First 2 tracks were my favorite. Sounds a bit korny hearing all the synth and 80’s like jams.

Quite enjoyable. Get some Jeff Mangum and Wilco vibes. Favorite tracks: The Shining Stone on the Water Once Around the block

Fantastic! Not a real dud on the album and lots of great jams. Faves include: Graceland Homeless (lady smith black mambazo!!) You can call me Al (holey saxamoley!) Diamonds on the soles of her shoes Crazy love

Though it’s a bit all over the map and lacks album level cohesiveness there’s a ton of really great, hooky songs in here. My favorites include: While my guitar gently weeps Happiness is a warm gun Blackbird Rocky raccoon Helped shelter Revolution 1

Not really my jam but you can tell the craftsmanship of the musicians. No real standout songs.

Solid funk. Papa was a rolling stone was a standout. Not too shabby.

Very unremarkable. Too synthetic and overproduced. Lacking soul.

Jammy in spots, but overall just ok. Standout is probably “dear god” and “earn enough for us”

First 2 tracks are real bangers: “chic cheer” and “Le freak”. But the rest of the album feels a bit one dimensional and derivative. Some slick bass lines.

Interesting, bit of an oddball. Starts pretty strong but tapers off. Fave track is “on the surface”. Off kilter vocals are a bit grating at times, but some fat bass and out there guitar licks.

KEITH MOON DRUMMING!!! One of the best live albums start to stop, not a bad song in the whole album. Sound production is top notch. Entwhistle’s bass is on fire! Fave tracks: I can’t explain, a quick one while he’s away, young man blues, substitute

Completely unremarkable. Not sure why this is on here?

Lots of great songs on this album, and no real misses. Forgot how good it is, was one of the first CD’s I owned

Mostly unforgettable tracks. 90’s guitar riffs and some plinky plonky piano but it doesn’t do a whole lot for me. Kinda like a harsher, grungier Weezer. Fave tracks: Novocaine for the soul, my beloved monster

Lots of really great tunes on this album that even a non-metalhead can appreciate. Love the guitar work and drumming. Standouts: enter sandman, sad but true, nothing else matters

Beautiful, unique, evocative and serene. Most songs are good. Faves include: Svefn-g-englar, ny-batteri, agaetis-byrjun

Honestly not as good as their other stuff but of course psycho killer is fab. Original version doesn’t include sugar on my tongue which is also great. Tropical vibes and great bass lines but not their best.

Definitely not my jam, but she has a nice voice. Every song seems the same as the last, mostly nouveau country blecch

Jammy, jazzy, but just ok. I don’t know much about the dead but wouldn’t call this groundbreaking.

Just an ok concept album. Decent in parts but not a lot I’d go back to relative to their other work. Fave track: “do you realize”.

Enjoyable but wouldn’t call it fantastic. Sea shanty vibes but Nick Cave has a stellar voice. Comes out hot but drags a bit in the middle. Fave tracks: Papa won’t leave you Henry, and John Finn’s wife

Pretty interesting, didn’t know this one. Great backing band and even better backing singers! Some real gems: wearing that loved on look (hooray for the Sadie’s introducing me to it), suspicious minds and in the ghetto.

Didn’t know anything about him but do recognize a few songs. Pretty good! Cant tell what’s original vs cover though. I get some Beatles coming through interesting and varied.

Decent. Recognize “in the street” from that 70’s show. Also dug “thirteen”. Get some big hair, zeppelin vibes.

Not really a bad song on the album even if it isn’t my favorite of theirs. Stones in their prime, just a great baseline floor. Does taper off a bit at the end. My faves include: “tumbling dice”, “rocks off”, “shake your hips”

So many great songs on here this album is a classic. Faves include: only living boy in New York, bridge over troubled water, el condor pasa, Cecilia, baby driver. Super harmonies!

Did nothing for me. Just go hum didn’t like the lead singers vocals.

Boring. Maybe the initial synth and computer generated sounding stuff was original at the time but this ain’t it for me.

Just a great album. Love none machine, gigantic, where is my mind. Wacko lyrics and jammy guitars. Beaut!

What a voice! Love the title track and “how can you mend a broken heart”. Groovy love (and loss) songs.

Lots of hits on this one: “zero”, “tonight tonight”, “1979”, “bullet with butterfly wings”. Kind of forgot how heavy it was! Loses a star due to sheer length (2+hours)

No recognizable hits on this. Some decent guitar riffs and jangly boogie woogie type sounds (“get the lead out” being a fave). Feels like the early dawn of hair bands. Good for dive bars but top 1000? Feels like a stretch.

What a voice. First time hearing a live album of hers and it was pretty good. Liked the candid banter and improv at the end of “willow wait for me”. Honeysuckle rose is of course another classic and standout. Backing band is on point.

Enjoyed most of this but not as much as their other work. Classic hits include “America” and “Mrs. Robinson” but I also liked “At the Zoo” and “Punky’s Dilemma”. A bit too try hard at times. Eg. Voices of old people.

What a start! Two instantly recognizable classics to kick things off though for me things tend to quiet down from there. Love the recording of the piano.

Good lord this stinks. Think I need to be high to tolerate. Totally disjointed, barely music. Sure some of the production effects may have been interesting/creepy at the time but I can’t believe anyone would give these guys money.

This album is a bop! Great party anthems at the start. “Let’s go crazy”, “when doves cry”, “darling Nicki”. Purple rain is Prince’s stairway to heaven.

Fave track is the first. Equal parts garage rocking with some bluesy funk for god measure. “Search and destroy” is my fave

Not my cup of tea. Some of the guitar riffs and drumming are actually good but boy do I dislike the vocals.

