1001 Albums Summary

Good intro to dolly parton, a bit too country old school for me but good background music 5/10

nice easy listening, highlights: cecilia and el condor pasa. 6/10

90s massive beats, classic album with nostalgia, solid 8/10

A bit too depressing but is a widely well regarded album and a pioneer in the indie rock space, 6/10

Pretty cool mix of sounds, funk, classic, hip-hop 7/10

Not my style, a bit too boring and overrated 3/10

One of the best rap albums out there, Eminem is so good, 9/10, a lot of nostalgia with this one

a bit too downbeat but not bad 5/10

absolutely terrible album, it may have been a trailblazer in the punk space but what a horrendous listen, 0/10

Funk, good beats 7/10

Much more like it, 8/10, some good 80s pop rock

too hippy for me, 4/10

pioneering synth, some epic tunes which have been remastered into other songs 7/10

too 60s for me, moving into more 70s rock but still too country/60s, 4/10

boring generic soft rock 3/10

nothing to write home about, 5/10

very good, 7/10, pretty chilled but lovefelt album

5/10, not bad, some good songs, not as heavy as I thought it would be which is a good thing

overrated, 4/10, I get that it was a pioneering moment but not my jam

good indie rock 6/10

it's ok, a bit generic 70s/80s slow rock, typical fleetwood mac 6/10

10/10, pure nostalgia, such incredible songs such as Babylon, please forgive me, sail away, say hello wave goodbye etc etc. Late 90s at the peak of British culture, such an influential album in my teenage years. Also very well produced and a must on an audiophile's playlist.

2/10 - a middle class hotel lobby which is acting more expensive than it is

6/10 - a couple of big songs, I've seen them live a couple of times but I don't know... are they slightly overrated?

2/10 - a country crossover with Elvis, bad

2/10 - understand they are pioneers but damn I hate punk

5/10 - not bad, thought it would be harder but I like the long riffs mixed with the orchestra

5/10 - nice relaxing pop rock from the 60s, I shall be released a particular highlight

8/10 great first album, good lyrics mixed with funk/jazz/pop

2/10 note I listened to the demos version as the original wasn't available on spotify or youtube music. Did not enjoy, all the songs are the same and just meld into one sameyness. Very boring and didn't find the artist's voice anything special

7/10 - I like it, very Led Zeppelinesque, the recording on the alst track can be improved when messing around with Stereo, it's like they got carried away with the new tech and just started messing around with it

4/10 - he's a lyrical genius but the music is just boring

5/10 - pretty decent, not hardcore punk, some good rock songs

6/10 - not bad, good lyrics, but gets a bit samesy

4/10 very generic early rock, can see kings of leon being influenced by ZZ Top but nothing to write home about

3/10 album is 10 songs too long, really stretching recording on a CD, it's good for 3/4 songs and then it drags with the same britpop style, second disc is arguably better with its variety

4/10 - nice easy going music, not offensive or exceptional either

6/10 - approachable rock, not too hard but some good riffs, didnt realise "you really got me" is from Van Halen

6/10 - nice easy listening, classic belle & sebastian vocals and sounds

3/10 - nothing memorable, not quite hardcore punk but no rock song stands out

8/10 - very refreshing! latin, afro, hipo hop beats, very surprised this is from the 80s!

6/10 - a nice change of pace, pop/folky, would never had thought that it's the Simon in Simon & Garfunkel, but the recording is poor and cheap unfortunately

5/10 - not a very modern album, I've heard it before, but not bad either

2/10- as I said to my wife, this is massive attack from temu, obsessed with India's nuclear programme and some ok vocals although the English singing is so generic from its period

6/10 - some memorable songs, also a lot of nostalgia for my wife so it was a great conversation around this album, put a smile on my face

6/10 - nice soft blues rock, good instrumentals and easy listening

7/10 - Good jazz, some notes african music in there too, all in all, very pleasant music

5/10 - ok, hotel music, inoffensive

7/10 - great funk music, nice to have playing in the background

7/10 - I'm quietly impressed by Paul Simon, my second album I've listened of his and I like his experimental approach with rock and pop

3/10 - boring whiny indie rock

7/10 - very good britpop, song 2 being the obvious highlight

6/10 - country mixed with indie rock, good vocals, and some catchy tunes. But too long of an album

