I liked the songs I already knew. The other songs were too long and too many instrument solos.
I am hating this!!!!!!!! Too long! Easy Money is the best song, but that’s not saying a lot. It is easy to work while listening to this in the background. Not distracting.
Obviously a good songwriter. I don’t like his voice. Nothing I ever need to listen to again. No songs stood out.
High and Dry = Good Song
I like Radiohead. All the other songs sound similar, but not bad to listen to.
Buy John Wayne Gacy. Like Chicago. Not bad to listen to. I already knew I liked his voice from his Christmas music. Not a fan of the instrumentals. Cohesive album
Not for me! Did not like!!
Has some great songs that I already owned. Everybody Hurts is one of my all time favorite songs. Pleasant listen. Might add Nightswimming to my collection of music.
I hate jazz!! I hate brass especially trumpets! I hate instrumental music! This was not for me!!!!
Not bad. Didn’t hate. I’d heard of the band, but didn’t know any songs. Fine to listen to.
Very repetitive. Reminds me of the song Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes by Paul Simon, but I’m missing the part where he starts singing. I gave it a two instead of one because at least it was not instrumental and I understand it’s importance.
I love The Beach Boys. RIP Brian Wilson. This is definitely not their best album. No songs stick out much. I didn’t know any going in to listening. Still a very pleasant listen.
Probably controversial, but this album was boring!! Good voices, but not fun to listen to.
I love Outkast. Ms. Jackson came out when I was 10 or 11, and I loved it immediately. Aside from the three songs I knew (Ms. Jackson, So Fresh/So Clean, and Bombs Over Baghdad), nothing stood out to me. It got to be kind of long.
Did not like! I knew I wouldn’t.
Fun album. I knew a few songs already. Enjoyable listen.
It was fine. I would’ve liked it more if In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida wasn’t 17 minutes long. I knew that was a long song, but I don’t think I’d ever heard the whole song before. Overall, the album was psychedelic and poppy. Not bad.
I already owned Where the Wild Roses Grow. Interesting album. Much better than the other Nick Cave album I had to listen to. The songs were interesting and I liked the theme of the album.
Too repetitive. They say the same things over and over in the songs.
Really boring. No songs stuck out. I even like a PJ Harvey song, but I didn’t enjoy this.
Torturous at times. I’m not a big fan of dance/electronica. Did not enjoy this.
Sounded like a soundtrack to a movie. When I read about it in my book, that’s what it was going for. I gave it a two instead of a one because it did achieve its goal. It definitely sounded like a movie soundtrack, not one I’d want to see, but a movie soundtrack nonetheless.
It was fine. Nothing spectacular.
I enjoyed this album. I hate Kanye West as a person, but I enjoyed this album. I already owned two songs from it (Power and Runaway).
Why would anyone want to listen to this??
By far the best album I’ve listened to so far. Nice short songs. I love Queen. I only knew Killer Queen, but that’s one of my favorite Queen songs.
Too long. I definitely liked The Love Below better than Speakerboxx. I knew three songs.
Pleasant listen. Short songs. Very 60’s.
I enjoyed this album. It was weird but entertaining. I already loved Running Ul That Hill (long before it was used on Stranger Things).
It was fine. I’m not a huge Led Zeppelin fan. Tangerine and That’s the Way were my favorites aside from Immigrant Song which was the only song I knew going in.
Did not enjoy. Too many instrumental parts.
A little redundant. Songs could have been shorter. I knew One going in and that was my favorite song on the album. I did not like The Shortest Straw. They said the same thing over and over.
I enjoyed this album. I already knew I liked the Pixies. I knew two songs (Here Comes Your Man and Monkey Gone to Heaven). Nice short songs.
I love the song Thirteen. I knew that song going in. I had no idea that the theme song to That 70’s Show was a Big Star song. Very enjoyable listen.
Classic. Such a socially conscious album. I knew What’s Going On and Mercy Mercy Me going in.
