This was a great album! I felt like the band members can play their instruments really technically well. They are very talented. I would certainly see Iron Maiden play if that was an option. I really really like Hallowed Be Thy Name. We love a long song that caps off any album! This was the first album that I listened through all the way twice. Pretty cool, would definitely listen to this again in the future.

This was definitely an interesting one. I like the song "1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be). I didn't realize this is the album "All Along the Watchtower" is from. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NEWS TO ME THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A COVER OF A BOB DYLAN SONG! I THOUGHT THE SONG ~WAS~ HENDRIX! OH MY GOODNESS. wow. I see why everyone was on drugs. You had to be to listen to Voodoo Chile. I do love that the song is like 15 minutes long haha.

It was interesting... mostly felt like a drug trip that wouldn't end.

I mean..... this was FABULOUS! THE TEHCNICAL GUITAR SKILLS ALONE ON MAGGOT BRAIN, MY GOD. YOU KNOW WE LOVE A 10+ MIN SONG. Wow wowowow wowow.

It was good I mean, it’s quintessential and a classic for a reason. Very folksy. I definitely feel a lot of emotions when listening to this album. I feel like it’s very of the times.

I tell you, my face when I realized that Heart of Glass is 1). on this album, 2). a Blondie song. Overall, same with Rumors, this seems just like very of the times. I'm don't think there was a concept album here, seemed like a lot of songs that they just came up with, had the same sound, and put on an album. I mean, so many of the songs are just like absolutely seminal (One Way Or Another and Heart of Glass but I feel like there's other that I can't recall even though I have the track list pulled up).

It’s ok. Some of it was a little funky and had too many sound effects for my personal choice. Some of it was chiller and more trance like. I don’t know that I really gave the lyrics a listen but I also just didn’t really connect with this. I also felt a lot of existential dread while listening to this. I personally wouldn’t say that I felt warm and happy. I liked the keyboard sent stuff, but that’s about it.

Very different and interesting! I feel like of the albums I've listened to so far, this is probably the most technically beautiful album I've heard.

I mean, my god. Is there a more seminal, quintessential album that has ever been released. We start off with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" which instantly grabs you and sets the tone for the album. While I am personally sad that the best song on the album (arguably) is first and it's all downhill from here, I do standby their decision to kick the album off with it. We continue on into arguably the 2nd best banger on this album "In Bloom" which rocks me to my core every time I hear it. I mean I heard that Kurt Cobain thought all his music was bullshit and I feel like you really get that from this song. It is still epic and I appreciate it. The simple lyrics in all of these songs have a way of really conveying an overall feeling and a vibe with so little. Like you understand when you hear these songs that it was a revolutionary album. I spoke once to someone that was in high school during this time (I was 2) and they talked about how grunge was treated afterwards where it was essentially no longer to listen to because it was so mainstream. Then we get to "Come As You Are" I mean, MY GOD, THE BASSLINE. it's just so phenomenal and haunting. Just so haunting. I just really grove with everything on this album, the instruments and music choices, the lyrics, the overall vibe. It's just so fucking EMO. Breed and Pollys are both throwaways for me. Immediately bring the album down. I then literally space out until "Something In the Way" no matter how many times I try to pay attention to the passage of "Territorial Pissings" - "On A Plain" Lithium, again is just so untouchable. For the reasons I've previously listed and for what this album did to music as a whole, the industry, etc. I will be ranking it 5/5 although 1/2 of the album is throwaway. That's how redeeming these songs are.

This was a great album! I felt like the band members can play their instruments really technically well. They are very talented. I would certainly see Iron Maiden play if that was an option. I really really like Hallowed Be Thy Name. We love a long song that caps off any album! This was the first album that I listened through all the way twice. Pretty cool, would definitely listen to this again in the future.

I mean yea, that right there is some Lynyrd Skynyrd. "Simple Man" and "Free Bird" are just soo classic. I can see myself dancing in the bayou to this entire album. It's really light and breezy listening. I find myself spacing out and just feeling a light level of euphoria.

Just not really my bag at all. He's like a comic. Idk it's weird. Times have changed lol. I just personally didn't find this very thrilling. I don't like his raspy voice. Of all the albums I've listened to so far, this was absolutely the hardest for me to get through, sorry Tom. I just didn't really like anything about it, unfortunately. I honestly couldn't even listen to it all the way through. It was like nails on a chalkboard to me.

This was ok. I liked it. It was easy to listen to. But honestly really forgettable, unfortunately. It is what it is. Like 90's skate park rock pop. It's fine.

It is of the times. It's good. I just feel like it's all so innocent and I don't relate to it very much ahaha. Some of the songs were still relevant. I did enjoy listening to it.

It was good, I enjoyed it. The opening “Exp” was kind of weird haha. Overall it was very groovy and funky.

