Awesome music, even though it was mostly in Portuguese. You can't get update by bossa nova. It's like a cozy warm blanket in a lounge lizard kinda way.

One of the few instances where I will forgive a live album. This album felt so alive all the way through. Raw, unfiltered. Good blues entry.

My Rating: 4/5

Outkast! Awesome album, good energy. I prefer SpeakerBoxxx to Stankonia, but this is a good album.

Bollywood at it's weirdest!
A very unique entry on the list, even though it breaks the "No Soundtracks" guideline. At this point in the list, I refuse to call it a rule since Dimery breaks it whenever he encounters a soundtrack that really should be included.
The breadth of styles here is remarkable. There's a little bit of everything on here for anyone. I could listen to some of this forever, because, even though I don't understand it, the emotion comes through.

My Rating: 5/5

Hazy, lazy, stoner prog rock.
"Yoshimi... pt 2" is just a little too much chaos masquerading as a song.
It's almost like a bunch of stoners tried to write a pop album but forgot all about hooks or anything resembling catchy.
I get they're being artists, but it falls on its face trying to be deep. Or maybe that's what they were going fo all along.

Amazing jazz/blues album. The world was not ready for Amy, and Amy was too big and bright for the world. Her star burned out far too brightly and quickly. I loved every bit of this for her voice, her song choices, her delivery.

It's an album of 80's country loves songs. It's exactly what you'd expect from Bonnie. It wasn't my bag when it was new, and it's still not my bag. It's not bad, just not for me.

My Rating: 3/5

Notes from before listening: oh boy, a girl punk album. I'm gonna hate this.

Notes from after listening: ok, so I didn't hate it. It was a little better than expectations, but not much. I wouldn't call any of it catchy. Their cover of "I Heard It From The Grapevine" is an interesting take. I wouldn't listen to this again, but I also wouldn't voluntarily put it on.

My rating: 3/5

Tom Waits... man... this guy always puts out unique music. You may not like it, but it's different. This one opens up with "Underground", which I would guess more than a few people have heard outside this album. It's all good music if you know what Tom Waits sounds like. If you don't, it's rough.

My Rating: 4/5

Solid pop album, works today even though it was made 50 years ago. I'm not really into pop or David Bowie, but it's good music.

My Rating: 3/5

There's a reason that beat poets are a niche thing. They should stay niche. This was somewhat listenable electronica with garbage lyrics.

No

Another sixties singer songwriter. He's good, I just can't do it.

My rating: 3/5

Classic album. I know the style is a little dated, but you can't deny how central this album is to music. Amazing songs, peaceful sound.

My Rating; 5/5

Lots of drum work and screaming female vocalist. Not enough good guitar work to keep me interested. The songwriting feels repetitive and derivative. There's just not enough to keep me engaged. The styling is good.

My Rating: 3/5

Not what I expected from the album art.

It's electronica, but definitely not danceable. This album invites you to sit down on a velvet couch and get comfortable with your existential dread. Just vibe with the songs. It's good and interesting, but I think I could have gone without listening to it. It makes you think.

My Rating: 4/5

Different. Post-grunge, but still sounds grungy. Poppy, but not poppy enough for radio play. The whole album feels like what would happen if Nirvana, The Ramones, and The Beatles got together in a music making orgy and had a little record baby together. I don't necessarily like it, but I don't hate it. It's weird.

My Rating: 3/5

This is the least rocky rock album ever. They use an electric harpsichord.. Whatever, it works for them. The whole album is light and fragile and quavery, which is an attempt to portray vulnerability but comes across as weak and non-commital.

What an awesome concert!

This almost felt like a church service. You can hear the young ladies screaming as they're overcome with the emotion of hearing James. His diction leaves much to be desired, but that's what you get with him. It was an interesting take to hear the MC come out and tell everyone what songs were going to be performed.

My Rating: 5/5

Beautifully funky! It's like Marvin Gaye with a little more anger. I wish he didn't sit in the falsetto so much, but it's a stylistic decision. I think the music actually blunts the emotion a bit, because there are times it gets boppy, and he's pretty upset here.

My Rating: 4/5

This definitely belongs on the list. So many good songs, even though some of them sound dated. Classics that everyone has heard. I'm not a big fan of the disco in some of the songs, but it's good all the way around.

My Rating: 5/5
