I enjoyed this a lot. There were many noises with a good beat. Solid

I was pleasantly surprised by this. Alice Cooper was always shock rock, but other than School's Out, there's a lot of non-shock-rock variety. Blues that's theatrical, lyrics that are thoughtfully constructed, and generally good music. Solid album "It tastes like roses on your breath But graveyards on your soul" goes so hard in Blue Turk.

couldn't get into it

some solid songs. too deep in association with ex

some good. most just okay

didn't like the lyrics but the music is a vibe

a very cool bridge between their earlier rock/alt sound and what evolved into the masterpiece of Kid A

it's a banger. great for dancing, great for parties, great for dance parties!

meh not my thing

pretty good. it's got a few of his #1s on it

I really like this. my french is rusty but I dig the beauty and theatricality of it

rave music

trip hop but not as good as Portishead

just okay. not dazzling

very "tom waits" of you

top 10 album

classic

it's just okay. good but not spectacular

gonna be honest, I don't really like most Eminem. there's like 2 or 3 songs I like and none of them are on this album

great beat but not keen on the content

it was okay

I actually really liked this. way different than what I usually listen to

never reaches the power and passion of Rumours. other than the song Tusk, it wasn't very memorable

no

love doo wop. so bouncy and dancy

I don't like Beck. it exemplifies 90s California rock along with Red Hot Chili Peppers. Where It's At is the standout

classic classic rock. has a few bangers and the rest are respectable

I like most of it if I don't listen to the lyrics too hard

hard to rate this one as it evokes specific feelings and basically defined the 90s. there's some things I like and some things I don't. if a partner put this album on while we were alone, I would consider it a red flag

I don't think I've ever listened to a Joy Division album all the way through but I really liked this one. it was a bit same-y but I liked it

I liked this even though I would call it eclectic. the samples, the lyrics, the pacing felt disjointed when I focused on each, but altogether each track was unique and interesting. not something I'm going to seek out, but I appreciate it

started off a little weak but it gets better. some solid songs too

nothing about this album appeals to me.

I actually like this. it's not terrible but there's nothing standout here either.

good not great

I don't have any context for this

not really my thing but I actually enjoyed some things about it. the music was varied and interesting. I wouldn't listen to the album all the way through, but it was interesting for this project.

I enjoyed this a lot. There were many noises with a good beat. Solid

This has one of my favorite songs of all time on it: Audience with the Pope. Otherwise a solid album but not anyting super impressive.

This was just okay. Her distinct voice shines, but the songs aren't good. Her second album is magic.

This is a pretty solid album, and I think more would've gotten to hit status if it wasn't for the plagiarism controversy.

I like Britpop. I like folk. I like electronica. It wasn't terrible, but I didn't really like this. This feels like something that people who listen to Ani DeFranco would like. I don't like Ani DeFranco.

I really like this. still hits just right and I like the deep nostalgia of it. not something I'll necessarily seek out but I like listening to it when I encounter it

not really my thing. not a huge fan of dad rock, and this is really indicative of that sound.

I've never heard of this band, so I was excited that this might be an album by a rock group lead by women bc of the cover but it was the 70s so it's just dude rock. This list greatly underrepresents women artists. That's not really Roxy Music's fault though. I found this album to be mid. Nothing stood out to me, but it wasn't unpleasant either. The lyrics were a whiplash going from songs about religion to love songs to break up songs. It was exhausting in a way that didn't leave me satisfied. Also, I just generally want to leave religion out of my rock music.

One of the greatest albums of all time. I could (and did) listen to it on repeat.

Interesting that I got this the day after Brian Wilson passed away. I liked this so much more than I was expecting to. A lot of it is different than the Beach Boys typical sound, and the subject matter is so progressive and deep. I'm familiar with Pet Sounds of course, but I think I like this more.