6/10 - chilled RnB, but no real standout

6/10 - traditional flaming lips sound, good for having in the background if you dont want hard rock

8/10 - terrible human but great album

4/10 - ska just isn't for me

8/10 - classic 90s hiphop, Lauryn Hill is a gem, some big tunes on this: killing me softly, fugeela, ready or not

8/10 - amazing African Jazz, I can see how this genre influenced salsa so much, not only is the music good but the vocals are filled with passion

5/10 - typical mid 90s american indie rock, ok but 15 tracks too long, issue with bands realising CDs can be rammed with music

5/10 - ok but waaaay too long, some decent songs but it draaags at times

5/10 - disappointed because I expected more, the initial song is a classic but then it is a bit boring, there are no other standout songs

6/10 - classic album, just gets to a point where it begins to sound the same to me

5/10 - it's alright, a Beatles like sound but more american

4/10 - a bit meh, pleasant in the background but nothing to write home about

4/10 - I don't know, just seems overrated, one song had over a billion listens! but nothing special at all, just ok

7/10 - very 90s hiphop with good ol 2Pac, some lyrical genius in the songs, I enjoyed it

6/10 - I didn't realise the main singer is a lady, what a voice! And I actually have this album... highlight is "Fistful of Love", amazing track

5/10 - the soundscapes are good but there isn't really one stand out track

8/10 - this would be a complete album with only time to pretend, kids and electric feel

8/10 - an amazing album, everyone will know at least one song on this album, Hounds of Love is a particular fave

7/10 - Bossa nova, great change up, very relaxing

5/10 - it's alright, a bit too low key romantic disco, I wish it went full on proper disco instead

2/10 - very boring, can't remember one song

2/10 - too hippy for me, I think this style of music is just not for me

6/10 - nice blues rock, not what I thought the rolling stones was. But it is a few songs too long

4/10 - not unpleasant, a bit boring though but very west coast sound

4/10 - folksy relaxing pop rock, ok but nothing notable

6/10 - some great funny lyrics on this, with "if..." With his lover as a horse he would be happy to clean the crap out of the stable, gave me and the wife a chuckle

5/10 - some good initial songs and then it starts to draw itself out and becomes whiny

4/10 - nothing memorable, just ok, but not hardcore punk as I expected

8/10 - now this is a good album, a distinct signature, good rhythms, some very good songs

8/10 - great album, had the lyrics, rhythms and Billy has a great voice

6/10 - very beatlesey which isnt a surprise, if you like that sound you will like this

8/10 - awesome rock hip hop

4/10 - very meh but inoffensive

2/10 -boooooring, literally what you would imagine a generic piano singer in a hotel lobby

6/10 - 80s electronic pop, particular fave is Jennifer

8/10 this was cool, a surprising album and criminal it doesn't have more listens and a higher rating whereas the next generic rock album on the list has 3.5+

6/10 - a very distinct sound, Lorelei is a an amazing tune

10/10 - it's Nevermind by Nirvana,

6/10 - some good 90s country pop

2/10 - boring honky tonk music, every song the same as the others, honestly never understood the hype or obsession with Elvis

6/10 - I'm a big fan of Johnny Cash but this came across as very depressing, Hurt is a great song though

4/10 - to be honest, don't remember anything from this album but inoffensive

7/10 - reggae to change things up, isn't the best I've heard but still good

10/10 - what an album, signature prodigy electronic sound with rave elements. so many good songs on this. Criminal that this has an average rating of 3... too many boomers here

6/10 - I mean it's nice but apart from Fast Cars, there is nothing really notable

5/10 - nice easy listening, you know what you're getting with Joni Mitchell

3/10 - I mean it's ok, long depressing riffs but it drags, it also put my wife in a bad mood so there's that

8/10 - very strong album, I remember listening to this when it came out and trying to get my school friends to listen but no one was interested. But it's a welcome change from the rock/indie/alternative scene from when it came out. Has to be appreciated on a good sound system. Fave highlight is "Ego Tripping at the gates of hell"

5/10 - better than his Gold album but isn't special enough to get over the artist's shortcomings as a person

4/10 - it's alright, reminds me of typical 60/70s hippy guitar band, heard his name but first time listening to him, always thought he was a caricature of the era

8/10 - maybe too many skits but a snapshot of a better rap/hip hop scene, Eminem is a lyrical genius

