1001 Albums Summary

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.

One of the bands I've been listening to the most the past few years. This isn't my fav album of theirs, but has a couple of my fav songs. 4/5

Terrible cover art. :) Couple great songs, but I wasn't thrilled with all of it. Levon and Tiny Dancer carry. 3.5/5

Heck of a journey we go on here. Soul Kitchen has been my favorite song of this album, and Alabama Song stood out this time around as well. 5/5

I'm just thinking of all the albums that aren't on this list that could have been over this one........ It does encapsulate that weird time between 90s/00s pop. Didn't mind Don't Tell Me. 1.5/5

Pretty trippy album. Black Steel stood out, mostly bc of a more rock beat. An ok listen, but just background noise for the most part.... (update around track 9) Ok, by the end of this I almost had to turn it off. 1/5

I read this as an English electronic album and had my doubts. At the beginning I was ready for a low score and possibly skipping the end like I've had to do on other electronic albums, but then it kind of put me in a trance. This was really enjoyable and listened to it all. I've heard some Prodigy before, but this just caught me at the right moment and was impressed. 3.5/5

Music that transports you to another place. 3.5/5

Shows that classic songs are classic in any genre. Loved the Hank Williams covers. 4/5

Is there a more iconic riff than Smoke on the Water? Tasty licks all over this album. 4/5

EDM is either growing on me, or the last couple I've gotten has been better than every other one I've listened to. With the description and cover art I went into this album just knowing it was going to be a 1 and not finishing the album....... I liked most of this album. I don't see another scenario where I'd listen to it, but wasn't a bad listen. 2/5.

Haven't heard this live one before, but wouldn't expect anything less. 4/5

Love the sound, but not a lot of songs that really stick out. 3.5/5

Big dumb fun 5/5

I try to listen like it's my first time listening to it in the year it debuted. This one must have been a trip. NOW though... it's a tough listen. Lots of noise and static. Like listening to a dentist drill. This wasn't an enjoyable listen for me. 1.5/5.

The band sounds great, her vocals are insane. Very close to being a 5 for me. Would have loved to hear what came next from her. 4.5/5.

Solid honky-tonk album, but not one of my favorites. 3/5

This is an album that really got me into traditional country music at a young age. His personality is so funny in this too. Just a damn good time. 5/5

Everything is Fair stood out. Great album!

When it was rocking I liked it. When the prog kicked it there was just a lot of bad noise. 2.5/5

Kind of liked the songs that Neil Young wasn't doing vocals on the best. Good Time Boy stood out. 3.5/5.

Had to turn this off. Usually I rank those albums 1, but I did like what I heard. It was just song after song of the exact same. In small sample size this is good. 2/5.

After only knowing Song 2, I expected a little more from this band. After the first couple songs it's pretty uneventful. 2/5

It's been awhile since I've listened to this one, but you can hear the influence he has on all genres of music from the time this was released. 4/5

Not one of my favorite albums of theirs, but even their bottom tier albums are better than most. I mentioned it on my review of Cosmo's Factory, just one of the greatest runs in American music history. Lodi is also one of my fav CCR songs. 4/5

Fun, crazy album. Loved the music. A couple songs went on a little long, but overall a great album. 4/5

Not really a fan of his vocals. Don't like the new wave vibes. 2.5/5

Another one I haven't listened to in awhile, but still holds up. It's kind of bland in spots, so a 3/5.

Separate the art from the artist. "You know the kids gonna act a fool when you stop the programs for after school and pay DCF's... some of em dyslexic, they favorite 50 Cent song "12 Questions"

Big fan of a few songs, but it all started to sound the same. Not a huge fan of their voices, although I do like some of his stuff.

I like how this album is a little more raw than their newer ones, but not liking his voice on this one.

Great album. Haven't listened to much of them, but might have to check out the rest now. 4/5

Not bad, not real great. Just kind of dull songs that seem to be on repeat. No real hooks. Middle of my road, so 3.

