Never heard pulp before, I was expecting more of an Oasis/Blur sort of thing. This is more Bowie / Muse like. Video for title track was very cool.
Darker or more brooding that I expected. I enjoyed though I am not sure how much I can come back to this.
Loved it! Best played loud!
I have been a huge fan of the Pixies since the nineties. I love this album by them!!
Reminds me of my friend, coincidentally named Darryl. Certain songs I can't listen to without a smile on my face. Not a huge fan of old school hip-hop, but it does take me back.
This is another one from my past beautiful album. Still can't understand what Michael is saying in most songs, but I get it.
My first experience with Leonard Cohen. More of a poet and lyricist and less of a singer, like Lou Reed. I can see the appeal, but not something I would go back to a lot.
The King! First time with the album that started his legacy, and this is great listening. Totally reminds me of my father.
I was a bit nervous about this, considering I had never heard of it, and it did not sell at all in the US. However, it was surprisingly pleasant to listen to as an album, and I could see coming back to this. I think it did poorly because there is not really a hit song that is marketable on the radio.
Not sure where to start. This is my first listen to the Flamin' Groovies.... the music was spot on, loved the blues take on rock music. The vocals were almost comical though. Did not have the feel of something more polished. Overall a good listen and a good experience.
Wow, just wow. Fela Kudi is just fire! In the right mindset, this is an awesome listen!
LOL, reminds me of high school! A little too rough to come back to without a fist fight or house party.
Hmmm, did not like this. Folksie, trying to be quirky. Fell short for me, some songs were offensive.
Enjoyed it! Simply lovely, although impossible to download and very difficult to find on Spotify.
Hmmm, never really got into Bruce. There is a song or two that I like, but never really got the appeal. This album suffers from a lot of airplay back in the day, and a really dated 80's feel.
Wow, hardest thing I have listen to. One song I knew previously, but might be too hard for me overall.
Very cool, great to listen to.
Very fun, takes me back. I did not listen to this type of music back in 1989, but it is fun today.
First rap album, other than hip hop. TBH I was expecting more, a lot of hype around this. Though I am probably not the target audience.
So so. Rod is really not my thing, but I am was OK to listen.
Well, some songs had the traditional Beach Boys harmonies, but the songs themselves were pretty terrible. It is amazing how far they can go from Pet Sounds.
The Who is amazing live. Some great performances in here.
Radiohead is one of my favorite bands. Glad to see they are well respresented in the list.
This was awful. I could not get into this, even though Randy Newman is a fantastic songwriter.
This is S-Tier for me. I love Arcade Fire, and Suburbs is as good as it gets. 5-stars!!
Fun album. Amy is great at the right times.
Loved it. Great to expand my musical views.
Wonderful! Bowie at his finest, with Changes and my favorite, Life on Mars!
Simply lovely! This was a fun surprise and I loved the groove.
Very chill. I have heard Nick's voice before and did not know the name. Not bad to chill out to.
Huh, very 80s. Seems like a mix of a lot of 80s synth bands all in one.
I bought the vinyl for this record, and this turned me on to a whole new genre. Wonderful!
Absolutely incredible. Love this album, long time fan.
The was my intro to one of my favorite bands ever. I listened to this album about a hundred times, and it does not get old. Love it!!!
For the right person at the right time, this would be great. But this is just not my thing.
Love this album, great vibes listening to it. Shows the range of "Frank" different from his Pixies career.
I am familiar with Portishead, and listened to Third before, along with other trip-hop. I like it for the right mood, and this album was a model for the genre.
Very nice and chill. This is a great listen on an early morning.
What can you say? I have listened to this a hundred times, and I hear something new every time. Wonderful.
This album escaped me from Black Sabbath's catalog. I enjoyed it.
Big band and swing. The best of the early 50s.
U2's best album. Played this CD a lot. Love it.
Not really for me. Overly "British", don't really understand the hype.
Not really my thing. I know the songs from the radio, but way too polished for me.
Good record, seems very dated by today's standards. Typical electronic sounds from the 80s. Overall I enjoy it.
Simply lovely. My second Nick Drake album to rate and I like this one better. This would be a cool hang on vinyl.
