-Came and stayed for Hotel California the song, but this was very consistently good and catchy -The first half of the album specifically is so majestic -Favorites are Hotel California, Life In The Fast Lane, and Victim Of Love

-Amy Winehouse my beloved.. I didn’t realize she took inspo from Frank Sinatra! Makes sense though. Her voice is phenomenal in this album -Favorites are Stronger Than Me, Fuck Me Pumps, and I Heard Love Is Blind

-waow this is awesome… I have only really listened to the Gorillaz before this and put off p much all of Damon Albarn’s earlier stuff. The self-titled album is absolutely badass though. As an additional note I’ve been looking for Song 2 for like years without knowing what it’s called.. now i know -Favorites are Beetlebum, Song 2, and Movin’ On

-this feels a bit like R.E.M with a punk rock twist to me, I’m surprised they didn’t get more popular. Definitely quite a few solid songs on here (Ice Cold Ice is great) but it felt a little bloated especially near the end when it felt like I was listening to the same song over and over. Not bad at all tho -Favorites are Charity, Chastity, Prudence, and Hope and Ice Cold Ice

-IM SORRY MS JACKSON.. I AM FOR REAL.. -Good classic hip hop feel with a lot of aggressive elements and different vocal styles being experimented with, kind of reminds me of Cypress Hill and Tyler at parts -I feel like they were able to fit so many different kinds of rap into this it’s cool -So Fresh So Clean, Ms. Jackson, BOB, and Spaghetti Junction are my favorites

-This man has the voice of an angel. his soul is bleeding out of this album -I am going to cry -Integration of folk elements and covers of classic songs with more “modern” rock gives it sort of a timeless feel? His voice transcends time and space fr -Favorites are Mojo Pin, Hallelujah, Corpus Christi Carol, and Dream Brother

-I was not expecting Marvin Gaye to send me into an existential crisis about the world and its future -We love a good “we live in a society” album but with a positive spin -I really like the background drumming a lot of the songs have and the way they melt into each other, it gives it a very cohesive feel -Favorites are What’s Happening Brother and Inner City Blues

-YEAH BOIIIIIIII -80s rap feels prehistoric to me, I can’t say I’ve listened to much -Admittedly not really my thing but I really like the political commentary and experimental sampling -Favorite is Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos

-I have put off listening to Talking Heads for too long -It’s interesting, it has a very “80s new wave” feel despite being a bit earlier than stuff like Tears For Fears -As always I like the world music influence -Favorites are New Feeling, Psycho Killer, and Pulled Up

-I definitely like the rock elements best -Another good album for pondering and yearning -Imma be real I can’t stand his voice in some of these songs but it’s cool in some others -Favorites are Southern Man and When You Dance I Can Really Love

-I’m not a huge fan of country folk stuff but she has a really nice voice -Sort of reminds me of Enya at some parts, specifically the “exotic” world music influence in some songs -Favorites are The Pearl and J’ai fait tout

-It’s like The Smiths if they were slightly more deranged and went on a party drug bender -Some of these lyrics are genuinely hilarious and baffling to me but I fw them -Not a huge fan of all the music but it gets a lot of points for creativity -Favorites are Moving In With, Bring A Friend, and Lazyitis

-jfc george ts is so long what were you trying to prove -That being said I really like it, it reminds me of a lot of later Beatles stuff -I like the diversity of the instrumentation especially -Favorites are I’d Have You Anytime, My Sweet Lord, and Art Of Dying

-this is very very smooth… I’ve never really listened to much vocal jazz other than Billie Holiday but it’s captivating -Live albums are a lost art, I felt like I was there listening to her sing at a fancy cafe surrounded by rich 50s geezers -Favorites are Just One Of Those Things, Honeysuckle Rose, and How High The Moon

-this is britpop at its most britpop i think… -Personally not a fan of a lot of this, I think some songs go on too long and my god his voice in some of the songs…. -I like the darker, angsty aspects of it best -Favorites are On Your Own, History, and Life’s An Ocean

-I do enjoy some good rockabilly… it’s a lot like Elvis but crazier ig? -i can see why the teens of the 50s and 60s were so blown away by this stuff because by their standards it had to have been like listening to Miley in 2013 -Favorites are Money and Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On

-FUCK YEA ELECTRIC GUITAR IN EARLY 70S FOLK ROCK -The vocal harmonies and stuff are really cool, and it has a bit more of an energetic feel to it while also having some nice slow songs -Favorites are Carry On, Woodstock, and 4 + 20

-Her voice is really nice! I’ve heard of Constant Craving but never really listened to it until now -Aside from the vocals I really liked some of the percussion, it gave the album kind of an exotic/wistful feel -Favorites are Season Of Hollow Soul and Constant Craving

-THIS IS SO COOL I love long chaotic instrumental intros -THE WEAVER IN THE WEB THAT HE MADE!!! -The instrumentation def takes center stage in pretty much all of these songs, specifically the keyboard. Kind of reminds me of Tago Mago at parts -Favorites are Tarkus (Eruption and Mass) and Bitches Crystal

-damn who broke this man’s heart i just wanna talk to them. i wanna fall in love again now… -The Spanish-sounding guitar toward the end of the album was an interesting feature and kept it from getting stagnant -Favorites are Can’t Nobody Love You and He’ll Have To Go

-pretty interesting early rap feel -Favorites are Guillotine, Can It Be All So Simple, and Spot Rusherz

-Great vocals and interesting for a live album. I really like the classic rock and blues influences, although some of the songs dragged on a bit too long for my liking -Favorites are Done Somebody Wrong

-Not too bad… the flow is a little corny for my taste in some of these songs though. Idk if that’s a time period thing though -The second half of the album was somehow better, I love the fun old-school energy and mixing -Favorites are Step In The Arena, Take A Rest, and The Meaning Of The Name

