1001 Albums Summary

Alabama song is incredibly grating. In fact, the whole second half of the album is less than stellar.

Pleasant, easy listening jazz

Starts with a strange mix of reggae and hip-hop. I really like the sections where it just turns into a monologue. Unfortunately, I feel it is not nearly as impactful by modern standards. Favorite Songs: Final Hour

Overall, I think the album would be more enjoyable without a lot of the vocals. The instrumentals are interesting and varied, creating an excellent atmosphere. The album grew on me the longer I listened. Favorite Songs: Um Dia Comum (Em SP), Felicidade, Abraco

Beats are fun, but the lyrics and vocals are truly awful. Got this too early in my list and had to come back and change my rating to a 1. It is infinitely worse than most other albums on this list

Really grew on me as the album went along. I find the vocalist fine, but the guitars are excellent and really enhance the whole album. Favorite Song: Marquee Moon (there's a reason it's the album title, after all)

Love the Timpani throughout, but nothing much strikes me beyond that.

Nothing in here I haven't heard before. The guitar is the highlight (and sometimes the lowlight as well)

Amazing album, top to bottom. I'll never pass up an excuse to listen to this Favorite Songs: Can I Kick It?, Ham N' Eggs

I feel very conflicted on this album. I enjoy the sound of the guitars, but I don't love Liam's dragging vocals. It sounds like every other British rock album, which isn't necessarily bad, but doesn't leaving me wanting more. Favorite Song: Live Forever

Would love to hear more like this throughout. I kind of love the way they introduce the performance on the album itself. It adds to the ambience. Favorite Songs: September in the Rain, How High The Moon

This whole album kind of feels like Psycho Killer, just in different fonts. Really not that exciting. Favorite Song: Psycho Killer

A lovely album all the way through. Some may find it a little too all over the place and distracting, especially with a trumpet as the lead, but I enjoyed it Favorite Tracks: Blue in Green, All Blues

I respect this album more than I actually like it. The message and intent behind it are great, but the music itself is not for me. Favorite Songs: Fistfull of Steel, Freedom

Really enjoyed the varied instrumentation on this album. Some songs kind of lost me and just ended up feeling like Bob Dylan songs, but it really grew on me as the album progressed. Favorite Songs: Jimmy Hickey's Waltz, We Will Not Be Lovers, When Will We Be Married

Camp in its purest form. I had a great time, and there really isn't anything else like it. Some and concepts haven't aged well, but I still enjoy it for what it is. Favorite Songs: Bat Out of Hell, Paradise by the Dashboard Light

A genuinely great album. It's impact is a little diminished by everything that has come since, but it is easy to hear how they have influenced future artists. Favorite Song: Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall

At first, I thought I like this a lot. As it progressed and started to lean more heavily into the African choral arrangements, it really lost it's way. The album sounds a little too "white man discovers another culture" instead of properly celebrating and exploring this style. Favorite Song: Graceland, You Can Call Me Al

Enjoyed it overall, but nothing really stuck out with this album. It all kind of just flowed over me. Favorite Song: Feva

Nothing to dislike, but nothing to love.

Cash really makes a lot of these songs his own (especially Hurt). It's fascinating listening to such a famous artist dealing with his own mortality, which really pushes this album beyond just a collection of Johnny Cash blues songs. Favorite Songs: Hurt, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Streets of Laredo

The drums go crazy on this album. Liked it way more than I thought I would Favorite Songs: Sunday Bloody Sunday, Drowning Man

The Arctic Monkeys have a very distinct sound. Some people will love it, but I found I got a bit bored of it by the end of the album. There are no bad songs here, but it's not for me. Favorite Songs: Perhaps Vampire Is A Bit Strong But...

Nothing wrong with the album, but I just found myself struggling to stay engaged. Favorite Songs: It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), Oddfellows Local 151

This album was a whole lot of nothing. I wish I liked it more than I did, but it just bored me.

It's Dolly. Who doesn't love Dolly?

Tons of fun. It's just so funky Favorite Song: One Nation Under A Groove

This album is kind of ridiculous, but I can't help but love it. Alanis Morissette's vocals make this album stand out Favorite Songs: All I Really Want, Hand In My Pocket, You Learn,

Ignoring the fact that Taylor Swift is a terrible person who uses her success to stifle out other female artists, this album is so boring. It's filled with a bunch of undeniable pop hits and I like the synth influence, but I just can't get past how plain Taylor's lyrics and vocals are. Favorite Songs: Shake it Off,

The Gallagers are not my favorite, especially with Liam's voice. However, something about this album hit today. I think the overall melancholy vibe really fit with the atmosphere I'm feeling. Plus, there are no duds on this album. Favorite Songs: Hey Now!, Champagne Supernova

The beginning to this album is far stronger than the end, but I loved it throughout. I'm surprised I haven't heard anything from it before Favorite Songs: People Everyday, Tennessee, Mama's Always on Stage

Really wasn't for me. Kinda just sounded like generic indie rock, with nothing making it stand out from the current music in the genre

Just kinda passed by. Nothing really stuck.

