I don’t know why I’ve never properly listened to Willie Nelson before; he’s got good vibrations and good sounds. Quite good stripped down covers of some classics. I think I’ll cover his covers

I'm not really a fan of overtly horny songs. I'm not really a fan of this genre. I'm not really a fan of their voices. I didn't know 'Waterfalls' came from this. I wanted to stop before the album was over, but I powered through. Do I regret doing that? I don't know.

Love the Cure and their stomachache vocals. Very fun synth vibes. I particularly liked Pictures of You, the Same Deep Water As You, and Disintegration

It was good. I liked it as a piece of music history, but as something to listen to for my own enjoyment, it was just alright.

This is one of the few albums where almost every song is a 10/10. I wouldn't consider many of these in my wheelhouse, but I love them for what they are.

Love some good Ellington when I'm in the mood. Sometimes I'm not, but today I was. This is not something I'd put on in the background while I work or need to focus, but something to study and appreciate the musicianship of. I'd also listen to this when I'm doing something that I can be distracted from, because some of these solos are insane.

Speaking as an idiot child, a lot of the songs sound the same. Doesn’t mean they don’t want to make me dance. This is a very solid album that has me get feelings

Yeah, that was quite fun. It's messy, unpolished, and great for it.

I already love this album. All of these songs are hits in my opinion. I do not care if liking Billy Joel makes me lame. I was mostly introduced to him when my father took me and my sister to one of his concerts in Madison Square Garden when I was 16 and I listened to his discography in preparation, and I have been a fan since. My favourites from this album are its staples; 'Movin' Out...', 'Just the Way You Are', 'Scenes...', 'Vienna', 'Only the Good...'. I am well aware that is over half the album.

This is what I the crux of experimental teenage pretentious indie rock (?). I don't know if I like that or hate that. I like making noise with my guitar, and I like that they made noise with their guitars, so I guess I kind of like it. Also I tend to be pretentious and I hate it but it's who I am and they embraced who they are.

I do like the Cure but this album wasn’t for me. Some songs were good, but overall, I think it was maybe the mixing that made it meh for me. Maybe it’s because I listened to it very hungover on two hour car ride out to the province

I like Steely Dan and this felt like them getting into the groove of their sound, but not quite yet.

I can enjoy this as art from an analytic perspective, but for my own enjoyment, it doesn't do much.

On the first listen I had a great time. I was thinking 'now this is my kind of messy.' It's fun, it's all over the place in a good way, and I just like it. On the second listen I could focus on the technical ability and the fusion inspirations the artists took from. Love it.

Yeah this album is good. Can easily tell where their later, more unique sound came from based on this. Their influences are much more distinct. Good. Fine.

Why am I getting so much 70s British New Wave Rock. Well it's not like I don't enjoy it. 'Just What I Needed' hoo-wee. 'You're All I've Got Tonight' has some strong blues influences that I'm funking with. 'All Mixed Up' is a wonderful way to end this. This is the kind of music I would dream of making if I was born in Ireland in the 60s.

The flows on 'A Day At the Races' are insane. Musicality aside, the lyricism is amazing as well; both impressive wordplay and cultural relevance. I'm also a big fan of the scratching on this record. This is my first introduction to this group, and I can't wait to dive into them. Standout tracks: 'Freedom', 'If You Only Knew', the aforementioned 'A Day At the Races', 'Sum of Us', 'Acetate Prophets'. Most of these songs are great, those are just my personal favourites.

I'm not really a fan of instrumental dance records like this one, but it was fun to have on in the background for a change. I can't say I dislike it.

This is a fun concept album. On my first go around I wasn't too impressed by it, but it grew on me. My favourite three depressing tracks are 'Yes Sir, No Sir', 'Some Mother's Son', and 'Shangri-La', all focusing around the banal evil of living in a society that either does not care about its constituents or actively wishes them harm. Great commentary

This is definitely not the kind of music I usually listen to. I'm generally not the biggest fan of R&B, but I can understand the appeal in this album specifically. No clear standout songs for me.

I love 'So How Come (No One Loves Me'. That's all I have to say about that. This is definitely a product of its time, but that doesn't mean I don't like it.

Honestly, this just felt like any mess of British sound at the time. I still like it. 'English Rose' was nice. Also, 'Down In The Tube Station At Midnight' was nice. Quite depressing. They know how to pick singles, I guess.

Oh my god it's the JoJo song. I did not know of this band before this was introduced to me. I like the whole song; it's fun. I particularly like the nylon guitar present throughout the album, especially mixed with the more prog-rock aspects.

Fun pop-punk. 'Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)' is a good one. 'Not the One' is fantastically, adolescently political. 'Smash' is terribly adolescently ironic. Good.

