Track 1: Vicious (7/10) Great album opener with a very proto-punk style riff. Not sure how I feel about his vocals yet, it's almost like spoken poetry. Track 2: Andy's Chest (8/10) Loved the guitar in the intro, but the drums and backing vocals kicked it up a notch! Loving these lyrics, very creative and fun. Track 3: Perfect Day (5/10) I've heard this song with better vocals before. The strings are nice, though. Track 4: Hangin' Round (6/10) Pretty good rock track. Feels like it came out of the mid-60s. Track 5: Walk on the Wild Side (10/10) That opening bass slide is so iconic. Lou's lyrics and vocal delivery make this song, it's the first one where I think his voice matches the song perfectly. Absolute classic in my books. Track 6: Make Up (6/10) The tuba is kind of hilarious but adds a lot to the song, I feel like there wouldn't be much here without it. Track 7: Satellite of Love (4/10) Not for me. Sounds like the worst kind of song Paul McCartney would write with terrible vocals. Sorry y'all. Track 8: Wagon Wheel (7/10) Another punky song. I enjoy how upbeat this one is and the drums are on point. Track 9: New York Telephone Conversation (7/10) This is a fun little track that tells a funny story. I feel like Lou thrived writing these type of nonsense songs. Track 10: I'm So Free (7/10) A nice rock song about feeling great! Had my head bobbing along the whole time, really fun! Track 11: Goodnight Ladies (7/10) Imagine this song sung by Frank Sinatra. I like the jazzy feel of this track, one of the better ones on the album. Overall: 7/10 I was hoping to love this due to it's reputation but I'm not a big fan of Lou's vocals for the most part, which brings it down a point. It may grow on me, but for now it's an enjoyable album with some glaring flaws in the middle.

Track 1: Independent Women, Pt. 1 (7/10) Very much a product of it's time, enjoyable and the ladies are talented vocalists. The Charlie's Angels shoutouts didn't age well at all. Track 2: Survivor (4/10) I've never liked this song. Generic early 2000s r&b garbage. Track 3: Bootylicious (8/10) On the other hand, banger! The only Destiny's Child song I'll defend, it has a fun chorus, I love the Edge of Seventeen sample and it makes me feel fierce as a cis white male with no butt. Track 4: Nasty Girl (1/10) Oh okay, we're just gonna slut shame after 3 female empowering anthems lol what a tone deaf, terrible song. Track 5: Fancy (1/10) What the H happened here? Another song about hating women. This is kind of lame. Track 6: Apple Pie À la Mode (3/10) This song is kind of weird but I actually didn't hate it as much as the last two. It's just the ladies simping over a hot dude. Track 7: Sexy Daddy (3/10) Filler garbage I'll never listen to again. No substance and not catchy enough for me to care. Track 8: Independent Women, Pt. II (2/10) Very strange reprise. Could have been cut out to shorten the runtime cause this is one looooong album. Track 9: Happy Face (6/10) Pleasantly surprised by this one, it isn't great but it's uplifting and showcases their vocals beautifully. Track 10: Emotion (3/10) I liked the acoustic guitar. Not much else to say. Track 11: Dangerously in Love (6/10) Pretty love song. Kind of blends in with nothing standing out besides Beyoncé's vocal performance. Track 12: Brown Eyes (4/10) I just don't care about this album at this point. I'm in physical pain listening to how generic these songs are. Track 13: The Story of Beauty (2/10) I'm glad it's a female empowerment song rather than a female hate song but that beat is so bad. Track 14: Gospel Medley (5/10) I'm very anti-religious so I should hate this more but it's generally inoffensive and I'd rather listen to an a capella gospel medley with beautiful singing than another generic r&b song with crappy beats. Track 15: Outro (DC-3) Thank You (1/10) Thankfully this is the last track cause I don't think I can handle any more of this. Overall: 3/10 This was genuinely so painful to listen to outside of a couple songs. Bootylicious is so good that it bumped up the rating. It's obviously a product of the early 2000's. Tonally all over the place and I can't stand the percussion on almost every track. Never gonna listen to this again. Fav Song: Bootylicious Least Fav Song: Nasty Girl

Track 1: More Than a Feeling (10/10) This is one of the most overplayed staples of classic rock radio, and for good reason. Great riffs, beautiful harmonies and enough variety to keep it interesting make it worth listening to. Track 2: Peace of Mind (9/10) Just realizing that I'm probably gonna know all of these songs lol legendary chorus, the harmonies are easily the best thing about Boston. Track 3: Foreplay / Long Time (10/10) Oh my god I love this! The keys especially stood out to me, super proggy in the intro and perfectly utilized throughout the rest of the track. Plus the guitar solos! Man... Track 4: Rock & Roll Band (7/10) Pretty fun, but a little disappointing after 3 bangers in a row. Track 5: Smokin' (10/10) Amazing riffing and a super catchy keyboard solo! I can't hear this song without thinking about South Park. Track 6: Hitch a Ride (8/10) This song has my favourite guitar solo so far! Also, I didn't expect to love the keyboards as much as I do since they're not normally my favourite instrument. Easily the highlight of the album for me! Track 7: Something About You (7/10) The filler tracks on this album are honestly still really great thanks to the guitar solos. This song felt super short for some reason... Track 8: Let Me Take You Home Tonight (8/10) The lyrics may be generic by today's standards but it's too sweet for me to care! I think this song is really cute and I would totally use it for a wedding or something similar. Overall: 9/10 I knew I would like this album but it somehow beat my already high expectations. It deserves it's stellar reputation and I would say the 3 elements that made me love this were the guitar solos, harmonies and especially the keyboards! This'll be getting much more attention from me in the future. Fav Song: Foreplay / Long Time Least Fav Song: Rock & Roll Band

(12 Track US Edition) Track 1: Holidays in the Sun (9/10) This is the first of the four songs I already knew. Even though it's artificial, I still think no band personified punk as much as these guys. The guitar playing is honestly pretty great and Johnny Rotten was the perfect punk frontman. Track 2: Bodies (7/10) I like the lyrics on these first two songs. Pretty fun track. Track 3: No Feelings (7/10) A song about narcissism. I'm wishing this album had more variety at this point but it's what I expected so far. Still pretty good! Track 4: Liar (7/10) There's a section in the middle of the song I really enjoy, but it's more of the same otherwise. Track 5: Problems (5/10) This song is kind of boring, repetitive and too long... Track 6: God Save the Queen (8/10) I always found this song to be very clever! It's nothing mind blowing but it gets me moving and the lyrics are *chefs kiss* Track 7: Seventeen (6/10) Meh, not much to this one. Filler track. Track 8: Anarchy in the U.K. (10/10) I still think this is one of the best punk songs ever written. The lyrics embody everything that punk stands for, Johnny's snarling is incredibly influential and the guitar work is good enough to keep things interesting. Classic. Track 9: Sub-Mission (8/10) Is this about banging underwater? Lol one of the highlights so far cause it's so weird, I wish every song was like this one. Track 10: Pretty Vacant (9/10) Another classic song, which probably has my favourite guitar and drum work on the entire album. Track 11: New York (6/10) I don't think this song has aged particularly well but the instrumentals are pretty good. Track 12: EMI (6/10) The Sex Pistols were true punks despite their origins, and I think that's what this song is going for. Pretty enjoyable but not really noteworthy. Overall: 7/10 This entire album sounds exactly as I expected it too. Johnny Rotten was the perfect frontman for this band and I always felt like the behind the scenes stories were more interesting than the music. That being said, its all pretty classic punk and I had a good time overall. Only one song outside of the big four popular ones surprised me at all.

