The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd · 2 likes

5/5

Used to listen to this on the bus ride everyday in high school. Insane to think that, right after this, Pink Floyd wrote Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall all within about 6 years. 5 easily

The Stranger

Billy Joel · 1 likes

3/5

It's okay. Every time I listen to Billy Joel I'm reminded of my college music theory professor who hated his guts for some personal slight.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

2/5

bro is really just naming different people the whole time 2.5 maybe the most mediocre album i've ever heard

Nevermind

Nirvana

3/5

Why is he always talking about guns. 3 This is 100% a good album but it's a chore to listen to.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

WHOA 4.5

Paul Simon

3/5

Not the best workout album 3 It's missing something...

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

3 I know I'm white because this just reminds me of the Beastie Boys, who released their first album the same year as this

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

2/5

You can tell this is the in-between of like 50s rock and the later 80s/90s rock. Sounds like it should be from the early 60s rather than the 70s imo. 2

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

First half is definitely better than the second. But, maybe I'm just not weird enough to get it. 4

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

2/5

SimCity music

Killing Joke

3/5

Tolerable. The Wait is good, Bloodsport is a good workout tune for cardio. 3

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

Pretty neat. What I think of when I think of jazz. Still not really my thing but still good. Kind of Blue edges it out as the better Miles Davis album to me. 3

Van Halen

2/5

This is a natural development in the music that Elvis was pioneering. I had a realization about halfway through this album like Mr. Krabs playing golf: "Wait a minute, I hate Van Halen" 2

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

1/5

This album sucks. Like Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Silver Mt. Zion but bad. Temptation of Egg is maybe the only halfway good song on this album. 1

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

2/5

Not sure about this one. Maybe if I'd discovered it in college, but now I just find it annoying

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

3/5

It's fine. 3

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

5/5

OOO yeah this is good. I was worried with it being a live album but trusted I was in good hands with Thin Lizzy. I know I'd like a little more Irish in me. 5

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

2/5

Hmm. This is good, but I think I'm starting to realize that I don't really like hip-hop. Sabotage is great, but that's because it's their most rock song. Am I old? Or not old enough? 2

The Rise & Fall

Madness

2/5

Yeah this kinda sucks. There's a song in the beginning that reminds me of the MST3k theme though. And Our House. 2

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

1/5

This was not what I was in the mood for. I like CCR, but this album confirms to me that that's the exception, not the rule.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

2/5

This Corrosion is neat. Rest of the album is not great. If anyone is listening to this outside of being forced or it being the month of October, please seek mental health services. 2

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

1/5

Genuinely could not finish. It's not that it's bad, it's just so outside the realm of what I enjoy. Why'd he make us all look at his bald head so close up? 1

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

Okay. I enjoyed it when I was listening to it, but honestly I often forgot it was on as it played. 3

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

2/5

I see your toes you little freak. This entire project is teaching me that, 99% of music made isn't bad, isn't good, it just is. Some folks might be struck a certain way by it, most folks won't be. That's alright. You don't have to enjoy everything. 2

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

It's good. I enjoyed it. I probably won't listen to it ever again, unless I boot up Tropico or go to a coffee shop that isn't playing jazz. 4

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

It's fine, probably better than most other albums this site has spit out. But 2 hours? Get a grip. 3

In Utero

Nirvana

2/5

Nirvana is bad. 2

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

2/5

Sure man whatever can you please not give me albums that are exclusively 50 years old. Honestly the more I think about it, the more I think the main problem is that (at least so far) this has forced me to listen to something I don't like almost every day, for usually 30min-1hr. That's a lot of the time I spend daily listening to music, and this is the first that it's not just music that I know I already like. Maybe that's what I'm revolting against

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

The Stranger

Billy Joel

3/5

It's okay. Every time I listen to Billy Joel I'm reminded of my college music theory professor who hated his guts for some personal slight.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

When they hit, they HIT. When they don't, meh.

Debut

Björk

4/5

I like her. Weird, in a fun way

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

5/5

Now HERE'S something I can wag my finger to!

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

This is seriously impressive how they managed to make every song sound identical. Something with the mixing of rock in this era makes everything mushy to me. It's okay. Not sure how Highway to Hell was picked as the hit over any of the other songs here.

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

She do be battling those pink robots
