I love this. I think Sinatra is pretty underrated. And this is one of his better albums I think, I love the Latin influence and the cool lounge feel. Makes me feel like I'm in a cabana bar in Palm Beach in the 60s. Definitely kinda cheesy and I could see how this wouldn't be someone else's cup of tea but honestly I'll probably go back to this album for this specific vibe. Love Sinatra. love cheesy lounge music. love subtle Latin cultural appropriation.

Amazing, top 5 live recording all time for me. Absolutely cemented their legacy and music as a whole is different without this album. Hot take: Best Nirvana Album?

Trip Hop is weird. Probably going for Portishead over this. Seems like they found their sound more on Mezzanine and this is closer to generic trip Hop. Still decently enjoyable in the background

Amazing. One of the best singing voices of all time and incredibly political songs. Such a strong and important performer. Might need to finally deep dive her whole discography. The Story of OJ sample and the Lilac Wine cover were fun to hear too

I wish I liked this more but these songs are just so ubiquitous to the point they feel cliche even though he's the originator. Still an enjoyable listen but just songs that have been over played and have crept in everywhere in pop culture for 50 years

Hard to review this it's definitely fun. I'm not sure where I have it ranked in the beastie boys discography maybe 2nd? What an interesting discography and well curated legacy and this album does a lot to cement that. Love the addition of punk tracks and Sabotage is iconic.

I always forget about the Stones. This was a very enjoyable listen, kicks off the string of 4 really great all time albums from them. Loose and fun rock n roll. Sympathy for the devil is one of the best songs of all time

Always avoided Common because his aesthetic seemed kind of corny to me. I've been sleeping on this it's great! Solid production from early era Kanye West on this. And Common is a more than capable MC. Crazy that Common got to work with peak era J Dilla and Peak Era Kanye West.

Not my favorite Dylan record but a clear improvement over his debut and kicks off one of the best and most consistent album runs on music history for Dylan from 1963-1966 with Dylan Releasing 6 albums in 3 years all of which are bonafide folk music classics. Blowin in the wind, girl from the North Country, and Don't think Twice it's alright are all incredible and really no duds on this album he just evolves to get even better over the next three years.

Definitely not their best, but a fun record that is a bit of a transition from what Kyuss was into what queens of the stoneage would be. Enjoyable jammy, desert/stoner ROCK.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's Debut and probably their best. 4 Iconic singles, three of which are ballads which is interesting. I feel like Sweet Home Alabama has become their true legacy song but Free Bird is obviously iconic and the solo section does hold up as overdone as it is. Gimme three steps is a classic and what I think of when I think of Lynyrd Skynyrd Sound. Tuesdays Gone and Simple Man are underrated. Solid Southern Rock album from legends of the Genre.

Never really got into The Doors...didn't really get this album. It doesn't seem like their best. I guess it's a vibe, but I found it pretty uninspired and would probably put on Strange Days or their debut before going back to this.

Not my favorite Zeppelin. Though Since I've been loving you and that's the way we're highlights on here that I forgot about. Oh and immigrant song is pretty awesome. One and two and 4 are just so consistent and physical graffiti and houses of the holy also have more bangers.

Probably the most I've ever enjoyed listening to this album. The production is very consistent and fun and obviously way ahead of its time. And a huge leap creatively and artistically from their debut. However, this is just never gonna be my favorite beastie boys album it lacks the great singles that other albums have and I'd rather have a little more chaos and adventurous sounds to have those banger singles rather than this album which is tighter and more consistent but lacks singles and is less quirky and all over the place. Important for their catalogue and important for rap in general and I kinda get why it's everyone else's favorite but it won't ever be mine.

Nick Cave Rules. Never listened to this one before it was a cool concept and fits his style perfectly. Duets with PJ Harvey and Kylie Minogue were cool and the Bob Dylan Cover at the end with all the different singers was a perfect cap. Probably not the best Nick Cave Album but a fun listen and something I'll probably go back to.

Lou Reed is so fucking cool. The Beatles are the most important band in history but I think Velvet Underground are the coolest band in history. I have no idea how they invented this sound, kinda glad it was such a pressure cooker/flash in the pan that just went on to live out forever in numerous influences, most nakedly and I think maybe my favorite in Jonathan Richman/the Modern Lovers, though I think it's fair to say literally thousands of bands built on this sound and aesthetic. But also thankful that we got all of Lou Reeds wild and wacky solo career. Pale Blue Eyes is a top 40 all time song for me and for some reason I was immediately compelled to put it on my funeral playlist. Not a band song on the album I don't think but beginning to see the light is also great. Huge pavement influence heard very clearly on The Murder Mystery.

