You know when being in a group makes it so that everyone’s worst impulses are held back? Well apparently the rest of the Smiths did that to Morrissey.

This is just more depressing and more mopey than it should be. The saving grace is there’s none of the crazy right wing bullshit that Morrissey now shouts about.

This era of using autotune to make a “creative” point has not aged well. I guess this is a transition record for Madonna - going from the darkly hypersexualized work of the 90s to a more club/dance friendly style. Don’t let the cowboy hat fool you!

This guy fucked a lot of 80s mom’s with his sweet soft rock styles.

Echo is better than average New Wave. This doesn’t have Killing Moon which is cool with me - Spotify’s algorithm has overplayed that song for me. This isn’t mind blowing but it’s not a chore to listen to.

Solid live album. Wasn’t a big fan of the quip about hitting women.

Elegiac late Johnny Cash. His voice is aged but still powerful. Johnny’s takes on some of his older songs along with covers shows an artist still pushing himself to create something meaningful.

Well looky what we have here. . . another shitty House record. It can’t be!?!?!?!?!

I should have googled the editor of this list before I started - I would have avoided a lot of UK Shit.

I was sort of into this. Especially the 2nd half - it was less Proggy.

This is so much fun. The samples, the jokes, the pop culture references are all firing at once.

Fuck this noise.

I’ll give this to Brian Wilson, despite all the boozing, drugs and mental illness his sound and style remained constant.

Very average 70s singer-songwriter. Best song is the last one, which also is super short.

Answers that age old question: what if Michael Caine made a hip hop record?

Not OK.

There’s an irony and pop sensibility to this. The robot persona is a certainly more fun than the whole Daft Punk shtick.

Plus this is a great record to listen to in Cars.

Part of me wondered should I be meditating to this? While another part thought where’s my bong and a giant stack of naan and pot of vindaloo?

This is one of those - does this warrant being the 2nd album on the list artists.

Is it bad? No. Am I the target lesbian for this? No, I’m not a woman.

But I guess Canadian Crooning Country is a thing?

I love Big Star. This record is a solid debut from Alex Chilton and the boys.

Proto-punk at its finest. This must have made hippies ears bleed.

Past peak Marvin Gaye on this one. It’s not bad, but is overly long.
