Fav: Safesurfer Least Fav: Hung Up And Hanging Out To Dry

Fav: Jeru Least Fav: Moon Dreams

Fav: Mother’s Daughter Least Fav: El Nicoya

Fav: Maybe After He’s Gone Least Fav: A Rose For Emily Second half was a bit disappointing

Fav: Two Words Least Fav: Get Em High Not bad for my first hip hop album of this project

Fav: Paradise City Least Fav: Mr. Brownstone Lived up to the hype

Fav: Spray Least Fav: Bel Air I totally get why this album was on the list, and I definitely agree that it’s worthy of being on the list, but it’s just not for me at all

Fav: Sister Ray Least Fav: Lady Godiva’s Operation Similar issue to the previous album but I like this one a little more

Fav: Till There Was You Least Fav: Little Child It’s nice to see the early Beatles before they became the groundbreaking band later in their career, but this was mainly forgettable with the exception of a couple songs

Fav: Beauty And The Beast Least Fav: Neuköln Was not expecting that second half of the album, but it pleasantly surprised me

Fav: Frankenstein Least Fav: Bad Girl

Fav: They Always Come Least Fav: Don’t Vocals didn’t bug me as much as I expected going into this. This album was almost going to bee a 5/5 but the last 2 tracks were not fly, and they brought it down. Other than that, I was buzzing when the other songs were playing

Fav: Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) Least Fav: Jamaica Jerk-Off

Fav: The Unforgiven Least Fav: Don’t Tread On Me

Fav: Walk This Way Least Fav: Perfection (ironic) A couple of good songs on here but I was not a fan of their beatboxing

Fav: Geno Least Fav: I Couldn’t Help It If I Tried The horns were the one saving grace of this, as it would definitely be a 1/5 without them. This album would win a 5/5 on incomprehensible vocals though

Fav: Sabotage Least Fav: Eugene’s Lament

Fav: The Other Newest One Least Fav: Manimal Felt very long for 38 minutes

Fav: Cold War Least Fav: Neon Gumbo This album surprised me, it’s incredibly good and I never got tired of it at all. It’s albums like these that make me glad I do this.

Fav: Free Bird Least Fav: Mississippi Kid Some nice easy-listening rock music, with Free Bird being the standout song. It wasn’t bad at all but also wasn’t incredible. Regardless, I liked it enough to listen to it again.

Fav: Altar Of Sacrifice Least Fav: Necrophobic Haven’t listened to much metal in my life so this was interesting to listen to. I liked it but I felt like it relied on the same tricks and I got kinda bored by the end but I still liked it overall, so it’s worthy of a 3/5 in my eyes.

Fav: My Mistakes Were Made For You Least Fav: I Don’t Like You Anymore I like Alex Turner’s music but I found this to be quite average.

Fav: Who Are You Least Fav: The Ocean Doesn’t Want Me A very interesting album that is beginning to grow on me. Vocals are the obvious weak point but the overall sound and lyrics were quite impressive and by the end I was beginning to like it a little. It may be a 2/5 to me right now but I can see that growing with a few more listens.

Fav: Barrytown Least Fav: Through With Buzz

Fav: Yellow Least Fav: We Never Change Yellow is such a perfect song. Rest of the album was rather nice with the exception of a couple dull moments. Even the weakest track was nice to listen to and proves early Coldplay was good, especially when you see what they’ve become…

Fav: This Is What She’s Like Least Fav: Reminisce - Pt. 2 It was ok I guess, liked it a bit more than the other album by this group. It encapsulates a 5/10 rating

Fav: Bridge Over Troubled Water Least Fav: Why Don’t You Write Me

Fav: Dy-Na-Mi-Tee Least Fav: Watch Over Them The first few tracks were great, and then it just started to decline from there. It was ok but I don’t see myself ever coming back to this album

Fav: Taper Jean Girl Least Fav: King Of The Rodeo Yeah, that singing is just not very good

Fav: Kick In The Eye Least Fav: Of Lillies And Remains I was expecting to hate this based on the first track but I was pleasantly surprised. Not all of the ideas it’s going for manage to stick but it’s an admirable effort with some great songs.

Fav: Racing In The Street Least Fav: Candy’s Room I’m surprised at all the reviews here saying or implying he can’t sing, Springsteen’s voice is great!

Fav: Sunday Morning Least Fav: European Son This album was worth the hype, and only faltered at the last 2 songs. I saw some people say they didn’t like Nico’s vocals but I enjoyed her singing.

Fav: Baby Can I Hold You Least Fav: Mountains O’ Things

Fav: So Long, Marianne Least Fav: Master Song Some nice easy listening songs, enjoyed this more than I expected

Fav: Wind Up Least Fav: Mother Goose The good songs I really enjoyed, but a majority of the songs I just found forgettable. I admire the usage of flutes though.

Fav: There, There Least Fav: The Gloaming Finally got an album I’ve already heard before! As far as Radiohead goes it’s got a couple flaws with the weaker songs but a majority of this album is amazing. Even some of the more experimental stuff was pretty nice, for the most part, with the highlights being conveniently at the beginning, middle and end of the album.

Fav: The King From Red Bank Least Fav: After Supper

Fav: Father And Son Least Fav: Tea For The Tillerman

Fav: Mr. Grieves Least Fav: Tame The screaming songs were hit-or-miss for me and the second half of the album didn’t really do much for me. However I do think that there are moments of brilliance on this album that bring it up to a 3/5. Debaser, Here Comes Your Man and Mr. Grieves being my favourites

Fav: Wesley’s Theory Least Fav: For Free? - Interlude Incredible album, and u has got to be the greatest song I never want to listen to again.

Fav: Bad Meets Evil Least Fav: As The World Turns Beats were pretty nice and there’s a few songs I enjoyed but the majority I either didn’t care for or actively disliked. The edginess didn’t bother me but Eminem’s rapping wasn’t really doing it for me.

Fav: 1975 Least Fav: With Tomorrow It was alright, consistently decent but nothing really stood out. I’ll probably forget about this album within a week.

Fav: Rocks Off Least Fav: I Just Want To See His Face This didn’t need to be 18 tracks long. At least some of the songs were very good

Fav: The Nigga Ya Love To Hate Least Fav: Once Upon A Time In The Projects After the 4th song it begins to grow boring and very same-y, I respect what it’s going for but it just really didn’t captivate me. The misogyny was certainly not great either. This album basically has the same issues of the Eminem album I listened to previously.

Fav: Footprints Least Fav: Pubic Enemy The highlight for me was the instrumental sections, and overall album was great with 1-2 meh tracks. I’d say overall I am very excited to listen to more albums by A Tribe Called Quest.

Fav: Let It Grow Least Fav: Willie And The Hand Jive Even putting aside my dislike for Eric Clapton, this was just incredibly boring for me.

Fav: Ants Invasion Least Fav: Killer In The Home By far the weirdest album I’ve listened to yet, and somehow I was able to enjoy it, o don’t think it was a masterpiece but I respected the album for just doing it’s own thing with the yodelling, the pirate song and “ant music for sex people, sex music for ant people”

Fav: Dollar Days Least Fav: Girl Loves Me A lot more jazzy than I expected. I enjoyed the album but as I don’t really listen to Bowie much I felt as if some of the emotional impact wasn’t as strong as it could’ve been, in spite of this I thought it was well done and no song was necessarily bad but just had a couple of weaker sections.

Fav: Dirge Least Fav: Death Threat This was awesome, loved the mix of rock and electronic sounds together, like a rockier version of groups such as Portishead. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Fav: Proud Mary Least Fav: Graveyard Train Thought I was going to hate this but was surprised by a few of the songs including the origins version of Proud Mary. Some of the bluesiness didn’t really vibe with me but it wasn’t something I hated. Will need to revisit in the future.

Fav: Dancing In The Dark Least Fav: Glory Days Stronger second half, but is filled with great songs with great lyrics, not much else to say but I enjoyed it even with some of its weaker tracks.

Fav: Pyramid Song Least Fav: Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors This album is something I’ve always considered on the weaker side of Radiohead’s discography. I respect the experimental but it does not always work when you’ve got songs like Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors. Some of the better songs like Pyramid Song and Knives Out show that this album has quality when it wants to.

Fav: Jazz Police Least Fav: Tower Of Song The sheer contrast from this to the previous Cohen album I listened to (Songs Of Leonard Cohen) was crazy and I was blown away. Backing vocals were great and I am certainly a Leonard Cohen fan if I wasn’t before. Only issue was a couple of the songs felt meh but not I didn’t hate.

Fav: When The Levee Breaks Least Fav: Misty Mountain Hop First time properly listening to Led Zeppelin and what a way to start, it was fantastic. I was only familiar with Stairway To Heaven but the rest of the album was fantastic too, with a couple of issues with songs but nothing to rank any individual song below a 4/5.

