1001 Albums Summary

I really like some of their songs, but overall it's a bit noisy for me.

Radiohead are my fav band, love it.

Nice enough

Not my thing. Classic albums are going to be hard for me on this thing. I really don't like classic rock.

I don't like jazz, or classic rock, or long meandering songs with noodly guitar. I don't think this link should have been to the expanded version also?

Funny, how I know Highway Star is from Rock & Roll Racing on SNES. But I still don't like these classic rock sounds.

The only BDB song I had heard before this was the one on the UNKLE album. This one is nice though.

I knew the (Jon Davis) Folk Implosion was jokingly named after these guys but never heard them before. Blues isn't my thing but this is more punk rock blues I guess. It's noisy. I see the Elvis singing White Stripes comparisons people are making for sure.

I really don't like saxophone in songs, lol.

Never heard of this at all before this. First album on here that I've really liked out of nowhere.

I had heard one other song by Doves before this. Alright, bright sounding.

Had never heard of this before. I like it. Punk sounding stuff.

This I think will be my first 1/5 rating, as I'm only 12 albums in. I probably have heard a few T. Rex songs on the classic rock station, but I really dislike classic rock, and apparently I really don't like glam rock also, as I found this very grating. This was the first time I actually starting skipping songs as I went as I couldn't stand them anymore.

Not a fan. Can't stand gospel, country and soul sounds. My mom loved Elvis I guess, but I don't remember her playing it when I was a kid really. But I do not. That crooning is too much.

I remember hearing of this band, but not sure I really heard any songs before now. Probably a bit too harsh sounding vocals for my tastes, but the music side is good.

First time hearing. It was alright, I liked the different feels of the 2nd half.

Ah, Steve Albini's band, I had heard of, but never actually heard. It was ok (post?) punk stuff.

I saw some of the comments saying this is something like "baroque-leaning psych pop". This is mostly too light and pop for my tastes. Oh, Time of the Season, ya, even I know this one, was used in movies and stuff. It's good, but ya, the rest is forgettable.

Noodly guitar doesn't really do it for me. Also a big no to funk and soul.

I really don't like country sounds. I do like the Neil Young folky stuff though.

I dunno, I'm not a fan of bluesy stuff. And this is pretty repetitive. And never was a fan of guitar noodling.

I knew the big singles, but never listened to the album before this. Some of those have grown on me, but overall the style isn't really for me.

Not really my thing.

All sounds pretty samey to me.

I'm a big REM fan. Love this album, a bunch of great songs on it.

Not a fan. Used to hear black magic woman on the radio all the time, never liked classic stuff. Guitar stuff like this just doesn't do it for me.

I had only heard the singles before this. But I found the other songs pretty enjoyable also.

I only knew a few Smiths songs, haven't heard any solo stuff before this. I liked it.

I really dislike classic rock sounds like this. But I guess it's not completely horrible.

I had heard the singles on the radio, but I really didn't like classic rock so I never really cared for them.

I had only heard of the name, except I think there was a cover of one of their songs on a Sebadoh album I had. It's interesting, punk but like jazzy also.

Not sure if I really knew any songs by them before. It's interesting, very enjoyable.

This is very 80s cheese to me.

Had never heard of this before now. I can hear how it might have influenced REM and Pixies for sure.

This is my 2nd Morrissey album on here, haven't heard this before either. I like this probably more than the last one.

I know a few Neil Young songs, but haven't heard a lot. Tell Me Why I actually knew only from the cover that Hayden did. I'm a huge Hayden fan and I know Neil Young is a big influence of his. Oh Southern Man, I knew this one too, used to play on the radio. I like the folky and rocky sides, but the country sounding stuff not so much.

This definitely isn't my thing. I dislike the parts that were more celtic or country sounding a lot. The folky parts were ok.

This kind of genre is really hit or miss for me, just comes across as a collection of background music to me I guess.

I'll be honest, I skipped most of these songs after 30 seconds as I couldn't stand any more. I hate country sounds and whatever else genres this classifies as I guess.

I actually liked it more than I thought I would. I'm not a fan of the singles I knew before this, but this album seemed pretty decent.

