I want to like this record more than I do. The way that it gets influenced by grunge, trip hop to make for a richer listen. However, it is not my cup of tea.

8/10 [KEEP]

The quintessential Cat Stevens album, it is filled with great lyricism, catchy songs throughout and overall a very enjoyable listen.

9/10 [KEEP]

One of the most experimental R.E.M. albums which is however not in my top 5 of theirs. I much prefer Reckoning, Lifes Rich Pageant, Out of Time and Adventures in Hi-Fi from those not in the list. I would swap it for the latter most probably.

One live album that definitely merits its inclusion. My favorite of his is however, Electric Mud which I feel is one of the most important records of the genre.

I thought I was not going to like this one but I got pleasantly surprised. It is not only very well produced but there are no obvious misses.

7/10 [KEEP]

Not the most essential of Curtis' albums, but in here he is as soulfull as ever. Overall, more of a fan of his Superfly era.

It is a punk angsty record which sounds bettet than I expected at first. I enjoyed listening to it.

7/10 [KEEP]

Very avant-garde psych rock album. Among the variation of the group's members, this is probably the best iteration which produced what is perhaps one of the greatest psych rock albums of all time.

I enjoy this more than their debut, it sounds equally as angry and raw but it seems to have a bit more of direction.

7/10 [KEEP]

Very iconic album in latin music. Most of the songs are hits that permeate through culture. This is the sort of album that I expected to watch in this list.

It is the Nick Drake album that least resonates with me. If one had to be removed from the list it would be this one. However, it remains a great record for what it is.

I was not familiar with this as an album. It does of course contain some of her bangers and ends up being an iconic listen.

I am more of a Dirty Computer guy myself so I might swap the album by taste but this is definitely the more important listen.

9/10 [KEEP]

Very enjoyable album. Kind of suprised to see it on the list. It is quite out there and while it does not feel groundbreaking or anything it is a fun listen.

8/10 [KEEP]

It is THE 90s britpop album. I guess this one is a merited inclusion unlike way to many uninspired records on this brit-biased list. However, it does not do anything extraordinary, it is just a correct record.

7/10 [KEEP]

One of the most beautiful albums of all time. It has no skips and is so enthralling yet innovating for its time. In my opinion the greatest album of the 80s.

10/10 [KEEP]

Solid album by Elliott Smith. I would rather have any of his earlier records before this one.

7/10 [SWAP]

As someone who really isn't into metal, this is probably my favorite album on that vein. It is packed with bangers.

9/10 [KEEP]

One of the greatest double albums of all time. I prefer Highway 61 and The Freewheelin' over this one but it is undoubtedly a masterpiece.

9/10 [KEEP]

While less inspired than Low on that Berlin era vein, it remains probably one of the most forward thinking Bowie albums and the one who carries the title track so it is overall a tough exclusion.
