This album was better than I was expecting it would be, but probably shouldn't be on this list. I was never big in to Radiohead outside of The Bends and gave up on them when this album came out. I enjoyed listening to this and there are definitely some good parts for sure.

Man, there are too many Stones albums on this list. This is fine, there are some good songs, but still just too much bluesy bar bad stuff shining through. Not for me.

This album is so good. Somewhere between a 4 and a 5. I think it's a better collection of songs than it is an album, but I love it.

This album is so close to being phenomenal, but it just slightly lags for a bit right after Waterfalls, and that lag really highlights how long this album actually is--another unfortunate side effect of the CD era. It's nearly there though, but this album in general is great and a true classic.

This is some UK new wave pop synth stuff from the early 80s that I just could not care less about listening to.

I have never listened to this whole soundtrack. Great movie and a great music accompanying it from a great band. Really enjoyed this.

The whole Neosoul thing never really resonated with me and diving in to a whole album of it didn't seem to make much of a difference. I get why people like this but it is just kind of meh for me.

Very classic and straightforward American Blues music. Blues based music is not for me, but Muddy Waters is among the best. I can't hang with it long, but this is great to listen to every once in a while.

Excellent album. Pleased to pull it on this slow Sunday morning, it'd been a bit since I had listened to it.

A short album of pretty straightforward romantic and catchy pop songs. Just fine.

I never listened to this before now, so it's tough for me to think of it in context. But this came out in 1984, wow! Has to be one of the first new school hip-hop records of the 80s. It's a fun listen for sure.

This band is too much. I get they are good at what they do but this is not for me at all. Very stoked when this was over and I was done listening to it.

I have never fully listened to this concept album, and just know the songs that have been ubiquitous in culture for the last 45 years. This is certainly grandiose and self-indulgent. I have a hard time getting past that and how bloated it feels. Reading more about the context of it and what this rock opera is about, I'm sure it's great, and I'm willing to give 70s Pink Floyd the benefit of the doubt, despite how much of a wanker Roger Waters seems to be now. Definitely a journey listening to this for the first time in its entirety.

This album was fine. I was expecting it to be a bit more out there. But obviously it's an important record in terms of turning the west on to African music a bit more. Good listen for sure.

Pretty unaware of Kate Bush aside from her resurfaced popularity from Stranger Things. It's not for me, but I get why folks like it. A different time, maybe.

Tangerine is great and has put out a ton of excellent music over the years. This album is arguably their best and it's just a mood and vibe to get in to. Enjoyed revisiting it for sure.

I had never heard of this band and saw that they were just kind of a straight American folk rock band from the 60s. Figured it'd be pretty meh, and it was slightly better than that. Some good songs for sure. Nothing to write home about though.

A classic record and a pretty appropriate one to get on a Friday morning. Enjoyed listening to these classic standards.

Joni Mitchell is not for me, this is one of the least interesting and just plain boring records I've ever heard. It's also too long, and all of the songs are too long. Can't believe how much this dragged. I have given her the benefit of the doubt on the two previous records of hers I've had on this list, giving both 3/5 stars. This will receive less for sure.

I had never heard of this band. This record was fine enough, pretty poppy with elements of like chamber pop and glam in it. Interesting enough, but at the end of the day, the Britpop is just not for me.
