1001 Albums Summary

Just ok. Sounds like he’s crying the lyrics.

More familiar with this album. Better than I remembered. Full of bangers except the last song.

Not a genre I usually listen to but was impressed even though I only recognized a song or 2. Liked it better than the Cure. Should have given that 2 stars.

Other than the MTV songs didn’t know this album very well but it thought it was a pretty good mix of bluesy rock. Forgot about TV Dinners. Good video for that one too.

Wanted to hear some more blues but this sounded a bit too big band for me.

Not my genre. Sounded very piano bar / lounge singer to me. She did sound great but not what I listen to. Highlight for me was hearing just a gigolo.

Just ok. All over the map. Very 70s sounding. Sounded like b-sides and way too long.

Not a huge fan of Neil Young’s voice. Cinnamon Girl’s alright but the rest of the album is somewhat forgettable. At least it’s shorter than the Stills’ album.

Not a huge talking heads fan. His jacket doesn’t fit.

Awesome album. Great song after great song.

Did not like this album and couldn’t understand why each song had multiple bad versions.

U2 was huge in the 80s and 90s but I was never that into them. This album epitomizes them for me. The first 3 songs were singles and were everywhere when the album came out. Listening to the start of the album I was thinking 5 stars. But the rest of the album is just ok.

Was never exposed to much Blues but I liked this. Not sure if I’d listen every day but can appreciate the history and influence on other music.

Wish I hadn’t listened past the ten songs. The first part was ok. Seemed like he changed his voice for every song.

Not sure who I was thinking of but I thought XTC was a hip hop band. This album was not bad considering I didn’t expect it. Some songs seemed like 69s sons. 1 song could have been a James Bond them. Interesting.

Ok. Not as good as Nevermind, or maybe I just wasn’t in the Nirvana mood yesterday.

Love her voice. Fast Cars is one of my favourite songs ever. Liked a lot of songs on this album.

Not a jazz guy but I didn’t mind this. Not something I’d listen to all the time but might be good for background music.

First track says it all for me. ‘Being Boring.’ I couldn’t tell one song from another and all I could think of listening to the drum machine was that it sounded like Tenny on his keyboard.

Not bad. Way better than Pet Shop Boys. At least the songs didn’t all sound the same.

Interesting. I got Latin and big band vibes mixed with African drums. Not something I’d listen to regularly though.

Awful. Overproduced saccharine drivel. That ‘Help’ cover is 1 step from being a crime against humanity. The songs sounded like sitcom themes or elevator music.

Much better than the last one. Real music by real musicians.

I’m not sure I’m the target audience for this music. But to paraphrase Mr. Burns “I’m no music critic but I know what I hate. And I don’t hate this.” Good voice, interesting lyrics, and maybe most importantly every song didn’t sound the same.

Never heard of these guys. Got like a new wave / big band jazz vibe from. Not great but not awful.

Heavy electronica to start with and I was thinking I did not like it at all. But as the album progressed some songs were a bit more listenable.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this full album before. Surprised there were a couple of songs I didn’t recognize (Wanted Man, Darlin’ Companion, Starkville City Jail). Also a bit surprised he played San Quentin twice back to back. Still, Johnny is Johnny.

A little before my time so haven’t listened to him much. Solid album.

‘Coat of Many Colours’ was one of Grandma’s favourite songs. A couple of songs I hadn’t heard before but overall a good album.

The falsetto threw me off a bit at first, but once I got used to that it turned out to be an ok album.

Not bad but nothing really stood out for me on this album.

For me this is the first hip hop I heard growing up. The first crossover mainstream rap with Walk this Way. Which also made me aware of Aerosmith for the first time, as I didn’t realize they were still around at the time. Some good songs on here like It’s Tricky.

I thought only Maiden had 18 minute songs. A little weird and all over the map for me. On a different day in a different mood I might have liked it better.

Jazzy, but not Monster’s Inc. jazzy.

I liked the first half of the album a lot but it kind of fizzled out in the back end for me.

Very middle of the road. No songs jumped out at me as either good or bad. Would not listen to again.

Didn’t recognize any of the songs but this was a solid album. Also, their Spotify about the artist is maybe the most creative I’ve ever seen.

Never heard of this band. Some weird songs and lyrics, but overall it was ok.

