A solid bluesy album, with psych rock and folk tones. Definitely a good album for a road trip or late night drive.
An instant classic electronic album. The sampling and transitions were really fun, lots of catchy tracks. I wasn't too familiar with Fatboy Silm, but turns out I already knew like 3 songs on the album.
A dreamy synthy pop album, that mixes in some rock. Theres obviously some bigger hits on this album, but every track is terrific!
I really loved this album. It's a cool mix of funky pop and dreamy R&B. The Beatles cover was also a fun surprise!
I'm not super familiar with the dance/electronic genre. I had a mixed experience with this. Some tracks I wasn't not a fan of, others I was indifferent to, but often found them fading into the background. Overall I would say a well produced album that just isn't my cup of tea.
Didn't know what to expect with this, as I'm really not familiar with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. I was pleasantly surprised with this album. It's definitely a classic rock and roll album, I mean, American Girl?! But there's hints of prog rock, blues and more.
I have never hear of this group, but I loved this album! It's a really fun blend of punk and rock. I'll definitely be checking out more!
This is a pretty solid rock album. There are a couple parts where it creeps too close to country for my taste, but still a fun album. I mean it has the iconic song "You Can't Always Get What You Want"!!!
Dark and moody melodies with a soft, gritty voice. I absolutely loved this album's vibe, I've been meaning to check out more by Mr. Cohen and this just shows I need to!
I loved this. It's funky, smooth with a bit of soul. An extremely 80's sounding album, in all the best ways!
This is a pretty cool live rock album. I don't think there's anything too mind blowing, but still a fun time.
I know Coldplay gets a lot of hate, but they nail exactly the vibe they're going for. I think this album does a good job of showcasing their strengths.
I'm not super knowable on folk-rock, but I had a lot of fun with this. Will be listening to more!
Loved this whole album! I had a blast with every track. The hits are popular for a reason, but every song feels like it could be an iconic track. I will be picking this up on vinyl on day!
Another album where I've loved the popular songs for years, but also really liked the other tracks. It's definitely a classic rock album for a reason!
This was a solid pop album. I obviously knew the titular track, but hadn’t listened to it all the way through and honestly liked some of the other tracks more. More of an R&B vibe than I expected!
This was a lot of fun to listen to! It's obviously full of pop and funk, but the slower songs were also done well and added a good variety of tracks.
I really liked the style of this album. I wasn't familiar with "Cocteau Twins" at all, but will be gladly diving deeper into their repertoire.
This is such a good album!!! Probably one of Bowie's best!
This was a difficult one to rate, as I didn't love it but also can recognize it's very good at what it's trying to be. Overall I'd say not my cup of tea but can totally understand others loving it.
LOVED IT!!!!!
Heard of her but never checked out her stuff. Not what I'd usually listen to but I really liked this!
This is an excellent bluesy rock album. I fully listened to it for the first time this year as it was the 40th anniversary, but loved having an excus to give it another listen through.
This is one of my all time favourite albums. So happy to have a reason to listen to it today. Every track is just exceptional!
I appreciated this and would give it another listen, but I feel like this just isn't my vibe.
I'm not super familiar with the electronic genre. I enjoyed this album, but didn't fine it had anything revolutionary.
Another band I've not listened to much of. I really enjoyed listening through this live album as it's felt like seeing a classic rock show. I'd love to hear more of their studio stuff.
Originally I thought this was good and 3 stars, but after another listen I actually really like this one. It's a rock album but dips into punk a lot and has some lighter slower tracks. A cool exploration of the rock genre.
I loved this one. I knew a few of the tracks already, but the other ones were just as good. A very fun synth-pop/rock time!
I love The Cure but I hadn't heard this one. I didn't recognize the tracks, but I really enjoyed listening though this. It's slow with a light, airy feel to it
Just a solid 40 minutes of jazz
This is an album I've probably heard many times growing up, but ad no clue what it was called. It's a solid classic Christmas compilation!
I've never listened through a Beastie Boys album before, only really hearing the hits before, and I actually really enjoyed it! It was basically what I expected, but was still a fun listen and some classic hiphop tracks!