Not a big fan of prog rock and this didn't change my mind. Whatever that was during Moonchild was a bummer. 2/5

This was really close to a 5. Loved the noise. I will def be checking more of her stuff out and coming back to this one. 4.5/5

I know it's pedestrian to just give this album a 5, but I started it and just kind of went into a trance. It really is that good. 5/5

Nice and relaxing. Chartered Flight stood out. 3.5/5

After listening to this album in its entirety, this might be my fav Stones album. No skips. 5/5

Just listened to this a month or so ago, but went ahead and listened again. A couple of the biggest singles from the 90s on here. 4/5.

The version of Elvis can get kind of boring. Prefer the early work, but there's a couple great songs in here. 3.5/5

This really grew on me as it went on. You Were Meant For Me stood out. 3.5/5.

People calling this album boring in the reviews, and I just don't get it. This was a great album and easy to get through. First song, Fight Test, stood out right away.

I liked this one a lot more than Kid A which I had before on this list. Still don't get the HYPE hype that Radiohead gets, but this was better. 3.5/5

Just a bummer of an album. Everything quiet and too mellow and gloomy. So Long, Marianne stood out. 2/5.

I've never heard of this band or any songs. This is why I do this, to find bands like this. Excellent sound. 4/5

I like the throwback sound of British pop on this fairly modern all-star cast album. It kind of got bland after listening for awhile, but still an album you can just put on and listen through it. Another album that I didn't know existed before this. The Meeting Place stood out. 3.5/5

This sucks. Synth pop is really one of my least fav genres. 1.5/5

I can't mess this up, because it says one of my least fav genres is jazz in my summary which isn't true. This is a long album, no doubt. I'm 7 songs in and I feel like I can knock this whole album out, because it's so entertaining, but we will see. Take the A Train is my first one that's stood out. Track 17. I really like the album, but just tired of listening. I really do think I'll come back to this at a later time to finish it up or visit the full thing again. 4/5.

Great early 90s rap with a LOT of substance. 3.5/5

Beautiful, painful album. I've Never Found a Girl stood out. 4/5

Liked a few songs, but didn't love it by any means. Country Comfort and Cut Across Shorty stood out. 3/5

Lots of rock and thrash. Really liked this one. It's a lot of the same sound song after song, but was good enough I didn't mind. Capricorn stood out. 4/5

The first half of this was great.... I guess I just wasn't ready for the instrumentals. Looking back at it now they were good.... I just didn't expect the shift in the album. Weeping Walls stood out in the second half. Every song before Be My Wife was also very entertaining. I'm going to revisit this album. After realizing what it was I'm very intrigued. 4/5

What a powerhouse! A lot of hits on this album. (Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone stood out among the other hits. 4.5/5

Fun album. A lot of the songs sounded the same, so can't say what stood out. Maybe Monkey Man and Little Bitch. Easy album to get through. 3.5/5

Don't judge an album by its first track. The music on this was great (although obviously not understanding the lyrics). Charlotte stood out and liked the motor on most of the songs. Some reminded me of a French Rammstein. 4/5

Just had a Bowie album recently and loved it. Here's another.... love it as well. Maybe even more than the last. 4.5/5

Ugh, another synth-pop album. No real emotion either way on this. 3/5.

3rd Bowie in a week's span. This was my least favorite so far, but still some great songs here. Really liked the title track. 3.5/5.

Second album in a week I'm comparing to Rammstein, but I guess industrial music in a foreign language gets that. Really liked the epic, march sounding songs like The Great Seal and Opus Dei and a few others. 4/5

I liked this album from the start. Supermassive Black Hole has been overplayed, and I didn't really like it to begin with, but there's other great songs on here. Take a Bow, Starlight, Invincible, and City of Delusion stood out 4.5/5

Some of the album isn't on Spotify. I get the social hip-hop genre, but didn't really think the lyrics or beats were great. 2/5

Just kind of a boring, weird album. Message in a Bottle will get you at least a star though. 2.5/5 (rounded to 3 because it's closer to that

Just listened to this not long ago, but don't mind doing it again. Love the different styles here and some songs are very fun. 4.5/5

Even outside of the big hits, the whole album is a laid back vibe and loved every song. 5/5

Just enough off the synth-pop beaten path that this was an interesting album for me. Immediately after I finished it I went back and listened to a few of the songs again. The Height of Frightening crawled into my ear and I had to listen to it a couple more times today. 4/5

