Loved the album. The music is soulful and smooth. The lyrics are powerful--would like to listen to it again to pay more attention to the message.
It was fine. I'd love hearing a church organist play this at a baseball game, but otherwise, meh. A lot of it was cover of popular songs, and honestly, I'd rather just listen to the originals (of which Booker T was likely playing).
Had never listened to this album. She has one helluva a voice, but I didn't like the songs as much as her later stuff. More jazz club vibes. Still enjoyable just to listen to her sing.
The album is fantastic. BIG's wordplay is so good. You can hear hip hop genre changing on this album. He begins with reference to old school MCs like Grand Master Flash, and BIG wraps over a beat suitable for Flash on the first song Tings Done Changed. As the album progresses, the beats become more complex, and BIG's voice shines when it's contrasted with sweeter accompanying music like the female voice on Juicy. You can tell he's finding his style on this record.
It's David Byrne. It's weird but also has a listenable quality.
The song with the same name rocks. Not an every day listen, but when you need to get amped, this album is perfect.
Great voice. Good introduction into punk--can feel some Motown influences, too.
Great album. Baba O'Reilly is the best, and while not as good, the other songs hold up.
Did not see this coming. The album was just fun to listen to--had a great sonic quality. Plus Master P on the interludes.
It's Dylan. Starts a bit more poppier, less folksy.
The music was interesting, but at the end of the day, it's jazz. I wouldn't mind listening to this at a bar or restaurant, but otherwise, meh.
Great voice. Music gets a bit repetitive. Except for Million Years Ago... nice change of pace.
Wow. That was an experience. Sounded a bit like Bowie, but not Bowie. They seem peak new wave.
Great rock album. Strong guitars. Lightning fast drums. Love it
It's Jimi Hendrix. There are some songs and guitar riffs that are amazing. There are parts that are just ... weird.
Loved listening to it. Guiltiness is my favorite on the album.
Powerful rock. Had never heard of them before, but they're great
Strong album. Great voice. A few misses, but overall, good blending from punk to more mainstream rock.
I never liked Moby as a person. Couldn't tell you why, but after listening to this album, I know why. Half of it is pretentious crap. The other half is some brilliant sound, but he just repeats it for the entire song, ruining anything interesting. Do better, Moby. Or don't. You suck.
It’s jazz. Interesting but still jazz
Solid CCR album. Good variety in songs
No thanks. Not really into the music.
Just not my style of reggae music. Introspective.
Great voice. Some songs are bangers, and overall, the album is listenable. Just ok, though.
Opens great with War Pigs and Paranoid. Iconic voice, awesome guitars and drums. Album goes hard. Some songs (Electric Funeral, Planet Caravan) are just ok.
Iconic guitars. Feel the blues influences. Wild Horses is incredible.
Experimental music. Not really my style. Nothing I'd want to listen to again.
I don't get it. He's got a great voice though.
Catchy beats, but they seem a little dated. He's got a solid sense of humor. I'm just ok with his rap style.
Lots of guitar riffs. Lots of them. Feels like metal equivalent of a jam band. Still rocks
Different than what I was expecting from The Temptations, but I like it.
Not sure how to feel about them. Overall, I liked it. Good listen and a bit more punk on the pop-punk scale.
Amazing album. I remember listening to it growing up, and the album still holds up. Champagne Supernova will remain the best, but nearly every song is fantastic. Oasis is the best British band since the Beetles.
Really dig their new wave vibe. High energy, solid rock, weird concept.
Great album. There are some good songs by themselves, but so much better when played in order.
It's Bowie, so it's of course going to be enjoyable to listen to. But there wasn't anything great about the album.
Couldn't find the actual album, but apparently, The Early Years 1964-1965 has a similar track listing. Never heard of them before. Not heavy on the lyrics, but I dig their style. They span genres. Sounds like The Doors at times, and 50s bubble gum pop at other times.
Good ambient music. Wouldn't mind listening to it again. If I heard it again, would I know that I was listening to William Orbit? Not a chance.
