Peter Gabriel · 2 likes
5/5
Very good album. Better than the majority on this list
The Smashing Pumpkins · 1 likes
4/5
This is far too long. And I mean 1 hour over the top. But all their hits are here and there are a lot of other great songs on this. If they cut half of it out it would've been an easy 5. But it's too long and a good few songs don't add to it. It's a 4 but with the quality on this it could've been a 5
Kings of Leon · 1 likes
2/5
Can't give anymore than a 2. This guys voice is very annoying. Day old blues and 4 kicks are decent songs
Hole · 1 likes
2/5
It's alright. Not very interesting. Annoying in parts. Won't be revisiting. Stand out song - plump

3/5
Good energy throughout. A lot of great riffs. I don't agree with it being in the list cause it's a live album. It's far too long also - over 2 hours. Stand out song - Space truckin

4/5
Not my first listen

It's alright. Dreamy. No stand out song
Arrested Development

It's alright. Won't be listening to it again though

Great album. Enjoyed it

5/5
Great album. Great voice. Stand out song - Michaelangelo
Meat Puppets
3/5
It's alright. Very rough
Cypress Hill

Alright. Great riffs. Singer's voice just not for me. Stand out song - 40'
B.B. King
3/5

Good melodies. It's a bit dull though. Stand out song - Trouble

5/5
Great groovy album. Great singer. Stand out song - Hot Love

Tears For Fears
5/5
Great album. Well done lads. Stand out song - Everybody wants to rule the world
Bob Dylan
3/5
It's alright. Most of the songs sound the same. Stand out song - tangled up in blues
Led Zeppelin
5/5
I enjoyed it a lot
Super Furry Animals
2/5
I've been too kind up to this point on ratings albums. This is crap. Nothing that stands out about it at all. Just a mash of noise. Awful
Les Rythmes Digitales
5/5
Great album. Really enjoyed it
The Who
2/5
This was very boring. Not my kind of music at all
The Fall
2/5
It's not awful but it's not great. Funnily enough Spotify played another track by this band after this album finished and it was a great song. Who the fuck chose any of these albums.
The Thrills
3/5
The hits are there and catchy. But the slower songs are too dreary and unmemorable. Stand out song - One horse town
Kanye West
3/5
Read some of the reviews of this reviewing the person who created it. I'm sorry but that's not what this project is concerned with. Judge the album.
It's a decent album. Not really my type of thing. It's definitely well produced but it's just not for me. Stand out song - Jesus walks and Slow jams (the quick rap on this is incredible). - 3
Patti Smith
2/5
Another shoite album. 1001 shoite albums to make you hate music. Why am I putting myself through this? Every album I can't wait until it's over after the first song.
Traffic
3/5
Better than the last two on this list I listened too. Good melody throughout but nothing here worth revisiting
Leonard Cohen
2/5
I was going to give this a 3 but I'm dropping to a 2. It's inoffensive but it's a bit too dull. I listened to two other Leonard Cohen albums on this list. This seems like the worst. The late 80's one I gave a 5 so I no means dislike Leonard, I just prefer his other stuff
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
I love a bit of Bob but not this much. Just not feeling it but it's by no means bad. Middle of the park 3
The Bees
2/5
Boring as fuck. One good song on it and they are just covering it. You're getting a 2
Incubus
2/5
Absolutely crap. The music itself is grand but that singing does my head in. Stand out song (cause he's not singing) - Scalachthica
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
So many hits on this so very close to a 5 but the poor songs are very poor. Stand out song - I'm going down
The Pogues
3/5
Some great songs on this but some stinkers also.