Fav: The Boys Are Back In Town Least Fav: Sha-La-La Way too long, with way too much filler. These factors outweigh the actually good songs and leaves me disappointed for my 100th album

Fav: Jealousy Least Fav: Only The Wind One thing this list is making me realise is that I enjoy electronica a lot more than I thought I did. This album is very much a product of 80s-early 90s but does it so well.

Fav: Come All Ye Least Fav: Medley: The Lark In The Morning The singing and instruments was good in terms of ability but it didn’t do much for me. It was ok.

Fav: Ready Teddy Least Fav: Miss Ann Decent, but all of the songs almost blend into one. Hard for me to differentiate.

Fav: Sly Least Fav: Vein Melter Was dreading this as a 41 minute album with 4 songs did not seem very appealing to me, but to my surprise the album was as great and the individual song length wasn’t even as issue. Best jazz and best funk album I’ve heard so far.

Fav: Willow Weep For Me Least Fav: Just A Gigolo Incredible voice, very cosy sounding album

Fav: Help The Youth Of America Least Fav: The Marriage My only prior knowledge of Billy Bragg was his debut album which was ok at best, so I was expecting to dislike this if it was anything like that. I’m happy to say that this is SO much better, so much so that I was really struggling whether to give it a 4 or 5. My rule is that there can be 1 song that’s not great and still be a 5 star album as long as the song isn’t offensively bad, and as much as I tried to I couldn’t justify giving it a 5 but this is by far my strongest 4 to date. Hope he appears more on this list

Fav: Amor De Loca Juventud Least Fav: Orgullecida No matter how good or bad it is, I’ll never get tired of world music on this list, it’s always a treat and a gateway to cultures outside of what I’m used to

Fav: Street Joy Least Fav: River To Consider Perfectly fine album, but just feels like it’s missing something that would make it a 5. Not sure about this album so I’ll keep it at a 4. So far 2010s has had no bad albums, so I’m hoping it stays that way

Fav: Shiver Least Fav: (Well) Dusted This would’ve been a 1/5 if the second half wasn’t as good as it was

Fav: Just Go Away Least Fav: I Know But I Don’t Know Yknow maybe new wave isn’t so bad after all

Fav: The Man Who Sold The World Least Fav: Dumb Man, that second half was sure was uninteresting! Atleast they pulled it around in the last 2 songs

Fav: Call Me Least Fav: Fear My favourite part was how whenever it sounded like it was gonna decrease in quality they just completely changed it up. Only issue was the vocals sometimes not being fantastic

Fav: Much Too Much Least Fav: I’m A Man Another one that’s so close to being a 5…atleast it’s definitely my favourite 60s album so far

Fav: N.I.B. Least Fav: Black Sabbath It’s ok, and I’ll acknowledge that on a better day I may have rated this higher, but I didn’t vibe with this as much as I’d hoped. There’s some talent in there for sure

Fav: Prowler Least Fav: Running Free I was ready to hate this due to my indifference to metal and the terrible album cover, but it managed to pull through with 8 masterfully crafted songs

Fav: Inertiatic Esp Least Fav: Son Et Lumiere The chaotic nature of the songs got really boring after a while, way too long and way too similar imo. There’s definitely talent there so it’s not worthy of a 2

Fav: I See Your Face Before Me Least Fav: Glad To Be Unhappy Long and boring. I enjoy some Sinatra but it was just too much of the same thing, and I get that structuring of albums was different back then, but it’s still bad

Fav: Strange Brew Least Fav: Mother’s Lament Certainly better than Eric Clapton’s solo work

Fav: (I Live For) Cars And Girls Least Fav: Back To Africa There’s a couple really good songs here that are surrounded by mediocre to bad songs, this could’ve been so much better

Fav: Barbarism Begins At Home Least Fav: Meat Is Murder I’ve put off The Smiths for a while, but if all their albums sound like this maybe it’s worth giving them a shot

Fav: Good Grief Least Fav: Weenie Beani Supremely boring and generic, was very happy for this to end. Dave Grohl can’t sing

Fav: Could You Be The One? Least Fav: Visionary Really wanted to give this a 4/5 but it’s too long and needs cutting down by a large amount, however there are some cracking songs on here

Fav: Soul On Fire Least Fav: Telecosmic Alechemy This was incredible, lo-fi rock is something new to me and it will be something I’ll be getting into. Im shocked at such a low average rating, this album was great

Fav: Valentine Least Fav: The Party If your worst track on the album is The Party, you’re doing something right. So far these electronica picks have been perfect

Fav: Girls Just Want To Have Fun Least Fav: Yeah Yeah This did not sound as I expected it to, it’s good and Cyndi’s voice is great but some of the songs feel lacking. Unsure how to feel about it rn so I’ll stick with a 3

Fav: Cocaine Blues Least Fav: Dark As The Dungeon Best country album I’ve received so far

Fav: Harry’s House / Centerpiece Least Fav: Don’t Interrupt The Sorrow Damn Joni, I was not familiar with your game

Fav: Where Is My Mind? Least Fav: Cactus Disappointed at the lack of surfing music here ngl

Fav: Wilmot Least Fav: Bubble And Slide Certainly the strangest album I’ve listened to so far, and it doesn’t feel very haunted but all the songs slap. Some…interesting choices for these songs but they just work

Fav: Let England Shake Least Fav: Hanging In The Wire

Fav: Ballad Of The Sackslingers Least Fav: Mother Beimleim Had too many short songs that affected the pacing, but the lyrics and overall feel of life in Germany in and out of war was done very well. Flawed but worth the listen

Fav: 19-2000 Least Fav: Punk It’s a decent start, but you can tell Damon Albarn was finding his feet with this album

Fav: Obatala Least Fav: El San Juanera

Fav: L.A. Woman Least Fav: Crawling King Snake

Fav: Yours Is No Disgrace Least Fav: The Clap It’s a Yes from me

Fav: (Nice Dream) Least Fav: Bones This is one of those albums that’s pretty much perfect, a favourite of mine

Fav: All I Need Least Fav: Tical There’s a lot of hip hop albums that that I’ve enjoyed hearing for the first time through this list, this was really not one of them

Fav: Ready, Able Least Fav: Cheerleader Very frustrating mix of incredible songs and boring songs, should’ve cut it down a little

Fav: How To Mend A Broken Heart Least Fav: So You’re Leaving It’s aight, does enough to be good but not enough to be great

Fav: The Garden Of Earthly Delights Least Fav: The American Metaphysical Circus I’m scared

Fav: King’s Lead Hat Least Fav: Kurt’s Rejoinder Ok I can see why Brian Eno is a big deal

Fav: If You Have To Ask Least Fav: They’re Red Hot They play their instruments competently, but this is lost behind the atrocious lyrics and bloated track list which takes away from the charm of the actually good songs, which there aren’t many of. When they hit they do a decent job but the misses are the standouts, especially when it’s this long

Fav: Bhoop Least Fav: Rag Piloo Very calming, not much else to say

Fav: Here, There And Everywhere Least Fav: Doctor Robert Best Beatles album on the list so far, but some of the tracks feel like they’re missing something. It’s shocking that some of these songs were made in the 60s…

Fav: Kometenmelodie 2 Least Fav: Mitternacht Quite mesmerising

Fav: River Least Fav: Carey Yeah, she’s good

Fav: Fall In Love With Me Least Fav: Alien Nice enough album that loses steam after a strong start. Very impressive for 1979, I see where 80s groups got inspiration from

Fav: Every Day Should Be A Holiday Least Fav: Pete International Airport Turns out the quality of their music came down too

Fav: The World Is Yours Least Fav: One Love (feat. Q-Tip) Albums like these really make me want to get into hip hop, it just hits all the right notes for me

Fav: Cosmia Least Fav: Monkey & Bear It’s a Ys from me

Fav: Harry Flowers Least Fav: The Monkey King Very relaxing, but I couldn’t help but feel that the album dragged on towards the end. Still, it was an enjoyable album

Fav: Style Least Fav: Bad Blood Nothing against Taylor Swift or her fans but this just bored me. Style was the only song I genuinely liked

Fav: Life On Mars? Least Fav: Kooks After so many David Bowie albums that I’ve rated 4, I’ve finally found one worthy of a 5/5

Fav: The One Least Fav: Hot Dog I hate everything about this, and it’s confirmed that nu-metal was a mistake

Fav: Fight For Your Right Least Fav: Girls Very disappointed with this one, nowhere near as good as my previous Beastie Boys album. Songs like ‘Girls’ left me in disbelief that people thought that it was good enough to include on the album. Fight For Your Right is a great song but the gap in quality between that and the rest of the album is huge

Fav: Orange Crush Least Fav: Get Up Felt more orange than green

Fav: Bitches Brew Least Fav: John McLaughlin Freestyle jazz was hitting different in the background as I was doing my wordle and other NY Times games.