Never heard of this before. Some of the vocals remind me of Dead Kennedys, that warble. I like the punky sound.

I was already a big fan of this album. I'm a fan of Arcade Fire, well the older albums at least. The Suburbs and Ready to Start are a great 1-2 album opener.

Not really my thing.

Maybe if I read the lyrics there would be more there, but just hearing it without that it didn't seem interesting.

Ugh, I hate celtic type sounds. But the 2nd song wasn't bad. And country sounding ones, and anytime a fiddle gets involved are ugh to me too...

Eh, it was very low end of ok for me

I knew some of the singles and I really like those. But the other funk songs aren't really my thing. I went in thinking I was going to give this a 4 based on the singles, but I think the other songs mean I have to go with a 3.

Going into this, I already knew and really liked the singles, Time to Pretend, Electric Feel and Kids. First time hearing the rest of the album, and it sounds good too!

I don't like blues, so this is hard for me. Ugh, and at least one with saxophone.

Ok, proto punk eh? Ya, I can get behind that for the most part, some of it didn't hit, but ya.

Meh, it's ok I guess.

Not really my thing. I knew You Can Call Me Al. The African stuff doesn't do anything for me.

I've always been a fan of their singles, but never heard the rest of the album. Good stuff.

I actually did know one of the songs from this going in, that someone shared with me years ago. That said, it's still not my thing.

I already loved the title track but didn't know the rest of the album. Oh now that I hear it I did know Do You Realize also. But ya, the album was really great! I loved the different types of sounds here.

I dunno, it's not horrible but it's really not my thing.

I know a few of their songs from the singles, but I was never much of a fan. This one won't change that, I don't like that blues tinged sound. Not that all their songs are like that, but even the other ones are ok but just don't do much for me. The singing style grates on me for sure.

I was already a fan of this album, great stuff.

I don't like country sounds.

Oh, this is a weird one! At first I wasn't sure, but there are some things I liked in there.

Having only really known Maps before this, it was way more noisy and punky than I would have thought. Me likey!

Had never heard of this. Started it blind, thought this sounds like Sex Pistols. Then looked it up, ohhhh, haha. Anyway, ya, it's some good stuff, challenging.

It was alright.

Ugh, I hate saxophone in songs. And this is too like light poppy sounding. Jazz pop apparently, and I don't like it.

It was ok I guess, doesn't really do much for me.

I had to skip some songs half way after I couldn't stand anymore. I can't stand that voice and the squealy guitar.

I just can't like classic rock. Growing up with the only rock station in town being a mix of classic and modern, I heard songs like Show Me the Way all the time while waiting for them to play new music, so I grew to hate them more and more.

Not sure about that folky twangy sound.

Lust for Life the song was well known for me, but not the rest of the album. Was decent, can definitely hear the David Bowie now that I read that.

Ya, it was alright.

It's fine I guess, I knew the coconut song and the first song I just heard in the Weapons movie.

Never heard of this at all before. Was actually pretty nice, I liked a lot of the sounds, sounded newer than 79.

I only heard of him by Radiohead saying Creep was their Scott Walker song. I can sort of hear that here. It was ok but I didn't find it very interesting.

Not a fan at all.

Early post punk? I like it!

Ya it was better than I expected.

This list has been challenging for me. I really don't like stuff like this, but I see it's highly regarded. I knew 3 of the songs from the radio growing up but was very tired of hearing classic songs like that already. So I want to give this a 2 but I'll be more open and give it a 3.

It was alright I guess

I had the live motorhead album not too long ago, which I didn't care for much, so the same thing here.

Can't say I've heard this music before although the name rings a bell. I don't really like bluesy jazzy stuff though.

It was ok

I hadn't heard the rest of this album but I always like Imagine. Some of the songs are too bluesy for me though. Some are good though.

A bit noisy for me, but I like it.

I knew Red Eyes coming in. I like it but it sounds so Bruce Springsteen to me.

I don't like the bluesy soul sound.

I guess 80's thrash metal isn't for me

I’d heard of Black Flag but not sure I actually ever actually heard. Punk stuff. I actually expected to like it more than I did.