Songhoy Blues
3/5
Good album. Nice to listen to lyrics not in English for a change. No stand out song
The Rolling Stones
2/5
Unremarkable. Uninteresting lyrics. Annoying vocalist for most songs. Stand out - under my thumb
The Jesus And Mary Chain
2/5
This is awful and I like this band in general. The distortion ruins it. What is the point of having the other instruments. Some songs don't have it too loud so that's why it gets to a 2
The Young Gods
3/5
Interesting start to the album. Kind of fizzled out and a bit annoying until the last two songs. Stand out songs - L'amourir and Pas Mal
Joni Mitchell
2/5
Fairly boring. 1 time listen
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
It's alright. Easy listening and chilled. Not much variation. Stand out song - Stir it up
Venom
2/5
Thank fuck that's over. Awful
Willie Nelson
2/5
I was enjoying it until I realised it was a cover album. Sorry but you can't have a cover album in this list surely.
David Bowie
4/5
This is far better than the last Bowie album on this list. It rocks in parts, is odd and a bit dark.
Jeff Beck
3/5
It's alright. Nothing really engaging about it. Rod Stewart gets it to a 3
The Flaming Lips
4/5
I'll give it higher than what it should be based off the other albums on the list. It's different and at least tries to gain my attention
Hole
2/5
It's alright. Not very interesting. Annoying in parts. Won't be revisiting. Stand out song - plump
The Velvet Underground
2/5
This is a bit lifeless. After hours stand out song. Only song i would listen to again
Peter Gabriel
5/5
Very good album. Better than the majority on this list
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
Very decent album. But songs are too samey. No stand out song
Van Halen
3/5
It was pretty good. Better than the police album I listened to previous to this but still only gets a 3.
Kendrick Lamar
2/5
I was expecting big things cause I love the song King Kunta. But this is fucking awful 😖. How is this one of the biggest rappers in the world? This is shit. Nothing catchy at all. Shoite. Stand out song by a billion miles - King Kunta
Animal Collective
2/5
Nothing
The Band
2/5
Boring
Richard Thompson
5/5
Very good album. Enjoy it on my drive
Siouxsie And The Banshees
4/5
This has a lot of interesting songs and some cool riffs. Would be worth another listen
2Pac
3/5
Some good songs on this and the rapping is poetic and melodic. But it is far too long and no real songs stand out to push it past a 3
The Police
3/5
It's alright. Nothing memorable. Some interesting bits. Like most albums on the list it's a 3. Stand out song - message in a bottle
Joan Baez
2/5
Not for me at all. Melodies are OK. Her voice is nice but some bits are deafening. Won't listen again
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Amy has phenomemal voice. Not quite a 5 as it seems to drag a bit. The production on this is great
Parliament
3/5
This is pretty groovy but not many catchy songs besides Give up the funk
Dennis Wilson
2/5
This has a good few decent songs but it's almost 2 hours long. That's too long for an album
Johnny Cash
5/5
Great stuff. Johnny's voice is like no other. The darkness of it is beautiful. Can't but give him a 5 and the setting adds up it
Leonard Cohen
3/5
Was a bit dull for most of it but the songs sister's of mercy and so long Marianne save it
Missy Elliott
4/5
Enjoyable. A lot more upbeat that most of the crap on here. Stand out songs - Work it and Slide
The Clash
4/5
Enjoyed most of it. A lot of very catchy songs on it. Some poor songs which stops it being a 5. More than a good few stand out songs
Nirvana
3/5
Heard it before. Some very good live songs especially the cover ones. But it's weak in parts. I don't agree with live albums being on the list. Might as well allow best of albums then
King Crimson
3/5
Interesting enough but I won't be revisiting
Nina Simone
3/5
Pretty good. Nina has a very distinguishable voice. But no song really caught my ear
Suzanne Vega
3/5
Not bad but not very interesting
Dinosaur Jr.
1/5
This is shit. A struggle to get through. Just sounds so amateur. Should not be on the list
Bob Dylan
2/5
Sorry but not sorry. This is boring as fuck
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
Need drugs for this one. Just not for me. Great voice though
Kate Bush
3/5
Some decent songs but pretty dull to be honest
The Beach Boys
3/5
It's alright. Pretty dull to be honest. Won't be revisiting
Adele
4/5
A lot to like about this album but short of a 5 cause too many songs are too dreary and about the same subject matter. Stand out song - rumour has it
Michael Jackson
5/5
Can the rest of the artists on this list listen to this and cop the fuck on. This is what music about. It's meant to be fun, exciting and catchy. Too many great songs on this. The easiest 5 I will ever give on this list
Carole King
4/5
A lot of hits on this. Great songwriter. Unique voice. Stand out song - you've got a friend
The Avalanches
4/5
Pretty cool and interesting. I knew Frontier Psychiatry before listening and didn't know they did it.
