I wish I liked them more but they’re just ok to me.

I might enjoy Mr Newman’s music during a panel discussion at the 92nd st Y, but I don’t ever need to listen to an album of his again.

Grower not a shower. The lyricism and musicality is uniquely her. Makes me miss the coziness of 90’s angst. She inspired a Nick Cave album ffs. She’s on the Mount Rushmore of cool.

I’ve never connected with U2’s music, no matter how catchy. This album is no different unfortunately. Happy to leave it behind.

Never knew how much I didn’t like the Police until now. Go figure. ‘Every Breath You Take’ is a banger.

Upbeat rhythms and a spunky sound, but lyrically it’s not that interesting. These bad boys might steal your daughter, but at least they’ll remove their flat caps when entering the house.

Unique and synthy sound. They created something original.

It’s a fine album I guess. Doesn’t really grab me, though I always thought their fans were cool. I prefer The Breeders.

I love this album. No one else sounds like the Talking Heads.

To learn that BB King has 15+ kids is no surprise after hearing this album. Baby making music ya’ll.

I used to listen to this stuff. Not sure why.

Pretty cool but a little same samey after a while

B B B B B BOSS

Craptastic

Early white boy blues rock. I’m not mad at it.

Uh huh huh yessssss dude https://youtu.be/UDCsVkqE1tQ?feature=shared

“Funeral” was game changing, but this is still fun.

Upbeat and fun with a heavy sound, Dookie might just be the shit.

I was really digging the album until “Bang a Gong” took me out of it. I struggled to recover.

I’m not usually a fan of collab albums but this one is amazing. John Lee Hooker makes feeling bad feel good. I could listen to his voice all day.

Early 90s Seattle bands make me all warm and fuzzy. Not the greatest album as a whole but I enjoyed it.

This album was played on repeat in Randy Van Gelder’s car. Randy used to drive me to high school in 9th grade. His Mazda had custom installed neon lights underneath the seats. While this album brings back a certain nostalgia from those times, it makes me appreciate that I never have to rely on a ride in that car again.

Nuclear war concept albums are neat. Not my favorite style wise, but it was a good train listen.

Unnnnnngghhh. Nasty Nas and 90’s hip hop FTW!

Yes please

Warning: This album causes ED

Some decent highs and corny lows.

Great album despite it being co-opted by Urban Outfitters and a certain kind of coffee shop.

Latin Portishead vibes.

Nick Cave all day

I love the idea is Sir Paul and MJ fighting over a woman

Kashmir and Down by the Seaside stand out for me. I’m sure they would have been great live.

First time listening to this album. So good!

Wow. Another first for me and me like.

Oof

Dude has Bowie voice! Interesting stuff. While there were some good tracks I don’t need the entire album.

Damn that’s beautiful

I liked it and I didn’t like it. Reviews can be hard.

They clearly played an important role in the musical timeline of my generation. Great listen.

There are musicians that can help me appreciate this genre more. Basement Jaxx ain’t one of them.

Legendary album. Respect to the MIB

This album, weed and headphones = perfect teenage cocktail.

Sacrebleu! This album has a certain je ne sais quoi but I shan’t spin it again.

Yes!! The Sonic Youth album accessible to non AP high schoolers

“If it’s not Scottish it’s crap!” - Mike Meyers, SNL

I wish I liked them more but they’re just ok to me.

One of the greatest bar bands around. Everything’s bigger in Texas including the sound these tres hombres make.

Prefer watching “24 Hour Party People” than listening to JD. Respect tho.

That first track! Liked this album much more than I thought I would.

When this came out I really enjoyed it. Doesn’t hit the same for me but such a distinctive mood. This is what an end of life album sounds like.

Sampling with no consequences. A classic!

One of the greats

Pass please

Front to back this album makes sense. What a vibe

Is this AI generated?

What a great voice. Some songs hit real nice and some are sappy sapperstein.