Very simple structure, but I loved this album. Looking at these lyrics now really broke my heart. Favorite Songs: Talkin' Bout a Revolution, Fast Cards, Mountain O' Things

I LOVE BIG BAND JAZZ Favorite Songs: Congo Mulence, Frenzy, Blues a la Machito

The negative reactions to this album are extremely overblown. It's far from my favorite, but Jazmine Sullivan is extremely talented and the issues she talks about are meaningful and emotional. I did find it a little short and some of the songs had production I didn't love, but she really carries it. Favorite Songs: On It

I'm sure it's good, but didn't stand out from other indie rock

As a longtime Beach Boys hater, I liked this way more than I though I would. The lead singer's voice is still a little grating, but every song is just so catchy. Favorite Songs: Here Today

I liked this more than her other album I've listened to in this project (1989). However, I still found it fairly boring throughout. I actively disliked the last one, but this album had some slightly more interesting songs. Favorite Songs: no body, no crime

Super fun. Surprised I haven't heard more by Dusty Springfield before Favorite Songs: Son of a Preacher Man, No Easy Way Down

For a second, I thought I was having a good time. I can't really say I liked most of the songs on here. It started strong, but got worse and worse as the song dragged on.

Nina Simone's voice is timeless. The songs on here are excellent, and this is one of the rare albums that I truly loved listening to. Favorite Songs: Lilac Wine, What More Can I Say?, Black is The Color of My Lover's Hair

Not quite a 5 star, but a good album. If I felt a little more melancholy, I'm sure this would hit harder. Favorite Songs: Southern Man, Tell Me Why

A very underproduced album, but the lyrics were great. Pretty different from the other albums on this list. Favorite Songs: Things Behind the Sun, From The Morning

Good background noise to work to. Great album art though

Excellent album. I'm not sure at all what was being said, but the songs were all so fun it didn't matter. Favorite Songs: Caroline, Bouge de la (Part. 1)

I definitely prefer Led Zeppelin IV, but this was still a great listen

I have never listened to Radiohead before. Today, I learned I don't like Radiohead.

Really not sure why this Beatles album is on here. I was never a Beatles fan, but listening to all their albums helped me appreciate them. This is not one of those albums that is really notable in any way Favorite Songs: Till There Was You

Very psychedelic. Might be for some people, but not for me. Too many confusing ideas. Favorite Songs: Shine Like the Stars

This album was kind of insane. The instrumentals seemed more focused on being weird than on being good. I loved it Favorite Songs: Starship Trooper: a. Life Seeker, b. Disillusion, c. Wurm, Perpetual Change

I listed a favorite song, but it is the only one I remember listening to in any capacity. Boring, repitive, and unremarkable. Favorite Song: Take Me to the River

Qualms over the contents of the lyrics are definitely valid, but I do love Amy Winehouse's voice. Favorite Songs: Stronger Than Me, You Sent Me Flying High / Cherry

Whiny, boring, and monotonous. I'm sick of albums like this already

On a first listen, I thought this album was fine, but I felt like I was missing something. I gave it a few days and came back, and my opinion has completely changed. Excellent all the way through. Favorite Songs: Gypsy Eyes

Not what I expected from the album with such an iconic song. It's a lot more melancholy, folksy, and interesting than I thought it would be. Favorite Song: American Pie, Vincent

I did not expect rock and flutes to go so well together, but I was proven wrong. People hating on this just don't have enough whimsy in their life. Favorite Song: My God

I have no nostalgia for this, as I haven't heard this album in its entirety before this year, but it's an incredible concept album. Unlike similar albums that get lost in their own lofty ideas, this album rocks the whole way through. Some slower parts lose my interest a little, but as a whole it's so far above the rest of the pack.

Unpopular opinion, but I liked this album way more than Graceland. Very emotional and heartfelt album that still manages to be fun the whole way through. Favorite Songs: Peace Like a River, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

I'm struggling to form an opinion on this. It's definitely pretty out there, but I really appreciate just how over the top it is. With that being said, none of the songs really stood out for me.

The Beach Boys have always sounded pretty dated to me, but I was surprised with just how good Pet Sounds was. I was hoping this album would continue to change my mind about their music, but no.

Love a good conecpt album. Willie is wonderful to listen to, and every track is nice and calming. I'll have to give this a relisten later

Makes a ton of sense that this album was produced by David Bowie. Lots of songs in here that I have heard before and enjoyed, but not very cohesive as an album other than a common sound. Much much better than I had expected. Favorite Songs: Lust for Life, The Passenger

I couldn't even finish this album, skipping through the last three songs. Having no nostalgia for it certainly doesn't help. It's more boring than anything else. A little too much edge, not enough actually interesting ideas.

I'm fully aware I listened to this full album, but I couldn't tell you one thing about it. It is pretty good, but it didn't stick with me in any way.

