2/5
I liked the occasional part of a song, namely Save Me, but the rest was just interesting enough to keep me listening...however did not enjoy it.

Fleetwood Mac
1/5
I didn't like this album at all. I'm not really a fan of the 70s-far-away-from-the-microphone singing style anyway. The only song(s) I thought were passable were the ones where Stevie was singing.
The Smiths
3/5
Liked the sound of this album. Singing style reminds me of Duran Duran. MEAT IS MURDER song is so judgey and a bit spooky. I was in PE alone when the song came on and the cow moo's made me stop and take out my headphones to make sure it was the song and not real-life.
Bon Jovi
4/5
Hard to go wrong with this album, fun to listen to.
The Go-Go's
3/5
Van Morrison
4/5
Beatles
1/5
So many covers.
Dion
2/5
Didn't want to like this as much as I did (which still wasn't much). I was surprised by some nice, smooth bass runs (If I can Just Get Through). Saxophone saved some songs (eg. Born to Be with You). Ended up adding More to You to my music because of how airy-jazzy-funky it was.
Supergrass
4/5
Never heard of them before today, but definitely fits into my music preference wheelhouse.
Slipknot
2/5
I was surprised at how much I was OK with this album. I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to get through the full offering but found myself inadvertently head banging while listening through.
Air
4/5
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
1/5
Each song felt 10 minutes long. I would listen to 20 slipknots over this.
Common
1/5
Couldn't get into this one
3/5
My god the falsetto in the opening track. Didn't know a punk band could do that. I don't like it. Other than that, thought it was a nice, dirty, punk offering. Could have done without the spacy interlude of Starship.
Hole
4/5
I grew tired of Courtney Love's singing tone, especially on the softer songs. Why is every song so long? I imagine I'll come back to this album in small doses.
Nina Simone
3/5
Generally not a fan of the groove-type songs and the trill-y type singing which Nina does A LOT of. And even though I found many of the songs to be quite sad, I enjoyed the jazzier ones regardless.
Stevie Wonder
2/5
This album was OK. I thought the songs with the "skits" would have been better without the "skits." Also, the jibberish Spanish was weird.
Deep Purple
3/5
Would love this album if it wasn't for all of the solos.
N.W.A.
3/5
I like the style, but not to sound like a prude, got tired of the constant profanity. I can see myself coming back to this album occasionally.
Jane's Addiction
4/5
Genuinely enjoyed this album.
Elvis Presley
2/5
Not really my preferred style of music but interesting to listen to it through the lense of "this was revolutionary back in the day"
Beatles
2/5
Actually kind of enjoyed this album. But not THAT much.
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
Finally, some good freaking music. But only giving it a 4 as it's not my total jam genre.
Elvis Costello
2/5
Not bad, kinda weird.
Baaba Maal
2/5
This is nice put-your-head-down-and-write-this-report music. 2
Jack White
4/5
First half of the album I genuinely rocked out. Second half I felt a bit schizophrenic, but I didn't hate it.
Common
3/5
Better than expected. Felt more genuine.
The Electric Prunes
2/5
Almost didn't make it past the beginning of of this album because of how spooky it was. Not really my jam.
Missy Elliott
4/5
Genuinely enjoyed this album and YES it was the clean version. I'll definitely come back to this one.
Dizzee Rascal
2/5
The Notorious B.I.G.
3/5
I really like the style and execution, however, the violence and in-your-face sex knocks this down for me.
Louis Prima
4/5
Love the passion for his meatballs.
The Who
1/5
Was fairly ambivalent about The Who when I started this album. I almost turned off the album during Cousin Kevin. Then I DID turn off the album at Fiddle About. Music is trash, lyrics are worse.

Meh, OK. I don't 'get' Bruce Springsteen. Did someone check on Bruce during Something In The Night? I think he stubbed his toe.

Listen, I'm sure he's revolutionary in the 'sampling' world, but there is definitely a standing-on-the-shoulders-of-giants situation going on here. Hearing the newer, and in my opinion, better, 'electronic rock' with sampling kind of spoils Czukay's efforts.