I grew up hearing 2 of these on classic rock radio and hated them. Can't stand his voice. And now the rest of the album isn't much better. YYZ I didn't care for it being so noodly.

Not my thing but recognized the theme from movies, although I guess it was the original version rather than this one.

It's a Christmas album

I had heard of the name I guess, more 80s than I thought it would be.

I grew up hearing a few of these songs on the radio and couldn’t stand them. The full album is just as bad for me.

Never heard before this, maybe heard the name of the band somewhere. It was sort of interesting.

Punk sounding but a little more melodic, I like it.

This isn't my thing at all, so was going to give it a 2, but it's not that bad so I'll go with 3.

Was a fan of the singles before this, but this is the first time listening to the album. I really like it when something like this comes up in the list for me to hear.

I heard of them but not sure I know any songs really. It's really cheesy sounding now, some of the effects are pure cheese. But for some reason, I thought it wasn't bad.

Apparently I'm ok with 80s pop.

A bit weird, but it was alright I guess.

I knew the big songs but never heard the whole album before. Ya, nice.

Not my thing, but it was alright I guess.

Not my thing, but it was alright I guess.

I grew up hearing ones like Bad Moon Rising on the radio and always hated them. I don't like blues and I really can't stand that voice.

Some of it I couldn't stand and had to skip, couldn't stand his voice. But a few were a bit more interesting.

This was cool! I like the sounds, ahead of their time. I couldn't figure out where I knew Requiem from at first but later remembered there is a cover of it on the Foo Fighters expanded edition of The Colour and the Shape that I have.

It was alright.

I've always hated them, can't stand his voice.

I liked it! Very emo prog.

Mostly instrumental. Some was interesting but some went on too long.

It was alright. I knew Walk on the Wild Side of course, but not sure I'd heard any of the others.

Some parts were ok but a bit too country for me

This was cool. I liked it. Never heard anything by them as far as I know.

Never heard of it before, but it was cool. Early proto-punk? Nice. I really like discovering ones like this on here.

I first heard Running Up That Hill as a Placebo song before I knew it was a cover. And of course heard a lot of the original after Stranger Things made it popular. And Cloudbusting I heard the Matthew Good cover first. So this is the first really listening to Kate Bush. I was a big fan of Tori Amos and always heard that she copied Kate's sound, and I can hear that. But ya, it was really good.

Not my thing. I don't like bluesy stuff, and that style of singing.

It's sort of a cool, goth sound. Normally I'd probably only give 3 but I need to be more generous on here I think.

Not my thing. Don't like country and soul sounds.

Not my thing

Not my thing at all.

Not a fan of the southern classic rock sound here.

Not my thing

I have probably heard a few songs by them, but I'm not super familiar. But ya, this sounded good.

I don't know much by The Smiths. I really like How Soon Is Now though. So this album I think was all new to me. I liked it.

I only knew the title track, but the rest was good also.

I knew Kool Thing but not the rest. Good stuff.

Never heard of them before. A bunch of genres but I don't like most of them.

I knew and really liked Killing Moon before this. Hadn't heard the rest. Good stuff.

I knew a few of the songs, but I'm sort of mixed on it all still.

I remember Constant Craving from when I was young but the rest of the album is not my thing. I don't like country at all, and the rest wasn't much better.

Never heard of this before. It was interesting, some early punk, some weird stuff, definitely keeps your attention.

I knew 1 or 2 of these guys songs from the ones they play on the Alt station I listen to, but none of these songs on this album I guess. I liked them.

I knew that'll be the day. But ya it was ok.

Not my thing but it was ok I guess

I don’t think this pedo album should be on the list.

I'm a big fan of Portishead. When Third came out, I was surprised it sounded so different than the previous albums, no turntable stuff, stark sounds that started and stopped. But once I got used to it I fell in love. The only thing that throws me off still is how much Machine Gun sounds like the Terminator theme at the end. I assume it was subconscious accidently copying it, but still, lol.

This is what I like about this project, never heard of this, it's weird, I like it.

Not my thing, not a fan of that classic rock sound.

Not for me at all.

