Feels like a burned cd you’d find in your parents stuff, listen to once and think wait, that's actually pretty good and then never listen to it ever again. Stylistically like a cross between 60s British psych rock, jangle pop, and folk rock. Totally listenable, but other bands do aspects of their sound way better. Just kinda boring Standout tracks: The State I Am In, I Don’t Love Anyone, Electronic Renissance (only because it's pretty bad) 1.5/5 deserves to be on this list

Lou Reed’s lyrics and guitar work fit on some tracks, but can also be slightly clunky/abrasive at times. The songs it clicks on are super great, like Perfect Day and Walk on the Wild Side. This album sounds and feels a lot like his previous stuff with the Velvet Underground. Standout tracks: Perfect Day, Walk On the Wild Side, Hangin’ ‘Round

This album is totally good; it’s enjoyable to listen to pretty much the whole way through, but sometimes the songs kind of just blend together. It does end on the worst tracks in my opinion. The bass playing is probably my favorite part of this album and the talking heads in general. Would definitely give it a 4.5 if I could. Standout tracks: Mind, Cities, Memories Can't Wait, Heaven 4/5 deserves to be on this list

This album is definitely not my style of music but is honestly really enjoyable. The instrumentation and lyrics are totally over the top but also really good. Honestly no standout tracks bc this whole album feels like one complete experience. I wouldn’t really listen to one song on its own. 5/5 deserves to be on this list

This album is definitely the kind of thing that would be enjoyable on a road trip or something like that, but doesn’t really feel that interesting when you actually listen to it. The guitar riffs are fun, the singing is pretty good, but it all feels kind of empty. Most of the songs feel pretty static and don’t really make up for that with more interesting instrumentation. Standout tracks: Walk All Over You (Honestly the only track I specifically liked) 4/5 deserves to be on this list

This album has everything it needs, but somehow never really clicks and becomes really good. It’s fun to listen to in the background but nothing really comes through as very memorable. Definitely a nice break from endless 70s rock though. Honestly it probably deserves a 4. It’s totally enjoyable. I just don’t think it should be in the same category as other albums I already gave that rating. Standout tracks: Blue 1/5 deserves to be on this list

Yeezus is pretty unique. Kanye’s sample choices are very interesting, and provide good contrast to the rawness of the synths on this album. The main thing holding it back is the weird and unpredictable structure of some of the songs. The cuts between sample and synth sections can be pretty abrupt. They do work very well on other songs like On Sight. Send it up is kind of ruined by its weird ending. Lyrically this album isn’t as good as earlier Kanye stuff. It’s a lot more fun with nice headphones! 5/5 deserves to be on this list Standout tracks: On Sight, Guilt Trip, Bound 2

Like Transformer Lust for Life has a nice wonkyness that creates some good songs. I think the average song on Lust for Life is better although the highs aren’t as high. The guitar parts are really fun. I can very much hear Bowie’s influence, but that def isn’t a bad thing. Standout Tracks: Some Weird Sin, Tonight, Neighborhood Threat 5/5 deserves to be on this list

This is a hard album to rate because it’s somehow worse overall than almost all of the songs on it. Something about them just doesn’t mesh. That being said, the songs that I like on this album are so good. The combo of early British punk with ska is very fun to listen to and definitely stirs some minor nationalism 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧The bass playing is also top tier. I really want to give it a 5 because I love the best songs so much but it just doesn’t work well enough overall. Gangsters is only on some versions but I’m including it bc it's one of my favorites. Standout tracks: A Message to You Rudy, Do the Dog, Concrete Jungle, (Dawning of A) New Era , Gangsters, Too Much Too Young 5/5 deserves to be on this list

I thoroughly enjoyed this album all the way through. The only weird part was the transition between Bob Dylan's 115th Dream and Mr Tambourine Man, but it's also the end of a side on the actual vinyl so it makes more sense ig. I also started to get a tiny bit sick of the harmonica around Gates of Eden but it kinda calmed down after that so it was all good. It’s very fun to listen to as someone who really likes folk because I feel like I can hear the sounds of different artists like On the Beach era Neil Young and Woody Guthrie show up at different times. I probably like the first electric side more, but both are really fun. Bob Dylan’s kinda weird voice also fits very well with everything. Standout Tracks: Subterranean Homesick Blues, She Belongs to Me, Love Minus Zero, Mr Tambourine Man 5/5 deserves to be on this list

