Paul McCartney and Wings · 1 likes
4/5
It's a banger for sure. Fun listening. Jubilant with some crispy highs on this rollercoaster.
I find this album best paired with morning commutes (not evening) and chopping vegetables.
Thin Lizzy · 1 likes
3/5
Makes me think of big hair. Induces compulsive air guitar with sick moves.
Pairs well with mowing the lawn.

Very slow.. Hard for me to pay attention. Good background music for a romantic date maybe.
Ali Farka Touré
4/5
Very interesting, far outside the norm. I find it inspirational and tranquil without being boring.
Pairs well with drawing and decorating.
The Beach Boys
4/5
This was just the ramp up to their real 5 star album. It's still great nonetheless, vocal harmonies are unmatched.
This music pairs great with reorganizing and decorating your house.
Jacques Brel
2/5
Bonjour, it's like deja vu, my chauffeur said it's like belle epoque with Grey poupon in baton rouge. Pairs well with chicken cordon bleu and a baguette.

This album gets in there and shakes up your soul. It's got a texture you can't really get from any other group. Thoroughly magical.
Pairs best with woodworking or lsd (I wouldn't recommend them both at the same time though).

Louis Prima

Pretty fun. Best paired with dinner guests who you're trying to impress.
Al Green
3/5
Groovy and with gusto. Very enjoyable listen.
Pairs well with doing dishes or getting ready for date night.
Queen
4/5
This album is epic in a way one could only imagine if you're only familiar with the hits, like I was. Not a moment goes by that I wasn't fully engulfed in the music.
Pairs excellent with working on your car or arts and crafts.
Frank Sinatra
2/5
Dated and predictable. I might have a different opinion if I was 80.
Pairs well with eating cabbage and visiting grandma.
The Black Crowes
3/5
Very fun and evergetic. Pairs well with crocheting or doing taxes.
Anthrax
2/5
Pretty heavy, pretty heavy. Good stuff.
Pairs well with riding Harleys and picking kids up from school
Eagles
2/5
It's the eagles, it's kinda slow and sad. Also kinda monotonous.
Pairs well with day drinking or driving an old car where it's the tape permanently stuck in the deck.
Lou Reed
4/5
If you've never heard it, it brings a vibe not easily found. The whole album is good, with some serious gems within.
Pairs well with washing your car or rolling blunts.
David Crosby
3/5
Mellow and enjoyable, I enjoy the vocals and soft beats.
Pairs well with cooking or driving in the hot sun.
John Martyn
2/5
Boooooorrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnngggggg
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Fantastic and triumphant album all the way through.. Except for the intro to in the light is about a minute and a half too long. Would have been 5 stars otherwise.
Pairs best with singing in the shower or air guitar.

Missy Elliott

Alice In Chains

Nick Drake
4/5
Nick Drake was an amazing musician with a magical voice. Top tier.
Pairs well with picnics in the forest on cool, bright days.
Quicksilver Messenger Service

Some really fantastic jams here.. It's got some flavors of some other more popular bands.
Pairs well with model airplane building.
3/5
Very 80s

Don McLean

Elton John
3/5
The Residents
1/5
The entire thing sounds like what my talentless friends and I would make if we were tripping on acid while trapped in a music store.
I suppose it is one of the albums of all time, but to me it's just thoroughly unenjoyable.
Run-D.M.C.
4/5
The Isley Brothers
5/5
Uplifting and motivating.
Pairs well with cooking with your wife or street skateboarding.
Iron Butterfly
2/5
It has its moments. Harsh and prickly, but mostly not in a good way.
Pairs well with pretending to be cool.
Deep Purple
3/5
The Beach Boys
4/5
Amazing all around. Great history.
Pairs well with bike rides on hot days and picnics.
Talking Heads

