My first Hendrix album actually listened to start to finish. I really liked it. I love the hippyish “yeah, baby” add ins and stuff. I think Jimi can play guitar a little.
Such a great album. I saw it in the theater! I would say Purple Rain is definitely a masterpiece, but this is pretty darn good.
It is funny this came right after Jimi Hendrix. Both guys are masterful musicians, but I do think Prince plays a lot of other instruments as well as all the writing and producing.
My second Hendrix album. I listened using my earbuds. Obvi Jimi’s so great and I love his experimentation. I was also taken with his band on this album. It looks like this album was put out within 7 months of Axis: Bold As Love. That’s insane.
I listened to this and Axis: Bold As Love in Apple Music and really enjoyed the “making of” at the end. Really interesting and they make you appreciate Jimi’s skills.
I don’t think I would’ve listened to this album had it not been for this project. I enjoyed it. I thought the album would be poppier, but it’s got an edge that I liked. The cover of Iron Man is hysterical.
Sleep To Dream, Criminal and Shadowboxer are such great songs. This is a really good album. I’m surprised Fiona didn’t have wider success.
This might be my first Sabbath album. I’m sorry I was so late to the party. I liked it. It’s weird how different “heavy metal” albums come across to me now.
I’m only 2 minutes in, but it’s amazing how much this sounds like the Beach Boys.
Overall I was disappointed in this album. I like the Zombies, but this just didn’t really do it for me.
I really like Beck. I should listen to him more. A lot of people are doing it now, but his musical approach was fun and unique at the time. And he has fun lyrics. This is a great album. Many of the songs got radio play.
I think this was the first Marilyn Manson album I’ve ever listened to. You can definitely hear some production by Trent. I did enjoy it. I know Brian Warner is a bad guy. It’s always difficult to separate the art from the human.
I’ve never listened to a Pink Floyd album start to finish. I don’t own Dark Side Of The Moon. Yet I’ve seen them twice.
This album might be a bit too trippy for my taste. It was fine. I’m sure it was groundbreaking, but hard to say since it was 1967.
I had never listened to this album. I liked it a lot. Not as polished as Goo, but I enjoyed it.
Sonic Youth and the Pixies are both Seminole bands. I think I prefer the Pixies, but I do like listening to Sonic Youth.
Sure I’ve heard the millions of singles, but I’ve never listened to a full album. I think I’d like Rumors a lot. I liked this one, but I didn’t love it.
I liked Not That Funny and Sisters Of The Moon.
This was a great comeback album for The Man In Black. A lot of fun covers. It seems like his voice is really forefront on this production.
I cringed when I got this assignment. I change the channel every time Jethro Tull is played.
This wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Stand out tracks are Mother Goose and Up To Me.
I was surprised how much this album sounded like Chris Isaak. Overall it was fine.
I didn’t know what I was getting into here. The album was fine. Some songs I did enjoy. I don’t know if I like his voice. I noticed Apple Music gave him song credit for Say Hello, Wave Goodbye.
You Are The Sunshine Of My Life and Superstitious are so so good. The rest of the album is good. But just based on those songs I’m giving this a 4-star.
Okay, fine. This was a pretty solid album. I’d def think it would’ve been a fun show to go to back in their day. I did like that the keyboards sounded kinda spacey and their logo is the spaceship.
I’m always impressed with rappers. There’s so many words! I wish I could give this a 3.5. I guess I’ll give it a 4. It’s pretty good.
Hard pass. Not for me.
I like Eminem, but I do think this album’s a little juvenile.
This is excellent. Great music. Good lyrics. No misogyny or tons of swearing. Just straight up fight the power.
A classic.
I wanna give it a 5, but I just can’t. It’s so so good though.
I liked it. It was fun that the blunders (forgotten lyrics and audio from knocked over things) were left in. I like that her voice sounds “happy”.
I can’t believe I had never heard of these guys. They didn’t sound super Manchester. I did like it!
I do tire of their sound after prolonged exposure nowadays, but this is a pretty awesome album.
It was def good, but I wasn’t super moved.
This was a really solid album. I enjoyed it a lot.
Another band I surprisingly never heard of. I liked this album. Interesting they were cancelled by reported abuse from seemingly one woman.
I haven’t liked what I’ve heard in the radio and this didn’t change my mind.
One is such a great song. I wish I could give this 3.5. But since I don’t think it’s a 4 . . .
My first Isaac Hayes album. This was dripping with cool. I love hearing the OF songs where samples have been lifted.
I wish I could give this 3.5. But since it’s def better than a 3 . . .
Really solid album.
I like the harmonizing voices, but didn’t think this was very good. I didn’t think it withstood the test of time very well.