2/10 - this is a generic 60s album

6/10 - I can imagine this being perfect ironing music for folk who grew up in the times

2/10 - I get it, but it's not good, I can just imagine a bunch of stoners in the 70s listening to this

4/10 - it's alright, all the songs end up blending into one same sound

8/10 - great first album from Fatboy Slim, I'm gonna be honest and say I've never heard any of these songs before but I'm all for it

10/10 - some absolute university bangers on here, also perfect length of an album, nothing exaggerated

6/10 - relaxing jazz pop rock

8/10 - solid live album, watched the live performance as well as listened, great seeing a young Dave Grohl and Kurt Cobain, and the whole group interacting with the crowd

6/10 - electronic music for background activities, would also be a good gaming soundtrack

5/10 - I thought it would be a bit more experimental but I can't really recall much, the first song is interesting but the album is kind of meh

7/10 - Classic David Bowie

4/10 - another typical 60s album, nothing to write home about, the short skits in between some of the songs are interesting though

7/10 - some good African music, lovely to have on in the house

6/10 - good bongos, some epic riffs, but a bit too long

7/10 - pretty cool jazz

7/10 - strong indie music

6/10 - I can see it being big during its day but nothing really stands out, good background music

6/10 - a very Talking Heads sound, pioneers of the franz ferdinand/scissor sisters type sound

6/10 - decent album but too long, good to hear more electronic/dance music

7/10 - obviously Hallelujah is the big one but dare I say this is better than his Dad's album; also bonus points for being a fan of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

5/10 - I mean it's alright, it's more about the lyrics rather than the music itself

8/10 - amazing relaxed French electro synth, some classics on this

2/10 - boring and unforgettable

7/10 - Some crackers on this album but the sound kind of drags towards the end. The first 3 songs are amazing though, end of High School memories

6/10 - typical Rolling Stones sound

6/10 - its good but drags towards the end, usually happens with a live album as a concert is as long as it wants to be

6/10 - jazz and blues, nice

7/10 - this is pretty cool, a variety of songs, definitely will be listening to this again

6/10 - probably the best Beatles album I've heard to date, still overrated if you ask me but I can see the appeal if you grew up to this

1/10 - wow this is bad, religious ramblings for bible belt listeners. Should not be anywhere near this list

8/10 - really enjoyed this, more so than Moondance

9/10 - stunning album, profound lyrics and vocals, adding that signature arcade fire harmonic sound, brilliant.

5/10 - not really my jam but I get it

4/10 - more noise than quality

4/10 - hmm disappointing, when I saw Brian Eno pop up I got excited but this is such a non-Brian Eno album... but have to give credit to him for evolving

7/10 - my first full Elton John album, now I get it

4/10 - not as generic as other 60s/70s albums, but still generic

8/10 - very good hip hop album, I should've given Lupe Fiasco a closer look in the past, his lyrics are much deeper than on the surface

5/10 - it's the typical red hot chili peppers sound, always about knowing something... californication is the highlight obviously but way too long, could have been 12 songs instead of 18, their sound becomes grating after a while

7/10 - some solid grime here, need more of this

6/10 - it's alright,. still an overrated band for me I didn't grow up with them

8/10 - good trip hip pop electronica, Dirge is class

5/10 - it all melds into one track

2/10 - another generic 60s/70s album which has somehow made the list

8/10 - what a good 80s album, quintessential of the period

6/10 - sounds much more modern than 1983. quietly impressed but they start off with their best song which is hard to beat further into the album

4/10 - kicks off with its best song and really downhill from there

4/10 - A bit meh, not really different from her other albums, not sure we need so many Joni Mitchell albums on this list

6/10 - pleasantly surprised, great to have in the background

6/10 - good 80s UK pop rock

5/10 - kind of typical American rock from the 90s, can't say I'm enamoured

6/10 - I love salsa and Tito is known for oye cómo va (which isn't on this), it's ok but more of an innovation of it's time rather than something you'd hear when you go dancing

5/10 - waaaaay too long of an album, kind of just melds into one song after another; luckily I didn't listen to the extended version, 3+hrs!