Talking Heads
3/5
It's not bad but nothing really grabs my attention
Sarah Vaughan
3/5
Great voice. Very relaxing. But it drags. Needs the right setting and someone who isn't impatient with ADHD
Björk
5/5
Excellent album. Very unique. True artistry. Magical. Lots of interesting and great songs
Black Sabbath
4/5
Very good album. Heard it before. Makes metal the right way. Stand out song - paranoid
Primal Scream
3/5
This album starts out slow. Found myself to enjoy the middle to end a lot more than the start. Would have rated higher if not for this. Stand out song - Medication
Dolly Parton
4/5
Solid album. Dolly has a great melodic voice. Stand out songs - coat of many colours, A better place to live
Moby
5/5
Excellent. Cool album. I know more Moby songs than I thought. Easily a 5
Skepta
5/5
This was pretty good. Good beats and the lyrics work.
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
3/5
This alright. Has some good moments
Caetano Veloso
3/5
Some nice bits in this album and maybe in he right setting would work better but not for me.
Stand out song - Soy loco por Ti America
Goldfrapp
4/5
Very Europhic. Interesting. Well put together
Creedence Clearwater Revival
5/5
Excellent album. Great band. Stand out song - run through the jungle
The Smiths
4/5
Fairly good album. Might get me into listening to more of the Smiths. Stand out song - girlfriend in a coma
Beatles
4/5
Lots of recognisable good songs but with all Beatles albums there are duds. I think most Beatles albums on this list will be getting the same score of 4 for this reason. Stand out song - I'm looking through you
Black Sabbath
3/5
Some good riffs but nothing really caught my attention
U2
4/5
This almost gets a 5. Some very catchy songs and nice melodies but too many songs have a similar vibe. Needs a change of pace
The Libertines
1/5
This is awful. Half of the songs do have good melodies but half of them are all over the place and they're all mostly ruined by the vocalist. Awful. Can't stand me now is the stand out song
Public Enemy
2/5
All sounds the same. Not for me
The Undertones
4/5
This was pretty good. Some very catchy riffs. A lot better than the other album of theirs that popped up on this list
Paul McCartney and Wings
3/5
Some great songs on this but a lot of unmemorable ones. Nineteen hundred and eighty five is a good song. Never heard it before. Can't give album a 4 though. Stand out songs - band on the run and let me roll it
The Hives
3/5
Some catchy songs. But all sounds a bit the same and fairly annoying. Stand out songs - Hate to say i told you so, the hives are law to are crime
k.d. lang
4/5
There's a lot in this to like. I'm between a 3 and 4. It's a lot better than other albums I've given a 3 to so we'll go for a 4. Stand out song - Constant Cravings
Def Leppard
5/5
Very good upbeat, catchy album. Lots of great riffs and energy. Stand out songs - Animal, Hysteria, pour some sugar on me, don't shoot shot gun
Lou Reed
3/5
Very unusual and different to the usual type of odd album on this list. Stand out song - Perfect day
Black Sabbath
3/5
I liked a lot of it, especially the title song. Solid throughout. Stand out song - Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
3/5
It's alright. Not their best. Stand out song - How many more times
Sam Cooke
3/5
I'll give this a 3. Sam Cooke is great. I'll give him more with a studio recorded album if there is one on this list
Os Mutantes
4/5
Very good album. Interesting and varied.