I don't hate this but I don't love it either. enjoyable to listen to but nothing quite grabs me

not like a standout but also not bad. nothing hit super hard but it wasn't unpleasant either. not sure it deserves a spot on this list but also I might be missing context

I thought I had the wrong album at first because it was so short. 2 songs at under 40 minutes. Apparently that's right though. It was okay. Not really my thing.

love love love. music as a grounding experience. music to increase awareness of self.

I don't really like Rod Stewart. I think the music is interesting - a blues rock I hadn't really noticed before. But his voice sounds like what chewing on plastic wrap must feel like. The music is good and then bam uncomfortable. This album has my favorite of his songs - Maggie May. Oh to be shacking up with a beautiful woman so intriguing that you want to cancel all other commitments and stay in bed. I really hated the cloyingly slow rendition of Amazing Grace in the middle of the album. Music jump scare and a huge misstep.

I don't know how I feel about this. No one song stuck out. I like it more than the first Tom Waits album I listened to. But I don't think I would ever just listen to this album or any one song on it.

I hate Bob Dylan's voice and "singing." There are maybe a few songs I find okay, but I tend to like covers of his songs more than the originals. He's like if the Beatles weren't clever or wholesome. Or if Zeppelin wasn't cool. Or if the Stones weren't edgy. Okay music, okay lyrics, terrible voice. Too much harmonica. By far the worst song is the degrading and tone deaf Just Like a Woman. Shut the fuck up man.

I mean, I knew who Willie Nelson was, knew his big hits, and love country/folk/American music. But this? It hit me how much I dismissed Willie Nelson. These covers are unique but immediately recognizable. I think this has convinced me that he's a great musician. I'll listen to this again and again.

ah so smooth and dance-y. I don't know what the lyrics mean but it makes me want to dance!

Message in a Bottle is the standout. Every other song is very forgettable. At least it's short.

I liked this a LOT. Nothing I didn't like about it honestly. Perfect jazz album.

I was ready to give it 1 star and move on, but after the first song it's just...not terrible or anything. there's certainly a vibe to it. a sweaty, stinky, uncomfortable vibe that takes me back to like high school football games. it smells bad but it also smells American teenager rebellion so you know it smells our kind of bad. I know they're from the UK so don't @ me.

I didn't really like this, to be honest. I mean it certainly has a sound, but it's not a sound I want to spend my time listening to. It's like jangly.

fantastic album. big talking heads fan and this has all the catchy weird beats and words I love from them

not for me

okay I like this a lot! Who-inspired in the best way possible. I don't know if I would seek it out, but maybe I will

I've always felt a bit meh on the Beastie Boys despite their seemingly universal regard. this album was super fun to listen to with a good beat, but I don't think I would seek it out specifically

not a Hendrix fan even though I know he's a rock god and all. I find his singing to be unique but monotonous. I know his playing is supposed to be important and interesting but it's just not something I want to listen to. I like All Along the Watchtower.

literally never heard of the Waterboys before today, but I think they're great! I'm a big fan of folk rock so this hit with me. I gave it 3 stars because I feel like song-to-song the quality is inconsistent and the double disc album is waaay too long. they could've given us a tight 10-12 and it would've been much better. best song is We Will Not Be Lovers

I liked it

this album feels inconsistent to me. I probably have expectations that EWF are all dance all the time, which I'm 100% here for (sad dancing is a thing!). but this album has a few dance songs and mostly not dance songs including one sermon/spoken word track that I skipped on my second listen.

I thought that I knew and like Ryan Adams, but after listening to this samey-boringness, it turns out that I only like the Ryan Adams album Easy Tiger. this album was so boring, I didn't favorite and couldn't even distinguish a single song even though I love country/folk rock and Americana music.

