This is not my cup of tea. I respect the artistry and ambient feel of the album, but I am not the biggest fan of Lou Reed in general. It's a well made album, with great production value and great songwriting, but I don't like the artist.
This is a fun album. I have always enjoyed jazz and instrumental music. Thelonious Monk is at the top of his game here.
A solid album of Country and Western music. Marty's voice is solid as he handles these classic tunes. The mixing is well done and I have listened to this one several times before. I have been looking for it on vinyl but I have not been able to come across it yet.
I do not like this album other than Once In A Lifetime. Otherwise, this album is forgettable to me.
Let me preface this by saying, I have always been indifferent towards The Beatles. In my 38 years of existence, I have listened to their entire catalog multiple times, not by intention. Abbey Road remains a strong entry into this list with great songwriting, producing, and musicianship. It is not my favorite Beatles album, and that's ok.
Having just listened to Abbey Road yesterday, I am more inclined to pick up Rubber Soul. Still not my favorite Beatles album, but it has a lot of solid songwriting and production value as The Beatles moved away from pop standards to exploring their artistry.
This album was a mixed bag. There were some tracks that I really liked and some that I could have lived without. Fred's guitar playing is quite solid and his voice fits the music better in my opinion than Bob Dylan. He lands somewhere between Dylan and Johnny Cash on this album with better guitar chops than either one. The mixing is solid and it's very well written. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to this one again, but I certainly won't turn it off if someone puts it on.
This recording finds the band's classic lineup at the top of the game. The mixing is solid and the performance is great.
This album is a great blend of hip hop, funk, and sampling. The message is fantastic, the groove is there and they aren't afraid to take some risks. It's a groundbreaking album to transition out of 80s hip hop into 90s hip hop.
This album is a great representation of Ella Fitzgerald's range as a performer. She works through Gershwin songs with the strength of a woman who knows how to hit all the right notes at exactly the right time with exactly the right tone.
This album is unique. Groove beats that just kind of flow together. I wouldn't say it's good nor would I say it's bad. It just kind of exists in my opinion. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it again but I wouldn't turn it off either.
Joni Mitchell's best in my opinion. I've heard this album plenty of times, it's raw emotion catches me every time. As Alan Rickman put it in Love Actually, "Continuing your emotional education."
A true gem that showcases a phenomenal voice. Very solid album with a lot of good performances and songwriting. I don't listen to Sade often enough.
This album is not my forte. I do appreciate the grooves that are laid down, but I don't care for this one a lot.
I am normally not a fan of BritPop but Blur is just a step or two away from Bush with this release and it tends to lean more towards Post-Grunge. Will I listen to it again? Sure, will I gravitate towards and out this on without conscious thought, likely not.
A very solid album showcasing West Coast rap. Snoop is at the top of his game. Gin and Juice is a must listen to for any serious music appreciator.
A great album that I don't listen to enough. That songwriting and musicianship is next level
This is very atmospheric, reminds me a lot of art rock and is great in the background. It's a mood and tonight, unfortunately, it is not the right mood for me. I did pick up on some like ambient country with some of these tracks.
I respect this album for what it does. I do not care for most of the tracks on it. Life During Wartime is easily the best song on the album. It's experimental but at the same time, true to the Talking Heads.
Nope
I have always enjoyed this album as a whole better than the sum of its parts. I think that is what makes this one hard to digest for a lot of people.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. The Hawkins brothers dropped a dynamite debut with Ed Graham and Frankie Poullain that they have yet to equal. The songwriting is the right level of cheeky, the musicianship is on point, and Justin's vocals are something out of this world. Having been able to see them live 20 years later, they still got it and the songs still stand the test of time.
A phenomenal work by Herbie Hancock. The musicianship is top notch and the songs are well written.
This album is a classic. No song untouched, it's absolutely perfect heavy metal.
A very good album. It's not my favorite of his but I have listened to it at least once a year since I first heard it five years ago .
This is an amazing prog rock epic of an album. Not all of the tracks are for everyone but Roundabout, side one, track one, is just a banger.
Objectively, I hate Bob Dylan. He's a great songwriter, but I hate his voice and his songs all have the same structure which make them boring to me. This recording isn't anything special to me, it sounds like he's on the studio recording a greatest hits compilation.
I feel like I'm in a world music rave while listening to this.
A great showcase of Little Richard's immense talent. The album is well mixed given its age and it holds up to the test of time.
This album is an all time classic. Jim Steinman and Marvin Lee Adday (aka Meatloaf) are a dynamite duo. Steinman's songwriting is masterful while Meatloaf's performance delivers the emotions behind them perfectly.
A very good album that features great musicianship and a killer title track. In fact, the whole second side is just a groove that is underappreciated by the majority of listeners, I'm sure. This listen through really got me reflecting on it.
This was a very well done album. The songwriting was great, the musicianship was great, everything about it screamed great. Is this something I would come back, to probably not. But I respect it a lot.
This album is an impressive recording with great vocals and songwriting. That being said, I do not understand its direction and that makes it a challenging listen. I likely will never listen to this again.
It was angsty and artsy. It was post-rock before post-rock. It's not my cup of tea.
I greatly enjoy this album but I always forget about it until a random thought pops it back into my head. The guitar playing skills are on display and make Hendrix sound amazing.
After opening with the banger that is Cinnamon Girl, the album itself is average. Down By The River is a great track as well but the other 5 tracks do nothing for me. As I was listening I thought to myself, at some point Neil Young just becomes noise.
