I effing hate Bob Dylan. His voice, his song structure. He is my least favorite artist.

I love this album. No wasted songs on it. Phenomenal songwriting and closes with an amazing track that when seen live is a visual delight.

Beyonce is a phenomenal vocal talent and performer. Where I get lost is most of the songs tend to drag with slow tempos and the same vibe. That makes this hard for me to listen to.

I genuinely enjoy this album, especially on rainy days. Miles was in peak form here.

Phenomenal album that showcases the bridge between rock and hip hop. Hip Hop music made by three Jewish boys.

This album is solid. Establishing them as a chart getter. Killer Queen and Now I'm Here are my top two on overall good album.

How fitting that this is recommended the day after her unfortunate death. This is not her best album, but it showcases her talent and vocal range expertly.

I genuinely love this album. Fela Kuti was always underrated but a phenomenal musician. Pair him with one of the all time greatest drummers and you have magic.

This album is ok. It's not his best recording, live or studio

Aretha was on point this morning for my walk. I have listened to this album many times. Nothing particularly exciting stands out about it but the album is a solid choice.

I listened to this album in my new car, it was the first album I listened to in it and I will say, the musicianship really stood out here. All the little intricacies were on display and really showing the talent of this band. I need to hunt this one down on vinyl now.

Bring The Noize is the marquee track but overall, this is a phenomenal example of hip hop taking center stage.

This was an interesting mix of things that I wasn't expecting. I do appreciate world music because it offers such a unique perspective compared to western rock music. I would listen again.

Their last good album before they leaned to heavily into alt music. I prefer the 80s thrash to any of this, but this album is undeniably one of their best.

I have listened to this album many times over the years. I think it's just a great mix of tunes and I love listening to it again and again.

This album is straight fire. Notorious at his finest.

Ok, I don't normally like Björk but I think I had a trippy experience this time around with this album. I was walking my dog and watching a thunderstorm in the distance at 930 pm while listening to this. Straight up ethereal vibes and I think that made the art more palatable.

This is one of the defining albums of my teenage years. The songwriting connected with me even though I didn't do drugs. It was the themes of angst, despair, and feeling wrong that made me love the doom and gloom of the music. Layne Staley is the best vocalist of the Seattle scene and I will defend that position to my dying day.

I don't know how I feel about this. It was well written music but I feel like I couldn't latch onto it.

Nothing about this album stands out to me. It's always been a reminder of two things, Butch Vig is a good drummer and Shirley Manson is a good singer