How can anyone be THIS in love. It was a good album, but like most Sinatra, it's going to sound about the same every song. 3/5

One of the best album covers, and deserves all the praise it gets. Not my fav Metallica album, but it's up there. Disposable Heroes stood out. 4.5/5

Good rippppppin time. Best Stooges I've heard. Dirt stood out. 4/5

The beats, lyrics, and flow were pretty bad. The concept story throughout the album made it interesting to listen to and saved this from being a 1. 2/5

The perfect mix of The Beatles experimenting and pop hits. Shoutout LSD. 5/5

Good music, good lyrics. Morrissey's voice is unbearable for me. 2/5.

Very frustrating listen, as the other Radiohead albums have been. We Suck Young Blood sounded cool at first, but then the whining just kept going and killed it. Myxomatosis and Go To Sleep stood out. They were good. 2/5

I actually just listened to a majority of The White Stripes catalogue last week, and this and Get Behind Me Satan are both easy 5s. I've listened to I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself a handful of times since. 5/5

As soon as the album came on I thought of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Kicks and Ballad of a Useless Man stood out. I wanted to give this a 4 after the first couple songs, but there's too many songs I didn't care for as the album went on. 3/5

You Are My Sister and Fistful of Love stood out. Not a fan of most of this album, but there were some moments that kept it out of being a 1. 2/5

I've heard this album quite a bit. Peace Frog stood out on this listen. 4.5/5

See my comments on last week's White Stripes. :)

The Sun Always Shines On TV stood out. Take on Me is the obvious song, but everything else I just didn't care for. 2/5

Have listened to most of this before, but not all the way through. The Becoming and Reptile stood out. Not a huge fan of this industrial music, but it had it's moments. 3/5

Didn't like the album after the first couple songs, but then it started to pick up. I thought this might be a 2 or 3, but after the last song moved it up to a 4. A lot of fun lyrics. Sigourney Weaver, Silver Platter Club, Jesus Hates, Outer Space, and Queen of Denmark stood out. "I wanted to change the world, but I couldn't even change my underwear". I would like to dive into more of his music and the band he had before this. 4/5

Not my favorite album of his. I actually remember liking it more than I did on this listen. Like the large sound and emotion in the songs though. 3.5/5

Fake Tales of San Francisco, Mardy Bum, and Red Light Indicates stood out. Overall solid album.

The guitar licks really stand out on this album. Liked it a lot. 4/5

This album needs more punk and less post-punk/new wave sound. She has the voice for that. I couldn't find much that I really enjoyed. F***ing in Rhythm and Sorrow stood out. 2/5.

This album kicked ass. Such an easy listen. Folksy/traditionaly/celticy then some straight rock n roll in some songs??? It wasn't too heavy on any of those elements though. A 22 track album seemed daunting, but the 1 hour 45 mins flew by. 4/5

Iconic album, iconic album cover. Have never been blown away by this album. 3/5

Broken Face stood out and of course Where Is My Mind? Such a Nirvana before Nirvana album. 4.5/5

The overall sound is very soft, folksy, and easy listening, but can be dull in parts. The songs seem to run together. Sunlight stood out. Kind of the definition of a 3 score: nothing bad, nothing great. 3/5

Title of the album says it all. Penetration stood out, but liked it all. 4/5

Chug All Night stood out. Go through these reviews and try not to find a Big Lebowski quote on the f'n Eagles, man. 3/5

There was one song that I didn't like, but the rest carried. Easy listening. 4/5

The long songs just kind of turned into background noise. Just didn't keep me engaged on it. 2/5

Come to My Aid stood out right away. Never heard of this band, but actually liked it a lot. Soft pop that was just real easy to get through. I might just be getting old. 4/5

Polished yacht rock. I would have hated this back in the day, but 40 year old me gets it. 3/5

My only complaint is it's not long enough. 4/5

Haven't really listened to this album since it came out. Makes you appreciate the simplicity of The White Stripes. Love Interruption stood out. 3/5

Real weird one from The Doors. Not my favorite album of theirs, but still great. 4/5

Every whiny song sounded the same. Angel Angel We Go Down Together stood out. Just need a different voice singing it. 1/5

I'm just not a big fan of this genre, but well done obviously.

