Really stripped-down, deliberately no-personality. Pretty interesting experience!

I like Never Loved A Man more than this one, but Aretha Franklin all-time excellent

This is the fucking thing with 80s metal, man! If each of these songs were like 50% shorter, this would’ve been really solid, but as is they’re not interesting enough to justify how long they make you spend with them.

This one really knocked me on my ass, clearly a big influence point for a whole bunch of bands I like a ton.

One of my all-time favorite albums. "Halleluhwah" alone earns them a spot in heaven, an I'm extremely into the rest of it

Unlike with The Who and Nirvana, I am very sure the popular songs off this one are the actual good ones lol. Mr Brightside and Somebody Told Me are A-OK, the rest may be safely left in the past

Rare example of pure country music I found pretty engaging the whole album

Lmao I love this album. Title song’s whatever, but Hungry Like the Wolf makes me smile so fucking much

Bob Dylan might be another case of I Gotta Sit Down With The Lyrics, bc on first listen I just found him kind of grating.

I’ve given Rush an honest try before, they just never clicked for me. Decent, but...something’s missing

He has such a good voice! I don’t even like genre he’s doing and I was swept away!

Big nostalgia album! "Seven Nation Army" owns bones, the rest of this is distinctly worse, but pretty good still

Overall pretty good! Hard to set aside the charles manson mystique around it

haha oh my god he’s so fucking sleazy on this, I love it

I feel like I need to read some production history to get the hang of this one

Way more misses than hits, but still a fun time capsule of what everyone I knew in middle school was blithering about at the time

Damn I went in kind of expecting not to like it, and it turned out to be really good! *Trampled to death by approx. 1,000,000 foaming Gen X men*

This seemed like something I should like a lot, and instead it annoyed me.

Felt really bad that I did not like this. might revisit, could just be it wasn’t good music for taking a bath.

With a couple Bowies under my belt by this point, he’s kind of a mixed bag for me; there’s usually a couple songs per album I’ll like a lot, and the rest leaves me really cold. That said, I still haven’t heard anything from ziggy stardust era, so there might be missing context or something still.
