It was OK but I like some of Bowie's other songs much better.
Really good. Some bangers.
Just OK. Probably would not listen to them again tbh
Great album. Thought it was weird that this album was there instead of one of their earlier ones, or an album that had a super famous hit they had. But still a banger of an album.
When I was in High School this would have been a banger. I loved Metallica then and couldn't get enough. When I was in college it would have still been great. But now? It's kind of meh. One is still a banger but the rest of the album was kind of meh. Also I think this is not the most influential Metallica album out there.
It was good. Really good. But the "take a famous band and play their third best album" bit is getting old.
Killer album. It was great when it came out and it has stood the test of time. I also agree with the critic's pick on this one. Great choice from a great band.
Meh. They should have said the music critics that rated these albums had a member of De La Soul in them.
If I could give this album a 0 star I would. Boring and uneventful. Sad and pathetic. Bad and worse.
It was acceptable. I think it is on the list because it was listed in High Fidelity, which Adam pointed out.
Phenomenal album. Steve Earle is seriously underrated. Glad to see him on here.
Thought it would be worse than it was but was pleasantly surprised. Not something I would normally listen to but I did like it.
It started off great, then it went south fast. I was actually liking the first song a ton and felt like it had a Beatles vibe to it. But song 10 I wanted to pour bleach into my ears and cry in the corner to make it stop. Few songs were familiar to me and have heard before. Please let today be better.
It was good. Heard most of the songs before and can see why it would be very influential. The thing I kept coming back to is "surely this isn't from 1978 is it" and then I realized I am old. Good album.
Had low expectations for this one when I saw it, but was pleasantly surprised. Maybe that is the secret - go in without any expectations? Either way, I liked it. Not sure I would put it on a constant rotation but it was good.
Thought it was good. Better than I expected. Solid.
Phenomenal. Love Johnny cash. At first I had trouble thinking why this album was picked instead of his many others. A Boy Named Sue was his top most hit in his career and that debuted on this album though (had to look that one up). The infamous Johnny Cash shooting a bird was from this show. I know that one because I had that poster in high school because I thought I was cool and my mom allowed it. Also - can you imagine the blowback if a musician tried to play in prisons today? Wild.
Complete banger. The hidden gem of this whole thing so far to me. Didn’t really know him but was hooked on the first album. Could hear how he influenced so many through his music as it reminded me of a lot of different musicians.
It was good. Like some of his other stuff better. My knock against it was that it was too “musical” and not enough action. I know this is weird since I am a huge Pink Floyd fan and my kids always yell at me there are no words on their songs. But this felt different.
Horrible. Not my cup of tea but I can see how it influenced other artist who also make shitty music.
Never really been a big portishead fan. Their music is always kind of depressing in my opinion (no offense Adam - please don't unfriend me)
Loved the album. Had heard of Sam Cooke before but not this album and never really listened to him much. Thought it was really well done. Lot of the songs I found myself moving and grooving as it was playing. I also saw it was recorded in 1963 but not released until 1985 and the record company just sat on it for 20+ years! So it is wild that this album with teh 20 year delay in being released influenced others. I can certainly see how Sam Cooke influenced some, but this delayed album is wild. Anyway, more proof record companies are scum of the earth along with healthcare CEOs.
Used to love this album and Song 2 brings back tons of good memories from high school and college. It's catchy and fun and overall pretty awesome (even if the words don't really make sense). The rest of the album was kind of good, but not near as good as I remember it.
My mom loved Carole King. So long road trips back to Ohio from Alabama I heard this or Janis Joplin when she had control of the cassette player. And I heard Bob Seger or Jim Croce when my step father had control of the casette player. Of the 4, this one was my least favorite. It is certainly acceptable and her songs have stood the test of time, but not my cup of tea. I. do think Carole was a trend setter in her music and can certainly see why she was chosen.
