Liked it, I get some of the U2 hype now. Especially interesting coming off of Say Nothing, have some context for it. Doesn't hit my personal vibe as much as my sad boy bands but enjoyed the listen. Probably won't revisit much.
What a jam! So danceable. Love the horns. I just kept on listening to Otis.
Do I just love crooners? Very easy listen. Big double album but stayed fun.
The structure is interesting. 9 songs, but all 5 minutes or so. This isn't my genre but I get why people like it.
The be thankful for what you got cover is very fun though maybe says something that it's my fave so far with a guest singer and covering a different genre.
It's hypnotic, genre defining, but not my thing.
Any other day is hilarious. I ended up listening twice. Great album, not super for me.
Dad loved this album. What a debut. More bluesy than I expected. Your Time is Gonna Come is my highlight so far.
9 songs, everywhere from 2:27 - 8:28 in length.
oh wow, an album I already know so well. I mean. Absolute banger. TWO 10 minute songs. Neil you dog. Down by the river rocks.
idk super tramp just doesn't do it for me. I appreciate them but don't find myself going back.
I don't know this bowie album too well. It's not hitting the highs of hunky dory for me. Don't even really like the let's spend the night together cover.
what up b-52's! Saw you in concert at the Minnesota Zoo and it rocked. Our neighbor did torture us by blasting a best of album while they were out of town for 2 days but there's a lot to love. It's a mood, it's a vibe.
Yikes. I know I'm in trouble when the album has a track with so few listens it's not even listed. Construction noises? Boy is this not for me.
I'm not sure I'm making it through. It is soooo long and nothing has been good. An assault on my ears.
An hour and 16 minutes!!! Never listened to this end to end. The skits are fun, the whole production is so cool. It's hard to like Kanye these days.
Kicking off with Blister in the Sun! Wow!
Can appreciate but an hour of jazz piano is not my thing
It's nice easy listening but idk this kind of folk vibe is always a little boring to me.
One of my all time favorite albums. I'll take an excuse to listen to it and on repeat.
An all timer for sure. Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things, Life on Mars?, Kooks, Queen Bitch. It's banger after banger.
Very much a jam album. Easy listening, pleasant.
Once again, all instrumental jazz is just not my thing.
Lots of steely dan this week. Still not my thing.
Fun but I won't be going back to it
Don't get Elvis Costello at all. I feel dread that there are SIX albums in this list that I will force myself to listen to exactly one time. Maybe I'll finally get it at some point but certainly not this album.
8 songs, love it. Curation! Immediate jams.
A+ branding, great pinball machine. Not for me but I can appreciate why it's cool.
Nice easy listening but still all jazz. Man, these music critics love a jazz album.
I remember this coming out my senior year of college and it still hits. XO, Flawless, Partition!!!! Incredible album, a little long. There are a few that I could live without. It's not quite a perfect album for me but the highs are HIGH
They wrote changes! Whoa! Fun album, great vibes
Def a fun jam. Never love seeing an album is over an hour but this was very vibey.
Obviously a banger, some of the best artwork. Definitely feel like I heard every single one of these songs ad nauseam growing up.
A very pleasant jam album. Spotify rolled me into radio at the end of this album and it took me a bit to notice.
Boring, still Neil Young, but boring
Some big hits, sometimes boring.
Maybe just not the biggest blues person? It's fun but I won't be going back to it.
I feel like it's just non stop 70s rock. Love the doors, lots of fun stuff on here. Maybe just a function of the list that I'm getting a little fatigued on this genre.
idk I guess there is a lot of back and forth on Led Zepplin and them. Some of it is fun but it's very long and a lot of it gets boring to me.
idk a little meh to me, feels a bit generic for 80's punk and the cover hasn't aged well.
Finally had to admit to myself I'm just not going to get through it.
Hard to not be overplayed and cheesy 50 years later but damn it is still sexy and it is still fun.
I just can't get into folk. I don't know what it is. The funk parts I like.
uggggh 65 minutes! WHY! I don't really see the significance of this album? Feels like a weird addition on this list.