I went into this with an open mind despite the fact that my ex was super into the Dead and I pretty much always hated when she played them and associate them strongly with her. but I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, I don't think it's good and I wouldn't intentionally seek out listening to this but they had some great moments and it was certainly a vibe. I could see how you would want to sit in the grass and trip at a show with this playing in the background

listening to this album bumped my anxiety up to 11. I can tell it's good. I don't know what it is, but I don't think I'd ever be willing to listen to this intentionally

I didn't enjoy this. I like sad, bleak music but this was kind of on another level bc it was sad, bleak music that wasn't nice to listen to

I liked it! I've never heard the album or artist before. it was a little same-y throughout, and I didn't think he was saying anything revolutionary but I was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't really enjoy this. the first few songs were nice and polished, but at some point it stops being music and starts being noise. it wasn't bad but I wouldn't seek it out

I've heard this album before and very strongly associate Van Halen with my ex-husband who was a big fan (mostly of Van Hagar). I don't like David Lee Roth or his voice, but the result being this album is classic. it is THE classic rock and is one of the original sounds of the time. it's entertaining to listen to and I usually don't turn it off when it comes on. however, I don't seek out listening to it and so for that reason, I give it a 3. Best track: You Really Got Me Worst track: Jamie's Cryin' and On Fire are tied for last place

I don't normally like love albums but this was spectacular. hilarious chatter, entertaining music, special guest June Carter. Johnny Cash had so much charisma

all in all, I really enjoyed this. I'm more familiar with later Belle & Sebastian but this is clearly the start of their later magic. I found it more inconsistent than their later stuff but still good. Best track: She's Losing It Worst track: Mary Jo

I really like this, but I'm struggling with how to rate it. like, it's entertaining to listen to and very cool indeed. musically delicious and satisfying at the same time, would I ever seek this out as something to listen to? jazz rarely fits into my life so how I typically rate albums on here (how likely I am to relisten) doesn't work on this as well. I landed on 4 stars because it's pretty much a 5 star album that I don't want to listen to

I did a presentation on CCR for a college music appreciation class as an example of southern rock (bc of their sound; I know they're from California). the day before my presentation was scheduled, I fell and hit my head resulting in a concussion. considering it was my very first semester at college, I went into my class the next day, concussed, and gave what probably was a very strange presentation that I remember none of (I was prepared tho). my prof graded me an A but told me that he would've rescheduled my presentation bc of the concussion. I've loved CCR ever since and this album is no exception. perfect everything. an American, southern rock Beatles

I liked this well enough, but I seek out triphop and lofi so this is right up my alley. the vibe was good and dancey in that slow, flow way that I enjoy. I added 2 songs to my liked songs playlist so this gets 4 stars. Best songs: Squares and Human Being

this is pure early grunge, but it's not interesting or satisfying to listen to it. there were some okay sounds but the songs were indistinguishable so I didn't have favorites

I liked this a lot

this is just okay. very same-y all the way through

nostalgia might be influencing me here, but I really enjoyed listening to this. so many hits I remember from the 90s. they were a monster then even though I've never listened to this full album before now. it's great though

every song is too much and not enough

I like this a lot. I like the music, the vibes, the flow. everything is pretty good, but I still consider it a 3 star album objectively. I do think the vocals could be more interesting and the lyrics are okay. I bumped it up to 4 stars bc I am likely to listen to this again, even with it's flaws

hmm. got a Beach Boys album the day after Brian Wilson passed. got a Sabbath album the day after Ozzy passed. what is the universe saying to me? I've never listened to a Sabbath album all at once and all the way through. perhaps that dates me. I can see why these are the guys though. everything is good. I will say that Iron Man is overhyped and overplayed. also, the front half of the album is much better than the second half. still a classic. still a good time.

