I can see why this band is called the most rock and roll band in the world, this album is a brilliant album that just does everything right. It’s nothing complicated just great rock. Favourite song - Hard to Handle

The album's first half is solid, with great tracks like Something, Octopus's Garden, and Here Comes the Sun. However, the second half feels fairly repetitive and wacky. This album is very Beatlescore which appeals to some but not quite for me.

From the Cure that I have listened to prior with their hits (Boys Don't Cry, Friday I'm In Love and Just Like Heaven), it has a lot less variance and a bit more of a mellow edge. However, this album is very well produced and all the songs work well together.

The uplifting nature of the album was very refreshing and contained some subtle intricacies with the drumming and saxophone solo. However, the single "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" feels completely out of place and interrupts the album's flow. This results in an enjoyable album to listen to however nothing groundbreaking. Favourite song: The One I Love

This album conveys emotions that she has felt beautifully. Whilst not the type of music I would go back to, her music highlights struggle, joy, and despair being captured by her powerful but gentle voice. Representing the intricacies of her life and life in general for Black women. Favourite songs: What more can I say & That's all I can ask

The album has shown some brilliance, with the first four songs deserving the praise they deserve. However, for me, this album struggles with having too many loud and obnoxious parts, which is highlighted in Lithium and Lounge Act that shows brilliance apart from these parts. Although this album's significance is pinned to these parts preserving this youth sound that still holds it, it doesn't resonate with me. I can understand the brilliance, but it’s not my style of music. Favourite song - Breed

My poor, poor ears. While this album would appeal to heavy metal fans, it is such a drag to listen to. The drummer is incredible, which makes this album somewhat interesting. The more mellow songs are better but nothing special. Favourite song - Snuff

It is a very experimental album with a lot of quality and unique instrumentation. Enjoyable listen and I'm excited to hear more albums from him. Favourite Album - King's Lead Hat

I can see why this band is called the most rock and roll band in the world, this album is a brilliant album that just does everything right. It’s nothing complicated just great rock. Favourite song - Hard to Handle

Good reggae album, just does with it does right. Probably would be so much better if I was high. Favourite song - Till Your Well Run Dry

Really amazing music with amazing drum parts, an amazing piano solo in Speed King and just music that rocks. Favourite - Speed King

An album that sounds very ahead of its time, Tricky does an excellent job at creating very groovy and chill music that is well articulated. Her soft voice makes a good impression on this fascinating album.

Amazing voice, but it just doesn’t catch on, like it feels a tad incomplete missing that 5%. I understand its appeal and its fame but it just misses the mark a little. Disappointing. Favourite song - when we were young

This album is very comforting. It would be a great album to listen to in the car, as the music moves along. It gives the vibes of a 60s album in a more modern time. Favourite song - There She Goes

lounge album, very good at conveying interesting lyrical content but just doesn’t go anywhere. Not my taste

The hype is real, Elvis Presley deserves all of the legacy that he has achieved. In the context of his generation, the more modern take on music, the use of rock and roll, and an incredible frontman in Elvis changed music. I will say the album's order could be a lot better as it switches from rock and roll, to dance and slow songs too much.

Paul has an amazingly smooth but clear voice that elevates this album very well and a way with words to pivot this voice. Fascinating instrumentation that makes very complicated rhythms sound very succinct. Excited to hear more from Paul Simon. Favourite song - Train in the Distance

An Interesting album, very mellow and smooth that gives off a vibe of being a Cowboy in the Midwest. The brilliant use of harmonicas in many songs brings an amazing element to the album.

A very experimental album, with a lot of American and Spanish influences that creates a different perspective on music then a lot of the music on this list. Some really good interesting parts of the album that showed brilliance like Crumble and Guero Canelo but there were some parts that just didn’t hit the mark. Favourite song - Crumble

Very experimental for the time, some real quality in drums solos, lyrics and composition however just doesn’t hit the exact spot for me Favourite song - Underture

Dreamy like feel, drums that just make you feel. Just beautifully put together like a warm blanket. Some of the non vocal songs are very experimental and don't add the most value towards the album. Also, WHAT IS THIS ENDING so very off putting and strange. Anyways, very very good parts and some that will make you wonder why, why, why.

Man, as a way to make a statement to the Beatles he did. Just the perfect way to do that. However, seriously this album doesn't need to be this long. I wish I could appreciate it more but it would be a lot better if it was just reduced which could have made this album so much easier to enjoy. This song has brilliant elements, amazing drums, experimental guitar bits and everything else. Harrison gives a connection as he owns himself in this album grants a really good impression from his quieter role in the Beatles. I understand the context, but not for me.

His vocals are incredible and he knows how to work around a song. It's very soothing and sophisticated, which links very well together. Whilst not my favourite type of music, it is brilliant at what it does.