I was surprised that a bunch of the songs were most known from other artists like Elvis, Little Richard, but guess that’s the way it went back then. But fun album for sure. Oh, just read he was a pedo racist though, so knocked it down for that.

I’ve never heard of this before this. I thought it sounded promising from the description but the vocals are a bit harsh, and I really don’t like saxophone/horns in songs. But the last half of the album seemed to be better.

I saw them open for Radiohead in 1998 without having heard of them before. It didn’t do much for me then, so this is the first time actually listening to an album from them. But it still didn’t do anything for me, lol.

Not really my thing but it was ok.

Not my thing.

Seems like it noodles around too much for me.

I know and like some of his songs but I don't think I knew any of these. That twangy sound on a few songs I had to look up, a Jew's Harp apparently, sounds really out of place because of only knowing it as like a cartoon joke sound or something making fun of hillbillies.

Ya, I liked it. I only really knew a few Smiths songs before this, but I like the sound, can see it’s influence.

I only knew a few Pulp songs before this. If I heard anything from this album I don’t remember. But I really liked this, especially the darker tracks with more alt rock sound.

I had heard of them, but not sure I've actually heard any songs. It seems from the comments on here that a lot of people dislike britpop, lol. But to me not knowing much of it, I like it, nice alt rock sound to me.

I'm a big Sebadoh fan and this was actually the first album I got of theirs back in the day after hearing Hayden do a cover of Think (Let Tomorrow Be). Lou Barlow is the king of heartbreak love songs and his songs are my fav here, those favs being Soul & Fire, Two Years Two Days, Sacred Attention, Forced Love, and Think. This is the last album with Eric on it, his songs are sometimes too noisy for me, but he has a few great ones here: Emma Get Wild, and Bouquet for a Siren. Of Jason's songs on here, Happily Divided is my fav. I would probably only give this a 4 really, but since it's one of my favs I want this to be on my 5 list.

I knew the singles plus a few extra songs that are on the "best of" album I have, but hadn't heard the others before this. Pretty enjoyable, nice sound.

Never heard of this before. Wish it stayed that way, I can't stand that boring classic rock sound.

It was alright I guess. I knew Pinball Wizard and would have been fine never hearing it again. The sound of these old albums has a hard time making any impact on me.

This is the first time listening to a full Beastie Boys album for me, I had only known their singles over the years. I was surprised at how musical this is, with instrumental tracks and all. I also didn’t realize they did the music side too, thought it was just the vocals. The variety here was nice too, like the punk tracks thrown in there too.

I can't stand Celtic stuff.

I was already a big fan of this album before this. Such great sounds. My favs are Tunnels, Power Out, Wake Up (Check out the live version with Bowie, great performance), Rebellion.

I knew Rock Lobster going in. The rest of the album was just as fun.

Not a fan of these kinds of jazz blues rock with horns and this old style of singing. The highlight for me was actually the Free Form Guitar song.

I knew Common People coming in. The rest was pretty enjoyable too, I like that sound.

I actually already own this album, I like it quite a lot, the alt rock sounds are great to me.

An easy 5 for me. One of my fav albums of all time. Such great songs here, opens with the amazing Drive and closing with the perfect Find the River.

The classic rock sounds aren't my thing, but the big song was interesting at least.

I never really heard them before, but had heard Big Star was a big influence on REM, and heard Elliott Smith's cover of 13. But hearing a whole album I can hear those influences on them. It was ok to me, but didn't hit as much as I thought.

Not for me, I don't like the classic rock sounds, and I really don't like the country and blues stuff.

Not a fan of the classic rock sounds.

I knew the 3 big songs, but not the rest of the album. Ya, it was good, I really liked the rest also.

Oh this has that song from Stranger Things. I didn’t know the others here as I only know a handful of their songs, but ya, good stuff.

First time listening to any of this album, only knew a few Cure songs before this. I liked it. Surprised how much instrumental parts a lot of the songs had.

It was ok but that description saying this helped to develop trip hop left me confused, as I didn’t hear that at all.

Latin music does nothing for me

I remember first hearing of them through Missing from the previous album, and I think I remember hearing Wrong from this one. I remember seeing this album cover art a lot. But the rest of the album was just ok.

