Oops. I didn’t mind though. Who needs profanity? I certainly don’t. I rolled right up to the mall to spend my dolla dolla bills ya’lllll with a clean conscience and a pep in my step.

Janis Joplin is undeniably cool and she’s got such a unique voice. That being said, I thought this album was good, but not great 😬 Does that make me a complete square?? Maybe if I listened a few more times I’d like it more. I did very much appreciate her raspy vocals and she sang with a depth and passion of someone much older. It’s crazy how young she was to record an album like this. I’d say my faves were “Me and Bobby McGee” obvi and “My Baby.” And Mercedes Benz was adorable 🙂

I’ve never in my life heard of the band Elbow. But maybe I should have, because this album was really really cool!! Usually the meaning of cleverly written song lyrics eludes me, no exception here 😅 but I really loved the words to these songs, even if I didn’t completely grasp the full meaning at times. I enjoyed how some of the phrases and lines were crafted. To me the lyrics were thoughtful and really sweet. And musically it was beautiful and creative. I’ve already listened to it twice and some of the songs I’ve listened to many times. It has kind of a Peter Gabriel vibe, but not as weird. My favorites were Mirrorball, An Audience With the Pope, and One Day Like This. Grounds For Divorce sounds so incredibly British 😂 I love that one toot.

What a pleasant surprise with this one!! My sister bought this CD when it came out and so I’d heard it a bunch, but that was 20+ years ago!! It was neat listening again after all these years, because there were songs on here that I haven’t heard since I was a teenager, but I was still able to remember some of the lyrics. I don’t think Madonna has an especially magnificent voice. It’s not really all that powerful or versatile in my humble opinion, but what she does posses is creativity and she’s never been afraid to try new things. Her mid to late 90s phase is my favorite and so this album is a thumbs up for me. It isn’t at all boring and even though it sounds very much like a late 90s album I think it holds up well. My favorites on this one were Skin, Nothing Really Matters, Frozen, and The Power of Goodbye.

Oh Wish You Were Here. I used to make out with an old boyfriend to this album (his pick not mine), which after listening to it again was probably an odd choice 🤔 But the feelings remain. David Gilmour has the voice of an angel, doesn’t he 🥹 and the title track Wish You Were Here is just perfect. Have a Cigar is my second favorite. Listening to this album all these years later, it did feel a bit monotonous at times (10+ minute long songs are typically an automatic no for me), but the album is still absolutely magnificent. I think I’d prefer listening to it with someone though, instead of alone. I feel like it’s a real hang out and shoot the breeze kinda album, more so than a make out one. But it was certainly a nice trip down memory lane.

I had high hopes for this one going in. I was already familiar with two Beau Brummels songs, and I like them, although neither of them are on here. I didn’t mind this album really, but it was just nothing special. I have no idea why it’s on this list. Oh, and It Won’t Get Better is such a stupid song

This was the first time I’d listened to a Willie Nelson album. It was nice enough. It got a bit repetitive, but was only 33 minutes long, so not too bad. I’m not a huge fan of Willie’s voice, I mean, he sings well, but the way his voice sounds can get a bit annoying 😕 “Just as I Am” is one of my favorite hymns, but this one sounded a bit too similar to a MIDI file 😅 My favorites were “Can I Sleep In Your Arms” and “Bandera.” “Red Headed Stranger” was good too. I like how Can I Sleep In Your Arms was to the tune of Red River Valley. It was just a sweet little song. Overall not too bad.

Sting was an artist that I kind of grew up with. My mom would sometimes put on his CDs when cleaning the house on Saturday mornings. When I hear him I’m immediately transported to the mundane and have strong urges to vacuum the floor. I don’t know how to feel about Sting, honestly, and I know this is a Police album. Sometimes his songs are so incredibly annoying. I’m looking at you “Walking in Your Footsteps.” And what the eff was that “Mother” song? And whenever I think about what he does with his mouth when he sings 🤔….But then I have a soft spot in my heart for songs like “King of Pain” and “Wrapped Around Your Finger.” I can’t help myself. It’s like Sting tries to be an intellectual and it just comes off as pretentious, or maybe I’m too simple to grasp his genius 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, this album didn’t resolve any of my complicated feelings about Sting. It just muddied the waters even more.

