Seven Nation Army has long been a favorite and Hardest Button to Button is great as well. But the rest of the album just didn't catch me like some of the previous White Stripe or Jack White projects on this list. Still alright, just not infectiously enjoyable.

I had previously only known Bjork by reputation or as the butt of a joke on SNL, I had never taken the time to listen to her music before. And it is weird, but it is certainly not dull. There were a couple songs mid album that I didn't enjoy as much, but for the most part I quite enjoyed it.

The orchestra backing on the track's "A Man Needs a Maid" (meh) and "There's a World" (I think I liked it, I swear I have heard the orchestra music somewhere else though) are jarring. I dig the sounds, kind of reminds me of Metallica's S&M, but they just don't seem to fit with the rest of the album. I would definitely listen to this album again if it was easier to find and play.

Tuesday's Gone, Simple Man, Free Bird - all amazing. As for the rest...also pretty damn good. I really enjoyed Mississippi Kid. This album rocks. Full marks.

I have never heard of these old boys, but they are right up my alley. Sounds a lot like Hank Williams, but darker. Going to have to look into more of their stuff. Good ol' country twang. I love it.

I liked the music, but I did not enjoy Billy Bragg's voice. It was enough to take me out of songs.

I have never heard of this band or album, but I think middle school me would have really liked it. Middle aged me thinks its is a bit dark and verging on the territory of just noise. Still, not awful. I think if the singing didn't feel kind of like lazy chanting it might have scored a bit higher.

A solid rock and roll album by Jack. I liked every song. There was enough variation and added texture to make it not seem monotonous or repetitive, but still felt like Jack White all the way through.

Fun, classic punk. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Probably not an every day listen, but great when the mood strikes.

Tons of nostalgia here. Great album of electronic music. I already knew five or so of the songs well and enjoyed the rest. It is packaged with the b sides on Spotify which is a bit much. But the original album will definitely be getting another listen in the future.

Never heard of these guys before. Very 90's sound. I enjoyed quite a few songs, but a lot of it seemed very dated. Probably would have liked it a lot more when I was in high school, but since I did not hear it then there is no nostalgia factor to pull it up a star.

An amazing voice. Some fun big band backing to go along with it.

Good bluesy music. I have a hard time getting into the just jamming/live music vibe, but this was better than most.

Oh man, I really liked this album. Knights of Cydonia has always been a favorite. It perhaps dips a bit for a few of the middle songs, but it starts and ends so strong. I am feeling generous so that is going to be a five for me.

It is mainly an album of covers. Very good covers, but I was hoping for something more original.

Every song sounds exactly like a Cypress Hill song. I'm not sure I could differentiate one from another. Which is fine, but it is a lot for 14 songs.

Groovy tunes. I really liked Sunworshipper and Destroy Rock & Roll. Would definitely listen to this again. Seems like it would make a fine road trip album.

A solid album. Has my second favorite Beatles song with Norwegian Wood. A few other classics. Run For Your Life is a bit cringey.

There are some good songs on here. I particularly like Starshine, and Clint Eastwood of course. Some of the others were a bit to avante guard for me.

Some classics. I really liked "Downbound Train". The 80's synth sounds aren't great, was expecting more straight forward rock and roll.
