I'd rather go to Paul's Boutique than listen to this again. Favorite Track: "Hey Ladies".
It's one of those albums that was only added in the books because of one major hit song.. Ironically, it reminds me of the suburbs. Favorite Track: "Bitter Sweet Symphony".
Gorillaz are my favorite band of all time, and not only is this one of my favorite Gorillaz albums, this is one of my favorite albums of all time. So, because of that, I’m going to switch gears: I’m giving a ranking of every song on the album(I’ll play by my own rules, and ignore the bonus tracks that weren’t on the original album-but-they are fantastic too). So, here is my ranking of each song, from worst to best(keep in mind, there are no “bad” songs on this album in my opinion). 15. “Re-Hash”: If I love an album, I usually hate picking intros, or outros as the worst track on the album because those are the bread, and butter of albums, but I couldn’t help myself this time, because this is clearly the worst song. The boring title of the song reflects the entirety of the song-just simplistic acoustic guitar, and melancholy singing. It’s still okay, but I skip it almost every time I listen to this album because it’s the only song on the album I would rank just “okay”. 14. “Starshine”: This is a bit of a snoozer, and the lyrics are dry, and repetitive. It’s a a cute slow jam, but it’s towards the bottom of this incredible album. 13. “Double Bass”: “All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so” are the only lyrics of the song, which is mainly encased by Bass(or should I say Double-Bass) Guitar. It’s still fun to jam out too, but it’s obvious as to why I have twelve songs ranked ahead of it. 12.: “Latin Simone(Que Pasa Contigo?)”: Literally the only reason I don’t have this song ranked higher is because it’s the only song that’s exclusively not spoken in English, and that’s the only language I can fluently understand. The drums, the guitar, the horn, everything about it is so good(R.I.P. Ibrahim Ferrer). 11.: “Punk”: This song is a tribute to Damon Albarn’s other band, Blur. It’s the lone Punk Rock song on the album, and it’s obvious Albarn is having fun singing gibberish, as well as random space-ship style noises one would hear in a Twilight Zone episode. If I liked Punk Rock Music better, I’d rank it higher. 10.: “New Genius(Brother)”: One could argue this is a Halloween song due to the spooky “oooo” vocals in the back, eerie harmonica, and disturbing lyrics. It’s definitely one I like to creep myself out with in October. 9.: “Sound Check(Gravity)”: The beautiful intro reminds me of a theme from a Zelda video game, and some of the beautiful violin play flutters throughout the song. The main thing holding this one back in the ranking is the fact the entire song is discussing…gravity. 8.: “Man Research(Clapper)”: Unfortunately, I still don’t understand the lyrics, or title of this song, but I still love singing “ya ya ya ya ya” over, and over again, as well as that haunting “hero” chant by Albarn. Could this song actually be about mental insanity? 7.: “Rock The House”: This is the definition of classic Gorillaz: Del The Funky Homosapien, horns, various beats, catchy lyrics, rhythms that make it easy to dance to, and….a recorder? What can go wrong when you rock the house? 6.: “5/4:” The song title is relevant, since that’s the time measure of the song, and you didn’t hear “she turned the dead on”, whether those should have been the lyrics, or not. This is the only song on the album with a touch of Country Music blended within it(and thank God for that). 5. “M1A1”: This is such an incredible way to end the album! With what is probably the loudest Gorillaz song ever, the opening was taken from the movie Day Of The Dead, and the build up to the climax is one of the most euphoric experiences I’ve ever had. 4. “Slow Country”: I don’t know if they referred to speed, a location, or if they meant “rural”, but the title is irrelevant here: This song is perfect for playing on your beach vacation. The tropical “breeze”, Albarn’s soothing voice, and the organ make this a fun Summer jam. 3. “19-2000”: The title of the song, and meaning of the lyrics is saying what we already knew: We ventured into a new millennium. With the voice of “Noodle”, the quirky beats, and the very catchy tune, it’s easy to see why this made my top three. At the time, there was a tremendous amount of excitement going into the new millennium(don’t blame them; they didn’t know any better). 2.: “Tomorrow Comes Today”: The title is an oxymoron, and then we quickly figure out that’s the point. In the most serious, and dark song on the album, the Gorillaz successfully predicted the technological, and digital takeover of the 21st Century, and it’s a terrifying experience we can hear in Albarn’s voice. 1. :”Clint Eastwood”: Titled after the famous American actor(due to the allusions hear in the song from the movie, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly), the greatest Gorillaz song of all time, and one of the greatest songs in the 21st Century takes the number one spot. The bass drums, Del The Funky Homosapien spitting out some of the best rap verses we’ll ever hear, the haunting chorus, the melodica, and the length of the song make this such an incredible journey. Personally, I think this would have been the ideal song as an outro, but what do I know?
No, this is not my new favourite band. If this is a collection of their best songs, I'd hate to hear a collection of their worst songs. Some of the most annoying singing, and clashing of instruments I've ever heard. Favourite song: "Outsmarted"
It reminds me of a 1970s album. It's classic rock that sounds like even classic-er rock. Imagine this playing on a bar patio on a Summer Night. Favorite Track: "She Talks To Angels".
This album makes me emotional, and the feeling it gives me is surreal. This is classic U2, and it also features one of my Favorite songs of all time("I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"). While it could have had a bit more variety, I thoroughly enjoyed the album. Favorite song on the album: "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"(Side One; Track Two).
A fun debut Rock album which takes me back to my middle school years("All These Things That I've Done" is better than "Mr. Brightside", and I'll die on that hill). Favorite song: "All These Things That I've Done".
A Time-less classic, and one of the greatest albums of all time(although I don't think it's the greatest Pink Floyd album). The epic vocals in "The Great Gig In The Sky" sends chills down my spine, and who doesn't love singing "Money" while splurging on the weekend? Finally, the end of the album winds down with the relaxing, yet, emotional "Us and Them", and there is no better way to close this album than "Eclipse". Favorite song: "Us and Them".
The album opens up with a hauntingly beautiful tune, with "Candy Says"( a song which is still very relevant). The album has some classic bangers, and some duds. "The Murder Mystery" sounds like a long lost System Of A Down song. They were ahead of their time, which makes me appreciate Lou Reed before his solo career(I do find it a bit questionable that their self-titled album is their third album, but I'll digress). Favorite Track: "Candy Says"
Given the genre, I definitely enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. I could imagine myself with my Big Iron out in the Wild Wild West. Favorite Track: "Big Iron"
88 years earlier, it didn't impress much much at all. Favorite Track: "2112"
Everything...sucks? Favorite Track: "Everything Must Go"(I guess. It still kinda sucked).
System Of A Down(SOAD) is one of my favorite bands of all time, and ironically, this is actually my least favorite album from them. Since it's SOAD, it's obviously still great though. I can feel the rage in my veins, shouting the lyrics of their politically charged album. They've always been ahead of their time. Favorite Song: "Spiders".
I'll die on the hill that Bob Dylan is one of the most overrated musicians of all time, but I did enjoy this album more than I thought I would. There were some well-written lyrics, and catchy ballads. It still didn't blow me away though. Favorite song on the album: "Ballad of a Thin Man".
Uncle Sam wants you to listen to this album! The United States of America were Insane Clown Posse(ICP) before ICP. With a name like that, it's no wonder they were a one-album wonder. Overall, I enjoyed this in a Juggalo-kind-of-way.
The album opens up with one of the most recognizable musical riffs of all time. Then, similar to eating leftovers, the album gets repetitive, and loses it's charm. Favorite song: "Mannish Boy"
Elevator manufacturers called: They want their music back. At least it had some sexy saxophone throughout the album. Favorite song: "Love Is A King".