So today was my fourth Neil Young album from this generator and I got one yesterday too that I didn’t listen to 😅 What is going on?! And I think there’s more to come 😩There’s only so much of that falsetto that I can handle at a given time. This album was ok, better than yesterday’s. I had given up after two or three songs yesterday, because it was just not enjoyable. Today’s was a bit better. The title track is good and so is “Only Love Can Break Your Heart.” I’ve always liked that one. “Birds” was a nice song too and of course “Southern Man” is great in all its condescension. Not really much else to say about this album. Neil Young is good in CSNY, but to listen to his voice over and over on his own album is a bit much for me

This was the first Slipknot album I’ve ever listened to and I feel like a proverbial cherry has been popped. There is now a definitive before and after. A “no going back” if you will. How I felt before 😃😇 versus how I feel after 😱😡 Soiled. Besmirched. Tainted. I think I need to swim with some dolphins or snuggle a kitten or bake cookies or something to escape the despondency. This music is so upsetting and depressing and angry ☹️ When I was listening to Gematria I had to firmly grip the steering wheel of my car as I felt I might slip into a dissociative fugue and drive headlong into a ditch to end my suffering. Ok, so yes, Vendetta had some pretty insane drumming and so I have to give credit where it’s due. This Cold Black and the title track were not enjoyable on any level for me along with several other songs near the beginning of the album. All the scary screaming 😩 Child of Burning Time wasn’t too bad and Vermilion was a good song, but so sad. Snuff is great 🦆 The one guy, I don’t know how many singers there are, he really does have a very nice voice. Is there more than one singer? Surely the screaming man can’t be the same as the nice voiced man. I’ve listened to the entire hour and twelve minutes while trying really hard to not pay attention to the lyrics. True to the title it really is a hopeless sounding album. My honest opinion is that the songs that don’t include a bunch of screaming are pretty ok not taking into account the lyrics. I like them more than I thought. But unless my goal is to make myself feel like garbage I see no reason to listen to this album in its entirety ever again!!!!!

Listening to this album in the car I felt like Eddie Valiant from Who Framed Roger Rabbit driving through Toon Town. A happy and smiling sun singing in the sky. Trees and animals dancing, just loving life. This album was really nice, but it was almost TOO nice, even for me!! I do love the song “Close to You.” I can’t deny that. And if I’m going to listen to an overly sweet album, I’d like Karen Carpenter to be the one singing. Her voice is absolutely lovely 🌸

I’m really not sure how to rate this album…it had some good songs, Lazarus and I Can’t Give Everything Away, but the first song was 10 minutes long and really weird 😩 The other few songs were also pretty strange. Not for me. I’m a simple girl with simple tastes, ok. I just want to be able to sing along to songs that sound pleasant to my ear 😁 This album did not satisfy those requirements. But I suppose I can give Bowie a pass, because he was such a cool kook that he’s allowed to do anything he wants 😅 I’m happy I finally listened to this album, but I won’t be listening again.

It’s like all the British bands from the 80s got together and formed a Cabal where they all agreed to sound exactly the same, because they all knew their sound was awful and they were only capable of producing an inferior and mediocre product, therefore eliminating competition amongst themselves, thus manipulating the free market or whatever, which in turn punished the consumer who was none the wiser and didn’t realize that they were merely pawns in an unjust system of musical tyranny. However, I feel like by rating and reviewing just one British band I’ve therefore rated them all and saved myself time. Haha joke’s on you!!

