Magnificent from beginning to end. Easily one of the greatest albums ever.

Boring. Couldn’t make it the whole way through.

Not a fan of sixties music generally and nothing here to change my mind. Sounds like songs kids would sing at school. Nothing offensive, nothing particularly interesting.

There’s a lot of Jarret concert albums and a lot of them sound fairly similar, so you probably don’t need that many. This is one of the best. Doesn’t outstay its welcome, like the longer ones. A classic for a reason.

A classic debut album. Doesn’t reach the heights of subsequent albums, but contains some all time bangers.

Incredible. One of the greatest opening tracks ever and doesn’t drop off the whole way through.

Half bangers, half filler.

Nursing home music

The aliens can keep this one.

Muzak

‘Nice’, I suppose, but not in anyway interesting.

Obviously, It’s the End of the World as We Know It is annoying as, but overall, it’s a solid 80s indie album.

Sometimes the pioneers are exceeded by their followers so much they don’t seem to be anything special. This is one of those cases. Horrible 80s synth bass.

90s muzak

Better stuff has been made by its legion of inspired followers, but still a classic.

One of the better 90s sample albums

Probably the best Portishead album. Underrated.

This is the kind of music I would pay to avoid.

OK but gets a bit twee.

Couple of OK songs but most tracks get boring fast even though they are short.

The 90s attempts to replace rock albums with dance music albums don’t really hold up, but this is one of the better ones.

Maybe the only Flaming Lips album that doesn’t sink into self-indulgence.

Never cared about Elvis.

Jazz has its place, which is soundtracks. I would never listen to this.

Surprisingly decent sound for a thrash record from this era, but the lyrics and vocals make it unbearable.

One of the best thrash albums with some classic tracks.

After Sympathy for the Devil and Streetfighting Man, the rest is pretty disposable.

Most of the Britpop era was bands putting out one or two decent singles and otherwise being entirely missable. This is a good example.

Couple of good songs.

Radiohead are a great band sometimes. Thom Yorke is an unbearably whiny singer who can’t carry a tune. Gets worse after this. Basically unlistenable.

A timeless classic.

Outstays its welcome

Twee, sacharine tosh

Not their absolute best, but a classic.

Says nothing to me.

A unique classic. Still sounds fresh after 50 years.

Peaked on his first release. Another of the great sampling albums.

Okay.

No bad Piazzolla

I just don’t like this sound.

Some earworm anthems for sure, but terrible lyrics and horrible 80s drums.

Boring

Boring

Stevie Wonder is definitely in the top 10 most overrated artists. Boring, dated sounding.

Another good sounding band with an unbearable singer.

Now my heart is full, Spring heeled Jim, and Billy Budd is about as good an opening trio of songs as you can get. One of the two classic Morrissey albums.

Grunge is the most overrated genre ever.

Never as good as their PR.

No

Sounds nice without being in any way interesting.

Candidate for most overrated album ever. Unbearable.

Music for people who hate music.

Sounds dated and the followers have done it better, but still a classic.

I just don’t understand why anyone would listen to this.

Classic jazz album, sort of thing they play in a restaurant.

Probably the worst Smiths album, so still better than almost anything else from the 80s.

Good, but not outstanding.

It’s got Living for the City, which is the only good Stevie Wonder song, so it’s his best album.

There was a thing around this period where middle aged rockers started feeling obsolete and going on about electronic music. Then they made albums which showed they didn’t really know anything about electronic music. This is like most Radiohead stuff, it’s Ok to quite good until Thom’s tuneless whining comes in.

One of the best of the 00s. Great lyrics, great music, original, much better singing than the Milk-eyed Mender.

The poster child for bands championed by the British music press on the basis of politics and class prejudices. Unbearable Brit Pop cringe.

Synthpop classic.

No reason anyone should listen to this.

Mystifyingly overrated.

The definition of catchy but dull

Horrible sound

Somewhat mystifyingly her most popular album but not her best. Rather let down by Thom Yorke’s tuneless whining.

Before they really got good.

Classic electronic album

Boring

Pompous, overblown, portentously meaningless lyrics. Another decent band with a completely unbearable singer.

Running boogie music through MIDI quantization is how to sterilize it. Ludicrously dated.

Magnificent from beginning to end. Easily one of the greatest albums ever.

Nowhere near his best

Who can listen to Kanye anymore?

Whole thing doesn’t hold up to the singles but still a classic.

Doesn’t stand out from the early 2000s alt-country mass.

Some weird stuff starting to come through in the lyrics, but the music is still saccharine crooner shlock. Later albums much better.

Muzak

Never getting past that accent

Grunge boredom.

All time classic

Take out Frankly Mr Shankly and Vicar in a Tutu and it’s basically flawless.

Turgid and overblown

Fairly decent for country.

Not the best side of the 80s

Historical significance doesn’t make it worth listening to.

Overrated due to his death, but still a solid album.

Don’t be ridiculous

Classic

Another mystifyingly overrated artist.

More jazz tedium