A profoundly mediocre album which could do a lot worse, and a lot better. It's a good album to cruise to on the highway. Favorite Song: "Stupidity Tries"
I'll still say(and defend) that Metallica is one of the most overrated bands of all time, but this is(probably) their best album. It has solid mix of headbangers, and slow metal. It also includes one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Favorite Song: "Enter Sandman". (P.S. Why have your FIFTH studio album your self-titled one?).
A solid classic rock album, specifically on the Soft Rock spectrum. It won't blow you away, but it's okay. Favorite Song: "Do It Again".
This "Big Band", Jazzy album showcases some of the most talented musicians in the history of music. Who needs lyrics when we can rock out like it's 1958 again?
When a group of high school boys get together in their parents' basement, and attempt to create rock music. Other than a few catchy jams, I'd pass on this. Favorite Song: "Satin Down".
I can picture myself partying my ass off in some sleazy bar, listening to Sam Cooke spew out some bangers. I'm normally not a fan of live albums, but I enjoyed this fun party anthem album. Favorite Song: "Cupid".
Throughout my entire life, I've always held on to the opinion that The Beatles are one of the most overrated bands of all time, and this album didn't change my mind. If anything, seeing this the highest rated album on this website only helped me double-down on that opinion. Sure, it wasn't what I would call "bad", and it had some talented, and catchy tunes, but it certainly doesn't deserve all the adulation it receives. Favorite song: "Come Together".
Beyonce is a legend, which is why I'm sad I feel obligated to rate this album this low(and on another note, I find it bizarre to have your fifth album as your self-titled album). She still did a great job at singing, but most of the songs were just "meh", and mostly forgettable. Favorite song: "Flawless".
A catchy, fun reggae tune to jam to while cruising around the city, and since I'm white, I can't even relate to Slavery Days. Favorite Song: "Slavery Days".
What a pleasant, yet, melancholy surprise! These are quintessential funeral songs.
The only Iggy I've known in my life is Iggy Koopa, and I'll keep it that way for now. The album was lackluster, and reminded me more of a demo than a studio album, but did have two good songs, if nothing else. Favorite Song: "Lust For Life".
Lots of beeps, and bops-a bit too many, actually. It was definitely a unique experience, but at the same time, not a very enjoyable experience. I certainly hope "Third" isn't ranked their first best album. Favorite Song: "Nylon Smile".
Remember watching those boring history videos in school, and having to listen to that grossly cheesy "patriotic" music in the background? David Ackles is the CEO of that music. Favorite Song: "Midnight Carousel".
The album opens up with arguably the most recognizable guitar riff of all time. The rest of the album has a mixed bag of early 2000s nostalgia, taking me back to my middle school days as a dorky teenager at a Catholic School.
This album is another version of the soundtrack of the video game "Sonic Adventure". There was definitely some talent here, but the lyrics were often comically terrible, and almost every song sounds the same.
I went into this album with way too much hope. While it's a revolutionary album, and had some sick lyrics, I was a bit disappointed. I expected souch better from what is considered one of the greatest rap albums of all time.
Not my genre of music at all, and it didn't help that every song was extremely slow, and could serve as lullabies. At least it ended with a 14 minute, 44 second ballad that wasn't terrible. Favorite Song: "Life Is A Highway".
For the record, this album was released when Adele was 25 years old. I've always had mixed feelings about Adele. In one way, she has an excellent singing voice, and is obviously talented. On the other hand, many of her songs tend to "blend in", if you know what I mean. They don't stick out much, and can be a bit boring. This album starts out strong, but unfortunately, dies off as it goes on. It was okay. Favorite Song: "Send My Love(To Your New Lover)".
Randy Newman always provokes nostalgia, even when he's singing about derogatory slurs. I had mixed feelings about this odd album. Favorite Song: "Kingfish".
An entirely instrumental album, with an influence in East African Jazz. I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. Favorite Song: "Blue a la Machito".
What a wild album(and don't give me any Lip). I had a bit too much fun scattin' on a Monday morning. Favorite Song: "The Lip".
The Gorillaz are one of my favorite bands of all time, but Damon Albarn on this album doesn't have the same magic as he does with the Gorillaz. It's a solid album, but I was expecting it to blow me away. Favorite Song: "Tracy Jacks".
Another album that makes me wish I was alive, and conscious in the 1970s. Great classic rock here with upbeat sounds added. Favorite Song: "Cuckoo Cocoon".
The movie "Groundhog Day" works better as a movie than an album. There is virtually nothing compelling about this album, and is arguably the worst album I've heard in my life.
Just like his "Greatest Hits" album, there are some interesting lyrics, and talent sprinkled throughout the album, but nothing really compels me. It's a decent bop to listen to while cruising on a hot, sunny day. Favorite Song: "La-La For You".
I've always held the idea that The Beatles are the most overrated band of all time. Recently, I listened to the "Ram" album by Paul, and Linda McCartney, and I really enjoyed it, so maybe, just maybe, I can appreciate Paul McCartney in his projects outside of The Beatles. Unfortunately, this album is far inferior to "Ram", and is rather dull most of the time, with a few catchy beats, and tunes. It was about as exciting as listening to "Abbey Road" by The Beatles. Favorite Song: "Kreen-Akrore".
My favorite Reggaeton group of all time released a great album. Bob Marley's lyrics never fail to provoke our happiest emotions. This entire album is a whole mood. Favorite Song: "One Love/People Get Ready".
Yes, it is, and it was okay. It could have been so much better. Favorite Song: "Is This It".
The beginning of the album has big dick energy, but unfortunately, it fizzles out as the album progresses.
A decent jingle album with a touch of sass. Favorite Song: "Gouge Away"
Whoa, what a pleasant surprise! It's like taking a bowl, and mixing the ingredients of Latin American Music, as well as System Of A Down, Gorillaz, and a touch of The Flobots. A diverse group of sounds, and genres made this a fun album. Favorite Song: "Saturday Night"
This album gives me "Sonic Adventure" vibes, and instantly took me back to the early 2000s, sitting in my living room, eating pizza, and playing my Gamecube Nintendo. Other than that brief nostalgic trigger, the album wasn't too impressive. Favorite Song: "Frontier's Psychiatrist"
Normally I would dismiss an album with only two songs on it, but I've been pleasantly surprised. Some albums are named after a title track, and some album titles have deeper, metaphorical meanings. Well, this album title is the quintessential example of onomatopoeia: The album sounds like tubular bells. The beginning of the first song makes me want to hire an exorcist, and the ending of that same song takes me back to exploring a snow route in a "Pokemon" game. No matter what, your favorite, and worst songs on the album will involve tubular bells. Take from that what you will. Favorite song: "Tubular Bells, Part One".
Utter garbage. It's essentially a bunch of high school students yelling, and grunting in their parents' basement, banging things together, and distorting their guitars. Favorite Song: "Luna"
I've always said The Red Headed Stranger, and Johnny Cash are the only Country Musicians I like, but unfortunately, this album is a dud. It sounded too much like normal country for me. Favorite Song: "Red Headed Stranger"
Can you dig this?(Yes, you can). This is the second album from A Tribe Called Quest I've listened to, and it slaps. Some fun, old-school hip-hop beats, and lyrics throughout this album(I was born the year this album was released- good shit). Favorite Song: "Can I Kick It?"
The entire album is essentially just one very long song with background noise, mumbles, moans, and grunts. It's dismal to say the least. Favorite Song: "Only Shallow"
This is music, and it's not very good. Favorite Song: "This Is Music".
