When I saw them live, Mick Jagger put on an amazing performance for an extended edition of Midnight Rambler. It really made me appreciate the song more. He was going all into it

I don’t like the term “world” music but man do I tend to like it more in the generator

I like the descending synth sounds that sound like Pac-Man dying

KalaM.I.A.

Rated 4/10

Paper Planes copying from Straight to Hell by The Clash is pretty neat

I like the ascending synth sound in Jimmy that sounds like starting a new lap in Mario Kart. And some sorta interesting electronic stuff on the later tracks before Paper Planes

HysteriaDef Leppard

Rated 6/10

I have known this album for some time. Animal is catchy. The Hysteria main riff is quite nice. The pop-y-ness is a bit much for me

I am a Beta Band hater. Both Beta Band albums on the list were removed from later editions of the book. It's like they were only added at the start because they needed some 2000s albums that just came out. And then it was realized they really didn't need to be on the list

Celebrity SkinHole

Rated 6/10

I like the guitar tone of Celebrity Skin at the start... but then the vocals are very upfront in the mix and I don't like that. I would like it much better if the vocals were more burried and the guitar was much more at the front. That is a big issue of mine with modern production. I wasn't too interested in the rest..

I am growing to quite like Leonard Cohen. It's my new wave of liking acoustic stuff from artists like Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen. I am even considering making Nick Drake's Pink Moon album one of my 8 5/5 albums on rate your music. It's THAT good

RocksAerosmith

Rated 4/10

I didn't know Nobody's Fault by Testament was a cover from here. Huh. That was confusing cause I knew I heard Nobody's Fault before when listening to this, but couldn't remember where. At first I was thinking Guns N' Roses, as it sounds like something they would do

From the Wikipedia article of Nobody's Fault:
> "Nobody's Fault" is often cited as one of the heaviest songs Aerosmith has ever recorded, and many musicians regard it highly. Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash and James Hetfield of Metallica both consider it one of their favorite Aerosmith songs. Additionally, Kurt Cobain mentioned the song as a favorite in his journal.

It IS a very solid song. The rest of the album.. didn't connect with me that much. It is their highest-rated album on rate your music, and many tier lists online place this album at the top of Aerosmith's stuff. I guess there is some goodness hidden in there that I don't know about yet. I was able to see the goodness of Nobody's Fauly since I like it from Testament's cover

Ingénuek.d. lang

Rated 4/10

When I first started the 1001 album I got this in my first couple weeks. It fit the vibe of where I was at the beach, and I gave it a 3/5. I gave it another listen now and I find it quite plain and not very interesting

I just didn't find it that interesting. It didn't stand out that much. "Ranked No. 98 on the 2020 revision of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". Really?? I don't get it
