What an amazing album, give that man a statue

Young Bruce still plays most of these songs live. What a beautiful album again.

A surprisingly nice album, even without Eileen.

To put it in Rutte's words: I have no active memory of this

A singer, must have some guts. That is not the case here. You go from one song to the next while babbling.

Neil Young
2/5
I can imagine people raving about this (especially harmonica lovers). Not really my thing, apart from some classics like Heart of Gold
The Smiths
1/5
No music that sticks
Nine Inch Nails
3/5
Surprisingly rough music that goes outside the lines. Nice, but you have to be in the mood
R.E.M.
2/5
A little overhyped?
Talking Heads
4/5
Better as expected
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
Four very good numbers and a a very nice cover
Kendrick Lamar
2/5
Normally I wouldn't listen to it. For once it's actually quite nice
Portishead
4/5
Sometimes stirring, often dreamy. A style all of its own. Definitely worth listening to again.
Dead Kennedys
3/5
I always associate the Dead Kennedys with the alternative scene. This album confirms that. Full of energy and going wild. Best song on this album? Your emotions! Most hilarious song? Viva Las Vegas!
Ian Dury
3/5
Nice to hear that old rocker Ian Dury again. Too bad "Hit me (with your rhythm stick)" isn't on here. There are more nice songs on here than I expected.
Sarah Vaughan
2/5
Nice a classical jazz singer. Never heard of her, but good to listen to once in a while
The Offspring
1/5
I know some people wake up with this in the morning. I drove with this during the morning rush hour and I have to say that I often hear better music. So not recommended.
Kacey Musgraves
1/5
A singer, must have some guts. That is not the case here. You go from one song to the next while babbling.
The Soft Boys
2/5
Music is easy on the ear while it also has some punch. I had never heard of the soft boys. Almost two and a half hours of soft boys would be a bit much, however the bonus tracks break off after just a few listens.
Waylon Jennings
2/5
Funny to hear typical 70s music again. Once in a while is enough.
Radiohead
3/5
The dreamy songs like (nice dream) make this a great record.
Fleet Foxes
3/5
Nice music to start the workday with. Easy on the ear but not too distracting. Too bad there isn't really a hit in between
Ray Charles
3/5
Ray Charles, who doesn't know him? I didn't know the complete album "Modern sounds ...". I do know the background vocals and the style. Nice to hear once.
Traffic
4/5
Traffic is a pleasant surprise. Easy on the ear and I actually knew one of their songs: Feelin' Alright?
David Holmes
4/5
Nice music, many songs make me unable to sit still in my office chair
Stevie Wonder
3/5
Two world hits that you can't ignore, for the rest hmmm
Ramones
4/5
The Ramones were popular when I was in college. Now, it may be strange to say, they seem more dull than they were back then. But the rule is still: Shout it out and go. Great.
T. Rex
4/5
What great music! Never heard of it I thought, until I heard Get it on. Of course I knew that song. The entire album is recommended.
Grateful Dead
2/5
At first I thought hmmm, quite nice, but soon I found it an exercise in patience
The Stooges
1/5
On the one hand you could label it as cat's whining, on the other hand it sometimes has something
Derek & The Dominos
2/5
Quite nice to listen to. One megahit. I can imagine that this was a refreshing album at the time.
The Cure
5/5
What a well made album. Mysteriously melancholic and sometimes magical
Elis Regina
2/5
For this I listen to this album list. New music for me. I have to say there are some nice songs in there. Still, it's not really my thing.
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
4/5
As I wrote yesterday, it's nice to hear new music (for me). What a pleasant surprise this is.
Brian Eno
3/5
Brian Eno is a well-known name. I didn't know this album though. Quite nice to listen to.
Adele
3/5
It meanders along happily with a single song that stands out. The entire album disappoints me
Run-D.M.C.
3/5
Not really my thing, but a pretty good album
fIREHOSE
4/5
This is the first album I listened to twice in one day. The first time I listened I thought it was nice, later in the day I wondered, what did I actually hear. In each case completely new to me
Sade
4/5
What an album. A beautiful voice and very well known songs.