I have such a soft spot for Tom Petty. The peculiar voice, the soft feathery blonde hair, those teeth!! Adorable 😊 I enjoyed this album. I don’t really have anything negative to say about it. It wasn’t spectacular, but it was good, and it kept my interest the whole way through and I just really like his weird voice 😅 I would definitely listen to it again and I can’t usually say that for albums on here

I really enjoy Cat Stevens. He’s got a nice soothing sound. Yes, things can wander into cheese territory and the lyrics are pretty bizarre at times, but he’s got a lovely voice and he plays guitar so well. You just have to go with it. Let the corniness wash over you. Bask in its glory. There were a lot of fantastic songs on here. Father and Son is such a beautiful thoughtful song. And Where Do The Children Play is a favorite as well. More albums like this would be great please and thank you.

I think someone in the comments referred to Common as someone who writes “dad rap”? Is that true? I’m not a dad, I’m not even a guy, but I didn’t mind this album. It was easy to listen to, because there wasn’t a bunch of cussing and yelling. Will I listen again? No. Did I listen to the whole thing? No. But the fact that I listened beyond the first song is really saying something, because I don’t like rap. And you know what, I don’t care if that makes me “uncool” or “a wet blanket” or “no fun at parties.” I know my truth.

How cute that this album pops up on Christmas. Such a sweet idea. Lots of great Christmas songs on here and it was fun to listen to while hanging out at home relaxing.

🙄🙄🙄 Just awful. I can’t understand how a person could listen to this and think “now THIS is talent!!!” Stupid lyrics, awful singing. Is there a worse combination for music out there?? It was so unpleasant. I must have a totally different idea of what the point of listeninfg to music is. Some people must listen to feel like garbage. To each his own 🤷‍♀️

This album was over 2 hours long 😩 I didn’t listen to the whole thing, I just couldn’t. Not even close actually. It’s definitely catchy music and oh so wholesome sounding, and they’re super talented instrumentally, but 2+ hours is just too much of any one band in my opinion. I mean, unless you’re REALLY into bluegrass. I had no idea this band had such a long history. The only song I was familiar with was Fishin’ in the Dark. Their earlier sound was so different from that one. I know some people complained about the talking. I didn’t mind it. I think stuff like that can be so endearing and bring more personality to an album. But why is it so long? 😭😭😭

This album wasn’t too bad. I was kind of surprised that I didn’t hate it, although none of the songs were super memorable. It was spacey and ethereal sounding. But was it ethereal enough???? No. No it wasn’t. I wanted more. I wanted to be transported, but I was not. 3 stars

Not bad. Definitely not my favorite Byrds album or my favorite sound from them, but there were a couple good ones on here. You Ain’t Goin Nowhere was my favorite. I discovered from this album generator that I kind of like some old country rock songs. Gram Parson’s Flying Burrito Brothers was another cool find and you can hear his influence on this album a lot. This is the kind of stuff that I’m enjoying discovering on here.

I’m not exactly sure why this album is on this list. It’s not super memorable, but I also didn’t feel the need to turn it off after the first 30 seconds like, oh, that horrific Fat Boy Slim album or The Prodigy!!! Awful!! This one was listenable and had a pleasant enough sound to it. I’ll take that over my ears bleeding any day 👍

This album was so wonderful 😭🥹 I agree with other reviewers who said that they’ve had to second guess some of their previous 5 star reviews, because THIS is a 5 star album if ever there was one. I can’t even believe how many amazing songs are on here. Yes, it’s definitely long, and some of the individual songs run a bit long too, but that’s really just nitpicking, because this album is really one hit after another. Each song is special. And Stevie Wonder has such a positive sound. He was singing about some pretty heavy themes in a few of these songs, but he made sure that they were still listenable and enjoyable instead of just making a point. This has become one of my favorite albums of all time just like that. I loved it so much❤️❤️❤️

I effing LOVE Sam Cooke!! His is one of my favorite voices of all time and I was so happy when this album popped up as my next listen. It has so many good songs on it. One of my favorites by him is Nothing Can Change This Love. Just lovely 🙂 The only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars is that it was live 😩 It had great energy, but I don’t like all the screaming and the audience sing-a-long nonsense.

