Popular Reviews

I’m sure if I saw this live it would have been cool but it’s only fine listening to it. This suffers from the same thing that the rest of these bands suffer from - they all sound the same. Sure they’ve got some funk but that’s not enough to justify why 1000000000 bands like this exist on this list. This isn’t groundbreaking, revolutionary, etc. This is only cool if this was your favorite band or if you happened to be high or drunk listening to them at a party.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Nov 11 2024

Very good, didn’t realize Jim Morrison had such a blues voice. Remember to watch the movie.

Marquee Moon by Television
Nov 12 2024

It was fine. Marquee Moon is a good song. Overall the album sounds like a generic rock album.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Nov 13 2024

Enjoyed listening to this album but I don’t know enough about classical music to understand what’s unique or special about it. I didn’t love the first or second part, second half I enjoyed more.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Nov 14 2024

Good album, will probably listen to it again

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 15 2024

Album was fine, generic 70s British rock

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Nov 19 2024

Just okay, his other stuff is incredible though

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Nov 20 2024

Different for sure. Was confused during the first listen but understood and appreciated it more during the second listen.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Nov 21 2024

It’s boring, sounds like any other acoustic soloist. I’m sure the lyrics are sweet, etc. but ultimately whatever.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 25 2024

Amazing. Blues / soul mixed with rock is what’s most impressive about CCR.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Nov 26 2024

My kind of album. Instrumental album, but full of soul. Impressive.

Nov 28 2024

Interesting, much better than Mars Volta for sure

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Dec 04 2024

Not only is this not for me, the album absolutely sucks

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 11 2024

Fine, not impressed

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Dec 13 2024

This list is making realize a lot of rock bands in the 70s sounded the exact same. It’s fucking boring. Our parents like this music because they were teens and feeling rebellious. This music sucks.

1999 by Prince
Dec 16 2024

Good

Be by Common
Dec 17 2024

Dope

American Pie by Don McLean
Dec 18 2024

First song is a classic but rest of the album is boring

American Gothic by David Ackles
Dec 19 2024

Not good, not many people listened to this anyway.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Dec 20 2024

Good but again my issues is that a lot of these albums sound the same

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jan 07 2025

Very good, but the lyrics are ass if we’re being honest. Too many hits though so gotta give it five stars.

Jan 08 2025

Surprisingly good. Very thoughtful, introspective lyrics. Even the music itself is surprising - folk, funk, country.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jan 09 2025

Orchestral electronic….its interesting. Electronic minus the party I guess. Not bad, just not for me.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jan 16 2025

Fine, sounds like Brazilian lounge music

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Jan 29 2025

I liked it for some reason. More importantly, Leo did too.

Guero by Beck
Jan 30 2025

Not bad. I like the variety of different sounds they achieved in the album.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 03 2025

Horrible

Feb 06 2025

I’m sure if I saw this live it would have been cool but it’s only fine listening to it. This suffers from the same thing that the rest of these bands suffer from - they all sound the same. Sure they’ve got some funk but that’s not enough to justify why 1000000000 bands like this exist on this list.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Feb 19 2025

Nope

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Feb 27 2025

No

Quiet Life by Japan
Mar 06 2025

Interesting album. Rock with elements of jazz. Makes sense why they call themselves Japan.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Mar 13 2025

Was a little afraid of the length of the album but it was well composed and overall I really liked it. Original sound and awesome vibe.

Vulnicura by Björk
Mar 14 2025

Very good. Will be giving her entire catalog a listen soon.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 17 2025

Great

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Mar 19 2025

Really interesting. Kind of like a rock opera but more whimsical? Haven’t heard anything like it yet, closest would be Bowie

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Mar 24 2025

Pretty good, didn’t sound like a basic rock album

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Mar 27 2025

Quite good, can get a little monotonous after a while

Woodface by Crowded House
Mar 28 2025

No

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 31 2025

Iconic

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 09 2025

Very good

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Apr 14 2025

Good but not great

25 by Adele
Apr 29 2025

Excellent

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Apr 30 2025

Struggling to understand why this was considered a good album. The album isn’t better than any of its predecessors from the 50s or 60s.

Faust IV by Faust
May 16 2025

Whatever

Synchronicity by The Police
May 27 2025

Overall it’s hard for me to like this sound because I don’t think it aged well. Every breath is a classic and it’s very good. Mother is hilarious and actually good I think.

LP1 by FKA twigs
May 28 2025

Fine but boring

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 02 2025

It’s okay. I think 13 year old me would have loved it.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jun 03 2025

Very good

Jun 04 2025

Not bad, was thrown off by the cover. Fun dance music. A little dated but ahead of its time.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 06 2025

Groovy

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 10 2025

He’s a very good songwriter and while he doesn’t have the most amazing voice he still sings these songs the best

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jun 12 2025

I enjoyed it

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Jun 27 2025

Sounds like something I would like but I don’t. Kind of boring I guess.

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 01 2025

Starts off pretty good but I ended up bored after a few songs

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jul 02 2025

Waste of my time

The Bends by Radiohead
Jul 03 2025

Pretty good

Kenya by Machito
Jul 09 2025

Enjoyed it

I don’t like live albums

Horses by Patti Smith

No

Jul 15 2025

Perfect

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jul 16 2025

Great first song, decent overall

Queen II by Queen
Jul 21 2025

Interesting to hear their sound before they evolved

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Jul 23 2025

Didn’t need to listen, heard plenty of songs when I was younger

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Very good

Tapestry by Carole King
Jul 31 2025

Excellent

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Aug 06 2025

Okay

Transformer by Lou Reed
Aug 19 2025

Not the best band of all time, not the best album of all time, but very good still

Rocks by Aerosmith
Sep 03 2025

Sep 17 2025

Sounds like they were ahead of their time