Great album. Have listened to the whole album before and would listen to the whole album again. I love Wouldn’t It Be Nice and God Only Knows.
Why did I need to listen to this? Terrible voice, not fun to listen to.
It was fine. I only knew Money going in. There were too many instrumental parts. I liked the singing parts.
I have never been a fan of the Eagles. I knew Take It Easy and Witchy Woman going in. It was better than a lot of the crap I’ve had to listen to.
Fun album. I’ve always liked the Ramones because my sister did. I knew Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat, and I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend going in. Nice short entertaining songs.
It was fine. It was a typical indie rock album. No songs stood out though.
I liked this album. For some reason it was not on Spotify, so I had to search for the songs. Very British. I knew Our House going in.
I have never liked the song Hotel California which was the only song I knew on the album and the best song on the album. A couple other songs sounded familiar, but I didn’t know them. I was just waiting for this album to end.
I actually like a couple Portishead songs from the 90’s when they were actually relevant. This was not a fun album to listen to. I didn’t like it.
This is one of my favorite Beatles albums. I love so many of the songs on this album.
It was fine. It was a little long. I knew London Calling and Train in Vain going in. I also liked the song Lost in the Supermarket.
I’m not a big fan of reggae. I only knew No Woman, No Cry going in. I didn’t hate this album. It was better than I thought it would be.
I did not think I was going to like this, but I did. It sounds a lot like a lot of the things I like to listen to.
I’ve never been a fan of Tears for Fears although I do like Head Over Heels. I think Everybody Wants to Rule the World is one of the most overplayed 80’s songs. This album was very 80’s. I also knew the song Shout.
It was ok. I knew and liked Do You Realize?. There were a couple instrumental pieces that I didn’t not like.
One hour and 45 minutes of pure torture for me. I do not like jazz. It all sounded the same. I know Miles Davis is good at what he does; it’s just not for me.
RIP Ozzy! That one was hard for me! I love Ozzy’s voice. I love the song Changes. In fact the version he did with Kelly was the first song I ever bought on iTunes when I got my first iPod in 2007! I didn’t know any of the other songs.
I really like Neil Young’s voice. It was a pleasant listen. I only knew My My Hey Hey.
It was entertaining. I lost the plot a little in the middle. I knew Pinball Wizard going in. I wouldn’t listen to the whole album again, but I’m glad I heard it.
I have never like Linkin Park. I don’t understand why I needed to listen to this. I only knew In the End.
Too long. Lost interest. I like the Pixies, but I didn’t like this.
Very pleasant listen. Easy to listen to. Good background music.
I had never heard of this band and I think I could’ve lived without ever hearing this band. Not my style of music. The songs were long and had too many instrument solos.
It was fine. I didn’t know any of the songs.
I have loved the song Lovefool since I was a kid. I didn’t know any of the other songs on the album. There was a weird cover of Iron Man though. I like her voice and it sounds like a lot of things I listen to.
Enjoyable listen. I knew and loved White Winter Hymnal. That was the only song I knew on this album, but I know other songs by this band. This is very much my style of music.
I love The White Stripes. I only knew 4 songs on this album, but it had my favorite White Stripes song (We’re Going to be Friends). I liked all the songs on the album. This is my kind of music.
I’m much more familiar with their disco era. I feel they were trying to sound very Beatlesque in this album. I never thought I’d say this, but I think they sound much better with their falsettos. I only knew How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.
Good album. I knew a few songs.
I don’t like Perry Farrell’s voice. I only knew Jane Says. This was not for me.
It was ok. I agree with the quote from Juno that Sonic Youth is just noise aside from their cover of Superstar.
I know I should like Bob Marley and reggae, but I just don’t. It’s not terrible, but it’s not something that I would want to listen to again.
I don’t like Kings of Leon. I didn’t enjoy this.
I knew and liked Le Freak and I Want Your Love. There were too many instrumental parts which as I’ve previously stated in past reviews I am not a fan of.