The Sabres Of Paradise
3/5
Completely new music for me, and I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised
Janelle Monáe
4/5
At the first song I thought it would be classical music, but that was not the case. Very nice music to listen to with songs that flow seamlessly into each other.
Talking Heads
4/5
Qu'est-ce que c'est? C'est génial
Wilco
2/5
Dreamy music that doesn't stick
The Young Gods
1/5
Usually I can appreciate some rough music. However, I found this album less successful
Shuggie Otis
2/5
Calm music to wake up to. It promises to swing today
Big Brother & The Holding Company
5/5
The album cover already raises expectations and Janis Joplin completely lives up to them. Let's go!
David Bowie
2/5
David Bowie is a hero. I think Low is far from one of his best albums. I'll go for Scary Monsters
Gram Parsons
1/5
Country-style music might be a thing in America. I'm not really into it.
Massive Attack
3/5
The solid (massive) basses quickly bring you into a kind of trance. I suspect that if I listen to these basses for too long, I will get a headache.
5/5
Well, how many stars do you give an album like that? The first song is 5 stars, the second song is 5 stars, the third is 5 stars. The whole album? Okay, 5 stars too.
Songhoy Blues
3/5
What a nice blues, and what a shame that making music is forbidden in northern Mali
Moby
5/5
I already knew some of the songs, but the whole thing is overwhelming
The Mars Volta
3/5
Buzzcocks
2/5
There's punk and punk. No doubt this was an important band at the time. At the time I didn't get anything from this band
Cat Stevens
2/5
There's punk and punk. No doubt this was an important band at the time. At the time I didn't get anything from this band
Coldplay
5/5
Very quickly I knew how many stars I was going to give...
The Doors
5/5
Excellent
Eagles
4/5
The morning after listening to this album I'm humming a new kid in town
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
Although a well-known artist, I had never heard the album before. I expected more from it
The Beach Boys
3/5
Listening to this album right after Brian Wilson passed away is special. Back in the day, the Beach Boys made a big impression on me. I even had a compilation album. I had never listened to Pet Sounds in its entirety
John Lennon
3/5
Beautiful songs, including a few classics. When I think of John Lennon I always think of this quote: Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans
The Smashing Pumpkins
1/5
I'm quite disappointed with this, I actually expected more because they have quite a name.
Anthrax
2/5
Grow your hair and headbang. I did it once before, but I can't think of it anymore
Nirvana
5/5
An album you knew had to be on this list. And indeed. One cat-yelling song aside, a fabulous album
Metallica
3/5
Never had anything for Metallica. I don't think that will change anymore
The Temptations
3/5
Papa was a rolling stone has about the longest intro I know
Dr. Dre
1/5
Not my taste at all
Joni Mitchell
2/5
Nice, but doesn't really do anything for me
Bert Jansch
3/5
Reminds me somewhat of early Bob Dylan
Tina Turner
4/5
One of the biggest female pop stars is of course Tina Turner. I just noticed that the album cover has a black cat
Fatboy Slim
3/5
Of course I knew Praise you. To my surprise the rest is not bad either
Lauryn Hill
3/5
I remember that when this album came out it was received enthusiastically. At the time I didn't like it, now I think it's quite nice
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Nice debut album. No hits but lots of potential (which became clear afterwards)
Pixies
3/5
That's nice
Merle Haggard
1/5
A single song that rises above the drab mediocrity is not enough for me to appreciate country
Pearl Jam
3/5
A special album with some very beautiful songs
Nick Drake
2/5
Nice, but not something I'll listen to a second time
Gang Of Four
2/5
This isn't quite right for me
3/5
At the time, it was said that these were the new Beatles. They're certainly good, but as good as the Beatles...
Iggy Pop
4/5
Always had a soft spot for Iggy Pop. Hence...
Arcade Fire
3/5
Beautiful build-up of bombastic songs
2/5
Hmm, this is different
The Black Keys
2/5
The black what? Less than the black...
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
2/5
What nervous music!
