1001 Albums Summary

Papapapapaaaaaa papapapapaaaaa better!

My 3rd favorite Santana album <3

I liked it, but I feel I would have enjoyed the trip better with some "mind-bending goodies" :D

Pleasant surprise :)

He might be a fellow compatriota, but his music is really not my thing...

I remember being a kid and hearing my mom say about this sort of music: "This isn’t music, this is pure noise!". I remember thinking to myself "She's too old, she just doesn't get it". Listening to this album 30 years later made me realize something: I'm sorry mom, you were right... There were a couple of passable songs, but some of them made me want to pull my hair out. I'm still not sure what would make a 1 star rating, but this one was really close.

Another almost-1

True classic

Liked a couple of songs better than the previous Brian Eno album, but most others were too experimental for my taste.

after the first 15 minutes, all songs blended together...

uninspired

This is like the "music" me and my buddies would make after getting stupid drunk. The monks might have had a lot of fun creating this album, but it was not fun for me to listen to it.

Better than the previous one

The beatles have never done it for me. It's not that i dislike them, but i also don't get specially moved by the music. This album has a few songs that i found good, the most bluesy ones, but still not enough for an album with 30 songs. Solid 3.

One of my all time favorites 💙

Feels wrong giving this a 5 after Live at the Regal, but i guess if i could have given that one a 6 or a 7 i would have. Anyways, love this album.

Pink Floyd is the epitome of separating the art from the artist: such a great band led by one of the worst kinds of character. But in any case, I've always loved this album, so 4th 5 in a roll!

I have to say I was not surprised this album made the list. I sort of spoiled it for myself when I went to the wikipedia entry for this list and saw "Trash Metal" as one of the featured genres. I immediately knew Master of Puppets was on the list. When I think of "albums that defined a genre", this is the first that comes to mind, and it's arguably the best the genre ever produced. This album will be, almost w/o a doubt, the Number 1 album on this list for me. That is, if Ride The Lightning or AJFA are not included. MoP is one of my top 5 albums. It's probably the one that I've listened to the most times back to back in my life. It's really special to me. More often that not, it transports me back to being 12-13 y/o and discovering my love for this sort of music.

Simon & Garfunkel has never been my thing, but every now and then i enjoy it in small doses

Second album from Kate. I thought the spell was over and i wouldn't enjoy this one but... Happy i was wrong. Her music is not easy to consume, but several of these songs seem to have the potential to really grow on me after a few listens=)

ugh, only a couple of songs were passable for me.

Lol this album genuinely made me laugh out loud. I can't believe how many great tracks are on this album that I've known for years, without even realizing who the artist was behind them! I mean, the guy didn't even bother giving this album a serious name, so he shares some of the blame.. thanks Schmilsson! :D -- great find

Beautiful voice, but the music didn't grab me.

such a beautiful album. I think it's been more than 20 years since I've listened to it whole. Some songs I used to not like (like Silverfuck and Quiet) I now see under a different light. I'm really happy this was included. I can inject Mayonaise and Disarm right into my veins <3

EDM is not my thing, but this was not that bad.

I never paid attention to Portishead, but wow! this one will get many listens in the near future :)

The only bad thing about this album is that it is too short

I was waiting for the first hip hop album of the list. I'm surprised it is this one though, I can easily think of 10 better / more influential albums than this

The only good thing about this album is that i finally know what a decisive 1 looks like

Bass is fire through this whole album

This one is better than 50's album but I'm also giving it a 3 because i need to re-adjust my scale. It is starting to seem like the author of this list and me don't have the same taste in hip hop music =(

Loved it!

Third Kate Bush album and we have not reached 6% of the list...?

I've never been into anything Madonna does. Great dance music I guess, but not my thing :)

Fun music but I've never been a fan.

Great album! I've never listened to it as a whole but ZZ always pumps me up!

I've never been into indie rock, so every band sounds the same to me

This was like listening to a cover band that played a slightly too long set list at a dive bar. I sort of enjoyed it at first but half through it I was ready to pay uo and leave.

<3

Out of the ones we've seen from the 2000s onwards, easily the best album yet

I have never listened to this one. It was cool :), particularly Barbarism Begins At Home

I enjoyed the more blues-rock-y songs

We know now that there are at least two Radiohead albums on this list: OK Computer and this one. Despite having been told many times I'd be into Radiohead, I've never been a fan. This album didn't really make it for me.

