I see what they're saying about trying to make "entertaining" ambient. It's very upbeat and actually catchy much of the time, while still maintaining a solid ambient vibe. Very interesting stuff.

The guitar tone is really nice and I enjoy his voice. It isn't anything super mind-blowing but it was a fun listen and I'd probably listen again.

Absolute peak sadboi indie. This is my favorite Sufjan album. It's so beautiful and haunting.

More Britpop, yay. I will say that this one was slightly more tolerable than average with the added instrumentation and unique concept.

I dig some porcupine tree but haven't really explored much into Wilson's solo work. This was a cool introduction. It's a bit more chill than PT but still very proggy and interesting.

Really solid emotional hardcore. Hell yeah honestly.

Pretty fun. It's nothing really breaking new ground for 70's prog but it does it really well.

Bland 80s worship. Doesn't do anything interesting or new.

Very chill. The vocals are pretty and I like the inclusion of pipes but it doesn't really grip me much in spite of that.

I appreciate that it's trying to do something different but it just comes off as a bit too cheesy and trying too hard to me. The vocals are kind of over the top.

Porcupine Tree are honestly kind of slept on in the prog scene honestly. This album is really hauntingly beautiful with just the right amount of heavy moments for contrast.

What an eclectic mix of styles. It's so all over the place that it feels cohesive.

Another perfectly adequate but forgettable album to me. I think I like it a bit more than the last one just because it's got a bit more energy behind it but I doubt I'll circle back to it.

Another banger from Bon Iver. It's not my favorite from him but it's incredibly solid. The arrangements are much more intricate and full than For Emma while still maintaining that folk style for the most part.

Kinda sounds like knock off R.E.M. Doesn't outright bother me but it's not terribly exciting either.

Another classic from the aughts. Such Great Heights gets most of the fame but honestly this entire album slaps. It's pretty crazy that Ben Gibbard released this AND Transatlanticism in 2003. He was really on a hot one back then.

A titan of aughts-era indie rock, which is my bread and butter. This album is absolutely stunning and a must-hear well deserving of being on this list.

Super cool to see some modern ambient on here. This was very pretty and great music to work to. The title track in particular is hauntingly beautiful.

SO freaking good. One of the best pop albums of the past decade. It's catchy but also deep. Pink Pony Club has been on repeat in my house since its release.

Boring utterly generic classic rock.