Never heard of these guys before. Thought it was a good album and could hear how they influenced some others. Overall, it did not sound like an album that was 40+ years old
I liked this one a lot. I am not sure how it influenced others though, especially since it is so unknown and so recent (comparatively). But I think this should replace office music everywhere - soft, smooth, musical at times, nice beat, and just much better ambience than traditional office/elevator music.
Horrible. Worst yet on this adventure, and I listened to The Associates and Henry Neilsson so that is saying something! Put it this way - if I gave this album to my sworn enemy I would end up in gitmo on terrorist charges for cruel and unusual punishment against a fellow man.
Also - who did this influence? One song has 22k listens on spotify. Total! Through all time. Let's just drop the "en" from the artist name and call them "The Sham" shall we? Because this album aint it and is a damn sham.
I would give this one 6 stars if I could. I feel like it was great and can also see how it influenced others. Also nice to see a debut album from a band land on this list.
Thought it was good. I like Neil Young a lot, but more so of his solo career than his crazy horse career. Overall it was a solid pick.
Bad. Horrible. No good. Awful. Terrible.
Saw the album and thought I would like it more. Then I listened to it and... meh. Solidly mediocre. Their claim to fame is a 17 minute song that is about 14 minutes too long.
Loved it. She Floated Away is a legit awesome song and I listened to it multiple times yesterday. After this album I listened to a few more of theirs and liked them too. Would listen to this entire band again even though I had never really listened to them before.
It was good. Really good. Great song after great song. Wild Horses, while still immensely popular, is extremely underrated IMO and one of the top few Stones songs of all time.
I thought it would be better. I was wrong. 2 stars, but barely.
I am not saying you have to drugs to listen to this album. But I am saying drugs would make it more bearable.
Yea, it was a classic. Perfect album for yesterday. Would probably give this 5 stars but I can't help but think this album's success led to Mariah Carey doing her Christmas song that I hear nonstop and absolutely hate.
Skibidi Toilet Ohio as the youngsters say
Loved it. I actually think it is better than the White Stripes.
It was OK. I did like it better than his Parliament stuff.
So this album is on the list because it is a case study in why you should pay more than $10 to make an album, right? There were a few redeeming songs on this one so it isn't as bad as it could have been. But when you have 41 minutes for 28 songs the good ones are over too fast. Bad decisions everywhere with this one.
Loved it. Inject it straight into my veins. Come Pick Me Up is 10/10.
Not my cup of tea but at least the tea was drinkable.
It was good. I like The Who a lot. I feel like this album is not the one I would pick that was one of their most influential since it doesn't include the intro to CSI on it, which probably introduced hundreds of thousands to The Who. Pinball Wizard still hits though.
Amazing how it is still so damn good 65+ years after it released.
Most influential album of all time?
Was really good. Makes me want to get on a cruise ship
It was good. Would have probably been rated higher if we hadn't had so many great ones earlier in the week.
Great artist; wrong album
I've heard better sounding noises coming from my bathroom
It was really good to hear the first Stones album and then think about their uber-famous songs and how much they have changed over the years. I liked the bluesy vibe to this one.
His voice drives me nuts.
One of the best lyricists of all time is still a joy to listen to.
Awful. Terrible. No good. Even the first song being about boobs couldn't salvage it.
Absolutely amazing. The Boxer is one of my favorite songs of all time but the whole album is just top notch.
Who the hell did this album influence? Utter crap is what it was.
It's good. Takes me back and puts a smile on my face. Upbeat yet chill. I dig it.
Refreshingly different. Not something I normally listen to but I dug it.
I can see how it was influential. An album from 1969 that sounded way ahead of it's time and definitely more modern than 56 years old. That being said, it didn't do much for me. Solidly mediocre.
Lot of people like Linkin Park; I am just not one of them.
Terrible. First time I haven't been able to make it through the whole album. How can I give 0 stars?
