I liked it, but wouldn't bother to revisit it. Not really my style.

I forgot how good this album was...
Leonard Cohen

The Beach Boys

T. Rex
4/5
Some good tune can be found here.
Stan Getz
3/5
Not really my style, but I'm glad I listened to it.
The La's
4/5
Nas
3/5
I thought I would hate this, but I can understand the appeal.
Miles Davis
2/5
I tried. I'm not going to pretend to like this just to look cultured though.
Taylor Swift
1/5
Made it two songs in. Just can't...
Joni Mitchell
3/5
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
Little Richard
2/5
Shack
2/5
Pretty unremarkable really...
Jefferson Airplane
3/5
Nina Simone
3/5
Cocteau Twins
4/5
Not a 5 for me, and lots of me wants to put it in the middle as a 3, but something pushed it to a 4.
Doves
2/5
Led Zeppelin
4/5
The Band
3/5
Lots of great songs with a fair bit of filler.
Keith Jarrett
3/5
Fela Kuti
4/5
My Bloody Valentine
4/5
Ministry
4/5
Surprised at how much I liked this...
Alanis Morissette
3/5
Nearly a 4, but it doesn't hold up as well as I thought it would.
The Velvet Underground
5/5
Arctic Monkeys
4/5
Nearly went with a 3, but pushed it to a 4. It's quite enjoyable.
The Strokes
3/5
Beatles
4/5
Only a 4 because it's far from the Beatles at their best.
The Sonics
4/5
Love the Sonics
The Monks
2/5
It's just not very good... there's much better 60's garage and proto-punk out there.
The Only Ones
4/5
Never heard these guys before. I liked it.
Boston
3/5
Pretty generic really.
David Bowie
4/5
Not Bowie's best work, but still very good.
Sepultura
3/5
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Neil Young
5/5
Not his best, but still 5 starts.
Laura Nyro
2/5
Orbital
3/5
I wanted to give this a 2 because it's really not for me, but I'm pushing it to a 3. Although it's not my style, something in it made me not hate it, and that's actually a pretty good effort.
Massive Attack
2/5
I am not the target audience here...
Joanna Newsom
1/5
Maybe I'm not getting something here, but I can't see the appeal in this music at all.
Hole
4/5
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Lana Del Rey
2/5
Still not my style. This is better than other artists of a similar style, but it's just not for me.
Black Sabbath
5/5
John Lennon
4/5
While there are some great songs here, the record kind of just melts into the background. I know why it's a great album, and I can hear it, but nothing really grabbed me.
Neil Young
5/5
Drive-By Truckers
3/5
Going with a 3 here. I like the music, but do we need a 90 minutes about Lynyrd Skynyrd and the politics of the south in the 70's?
Louis Prima
4/5
Garbage
3/5
Pretty good, but nothing I'd really come back to.
Joy Division
5/5
Fever Ray
2/5
Didn't hate it as much as I thought I would.
The Last Shadow Puppets
3/5
Meh. I'm often not interested in super groups that just together for an album or two.
Judas Priest
4/5
Slint
1/5
While I usually like art rock and things like that, this just goes into the background without much interest.
Hüsker Dü
3/5
Why this Husker Du album? They have better work and Warehouse is just too bloody long for this type of music... A generous 3.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
3/5
I wish I could get more out of albums like this, but I'm not going to rate this higher just to be more sophisticated.
Bad Brains
4/5
A Tribe Called Quest
3/5
I'm not a fan of a lot of hip-hop, but I quite liked this. I like the more minimal beats. Nothing really stand out though so I'm keeping it at a 3.
Brian Wilson
4/5
Talking Heads
2/5
I just don't get Talking Heads. I try because they're one of those bands you're supposed to like, and I just can't do it.
CHIC
2/5
Tracy Chapman
4/5
R.E.M.
4/5
The Cardigans
2/5
Eh...
Fleetwood Mac
2/5
So boring...
The Cure
4/5
Van Morrison
3/5
Middle of the road rating for a middle of the road album.
The Stranglers
4/5
The Byrds
4/5
Surprisingly good.
Radiohead
1/5
Seriously, what am I missing about Radiohead? I can't understand how anyone listens to this...
Youssou N'Dour
3/5
John Martyn
2/5
Not for me.
CHIC
1/5
Very repetitive. "Good Times" is okay, but pretty standard disco.
Nine Inch Nails
3/5
Brian Eno
2/5
Never understood the Talking Heads and this is just David Byrne going even further.
Muddy Waters
4/5
R.E.M.
4/5
The Rolling Stones
3/5
This is getting a generous 3 because of the influence. The Stones have much better and more creative work.
Cheap Trick
1/5
Nah. I don't mind Cheap Trick (although not a real fan either), but the quality of the recording wasn't very good and the sound of the crowd was annoying. I don't get the point of this album.
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
I'm not the biggest fan of funk, but this was pretty good. Easy 4.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Nearly a 5. When it hits, it hits well, but the few songs that aren't bangers really drag it down.
Traffic
2/5
Slipknot
3/5
I like a fair amount of heavy music, but generally not Nu Metal. I actually liked this, but will probably not come back to it.
Green Day
5/5
Taylor Swift
1/5
eh
TV On The Radio
3/5
I enjoyed the first half, but it started to meander too much in the second half.
Jane's Addiction
3/5
OK, but forgettable. I've heard Jane's Addiction before and never really cared. Still don't.
The Pogues
4/5
Some very very good songs here, but when they try to branch out from the formula they fail. Otherwise this would have been an easy 5.
Elvis Presley
3/5
Not Elvis at his best. Feels over produced.
Ali Farka Touré
3/5
I don't really know about this type of music to make an assessment.
Joni Mitchell
3/5
Barry Adamson
3/5
I'm surprised I didn't hate this... It does tend to blend into the background though, which I think may have been the point. But I'm not likely to come back to this album.
The Coral
2/5
Pretty ordinary honestly
Prince
4/5
Quite good, but feels like there's a bit of filler in there. The album doesn't need to be this long.
R.E.M.
4/5
Brian Eno
2/5
The Darkness
5/5
It's just full of bangers...
2/5
I found this music boring and uninspiring when it was first popular and still do.
The Cult
2/5
Muddy Waters
5/5
Nearly only gave it a 4, but yeah, it's too good so it's a 5.
Isaac Hayes
3/5
A very generous 3. The music is good, the production is good, but at the end of the day, it's the score to a film.
Willie Nelson
4/5
3/5
UB40
3/5
Pleasantly surprised here, even though the style wasn't really for me.
Love
2/5
Pretty bland, honestly. I'm assuming these guys were so influential to the point that they sound stereotypical of their own sound, but I still don't dig it.
ZZ Top
3/5
The Rolling Stones
5/5
Jack White
4/5
Black Sabbath
5/5
Classic.
2/5
Circle Jerks
4/5
Radiohead
1/5
Suzanne Vega
2/5
I find music like this kind of boring. Couldn't get into it.
Johnny Cash
5/5
Dolly Parton
3/5
I like country music, but generally not popular country. But Dolly is a treasure.
Van Morrison
2/5
Just confirming my thoughts that I find Van Morrison boring.
Rod Stewart
3/5
Arcade Fire
2/5
The Black Keys
4/5
A bit of a reluctant 4. I've nearly gone with a 3 because I feel like there's a lot in this album that feels like filler, but the general vibe is good enough for a 4.
Rage Against The Machine
4/5
X-Ray Spex
5/5
X-Ray Spex are possibly my favourite punk band.
King Crimson
2/5
Grateful Dead
4/5
Bob Dylan
5/5

