Fragile
YesHad this one on regular repeat in my teen years. Spent a huge amount of time learning to play Mood for a Day (badly) on guitar. Still a personal favorite album decades later.

Music For The Jilted Generation
The ProdigyI'd probably love this if I were 19 rolling on molly at some underground rave, lol
Deja Vu
Crosby, Stills, Nash & YoungI know and love this album well, but I'm always struck by the vocal harmonies of CSN/CSNY, and this album is a great example.
School's Out
Alice CooperBetter than I was expecting. The only song I was familiar with was the title track, which got radio play in the 70s. Blue Turk was a nice surprise.
Since I Left You
The AvalanchesThis is pretty tedious and I'm just wanting it to be done. At least ETOH was basically tolerable.
Horses
Patti SmithMy go-to Patti Smith albums for enjoyable listening are Wave and Gone Again; Horses was new to me and I found it a harder listen. It's just so raw, so visceral. Which is true of the albums I know as well, and maybe it's just a result of being better acquainted with them idk, but Horses was a less melodic listen somehow. Ultimately, like others have said Patti is more edgy poet than musician, especially here, and some level of discomfort is perhaps the point. The standout tracks for me were Free Money and Birdland. I'll definitely listen to this one again.
Arc Of A Diver
Steve WinwoodHey, late 70s/early 80s was my era, so I don't hate the 80s sound like so many of the reviewers here. Still, this probably doesn't quite manage a 3.5 for me, despite the comforting familiarity of While You See a Chance, Arc of a Diver and Night Train.

Stand!
Sly & The Family StoneExcept for Everyday People I thought this was mostly forgettable, having aged poorly. 2.5
Songs Of Love And Hate
Leonard CohenI like to think that so many of his songs have been covered by other artists because they said to themselves, "I think I can sing this song better than that."
On The Beach
Neil YoungI've only heard this one once or twice before, and didn't know any of the tracks well enough to sing along, but it's solid. 4.5, rounded up
Psychocandy
The Jesus And Mary ChainWhy is adding white noise to music desirable? Mostly simple, uninteresting tunes that just faded into the background for me.
Picture Book
Simply RedThe Talking Heads cover (Heaven) just doesn't approach David Byrne's tongue-in-cheek delivery, and frankly doesn't work for me, but overall it's a nice album. Anyone not moved by Holding Back the Years simply has no soul, in my opinion.
Your New Favourite Band
The HivesBest song: "Hate to Say I Told You So" but it still doesn't bump this album up to a 3 for me.
Shaka Zulu
Ladysmith Black MambazoWhat was interesting as counter to Paul Simon just fades to humdrum on its own.
Searching For The Young Soul Rebels
Dexys Midnight RunnersThis was new to me, and might be a 4 with a few more listens.
