All the songs kind of sound the same, but they also sound really good thanks to Frank Sinatra's outstanding voice and his band who are performing at their peak.

Favorite Track: You Make Me Feel So Young

This was absolutely fantastic. I don't know too much about the Beatles but Paul McCartney might be the best. Him, his wife Linda, and their friend Denny Laine smashed it on this. The whole album had a nice sound to it that went a bit more out there sometimes, especially on the first track and last track, but was mostly just a standard good soft rock album.

Favorite Track: Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five

This is some great stuff. I loved the instrumentation on this, all the synths mixed with the rest of it really well. The vocals are standard 70s fare, though, not that they're bad or anything.

Favorite Track: Just What I Needed

I was not expecting to see a whole-ass piano concert on this album. I unfortunately do not believe it fits on this list, though, simply because it's just background music, essentially. The piano is nice but it doesn't really do anything for me. The intermittent moaning was funny, though.

Favorite Track: Part II c - Not actually my favorite since every track on this pretty much blends together, it's just the shortest one so it fits best on my one-track-per-album playlist.

At first, I wasn't really digging the album's vibe. The too-quiet vocals, the annoying piano, but then that second half rolled around and I finally got it. Or maybe the album finally got good, I don't know. This album is a bit showtunes-y with some great electric guitar thrown in, I kinda got Grease vibes at some points. This would be a 4 if it weren't for the relatively uninteresting first half. I haven't listened to any other Bowie albums at this point so I don't have anything to compare to, but I think this is an alright start.

Favorite Track: The Jean Genie

Hooray. Another boring folk album. I'm sorry that this is good and that I don't really like it, just blame the creators of this list and the RNG gods for having probably about a sixth of my albums so far be folk music or psychedelic rock or something else of the like from the late 60s or early 70s. Also Neil Young's voice is kind of annoying.

Favorite Song: Southern Man

Based off of how good this album's most popular song is, I was expecting a fun synthy 80s pop album. However, this was instead a pile of neon shit covered in used condoms with a really nice light-up Christmas star at the top that says "Tainted Love" on it. It tries to be a fun sexy time with provocative lyrics, but the production is utterly shit and Marc Almond's vocals sound like pretty much every other British pop artist from the 80s so it completely cancels out that whole vibe.

Favorite Track: Tainted Love

Green Day knocks it out of the park with more bangers. I loved the two long tracks on here, plus how most of the songs came in pairs and blended together. This was pretty much all of the same positives as Dookie, which I was given about a week ago, but even better.

Favorite Track: Homecoming

I'm not one for the slow acoustic stuff, and that still goes for parts of this album, but when it got infused with the nice beats? Great stuff.

Favorite Track: Pass In Time - I loved the vocals from the second singer on this one, as well as Orton herself.

Some nice chill beats and good vocals. This was pretty boring most of the time, but not bad.

Favorite Track: Glory Box

Mostly kind of boring to me, but the stuff in the middle was pretty great. Loved the drums and piano on this whole thing, though. Stevens' voice was also great.

Favorite Track: Miles From Nowhere

Jimi Hendrix is a god. However, I don't really dig long jam tracks and the album as a whole went on for a bit too long. Other than that, pure magic.

Favorite Track: Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

This was great. I don't know why but this album felt a bit more varied than other folk albums from its era. Maybe it was the saxophone. Throw a good saxophone on a track and you instantly get bonus points from me. This album sounded quite melancholy, but beautiful at the same time. Great stuff.

Favorite Track: Poor Boy

How many artists can say that they have FOUR of their most popular songs on a single record (one was a rerecord, but still)? Green Day can, and that's not even mentioning all the other bangers on here I've never heard. I think the first three songs were a bit samey, but from Longview on I was loving it. Amazing guitar, amazing drumming, and Billy Joe Armstrong always kills it on the mic.

Favorite Track: Basket Case

Starts off incredibly strong with Immigrant Song, then turns into an okay folk album. Weird pivot, but whatever.

Favorite Track: Immigrant Song

I had low expectations, considering this is a late 60s album labeled as psychedelic with a typical album cover. However, this was quite good. The best way I could describe it would be as a mix between the Beatles and the Beach Boys, with a bit of organ thrown in there. It was pretty great, I wish it was longer.

Favorite Track: Time of the Season - This caught me off guard, usually the more popular songs are at the middle or beginning of albums, so I wasn't expecting a song I already knew to be the last on the track list. That organ solo at the end is magnificent.

More boring psychedelic rock. Fun. Half of this was just annoying jam tracks that made this 32 minute album feel a lot longer. The distortion was fine at first but then they just went way too overkill with it.

Favorite Track: Summertime Blues

The album is fine. Going into it with high expectations since Psycho Killer is already on all of my playlists set me up for disappointment, though. I was expecting something a bit more unique, but this was just average.

Favorite Track: Psycho Killer

A nice jazzy album. A bit boring and unoriginal sometimes, especially on the vocalist-less and less upbeat songs. Pretty decent, didn't need to be an hour. Only time I'd listen again is to put it on in the background to chill or work on something.

Favorite Track: Samba Do Gringo Paulista

Fuck 1969. A few of the albums from that year have been good, but most of it is just this "psychedelic," pretentious, annoyingly long, "jam session" horseshit. Anyways, this album was fine, I guess. It was boring, but it did actually catch my attention sometimes, hence why this is a 2 instead of a 1. If something is gonna make me stop doing this list, it's 60s folk and psychedelic rock. Jesus Christ.

Favorite Track: Who Do You Love (Part 2)
