Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

1/5

I don't want to listen to this. Rock Against Ass? Rendezvous with Anus? My ears are bleeding. This is a hard no from me.

Nick Drake

3/5

Slow, sad, hard to tell when one song stops and another starts, though I am listening while I am working. Would probably like more if I listened to it a few more times.

Achtung Baby

3/5

Pleasant to listen to. Didn't really like The Fly, but I did dig most of the other songs. Would put on again to listen to while I work. "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

I listen to Time to Pretend on the regular - excited to see what other songs I like off this album. Oh, I also love Electric Feel and Kids. Rest of the album was inoffensive, and easy to listen to. I liked this album!

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

I first heard Chan Chan played by a cover band in a Paris cafe in 2016 and I have been listening regularly ever since. I have listened to this album before, but I am excited to listen again. Upbeat tunes, smooth melodies. Makes me want to sway my hips.

2112

Rush

2/5

why is the first song 20 minutes long? yeah, its just giving oldies rock. this is good music for a tailgate. Meh - not excited about this music. Will not listen again.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

This is fun! I like this album - good to listen to while working or just hanging out at home. This album cover is also sending me - omg! Would listen to this again. I realize that I am definitely listening to these albums as 'Would I listen to this again unprompted?' and not a "Is this good music?" as it seems that many of the reviews of this album have.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

4/5

Very jammy. I do enjoy listening, but it is not my favorite. I would say that I am accustomed to this music after tagging along with my husband and my friends to all the jam shows they go to. I appreciate the musicality and the talent of these musicians, but I want to sing my song and be done with it. LOL! I can understand why this is considered such a great album. Truly great musicians.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

Upbeat. I wanted to be able to sit with this album and read all the lyrics, because I really appreciate the poetry. It is not music that I would reach for on the regular.

The Coral

4/5

I have never heard of this band nor have I heard of any of the bands on the Spotify 'Fans Also Like' section. Alt-rock? But like I'm getting a little Irish punk too? I like their sound. I didn't like Skeleton Key, too heavy for me. I loved Simon Diamond though, very fun.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

1/5

First thought: oh boy! Eh, I just don't like this kind of music. I am not interested whatsoever. I hate the 'wwwaaaoohhhs'. Ew.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

2/5

It was all right. Nothing exciting or terrible. Easy to listen to. Under my Thumb is very unsettling. No thank you.

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

4/5

Am curious about this album! Some very weird sounds coming at the end of STCHTHOTP. "Something Wicked This Way Comes" - doesn't the student choir sing this song in Harry Potter? Okay, maybe not, there were no words in SWTWC. Yeah, the other reviews weren't kidding, this is a movie soundtrack..to a movie that doesn't exist. I love movie scores! Loving the weirdness of this music. Big fan of Dirty Barry.

Killing Joke

1/5

Not excited from the get-go. I do not enjoy this music. I want to turn it off, but will continue listening for the integrity of this project. 6.5 songs in - is it over yet? Why are there 13 songs?

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

3/5

Is this project/site based out of the UK? There have been a lot of UK artists that I have listened to but have never heard of . This isn't my favorite kind of music, but wasn't terrible to listen to. Not sure why this album is in this project.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

2/5

The music is cool and its not hard to listen to, but it is just not my jive.

Odelay

Beck

1/5

Spotify grayed-out/wouldn't allow me to listen to Jack-Ass or Disckobox. I wonder what that's about. There is a nonzero amount of yelling/screeching in this album that I am not about. High 5 (Rock the Catskills) is terrible, so much screeching, I don't like this at all. EW!

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

1/5

I don't want to listen to this. Rock Against Ass? Rendezvous with Anus? My ears are bleeding. This is a hard no from me.

Street Life

The Crusaders

4/5

Ooooo yes, am loving this horn! Smoothy, funky jazz. Very nice.

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

3/5

Who? I love acoustic singer-songwriter music, but this is really boring. Sounds like music that would be playing in a cafe on a Tuesday morning. Definitely easier to listen to than some of the other albums this project has thrown at me, but it's still not my favorite.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

I like to say that I like most music and, yeah, I mean this music is all right, but I am not in love with this. I don't really want to keep listening. I don't want to put it on again.

Different Class

Pulp

2/5

I enjoy the music as long as I don't pay attention to the lyrics that are all about sex with definite nods to nonconsensual sex.

Play

Moby

3/5

This is fun! It definitely isn't my every day kind of music, but this is definitely one of my favorite albums so far in this project. I do enjoy the repetitive nature of the music. Okay, but now about half way through, I'm ready to move on. Me on the last note of the album: thank goodness!

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

4/5

I really liked this album! Not my normal genre, but really great music.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

4/5

I really liked this album! There were a lot of good tracks and I was pleasantly surprised by the piano instrumentals at the end.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

It was all right

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Fun! Vey 80s! Go ladies! Not the most musically complex or wowing album, but definitely deserves a spot on this list of must-hear albums.

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

1/5

No. I am sad to denigrate the integrity of this project, but I could not listen to the whole album.

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

Yeah, it's all right.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

3/5

I liked the upbeat nature of the music. It was nice and easy to listen to. It was nice listening to Hip-Hop and not having every other word be a cuss word.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Oh! I didn't know this was the Mr. Blue Sky people. Love this song, as does most of the rest of the planet. I did enjoy listening to the rest of this album.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

I am sure that this is important and belongs on this list, it just isn't my type of music.

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

3/5

I really enjoy the Intro to Indian Music at the beginning to help those of us who are unfamiliar with this music! It was nice music, but not my style.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. Maybe I was imagining the Beach Boys? It was a lot, but on the whole it was pretty good.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

5/5

Gorgeous gorgeous

War

2/5

Not good, not bad. It is fine.

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Ramones

3/5

Okay, I have heard Blitzkrieg Bop. It is popular in mainstream media. We'll see how the rest of the album goes. Wow I do love how short all of their songs are. These songs all sound very similar. This album is still playing? Almost went to change the music and remembered that I am listening to this music for the project. OH WAIT - LISTEN TO MY HEART IS THE THEME SONG FOR A.P. BIO. LOVE!!!

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

LOL everyone on the planet knows Right Here Right Now. Fucking in Heaven is terrible. So repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Soul Surfing just started and I am impatiently waiting for this album to be over.

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

4/5

Me thinking that Alan Jackson wrote Summertime Blues....meanwhile Blue Cheer in 1968.... I liked the album! Classified as 'heavy metal' but they are early enough that it gives more bluesy/jam band vibes which I prefer.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Quite good

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

3/5

It was all right. Nothing special. The sound was definitely Kings of Leon, but also all the songs sounded so similar.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Smooth, nice to listen to. Sometimes his falsetto scrapes my ears, but on the whole, this was a very enjoyable album.
