This record is a whole vibe. I went in and out of the vibe because I had to start and stop it a lot. But when you’re in it - it’s pretty great.

I love Emmylou’s voice. But I’m not sure if she’s the type of artist I want to hear an hour of. But man when she shows up on backing vocals for random bands does she knock it out of the park.

Meh. I don’t want to go back to life. (Back to reality.)

There’s something that feels especially feral and raw about the Fiona record. Gone is that cutesy at times sound of her early records and here is a powerful singer with no fucks left to give.

What if someone made a Psych record that didn’t suck? It would be this.

Really didn’t like this. I think that I’m discovering beyond Who’s Next I’m not so into the Who.

Fun Glam-ish rock from the Sparks brothers.

It was ok. There are some noise groups I love and really get and others that I’m not so into. Put this in the latter camp.

Oh cool a former Byrds member putting out a second rate Band album.

RIP Ozzy. Black Sabbath is like the fun, witchcraft obsessed, less talented version of Zeppelin and I mean that in the best way possible.

Meh. Not for me.

I feel like if a record sounds like it would have been played over the final scene of a Grey’s Anatomy episode it should be disqualified from the list.

Beautiful orchestral power pop.

Very Working Class English. More ups than downs. I liked it.

The Doors are one of those bands that are easy to love when you’re young and want to feel like you understand things in a deep esoteric way.

Then you get a little older and realize Jim Morrison was a drunken buffoon and organ led rock and roll is lame.

That being said - LA Woman is a legit great song. Especially the part where Val Kilmer sings it while sitting on the John.

How are there TWO Slipknot records on this list?

I want to say that Creedence is a guilty pleasure band but they’re too good that. Every song is listenable. Proud Mary is great.

The problem with this is that it gets to the point where it’s no fun anymore very quickly.

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes is the best song on the record by far. Wooden Ships isn’t terrible. The rest of the album is overstuffed filler.

Fucking Swedish Pop earworms.

This record is a fun listen - especially if you’re an At the Drive-In fan. More proggy but within a math metal loud screamy way.

The back half does get a little long in the tooth, but still a worthwhile listen.
