It’s a good queen album. It’s not their best.

I’ll start by saying I love David Bowie. I’ll next say that I’ll stick with Bowie and not what I’d nearly a cover band. Not sure why this is essential and also where is “All the Young Dudes” at least?

I like Prince a lot. Probably my third fave album of his after 1999 and Purple Rain

Rough one for me. I made it through. This is just not my genre.

I was the perfect age when this album came out. I was not ready for it. I knew Closer and Hurt but didn’t appreciate its beauty…yes beauty. Reznor is a genius and I don’t use that word lightly. Here we are 30 something years later and he blew the younger acts away at Coachella and is making fresh musical and scoring soundtracks for Hollywood. Not an easy listen, but an essential one.

I was somewhat familiar with this seeing as it came out the year I graduated high school. There is a lot I like here and I feel this is one that would keep growing with more listens. Love that it popped up on this list to give me a fresh listen.

Stone cold classic. Woke up a generation and pushed the Beatles lyrically. What more can one ask for from an album?

It’s a damn good album. Top 10 Beatles solo easily. Maybe top five. Plastic Ono Band edges it for John.

Beatles fan for over 36 years. For the majority of that time I’d say this is my top Beatles album. It’s still up there and battles with Abbey Road for me. It’s amazing that the young guys wrote songs like Eleanor Rigby or Here,There and Everywhere or Tomorrow Never Knows. Leaps and bounds from the more straightforward pop of just a year or two prior. The progression on their short career is astounding.

Never heard of them before, but I like this a lot so far. Wouldn’t call it dance music, but it’s very soothing and envelopes one in calmness. I want to listen to it on a drive at nighttime. Added to my Apple Music collection! 🇳🇴

Weird to have kraftwerk on back to back days. I prefer their 1978 offering to this one, but this is still good.

That this came out in 1978 (a year before I was born) is something. Listen to it with ears from that era. People had to be confused, interested, apalled or so many other things and that’s what great albums do. Extremely influential to what would come in the 80s.

The best album by one of the all times geniuses. No other way around it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

All time great album. One of my all time faves too. Game changer. Mind blower. The haters are wrong. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I…. Like this a lot. Somewhat familiar with a few tunes before. More penetrable than Trout Mask and I still think I’ll learn more as I listen more. 4 stars now and maybe a 4 1/2 with a little more time.

2 days in a row with a female voice and I’m here for it. This time is Siouxsie. Been aware of her and heard her Dear Prudence cover which is great. Never heard a full album, but love this a lot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4 1/2 ⭐️. Warm album. Classic tunes. The great Levon Helm. Yeah this is a classic.

You know what, it’s a fun one to start the morning. I was a little familiar with Adam, particularly the song “Goodie Two Shoes”. It may not be Abbey Road, but it has a small place in my heart. Sold 3, but definitely from a very specific period of time.

This album had lots of hype when it came out. I tried several times and shrugged each listen. Why couldn’t I get the hype? It’s fine. Just not for me. I like Frank’s voice but this isn’t something I come back to ever. That’s said, his follow up album “Blonde” is an album I like a lot.

🐐 album by one of my 🐐 artist. Elliott at peak form and he’s one of a kind. Not a weak moment on this one. Listened today watching a sunrise and sipping ☕️. Pure sad bliss.