Nirvana
5/5
Easy.
Rush
2/5
Eagles
3/5
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
5/5
Derek & The Dominos
3/5
Some good songs, but as usual Clapton has a couple good tracks and the rest is forgettable.
The Cult
2/5
Madness
3/5
The only decent songs on this album are about houses... Would be a 2, but the house songs are quite good.
U2
1/5
Iggy Pop
5/5
Joe Ely
5/5
Surprised I haven't heard of this guy before. Love it.
Guns N' Roses
4/5
I'm going to go with a 4, although somewhat reluctantly. It's not an album I reach for when I want to rock out, but I can appreciate the point of it.
Nick Drake
2/5
Electric Light Orchestra
4/5
Pleasantly surprised. Never really rated ELO. Now I do.
The Clash
4/5
Roxy Music
3/5
I like Roxy Music better than Brian Eno's solo work but less than Bryan Ferry's solo work. But I suppose Eno wasn't involved in this one, so perhaps that's why I didn't mind this...
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Bebel Gilberto
2/5
Although I appreciate the craft here, this type of music slides into the background and I don't actually listen to it.
Herbie Hancock
3/5
The Psychedelic Furs
3/5
I quite liked this album but nothing really stood out.
Coldcut
2/5
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
Getting a 3 cuz it's Simon and Garfunkel. They've done much better and more interesting work than this though.
Rush
2/5
Peter Frampton
2/5
Why was this such a big selling album? I'm not seeing anything special about it.
David Bowie
3/5
Michael Kiwanuka
3/5
Pleasantly surprised, however got a little bored towards the end.
Meat Loaf
4/5
Thin Lizzy
2/5
It's a "no" from me. Since it was recorded across so many different dates and overdubbed so heavily, this is essentially just a greatest hits record. I don't mind Thin Lizzy, but I think this goes against the spirit of live recordings.
Korn
1/5
Dinosaur Jr.
4/5
Mj Cole
1/5
Eric Clapton
2/5
Pretty mediocre all up...
Metallica
2/5
Yes
3/5
Meh. Middle of the road.
Lightning Bolt
3/5
Pretty interesting. It takes understanding and skill to not make this sort of thing sound terrible. I quite liked this, but likely won't be coming back to it.
Leftfield
1/5
Yeah, I'm not listening to two hours of this...