I liked the other Brazilian album better

Second Suede album, still digging it!

Got worried when I saw the cover of this album thinking it was going to be the same as the previous African album we got. Track 1, Sax starts playing, then bass kicks in... all my worries went away and immediately fell in love! Great discovery :)

I weirdly knew several songs from this album w/o knowing the album or the artist. My wife's a fan too, w/o knowing her. This is a 3.5 for me, it was a nice find and i enjoyed it =)

I only really like a couple of NIN songs from their entire discography...

I feel I listened to this band's whole discography just by going through this one album... I bet for the audience people on LSD this whole thing was AMAZING, but for me, it was just alright :)

Not often do i find an album that makes me think "what the hell did I just listen to?" I think this is one of the most unique albums we've heard so far. Really unpredictable. I thought i was listening to the radio.. so many genres. Some songs were really good, some others not that much. I think this is a 3.5

It was better than expected, but still not my thing

I think this is prob the album I have enjoyed the most so far, from the one I didn't know anything about. Almost a 5!

As per usual, loved the bluesy songs, the ballads were ok. This is again like a 3.5 but I'm giving it a 4 to remind myself to listen to it again.

Bunch of classics!

This is one of those albums I listened to when I was waaaaay to young to be listening to such a thing :) I discovered both Metallica and Cypress at the same time, but only Metallica stuck. Anyways I'm surprised the author picked this album instead of Black Sunday, I doubt both are in, but I also like this one.

not bad, but not my thing at all...

Even though i do like some individual songs from Prince, this album wasn't my thing

As a Christmas album, it was great. I'm glad this was recommended this week =)

This is the first 5 stars I give to an album I didn't previously known. I really enjoyed this one!

To think she was only 19-20 when recording this album... Amazing album, and I don't doubt we'll also get Back To Black eventually.

not my thing

Well, I knew the first song :)

God, kill me now...

Love this album. I've never heard the live recordings in Spotify, that was a plus =)

Prodigy might be the one EM band I like :)

I didn't realize how much i disliked punk until i joined this site. Even less this cringy teenage stuff

The whole album is like a 3 ir a 2, but this one AWFUL track with the incessant screaming makes it a 1.

Not my thing, but loved the explanations. This had me counting all the time

I've never heard this one. What a lovely album =)

Meh

Pretty sure under other circumstances i would have appreciated this one a bit more, but...

Beautiful! I've never heard this before but I will for sure give it a few more listens.

<3

I can drink to this =)

Best Brazilian album so far imo. There were some songs I really like, and some others not that much.

Fuckin' A -- Besides Born To Be Wild, I've never heard songs from The Cult, but I loved it!

Yawn

Didn't like it then, don't like it now either

I liked a couple of songs but not enough for a 4

This is a 3.5 Enjoyable album. Very likely to grow on me with a few more listens.

After only knowing "Hey ya", my expectation were really, really low for this album. Gladly, I was wrong and there are a few songs that are solid, but 2.25h was too long! it took me a while to be able to sit through the whole thing, and while I liked a couple of songs, I'll never get back to this album :)

Entertaining

Beautiful. Will listen many times =)

Some good songs but got boring pretty quick

I would like to know how much these guys made out of tv/movie royalties. These songs were everywhere... totally deserved though. Couple of good songs I've never heard before, but I doubt I'd listen to this album again.

ah to be 14 again :)

some good songs, but wouldn't listen to it again

Generic....

My introduction to Kid Rock was getting History of Rock because I liked the way Metallica's Sad But True was sampled in American Badass. I never listened to this album other than the two(?) hits. Pretty entertaining :)

Greatest metal band on Earth. No other band can do something like this at this scale. Twice.

only slightly better than the previous Madonna album. It might be bias because I do remember some songs of this one. Still not my thing.

Several gems in here. Need to listen to it again.

Bossa nova is cool in moderation :)

Some good songs, but overall it was boring to me.

Not bad, but one listen is more than enough

Sometimes I see albums that have songs with no more than 40k plays and I wonder if the only people that are listening to that crap are we, the people doing this list. Anyways, this is not my thing. Some songs were borderline ok-ish, but the rest was just hard to listen to.

