I miss this indie, a little bit ethereal, but also with a punch and cool voice
Duran Duran · 1 likes
4/5
Not my favourite new romantic album, songs are a little too similar to each other, but I do love my new romantics, and last 2 songs were just perfect.
Queen · 1 likes

The Allman Brothers Band
3/5
Solid jam, blues rock, not really my style, not really my song lenghts
Beatles
4/5

R.E.M.
4/5
Unpolished, but still decent classic R.E.M.
Willie Nelson
3/5
Absolutely acoustic, with a wonderful voice of someone who lived a life. Moving, minimalistic approach to country with some nice storytelling. Just wish there was a little less of monotony

Subtle, magical... not masterpiece like "Pink Moon", but very, very good
PJ Harvey
4/5
It's just cool, poppy, varied, without losing alternative edge, with this unmistakeable voice

Meat Loaf
4/5
Theatrical, not to listen to too many times, but impressive
Elbow
5/5
Fantastic, moving, simplicity in vocals
The Slits
3/5
Definitely a surprise, pop punk album full of reggae & ska flavours. Quite uneven
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Bluesy rock'n'roll, not feeling it
Talking Heads
5/5
Talking Heads' magnum opus. No one does weird pop like David Byrne.

The Specials
4/5
Never knew ska could be that varied, really liked it

Fine 90s rock

Shivkumar Sharma
2/5
Out of my depth
Prefab Sprout
5/5
Beautiful, kinda nostalgic sophisto pop
Count Basie & His Orchestra
3/5
Cool, 50s lush sound, wish for just a little more variety
Beck
4/5
Not my favourite version of Beck, unpolished blend of genres, but I can't deny it works
Kanye West
4/5
Kanye's magnum opus, for better or worse
Sex Pistols
3/5
I guess I got used to heavier sounds, I like it much more now than I used to
The Stooges
2/5
Just no... Too much tuneless noise
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Fine reggea, not much to add
The Rolling Stones
4/5
When Rolling Stones were still fighting The Beatles... good stuff
David Bowie
5/5
Overlooked David Bowie, going into more artsy directions, varied, good music
Ryan Adams
4/5
Alternative country with licks of rock'n'roll, really nice, little tiring by the end
The Auteurs
4/5
Pop, rock, early indie, melodic, fuzzy and very British, I like it a lot
The Beach Boys
5/5
How not to be cliche... perfection, masterpiece, timeless. I guess I was supposed to get it right after Brian Wilson's death...
Parliament
3/5
Funky funky... wish the songs (besides The Known One) were catchier
Metallica
4/5
As classic rock as it gets... the heaviest music I can stand, even feel like headbanging
The Zombies
4/5
Love me some good 60's baroque pop
Black Sabbath
4/5
Classic moody heaviness with melodies and Ozzy's characteric vocals, liked it a lot even if it would never be my first pick
Air
5/5
Wordless, nostalgic, electronic, very captivating sound
Ozomatli
3/5
Pop with street and latin flavours... interesting
Pavement
3/5
A little too much chaos and noise for me
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
I miss this indie, a little bit ethereal, but also with a punch and cool voice
Alice Cooper
4/5
Rock'n'roll with theatricality, appreciate the variety
Peter Gabriel
4/5
Peter Gabriel at its peter gabrielest
Sufjan Stevens
4/5
Indie classic, it's alright, prefer "Carrie & Lowell"
Talk Talk
5/5
Top 20 out of the 1001... perfect, enchanting, melancholic, even if it makes me think of autumn more than spring
The Mamas & The Papas
5/5
Shouldn't be saying that knowing what I know about the band, but that's as perfect as the sound gets of the 60s flower power pure joy... I still have my "The Mamas & The Papas Greatest Hits" somewhere, so may not be objective
Pretenders
4/5
Love the vocals, love the guitar work, album starts more rockish, but becomes more melodic later
Bob Dylan
3/5
Dylan in his more polished, self-reflective version
Hawkwind
2/5
Space rock... a little long for my taste, too much going on, too much talking