God I wish I could unheard this and have the joy of hearing it again for the first time. Simply one of the most original documents of music of the past 25 years. I can't believe that after 16 years wildflower was nearly as good as this album. What a joyous, wonderful, fun, unique album.

This is great. I learned about it from the prominent feature of El Paso on Breaking Bad and I've listened through this album a few times before. super consistent from start to finish and I know it went on to be a pretty influential album in the genre. I would love to know what Marty Robbins contemporaries sounded like and what the landscape of country and western music was when this was released in 1959.

Yeah this is great. I like that it's live and just a beautiful set of live blues from one of the masters of the genre.

This is fine. Kinda surprised I didn't enjoy it more since it's his album right after on the beach which I love. Lookout Joe was a high light but in general I'm not sure why I'm reaching for this over after the goldrush or on the beach. It's kinda nice to just hang out with this album for 45 minutes and if I listened to it a few more times I think I'd get more attached. But bit of a miss for me from Neil.

I love this. I think Sinatra is pretty underrated. And this is one of his better albums I think, I love the Latin influence and the cool lounge feel. Makes me feel like I'm in a cabana bar in Palm Beach in the 60s. Definitely kinda cheesy and I could see how this wouldn't be someone else's cup of tea but honestly I'll probably go back to this album for this specific vibe. Love Sinatra. love cheesy lounge music. love subtle Latin cultural appropriation.

SOOOOOO melodramatic. Much more R&B and much less pop than I anticipated. I'd have to listen through her discography to know if this is actually her best, but that seems to be the consensus. This sounded fresh and unique 20 years later and a direction pop music just didn't go. Really consistent production through out and just an incredible voice.

Is this Pink Floyd's best album? Definitely not. But this is a rock opera concept album about mental health written by men in the 1970s and that alone is kind of amazing in its own right. This also ends maybe the best 4 album run in Rock Music History. So this album is a little bloated and not as great as dark side of the moon or wish you were here, but the concept is cool, it's actually relatively tight for a rock opera, and I really enjoyed listening through it.

Good, classic stones. Don't really see why this is head and shoulders above their other albums but it is consistent and good.

So impossible to separate this from Kid A, which is a top 5 all time album for me. Still a lot of good stuff here and such a unique record that really sets a mood it's definitely grown on me over the years. I'm wondering what the legacy and reception of this record is if it's just released straight up as a double album with Kid A, but I think it would more just tarnish Kid A's reputation than bolster this one. The jazzy soloing in life in a glasshouse is sick as fuck and pyramid song and pulk/pull and you and whose army are underrated. But definitely not Radioheads best and it does drag a bit.

This is undoubtedly one of Bjorks middle to bottom half albums, but that's not to say it's bad. There's still a ton of good, cool, interesting stuff here. I almost wish she leaned even further into what differentiates it from her most iconic albums. Still a solid offering from one of the most unique voices in pop/rock history and tacks another one on to just an impeccable complete discography

It's so hard for me to pick a favorite The Smiths record. This is the consensus favorite and probably their most consistent but I love so many of their singles from other albums. Iconic band, iconic record and their influence is still being heard today.

Phenomenol. You can feel the energy jumping onto the tape and Sam has such an amazing powerful voice. One of the greatest Motown/Soul performers ever. Cupid is a favorite track of his for me, I honestly only wish this was longer like an hour and a half at least vs the brisk 38 minute run time.

Really fun pop/dance record. I enjoyed this much more than I anticipated the singles hit hard and the whole album was very consistent.

Why is stuff from the era you were in high school always the most cringey to you. There's nothing offensive about this album but it already sounds so dated and it's hard to imagine it would make a list like this even just 20 years later. I feel like there's better more lasting examples of this early 2000s dance punk revival stuff, but all in all a pretty easy listen. Doubt I'll be returning though.

Incredible that we were able to get these late era johnny cash recordings and such a good idea to go so covers heavy. Hurt obviously steals the show here but bridge over troubled water, I hung my head ,and personal Jesus are also great covers. And the whole album and while series is great and really cement Johnny Cash as one of the great American voices in music.

I'm very hungover today and this was NOT hitting. I appreciate it for its impact it had on music and enjoy how grand of a spectacle it is but I think it might just not be for me. I'll have to revisit when I'm not so incapacitated.
