I've heard of them a lot but never really given them a shot before. This is really cool. You can definitely hear the 60s influence but it does enough to stand out as its own thing and give a modernized (for the time) sound.

Very dated sounding. It's fun and upbeat and she has a good voice but not really my thing.

The cliche bedroom music album for a reason. This album is just so damn sexy. Funky and soulful to the max.

The dead are hella nostalgic for me because my dad played them a ton while I was growing up. For whatever reason I never really pursued them as an adult but I've always wanted to change that. Maybe this is a sign that I should? This album is great but I’d rather listen to their live stuff.

Pop country is one of the things I hate most in the world. This album at least incorporates some interesting other elements like synths and vocoders but it's not enough to make it palatable to me.

More great guitar playing and lovely vocals from Nick Drake. I think I prefer his sadder stuff than this though but even still it's enjoyable.

I think this might be the first french rap album I've ever heard? I need to explore more now most definitely. Love the jazzy beats and his flow is impeccable even if I can't understand the lyrics.

Enjoyable late 70s punk with a slight experimental edge. I like it. Not blowing me away but I think it might be a "Seinfeld is unfunny" situation.

Shit commodification of the indie rock and folk I really love, turning it into bland soulless corporate schlock. I hope she gets the masters for this taken away too.

This is really great. I love the group vocals and the slick mix of bubblegum pop with new wave/punk.

Love me some house music. This album has a really great flow from beginning to end and some great guest features. Pretty sick.

I'd heard The Humpty Dance but I don't think anything else. That song is still an absolute classic. The rest of the album is pretty great too. Very fun rap in that classic 90s style.

The trip hop influenced instrumentation here is really cool actually. I'm just not a huge fan of the very poppy vocals and her lyrics. Also this album did NOT need to be over an hour long.

At the time I think I thought I was too cool for The Killers but in retrospect this is an absolutely FIRE album. Just bangers from start to end and I have a ton of nostalgia for it.

What can I say, I love post-punk. The guitars here are next level, and Siouxsie's vocals are simply mindblowing. Well deserved to be on this list.

This album is weird as hell. Just a total mishmash of random styles and crazy guest features. I can definitely see what David Lynch was saying about how cinematic it is. Lots of trip hop and jazz influence. I think I need more listens to really decide my feelings but as of now I think I'm a fan.

It's neat that black metal the genre is named after this album. I never knew that. I dig this more than I expected after seeing the cover. I'm hit or miss on metal but this one is a pretty decentmix of proto-black metal and thrash. I know it's intentional but the lyrics are a bit on the nose and basic though.

Bit all over the place honestly. It has some catchy tracks though. Overall not as huge on it as a lot of people seem to be.

Such a great mix of punk and new wave that keeps some of the rawness and edge of punk but mixes it with a poppy sheen. Just makes me wanna jam.

I won't lie - I went into this fully expecting to be disinterested at best but I actually enjoyed it. Not something I will necessarily revisit often but it was a fun listen. She has a really great voice. Some of the production has that 80s dated feel but some of it is also really fun and creative.