Carpenters
2/5
Well-known, but not great
Tears For Fears
4/5
At the time a very popular album with two classics with extremely beautiful intros
MGMT
3/5
Suddenly you hear "Kids" and you think, "Did they make this?" The album instantly improves. "Kids" isn't on my playlist yet, but that's about to change...
Fiona Apple
2/5
Although some songs are dragging and compelling and the singer has a beautiful voice, it doesn't do much for me
Black Sabbath
2/5
I'm surprised the music isn't as raw and intense as I expected. Frankly, it's a bit of a disappointment, though I understand it was a source of inspiration for other bands. RIP Ozzy
Richard Hawley
2/5
Calm background music that doesn't linger
The Smiths
3/5
As is often the case in this list, I think there are better albums by the band/artist in question than the selected one.
Otis Redding
4/5
I used to listen to the soul show with Ferry Maat on Dutch radio. It was great music.
David Bowie
5/5
I once listened to all of Bowie's music. This album came out quite unexpectedly. Like most Bowie albums, it was different from what you'd come to expect. Looking back, I think Scary Monsters is the best album of Bowie. This album, however, is also quite good.
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
No, I have no experience with drugs. Yes, I think this is a great album.
Elton John
2/5
I find the cover more interesting than most of the songs on this album.
Keith Jarrett
3/5
Beautiful. I didn't expect such an album to appear on this list.
Beatles
5/5
Funny, an album where you can sing along to more than half of the songs
Big Star
1/5
To put it in Rutte's words: I have no active memory of this
Lightning Bolt
2/5
Heavy music, I must say. On the one hand, it has something to it, on the other, it's not very listenable.
Muddy Waters
3/5
Great, familiar music. Was it groundbreaking? No idea, but it sounds good.
King Crimson
3/5
Great jazz. At least, that's what I'd call it. A bit restless at times, but that's part of it.
Beck
4/5
Never heard of it. I listened to it a half times because it's quite interesting.
The Shamen
2/5
"Progen 91"/"Move any mountain" is, of course, Shamen's biggest hit. I used to dance to it a lot in the basement of the Koornbeurs. Unfortunately, the rest of the album doesn't quite reach that level.
Orbital
1/5
Sometimes it sounds a bit like Philip Glass, but mostly it's just restless music
Dinosaur Jr.
1/5
Well, this is the kind of music that doesn't do anything for me. I don't know what to do with it.
Public Enemy
1/5
Public Enemy may be a well-known name, but the music is not my thing
DJ Shadow
3/5
This reminds me of a scorching hot day at the beach at some over-the-top hip beach club where they hired a DJ
Todd Rundgren
3/5
I'm wondering how I could describe this musical style. My appreciation for it varies greatly from song to song.
Meat Loaf
4/5
In high school, you could occasionally bring LPs to music class. Very often, this LP was brought by a classmate.
Green Day
4/5
Today I looked back at the list of previously reviewed albums. I noticed that so far there are only a handful of albums with a global rating of 4 or higher. I expect Green Day to score high as well. I'm going for a...
The Flaming Lips
2/5
Calm music, completely new to me, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
3/5
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young has always been a mythical name for me. Now that I'm listening to this album, I wonder why. Were my expectations too high?
Carole King
4/5
Great music to listen to. Almost always good (if you don't want to go crazy).
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
For many fans of The Boss, this is one of his best albums, if not his best. I agree.
Neu!
4/5
Hmm, surprising. How beautiful.
The Strokes
3/5
It started out so well, but in the end, it changed completely. Was I listening to two different albums?
Boston
2/5
One world hit, the rest I find disappointing. The contrast is simply too great.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
What a classic this is! It's great that it's included on this list. It's a pity they were so successful just before "my time."
Orbital
2/5
This is the kind of electronic dance music that I don't care for, although I can imagine that if you listen to it under the right circumstances, you will automatically enter a trance.
Black Flag
2/5
The title of this album is well chosen. You have to like this genre to be able to judge how good or bad this album is.
Beatles
4/5
Controversial, groundbreaking, but certainly revolutionary... the Beatles' White Album. A cousin of mine considers it the best Beatles album. I've listened to them all. At the time, I wasn't ready for the revolution. These days, I give it a...
