I have never really listened to Cuban Music so this was an interesting start to this project. At first, I wasn't really into it but there were some songs, especially near the middle of this project that I found to be really interesting. There is a Wim Winders documentary about this album that I'm definitely going to watch. 6/10

It's a hard album to hate. The only song I knew coming in was Mr. Blue Sky but a lot of the other songs have that cheery upbeat tone to them. The synth motif used throughout is interesting. Just a fun and enjoyable listen. 8/10

Like every white boy from the Midwest, I had a huge Eminem phase in middle school. Outside of occasionally going back to the MMLP though, I don't think I've actually listened to one of his albums in full since high school. Most of these songs are classics if you can get past how bad they have aged. 7/10

I know my dad loves this album. Never really got into funk but I actually recognized one of these songs from Always Sunny of All Places. It was alright but I don't see myself revisiting this any time soon. 6/10

I mean, some albums you just don't need to say anything. If Illmatic isn't the most respected rap album of all time, it's at least in the top 5. I've heard it a few times, and it's the definition of a classic. Either you like rap or you don't and it's the same probably for this album. It's full of classic after classic. Some of the sounds used for beats here are insane. 9/10

It's fine. I've never been super into the Rolling Stones. Brown Sugar has aged badly and most of the other songs were not that memorable but it wasn't a bad listen. 6/10

Not really feeling this. Most of the songs sound the same and the Big Band sound is not my style. I think I heard one of these songs in Home Alone or something one time, and another one which was a cover that I knew. Also sounds like a lot of these songs were originally old songs written by black artists that only got popular later when this white guy covered them. 3/10

Meh. Some good but dragged in places. Overall I don't think I'll ever listen to it again. 4/10

Never heard of this album, and I think had only really heard of this band in passing. I had no idea what to expect. I was blow away by it's interesting electronic sound. 8/10

Now we're fucking talking. The Stooges have always been one of the best bands out there and I'm a big fan of them here. 7 songs, 37 minutes and they all slap. This might just be them at their best right here. 10/10

If Music sounded like this still I might have already killed myself 2/10

Super fun for the most part. A few times it just kinda felt like background music but it was definitely an enjoyable album to listen to. 6.5/10

For a metal album, the worst part of it is the Metal. There are basically two albums in here. One is a traditional metal album, sung in English that is meh. The other adds it's Brazilian roots to it and is amazing. More of that, please. 5/10

TBH I always thought of Steely Dan as more Southern/ Country rock but this was pretty groovy

Is this the best punk album of all time? If not it's top three easy, and defiantly the best Hardcore Punk album ever, as well as perhaps the one I listen to the most. I mean California Uber Alles is a top ten song all time, and you got hits like Holiday In Cambodia, Lets Lynch the Landlord, Kill The Poor and When Ya Get Drafted, all in a 35 minutes album. Perhaps the best punk band of all time at their peak. 10/10

I enjoyed the album but will probably never listen to it ever again. 6/10

Never heard of this album but I recognized a couple of songs. It was alright. 6/10

Always knew that this album was going to be great but this project finally forced me to listen. Didn't disappoint the dude had a great singing voice. 8/10

WTF was this theatre core ass album? 3/10

The first really long album I've run into, with multiple 6+ minute songs which were definitely the worst part. The shorter songs with more energy were a lot better tbh. 6/10

Enjoyable but outside of XYZ and Tom Sawyer it's not very memorable. 7/10

Honestly I only really got in 50 recently, despite the fact that he is a legend. Anyways, tons of bangers here even if it's a bit on the long side. 7/10

My first album here that wasn't on Spotify. Started out good but quickly felt like a Bettles ripoff, and also a song where the singer talks about being a fruit nut, and threatening (?) to blow someone a Raspberry. IDK. 5/10

Very good. Velvet Underground just makes banger after banger 8/10

Probably the best first listen I've had so far. I don't know how often I'm going to listen to 12-minute Afro-Beat songs but I'll enjoy it when I do. 8/10

The bad part about listening to a normal Talking Heads album is everytime a song from Stop Making Sense comes on, I remember that the version on there is better, and if it isn't on Stop Making Sense I just think what a version of that song would sound like. 8/10

I've never really "got" The War On Drugs. They aren't bad just never really clicked with me. I've seen them live at a festival one time and thought they put on a show but I don't really remember anything from them. Anyways 6/10

At first this was kind of a meh album, but about halfway through it clicked and I realized this album is amazing. 9/10

