Man Lemmy rules, this album rules. Just a quick 36 minutes of rock. Love it.

This is better than the other Common record I got largely because it's about half as long. Common is a good lyricist and these are well produced albums. Not for me. But 43 minutes is a lot better than 78 minutes.

This album and this band is excellent. I was fortunate enough to see them a few years ago and they were way better than I was expecting. You can hear their influence everywhere, and hear things on this album that have been widely emulated by bands since them. Really fit my mood this morning nicely.

I liked this way more than I was expecting I would. I am in general not a big fan of Trip-hop. I had already had another Portishead album, "Dummy" a while ago, and I like this one way more. Enjoyable listen for sure.

This album is a beautiful meandering masterpiece.

What a breath of fresh air. I would have never expected something like this to be on this list. It surprises me every once in a while I guess. Very lovely.

Definitely not the best. Grunge is not great. Nirvana holds a place in my heart, but everything else which I never listened to at the time, just isn't for me. Chris Cornell obviously has a great voice, and there are some bangers on this album, the only thing saving it from a 1 star review.

This is a solid 1 star, just because this thing doesn't allow anything less. Get it out of here. Never again.

Ha this album was not what I was expecting. I know the big Dire Straits hits for sure, but haven't really gotten in to the albums much. Outside of the well known songs, this album just sounds a lot like... Dylan... to me. Which I was not expecting. It was fine for sure, nothing to get too crazy about though.

Dead Kennedys are great. An absolutely vital energy and ethos and message. 14 tracks in 33 minutes is just what I want from a punk record too. Absolutely loved hearing this for the first time in quite a while.

This seems like another inconsequential album that is only on this list due to UK bias. Get it out of here.

Pretty inconsequential. There is just nothing here for me.

A weird and out there record, pretty much what I was expecting. This was fun and bubblegummy and weird and dissonant at the same time. Great record.

Fishbone is awesome. This is a classic record that I used to hear quite a bit at a former job, but it's been a while. This was a great listen on a lazy Sunday morning.

This is soooo bad. Green Day played a pretty pivotal role in my very early years listening to music. Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, even Nimrod were all great. Dookie was absolutely vital. I had never listened to this before and I can't believe how far they fell with this record. It's absolutely pandering and derivative and feels so phoned in. As it went on I was realizing more and more that I find it down right offensive. And it just goes and goes and goes, it's way too long. This has to be a candidate for leaving the list when newer stuff is added. 1 star all the way.

Time and a place. Some bangers for sure. George Michael has a genuinely great voice. This style of music is just a bit too heavy 80s for me.

I have heard this band a bunch obviously, but have never listened to them outside of the stuff playing in the world, radio hits and what have you. They are certainly a very easy band to goof on which I enjoy doing. This was about what I was expecting, a bit dramatic, but cool guitar tones, and the songs are catchy for sure. Decent album.

Rush is truly a wild band. No one else like them. Virtuosity everywhere. Tough to knock it too much even if it's not for you.

Totally unfamiliar with this band or this record, but man this was interesting, fun and far out. Super solid record all around and really enjoyed it. I actually listened to the extra half hour of bonus stuff that the streaming release has, which I never do for albums on this--so I think that is really saying something.

This is one of those albums that everyone has some sort of impression of, it's impossible to not have encountered it in some form. It's frankly an incredible record for it's time and place in terms of musicianship and production. I think it's pretty tough to objectively argue against it being 5 stars.