The first Radiohead album I’ve actually listened to. Loved! I wasn’t a fan of We Suck Young Blood, but other than that this album is great.
Even with all lot of the songs being overplayed this is still an exceptional album.
I’ve never liked The Band. They just aren’t my thing. But I can hear that they’re a good band.
Very solid. I really enjoyed Billy Budd, which I don’t know if I’d heard.
Very solid. I really enjoyed Billy Budd, which I don’t know if I’d heard.
I enjoyed this. I hear a lot of Prince.
I wish I liked this more. I can tell the musicians are talented, but I just wasn’t moved. The funny thing is after the album finished a song (It Never Entered My Mind) by the Mikes Davis Quintet came on that I liked a lot better.
It’s fine.
Nope.
Lucretia My Reflection is such an awesome song. I need a 30- minute version. This album was good, but a bit monotonous.
Awesome.
Not my fave Beatles, but still a masterpiece.
This was a slow start. At first I was like meh, but by the end, I really loved it. I wouldn’t call ”Satisfaction” a soul song, but he nailed it.
Solid.
I loved this album. Just really solid rock album.
I loved this album. I enjoyed Black Tambourine.
Oh very sweet album.
I do like this. It’s interesting and different. My issue is there’s no continuity to the songs. Every time I start to get into it the beat changes or something. I think it’s an acquired taste. I love that. It’s original though.
This started out promising. By the end I think I’m giving it a 1. The production is way too needlessly fussy.
I really like this album. Fun and kinda quirky.
I had never actually listened to this album start to finish. Every song has been heard on the radio though. What can I say? It’s a masterpiece.
Talented musicians. Production quality is good. It started off really promising. But for me, this is a hard pass.
Solid.
Not a huge fan of what I hear on the radio. I didn’t love seeing this assignment, but this was a pretty good album!
I doubt I’ll ever listen to this again, but it was fine. Gotta love that Bo Diddley beat.
So good.
1001 albums. I’m on maybe 60. This is my 3rd Hendrix album. C’mon algorithm.
Obvi, the album is a masterpiece. Total props to Jimi's band for being everything he needed to be his best.
One thing I noticed today is Angelo Badalamenti has The Pink Room on the Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me soundtrack. The sweepy drum loopy sound is exactly like Jimi's Red House. I can't believe that's a coincidence, right?
This album has a few songs that I love. The title track really gives me the feelz. I really wanna do 3.75 stars.
I like Ministry. I like NIN. I don’t know why I can’t get behind these hardcore metal bands. I think it’s the “singing”.
It pains me to give this a 5. I really am not a fan of the redneck southern confederate rock. But this album’s good. And as much as people mock Free Bird I love that song. I love the slow build and the guitar. So good.
This is an amazing, solid rock and roll album. My only complaint would be it’s only 31 minutes. But every track is great.
I had zero clue what I was getting into here. I laughed when I saw it was 4 songs at about an hour long. Talk about jamming! I did enjoy this quite a bit, but I did find it to be a bit monotonous.
I loved this album back in the day. I hadn’t listened to it in ages. I still love it.
I didn’t realize how much Oasis sounds like them. These guys have a bit more depth, but Oasis is a little edgier musically.
I did enjoy this album. Some songs more than others. It’s basically all about love and relationships. It was good, but I’m surprised it would make this list.
This wouldn’t come up on Apple Music and I had to listen to it on Spotify, which was obnoxious and disjointed.
This was fine. It didn’t really move me one way or the other. I liked the fist song, but other than that I wasn’t crazy about it.
Sadly ThePolice didn’t make a ton of music, but what they did make was wonderful. This was the perfect album to end on.
I already rated this. Not sure why it came up again.
I liked this a lot. Esp. Black Tambourine.
I’m not sure why I’m getting this album again . . . .
The first Radiohead album I’ve actually listened to. Loved! I wasn’t a fan of We Suck Young Blood, but other than that this album is great.
Have I mentioned I wish there were half star ratings? I’d like to give this 3.5. I do like this album. This is an interesting choice for the 1001 compilation. I’d prolly go with the eponymous.
Have I mentioned I wish there were half star ratings? I’d like to give this 3.5. I went with 3.
I liked this! But it is soulless disco. And not every song was amazing. But great singing.
I looked it up. Turns out they they are indeed family. Sadly they all ended up suing each other.
I don’t think there’s another band in the world with a more appropriate band name.
I remember working at Kemp Mill when this came out. I got a free copy and listened to it in my room on my stereo. As soon as I heard Killing In The Name I was like “Oh shit. These guys are going somewhere.”
I kinda slept on RATM for a while, which I regret. They’re an amazing band.
Pretty solid debut album, right? Back Door Man has that great groove and I love hearing Jim geo into it in the beginning.
