This album has so many undeserved haters. Fuck yall I love it so much. I get why Julian Cope might weird some people out but this was the first album of his I heard and I fell in love.

This list actually forcing me to sit down and appreciate Brian Eno is one of the best things it’s done. This is another great album of his. I don’t think it’s as good as Warm Jets, but this has Kings Lead Hat, one of the greatest songs I’ve heard on this list. There’s definitely hints of his later career and focus on ambient and experimental stuff.

There’s definitely some good stuff in here. I do wonder if it’d be better with a different singer.

More like Lust for Children. Gross. The bummer is this is a really good album outside of that song. But that’s probably because of David Bowie’s heavy influence. I don’t fucking know all I know is I can’t think of Iggy Pop without getting deeply uncomfortable

It sure is an album that is exactly what I expected. It sort of just hangs around, at no point do the lyrics capture you.

Tricky to review just because it’s such a drastic departure from western music I’m used to. It IS very pretty and relaxing though. Plus my ears do like the attempts to make it accessible.

I had a Dandy Warhols greatest hits and I feel like that was the best way to experience them. Junkie is an all timer. A real fucked up critique of an incredibly specific person, which is amazing. But this album on the whole isn’t really connecting. It feels a little disjointed and full of stuff that should have been left off. It’s 20 minutes too long.

This is an absolute all timer. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant might be one of the best songs I’ve heard on this list. And Always a Woman my god it’s so beautiful. And that’s not to mention the big hits on it.

Muse always sound like they’re DESPERATE for me to take them seriously. They want me to think they’re so cool so badly. They’re big dorks. And not in an endearing way. But a sad way. Pwease like us here’s our cowboy song, you like cowboys right? Why are you doing a cowboy epic. Uhhh cause it sounds cool. Any other reason. No. Ah. Like Supermassive Black Hole has A BILLION streams. And it’s just comparing what…banging a lady? WANTING to bang a lady? Is she the black hole? Is she just that good at sucking dick that you compare her to a black hole? That’s so fucking lame. Not just a black hole, a SUPERMASSIVE black hole. What a bunch of fucking nerds. Music for the I Fucking Love Science crowd. Shut up

Sometimes Led Zeppelin really does sound amazing. And other times the Lemon Song shows up and sucks shit the whole time. Sounds like a parody of themselves.

This is a really great album but it doesn’t have the same bangers the other two do. It’s still really good.

There’s like 8 million psych rock albums on here which would leave you to believe EVERYONE in the 60s was on acid. It’s really is just overbearing and all of them blend in to each other. The Byrds are talented but there is no distinguishing this from their other efforts or the efforts of their peers

Freud would have a field day with some of these songs. Bull Session with Big Daddy is an insane name for a track Jesus and it’s just them talking.

This rules. I think we need more sitar Moog fusion music. I think it’s definitely dated. Like you can pinpoint the exact week this came out. I think it’s really fun though. I don’t know that I’d ever listen to it casually but I’m glad it exists

My introduction to Pantera was the SpongeBob episode Prehibernation Week. And then I heard them because Walk was Rob Van Dams entrance music in ECW. So to me they were always kind of a joke. Having listened to this album. They’re kind of exactly what I expected. Which isn’t a bad thing. They definitely feel a lot more meat headed and stupid than other metal bands.

The fucking face I made after reading all about apartheid and protest only for the song called Mandela to be like…a song that would play over a shopping montage. Water From an Ancient Well? More like water from the JCPenney bathroom. I guess it’s fine? But I. The way that Jazz is tough to critique unless it’s actively painful. I think other songs capture an emotion that makes more sense? Contextually? Maybe? I don’t know how to explain it but there’s something about the sound of this album that’s so 80s in a bad way. Some of these songs could be in a sitcom, eugh

This is such a banger. Absolutely joy to listen to.

Well now this album being here fucks all kinds of things up. If this is an interpretation of a classical piece why the fuck isn’t the much more important Switched on Bach on here. I thought that was because classical albums didn’t count! Also! WHAT IS HAPPENING. The fact there’s LYRICS??? I kind of love this for its sheer audacity. It’s TERRIBLE, literally less than the sum of its parts. But it did make me laugh so

The Native Tongues are always full of bangers. I think the worst part is that compared to De La Soul and Tribe, this sounds dated, whereas the others feel so forward thinking. I think there are some great moments, and this is a super important album

I think this is sort of a platonic ideal of background music. Occasionally interesting, but never distracting. This one is particularly French. And sometimes it gets its Franceness all over the place.