The music itself is a 2. Sounds incredibly dated and not that interesting. Gets a 1 because of how awful the artist is

This was fun, but too samey

Had to give this album a second listen to really form an opinion on it, as I felt I missed something the first time through. The vocals are relatively boring, but the instrumentals were pretty different from most things on this album and really helped to make it feel different. Favorite Songs: Intro, Night Time

Some iconic U2 songs in here, but compared to War, I found this one overwhelmingly boring Favorite Songs: Beautiful Day

The cover is the most interesting thing about this album. Some neat ideas and instrumentation, but absolutely not deserving of being on this list.

Gorgeous voice, and great songs

Did not really give this much of a rating when I first listened, but it's grown on me steadily. Probably his best album and I can listen to it almost anytime. Favorite Songs: Get Innocuous!, Us v Them

Expected this to be another one I wasn't a fan of, but it sounded really nice.

Liked this a lot more than I thought I would. While it is kind of simple, the emotional aspect really shined through

Pretty weird, but a lot of fun. I really liked their more out there tracks. Listened to this one a few times since it first showed up on the list and liked it a little more each time. Favorite Song: Hang Wire

That was a Christmas album

Just hard for me to enjoy this music knowing MJ is the singer behind all this. While there are objectively good songs, I would never come back to this or turn this album on in my own time.

Some great classic rock in here, plus I love when live albums include some dialogue from the concert.

That was definitively not for me. That early 2000's alt rock sound always sounds kinds of whiny and angsty to me, and compltely turns me away.

I don't think I necessarily love this, but I really appreciate it. Her voice is a bit too squeaky, but the instrumentation is varied and her lyrics are interesting. There is so much similar rock on this list that I do appreciate a big swing. I don't think I'll listen to this album all the time, but I'll definitely give it another try later, which is better than I can say about a lot of albums. Favorite Songs: Monkey and Bears, Cosmia

Some good songs in here, but nothing exceptional. Listening to them groove is great. Favorite Song: Summer Breeze

Not my favorite Zeppelin album, but they are consistently the best of the classic rock bands. Favorite Song: Whole Lotta Love

Normally I hate this kind of noisy grunge, but I actually found myself feeling pretty neutral about it, which is maybe the highest praise I can give it. Although the last song is truly awful

Shocked this is only their second album. Lots of great songs in here, and the energy is great. Favorite Songs: The Mask, Killing Me Softly with His Song, Ready or Not

This album inspired me to go and listen to more Leonard Cohen albums, but now my question is, why this one? Some great songs, but a lot of his earlier albums are better. Definitely made me a Cohen fan though Favorite Songs: Everybody Knows, Tower of Song

Very funky, very fun Favorite Song: Unfunky UFO

Always enjoy Neil Young, but nothing about this album blew me away

Enjoyable, but brought down by the fact that it doesn't sound very unique anymore. I've heard lots like this since it came out Favorite Songs: Blue Line

An excellent Jazz piano album, made even more excellent by the story behind it. Albums like this are why I keep doing this project, even after a full week of British rock

It might've been a bit long and dragged a little at some parts, but I think it kept it fresh and interesting enough to keep me engaged. It seems that I'm a fan of prog rock Favorite Songs: Carpet Crawlers, Colony of Slipperman

It's Michael Jackson. There are some awful songs in here (Dirty Diana, Liberian Girl) and he's an awful person, but these songs are iconic for a reason

That was a fun album, but it was really just a collection of songs. Nothing cohesive about this other than it has the same singer.

I can't believe this is on the list. The first song is a decent start, but every song after that is exponentially worse than the previous. I thought it couldn't get worse than Girl, but Frankie Teardrop proved me wrong.

I can appreciate that this music was made while the artist was quite young and that it was influential for its time, but it's just not exciting to listen to now. Too much similar music exists out there for this to really stand out in any way. Favorite Song: Xtal

This was fine

Shocked this is their first album. They really kicked it off with a bang Favorite Songs: Running With the Devil, Eruption

I like the idea of blues rock more than I like blues rock. I'd rather just listen to Zeppelin

Nobody does it quite like Ray Charles Favorite Songs: Just for a Thrill, Come Rain or Shine

I like a tight, 30-minute album. This one really grew on me, with the second half of the album being far better than the first Favorite Songs: In Your House, A Forest, M, At Night

That first song is an excellent intro, but it never gets better from there. The rest of the songs just kind of float by. Favorite Songs Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space

Beyond the two standout tracks, there really isn't too much here Favorite Songs: Hotel California, Life in the Fast Lane

I think I respect Bowie more than I like his music. Historically I find him interesting, and I like the concept of this album, but I didn't find it too engaging. The last half was great for a late night run though! Favorite Song: Subterraneans

I'm fully aware that I listened to this, but I couldn't tell you a single thing about it.

I didn't hate this album, and I thought the insane lyrics at the end were kind of fun, but I struggle to see how this album deserves to make this list.