This was the first time I’d ever listened to John Prine although I realized that I was already familiar with a few of his songs which had been covered by other people. His voice is, well, not great, but it’s endearing and his songs were so fun to listen to, because they told stories and so you had to listen to the whole thing to see what happened. I liked that. And Bob Dylan’s voice is absolute poop and people still like him, because of his songwriting ability. So why the heck not John Prine?

When I started playing the first song I thought oh, I think I’m really going to like this. What a neat sound. But several songs in and still nothing was really happening. It was pleasant, but kind of boring. I think it had a lot of potential, but never really got there. And why do artists insist on making albums that are an hour or more long?? Forty-five minutes is sufficient to get your point across, thank you.

This album was pretty good to start. It seemed kind of ahead of its time. Eventually though the guy’s voice started getting on my nerves. I don’t think I’d listen again, but it certainly was far from the worst album I’ve encountered on this list.

I liked this album, but I can see why some wouldn’t. If you don’t particularly appreciate Paul Simon’s writing style or their voices and harmonies then I can see where this album could be super annoying for someone. I like all that stuff and so I enjoyed most of the songs. America is a favorite Simon and Garfunkel song of mine, and I like Bookends and A Hazy Shade of Winter too.

It seemed like this album tried really hard to be cool. It really wasn’t. It just seemed so unbelievably corny to me. There was something about it that came across as trying way too hard. Maybe it was because I had poisoned the well by reading a review that said it sounded like dentist rock 😂 I hadn’t any idea what dentist rock could be but when I listened to this album I finally understood.

So this one surprised me. I thought I hated The Clash, but this album was actually kind of enjoyable. Musically it was done really well. The voices got annoying after a while though and it was entirely too long, but I didn’t immediately want to turn it off and so that’s a plus. There were songs that I actually really liked. Not something I’d listen to again probably, but as far as how well it’s done…waaaay better than other punk music I’ve heard on here which was just trash.

This album was awesome. I hadn’t heard much “funky Temptations” but these guys are fantastic no matter what 💖 Their harmonies are just the best!!! My only gripe is their one song was like 10 minutes long. That kills me 😩

So this one surprised me a little. It was pretty stupid, but not horrible. I don’t know who listens to this stuff for fun, I really don’t. The singing was not great. Not great at all, but…..it had a special something. It was so ridiculous that it was actually entertaining. I’ll never listen to this again in my life, but I’m going to give it two stars not one, because I was expecting something in particular, but it delivered a little something more.

I literally can’t listen to another British post-punk/synth pop album. Why are there so many on here?? 😩 They all sound so similar and they’re just annoying. I swear it’s the same guy singing in all the bands because all the lead singers sound exactly the same. I don’t see how this one stands out from any of the other 25+ British post punk/synth pop albums on here and I’m just so confused as to why I should listen to every.single.one before I die 😭

I’d never listened to an album of theirs in its entirety. This one was a treat from start to finish 👍

I always thought post Beatles Paul was kind of cheesy. After listening to this album in its entirety I stand by that assessment. Soooo cheesy. The lyrics are just stupid to me. And Bluebird, good grief. Awful. Won’t be listening again.

I’d never heard of this album or of any of the songs on it. It’s kind of weird to be honest. But I liked it. Not your typical Beach Boys vibe, but it just goes to show that they were more than just singing about surfing and girls. Not bad.