Disclaimer: I'm not really looking forward to this one... Track 1: Welcome to the Jungle (9/10) I want to try and judge these songs as they are but it's difficult when some of them have been so grossly overplayed throughout my life. With that being said, I do think this is a pretty great song overall. Slash is a great soloist and Axl's voice fits the song nicely, I just hate all the moaning he does. The bridge before the last chorus is the best part. I never want to hear this song again. Track 2: It's So Easy (6/10) Duff is the secret weapon for GnR and I love that he gets a great bass intro this early into the album. The rest of the song does nothing for me until Slash's solo. Track 3: Nightrain (6/10) The lyrics are so generic, it gives me a headache. However, I really liked the instrumentals. Once again, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I hear people praising Axl's vocals cause most of the time he sounds like a dying cat to me. Track 4: Out Ta Get Me (4/10) A song so generic that I zoned out and had to restart it. I still don't remember anything about it. Track 5: Mr. Brownstone (9/10) This has always been the one GnR song that I've never gotten tired of and I still stand by that statement. I actually adore Axl's vocal delivery in this song and the chorus is so much fun! Track 6: Paradise City (9/10) I remember seeing Slash live in the 9th grade (a long time ago) and being so hyped that he closed the show with this one. It's my favourite riff in their discography and another song where I don't hate Axl's vocals. It's horribly overplayed now though. Track 7: My Michelle (8/10) That riff made me do a hardcore stinkface lol easily the best song I hadn't heard so far. I wouldn't mind hearing this one if it came on the radio. Track 8: Think About You (7/10) I had my foot tapping with this one! Pretty good song overall, not something I see myself listening to all the time though. Track 9: Sweet Child O' Mine (5/10) I'll give this song the credit it deserves. The opening riff/bass interplay is incredible. I hate everything else and I'm not sure if that has to do with it being the single most overplayed song on the planet. It's hard to listen to it objectively cause rock radio has ruined what I genuinely think could be a good song. Maybe I'd rate it higher otherwise. Track 10: You're Crazy (5/10) Another forgettable song that I have nothing to say about it. I guess the guitar work is good but that goes without saying. Track 11: Anything Goes (3/10) What is with the squeaking in the beginning? The lyrics are gross and the music is boring. Track 12: Rocket Queen (6/10) Another song where Duff gets to show off! I don't think it's a great album closer though. Overall: 6/10 I don't hate this album. The high points are incredible (even if I'm sick of hearing them) and the lows make me either cringe or fall asleep. It's still the best thing that GnR ever released and I believe it deserves to be in this list for it's cultural impact alone. Fav Song: Mr. Brownstone Least Fav Song: Anything Goes

Track 1: Stardust (7/10) I would love to listen to this while out in a field, looking up at the stars. Very beautiful and Willie has a classic country voice. Track 2: Georgia On My Mind (5/10) I enjoyed it, but it feels emotionally flat for me and I have a hard time connecting to it. Track 3: Blue Skies (7/10) This might be my new favourite version of this song. Very pretty! Track 4: All of Me (5/10) I don't think Willie's voice fits most of these upbeat songs actually, the instrumentation is fine but the vocals aren't powerful enough for me. Track 5: Unchained Melody (8/10) In contrast, his voice is gorgeous in the slower songs. I can see myself listening to this one over and over again. Track 6: September Song (6/10) Pretty song. Not much else to say. Track 7: On the Sunny Side of the Street (5/10) Uh oh, I'm running out of things to say about these songs. They're all starting to blend together. Track 8: Moonlight in Vermont (5/10) I'm officialy so bored, the songs aren't bad but they all sound the same. Willie's voice can't save it at this point. Track 9: Don't Get Around Much Anymore (6/10) This is a bit better, we needed a song that was more upbeat at this point even if Willie is better at singing the slower songs. Track 10: Someone to Watch Over Me (6/10) Decent closing track, one of Willie's better vocal performances on the album. Overall: 6/10 Not a bad album. I found it hard to concentrate near the end due to the samey feeling of the songs. I get bored easily by slow country unless I switch it up in between, but then I wouldn't get a full album experience. Willie is still a legend and I'm hoping to enjoy his other albums better.

(I won't be rating skits or interludes) Track 1: We Don't Care (9/10) I love this song. It's a perfect introduction to Kanye as a rapper, and his rhymes flow perfectly with the creative beat. Track 2: All Falls Down (9/10) I love the acoustic guitar in this beat! Syleena Johnson's vocals also add a lot to this one. Track 3: Spaceship (8/10) This one is a good showcase of Kanye as a singer, even his rapping is melodic. The featured artists also understood the assignment and I actually like the second verse more than Kanye's. Track 4: Jesus Walks (10/10) Kanye's first masterpiece. I'm not even religious but Kanye has a way of making his faith feel authentic. Or at least, he used to... Track 5: Never Let Me Down (7/10) Kanye did some producing for Jay-Z before this so it made sense for them to collab on this album. It works pretty great but I don't love Ivy's verse. Still a good song that shows what Kanye and Jay-Z can do together. Track 6: Get Em High (7/10) A low stakes, fun song to jam to! Talib and Common we're legends at this point so it shows how much influence Kanye already had. Track 7: The New Workout Plan (8/10) The type of song that makes me laugh and dance in equal measures. Hilarious. Track 8: Slow Jamz (8/10) Pretty decent until Twista shows up and demolishes Kanye. The only thing that sucks is that it's just a song about sex but it's not really sexy at all. Track 9: Breathe In, Breathe Out (6/10) The rhymes weren't good enough to go with the decent beat, still enjoyed it though. Track 10: School Spirit (7/10) Good story to go with this one! Not the best but definitely Kanye lol Track 11: Two Words (6/10) I think this album could've had a couple songs cut and it would be better. This is one of those songs I'd cut cause it was nothing special. Track 12: Through the Wire (7/10) The lyrics made me laugh which brought it up a point. The beat is nothing special really. Track 13: Family Business (9/10) Oh man, this one got me. Kanye is at his best when he gives off a vibe of authenticity, which I totally got from this song. Loved it. Track 14: Last Call (10/10) I honestly love that this doubles as a great album closer and a behind the scenes look at the making of the album. Great stuff, I could listen to it forever and never get bored. Overall: 8/10 Look, I have no love for Kanye West the human being. He's arrogant, antisemitic and disgusting. I do, however, have a lot of respect for him as an artist. I think it's important to be able to separate the art from the artist because if you can't do that then you might as well stop listening to music, or watching movies, or looking at paintings, etc. because so many artists are shitty people. I'm not saying that other people should listen to music that makes them uncomfortable, because it's truly up to the individual what they want to listen to. I just disagree with that mindset. Looking at this album for what it is, I think it's a borderline masterpiece. The only reason it isn't getting a perfect rating is that it's a little lengthy and I wish he cut out one or two of the weaker tracks. I still love this album despite hating Kanye and his politics.

