I've never heard of Fairport Convention before but really liking this celtic kind of rock from the 60s. Matty Groves was really a great song, Tam Lin was also very good too, and Sir Patrick Spens. I like the vocalist, she sounds sort of like Grace Slick. I think I'll be revisiting their albums again and I think it's a 5 star for me. I learned a little bit about the singer, Sandy Denny too and didn't realize she sang with Led Zeppelin on Battle of Evermore, one of my favorite songs.

The first 1/2 of this album was pretty OK for me but the 2nd half, around Warszawa and beyond is amazing but that's probably my love of 70's Brian Eno showing through.

1 This was alright, I had not heard most of these songs. Unfortunately I'm going to go with a rating of 1 I think, and I'm unlikely to revisit it as opposed to "Live!" London, 1974. That live album is probably a 4 for me

This was better than I expected it to be and I gave it a fair listen without skipping. Even though, going in I knew it was not for me since I believed it to be way outside of my cultural experience. I am completely unfamiliar with this genre and themes but I can see how it was so apparently influential. There were some rhythms and samples that were pretty good and included much more styles from RnB than I expected. I'm glad to have heard it but I know I'm not revisiting this.

This is already more approachable to me than when this first came out. This was so huge when I was \"coming of age\" as a Gen X'er in the 90s in high school, but the popular culture of that era always seemed to pass me by. (ha! even today) I'm familiar with most of these songs already because they've apparently permeated into my core being because of my age and when this album came out. I watched a TON of MTV leading up to this time too, and I definitely remember this \"Smells Like Teen Spirit\" video, it was played all the time. There were a few tracks new to me but I'd say I enjoyed this more than I expected to and would probably revisit it.

This just OK for me, I only recognized 1 or 2 songs off this album and I didn't enjoy it as much as Nevermind from Nirvana but there were a few memorable tracks like Big Me and Exhausted. I probably won't revisit this either, but I read that Dave Grohl recorded a demo of this album all by himself after Cobain's death, so that was really impressive.

I've never been a huge fan of the vocals of the singer. This album was pretty uninspiring for me, and not memorable. A few things here and there were interesting to me but nothing worth coming back to for me. Maybe 3 but probably more like 2.5

This is a solid 4/5 for me and I had no idea what to expect from this band. The vocals and guitar are really pretty good and I think it's tastefully heavy with just a nice hint of Jamiroquai for me. I can definitely see the appeal and will be revisiting this for sure. I think I've heard Drive before but it was just so-so for me, but Pardon Me was a great song. Lots of things for me to come back to on this album for sure.

2 or 3 for me. It's kind of a baseline corny English \"Herman's Hermits\" feel for most of the album and then some psychedelia thrown in some spots and some fun and weird tracks. favorites so far: opener - title track last of the steam powered engines sitting by the riverside all of my friends were there wicked Annabella people take pictures of each other

There is undeniable energy on that opening track that I have definitely heard before, but maybe not this original recording. An overall 3 for me I think. This reminds me of when I stayed up late listening to "Blues Before Sunrise" on my local radio station with my walkman as a kid, I probably fell asleep to that show every Saturday night for a few years. liked, distorted harmonica sound! i want to be loved blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll cross-eyed cat

A couple of good gems on here but not my favorite Talking Heads album. 3 I would think.

This was a lot better than I thought. Such a great storyteller and I recognized most of these though I tend to skip past Billy Joel on the radio thinking it's not for me. I listened to this whole album and have a much better appreciation for him afterward. definitely a 4 I think for me

Instant 5 star for me. My wife and I danced to Perfect Day at my wedding. Love this album and all its glam-rock quirkiness. Favorites are Satellite of Love, Perfect Day, Walk on the Wild Side, I'm So Free, Wagon Wheel, and basically the whole album.

Opening track was really pretty nice and chill, perfect for the rainy/overcast day when I listened to it. I'm impressed with his vocals for sure. Next track was a bit more bluegrassy/country that has never been my jam but he's a great singer. throwback '50s sound for the 3rd track for Hotel Room The Ocean was a pretty chill vibe too, I did like that. Some things on here I did enjoy but probably an overall 3 for me.

