Popular Reviews

21 by Adele

Great album! Adele is amazing! 21 brings back a lot of good memories. One of which is my daughter and her friend making a video to Rumour Has It. They substituted "rumour" with our dog's name "Boomer". It was super cute and had shots of Boomer through out the video. Anyway, back to the music... Adele's voice is amazing! This was definitely her breakout album with hits scattered throughout!

All Ratings (91)

Achtung Baby by U2
Jul 21 2025

I'm not a huge U2 fan, but do own all their CD's. This is not one of my favorites by them but it certainly isn't the worst.

Dummy by Portishead
Jul 22 2025

I never really got into Portishead. This album ventures a little too far off center for me. Some of the songs remind me of Poe, whom I actually like better.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jul 23 2025

While Bowie may be a Rock-n-Roll icon, I can take him or leave him. This album was just okay to me.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

A timely album to listen to being it's a day after Ozzy's passing. The album that started it all for him and what a musical career he had! I never was a Black Sabbath or Ozzy fan. Although, I have come to appreciate his music and definitely get pumped up every time I hear "Crazy Train" at a football game.

Jul 25 2025

Rap, R&B, & Soul are not my top genres of music to listen to, although I do like and appreciate some artists in those genres. Lauryn Hill just isn't for me.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jul 28 2025

A truly classic album! This would certainly rank in my Top 1000! Paul's musical style and lyrical content make this a great listen. The older I get, the more and more I love the music from the 80's! Graceland & You Can Call Me Al are right up there as some of the best songs from the best decade of music!

Dookie by Green Day
Jul 29 2025

The album that started it all for Green Day. It's great from start to finish! I was in college when it came out and have had it in my collection since day one.

Traffic by Traffic
Jul 30 2025

I love a good classic rock album, but this one would not make my Top 100 in this genre.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jul 31 2025

I remember when this album came out but never really jumped on the eels bandwagon. Listening through this record makes me want to add it to my CD collection and investigate the rest of the eels discography. I like that he doesn't shy away from subject matter or deep personal feelings or even asking questions about something greater in this world. My favorite lyrics on this album are from "Novocaine for the Soul"... "You better give me something so I don't die... Jesus and his lawyer are coming back." While it's my understanding that E isn't a Christian, there were no truer words spoken. Jesus will fill the hole in your life.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Aug 01 2025

This album came out a year after I was born. I've never heard of this band before and certainly didn't recognize any of their songs. It's a good classic rock album but didn't really do anything for me.

Aug 04 2025

The album that got me into R.E.M. And now I own their entire discography! Automatic For The People is packed with great songs! From the lead song Drive to Everybody Hurts to Man on the Moon! The band released a total of 6 singles with three of them hitting the Top 30 on the Billboard chart.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Aug 05 2025

Another early 70's album by a group I haven't heard of. I would have been okay with having never heard it.

Aug 06 2025

While I do like Genesis, this album is not even close to my favorite of theirs. This album falls in and out of psychedelic rock sounds, which just doesn't do it for me.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Aug 07 2025

Radiohead is a good band. My son loves them! He says this is the best album ever recorded. For me, it's just so so.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Aug 08 2025

Another new listen. The Pentangle is a 60's version of Edward Sharpe & The Magnificent Zeros. I'm much rather listen to ES&TMZ!

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Aug 11 2025

I moved to the Nashville area in 1999. While I knew of Johnny Cash before I moved, I really learned what a legend he was in this town! You can't help but start to like his music while living in Nashville! I certainly became a fan! What a great live record that really showcases his personality and some of his biggest hits! R.I.P. Johnny!

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Aug 12 2025

most of this album gave me a headache, but that's the case with most Jazz music. I can appreciate his talent and artistry, but my ears can't.

Leftism by Leftfield
Aug 13 2025

My techno eays are long behind me!

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Aug 15 2025

One of these days the AG will tell me to listen to a band I've never heard of and I'll actually like it. Not so here.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Aug 18 2025

classic group with a classic hit "The Weight"! Their name is either really clever and some sort of inside joke or really boring and no one could come up with anything good.

Rio by Duran Duran
Aug 19 2025

Great album, great songs! The beginning of a good run of music from Duran Duran!

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Aug 20 2025

not awful for a jazz album

Aug 21 2025

The older I get the less I enjoy listening to harder rock music. I was never into Korn anyway. So, from a musical perspective, I didn't really care for this album. I do like Brian "Head" Welch's story, which can be read in his book "Save Me From Myself". An amazing redemptive story!

