Varied sound, very interesting and textured. Weirder than I thought it'd be. Kinda noodly, but some deep jams.
Good, but gets a little old after a while
Surprisingly interesting. Somewhere between Prince and Mooney Suzuki, or Elliot Smith even.
A few cool moments. But mostly just boring.
A little forced, maybe? Nice melodies.
Cool and snotty midwestern hard rock
This sounds like slint spiderland sounds. Fugazi but worse.
Not what I expected. Cinematic, and often quite lovely.
A moment in time. Prince's sound?
Fun, weird, tons of samples. Skits that started the trend?
Fine. Better than I thought, but boring.
Like Devo, but more stuck up and less fun.
Crunchy dusk music from a house in the woods. A moment in time.
Kind of interesting musically. But nothing grabs me. And it sounds like there is weird pedophile-y stuff (really). Like a poorly fitted brown 70's suit with ornamental lapels.
Meh. It's interesting I guess? Too showy, voice too soft, too cute.
Didn't really know about Elastica, but had heard "Connection." Angular and melodic, poppy British (?) post-punk.
I've always found Radiohead extremely boring, and nothing has changed.
Dark and dangerous, but also too theatrical. I just don't LOVE Bowie.
Man this must have been crazy to hear in 1970. Dark, foreboding, hard but melodic. I prefer other hard rock from the era or Paranoid though.
Bright, sexy, classy. Floating in the city breeze. My favorite song on the album is "Sunshine," which has lowest plays out of all of them on spotify.
Well written 'tambourine on the 2 and 4' pop rock. Nothing wrong with it. A little boring though.
Moody but bright, perhaps reflective of the musician. Or the location and time?
Just, wow. One of my favorite jazz albums.
A couple okay songs, a couple bad ones. I feel about this album now the way I did when it came out.
Not horrible, but too dramatic and prog-y for my taste. Give me the pop songs!
A mood, to be sure. Kind of boring.
A jam or two, but mostly kinda sappy and boring.
“Clowns caress you, figures undress your fear…”
Real hard and real groovy. Crazy that this came out in 1969. Bitches Brew but rock.
Soft and lovely, but haunting.
More creative than Damned Damned Damned, but I prefer that straight ahead rock. You can tell with this album that they were heading toward glam/prog...
One of my top ten albums? One moment for this one stands out in particular, although there have been several. One afternoon in our sun-drenched little apartment, my future wife and I laid next to each other on the ground and just listened to this album. Sublime.
A little dated, like all early hip hop, but full of jams. This must have been so exciting when it first came out.
Yet another album from Dad. They don't call him the king for nothing.
Not a fan of futuristic music, or EDM or R&B. Not my thing.
This came out during a time in my life where I was avoiding anything at all popular. Now I finally know these guys. Different than I thought. Like the strokes but more polite.
Straightforward grunge rock, a little more U2 than Nirvana. My opinion of Pearl Jam has always been about 3 stars, except for the music video where he jumps off the rafters.
Not as good as live, but still pretty darn good. Turns out Free Bird is totally awesome. Thanks for suggesting I take another listen, Dad.
Such a good, tight album. JW's best.
This album sounds like 2020.
The best late-night drive.
Loose and rowdy. They sure don't make prison shows the way they used to.
Some good songs, some boring songs. Not my favorite LZ.
i can't help but compare this to Funeral, and it doesn't come close. I had to look up Win Butler after so many reviewers here mentioned (typically) that they like the music but don't like him. I'm not sure he's guilty of anything, and if he is I don't care. This album would get 3 stars regardless.
Boring. Cool that's it's African, I guess?
Jazzy and hip, obviously. A little meandering for my taste.
Really good, direct, and affecting. I heard the other day that when Trent Reznor first heard Hurt, he realized it was no longer his song.
Classic Merle, I probably wouldn't be able to tell this album from his other earlier ones. But great stuff.
Didn't know these guys, apparently it's a British thing. Not bad, not great.
From the intro, with top billin', subway noises, and west coast trolling, this album hits hard. One of the classic examples of golden era hip hop, skits and all.
