Parts of the latter half underwhelm, but the first half is outstanding stuff. Quite easily their best album. Favorite track: The Scientist

I like '80s pop. I like '80s hip Hop. Today. I learned that I don't particularly like them when they're mixed together. Favorite track Outre Risque Locomotive

Bubblegum punk? I suppose that's what I would call this wonderfully 90's affair. Favorite track: Connection

I have no idea why Damon Albarn worked on this project but I'm glad he did. An amazing amalgam of rock, hip hop, pop, and more. Favorite track: 5/4

I remembered not liking this album when it came out, and it's actually worse than I remember. Fred Durst might be the cringiest frontman in history. How did I used to be a fan of this group?!

Nope, not my thing

Perfect distillation of psychedelic bluesy rock. Jimi was a wizard. Favorite track: Red House

Excellent live album that captures the speed and ferocity of Motörhead perfectly. The versions on here sound better than their studio counterparts in most cases. Favorite track: Ace of Spades

Remember when hip hop was just fun? This record is just a good time. I wish there were less skits but that's not a huge deal. Favorite track: The Magic Number

This album bored me to tears. I really can't stand the vocals. I'd say it has no redeeming qualities but I kind of liked England and I actually enjoyed the last song. Favorite track: Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks

I could relax and listen to these beautiful vocal harmonies all day and not tire of them. Wonderful folk rock debut. Favorite track: Helplessly Hoping

Art pop with a heavy 80's vibe, which I found to be a lot of fun. Favorite track: Give it Up

Mostly faded into the background for me, but there were definitely a few moments of beautiful serene dream pop that made me take notice. Favorite track: Little Bird

Quite a slog at 3 hours but Ella has a beautiful voice so that definitely helps. Favorite track: The Man I Love

Furious frenetic grind excellence. Home of the shortest song ever, and a bunch of others that aren't much longer. Favorite track: You Suffer (kidding!). Real favorite track: Born on Your Knees

Fun, bouncy Celtic Rock. It sounds like it could be an influence for quite a few bands that can't after it. Favorite track: Has Anybody Here Seen Hank?

First artist to be encountered twice on this list. Very grandiose and more orchestral sounding than I figured it would be, and Elton sounds amazing. Favorite track: Tiny Dancer

Very meh for me. I like the energy but the music mostly didn't do anything for me. Favorite track: Dull Life

Man this really ran out of steam in the latter half, but the beats on the first few tracks are outstanding. Too bad Kanye had to go crazy cos he could make some good tunes. Favorite track: Black Skinhead

I'd heard of this band and thought I knew what kind of music to expect, which was not this noise rock awesomeness. Sounds like it should've been produced by Steve Albini. Favorite track: Here Come The Rome Plows
