Not my regular go to artist, pleasant listening but not really my taste.
One of my favorite Rolling Stones records. But the Rolling Stones are not my favorite band so 3/5
Nice live recording, but soul music is not really my style. Three stars nonetheless
Simon and Garfunkel always hit an sweet spot by me. This is probably my most favourite album, but that is subject to change over time. 4/5
Yeah Soundgarden, but the album is way too long for being an ultimate record. 4/5
Not my favourite Nirvana album (which is Bleach), but hey it is Nirvana and not Nevermind, so 4 stars
Well what can I say about this. Totally not my genre, although I had my share with growing up in de age of Def Leppard, Guns 'n Roses and Motley Crue. Bands who are influenced by Hanoi Rocks some way or the other. But this bands stands out for more being an glam icon, the music is more punk than their successors. So 3 stars.
Knights of Cydonia is one of my favourite Muse tracks, the other songs are not in the same league, some are mediocre at its best. 2/5
Music from another generation. Import era in music, but not music I really like. One extra star for the importance in the history 3/5
This is too slick for my taste. Not really an expert in this genre, but it sounds not really outstanding in comparison to similar artist/releases.
The solo output from George Harrison shows how important he was for the Beatles sound. For me the most interesting member of the Beatles, with an exception for the Wings output from Paul McCartney. 4/5
Recently I got really into the ECM catalogue and was somewhat surprised that I missed out a lot of great music for such a long time. From first listen this record breaths energy. Best solo piano live recording I've heard.
This is the first album I did listen to before it popped up in the generator.
5/5
A little bit tired of School, but in the context of this album it was nice to hear it again. Not really got into Supertramp, but this is a record I would play more often.
Yes, one of the important albums of the 90's for me. 5/5
Big Pink Floyd fan, but with most of the solo material of the members this is real below the bands standard. Be it David Gilmour, Roger Waters and in this case Syd Barrett. Records which could easily be forgotten.
The Madcap Laughs doesn't reflect at any point the importance of Syd Barrett for the early Pink Floyd. A few songs are ok, but for the most part the songs are way too short and there is not really a connection between the songs. As mentioned earlier. The legacy of Syd Barrett was his membership in early Pink Floyd, not this end of life vehicle. 2/5
This is the kind of soul/funk I like. Especially the guitar segments are fantastic. That gives this album that tiny extra, which makes this a four star affair. Or is it the sunny weather that I appreciate this music at the moment more. 4/5
This is music I will listen to on an evening just before sleep. Quite relaxing stuff. But there is happening to little to make it an outstanding record. 3/5
Oh well CCR, never understood the very American hype about CCR. Yes they have some songs which are great, but also it is not ground breaking stuff.
Hell yeah, one of the legendary hiphop albums from the 80's. A milestone in the genre and not lost any urgency. 5/5
Hmmm don't know why this is listed here. Some nice tunes, but not really an album which listen as a whole. Only the longer Looking Glass builds up to something. 2/5
Growing up in the eighties, the new wave movement didn't really catch up on me. In later years the artist of that time, such as The Cure and Joy Division got more and more into my listening habit.
Echo and The Bunnymen didn't however made really that transition and with listening to this record I think they distinguish not really from the foresaid artists. An enjoyable album, maybe I will return to them more often, but the chances are that The Cure get more attention from me. 3/5
Great album with one of my favorite Springsteen tracks Jungleland. The sound is more authentic than for example Born in the USA. 4/5
Hell yeah, the second Public Enemy album in a short time. Hard to tell if I like this one more than It takes a Nation... Another essential hiphop album 5/5
Completely overlooked this album. The first entry of this list I didn't know the band and the record. Nice surprise and I will look further in their discography.
I can't get really into the music by Adam & The Ants. All the songs sounds a like and everytime I want to scream Stand and Deliver. Not my cup of tea
Yes Frank Zappa, somehow not really an artist I listen to, but when I listen to an record I'm always intrigued by the music. Also this lovely jazz-rock album.
Yes, Kate Bush is one of my favourite artists. This album is not only for the hits an extraordinary album. The second part is just stunning 5/5
No, not for me this music.
The similarities with The Flaming Lips are obvious, but where the Lips keeps your attention and full of surprises is this album more predictable. A few nice songs, especially in the second part of the album, but also some songs that could be easily skipped. 3/5
Growing up in the 80's I heard only the hits of Cyndi Lauper now more than 40 years later I hear for the first time the album containing her greatest hits in The Netherlands, 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun' & 'Time After Time'.
