Jazmine SullivanI mean it’s not the worst out there… but nothing about this I NEED to hear before I die right, kinda ridiculous

I guess there is a cultural significance but to me it sounds like run at the mill easy listening smooth jazz. Nothing wrong with it but otherwise not amazing.
It’s their distinct sound which I can only handle for so long. Great album though, it really is its own thing.
This is just too mediocre, I guess I have to buy the book now to know what the rationale is for including it in the list. Was there really nothing else more worthwhile? Unforgettable, irrelevant, inconsequential
Beautiful production, full of atmosphere, amazing performance
A classic and one which features one of the best songs in history
Discography listened in march 2025, shows the mastery of an american singer songwriter

Very nice classic 70s sound banger!
Very enjoyable as a non-stones listener. Very laid back, blues/gospel/folk vibes. “Authentic” 60s production quality
Psych en abrasive. Sound of the drug infused late 60s
Best vibe, great voice, great musicianship
Very nice on the sunday morning. Great vibes
Very chill! Gilberto is not the best singer out there but the bibe is right
Surpisingly good, definitely my vibe. There are some great anthems on this thing. Nice and unique sound
A masterpiece, what a vibe
Very chill, clearly wildly influentual for contemporary sweet pop music
Not a metallica fan but I guess this had been quintessential material
Caught myself drifting in thought during this listen. Not sure if this is the “greatest ambient album” of all time but is was a good listen
Surprisingly good and fun! Still some great progressive and creative tunes on here after his departure.
Fabulous
Some duds but overall very enjoyable and some true bangers on there. Kinda Jefferson Airplane meets Sinead O’connor meets early punk vibes.
Not my sweet spot but very much enjoyed this on an early morning. Good vibes, great sentiment and an anthem of the 90s.
Not my style of rock. It’s okay and certainly the first track peaked my interest for its atypical sound but otherwise mwa
It’s ok. Not my cup of tea per se but a pleasant way to start the day. For a layman this is run at the mill country folky swampy music
Classic american vibe with very chill gospel influences. Great stuff
Not necessarily bad, but waaaay too mich run at the mill for this list. Enjoyed the listen nonetheless
It’s their distinct sound which I can only handle for so long. Great album though, it really is its own thing.
Bland shoegazey rock, not very interesting or inspiring. Execution is ok
Actually pretty great. Alternative creative rock living room style! Pleasant voices and great drumming!
Incredibly overhyped. Nice as a background tune while doing your job but otherwise very mediocre.
Although I’m not the biggest fan of the abrasive mix and grunge in general, this album does manage to convey a sentiment very well and the musicianship is top notch.
Great music! A unique style with great guitar and piano work, subtle gospel influence and interesting compositipns. Loved it
They look great but the music is quite mediocre. Very meh hardrock. Lyric wise also doesn’t move me whatsoever.
Still fresh! Great bests and fabulous voice
Absolutely great album. Perfect vibe, very appropriate mix which is somewhat abrasive but not too annoying. I love the sound of the guy’s voice
Classic voice but the album is actually very rounded off and easy listenable. Enjoyed it a lot
Pretty remarkable, sounds as if it comes from the 00s. Quite abrasive sounding and bizarre. “Laughing Song” and “Birthday Boy” are the musical equivalents of a nightmare while “Blue Rosebuds” and “The Elektrocutioner” are in their own way pretty. Loved it
Fantastic music. Works for a party and casual listening but is also engaging. Great production
Its punkpop
Not sure why this is included in the list. Very boring, very mediocre pop songs. It is not bad music but not engaging in any way
It’s funk and although they generally got good released, this one is for sure pure musicianship. Very cool
Nice music! But why is it on this list?
Absolutely remarkable stuff. Gets you in a trance, no fancy drops, harmonies or rythmic structure. Pure electronic vibes
Didn’t know so much material from Neil Young, only his hits. it’s actually pretty great. Good vibes and his high pitchy voice is strangely soothing
Yeah well this of course is pure gold. Limp Bizkit but better. Funk, groove, metal, rap, politically engaged, unfortunately still relevant as ever. Appropriately delivered anger wrapped in musical excellence
Absolute classic. Only hits
Not my vibe
Fresh beats! Very chill, wholesome and good vibes
Ah little too heavy in the lower frequencies for my taste. Other than that it’s a tremendous finishing piece for a Cohen
Apart from the lyricism I don’t get the appeal. He sure has a distinct style of voice but god 90 minutes is tedious
Albeit better than their later work, it is still annoying music. The dude sounds like a whiny b and the instrumentals are bland
An anthem througout, phenomenal
Not really wasy listening.. I appreciate the vibe but it is not my style..