Fav: Walk On Least Fav: In A Little While I actually like Brian Eno’s production on this album quite a lot

Fav: Neon Lights Least Fav: Metropolis This made me feel like a retro-futuristic robot, and I enjoyed every second of it

Fav: Blue Orchid Least Fav: The Nurse

Fav: I Build This Garden For Us Least Fav: Freedom Train

Fav: The Heart Remains A Child Least Fav: Big Deal Thought the vocals were pretty boring

Fav: Add It Up Least Fav: To The Kill Got jumpscared expecting an all-woman punk album only to discover that this is an all-man folk punk album

Fav: Tarkus Least Fav: Are You Ready Eddy? Strange of them to end a prog rock album with a rock n roll tune

Fav: Pinball Wizard Least Fav: Overture Ngl I expected a lot more from this album, was hoping for more songs on the same level as Pinball Wizard. Interesting concept though

Fav: Sun Hits The Sky Least Fav: Sometimes I Make You Sad Hope they made a lot of money off of this album

Fav: When We Were Young Least Fav: I Miss You Adele doesn’t do much wrong per say, but it’s the lack of originality that’s holding her down

Fav: Eternal Life Least Fav: Bow Second half was better imo

Fav: Love Bites Least Fav: Excitable That just felt like one massive hour-long song, sooooo boring

Fav: Maseru Least Fav: Ingoo Pow-Pow (Children’s Song) For every track being long, this album didn’t feel like a slog

Fav: Purple Rain Least Fav: Darling Nikki About as good as that Purple Rain cocktail I had a while ago

Fav: Cry To Me Least Fav: Won’t You Give Him (One More Chance)

Fav: When You Love Least Fav: Calvary I especially loved the bits that sounded like being transported into psychedelic Silent Hill

Fav: Like A Rolling Stone Least Fav: It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry Unlike all of my previous attempts to enjoy Bob Dylan’s music, something has clicked and I get why his music is so revered. Incredible stuff

Fav: Can’t Let Go Least Fav: Concrete And Barbed Wire I’m so glad the second half was better, that first half had me truly bored

Fav: Stan Least Fav: Marshall Mathers I just don’t get Eminem

Fav: Southern Man Least Fav: Cripple Creek Ferry It’s competently made with a couple stand-out songs, but much of this did nothing for me

Fav: Revolution Least Fav: How Does It Feel Right now I’m feeling a Spacemen 3/5, could change later…

Fav: Terrapin Least Fav: No Good Trying These feel like demos to actual songs that resurface on YouTube, just very messy

Fav: Ray Of Light Least Fav: Skin It’s MAD to me that she’s ONNA roll with each song on the album. Sorry

Fav: Blue Sunday Least Fav: You Make Me Real Not usually a fan of blues rock, but The Doors just manage to make it interesting, so fair play to them

Fav: Rockin’ Stroll Least Fav: The Turnpike Down It’s a shame about The Lemonheads

Fav: Jamie’s Cryin Least Fav: You Really Got Me It was alright I guess

Fav: Black Hole Sun Least Fav: Let Me Drown

Fav: Waltz Of The New Moon Least Fav: The Water Song This is nowhere near as bad as some are suggesting

Fav: Last Bongo In Belgium Least Fav: Dueling Bongos Dare I say, too many bongos?

Fav: I Am The Resurrection Least Fav: Don’t Stop It’s a real shame they only made one album and nothing more

Fav: Knights Of Cydonia Least Fav: Soldier’s Poem Muse are my all-time favourite band and they’ve always meant so much to me. This album is superb and I’m saddened to find out this is the only muse album on the last, alas atleast there’s one. This is another album I consider flawless

Fav: The Fairest Of Seasons Least Fav: It Was A Pleasure Then I actually like Nico’s vocals, but some of these songs really do overstay their welcome

Fav: This Is A Low Least Fav: Lot 105 Shoutout to all the people who gave this it’s rightful 5/5. Blur are without a doubt one of the 90s best bands

Fav: Y Control Least Fav: Date With The Night Had me thinking no no no for most of the album

Fav: A Certain Romance Least Fav: Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But… It’s peak, another 5/5

Fav: Sleigh Ride Least Fav: Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers Got me in the Christmas spirit, and that’s all I can ask for

Fav: Becalmed Least Fav: Sky Saw Rough start, but man some of those ambient tracks are beautiful. Eno does ethereal so well

Fav: I’m Set Free Least Fav: The Murder Mystery Better than their album w/ Nico imo

Fav: Bloodsport Least Fav: Wardance Not a complete joke

Fav: Anarchy In The UK Least Fav: Liar

Fav: You Don’t Know Me Least Fav: Hey, Good Lookin’ He made a really nice blues album, and that’s an achievement in itself

Fav: Dead Bodies Everywhere Least Fav: All In The Family (feat. Fred Durst) At its worst, it’s amusingly bad, but some of the songs do go hard af, a noticeable improvement from fellow nu-metal group Limp Bizkit and their tragic album that’s on this list

Fav: A House Is Not A Motel Least Fav: Live And Let Live I didn’t love this…

Fav: Slick Least Fav: Changes Enough to be pleasant, not enough to be interesting

Fav: Get It Right The First Time Least Fav: Just The Way You Are

Fav: Most Of Us Are Sad Least Fav: Nightingale I had a normal night and I’m indifferent about the fuckin Eagles man

Fav: Homesick Least Fav: Factory Is this just the Australian child of Nirvana and Oasis? Yes. Do I love it in spite of that? Also yes

Fav: Al Hassidi Terei Least Fav: Wayei

Fav: Child In Time Least Fav: Bloodsucker Only knew Speed King from this album, but Child In Time is the real highlight. The rest is decent enough, but I fear I may have forgotten about it by next week

Fav: Another Girl, Another Planet Least Fav: Creature Of Doom Think it drags a little in the second half but that first half is back to back perfect songs. This is the sorta stuff I like to see. Also shout out to having a song unironically called Creature Of Doom, that’s what I like to see from song names

Fav: Comfortably Numb Least Fav: Bring The Boys Back Home Honestly I love everything about this except for the transition songs, I get why they exist but they’re pretty bland. Scrap most of them and you get a 5/5 album

Fav: Can I Sleep In Your Arms Least Fav: Time Of The Preacher Theme Felt like by the time I was starting to enjoy a song, it would end and another similar sounding song would take its place. Thankfully the second half had songs longer than 2 minutes

Fav: Show Me The Way - Live Least Fav: I Wanna Go To The Sun - Live Usually hate double live albums, but Frampton has pleasantly surprised me here. Not as bad as I expected an album under the Hard Rock genre to be

Fav: Balloon Burning Least Fav: I See You

Fav: Won’t Get Fooled Again Least Fav: Going Mobile CSI Miami jumpscare

Fav: Would You Believe? Least Fav: Bitters End It’s a 3 for now, undecided on how I feel but you can tell Brian Eno was part of this

Fav: Two Tribes Least Fav: Including The Ballad Of 32 Bit too 80s for my liking, and also wtf were those interludes? Drags on but pulls you back in for The Power Of Love

Fav: Same Ole Love (365 Days A Week) Least Fav: Watch Your Step Just standard soul tbh, nothing to really say - it’s just average

Fav: The Girl From Ipanema Least Fav: Doralice Such a relaxing and cozy album, it Getz a 5/5 from me

Fav: Wild West End Least Fav: Down To The Waterline That first half bored me so much I fell asleep. The second half atleast proved it wasn’t as Dire as I expected it to be. Second half is actually chill instead of boring

Fav: Exiles Least Fav: Larks’ Tongue In Aspic (Part I) Did they get paid extra for each second that they use percussion?

