Beggars Banquet
The Rolling StonesSounds a lot like the other Stones albums. Forgot how much I liked Street Fighting Man. 4/5
Sounds a lot like the other Stones albums. Forgot how much I liked Street Fighting Man. 4/5
Listened to the first 4 songs. I get it. There's 3+ hours of this. It's fine. Docking it a star for being so long. Ridiculous. lol 2/5.
The whole album just kind of blended together. Nothing stood out. It was fine background music, but not a big fan of the album overall. Didn't dislike it enough to just go 2 starts, but it was almost there. 2.5/5 (going to round this one up)
Folk rock, but a lot of emphasis on the rock/soft rock, which I enjoyed. I don't think I've heard any of the songs from this album before, but really liked every one. 4/5
I wasn't even in the mood for this and it hit. 4.5/5.
Weird. Not really my cup of tea, but can appreciate it for what it is. Really like the music on Drugs. 2.5/5
I've heard the hits from this album (specifically Last Goodbye), but haven't listened all the way through before. It's a mid-90s alt ass album for sure. Really prefer when he shows off his clean vocals like in Lilac Wine and Hallelujah, as opposed to some of the whining, but to each their own. Eternal Life might be my favorite after listening to this entire album. Just a straight forward rock song. 4 stars.
What makes this album unique is the banter from Johnny between songs. He's a heck of an entertainer, not just musician. I like the songs better on Folsom Prison Live, but this is a fun listen as well. 3.5/5.
I bet if I took a deep dive into the lyrics I might appreciate it more, but through just one listen I'm not a fan. It seems like everyone has an opinion on Sting's voice, but I'm impartial. Every Breath You Take is obviously legendary, and I liked Synchronicity I and II and King of Pain, but overall, I just don't like the new wave/funk 80s genre. 2/5
Beautiful music. If this album was just music or another singer I would have loved it, but I just can't get into his voice. 2/5.
I must preface this review that it's Friday afternoon and I'm in a good mood. But.... who knew I was a Cure fan? I did not. I haven't listened to much, but sad I was missing out. Time to get into more GOTH ROCK. 4/5
The Cure and The Smiths on back to back days. Cemetry Gates and Bigmouth Strikes Again stuck out as favorites. 3.5/5
A lot of jazz flute. Pretty good jam band stuff. 3.5/5
I've always been hit or miss with Dylan. Sometimes I'll listen to song after song and other times I change it as soon as it comes on. This album is the best I've heard from him. Mostly because it's more rock than folk. From a Buick 6 is the song that stood out for me (other than Like a Rolling Stone obv). 4/5.
One of the better Springsteen albums I've heard.
Fun to see the evolution of hip-hop.
Meh. Expected a little more from this album from what I've heard from Coltrane. 3/5
Timeless psychedelic music. Going to have to dig into his other stuff. 4/5
This album was EVERYWHERE in 2007. Still holds up and great listening to such huge hits again. 4/5
Timeless songs you still hear in pop culture today. 4/5.
Separating artist from the art, this is my favorite hip hop album. 5/5
Not bad, not great. 2.5/5
Ok, the first few songs I wasn't really liking this album. Around Sister it really started picking up for me and enjoyed it. 3/5.
Been awhile since I've listened to this one. Love the premise. Not a fan of most of the songs. Chicago and Decatur stick out the most. 2/5.
Folk rock, but a lot of emphasis on the rock/soft rock, which I enjoyed. I don't think I've heard any of the songs from this album before, but really liked every one. 4/5
This album just never did it for me. Hot topic punk. That was the genre I loved the most back then too. I don't dislike all Green Day, but never got big into this album. All that being said, I respect the popularity they gained from this and the broadway show. 3/5.
TOUGH listen. It's obviously a praised album and band, but not a fan of the type of music. Ok, I had to stop listening after Setting Sun. This was torture for me. 1/5.
I loved this album. Always really dug the 50s pop rock and this is the best of it.
Great voice. I couldn't really tell what era this album was from. I don't know if I'd listen to this again, but wasn't upset at all about going through it for the first time. 3/5.
