I am not the target audience for this and k. d. lang’s sound isn’t really my thing.

However - there are moments of beauty in an album full of queer love songs.

Definitely a precursor to groups like Tribe, Jurassic 5 and Arrested Development.

The sampling and beats are up and down, some shine. But the positive vibes make the record work.

Broader sound than my personal fav Rum, Sodomy and the Lash - but still a solid record. Fairytale of New York is probably the greatest Christmas song.

A mostly fun power pop record.

I can really see smoking cigarettes and trying to make it with a Sarah Lawrence girl circa 1960 in this record.

Everything But a Song I Want to Listen To.

This starts strong with the shoegazey I Wanna Be Adored - then turns to jangly Madchester crap. Boo!

I’m beginning to feel like I missed out on understanding any appeal of electronica because I wasn’t doing E at clubs in the 90s like apparently everyone who contributed to this list.

Every fucking record sounds the fucking same.

Teenage Fanclub answers the important question of - what if the Gin Blossoms were Scottish and better reviewed than Nirvana?

This is very jangly, very early 90s alternative rock.

Enough of the overly long electronica records already - I’ve already come a long way baby!

So much crappy over sample electronica on this list.

This sounds like a bad Prince record. Overproduced 80s pop.

How many late GenX/Early Millennials named Jennifer and Kevin were conceived to ‘Baby I Love Your Way’?

The world may never know.

Fun classic country.

Maybe I would have been more into this had they been called the Flying Chalupa/Al Pastor/Torta/Crunchwrap Supreme Brothers?

I could really see mounting an epic D&D campaign to this if I was born in 1972.

Everything But The Girl sounds like they should be a twee indie band based on the name alone.

However they are another electronic Brit band with a female vocalist. Honestly between Goldfrapp, Portishead and EBTG they all blur together.

Just some classic Glam Rock. Wish I owned this n vinyl.

I was surprised by this one. Reminiscent of Portishead. Great rainy day in New York music.

A record of shit samples. Just a white owner of a fashion store ripping off black folks.

Cool.
