Revolver by Beatles
Feb 12 2025

Album sans intérêt particulier à mes oreilles excepté la chanson typique d’un bon pub ambiancé pour boire: « yellow submarine »

Harvest by Neil Young
Feb 13 2025

Album très calme, je n’ai pas perçu la poésie ni de rythme particulièrement sympa

The Score by Fugees
Feb 17 2025

Album vraiment sympa à écouter, mais oh la la combien de reprises de fu gee la, et à la fin j’en suis un peu las… et il ma doucement tué 😉l’envie de mettre une quatrième étoile

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Feb 18 2025

Belle découverte de cet album, très sympa à l’écoute mais un album somme toute assez classique, rien de particulièrement notable à mes oreilles

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Feb 19 2025

Album sympa, parfois des morceaux un peu mieux mais globalement rien de bien mémorable à mes oreilles Ni bon ni mauvais

Electric by The Cult
Feb 21 2025

Bon album de rock que j’ai apprécié écouter Un peu trop rock à mes oreilles d’où seulement 3 étoiles

Guero by Beck
Feb 24 2025

Album sympa à écouter en musique de fond… en ne l’écoutant pas vraiment, sinon c’est un peu ennuyant

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 25 2025

Album vraiment sympa à écouter dont le tube Last nite est un petit régal pour les oreilles mais pas qu’hier soir ;-)

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Feb 26 2025

Écoute très ennuyante, que fait cet album dans cette sélection ?

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 27 2025

Rien de bien particulier mais rien de catastrophique pour autant, c’est écoutable en musique de fond

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Feb 28 2025

Album très sympa à écouter, semble être très classique aujourd’hui mais devait sacrément être novateur à l’époque.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 03 2025

Bon album bien rythmé, j’ai bien aimé ce petit voyage dans le temps et dans la soûl Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de grands tubes dans cet album

The Doors by The Doors
Mar 04 2025

Un bon album avec 2 morceaux iconiques et devenus des classiques, par ailleurs une belle rythmique/poesie dans les morceaux dans cet album.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 05 2025

C’est sympa, ça donne bien British mais c’est très et trop répétitif… et lecoute en devient presque ennuyante

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 06 2025

Vraiment pas mon style,

Signing Off by UB40
Mar 07 2025

How to make reggae boring and at the end annoying…

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 10 2025

the album is so-so, and sometimes there are good rhythm & good vibes, but thanks to "bad moon rising" it reaches the 3rd star

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Mar 11 2025

Nice music, easy listening and what an atmosphere for this live in jail

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Mar 12 2025

in 2 words : so boring !

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Mar 13 2025

Quelques morceaux bien sympas mais l’album manque un peu de punch, ce petit manque lui fait rater la 3ème étoile de peu

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 17 2025

Perfect for a diner or an apéro time

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 18 2025

Reggae forever !! nice album but for sure not the best one of the King Bob Marley

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Mar 19 2025

When creativity meets melody and music ! Sounds so classic but also so innovative !

Mar 21 2025

Really nice album, good music and I realized that there a lot of Coldplay’s classic music that are on it 4 stars as I’m ready listening this album one more time

Fragile by Yes
Mar 24 2025

Nice Melodies and rythms

Moving Pictures by Rush
Mar 25 2025

Nothing particular but not really bad

Black Metal by Venom
Mar 26 2025

Definitely not my taste but I think that the music is not bad in its style

Apr 02 2025

I never liked Oasis so much and when I listen again to this album it does remind me few memories. It looks to me over rated. Some nice music but seems a bit repetitive.

Damaged by Black Flag
Apr 03 2025

What a nice album, what a melody.... no I'm kidding, absolutely not my taste. No interest at all

Apr 04 2025

It seems a bit conventional to me; it's as if their music inspired other artists... or they were inspired by others. But ultimately, the album is average... There aren't any major hits, and it's easy to forget. I had a good time listening to it, but I'm pretty sure I won't listen to it again.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Apr 07 2025

As soon as the music starts on this album, it's an amazing journey offered by Led Zeppelin to our hears with different styles. Really a pleasant album…. But I’m pretty sure that’s not the best one of Led Zeppelin (only 3 stars due to that )

Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 08 2025

Thanks to seven nation army , otherwise it was 2 stars …

Third by Portishead
Apr 09 2025

This is clearly Portishead style but it does not make me travel like the sounds of the previous albums. I did not like it as much as previous ones.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Apr 18 2025

It's not boring or repetitive, it's very boring and very repetitive. I listened carefully, but all the tracks sound the same, and 3 minutes would have been enough rather than boring me for 1 hour and 5 minutes...