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Aug 22 2025

All of a sudden I'm in the mood for Mexican food! And a Mexican restaurant about the only place I really care to listen to this kind of music.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Aug 25 2025

A good, but not amazing album from a classic rock group.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Aug 26 2025

It's Prince! It's the 80's! It's good! While I was never a huge Prince fan, I've always liked his music. This album seems a bit more mellow than some of his other releases, and for me, didn't have recognizable hits.

21 by Adele
Aug 27 2025

Great album! Adele is amazing! 21 brings back a lot of good memories. One of which is my daughter and her friend making a video to Rumour Has It. They substituted "rumour" with our dog's name "Boomer". It was super cute and had shots of Boomer through out the video. Anyway, back to the music... Adele's voice is amazing! This was definitely her breakout album with hits scattered throughout!

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Aug 28 2025

meh.. r&b... not my thing.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Aug 29 2025

not all music is for all people... this would not make my Top 2000.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Sep 01 2025

Any Beatles album is top notch in my book!

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Sep 02 2025

Classic Rock group... classic rock album... just a little too psychedelic for me.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Sep 03 2025

uh, yeah... no!

Berlin by Lou Reed
Sep 04 2025

First time hearing this album. I thought it was a good classic rock album but didn't blow me away.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Sep 05 2025

Always good to hear a UK band I'm not familiar with. This is a group that could easily enter the rotation!

Low by David Bowie
Sep 08 2025

Bowie has better albums!

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Sep 10 2025

Some music is just noise. I'll give them Sabatoge off this album, but the rest just gives me a headache. I will say, I did fight for my right to party eight years earlier, which I think was the best song this group ever released.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Sep 11 2025

Finally an artist and album that I've never heard of that I actually like. I wasn't so sure what this would be like looking at the cover (it lowered my expectation), but after listening to I can see it's pretty fitting! Really enjoyed this one!

Synchronicity by The Police
Sep 12 2025

It's been quite awhile since I've listened to this album. It's much better than I remember!

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Sep 15 2025

Great debut album from a great British band!

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Sep 16 2025

Another new artist for me. I liked this album, even though it was pretty mellow. I'd have to sit and really listen to the lyrics to see how much I really liked it.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Sep 18 2025

Great album. Her voice is so distinguishable!

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Sep 19 2025

Smooth R&B. The dude's got talent.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Sep 24 2025

I enjoyed this one! Another new artist to my ears.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Sep 25 2025

yeah, this didn't do it for me.

Sep 26 2025

I wish I had the time to REALLY listen to this and dig into the lyrics of these songs. Musically, this is great! I enjoy listening to him sing!

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Sep 29 2025

I've never listened to an entire Linkin Park album before, and this just confirmed my dislike for the band.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Oct 03 2025

Waylon is definitely on the Mt. Rushmore of Country Music. Great album!

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Oct 06 2025

Not feeling the funk this morning... but as funk goes, this group is top notch!

1984 by Van Halen
Oct 07 2025

Easily my favorite Van Halen album!

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Oct 08 2025

Another classic from one of the greatest Rock Bands of all time!

The White Room by The KLF
Oct 09 2025

this selection almost made 3 good albums in a row... Keep trying Album Generator!

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Oct 10 2025

Can't ever go wrong with the Rolling Stones!

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Oct 13 2025

Three Stones albums in a week's time? Okay, I'll say it again... can't go wrong with a Stones album! This may be my favorite of the three that have been generated this week!

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Oct 14 2025

The 20th Anniversary edition on Spotify just might make this the longest album ever! Not a huge fan, so I should go!

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 16 2025

I skipped almost every song on this record due to his use of the "n" word. Be better Lamar!

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 17 2025

I have to be in the mood for Marley. 7AM while you're working isn't the right time. Otherwise, good album.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Oct 21 2025

Iconic Artist with a troubled history. Bad is one his best two albums, with Thriller being his best.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Oct 22 2025
Boston by Boston
Oct 23 2025

One of my favorite classic rock bands that I've neglected to actually collect their CD's. That will change soon!

Sea Change by Beck
Oct 27 2025

Pretty mellow album for Beck. I prefer his more upbeat stuff.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Oct 28 2025
LP1 by FKA twigs
Nov 05 2025
Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Nov 10 2025

Joan was a pleasant surprise. Reminded me a little bit of Tracy Chapman.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Nov 12 2025

One of the best storytelling songwriters of the last 100 years! Great album!

Debut by Björk
Nov 13 2025
Cut by The Slits
Nov 14 2025

There are absolutely more than 1000 albums in the world better than this one!
