Not including Yo La Tengo is another obvious miss from the editors. There are way too many bands with a handful of albums on the original list, which means that stuff like this is overlooked - it becomes very apparent due to the user list… And I’m only 9 albums in. A few of Yo La Tengo’s albums could’ve fitted in; including this one. Great variations between lovely, short ballads and longer, more intricate compositions. Great band, great record.

This. This right here might be the most glaring omission from the original list. Not Hand. Cannot. Erase. necessarily, but Steven Wilson himself. Easily one of the most important figures in rock in the 21st century and not a single album. Ridiculous. Hand. Cannot. Erase. is a beatiful example of what Wilson can achieve on his own. Majestic, tragic and, as always, brilliant.

Public service announcement. If you’re currently listening to Elvis Costello, stop immediately and listen to Joe Jackson instead.

The first user album on the list, and it’s an obscure, Spanish rock album from a super group playing songs based on the lyrics of a poet? Count me in!!

Better than a lot of the country albums on the actual list. It’s very decent with a few songs being great even - e.g. “That Old Time Feeling” and “Desperados Waiting For A Train”.

Mylène Farmer is not a particularly interesting singer - and the compositions are even worse. There’s absolutely no progression in any of the songs and still someone somehow decided that every song should exceed the 5 minute mark.

It only dawned on me as this album appeared, that Bon Iver had not been included on the original list. One of the most influential indie bands of the 2000’s? What a weird and wrong decision that is. “Perth” is one of my favorite album openers of the last 20 years and while Bon Iver don’t keep that level of intensity throughout, this is an obvious miss from the editors. Thank you, person who submitted this.

Daft Punk laid the groundwork with Homework, but they changed the game with Discovery. This would have been the obvious inclusion on the original list.

Another fine, middle of the road country album. Starts if strong only to take a dive from “I Feel Lucky” through “Not Too Much To Ask” until a Lucinda Williams cover saves the day. It should be noted that this really isn’t my genre - but Come On Come On is worth a listen.

A live album is probably the right way to get acquainted with the work of John Dwyer - it’s chaotic, noisy and wild. I could have done without the lengthy ending track though. It’s ultimately the thing that makes this a solid 3 instead of a 4 for me.

Surprised to find Bob Seger here. On Stranger In Town he uses two different backing bands - and it’s very noticeable. When he’s backed by the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section he sounds like any other blues rock singer-songwriter. It lacks nerve and authenticity. It’s a different story when The Silver Bullet Band is present. Suddenly everything sounds organic and full of life. Had he stuck to the band, whose name is on the cover, this would probably have received another star.

14 punk songs in about 30 minutes? Please and yes. Fun, energetic and fast.

I remember Susanne Sundfør being very popular when I was in high school. I didn’t get it back then, and I really haven’t been thinking about her since then. Turns out I still don’t get the hype. It’s pretty, but also pretty boring.

I normally don’t care that much for language barriers in music - but there’s always artists, that are much better if you know the language. You probably wouldn’t be a Dylan fan if you didn’t know any English? Hombres G sound quite fun at times, but my Spanish is, unfortunately, insufficient. "Él es... Rita la cantaora" was a highlight, but most of the album lacked something for me to hold on to.

I like the story behind this and the production choices are borderline insane. I really like a lot about this, but it is really necessary to include what is essentially more than a decade old demos from a guy who hasn’t released anything since?

I thought being done with the original list meant being done with long and shitty electronic albums. I appear to be wrong on that one. This is one of the shittiest ones yet.

It’s basically a concept album about a man waking up and going about his day. It’s as fun as it sounds.

Exotic punk! Way heavier than I thought this would be. It’s a blast and incredibly fun from start to finish.

Not nearly as catchy and memorable as I expected a solo album with Bob Mould playing every instrument would be. It was fine, but I don’t remember much of it half a day later.
