Interesting early post-punk. Vocals are a bit grating if I'm being honest but I enjoy the themes of the album.

I don't think I've heard of them before this but it's enjoyable. Very 80s pop. Gives me Steely Dan vibes.

Killer album. I love Bruford's work here and in King Crimson. Progggggg

Not much of a britpop guy but I enjoyed this album. Nice guitar tone and melodies and solid lyricism. I'd listen again.

Such an incredible debut. Love her voice and the instrumentation complements it perfectly. Soulful and still bombastic.

Textbook definition of 'cool'. An absolute classic.

The beats on this album are so chill and funky and smooth. I love it. Common's vocals complement them amazingly with conscientious lyrics. I need to listen to him more.

Love QOTSA. Although I think they got even better later on, this is still a really great collection of desert rock.

Kinda boring classic rock. Just doesn't really do much for me at all. It's inoffensive though.

Not 100% convinced that this album is noteworthy enough to deserve a spot on this list, but I won't lie it's very nostalgic for me and has some absolute rippers. Can't help but move around to it.

It's tough to follow up an album as popular as Nevermind, but in my opinion Nirvana really did it with this album. It's a different, punkier direction but it hits hard.

I've just never really been able to get into 50 Cent, in spite of digging a lot of his peers. Some of Dre's production on here is pretty good though I will say. I'm happy I gave it another go.

Pretty wild that this came out in '68. I can hear a lot of sounds that wouldn't be prevalent for years afterwards. This is a really cool mix of psych rock, proto-metal and blues. Dig it!

Stone cold classic. I don't know what to even say about this album. One of the greats.

Love Cohen and mixing his style with this VERY 80s vibe is honestly a match made in heaven. Great stuff that somehow doesn't feel dated while still feeling very of its time.

A little on the poppier side than I generally like my prog but still really fantastic stuff. Great melodies and production.

Pretty much what I think of when I think of funk. This album somehow feels retro and futuristic at the same time in the best way. Love it.

I've heard of them but I'm not sure if I've ever actually listened before. I'm enjoying it. Very DIY feeling and loose but with some cool lyrics. Reminds me of a more palatable Captain Beefheart.

Pleasant but unremarkable to me. Honestly that's how I feel about almost all britpop. It's so... inoffensive. Wish it had some more bite. The lyricism has some solid highlights though.

Probably the best Megadeth album. I'd still put on Slayer or Metallica and probably Anthrax over it but it hits hard.
