ImagineJohn Lennon

Rated 6/10

I tend to be disappointed by Lennon solo albums, and this one follows that. Imagine (the song) is amazing. I was surprised by how much I liked Oh Yoko! though...maybe the 2nd best on the album. 3/5

PlayMoby

Rated 8/10

I bought this album when it first came out, but never got into it. I don't think I fully appreciated it at that time. I was very surprised by how much I thoroughly enjoyed it this time around. So much depth to the songs...a great adventure through the full album. 4/5

Always felt that Jay-Z is one of the most overrated rappers of all time. The was fairly tiresome and boring (Girls Girls Girls is the only highlight). 1.5/5

Neon BibleArcade Fire

Rated 10/10

Great album...not quite the tour de force that is Funeral, but a worthy follow up. I may have listened to this one more than Funeral back when it was released. 4.5/5

NevermindNirvana

Rated 10/10

One of the best ever. A lot of my wonder taste in music can be traced here. 5/5

The Man WhoTravis

Rated 10/10

Really great album. Just well above average songs from start to finish. Highlights are Writing to Reach You, Why does it always rain..., She's So Strange...could go on. 4.5/5

Really liked it...which is unsurprising given how much I tend to like English Rap. The production was pretty top notch. 4/5

The Hives always have some entertaining and energetic songs. Great fun. Surprised that a compilation album made it on this list versus one of their studio albums. 4/5

I have a soft spot for the DKs. One of the first punk bands I kind of got into. Jello Biafra is kind of an enigma to me as well...really hard to tell in his lyrics if he is just being ironic or laudatory in any way. 4/5

GooSonic Youth

Rated 8/10

I enjoyed it more than I expected. SY albums are kind of tough listens and I am glad this one resonated with me. 4/5

Rated 10/10

I can't say enough about this album. The more I think about it...I feel this one shaped a lot of current musical tastes over 25 years later. Such an amazing album front to back...the production is absolutely amazing. For a long time I considered this to be my favorite album, and I am glad to see it hold up till today. 5/5