Beastie Boysesque shout-rap. Albumcover is amazing, instrumentals could have been a little more impactful. Not my preferred style per se but great to have listen to this
Not too bad although instrumentals could have been a little more pronounced. Album starts better than it ends. Scientist is overrated af, politik underrated. I very much like how it is less overproduced like their later material.
Quite interesting to listen to. Reminds me of Sikth now and then.
Objectively speaking, it’s an old man doing covers. Now of course this album comes with a lifetime of context, which makes it remarkable. Also, production quality on this thing is great. Love the guitar sound.
This is some Honky Tonk bs Eagles did it better. This album is basically a tequila sunrise but boring and lame singing
The type of music does not really match with her voice in my opinion. It’s also a tad too long.. Frozen is good, but only because I recognized it
Endless beats and sounds, no real fulfilling climaxes, no catchy highlights, meh
An all time classic. Not a big fan of Art but together with Paul he is great
It’s better than the never ending live session album. His voice is a little less obnoxious but it is nevertheless not appealing to me at all.
Roxy musicesque but less interesting
It’s not for me this style. I guess there is an appeal to the long winded, never ending, trance inducing drum/bass/guitar sections with whiny vocals but I just can’t get into it. The second track was actually lretty great but an anomaly…
Yes great stuff! Truly hard hitters like Hungry like the Wolf and New Religion are found on this one, and of course the low key rave monstertrack “The Chauffeur”. Love all their early work. Whatever they did in the 90s onward is very very mediocre.
This is pure joy. Trance inducing electro vibes. Robot, model, machine, magnificent
Feels somewhat unfocused but the tunes are super chill and funky
Not for me. It has somewhat collegerock vibes but a lot more sophisticated - however doesn’t really work for me
Strangely enough they have their own sound. Last couple of songs are real atmosphere drivers. I do miss the “bohemian like you” up tempo bangers though
I guess it doesn’t realy get more blues than with Hooker.. the collabs are nice, I vibed to this today. Album art is quite ominous. I like it but it does not necessarily match the music tone of voice.
Very fun rock! Funny how on one album some songs sound so fresh and others so dated
This is just too mediocre, I guess I have to buy the book now to know what the rationale is for including it in the list. Was there really nothing else more worthwhile? Unforgettable, irrelevant, inconsequential
Oh the instrumentals alone makes this top tier
California Dreamin’ is absolute mastery, rest of the album is a showcase of good close harmony tracks. Very enjoyable
Unbelievably well done, absolute banger of a record. Timeless, catchy, its own thing
Oh the bass licks Very relaxed, a great vibe but also a tad forgettable
An all time great
I get the appeal and these are good tunes but I do get a little worn out by the voice of the guy
Got some Janelle Morae vibes from this! Concept is really nice and well produced. I liked it
Very moody, very typical. Objectively I don’t really know whether I like this, but somehow I do dig it
There is some sophistication in this music but it is too whiny for me
Yes! Kero Kero Bonitoesque blissful pop!
Soo very chill. Has some massive attack vibes. Great song composition, appropriate vocals, great electronics
Actually so fresh, upbeat and well crafted tunes! Catchy and forward music, very cool
Electro and rock with vocals that are rock. Very unique sound and well crafted
Nothing inherently bad about this, although I had some “the band” vibes getting into this (must be the cover picture). I like all instrumentals used in this thigmng but the irish folk/rock/country blend just doesn’t do it for me. Making this thing almost two hours doesn’t help
This just rolls forward! Great musicianship an performance
Is this Yello? When I started to listen I thought I would only like it on a rave event, but it is actually quite soothing and relaxing stuff
In the orchestra I play in, there is this trombonist who is often unable to play due to whatever reason and therefore joins us in the percussion section. Because the conductor never really cares enough and this guy insists on it, he plays the cowbell pretty much always regardless of how appropriate it is. This band suffers the same fate with the electric jug.