Cool album

Not bad

got boring quick

What the actual fuck? I could not stop laughing at how bad this was, so in a way it put me in a good mood. OTOH i ended up with a headache. Never again!

it's ok but can we move on from supergrass now, please?

wow this album ticked so many items for me! - Great live recording ✅ - Blues-Rock ✅ - Long epics! ✅ - The freaking Allman Brothers! ✅ Great find!

Not worth a second listen

Pretty interesting album. Maybe 20 mins too long, but good nonetheless. It's sort of a 3.5 for me, but marking it as 4 to give it at least a second listen. Maybe it will grow on me.

beautiful! a few remarkable songs, I will listen to this again for sure :)

It was a bit better than expected, but the bar was low

I'm conflicted about this one. On the one hand it had two songs I really liked, on the other one, it had like 6 that were garbage and it took me ages to go through the whole thing :(

God, I'm just glad it's over...

Meh

Enjoyable=)

I always like to look on the bright side: It can't get any worse than this. I've reached the bottom of the list (and almost certainly of any album ever recorded). There's nowhere to go but up now.

What can i say, 3 out of the 7 songs in this album are in my regular day to day playlists. I actually didn't realize they were all part of the same wonderful collection.

Hating on the Eagles is dumb... Hotel California, the track, is a masterpiece, and the whole album is a solid 5 even w/o this song.

This was fun =)

I was wondering why it was taking so long to get the first Hendrix album. I'm also happy this is the first one I see, it's my favorite :) now give me "Blues" and I can pardon any other crap album from this list.

Another solid album. I've never been a big Neil Young fan but his music is slowly growing on me

I enjoyed it more than expected but one listen is enough

Nothing but gold

Some albums are 40 min long but feel like an eternity. This one is 1h+ long and felt way to short.

Around 15 years ago I spent months OBSESSED with Björk. This album felt wonderfully familiar to me, even though it's first time listening to it. I can't really judge this based on her previous work, because Björk always requires several listens to fully get it (yes, I'm one of those obnoxious people who claims to 'get' Björk), but I really enjoyed going down memory lane while listening to this album.

Jesus christ this was terrible. Almost a 1.

People say you don't get to have new favorite bands after you hit 27 years old. Rush was the exception that made the rule for me. I discovered them way to old in life and I only regret not having listened to them sooner. Neil created so many instantly recognizable patterns and grooves in this album, it's impossible for me not to give it 5 stars :)

this was confusing but not in an entertaining way

As per usual, judging only the music, this is top level

I thought this was going to be boring but boy was i wrong! I would have loved to be there

I listened to this three times over the weekend. All hits.

This was better than expected. It's a 3.5 for me. Worths a second listen if I'm ever in the mood of some semi-funky EM

generic

it was a bit more fun than expected but still not worth a second listen.

This is truly incredible. I really cannot believe I have never listened to her before. I'm a fan now!

It's been around 20 years since the last time I listened to this album. Back then, I was not that into Rock & Roll, so I really didn't pay too much attention to it. What a miss.... Unadulterated energy and timeless riffs <3

Beautiful and entertaining

boring.

So monotonous, so boring. I really don't get the appeal.

Finally! First real hip hop album of the list, and what a way to start! For many, this album is the GOAT from the GOAT. It's definitely a top5 in my (sort of uneducated) personal list of hip hop albums. The album is packed with hits. Now that i'm old, I don't find the sex noises skits funny or edgy anymore so i could live w/o them =) but all in all, this is an easy 5

Some good songs, but way too long.

Another hip hop classic. All good, but I never really liked the WTC

Oh wow, I'm sure i couldn't die without listening to *generic album* by *generic band*. It sure sounds different than the rest of the bands doing the exact same thing

So many hits in this album. I know most of the song but I 1. never knew they were from the same artist, and 2. were all in the same album! I was inclined to give this a 4 initially, but it's really a 5 :)

As far as EM albums go, this wasn't that bad

It might be because I didn't pay too much attention while listening to this, but it didn't grab me.

This was better than expected, only because, after seeing the album name, band logo, picture of the dudes in spotify, etc., the bar was waaaaaaaaaay too low

Good but not great

This was fun to listen too, with a few really solid songs. The Enter the Circus + Welcome combo was :chef-kiss:. The Right Man was also really really good. it's a 3.5 for me, I don't think I'll listen to it again, but I discovered some great songs.