A dangerous album to open while at work. Enjoyable, but not groundbreaking. Favorite Song: Out of the Blue

The absolute best Zeppelin album. I didn't even need to relisten to know this is a 5, but I'll never pass up another excuse to do so Favorite Songs: Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven, When the Levee Breaks

I had heard several of these songs before and was pretty excited to listen to this album. Unfortunately, I had really already heard all the songs worth listening to. Fleet Foxes just have this wonderful sound that kind of washes over you. Not as excellent as I hoped, but still a great album Favorite Songs: White Winter Hymnal, Ragged Wood, Blue Ridge Mountains

Imagine creating Take 5. This album just makes you feel cool

Some great Synth Pop to start my day. Nothing too exceptional beyond the title track, but the energy of the album is fantastic Favorite Songs: Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), Love is a Stranger

BIG BAND JAZZ! Great way to start the day Favorite Songs: Lil' Darlin', The Kid from Red Bank

A really strong opening song for an album. It's between a 3 and a 4, but I really love the beginning. We'll see how my feelings change over time Favorite Song: Roundabout

Had to come back to this several times. This album has slowly grown from a 3 to a 5 for me. I just can't stop coming back to it every few months. Favorite Song: Station to Station

The first track is all over the place, but I love the darker sounds of Group Dancers. Another great jazz album

Very funky, very fresh, very fun

Cool sound, and I really liked it at the start, but this album is pretty one-note. Maybe I just didn't listen hard enough, but nothing really changes or develops throughout the album.

I got it a little more than other Jam Bands I've listened to, and there are some great moments, but it's just background noise for a lot of it. Favorite Song: You Don't Love Me, The Whipping Post

Had to give this two listens to get it. I really like the vibe and some of the songs on here are great, but I just don't think I love it as much as I want to Favorite Songs: Running Up That Hill, Waking the Witch

Let Love Rule is among one of my least favorite songs I've heard on this list, and it's the title track for this album...

It came and it went. I love this type of stuff usually, but this album just didn't do it for me. Gave it two listens, but nothing stuck Favorite Songs: Fade Away

A great album. Genuinely a ton of fun to listen to Favorite Songs: God is Love, What's Going On

Never really got Bruce Springsteen, but this album clarified it to me. Great rock sound Favorite Song: Darkness on the Edge of Town, Adam Raised a Cain

Honestly more rock than funk at times, but it's still very funky. The opening tracks are the strongest by far, with the album not really living up to the promise of those two songs. A great way to start the day Favorite Songs: Maggot Brain, Can You Get to That

I appreciated how different this album was from a lot of the rest of the stuff on here. The vibrato was a bit annoying, but only at a few moments. Favorite Songs: Fistful of Love

Pretty safe and standard, but not everything needs to be groundbreaking. He has a great voice. Excellent music to just kinda chill out to, especially late at night. Favorite Song: Babylon

A really simple album production wise. It's nice to hear but is pretty one note. However, my girlfriend liked a few songs from it, so that's neat Favorite Song: Needle of Death

I quite liked the combination of blue rock and psych/prog rock, but I didn't think it really meshed. All the songs were one genre or the other, but never really both. Favorite Song: Waiting for the Sun

Meh. I really like some of PJ Harvey's other stuff, but this is very forgettable.

I went from feeling incredibly neutral on this album to praying for it to end by the time I got to Fun House. Someone send help please

Still not my favorite Cohen album, but a very good one. The production is really simple, which makes you focus more on his lyrics. Favorite Songs: The Partisan, Tonight Will Be Fine

Did not expect to love that album as much as I did. So different from everything else on this list. Id love to hear more like it Favorite Songs: Joan of Arc, Souvenir

The most vanilla music imaginable

This was pretty good. Don't know how much it will stick with me, but I really enjoyed it while listening to it. Edit: I have come back to this fairly regularly. I was incorrect. It's great Favorite Songs: Never Let Me Down Again, Little 15, I Want You Now

I can appreciate how different this album is, but I just personally don't find it very enjoyable.

I could see myself really liking it on another day but just wasn't in the mood for rock-pop today.

I don't know if I just listened to this on a bad day, but I found myself checking how long the album would be only two songs in. I wish I liked how experimental and strange it was, but there's something about it that throws me off. Get Out of My house is the perfect summary of how I feel about most songs on this album. I really like the vocal chant at the end, but there is so much other stuff in there (the donkey noises, the shouting) that push me away.

Blues Rock just isn't my thing. I'll probably relisten to this at a later date, but it just didn't do anything for me

This was absolutely what I needed today. I don't remember rating this album as anything special on my previous listen through of Steely Dan, but it really hit for me this time. Yacht Rock is great Favorite Songs: Rikki Don't Lose that Number, With a Gun

Loved the intro to School with the Harmonica but was a little more disappointed when the vocals started. Favorite Songs: Rudy, Dreamer

Bob Dylan has moments of greatness when I think I'm getting into it, then he always does something to ruin it. I just cannot stand his music Favorite Songs: Visions of Johanna

Kinda whatever. Just not for me

Very 80's, but I won't pretend like I don't love it. So many iconic songs on here that I've heard over and over but will never tire of. Favorite Songs: Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Head Over Heels

Funky, fun, fresh

Kings of Leon does have some great songs, but none of them are on this album. Just listen to Only By the Night instead and save yourself.