Nas
4/5
Good beat throughout. Quite cool . Stand out song: Life is a bitch
Doves
3/5
Great start to the album but kind of falls off a cliff after that
Meat Loaf
3/5
It was good. Didn't realise how similar Meat Loaf and Bruce Springsteen music sounds. But Meat Loaf more operatic. The hits are there. Between a 3 or 4. Stand out song - 2 out of 3 ain't bad
Tito Puente
3/5
Just not my type of music. I doubt i have any Latino blood 😅. But it's got good rhythm and flow
Elvis Costello
2/5
This is fucking shit. Very annoying. Laughed at some bits 😅 bumps it up to a 2
Judas Priest
5/5
I was not expecting to like this but this was great. Easy 5. Stand out song - Living after Midnight
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
5/5
There's no bad songs on this. Good variation in songs. You would know it's more than one person's writing. Stand out song - our house (very melancholy)
Black Flag
2/5
A short album but a struggle to get through. It's raw and it has a lot of energy but not for me at this age
Michael Jackson
3/5
Great two songs to start off with but it runs out of steam through the middle. Stand out songs - don't stop till you get enough, Rock with you
Beatles
4/5
First half of album is great but vocals by John ruin a few after that - quite annoying when driving but saves himself with Tomorrow never knows. Stand out songs - Yellow submarine, For no one, Tomorrow never knows
Sparks
4/5
Very unique. A lot of different things going on. Wild. Stand out songs - Talent is an asset, Equator
Belle & Sebastian
3/5
It's very easy listening. It sounds the exact same as Donovan. Vocals almost the same. I prefer Donovan. There better be Donovan albums on this list
Kid Rock
4/5
Well there you go. I think I'm a kid rock fan. A few too many songs and some don't do anything for me but overall a lot of cool songs. Stand out songs - Bawitdaba, devil without a cause, Wasting time, black girl/ white chick
Björk
3/5
Very unusual but there's nothing that really grabs the attention or would require a re-listen
Hanoi Rocks
3/5
It sounds pretty cool. Fairly different to other albums on the list. But nothing pulls me in for a second listen
Thin Lizzy
5/5
I don't think live albums should be on this list but I've listened to do many bad albums on this list and Thin Lizzy are far better than the majority of them so I'll have to give a 5
Peter Gabriel
5/5
Another great album by this man. This challenge has led me to him. It's otherworldly. It's great. It's earthly and creepy at times. Stand out songs: Intruder ,And through the wire
Cyndi Lauper
5/5
Great album. Some classics on this. Too many good songs to name. Easy 5
Metallica
4/5
This Album is great for 3/4s of it but then he last few songs just seem like filler. Lots of great powerful songs on his , though
Fleet Foxes
4/5
Very easy listening album. Good melodies and nice vocals.
The Associates
4/5
Note to self only listen to the original version of the album - these remastered ones are stupid. Album itself is pretty good though. Feeling generous - I'll give it a 4
Waylon Jennings
4/5
Pretty cool album. Close to being a 5 but not quite
The Rolling Stones
3/5
It's alright. Better the first album I listened to off this list from them. But it's uninspiring and pretty dull. Middle of the road 3
Bauhaus
4/5
Bass line in Kick in the Eye is cool 😎. It was a very interesting and unusual album and not over the top. 4
Iggy Pop
3/5
It's alright. Not really that interesting. Middle of the road. Stand out song: passenger
Klaxons
3/5
Another middle of the road album - like most on this list. Very uninspiring stuff but it's not awful.
Paul Simon
5/5
Great album. A very tuneful man
Donald Fagen
4/5
Enjoyable and light. Nothing like it so far on this list which it really needed
The Verve
3/5
A good few very good songs on this but it's all a bit too plain and uninteresting
DJ Shadow
3/5
It's alright. Interesting enough but nothing more than a 3

4/5
Cool album. Nice flow throughout. No stand out song

3/5
It's alright. Good beats but not much to revisit
Sister Sledge
5/5
Great album. Enjoyed it a lot. A lot of great catchy songs on it
Blur
3/5
It's alright some good songs. But not enough. Stand out song - London loves
Mudhoney
3/5
I would have listened to this in the past. I like a few songs off it but overall it's a bit rough. Stand out songs - Touch me I'm sick, No one has
The Afghan Whigs
2/5
I did not enjoy this at all. Singer ruins it. Awful. No vocals on last track
2/5
I do like a lot of Kinks songs but this album is pretty dull. I'm going to rate albums lower going forward. If it does nothing for me but isn't excruciating to listen to I'll be giving a 2. This is getting a 2 for that reason. Stand out song - Victoria
Violent Femmes
3/5
I'll give it a 3 as there's nothing on the list quite like it but i wouldn't listen again
Barry Adamson
5/5
I'm giving this a 5. On a dark night driving to this it's very unsettling.
