1001 Albums Summary

Great album. Strong start and strong finish. Love parts of the slower songs and the flutes. Parts of these songs really slow down and cause the songs to lose momentum. 8/10

Some of Kanye's best songs ever. A few too many skits and I can't stand Breathe In Breathe Out. 9/10

One of the best prog albums ever. I semi understand the hype, although it's not one of my favorite genres. 9/10

Amazing record, one of the greatest albums of all time. 9/10 because of Yellow Submarine

So mid, nothing offensive but also not very memorable 5/10

Stunning vocals from Amy, however, the songs don't really do it for me. 6/10

Not as good as everyone seems to think. I prefer the back half of this album over the more popular front half. Not bad but also isn't groundbreaking. I prefer Plastic Ono Band to this. 7/10

I guess this was maybe groundbreaking for a white person to sing these songs, but there's nothing special about it to me. 3/10

What is there to say about this album that hasn't already been said? It's a tough listen, not one I want to go back to, but there is something endearing about it. 7/10

A rock staple. Probably my favorite Jimi Hendrix record. I think the fat could be trimmed off this record and it would benefit from being a tight 13/14 songs, rather than the 17 on it. 9/10

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this record until now. You can hear how much this influenced later records. Really great album, cool instrumentation. 8/10

I don't see anything special about this album. The most bland, generic, 90's rock album. I don't like this one bit. 3/10

I get that they are influential and their instrumentals are pretty killer, but I don't love listening to them. Robert Plant's vocals don't do it for me. 6/10

Great indie rock album. Every song on this thing is good, not a bad thing happening here. 9/10

This album is weird and it is so good. I had to listen to it back to back it was so unique. 1 or 2 songs I'm not crazy about but overall a great experience. 8/10

I don't think Blues Rock is my favorite genre. It's not bad but I also don't see myself returning to this. Janis's voice is good and I see why other people like it, even if it's not for me. 5/10

One of the most iconic albums of all time. With how mainstream and recognizable some of the songs are, you forget that they are genuinely fantastic works of art - i.e. Come Together, Here Comes the Sun, Something. The medley on the second half of the album is amazing, Maxwell's Silver Hammer is the one stain on this album, if you can call it that. The most consistent Beatles album from start to finish. 10/10

Great album, many of the same critiques I have with other Hendrix records. Amazing songs but I think the runtime could be less to make the album hit harder. 8/10

I don’t love this album the way other people seem to. It’s not bad but I don’t think this genre is for me. I’d rather listen to Daft Punk, but there are some good songs. 5/10

There are some classic 90's songs on here, however, there are a lot of songs that I don't care about. She does some strange things with her voice and I wish I liked it more than I do. 4/10

Great mix of R&B and hip-hop. Ms. Lauryn Hill is one of a kind and this is a top album from the 90's. There isn't a bad song on this thing. 9/10

Solid 90's West Coast rap. Some of the references and word choices are a bit outdated, but that's to be expected. Good production and Ice Cube sounds good. 7/10

I've been a fan of Elvis Costello for a long time and this is one of the albums that got me into him. The first few songs are all standouts with Oliver's Army being the highlight (minus his slur). It loses some steam with the run between Goon Squad and Sunday's Best, but finishes very strongly with the final 4 songs. A special songwriter and has great melodies on this record. 8/10

Totally fine album with a handful of really good songs. It didn't do a whole lot for me. 6/10

Crazy that they can depart from their abrasive, noise-rock and still sound this good. The Murder Mystery is a really interesting song, albeit not one that I enjoy. Great album, 9/10

It's kind of boring reggae-inspired pop. Doesn't do much for me. 4/10

The singles on this album are all so strong. However, some of the deep cuts don't hit as hard. It's easy to see how this became so popular as there is something on it for everyone. 8/10

Super great album - production from DJ Premier kills as always, rapping from Jeru is strong. Just a classic 90's Boom Bap record. 8/10

It's a pretty listen and his voice is great, however, it's not fully my thing. I don't know what's holding me back from loving it. 6/10

A couple of great tracks, Maps and Y Control are the standouts. I don't love this style of garage rock, but I can see the influence for sure. 5/10

An album filled with many great songs and a lot of interludes. The album could be tighter and there are a few songs I'm not sold 100% on. I really like it but it's the weakest of OutKast's major 3 albums. 8/10

A classic country album, super cool concept. Not something that I come back to often, but good nonetheless. 7/10

Not really an album for me. I won't be going back to it. 4/10

Classic gangsta rap. Great production, great attitude, good rhymes. Album fades off at the end a bit but overall it's really good. 8/10

Fun, old school country. There's nothing special about this record but it has a certain charm to it. 5/10

Really good blues rock. The album starts off stronger than it ends. Far more accessible than other Captain Beefheart projects. 7/10

Pretty good singer songwriter album. Didn't really click with me though. 5/10

Not typically a huge fan of prog rock but this was pretty good. 7/10

Really good summertime/springtime jazz. I don't like judging music I'm not well versed in, but it's extremely easy listening while not feeling like elevator music. I like both Stan Getz's and Charlie Byrd's other music so this is also a hit. 8/10

An iconic punk record with some really good songs, although from start to end it's not the strongest. 6/10

Some real good folk rock/country rock. Makes me want to go to a log cabin and become a conservative.

