Sure, Seven Nation Army is overplayed but Jack's songwriting and guitar playing is top tier on this record. Meg providing a thumping ass heart beat keeping everything on track without Jack getting too carried away. Their most cohesive record. This shit rules.
Sort of a bummer because I think the music on this album is fucking great, but I find his singing underwhelming and borderline annoying.
So weird and kind of awesome. He's like a crooning Eric Burden with the humour of Nick Cave and Warren Zevon performing an operatic spaghetti western in Vegas.
I think I’ve outgrown the allure of Jim Morrison, but the musicianship is still top tier.
Listen, I know Ella is great and these songs are classic but… this shit is too long
Another solid Beck and Dust Brothers collab
Really good. Amazing orchestrals
Amazing voice. Only really know a few of the hits before this one. Solid album.
Big OutKast fan. This isn’t my fave album of theirs but I get why it’s on the list. Some serious bangers.
Def more produced than Live Through This which I still listen to every so often. Love’s lyrics and Melissa Auf der Mar’s bass are so good. Makes sense Billy Corgan helped on this record cuz there’s def some smashing pumpkins influences to it.
Love Pixies but never spent too much time with Frank's solo stuff. I really liked this record.
A certified classic. Is Flava Flav sorta annoying? Ya but he earned it.
Ice-T hard as fuck. Bodycount, bitch. But this shit is too long.
Not bad. No Motorhead or the like.
Never heard of him before and loved it. Will for sure revisit
Billy seems to have some relationship issues. Top notch production though.
Gabriel > Genesis. Great debut album.
Great stuff. Drums sound heavy and snappy. Everyone brings it.
Stan : That's what they called themselves. Like, "The Clash". The only band that mattered. They called themselves that for a reason. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This album came out when I was coasting through college and changed the trajectory of mainstream hip hop.
Lounge tunes. Made me wanna put on a suit and smoke a cigarette but probably wouldn’t revisit.
I have a lot to say about this album, and also not a lot to say about it. I can appreciate the lyricism and some of the strange rhythms. It's both wildly entertaining and sorta stupid. I'd listen again, but I'd make sure to take some drugs.
The only Elvis that matters.
Top tier string pluckin’. Sick voice.
King Louie from Jungle Book? Hell yeah. Nice horns and hilarious lyrics.
This is sort of when they started to suck. Howlin for you is trash but I enjoyed relistening to this and would definitely not complain if someone put it on. Some of the instrumentation sounds like wu-tang beats.
Masterpiece
Production and musicianship is good and I know she's a good songwriter, but this ain't for me.
The stuff truck commercials are made of. Decent road trip tunes. Not really into the bluegrass jam kinda thing but it's fine. Is Stills even that good of a singer though, really?
Sure, Seven Nation Army is overplayed but Jack's songwriting and guitar playing is top tier on this record. Meg providing a thumping ass heart beat keeping everything on track without Jack getting too carried away. Their most cohesive record. This shit rules.
It’s fine.
It's got fun beats but he's a pedo.
Definitely sick of the singles but a lot of other good tracks I wasn't familiar with since I only listen to the records when they're on a shitload of drugs.
A little dated for my liking. A lotta better electronic albums from this era in my opinion. Didn't hate it but it was sorta annoying.
One of the best rappers and producers there is.
Not my fave Aerosmith record but it’s def got some tracks.
Sounds like a flex, or not true, but I was obsessed with this album when I was 5. My older cousin was a teenager and had me remember all of the skull faces on the cover by name. This disturbed my mom. Are some of these songs dated? Sure. Does it still fuckin' rip? Hell yeah.
Never heard these guys before and it was a ripper of a good time.
One of the best, if not THE best record of their's.
This shit blew my fucking mind when it came out. It still hits so hard. Perfect album.
Godfathers of Electronic. Gotta love it
This album will always remind of when the grade 10 talent show when the teacher band played “sultans of swing”. Mr. Kulka could shred! In retrospect I shouldn’t have dared Matt Gies to yell, “SLAYER!” during the performance. What a couple of little shits we were.
A gamechanger album. And some great vids. So good.
I should probably review this album higher but REM have so many albums and even though this one is really good, it’s not one of their tops for me.
A pervy, old, junkie writes a buncha dumb songs.
Not her most popular, but actually one of my favourite Bjork albums.
Just solid fuckin' rock n roll tunes. Love the way Bonham's kick sounds.
Lyrics are so good and everything sounds so clean and bright. Love it.
All the Ronettes songs are the best. I sorta hate Christmas music but I can dig these vibes.
I never really listened to Talk Talk before but I really liked it. A lot of sounds going on but they all work together. I'll def check out their discography
It's Bowie, so it's obviously good, but I can name 10 or more albums I like better than this. Good time though.
Don't fuck with a lot of old school blues, but Muddy is a straight up fuckin' G.