Track 1: About a Girl (10/10) The definitive version. So beautiful and perfectly adapted to an acoustic setting, especially thanks to Dave's restrained performance on drums. Track 2: Come as You Are (8/10) One of my least favourite Nirvana songs, but it's one again made better by being acoustic. Track 3: Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam (10/10) I want to approach live albums by watching the performances if they're available so I'm watching this one. I started this song giggling at how goofy Krist looks with the accordion and ended it with tears in my eyes. No matter how many times I watch this unplugged I get emotional thinking about all the what-ifs surrounding Kurt. Absolutely beautiful rendition here. Track 4: The Man Who Sold the World (10/10) I can't even put in to words how much I love this song. It's up there with Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" and Cash's "Hurt" as one of the best covers of all time. I might actually need a break cause I'm getting extra emotional this time lol Track 5: Pennyroyal Tea (10/10) I'm a mess right now. Kurt going solo on this one was genius. Track 6: Dumb (10/10) This performance would already be perfect, but you add in that cello and it brings it to a whole other level. So hauntingly gorgeous. Track 7: Polly (9/10) I won't write it down here, but this song is incredibly dark if you know the story behind it. Great performance, love the harmonies. Track 8: On a Plain (10/10) Incredible. Dave going lower on his harmonies gives it a different feel than the studio version that I love. Track 9: Something in the Way (9/10) That cello, man! I feel like a broken record but this song is beautiful lol Track 10: Plateau (8/10) Another solid cover. I've heard these songs a million times and I still haven't listened to the original Meat Puppets versions besides Lake of Fire, and I'm saving them until it pops up here. Love the lyrics. Track 11: Oh Me (9/10) Love Kurt's vocals, I think he benefitted from not playing guitar on these songs. Track 12: Lake of Fire (10/10) This song is so hard to sing, you could tell Kurt was straining his vocal chords but it was so worth it! Probably my favourite performance from him in the entire show. Track 13: All Apologies (10/10) Once upon a time, I tried to convince an old girlfriend to make this "our song" (I was in highschool) lol she actually hated Nirvana so I knew we weren't meant to be...this is still one of my favourite Nirvana songs and this performance is wonderful. Track 14: Where Did You Sleep Last Night (10/10) Goosebumps. When he starts to scream you can feel every emotion he was feeling. Masterful, powerful, all the hyperbole you can think of. Overall: 10/10 Nirvana was an important band when it came to the development of my music taste. I fell in love with the emotion, the aggression, the punk rock attitude. It wasn't until I got older that I was truly able to appreciate how important these guys were to the entire landscape of music, and regardless of how overplayed or overhyped they might be, I think they're one of the most important acts in all of music history and there will never be another band like them. Kurt died before I was born, and now I'm the same age he was when he died. He's such an important figure in my life and the lives of so many other people that I know, and I hope that if there is an afterlife that he knows just how much he means to the world. Also his songs in acoustic are banging oh my lord Fav Song: The Man Who Sold the World Least Fav Song: Come as You Are

Track 1: Halfway Home (7/10) I like the vibes of this song, I would love to listen to this at 2 am while driving on a busy highway. (That sounds like hell actually but it's what this song makes me think of lol) Track 2: Crying (8/10) This one is kind of funky! I loved the last minute especially when all the instruments are given time to shine. Track 3: Dancing Choose (8/10) I can see the punk influences on this track. Has some of the best lyrics so far as well! Track 4: Stork & Owl (8/10) I appreciate how diverse this album is while still feeling like the same artist. This song is a pretty slow burn with some lovely string arrangements and it's probably my favourite one so far. Track 5: Golden Age (7/10) I'll have to look up a live performance of this song cause there's so much going on and I feel like seeing it live would make me appreciate it more. Still a pretty great song! Track 6: Family Tree (8/10) They're very good at these pretty slow songs. The lyrics are true poetry. Track 7: Red Dress (7/10) The intro made me laugh after such a slow string-laden song lol this is another funky, danceable song. I enjoyed it. Track 8: Love Dog (7/10) The type of song that feels like they wrote the music around the lyrics, and I mean that in a good way! It makes it feel poetic. Track 9: Shout Me Out (9/10) So great! The drums especially got me with this one, they change the vibe of the song constantly. Track 10: DLZ (6/10) There wasn't much in this song that really stood out to me compared to every other track. Not bad, but the only song that made me think "I've heard this before". Track 11: Lover's Day (8/10) The vocals are so great on this song. All the instruments come together in an interesting and beautiful way. Overall: 8/10 I'd heard of TV on the Radio for well over a decade now but somehow never actually heard a single song by them until today. I had zero idea of what I was getting into and what I found was a pleasant surprise that made me think of Talking Heads, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, etc. Very different artists to compare to for sure, but I got all of those vibes from these guys. I'm not sure if it's something I would have ever seeked out if it weren't for attempting this list, but I'm glad I got to listen to it and I'm gonna try to listen to it a few more times and maybe I'll appreciate it even more. Fav Song: Shout Me Out Least Fav Song: DLZ

Track 1: The Earth Died Screaming (6/10) This doesn't feel like a song. It lives up to the album title cause it just sounds like a bunch of bones being hit by even more bones. Track 2: Dirt in the Ground (6/10) The piano is nice but I don't like whatever Tom decided to do with his voice here. I respect his commitment to being as weird as possible though. Track 3: Such a Scream (9/10) This is what I'm talking about! This song came straight out of hell. Waits is wailing like a demon and the percussion is all over the place. I love it. Track 4: All Stripped Down (4/10) This is minimalism at It's worst. Tom needs to give up that falsetto thing he's doing cause it doesn't work for me lol Track 5: Who Are You (8/10) It seems like I'm gonna judge the songs mostly based on his vocal performance. This one is pretty stellar, I love the guitar behind it. Track 6: The Ocean Doesn't Want Me (N/A) Hard to rate poetry over dissonance, so I'll skip this short interlude-like track. Track 7: Jesus Gonna Be Here (7/10) Sounds straight out of the 40s. Waits must have sold his soul to the devil to achieve this sound. Track 8: A Little Rain (7/10) A little bit country, a little bit reminiscent of his early dive bar days. Track 9: In the Colosseum (8/10) I love the percussion here, and Tom sounds so evil! Very fun track. Track 10: Goin' Out West (9/10) This is possibly the most accesible song on the album. Pretty rockin', and Tom has so much power in his vocals here. Track 11: Murder in the Red Barn (6/10) The story telling is great, nothing really caught my attention though. Track 12: Black Wings (6/10) I like the guitar, and Tom's vocals feel so menacing. Not much else to say. Track 13: Whistle Down the Wind (9/10) Beautiful. I feel like I'm on a farm, far away from society, pining after a sweet lady. Love the vibes. Track 14: I Don't Wanna Grow Up (6/10) It's fine, but the Ramones did it so much better and I struggle not to compare this version to that one. Track 15: Let Me Get Up On It (N/A) Interlude Track 16: That Feel (6/10) Decent closing track, I like the weird choir vocals that come in. Overall: 6/10 I've always found Tom Waits to be hit or miss. He has some big hits here and a few misses but, surprisingly, I felt a lot of it was kind of meh. I could see myself checking it out again but I'll stick to Swordfishtrombones for the most part.