Music is fine if it wasn’t for the bored sounding bob-dylanesque monotone out of tune vocals. Why? What a meme
Very cool
An absolute classic, easy listening and great for the weekend. Good musicianship as well
Cute and well sung but a tad forgettable
I guess this was the sound of the times, beatlesy, rolling stonesy music with some who flavour sprinkled over it. It is ok but by no means as interesting as came later
Joel and Elton John have a shared distinct sound combined with excellent songwriting that is so great to listen to. Peak pop
Bordering metal! Great songwriting makes for interesting tracks. Vocals are absolute fire. This type of rock doesn’t hit the mainstream anymore…
Its fine, it did not really evoke strong emotions or whatever, also not sure what extra crazy horse brought to the table
Nice, quite experimental an cool to hear what it eventually would lead to for them
I simultaneously wonder what’s so special about this music and thoroughly enjoy it, quite extraordinary
This is some abrasive stuff. I’ve never lived it but it is quite hard to stomach. Yes, it is punk but also feels low effort. Not a fan
This is absolutely fantastic. Anthems of songs, great themes, vocals are on point and instrumentals are out of this world
This is arctic monkeys in the age of indiana jones
It has only been a few weeks and this is my third bob dylan album. It better ends here
There must be better arabic-styled music out there that is better than this? Feels like a mediocre addition to a list crowded with western rock. Other than that, vibed with Khaled
Doesn’t get more blues than this
Once listened to this guy because the great Mikael Åkerfeldt nudged me to it. Cool stuff although I wouldn’t put it on nowadays
Not half as bad as I thought it would be. The collabs are pretty mediocre but the music in itself is quite good. Not sure if it deserves a place on this particular list though.
I’m not particularly excited by her voice, lyrics, the instrumentals and production. Very run at the mill stuff
I don’t hate this but it does feel like one big song. Chill on a background but otherwise pretty run at the mill stuff
Touched by the Crimson King!
Pretty listenable punk, not my genre but this I could very much handle
Actually not all that bad, love the sax!
Not garbage!
I mean it’s not the worst out there… but nothing about this I NEED to hear before I die right, kinda ridiculous
Actually not THAT interesting. It’s bluesy and hard rocky but also lacks focus and is a little bland
Classic, elegant in its basics, great musicianship
Peak pop music! timeless, catchy, great production, love it
Ultimate holiday tracks
Actually quite enjoyed this!
Some kind of mix between Yello and Mike Oldfield. Progressive hiphop sampling. Sometimes fresh, sometimes tedious
Not too bad! Some lovely instrumental cuts on there as well. No fan of the punky, irish rock style but this grew on me.
Ah Paul never fails. Not his best album but nevertheless a fine listen
Whiny, out of tune singing and mediocre instrumentals. As background music ok but come on, this must be a troll right
Always fun, always quirky pop, great songwriting! The vibe is spot on and exciting, very very nice
Diverse, clearly inspired but pushed some boundaries, fun to listen to, great production, love it
Country is no my style but this was quite enjoyable! At the very least authentic and well crafted
Actually… pretty standard guitarrock.
Talking Heads-ish but a little more punk flavoured. Not sure what to think of it, not a big fan of the vocals
Ultraboring
Quite abrasive stuf, not my cup of tea per se
To a layman’s ear it’s Ella Fitzgerald. Nice recording, has a lot of authenticity and a great vibe
It’s not bad but also not the type of music I particularly like
This guy makes hard rock without it being hard or rock, amazing stuff
Somewhat sentimental in value, although this has been happening a little early in my life. Production is decent, the vibe is on point, formulaic songwriting.
master of none music
Very mediocre
It’s ok, somewhat nondescript pop/country/rock. Album cover is pure cringe
Cute music!
Not my style but appreciate the passion and the effort
First song got me excited but what followed was a little too screamish for me. Like the instrumentals though
Very cute, I Only Want To Be With You is a banger
Hard to assess this objectively, but it’s pure gold
Amazing stuff, but objectively speaking also a tad obnoxious. Not great during work (especially “Lady Can Driver”, very distracting) and when I actively listen I just cringe here and there. Instrumentals, musicianship and performance are sick.
Not unpleasant to listen to but for this type of music I would expect more satisfying composition of melodies and chord progressions.
Decent indierock, not my genre but clearly well crafted
The nth UK punk album. It’s decent but I wonder what other album from another genre I would have rather listened before I die…