Very standard country. Don't love it, don't hate it

I love Jesus Walks, but Kanye doesn't get any money from me. Won't even give this a listen

I actually really dug how low-key this album way. Felt lighthearted while being emotional and quiet. Favorite Songs: San Francisco Bay

Gorgeous album art. On top of that, this album was just so much fun. Janis Joplin killed it, and the songs were great. Almost felt like a jam band, but I actually liked Favorite Songs: I Need A Man to Love, Piece of My Heart

So much fun. Didn't know I needed to hear Superstitious this morning, but I'm glad I did. Even without that song, the rest on here are so groovy that it's hard not to have a good time. It's infectious Favorite Songs: You Are the Sunshine of My Life, You've Got It Bad Girl, Superstitious

There's so much about the Gorillaz I don't like, but this album isn't it. There's maybe one song on here I didn't like, and all 3 intro songs are spectacular

Normally not that into alternative, but this album rocks. Favorite songs: Debaser, Monkey Gone to Heaven

Definitely need to give this another listen at some point. I don't think I was as focused on this as I needed to be for it, but even then I can recognize how excellent it was.

This album has such a range and I love it. Maybe I like alt rock more than I thought? So many good songs on here that it's hard to pick one. Favorite Songs: Disarm, Quiet, Sweet Sweet

The best I can say about this is that I was neutral on many of these songs. I don't find Bobby D to be this lyrical genius, nor do I like his voice, so I'm not sure what enjoyment there is to find in this.

Dated, uninteresting, and made by a pedophile? What a classic

This reminded me a lot of Nick Drake, and I should have liked it more than I did. I should come back and give this another shot sometime, but it didn't do anything for me at the time

Some very fun songs. Joni Mitchell is very talented, but I just don't see myself coming back Favorite Song: Car on A Hill

When this started I was shocked by how much I liked it. The industrial sound behind it is really cool. However, the album is pretty one note and not too interesting beyond that

Listened to this while on a run and thought it was ok, but why was it so long?

I can recognize that this album is well done and objectively pretty good, but it just didn't hook me. Favorite Song: Even Flow

What a killer voice and an excellent album Favorite Songs: Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Back to Black

I really like this style of country. I don't think this was my favorite album in this style, but it was pretty enjoyable for a single listen Favorite Songs: Honky Tonk Heroes, Ride Me Down Easy

This was really dated, and not in a fun way

Beyond the title track, I don't really have anything of note for this album. It's fine Favorite Song: Imagine

This was way too long and every soung sounded fine.

Over the top and fun Favorite Song: Are You Ready (For Some Darkness)

Beyond Blue Orchid, I was actively waiting for this album to end. Congrats to Jack White for being my first ever 2, and continuing the trend over half a year later Favorite Song: Blue Orchid

I really wish there were no vocals on this album and I'd like it a lot more Favorite Songs: Memories

Whatever. This came and went without me really feeling anything

Oh this is FUN. Can see why this style of music isn't replicated often, but such a cool experiment. Really I just love anything that sounds Jazzy Favorite Song: You've Made Me So Very Happy

Saw like 10 copies of this at the record store I was at while this was my album of the day. Very fun, but doubt I'll relisten for much beyond Pusherman

Pretty fine album, with only one track standing out. Don't really think this should be on the list, but getting way more hate than it deserves Favorite Song: Bad Liquor

Very 80's, in a great way. Great way to start the day. I think I have to be in a specific mood to want to come back and listen to this, but it'll definitely be a good time anytime I do. Favorite Songs: Rio, Hungry Like the Wolf, Lonely in Your Nightmare

FREAK OUT Favorite Songs: Le Freak, At Last I Am Free

An amazing album. Not a single song on here not worth listening to. Easily one of Cohen's best albums. Favorite Songs: Suzanne, Master Song, So Long Marianne, Hey That's No Way to Say Goodbye

Shocked at how bad this is. I like this style of Hip Hop, but this is not it. I think it's a combination of boring rhymes and a forced flow. I think I'd like it more without the rapping

I don't know how often I'll come back to it, but this album was awesome. So different to everything else on this list, and Adamson did such a good job creating a story with his music that I could clearly picture the events taking place throughout the album. Watching a movie entirely with music is a pretty unique experience and I love that this is on the list. Favorite Songs: Sounds From the Big House, Suck on the Honey of Love, The Man with the Golden Arm

Nothing wrong with this album, but this is pretty run of the mill punk music. Not for me Favorite Song: Come Out and Play

Basically just feels like an early Beatles album. It's fine, and there are some good hooks here, but not much feels all that unique. Favorite Song: Oo You, Maybe I'm Amazed

I hate how much I liked this. The guitar is killing it throughout, and I kind of love how British this is. The lyrics are a crime, but I think they're kind of fun. Favorite Songs: Wake Up and Make Love with Me, If I Was With a Woman, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

Way too much organ on this one. I liked Green Onions but quickly grew bored of the rest of it. Favorite Song: Green Onions

