4/5
I just wanna take this time to say Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope you all have a great day
Bonnie Raitt · 8 likes
3/5
Let's stop shitting on Bonnie Raitt and start respecting the fact that she had the guts to combine country with crappy 80s synthpop, and to do it all 20 years past her prime, too. Truly praiseworthy. I salute your terrible decision-making, Bonnie 🫡

Green Day
5/5
Bold and energetic fun
Muddy Waters
3/5
A strong opening track lulled into nine more songs that sound exactly like it. Good for blues fans and for the use of background music, but the songs sound rather stale to those without a passion for this genre. One individual track pulled out from the others would sound slightly impressive, but each song featuring the same exact standard blues chord progression is nothing creative.
Pulp
4/5
Most songs can be listened to, with a couple solid tracks, the most noteworthy being 'Disco 2000'. As a whole, the album is pretty solid and enjoyable to listen to, and it would work great for a soundtrack. Although an individual song on its own doesn't sound that great, they create a neat melodramatic vibe when played one after the other. Not great, but still good.
Beck
4/5
Starts off very strong with more electric tracks like 'Girl' and the opening 'E-Pro', only to fall into more boring and at times bad songs, such as the very annoying 'Farewell Ride'. These don't detract from the album too much, which is overall very decent, but it does cause the album to lose points, along with the mumbled singing and nonsense lyrics. Good for a listen, but nothing soul-moving.
The Band
2/5
Genuine old people music. Keeping an open mind, it's alright. Listening to my inner music taste, it's plain bad with a couple of tolerable songs. I definitely wouldn't be caught dead listening to it.
Spiritualized
4/5
If any of you are looking to have a spiritual experience, I might be able to help: just go into a dark room, take as many psychedelics as humanly possible, and listen to this album. You will crap your pants from being so mind-blowingly in awe.
Kate Bush
2/5
I kept telling myself it wasn't bad. No matter what bizarre, unorthodox, idiosyncratic choices she made, I just said to myself, "It's just a little weird, but nothing TOO unbearable."
And then. The God. Damn. Mule. Noises.
Yes, they really were that bad. Not that there was much of the album to ruin, anyways, but the mule sounds made me put my foot down and officially call this a bad album.
I guess there's a couple of songs that weren't so bad, but most of them were bad at best. Thank God this was just a misstep in a successful career.
Franz Ferdinand
5/5
Dang. Every song hits. Not many albums can do that but this one definitely did.
Rocket From The Crypt
2/5
At times like this I really wish it were possible to bring Roger Ebert back from the dead and have him review music because he would just hate half of these albums. It would truly be hilarious to read his reviews on this stuff.
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
3/5
Sounds like stuff straight out of a John Hughes movie. It could be good set to teenagers enjoying their youth. Listening to it as a boring human being trying to enjoy music, it sounds like typical cheesy 80s alternative. I guess it could be someone's thing because it's not horrible, but it's not my type.
The White Stripes
4/5
You can't go wrong with Napoleon Dynamite music
Beatles
3/5
At times I felt it would work perfectly for a sunny summer morning, sipping tea and feeling all of your problems melt away...
...and then at other times I wanted to jab something down my throat. How they ever got THAT famous is beyond me. They couldn't even write half their own songs on here. I will say, though: they knew when to put an album out of its misery.
LL Cool J
4/5
Buffalo Springfield
3/5
Like two different albums put together into one. Half of the songs ventured more into hard rock, with these being the better songs, and the other half was slow and dull. 'Mr. Soul' was worth the listen, with a couple of others being enjoyable. None of the songs were awful, though, which makes this album halfway decent.
Amy Winehouse
3/5
Made me feel like I was walking down rows of shops in England...
Nice feel to it, but her voice honestly took me out of it sometimes. It sounded a bit shaky and unable to find the right note. Lots of the songs weren't that impressive, either.
I will say this, though. 'Fuck Me Pumps' was hilarious.
Pentangle
1/5
Hippy shit. And like, not the good stuff, either...
Lana Del Rey
4/5
Decent songs but they're very slow and they sound very similar to each other. There's an almost comforting sense of melancholy with each one. However, the country theme is enforced a little too much and the lyrics felt random and discombobulated at times. If slow crooning is your thing, this is a good album. Otherwise, it's okay to listen to once.
The Temptations
3/5
That first song was so worth it. I don't know what happened after that...
Sister Sledge
4/5
why is this actually making me wanna disco dance
Bill Callahan
4/5
Beautiful and serene without any of the cheesiness of normal country music. No girls, beer, or tractors in sight.
The Associates
2/5
A 3 hour 10 minute long deluxe version of this album does exist for anyone who wants to hear it. This information is, of course, useless because no one who has heard the original will ever want to hear the deluxe.
Al Green
4/5
groovy ✌️
Rage Against The Machine
4/5
Lots of raw energy might take away from the quality of music. The songs themselves were pretty awesome, and the guitar especially was WICKED. But I can't get past the screaming vocals. Dude had a lot to say and I couldn't even understand it.
50 Cent
3/5
the most interesting part was a six second long soundclip of a coin flipping
Fred Neil
2/5
I think I forgot how to like music
The White Stripes
5/5
Sure it's a bit different, but it still sounds just like the White Stripes. Only one song I didn't really like, a whole bunch that I did, and an overall great sound. And 'Blue Orchid' rocks 🤟
Super Furry Animals
4/5
I don't know what people are talking about. It's nowhere near as bad as they're making it out to be.
Elvis Presley
4/5
Not a fan of his but this is some of his better stuff.
The Black Keys
3/5
Sounds like a bunch of generic indie songs made up for car commercials. And the fact that they named a song 'Never Gonna Give You Up' that didn't even have to do with Rick Astley is just slander. Not bad though.
Suzanne Vega
2/5
I haven't puked like that since I got food poisoning in '09
Air
4/5
Not particularly exciting, but still beautiful in its own way. 'Clouds Up' is the best of the album, and I can just imagine its haunting mood working wonderfully for the film. 'Dark Messages' and 'Empty House' also sent chills down my spine, and 'Ghost Song' perfectly reinforced the musical theme. One of the best songs was the almost psychedelic 'Dirty Trip', which actually put me on a trip. All of the tension which had been built up throughout the album was perfectly quelled with the closing song 'Suicide Underground', an acoustic track that ended the story with a melancholic tone.
John Coltrane
3/5
I guess it's kinda nice for background music, but jazz is just not my thing. It's not bad; it just is.
Meat Loaf
3/5
His name was Robert Paulson.
Stereolab
3/5
As boring as an album can get. Nothing uniquely good or bad, and I can't even remember how any of them sounded. It just... was.
4/5
Beautiful monstrosity. An abomination of all possible noises and sounds in the field of prog rock that comes together and produces one hell of a trip.
Adele
4/5
Better than your average pop, and if I wasn't forced to hear some of these songs on repeat for the past ten years, they would sound a lot better. Definitely more thoughtful than most other modern music.
Kings of Leon
4/5
The stuff guilty pleasures are made of, but if it's a pleasure, what's there to complain about?
The Avalanches
3/5
It's not hip hop... it's electro...
Eagles
3/5
I don't even know what to say... it had a unique 70s vibe that I couldn't hear from any other album, but it was such a drab aspect of 70s music. I think some of the songs were nice, and some of the others were really annoying, boring, and just plain dull. And 'Life in the Fast Lane' is one of the most annoying songs to have ever hit my eardrums. God how I want it to disappear off the face of the Earth.
Talking Heads
4/5
I know this isn't most people's thing, but I can get behind it. It's cooler than most of the albums I've had to put up with so far, and I actually enjoyed listening to it from beginning to end. There was only one hit from it, though, so it's not a classic, and it's DEFINITELY not the Talking Heads album I would have gone with. They have much better work, and calling this great would be taking away from their better albums.
Isaac Hayes
4/5
Chef sure knows how to sing
The Yardbirds
4/5
Roger is a darn good engineer
Oasis
5/5
There's no 'Maybe' about it - this is 'Definitely' a work of art that manages to calm, inspire, sadden, and liberate all in one. Every track is a testament to the 90s britpop music scene, yet they managed to transcend the average irritating tripe that was so commonly being created. Every song sets up an entire world so painfully familiar to us all, and being able to experience these worlds is truly comforting and healing.
Bauhaus
3/5
It's got a vibe to it. I don't know if it's a good vibe, but it's definitely a vibe.
Bob Dylan
2/5
Oh my God my chainsaw can finally sing
DJ Shadow
3/5
Maybe it's technically proficient and 'cool', but let's be completely honest: this gets boring after 15 minutes. It's not bad and it's not good. It just is.
5/5
They don't make em much better than this. It's infused with heart, soul, emotion, joy, sadness, pain, and most importantly, damn good music. The entire album is actually enjoyable, and it doesn't get boring for a second. It's beautiful, and it is truly a wonder that we get to experience a musical arrangement this powerful.
Cee Lo Green
3/5
A few good songs, albeit lame ones, and quite a few bad ones, which I never want to hear again. 'The One' and 'Childz Play' are actually two of the worst songs I have ever heard. It gets a bit better with 'All Day Love Affair' and 'When We Were Friends', but most of the other songs are incredibly bland. How this album got onto the list is beyond my imagination. It's mediocre Cee Lo Green with a mediocre album filled with mediocre songs. I will never get that 65 minutes of my life back. I literally had to listen to actual good music afterwards to forget what I had heard.
The Monks
4/5
Is it important in music history? No. Did it impact anyone? No. Is it still entertaining? Yes. Now, it's not prime entertainment, but it's still neat for a deep '60s dive. It's full of nonsense lyrics and random instruments, but it's decent enough.
3/5
Very generic rock. There wasn't really even anything memorable or standout. It's a decent album, I guess, but I can't really officially call it good. The songs were boring, with most being mediocre, a couple being good, and a couple being kind of bad. It's nothing I would choose to listen to when better music exists.
Korn
2/5
I'm starting to think that maybe whoever wrote this list just tricked thousands of people into listening to the worst albums of all time. I literally just listened to emotionally disturbed men singing about dick-sucking, butt-fucking, and Boy George. Korn actually hates any and all audiences that they may have.
Beastie Boys
5/5
I don't even like hip hop but I like this. Great production and a stylish use of samples combined with witty lyrics. Actually a must-hear.
Orbital
3/5
I actually don't understand what makes this such a low-rated album when all of the other electro albums I've encountered get decent reviews. It sound the same, just slightly different. It uses less sampling and has a more upbeat tone to it, which frankly, I prefer. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you this is decent music, but compared to other albums of its genre, it gets the job done.
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Not Jimi's best work, but still very enjoyable. There's a few very strong songs and a lot of mediocre songs with strong guitar-playing. It's a guitar rock album, so while there's not a whole lot of substance in the actual songwriting, it's fun to kick back and groove out.
Linkin Park
3/5
Almost every song sounded the same and used this weird combination of rap and rock that doesn't really work. After hearing one song, there's not really a reason to keep listening to generic Y2K whiny rock. Then again, 'In The End' hits hard.
Dr. John
1/5
What the fuck was that shit
R.E.M.
3/5
It this supposed to be cheesy? Because, if I'm being perfectly honest, this is just repetitive chord progressions and bizarre lyrics. It's a guilty pleasure album, but it's not even something that I take pleasure in.
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
The first half is very strong without any bad songs. 'Time After Time' and 'All Through the Night' in particular are amazing. Shoutout also to the iconic 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun', making this album loaded with the hits. The B-side, though, is less than impressive. Not a perfect album, but close.
Spiritualized
4/5
Another epic drug trip from The Spiritualized. I lost all sense of track and time and felt like I was a fictional druggie at the center of a movie staring into a mirror pondering my life choices. And I mean this in a good way. Don't take drugs. You just have to listen to this.
The Undertones

STOP MAKING YOUR VOICE VIBRATE
Big Brother & The Holding Company

Groovay... there's no other way I can put it ☮️
Kanye West
4/5
Damn you, you racist pig. Why do you have to make decent music?
Dinosaur Jr.

