Loved this one. A jazz classic.

Confession that I did not make it through this one. Not feeling it.

Forgot how much I liked U2 (basic 4 lyfe)

Meh. It was fine.

Fun listen, enjoyed this

So much U2 in one week. Did Bono create this website?

Liked it more than I expected to

what a weekend. turns out I don't hate ambient experimental German music

This was devastating and I loved it.

Between a four and a five

LET THE CHILDREN BOOGIE

uh no thanks

Wasn’t familiar with this but enjoyed

Fun, enjoyed this one

I'd never heard of this artist before but really enjoyed

All kind of sounded the same to me

Not for me

Laser tag

no thanks

Fun to get a live album

Iconic debut

New to me--really enjoyed

Excited to get this one

Might be sacrilegious but not feeling this one

30 years later and I still have the time to listen to them whine

Undeniable

easy listening. a lot of harmonica...

fist bump explosion american flag

six stars if I could

Surprised by how much I enjoyed this one

Bonus point for 'I Believe in a Thing Called Love'

Did not get far

Great Friday vibes

So good

OH BABY BABY

Not feeling it this day, but probably would have rated it higher another time

Did not get far

Interesting to hear an 80s album that sounds like it’s out of the 60s.

Bonus point for Sweet Child of Mine. Great hits on this and then everything in between sounded kind of the same

Maybe the best use of strings in a pop song

I can appreciate that this is a very good heavy metal album…but I really don’t enjoy listening to heavy metal

Loved this one

Sounded so much like the garbage album

Expected to like this more than I actually did

Liked this more than I thought I would

Good rainy day pick

Not enjoyable for me, other than the songs I already knew

0 points for Kanye and 0 points for the misogyny…but listening to this just for the music it was almost a 5 for me

Classic 80s

Really 1.5… I made it through the album and parts were pretty. And then there was the caveman grunting parts…

I’ve learned through this project that I can’t stand techno/EDM

Liked this more than expected! Rip ozzie

As an austinite, I am legally obligated to give any Willie Nelson album 5 stars. Loved this one!

Never heard of this album or artist but enjoyed it! Wild lyrics

Great start to the week

Almost docked a star for being too long, but when it ended I wanted to hear it again

Not bad background music at work, but wouldn’t listen to this otherwise

Full disclosure didn’t listen to the full album…but I made it halfway through and plan to finish. Generally liked it more than the other instrumental albums we’ve had

Just incredible

I can see why this was critically acclaimed but I did not enjoy listening.

Fun listen

It was nice background music but very creepy story (but I don’t speak French so…)

Soooo long. This was no rumors!

Weird album but I was into it

It was sooooo long and I did the 2 hr version not the 5 (!!!!)

Better than some other ambient European electronic albums we have had…but that’s a low bar for me

IF YOURE LOST YOU CAN LOOK AND YOU WILL FIND ME

Not my favorite Bowie album

Loved the first five and then it fell off for me.

Fun one to end the weekend

Not familiar with this album but really liked it. Planning to revisit.

No thanks

El Paso!

Such a downer. Did not enjoy.

Stunningly so good

Not for me

I recognize it’s a good album but did not personally enjoy

I have a soft spot for albums where older artists sing about their mortality…and this time I was ready for Tom Waits voice!

Very fun. Nostalgia bonus point

I only know The Bee Gees from disco, so interesting to hear their work from the 60s

This was a very fun, quirky listen

Incredible story

3.5 enjoyed the first half more than the second

Third Smiths album (of 3 on the list). My favorite of the 3

The Weight is such a classic

Fun and different

A classic

I don’t usually like the ambient/electronic albums but I really enjoyed this

0 stars for Kanye the person

I am not the target demographic for this album…but I made it through so I’ll give it 2 stars.

I’ve never listened to this as an album—Dear Mama is stunning in context

Hardest part of listening to this album is that I just want to hear Hello on repeat

3.5 for me

A little too renaissance faire for me

Loved this

3.5 liked this more than I expected to

2.5

Very fun

Enjoyed listening to this while washing dishes

Flora said tiny dancer was the worst thing she’d ever heard.

RIP Bowie. Lifetime achievement stars.

Nostalgia bonus points

Meh

13 stars

Noisy

Enjoyed a lot than I expected.

This didn’t hold up very well for me

Nice vibes but pretty forgettable

Somehow this hit the right vibe for the day

3.5. Lovely and very appropriate for the Icelandic weather we have.

Never heard of this but really enjoyed

First three songs were fire

Better than tubular bells

Pure pop fun

5 stars for the transition from “without you” to “coconut”

A classic

My 365th album!

Very weird. Enjoyed!

This was so hard to rate for me. Some of these are bangers- cry me a river gets 10 stars. The second half of this album gets 2 stars, the first half gets 5 stars

Good background music

Strange but I think I liked it?

This was very odd but I really enjoyed. Plus great band name.

More country, less punk and EDM!

Thought I’d like this way more than I did

Between 3 and 4 for me

Liked it more than I thought I would

Love some sad country

A national treasure

This was a big start to a Tuesday morning.

Their voices together are magic

No skips

Maybe 3.5 for me…really liked the singles off this album but I prefer 80s Madonna.

Turns out I love Steely Dan

God save strawberry jam

Big nostalgia bump

Very weird

Standing in the doorway and make you feel my love are all timers