It was acceptable. Not great though. Lyrics were rather funny. Dude seemed to have a one track mind and only think about the ladies.
refreshingly different. liked it a lot
It wasn't terrible. If it came on the radio I would probably still change the channel but at least I wouldn't smash the mute button beforehand.
Liked it more than I thought I would.
Loved it. From the album cover to the music. I should put him in my rotation more.
Liked it a lot. Brought back some memories as I used to listen to it a lot but it has fallen off my radar.
Liked it a lot more than I thought I would.
I liked it. Reminds me of guitar hero but was good.
Not terrible but would never listen to them on purpose again.
Saw who it was and thought I would like it more than I did.
Not even the cover could save this album. Wife likes Mariah Carey (or used to) and she said "why did they pick one of her worst albums?" I guess the only redeeming factor was that it was not her Christmas song because we here that way too much.
I liked it. You can see how they were influential because some of the songs didn't sound like they were 55+ years old.
How can I rate this 6 stars? 10 stars? Phenomenal. Dire Straits is always so good. Mark Knopfler is amazing (and not just because he has a pf in his name). The guitar is always so clean.
Pretty terribly honestly.
Love Elton more than a straight man probably should. Levon is one of his better songs, if not his best.
Not even me remembering fondly my adolescent self running around screaming "Breaking the Law, Breaking the Law" a la Beavis and Butthead could save this album. It was terrible.
Meh. It wasn't terrible but wasn't great etiher. If Stranger Things had never used her music would we even know who she is or would she appear in this list? My bet is no.
They still sound great. A sound as iconic as their beards.
It was better than mediocre. It makes me remember my dad who liked them a lot, so that is why it is ranked higher than it would have been on it's own.
Terrible. Awful. No good.
The first song absolutely sucked and I thought it was going to be a long day, but then the rest got substantially better and I really enjoyed it.
Good album, but it should be played when raining.
Love Pink Floyd and they are one of my favorites of all time but this album is one of their worst. Still 5 stars and better than most other music though.
Used to listen to this a lot. Still is great.
Was good. Smoke on the water carries the album but is a classic
First song was good, but then it went downhill. Seemed like a WalMart version of Garbage.
It was good. Picking a Beck album that doesn't include Loser is the wrong choice though.
I thought I would like this more but it really never got going for me.
I liked it more than I thought I would. Was pretty good stuff.
Meh. Over all these British rock bands not named The Beatles
Was good to reminisce on this one. Used to love it a lot. As time passes the album has kind of faded on me though. It was not as great as I remember it being, but still good.
It is Dylan. How can it not be 5 stars?
Common is kind of underappreciated. He is good but not great. I feel like most people don't like him or have never heard of him though, at least most people in the mainstream anyway.
The talking heads have always been average. Not real good but not bad either. I doubt I would purchase their album (back when that was a thing) but I probably wouldn't change the channel if they came on the radio either.
Terrible. I think they named themselves "The United States of America" because then you feel guilty saying you hate "The United States of America". Hated it.
I liked it and it is the reason I do this project. I had never heard of them before, it expanded my horizons, and - now this is important - it was actually good!
It was better than average but not as good as I remember it being. Used to really love this band
Love the Stones. I have an unpopular opinion that the "Beatles vs Stones" debate seriously hurt the Stones. Because almost everyone says Beatles when asked that question and gives it no thought. It's not like comparing Michael Jordan and LeBron James where people have to think for a minute and an argument could be made for either that would have to at least be respected. But everyone is so quick to answer the beatles that it kind of hurts their awesomeness. Anyway, off my soapbox. The stones are awesome and deserve more than 5 stars.
These guys are OK, but not really my cup of tea.
This guy is very good. The album was very good. But this type of music just aint for me. Was great background music though while I hammered out some work.
Pretty bad. I would give it 1 star but that "United States of America" garbage band deserves that ranking all by itself.
Although not my cup of tea I respect these guys. Can't believe this album was released over 40 years ago though. I am old as shit.