Short but good, hard not to like 8/10

The Yeah Yeah YEahs have been a band that I've always liked and listened to but never fully delved into until now. Came in with high expectations because of that and was not disappointed. This rocked and was very mesmerizing in a way. 8/10

Well, It's good to know Yugoslavian Industrial Music is not my thing ig. 2/10

Solid old-school country rock not really much more to add. CCR is CCR. 7/10

Don't honestly know why I've never really listed to the Fugees before this is right up my alley. 8/10

I’ve heard some Paul Simon but this isn’t his best

Second time listening to this album. Better than the first time for sure. Could see myself listening a third time soon 7/10

I'm not usually one for ambiant music like this, I guess I listen too intently but it wasn't bad even if it felt like music to put on in the background. 4/10

This is the greatest rap album of all time. At least top 3 for me. Anyone who says TPAB is better is either pretentious or lying. I'm also shocked by the amount of low 1-2 star reviews for it on this site. I know that rap isn't for everyone but a shocking amount of them showed a lot of closed-mindedness. (which if you're going to do a project like this seems insane, at least to me. The whole point of this was to broaden my musical horizons and discover music I never would have found before). I've seen a lot of people calling the lyrics weak (are you even listening) and misogynistic/ sophomoric and like... that's the point. Kendrick is able to portray a kid growing up in the rough streets of Compton, trying to do everything to do good in his life but constantly weighed down by every single person around him. All told in a way where this album is closer to cinema than it is music to me. I feel like it's rough to give something on here a perfect score because it always takes me a few listens to really, really truly get an album and this is the same case here but still, Kendrick is head and soldiers above almost everyone in his era of rap and this is still his magnum opus to me. 10/10

I was ready to give this like a 8 or 9/ 10 but then I listened to the lyrics on Alabama Song... Jim Morrison yikes my guy what are you doing? 5/10

Came in expecting a Beatles rip off and it started out that way but turned a lot better in the end, mostly because this was surprisingly experimental. After that, it became a weird mix of classic and experimental that was quite interesting. 7/10

I've always had a contentious relationship with Pink Floyd. Most of my musical taste came from my dad, who is one of the biggest audiophiles I know. The man could give you the history of everyone from Sinatra to Outkast and listened to them all. Despite this, for some reason, he haaaated Pink Floyd. I never really knew why because he seemed to like a lot of similar bands but outside of Wish You Were Here he would turn the channel every time they came on the radio. I followed his lead for the most part when it came to music. In a way, I used him as a judgment on whether music was "good" or not so for the longest time, I considered Pink Floyd to be overrated. Then around college, I finally listened to DSOTM for the first time, and like every college student was absolutely blown away by it. I tried listening to the rest of the Pink Floyd discography but never really got into it (I was not a good listener then, and still probably not great now but whatever) I'm glad I finally really listened to this album because while I always knew about the story of "The Wall" and the general concept I hadn't actually gotten able to listen to it fully and as someone who truly loves to listen to and hear stories in albums, it was great to here one of the best concept albums in full for the first time. I said a lot without saying much, whatever 8/10

A solid but not spectacular East Coast Hip-Hop album. It's a good listen that I could imagine listening to a few more times but compared to Illmatic, The Infamous and Enter the 36 Chambers, it's not something that's going to stand out. 7/10

Wallpaper music, I don't even really know anything about jazz and I'm disappointed that this is on here compared to probably better stuff. 3/10

Listen to this while at work and I think that was the right way to listen to it. Not much to think about here. 4/10

People forget how good early Coldplay was before they sold out. 7/10

I don't know what emotion I'm supposed to feel when i listen to the Police. Sad? Bored? Creeped out? 3/10

Kinda boring and all over the place 3/10

You know, compared to the next two albums they would release, I feel like Gorillaz's debut is a little bit overshadowed. It doesn't have the narrative tightness of Feel Good Inc. or Plastic Beach, and in a way, the sound here is a bit more wild and all over the place, maybe even garage/ punk. You can definitely tell the more DIY sound as Damion Albarn tries to figure everything out and I kinda miss that on the next few albums, even if they are better overall. 9/10

It's another ok but completely forgettable jazz album. Been very disappointed in their selection so far (not that I know much of anything about jazz) 6/10

Really good, not for everyone i suspect but this was right up my alley 9/10

A solid record, it's honestly so hard to go bad on these old school hip hop records we should go back to that. 7/10

