Cannot go wrong with Nirvana and definitely one of the best albums.
Album is an easy listen and would be good for it's time period, but not something I would listen too regularly.
Album is a great flow from start to finish and the best material Prodigy has put out.
Album is pretty mellow and has a relaxing vibe. It flows well from start to finish.
Everyday People is a classic and a good song. Beyond that this album is just ok.
Jazz is not really my vibe but this album was upbeat and had a great feel to it.
Album would have been ahead of it's time back in 1996. Was a good listen.
Typical guitar riffs from the ZZ Top boys. Album is good with a few of their popular hits for sure. Has that feel of 80s rock.
It was an easy listen and reminded me of why I have never been a Beatles fan. For the most part this album is pedestrian and provides nothing special. Definitely not something I would listen to regularly or even again.
Album seemed well put together but for some reason I just could not get into the vocals. His voice seemed as if he was trying way too hard to produce something that was not reachable. I can definitely see why others love it, but I was not one of them and felt it was average at best.
The first song is definitely not a good start to the album. I had not listened to Wilco much but see the band name quite a bit, so I thought man they have to be pretty good. To be honest, I walked away feeling like I had listened to a budget version of Radiohead after several of the songs. The album seemed ok overall and was worth the listen, but I can't say it was one I would probably listen to multiple times.
While Sinead is a great singer and this album is regarded by many as one of their favorite and best albums, I find this album to be just average. It does flow well and has some songs that are better than others but overal I feel it is not an album that will blow someone away.
Solid album with a couple of true classics in Heart of Glass and One Way Or Another. The album overall is a good listen and Deborah Harry's voice is always on point. Would definitely listen to this one again.
The Smiths are highly regarded my many and Morrissey's voice is unmistakable for sure. While I find the Smiths to be but an average alternative band from the early 80s, they do have some good hits and one of them is Big Mouth Strikes Again, which is the best song on the album. The rest of the album is average to me. It is an easy listen but can get monotonous at times.
Talking Heads are the atypical alt pop band from the 70s to 80s. They had some pretty good hits, but unfortunately not many were on the same albums. This album is decent but Pyscho Killer is really the only good song.
I had no idea who Scott Walked was and even after reading his Wiki along with that of his original group, I still wondered how he made the list. This album was dull and seemed repetitive. It was hard at times to even know whether it had moved from song to song. Definitely would not give this a second listen.
The Who are an iconic band that most people have heard of and they have songs that are easily recognizable. However, this album is average at best and does not contain any of their big hits. It is an easy listen and flows well.
One of the greatest albums of all time. The flow of music is perfect between the vocals from Linsay, Christine and of course the one and only Stevie, who is recognizable even today. The vibe from this album will make any day better. This is an album I listen to regularly and always enjoy.
I am not a Jazz person but I know of Coltrane and this album seemed well put together and definitely showed his skill as a sax player. I was between giving it 3 or 4 stars and leaned more towards a high ranking.
In a time when alternative rock was booming with new bands and tons of new sounds, Linkin Park was able to set themselves apart from most with their debut album. This album is full of great hits that are still better than most of what is produced today, 26 years later. I won't say every track is a banger, but there are several and it shows. Album is solid front to back and never gets old.
Album was a good listen. There were a few hits on it as well as other good songs, overall it is an easy listen and flows pretty well. It gets 4 stars since I think it is better than just your average 70's rock album.
Dolly is a country music Legend and an Icon. She was a genuinely great singer and an even better human being, this world lost one of the greatest that has ever done it. This album is full of some good storytelling and some great vocals. Growing up my parents listened to country and I ended up listening to a lot of it as well despite my dislike for country music. Dolly has made a ton of music and has more hits than most artists. This album though is not a show stopper, it has a good feel and flow, but it is not the best Dolly has produced.
Dylan is a good songwriter, but good singer is debatable for sure. This album shows that point. Dylan has never been a favorite of mine bu I can appreciate his music for what it is. This album is a decent listen but some of the songs definitely drag out the time and could have been shorter.
Abbey Road was my second Beatles album on the list and is definitely a better album overall than Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It still comes with a caviat that the Beatles make average music, plain and simple. I just cannot put them on the pedestal that some do. The song writing is good not great and at times seems like a very far reach for something more. This album is one that is easy to listen to but also easy to get crowded into the background and ignored.
The Pixies are definitely one of the original alternative bands that influenced a ton of other artists, bands and music genres even. For those of you saying this album is all over the place and the screaming is too much, well welcome to Alternative Rock. I won't say this album is the best that has ever been but it is a very good album front to back. Things that set it apart is the fact that some songs are driven off the lyrics and vocals, where others are purely the instruments pushing the envelope. Album gets a sold 4 from me and I have listened to it many times and will continue to when the need arises.
I had heard the name Muddy Waters many times and knew he was known for the Blues, yet I had never listened to an entire album or paid much attention. After listening to this album I realized that I had heard a couple of his songs before. Even through Blues is not my style of music, I found this album to be entertaining and worth the listen and can see why he has influenced many other artists.
This album most definitely started with the best track but that does not mean it was the only good song. There were other songs but overall this album was just average to me. A-ha does show up on classic alternative and classic pop stations/playlists and they are an easy listen. The album flowed well and was enjoyable, not sure I would throw it into a regular rotation of music, but I would give it another listen for sure.
I have heard songs from Lupe Fiasco here and there over the years and some were good while others were just meh or outright terrible. I would say this entire album lies right in the middle as well. Nothing great to write home about for sure. At times, there were good beats and flows in teh lyrics but overall this album was pedestrian. I am being generous and giving it three stars as that would make it 6/10 and really it was only about a 4 or 5/10.
This album by the Pogues was entertaining for sure. It had some good songs as well as some that could have been skipped and would not have been missed. It definitely had a range of ups and downs and was a decent listen. I gave it three stars as it was about average or a little better to me, but wasn't good enough to earn 4 stars.
