This mix of country, indie, and alt-rock is just not appealing to me. Too laid back and meandering, its better moments are too spread out over the over-long double length album. If I liked the singer's voice more it would be more palatable.

Amazing songs/moments that still hold up even after being played a ton on the radio; best experienced as full album.

Strong singles, drags a bit in last half.

Well made 90's rock, good guitar work and vocals. I just don't enjoy this genre of rock that much, even some of its more solid examples are unlikely to rise above a 3/5.

Lame, histrionic, arena-rock vocals make this one hard to enjoy. Reminds me of Radiohead if they never made OK Computer and developed into a great band. That said, Knights of Cydonia is a goofy enjoyable single, some of the harder songs like Assassins have some decent musicianship.. that saves it from a 2 rating.

Classic album, one amazing song after another in a variety of different styles. Influenced music as a whole towards more studio experimentation and openness to including international sounds.

First few songs/singles start fairly strong, decent 2000's alt-rock, back 2/3rds of album blend together. Solid '3', nothing bad or inspiring.

Fantastic vocalist plus some great production, doesn't overstay welcome at 34 minutes.. this was a good one I hadn't listened to in awhile.

Artful, melodic folk rock/pop music.

Beautiful and tragic album released only a few days before Bowie's death, I rarely listen to this one as it takes me back to the grief I felt when I learned of his passing in 2016. So it was good this project made me listen again for the first time in years; songs are mournful but a creative and fascinating blend of jazz and industrial art rock.

Fun 90's electronic music.

A full album of pirate/irish bar-punk is just a bit too much to take. The musicianship and energy isn't entirely lacking, but this kind of music and vocals are not for me.

It's no Back to Black. While her voice is still great, none of the songs on this album do anything interesting with it and I wouldn't listen to this one again.

Classic album with some of his best songs, find myself singing along to a lot of these.

Beautiful, mournful songs, Cohen has a great voice. It's a petty quibble, but the songs are so consistently bleak... other singer-song writers can be more fun to sing along with.

Liked this one more than I thought I would, solid vocals and 90's rock. Not my preferred genre, but an ok listen. Best song: Sleep to Dream

Love Joni Mitchell's voice, but thought I would like this album more. Guess I'm comparing it to 'Blue', but not as many songs stood out. Not bad or great. Standouts: 'Help Me' 'Raised on Robbery'

Not the best Roots album, its okay. Brings in elements of other genres (Soul, techno, rock) into hip-hop, with mixed results. Standouts: The Seed 2.0, Sacrifice

Amazing classic rock album with top notch guitar playing throughout. A little long and unfocused perhaps, but even the lesser songs are charming to me. Standouts: All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Chile (both versions)

Good production, but overall low energy, dull vocals. Good background music, less enjoyable for active listening.

60's British Rock; the boundaries of Blues-Rock are being stretched with more intensity and psychedelia, but it ain't the Beatles or the Kinks. Enjoyable but don't see myself coming back to it. Standouts: 'Over, Under, Sideways, Down' 'Jeff's Boogie'

Fantastic 70's Prog-rock; this is a classic example of the genre that has great melodies alongside superb musicianship that doesn't feel self indulgent to me. Standouts: Roundabout, Long Distance Runaround

I enjoy this twangy, old-timey country music style. Album is good but blends together after a bit. Standouts: 'Let her go, God bless her' 'Kentucky'

Have no opinions on Bono or U2 as people, but they do make truly interminable, terrible music. Bono's vocals are moaning, over-dramatic and grating to listen to for one song let alone an album's worth. The music supporting him is an endless series of boring, similar sounding drones that build to an endless crescendo that never really comes. Dreading more U2 popping up on this list, isn't this supposed to be one of their best?

Sludgy, boring rock with terrible vocals, feels like something you put up with in the background while boarding a plane. 1988 album that feels like it anticipated some elements of 90's grunge and indie music.. but the parts I can't stand.

Boring 90's alt-rock, not even interesting enough to hate.

Not a 90's Brit-pop fan... while these songs aren't terrible none of them stand out or make an impact other than 'Common People', which just barely elevates this one to a 3.

This weird 60's psychedelia album is the kind of odd stuff I keep hoping I'll discover by participating in this site. At times all over the place, messy and experimental, I still enjoyed it as a whole.

The hits are very good, but the lows of this album detract from the overall experience. Maybe the sugar sweet singing and disco-pop is too much extended over a full release for me to fully love.