I am a big fan of Leonard Cohen. This is not the first time I've listened to this album. 'Suzanne', and 'Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye' are my favourites. It's not for everyone, and I could see how people could consider this generic 60s folk, but I like it, and I just think his lyricism is beautiful

It’s fun I like it enough. Not really my music and I’m ignorant of the history of the genre but it feels genre defining.

This is quintessential punk—and I love me some good punk. I'm gonna go punch a cop

This is very much of its time, but that does not detract from the album. Simply musically wonderful

I've never really listened to The Zombies, so I didn't realise they wrote so many hits. It's good. Maybe I'll get tired of the 60s rock soon, but this isn't one to get tired of

Yeah, this is ok. I'm not sure what metric I should go by, but this is fine. it's not groundbreaking or anything but it's ok. I don't know if I should say uninspired, because I don't know the history of the album. I'll give it a solid ok—if you couldn't tell.

I actually really like this. I normally would not listen to something like this, but hey it’s nice. Everything’s so expressive. I would describe this as perilous

Yeah, this is fun. I don't know about it being a compilation album, but whatever, I won't hold that against it. It's good, I like punk, and this is pretty punky. Nothing to write home about, I suppose.

I like Bob Dylan, but I don't think I've listened to any of his albums all the way through. Well, for my first time I'll say I like it. On the Road Again is fun. Of course I know 'Mr. Tambourine Man', fantastic song. I don't think this is one of his best, but what do I know, I haven't even heard one until now. Damn fine album though I think.

I love Graceland. It's not a perfect album, despite my vanilla preferences, but I love this.

A live album over an hour long is a bold choice. I've never listened to Thin Lizzy before. It was alright. I don't think I could name any songs, but it was enjoyable.

Back to the new wave pop-rock. Yay. But actually, I do like Tears for Fears. Of course 'Shout', 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World', 'Head Over Heels / Broken' are all-time classics. In particular, I liked 'Listen'. Just cool vibes. Half of the album being spectacular is a pretty good track record.

Don't know the Stooges. Don't know Iggy Pop. This was ok. No particular affection

Ooh, I like this. I've found a new band to listen to. I hear a definite Bob Dylan influence, especially on 'Eyes to the Wind'.

Come on, it's Aretha Franklin. I've never listened to this album the whole way through, and I don't actually like Soul all that much, but this is good.

This whispery thing; I don't know. I think I kind of like it unironically, though it is something I would make fun of usually. For a whole album though; I can see how it would get tiring. Am I tired? After an hour, yes. Still liked it at the start, though.

I kind of like this ragtag noise. Not fully like it, but just a little. There are songs I like here, but the amount of tracks kind of takes away from it. Then again there’s a charm in the eclecticism.

Maybe it’s because I’m not from the west, but I’ve never heard of G. Love before, and so have not been inundated with his work as it seems others have been. It does kind of sound the same after a while. It’s serviceable. I kinda like the last song. The voice became annoying after a while. If I were to listen to one song, it would be fine, but at the better part of an hour I was waiting for it to be over.

This is very bluesy. It's ok. Also folky at times. It's ok

Yeah, I'm not so into this. Not to say that this isn't good, it just isn't my kind of music. Nothing stood out to me.

This is a whopper of an album; over an hour. I like the sloppiness of it. I don't know how often I'd listen to the whole album all the way through, but I love the vibes.

I love this cowboy country style with simple chords and progressions, strong religious influence, and slightly threatening, and quite melancholic. There is just a solemn timbre in Cash's voice that cannot be pinpointed.

Quintessential dad rock. Nothing wrong with that. Got some great hits on this old thing

I’ve never listened to Franz Ferdinand before, aside from the intro to Cyberpunk Edgerunners it turns out. I’m a fan.

I am biased; I do not like U2 as a group of personalities, but this is good music. This is the first album I have listened to of theirs all the way through, even if I was there during the whole iTunes debacle. Maybe I'm just in a forgiving mood because I've had a day of a day.

This was pretty good. It may be because I've heard it before, but 'Maybe I'm Amazed' is the clear standout. The whole thing is filled with good songs, but in a way that isn't really cohesive, I don't think. It may work in some contexts, but not in the pop-rock that Sir McCartney has holed himself into. Then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Hell yeah, start it off with some jangly-ass acoustic guitar why don't ya. Boo, no jangly guitar in the second song. I will stop doing a play-by-play; I apologise, I have been drinking. I really liked it.

I can't say that this is my thing. I guess because R&B isn't too much of my thing either. Not this kind of electronica either. I liked 'Wandering Star'. It was good, yeah it was fine.

Didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Still not my favourite thing; I was just expecting to dislike it.

When I was a kid I always thought Amy Winehouse was black. Beautiful voice. Just great.

Huh, I didn't expect to see Eels on here. I'm not too familiar with them, but they seem pretty niche. 'Manchild' holds a special place in my heart. This grungy, edgy stuff is my bread and butter.

