Another one I never would have heard otherwise. I was surprised this was released in 2002, as it sounds very early 90s to me; but that's not really a bad thing. Really enjoyed a few of the songs, especially "What's Golden", though I probably won't listen to the whole album again.

Another one I hadn't heard of before, but that I mostly enjoyed. Anything with sci-fi vibes will usually get me, and a lot of the lyrics are (sadly) still very relevant.
May not listen again, but I'm glad I did at least once.

Hadn't heard of this one before listening, and had a great time with it! Not sure what to say about it other than "good vibes." 😊

I know and love a few songs from The Cure, but haven't really gone into their discography much... This one is not so much my thing, unfortunately. Really like a few of the songs, but the rest feels a bit too ambient, if that's the right word to use. I think I'll enjoy some of their later albums a lot more.

Haven't listened to this before, although I've listened to their album Urban Hymns and remember liking it a lot . . . Kind of surprised this one is on the list; it's fine, but I don't think it was particularly influencial??

Another one that I definitely wouldn't have heard if not for this project, and not what I was expecting. Really interesting to listen to, though I doubt I'll come back to it.

Exciting! This was a band I had been meaning to get more familiar with anyway.
Already knew a few of the songs here (Do it Again, Dirty Work, Reelin in the Years), so those stand out for sure. The rest are good as well, although I did start to get a little bored towards the last couple of tracks, so can't give it a full 5.
Look forward to listening to more of them though.

I laughed at how far I had to scroll down through the discography to get to this on streaming, lol. Nice enough to listen to; I'm familiar with a few of the songs at least, and I like those... Another one I probably won't go back to personally, but I get why it's on the list.

The funniest possible follow up to yesterday's album for me - from 6 tracks 1h 34 minutes, to 14 tracks 15 minutes!
Listened to this several times because why not? Probably won't come back to it, but a good time anyway. Can definitely hear the influence they've had on some other bands I've listened to, which is cool.

The first one that I had heard none of before this project, and probably never would have tried otherwise (purely instrumental albums are definitely not my thing).
I know nothing about jazz, but I had a good time just taking it in! Not really for me but I appreciate the talent :)

I'm sure I've listened to this one in full at some point in the past, but it's been a while since I've heard anything other than "Fairytale of New York". Definitely danced around the house listening to it :)
Being raised partly on Irish folk music I really can't give it less than a 4. Nostalgia maybe playing into it a bit, but who cares!

A quick listen; kind of like one long song, but it's a good song! I only knew Blitzkrieg Bop previously, but the whole thing was fun to listen to. Will probably listen again.

Just going to give this a 3, say I get why it's on the list, and move on...

Fun! Has to get at least 3 stars just for Dancing Queen :) Some good dance-y songs; some questionable lyrics...but still very easy to listen to!

Awesome start for me! Obviously Psycho Killer stands out but what a great album overall!