This is another band where I've never listen through a whole album before. I obviously knew a bunch of songs by them, and in fact I saw them at OSH this year, but I hadn't given them a proper listen. I really like this one, it's got a fun punky-rock vibe. I'll have to dedicate more time to their music!
Thought I'd never heard of these guys, then realized of course I know "A Message To Rudy". I really like their style, it's like an offshoot of punk but mixed with an almost ska-like feel. Very cool!
This an artist that I knew the name, but couldn't really tell you a song by them. I really like the vibe of this album, kind of reminds me of Keane, one of my OG fav bands!
Wow, wow, wow! This is an album that feels like it was made for me! It's trippy, it's funky, it's such a fun time!!! I NEED it on vinyl immediately!
It's smooth. It's funky. It's such a good album!!!
I didn't expect to like this album as much as I do! I'm not too familiar with Beck, but I found this album reminded me of some of my favourite artists like Djo and The Flaming Lips
A solid grunge/garage rock album, no wonder, since they were a big influence on Nirvana
I'm really not a country fan, so I was ready to give this 1 star from the get go. But I figured I should at least listen to it, which I'm glad I did, as there were honestly a couple songs I had fun with. Still not a fan of country though.
An absolute classic in the hip-hop genre. I've never to N.W.A. myself, but I instantly recognized so many classic tracks. "Express Yourself" was a really fun surprise!
This is kind of a mixed bag for me. I wouldn't say there's any songs I dislike, it just doesn't feel like they all belong on the same album. It's a fun time, it's just not the most cohesive album.
I know I said it before, but this album has such a Keane vibe. I loved this and will definitely listen to it again!
I think this is a decent album, there's just a few moments that go a bit too folksy for me. Maybe I'll change my opinion on another listen through, which I'd like to do sometime
I tried my best to give this a fair shot, but I just find her music so bland. I'm not sayings it's bad, it's just not my thing.
Never listened to them before but quite liked this album, it's quite punky but borders on metal. I'd definitely listen to more of their stuff!
I LOVE this band! Was originally only familiar with their iconic "Heads Will Roll" but after seeing them at Osheaga, I fell in love! They're a band that doesn't have a bad album, and this album is a great showcase of their range. They've got fun pop bops, more aggressive rock and some slower ones on there too. Thank you for giving me a reason to listen to The Yeah Yeah Yeah's today!
I can see why some would be into this, but it's just not my cup of tea
After listening to the first line, I was thinking this guy ripped off The Smiths... had no clue he did solo stuff! I liked it, I just wouldn't be able to distinguish this from The Smiths.
I feel like I've been slacking on my Prince listening! He's an artist I've always heard and knew the hits, but have never goen out of my to listen too. I think this is a travestry because I absolutely love everything I've heard recently, and this album is the same. I love the funky groovy vibe that's found throughout this album. I will definitely be diving further into the Prince catalog when I have the chance!
It's soulful, it's jazzy, it's a good time! You can't go wrong with Ray Charles!
This was an interesting listen, as I had no clue what kind of genre it would be. I found myself really enjoying some songs but others I found a bit boring. I like it and would listen to it again, but I'm not in a rush to own it.
Had a lot of fun with this one. I'm just kinda getting into the Blues genre and this was a good way to get a few different vibes, as there's a lot of features on this album. Overall I'd say I quite enjoyed it and will be listening to more of Mr. Hooker.
I had fun listening to this one, always love some British rap! But overall there's nothing revolutionary here, at least for me personally. I enjoyed my listen and would listen to more, I just don't think I'd think of throwing them on myself.
Really liked this one! I knew "Cars" but wasn't familiar with anything else. I love the sound of this album, it techno and sythny with a cool funk to it. Definitely listening to more of his stuff!
This is an incredible psych rock album! I've always really enjoyed what I've heard from The Doors, but never sat down and listened through an album until starting this list. I am so glad I listened to this one, probably a new favourite!!!