"One" is arguably the greatest heavy metal song of all time, and easily my favorite Metallica song. I pledge allegiance, to the fact, that Metallica is an overrated band, with my ears, one man, under music, against the grain...And Justice For All. Favorite Song: "One".
This is a profoundly mediocre album with a rather disturbing album cover. It's decent. The opening, and closing tracks on the album are the best, and the rest is just cannon fodder. Favorite Song: "Las Vegas Basement"
I've never used an illegal drug in my life, but this album made me want to drop some acid, and slowly shake my ass in a groovy motion. What a psychedelic, groovy, fun album. Favorite Song: "I Walk On Guilded Splinters".
Christians have a hard time getting people to read the Holy Bible because it's deemed as "boring", but the Neon Bible isn't much more exciting. Arcade Fire's "Funeral" album has a little magic to it, and was much more exciting; this one deflates that. Maybe that was their Funeral. Favorite Song: "Keep The Car Running"
Aretha Franklin has the greatest singing voice of all time. Combine that with some beautiful instruments, her high energy, and deep lyrics, you have one fantastic album. I thoroughly enjoy every song. Favorite Song: "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman".
It reminded me of that cheesy music you hear in the background of some "B" 1980s movie. It was very lackluster, lacked real instruments, and the singing was unbearable at times. Favorite song: "Karma Chameleon".
This is my second A Tribe Called Quest album. The other one was great; this one, unfortunately, was not-so-great. It was too repetitive, and the lyrics didn't hit me as well as their other album(and I'm still stunned by "The Infamous Date Rape"). Favorite Song: "Buggin' Out"
This is an album I truly would have never discovered if it wasn't for this generator. I had so much fun dancing to the beats, yelling chants, and pretending to play the bongo drums. Favorite song: "Egbe Mi O (Carry Me I Want to Die)"
This is my second David Bowie album in the rotation, and again, I've been disappointed. While it still displays talent, and has some smooth instrumental pieces, it just didn't blow me away like some of his other songs. Favorite Song: "Neukoln"
After listening to this, you'll need Protection for your ears. It's a basic, lackluster album full of songs that pass you by as you're reading a book, or trying to fall asleep. Favorite Song: "Light My Fire".
The songs on here are essentially a new wave version of The Beatles. There are some catchy beats, and fun tunes, but nothing too mind-blowing here. Favorite Song: "Mr. Blue Sky"
I listened to this on a chilly Tuesday morning while working, and banging my head, thrashing about, and screaming your work day away was a blast. This album is fun, energetic, and serves as a musical pick-me-up. Favorite Song: "A.D.I./Horror Of It All".
I appreciate social justice Hip-hop, and the lyrics in every song have a deep meaning, but this album needed a better producer for it to be a top-tier album. Favorite Song: "Satanic Reverses"
This may clash with people on here, but I didn't care for this album at all. It 's loaded with basic English Rock tunes Favorite Song: "White Riot"
It blends elements of folk, rock, and jazz to create a unique sound that resonates with listeners. The album encapsulates themes of love, freedom, fame, and the complexities of relationships. It soothed me at the end of a long work week. Favorite Song: "Help Me"
With a title like this, who would have thought this was by The Police? Copeland’s intricate cymbal work and complex rhythms contribute significantly to the overall sound of the album. Sting’s bass lines provide a driving force behind many songs, while Andy Summers’ echoic guitar chords add depth to the arrangements. It's a solid album, but nothing blew me away. Favorite Song: "Message In A Bottle"
The other Elvis did it better.
Letter from God to Man: Radiohead is overrated. The album is typical 1990s alternative English Rock, and while enjoyable, doesn't deserve all the praise it gets. Favorite Song: "Planet Telex"
G-O-O-D, is that how you spell "weird" in your dictionary? It gave me a fever dream version of The Beatles vibes. Favorite Song: "Greenman".
A typical early 2000s alternative Rock feel throughout the album. I wouldn't say it's highly evolved, but it's worth listening to. Favorite Song: "1969"
I appreciate the talent, particularly from a legend such as Stevie Wonder, but the album wasn't my particular cup of tea. If it was an album which whet my taste more, it would earn the full five stars. Favorite Song: "Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away"
The album is divided into two sides: the “White Side,” featuring more emotional and personal songs primarily written by Brian May, and the “Black Side,” which contains fantastical and theatrical compositions mainly penned by Freddie Mercury. It showcases the band’s willingness to experiment with complex arrangements and diverse musical styles. I'm a huge Queen fan, and while I appreciate the talent, and still stand by my opinion that Freddie Mercury has the best singing voice in Rock 'N Roll history, this album didn't have anything that blew me away. To be honest, I'm disappointed I can't rank this higher. Favorite Song: "Ogre Battle".
A typical pop album since the 2010s. Very bland, fueled by auto-tune, and a lack of instrumental pieces. There were some sentimental moments, but nothing to brag about. I don't mind this type of music in the background of a commercial when I'm reading a book, but other than that, I'll never seek out a Beach House album again. Favorite Song: "Zebra"
Apocalyptic Rock in October? I can't ask for a better situation. Imagining this as the final broadcast in Earth's history is plausible, and I wouldn't mind this being the last thing I listen to before I go off into my spiritual world. Favorite Song: "Words".
"Take Me Out" is one of my favorite Rock songs of the 21st Century, ever since I first heard it as a wild Middle Schooler. The rest of the album didn't floor me away, but it's not bad at all. Favorite Song: "Take Me Out".
It started off with a bang, and then transitioned into instrumental lullabies, and nonsensical lyrics. It has its moments, but this inappropriately named album isn't blowing me away. Favorite Song: "Movin' On Up"
A fun, vibrant R&B Album where every song is unique. It takes me right back to the early 2000s, sitting in my living room, watching music videos on my small TV.
This was my Halloween album...and it couldn't be further from a Halloween theme. It also isn't much further from completely terrible. Favorite Song: The opener.
Even as a white man, I will say this album was ahead of its time, and its message is more relevant now than it's ever been. On another note, it was released the year I was born. With that being said, it could have used a better producer to make the songs more like songs than poems. Kamala Harris For President. Favorite Song: "Fight The Power".
This is the most repetitive episode of boring possible. I barely made it through every track, and other than the opening track, it was enough to make me sleep. I've never been a fan of Country Music(although this one felt more like folk), but this Folk Rock didn't provoke my emotions like it normally does. Favorite Song: "The Virgin"
It feels like a 1980s movie. The nostalgia swarmed my brain throughout the album. The singing, rhythm, and beats are great. This album has been a pleasant surprise to me. Favorite Song: "Everybody Wants To Rule The World".
Until Radiohead proves to me they're not overrated, I will continue to not be impressed-Ok, Radiohead? This album sounded like those computer sounds when your computer malfunctions. It's more annoying than enjoyable. Favorite Song: "No Surprises"
Since I like The Who, I enjoy most songs on the album, but my criteria for live albums, especially on Election Day(let's go Democrats), is I need to feel like I'm immersed in the concert, and this sounded more like a studio album than a concert. Favorite Song: "Magic Bus".
This album soothed me, and helped me mourn the death of Jim Morrison(and the United States Of America). Beautiful poetic lyrics, combined with hard, and soft guitar. It's a shame The Doors didn't last longer. Favorite Song: "Roadhouse Blues"
This album is about as exciting as living in the suburbs. There are some bits, and pieces I enjoyed, but it drug on way too long(sorta like spending too many years in the suburbs). Favorite Song: "Sprawl II(Mountains Beyond Mountains)".