Some decent country songs. Not my style but not that bad. Easy listening. 5/10

There are a handful of great folk/singer songwriter songs with some outdated, less great songs. 5/10

Some of the best Beach Boys songs with a lot of filler in between. 7/10

I want to like this album more than I do. I see the influence and there are good songs on here, but I don't see myself coming back to it often. 6/10

It's nice and easy to listen to, however, I doubt I will ever listen to it again. I liked some of the less country twinged songs and her cover of For No One. 5/10

Classic garage rock. Great riffs, big fan of this. 8/10

Pretty cool latin rock, not something I'd come back to often but it's good. 6/10

Amazing voice, great soul music. Not a bad song on here. 8/10

Some interesting songs and good vibes on the record. Too long and a little bit bloated. 6/10

Nothing about it was bad, but I found it boring and long. The pop rock sound isn't really for me. 4/10

I really like this album, however, my opinion on jazz holds very little weight. It's easy to listen to without ever bordering on background music

The beginning is pretty strong and then it fades a bit towards the end. 6/10

Some good new waveish music. Lead singer's voice is odd, not bad. It's all fine. 6/10

Some good vocal jazz, the album is bookended well with a strong brassy start and a softer ending. Loses me in the middle a bit. 6/10

There aren't any bad songs on here but outside of Shangri-La and Victoria, there aren't many that I'll go back to. 7/10

Never heard of this before but I wish I would have. Great psychedelic rock album. Will go back to this. 8/10

Definitely feels half-baked but there are some good ideas and songs on here. Won't listen to the whole thing through again. 5/10

This is such a good melancholic, singer-songwriter album. Bryter Layter is so great, although it's hard not to compare this to Pink Moon, which is an all time favorite. 8/10

Dancy and groovy but not all the songs hit and some tend to stay slightly too long. 6/10

Dark and moody and makes you feel something. However, it lacks some of the melodies some of the great gothic rock albums have. I fade in and out of caring, although there is far more good than bad. 6/10

Big fan of this album; dark, moving. What a way to go out. 8/10

Some of the songs are really good and some run together. Solid album but nothing insane. 6/10

There are some of the best alternative/indie hits from the 90's on this record. However, there are a couple songs that aren't up to scratch. 8/10

Non-offensive and there are some good tunes but nothing that's too interesting. Couple of stand out tracks. 6/10

I like this, not something I would come back to all the time but it's easy on the ol' ears. 7/10

I don't really like this, not my style of music and is far too long. 2/10

Chill and relaxing, nice mix of vocal jazz and singer songwriter. My only flaw with this is that it tends to be kind of 1 note. 7/10

One of the greatest singer-songwriter albums of all time. His magnum opus, not a miss here. 10/10

Easy to listen to and it can be kind of fun. This isn't my kind of music but has a time and place. 4/10

Some absolute bangers on here, but it's one of her more inconsistent albums. 7/10

I can't decide how I feel about this multiple times through. It's a strange blend of genres; I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it. 5/10

Great album, can see why it's one of the best Stones records. 8/10

Interesting post-punk album that works more than it doesn't. 7/10

Good album, more hits than misses. I like the jazz inspired tunes more than the blues or rock inspired songs. 7/10

Although it's not one of my favorite Elliott Smith albums, it still is a top record for anyone else. He's my favorite singer songwriter ever and this is a very strong showing. 8/10

They do a great job of creating a feeling of existential dread and self hatred. They'll do the same thing but better later on. 8/10

Everything about this is fine. There's one song on this that I like and wanted to save. 5/10

Visions of You is really good and there are interesting ideas and concepts but they don't really translate to songs I want to listen to. 4/10

Fairly strong start and some weaker songs towards the end. I'm not a huge on this pop-rock style of music. 5/10

Feels like it would be better as a movie or a video game soundtrack than as an album. 5/10

Neil Young doesn't really miss. It's not my favorite of his albums but the jam with Crazy Horse is great. 7/10

Good jazzy, funky, r&b album. 6/10

Such an amazing album, I only wish it was longer. Macbeth was the lone song on the album I didn't love. 8/10

I'm not well versed enough in metal to give this a definitive ranking, but I didn't dislike it. 7/10

Bang average album. As far as Britpop goes, it's one of my least favorite, albeit I haven't listened to many. I won't ever listen to this again. 4/10

New Wave music can be so hit or miss and for me this was a huge miss. 1 song that I would go back to and the rest of the album I was counting down when it would be over. 3/10

This country rock sound isn't my go to but it's done well. Proud Mary is one I'll go back to though. 6/10

This didn't work for me. I like the idea of taking a suite and adding their own flair, but I found many of the songs to be annoying. There were a few redeeming qualities though. 4/10

I want to move to rural England after listening to this. 8/10

I'm a PJ fan for sure but this isn't my favorite album of hers. Not bad by any means but doesn't have the same catchiness as other albums. 6/10

I really like most of the songs, though there are a few misses and it can drag a little long. The concept is great and the message hits hard. 8/10

Basic country, pop, singer songwriter fusion. Will never come back to it, boring. 3/10

First and last song are incredible, some good songs with a few meh sprinkled in. Overall a very good blues rock album. 8/10

A bit medieval, a bit psychedelic. Great voice and great songs. 8/10

She proves she is way more than just Respect. Great album and great vocals. 7/10

This doesn't do it for me but it's not offensive either. 5/10

There are some fun songs on here, don't know if it's nostalgia from my mom listening or if they are genuinely good. The rest of the album is typical teen pop, but not the worst I've heard. 4/10