I might have heard a song or two a few times by them but generally wasn't that familiar. But ya, I really liked it, the dissonant sounds mixed with the nice singing.

Too angry for me

I generally don't like classic rock or metal, but I do like this! That early metal sound I guess was the sweet spot for me before it evolved into what came later.

Not my thing, I don't like most classic rock. I knew Dancing in the moonlight from the Smashing Pumpkins cover, but I much prefer that version. I can't stand saxophone in songs either.

Never heard of this before. I read the description of folk rock singer songwriter, so thought it might be alright, but no. Too country for me.

Can’t stand this shit, grew up hearing it over and over on the radio.

Blues and soul stuff isn’t for me.

I had heard a lot about this album but never actually heard it. As a big REM fan I knew her from E-Bow the Letter and later on Blue. This was good but I was probably hoping for more from hype.

I'm more familiar with the next album, Rid of Me as I own that one, but this one I think I've streamed a few times in the past. But ya, it's great, nice raw sounds, great emotion in the singing to go along with it.

Not my thing, I would have been happy never hearing I Shot the Sherriff ever again.

Ya, I liked this one. I had only heard Waiting For a Superman before this but the rest were good too.

Mostly instrumental ambient kind of stuff with a few songs with singing. It was ok but I’d be fine never hearing it again.

I've only heard prob a few of his songs before this, so not sure if this was the best place to start, but ya, it was good.

It was alright, not really my thing though.

I only had one rock station in town when I was a kid. I listened to Cripple Creek way too many times waiting for them to play new rock songs.

Hey this was cool, sort of indie rock/electronic/60s mix.

I love Pixies but I actually only own the Death to the Pixies best of album, so I know like half of these songs and some others were half familiar from streaming a few times, but first time listening to this fully and ya it was great!

I’ve tried listening to this album a few times before and it never really hit but this time it did, some really good singing, guitar and feeling in these songs.

I’m a big Pixies fan and ya this one is great. The live versions on the Death to the Pixies album are especially good.

I knew Blitzkrieg but never heard a full album by them before. It was good, but a lot of them were a bit samesy.

I felt like I heard his name a lot and even recognized the album cover but wondered why I never heard it. Oh, it's country stuff, no thanks.

When the wiki summary said ska, I was like oh god, I can't stand ska. But I guess in the early 80s ska meant something different than in the 90s. But ya still, this was just ok, 80s pop with some variety. I knew Our House before this.

Wow, this was great! I had really only heard of them, and recently heard the cover Garbage did of Cities in Dust, so heard the original after that. But ya, for being 1981 this surprised me for sure. Post punk it says, that lines up, and maybe REM was even inspired by some of this jangle rock?

Never heard of this before. It was ok I guess, but it seemed really cheesy to me.

I have a tough time with old albums like this, I just really don't enjoy them.

It was ok but didn't really make me think it was great or anything.

Never heard of this before, but it just comes off as generic 70s rock to me.

I had heard of them, but not sure I actually heard anything before this. This was great! A nice post punk alt sound here.

I knew For Tomorrow from the best of album I have, but didn't recognize the others. Ya, I like it, very much my thing.

I loved this album already. Such raw emotion and rocking sound.

Never heard of this before. It was alright I guess, but nothing really jumped out at me.

Thought I never heard of them but then recognized the There She Goes song. The rest of the album was a bit all over the place but I liked it.

It was aright, I liked the weird ones most.

I dunno, it was just eh, didn't do anything for me.

I wasn't super familiar with them before this, heard a few songs a few times, and I knew Elizabeth Fraser from the songs she did with Massive Attack. I really liked this album, had some great sounds and atmosphere.

I grew up hearing the singles on the radio all the time and can’t stand them. The rest of the album isn’t any better. I really don’t like the country sounding ones.

I never really heard Taylor Swift before this, sure prob in the background of a store or something but I couldn't tell you. I don't listen to pop or top 40 or whatever, just alt rock stations. So this was just generic pop mainly to me, and didn't like the ones with country twinge especially.

I knew a few of the big songs but hadn't heard the rest. It was good, but some of the poppier songs come across a bit cheesy to me. The last half seemed to have more interesting rocky songs.