Fun

This was entertaining. 3.5

I didn't expect another album from A Tribe Called Quest. Again, this was cool, but it only makes me appreciate Biggie more. Ready To Die feels decades ahead from this album, lyrically, melodically, rhyme composition.. and it's only three years apart. Anyways, this is good, but not an album i would listen many times over.

Finally some good music after days of draught. More funky disco music pls!

Some really cool beats in this album

This was cool but at some point it all started sounding the same to me. A bit generic and bland.

Say what you will, iggy doesn't make boring music =)

Uninspired. This whole album could have been a prompt.

I've never been a fan, and while this album has a few songs I recognize, I still wouldn't give it another listen.

yawn

I understand this is 80's hip hop, but still i find it cringe

This felt like it was missing the second oart of the album. It was lovely nonetheless=) might have been a five if it were longer

I've bever heard Kings of Leon, it wasn't half bad

Pff, albums like this make this list worth it. Never heard of them and loved it. I could have done without the interviews though

What a great album! it went a bit longer than I would've wanted to, but it makes for such great background music, and it's also really interesting while actively listening to it. I'm giving it a 4, but it's really a 4.5 for me.

As per usual, Beck is the definition of 2.5/5 - not bad, nothing that stands out.

Funny that I've listen to more than half of this album w/o ever listening to it back to back. I love all of the songs i already knew and i love all the ones that were new. Classic album, happy i ran into it =)

Amaaazing album! I really enjoyed this one. Some Santana-esque parts <3. It's a 4.5 for me, definitely worth more listens

This album is the equivalent of motel art, only you're forced to stare at it for 1 hour and 47 minutes

Fun, but once is enough

Not a fan, but this album was better than Hunky Dory. I liked that it was mostly instrumental, and w/o counting the last three songs, I enjoyed all of them.

I had never listen to one full Sepultura album. I got bored of gutural screaming looong time ago and now it's become a bit cringe for me. That said, i did actively listen to this album focusing mostly on the instruments and... Pff, violent, trashy energy! Really good. Do they have any instrumental songs?

Another gem <3 loved it.

Yawn

Exceptional, as the one before

A couple of known songs, but nothing extraordinary. Giving it a 4 because of the Friends finale song =)

another gem! loved this album <3

Better than expected

Maybe I'm just getting tired of kate bush...

This album could've seriously been a prompt. I don't know if im missing the point here, maybe the reason this sounds so generic and uninspired to me is because this is the epitome of this style of music and every other rendition I've heard is just more of the same.. anyways, this was painful to listen to.

Some songs were passable, even good, but most of the album was annoying, I cannot really give 3 stars to an album that took me 2 days to go through.

This was enjoyable though a bit too long. Found the full album on Youtube.

One of the few memories I still have from being 5 years old is listening to Enter Sandman on my cousin's bedroom, I would ask him to play it again and again, not knowing the lyrics or the band or anything. Years passed and I forgot about this song, until I was 13 or 14, when a car passed by me playing this song at full volume. I couldn't believe what I was listening to, it sounded just as cool as it did before. I still didn't know the name of the band or the name of the song, but I memorized it and started singing it constantly until I found it. Enter Sandman was the presentation card of what would become my favorite band ever. Metallica became my gateway to metal, my first inspiration to grab a guitar, and the key to many many memories. Love it or hate it, this album became a milestone in the history of metal, bringing the sound to mainstream. You won't find any other album of this genre that has multiple songs with over a billion reproductions on Spotify. An album that stood the test of time, songs that are still being played and referenced in pop culture. Truly a masterpiece.

This one was arguably better than the previous one. I liked the instrumental songs. It's still not something I'd listen again though

Fun listen. The fact that this album has Personal Jesus almost makes it a 4, but a 3 is more fair.

some good songs, but even the normal songs are somewhat mid. I could have gone w/ a 3 here, but there were many weird parts of this album that made it uncomfortable to listen to.

wow, this is one of those albums that pushes me to keep going w/ this list <3

3.5, i would say even a 4 but i don't want to include it in my next listen

Beautiful, I've never listened to this whole album. It was really entertaining <3

Never been a fan of the Wu-Tang, but this was fun to listen to.

