I don't generally enjoy country, but this was really nice and what I wish more of it was like.
Highlights: honky tonk heroes

Another brand new band/album for me. Nice alternative sound, I could vibe with this. 4*
Rated 2/10
Oh joy, yet another 90s british electronic album \s
Nothing redeeming about this, why is this here. 1*
Rated 10/10
This was pretty fun, I had only heard the hits before, but this was refreshing for the 90s. 5*
Highlights: only happy when it rains, queer, stupid girl
Rated 8/10
The One music video is still in my head after all these years. The rest sort of sounded like generic Metallica. 4*
Highlights: one
Rated 8/10
I like LCD soundsystem, but never heard most of these. Never a fan of his talking/singing, but otherwise catchy. I enjoyed a lot of this.
Highlights: i used to
Rated 10/10
Never heard of this band, but I'm happy to finally get something new and good to listen to. Varied and exciting, deserves to be on this list.
Rated 4/10
I like and am open to jazz, but this one pushed me, too "post modern". To be fair, this probably should be on this list given it's Miles Davis, but it was just too unstructured for me. Feio made my left ear very uncomfortable. 2*
Rated 2/10
I'm only doing 1 disc of this. Generic british drum and bass.
Rated 8/10
Great guitar, but that's Santana for you. Good vibes, more guitar than vocals. 4*
Rated 8/10
Wow, Ozzy died yesterday and I got this? Not sure if crazy coincidence or set up this way.
A solid metal record that stays musical and diverse, lots of cool guitar riffs. 4*
Rated 2/10
Not a fan of Cohen's singing-speaking, and adding 80s backing vocal/synths isn't helping.
Even if you want to be like, his lyrics are good, some of the lyrics were creepy/cringy af.
Did not enjoy this one at all, 1*
Rated 4/10
Lyrical, ren-faire-ish music. Bjork adjacent, but doesn't hit the same. She has a good voice, but not for me, 2*
Not giving it 1* because I didn't hate it like some other albums on here, but I never need to listen to this again.
Rated 8/10
Only knew the titular track going in. Way more diverse than expected: Unexpected west side story in gutter cat vs the jets and the finale, some blues, a little jazz, brass instruments.
Refreshing album from the 70s, 4*
Rated 2/10
Nope, not needed before dying. It may have expedited my death. Noise.
Rated 8/10
Knowing only piano man, I was ready to shit on this as dad rock, but actually really enjoyed it. Good musicianship, varied tracks, good production, good lyrics. 4*
Highlights: vienna, she's always a woman, only the good die young, movin out
Rated 8/10
A really enjoyable white stripes album, but didn't love every track, 4*
Highlights: fell in love with a girl, we're gonna be friends, dead leaves on the dirty ground
Rated 4/10
Justin did her dirty, but this is so very 80s and hasn't aged well for my ears. So cheesy and artificial, couldn't wait for it to end, 2*
Rated 6/10
For decades I took Tracy Chapman for granted, given how much radio play Fast Car gets. What a wild launch to fame she had. Great voice, 3*
Highlights: fast car
Rated 4/10
Punk isn't for me, this was just ok. 2*
