This sounds like a demo tape some kids made when they were 13. The rapping is all end rhymes and extremely basic. He literally rhymes money with funny. And the hooks asker laughably bad. Is this supposed to be like the shags where it’s so bad it’s good or this is what passes for good hip hop in the UK?

I dig the instrumentals but the overall sound is a little too James Taylor California soft rock for me. It’s like that but a little more country leaning, more fiddle and stuff which is cool. The lady singer who does harmonies was really good too.

I was surprised that I liked this as much as I did. I’ve heard other Eno albums and wasn’t super impressed. He’s a great producer but I never cared for his solo output as of now. This album was cool though, some interesting stuff on here. It wasn’t all amazing, some duds, but I’m glad I heard it.

Not bad, pretty chill.

Top notch production. The Neptunes were really operating on another level in the 2000s. It’s weird that Cry Me a River was the big hit from this one, that song was unavoidable when it came out. I never liked it, there’s way better songs on here, Rock your Body was another single that did well but I remember River was the big one. Production aside there’s some cool songs on here and some major duds. I feel like it’s a high 2, low 3 but I’ll give it a 3 cause I’m in a good mood today.

I have to agree with Robby, Def Leppard Sucks!
If someone told me they made this album specifically to annoy me I would believe them. I hate the singer, I hate group chanted vocals, I hate when rock music is overproduced. This album has all those things! On top of that, every song is three minutes too long, making for a bloated turd of an album. Dear god I hope this is the only album by these dorks on this list.

This was a huge departure from Arise, the only other album I’ve heard from these guys. I loved Arise but this, not so much. My first thought was it sounds very nu metal. Then I looked it up and they worked with a bunch of nu metal guys on this album. I’m just not a nu metal guy, so this album wasn’t it for me. Also, skip the last song, it’s thirteen minutes of tribal chants.

I have a soft spot for the doors, I was really into them in high school and even though I’ve kind of grown past them, I still have a nostalgic enjoyment of some of their music. I said all that to say this album was rough. Don’t get me wrong, Waiting for the Sun and Peace Frog are two of their best songs. Everything else on here is pretty bad. I like psychedelic weird Doors, not bar band Doors, and a lot of this was boring blues rock. The other songs were weirdly sentimental ballads that really showcase how Morrison’s poetry wasn’t always great.

Well this kicked ass. Billy Bragg’s voice has gotten a lot better with age I guess. I listened to one of his early solo albums for this list and I couldn’t stand him but I liked him on here. I’m also a Wilco fan so the Tweedy sung songs I very much enjoyed. Usually I save my fives for absolutely perfect albums but this one is close enough so a five it is.

This one dragged a bit more than the last Pumpkins album I got in this list and that one was longer I believe. Still I’m finding myself surprised by how great the Pumpkins are. I always liked a few songs, but never dug into an album, just the greatest hits. There’s not a bad song on here even if it is a little bloated.

Not bad! When I dream was an excellent closer. The album started out sounding a bit generic, but it got unique pretty quickly and I enjoyed it. Again, I wish this was a 1-10 scale because this isn’t a 4 for me but it’s better than a 3.

Who knew tango and electronica would meld so perfectly. This was great, a very chill album.

This was unexpectedly cool. I’m not usually big on R&B but this wasn’t your typical R&B. I’m talking like Usher, Ne-Yo, you know like sexy pop music. This was closer to instrumental hip hop and I dig it. For me it’s a very high three but it’s close enough that I’m giving it a four.

Wonderfully weird. Sentimental journey was unnecessary but other than that this was a cool album. Loved the use of dissonance.

I don’t know how it goes in England, but in America we all decorate our own Christmas trees. Santa brings us presents, he doesn’t do anything with the tree. That being said, this guy has some bars but I didn’t love the album. The production was great, but some of the hooks were god awful, like painful to listen to. And the skit where the guy said fam 70,000 times was obnoxious.

There was one cool song on here. No idea what it was because I had to listen on YouTube where it’s just the whole album as a video, not available on Spotify. It’s at about the 43 minute mark. The beginning of the album is so tinny, lots of high pitched sounds with little bass. Definitely not what I look for in electronic dance music. The second half was a bit better but still not very good.

Dreamer is my favorite Supertramp song. There’s a bunch of other good ones on here. Not every one was amazing but a solid album.

It’s wild listening to this and knowing what future Aphex Twin albums sound like. This is pretty chill and atmospheric for the most part. I like it, but if this was all I’d ever heard from Aphex Twin I would be a bit underwhelmed. It’s a solid album but his other stuff is groundbreaking. Here’s hoping The Richard D James album or Druqks is on the list!

Better than Ritual De Lo Habitual but I still find this band to be annoying, mostly Perry Farrel’s vocals. Hopefully now that I’ve had two in the same week I’ll be done with Jane’s Addiction for the rest of this list.

So I looked it up and Greatest Hits is the Eagles best selling album. That makes sense cause their album tracks are pretty meh. I also didn’t really like the hits off this album but I get why they were popular.