Track 1: Them Bones (10/10) Hits you in the face like a train. Quite possibly the heaviest riff that Jerry ever came up with. Track 2: Dam That River (9/10) I've always considered this to be one of the weaker tracks on the album, and it still slaps hard. Another sick riff and great harmonies in the verses (that's pretty redundant to say about AiC) Track 3: Rain When I Die (10/10) That opening bass line makes me do a hardcore stink face every time. This has to be one of the sludgiest songs ever written. Layne's vocals are so incredible. Track 4: Down in a Hole (10/10) The prettiest song on the album. It used to make me cry every time I heard it and I got a little close on this relisten. Track 5: Sickman (9/10) Time to give Sean Kinney some props! He makes this song so much better with his drumming, opening the song with some great tom work and controlling the pace throughout. Very underrated drummer. Track 6: Rooster (8/10) I love the lyrical content of this song and the opening harmonies are so gorgeous. I also tend to skip it a lot when relistening to the album as I've heard it 10,000,000 times. Track 7: Junkhead (10/10) Best chorus on the album! I sometimes think it's my single favourite song on Dirt as well. Very heavy and emotional. Track 8: Dirt (10/10) That opening mixed with the bassline (props to Mike Starr) destroy my brain in a good way. Sludgy, doomy, heavy and badass. Track 9: God Smack (9/10) Layne's vocals are so strange here and fit the song perfectly. He was a true artist who knew how to make every song better. Track 10: Untitled (N/A) Hard to rate this as it's barely a song, but Tom Araya from Slayer is on this track! Track 11: Hate to Feel (10/10) Once again, Sean Kinney makes this song. His drumming impresses me so much here, I can tell it was fun to come up with his parts. Track 12: Angry Chair (8/10) The lyrics are inspired and knowing the background makes it much better. Track 13: Would? (10/10) One of the best radio hits I've ever heard. Jerry gets to sing lead on the verses, Layne shows off his chops during the chorus and that outro gives me goosebumps every single time. Overall: 10/10 I didn't even need to listen to this one considering that it's a Top 10 album of all time for me and Alice in Chains are a strong contender for my all time favourite band. I love how depressing and doom-laden their songs are and it's always amplified by the haunting harmonies of Layne and Jerry. Sean ans Mike are also on top form here and I can point to quite a few moments where they stand out. If I had even one small complaint it would be that Jerry doesn't sing lead as much as I would like. Fav Song: Dirt Least Fav Song: Rooster

Track 1: Natural Mystic (8/10) As laid back as I imagined. Classic reggae sounds with a bit more of a rock feeling. Track 2: So Much Things to Say (8/10) I'll have to look up the meaning of this song, but it feels angry despite the chill atmosphere. It's interesting they're able to pull off that vibe. Track 3: Guiltiness (7/10) Pretty good track. Not much to say as it kind of blends in with the first 2 tracks. Track 4: The Heathen (7/10) I should have gotten stoned before listening to this lol Track 5: Exodus (9/10) Awesome, hypnotizing song. I loved the vocals on this one, and it's groovy as hell! Track 6: Jamming (10/10) Classic. Everything about this is perfect reggae and it's got a bit of funkiness to it as well! Track 7: Waiting in Vain (7/10) Another one I feel I would appreciate more with a few bong rips lol Track 8: Turn Your Lights Down Low (7/10) This is the most different song on the album. A full on slow jam about doing the nasty. Track 9: Three Little Birds (10/10) My favourite Bob Marley song, and by entension, my favourite reggae song. I love the guitar, the lyrics, the background singers and the message. Track 10: One Love/People Get Ready (9/10) Beautiful and uplifting. Overall: 8/10 I'm not a huge fan of reggae as I feel it can get same-y very quickly. For some reason, Bob Marley's music doesn't have that affect as often for me. This was an enjoyable listen, even if I didn't love the songs I hadn't heard yet. I look forward to the other Bob Marley albums in this list. Fav Song: Three Little Birds Least Fav Song: The Heathen

Track 1: Papercut (6/10) Decent enough opening track. The outro is the best part cause Chester is actually singing. Track 2: One Step Closer (9/10) Very nostalgic and fun to listen to. Might not be a technical marvel but I love Chester'a voice and the chorus is so catchy. Track 3: With You (6/10) Good little track that sounds on par for this era of Linkin Park. Mike's raps are hit or miss for me but this one was okay! Track 4: Points of Authority (7/10) On the other hand, his rapping is the worst part of this song. Love the vocals and everything else sounds the same as he rest. Track 5: Crawling (5/10) Even when I was super into Linkin Park's singles, this was one that never got much of a reaction out of me. Not bad, but nothing special. Track 6: Runaway (5/10) I'm starting to get really bored of their formula. There's not much variety and I think they figured things out better on later releases. Track 7: By Myself (6/10) Chester's screams are so fire. Everything else is meh. Track 8: In the End (9/10) This is easily the best song on the album due to the piano intro and the chorus. I even love Mike's parts. Track 9: A Place for My Head (5/10) I liked the intro and it all went downhill from there. Track 10: Forgotten (4/10) The most straighforward nu-metal song on the album. Not a fan. Track 11: Cure for the Itch (5/10) Instrumental track that goes by quick and makes me feel nothing. Track 12: Pushing Me Away (4/10) This is a worse version of Crawling and I already don't enjoy Crawling. Overall: 5/10 For nostalgia's sake, I wanted to rate this a 6 but it's not a good album. It probably sounded slightly different to everything else at the time but it isn't unique enough to be interesting and there's truly no diversity on the album. The only song that differs from the formula even a little bit is In the End. I love Chester's voice but nothing else about these guys really grabs me anymore. Very thankful for their existence though as High School me had a great time with them. Fav Song: In the End Least Fav Song: Forgotten

Track 1: Misunderstood (8/10) The piano in this track is gorgeous. This is my first exposure to Wilco, and while I'm a bit anxious about the album runtime, this song is a good first impression. Track 2: Far, Far Away (8/10) Awe man, this is a great country rock song. Super chill and I really enjoy the vocals. Track 3: Monday (7/10) Didn't capture me like the first two tracks but I like the horn arrangements and it's pretty catchy. Track 4: Outtasite (Outta Mind) (7/10) Good track, short and to the point. Track 5: Forget the Flowers (8/10) Banjo makes every song better. Great guitar solo in this one too. Track 6: Red-Eyed and Blue (9/10) What a beautiful song! I even love the corny whistling near the end, this is easily my favourite song so far. Track 7: I Got You (At the End of the Century) (7/10) Solid rocker, could have been a huge hit in the early 2000s. Track 8: What's the World Got in Store (7/10) Cute little track. Track 9: Hotel Arizona (6/10) This one kind of went by without amy emotional response from me, which I found weird cause it's definitley a good song. Just one of those moments where I felt nothing from something that's obviously worthwhile. Oh well. Track 10: Say You Miss Me (9/10) So cute I wanna cry! Great end to the first half of the album. I'm enjoying it so far, but I'm gonna take a slight break before I start to feel the length of the album lol Track 11: Sunken Treasure (7/10) Pretty good, slightly longer than it could have been. Track 12: Someday Soon (6/10) Pretty standard southern rock tune. Track 13: Outta Mind (Outta Sight) (6/10) Meh...not too into the second half of this album so far. Track 14: Someone Else's Song (9/10) Very folksy, a highlight for sure! Great lyrics. Track 15: Kingpin (7/10) Pretty good, I loved the intro but the rest of the instrumentation isn't bad. Track 16: (Was I) In Your Dreams (6/10) Pretty boring track, wasn't wowed by his vocal delivery either. Track 17: Why Would You Wanna Live (8/10) Loved the instrumentation for this one. Very laid back but still fun! Track 18: The Lonely 1 (6/10) Couldn't keep my eyes open for this one lol Track 19: Dreamer in My Dreams (7/10) This feels like an improvised jam, but in a good way. Good end to the album. Overall: 7/10 The biggest weakness of this album is definitley it's length. I don't think the material was good enough to justify this being a double album. The first half would have made a pretty stellar album on it's own, but as a whole it's not that special. Still enjoyable and I have a couple songs I'm saving for later. Fav Song: Red-Eyed and Blue Least Fav Song: (Was I) In Your Dreams