It's just not my scene at all. There were some interesting moments but I found myself just tuning it out. 4/10

Feels really large but hollow at the same time. I don't get the hype behind this album. 5/10

Not my favorite Foo Fighters album but there is good energy and is a solid post-grunge record. 6/10

This power pop/pop rock style isn't my favorite genre but they do it well enough to keep me entertained. 6/10

Pretty fun and funky, although I wasn't crazy about it. 6/10

Awesome album, the only song I didn't love was Running Dry, but even then it wasn't bad. Neil Young doesn't miss. 8/10

I like the repetitive nature of this album. I like the sharp guitar sounds and bass. Lydon's vocals work better with this type of music than I expected. 8/10

This album deserves all the hype it gets. Doesn't have a miss. 9/10

The fusion of indie, electronic, and Indian music is really cool. There are some great tracks on here but for some reason the middle is forgettable. 6/10

The fact that this piece of music was improvised makes it even more spectacular. I don't feel qualified to judge but it was very nice piano music. 7/10

There are some fun songs on here but not enough to go back to this album. 4/10

This album is just fine. Nothing really sticks out about this, but I do like the latin influence and guitar. Album cover is offensively bad. 5/10

I like this Amy Winehouse album a lot more than Frank. No bad songs on this and it's banger after banger. 8/10

There are parts that sound a bit dated (duh it was made in the 80s) but some gems on here too. 7/10

Nice set of covers. I like his voice on these and the vibes are good. 7/10

A good mix of noise and grunge/alt rock. One of the easier to digest SY albums. 8/10

One of the best jazz fusion albums I've ever heard. This might not be my go to genre but it still is a killer album. 8/10

Every time I listen to this album it gets better; the bookends, however, are the best part. There are a couple of songs in the middle that are decent to me. Obviously it's crazy influential and important, but it's not my favorite Dylan album. 8/10

A mid album in my opinion, don't know how this made the list. 4/10

One of my favorite Bob Dylan albums and one of the best folk records of all time. Girl form the North Country is one of my favorite songs ever. 9/10

It's a bit disjointed with multiple vocalists/songwriters. I think it's better as a collection of singles than as an album. That being said, there are some all timers on here. 7/10

Crazy album that I didn't hate but don't really want to listen to again. 5/10

It's a fun album with some good songs, but don't know why the only Indian album I've seen on here is a movie soundtrack. Surely there are better options. 5/10

The Way You Make Me Feel is my favorite MJ song, but aside from that and a few of the classics, there isn't too much here. 6/10

I like the eerie, stream of consciousness post-punk. Each song begins to blur though and after a while I lose track of what I'm listening to. 7/10

I like the heavy use of organ but it's not something I would revisit. 6/10

Big band jazz is not my favorite style of jazz, but this is well done. It's not my favorite but it's solid. 6/10

Fine garage rock, doesn't grip me. 5/10

I like to read and work to this. It's calm without bordering on sleepy or elevatory. 8/10

There are some cool songs on here but there are also some songs I hate. 4/10

Not really my scene but it was better than expected. 6/10

Pretty solid indie folk, however, I expected a bit more with how much I have heard about it. Maybe it will grow on me. 7/10

I thought this album was kind of blase but I really did like the song Queen of Denmark. 5/10

The album starts strong but I don't care too much about the second half. I like Funeral much more than this. 5/10

Great album, some of the best 90's alt rock. A couple of songs towards the end don't hit the same though (Corpus Christi Carol and Eternal Life). Love it though. 8/10

One of the best ambient/IDM albums I've ever heard. Throw this on when you're working or studying or just relaxing. Wish I would've known about this in college. 8/10

I like this. As I don't know the language and am not well versed in this style of music, some of it tends to run together. But that's a me problem. 6/10

This is the first time listening to this record and it kind of clicked for me. I love the organ on this. 8/10

It's fine, it didn't speak to me though and I won't go back. Another okay British rock album on this list. 5/10

Not a huge fan of Sting's voice, but some of the music was pretty cool. 6/10

It's not Radiohead's best album but it's really dang good. There isn't a "hit" per se but I like the mix of typical rock elements and electronic. 8/10

An interesting series of songs but I have a hard time really vibing with Nick Cave. 6/10

This album was way too long and it gave me nothing in return. 3/10

Having only heard my dad make fun of La Grange, I thought I was going to hate this album. It was a pleasant surprise how much I enjoyed it. 7/10

Fun, good vibes. 6/10

Some truly beautiful stuff on here, however, there is a lot of down time. 7/10

Kind of forgettable, some good songs on here though. Doesn't measure up to other Paul Simon albums. 5/10

Dad rock with a hint of Black Sabbath on some of the songs. Not for me but impressive guitar work. 5/10

I liked this more than I expected. Too long though, 6/10.

