Nice and ethereal

That Thing is great, rest was okay

Started out just okay, but then really started to grow on me

The non hit tracks were better than I was expecting. Solid album

Ok house music. A couple nice tracks, but mostly not something I will revisit.

Jump is great! Did not like the rest.

I mean, it's good, but it doesn't speak to me the way it seems to for other people.

I prefer Pink Moon tbh

Pretty good!

...not for me I guess.

Wasn't bad, just didn't grab me at all.

Quite good

Soooooo good

Eh

All time classic

It was just okay for me

Pretty forgettable, doubt I'll ever listen to this album again

Pretty good, but a few skippable tracks.

I liked it more than I was expecting too. Worth another listen.

It was....fine, I guess

Forgettable

Groovy. I liked it.

Forgettable.

Really groovy, funky blues to start with and then the album just tailed off...

Loved it! Several of her hits, but she just has such a lovely voice, I dug the whole record start to finish.

A mix of really nice grooves and skippable tracks. I like the Superfly soundtrack more.

Never heard of them before now. Pleasant 80s indie rock. Worth another listen.

I'm not a swiftie but I think she has better albums.

A whole vibe. Proto-Bitches Brew, a little more groovy and accessible than that one.

I prefer other Bob Marley stuff I've heard. Also, this is probably sacrilege, but I prefer The Harder They Come as a reggae album to this as well.

Quite delightful.

In retrospect this is not shocking at all, but I've heard half of these songs done better by a black artist.

I was kind of disappointed, after the title track it didn't really grab me at all. It was fine, just not as good as I guess I was expecting.

Beautiful voices and harmonies, half of the tracks I loved, half of them I would skip on a relisten.

I've always preferred BSSM and By the Way to this one. The first half I was thinking "Wow, this is better than I remember! 5 stars!" and then the second half I was just waiting for it to be over.

The ambience of this album just hits different. The effervescent guitar, the sustained slides, Bono's beautiful voice.... Deserves its reputation as one of the best albums of all time. The sound is unlike anything else I've ever heard. Makes me think of shooting stars in the desert sky.

I have to confess I'd never heard of John Martyn before, but that album was an unexpected treat to listen to. Every track brought a new musical idea, even the instrumental outro track was great. My ears were left feeling like they'd just eaten an excellent meal.

A couple groovy moments saved this from a worse score. It just wasn't for me, I guess.

I have never heard this side of the Temptations, but I liked it a lot.

I was into maybe the first track or two and then it just felt like noise.

I don't think I've heard any of this album other than I have a vague recollection of hearing the Mrs. Robinson cover before. What an unexpected treat! This is the reason I'm doing this, to get to experience albums I find absolutely delightful that I otherwise would never have found.

The only track I didn't like is the instrumental "Buried Alive in the Blues" but apparently Janis died before the vocals for that could be recorded, otherwise it is an amazing album.

It was just okay for me. None of the tracks really grabbed me.

Too much distortion for me.

My apologies, Santana, I was unfamiliar with your game. Real groovy Spanish funk. Music like sipping tequila on a hot summer night.

I've never really been interested in the Doors because their biggest hits don't really stand out to me. But this album (which had none of those aforementioned hits) was fantastic, I really enjoyed it.

I guess I like ethereal voices over harder beats than this, eg Massive Attack or Evanescence.

Guys why are we yelling

Superb from start to finish.

I found it all kind of dull, to be honest. Except for Soy Loco Por Ti America, liked that song a lot.

I was shocked this album was from 1980 instead of 1990. Sounded so much like early grunge from a British band. Not surprised at all that Nine Inch Nails covered a song from this album. I enjoyed it a lot.

I know all the songs are 2 minutes, and I know they all sound the same, but damn if I don't get pumped listening to this album.

I had to think about why I like this record when I dislike most hardcore albums. I think it mostly boils down to 1. liking the bass grooves and guitar licks 2. the yelling not being completely atonal and 3. the drummer being incredibly talented.

This was really good! I get why they are so highly rated as a live band.

Starts out really strong and then fades, wasn't really memorable after the first three tracks

Would have been five stars but I'm docking one because I had to think about Donald fucking Trump and how Snoop was at his inauguration the whole time I was listening.

It was fine, but I'll probably not revisit this. Just background music to mostly ignore.

Hungry Like the Wolf is one of the best songs ever, but the rest of this album is also really great 80s pop.

It was...fine. Maybe deserves a relisten, I wasn't in the best mood and didn't really focus on the music.

This album tickled my brain in all the right ways, every track except for one was engaging to listen to. The exception was Thriller! I never want to hear that again. It made my skin crawl. Anti-ASMR.

It was okay, nothing earthbreaking.

Pretty good! Definitely worth another listen, was bobbing my head in a very cliche manner the whole way through.

Definitely needs to go into the rotation.

Forgettable.

I try to find something to appreciate with every album, and I'm sure it's probably my cultural ignorance, but I have no idea why this made the list.

Bass was good, but all the songs could have been half as long.

I love Bowie, Talking Heads, and U2, but Brian Eno's solo albums I guess are not for me.

It's pretty good, but maybe suffers a little because the first track (Birdland) stands out so much from the rest of the album.

I felt like I was at the most accepting and soothing religious service I have ever attended and the weight of the world was being removed from my shoulders.

I was feeling pretty terrible today but this album got me off the ground and back into the fight. 4 stars for the ruckus, and 1 extra for the Chappelle's Show skits.

This is the third Stooges/Iggy Pop album I've listened to as part of this and none of them have really appealed to me. They're all fine, but I guess I'm not getting what makes them all must-hear albums.

It got tiresome quickly.

Absolutely blew me away. I've never listened to any Elvis Costello before (though obviously I've heard of him) but I had a rollicking good time listening to this one.

Really enjoyed this one. Feels like it has the potential to grow on me even more with repeated listens.

House music isn't really my thing, but I thought it was pretty good.

I was a bit disappointed by this one, to be honest. I haven't listened to a whole Sonic Youth album before this, and I was expecting to really like it given how much I like similar bands and their hits, but none of these tracks stood out much for me.

Really great early rock and roll. Easy to see why he was so popular, and why his early death was so tragic.

Started out great but fizzled out. Took me a few tries to get through the entire album.

Solid 90s era rock. Beautiful voice, liked most of the tracks, outside of a couple of the ballads. Gonna check out more of her catalog for sure.

Funky hip hop. I was in from the start.

I appreciate how well done this album is, I just didn't enjoy listening to it all that much.

I'm biased, because as a jazz bassist this is one of my favorite albums of all time, and So What is one of my favorite tracks. of all time. I've transcribed Miles's trumpet solo on that and often tried to emulate Paul Chambers in my own playing.

Sounded like Metallica. I suppose it's good if you like metal, but not really my cup of tea.

Everything I've ever heard from Earth, Wind, and Fire is groovy. It's no wonder this is one of the most sampled bands of all time.

British rap, decent album

I don't much go for electronic music, but I enjoyed this one.

I've never really taken the time to listen to the Smashing Pumpkins, mostly because I don't really care for the song 1979. This album was much better than I was expecting. Solid 90s era grunge.

Pleasant enough (probably a 3.5, really) though I prefer the banana album to this one.