It's fine but I don't have a lot to remember or say about it. 5/10

Really weird and not a great road trip album, which is how I listened to it. Also way too long. Maybe if I gave it more attention I'd like it better. 4/10

Fuck man Jimi is the best guitarist of all time. And this is him just at the top of his powers (almost, personally Are You Experienced is a tad bit better) he just makes sounds only he can make I don't need to tell anyone that though. 9/10

Well... At least now I can say my Limp Bizkit hatred is justified and that I've given them a fair shot, not just because most people hate them. Sorry, but this was unlistenable at times. 1/10

Interesting for sure, but boring at times and honestly terrifying at others. I'm seeing a lot of people note that one of the songs was in a David Lynch film and it makes a lot of sense. I've never been a David Lynch fan tbh, kinda like this album. I understand the appeal and I'm probably in the minority but just doesn't click. 4/10

Enjoyed it decently enough for a synth-pop album. One song was straight-up a Buzzcocks song, though I don't know which one came first. 6/10

Fine. But will never listen to it again. 6/10

Seemed quite good from what I could find since it wasn't on Spotify. Sounded like early Riot Grrrl which is great. One of the best new finds so far. 9/10

She's a good singer and I enjoyed it but not really my style. 7/10

Man this is corny as hell... still had a few bangers though 4/10

Congrats to The Who for becoming the first act to get two albums that I've had to listen to. (Unless you count Paul Simon, who I've had a solo and Simon & Garfunkel album). Anyways, this was a lot better than Tommy, since it wasn't a cheesy rock album. I loved the tongue-in-cheek consumerism but it was an unmemorable album overall. 6/10

This type of shit either really hits or it really don't. Today it didn't 4/10

I know it's kinda cool to hate on the Black Keys now and I get it... yes, they sold out... yes they are a knockoff White Stripes... yes they do make blues music for people afraid of black people but fuck it. It is an important album to me. My very first concert was Black Keys, and this album helped to really get me into music in general. 10/10 though admittedly biased.

Fuck man. As I write this I'm teetering between a 1-2 star (or a 2/10 or a 3/10 if you will). It's funny that I love punk music but never could get into metal and this album explains why. Many of the songs sound the exact same, and the vocalists ( I know there were more than one here) are awful. The same goddamn pitch, and I don't think I understood a single word said the entire time. It's not void of musical importance and everyone and a while the drums would come through with something interesting but then that goddamn voice would come back and I'd want to stab my eardrums out. You know what? 2/10 saved only by some cool song names and the fact that they kept most of the songs (and album) short, even if this was some of the longest 33 minutes of my life.

I've gotten way into country music over the past few years, and one of my big hopes was that I would learn a lot about some older country to check out. Mission accomplished here. 8/10

The actual album was good. Finding out about the band was not. 7/10

IDK it was fine. 6/10

It was decent, feel like if I super paid attention to it or listened to it a few more times it would really click. Industrial isn't really my thing all the way. 6/10

I mean it's the most revered and beloved album by the most revered and beloved band in history. I don't really have to say much, do I? 10/10

Love this album. I don't consider myself to be some major Flaming Lips fan but damn if I don't find myself coming back to this album probably about once a year a loving it every time. 9/10

Would have been great in the mood but currently I am most definitely not. 7/10 based out of mood for normal day. 3/10 today. Sorry Stevie, I'll give it another shot when I'm in a better mental state.

I mean it's Queen. Although it's interesting because like, none of the hits are here. I actually don't think I've ever heard a Queen album front to back before, outside of their live at Wembley album because for a band so beloved like them, they don't really have like that album. Anyways there are a few tracks here that are very Queen-ish and a couple where you can tell the band is still figuring out who they are. 7/10

Hell yeah Siouxsie Sioux is awesome. Need to listen to more of her. 9/10

I guess I'm just not a huge Common fan. Oh well. 4/10

Hell yeah. I knew my funk/soul was way behind when I started this project and doing this helped me to expand this. 9/10

I mean it's fine. Has a bunch of good songs but why is it almost 2 hours long?!?!?!? Billy Corgan this is unnecessary 6/10

So this was just bad Arctic Monkeys which at first I was excited about but after like 3 songs got old. Still, bad Arctic Monkeys isn't terrible. 5/10

Bleh

There are two types of people in the world. People who like Wu-Tang and people without taste. After all, they are for children. Seriously though this is top 5 hip hop of all time (I think this is the third time I've said this and I'm like 100 albums into this project so... maybe I have more than 5 favorites?) 10/10
