It was solid swingy jazz. Not the kind of thing I typically listen to. I found myself wanting vocals but the sax and organ came through in the same way
I'm a fan of Nico. I appreciate the avant-garde style of some of these songs, but some are so jarring that it isn't the kind of thing I want to listen to more than once.
Wonderful voice. I like the range and variety. Solid!
Solid blues guitar, seems like a classic album. I like the live aspect of the album.
Definitely a classic - can't say I'd go back to it often for any reason but reading up on it was rewarding. Truly the golden era of hip hop.
Pretty cool, the mix was very interesting. Glad to be exposed to it.
Love the mood, very familiar with the first song. Great hanging out or driving album.
Fun, psychedelic. Wasn't sure if some of the songs were covers. Reminded me of B-52s. Probably wouldn't go back to this unless I wanted some weird music to party to, which I imagine was kind of the point.
Really cool, psychedelic. I appreciate it and Bowie's genius, although the dissonance became a bit hard to bear at times.
I liked this slightly more than the last Bob Marley album. "Jamming" is classic.
This one has been my last favorite so far... Maybe if I was British I would like it more? Or if I was alive in the 70s. I can really imagine liking it if I was more familiar with the artist and his story. I respect him and the mix is actually very nice, but I found myself wanting to skip every song. I typically don't dig the trippy kind of avant garde albums, kind of reminds me of the David Bowie 2016 album.
I have actually never listened to Radiohead. Album was pretty good, I can hear the political influence and I've become to appreciate that in music more, especially as it ages. It's a good mix and what I imagined Radiohead to sound like I suppose. I can imagine if I was a Radiohead fan that I would have loved this album when it came out.
The vocals in most of the songs sound like a ghost is haunting me, but I can't say I hate it. Singer actually kind of reminds me of the Grouplove lead singer at times.
I like the guitar, piano, and drums.
Pretty cool, sounds ahead of its time somewhat. I had never heard of this band so it was nice to be exposed to something new. I like the blend of genres but I can't say too many songs popped out at me.
Had never listened to Iggy Pop. I felt like it got better as I went deeper, I think it sounds ahead of its time in some ways. Some classic songs on this album
I never really listened to the Rolling Stones. I can put myself in the time and see why it was so popular and liked. While I consider myself a fan of rock, I can't say this really sparked anything in me, I think the album is solid but to me it just sounds like 70s rock. Perhaps I'm not listening with the kind of ear this album deserves.
Kind of felt like I was in the Matrix. Feels like the band got really excited about synths and other computer generated music and that seems to be a large part of what they were hoping to deliver. After reading about it, it seems like it was really well received and was pretty popular. I can't say I really wanted to continue listening to it, but it did something for me. I guess that's art.
Incredible. I've never listened to a Queen album before and I am thankful I did, it took me on a journey in my cubicle. The guitar, the vocals, the piano, the lyrics, amazing. Seems like the best version of itself.
Really good album, I can imagine this being big at the time. I had a fun time listening to it. I had never listened to him before.
Not my favorite Arcade Fire album but it was nice to hear.
I had never heard of this band and I was pleasantly surprised. Bluesy, countercultured, with some rock n roll and great guitar.
You know, I'm one of those people that only knew Wonderwall. Good to hear other stuff from them, I know they were/are very popular but I can't say it's for me.
Gorgeous. A revelation for sure, I admittedly hadn't heard of Joan Baez before. Really really cool. Great voice and great guitar, though by the end of the album the vibrato was starting to get to me haha.
Good sense of humor, good music, good voice. I liked it!
Fantastic, I had never listened to Dolly Parton before. I can hear how a lot of different artists took inspiration from her. Great sense of humor and musicality.
Next time I go through a breakup I'll be sure to shower to some of these songs lol. Good instrumentation but it wasn't for me 😬
Really interesting, I enjoyed the variety. A great mix of sounds.
Cool to listen to, really sad to hear about his wife. My girlfriend introduced me to other world jazz that this reminds me of. Glad I listened to it.