Oooo it's super funky and groovy, the kinda vibe I absolutely LOVE! I only really knew of their Christmas songs, as they're included on a lot of complains. This was a huge injustice and I will be listening to more of their work when I can!
I hate to say it but I kinda found this bland. It's not that I didn't enjoy it and I can absolutely appreciate how iconic it is, I just wasn't blown away by anything, but that could simply be a symptom of over saturation.
I really liked this album! It's very funky and has a lot of riffs and extended solos. It's one I'll absolutely buy if I see it!
It's annoying that this isn't easily available on the regular music streaming platforms. I quite enjoyed it once I managed to find it, it's got a cool experimental rock vibe. The full album is available on YouTube, but I'm out of luck when it comes to adding any tracks to playlists, so I'd definitely buy it if I saw it.
I've been meaning to listening through this album, so thank god I was given a reason to do so! I know I'm not adding anything, but it's sooooooo good!!! It's so smooth and groovy, you want to keep listening through every song without skipping. This is definitely a must-have vinyl purchase!!!
This fun to listen through, I've always meant to! Obviously Psycho Killer is the standout hit, but the other tracks have the same trippy vibe.
I'm not familiar with MC5 at all, I only know of the name. I quite enjoyed this album, it's a cool fusion of bluesy rock with some punk vibes.
This isn't typically my genre, but I had fun with this one. Some tracks were a bit bland and repetitive for me, but I can see the appeal if Electronic is your thing!
Always loved Mrs. Turner since I was a kid, loved having a reason to listen to this album fully! It’s such a good groovy, funky album, pretty much every song is a bop!
I liked this one a lot! I wasn’t too familiar with this band, but I recognized a few tracks! It’s a good folky punk band, I quite enjoyed listening through this one!
I don't know tons about jazz, but I really enjoyed listening through this one! It was a solid hour of some great jazz music!
Another artist I am not super familiar with. I'm aware of her and know her hit single, but haven't done a deep dive. I really enjoyed the mix of tones on this album, there's some slower, more spiritual songs, followed by some more upbeat, fun songs. Definitely will be listening again!
I absolutely loved this one!!! Psych rock is one of my favourite genres and this album didn't disappoint. I was grooving to it from start to finish, definitely one I'm going to pick up on vinyl.
Really loved this one! I've always enjoyed the Pet Shop Boys, mainly knowing the hits, but listening through this album makes me think I need to do a deep dive! Every track was incredible, definitely listening to more ASAP!
This an artist I've been aware of but couldn't have told you anything they sang. I quite enjoyed listening through this one, it's got a real dream-like quality to it. This would be a fun one to pick up on vinyl.
Another band I've heard of but didn't know any of their songs. I'm glad this was on this list, as it gave me a reason to listen through an album that I likely wouldn't have otherwise. It's a really cool vibe, kind of like if electronic and R&B had a baby. Will be listening through again!
Surprisingly I enjoyed this one more than the 77 album, despite not knowing any of the tracks. I think I'll have to spend some time listening to them more, as there was a lot I enjoyed here!
This isn't usually the type of album I throw on, but I quite enjoyed listening through whilst I worked. It's soft and calming, with a slight folky vibe. It's an album I will definitely listen to again
LOVED THIS!!! It's funky, smooth and an overall good time! This is the album I didn't know I needed in my life! Will be picking up the record and listening to more by CHIC!
Really enjoyed this one! I've been getting more into the soul genre recently, so this was a fun one to explore. It's crazy how powerful her voice is, I could listen to it all day!
This was a bit of a mixed bag. There were some tracks I really enjoyed, but others were too close to folk/country for my preference. Overall I'd say I enjoyed listening through, but in future I'd probably listen to specific tracks, rather than throwing the whole album on.
Really enjoyed this one! It's a relaxing 30min album full of smooth sounds and catchy melodies. I really enjoyed "Desafinado", didn't know it would be on here! Would be interested in getting the record.
This a group I've never head of before, but I really enjoyed listening through this one! It's very reminiscent of The Beatles and that era of music. Would be interested to check out more from them!