Like an undiscovered Nirvana album. Where was this my whole life?
Amy Winehouse
5/5
Great voice, great lyrics, great tunes. 'Nuff said.
808 State
2/5
Generic 80s background music that cannot possibly be enjoyed. If I knew someone that actually liked this, I would have to punch them in the face.
The Strokes
5/5
✨️fantastic✨️
Beatles
4/5
I felt high
Dolly Parton
3/5
I by no means am a country fan, so I can't say for sure whether or not this is good by country standards. Compared to other music in general, it's okay. Dolly definitely put her heart and soul into every one of these songs, and that's something that can't be said for many country artists. I guess what I'm saying is that she tried at the very least.
David Holmes
3/5
Very dull background music that isn't very cool or innovative. Every song sounds the exact same, which is a generic drum beat and some 'urban' New Yorker talking in the background. It's a very safe algorithm, and being safe, it's lame.
And this is totally unrelated but that album art is really cheap.
Butthole Surfers
1/5
This sounds identical to the motorcycle that is currently going off across the street
ZZ Top
3/5
Good for if you're a middle aged biker dude in a bar. So I guess kind of cool but kind of bland. 'La Grange' makes up for it. That is one kick-ass song.
Frank Sinatra
3/5
Ah, yes. 15 songs about love and dancing and music and love and holding hands and women and kissing and love and smiling and bliss and walks in the park and love and....
We get it. You like love.
And it's all sung to us with a very textbook-definition-of-singing voice.
But it is relaxing.
Steve Winwood
3/5
It's kinda lame but it's also kinda fun so there's that
Wait hold up I just got to side 2
Nevermind it's just lame
Bad Company
4/5
Lots of genuinely great rock tunes. There's a lame song here or there, but the hard stuff rocks.
Tracy Chapman
3/5
This is the type of album that I feel is more 'appreciated' than 'enjoyed'. I could be wrong, but I think the reason it is praised is because it is thoughtful, as opposed to being bland and mindless. Make no mistake: the lyrics and storytelling are beautiful. The problem lies in how the album actually sounds. If I were to hear the majority of these songs by themselves and out of context, I probably would not have to force myself to like them. I understand why the hype exists, but I don't think I want to be a part of it.
Slipknot
1/5
To call this bad music would be an insult to bad music.
Bonnie Raitt
3/5
Let's stop shitting on Bonnie Raitt and start respecting the fact that she had the guts to combine country with crappy 80s synthpop, and to do it all 20 years past her prime, too. Truly praiseworthy. I salute your terrible decision-making, Bonnie 🫡
Jack White
5/5
Rock on freaky bro 🤟
Coldcut
2/5
Please judge this album by its cover. It's not any better than it looks.
Jefferson Airplane
4/5
Oh man, I mellowed out so much. SO much. Some of the grooviest work of the 60s with not one but TWO iconic hits. The famous stuff rocks and quite a few of the deep cuts sound great too. However, a couple songs I could have cared less for, making this a solid 4.5.
Peter Gabriel
4/5
This is definitely an acquired taste, and it's the type of art that is harder to appreciate. It's possible that this sounds really bad and is actually bad music. However, I think the production actually sounds really good, in its own weird way, that is. It's not too weird for me, and the underlying artistry shines through. It's experimental music that should exist, in my opinion.
AC/DC
5/5
A rock classic, and it's a legend for a reason. 'Highway to Hell' alone would be enough, but the hits just kept coming. Great sound paired with great guitar, and it's nothing but enjoyable.
The Afghan Whigs
2/5
Good Lord what's singing this? A drunken vampire?
Gene Clark
2/5
Maybe when I'm old, decrepit, and have nothing better to do than sew quilts, I'll feel like listening to this. Until then, keep it the hell away from me.
Queen
4/5
I think we'll go with a little 'Bohemian Rhapsody', gentlemen.
Good call.
Magazine
2/5
The singer from the Buzzcocks left the band and somehow found a way to make even crappier music. There is no real sustenance or creativity in any of these songs, save maybe, MAYBE, for 'Recoil'. His voice is borderline unbearable, the guitar riffs are beyond generic, and the lyrics are incredibly bland. If annoying had a sound, it would sound like this. It's not even cool in the way crappy post-punk can sound. It's unintelligible meandering.
Aretha Franklin
5/5
They don't call her the Queen of Soul for nothing. Her voice is melodious and hits every right note. The songs are refreshing, with each one sounding different, yet still retaining her signature sound. There's nothing to complain about here.
Grizzly Bear
4/5
Melancholy in an album. And I love me some good melancholy.
Beastie Boys
5/5
oh my God that's the funky shit
The Teardrop Explodes
2/5
So much cheese and cow shit you'd think you were at a dairy farm in Southern Wisconsin
Lynyrd Skynyrd
4/5
4/5 would so massacre people in a church to this
The Stooges
3/5
Everything good and bad about punk rock. So basically it evens out.
The Rolling Stones
5/5
An album full of decent efforts in the format of deep cuts, with the most notable being 'Rocks Off', 'Rip This Joint', 'Tumbling Dice', and a few others that pretty much sound exactly like them. However, there isn't really a bad song on this entire album, and it's enjoyable all the way through. It's 18 songs of good vibes and nostalgia, and I don't know what's much better than that.
Kendrick Lamar
3/5
I think I might be too white to get it
The Kinks
4/5
Honestly, this is a very fine example of early British rock. There's nothing to solidify this with 'classic' status, but there's some very good guitar work and songwriting present.
Gorillaz
3/5
This would be a good listen if I was chilling with my very white friends in an underdeveloped basement while we were stoned one night in 2002. Outside of this oddly specific scenario, it's a very generic alt rock album. There's nothing interesting, and it's giving me no reason to want to listen to it again. There was absolutely nothing catchy about it, and ever song just sounded like a repeat in which a monotone voice said nonsense lyrics with a standard electronic drum beat and some hip hip thrown in. It's not music as much as it is noise. Yet it's branded as 'cool' so wallflower teenagers can claim to have better music taste than the rest of us.
John Lennon
4/5
Okay. I get that everyone hates John Lennon. So do I. He was a trash human. But that's no reason to give him a bad rating. These songs, while all sounding kind of the same, have really talented songwriting behind them. They're lame, but they're an improvement on Beatles lame. It's very meaningful music when you can get past the hypocrisy behind 'Imagine'.
Sigur Rós
3/5
Eh. I lost a lot of interest after 'Starálfur', which was really beautiful, but unfortunately, nothing else could keep the momentum going. I also liked 'Viðrar vel til loftárása' and 'Olsen olsen', but every other song pretty much had the same boring sound. And they were all really long, which contributed to my occasional loss of interest.
Marvin Gaye
4/5
Really strong start and really strong finish. A lot of stuff in the middle didn't really live up to the hype, though. Good songs sung with a great voice, but the album overall isn't what I'd call a great album.
Dexys Midnight Runners
3/5
THEY ALL SOUNDED THE SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEEE!!!!!!
Janet Jackson
2/5
I feel like poorly reviewing 80s music for being cheesy is kind of unfair, but that's not my problem.
Kraftwerk

ENOUGH WITH THE GODDAMN ELECTRONICA
Eagles
3/5
It's no worse than Hotel California
Radiohead

It's givin' me the Bends.

