The Eagles are one of those bands that seem to get an insane amount of hate but I've always been mostly neutral about them. Hotel California is apparently one of the best selling albums of all time but I'm not sure I understand why? Aside from the two prominent singles of the title track and Life in the Fast Lane there's nothing really memorable here. Wasted Time is a bit of a nice ballad but then it just becomes more lazy and generic as the second side goes on.
Not my favorite Neil record but there's quite enough gems on here to make a enjoyable listen. The orchestral songs leave a lot to be desired though.
A fun and catchy pop rock album from someone who should've had a longer career. There's an undercurrent of sadness buried beneath the upbeat music and that really strikes a chord.
One of the greatest albums of all time, hip hop or otherwise. Flowing with genuine whimsy and heart and full of incredible sampling. The only negative is that its maybe 10 minutes too long.
Arguably the peak of Britpop, full of big, anthemic choruses and highly successful singles. It's not my favorite Oasis album but its for sure very good. However, the mastering is terrible. The whole "wall of sound" of it all really leaves a lot to be desired.
Easy to see why this was such a big influence on Talking Heads.
Well made alt rock/jangle pop but nothing really substantial. The collab with Thom Yorke was the best part.
I've come to accept that REM just aren't for me and that's okay. Musically skilled as they are, Michael Stipe's vocals bother me so much that listening to them becomes a chore.
First half rips, meanders way too long in the second but I enjoyed most of it.
Not as strong as Goo and Daydream Nation but I'll take any excuse to listen to this phenomenal band.
One of the best to ever do it. Quite simply a masterpiece.
Not bad, but certainly not good and sadly it's unforgettable. I can't get over how it sounds like a blatant Dylan parody.
Better than I was expecting it to be, but also nothing really stands out and it just drags on and on. The skits are lame, the production is neat, but the flow is inconsistent and the theme gets old real fast.
Easy to see why this is the best selling jazz album of all time. Extremely accessible but not for a lack of complexity. Miles assembled his best sextant and the musicianship is the best it could ever get.
Like every Neil Young album, there's a fair mix of great ballads and generic country rock that doesn't do much for me. This was is just okay.
A beautiful and gentle album. I get choked up every time I hear Father and Son.
Funky and full of soul in all the right places, even if the flow is a bit inconsistent.
One of the most perfect debuts a band could ever make. Led Zeppelin bust out of the gate fully swinging with their signature sound that they would build on throughout the years. Not a single wasted moment, even the filler songs serve a purpose. There's a tight rawness in Jimmy Page's guitar sound that for some reason never got revisited on later albums.
A few solid tracks but does not excuse the overlong runtime and blatant misogyny
I like Bob Dylan just as much as anyone but there is such a thing as too much Bob Dylan
Arguably Bowie’s masterpiece. A superb mix of quirky pop and abstract soundscapes, a work of genius in every sense of the word.
Insane to think this was created by just two dudes in a basement. Practically every song is a staple of classic rock radio, and for good reason.
The title track and Riders on the Storm are great but the rest of it is standard blues rick that gets boring real fast.
Hard to overstate how influential this album was to the indie/underground scene. The Nico tracks are pretty underwhelming but everything else holds up super well.
Standard early Beatles era fare, but there’s a handful of great tunes.
Missy one of the best to ever do it, but this is a pretty standard album from her. Not a bad thing by any stretch because there's a lot of great songs but it didn't hit as hard as I would've liked. Work It remains an all time banger.