I'm a fan of The Who but this album did little for me, I think this isn't something I'll return to. I've heard only 1 or 2 of these tracks before

This is a great album, I've already owned and listened to this a lot

also one of my favorites that I own. I love the sound of this album and Brian Wilson's lyrics of course. Definitely a 5 star

I did own a compilation CD back in the day with some Donovon on it, and I haven't heard it in years, I love the title track. Legend of Girl Child Linda not so much. Lots and lots of sitar Bert's Blues is pretty good Love Seasons of the Witch The Trip is pretty good too, the Fat Angel is pretty groovy maybe a 2 for this album, not my favorite but some hidden gems in there and 2 tracks I love.

2 stars for me. not my speed really, kind of catchy 90's brit-pop but nothing I'm coming back to really.

I really like the chill vibe of this album, I have this CD still somewhere.

I had never heard of him before but something about this album just was the perfect soundtrack to my morning. I listened to it twice back to back. 5 stars for me.

pretty meh and boring on this one. i'm not inspired by any of the tracks and I haven't heard any of them before. I might go with a 1 on this album, nothing redeeming here for me.

son of a preacher man is wonderful and that song is 5 stars. it's one of my wife's favorite songs of all time. song's I really enjoyed: "don't forget about me" "so much love" "I don't want to hear it anymore" I love her voice and the motown sound of this album and it's a strong 4 for this overall I'd say.

wow. this is just bonkers crazy. I've not heard anything quite like this or anything from this band before. It's not something I'd put into my music listening rotation, but it was fun to listen to all the way through. Each track I was saying "what the hell?" This is a strong 4 I think for how fun, crazy and unpredictable it was. Change was really good

This came out in 2002 and was popular as the "CD of the month" when my wife and I were dating, so this has a lot of memories for me. We both really liked this album, and especially the title track. The Flaming Lips were actually touring recently in our town too but we sadly couldn't make the show. That was every bit as fun, weird, sad, and wacky as I remember it being. "Fight test", and the album's title track, and "do you realize" are my favorites and a strong overall 4 now that I listen to it again after so long.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams brought this from a 1 to a 2 for me, but I'm not a green day fan.

sixteen blue is good, and androgynous, and answering machine. I'd say this is an overall 3 for me. some tracks I didn't mind

The first few tracks are really amazing but I was less impressed with the rest of the album, even calling myself a U2 fan. I'm at a 3 I think.

Kracked wasn't too bad. I'm not a huge fan of the vocals. I do like a lot of noise and distortion but some of this is getting to be a bit much for me. Interesting Cure cover on Just Like Heaven, stopped really abruptly. I'm probably at a 2 here.

I just wasn't in the mood for REM today. I have a couple of their most popular albums and enjoyed listening to those back in the day but I'm not really impressed with this album. Maybe a 1 for me, nothing really memorable at all in my first listen.

I had this CD back in the day, I really enjoyed it at the time, along with Automatic for the People. This seems edgier and sharper than Murmur, which I did not care for.

I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I have never really cared for much of the Steely Dan I've heard in regular radio rotation, and never really enjoyed the harmony of voices that they have but listening to this album had really changed my mind on how talented they are. A couple of things on here were corny and twangy I'd say but a lot of this was really good and I listened to it twice in a row!

67 years later and still amazing. I really liked that they included the out-takes. Her voice is amazing and I loved listening to this. I torn between a 4 and 5 for this album. Thinking back on this after listening I'll go with a 5

This was better than I expected and my recent harder listening habits have made Black Sabbath more tolerable to me. Easily a 4

Not really feeling this album today. I'm probably going with a 2 so far. There's some tracks that I thought were alright, Bird of Beauty and You Haven't Done Nothin' but most of this album wasn't memorable for me.

Not really excited about this band. I'm not a fan of the vocals for sure. I've heard "Here Comes Your Man" before and didn't realize that was the Pixies.

