I guess I had never really listened to The Velvet Underground. It wasn’t what I expected. Maybe that was just this album. I need to listen to other albums. I didn’t really care for it.

Wow, I’ve always been a radio guy or just listened to random streaming playlists and stations. I’m just now starting to listen to entire albums and it was a great experience and I can see why Abbey Road is considered one of the greatest!

“Dad, what did the 80’s sound like?” Here ya go. Listen to these 8 songs. It’s crazy to put out 8 songs and 4 of them are still be played and recognized 40 years later. I don’t think I would immediately think of Tears for Fears as an iconic band, yet they have lasted generations. That’s crazy to me. What a feat to put out an album where half of your songs have long term staying power

Not necessarily my thing. But I always thought of Jefferson Airplane as classic rock (which they are) but I didn’t realize how hippie they actually were, which is a good thing. I prefer the female vocals. They are a different band with her singing. I need to look her up. I don’t know her name. Their name alone is worth a star before you even listen to the music. Surrealistic Pillow. Amazing title.

I’m not familiar with this artist and so I didn’t know what to expect. But I really love this album. When I used to do video editing, I would listen to instrumental hip-hop a lot because it works so well as a background soundtrack. I can really appreciate the musicality of an artist like this.

One of the greatest R&B voices of all time. Taken way too soon!

Great album. I love these influential albums that I’m not familiar with but have inspired so many other great artists.

I mean, it’s Purple Rain. One of the greatest albums of the 80’s and probably of all time. Prince puts everything into this album.

Great classic album

Better than I expected. I think of them as a one hit wonder, but this album was really enjoyable for my road trip.

Hendrix, man. A great classic rock album. You know someone is a legend when they perform a cover song and everyone forgets it was a cover and not their own original song.

I don’t listen to this type of music a lot, so maybe that is why I felt underwhelmed. Some good beats and riffs, but just didn’t do it for me. However, I would like to see this band pay live because I bet it would be a great night!

I don’t think I had ever heard one song on the album. And I’ve listened to country at times. This was not the album for me, but if you like grassroots, twangy country it’s probably 5 stars for you. So I give it a 3 and found the middle ground.

It was 45 minutes of Chef from South Park singing his heart out to teach me about life and love. The entire time I listened, I just pictured a montage with Chef being superimposed over Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny teaching them things they had no business learning. Oh my god, they killed Kenny!

A fun album I enjoyed. However, after this one was over I went and listen to Funeral. This is a solid outing, but not their best work.

Very cool album!

Musically, a very cool album. Lyrically, wtf

Great to listen to while exercising or cleaning the house

I enjoyed this so much better than I thought I would. Great vocals, beautiful melodies, and wonderful acoustic guitar. I can see why Joni is iconic.

Not his best album, but great, nonetheless. A classic.

I’m listening to a Blur album that does not contain Song 2? I see this is their earlier stuff. I didn’t hate it, but I’m probably never gonna listen to this album again.

This was definitely an album that I’m glad that I discovered from this list! Her voice is incredible and I only ever heard a couple of her songs. But this truly was an enjoyable album!

Some catchy tracks. Solid, but wasn’t really for me.

I enjoy The Beach Boys but this doesn’t seem like one of their best albums. Still, the classic beachy sound still comes through!

I really love this album. I’ve heard of Frank Ocean, but wasn’t familiar until recently. I like this album better than Blonde, which is also great. But Channel Orange was refreshing and fun.

Great album!

This is why I am enjoying this 1001 album journey. I had never even heard of this band, but I instantly enjoyed their music. Fun classic 60’s vibe.

In the conversation for one of the greatest rap albums of all time. And for sure, one of the best rap albums from the early years of the genre. Influential and iconic. It’s fun to hear Run-DMC play with beats and lyrics and sampling tracks. Ground breaking at the time. Some of the godfathers.

The perfect album.

Green Day is a great band. Not always my favorite band, but I understand and appreciate them as artists. It’s funny that they made a musical out of this album, because even if they hadn’t, I’d still be getting rock opera vibes. Solid album. Maybe a little too much Broadway drama, but it was fun and enjoyable.

I don’t listen to a lot of foreign language albums. This one really was beautiful. I started out in my car, and I wasn’t quite feeling it. But I put it back on when I was doing some house chores, and it was magical playing in the background. Such a lovely album

I guess I had never really listened to The Velvet Underground. It wasn’t what I expected. Maybe that was just this album. I need to listen to other albums. I didn’t really care for it.

Interesting album
