Not very good

All Ratings
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
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Fantastic album. Highlights are of course Bridge, Cecilia, and the Boxer
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
Gillian Welch
2/5
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
Long double album but fantastic
Album is just OK. I liked the early stuff by U2 and also Achtung Baby, but the other stuff just seems kind of boring
Abdullah Ibrahim
2/5
Ministry
2/5
Didn't like it much. Just Jesus built my hotrod

Neil Young
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
3/5
Good album. I liked it
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
I really liked this album. Usually new albums to me can only get 3 stars but this is a solid 4 stars from me
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
Yes
4/5
I always loved this album. It was my favorite progressive rock album that I first heard around 1981cor so.
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
Carole King
4/5
Great album. First time listen, will listen again
Arcade Fire
3/5
Charles Mingus
3/5

Duke Ellington
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!
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Fantastic album
American Music Club
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

4/5
ABBA
3/5
Like sugar. It tastes really good but not really food.
I really enjoyed this album as it is all catchy but it is not really memorable.
Will definitely Iisten to this again, many times I am sure
R.E.M.
5/5
First best album i heard growing up
Gorillaz
4/5
Billy Joel
4/5

Just dont like the hip hop/rap much. Probably good but not that I can tell
New Order
3/5
Liked it. So much dark music and this was nice and light amd popy
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
Some of this prog music from the 70s is a little over my head
Talking Heads
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
5/5
Great album back in the day and still great. Just like other reviewers have said Bono is very irritating as a person ut the music is great
Johnny Cash
4/5
Hugh Masekela
3/5
I seem to like Jazz music but know nothing about it. My rating may not be fair
Doves
4/5
I had never heard of this. Why? What are fantastic album
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
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
Peter Tosh
3/5
Elvis Costello

MGMT
4/5
Violent Femmes
4/5
Tortoise
3/5
I wish I could find more just instrumental stuff like this. Really good, I hear there next album was even better
Megadeth
3/5
I liked it a lot more than I expected. Almost passed on it, but once you get into that screaming guitar it really golds you
Red Hot Chili Peppers
5/5
Fantastic album. One of my all time favorites
Lynyrd Skynyrd
5/5
B.B. King

I have listed to this album so many times since it came out that it feels like part of the soundtrack throughout my life. Great great album
Radiohead
4/5
Kanye West
4/5
Metallica

I always expect this to be a great idea but for some reason the symphony does not do anything for Metallica and neither the other way around
Radiohead

I love Bruce Springsteen but this album just does not sound very good to me
3/5

Otis Redding

Dusty Springfield
4/5
Led Zeppelin
5/5
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
Aerosmith
4/5
SZA

The Only Ones
3/5
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
The Isley Brothers
2/5
Pulp
2/5
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4/5
Really liked this album. Seems like i have had a string of 2 and 3 stars lately and it was refreshing to get something that really resonated with me
Soul II Soul
1/5
How os this supposed to be dance music without a little speed to it? Really not worthy of this list
The Doors
5/5
The Cars
4/5
Joni Mitchell
2/5
I am not a very patriotic Canadian, I find Joni Mitchell boring
The Clash
5/5
I was really young when I heard this album for the first time and I loved it then. Love it even more now
Elvis Presley

CHVRCHES

I liked it. Long but good
Amy Winehouse

Röyksopp
3/5
Interesting but not Bjork. Not sure if that is good or bad
Solomon Burke
2/5
Terence Trent D'Arby
4/5
Elliott Smith
4/5
Never heard of Elliott Smith, I guess i was not listening to radio at the time? Didn't care much on the first listen but let it repeat and felt the groove of it the second time. Really liked it
Guided By Voices
4/5
Lots of short songs with a lot of energy. Going to have to dig into this "band"
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
Radiohead
3/5
Still not really getting why Radiohead is considered the best ever by so many people. Still, I really like the album ok. Will have to dig into more reviews to see what I am missing
Shivkumar Sharma
4/5
I loved this on YouTube, thanks to the great commenters that let us know. This is a great album thar I will definitely listen to again a lot in the future. All music, no lyrics. All great!
Isaac Hayes
4/5
This Soul music is really great. I will definitly be diving into this album and more of this genre in the future
Rufus Wainwright
2/5
This album just was not very interesting to me, makes me wonder why I am listening to all of these albums.
Sure we get to hear the best music ever and discover what is really good that we have never heard before, but then you get something like this, nothing wrong with it but Rufus just does not seem like he has created one of the great albums it is just another record that if I head a song on the radio I would switch stations immediately.
To me 1 star is offensive, 2 stars is boring, and 3 stars is an album I would be willing to listen to again. This is just a 2 star and again felt like it was stealing my time that could be better spent listening to something that was actually good
Amy Winehouse
4/5
I know everyone likes Amy's black album but this one hits harder for me. Sure 50s-60s standards are great but the Jazz singing here is so good that I couldn't help but be focused on it and nothing else. What an amazing troubled soul she was
The Smiths
4/5
Good album. I am sure there were a lot that I liked more from the 80s but I am going to have to listen to this one through a few more times to see why so many people think this is the best album of the 80s
Joni Mitchell
4/5
I really loved this when listening today. Much better than the last Joni Mitchell I heard
Herbie Hancock
4/5
Kanye West
4/5
Really like this album. I have heard it a few times
The Police
2/5
I just feel this album has not aged very well since I was young. A few hits but not too interesting to me anymore
Johnny Cash
4/5
Wow this is a fantastic album. The only reason it loses a star is because it is covers of songs. Johnny Cash really gives a great performance here right near the end of his life but the energy he brings is awesome
The Stone Roses
3/5
Really good album, I had never heard of these guys before
The Stooges
3/5
Far edgier than the debut album by the Stooges. This was the last album with this lineup a couple of changes and years later Raw Power would be the bands best and last real album
The Stooges
3/5
You can hear a bit of the early punk, but it doesn't really get going until their album Raw Power
The Black Keys
3/5
I liked this album, right up my alley it seems, but i will have to give it a few more listens
Faust
2/5
I think i liked the first song. Then nothing after
Goldie
2/5
I liked the first song, Timeless, but the rest of the album was long and terrible to me.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Still early Stones. They hadn't gotten that growl that we expect feom them yet. Still a good album though
Soundgarden
3/5
Great album. I always liked Soundgarden but still for the genre don't like it more than 10 by Pearl Jam or Nevermind by Nirvana
The Jam
4/5
This is a really great album. I had heard of The Jam and never heard them but this album is on the edge between new wave and punk in a really great way
The Replacements
4/5
This is really a fantastic album. I hope people really understand the speed and passion of it
Stevie Wonder
3/5
Really good. This is my second Stevie Wonder album and before this lost I had never heard him
Stereo MC's
2/5
Really not very good. Wouldn't listen again
Deerhunter
2/5
Didn't care for it