21 by Adele
Apr 21 2025

What a voice, what an album, so many hits !!! but this album lacks a bit of energy, which would probably hurts the poetry of this album, to qualify for 5 stars. I already have listened many time this album with great pleasure... but I rediscovered that it also contains a few tracks that I had forgotten because they are not at the level of the album. It would be a small album, okay, but we are talking about a great album here. So I'll stick to 4 stars. Adèle, if you're reading this (the head I have writing this...), call me to improve on your next album and thus get the 5th star!!

Parachutes by Coldplay
Apr 28 2025

Nothing exciting in this album, this is very and too slow even for me. It's not bad either... It's on the edge of being boring...

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 29 2025

Many average tracks, but the few big hits are worth a 3-star rating for this album. Can't buy me love of a 4th star despite a hard day's night... ;-)

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Apr 30 2025

Ce n’est clairement pas ma came

Rubber Soul by Beatles
May 02 2025

The band made a lot of big hits and some album can easily be forgotten…. Which is the case of that album !

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
May 07 2025

The mix of influences (electronic, rap, hip hop, jazz) is sometimes of good quality but there are many loops and some melodies which are nice but they are immediately stopped/hashed... The album is a concept that I did not appreciate.

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 13 2025

This album starts so nice but the middle of it is so-so what justify not 5 stars and also from my point of view Michael did better album than this one !

Illmatic by Nas
May 15 2025

I already forgot this album, this album is yours ;-) and not mine

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
May 19 2025

I never really enjoyed Oasis. Listening again this album doesn't change my mind. It remains as a "definitely maybe" bad & not good either album

Moondance by Van Morrison
May 20 2025

This is an easy listening album… nothing special to remember

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
May 22 2025

Old album… I didn’t like it

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 02 2025

It’s how the dire straits became kind of sultans of their music style 😉I like this album but it’s no more that special to me, so only 3 stars

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jun 03 2025

Thanks to the world early rock’nroll tube tutti frutti, it earns 3 stars otherwise only 2. I’m pretty sure it was innovative but now its bit old, still is good I won’t listen it again except the all fruits song

Jun 04 2025

I never listened this album before and I enjoy it. The loops are nice with melodies and it's not yet "right here, right now" its best album. I am patient for the next album.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jun 06 2025

Mass production is really a nice track and worth itself 3 stars, album is average

Achtung Baby by U2
Jun 09 2025

This album is a mix of lot influences, sometimes in a good way, sometimes even better and sometimes I don’t like it. Thanks to « One » track, it deserves 4 stars otherwise I would just rate 3 stars. Nice sound, nice music , nice melody on some tracks but they did even better album than this one

Metallica by Metallica
Jun 10 2025

It sounds too rock for me, that’s not my glass of whisky… but I don’t agree with « nothing else matters », as the metal sound rock is not for me and I do matter about it. 2 stars thanks for the tube otherwise I would have ranked only 1 star

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Jun 12 2025

As every track of the album I will use one word to describe the album : boring. Nothing reluctant to listen but just so boring !

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

God only knows... why it wouldn't it be nice !! That's a major album that changes the world music... but it's a bit old now and some tracks are far below the excellence of some tracks That's why only 3 stars

Jun 17 2025

What a beautiful musical poetry that speaks to me ! This album clearly has a huge influence and Money is a major tube of that decade !

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 18 2025

You know you're not wrong... that was you failed to make a great album ;-) It's not bad... and it's not good either. Sometimes some good vibes... but too rarely on this album to deserve 3 stars

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jun 19 2025

Definitely not for me…. « Eh eh eh » … And no, you’re not the king !!

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jun 20 2025

It's a kind of soft folk music... nothing exciting for me and always wondering where is Luka ? not yet arrived, on the next album :-(

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 26 2025

That’s weird 3+3 does not mean a 6 but only 3 stars. Good average album but nothing better and nothing worst…

Nixon by Lambchop
Jun 27 2025

this album reveals itself little by little and i've come to regret that it's coming to an end. it really deserves its 3 stars.