The Doors
4/5
A little too bluesy for me but it did leave me feeling high which is always a positive
Leonard Cohen
2/5
bruh no one warned me I was gonna need ear plugs
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
4/5
Honestly this is a really strong debut. It starts off pretty okay with 'Rockin' Around With You', gets really good with 'Breakdown', has a few ups and downs in between, and ends very strong with the fantastic 'American Girl'. It does have some '70s rock cheese, but that doesn't hinder the overall quality or experience of listening to it.
PJ Harvey
4/5
Mediocrity at its finest. It's almost excruciating how mediocre it is. Almost. There's something about it that's still a lot better than a ton of the shit I've had to listen to with this website.
This is actually a decent album and I was not expecting that. But I don't think he's sexy.
Stevie Wonder
5/5
Classic Stevie. He's got a hell of a voice and knows how to use it. I heard everything from groovy, relaxing, empowering, funky, and political in the course of an hour and forty five minutes. Of course, the headliners are 'Sir Duke' and 'Isn't She Lovely', but there's plenty of deeper dives here, including 'I Wish', 'Pastime Paradise', 'Another Star', and 'Ebony Eyes'. I guess the most important part is that it's good enough for Coolio.
The Cars
5/5
Wow finally an album where almost every song is famous. And in my opinion they're good, too. Really good. They all come together to create the PERFECT '70s vibe. Not overdone or too groovy. Just truly stuff people would have listened to back then. And there's a full album of it. OK maybe the two deep cuts weren't that great. But I was more than willing to put up with them for the 7 good ones.
Killing Joke
3/5
I'm beginning to think I can make an album and it will get put on this list.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
Dancin' around in their underwear. That is so degrading.
The Adverts
4/5
Probably the least annoying British punk rock album I've had to listen to. It falls short of bring an officially great album because just about every song sounds the same, and there's not a whole lot of substance, but they're decent musicians. They can actually play instruments really well and create musical harmony, which I realize sounds like a bare minimum for music, but most punk rockers don't even get this far. The average punk band is too concerned with rebellion that they don't even bother to make something that resembles music, but the Adverts are able to balance their rebellious spirit with actual music. It's fun to listen to, and it's not something I have to force myself to find positives with.
Os Mutantes
2/5
The good thing about this album project is that I get to discover music I didn't even know was my thing.
The bad thing about this album project is that I get to discover music I didn't ever want to know was a thing.
Jorge Ben Jor
4/5
Pretty groovy stuff. The tunes are fun, the instruments are funky, the sound is very rich. It's exactly what you'd want out of a Brazilian funk album.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
This album is uplifted by the phenomenal 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Street Fighting Man', which are both some of the finest work by the Stones. There's a lot of excitement within these two songs, but the others kind of all sound similar and are a tad boring. They're all good, no doubt. It's just that the momentum doesn't continue.
The Jesus And Mary Chain
3/5
I would have so hired them to play at my school's dance in 1987.
Unfortunately for The Jesus and Mary Chain, I am no longer judging music by 1987 school dance standards.
1/5
"The horror... the horror!!!!"
Thelonious Monk
3/5
Pretty good for jazz is still just okay for regular music. It all sounds the same about two songs in, and it gets pretty boring. Maybe I'm just traumatized from having two jazz albums in a row and fearing a third.
Van Halen
5/5
Whoa. There's so many classics on one album. It's such a fun time playing the whole thing out and it should have even been longer. There's only one real way to describe it: it rocks.
Guns N' Roses
5/5
this album is so good it made me sing Sweet Child o Mine with my family while I was driving and I almost crashed into an oncoming car because I had to tell my wife she was flat
Joni Mitchell
2/5
This was the rare combination of both boring and cheesy. Boring music can still be good, and cheesy music can still be fun, but boring AND cheesy is neither good NOR fun. So basically I want those 37 minutes back.
Television
3/5
God, this was so generic. The singer's voice was super weird, and I couldn't even understand what he was singing. Supposedly it was something super witty, but the random mumbling that I heard was nonsensical. The songs were kind of bland and definitely not innovative or creative. 'Marquee Moon' is apparently the highlight, but I don't get what so many people like about 10 minutes of annoying meandering.
Black Sabbath
5/5
To everyone who's not impressed with this album, I want YOU to try playing guitar this good when the tips of your fingers are missing.
The Byrds
4/5
I think it's good but maybe it's just my inner old person coming out
David Bowie
5/5
'Changes', 'Life on Mars', 'Queen Bitch'... must I say more on what makes this an awesome album?
Napalm Death
1/5
What scares me is that there are supposedly three albums in this generator worse than this one.
Alice In Chains
4/5
Do I need to listen to this before I die? No. Is it groundbreaking and monumental? Is it even that iconic? Not really. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. There's not a bad song on here, and 'Rooster' takes it to decent quality. Put simply, it's a good listen.
Beach House
4/5
Better than your average indie rock, with a couple of songs that fall flat. Overall it's a neat listen that reminds you of being a teenager, and the songs have the drama of a movie soundtrack. Not too shabby.
Metallica
4/5
A metal head's paradise. To anyone else it's a decent listen with one awesome song and a bunch that sound a lot like it. Regardless you gotta love the energy.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
You can tell he thinks he sounds amazing.
Black Sabbath
5/5
Back when Ozzy was on just enough drugs for the music to sound good
Fiona Apple
4/5
Fiona Apple establishes herself as a clear talent with this one. The music is very technically proficient and really showcases her strong songwriting, and her voice elevates her smart lyrics. 'Criminal' is a masterpiece and actually greatly improves the quality of this album. None of the songs disappoint, but they can sound the same after awhile, leaving the listener a little bored. Still, a great achievement in music.
The Psychedelic Furs
3/5
This one is hard to judge because it sounds good with certain moods and at certain times of your life. If you're not a melancholy teenager, then this probably isn't good.
The Sugarcubes
2/5
Björk sings about her mum's tits. Take what you want out of that.
Lame and bad for U2 but not bad.
The War On Drugs
4/5
I guess it's good but it's kind of boring. Like I wouldn't listen to this on my own. I'm not gonna complain about listening to it at all. Just a tad long and generic.
The Cardigans
4/5
Saved by the 90s vibes and nostalgia and devoid of much other musically creative qualities. It's fun to listen to until you're forced to sit through a really crappy cover of 'Iron Man'. Just slander.
Billy Joel
4/5
We strictly play 80s Joel.
Songhoy Blues
3/5
Better than you'd expect
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
2/5
Normally when I have my headphones on people ask me what I'm listening to. Thank God that didn't happen today because that would have been a bloody nightmare trying to explain.
Girls Against Boys
2/5
I think that went in one ear and out the other. Thank God.
Blondie
4/5
Two really good songs, a few good deep cuts, a couple I could have cared less for, and the rest was relatively okay. So better than like 85% of what this list has to offer.
Herbie Hancock
3/5
Boooooooorrrriiiiiinnnggggggggggggg
Pavement
4/5
It sounds cool it's just that there's not a whole lot of substance here. Very raw.
Solomon Burke
4/5
The voice is so emotional and moving, the songs have that sweet soul sound...
It's a shame this guy didn't get more attention because he deserved it.
The Cure
5/5
so beautiful 🥹
Kraftwerk

Significantly better than Autobahn
Elton John

My only regret is that I didn't listen to this on Saturday night
Silver Jews

this is the scariest part of my Halloween by far
Beastie Boys
5/5
i think they've been to white castle more times than Harold and Kumar
Joanna Newsom
3/5
I'll give it one star for the cover art and one star for the bloke on YouTube who said this saved him from committing suicide. It already had a star to begin with but that isn't much.
The Chemical Brothers
4/5
OH MY GOD I DID IT I WENT BACK IN TIME TO THE 90S
Beatles
3/5
This is one of the greatest albums ever?? It's okay, but it's nothing to rave about. It doesn't display much depth or variance, and I didn't hear anything above average, save for 'In My Life'. Everything else sounded like a repeat of the other, which is typical Beatles soft rock song. I liked the sadder sounding songs, but I think there were maybe 2 of them, and I only liked them for being different. I feel like the Beatles had much better works of art.
The Lemonheads
3/5
Every song sounds exactly the same. The template works, but it's just annoying to hear the same song for 35 minutes. If anything saves this album, it's the 90s nostalgia.
Machito
4/5
why is this actually so fun
Tom Waits
1/5
Ok I'm sorry. I'm sorry to every halfway decent musician I called bad. I'm sorry for saying the Beatles should have been chased out of England. I'm sorry for saying Suzanne Vega made me want to throw up. I'm sorry for saying Kendrick Lamar sounded like disorganized trash. To everyone else I'm not including, I am so sorry I didn't recognize the small bit of talent you have. Tom Waits has made me realize that there are some musicians without talent, and you're not one of them. My apologies once again.
Willie Nelson
2/5
I wanna yank those redhead pigtails right off his stupid scalp
Robert Wyatt
2/5
This might have undone any progress British people ever made in the field of music
John Prine
3/5
I, too, stare down my oatmeal and lose to it every morning.
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
Almost every song is a pleasantly groovy experience. There might not be anything iconic on here, but it's still that amazing Jimi sound. I was put on a great trip that was tragically cut short after 38 minutes.
Le Tigre
4/5
Honestly this was fun. 90s punk girls getting their rage out. It's a fun mood to be in.
Willie Nelson
3/5
It's really relaxing, albeit a bit boring, but still a chill listen.
SZA
3/5
girl why you gotta bring Drew Barrymore into this 😭
Supertramp
3/5
Anyone else feel weirded out by this? It's just such a weird mix of nostalgia and melancholy and maybe even some drugs. Typically the 70s are always a groovy time but it just seems kind of too mellow here.
Otis Redding
4/5
Holy crap what a voice. I mean this has to be one of the most powerful voices in soul that I've ever heard.
But you can't get away with making a cover album.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
"Now, boys... the network has a problem with some of your lyrics. Would you mind changing 'em for the show?"
"Forget you, clown."
"Hey, our lyrics are like our children, man. No way."
"Well, okay. But here, where you say, 'What I got, you gotta get and put it in you,' how about just, "What I'd like is I'd like to hug and kiss you'?"
"Wow! That's much better. Everyone can enjoy that."
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Out of my way, nerdlinger.
3/5
bland
Common
3/5
Jesus this thing is trying as hard as it can to make me quit
Fleet Foxes
4/5
A beautiful, almost medieval love story immersed in a woodland atmosphere. 'Sun It Rises' may not have been a strong beginning, but 'White Winter Hymnal' and 'Ragged Wood' carried the album, and 'Your Protector' was a particularly strong point. It was a little uninspiring, but overall, it was a very pleasant listen.
Dire Straits
3/5
This is way more cheesy 80s jazz than I signed up for. I mean there was a complete night and day difference between the first three songs and everything else. At first I was like, "I can dig this," but the second that godforsaken fourth song started playing I was wondering what I was doing with my life. The fifth and sixth songs were even worse. It got a little better by the time 'Brothers in Arms' came around. 45 minutes later.
Genesis
4/5
People keep saying that this album is weird but that's not the problem. I think BORING is a better word for it.
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
I think there was one song I genuinely liked and everything else was not my thing. I can't give it one star because it had a good song, but if it wasn't for that song(which, I can't even identify because they're all indistinguishable), it might be a 1. The only thing that's 'bloody' about it is annoying.
Foo Fighters
5/5
fingernails are good
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
Generic electronic, which is a shame for the Chemical Brothers, who usually create a perfect sampling of 90s electronica. Here, however, we have uncreative and bland tripe. The only good song was probably only good because it had Noel Gallagher.
Sheryl Crow
3/5
It walks some fine line between average and annoying
Cypress Hill
4/5
i wonder if they know insane in the brain
The Who
3/5
I kept waiting for the song where Tommy kills Uncle Ernie
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
2/5
He thinks he's so cool and the worst part is he has literally no reason to believe this
Christine and the Queens
4/5
If listening to this is gay then I'm the biggest queer on earth 🏳️🌈✨️
Rush
4/5
This is one of those albums that runs off of vibes and not quality. The songs themselves are not good. I can't count the amount of times I've heard 'Tom Sawyer' and wanted to claw someone's eyes out. 'Limelight' is so bland it can only be Rush. But when I listen to an album that's just meant to make me feel like a teenage 70s burnout, it all suddenly sounds good together. The good vibes just kept on coming.
Pink Floyd
4/5
Weirdly enough I think it's cool but I don't really like that many songs on here. The ones I do like are admittedly a little boring. 'Breathe' is a vibe but it's not that moving of a song. 'Time' has great lyrics but outside of that, it's not my cup of tea. 'Great Gig in the Sky' is not at all a great song on its own, and it kind of ruins the flow. 'Brain Damage' was weirdly relatable, which I find to be both funny and concerning. The transitions from one song to another were fantastic, and I feel that is what makes this album truly a must-hear.
Steely Dan
4/5
This sounds like something The Dude would abide by. Now, just because it makes me feel like a cool stoner doesn't mean it's that good of an album. After all, 'Realing in the Years' is one of the single worst classic rock songs that actually got famous. However, if it's still fun to listen to, I don't see the issue.
John Lennon
3/5
The influence of this album cannot be overstated. The song titled 'God' received a shout-out from the title character of the 1986 film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
Jeff Buckley
5/5
Oh, God, what a voice...
It's hard to find such soulful and powerful music from artists this young. I was truly in awe of the sheer beauty of half of these songs, such as 'Mojo Pin', 'Last Goodbye', and 'Lover, You Should've Come Over'. Of course, the defining act of this album is his rendition of 'Hallelujah', which could easily bring a tear to anyone's eyes. It's a shame we lost him so young.
Deerhunter
3/5
I think albums like this might be why people hate shoegaze. Nothing here was particularly good or memorable, and I honestly think I forgot every one of these songs. I could put up with it, but my mind was definitely wandering for the full 45 minutes.
SAULT
3/5
Okay not my thing but at least I could stand it. The production was kind of fun and nothing really irritated me.
Van Halen
5/5
Hot for Teacher is a great fucking song and every one of you here knows it
John Grant
4/5
This was actually pretty funny. It's rare to find a sense of humor in music like this, so I really appreciate it when someone is able to blend good tunes with witty lyrics. Poetry like no other.
B.B. King
4/5
Excellent voice. You can tell from the audience's reactions that he had a magical presence on stage. The King of the Blues prevails.
Pavement
4/5
Honestly this delivers. It never tries to be anything more than it is, and it provides a decent amount of entertainment value. I like the raw sound, which in its own way is a little innovative and unique from the mainstream music at the time.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
When I die im donating my eyes to Stevie Wonder 🙏
Count Basie & His Orchestra
4/5
I can see how this guy got to make music for Frank Sinatra. I've always been a firm believer all my life that jazz sucks, but this album might be convincing me that I'm wrong. Shit. I hate it when I'm wrong.
American Music Club
3/5
I'll give this a better rating when I can figure out what the fuck is happening on the cover
Steely Dan
3/5
I shoulda known this was going downhill when the first song was about a cow
The Beta Band
3/5
Imagine the disappointment on my face when I learned this had no relation to the Top Gun spoof sequel with Charlie Sheen
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
The concept is pretty cool but his voice is honestly kind of annoying. The lyrics are very surrealist and set up a whimsical adventure, but the resulting sound does not really please my ears.
Erykah Badu
3/5
Every song got continually more boring. Like why keep going for an hour we get it.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Respect the classics, man.
The Magnetic Fields
2/5
You'd think an album revolved around a sex position would be better
Coldplay
5/5
So much beauty in one album. Our introduction to Coldplay, 'Don't Panic', is a very strong start for their career, and 'Shiver' takes it one step further. 'Spies' lost me a little, but my interest was piqued with 'Sparks', one of the saddest and most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I honestly felt like crying listening to it. 'Yellow' is, of course, Coldplay's crowning achievement in their career, and it elevates this album to another level. From there, the songs started to blend together and sound the same, but the first half was so strong that it's redeeming.
Radiohead
4/5
I was a little hesitant when I saw yet ANOTHER radiohead album but then I heard it and I was like nahhhhhhhhhh these guys can stay
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
3/5
I could have watched Tombstone in the time it took me to listen to this
Various Artists