Well sung Ray Charles versions of country songs, though I prefer his other hits. The big band and strings arrangements don't suite some of these country songs which could use a little more grit. Standouts: 'Don't Tell Me Your Troubles', 'Teardrops in my Heart'

Really prefer Damon Albarn in Gorillaz over this 90's Brit-rock. Didn't hate or love this one. Standout: Beetlebum

Classic Black Sabbath album; amazing guitars, mix of slower, lyrical moments and great metal riffs. Standouts: great moments found throughout, particularly Snowblind, Supernaut, Laguna Sunrise

Enjoyable electronica tinged rock; first three songs are very strong, though weaker back half prevent this album from reaching a 4. Good album from band I hadn't heard of. Standouts: 'Negative Space', 'Static Resistance', 'Ullswater'

Just an amazing album; indie/art rock vocals combine with lush multi-instrumentals (I love an organ) and propulsive drumming and guitar work that keeps songs feeling urgent and in no way navel-gazing. Has a lot of songs I enjoy singing along with. I thought about giving 4 stars since there are a couple Arcade Fire albums I like more, but this is good stuff, 5 stars.

Classic jazz album; consistently good songs with interesting time signatures.

Never listened to much Little Richard aside from Tutti Frutti and seeing him in sitcom cameos, but I found myself really enjoying this old school rock and roll record. Standouts: 'Ready Teddy', 'Long Tall Sally'

This mix of country, indie, and alt-rock is just not appealing to me. Too laid back and meandering, its better moments are too spread out over the over-long double length album. If I liked the singer's voice more it would be more palatable.

Great 80's metal album. Theatrical, cheesy yet enjoyable vocals and riffs. Some other metal albums may hit harder or have more intricacy, but this one is just plain fun. Standouts: Invaders, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, Hallowed Be Thy Name

Amazing voice, good soul/jazz arrangements, but didn't really connect with the songs outside the standouts. Should probably be a 4, might just be in a bad mood today. Standouts: Too High, Living For the City, Higher Ground

Never hear of this folk-rock duo, but enjoyed this album quite a bit. Good folk vocalists with well arranged electric guitar compositions. Standouts: Calvary Cross, When I Get to the Border, I Want To See the Bright Lights

Soulful final Cash album, you really feel the weight of a life lived in his voice. Despite some good songs, at the end of the day its an album of mournful covers and not all of them work. Standouts: The Man Comes Around, Hurt, I Hung My Head

Kinda cheesy 70's hard rock album, but when a better track off it hits a good groove I can't help but nod along. Standouts: Highway Star, Space Truckin', Lazy

Enjoyable prog-rock, but double album length works against it, 1st album much more interesting and consistent. Standouts: In the Cage

Some fun new wave pop songs, but I'm gonna listen to Sparks if I'm in the mood for this stuff. Not every song works or effectively uses Lauper's quirky voice. Standouts: Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Time After Time, I'll Kiss You

Tiny Dancer is fine, but really not a fan of this piano forward, kinda show-tunes vibe 70's rock. Indian Sunset makes me cringe enough to knock this album down to 2.

Good singer-songwriter folk, Cohen's voice is great but I liked 'Songs of Leonard Cohen' off this list much more. Standouts: 'Avalanche' stood out the most, pretty consistent album though, no really good or bad ones

I like the song 'West End Girls' and some other 80's Pet Shop Boys songs, but was unprepared for how terrible this cheesy early 90's album is. Lame, uninspired production combined with limpid boring vocals... this was a tough one to get through.

Straightforward exemplar of 'dad-rock'. Musty blues-rock that doesn't do either genre justice. It would be fine in the background of a bar, kind of boring to listen to closely. Standout: La Grange

I feel like this list could have chosen some more dynamic or interesting electronic albums than this, but I grew to enjoy it as I listened. Reminds me of some of J.G. Thirwell's work or a much gentler Black Lung. A lot of it sort of blends together into background music, but there are interesting moments here and there. Standouts: Duke of Earlsfield, Return to Planet D, Chapel Street Market 9AM

Late 60's Blue's inspired rock and roll music; ok but other than standouts mentioned nothing great and not my favorite Stones songs. Standouts: Sympathy for the Devil (though an overplayed song), Street Fighting Man

Serviceable 60's garage rock, not quite wild or ambitious enough to elevate itself beyond its peers. Standouts: I'm Not Your Stepping Stone, Kicks

Great moody fusion of jazz with electric/rock instruments. Standouts: Only 2 tracks, both long and enjoyable

These songs work great stripped down, this album's version of these hits and covers are how I best know some of these songs. Standouts: Come As You Are, Man Who Sold the World, Where Did You Sleep Last Night