I had never heard of this band, I thought it was a great version of this music. A kind of rock that I think anyone can listen to and like.
This album changed my life in high school. I love the Strokes so much.
Pretty good, seems like a Bob Dylan album to me haha. Nothing stood out to much but it was nice to listen to.
Eh not for me but I could see why some folks like it
Solid! Not my kind of music but it was fun to listen to!
Really cool idea for an album. While it was fun to listen to I can't say I'm wanting to listen to it again right away. Never heard of Liz but I have mad respect and I love discovering these things through my ignorance of them.
So cool. The intimate feeling of the album really puts you there, like you took a time machine back almost 70 years. Really amazing stuff.
Fine music, not really my taste
Seems like a good version of itself! Cool that it's from a time I don't associate with death metal.
Really solid jazz. Glad I listened!
I feel like this is the kind of music critics love, Jack is insanely talented and completely shreds the guitar but I can't say it's my favorite music.
I hadn't listened to much by the Police. This album was...not their best. Sorry Sting, you seem cool AF though
I had a great time listening to this album. Mind melting guitar and an iconic riff in Can You Get to That. Really cool
Eh, I don't know why this album made it on this list.
My dad used to listen to the Temptations, I was familiar with a few songs but impressed at the others. Good album
This was really cool! Got it recommended in this site the day after Brian Wilson's passing :(
Really complex and beautiful harmonies. Relatively innocent lyrics that I found poignant at times.
Eh, not for me. I feel like I'm getting a lot of these kind of UK groups where the voices are distracting for me
A nice listen, I'm only familiar with their hits and Paul's solo career. A little whispery
Reminds me of the Rolling Stones
I loved this, very glad I got to listen to this today.
Such a classic, I'm one of those 90s kid white boy Killer stans and I'll never need an excuse to listen to this album. Despite their popularity I find them exquisitely unique, it's an itch only the Killers can scratch.
An easy listen, I think it's great for being at the office or on a drive (especially through the desert).
I don't listen to much hip hop from this time but I really liked this album. I love the samples, the raps flow very well and I love the humor!
I think I've been spoiled by American rap...
What a talented man, may he rest in peace. I loved the sounds from this album and I can see how this solo album was a departure from the Beach Boys.
I can appreciate these albums but for me an album is supposed to be something that is "nice to listen to" at least to the degree at which you want to keep listening comfortably.
Pretty well made and I like the blend of genres. I can't say my experience matched the hype that it seems to get online but I enjoyed it. Also, Portuguese might be the best language for music, couldn't say why.
Iconic but perhaps not my favorite genre
I was surprised that I liked it as much as I did. I appreciated some of the musicality but otherwise got a bit bored of the big-band sounds and heavy Sinatra vibrato. I like that it was a concept album and I think the lyrics were touching at times.
I enjoyed the sounds but it all started sounding like the same song. I can imagine this being a bigger deal at the time.
Not my favorite kind of music but I can tell it is made well. Never knew this genre existed
Nick Drake is a top 5 artist for me, I could listen to this forever.
This was awesome to listen to, the mix is actually quite impressive given the year.
Having never heard of them before I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like I can hear this music influence on other bands I like.
I was pleasantly surprised. Not too many songs stood out but I felt like it was solid rock.
I can imagine why some folks would like this but I can't say it's for me. Kind of felt like I was in a matrix nightmare which I guess is cool.
This was really fun to listen to. I appreciate the humor and tenderness in the lyrics. Glad she won a Grammy
Kind of sounded like Weird Al. I did enjoy some of the lyrics
Definitely felt like I was running around in the Matrix. Got kind of old pretty quick.
Someone really used every sound from a drum machine and synth lol. I think it's a good version of itself, though I don't enjoy this kind of music that much.
I think this is the David Bowie I've been wanting to discover (I've had a few of his albums generated but they were newer). This helped me understand him as an artist a little more. I really liked the music in this album.