Track 1: Little Child Runnin' Wild (7/10) Love me the funky junk, the fact that this is from a film soundtrack is so cool. On a side note, I've been meaning to watch Superfly for years now, and I think this'll give me the motivation to see it just to see how they use these songs. Track 2: Pusherman (9/10) Damn, this one is a banger. Love the lyrics and the percussion. Track 3: Freddie's Dead (8/10) The strings are to die for! And is that a flute? Great instrumentation. Track 4: Junkie Chase (7/10) The funk flows through this short little instrumental that's obviously used in the movie for a chase scene. Very fun. Track 5: Give Me Your Love (Love Song) (7/10) The fun part of listening to this soundtrack is trying to figure out what kind of scene each song is from. I have a theory this is from a sex scene lol It would work perfectly in the background of gettin' freak-ay. Track 6: Eddie You Should Know Better (7/10) I haven't mentioned this yet but Curtis Mayfield has a lovely buttery voice. This song has so far been the best showcase of that and it's great. Track 7: No Thing On Me (Cocaine Song) (7/10) Continues the funkiness of the other tracks while still feeling fresh. Track 8: Think (9/10) I transcended into another plane of existence while listening to this. Stellar stuff, especially the strings. Track 9: Superfly (8/10) I really thought I might recognize this song but I somehow went my whole life never hearing it lol Lyrically the best song on the album, the bass line had me doing a stank face with how much it funked me up. Overall: 7/10 This was a very consistent album with some obvious standouts. I'm not incredibly well versed in the worlds of soul and funk music, but this makes me want to hear more. I also want to watch the movie now. Fav Song: Think Least Fav Song: Junkie Chase

Track 1: School (8/10) Outside of doing this list I've been listening to lots of prog rock so I'm very happy to get this album. I love this first track, the vocals are great and I enjoy the instrumental break in the middle. Track 2: Bloody Well Right (9/10) They hit gold with that chorus. The saxaphone is also stellar. Track 3: Hide in Your Shell (7/10) This was a very talented group of musicians. I don't think this song stands up to the first two but the instrumentation is impressive and I thought the last minute was great! Track 4: Asylum (8/10) The best song on a lyrical level so far. Great end to the first side of the record. Track 5: Dreamer (9/10) I don't know about the rest of the world but this song is a staple of Canadian rock radio so I've heard it all my life. It's such a classic. The vocal harmonies and the keyboards are highlights, and the song hits that perfect pop song length of 3½ minutes. Track 6: Rudy (7/10) This one was, again, impressive from a musical standpoint. Wasn't super into it for the whole time though. Track 7: If Everyone Was Listening (7/10) Pretty nice little track. Didn't wow me. Track 8: Crime of the Century (8/10) Awesome ending to the album, with some nice piano bits and my favourite saxaphone part on the album. Overall: 8/10 This didn't excite me as much as I hoped it would, especially cause I adore Breakfast in America and was shocked that it wasn't included in the list. That being said, this really is an amazing album that I'll need to give a few relistens to. The first half was much better than the second half. Fav Song: Dreamer Least Fav Song: If Everyone Was Listening

Track 1: Hello Morning (N/A) This is my first exposure to noise rock. I'm considering this an intro instead of an actual song. Track 2: Assassins (7/10) I'm shocked at how weirdly normal this song is? It definitley wasn't what I was expecting, it almost just sounds like a strangely atmospheric version of dance punk. I wouldn't say I love it but I dig it's vibe and I wouldn't mind it if the rest of the album was similar. Track 3: Dracula Mountain (9/10) I'm not aware of what a crowd at a noise rock show would be like but I could see myself having a life changing experience in a moshpit to this song lol it's just straight up hardcore punk to me and love that stuff. Track 4: 2 Towers (6/10) This is the first song so far that mostly just sounds like "noise", but I still think it would be great to see live. It's bursting with energy and it's almost hypnotic. Track 5: On Fire (8/10) The drumming is insane here! I'm really impressed by this honestly. It's got me headbanging hardcore. Track 6: Crown of Storms (9/10) This song is so cool. It reminds me of other genres yet feels completely new to me at the same time. That makes it hard to describe lol Track 7: Longstockings (5/10) Again this song is creative, though it wasn't as pleasant a listen as the other ones so far. Track 8: Wonderful Rainbow (N/A) I'm counting this as an interlude. Track 9: 30,000 Monkies (6/10) Tracks like this are more along the lines of what I imagined the entire album to be. I don't hate it but it's not something I see myself listening to again. Track 10: Duel in the Deep (6/10) I still really love the energy and I would love to experience music like this live, but this one ain't for me. Overall: 7/10 I'm incredibly conflicted over this one. On one hand, some of the songs sound so familiar in style that they don't sound unpleasant. On the other hand, a lot of it really is just "noise", but it's a noise that I've never heard before and I respect it for making me experience a new form of music that I wasn't at all familiar with. I almost think it belongs in the list for that reason alone, cause I wouldn't have gotten to experience this otherwise. Not at all surprised it's rated so low. Fav Song: Dracula Mountain Least Fav Song: Longstockings

Track 1: Sign 'O' the Times (8/10) Prince was such a great lyricist. This is a pretty dark song and I think it's great. Track 2: Play in the Sunshine (7/10) I like the backup vocals in this song. The lyrics are weirdly apocalyptic? At least that's how I interpret it. Track 3: Housequake (7/10) The poppiest, most danceable song yet! Track 4: The Ballad of Dorothy Parker (9/10) Excellent storytelling! Very funky bassline. Track 5: It (7/10) I like the 80s sounding percussion on this track lol it's a pretty fun song about doing "It" Track 6: Starfish and Coffee (9/10) All Prince needed to make a great jam was a piano and some backup singers. Such a great song. Track 7: Slow Love (6/10) I'm not incredibly into these slow "bedroom time" songs, but it's good for what it is. Track 8: Hot Thing (7/10) Hell yeah, more music to dance to! Track 9: Forever in My Life (5/10) Found this kind of boring tbh Track 10: U Got the Look (7/10) Fun song, not incredibly diverse. Track 11: If I Was Your Girlfriend (8/10) This is the only song I knew going in, it's so great. Love the slappy bass. Track 12: Strange Relationship (6/10) It was okay, nothing really stood out to me. Track 13: I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man (8/10) Very fun and funky! Track 14: The Cross (8/10) The most rocking song on the album! Track 15: It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night (7/10) This one was kind of hypnotic, I was digging it. Track 16: Adore (7/10) Great track! Overall: 7/10 The only issue with doing this for me is that sometimes you'll get an album that you may not be into at the moment. I'm gonna have to relisten to this on a day where I'm feeling more mentally up for it but I did enjoy it still! Fav Song: Starfish and Coffee Least Fav Song: Forever in My Life

Track 1: Aalach Tloumouni (5/10) I have no frame of reference for this type of music, and I'm not entirely sure if I like it. Dude's got a pretty good voice though. Track 2: El Harba Wine (6/10) I like the female vocals, goes well with the male vocals. Track 3: C'est la Nuit (7/10) French! I understand this kind of! Very cool, I like this one. Track 4: Imagine (2/10) Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahaha Track 5: Trigue Lycee (4/10) I truly don't know how to feel about this album at this point lol it's okay I guess but not really my thing Track 6: E'Dir E'Sseba (4/10) I can't even review this lol Track 7: Ya Aachkou (2/10) No thank you, I hated this one lol way too poppy Track 8: Melha (3/10) I just find this really comical honestly Track 9: Raba-Raba (?????) Overall: 3/10 So I listened to the whole thing but I had to abandon my usual track by track format cause I have nothing to say about this. It's not that it was bad but I have no idea how to rate something like this so I'm just gonna leave it at that. Fav Song: C'est la Nuit Least Fav Song: Imagine

