You know, Serge, you're what the French call "les incompetents"

1 ok song. Black Skinhead has a different context in 2025

Why did every song have to be so long? Why is this album on the list? Is this going to turn out to be some kind of joke where at the end we get a message laughing how we wasted years doing this? Needs more footwerk

This is just too corny to be appreciated

Really enjoyed this one. Double listen!

I wish I was in a tavern when I was listening to this

There were a couple songs I liked, then stopped liking, then started liking again. Just a bit too long.

If Walk of Life or Money for Nothing was on this album, it might be a bump to 2 or 3 stars. Somehow felt longer than the Masekela album

Boreoncé

There’s a reason there’s just one well-known single from this album

Stupid ass

Kim Gordon once said that Lana Del Rey should kill herself once.

Sprawl II was good. 2 stars!

It all just bled together, I don’t think I could pinpoint a single song

I couldn’t stop kicking flipping when I listened to this

It’s fine, mysterious ways is a good enough for a 3 star

If I could give it a zero I would. It straight up ruined my day with how terrible it was.

Didn’t give me what I wanted

It’s time to put Bill Callahan away

Probably closer to a 4.5, just good jams

A fine Ladd

Hot take: I don’t care how influential music from the 70’s is if it’s garbage. This was painful.

Really Excellent Music Red Egg Man

One day in the studio, an engineer complete messed up the mix and called it a new genre and tricked people into thinking it’s good. This album, like all shoegaze and shoegaze adjacent albums, is terrible.

You know, Serge, you're what the French call "les incompetents"

It’s always a little concerning when a “known” band comes up - is it going to be an oasis situation or a Franz situation? This shit ruled. I expected it to and was happy to be correct. 9 awesome songs. It made me sad to be alive because it means I’m not good.

Very neutral on this, as three as they come

I had hopes that a-ha would prove to me more than a one-hit wonder after the second song. Then the rest of the album played.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Mr Brightside remains the GOAT song of the 21st century

It’s crazy how much better FutureSex/LoveSounds is than this generic, soulless R&B trash is.

This coward didn’t call any of her albums “dude you’re getting” so automatic 1 star

Jesse Lacey was full of shit, it’s fine to criticize Morrissey

I was between a 1 and 2 for this one but I’ll give it the star for having some brevity. Didn’t really hate it but didn’t really like it.

Better than Creep but I still don’t get Radiohead

What a ripper. I only knew the singles but liked the whole album. It’s kind of sad when iconic singles have defined a band rather than a whole album.

This one could have used some more time….in utero

I didn’t love this album but it’s exactly what I wanted from this list - an album full of songs that I’ve never heard from a band I’ve never even heard of.

Even worse than I thought it would be

Overall pretty good, definitely more good songs but don’t you want me is a classic and the rest of the album didn’t reach that height

What a mistake to put Good Vibrations on this album to remind the listener of what was. It’s certainly made me appreciate every “genius” musician that died young.

Hopefully the worst Bowie album on this list. Very 3 star

This album is responsible for my favorite joke on a podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9JUAu_v4rA&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD

Totally neutral on this. I like Paranoid but nothing else is good or bad.

I think that I’ve always disliked Hotel California enough to discount the Eagles entirely but this was better than I was expecting, I might even be willing to so that I liked it.

Left me snorin

Let’s have an album party

I don’t like “I want you to want me” enough to knock this down to a 3. If it had Dream Police instead, it gets a 4

Never been a Jack White or White Stripes fan, still am not after listening to this album. The whole early 2000’s garage/indie rock era was never for me (except Franz Ferdinand after hearing it in this list).

A nice jazz album that didn’t overstay its welcome.

I have soft spot for 90’s dance so I was excited to see this pop up but I really wish every song was about a minute shorter, could have bumped it to a 5.

I liked this album a lot, I don’t really listen to much electronic music. I do have to wonder what exactly sets this album apart from the countless other electronic music but I’m not complaining.

I went in with an open mind, not having heard much Bob Dylan and hoping for the best. I did not get the best - it was worse than I could have thought.

Any album with with a song bragging about a massive song is going to get a bonus star. I think it’s kinda popular to not like Aerosmith but it’s a fun album. The singles are timeless for a reason.