Rush
2/5
It's interesting enough but not really for me
Leonard Cohen
5/5
Excellent album. I enjoyed. Did not enjoy the first two albums i listened to by Leonard but maybe that's what the 80s does. Stand out song - Jazz police
The Boo Radleys
2/5
Another shoite album. These albums are so dull
Beatles
3/5
Some great songs on this but a lot of them are a bit meh
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Not a fan of the Rolling stones at all. Can't stand Jagger's voice. But there were a few decent songs on this
Otis Redding
3/5
Once again this is mainly a cover album. Great voice but can't give more than a 3
Lucinda Williams
4/5
Very decent album. Some very nice songs on this. Good flow throughout
Beastie Boys
1/5
Fucking annoying besides one song
Aerosmith
5/5
Great album. I enjoyed it. Good fast pace to the start of the album
ZZ Top
2/5
Very dull. Did not enjoy
The Byrds
2/5
Pretty dull stuff
Dusty Springfield
3/5
Great voice, a lot of great songs. But just read these are all covers. Can only give a 3
The Undertones
3/5
Some recognisable songs. It's a decent album but a lot of songs sound very similar
50 Cent
4/5
Pretty good. Good beats and good flow. In da club - one of my favourites of all time
Steely Dan
3/5
Pretty good easy listening. Very good. But nothing really catches me
Slayer
4/5
Great energy. Usually not something I would listen to but this is well worth a place on this. Almost a 5
Stereo MC's
3/5
Starts off really great but halfway through and the end it gets a bit repetitive. Far too long of an album. Stand out song - connected
The Jesus And Mary Chain
2/5
Very dull and repetitive
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
5/5
Really cool album on a long drive. Very dark in places and melodic throughout.
Tricky
2/5
A struggle to get through. Just not for me
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
Some good songs on this but the others are too bland but not difficult to listen to
John Lennon
4/5
A great album overall with some fantastic songs but there are poor ones that just take away from the others - stand out songs - oh, yoko, jealous man, crippled inside, How do you sleep at night
Thundercat
2/5
This started very good and unusual but after that it sounded like the songs were on repeat. A bit of variation for fuck sake 😅. You're getting a 2, could've been much higher
Carpenters
3/5
It's alright. They are a distinguishable band. Easy listening but I noticed too many covers
The Zombies
2/5
Nothing much going on here. Time of the season stand out song
Linkin Park
2/5
I hate this type of music. I'll bump it up to a2 cause he's a powerful singer
Ryan Adams
2/5
Another real duffle struggle to get through. So fucking dull 😑. I'll give it a two cause he hasn't a bad voice and the music is alright but the lyrics and vibe are so fucking dull
David Bowie
3/5
It was alright. But not the worst thing I've heard this week. Lots going on. Give it a 3 for being unusual
Rage Against The Machine
3/5
A very recognisable sound. A good few well known songs. But it's a bit too preachy and doesn't really mix it up
R.E.M.
