Hasn't aged all that well, but some great tunes. Might have given it 5 stars except for the terrible first song "Invaders."

Hasn't aged at all well. A mix of silly pop songs and white boys trying to sing the blues.

Really liked this. Didn't know much about the Cure before but found it really interesting and atmospheric.

Decent pop singer songwriter stuff. Not really my thing but some huge hits. Would have given it a neutral 3 stars except that her whiny nasal voice really started to grate by the end!

Electronica for middle aged middle class White people, but some super catchy tunes in the first half of the album. Gets a bit generic ambient towards the end.

The point at which Metallica shift from a metal band to a stadium rock band? Some great songs (that have been overplayed to death) and some filler. Metallica lyrics are always pretty stupid but here it seems like they're trying to be deep but failing massively.

I tried to give it my best shot but I just really didn't enjoy this at all. I'm sure at the time a woman singing about being empowered sexually was unusual and ground-breaking...but the music did nothing for me.

Had never heard of this band... Heard that it was Americana which sounds like something I would like. In the end it was decent but it didn't really grab me.

Hadn't listened to this in ages. Forgot just how good it was. Great proggy rock.

Didn't really get into this at all. Quite background-y. Maybe if I knew more about hip-hop I would be more impressed?

I'd never really listened to Patti Smith before but I liked this a lot. A little punky, a little Doors-y.

Some interesting stuff but a lot of funk-disco jams. Kind of liked it but it didn't grab me.

I enjoyed this. It was some fun kind of pop rock and roll. I don't really understand why it's in the 1001 albums list though? Was tossing up between 3 and 4 stars but gave it 4 because I really liked Watching The Defectives.

Hasn't aged that well but I suspect inspired a lot of 80s hair metal. Some great cheesy tunes.

I really liked this. Poignant and sad in places but really good.

Probably quite influential on all the garage rock bands of the noughties but I didn't find it all that exciting.

Some great songs in amongst a bloated concept album that probably isn't quite as clever as Pink Floyd think it is. Gave it 4 for the classic songs but someone really should have had a word.

Well this was very country. The older I get the more I like folksy/country music. This was a bit twangy yee-haw for me but I didn't hate it. I was surprised it was as recent as 1965.

I'd heard of Adam and the Ants before but never actually heard them. Not what I was expecting but also not very exciting. Kind of standard 80s glam rock/new wave?

I was really excited when I saw this come up as I've never listened to much Aretha Franklin but I was kind of disappointed. Her voice is amazing but the songs never grabbed me and her version of Drown In My Own Tears was kind of meh.

I've never listened to this album, but I liked it a lot. Almost gave it 5 stars. I didn't think the "hit" songs on this were as good as their best but a consistently enjoyable album.

I liked this a lot but didn't love it - very short and a little too background-y in places.

Bluesy rock is a genre I normally really like but this didn't really grab me.

Nick Cave: "I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers." Did I expect to enjoy this? No. Did I go in with preconceived expectations? Yes. I just don't get what people see in the RHCP. It's like someone took an annoying high school white boy funk band and decided what they really needed was a super-whiny singer. I thought Give It Away was about a bad a song as they could make... But then the next song was even worse!

Didn't love this on a first listen but it kind of grew on me. Was tossing up between 3 and 4 stars.

Not quite a 5 for me. Some great songs (I'm on Fire, Dancing in the Dark) but also a lot of fine but not exciting pop-rock filler (Darlington County, Working on the Highway).

I liked the song Aqualung in all its creepy glory, but the rest of the album was a bit samey/generic folk rock to me. Cool flute-ness but nothing really caught me.

A few great songs and a few that drag a bit. I really liked Sin City and their version of Do Right Woman.

I loved the title track and I enjoyed the one about the steam train. I really wanted to like the rest but I just never really got into it.

I think a later poppier MSP CD might have been my first ever album. Interesting to listen to their punkier stuff. I liked a few songs but found most of it wasn't very catchy.

I haven't listened to this for ages but what a weird concept and what a cool album. June Carter's voice on Jackson is really something else!

Some interesting pop-blues-rock. I really liked 4 or 5 of the tracks and then some of the others were pretty meh.

I really like this album. Bluesy proggy rock but with a Latin twist. Great cover of Black Magic Woman and I really like Oye Como Va and Samba Pa Ti.

Tossing up between a 3 and 4 but probably just a 4 from me. Some cool sounds and tunes and I like the singer's voice a lot. Some filler too.

You can definitely see where they were going with this but I didn't find anything as good as later CSN/Neil Young songs.

Meh, sounded like pretty generic hip-hop. Wasn't a fan.

Basic bitch pop rock but very well done, some very good songs. Given how good their best songs are it baffles me how much complete dross U2 have put out.

Generic clubby dance music. Maybe this is wildly significant and important but if it is, it's lost on me! Some nostalgia but mostly just kind of annoying. Would have been better without the obnoxious auto-tune.

I really liked the vibe of the first few songs when I listened - a bit Beck meets Bill Callaghan. Ended up quite liking it, but even after a couple of listens nothing really grabbed me.

I have Joy Division's other album on CD but had never heard most of this. I really liked it. Not always the easiest thing to listen to, but interesting and different.

I liked this album quite a lot and was tossing up giving it 5 stars. In the end I didn't think there quite enough killer songs for 5.

I like the style of music and I like a lot of the songs...but for some reason I wasn't a massive fan of these versions of these songs. Didn't love the singer's voice and a lot of the songs felt quite slow and laboured.

I didn't love her voice which I found quite nasally. None of the songs really caught my attention. Basically I didn't really like it, although I thought some of the backing music was quite cool.

I liked bits of this, but other bits drifted. I've listened to another Jane's Addiction album which seemed a bit more focused.

I thought I really liked this album but actually when I listened to it this time I didn't love it quite as much. Still very good though!

Liked the first couple of songs a lot but nothing after that really grabbed me.

I really liked this. More than I expected to. Nice to go back to a 30- something minute album rather than 1 hour +.

Meh, pretty generic punk. I guess this was influential in some way? Didn't love it.

What if we take all the genres of music we know about and put them on one album?! Not what I was expecting at all. I quite liked it but nothing really grabbed me.

A weird hodge podge of not very interesting songs. I thought I would like this. I didn't.