Elvis Costello is so popular and yet this was boring. lyrics were boring or insulting, music was boring or annoying, and I just didn't feel anything about these songs. there were maybe 2 songs that I wouldn't change if they came on

excellent album! so many great hits and the unknowns are solid

I like most of this. I don't know enough about funk to know how to talk about it but this is entertaining and I would listen to it again for sure

I love The Who but I feel like this live show as an album falls flat. probably was great in person

I have mixed feelings about this album. it's certainly an experience but it falls flat in a number of ways. it's like that kind of artist that doesn't really sing when they're performing but instead speaks musically. I don't have a lot of examples of that that I like. there are few interesting and solid songs but everything is quite same-y. I like her cover of working class hero even though she is no such thing. Best: Broken English and Why'd You Do It

at first, I was like "why is this guy's voice so familiar??" and then I remembered his most famous song Red Right Hand. the name "Murder Ballads" is 100% accurate for this album. weird how incredibly accurate it is. this album is most songs that I feel like are a great example of toxic masculinity. in a hating women way bit also in a like look at how cool I am way. which means I rate this very low. shout out to a toxic bi-icon in Stagger Lee. I wish I liked it more.

weird but very enjoyable. it was a rollercoaster from good to bad and back again. overall positive feelings.

I LOVE DAVID BOWIE a lot of this album is like if David Bowie was doing his Talking Heads impression. and since I love both David Bowie and the Talking Heads, it really works for me.

this is familiar to me but quite boring

I liked it. made me want to hear more from this artist

it's certainly soul. some very recognizable songs and covers. but it was boring. a classic but boring to listen to. I feel like it would be perfect for like dinner party ambiance

perfect timing!! I'm literally going to Chicago tomorrow! anyway this was okay. I mean, I get the gimmick that they can make their instruments sound like traffic and then name the album "transit authority." I don't think that's something that I'm just dying to hear again there were some solid hits early in the album, but those are well known. everything else was really on the line between prog (which I despise) and jazz (which I don't have strong feelings about). I'm not going to listen to the full album again, but I put a few of the popular songs on some like 60s and rock playlists

catchy. I liked every song

this is so entertaining to listen to, even if I have no clue on what's being said

I like the David Bowie mix better. it's more focused and palatable. I know some may consider that a negative but I can't listen to the other versions

I like the song Imagine. it's kind of inconceivable that it came from John Lennon alone when you look at the rest of the songs here. everything else is meh

I couldn't get into this. it was just okay

I like this but don't think I can listen to it like this again. I even like ambient music but there's not enough meat here for me to enjoy it on repeat

I fucking hate prog rock. don't waste my time with this being one of the top 1001 albums of all time. I don't think this is in the top 1 million albums of all time

I love country and honky-tonk music but overall this just doesn't hit for me. I like Streets of Bakersfield. that's a good one. otherwise it's a pass from me. not bad just not something I want to listen to again

I love David Bowie! I feel like this is my least favorite album of his. I'm reading in other reviews about the strong influences of Brian Eno on this one. it's like the lyrics and voice are definitely Bowie - although even in that not his best work. and the music is not Bowie. you could've put any artist on top of these tracks. it was so disjointed. but then there's one of my favorite songs of all time - Heroes. it was the only good track on the album to be honest

I was pleasantly surprised by this. Alice Cooper was always shock rock, but other than School's Out, there's a lot of non-shock-rock variety. Blues that's theatrical, lyrics that are thoughtfully constructed, and generally good music. Solid album "It tastes like roses on your breath But graveyards on your soul" goes so hard in Blue Turk.

I like Arcade Fire, and I like this album okay but the religious allusions in this album fall flat for me. not bad, but there's not a lot that I'll seek out specifically

this is fine. nothing standout and nothing egregious

my older brother was so into Prodigy when we were growing up. he would play their album in his car on the way to school and in his car on the way home from school and from his stereo when we were at home. it was the next album though "Fat of the Land" that I've heard a billion times. this one came out before, but the sound is very consistent between the two. that is to say familiar in a familial way but not something I seek out for myself generally. it's really danc-y though. I think I had forgotten that. also they wear more eyeliner than I do

it's okay. I found out they're all covers of 50s songs so that's why a lot of them are familiar, but there's nothing here that really wows me

I find this to be quite boring

I really like this! sometimes I want a soundtrack and this is an amazing one for so many things - a montage of shopping scenes, an intriguing introduction at a bar, a home invasion, walking through a casino. this is music to romanticize your life to!

it's okay. I wouldn't seek it out