4/5
I love REM. So many great recognisable songs on this. But there are a few that don't do anything for me. Stand out songs, sidewinder sleeps tonight, Man on the moon, night swimming
Gram Parsons
3/5
An easy listen. The duet pieces are great. Stand out song - Love hurts
The War On Drugs
4/5
This starts off great and in other parts also good. But too many atmospheric slow songs. Suppose depends on your mood. Needs a bit more bite in places
Bee Gees
2/5
Some good melodies and orchestral pieces. But it's dreary and far too long
Prince
2/5
This was crap
Arcade Fire
3/5
This was heading for a 2 at the start of the album but once you get into it gets better. Some good tunes and I like the orchestral vibe of a lot of it. Might get higher with further listens but I've over 600 albums left to listen to so I can't
The Only Ones
1/5
I'm giving this a one. The singers voice destroys it
The Zutons
3/5
Surprisingly this was a lot better than expected. I hate their song Valerie but luckily it's not on this
Dire Straits
4/5
Incredible start to this album but goes to slow in the middle. Saved by brother in arms at the end. This was on for a 5 besides that middle
Morrissey
5/5
I'm giving this a 5. None of it is boring and great opening track and it doesn't stop from there
Korn
3/5
It's alright. They do have their own sound. Just depends on how much you like it
The Doors
5/5
Great album, great flow, great voice. Very mystical. Stand out song - Roadhouse blues
Beth Orton
2/5
There's nothing really wrong with this but it's just doesn't do anything for me. I can see why people do though
Harry Nilsson
5/5
Never heard of him before listening but recognised a few songs. Marey Carey covered I can't live if living is with out you but the original Nilsson version is a whole lot better. He's a great singer
Burning Spear
3/5
It's got a good flow to it but it gets a but repetive after awhile
Sex Pistols
3/5
Some great songs on this but all sounds too similar after awhile
The Stone Roses
5/5
Besides 1 song this album is exceptional. Easy 5. Stand out song - Made of stone
Orbital
4/5
This is pretty good. Good to drive to and workout too. Does get a not too repetitive in parts but it bounces most of the time
Funkadelic
3/5
This was pretty funky. It didn't irritate me. I'll give it a 3
Television
2/5
It's alright. I wouldn't listen again
Portishead
2/5
It's unusual but it doesn't really do anything. Could be just one song and you wouldn't know the difference
Beastie Boys
3/5
Far better than their other album I listened to on this list
Drive Like Jehu
1/5
This is worse than shit. I think some bits are intentionally there to bust your eardrum just for the wake of it. Dogshit
Everything But The Girl
3/5
It's decent. You do fall into the vibe but could do with a little variation
Arcade Fire
2/5
I like City with no Children in it but this is a drag
Bebel Gilberto
2/5
Not bad. Listenable but not for me
The Byrds
2/5
It's alright. I would never listen to again. Stand out song - My back pages (which they didn't write)
Talking Heads
3/5
It's alright. Hard to distinguish where songs end. Stand out song - Take me to the river
The Everly Brothers
3/5
This is a very easy listen. Stand out songs - Cathy's clown, Love hurts
Joe Ely
3/5
Not bad at all very likeable. I think i like honky tonk
Ray Charles
2/5
Pretty good. Sounds cool. But not for me
808 State
1/5
Very annoying
Paul Simon
2/5
This is extremelly dull. First song good and stand out song me and Julio down by the Schoolyard. The rest I never want to hear again
Pretenders
3/5
This was pretty good.
Donovan
5/5
I've heard it before. Great album. Very enchanting
Sonic Youth
1/5
Shit
Michael Kiwanuka
5/5
This is pretty unique and cool. Mesmorising in places
SZA
1/5
This is crap
Queen
4/5
It's a pretty good album. Some songs don't sound like typical Queen songs. Vocals are great and some catchy songs. I'll give it a 4
10cc
3/5
Fairly unique. Not bad
Al Green
2/5
It's not a bad album, great singer but it's pretty dull
Robert Wyatt
1/5
I think you might need drugs for this one. It's awful
De La Soul
2/5
3 is the magic number is great. The rest not so much
Alice In Chains
3/5
Heard this one almost 20 years ago. Doesn't hit the same. Some great riffs but too long and a bit too samey. I'll give it a 3
The Adverts
3/5
A lot better than I would usually give an album like this. But it's pretty good in places
Grateful Dead
1/5
Fuck off
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
This is far too long. And I mean 1 hour over the top. But all their hits are here and there are a lot of other great songs on this. If they cut half of it out it would've been an easy 5. But it's too long and a good few songs don't add to it. It's a 4 but with the quality on this it could've been a 5
My Bloody Valentine
1/5
Absolute cat splat
Norah Jones
2/5
She has a lovely voice , the instrumentals, production and arrangements are all good but it's a real drag. Fairly dull
3/5
Some recognisable songs on this but muse have never done anything for me. I do not like the vocals at all. But I'll give it a 3 as the songs are well structured and they are a unique enough band
Soul II Soul
5/5
This was pretty good. Good beat and tempo. It doesn't sound like an album and all the better cause the shit on this list has completely shifted me away from the idea that an album is some type of art piece. It's not. And for that reason this is scoring a 5 . Kiss my ass 1001 albums to Listen to before I die. An album I don't think feels like an album has a better feel to it that the absolute crap you've put on this list.