I feel like I kept reading about them but never really hearing it until now. More folky than I would have thought but it was alright. Nice album cover art.

The name was familiar but not sure if I’d recognize whatever I might have heard from them in the past. This was cool, nice mix of different alt sounds and interesting songs all around.

It was an interesting idea of a soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist, but really I'm sure there are tons of real soundtracks that would have been better than this for the list.

Sorry, I just can’t stand hearing anymore of those singles, and the rest of the album doesn’t do it for me either.

I like weird stuff, but this is too angry and heavy for me. Ha at that 5 second song though.

This is a bit of a weird one. Some sort of difficult songs, which is interesting, but didn't really hit with me either.

I only ever knew that Whip It song before this. This was nice and weird and cool. When I was a kid I had a Weird Al tape with Dare to be Stupid which I heard was in the style of Devo, and now finally all these years later I'm like Oooohh, I see, haha.

I knew Tutti Fruiti and the rest were alright, but I’m surprised at how samesy they all sounded.

Can't say I knew much about them besides Stayin Alive. It was ok. I guess it sounded like the beatles? I liked the instrumental tracks most, lol.

Haven’t heard any of these songs before this as far as I know. It’s not my thing though, this style along with those vocal wails I can’t do.

Some of the songs are bit bluesy for my taste.

I knew Heroes only going in. The rest was ok. The instrumental ones were unexpected but nice.

Never heard of this before. Some interesting stuff but some of it gets a bit noodly and long.

I knew Why Does it always rain.. going in only but enjoyed the rest for sure.

Never heard of this before. Some of it has a bit too country twang for me and the rest was a mix, a few interesting stuff but some not.

The first 3 songs are ones I’ve heard on the radio a million times and can’t stand to hear anymore. Some of the others weren’t so bad I guess.

Never heard of this before. It was alright. Sometimes a bit too country for me but was on the line.

I only remember hearing of the name but not the music. I liked it, nice harder songs mixed with some more alt.

Only heard of them, didn’t know any songs. Ya, it was nice, cool sounds here.

I've only really heard Love Will Tear Us Apart by them I guess. This album was nice, I liked the sounds. Vocal style is a bit strange, but ya.

I'm not super familiar with them, but did hear one other album on here before this. I like it, shoegaze noise pop works for me.

I don’t think I’ve heard any of these ones before this. Nice early punk sounds here.

I knew Jane Says going in but had you asked me I thought that was a mid 90s song so I was surprised to see this is from 88. But the rest of the album does sound more 80s rock.

Never heard of this at all before this. It was nice enough, sure.

Never heard of this before. It was nice enough I guess.

These songs are mostly way too long and noodly for me. The never ending drums on the Mule almost put me to sleep.

I knew 2 songs here but the rest were pretty good too.

Never heard of this before. Some early REM and Cure sounds here.

Oh man, I still can’t stand his voice, and I can’t ever see that changing now. Even musically, blues rock doesn’t do it for me.

I knew White Rabbit and Somebody to Love going in. The rest isn’t really my thing but it was decent. The last of the original tracks actually sounded pretty good.

I've heard of them, but didn't recognize any of these songs. Very much not my thing though.

I've heard of them far more than actually heard them. It was good, the vocals were a bit harsh for my taste but still.

Never heard of this before, but ya, I liked it, nice rocking sounds.

I love this album. The cool guitar sounds, the dissonance, the spoken word mixed with some singing. The hypnotizing loops of the song structures. Good Morning, Captain is amazing, the build up to end it in that scream sends shivers every time.

I knew the main song from the radio years ago. It’s all really not my thing, I don’t see the appeal but it was ok I guess. But why are there always saxophones, can’t stand them.

Still can't stand his voice. And the music mostly doesn't do it for me either.

Ugh, I hate country music. It says country rock, but I don't hear any rock in this.

Metal is not for me. I didn't enjoy anything about this.

I'm a big R.E.M. fan. While I don't think this is anywhere near their best album, it's still great.

I've always been a fan of Beck's singles but never listened to a full album. I knew like 5-6 of these songs going in, and the rest were nice also. Great stuff.