Shame on me for not giving Amy Winehouse a fairer shake all those years ago. I really wasn’t too in love with her voice at the time and so I didn’t familiarize myself with much more than what was played on the radio. That was a mistake, because this album was absolutely awesome and she had so much personality in her voice that I just didn’t appreciate when I was younger. Back to Black is a phenomenal song. Hands down my favorite on the album. Love is a Losing Game and Tears Dry on Their Own were also great. Lots of heartbreakers on here, but it wasn’t a sad, depressing album. I wish there were more female artists on this list. I’m 380 albums in and so far only about 15% were female solo artists or bands that had female leads. That’s pretty pathetic

This album came out when I was about 13 years old and coincided with the Beatles anthology documentary on TV and their three anthology compilation albums. You can definitely hear the heavy Beatles influence here, which as a kid I absolutely loved. I felt like I had some kind of insider info because I recognized Imagine in Don’t Look Back In Anger 😂 Back then there wasn’t an unlimited supply of music to listen to. You either listened to the radio or whatever CDs you were able to buy or borrow. There were CDs I knew inside and out and this was one of them, along with The Cranberries, Green Day, and Enya 😂 Music was more of a commodity then. CDs were special and for kids hard to come by. All that being said, I definitely loved What’s The Story Morning Glory. It held a special place in the heart of the impressionable teen that I was and it is certainly nice to revisit every now and then. I wish I could listen to it again as a kid, because it doesn’t feel as special now. I guess nothing does. Anyway, four stars, mostly for nostalgia’s sake.

This album was ok. Nothing remarkable, but it wasn’t bad. I actually liked the covers he had on here. I think he did a decent job giving them his own special little twist. While his voice isn’t my favorite, it’s definitely charming in its own way.

Not bad. Usually I’m not a big fan of horrible voices, but this one works somehow. I enjoyed the album mostly. Things started getting a little monotonous after a while, but overall it was pretty decent and catchy.

I don’t like the Doors. I can understand why some people do, but Jim Morrison’s voice does NOT do it for me. I can’t stand how he wails in every song and his voice is just so theatrical it sounds forced and borders on corny. Anyway, I won’t say anymore about it, because I know people love the man, but nope, not for me 👎 I’ll give it two stars because I didn’t hate the album. I just wish someone else had sung it

What a great album!! This one has some of my favorite Bowie songs on it. Kooks, Life on Mars, Changes, and Oh! You Pretty Things. The chorus in that last one is so fun to sing 😃 Fill Your Heart was interesting…it reminded me of a song a cartoon villain would sing at the end of the movie after he saw the error in his evil ways and wanted to sing about his miraculous transformation over to the good side. Awesome 🤩

I love this album and I was aghast when I read some reviews that would try to lead you to believe that CSNY harmonies are corny. No. They are heavenly. Like the voices of the angels 😇 And while Neil Young’s voice isn’t my favorite, I think his influence added another layer of depth to their folk rock sound. Awesome album start to almost finish. The second to last song, Country Girl, was kind of lame 😕

This is the second Fairport Convention album for me and it just wasn’t as good as the other album, Unhalfbricking. Liege and Lief became monotonous after a while to the point of being annoying. Sandy Denny’s voice is amazing, but the songs just didn’t have the same pizzazz as Unhalfbricking. And as other reviewers said, I was so surprised to find out that Denny was the female vocals on Led Zeppelin’s Battle of Evermore. She definitely had an amazing set of pipes. I just wasn’t thrilled with this album, but perhaps with another listen I’d change my mind.

This was my second T Rex album on here and I feel similar to this one as I did to the last. I like the guy’s voice. I think it’s unique and has a cool sound. I feel that way about the songs too. They just have a cool sound to them 😎 Kind of like they were meant for a different time. But nothing really stood out to me on this album except for the well known “Bang a Gong.” Some of the songs were kind of boring. I think I like this one about the same as the other T Rex album. Can’t recall the name of it 🤔 I’m just not sure why BOTH albums need to be listened to before I die.

If I was in prison and this artist’s music was pumped through some speakers I’d slowly be driven mad and try to gnaw my own arm off so I could beat myself unconscious with it. There is nothing redeemable about this album. This is the second Primal Scream album I’ve gotten and neither has made any sense to me why they’re on this list. The vocals, the music. Awful!! I just don’t get it.