Sounds like a Beatles album with some odd remixes among them. It's a fairly decent album, but nothing to sneeze at. Favorite Song: "Village Green".
This 2016 album may be the newest album in the rotation, but holy shit, this album rocks in the most Mali way. The Desert Blues is a new genre for me, and I'm pleased. Favorite Song: "Al Hassidi Terei".
"Bad Company" is literally part of this album. This is the album your alcoholic uncle has playing in the background on his vinyl when you visit him for Turkey Day. It's a decent Rock album. Favorite Song: "Bad Company".
The only time I've ever wanted to go to prison. Even as a Country Music hater, I still stand by that Johnny Cash is one exception. The greatest Country Artist of all time showing enough empathy to perform at a prison is a magic of its own.
I had a bad feeling about an album titled a number by artists titled by 808 State. What a horrendous experience of lame bleeps, and noises. Favorite Song: "Ancodia"
Just like anything I listen to by Public Enemy, they're better poets than they are musicians. Their songs can use better production, rhythm, and beats. This album's message is still relevant to this day though. Favorite Song: "Night Of The Living Baseheads"
Not quite dreamy, nor sardonic, but a solid 1970s style Rock 'N Roll album. No wonder Led Zeppelin plagiarised off of them. Favorite Song: "Prelude-Nothing To Hide"
The whole album reminds me of a popular surname. It's rather dull, boring, and repetitive(and now, The Queen really is dead). Favorite Song: "Frankly, Mr. Shankly"
I like British Pop, but this was a bit too Brit-Poppy for me. Favorite Song: "Small Talk"
I'm pleasantly surprised! Unfortunately, the name Bush here in the USA isn't associated with such greatness. Some of the most soul-soothing, energetic, and pop-tacular songs are on this album. Favorite Song: "Running Up That Hill(A Deal With God)"
Picture it: Playing billiards at the Vanguard while listening to live music such as this. It has an ambience to it that soothe the soul. Favorite Song: "Gloria's Step"
A psychedelic trip which sounded as if it was recorded in a tent just outside of the infamous Woodstock Festival. A mixed bad from a quality standpoint. Favorite Song: "Love"
Sounds like this glee club from my alma mater known as The Cheezies, except cheesier. Favorite Song: "Poppy"
I was dancing to T. Rex when I was twelve, and this album did not disappoint. This is peak classic rock music. It was haunting, electric, and pure talent. Favorite Song: "Cosmic Dancer"
This was my 100th album for this project, and unfortunately, it didn't make me feel young, or crazy. While I do appreciate the rawness, and authenticity of the album, it needed a bit more of a spice to engage me better. Favorite Song: "Round And Round(It Won't Be Long)"
This definitely wins the award(so far) for the most bizarre title for an album. The album tries too hard to be edgy, but it fails. It does have a handful of headbanger moments. Favorite Song: "Psalm 69".
The Kinks are another version of The Beatles, and this album is no exception. Nothing on here is earth-shattering. It's a mid-tier album. Favorite Song: "Rainy Day In June"
One of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. A fresh Snoop Dogg slaps with hilarious rhymes, catchy beats, and the most complete skits in the genre. Favorite Song: "Gin And Juice"
A masterpiece of underground rock! Every song builds up to a utopic climax of singing, and guitar. Favorite Song: "Gloria"
The album gets a kudos for its raw talent, legendary guitar play, and catchy music one could listen to all day. However, it loses a star based on its lack of originality, given every song is written by someone other than John Mayall, and Eric Clapton. Favorite Song: "What I'd Say".
My Turkey Day album was the Green Bean Casserole(and contrary to what my mind initially told me, this wasn't recorded by Sixpence None The Richer). I give the benefit of the doubt, since he was totally broken as a person, but there wasn't much here that appealed to me. Favorite Song: "Grey/Afro"
If nothing else, this album is versatile. Every song sounds as if it's performed by a different artist. Nothing blew me away, but there wasn't much that was unbearable noise either. Favorite Song: "You Can Call Me Al"
This is the first time I've fully listened to this album in 15 years. Back then, I would have given it a full five-star rating. Now, I have a different perspective. The album does start out with a bang, but eventually transitions into the babbling of what sounds like a 13 year old boy showing off on a tape recorder. Per usual with Eminem, the misogyny is rampant on the album, and while the 1990s were a far less politically correct time, he has lyrics on here that would shock people back then as well. It's still a fairly good album; just not near as good as I remembered it. Favorite song: "Guilty Conscience"
Feels more like 1971 than 2011. Some decent songs, but none of them put an "oomph" in me. Favorite Song: "Keys"
If there is Life On Mars, it won't be the same without David Bowie. Favorite Song: "Life On Mars?"
It's the UK's version of Metallica. Take from that what you will. Favorite Song: "Raise The Dead"
Yes, you need better songs for a higher rating. Favorite Song: "Roundabout"
A profoundly mediocre album. Favorite Song: "Waiting For The Big One".
A powerful album which is still relevant today. It features some of the catchiest jingles, as well as excellent singing, and good vibes. Favorite Song: "Everyday People"
Some decent metal jams here, with guitar play that reminds me of System Of A Down. Too repetitive though. Favorite Song: "Itsari"
Typical ZZ Top-an entire album about women, sex, legs, and cars. I thoroughly enjoyed nearly every song. Favorite Song: "Legs"
It's been on my bucket list to listen to a Talking Heads album, and their '77 campaign was a banger. Favorite Song: "Tentative Decisions"
This album was generated on my dad's birthday, and he was the one who told me about Neil Young. Not a bad album by any means, but I expected better from an artist who is revelled as much as he is. Favorite Song: "Southern Man"
A snoozefest of an album, which makes the listener struggle just to hear. Favorite Song: "Twenty Four Hours"
There is nothing enjoyable about this album: The bigoted lyrics, the sub-par instrumental play, the singing, the production, the beats, and not even one song is "catchy". Favorite Song: "Make It Right"
"The Weight" is one of my favorite folk songs of all time, but it doesn't carry enough weight to help this album's rating. If you enjoy your drunk uncle playing a broken acoustic guitar for his annual Christmas Eve visit, you'll love this album. Favorite Song: "The Weight"
The album includes themes of love, personal struggle, and introspection, but it sounds a bit too much like Christian Pop Rock for me. It got to a point where I was praying for the album to end. Favorite Song: "Born To Be With You"
Electronica garbage throughout the entire album. Favorite Song: "Round And Round"
As a huge Gorillaz fan, this album seems as a catalyst for Damon Albarn's future band. Each song feels like its own unique alternative rock adventure, mixed with some Gorillaz-like sounds. Favorite Song: "Theme From Retro"
I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, and they used to be my favorite band of all time. This is the first Led Zeppelin album I've came across during this generator, and I'm just going to go ahead, and say it: Led Zeppelin is a glorified cover band. Every song on this track is talented, from the sick guitar riffs from Jimmy Page, to the array of instruments from John Paul Jones, to possibly the greatest drum performance of all time in "Moby Dick" from John Bonham. While I want to give it a five-star rating for thoroughly enjoying the songs, and flow of this album, I can't because it surpasses the 25% rule. It's as simple as this-if 25%, or more of the songs on an album are cover songs from other artists, I won't give it a five-star rating no matter what. I have to deduct a star. This really isn't an issue with 99% of artists I come across, but obviously Led Zeppelin is a different story. This album is simply phenomenal from the perspective of sound, and production, but unfortunately, 33.3% of the songs were written from other artists, so it loses a star. The biggest knock against this legendary band is their originality(or lack of for that matter). Favorite Song: "Thank You"
I've only been doing this generator challenge for four months, and this is the third album from The Kinks. Again, just like the other ones, it's a mediocre classic rock album, and there is very little else to say. Favorite Song: "Shangri-La"
As a huge fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, I'm disappointed. I expected much better. It's still a decent album, and starts off with a bang, but tapers down as the album goes on. Favorite Song: "Breakdown"
It was stale, and they also recorded the album with way too low of a volume. One, or two decent songs isn't enough for a higher rating. Favorite Song: "Deja Vu".
