Home Is Where The Music Is

I dig the early sound that Oasis had, that ran counter to the more popular grunge in the 90s.
Sick 80s sound. 10/10 would shoot down Soviet helicopters over Afghanistan to this music.
If this was all the music British people had to work with then it’s no wonder they invaded so many countries.
2/10 needs Problem Child.

It’s okay. I liked the mellow vibe of the album. It got better towards the end, after Sultans of Swing.
I heard bits of Single Ladies and a couple other songs, but I've never actually given Beyoncé a chance and listened to her stuff. Not sure where this sits in her discography, but it was pretty good.
Played it three times in a row. Great driving and lounging music.
I enjoyed none of this weird British man talking at me to bad lounge music.
Listened to the standard edition twice on my commute today. Now I'm listening to the Legacy Edition that's got another hour of recordings from the San Quentin session. Love Johnny Cash.
I liked the sound, but it wasn't really memorable. There's better 90s bands.
I breezed through that album without realizing what songs were which. It all sounds the same.
Good background music but not much more going for it
Love this album. Early punk had such a nasty raw sound that you’d expect to hear at the dive bars they played. And there has to be someone picking these albums, with how topical it is.
It’s not Joshua Tree, but it’s okay.
I should've been into this, but his voice is so droning that it felt like he was rambling one big long-ass weed puff rant.
Loved this album. A good example of how diverse Afrobeat is with parts of different genres the African diaspora has influenced. Only think I didn't like was how short album was.
third album so far of a white guy talking over a guitar. If I have to hear it again, I'd prefer it be Johnny Cash.
One of the first “modern” rock albums I got to listen to as a kid.
It sounds like glam rock before glam rock knew what to sound like. Still feels too 60s.
Lyrics were okay, but I really liked the experimental beat and instrumentals. Reminded me of the rap they’d play on early [adult swim] like MF Doom.
Loved it. Another saved album.
Another saved album. 10/10
It was okay. Most of the songs sounded like the same 4-second loop of a Cranberries song on slow-mo.
I was more distracted by the Frenchman whispering sexily at me during my morning commute, than anything...
Hell of an album to listen to on America's birthday.
I really liked the variety in this album.
I hadn't actually heard anything else a-ha did, besides Take On Me. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the whole album. I liked every song.
Didn't realize that "Dance Till You're Dead" beat came from this album. I prefer this version over the dance remixes.
I've got soul but I'm not a soldier.
I get that this was supposed to be objectively good, but I didn’t enjoy a second of this.
I was listening to this and my dad overheard and talked to me about how he heard this album in the Marines, when one of the black dudes in his Recon platoon introduced him to Soul music. This music goes steady enough to let you ponder the lyrics while enjoying the rhythm.
Never gave Adele a chance, and was pleased with what I heard. Every other song saved.
More Morrissey, please!
Girl punk fucks.
Never heard anything by Radiohead besides Creep. They’re good, but not amazing, if this album is anything to go by.
Liked the tracks everyone else knows, but I forgot how rapey some of their other tracks were…
In Utero is fine, but I always liked Nevermind better.
Never heard of these guys before. I like them.
One thing I've loved so far has been going back to albums I grew up on and having a newer appreciation for, as I've gotten older.
All the buildup of a mediocre 80s band, just to lead up to the one song everyone knows from that one commercial on TV or movie trailer or whatever...
Great for lounging poolside to.
Not my favorite Bowie stuff, but the sound was interesting.
I forgot how good this album was. The movie was okay.
Every song saved. This dude was belting out lyrics that had no right being as amazing as they were. RIP to the Godfather of Metal.
Can't listen to the Eagles without thinking about that Country Bears movie lol.
The tracks where Jimi just gets to do Jimi are amazing. The ones with his backup band trying to do Monkee shit are garbo
Fuck yeah.
Every live album at Budokan I’ve heard sounds like a great time.
They'd be better if they had a bass player
Loved the first track. It follows an Aksak rhythm, which is something that was big in the Ottoman Empire. Hearing the sequence in a jazz track was cool.
I was waiting for Marky Mark to start rapping, and never got it. 0/10
Def sounded like a synth album
That was definitely a Bob Dylan album.
This sounds like Aerosmith got into rock 20 years too late. Sabbath and Zeppelin were already around, but they still sound like a cover band going down the list of a Johnny Rockets jukebox.
Awesome, from start to finish. Awesome composition, awesome lyrical storytelling, awesome vibes. Had to listen twice.
Not their strongest stuff but still some solid tracks
I only heard these guys before in Guy Ritchie movies. This album was a lot more mellow than that stuff. I dug the R&B rap vibes
had to find the album on YouTube. I liked the diversity. A little bit of indie, country, and soft rock. Surprising to hear from the 80s.
Listened to this trash and then washed my ears out with The College Dropout. This list has two Kanye albums, and neither are College Dropout or Graduation. That’s some bullshit.
21st Century Schizoid Man was great. In the Court of the Crimson King was good. Everything else sounded like they were just rehearsing and tuning and forgot the recorder was on.
I didn't hate it, but I don't think I particularly liked it, either. No idea why this is on the list.
I know it's popular to shit on the Beatles, but I still like their stuff. Not so much because I like their music over other bands of the 60s, but more from an objective technical point. Sgt. Pepper isn't quite rock or pop, like the rest of their previous albums. There's a lot of sound engineering and effects in this album that had never been practiced or attempted in music before. It raised the bar for what people could expect from a music album.
I like Zappa's unhinged stuff, but I was pleasantly surprised by this instrumental work.
Loved the beats in this album. I didn't realize how much influence LL Cool J had, because I know I heard these beats in other rap albums that came out years after. Definitely heard the same vibes from Jurassic 5's Quality Control.
Her stuff was okay. The album was hard to find, and it wasn’t even one of her best albums. Not sure how some stuff makes this list.
Any excuse to listen to this album again. Love Fleetwood Mac.
I have a better appreciation for hip-hop as protest music. It makes you think, and it vibes like FUCK. 10/10.
Like a lady Bob Dylan, but the lyrics had a little more cohesion.
Sat through waiting for pinball wizard, then sat through the rest of the original. I was not going to sit through the rest of the 2+ hours of bonus content in the platinum edition
totally snoozed through this one. Never even knew the Dandy Warhol’s were a thing, and I still wish I didn’t.
I guess this is the album all of his good stuff was on. I liked most of it.
Sounds like the shit you’d hear at a really boring German orgy in the 1980s.
