Okay, I liked this a lot more than Bad. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough is a great opener and incredibly funky, and overall this album was musically much better than Bad. But I don't know what it is - after a while Michael Jackson just does not click with me anymore (it's probably his annoying hee-hees and oh-ahs) and the whole album gets a lot less enjoyable. Overall: the first half was pretty good, but the second half was quite a drag. Favourite song: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

I’m not really into jazz, but this is pretty great.

It is hard to ignore the importance of this album, as a fundamental glam rock record. And while I enjoyed listening to this, some of the glam rock that was to follow is very much superior. I liked a lot of the songs - mostly the hits (Mambo Sun, Cosmic Dancer, Get It On). But there are definitely some weaker and repetitive songs on this album. Planet Queen was my least favourite, and I didn't feel much for Girl and Rip Off either. I'm torn between a 3 or a 4 out of five, but I'm feeling generous today so 4/5 it is.

I liked The Ox and My Generation. Other than that not much special. Never really been into The Who

3.5 / 5 rounded up I had to get used to the vocal delivery on this album but started to enjoy it more throughout. Might appreciate it more on consecutive listens.

This is just too long. Definitely preferred The Love Below over Speakerboxxx. Favourites: The Rooster, Church, Reset // Love Hater, Spread, Prototype, Hey Ya!, Roses

3.5 / 5 rounded up This was my first introduction to The Smiths and also my first time revisiting since. It has really grown on me and I don’t hate it as much anymore as those years ago, but still my least favourite The Smiths album. The 5 track run from What She Said to Barbarism Begins at home was awesome, just a shame that it had to be followed by the title track.

Not a big fan of Oasis. Nothing wrong with this but all songs kinda sound the same

Bangers all round and such a great variety in styles. Does not feel long at all. Favourite tracks: London Calling, Spanish Bombs, The Guns of Brixton, The Card Cheat, Train in Vain

I was in doubt whether to give this album a 4/5 or a 5/5, since there is obviously some weaker tracks on here. The sheer musicality and the memories this brings back, however, push it towards a 5/5 for me.

The album title says enough. I just can’t stand Michael Jackson and his hoo-ha’s for more than two song on end, so no surprise the rating here. I hate Speed Demon and Liberian Girl and the ever-present 80s drum groove throughout the album drives me insane. I also never realised how awful Man In The Mirror actually is and the two songs that follow make up the worst three song run I have ever heard. The fact that I quite liked the first two songs cannot save this album, probably because after those the amount of Michael Jackson I can handle was exceeded. hee hee 1/5

I had never heard of Isaac Hayes, so I was not sure what to expect. But to my surprise, I had heard Walk On By, but as a sample on Hooverphonic’s “2 Wicky”. I really liked the first two songs. REALLY liked them. That’s why I think it’s a pity that One Woman didn’t carry the same energy for me: it felt much more generic and dull. Not a bad song, but my least favourite of this album. Although the spoken intro to By The Time I Get To Phoenix is quite long, I don’t really mind it and it’s a nice intro to the song. The song itself is beautiful. The musical arrangements on this album are awesome, just like his voice, which is very soothing and perfect for this music. Definitely one worth revisiting.

I didn’t really mind this album and thought Don’t Tell Me was actually pretty good. There were no songs I absolutely hated but Paradise (Not For Me) went on for too long, however. I was about to give it a 3/5 but then the cover of American Pie came.

It is hard to deny the influence this record and Little Richard in general has had. However, there is only so much variation you can have within a twelve bar blues structure and eventually the album got quite boring.

THE SOUNDS OF FREEDOM RAAAGH 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅 This is the most American shit I’ve ever heard. Nonetheless pretty good. Favourite tracks: I’m On Fire, Bobby Jean, Dancing In the Dark

I had never heard of this album but it’s great! The dance/house elements combined with the 60s influences make for a very interesting and enjoyable trip-hoppy album. Only Love Can Break Your Heart is a great cover, Girl VII is super catchy and I liked the bass in People Get Real. The instrumentals Stoned to Say the Least and Like the Swallow stayed interesting all the way through, but Nothing Can Stop Us is probably my favourite song on here.