I just wanna take this time to say Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope you all have a great day
Burning Spear

It worked for stereotypical reggae background music

That voice is too deep for me and I actually thought I was listening to a creepy murderer when that first song started
Bee Gees

New Order
4/5
'Round and Round' was good. That's about all I can say.
Bob Dylan
4/5
Y'all don't watch the Bob Dylan movie
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
I can't believe the last thing I did this year was listen to Elvis fucking Costello
Lorde
3/5
Lorde crosses the bridge from exploring different themes to making every song off the album about relationships. The result is a very generic modern pop album that sounds like everything else I've heard on modern pop radio, which is a step back from her previous work. I'll admit, I had hopes when 'Green Light' was the opening track, but 'Sober' and 'Homemade Dynamite' made me lose admiration real quickly. The second half exhibited some decent songwriting, but it suffered, as did the first half, from poor and generic producing. I swear I've heard that exact same pattern of electronic drum beats followed by no drums in everything else that's popular right now.
Metallica
3/5
A little fun, a little boring, a little repetitive, a little long.
Electric Light Orchestra
5/5
MR. BLUE SKY!!!!!
The Only Ones
2/5
I've heard better music come out of my asshole
Serge Gainsbourg
2/5
fuck the pedophiles
Sade
1/5
I have no clue what y'all are smoking because this album is absolute shit. It's just about everything wrong with '80s music. It's lame, it's not deep at all, and the only reason people kept listening to it was because it was on the radio. I can't even describe it, but there is something completely wrong with the sound. It's bad and so so so so so cheesy.
Skunk Anansie
4/5
Maybe it's just because my expectations were set really low, but I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. It's not great by any sense of the word, but there's some really good metal energy. Good for a metal deep dive.
The 13th Floor Elevators
4/5
Shit that was grooooooooovvvvvvaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
Weather Report

bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad

Standard blues. Kind of good and kind of repetitive. You get what you sign up for when you choose to listen to a live 50s blues album.
Blood, Sweat & Tears
2/5
'You've Made Me So Very Happy' was kind of good, but that's about it.
Minutemen

This is for the Jackass theme song
R.E.M.

More cheesy REM
Gene Clark
2/5
For the love of God stop giving me Gene Clark albums
Gillian Welch
3/5
Do these country albums start to sound the same to anyone else?
Brian Eno
4/5
This was weird but solid. I could have done without 'The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch', but most of the rest was pretty different than what I normally hear from experimental artists, and in a good way. There was a lot of variation between the songs, which held my interest, and I would not mind listening to this again.
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
Judging by their pupils they do indeed appear to be on pot
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
You don't really know this album until you're depressed and listening to it in a dark closet smoking a cigarette
Steely Dan

Way to go for dissing East St. Louis
Jethro Tull

Someone called this wannabe Black Sabbath and now that's all I can hear which honestly makes the listening experience less enjoyable
Leonard Cohen

Big Star

I kinda like it but then again I'm lame so don't listen to me 🤔
Fairport Convention
2/5
Like for real how many folk albums do we need they're not even good
Charles Mingus
3/5
There were definitely a lot of ummm... choices... that were made
Brian Eno
2/5
This is like sad meditation music. It's meant to be listened to while thinking, but then I'm focused most on everything OTHER THAN the music. It's not even music to get you lost in your own mind. It's more like 'I need something to listen to while studying'. Doesn't even apply to me anymore.
Underworld
4/5
I don't know what y'all are talking about because this album slaps. From the opening track and especially in 'Pearl's Girl' I was lovin the 90s club vibes. It wasn't just generic techno club music. It was actual creative Electronica. And one version of this album even has 'Born Slippy', which kinda makes up for everything.
The Notorious B.I.G.
4/5
All of the sex noises were only slightly disturbing
Louis Prima
4/5
This dude was just loads of fun
Soft Cell
2/5
Holy crap he just could not hit the right note. The sex lyrics are super cringy, the keyboard is overkill, and this adds nothing to the world of music whatsoever. And don't try arguing that it has some value because it spawned an iconic song. The rest of the album definitely DOES NOT make up for it.
Venom
2/5
Yeah I heard these guys play back in '87. Except they were my teenage neighbors playing in a garage wearing cheap leather jackets and chains and playing everything off key and off beat. And they had a pentangle painted on the floor.
Common
3/5
Not even the best Common album I've heard. Y'all are acting like it's some great achievement of his when it's really quite mediocre.
Marty Robbins
2/5
Who knew Marty Robbins wrote the original Hanging Tree song
Slade
4/5
Honestly it's good for mindless generic rock
OutKast
4/5
Hip hop so good even white people can bop to it
Christina Aguilera
3/5
Ok but what was with that track with all of the fake reviews praising her for being perfect
Nick Drake
2/5
Kinda hard not to giggle during a song called 'Fruit Tree'
The Who
4/5
Excellent example from the British Invasion
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
Okay I may be weird but I was kinda into this
New Order
4/5
'The Perfect Kiss' is the perfect song, quite honestly, and 'Elegia' is so mystifying it's brilliant. Apart from another song I mildly enjoyed, lots of it was cheesy, I'll admit. But the sheer talent that went into those few songs is praiseworthy.
Barry Adamson
3/5
Really really weird and the auditory equivalent of Dada art. It was interesting enough to keep me from calling it bad.
Neil Young
3/5
Same old boring folk music that this website has to offer, except this time, the singer has a squeaky voice and lyrics that he forces to be meaningful.
Tricky
3/5
At first I was listening to this and thought it sounded pretty decent, but then as it kept going it just sounded kinda bad. Kinda. It wasn't flat out bad but it definitely was not a positive rating.
Fairport Convention
3/5
I think I finally figured out why I can't get into this band. Their music reminds me of my mother.
Germs
2/5
It's kinda fun but sometimes 'fun' just doesn't cut it
Björk
2/5
Something about all of these songs sounded like random noise put together. Her voice is pretty cool, but nothing else about it is really listen-worthy. It's pop without the catchy tunes and experimental without the bravery. But I did like 'The Anchor Song'. That was really pretty.
Kate Bush
3/5
This is a step up for Kate Bush. He previous efforts were poor at best, but what she's doing here is actually not terrible. I wouldn't just sit and listen to it, and it still does have a bit of that cheesy 80s quality to it. However, the experimentation is toned down quite a bit, and it doesn't sound as bizarre. It sounds more harmonious, and this is, therefore, not bad music 👍
Pink Floyd
4/5
The psychedelic factor definitely takes it up a notch. I was staring at my ceiling and wondering why the walls looked so funny. THAT is why I listen to music.
5/5
A very comprehensive compilation of what makes 90s rock so great. The harmonies are moving, the instrumentation is technical, and the emotions are real. There are too many great songs on this album to count. From the opening track, the listener is hooked and wants the fun and marvel to last forever. All of the songs deliver, with some taking you to ecstasy, and others leaving you in a dream state. The true triumph of this album, though, is 'Don't Look Back in Anger', which may be one of the best songs to capture the feeling of pure euphoria. Not a single bad track is to be found in Morning Glory, and it has secured its legendary status for a reason.
Deee-Lite
3/5
Ah, I remember the time when, as a fourteen-year-old child, I learned about "Groove is in the Heart", and being an idiot, I looked up the music video. Mortified, I watched as three grown-ass adults danced in front of a cheap green screen. Definitely impacted my life as a music connoisseur.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
3/5
Yes it's on the list but why
Not that it's bad though
Because it's not...
Okay it was kind of good