Eminem
3/5
Vulgar and offensive. Very clever and smooth rhymes.
Pairs well with punching drywall or driving to quit your job.
MGMT
2/5
Montage music.
Bob Dylan
3/5
The xx
2/5
Incredible Bongo Band
4/5
Seriously groovin'. So entertaining. Highly familiar even though I've never heard the album before this.
This album does a real good job of getting its energy straight to your limbic system.
Sleater-Kinney
1/5
Thin Lizzy
3/5
Makes me think of big hair. Induces compulsive air guitar with sick moves.
Pairs well with mowing the lawn.
Blood, Sweat & Tears
2/5
The horns are cool.
The Replacements
2/5
The Temptations
3/5
Tempting...
Justin Timberlake
3/5
Mike Oldfield
2/5
Not quite as entertaining as the start would have me believe. Sailors hornpipe got me shufflin' a bit.
Pairs well with decorating a Christmas tree.
The Soft Boys
3/5
Very diverse. 40 tracks, some better than others. The genres seems to shift around the deeper you get. Pretty enjoyable though.
Pairs well with packing for vacation.
Beastie Boys
4/5
The Pharcyde
3/5
Nostalgic, definitely brings me back to a time when I really didn't understand music.
It's fun and outrageous, but not really all that in my opinion.
Johnny Cash
4/5
This album does what I wish more country could.
Easy to listen and follow. Flawless use of simplicity and an amazing voice.
The Band
3/5
Frank Zappa
5/5
Makes the music in my head feel sane. I could close my eyes and imagine the Muppets playing this music.
Cheerful and gratifying.
T. Rex
2/5
I found the album to be pretty mid.. Very cliche and predictable throughout, but not a terrible listen.
Due to the high expectations I've placed on the list, I'm rating it a 2.
Christina Aguilera
3/5
She really has an excellent voice. The whole album has the same vibe though.
The Cars
4/5
Fatboy Slim
5/5
Fatboy slim really has a penchant for fabricating these punchy tunes that just get me pumped.
Everything just seems like such a breakthrough for the time it was created.
Björk
1/5
This was quite a struggle to get through, I really tried to enjoy it.
The vocals don't always seem to match up to the rest. Also, the vocals and lyrics are just not pleasant, which is a shame because she's got a great voice.
Miles Davis
2/5
May be the birth of cool.. But cool hadn't quite peaked yet.
Miles has an expansive discography, and within it are more than one five star albums. For me, this doesn't quite boop that button.
David Bowie
4/5
An excellent album, really a work of art.
Radiohead
3/5
Elton John
4/5
Miles Davis
5/5
Napalm Death
2/5
As soon as the vocals hit in the first song I started laughter! Soon after, I was imagining the singer as being a dog, which also made me laugh.
It's terrible, lyrics are completely indecipherable.
However, it was more enjoyable than some other music I've come across on this list. The energy of nihilism and anger are here in full force. And I could imagine their shows being a blast.
Björk
2/5
This album certainly takes you on a journey. Although, that journey is partially through some dog shit and the like.
It's not all bad though, just some of it.
Pink Floyd
4/5
Emmylou Harris
2/5
Typical and predictable. She has a great voice though.
Pairs well with day drinking and loneliness.
The Thrills
3/5
Einstürzende Neubauten
1/5
I'm not sure how this ended up on the list, because it doesn't really seem to be music for much of the 55 tediously protracted minutes.
This is actually the first album on the list that I refused to finish because it's just such horrible noise.
This is the kind of thing preteen edge lords listen to in order to make people like them even less... But even they don't enjoy it.
Nirvana
4/5
Arrested Development
5/5
Very uplifting, much different from the hip hop of the same era. It's rhythmic and funky, varied. Even though it probably won't come up very often in my daily listening, I'm giving it 5 stars because it really is a masterpiece.
Pairs well with organizing your home.
50 Cent
4/5
Violent and gangsta.
Pairs well with getting a haircut.
Count Basie & His Orchestra
3/5
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
ZZ Top
3/5
Janelle Monáe
3/5
Interesting.. Some real interesting bangers on this album. Set my algorithm in an interesting direction.
5/5
This one is an easy five and my personal favorite from the Beatles.
Catchy and in no way lacking depth. By the time the second namesake of the album comes on there's a slight sadness like you know the band is about to leave the stage.
Luckily, unlike a concert, you can just replay the album again.
Beach House
2/5
Pretty boring and insipid. Very difficult to keep my attention on the music.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
3/5
B.B. King
3/5
Dated, but BB most certainly was the king of blues. His buttery riffs will live on forever.
The Style Council
3/5
