RIP legend

I thought this album was the shit when I was like 14. I wouldn't count this as a favourite now, but I still think this is really great. Maybe it is just nostalgia talking but I really do enjoy most of these songs a lot. It is maybe a little too self serious an angsty at points but in a way that's part of the charm.

One of the weirder albums I've listened to for this project. Definitely some great moments on here but I don't see myself returning to this one any time soon.

Far from the best Stevie Wonder album but basically anything this guy did in the 70s was a hit, this included.

This was just kinda boring. I appreciate the fact that this was probably influential or something but there's a million other bands who went on to make music that sounds like this who are far more interesting.

Super ahead of it's time. I mean there's still not much that sounds like this. Love how this starts off relatively accessible at the start and then just gets super weird in the second half while still remaining every bit as good. Cloudbusting and The Big Sky are my favourites here but you could make an argument for any of these songs being the best one.

Practically birthed prog rock as we know it and even still today, over 50 years later this still stands as arguably the best album in that entire genre. Moonchild does drag on a bit but every other song here is among the best I've ever heard.

The songs here sound OK I guess but lyrically, a majority of this comes across as super insincere and I just couldn't get into most of these songs.

One of the best grunge albums ever. Has all of the best aspects of that sound while injecting a lot of other influences to set itself apart from the pack and, in turn, create some of the best songs that the genre has to offer. And, of course, Chris Cornell's voice is absolutely unreal here.

A bit long but most of the songs here rule so I can't complain too much.

No idea what she's on about but it sounds nice.

This is fine. Not great but not terrible either.

An obviously great album but not one that i would consider a personal favourite. I appreciate how short it is and there are a couple of fantastic songs on here but I do think it's a bit too repetitive and stripped back for my tastes, even if it is one of the better albums in this style that I've heard.

Not my favourite album of theirs but early Sabbath is pretty much always great. Some weird experiments on here which hold this back from being better but the best songs on here absolutely fucking rip.

Sounds like a moodier version of the Flaming Lips. Enjoyed this even if it is a bit inconsistent.

Johnny Cash just seems like the coolest guy ever.

One of the best indie rock albums ever. So many fantastic songs on here that it's genuinely not possible for me to pick a favourite.

This is very OK. There's some good songs on here but a majority of this just felt like stuff I've already heard before by bands who do this sound a lot better.

Never really cared for Queen outside of the big hits but this was very good. I appreciated the variety on display here with pretty much every song being in a different style. Not all of them worked for me, especially some of the more theatrical sounding ones, but I enjoyed a majority of the tracks here and the album was at the very least interesting all throughout.

The start of a run of classic albums that would completely redefine music in basically every way you can think of. Also just a really good album in its own right too. Several fantastic songs on this, some of which stand as some of the best songs that this band would ever release like Nowhere Man and In My Life. Could put this on whenever and probably have a good time listening to it.