Feels like a heavy metal jam band. Lots of drum solos and guitar riffs. The album is angry and aggressive--gets you pumped up, but I felt like a lot of songs just rolled into each other without much distinction. Still hard.
Riders on the Storm is amazing. Great album. The blues guitar with Morrison's voice is fantastic.
Great album. First Nirvana album I ever owned. Every time I listen to it, it just sounds fresh and unique. Kurt's voice just plays so well with the acoustic guitar. Love this.
His music isn't my favorite style, but his voice and the music is interesting. Don't mind listening to it, at all.
No clue what he sang about, but a fun album. Some of the songs have a Lionel Richie "All Night Long" vibe, but for the most, a distinct voice.
I don't know, man. It sounds like the Beach Boys, but instead written and performed by a bunch of young guys on drugs, it's written and performed by a bunch of old guys on drugs, which I suppose it is. Sure?
Interesting songs, and some are among my favorites. They managed to explore the different genres that influence rock.
Fun album, solid pop songs. Sounded a bit like early ska, maybe that's the post-punk. He has such a distinct sound
Classic album. The style carries through the songs. Great songs. Ain't No Fun is funny, but of a different era.
Not my style, but I didn’t mind it as background music
It was fine. Not my preference, but didn't mind listening to it.
The album is incredible. At some point, nearly every song on this album has been my favorite Zeppelin song. This album goes hard.
I don't much like Prog Rock, but if I did like Prog Rock, I think I'd love this album. When the song had no lyrics, I wanted lyrics. When the song had lyrics, I wanted no lyrics.
Sounds like the Beatles, but not as good. Nothing particularly pulls me in.
Sounds like a listening tour of New Wave from the 80s. Some sounds like Depeche Mode, some sounds like Culture Club. "How Can You Expect to be Taken Seriously?" is a rip off of "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul.
Sad boy rock. It's good. Better Depeche Mode songs and albums.
When I think of punk music, I think of The Clash. Not a huge fan of punk, but at least it's short.
The album was massive. It's my favorite of her three albums. Her voice is incredible. The ballads get a bit tedious for me, perhaps because this album was so ubiquitous. I prefer the pop songs, but still awesome.
Different style of punk that I'm accustomed to, but I liked it. More blues influence. Feels like a forerunner for Kings of Leon
God, what a great album. Such a great blending of pop rock. The hit singles from this album are some of the most famous rock songs, but the other songs on the album are about as good.
I've enjoyed the Arctic Monkeys. The guitar on Mardy Bum kills me, I love it. But I had never listened to an entire album. Still love them. I can't figure out why I enjoy them so much, but I guess the guitars, and the punk ethos, and the voice all come together nicely.
Such a smooth voice. Sounds like early Motown. Feels like the music for a James Bond song.
The music is definitely interesting, but I'm not particularly a big fan of it.
There are some songs that sound like a Beatles cover band wanted to write songs in that style, but suitable for the 90s audience. There's a strong early 90s vibe with the music. Nothing grabs me
It started off weird, but I was willing to give it a chance because it sounded different. It never improved.
Started off so strong. The blues. The rock. The rawness. By the end, I got a little worn out, but overall, loved the album.
Such a fun album. Their sound on this album is iconic
I love this album. The beats are so interesting. It feels just as fresh as if it were made yesterday, but it also seems of a different era. Lauryn Hill moves so easily between rapping and singing.
Guitars were more bluesy than metal. Ozzy was featured, but he's not yet the Ozzy that became famous. Still a good album
The album is kinda all over the map. Solid listen--like that it opens with the smooth acoustic My My, Hey Hey and ends with the gritty electric Hey Hey, My My. Clear there's a lot going on in the album, but even when not listening intently to the lyrics, I still enjoyed listening to it.
Not what I was expecting from The Temptations. Some songs I liked. Some I didn't. Glad to have listened to it
If i were to think of Irish punk folk music, The Pogues is exactly what I'd think of. The songs have beautiful melodies, and the rock pairs well. That being said, after about five songs, I had my fill.