I think this album was a mixture of really good and horribly bad. When Eric Clapton tried to sing more bluesy songs he just ended up sounding milquetoast and soulless. Songs like Please Be With Me and Let It Grow however were fantastic. The guitar parts were absolutely beautiful. But oh my gosh, I Shot The Sheriff…I just can’t with that one. Horrible.

Very cool album. I like Donovan’s voice and this album was easy to listen to and had a sound that really agreed with me. It was nice and chill and a little bit weird. Great combo in my opinion 👍

I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this album or band. The only song I was familiar with, which I’m thinking is the case for a lot of people, is the title track. Overall the album was fine. Nothing spectacular. Besides his singing voice, a lot of the songs were kind of 60s bubblegumesque, which I liked. Flowers and Beads was my favorite.

I’d only heard one song by the Yardbirds, For Your Love. I like that song a lot, but it’s not on here. This album wasn’t bad. I liked the non-bluesy songs on it the most. I don’t really know what to make of this album, because it felt all over the place. I guess that could be good, to keep things interesting, but even with the mix of styles it still sounded fairly dull 🤷‍♀️

This album holds a lot of nostalgia for me. I haven’t heard it for probably twenty years, but it was still familiar and felt nice to revisit. However, I think that if I’d have heard it for the first time now, I’m not sure I would love it as much. Sometimes I think what makes a song or album so special is more who you listened to it with than the actual songs themselves. I feel like there were too many filler songs on here. But geez were there some winners. Who doesn’t like Comfortably Numb? Mother is another favorite of mine. But Roger Water’s voice grates on me soooo much when he’s screaming. I hate it. I much prefer David Gilmour’s voice which is lovely and perfect, as I’ve probably expressed in previous Pink Floyd reviews. The Wall is a creative album for sure, but it’s just so dang long and it was kind of sad to listen to it alone. It just didn’t feel right 😕 Also, the live version of this album is better. I wish Spotify had it.

I really don’t understand why this album had such a low overall rating. What do you want? It’s The Bee Gees. Barry sings with ridiculous vibrato, and the one guy usually sounds like he’s singing with his mouth full of marbles. Same as all their albums. I liked this. Pre-disco Bee Gees are the best. Aside from the length (it could have been a few songs shorter) there weren’t really ANY tracks I didn’t like. I mean that. The album wasn’t amazing, but it was decent and fun. Favorite song was “First of May.” Excellent.

’ve heard Five Leaves Left many times. I love it. Not sure if I like it or Pink Moon better, because they’re both fantastic. Nick Drake has a wonderfully mellow sound that is so relaxing. I was happy to see this album pop up as my next listen. He was such a talented guy. I wish there were more of his to listen to

I admit, I didn’t listen to the whole thing. It’s not that it was horrible, but it was just so incredibly meh that I didn’t see the point. One thing that WAS good about the album was that his voice made me picture him singing in this sad nightclub completely lacking in swank. He’s swinging the microphone by its cord and running his fingers through his greasy hair. His shirt is unbuttoned enough that you can see his taco meat sticking out the top. There’s a middle aged woman in the front row dabbing her neck and chest with a napkin.

Maybe I’m super late to the party, but the more I read about these guys the more I realize that so many of these artists from the 60s and 70s were all in bands with each other at one time or another and would go between being in a band, going solo, and then forming a new band with another guy who was in a band and then went solo. It’s pretty fascinating. Anyway, the album…I liked it. I really like Gene’s voice. Lyrics were good too. The album is relaxing and easy to listen to. Like many other reviewers said, his song “Strength of Strings” was awesome. I also really liked “Some Misunderstanding” and “Lady of the North” He was a talented guy.

More stupid British synth pop. And this one has to be the dummest album on the whole list. Not the worst, but definitely the dummest. And no amount of beeps, boops, and laser beam sounds could save it. Praise be that half the songs were unavailable on Spotify. Unless you have an emotional attachment to this album because you listened to it while losing your virginity or something equally impactful I don’t see how anyone with functioning ears could ever enjoy this. Garbage.

