O

The title says it all.

Any band that brings back the blues element is okay with me.

I could only give this three stars because half of the songs were only two stars but half of the album consisted of four star songs. They should have cut this album in half. To stand out for me was Half Light 1 and 2

This album is fire. Every track on here rocks. Especially Killing In the Name Of. I'm 71 years old and I would listen to these guys for the same reason I listen to led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath or Deep Purple. Killer guitar work. The guitar is the best thing about these guys.

Every song on here is amazing. Standouts are Golden Years and Station to Station

Ugh. I hope I never have to listen to this again.

What would Led Zeppelin or AC/DC sound like if you took the blues element completely out of their music? They would probably sound a lot like this. Just because you sing loud does not mean you are singing with passion. Every song sounds the same.

Punk rock meets New Wave. The guitar playing especially is a standout.

Too many songs sound the same. That electronic drum beat gets old after a while.

This album perfectly showcases the two sides of Neil Young. On the acoustic side, the title track and Pocahontas stand out. The electric side is the heart of the album. The standouts are the electric version of the title track, Powderfinger and Welfare Mothers. I can hear where grunge came from because the guitars throughout the electric side are muddy and dirty, just how I like them.

One of the greatest debut albums ever. Every track on here is absolutely fire. I give it a 6 out of five.

Public enemy number one to anybody with good music taste. This isn't music. At best, it's street poetry put to a beat.

In my opinion, there are only a handful of really talented punk rock bands and these guys are not one of them. They sound like a Saturday Night Live parody of the Sex Pistols, which are one of the great ones. Give me The Clash or the Ramones or the Patty Smith Group any day. The only good thing about this band that I could hear is the fact that they can play their instruments. But the singer sounds like Johnny Rotten on a bad day.

I wasn't going to listen to this album because I have always avoided kiss but I wanted to see if listening would change my mind. It did not. If anything, I will put this on the 1001 albums you should avoid at all costs. These guys make the most boring, generic rock and roll that I have ever heard. Just goes to show that because you rap s*** up in it pretty package still stinks.

I was all prepared to give this only one star because every song was kind of boring. And then I got to the last four tracks. All four of them were fire and I am obligated to add two more stars.

Nick Cave in somebody I was introduced to this music through the Peaky Blinders TV show. I didn't think I could acquire any new bands that I liked but the minute I heard them I knew they were fantastic. This is the second time I've listened to this album and every song on it is a banger. Abattoir blues is my favorite

Bo Diddley meets psychedelia. The whole album is a banger.

What can I say? This is a funk masterpiece from beginning to end. Not as optimistic as his previous work but essential nonetheless. Standouts are family Affair, Thank You For Talking To Me Africa and Runnin' Away.

I have always liked Beck and this album does not change my mind. It's not his best but it's definitely worth four stars.

These ladies are a lot of fun. Songs are five stars and some songs are four stars but every song is a banger

Never heard these guys before but they're pretty good. Mixing punk with new wave and it works.

A soulful debut from Tracy Chapman. She combines r&b with folk music and every song on here is a banger

I was all prepared to not like these guys but by third song they had totally won me over. I don't know if any other album sounds like this what if they do, they have my vote. Pop music for smart people, and you can dance too!!!

This is not music, it's cRap.

I was prepared not to like this but I was pleasantly surprised. This is an album you must listen to with headphones.

Not as good as there earlier stuff but still an excellent album. Four stars

Stones at their best. Raw and real. Every song is a banger.

I never did like Bebop jazz. The kind of jazz I like has a beat to it and you can dance to it. I always thought this kind of jazz was akin to musical masturbation. I know it influenced a lot of people and it's a classic. But I can't give it more than three stars.

A five-star debut from Mr Prine. Several standouts, including Angel From Montgomery, Hello In There and Sam Stone. He paints a picture with every song. Not a bad song on this album.

The first song, Running Up the Hill, is a five-star song. Kate Bush is very talented and a very good singer but just not my cup of tea. The rest of the songs I only gave a three.

Even though I like Nirvana and I had heard a couple Soundgarden songs that I like before, one of them being Black Hole Sun, I really wasn't into grunge. That may have to change because after listening to this album I need to hear more. Five stars from start to finish. These guys know how to rock. Chris Cornell is an excellent singer. R.I.P.

Sorry, cRap is not my thing.