3/10 - cant remember one song from this album, pretty boring to be honest

8/10 - solid album, great sound and some bangers

6/10 - It's Ray Charles, nice to have on in the background

4/10 - a bit disappointed, I expected more but this may just have been her earlier album

6/10 - nice chilled album but can become slightly grating towards the end

5/10 - interesting album, a very trippy and psychedelic album

5/10 - a bit generic rock

6/10 - honestly not bad, my 23m ill son feel asleep to this happily so gets a small bump

4/10 - a gravelly blues soundtrack, not my jazz but I'm sure others will like it

7/10 - good 80s synthpoprock

6/10 - good R&B soul, overkill with 4 different iterations of summer breeze and also the interview tracks at the end though

6/10 - very frank sinatraish sound, not bad

7/10 - Good Jazz

4/10 - it's ok, nothing to write home about, only know the second song because of the office which is the highlight

8/10 - I really liked this, soft indie synth pop

8/10 - jazz, short and sweet

2/10 - real hillbilly stuff here, a stretch to be on this list

6/10 - not bad, not particularly memorable but good to have playing on the radio

6/10 - signature Depeche mode sound

8/10 - very good album, not overrated and deservedly on this list

6/10 - took me by surprise, could have been released in the last 20yrs but from the 60s

3/10 - honestly overrated, could be another generic 70s album

10/10 - putting aside kanye's controversial side, an incredible album, maybe one too many slots but so many good songs

2/10 - waaaaay too heavy metal, like death metal, not for me

5/10 - better than his other album, a bit more upbeat

6/10 - Thought this would be hardcore punk but a pleasant surprise

4/10 - just super soft lyrically driven songs but no real tune grabs you

5/10 - typical early 80s rock

8/10 - very cool blues album, bangin

10/10 - incredible album, babe I'm gonna leave you a particular highlight

4/10 - damn this is whiny, this guy takes whinging to a new level

4/10 - late 80s transition into indierock from a punk sound, not my thing

5/10 - not objectively bad but can't remember any song, he is a good lyricist though

5/10 - honestly I think I just don't get Radiohead, another album I found meh

2/10 - yaaaaawwwwnnn

8/10 - it's Frank Sinatra, really nice to have in the background

5/10 - too 60s but some good songs

8/10 - great debut album, strong indie rock urban beats

8/10 - surprisingly not as hard rock as I thought it would be, pretty progressive, much better than red hot chilli peppers or the likes

3/10 - Punk rock, not my thing

5/10 - the distinctive rolling stones sound, it's alright

7/10 - now this is what we need more of, a bit long but amazing to have a coffee Sunday morning to

4/10 - similar to Metallica but not as good

10/10 - now this is how you mix rock and political lyrics

8/10 - Low on lyrics but high on quality, really liked this

3/10 - hmm, I think Bjork's high toned vocals are pretty overdone

4/10 - not groundbreaking but harmless

10/10 - a perfect, classic Reggae album. 99% of people will know at least one song from this album

10/10 - what an album, to have the courage to record in Folsom prison and with bangin lyrics, the bassist is so good on this. Shout out to Joaquin Phoenix for nailing the voice in walk the line too

8/10 - when I saw it was another 50s album, I thought it would be more hillbilly bible belt music but what a pleasant surprise, great jazz

6/10 - soft rock a la the cure, not bad

5/10 - got a bit worried when I saw another 60s album from an obscure band but could have been worse!

6/10 - nice 60s Bossa Nova

6/10 - not a bad indie rock album, cold be from the 90s

6/10 - good disco

4/10 - a bit of a struggle to be honest, not too hardcore but boring

6/10 - some good songs on this, but I always have this issue with this lead singer's voice, 3 or 4 songs max and it gets annoying

7/10 - good blues poppy rock, she has a great voice and it's not an exaggerated album

7/10 - good rock, could have been from the late 80s

8/10 - now this is quintessential 80s hip hop, not offensive, just fun rhymes but still deep when it wants to be

6/10 - good but too laidback, would be a good album for freaky time

5/10 - it's alright, the Yopko song is hippy af; but imagine is great

2/10 - damn this is boring, a temu Joni Mitchell

2/10 - nah, nothing of note, boring and forgettable

7/10 - short but sweet jazz album

5/10 - a bit boring, harmless though

6/10 - not bad but opens up with its best song

7/10 - very cool album, early 90s electronic

8/10 - great album, amazing vocals as expected, not too long so no fillers either

