well...I didn't like it. I'm not a big fan of his voice. however, the songwriting and the themes explored in the songs were interesting.

Sex Pistols

such a shame we can't give half stars on here, because this is a perfect 4.5 stars for me, i loved it!

Hotel California

Eagles

5/5

My first 5-star rating! I had only ever listened to the iconic title track before, but the entire album is something I'll be listening to often.

2/5

it's okay, just not my cup of tea

4/5

Very enjoyable listen. Amazing lyrics

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

3/5

Decent to listen to and the harmonies are fantastic

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

1/5

Listening to this, all I could think was: God, why have you forsaken me? Berman's voice is absolutely awful, making Transylvania Blues the clear standout track, as we are mercifully spared from his singing. The second half was a bit better, but the album is still just boring

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Great but it gets a bit tedious and repetitive after a while

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

it's actually really good. i wasn't that interested in reggae before listening to this album, so i wasn't expecting to like it this much

2/5

meh

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

What an incredible album!!!

Black Sabbath

4/5

This is my first real dive into the metal genre, as I've never been that interested in it. To my surprise, I really liked this one. The instrumentals are absolutely great, and the album cover is incredible, too 4.5⭐

Picture Book

I like fun so it's obvious that I like this album

This Is Hardcore

4/5

It was so good that I almost rated it 5 stars, but after some thought, I felt that 4.5 was a more accurate score

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

Country music isn't really my cup of tea, but the album wasn't bad, and the cover is fantastic

John Prine

2/5

For me, this album was like waiting in a crowded line: at first, you think it's not so bad, but after a few minutes, it becomes tedious and monotonous, and you just want it to be over as soon as possible.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

2/5

My third country album in a row (yes, I'm God's strongest soldier). Sorry, but there's no way I'll listen to all 42 songs on this; 17 were more than enough. Musically, it doesn't sound that bad (the best tracks were the instrumental ones), but as a whole, it's just not for me

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

4/5

I LOVE the album cover, and it's a cool album overall

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

Not the greatest thing I've listened to. The first half was kinda boring, but the second half was good

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

2/5

Kinda insufferable

Permission to Land

The Darkness

1/5

There's nothing remarkable about this album, and Hawkins' falsetto is just painful to listen to.

Dusty Springfield

5/5

What a voice! The entire album was flawless

Close To The Edge

Yes

4/5

It was really cool. 4.5 ⭐

Bob Dylan

2/5

I hate his voice and his harmonica, so...

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

3/5

There are a few standout tracks but the rest is nothing special

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

2/5

Meh

Enjoyable listening. 3.5⭐

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

Good start, but too long. I really didn't enjoy the rest

Ellington at Newport

4/5

An absolute masterpiece. 4.5⭐

Doolittle

Pixies

3/5

It's kinda funny: I get that this is an influencial album. Yes, I can hear some of it in the songs of my favorite artists, but I can't say I enjoyed this. The instrumentals were incredible. 3.5 ⭐

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

I expected more, to be honest

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

Okay, so I'd heard of Meat Loaf (though not much), and I don't know why, but I was totally under the impression he was this tough guy, and his music was just as rude and heavy. Well, I was honestly surprised to listen to this and realize that Meat Loaf is actually the heterosexual Elton John (just like one of the reviews here mentioned). I had so much fun listening to this!

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

So...this is why everyone loves Oasis. I LOVE this album, my favorite on the list so far. I can't even decide my favorite track because they are ALL amazing

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

2/5

It's not my cup of tea

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

Incredible. So catchy

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

It's a enjoyable listen. Perfect to just throw on in the background. 3.5⭐

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

2/5

I don't see what this is even doing on the list

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

The rumors are true: it's amazing

Led Zeppelin

4/5

This is insane. It's absolutely great. I like every song and with a few listens, I'm sure it's going to be a 5 star album for me, but meanwhile 4.5⭐

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

Being born in Latin America, of course I was familiar with most of the tracks, as they are so essential and generational for salsa music. However, I am (or was) a person who has never liked the genre and always thought it sounded the same, so I never really paid much attention to these tracks before. After listening carefully to Siembra, I noticed its richness, the lyrics, the incorporation of other genres... And now, I have no choice but to admit it is indeed a musical masterpiece

2112

Rush

3/5

Good, but feels too long after starting with a 20 min song. 3.5⭐

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

2/5

I think I'd probably like it if someone else sang it. The instrumentals are good and all but I can't bear his voice

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

I was already familiar with some of the tracks on this album. It is very good overall
