As I have said before, not super familiar with Neil Young, so getting any of this albums is a bit of a treat. Neil Young with Crazy Horse seems sweet. Meandering and murky. Some jams for sure. Really enjoyed this album.

This album is arguably the best from Talking Heads. It's not my favorite of theirs, but it's nearly perfect. Very stoked to get this today.

I had never heard of Julian Cope before and was expecting the worst. But this was a lot better than I expected. For a while I thought this may be a 4 star album but it's way too long at 76 minutes and you can definitely get a bit lost in the sauce. 3 stars feels right.

This is objectively bad music in every way. I can't see how this was, has been or ever could be consequential to anyone. Just a garbage fire over here. I would give this 0 out of 5 stars if I could.

A great album, a real classic. I know this whole thing frontwards and backwards and it's one of my all time favorites. Very stoked to get it today.

The late 80s hard rock is not for me. I get it, I just think it's boring and overplayed. Not interested in this stuff.

I have never heard of Alex Harvey, quite the life it seems like. This album was fun, it kind of straddles the all too familiar line between glam and punk which makes sense for the context of this album at the time. A quick hitter, this was very enjoyable.

This is an excellent album. I have always heard it's excellent but never really dove in to it. This is the third PJ Harvey album I have gotten on this list and I think it's my favorite so far. Raw and rumbly, the soft/loud dynamics fully realized with Steve Albini doing the recording. Great record.

I do not deny that this album rocks, but I also know that this is not really my cup of tea. A great debut album, even though this isn't exactly a group of musicians who are young and hadn't worked together before.

This album ripped. I love the heavy reverb guitar that you find in the noise pop/shoegaze bands from this era. This was a delight after a stretch of pretty middling album selections on this.

I always kind of overlook this album with the simple reduction that this is Velvet Underground's noise album, but whenever I listen to it I love it. It's aggressive, broken and overdriven and raw. It's always a rewarding listen from a great band.

I understand the inclusion of something like this, but a nearly 2 hour long album is a bit much. This is just also not for me and feels like maybe a candidate to drop for this thing.

The chamber baroque pop is not really for me. It's just a little much. Beautiful no doubt, but just a little much. No thanks.

I love this album and it has always been my favorite from Stevie Wonder. I don't necessarily think it's his best, but it's my favorite of his. It's hard for me to think about it objectively without taking in to account everything I associate with it, but that's the beauty of music.

This album was a lot of fun. Just a great bouncy new wave pop post punk sound. Catchy upbeat songs. A real joy.

Emmylou Harris obviously has an excellent voice and this is obviously a great straight country record. Enjoyable listen for sure.

I saw Jurassic 5 on Vans Warped Tour (of all places) back in 2000 and had no idea who they were. And I'm still not that familiar with them. This album is good for sure, and it's all over the place in style but strangely works together. Really fun album and something I'd like to listen to more.

It's kind of hard for me to rate this appropriately. This album is not available in the US and is hard to find. The best I could do was a playlist on YouTube, with videos mixed at different levels of differing lengths than the album tracks and interrupted every so often by ads. Tough to really get immersed in it.

This album was certainly long. It has a pretty compelling backstory and circumstances behind it. And I suppose that context it makes it interesting, but it's not my favorite. It was fine.

I had never heard of this band, and the first few tracks weren't really connecting with me, but as this record progressed, it endeared itself to me a bit more, it got a little more far out and distinct. This late 60s psych sound is so ubiquitous, and bands from that era can feel like a dime a dozen, but I get why this record stands out a bit. It feels like a time capsule capturing a very specific moment in time. Cool record.
