Classic, definitely heard before. Good stuff.
Classic, have heard most of these songs before, but had never sat down and listened to this start to finish.
Solid album. Good band. Not my favorite.
I used to love Led Zeppelin. I was ready for this to be done before it was over.
Not a fan of Xmas music and Spector is, yeah, but this sounds fucking gorgeous, even if I'll never listen to it again. Cheers.
Great stuff! Hadn't heard this whole album before, but Niki Hoeky was a great new find. All hail the Queen of Soul.
Love The Kinks, Village Green is among my favorite albums. This was great
Not my bag, some decent tracks, but way too repetitive for me, fine background tunes.
This is a good album, it has some great sobgs. Michael Stipe can also come across whiny as all hell.
I have more respect for Joni Mitchell than I did before. The Jungle Line took me by complete surprise. That being said, I did not really enjoy this.
Solid. Not my usual stuff, but this was good
Hell yeah. So many great tunes, classic album.
Meh. Unobjectionable, but that's about it.
Ooof, I would rather have NOT listened to this. Blegh. When they started singing about tolerating people that you hate I wondered if they were talking about my feelings towards this album.
Not my general jam, but it's Curtis Mayfield, so it was still damn good, not super familiar with the dude so it was nice to hear more. That cover and title are also amazing.
Oh hell yeah, I'm definitely experienced. Excuse me while I kiss this guy.
It is remarkable how fresh and vibrant this still stands. Haven't sat down and listened to the whole thing in years. Good shit.
Mitch Mitchell is an excellent drummer, and it doesn't matter if Noel was pissed and down at the pub or not when Jimi's in town. Move over Rover indeed.
The closer off this album absolutely slaps. Tasty tune that I've heard a million times. The rest of this felt like I was listening to a compilation called The Absolute Worst of The Kinks. No thanks.
Oh gosh, I used to be obsessed.wirh Sonic Youth. Haven't listened to this one in a few years. It is still a very good album.
Oh yeah, Monk is a genius.
Inoffensive pop. Nothing wrong with it, but for me it just lands with no more weight than 'meh.' Now, that cover of Iron Man, well that was different and unexpected, not great, but different and unexpected . . .'oh, Iron Man.' I like Huh better than Meh, so that earned an extra star.
Stevie Wonder! Higher Ground, Living for the City, He's Misstra Know-it-All, when Stevie hits, he hits on all fucking cylinders.
This is fine. Well produced, inoffensive background music for me. Not my jam. Its fine.
Fuck yes. Metallica's best album in my opinion, not a huge Metallica fan, but this is a damn good album.
This is a classic time capsule, the world again reacting to the new. Wild to hear the crowd reacting to the electric songs that I grew up loving. This is Dylan at his most interesting to me, caught in transition. Good stuff.
I really like Jack White's music. This isn't my favorite album of his. There are some good tunes, but none good enough to overcome the stinkers as far as I'm concerned. The second half really falls off the beam. I get wanting to distance himself from the White Stripes sound, but it's what he does best.
I mean, We Are Family is a good track, but this just isn't my style.
Like many, I'm familiar with this group mostly through Paul Simon's Graceland (and the wonderful exclamation in The Venture Brothers). This was cool, I don't think it's something I could listen to over and over again, but it was definitely cool.
Oh yeah. The laughing during the songs, the banter in between, Cash is a hell of a performer. And then we can talk about the tunes, they're all great and then there's Jackson, hot damn, what a hell of a voice Joan Carter Cash had. When she comes barreling into a few of those lines, just amazing.
In addition to the performance itself, this record also does a great job of not letting you forget that Cash is singing to.men in prison, and I think that's important. The inclusion of the prisoner being called to reception, the inclusion of Cash asking for water, the men booing the warden. For me this is a masterpiece.
This might be my favorite live album that I'm glad I wasn't in the audience for. Heh.
Okay, so I'm much more familiar with Joy Division than New Order, and I still think I enjoy Joy Division more, but this was really good. Sunrise stood out.
Ahh, okay. Some serious grooves here, but it's just so relentless that for me, it wears out its welcome quickly, and the vocals are definitely not my style. I like my metal more melodic. Still, this is solid, even if I'll probably never listen to it again. Like the intro to Altered States was bad-ass, but then . . . oh well.