Ah, is this the original rap rock? I liked the funky bass parts and some of it was very boppable. But it did get repetitive and I won't come back to it.
Very fun to be exposed to this music. Id never found it on my own. Hypnotic at times but ultimately not for me.
Can see myself loving this in high school but not so much now.
Had never heard of this band before but was not impressed. This is some sort of super group? It was a little boring and long to get through.
Definitely longer than it needs to be but man there are some absolute jams in here!
I did not expect to have so much fun with a Tito Puente album but here I am, absolutely jamming. Listened to it twice then listened to a mambo mix for hours.
Ethereal and vibey. Overall I found this pleasant but I don't think I'd go back to it.
I just don't think I'm going to like this hard of rock/metal. It's fun a song or two and then it all starts to blend and feel like the same song for 45 minutes straight.
A nice listen but didn't feel particularly unique. Was surprised to see this was from the 90's and not the 80's.
Much slower than I expected. My mom has beef with this album because they used the band from USC the "university of spoiled children" as she likes to call it. It's hard to follow up Rumors. This album feels like a pallet cleanser for them.
LFG!!!!!!! A beautiful album about coming into adulthood, having a baby, missing your younger and freer self. I loved it in 2015 and I love it now. "Music for moms" but if you're a mom you really get it.
Great dad rock, some classic on here.
Wow, a lot of instrumental. Found it a little boring and monotonous.
I thought this was a little boring on first listen but I did go back and end up listening to the album all the way through a second time and really enjoyed it. Some obvious bangers on here and I loved the variety of moods.
20 songs is too many. Some I enjoyed but ultimately not my thing
B-52’s plus the runaways I feel like I should like this more than I do. Don’t envision myself returning.
Something nice to have in the background. I'm not a big reggae person but I get the appeal
What funny listening numbers. Some massive hits on this album and then some I've never heard of. Obvious love the hits and love the flow and feel of the album overall.
I had so much fun with this! Maybe I like salsa? The reason I love this site, discovering genres I didn't know I liked.
Don't imagine myself going back to this. Another review described this as the Sweeney Todd soundtrack and Warren Zevon have a baby and I can't improve upon that description.
Had fun with this one! I think there are better examples of the genre but it was a nice play.
Another kraftwerk! Another banger. Wow I just love this band and had never heard of them before this list. I love they kept the album structure, 6 songs all long. Let's me really sink into the vibes of each song.
Not for me. Gospel but R&B a bit. I like the funny gossip about him comparing himself to the Beatles, great PR strategy.
oh wow, really enjoyed this! Did not expect to with the deluge of late 60's male rockers but the voice is really interesting and I like the experimental production. A 10 minute song about beauty and meloncholy at the beach? Hell yeah.
No album should be more than about 40 minutes. This album is no exception and would have been a better one with 25 minutes cut. I liked some of it, better it was too long and the lack of curation really hampered my enjoyment.
I had a really hard time getting through this. Just not a Bob Dylan fan.
Wow, I liked this way more than I expected! What a fun structure, huge jam and the short guys for when you don’t want to hear 20 minutes of non stop prog rock.
I had a ton of fun with this one! My in laws were over and we all recognized multiple songs.
A little boring. Produced some songs that were absolute bangers of covers but meh.
Awesome album. The US version has paint it black which is even better!
No expectations for this one. Don't even know what genre this is. Kinda feels like a Bowie impersonator. Bored by the album. It's WAY too long to be this monotonous.
Romantic, meloncholy, moving. Lovely album but one I'm probably picking and choosing song to when I'm in a sad sad mood.
Some fun diddies but overall it didn't absorb me.
Very fun, the first pop Diva. I believe it Dusty!
I'm just not a Steely Dan person. I don't hate if a song comes on every now and again but don't see myself coming back to listen
Lots of Stevie Wonder this week. Strange coming to a normal album off the beast of Songs in the Key of Life. Beautiful album, so many bangers, so much important content and experience.
