This is my favorite White Stripes album, it's a banger from start to finish. No more notes.

It's a great album. Loved it.

I appreciate Black Sabbath for what they opened the door for, but I feel that I enjoy Black Sabbath songs performed by bands that are not Black Sabbath.

Metallica has to be the most well known bands where you can say "I liked them before...". And Justice For All is before Load the album where they seemed to have lost all of their fans and is, for me, part of a holy trinity of Metallica (And Justice For All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets).

When I'm listening a lot of my time is wondering what made this album on the list. This is a good album, it's snot bad, but I don't know why I would have to listen to this one.

One of the best albums that I've heard so far. I can hear how this has influenced other Brazilian Artists.

This is a classic for a reason. Not my personal favorite Depeche Mode, but a solid album start to finish.

Looking at some of the other reviews on this I was worried what I was going to hear. I don't see the hate, but I also don't know anything else to say other than this is was kind of Meh. It was not bad, not great, just kind of filler.

PJ Harvey is one of the many names of Artists where I know the name and I know they are famous, but don't own anything from them. I can see why this album is on the list, not really my style but a good album. The only thing I had of her when searching my own catalog was she was on a song with Tricky.

Adding a saxophone to yacht rock does not magically make it not yacht rock.

There is a reason that James Brown is called the godfather of soul.

One of the bester Missy Elliott albums, not a single song on this is bad.

This is one of the greatest. I honestly feel that 100% of my friends all have this album in one way or another.

It's a live soul album and it was good.

classic for a reason.

Sitting right in the middle of the two best albums from the Berlin Trilogy it's like most middle children not as good as the other two but still unique in its own right.

JuJu is one of those albums that I've heard all the songs on it but never listened to the album itself. Over all my years I would accumulate mix tapes and then sadly mix cds and in hundred and thousands of those some how my friends, lovers, and other people had given me this album but in the best way possible song by song over 30+ years.

The greatest Echo And The Bunnymen album because it has the greatest song they have done. I know it is just my opinion but I think that "The Killing Moon" might be the best songs from the "new wave" era.

Growing up my parents had a pretty eclectic taste in music. On any given day if they were listening to one of their albums you could get some Kraftwerk, Irish Folk Songs (mostly about how much the English suck), and you know other typical 'boomer' type music. This album, is by far my favorite Kraftwerk Album 6 tight songs great album, great sounds.

A great album by a mediocre band.

As a kid who grew up in the 80's and 90's right in the heart of the satanic panic it's funny to go back and listen to this kind of metal. Holy shit were people losing their minds of Iron Maiden and AC/DC. When you actually sit down and listen to it you realize that it is nothing compared to what would come later. Hell I'm sure if I played some Iron Maiden now to some people they might go 'wow this is pretty good punk/heavy rock'. Which is it, and this album is great.

I remember when a friend of mine from PA mailed me a mix tape. The A side was some of his own electro stuff that he was working on and the B side was this album. In the note that he sent he was like 'picked this up the other day and was blown away, needed something to fill the B side of the tape so here you go'. I too was blown away because it was a great electro album and coming from the home of Daft Punk you knew it had to be great. Still when I hear DVNO I always have to listen to it a few times before moving on. I'm sure that when the tape I have breaks it will be at that part where I listened to that song over and over and over again.

Every night my partner and I talk about the albums that we listened to that day and what we thought of them (we both travel for work so it's usually done over the phone). I was telling her about Lauryn Hill and that I remember buying the album (on cassette tape) and that I remember the Fugees but I don't remember anything of them after this album came out. That's the thing, no albums did come out it's like Lauryn Hill leaving the Fugees killed the Fugees and then there was nothing. It's an influential album for the ages but now that I listen back to it, it's not what I remember.

Let's get the joke out of the way first. I went to a fight and it was ruined by having an Oasis show break out. I kid I was never blessed enough to see Oasis live. I was 14 when this came out and was squarely in the prog metal and metal camp at that age. I had just found Undertow and listened to it so much the tape broke. I definitely remember Live Forever an Supersonic playing on the 'alternative' radio station in the town I grew up in. Next to Blur, in my opinion, for the greatest Brit Pop band out there.