Okay, I liked 'Lies.' Now I'm.digging 'Undet The Tide,'
This didn't start well for me. I'm not sure it's something I'd go out of my way to play, but it grew on me a bit as the album progressed, and there were definitely some tasty moments. At start this was two stars at best, at a few.points it was almost four.
I'd heard OF Amy Winehouse, I'd not heard Amy Winehouse.
I was not prepared for this to be this good. Fuck yeah. Four stars.
Own this. Love this. Almost perfect. 4.5 stars for sure.
I knew 'That' Entertainment' which is a phenomenal tune. There were some.other good ones here as well, but for me, nothing that came even close to how good Entertainment is. I was hoping for more. Pretty Green was solid as well. Three stars.
I don't hate it. Rolling in the Deep is great if I hear it once or twice a year. She's obviously skilled. Just not for me. Two stars
Fast Car is absolutely iconic. I haven't listened to this album in probably 20 years. It's still very good.
This is regarded as Dylan's best period for good damn reason.
Hooray for vinyl day. Cowgirl in the Sand, Down by the River, Cinnamon Girl. This is a great album.There's really not a terrible track on here, the worst of it being forgettable, which is more than can be said for Harvest. This is one of my favorites from Neil and the Horse. He's at his feverish best.
As a much younger dude I used to really like Zep. Now I was ready for this to be done long before it was. Interesting. That being said, Bonham and John Paul Jones still come across as bad ass, but Plant and Page can go pound sand for all I care. Lol.
I was a massive Floyd fan as a younger dude. They still hold up from time to time, but it doesn't hit like it used to.
Oh hell yeah. Don't trust people who don't love Willie Nelson.
The vocals, I just can't get into the vocals. Much respect, not for me.
There were a few tunes that were alright, but this ain't my jam.
The Pogues! Not my favorite band, but damn are they fun. Sometimes this stuff hits in all the right ways. I hadn't listened to a full album of theirs until today, and I'm damn glad I have now done so!
I really don't like Cat Stevens, for a number of reasons.
I like these guys better with the Y.
It's not absolute ass, but it ain't good. It sounded much cooler when I was 10 and hadn't found punk rock yet.
Some damn fine tunes here. He was a great songwriter.
Okay, not the biggest reggae fan, this was solid if uninspiring. Wild cover of Strange Fruit was ah . . . Interesting.
This is a wonderful album.
If not for a few tracks that I really didn't like, this might have been three stars.
I adore this album. Literally moving today so my vinyl is in transit, but I will dig the album out and spin it. Queen Bitch along is worth the price of admission. Song for Bob Dylan is a touch week, but still, five fucking stars.
I want to like X more than I do. They're very just alright and there's more than a bit I really don't care for.
Some great songs on this album. A full DK album is something I have to be in the mood for.
One of the finest albums ever made. Absolutely amazing.
Yes. Own it, love it. Panic in Detroit isn't great and the closer is a touch overwrought for me, but the rest of this beauty more than makes up for it.
Meh. Not awful, but not good, the hits are alright if I hear them like once a year, but the whole album is a pass.
Immaculate vibes. Good stuff, not my go-to style, but I'm very glad I got to hear this, a couple damn fine tunes.
Oof, MJ is a tragic figure and this one doesn't have any of my favorites.
So the quaverying, warbly vocal style is . . . oof, not a fan of that, made this hard going. Fistful Of Love was a solid jam, saved this for me. Not that I'll listen again mind you.
Love Bowie, own this album, it's not my favorite of his. Young Americans and Fame are both phenomenal. Yeah
Holy fuck this was terrible. Was begging for it to end, the silence when I could finally stop this bullshit was the sweetest music I'd heard all day.
Goddamn mayonnaise on Wonder Bread sandwich with the crusts cut off. Don't even get a frilly toothpick with this. Bland as hell. Oddly, I love the cover, bizarre, why you singing to a stuffed giraffe in the snow? Probably because everyone else wandered away bored as hell.
Okay, this was a different Beach Boys sound (kinda) than I grew up with, the cover said as much. It's not something I want to listen to again, but I'm glad I heard this.
Love Ellington. This was great.
Fuck this is a great album, and such a huge part of growing up. Still fucking rocks.
I absolutely understand why this was huge. It's not for me though.
Nope, no thanks. Not really sure why. There's nothing offensive here, it has the elements of many things I like, but Kings of Leon have never hit for me.
Interesting, some much better than others.
I had heard a few Elvis Costello songs, thought they were alright.
This was awful, like painful to experience.