Not bad but not good. Solidly mediocre.
Good shit. But I think Demon Days is the better album.
2 good songs, a dozen shit songs.
Got this album from BMG or Columbia House or some such. Loved it then but haven't heard it in decades. But it is still awesome. I used to know every line to Mr. Wendel, and shockingly enough I was still able to recite most of them. So so good.
Exceptional (although I think Dylan's All Along The Watchtower is better).
I love country music more than most, but this was just not good. I have been waiting for more country albums, but wanted Willie or Waylon or John Prine or Garth or something else. Just hard to get through this album
Who the hell did this influence other than everyone to turn the channel when they came on the radio?
Not terrible, and that's the best I can really say about them.
10 outta 10, would recommend. Siskel and Ebert would probably give this one three thumbs up.
Paul Simon is always great.
Just all around not good. My wife heard the third song (We Will Fall) and immediately said "why does it sound like I am in a satanic cult now with this music" and I cannot unhear that.
Been doing this a while and I don't think "right artist, wrong album" could be more true. Love Neil but this album is just mediocre at best.
This album gave off "Please hold while we connect you to a representative" vibes.
Meh. Not bad but definitely not great either.
Acceptable. They are good but not my thing really. But I can't really say anything bad about them.
I survived listening to the entire album. No idea how ABBA was so successful. Seems rather generic and bland.
It was good. Refreshing. Definitely not something I normally listen to but found myself enjoying it. I still think it is a shame Son of a Preacher Man was not on her chosen album though.
I wanted to like it but just never could really get into it. But it wasn't bad either. Kind of middle of the road meh vibes.
20 years later and this still hold up. I enjoyed it almost as much as when I first listened to it. Although I am not as versed in rap as in the other genres, it is hard to doubt his influence. And that doesn't count all the careers he ended of other rappers who talked smack about Haley.
Still really good all these years later.
Never heard of this guy but I did (mostly) like it. If this was just an instrumental album it would be 5 stars, but the voice - while not really bad - just didn't seem to go with the music.
I thought I would like this album more. I should have liked this album more. But I just didn't. The album didn't do much for me and thought it was just solidly mediocre.
I had never heard of her before but I really liked it. I don't think it can be in my normal rotation, but is a good one-off. The first song gave off serious Lion King vibes.
Neil Young is always great. And this album is one of his bests, if not his best.
I used to love this in High School. However, since then it seems like my musical palate has changed and quite substantially and it is not what I had remembered. It wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't great, which is probably why NIN has not been in my regular rotation in a long while now. All that said, I can see how this album/artist was very influential, especially for people like me who were rocking out to it in High School.
Never heard of these guys before but I really liked them.
As someone who loves country music, this just ain't it. The lyrics were good, especially for something as old as this. But the rest of it was just bad.
Love Willie. Saw him in concert multiple times. My only complaint is Willie has way too many songs and has like 100 albums or some such. But this one is a really good one. Georgia On My Mind and Blue Skies are phenomenal. And then add in Unchained Melody and it is just a really awesome album. That being said, I am not sure why THIS album is more deserving than some of his others. It is his 22nd album and hardly groundbreaking even though it had some bangers. I do think it is hard to pick just one album of his though since he has so damn many. But yea, it is good stuff.
Was real good. Wish I had more to say except I really liked it.
Phenomenal album. His Brown Eyed Girl gets the most air time but this album has banger after banger that are way better songs. Into The Mystic is phenomenal. The album starts out with And It Stoned Me and just keeps getting better, which is hard to do because that song is amazing. 10/10. I need to listen to ole Van a little more.
An hour and 20 minutes is just way too long for a mediocre album that is entirely forgettable and just blends into one long heap of normal. In the words of Randy Jackson, "that's a no for me, dawg"
Never heard of this guy but really liked it. Went down the rabbit hole and started listening to other albums of his even after this. Decided I am going to add him to my rotation.