Didn't much care for them when they came out. The album is fine. Their hits aren't bad, but just overplayed.
The guy can play guitar, and it sounded like a helluva concert. Overall though, the album was just fine.
I'm not a big fan of prog rock. It wasn't the worst thing I've listened to (Moby), but I'm fine never listening to this again.
I don't hate this album, even if it's just a bunch of whining. Even though fans of The Smiths are obnoxious, I will grant them that the music is certainly interesting.
It might be their most mainstream album, but whatever. This album rocks. Enter Sandman might be the best intro song to an album. This is the Metallica I knew
It's fast. It's more pop than punk. Nothing memorable
Not my most favorite Marley songs. It was just fine
The first song surprised me, and I thought I was in store for an unexpected listen. But as it dragged on, I was disappointed. The Supertramp keyboard sound gets old.
Wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Feels like a mixture between Dire Straits and Tom Petty. Not as distinct a voice as Tom Petty, but good.
Some of my favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs. The album starts strong, fades, and then finishes strong.
Interesting album. Some vibes like Childish Gambino's Redbone. I like it, but not entirely sold.
A handful of the songs were ok, but I wouldn't listen to the album again.
Just meh. It was new wave pop. Nothing stood out.
I couldn't find the original album, so I listened to an essentials playlist of him. You can't help but smile when you listen to his music. That New Orleans feel. His voice. I love it
I understand the significance of this album in terms of transition between two periods, and it's got a few good songs. But otherwise, meh.
What a great album. Thunder Road is among the best. The rest of it is good. The album might be short, but it doesn't waste a minute.
It's jazz, so I'm just meh. Dig the organ sound
I liked the Lindsey Buckingham and Katherine McVie songs more than I thought I would. I disliked the Stevie Nicks songs more than I thought I would. Interesting album.
Not my style. Solid lead guitar riffs, but they seemed to get repetitive
I've found a lot of albums that I don't mind having on in the background, but I'd never actively seek out listening to it again. This album falls squarely into that category.
Nothing stood out as memorable, but the pop/alternative vibe brought waves of nostalgia. I wouldn't actively seek out this album, but it was an enjoyable listen.
I like Personal Jesus, but otherwise, no thank you.
Maybe it was the time of day when I was listening to it--grilling for dinner, but I really enjoyed the album. Plus Huey Lewis
Great voices. Some of the singles are legit. But really the album drags by the end
It's not as bad as I expected. Kinda like Oasis, but instead of just doing heroin and alcohol, they did ecstasy
Please make it stop. I like some of his singles, so I thought this would at least be listenable. I was wrong. There's not enough drugs in this world to make it tolerable.
For so many reasons, I want to dislike this album, but there's something about it that amuses me.
Not the biggest fan of jazz, but man, her voice is incredible.
It's AC/DC, so it's going to rock. But it's not nearly as good as Back in Black. I just kinda wished I was listening to that album.
Not the queen I was looking fir
Good background music and relaxing voice.
Feels a bit more electronic version of Taylor Swift. I'm impressed. Solid music. Good songwriting. Interesting pop album
The album was interesting. Had some strong points, but not my favorite.
Never mad to listen to CCR. Missing a few of my favorites, but learned about Penthouse Pauper.
I won't lie that I didn't enjoy this album when it came out. Despite owning the album, I don't know that I've ever listened to all of the album. I think Kid Rock is the worm that inhabits RFK's brain, but this album isn't too bad. Some of the songs are stupid, but there's some gold.
Great album. Some of the songs have almost become parodies of hippie culture. They're better when they have Neil Young.
I'm torn on this one. I don't much care for techno music, but I enjoy some of their hits. But in the end, it just gets repetitive.
I can't figure out why I want to like The White Stripes, but they just don't do it for me. The album is interesting, and some songs are worthwhile. I'm just not a fan. Dunno.
