Makes a mockery of the genre despite how well it did commercially. Cringy.

Meat Loaf
3/5
First time listening to the full album. Meatloaf has never really been my thing but I did enjoy it.
Radiohead
4/5
I still prefer OK Computer but this is a nice album to have on in the background
Radiohead
4/5
Similar to Kid A but I like this one a bit better.
The Cure
3/5
I’ve never been a big fan of The Cure but this album is nice musically. A little bit of a downer but still decent.
Deep Purple
3/5
Decent album.
A Tribe Called Quest
5/5
A classic album.
Christina Aguilera
4/5
This type of artist isn’t usually my cup of tea but I am really impressed with her voice.
Elvis Presley
4/5
Well before my time but some good classic music before he was over the top.
The Charlatans
4/5
I knew of them but wasn’t too familiar with their music. I was impressed and found the variety of styles on the album a treat.
Kate Bush
4/5
I wasn’t too familiar with this album other than the main single but as a fan of Tori Amos I can see how Kate Bush was an influence. I enjoyed the listen.
Metallica
4/5
Great album but the one drawback is that at times some songs sound too similar. Love One and Harvester of Sorrow.
The Thrills
4/5
I wasn’t familiar with the Thrills at all but was pleasantly surprised. A nice pop rock album.
Frank Ocean
4/5
A unique sound.
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
A great album. While I enjoy Clarence Clemons and the horns I find it a bit too horn heavy…that is all keeping it back from a 5 star.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Solid album.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
A solid album from a music legend.
Leonard Cohen
4/5
While his voice is rather unique the songwriting is fantastic. A true Canadian national treasure.
Animal Collective
4/5
I didn’t know a whole lot about them but quite enjoyed the album. It was a nice combination of pop and experimental music
Afrika Bambaataa
4/5
Good album. Probably would normally rate it a 3 but it’s importance to hip-hop history jumps it up to a 4
Oasis
3/5
A good album but I find it a bit overrated. I don’t feel the whole album is as strong as others.
Leonard Cohen
4/5
A great debut album from a songwriting legend. A couple of duds but all in all an impressive album.
The Young Rascals
4/5
Not an artist I was familiar with (other than the name) but it was a nice pop record.
Beck
4/5
I always enjoy Beck albums. They keep you on your toes with the varying styles.
Elvis Costello
4/5
Initially, I didn’t like it as much as other Elvis Costello albums but the more I listened the more I liked it.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Good album. I’m not a huge Rolling Stones fan so this almost slipped to a 3 but there were enough impressive songs to push it to 4
Radiohead
5/5
Awesome album start to finish.
Black Sabbath
3/5
Good album but I found the songs sounded similar in many cases dropping it to a 3
The Pogues
5/5
A classic.
Not their best album but a well balanced album you can listen to from start to finish. A rare feat in albums made in the 2000’s.
The Offspring
5/5
I can listen to this start to finish any day.
Elliott Smith
4/5
Exceptional songwriter

5/5
Not often all songs are all so memorable even to this day.
The Byrds
3/5
This one is a bit all over the map.
Malcolm McLaren
4/5
Eclectically good.
Kanye West
4/5
Some very good tracks but a few duds hold it back from a 5 star review. Also hard to give a 5 and separate the toxic personality from the talent.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
4/5
Strong album
Stephen Stills
4/5
A solid album.
PJ Harvey
4/5
A big fan of later PJ Harvey albums. I wasn’t as familiar with this one but it was a great listen.

Public Enemy
5/5
Classic
4/5
Solid album. Not quite memorable enough start to finish to earn the full 5 stars.

3/5
I had never even heard of the artist. A nice experimental instrumental album.

4/5

Beck
5/5

3/5
A good album but a bit too arty for my liking.

Prince is an exceptional musician and while I appreciated the music the lyrics kept me from giving it a 5.
Van Morrison
4/5
I hadn’t realized how much of this album I knew.
Neil Young
4/5
Walk On is one of my favourite Neil Young songs.
Slipknot
3/5
I appreciate the music but have never really been onboard with the screaming type of singing. That keeps it at a 3 for me.
Neil Young
4/5
Not my favourite Neil album but it is solid.
Beyoncé
4/5
I’ve always enjoyed Beyoncé despite pop not really being my go to. I enjoyed this album but not enough of the songs were memorable enough to merit a 5 star.
The Prodigy
5/5
I had forgotten how much I enjoy this album.

Not a favourite by any means. I get the experimental part of it but it doesn’t do anything for me.

4/5
A great album and a great live show.

Good album start to finish. Not an album I knew much about but was impressed.

An enjoyable album from start to finish.
Lorde
4/5
Good pop album
Method Man
4/5
Classic…not as good as full Wu-Tang albums but still great.

5/5
Groundbreaking album I still listen to frequently. There is “something in the way” this sounds….
Gene Clark
3/5
Not my normal style but I appreciated the songwriting.
Frank Sinatra
4/5
Lots of great songs on here. I do find some of the songs start to sound repetitive though which keeps it from a 5.
The White Stripes
5/5
Anything with Jack White is pure gold.
ZZ Top
4/5
Boogie-rock classic

4/5

4/5
Elvis Costello albums are always a treat.
Dwight Yoakam
3/5

The Pogues
5/5
Just awesome