Really neat album with amazing elements, well composed, well articulated and sounds like the wonderful essence of Cuba.

I dislike her voice, it is just so annoying and sounds like a rat. Her voice washes out the solid rhythms. Favourite Song - Come to Me

big drums, big sound, very synths, very angelic but why? This album is against some other brilliant albums that missed out. There's nothing bad about it but it sounds like a blurry mess. Maybe if I was against a boss in a medieval video game it might be a good fit it's so not it.

Some excellent stuff in this album, it flows super well and I can understand the hype on it. However, for every good song, there's a song that doesn't go anywhere which takes away from the album quality. Favourite Song - B.O.B. - Bombs Over Baghdad

It's classic rock, with some very nice guitar lines and riffs. His voice is very rounded and speaks well to the surrounding sound. Good stuff.

I'm not the biggest fan of the intro. The album is melodic, and sounds like he appreciates nice artwork. His calm voice complements the music. It's probably a good album to listen to while driving with a girl however, I would skip the last song.

It was a well-produced album, songs flowed well. Songs are soft and it shows, however, was not my jam.

Sounds alright? Like cool, it's rock and there are some cool folk influences but nothing special. It's not a surprise that the first song on the track is the most played.

As someone who isn't on a downward spiral, this album didn't personally relate. However, it is pretty neat.

It's Bob Dylan, I understand how much influence he has on the music industry but for me, it's just average. Not my taste.

It's just a good rap album with good backbeats and solid vocals to match.

I can see why Disney signed this man up to compose and sing some of the most iconic Pixar films. His voice is just incredible, such a clear and well-rounded artist that is very soothing to listen to. The songs are brilliantly well done as well having much country and elements of rock and roll composed so brilliantly. An absolute American road trip album.

Kinda cool, just music that is great to vibe out to. Favourite Song: 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds

Hard rockers, I wish people paid attention to what the lyrics were saying.

The bassist is insane, just entertaining and choppy soul music. Some sophisticated stuff which is neat. Good vibes.

A left-field album that tries to capture Waits experimental and creative direction. I appreciate all of the different instruments but it's not my taste of music. Tom Waits at his best.

Sounds like word vomit, with just 60s rock and roll elements. Nothing special.

A lovely Cafe lounge album, pretty neat.

Good album to drive too, the quality of songs shifted from great to just average however, the more rock adjacent songs were better than the slower songs. Alright country album.

Second Paul Simon, starts groovy but then mellows out, but that's what Paul Simon is. Just so talented, a great storyteller, and makes for a great listen.

Such an incredible voice, clear, strong but beautiful. Backed by brilliant instrumentation which just composed so well. Great listen.

This album is truly special. Through introducing the sitar to a Western audience, it delivers a captivating experience. The unique blend of elements in each song is beautifully composed, making for a fascinating listen. Not sure I'd go back to listen again, but very grateful I could.

It is just sound, like awesome it supposedly makes inbounds in experimental music but honestly, it felt so pointless listening to it. What do random noise and conversations mean with these interesting and experimental albums that showcase the best of music? No idea.

A relief to have a nice jazz album, thought everything was just great. Good vibes, good sound and good instruments. That street life song is just such a great start to the anlvum and deserves its praise.

Just good reggae, Marley places himself brilliantly in each song and is backed by good social commentary.

She is such an American sweetheart in her music, which makes for an easy and sometimes fun album that works fairly well. All I Wanna Do is just brilliant and I'm surprised they didn't understand that should be the single of the album. However, a lot of just forgettable songs and songs that don't hit the mark compared to how I thought it would be, with All I Wanna Do. A good pick but not exactly stepping into greatness.

I understand this album as being a tribute, in a sense, to Kurt, with such a similar style to Nirvana. It doesn't have that same legendary and rebellious youth sound that made them so successful. Grunge fans would appreciate this album, but not for me.

The album's massive hits stick out like a thumb (for the better), compared with the rest of the album which is just decent indie rock with nice electronic elements.

Just a mediocre album, doesn't go anywhere. Is nothing.

As the last album on my list was Scott Walker, this album is remarkably similar. However, this is not a compliment. His voice is so mediocre and when the music did something, he did nothing. The ending of Becoming More Like Alfie was neat, but that was the only cool part. Not horrible, just mediocre.

Ska and Reggae fusions have some interesting and neat parts. Nice listen but nothing special.

Just awesome, no surprises about the quality of the album and his incredible work on the electric guitar. If only I got to see him live, that’d be incredible.

Apparently there were a lot of hits in this album, I didn’t really hear it. It was just rock, and it felt like the album didn’t really go anywhere. Wasn’t bad but it didn’t make me go crazy like them at concert.

