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

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

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 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

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.

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 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.

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 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