The strings and the horns are fun in this album. I've obviously heard the theme song but nothing else from Isaac Hayes before, enjoying it so far. Some really groovy stuff on this so far, especially like the 20 minute "Do Your Thing". Oh I forgot he was Chef in South Park! Prob a 4 for me

Instant 5 for me. Love his album and I don't even have to listen to it to rate it.

I've heard most of these songs before, and this was better than expected. I've never been a huge Van Halen fan but after listening to this album, I'd definitely call it a 4 out of 5.

Overall a 3 I think. I was not really inspired by this but I didn't dislike it. Some of beats were good for working with it on in the background.

Not a fan of this hardcode punk sound. Some interesting things here and it was really short! Only a 15 minute album on Spotify. I'm going with a 2.

Highlights for me are few on this album. This isn't really jiving with my mood for the day and pretty depressing that this is his last album. "Traveling light" - is alright "It Seemed the Better Way" - sounds like something from Twin Peaks I'm probably at a 2 for this album.

This was pretty good, I hadn't been much of a White Stripes fan in the past so I wasn't sure I'd like this but it wasn't too bad, I'd say a 3.5 but I'll rate it a 3

Meh. These were OK: - Your own back yard - Born to be with you / streetheart - Good lovin' man 2 definitely for me on this album, was really pretty boring

I was really surprised by this. It was a fun groove to have on this morning while I worked, not at all what I expected. I think I'll be returning to this album for sure, and maybe look into other albums by Primal Scream if they're like this.

This had a really nice groove to it that was fun to work with having it on in the background.

Can't really stand the vocals and sloppiness and buy into the hype around this album. Submission and Pretty Vacant weren't terrible and Anarchy was ok. I've heard Anarchy and God Save the Queen before. 2 star for sure for me.

Amazing voice, a really good album

This was just OK, I had heard Rooster since that was really popular, some of these tracks I had to skip because I really disliked them, but some weren't so bad, overall a 3 I think.

Wow I can't believe this was recorded in 1965, they had a pretty rocking sound much earlier than I thought. I listened to the mono remastered release and heard a lot of songs I'd never heard before. Obviously My Generation and The Kids Are Alright are great but heard several more songs on here that I liked. Overall a 4 I'd say.

Always an interesting sonic experience with Radiohead. I never had listened to this album before, I had OK Computer and Amnesiac. I'd probably go back and listen to this again being a fan of those older Radiohead albums. Tracks I liked: All I Need Reckoner plus a few more

Wow, this singer is great! Not at all what I expected, a really good listen that has a ton of hard energy to it. 4 stars

I was between a 2 an 3 here, some good beats and head-bobbing moments. Definitely not my taste but probably a 2.5

I started reading the reviews before listening so I knew what I was in for but they had no way to prepare me for this. It is every bit as insane as I was led to believe and more. I listened to the entire thing in 1 sitting without interruption. It’s got really great moments of jazz in this, 5% of the time. The rest is like a firetruck siren and the musicians were in a giant blender. This has altered my ears and my brain permanently. Now I can taste music. Now I can see through time.

I know So Far Way, Walk of Life and Money for Nothing of course. That's a pretty iconic song, and I remember the video and Weird Al parody. I really dislike Walk of Life though. Money for Nothing is great Your Latest Trick is really sappy and most of Why Worry was too. Why Worry was really boring until the last few minutes and it's a pretty chill vibe for this morning. Around the 6 min mark though. Ride Across the River is pretty cool, I like the guitar in that song and the guitar in One World. Overall a 3 probably but Money for Nothing holds this album up. I keep thinking I'm listening to Steely Dan, which I did enjoy listening to when one of their albums came up. I was hoping this album had Sultans of Swing, which is a really great song, but no.

Wow, loved every minute of this album, it was great! 5 stars for me and will listen again certainly.

This is what I imagined an album made by the Looney Tunes cartoon character Taz, the Tasmanian Devil, would sound like. Not my jam today nor will ever be I'm afraid.

