Maybe it was a pioneering album, but in a vacuum, meh 1*

Dad rock. It's fine, not offensive, nothing super interesting. 3*

I saw singer songwriter from the 70s and groaned.
But I was SO WRONG. This was delightful. A lovely voice and instrumentation. Holds up over time. 4*
Highlights: one of these things first

The who had some iconic songs, but does a live album deserve to be here? Very few live albums (see: johnny cash's folsom prison) are anything outstanding. Didn't know most of the first half. 2*
Highlights: happy jack

Short, sweet, good vibes. I'm in a beach in Miami in the 50s. I'm at the Copacabana.
Granted, I've never been to either, but this is what it evokes.
4*

I love ABBA, and have listened to their poppier hits many times, but never this. A more mature album with the same ABBA charm and harmonies. 4*
A more fun breakup album than Adele's 21 from last week.
Highlights: let the music speak, one of us

All samey, and I don't enjoy this guy's voice. It's like what I don't enjoy about punk. Did this deserve to be here? Probably not.

YABA
(Yet Another British Album)
By which I always mean, another british rock album that adds nothing new and was something I didn't need to listen to before dying.
1*

She was 21 at the time?! Never heard this in its entirety but many songs were so mainstream at the time. There's so much love-related angst delivered in her signature voice. 5*
I needed something more upbeat after this, very depressing.
Highlights: rumour has it, set fire to the rain, someone like you

Like most people, only knew paper planes from MIA going in. This was different than most electronic/hip hop of its time. 3*

Weird that apple calls this pop when it's clearly country. Meh, 2*

This album fucks

Eminem planted a seed in me to hate this guy in the early 00s, but I, now a more evolved human, really dig Moby. Apple gave me the 2.5 hour version of this album and I listened to all of it without looking for the earliest exit to be able to call it "listened to." Easy 5*
The back half was more atmospheric but still very enjoyable.
Highlights: porcelain, natural blues, bodyrock, honey, why does my heart feel so bad, south side, everloving

YABA (Yet Another British Album)
Yaaaay more 70s english rock.
This is ok, nothing outstanding.

OMG, Fallout New Vegas! Breaking Bad!
Outside of those pop culture bangers, actually a nice western album, would watch tumbleweeds tumble to this. 4*
Highlights: big iron, el paso

Very 90s alternative sound. Enjoyable for the era, 4*
Highlights: cut your hair

YABA!!!
(Yet Another British Album)
Seriously, what is the point of this? A chore to get through, nothing new added here.
1*

Would I listen to this again? Probably not, but this feels like a good record of Americana that is worth having been exposed to at least once, I appreciate its inclusion. Some really cool bluegrass in this. 4*
Fun fact: I only know will the circle be unbroken from the excellent adaptation in bioshock infinite
Highlights: black mountain rag, flint hill special, orange blossom special, both sides now (basically all instrumentals)

A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME
I'm not a good judge of jazz, but this was enjoyable. 4*

Genius of love -- is this the source of that hook? A fun little album, the boardwalk cover was cool. 3*
Highlights: genius of love, under the boardwalk

Hold music. Not worthy of this list. 2*