-I definitely like it a lot more than the other Verve album, there seems to have been an improvement in direction and sound -I loved the more experimental ambient-esque stuff on Neon Wilderness and Deep Freeze -Favorites are Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Drugs Don’t Work, and Weeping Willow

-A lot of these songs sound like anime theme songs but like in a good way… it’s very catchy and high-energy which I always like -Kind of started to fall off toward the end of the album in my opinion but the start and middle parts were really good -Favorites are Kinder Murder, Clown Strike, and London’s Brilliant Parade

-well this is… interesting… it sounds kinda like old sea shanties. I do like the Irish/Celtic influence and the entertaining lyrics -I wouldn’t exactly listen to most of these songs in my free time but it’s still pretty cool to hear -Favorites are I’m A Man You Don’t Meet Every Day and Sally MacLennane

-Idk his voice annoys me in some of these songs -It definitely felt easy for me to separate the good songs from the bad ones but overall not really my thing -Favorites are Badlands and The Promised Land

-AHHH ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME… Kate at her absolute most daring and creative. The storytelling aspects are incredible and every song feels like a whole new world. I wish she did more like this -Favorites are uhh all of them this album has zero flops. But if I had to choose, Sat In Your Lap, Suspended In Gaffa, Night Of The Swallow, Houdini, and Get Out Of My House

-Okay so I actually ended up liking this a lot more than I thought I would. Very catchy and soulful, and there’s something about his voice I really like -It honestly had no bad songs too so it was hard to choose standouts -Favorites are Movin’ Out, The Stranger, and Vienna

-Wow this is definitely one of the albums of all time! -First of all I’m not gonna be one of those people who blindly shits on “hardcore” music or claims it isn’t music but… yeah. Get these men some lozenges! Props to making the world’s shortest song and some cool guitar/drum work though -Favorites are Instinct Of Survival and Scum

-Okay so I have definitely been converted into the cult of prog rock, and this album solidified it -I really like the unique instrumentation and variation between the songs, so I’ll give it a soft 4. Bloody Well Right is probably one of my new favorite songs -Favorites are Bloody Well Right, Hide In Your Shell, and Rudy

-Liked this a bit more than I thought I would. The lyrics are really funny and I love the variety in genre and vocal style -def playing this at the tiktok rizz party -Favorites are Something For The Weekend, Becoming More Like Alfie, and A Woman Of The World

-this is fantastic. Even for such a long album, there was never a dull moment. Some really interesting and progressive social commentary which I appreciated too -I like the groovy and electronic-sounding songs best -Favorites are Sir Duke, I Wish, Isn’t She Lovely, and Black Man

-Maybe a bit slow for my liking but I do like the lyrics and instrumentation! Generally very reminiscent of Marvin Gaye but I suppose that’s just the style -Favorites are Billy Jack and Love To The People

-I wasn’t a huge fan at first but I got more into it during the second half of the album, his voice is good -Favorites are Drive, Monty Got A Raw Deal, and Star Me Kitten

-not too bad. sort of similar to the raekwon album I guess, but with its own unique style -Favorites are Duel Of The Iron Mic, Gold, and 4th Chamber

-now this is music you listen to if you’re a knight going on a crusade. we must reclaim the holy land -i liked the ominous industrial songs toward the end a lot! -Favorites are Trans-National and Jägerspiel

-yes!! yes!! finally a jazz / jazz-adjacent album! The guitar is splendid -Apparently the guy who made this had his mom killed because of the social commentary?? The Nigerian Hail To The Thief -Favorite is Zombie

-I’ve listened to a few songs from his album The Drift and was expecting this to be more like that. It’s still pretty cool though, I love his voice -Favorites are The Seventh Seal and The Old Man’s Back Again

-Came and stayed for Hotel California the song, but this was very consistently good and catchy -The first half of the album specifically is so majestic -Favorites are Hotel California, Life In The Fast Lane, and Victim Of Love

-My mom is obsessed with this album apparently but I’d never listened to it. It’s actually really good, I fw the random Caribbean influence -Favorites are Early In The Morning, Coconut, and Jump Into The Fire

-I’d heard a few songs from this album but never listened to it in full. It’s very good and consistent in quality, felt a lot like a concept album -Seeing the Drake collab gave me whiplash -Favorites are Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe, Backseat Freestyle, and m.A.A.d city

-not too bad. not really my kinda music and a little boring and repetitive at parts, but still nice to listen to -I cannot tell if this is country music -Favorites are Stardust, September Song, and On The Sunny Side Of The Street

-Not necessarily my favorite of his work but it’s not too bad, I really like the three ambient tracks toward the end -Favorites are Beauty And The Beast, Sense Of Doubt, and Moss Garden

-This is definitely a solid 3.5 just because it went on a little long but I actually like this! Most of the Britpop stuff I’ve heard before sounded cheesy but this is significantly more interesting -Favorites are Rock n’ Roll Star, Shakermaker, and Columbia

-now this is classic 80s dad rock. i very much enjoy the guitar shredding and high energy, though a lot of the lyrics and vocals could get pretty corny -Favorites are Jump, Panama, and I’ll Wait

-this is so delightful omg. I listened to this album a couple years ago before I was really interested in jazz but holy shit I love it sm. The high energy, the cultural fusion, every single song on here is exciting af -Favorites are Wild Jungle, Congo Mulence, Kenya, and Tin Tin Deo

-sort of reminds me of songs in the key of life at times. Very smooth and groovy I approve -Favorites are That Lady Pts. 1 and 2, Listen To The Music, and Summer Breeze Pts. 1 and 2