Very international vibe with Spanish, French and English. Some of it felt Caribbean, some like Enrique Iglesias, though that might have been the Spanish.

Very drum centric. Reminded me of a rawer less produced version of the guy we had a couple of weeks back.

Not a huge punk fan but at first thought this wasn’t as bad as I expected. But then I thought of the SNL skit with Fred Armison and Thatcher and couldn’t listen to the album with any critical detachment after that.

Reminds me of Emmy Lou Harris or Mary Chapin Carpenter. Never heard of her before but it was pretty good.

More Public Enemy than Run DMC. Rawer and more stripped down sound. Interesting lyrics as well but not something I’d probably listen to

Not my favourite. Found it a bit boring.

Again with the semi punk sound. Too much discord for my liking.

I’d never heard of this band. All over the map on this album with Latin, rap, with maybe some reggae thrown in. In the end though just ok for me.

Finally a recognizable band with solid music. Not my favourite Beatles album, but still the Beatles.

Only had heard Pinball Wizard before but I really liked the overall album. Good concept album and good music. Can’t wait to compare it to The Elder when it comes up.

Singles on this album were all time classics. The rest was just ok. One of the 11 cassettes I got from Columbia house for a penny when I was a kid.

Heard of the band but didn’t recognize any of the songs. Not too bad though.

Solid debut album.

Not a fan. Never liked his voice.

Peak 70s music. Funky and catchy. A couple of songs were more easy listening but I liked the funky ones better.

Liked this better than I expected. The hits were good but surprisingly the rest of the album wasn’t bad either.

Sounded like crazy elevator music or tv show themes from the 70s.

Good album all the way through. Classic 70s rock.

Pretty good. A couple of tracks where it seemed the vocals were downplayed a bit, i.e. too quiet compared to the music. Still surprisingly it was better than I expected.

Female singer had a yelly annoying voice and the male was worse. The songs were juvenile sounding lyrically, almost like they were written for an SNL skit. Not great.

Not a big Rush fan but this was better than I thought. Great music and Lee’s voice wasn’t as annoying as usual.

Punny band name was the best part of the album.

An awful album. Every song was so repetitive, both lyrically and musically. Give a group of 10 year olds a month and they could come up with a better album, even if they didn’t know how to play instruments.

Great album. Lots of good songs.

I liked this even better than the previous Beatles album.

Weird and different, but not in a good way. Did not like the opening song at ad ll, and it didn’t really improve from there.

Very easy listening, soft rock vibes, but not in a bad way. Surprised this guy is from Steely Dan, since I’m not a fan of theirs but I didn’t mind this.

Didn’t mind this album at all.

Interesting album. 70s vibes with a wide range. Some country rock and some songs that could have been lifted from Sgt Pepper’s movie.

Very upbeat vibes. Songs seemed a bit long and repetitive though.

Very good album. Interesting lyrics, musically diverse. Fun to listen to.

Great singles and the rest of the album was pretty good as well.

Never heard of this band before. Some experimental music, but not too impressive overall.

Now we’re talking. Classic album. 3 good songs, 3 great songs and 3 all timers. Also 3 iconic intros. One of my favourite albums ever.

Outside of the singles just okay I thought.

A bit weird at times. Would probably have liked to hear them sing it all in Welsh.

Again, never heard of this band before. Some interesting parts musically and lyrically.

Not what I was expecting from the Kinks. Very 60s feel for this album. Fun, unserious vibe.

Easy listening / adult contemporary feel. Not bad but that last instrumental song lasted forever and sounded like church music gone wrong.

Just didn’t like this album. Not sure why.

Not my favourite Boss album but a good one nonetheless.

Was better than I thought it was going to be. Interesting mix of older 60s style pop and newer 70s / 80s music with some great singles.

Best thing about this album was it was short. Crappy covers mixed with a few mediocre hits performed live just ain’t doing it for me.

Very discordant and shouty at times. Not real pleasant to listen to.

Better than I expected. Some interesting songs and lyrics.

Excellent album. Covers with his own spin that totally suit his voice and style.

First time hearing the full album. Solid outside the hits.

A little too much punk for my taste.

Not much here. Nothing offensive but also nothing inspiring. Just blah.

