Rated 2/10
I really didn't want to listen to white trash music, especially not 1.5 hours of it. The singing is mediocre, it's giving local dive bar. Not worthy of this list. DNF, no ragrets.

This is giving early 00s where we threw hip hop at everything. Cool cross-genre songs though, good vibes from this album overall.
Rated 6/10
I thought I was missing out on Prince all these years, but I think he just has some great bangers, and the rest of his catalog is just meh. Most of this was kinda crappy 80s pop.
Rated 6/10
Robbie is nostalgic to me and I just watched his movie so that might sway some of this. Most of this is generic 90s pop. Angels is the standout here. Old before I die was like Temu Oasis.
Highlight: angels, let me entertain you
Freedom '90 was already one of my favorites before even listening to the rest of this album. The whole album is very soft rock-coded, that grocery store in the 90s vibes. Still, enjoyable, easy listening. 4*
Highlights: freedom '90, waiting for that day
Rated 8/10
Killer voice. This is my second album of hers, and it again feels like the age she claims to be on the album name is just a made-up number. The topic and musicality always seem like they should be coming from someone 10-20 years older.
Having heard these only on the radio, the production on the album itself really comes across (credit to Apple lossless).
Really enjoyed it, 4*
Highlights: hello, send my love
Not everything Elvis Costello needs to be here. 2*
This is fine, boring, bland.
Rated 6/10
With such a non-serious title, I was ready to dismiss this. Some catchy tunes. The coconut song was too much.
Highlights: gotta get up
Rated 8/10
"Latin jazz" feels like an odd classification from apple music. I enjoyed this, different from most stuff on this list.
Rated 4/10
Was expecting to hate this, not as bad as I thought. The mockery went over my head. 2*
Rated 4/10
I always thought MBV was an emo band before hearing a single song of theirs.
This is a lot of droney guitar distortion. I'm in a small music club in Portland.
Anyway, it's fine, not for me, not sure why it's here. 2*
Rated 6/10
An ok cure album - A forest came on my algorithm last week and I loved the intro. Got kinda meh with the singing. Repetitive musically in the last couple tracks. 3*
Highlights: a forest
My algorithm keeps trying to get me to listen to PJ Harvey, maybe because Thom Yorke is in this.
Meh, not for me at all. She's fine, but I'm bored. 2*
Highlights: the mess we're in
Rated 8/10
Van Halen is always such a pleasant surprise. I want to dismiss them as dad rock, but every album I've gotten of theirs has been a banger. Where most albums just ramble and have lots of filler, this one keeps it tight. 4*
Jump is such a fun start.
I always thought panama was "cannonball."
Hot for teacher has excellent instrumentals.
Highlights: jump, panama, hot for teacher
Rated 8/10
There's a lot of british electronica on here, it can't all be special. I vibed with this more than I expected event though it's repetitive AF.
Highlights: banstyle/sappys curry
Rated 4/10
This was fine. I'm not a hip hop connoisseur, but this didn't blow my mind.
Rated 8/10
I already know and like some of these songs, but I'm surprised to find how long this is. I think this will work to its detriment. I listened to the 50th anniversary release which is hopefully a little tighter. Lots of nice songs, but could have been trimmed down.
Highlights: my sweet lord, all things must pass, isn't it a pity (v1), what is life
Rated 8/10
This flowed nicely (can't remember the last time an album felt so seamless), good beats.
I could really vibe with this, 4*
Water was too weird. End of album was some weird electronica.
Rated 2/10
YAB(P)A!!!
Yet Another British Punk Album
Maybe THIS one is special!
NOPE, more garbage. 1*
Songs for the deaf is probably a better album, but I've never heard their debut, so I'm excited.
Off the bat, already love their energy, but they get more polished in later albums. Last few tracks felt too experimental for me and made my ears physically uncomfortable. 4*
Highlights: walking on the sidewalks