It's a little trippy, also giving 90's skate park vibes. Particularly enjoyed "The Rolling People." The last song was weird :(

This was definitely very... different. I had a fun time looking Bauhaus up and understanding the cultural relativity of what could have produced such an interesting band. They are named for an old German art school (so emo, so goth) and they formed in 1978 in Northhampton (wherever that is... Wikipedia links to England). This is their second album and Wikipedia states that "Their 1981 second album Mask expanded their sound by incorporating a wider variety of instruments—such as keyboards, saxophone and acoustic guitar—and experimenting with funk-inspired rhythms on tracks like "Kick in the Eye"." I can confirm they really expanded their sound. I would be curious to go back and listen to their first album which almost certainly has to be better than this. The Wikipedia page mentioned "Their 1979 debut single "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is considered one of the harbingers of gothic rock music and has been influential on contemporary goth culture," so I of course had to listen to that song. It was better than this album for sure.

I just didn't care for his voice or the topic of the songs.

Maybe or maybe not obviously but I am not very familiar with this language or culture. I did look it up and it looks like this is the soundtrack for a Bollywood movie. From the brief Wikipedia description, I would give it a watch. I'm curious if it is a musical or what is happening here. I was certainly not turned off by this album. I found listening to it quite pleasant and I was able to focus and get a lot of tedious work done and it didn't feel so bad. The mood was good. Again, I'd give this movie a watch. Seems fascinating!

The first song starts off very strong with "Straight Outta Compton" Ice Cube and the crew are just delightful. While this might seem very basic to me in 2025, I can see how revolutionary it was when it came out. I know that this album influenced a lot of the artists that I would go on to later enjoy. It's fun and interesting to see where the influence came from. Gosh Easy-E and Ice Cube? Insanity. I always thought that I didn't/wouldn't like this old 90's rap but this seems different from Biggie and 2Pac from the 90s. I notice this is slightly older, 1988. They just do a great job with the lyrics, the beats, and laying in other musical elements. It's not as elementary as I would have expected. Again, it just predates a lot of the rap I'm familiar with but I was thoroughly impressed with this album. Also, the amount of speaking was tasteful versus like the Nellyville album where there are a lot of skit tracks. It also has a full track list (17 songs) for a total run time of 1 hour and 16 minutes. Again, I am impressed ath the length, the quality of this album. It truly is a masterpiece. The energy really flows and maintains throughout the album.

I absolutely loved this album! It felt like a fun jam band. This type of music transcends time and space. I could see myself listening to this on a long drive from Chicago to Phoenix (or vice versa). Super fun.

Most of this was pretty good. I didn't love the song "Animals," it was kind of screechy to me. Most of it was fun, it was very energetic but just didn't really seem like it had much depth to it.

According to Wikipedia, this album is their 7th studio album which prompted me to go check out their discography and this is kind of smack in the middle of their musical journey. "Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 5 August 1966, accompanied by the double A-side single "Eleanor Rigby" / "Yellow Submarine"." Which was interesting to me that those two songs came pre the actual Yellow Submarine album. I grew up listening to a lot of their music through my dad but he didn't listen to as much as I realize that there is. We also liked the movies ("Help!" "Yellow Submarine" "A Hard Day's Night"). They're kind of like the original music influencers tehehehe. I liked this album a lot, it was a fun listen. I am now currently listening to their first album "Please Please Me" which is just so delightful. They're a great band with always fun instrumentals and lyrics. How can you be mad when you listen to the Beatles?

This was a fun one. I definitely feel like I am transported to Sao Paulo. It's very trippy and transcendental. It almost gives me a little air of Tame Impala plus like Brazil and other influences that I can't put my thumb on. I couldn't understand a word of it but I feel like I got the vibe.

Pretty classic Album! I am on my third listen-through! It's easy listening.

This was very 80's! I liked it a lot. Very Synth-y and somewhat gothic almost. Super easy to listen to. I definitely enjoyed this album but I really enjoy this sort of music.

Easy listening. I'm not sure I would necessarily choose to put this on but who knows. It definitely a vibe. The version that’s on Spotify had like four or five versions of “We Are Family” so I was just tired of it. I can see why it was so popular at the time.

Idk, I didn't really get it. Something about it was off-putting to me. The lyrics also seemed nonsensical haha. It was like weirdly preachy on how I should live my life. Like he is old so we trust his insight and knowledge but the insight and knowledge seemed tired. All the choral singing threw me off! It was weirdly positive. Maybe I am in a weird head space right now while listening to this but idk it's like a tad weirdly religious? Like life is good and light triumphs! Don't ya know, kids?! He's like weird, peppy Bob Ross. Actually, after the album ended Spotify just started playing similar music and queued up "Monday, Monday" by The Mamas & The Papas and I was like "Oh man this album is turning around!" and I went to look and it wasn't Cat Stevens. Hahahahahah.