Cool to see the beginning of the grunge era. Not as catchy as some of the other albums in this genre, not that it needs to be. 7/10

I like this - nice mix of catchy and punky rock. 8/10

It's a bit bloated and I wish there were a handful of songs trimmed. However, this was the first record I ever owned and holds a special place in my heart. Some of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs are on here (Storms, Sara, Never Forget). 8/10

Sounds like a mix of metal and rock. Good but I don't know how often I will come back to it. 7/10

There are a couple of good songs and a bit of experimentation in the middle, however, the heartland rock cliches are on display throughout the album. 5/10

Some of Simon and Garfunkel's best ever songs, but also a decent amount of filler. For Emily and Scarborough Fair are the highlights. 7/10

Great from start to end. One of the best twee albums. 8/10

Some of the best indie rock songs of the early 2000's with a couple of songs I'm not crazy about. 8/10

One of the best new-wave albums. Talking Heads go on to put out much better records though. 8/10

There are some misses on here in my opinion, however, there are some amazing Englishy, folky songs. 7/10

Such a feel good album. I like Carole. 8/10

It's fine. Nothing grips me on this album except Come On Eileen, which will get me going everytime. 5/10

Some of the best songs from the 80's, but also a little dated. 7/10

Starting off the album with a couple of hard r's is a choice. 5/10

I liked the mix of singer-songwriter and electronic elements but that faded away by the end. 7/10

Possibly the best folk rock album ever made. My favorite of Bob Dylan and has a bunch of my favorite songs of his. 10/10

This is fine. It's sweet and I like their voices. 6/10

I like the messaging and the sound of this, I just wish it were longer. 8/10

Some good new wave stuff on here but a lot of it is fairly forgettable. 5/10

I love the elements of hip hop, electronic, and psychedelia. There are a couple of songs that drag a bit. 8/10

It wasn't necessarily bad but I didn't connect with it. There wasn't anything on this that I would save and come back to. 4/10

I have a hard time rating this as I am not super well-versed in jazz music. That being said this is incredible to my ear and I really enjoy Mingus's stuff. 9/10

It has some good songs and forecasts what is going to be in my opinion his best album in Blackstar. It's a bit bloated and not every song is amazing. 6/10

One of my favorite Joni Mitchell albums and the vibe of the record is immaculate. Amelia is one of my favorite songs. 9/10

I like the concept and messaging of this album. I like some of the songs. It's more interesting than it is great. 6/10

Not one of my favorite by The Kinks. Couple of good songs but nothing I would return to. 6/10

One of the top jazz albums ever for a reason. It's awesome. 9/10

Great album. Icy instrumentation and very cool vocals. 8/10

There are some cool songs on here and I like the experimentation on a few of them. They'll do better things but this is the start of something. 7/10

Super interesting, can hear how this was highly influential. 8/10

The songs everyone knows are great but there's a decent amount of filler. 6/10

First 2 songs are really good and I saved them (already knew Beautiful Day because who doesn't). The rest of the album is fine but doesn't move me. 6/10

One of the greatest rap albums of all time. Flow and lyrics are great, beats are amazing. 10/10

It has all the elements of something I would like but instead I just felt meh about it. 5/10

One of the best new wave albums. Talking Heads really come into their own on this one. 9/10

Great noise rock, can see how influential this is. Not something I would come back to full album that often. 8/10

One of the best study/work albums. 8/10

There are some cool musical moments and I like the experimentation of the last song. However, the album is a bit too theatric. 6/10

The back half of this album, minus All Through the Night, is genuinely horrible. I don't care, Time After Time is a banger. 3/10

It's good country rock that I probably won't visit again. 7/10

A masterpiece of sampling. Probably my favorite plunderphonics album of all time. 9/10

There are only a couple of noteworthy songs on here outside the Mr. Brightside and Somebody Told Me. Jenny and Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll are good, but the bassline seems like a rip off of The Smiths. 5/10

It's fine. Not something I'm going to come back to. 5/10

Not a huge fan of ska. 4/10

I can see why people like this and how it made the list. I like Hello in There the most, but I don't see it being something I come back to. I respect it more than I like it. 6/10

This album is more of a mood than songs I would listen to on their own. A Forest is a classic and I think Play for Today and Seventeen Seconds are both very strong on their own though. 7/10

I know nothing about latin music, even less about this style so I am going to refrain from giving much thought. NR/10

Some of the songs seem a little bit half-baked. There are some really good tracks though and I like the funk of it all. 6/10

My favorite Springsteen album. I think the storytelling and world building are great. This is the first time I've romanticized Nebraska. 8/10

Anyone can see how influential this album is, however, it's not one that I want to go back to and listen all the time. 7/10

Injury Reserve thinks it's good enough to sample so it's good enough for me. It's out there without being difficult to listen to, it's catchy. 8/10

The standard for jazz music. It may not be as experimental as some of his later stuff, but it's the album I probably visit the most. 10/10

Nah this is not for me. I feel like this belongs at Cracker Barrel or as a background song to an old western movie. An entire album was brutal to sit through. 3/10

One or two filler songs on an otherwise great album. Every time I listen to this album I like it more than the last. Strong 8/10

I love the scattered nature and length of this album. Obviously the fat could've and probably should've been trimmed, but that's part of the enjoyment. On the first disk I would've cut out Wild Honey Pie and Don't Pass Me By, and on the second disk there's Birthday and Revolution 9. This thing is so dang good but I can't rate it higher than this with some of the misses. Low 9/10

I was expecting a bit more from this having heard its praises sung so often. There are some amazing songs - Rocks Off, Tumbling Dice, Happy, Shine a Light - but for one of these there are 2 or 3 blues rock songs that are just okay. Maybe it'll grow on me but for now it's a 6/10.