Longest punk album I ever done heard

If I were around in 1967 I’d have really appreciated the originality and fun of this album. But in 2025 so much of it feels dated and corny.

Sweet harmonies. I’m more of a Pet Sounds gal but I bopped to this too

‘Head over heels’ serves as a high water mark when I think of popular 80’s songs. 5 outta 5, a perfect tune.

When I was young and stoned and learning about music I listened to this often. Definite nostalgia vibes for an era I was never a part of, but still played a role in my musical journey.

Wagwan fam. Great energy, great flow.

‘Breaking the law’ is a tuuuuune!

Dick in a box is straight fire, son

Iconic album from one of the greats. No filler, it’s my favorite of theirs front to back. And such cool cover art to boot. To boot ☝🏼

More hits than a Mike Tyson fight

I really love this album. You wouldn’t want to play the second half at a party but it’s such good mood music. Bowie/Eno go together like PB&J.

3 legends making some beautiful music with this one. Those harmonies soar. I only wish the song selection and arrangements allowed for more upbeat ditties.

I mean c’mon

They were probably a lotta fun live back in the day

I’m so bored with the USA. Amen. I never explored The Clash in spite of every music nerd telling me I should. So many good tunes on this one. Lyrically and musically it is way more interesting than I thought it’d be. Guess I have to get into the Clash now.

Perfect summer album

I appreciate the sound but it’s boresville to these ears

This album had me grooving hard on the subway.

Decent background music maybe?

Hell yeah. Didn’t know the Temptations did grooves like that. Into it!

Not my favorite of his, but I haven’t met a Johnny Cash original or cover I didn’t like.

I bit the head off a bat this morning to honor his holiness. Tastes like chicken.

The moody, brooding vibe of this album comforts me in more ways than I care to admit. If “sadly hopeful rock for misanthropes” were a genre, this would be the gold standard.

✊🏼

Classic

Bluebird Wine is such a tune and a perfect album opener. Emmylou got that noice golden voice.

I might enjoy Mr Newman’s music during a panel discussion at the 92nd st Y, but I don’t ever need to listen to an album of his again.

Musical Yenius

Wow. Just wow

I miss Nirvana. I miss the ethos of the 90’s. But here we are. Kurt is gone, the Foo Fighters sell out stadiums and societal collapse is imminent. Pickle ball could be fun I guess.

Nothing really grabbed me here

I should like early prog rock but I find it kinda cheesy.

Fresh take on a vintage sound. Incredible the amount of sound just two instruments can make.

Interesting stuff here, but not for me.

It’s okay I guess

With that gritty sound and so many familiar covers, this would be a good late night bar album.

Lovely Lou

Opening track put me off, but the moody vibe of the second one pulled me in. The rest of the album is filled with sneaky grooves and warm melodies. There’s even a song about Big Muffs inspired by a convo with Lee Scratch Perry. What more could you ask for?

I love this fucker so much. Acoustic Dylan solo with a harmonica moves me to tears. Electric Dylan moves me to boogie. Coolest Jew I never knew.

“Call 1-800-PP5 1-Doo Doo, I’m in your corner.” Dr. Octagon is a homicidal, extraterrestrial, time-traveling gynecologist and surgeon. My old job! I would have loved this back in 96.

She got a purdy voice

Love me some Neil Young but this felt very vanilla.

Talented musicians and decent rhythms, but the melodies and lyrics are cornball.

I grooved hard to this. Wasn’t expecting that from the Sex Pistols.

Apparently I’m a Top 40 Queen fan. I appreciate what they’re doing on this album, but just give me the hits and hold the rest please. With all due respect…

Hearing this for the first time back in the 80’s must’ve been wiiiiiiiiiild.

Bloody Brilliant

How many interludes is too many interludes? Now I know.

Serenity now

A Sufjan album is too much Sufjan.

Pairs great with a NYC stroll

Beautiful voice

Such an amazing voice but the album felt pretty uneven to me.