It was fine. I didn’t hate it and I didn’t love it. It was an easy listen.
Your standard indie rock album. Not terrible, not great. The lead singers voice is very similar to other indie rock singers. I’ve never heard of this band before.
I only knew and liked one song The Rain. It was long and not my favorite. It was fine.
Anyone who knows me knows I hate country music. I do like some old country like Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline. This old country was too country-y for me. Didn’t like.
Very pleasant listen. I love Paul Simon’s voice. I only knew one song going in (Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard).
It was fine. It used some good samples. I didn’t know any songs. The only Cypress Hill song I know is Insane in the Membrane which wasn’t on this album.
This was not what I was expecting. When I saw how long the songs were, I expected this to be jazz, but it was definitely not jazz. I don’t even know what to call this except weird. It was very experimental and got weirder and weirder as it went on. I was going to give it 2 stars until I got to the second to last song where it went off the rails.
I always think of Rush as being pretty corny. Rush does remind me of my favorite TV show of all time (Freaks and Geeks) and one of the funniest movies I’ve seen (I Love You, Man) both starring Jason Segel. I knew a couple of songs on this album (Tom Sawyer and Limelight). It was fine, but some of the songs were too long.
Boring. Never heard of this band before. Some of the songs were fine. Nothing I’d want to hear again.
The only song I knew was Shining Star which just makes me think of Elaine dancing on Seinfeld! That was really the only song I enjoyed. Some of the songs were long which is never a good thing in my book.
I knew 2 songs on the album (The Number of the Beast and Run to the Hills). This was not for me. I don’t like Bruce Dickinson’s voice.
I was excited that I got a Rolling Stones album, but I did not like this. It was The Rolling Stones trying to sound country. Not for me. I only recognized one song on the album (Shake Your Hips) and I only knew that from a cover that was in one of my Zumba Wii games. I was surprised I didn’t know any other songs because I’ve heard of this album before.
Very pleasant. I like their voices. I knew Love Hurts and Cathy’s Clown. Easy, enjoyable listen.
Not for me. I’d heard of the song Unfinished Sympathy before, but I didn’t like it. It’s just not my genre of music.
I’d heard of William Orbit before because he wrote/produced a ton of hit songs. He did not write himself any hits. This was terrible. So boring. It was mostly instrumental. I was tuning it out because it was so quiet and boring.
It was fine. I’m just not a huge Led Zeppelin fan. I knew and liked Kashmir, but that was the only song I knew.
I had never heard of Jungle Brothers. I was expecting not to like this, but I really enjoyed this. Good old school hip hop with good beats and samples. I’ve discovered through this that I like hip hop a lot more than I thought I did.
I like the Talking Heads. I didn’t know any songs on this album. It was fine. It sounded like the Talking Heads.
It was fine. Not my favorite type of hip hop, but some of the songs were entertaining. I knew C.R.E.A.M.
It was fine. I knew Strange Brew and Sunshine of Your Love.
Noisy. Not fun to listen to. The singer’s voice was fine. I just didn’t like the music. All the songs sounded the same. I feel like they were trying to sound like Fleet Foxes, Vampire Weekend, and MGMT, but they were nowhere near as good as those bands.
Boring. A lot of it sounded the same. I know a couple Jamiroquai songs, but they weren’t on this album.
I owned this CD when I was little. I have always like TLC. I’m not sure if I ever listened to the whole album before though. I’m sure I did, but probably only once or twice. I tended to just listen to the songs I liked. I knew quite a few songs on here though.
I’ve liked Bitter Sweet Symphony since it came out in 1997. I always liked the music video. I also love the song The Drugs Don’t Work. Overall, it was good.
Why more jazz?? At least this didn’t have any brass in it. It was more piano and drums.
By far my favorite Adele album. I listened to this over and over again in 2011. I love almost every song on it. I especially love Someone Like You.
