Ranges in quality from very good to forgettable to bad. Red Alert and Rendez-vu are bangers. Lots of filler/interlude tracks too.

The more Bob Dylan I listen to in my life the more I appreciate his music. It’s not overly complex, but the poetry he weaves into his songs makes me want to stop whatever else I’m doing and listen. Literature in song form with harmonica and guitar. No huge complaints from me, the first half of the album is better than the second. My favorite songs were Blowin’ In The Wind, Masters of War, and A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.

I have never listened to a full zz top album until now. It was pretty darn good. Great guitars and drumming. Favorite tracks were La Grange, Jesus Just Left Chicago, and Sheik.

I enjoyed this one, but it kinda of came and went. Not much to stick with me.

Interesting instrumentation and style. Not something I had heard of before. Hard To Be Human Again was my favorite song.

Probably the best a Christmas album can be, and the best representation of Phil Spector’s “Wall of sound” production style. Every song sounds full which is perfect for the holiday. Christmas(Baby Please Come Home) is an all time great Christmas song.

I feel like there is something I’m not getting here. Vocals aren’t great for most of the album. I like The Whistling Song and Lost.

I’m not sure why this one is on the list. I liked the songs Brimful of Asha and Candyman, but was about it. Felt like a lot of filler.

Really great blues rock. I like just about everything Jack White makes. This record was much more varied in style than I thought it would be. Favorite songs are Sixteen Saltines, Weep Themselves To Sleep, and his version of I’m Shakin’.

I preferred Viva Hate to this one. Irish Body, English Heart is really good. Album also ends well.

This project is teaching me that I like punk much more than I thought I did. This is just plain fun. Wish some of the songs were longer.

Very enjoyable. Reminds me of The Clash in a good way. Favorite song is Down In The Tube Station At Midnight.

Consistently good throughout. I never found myself bored. Concise set of songs. All around good jazz. “Cool” is an apt description.

Whole lot of conga drumming. Not much there to redeem this one for me. I liked when the whistle was used. Not really sure how this is essential to the history of popular music.

Very fuzzy sometimes a little too much. You’ve heard one song here you have basically heard the whole thing.

I loved this way more than I ever expected to. Just a great collection of songs. Definitely understand why this was included in the list. I only listened to the original track list.

It’s country, mariachi, and indie rock. Good at setting a scene. I like the second half of the record more than the first.

I’m usually a big fan of the blues but this doesn’t really do it for me. Eric Clapton is good on the guitar as usual. Nothing here is going to make me want to come back to it.

This album has a very warm and welcoming sound. I had only heard the first track from this album before today, and I was missing out. This is really good. Excellent blending of genres and styles. Love the fuzzy guitar work.

I imagine it was crazy hearing My Generation for the first time and then flipping the record to The Kids Are Alright during the 60’s. Knowing what The Who would go on to make later really diminishes the impact of this album. Most of it feels very derivative of similar acts at the time as they hadn’t fully established their sound yet.