It was acceptable. Solsbury Hill is a class for a reason but the rest of the album was kind of mediocre. I think Genesis is way way WAY better than whatever Peter Gabriel put out in a solo career.
Love Beastie Boys. They are in my normal rotation. But this is one of their worst albums.
Really good. Clapton is so damn good with that guitar. I think I like some of the acoustic version better, but this entire album is hit after hit.
Pretty terrible. I should have loved this but it just wasn't there. Admittedly, I only listened to the first few songs so it may have gotten better? But I doubt it.
If there is a bigger "right artist; wrong album" I have yet to find it in this challenge.
This album is fantastic from start to finish. Where I think it shines is it's breadth - it has something for everyone and every song is very unique. Like drums? Savior is a very drum first song. Like fast-paced almost rap-like lyrics? Right On Time is yours. The title song Californication is almost ballad-like. And then it ends with Road Trippin' - an acoustic gem. Lots of others blend some of these traits into one song. The versatility and range of this album is just top notch (and the band itself is incredible). Every song on the album being unique is something more artists should strive to do.
I should have liked it, but it was just bland and meh.
Let me get this straight. George Harrison leaves the Beatles then immediately releases a triple-album that is over 2 hours long and has 28 songs on it? And they are all mediocre? Yea, I see why this stuff didn't make any of The Beatles albums.
Brought back a lot of memories since I haven't listened to this in a long time. It used to be in my rotation a TON back in the day but has fallen off since. Overall, I think it has held up to the test of time and it was still mostly good.
That album was the last thing I needed first thing in the morning.
I appreciate Black Sabbath. Hell, I used to listen to this album a lot. I appreciate what it has done for historical reasons and who it influenced (even myself as a teenager). But this album just hasn't stood the test of time (at least for me). Still acceptable, just not great like I once thought it was.
Saw the artist/album and was hoping it would be better. Maybe it is on this list because it is 60+ years old and live?
The album was phenomenal when it was released and it has stood the test of time. It is still classic. From the lyrics to the actual music itself, all of it is top notch.
I need a cookie for making it through that entire album. Horrible. Terrible. No good. Awful. Bad.
Twas good. Real good. Really liked the lyrics and the stories they told.
It started off very island/cruise feeling and ended moving to a traditional jazz feeling. It was almost like two different albums. Loved the part that was more jazz than island feel.
Radiohead is good but not sure this album should make the list since it is literally their third album on here. If we going to duplicate albums why is the entire list just not Beatles albums? That said, the album is great, it just isn't their greatest.
Interesting. A new album I haven't listened to yet. No idea why it really made the list though after giving it a listen. Great for the background and overall was good. But nothing stood out or was great.
Phenomenal album. So many hits on this album it is crazy but all the songs are just as good today as they were when they were released. The album has stood the test of time.
I am probably going to get crucified by my friends for saying this, but this album is just acceptable. Kind of just barely on the good side of mediocrity.
When I was a kid I would fly between houses as long as I put my blue cape on. As I got older I could still fly but then it was between cities as long as I had the cape still on, which was getting a lot smaller on me. Now that I am in my 40's I can fly between states and have perfected the art of flying with this trusty, tattered, faded, children's cape!
That whole story I just told you is bullshit, but it is minuscule compared to the bullshit that is this album. The only thing in the world this Beach House album influenced is me to make up some bullshit to try and rival that bullshit.
I get that "teen bands" are very influential (even if not my cup of tea) but to pick this over Backstreet Boys or N'Sync or any of the other similar ones that fit this category is bonkers.
First song, even though I had heard it before, was still a huge welcome. It set the ton and the pace for the album. Then it just kind of went downhill and went there fast. I wish the album was as good as the first song, but that was just not the case.
Mark Knopfler with that guitar is a god. Insane talent. What a debut album by a great band.
I just could not do it. His baggage is just too much for me and I can't get past that.