Sounded like all of the other Led Zeppelin albums I’ve had to listen to. I only knew Whole Lotta Love.
Too long. I’m not a fan of live albums or Peter Frampton. I only knew the song Baby I love Your Way.
Not for me!! I did not enjoy this.
I love this album!! I own this on vinyl. I love Nirvana, and this is my favorite album of theirs.
I really like the Smashing Pumpkins. This isn’t my favorite album of theirs though. I love the song Today, and I really like the songs Cherub Rock and Disarm.
I didn’t hate this quite as much as I thought I would. It started out decent and then I swear his voice got worse with each and every song. I’ve always hated his voice though.
It was easy to listen to. It’s just Willie Nelson singing cover songs. I think most of these songs have been done better by other people though.
It was fine. I like Marc Bolan’s voice. I knew Bang a Gong. I liked the song Cosmic Dancer.
The same sounds over and over again on repeat for over an hour. Ugh!! So bad!!
Not my genre of music. I know he is supposed to be a great guitarist, but this just wasn’t for me.
It was fine. I feel like I’d heard a couple of the songs before.
I was surprised, but I really did not enjoy this. I only knew Riders on the Storm. I love a Doors song (People are Strange), but I did not like Jim Morrison’s voice on this album.
Boring! Forgettable. I have heard of the song Alone Again Or. Wasn't the worst, but certainly wasn’t great.
I would’ve rather listened to a Sex Pistols album. I didn’t like this. It was just noise.
I really like The Cure, but I did not know any songs on this album. I did not think any of the songs were particularly good. I like Robert Smith’s voice though.
I’m not a fan of Motörhead or live albums. I knew Ace of Spades, but I don’t like Lenny’s voice.
Corny. The songs were too long. They weren’t terrible, but it wasn’t for me.
It was fine. I liked it better than later Yeah Yeah Yeahs songs. I knew the song Heads Will Roll. I’ve never been a big fan of this band.
It was fine, not great. I knew Money for Nothing and Walk of Life. I never knew Money for Nothing had a terrible gay slur in it though. I don’t think I had ever heard the whole song before. The songs were too long.
Terrible. Every song sounded exactly the same. I knew Raining Blood from playing Guitar Hero back in the day. Thank God the album was short.
I would’ve rather listened to five Slayer albums in a row.
Of all the jazz I’ve had to listen to, this has been the best. Some of it had melodies and the songs were short. It was also more upbeat. It was much better than the Indian music I had to listen to yesterday.
I knew all but 4 songs on this album. It was good.
I don’t know why I had to listen to a one hit wonder’s album. I knew Brimful of Asha. I never realized they were Indian before now.
Terrible. It was only four songs, and it was too long.
Not my favorite Michael Jackson album. I have always liked Michael though. I only knew Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough, Rock With You, and She’s Out of My Life. This album was a little too disco-y for my taste.
I don’t know why I needed to listen to this. Very 70’s. Very forgettable.
I of course knew More Than a Feeling and I recognized a couple others. This is the type of music I don’t enjoy. I throw this band in with Styx, REO Speedwagon, and Journey as music that is tolerable, but that I don’t ever need to hear again.
My favorite Prince song is Little Red Corvette. It always has been and always will be. I also like 1999. Other than that, I didn’t know any other songs on this album. It was a little long. None of the songs stood out to me, but it was much better than a lot of stuff I’ve had to listen to.
Boring. Long. I didn’t think Elvis Costello was even still relevant in the 90s.
I, of course, knew Smoke on the Water. I didn’t like this album. It was not for me.
Boring. Long. Just wanted it over with.
I knew Time After Time, She-Bop, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and All Through the Night. It was fine. Very poppy.
It was fine. It was very 60s-ish. It was very forgettable.
There were two bands in the 90’s with crows in the name and I don’t know which one I hated more. Based on this album, I hate The Black Crowes more. I knew Hard to Handle, but the original by Otis Redding is much better. I had also heard She Talks to Angels before.
