Music by a pedophile and abuser, about pedophilia and abuse. This definitely deserves to be on the list!

This was pretty good new wave rock. Howeve, there is just so much new wave stuff out there that is far more interesting. Pretty good just doesn't cut it

It's impossible to predict whether or not I'll like a metal album, but this one wasn't too over the top to drive me away

Favorite Songs: Then She Did

The start of this is really eclectic and pretty impressive for 1967. Didn't leave as strong of an impression now, but I can see how this was influential when it came out.

Favorite Songs: Femme Fatale, Venus in Furs

It's like Oasis, but not. That's really all I can say on this one

Yeah, that's blues rock

Too long, too noodly, and just not interesting enough. Killed me by the end of it

Honestly just want to give this bonus points for being different from the rest of the list. Not amazing, but quite good

Favorite Songs: Little Bird, Caravan Girl

I'm sure I would've gotten more out of this if I really listened to the words, but as it was it just didn't draw me in

Favorite Songs: Let the Bells Ring, The Lyre of Orpheus, Easy Money, O Children

Didn't really know I liked Bjork this much, but I really dug this. The combo of electronic, ambient, and pop really created something unique that I was sorely needing in this list.

Favorite Songs: Pagan Poetry, It's Not Up To You, Unison

I've got a soft spot for Robbie Williams, mainly from the monkey movie. That said, he is just pure Britpop. Nothing wrong with that, but it is pretty funny.

Favorite Songs: South of the Border, Let Me Entertain You, Angels

Didn't love this at the beginning, but it really settles into a groove in the second half. A little better as background music than I may like, but this man is obviously talented

Favorite Songs: Soya, Ledi Coumbe

Probably the best Depeche Mode album, but not my favorite. That said, the dark atmospheric vibes are excellent.

Favorite Songs: Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence

Loved the psych rock/soul combo. Shocked I haven't heard more from this artist. He's right up my alley

Favorite Songs: Rolling, Piano Joint, Solid Ground

I like some metal, but not this. Just growling and yelling

Great weekend to get this album. Played it while grilling and running around the hills on a stunning fall morning. Honestly that probably helped the album a lot, but it's just great blues rock

Favorite Songs: Down to the Waterline, Water of Love, Sultans of Swing

Maybe it's because I was doing dishes, but this album really annoyed me when it started. I hated the first few songs and it's just too long. However, the back half is much better. Just listen to his dad though

Favorite Song: Nawa

Just flew by. It's decent, but not outstanding

Favorite Songs: We'll Let You Know, National Front Disco, I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday

Shout out to "storied musicians who make a whole album about their mortality only to pass away shortly after its release." Gotta be my favorite genre.

In all seriousness, Cohen's voice is haunting in this. You can really hear the effect age has on his voice, and it helps accentuate the themes of this album. Not every song is a hit, but the atmosphere it creates is exceptional.

Favorite Songs: You Want It Darker, Treaty, Travelling Light

You really have to have nostalgia to love this. It's so over the top angry and loud. Music to play Call of Duty to.

Favorite Song: In The End
