5/5

He came on this bitch mad as hell!

All Ratings

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Short, sweet, and seamless listening experience. It sounds pretty damn good for being recorded in 1965! I especially enjoy the front half of the album.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

Not really my thing, but he was tickling the hell out of those ivories!

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Eleanor Rigby one of the best songs ever I think. Got To Get You Into My Life is also a megabop.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

2/5

Not really any big standout songs for me other than Killer Queen.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

Extremely cool album.

1989

Taylor Swift

5/5

There are definitely a few duds on this tracklist, but there's also multiple best-song-ever-mades on here. I really can't go any lower and still be true to myself.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

3/5

This is a cool album, but I definitely prefer Speaking in Tongues and Remain in Light out of the Talking Heads albums I've heard.

Talvin Singh

5/5

Really loved this one! I'd never heard of the Asian Underground subgenre/scene so this was a great discovery for me. I love electronica so much, it's cool to hear different varieties of it.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

There's a few songs here I couldn't really get into, but it's easy to see why this is so well regarded by hip hop fans and the general public. Swimming Pools (Drank) is still such a fantastic tune.

2112

Rush

2/5

This is definitely a high-quality album. I'm just rating based on personal enjoyment, and this just isn't my thing at all.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

4/5

Very pretty songs, though I'm not the BIGGEST fan of his voice.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

Pets sound good

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

A couple really great songs - specifically Man in the Mirror and Smooth Criminal, and a lot that just isn't that memorable.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

4/5

This isn't really my preferred type of music at all - but I enjoyed it! It's nice sounding jazz!

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

4/5

A few songs on this sound just a bit like they were recorded on a potato, but the boppery shines through.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

5/5

What a supremely new wavy bop buffet! Beautiful album cover too.

Connected

Stereo MC's

3/5

Very pleasant album to listen to, but no songs really left a huge impression on me. Very British.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

5/5

Absolutely beautiful set of tunes here.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Sounds very nice, but with the length of the songs it was a bit difficult for it to hold my attention.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Even though it's really not my type of music at all, I can still tell that it fucking rules.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

3/5

The album itself is nice enough, but man what is this cover?

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

2/5

I respect it, but man these songs just didn't really engage me at all.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

I can tell it's quality but also just not really my thing. Disarm is a great song.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

BAA BAA BAAAAA BA BA BADAAAAAAA

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

2/5

Don't really enjoy much about this at all - both the instrumentals and vocals were just kinda obnoxious to me. Definitely not my preferred genre/sound.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

3/5

A nice little rock album but nothing that really stuck too much in my brain. Also a few tracks were unfortunately more annoying to me than fun.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I don't know too much about the Rolling Stones besides their big hits and this is not what I expected a full album by them to sound like. Much more bluesy than I assumed. I like it!

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

I've heard people say this album is super frontloaded and tbh it is. The second half is still good but it's just the first half is life changing. Anyway Brandon Flowers the goat.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

3/5

This album was an extremely pleasant listen.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Very interesting...didn't expect this to have so few vocals.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

You know I like a lot of the weird shit, but they were also REALLY good at making straight forward bops before that.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

5/5

He came on this bitch mad as hell!

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

I'm not really a fan of one particular member's voice (the main vocalist on "One Love"), but I do like the other members' vocals and the instrumentals here.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

This was an experience. The lyrics are what they are, and it gets beyond uncomfortable at points. But sonically, this thing is front to back bops, which is the primary reason for this rating.

White Denim

3/5

Quite pleasant but not the most engaging album I've heard in this style of rock.

With The Beatles

Beatles

2/5

Not to be that friend that's too woke, but I've generated 37 albums so far and the count is: - 3 Beatles albums - 1 album by a female artist or female fronted band I find this a little concerning. Anyway this is a cute collection of songs/covers, but it doesn't feel very essential at all especially compared to the rest of their discography.

The Cars

4/5

A short and sweet buffet of bangers.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

3/5

A couple GREAT songs on here but generally not really my thing.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

Very pretty music, but it didn't really stick in my brain too much.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

2/5

This is some boring classic rock. I've heard much better multiple times with this generator.

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

2/5

This was something for sure.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

2/5

I'm afraid this is just one of my least favorite types of rock music.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

I'm not the BIGGEST fan of the full album, but it gets at least three stars for Maps alone. That's the best song ever made.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

This dude can write some songs even if he can't always sing them.

Tommy

The Who

3/5

*To the tune of "Rock Lobster by The B-52s* ROCK OPERAAAAAAA

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

4/5

Not my favorite Fiona Apple album but still really good of course.

Tracy Chapman

5/5

"Fast Car" is obviously an all time song, but the rest of the album is also quiet beautiful and emotionally striking.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

Not my type of music at all, but I can still tell it kicks a good amount of ass.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

3/5

It kinda falls off in the second half for me, but still, three absolute all-timer singles in that front half.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

Very very beautiful even if I didn't love every single song. The opening and closing tracks in particular are gorgeous.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

5/5

Oh yeah disco let's go hell yeah

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Good Rock and Roll.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

1/5

Obviously these guys are musical virtuosos and legends and all that, but this is a type of music I just have absolutely no fun listening to. And my rankings are primarily based on personal enjoyment.

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

Idk if trip hop is really super my genre, but this was pretty enjoyable. I was vibin'

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

30 minutes of just absolutely gorgeous soul tunes. More than one stone cold classic song on here.

The Score

Fugees

4/5

There's a few strange parts here but mostly just very beautiful and boppin' to listen to.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

3/5

Give Up the Funk is an all time classic, but the rest of the album wasn't the MOST engaging for me. I was still boppin' along tho.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

2/5

The other songs are okay - the title track is of course a classic but oh man those are some lengthy solos.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

Pretty cool album. The most striking part of the experience for me was realizing that the "I can tell that we are gonna be friends" song was by the fucking White Stripes and not someone in the Kimya Dawson indie sphere.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

The yacht is rockin' ladies and gentlemen!

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

A bit frontloaded but how can it not be with that opening three song stretch.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

3/5

Pretty groovin', though there are a few songs where I'm not the biggest fan of the vocals.