I only knew Tiny Dancer or as Phoebe said in Friends, “Hold me closer Tony Danza.” It was fine. I’m not the biggest Elton John fan, but I don’t hate him.
This is one of my favorite Taylor Swift albums. I own it on vinyl. I especially love the songs Out of the Woods, Wildest Dreams, Clean, and I Know Places.
Knew it was Nick Cave’s voice right away. I did not like it.
I am not a huge fan of Arcade Fire, but I forgot that I liked a few songs on this album. I recognized way more songs than I thought I would.
This is my brother-in-law’s kind of music. Not for me. Mainly girls yelling. No thanks!
I knew and liked Wish You Were Here. I didn’t like any of the other songs. They were way too long. It took almost 9 minutes for someone to sing in one of the songs. Not for me.
I feel like I shouldn’t have liked this, but I actually knew and liked 3 songs. I didn’t like the rest. I knew Tuesday’s Gone, Simple Man, and Free Bird.
This was terrible. Worse than jazz. It was over an hour of electronic torture.
I liked this way more than I thought I would because I thought I would hate it. I knew the song Rise Above because it was featured in my favorite TV show, Freaks and Geeks. The songs were short, the lyrics were understandable, and the album was short.
I enjoyed this. I already knew and liked the songs Straight Outta Compton, F Tha Police, and Express Yourself. The songs were entertaining.
It was ok. Nothing too special. I knew Papa Was a Rolling Stone, but I never knew it was 9 minutes long. I also knew the song First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, but I didn’t know their version.
Did I ever need to hear Jumpin Jack Flash and Light My Fire played on the sitar? No, I did not, but now I have. This was better than the Ravi Shankar album though because it was more than just the sitar. You know I don’t like instrumentals though.
I liked this a lot. This is some of my favorite kind of music - very British. I love when singers have thick British accents when they sing. I already knew 3 songs from this, but I liked them all. This is very similar to some of my favorite bands at the time - The View, The Fratellis, Arctic Monkeys.
I knew and like take Five, but I absolutely hated the rest.
I like and own Clint Eastwood, but I didn’t enjoy the rest all that much.
I liked this. I knew and liked Graceland and Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes. I own and love You Can Call Me Al.
I knew Runnin’ With the Devil and You Really Got Me, but I obviously like The Kinks better. I also felt like I had heard a couple of the other songs before. I liked it.
I love Northern Sky, but the rest all kind of sounded the same. It was pleasant but boring.
This was not what I was expecting. Half of it was good, half of it was not. One of the singers had a good voice, the other did not.
This was horrible. It was the first time that I quit an album halfway through. I listened to the whole first disc which was over an hour. There was no way I was listening to another hour of this. It was repetitive electronic music. Ugh!!
Boring. I’d heard Allison before. It was fine I guess
It was pleasant. I, of course, know her version of Respect which I like. I also knew I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You.
It was fine. I knew A Woman’s Work. I like her weird voice.
I know and like Sexy Boy. The rest was boring.
It was fine. Your typical indie album. I never need to hear it again.
Not for me. Good for its genre. I just don’t enjoy that genre. It didn’t help that I had a headache while I listened to it.
Loved. I love Simon & Garfunkel. Bookends is one of my favorite songs of theirs. I also love America. I also knew and liked Mrs. Robinson and Hazy Shade of Winter.
Boring. Not a fan of his voice.
I own and love Two Weeks, but other than that the album was pretty boring.
It was fine. Very British. Kind of boring.
I did not like this. It was not for me.
I didn’t know any of the songs. I like the Talking Heads though. Kind of boring.
It was fine. It was good for its genre. The songs were short which was nice.
I knew Bad Moon Rising. I don’t like John Fogerty’s voice. It was nice and short though.
I’ve never been a big fan of The Police or Sting. His voice gets to be a little grating after awhile. I, of course, knew Every Breath You Take. I did enjoy this much more than a lot of the albums I’ve had to listen to recently.