Didnt really hate it but I don't think it was good by any means.
Used to love this but I think I mellowed out a little in my old age.
Surprised how well this album still holds up. More surprised it isn't still in my rotation.
Sounds eerily familiar, like it could be in the soundtrack to my favorite movie or something. Not bad music at all
I should have liked this more I think?
High School me would have rated this a 6 out of 5. I used to listen to this a TON. I still think there are some masterpieces on this album, but the rest has kind of just turned to good, not great like it once was.
Was real good. Think the album has held up through the ages (unlike the Legs video that has not really held up - though was probably super influential at the time).
It is acceptable... for elevator music or something. Not sure how this influenced anyone though.
Dude is one of the best songwriters we've ever had the chance to listen to.
It is REM. No brainer 5 stars.
Who doesn't love Blister In The Sun? Rest of the album was good, but not near as great as that opener.
It was refreshingly different. I love country music but even this was a bridge too far to put in my normal rotation. I did really enjoy listening to this album though and thought for something that was 70ish years old has held up extremely well. Some of the lyrics seem very common-place and infused in other songs (especially the first song San Francisco Bay Blues). I can see how this guy influenced a ton of other musicians.
Mixed bag on this one. Some good, some bad, but mostly just not my cup of tea. Kudos to this site for actually including something wildly different though.
Love the WHO but this album is not as good as some of their later stuff. Still good though.
Kind of wild they produced this double album with 28 total songs on it and literally every song is better than good. Like BANGER, BANGER, BANGER, just very good, BANGER, phenomenally good song, BANGER, BANGER, etc. This was a staple of my younger years and is still in my rotation today.
My mom loves this shit. I think it is just shit.
This is one of Fiona's worst albums IMO. Not sure why it made the list
I feel like these guys should have been on the radio 20 years ago. Seemed overly pop. First few songs were OK then it all just kind of seemed to blend together. If there weren't pauses in between the songs I would have thought it was all just one giant song.
CCR is so underrated. Lodi is one of their best songs. Great album all around.
Yet another Black Sabbath?!? I like them and I think this album is influential. But more influential than the other few Ozzy/BS albums we have already heard? Hell nah.
Hells YEA! Great album and great artist.
I can see how this 60+ year old album is revolutionary and very influential. Not bad at all.
I should like the Sex Pistols. I like a lot of punk, rock, punk/rock type stuff. And I think this album deserves a spot on this list as they influenced a ton of others. But if I had to rate this one it would be a 5 for deserving but a 2 for how I liked it. So I guess middle of the road 3?
Is there a world in which a Beatles album - any Beatles album - would not get 5 stars?
The Last Broadcast? Self fulfilling prophecy because that's the last time I ever listen to that.
If we could rate his music only we would give it a 5. But he is about the worst person alive, which is really saying something. I often wonder would his music be so good if he weren't so crazy?
Knew a lot of these songs and they were OK. Wouldn't be in my normal rotation because I am not a boomer or a filmmaker but acceptable.
No idea how that made the list.
I should have liked this more. No doubt they were influential though.
was good. this one should probably be on this list.
Used to love this album. Used to love this band. I guess I have mellowed out some in my old age as it doesn't really hold up. However, I can see how it is on the list and it should be IMO.
How can someone not like REM?
She is insanely popular and I see why she is here, but this just ain't for me. Would rate 2 for my preferences but 5 for influence.
Still holds up after all these years. Still a classic.
I wanted to like these guys back in the day. I wanted to like them now. I feel like I should like them. But something just isn't right or good with them for me.
The Passenger will always be such an iconic song. The rest of this album was just acceptable though.
Never heard of these guys, which kind of surprised me considering the first song on the album had 750 million listens on Spotify. Overall I thought they were pretty good. They were a little poppy (popish? pop-centric) for my tastes, and often floated into a blend of background music, but really enjoyed it.
I know they were popular I just don't understand how.