Marquee Moon by Television
Jun 30 2025

in one word : tasteless. An album with no interest whatsoever, not that it's bad, but there's absolutely nothing special or memorable about it.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jul 01 2025

I really enjoyed listening to this jazz album, which has some great grooves, rhythms and melodies.

Infected by The The
Jul 02 2025

An ordinary album from the 80s and I don't hear anything memorable except that dated sound As you can understand, I didn't like it even if that doesn't make it a bad album

Play by Moby
Jul 03 2025

Let's play this album again and again. This album is a beautiful melody made of many styles that are mixed with talent and grace, in short modern poetry made of electro, hip hop, blues, soul, house... This album has undeniably had a lot of influences for a lot of other artists

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Jul 04 2025

When I first listen to the album, it changes me and reminds me a bit of what I listened to 20 years ago... Pretty soon, I get bored, always the same rhythm and tempo. In short, this album is a sort of endless loop...

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jul 07 2025

Maybe this album was a game changer at its time... but today it really seems classic and I didn't find anything particular at its listening.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jul 08 2025

I didn't fall in love or under the spell of this apparently legendary album.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Jul 09 2025

A bit repetitive and not my style

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Aug 08 2025

Nice jazzy album but it does not give me a "boom boom" mood

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 13 2025

Easy listening with good vibes, it’s not only « dreams » it’s all about that atmosphere and ambiance in their music

War by U2
Aug 14 2025

apart from a few songs ("Sunday bloody Sunday", "New Year's day") and the album photo which marked their era and have become timeless, this album is not the best of U2 and is quiet average... but luckily they did not "surrender"

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Aug 15 2025

There is something that I don't like while listening this album, I can't really express but a bad feeling. I don't realize also in which way it can have an influence on anyone... As it's not as bas as other album, I grant a 2 stars rating

Aug 19 2025

What a live party along with a great jazzy music !! I really enjoyed listening to this live and festive album

Aug 20 2025

1 beat loop album... Ok the beat is nice, 1 track would be fine but 1 whole album !!!! You understand well : i did not like it

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Aug 22 2025

I don’t have the feeling that it will become later one of the major worldwide rock band

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Aug 29 2025

Definitely not my taste, it’s not horrible either

Drunk by Thundercat
Sep 03 2025

A jumbled album like a tasteless failed cocktail What's it doing in this selection?

Sep 04 2025

This is really repetitive, annoying... I did not enjoy its listening except few tracks that can "PIMP" a bit my day

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Sep 05 2025

The listening makes me "sick'n tired"...

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 08 2025

It’s a reggae loop album and the only song that remains to me is the worldwide famous “ no woman no cry »

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Sep 09 2025

What a voice! You recognise the singer immediately, the King. That's the true strength of great singers. This is clearly not the best Elvis we know, very rocky and dynamic, but kind of a more mature and slower version like a crooner. Elvis can be tired at that time... he was issuing a studio album every 6 months! This album sounds a bit old, but it has aged pretty well.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 11 2025

I don’t like it and I have no interest for that album that was really annoying for me to listen to it

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Sep 12 2025

It sounds to me a bit familiar and outdated, good but not exceptional... It sounds like a good Plan B, but it's missing that certain something to make it a good album.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Sep 18 2025

It’s maybe famous for some reasons … but I didn’t find it at the listening. But it’s not bad => 2 stars

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Sep 19 2025

This album serves its purpose well as typical pop music aimed at teenagers. It's neither exceptionally bad nor remarkably good; rather, it falls into the category of average, somewhat annoying listening material with an R&B influence. While it merits more than 2 stars for not being terrible (not as bad), it barely justifies a 3-star rating due to its lack of standout qualities (not as good).

Sep 22 2025

I am very divided on this album which is very dated when listening (3 stars)... but many of the tracks covered by other artists have been global hits later on (it really deserves the 4th star). Regarding musical influence, just two words: "Respect & Satisfaction" Mr Redding

Sep 23 2025

This is a very original and very enjoyable album: it blends a lot of sounds and different atmospheres, but all in harmony, and I was surprised to find myself enjoying some of the tracks over time (7 to 10 minutes) but always with the same artistic quality. I'm hesitating between 3 and 4 stars because I'm not sure I'll listen to it again...