I honestly don't understand why would this album be a most listen...

this is honestly much much better than Superfly. I loved it :)

U2 is a special kind of one hit wonder, all songs are good, but all songs sound the same

Really beautiful voice. Great album when in the right mood. 3.5

Apparently yesterday was Black Sabbath day for everyone here. I've never listened to this album in full, pretty great =)

I get the appeal, and I can appreciate a few of her songs when in the right, melancholic-y mood, but by the end of the album I had this cloying feeling, it was too much. Anyways, this was my first time listening to anything by Lana Del Rey and I'm glad I did find her, but I'm not looking forward to listen to her again :) I really hope the next album has some drums in it!

Nü Metal had bigger exponents, but this is the best album this genre (and this band) ever produced. The only bad thing about this album is how short it is, other than that it's a masterpiece.

Another easy 5. I'm a sucker for this soulful gospel type of music <3

even more beautiful than the previous one

a bit bland, maybe in the right mood, but I was bored the whole time.

I was expecting this to be really bad, but I loved it!

I've never been a fan, but you can't deny quality. I'm definitely going to be listening to more of Adele :)

This one took a while for me to get through...

I'm not super into this african music, but this was good. I specially liked Gomni. I'd say this is a 3.5, not giving it a 4 because I don't think I'll listen to it again.

This was pretty good, a bit generic, but good nonetheless

meh, not remarkable in any way

If all the album would have been like the last 20 minutes, it would've been a 5. None of the other songs did anything for me.

I liked it :)

Another one I loved while on my early teens <3 back when I thought they were anti-establishment :) -- I can't help but love the unadulterated anger of this album! Now is yet another one of those bands where I have to separate the art from the artist. Even though I despise the guy, I can't deny how powerful and wonderfully rhythmic Tom Morello's guitar playing is, specially when combined with Tim and Brad. I'm also glad I got to listen to this album again, cause I didn't know there was a Maynard collab!! never noticed it before.

well, first time I listened to Taylor Swift. Nothing but respect for an artist that can outsell the Beatles, but... maybe I need to listen to it many more times to get the appeal?

This was cool, I won't listen to it again, but I enjoyed it. 3.5

2.5 but I'm feeling generous today. There was nothing on this album that grabbed my attention.

another bland album from the 70s

Lovely <3

Boring

how are albums like this on this list? I'm starting to think I should swap my 1 and 2 stars ratings, at least the 1s have been spectacularly bad, but albums like this are unremarkable in every way.

There's only one song i know about these girls and it's not even in this album. I enjoyed it though

Half of this album was really interesting, I'd probably need to listen to it multiple times. The second half was noise. 3.5

Besides the hit, which I really like, i didn't know any of the other songs. They were Ok, but nothing outstanding

This was cool, worth another listen

Wow this was surprisingly enjoyable. I've never been into indie music all that much, but this band resonated well with me. I'm gonna be exploring their discography=)

There was nothing in this album that made it for me, but it wasn't bad.

Was expecting way worse, but it was ok. It even sounded advanced for its release date.

Love The Offspring. Out of the four albums i heard from them in my youth, this is nr. 3, but still pretty great music <3

Yes is another one of those bands that came to my knowledge way to late in life. Or maybe it came to me at the right time, I wouldn't have understood them otherwise. Now I enjoy them in reverse: I realize how they inspired so many musicians I've been listening to for many years.

75+ minutes of mid

This was good =} Worth another listen

Kiss is always fun. I think I've never listened to a full album. 3.5

I didn't know this band and it's just yet another example of how great the 60s and 70s were. I'm always amazed at how much good music was produced during this period

So many bangers on this album, specially "Since I've Been Loving You" <3

The King. An album with this amount of classics is just unfair to the rest

jesus h. christ this was painful.. took me like 5 days to go through it.

This was a 3.5 but I believe I need to listen to it more times to fully appreciate it :)

This was beautiful! I've never heard anything from Boston other than More Than A Feeling, I loved it all :)

Day and night compared to hunky dory... Is David Bowie finally growing on me? this was the best out of the 3 albums I have heard from him so far :)

I'm torn... I really enjoyed many songs of this album, but it felt waaay too long! that's the problem with albums that include 40% of repeat songs. If we took out the last 30 mins of this album, it would have been a 4.5, but... 3.5

Beautiful voice but... Yawn

Cool, but nothing I would listen to again

Some pretty good songs at the beginning of the album, but I got bored quick

ok, this was objectively beautiful <3 I'm glad I heard this album. I think I need to listen to it many times to fully get it.

ok, but not great

this was a bit annoying to listen to

Jesus f. Christ, i thought I'd never live this down...