Absolute classic. Haven't listened in a few years, always worthwhile. Not something I'm going to listen to more than once every couple of years, but that's okay.
I really rather liked this. Had heard some of The Fall, but hadn't sat and listened to a whole album. Heartily glad to have done so.
This was fun and chill. Not my usual vibe, but good stuff.
Okay, this was about as metal as I've heard Queen. A bit uneven, but interesting, let's hit some metal riffs and then switch it into musical cabaret numbers. Really dug Stone Cold Crazy.
Okay, this was fucking solid.
I was a big Pavement fan back in the day. This holds up pretty well. Nice blast from the past right here.
I liked early Beck better, never been a huge fan. Most of this wasn't good, (some was fairly damn dreadful) at it's best, it sure didn't make me want to listen to it again.
I keep waiting for these slower more 'mature' albums to start resonating with me, but I'm damn near 50 and still find them boring. Maybe next decade.
Okay, this was a bit of a journey. I dug it though, almost surprised at how much I enjoyed some of this. I enjoy a band that is obviously inspired by a bunch of different stuff and somehow kinda winds up sounding just like themselves.
This was solid. I'd buy a copy.
I have heard this album so many times..It still jams.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Not for me. Can't rap, can't sing, didn't even have any damn clever lines or impressive music to redeem this.
I'm a fan of some seriously sloppy music, so I'm not saying people with less than amazing skills shouldn't make music, but this felt like deliberately half-assed mediocrity from start to finish.
Oh yeah. This was fun. Not something I'm gonna listen to a million times, but this was fun. 3.5, would buy a cheap copy!
Okay, fine, I'll listen to Coldplay. I'd really rather not though, so thanks! It's fine if you're into it I guess; it's just tepid and bland for me.
Hell yeah! This was absolutely awesome! What fun!! Catchy as hell, will be keeping my eyes peeled for Louis Prima in the record stores.
So, after a casual glance at my record collection, one might be surprised at the lack of Faith No More, I could just never really jive with them. I did enjoy today's listen tho, so maybe it's time to reconsider.
Oh boy. This had some moments, not terrible. I enjoy bluegrass, that helps, and boy howdy were there some hilarious lines of awful tragedy.
Own it,. love it. This is perhaps peak REM for me; End of the World, Oddfellows Local 151. I prefer it to Automatic for the People by a long shot. Great damn album; some are better than others, but there's not a bad song on here. Five stars.
Okay. This was weird in a fun way, like Scott Walker and Roxy Music for me. It's not my day to day jam, but this was good fun. 3 stars.
Boy, this was a blast from the past, but I just don't think it's held up for me. It's not dreadful, but damn, it's not great.
So everyone knows Relax, it's been used in so many movies at this point. The covers were wild tho, War and then Born to Run were totally unexpected, not great, but not terrible. I was hoping The Power of Love would turn out to be a curious thing of a cover as well, but it was instead the most wretched song on the album, retch.
I'd be hard pressed to rate any of Sabbath's first six albums as less than perfect. This is not my favorite of that run and it's still amazing. Supernaut alone is worth the price of admission. Under the Sun is also amazingly good.
The fuck does Stephen Stills have two albums on this list for?! If you ever find yourself in some odd damn position where you must listen to a Stephen Stills album, this one is longer than the one where he's singing to a stuffed giraffe in the snow, but not as painful. Pick your poison .
Love this album. No complaints on this end. The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots are both perfect albums for me.
The Weight is iconic, Chest Fever was pretty fun, but this isn't my jam. Nothing against it.
It's a rare piece of electronic music that I vibe with. This just isn't my jam at all. It was inoffensive, clearly well done, and I did rather enjoy the bit where the sudden bursts of silence functioned almost as percussion.
So close. I want to like this more than I do, and there are parts I liked quite a bit, but in the end if was just a touch too cheesy, the falsetto a bit too much. Much respect, but not for me.
Tina Turner had an amazing voice. I had heard the hits.
This is one of those albums that I'm not going out of my way to listen to, but I'm glad I've heard the whole thing.
Yup, will admit, Tina Turner was bad as fuck.
This is a fine album. Nothing wrong with it at all. Three stars.
Classic Dan, love 'em, own 'em.
This is one of my favorite albums. Practically perfect.
I remember seeing the video with Aerosmith on MTV back when they actually played music videos, it sounded far more interesting to me then. So many great things came from these guys being on the scene, it's just not great for me anymore.
