Sounds like Imagine Dragons woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

The Simple Plan by August is Falling

Congrats on the hot tub, Pat. I-V-VI-IV. Beato.

Canciones 1989-2013 by Extremoduro

Whoever thought it was a good idea to add a 3 hour 39 minute career spanning compilation of some of the most generic rock music known to mankind ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen

My friend whom I completed this project with submitted this album. He picked a good one.

Puzzle by Biffy Clyro

Congrats to these guys for making the most generic and uninspired rock album of 2007. Has to be one of the most annoying ways to open an album I’ve ever heard.

Game of Fools by Koritni

There are two demographics that would seek this out: divorced dads and marketing professionals working on a commercial for an oversized pickup truck that will spend its whole existence in the suburbs never being used for its intended purpose. The truck will be purchased by the divorced dad who will then complain about gas prices.

Nonagon Infinity by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Jul 02 2025

I’ve seen these guys live 8 times now. (2 more next month!) I can confidently say they have to be one of the hardest working bands today. 27 albums since 2012 and not a single bad album.

I had the distinct honor of seeing them play a sold out homecoming show at the Pageant in St. Louis. While they may not live here any more, I take great pride in having them as hometown heroes. A former coworker vaguely knew Dylan in high school. Apparently he was just as weird then as he is now.

Souvlaki by Slowdive
Oct 17 2025

This was the album I submitted. I felt it odd that two of the big three Shoegaze bands made it on the official list, but not Slowdive, especially given that they are just now seeing their peak in popularity.