I always forget that this album starts with a reference to UFOs. Now I was not alive when this album was released and I can also say that I was not even an glimmer in my dads eye cause he was not even in high school yet. Jimi Hendrix embodies the term 'the good die young', unlike Henry Kissinger, Hendrix checked out at only 27 oddly the same age as another left handed guitar player from Washington state and the Seattle region Kurt Cobain. My favorite song on here is actually the one sung by Noel Redding, but I think that could easily be switched with Castles Made of Sand.

As a fan of other Prog or "Progressive" music, Rush, Genesis, Polvo, etc. Yes, is one of those bands that I knew existed but I had never heard, or if I did hear them they did not make an impression on me. Before listening to this album I did go and see what other people thought, and it does seem to be similar to me. A mid album from a mid band. Although there are 3 bangers on this Roundabout, Fiver Per Cent For Nothing, and Heart Of The Sunrise.

First off, is is the greatest fucking album from Public Enemy! Really needs no notes but I'm going to give them anyway. Listening to this album now as an adult and reflecting back on what Hip/Hop Rap was in the 80's and what it is now is shocking. Back in those days, it seems to me, that if you wanted to be taken seriously as a Rap Artist you needed to have a DJ that you could shout out, Public Enemy (PE) had for this album Terminator X and the samples and scratches on this album are beyond amazing. She Watch Channel Zero might the best, just listening to Chuck D rap over clearly a heavy/hard rock guitar riff and drum beat with Flavor Flav doing all the best that a hype man can do. That brings me to my next point, Public Enemy was more than just Chuck D, Flavor Flav, and Terminator X. You also had Professor Griff and during this time S1W the dance crew that dressed like a paramilitary group out to protect the Public Enemies. My partner was blessed enough to see them when she was in college and they performed at her college and she said it was the greatest show that she has ever seen. This is a 20 out of 5 stars album.

Not a big fan of Elvis Costello, but can see where people would like this, but it's just not for me. If that makes me a hater, then call me Emperor Palpatine cause I'm letting the hate fill and flow through me.

Let's get a few things out of the way before digging into this. Pink Floyd is one of the greatest Avant-garde, Space Rock, Progressive Rock, bands out there, and like all great British bands two of the member absolutely and totally fucking hate each other. Last I head David Gilmour has even called Roger Waters antisemitic. I'm sad that one of my favorite albums Ummagumma or Meddle are not on the list of albums to listen to because it's great. Regardless I think that Dark Side of the moon is a good Pink Floyd album but not a great Pink Floyd album in any way. I think that a lot of that comes from people enjoying the idea that this syncs up with "The Wizard Of Oz". Still a good album I think it's a good transition for them on to some of their biggest albums of all time The Wall, etc.

There was a part of me as I was thinking about this band that I would get the names mixed up. I would say Television in my head when I meant Magazine. I can see this being an important album as it firmly sits between the Punk and New-Wave genres. While this might sound harsh that it excels in neither of them but was solid all around. A good album for fans of both as you won't be disappointed.

The best thing about albums from this era is that you only have about 40 minutes to work with. That means you either put all the great songs on there and push it to the max, or you put the best on there and don't overstay your welcome. That is not to say that Highway to Hell overstays its welcome, quite the opposite. I wish there were more of this. I want more songs just like this like a great heavy rock album for the ages.

This albums is exactly the thing that I began to fear during this time of music. While it was still in the 'physical' era it represents the "CD" first approach clocking in at about 68 minutes that is only available on a CD if this would have come out when Vinyl was the most popular medium it would prolly have had 20 minutes of songs cut, they would have had to figure out a way to get to a great 40ish minutes of music instead of 68 of meh. The album outstays its welcome. I really enjoy Madonna's early work. The only track on here that I will remember is Ray Of Light and I think that is mostly because that was on heavy rotation on the radio.