This album helped create funk, and disco. While it had some low, disappointing moments, it had a lot of fun, catchy moments as well. Favorite Song: "Run Away Child, Running Wild".
Just like the other Joni Mitchell album I rated, the lyrics, and writing are top tier, but this doesn't necessarily translate into good music. I found myself rather bored while listening to this album. Favorite Song: "The Jungle Line".
One of the greatest albums of all time. It's not just an album composed of incredible songs("The Happiest Days Of Our Lives", "Another Brick In The Wall, Parts 1-3", "Mother", "Goodbye Blue Sky", "Empty Spaces", "Young Lust", "Hey You", "Vera", "Comfortably Numb", "Run Like Hell", "Waiting For The Worms", "The Trial"), it's essentially a musical. Every piece tells an important part of a story, and the overall message goes deeper than most albums. This is the quintessential peak of Progressive Rock. Favorite Song: "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2"
This gave me more 2000s "trying to be a band" vibes than 1980s vibes. The lyrics are bland, the tune feels off, and it seems like the same song over, and over again. A lackluster album with a few highlights for my Christmas Eve. Favorite Song: "Just Like Heaven".
What a pleasant surprise! I love how this generator isn't random for the first time you generate on Christmas! The album is filled with the greatest versions of our favorite Christmas songs. He KILLED it. The only reason it doesn't get the full five stars is because it was composed by a murderer. Favorite Song: "Winter Wonderland"
This is the second Pink Floyd album that's been generated for me in a four-day span. I can do without the intro, and the outro, but other than that, it's an excellent example of Progressive Rock, and the peak of Pink Floyd. I just wish it was a bit longer. When I use this generator, I need to welcome the machine, and take whatever I get thrown at me. Favorite song: "Wish You Were Here".
Ba-dum bop-bee-dop, ba-dum-bee-do! I felt as if I was transported in time to a 1950s diner, and dancing with a woman on top of a table while a cook named Biff sings with us. Favorite song: "Tutti Frutti"
Frank Zappa is one of my favorite artists, so you're probably wondering why I gave this album the rating it did(and so am I). Well, when he was part of The Mothers Of Invention, it doesn't hit the same for me. This is definitely Psychedelic Rock, but I don't like cream cheese, and it just goes wayyy off the deep end. The album is still good, but about half of it is filler. Favorite song: "You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here"
Somehow, her first album sounds like typical Sheryl Crow, which is an accomplishment in itself. Mellow Rock 'n Roll with a touch of folk. Definitely not a bad album by any means, and even contains her most popular song, but I expected a bit better, because all I wanna do is have some fun. Favorite song: "Leaving Las Vegas".
I'll continue to think Bruce Springsteen is overrated until I hear music from him that doesn't sound like a backyard garage band full of teenagers. At least the album provides a relevant message. Favorite Song: "Born In The U.S.A."
I want to kilimanjaro this album. It's just generic 1980s British Pop, and it gets boring quickly. What a disappointing way to close out 2024. Favorite Song: "When I Dream".
Th band gives me Sparks vibes. A chilling album that actually git quite well to open up the new year, but at the same time, never really blew me away either. It's just typical British Rock which serves as decent background music. Favorite Song: "The Fun Powder Plot"
I've always had mixed feelings about The Rolling Stones. They've been such a long-lasting legacy, it should take a really unique album of theirs to make this list, but unfortunately, this album is as unique as grilled cheese. Very bland rock that bores you more as the album goes on. Hell, the best song on the album is a cover song. Favorite song: "You Gotta Move".
Not my favorite Aretha Franklin album, but it does include one of my favorite songs of all time, "Respect"(which was recently voted the greatest song of all time by "The Rolling Stone" magazine). She still graced Earth with the greatest singing voice of all time, and most of her songs will lift your spirits. Favorite song: "Respect"
This is the second album from The Rolling Stones I've generated in the last three days, and this is clearly the better one. It opens up with an anti-war message, and closes with a harsh reality of life. There are also some good songs in between. Favorite Song: "Gimmie Shelter"
"Purple Haze", "Hey Joe", "Fire", "The Wind Cries Mary", and "Love Or Confusion " are some of the most iconic Rock 'N Roll songs of all time. Combine that with arguably the greatest guitarist of all time, and dare I say an elite drummer, this album is one of the greatest of all time. Favorite Song: "Hey Joe"
Whoa! Who would have known Otis Redding inspired Aretha Franklin's songs, particularly her song that was ranked by The Rolling Stone Magazine as the greatest song of all time? On top of that, I thoroughly enjoyed nearly every catchy Blues Beat, and I'm sure The Rolling Stones did too.This album was a catalyst for future Rock 'N Roll. Favorite Song: "Down In The Valley"
Did I hear a "Pokemon" Battle Theme, or a "Pokemon" Route Theme in there? Among that, many electronica bleeps, and bloops. If nothing else, the album gets you motivated, but for what it is, it goes on too long. Favorite Song: "Skylined".
I listened to this whole album in the morning, and there was nothing glorious about it. The album is carried by one big hit, and it wasn't much of an oasis. The singing reminds me of a cringy teen male. Favorite Song: "Wonderwall".
Tonight's the night we admit Neil Young is overrated. Whether he's alone, with a horse, in a band, or in the sand, his music is the same music your drunk uncle plays before the Thanksgiving dinner. One great song, and an appreciation for harmonica saves this from a one-star ranking. Favorite Song: "New Mama".
On one hand, this album consists of some of the best Hit songs of the 1990s, and this album also revolutionized Punk Rock music; it was Green Day's breakout album. On the other hand, the rest of the album is dookie. I can't justify giving this a higher, or lower rating. Favorite Song: "Basket Case"
It gives me a very generic M83 vibe, and eventually becomes boring with overused synths, and bland vocals. One thing is for certain: It's not what I'd call church music. Favorite Song: "Under The Tide"
No, this is not my new favourite band. If this is a collection of their best songs, I'd hate to hear a collection of their worst songs. Some of the most annoying singing, and clashing of instruments I've ever heard. Favourite song: "Outsmarted"
I still stand by the fact that Nirvana would be a forgotten band in the 21st Century if Kurt Cobain was still alive. Other than three songs, the album consists of moaning, depression, depressive-moans, more moans, and grunts(which pretty much consists of the entire history of Nirvana). One of the most overrated bands of all time. Favorite Song: "All Apologies"
This is Feminist Brutish Rock 'n Roll. Solid rhythms, relevant lyrics, and catchy beats. Nothing mind-blowing though. Favorite Song: "O Stella".
This gives me strong Songhoy Blues vibes, and it's difficult to pinpoint its exact genre. I found myself being a little bored with how long, and drawn out it was, but I also found myself bopping to the beats. It's a solid album that I would have never listened to if it wasn't for this generator. Favorite Song: "Soko Yhinka"
(Pronounced 'fuck-ing 'awe-some). Every song on this album is important in its own way(even "Poison Whiskey, the only song on the album I don't like). Whether it's bringing you a wave of nostalgia for "Happy Gilmore" with "Tuesday's Gone", to the catchy ballad of "Gimmie Three Steps", to the somber "Simple Man", to classic blues with "Mississippi Kid", to the anti-drug ballad of "Poison Whiskey", to one of the most iconic songs of all time("Free Bird"), this song has a little bit for everyone, and is arguably the greatest debut album in the history of music. Favorite Song: "Tuesday's Gone".
