It was awful, boring, and so mediocre that I simply couldn't understand what this album was doing on this list.

Stankonia

OutKast

3/5

3 songs saved (ms. Jackson, so fresh so clean, red velvet). Others are so so

Fleet Foxes

2/5

This is very mediocre music. It feels like I've heard it a million times before. The sound is very ordinary, and there's nothing special about the lyrics, music, or vocals.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

dat classic

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

2/5

At first, I thought it was good, pleasant music. But in the second half of the album, there was a lot of psychedelia, and the song Waking The Witch made me feel physically uncomfortable, so much so that I couldn't even listen to it to the end.

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

meh... just the same songs for 45 minutes, boring.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

It was awful, boring, and so mediocre that I simply couldn't understand what this album was doing on this list.

1/5

wtf was that

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Damn. For reasons unknown to me, I had never been familiar with Neil Young's work before. And what an amazing discovery it is. The vocals and guitar playing are both excellent. Incredibly good, especially for 1969.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

meh

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

It's interesting in places, but I really don't like Elvis's vocals. I still don't understand why he became so famous. Just ordinary love songs without any special features.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

The music and genre are quite outdated for me. But the voice is very good.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

It's pretty dark, but the music is interesting. I don't like the vocals.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

4/5

It sounds like a famous old rock but I've never heard about this band. Not bad actually

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

5/5

An amazing discovery. Excellent old-school sound, interesting hip hop, with heavy guitar riffs in places. In 2026, it still sounds lively.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

3/5

Overall okay, but it sounds like the opening themes in TV series.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

This is just awesome. Real heavy grunge.

Celebrity Skin

Excellent female pop rock. Sounds very familiar, but high quality.

Kid A

I never liked Radiohead, and now I remember why.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

It's not Beatles, but still good

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

4/5

The real hip hop

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

5/5

Great band and music

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

For its time, it really was fresh and progressive music, but now I only like a couple of the tracks. I guess trip-hop just isn't my thing

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

4/5

Good vocals and decent music

Fred Neil

3/5

It's okay, but very boring

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

3/5

It sounds normal, a bit melancholic. I wasn't too keen on the vocals, but overall it's okay.

Adele

3/5

nice, but too epic

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

It has a great atmosphere, with some very bluesy moments, and Jagger's vocals are indescribable

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

3/5

I don't know why, but in places it reminded me of the early Red Hot Chili Peppers. Though without the Red Hot Chili Peppers' talent.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

boring as hell

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

1/5

The brown note

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

2/5

Just more of the same old jazz—I'm sick of it; it sounds just like any other jazz from back then

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

great music

Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

I didn't get it at all, it's some kind of experimental music where sometimes the lyrics are just spoken rather than sing.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Interesting and funky

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

2/5

Meh

...And Justice For All

Metallica

2/5

This is some kind of nightmare. Sure, Metallica has a couple of popular and cool songs. But when you start listening to their albums in their entirety—it’s just THE SAME SONG playing over and over and over again. I just can’t tell if a new one has started or if the old one is still playing. They’re all exactly the same. And on top of that, they’re all equally boring. The same old tricks, the same song style, pointless solos thrown in at random moments. I really don’t get what’s so popular about this. Maybe it sounded fresh in the ’80s, but now it sounds awful and boring.

Moving Pictures

Rush

3/5

The music is interesting and quite progressive. And the vocals are very memorable. However, by the end of the album, the music started to get repetitive, and the very long tracks were hard to listen to.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

2/5

Music for GTA Vice City

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

4/5

Stunning and energetic rock that sounds ahead of its time

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

2/5

No thanks

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Very uplifting and energetic music. It really lifts your spirits and gives you a sense of calm.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

The man speaks the words in a very sad voice, accompanied by sad music.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

2/5

Just another jazz piece with saxophone.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

It’s really strange, but I used to think I didn’t like Radiohead. I was especially convinced of this after coming across their 2000 album *Kid A*, which I found absolutely awful. However, this album is a completely different experience. It turns out that Radiohead used to make really good music (which reminds me a lot of Oasis or the Stereophonics). All in all, this album gets a solid 5, and it’s a real shame that the band went off in the wrong direction after that.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

2/5

Unfortunately, I just don't get this genre of rock. It's more like a headache than music.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

2/5

I used to like one song ("Money Tree"), and I thought the album would be similar... But no, I didn't like it

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

2/5

Very dull and boring alternative rock

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

What a surprise find for me! Cool, energetic rock. Great music and vocals. They sound like so many other bands at once, which makes them sound even cooler.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

5/5

10 out of 10. rhythmic hard blues, pure music to the ears

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

1/5

I did'n understand wtf was that

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

It's interesting and has a bluesy vibe, but I was expecting more

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Well... the music isn't bad; it's pretty epic in places

McCartney

Paul McCartney

4/5

A very experimental album. Country, blues, and interesting vocals

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

Upbeat old-school music. It's okay, but I doubt I'll listen to it a second time.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

I've never understood Depeche Mode, and I probably never will. It's just such a dreary, boring thing, with an unbelievable amount of hype.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

A great, vibe-filled album, a true classic

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

It's a decent album, but there's just nothing here that interests me. It sounds like a lot of other stuff in this genre.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

2/5

Um... a guy with no obvious talent or singing voice is trying to sing sad songs. I have absolutely no idea how this ended up on this list.

Drunk

Thundercat

2/5

wtf was that

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

4/5

Pretty good, actually

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Not bad at all, especially considering it's 1972. And I've even added the song "Changes" to my playlist now

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

Man, this site is really trying to make me love Radiohead. That’s the only way I can explain why this is already the third album out of the 85 I’ve listened to. Since I’m still someone who doesn’t get Yorke’s work, I’m a little baffled. The Bends—I thought it was a really great album, 5/5 Kid A—just a total flop. 0 out of 5; I don’t even want to think about it But this one… I can’t decide. It’s all steeped in some kind of melancholy and depression, but… it’s almost as if I actually liked it. I’d say 3.5 out of 5. But whatever, I’ll give it a 4. I hope I don’t come across any more Radiohead, or at least not anytime soon.

Make Yourself

Incubus

5/5

Awesome

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

4/5

Well, that's pretty unusual. Early electronic music—I was actually pleasantly surprised to hear some jungle D'n'B in the middle of the album. Not bad at all

Leftism

Leftfield

2/5

I’d say that for its time, that sound was quite fresh. But today, to me, it sounds very dated.