I liked it more than I thought I would. Pretty unique setting and glimpse into the world in this place, at this time, with this music.
Hmm. I liked aspects of it but I didn't find myself wanting to find more. I can appreciate what she made, it seems like a genuine expression of herself and taste. I feel like I can hear her sounds in other modern bands (Arcade Fire comes to mind).
Wow. I had no idea what this was going to be after reading the description. I gotta say it melted my mind. I can't believe this came out when it did, it is way way waaay ahead of its time. I don't listen to much music like this, but I'm very glad I listened to this album.
Y'know, not my favorite Kanye album. As is the case with most of his albums, I do enjoy the humor and the beats.
I liked the lyrics a lot. The rhymes are perhaps not the most rhythmic but I enjoy the vibe of these two. Nice slice into hip hop history at this time.
I was really impressed with his voice (only was familiar with Hallelujah as many people are) but the album felt a little scatterbrained.
Great soul/love music. Definitely recognize the voice and certain songs.
I don't like this kinda music :/
I had never heard of Lampchop before. I don't even really know what genre to put it in but I enjoy the music. Gentle voice and interesting lyrics, can't say I'm wanting to listen to more.
I don't like this kinda music :/
I like his voice. I can't say that the music stood out to me in a special way but I did appreciate it.
His story makes me sad. I do find the music enjoyable but for whatever I can't take it very "seriously", whatever that means for myself. It is rough and ready which has a kind of appeal, but a more polished version of the same songs would be more appealing to me.
L.A HOME OF THE BODY BAG
I had a good time listening to this but I can't say it's the best rap I've heard.
I only knew Two Weeks from this album. I did like it more than I thought I would. A lot more genre range than I anticipated.
This was really good. If I could I'd give it a 3.5 because some of the songs were too long for me - a kind of boring stylistic choice of the time maybe?
I was hoping to like this more but the vocals started to drive me a little nuts
He has a lovely voice. I really liked some if the musical choices, but overall this isn't the kind of music I tend to put on.
Maybe one day I'll write the script for this movie. Lol
Lol the other reviews speak for themselves. If I liked metal I'm sure this would be great for me!
Welp, he was a genius. Such a polished sound. Really glad this popped up for me today.
Pretty solid sound. Actually somewhat surprised. Great if you ever played Guitar Hero - Aerosmith before lol.
Fantastic music, I enjoyed listening to this.
I don't feel weird enough to enjoy this basically
I really appreciate Ray Charles. I enjoyed listening to this in the office while it rained. I'll say the lyrics really got old after a while, every song was kind of about the same thing.
This was a different world. This makes me sad to remember life before 9/11, the height of liberal democracy, where people could freely pop this cassette into their boom box and dance together as one. Now everyone hates each other and we're all going to die. Anyways it's not really good music but definitely sounds like dance music from the time.
Sounds crisp and well made. I recognize the big hits. Can't say the rest is really doing much for me but I can imagine being alive at the time thinking hell yeah this is sick. Something about those 80s snare drums or high toms are just hard for me to take seriously. And the overdrive guitar slams like whoa you guys are so rock n roll
I was actually very pleasantly surprised with this since I had never heard of Ms. Dynamite. Seems like solid hip-hop/r&b of the time. Can't say I'll ever listen to it again but I'm glad I did.
Classic first song but the rest did not interest me as much.
Does anything need to be said? A classic through and through.
Man I feel bad but this kind of music makes me yawn and I don't know why. I know The Who are legendary and the music is fine I'm just like meh.
I thought it was fine, not sure what else to say. Didn't really capture me but didn't annoy me. Solid
Well made, not my kind of music however.
Pretty cool, definitely a classic theme.
The music is well-made, but it was starting to get a bit old by the third track for me. While I like the lyrics I can't say I love the rhythm of them
This feels like what a would-be tough kid would want people to feel as they walk through in the hallways and they creepily stare at people
Well made and mixed for the most part. Never really listened to the Cure but it's like David Bowie's little brother was like hey I can do this too