-I’m not a huge fan of country / country-adjacent music maybe because I haven’t listened to it much but this was decent. i like the rock and country blending -Favorites are To Be Young, Amy, and Shakedown on 9th Street

-Not really my kinda music at all but had some good songs. I guess I’d give it 2.5? -Favorites are Sunny Skies, Steam Roller Blues, and Suite For 20 G

-This is pretty interesting, has a sort of darkwave vibe to it -Anything experimental I’m all for but it definitely dragged on a bit long in some songs -Favorites are Careering and Socialist

-This is very nice jazz, I liked the afrobeats in some of the songs. Was good to have on as sort of background music too -Favorites are Minawa, The Big Apple, Inner Crisis, and Ingoo Pow-Pow

-He’ll yeah bubblegummy Europop/ rap… 6th grade me would’ve eaten this up -I still really like it actually, the energy is so fun and it has some surprisingly poignant social commentary lul -Favorites are Manchild, The Next Generation, and Heart

-Sort of reminds me of Emmylou Harris. Not really my kind of music but some of the songs are actually really good -Favorites are The Last Of The True Believers, Love At The Five & Dime, and Fly By Night

-I have never listened to a single Dolly Parton song before this album I don’t think but she sorta cooked here. It’s very reminiscent of the album I got the day before too -Favorites are Coat Of Many Colors, Traveling Man, and She Never Met A Man

-ok so this is a very interesting album. def a little disorganized and harder to listen to at times but I think it aged suuuper well especially for something that came out in the 60s. Cool electronic experimentation -Favorites are Hard Coming Love, Cloud Song, and The Garden Of Earthly Delights

-This is really really good, I love it. Idk why because it isn’t even a genre of music I usually like, although I do really like Wilco. I also didn’t realize it was all Woodie Guthrie lyrics either which is cool! -Favorites are California Stars, Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key, Hoodoo Voodoo, and One By One

-Omg Boards of Canada.. I listened to Geogaddi a few months ago and it’s honestly one of my favorite “IDM” albums of all time but hadn’t really heard much else by then -I def prefer Geogaddi but this is also really good. Has a very dreamlike vibe -Favorites are Telephasic Workshop, Sixtyten, and Roygbiv

-pretty cool! I definitely like their more rhythmic songs like Gigantic above the shorter, more abstract ones. But still an enjoyable listen and a very cohesive album -Favorites are Break My Body, Gigantic, and River Euphrates

-Amy Winehouse my beloved.. I didn’t realize she took inspo from Frank Sinatra! Makes sense though. Her voice is phenomenal in this album -Favorites are Stronger Than Me, Fuck Me Pumps, and I Heard Love Is Blind

-This is pretty nice! Wasn’t expecting folk rock combined with some cool elevator-music-type instrumentals. It’s very unique and feels timeless -Favorites are Darkness, Darkness, Sunlight, and Quicksand

-“vintage” techno let’s go… some of the songs on here are really good while others are sort of boring. Overall has a really fun vibe though, would go so hard at a club or rave -Favorites are Phoenix, Around The World, and Alive

-I love his voice and the guitar combination… was a great album to listen to while wistfully lying in bed in the dark and making myself increasingly sad and angry -Favorites are Speed Trials, Alameda, Between The Bars, and Angeles

-Pretty cool omg. Damon Albarn and Fela Kuti drummer guy together was not something I knew existed but I’m glad does. Some songs def very reminiscent of Gorillaz which I actually prefer to Blur -Favorites are History Song, Herculean, and The Bunting Song

-I LOVE THIS SM! Tropicalia is a very interesting genre. this album specifically kind of reminds me of Thievery Corporation in a lot of songs. The crazy instrumentation is my favorite part -Favorites are A Minha Menina, Adeus Maria Fulô, Bat Macumba, and Le Premier Bonheur Du Jour

-I heard about this band from Björk and didn’t really know what to expect. It’s extremely interesting, soothing at some parts and very intense/disorienting. Icelandic Pink Floyd vibes -Favorites are Svefn-g-englar, Starálfur, and Olsen olsen

-I’d say I like it. Started off pretty strong and kind of meandered a little toward the end, but it has some very interesting lyrics/themes and instrumentation. The female vocals are awesome and I wish there were more of them -Favorites are Black Mirror, Black Wave / Vibrations, and Ocean of Noise

-I love this sm!! Honestly has no bad songs (the closer may be the weakest in my opinion but is still good). The energy is awesome. Makes me want to ride a motorcycle while smoking a cigarette and wearing aviator sunglasses and a leather jacket -Favorites are Can’t Get Enough, Rock Steady, Ready For Love, Bad Company, and Movin’ On

-for some reason this feels like a sister album to Songs In The Key Of Life. Very consistently good and innovative, especially with the fusion of soul and hip hop. Can def see why it was number one on the Apple Music Top 100 Albums chart thing -Favorites are Lost Ones, Ex-Factor, Doo Wop (That Thing), and I Used To Love Him

-I’ve found that this whole project has given me a new appreciation for “simpler” and folkier music which I definitely didn’t have before. This is a pretty solid debut, I’d say - the guitar work is really nice, and the instrumental at the end of the album is phenomenally beautiful. -Favorites are Strolling Down The Highway, I Have No Time, and Angie

-I saw a tweet yesterday which called Adele the number one white woman of all time… while listening to this album I found myself starting to agree. I have heard a few songs from here before but the deep cuts are good too. A definitive 4.5, I just wish I could do half-stars -Favorites are Rolling In The Deep, Rumour Has It, He Won’t Go, and I’ll Be Waiting

-my mom apparently really likes this album, didn’t know it was their only one. it’s pretty good, I really like the themes and energy though it gets a bit repetitive at points. Would probably give it a 3.5 -Favorites are Problems and God Save the Queen