Never heard of this band and I can see why. I could have copy and pasted my last review. Britpop that you couldn’t pick out of a lineup.

This album was pretty good. Not my favourite genre but he sang with passion.

Again, never heard of this artist. It was a weird adult pop / easy listening vibe that didn’t appeal to me at all.

Old school girl pop. Not bad, though some songs like Mockingbird were very repetitive. 50s / 60s feel for sure.

Never listened to a lot of Beach Boys. Ok, but i probably was expecting more.

Not my genre. Just couldn’t get into it. He’s obviously tremendously talented but I didn’t recognize much and didn’t really like it. Plus the album was way too long.

This album was long. It seemed about 3 or 4 hours.

A lot of weird talking and musical choices. Reminded me more of a Monty Python album than a real band. Not sure if I believe Spotify when they say this band rivalled the Stones and the Who.

I was expecting more but outside of ‘Imagine’ I thought it was just ok.

Heard of this band but didn’t realize all the music was instrumental. Not bad though.

A little too experimental and weird for me.

Lyrics written by a 7th grader, annoying vocals, and basic music do not make for a good album.

Finally a good album. One song kept it from a 5 star rating. Everything else on the album was great.

Very 70s. Aside from the big hit the rest was listenable.

Interesting mix of blues, folk and country. I thought it was pretty good for an older album.

Didn’t have any of their biggest hits and the album was fairly nondescript.

Some songs weren’t too bad but there was a little too much of that thrash’s, discordant sound in others.

Excellent album. No bad songs and 5 or 6 absolute bangers. Their best album among many great ones.

I liked this better than his other album on here.

Not awful though I could have done without the 10 minute bongo tribute to close out the album.

Not sure what kind of pictures this band has of the author but that’s the only way to explain them having 2 albums on the list let alone one. Combination of bad James Bond song with 80s tv theme show music with whispered vocals in a weird falsetto. Awful.

Better than I expected considering it’s Brit pop.

Pretty solid old school rock album. No song jumped out as a real banger but no no duds either.

This album wasn’t too bad. Good mix of African rhythms with more modern guitar.

Music wasn’t bad and the songs were short, but I got tired of the shouty singer really quickly.

A pretty good album. Leans more rock than pop. A couple of good singles as well.

Song writing is great but his voice takes a little getting used to. Also, his picture on the album cover looks like a still from the Godfather.

Started out not bad but got old quickly. A little too discordant and repetitive for me.

Better than I remembered. A lot of good songs.

Pretty good overall. Better than the other R.E.M. album.

Not bad for a live album. Considering the poor audio quality and lengthy solos it still had some good songs.

Old school folk. Never heard of the guy but was really impressed.

Not my typical genre but the quality of this album shines through. Hard not to like it.

Although I’m a fan of the Eagles I’d never listened to this whole album. Outside of the big hits the rest of the album was pretty good and Eagles like.

Fairly innocuous pop fare. Nothing stood out as great or especially bad.

A little too experimental for my taste.

Off the wall and hard to take seriously. Weird cover of satisfaction.

Outside of my usual listening but interesting album.

Brit-popish but not too bad. Surprised I never heard of this band before.

Interesting. Didn’t listen to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel outside of their hits. The old people talking song was a bit weird but everything else was pretty good.

I thought it a couple of songs started out ok but they all seemed to quickly devolve into repetitive synth and drum machine crap.

Quite mediocre. All the songs sounded the same and again, too much synth.

Nice to have a palate cleanser after all the drum machines with some old school Beatles.

Not a fan. Weird music, whispered falsetto vocals. Would not recommend.

All time classic album and one of the most influential bands ever. Over half the songs are legendary. RIP Ozzy.

Awful. 1st album I stopped before the end. Juvenile, discordant, repetitive. Just unlistenable.

Very 70s easy listening vibes. Folky with some generic jazz elements thrown in. Just ok for me.

Repetitive and distracting trying to figure out where the music was sampled from. Thinking “is that the Wizard from Black Sabbath “ is not enough to override “this song is not very good.”

Some old school hip hop. Not my genre but ok.

Interesting live album. Good old time R&B/Soul.

Descriptive album title. Says it all. Not bad background music I guess.

Wasn’t too bad. Very 60s. Another band I’ve never heard of.

