SO GOOD. Honestly might be my favorite post-Beatles solo album. There's just an insane amount of amazing, creative songs here. It's super long but never feels overstuffed.

I lack the context to really fully appreciate this I think, but as a complete novice it was fun to listen to. Maybe I'll give the movie a watch sometime!

I grew up with a deadhead for a dad (not a euphemism to be clear) so I've always had them around but rarely actively explored myself. I've been meaning to though so this was a great album to pop up here. I really dug it too. The jams are just awesome.

I've always felt like I should like her stuff more than I do. On paper it has a lot that I like, and some of the producers connected with it I really love. Somehow though, I just don't connect too much with it. It is technically super impressive and I do enjoy listening to it, I just don't find myself wanting to go back much.

Classic release of the jungle genre, so this 100% deserves to be here. It does occasionally feel a bit dated but most of it still hits as hard now as ever.

Such a fantastic complement to Tommy, which is one of my favorite albums ever. They're absolutely shredding on this album. I love all the jamming.

Never listened to them before but the name sounds vaguely familiar. I really enjoyed this. It touches on a lot of genres I like, like indie rock, electropop, etc. It's a bit wordy and intellectual but without sacrificing pop catchiness. Definitely going to listen to them more.

Including this but not Iowa is criminal. This album is still solid though. Slipknot gets a bad wrap honestly. They rock.

Another one of those bands that have gone on to influence a large portion of the music I now listen to. I love how upbeat and playful this album is. The electronica elements are also really great.

Never listened to him before but the name sounds familiar. This is really sick though. The description says folk but this is really almost proggy. Lots of jazz, psych, and rock influence too. I'm a big fan of the mix of influences here.

I like their more experimental stuff like Trout Mask more, but this is still really fun 60s music. Beefheart's voice is fantastic.

Memes aside, the title track honestly slaps. The rest of the album is honestly similarly great. Hits a good balance between dark and brooding, but still upbeat and catchy.

Doesn't really do much for me to be honest. It's a solid but unremarkable bit of rock. I just don't click with britpop I think.

This album is wild. Few albums described as "world" music really feel like they incorporate a lot of the world, but this one really does. Plus it's just catchy as heck. Underappreciated album for sure. Paper Planes is obviously just a banger and a half in particular.

Some really great tracks on here, alongside some confusingly odd missteps. It's a bit scattershot but there is a lot to enjoy.

One of the titans of dream pop. This album is simply gorgeous, psychedelic and warm while also evoking a sense of mystery and melancholy.

Funny to have another country album right in a row, but with such a stark difference in quality. THIS is the country I can fw. Her voice is fantastic and the lyrics touch on some familiar country cliches, but in a way that isn't cheesy and grating.

Ugh nope too cliche country for me. Less than a minute in and he was already talking about his truck.

Very 80s. I can see how people would've dug it at the time but it's just aged really poorly, and without the nostalgia connection it isn't really my thing. Dude has a good voice though.

I've listened to some of The Fall's music but not enough. This album is really great. I love the off kilter guitars and organs, and Mark E Smith's rambling, interesting vocals are so good. You can hear their influence in so much of the post-punk I listen to.
