Maybe there's a reason (murderous) Phil Spector shelved this. This was ok, kind of generic pop, nothing new about it, not sure why on this list.

Sounds like many other 60s albums; very few exceed the Beatles for me. Not sure it's held up over time, it was just ok for me. 2*

Rated 4/10

Anything CSNY (or its components thereof) has so far been pretty mid for me. Not bad, but doesn't do it for me. 2*
Highlights: the end of jet set

Ska-ish, kinda fun, but nothing outstanding enough to be on here. Liked it more than expected. 4*
Highlights: dreaming of you

Why would I be looking forward to "a mix of sheer abuse and welcome diversity, for a truly challenging listening experience"?
This shit is just noise. It gave me anxiety listening to it.

This guy uses vibrato how I use vibrato when playing the violin to cover wrong notes, aka, all the time. I think this would have been nice without that on every note. Did he just learn this technique the week before this was recorded?

(I've written this so much lately; the makers of this list just really suck and need to listen to music made in other countries)
Pretty mid and brought nothing new to the table, 2*

IDK what to make of this. Punk-ish, but also 80s-ish. It's ok, not sure what merits it being here. 2*

OH MY GOD, FINALLY THIS MASTERPIECE GRACES MY DAILY DROP
5*, no notes, gets better on every listen
Highlights: secondhand news, never going back again, go your own way, don’t stop, the chain

Only knew Killer Queen going in. I feel like there's so much to Queen I didn't even know existed (stone cold crazy), executing on so many genres with incredible musicality. 5*
Highlights: killer queen, stone cold crazy

YABA (Yet Another British Album)
"Turning point as a maturing artist" WTF is this amateur hour shit where the moment it's mildly ok, it deserves to be on this list?
Meh, it was fine, not bad, 3*

Rated 8/10

Fun, punkish album. Needed to hear before dying? I'm not so sure.
Highlights: connection, indian song

Rated 6/10

I think it's fascinating that having a 20-minute track these days is not of note, but back then it represented an entire side of a vinyl. That track should have been 21:12 long, just needed 40 more seconds of guitar jams.
I actually enjoyed the guitar/drum jamming, don't like the dude's voice