One of Bob Dylan's greatest albums. A perfect five out of five from start to finish. Favorite songs are Tangled Up In Blue, Jack of Hearts, and Idiot Wind.

Not my thing. One word you describe it. Boring.

I just don't get it. I found these songs extremely boring.

I love Frank Zappa who produced this album but this guy is unlistenable.

Pretentious Brit pop

Rock without the passion, hooks or melody.

Sorry, but this is not fit my definition of music.

cRap

I had heard of these guys but I have never listened to them until now. It was a pleasant surprise. Excellent production, all the songs are original and none of them sound alike. A perfect combination of electronica, alternative and just good old rock and roll.

The kinks are right up there with the who as far as I'm concerned. One of the Great British bands of all time. This album is proof. Every song on here is well crafted and well written. Four and a half Stars but I will give it five because four is too low.

Easily the best Beatles solo album out of all of them. George finally got the airplay that he deserved. It's a shame The Beatles had to break up in order for that to happen. Not a bad song on here. The only fly is the last two sides but I still give it five stars.

Her voice is very unique and very soulful. Down to Zero and Love and Affection are my favorites. Definitely at least four stars

Come and worship at the altar of Soul with the Reverend Al Green. Memphis Soul at its best. Mr Green is definitely in the top five soul singers of all time. This album is five star from start to finish. Me embodiment of music with feeling.

Funk at its best. Nile Rogers is one of the best bass players around. Every song jumps off the speakers and makes you grab your dancing shoes.

My favorite Beatle at his rawest. You can almost trip over the emotion. I just listened to this album in 2025 and it's still hits home just like it did when it came out.

Why this group was not more popular in the states than they were is a mystery to me. The rhythm section in this band is amazing. Futuristic with its roots in rock and roll. Every song is a banger. R.I.P. Mark Bolan

I had heard of these guys but I had never listened to anything they recorded. I'm a 60s and 70s guy so I don't know much about the 90s. All I know is this album was a banger. I didn't look forward to listening to an album this long but every song was engaging. A lot of straight-out rockers on this album, even though they do a few other genres. I still like the sixties and seventies better but I've been finding out that they were still making good music in the 90s.

Curtis Mayfield is one of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time and this album proves it. Soul and funk at its best. Music with a message.

I give this album 10 stars out of five. CCR is the epitome of American rock and roll. Every song on this album is a certified banger. And John Fogerty sounds just as good live as he does in the studio.

Willie Nelson, other than George Jones, has the most expressive voice in all of country music and one of the most expressive in any genre. With what would seem like little effort at all, movies voice oozes soul. All of these classic songs get the Willie Nelson treatment and they become better for it.

A lot of people are not going to get this and I understand that. They didn't appreciate Picasso until after he died. Great artists are often like that. Hands down, Brian Wilson is in the top three songwriters of the last two centuries. This is the album there's would have gave Sergeant Pepper a run for the money. He has perfected everything he ever wanted the Beach Boys to be into this one album. Granted, The Beach Boys are not on this album but he originally crafted the music for them. In the top 10 albums of the last 100 years.

I actually expected to like this more than I did. I guess memory is fonder the older it is. Upon re-listening, I find that she has a good voice, although it does get on your nerves after a few songs. I'll give it three stars but I can't do any more than that. It really is like being in a Starbucks.

I guess you would call this trip hop? Slightly better than it's dirty cousin, hip Hop. It might make some good background music if I was tripping but if I was going to seriously do some more psychedelics and I would probably just put on electric ladyland. This was not like my playlist. Not offensive but not exciting either.

One of my favorite English groups from the 70s. My younger brother got me into this album. Had never heard of Supertramp before. At least five of the eight songs of bangers which way to the four star. But this album is essential. Even me songs that weren't dangerous and pretty good songs. My favorites are Bloody Well Right and Dreamer

As far as music goes, rap sucks. Yes, he might be a good lyricist but this should be in the beat poetry category, not the music category.

Okay, my problem is not with the excellent musicianship or Freddy's multi-octave voice. My problem is the same problem I've had with Queen off and on. Many of their songs are forgettable and overblown. I can't believe this album was included on this website but not A Day At The Races, which to me is a much better album. In my opinion Queen didn't really become of age until A Night At The Opera. After having listened to it I cannot remember a single song.