Some fun stuff.. It's all over the place.
Sepultura
3/5
Heavy, very heavy. But no so absurdly metal that it's unenjoyable.
Joni Mitchell
4/5
Only ever heard the name, so this was my first experience with Joni and this album exceeded my expectations. I'll probably listen again soon.
Talking Heads
4/5
Listening to this album really elevated my fondness for Talking Heads. It's really an enjoyable album.
Pairs well with technically challenging work or hobbies.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
May not be the cool band to listen to. But no doubt these fellas brought a pretty fine album here.
OutKast
4/5
Totally stank.
3/5
Jeff Buckley
3/5
Ethereal.. Forgettable.
Buffalo Springfield
3/5
Wu-Tang Clan
3/5
Didn't age as well as some other hip hop from this era.
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
I had to listen twice, it's a little boring. It can roll on in the background of just about anything though.
The Allman Brothers Band
3/5
Kate Bush
4/5
Although it's probably not an album I'll likely reach for again, it's everything a good album should be. Interesting, adventurous, and takes you to the places the artist intended.
I look forward to listening again when I start the list over.
Grizzly Bear
2/5
Mid
James Taylor
2/5
I don't feel like I could trust someone who chooses to play this album.
Orbital
4/5
I know people don't like this kind of music.. But I like this kind of music.
Black Sabbath
4/5
My only gripe is that it's so short.
David Ackles
1/5
Theatrical.. But not in a good way.
The Who
5/5
4/5
Wonderwall is so overplayed, I rolled my eyes when this album came up. But, it was really good.
The Velvet Underground
3/5
Some of it is good. But 48 mins is far too much of this.
Adele
2/5
It's not hard to listen to, but I feel kinda greasy after listening to it.
Jeru The Damaja
3/5
I got laughed at by a coworker for not knowing how to pronounce the name of this artist... "Jay-ru the damager" is the colloquial version.
The Prodigy
4/5
Bob Dylan
3/5
Pretty good for a Bob album.
Orbital
2/5
Orbital has some great music, it's just not contained on this album.
Cocteau Twins
2/5
Elevator music from the future.
Minor Threat
4/5
This shit puts some pep in your step. Amazing energy and a fun mystery trying to figure out the words!
Love
2/5
It's not bad, not hard to listen to. Not really noteworthy in my opinion.
Donald Fagen
2/5
This is the kind of music for people who want others to think they like music, but really they don't.
Sonic Youth
3/5
Not terrible, not great.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Although it's not my favorite Led Zeppelin album, the dudes still created magic through most of these 43 minutes.
Electric Light Orchestra
2/5
Dolly Parton
4/5
I never really listened to Dolly, I'm glad this was on the list because it was really good and showcased her amazing talent. She's not just an amazing person, but a great musician as well.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
2/5
Quite a let down here. This just doesn't have the excitement I would expect from similarly labeled music from this time period.
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
3/5
Well, I judged this album by its name and turns out I wasn't wrong. Salsa isn't really my jam unless the food type. But dude does have a great voice.
The Stooges
4/5
I went into this one with zero knowledge of these dudes, I listened to the whole thing without realizing iggy pop is part of the mix. Pretty great and long, never know what the next song holds.
Bob Dylan
2/5
Kanye West
1/5
I really cranked up the volume and tried to immerse myself completely to try and separate my personal bias.. This is just terrible, he uses the worst of every genre, embarrassing use of vocal modulator, weak rhymes and turbulent, almost non-existent flow.
Brian Wilson
3/5
Yes
4/5
Megadeth
4/5
Nick Drake
4/5
Not my favorite Nick Drake album, but he was so good so this still gets a 4.
The Cure
3/5
Guns N' Roses
4/5
Kings of Leon
3/5
Solomon Burke
4/5
I'm not sure this will ever go out of style.
Soundgarden
5/5
Soundgarden and this album specifically give grunge a smoothness thanks to the warm guitar and Chris Cornell's legendary voice.
Maybe it's because it was the first of many albums I stole from my dad in what would be a decades long war he started by stealing my Bad Religion CD, but this album has a special place in my heart.
Although I haven't listed to it in a few years and my taste in music has considerably drifted, it's still earns what only my favorite albums do, five stars.
P.s. Deluxe edition is 5 stars as well.
Coldplay
3/5
Rocket From The Crypt
3/5
That was kinda fun.. Not sure it belongs on the list. But I enjoyed it.
The Birthday Party
1/5
Well, the name is fitting as it sounds like heaps of junkyard trash falling into a dumpster.