I don’t know if this was a good first “real” introduction to Leonard Cohen (I know Hallelujah, of course). I am sure that I don’t understand all the intricacies of the lyrics on this album, going off of what I’ve heard about Cohen. So lyrically, there is probably a lot of interesting things going on. Musically, this was nothing like I expected this to sound. I liked the three track run Everybody Knows, I’m Your Man, and Take This Waltz most of this wasn’t really for my taste.

This is definitely weird, but in all the right ways. Sounds to me like a mix of The Pixies and Nirvana. The instrumental 5-4=Unity was interesting (is it a "cover" of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five"?). This album gives me the urge to gather some friends and jam out and maybe start a band. Favourite Tracks: Stop Breathin, Cut Your Hair, Range Life, Fillmore Jive 4/5

I heard of many people praising this album and have listened to it before, and although I like it, it is not a 5/5 album for me. There is certainly nothing wrong with it; musically it is up my alley (Although Neignorhood #4 (7 Kettles) eventually got pretty boring) and it has some awesome lyrics, but it did not sound all that special to me - there is just something missing for me that keeps it from a perfect score. Favourite tracks: Neighborhood #3 (Power Out), Wake Up, In the Backseat

Enjoyed this much more than I had expected. I went in expecting a boring pop album but this was way more prog rock and gospelly than I initially anticipated. Pretty good listen.

Apparently I kind of like country? I didn’t mind this at all, but it’s probably not something I’ll return to. Some songs are a bit forgettable.

This album starts off incredibly strong with River Song. Thoughts of You and Time are two awesome songs. At times, however, the songs become a bit repetitive. His voice here is quite raspy and raw, very different than what I have heard on the Beach Boys' records. This is something I would return to on a warm summer evening, maybe with a beer and some friends, to put on as background music. If I had listened to it on such a day, it might have gotten a perfect score. Of the “bonus” tracks (which make up the majority of the album), I liked the first 4 the most. Wild Situation was a fun listen as well and Are You Real almost sounded like prog at times.

I liked this album less than I thought. Of course there were interesting and good moments. However there were too many moments that were too dragged out or boring, and on some songs I did not really enjoy the vocals (Cuckoo Cocoon, The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging). The biggest downside for me is that this album is goes on for too long. I was quite tired at the end of listening to it. Favourite tracks: In the Cage, Hairless Heart, The Carpet Crawlers, The Lamia, The Light Dies Down on Broadway

Super funky, super catchy all the way through. Loved the vocals on this.

Awesome album, with bangers all the way through. Knopfler’s guitars are never too over the top present but also never boring.

Sounds very much of the time. I liked the harmonies on this album, but not much more stood out to me. Maybe because the songs are quite short, they feel a bit forgettable. Favourite songs: 8:05, Changes, Indifference, Rounder And why did I hear “The Wheels of the Bus” at the end of Lazy Me, haha

I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but seeing this album doesn’t exactly make me think I will be listening to a masterpiece. Also reading that Pharrell Williams is in this group doesn’t really give me high expectations. At times, the album certainly exceeded those expectations. Some songs are incredibly catchy and there are some nice jazzy moments in it. There were also songs, however, that I just couldn’t bring myself to like (Fly or Die, She Wants To Move). The features by Lenny Kravitz didn’t do much for me either. Favourite songs: Don’t Worry About It, Breakout, Wonderful Place, Maybe

From what I’ve heard from Steely Dan, I like “Can’t Buy A Thrill” more. Still, nothing wrong with this: very chill and laid back, jazzy feel. 3/5 rounded up. Favourite tracks: Ricky Don’t Lose That Number, Any Major Dude Will Tell You, Pretzel Logic, Monkey In Your Soul

This album is just way too long. It’s not bad, but even a beautiful voice gets tiresome after 3 hours and I had to really force myself to listen to all of it

This has everything that I love about soul: incredibly funky, extensive musical arrangements, and Mayfield’s voice is awesome as well. I really appreciate the lyrical content as well. And man I wish Junky Chase went on longer, such a good instrumental.