It was ok. I didn’t know any songs on this. I do know and like some New Order songs. It was a little too 80’s for me though.
It was ok. I knew Spinning Wheel and You’ve Made Me So Very Happy. They had a long jazz piece at the end which I didn’t like. I also didn’t like the main singers voice.
Two Police albums in one week. Again, it was fine. I knew Message in a Bottle mainly because I played it a million times on Guitar Hero back in the day. I also knew Walking on the Moon.
I really like The Replacements. I Will Dare is my favorite of their songs. Funnily enough, just yesterday a new music video for I Will Dare was released and a band that I’ve seen about 8 times, The Shackletons, are in it. I also really like the song Androgynous.
I like The Kinks. I didn’t know any songs on this. It was fine. There are definitely better Kinks albums in my opinion.
I do not like Kanye as a person, but I do like some of his music. I knew All Falls Down, Jesus Walks, Slow Jamz, and Through the Wire.
Did not like. Country and weirdly religious. They had a cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night, but it was nowhere near as good as Nirvana’s cover.
Ok. Kind of long. I only knew Mama Said Knock You Out. I liked the song Illegal Search.
It was good. I knew Girls & Boys and Parklife. Very British which I liked
Loved! I love Bohemian Rhapsody and Love of My Life. I really like You’re my Best Friend. I enjoyed the whole album.
Pleasant listen. Very folky. I recognized a couple songs.
I don’t understand why I needed to listen to listen. It sounded like late 90’s hard rock which is not a genre I particularly like. I knew Drive and Pardon Me.
So boring. It all sounded the same.
I’m not a big fan of Liz Phair. The only song I’ve ever really liked of hers was her song from the early 2000’s called Why Can’t I, which everyone called her sell out song. I only knew Never Said on this album. The songs were short, but there were a lot of songs.
The was better than the other New Order album I listened to. I knew Elegia.
Ok. Very British. I knew Common People.
I’m not gonna lie; I’ve never been a huge fan of Duran Duran. Sorry Theresa!! I knew Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf. I also felt like I’d heard Save a Prayer before. I thought all the songs kind of sounded the same except for The Chauffeur which I liked. Simon Le Bon has a very distinctive voice though.
I’m not a big fan of dance music. I knew and like Connected, but I didn’t like anything else.
Ok. Very 80’s hip hop. The songs were too long and too repetitive though. I had heard Planet Rock before.
Great! I love The Beatles. For No One and Here, There, and Everywhere are two of my favorite Beatles songs. I love a lot more on this album though.
Did not like. Just noise.
I liked this. I love and own I Wanna Be Adored. I’d heard of a few of the other songs as well. This is my style of music. They influenced a lot of the bands I like.
Boring. Too long. Didn’t like.
It was ok. Really long. I knew and liked Alright, but I’m just not a huge fan of Kendrick Lamar. I don’t get the hype.
I hate John Fogerty’s voice. I knew Proud Mary, but I much prefer Tina Turner’s version. At least it was short.
Very 80’s, which is not necessarily a good thing. I, of course, knew and liked Don’t You Want Me, but I didn’t particularly like anything else.
I liked this. It had quite a few songs that I know on it. My favorite Elton John song is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. It was a long album though and I really only liked the songs I already knew.
This is not for me. Did not enjoy. At least it was only 30 minutes long.
I love a Buffalo Springfield song, For What It’s Worth, but it was not on this album. I found this pretty forgettable, but it was short.
I really like The Smiths, but I wasn’t very familiar with the songs on this album. I feel like I’ve heard a few of them before, but they aren’t ones I like to listen to. Overall, I still liked it though.
Noisy and all the songs sounded the same.
It was fine. Very British. Too much talking over music rather than singing though. Never heard of this band before.
Not the worst and certainly not the best hip hop I’ve had to listen to. It was long. I did like the song Thin Line though