Sebadoh
2/5
Some decent bits but singer doesn't do it for me.
Elliott Smith
2/5
Some decent songs but for the most part not much here. Could join up with Sebadoh 😅album I listened to previous to this
Radiohead
5/5
Great album. Miles better than the majority of scutter in a bucket albums on this list. Great songs throughout.
The Modern Lovers
3/5
This was alright but the singer's voice can be a bit annoying after an hour
Joy Division
4/5
This has changed my opinion of Joy Division. The first album I heard in this list was just not for me. This one, however, is far superior. It's a cool dark vibe that works throughout
5/5
I didn't think I would give a Bowie album a 5 but this deserves it. Great songs throughout. Wasn't expecting to like it so much
Van Halen
3/5
It's alright but nothing really to get your teeth into. Guitar is good but I need more than that when listening to music
Dexys Midnight Runners
3/5
It's alright. Nothing to write home about. One of the songs sounds exactly like Werewolves of London
Beck
5/5
Very good album. I'm a big Beck fan. So I didn't want to be biased but this is still a great album
1/5
This is absolute fucking crap. Should get a 0
Fiona Apple
2/5
Album name is cool. But i hope i never have to listen to this again
Johnny Cash
2/5
Live albums shouldn't be on list. There was another Johnny cash live album on this list. That's way too much. I gave the other one 5. This will have to be less
The Auteurs
2/5
The music is pretty good but the singer is not for me. I couldn't listen to him again
Green Day
3/5
The singles that came out from this album when it was released are all pretty good, especially boulevard. But the rest of them are uninspiring and just ordinary. Not sure why the songs are cojoined. I'll give a 3
Beach House
3/5
It's not bad. Does what it says on the tin
M.I.A.
3/5
This is a high 3. A lot of it does nothing for me but it flows well enough. Bingo is a very good song, 10 dollar is excellent, luv it
Mudhoney
4/5
There's something about this album. I'm going to score it well. Some duds but fairly decent stuff
The Byrds
3/5
It's better than their other albums on here but it's not unique. A lot of albums on this list sound like this but it still sounds alright. I'll cut the Byrds some slack
Nine Inch Nails
3/5
Some very good songs on this but it's far too long and with too much filler
Janelle Monáe
5/5
This album is great. It's so unique. It's got a bit of everything. Can't fault it. Standout songs - come alive and wondaland
The Who
3/5
This was way better than the other album so far I heard off this list by the who. Some good melodies.
Fatboy Slim
3/5
This starts off very sloely and boring but builds during the middle. Some great stuff ftom there but the start kills it from getting anymore than a 3
Aretha Franklin
2/5
Great voice but nothing really catches me
Sisters Of Mercy
5/5
This was great. I loved it. Great tunes. Lovely basslines. Stand out song Lucretia
Emmylou Harris
4/5
She just has a magnificent voice. Songs flow nicely
Aerosmith
4/5
You know what, this is the second album by Aerosmith on his list and I would now say I'm a fan. Not as good as the other one but still very good
The Cure
3/5
Some cool dark stuff on this album but not sure where the vocals where or why they were so low in some songs. Very very odd. Could've been better
George Michael
3/5
It's not bad just couldn't really get into something like this. Maybe we a few more listens. Great voice though
Big Brother & The Holding Company
2/5
Again this is a live album, shouldn't be on this list. But it is very good in places and Janis's voice is absolutely amazing live. First time hearing a live recording of her and just wow. Are there any female singers out there that sound this strong instead of singing like 8 year olds ?