A Motown adjacent, if not Motown band. There were even a couple of songs I recognized. A bit weird that so many of their songs were called pt 1, pt 2 etc. but overall not bad.

Excellent album. True classic. Springsteen’s versatility is on full display. A departure from his other albums but still great.

Weird lyrics and vocals, not great music. Overall I didn’t like this album a great deal.

Even though I’ve never listened to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel their brilliant lyrics and song writing are hard to ignore. I really liked this album.

A solid album. Not a huge Bowie fan but thi wasn’t alright.

Sounded a bit British Invasiony but apparently they’re American.

Classic album. I’m slowly becoming more of a Dylan fan. His lyrics are always interesting and require full attention.

Some experimental stuff that wasn’t too bad. A bit long but ok for the genre.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard her sons before, though I had heard of her. It’s not a genre I usually listen to and found I didn’t like the music or her lyrics for the most part, and her voice became grating after awhile.

A little too emo for me. The singer sounded like he was going to start crying any second.

Weird music mix combined with barely audible vocals for much of the album didn’t impress me.

Better than the last few albums. Maybe a little too much talking on some tracks.

More old school hip hop.

Never listened to Elvis Costello but had heard of him. Very middle of the road stuff for me. Nothing offensive but nothing exciting either.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard any of these songs before. But Elvis is Elvis and I still thought the album was pretty good.

Solid album with a couple of absolute bangers. And the videos are excellent too.

Good Old School Southern rock. I was impressed with the number of solid tracks on here. Without Freebird I would have given it 5 stars.

An Indie Rock classic. A great mix of heartfelt lyrics and solid music.

Original Gangsta Rap. Lyrics were more violent than political like Public Enemy. Never my genre but not too bad.

Soft rock / easy listening. Again, nothing offensive but nothing stood out either.

I was never a huge fan of Queen. This album was fine but there were no big hits on it. Mercury has a great voice and the music is good but it just doesn’t do anything for me.

Not a bad album with some interesting songs but it seemed to last forever.

Hard to go wrong with Paul Simon. Not my go to listen but I liked this album.

I just can’t get into this genre of music. It just doesn’t appeal to me.

A couple of weird discordant songs but overall pretty solid.

Funky and high energy. I liked it much more than I expected.

A couple of catchy tunes with a couple weird songs and musical choices mixed in. Overall, pretty good.

Hadn’t heard of this band before but I thought they were not too bad. Good alt rock vibe.

Wide range of musical styles in one album. The good songs were good but some of the filler was a little too out there for my taste.

Not as impactful as her earlier albums but it’s Adele, so still pretty good.

Good 60s pop rock. Good guitar and vocals. I could listen to this again.

I was never a big talking heads fan but this album was better than expected. Not as many weird interludes.

Interesting and eclectic. Not my genre but it was not a bad listen.

Great heavy metal album by one of the best bands. A little on the heavy side for my taste but hard to argue with songs like Battery and Master of Puppets.

Some ok songs but the album was way too long.

Outside of the singles it was a bit jazzier/funkier than I expected. Still pretty good.

Not as good as their other album but still ok.

Short, simple hard driving songs.

Not as discordant as some punk. I didn’t mind it overall.

More punk, this time with a rockabilly flair. Not my favourite genre. This was a bit boring for me.

Kind of generic sounding and boring.

Again, Radiohead was better than I expected. Vocals are a bit tiresome after a while but musicianship is great.

Classic but I always thought Pink Floyd was a bit overrated.

Novelty of his voice wears thin quickly. Some songs weren’t bad but a couple were really awful.

Not as good as her first album but still pretty good.

Interesting old school country. Lot of behind the scenes cuts and collabs with country legends on classic songs. A little raw but ok.

Kinda all over the map. Lounge singer, R&B, novelty, a bit of pop. None of it was great though.

Generic, bland Brit pop.

Not the greatest U2 album. The singles are mid and the rest of the album is not great.

Interesting to hear British rap. A little too much talking knocked down the rating a bit.

Crazy that this album had 43 songs. Too bad none of them were any good. There were a couple of listenable songs I guess but for the most part is was self indulgent.

Pretty good alt rock. Different voice that somehow straddles the line between interesting and annoying. The hits are good and the filler songs are alright.