The only song I saved was Everybody's Talkin, which I knew from Harry Nilsson. The rest of it was fine, won't listen to it again. 5/10

No idea how this guy got his own impersonator. Boring album but not as dull as some of his others. 4/10

The vibes are so good on this album. I'm not doing it justice listening on a cold day in December. This is a summertime masterpiece. 8/10

It's fine background music, but nothing more. 5/10

This album is consistently really good with a handful of songs that are really great. I love the vibes on this album, it feels dark but uplifting at the same time. Strong 8/10

This album bores me. The sound hasn't aged well and there isn't a whole lot going for it. I like that they experimented with the structures of the songs though. 4/10

I'm a big fan of Elvis Costello's earlier albums and I think that this is one of his better albums towards the back half of his career. There are some misses here and it's not boundary pushing. That being said, there are about 7 or 8 songs that I really like. Light 7/10

I like the groove of this but I feel like it would work better as a soundtrack (which is what it is) than a stand alone album. 6/10

I like how all over the place this album is - there's a bunch of different genres and sounds going on. Most of the time it works but there are some misses and lulls in it. There's better to come from Gorillaz. 7/10

I am not a huge Peter Gabriel fan, but I liked In Your Eyes and Don't Give Up (because of Kate Bush). The album sounds a bit dated but overall it's not bad or offensive. 5/10

I wish Janie would give me her gun so that I didn't have to listen to this whole record. 2/10

It's a fun record and there aren't any bad songs in my opinion, but it's not his best or most creative. Light 8/10

A fairly fun, middle of the road Christmas record. Don't really want to rate a holiday album out of 10.

One of the best alt rock/singer songwriter albums of the 90's. Jeff Buckley's voice is unreal. There are a few songs that I don't feel too strongly about (Eternal Life and Lilac Wine), but they aren't bad. Strong 8/10

Fun 60's album, nothing crazy or innovative, but it's a good time. Light 7/10

I don't love his vocals and I thought the album was a bit boring. 4/10

Classic garage rock. Great riffs, big fan of this. 8/10

I liked it more than the other Peter Gabriel albums that were on this list, but it may have been carried by Solsbury Hill. Other than that, I probably won't come back to this. Strong 6/10

Boring dad rock. 4/10

One of my favorite albums of all time. This is the trip hop album and nothing compares to it. Great beats and vocals, perfect. 10/10

It's not offensive but it's boring. I'm starting to think these listmakers don't know ball. 4/10

I like the different renditions of some of his best ever songs. There are a few songs on here I don't love, mainly on the second disk. 8/10

This isn't my favorite kind of music but CCR probably does it better than anyone else, in my opinion. Strong 7/10

It's a good jazz record, nothing more, nothing less. It's nice to have a record on here that isn't from the USA, Western Europe, or Australia though. 6/10

There are some great songs on here but some fall a bit flat or overstay their welcome. It's much better than what Coldplay is putting out now. Strong 6/10

I had high hopes for the album after hearing the first song, but it rarely lived up to that. Too many interludes or songs that meander and don't go anywhere. 5/10

I really like this album. It's a great mix of alt rock and noise, while still being accessible and catchy. It unfortunately ends on the worst song of the album in Poledo, leaving me with a meh taste in my mouth. 8/10

This sounds like the most basic early 60's album. His voice is good and the music is inoffensive but it isn't memorable. 5/10

One of the best rock/punk albums of all time imo. The guitar on every song is sick and is definitely an essential album. 9/10

I like the traditional, English folk style songs on here. I'm just not a huge Led Zeppelin fan as I can't get behind Robert Plant's voice. Strong 6/10

Fun to see the origins of garage rock but it's not something I would go back to often. I like their originals more than the covers. 5/10

I like the themes and messaging behind this album. I don't listen to a lot of hardcore but I found this enjoyable. It was too short though. Light 8/10

I respect this album more than I like listening to it. You can hear how influential this is, but I am not saving any songs off of it. 5/10

Enjoyable but metal isn't my favorite genre of music. The riffs are good and it's held up well over time. 8/10

It's easy listening and there are some great songs here, but it's not anything that blew me away. 7/10

I have a hard time rating an album of covers highly. However, she does a lot of these songs justice and there are a handful of really great tracks on here. Personal favorites are Wishin' and Hopin', 24 Hours from Tulsa, and When the Love Light. 6/10

Not a fan of this. Maybe I don't understand this style of country music but it all sounds the exact same. 3/10

I Want You is one of his best songs and there are some other good songs on here (Tokyo Storm Warning, Crimes of Paris), but overall it's one of his weaker albums. 6/10

I had never listened to reggae or Bob Marley outside the hits and was pleasantly surprised. It's good vibes music. Strong 7/10

Bland and boring; most songs are indistinguishable. This sounds like music that would be played at a $30 mid burger joint where fries are sold separately and there are bar stools and the signature sauce is thousand island dressing. 4/10

I really like Neil Young and I think the guitar work on here is great. It could be a bit shorter though. Strong 7/10

Great punk/noise album. The addition of the sax in the last few songs keeps things fresh. One of the best in this era. 9/10

It's not my favorite Jimi Hendrix album, but it's still one of the strongest in the genre. 8/10

Sarah Vaughan's voice sounds great live, but the songs don't blow me away. It's nice. 7/10

This is just a fine album. It pales in comparison to what Paul Simon had done with Simon and Garfunkel and what he will do in the future, specifically with Graceland. 5/10