7/10 - unorthodox indie rock, a welcome change

6/10 - proper 80s pop here

6/10 - at first I thought it was a drag but it grows

8/10 - Absolute classic

4/10 - pretty boring, all sounded the same

7/10 - the lyrics and rap are strong but the beat can become samey; but a classic album of the times

6/10 - quite an original album, soft indie rock with some orchestreal elements

6/10 - some good rock but nothing that I'd go crazy for

8/10 - best Disco album so far

7/10 - not as good as American Idiot but still worth a listen

4/10 - pretty mediocre, no standout songs

5/10 - not bad, some long songs with good riffs but some weird sh*t too

2/10 - a tough listen, real elvis hillbilly stuff

9/10 - The xx with banger after banger, one of the best intros on an album; also best song is Heart skipped a beat

6/10 - cry baby is a highlight, she has a great voice, also didn't realise that the Mercedes-Benz song is from her!

4/10 - a bit too try hard

4/10 - apart from the opening song, nothing of note to write home about

5/10 - it's ok, a bit too hardcore rap and long for me

6/10 - honestly not bad, late 80s synth pop/rock

5/10 - a bit too whiny for David Bowie but non-offensive

7/10 - Really liked this, long orchestral rock songs

10/10 - has so many bangers and hits, I'm seeing some complaints that the songs were overused on ads and the like but why is that a bad thing? Weird thing to complain about... Beats another generic 70s rock album on this list for sure

7/10 - A strong electronic album, not too hardcore, remember clubbing to this back in the 2000s, can see a lot of complainers though, honestly we need more of this rather than another generic 70s album

7/10 - a nice mix of genre straddling discoish music; few songs but good length

5/10 - nice background music, something you would hear on Radio 2

8/10 - Unfortunately the full album wasn't available on Spotify or Youtube but the 4 songs I heard were definitely up there. The Message especially is a classic

3/10 - how is this generic hilly billy music on this list? Can't believe this group has 3 albums here

6/10 - some strong lyrics but the music just meddles into the same thing, could've used more variety

3/10 - don't recall one song, forgettable

8/10 - Zombie is an amazing song with a deeper meaning, reminds me of Rebelion by Joe Arroyo i.e. great music to dance to but profound meaning behind... the rest of the album is ok but I like how the tracks are few but long

10/10 - So glad to see some salsa on here, and what salsa, arguably two of the greatest of all time along with Hector Lavoe, Celia Cruz and Joe Arroyo. People still dance to this every weekend, so many good songs on this. I'm just sad I never got to see Willie Colon live, but Ruben Blades was incredible in concert

8/10 - it's Rage Against the Machine

7/10 - Enjoyable album, not all great tunes though and some weird stuff, but prefer the wacky riffs to a bland rock album any day

6/10 - very 80s rock, could be a soundtrack to an action film

9/10 - yes give me more jazz please

7/10 - some great jazz, simple with only two tracks

4/10 - not objectively bad, just slightly weird hippy rock from its time

7/10 - this is a carribean hotel lobby/pool area. But can't deny it's a classic and recognisable anywhere

3/10 - nah, overrated hippy rock

4/10 - My Girls is the highlight but the rest is quite...noisy?

6/10 - some good guitar riffs and songs but too long

10/10 - listened to this twice in a row, my 2yr old was jamming, absolutely amazing, chain gang is a highlight

8/10 - classic hip hop album, grew up to this and brings back some great memories

3/10 - painful, generic punk

8/10 - some incredible songs on here which will go down in history as some of the best hip hop songs of all time i.e. BOB and Ms Jackson. But it also suffers from too many strange interludes as was the fashion of the time when it was released

4/10 - meh, opens with its best song and just the same song one after another from there on out

6/10 - it's good but not Underworld's best

0/10 - fuck this album for having a love song to shitrael, not an excuse that "it was a product of its time", they've been stealing land from the get go

5/10 - can only remember psycho killer, the issue is that their sound can be too much over an entire album

5/10 - this just didn't click, prefer Missy Elliot's post-2000 stuff

5/10 - inoffensive and an easy listen

7/10 - good soul music

7/10 - some cool eccentric stuff but still very much listenable

7/10 - Great to have in the background, you know what you're getting with Ray Charles

