I think this might be my favorite John Martyn album so far. The album is, apparently, about his divorce. From the Wikipedia- The album was written and recorded while John Martyn was in the process of divorcing his wife Beverley, and the songs strongly reflect the emotional upheaval that he was experiencing at the time. Martyn and Phil Collins forged a close friendship during the writing and recording of the album with both musicians going through painful divorces at the time - Collins played drums and provided backing vocals.

I did not connect with this album. Highly produced folk music that has become popular in the last decade or so.

Interesting pick. I didn't love this album but I'm glad to see someone submit an album from a woman. Pretty standard 80's pop album.

This was a great album. I had listened to a few individual tracks through the years and nothing really stood out to me. But hearing the songs in the context of the album really helped me understand Doom's style. This is great and I can see why it should be on the list.

I do not see the merit of this album whatsoever.

Really unique French (Quebecois) prog rock. An album worthy of the list. Many of the songs are insanely long and the album itself is 85 minutes long.

Mogwai are cool, but it's always OK at best. Too much ambiance and very little of substance. Some songs are long, some songs aren't. This album featured a few songs that had vocals.

Cool hiphop/house album. I’m glad to see more electronic music on the list.

Great Indian house music. A real surprise and great addition to the list.

Good indie singer songwriter stuff. Not trait my thing but undeniable talent.

Standard classic rock stuff.

Jesus Christ. This is sensory overload. Whatever talent they have is buried by their hyper ironic lyrics and their fear of being genuine. It’s exhausting.

Cool to see the modern funk/jam band style reflected on this list. Never heard if these guys before, glad there were some lyrics on some tracks too.

Run of the mill country singer songwriter stuff. She’s talented, but it’s not my thing.

Cool concept album. Worth a few additional listens.

Interesting enough concept album by a indie/folk singer. From the Wiki - "Each song on the album is from the perspective of a different fictional narrator. Although it is set in the Kingdom of Bryneich, from the 400s to the 600s CE, it is intended to be a modern record, the stories and plight of each character largely contain universal themes that connect to the present day."

Pretty good pop album from a British star in the 2000s. Not really my taste of pop, but a worthy inclusion.

One of the better non Marley reggae albums I’ve heard.

Good album. Not sure I needed to hear another one from Garbage, but I am glad to be more well versed in their music.

Glad to have gotten the chance to listen to this. The first half is great but I lost interest toward the end.

Cool to hear a more unique group, but this did nothing for me and is particularly harsh. Kinda sounded like a punk band in its DIY-ness, but was closer to the Replacements.

More reggae. Again, not bad. But too bland to be more than background music.

I get that it’s on here for its cultural significance, but this is over produced, vapid, Muzak.

Not my thing. Sounded a lot like the over-represented stuff on the original list. British post-punk.

Great album but not as good as Awaken! in my opinion.

It’s ok. Not my thing. Sounds similar to Sonic Youth.

Beautiful infectious indie music.

Wow, what a talent. Olivia Rodrigo can do it all.

Cool album, not sure where to place it genre-wise. Acoustic singing with hip hop influences. Glad to have been exposed to this.

Some pretty good stuff on here with a wide range in sound. The female vocalist was my favorite, “don’t marry her, fuck me.” lol. A charming and unique spin on contemporary country.

Glad I got this on a Friday, it really hit the spot. PPP are a jam band through and through. This album seems like a poor imitation of DMB's jams, though. Their musical vocabulary is not vast enough for more listening, but it is still good enough. I wouldn't go to see them, but if I were at a festival and they were playing, I'd make an attempt to see them.

They do have a certain uniqueness to their sound, so there’s merit. But beyond the initial spectacle of the deep vocals, it’s pretty standard.

Sounds exactly like you think it would.

Great concept album inspired by Poe.

It feels like this album is kind of cheating, as it is revered for its overall performance and not just the audio. However, it's still an easy 5 star album.