I like the message and theme of this album, but really only would go back to a couple songs (Greetings to the New Brunette and The Warmest Room). I can see how this is an important album, but it's not one I would throw on from front to back. Light 6/10

I love Beautiful Day and then it's all down hill from there. The songs want to be deep but wind up sounding cheesy and hollow. Shout out Peace on Earth. 4/10

Fun 60's album with a couple of tracks that stand out from the rest (Have You Seen Her Face and My Back Pages). The rest of the songs are good but pale in comparison. 7/10

I listened to this multiple times and have tried to really connect with this, but I just feel like I'm missing something. I really like Time and Us and Them, but outside of that it's just fine. 7/10

One of the greatest albums of all time. Blends noise, rock, and a softer pop side expertly. I wish Nico was an actual member of the band as she adds something so unique and charming to a harsh album. 10/10

There isn't a bad song on here but it's less emotionally charged than some of their other work. Good vibes and good grooves. 8/10

This sounds dated and I find the songs to be kind of annoying at times. He has a good voice but this album is not one I'll be returning to. 3/10

There are the classics on this album that are good, as well as a couple of good ones I didn't know (Closer and Crawl). It's not amazing though and not something I would go back to. Strong 5/10

A really great album with a weird inclusion of Changes. I don't like their version of it, but the rest of the album is strong. 8/10

Decent mix of metal and rock. Good but I don't know how often I will come back to it. Some of the slower stuff didn't land for me. 7/10

I really like this album. It feels classy and simple without ever teetering on boring. The bass playing in this really stood out to me, shout out him. Strong 8/10

There are other 60's bands that are more interesting and unique. It's not bad but it isn't that great either. 5/10

I like the funk and the vibe of this album. I think they sound a bit like Stevie Wonder (basic, I know) towards the front half of this album. They really set themselves apart in the back half and the didgeridoo song is unique. 7/10

I love this album and the South African music in it. All the artists featured fit in perfectly. 9/10

Adele is a great vocalist, however, being a great vocalist does not mean you make good music. This sounds like it's made to be played in retail stores. It lacks emotion and I can't find anything redeeming about this album. 2/10

I didn't really like this all too much. The instrumentals are fine but the soft rock sound is too safe. 5/10

I like the energy and noise on this album. It's raw and energetic, but I wish there were some melodies that stuck a bit more. Light 7/10

I would listen to this again if I found myself in the right mood. I think it's pretty unique and I enjoy the darker, electronic atmosphere. Strong 7/10

Not a huge fan of this kind of jam band music. It's not offensive but it's not something I would want to listen to again. 4/10

I love the concept of this album and the story is extremely interesting. That being said, there's only a couple of songs I would want to relisten to outside the context of the album (ABITW PT2, Comfortably Numb). It's also extremely long and there are too many lulls. 7/10

I really like a few of the songs on here (Gotta Get Up, Without You) , most of the others are good, and then there's Coconut. I don't know how this song is on the album, it's so annoying and the fake accent is jarring to say the least. Light 7/10

I like that we have non-American/British albums making the list. I wish that it was a different album on the list though. This doesn't justify the run time and I think this style of music isn't for me. 4/10

Good vibes but also kinda cheesy and dated. Wouldn't listen again but it's also not that offensive. 5/10

This is less consistent than future ATCQ albums, but there are glimpses of what's to come. There are a few slightly grating beats (Rhythm and Mr. Muhammad), but for the most part, it's a really solid album. Can I Kick It? is the stand out. 7/10

I like the dark synthpop, but there's a few choices on here that make me scratch my head. I don't understand the use of moaning on I Want You Now. I don't have anything against Pimpf or Agent Orange, and really like the latter, but I wish they wouldn't have put them back to back. Strong 7/10

The album starts with a bang and then doesn't really do a whole lot the rest of the way. It's fine, 5/10

I like this album a lot more than Frank. No bad songs on this and it's banger after banger. 8/10

There are a handful of good songs on here but more misses. This clearly shows how vital the rest of the band was The Smiths. The instrumentals weren’t super interesting and the lyrics were hit and miss. 4/10

Really great, highlights for me are Changes, Life on Mars?, Queen Bitch, The Bewlay Brothers. There are very few low points. Strong 8/10

One of the best albums to study or work alongside. A masterpiece in the art of sampling. Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt is one of my favorite songs of all time. 8/10

It's great; I think that the front half is slightly stronger than the back half, although it does end on a high with the final three songs. 9/10

There are a couple of pretty good songs on here and it's cool that she samples Mobb Deep. That being said, some of the songs run together and it's a pretty tame record. 5/10

It's too long and is bloated. It's nothing offensively bad but there isn't a song on here that I would visit again. 4/10

It's good but I think the wildness of Fun House is more appealing. I could do with a bit more noise. 8/10

It's fun, his voice is great as always. 7/10

The greatest dream pop album that I've ever heard. There isn't a dull moment on here. 10/10

I was expecting so much more from this when I saw who was in this supergroup. Such a snoozer of an album. 3/10

I don't like this; it's not my style of music and is far too long. 2/10

There's nothing bad on this album but there are too many songs. Listening to this I also realize how many people are trying to rip his sound off and it sounds so much worse when they do it. 8/10

My favorite part is how I can understand all the lyrics without them pulled up in front of me. 7/10

