I got halfway through the first track and could go no further. Honestly I’d rather listen to their disco records- at least there’s some kitsch value there.

Fun 90s grunge-y lady led band. This brought me back to Junior High and every dude including myself hating this band but thinking Shirley Manson was hot.

Oh man - misogyny is a real thing. Sorry for being a shithead Shirley!

Anyways, I digress. This is a solid debut with some great tunes.

Meh.

Back with another one of those cock blocking electronica albums.

Jazz for White people at a Key Party.

This is all over the place, in the best way possible. Has that epic quality that mid-aughts Indie rock had.

I love the interconnected songs on the B-side of this. Lots of schmaltzy Paul-ness to this, but less so than in Let It Be.

This starts out as a loud rocking punk record - before evolving into a showcase of Chrissie Hynde’s powerful voice.

It’s special. (So special.)

I could see waiting for a flight listening to this.

If I didn’t know Highway 61 and Blonde on Blonde I’d probably love this. But as it stands this isn’t my favorite Dylan record. There’s some classic tunes but for me this is an up and down record.

I’m tempted to give this five stars just for Sex Dwarf. But beyond that surreal highlight and the guilty pleasure of Tainted Love this was a slog.

UK Nü Metal. Really not my cup of tea. I liked how political the singer was but that’s about it.

This was super fun. A psychedelic record that just seemed to be making fun of psychedelic music. The lyrics are funny. You feel like you are in on the joke as you listen.

Obligatory Ryan Adams is a giant piece of shit.

That out of the way - the first half of this is pretty ok. The rest blows. Come Pick Me Up is a solid breakup tune.

Fun piano driven rock-n-roll. Enjoyed listening to this.

Boo this man!

I dug this. I love Ornette Coleman and a strange noise filled album featuring riffs on his sound was just a fun listen.

First deep dive into 2Pac and man I did not like this. Just bad rap over bad R&B beats. One of the things this list has shown me it’s that I really dig East Coast Hip Hop and could care less about West Coast.

Gothic post punk from Nick Cave. I’ll be honest Cave’s lyrics didn’t fit so well with this sound for me. Perhaps if I had hear the Birthday Party first I would have dug it more.

I love the first half of this record but the second half always drags for me. Still a tight band and that funky bass line in Cripple Creek makes me smile every time.