-An absolutely PHENOMENAL album. Definitely one of Miles’ best. I’ve listened to it before but only noticed how amazing John McLaughlin is on the guitar this time around. Never gets boring, great music to slink around an alleyway in the city at night to -Favorite is Shhh / Peaceful

-I really liked the first half of this specifically, the second was maybe a bit weaker but still pretty good? this is the second REM album ive had on here so far and i think I liked the first one better but I’m glad I’ve discovered them -Favorites are Finest Worksong, Welcome To The Occupation, and The One I Love

-I can definitely see the Kanye production all over this. The first half or so in particular has some amazing songs that build a great momentum, I’m surprised I’ve never heard anything by this artist before -Favorites are Be (Intro), The Corner, GO! and Testify

-I’ve gotten a lot more interested in soul music lately. This is really solid, although the production and sound is understandably a bit dated. the Satisfaction cover is legitimately amazing and so catchy -Favorites are Down In The Valley, Shake, and I Can’t Get No (Satisfaction)

-damn i love this, it’s so fun. One Way Or Another is of course an instant classic and a standout on this album, but there are some other really good songs here too. feels a bit ahead of its time even -Favorites are Hanging On The Telephone, One Way Or Another, 11:59, and Heart Of Glass

-I got Parallel Lines by Blondie the previous day and this reminds me a lot of that. I fw it heavy, We Got The Beat reminds me of my own childhood because I used to listen to it a lot as a kid. I think Fading Fast might actually be my favorite song on the record though. Pretty definitive 4 -Favorites are Our Lips Are Sealed, We Got The Beat, and Fading Fast

-One of the first definitive shoegaze albums I think I’ve listened to. Not bad, but maybe not super suited to my taste? I should def listen to it again I think. The guitar effects are all super cool though -Favorites are Kaleidoscope, Decay, and Vapour Trail

-waow this is awesome… I have only really listened to the Gorillaz before this and put off p much all of Damon Albarn’s earlier stuff. The self-titled album is absolutely badass though. As an additional note I’ve been looking for Song 2 for like years without knowing what it’s called.. now i know -Favorites are Beetlebum, Song 2, and Movin’ On

-kind of reminds me of a slightly more antiquated Depeche Mode? I like the instrumentation / slight world music influence, the first few songs were especially good even tho it fell off a little with some songs -Favorites are Rip It Up, A Million Pleading Faces, and I Can’t Help Myself

-YES another toe-curling five star number from Kate bush. It’s a lot more conventional and mature than The Dreaming but almost as good. I went through a period just about a year ago where I was absolutely obsessed with this album so it’s nice to revisit it -Favorites are The Sensual World, Love and Anger, The Fog, Heads We’re Dancing, and Rocket’s Tail

-I come from a long lineage of Black Sabbath enjoyers (my dad) so I’m pretty familiar with the style even though I haven’t listened to one of their albums in full before this. it’s pretty cool tho, the guitar makes the entire album -Favorites are Wheels Of Confusion, Snowblind, and Under the Sun

-it’s like Aphex Twin if he spent his nights doing coke and molly in Manchester. This is very solid rave music that made me bop my head and want to get up and dance while doing my psychology homework. Lots of variety -Favorites are Break & Enter, Voodoo People, 3 Kilos, and Skylined

-Appropriately, I was very drunk and high while listening to this so maybe my review is biased?? but damn this hits hard. the first few songs don’t do it for me quite as much but the second half or so is godly. amazing rhythm -Favorites are Slave Driver, Stir It Up, No More Trouble, Midnight Ravers, and All Day All Night

-i never knew madonna made a trip hop / electronica album.. pretty solid I guess? though im surprised i dont like it more considering this is like one of my favorite genres. the instrumentation is absolutely amazing in a lot of the songs though -Favorites are Swim, Ray Of Light, and The Power of Good-Bye

-has a lot of structural similarities to Songs In The Key Of Life. I def like SITKOL better but this is really good too, the quirky synthesizers are a neat addition. Superstition is a fucking amazing song -Favorites are Maybe Your Baby, Tuesday Heartbreak, and Superstition

-first of all i highly commend these guys for reproducing such classic sounds. i could probably be made to believe this came out in the 80s. has some cool arena rock vibes. that being said a lot of it was corny and repetitive imo. Maybe like 2.5 stars -Favorites are Black Shuck, Get Your Hands Off My Woman, and Love Is Only a Feeling

-according to rateyourmusic this is not really even a fan favorite Paul Simon album. Interestingly enough I thought it was super good. I love the variety in style and influences between the tracks, it never really got boring for me -Favorites are Allergies, Think Too Much (b) and Song About the Moon

-not the biggest Bob Dylan fan I don’t think, but the songwriting and lyricism is super good. listening to this when it came out in 1963 must have hit different -Favorites are Blowin’ In The Wind, Masters Of War, and Down the Highway

-very interesting… I’ve never really heard anything quite like this and I haven’t even listened to The Beach Boys. I would not have expected an album with a cappella and farm animal noises to appeal to me this much but I indeed really like it -Favorites are Heroes and Villains, Roll Plymouth Rock, and Good Vibrations

-interesting, has sort of an early arena rock feel to it. The first few songs are especially good. kind of lost my interest toward the end but damn Outside Woman Blues is awesome. Solid 3.5 probably -Favorites are Strange Brew, Sunshine Of Your Love, and Outside Woman Blues

-didn’t really like it much at first but some songs sort of grew on me? Nine Pound Hammer specifically is really good but the rest isn’t quite as appealing to me. would give 2.5 if I could -Favorites are Nine Pound Hammer and Old Kentucky Home