I respect this album more than I like it. I can appreciate what it did for Industrial music and tape loops and all that, however, I don't want to listen to it again. Weeping was a highlight for me though. 4/10

There are a handful of good folk/singer songwriter songs with some outdated, less great songs. 5/10

There are some really good songs on here and not many that I don't like. I don't really love though. 7/10

I really like this album. It paved the way for future electronic albums and still holds up nearly 50 years later. 8/10

There are some undeniable classics and great songs on here, but there are also some terrible bars and skits. If you get rid of a few songs and the moaning interlude, it would be a much better album. 7/10

There are a few songs that are a bit too country for me, but I think the songwriting is strong and the more alt-country or americana parts are really good. 7/10

There's a decent amount of fluff on this but when it hits, it really hits. I still think it's one of the better Alt R&B albums of the 2010's. Light 8/10

One of Springsteen's best albums, it's just banger after banger. My only real complaint is that it's only 8 songs long. Strong 8/10

A severely underrated Radiohead album. I like the return to rock instrumentation while also keeping a few of the electronic elements. There, There is one of their bests. 8/10

It's a nice listen and Ray Charles is extremely talented. I wouldn't go back and listen to it very often though. 6/10

I can see why they made him a monkey. No one would want to listen to human Robbie Williams for that long. This album stinks. 3/10

This is a pretty good solo album for Morrissey, but I think it's pretty clear he's at his best with Johnny Marr on guitar and The Smiths' killer rhythm section. The instrumentals aren't boring per se, but the instrumentals of The Smiths perfectly complement Morrissey's whining. 7/10

A nice sounding album but I don't feel it's something more than easy listening, background music. 6/10

There are a couple of fun, decent songs on here, but I wouldn't choose to put them on. The album ends pretty weakly and trails off. 4/10

This was a grower album for me - there are the highlights of Maps and Y Control, but I also really liked Modern Romance. Pretty solid album. 7/10

Absolutely stunning album, every time I listen to this it grows on me. A 70 minute run time doesn't feel too long at all. 9/10

It's fun, it's groovy. I'd listen to it a couple times a year. I like it when they were leaning into the funk sound. 7/10

It's really great and is a sign of things to come for them. If I didn't know the rest of their discography I would probably like it even more. 8/10

There's a few minutes of Moonchild that halts the flow of the album, but other than that it's a masterpiece. It's probably my favorite prog album and the musicianship is unreal. 9/10

A solid debut that starts off really strong and tails off at the end. I can hear the Nirvana influence in these songs. Strong 6/10

Feels like a poor man's Echo & The Bunnymen. Not something I would relisten to but I did like A Trick of the Light and Blinder by the Hour. 5/10

An under appreciated album in his discography, I only knew Young Americans and Fame (and Across the Universe via The Beatles). This is a super solid album, but at 8 songs, I would want a little more. 8/10

Like a Rolling Stone deserves all the praise it gets, however, there are a bunch of really strong tracks here. Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues is underrated and Desolation Row could go for another 11 minutes and I wouldn't complain. Although it's not my favorite Bob Dylan album, it's a classic. 8/10

Super funky and it's a good vibe. It does get a bit repetitive at parts. 7/10

They're talented but this album doesn't move me. I prefer Supertramp when they're less prog rock, i.e., Breakfast in America. 6/10

I like Mark E Smith's vocal style and the songs are interesting. This album is more punk than some of their later work that I like more. Nevertheless it is a good debut. 7/10

A mid album in my opinion, don't know how this made the list. 4/10

There's something here that I am just missing. I like it but I'm not connecting with it the way that I thought I would. Dark Britpop should be something I'm really into, in theory. 6/10

The orchestration is beautiful throughout, the songs are catchy, and the songwriting is amazing. The real knock of this album is the track titles. How am I supposed to look someone in the eyes and tell them I've really been into this song called "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhhh!"? 10/10

I love this album and wish I could speak more about jazz than I can, but I do know that it slaps.

It feels like pretty middle of the road garage/noise rock from the early 2000's. It's a bit of a copy of the White Stripes, but just worse. It's not unlistenable by any means, but it is a bit one note. 5/10

It's nice to listen to but there are only a few memorable songs, those being Someone Somewhere, Promised You a Miracle, and New Gold Dream. The rest aren't bad but it's just fine. 6/10

This kind of music from this era is not exactly something I would want to come back to. It's very repetitive in theme and in style. 4/10

One of my favorite 90's rock albums. Nearly every song on here is amazing. 9/10

There's enough variation in sound to keep it interesting without it actually being all that great of a record. The grunge and ska influences keep it from being stale but I won't be returning to many songs on here. 6/10

So psychedelic and fun, kind of crazy to me that this isn't a staple of the genre. This deserves many more listens than it has. Strong 8/10

Super groovy and danceable, everything on here sounds like it should soundtrack a late 90's/early 2000's montage. I wish each track was trimmed by about 1-2 minutes in length. Strong 7/10

There's a few decent songs. Not my style but not offensively bad. 4/10

One of my favorite Bob Dylan albums. It's extremely consistent and there's a good mix of acoustic and electric tracks. Highlights for me are She Belongs to Me, Love Minus Zero, Mr. Tambourine Man, and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue. Strong 8/10

I love this album. The end of the album doesn't quite hold up to the brilliance of the first half but nothing on here is bad. I love the VU so it makes sense that I would also enjoy his solo work. 8/10