Overall I thought this was really good, I'm a fan of Lou Reed and I feel like she was similar to him. I'll go find more Patti Smith to listen to, apparently Because the Night is popular of hers, but not on this album. I liked: Gloria Birdland Free Money Land: Horses/Land of a Thousand Dancse/La Merde Pretty solid 4 star album for me.

A tiny bit of jazz underneath some of these tracks but definitely not for me. Some good beats but unfortunately not a fan.

I know most of these songs and I do really enjoy The Police but haven't listened to them in a long time. I think this is overall a 4 for me for sure. Favorites: Murder By Numbers Synchronicity King of Pain Wrapped Around Your Finger (I remember that MTV video with the candles) Least favorite track is absolutely Mother!

I think I prefer older Police than Synchronicity, though I gave that a 4. Coming back to the Police after a long time, I'm enjoying it so far, I think this is another 4 album for me.

Just Like Honey was pretty good, I did enjoy that song. Also found these OK: - The Hardest Walk - Taste of Cindy - Some Candy Talking (reminds me of Velvet Underground) - Sowing Seeds I do like a trashy, distorted guitar sound, but this is a bit much. Plus a lot of the songs sounded very much alike. I had to skip a few songs where the background distortion was so crunchy. Going with a 2 for this album

I'm coming back to Nirvana after years of avoiding listening to them. I ended up really enjoying their early studio albums, and of course I remember when this live album was recorded. It was just played everywhere. I'm not a huge fan of the unplugged series of albums. I think this was pretty good but I'm going with a 3 on this one, not super inspiring to me.

Never heard of this band. Only a few tracks off this album are available to me on Spotify so this is a partial review. I do like 60s psychedelia but not a big fan folky-rock or country-rock like 8:05 and Mr. Blues. Indifference was pretty good. Rounder also I liked, and Sweet Ride was pretty good. Overall a 2 from what tracks I could review.

Not at all a fan of Elvis and the cult that followed him around. The vocal styles are irritating and the mix of rockabilly is just uninteresting to me.

Definitely a 3 star album for me, some of these tracks I've never heard before. Fame and Young American's really carry this album and I love a lot of David Bowie.

Pretty mellow and chill downbeat vibe today, kind of reminded me of Air. It wasn't too bad, I think this was a 3 for my mood today.

This was really good and I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did, really smooth R&B and he has an amazing voice! I think it's a solid 4 star for me.

There was a lot of really interesting songs on here that I had never heard. I've heard Tiny Dancer of course and do enjoy that. Indian Sunset was really powerful, and Razor Face was really silly but fun. Overall a solid 4 star album for me and I'll probably revisit this one for sure.

Wow that was super funky, and a really fun album. I had never seen the movie before and know that this was a soundtrack, so it makes me want to go watch it now.

This was sort of catchy, I see the Take Me Out song is hugely popular on Spotify and I think I've heard that before in a tv show or movie maybe. Some good guitar licks in here and some catchy beats but overall not too memorable for me by the end, decent background music by that point. Maybe a 3 star for me.

This was a good 3 star album for me. I had never heard of them before and I was kind of reminded of really early The Cure but maybe a bit more boring. Strange House in the Snow was totally bonkers, and the live track at the end of Sleeping Gas was pretty good. Several pretty good tracks on here that I may return to, or may look into their other albums, so I guess that means a 3 star album.

Well I got to say I did not expect to enjoy this album as much as I did, very emotional and moving and I really enjoyed the covers of Hurt and Personal Jesus, plus a lot of other songs on here I'd heard of before. Unexpected 5 star album for me, especially after going back and watching the music video for his cover of Hurt.

I know their popular songs on here but never listened to this in it's entirety. Wow they just harmonize so well on Scarborough Fair. A Simple Desultory Philippic was a fun poke at Dylan. Homeword Bound is also a great song, and 59th St Bridge, but I'm pretty bored with this rest of this, not a huge fan of folk and there's not enough folk/rock here for me. I'm probably at 3 just for those tracks I already knew.

