I wasn't a fan of the first few songs, but "Stay" really got to me. I feel like I've heard it before but I can't find it referenced anywhere. It felt very nostalgic. I'm a much bigger fan of the second half of this album than the first.

Man, white people sure know how to party am I right?

A little too folky for my folk taste.

"The Grateful Dead have four more concerts this summer. I'm hoping by the last one I finally start liking them." - Geoff Schwartz; The Goldbergs.

The Grateful Dead is definitely a Stockholm syndrome band. No one likes them at first, but the more you listen the better they get. This is an absolutely classic album that deserves to be on the list, and a few songs have been drilled into my brain enough times for me to start liking them. I'm thinking 25 to 30 more listens and this may be one of my all time favorite albums.

Easy listening but a bit boring. I hate the songs in falsetto, but I really liked "Up With People". That song saved it from being a 2.

Is this cultural appropriation? Am I allowed to like this? Because I kinda do.

This is an album by Randy Newman.

I've been putting off putting together a presentation for work for about a week now. Today was the final day I had to turn it in. I sat down, put this album on, and cranked out a week's worth of procrastination in 1 hour. Absolutely perfect album to get work done to!

Right place and right time for this album.

I do like Ryan Adams' sound, but something just feels off about him. It's like he trying really hard to be cool. It just doesn't quite feel natural. Maybe I'm just looking to much into it, but it feels like he thinks he's already the next Bob Dylan with just his debut album.

This was a very pretty album. Not quite beautiful, but still enjoyable. Nothing really stood out to me, but I was flowing along nicely with it all afternoon. I was even thinking about giving it a 4 until a Fleetwood Mac song auto played right as the album was done, and I was reminded just how much better it was.

It's different.... not good, but it is different.

This is what the list is for! Amazing voice and I love hearing albums from other cultures.

"Mbube" was a fun surprise, and I really want to learn how to sing "The Click Song".

4/5 album. 5/5 pick for the list.

I'm a sucker for Rod Stewart, so finding out he was part of Faces was a huge discovery for me. "Stay with Me" is an all time song and I only knew it from Stewart's solo albums. I wonder how the royalties work with that one? Overall, I really liked this album. Totally understand if people say it's forgettable, but compared to a lot of this list, it's a hit!

It's fine. It's just....fine. Every album we've gotten by Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, or any combo of those names has been just.....fine.

Honestly, this was a really refreshing rock album after a bunch of duds on this list. I can't tell you a single song, but the whole album was a nice palate cleanser.

The kind of album that your friends older brother would play while driving you around in his Pontiac Sunfire.

I've heard of Patti Smith before but never listened to her. I guess I was expecting more from all the praise I heard so I was a little disappointed with this album. The two 9 minute songs were way too long. I like her voice, but only for about 2:30 minutes. After that it gets kind of annoying.

Smooth and easy to listen to. About what you expect to hear when you see the words jazz Rock together.

I was not expecting to like this nearly as much as I did. I came in thinking it was going to be a generic rap album, and that M.I.A. was a one hit wonder. She has a really cool sound with a blend of a bunch of genres. If you don't like it though you're going to hate this album because it doesn't change at all. Much better than I expected!

The music is pretty good, but I really don't like the vocals. This has happened a few times on this list before. The lead singer just really brings everyone else down. I keep going back and forth on if it's better to be boring and generic or unique and unlistenable.

Nah this ain't it man. Try again.