The other songs sounds familiair to the songs already known. So a trip to 80's synth memory lane but not one with a lot of depth or new insights. 3/5
One of the bands that were of great influence for me in the 80's metal scene. Maybe not their best album, for me that will be Countdown to Extinction, but nevertheless 5/5
Yes but not yes wow. Always felt that Yes was not really my cup of prog-rock tea. Too much emphasis on the high pitch vocals of Jon Anderson and less on structuring a good song. Also this release felt somehow disappointing. Some good passages, but also, for me, typical Yes songs which were not really engaging.
The song "I left my wallet.." was for a long time my favourite hiphop track without knowing the artists behind it. After a decennia I discovered the music of A Tribe Called Quest and still today it is one of my go to hiphop acts.
The whole album sounds a bit more of the same as the hit singles, so therefor for lack of some diversity 4/5
Ok, an album where the musicians and singer seems to play different songs. Maybe nice for a song of two, but the whole thing drags on. Sometimes there is some alignment, but those occassions are a few and afterwards I can't tell which song it was. One track stands out, the scream noise of "Don't". For that 3 out 5 stars
Surprisingly a few tracks I knew. But besides Time To Pretend and Kids the other tracks are not as consistent. Some great tracks, Future Reflections and 4th Dimensional Transition, but also some weak tracks, The Handshake for example. 3/5
Why didn't I listen to this album my whole life? A timeless record which will hopefully spin around my head for the forthcoming 45 years more often. 5/5
Music which was unavoidable when growing up. The soundtrack of the early years of going out. So a trip to memory lane. As band I lost interest in U2 after the Joshua Tree, but the albums before that are still albums I listen to occasionally with a lot of pleasure, so 4/5.
Black Sabbath, 5/5. Period.
The generator is on fire. After Black Sabbath an other lifetime favourite of mine: Peter Gabriel. Games without Frontiers and Biko are certainly the main songs of this album, but the other tracks are also extraordinary.
One of the better britpop groups. Really like this record, but overall it isn't really strong enough to get the full score. 4/5
Great guitar player, but on record this is not fully displayed. Too short songs with awful fade-outs. Only the longest track, If 6 was 9, you hear the real strength of Jimi Hendrix.
The sun is shining and the music is playing. The best setting for this music is there. So maybe my score is somewhat higher than I would normally give for this kind of records. All the songs have the same vibe, good for a song of two, but a whole album is too much for me. 3/5
Solid hits and the sound of an era . This album is amazing and one of the better commercial electronic albums within the then popular Big Beat genre (along with the Chemical Brothers Exit Planet Dust/Dig Your Own Hole). Favorite tracks: Diesel Power, Mindfields and Narayan. 5/5
Very pleasant album to listen to. Not really my genre,, but some songs strike the right chords.
One of the more expermental albums by David Bowie. Containing One of my favourite Bowie tracks Warszawa. But a few songs are way too short.
Just fine. Some nice tunes, some hits and some songs which are easily forgotten after listening.
No not for me. This is way too mellow and dull.
My previous album was Coldplay, so everything afterwards sounds refreshing and may have influenced my score for this. But this was really enjoyable listening and definitely a start for dig deeper in the discography of Elliott Smith. But as a whole it is not really an record which make much difference with similar artists. 3/5
It wonders me everytime how a band as Aerosmith has been changed from an interesting 70's heavy metal band to the annoying band it was in the 90's.
This album is a delight to listen to, every song got some kind of groove without losing the heaviness in the music. As the album progress the total experience flattens somehow, so 4/5
Follow up to Born To Run and this albums stands somewhere in the shadow of its predecessor. Some good songs, but it doesn't contains tracks like Jungleland or Backstreets.
One of the albums I didn't know it existed. But this is quite an interesting record. Nice laidback jazz tunes with a lot of depth. 4/5
Normally I listen only to best of The Doors compilations/hits. So it is nice to hear a complete album. Of course hits like Waiting For The Sun are the reference point, but the other songs are in the same vein. And that is somehow the downside of this album. Not a lot of variety, but a nice listening nonetheless. 3/5
My favourite Depeche Mode release for a long time (the more recently released Memento Mori album shoved Violator from the top spot). This is a stunning album from start to finish. 5/5
Well, never heard of this band and listen to this album it is obvious why this skipped my radar in the 90's and beyond. Forgettable punkrock funked up with some ska elements. Too catchy for being punk, but some songs are just fine to listen to
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds with one of my favourite albums. Killer tracks and for me the sound of that period. 5/5
One of the earlier bands exploring the dreampop genre. This album is an dreampop delight. As a whole there is some lack of diversity, so 4/5.
