Ok album. I can tell fleetwood mac members possibly a huge fan of him and there are lots of similarities with Dylan. I found his voice flat after a frw songs and not much innovative melodies. It was the 60s though..

Nice surprise! Nixk has an excellent guitar with captivating melodies and lyrics. Definitely will be an album I will be returning to many times

Oh my god. That is a great disappointment. I never listened to a whole Arcade Fire album and it is horrible. The melodies are too cluttered, most of the lyrics are shallow and simple, and the delivery of Butler on the vocals are tiring after a while trying to mimic Bowie.i dont see the hype, really.

Great timeless album, I would never have guessed it came out in 88. It is quality REM, although it gets a little bit repetitive towards the end. Still a great listen!

Great album. Dan auerbach shines in his vocals and guitar skills. It is amazing how two guys can make magic in their music. Very enjoyable album

It was quite enjoyable showgaze and glad to know this was one of the first bands of the genre. The album is too long in my opinion though, but the first half is really good. Great discovery, will be back to their catalogue soon.

I just love Fiona Apple, but from all her masterpiece albuns, Fetch The Bolt Cutters is not my cup of tea. I feel most of the gome production kinda sparce and not really fitted for her. Some songs like "Relay" and the title "Fetch the bolt cutters" rely so much on repetitive sentences and being such a word wizard as Fiona is, it is such a shame. I also know angeee is one of the main characteristics of Fiona's music and delivery but, honestly, it got tiring in this album. It is still a great listen but I feel a few songs really stand out: " I want you to love me", " Shameika", "rack of his", "cosmonauts". I really hope she writes more thoughtful and tiny happier songs eventually.

Kid Rock is not someone I would gratefully listen to but here it goes. It is not the worst thing I've listened to, I do enjoy the melodies and the rap/rock/country fusion. Some good melodies and guitar riffs there. However, the lyrics are, again, not something I would happy listen to, but he had a rappee persona and he just behaved as one. I can't believe he namedropped Matchbox 20 in one of the songs. It was fun to see some names like Eminem making part of it as well. I can see where the hate is coming from, but honestly, it is an ok album, I can see why it is groundbreaking, but I dont think I will return to it that soon

Fleet Foxes always deliver some masterpieces and their first album just show how brilliant their lush instrumentals alongside with the cosy atmosphere can delighttge listener. Although it is summer now, I felt transported to a winter cabin with a hot cocoa listening to this. Great lyrics and one of the best folk ever written.

Well ABBA is ABBA, it can never go wrong. Easy and flowing good pop with some of the best hits of the bands. Although, I really didn't get the title track.

Well, who needs murder mysteries podcasts when Nick Cave delivered this album? . The production and the singing of Nick are really good in setting the listener to murder stories. The first two songs are slaps in the face which are kinda soothed by the ballads with PJ Harvey and Kylie Minogue. I personally think OMalley Bar was too long and Death is not the End a very funny and ironic way ro end the album. Good album, but you really need to be in the mood and prepared to listen to it and rake all the gruesomeness. I wasn't.

So, Im not a massive rap fan. I like the atmosphere of the album and the film snippets on it, the flow and the background is pleasant but apart from that I dont know how to judge this album. So 3 stars

Another arrist I would willingly listen to. I managed the whole 1:11though. It wasnt the worst thing Ive listen but the scream and whisper do freak me out. I think the production is quite good, really good melodies that got me hamming ro it, but the whhole story and lyrics is not my thing. Too creepy.

Wow, that is a classic pop album! It is kinda 80's dated but it is good in a way because it shows well the production and the sound of the time. Most of the songs are pleasant and I love Cyndi Lauper's voice. Some of her classics also present. Definitely will revisit it

Never heard a full album of The Who. It was an OK experience but honestly expected moree. The production is Ok, some voxals are good and it is good on the background but ..meh

That was a good listen, but not my favourite Metallica album. There was too much repetition on guitar riffs, but it is undeniable the talent and the unique sound they developed.

It's weird that in UK Madness is a really famous band but anywhere else not people know them. Their blend on rock and ska with well driven piano and metal section is so envolving and catchy that it is really hard not to like. An easy 5 out of 5 album to me. Good melodies and clever lyrics as well

Well that was one of the most easy listening albuns I have ever listened to.Full of funk R&B and the amazing vocals of Michael Jackson, ans surely one of the albuns that influences loads of artists. I see so much of Justified by Justin TImberlake in here, what a copycat!great opening as well, really hard not to dance!

It was surprisingly nice for a rap album and I really enjoyed how they blend rock to rap so well. I really enjoyed the beat but sometimes the rap seemed repetitive. . It would be a 3.5 out of 5, but I am giving it a 4

I am not a grunge fan and I honestly never understood Nirvana hype. I understand why they are important, and I could tell good melodies and good live vocals in the songs...butthey are so boring. The overwhelming screaming, why??? Two satrd because the instrumental is not too bad, but I honestly think they are too overrated

I never understood why Muse had a big following but aftwr listening to this album I can understand why. They got a niche of metak and pop that somehow worked. The album was good, they hit the nail on some songs (mainly singles) but Matt Bellamy falsetos can be overwhelming at times and the guitars to repetitive I kinda feel it is a concept album but meh. The fact that itvwas a soundtrack for twilight doesn't help as well.