The Specials by The Specials
Sep 24 2025

The specials have a special music, a nice cocktail of reggae, rock, folk… which was a good mix. I’ve heard bad mix but that one was quite good but I’m not sure to listen again that album. I will stick to 3 stars for that reason

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Sep 25 2025

I never understood why Prince's music was so appreciated and acclaimed. I listened to this album and, yes, when it came out it must have been very innovative, but I didn't like it. It's not bad, it's just not my style

Live! by Fela Kuti
Sep 26 2025

It's a very beautiful live album full of energy and rhythms but it lacks lyrics! The drum duet of the last track is very nice and it's a great discovery of Afrobeat music

Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 30 2025

This becomes a classic and it’s in somehow my maximum of the rock that I do appreciate. Does Nirvana influence that period ?? Without any doubt ! It is a really good album and it really deserves its 4 stars … but it’s not a 5 star gem as well

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Oct 01 2025

It’s an easy but a bit annoying listening album. The voice is nice and clear … but it’s good if you want to fall asleep in a short time !! I did appreciate the feeling provided by the classic house of the rising sun

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Oct 02 2025

It starts really good, what a groove !! But after it's only an instrumental version and you do know the influence it has but sorry I won't go over 3 stars. A nice live version with good chorals may have reached a 4th and even the 5th star if it's was really excellent... but that's not the case => 3 stars

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Oct 03 2025

Easy listening, nothing bad but nothing to remember and already forgotten I don’t see any influence of that album in the music

Live At Leeds by The Who
Oct 06 2025

Good energy, but nothing crazy either, but WHO is it? ;-) I was a little disappointed I didn't have an "amazing journey" but maybe it's not for "my generation" .

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Oct 07 2025

It is clear that this album is a "so real" success and that I enjoyed several of its songs which have become classics. Jeff Buckley really knew how to reinvent the song "Hallelujah" with "Grace" ( ;-) )

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Oct 08 2025

Pfff between a sad memory, it was not a really good time boy ;-) and I’m not sure it’s make a rock & roll woman !!

Tommy by The Who
Oct 09 2025

A bit annoying, nothing particular, not bad either

xx by The xx
Oct 10 2025

A melancholic album, well-made... but without any particular flavor.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Oct 13 2025

Yes, it's undeniably outdated... but its influence on rock'n'roll is undeniable. This album was the first of its kind — a true pioneer that marked the beginning of a new musical era. Elvis, the King, will forever be etched in musical history. And for that reason alone, this album deserves 4 stars. Why not 5? Because despite its legacy, it's simply too dated for me to enjoy again. But giving it less than 4 stars would be a disservice to its cultural impact — and that’s something I can’t do.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Oct 14 2025

I didn't like this album at first, but the more I listened to it, the more I appreciated it. Over time, there's a certain musical poetry that emerges as you listen. It's strange; I was going to give it two stars, but in the end, it deserves its three.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Oct 16 2025

« No words » no comment Outdated, no influence…

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Oct 17 2025

A nice "anonymous" live album... Never heard of Peter Frampton before this listening, nor after I guess ;-) But I spend a nice time listening to this album

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Oct 20 2025

Thanks to Pulp Fiction and the classic “Son Of A Preacher Man”, it deserves 3 stars otherwise 2 stars will be enough for this another sweet album but without much interest

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Oct 21 2025

Outdated & nice & common album, nothing special for the listening Album almost already forgotten...

Brothers by The Black Keys
Oct 22 2025

Not good, not bad... i did forget many times that I already listened to this album That's clear: no big influence over me

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Oct 23 2025

With such poetic lyrics, masterful blues-rock guitar, and iconic tracks like 'Sultans of Swing', 'Money for Nothing', and 'Brothers in Arms', it's impossible for me not to give this album a solid 4-star rating.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Oct 24 2025

A truly great discovery! I really enjoyed listening to this album — so much that I feel like diving back into it and exploring more of this artist’s work. That alone makes it worth a solid 4 stars!