I realized yesterday that going track by track is gonna give me terrible fatigue so I'm just gonna give a rating and general thoughts from now on. Overall: 9/10 I first heard this album at the age of 13, when I saw the music video for "The Suburbs" on TV and wanted to check out their music. The Suburbs album hadn't come out yet so I downloaded this album to see what I was getting into and I couldn't believe just how good it was. I'd never heard this kind of indie rock before and I was blown away by the multiple instruments and I loved Win Butler's voice. Fast forwarding to my listen from today and it still sounds as fresh to me now as it did 14 years ago when I first heard it. Stellar stuff that I will always love. Fav Song: Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) Least Fav Song: Une Annee San Lumiere

Overall: 8/10 It's refreshing to hear an earlier version of ska, since nowadays that term is associated with 90s skate punk and has become somewhat of a meme. I really liked this, I think the old school punk approach fits this genre much better. The vocals feel kind of like The Clash to me. Also love the guitar work. Fav Song: (Dawning of A) New Era Least Fav Song: Do the Dog

Overall: 7/10 This was my first bossanova album. It was pretty enjoyable! Very relaxing, love Getz on that saxophone always injecting some much needed flavour. I'll be listening to this one again. Fav Song: The Girl from Ipanema Least Fav Song: Só Danço Samba

Overall: 6/10 Fhis album was kind of hit or miss for me. I think the electronic elements are ahead of its time and there's some jard rockers on here, but I'm not a big fan of the male vocals and a few of the songs seemed to just drone and drag. Still a good album, not really something I see myself listening to ever again. Fav Song: The Garden of Earthly Delights Least Fav Song: Love Song for the Dead Che

Overall: 8/10 This is such a great album! The guitar work is so interesting and the classic hardcore vocals sound amazing. I feel like this'll just get better with subsequent hearings. Fav Song: Repeater Least Fav Song: Two Beats Off

Overall: 6/10 Pretty decent alt rock from the 90s, nothing stood out as amazing to me but it does a good job of blending rock with some electronic elements and the songs are consistently fun to listen to. Fav Song:Queer Least Fav Song: Supervixen

Overall: 2/10 I don't really connect with this, I don't think it has anything to do with it not being in english cause I listen to Rammstein lol I just found the music kind of boring and the singing wasn't good enough to elevate the material. Edit: Just read the wikipedia article about this dude and YIKES...I'm able to separate the art from the artist but it's a good thing my rating is already low Fav Song: Koweït, rive gauche Least Fav Song: Conte de fées

Overall: 9/10 I must be crazy or something cause I actually much prefered this over Transformer! It seems more cohesive and I feel like the songs fit his voice better for the most part. I had a stupid grin on my face for most of the album and there's a couple songs that are definitely gonna be overplayed over the next few weeks. I'm a little sad I got both Lou Reed albums so early, but thankfully I still have some Velvet Underground coming up! Fav Song: Caroline Says I Least Fav Song: Berlin

Overall: 5/10 This was long and unimpressive. I found the songs to kind of drone on in the background of my thoughts and I kept wishing that I was just listening to David Bowie. There's obviously talent here but it isn't for me. Fav Song: A Little Soul Least Fav Song: Seductive Barry

Overall: 8/10 Wow the generator saw my review from yesterday and said "I got you, fam". David Bowie is easily one of my top 10 favourite artists of all time, but this album never connected with me as much as some of his other works. That being said, I really enjoyed it on this listen! Maybe it just needed time to click for me but I really love the elements that gave me pause before (it's an incredibly excessive album). So glad to have more Bowie love in my life! Still not a Hunky Dory or "Heroes" but I'll still be adding most of these to my library! Fav Song: Cracked Actor Least Fav Song: Let's Spend the Night Together

Overall: 2/10 I actually tend to enjoy country from the 50s, I just find these songs kind of annoying. The higher voice of the two is really grating to my ears. The songs themselves aren't terrible but I didn't like listening to this. Fav Song: Alabama Least Fav Song: I'll Be All Smiles Tonight

Overall: 10/10 I am incredibly hungover today (not a big drinker but I went to a halloween party) and I found this to be the perfect music for today. This is a very chill album with gorgeous, haunting vocals and interesting uses of different instruments. I've also been a big fan of Geoff Barrow's collaborations with Ben Salisbury on the films of Alex Garland so it was cool to see a different side of him! Update: For the first time since I've started doing this I've not only relistened to an album in the same day but I've now listened to this 4 times today and I'm blown away by it. I love finding a new favourite and this is easily the best discovery I've had with this list! Beth Gibbons may be an all-timer vocalist for me now. Fav Song: The Rip Least Fav Song: Deep Water (only because it's too short)

Overall: 8/10 I absolutely adore how lively ol' blue eyes sounds on this album. Some of these songs have been so huge to pop culture in general that it's shocking to hear that they all come from the same album. I wish I could go back in time and hear these songs in the 50s. I'm also one of the few people (that I've seen) that prefers Sinatra's version of Pennies from Heaven to Luis Prima's, though Prima is a legend as well. Fav Song: Pennies from Heaven Least Fav Song: Anything Goes

Overall: 1/10 I'm happy for the people that enjoy this but I've always hated The Smiths with a passion and listening to this album in full didn't do anything to sway me. I truly think that Morrissey is a godawful vocalist and the music behind him bores me to tears. I think it might be mostly the guitar tone, it's like nails on a chalkboard for me. One of the easiest 1 stars I'll ever give out, and if I hadn't promised myself to give every album a chance, I'd have completely skipped it (and I'm wishing I did). Fav Song: Cemetry Gates (They're all garbage but the bass is actually pretty great in this song) Least Fav Song: Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

Overall: 6/10 This is my first Elliott Smith album, and on a forst impression I can see what makes him such a special artist for a lot of people. His lyrics are interesting and the songs have catchy poppy melodies. However, on a personal level nothing really stood out to me as being exceptional. Maybe it's a case of needing to hear it in the right setting but for now I think it's a pretty good album that I wanted to love but didn't get much out of. I also think a couple of track could have been removed to make it a smoother listen, cause this is a looooong album. Fav Song: L.A. Least Fav Song: Everything Means Nothing to Me

Overall: 5/10 This one is a weird one for me. The beats are exceptional, and I think the rhymes are pretty good. For some reason, the songs just mostly seem to come and go without a second thought given. I couldn't tell you a single hook or line that stood out to me. I will say that it gave me MF Doom vibes at times. It's certainly a well made hip hop album but it didn't do much for me. Fav Song: Welcome to the Afterfuture Least Fav Song: I Feel Like $100

Overall: 8/10 The styles used on this album are incredibly diverse! I think there's something in here for everybody and I especially love the punkier side they explore on this album (they started as a punk outfit). The guest spots from Q-Tip and Biz Markie also work really well and there's some instrumentals that help flesh the album out. It's one of those rare lengthy albums that I believe earns it's length. Not my favourite Beastie Boys album but definitely deserves it's spot in the list. Fav Song: Get It Together Least Fav Song: Shambala

Overall: 4/10 I avoided this album for years. I loved the song The Beautiful People so much that I thought there was no possible way that the rest of the album lived up to the hype. Turns out, I was right! I wouldn't call it an outright bad album, there's some stuff in here I genuinely do enjoy, and the industrial elements give it a slight edge that I think is great. The worst thing about the album is Manson himself. His vocal delivery gets really grating after a while and his lyrics have aged like milk. It hurts to give something this heavy a low rating but I have to be true to myself, y'all. This one ain't it. Fav Song: The Beautiful People Least Fav Song: Kinderfeld

Overall: 6/10 Country really isn't my favourite genre of music and any artists making it needs something that stands out to differentiate them from the rest. Thankfully, Dolly stands out for two BIG reasons...her voice and her charisma! While it's not something I'm going to listen to a lot, this was enjoyable and I would recommend it to people who have a better relationship with Country than I do. Fav Song: Early Morning Breeze Least Fav Song: A Better Place to Live