One of the best albums from the Queen of Pop. Different from her other stuff, but still great. Side note: The fact that Madonna only has two albums on this list is criminal. And one of the two is Music?! True Blue? Confessions on a Dance Floor? Favorite Songs: Ray of Light, Shanti, Frozen, To Have and Not to Hold

Just a ton of fun, and great cover art to boot. Favorite Songs: Tropicalia, Clarice

Giving this a 1 or 2 is crazy. At worst, this album is just fine. I loved it though. Could definitely see myself throwing it on again. Favorite Songs: Stop Dem, Bow, Monsters, Miracles, Hold Me

Groovy

Very British. Reminded me a lot of the parts of the good parts of the Beatles. Favorite Songs: Victoria, Yes Sir No Sir, Shangri-La

Every song was super repetitive. Enjoyable enough, but nothing super notable Favorite Songs: What You Need, Spoilt Victorian Child

I'm sure this is way better than I give it credit for, but it just didn't grab me on my listen. Favorite Song: Part IV - Psalm

What a great time. Favorite Songs: How Blue Can You Get?, Please Love Me

It's just fine. Not for me, but not as despicable and awful as a lot the other reviews seem to imply. Favorite Song: Mr. Harris

Every song sounded pretty similar. Didn't hate it, but not sure I'd ever listen to this again

Like always, I hear a few songs I like and think maybe I was too harsh on him. Then, then album keeps dragging on forever Favorite Songs: Subterranean Homesick Blue, Maggie's Farm

This could've absolutely gotten a worse review if it wasn't so lovely out when I was listening. Even with that, it still felt pretty one note. Favorite Song: Big Sur

Kanye gets no money from me

Better as background music than stuff you listen to actively. Still pretty fun though Favorite Song: Praise You

Indie Rock to chill and study Favorite Song: Electronic Renaissance, I Could Be Dreaming

After Country Life, I was vaguely excited to listen to this one. Unfortunately, this one is just plain boring

Was pretty excited for this at the start, but soured on it as the album continued. I liked albums that are this short, but these songs were all nothing Favorite Songs: Everybody Knows (Except You), If I Were You (I'd Be Through With Me)

DO YOU HAVE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ME WHINE Never listened to much Green Day. I was missing out Favorite Songs: Burnout, Basket Case, She

A pretty top tier album to run to. Didn't think this type of music would be my style, but it's an excellent album Favorite Songs: Running Free, Charlotte the Harlot

One half of this album is great and the other half varies from fine to terrible (looking at you, Revolution No.9). It really is just way too long, and the Beatles have other, more consistent albums that are easier to recommend and enjoy. Favorite Songs: Back in the U.S.S.R, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Mother Nature's Son

The energy was great and the samples were really fun, but I sadly just wasn't that into it. Favorite Songs: Shake your Rump, Looking Down the Barrell of a Gun

He is pleasant enough in small doses, but this is just too much concentrated Marvin Gaye. Monotonous and boring

A pretty exhausting listen. Found myself checking how far along I was before the second song even finished. Just way too long Favorite Song: Moon in June

Haven't really listened to a lot of Reggae, but I really liked this. Hard to imagine what the original mix of this would have sounded like Favorite Songs: The Invasion, Marcus Garvey

Not a lot to say. Good enough Favorite Songs: Kid, The Wait, Mystery Achievement

One hit song does not make a good album. Favorite Song: Karma Chameleon

So much fun. Had me dancing around the kitchen while listening to this. How can you not like Stevie Wonder? Favorite Songs: Smile Please, Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away, You Haven't Done Nothin

I definitely don't think this is Kendrick's best, but it's still pretty good Favorite Song: Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe

I don't think reggae is really my thing, but I can respect the talent necessary to make it Favorite Song: Stop that Train

Should probably give this a relisten later down the line, but this just didn't do very much for me on the first listen. It was enjoyable enough though

Easily my favorite Pink Floyd album, and probably their best. Not a single song I would skip. It's hard to put into words how much I love this album, but it's definitely in my top 5. Favorite Songs: Shine on You Crazy Diamond (1-5) & (5-9), Have a Cigar

I'm sorry Iron Maiden. I wasn't familiar with your game. I get why Ralph Fines rocked out so hard to this album Favorite Songs: Children of the Damned, The Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, Hallowed Be Thy Name

I don't remember this at all, and I'm pretty sure I listened all the way through.

Really easy music to listen to, but nothing blew me away. Just enjoyable, quiet folk music Favorite Song: I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry, Sweet Jane

I had literally no clue what they were saying, but it was a really fun time. I'd be a little surprised if this sticks around in newer versions of this list, but it's so unique and definitely not something I would have listened to without this list. Favorite Songs: Soubour, Al Hassidi Terei

Yeah, whatever. The most middle of the road album imaginable. Nothing offensively bad, but nothing great either Favorite Song: Spring Heeled Jim, Speedway

Sorry, but I love The Flaming Lips. Totally get the complaints about Wayne Coyne's vocals, but I won't apologize. Not my favorite album of theirs, but still pretty good Favorite Songs: Race for the Prize, A Spoonful Weighs a Ton, The Spiderbite Song, What is the Light?