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Oct 27 2025

Thanks to a private dancer, a 3 star is granted … otherwise it’s not the very best album of Tina turner. It’s an old fashioned good listening album and we can hear in her voice that she faced a difficult life.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Oct 28 2025

« No surprise », this album stands out for its excellence and shaped its generation! This album brings at its listeners a good karma and also luck

Oct 29 2025

Listening to it, I thought, "Oh, another pop-rock album"... It's well-produced without being good, but I didn't remember anything about it because it lacks any particular flavor.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Nov 05 2025

You can definitely feel the weight of years on this album, but it's like fine wine, it has aged very well. For me, it's a discovery and I'm pleasantly surprised.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Nov 06 2025

I can hear that it could be good music, but it's clearly not what I like.

Rio by Duran Duran
Nov 11 2025

No émotion, no interest

Tapestry by Carole King
Nov 13 2025

A touch tiresome, nothing original… pleasant enough, but instantly forgettable.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Nov 14 2025

A surprising album where you can feel many diverse influences that ultimately blend together quite well. It made me want to follow this LCD soundsystem band to get to know them better.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 17 2025

I can hear that it could be good music, but it's clearly not what I like.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 18 2025

What a pleasant surprise this album is, it's been a long time! Yeah, I didn't know the band. Yeah, I like the rhythm and some of the melodies. Yeah, I want to listen to other albums by the band. Yeah, I'm really excited about its rating and I'm giving it a 4 out of 5! Yeahs !! ;-)

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Nov 19 2025

It's not my style, it has no influence on me, but I admit it's worth listening to once, but not twice.

GI by Germs
Nov 20 2025

I'm not revealing any secrets: this is ABSOLUTELY not my style. Clearly, this album will have no influence on me. I readily admit that I had a VERY hard time listening to it all the way through, even once.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 21 2025

It's nice, it's good background music... because it lacks a bit of personality.

Blur by Blur
Nov 25 2025

It's an album I only moderately enjoyed listening to; it's probably a bit too rock for my taste. I almost hesitated to give it a poor rating of 2 stars, but it deserves better. However, I readily acknowledge the presence of Blur's hits and that they have their own quite recognizable style.

White Ladder by David Gray
Nov 26 2025

I had a good time listening to this album, and it reminded me a bit of Rodriguez, whom I really appreciate. It deserves a solid 3 stars but isn't quite good enough for a 4-star.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Nov 27 2025

I must admit that I adore Leonard Cohen's voice, melody, atmosphere, and phrasing; they strike me as incredibly poetic... without even really looking for or listening to the lyrics. This whole album seems simple, almost stripped down, but it's so well arranged and crafted that I'll gladly listen to it again, and that's why I'm being generous with a 4-star rating.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 28 2025

I listened to this album and... I've completely forgotten it! Nothing exceptional, no personality either... nothing to dislike and unfortunately nothing to like!! In short, yet another album that shouldn't be on this list of 1001 albums; there are so many others that should be there instead.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 01 2025

It could have been a single instead of an album; that would have been a better rating for this album. The only song I liked... is the hit "Born in the USA," which has a special energy; the rest is forgettable and already forgotten.

The Bends by Radiohead
Dec 02 2025

It's undeniable that in this album—which I'm discovering for the first time now—I feel a particular ambiance, an atmosphere emanating from a mix of emotions made of melancholy, rage, sadness, hope, and sometimes even a touch of happiness, but this album is never boring! It's a bit too rock-oriented for me to fully appreciate the melody and the poetry. To my great surprise, there isn't a single track I recognize, and I don't know if I'll listen to this album again, which is why I'll stick to 3 stars.

Diamond Life by Sade
Dec 03 2025

Thanks to a tube and the voice of a "smooth operator", the rest of the album is just to be forgotten

In Utero by Nirvana
Dec 04 2025

Upon listening, one recognizes Nirvana's style, very angry, very raw... but not entirely devoid of a certain melody.

Slayed? by Slade
Dec 05 2025

It's a rock album that feels dated, but it's good rock that isn't too dated for my taste, so I enjoyed listening to it. However, it's nothing exceptional or particularly memorable.

Dec 08 2025

It's a fairly rhythmic album, and I must admit I enjoyed listening to it... without being too enthusiastic. The worldwide hit "Everybody Hurts" is quite unique on this album, but it has such poetry, such a beautiful melody, that I'm almost tempted to give it 4 stars... and that's exactly what I'm doing!

