Classic early blues rock album. Early metal vibes for sure. Smoke on the Water, Space Truckin, and Highway Star are the classics but Maybe I’m a Leo stood out to me. Cool groove.

In the 90’s I knew park life and Boys and girls but I don’t think I’ve ever listened to the entire album. Not impressed on the first half. Some of the deeper cuts are ok. Bank holiday is almost punk. Debt collector is polka. Ha. Jubilee is interesting but the melody on verses sounds familiar to me. Clover sober and London loves might be my favourites

Landmark album.

In ‘88 I was too much of a metal head to appreciate the pixies. It took me a few more years. Surfer Rosa is a classic album, the groundwork for indie/fringe/grunge whatever you want to call it. 4/5

I can’t say I’ve ever listened to an entire Sinatra record before. Everything sounded familiar. Cheesy? Sure. Dated? Yep. Timeless? Maybe. Can something be dated and timeless? I think so. The big band horn swells after each line is a little much. The performance is great and Frank’s velvety vocals are spot on. Listened to it twice and that’s enough 3/5

Never listened to Duke before this album is long. It’s also live and I like all the little noises Duke uses to cheer on his band. Especially during the ripping sax solo in Dimineuendo And Crescendo In Blue, 27 bars apparently; it’s a long solo but fitting. It’s considered a huge album in jazz history. I enjoyed it more than I expected. Big band swing isn’t my go to but the significance of this recording wasn’t lost on me. 3/5

Over an hour of Irish drinking/fighting music is a bit too much for me. Lots of this sounded familiar but could be because it all sounds the same. Enjoyable and I was doing a stupid jig in the car which my daughter hated. 3/5

Sorry Lenny. This is bad. Beautiful, but bad. You’re a pretty cool guy I imagine. The irony of the meaningful well written lyrics overtop the cheesy pop beats may be on purpose and tongue in cheek but it doesn’t make it any better

Overrated. The popular songs were ok. Catchy. But not exciting. The rest was forgettable 2/5

I thought being older and wiser and much more open in my taste. that I would get it. didn’t like you in th 80’s and I didn’t really like now. Sorry. I’m sure you’re a lovely person

Late 70’s. I’ve heard this called pop-punk which i disagree with. It’s catchy but not pop music. It’s angst filled sardonic vocals but enough to want to pick you up and let you go dancing. Not disco dancing but a nerdy guy letting loose and doing what feels right 3/5

Didn’t blow me away but it’s really good. Love the swampy, blush, garage sound. 3/5

Psychedelic space travel? Sign me up

13th of 1001 albums to hear before I die Rush. 2112. Here we go. I am supposed to like Rush. I’m Canadian. Like rock and metal. Play drums. Yet… I really don’t like them. This old lady I used to work with loves rush. Her son did and she did because of that. She thought I did and would always talk about Shane loving this band so much. However , I do not love this band. Song songs are great. Geddy is a great bassist and Peart is obviously amazing. But I never really liked them or listened to them much. I actually thought 2112 was the same song at the beginning of frizzle fry. But I was wrong. That’s YYZ. Great song but not on this album. I found this one boring tbh. Greatest musicianship. Boring 2/5

I never really listen to priest in my youth. I know most of the singles and never loved them, but hot damn those deep cuts are great.. Great example of the NWOHM that influenced a lot of thrash bands in the 80’s Grinder is so good; love the heavy bridge breakdown. Least favourite is red white and blue. What a terrible way to end an album.

Great album start to finish

A few good songs. I think my favourite is the last song

Meh. I give it two stars. Sounds very generic and formulated. I guess i didn’t make the connection

I would lying if i said I listen to a lot of world music I do have a few that I like though. I appreciate the difference sounds and different beats. This is pretty good. I’m big on drumming on world music and this one doesn’t have as much as I’d like. Some synth sounds are dated b My favourites: Diniibe. Gidalem

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D’Arby (if that is his real name) Uninspiring. Was hard not to skip tracks. I understand he had some singles off this but it’s all just boring 2

Mutha Fn’ Ray Charles!!

I have never heard this; or even heard of John Martin. It was fine. Did I NEED to hear this? Probably not

Another unknown album. It was ok.

I know two Elo songs (don’t let me down and witchy women) I guess from the radio when I was in a car as a kid. Those songs are terrible. These songs are terrible. I think it’s my first 1. It’s really terrible.

Great jams.

Good. Not as good as dummy.

Better on the second listen. Some good tunes.

Not as good as surfer Rosa or Doolittle. Are 3 pixies lps really needed?