I've never heard the album before, knew only a few songs. It was interesting to hear for sure, I liked most of it.

It wasn’t offensive or anything, but this kind of thing just really isn’t for me, I get no enjoyment from it and just want to skip after a few min.

Eh, I really don't like country sounds. Interesting project with the lyrics being old and writing these later, but still didn't land with me.

I really don’t like bluesy stuff and heard Layla on the radio as a kid enough times for my lifetime

I only knew Pyscho Killer, which I heard a lot on the radio as a kid. I can see how this was ahead of it's time in 77, early new wave or whatever that went into the 80s. But still, it was just ok for me.

I knew a few of her songs, first time listening to a full album. I liked it, it was nice. Good that I got the first album first also!

I'm not a metal fan so this did nothing for me and can't say I enjoyed much of anything here.

I love when I get something I’ve never heard of at all like this. Noisy garage rock, I’m down with that. But by the end it wore on me, a bit too much classic rock in there for me.

This was great. I knew Pink Moon and a few other songs of his on other albums, but first time hearing the rest of this. Great sounding stuff. Influenced a lot of modern indie folk.

Not my thing at all. Maybe if you like this style it's amazing, but to me it does nothing and no desire to listen to it again.

I knew like 4 songs going in. I like it, nice sounds. Can definitely hear the Billy Corgan sound on the songs he helped with.

I'm not a fan of old bluesy stuff like this.

I knew 4 songs going in, but hadn't heard the rest of the album. Some of them were a bit too noisy for me but the other ones I really liked.

Never heard of this before. I was hoping for more post punk and less new wave cheese.

It was alright I guess. The only song I knew was Take Me to the River, but oh it's a cover, so not really theirs anyway.

Never heard of this before, but it does nothing for me, just generic soundtrack music to me.

Still can’t stand Celtic stuff, even if they do mix in some Turkish and stuff.

I knew the singles but was surprised by the big 9 minute songs. I liked it all though.

I knew a few of the songs. It was alright, for still being something I generally don't care for.

I dunno, it just seems like with these old albums people liked such boring music. It wasn't offensive, but so meh.

Maybe heard of their name but hadn’t heard before. From the wiki saying it is house music, the first track threw me off with its soul singers and not being electronic, but the next few were more what I expected. But still, it was only ok, nothing very interesting here.

Never heard of this before. First song, oh no saxophone, I hated that trend. 2nd song, oh! I didn’t even know the blink song was a cover! Some of the rest were alctually pretty good, but some cheesy synths also, but maybe back then people thought those were great.

Ya, old folk stuff isn’t for me.

I know of them, but didn’t know the songs. Nice indie pop songs here. Soft and jangly.

Ha this was great, only heard the name before this. Tight punk rock, 15 min album, ha.

Never heard of this but I know Arctic Monkeys. This was surprising compared to that. Sounded older style pop than this. It was alright.

So I knew a few of the songs, and I guess the rest was alright, but this 60s pop rock or whatever doesn't really do much for me.

I dunno, I just can't get myself to like old stuff, the guitars are too noodly and go on too long, the blues styles aren't for me.

Oh I could have died happy not hearing these songs again.

This is very just ok, whatever to me.

Never heard of this before. She sounds a bit like Bjork. But these songs are not interesting enough to be so long! It just comes off as rambling forever.

Never heard this before but I mostly can't stand ska. It's always that same sound with most songs.

Never heard of this before, but was better than I thought it was going to be. Sounds like REM might have been influenced by them and looked it up and sure enough ya.

Never heard of this before. It started off strong with a standard punk song but then I see their thing was mixing blues in there which I don’t like, so ya it was just ok.

Eh, I don't like country sounds.

Too noisy for me. I didn't hate it, but didn't find much there I liked.

Some of it was ok but I don't like the reggae and 60s sounds.

I guess the glam sound or whatever isn't for me.

I was a big fan of EPro and Girl going in, but never heard the rest of the album before this, and it sounded great.

Ugh, I can’t stand country music

This one has the songs I first heard from them when Sex on Fire was popular, even though that song didn't really hit with me, some of the other singles like Use Somebody and Notion did more, so I'll give this a soft 4, because I did mostly enjoy it even if his singing is sort of on the edge of not liking it for me.

