Grateful Dead
1/5
That was unpleasant and weird. Maybe I haven't done enough drugs?
Jimmy Smith
3/5
Jazzy.
Isaac Hayes
2/5
A little too buttery for me. But definitely better than the grateful dead.
Rush
4/5
Enjoyable listening. A couple of good/classic songs.
4+ stars, but not quite a 5.
Van Morrison
3/5
I always confused Van Morrison with Morrisey. Now I know the difference.
This jumped right into it on the first song, I had to check that I didn't click a few songs in. Usually there's a bit of instrumental, but not this one. It wasn't bad, but I prefer other late 60s/early 70s albums.
3 stars
U2
2/5
Yep. That was U2. Still not a fan.
2 stars.
Black Sabbath
4/5
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. It was not as heavy as the heavy metal as always seemed.
I was also surprised by how many I knew, mostly from Rock Band.
4/5 stars. I might listen to this again. And I wouldn't turn it off if I heard it.
Traffic
3/5
This was okay. Nothing obnoxious but nothing to write home about.
3 stars.
Norah Jones
3/5
Lyrics are good, nice voice. Songs all sound similar. Good music for a sad rainy day, but I'm not in the mood to be depressed.
Mabel's ranking: 5 stars
My ranking: 3 stars
Travis
3/5
It was fine. Definitely sounded like early 2000s and apparently on here for being ground breaking in that style. So, there you go.
3 stars.
Bob Dylan
2/5
I don't like his voice. It grates on me. Could use more harmonica... Said no one. Ever.
2 stars.
Guns N' Roses
2/5
I couldn't listen to most of this album due to little ears.
The popular songs I knew. So, at least there is that.
2 stars. These boys should wash their mouths out with soap.
4/5
I enjoyed this.
Ravi Shankar
2/5
Oof. I would not have made it through this except I used it as a soundtrack for a video game. I could not have listened just for listening's sake. It was interesting but too much.
2 stars.
The Libertines
1/5
Couldn't do it. The singing was horrendous.
1 star.
Paul McCartney and Wings
3/5
It was okay. Not bad, but not groundbreaking or something incredibly enjoyable. Sounded like Paul McCartney.
XTC
4/5
I enjoyed this a lot more than is expected to. The flow from song to song was smooth and the hooks were catchy.
It also made me think of "Secret Tunnel" from Avatar the Last Airbender. Just the voice and the instrumentation reminded me. Wouldn't have been surprised if it was a track on this album.
4/5 stars
Iron Maiden
1/5
I listened to the first song, but couldn't listen to the rest. I love Jesus and it didn't sit well with me.
Musically interesting, lyrically couldn't do it.
Aretha Franklin
5/5
Quality music. *Chef's kiss*
5/5 stars
3/5
Definitely better than I thought it was going to be. But I don't think I'd never pick it back up. Solid 3 stars.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
That was a lot more folky than I would have guessed. It was fine.
3 stars.
Blondie
4/5
Thoroughly enjoyed that. 2000s emo/punk's grandparents.
4 stars.
Michael Jackson
4/5
Solid pop album.
4 stars.
T. Rex
4/5
Good for weed eating, not as pleasant for mowing. But overall, enjoyable.
4 stars
Ramones
3/5
Everything sounded the same. The only way I knew the next song started was because of the few seconds delay between songs.
3 stars.
Herbie Hancock
3/5
Jazzy. Funky. Background music.
3 stars.
Joan Baez
3/5
This was okay. Folksy, but that seemed to be a given. I personally didn't hate it and it had a few good songs, but I won't put it in my regular rotation for listening.
3 stars.
Wilco
2/5
Meh.
2 stars
The Adverts
3/5
Alright but not great or ground breaking.
3 stars.
Soundgarden
4/5
Enjoyable music, singing not bad, a little hard to understand, but that may just be listening for the first time. Didn't think I liked grunge, but perhaps I was wrong.
4 stars.
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
2/5
My, my, how the Mary Poppins penguins have fallen. Jolly Holiday to video game music.
It was not the worst I've listened to, but it was weird and I'd be okay not listening to it again.
2 stars
The Coral
4/5
I liked that. 4 stars. Need to investigate further.
3/5
Didn't care for muse in high school. Don't care for muse in my late 30s.
I mean... It was fine, but not anything spectacular.
3 stars.
Jamiroquai
3/5
This just made me want to watch Napoleon Dynamite again. But other than that - meh. It all kind of sounds the same.
Napoleon Dynamite - 5 stars
This album - 3 stars
The Triffids
3/5
Well... That was the 80s.
3 stars.
The Last Shadow Puppets
2/5
Didn't love it. Felt bland.
2 stars.
David Bowie
3/5
Meh. Kind of bland outside of the popular songs. And even those are a little bland.
3 stars.
Mercury Rev
2/5
I feel like the Venn diagram of people who like steampunk and this album is a circle.
I don't like steampunk.
2 stars.
Patti Smith
3/5
I have listened to this before I died. I do not feel like it made a big difference to my life having listened to this.
3 stars.
The Notorious B.I.G.
2/5
As not a fan of rap I could at least understand what he was saying. It is not that I dislike the concept of rap and this one was rather enjoyable, but I can't listen to things with that many bad words. So, for that reason... 2 stars.
The Mothers Of Invention
3/5
This is how I imagined a West Coast college sounded in the 1960s.
3 stars.
Sex Pistols
2/5
While I understand the importance to the music industry, this sounded like a lot of noise to me.
2 stars
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Quality piano playing. Fun and funky to listen to.
Blur
3/5
This was very British. Not in a bad way, just not my cup of tea... Get it? Lolz.
3 stars
Todd Rundgren
3/5
I liked the first half, the second half got weird.
First half 4 stars, overall 3.
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Meh.

2/5
It was alright. Didn't feel like anything special.