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
There was a time during my student days when I played Tusk (the song, not the album) over and over again. In my opinion, it's one of the best Fleetwood Mac songs.
Sonic Youth
3/5
Sometimes you get that feeling with this list: you listen to an album you're just not in the mood for. I had the same experience with this album. I have to work too hard to appreciate it.
The Crusaders
2/5
One song stands head and shoulders above the rest. It happens to be the only song with vocals. The instrumentals are pleasant background music, but nothing special.
Thin Lizzy
3/5
A live album, longer than usual, but actually quite enjoyable.
3/5
I happened to hear about PJ Harvey recently, in the sense that she's a well-known artist. Well, she wasn't that well-known to me. Pretty good music.
Sufjan Stevens
2/5
Pretty good music. There's just one song that's really not for me.
Eminem
3/5
Listening to a single song is fine. A whole album is too much of a good thing.
Talking Heads
3/5
A well-known band, with unknown songs. Was this a debut album? Not according to Wikipedia. Well, what are you supposed to do with it then?
Paul Weller
3/5
Relaxing music, nice to work to.
Frank Sinatra
4/5
What a classic, and what a voice. You don't hear them like that anymore.
Rush
3/5
I must say, this is some pretty nice symphonic rock music.
Scott Walker
3/5
Beautiful voice, beautiful music. Not normally my genre.
Serge Gainsbourg
2/5
The cover is, of course, completely wrong. The music is mediocre to passable.
Neil Young
2/5
Pretty good, but not quite there yet. It does have an intriguing cover though.
5/5
What a beautiful record by Bowie this is.
Beastie Boys
3/5
You have to fight for your right to party. Who hasn't danced to that? I certainly have. I've never heard the entire album. It's not bad.
T. Rex
2/5
Not innovative compared to "Get it on"
The Divine Comedy
2/5
Kings of Leon
3/5
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
What a beautiful album! When I listened to it, I discovered there were more familiar songs on it than I'd thought when I looked at the titles.
Bob Dylan
3/5
I saw the film "A Complete Unknown" a while ago. A beautiful reflection of the times and beautiful music. Keep rolling ...
SZA
2/5
In one ear, out the other. I don't really care for this.
Einstürzende Neubauten
3/5
When I'm at the office, I love listening to the album of the day. This time, it was an album that broadens your perspective on what music can be. For that reason alone, it's more than deserved to be on this list.
Peter Gabriel
3/5
Say Peter Gabriel, and you say Biko. In my opinion, a more appealing song than Sledgehammer. Even in the first track of this album, I already heard Biko...
R.E.M.
4/5
When I was young and received the CJP magazine, there was a recommendation for R.E.M. in it. At the time, they were still completely unknown in the Netherlands, yet they were already being recommended. Watch out: this band could become big.
Deep Purple
2/5
Apart from Child in Time I can't rate this album
Barry Adamson
3/5
Nice music to fall asleep to.
Yes
3/5
Yes, Roundabout is a big hit. The rest is decent.
Cocteau Twins
4/5
Wonderful dreamy music from the time when we made a club magazine with a stencil machine.
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
Young Bruce still plays most of these songs live. What a beautiful album again.
Fugees
1/5
Undoubtedly good and innovative in its class, but this is not my cup of tea.
Thelonious Monk
3/5
Quiet piano music in the background. I quite like it.
Crowded House
4/5
Already from 1991? I'm getting old. Still nice music.
Yes
4/5
At first I thought, "Yeah again?" But I get it. A nice experimental album.
The Who
3/5
With some songs, I felt like I was listening to the Beatles. Is that a lack of your own sound, or a compliment?
AC/DC
1/5
A lot of people back then loved AC/DC (alternating current/direct current). High school pop music calendars were full of it. Back then, I didn't appreciate it that much. Listening back to it, I still don't.
Beck
3/5
Beautiful, peaceful music, ideal for a relaxing train journey
Pere Ubu
2/5
From the first shrill notes, you know it. This is going to be a special listening experience.
Röyksopp
3/5
This too was a unique listening experience. A completely new one, but a pleasant one.
