Tres hombresZZ Top

Rated 8/10

Groovy as all shit. "Master of Sparks" has this righteous second guitar thing creeping in the background. Everyone sounds great and sounds great together.

This was fun. The list has made me weary of random Brit bands but this is what great 90s music was about. Irreverance, sick guitar slaying, lyrics about not giving a fuck.

"Holding Back the Years" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written for me. The rest is fun but not so interesting.

Rated 8/10

I dug this! Not sure why it's on this list in particular but super pleasant and fun listening.

1989Taylor Swift

Rated 6/10

Absolutely hated the first track, but mostly this is a solid pop classic. I'm not sure if Swift is a lyrical genius, but she clearly is gifted in writing songs people love with lyrics they relate to. Lots of songs that remind me of college.

FuneralArcade Fire

Rated 6/10

Some haunting and atmospheric works on here. But I don't think this is the best Arcade Fire album and it's hella whiny. I left an Arcade Fire show early because I came for the opener and people around me seemed more into it than I could be.

I love "Running Up that Hill," and Cloudbusting is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard. I started writing this too soon, because I hated the eponymous track and loved so much else. I definitely think this should be on here, there's nothing like it in a sea of Brit Pop.