I like almost everything I've heard from Queen previously, but this album just wasn't for me. Stone Cold Crazy stood out. If this is on the 1001 albums list, I'm guessing every one of Queen's albums are.
We need more rock operas.
Someone's review was "this is the worst Radiohead album" and I'm not sure there's a better explanation.
Really liked this. C.I.U stood out to me.
Had this album at a 3, but after reading about their influence on other bands I had to bump it up to a 4.
Only song I didn't really care for was The Murder Mystery. Pale Blue Eyes was my favorite, but it's their most recognized song, so that wasn't a surprise. Really liked After Hours as well (sung by their drummer). Another influential album from late 60's/70's. 4/5.
SMOOOOOTH.
Not my type of music. Broken Clocks and 20 Something stood out for me. 2.5/5
Another album I didn't realize was that old. Songs that stood out (other than the classics) The New Style and Time To Get Ill. 4/5
Rock n roll band playin rock n roll. Not reinventing the songs we all know, but playing them loud and proud. 5/5.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. I was never into his music when it first came out. After reading some reviews before listening, people complained about the same song over and over. I didn't feel that way at all. Us V Them stood out. 3.5/5
Beautiful voice. Don't Forget About Me stood out, besides obv Preacher Man. 3/5
I like the lyrics, but not the music. 2.5/5.
Just didn't really care for this. Here He Comes and By This River stood out. 2.5/5
After doing some research seems like a powerful jazz album for the time. 3/5
Really only know the U2 hits. Really liked this one. Red Light stood out, with New Year's Day still probably being my favorite. 3.5/5
The whole album just kind of blended together. Nothing stood out. It was fine background music, but not a big fan of the album overall. Didn't dislike it enough to just go 2 starts, but it was almost there. 2.5/5 (going to round this one up)
Sure, I'll listen to this one again. 5/5
I thought I'd like this album a lot more than I did. It started off in the 4 star range, but didn't keep me interested at all. 3/5.
Nothing I'd choose to play in the car, but nice soundscape for background music while I work. 3/5.
I've listened to this album many times before. Never disappoints. 4.5/5
Groovy funk. Not music a really listen to, but in the right mood I dig it. 3.5/5.
Big fan of Sinatra, but not this one. Every song is sad and gloomy which makes it a tough listen all the way through. 2/5.
I've heard most of this album before. Really like it, and then comes the We Will Fall song. Almost knocked it down a full star for that. Finally had to skip the song 7 mins in. The rest of the album is great though. Sounds similar to the other 60s rock albums that were coming out at that time. 4/5
Wish this album was tightened up a bit, but it's still so good. 4.5/5
Just another banger album from the 60s. One Album A Day has been good to me lately. 4.5/5.
I thought I was going to stay on a roll and have another 60s album ranked at 4 or higher, but this one just didn't do it for me. Nothing really stood out like I thought it would. It was still an easy listen though. 3/5.
Not a fan of electronic music, but this was very chill and easy listening. 2.5/5.
Couldn't really get into this. Tear in Your Hand stood out. 2/5.
Kind of bland compared to what came next for Petty. Really liked Mystery Man and the other big hits. 3/5.
Heard this one a bunch. 4.5/5
So good. So many hits. 5/5
I wasn't even in the mood for this and it hit. 4.5/5.
Sounds a lot like the other Stones albums. Forgot how much I liked Street Fighting Man. 4/5
I've just been getting a steady list of solid 60's rock albums lately. 4/5.
Easy, easy, easy listening. It took me a couple songs to get into it, but then was really hooked on this one. It's a shame there isn't a half star rating, because this is a true 4.5/5. Almost 5.
I think I've only heard one of these songs before. Very middle of the road. Didn't dislike it. Wasn't blown away by anything. 3/5.
Not my fav album of her, but still really like it. 3.5/5
Just nahh from me. 2/5.
Always down for listening to this one. 4.5/5
The music was actually really good, like his vocals, but the premise is a little crazy. 3/5
Another 4.5/5. Just a song or so away from being a 5.
I got this album the day after Brian Wilson died. Not sure if coincidence or not, but what an impact on pop music. 5/5
Like I've said before, just not my genre. Still a very listenable album though. 3/5.