I mean we start off with “Green River” which is a classic. It has so much energy and it just really gets you going! This band is just fun and you can’t help but feel like you want to go dancing on a river boat in the bayou. Like you can’t possibly have any cares in the world when you listen to this. The guitar is just amazing in this song. Very plucky. Stays with you. So much fun! I don’t know what they’re saying and I don’t care.

It's like ok. They were definitely visionaries and included a lot of fun musical elements and funky vibes but it just didn't resonate with me. I feel like some of the lyrics are too forced. Swore there was a ghost wailing during "Red Velvet".

This was definitely an interesting one. I like the song "1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be). I didn't realize this is the album "All Along the Watchtower" is from. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NEWS TO ME THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A COVER OF A BOB DYLAN SONG! I THOUGHT THE SONG ~WAS~ HENDRIX! OH MY GOODNESS. wow. I see why everyone was on drugs. You had to be to listen to Voodoo Chile. I do love that the song is like 15 minutes long haha.

I just don't find this particularly gripping. Specifically referring to "An Audience With The Pope." Yeah, I just finished the album and I didn't really "get" this album. Brits, man lol.

"Honky Tonk Masquerade" wasn't so bad! TBH country just isn't my thing but this was a very tolerable country album.

It was ok. Not my favorite.

I didn’t hate it but also only got half way through!

Interesting, different!

This was fun! A cool story. I about dropped whatever was in my hands when I was getting ready when they were talking about shooting that couple (at least that's what I thought they were talking about). I believe that was "Melody Rock."

It was ok

Not really for me. I just didn’t find it very grabbing.

This was good. Didnt finish though. Would though!

This was ok. It was giving Beatles vibes. The lyrics were intriguing. Not sure why didn’t hit with me.

Yup, this is quintessential Rush!

This was super fun! I really liked this one. Listened to it probably 3 times.

Reminds me of the black metal band they listen to in "Dark."

This was a fun album!

A little more folky in places than I would hope but who can ever be upset while listening to The Beatles? Also, they are such straight laced guys that I can believe that people didn't care about the subject matter of "doing it in the road" or "my finger on her trigger" lol. Like they somehow don't come off as super dirty and yet they are really dirty? Paradoxical, and yet it works! Really did NOT care for Revolution 9

This was fun! Fun to learn where “Beth” comes from. It was in Role Models. That movie was obsessed with Kiss so it was cool to see why.

This one was WEIRD. It was giving Forgetting Sarah Marshall's Rock of Love Vampire Musical vibes but not as good unfortunately. I just don't like his voice so it's a hard sell for me. I was somehow able to manage getting all the way through this. It was absolute trash in my opinion.

I feel like I am a better person for having listened to this. It's funky with some fun instrumental elements. I enjoyed the guitar and the fun beats. I like all their voices.

A little ethereal for my tastes but still good. I recognize the chicago song from “The Bear”

It was interesting... mostly felt like a drug trip that wouldn't end.

This was .... definitely Megadeath. The wikipedia was interesting.

This was nice, I can kind of picture Joshua Tree I suppose. Interesting

Definitely fun! I enjoyed this one a lot it’s engaging and has a lot to offer.

A little whiny for my taste. Overall better than initially expected. The album seems to get better as it goes on.

It's fun and nice and super pleasant to listen to.

I honestly like this more than I would have expected, I am surprised it doesn't have more accolades.

I mean, this is incredible. Very easy listening. Enjoyable.

I know where Leeds is!!!!! Lol. It was ok, seemed like a bunch of little boys making the most basic rock and roll ever. And like I get it, gotta pay respect to the first, that paved the way for others to follow. They walked so others could run. It's just a little bland because I'm used to more. like asking someone that's used to driving a new Tesla to drive a 1920's car. There will just simply be a distaste for the ancient, basic version of something. It's hard to get used to. Cultural relativity and all that.

This was like fine. I would like listening to this with my dad or by the beach.

This was ok. A little ethereal for my tastes. It was giving 80s

This was fun. I like the Scientist of course and there were a few others. Better than average for sure! LOL

I mean this is fine. I like black hole sun obviously. Everything else was meep.

I HATE his voice lol.

This was tight. I liked a lot about this. She has a real way about her, real ethereal and mystic. She has a fun voice that is engaging to listen to. Would listen to this again.

this was ~ok~ It's easy listening, I just probably wouldn't throw it on.

Let's fucking go!!!!!! I already know the song "Enjoy The Silence" so I am excited to give this a listen to.

This was ok.

This one is a classic, so many bangers on this album. But also it's so sad. Because it was in front of our faces the entire time with Chester.