I'm pretty uninspired by this album, minus the wonderful track: Bang a Gong, which I love.

There was a lot of interesting listening going on here, with the strings and horns. Really interesting late 60s rock that I had never heard of before, I'll probably revisit some of this group as well.

absolutely not into this. I really dislike his style of singing and vocals. it's just not for me. 1 star

Really not for me but I'm not it's audience obviously. I've never visited hip hop and rap as a genre. This had some good beats but not for me.

I do enjoy Radiohead, I did back in the day and it's been fun to revisit it. I dug this CD out so I could listen to the physical copy. I'm having a hard time telling this album apart from Kid A so I'll go back and listen to that at some point.

I have this on CD and I haven't listened to it in a long while. I ended up listening to the extended 2hr version on Spotify while playing some video games and it actually complimented the game quite a bit. A lot of this was repetitive but I think that was just the extended mix, overall a 4 as I enjoyed it, I have another Moby CD that I'll have to dig out.

Pearly Queen is really good don't be sad was just ok who knows what tomorrow may bring is cool feelin' alright is a great cover Roamin Thro The Gloamin was pretty cool too Means to an end, good Overall I really enjoyed this album, I've never heard anything from Traffic before besides Mr Fantasy, which was not on this album. I think I'll be revisiting this for sure.

This was pretty groovy and a lot of fun! I recommended this to my kid to listen to as well, the latter part of the album I was losing interest but overall I'd say a fun 4 album.

I do really like Miles Davis and I guess I hadn't heard this album before, being earlier than Kind of Blue. While this was really good, it didn't grab my attention like other recordings of his but overall a 4 for me.

This was a pretty solid and fun Rock album that I know I've heard tracks off of, and maybe my kids played for me before. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

About 1/2 way through and really liking this so far, it's really resonated with my mood for the evening. I'll definitely revisit Sonic Youth and this album I think. I certainly would have listened to this a lot when I was younger, I'm not sure why I didn't discover them until this album challenge. Not super thrilled with the word-jazz of In The Kingdom #19. My 14yro son accurately described this as "sounds kinda goth" Bubblegum is a lot of fun

Wow the messages are still extremely important and relevant today, and wasn't what I expected it to be. I'm going with a 4 since I'm definitely not a hip hop fan but the lyrics and his emotion he's delivering is really good.

I love Lou Reed, and I own White Light, White Heat so I'm pretty familiar with this style. I have not heard these songs on this Velvet Underground release at all. Pale Blue Eyes is great and I think I've heard that before Beginning to See The Light was fun I'm Set Free I liked The Murder Mystery was good too, some crazy things going on in there and got kind of long.. oh I've heard After Hours before too, that's a great song. Definitely a 4 star album for me.

Surprisingly catchy! I've heard the 2 popular songs on there, We Got the Beat and Our Lips Are Sealed. This was pretty good have on in the background without focussing too much on but I did enjoy this

I've never heard of Fairport Convention before but really liking this celtic kind of rock from the 60s. Matty Groves was really a great song, Tam Lin was also very good too, and Sir Patrick Spens. I like the vocalist, she sounds sort of like Grace Slick. I think I'll be revisiting their albums again and I think it's a 5 star for me. I learned a little bit about the singer, Sandy Denny too and didn't realize she sang with Led Zeppelin on Battle of Evermore, one of my favorite songs.

I own some of these tracks on New Order Singles, I haven't heard these: This Time of Night Sunrise Sooner Than You Think Face-up I own Singles, Substance and Get Ready on CD so I'm a New Order fan. I learned a little bit about Joy Division looking this album up too, so I think I'll explore their work more since New Order was founded from the remaining members. I love this sound and the vocalist, and this is definitely a 5 star for me.

So I completely thought Pavement was somebody else. I'd never heard this before, and it's just OK for me. I guess a 3 so far listening about 1/2 through the album. Nothing has really grabbed my attention yet. Loretta's Scars is alright "Here" sounds a lot like Lou Reed to me Jackals, False Grails is alright I think this is a 3 for me.

wow, this was an amazing album. 5 stars all the way

I have no idea why I haven't listened to more Queen before. This album was great, a lot of prog rock themes going on here which I love. Reminds me of some Rush and Led Zeppelin, I'll definitely be revisiting this and pretty soon too.