Not a fan of these kinds of blues sounds.

Mostly I didn't like the bluesy and soul sounds

It’s not really my thing but I suppose it’s alright.

I had heard of this album a bunch, but never actually heard it. The Concept was good with a sort of power pop sound. Satan surprised me as the follow up with it being a noisy instrumental but the rest went back to that nice power pop. And man this is is great for me, this is the kind of album I love doing this project for. This is an album that I should have owned since back then but went under my radar. I mean I was only 10 when it came out, so ya it makes sense, but better late than never.

I can’t much stand this. I knew 3 of the songs from classic rock radio growing up, which killed all desire to hear any more classic rock in my life. The ones that I hadn’t heard before I think were even worse.

Never heard of this before at all. It was ok I suppose, but didn't stand out to me.

Oh man, so on one hand this isn't something I like, I would never choose to listen to it on my own, but on the other hand I know it's super popular 80s songs that I know a few of them and they aren't horrible, but still.

Dylan isn't someone I would choose to listen to on my own, but its ok.

I've heard the bang a gong song way too many times more than I would have wanted from growing up with classic rock radio. The rest is very meh to me, I don't enjoy it.

I don’t get it. Boring chamber pop?

While it’s not offensive, it’s just whatever, background music to me.

I only knew Cars. The rest were good too but there was like twice when a song started and I was like oh this is Cars and it wasn’t. So I guess they sound a bit samesy sometimes.

There are some NIN songs that I love, but some of these a bit above my loud and angry limit.

I'm not a big fan or anything but I knew a few of the songs and it was good.

Very much not for me with the thrashing and the metaling. I actually don’t mind a handful of their songs I suppose, but only a few of these got close to being there for me.

I never liked Rush, can’t stand those vocals.

This is very ok. Nothing offensive but nothing interesting.

I liked it more than I thought I would but it's still just ok to me.

I like Money For Nothing, and knew a few of the others but it's just at ok level.

Some of the songs were weird, those kept it interesting, but the rest was just ok.

Sorry I just can’t stand soul and funk.

This was only alright. Not offensive but not very interesting either.

Ya, this was good, some interesting songs here.

Never heard of this before. Not my sort of sound.

I knew Northern Sky going in, great song. The rest was good too except I don't like the saxophone and soul singers parts.

Radiohead are my fav band ever so I already loved this album going in. I remember when this came out in 2007 with the pay what you want thing which was a really interesting experiment. I decided to pay $15 since that was around the price of cds at the time and since I loved them. And I actually saw them on the tour for this in Toronto in 2008 which was an amazing show. But ya my fav songs on this one are Reckoner and Jigsaw but they are all great.

I actually had 3 songs from this in my mp3 library from a friend sending them to me years ago, but first time hearing the rest of the album and ya it was good too.

I generally can’t stand southern rock stuff like this but I do like Simple Man and it has that song from Happy Gilmore lol

I’m sorry I just really don’t like funk

I’m not familiar with them, maybe I heard a few songs but not sure. This is alright I guess, a little lighter than my tastes. A few of the songs do get close to an REM sound that I like though.

Never heard of this before, but didn’t like it. Those squeaky vocals I really couldn’t stand.

I've heard the name but not sure I've ever heard them. Punk stuff, cool, I like it.

Never heard of this before. Reading how this influenced riot grrl and I can hear that. Generally I really don’t like saxophone in songs but it’s actually not bad here, more subdued I guess? Or maybe just as a part of punk as an instrument in the mix instead of a big sax solo.

Never heard of this before. The nuclear theme is interesting, but not the type of music I would usually listen to. Tides I enjoyed a lot though.

Heard the name before but don’t think I’ve listened to them before. Pretty decent sounds here though.

The name seems familiar but not sure if I’ve heard anything by them before, none of this album anyway. This is like chill electronic, sounds like movie soundtrack stuff, almost a Portishead type sound sometimes, I like it.

This one is a bit hard for me, I liked some of it, but the more country sounding ones aren't for me.