-damn I actually love 70s Brazilian music sm. thank you os mutantes and Jorge Ben Jor for introducing me to this and the cuica drum -holy shit Cavaleiro Do Cavalo Imaculado is so good -Favorites are Meus Filhos, Meu Tesouro, Xica Da Silva, and Cavaleiro Do Cavalo Imaculado

-Velvet Underground is decent for me, I’ve heard their album with Nico and I think I like it better than this one. This one took me a little while to warm up to I like the b-side a lot -Favorites are Beginning To See The Light, That’s The Story Of My Life, and The Murder Mystery

-this is definitely better than I imagined it to be when I saw the cover somehow. Did kind of feel like Beatles Lite (to be fair quite a bit of 60s music does) but it had a few very enjoyable songs -Favorites are Forget That Girl, Mr. Webster, and Randy Scouse Git

-I love this! can’t believe I’ve never heard this especially considering it has Thom Yorke in it… i will try my best not to talk about him. PJ Harvey has a REALLY good voice and I like the sort of classic rock influence, I was actually very surprised to learn it came out in 2000 -Favorites are Good Fortune, Beautiful Feeling, and Kamikaze

-this is definitely at the better end of the Britpop spectrum I’d say. Not sure why Suede didn’t do better in America at least for a little while because this is pretty strong for a debut, I actually really like Brett Anderson’s voice -Favorites are Animal Nitrate, Breakdown, and Animal Lover

-from everything ive heard about nick cave and the bad seeds I was not expecting this to be so… peaceful? comforting? sort of? the piano was very nice. it definitely felt a little drawn out but it was great to listen to on a walk through town at night -Favorites are People Ain’t No Good and West Country Girl

-this is grade a techno. Repetitive enough to put you in a sort of mental trance, but layered and exciting enough to not be boring. some of the songs were definitely better than others but it was pretty consistently good -Favorites are Planet Of The Shapes, Lush 3-1, and Halcyon and On and On

-this is really solid. i honestly don’t think any of the songs were bad or even uninteresting. I don’t really know that much about U2 but this makes me want to listen to more of their 80s albums at the very least -Favorites are Sunday Bloody Sunday, Drowning Man, and The Refugee

-well I’ll just start by saying that Tiny Dancer is definitely the best song on here and my favorite Elton John song period (though I haven’t exactly heard that many). The prog rock style is interesting and not what I was expecting. Overall a pretty solid album though maybe a bit too “samey” with some songs -Favorites are Tiny Dancer and Razor Face -Favorites are

-this is the THIRD REM album ive gotten and it’s been less than 100 days, idk how many there are in here… this one’s decent but markedly less enjoyable than Document and AFTP. none of the tracks really gripped me as much but it held together pretty well -Favorites are Pop Song 89 and World Leader Pretend

-this is amazing. I will try not to compare it to the other Stevie Wonder albums I’ve gotten on here so far. But my mom used to play some of these songs in the car when I was little and I’m hearing them for the first time again in years. The synths are immaculate. 4.5 stars -Favorites are Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away, Boogie On Reggae Woman, and You Haven’t Done Nothin’

-I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. there’s a lot of variety and uniqueness especially in the last track which is amazing. I really wanna listen to this again, I feel like there’s something new to discover in the songs every time I listen to them -Favorites are Waterfall, Made Of Stone, and Fools Gold

-I’ve listened to this album before and really enjoy it. A lot of the songs definitely fall flat especially toward the end, but the vintage r&b groove is very easy to get into and hook you throughout. Rinky Dink is a very fun and underrated song -Favorites are Green Onions, Rinky Dink, and Mo’ Onions

-this is quintessential European gay culture and one of the most unique albums I think I’ve seen on here. can’t really put it into a single genre category but it somehow feels a lot more recent than 2009. The electronic instrumentals scratch my brain really well -Favorites are When I Grow Up, Seven, and Now’s the Only Time I Know

-this is solid for a first album. Everyone loves making fun of Coldplay and I’m only closely familiar with their more recent songs, but there’s not much I can say that’s bad about this one. My mom used to play High Speed for me and it’s fucking transcendent -Favorites are Don’t Panic, Shiver, and High Speed

-I already listened to Metal Box and don’t remember much about it other than the repetitive guitar and cold vocals. This is… about the same, I guess, maybe a little less enjoyable. Some of the songs have some cool parts but overall it’s just kinda hard to listen to -Favorites are Annalisa and Public Image

-well it’s nothing completely groundbreaking for folk rock but I kinda like it. it definitely feels sort of repetitive and one-note but has some good vocals. sort of undecided between 3 and 3.5 -Favorites are Mr. Spaceman and Hey Joe (Where You Gonna Go)

-Went into this expecting it to be like Seven Nation Army, but I was pleased by some of the variety in these songs. Even some of the shortest ones packed quite a punch, largely due to Jack White’s voice I think. There were quite a few forgettable songs in my opinion though, so I’d give it like a 3.5 -Favorites are Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground, Fell In Love With a Girl, and We’re Going to Be Friends

-this feels a bit like R.E.M with a punk rock twist to me, I’m surprised they didn’t get more popular. Definitely quite a few solid songs on here (Ice Cold Ice is great) but it felt a little bloated especially near the end when it felt like I was listening to the same song over and over. Not bad at all tho -Favorites are Charity, Chastity, Prudence, and Hope and Ice Cold Ice

-god damn my man Frank Sinatra was down bad. how many people were these songs about?? -anyway it’s a pretty solid album if not a bit boring and dated at moments. Strongly reminds me of my childhood during the holidays, I feel sophisticated listening to it -Favorites are You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me, Too Marvelous For Words, and Old Devil Moon

-not bad but not too many of the songs really stood out to me. I like the cool effects (samplings? idk?) though, and Guest List is a very very beautiful song. I wouldn’t really define any of the songs as “bad” though so that’s a win -Favorites are Beautiful Freak, Guest List, and Your Lucky Day In Hell