Duran Duran
3/5
This is a decent album. Duran Duran was huge in my youth. The music video for "Reflex" and "A View to a Kill" made a big impression back then.
Tracy Chapman
4/5
Even though I'd never heard the entire album in its entirety before, I do recognize most of the songs. What a fantastic album this is.
Lorde
4/5
Surprisingly nice to hear
Dizzee Rascal
1/5
I would never include this album in a list like this. It's not my taste at all.
George Michael
4/5
George Michael was a phenomenon in his time, and for good reason. Many a teenage bedroom had a poster of him. The funny thing was that George Michael was popular with both girls and boys. Great music from a great artist.
Dusty Springfield
3/5
It's so nice to hear this album. It's a lot less old-fashioned than I expected.
Nirvana
2/5
What's that weird squeaking sound the car's making? It's the music! Never mind, thankfully their other album is better.
Khaled
2/5
You have to hear this style before to really appreciate it.
The Isley Brothers
2/5
Is that interview included? Too bad, I don't appreciate that.
The Roots
2/5
Nice, but not my taste.
Led Zeppelin
2/5
This album is a bit disappointing.
Bob Dylan
3/5
After recently seeing the film about Bob Dylan, this is extra nice to hear
Lou Reed
5/5
What a fantastic album this is. Don't waste words on this, just listen to it.
Black Sabbath
4/5
Oh, what a punishment. You listen to an album and immediately have a song stuck in your head all day. It would make you paranoid.
Cornershop
4/5
What a surprisingly nice album
David Bowie
4/5
This album was released unexpectedly. Despite the many hints within the album (for example, David Bowie himself was always pictured on the cover, and now there was a death star on the cover), no one anticipated that David Bowie would die a few days later. This made the album especially impactful.
Isaac Hayes
3/5
A nice album, but not very special at the same time
Iron Maiden
3/5
It's not my taste but for once it's perfectly acceptable
David Bowie
3/5
Say what you will, but Bowie is a genius. Although I personally wouldn't include this album in this list.
The Adverts
3/5
When I played this album at the office, I was told right from the start that I was supposed to play middle-of-the-road music. I continued listening at home. Much of the same, the songs are full of energy.
Paul Simon
5/5
This album was incredibly popular back then (and still is). It was played over and over again on the radio. I still listen to it with great pleasure.
ZZ Top
3/5
Such a unique sound and style is so special that you can call it a new genre of its own
Gotan Project
4/5
Nice music! Never heard of it, but it sounds good.
Circle Jerks
3/5
Without knowing this band's reputation, I'd classify it as an alternative punk band. I have to say, I find it rather charming. Shout it out and go.
The Beau Brummels
2/5
Nice, but flat. After three songs, I felt like I'd heard the whole album.
The Smashing Pumpkins
2/5
A promising name. Unfortunately, the album falls short of my expectations.
CHIC
4/5
The first two songs alone make this album great, and what an album cover! Très chic!
Willie Nelson
2/5
What a predictable album.
The Mothers Of Invention
3/5
Quite a nice album. Yesterday I happened to read that humanity as a whole is experimenting less and less and that you have to go back years to find original things. That seems to be the case again now.
Deee-Lite
3/5
A worldwide hit and mostly cheerful music. It's nice to hear the whole album.
Nas
1/5
There was a hint of nice music somewhere, but overall I found it disappointing.
Rage Against The Machine
2/5
Apart from one well-known song, I am very disappointed with this album.
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
A surprisingly nice album, even without Eileen.
Björk
4/5
It remains amazingly beautiful music.
The Stooges
4/5
I have a soft spot for Iggy. Always loved it.
The Who
2/5
Quite nice, bring on Tommy
N.W.A.
2/5
Sepultura
2/5
The music is hard to place. Not quite my thing.
Eagles
3/5
That was another middle-of-the-road album. Decent, but nothing special.
Various Artists
3/5
Classical Christmas music two weeks after Christmas doesn't go down well. Okay, I'll give a...
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Nice, old-fashioned Stones.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
2/5
In my opinion it feels like old junk
The Monks
1/5
Undoubtedly innovative synthesizer music at the time, boring music today
Funkadelic
2/5
Only being able to listen to part of it. I didn't find it very convincing.
