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