5/5
I love this kind of themed album, and it was full of excellent songs as well! I remember hearing this album for the first time when I was probably 13 or 14 and was amazed and in awe of the whole concept. Loved David Bowie ever since
David Bowie
3/5
I know this album is a big deal but it just seems disjointed on first listen. Going to have to try it a few more times and try and figure out what Bowie was thinking
Duran Duran
4/5
Didn't realize there were so many hits on this album. Liked it more than I expected
Frank Sinatra
3/5
I enjoyed listening but not sure when I would listen again. I have no link to this music, beside of course Frank's great Christmas tunes
Talking Heads
5/5
I have loved this album since the day I bought it in the mid-80s. Talking Heads were a fantastic band, but the early albums are so much more raw sounding even though they kind of sound over produced in the studio. I will listen to this album more over time I am sure. And Psycho Killer is one of the great songs of all time
The The
3/5
Never heard this album before. I liked it! Sounds like an early version of what I hear these days on alt nation. I would listen again.
Roxy Music
2/5
I was a little disappointed in this album. I really like Roxy Music, but this early album did not have that feel of the latter albums.
The War On Drugs
3/5
I have never heard of this band, but i liked the album. Seems to be my style of music
3/5
Kinda psychedelic which I did not expect from the Kinks
The White Stripes
3/5
Good White Stripes album. Is really diverse and fun to listen to. Uses many different sound styles and as usual they are very experimental with the sound
Beatles
4/5
Flamin' Groovies
3/5
Why didn't I know about these guys. They are great
Bebel Gilberto
2/5
I didn't understand anything here. The music was nice but it was sung in a foreign language so no clue what she was singing about
Radiohead
3/5
Didn't like it as much as I hoped. Kind of all over the place
Cheap Trick
4/5
Fantastic. I remember hearing this when I was young and the guitar and beat just keeps it being awesome
1/5
Heard these guys were we great but this live album is a bit of a mess
Moby
2/5
Not a fan sadly. I know even back in the day I didn't like it either
Tom Waits
2/5
The Clash
5/5
One of my very favorite albums of all time. First Clash album was so fresh and raw
Eminem
2/5
Beck
3/5
Quiet album. I was really surprised by this
Jamiroquai
2/5
Not a big fan of this kind of acid jazz music.
FKA twigs
1/5
Terrible
Björk
3/5
I had never heard Bjork until now vut of course heard the name lots in the past.
I really like the music, kind of all over the place isn't it. The lyrics are very hard to listen to, I think English is difficult for her.
I would listen again
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
What a fantastic album. I can't believe all the influence CCR had when they were only around for 3 or 4 years.
The Psychedelic Furs
4/5
Great album with that distinctive style of psychedelic furs.
Destiny's Child
3/5
Muddy Waters
3/5
I love listening to Muddy Waters, only heard 1 album before. Music is very tight compared to the huge music of today and has a great beat and his awesome vocal style. I read that this concert almost didn't happen because of riots the day before at this blues festival, only thing that saved it was filming the day for a documentary on American culture
Jane's Addiction
2/5
Been caught stealing is one of my favorite 80s songs but the rest of the album doesn't seem great to me
Basement Jaxx
2/5
Nina Simone
3/5
I didn't really care about this album as it started but Nina Simone has a really great control of her voice and makes every song something you have to stop and listen too. I ended up really liking it and glad I had this opportunity to find a new (to me) great singer and music
The Who
4/5
Really great album. Nice clean sound, good interaction with the crowd, lots of good music
Coldcut
2/5
Not for me. Just noisy.
In case anyone can not find it on Spotify, go to YouTube, the whole album is on there
Peter Frampton
4/5
Love this live album. One of the great guitar live shows of the 70s before everything got a bit too heavy. Loved hair bands in the 80s but even then I still loved this album
TLC
3/5
I had only heard waterfalls before bit this album has lots more. It just kind of flows well through the whole thing. I definitely liked it a lot more than I expected
Coldplay
3/5
Album is ok. Kinda whiny but I guess that's the style. I would listen again on a rainy Sunday
Blue Cheer
3/5
I had never heard of Blue Cheer. Awesome rough sound.
U2
4/5
Great album. The one that got me loving U2 early on before fame caught them. Lots of different styles on here
The Kinks
3/5
Super good. Kind of reminds me of that psychedelic type of sound of the late 60s. But the way the kinks would do it instead
The B-52's
4/5
Loved this album. What a cool band
Kate Bush
3/5
Pretty good album but there are better ones by Kate Bush i think
Machito
4/5
Very cool. I love this and it becomes on of my first 4* albums
Pixies
4/5
Fantastic album
Bob Dylan
5/5