Overall: 9/10 This is my first time listening to a full album featuring any of the members of this band and that's honestly kind of embarrassing. I'm glad to start closing this horrific gap in my music listening. In terms of this album, it's a country/folk/rock album that I absolutely adore. The harmonies are shockingly gorgeous and I love that Neil gets to shine the most on this album because he has the most unique voice of the four members. I've seen some people don't enjoy Neil's voice and I'm not sure why I do but he's one of the few whiney singers that isn't grating to the ears. The instrumentation is also diverse enough to keep the album interesting throughout. Can't wait to hear so many more albums from all of these guys. Fav Song: Woodstock Least Fav Song: 4 + 20

Overall: 3/10 I have to admit, I think Christina Aguilera is an incredibly talented vocalist. It's a shame that the songs she's singing never hold the cake to her immense talent. I wanted to like this a lot more than I did but it really just sounds like generic mid-2000s pop music that follows a formula that I don't particularly enjoy. I didn't hate it but it was overlong and there wasn't much variety. Fav Song: Without You Least Fav Song: Candyman

Overall: 4/10 I really wanted something good today due to the STRESS I'm feeling about a certain election, but I really didn't like this. The title track is actually really good and there's a couple other tracks that have potential, but it was overall disappointing. The production is really off-putting and the vocal delivery leaves a lot to be desired. This may have actually added to my anxiety instead of calming me down. No thanks. Fav Song: Infected Least Fav Song: Twilight of a Champion

Overall: 1/10 This dude sounds exactly like Taron Egerton! I hate it. The beats are trash and his flow is awful. The concept isn't interesting and the protagonist is unlikable. Never listening to this one again. Fav Song: Could Well Be In Least Fav Song: It Was Supposed to Be So Easy

Overall: 8/10 I like to affectionately call this band "The Bores" because 90% of their music bores me to tears. With that being said, they struck gold with their debut and other than a couple tracks, this thing is loaded with catchy choruses, stellar organ work and underrated drumming. It's a shame that (in my opinion) they never made anything that comes even remotely close to replicating the greatness of this album. Highly recommended. Fav Song: Break on Through (To the Other Side) Least Fav Song: The Crystal Ship

Overall: 10/10 I was so incredibly happy to see this pop up today because it's an all time favourite album of mine! There was something special about the Max era of Sepultura, and even though it would have been better if he had stayed with the band, I'm glad that he left after such a high note. What makes this album special for me is not only the stylistic shift from previous albums (thrash/death -> groove metal) but the addition of brazilian elements and contributions from the Xavante tribe. This album is a showcase of their love for their home country and they wore their influences on their sleeves. Many will disagree with me but this is quite possibly one of the best metal albums ever made. Fav Song: Born Stubborn Least Fav Song: Jasco

Overall: 6/10 This is a pretty solid country album, and it's very close to being the best country album I've gotten so far. Merle had a wonderful voice and a great band backing him up. I could see myself putting this on during my next playthroughs of Red Dead Redemption 2 or Fallout: New Vegas. Fav Song: Drink Up and Be Somebody Least Fav Song: Mary's Mine

Overall: 6/10 The horny levels are off the charts with this one. I don't really have any major issues with this album but I expected there to be more variety. The talent is obviously there. Marvin is a legend for a reason. I just can't imagine myself ever listening to this seriously. It just sounds like the same song over and over again. Fav Song: You Sure Love to Ball Least Fav Song: Come Get to This

Overall: 8/10 Really interesting jazz with some crazy time signature business going on! As someone who doesn't listen to a lot of jazz, I find it hard to analyze critically so I just kind of judge it by my experience while listening to it. I thought this was a lot of fun and I especially liked the piano playing done by Mr. Brubeck. This is classy, hip and cool and I highly recommend it. Fav Song: Blue Rondo à la Turk Least Fav Song: Three to Get Ready

Overall: 7/10 While I agree that this album was "the beginning of the end" for Metallica, it's actually a pretty good album in it's own right and I have a sense of nostalgia for it as it was my first Metallica album. James sounds vocally at his best here, you can actually hear Jason's bass (!) and Kirk gets some great solos! If anything my biggest issue with this album is that the songs get overplayed. It's pretty great and I recommend it. Fav Song: Wherever I May Roam Least Fav Song: Of Wolf and Man

Overall: 10/10 This is my absolute favourite Bowie album and I've listened to it an insane amount. I can't really pin down why it's my favourite Bowie but I love how much piano there is on this album and every song is so dang catchy that I can't help but sing along every time I hear them. I hope I don't get every Bowie album early on cause I love him and I wanna space it out, especially with the ones I haven't heard as often. Fav Song: Life on Mars? Least Fav Song: Eight Line Poem

Overall: 6/10 R.E.M. is a band that's always just kind of been in my life in some form. I've never had much of an opinion on them either way beyond liking a few of their singles. This album doesn't really sway my opinion in either direction and I feel like they'll always be one of those bands that just exists. I really like the different instrumentation on some tracks though and Orange Crush is one of my favourite R.E.M. songs. Fav Song: Orange Crush Least Fav Song: The Wrong Child

Overall: 5/10 This isn't a bad album, but it feels lackluster compared to so many other great albums in this list. They're like R.E.M. with a bland vocalist, and if you saw my review from yesterday you would know that I'm not a huge fan of R.E.M. I got some enjoyment from this but it doesn't belong in the list when so many other great albums we're passed over for this. Fav Song: Laughingstock Least Fav Song: Bad Liquor

Overall: 9/10 This album really surprised me. I only know of Nico from her collaboration with The Velvet Undeground but I haven't actually listened to that album so I didn't know what to expect. I'm glad I had no idea cause this is so cool. Nico's vocals are haunting and beautiful and I adore the sparse, minimal instrumentation. I didn't think it was perfect and a couple of tracks seemed to drag on, but I love this style overall and I'm so glad to have had it recommended to me! Fav Song: These Days Least Fav Song: It Was a Pleasure Then

Overall: 8/10 For some reason I never had much interest in Paul Simon. I've always liked You Can Call Me Al, especially with it's Chevy Chase starting music video, but none of his other songs got any attention from me. Now that I've listened to a full album, I'm a bit more intrigued! I love the use of world music (exclusively Africa?) and Paul has a pretty good voice. It at least made me interested in hearing more! I also have to point out the incredible bass playing of Bakithi Kumalo, easily my favourite part of the whole album. Fav Song: You Can Call Me Al Least Fav Song: Homeless

Overall: 7/10 This was a pleasant surprise, as I've always heard of Moby but never actually listened to any of his music. It's fun music that you can dance to, and I loved the gospel vocal samples. Fav Song: Honey Least Fav Song: 7

Overall: 6/10 Mr. Burke has a pretty great voice, but most of the songs didn't impress me on their own. Pretty good time capsule of the early days of soul but not something I see myself coming back to. Fav Song: If You Need Me Least Fav Song:

Overall: 10/10 An album filled with banger after banger! I think Disarm is one of the best songs of the 90s and I absolutely adore their mix of Alt Rock, Shoegaze and Heavy Metal! If you can can get past Billy's strange vocals then you'll love it. Fav Song: Disarm Least Fav Song: Sweet Sweet

Overall: 8/10 This album inspired so many rappers that its hard to analyze it on its own. The beats are chill, which I find hilarious given the lyrical content (Nas grew up in a violent environment). Pretty stellar album that I'll need to revisit. Fav Song: Memory Lane (Sittin' in the Park) Least Fav Song: Halftime

