Solid early garage rock. You can hear the beginnings of the Stooges and punk in their sound.

It’s a whole lot of McCartney.

Fuck the Byrds.

I could see fucking to some of these songs.

These are the first batch of REM songs I remember being aware of. So, uh. . . STAND!

One of 2 good Brit Pop records on this list. The other and vastly superior is Different Class. But this still holds up.

So much to parse through on this record. The lyrics are dense and seemingly cover the entirety of Black existence. Couple that with an Afrofuturist Funky Jazz beat and you understand why Kendrick is held in such high esteem.

Had me at the TIE fighter sound, lost me by th second sound.

Fuck yeah!

Even more shit UK Electronica.

More shit UK Electronica. Cool.

This is like the 3rd Byrds record I’ve gotten. They all suck.

Moody wannabe Jim Morrison.

Forgettable orchestral pop.

French MC? Where have you been all my life?

I guess this is the best Beach Boys record? Honestly that’s a low bar to pass. Brian and Company never really could leave their original sound. As such this is underwhelming.

This has strong Frampton Comes Alive energy. How many girls named Jennifer were conceived to “I Want You to Want Me?”

How did the 10 year old me who was super into Aerosmith not realize how many songs are about Steven Tyler’s schlong?

Björk is a vibe that you either are into or not. The record is all over the place musically and somehow it works.

Up and down but listenable record. Not sure I would come back to it.
