Amazing album; "Live Forever" is one of my favorite Oasis songs
A classic from Simon & Garfunkel; I used to listen to "Cecilia" all the time as a teenager, so Bridge Over Troubled Water brings back a lot of memories
Jagged Little Pill is one of my favorite albums of all time, and there isn't a single bad song to be found here
Rumours is another one of my all-time favorite albums with zero bad songs to be found
Not Purple Rain, but still one of his best
Decent, but I prefer their disco tunes
Not my style
Really not a fan
Better than expected
It was fine, but a bit too derivative imo
I’m more partial to The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, but Highway 61 Revisited is a great album in its own right
Is it Rumours or Fleetwood Mac's self-titled album? No, but Tusk is still a solid departure from those sounds.
Really good '90s West Coast hip hop!
Needed more songs like Clint Eastwood, Rock the House, and 19-2000
I wasn't feeling this album at first, but it started to grow on me after the first couple of songs.
They're all right - I think I prefer the instrumentals over the vocals though. I can also hear Stone Roses's influence on bands that came after them, like Kaiser Chiefs (and maybe even Oasis).
Not a bad blues rock album
Groovy psychedelic soul
Sixteen Saltines
My favorite Smashing Pumpkins album; Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the definition of nostalgia for my teenage years
This isn't something I would have thought to listen to on my own, but I'm glad I did. I enjoyed it!
Like the Cure, but just not as good. Doesn't give me the same hit of sadness and despair.
This album has aged well. Shirley Manson is at her best here, and you can't deny that "Only Happy When It Rains" is a classic.
This is another album that I wouldn't have thought to listen to on my own, but I ended up loving it! It was the perfect rainy day album. I'm going to add it to my regular rotation.
I mean, it's good, but I'm not so sure it deserves a spot on this list.
Celebrity Skin is way better, in my opinion. I know this is Hole's breakthrough album, but I'm not sure why this is the one they're known for; that being said, Dollparts is a decent song.
"Sea Song" was definitely inspired by "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." The entire album sounds like it was written during an acid trip, but in a way that makes it kind of charming. I hope Robert's hedgehog friend is okay after bursting the tyres all day.
Darkness, imprisoning me
While I appreciate Joy Division and their musical impact (they've influenced some of my favorite artists, like Nine Inch Nails and Smashing Pumpkins), this album just wasn't hitting for me.
Classic album. Sounds much better in mono.
George Michael is one of those rare cases where the artist's solo music is better than the music they created when they were part of a group (and I say this as someone who enjoys the occasional Wham! song). I'm a fan of this album.
A chill album, perfect for a Sunday, but not something I'd listen to regularly.
I always forget how good this is, especially for a live album.
Another chill album, though I'll have to listen to more of his stuff to really understand the hype.
They're angry about something, but I like it.
There are some great tunes on Led Zeppelin's sophomore album.
I don't usually enjoy live albums, but this one possessed a kind of energy that's extremely difficult to capture. It was like I was at the Harlem Square Club hearing Sam Cooke sing in person, instead of listening to a recording of a live performance from 63 years ago.
Dark, adventurous, and experimental, Music for the Masses is a defining electronic pop album, and I can see why it brought Depeche Mode so much success.
It's true, you can't always get what you want. Except when it's a timeless classic rock album, because Let It Bleed is exactly that.
Eh, it's okay.
"The Weight" is decent, but The Band doesn't really speak to me.
Really solid album, a bunch of bangers on this one
Joni Mitchell is like Bob Dylan, except she can sing. That isn't an original take in the slightest, but it's true. And I say that as a Bob Dylan fan.
His music is fine, but it leans too much on the boring side for me.
I like the guitar, and "Sultans of Swing" is a classic, but otherwise I wasn't a huge fan.
I don't know what this is, but it isn't very good.
I’m personally more of a London Calling fan, but this album is pretty good too.
Perfect album, no notes.
Wir fahr'n, fahr'n, fahr'n auf der Autobahn
This song takes up more than half of the album's runtime, but that's okay, because it's the only track the album needed in the first place.
The album kicks off with grungier Hole vibes, but once it gets to "G-Song," it shifts to a sound that I can only describe as a mix of The Rolling Stones and a bunch of English rock bands from the early 2000's (though I suppose the latter were likely inspired by Supergrass).
Maybe it's just me, but all of the songs kinda sound the same.
This album must be pretty obscure, because I had to find it on YouTube to be able to listen to it. I'm not sure what to make of it. It's okay, not really my cup of tea to be honest.
I initially expected this album to bore me, but surprisingly, it didn't. It was actually sort of pleasant to listen to as background music while I completed random tasks.
I'm really not a Coldplay fan, but this is fine. The two most popular tracks ("The Scientist" and "Clocks") are the best songs on the album, but "In My Place" is up there too.
NEU 75! starts off so chill, and then all of a sudden, as soon as it gets to "Hero," it turns into a weird version of "White Wedding" by Bill Idol (yes, I'm aware that "White Wedding" was released after this album, but my point still stands).
Good jazz album
This honestly wasn't good at all.