So that's who wrote all these catchy songs! Pretty fun album, both angular and smooth.
The author must be British...
Didn't think I'd like it, but pretty cool actually. Very cinematic, cooler John Hughes.
If you're in a Nick Drake kind of mood, nothing hits better. Wearing a sweater looking sadly out the window.
Also better than I thought it was gonna be. Listening on good headphones helps.
Some good songs, but too British for me
Apparently this album marked the beginning of a new funkier direction for the Temptations. But it's not the most interesting funk direction. It's not bad...
Some great melodies, obviously very Beatles-y. But too peppy and clean production for my taste.
Cool soundscapes. Well, not cool exactly. Kind of dorky. But cool.
Now my heart is full!? Like the Smiths but without the angst. Turns out I may have enjoyed that part the most.
If you're gonna be theatrical, at least go hard.
I remember being disappointed when this came out, but it's not bad! Light and groovy, but also introspective.
Probably the best Morrisey I've heard. But I just can't imagine putting this on instead of the Smiths.
I've always wanted to like Jimmy more than I do. Is there such a thing as too much groove?
One of my top 20 albums for sure, maybe higher (you know how those things go). I can't count the amount of times I went out skating with this on the discman.
Very pretty, sparkling syrup. Can't deny it is good, but not something I'd listen to often.
Jangly and melodic, harder than I thought. But man, so many British albums on here!
Some great songs on here, but I've generally liked solo JW less than with a group, and this is no exception. I miss the rambling neo-western hard feel of the Dead Weather, and the simplicity of White Stripes (more Meg drumming please). Songs on here like Hypocritical Kiss and then Weep Themselves to Sleep are just boring.
TRex is great, although this isn't as great as EW.
Great songwriting! The first song blew me away. Musically, I prefer the songs with a band.
Three of the best rock songs ever, a handful of other solid songs, and then just some boring filler. Would give it 3 stars if not for the big three.
If you don't like the pretenders you're either too soft or too hard. Get over it!
I'm sure I'm not the first one to call this album boring. Kinda cool I guess, but just wasn't super interested in anything.
I'd pick another blaxploitation movie over this one. It's fine!
Can't get past the Spotify album version's horrible stereo mixing. But this would likely get 2-3 stars on a strong listen anyway. Yeah Eddie Kendricks' departure didn't kill the Temptations, but they woulda been better with him.
What a moment when this came out. Wow. Still his best overall album.
I spent years hating U2, not sure why. This is pretty good!
Good, more angular than Blue.
Wow, this album blew me away. Perfect for a hazy fall evening with the fam. Maybe the most slept on album for me on this whole list.
A few awesome songs. I listened to the complete show, and it was maybe a little much. The classic LP may be a better choice.
So cool, and one of the best covers ever. Maybe my favorite reggae-influenced punk album? Hmmm...
Some songs 4.5, some 1. Average or less overall.
Hard and classic Chicago blues, hard to argue with.
Well done, just a little too adult contemporary for my taste.
I prefer a bit earlier or later Stones, but this is still awesome.
She should be in musicals. Maybe she is. I don't care.
uneven, even for JW. But not bad. 4 for songs, 3 for the whole album.
About as classic as it gets.
British adult contemporary?
I want a list made by an American
Heavy. This seems like just as much a cultural touchpoint as Altamont in terms of the end of the 60's.
Hasn't held up quite as well as I thought it would since I was 17, but still some jams.
Definitely my favorite British electronica. Probably by a long, long shot.
Some of these songs rip. But some are kind of boring piano? Also seems super long. And his voice is annoying.
Fun! I've never LOVED Beck, but he's a great musician I always like listening to.
About as cool as it gets.
Liked this one more than I thought I would. But still so boring.
Live would be 5 stars for sure.
Some really fun tracks, but totally different level than Shadow.
loud and weird but also catchy.
Some good songs but feels a little detached in a hipstery way.
Wow so 90's. Don't like his voice. And a good example of why anything that came from Sublime sucks.