It's too country for my taste. I can see why some would enjoy it, but it's just not my cup of tea. I don't think it's bad though!
If you'd asked me before, I would have said I know a few RATM tracks, but I was surprised to discover I'm not familiar with any of them! I guess I've just heard the name before, as I didn't realize they had a Bestie Boys vibe.
I enjoyed listening through this one, as I wasn't super familiar with the songs on the album. It's a good album and fun to listen through, but it is pretty long.
Another album that isn't available on streaming platforms, at least not completely. It seems legal issues have troubled this band from day one, which is probably why they weren't more successful. It's a shame too, because I really enjoyed this one after tracking it down on YouTube.
I've never listened through a Def Leppard album before, but I thouroughly enjoyed listening to this! I was quite to surprised to discover I loved the other tacks way more than the hits! A solid Glam Rock album!
I'm always down for some psych rock, so this was a lot of fun! I've listened to a bit of their stuff before and always enjoyed it, so listening through a full album was a delight!
Immediately jumps into it, blasting you with rhythm! I thought this one was a really fun mix of songs, from upbeat bops to smooth slow sounds, it's a good 40mins of sweet sounds!
I quite enjoyed this one. It's a fun, dreamy, psych-rock sound, like if the Beach Boys did Pink Floyd. I'd love to listen to more of their stuff!
I honestly wasn't sure if metal would be included in this list, so I'm pleasantly surprised that it is!
LOVED IT!!!! When I was the artwork, I thought this looked like a cool album and was excited to listen. I was immediately into it and happier to discover my enjoyment continued throughout the album! My only complaint is that I haven't heard it sooner!
At first this didn't really jump out to me, but after listening through it a couple times, I actually really enjoyed it. I wasn't familiar with Dennis Wilson, but this album does have a bit of a Beach Boys vibe, so it makes total sense!
I enjoyed listening to this one. There wasn't anything that especially stood out to me, other than Black Hole Sun, which I think became a hit for a reason
Such a good album!!! I've always enjoyed her music and used to jam out to the hits from this album as a kid. I'm delighted to have a reason to listen through the full thing, and even happier to discover the whole album is a banger!
Another album I absolutely loved! I've seen it for years at work (Sunrise Records) and had it on my list to listen to at some point. So happy I waited until now, as it's a mix of R&B and Funk, which are two genres I've only recently properly gotten into. This is instantly a favourite that i can see myself putting a lot. Now I'll have to go pick up the record from work!
While I thought this was good, I found that none of the songs really stood out to me. Still, it's a good half hour of some bluesy rock and maybe I'll discover something different on another listen through.
What a good album! I've always enjoyed Kendrick's music, it was amazing to see him at Osheaga in 2023, but I've mainly listened to his hits/singles. I really enjoyed listening through this one and I didn't know how many I knew from this album! Will be diving deeper into his discography!
Oh boy, more country! Like with other albums I've had to listen through on the list, I can see the appeal but it's just really not my vibe. Obviously Mr. Cash is an icon and has incredible voice, it's just not a voice I'm rushing to put on.
HELL YEA!!! It's so funny I'm getting this album now, when I just discover them organically a couple weeks ago! As previously mentioned, I've been getting more into the r&b/funk genre so this band has been an instant favourite of mine! I've already heard a few of the tracks here, but it was a treat to get to listen through the full thing!
My opinion may change after another listen through, but this one really didn't jump out to me. It's not bad by any means, but it's kind of bland and I didn't hear anything that stood out to me
This was my first time listening to Randy Newman outside of movie soundtracks. It was interesting to listen through, but I did find that alot of the songs sounded the same.
I actually got into this one way more than I expected! I've always loved the songs I've heard by The Police, mainly the big hits, but I never explored further into their catalog. I really enjoyed the style throughout this album, the Reggae-Rock vibe is right up my alley. So glad this one was included on the list!
This one really wasn't for me. It was very folky, a genre that's never super exciting to me. But even then, it didn't feel like it was doing anything special. That's not to say it's bad, it's just not my cup of tea.