This is another album that is entirely on here because of two major hit songs. Unfortunately, the rest of the album is just filler of babbling, and mediocre instrument play. Favorite Song: "One Way Or Another"
The singing rarely changes, the beats are stale, and the music is boring. What a slog of an album. Favorite Song: "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me"
It's fitting I generated this album the day before a tyrant takes over one of the most powerful countries of the world. The politically charged album had all of the classic Randy Newman lyrics, and sounds, as well as the "Disney" genre mixed in as well. His voice goes good with his music(even if it is a rough singing voice), and this album is more relevant today than it was when it was first released. Another note: Newman has that ability to provoke nostalgia in his music. Favorite Song: "Political Science"
It's fitting I generated a strong black woman on Martin Luther King Jr. Day(and also the same day the orange tyrant takes over a superpower, but we won't further discuss that fucker). She's essentially a black English version of Joni Mitchell, except her music has a little more pep in it, and her voice is much better. Favorite song: "Help Yourself"
It's hard to pinpoint this exact genre, but it was fairly fun trying to figure it out. Favorite song: "Nocturnal Me"
With a band name such as The The, what do you expect? The album is supposed to be some apocalyptic Punk Rock music, but it mostly fails due to its lackluster sounds, subpar singing, and repetitive rhythms. Favorite Song: "Slow Train To Dawn".
The first half of the album was solid British Rock, as I bopped my head, and jammed out like a rockstar. The second half was quite disappointing, and seemingly performed by another artist altogether. "Ladybird(Green Grass)"
Gorillaz are my favorite band of all time, and not only is this one of my favorite Gorillaz albums, this is one of my favorite albums of all time. So, because of that, I’m going to switch gears: I’m giving a ranking of every song on the album(I’ll play by my own rules, and ignore the bonus tracks that weren’t on the original album-but-they are fantastic too). So, here is my ranking of each song, from worst to best(keep in mind, there are no “bad” songs on this album in my opinion). 15. “Re-Hash”: If I love an album, I usually hate picking intros, or outros as the worst track on the album because those are the bread, and butter of albums, but I couldn’t help myself this time, because this is clearly the worst song. The boring title of the song reflects the entirety of the song-just simplistic acoustic guitar, and melancholy singing. It’s still okay, but I skip it almost every time I listen to this album because it’s the only song on the album I would rank just “okay”. 14. “Starshine”: This is a bit of a snoozer, and the lyrics are dry, and repetitive. It’s a a cute slow jam, but it’s towards the bottom of this incredible album. 13. “Double Bass”: “All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so” are the only lyrics of the song, which is mainly encased by Bass(or should I say Double-Bass) Guitar. It’s still fun to jam out too, but it’s obvious as to why I have twelve songs ranked ahead of it. 12.: “Latin Simone(Que Pasa Contigo?)”: Literally the only reason I don’t have this song ranked higher is because it’s the only song that’s exclusively not spoken in English, and that’s the only language I can fluently understand. The drums, the guitar, the horn, everything about it is so good(R.I.P. Ibrahim Ferrer). 11.: “Punk”: This song is a tribute to Damon Albarn’s other band, Blur. It’s the lone Punk Rock song on the album, and it’s obvious Albarn is having fun singing gibberish, as well as random space-ship style noises one would hear in a Twilight Zone episode. If I liked Punk Rock Music better, I’d rank it higher. 10.: “New Genius(Brother)”: One could argue this is a Halloween song due to the spooky “oooo” vocals in the back, eerie harmonica, and disturbing lyrics. It’s definitely one I like to creep myself out with in October. 9.: “Sound Check(Gravity)”: The beautiful intro reminds me of a theme from a Zelda video game, and some of the beautiful violin play flutters throughout the song. The main thing holding this one back in the ranking is the fact the entire song is discussing…gravity. 8.: “Man Research(Clapper)”: Unfortunately, I still don’t understand the lyrics, or title of this song, but I still love singing “ya ya ya ya ya” over, and over again, as well as that haunting “hero” chant by Albarn. Could this song actually be about mental insanity? 7.: “Rock The House”: This is the definition of classic Gorillaz: Del The Funky Homosapien, horns, various beats, catchy lyrics, rhythms that make it easy to dance to, and….a recorder? What can go wrong when you rock the house? 6.: “5/4:” The song title is relevant, since that’s the time measure of the song, and you didn’t hear “she turned the dead on”, whether those should have been the lyrics, or not. This is the only song on the album with a touch of Country Music blended within it(and thank God for that). 5. “M1A1”: This is such an incredible way to end the album! With what is probably the loudest Gorillaz song ever, the opening was taken from the movie Day Of The Dead, and the build up to the climax is one of the most euphoric experiences I’ve ever had. 4. “Slow Country”: I don’t know if they referred to speed, a location, or if they meant “rural”, but the title is irrelevant here: This song is perfect for playing on your beach vacation. The tropical “breeze”, Albarn’s soothing voice, and the organ make this a fun Summer jam. 3. “19-2000”: The title of the song, and meaning of the lyrics is saying what we already knew: We ventured into a new millennium. With the voice of “Noodle”, the quirky beats, and the very catchy tune, it’s easy to see why this made my top three. At the time, there was a tremendous amount of excitement going into the new millennium(don’t blame them; they didn’t know any better). 2.: “Tomorrow Comes Today”: The title is an oxymoron, and then we quickly figure out that’s the point. In the most serious, and dark song on the album, the Gorillaz successfully predicted the technological, and digital takeover of the 21st Century, and it’s a terrifying experience we can hear in Albarn’s voice. 1. :”Clint Eastwood”: Titled after the famous American actor(due to the allusions hear in the song from the movie, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly), the greatest Gorillaz song of all time, and one of the greatest songs in the 21st Century takes the number one spot. The bass drums, Del The Funky Homosapien spitting out some of the best rap verses we’ll ever hear, the haunting chorus, the melodica, and the length of the song make this such an incredible journey. Personally, I think this would have been the ideal song as an outro, but what do I know?
This is the second live album performed at a prison by Johnny Cash I've generated, and it looks like for the first time, I have to give consecutive 5-star ratings. I thoroughly enjoyed almost every song, and the comedic routines in between the songs were gold. When the audience begged for him to play "San Quentin" again, and Cash joked about the prison ward, I was sold. Johnny Cash remains the only Country Music artist whose music I like. Favorite Song: "San Quentin"
If nothing else, this album is one-of-a-kind. A compilation of our favorite movie lines, TV Show themes, a pinch of Metallica, a pinch of arcade, and as a result, we get an entire album of samples. Favorite Track: "What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 1 – Blue Sky Revisit)"
Not the "Pink", and "Drake" we're used to in the 21st Century, but despite this being one of the shortest albums I've ever heard, it was soothing folk music. Favorite Song: "Road"
A date with the Everly Brothers doesn't sound very fun. It's the same shit over, and over with a few high points every now, and then. Favorite Song: "Baby What You Want Me To Do".
Other than the Title Track, it was sub-par. It became stale, repetitive 1990s alternative music over, and over. Favorite Song: "Celebrity Skin".