Fav: Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) Least Fav: Right On Got me out of a bad mood, so I’m very appreciative of this album

Fav: People Hold On Least Fav: Smoke Dis One There’s elements of some of the songs that suggest that they can cook, but it’s just ruined by repetition and some questionable sample choices. Quite frustrating, especially considering how good the first song is

Fav: Theme From Shaft Least Fav: Do Your Thing Do Your Thing going the Oasis route of being atleast 5-10 mins too long

Fav: Mysterious Semblance At The Strand Of Nightmares Least Fav: Phaedra Felt like I was floating through space

Fav: Straight Outta Compton Least Fav: I Ain’t Tha 1

Fav: Live Good Least Fav: The Invasion Nice bit of reggae, not much else to say

Fav: After Eight Least Fav: E-Musik This was something NEU! to me, and it was a pleasant surprise

Fav: I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself Least Fav: Little Acorns Was hoping I’d enjoy it more, but unfortunately the songs I’d heard beforehand weren’t indicative of the quality of the overall album

Fav: C.R.E.A.M (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) Least Fav: Da Mystery Of Chessboxin’ The talk about torture techniques was certainly a choice that was made

Fav: One Horse Town Least Fav: Just Travelling Through

Fav: China Girl Least Fav: Sister Midnight They named an album after me

Fav: Psycho Killer Least Fav: Tentative Decisions Talking Heads are a band I’ve really got into this year, and it’s surprising I’ve not heard the debut until now. It’s surprisingly good, but it’s lacking a couple things that get fixed in later albums

Fav: If I Should Die Tonight Least Fav: You Sure Love To Ball

Fav: The Voice Within Least Fav: Get Mine, Get Yours I’ll be honest, I don’t care for about 3/4 of this album, but that 1/4 is pretty good

Fav: The Rockafeller Skank Least Fav: Fucking In Heaven Heard all of these already in nightclubs, nice surprise

Fav: Helter Skelter Least Fav: Revolution 9 Helter Skelter is the best Beatles song imo

Fav: Ruiner Least Fav: Piggy So many good songs, but I hope Trent Reznor is doing alright atm

Fav: Whispering Pines Least Fav: Rag Mama Rag The Band prove to be a good band by making a country rock album that sounds pretty good for its length. It’s a shame many forgot this simple trick when making their own albums

Fav: Layla Least Fav: I Am Yours The less bluesier it got, the better it was. However I’m not gonna forgive this website for forcing me to listen to over an hour of Clapton

Fav: Bohemian Rhapsody Least Fav: Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon Decent album, but Bohemian Rhapsody is a classic for a reason

Fav: Black Least Fav: Once Nearly a Ten/10

Fav: Jump Least Fav: Drop Dead Legs

Fav: Alright Least Fav: We’re Not Supposed To Turns out, this band is more than alright - they’re incredible! With this and the other Supergrass album on this list, I’ve become a massive fan. Love the punkier vibes on this but the second half lulled a little. Still very good and I’m happy this website has allowed me to discover artists like this

Fav: A Change Is Gonna Come Least Fav: Rock Me Baby Otis Purple

Fav: Blue Moon Rose Least Fav: The Night I Heard Caruso Sing Whilst this was the better of the two, how have they got two albums on this list, not to mention the countless Tracey Thorn feature jumpscares on other albums

Fav: Do You Realize?? Least Fav: Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, Pt. 2 Making me both feel like I’m floating through space whilst also hitting me with the happy tears, fair play

Fav: The Prettiest Star Least Fav: Panic In Detroit This list wants me to be a Bowie fan so badly and it’s working

Fav: Livin’ On A Prayer Least Fav: Without Love I mean it’s a safe metal album, but it’s less egregious than other hair metal albums on this list…

Fav: One Least Fav: Blackened I just don’t think I’ll ever get Metallica, an hour of them felt torturous

Fav: There She Goes Least Fav: Way Out For being perfectionists, the end result is just so…nothing outside a couple good songs

Fav: Don’t Go Nowhere Least Fav: Some Kind Of Kink Massive Attack if they went crazy experimental + a little sprinkle of Portishead in that one song

Fav: Love Came Tumblin’ Down Least Fav: Monk Time Velvet Underground if they had joined the military

Fav: 22 Acacia Avenue Least Fav: Hallowed Be Thy Name Just like the traditional Iron Maiden we see in pop culture, I assumed that a good metal album was a myth, but Iron Maiden the band have proven me wrong. Maybe metal isn’t so bad after all

Fav: Liquid Bird Least Fav: Space In the running for most boring album on this list, and not harmless boring that’s atleast easy listening - this is the sorta stuff that makes you think it’s nearly finished only to find out you’ve got another 25 minutes left

Fav: Love Woke Me Up This Morning Least Fav: Run Charlie Run

Fav: Disposable Heroes Least Fav: The Thing That Should Not Be Ok fine, I’ll concede defeat: Metallica can make a good album

Fav: Spanish Dancer Least Fav: Slowdown Sundown I’m seeing some comparisons to Phil Collins, but come on guys this is better than any of his solo work

Fav: Tin Tin Deo Least Fav: Oyeme

Fav: 5th Season Least Fav: All The Pictures On The Wall He’s certainly competent and can create decent music, but nothing I’ve heard from any of his projects on this list have convinced me he can consistently make great music. Theres a lot of dull between the impressive stuff

Fav: The Court Of The Crimson King - Including “The Return Of The Fire Witch” and “The Dance Of The Puppets” Least Fav: Moonchild - Including “The Dream” and “The Illusion” Inject this into my veins NOW

Fav: Get It On Least Fav: The Motivator Not much to say, but I do think the album cover goes hard af

Fav: Have You Seen Her Face Least Fav: Mind Gardens Impressive for the 60s, but that’s it

Fav: Light My Fire Least Fav: The End I’m shocked at how much quality is on each individual song, with none standing out as a weak link. Even amongst my 5s, I could atleast see one song weaker than the rest. Great stuff

Fav: Pearl Of The Quarter Least Fav: Razor Boy Dad rock with a side dish of jazz, has some good moments but nothing too impressive overall

Fav: Leaving The Table Least Fav: You Want It Darker Title track isn’t even bad, just that the rest is better imo. Def getting Blackstar vibes from this, and it will get the same rating

Fav: Bear Witness Least Fav: A Visit To The Gynecologyst Liked the beats, but an hour of the rapping really brought it down for me

Fav: Chain Gang Least Fav: Somebody Have Mercy

Fav: Kamikaze Least Fav: Beautiful Feeling She really likes New York I guess ft Thom Yorke for some reason

Fav: Kids Least Fav: The Handshake Finding a least fav song was difficult, it’s just banger after banger, the nostalgia helps too

Fav: All My Friends Least Fav: Get Innocuous! More like Sound of Cowbell

Fav: The 6th Sense Least Fav: Dooinit Second half much more interesting than the first

Fav: Something Least Fav: Maxwell’s Silver Hammer No wonder this is always fighting with Rumours for the honour of being the highest rated album on this website, I get it now

Fav: Nine Pound Hammer Least Fav: It Won’t Get Better This is just a lesser version of Bob Dylan (but it’s not bad at all)

Fav: On The Beach Least Fav: For The Turnstiles Death Stranding 2

Fav: Candle Least Fav: Kissability They must’ve made a deal with the devil to lessen their ability to sing in exchange for extreme tinnitus-inducing distortion. I wouldn’t have it any other way

Fav: The Bottle Least Fav: H2OGate Blues So hard to decide a fav and least fav, consistently good quality

Fav: Get Me Away From Here, I’m Dying Least Fav: The Stars Of Track & Field There’s no Belle and there’s no Sebastian either, what’s with the band name?

Fav: Heaven & Hell (feat. Ghostface Killah) Least Fav: Spot Rusherz The most impressive part is 18 songs and no misses, with some fantastic and varied beats on top of that

Fav: That’s The Way Of The World Least Fav: All About Love (First Impression) As someone who only knew their big hits, this was a nice surprise

Fav: Love Removal Machine Least Fav: Born To Be Wild This level of sell-out is pathetic, the change away from gothic rock definitely seems wrong if this album came from it

Fav: Stubbor Problems Least Fav: No Shame Incredible, really surprised by this one. Not a single song was anything less than amazing. Currently searching for afrobeat playlists rn

Fav: Peaches En Regalia Least Fav: The Gumbo Variations This is Frank Zappa’s redemption arc after The Mothers Of Invention

Fav: Blue Cafe Least Fav: A Gospel It’s got a bit of everything, unfortunately that includes Paul Weller rapping

Fav: Low Life Least Fav: Fodderstompf For 3 songs, you’re reminded that John Lydon can create decent music, only for the final 2 songs to question whether you were right to believe that

Fav: My Sweet Lord Least Fav: I Dig Love Dreaded this as it’s a triple album, only to discover that George Harrison may infact be the GOAT

Fav: September Song Least Fav: Don’t Get Around Much Anymore I cannot believe I’m giving a country album a 5/5 but here we are. This list is def making me rethink my biases against the genre for sure

Fav: Under The Boardwalk Least Fav: Tom Tom Theme Shows that it wasn’t just David Byrne who made Talking Heads work

Fav: Red Eyes Least Fav: The Haunting Idle “We have The Killers at home” The Killers at home:

Fav: Hotel California Least Fav: Life In The Fast Line A lil better than the other Eagles album on here, but at the end of the day it’s sadly still just the same old Eagles

Fav: Anyway The Wind Blows Least Fav: The Return Of The Son Of Monster Magnet Generating this album on April Fool’s Day was an omen. It’s great to have a laugh at, but for listening it’s absolutely terrible. What do you mean the last song is 12 minutes???????