Aerosmith
3/5
I thought the best song on this album was "Walk This Way." Well, I can't give this album more than a...
Beastie Boys
1/5
Hmmm, this doesn't excite me. Quite the opposite.
Radiohead
3/5
Beautiful dreamy music
Tori Amos
4/5
Surprisingly beautiful music, reminds me a bit of Kate Bush
Queen
4/5
Oddly enough, I've never listened to this classic album before. It's definitely an album you have to hear.
Baaba Maal
2/5
I really need to listen to this multiple times to appreciate it.
Neil Young
3/5
Nice, but nothing more than that
David Bowie
4/5
I have a soft spot for Bowie and don't mind at all that he appears several times on this list
Jack White
4/5
Surprisingly nice music
Venom
2/5
Metal is like Marmite, you either love it or hate it.
The Modern Lovers
2/5
The Killers
3/5
The music sounds very familiar and even timeless in the sense that I couldn't say, "This is typical years... music."
Steely Dan
3/5
Nice to listen to the entire album once
Stevie Wonder
5/5
What an amazing album, give that man a statue
Nick Drake
3/5
Nice, quiet guitar music, not earth-shattering but fine
Tangerine Dream
3/5
Beautiful zen-like music, too bad half of the album is not available on Spotify.
I listened to the entire album on YouTube instead of Spotify. It's funny to read the comments there. The music would be perfect for scaring people away. For once, I can appreciate it.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Familiar, but not so special anymore in my opinion. The most special thing was that there was a real zipper on the cover that actually opened.
Van Morrison
4/5
I once saw "Van the Man" perform at North Sea Jazz. Not really jazz, but a brilliant performance nonetheless.
Harry Nilsson
3/5
"Without You" is a beautiful song. I find the whole album more of the same.
3/5
Living legends are rare. I can imagine it was fantastic to attend this concert.
Janis Joplin
4/5
Isn't Janis the figurehead of the hippie era? Timeless music, in any case.
David Bowie
4/5
Another great album from David Bowie
Snoop Dogg
2/5
My expectations were low—it's not my favorite type of music—but it was surprisingly good. Although I don't think I'd spontaneously listen to it again.
Dolly Parton
3/5
I know Dolly Parton is big in America. I'll miss the cultural background. Nice, but nothing more than a...
Megadeth
1/5
Let me put it this way: This music is not suitable for the office
Ute Lemper
2/5
I don't know. What should I think of this? It just doesn't feel quite right.
Iron Maiden
3/5
It's amazing how melodic this album is.
Marvin Gaye
3/5
Exactly the music you expect from Marvin Gaye
Sonic Youth
4/5
What nice music!
Iggy Pop
4/5
Now tell me. Who doesn't get excited about Lust for Life?
The xx
3/5
Some songs sound vaguely familiar. Nice to listen to.
The Allman Brothers Band
2/5
Quietly flowing music. An average of 11 minutes per song.
Booker T. & The MG's
1/5
Green Onions is the only song I recognize and like.
The Psychedelic Furs
2/5
In my opinion this is one Talk too many
X-Ray Spex
2/5
Undoubtedly incredibly innovative at the time. Now, I'm not impressed.
LCD Soundsystem
2/5
This was clearly the era of the synthesizer and the drum machine. It gets boring after a while.
The Zombies
2/5
Time of the season is the only known song on it
B.B. King
3/5
Legendary artist, nice to hear the background sounds and the interaction with the audience
Incubus
3/5
The first song made me think, no way, not another band like that. Over time, however, I started to appreciate it more and more.
Eels
4/5
This one deserves to be on the list. What a beautiful album.
Jean-Michel Jarre
4/5
Track 4 in particular is a pleasure to listen to
Steely Dan
3/5
Yeah, what should I think of this? Nice music, sure, but it doesn't do much for me.
The Kinks
2/5
Nowadays, I find this stale music. Where is Lola?
The Cure
5/5
Simply brilliant and every bit as melancholic as I anticipated.