I've never listened to Korn before. This isn't my usual genre. As I listen to it, it remains not really my usual thing. Why is this over an hour long. The rapping bits with the featured artists weren't bad. They're not the greatest, but compared to the other stuff.

I always like songs that make good use of stereo; either blatant like in 'Cherry-Coloured Funk' where it plays a different melody in each channel for a kind of counterpoint, or more subtly in traditional 4-piece band settings to aid in separation of instruments. It's definitely for a certain vibe. Otherwise, it's just fine

Groundbreaking for the hip-hop scene. By now I'm sure much of the tracklist is played out, but that doesn't take away from the importance of the album. I want fast food and a new pair of Adidas now.

Primo dad blues. You can find this in any fuzz pedal review video. Decent background stuff.

Well, that was a whole lot of moping about. This was definitely trying to be artsy, maybe for the sake of being artsy. I can't tell if there was sincerity behind it. Liked it well enough, though

These lyrics are absurd. I’m not old enough to know whether this is groundbreaking and iconic or if it’s cliché and boring. The lyrical structure feels like something you’d make in high school poetry class. What inane similes too

As a blues guy I have to respect him. What may seem cliche now is because he made it a staple of the genre. Alas, it is impossible for me to remain unbiased. I supposed what is true of popular music now was true of popular music then; 'it's just the same four chords.'

I only know Neil Young from CSNY and his hits, so this was new to me. I didn't really know what his sound was. On my first go around I didn't like it too much, to be honest, but after a re-listen, reading along with the lyrics, I enjoyed it very much.

I'd call this easy listening. Doesn't mean it's bad—I particularly liked the last song. Overall though, it's just a tad boring.

I am a casual fan of Queen. This was alright. It was fun. It wasn’t exciting, or challenging, or experimental. Maybe I’m rating lower because I had higher expectations. Alas, this is my vote

Huh, I swear I've heard 'Being Boring' somewhere before. Anyway, I like it. Synth can be hit or miss for me, but this was pleasant.

Hell yes. I love Maggot Brain. Such an incredible eponymous track and album as a whole. Aside from the emotional turmoil in the first song, the rest of the album is fun and funky. Some songs borrow from others in a way that makes the album feel like one whole work.

Alright, this is fun. This isn't something that speaks to my soul, but it's really damn good. Good old rock all around.

It's a whole lot of boring rock. I really liked 'Beth,' though. I get that Kiss is really for the show and the spectacle. This album exemplifies that. They are not musicians, but performers.

I guess this is how I learn that shoegaze isn't really my thing. It's good for what it is, I guess.

Honestly, it feels like this album was just made for the sake of being made. Maybe it doesn’t hit the right spot for me because I’m just an Asian kid that lives in a country where racial divide isn’t really a thing. Cool as art

It was fun at first, I enjoyed the old school flow and the scratching, but after over an hour of mostly nothing I got bored. Still was fun for a bit though

This was pretty funky. I liked it more than I expected to.

I do enjoy my British pop-rock, but over an hour of it was a bit much. I enjoyed it at first, but it kind of blended together after a while. I'm not sure if it was the fatigue or if the songs genuinely got less interesting.

I surprisingly liked this a lot. Maybe because I am emotionally vulnerable right now, but it's good. Not my usual thing.

Now this is a classic. It's fun, it's reflective, and it's more than the regular hip-hop-hip-hip-hoppity of this genre of hip hop (no shame to the Sugarhill Gang).

So this is where that riff came from. I don’t know who I’m apologising to, but I’m sorry this sounds like a collection of generic rock songs that I’d play on a Guitar Hero 2 knockoff. A decent knockoff, but still.

I don’t know why I’ve never properly listened to Willie Nelson before; he’s got good vibrations and good sounds. Quite good stripped down covers of some classics. I think I’ll cover his covers

I'm not really a fan of overtly horny songs. I'm not really a fan of this genre. I'm not really a fan of their voices. I didn't know 'Waterfalls' came from this. I wanted to stop before the album was over, but I powered through. Do I regret doing that? I don't know.

Well, it's Ella Fitz. How does one judge this? It took me days to get through. It was definitely good, but I wouldn't call it a good album in the traditional sense. This more like an encyclopaedia than a novel. Instead of having an overarching artistic theme, this serves as a reference guide to the Gershwin brothers' music as it should be listened to. Still, Christ, over three hours.

I didn't find this very interesting. It was a bit all over the place. It was fine to listen to in the background.

It started out like whatever white boy blues, then it got fun, then it got whatever again. I may not be in the right mindset for it. It’s short enough that I’ll give it another go right now. I took a nap and it was indeed better. Still can’t separate it from the cliche it has become, but it’s good

Some of it was fun. Most of it was meh. Beep boop blop.

