Always had a soft spot for Rod Stewart. Very good album

I’m definitely way outside the target demographic, but it’s refreshing to hear modern pop music that doesn’t sound like it was sanded down to be as inoffensive as possible. 360, 365 and talk talk were my favorites.

Just not my cup of tea in the slightedt

Very solid album, probably my favorite Simon & Garfunkel from this list

Very solid east coast 90s boom bap. Jeru is often overlooked when discussing artists from the golden age

Very solid Nick Drake, what I’ve come to expect from this list

A few summers ago, I was driving to play tennis with my now wife. We were on a backroad I had driven dozens of times without incident. Good Times by Chic played as I drove along. Out of nowhere, a deer jumps over the guardrail and goes flying off my front bumper as I slam on the brakes. The smell of burnt rubber was in the air as I pulled over to assess the damage. A small dent in the hood of my 2003 Toyota Corolla, purely cosmetic. Far from a Good Time, but one I'll always remember when I think of this album.

Tom Waits just isn't for me, but enjoyed this for what it was

Pretty solid

Great dance/disco album

Decent listen, enjoyed this Gene Clark more than the other one on this list.

Just not for me. Didn’t find the music all too interesting and didn’t care for the vocals.

Great debut that showcased Kanye’s immense talents

Very solid late 90s alt rock

Eh. Just not something I care to revisit

The consistent “failing” with this list/book is that it’s blatantly obvious that the authors are British, evidenced by the sheer volume of “just okay” British albums that are included on here. This album is an addition to that long long list.

Very solid debut that shows a lot of promise. Not their best, but a great album

Guy sounds like a bit like Bob Dylan but has a different style of songwriting. Cool, but not something I see myself revisiting in full.

Michael's first album with Quincy on production. Fantastic, dare I say just as good as Thriller. The title track is a great way to kick off the B-side

Really solid debut, might have to check these guys out more.