Nothing I absolutely hated (anpart from Orange Rolls, Angel’s Spit), nothing I particularly loved (okay, maybe the outros to Theresa’s Sound World). A lot of these songs sound longer than they actually are. Favourite songs: Theresa’s Sound World, Sugar Kane, Chapel Hill

I feel about this album much the same as the previous I listened to: there is nothing that I hate, but there is also nothing that particularly stands out to me. I definitely liked the more slow, stripped down songs the back. A nice listen, but probably not something I’ll return to soon. Favourite tracks: I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself, In The Cold Cold Night

I feel very conflicted about this album. Musically, I liked a lot of this. The vocals, however, just sound wrong at times; it’s like he does not want to be there. I feel like this would be like a 3,5/5 but I’ll round down because 4 stars is too much for this.

Awesome beats and I love the politcal activist lyrics (although I am sure I missed most of it). The only downside for me is that I did not always like the hypeman vocals. Favourite tracks: Night Of The Living Baseheads, Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos, Rebel Without A Pause

Actually enjoyed this way more than I anticipated. I had to get used to her vocals at first, but other than that, this is just a really enjoyable synth-poppy new wave album. Favourite tracks: Time After Time, Witness

I read that this was the favourite American singer of The Beatles, and their influence on Nilsson is certainly apparent. Many of the songs sound very Beatlesque, while the harmonies remind me a lot of The Beach Boys. I love the opener and I liked the harmonies on The Moonbeam Song, but besides that, the album did not do much for me. His most famous song, Without You, is probably my least favourite from this after Coconut. Half of this is okay to great, the other half is bad. But the bad parts are worse than the good parts are good. 2/5

This is the first “world music” (maybe not really world music - still, the first non-English) album that this generator gives me. Whether they are good or not, I love the inclusion of these albums on this site, because otherwise I probably would have never found them and listened to them. Something about broadening musical horizons. With my limited knowledge of Spanish I tried to deconstruct and understand some of the lyrics, but the truth is that they are not necessary to enjoy this album. The music is super funky and immediately catchy: it feels as though you are in the middle of a carnival parade in Rio de Janeiro. Listening to this on one of the first truly warm and sunny days here makes this even more enjoyable. All in all, very pleasantly surprised!

A bit forgettable and boring, but it had some cool moments. Didn’t love the vocals.

I know this is a legendary album but honestly, I don’t see myself returning to it anytime soon. The title track is a banger though (of course).

Is saw someone here say that this is what the northern lights would sound like if they made music and I could not agree more. The rich soundscapes take you to another place, and because of the Icelandic vocals it almost sounds alien-like (because I don’t understand Icelandic). I felt like the album grew on me while listening to it (usually the opposite happens) and I enjoyed the latter half more than the first half, with Olsen Olsen being the best of the album for me. Just a bit long and probably not fitting to listen to on every occasion. I feel like this is more for cold winter nights in your bed than for warm and sunny summer afternoons.

I know that the former Beatles never reached the same musical heights individually as they did as a band. But I did not expect it to be this bad. I like the song Imagine from time to time but the rest was truly a bore at best. I absolutely hate It’s So Hard. I Don’t Wanna Be A Soldier Mama goes on way too long. And why do all the vocals have these weird effects? Disappointed, to say the least.

Musically I did not really hate this. The vocals are the thing I have the biggest problems with. The monotonous, bored delivery becomes annoying very fast. I could stand it for a little while but a few songs in, listening to the voice became really frustrating. This is just annoying, repetitive, boring and did not have to be that long. Favourite song: Shiver (probably the only melodic vocal moment on the album)

Loud harmonica

This shit slaps. Only knew Walk On The Wild Side and Perfect Day, but the others are great as well.