If I could only choose one Christmas album to listen to for the rest of my life it would probably be this one or the Home Alone soundtrack. 5/5

Classic grunge album. My only complaint is a lot of the songs sound the same. 4/5

Really liked this one. Haven't heard a whole lot of this band, but could see myself getting into them more. Get Ready for Love, The Lyre of Orpheus, and Breathless stood out. 4/5

Sounds the same as the rest of the pop-rock from that time. Not great, not terrible. 3/5

Every song is intriguing and pure sex. 5/5

Some albums just weren't made for me. That's ok. This was such a huge album in high school. Bootylicious is still a fun one. 2/5

Love how different every song is, and has great features on it. Adding Killer Mike to any album is a plus. Some people complain about the interludes, but thought it broke up the album nicely. 4/5

I haven't listened to this one in years. Not as great as I remember. 3/5

A Last Straw might be the worst song I've heard on this list. The rest wasn't terrible. Not enough to warrant a 1, but very close. 2/5

Pleasant Street stood out. So many folk albums from the same era on this list. And this is... one of them. 3/5

The irony of this being put out on Virgin Records.... smooth vibe and great voice, but I just hate this kind of music. Same tempo the entire album. This was a real struggle to finish. 1/5

Took me a couple songs to realize this wasn't in English. Where's the coffee?? This is a nice mellow album. I saw it tagged as shoegaze and was worried, but it wasn't bad. 3/5

So close to being a 5. Great old cowboy story and songs. 4.5/5

Listened to the first 4 songs. Same thing over and over again. I don't think I was in the right environment for how this is supposed to be consumed though. :) 1/5

Down your throat rock album. Jailbait is a tough listen 40 years later. 4/5

There's only 4 songs available on Spotify, but I get the drift. 4/5

I haven't listened to this one in awhile, but have always enjoyed it. 3/5

Like it, but after the first couple songs I expected a little more. Liked the vocals, but the music in the background got old. 3/5

The big band in the back is fantastic. 4/5

Really quiet and soft. Kind of bland. Can't imagine listening to it again. 2/5

I've listened to some of her other albums and this one didn't really make sense to me until I saw it came out in 2000. You can hear some of the sounds others in pop were using at that time. Not anywhere near the top of what I've heard from her, but cool she wrote her own music on this one. 3/5

A genre I haven't really listened to much. Ok-ish. 2/5

First 3 songs are classics. Then the songs started to slow down and I didn't like it as much. 3.5/5

Sounds like all the other mid-90s hip hop albums. For better or worse. Ain't the Devil Happy stood out. 3/5

Interesting, but I was in the mood for weird. 16 Shells from a 30.6 and Down, Down, Down stood out. 3.5/5

The first 4 songs were bland, but then Macbeth hit (stood out) and boosted it up at least a star. Paris 1919 continued the more upbeat transition in the album. 3/5

A lot of 3s lately, but they've just been middle of the road on first listen. I've listened to this one back in the day, but Wilco just never clicked for me. One of the best album covers though. 3/5.

Really liked the flow and beats on this album. After School Special stood out for me. 4/5

Didn't think I would like this reading the description, but was pretty good background music for an hour. Most of the songs sounded the same. 3/5

Surprisingly, I don't think I've listened to this entire album before. I liked all of the songs I hadn't heard. Even through all of the hits, The Way You Make Me Feel still stood out the most. 5/5

Kind of bland indie/pop. A Violent Noise stood out. 3/5

Really liked the vibe of this one. 4/5

Liked it all except At Last I Am Free. That song was annoying. I didn't realize I knew Le Freak until it came on! 4/5

Vocals on One More Try are incredible. 3/5

Enjoyed learning more about Syd's life, but wasn't loving this album. The end trailed off hard and a lot of things that should have stayed a demo. 2/5

I kind of forgot about this album and band. Really like Take Your Mama. Just a fun upbeat album, but nothing I'd listen to on repeat. 3/5

I've heard a few songs from this album before, but never all. I liked it more than I thought I would. 3.5/5 (closer to 4)