4/5
Springsteen going a little country with all the harmonica, enjoyed it
The Velvet Underground
3/5
Early alternative music - has its moments, but generally not for me
Beastie Boys
2/5
I don't need to like all the classic stuff, I need melody behind all the raps. Annoying after 2 songs
Stan Getz
4/5
I'm not a jazz girl, but these connections with samba were surprisingly smooth...
Nina Simone
4/5
Sweet, introspective, raw, Nina Simone's vocals are out of the world
Paul Simon
4/5
African influences add this music a sense of wonder of the unknown, vocals match perfectly
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
90s rock... fine, with glimpses of being something more interesting
David Bowie
4/5
Bowie at his artsiest, not my favourite, but still great
Leonard Cohen
5/5
Magical, nostalgic, music of an older world
3/5
Artsy, psychodelic, a little tiring after a while
Mekons
3/5
Totally forgot about this one... has nice moments, but a little too unhinged, unsure why it's on the list
Afrika Bambaataa
2/5
Old school hip hop with bits of electro, just not my style, these songs are too long
Sarah Vaughan
4/5
Classy vocal jazz
Jimmy Smith
3/5
This organ adds something to jazz... still not something for a whole album for me
Buffalo Springfield
3/5
Sample of early California rock, nice, something missing
The Temptations
4/5
Classic Motown sound, fantastic
Fiona Apple
3/5
The sound of 2020 lockdown... a little overwhelming, 10.00 album shouldn't include "Ladies"
Can
3/5
Nothing for me here, at least I wasn't annoyed
Ryan Adams
4/5
Decent modern country, varied and sincere
Pixies
3/5
I'm running out of patience for Pixies
Slipknot
1/5
So much screaming, hate it
The Go-Betweens
5/5
Autumn, reflective, very British pop... love it
Kraftwerk
4/5
And the rest of electronic music was to be born... great that Kraftwerk added some pop touch without sacrificing artistic integrity
CHIC
4/5
Sound of sophisticated disco, that groove is super tight
Black Sabbath
4/5
Very classic rock, on the heavier side, but still within my taste. Rest in peace Ozzy, for the life you led, you did live for a remarkably long time
Dirty Projectors
3/5
Nice indie, nothing too revolutionary
Radiohead
4/5
Radiohead are in the league of their own... that's some mood
Beatles
4/5
I'm not going to treat it like some masterpiece, just because it's The Beatles, and I love them, but that's some quality 60s pop, still fresh after all these years
System Of A Down
1/5
Loving the voice, hating everything else
Queen
5/5
Why limit yourself to one genre, when you can go so far? Fantastic, with the best vocalist of all time
A Tribe Called Quest
3/5
Probably great for those who love hip hop, too tedious for me. Nice beats
Milton Nascimento
5/5
Something so raw and genuine about it. Love Portuguese language. One of the list's best discoveries
Madness
4/5
Fun ska pop, decent, even level
Joan Armatrading
4/5
Another surprise, 70s rock and soul found a way to work together. Never heard of Joan, and that's a pity.
Frank Zappa
3/5
How do you even cathegorize this music... it's whatever he felt like playing.
Paul Weller
3/5
Why would that album be among history's best or most memorable?
Sigur Rós
4/5
So ethereal
Joan Baez
3/5
Pretty, haunting, wish it was shorter or more varied
Megadeth
2/5
Not as bad as I expected (hate this kind of music), but still it's hard for me to listen to the whole thing
Kanye West
2/5
"Unhinged" would be the word to describe it
The Prodigy
3/5
A little bit overwhelming as a whole, still appreciate the concept
Iggy Pop
4/5
Sex, drugs & rock'n'roll... and classic upon classic. Iggy's magnus opum.
Brian Eno
3/5
I just don't get ambient, good music I guess
Frank Sinatra
4/5
Classic and classy. Not my favourite Sinatra's album, but that only proves his great output.
Queen
4/5
Would it be bad if I said that I preferred their later, more commercial phase? Oh well, I do still enjoy this.
Iron Butterfly
4/5
Nice piece of 60s psychodelia. 17 minutes of the title track is a lot though
Method Man
2/5
Still not vibing with hip hop
Keith Jarrett
2/5
I'm gonna sound uncultured, but it's so boring, it's not popular music in any way. I should appreciate the talent I guess
Jeru The Damaja
2/5
No, just no
Beck
4/5
Beck is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get... Not my favourite, but still pretty tasty
Coldplay
5/5
If Coldplay made albums like this, I can forgive what they made later
The Who
5/5
The Who getting sophisticated and emotional, love that
Elvis Costello
4/5