This is the second "Third" album I've generated(the first "Third" I had was twenty-fourth). Just like the first "Third", I was underwhelmed. On this one, the shortest song was 18 minutes, and 12 seconds long. This normally wouldn't bother me too much, but with repetitive instrument play, and scarce lyrics, it becomes boring very quickly(especially since this is one of the longest albums I've listened to in my life). For the third consecutive day, I have to give out a "2" rating. I'm tired, boss. Favorite Song: "Moon In June".
Enjoyable Easy Listening music which was apparently played in the "wrong" time measure. It mixed well while driving around on a mild Winter day. I just wish it had some more variety. Favorite Track: "Take Three".
I had a good time listening to this funky track. A couple songs drug on a bit too long, but this is fun '70s Disco music. Favorite Track: "Good Times"
I've listened to my fair share of The Temptations, and their songs are generally too funky, and groovy to pass on. I had too much fun with this album. Favorite Song: "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone".
Did I really just listen to someone improvise piano for over an hour? And I actually enjoyed it? There were some beautiful moments in this concert. Favorite Track: "Part II, A".
If I saw the movie "Shaft", or at least had some visual aid, I would rate it higher. Anyone else agree? Damn right! Favorite Song: "Theme From 'Shaft'".
It's the dollar store version of a Fatboy Slim album. I don't want to get killed, but I wouldn't mind a little more variety. Favorite Track: "Let's Get Killed".
Other than the Hit songs that take me back to my childhood, this album is a dud. Love it, or hate it, it's music. Favorite Track: "Music".
Radiohead fans, where are you all at? In the rainbows? Come on, explain to me why this album is also just junk noise, moans, and random beeps? Favorite Song: "Faust Arp".
I've always liked The White Stripes, but I never thought one of their albums would blow me away. Every song is its own unique adventure, and both Jack White, and his wife Meg White are on point with every instrument, and lyric. A true 2000s Rock 'N Roll masterpiece. Favorite Track: "My Doorbell". (For the first time, I'm giving an album five stars the day after I gave an album one star).
The Police are a mediocre band, and this album is no exception. Their final album is just a typical Police album("Mother" ruined the synchronicity though). Favorite Song: "Every Breath You Take".
A mixed bag of sounds, and quality(reminds me of what System Of A Down did with "Steal This Album!"). It really is a box of chocolates(or tusks, if you prefer). Favorite Song: "That's All For Everyone".
Reminds me of The Prodigy. Very fun dance tunes, and I find it quite humorous this was a rejected soundtrack. Favorite Track: "Build A Fire".
WHO thought this was a good idea? I appreciate the advertisement theme, but that's it. Favorite Song: "Silas Sander".
When this album first popped up, I thought it was either going to be a Metal album, a Christian album, or both. Unfortunately, it's something much worse. It's background noise drowning out the vocals on every track of this agonizing experience. One of the worst albums I've ever heard. Favorite Track: "Sowing Seeds".
THIS is my Valentine's Day gift? The most overrated band of all time? Come on, generator, I already haven't been laid in years, please be kinder to me. It's the best Beatles album I've heard so far, but other than some isolated moments, it's typical Beatles mediocrity.
Jimi Hendrix always provided us with the sickest guitar riffs, and he has some incredible guitar solos on this album. With that being said, this album goes on too long for what it is, and there are some major duds on this album. Favorite Track: "Come On(Let The Good Times Roll)".
Three consecutive self-titled albums? Really, Peter Gabriel? Anyway, just like the other album by his I rated, it's solid British Rock music. Nothing too special, but not bad either. Favorite Song: "Biko"
FOR Bob Marley And The Wailers, it's a bit disappointing. There is still some good reggae on here, as well as meaningful lyrics. I just expected better, that's all. Favorite Song: "Stop That Train".
Iron Maiden is one of those bands I've heard of, but never really listened to. A little soft to be considered "metal" but it was decent music nonetheless. Favorite Song: "Children Of The Damned".
I never have known what to think of Billy Joel, but it sounds like I should listen to him more often. Favorite Song: "Everybody Has A Dream".
¡Qué maravilloso álbum! Me dio ganas de bailar y sacudir el trasero. Cancion Favorita: "El Cayuco"
Bookends on weekends! The album is soothing, and feels like a big warm blanket. Favorite Song: "Mrs. Robinson".
The album sounds like its album cover. I really enjoy Eno's "Another Green World" album, so this disappointed me to know he had a hand in this, even if Robert Wyatt was the main artist. This long fantasy lullaby could put one to shleep. Favorite Track: "Free Will And Testament".
It's official: This is now the worst album I've ever heard in my life. This sounds like a parody of Country Music. Almost as if a Frat Bro decided to make their own Country album, and fake a Southern Accent. Most tolerable track: "Maiden's Prayer".
It's time for the popular question: should we separate the art from the artist? The artist of discussion here was quite bad, and a smooth criminal. However, the artist is also dead, so perhaps it's not worth discussing anymore. With that out of the way, other than his Hit songs, this album was just a typical 1980s Pop Album. Favorite Track: "Smooth Criminal"(but Alien Ant Farm's version is so much better).
Not my favorite songs, but it's unique, and the gloom, and shock value makes this album so special. Favorite Track: "One Hundred Years".
Today, this album is exactly 43 years old, and it's Just another British Pop album with some beeps, and bloops that gets old around the halfway mark. Favorite Track: "Favourite Shirts".
Sometimes, rock 'n roll is noise pollution. Favorite Track: "Freak Scene".
One thing I've found out through this journey is that so many albums have songs that just blend in together, and don't differ much. Again, another three-star album for this reason. Favorite Track: "My Aim Is True".
This is my second album generated from The Cure in the past five days. I didn't like this one as much. It's Gothic Rock, very somber, and can be a bit of a dreary marathon. Favorite Track: "Closedown".
Prior to this album, I was under the impression that Kiss was just a flash in the pan with only a handful of good songs. I'm glad I was proven wrong. This album will rock your mask off! Favorite Track: "Detroit Rock City".
The Rolling Stone Magazine has this ranked in the top ten best albums of all time. I wouldn't go that far, but it's the best Joni Mitchell album I've heard. Favorite Track: "River".
A tale between two halves; the first half was good, but the second half was weak. If nothing else, it's something different. Favorite Track: "Konnichiwa".
It reminds me of a 1970s album. It's classic rock that sounds like even classic-er rock. Imagine this playing on a bar patio on a Summer Night. Favorite Track: "She Talks To Angels".
Two of the greatest Rock songs are on this album, but other than them, not much else. I expected better given the artist. Favorite Track: "Riders On The Storm".
At 3 hours, and 15 minutes, this is now the longest album I've listened to in my entire life. Unfortunately, its length was used to deduct a star in my rating(sorry, but I wouldn't even enjoy a 3+ hour album from my favorite artists). Other than that, it featured some of the best singing I've ever heard in my life as well. Favorite Track: "Night And Day".
Picture it: It's the late 2000s, and you need background music for your poorly created picture slideshow of your Young Life adventures that you're eventually going to upload on YouTube. This album is what you'll use for that slideshow. The only thing saving this from a one-star rating was its versatility. Favorite Track: "Leather".
This is my third straight album that's over an hour long. It's very talented instrumental play, but overall, not my cup of tea, and yes, a bit too long. Favorite Track: "Inner Crisis".
Just say NO to Yes's "The Yes Album". Favorite Track: "Yours Is No Disgrace"(but the album is).
When I saw the lazy album title, and generic name, it gave me Peter Gabriel vibes. The first half of the album pumped me up on a Tuesday morning at work, but the second half let me down. Favorite Track: "Jackie".
It's the Hallmark Channel version of Jazz. It starts out promising, but gets extra cheesy quickly. Favorite Track: "Street Life".