Very good alvum by the Pixies. A band which don't appear on my radar normally. But I need to check them more often
With Green Day I have a love and hate relationship. Sometimes when I hear a song I really love it but the most part of their discography doesn't anything to me. Also on this album a few great songs, for ezample the epic Jesus of Suburbia. But also some standard punk rock tracks, especially in the middle of the album
Huge fan of Miles Davis, especially the Columbia years. In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew and On The Corner. Birth Of The Cool is not in my list of favourite albums by Miles Davis, but this is an important album in the history of Jazz, so 4/5
Second album of A Tribe Called Quest. I liked their debut People's Instinct more than this solid effort. This one is a little bit less playfull, but a nice listen it was
Suprisingly good album. I really enjoyed listening to this and will definetily check out more of the band's work. Especially the early years, because Stephen Malkmus was part of it.
Early R.E.M. is always a delight to listen to. Although I like the latter output of the band. This early work has some more edge over it.4/5
Iconic hiphop album. Every track is an winner. Fun(ky) as hell probably isn't. 5/5
Pleasant 44 minutes of indie rock. Not ground breaking stuff though.
New name for me, but this is hiphop I really like. Some good flows and nice sampling.
Well, within the first 70 records I listen from this list, this is my third Public Enemy record (and the last one). Another amazing record. Compared to It takes an nation and Fear of a Black Planet this album sounds more of the same, but still above par of other rap/hiphop from that time.
Besides Kid A, In Rainbows is my favourite Radiohead album. Amazing complete album which get better everytime I listen too
Amazing and memorable record. I really like the jazz approach in many songs. Probably my favourite Bowie album. 5/5
Not a bad album at all. But with one hour and 15 minutes there could be easily some songs left to make an pleasant listening experience.
Some nice touches, especially in the longer tracks "Big Muff" and "Small Hours", the other tracks didn't get me and the forced vocals of John Martyn is hard to get used to.
Sometimes you need a shot of old fashioned punk rock and The Clash delivers. Not all the songs are good, but you know within two minutes another better track starts.
One of the (many) bands where, for me, the hits don't really show their true quality. On this release Message In A Bottle is not the standout track, although being one of The Police biggest hits. Tracks like Bring On The Night, Deathwish (and after that Walking On The Moon) shows how great this musicians can be. 4/5
The second album in this list of Elliott Smith and again I enjoyed listen to his music, not really outstanding but nice nonetheless
An album which contains the goal anthem of FC St. Pauli can't do any wrong in my world. Not all the songs are as cheerable, but overall a very interesting release.
Randy Newman, a name which is always present but I never listened a full album. The voice of Newman gives every song something special, making songs somewhat timeless. The album could use a bit more diversity between the tracks.
Elvis Costello, another name where I somehow didn't really get into the music. His voice really annoys me, the nasal style singing puts me off. After listening to this album my opinion has not changed, also the songs are not really special.
Not an mediocre song on this album, this is The Rolling Stones in full flight. Great mixture of styles. Americana, blues and jazz.
One of those releases I didn't know the existence till now. Especially in the longer tracks the soul, funk and jazz are working well together to some psychedelic effect.
The only downside of this album is that not all songs are long. The shorter tracks are more song based and leans more to soul funk and should have been replaced with one longer track.
Great psychedelic record, sometimes the organs are a little bit annoying (especially midway the record)
A great person, but singing in a genre I usually avoid. And this album is quite listenable for being country.
Ok I know the importance of Elvis Presley for the pop music and a generation of people idolizes him. But as some one born years after it looks more about the act, about the person than about the music. And the music is not my cup of tea, despite a nice version of Fever.
Mwoah, for me Red Hot Chili Peppers was interesting in the 80's. But with Blood Sugar Sex Magik they went spiraling downwards. This release is hard to come through with almost 75 minutes of music with a few good tracks but also a lot of fillers.
With the different styles showcased here the only constant negative is the 'singing' of Anthony Kiedis.
Normally I don't like really short tracks, but in the case of The Byrds I make an exception. Compact songwriting keeps this album interesting with all tracks clocking under the 4 minutes and many around the mark of two minutes.
The 60's music fueled with psychedelica really works for me.
The last Genesis album with Peter Gabriel and it still a pity that they moved apart from each other. Genesis became a pop band and although I love the Peter Gabriel solo output, it never reached the same heights as with the Genesis albums.
Classic timeless progrock.
For a long time I didn't really care for the output of Talking Heads, but the music is more and more growing on me. Especially this release is my favourite Talking Heads album and every time I play this record I love it more.