Good voice. Alright music for the genre.

Old school reggae. I didn’t recognize any of the songs but they were pretty good.

Some of the music is ok but the singer sounds likes he’s going to cry.

2nd Doors’ album I believe. Very ‘60s and very Doors.

Album was a bit all over the place. Some juvenile sounding stuff, some slower songs, some more poppy. Overall not too bad b

A cross between elevator music and the soundtrack to a tv movie of the week where one of love interests gets cancer. Borderline unlistenable.

Classic album by a great band. A bit before my time and I never listened to them too much growing up. Never had any of their albums. But hard to argue with the classics.

Better than I expected. Even recognized some songs. Some punkier songs but some had melodies.

Old school metal. I was always more of an Iron Maiden fan but this is a pretty good album from top to bottom.

Never heard of this band but I thought they were a pretty good rock/metal band/grunge band. Good guitar and the singer had a good voice.

Good album with some classic song. I’m not the biggest fan of Young’s vocals but he’s a legend.

Kind of soppy sweet pop music. But maybe the most jarring cover I’ve ever heard. Hearing “I am Iron Man” by what sounds like a 12 year old girl huffing helium certainly caught my attention. Not sure whether to add a star or subtract one.

Good, back to basics country, with strong vocals and none of that nonsense like auto tune.

Very funky 70s vibe.

Sounds like he’s about to cry. Kind of a downer to listen to.

Bland and vapid pop with boring emo singer.

Kind of whispery and hard to hear the vocals for a few songs. Ok but not my favourite.

Wasn’t a fan of this album. Don’t mind David Bowie but not this album. I originally thought it may be an early album of his.

Boring, generic Brit pop. Couldn’t tell one song from another and none good.

Not my type of music. Could be good but I don’t link the over synthesized, repetitive songs.

Pretty good. A couple of recognizable songs and the rest was solid.

1st I’ve heard the whole album. Bluesier than I expected. Good album with some classic hits.

Classic rap. Not my genre but I appreciate the talent.

Very 60s album. A bit up and down but overall ok. Middle of the road.

Some ok songs mixed with some weird stuff. More neven for me than groundbreaking.

Some great songs coupled with some classic Metallica heavy metal. A bit more melodic than previous albums.

I bought this album just before my wedding when it first came out. Loved it then and love it now.

Good old Motown album. A couple of different sounding signs but overall had that Motown feel.

I find the vocals whiny and depressing.

Apart from Ace of Spades I didn’t know this album, or much of their catalogue. I really liked it. Heavy but not overwhelming.

Wasn’t expecting much but I didn’t mind this.

Never liked Steely Dan and this album didn’t do anything to change my opinion. Didn’t even have any of their good songs.

Not as familiar with her later stuff but I thought this was not too bad.

I did not like this album. Repetitive and annoying at parts. Feels like something a 10 year old could have made with a mixing app.

Solid Beastie Boys. Not my favourite album of theirs but ok.

The vocals were too high and shrill and the music wasn’t too great either.

Not great. Juvenile and boring.

Not as good as Nirvana or Soundgarden. Too inconsistent and too many weird interludes.

Didn’t realize how good this album was. Singles are straight bangers. Rest of the album was really good as well. Great lyrics, great vocals, great music.

I’m pretty sure I’m not the target audience but I did not really like this album. The music seemed generic, the talking interludes were weird. Not a fan.

It felt like 70s elevator music mixed with a kids’ tv show theme. Not good at all.

A little too discordant and shouty for my taste.

Vaguely remember this band from back in the day. I had forgotten them for years and if this album is any indication they are still pretty forgettable.

Didn’t have their big hits but it was a solid effort. A little laid back but good vocals and music.

Decent early Green Day album. Couple of hits and some decent filler.

A little too mellow for my tastes. Might be good to help someone go to sleep at night.

Classic AC/DC. Great album with great music.

Weird, discordant at times. Some songs seemed not too bad, others were borderline unlistenable.

I find the vocals a little too emo to really like the album.

Old school rap. Interesting and engaging.

Very bluesy. Good album but because it’s live a bit too many solos and tangents.

Great album. Mellow and laid back, but full of bangers and interesting songs.

Hardcore rap. Liked it ok.