Pretty chill. Not a huge fan of Jame's voice, but good album for the right time.
Absolutely incredible. I listened to this a hundred times and it is awesome every time. S-Tier!
Fun listen. Very talented guy, and great blues!
A bit too prog for me. It seems like good music, but random music-ettes constantly changing.
I have not heard of this album, or the band, but it is very familiar. The songs all sound like music I have enjoyed by other artists, and that is not a band thing. Somewhat garage rock, somewhat "dad rock". Not a bad thing!
I knew quite a few songs, and it still holds up besides being from early eighties.
I have more respect for Jim Morrison and The Doors than I did coming into this record. Overall the album is good, especially the songs not overplayed on Classic Rock radio. I am still not a fan though.
This is a fun listen. There are some unique tunes that remind me of Beck. I would love to hear their later releases to see if they have kept up their game. Overall this is a solid album.
Great to discover new music, but this one is not for me.
Wow, this is rough. In one way I can see how it inspired some of my favorite artists. On the other hand it is really hard to listen to.
Not really my thing. Mildly entertaining as background music.
I know this was huge back in 1984, but I could not stand any of this. Not only did it sound dated, but not my style of music,
Absolutely beautiful. It was a joy to listen to this record. I could come back to this.
Very nice 90's Indie. I enjoy later Coldplay records since they have more of a connection to me. But this is pleasant to listen to without sounding dated.
Reggae is not really my thing. May have been a good reggae album for those who like it.
Seemed like a mid 90's Beastie Boys wanna be. It is not awful, there is just better.
Wow, so this was a surprising gem. Very chill, and great quality. I would come back to this.
Damn, this would be fun in a pool hall with a few beers. Plus, Mannish Boy!!
I have never really been a KoL fan. Maybe it is the voice? Maybe their music sounds generic. My friends like them though.
It did not gel with me the way I wanted, but some parts were brilliant.
This is a pretty fun listen. I love the positivity and not giving up on the "funk"!
I know this record very well, and it is one I go back to. Absolutely perfect in my eyes, S-tier all the way.
I was a bit nervous when I saw country and western music, but nothing like that all. I had a lot of horns, more like jazz or swing.
Fun to listen to, once in a while
What can you say about this record? It has to be on most people's top 10 ever.
It is OK Brit Pop. I had Get Free as a workout song for years, the rest of the album is just OK.
I have never heard of this band, but it was quite pleasant. I enjoyed it!
It was pretty good. Seems perfect for a certain vibe.
Love this album, listened to it a 100 times, and I will a hundred more.
Its New Wave.... with horns!! Seems pretty high quality for New Wave, not sure why I have not heard of them before. Sounds like a lot of the music made during 1980, a certain sounds I can't get past.
Well, not bad. More like Otis Redding does covers. I have not done any research on this record so I am not sure if it should have made the list. I lot of the covers were versions by legends, which I would have preferred their versions.
I knew a lot of these songs from the radio, and from some live performances. I enjoyed this a lot and I can see why Yes is a Prog GOAT.
Wow. I am not sure I expected this, sort of like a lounge singer with a sense of humor. Glad I got the experience, but probably will not be revisiting.
I actually liked this more than I thought I would. It had a mid-90s rock vibe that was on every track, which was not a bad thing.
Not really into his music. I would not know good rap from bad.
I am a huge Neil Young fan, though I don't know this record very well. Excellent as expected, and one that I feel needs multiple listens to grasp.
This was tough to get through. Music was maybe a 3, but the voice and vocals are a zero. I am rating this a 2, and that is generous.
Love this album. Fond memories of AM Gold.
I went into this expecting to hate it, but it was good. Super chill.
Wow, this is tight!! I am sure many a baby has been conceived to this music. This would be amazing to see in a club.
This album was a complete miss for me... Not a real album but some compilation, not in English so I could not understand it, not the type of music I like. I am sure she was a wonderful musician, but not my thing.
Wonderful album by my favorite band. It might not the my favorite album, but definitely the one that put them on the map.
