Not a fan of Rod Stewart's vocals. The guitarwork is pretty solid though. It would be cooler as all instrumental.

It's... fine. Pretty generic synth pop. Not deserving of being on this list in my opinion.

I want to ding it points for how not cohesive it is, but honestly that lack of cohesion almost IS the cohesion for this album. Plus, it just has so many insanely classic songs. I can't help but love it.

Psych rock is one of my favorite genres and it wouldn't exist without this album, so I absolutely adore it. It's incredibly weird and dark for something from this early on.

I enjoy the narrative and the beats are pleasant if a bit unexciting. His very strong British accent makes it a bit hard to take the darker elements seriously a bit though not gonna lie.

The Britpop bias in this list strikes again. This just doesn't do anything for me, and it doesn't even have the critical relevance of bands like Blur to make up for it.

Amazing folk. Her voice is so hauntingly beautiful. and the guitar work perfectly complements it.

A metal classic that 100% deserves its place on this list for the amount of influence it's had. Banger after banger.

Pretty fun and funky. Not sure how relevant or "must hear" it is but I did enjoy it.

I'm not really big on the Stones but Paint It Black is an absolute banger. This album is actually pretty solid overall. I should give it more credit.

Another one I've needed to give more listens to, and this confirms it because I really dug it. The acoustic bass is super interesting. The lyrics are also really sharp and witty.

The darker tones here are more my vibe than the more saccharine vocals of some of his other material. It's still very funky, but a lot more introspective.

Mould really doesn't miss. I love how thick and loud the guitars are, while still being infectiously melodic. This album just makes me incredibly hyped up.

My first electronic band and this is arguably their best album. GOATed.

Classic rock and hair metal just aren't my thing at all. It's very corny but not in a fun way. As far as those genres go this isn't the worst though I will say. The guitar tone is pretty solid. It's mostly the vocals I dislike.

I legitimately thought it was a movie score before looking it up, so it definitely gets points for achieving what it was going for. It's got some really great strings and bass work in it.

I actually really dig this style of music and could see myself reslistening to this for sure. I unfortunately have the same issue I have with most recent albums here though - I simply don't think this album is remotely relevant enough to justify its inclusion in this list. I don't think it's proven influential or culturally relevant at all. I hadn't even heard of it until now.

Lots of really powerful stuff here as expected. It's raw and rough but so emotional in a great way.

Somehow I've never listened to him but this was great! I love folk but adding some dark gothic elements really makes it extra exciting for me.

Killer synth punk. This album was pivotal in popularizing the drum machine and its sound is still so timeless to this day. The cover is iconic too.