Mariah Carey
3/5
Miles Davis
4/5
ABBA

Lana Del Rey

I thought her voice was alright before I listened to this album.
Black Sabbath
4/5
Typical black Sabbath with a basket full of bangers.
Various Artists
4/5
All classics, all Christmas.
Beck
2/5
Beck is extremely talented and there's a few bangers on this album.. But the album as a whole, I found it ok, while my wife found it abhorrent.
The Human League
3/5
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Beck
3/5
Chill... Almost too chill
Pere Ubu
1/5
This was a very difficult album to get through,but I begrudgingly completed it. It's thoroughly unenjoyable and the vocals are nothing short of a tragedy.
Blur
4/5
Might not be considered "cool" but this album is pretty fun.
Radiohead
1/5
I don't really see what the hype is around this band.. Most of their stuff isn't this bad though.
LCD Soundsystem
3/5
Lightning Bolt
1/5
Bordering on what one could call music.
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
Taking a glance at the glaring one star review where the user wrote a book longer than the album about how terrible it is. All I can say is, "whatever dude, I like Billy's voice and this album is a banger."
Waylon Jennings
3/5
Big Brother & The Holding Company
3/5
Norah Jones
2/5
She's got a great voice.. But it was very hard to pay attention to the music without falling into a coma.
Prince
3/5
The album contains some certifiable bangers for sure. However, the album as a whole gets a little stale and boring.
Rufus Wainwright
2/5
Background music for people organizing their cast iron pan collection.
John Lennon
3/5
Johnny Cash
5/5
This was awesome, I'd never listened before. A live album like this really put you there.
T. Rex
3/5
David Holmes
4/5
I may be biased as breakbeats are involved in many beautiful memories for me. This album is extra buttery for easy consumption in daily life. It may not be the spectacular, action-packed trip some are looking for, but I don't think that's the point.
Pleasant and breezy, it pairs amazingly with technical and challenging tasks.
Willie Nelson
2/5
I love Willie, but this album is boring as hell.
The Band
4/5
Very substantial.
John Grant
3/5
I would have loved this back when I was on heroin.
Funkadelic
4/5

Q-Tip

Very unique, not what I was expecting.
The Yardbirds

Don't like the man.. But the album is undeniable. Had me groovin and bussing and hehe'in at work.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
The Stooges
4/5
Filthy.. Makes me want to kick a trash can.
Steely Dan
3/5
The two songs I knew before listening gave me high hopes for this album. It ain't bad.
Harry Nilsson
5/5
William Orbit
4/5
I found this quite soothing. I just so happened to listen to this one in the car where the bass really brought this music to life. It doesn't bang so hard it wants to break the windows, but it sends buttery smooth rumbles throughout.
It's not enough of an adventure for 5 stars, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The Shamen
2/5
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
I listen to this before going out for my favorite pastime of attention seeking.

Linkin Park
5/5
I haven't listened to this album in a very long time. In hindsight, it is a little corny.
This album spoke to a lot of young people though, in many ways. It helped open my ears to genres outside the world of rock.
Whether you want to sing, scream, rap, air guitar, air turntable, etc, this album is there for you.
The Verve
3/5
Very long.. Some of it is great.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
Five star instrumentals with 3 star vocals.
Bonnie Raitt
2/5
Rage Against The Machine
5/5
Five stars for the music, five stars for what it stands for.
Ice Cube

The flow and voice were above par for the period. The content of the lyrics isn't very tasteful.
The Everly Brothers

Pretentious, offensively boring.
Kings of Leon

Amy Winehouse

I'm not sure I've met someone in person who's listened to this whole album and not liked it.
Pavement
3/5
Korn
5/5
Tons of hate, nonsensical vocal sounds, offensive lyrics, extended range guitars, fuckin' bagpipes... unfathomable cheesiness.
Fred dust feature and an absurd bonus track lock this in as one of the most ridiculous but hype albums of the era. Unlike much other metal, you can understand the lyrics that are actually words. That's a pro or a con based on who you ask.
Half the haters secretly enjoy this shit.