Super soulful pop album that sounds both very retro and modern. Love her voice and many many great tracks throughout. Favourite songs: Rehab, Back To Black, Love Is A Losing Game, He Can Only Hold Her

"I have often asked myself the reason for the sadness In a world where tears are just a lullaby If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness Maybe not, oh, but we can only try" Just one of the many lyrics I like from this record. Love her voice and the chill instrumentation on this (especially the piano). This brings up images of a slightly warm and sunny autumn morning, where the city is busy for the first time again as people want to catch some of those sweet rays of sunshine. I feel like this is the perfect way to do folk music, Very beautiful and definitely one worth revisiting.

Very boring 60s pop rock. Nothing interesting (except for Zilch) and gets annoying very fast. Also, I hate the cover.

I guess this was fine. Just a lot of synths. A LOT. And a bit too much for my liking. And after a few songs, that drum sound gets annoying as well. "I Am The Law" is definitely my least favourite track on here. One thing I liked about this album is that it has a bit of a darker sound than the synth-pop albums I am used to and it still remains dancy. So that was interesting to hear. The first and the last track are my favourites; all the stuff between them is not really my taste.

This certainly is an album that doesn’t get boring. Even the long ass instrumentals stayed interesting to listen to. But interesting is as far as I’ll go. There were some parts that just didn’t click with me and a lot was too chaotic, and I don’t think I’ll relisten to this again (I won’t put this on for fun, at least). However, this sounds way ahead of its time. So props to that I guess. 3/5

Okay, I liked this a lot more than Bad. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough is a great opener and incredibly funky, and overall this album was musically much better than Bad. But I don't know what it is - after a while Michael Jackson just does not click with me anymore (it's probably his annoying hee-hees and oh-ahs) and the whole album gets a lot less enjoyable. Overall: the first half was pretty good, but the second half was quite a drag. Favourite song: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

Enjoyed this, but it did not stand out to me as anything special. It felt a bit all over the place at times. Favourite tracks: On Sir Francis Drake, Beautiful, Quicksand

Very chill instrumentally and I like the range and fusion of styles on here. It sounded very grand yet at the same time very intimate. I did not know Gene Clark before, but the story I read about this album and his life after was very sad. "Now I see that in my visions That my eyes are seeing twice Once for every expectation And once for what I realize" - Some Misunderstanding

I’m not really into jazz, but this is pretty great.

I don’t know what I think about ABBA. Sometimes I really enjoy their music, sometimes I can’t stand it. I had the same with this album: I liked the hits of it, but the rest didn’t do anything special for me really. “Why Did It Have To Be Me” surprised me though: I did not expect to hear such a bluesy song on an ABBA album.

I liked this quite a lot, especially musically. And while it is undeniable that she has an awesome voice, it unfortunately did not always click with me and the raspiness was a bit overwhelming at times. Still, there were more than enough great moments to make this a 4/5. Favourite songs: Me and Bobby McGee, Get It While You Can

This is absolutely awesome. It’s so over the top, but in all the best ways possible. The album stays interesting all the way through and has such an amazing energy that drives the whole project. Favourite tracks: Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, I’ve Seen That Movie Too, Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)

This was okay, but probably not something I will return to anytime soon. The weird synth sounds didn't do much for me, and the singer's voice also wasn't really my taste. My favourite song of this album was therefore the instrumental YYZ, although I enjoyed The Camera Eye as well. I was planning on listening to Rush for some time now, as several people had recommended them to me. I don't know if it is something I will enjoy, but I might listen to them some more. So this was a nice introduction, I guess.

This album sounds cringe for some reason. It’s boring and nothing special. Not the worst I have listened to but cannot give it higher than 2/5

It is hard to ignore the importance of this album, as a fundamental glam rock record. And while I enjoyed listening to this, some of the glam rock that was to follow is very much superior. I liked a lot of the songs - mostly the hits (Mambo Sun, Cosmic Dancer, Get It On). But there are definitely some weaker and repetitive songs on this album. Planet Queen was my least favourite, and I didn't feel much for Girl and Rip Off either. I'm torn between a 3 or a 4 out of five, but I'm feeling generous today so 4/5 it is.