Oh no this is bad

A little silly, but this is just too much fun Favorite Songs: Da Mystery of Chessboxin', Tearz

I liked the pink parts of this, but not the math rock parts. Just too long and too boring Favorite Song: Breadcrumb Trail

It was really nice Bossa Nova, but I can't say I remember all that much of it. Great lounge music, not great music to actively listen to.

Unfortunately, I just wasn't in the mood to listen to this at the time. It's really my style of hip-hop and maybe I'd love it another time. Acetate Prophets was awesome though Favorite Songs: Freedom, What's Golden, One of Them, Acetate Prophets

I really wanted to give this a fair chance, and was kind of into parts of it at first, but it very quickly got on my nerves. If this is their "most accessible" album, I'm afraid of their other music. Favorite Song: Dracula Mountain

I'M SO BORED

This album was definitely helped by my mood this morning. Feeling kinda sleepy with it raining outside made this exactly what I wanted to hear. I didn't even notice that it was 70 minutes long until near the very end, which normally would really bother me. A really pleasant listen Favorite Songs: ... & On, Orange Moon, Time's A Wastin

Really didn't rate this album as very much on a first listen, but Fiona Apple's voice is gorgeous and she shows it all over this one Favorite Songs: Slow Like Honey, Shadowboxer

A very very fun time. No songs stood out, but great background music to have on while having fun with friends.

Horribly dated. Even Q-Tip couldn't save this one.

Some great songs in here, but I really don't think I'd come back to this one. Just listen to the hits and skip the rest. Favorite Songs: Gimme Three Steps, Free Bird

Whatever. I didn't hate their sound, but there wasn't a single song that actually stood out

Milquetoast. Feels like this should be playing quietly in the background while people are talking. Favorite Songs: Love the One You're With, We Are Not Helpless

A very fun time. The music feels very lively and would probably be great to see live. However, doesn't really have anything exceptional going on. Favorite Songs: Music When the Lights Go Out, The Saga, Narcissist

Not a single song on here is a miss. Just really consistent, great music Favorite Songs: Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels), Neighborhood #3 (Power Out), Wake Up

As always, some really iconic songs. Just hard to get past the pedophelia. Additionally, I don't love Michael Jackson enough to really ever want to listen to a full album. Everything starts to blur together. Favorite Songs: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Rock with You

It's Frank Sinatra. Pretty one note, but at worst it's great background music for a dinner party. I definitely would've liked a little more range, but he's just so talented. Favorite Songs: Ill Wind, What is This Thing Called Love

Liked that more than I thought I would. Very spaceage and strange. Not quite background music, but so unique I have to give it credit Favorite Songs: Spacelab, Metropolis

Vibes - Impeccable Drums - Groovy Energy - Funky So danceable, it's impossible to have a bad time while listening to this. Favorite Song: Ginger Baker And Tony Allen Drum Solo

This album comes in so strong and grabs your attention. What a great example of Latin Rock. Easy 5 Favorite Songs: Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen, Singing Winds, Crying Beasts, Oye Como Va, El Nlcoya

I'm sorry Sara. Joan has a lovely voice, but I don't find her music particularly interesting. Favorite Songs: House of the Rising Sun

I knew coming into this how much I love Deacon Blues but generally just find Steely Dan fine. Despite that, this is peak yacht rock. I should be on a boat in Lake Michigan drinking in the summer while listening to this. The production is also just immaculate Favorite Songs: Aja, Deacon Blues, Peg

Eh. Pretty generic, but not bad Favorites Song: She Talks to Angels

There are moments of In A Silent Way that are excellent, but too much of this sounds like elevator music. The songs just kind of meander Favorite Song: In A Silent Way

The ratio of songs to hits is ludicrous for this album. It's crazy how good this is. There's a reason almost everyone has heard over half the songs from this album. Even the stuff that isn't as well known is still great. Favorite Songs: Go Your Own Way, You Make Loving Fun, The Chain, Second Hand News

I find that I oscillate in my opinion on Neil Young, but I was pretty into this album. Some really good country rock songs. Favorite Songs: Down By The River, Cowgirl In The Sand

There's a reason the only song I heard out of this album was Our House, and it will likely be the only one I hear again. Everything here feels very cartoonish Favorite Songs: Blue Skinned Beast, Our House

I would genuinely like some of these songs if it wasn't for the vocals. The strange high pitch and noises really grate. Others are just irredeemably bad

Enjoyable enough lounge music. Nothing really of note here, but pleasant and easy to listen to Favorite Song: Don't Know Why

Struggling to come up with anything to say about this. It's good jazz. Not much else to say. Favorite Song: Bird Land

Very safe rock music. I don't hate listening to it by any means, but I'd never come back to it. Nothing all that interesting here Favorite Songs: Detroit Rock City, God of Thunder

I knew what my favorite songs were before starting this album (except for The Are Night Zombies!). I honestly just wish this album was a bit shorter and I'd be much more positive towards it. Favorite Songs: Chicago, Casimir Pulaski Day, They Are Night Zombies!