Cool Costello's transition towards the 90s
Orbital
4/5
Some electronic, not the kind I'd listen to for the entire album. But it actually grew on me
Aretha Franklin
4/5
What can you even say about this voice?
Rod Stewart
4/5
There's some raw quality to it with really nice melodies
The Pogues
4/5
Entering a cool Irish pub... nothing I'd put on by myself, but a fun experience
Kendrick Lamar
4/5
As much of a rap music as I can appreciate
Steve Earle
4/5
Charming guitar, a little country sound
Spiritualized
5/5
Mystical, captivating, amazing
Mercury Rev
5/5
Magical... one of the best discoveries from the list
Cat Stevens
5/5
Light and charming
Britney Spears
3/5
Cool to see 90s teen pop represented :-) can't treat it as a masterpiece though
Laibach
2/5
Creepy German covers on cheesy synths... why is it on the list?
Beastie Boys
2/5
I know it's a classic, but rap is really not my thing
The Beach Boys
4/5
Beach Boys going psychodelic, I liked it, some weird moments
Neil Young
4/5
Classy sound of 60s
Rahul Dev Burman
3/5
Don't feel like I'm qualified to judge this
Nas
3/5
I can't judge rap, sorry... I guess it's great for the fans
Cornershop
3/5
Disappointing, too disjointed, had nice moments
The Jesus And Mary Chain
3/5
I liked their other album on here more, maybe a little too much fuzz
Dr. Dre
2/5
Really not a gangsta rap girl, can't pretend I enjoyed it
5/5
Perfect Trevor Horn's production, just what I needed
Tortoise
3/5
Electronic... Prefer shorter songs
R.E.M.
3/5
Heard better from R.E.M., not sure it needed to be included, still fine
Coldplay
5/5
Sonic perfection, one of my favourite albums of all time
4/5
Epic sounding, big songs... may be a little too much at points, but generally great stuff
Machito
3/5
Classy 50's ballroom. Cool, not very diversified
Dusty Springfield
4/5
I wish I didn't already know all these songs, these versions aren't different enough. Still, those are good songs and Dusty is a good vocalist
Sonic Youth
3/5
Wish I got it...
Manu Chao
5/5
Can't be fully objective, as "Bongo Bong" is one of those nostalgic songs from my childhood, that never get played anymore; but I love the creativity of the sound, something so raw and intriguing about it
Bill Evans Trio
3/5
Jazz
Boston
4/5
70s sound without being hard or psychodelic, just super catchy
Fairport Convention
3/5
Folksy, reminds me of Joan Baez but with identity of its own. A whole album is a lot
Tom Waits
2/5
Too weird for me, couldn't finish
Neil Young
5/5
Something so earnest about this blend of country and southern rock with Young's vocal... normally not that much of my cup of tea, but I have to admire it here
Michael Jackson
4/5
When future king was starting to step up to his crown. Disco with its own spin, still not perfect
Adele
5/5
I don't get the hate in the newest reviews, it's as good as a balladeer album can be, nice, varied songs, great vocals. I actually like it more than 21
Digital Underground
2/5
I'm sorry, I tried
David Bowie
5/5
I love how it sounds almost funky, but melancolic and rock'n'roll altogether... maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but seriously, Bowie always delivers
Neneh Cherry
4/5
Fun album with cool vocals, quite uneven
The Verve
5/5
Nicely melancolic rock edge. Always had a soft spot towards this album.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Rolling Stones being classy and bluesy, I quite like it
Faust
3/5
More an experience and education that actual listening to music... I liked "Jennifer" though
Morrissey
4/5
Smiths were better... but Morrissey's music in general shouldn't be hated just because Morrissey made it
Elvis Costello
4/5
Solid Elvis Costello, I think his most classic sound
Snoop Dogg
2/5
Full rap albums, even the classic ones, are just not for me
The Jam
4/5
Clearly overlooked it the last time I listened to it, it's got that British cool
Randy Newman
4/5
Old timey film music with bad vocals, quite charming actually
Electric Light Orchestra
5/5
If Beatles were to continue being together, they'd sound like ELO, maybe, according to some. Just fantastic.
Scott Walker
4/5
Old timey adventure movie vibe, I liked it
Serge Gainsbourg
3/5
French vibe, more than music. Gainsbourg can definitely do better
Shack
4/5
Nice, if a bit forgettable (I totally had 0 recollection of this, despite hearing it at least twice before), I like its atmosphere
Talking Heads
4/5
Classic, more raw sound of Talking Heads
Ice Cube
2/5
Gangsta rap, again
Frank Sinatra
5/5
Fantastic album to start the list (chronologically), beautiful and moving
