The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

Count Basie, the Count Basie Orchestra and Neal Hefti were all men. 5/5

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

5/5

Iggy Pop is a man. 5/5

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

Jack White is a man, but Meg White is a woman. 3/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

Phil Spector was a man, which was surely the most notable thing about him. Bob B. Soxx was the only other man featured on this album, while the Blue Jeans and the Ronettes were women. The Crystals and Darlene Love are also women. 2/5

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

The Who is a band comprised entirely of men. 5/5

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

Yet another band comprised entirely of men. 5/5

Sincere

Mj Cole

4/5

MJ Cole is a man, but I have to dock Sincere a star for featuring Elisabeth Troy and Nova Caspar on several tracks. 4/5

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

Johnny Cash was not only a man, he was THE man. 5/5

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

The ALL MAN Brothers Band. Enough said. 5/5

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

5/5

Ray Charles may have been a genius, but more importantly, he was a man. 5/5

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

4/5

The Velvet Underground’s lineup was mainly comprised of men, but included Moe Tucker (a woman) at the time of this album’s release. 4/5

Pretenders

4/5

Most of the members of the Pretenders are men, but Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) is a woman. 4/5

Vulnicura

Björk

1/5

Björk is a woman. 1/5

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

5/5

Weather Report's original lineup included Barbara Burton (a woman) on percussion, but she left the band long before Heavy Weather was recorded. In order words, it's another group that was comprised solely of men. 5/5

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

1/5

Dusty Springfield was a woman. 1/5

Adele

1/5

Adele is also a woman. 1/5

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

5/5

Gang Starr? More like Five Starr! Because they were men. 5/5

XY ZZ. 5/5

Blur

5/5

All men. Woo hoo! 5/5

Boy In Da Corner

Come on, the album is literally named BOY in da Corner. 5/5

Femi Kuti

5/5

Femi Kuti is a man. 5/5

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

Like their vaudeville counterparts, the Stooges were all men. 5/5

Drunk

Thundercat

5/5

Thundercat is a man and so is every other artist featured on this album. 5/5

Vespertine

Björk

1/5

Woman Poetry. 1/5

The United States Of America

4/5

Unlike the real United States of America, this band was not 50% female. However, Dorothy Moskowitz made it 20% female, so I have to dock it one star. 4/5

Franz Ferdinand

5/5

Archduke Franz Ferdinand Carl Ludwig Joseph Maria was a man and so is every member of this band. 5/5

Shadowland

k.d. lang

1/5

k.d. lang is a woman. 1/5

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

5/5

Nothing but men in KING Crimson. 5/5

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

Gotta dock this one a star because of Tina Weymouth (bass guitar). 4/5

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

5/5

For a second I thought I was going to have to dock this one a star due to Tracy Pew being the Birthday Party’s bassist, but it turns out he was actually a man. 5/5

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

The BoatMAN’s Call? Too easy. 5/5

Justified

Justin Timberlake

5/5

No señoritas to be found here. 5/5

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

As their name would suggest, the Mamas and the Papas were a mixed-gender group comprised of two men and two women. 3/5

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

5/5

Morrissey is a man. 5/5

Better Living Through Chemistry

Prince was a man. 5/5

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

5/5

As a wise cartoon character named Chester McBadbat once said, "Girls give me the hives!" 5/5

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

Funkadelic's core band was comprised of men, but I'm unfortunately going to have to deduct a star from this album for featuring several women in its vocal ensemble. 4/5

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

5/5

While Mystic (DU Goddess) was a part of Digital Underground for a time, that time was several years after this album released. In other words, all men here. 5/5

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

5/5

Eric Clapton is a man. 5/5

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

5/5

Buck Owens was a man. All of his Buckaroos were as well (until the 1970s, anyway). 5/5

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

5/5

To the surprise of no one, the band that makes music for lonely millennial dudes is comprised entirely of men. 5/5

Tidal

Fiona Apple

1/5

Fiona Apple is a woman. 1/5

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Raekwon

4/5

Raekwon is as man and so is nearly every other artist featured on this LP (including RZA and Ghostface Killah). Unfortunately, the presence of Blue Raspberry means I can only give the album four stars. 4/5

The Next Day

David Bowie

5/5

The Next Man. 5/5

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Blood Sugar Sex Men. 5/5

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions are all, in fact, men. 5/5