Being forced to listen to the most famous song about Mondays ON a Monday was both awesome and horrifically cruel
The Verve

I'm just amazed that one of these guys managed to look like all 4 Beatles at the same time
Johnny Cash
3/5
It's good but I have a public service announcement to issue. 'Hurt' will always be Trent Reznor's song. The thousands and thousands of people who say otherwise are very, very wrong. You can't hear the pain with Johnny Cash. You can't hear the heartbreak with Johnny Cash. You don't hear the personal autobiography of a tortured soul with Johnny Cash. You don't hear the deep, dark place that this song came from with Johnny Cash.
k.d. lang

Arcade Fire

Really caught my attention with 'The Suburbs' and 'Ready to Start'. Lost some steam after that but still a blast.
The Byrds
3/5
like kinda cool I guess???? idk it was a little fun but also very reminiscent of everything else that was coming out at the time in that field. i guess it's just your standard byrds album
Dennis Wilson
3/5
I think it was maybe more interesting at the beginning and then the quality slowly dropped off. I couldn't tell if it was 70s cool or 70s lame. It was like the Beach Boys without being catchy.
Jurassic 5
4/5
Okay this was actually groovy as shit. Admittedly I've never heard of these guys, but they have their own charm. I can dig it ✌️
Method Man
2/5
Hip hop is known to be an impressive display of sound production when done correctly. If the only hip hop you had ever heard was this album, you never would have known. On top of that, this dude's voice is TERRIBLE, and that says a lot considering hip hop is not known for its singing talent.
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
More non-Americans thinking they're cool and edgy for making fun of America and thinking they can solve all of our problems by criticizing us. As for the music I couldn't tell whether it was good or just repetitive. Maybe it would have helped if I could have heard anything that he was saying.
Brian Eno

The Cure
4/5
A lot of really good deep cuts here. There aren't any hits but the rest sounds pretty alright. Weirdly enough I think the worst song is the only one released as a single. Everything else is a perfect mix of haunting and depressing.
Anita Baker
3/5
A lot like off-brand Sade. It sounds so authentically 80s that it actually serves as a time machine.
And it is also quite annoying.
ZZ Top
4/5
It's pretty cheesy but it's also incredibly easy to rock to. So many classic hits and more deep cuts, which are hit or miss, but albeit fun. So much guitar and great tunes, does it even matter how 'technically' good it is?
Dr. Dre
3/5
Yay I won the 20 dollar sack :)
Depeche Mode
5/5
So dark, so thrilling, so captivating...
A perfect catalogue of not only Depeche Mode's hits but also their deep tracks. The themes are incredible and create a chilling atmosphere: lust, greed, anger. Not to mention the enthralling production and arrangement. It's very easy to get Iost in the great mystery that is this album.
Lupe Fiasco
4/5
A food and liquor I didn't mind visiting
Sex Pistols
5/5
Punk rock that legitimately sounds good and talented is rare, but that's what you get when you listen to this. Sure, they scream a little, but there's so much more to it. It resembles real music, it IS real music, which seems to be impossible for most punk rockers. The guitar especially is killer. Lots of fun with this one 👍
Frank Sinatra
3/5
Oh. My. GOD. This was boring. Every single song had the literal same exact message, same exact tempo, and same exact tune. And it went on FOR FIFTY MINUTES. He did not know when to let something go. I would say I'm glad he got dumped, but then again, THIS is what we got out of it. One song is okay, JUST okay, but any longer than that, and I'm dead.
The Fall
3/5
This sounds like it cost nothing to make
Joan Armatrading

Discount store Tracy Chapman. What's not to feel neutral about?
Duke Ellington

Yall I found a shortcut just listen to the 40 minute version 😜
Michael Jackson

Listen to the words of the pedophile: change your ways 👍
The Isley Brothers
4/5
Bonus points for that stellar orange hat
MGMT
5/5
I can't think of a better way to describe being a teenager. I got all the memories and fantasies again from hearing this. All the friends, late nights, parties, running around, highs and lows. For 40 minutes, I got all of that back.
The Doors
4/5
Full of all the good 60s feels, and it was a great way to feel like I was on drugs for forty minutes. It honestly kinda felt like psychedelic time travel. It's not like all of the songs are of very good quality, though, and some of them run more off of vibes than anything. Interesting for sure, but far from perfect.
Tim Buckley
2/5
How the hell did this guy share 50% DNA with Jeff Buckley??? The difference in talent level actually fascinates me.
Jane Weaver
3/5
Jane Weaver? I love that song!- oh, wait, it's some random singer I've never heard of. And she mumbles and adds in some weird electronica. And it's kinda cool but kinda really weird too.
Cream
3/5
Some songs are really good, like 'Sunshine of Your Love', and some are still very enjoyable, like 'Strange Brew', 'Tales of Brave Ulysses', and even 'SWLABR'. Quite a few songs, though, fall very flat and are too psychedelic for any of us normal people to enjoy. I don't want to have to be on drugs to enjoy drug music. And what an awful way to close out an album. 'Mother's Lament'? What the hell was that??
Tortoise
2/5
I can confirm that this is music and it does exist.
Tim Buckley

"I'm Horny: The Album"
Sam Cooke

The singing was incredible, and the songs had a great atmosphere. The energy from the crowd made it even better. Very enjoyable.

Why do all these French singers sound like they'd be pedophiles

I lost any and all manhood after that
Sepultura

2nd one star album in a row and I can't wait for the 3rd 👍
Green Day

I love that there's finally an album named after me
The Pretty Things
4/5
These guys don't look very pretty to me
Run-D.M.C.
3/5
'Rock Box' and 'It's Like That' are good, but everything else sounds so cheap. It's hilarious to read that this was considered to be groundbreaking back in 1984. I'm shocked. This is incredibly generic hip hop. The beats are cheap. The lyrics sound like they took 10 seconds to write. These guys got good eventually, but you wouldn't be able to tell from this.
Pixies
4/5
Definitely a lot more coherent than their first album and easier to enjoy. Although this one doesn't have any of those must-hear songs.
David Bowie
4/5
Who the fuck designed this cover
Isaac Hayes

Eminem is a grandfather now.
We have all been alive too long.
Guided By Voices

Everyone's too hard on these guys but they've actually got a really good vibe going
The Young Rascals