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Dec 09 2025

I'd never listened to Deep Purple before, but I must admit I really enjoyed listening to this rock album.

Be by Common
Dec 11 2025

"It's your world" ... I fully agree ! but that's not the music I like listening to

Eagles by Eagles
Dec 19 2025

This album is a beautiful evolution with the first pieces that really lack personality and the end of the album is really very creative, flamboyant with this mixture of rock, lyricism, opera and innovation that make the instruments participate in the melody. Who could have imagined a god save the queen so melodious while being so rock and modern. Don’t forget the epic tube “bohemian rhapsody” which is the master piece of creativity and melody. On any album, it gives a 5 star despite some really average tracks !

Murmur by R.E.M.
Dec 25 2025

I'm not a big R.E.M. fan, but I readily admit they have a recognizable sound and voice... but I didn't hear anything particularly memorable on this album.

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 29 2025

Encore un album de Bowie, oui c'est un grand artiste... mais de là à en avoir toutes les semaines....

Horses by Patti Smith
Jan 07 2026

This album bored me and I didn't understand anything about why it was included in the 1001 albums to listen to...

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 12 2026

What creativity, what richness, what melodies!! Even though the album is old, Prince was undeniably a pioneer and an accomplished musician. I enjoyed listening to this album without falling in love with it, and it's one I probably won't listen to again, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars.

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 13 2026

j'ai été transporté sur les routes de Portishead par la poésie et de l'émotion qui se dégagent de leur musique electro-jazzy- blues.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jan 14 2026

This album is too rock for me and it lacks a few melodious tracks to get a 4th star

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jan 19 2026

This album is somewhat poetic but didn't move me, to say the least, it bored me a little, and it was when I started to appreciate David Bowie's music... that was when Spotify continued with another album

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jan 29 2026

I discovered this album, which is a real "Pearl", and I also discovered Janis Joplin and her tragic life. What a voice! If you have only 3 min available, just listen to "Cry baby". In this album, I was surprised to recognize many musical excerpts I've heard countless times, and I had no idea Janis Joplin was the source. Sadly, she's one of the 27 Club.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Feb 02 2026

What a great album that I'm rediscovering entirely! You can hear all the rock and a certain energy that I really appreciated while listening, and I find myself hesitating between 3 and 4 stars. But it's not an album I'll naturally listen to again, which is my criterion for awarding the 4th star, so I'll stick with 3.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 03 2026

It's a very good album with beautiful, captivating melodies, although not all the tracks are equal and some are even a little boring.

Feb 04 2026

0% influence on me 100% boredom But what on earth is this album doing in this selection?? Maybe the band's name, ABC, is meant to make them easy to remember... apparently it failed.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Feb 06 2026

This album is essentially the blueprint for electronic music; it was way ahead of its time and had a massive influence on today’s scene. Even though it has aged well, I still wouldn't recommend it to a friend—it feels too dated and honestly doesn't offer much of interest by today's standards. There’s much better out there now... though certainly much worse, too. For its huge influence and avant-garde spirit, I’m giving it a very well-deserved 3 stars.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Feb 09 2026

J'ai passé un bon moment à l'écoute mais 2h c'est vraiment trop long... J'aime bien le jazz et on sent une bonne ambiance dans le groupe et de bonnes vibes mais je ne réécouterai pas cet album pour autant.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Feb 10 2026

Jamais entendu parler de cette famille mais quelle belle surprise ! On ressent un vrai mélange de plusieurs influences et ça donne un objet sonore étonnant de modernité, un peu classique aujourd'hui, mais qu'est ce que ça devait être en 1969 !! Le morceau "Sex Machine" de 13 min est vraiment très sympa Peut être que je réécouterai cet album et ça lui donnerait une bonne raison d'avoir un 4 étoiles

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Feb 11 2026

Non mais franchement, j'ai du me trompé de liste !! Je me demande bien l'influence qu'a bien pu avoir cet album... en tout cas, direct aux oubliettes en ce qui me concerne

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Feb 16 2026

J'ai bien apprécié l'écoute de cet album, sans doute la 1ère fois pour moi et je trouve que c'est un classique et je m'enflamme avec un 4 étoiles !