I recently tried to get a kid from work into Tom Waits and told him to start with Rain Dogs. It freaked him out. This might've been a more accessible album to start with.
My second nick drake album. Love this dude. Gotta get both on wax
I’ve heard of these guys my entire life and maybe even heard a few of their songs before? Maybe just the Mrs. Robinson cover from Wayne’s world 2. Regardless I was a little underwhelmed. They’re fine just kinda boring. I’d give it a 2.5 if I could.
Big Fela Kuti fan, so was stoked to hear one of his son's albums. It's definitely a good time. A little long, but fun.
I once saw Butch Vig at a movie theatre in vancouver but was too chicken to say hello after the flick. Anyways, this album rules. A lot of different influences but never confusing.
Another classic.
Not sure how I completely missed this band/album but it's sweet. Funky, fun, chill. A lotta different vibes and all equally cool.
Fuck yeah. Maiden rips. So many good shreds and Dickinson sounds so good.
Nothing beats sniffing some Elmer's and jammin' out to this rippin' album.
Sort of a bummer because I think the music on this album is fucking great, but I find his singing underwhelming and borderline annoying.
Healthy mix of pop bops and rippin' bangers.
So weird and kind of awesome. He's like a crooning Eric Burden with the humour of Nick Cave and Warren Zevon performing an operatic spaghetti western in Vegas.
Top ten hip hop albums of all time. 🙌🏾 All amazing rappers and the beats are gritty and soulful all at the same damn time. Not sure if I like this or miseducation better but they’re both perfect albums.
I appreciate this album way more after watching Mike Judge's "Tales from the Tour Bus". Homie could crush! In all honesty I've been getting more into country these days, so I enjoyed this. Hits a little less corny in my old age.
Jane's is one of those bands where each member is just so fucking good at what the do. A straight up classic.
I've never fully deep dived into Elton, mostly because I'm sick of hearing the same singles my whole life. Sort of embarrassed it took me so long to finally give this whole album a listen. Even though it contains a few of those said singles, in the context of a full album, they're pretty great. Also so many great songs I never heard. Nice work, E.
I'm giving this a 4 'cause it's obviously sweet but I've heard it way too many times and prefer listening to some other Mac albums. Like Tusk!
Masterpiece.
More digestable than Trout Mask Replica for sure. Sweet that Ry Cooder plays on it. Again, I know I should like Captain Beefheart more given what I'm into, but I still sort of think he's overrated.
Some serious finger waggin', toe tappin' stuff. I loved his cameo in Big Mouth.
These guys a boring version of all the good bands from this era. Also his lyrics are weak. He's trying way too hard.
Def makes me wanna hit the sock hop and boogie.
Great album by the best band ever. A game changer.
Some sick bass grooves and classic hip hop vibes. Sometimes the hooks are kinda corny but still a decent listen.
His voice is pretty fuckin' sweet. Quite a fun record. That "imagine" cover though, wtf.
Yusuf's one of the best singer/songwriters to ever do it. I also listened to the re-recordings of this album and they're also still great. His voice has aged like a fine wine.
A classic. Paved the way for all the amazing trip hop and even better massive attack albums that followed
Swan dress Bjork rules. One of her more tender albums that I don't throw on too often. That being said, the singles are hard.
I've heard a lot of Gruff Rhys collabs but never got into these guys. I dug it! A lot of stuff going on but it's just fun and weird. His vocals aren't anything amazing but it has that flaming lips sort of charm.
My least favourite of the Berlin trilogy, but still some real solid stuff! Curious what other Bowie albums are on here... Hoping there might be some of the weird later stuff too.
Bro. This shit SLAPS. Saw them on this tour in grade 10 with Coal Chamber. Elite stuff.
I love this era of the lips. Obviously Yoshimi was the one that got me super into them, but this is just as good. Love Friddman's production. One of the most fun live bands. I recommend hallucinogens.
Not for me. I'm not crazy about her voice. Even the massive attack stuff is my least fave of their songs.
I didn't love these guys when they came out but I really like 'em now. I think they matured well and I appreciate going back and listening to the older stuff. Coincidentally, my favourite album is tranquility based which I guess old school fans hate.
This is the only Wilco album I really know and I always say I'm gonna deep dive into their discography and always end up just putting this on. However, this time I'm actually gonna do it! ... maybe....
Kinda crazy I never listened to the Fall before considering how much I love Post Punk. It's a good time. Not my favourite but I wouldn't turn it off if it came up on shuffle.
Real elegant stuff. I loved this album when it came out.
A precursor to so many shoegaze albums and bands I love. Also her voice is amazing.
Love Elliot Smith. Top tier sad guy music. Reminds me of college.
I forgot how epic this album is. So good. Giving it a 4 but could very well climb to a 5.
When we talk about the brilliance of artists like Gabriel or Bowie, Kate Bush should be part of that conversation. Amazing.
Never heard these guys before and they're sick. Synthy punk. Hell yeah.
A classic! Annie is great