Ok sure it's groovin
Michael Jackson
5/5
I've said it before and I'll say it again: fuck the pedophiles.
Also this is kind of an awesome album.
But still fuck the pedophiles.
Ryan Adams
3/5
It's not so bad for knockoff Bruce Springsteen
Drive-By Truckers
2/5
Lynyrd Skynyrd = good
George Wallace = bad
Don McLean
3/5
I felt like I was listening to two different albums, with the first one being a really fun 7 minute long adventure, and the second one being a 30 minute long stretched out piece of boredom. Every star that I am giving this is because of 'American Pie'.
Air
3/5
I think there was a moment where I felt like I was having an out of body experience but for the most part this was remarkably unremarkable. Something about it needed better production. It was too many sounds and not enough music.
Youssou N'Dour
3/5
This guy was kind of fun. For like two minutes. It got real boring after that.
Turbonegro
4/5
Honestly I've heard much worse
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Side A is great. Side B sadly doesn't live up. It's still good, I guess. It's just a little uninteresting. 'Immigrant Song' might be the coolest song on the face of the planet, though.
Haircut 100
3/5
You mean to tell me there were 99 haircuts before this
Deep Purple
4/5
Kinda fun to drive to ngl
The The
2/5
What a weird way to trash on a country that they're not even from. On top of it all, they sound so bad doing. Like, it's SO bad.
R.E.M.
4/5
A strong collection from Rapid Eye Movement that showcases some of their most well known stuff and generates a few deep cuts as well
GZA
3/5
Sounds like crappy boring mediocre hip hop to me
Jane's Addiction
5/5
poor Jane I wonder what she was addicted to :(
OutKast
4/5
It's good I suppose... it needs improvement though. Obviously 'Ms. Jackson' and 'B.O.B' are really, REALLY, good, but then there's some songs like 'We Luv Deez Hoez' that just don't hit the mark. It's hard not to love Outkast, but this still does have a few too many flaws.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Since when were the Rolling Stones abducted by aliens and replaced by a funky mellow blues band
Elvis Presley
3/5
More boring Elvis. *sarcastic yay*
Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Michael Kiwanuka
4/5
So much talent and I can't believe ive never even heard of the guy
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
4/5
Sure, it's old dad music, but that's not gonna stop me from enjoying the cheesy sounds of 70s crap rock that's supposedly super influential. I mean, 'Our House' and 'Carry On'? Fun stuff, man.
Arcade Fire
5/5
So much beauty contained within 45 minutes. The songs are actually entrancing and mesmerizing, with the 'Neighborhood's and 'Rebellion' being quite phenomenal. I wouldn't call it a completely perfect album, as a little steam was lost in the second half, but the highs are so high that this deserves one of the greatest honors.
Kate Bush
4/5
I have been saved from Vecna 🙏
Brian Eno
3/5
Next time I get a Brian Eno album I'm murdering somebody.
That being said it wasn't half bad.
Hugh Masekela
3/5
I've said it before and I'll say it again: how many goddamn jazz albums am I gonna have to sit through
The Divine Comedy
2/5
It wasn't entirely useless because I was laughing at how bad it was
Marvin Gaye
3/5
This album got me to strip down to my underwear. I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Do what you want with it.
MC Solaar
3/5
I have a feeling that if I understood French, it wouldn't sound as good. However, I have no clue what any of it meant, and all I knew was that a foreign language sounded cool with the hip hop beats. It had some swagger to it and gave my Saturday afternoon a cool mood.
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
4/5
Standard blues rock. Which I can dig.
Alanis Morissette
5/5
Ah, Alanis Moriessette: teaching people the wrong definition of 'ironic' for 30 years now.
John Martyn
1/5
Bury this album deep in a hole and never listen to it again
The Human League
3/5
If this album was just the last three songs I would have been much happier. Those are some banger cheesy classic 80s hits. The rest of the album is just bad cheesy. It balances out to be just alright, so it could have been worse.
Belle & Sebastian
2/5
This is literally a government-funded band. Of course their music is shite.
The Who
3/5
"And, like, one and one don't make two, one and one make one."
Words of wisdom from the Who.
Public Enemy
4/5
Any album that samples the Flash Gordon theme song is an automatic 4 for me
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
Not so much bad as it is useless
Oh wait it is bad
Oh dear it is bad
Talking Heads
4/5
I fucking hate Life During Wartime
The Stooges
3/5
Unremarkably bland and mediocre punk rock that doesn't even sound too punk
The Kinks
4/5
Why do I always end up liking the Kinks damnit
The Beach Boys
4/5
A little too doo wop for me, and I'm confused why there were two songs without any singing, but there were a couple nice songs. I think we all know the ones I'm talking about.
Iron Maiden
4/5
Rock on freaky bros
Alice Cooper
4/5
From the guy who taught us all what the name 'Milwaukee' means, it's Alice Cooper and his album 'Billion Dollar Babies', which delivers a nice blast from the 70s rock scene and provides us with a few classic rock tunes that are unfamiliar to the seasoned fan. It's nothing experimental, and it never strays into the paths of cheesy or unique, but that might actually be a good thing in this case. Alice gives us what he's good at, and it's displayed neatly in this album.
Brian Wilson
3/5
From Wikipedia:
"Revisiting 'Smile' was an intense emotional undertaking for Wilson, as he had been deeply traumatized by the circumstances that had originally surrounded the project."
Me: stop acting like a f*cking baby it's just an album
But then:
"Jardine, who did not use drugs, compared his position to 'being trapped in an insane asylum', citing an incident during a 'Heroes and Villains' session when Brian instructed the band to crawl around the studio and mimic pig-snorting noises."
Also me: hollup what the f*ck type of album was this
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
Every single song on here was magnificent.
Except maybe 'Meeting Across the River'. That one put me to sleep twice.
Still a five though.
The Kinks
3/5
All of these Kinks albums are starting to blend together. I can't tell whether their music is inventive or just generic. I quite enjoyed 'Sunny Afternoon' a lot, and there were definitely a few decent songs, but I can only listen to so much British Invasion music before it all starts to sound the same.
Iggy Pop
5/5
This is makin me wanna run down some random street in Scotland while high on heroin
Van Morrison
3/5
It's decent I just don't understand why I have to listen to this. It feels like overkill after a while
Dusty Springfield
3/5
Impossible not to think of Lloyd Christmas
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
What teenage nights sound like. An absolutely impeccable combination of fantastical tunes and wailing guitars. Crazy to think this is some of their earliest music. This was crucial to the entire decade's sound scene and it's still influencing to this day.
Ali Farka Touré
3/5
I have gained nothing from listening to this it was the most meh thing ever
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
It had '1979'. It has 'Tonight Tonight'. It has 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings'. I literally couldn't ask for more! And it has two hours more!!!
Buck Owens
3/5
We've got both types: country and western.
Talk Talk
3/5
I used this as background music for writing a resume so now I think I may have written a crappy resume
Country Joe & The Fish
3/5
Wtf does 'electric music for the BODY' mean
The Cure
3/5
There wasn't really a standout song anywhere in this album. 'A Forest' was not that good at all considering the Cure's other work. This was pretty much goth for the sake of goth, and there wasn't a whole lot of creativity behind it. It was pretty formulaic and quite boring.
The Louvin Brothers
3/5
58.6K monthly listeners on spotify is probably a new low for this generator. I mean my high school music teacher has 11K for comparison.
Bebel Gilberto
3/5
It was really bad at first but then it got better. The songs had a nice smooth vibe and it was pretty chill. Still a little cheesy though.
Carole King
4/5
It was decent as far as folk albums go. It's just not my genre but it was the best of its genre. The amount of classics that came off of this is OUTSTANDING.
Gang Starr
3/5
It was pretty basic hip hop that I've never heard before nor care to listen to ever again. The production was very generic and didn't have the clean classic hip hop sound that the great albums do. The lyrics are super funny though.
Queen
5/5
On first glance, this doesn't seem like it would be much of anything, and to anyone other than a Queen fan, there's only one recognizable song on here with "Killer Queen". Listening to this entire collection reveals a whole treasure trove of some of their best deep cuts, including "Now I'm Here", "Stone Cold Crazy", and the absolute best on the album, the opener, "Brighton Rock". Each song flows into the other and is perfectly placed in a harmonious progression. The flaws may be a couple of lackluster tracks, but the positives are numerous. The guitar solos are insatiable, the harmonies blend together wonderfully, and Freddie's voice is impeccably outstanding. Words cannot even describe how perfect his voice was for rock music. All in all, this is a really neat look into their catalogue as a whole that demonstrates both variety and quality. This is one of the most overlooked works that glam rock had to offer.
The Flying Burrito Brothers

The fact that they didn't give me the album with his most famous song is just...
Well, you know what cheesy pun I'm attempting.
Adele

Elvis Costello
4/5
Steve Buscemi once said in a reddit AMA that his favorite artist is Elvis Costello so I guess I can't hate the guy's music
Dinosaur Jr.
4/5
This is not just some 'noise' album as the comments would have you believe; this is raw, energetic rock. And honestly, that's good enough for me.
David Bowie
4/5
Do you think shagging Mick Jagger gave this guy magical powers
Little Richard
5/5
Does anyone else just picture the movie Top Secret when they hear Tutti Frutti
Blur
4/5
Most of the songs are very decent but there wasn't anything fantastic enough in here for me to call it an outstanding album. It's very close, though. I don't think I have one problem with this disc and it's very enjoyable.
4/5
Second Blur album in a row... what is this black magic???
Earth, Wind & Fire

Why couldn't I have gotten this album in September
Simon & Garfunkel

I'm just happy for the chap who was able to reminisce about their late father
Queens Of The Stone Age

Maybe they should go back to the Stone Age
Jeff Beck
4/5
Mediocre, average, and decent-sounding rock almost identical to everything else of its genre and time period. Just like the other Beck!
Stan Getz

I know this I'm supposed to like this because it's from the Land of my Ancestors, but it's so slow and repetitive.

Hawkwind

Seriously though whoever did the artwork for the cover did an amazing job
EDIT: Apparently his name was Barney Bubbles and he did some great artwork for musicians. Check out his stuff ✌️
Love
3/5
Sometimes there's such a thing as too many drugs, and this album shows it. The first few songs sounded quite relaxing, and it slowly descended to the sound of existential dread. Something about the instruments and the production always sounded slightly off, and the lyrics were so weird and meaningless. I wasn't a fan of any of it, but in the end, it managed to retain the bizarre charm of 60s music.
TV On The Radio
3/5
The two best were 'Ambulance' and 'Poppy' and everything else is mediocre but certainly not bad and it does have its own weird charm
Dizzee Rascal

Incubus
3/5
Ah, yes, a whole two songs that I know and feel indifferent about.
XTC
3/5
It's very typical of 80s alternative music. It's very pop-y and even though it can be a little catchy at times, it's always at least a little cheesy. It's moody, but you can never fully enjoy it out of the fear that your music taste would get worse.
Antony and the Johnsons
3/5
Listening to the whole thing together it's pretty coherent but let's face it if I were to pull one song out and listen to it I'd be like "what is this shit"
Wu-Tang Clan
3/5
I'm usually always impressed by old school hip hop, but this was not doing it for me. There was nothing clever about the lyrics, every song sounded the same, and the production was very poor. I'm surprised they have as many fans as they do. I can't even name one song that I liked the best because they were all so mediocre.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
The more I listen to the Rolling Stones the less I consider them to be a hard rock band

I was super stressed when listening to this so a lot of it when right past me but from what my freaked out mind understood this was slightly annoying and very britpop-y, which makes for an average and kind of weird cocktail mix of an album

Well I gave Bonnie Raitt three stars for what sounded almost exactly like this so I guess I can't be a hypocrite
Megadeth
3/5
Well if it sells then isn't someone buying
The Electric Prunes
3/5
That last song about the trolley was legitimately terrible
Throwing Muses

"Why do I want to die?"
Damn. That hits hard.
Digital Underground
2/5
Did he seriously just say a woman was diseased for weighing 66 pounds?
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Nothing but love for 'Cecilia' and 'Baby Driver', a lot of the other songs are a bit too slow but damn, there was some real joy contained in this one
Also remind me again what the hell did Art contribute to this band??
LTJ Bukem
3/5
An album so repetitive it sounds like a Spongebob joke.
Mr Krabs: Yes, hello. I was wondering if you could play that song again.
Radio DJ: Hmmm, which one, man?
Mr. Krabs: The one that goes "Bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-beep."
Radio DJ: No, man, you're thinking of "Bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-bop."
Aerosmith
4/5
Back when Aerosmith didn't sound like a parody of themselves.
"Back in the Saddle" is killer 70s gold, and although nothing else in the album lives up to it, it's still got some great Aerosmith variety. "Sick as a Dog" was not my cup of tea, but pretty much everything else was decent. "Home Tonight" especially was a great way to finish it off, and "Lick and a Promise" made for a good time, as well.
Of course, I probably would have been just as entertained if I just listened to the opening track and didn't bother with the other 30 minutes.
Liz Phair
2/5
Liz Phair in 1993: "Every time I see your face I get all wet between my legs."
Taylor Swift in 2025: "It's kind of making me wet."
There you have it, folks. Yet another instance of Taylor Swift stealing other artists' music. For shame, Taylor. For shame.
Miles Davis
2/5
"Fuck you, Miles Davis!!" - Channing Tatum in 21 Jump Street
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
I think Neil Young had to bring other people into his music in order to sound good
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Okay but 13 minutes of random noises called 'Sex Machine' should not even be a thing
Eels
3/5
Big Eye Alien Girl isn't real, it can't hurt you
Morrissey
4/5
I can't tell if "You're the One for Me, Fatty" is body positivity or not. Considering what Morrissey is like it's probably not.
Ute Lemper
2/5
It's like she's trying to make the next James Bond album... and it SUCKS
Wilco
4/5
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on war