The thing about this album is, it's good, but not great. I personally feel like they threw everything at the wall to see what would stick. The Beatles are listed as one of the greatest music acts of all time, and with good reason. But at some point they overextended themselves for the sake of art and became a parody of a good band.
An overall solid album. Johnny Marr's guitar work is exemplary and Morrissey's vocals carry that certain quality of someone who is trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
This album is very brit-punk in every sense. From the way the music is written, to the lyrical themes, to the vocal styles. There is nothing wrong with it and given the right audience this is a banger of an album.
Lucinda Williams dropped a dynamite album here. The songs are great and help bridge the gap between old school country and newer country without committing to the party atmosphere that a lot of country songs and artists have done in recent years.
This is a phenomenal album. The guitar solo on Three Days always blows my mind. Just a ton of good songs and showing a band that is hitting its stride at the right moment.
This album is fine. It's got a message but I just don't really feel the album itself stands out in any way.
There is nothing about this album that screams I must listen to it before I die. To me, this band sounds like Radiohead went prog.
The album was a mixed bag. Some really good songs, and some meh songs.
Seek & Destroy is literally one of the best songs of this era. This album itself is raw, it's early punk, and it's everything it was supposed to be.
The definitive album by this band collectively dubbed, the only band that matters. Banger after banger
This album is a dynamite work showcasing Mike Patton's vocal range. I come back to this one on a regular basis and use it almost as a palate cleanser.
A very typical punk album. I like it but I don't flock to it.
One of the best albums ever recorded in my opinion. Everything about it is top notch, from the songs to the musicians, to the album cover. It is the perfect mix of Blues, Sex, and Rock N Roll that helped define a decade.
There is nothing about this album that makes it stand out against other punk albums of the day.
This was a fun album to get some work done to. I don't think I would listen again
A classic album showcasing their emerging talent. Great performance on this record all around.
The title track is a dynamite opener that sets up the rest of the album perfectly. Locomotive Breath is the other standout track on a solid album that I don't listen to enough.
I come back to this album with regularity enough to recognize that it's good. I just don't go out of my way for it.
This was an absolutely terrible album. Nothing about it stood out and I question it's existence on this list.
This album is a classic but it's not my favorite. The Flying Burrito Brothers are nothing special in my mind and we're a product of their time which helped them succeed.
The quintessential punk rock album. Nothing fancy, gets it done. I come back to this album on a regular basis because I think it's just a great album and it defined a genre shift.
Other than the opening track, I believe this album by this supergroup is a product of the 1960s. I don't think it holds up to the test of time.
Dynamite album. There is not a bad track to be found on this album. Green Day took the Ramones blueprint and updated it to reflect the issues facing Gen X and eventually Millennials as those generation s came of age in a new era of punk rock. This album also defined the pop-punk movement of the late 90s and early 00s.
I don't understand what makes this album stand out. It's decent, but not high on my list of albums I would listen to again.
Phenomenal live album. It really showcases the band at its finest while jamming to some of their best tunes. It's great background listening.
The beats are good. I didn't relate to the lyrics but I respect the album. It was good to listen to while I did some housework today.
This album doesn't have anything that stands out to me
A classic album. There are several good tracks on this record that show the depth of the band's abilities. Comfortably Numb might be my favorite Pink Floyd track ever.
I genuinely enjoyed this album. I love Brazilian music and I love learning about Brazilian culture.
A very solid album and my favorite from U2. Post-punk before they became pop and I appreciate it more than their later music which evolved to adult alternative and abandoned their punk beginnings.
A very solid album, not my favorite of Oggy's work but it does have some solid tracks.
This is a fun album. It's a product of the 70s and showcases 70s europop at its finest.
I genuinely like ELP, this is not my favorite work of theirs but it's a great album
Stevie Wonder hits all the right notes here. It's a great album that shows a transition in his musical style
The music of the White Stripes is refreshingly simple yet also complex. Meg White is a phenomenal drummer, Jack White is a phenomenal guitarist. His vocals turn me off entirely.
Other than Tainted Love, this album is forgettable.
I cannot stand this album. It does not appeal to me at all.
This is one of the better efforts from the Beach Boys. Not Pet Sounds but something more experimental and bold. I think it shows their talent as it grows.
This album is a great example of a performer not trying to do too much and succeeding. I am not a big fan of country music but I respect the hell out of this album because it's not trying to be anything other than George Jones at his finest.
In my mind, the female equivalent of Johnny Rotten. The sound is unique but not enough to make me stop and question anything
Other than Southern Man, I can live without this album's existence. It does nothing for me.
Early rock and roll that's well done. I have a soft spot for this genre at this era. Pre-Beatles rock and roll was something special and a very unique sound is captured here.
A very solid album with several bangers on it. I don't know have a lot of reactions outside of that blanket statement.
Very much an 80s album. The vocals are impressive, but nothing stands out.
My favorite Doors album. The title track, Riders on the Storm, Love Her Madly, The Changling. Phenomenal album with so many good songs.
Good album, nothing stands out
Probably Cream's best album. For me, the thundering drums of Ginger Baker will always stand out over the more high profile guitar work of Eric Clapton. Jack Bruce's masterful bass playing is close behind Baker on this album. SWLABR, Sunshine of Your Love, and Tales of Brave Ulysses are some of the best tracks the band ever put out.
This album is boring, I have no other words
A band that was far ahead of its time and gone too soon. This is it's magnum opus.
This was like Iggy Pop gone Ska. I don't know how I feel about it.