Honestly this album is kinda boring. It may have been a big inspiration for punk but listening to it now it doesn’t really distinguish itself very much from other 60s/70s hard rock except its politics. At that point there’s a million bands that do the same sound better. It’s not atrocious or anything but honestly isn't unique enough to fully justify its abrasiveness or poor sound quality. Standout Tracks: Borderline 3/5 deserves to be on this list

This whole album feels pretty dark. The stories in the lyrics feel like they really capture middle America at a certain time. That being said, I don't think the actual musicianship on this album is thaaat good. Springsteen’s guitar is composition wise very simple and way too quiet. The harmonica is pretty harsh and doesn’t mesh nearly as well as a Bob Dylan or Neil Young song. Something about Nebraska makes me feel kinda annoyed and I can't quite put my finger on it. I don’t really know enough about Bruce Springsteen’s other music to compare it to this album. The vocals and lyrics are what’s carrying everything, but they only take it so far. Standout Tracks: Atlantic City, Highway Patrolman, Open All Night 3/5 deserves to be on this list

This record is really really good. It lacks a lot of the flatness that other 80s hip hop has gotten with time. The samples and beats are really good, especially Funky Worm on Dopeman. I can def hear the influences on everything that came after this album. Politically, it still feels very relevant and I kinda feel like a trespasser listening to this album. Standout Tracks: Straight Outta Compton, Gangsta Gangsta, Dopeman 5/5 deserves to be on this list

Honestly this album is a very nice break from the other stuff we’ve gotten so far. Kinda the opposite of the mountains of 70s rock. A lot of the tracks are pretty creative and approach a lot of genres that pop like this wouldn’t normally deal with. It also sometimes feels like it’s doing more just for the sake of making a greatest albums of all time type album. The rhythm guitar is really fun though. Some tracks also narrowly avoid falling into annoying target music, but do avoid it nonetheless. It’s also really really long so I kinda got sick of it by the end. Standout Tracks: Dance or Die; Sir Greendown; Oh, Maker; Say You’ll Go 4/5 deserves to be on this list

This album was very enjoyable all the way through. I can hear the type of samples and general vibe in albums that came after. The lyrics are also clever and very enjoyable. Imo the flows started to get a little boring by the end. It probably didn’t need to be as long as it was but it was all still good. Standout Tracks: Step In The Arena, Who’s Gonna Take The Weight, As I Read My S-A 4/5 deserves to be on this list

This album cheats by being a compilation and still isn’t very good. It’s just so boring and repetitive. The first third starts off fine, but hearing very similar tracks over and over again gets old pretty fast, especially considering every song is so short. None of it was actively bad, but also didn’t feel unique or interesting. Even the relatively good riffs are forgettable once the song ends, except for maybe Hate To Say I Told You So, which is probably the whole reason this compilation exists anyway. Very weird choice for a greatest albums of all time list Standout Tracks: Hate To Say I Told You So, The Hives Are the Law, You are Crime 1/5 deserves to be on this list

I mean this is basically just worse Smiths. I can definitely feel the lack of Johnny Marr. Pretty enjoyable, but probably not a greatest album of all time. Honestly not that much to review. Standout Tracks: You’re Gonna Need Someone On Your Side; We’ll Let You Know; Seasick, yet Still Docked 2/5 deserves to be on this list

This album is so good. Pretty much the gold standard for dark synth textures, everything layers so well. It manages to be totally driving while also retaining seriousness. Pretty solid all the way through. Everything feels a little less frivolous ig than older depeche mode albums. I’m not really describing that right but its a different feeling overall. Obviously some songs aren’t as good but it still deserves a 5. Standout Tracks: World in my Eyes, Halo, Policy of Truth, 5/5 deserves to be on this list