I’m not quite sure how to feel about this album. It loses a star automatically because it’s 43 songs long!!!! and over an hour. And while the songs were cool mostly, they just weren’t long enough to actually get into them. To me it felt like an album of samples of songs. Just little bits to get a feeling of how they sound. A few of them I really enjoyed and would have liked to have listened to them longer than a minute and thirty seconds. Cohesion, One Reporters Opinion, and Corona were good. Oh and let’s not forget The Roar of the Masses Could be Farts. There’s definitely something special about these fellas. I think 3 stars is fair.

I had to laugh out loud reading some of the reviews for this album. People had a problem with the lyrics to these songs? 😂 If you’re truly offended by the lyrics to Made to Love then I really REALLY hope you never listen to rap or hip hop, or country or pop music for that matter, never watch movies and never read any books from today if you found this so inexcusably offensive. Seriously I’m dead 😂 Anyway, I love a lot of music from the 60s and I especially like the simplicity of the early 60s. This album isn’t a showstopper but it’s good and it was an enjoyable listen from start to finish with nice harmonies. And honestly, I’d’ve gone on a date with the Everly Brothers. We’d talk on the phone and they’d tell me that I was the prettiest girl in school and I’d giggle and twirl the phone cord around my fingers.

This album is silly, but I didn’t hate it. I know myself well enough that I can freely admit that had I been a teenager in the 80s I would have had this cassette. It’s basically the 80s version of Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Hanson, One Direction. A teenage girl’s dream. I did feel a little guilty listening to it without my hair in a side pony with teased bangs. Finished off with spandex, leg warmers and an acid washed jean jacket. Like the album deserves.

Maybe it’s because this album seemed to match my mood today, but I really enjoyed this one. He’s got the type of voice that I tend to like. I don’t even know what to say about it really, except that I loved the way it sounds. I was only familiar with the song Cry to Me, but then song after song was a win. The very last song He’ll Have to Go was probably my favorite overall.

I loved the guitar!! Wish I could play like that. I like this guy’s voice way more than say, Bob Dylan. It reminded me of him and Jackson C Frank a bit. The album was nice to have on in the background, but none of the songs stood out as anything particularly special. I don’t think I’d listen again, but I had never heard of Bert Jansch and was happy to be introduced to one of his albums.

This album was fun enough. I like the lead singer’s voice. Favorite songs were Spinning Wheel and You’ve Made Me So Very Happy. Basically their songs that played on oldies radio that I listened to when I was a kid.

Note to self: don’t listen to Willie Nelson sing romantic covers while you’re snuggled up in bed lest you feel lonely and sad 👍 I was a bit skeptical of this one, because Willie doesn’t have the best voice in my opinion. I was worried he might ruin some of these songs that I really really love in their original form. But he didn’t. I liked this album a lot. He put his own charming spin on it and that really worked for me. Favorite songs were Stardust, All of Me, Unchained Melody, and September.

I do believe the British would use descriptors like “rubbish,” “third-rate” and perhaps “bollocks” 🤷‍♀️ to describe this horrific album which has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Just a bunch of unpleasant noise and I didn’t get through more than the first two songs before I threw in the towel.

I’m not really a fan of the saxophone. It reminds me of Michael Bolton’s voice. Nothing against Michael, and to be fair I guess I should say that Michael Bolton’s voice reminds me of a saxophone, which is why I’ve never cared for it. Now that that’s out of the way, I didn’t mind the sax in this album. I especially liked the very airy, fuzzy sounds that were made with it. This album was good and I enjoyed the whole thing. It was very chill and easy to listen to. Favorite songs were “The Girl from Ipanema” and “Para Machuchar Meu Coracao.”

