Unfortunately, the album was only available as an incomplete extended version and as a remix of one track from my streaming provider. So I couldn't get a complete picture of it. I liked what I heard. I want to listen to more Funkadelic, but unfortunately I can't rate the album completely. 4/5

I tried again, but I don't get on with the genre. I played the first track on the album. As not much happened musically at the beginning, I skipped on. No change. I watched most of the video for the second piece. Pretty girls dancing there. But that would be the best thing about it. Finally, I listened to Mama Said Knock You Out, but finished it quickly. What I heard of the album wasn't as annoying as other albums in the genre. Nevertheless, I don't need this album either. 1/5

I think Radiohead is great. One night I heard Karma Police and was thrilled. Since then, I've listened to more and more of the band and integrated them into my constant stream. And so I also knew this album and have it in my collection. But apparently I didn't listen to it that closely. I love the songs 2+2=5 and There, There. The rest appeals to me much less. That's actually a bit disappointing. This is still a good Radiohead album, but there are clearly better ones by the band. 4/5

You had to have this album in my youth, even years after the release date. I didn't have it. Many songs were played at cozy gatherings in the cliques back then. The girls in particular preferred this album. That's why I have fond memories of it. I like listening to Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Boxer again. Overall, however, the music has always been too cloying for me. 3/5

Amazing, a halfway boring album from the Beatles. Even the hits are uninteresting. I think I had this album in my ear when I developed my youthful dislike of the Beatles. Fortunately, I got to know and appreciate the Beatles better, not least through this project. But this album has very little to do with that. I might listen to one or two songs from it again. I'd rather like ti forget the existence of the rest. 2/5

The album and band were completely unknown to me. When I heard the first track, I thought it might be quite interesting. In between, however, I found the music a bit boring. But then it was very pleasant. In the end, I enjoyed listening to the album, but I probably won't listen to it again any time soon. But who knows? 4/5

I quite liked Bobby Womack's album. But it didn't impress me as much as other albums in this genre. It was good, but not thrilling. Still, it was nice to have heard it. 4/5

I've always associated Coldplay with more or less boring pop. Now I've listened to the album. I wasn't entirely wrong in my opinion. There are a few nice tracks on the album, but it's not really thrilling. There are more interesting pop albums out there. 3/5

I had never heard of the band or the album before. After the first few bars of the first track, however, I was interested. An interesting sound. I quite enjoyed listening to the album. In the end, I found the longer a capella parts a bit exhausting. I probably won't listen to the album again, but it was definitely interesting. 3/5

Phew, I find Janet Jackson's pop songs boring and annoying. I tried to listen more closely to some of the tracks on the album. They really got on my nerves. I stopped the whole thing and prefer to listen to good music instead. 1/5

Another hip hop album. As so often, I gave it a quick listen. Nothing that interested me. And so I finished it quickly. 1/5

I like the mainstream punk of The Offspring. It's fast and dirty. But you can still recognize melodies and rhythm. It's just fun. This album is no exception. The track Self Esteem finds its place in my list of favorites. After listening to the album, I played The Offspring for quite a while. That was great. 5/5

I only know The Verve from their biggest success, Bitter Sweet Symphony. I liked it back then. However, I listened to it too often. Eventually it got on my nerves. I found the band's other stuff uninteresting. And I feel the same way about this album, uninteresting. Like other commentators here, it's not clear to me why The Verve is represented on the list with more than one album. 3/5

Adele has a great voice. The songs are beautifully arranged. When I heard Adele for the first time, her voice and music seemed familiar from the old days. It sounds like music from the late 50s or early 60s, the kind that was probably never played and only exists in my memory. But this pleasant pop is like popcorn, just too sweet at some point. It lacks the intellectual hook that makes me want to listen to the album again and again. 3/5

So today it's hip hop again. I actually had to spend more time with the album than I usually do with hip hop albums. I liked the sound of the first track. It sounded like jazz. The chanting wasn't as aggressive as in other albums of the genre, the voices didn't sound quite shrill. Maybe this is the first Hio Hop album that I like? After I got to the 3rd track, the rhythm and melody hardly differed from the previous tracks, I listened briefly to Butter. No noticeable change for me. Check the Rhime was explicitly mentioned, so I listened to that too, or rather watched the clip almost in its entirety. It all looked quite cool, but didn't excite me enough to want to watch the video in full. Even though this album might not have put me off as much as other albums, hip hop is not my genre. 2/4

Can, the epitome and key player of German Krautrock. What happened in the German music scene at the end of the 60s and beginning of the 70s was extraordinary. Great music was created at that time. It still sounds remarkable to me. Unfortunately, I couldn't really enjoy them at the time. But by the end of the 70s at the latest, I appreciated Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Kraftwerk. I only got into Can later, after I had become more involved with Krautrock. For me, the future days of the album still lie more than 50 years after its release in the future. 4/5

Actually, the music was supposed to be exactly my style. I was looking forward to listening to the album. Somehow I didn't get on with it today. I wasn't impressed by the music. Somehow I found it quite flat. I only liked the piece That's Entertainment quite a bit. 3/5

This album was everywhere in the 80s. I liked it back then too. Then Simple Minds and this album fell into oblivion. At the beginning of the 2000s I found the album on a bargain table, bought it and hardly listened to it. But now again. I was skeptical at first and during the first few songs. I could still remember Promised You a Miracle well. I thought that was it and I'd only listen to the rest briefly. I actually quite liked the other tracks. I may have underestimated the album and will listen to it again. 4/5

This is now the 3rd album by the band in this project, which I have never heard of before. Again, I find the music very interesting and melodic. Nevertheless, I'm not really enthusiastic about it. 3/3

The name of the band The Lemonheads sound familiar to me. But after listening to the album, I didn't notice much that was familiar. I didn't find the music particularly impressive. I liked It's a Shame About Ray. I soon found the cover version of Mrs. Robinson better than the original. The rest of the album strummed pleasantly but unimpressively in the background. 3/5