Classic for a reason. I didn't know the song "My Michelle" and will have to bring that up to the Michelle I know. This album was ahead of its time and maintains its relevancy, energy, and overall vibes well into this century. I would enjoy having this on vinyl or something. I'm not sure how often I would listen to it though, even just on Spotify. You just can't be mad when this is on though. Another thing I enjoy about this album is that they are clearly very sexual but they're not like rape-y which unfortunately a lot of older bands and artists can appear as or just some things don't age. I don't find this overall cringey or anything.

Just not really my favorite. I don't love his voice (I clearly don't love raspy voices). It was ok.

This album is great! It did make me feel slight levels of dread though. I'm not sure why haha.

this was ok. Kinda whiny. Not my favorite.

This was ok. I didn’t finish it

Nice guitar. It was easy to lose myself in the album.

The Humpty Dance is arguably the worst song on the album! The other tracks are muchhh better. I liked this more than expected.

I love this. What a fun vibe. Very poetic. OMG Utah Carol 😭 why am I crying (I am legit crying and upset haha). I actively loved this album. This was such an engaging album!

This was great!!!! This band is like a heavier punkier version of the Beatles haha. Would definitely listen to this again.

This is definitely very ethereal and a trippy listen. I like the song Shani/Ashtangi. One of my yoga instructors, Frank, always says "Shanti Shanti Shanti" at the end of our classes.

This was ~ok~. It's just a little Indie for my tastes. There was randomly a girl on the last song? I don't even know if she was in any of the previous songs. I would probably like this more if I gave a good look at the lyrics but since I work while I listen to all of these albums, they're sometimes probably not getting a fair chance.

This was fun an easy listening. It gave Beatles vibes and Boston vibes.

This album was cool. I like it. I like the dark gothic rock. It's not what you're used to with The Clash, all that like repetitive choruses and bridges. Definitely a departure, definitely good.

I mean it's fucking Janis Joplin. How can you not like?

This was very intresting. Very folksy.

Obviously, I have mixed feelings on the artist. But if we are judging this without taking that into account, "Senorita" is obviously amazing. What a great song. And to start the album off with it. A provocative choice that I support. Let’s see how the rest of the album goes. "Like I Love You" is next. Another absolute heater. I thought "Take It From Here" was weird. “Cry Me A River”, Brittany NOOOOOO. She deserved better. “Nothing Else” sounds like elevator Muzak. I think the only reason I like some of this album is because of Timbaland, I'm pretty sure he produced a lot of this. I like a few of the tracks but overall, I would rate this middle of the road, 3/5.

I mean it's Siouxsie and The MF Banshees. Definitely a vibe, I like "Spellbound" and "Arabian Nights". I like their voices, I like the lyrics, I like the overall vibes. They are just a fun, cool band.

This was ~ok~ just kind of low energy.

This was a great ride! Haha. Very enjoyable. I like his voice, he's constantly referencing cocaine which is hilarious, and it's overall a fun vibe.

This was good.

A classic, not as good as I remember though.

I mean..... this was FABULOUS! THE TEHCNICAL GUITAR SKILLS ALONE ON MAGGOT BRAIN, MY GOD. YOU KNOW WE LOVE A 10+ MIN SONG. Wow wowowow wowow.

This was good, reminiscent of the Beatles a little bit. I think it was catchy and what not. Definitely more enjoyable than some of the albums I've heard while doing this.

WOAH. THIS IS AMAZING!!! Very catch and kind of emo but like not assumingly so.

I don't find the album per se to be overblown and pretentious but I do find people's reactions to this album to be overblown and pretentious. It's like ~fine~ in my humble opinion.

Hell yeahhhh let's gooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean this is just such a happy and fun album. How can you be upset when listening to the Mamas and the Papas?

This was either the worst or best thing I’ve ever heard but I’m not sure which.

I really gelled with this. I thought this was really trancey and ethereal without being overly produced.

This was great. I feel like there's a band that samples rifts from the song "Mannish Boy" like "Bad to the Bone" or something? Didn't like this as much as other Jazz albums but still fantastic.

This was ~ok~. It didn't really grab me.

This was interesting yet forgettable. It was like they walked so Depeche Mode and Flock of Seagulls could run, in my humble opinion.

I like this more than I expected!

This is typical Marley I feel like.

This needs to be on some sort of short album list to throw on just whenever. It’s so easy to listen to!

This was ok, average. Nothing crazy

This was a little ADHD and overwhelming for me. The song " 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore" was just really not for me. The brass and wind instruments were far too much. It's a little bizarre. "Where the fuck did Monday go?" Absolutely wild. A little too weird for my taste. And I thought I liked weird! This also had a vibe of nosferatu.

This was interesting! A mix of Kate Bush and something else