I have not listened to much Adam Ant, but I was intrigued. I was worried it would sound like a lot of other 80's post punk crap, with the same sound and vibe. But it stood out as being high quality, and I really enjoyed it.
Love this album, one of my favorite from the stones
This was cool to discover and listen to. He really was talented, and this record showcases his genius.
Love this album, one of my favorites from the Beatles, especially toward the end of their run.
This is really fun to listen to, and what a great discovery! Now I know where Fairytale of New York song comes from that I hear every Christmas!
This is just so-so for me. The music is a 2, but +1 because Alice Cooper is a treasure.
A pleasant ride. I was not the biggest fan of this when it came out, but listening to it was a pleasurable experience.
I hate this album so much, I cannot believe I listened to the whole thing. I hated Culture Club in 1983, and I hate them even more now.
What the actual hell am I listening too? This is soooooo not for me.
More like a 4.5 but rounding up to a 5. Absolutely love this album, and the sound. I listened to it a hundred times, and it made me a fan of their other albums too.
Wonderful record by the golden age of The Police. Message in a Bottle is incredible, and the whole record is solid.
Not the biggest Bowie fan but this one is solid
Perfect record for Christmas! Love the wall of sound!
I could see me getting into this. Very laid back, which is what I am into now. He was peak 90's, and I know we lost him too soon.
Not bad, a few good songs. Not sure if it is worthy of this list, but I enjoyed it.
I am a big Flaming Lips fan, and this is one of my all time faves. Great music.
A banger of a Brit pop album. I know the hits very well from a playlist. Listening to the whole thing through was interesting.
Not really my bag. She is extremely talented but just really not my thing.
Amazing record, my first intro into Black Sabbath. For anyone who claims they are a hard rock / heavy metal fan, this is required listening.
The Beastie Boys are so much fun. I am more familiar with Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head, so this was a real treat. Definitely one I will be coming back to!
This was surprisingly good. I enjoyed this record and everything that it had to offer. Great music, production, writing, vibe, etc.
This record slaps. Amazing musicians and amazing songs.
This record always makes me grin. It is so badass and perfect for those times when you want to Bring The Ruckus.
Hmmm, not sure how to put my thoughts into words. It is OK.... there are pieces that I enjoy and some that I really don't. Sounds dated.
Not really music but more poetry. Some of it was hard to listen to but there were some pearls in there if you were in the right moment.
Huge fan of QotSA. Not their best record but solid none the less.
Great discovery. I was getting strong Led Zep vibes from a couple songs.
Pretty solid as fun as gangsta rap goes. The first 3 tracks are solid, lots of energy and a fun listen.
Very talented, solid first album.
This record really stood the test of time. Absolute genius. They went commercial, and they avoided the synth 80s sound.
Well this was interesting. Sounds like an early Arctic Monkeys. Not bad!
I feel like I need to learn more Bowie, and this is a perfect example. Seems like a great record.
Wow, just wow. Early thrash/speed/death metal. I have not heard this before, I was more of a Judas Priest guy. I am not sure I would just put this on to listen to, but it is cool to hear the genesis of a whole genre.
Holy cow, this was absolutely blistering. I never understood DP in the past, knowing them only by their radio songs. This album is amazing.
Another great example of why I joined this list. This album was very familiar. I little bit David Gilmore, a little bit XTC. Very cool to discover.
Love me some Joni Mitchell. Very nice to listen to on a Sunday morning.
More of a fan of the attitude, and not so much the music. Rock-a-billy music does not sit with me.
Not their best, but their first!!
This is super dreamy. Reminds me of the music my dad listened to. It really takes me back!
Cool Jazz. Nice to listen to on a Saturday morning!
I have heard. half of these songs on the radio. I don't hate it, but I don't like it. Background music?
Not really my thing. The 2 songs they played on the radio I did not even know the names of. OK I guess.
This sounds like something I would have really enjoyed when it came out. Lots of good stuff on this record.
Not bad. The songs I knew from the radio have been so overplayed I can't enjoy them anymore. But the rest of the record was good.
Lovely to listen to. Original country music. The Beatles cover was a surprise.
Amazing record. Only 2 songs I recognize the from radio, but this is amazing to listen to.