If I’m putting this against other essential Miles albums I’ve got to give it a 3/5. I enjoyed this record but I know there are a better ones out there

Not their best work

I had to stop as soon as I self esteem came on. Couldn’t take anymore

Clapton may be a right wing racist douchebag but he sure can play the geetar. Unfortunately this album is a bunch of white washed cover version of better songs

Another Kate bush album. Damn. I feel like I’m running up a hill.

Gangsta pop

I don’t like Coldplay but this is a pretty damn good album. Too bad it all went to shiite after this

It’s a 5 obvs. All this is improvised after a really shitty day. It’s just phenomenal

Not enjoyable

It was fine

Awful schmawful

Prob a 3. Which for me is a good rating. I have been trying to listen to more world music and this album generator is a means to that. It’s my second Baaba Maal lp and I’d say it’s fairly consistent but this one sounds a little more traditional as it’s not overloaded with 80’s sounding keyboards

Love it

Terrible

Too much Hank

It’s well played. But I don’t care

It was fine. Some nice bluesy stuff. Lots of typical stones stuff

Hey kids, rock and roll Nobody tells you where to go

Imagine my dismay when this came up. I lived through it once already, isn’t that enough

There is something about these guys that I just don’t like. I hear some cool riffs, some heavy parts but nothing really grabs me. Maybe it’s the marketing - maybe it’s maybelline.

Funkalicious. I dig it but Curtis has other lps I’d rather listen to

Not terrible. Not great. Another 3. Prob says as much about my mindset as it does this album. It was ok. I didn’t hate listening to it. That is all.

Ugh. Boring.

Apologies Mr. Loaf. I do not like it. I’ll give a two because you were in rocky horror and fight club.

I think the bullies from grade 8 would beat me up If they knew I gave this a 2. Bon Scott is the superior singer and these early albums show some blues influence, I guess. But it’s not great. Not terrible. It’s just ok.

Cool

A later career masterpiece

One song stands out. The rest does not. That one song is half the album

I was getting ready to not like this because of all the collabs and didn’t seem genuine to me for some reason. Up on my high horse saying true jazz needs suffering and the commercialization isn’t the real deal. I listened to it… it’s friggin John Lee Hooker!!! Of course it’s good

Sometimes if an album doesn’t catch me right way I leave it playing quietly and go about my day occasionally checking in to see if anything sparks an interest. Someone it does. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes on my second play, I listen a little intently and get a good feel for it. Sometimes I just decide it’s rubbish after a song or two and staying present for an entire album is a huge choir. Sometimes I can stick with it. Sometimes I can’t - this is one of those times.

I’m not really a fan of big, over the top, operatic, pop rock; but queen are pretty much the ‘king’ of this style. Do I rate it high because of its influence and importance as an album launching a huge career? Or mid for my personal opinion? Decisions, decisions…

This is definitely an album you should listen to before you die.

And I will be your one more time If you will be my one last chance

Blowing’ through the Jasmin of my mind So much soul, so much funk So smoooooth

Smooth like butter I don’t really like a lot of rap or hip-hop or whatever (my stats in this will confirm) But I really like this. I guess it’s all the new shit I dislike.

Just the other day I saw a listing for a Steely Dan cover band. I said to myself “really? They have enough songs that people care about to warrant a cover band. ?” So, as it turns out, I have a lot of these songs before. They’re ok. Not great, not terrible.

God I hate pop.

Not my cheese but I guess I do respect Lauper for what she’s done with this. She seems pretty cool and it’s better than most pop from that time

One good song and it’s probably overplayed

Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah We are vain and we are blind

I can’t imagine ever saying, “Holy crap. Check out this Beatles album” It was fine, I guess

“I went down to the meat rack tavern” The opening line on this album gives no illusion of what we’re in for.

Great album

I actually liked some of this. Some of the beats were cool. Some of it was annoying.

Reckless. Breaking boundaries. Giving no fucks. Taking no prisoners.

“Stop! Look! And Sing Songs of Revolutions!" This was so good. Dark, uncomfortable at times. Brilliant

Nicht großartig, nicht schrecklich

Daa da da da da da daa Daa da da da da da da da da His voice can sound a little grating after a while I like Black Math and Ball and Biscuit the best i think.

I have a much respect for Debra Harry and Blondie. Liked some of the deeper cuts as well. Like “I know but I don’t know”

I fucking hate Lincoln park. I’ll try to get through this. God, it’s terrible

The seminal Pixies album for me.

First song is a classic. A few others are ok but country honk is utterly terrible.