Not bad 70s rock. Weird that Quiet Riot had more success with Slade’s songs than they did.

Apparently these guys were contemporaries of REM. I never heard of them before 1001 albums.

This album was fine musically and vocally, but it just didn’t appeal to me.

Never heard an album like this before. Lots of energy. Maybe too much.

Rod Stewart has such a distinctive voice. I don’t know that I was familiar with any of the songs but I still liked the album overall.

For a punk band this was better than I expected. Less discordant and more melodic.

A couple of hits and solid overall, although her voice is not my favourite.

Too much of the death metal voice and weird music and lyrics.

Other Radiohead albums have been ok but this one seemed more experimental maybe and I didn’t like it as much.

Interesting and upbeat. Great rhythms.

Just couldn’t get it. I respect the artist but not my cup of tea.

Weird album with some countrified covers. I’d heard the name but not the music. Overall it was alright.

Not as good as the last Willie album but still pretty solid.

Little too heavy and shouty for my taste.

Half decent music and vocals.

A bit raw with whiny / slightly off key vocals but decent guitar.

Not my favourite grunge band of the era, and grunge is not my favourite genre, but this was not bad.

Old school rock with some classic songs. Very bluesy vibe overall.

Weird and crazy. Scary vocals.

A little long and all over the map. Island sounds, old timey, 70s rock, easy listening. It was ok but not very focused.

Kind of bland and boring.

One of his earlier works, you can tell he’s raw and not as polished. Still good though.

Great album. Her vocals are amazing and every song is a banger. Love this album.

Judging by the variety of instruments and weirdness of the lyrics I think we can safely say this band’s creativity may been fuelled by some illegal drugs. Very 60s sounding but too juvenile and offbeat.

Not what I would usually listen to. But good vocals and interesting music.

Never heard of this band but they sounded ok. Typical 90s music with some grunge leanings.

Good instrumental album. Interesting and low key at the same time. Great background music.

Very 60s vibe with rock/folk/psychedelic mixture. Good overall.

Great Canadian band with one of the greatest songs of all time, the Weight.

Great album. One banger after another. I remember getting this when it first came out so some nostalgia bias for sure but I love this album.

Interesting album. More listenable for the most part than I expected, though the dnd got away from them a bit. Kind of folky and laid back.

A pretty solid Christmas album with a lot of the classics. A couple of variations from the norm but overall good.

Not a fan of this album. Sounded like they were experimenting with how many weird sounds they could make their instruments make while imitating a lovesick cat singing.

Not sure how these guys have multiple albums on the list. Ok but nothing groundbreaking.

A little too soft and slow for my taste. Also didn’t like the crying baby in the kid song. Not pleasant.

Too repetitive and juvenile. Out of my wheelhouse for sure.

Unlike the Fatboy Slim album this was interesting and engaging even if it isn’t normally a genre I listen to.

For an early Brit punk type band they were fairly listenable. Not overly complicated or sophisticated but still had some ok moments.

Typical early 2000s album. The hits are good, filler is filler.

Legendary artist somewhat outside of my experience. This album was energetic, although bluesier than I expected from hearing his later stuff. Captured his presence well.

Sounded more like sound effects than an album. Not a fan.

Sounded like a fake battle of the bands band from a bad 80s comedy. The bad guys who are all doom and gloom. Cartoonish sounding.

Never really listened to this when it came out. Ok, but some weird interludes and songs.

It was standard 90s punk/grunge fare. Not as good as some of the bigger bands but ok.

Never heard of this band before but the album was ok.

Worst kind of live album. Self indulgent with solos and weird sound effects. Was not a fan.

Great album. Makes you wonder what they used to play at graduations before When September Comes.

Not sure why but I read this as Pink Floyd and thought this should be good. Spoiler: not Pink Floyd and not good.

Very 60s version of the Monkees, but none of their big hits.

Another band I’d never heard of. Interesting mix of genres almost sounded 90s. Not a bad listen.

The hits were great and the rest of the album sounded like ABBA.

A folk pop classic. Great harmonies and some good tunes.

Not a bad album with some decent songs.

Great artist. Pretty good album with a good mix of tunes.

Queen is not my favourite band but this album was better than I expected.

Kind of boring and generic sounding.