It's fine, metal isn't my thing and this doesn't move the needle one way or the other. 6/10

This thing is so damn smooth. D'Angelo's vocals are fantastic, instrumentals are great, just wish there was a bit more variation. 8/10

I like this album but I like them with more variation, rather than just punk. It's still a super solid debut and important to the genre. 7/10

I like garage rock but only in moderation. There are some amazing songs on here but by the end I'm kind of over it as it starts to sound samesy. Light 7/10

There's a few songs on here that sound kind of huge and emotional. The others just kind of sound like dad rock in the worst way. I'm not really a fan of their deep cuts and don't really see the appeal. 5/10

I wanted to like this but nothing here really stuck with me. There is more interesting Psychedelia from the 60's. 4/10

Funky and weird, but in an endearing way. Obviously the rhythm section of Talking Heads would make a danceable record. 8/10

I really enjoyed this, the energy is great and there are some surprisingly good melodies for a hardcore punk album. 8/10

I like the songs here that have lyrics, but too many of the instrumental tracks tend towards background music. It's all pleasant enough though. 6/10

There are some strong songs on here but the entirety of the album doesn't really interest me. It's way better than what Coldplay are putting out now. Light 6/10

Pretty cool album with the Latin influences. It's not something I'd come back to often but it's good. 6/10

I don't really rock with this. I think the second half of the album had some interesting ideas/sounds but it's not anything I'll come back to. 4/10

I typically don't love old school country and this does nothing to change my mind. The only positive I can take from this is that it's only 28 minutes long. 2/10

Really great album. It's soulful, funky, the instrumentals are great, and Stevie's smooth voice, dang. 8/10

This is my favorite Elvis Costello album and potentially my favorite New Wave album. I enjoy the anger and bitterness in the songwriting while still having so much pop appeal. The version I'm listening to has Big Tears and Radio, Radio which add to the already strong album. 10/10

I listened a second time to see if my ears deceived me. Nope, this album was just as bad the second time through. Special shoutout to the run of Vibrate-Harvester of Hearts for being extra annoying. 1/10

I don't know, this just didn't really do it for me. 4/10

There's nothing that I can say that hasn't already been said about this album. The medley on the back half is incredible, George Harrison is at his peak, there's not a miss on here. 10/10

I feel pretty indifferent about this album. It's fine. Light 6/10

I really wished I liked Fiona Apple the way that everyone else does. It seems like there is something that just isn't clicking for me. Nothing is bad but it also isn't something that I'll go back to. It sounds like the musical equivalent of a cool girl wearing a fedora. 5/10

Not really a prog fan but found this pleasant and I like the flute in the songs. 6/10

I've listened to this so many times today and I'm still not sure how I feel. I like it but I'm not sure how much. Broken English has a good funk to it., Why'd Ya Do It is strong, and the cover of Working Class Hero is good. I think that this is a unique album on this list and I appreciate something a little different. 7/10

This is what happens when Captain Beefheart uses his powers for good and not evil. 8/10

It's kind of the same thing over and over again, but there's a certain charm to these songs and I think they have a time and place. 6/10

I really like hearing the contrasting styles on the 2 albums. Like The White Album by The Beatles, some of the charm comes from how absurdly long the album is and how there's room for each member to experiment and try things. 8/10

The singing is beautiful and the vibes are high. 6/10

It's pretty solid but it's not anything that really impressed me. There were a few songs that I saved. 6/10

Didn't like this as much as John Barleycorn. 5/10

I don't really like the guy's vocals on this album and the songs border on boring. 4/10

Really great album and great messaging. There are a few beats on here that sound a little too squawky. 8/10

Not horrible but I don't find it very compelling either. Sounds like a bunch of other albums from the 60's. 4/10

The start of the album is really strong but the last 3 kind of tail off for me. You can hear their sound really changing on this album and going in a more afro-beat direction which they'll do even better on future albums. 8/10

This is a snooze fest. There are some nice harmonies and vocal moments which keeps it from being a complete disaster. 3/10

It's pretty much the perfect pop album. It's catchy and accessible while also having some experimental moments and strange songs/production choices. 10/10

This album makes me want to move to a small town, get a drinking problem, and white knuckle my trauma. 8/10

I don't like this album at all. The "classics" of this album are annoying and the deeper cuts are no better. I don't like Axl Rose's voice and there isn't really anything interesting about this. 3/10

It straddles the line between okay and good. There's nothing bad about this record but nothing that's too memorable either. 6/10

I know that this is supposed to be shocking and he doesn't (I'm hoping) feel this way about women, gay people, and Christopher Reeves. That being said, it still is hard to listen to many of these songs. His flow is creative, his wordplay is unmatched, but I would never come back to 80% of these songs. The beats are fine, but could be more interesting in my opinion. 5/10

I like this D.M.C. album more than their debut. They lay the groundwork for a lot of hip-hop, but I don't think a lot of their stuff has aged super well. The collab with Aerosmith is really bad (I hate Aerosmith). 6/10

Super groovy but some of the songs are long and can border on repetitive. 7/10

There were some interesting parts but not something that I'll likely revisit. 5/10

Not nearly as interesting as her next album but I can't really complain about hearing Amy Winehouse sing. 6/10

I don't hate it but there's other Big beat stuff that I would rather listen to and it's not a genre that I often come back to. Strong 5/10

I'm not a huge blues guy, 5/10
