You can hear all of 90s alternative and modern rock contained within these songs. Oasis, Foo Fighters, Failure, etc were clearly influenced by these guys. It’s cool but a bit whiny for my tastes.

A monster achievement of a record but somehow also a step down from the three masterpieces that proceeded it. Too much Roger Waters self-psychoanalysis.

Definitely the better of the two Joy Division records. “Twenty Four Hours” is especially my jam.

A lot to like here. Some very cool harmonic twists and turns. Blows Jethro Tull out of the water as far as flute-based 70’s rock is concerned.

Had never heard of them before. The first few tracks are pretty cool. Kind of a less melodramatic Muse. Liked it less as the album went on though. Too much of The Killers in there.

Another wonderful record from Björk. This one more intimate and personal than the others I’ve heard.

I enjoyed this way more than I expected. Great beats, flow and vocal harmonies. Lyrics that are refreshingly heartfelt.

Undeniably badass. Not a ton of variation throughout the record and kinda cringe at times. But mostly fun, dirty rock n’ roll.

It’s no Pet Sounds, but there are some cool tracks. RIP Brian Wilson. He died yesterday! Can’t be a coincidence.

Even worse than The Strokes. The obvious intentional derivative posturing is like at like AI levels.

My mom loves this shit. Voice is definitely strong. I prefer her in the lower register though. The hyper-celtic falsetto gets a bit tiresome after awhile.

Thanks to this project I finally know the difference between Buffalo Springfield and Dusty Springfield. Weird how each track on this is a somewhat different flavor of 60s folk rock. I like some of them okay.

In general I don’t like it as much as the other Kinks album I’ve heard on here but it definitely has some strong tracks including “Situation Vacant”.

First rate prog rock! Feel like this is a big influence on the John Zorn Simulacrum stuff.

Eno starting to come into his own. I dig it. Fripp’s contributions are great.

I don’t like this one quite as much as the other one I’ve heard on here, largely because the hits have been somewhat ruined for me by their presence in commercials.

I had never heard of her before. She’s awesome!

“Gimme Shelter” is a good song. The other hits on here are okay. The rest is just more Rolling Stones’ slop.

This album is the musical equivalent of that scene in Idiocracy with the guy who “really likes sex”.

Mostly pleasant but unremarkable.
