Grace And Danger
John Martyn
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.

The Amazing Devil
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.

MF DOOM
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.

L'Heptade
Harmonium
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
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.

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.

Richard Dawson
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.
