Bob Marley & The Wailers · 1 likes
3/5
Threw this album on, listened to the first two tracks then the rest just kind of blurred into the background. I guess that's the problem with reggae, even a really great album just sounds meh. A very generous 3 stars here
Beck · 1 likes
4/5
Good album, a good amount of recognizable and catchy songs, but with all Beck there's just something missing. Maybe it's overproduced, maybe it's the lack of passion, it's just too steady eddy. Nothing really moving enough to make me want to keep it in the regular rotation.

Timeless? More like too much time, am I right? At an 1:53 this is about 1:45 more drum and bass than anyone could ever really need. I see 14 songs listed in the track listing, I have to believe it cause it just sounded like an endless drone. Every song sounds the same, boring as shit.
Steely Dan · 1 likes
4/5
This appears frequently in "best of" lists due to its high quality production. I've definitely listened before and didn't think much of it, but this time much more impressed. Definietely one of those albums that can be appreciated more with active listening

What a trash album. Every song was boring and went on for like 6 minutes.
AC/DC
3/5
Def a couple bangers on here with you shook me and back in black, but overall just sounds generic. Dude can shred a guitar but missed the part about how to write moving songs, drum and bass add next to nothing, vocals are at least unique if completely lacking any range

3/5
I really wanted to hate this album, but I listened a couple of time and didn’t? Can’t say I liked it tho
Beatles
5/5
An album full of memorable tracks, easy listening, delightful melodies and harmonies, with great composition. The differences in songwriting between John, Paul, Ringo, and Harrison are on full display. The Beatles are in a class of their own, this isn’t the best Beatles album but still an easy 5/5
Sheryl Crow

Thelonious Monk

Our second pure jazz album, first was Mingus. At least Mingus stirred some emotion, this didn’t really do anything.
The The
1/5
Utterly unremarkable. Listened to it twice and both times it didn’t catch my attention once. No context cred either Cody.

Joni Mitchell
5/5
It's simple, either you recognize the greatness in this album, or you're retarded. A friend called Joni Mitchell a budget Sarah McLaughlan. He's retarded. 50 years later we're still listing to this album for a reason. Sarah McLaughlan, on the other hand, can't be forgotten quick enough.
Van Halen
3/5
Hot for teacher might be the best 80s song. Jump might be the worst. Yin and yang bitches
Kanye West
4/5
Too bad some people will instantly disregard cause the artist or the genre. Long before he was whack job he was a seriously talented artist. First half of this album is a 5 then is trails off near the end. Will revisit for shre

Steve Earle

Nick Drake
3/5
Bit torn on this. It’s clearly a well written beautiful sounding album, but definitely requires active listening or it just fades into the background. Could be a 4 but because it didn’t grab my attention it’s getting a 3
Metallica
4/5
Good, not as epic as my childhood self remembers tho
Iron Maiden
3/5
Not that it was bad, just nothing caught my attention. It definitely sounds of an era
Public Image Ltd.

The Band
4/5
Grateful Dead
1/5
Really wanted to like this, but it was like nails on a chalkboard. A 23 minute opening song that takes forever to built then goes nowhere, another track that’s literally just called feedback is a 7 minute slog of guitar feedback. None of the musicians seemed very good or like they were even listening to each other. Painful
Anthrax
3/5
It’s good, this genre just suffers cause at that pace all the songs just end up sounding the same, glad I heard it but if I want thrash I’m turning to Rust in peace by Megadeath
U2

4/5
The Velvet Underground
3/5
I don’t know, I get there’s something there, but having a hard time finding it in just one day. this album really feels like something I’ve heard before but I can’t place where. Will file this one away and relisten on a dud album day
Sonic Youth
2/5
Infinitely better than the other Sonic Youth album we've already had, E.V.O.L., but that really doesn't say much. Pretty unremarkable and had to skip through a couple songs as they were unlistenable.
The Pogues

Some interesting stuff, but trying too hard to be edgy

Interesting enough, might revisit a song or two from this album, but largely indistinguishable from other records of the era.
Dusty Springfield
3/5
Christine and the Queens
2/5
Not sure what’s important or memorable about it to deserve inclusion on the list
Butthole Surfers
2/5
About 30 mins, 15 of it is just “avant garde noise rock.” I imagine this album is a big deal because it’s “different” but as a stand alone piece of art it kinda sucks
Beatles
5/5
Nice getting these actual great albums sprinkled into this list. Been quite a week of 1-2 star albums
Weather Report
4/5
Pretty approachable for a jazz album
Pink Floyd
2/5
The weird to focused ratio too far off
Doves

