A lot of David Bowie records are known to me but just more on the periphery. I don't know many of his records well at all, and this is one of them. Quick and succinct very squarely 70s Bowie record. Enjoyed this for sure.

An outlier from the normal and usual stuff on this list. I had never heard of Baaba Maal but appreciate his inclusion. This album was great, and was a very pleasant listen on a lazy weekend morning.

I go back and forth on what album from The Kinks I think is best or my favorite. Really that seven album stretch from Kinda Kinks to Lola is pretty phenomenal. Always loved Village Green and this was a delight to get and listen to, it'd been a bit.

All discourse about Kanye aside, this is a phenomenal record. Its impeccably produced, it's features are incredible. And it still holds up all these years later. A modern masterpiece.

This is pretty middle of the road, safe, boomer centric boring music. Nothing here for me at all.

This is not at all what I was expecting this band to sound like based on their name. It was pretty middle of the road eclectic rock music, obviously pulling from dub, ambient, dance, krautrock, etc. But it's just kind of whatever to me.

This record rules. You can hear Bowie all over it. Just a great post punk art record. It's weird and raw. A perfect little record.

Bad Company is ridiculous. They are not really for me, but are fun enough. Give me both Styx and Foreigner over them any day.

Classic Megadeth. I don't care about this band or this style of music, but this is obviously some of the best. Jarring way to begin my weekend morning.

This was a great album, love the whimsical psychedelic nature of Syd Barrett's music and lyrics. Just a great collection of songs and a great record.

I have never heard of this band, this album, of this "Madchester" genre--and for good reason, it's all shit innit? Probably a time and a place, but this seems pretty inconsequential to me. No interest in ever revisiting.

LOL! This is absolute trash.

That album went by quick! I have always kind of been on the fence about Devendra Banhart. It's good music in the right setting and the right mood. This is easily his best record, and I really enjoyed it this morning.

Very stoked this is on this list, but shouldn't be surprised. This album is a masterpiece and is perfect in every way. Very thrilled to get it this morning.

Pretty classic and succinct UK punk record.

Ha man, this album does not need to be on this list. It was fine, but in general just kind of shitty 80s glam rock. It has it's place but definitely not something you must listen to before you die.

I was not expecting there to be more than one Yeah Yeah Yeahs albums on this list, but I guess I honestly don't know a lot about them. Similarly to "Fever to Tell" this was fun and it's clear that it's something I probably would have liked a lot if I had checked it out when it came out.

Another killer and raw record from one of the singular bands of their era. Everything they made was great. Loved hearing this this morning, quick and punchy. Great record as always.

I was not thrilled about this when I looked in to what this was. Electronic music is not really my jam, and it's my personal opinion that it's overrepresented on this list. I love all the samples, grooves, and melodies on this album. I can't help but think it was something that would have heavily influenced Beck and The Dust Brothers in the making of Odelay. Really enjoyed this whole thing.

This is an almost perfect record. I remember this making such a mark on me when I first heard it in high school. It'd been a really long time since I've listened to it and it's just phenomenal.