4/10 - hmm i bit depressing and typical Morrissey whininess

5/10 - it's alright in the background, of its time

5/10 - about too hardcore hip hop for me, appreciate the lyrical talent though

6/10 - don't know what Japan has got to do with their music but was pleasant, more modern than 1979 for sure

7/10 - caught me by surprise, a very good album, soft electronic mixed with indie vocals

6/10 - it's a good 80s British indie rock pop sound, don't know the "deep" meaning behind some girls are bigger than other but it's hilarious

5/10 - it's alright, sometimes too try hard but pleasant

6/10 - Good background electronic music with a 90s vibe

6/10 - some hits on this album but I think I'm just not a fan of too much britpop in one go

6/10 - not just noise, was surprisingly good

7/10 - 101 FM is a highlight, some good RnB beats mixed with the London vibe

3/10 - another overrated album from its time

6/10 - the typical Smiths sound, can be left on shuffle and it's alright

5/10 - it's ok but becomes samey

5/10 - there's a hit song here but the rest is ok

3/10 - not the worst punk music I've heard but definitely not first choice on the record player

6/10 - great to have in the background

5/10 - cant remember one song but was pleasant in the background, maybe a tad too long

6/10 - he has a relaxing voice, i need to listen again to really appreciate the lyrics

4/10 - a bit too hard rock for me but objectively it is decent

4/10 - unfortunately quite boring, luckily it's not too long

4/10 - too immature for me, a little bit of fun but I can't even imagine any of these songs in a club

6/10 - just before my time but has some good indie rock songs, Disarm is a highlight

6/10 - surprisingly good punk, even had my 2yr old headbanging

6/10 - nice blues jazz 50s music, upbeat and some funny lyrics at times

7/10 - long riffs, some iconic tunes, recommended

7/10 - Pogues have more in their ammunition than just that Christmas song

5/10 - Overused synth and sampling but some catchy songs. note not available on Spotify due to too many sampled tracks without licensing so listened via youtube

7/10 - brings 8yr old me childhood memories back, not because I was a massive fan but because frozen was always on TV... Do have to give it to Madonna, this does have some pretty memorable songs

4/10 - damn this would've been a boring concert

6/10 - decent funk, not the best but good to have un the background

6/10 - not as bad as the rating is making out, really is a cultural snapshot of London garage and grime

5/10 - inoffensive (although lyrics sometimes may say otherwise), there is a distinctive sound but not necessarily a distinctive song

6/10 - nice relaxed RnB

6/10 - not vintage Bob Marley but it's still Bob Marley

8/10 - Great album, no bad songs at all, and no filler, perfect length

6/10 - some classic sounds but too heavy on the sex and especially having moaning in skits/songs is just weird

6/10 - I couldnt hear the full album due to Spotify restrictions but the few songs i did hear were decent

1/10 - a crappy 60s album that tries to be endearing with bad jazz skits

10/10 - this was a crucial part of my high school indie rock musical formation, I know they're known for their overscaled pop ballads but this album to me is flawless. The Coldplay I remember with classics such as The Scientist but hidden gems like Politik too. Brilliant Album

7/10 - good light electronic pop music, more 80s than 90s, I like it

6/10 - it's good but Immigrant song is the best and the others are all passengers

6/10 - I do like some drum and bass but this is just too long, but not objectively bad though

5/10 - hmm i remember this from my late teenage days but it's not really stood the test of time, a couple of known tunes but just kind of ends with no real highlights.

3/10 - another generic 60s/70s album

3/10 - boring, another 70s album which doesn't advance the genre

8/10 - signature Oasis sound, some classics here, also not forcefully dragged out which is always appreciated

4/10 - nah another boring hippy album, could be mixed in with any of the other 60s/70s albums. 1 additional point for the last tune though, that's pretty good

4/10 - better than the Countdown album by Steely Dan but still another generic 60s/70s album. Honestly why is this list so saturated with these albums, even crazier is that Steely Dan has 4 albums on this list!