This was better than expected. It's not something I'd normally listen to, but will happily give it another go :)

Fucking finally! I'm more of a quarter in on this list and finally I hit a 90s west coast hip hop album! This so much more superior to 80% of the other hip hop trash I've crossed so far. Love this album :) personally I'd selected 2001, I doubt there are 2 Dre albums on this list but who knows. I hope we've now unlocked Snoop and 2Pac and I can start getting their albums.

as expected, beautiful performance, but kinda boring for me.

What can i say, i listened to it twice

Mid

I said maaaaybeeeee you're gonna be the one that saves meeeeee wait, is that not it?

💙

OMG this was unexpected and almost brought a tear to my eye... So many memories... RIP Layne <3

Meh

Now this is the type of funk i can get into

Pff i had never heard this one, makes me want to give a 4 to the previous one by comparison. Bus Driver was 🔥🔥🔥

My first celebrity crush <3 It's increadible how my brain can fully remember some of these songs, even though it's been 25 years since I've heard them. I cannot rate an album with One More Time lower than 4 :)

For an EDM album, this wasn't half bad

Best thing was that it was short

Always fun to listen to Bob Marley, but not enough for a repeat

Pretty solid. Not sure if it's worth a re-listen, but I enjoyed it. 3.5

If I have learned something from this list is that I *don't* like the Beastie Boys... It's been 3 albums by these guys already, can we stop?

God this was horrible. Not the worst I've seen in this list, but horrible.

wow! ok, finally a EDM album I like! it was worth the wait :) I listened to it twice

There were a few good surprises in this album, specially Slow Like Honey, but not enough to give it 4 stars

This is a true gem. I need to listen to it many more times.

It was interesting but not worth another go

Almost right after Funkadelic's Maggot Brain. What a treat :)

It's weird. Not my preference but i liked it as background music. It's more like a 3.5 but I'm giving it a 4 to make sure i revisit it later

I would've been ok with dying only knowing the small excerpt of Song 2 that played in FIFA 98

Good album for sure, but not my thing. 3.5

This was amazing. Really great find.

Yawn.... Omg so boring.

Never been a fan of this type of blues, is it ragtime? i don't know, but it was meh.

Nice background music, but unremarkable.

Beautiful. I liked the second part of the album better

You have to be deaf to not appreciate how fucking cool this sounds ♠️!

Honestly,maybe in the right mood i could have given this album 4 stars, but it was sooo boring, specially after the ace of freaking spades

It was pretty enjoyable :) Not sure if I want to listen to it again though. 3.5

Really good bluesy songs here and there, but not sure if I'd listen to it again. 3.5

I was not able to enjoy this too much. Not that I didn't like it, but id didn't move me all that much.

Ok, no, this one is my favorite for real! I can't choose...

*in Ongo Gablogian's voice* Derivative...

Didn't enjoy it very much, but it wasn't bad

This was unexpectedly fun. It's a 3.5 for me

Initially I thought: "I see, so California Dreaming alone put this album on the list..." but turns out the whole album is not half bad :) California Dreaming is a 5, but the rest is a 3

Cool, this was fun to listen to, and there were a couple of nice bluesy songs, but not enough to enter the repeat list.

Meh

Another meh

Glad to hear what Todd Margaret used to listen with his late dad every Sunday, you know, in Leeds...

I've never listened to a full Nas album, but i really liked it, I'm starting to get why the recognition. It felt like a clear break and step forward from the 80s hip hop

omg so boring...

Not my favorite LZ album, but pretty great nonetheless :)

💙 Even though it's been more than 20 years since I've listen to this album in its entirety, I know it back and forth, note by note.

Lovely <3 Roundabout was the first song I heard from Yes and I loved it from the very start. I have never heard this album in full, so this was a good experience :)

Not bad, but not remarkable either...

This was honestly great :D I wasn't expecting to like this Hair Metal thing that much haha

I can't believe I grew up disliking this...

It was nice to listen to Wild World and get to know the band behind the song, but not enough to earn the 4 stars

fun listen

Ugh. The good songs were not good enough. 2.5

This was cool, I felt hints of several bands I used to like a lot. I think if I would have come across this band back in my teens, I would have really enjoyed it :) It's not really my style of music anymore, so it's closer to a 3 than a 4, but I want to listen to it again, so I'm flagging it for replay.