I’ve never really been into The Rolling Stones, and this album did not change that. It was a long album and all the songs felt pretty much the same to me. I constantly felt like I had heard the track before already. There were not really many standouts, and especially with a runtime of over an hour, it turns into quite a boring listen. Favourite tracks: Rocks Off, Let It Loose, Shine A Light

Latin American jazz and tango fused with triphop. This shit slaps.

What kind of name is Devendra Banhart

This really was a miss for me. It was all very boring and I did not love his vocal delivery. There were some nice guitars here and there but that was all I could appreciate. Also, I hate sitars.

I never knew I would enjoy one hour of piano improvising this much. This never got boring at any time and his playing is just incredible (I can only dream of being able to play the piano like this). The backstory behind this concert is very interesting as well. This list needs more albums like this.

Not bad at all. I was tapping my foot along with quite a few songs. But I have to agree with what other reviews have said: this album is just very repetitive. Plus, I’m not the biggest fan of club sounds.

I enjoyed this very much. Reminded me of Bowie and The Clash and it sounds so ahead of its time. Definitely strange, but in all the good ways. Favourite songs: Shot By Both Sides, Motorcade, Parade

I think he is heartbroken guys

I guess this was fine and most of the songs rocked pretty hard, but I’m not the biggest fan of live albums or The Who. Surely there must have been some studio albums that could have been on here instead of this.

Fun collection of short ska/reggae songs, and they even sound quite punky at times. The only ska I ever really heard was by Madness so it was fun to hear another band, although I think I like Madness better - but that is only after having heard this one album for the first time.

Very dancy, but wasn’t in love with the vocal performance. Probably not something I’ll return to.

Man I love Stevie Wonder. Most of the songs are instantly catchy and so funky. However, I just wish some songs would be a bit faster: I'm a bigger fan of uptempo Stevie than ballad Stevie. Favourite tracks: Maybe Your Baby, Superstition, I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)

This album really surprised me. I am not the biggest fan of folk music and I was expecting a difficult and boring listen. I was wrong. Scarborough Fair / Canticle is so beautiful and I loved Homeward Bound and The 59th Street Bridge Song as well. The songs are all short and sweet songs, and the harmonies and occasional strings are incredible.

I think the first half of this album is pretty awesome but this unfortunately changes from Under African Skies onwards. These songs aren’t nearly as strong in my opinion, with That Was Your Mother being my least favourite. Still, there is nothing bad at all on here, so it’s a solid 4 stars. Favourite tracks: Graceland, Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes, You Can Call Me Al

I don’t know what to think about this album. It was certainly an interesting combination of genres and influences, but at times I felt like the sounds were distorted or weird just for the sake of it and it was very all over the place. But, I must give him this, he’s a very unique artist - this album sounded like it came from a completely different person than the last one I listened to.

Not bad but didn’t really hit me. I guess I wasn’t really in the mood for this. NOTE: I only listened to the original tracklist of 10 songs. I skipped all the bonus tracks.

A bit too long and not really an album for me, but I’ve heard worse on this list. Liberation and Dreaming of the Queen were a bop. Go West was fun as well.

This being one of the lowest rated albums overall on this site, I braced myself for the worst. But you know what? This isn’t even that bad. And at times, I even enjoyed it. Especially Sweat Loaf, Graveyard (the second one) and 22 Going On 23. I found myself laughing at The O-Men and Kuntz: those songs are just ridiculous. This was certainly and experience, but probably not something I’ll return to.

Such a shame that this isn't (in full) on Spotify: now I had to listen to it on youtube with ads in between :(( This might be one of the funkiest things I've ever heard. Such rich musical arrangements and I was grooving along the whole time.

GROOVY! Really doesn’t sound like over an hour at all, this went by so quick.

Nope, didn’t really like this. There was so much going on but it all felt very incoherent. They try too much to really succeed in anything. Some songs were just outright annoying, like Hotel and Clockwork Creep.

I mean, what more can I say about this? Definitely my favourite Beatles album. Absolute peak.