It is 90s rock, trying to achieve something that it is not. Lots of sound but does not achieve much for me. I'm not saying it's completely bad, but it isn't a classic.

It is a brilliant rock album, an undeniable classic with so much vying for it. I mean it has Stairway to Heaven, one of the most legendary and best songs ever written and composed and other classics like Black Dog. It is era-defining, and so influential to this day with young people like myself still enjoying it 54 years later.

Softer kinda of rock, did cool stuff, it was good.

For a grunge band, they are precisely what Nirvana isn't but in the best way. This authentic rock sound for their opening album is neat.

For the time that it was made, it sounds futuristic in its approach. It would seem to be that using electronic synths adds to the subtle ambient sound nicely. Interesting listen and sounds like the wake of computer related music.

After an underwhelming first track, the album opens up to be such a fun and iconic album. A lot of timeless hits (see what I did there) and other very energetic and quirky stuff which achieves exactly what she wants. Also that transition from He’s so Unusual to Yeah Yeah deserves all of the credit. Brilliant, fun album that everyone can enjoy, not just teenage girls from the 80s.

Fun beats, great backing tracks, enjoyable rap however it doesn't pivot towards doing much that is special.

Pure greatness, Chris Martin is so brilliant and everything around it is so beautiful. All of the hits are incredible and backed by such sweet and softer tracks put so well. It's not the first album, but Coldplay at its best.

It is not his best, but it is a mellow Springsteen album that does bits and shows greatness. A super American album and tides well.

The album's start is quite neat, with a mixture of rock and folk music composed beautifully. With excellent usage of wind, strings and piano parts put succinctly with the flowing rock parts. However, over time the influence of rock is lost, and it becomes a folk album that feels monotonous. I feel for those who had to listen to the deluxe parts.

It's just a standard good reggae album, but it's not the stuff for me. The last few songs are great, but the rest is just alright.

The dynamic between the woman and the man singing was nice, however what a dull album. Seriously, it was just so average and nothing special at all. No hate, but that was not worthy of this list.

It's one of the best live albums ever, I always appreciated Kurt's more mellow voice over his high grunge parts. This places him as one of the best vocalists ever, placed with the rest of the band. It sounds like a studio album but with a live feel. Brilliance.

As much as I enjoy Genesis's later stuff man this stinks. It is such a long, dull album which sure does cool stuff. Phil Collins is great as usual and I'm so glad they made him the lead after this.

So Britpop, a lot of variance in music in the middle part which was nice. Like, one of the most British albums ever, which isn't horrible but man I got sick of the accent LOL. Not bad.

This guy knows his crap, he is just such an interesting and polished album for his second album. Great singles, good album tracks and his death in the album too. No wonder he is the top rap artist right now.

A different sort of album than I was expecting from the Beach Boys. A more mellow but also, very refreshing album. Did appreciate them doing Student Demonstration Time as a nod to the Vietnam War protests. Interesting stuff.

Just some guys that made some good music. I didn't feel the love, the band name is misleading.

Another metal album and is over an hour long. Sure the Brazilian influence in some of the songs was refreshing but the album is such a drag.

Hendrix, you know how to rock, as Filmore once said "Respect the classics, man. It's Hendrix!"

Wish there was more hype in this album, it started well and just fizzed out over time. It's like a weird balance between club music and your more typical electronic album which might work in niche environments but not in most occasions.

It was a dull album, it didn't feel like it went anywhere.

Can’t lie, a little disappointed that this was my first Bowie album that I got to listen to. I didn’t get it, it just felt like sound and nothing more special. Couldn’t appreciate it, and I can’t wait to hear more of Bowie so I can understand the significance of him.

It was a generic rock album that sounded like some guys out of a garage made an album. If I knew the guys and heard this from them I'd be impressed but compared to some of the other stuff we get on here it's super tame.

I'm glad I listened to this Pakistani music, and it contained some good ambience. Though I wish I realised that it was a double release instead of a single release. Alas, it was a good album.

As a white Australian man who has British ancestry, I won’t complain that I had to listen to this album because they had to endure British Colonialisation and the Disastrous impacts that it had on Sri Lanka which resulted in the points she talked about in this album. Whilst it is not my cup of tea, I’m glad I listened to it as is some semblance of her culture and experiences.

This makes me not want to go to California, as most of the songs are either a slurry mess or resemble bad white rap. This might be one of the most overrated rock bands ever...

Timeless in nature, I'm impressed with how modern-sounding it is for the late 60s. Loved the jazz elements; however, it contained many mediocre songs that didn't go anywhere, sprinkled with brilliance. Not my type of music, but I can appreciate it.

