Very heavy Tool worship. Which, don't get me wrong I love Tool so I do enjoy it. It just feels like the spot should've gone to a Tool album instead in that case.

Super catchy and entertaining indie rock/pop. I really love this kind of music so it was a hit with me. The lyrics were pretty poignant too.

I feel so conflicted on Dream Theater. At some points I really dig it, but at others it's so goofy and theatrical in the worst ways and it really takes me out. Overall not something I'd listen to super regularly.

Psychedelic folk? Sign me up! This is super interesting. Such a relaxing but still trippy vibe. I definitely need to listen to them more!

Really flawlessly produced R&B. It sounds so clean and beautiful.

Certainly interesting and unique. The vocals remind me a bit of Tom Waits. I appreciate it intellectually more than I actually enjoy it though I'd say.

I appreciate the inclusion of some Argentinian music here. Unfortunately it doesn't do much for me. Not sure how much of that is that it's in a language I can't understand, and how much is just that musically it's kind of unexciting.

I'm pretty particular when it comes to black metal but happy to find that I really like this one. The folk elements mixed in are super fascinating. I like the mix of clean and metal vocals too.

Always down for more 2000s indie rock. I was never super into Stars though, for no particular reason. Just didn't enter my radar much. It's a solid album.

Primus's first 3 albums are such classics. I think I prefer the other two to this one but it's got some absolute bangers. Jerry Was a Race Car Driver is one of their best.

Bit too radio for me unfortunately. It's inoffensive but just doesn't grip me at all.

Fun punk rock influenced new wave. Just some good tunes. Nothing fancy but it does what it set out to do.

I enjoy this band a lot and this album is certainly one of if not their best. I don't think it's really anything groundbreaking or anything though.

Really cool post-punk. It's got just the right amount of 80s sound that it feels appropriately from the era without sounding like pastiche. I love the cover too.

I'm just not big on generic 70s rock. It doesn't do anything for me at all.

Decent enough pop. If anything from The Weeknd deserves to be on here it's the trilogy mixtapes though, not this. THOSE are something special and had a notable cultural impact.

A titan of pop punk. All the Small Things is just an absolutely iconic song, and there's so many more here too.

One of my favorite concept albums ever. Beautiful and lush with great lyrics and deep themes.

Kinda mediocre alternative rock. Not a fan of the singer's voice either. It sounds like something that would be nominated for a Grammy because it makes white people feel worldly.

Solid indie punk with a powerful vocalist. It's not mindblowing or anything but I enjoy it.