4/10 - some decent tracks but still another generic 70s album

6/10 - jazz is always welcome but there are better jazz albums out there

1/10 - obligatory fuck this guy for having a song called shitrael, stain on his legacy

7/10 - a pleasant surprise, I knew about Bloodbuzz Ohio but the rest of the album is equally as good

6/10 - has a couple of classics but I cant remember anything else

5/10 - too 80s pop for me, it doesn't have some catchy beats but I think you would have to have grown up with this

6/10 - It's alright, never heard of these guys before

5/10 - it's just too whiny for me

8/10 - a classic indie britpop album

2/10 - too hardcore for me

6/10 - this is like the soundtrack to a cheesy 80s action film, i like it

4/10 - harmless but a bit boring

5/10 - it's a lot more vulgar than I remember but there are some good beats here

4/10 - late 70s album could have been from any time in the 60s, meh

5/10 -it's actually not bad, nice to have in the background

5/10 - not Dre's best, criminal that this is in the list but 2001 isn't

10/10 - Probably the best pop album in history

6/10 - nice and relaxing pop indie music from Scotland

7/10 - some classics here, nice relaxed pop vocals, also not overly long or dragged out

7/10 - some pretty good indie synth light rock, some of the longer tracks especially

5/10 - very similar to Dolly Parton I guess, it's ok

4/10 - hillbilly folk

5/10 - I'm sure the lyrics are deep or something but it's boring

3/10 - bloody hell this is a drag, so overrated

8/10 - Surprisingly very good, not overly pop or country at all, reminds me of Adele

5/10 - It's alright but can get grating with the same sound

8/10 - Finally a good 60s album

5/10 - typical Aerosmithy sound, never really got it but at least it's distinctive

6/10 - It was decent soft dance for backgrounds, I honestly can't remember anything distinct but that doesn't make it bad

4/10 - this is a depressing fella, reminds me of Sufjan Stevens

7/10 - a good mix of pop rock and urban beats

6/10 - alright beats for the background, can see the massive attack influences

6/10 - Of course the signature song "With or Without You" but I've never been a massive fan of U2 so the rest of the album is samey to me

4/10 - Typical 60s and The Who sound, not my cup of tea

4/10 - not super hardcore but still not my thing

5/10 - nice to have in the background, obviously the epic American Pie song is here too

7/10 - I thought it would be more 70s rock but pleasantly surprised it is more soul/funky

8/10 - What an album, reminds me of my early nightlife days in Edinburgh, some big songs on this but can accept that the vocals are an acquired taste

5/10 - reminiscent of a cheap Foo Fighters/Queens of the Stone Age, begins to drag and sounds the samey towards the end

6/10 - nice and inoffensive

6/10 - not my cup of tea for a relisten but appreciate this being a snapshot of the time

6/10 - can appreciate it but I wouldn't put this up there with the other big groups of hiphop of the time

6/10 - good vocals and surprisingly not a 60s sounding album

6/10 - good indie rock from the 80s, doesn't outstay its welcome

4/10 - mediocre trying too hard to be different

2/10 - Boring country music, there is good country and then there is this

4/10 - some songs too long for their own good

3/10 - another overrated Kinks album from the 60s, over-represented on this list

4/10 - Not as bad as some hardcore metal but still not my thing

4/10 - a bit of a drag, nothing of note

5/10 - some good songs and the latter songs are more relaxing music

10/10 - a true 5 star album, pretty much every song is a banger, it does need a good sound system but Daft Punk don't do fillers

4/10 - gonna be honest, apart from Like a Prayer, there's not much of note here. It's downhill from there as that is the opening song (never open with your best unless the rest of your album can match...)

5/10 - nice not too hardcore hiphop, very early 90s/late 80s sound

6/10 - nice relaxing songs, I'm still in shock she is the daughter of Ravi Shankar, music runs in their blood

6/10 - honestly a nice relaxed listen, very good to have in the background

6/10 - Manchester type Brit-Pop, not as strong as Oasis but surprisingly short and sweet

5/10 - a pretty decent album, not too generic from the era

2/10 - enough of the Joni Mitchell albums, one is enough FFS, so boring and same throughout all the songs

4/10 - when I saw punk, I thought this would be another awful album but it's surprisngly not harcore and is quite pleasant to listen to

10/10 - an amazing album, really is a standout

5/10 - a strange album but not bad, a strange mix of souls, country and random sounds

6/10 - a good rock/indie/britpop album, has a variety of songs which doesn't strain the ears

6/10 - A fun album, wasn't expecting much but could listen to it again

5/10 - a bit meh but I've heard worse

7/10 - Sometimes too many religious overtones but Bruce Springsteen really nails his music

4/10 - I expecting more but it felt disjointed and too generic unfortunately