This was great. Really enjoyed the organ in the background. 4/5

A lot of the songs sounded the same. Won't be revisiting this one. 2/5

Man, I can't believe I haven't heard this before. LOVE the vibe, and could possibly be a 5 in the future. 4.5/5

I've never been a big fan of her voice, but the songs are legit. Soap Star Joe stood out. 3/5

Ballad of Big Nothing stood out. Such a soft album. Had trouble hearing him sometimes, but then he would speed things up and didn't mind his voice. This is something I would revisit and listen to more of his catalog. 3.5/5

Here for the blues guitar. Didn't leave disappointed. Little Wing and Bell Bottom Blues stood out. 4/5

I like all of these singers, but did not like the songs on this album. 2/5

Really like 70s British punk, even though a lot sounds the same. This made me check out more bands from the genre though, so that's good. 3/5

Kind of eye rolled after track one. Halfway through part 2 I started to get in the zone of it. Then it got old quick. It's cool music in the right environment. 2/5

Another album that isn't my favorite, but don't know a CCR album that would be rated below a 4. 4/5

The Beatles set such a standard, that I think this gets rated a 5 if they're a random band, but this probably evens out to around a 3 for them. Sooooo, I'm giving it a 5. Nothing ground breaking here, but just love this 60s pop/rock sound. 5/5

The lowest rated album of the entire book!!!!!!!! My face the whole time was that Tom Delonge WTF gif. Like walking through a Rob Zombie movie and just a raw, raw soundtrack of that. I'm 5 songs in and I actually love the randomness of it. It's a 3.5 for me. I'll check back in at the end........ Still like it! 3/5

Just a band that is not for me. 8th biggest band in the world, so a lot like them, but just not the type of music I enjoy. Yellow is the only song I really cared for on the album. 2/5

I've never heard a lot of these songs. This is one of the best early 90s rap albums I've heard. The Predator stood out from the songs I haven't heard. 5/5

Don't know if I just wasn't in the mood for this or what, but I just couldn't get into it like his other albums I've heard. Am-A-Do, Rebel Music and Talkin' Blues stood out. Ok. After the full listen got into it more. Moved from a 2.5 to a 3.

I understand the genius of this album, even though it doesn't resonate with me as much. Wish You Were Here might be one of the greatest songs ever recorded though. 4.5/5

Super Rich Kids, Monks, and Bad Religion stood out of the songs I haven't heard. Back and forth on this album. I would listen to certain songs again, but not the album all the way through. 3.5/5

Just tired of this brand of British pop/rock. A couple of the songs seemed like a fake band that you'd hear in a British movie. Australia stood out. 2.5/5

Loved this! I think I've heard The Girl From Ipanema before. 4/5

Just such a long album. Comfortably Numb is so, so good. There was certain parts I enjoyed and others seemed to drag on. 3.5/5

Really love the singles. Wasn't crazy about the rest honestly. X.Y.U. stood out. A lot more grungy than their other songs. 3/5

Sunshine Superman, The Trip, and Season of the Witch stood out. I hated the sitar/Indian music on a lot of the album. Season of the Witch was good enough to pull this album from a 2 to a 3. 3/5

Shelter stood out. Very mellow, easy listening pop. 3/5

For Panama and the cover art, that's a 4 by itself. 4/5

Enjoyed the soft background music and the lyrics. Just not a fan of his vocals. One of These Things First stood out. 2.5/5. Update, I thought I had a Nick Drake album before, so after searching I had and wrote the same comments on that one. :)

First song had to skip after 10 mins in. I don't haaaate it, but def gets old real quick. 2/5

Some albums on this list just become background noise. This album was a WTF is going on and what are they going to do next. Although not something I would listen to a lot, and not sure I can even call it good, but was a nice break from the same sounding albums...... interesting to say the least. 2.5/5

Another album I didn't hate, I just got so tired of. I tend to like jazz-fusion, but I don't want to sit and listen to an hour straight of it. Turned it off with 4 songs left. Might go back and finish. 2/5