Overall: 7/10 This is a pretty good punk album! I like that it slows down the tempo occasionally and tries to stand out from the insane amount of punk bands coming out at the time. They even use acoustic guitars and trumpets! Nothing stands out as exceptional but it's still a fun time. Fav Song: No, Your Product Least Fav Song: Memories Are Made of This

Overall: 3/10 So uninteresting that it's already left my brain. I enjoyed only one song and it seems to be the band's biggest hit. Big pass on this one. Fav Song: Another Girl, Another Planet Least Fav Song: The Whole of the Law

Overall: 8/10 Just some classic rock to spruce up your day! T. Rex should have been bigger than they were, and this album is why. It's a lot of fun and I'll be listening to it lots! Fav Song: Jeepster Least Fav Song: The Motivator

Overall: 6/10 The songs get a little repetitive but they're still really fun! Buddy Holly's personality really shines through in his vocals. Fav Song: Oh, Boy! Least Fav Song: An Empty Cup (And a Broken Date)

Overall: 5/10 Decent instrumental album, the title track with vocals is the best song though. Not something I'll listen to a lot. Fav Song: Street Life Least Fav Song: Carnival of the Night

Overall: 2/10 Ooey gooey vanilla music. Big pass from me. Fav Song: Sad Old Red Least Fav Song: Jericho

Overall: 10/10 This is (in my opinion) the quintessential album from a band with a long history of hit or miss albums. Every song is great, they take risks without straying too far from their established sounds and they honestly just sound like they're having a great time making music together. If you're gonna listen to any Stones album, it should be this one. Fav Song: Country Honk Least Fav Song: Midnight Rambler (Oh god every song is so good this hurts)

Overall: 6/10 Lyrically, Prine's music is really impressive. I find his voice to be pretty whiney though and it really stops me from being able to appreciate it the way I'd like to. I'm also just not a huge country fan and this doesn't do anything different enough to amaze me. Still enjoyable and I think it has merit. Fav Song: Pretty Good Least Fav Song: Sam Stone

Overall: 10/10 An album so loved that I avoided it in fear that it could never live up to the high expectations that it's reputation instilled in me. I'm such an idiot cause oh my god this is so so so so good. I wish I was smart enough to decipher these lyrics but I can tell they're incredibly political. The guitar work is disjointed in a way that adds to the music and that bass is gorgeous. This is gonna be a favourite of mine for a long time. Fav Song: Damaged Goods Least Fav Song: Return the Gift

Overall: 9/10 Coincidentally, I just got really into Steely Dan this year! I love this debut, it's a bit disjointed and a couple of tracks are less than stellar, but I give it a pass as they were still figuring out their sound. Songs like Do It Again, Kings and Only a Fool Would Say That will never not get me hyped. Now I just need a copy on vinyl that doesn't skip during the guitar solo in Reelin' in the Years. Fav Song: Do It Again Least Fav Song: Change of the Guard

Overall: 6/10 This album started out really strong to the point that I got Beatles vibes from it, but I got pretty bored by the end. There's much better rock from the 90's that was missed in place of this. I still enjoyed it for the most part. Fav Song: It's Only Natural Least Fav Song: All I Ask

Overall: 7/10 I'm glad I got to experience this. It's very heavy on atmosphere and I find the compositions to be (mostly) relaxing and beautiful. It's not something I see myself listening to on a constant basis, but it's definitely worth your time and it makes me excited for more post rock to pop up. Fav Song: Glass Museum Least Fav Song: Dear Grandma and Grandpa

Overall: 5/10 Not much to say about this one, I really don't see what makes it stand apart from all the other garage rock bands that were popping up in the early 2000s. The songs are catchy and inoffensive but kind of boring with not much variety. I will say though, they at least beat Arctic Monkeys to the punch...too bad Arctic Monkeys did it better. Fav Song: Narcissist Least Fav Song: The Man Who Would Be King

Overall: 8/10 Pretty classic album, I don't normally love this style of southern rock but Lynyrd Skynyrd were really great with this style. My friends and I love to make fun of Free Bird but it's actually an amazing song (if a little lengthy, but it earns it's length). Well worth your time! Fav Song: Simple Man Least Fav Song: Things Goin' On

Overall: 6/10 Every musician on this thing is incredibly talented (especially the god-like Jaco Pastorius on bass), but I can't help but think that this album feels empty? I definitely got enjoyment out of it, especially with the closing track. Maybe I just haven't listened to enough jazz but at least the stuff I've listened to in the past elicited some sort of emotion out of me. I'd recommend giving this a listen just to experience Jaco's bass playing. Fav Song: Havona Least Fav Song: Rumba Mama

Overall: 10/10 Perfection. Sleater-Kinney were the first "all girl" punk band I ever listened to and they showed me that not any can women rock out, but they often do it harder and better than the men. This is actually my 3rd favourite album by them which shows just how amazing their entire discography is (I would have at least added The Woods to this list). Corrin's incredible vocals, Carrie's creative and interesting lead work and Janet Weiss's pounding, infectious rhythms make this one of the greatest statements in rock/punk history. I can't say enough good things about how much this album and band mean to me. Fav Song: Dig Me Out Least Fav Song: Not What You Want

Overall: 9/10 The generator seems to know that I'm really into Steely Dan right now. This album is much closer to actual jazz than Can't Buy a Thrill was, and in my opinion that's a good thing because it feels more focused and consistent. The crazy amount of perfectionism that went into this album also paid off cause every track is so so good. My biggest complaint would be that a couple tracks are longer than I would like them to be but it's a minor complaint. Such a great album! Fav Song: Peg Least Fav Song: Home at Last

Overall: 4/10 The opening title track is actually pretty good, and Rod's voice is uniquely raspy. I just found the rest of the album to be pretty bland. Fav Song: Every Picture Tells a Story Least Fav Song: Tomorrow is a Long Time

Overall: 5/10 Not bad, but not great. This is music you put on to clean up after you've hosted a party. I feel like so many indie bands sounded just like this at the time and I blame Arcade Fire (who I actually really like). Fav Song: Two Weeks Least Fav Song: Dory

Overall: 8/10 I mostly knew Meat Puppets from the Nirvana MTV Unplugged, but the songs from this album that were featured there sound way different than expected. It's a raw, punky album with the type of vocals that I feel I should hate but fits so well with their music. I also like the instrumental tracks. Really interesting album. Fav Song: Lake of Fire Least Fav Song: The Whistling Song

Overall: 7/10 There's really nobody on this planet like Björk. Her music is so interesting and her voice is unique. This isn't my favourite album of hers as I find the songwriting quality to be a little inconsistent but the great tracks hit hard and it's the perfect introduction to the crazy world of Björk. Fav Song: Human Behaviour Least Fav Song: Come to Me

Overall: 8/10 Folk music with an incredible voice and some experimental tracks. I found myself mesmerized for most of the runtime. Excellent for relaxing late at night. Fav Song: Go Down Easy Least Fav Song: Don't Want to Know

Overall: 2/10 Listening to this album felt like when you go to a restaurant that everyone in town tells you is amazing and you're incredibly hyped up about it but when you get your food it's just a big pile of crap on a plate...it's corny and makes you nauseous. Fav Song: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For Least Fav Song: Trip Through Your Wires

Overall: 7/10 My first Nick Drake album. This dude had a pretty great voice and he was a talented songwriter. I always imagined his music being just vocals and guitar so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that he's playing with a band on this album. Even if this is generally his least celebrated album, I can definitely see why people love his music so much. Fav Song: At the Chime of a City Clock Least Fav Song: Bryter Layter