I'm almost finished with it at this exact moment and I'm anxiously waiting for it to be over so I can put something else on.
Boring, generic and dreary if I had to define it.

The Notorious B.I.G.
3/5
Big's flow was great, but the content of the lyrics and those skits knocked this back a few pegs for me.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet

It's definitely elevator music. But it's pretty damn good elevator music.

Smooth and chill.. Enjoyable, but it doesn't quite scratch the itch if you're trying to really lock in.
Supergrass
3/5
Pretty generic.
Röyksopp
5/5
I had to listen twice to really take in everything this album offers. Its warm and smooth, has some nice chunk in all the right places. Just like my wife.
Just like butter, this pairs well with just about anything.
Mylo
5/5
What a fantastic album. This thing is full pump and really takes you places. Some of these samples are funny, some are motivating, but they're all executed flawlessly.
Missing persons, Duran Duran, missing persons, Duran Duran...
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
Public Image Ltd.
1/5
A fine selection of the worst noises that can be produced using these instruments. Vocals are so cheesy and trying way too hard. It almost sounds like a joke.
Eric Clapton
3/5
Pink Floyd
4/5
OutKast
4/5
GZA
4/5
Wu-tang forever.
Scritti Politti
2/5
Portishead
3/5
I was looking forward to this album when it came up.. But it was kinda a let down.
Taylor Swift
3/5
Dr. Dre
2/5
Dinosaur Jr.
2/5
The further I got into it, the more upset I got that I had to keep listening to it. It's mostly just noise.
David Bowie
3/5
Weather Report
3/5
Amazing musicians playing dull music.
Cyndi Lauper
3/5
A product of its time.
Blondie
3/5
A great example of how silly the 80s was.
Sister Sledge
5/5
That was much more enjoyable than I thought it'd be. The remixes at the end of the '95 remaster were the icing on the cupcake.
Genesis
3/5
2Pac
3/5
Fela Kuti
3/5
I love long tracks and live albums, but this was just alright.
3/5
This album doesn't sound wholly original.. It has its moments though.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Foo Fighters
3/5
Even when I was young and my personality was based around rock music, this band just never really did it for me. Sort of generic and uninspired.
Ministry
4/5
Sacrilege aside, this is about as good as industrial gets. Great riffs and energy.
Wilco
4/5
I've heard a smattering of trashed talked about Wilco in general, but never felt the urge to dive in. The whole point of this list is to expand our listening, and this album certainly did.
I found this enjoyable the whole way through. Lots of ups and downs, some great riffs. Nothing too shocking or boring.
The Louvin Brothers
3/5
Very old time.. Not bad, but gets old quick.
Buena Vista Social Club
3/5
Frank Black
1/5
I struggled hard to get through this one..
The Velvet Underground
3/5
Sigur Rós
2/5
Stereo MC's
3/5
Even in my days of running around with glowsticks in my pockets at the all ages club, spun out and obsessed with any electronic music I could hear, this album was still super cheesy.
808 State
4/5
Hole
2/5
It's got a few ok tracks.. I'll probably never listen to it again.
Peter Gabriel
1/5
Skillful and unique.. But there's no soul here.
Moby
5/5
I'm sort of biased on this one.. I knew and enjoyed Moby before I wandered over to his set at ultra music festival 2008. What I saw was an artist who knew the crowd he was playing to and threw down so hard in that sweaty tent. It solidified my love for this artist and his versatility.
This album isn't much like what that was, but it has its place.
Bad Company
3/5
Not super exciting, but it's a safe play in a work environment, etc.
Radiohead
2/5
Boston
3/5
As great as this album is, I never had much of an urge to put it on. Coincidentally though, I just became a dad last week, so I figured this would be a grand opportunity to test out the dad rock on my new found tiresome lifestyle. Turns out, it had no effect.. Maybe I'm not the father.
Jerry Lee Lewis
2/5
Spiritualized
2/5
As an enjoyer of ambient music from time to time, I'd say this album is mostly trash. Sometimes the trash is interrupted to make room for some garbage.
Massive Attack
5/5
A fantastic album by a fantastic group.. Very trippy and inventive. This can be played at any volume in many situations.
The Icarus Line
3/5
A weak attempt to be like other bands with more talent.
2/5
Killing Joke
3/5
Stevie Wonder
2/5
Not his best work.