Feb 20 2026

Mais quel album électro ! On ressent de la Dance, de la techno, des beats typés house et parfois un peu de métal. C'est brut et malgré les années ça n'a pas vieilli et cela reste moderne. Une belle découverte pour moi même si je connaissais certains morceaux mais je n'avais jamais écouté l'album entièrement. J'aime bien... mais je ne suis pas fan et je ne réécouterai pas cet album, je m'en tiendrai donc à 3 étoiles.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Feb 23 2026

Rien d’exceptionnel ni rien de mémorable mais rien de bien mauvais non plus

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 03 2026

Il ne faut pas se mentir, l'album a mal vieilli excepté le début qui démarre excellement. Début = 5 étoiles et j'ai presqu'envie de le prendre au mot "don't stop 'til you get enough"... mais voilà après rock with me, je donnerai un bon 2/3 étoiles.... Et l'album semble trop long. Bref, je m'en tiens à 3 étoiles !

With The Beatles by Beatles
Apr 15 2026

Album sans aucun intérêt... écouté et déjà oublié !

Back In Black by AC/DC
Apr 21 2026

Je ne suis pas fan de metal ni d'AC/DC (quelle surprise me diront certains) mais il faut reconnaître que c'est un bon album bien construit, avec des "mélodies" et à ma grande surprise je lui décerne 4 étoiles

Apr 27 2026

J’hésite à mettre 5 étoiles car les 3 premiers morceaux sont d’anthologie alors que le reste de l’album l’est moins… mais je suis d’humeur généreuse aujourd’hui !

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
May 07 2026

Franchement un bon album mais pas si excellent que cela, il a su mieux faire par la suite, donc je m'en tiens à 3 étoiles

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
May 11 2026

C'est un bon album avec une belle voix sincère que j'aime bien écouter de temps à autres qui mériterait presque 4 étoiles... mais il manque un petit je ne sais quoi qui fait que cet album me plait vraiment. Je lui mettrai donc un 3.6 => arrondi a 4, car c'est tout de même bien meilleur que plein d'albums à qui j'ai mis 3 et également moins bien que d'autres à qui j'ai mis 4 étoiles. Mais est ce qu'on parle de révolution ? :-)

Sea Change by Beck
May 18 2026

en 2 mots : terriblement ennuyant, hors de cette liste !

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
May 22 2026

Je n'ai pas compris l'album qui -disons le poliment- est expérimental avec une bande de copains bourrés qui s'essayent à la musique... mais quelle voix !!! Par sympathie je lui donne 2 étoiles

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jun 02 2026

Franchement un bon son, devenu un classique et je me surprends moi même à hésiter entre un 4 et un 5. J'ai réécouter l'album et il mérite bien ses 5 étoiles même si ce n'est pas mon style de musique préféré !

The Man Who by Travis
Jun 03 2026

Doux, calme, un peu mélodieux... mais il manque de l'énergie et je m'endors

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jun 08 2026

Je me suis infligé cette écoute mais au secours !! Je crois que mes oreilles ont saigné et je n'ai en rien saisi la beauté de cet album

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jun 10 2026

Je ne suis pas nostalgique de ces années là et la musique est très datée. Bref, aussi vite écouté qu'oublié ! Je mets 2 étoiles car ce n'est pas inaudible comme certains albums récemment écoutés

Debut by Björk
Jun 15 2026

Ce n’est qu’un début … mais quel démarrage !!! Au delà de l’innovation de faire de l’électro pop il y a la créativité, la mélodie, la beauté et la belle voix de Björk !

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jun 22 2026

Cela ne sera pas pour le travail sur la tracklist qui est assez simple : 2 morceaux de 20 mins, mais quel moment de calme et de poésie ! Je ne mets que 4 étoiles car ce n’est pas un album iconique mais j’ai beaucoup apprécié son écoute !

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Jun 25 2026

Nous avons en musique des belles mélodies et de la poésie (ce qui manque à beaucoup d’albums) mais aussi de l’innovation en apportant de l’électro au tango ! C’était novateur et cela a créé des tendances. Ok l’album ne vaut pas totalement 4 étoiles mais il les mérite !! Et si dans la sélection on pouvait avoir plus de poésie et d’originalité comme cet album cela sera apprécié :-)
