Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Starts and ends strongly but the middle loses me. Leans a little too psychedelic at times (see: Mr. Kite). Within You Without Out is like when your family makes you watch a slideshow of their vacation photos. When I'm 64 sounds like the theme song to a children's show.
The title tracks, Getting Better, She's Leaving Home, and Good Morning Good Morning are great though.

The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
Aimless, meandering, and interminable with an incessant cacophony of nonsense. There are some decent songs buried in there, but you have to slog through so much shit to get to them. Time is decent enough once it finally starts in earnest. And Money is the obvious best song because it's the one most structured like, you know, a song. But even that becomes tiresome by the end.
This is an album that I will never understand.

My high school calculus teacher once gatekept me for liking this album. I was wearing a shirt with the album art on it and she asked my favourite song on the album. I said Train in Vain (which fucking slaps) and she said "Oh, I prefer the more political songs like Spanish Bombs" as if I was some simpleton. She then proceeded to quiz me on the band member's names. I could only name Joe Strummer in the moment and was embarrassed but looking back, who the hell cares? I just loved every song on this awesome blend of punk, reggae, ska, and disco.
It's still the only double album I've ever heard that completely earns both discs.

Any one of these individual songs would be fine as a change of pace track on a more upbeat album.

When did Swift become allergic to writing hooks? no body, no crime is the only track that comes close to being enjoyable for me. Everything else is just... nothingness.

Alice in Chains has never been my favourite of the early 90s grunge acts. I always found their style a little too heavy, a little too sludgey for my tastes.
Dirt is easily my favourite of theirs though, as it has some fucking awesome songs (all of the singles and a handful of others).
But the deeper cuts remind me of that unique AiC style that doesn't really do it for me. The more plodding, darker tracks don't resonate like the rest.

Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix
Mitch Mitchell is arguably the most underrated drummer of all time. Dude can rival anything Bonham or Moon were doing but Hendrix overshadowed all, so he's rarely in the discussion.
Speaking of, it really bothers me that these albums are just credited to Hendrix himself on Spotify and not the Experience. Further minimizing Mitchell and Redding's efforts.

Aerosmith is one of those bands that's always Livin' on the Edge of greatness and terribleness for me. On any given day, I'll either love or hate Steven Tyler's mewling. Today was a good day for it, but I could easily see rating this a 2 any other time.
Also, Pump is notably an album where the enduring singles are some of the worst tracks. Love in an Elevator is fine I suppose, but Janie's Got a Gun is just bad.

A bunch of these songs would be pretty good if they were 3 - 4 minutes long. Instead, oh so many of them stretch out to an interminable 6 - 8 minutes for seemingly no reason.