I liked that well enough. I was never really a fan of the Rolling Stones, so I didn't even realise this was a cover album. The songs translated well enough, and it had me interested the whole way through.

Eh, white boy blues. Nothing new here. Nothing to say.

Yeah, I liked this an ok amount. I listened to in on a Friday, but I can't remember much about it now that it's Monday. To be fair on my part I had a bit of a rough weekend. I'll probably give it one more go around. Ok. I came back and I really liked it. The whine and melodrama of the songs just speak to me.

Am I uncultured? I found this to be plain. old, boring, nice to listen to in the background jazz. I guess I’ll put this on when my aunts and uncles come over and we get wine drunk

I was never that much into Radiohead. I can’t say this changed that, but I liked it.

I’m young enough to call this dad rock, but old enough to get mad if this was on the classic rock station. I don’t really like this kind of music, but I enjoyed the lyrics and technical aspects of it.

So this is where 'North American Scum' is from. I found the album got a bit boring as it went on. Lots of the same sound throughout, but I really did enjoy 'New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down.' Not what I would usually listen to, but I can tell that it's great.

I am biased. Springsteen has to be one of my favourite artists. I consider this quintessential Americana (I don't know if I'm using that term correctly). I'm a kid from a Southeast Asian country, but this makes me want to put on blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and form a union.

I will admit, Rio isn't available in my country, and I didn't notice it at first, but I listened to the compilation of the different remixes. I got about 5 songs in before I noticed. I got kind of sick of it at that point. To be fair I did like it the first time. I only knew Duran Duran before this from 'Hungry Like the Wolf' and they played a somewhat illegal show in my country for our sinfully corrupt current president. All of these left a bad taste in my mouth and in my mind. Pretty good album though.

I am a fan of CSNY, and of the Young songs I have heard, I do like them. This album I don't think does it for me, unfortunately. Still pretty good though.

That was ok. Surely an interesting concept, but its execution was ho hum

Oh wow. All this time I thought ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It’ was by Michael Jackson. Shows what I know. This was good, even if it’s not really my kind of music. Tina Turner is good

Maybe I’m not American enough, but I wasn’t really feeling this one. I can see why it’s a seminal part of hip hop canon, it’s just not my music

I'm gonna say it. I don't understand Radiohead. Sure it's music, but I don't think it's so groundbreaking. Maybe I just wasn't in the scene at the time.

Maybe I just don't like David Bowie? I only know him from 'Life on Mars' and 'Under Pressure'. This was alright.

I really liked this one. Never heard of them before. The singer has that whine, but that’s par for the course for this genre.

Blues blues blues blues. It's simple. It's not trying to be anything it's not. Just a dude with a guitar speaking from the soul. Yeah, it's repetitive, but aren't we all

Maybe it's because I'm drunk and I've been crying for the past hour over an animated film, but I really liked this, and I've tried to like Pink Floyd before. all parts of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' were great. The others were kind of whatever on a second listen.

This is a funky experiment. 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone' I loved. I don't really like the long spaces of instrumentals between songs, but I can see why they did it. I'll add that one to my bar's playlist. 'Run Charlie Run' also fantastic.

I'm not really into metal, so this was new to me. This isn't something I would listen to again, but for what it was, it was alright. Sounds like any other metal album to me.

I found it odd to have The Temptations so close together, but this and 'All Directions' really does show their versatility. I mean, it's all the same sphere of music, but you can tell them apart easily. Kind of dated, but classic.

I’ve never listened to the Red Hot Chili Peppers before aside from little bits of their hits. I found most of it rather fun, but I can see how it could get annoying. I didn’t listen to this in one sitting, so it was fine for me.

I fell in love with this album after my family bought tickets to the Carole King musical. There are more hits on this than there aren't. What a cool singer-songwriter.

As a guitar player I love Nick Drake, though I’ve only heard Pink Moon. Beautiful album. Not everything quite hit me, but it was great nonetheless

An interesting experimental album. I'm not too big of a fan, but it's interesting at least.

‘Where Is My Mind?’ makes me wonder how many songs I know by heart without actually knowing where they’re from. Nice breakdown music. Overall, was ok for me

How I so love ‘’39’, Of course alongside the masterpieces and commercial hits* such as ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, and ‘Love of My Life’. I wouldn’t consider this a perfect album, but by golly do I like it

‘Birdland’ makes me feel somewhere in between the old show 1977-1981 American sitcom Soap and Mario Kart. Please someone talk to me about Soap and maybe it’s spinoff Benson.

I’ve never properly listened to drill, and I don’t regularly listen to hip hop, but I can see the appeal. It’s for sure showing its age, but at the time it was a burgeoning genre.

And just like that, I’m transported to the back of a jeepney at some disgusting hour