Fav: Sweeter Memories Least Fav: Song Of The Viking Sides 1 and 4 are basically perfect, 2 and 3 lull a little bit which is unfortunate because this could easily be a 5/5 if it was cut down a little

Fav: Tubular Bells - Pt. 1 Least Fav: Tubular Bells - Pt. 2 I’d say just get rid of the weird caveman vocals and it’s a 5, some of this was truly beautiful such as the ending parts of Part 1, but those vocals kind of took me out of the vibe

Fav: She’s Leaving Home Least Fav: Within You Without You Justice for She’s Leaving Home, one of the more underrated Beatles songs

Fav: Firefly Child Least Fav: Identity That scream at the beginning is a litmus test to see who can handle the pure punk emitting from the tracks, the blues explosion if you will

Fav: …Baby One More Time Least Fav: Soda Pop One trick pony, the album. Britney’s voice is really good but can only go so far when it’s quite repetitive

Fav: Killing Me Softly With His Song Least Fav: How Many Mics

Fav: 10 Dollar Least Fav: Pull Up The People Really wanted to give this a 4, but whenever there’s a really good beat, M.I.A manages to ruin it in some form, with Bingo being the best example

Fav: Policy Of Truth Least Fav: World In My Eyes Yeah I can def see how Pet Shop Boys were inspired by this

Fav: The Good, The Bad & The Queen Least Fav: History Song Gets the worst of it out the way and locks in towards the end. Outside of a few near production choices I felt it was kinda bland and not nearly as interesting as a supergroup of such high quality musicians should realistically be expected to do

Fav: Raised On Robbery Least Fav: Court And Spark I think the jazzier she makes her music, the more I like it

Fav: Mary Least Fav: Comfortably Numb Whilst I didn’t love that cover of Comfortably Numb, I respect that they transformed it into a campy disco vibe, like with the rest of the album

Fav: Blow Your Mind Least Fav: Hooked Up Special shout-out to the synths, they make the good stuff better and saves the average songs from being bad. Not bad for my 300th album

Fav: Pyramids Least Fav: Pilot Jones Orange is the best colour, so it’s no surprise that an album titled ‘Channel Orange’ is actually pretty good

Fav: What “U” Waitin’ “4”? Least Fav: Kool Accordin’ “2” A Jungle Brother Liked what it had to say, didn’t like the length

Fav: I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry Least Fav: Mining For Gold Some nice haunting vocals with a very Lynchian feel to the music, just thought it went on for a bit too long

Fav: In My Mind Least Fav: Liberty For Our Friend Bass went kinda crazy ngl

Fav: Velouria Least Fav: Is She Weird Believe this is the 3rd and final Pixies album on the list, and my conclusion is that they made a few great songs on otherwise ok albums. Most of the songs were pleasant enough but not memorable

Fav: Who Says A Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?! Least Fav: Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers) Lyrics like the one about the fear of being eaten by a sandwich are why I enjoy albums like these

Fav: There She Goes, My Beautiful World Least Fav: Abbatoir Blues Individually, Abattoir Blues is a 4/5 and The Lyre Of Orpheus is a 5/5, however I think it’s a 5 overall. I assumed that Nick Cave was a singer-songwriter but to my surprise this album had a lot more rock than I had anticipated, another pleasant surprise from the list

Fav: Search And Destroy Least Fav: Penetration Loved the album but yeesh, you can really tell that they mixed it in 1 day. That out of sync drum in penetration was particularly noticeable

Fav: I.G.Y. Least Fav: Green Flower Street Yeah I’m not surprised this was a Steely Dan solo project

Fav: Unsatisfied Least Fav: Answering Machine Fair play to making a song about having a boner sound so damn good

Fav: I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) Least Fav: More Fool Me Ok fair play, Peter Gabriel and co were cooking with this, just wish the best parts of the songs lasted longer

Fav: Blame It On Cain Least Fav: Sneaky Feelings The first of many for Costello, if all of his stuff is this good then I’m not complaining

Fav: Fit But You Know It Least Fav: Get Out Of My House Always liked Fit But You Know It, shame that the album is just kinda terrible with a lack of flow

Fav: Street Waves Least Fav: Life Stinks By far the most unique album I’ve come across so far, and I actually somewhat like it? Maybe it’s because I listened to it whilst in a bad mood but the craziness spoke to me and I enjoyed it. Whilst I think it goes a little too off the rails in the middle, it pulls around for an overall satisfying experience. Very happy I listened to something this unique

Fav: Sara Least Fav: The Ledge I think a double album of Fleetwood Mac was just a bit too much for me

Fav: Little Wing Least Fav: Up From The Skies Hearing Little Wing made me realise how badly Eric Clapton butchered it

Fav: Stay Clean - Live In England 1981 Least Fav: Capricorn - Live In England 1981 They’ve got one thing they repeat, but the energy in each song makes me unable to hate it, even with Lemmy’s cigarette smoking raspy vocals

Fav: Sea Song Least Fav: Alife Hitting rock bottom never sounded so good, cos wtf this greatly exceeded my expectations

Fav: I Love You Because Least Fav: Blue Moon Revolutionary in the 50s and only in the 50s

Fav: If You Want Blood (You Got It) Least Fav: Night Prowler They’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, they’re just playing what they know best, and it’s not bad

Fav: Quality Seconds Least Fav: I Wish I Had Duck Feet Made a shopping trip a hell of a lot more interesting, always grateful for that

Fav: Church Least Fav: Where Are My Panties The correct opinion is Speakerboxxx > The Love Below (but they’re both good in their own ways)

Fav: Heavy Metal Drummer Least Fav: I’m Trying To Break Your Heart Simply incredible, if you were trying to break my heart with this album you’ve failed

Fav: Always Crashing In The Same Car Least Fav: Subterraneans Sound And Vision was my first Bowie song so I’m def nostalgic towards it, and I think the first half is consistently good. I do think this has the same issue as Heroes where the ambient half, whilst still good, isn’t on the same level as the first half

Fav: I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better Least Fav: We’ll Meet Again

Fav: Never Let Me Down Again Least Fav: I Want You Now Don’t be fooled by the opener, it’s an average at best album

Fav: Private Dancer Least Fav: Better Be Good To Me Her voice is really good, but that 80s production will never sound good to me, it ruins some of the songs

Fav: Headache Least Fav: Sir Rockaby I think individually these are all great songs, but there’s not enough variety to justify it being a double album. Album length is all that’s stopping me giving this a 5, and I’m surprised that I like this more than his work as part of Pixies

Fav: In The Backseat Least Fav: Neighbourhood #4: (7 Kettles) Those last couple songs were so much better than the rest of the album

Fav: The Suburbs Least Fav: Modern Man I don’t really care much for the album but the title track brings me so much nostalgia so I’m always thankful for that

Fav: In The End Least Fav: Points Of Authority Contender for the most dated album on this list?

Fav: Perfect Places Least Fav: The Louvre Really hoped this would do something for me, but it just left me feeling empty

Fav: Find The River Least Fav: New Orleans Instrumental No. 1 At worst, R.E.M are consistently good, and it feels nice to have an artist that I can rely on to not make something terrible

Fav: Pretty In Pink Least Fav: I Wanna Sleep With You Don’t know to how feel, vocals were kinda mid and the weird saxophone was a bit hit-or-miss, but some of the songs have started to grow on me. I guess it’s a 3/5

Fav: Butterfly Least Fav: Mombasstic This is where I find out that Ambient DnB mixed with Asian instruments is secretly what I’ve been waiting for (as a big fan of the Sitar)

Fav: Killer Queen Least Fav: Dear Friends Finally! A Queen album without a bunch of filler songs

Fav: Doves In The Wind (feat. Kendrick Lamar) Least Fav: Pretty Little Birds (feat. Isaiah Rashad) Just goes to show that modern music is in fact good, and is much better than what many would have you believe

Fav: Outtasite (Outta Mind) Least Fav: Forget The Flowers Currently adding Wilco to my list of artists to properly get into, there stuff in this list has been nothing short of incredible. It’s so varied for country rock

Fav: Bad Moon Rising Least Fav: Sinister Purpose Should just be called ‘Bad Moon Rising and some other songs that are ok at best’

Fav: Devil In A New Dress Least Fav: Blame Game Loved this album, but things like that terrible Chris Rock bit at the end of Blame Game can really ruin the flow. However, most of the other songs are pretty much perfect, just needs cutting down a lil. Also shout out to JAY-Z’s verse in Monster, man really took the time to name as many monsters as he can remember

Fav: Heads Will Roll Least Fav: Little Shadow Always nice to recognise a song you had no idea was on the album, especially if it’s a banger like Heads Will Roll is