The blandest of music. I disliked this one a bit more than the previous one. I wonder who copied who, taylor or lana del rey..

Zzzz..

paaam pam pam pam pam paaaaaaaaaaaam paaaaaaaaaaaaaaam

boring....

This was really good! I truly enjoyed it :) nice one to close the year.

I only liked the bluesy songs

Some fun songs, some boring. I would have enjoyed it more if it were half as long

Jesus this was painful! some songs were ok, it felt like a late-90s/00s indie band at times, which I guess speaks well about the album, but it was TOO LONG! it was difficult to get through it...

Ok, maybe I'm feeling guilty cause I gave Daydream Nation a 3 yesterday, but this was better than expected, so fuck it...

This was less bad than I initially thought, but still nothing I would listen to again

enjoyable :)

I've never been a fan of the doors, but i got to admit i see the likelihood of this album growing on me, so I'm adding it to the replay list

tears of joy knowing that Iron Maiden made the list, and that, for sure Fear of the Dark and/or Piece of Mind will be here as well. There's no conceivable world in which the self-titled made it over those two.

meh, but I found one song by Wilco that I did like as a Spotify recommendation after the album was over, so I'll give it a 3

I didn't enjoy it, but it wasn't as bad as to deserve a 2

this album wore me down to a 4 haha, I thought this was an easy 3, but the band sounds really good, the grooves were always on point. I didn't *love* this album, but definitely want to listen to it again.

U2 is one of the bands I've listened to the most w/o ever realizing what is their appeal. Their music is not bad, but it's mediocre at best.

Nothing beats laying on the beach, rum in hand, watching the sunset while listening to this <3

This was really good, i don't want to add it to the replay list, but it deserves at least a 3.5

Beautiful album! Some songs through these album got me thinking: this is a clear 5 stars! some brought me down a bit. 4 stars is a good compromise

Some fun songs, but I can only listen to this for like 10 minutes. 1 hour was painful.

This was fun but not my favorite of bob's albums

Always nice to listen to R.E.M., but I can go a few more decades w/o listen to a full album again.

Good Adele cover

Lovely <3

this was so painful...

pff! This is one of those albums that make the whole effort of going through this list worth it :) So cool to get to know where the essence of the G-Funk comes from

Funny I can see a progression in the 4 albums I've listen so far from David Bowie: Hunky Dory: 2 -- awful Low: 3 -- ok-ish, maybe I should even re-listen, I might have been biased by Hunky Dory Ziggy Stardust: 4! -- I was asking myself if I was starting to like it. Station To Station: now I get it! I do like it :) I can finally admit David Bowie grew on me. This is for sure going into the replay list :)

I was constantly confused, it felt like a 2000s band covering 90s grunge w/ a 70s twist. Not bad :)

If this album had 80 minutes shaved off, I'd give it 4 stars... Not bad, but waaay too long.

I'm a bit conflicted. I think this was a cool album, it's just not my style, but I think it was pretty well done and it was interesting to listen to

I thought it was going to be a drag, but it was actually good. It's perhaps a 3.5 but I'm feeling generous and it's short enough to add it to the replay list.

well, it's been 5 David Bowie albums.. can we stop already? I mean I like the guy, but I would also like to listen to some other artists :) This one was good, but not as good as the previous two, so I won't add it to the replay list.

Really not bad, one of the few early hiphop albums of this list that I like.

nice background music

Some places here and there I thought were enjoyable, but for the most part, I felt I was listening to a Geddy Lee sing-alike w/ his garage band.

Incredibly mid.. completely unremarkable

ugh... I don't like Oasis *but* how can anyone deny the quality of a band and album that had so many hits, including Wonderwall? Everyone likes to shit on Wonderwall now, but not that many bands have songs that transcend time, reach meme level, become so famous that end up being a caricature of themselves. So, even though I won't add this to my replay list, it deserves 4 stars.

Some good songs, but not enough for 4 stars

First Prince album I ever listen to, I was expecting more. It wasn't bad, but it didn't blow me away or anything.

Very good generic 70s music. I enjoyed it, but one listen is enough.

Same as the previous one, fun to listen to, but not worth replay

Meh...

ok this is getting ridiculous now, 7 Neil Young albums?! I'm barely 33% in on this list. Stop it already! That said, good album as per usual :D

God... I usually move past the idiotic political views when the music is good, but this wasn't the case. Boring music, it almost made it insufferable.