It’s good but not their finest work. Standouts to me are the title track: “the suburbs” and “we used to wait”

Pretty good. Hadn’t heard this except “golden years” which I thoroughly enjoy. Some funky-ness and operatic moments (hello thin white duke). Solid.

Fun stuff but still not as impactful to me as their first album. Lots of output from just two folks. My fave tracks are: “hardest button to button”, “in the cold cold night”, cover of “I just don’t know what to do with myself” and “you have no faith in medicine”. Though overplayed the intro to seven nation army is classic too.

Punchy start! Can see why impressionable teenage men would lap this stuff up. “Battery”, “master of puppets” and “disposable heroes” were the standouts for me.

When this initially came out I didn’t enjoy it, but now I can appreciate some of these bangers “firestarter”, “smack my bitch up”, “breathe” are all popular standouts. Hype beats but it does feel like it all goes at the same BPM and as an album it can feel a bit one dimensional at times. Solid stuff!

Quite the super group! Unfortunately this probably needs more listens to appreciate the songwriting but a lot of these blended into the others. No real standouts for me.

Can’t find on Spotify but what I did listen to was meh. Pretty bland

Pretty solid easy jazzy debut. Norah Jones has a stellar voice but no track shines brighter than her mega hit “don’t know why”. The rest is kinda background fodder.

Yeah booyy! Pretty groundbreaking early hip hop that mostly stands the test of time. Chuck D waxes poetically and the beats are pretty great. Standouts: “don’t believe the hype”, “night of the living baseheads”, “party for your right to fight”

Not a bad song on the album! Great catchy grooves, highly danceable and up beat. Love it! “Jacqueline”, “tell her tonight”, “take me out”, “dark if the matinee”, and “this fire” were all bops.

You’re gonna miss me is great but I found the rest of the album a bit lacking redundant. That electric jug was driving me nuts by about the fourth song. Would have been more effective if used sparingly!

Good soulful jams and that voice! And that cover! But nothing that stood out as must listen on repeat.

1001 best albums? Really? Totally unmemorable to me. No real standouts, just bland and boring.

Great inclusion I wasn’t aware of. Smooth, mellow and easy breezy. Great weekend listening all along.

While not as strong to me as their earlier work it still has the haunting impending doom like march that i find intriguing. In addition to the vocals I quite enjoy the varied and downtempo beats too especially on “we carry on”.

What a great live album! Totally swingin’, BB at his peak, great licks, an awesome backing band and it feels like you’re right there in the groove. Totally dig it! Faves are “please love me” and “how blue can you get”. Also what’s going with the start of “you upset me baby”. Why the re-intro and switch? Loses all momentum of the live sequencing.

Totally new to me. Very out there get proto pros rock hints but fairly off kilter. Not sure I’d go back and listen again but the musicians have talent and seems like they were allowed to run wild with whatever instruments they could find. Could see a band like GYBE being influenced by this.

Great album. The harmonies, the orchestration perfectly arranged. A more mature beach boys. Love “wouldn’t it be nice”, “sloop John b” and “god only knows”. rip Brian Wilson!

Lush instrumentation but a bit sandy same for me and doesn’t do a lot (I’ve never really gotten into the cure). Dig some of the guitar work on “pictures of you” but nothing something I’d rush to go back to.

Unmemorable. A bit of a whinier oasis. Just fairly bland.

Just ok. Liked some of the moody beats on “dirge” but the rest just kind of blended and dint do much for me. Was excited by the prospect of Iggy on “Aisha” but it mostly fell flat.

I’ve been on a uk punk binge lately but this doesn’t really do anything for me. Meh.

Pretty solid. Like the samples but sometimes verge on being a bit corny (same with the lyrics). Good beats, fun to bop to. Faves are first 3 tracks: “E-Pro”, “Girl”, and “Que’Onda Guero”. Plus “Hell yes”.

Wow! Totally caught off guard and surprised by this. Not sure I’d call it jazz more contemporary classical? I get hits of Rachel’s and post rock piano crossed with thelonious monk. Then I read it was all improvised?!? Brilliant!

Listened to this while running and another one I wouldn’t have picked (it also doesn’t do so well as running background). I like the vibraphone and accordion like sounds, clearly talented musicians but I don’t get a lot of tango from it. More jazzy fusion. Just ok for my taste buds. I’m ready to rock.

Grew up on this album but it’s a bit funny to hear the lyrics now. All this singing about girls and knowing my man is just collecting a paycheck. First 3 songs are best: “faith”, “father figure” and “I want your sex”

I’m not generally much of a country fan but this was just alright. I do like her voice and some of the lyrics in parts but it’s not something I’m likely to go back to. Not knowing anything about her or the context I’m struggling to see why this should be deemed essential listening?

Starts out so strong “so far away”, “money for nothing”, and “walk of life”, but then falls off a cliff of quiet boring nothingness until “brothers in arms” for me. Some of the lyrics don’t really stand the test of time either.

Not a bad song on the album really. This hit at a musical peak for me so I’m totally biased but it’s a killer album and still holds up. My faves: “some day”, “take it or leave it”, “New York city cops”, and “last night”.

Some good tunes on this but I do find the smiths a bit one dimensional. Lyrics are clever “frankly Mr. Shankley”, but Morrissey is a bit of a douche. Other fave tracks: “there is a light…”, “bigmouth strikes again”.

A bit of a mixed bag but overall enjoyable. She has an interesting sounding voice, swears like a sailor and it turns out has lived quite the life(all new to me). Looking past that and focusing on the songs I dug “broken English” l, her take on lennon’s “working class hero”, and “why’d you do it”

Second big star album and not as initially catchy as their self titled album. Dug their cover of femme fatale but not much else going on with this.

Was debating between 2 and 3 for this, but decided to round up. Tight guitar work and some good songs “another girl, another planet” is my fave, but it loses points for the singers voice. Like a crappier buzzcocks
