classic floaty 80s pop production that i frankly cannot stand. everything's tinny and shallow but otherwise it's fine

even if you somehow like this melodramatic, caterwauling doofus, i don't know what could possibly be gained from having FIVE of his godforsaken, unlistenable albums on the list. shouldn't the point here be to provide as broad and varied of a selection as possible? I'd argue there shouldn't be ANY repeats, even of the Beatles or david Bowie or whatever other artists have been canonized, but certainly not of this insufferable show-tunes-for-people-with-donnie-darko-tattoos garbage

i like no wave, i like experimental music and weird jazz and stuff, hell, I've given good reviews to captain beefheart and pere ubu and throbbing gristle on this very website! his voice makes me want to never listen to music again, i get and am thoroughly over his stupid fucking shtick, and i eagerly look forward to receiving his fifth album from the generator and finally being free of this unbearable pretentious idiot

first time really listening to erykah badu outside of her features on other artists' songs and honestly I'm a little disappointed. the music is a little too flat for my tastes, there's no ups and downs, just very chilled out and stable, both in terms of volume and energy. her voice is undeniably good but i feel like she's not doing anything too crazy with it, again she's keeping it at like a 4-6 the whole time when I'm wanting her to crank it up to 10 and pull it back to 1 as needed. not a bad album, just very much not to my tastes

interminable indie boy bullshit

if i wanted to listen to a really unpleasant and annoying man go on and on about a gangbang I'd just redownload grindr

this whole project would be much more exciting and enjoyable if there was a strict "1 album per artist" rule. I'm sorry for nick cave's loss and this isn't nearly the worst of his albums appearing on the list but i hate his voice, i hate his whole "deal," and i don't know what i possibly have to gain from listening to another 70 minutes of him

well i *could* do without the Kanye shoutout

pretty fun and engaging in moments but also pretty meandering and self indulgent in others

first half is more lively and new wavey than i've heard brian eno before and i can't say i'm exactly a fan. not a bad album by any means but certainly not my favorite of his

knowing the story behind this album's production it feels like it may not be very authentically 'beach boys' (at least as that is generally understood, especially in terms of lyrical content) but as someone who isn't a huge fan of vocal harmonies and loves Student Demonstration Time I'm okay with that

also i don't know if the generator specifically gave me this because of Brian Wilson's death but RIP buddy

this isn't the worst of the otherwise barely distinguishable 300 Elvis Costello albums on this list, but it *is* the only one where he says the n-word!

the TBI Doors

outer space music (not complimentary)

i was pretty into this album at release but had the distinct displeasure of working in retail at the time and had to hear High Horse about 5 million times, which really killed my enthusiasm or really any positive feeling towards the album. given some space (cowboy) though, I'm right back to thinking it pretty much slaps

low quality recording and low energy performance, everything i look for in a live album

overwrought, overly theatrical and slightly pretentious. not awful but certainly not for me and definitely not the best arcade fire album

i do really like led zeppelin but there is just no compelling reason for this to be 80 minutes long. there's a fantastic 50 minute album in here but instead it just sort of meanders and repeats itself

boring rock slop with one of the most aggravating singers to ever disgrace the microphone in Steven Tyler

cooler than i was expecting but not by much. the noodling on "Generation Landslide" is very fun at least

bizarre and unique in a way that i can't help but find a little endearing, especially in the broader context of this list
