The Joshua Tree
U2Fine? Never been a U2 fan. Some songs I saved to playlists. “No Exit” was the highlight. Cher’s cover of “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” eclipsed the original for me.

Almost every electronic dance dj is influenced by Daft Punk, but very few can curate or craft an album even an ounce as good as their worst one. (Which to be clear is not this. Idk what is right now, but you know. Hyperbole)
Not for me. Blending funk and alt rock is fun, but I’ve heard a lot of much better versions.
Okay this is my first time listening to any Radiohead album in full and I get it. After resisting all these years (for whatever reason), I have to admit this slaps.
One of the quintessential albums for a reason. Endlessly listenable and timely. An album that changed the course of music history.
Sounds like the kind of music I’d pretend to like to try and get a boyfriend in college.
More like 3.25. A lot of good here. Didn’t quite connect fully with me. The title track and Tunic were my faves.
Happy for the noise music community. Not for me. I don’t want to get on a pedestal and say it’s bad, but it’s certainly lacking something I like when I listen to music - and I listen to some unconventional stuff. I listened to this album all the way through though!
I am an Elton fan and I’m perplexed by this album’s inclusion. For an artist to have multiple entries, they should all be exceptional works and this one doesn’t have the qualities of a Goodbye Yellow Brick Road for me. It’s not a bad album, just not a transcendent one. Tiny Dancer and Levon are incredible songs that anybody would make lifelong careers if those were the only hit songs they had.
I appreciate Sonic Youth more than I enjoy Sonic Youth. My second SY album on the list. (Which is wild because this is only my tenth album.) I much preferred Goo.
No real gripes, but also doesn’t feel incredible. Of course I knew the song “The One I Love”, but I don’t think it ever hit me quite like during this album listen. That is an all timer song.
I always found The Doors to be overrated, but listenable. This isn’t tear my ears off bad, but wow it is so reductive. This is the twelfth album I’ve listened through this project and I’ve only heard one album by a black artist and at least three white bands blatantly using black music (in a far less effective way than their predecessors)
There’s one thing to make a fine album, but why is it on a list of albums I have to listen to? I quite disagree with that sentiment.
I agree with folks on the production of this album. It does hold back some of the songs. However, there’s a lot of great pop R&B tunes here so I won’t complain. Closer to a 3.25
Better than I would have thought 🤷♀️
One of my favorite genre of live album where it’s someone who sounds incredible in studio and then we hear them live with rawer vocals and less clean instrumental and it’s suddenly transcendent. Very very few pop acts these days could ever hope to make a live album like this these days.
Great rapping skills and production. The misogyny and skits make it so juvenile. Some songs were saved. But this is mostly not for me
I was born the year this album came out and I didn’t listen to it in full until I was 16. It was transformative for me then and I still love it today. I’ve seen Alanis live twice and she’s an incredible live act.
Incredible you can have a five star album that might not even be in your top three.
I’m an adult. I don’t have time for people who don’t like Sade.
Funny this was back to back with Sade’s Diamond Life. Two different takes on smooth jazz. But I like this! Maybe more of a 3.5 but I’ll round up
* Off the Wall * Bad * Thriller