5/5
One of my favorite albums. Used to play on repeat for me at one time.
R.E.M.
5/5
This was my favorite REM album and since that time I have gone back and listened sooo many times over the years. Definitely one of my top 5 albums of all time
Christina Aguilera
3/5
Not my style, but WOW she has an amazing voice 😍
XTC
2/5
Radiohead
4/5
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
I am partial to Born to Run, but this is probably his second best album. It seems to me that these early albums of Springsteens with the E Street band are so much better than the big stadium anthems he wrote later
Rush
2/5
Not for me. I have heard about this album forever and finally heard it for the first time. Even as a fellow Canadian I just don't get the hype
Robert Wyatt
1/5
This is terrible. Why was it even recorded much less on this list?
White Denim
3/5
Stan Getz
3/5
Manic Street Preachers

Franz Ferdinand
4/5

Nick Drake
3/5
I really liked the music. Didn't really like his voice. But will definitely listen again to this album
The Undertones
3/5
Hey this is a great album

Pink Floyd
5/5
2nd favorite Pink Floyd album after Dark Side
Iron Maiden
4/5
Bad Company
5/5
This album was a centerpiece of Friday nights when a few of us would hang in a buddies basement drinking beer back on the 80s. Super great uplifting album with a couple moody tracks built in.
Television
4/5
Brian Eno
3/5
What a strange album. Nice to listen to while working on the computer I guess
Joy Division
3/5
I liked it, but it all kind of sounded the same time me. Kind of depressing, which is fine as well. I kind of feel sorry for their sadness
Kacey Musgraves
4/5

Great album. First time listen, will listen again
Arcade Fire

4/5
A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
I loved this album. I had heard of them at the time they were around and wouldn't have liked them then but this was super great to hear now, well now that I am an adult and not some irritating, waiting for the hair metal to come teenager
4/5
Wow, this whole album is great!

Fantastic album

2/5
Not very good
The Blue Nile
2/5
Not very good
Radiohead
3/5
Pretty good album.
Leonard Cohen
2/5
When i was younger I thought Leonard Cohen was great. I must have been pretty pretentious because he really isn't.
Pixies
3/5
Good album. Not as good as the first couple though
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Fantastic album. I think my favorite of his
ZZ Top
3/5
Not as good as I remember it when it came out. Full of hits, but the same sound everywhere. I have listed to mostly older ZZ Top when I listen to an album of theirs and those where great. I think this album was a push to get super popular by the label or something because the sound definitely changed
Blondie
3/5
Great Blondie album. Would definitely listen to it again
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
The Stooges
4/5
David Bowie

Like sugar. It tastes really good but not really food.

5/5
3/5
I really like fragile better but still this album is really good to listen to as music, not as good at being background music
Air
2/5
Boring movie soundtrack

4/5
Great album
Hanoi Rocks
3/5
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Long but great album. Pastime Paradise was the first time I heard it not knowing that Gangstas Paradise was basically a cover. Best song was Sir Duke
Rage Against The Machine
3/5
I really hate Rage Against the Machine when I hear their stuff on Alt Nation on SiriusXM. Don't get me wrong, i love a lot of heavy stuff and it really bugged me thinking i am too old a guy to like something like this.
But after finally listening to this album I think I get it, and I am able to appreciate the hard shredding style, the lyrics are really relevant, not just then but today as well. Hearing really closely I think is important when listening to super heavy music, otherwise it will just seem like sonic assault
Jethro Tull
4/5
I loved this album. I had only heard Aqualung and Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull, but there is so much more to this band

Tortoise
3/5
I wish I could find more just instrumental stuff like this. Really good, I hear there next album was even better

Radiohead

Beatles
5/5
One of my favorite albums ever. I love the way a few of the second side songs just merge together. Also this really sounds like it is the end of the band, lyrically as well as the fireworks of the songs, kind of celebrating what had been