Funky. Groovy. You Haven't Done Nothin' and It Ain't No Use stood out. 3.5/5

Enjoyed this. Very mellow with great lyrics. 4/5

Not for me, but a few really good pop songs in here. 2.5/5

Not even a big U2 fan, but this album is great. I like how they explore different sounds on different tracks. Keeps it fresh, but still cohesive. 4/5

Enjoy his voice and the music. I remember liking the other album I heard from him better though. Papa, Won't Leave You, Henry stood out right from the start and Jack the Ripper to finish it up. 3/5

It's another Bob Dylan album. For better or worse. Wasn't a fan of the cadence of his melodies in the first few songs. Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts stood out on the songs I had not heard. 3/5

Forgot how good the song m.A.A. city is. I think this is my favorite Kendrick album. 4/5

Bloodsucker stood out. Child in Time was a wild ride. This is a great album 4/5

Kind of generic punk with iffy lyrics. I like their sound, but nothing groundbreaking. 2.5/5 rounding to 3.

Not surprisingly, it sounds like most AC/DC albums. :) Touch Too Much stood out of the songs I had not heard. 4/5

Just kind of got lost in the background, but was pleasant. 3/5

Although I've heard all of these songs before, Don't Pass Me By and Helter Skelter stood out. This album needs tightened down. Just too many average songs. Still some great tracks though too. Maybe my least favorite Beatles album? 3.5/5

Just My Imagination stood out. Easy listening, but it will make you move. 3/5

I've never heard of her or any of the songs. Buffalo Stance is very catchy. Wasn't feeling it after the first couple of songs. Not my type of music. 2/5

Heard it before. Good to revisit though. Ol Dirty Bastard is still my favorite flow. 4/5

Some all-time classics on this album. The rest is still very easy listening, soft rock. 4.5/5

Just kind of a bummer album. This album got really old and no track really stood out. 1.5/5

Didn't love or even really like most of this, but was such an odd combination of sounds/vocals I can't give it a 1. It was all over the place and that was the point of the album. 2/5

There's a lot more to this album than Bang a Gong. Loved the sound and was a few better tracks away from a 5. Just watched Billy Idol's doc and learned more about Marc Bolen. Interesting character. 4/5

Get Up, The Wrong Child, and Orange Crush (heard that before) stood out. Always liked REM, just never listened to a lot of their albums. Might have to now. 4/5

I've heard a lot of these songs too many times, but it's been awhile since I heard the entire album. I remember liking it more, honestly. The song that I haven't heard forever that stood out again was All These Things That I've Done. 3/5

I couldn't quite figure out what this album was trying to do with the instrumentals, smooth R&B voice, rapping??, etc. It kept you on your toes, but don't think I'd ever revisit. You're the Best Thing stood out. 2.5/5.

Not a Limp Bizkit hater, but a lot of this is pretty lame. The Ben Stiller stuff is great. Livin It Up and Getcha Groove On stood out. 2/5

This album is a vibe. I've actually never heard of this band, but really like their sound. Starting typing out songs that stood out and was almost all of them. Didn't realize it was Jay Ferguson on vocals until I read more about them. 5/5

STARRRRRRRRMAN! This is a great album. Liked almost all of it. 4.5/5

Some pretty classic songs/riffs in here. Not my favorite type of music, but def can appreciate it. 4/5

I don't care that I can't tell what he's saying. The music just seems boring. The same sort of beat and vibe the entire time. That's fine for a track, but not an hour. Kettodee stood out. 1.5/5

My Old Friend The Blues stood out, and Someday is one of my fav Steve Earle songs. 4.5/5

Interesting premise. A fake movie soundtrack. The premise was def better than the execution though. Some of it sounded quite cheesy. Auto Destruction stood out. 2.5/5

With a Little Help From My Friends, Getting Better, When I'm Sixty Four stood out. Couple songs away from a 5. 4.5/5

Not a huge jam band fan, especially the recording and not live. This had some very long parts that I just wanted to skip over. Specifically in You Don't Love Me. 3/5

I don't get all the negative reviews towards this top of this one. This was easy listening glam rock. A lot better than I've heard from most in this genre. Pleasantly surprised and have never heard of this band before. After this album played I listened to more of their catalog. 4.5/5