I would be surprised a bootlegged album is in this generator, but since the world has a crush on Bob Dylan, I'm not surprised. The album needed less Harmonica(and more Cowbell). It's a shame this was my 100th Rock Album in this generator.
I'd rather go to Paul's Boutique than listen to this again. Favorite Track: "Hey Ladies".
I never realized how bluesy, rocky, and just plain fun Janis Joplin was. It's a shame she's part of the 27 Club. Favorite Track: "Move Over".
It's one of those albums that was only added in the books because of one major hit song.. Ironically, it reminds me of the suburbs. Favorite Track: "Bitter Sweet Symphony".
This slow, melancholy music worked out well on a somber St. Patrick's Day morning. Favorite Track: "One Of Us Can't Be Wrong".
One can only take so much cultural appropriation before it gets a little old. If nothing else, each sound was it's own unique adventure. Definitely one of the strangest albums I've ever heard. Favorite Track: "Buffalo Gals".
The album title describes the fluctuations within the album. Favorite Track: "Our House".
It gives me Evanescence vibes. The album starts out strong, and putters to the finish line. Favorite Track: "Charlie Big Potato".
This is the third album I've listened to from The Smiths, and I've came to the conclusion I'm not a fan of this band. The guitar, and lyrics are okay, but Morrissey's singing just ruins the vibe on every album. I also think their songs tend to blend in, and aren't distinguished. Favorite Track: "The Headmaster Ritual".
It's that typical African-Brazilian genre we all know, and love. Que pasa contingo? Favorite Track: "Ponta de Lanca African".
A nice ballad album. Not a bad deal. I imagine it'd be a fun album to play around a campfire in the Summer. Favorite Track: "Hippie Boy".
The King of Blues in front of a crowd is a fun experience. Favorite Track: "How Blue Can You Get?"
I'm now Link in the "Zelda" series exploring a sacred building I just discovered. That, my friends, is this ethereal album in a nutshell. Favorite Track: "Beatrix".
It's better than the other Rush album I've listened to, but given it's Rush, it's a bit disappointing. Favorite Track: "Tom.Sawyer".
All I heard was a bunch of newbies practicing in their basement. It's okay Favorite Track: "Two Weeks".
It's time for me, again, to assess another album from the most overrated musical artist of all time-except this time, it actually hurts me a little. While the over-glorified boy-band/1960s One Direction is overrated, I tend to say their music is at least mediocre. However, this album reminded me more of an NSynch album than a typical Beatles album. It's just boy-band pop love songs throughout the album. Favorite Track: "A Hard Day's Night".
Other than the title track, every other song on this album sounds the same. Her singing is so incredible, I can't give it a one star. Favorite Track: "Butterfly".
Just like the other two albums from The Clash I've listened to,vit's a mixed bag. Lots of fun. Lots of talent. Lots of duds. I still don't know how I feel about this band. Favorite Track: "Lost In The Supermarket".
The Rolling Stone Magazine's most recent album ranking has this listed as the greatest album of all time. I wouldn't be lying if I said I wasn't excited to listen to this album. Interestingly enough, this album isn't among the highest rated albums in this generator(granted, it does have high ratings). From a political standpoint, Marvin Gaye was ahead of his time. He beautifully sang about racism, police brutality, populist issues, and even threw in some of his religious beliefs to prove these ideas can coexist. Overall, it was a great soul album with some of the best singing I've ever heard, as well as an array of instrumental talent throughout the album. With that being said, it's still far from the greatest album I've ever heard in my entire life. Favorite Track: "What's Going On".
Peeing your pants can't be as cool as this. Favorite Track: "So What".
Sometimes, an album doesn't need deep meanings. This album is fun, electric, throttled with talent, and some of the best 1980s music you'll ever hear. An easy V-star rating from me. Favorite Track: "Jump".
Ray Charles was an excellent piano player, and that's illustrated throughout this album. I only wish it had a little more variety. Favorite Track: "It Had To Be You".
Sounds like a Diet Coldplay album. I didn't see that one coming at all. Favorite Track: "One".
The greatest female rapper of all time delivered a gem. This right here is prime 2000s Hip Hop featuring some of the most influential rappers of the decade. Favorite Track: "Gossip Folks".
When I saw the artist, I was expecting a completely different sound. Overall, it wasn't bad; just mellow early '70s soul rock(in recent U.S. elections, Trafalgar, and Israel have different meanings). . Favorite Track: "Israel".
A very strong first half, just to be let down by a really lackluster second half. Favorite Track: "Money For Nothing".
Just experimental loud noises that sounds like rejected sports video game music. Favorite Track: "Torn".
Too many cover songs, and there wasn't much that impressed me. It's incredible this band has been rockin' for over 60 years, but that doesn't mean we need their lackluster self-titled album. Favorite Track: "Carol".
It's a group of white people making lots of noise, which engulfs the alleged vocals in the background. Particularly, the final track was a chore to get through. Favorite Track: "White Light/White Heat".
I appreciate his poetry, but this barely qualifies as music. It's a nice lullaby I suppose. Favorite Track: "Three Hours".
Beautiful singing, but it could have used a little more pep in the production aspect. Favorite Track: "Brown Sugar".
I had Black Sabbath on The Sabbath! Yikes! Anyway, this is classic metal. Definitely an album which lacks big hits, but fun nonetheless. Favorite Track: "Under The Sun".
It sounds just like any other Simon And Garfunkel music, as well as any Paul Simon song. Just continuous, monotonous mediocrity in Rock music. Favorite Track: "Cecilia".
The album is too long. In my opinion, virtually no albums should be over 90 minutes. The first half of the album was great, and date I say a Southern USA history lesson with allusions to Lynyrd Skynyrd? Unfortunately, the second half wasn't Rock, or an Opera; it was Country. Favorite Track: "Three Great Alabama Icons".
The same boring "Poppy" sound the entire time, with no unique instrumental play, or beats. Quite possibly one of the worst albums I've ever heard in my life. Favorite Track: "Follarse".
It's well documented that R E M. is a successful band, and this album is no exception. What a fun album filled with catchy riffs, and amazing singing by Michael Stipes. Favorite Track: "The One I Love".
Excellent for it being the 1960s. A fun, classical Blues album that nobody expected to be plagiarized by white men. Favorite Track: "Hoochie Coochie Man".
Decent British Rock by a group of talented women. Favorite Track: "Helter Skelter".
This multigenre work of art needs just one true banger to rate it higher than mediocrity. Favorite Track: "Beautiful".
I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, and they used to be my favorite band of all time. This is the second Led Zeppelin album I've came across during this generator, and I'm just going to go ahead, and say it: Led Zeppelin is a glorified cover band. Every song on this track is talented, from the sick guitar riffs from Jimmy Page, to the array of instruments from John Paul Jones, to one of the greatest Rock Songs of all time-so great, it got its own movie title("Dazed And Confused"). While there are some duds which will prevent me from giving this a five-star rating, I can't anyway because it surpasses the 25% rule. It's as simple as this-if 25%, or more of the songs on an album are cover songs from other artists, I won't give it a five-star rating no matter what. I have to deduct a star. This really isn't an issue with 99% of artists I come across, but obviously Led Zeppelin is a different story. For anyone coming at me with their pitchforks, I applied this same rule to the self-titled album by "The Rolling Stones"(which was also their debut album). This album is great from the perspective of sound, and production, but unfortunately, 33.3% of the songs were written from other artists, so it loses a star. The biggest knock against this legendary band is their originality(or lack of for that matter). Favorite Track: "Dazed And Confused".