He was OK when with the Beach Boys but as a solo artist? Come on man! Ain't nobody got time for that.
I feel like I could passionately defend this take via the 'Change My Mind' meme with the dude behind the table: If this album was Joe Schmo's work instead of having the name Brian Wilson there is zero chance it makes this list.
Take a Walk on The Wild Side is an underrated song that deserves more praise. Rest of the album was good. Nice pick for a Friday!
Fleetwood Mac will always be highly rated by me. Although this choice of album is odd considering all their other hits.
Just terrible man. At least pick an album with their hits, even if the hits are shitty.
The BOSS is the best. Full stop. Him, Bob Dylan, and Jason Isbell are the greatest lyricists I think ever existed. No one call tell a story like those three.
Interesting, but not sure it was really interesting in a good way?
Nevver heard of this dude but saw he was a folk singer and got excited. Then I listened. He is no John Prine or Woody Guthrie and that is all I can say about that. Pretty subpar.
This album got me turned onto Pink Floyd back in the day, which led me to buy their boxed set (when those were still a thing). I became obsessed with this band and still put them in my regular rotation. Shine on!
Tis good shit. Could listen to that all day.
Love Stephen Stills' song Treetop Flyer. Bummed it was not on this one. Album overall was good just not sure it should make this list.
Bloddy terrible album. Awful band. Not sure how this made the list.
Don't have much to say except glad it is over.
Was good. Never been a huge fan of these guys but still not bad.
Love his song Hallelujah but I guess not much of his other stuff?
I love Eminem way more than a 44 year old male should.
This album should probably be on the list since it started the ambient music craze per wikipedia. But I would rather listen to anything else than what this was. I find it hard to believe people willingly seek this album out.
One of the all time greats. Who does not like this album?
Heard this band but never gave them a listen. Everyday People is a classic. I just wish the rest of the album was as good as that one.
Come on Eileen is the GOAT of songs. But the rest of this album was pretty much awful?
What the hell was that?!?!
Alanis Morissette was pretty ahead of her times in my opinion. Women, much less 20 year old women, didn't challenge the system. Her eff-the-patriarchy songs and style were revolutionary. Oh, and the album is pretty fantastic too.
Stevie is always a classic
This "list" goes downhill a little everyday huh?
Big fan of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. But after giving this album a listen not sure how much ole David Crosby contributed to the success of that group.
Cohen's voice is so mesmerizing and smooth. This album is just acceptable though.
Great album, just not really my cup of tea. But I think it deserves to be on this list. 5 stars for that but my personal taste would rate it a 2.
I wish I would have clicked the 'Did Not Listen' button. But I did listen. And it sucked. I just wished I didn't.
So tired of all this british rock that is trash on this list.
Why don't I like this band more? I think it is a me problem for some reason. I should. Like a ton of similar music.
Love Janis. This album makes me think of my mom so it is usually a good one.
Takes me back to high school, but in a good way. This album is still great.
Been a long while since I listened to this album in its entirety and it still holds up. Pour Some Sugar On Me is an all time classic, but so many other bangers on here too. Just non stop good songs. I should listen to this album more.
Terrible. Couldn't even make it through the entire thing.
The greatest story teller of our generation with mostly just an acoustic? Does it get better?
Had some better songs than I had thought it would. Glad I listened and I can see how it is influential. Having said all that, not really my cup of tea.
Really liked it and this album is the reason I joined this group. It broadened my horizon and introduced me to music I would have never listened to. Sure, this program has done that before. But in the past it has been some shitty band from Europe rock that has less than 100 monthly spotify listens that only made this list because they either blackmailed the authors or the authors are in the promoted band. But this felt different. From the story of why the Songhoy Blues are here to the music itself, it was unique and refreshing. Not sure it will make my weekly rotation - and that is more than acceptable - but they were top notch and very good. 10/10.
Not sure what that was other than terrible.