-he’ll yea I love Steely Dan! I’ve listened to a few songs from this album but not the whole thing. The jazz / big band influence is great and gives the whole album a really smooth and cohesive feel. Never a dull moment. 4.5 stars -Favorites are Do It Again, Only A Fool Would Say That, and Reelin’ In The Years

-This is honestly a huge vibe, I loved Tracey Thorn’s work with Massive Attack (her voice is beautiful) and this is solid too if not a bit dated. Nevertheless I don’t play about the cheesy 80s corporate lounge vibe and this album encapsulates it perfectly -Favorites are Love Is Here Where I Live, These Early Days, and Goodbye Sunday

-I read about this album in a book and it’s definitely interesting, though think I prefer the other Elvis Costello album on here. The lyricism and vocal style is really cool, but the songs do definitely blend together and go on really long at some points -Favorites are I Hope You’re Happy Now and I Want You

-This is amazing, definitely my favorite release by Bowie I’ve heard so far. Something very alien and gripping about all the sounds, especially Eno’s ambient textures in the second half. This is my second full listen and it sounds even better -Favorites are What In The World, Weeping Wall, and Subterraneans

-liked this a LOT more than I thought I would knowing only Sweet Home Alabama tbh. Pretty much every song is super catchy and made me feel cool as shit -Some of the songs def went on a long time but they were still consistently good so I didn’t mind -Favorites are I Ain’t The One and Gimme Three Steps

-never been a massive fan of this genre but this is definitely one of the better / more cohesive punk-adjacent albums I’ve heard. Interesting vocals and experimentation, I was under the impression this came out in the 80s at first. Feels ahead of its time -Favorites are See No Evil, Friction, and Torn Curtain

-love this actually, never really listened to Arctic Monkeys or anything but the vocals are a standout on here. Every song sounded like an entire new experience due to the genre blending, which is good because a lot of pop rock albums are guilty of sounding too “samey” imo -Favorites are The Age Of The Understatement, Only The Truth, and My Mistakes Were Made For You

-I think I like this more than Definitely Maybe, it’s a bit more pleasant to listen to. Some really interesting subtle instrumental effects I like too! Wonderwall is of course a very high highlight, as is the second half of the album in my opinion. Thank you Liam Gallagher you strange strange man -Favorites are Wonderwall, Cast No Shadow, and Morning Glory

-i had genuinely no idea what to expect when I put this on other than “possibly corny”. it’s not too bad at all I don’t think, though not really something I would choose to listen to. The range of songs and instrumentation are definitely the highlights here, I’d give it a 3.5 maybe -Favorites are Nowhere Fast and Clean

-I like this a lot, it kinda feels like a more trippy version of Gerry Rafferty. surprised it didn’t do better commercially when it came out as it seems to fit the early 70s Zeitgeist really well. Some decent variety in sounds -The title track is absolutely amazing and blessed by god -Favorites are Silver Raven, No Other, and Strength of Strings

-yaay this is a fun one. Some really catchy beats in here, though some of the filler and skits got on my nerves. Oh well so was the style of 80s (90s)? hip hop -Aside from feeling a little long this was very well-made and enjoyable so no other complaints -Favorites are Jenifa Taught Me, Tread Water, and Me Myself and I

-well it’s… sort of interesting, sort of not? Some of the songs just felt like King Crimson lite. It did have some really cool instrumental parts sprinkled in which I enjoyed -I was listening to Animal Collective all day when I heard this and the first song did kinda remind me of them! as a side note -Favorites are Let Me Down Gently, So Hot, and Lord Can You Hear Me

-this is pretty good I think. Seems to be an unpopular opinion but I do like the Santana guitar on the first track. This album has some legendary artist features that keep it interesting -i actually prefer the first half or so, after that the songs sorta blended together -Favorites are The Healer, I’m In The Mood, and Baby Lee

-interesting! I haven’t heard anything else by Pulp so im not too familiar with their genre specialties or whatever, but I wasn’t expecting the Bowie-esque glam rock stuff. It did feel a little on the slow side at parts but I really liked the variety especially in the second half -Favorites are Dishes, Party Hard, and Seductive Berry

-interesting and very innovative for its time! Janis Joplin seemed like a really fascinating person and maybe the first big “female rockstar”. Her voice is kind of an acquired taste to some ig, but she has some amazing range which is shown off as early as the first two tracks -Favorites are Move Over, Cry Baby, and Half Moon

-not too bad especially for a live album. Had some enjoyable songs, though a bit of it was corny and blended together. Could’ve done with some major cutting down but hey it was pretty enjoyable to listen to while drunk and doing my psychology homework -Favorites are It’s A Plain Shame, I Wanna Go To The Sun, and (I’ll Give You) Money

-it’s not horrendous but it’s not.. really that good. My therapist was telling me how much she hated this band one time and now I can understand why -That being said it does have some highlights! The energy is badass in some songs and I LOVE the little Egyptian scale hidden track thing at the end of the album -Favorites are Come Out And Play and What Happened To You?

