Am familiar with most of the hits here, but never listened through this album until now. I honestly assumed some of these tracks would have been spread out over more albums because there's so many bangers.

This was an easy one. Probably my favorite Radiohead album, and it's already in the rotation of records I return to with some regularity. I once heard it described as "Radiohead Paint by Numbers" but that just sounds like sour grapes. Every damn song is a banger and that 1-2 punch of Reckoner to House of Cards is *chef's kiss*.

Big fan of Thin Lizzy already and I've listened to this album a few times before. Their talent is on full display here, and I feel that if they didn't have such shit luck every time they tried to tour the States, they might've been even more successful. Alas... RIP Phil

Plenty familiar with the radio-hits from listening to the Oldies station growing up, but never listened to a full album of theirs. It's good! Just a nice American folk album with great harmonies. I'm also pleasantly surprised that I'm just learning that the strings sample in Jens Lekman's "Maple Leaves" is from "Do You Wanna Dance" Always thought it would have come from a more obscure song from the era.

Only Pogues album I'd listened to before was Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash, though I've listened to Fairytale of New York plenty before, and this one just reinforced my existing opinion: The Pogues have some really good tunes, but their albums are pretty uneven. Shane MacGowan was a very talented songwriter but every time I hear this band I'm reminded of how fucking nasty his teeth are. I really only listen to them around St. Paddy's day, so good timing for this to show up in my album generator.

Another Radiohead? Alright that's fine. This one I actually listened to a lot at the time (I have vivid memories of listening to it while playing way too much Civ III when I should have been doing high school homework). Not one I come back to all that often anymore though; it really does come off as a bunch of leftovers from the Kid A sessions which I believe it more or less is. Funny thing is that I didn't really listen to Kid A until years later, go figure. Still like that one better though this is just fine though a bit uneven.

So it's been my intention to get more familiar with David Bowie's discography and I thought I had covered this one, but after checking my last.fm history, I guess not? Very sad about that because this is easily one of my favorites of his now. Love that transitory place it has between his earlier, funkier stuff and the krautrock he was about to explore more fully later on. Very happy to get to know this one.

I've tried to get into this album in the past due to its high praise and it still just does not do it for me. Aside from a couple of tracks that I DO love (Wouldn't It Be Nice & God Only Knows) most of the songs are way too cloying for me to really enjoy. I get that the production and song writing are a big leap for the band compared to their earlier work but the songs just aren't there for me, sorry Brian.

I'm a passing Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan and my favorite album is still probably Fever to Tell, even though I can admit that this one is more "mature" and sonically complex. Always been a fan of the track Hysteric and I like Heads Will Roll just fine. Checking my last.fm history, despite having listens from this album going back to the beginning of my account in 2010, I never actually listened to this all the way through until last year. Before that it was pretty much just the two tracks I noted above. Kind of rambling, but I guess my point is that even if other tracks don't quite reach the heights of those two, I probably should have given it a chance sooner as the whole thing is quite good!

More of a What's Going On fan, but you can't beat Let's Get It On for sexy mood music.

I feel like I need to actually watch the movie to fully understand this album, but there are so many great songs on here.

Smooth and groovin'

My god this album slaps. Timeless, good time party music.

Already one of my favorite albums, though I kinda missed it when it first came out, it doesn't take much to get me to listen to this one again. All My Friends is one of my top, all-time songs..

Like a lot of people my age, these songs remind me of my mom. Very nice tunes that I thought FOR SURE some of were covers, but nope, she wrote all of them (even if they were originally released by another artist). It's kind of crazy how ubiquitous some of these songs are STILL.

First pre-YHF album of Wilco's I've listened to. It's solid. Wilco is one of those bands that I think is very solid but I don't listen to often.

First album here where listening to it felt like homework. I'm not opposed to West African guitar music, I really like the music of Ali Farka Toure, but this was very boring and the singing was very high-pitched and fatiguing. I'm just over half-way through and I might have to bail...

Liked it better than I expected. Some real "not bad" moments.

Went in thinking I wasn't really in the mood for Aretha Franklin but then listened to 'Aretha Now' right after this one.

Never a huge fan of Eminem's music, though I recognize his obvious talent. It was always just too acerbic for my taste. Like, I'm glad he's out there doing his thing and I can understand where his rage came from. I guess I just never had that same resentment for people (and especially women) that he did in order to really connect with this material. Glad he seems to have chilled out later in life.

I like some of their tunes but overall The White Stripes never did it for me and that streak continues here.

This man is so horny. Great crooning.

This shit sucks so hard.

This was one of my first CDs so already very familiar with the album. It's nice to go back to it though it was a whole different media world at the time. I do wonder what it would have been like if Kurt were still around, but I feel like this world would have chewed him up and spit him out in some other way.

I still prefer mid to late era Beatles, but this is still fun.

Not really my thing BUT by the end of this I was ready to drink too much whisky, cheat at cards, and get into a bar fight. I was afraid that it was just going to be some generic butt-rock but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. The Black Crowes was a band name I was familiar with but never really listened to their music before, so this is exactly why I'm going through this little listening project.

As a kid, whenever the video for Sabotage came on MTV I would BLAST the volume as high as it could go, past the point where the shitty speakers on the 18" CRT I was watching on could handle without distorting. That song still pumps me up like few others. Even still, I'm not sure I've listened to the album in full until today. I love how varied it is stylistically. Great shit and a great palate cleanser after trying to listen to Peggy Suicide.