Not my thing, won't go back
Kind of just electronic sounds to me. Never got into the vibe
A little all over the place. Felt disjointed and too long.
Not for me. Always makes me a little angry when I listen deeply?
It's fun, it's poppy, but doesn't land in my pantheon of great albums. Maybe in a decade or two when the over exposure has waned.
idk just couldn't get into it? Felt like perfectly fine background music but nothing super unique?
A pretty good punk album but not my favorite by any means.
Not for me. I don’t get the live version. I guess I see how the event is fun but why record there? Both pretentious and stupid in here.
Lot of zep clustered close together for me. Def too long, they've hit the super big lack of curation phase here. It's a hit or miss for me.
I’ll take any excuse to listen to pet sounds.
Love me some talking heads
Opens with such a banger! lots to love about love but doesn't transcend for me.
I love these crooner albums and am never sad to hear one on!
Love REM. Something just rocks.
Had a surprising amount of fun with this one. I don't think French rap is for me but I bopped and enjoyed the listen.
Had a delightful time listening and coding to this
Random live track? Don't like the structure with 44 tracks and a bunch of them really short. By track 35 I'm exhausted and ready for it to be over. Way too long, could use some curation here. Some fun jams on here that I like but probably a by track revisit and not an album listen through.
Just not a beastie boys gal. Some gems in there but not something I ever seek out.
I like Aerosmith but they definitely have better albums. Nothing really jumping out at me on here.
Some bangers but overall way too long. Curation!
I know this list loves him but I just can't get into it. Sometimes sounds like music I'd like to hear in the background at a Ren Fair. Way too long.
Arrival for sure, what an entrance to global super stardom! Incredibly fun the whole way through.
A little boring? Not sure why this album over the much more popular and impactful one
A host of classics! When the time is right it’s perfection
I don't know that every radio head album has to be on this list. This was a bit of a drag to get through. Very vibey and I guess I just wasn't feeling the vibe.
Pretty slow and boring. Feels like music for when I'm really really sad.
Had more fun with this than I expected. Definitely gave me energy to start my Monday. Won't go back but great listen through.
Feels like something I want to hear at a specific time and place.
Some great stuff, some very middling. Pale Blue Eyes is a beautiful love song and always chokes me up. But then murder mystery is 9 minutes of boring and annoying.
Definitely too long. I like country and some curation would have gone a long way here. Some good tracks I'd go back to but not a whole album listen through.
So furious and so fun. Hard to hate something so nihilistic about not wanting to live in the future that’s 14 minutes.
Some fun stuff and some not so fun. The tone was really all over the place
Wow! I'm a few years late to the party here but very fun album. Some big bops, some weird experimental that don't overstay their welcome. I love the witch fighting an increasingly demonic hunter.
Kind of a boring Bruce Springsteen coded album. In no way shape or form did this need to be a double album.
I love Bowie. This album is fun but feels like another case of them wanting to include every album a prominent artist ever made.
Kind of meh. Some fun bops but overall don't see myself revisiting.
Very vibey and feels ahead of it's time for 1992. Not sure I'll go back but enjoyed this listen.
Sometimes ventured too far into clown music? I love the beach boys, pet sounds absolutely rocks, but this felt like a pale imitation of it in a lot of ways.
Some massive bangers on here. Love this album. My only ding is 1 hour and 16 minutes is just too long. Too much music. A little curation always goes a long way.
Had a lot more fun with this then a lot of the other jazz albums on this list. Bouncing, fun, interesting!
Not really a double album, just two albums smashed together. I really like the love below and this rating would be much higher if it was stand alone. Hey Ya! has to be one of the best, most interesting songs ever written. Some sections of this TWO HOURS AND FIFTEEN MINUTES were definitely a slog.
Not for me. Some jams on there but hard to tell if I just like them for nostalgia reasons. Too much misogyny.
Very not for me but I appreciate the format for non fans. Short songs, short album. Huge credit for that.
Vibey, really got into the zone with this one in the background.