Funkadelic
4/5
Funky & cool
Christina Aguilera
5/5
This is some big album at the time, that became pretty unjustly forgotten. I appreciate her dedication to the concept, the songs are pretty varied too.
Kate Bush
5/5
Actually a perfect title for the album's vibe, Kate's voice is immaculate
Maxwell
3/5
Pretty much elevator music, even if it's still has some charm
Green Day
4/5
Catchy and fun, spirit of rock'n'roll still alive
Hot Chip
4/5
Fun indie
Eels
4/5
There's a lot of charm to this indie, light rock
Siouxsie And The Banshees
3/5
There's something striking in this madness... a little overwhelming though
Led Zeppelin
4/5
They would do better later... still, nice mix of rock'n'roll, hard rock and blues
Ali Farka Touré
3/5
I enjoy well done, world music, a little monotone for a full album though
Ray Price
3/5
There's some charm to classic, classic country
Neil Young
5/5
There's some simplicity here, the image of a Californian beach, in the afternoon, without that much sun actually works here perfectly
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
On this list's (or this site's) battle for the best album ever I'm more the "Abbey Road" person... but can't deny its rightful 5 stars. What a classic.
The Clash
5/5
Punk attitude with catchy melodies - just a classic
Fela Kuti
3/5
Another case of "appreciate the energy, wouldn't listen for the whole album"
GZA
3/5
That opening was... well, I guess I can appreciate the raps
Beck
5/5
Another beachy, contemplative album, so close after Neil Young... and both are great. You wouldn't expect this sound from Beck after only knowing "Loser"
Dead Kennedys
2/5
Loud punk... not my cup of tea, could've been worse
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Psychodelic, somehow funky 60s... there was only 1 Hendrix
Stephen Stills
4/5
Why did I remember it as more mellow and less rockish? Still a decent collection of different influences and good songs
George Michael
4/5
George Michael remains one of my favourite singers of all time, I like how he wanted to stretch creatively on this record, while still producing quality pop.
Elvis Presley
5/5
Elvis doing standards... and being surprisingly great at them. Deservedly one of the biggest comebacks in music history
Louis Prima
4/5
Straight 50s fun before rock'n'roll changed it all
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
1/5
The infamous album has finally come... If something is to turn me insane, that would be it
Ian Dury
3/5
Something between Elvis Costello and Iggy Pop... nice, uneven
Buena Vista Social Club
4/5
Latin class of working people... I don't know what to say, I just feel it
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
3/5
Salsa! Nice
The Sugarcubes
3/5
Sounds like Bjork... not surprise it's Icelandic :-) there's some interesting energy to it, sometimes works more, sometimes less
R.E.M.
5/5
R.E.M. going soft and wistful... call me basic, but it's their most popular album for a reason, it truly stood the test of time
John Martyn
3/5
A little bit of blues, a little bit of psychodelic... certainly didn't expect it, I guess I need some hooks
Beatles
4/5
Still sounding surprisingly fresh and energetic. Even if its the worst of Beatles' albums on the list it's still great
Frank Black
2/5
Didn't know what to expect from the cover... it wasn't that. Why was it a double album, just noise, that was done much better before
Tears For Fears
5/5
That's exactly my music - 80s sophistication.
Sugar
2/5
Eh... just not very memorable
Badly Drawn Boy
5/5
I don't care if it's too long, inessential for the list... on such a gray, rainy day this softness works for me. I'd say it sounds pretty modern for 2000 too.
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Minimalism in Stevie's music
The Who
4/5
Classic 60s rock, filled with evergreens, surprisingly varied
Malcolm McLaren
3/5
I gotta say - a lot of unexpected turns. Music was pleasant enough
D'Angelo
4/5
Smooth and sophisticated. Rest in peace D'Angelo
Eagles
4/5
Won't quote Big Lebowski here, just a decent piece of 70s music
Everything But The Girl
4/5
One of relatively few albums I actually own in physical form. I like Everything But The Girl, so underrated, just miss a little catchiness
Wilco
3/5
I don't know, I liked Yankee Hotel, but I'm just not vibing with it
AC/DC
3/5
It is a classic, what can I say.. a little too repetitive for my taste
Green Day
4/5
Very solid rock - I like ballads and more energetic tracks equally
The Velvet Underground
2/5
