Festival EDM like this just really isn't my bag, but I can appreciate how someone would enjoy it, especially at a big music festival on some helpful substances. Listening to the album on headphones though just doesn't do anything for me.

A titan of the emo genre. This 100% deserves to be on the base list. It still hits so hard to this day.

This is wildly forward thinking for an album from 1970. I love prog and psych rock so the mixture was a slam dunk for me. I’ll definitely give this one more listens.

Another banger from Porcupine Tree. This one is a bit more straightforward than some of their earlier stuff but I still really enjoy it. It showcases their core songwriting really well.

I enjoyed seeing a genre I love like nu metal mixed with Indian culture. It was a fun listen but overall didn't bring enough new to the table to cause me to become a fan I'd say.

I haven't thought about Final Fantasy in a hot minute. I was a big fan back in the day and after listening to this I think it's really held up well. The violin is gorgeous.

It's fun to see the mix of very British sounding pop rock with Spanish language and flair. I don't know if I'll come back to it but I had fun while listening.

Kinda standard fair alt rock. It's inoffensive but I fail to see how it's a must-listen at all.

Really fun and catchy 90s power pop. I haven't listened to them as much as I should.

Queen doesn't miss honestly. One of the GOATs.

Fun alt rock that had some good bangers, but doesn't really do anything novel at all.

It's definitely a life goal of mine to listen to this on 4 turntables as intended. Hopefully someday. Listening at home in normal stereo though, it's still a very fun album as you'd expect from The Flaming Lips. Not their best but super solid.

Enjoyable and chill. I think I'd probably appreciate it more if I could understand the lyrics, especially since it's so vocals-forward.

I love Depeche Mode but this is not the album I would've added to this list at all. How are you gonna pick this over Black Celebration? Or Exciter? Or Playing the Angel? That said, it's still a fun album if a bit dated sounding.

Boring Grammy bait.

I like his work with Moldy Peaches but this is just a bit corny especially with the Wurlitzer featured so prominently. The lyrics are pretty well-written though.

I listened to some of Sampha's earlier stuff but not this one. It's fun. He has a good voice and the laid back instrumentals complement it well. It's doesn't really do anything super original or notable though.

This guy is just so damn corny, and not in a fun way. I can't take it seriously at all.

He’s going the distance! He’s going for speed! This album freaking rules and deserves to be on the official list. It’s so catchy and unique.

I can't stand her or her music.
