It's fine. I've heard these songs too many times, at too many weddings, at too many grocery stores.

Sounds great. I had no idea that Roxy Music was actually proto-punk, like the missing link from the Velvet Underground to The Stooges, or Television, or The Sex Pistols. You can even hear some vocals that must have influence Jello Biafra in there too.

pffrrrrttt... Not my thing. Neon Bible was a fun listen as I was getting into indie music, but this was like Coldplay for hipsters. Boring overall and seemed bloated by self-importance.

Not really my thing. I always want to like The Police and Sting more than I actually do. The hits are definitely the standouts, but Murder by the Numbers is brutal to sit through.

Perfect album, not a skip on the entire thing. Maybe it just hit me at the perfect time in my youth.

I only wish I found this album sooner. It's amazing how good this album is, and how influential, but never received the recognition on commercial radio. Perfect blend of angry, melodic, chunky guitar riffs. Mould does a great job hiding all these little bits of melody through the distortion.

Great classic rock. Should be in the same conversation as the New York Dolls for their influence on punk. That said, doesn't really hit me. Had I heard it when I was younger, it might be a different story.

Meh, not really my thing. At first, it just sounded like The Pretenders... until it didn't.

I always enjoyed Sabbath, but I think it finally clicked. It was always relegated in the classic rock camp for me, but as I do more of these exercises, I'm seeing more and more evidence of how they did it best before anyone else could use that influence. I'd probably ding it for that bongo track, but it makes more sense to just round it up to 5.

Pretty good, and fun to have on in the background. It was great having seen the movie in theaters a couple years ago.

I enjoyed listening to this, as I hadn't heard much from this era of The Beach Boys. It wasn't for me, but it was worth the experience.

Probably the only jam band (or jam album, I dunno...) that I'll ever really enjoy. This is another one that hit me toward the end of undergrad and it was the right time and the right place for stuff like this. Peaches in Regalia is an all time favorite.

This was a nostalgic listen, but it took years for me to realize how influential Deep Purple really is. I'll always remember listening to Highway Star in the car with my dad. Waaay ahead of its time and woefully underappreciated.

Certainly better than more modern pop country, but if I’m being honest, there’s no way I would willingly put this on.

I think this record helped me understand Suede better. I know they're big and I listened to their self titled, but it didn't do much for me. This one was easier for me to link it with the other britpop bands. Not bad, but I doubt I'll choose to put it on.

Very theatrical. It was a fun listen and I could see putting this on, but it's still not really my thing. Wish I could rate it 3.5.

It's fine. I've heard these songs too many times, at too many weddings, at too many grocery stores.

I like the hits, but overall -- this is too slow for my tastes. Pretty chill though.

Happy that I listened to this, and she's great at her craft, but this is indicative of a time of rap that isn't my favorite. Good for what it is, but a little too old for me.

I should like this more than I do. It never musters more than a “pretty good” or @just ok@.

I'm very glad that I listened to this, but I will never choose to put this on. I caught a lot of stuff that had a lot of potential for samples. It was great to hear a different perspective blending all sorts of musical culture. It's difficult to articulate.

I liked the hits on this one and it was generally more uptempo than Music from the Big Pink. Still, not for me.

Pretty good -- sounded like the transition from funk to things that are a bit more dance oriented. The hits are absolute classics.

Absolutely awful. No interest in hearing this again.

Very interesting coincidence that this came directly after The Associates album. I also don't really like this, but it's light years ahead of what I listened to before, so it gets a little bump. Plus, Relax is a pretty good song.

Much more theatrical. I liked their first release better, it had a little bit more edge and grittiness to it. At least if I'm remembering it correctly. Not for me.