Own this, love this, own other Dave Brubeck albums too.

I've listened to it for more than an hour, it's a 2 hour double CD and I'm not super inspired by this album. I do like electronic music and this was a decent fit into my workflow this afternoon but I've heard and enjoy better electronic music than this. I think I'll go with 2 star.

I'm a Pink Floyd fan, even an early PF fan and knew of some of the stories of Syd Barrett before but never have listened to his albums before. I had heard of Golden Hair before, and did enjoy that song. The rest of the album wasn't my favorite, I'm going to go with 2 star I think.

I whole lot of love this album

wow this whole album was amazing, I especially loved Solid Ground.

Definitely some good grooves in here but I felt like the tracks were dragged out too long and wasn't too inspired and skipped around a bit. 2 star for me.

I was pleasantly surprised by this album, even though there were some corny rockabilly tracks and I've never liked Fogerty's singing. I went into this not really enjoying what I've heard from CCR before but changed my mind to a 4 for this album.

Originally thought this was boring and not for me, but I did start to warm to this slightly this morning. I liked "Because Of You" and "One In A Hundred" so far. Pretty light hearted, lullaby like music with guitar and some harmonica. "Where My Love Lies Asleep" is a very soothing, sleepy like old time cowboy music. Not really in the mood for this today and musically it's not my favorite but I'll go with an overall 2. I skipped the last couple of tracks.

Definitely enjoyed this, I had never listened to Iron Maiden before and will be checking out more of their albums on some more friends recommendations

Carry On, Almost Cut My Hair, Woodstock, Deja Vu, I really like and have listened to those on a compilation album a long time ago. I love their harmony of voices. I never cared for the slide guitar on Teach Your Children. Overall a really great album with just a few misses for me, 4 star.

I really can't quite classify what I just listened to there. I enjoyed this for sure, very unique mix of styles here. I think I'll go with a 4 overall

This was really interesting to listen to, and I had just listened to the Spirtualized album "Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space" which I think was similar to this in a lot of ways. I'm going to go with an overall 3 and maybe not quite as good as the Spirtualized album but a fun listen

Really great stuff on here, I had never heard some of these tracks. Love Cloud 9, overall a 4 for me.

There were some really interesting and pretty songs in this album, it was really a unique listen for me. Broken Heart was really pretty and I did enjoy that track plus "No God Only Religion", "Cool Waves" and several more on here. Cool, "Cop Shoot Cop" is a nice 17 minute jam so far that I'm kind of enjoying. Overall though I think this isn't much beyond a 3 for me. Interesting though for sure

I've heard enough of this to decide it wasn't for me. I love PJ Harvey though so I'm going to give this a 2 star.

I did enjoy this, there are some hugely popular tracks on here that I've heard before, and I'm reminded of Radiohead when I listened to this and I do like Radiohead. I think I'll come back to this and recommended this album to someone already.

Overall a pretty pleasant listen! I knew of "Ricky Don't Lose That Number" of course but I never thought I enjoyed that song. Listening to it again I thought it was catchy and enjoyed the album overall. I think I'll go with a 3.

Definitely not feeling this, not for me and I'm getting nothing from it. I actually can't stand the vocalist and the beats aren't enough to hold my attention

I've listened to it enough to know it's not for me. I definitely like this better than the album from The Streets in this album challenge but I'll give this a 2.

I didn't care for some of the growling and screaming here but this album was alright, overall I don't think I'm going to come back to this and have it at a 2.

This was quirky and fun and I absolutely recognized some tracks on here but the rest was pretty obscure. I like a bunch of these even though the lyrics were pretty corny but I think I'll come back to listening to Queen again. 4 star

I love this album, I own it from a long time ago. It's not my favorite Cure album but I really love the doomy vibe I get from the 2nd half of this. 5 star
