Bob Dylan is terrible. How does a guy with a voice like that become such a 'legend'? This album was a painful listen.

A solid listen. Recognized more than I thought I would. Sounds really good for a live album. Would be a good pick up on vinyl. I'll rank it a 5, even though it's not really my taste of music.

Woof. This album is a mood. My personal take is that it was a terrible, painful listen. It made me irrationally angry. I don't get this style of music. It's like Björk meets Radiohead in all the wrong ways. At times it's just noise. At best it's a dramatic movie score. Did I need to hear this before I died? Absolutely not. But, was it at least an interesting and horizon-broadening experience? Also no.

It's CCR - you get what you'd expect. I don't care much for it, though.

This is a good record. Steely Dan in general is a little weird, but this album is heralded as one of the most immaculately produced albums. It sounds great.

This was a fun listen.

I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I'm not a fan of rap or hip-hop, in particular from this era, but this album has a laid back almost trip-hop vibe that appealed to me. It's a very well put together album that sounds great. I particularly enjoyed the last, essentially instrumental, track, Acetate Prophets. Though not really my taste in music, I recognize this as a great album and I'll give it 5 stars.

I have this album on vinyl. It's a good listen. The hits from this album cannot be denied. They hit you with an infectious groove right from the start, and it delivers consistently throughout the album

This was interesting, for like, two songs. It was like, what the hell is folk/punk?! Punk is the antithesis of folk. Oh. OK. So, that's Irish folk/punk. Ok. I get it. And I'm done with it. I guess I needed to hear that before I died so that I knew that there was such a thing as Irish folk/punk? I guess? But, like, how is that useful knowledge? I dunno. This album leaves me with more questions than answers. Actually, no. I have no further questions. I have zero desire to hear this again. Ever.

Meh. Not my jam. Not terrible. Not great.

Not good. Musically mediocre, but vocally painful.

A fine album.

Fantastic!

Meh.

This list has made me realize I really don't like Bob Dylan. He's just painful to listen to. The story behind this record, that is to say this concert, is interesting - but not really. Not enough to warrant me having to listen to it. Also, the album wasn't available on my streaming service, so I had to listen on YouTube, where all the banter and heckling between songs was apparently removed. If that's why this album is a must listen, then I am disappointed. Not in that I didn't hear it, but in why it's on this list. I think maybe I need to try listening to covers of Bob Dylan songs to maybe appreciate the songs more, because, damn, Bob Dylan is awful to listen to sing. When Jimmy Fallon does his Bob Dylan impression, it's no parody; it's a genuine and faithful imitation. Bob Dylan is a parody of himself. I'm going to skip any more Bob Dylan records on this list. Two strikes and you're out. I'm not coming back for a third.

Not my jam.

Quite the jam album. Didn't really hold my interest.

Not really my jam, but I can appreciate the quality of this album. Very well done.

I don't get The Who. Most of the songs on this album sound like something off a kids album - happy bouncy silly simple songs about strange characters. There's a concept to this album where fake radio jingles are interspersed among the songs... They're typically very short jingles at the end of a track, but then there's Odorono and Medac, which are either really long fake jingles that's are really long buildups for a dumb punchline, or they're just silly The Who songs with really long buildups for a dumb punchline. No, I did not care for this album at all.

Meh.

This album was kinda odd. Not bad, though. The "rough cut" tracks (studio banter before and after the songs are included) were kinda interesting, but it detracts from the appeal of repeat listens. I will probably give this another listen sometime.

It's jazz.

It's Bruce. Bruce isn't good.

Art pop. It's like an avant garde fashion show for your ears - interesting for a minute or two, and completely impractical for every day wear.

Not a bad album. Not a particularly interesting or captivating one, but decent.

Wow. That was weird.

It's jazz. Live jazz.

Who hurt you, Joni?

Well. This album has songs titled "I'll Call B4 I Cum" and "We Luv Deez Hoez" and the lyric "Lick my blunts and spit, like she do my dick, attempted murder dick, for ways I choke chicks, spit it in her eye make it hard to focus." just to select a few standouts.

This was interesting. The songs I was familiar with are good, but I was kind of surprised how "bad" the other tracks are. It's a weird record. I'll probably have to give it another try sometime.

Decent album. Will have to listen to again... Assuming I ever find myself in a situation where I would choose to listen to The Muse...

Classic Lynyrd.

This album was a pleasant surprise. I was familiar with the songs everyone's heard, and could say that Eleanor Rigby was my favorite Beatles track, but had never given a full Beatles album a listen. This was a good album. Interesting.

Not my jam. I tried to give it a 2nd listen and it just became irritating.

Classic hard rock. Typical AC/DC.

Nah. I tried a 2nd listen and it was just kinda annoying.

Just when this list had me thinking I don't like 60"s music, I get this album that reminds me there is some really good stuff from that era. This is a solid album with some really great songs, like Kicks and I'm Not Your Stepping Stone. Some of it is that bouncy 'thin' 60"s pop-rock that's just kinda annoying, but it had me back for a three-peat listen. Will I ever listen to it again? Probably not, unless maybe I pick up the vinyl somewhere for a few bucks.

It's classic Def Leppard. I didn't hear anything surprising from this album. I mean, I guess it's pretty great for what it is - polished pop/jock rock? I dunno. You know those bars that are really popular with a younger crowd, and visually they're really slick looking places, but when you go there you're just like, "why is everything sticky, and what is that smell?" Yeah, this album is the aural version of that bar.

A decent listen. I'm not going back for more, but it wasn't annoying or irritating, so, that's a win!

Nah.

The 25 year old British white dude from the 80s fronting this band sings with the soul of a 55 year old black woman from the 60's. If you get yourself in a Yacht Rock frame of mind, this album is pretty good. It's not Yacht Rock, but I'd place it nearby. A bit too soulful for that category, but it's not far off of stuff like ATR and Hall and Oats. I enjoyed it.

Not terrible. Didn't really capture my interest, though. Forgettable.

This was odd album. I didn't care much for it. The last track was weirdly cool, though.

Oof. That's old.

My hot take: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is a terrible song. That said, With A Little Help From Me Friends is a great tune. This record leans more towards not so great, for me, though. Revolver was better, I think. They do have a few great tunes, but in general, I just don't get the Beatles. Guess you had to be there.

I think Buddy the Elf has better melodies. This album ranges from insipid swill, to sleepy meandering nonsense, to "barely organized chaos", the latter of which the review on Pandora apparently proffered as a compliment? The best I can say about this album is that it might help you fall asleep. I could barely stay awake to get through it. Next!

Great album. This is why I keep coming back to this list. This is just great songwriting. It's no surprise this was such a wildly successful album. I'd never have picked this album to listen to, but I'm glad this list forced it upon me.

Ugh. Another Dylan album. I am still of the opinion that Bob Dylan should never have sung a single note. That said, this is probably the best BD album I've heard.... And what I mean is that parts of it approach being bearable. But, still, they aren't. And any vocals that approach being not irritating are offset by some pretty grating harmonica. You know what? Until this 1001 albums endeavor, I can't say I've ever actually heard any Dylan song. Like, do they even play then on the radio? I feel like that that's testament to how terrible Bob Dylan is, and how everyone was just duped into believing he was some kind of great artist, but he's not. It's not pleasant to listen to. It's just not. None of it.

Well that's just a great album. Listened to it three times straight through while layed over at ORD. The infectious riffs and hot licks cannot be denied. Guaranteed to satisfy.

For the life of me I can't understand what the appeal of discordant noise is under the context of music. It's terrible to listen to.