It's a war on war
It's a war on war

There's a war on
The Fall
3/5
Idk man I was thinking about something else the entire time
Aphex Twin
2/5
Willy Wonka jumpscare
Ride
4/5
This is some peak 'good vibes but forgettable' 90s music. Solid effort but unfortunately it wasn't quite inventive enough. It sounds an awful lot like the other more indie music of the time, making it fade into obscurity.
Morrissey
3/5
In this album, Morrissey assures us that he was a "good and nice kid" who is only racist because he is English. But don't worry: he has forgiven Jesus for making him like this. Also he wants to kiss you.
Harry Nilsson
3/5
Sorry dude but your album was just a little too cheesy for me
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
Every song off of this sounded the exact same. Maybe this would get a better rating if it had a bit more creativity or spunk. Instead, each song was a copy of a slow and meditative look at the follies of life.
Buena Vista Social Club
3/5
A little bit too boring. I mean, lots of songs didn't even have any words. The slow, calming atmosphere worked for maybe three songs and then got really tedious really fast.
Orange Juice
3/5
This is ordinarily maybe a 2 1/2 but it has two things going for it: a) the immaculate cheesy 80s movie vibes and b) Edwyn Collins
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
Very slow and rather cheesy of Fleetwood Mac. It's an hour and fifteen minutes, and I think only about twenty of those minutes were Stevie Nicks. Definitely needs more Stevie Nicks.
Caetano Veloso
3/5
Pretty chill to just hang out in your bedroom to. It's a decent enough selection of Latin music that doesn't wander on for too long.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
5/5
So many good vibes going around. There's not a whole lot in disc one, but there's also not one problem with it. The second half comes alive with 'Jamming', which is super groovy in its own right, and 'Three Little Birds' seals the deal. Even the in-betweeners relax the mind and body. Not perfect, and a few forgettable ones, too, but still a very strong body of work.
CHIC
3/5
Well, if your thing is music with boogie and without a soul, this would be for you.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
2/5
WHY THEY GOTTA RUIN BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN LIKE THAT MAKE YOUR OWN BAD MUSIC MOTHERFUCKERS DON'T STEAL SOMEONE ELSE'S AND MAKE IT BAD
Nirvana
5/5
It's crazy how iconic this literal entire album is. I've heard all of these songs so many times that I'm almost sick of them.
Almost.
It's really hard to get sick of ultimate grunge.
Can
2/5
I think the only reason I'm not calling this absolutely terrible is because there were a few things that resembled music at first. Everything after that sounded like a ghost on crack.
Thundercat
4/5
I sincerely hope that if I ever enter the music industry that I will make music with this much flair, humor, irreverence, snark, and style
Led Zeppelin
5/5
This is EXACTLY what a great rock album should sound like. Every single song contributing to a hard-core, feel-it-in-your-bones experience that whisks you away to a rocker's paradise. It includes some all-time classics, including one of Zeppelin's best, the ultimate 'Living Loving Maid', and there's somehow no filler. 'Heartbreaker' was an excellent discovery. Zero complaints, Zeppelin. Bravo. 👏
The Specials
3/5
I'm going through an existential crisis right now. This didn't help.
Shuggie Otis
2/5
Seriously? More techno jazz funk without any words? And it's not even innovative? How many more of these can there be???
The Beau Brummels

Beau Brummels sounds like a brand of beans
Kanye West

Power: *chef's kiss*
All of the Lights: *chef's kiss*
Everything else: meh.

Being forced to listen to "Freddie's Dead" RIGHT AFTER the anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death was way too traumatizing
Rahul Dev Burman
2/5
HOW THE SHIT DOES THIS GUY HAVE 13 MILLION MONTHLY LISTENERS
The Police
5/5
So many amazing songs. SO MANY. "Synchrinicity II" is my personal favorite from The Police, so that was a total treat. Other favorites of mine include "Every Breath You Take"(one of the most iconic 80s songs, period) and "King of Pain", so hearing them all in a row on the same album was perfection. Where this album messes up is the rest of the stuff. Don't get me wrong, most of the songs are either just fine or decent. I enjoyed a couple of the deepest cuts. But there is one huge, glaring problem. And it's called "Mother". Never play that one for me ever again.
The Flaming Lips
3/5
An album supposedly about something as exciting as battling pink robots shouldn't be putting me to sleep.
SO WHY DID IT PUT ME TO SLEEP?!?!
I think it's because it's *gasp* boring!
X-Ray Spex
4/5
How can you not love it when a punk girl gets her energy out?
The Streets
2/5
Why does this sound like if Eggsy from Kingsman: The Secret Service made an album
Fugazi
3/5
Oh, Lord. Generic punk. It doesn't have the energy or the creativity of other punk albums, and there isn't a standout song of the bunch. There's a really good reason I had never heard of them or this album before.
Cowboy Junkies
3/5
Her voice is more boring than golf.
I mean, what do you think her range is? An octave and a half?
Randy Newman
3/5
🎶Beware, beware, beware of the naked man🎶
The Shamen
3/5
This sounds like a crappy version of whatever Shaun and Ed From Shaun of the Dead were spinning at 4 AM.
That being said I vote this is the first record we throw at the zombies during our inevitable future war with them.
Patti Smith
3/5
Pretty interesting and different compared to other punk albums I've had to listen to. Usually they sound the same, but this one was like electric Leonard Cohen. Is it great? No, but anything named 'Horses' deserves some respect.
fIREHOSE
3/5
Meh. The Minutemen were better. I'm totally gonna forget this in two seconds.
Incredible Bongo Band
3/5
So today I learned there is a limit to how long I can listen to bongos
Eurythmics
4/5
Some great 80s nostalgia right here. There's a couple missteps, but it overall never loses its charm or my interest. The title track is, of course, the best, and the opener does a pretty good job in its own right.
Sonic Youth
3/5
Scooter and Jinx sounds like what I would name my cats 10 years from now
Ice Cube
3/5
I hated having to hear a woman sing '"this is a man's world" over and over
Cocteau Twins
5/5
This sounds like what MGMT were inspired by. It's an entire album of synthpop beauty, and despite the fact that I had never even heard of if before, I found so much to enjoy. Right away, the opening track, 'Cherry-coloured Funk', was breathtaking, and 'Iceblink Luck' has the same mystifying quality. The title song does live up to the expectations, and the disc never even loses its momentum, as 'Fotzepolitic' keeps up the good vibes. Be sure to not miss this one, even if you're having doubts like YesterMe.
Ice Cube
3/5
I just love that Brian May from Queen gets a writing credit on "When Will They Shoot?"
Marvin Gaye
3/5
This album is proof that Marvin Gaye could sing anything and make it sound decent. I mean, it's seventy five minutes of terrible lyrics about getting divorced, and the dude sounds like a groovy 70s angel. I'm not saying it's that good; I'm just saying it's impressive what he could do with next to nothing.
Frank Black
3/5
yo Mr. White, I think I heard your name in here somewhere
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
I swear the cover is trying to spell out 'Napoleon Dynamite'
Nick Drake
3/5
I must be a soul-less individual because I do not understand what is so good about Nick Drake. Twice now I've had to sit through an album of his, and twice now I've been bored to death. I think the extra star here is because one of these songs was in 'The Royal Tenenbaums', and everything that movie touched was pure gold.
The Monkees
3/5
I don't know about you guys but I am just loving this homoerotic album cover
Billy Bragg
3/5
Me hearing every Wilco song: 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Me hearing every Billy Bragg song: 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
So basically not that good.
Joy Division
4/5
Pov: you're a moody high schooler who doesn't fit in and has no friends and your parents are divorced because your dad is a piece of shit who hates you and your younger brother just got taken by the demogorgon and your mom is falling apart trying to find him and all you can do is lay in your bed and hide in your music and cry ❤️❤️❤️
Black Flag
4/5
I just loved the energy. Honestly that's enough for me and my half-witted brain.
Sufjan Stevens
5/5
Being from the shithole known as Illinois I think I'm legally obligated to give this five stars. And the fact that he made a song about the Rock River Valley, and I live RIGHT BY the Rock River?!?! Excellent 😘
Grant Lee Buffalo
3/5
I mean, the melodies are kind of there? For the most part they aren't really, but the opener's okay. The lyrics are what really mess it up. They're so cheesy. Like I think he said something about being chocolate cake at one point. It's kind of bland and very cheesy, to sum it up, and I lost a lot of interest after the first song.
Pearl Jam
5/5
50% of 90s grunge classics came off this album. It could not possibly garner more praise.
Bert Jansch
2/5
Some of the guitar was really pretty, but overall this was a very boring experience. I guess Scottish folk(?) just isn't my thing.
Neil Young
3/5
Wait, what's the hype all about? This is SO BORING and honestly, it's pretty cheesy. I've heard some folk albums that were genuinely good and unique(I'm not a fan of the genre, so this doesn't happen often), and this album, sadly, fell into the category of generic folk albums that aren't too good. Sorry, Neil. This isn't a masterpiece. It's just average.
Jeru The Damaja
2/5
"I'm not a misogynist."
Like hell you are. You just made an entire song called 'Da Bichez' for God's sake. I mean Jesus Christ no other subculture cranks out as many misogynists as rap/hip hop.
Beatles
3/5
This was somehow even more 60s cheese than I was expecting. Almost every song just sounded like a copy-paste of each other. There's hardly any creativity here, and this is only enjoyable if you're young and don't have a properly developed music taste. 'Can't Buy Me Love' is probably the only good one on here.
Roxy Music
2/5
Wowie this is bad. His voice is so terrible and the production is really muddy. I knew Roxy Music was bad, and they just keep getting worse with every album I hear. How are they so acclaimed? They're God awful.
Joni Mitchell
2/5
I gave her album 'Blue' 2 stars. How is this one supposed to be any better?
Funkadelic
3/5
Upvote if you believe fried ice cream is a reality
Stevie Wonder
3/5
This one is pretty plain to me, like an earlier version of 'Fulfillingness' First Finale'. It can sound pretty groovy at times, but overall it's boring and not as genius as everyone else tells you it is. There's one iconic song and everything else kind of just sounds like supporting filler tunes. It's kind of hard to listen to this for fun. You would have to be in a very rare type of mood to put this one on, I think.
Christina Aguilera
3/5
It's a little boring and lame but it's really not bad. I could see how popheads would like this. It's honestly perfectly fine for its genre.
Bee Gees
1/5
A concept album surrounding the concept of being boring
The United States Of America
2/5
I can't tell what's worse: the album or the country
Alice Cooper
3/5
The title track is the best and it's not even that awesome
Blur
5/5
OK it's not so good at the start but it gets better. Songs like 'M.O.R.', 'You're So Great', and 'Chinese Bombs' really pick it up, and it finishes with the quintessentially British 'Essex Dogs'. And 'Song 2'?!?! Beautiful. I think we can all agree it's one of the coolest songs ever, right?
Hole
5/5
"I don't really miss God but I sure miss Santa Claus."
Basically how I've felt for a long time now but I've been unable to put it in words
John Martyn
2/5
So I guess he used to be a little bit more bearable before 'One World'
David Ackles
1/5
Woah. Tom Waits lost his raspy voice. And he still sucks.
New York Dolls
3/5
Oh, how I wanted to love the idea of androgynous, gender-bending punk rockers. It got good ratings and it's sung by the Ghost of Christmas Past from Scrooged, so I thought it sounded solid enough. I got a little too excited. It's pretty generic. The songs pretty much sound like each other, and the production is nothing impressive. Something about his voice is really bland. I can't complain too much with rock music that follows a working formula, but I will complain that it doesn't have much creativity.
Björk
3/5
Oh, THAT'S the origin of the swan dress
Talvin Singh
2/5
If the album was just 'OK', I would have given this a 3. Then 'Vikram the Vampire' came along. Evil Vikram made me reconsider.