Miss You Much and Escapade stood out. The production takes away from the lyrics throughout most of it. Not an R&B fan, but the album did grow on me. 2/5

A second album from Cocteau Twins on this list surprises me. I gave the last one a 3, so I must have liked it more. This album is annoying. Very quiet vocals over bland music. Pandora stood out. 1.5/5

Got a little weird after African Skies. This is a take it or leave it album for me. Very much a 3. 3/5

Not much to say. It's classic rock. It's Zeppelin. Maybe not my favorite album of theirs, but a crazy good debut. 4/5

One of my favorite albums growing up. Love how they introduced us to new music and didn't just wear out their hits. Lake of Fire and Where Did You Sleep Last Night stood out. 5/5

Liked this, but the vocals wear on you. 3/5

One of my favorite voices of that era. Preferred her other albums, but some solid covers on here. 3.5/5

Criminal stood out, but I believe I've heard it before since it's her biggest hit. Liked the vibe and her vocals. 3.5/5

I Need You Tonight and I Got the Six stood out other than the hits I've heard a bunch. 4.5/5

So this album was more tolerable than other Morrissey/Smiths albums I've had. Used to Be a Sweet Boy stood out. 2.5/5

I just don't get this album. I love Purple Rain. I don't know if I've listened all the way through his other albums, but this album just seemed weak. From everything else I've heard from Prince this just wasn't up to par. 2/5.

I love this album and his alt-country/folk sound. Very interesting character and life as well. 4.5/5

British and Punk AF. There's a lot of bands on this list that are influential, but I can hear a lot of the bands I grew up listening to in this album. 4/5

The first track is iconic. Nothing really bad to say about the rest, the sound just gets old. Still a pleasant listen. 3.5/5

Seeing Other People stood out. Not my kind of music, but it was ok to listen to. 3/5

Kind of boring compared to other I've heard from Steely Dan. Still easy listening. Your Gold Teeth stood out. 2.5/5

Into the Fire might be the worst Springsteen song I've heard. This album is on this list because of the artist, not because of the art. There are some good songs as the album went on now. I liked the second half of the album a lot more. Mary's Place, Paradise, and The Rising stood out. 2/5

Although it's one of her big hits, Baby Can I Hold You stood out. Great album. 4/5

I saw a review that said "I don't know enough about jazz to know why this is great, but I do know I enjoyed it"........ so yeah, that! 4/5

I do not like this genre. Saved the best song for last, huh? 2/5

Appreciate the foundation these guys set for Celtic Punk. I don't listen to this type of music as much as I used to, but they're still the top of that genre. 4.5/5

Execution of a Chump, Check The Technique, As I Read My S-A, and The Meaning of the Name stood out. Great flow and lyrics. 4/5

Don't like this album as much as their others, but I do like how unpolished this one is. Police & Thieves stood out. 2.5/5

No song really stood out, but decent soft rock. 3/5.

Bonin' in the Boneyard stood out. I liked the music, but some was bland. 3/5

This was really bad. Hated the sitar, the music, the singing. 1/5

Nice chill vibe throughout. 4/5

Really enjoyed this type of jazz (mostly revolving around the saxophone). This is an album/artist I would go back to. 4/5

It's good for synth-pop, but I don't care for the genre. Still a 3/5

Enjoyed every song. Teach Your Children had a fantastic country music intro. 5/5

Annoying lyrics. How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel stood out as him being a dick. I don't get how this is anyone's favorite artist. 2/5

Cool vibe to this album. Dragon stood out. 3/5

This was a fun listen. In the right mood I'd check them out again. 3.5/5

Sabotage is still one of the best songs of the 90s, but this album was looooong. Do It with Biz Markie stood out too. Liked the blending of different genres, especially punk (Heart Attack Man). I haven't heard a lot of that from them. 2.5/5

Really liked most of this. (Antichrist Television Blues) stood out. I always forget about this band. I need to do a deep dive on them. 3.5/5

Mr. Suit stood out. This is the type of album I want to find on this list. Post-punk that is quick with fun riffs. 4.5/5

I liked this better than I thought I would based on the album cover. Probably won't revisit, but not a bad listen. 3/5

Lightnin' Hopkins stood out. I'm not the biggest REM fan, but this was solid. 3/5