Hard not to love a crooner album from Frank Sinatra.
When I first heard Jonathan Richman I got so into him I totally burned myself out. Fun and enjoyable early punk stuff.
Can't say why but I just don't like Joni Mitchell's voice. I find it grating and hard to listen to.
A little too meandering for me. Don't need the 10 minute songs and don't understand the rhythm of the album.
Bowie is always a banger. This isn't my favorite album ever but it's definitely fantastic.
Not the best stones album but still a solid album.
Was good background music while I got things done but won't go back. Better DJ albums out there.
Did not enjoy. A lot of guitar solos and vague lyrics on top.
I got to see them live in 2016 and they still got it.
Glad to finally know what's up with PJ Harvey. But def not for me.
I found it pretty meh and forgettable?
Fun and interesting, love being exposed to new kinds of music. Didn't love some middle tracks here.
Love Echo and the Bunnymen. Don't think this is their best album but it's a jam.
I love Neil Young but this isn't his best work.
idk it's a banger. I'd put it on anytime I want to feel mellow and calm. Incredible debut album.
I'm just not gonna like heavy metal.
Felt like a generic psychedelic rock album. Nothing too special for me here.
A wonderful capsule of calmness and intrigue from a time we were all staying at home. I didn't listen then but I wish I had. I like the variety, the gentle lyricism, it met the moment and it's cool to live through an album that does that.
Has to catch me in the right mood but is fun when it hits. Kind of a slog when it doesn't. A little creepy and haunting at times. Surprised this of the albums is the one on here.
Wow I really did not know anything about Tom Waits. And I hope that I don't fall in love with you is the only song I knew. This isn't something I'd listen to on my own. I found is fun, bluesy, but not an easy listen?
I had heard "the mother we share" of course but never thought more deeply about the band. Had a lot more fun with this than I expected to. Probably only need one album from them but definitely vibed out.
A little too all over the place for me. Lots of tonal shifting and doesn't end up meshing for me.
Expected to like this a lot more than I did. Found it to be extremely long and tedious at times. Some bangers, I think says a lot about growth in curation for future albums.
The pictures are all I can feel... My love for this album grows every listen. A perfect listen from a very cool band.
I like country, thought this was fun! Don't know if I'm a Dwight Yoakam convert but will see what I come back to.
idk I just don't get it. Was pretty bored by the whole thing?
sound and vision rocks. Hard to hate a bowie album!
I guess I love samba music?
Fun and rocky. Panama continues to be very fun, 40 years on
Elvis Costello just isn't for me. Also don't feel like this is his particularly exceptional album?
It's quite the vibe. I don't think I was ready for something this heavy on my Friday morning. Something I'll likely come back to in a time of grief or uncertainty and reevaluate.
Might just be getting burned out on the 70's rock.
Not the best U2 album in my opinion. Some great jams on here but doesn't ascend the heights of Joshua Tree
Could easily cut 5 songs from this album and raise it a whole star. Definitely some fun pop music on here that I jam to 20 years later but problems with curation, music in those early days of the timberland domination of pop music.
I love me a fun disco album
Yikes. Starting with a bunch of feedback is a really tough intro. Can't believe it's the whole song?!
Found some of it lovely and some of it boring. idk something stuck with me that was a little haunting. A first album, I think curation could have elevated this all the way for me but still beautiful.
Just not a Frank Zappa person and this list is subjecting me to so much of him.
No skips. A tight, captivating album I always love to revisit.
Had a lot more fun with this than I expected!
Nice and gentle, good chill background music
Pretty fun, crazy to hear that opening lick on Marquee Moon that I feel like has just been part of my entire life?
A big slog, not fun at all for me
Love punk, some great songs in here. Doesn't transcend for me but very solid album.
Incredible fun album, great cover art. I was bopping the whole way through
Very fun listen! Never heard of desert blues and never listened to a band from Mali before. Great experience, why I love this list.
Felt long. A general curation note for this list, feels like they should anchor on most impactful album for artists that didn't radically change sound between albums.