It was kind of boring, it sounded like a generic pop album about themselves. Nothing was redeeming about that album, and I felt like I was tuning out. This is definitely someone else's cup of tea and I hope they enjoy this French Queer pop album, but not for me.

Great continuation of Paul Simon's brilliance, he continues to know his way around a song and this album is special. Contains great hit singles like Graceland and You Can Call Me Al as well as interesting collaborations with various other musicians that all add to the album.

Hell, Yes, these guys know how to rock. The start and end of the album are cool and contain a nice mix of elements; however, the middle felt like a bit of a drag.

As someone who is NOT a fan of Morrissey in the Smiths, and he ruins the band in my opinion, I appreciate his more mature take on this album.

Completely forgettable and uninspiring but not bad, It's a good listen tho.

Even though I'm not as much of a fan of Stipe's earlier voice, this album delivers. It has some interesting components and enjoyable rhythms.

I'm surprised by the different music influences on this album for being a club classic album. Mostly, a vibe however that Back to Life song ruined the flow. I'd be hitting the clubs if they played this type of music.

Some would say it's experimental, others would say it's sound for me, definitely sound. I'm not against this album's inclusion in the list but man I didn't enjoy listening to this.

Honestly, the way that Yorke sings and the music that is played behind it fit well. Just a bit of an atmospheric sound that floats around in your mind. Not a bad album, but some of Radiohead's other, more grounded albums are better than this.

Small, but nice little punk album that is enjoyable with simple brilliance. They would be brilliant hearing them live.

Never been the biggest fan of Prince, like the hits are alright and the rest has cool moments, but it's just not my type of music. Didn't appreciate all of the moaning, but whatever, that's his style.

This album's elements are a sweet mix of different genres, providing a nice groovy vibe throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed it, with nice collaborations from Kendrick and, surprisingly, Kenny Loggins?!?!

I can understand the hype behind this album, but most of the album feels like soulless R&B music. Apart from Lost, which is class, he knew what he did with that. Still not bad, just not my taste.

It wasn't bad, but it didn't do anything for me. Felt a bit underwhelming and middle of the road, with peculiar guitar work that did very little to change my opinion on it.

Compared to Beck's Sea Change, the more experimental approach on this album is quite refreshing. There's something about the blend of such different genres and production styles, when done well, that makes it work. Still, nothing that special about this.

Pretty neat club album, appreciated the different samples and it led to cool stuff. Radio 7 being a James Bond cover is bloody sick as.

Honestly, kind of a dull live album. It didn't do a lot to achieve greatness, like it was an ordinary live album of Cheap Trick that I would expect if I went to their concert. Like, it isn't bad, but fairly generic rock music.

Great start and ending in the album, just fairly groovy indie music that was a lot of fun. The middle of the album felt fairly repetitive with the first bit, but the album picked up with New York. Get Innocuous was an excellent opening track. Not the greatest fan of his voice tho.

It's exactly what I expected from Creedence, that raw Southern state sound. It's the real iconic sound, but not groundbreaking like some of their other stuff. I would go back to this if I were on a long road trip, especially if I were in the South.

As an Australian, I got a bit excited at a “rock” and electronic album from a band that I didn’t know. The starting track was really great, and I was excited for where the rest of the album would go. However, it switched to an uninspired and music that sounded like, sound. Some tracks were decent, others just felt rubbish. Fairly disappointed.

I seriously need to stop looking at the reviews of the albums before I listen to them. I got SO excited about the prospect of a mix of Sting and Coldplay, as those are my favourite bands and artists ever. However, I was delivered a typical British Indie rock album... Like sure, it kinda sounds like Sting, but if he sang in a heavy British accent, it does have Coldplay vibes, but nothing like the brilliance of those two. I'm sure if they didn't make this so vibey and a bit dreamy, and leaned into the rock element of the album, minus the real British accent, it could be brilliant. But no! It wasn't bad, just disappointing. So sure, I'll rate this another 3, like I don't have enough 3s on my list.

I had Amnesnic like two weeks ago, and this felt like the first part of that album. Fascinating music, just very unique and experimental but not in tune with the music I resonate with.

Honestly, surprised. These guys did the basics brilliantly and produced such an incredible hip-hop album. The jazz elements work a treat, showing that these two genres fit well. Didn't appreciate the misogyny in there, however, such a brilliant album, and shows that I appreciate hip-hop more than I give it credit for.

I don't understand this, it is just some loud music that feels soulless. Like sure, the band knows how to play, and it still felt so empty with the same consistent sound throughout. The ending of the last track after five minutes of nothing was pretty neat, but that doesn't redeem the album in the slightest.

For a post-punk sounding album, I don't hate it! The rock and orchestral elements work well with the voice, but nothing groundbreaking.