It's crazy that this was recorded in 1957. I had to coble together a bunch of different YouTube videos to experience this album turning it into a sort of fun scavenger hunt.

Another banger of an album. This is a great example of how Jazz can be a basis for all kinds of music. As I was sitting down to write this it I thought of a Stella Sketch where they were arguing over what music they wanted to listen to and they were all a variations of Jazz-Funk!, Jazz! Funk, Jazz Funk! sadly I either dreamed it up or Stella is so protected by Comedy Central thy won't allow it on youtube. Regardless of if you know Stella or not this is an amazing album.

Not good, not great just kind of there.

Having listened to "White Light" by Gene Clark (a member of The Byrds) I was a little worried about this album. My parents never listened to the Byrds while I was growing up so this is my first time listening to them. Like so many of some of these albums on this must listen to music list i wonder not only why was this one selected but why do we need to listen to 5 other albums by the Byrds. If they are all like this they will all be middle of the road country rock, no need to get all worked up 5 times for this. I think that there are just better representations of this sound.

Tits On The Radio is the jam from this album. I also enjoyed the Pink Floyd cover as well. My memory of the Scissor Sisters has them as more electro/dance than this but it does not matter what a treat as a freshman album.

This is my favorite White Stripes album, it's a banger from start to finish. No more notes.

I have no idea what I just listened to but I know this, it was amazing. I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the low rated albums for being 'interesting' or 'weird' or 'experimental' will be 5s in my book and that is what this one is earning.

A fantastic album. For me Wonder Wonder is the top track on the album. Well earned 5 stars.

Patti Smith is my spirt animal.

This is the kind of album that you can just put on in the back ground and it won't offend you or your guests. It was good not great, but an alright in the middle kind of thing.

Sometimes when I'm like "I've never heard this band before" when I get my album for the day I get excited like I'm going to be exposed to something new and exciting, something great. Not with this, this, this is trash. I can think of all the bands who were formed when they listened tot his album and were like 'fuck if they can get signed so can we'. I do know this though, no one looking to form a band is putting an add out saying 'looking to start a band that sounds like Big Star. I cannot say this more, garbage, garbage, garbage. What is worse, is there seems to be another album from this trash ass band. -100/5

This album answers the question what happens when a great musician makes an album that does not live up to their prior content. When I was doing research on this album it was said that this was not critically or commercially successful but was reevaluated after his death and in the post mortem period was reevaluated and people were like 'yeah maybe it's good'. Nah, should have stayed where it was. A decent album but not great.

Off The Wall is part of the, in my opinion, holy trinity of Michael Jackson albums. Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. I mean how could this have been a bad album with Quincy Jones at the helm. Always 5 stars.

I love the prodigy and while not as good as Fat Of The Land, this is a great album. The thing I really love about this kind of music and the simple lyrics is they work often better than something that might be more specific. Fuck Their Law repeated gets you the same idea if they tried to hide it, and well, they were not trying to hide it.

This album is the reason why I started going through this process. I've never heard of Mike Ladd and now I'm glad that I have. I found a new band/rapper that I like and also love that this is again another album where as soon as it started I knew that it was going to be controversial, or at the very least polarizing. Gave me very strong early Kool Keith vibes and I'm here for it. The Bladerunners song having EL-P made it even more. Best song on the whole album though has to be The Animist.

As the first if the "Berlin" trilogy albums this is one of my favorites. I love how it starts with the instrumental "Speed Of Life" this is one of those albums where you just know it's going to be great when you look at the cover. I know that a lot of people don't like 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' but it's a great movie and the cover of this album is a very alien way to represent the music that, I think at that time might have been quiet alien. Bowie always gets max.

It's got Brian Eno! It is Roxy Music! Two member of this band don't like each other so of course it's going to be a good album. It is also a pretty good example of what people thought art rock was like in the 70's. No reason this does not deserve a 5.
