Fairly good psychedelic rock, great bass on this.
Favorite Track: Sunshine Of Your Love

Not much to say, just a great funky album.
Favorite Track: Boogie On Reggae Woman

Theatrical rock is the best, man. Ao over-the-top for no reason and I love that. The vocals are outstanding, backup singing is great, and the band is top-notch.
Favorite Track: Bat Out of Hell

Loved the violin and backup singers on this. Main vocals were eh. The back half was a bit better for sure.
Favorite Track: Come On Eileen - This song is so good, there's a reason it's the one that popped off. That bridge at the end is outstanding.

A fun dancey album, but held back by its sameness that's made worse by the near full hour-long length.
Favorite Track: Qui cherche trouve

Prince is one of the kings of 80s pop. The snares, the guitar, the saxophone, the beautiful vocals. It's a masterpiece.
Favorite Track: Purple Rain

Metal just isn't my thing, man. I appreciated some of the instrumentation but I just don't like the super deep voice style of singing in metal.
Favorite Track: Siege of Power

The beats on this were amazing. The singing was pretty boring, though.
Favorite Track: Paper Planes - I wouldn't say this song carries the album, but it sure as hell makes it a lot better.

Another boring psychedelic 60s album. Next, please.
Favorite Track: A Place in the Sun

Releasing this album is the second worst thing the Germans have ever done. How does this even count as music? The only rhythm comes from banging on metal bowls and pipes. However, starting a song on your industrial album with actual power tools is pretty funny, even if the rest of the album is genuine earrape.
Favorite Track: Absteig and Zerfall

Loved the instrumentation on this, felt like listening to a movie soundtrack. However, the grAaAaAaAaAnd vocals got a bit annoying after a while. Some songs were pretty misogynistic, too.
Favorite Track: Jackie

This has its moments, but most of it is just meandering and making random noises with the guise of being interesting or clever. I can handle long songs, but this was egregious. 15 minutes of bullshit as the opening track? Seriously?
Favorite Track: Easy Money

This album was all over the place in a good way. Lots of different instruments, varied tempos and vibes song-to-song, loved it.
Favorite Track: Golden Age

Most of this was pretty basic disco. Le Freak and Savoir Faire are easily the standouts, the former because its popular and the latter because it's really fucking good. Most of this album is pretty repetitive, though.
Favorite Track: Savoir Faire - I had to look up the guitarist's name to say this: Nile Rodgers, you are the goat. Holy shit. This song may have some of the best guitar-playing ever. Transcendent.

Some classic ABBA songs on this one. A great album all-around.
Favorite Track: Money, Money, Money

I can definitely tell how influential this was because of how it simultaneously sounded like this and was also released in the 80s. Typically I don't like whiny singing but this kinda worked for me. The guitar was stellar. There were some unexpected instruments on here, specifically on "Idiots Rule" and "Jane Says," and they sounded great. Putting a jazz interlude right before the last track is kinda funny but it still worked surprisingly well.
Favorite Track: Idiots Rule

This was pretty grating. This style of singing is horrible. I am dreading the other four Tom Waits albums on here.
Favorite Track: Down, Down, Down

A great jazz album.
Favorite Track: Just A Gigolo / I Ain't Got Nobody

This did not need to be 70 minutes. I fucked with a good amount of it, though, but some of the beats were a bit too goofy-sounding for my taste. Still a decently fun album all-around.
Favorite Track: Ms. Jackson

Pretty basic lyricism, but I can't deny how hard that guitar goes. Rockabilly is so good.
Favorite Track: That'll Be The Day - Loved the guitar on this one the most.