-this is decent, has some really catchy songs on it. Most notably of course It’s Tricky, which is one of my favorite pre-00s rap songs of all time. None of the other tracks quite lived up to the hype in my opinion but it never got too terrible -Favorites are It’s Tricky, Walk This Way, and You Be Illin’

-I liked this more than I thought I would. Not a huge fan of all the instrumentals but the vocals and lyrics fuck hard. Definitely better enjoyed as a cohesive album experience since some of the songs blend together but gave me some decent appreciation for a genre I’m not crazy about -Favorites are Passing Complexion and Stinking Drunk

-i had of course heard the orgasm beauty that is EBWTRTW before, and was not disappointed by the rest of the album. I’m a fan of Depeche Mode and was surprised how much a lot of it reminded me of them. Every track has a great atmosphere and it never gets majorly boring -Favorites are Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World, and Mothers Talk

-now THIS is music for old men if I’ve ever heard it… not even to say it’s bad. It’s a pretty nice vibe and more or less consistent in quality all the way through -it is absolutely NOT helping to beat the “all country music sounds the same” allegations honestly though -Favorites are The Grand Tour, Darlin’, and Our Private Life

-Ended up liking this even more than their first album. It really leans into the funky and genre-defying sound they started to introduce in their debut which I really liked. And holy shit I can’t stop playing Take Me To The River, it’s soo good -Favorites are The Girl Wants To Be With The Girls, Found A Job, and Take Me To The River

-well it’s quirky… and unique… but idk it just was not really cohesive or interesting enough to keep my attention all the way through. most of the songs were corny and completely blended together, so not really my ideal album experience! had a few fun numbers though -Favorites are Wail and Rocketship

-I like this one, I’ve had two Paul Simon records on here so far and they both seem pretty consistently good. It took me through a pretty wide range of moods, too. Some songs were definitely more interesting than others but none of it was definitively “bad” in my opinion -Favorites are Mother and Child Reunion and Run That Body Down

-her voice is majestic as hell and none of the songs really stood out to me as bad. I’m glad this challenge/project thing has turned me on to 1960s soul and jazz because they’ve been some of the most consistently enjoyable genres for me. RIP Aretha -Favorites are Chain Of Fools, Niki Hoeky, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, and Come Back Baby

-ah yes delightful. Not my absolute favorite by Miles but still really good. I’ve listened to it a few times already now and appreciate what jt did for cool jazz as a genre though -Definitely best enjoyed as a cohesive album experience rather than as individual tracks imo -Favorites are Move, Rocker, and Israel

-wow well this was.. VERY much not what I expected to be listening to when I saw I got an album from The Bee Gees. The voice was unrecognizable from the one in the orgasmic disco hits I’d been so used to hearing -it was lowkey boring in several parts but never horrible -Favorites are The Greatest Man In The World and Trafalgar

- gay theater kid music nice! It’s not too bad. I had no idea who Rufus Wainwright was but he has a really really good voice so I’m not complaining. That being said the album started to fall victim to the “all tracks sound kind of the same and it’s getting dull” up until the end when ANOHNI came in -Favorites are Agnus Dei, Peach Trees, and Old Whore’s Diet

-ah this album… I listened to a bunch of songs from it back in elementary school for some reason. Good times. Some were better than others but over all it was solid, I forgot how funny Snoop could be. Ain’t No Fun is probably his best song -Favorites are Gin And Juice, Ain’t No Fun, and Pump Pump

-was a little unremarkable at times but had a few hard hitters. The genre and music style is really interesting, kind of post-punk but also synth pop? Definitely a solid 3.5 -Also as an album from 2017 I think this is the latest one I’ve gotten on here so far -Favorites are how do you sleep?, tonite, and emotional haircut

-what is there to say… it’s a nice album with some really good songs. Feels a bit like Stevie Wonder but maybe slightly late to the party? It was consistent in quality across the board though I preferred the second half I guess -Favorites are Stand Up, Games, and If You Think You’re Lonely Now

-more Willie Nelson. I think I like this album more than the other one. I’ve never been a huge country music / Willie Nelson-type of person but I can appreciate the quality and legacy. I found myself actually wishing a few of the songs were longer so I could have more to go off of though -Favorites are Time Of The Preacher, Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain, and Red Headed Stranger

-has some moments of artistry and aesthetic appeal but overall… yea… not beating the “country music all sounds the same” allegations even though ik it’s not true. Saw someone on RYM say it sounds like a stereotype about how bad country music is and i can see it -Favorite is Let Her Go, God Bless Her

-I wasn’t sure what to expect other than knowing Jimmy Page would be on here. I think it’s a solid listen tho. It stayed interesting throughout and had some interesting experimentation with psychedelic music / fun instrumentals. Nothing earth-shattering but pretty enjoyable -Favorites are Psycho Daisies, Over Under Sideways Down, and Ever Since The World Began

-well at first I thought this absolutely sucked, but it really started to grow on me a few songs in. Idk how self-aware it is exactly but it was really funny and unique. This is definitely the closest I’ll ever come to enjoying UK drill rap, even if that isn’t what this is supposed to be -Favorites are Blinded By The Lights, Get Out of My House, Fit But You Know It, and What Is He Thinking?

-here it is. the moment I’ve been waiting for. first radiohead album to get on here -every time I listen to this album it just gets better. some of the most dreamy and beautiful rock music I’ve ever heard. thematically interesting and super consistent in quality. ik im a glazer but this album absolutely deserves the insane praise it gets -Favorites are Paranoid Android, Let Down, Electioneering, and Lucky

-quite an interesting album for sure… not exactly the kind of thing I would listen to for pleasure, but still glad to have heard it. It’s very very overstimulating, but kind of in a fun, cool way. Always down for experimentation with noise and texture in music -Favorites are Assassins, Dracula Mountain, and Longstockings

-wow I have suddenly been listening to a lot of country music because of this project thing… never thought I’d see the day -this is pretty good, Emmylou Harris was a nice touch for the most part. The second half was probably my favorite -Favorites are I Can’t Dance, $1000 Wedding, and Medley Live from Northern Quebec

-not bad at all! I think this is my favorite instance of Neil Young’s voice I’ve heard so far (compared with After the Gold Rush and the CSNY album). The gradual transition into heavier rock was cool. I hope Neil got his dream of becoming a Native American -Favorites are My My, Hey Hey, Pocahontas, and Sail Away

