The music itself is a 2. Sounds incredibly dated and not that interesting. Gets a 1 because of how awful the artist is

I'm fully aware I listened to this full album, but I couldn't tell you one thing about it. It is pretty good, but it didn't stick with me in any way.

I couldn't even finish this album, skipping through the last three songs. Having no nostalgia for it certainly doesn't help. It's more boring than anything else. A little too much edge, not enough actually interesting ideas.

Makes a ton of sense that this album was produced by David Bowie. Lots of songs in here that I have heard before and enjoyed, but not very cohesive as an album other than a common sound. Much much better than I had expected.

Favorite Songs: Lust for Life, The Passenger

Love a good conecpt album. Willie is wonderful to listen to, and every track is nice and calming. I'll have to give this a relisten later

The Beach Boys have always sounded pretty dated to me, but I was surprised with just how good Pet Sounds was. I was hoping this album would continue to change my mind about their music, but no.

I'm struggling to form an opinion on this. It's definitely pretty out there, but I really appreciate just how over the top it is. With that being said, none of the songs really stood out for me.

Unpopular opinion, but I liked this album way more than Graceland. Very emotional and heartfelt album that still manages to be fun the whole way through.

Favorite Songs: Peace Like a River, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

I have no nostalgia for this, as I haven't heard this album in its entirety before this year, but it's an incredible concept album. Unlike similar albums that get lost in their own lofty ideas, this album rocks the whole way through. Some slower parts lose my interest a little, but as a whole it's so far above the rest of the pack.

I did not expect rock and flutes to go so well together, but I was proven wrong. People hating on this just don't have enough whimsy in their life.

Favorite Song: My God

Not what I expected from the album with such an iconic song. It's a lot more melancholy, folksy, and interesting than I thought it would be.

Favorite Song: American Pie, Vincent

On a first listen, I thought this album was fine, but I felt like I was missing something. I gave it a few days and came back, and my opinion has completely changed. Excellent all the way through.

Favorite Songs: Gypsy Eyes

Whiny, boring, and monotonous. I'm sick of albums like this already

Qualms over the contents of the lyrics are definitely valid, but I do love Amy Winehouse's voice.

Favorite Songs: Stronger Than Me, You Sent Me Flying High / Cherry

I listed a favorite song, but it is the only one I remember listening to in any capacity. Boring, repitive, and unremarkable.

Favorite Song: Take Me to the River

This album was kind of insane. The instrumentals seemed more focused on being weird than on being good. I loved it

Favorite Songs: Starship Trooper: a. Life Seeker, b. Disillusion, c. Wurm, Perpetual Change

Very psychedelic. Might be for some people, but not for me. Too many confusing ideas.

Favorite Songs: Shine Like the Stars

Really not sure why this Beatles album is on here. I was never a Beatles fan, but listening to all their albums helped me appreciate them. This is not one of those albums that is really notable in any way

Favorite Songs: Till There Was You

I have never listened to Radiohead before. Today, I learned I don't like Radiohead.

I definitely prefer Led Zeppelin IV, but this was still a great listen
