Picture it: Fairview, North Carolina in the year 2000. I'm 7 years old and my best friend lives in a trailer park walking distance from where I live. His dad wasn't around very often, but anytime he was he was showing us something that he probably shouldn't have. This was usually excessively violent movies or some sort of drug paraphernalia. I'll never forget the day that he showed us the Kid Rock - Cowboy / Trigun AMV. I was 7 years old looking at big titty anime ladies trying to figure out what "Ima head out west with all of the women equipped with fake breasts" ment. It's a core memory that still sticks with me.......

My friends dad died of a heroin overdose 1 year later. Seams on brand for a Kid Rock fan.

This album surprised me! I'm not really an Aerosmith fan, but I like this album. It's a solid rock album with a couple standout songs. I do wish "Dulcimer Stomp" was longer.

A pretty standard singer songwriter album.

This isn't a particularly great album, but I had fun listening to it. That's more than I can say for a lot of albums on this list.

Someone gets either shot or fucked in every song. No notes.

That base player is on some good cocaine!

I liked the first two songs, but then it got sad, slow, and boring. Parts of the back half were ok, but I wish it would have kept the momentum from the beginning.

The seventh Neil Young album we've gotten....so far. Not his best. Not his worst. I never thought I'd be able to say that at the start of this list. Hard to be objective and I'm so tired of Neil Young.

This is my favorite Radiohead album I've listened to, but I still don't get the hype. This is a good album with a unique sound. I got lost in it, and it was over before I knew it. It wasn't life changing. Maybe at the time it meant more, but I really just don't get the Radiohead hype. 3.5 stars but I'm going to round up for the unexpected enjoyment I got out of it.

This is not the best Foo Fighters album, but it is the best Foo Fighters story. Not only did Dave Grohl, compose and record the entire thing by himself, he also released it under a pseudonym. He wanted to see if he could succeed again on the merits of his music and not his name. I really cool story and a solid album to back it up.

Man do I love Bob Marley. Almost all 5 star albums from him on this list. I am going to deduct 1 star for the studio version of "No Woman No Cry" rather than the live version.

I really like Rod Stewart, but I've always thought that this album is overrated. His voice is so unique that I will always enjoy what he's in. This just has nothing standing out. No hits. No great covers. It's just generic Stewart.

Another generic album that goes in one ear and out the other.

I have you given my thoughts about Bob Dylan in other reviews. What I want to know is why this album is so highly regarded? It doesn't seem like anything special of his. There's no hit songs on it. His other albums have just as deep of meaning. It's too long. I feel like I must be missing something.

This is a 4-star album. It has some of Bob Marley's best songs on it, but it's not his best album. It's really solid, and scratches that reggae itch. I know this isn't a perfect 5, but I'm such a sucker for Bob Marley, and "Stir It Up" is my favorite song of his, so I'm going to give it a 5.

I don't like Nick Cave or The Bad Seeds.

This album started out okay. Then it got weird. Then it got okay again. Then it got boring.

I was a little skeptical coming into this album. Sure Stevie Wonder is good, but a 1h 45m long album is going to loose at least one star just for it's length. I was expecting to rate this 3 stars (4 star album minus 1 star for the length).

Man was I wrong! This album is awesome! I get the hype. I was engaged the whole time. There are hidden gems in here like "Pastime Paradise", and all time hits like "Isn't She Lovely". There are political messages about racial poverty and stereo types. There are easy going instrumentals and get on your feet dance songs. I was sleeping on this album for too long.

It's always pleasant listening to a Nick Drake album. I liked Pink Moon more than this, but it was still a nice listen.

I really liked this. The beats are awesome, and the foreign vocals are like a cherry on top. Who knew acid-jazz would be my thing!