The B-52's

Music for when I have that kinky adult party I've been pretending to want all these years
Jimmy Smith
3/5
A lot like Green Onions, but if pretty much just the first song was cool. And it was, don't get me wrong. It felt like visiting a cool rustic chicken shack. The other songs were just boring though. I lost interest. Nice organ and sax. And don't forget the dog.
Manu Chao
4/5
I know it doesn't seem like much, but albums like this make me appreciate my high school Spanish teacher immensely. Even if I could only understand a quarter of what the lyrics were saying, it's all because of my former teacher. Every beautiful moment I had where I understood this wonderful language was because of her.
And the album was a banger. Great Latin beats.
Motörhead
3/5
At some point I thought they were gonna dedicate a song to me because I swear every damn person on the planet got a shout out here
The Killers
5/5
Not as good as Hot Fuzz, but then again, what is?
PJ Harvey

This album can be compared to a cracker: I can eat it, but it's kind of bland

To the guy who said no one born after 1982 would like this album:
I was born in the 21st century. And I'm giving this FIVE STARS 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Iron Maiden

I was a little scared because this is not at ALL my type of music but ya know what, it's got a nice beat
Michael Jackson
4/5
Dammit I miss 70s Michael Jackson
Madonna
4/5
OK I hate to admit it but this was kind of a bop
And speaking as a fan of hard-core rock, "Like a Prayer" is one of the most perfect songs ever
Super Furry Animals
3/5
I feel like it times it had the right idea but was messed up by formulaic melodies and cringe lyrics. And I can't put my finger on it but his voice reminds me of a singer that I really can't stand.
Barry Adamson
2/5
If it sounds like something David Lynch would have liked then it's not the worst thing ever
Ananda Shankar
3/5
I don't even have anything clever to say with this one. It's just sitar music.
Tina Turner
3/5
Damn she be laying on the 80s cheese thick
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
An album that relies heavily on the storytelling and narratives. Don't expect to find the melodies that interesting. Just get lost in the tales of countrysides, poverty, brotherhood, family, and (for some reason) state troopers.
Frank Sinatra
3/5
If "uninspired" was an album.
Queen

Frank Ocean
4/5
run Forrest run
Ministry
3/5
This was the perfect soundtrack for trying to organize my screenplay. It's really random, there's WAY too much going on, and at times it's honestly so bad that it's good. Let me repeat: it's not quality music, and that's okay.
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
Hendrix's masterpiece. Every song took me back to the 60s and gave me a chance to just absorb the vibes. It not only contains most of his hits, but it also has great, groovy deep cuts. This is one of those rare albums where I just have to let the music sink in and I can feel it everywhere.
Missy Elliott
3/5
Girl did you just mention Epstein buddies Bill Gates and Donald Trump in the same sentence

Ramblin' Jack Elliott
2/5
Why is the sound quality reminiscent to a basement home recording? Why are there random people teaching themselves to sing at the end? WHAT IS WITH THE OVERTLY RACIST SONG ABOUT THE BLACK BOLL WEEVILS FROM MEXICO THAT ARE LOOKING FOR A HOME AND NEED TO BE KICKED OUT?!?!?
Fatboy Slim

Oh my God this was SO CHEESY. There wasn't a single thing here that I would ever voluntarily listen to ever again. The lyrics are hilariously bad and the melodies make me want to punch them through my phone screen.

Way too minimalist to hold any entertainment value. Extremely repetitive, in both melodies and lyrics(though there were hardly any), the instruments alone were not enough to interest the listener.

All the lil goth kids should be disappointed that a concept album about witches had this mediocre of a delivery. This could have been super cool, dude. Even I'm upset and I'm not even into witches.

The Coral
3/5
Not that this had to do with anything, but there was a moment listening to this where I had my headphones on and stared dramatically into my reflection in a window, and it felt really fucking cool. Now, the MUSIC wasn't cool, but the FEELING was. So basically I don't really know what to say about this album.
N.E.R.D

I am a nerd so I guess that explains the positive rating

'Love the One You're With' has no right to be that good because everything else on here is so bland... *yawn*
Also are we not gonna address the giraffe in the room
Belle & Sebastian
3/5
I liked 'Expectations' a lot, although maybe it's just because I first heard it in 'Juno', but overall it was a nice, albeit lame, listen for an indie album. Almost the entire thing felt like it could have been a soundtrack, and it was much better than their second album. Like I said, it's lame, but it's enjoyable for a teenage white girl like myself.
Kid Rock

Do you think Shakespeare wished he could write poetry this beautiful?
Dusty Springfield
4/5
OK, OK, so you gotta hear this. So, Jan's shower is going on right now, and she's singing "Son of a Preacher Man" and everyone's just staring at her. The song is about losing your virginity next to a church, and guess what - she's been singing for the last twenty minutes!

Hey umm... Mr. Generator? Can we stop giving privilege to the Brits? I'm sure there are so many interesting albums that couldn't fit into the list because there were 700 boring British albums.

'Filthy/Gorgeous' is phenomenal, and even 'Mary' had the feels. I guess other than that I'm not sure what the hype was all about. But hey it was fun!

I love listening to music called "Holier Than Thou" on the day of the year when Catholics yell at you for eating meat and/or more than 300 calories, and scream at you that Jesus died today because you're a sinner
Sorry can you tell I have religious trauma
Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Ah, yes, the two extremes of minimalist orchestra: beauty that transcends the boundaries of space and time similar to Philip Glass's soundtrack for 'The Truman Show', and my sleep paralysis demon whimpering "milk" every eighteen seconds.

This is more damaging to redheads than the 'Gingervitis' episode of South Park
Paul Simon
4/5
'You Can Call Me Al' is objectively the greatest song of all time
Devendra Banhart
3/5
I have to admit he set the bar pretty low when he started it off with "This is the soup that I believe in"
Marilyn Manson

Awww hell man these lyrics were sooo bad but ya know what the guitar was kinda groovy so I'll let it slide
Motörhead

Are ALL of these dudes having a hard time getting a girlfriend or something??
Mariah Carey
2/5
Oof. Just boring 90s pop. Nothing else to it.
The Blue Nile
3/5
Ah, yes. Immaculate 80s vibes that sound like something straight out of the Goldbergs. What's not to love? I'm being only slightly sarcastic by the way.
Kacey Musgraves
4/5
Ya know the background music sounds fine but the atrocious lyrics and country fried vibes are fucking everything up
Okay maybe not EVERYTHING
Elastica
3/5
It was very... okay?? It was both good and bad in its own way. Pretty cheesy but if you forgot about that for a few minutes it was a pretty fun listen.
Mudhoney
3/5
Good energetic grunge sound, even if the vocals are weak. This is one of those albums where there's not a standout song, but it has a standout vibe. You just listen to it and all the songs blend into each other, which works if you wanna just chill, but doesn't make it any better than 'fine'.
The Byrds
3/5
Why does everything here sound like Spinal Tap circa 1960 something? It's like a parody of corny 60s music. Why is this considered to be their best album? I knew, like, the one song at the end and everything else was random cheesy 60s soft hippy folk rock. I think I found myself enjoying the second track for a hot minute and that was it.
Violent Femmes
3/5
I'm conflicted. The alternative punk vibes are kind of cool, but his voice is ridiculously annoying. Also, every time I found myself enjoying a song in the slightest, I couldn't help but feel that it was a little forced. I think I most enjoyed "To The Kill", but the two iconic hits were NOT doing anything for me. In fact, I pretty much hated them. I'm not sure what you're all hearing. It's fine but not THAT good.
Also, why was that one song about him wanting to get a girl drunk so he could have sex with her? Rapey much?
The Jam
3/5
Yeah The Jam is alright but strawberry jam is better
Ash
4/5
I think I just liked it because their music was in Shaun of the Dead
That was them wasn't it
Morrissey
4/5
"Don't leave your torch behind
A power cut ahead
1972, you know
And so we crept through the park
No, I cannot steal a pair of jeans
Off a clothesline for you
But you without clothes
Oh, I could not keep a straight face
Me, without clothes?
Well, a nation turns its back and gags
And I'm packed"
I'm crying bro what are these lyrics 😭
Living Colour

M.I.A.

OK is it a problem that I kinda liked it
Like "Paper Planes" is a banger yo
Pretenders
4/5
This is an album that's technically good but I can't bring myself to like it that much. "Brass in Pocket" and "The Wait" are phenomenal, but there are a few duds, such as "The Phone Call" and "Up The Neck". What this album relies most off of is the punk and alternative energy, which they do quite well. Unfortunately, though, and I hate to say it, but her voice sounded too much like a goat. And I can't stand "Kid". I don't know what it is that people love so much about this music. I get why they like it, and that's as far as I can understand. After all, there a couple songs here that I am fond of.
Giant Sand
1/5
This is honest to God some of the worst music I've ever heard. I'm not exaggerating. I've been doing this project for 2 years every single day and this is in the bottom 20. The voice. The lyrics. The production. Terrible. Worse than those toothpaste flavored chocolates.
Anthrax
3/5
Y'all ain't ready to face the truth that Anthrax is ✨️culture✨️ and it shows
Meat Puppets

AURORA BOREALIS?!? At this time of day, in this part of the country, LOCALIZED ENTIRELY INSIDE OF YOUR KITCHEN?!?!
Sonic Youth
4/5
What is people's obsession with putting naked babies on album covers like be for real
Dwight Yoakam
2/5
I injured my hand while listening to this album so now I think I should make an entire album about how my hand hates me and cheated on me
Also I put full blame on Dwight Yoakam for said injury it's his fault I got hurt 💅💅
The Modern Lovers
2/5
This is influential? How?? This is music so generic I could've written it myself, and his voice is so bad he shouldn't even be allowed to call himself a singer. I think y'all are just forcing yourselves to like this. You don't have to, you know. It's okay to admit this is not good. It's what Hippie Johhny would want you to do.
Primal Scream

Are you ready to get your groove on?