5 for the album cover, 1 for the album.
Lots of noise. I liked it.
Genius of Love beat is iconic. The whole album is just a little too goofy for me.
A lot of howling and harmonica. Not my fav Dylan record on here, but still some great songs. 3/5.
Rock God. Loved this album! 4.5/5
Didn't like this one as much as others of this time and genre.
Bluesy, late Dylan. Not my fav, not terrible. Tryin' to Get to Heaven stood out. Didn't realize he wrote Make You Feel My Love either. 3/5.
Listened to the first 4 songs. I get it. There's 3+ hours of this. It's fine. Docking it a star for being so long. Ridiculous. lol 2/5.
This was a nice surprise. I hadn't heard of him before. You Ain't the Problem and Hero stood out. 4/5.
This was a great album, but once you hear a couple of the songs you've heard them all. 3.5/5.
Heard a few of his songs before, but not much from this album. Psychedelic 60s!!!
Fun music, but really have to be in the right frame of mind. Didn't like this album as much as some of their other songs I've heard though. 3/5.
Looking at some of the genre tags and reviews beforehand, I didn't think I was going to like this one, but actually wasn't bad at all. Stood out: I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing and Yesterday When I Was Mad. 3.5/5
Not much in there that I care for, but not terrible. Probably wouldn't listen again. 3/5.
Her other album is great. I suffered through this one. 2/5.
The country/honky tonk songs I liked a lot. Some of the others I wasn't a fan on. 3/5
Actually a pretty good pop album. 3.5/5
Not terrible psychedelic rock, but I've heard better. I've been giving a lot of 3's lately, but there's just been some run of the mill stuff that's not terrible, but didn't blow me away. 3/5
Solid pop album from the Beatles. Not my favorite of theirs, but easy listen. It's hard to rate some artist's albums because you know their entire body of work. 4/5
This album had the feel of the 60s to the 90s. Really liked the music and his calming vocals. I Am the Resurrection stood out. Don't Stop stood out as terrible. 3.5/5
A lot of negative reviews on this one, but I liked the sound. Don't know if I'd ever come back to it, but a cool listen. 3.5/5.
Blended several genres well and kept my attention, but didn't care for every track. Actually liked just the instrumentals like Coming Up the best. 3/5
Dig the guitars and vocals. It's been awhile since I've heard this album. Still sounds good. 4/5.
Superstition stood out like a sore thumb. It's obviously one of his biggest hits, but the entire vibe of that song was different than most of the album. We needed more of that!! Tuesday Heartbreak and You are the Sunshine of my Life also stood out. 3/5
I liked this album a lot. More than just bluesy rock from the Stones. Really like the range of instruments used. 4/5
Snoozer for me. 2/5
Best Sabbath I've heard. Gritty, gloomy, original. RIP OZZY (today's the day after he passed) 5/5
Fun merger of 60s/70s pop with a little more punk/rock. Born 20 years earlier I could see myself listening to this on heavy rotation. 3.5/5
Was kind of surprised with the instrumentals on this album. There was a different feel on this album to the first few I've heard. Really enjoyed this one though. 4/5
Didn't like most of this album. Just very soft and not what I prefer. I did like the song A Simple Desultory Phillipic a lot. 2.5/5.
Recently did a deep dive on CCR. The run of albums in '69-'70 they had was incomparable. Probably 3 of their 6 albums in that time period are 5s for me. This is one of em. 5/5
This just has too much star power not to give it a 5. It's stood the test of time and is one of the quintessential 70's arena rock album. 5/5
Some of the songs were ok (Aeroplane and Big Time Sensuality stood out), but overall I was not a big fan. 2.5/5.
Just good, upbeat music that you can't help but tap your toes to. I already had his Zombie album on here, and I seemed to like that one more, but this was a good one too. 3/5
Another classic rock album with hit after hit. 5/5
This shows how hard it is to be Prince. Was an ok listen, but wouldn't come back to it. My Precious Love stood out. 2/5
Some of the songs that sounded more authentic alt-country I liked, but still kind of a boring album. Singer reminds me of Shawn Mullins. lol. Not a bad listen though. Satellite and Shiver stood out. 3/5.