Piece of alternative history, not exactly very musical
Nick Drake
5/5
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. Why couldn't Nick Drake be appreciated in his lifetime...
OutKast
4/5
It's a classic, it's pretty varied, a little long
The Band
5/5
There's some warmth to this music, lightness, nostalgia... really speaks to me
The Prodigy
3/5
Unique electronic sound, can't deny it, a little too intensive for my taste
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
Nice surprise, a change of pace after Rumours, still sounding beautiful and rich
The Modern Lovers
3/5
Not really my style, appreciate for the time being
Ministry
3/5
I hate heavy stuff, but I guess it wasn't the most grating to my ears
Tom Tom Club
4/5
You can definitely see Talking Heads wasn't just a David Byrne's baby... fun and eclectic and the music history can thank for "Genius Of Love"
King Crimson
5/5
Masterpiece, even if it's not easy to hear at times. "Epitaph" is one of the greatest songs ever written.
The Soft Boys
3/5
A little bit of punk, a little bit of surf rock... not my cup of tea
N.W.A.
3/5
Classic gangsta rap, revolutionary for its time, not for me
Prince
4/5
It's Prince, it's classic. Not on "Purple Rain"'s level though
Fred Neil
4/5
Something so earthy in this combination of rock and country, an album I would've never found if it wasn't for this list
Steve Winwood
4/5
Cool early 80s sound
King Crimson
3/5
That was some very quick return to King Crimson. Unfortunately, a downgrade too
Pink Floyd
5/5
One of "the big ones". 100% deservedly so.
Norah Jones
4/5
I know it's a poster child for "critics loved it, now no one cares", but it doesn't matter, I love its softness, I love Norah's voice, I love not having to think about what's cool and what's not
Lupe Fiasco
3/5
I guess the production is solid, raps are nice, so let's give it a 3, so I don't need to listen to more rap
Pulp
5/5
I don't know how popular of an opinion it is, but Pulp is the best brit pop band and this is their magnus opum
3/5
Classic country, very honest way of singing, I enjoyed it as much as I could
Michael Jackson
5/5
King Of Pop... Better than "Thriller" to me
Blondie
5/5
Good album to wake up with and get some energy
The Notorious B.I.G.
3/5
Classic raps, bad interludes, I'm still not a hip hop fan
The Kinks
4/5
Baroque pop, short stories in short musical forms, I like it a lot
Morrissey
4/5
I do like this jackass' music... preferred him with the band though
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Neil Young is definitely growing on me, both chilled and energetic
Barry Adamson
2/5
I'm confused and not willing to watch the non-existent movie. It has its moments I guess
David Holmes
2/5
Very Christmas music :-) no, seriously, why is it on the list?
Various Artists
4/5
The best Christmas collection of all time, these renditions of classics are pretty great, still can't say those songs are all masterpieces
Van Halen
4/5
I guess I'm not in the mood for big riffs, but I appreciate it I guess
Happy Mondays
4/5
Fun madchester sounds, I dig it
Goldfrapp
5/5
Pretty indie with a haunting voice. Writing album reviews is just not for me, but the album is...
Queens of the Stone Age
4/5
This is a killer rock and live band, it's loud, fun, makes you want to headbang until your neck can't take it anymore
Christina Aguilera
4/5
Litttle Mickey Mouse girl showing she's adult... Appreciate childhood bops
Pentangle
3/5
I appreciate the folksy sound, but a little too much at the same time
Leonard Cohen
4/5
That voice is unforgettable... surprisingly varied songs
The Velvet Underground
3/5
I appreciate this sound for 1967, the cover is iconic, the songs are uneven
Public Image Ltd.
1/5
Nope, that's just noise
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
Genius of Nick Cave, genius of the concept, at times a little too intense for me
Paul Simon
5/5
I love Simon's songwriting, sounds beautiful and effortless
Grant Lee Buffalo
4/5
Nice 90s piece of alternative, I like the first half more than the second half
Johnny Cash
4/5
Classic... a voice that touches your soul and make you reconsider all the prejudices towards country music
Slayer
2/5
Some very long 28 minutes... but at least there's melody somewhere
The Rolling Stones
3/5
A classic alright... not crazy about the blues
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
The whiniest voice of grunge... but somehow these songs work
Throwing Muses
2/5
Just too messy for me
Moby
4/5
Fun journey through electronic inspirations