The highs are high and the lows are also fine. I’m not sure if I like Bowie or not yet.

This is a weird one - I I liked all the songs individually but by the time I finished, I realized I didn’t really like the album.

Pretty whatever. Didn’t hate it

I haven’t been sleeping well and the first thing I do in the morning is listen to these albums so when I say it felt like a fever dream, it has nothing to do with the music and more my state of mind.

1 ok song. Black Skinhead has a different context in 2025

Just terrible shit. I don’t care if they heavily influenced an entire genre when they bands they influenced are a million times better

I think if this album came out 3 years earlier, it would have been big. Unfortunately, it’s just a worse version of MGMT with everything else bad about indie-electronic pop of the time. Foster the People’s debut album isn’t on this god-awful list but this random-ass, no impact having, generic album is?

I am not a Beatles Boy but I recognize that A Day in The Life might be the greatest song ever written. This is a perfect album and it’s a shame that we have ever other Beatles album on this list instead of just having one to truly appreciate.

Rats off to you Zappa in the crappa PaZappa the Rappa

Knew I’d like it from the first note. Shame Oasis is the famous 90’s band from the UK

I always knew LL Cool J but never had any idea what his music was like. Never in a million years would I have guessed he was the Mama Said Knock You Out guy. Every song was too long and some were really annoying but overall I still enjoyed it.

It’s no NWA

What a waste of time. Nothing interesting, just monotonous, generic electronic that feels a decade too late.

I don’t think any songs really stuck out other than the three I’ve heard hundreds of times but those three songs are enough to give the album a 4

8 minute songs are as bad as hour long albums. Hated this

I wish more bands went wild with musical concept albums while retaining their sound. Doesn’t make me want to watch the movie but was a fun listen.

Everything people think is bad about 90’s music is this album

Boob Dylan

Why did every song have to be so long? Why is this album on the list? Is this going to turn out to be some kind of joke where at the end we get a message laughing how we wasted years doing this? Needs more footwerk

Would have been a 3 if the production was better. I can’t comprehend the thought process of not boosting the vocals on a hip hop album .

Boring as hell.

Toys in the Attic was way better, this does not belong on any lists

It’s gotta be tough for a band when your biggest hit is a cover song, which begs the questions of why is this album on the list? I was also wondering the other day of who was ever influenced by Aerosmith, I think I found the answer.

I think I’m not a Bowie guy. RIP my fandom

It’s great to have an album on the list that I already listen to a few times a year. I’m counting this is as a ska album on the list

This is just too corny to be appreciated

This album is fine. It’s got its place in history but it’s like a lot of other influential albums - just not as good as what comes after.

There’s a couple stinkers and the skits are awful as usual but it’s still one of my favorites. I was going to give it a 4 but the R-rated LFO parrot in Marshall Mathers gets it to 5.

First song was good, everything else was pretty forgettable to bad

There better be another Queens of the Stone Age album on this list because this one sucked and I know there are good QOTSA songs

Interesting enough for me to not hate it, not good enough for me to like it

Much better solo offering than Ice Cube

I think when people say that the Beatles suck, they are talking about this album.

Jazz is too hard to review.

I liked the other Smiths album more

Better than the other Bowie slop we’ve gotten but I think I’m firmly not a Bowie guy

Feels like god is pranking me whenever we get some bullshit like this. There’s nothing on this album justifying it on this list nor it being on any list of any kind.

2 1/2. Didn’t totally hate it but I’ll never be excited to hear anything from it

Right about now The guns in my mouth

Did I finish this? Absolutely not. Did I hate what I did listen? Not entirely. Does this kind of trash belong on a list of albums that you should listen to before you die? Only if you’re looking to rush to that day

Pretty boring but that’s expected from Metallica

Not all seeds need to grow into flowers, not all things in caves need to see the sun

More instrumental like this please I now know why there’s a Count Basie theater in Red Bank

I’d never listened to a full Led Zeppelin album before. It’s not like it was bad but they are kind of in the same realm as Bowie or The Beatles to me, obviously talented and influential but I don’t care at all.

Too much funk for me, not enough fun

I liked the first half more than the second.

A real rock n roll album. My favorite part is the satanic song having very nice, melodic guitars
