I really really liked this album and the visuals it evoked. Lou Reed makes heroin sound like a really good time.

I have no idea why something like this is on this list. It's just flat out boring, there's nothing in the insturmentals or lyrics that make you say *Hey* You have to listen to this before you die.

I really enjoy Sonic Youth and this one takes up where Daydream Nation left off. I think this one is a little more accessible, for both good and bad. But I really liked it.

I had high hopes for this one after the first song, which I really enjoyed. Then it turned into typical background jazz music. Fine to be on while cooking diner, but nothing I will seek out.

What can I say except I just love Steely Dan. Maybe because I grew up listening to them, and my Dad is a big fan, but it's comfort music to me.

This album is no where near as good as Aja, but it's still a solid record, with some good tunes.

I like Nick Cave, at times. And other times I don't. It is 100% dependant on mood for me, and I don't think I was really in the mood for this one, at least not this time around.

I must have missed rating this (I thought I did first time through.) I really enjoyed it, I hadn't listened to this in quite a while, but it holds up really well. Good times, will be adding it to my listening rotation.

This is not for me. I don't like slow R&B, just not something I'll ever choose to listen to, and this one didn't change my mind about it. I didn't feel the need to turn it off, just bored, mostly.

I just don’t think I like prog-rock. Way to self-indulgent by the bands for me. Couple of songs on the critically “weaker” side B were okay, and I didn’t hate this as much as the last ELP, but I didn’t like any of it, either.

Pretty standard 70s rock, but done well. Couple of songs I could've left off, but some great ones, too. Good album.

I have heard this album so many times. I had a roommate in college that would literally only play GnR and Smashing Pumpkins. I got real tired of both of them after a full year of it.

But it's been a few years since I heard this all the way though. And it's really good. Some mega hits of course, amazing that so many big hits were on a debut album.

It may be a while before I listen to it again, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I didn't loathe it, and never really felt like I had to turn it off. But I have no idea what's going on in the lyrics since I don't speak french, so it is, at best, background music.

I would like concept albums more if the songs could all stand on their own. And these just don't. But a couple of really good one on here, and the overall album is pretty great.

I found this to be fine. I'm not a huge country music fan, and this didnt't change my mind, but I wouldn't mind listening to it again, either.

This one surprised me. I liked it a whole lot more than I expected to. Pretty good stuff!

This album surprised me. I thought I was going to hate it. I didn’t. Not bad

I really like Prince’s guitar work. But I’m just not a fan of his music overall. I’ve tried, but can’t get there. Still has one of my all time favorite guitar solos.

Not a fan. The covers I recognized were maybe a little neat, but the Sitar is an insturment that I can only take in small doses and an entire album of them is painful.

This album has one song (Motorcross) that I sort of liked. But the entire rest of the album is fairly standard alt rock that is turned to complete shit by Bjork’s wailing. Absolutely unlistenable.

This one was an instant 5 for me. Sure we can talk about how it's strange that one of their best known albums is a live album that is probably the antithesis of what Nirvana was live, but it doesn't matter.

The album is beautiful and haunting. It includes some of my favorite versions of their original songs (Pennyroyal Tea for sure) and the covers are all great.

This might be my favorite live album of all time.