Not terrible but also fairly unremarkable
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
4/5
Sexy cool
Pere Ubu
1/5
Unfortunately these “you had to be there” albums don’t translate very well if you weren’t there. I’m sure they were making a statement that was “avant-garde” at the time, but it’s a poor musical effort bordering on unlistenable
Marvin Gaye

Pixies

1 star for the fight club song, 2 for boobies

Gang Starr

The xx

Is it just me or does every song sound the same? Lazy singing, lazy guitar work, the rhythm section actually seems to want to go somewhere but can’t. Very yawn inducing

The Pharcyde
3/5
Yea I mean pretty good, not sure there was much memorable on here. The skits were nice and jazzy, the rest was just a bit too goofy.
Big Black
1/5
Can we just be honest when there's a bad album. This is objectively bad music. It might've been making a statement 40 years, but who cares when the music is so bad. No thanks
Tracy Chapman
3/5
David Bowie
3/5
Starting to think Bowie might be overrated. Fame is a banger, young Americans is pretty good, most the other songs are mid to boring, then the across the universe cover is pure trash
Orange Juice
3/5
Dr. John
2/5
Just unremarkable
Massive Attack
2/5
The Kinks
3/5
I know half dozen kinks songs, none of them on this album. Seemed a little goofy maybe, or like a budget Beatles. Pretty mid
The Sugarcubes
3/5
So this is bjork apparently. Didn't really realize until I was almost through the album, so had to do a relisten. Not that I like Bjork or know anything about her other than she was a diva at some point.
Track 1 starting with 20 seconds of silence, like why? So I crank the volume trying to hear something then it blasts me away once it finally starts? Definitely diva behavior Bjork, I don't appreciate that.
Gene Clark
4/5
First listen through I though the album was pleasant, but found myself wanting to return to it a few days later when there was a dull album. A solid 4
Supertramp
3/5
Bloody well right and Dreamers are bangers. The rest is very forgettable innit it
Queen

Boring queen
Moby Grape

Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
It was a good listen, great storyteller
5/5
If someone says they’re a Beatles fan then lists this as their favorite album… well… they’re more of a Beatles tourist than an a fan. Interesting concept, some interesting songs, but not heir best work. Still a less than great Beatles album is always a 5 in my books
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
3/5
Kinda meh
King Crimson
3/5
Wasn't thinking very much of this until I read one of the reviews saying it's a headphone listen. It is. So many more layers and complexity to it. Still, a bit too much of the self-indulgent crap that prog rock is always guilty of, ie) two minute long meandering intros to 10 min long songs. TIghten it up King Crimson!
Joan Armatrading
4/5
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Sepultura
2/5
I enjoy the occasional metal like megadeath or Metallica, but this just kinda sucks. Guitar seems a bit amateurish, drum is just double bass to death, and every song just sounds the same. Could not listen through full album.
Nas
3/5
Beck
4/5
Good album, a good amount of recognizable and catchy songs, but with all Beck there's just something missing. Maybe it's overproduced, maybe it's the lack of passion, it's just too steady eddy. Nothing really moving enough to make me want to keep it in the regular rotation.
Elvis Costello
3/5
Metallica
5/5
Writing this review after only 7 songs but whatever, it's a banger, happy to give this a 5. Love that they took their classic songs, added full orchestration, then performed it live. At 2 hours a bit long in the tooth for a one day listen but that's my only complaint
Blur
3/5
Some quirky songs
Goldie
1/5
Timeless? More like too much time, am I right? At an 1:53 this is about 1:45 more drum and bass than anyone could ever really need. I see 14 songs listed in the track listing, I have to believe it cause it just sounded like an endless drone. Every song sounds the same, boring as shit.