Great production by Brian Eno.
Great album which especially made a big impression on when performed live. The deepness of the bass really filled the venue. An experience which is not easy to copy in a living room setting. But nonetheless the album still stands as living room music.
The diversity of the whole album is not really great, just songs around the same concept.
This"live" album shows Thin Lizzy in full flight. how much live this recordings are will be an endless discussion. But it still remains one of the best live recordings from that era, maybe the live recordings of Deep Purple (In Japan) or Uriah heep (Live 1973) tops this record for me.
28 tracks within 41 minutes, does that make a coherent album? Mwoah, for me this doesn't really work. I like songs where you can grow into, get related to. These some sort of soundbites doesn't do that.
Elvis Costello is not my regular artist to listen to. Mainly the vocal part is for me an absolute no go. Brutal Youth doesn't really live to it's title. This is some mainstream indierock which will scare off any youngsters or anyone who loves good music.
This will not be everybodies taste, but for the during time of this record I enjoyed it. Not really groundbreaking but good old 60's folk psychedelica played in the 80's.
Second album of Jimi Hendrix for me in the list and this is definitely a more coherent album than Axis: Bold as Love. Although my main critic of the length of the songs still stands. The music of Hendrix deserves more depth in longer songs. But the songs on this album are working nonetheless even as there are some fade outs just when the guitar of Jimi Hendrix is on the foreground.
A more polished sound of Hole, which is not always working out. Some tracks become really plain rock songs and the more grunge style of earlier releases seems far away. Overall a decent rock album, nothing more, nothing less
OK, I pledge myself to hear every album on this album, but this one stretches my patient big time.. No, this is probably the worst album I heard during this list so far.
Amazing records, truly deserves to be on this list. Even people who hates jazz (I'm looking at you Johnny) should listen to this record. If this is not getting you in a good mood, I don't know what's wrong with you.
Timeless bossa nova / jazz.
Music years before I was born. Some nice tunes and pleasure to listen to, but the music doesn't stick with me. I could not really distinguish the music for a lot of bands emerging in that period of time.
Great blues rock album with Eric Clapton at his best. But the album suffers from being a bit too long. It could have been a single LP version skipping some of the covers.
I really liked the listening session for this one. Patti Smith is a name that I see regularly, but didn't really connect the dots with that she was an early punkster.
Now I'm gonna grave more into the discography of her.
Hell yeah Black Sabbath, 5/5, because on the 1001-scale every Black Sabbath ranks 5. Only point of criticism is that for this release the songs are more compact. In my opinion Black Sabbath true strenght lies in the tracks where the sound is more spread out. On the other hand this album contains a lot of great music.
On scale of Black Sabbath records 4/5
Ah good old classic blues rock of ZZ Top. What is not to like. Ok maybe to cheesy at times and don't expect complex song structures but clean fun.
Way too smooth rap from the 90's. A few tracks I can stand, but as a whole this album is not for me.
I always forget how old the music of Joni Mitchell actually is.
Blue is a timeless classic and could easily be released years later. One of the best singer/songwriter albums of alltime, right from the heart.
Oh yes, finally an album with tracks to live in. Long tracks which grow on you. Never heard an album by Isaac Hayes, but man what a revelation this is.
When going out in the 90's, there was always a moment in the evening that a song of Jamiroquai would pass by. In little doses I can tolerate the music, but when listening to a full album it becomes annoying.
Starting with a new recorded Mannish Boy and you're off for one of the best blues rides. One downside: you stay on the same road for about 45 minutes. But is a nice road.
One of the more interesting hiphop artists from the UK. Gorgeous flow, right use of music tracks under the raps. Nice find in the list
Oh boy this is always music I avoid as much as possible. Luckily the tracks don't last very long so within half an hour this exercise comes to an end. This music is way too old for my ears.
The hits album of Bruce Springsteen, also the time I heard for the first time of him. The forced way of singing has since always putting me off a little and it was until later that I really discovered Bruce Springsteen.
So a little trip to memory lane, but I like the earlier and some latter albums more.
Oh yeah, 80's industrial noise from Germany. Sometimes pretentious to the max, but complete to my taste in music. Well my neighbours and other persons in my surroundings will disagree, but fuck the haters.
From Einstürzende Neubauten to the Eurythmics a small step in this list a giant leap in music. From deconstructed music to perfectly assembled songs which make an typical 80's record.
A couple of hits (Love is a Stranger, Sweet Dreams), but the rest is more interesting. Especially the second half of the record, where the song durations are a bit longer, the real skills of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart come forward.
Really enjoyable listening session.