"It's better to burn out than to fade way" 4/5

Some of this was a heck of a vibe. Other times it was hard to listen to. I like learning of new albums like this though, even if they don't really align with what I typically listen to. 2/5

I've heard this album quite a few times. Heart of the City and Renegade stood out today. 4/5

Liked the first couple of songs, then it started to drag on. Broken Heart's into does feel like you're floating in space. Great pick me up song towards the end. That song and Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space stood out. Cool album and band I've never heard of. 3.5/5

I like the melodies and guitar playing, but just not a huge fan of his voice. 2.5/5

Elite intro to the album. Elite album cover. Fantastic start. Going Mobile stood out. Behind Blue Eyes is so good and then right into Won't Get Fooled Again. 5/5

Only 4 of the 8 tracks are on Spotify. I get it though. I just don't care for this music and her voice didn't wow me. 2/5

This genre (80s new wave) has more albums on this list than any other, I swear. I actually think this is one of the better ones though. The voice is very generic for that era, but I liked the music backing it up a lot. Show Me stood out and really kicked off this album. 4/5

Who You Drivin' Now was first song that stood out. Grunge needs to make a full comeback. But if not, we will always have the early 90s. 3/5

Those robot sounds were cute back in the day, but the closer we are to them taking over it's scary. This was decent background noise. I can't imagine ever revisiting this album. 2/5

Didn't care for the first song, but it got better. Back In Our Minds and Can You Get To That stood out. 2.5/5

Long, but good. You know it's going to be a good Clan song when there's karate sound clips. Guillotine stood out. Really like the beats and production on this album. 3.5/5

Furry Sings the Blues and Blue Motel Room stood out. Impartial on this album. It's fine. 2.5/5

Another great Pixies album. I have to accept that they're just one of my favorite bands and need to listen to them more. 4/5

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. That's Me stood out. Honestly, a lot of the album stood out. Hit every note of a great pop album. With all that being said, I don't know how I can't give it a 5. 5/5

I could see them being an influence on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I liked the sound. Kid and Brass in Pocket (didn't realize I knew that song) stood out. 3/5

This Love stood out. Overall, I liked the album. I think looking back a lot of it is cheesy compared to the music that has come out since, but can def see the influence they have on the genre. 3/5

Loved this album. A lot of tracks, but stayed fresh by not being too long and different styles. I have heard a few of his songs before, but would def dig into his catalog more. 4.5/5

This Fire stood out. Forgot about that one. This album flew by. Really enjoyed it. 4/5

Coldplay kinda got the Nickelback treatment back in the day. This album was good. I probably won't go out of my way to listen to it again, but was enjoyable. 3/5

There's a couple songs in the middle of this album that kept it from being a 5. Other than that it was perfect. A classic in every sense of the word. 4.5/5

Broken Drum and Rental Car stood out as the song I didn't know. E-Pro and Summer Girl were the songs I knew. I really liked this album. Very eclectic. 3.5/5

Nothing Compares 2 U is a quintessential 90s song, but the drop off to the next good song is monumental. I Do Not Want stood out I guess, but I didn't like the rest of the album. Nothing Compares might have kept this from being a 1. 2/5

This is THE Billy Joel album. Huge hits and no filler. 5/5

Very cool vibe. I do hear the Don Henley comparison everyone talked about. Some of the songs did sound the same, so that would be why I don't rank it much higher, but a solid 3/5.

Probably my least fav White Stripes album, but that's not saying much. I still love the majority of it. I Think I Smell a Rat always was one of my favorites and it stood out above the rest on this listen. 4.5/5

Cold Cold Heart (Hank Williams cover) stood out. I know there are people that like this type of music and singing style, but I do not. 1.5/5

One of the big "The" bands of the early 2000s. I was never really a big fan of that scene. This album is fine. Middle of the road for me. 3/5

Senhor F stood out. THIS IS AWESOME! Brazilian St. Pepper. 5/5

Beautiful album and top notch album cover. Wasn't a huge fan of a couple songs, but his voice is so good you kind of forget the lyrics. 4/5

Listened to this album many times. Electric Funeral stood out this time. 5/5