Yet another completely unremarkable album that I can’t understand why it’s here. To me it’s like Lance Bass putting out an album and it making the list. Or maybe Robbie is the equivalent of Justin Timberlake 🤷‍♀️ I’m not British so maybe I’m not grasping the full scope of his genius. I do like his song Angels, and I can remember my British pen pals gushing over Take That back in the nineties. Their song Back for Good is the only song by them I know. The only other thing I’ll say is if he made this list that better mean that the Spice Girls did too. I’ll be waiting in anticipation for 2 Become 1.

This started out really good. I like this type of music in general and so I appreciated the style and sound. But…it really dropped off in terms of listenability as the album went on. The medium and faster songs were great, but the slower ones like Sylvia Plath and Wild Flowers were pretty insufferable. The second half of the album was just plain boring and it automatically loses a star for being far too long. My favorite songs on it were “Somehow, Someday” (I tend to love songs with this type of nostalgic theme), “New York, New York”, and “Firecracker.” Honorable mention goes to “When the Stars Go Blue.” I’ve heard other people sing it, but whenever I’d tried to listen to Ryan Adams’ version I could never get past the beginning without turning it off. I can’t stand the way he sings the beginning of the song. The rest of the song was great, but I feel like it was ruined by the weird stuff he did with his voice in the first few lines 😕 It was like he was singing but without putting any effort into it. Like he barely had enough energy to form the words and push out the sound 😅 Still, I’ll give it 3 stars, because overall it wasn’t bad and the songs I liked, I liked very much.

This album was weird!! And so cringy at times. One Night Stand was just…and Midnight Carousel….I felt embarrassed listening to this album alone in my car. I kept thinking, oh my gosh what if I get into an accident and this is the album that all the rescue workers hear as they pull my body out of the car. I’d deliriously try to explain my odd choice in music as I slip in and out of consciousness. I can’t give it a 1 though. It was so brave.

This was a good album. I hadn’t heard the song “Drive” in a long time and I was reminded of how much I like it. I found this album entertaining most of the way through. A couple boring songs, but maybe only because this was the first time I’d heard them. “Everybody Hurts” is a winner. So is the Sidewinder song and “Man on the Moon.” I can still listen to it even though I’ve heard it 100 times. “Find the River” was one I hadn’t heard before and really enjoyed. I was happy to get this album and I enjoyed listening to it.

This was the first Taylor Swift album I’ve listened to. I’m not a huge fan of her voice, but I did enjoy this album and I really liked some of the lyrics. Makes me want to check out Folklore. I like the mood of this album more than her other more upbeat stuff, although it’s a tad poppy for my taste. She may not be someone I care to listen to, but she absolutely deserves to be on this list, no matter what people may think of her. Way more than other stank artists that I’ve seen on here.

I know this review is going to be EXTREMELY unpopular, but I like this album 🙈 I owned it and I listened to it countless times. In my defense I was probably 18 or 19 when this came out and I was still pretty heavy into my teenage U2 phase 😁 Listening to it later, I can understand a bit why the ratings are lower for people. It’s definitely not at the same level as some of their other stuff and at times is a little corny. But…and my apologies for playing the nostalgia card, this album was ubiquitous around 9/11. Especially when their single “Walk On” came out. I’m soooo sentimental, and I’d never be able to separate my feelings for this album from the actual quality of its content. I don’t care. I’m going to give it a 4, because although it’s a bit hokey, especially by today’s standards, I have strong memories of listening to this album in my bedroom and feeling all my teenage girl feelings about what was going on in the country and the world. This album was very encouraging to me. I really like the songs “Walk On”, “Peace on Earth”, and “Kite.” Kite has more of their classic sound to it in my opinion. Good song.

I’d never heard of these guys before. They had a pretty decent sound and the covers don’t bother me. That was so common back then when the majority of bands didn’t write much of their own stuff. They put their own cool spin on the songs. The screaming got annoying, but I think I get what they were trying to do with their sound. I do like how it sounded fuzzy and unpolished at times. I don’t think I’ll listen to this album again, but I’m happy I heard it.