-wow hard to believe this was a 2004 album. It stays very true to 80s synthpop and that’s not a bad thing, even if it feels a little forced. Most of these songs are pretty good if not a bit cheesy, I guess I’d rate it somewhere between 3.5 and 4 stars? -Favorites are America Is Not The World, Let Me Kiss You, and All The Lazy Dykes

-I had never listened to ZZ Top before this but apparently my dad and his friend once dressed up as them for Halloween at school lol -I do like it tho. Sort of started to blend together by the second half but the blues rock elements add for a nice touch -Favorites are Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers and Sheikh

-some seemingly more obscure 90s British pop rock (I dare not say Britpop even though I think that’s what this is). I’d never heard of this band before and at first I was annoyed by the kitschy vocals, but it had a few good songs and kept it interesting with the instrumentation. I’ve heard much worse -Favorites are Starstruck and How Could I Be Wrong

-ok so i think i like this one more than Heroes but definitely less than Low. Wasn’t exactly sure what to expect after the other two but it seems to offer a slightly more traditionally ‘70s’ classic rock vibe. I liked some songs a bit more than others but overall enjoyed it. Queen Bitch is so good. 3.5 stars -Favorites are Changes, Life On Mars?, and Queen Bitch

-wow this is really cool. I’ve heard both In The Court of the Crimson King and Red, and I really like King Crimson’s focus on texture and sound. It was especially apparent in this record which has a sort of medieval vibe to it -The percussion stands out to me, especially in The Talking Drum. Such a good song holy shit -Favorites are Larks’ Tongues In Aspic (Part I), Easy Money, and The Talking Drum

-I’ve listened to a bunch of songs from Blond before but hadn’t actually heard too many songs from this album. It’s really good even if I do prefer what I’ve heard of Blond. Feels kind of like a reincarnation of early soul -Pyramids is one of the best R&B-adjacent songs I think ever -Favorites are Pilot Jones, Pyramids, and Lost

-This is cool, makes me want to grow my hair really long and protest the Vietnam War or something. I would honestly like to give it another listen sometime because I feel like I missed some stuff. Solid 3.5 probably? -The guitar and rhythms are definitely the best part imo, but he has a really good voice -Favorites are Wait Until Tomorrow and Ain’t No Telling

-this record was not exactly what I expected it to be. Felt kind of like a weird crossroads between 70s prog stuff and more commercial 80s rock? some of it was corny and blended together but overall it was decent -I enjoyed the longer tracks speeding up and slowing down -Favorites are Bat Out Of Hell and Paradise By The Dashboard Light

-wow it’s so… funky… -I was unfamiliar with Parliament’s non-Funkadelic work, but I think I like it. It’s an insane fuckin vibe and accomplishes its goal of making me feel like I’m riding on a spaceship in the 70s. Maybe a little bit same at parts but what more could I ask for -Favorites are Unfunky UFO, Handcuffs, and Give Up The Funk

-I had never really listened to the Grateful Dead before now but had heard Many Things about them and their adoring fans… this is sure as hell not what I was expecting -but I liked it, for the most part. it had a sort of peaceful and comforting vibe which I enjoyed after a long stressful day -Favorites are Friend Of The Devil, Ripple, and Truckin’

-okk i like this. this is good -I honestly think I like it more than Vol 4 which is the only other album I’ve heard by them in full. Felt like there was a bit more variety which gave me a better understanding of their skill… I recognized some of the songs from my dad having played them when I was younger which was fun too -Favorites are Paranoid, Planet Caravan, and Hand Of Doom

-this is so interesting damn. Not at all what I was expecting but I really liked it, it makes me feel like an Italian-American gangster in New York -The variety and the sort of quirky instrumentation and vocal styles keep this feeling consistent and never boring. I fw it -Favorites are Clap Hands, Jockey Full Of Bourbon, and Gun Street Girl

-not the most thrilling listen of my life but this is really pleasant. I love getting to listen to early big band and recorded jazz, I don’t think I would’ve ever listened to something this early on in recorded music if not through this website -Favorites are Double-O and Lil’ Darlin’

-wow this was a fun listen! as much as I’ve been getting into jazz lately I hadn’t heard Thelonious Monk yet and had been waiting for the chance. Stays true to the fun hard bop sound of the 50s/60s(?) that I like but also had some cool unique sounds -Favorites are Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are, Pannonica, and Bemsha Swing

-okay so upon learning this was a film score, I decided to also watch the movie, which I’d heard of but not seen. The score is really fitting and unique especially for the movie it was made to accompany -I absolutely love the “twinkling” electronic effect Air use in their songs, it’s so fun -Favorites are Playground Love, Cemetery Party, Dirty Trip, and Dead Bodies

-houly shit ok this is definitely the best Talking Heads album I’ve heard so far. Every song feels sort of like it’s from a completely new album, or maybe even completely new universe. Both the vocals and instrumentation are so fun and interesting… The Great Curve feels like the absolute highlight. Time to binge their entire discography -Favorites are Born Under Punches, Crosseyed and Painless, The Great Curve, and Listening Wind

-I was kind of back and forth on how I wanted to rate this but I’m gonna go 3.5 stars. It’s pretty interesting, reminds me a lot of Another Green World and his work with David Bowie on the Berlin Trilogy -some of the songs were a bit more memorable than others just on a first listen but damnn I really love the instrumentation -Favorites are Kurt’s Rejoinder, King’s Lead Hat, and Through Hollow Lands

-I think I prefer Lady Soul to this, maybe just a little bit because they’re both really good… her voice is super powerful and captivating, which makes up for the sort of dated audio quality and instrumentation. still so interesting to hear -Favorites are Respect, Drown In My Own Tears, and Soul Serenade