This was such a breath of fresh air after enduring that Billy Bragg album. My first thought after the first song started was "Fuck Yeah!". It was enjoyable from start to finish.

There are not that many albums I've been listening non stop for the past 25+ years <3

Another easy 5... so many songs with deep significance in my life :') Free Bird reminds me my favorite bar, where it was always part of the rotation... and I will never forget those afternoons I spent driving, with the sunset ahead of me, looking at the twilight, signing Tuesday's Gone at the top of my lungs

Another gem! 5 stars! I love it when the album is so good I have to listen to it multiple times <3 I can't believe how similar some passages of The Sage are to some of the riffs in Dream Theater's A Change Of Season, DT surely had to take inspiration from this album. I also can't believe I didn't find anyone on the internet saying the same thing...

... Who? I mean i've heard the one hit wonder before, but other than that this was mediocre at best

Hope this is the last one from Public Enemy

This was the third hip hop album in a row from last week, and it was the best. I'm a bit torn, it was good and enjoyable, but not super remarkable. I think it makes sense to add to the replay list. 3.5 stars

Great music. Shitty singer.

Fun to listen

Meh, okay-ish for an EDM album

Unfortunately, I was not able to listen to the whole thing in one go. Loved the first and third songs. I need to pay closer attention to the second one.

It had some decent songs, but for the most part, I wanted to pull my hair out... and it was sooo loooong!

This was good as the previous one, also 3.5, but one of them in the replay list is enough

Way too long, there were some good songs, but it was really difficult to get through the whole thing.

Unsurprisingly a bit boring. Really liked "Oo You" though

meh

Generic 70s music

not bad, but not remarkable. Perhaps the most remarkable thing is that I thought it was an album from 1975+ and it turned out to be 1967. The last song was good :)

This is a nice, interesting album. I really enjoyed several songs: Medley and Just One Victory specially. 3.5

Meh

it was nice but it didn't grip me.

I really enjoyed this, it almost made it worth all the hassle to try to find the Album. It's impossible in certain countries. Here I found some of the songs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQEpgB-BH1Wy0AxcsuyH3lAppn3gWGrJ1 Some others are here: https://www.youtube.com/@concordmusic

this album is taking me so long to finish that I have to rate it earlier to avoid having the list get inactive. I really like Ella Fitzgerald, but a 6-disc album, 3:14h is a bit too much, so I won't add it to the replay list. It's really 4 stars, but I won't add it to the replay list :)

Not bad, but I didn't enjoy it all that much

some good songs, but a bit too backstreet boys for my taste

I didn't go through the whole deluxe songs, just the original album plus the 1995 additions. It was good =)

I only want this kind of music when I'm playing Zelda's wind waker.

Not really sure what this album is doing here.

it was different and somewhat entertaining, but not my thing.

Can we stop w/ Tom Waits now?

I guess w/o the psychedelics, this is underwhelming

This was entertaining, 3.5 :)

I did enjoy several passages of this album, but not enough to give it 4 stars

Bjork for the mainstream? I did like it, enough to grant it 4 stars, but I don't want to add it to the replay list.

generic 90s music

A bit boring...

Meh

Generic pop music. Could have been a prompt.

This was interesting for sure. I enjoyed it and it's almost 4 stars, but I think I'll keep it out of the replay list. 3.5

This was honestly boring. I'm almost inclined to give only a single star, but I guess that would be unfair compare to the other disasters I've found in this list.

Some songs were cool, but most of it sounded like a very washed out Michael Jackson cover. I felt I heard some influences to Jamiroquai though, so I digged that :)

Nice, I liked it, but would only replay it in the right setting.

This had several cool songs, but what is it w/ this Lynyrd Skynyrd fixation? lol In any case, it was fun, but way too long.

- Stop whispering "Plan B" like it's some sort of super covert CIA operation... Plan B is a dance routine. IT'S A GOD DAMN DANCE ROUTINE! - ... and it's gonna rock! Freedom!!

This didn't grab me as much as i thought it would

God kill me

2 EDM albums in a row? god have mercy... though, perhaps it's because the previous one was so awful, this one was at least tolerable.

Generic indie rock

Happy to hear the original That 70s Show intro song =) and the whole album was all alright