David Bowie
4/5
Living Colour
3/5
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
1/5
I listened to this full album, just so I could post a sincere 1 rating. This type of music enrages me as it inevitably leads to wankers declaring it a masterpiece, avant-garde, a piece of art, etc. You need to really listen to it a few times to appreciate the musicianship, they say. No you don't, I say. This is crappy music. This is complicated for the sake of being complicated, it strips all the fun out of music leaving a barely functional purely technical pile of slop. "Oh wow polyrhythms and polytonality, these musicians are so great" no they aren't, fuck off, it sounds like shit and just because you heard someone call this experimental and you want to attach yourself to it because you think it makes you seem complex is bullshit.
Fatboy Slim

nope, must've been a "you had to be there" album

Moderate rap fan, but if I had to take one rap album with me to a deserted island, this would probably be it, close call with vintage Kanye

Great album, eminem's skill is undeniable but the lyrics are just a bit too cringe. He really leaned into the offsensive for the sake of being offensive and it takes the shine off what's otherwise a 5/5 album.
OutKast

Stevie Wonder

A little forgettable, saved by the smasher Superstition and to a lesser extent Sunshine of my life. If you're a fan of Jack White check out his cover of the latter
Hüsker Dü
2/5
Hearing all kinds of 90's bands here when I listen to this. A little Greenday, one song reminder me of the friends theme song, etc., Unfortunately the songs are pretty boring, no noticable hooks, melodies, rhythms, and every song just kinda blends into the next. Pretty boring overall.

Some good tracks on here but a bit overindulgent at 27 songs and 1 hour 55 min runtime. Probably could've put together a really solid 45 min album instead of this meandering mess

5/5 minus 1 for general corniness

Would like to know who actually thinks this is one of the greatest live albums of all time? Do people actually believe that, or did some reviewer at some point suggest that and now we take it as fact?
Rush

A bit hard to get into, lyrics are corny as shit "we are the guardians of the temple or Syrinx"? Sure you are buddy.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
First couple tracks started out strong, completely lost me track 3-9 before American Girl with the solid finish.
Harry Nilsson
4/5
The Stone Roses
3/5
Pretty non descript British rock. Gloomy, dark, sometimes good, often bleak and depressing. Most songs sound the same.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
5/5
Liked this one I lot more than I ought to have
Bruce Springsteen
1/5
10 tracks of 3 chord do-nothing songs. No rhythm, no grooves, no melody, no harmony. Didn't really listen to the lyrics cause, well, it's Springsteen. Pretentious dipwit. Famously from New Jersey, takes us on a tour to where? Nebraska? Bruce, you are not bob dylan. Fuck you
Janelle Monáe
4/5
Groovy
Barry Adamson
4/5
A soundtrack made for a movie that was never made? Exactly the type of pretentious crap I live to hate, but alas this puppy slaps. 4 slaps outta 5
Isaac Hayes
3/5
Some funky shit
Neil Young
2/5
Neil young is proof you don’t need to be able to sing or play guitar to be a successful singing guitarist
The Stooges
2/5
Kinda meh, but not as bad as I was expecting
The Bees
3/5
Not terrible, but also unremarkable
Beatles
5/5
Not sure it would be possible to rate a Beatles album less than a 5. Will never know
Bob Marley & The Wailers
5/5

Neither a 1 nor a 4, a little boring though

Frank Ocean

The Coral
4/5
fun on a bun
Green Day
2/5
I wanted to give this a 1 based solely on Billy Armstrongs Haircut. Also wanted to give it a 1 as it comes off as pretentious drivel, a punk opera with an 8 minute song? Go fuck yourself. Also wanted to give it a 1 because the power chords, learn music you dick fucker. But alas, there are some hits, even if they've been so overplayed I would be happy enough to never hear them again.
Fatboy Slim
3/5
Buck Owens
3/5
Bob Dylan
2/5
Sorry this sucks, Dr Seuss level rhyming every song with the same Dylan bob at the end of every sentence, annoying.
The Who
2/5
These 20/25/30/etc reissue albums aren’t doing these 1001 albums any favors. This album was originally 35 minutes long but is now over 2 hours with all the special releases. Like they only thought 6 songs were good enough to release in 1970, but then some idiot convinced them to rerelease with 100 tracks, 90 of them just a sonic assault on your senses. Boo
Keith Jarrett
2/5
The Incredible String Band

Some good classics on here, could've done without the excessive swearing but I guess I'm just old and out of touch

Some of these songs are out there, good on her for being creative but not really my cup of tea