This must have been their political phase. Too much focus on preachy messages rather than good music.

All over the place musically but not interesting enough for more listening.

The songs were short if not good. A couple of songs were ok but the rest were forgettable. Not bad but just not catchy or interesting.

Not bad for a live album. It’s a trade off between the energy of a concert and precision of the studio.

Too much gimmicky stuff for me. Don’t mind instrumental at time but this didn’t do it for me.

Reminded me of a depressed B52s. Not my kind of music.

Somewhat juvenile. Didn’t wow with any songs.

Great voice singing some iconic show tunes. Not sure we needed 6 discs and over 3 hours of it though.

Super long songs that sounded like guys jamming in their garage. Too many weird sound effects as well. Not for me.

Apparently this band was into experimental rock. I think they need more work in the lab. Discordant and weird. Some experiments don’t need to be released to the public.

Kind of background music. No strong opinions either way.

With the albums we’ve heard this week I wasn’t expecting much, and it started off a bit slow, but the rest of the album was actually not too bad.

I know he’s a great artist but I just can’t get into his music. I wasn’t a fan of this album

Interesting lyrics and music. Hard to get past the mysoginism.

Old school jazz. Interesting although not what I usually listen to.

Great album with some classic songs.

A lot of redundancy on this album. I only really know Cars and thought it was coming on about 5 times. Every song sounds the same.

Pretty laid back. Didn’t recognize any songs but listenable.

Not bad indie rock. Interesting with different instruments being used.

Interesting that Spotify says this band is 1 of the most important bands of the 90s. Never heard of them. They were ok but not groundbreaking or anything.

Reading that this artist was known for electronic and fusion I didn’t think I’d like this but I was pleasantly surprised. Some different songs that were a bit out there were mixed with some surprisingly good vocss as ls and music.

Wasn’t a fan of this. Gimmicky at times, boring at others.

Excellent album. Some classic tunes and just great musicianship overall.

Never listened to her much back in the day. Typical bubblegum pop music. Nothing groundbreaking or overly offensive either.

Not bad. Mix of old school hip hop with some poppier sound.

A little all over the place. Not as good as some others in the genre.

Sympathy for the Devil may be my favourite Stones song. Great album.

Very 70s cop show music vibe. First time I heard Davis.

A couple of big songs on this album. Overall pretty good. Meat Loaf always seemed like a lower tier star though.

Had their Urban Hymns album but never heard this one before. It was very 90s indie and not bad.

Good older rap with a nice musical interludes.

Not as discordant and chaotic as some other punk type music. It was listenable.

Interesting and fun music for the most part but songs seemed to last forever.

Didn’t recognize a lot of the songs but it was very much Loretta. Don’t Come Home A Drinkin’ is worth the price of admission here.

Good album with some absolute bangers. I think this band is underrated. They deliver straight forward rock mixed with some humour at times.

Decent album but not their best. Only 1 single I recognize and that one not great.

One single I recognized and the rest was decent. Different than Genesis but still ok.

Just sounded like sound effects with some chanting and moaning in the background. Not a fan.

Pretty mellow folk but I liked it.

Decent album. Some good songs but nothing great.

It was like bad elevator music or on hold music.

Great album by a great band. Never one of my go to bands growing up but can’t deny their influence and talent.

Never listened to Snoop when I was younger. Good rap album. Hard to believe his image has changed so much.

Weird high vocals. Didn’t understand the lyrics and got annoying really quickly.

Well, at least it was short.

Didn’t like the last one by him as much but this one was better.

Not as good as the previous Van Morrison but ok.

Interesting. Some songs reminded me of Nirvana, some a more emo s as lt band. Overall better than I expected.

Good album. Love that you can hear his accent when he sings.

Not bad. Never heard much of his music before but i can appreciate it.

Always thought Depeche Mode was a bit overrated. Too emo and depressing for me.

Some was ok but too much sounded like background music in a kids tv show. Annoying kids tv show.

Not as bad as I thought it might be. Couple of half decent songs.

Repetitive and boring. Very disco. Not great.

Not exceptional but not offensive either.

Discordant at times, never very listenable. Not a fan.

Very bland. Nothing special.

All time classic with some all time great songs. Never listened to them a lot growing up but some of these songs are part of culture.