I'm not a metalhead by any means, but I enjoyed through the album. It's probably not one I'd thrown on myself, but I can appreciate it still.
I quite enjoyed this one! This is an artist I've heard the name of but never properly checked out, besides listening to a couple songs. I'm glad I had the chance to listen through this, as I'd like to listen to more of his stuff!
I've loved Tom's Diner since I was a kid, but hadn't really heard much else from Ms. Vega. I'm happy to have a reason to listen to one of her albums, as I really enjoyed this one! I would be very interested in checking out more!
Another group I've been meaning to check out at some point, as I've known the name for years but never listened to them. I really enjoyed this album, it got catchy lines and funky sounds, what more could you want?!
Now one by Mr. Young is much more up my alley. It's a peaceful folky album that contains a few of his best known songs. I enjoyed listening through this one far more than the previous Neil Young album I had on this list, I may even grab it on vinyl!
I was pretty surprised to discover I don't know any songs by them. They're a band I've known of and always assumed I'd heard stuff by them, but apparently not! So I enjoyed listening through this one and was surprised to discover they're very alt rock, as opposed to punk which is what I've assumed they were. I'm eager to listen to more, and excited to see they have other albums on the list!
I really enjoyed this one! I've never heard of them before, but I had a lot of fun listening to this album. A solid 50mins of psychedelic sounds!
Immediately I LOVED this one! I'm not familiar with Ian Dury, so I really wasn't sure what to expect. I was into it from the get go, as I'm a sucker for new wave rock. Will be listening to more from him!
I've heard of Tracy Chapman but didn't really know her music, other than Fast Car. I'm glad she was on this list because this was a really solid album that will definitely be listening through again!
Another iconic album I haven't got round to listening to yet, so I'm glad it was included in this list. I had a lot of fun listening to this one, it's a solid rock album with some glam rock vibes. I will be buying on vinyl if i see it!
Honestly, I wasn't sure what to think about this one. It's a collection of German screaming and noise, and is obviously very experimental. But I did find myself getting into some of the beats once I acclimatized to the sounds.
It might not be your thing and it's obviously going to be controversial, but I'll always take a wild swing that misses over another safe generic album.
I know she's not for everyone, but I've always been a fan of Lorde. I think this album does a great job of showcasing some different styles, while building off what she established on her previous album. It's an album where I never skip a track, they're all so good!
I enjoyed this one, it's a fun Jazz album. Not sure what else there is to say!
I knew the first track, bust wasnt famikliar with anything else. It's a slow, dreamy psych album that was really fun to listen to. I will definitely listen to it again and buying on vinyl if I can!
Really enjoyed this one! I've always been a fan of the Beach Biys and their dreamy, relaxed vibe. I thoroughly enjoyed the different styles on display here, all while sticking to their established vibe. A solid album that I will definitely try and pick up on vinyl!
I've recently been getting more into hard rock and glam metal, so I think this came at the perfect time for me to properly enjoy it. I love a live album, so this was an especially fun one to listen too!
I enjoyed this one, it was a light daydream-esque album. Nothing too mind blowing, but a fun hour nonetheless!
I enjoyed the psych rock vibes in a couple of the songs on this album. I'm not super familiar with The Stooges, but I like what I've heard and will listen to more!
This such a fun funky album, how could i not love it?! Obviously I knew the title track, but the rest were just as great!
I liked listening through this one. There wasn't anything mind-blowing, but I still enjoyed each song
I liked the upbeat nature of this album. It's a fun punk/rock album with some more fun pop elements included. Overall I'd say I was pleasantly surprised by this band I've never heard of!
I found this to be a pretty fun rock album that leans close to punk at times. I'd definitely listen to it again and would be interested to hear more of their work.
I quite enjoyed this album! I'm not super familiar with Steely Dan, only really knowing the name. But I'm excited to get to his other albums on this list!
I actually really enjoyed this one! I wasn't sure what to expect, I've seen this album at work for years, but I don't think I've heard any Nick Drake before. I was pleasantly surprised by the folky vibe that isn't country and is almost psychedelic at times. Definitely one to pick up on vinyl!