This really is just Bowie in a trench coat. Unfortunately, this is a little closer to Low than Station to Station, which I just don't care about very much. Favorite Songs: Sister Midnight, Nightclubbing

I don't love this style of rap that uses samples from kung-fu movies, but the flow is great. Ended up enjoying this way more than I thought I would Favorite Songs: Liquid Swords, Gold, Shadowboxin'

I knew this was a 5 before starting. I love the Flaming Lips and this is absolutely one of their best albums. Favorite Songs: One More Robot / Sympathy 3000-21, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt.1, In the Morning of the Magicians

Boring blues rock. These guys only ever have 1-2 good songs mixed in with so much boring filler Favorite Song: Street Fighting Man, Factory Girl

Had too much fun listening to this to not a favorite song, but this whole album was a great time

Marvin Gaye made exactly one song and called it an album. Pleasant to listen to, but just so boring. Favorite Song: Let's Get It On

Immensely fun pub music. May have been a little long, but I did listen to the extended version. Took me a song or two to get into it, but by the end I was very into it Favorite Songs: Fairytale of New York, Medley: The Recruiting Sergeant, Sit Down By The Fire

Enjoyable and lots of fun ideas, but not quite special enough to get a 5 Favorite Song: Time Between, Everybody's Been Burned, It Happens Each Day

It's honestly probably a 3, but I'm not in the best mood and this was so unremarkable Favorite Songs: Die For Your Memory, Streets of Your Town

Just good classic country. They're all so talented. I wish they all let their strengths show a little more, but it's hard not to like this Favorite Songs: To Know Him Is To Love Him

Wow I loved that. Shirley Manson had me singing along with her the whole time. Great combo of pop and alternative Favorite Songs: Queer, As Heaven Is Wide, Vow, My Lover's Box

A whole lot of guitar noodling. Not bad guitar noodling, but not really what I want to listen to for a full album Favorite Songs: Who Do You Love (Part 2), Calvary

I guess I'm just really in a punk/alternative mood right now. Incredibly fun time. Glam/punk is a genre I should check out more Favorite Songs: Subway Train, Pills, Jet Boy

Bitter Sweet Symphony is so good, and most of the rest of it is so not. Just way too long Favorite Songs: Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work, Come On/ Deep Freeze

Went into this thinking this was near the bottom of the original 4 Led Zeppelin albums, but was hoping it would change my mind. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Still really good, but just not as great as IV and II. Favorite Songs: Immigrant Song, Friends, Gallows Pole

Pretty fun rock album. Like that one reviewer said, though, the guitars have some pretty terrible mixing/recording, despite them being great. Favorite Songs: Back In the Saddle, Nobody's Fault, Get The Lead Out

Despite making me want to go to a lounge to drink whiskey at 2am, this album doesn't go anywhere itself. It's not bad, but it becomes background music relatively quickly. Billie Holiday's voice is hauntingly gorgeous Favorite Song: I'm a Fool To Want You, The End of A Love Affair

I hate that I can't hate this album. I was expecting to only like Seven Nation's Army, but this album has a pretty great energy. A bit too long and some songs are a miss, but it surprisingly rocks. Favorite Songs: Seven Nation's Army, I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself, Little Acorns

Not really this album's fault, but I've heard this music so many times before. Absolutely nothing stood out, despite having promise at the very beginning

This wasn't exceptional, but it was so different enough to keep it interesting. Favorite Songs: Step On

I remember liking Rock Lobster a lot more than this... The whole album feels like it's trying really hard to have fun, but I'm just not convinced Favorite Songs: 6060-842

A great compilation of songs. Excellent voice, and kept it pretty fresh throughout. I'd love to understand what she's saying, but that's more of a me problem Favorite Songs: Sai Dessa, Aprendendo a Jogar

Ummm not sure how to feel about this. A nice change of pace, but far from standout. I think The Man-Machine was more inventive and interesting, although Europe Endless was an excellent starting song for this. Maybe just a bit too repetitive for me Favorite Songs: Europe Endless, Trans-Europe Express

I gave this two listens and, while it does rock, I just don't know how much I love this. It's objectively pretty fun, but I don't think I'd ever come back, and a lot of the songs do kind of blend together. Favorite Songs: Heard it Through the Grapevine, Ramble Tamble

YEAH FAIRIES WEAR BOOTS AND YOU'VE GOTTA BELIEVE ME Favorite Songs: War Pigs / Luke's Wall, Paranoid, Planet Caravan, Jack The Stripper / Fairies Wear Boots

The most 3/5 album of all time. Not much to note, but pleasant enough. Favorite Song: Do You Wanna Dance, California Dreamin'

The first half of this was just unrelenting noise, and the second half had some more typical Jazz fare. I didn't hate the first half like some, but I also wasn't that blown away. Favorite Songs: Enfant, Ecars, Feet Music