Never heard about this band before and it was an OK listen, as it was intrumental and great for background music, but Im not a massive fan of post rock. There are some good instrumental bits but most of it was forgettable. 2.5 but making it to a 3. Meh

So this is an ok album, auite good to have it on the background but mostly forgettable. While the production is good and pleasant most of the rracks sound the same and there is not much that Tracey can do with her performance to highlight the lyrics. . I will give 3 out of 5 but it shoukd be 2.5. And I dont understand why this album.is in this selection if there is another album of the band. Why is this in the list and huge pop changing albuns like Spice Girls Spice isn't???

Oh my god. That was such an easy listening and beautiful album. The piano and the instrumentation are lush and her voice and interpretation lead the listener all along. Crazy to think she was 21 at the time and it is so cool to see her evolution with her career. . I know this album is not in the official book and wth, it should be. It was so big at the time and I kinda miss the early 00s. . Easy 5 out of 5!

I've never dived into an Elton John album before! It's quite cool, John's voice and performance shines the lyrics and the instrumental is really captivating. "Tiny Dancer" is easily the strongest track, and overall it is a good setlist, but some songs are long. 4 out of 5

Well, I dont understand why this album is here when Otiginal Pirate Material is already in the list. I appreciate Mike Skinner is telling a story but, man, the execution sucks so bad. The way he raps, the half rhymes and most of the instrumental is so flat, boring and horrible to listen to that the narrative cannot be saved. . Not even the fact the song "Fit but you know it" is an inspiration for Arctic Monkeys song in their first album . . 1 out of 5

Never listened to Black Sabbath before but I'm aware this is a classic. The guitar solos are really good and the songs are OK. Although metal is not my cup of tea, I might give it a listen more times.

We are less than 30 albuns in and this is my secon Metallica album. And it is a compilation. I do understand the power and relevance of Mettalica and I must confess that the blend of metal and orchestra is not a bad idea. There are some interesting melodies clashing and it's a surprisingly good listen. However I wonder why the album is in the list if it is a compilation album. I honestly don't think I will have to listen to "Master of Puppets" twiceThe projectbis good but not worthy of enterisng thenlistbas I think it is designed to Metallica fans rather than the general public, and as I am not very familiar with Mettalica discography it's like meh but ok... . It is a 3, I would like to rank it as a 1 as I feel it does not belong in the list. 1999 had so many good albuns as well

What a great surprise! This is a really good album, I love the groove and the energy even with the falsetos. Definitely will be listening to more Curtis' music! 4 out of 5 stars!

I ws looking forward to listening to Blondie, but oh boy, I think I was expecting way more from them. . The album is ok, but the lyrics are too simple and the instrumental is ok. Apart from the singles ("One way or another" is quite poor in lyrics), the songs donshine much and the album overall is meh.

I honestly never understood the hype on Brach House, but I also never listened to this album. I mean, it is an Ok album, quite cohesive and the minimal dreampop instrumental is spot on, and good to have on the background, however, the singing of the vocalist is so 2010 coded it brings me backt to that time that I felt all the songs were sung the same way. . I understand why the album was considered good, bit it is not good enough for my personal list. 3/5

Now I know where the aithors of Lost Boys drew inspiration from. I appreciate the idea that this album is coming from, rockabilly, surf music and punk with teenagers as vampires bit, oh boy, same riffs and the singing gets so boring. I mean itvis an ok album but it is kinda cringe. 3/5

Wow that is a great discovery. I just love that the songs are short and straightforward covering lots of diverse sounds within punk. It feels atemporal as well. Might listen to this album some more.

I was aware of Television but never heard a song from them until now. The album is ok, I can see why a lot of people drew inspiration from them. The first half is good, especially "Marquee Moon", but some of the songs, especially the last one, "Torn Curtain" dragged. . I think after 5 70s albuns in a row I might need a different decade. . Fistt half was 4, overall 3 out of 5

Oh my god, what an album! So easy listening with smooth funk soul melodies and Stevie's silk voice and harmonies. There are no bad tracks on it, all pure gold. I listened to this album at breakfast and my 2.5 daughter was jamming listening to "Higher Ground." I had to repeat it 3 times and all of them were amazing, it is nice to see her dancing to the song. Cant wait to listen to more of Stevie Wonder, definitely one of the singers that deserve more attention on my part. An easy 5/5

Ok. I was born in the 80's so this band is brand new name for me, although I do remember "Relax (Don't do it), might have hearrd in a TV show or something. The album is eclectic but not in a good way, it does bring all the cheesy sounds of the 80's, that electronic sound with rock and pop that is especific of that time, again not in a good way. Apart from that the album is bloated. It looks like a 1 hit wonder entered this list, and once again I ask myself if this is really an album to listen before I die. . . If it is 1 hit wonder, I prefer the New Radicals.

We are 30 + albuns in and this is my very first beatle/ beatles related album. I'm going to be honest and John is not my favourite beatle, but as being the first album after the band, this is really not too bad, on the opposite it's amazing. I really dont know if most of the songs are in a compilation my dad had when I was a kid and most songs are familiar, but I really loved the piano driven instrumental and lots of jazz references. I didnt pay too much attention to the lyrics I confess, I know it would trigger me, but yep quite decent album and made my morning lovely 5/5

I've never listened to a whole Stones album but happy to start with the first. It didnt take long to realise it was a cover album (first song actually), and although they do a terrific job , I wonder why it is even on this list. . Their only Jagger/Richards song stands in poor quality comparing to the others. . I enjoyes the album, will give it a 3, but shoukd it really be in here???
