I want Kathleen Hanna to be my girlfriend.

If you loved the 2013 Coen Brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis - let me tell you that this folk record that has different versions of the songs from that film is NOT for you. This dude blows.

So a couple of things - the album title and a duet with PJ Harvey *feel* too on the nose for Nick Cave. Like don’t you only sing murder ballads?

All kidding aside the only thing that bugged me about this record was how Nick slipped into Leonard Cohen a bit too much for my liking.

Damon Albarn is Rubbish, amiright?

Dead Kennedys Über Alles.

Look out honey because I'm using technology.

Croon-y Ray Charles is not my favorite. It's not terrible, but this sounds heavily sanitized.

In 1994 I was 12. Fairly certain that this record had a profound impact on white kids my age. Coming back to it 32 years on it brought me back to that age. I was mouthing all songs as the 12 year old inside of me hated what I have become.

Welcome to paradise.

I wasn't aware that there was as band that out britished the Kinks, but here we are. I dug this!

Beautiful piano songs.

That's a no from me dawg.

I feel like I write this record off a lot - but shit it's solid. Personally I prefer The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle thru Nebraska era. The 80s synth sensibilities take this one out of my top Bruce records.

No one ever asked for a Stephen Stills double record. Ever.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I actually like Randy Newman or if I'm just being ironic?

Math-y Metal-y. Pretty good!

If you've ever felt like the organ riff in Light My Fire wasn't annoying enough - man do I have a sitar album for you.

Not my favorite of the Dad Rock on this list.

Maybe it's me - but Lana Del Rey feels like an artist that is polarizing? Maybe I'm wrong? But I dig her. Her songs are journeys and she has as unique way of telling stories in these songs.

I get why there are two CHIC records on the list, but I’d rather listen to the hip hop songs that sampled them.

Australian early punk - sometimes with horns!