Nah, enough with Sonic Youth for me

5/5
Brit pop going artsier, I still really like it

Blur right after Pulp... nice
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Not a sound I'd listen to for the whole album, but nice
Fela Kuti
3/5
Cool sound, not my style for so long
David Bowie
4/5
Not my favorite side of Bowie, but can't deny that he delivers
The Cars
5/5
PPPP - Perfect Punch of Power Pop
Van Morrison
4/5
Emotional, I like the variety of inspirations on board, don't love all the songs
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4/5
That's a lot of Elvis Costello albums here... but I like all of them, so I won't complain
LCD Soundsystem
5/5
A whole new, weird world of music. Thankfully, I'm digging this
Donovan
4/5
Very pretty 60s baroque sound, a tiny bit too much sitar, but still - very respectable, always liked Donovan's voice
Boards of Canada
4/5
Don't really listen to this style of music, but there was something really captivating here
Sister Sledge
4/5
Timeless disco sound
N.E.R.D
4/5
Didn't age at all, what a production
Bad Brains
2/5
Stop screaming sweetie, you're gonna hurt your throat
Joe Ely
3/5
As much as I can appreciate country...
B.B. King
4/5
Not really a blues listener, but I recognize class when I encounter it.
Alanis Morissette
4/5
Classic 90s album, Alanis' voice isn't my favourite, but she did showed a lot of personality - not just rage here.
Sabu
3/5
Honestly, fun. I like the rawness of so-called world music... not for a whole album though.
Alice In Chains
4/5
Yeah yeah classic, yeah yeah grunge
Beyoncé
4/5
That moment when Beyonce turned from one of popstars to an actual interesting artist in my eyes...