Probably The White Stripes's best album
One of the most boring movie soundtracks I've ever heard
This is just painful.
A much-needed breath of fresh air after Dwight Yoakam
Perfect album
Starting your album off with screeching audio cutting out doesn't exactly make the best first impression.
One of my favorite albums of all time
I'm not big on country music, but Johnny Cash is all right.
Sounds like a generic '90s alternative rock album
They all look the same and all of their songs sound the same too.
I didn't expect another Joni Mitchell album so soon, but this one is pretty chill.
I’m getting a bit tired of the live albums to be honest, but this one was pretty good.
Very '60s, but I liked it more than I thought I would!
Not something I'd typically listen to, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Incredibly boring
An excellent jazz album
Somehow, I've never heard Elvis Costello & The Attractions before today. I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed This Year's Model. "Pump It Up" has to be my favorite track.
One of Led Zeppelin's best. I especially love the funk-inspired "Trampled Under Foot" and, of course, you can't go wrong with "Kashmir."
This is really, really bad.
This isn't a genre I typically listen to, but I have to admit that this album was far better than "OK" to me.
This is all right - nothing to write home about, honestly.
My initial reaction was, "Joni Mitchell, *again*?" I'm glad I listened though, because now I understand Blue's hype. It's an incredible album. I can see myself listening to it again when I need to relax and unwind on a rainy day.
I had never heard of the shoegaze genre before listening to My Bloody Valentine. My immediate thought upon playing Loveless (once I managed to find it on YouTube) was, "Billy Corgan was definitely influenced by these guys." Smashing Pumpkins does it better, in my opinion, but Loveless is still a solid album in its own right.
Certainly avant-garde and a bit weird, but not bad
This isn't the most exciting album. It isn't bad, but I'm still not sure I understand the hype surrounding Beck.
I wasn't prepared for another avant-garde artist almost immediately after Björk, but Laibach is very unique. They're almost certainly what I'd consider to be an acquired taste, but Opus Dei sounds like something I'd return to in the future and give another listen.
For some reason, I never got into the Yeah Yeah Yeahs when they were at the height of their fame. I think I missed out though, because they're pretty good.
I don't have many notes for this one. It's fine, but it isn't particularly enjoyable or something I'd listen to again.
I've always loved Nirvana. While Nevermind has a slight edge over In Utero and Bleach (in my opinion), I still find myself returning to In Utero time and time again. "All Apologies" gets stuck in my head more often than I'd like to admit.
You can never go wrong with Queen. Plus, A Night at the Opera has one of the best songs ever written on it (Bohemian Rhapsody), so that makes it even better in my book.
Thanks, but no thanks
This is actually pretty good!
A true masterpiece and the perfect rock opera
A lot better than I thought it would be - I was pleasantly surprised
A solid soul album
Same as it ever was
This is my first time listening to Fela Kuti and the Afrobeat genre, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed.
Not my kind of music, personally, but I can appreciate Dusty Springfield's lasting impact on music
Another masterpiece that I can listen to time and time again
Déjà Vu doesn't have my favorite Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song (Ohio), but it's still a great album in its own right.
This is fine, but it's ultimately not for me.
Sadly, I'm not a fan. I stuck it out and listened to the entire two hours and fifty-two minutes, but it didn't change my mind. It isn't the worst thing I've ever listened to, but I can't say that I enjoyed it.
Outside of "Where Is My Mind," the rest of Surfer Rosa gave me a headache. Very disappointing, because I thought I'd like it. Maybe I'll return to it later and see if it hits differently the second time.
I've always been indifferent about The Eagles, and listening to the entirety of Hotel California hasn't seemed to change that. I am a fan of the title track, but otherwise, this album is just "meh" for me.
As a Janis Joplin fan, I have to say that Big Brother & The Holding Company is pretty good.
When an album kicks off with a song like "Break On Through (To The Other Side)," you know you're in for a treat. The Doors's self-titled debut properly sets the stage for this iconic rock band.
An ode to weed if I've ever heard one. Not bad though
I had never heard anything by Fairport Convention before listening to Liege & Lief, but I really liked it. I can see why it's considered to be such an influential folk album.
This isn't the worst thing I've ever heard, but it isn't for me.
I don't like yacht rock, and unfortunately, Aja wasn't able to change my mind.
Copper Blue is a fairly generic '90s alternative rock album. I didn't hate it, but I can't say there's anything particularly noteworthy that sets Sugar's music apart from similar bands.
Very cool and kinda trippy; I feel like this could have been the soundtrack to a video game or action movie in the '90s.
Duran Duran has a way of putting me in a good mood, and Rio is them at their best.
I'm liking their electronic beats.
Not terrible, but kinda boring and makes me think of Coldplay
One of my favorite albums; brings me straight back to being an angsty teen
Honestly, this was better than I expected
Chelsea Girl sounds like a less intense Amanda Palmer/Dresden Dolls, which I prefer for a multitude of reasons. I can see myself listening to Nico again in the future.
Echo & The Bunnymen is fairly generic '80s English rock, but Crocodiles is a fun listen regardless.
