All Ratings

Illmatic

Nas

3/5

Album #1 I am not a regular to hiphop and rap. Still enjoy this album. Reminds me of my childhood watching my older brother playing GTA. While I enjoyed listening it, I am not going to save it at Spotify.

Bossanova

Pixies

2/5

So so. I think the unclear guitar didn't aged well. I also have that with other bands. Personally I am enjoying more clear and crisp sounds. Nothing stuck from the album but I wouldn't turn it off .

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

I am taken by surprise how much I liked this album. My first thought was "oh no jazz". But honestly I enjoyed it a lot. It was a fun listening. Favourite song: Lil' Darlin'

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

Second Jazz album in a row - and I am not the hugest Jazz fan. It's okay music, you can listen to it in the background it just not that I am going to remember anything from it tomorrow or ever going to say: remember that great album, let's listen to it again. But it has nice melodies and a nice saxophone. I can imagine if you are into Jazz, that you can really enjoy this one.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

That's the kind of album I started my project for. Smooth and nice voice and music. Never heard of it before. What a great discovery.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

Really nice and chill album. Like the melodies and the voices a lot. Favourite song: thinking of you.

Suzanne Vega

4/5

Really nice singer-songwriter album. Enjoyed it a lot! Recommend: Marlene on the wall

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

4/5

Really unusual combination of different beats, melodies and arrangements. Clearly influenced by non-western music. I am not able to put it in any category of music. but I guess that was the intention of the artist. Its not an album for the background. It's something to sit down and listen too. Favourite song: Pilgrim

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

5/5

I love, love, love Joni Mitchell. This album is really great. The whole mood is really nice. The lyrics are great and how it's reflected in the arrangement. Really wholesome listening experience! So this is my first 5 star album. Favourites: Free Man in Paris

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

I know Meat Loaf but never took the time to listen a whole album. What a great experience. It's the perfect combination for my love for rock music and classical opera - Wagnerian rock is just great!

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

I didn't know this one before and can really appreciate it. Clear crisps rock sounds with amazing guitar parts. I was listening it with my morning coffee and still enjoyed it. It's absolutely worth it to read about the production of this album. It's real drama. The 2nd half is less good. For just the first CD it would be 5 stars, the 2nd half gets 3 stars. Favourite songs: Dancing in the moonlight, Southbound

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

I was always convinced that I dont like Michael Jacksons music. That also made it easy to not listen to a child molester. I am convinced that as long a criminal is profiting from the art and that he gets away with the crimes because they are famous you should not consume the art. That said I also decided to listen to every album during this project, knowing that musicians are going to come up, I wouldn't listen to normally. I have to admit I really enjoyed this album. It's fun and innovative. I wouldn't buy it which is my 5star criteria but it's a high 4 star album.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2/5

Pretty Colourless

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

Okay-ish. Expected more.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

1/5

What am I listening too? This sounds like somebody put multiple musicians in one room that didn't hear each other and just played what they wanted. Didn't finished it...

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

1/5

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

One of these bands you know but never listened to closely. Really nice album, really nice sound. Had a good time with it.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

4/5

It's a great album. I really enjoyed listening it. It's one of these artist that I knew I should listen too one day.

Sister

Sonic Youth

2/5

Really not my style. I don't like it if the rock is to "dirty" and unclear.

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

This is not my genre. I did not actively dislike it. So that's a compliment and a sign for it's quality.

Orbital 2

Orbital

1/5

This is a waste of time.

Easy listening. Nothing really remarkable but still nice.

Mask

Bauhaus

4/5

When this album came up, I was prepared for some weird stuff once again. It's surprisingly good.

Queen II

Queen

4/5

Good solid hiqh quality album. Wouldn't buy it on CD/LP that's why it's just 4 stars.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

4/5

Had a good time with this one

Wild Is The Wind

Not my kind of music

Peter Gabriel

5/5

This is such a great album. Nice lyrics, nice music. Just a real classic

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

2/5

Not my kind of music. Its Not bad just not mine.

Rio

Duran Duran

1/5

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

Never got to like the sound of Depeche Mode. It's just not speaking to me.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

5/5

I decided to listen to every album... ... sadly, I really like this album. It's not as good as The Smiths. Still pretty descend, nice melancholy. I would buy it, if it wasn't for Morrissey's political views.

American Pie

Don McLean

5/5

One of my favourites!

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Never listened to his solo album before. It's really nice background music

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

4/5

The angry teenager in me wants to give it 5 stars and listen to it on full volume to piss off my parents. The adult is a bit more critical and thinks it's okay, but nothing to listen all the time. Also, not that sophisticated with chord progression and a best of album... So we compromise on 4 stars.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

Really nice Christmas album. Going to listen to it around Chris from now on.

Me Against The World

2Pac

3/5

I liked but its a for one time its nice one

Brian Eno

2/5

Didn't draw any attention while listening.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

Love it.

Trio

Dolly Parton

5/5

I was truly surprised by this album. That's why I am doing the 1001 Album generator to find music I really like which I otherwise would have never discovered.

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

2/5

Not sure why i don't like it. I somehow I don't like the songs. To chaotic, to unstructured. Punk - country is clearly not my thing

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Creedence Clearwater Revival is really a must-listen for anybody into Rock music. I love it so much! Immediate must have for my LP collection.

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

1/5

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

Solid green day album. Others I like more

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

4/5

The reasons I started this, is this kind of album. I never heard about it before. It's not something I would put on regularly but still I enjoyed listen to it and widen my music taste

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

1/5

I am not going to look at this cover any longer then needed.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

1/5

Bob Dylan is on my list "music I should listen one day". So I am happy that I had the chance to listen to him. I really don't like it. Just not my genre.

Parklife

Blur

1/5

This barely sounds like music to met. It's just a bunch of noises put over each other

Vulnicura

Björk

3/5

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

3/5