Fav: Just A Gigolo/ I Ain’t Got Nobody - Medley Least Fav: Body And Soul As with most of the 1950s music on the list, it’s alright ig

Fav: It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) Least Fav: Oddfellows Local 151 R.E.Mbo No. 5 is a good album, even with that odd closer

Fav: Moonlight On Vermont Least Fav: China Pig I cannot do a double album with this sound, 12 songs in and I felt despair at the fact I wasn’t even halfway through the album. Tom Waits brought a jazz band and decides to beat you up with jazz instruments in every song that’s not spoken word

Fav: Till Your Well Runs Dry Least Fav: Legalize It With this challenge, the reggae picks are yet to let me down. Long may this continue

Fav: Blue Turk Least Fav: Public Animal #9 More varied than expected for blues rock

Fav: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Least Fav: Lady Of The Island Just as good without Neil Young involved

Fav: Rags To Rags Least Fav: Susan’s House Had no idea they worked on pretty much every Shrek film’s soundtrack

Fav: Sugar Least Fav: CUBErt If there’s one thing I took from this album it’s that I don’t know if I hate the vocals or not, but those guitars can shred that’s for sure

Fav: I Shall Be Released Least Fav: In A Station It’s good, but I think that the self-titled album pulls this off better

Fav: Parallel Universe Least Fav: Get On Top It’s insane how much of a downgrade that second half was, WOW

Fav: You Make Me Feel So Young Least Fav: How About You? The Sinatra classic, individually great songs that grow tiresome on an album where songs have similar structures and repeat themselves ad nauseaum

Fav: Celeste Least Fav: Ferris Wheel Need to hear more songs like Celeste, that’s up there with the best Bob Dylan songs

Fav: Sharp Dressed Man Least Fav: I Need You Tonight Didn’t mind the big hits but it’s the classic case of boring, one-note songs that you get with most of these types of rock albums

Fav: Hate To Say I Told You So Least Fav: Supply And Demand Strange that it’s a compilation instead of a standard album, but I like it enough to let it slide. I was worried every song would sound the same but they’ve done well to keep it unique, overall a quick and fun time

Fav: Open Up The Red Box Least Fav: Heaven Not much to say, it’s simply ok. What’s not simply ok was that cover of Heaven, the original is one of my favourite songs and I respect it for trying something new, but I just didn’t like it

Fav: GO! Least Fav: The Corner Don’t need a PhD to tell you that this is a flawless album

Fav: The Chain Least Fav: Never Going Back Again Ok fair enough, I can see why it’s the highest rated album on the website

Fav: Monkey Least Fav: I Want Your Sex - Pts. 1 & 2 Dutch Van Der Linde approves of this album

Fav: Good To My Baby Least Fav: When I Grow Up (To Be A Man) It’s a one trick pony album, but the trick is…decent. The harmonising is pretty nice but some variety would’ve made it incredible

Fav: Gentle On My Mind Least Fav: Power Of My Love I’ll give him this, he came a long way from his debut

Fav: Jennifer Least Fav: The Sad Skinhead The best parts were when they were not singing, loved the atmosphere they were able to create

Fav: Miss Chatelaine Least Fav: Tears Of Love’s Recall Miss Chatelaine and Season Of Hollow Soul put me in a good mood, I just wish that more of the songs had that vibe but I still like that chill vibe

Fav: B-Boy Bouillabaisse: A Year And A Day Least Fav: High Plains Drifter Sound Of Science onwards it really locks in. Really enjoyed

Fav: Penguin Cafe Single Least Fav: Zopf: Milk Not bad for my 1 year anniversary for starting this challenge. I’m pretty far behind but I’ve enjoyed it a lot so far, so many genres and artists discovered. Looking forward to the rest

Fav: Sympathy For The Devil Least Fav: Factory Girl A pretty stellar first half, but I really didn’t care for some of the stuff on the second half like Prodigal Son and Factory Girl

Fav: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart Least Fav: Lion In Winter So you choose to include some Bee Gees, and not feature their disco music which everyone knows them for. And you instead include this album of boring songs with some dreadful vocals at times and uninspired songs?! At least the first song is alright I guess…

Fav: Four Women Least Fav: If I Should Lose You

Fav: God Bless The Child Least Fav: And When I Die Jazz rock was not what I expected, thought this would be a proper country rock album. Even with the classical music covers I think it’s alright in spite of it being all over the place

Fav: Smooth Criminal Least Fav: Speed Demon Smooth Criminal is up there in the ranks of songs that save an album from being completely average, it’s back must be aching

Fav: Walk On By Least Fav: By The Time I Get To Phoenix Great album all around but shoutout to Walk On By for being an incredible song

Fav: Alabama Least Fav: Are You Ready For The Country? It's alright, and that disappoints me. Outside of a couple songs not much really stuck out, unlike some of his other albums

Fav: All My Trials Least Fav: Donna Donna Fantastic voice, I think it really elevates a good album into something incredible

Fav: Gravity’s Rainbow Least Fav: Isle Of Her I mean it’s alright, but why is this on the list?

Fav: Piece Of My Heart Least Fav: I Need A Man To Love I’m just bored of most blues music tbh

Fav: I Wish I Didn’t Love You So Least Fav: Don’t Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes Her voice is so good when she hits those high notes wow

Fav: Venus As A Boy Least Fav: The Anchor Song 50% experimental electronic bangers, 50% saxophone, 100% chance of enjoyment for me

Fav: Country Girl Least Fav: Almost Cut My Hair Neil Young always finding a way to feature in this list, just when you think his solo career isn’t enough

Fav: Back At The Chicken Shack Least Fav: Minor Chant Some nice easy-listening jazz, but outside of the title track I didn’t care for it much

Fav: Hotwax Least Fav: Novacane Had to do a double take when the Wikipedia article listed the different genres it covers, sadly not as good as the genre list made it appear to be :(

Fav: Rain Dogs Least Fav: 9th & Hennepin Wouldn’t be surprised if Tom Waits was a pirate in a past life

Fav: At The Chime Of A City Clock Least Fav: Introduction This felt like it was made for me, it’s everything I’ve wanted from a folk album, I’m very happy with it

Fav: Been Caught Stealing Least Fav: Of Course Think the name of the album is better than any of the songs

Fav: Raise The Dead Least Fav: At War With Satan (Introduction) A metal album, of which I’m listening to on a busy train, should be a sign of disaster but no I actually thought it was alright…just as long as you avoid the edgy teenager lyrics

Fav: Let Down Least Fav: Fitter Happier Yeah this is straight up one of the greatest albums ever made. Every song has so much care put into it, and the themes of anxiety for the future as well as this sense of hopelessness are conveyed very well, and I am so glad I’ve heard most of these songs live as they’re very special to me. You’ll struggle to find many albums better than this

Fav: Pretty Hurts Least Fav: Blow Beyoncé’s voice is so good as usual, but I think this was the wrong album to showcase her talents. She needs at least 1 more

Fav: Cajun Woman Least Fav: Million Dollar Bash Nice bit of English folk music, but it never explains what the album title means…

Fav: Peace Of Mind Least Fav: Smokin’ Distinct lack of alien abductions or other UFO related activities

Fav: The World Is A Ghetto Least Fav: Four Cornered Room Crazy sax soloes AND crazy harmonica soloes? I’m spoiled

Fav: Powderfinger Least Fav: Ride My Llama Even though my fav song is on the grungier b-side and my least fav song is on the folk rock a-side, I’m surprised by my preference towards side A

Fav: Surrender Least Fav: The Refugee U2 hate is boring and should only apply to their iTunes album

Fav: Inside Least Fav: The Sky Is Broken It’s very rare to have an album where everything song is perfect

Fav: I Wanna Be Your Dog Least Fav: We Will Fall I Wanna Be Your Dog for next Christmas no 1?

