5/5 - Height of their powers, assuming you think they have powers, which I grant is a reasonable point of view to argue. I happen to think they have powers, acknowledging that Wayne Coyne is a better frontman than he is a singer. I love this album, and it got deep, deep in my veins 20+ years ago. If you think it's annoying as fuck, I also won't argue with you.

Hint: Headphones

4/5 - Had never listened to an entire Coldplay album before, and I thought this was pretty great. It's well-produced and well-written. I'm not gonna go on a Coldplay bender or anything, but this was worth the time, no doubt.

3/5 - The radio hits were overplayed, but solid. This wasn't my scene at the time, and that's not gonna change now. Doubt I needed to hear the album cuts here.

3/5 - I wish I knew what he was singing, because he sure does mean it.

2/5 - The lyrics are objectively terrible. The production is heavy-handed and cheesy. Yet this produced 7 singles and was totally inescapable on MTV in the late 80s. I was 13 and loved it, but I moved on pretty quickly.

"Yeah, but are you getting it? (Armageddon it)" Holy fuck.

5/5 - Peak Bowie and peak glam for me. This is a brilliantly conceived and executed album.

5/5 - This came out of left field for me, and I wouldn't have been able to label it as PJ Harvey if you didn't tell me. Listened to it 3 times, and I loved it. Many of these songs sound like they have been around for ages, like a folk revival cover album or something. Great mood.

3/5 - Just does very little for me, but I know it did a lot for others.

5/5 - An all-time favorite. Had it since it was released and never tire of it. 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten is my favorite.

4/5 - I like Sad Beck. Maybe I like Beck more than I think, and it's just Odelay that bugs me.

4/5 - This held up far, far better than I expected. Could definitely listen to this more. Great cover of War Pigs and some solid tunes in the front half.

2/5 - I don't know why this is on the list.

4/5 - I think I found the Beck album for me.

2/5 - Some good songs here, but I don't like how this album sounds at all. Cohen's voice is always a tough hill to climb for me, and this one was too much.

2/5 - The only way that I'll ever make it through an entire big beat album is by walking into the other room or putting the volume on zero. I promise I try to like this.

4/5 - Much prefer this to Frank Sinatra. Good energy. Fun time with classic songs.

4/5 - Somewhere between a 3 and a 4. Rounding up because it would annoy Oasis.

3/5 - 30 minutes of this would be good. Glad I heard some of it, but, ultimately, not enough for me here to grab on to and retain.

5/5 - I know this album backwards and forwards. I never get tired of it.

3/5 - Personal enjoyment rating is much lower than a 3, but I know this belongs on the list, so a 3 it is.