I'm sure this album is hugely influential, and my tastes are too boring to understand this album. Whatever. Nico sucks. This album isn't great.
Despite being from Englnd, it sounds very much as early southern rock. Bluesy. Good enough
I've never much liked RHCP. Californication is fine, but no thanks.
That was mean of them to put two RHCP albums in a row. I disliked this album less than I disliked Californication, but I still disliked this album. If the other one is a low 2 star (2.1), this is a mid 2 star (2.6).
Of all the punk albums this list has made me listen to (and there are several), this might be my favorite one yet. Interesting sounds. Early versions of Muse.
Had low expectations. I like the more poppy Talking Heads songs, but when David Byrne gets into his bag, I start to lose interest. Probably not cool or smart enough to understand. But man, I was wrong about this album. It was just so weird and interesting.
Couldn't find this album. Listened to Funkadelic - Funkadelic. Wasn't as much funk as I expected. It was fine
Do they sound kinda like Oasis? Yeah, but that's a good thing. Solid album. Drags toward the end, but good listen.
Great album. I was nervous with early Rolling Stones, but the blues shows through in the album. Love it
Not my style, but really didn't mind it as background music.
It's Elvis with his classic songs. Not as much rock as I'd come to expect, but you can't deny the album.
Fun Prince album. It's a bit weird, but weird in a way that made Prince iconic and unique.
I love Simon and Garfunkel, but this is definitely on the softest side. Good songs, but not my favorite.
Maybe I'm getting worn down by all of these new wave albums, but this one as at least interesting. Still not great.
Felt classy while listening to it
It's The Smiths. I don't particularly like them, but the album was fine.
Felt like they were playing jazz on amphetamines--fast tempo. I liked the interplay between the piano and the drums.
Knowing them only from "Come on Eileen", I was unfamiliar with the rest of the catalog. I liked it more than I expected, but the singer's whining voice kinda gets old.
Kinda all over the place and hard to pin down. Felt at a pivot point in music
Hit of nostalgia. Starts of strong and then kind goes downhill. Still a well produced album
It's Radiohead. It's weird. I always loved the Pyramid Song. I don't know that I'd ever care to get more than surface level on Radiohead, so this was fine in the background.
Great album. So many great songs
Started off strong, but by the end, it was a bit too slow and emo.
The album really picked up after White Rabbit. Like the bluesy and guitary heavy sound.
I liked the style of this album. I'm a fan of the Beasties, and even though this didn't have their biggest hits, I like the production on the album.
Dunno. Didn't much care for it
Loved this album. It was so smooth and interesting
I love the smooth rock, and there's some awesome songs on this album.
Great album. I think it might be my favorite Dylan. "If You See Her, Say Hello" is the best.
I just love their smooth flow. The songs all blended together, but not in a bad way.
Good album. Not as good as I was expecting, but good nonetheless.
Great album. Just love the energy, the songs.
It's iconic rock. Not much else to say. It might be a victim of it's own success--that might be the only reason it's not getting 5-stars.
I started thinking I that I might've been too hasty in my dismissal of Bjork. I liked the moody production, and while her voice can grate at times, I thought it worked well with the moody production. By the time I was nearing the end of the album, I had too much of this "avant garde" music.
Perfectly pleasant listening
Love it. Rock and roll at it's purest
I am uncertain whether this qualifies as music and not torture devices produced by the CIA. I was ready to confess after 30 seconds listening to We Carry On.
Love it. The guitar and voice are so distinctive.
Nothing great. Sounded like an early 80s new wave band, but not particularly interesting.
I was not familiar with Kate Bush's catalogue outside of "Running up that Hill". This album is strange. There were moments I didn't mind, but some of it was a struggle.
Awesome album cover, but not that big of a fan of thrash metal.
For the songs others have covered, I usually like their versions better than John Prine's version, but his songs are incredible.
I'd like it better if it were only one album, but still a great album. I love the way they can blend the orchestral music with rock.