The Byrds
2/5
I've no idea why this is the 4th album by these that I've seen. I can't understand. It's so dull and it's mostly cover songs
Iron Maiden
3/5
Not as bad as I was expecting. It has good energy and isn't as cringe as I remember from previous listenings. But it all sounds pretty similar and nothing really catchy
Grateful Dead
3/5
This is a lot better than their other album I listened to off this list. Decent enough but nothing unique
R.E.M.
3/5
This album is very mid. Some hits on it but there's no much that would bring you back
Japan
3/5
This is alright some nice moments but no real bangers in it
Neneh Cherry
3/5
This is cool enough but gets a bit monotonous after awhile. A bit too long also. I like her voice though
Adele
3/5
This is pretty bland. Some decent songs but all seem to be about the same thing. She doesn't throw crap songs at the end so that's a bonus. The 2nd song on the album is definetely stolen 😅
Marvin Gaye
3/5
There's no real catchy tunes here but the vibe it gives off is nice after awhile. Might grow to love it work more listens
Motörhead
1/5
This is getting a 1. Live albums should not be on this list
Wild Beasts
2/5
Nothing really wrong with this just don't enjoy the vocals. Just not for me
The Doors
5/5
Great album. Very mystic with some absolute rockers. A haunting voice. An easy 5
My Bloody Valentine
3/5
Going to rate it higher than I thought I would. Far better than the last album on this list I listened to. Some good riffs and life to it
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
5/5
This was great. I enjoyed it. Stand out song - dragon queen
Talking Heads
3/5
Talking heads for a full album is not what I expected. The voice becomes kind of annoying after awhile and the melodies sound similar. But it's by no means bad, it's alright
Orange Juice
3/5
This was pretty good. I enjoyed a lot of it
Throwing Muses
2/5
This is crap. I dislike the voice and this type of music had its time
New Order
2/5
I was expecting better with it being Joy Division but it's just average.
David Bowie
3/5
This is pretty good. I'm give it a high 3
David Crosby
3/5
It's decent. Some very decent parts. Wasn't keen on he start of it but it grew on me. Might get a higher rating with another listen
Morrissey
5/5
Morrissey is surprisingly good. Unique lyrics and unusually way of singing over the melodies that are also very good. I was thinking of giving it a 4 but throughout it doesn't really have a bad song
The Cure
2/5
This was awful. His voice does not go with this type of music. I actually like the dark vibe the rest of the band are creating but his vocals, as if someone just wandered off the street and started waiiling to themselves
John Lee Hooker
3/5
This is pretty cool. A solid 3. Could get a higher rating with another listen
White Denim
4/5
This is a pretty unusual album. I have to say I enjoyed it. Probably worth another listen also
Kings of Leon
2/5
Can't give anymore than a 2. This guys voice is very annoying. Day old blues and 4 kicks are decent songs
Metallica
4/5
This is a very good album, lots of energy and good riffs but once again too long and some parts just sound repetitive but I'll give it a 4. The thing that should not be is a banger
The Blue Nile
5/5
I'm going to give this a 5. It's pretty cool and very different from the usual on this list
Ice Cube
3/5
It's decent enough. Good beats and rhymes. It's just the lack of variation that makes this no more than a 3
The Smiths
3/5
The smiths have some great riffs and melodies and a unique style but some how Morrisey's vocals don't work for me with them. I've rated his solo stuff higher which some might find strange but it's just personal opinion. Stand out songs: the headmaster ritual and Barbarism begins at home. I'll give it a 3
The Youngbloods
4/5
This was pretty groovy and there were lots of cool elements to it. A lot better than most of the other sixties crap on this list. I'll give it a 4