Fav: Married With Children Least Fav: Up In The Sky I was always Team Blur, but I can admit that Oasis had a strong start before they faded out. Many of the songs here are very nostalgic and I appreciate them, but Oasis’ album bloat problem has always existed. None of these songs needed to be 5 minutes

Fav: Breakout Least Fav: Wonderful Place / Waiting For You Surprised I enjoyed this so much, I guess this and The ArchAndroid have shown me that albums that can successfully mix rock, jazz and hip hop together are my weakness

Fav: Blue Is Green Least Fav: All Blues

Fav: Skies Over Cairo Least Fav: Zumm Zumm I was waiting for it to end, and it felt like I was waiting for an eternity, I think one of the reviews comparing it to The Beta Band encapsulated why I dislike this album

Fav: Hangar 18 Least Fav: Dawn Patrol

Fav: Magic Bus - Live Least Fav: Summertime Blues - Live

Fav: Santa Cruz Least Fav: Give The Po’ Man A Break Celebrating 400 albums with a good album! Credit to Fatboy Slim, you can always tell when it’s his music, he just has that uniqueness to his mixing

Fav: Iron Man Least Fav: Rat Salad Surprised how much of this I already knew, but aside from that it’s a decent album that I appreciate more than their debut. Metal just isn’t really my thing ig

Fav: Key To Love Least Fav: Another Man Dreaded this album but no, it’s actually pretty good even with Eric Clapton

Fav: A Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes Least Fav: The Partisan It’s missing something, which is preventing a full 5/5, but I really did enjoy what I heard

Fav: Whatever It Takes Least Fav: My Girl It’s Aerosmith, it’s ok, it’s basic

Fav: Grumpus Least Fav: You Masculine You Country is listenable to me when it has an alt vibe, and this is no exception. Thoroughly enjoyed

Fav: San Quentin Least Fav: Starkville City Jail Johnny Cash just oozes charisma, even if this album was terrible I still would appreciate how he works with the audience

Fav: Weather With You Least Fav: She Goes On It’s an alright album but some of these songs are so nostalgic so I can’t hate on it

Fav: The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill Least Fav: Lost Ones Had high expectations, with this being ranked the best ever album by Apple. And whilst I dispute that claim, I can def see its justification. The title track was simply incredible

Fav: Hell Is Round The Corner Least Fav: You Don’t We all know it’s a fantastic album, but my hot take is that the sample in Glory Box by Portishead is better used in this album

Fav: Visions Of You Least Fav: Rising Above Bedlam Catchy and full of ideas, but a terrible lead vocalist ruins what could’ve been a great album

Fav: Make You Feel My Love Least Fav: Can’t Wait For 1997, this is impressive stuff. Usually I assume that 50s/60s artists fade out of relevance by the 90s but not Bob, he was still kicking

Fav: Kashmir Least Fav: Black Country Woman I wrote them off but they’ve continued to impress me so my bad sorry for that. A double album with no bad songs is a great feat and is quite rare too

Fav: Groovin’ Least Fav: If You Knew What a terrible album cover, I’ll be seeing that in my nightmares

Fav: Dirty Old Town Least Fav: The Gentleman Soldier These definitely sounded better blasting from the speakers of the Irish bars

Fav: Cashing In Least Fav: Little Friend The intensity never lets up it’s great! Vocals on the other hand

Fav: Positive Vibrations Least Fav: Old Pervert

Fav: Shangri-La Least Fav: Arthur More proof that having a main character called Arthur Morgan in a piece of media automatically makes it good

Fav: A.D. 2000 Least Fav: Cleva I’m usually intimidated by albums over an hour long by artists I’ve never heard of before, but I’m glad I gave this a shot. Some nice chill vibes that I can see where current artists have used Erykah as inspiration

Fav: Crocodiles Least Fav: Pride One of those albums that I was about to write off before immediately reaching the best songs

Fav: Soy Loco Por Ti América Least Fav: Tropicália The music is good and all but that album cover might be one of my favourites and I’m not sure why, but yeah the music is consistently great the whole way through

Fav: Diminuendo And Crescendo In Blue Least Fav: Blues To Be There That last song is just 14 minutes of pure amazing jazz

Fav: White Rabbit Least Fav: Comin’ Back To Me It’s weird to think they went from this to re-naming and creating that We Built This City On Rock And Roll song, what went wrong

Fav: The Age Of Pamparius Least Fav: Good Head Expected some sort of Norwegian death metal ala Napalm Death, got something that was so much better. More of this please

Fav: Two Doves Least Fav: The Bride Wtf was this, complete nonsense that every now and then had some cool parts that I could appreciate

Fav: Longue Route Least Fav: La Fille De La Mort It was enjoyable, but I wish it had more of a frantic energy ala Nine Inch Nails. Loved the guitars and orchestral samples but I needed more from them

Fav: Three D Mambo Least Fav: Hong Kong Mambo Impossible to be in a bad mood after listening

Fav: Come On Eileen Least Fav: Until I Believe In My Soul This should’ve been the only album of theirs on the list. Would not have given these guys so much of my time by choice…atleast this is a good album

Fav: Plateau Least Fav: We’re Here Prefer these to the Nirvana MTV versions tbh

Fav: Ladies First Least Fav: Mama Gave Birth To The Soul Children It’s alright ig. Very standard hip hop album but not a bad one

Fav: Frou-Frou Foxes In Midsummer Fires Least Fav: Road, River And Rail Wow. I simultaneously felt like I was floating in space whilst also getting flashbacks to my childhood. I’ve never experienced this before in an album, simply perfect

Fav: Love Battery Least Fav: You Tear Me Up

Fav: Oh, California! Least Fav: Midnight Carousel Idk how a guy averaging 5000 monthly listeners has made it into this list but let’s just say 5000 is way too little a number for the quality that was being produced, this is fantastic stuff

Fav: Rodeo Drive (High Steppin’) Least Fav: The Hustler I want more of this, NOW

Fav: Lonely Weekend Least Fav: Mother Another lovely surprise, this album helps prove to me that country sounds best when it barely sounds like country (there are some exceptions however)

Fav: If I Was A Woman Least Fav: I’m Partial To Your Abracadabra Love a bit of geezer-core. Wasn’t amazing but I appreciated a nice bit of British early punk. Sad that it didn’t have the song about hitting me with your rhythm stick :(

Fav: Remember Least Fav: Kelly Watch The Stars So chill, dare I say it is the chillest of the chill

Fav: Caligari’s Mirror Least Fav: Navvy Well this time I was sober for the Pere Ubu album, and I enjoyed it just as much as the other so it’s a 3/5. Expected some unintelligible experimental nonsense and it was actually only somewhat like that

Fav: Bingo Bango Least Fav: Yo Yo I really vibed with the second half, but some choices in the first half (such as that godawful auto tune) really let down what could’ve been a 5/5 album

Fav: What’s The Ugliest Part Of Your Body? Least Fav: The Chrome Plated Megaphone Of Destiny A song on this album is called Hot Poop, tells you all you need to know about this mistake of an album. Omg the final song is 6 minutes long???????

Fav: Streets Of Your Town Least Fav: Clouds The definition of ok, harmless and sometimes catchy but it’s lacking inspiration

Fav: Up Against The Wall Motherfucker Least Fav: Meatmaker The same song copy and pasted. Should’ve been 30 mins but thankfully the one idea they had wasn’t too bad

Fav: New York, New York Least Fav: Somehow, Someday If this was like 30 mins maybe I’d feel something, but it’s so bloated and boring. It scares me that he originally wanted this to be longer

Fav: Surrender Least Fav: Hello There Not much to say, wasn’t a big fan outside a couple songs and it was pretty generic. Boring

Fav: (Are You) The One That I’ve Been Waiting For? Least Fav: Black Hair I’ve heard two very different Nick Cave albums now, I’m hoping that his subsequent ones continue this trend cos he seems to do a good job. I just tbh ink I prefer some of his faster stuff such as some of his stuff on Abbatoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus

Fav: Isn’t She Lovely Least Fav: Love’s In Need Of Love Today He woke up and decided to make the best soul album ever, and he succeeded

Fav: I Shall Be Free Least Fav: Bob Dylan’s Blues Bob Dylan try not to use a harmonica after speaking every 5 words

Fav: Open Up Least Fav: Afro Left Open Up is such a tune. All of these songs are definitely danceable but I wish more of them had that staying power Open Up and Original have

Fav: Romantic Theme Least Fav: Naag Devta Loved the instruments, but man the vocals just weren’t it. Still enjoyed it

Fav: Best Friends (Feat. Aaliyah) Least Fav: Hit ‘Em Wit Da Hee (Feat. Lil Kim) Timbaland beats hit hard once again

Fav: Siberian Khatru Least Fav: Close To The Edge Takes a while but when it hits it’s quite good

Fav: Warm Beer And Cold Women Least Fav: On A Foggy Night Tom Waits never fails to surprise me. Three of his albums I’ve heard and none have sounded similar at all. Hoping he’s done more jazz because I’d love to give it a listen

Fav: Christine’s Tune Least Fav: Hippie Boy They’ll name a band anything these days

Fav: No Body, No Crime (Feat. HAIM) Least Fav: Coney Island (Feat. The National) Yeah fair enough, massive improvement from 1989 due to the songs being listenable. Not fantastic but there’s some good stuff on here

Fav: River Song Least Fav: Friday Night Surprising lack of Beach Boys vibes to it which I appreciate (makes it feel more unique), but most importantly some nice jazz in there. Solid 4/5 for me

Fav: At Night Least Fav: Secrets I am loving this atmosphere that the album creates, need more like this ASAP, and I was also surprised at the false advertising - it’s nearly 40 minutes long not 17 seconds