Elliott Smith
4/5
Beautiful music. Reminds me of Belle & Sebastian. That's a compliment.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
The Peppers always had a rough image for me (thanks to their sock act), but their music is less rough. If you have "Under the Bridge" on your album, you definitely deserve...
Count Basie & His Orchestra
3/5
What beautiful classical and cheerful music this is.
Santana
3/5
On the one hand I think, “What a hero,” on the other hand I know I won’t be listening to this album again on my own.
The Young Rascals
2/5
It's never been so hard to give a rating. Immediately after listening to the album, I completely forgot what I was listening to.
Fela Kuti
4/5
What nice, swinging music this is.
LTJ Bukem
2/5
This is by far the longest album I've ever listened to and after 20 minutes I was already thinking "How much longer is this going to go on?"
Adele
5/5
21 can be considered a modern classic. What great songs are on this album.
Herbie Hancock
4/5
Distinctive, instrumental, and swinging (and a well-known name besides)
Peter Gabriel
3/5
Peter Gabriel is an idiosyncratic artist who occasionally scores a global hit as well. Class.
Ryan Adams
2/5
Gently flowing music where one track is interchangeable with the next
Fats Domino
3/5
What a classic this is
Cream
2/5
Undoubtedly very innovative at the time. Now I had to listen twice before I could form a clear picture.
The Go-Go's
3/5
Our Lips Are Sealed is, of course, a great song. The rest of the album is decent enough.
Bebel Gilberto
3/5
Relaxed Latin music
Q-Tip
2/5
Quite nice, but not my thing
Steve Winwood
2/5
Another worldwide hit, but I find the rest only mediocre.
Amy Winehouse
5/5
Amy Winehouse broke through at a time when I was less involved with music. Since then, I am still surprised that this album is from 2006.
James Brown
5/5
It is only right that James Brown is called the Godfather of Soul. What a great live recording this is.
Madonna
5/5
Madonna is rock solid. This album is very different from what we are used to from the big hits. However, it is a gem.
Patti Smith
4/5
50 years old and still making great music. That deserves a compliment.
Minor Threat
3/5
Go, go, go. Short and intense.
Paul McCartney and Wings
4/5
Mrs. Vandebilt is by far the best song on this album. Ho, hey ho.
George Harrison
2/5
My Sweet Lord is one of the few nice songs on this double album.
The Divine Comedy
1/5
Sorry, I can't find anything appealing about this album.
The Cars
2/5
I listened to it at work today. Only a few people knew the band. I think it's nice, but not very special.
Faust
4/5
An intriguing cover and an intriguing album. What more could you want?
The Velvet Underground
3/5
You totally belonged if you had this banana album. Even then, it was clear that Lou Reed would become a global star.
Led Zeppelin
2/5
Well, what am I supposed to think of this? Admittedly a big name, but to be honest, I find the music disappointing.
The Thrills
2/5
Somehow, I had expected more from this.
Machito
4/5
Music with brass always works well for me.
Elvis Costello
3/5
I never understood why Costello was so famous. This album is okay.
Johnny Cash
3/5
You wouldn't expect it, would you? An album full of covers on this list. But still, there is something about it.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
At some point, the Stones became too polished for me. That's why I once bought a compilation with the early songs. Wonderful, even though this is perfectly fine.
Frank Sinatra
3/5
Frank Sinatra is a kind of time machine. When I listen to him, I suddenly find myself in the previous century.
Screaming Trees
2/5
Listened to it and forgot about it again. In short, this album made no impression.
Soul II Soul
5/5
What a wonderful album. Besides Back to Life, there are many more great songs on it.
Billy Joel
3/5
What is sometimes a pity about this list is that it contains good artists who, in my opinion, have made better albums. Perhaps those will appear on this list as well.
Pixies
2/5
Well, there are plenty of people who think the Pixies are great. I, however, have never really understood that. Now that I'm listening to this album, it still doesn't click with me.
Sonic Youth
2/5
That's a nice cover, better than most music.
Eric Clapton
5/5
Strangely enough, I didn't even think "I Shot the Sheriff" was the best song. Other songs were many times better.
New York Dolls
3/5
Never heard of it, surprising, but I don't think I'll ever listen to it again.
