Rated 6/10

Was good. Never been a huge fan of these guys but still not bad.

Love Stephen Stills' song Treetop Flyer. Bummed it was not on this one. Album overall was good just not sure it should make this list.

The WallPink Floyd

Rated 10/10

This album got me turned onto Pink Floyd back in the day, which led me to buy their boxed set (when those were still a thing). I became obsessed with this band and still put them in my regular rotation. Shine on!

Nevver heard of this dude but saw he was a folk singer and got excited. Then I listened. He is no John Prine or Woody Guthrie and that is all I can say about that. Pretty subpar.

Rated 10/10

Fleetwood Mac will always be highly rated by me. Although this choice of album is odd considering all their other hits.

TransformerLou Reed

Rated 8/10

Take a Walk on The Wild Side is an underrated song that deserves more praise. Rest of the album was good. Nice pick for a Friday!

SMiLEBrian Wilson

Rated 2/10

He was OK when with the Beach Boys but as a solo artist? Come on man! Ain't nobody got time for that.

I feel like I could passionately defend this take via the 'Change My Mind' meme with the dude behind the table: If this album was Joe Schmo's work instead of having the name Brian Wilson there is zero chance it makes this list.

Rated 8/10

Never heard of these guys, which kind of surprised me considering the first song on the album had 750 million listens on Spotify. Overall I thought they were pretty good. They were a little poppy (popish? pop-centric) for my tastes, and often floated into a blend of background music, but really enjoyed it.

The Passenger will always be such an iconic song. The rest of this album was just acceptable though.

I wanted to like these guys back in the day. I wanted to like them now. I feel like I should like them. But something just isn't right or good with them for me.