This should be an easy 4, but a third of the album is a 10 minute song... lots of good, but plenty of filler for such a short album.
Afrika Bambaataa
1/5
Wild Beasts
2/5
James Brown

Sparks
2/5
Herbie Hancock
4/5
Aretha Franklin
3/5
I wish I could give this a 4, but beyond the obvious hit, it's a bit repetitive and really only has Aretha's voice holding it up.
King Crimson
2/5
Tom Waits
5/5
I forgot how good this album is...
Queen
4/5
Gang Starr
3/5
Beatles
4/5
The album deserves a 3, +2 for Beatles, -1 for being the Beatles not at their best. That equals 4.
The Doors
4/5
Gonna go with a 4. There's some very good music here, but it all feels like it's trying too hard.
Beastie Boys
4/5
I wanna give this a 3, but it's a 4.
808 State
3/5
Pleasantly surprised...
Wilco
3/5
It's a good album but it kind of just melts into the background.
Hugh Masekela
2/5
Throbbing Gristle
1/5
At the time of writing, this is the lowest rated album on here. "How bad could it be?" I thought. It was that bad.
Jeru The Damaja
3/5
The Byrds
3/5
I should like the Byrds more but I don't.
Public Enemy

Simple Minds
1/5

Van Halen
2/5
Didn't enjoy this at all.
Slipknot
2/5
Carole King
3/5
I can understand the appeal here, but I find thing kind of music kind of boring.
Blood, Sweat & Tears
4/5
I listened to the wrong album at first and didn't like it. I quite enjoyed listening to the correct album though!

2/5
Not really my thing.
The Pharcyde
3/5
Good at what it is, but not my style.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
5/5
Coldplay
2/5
I find Coldplay exceptionally boring and one dimensional. But not as bad as U2.
Gene Clark
4/5
Quite nice. Nothing stood out too much, but I quite enjoyed it.
The Lemonheads
3/5
Beck
4/5
Moby
1/5
Sweet, let's sample some blues music and loop that with a dance beat.
Elvis Costello
3/5
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Pink Floyd
4/5
A slightly resistant 4.
Where it hits, it really hits, but it's very long and feels like a lot of filler, which was making me think give it a 3. But there are enough iconic tunes in here to give it a 4.
David Holmes
1/5
How painfully boring...
The Divine Comedy
3/5
I mostly liked this, but I feel like this sort of thing has been done better by others without the cheese.
The Velvet Underground
4/5
Great album.
Common
1/5
I couldn't get through it. I don't mind hip-hop, but I didn't enjoy this at all.
2/5
I would like this album more if someone said "hey, have a listen to this, it's interesting." I don't think it's an album I need to hear before I die.
Fleet Foxes
3/5
Beastie Boys

I guess I really like MGMT. Didn't know that.

Why is this here?
Peter Tosh
3/5
Booker T. & The MG's
3/5
If it wasn't such a classic and influential sound this would be 2 stars.