Fav: I’m All You Need Least Fav: Timewatching Might be my favourite new discovery so far. All the songs are bangers and the lyrics are hilarious. I see a lot of people complaining about the dreadful lyrics but they fail to see it’s clearly comedic. Moral of the story is that The Divine Comedy is hugely underrated by the users on this website

Fav: Shadowplay Least Fav: Candidate Absolutely iconic album cover, really fits the album’s vibe

Fav: Let Her Go, God Bless Her Least Fav: Take The News To Mother I was enjoying this…until I realised it’s the same song on repeat. I’m not gonna remember any of this album by tomorrow

Fav: Tom Violence Least Fav: Starpower This album is for sure E.V.I.L, was not an easy or fun time

Fav: Fairytale Of New York (Feat. Kirsty MacColl) Least Fav: If I Should Fall From Grace With God If you’ve never drunkenly sang Fairytale Of New York with your mates at a pub/nightclub around Christmas, you’ve not lived life to its fullest

Fav: Unfinished Sympathy Least Fav: Hymn Of The Big Wheel I love Portishead so I’m surprised I’d never tried Massive Attack. Glad this challenge made me bite the bullet because it was so worth it. Everyone is on top form for the album and it rightfully earns its place as one of trip hop’s finest albums

Fav: Let’s Not And Say We Did Least Fav: I Remember Me I came around to this album in the end, but those vocals are terrible in parts and lets down the rest of the music

Fav: Son Of Sam Least Fav: Colorbars Reminded me of The Bends era Radiohead, got this lad on my radar now

Fav: Peace Like A River Least Fav: Duncan Art has Bright Eyes but with this album alone I’m thinking Paul Simon > Art Garfunkel

Fav: Like A Prayer Least Fav: Act Of Contrition One of the most front-loaded albums I’ve ever listened to. A great first half that the second half cannot hold a candle to, frustratingly

Fav: Spaceball Ricochet Least Fav: Telegram Sam At its worst it’s really catchy, loved it

Fav: Groove Is In The Heart Least Fav: Build The Bridge This one gets old really fast, it’s basically Groove Is In The Heart + some other songs you don’t care about

Fav: Désespoir Least Fav: Koweït, Rive Gauche How can people hate this?! It’s a nice fun time and fits perfectly with spring and summer

Fav: Sunlight Least Fav: On Sir Francis Drake Really surprised me this did. Expected a generic country album but it was nice and chill, with Sunlight being the standout

Fav: Concrete Jungle Least Fav: Slave Driver Never doubted that a Bob Marley album would be great 🫡

Fav: Universal Corner Least Fav: We’re Desperate I don’t really know why I like this, I just do

Fav: I Don’t Remember Least Fav: Intruder Peter Gabriel 3/5

Fav: Intro Least Fav: Fantasy But disappointed, it’s not bad but it goes nowhere and just feels kinda boring. I thought Intro was alright and felt dread when I realised it was the best the album had to offer

Fav: Night And Day Least Fav: These Chains

Fav: Them Bones Least Fav: God Smack I’m yet to figure out why Alice is in chains, good album tho

Fav: One Hundred Years From Now Least Fav: Life In Prison I don’t mind The Byrds, but finding out that this was a country album ruined it for me. It sucks, it’s boring and I’m grateful it’s only sround 30 mins

Fav: Small Hours Least Fav: Big Muff That album cover is beautiful, and I think it accurately reflects the music with the last song being the obvious example

Fav: Some Misunderstanding Least Fav: No Other It picks up in the second half, and it’s definitely not as boring as his other album on this list, but there are certainly sections that are boring. Can’t believe he’s got 2 albums…

Fav: Wear You Out Least Fav: Ambulance That Ambulance song is one of the worst song I’ve heard this decade

Fav: Satellite Of Love Least Fav: New York Telephone Conversation Satellite Of Love is my favourite Bowie song

Fav: Let’s Start Least Fav: Black Man’s Cry Great album, glad to know that Ginger Baker uses the bath and doesn’t smell too ig

Fav: This Is The Day Least Fav: The Twilight Hour Always appreciate an accordion in a song, so it’s natural I like this album

Fav: Under The Boardwalk Least Fav: Hypnotised Couple of good songs in a sea of mediocrity

Fav: I’m Glad Least Fav: Electricity Compared to their other album in the list, they sacrificed originality in exchange for being listenable. Probably for the best

Fav: F.U.B.U (Feat. The-Dream and BJ The Chicago Kid) Least Fav: Mad (Feat. Lil Wayne) Not sure what part of this sounds remotely important for listening

Fav: Slip Inside This House Least Fav: Higher Than The Sun (A Dub Symphony In Two Parts) (Feat. Jah Wobble) The amount of times it suddenly gets interesting just to fade again left me frustrated, and for a band called Primal Scream - why are they not a heavy metal band? The name sounds kinda intense…

Fav: Such A Night Least Fav: Fever It’s easy listening, but with nothing standout. Kind of a running theme with his albums imo

Fav: To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High) Least Fav: Bartering Lines First song was alright, so I’m annoyed at Ryan Adam’s for making it sound interesting only have that boring country sound that goes nowhere for the rest of the album

Fav: Miss America Least Fav: Pressure On Julian This is a great album no doubt, but I’m puzzled why this is included ahead of 13, which I believe is Blur’s magnum opus. But yes this is a great album with some varied hits, with my favourite being the chill ‘Miss America’

Fav: Surfacing Least Fav: Tattered & Torn Is bro ok? He’s been screaming for an hour straight

Fav: Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues Least Fav: Just Like A Woman I’d say that with the exception of Just Like A Woman, all of these songs are improvements on the originals. Having an acoustic first half with the electric second half was so a great idea. In the end I’m just surprised how much I enjoyed 90 minutes of Bob Dylan, my past self would be shocked I enjoyed this so much

Fav: All These Things That I’ve Done Least Fav: Believe Me Natalie I love this album and it was important in my younger years, but that second half just doesn’t hit nearly as hard as the first half does…

Fav: Stem / Long Stem - Medley Least Fav: Napalm Brain / Scatter Brain - Medley Whatever this genre of music is, I want more of it NOW

Fav: In And Out Of The Shadows Least Fav: (He’s Got) The Whole World In His Hands Always love it when an album is unexpectedly great :)

Fav: For Her Least Fav: Fetch The Bolt Cutters What a contrast from her other album on this list, it’s very impressive. Had no idea GarageBand was capable of these sorts of things

Fav: Sweet-Lovin’ Man Least Fav: I Shatter Nearly 3 hours later, I have discovered that just because you can do something - doesn’t mean you should do it

Fav: Dancing Queen Least Fav: Arrival ABBA are one of my favourite music groups period. Lots of nostalgic bangers from this album but unfortunately the popular ones are bigger than the rest for a reason (they’re a league above) which is a shame as I was hoping for a solid 5 but I’ll settle for a 4 instead. They could never make me hate you ABBA

Fav: Otterley Least Fav: Persephone The unfortunate part of hearing their best album (Heaven Or Las Vegas) first is that I know nothing will compare to it. The atmosphere is different and it feels like I’m at my own funeral, but the songs just don’t hit the same way all of Heaven Or Las Vegas does. This doesn’t mean it’s bad at all, just feels like it’s lacking something - and from what I gather the band agrees

Fav: Turnover Least Fav: Repeater Must look into post-hardcore when I get a moment

Fav: Ex Lion Tamer Least Fav: Mr Suit 500th album reviewed! And not a bad one to reach this milestone

Fav: Slightly All The Time Least Fav: Moon In June It’s almost cruel for them to have some nice snippets of good sounds sprinkled in between the terrible sounding melodies

Fav: There Is A Light That Never Goes Out Least Fav: Vicar In A Tutu My first Smiths album. When I first heard it I thought it was ok, but nothing special. Thanks to this website, that has changed

Fav: Hotel Yorba Least Fav: Aluminum The best White Stripes album

Fav: Along The Banks Of Rivers Least Fav: A Survey Interesting mix of atmospheric, relaxing stuff followed by some lovely jazz. Wish the jazz stuff was the whole album but as my first post-rock album, it’s left me interested in seeing what else it has to offer

Fav: Its A Miracle Least Fav: Mister Man I’ll never doubt 80s albums again, cos that was so much better than I was anticipating. Nice vocals throughout with some excellent instrumentation. Pity about Boy George tho

Fav: Desperate Cry Least Fav: Arise Yeah I think death metal just isn’t for me. I can tell they’re talented tho so it’s not them it’s me

Fav: Lover, You Should’ve Come Over Least Fav: Lilac Wine I distinctly remember this as being the first album that made me sit and think about how good it was. And then I found out he died
