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.

I don’t know how I’ve been totally oblivious to this. It’s absolutely incredible. Almost didn’t notice that 77 minutes went by. It’s ridiculously grand to the point of almost reaching megalomania - it never does though. “Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane” ended up being the highlight for me.

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 name, the title, the cover art - everything tells me, that I should like it. I just never really got the point of Death Cab for Cutie. I’m quite bored throughout most of the album and even the promising build up of the lengthy title track barely leads to anything. There’s a few good songs along the way and “We Look Like Giants” is really great even! In the end I just don’t get the hype.

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.

I really enjoyed Underwater Moonlight, but this solo effort just doesn’t cut it for me. The sparse instrumentation never develops into a unique and engaging sound and while there are a few great tracks, I won’t be revisiting Eye as a whole.

One of the most danceable interpretations of pain and sadness in recent history.

You’re a pretty cool guy, Mr. Cameron. I don’t think I fully get the concept behind his solo stuff yet - if I did this might have been a 5? Extremely catchy!

There’s really no need for more music like music like this on the list - but there is a need for some Nik Kershaw. Human Racing is a great choice. Really fun and catchy with some extremely memorable songs in “Wouldn’t It Be Good” and “Cloak And Dagger” just to name a few.

I don’t know how I’ve been totally oblivious to this. It’s absolutely incredible. Almost didn’t notice that 77 minutes went by. It’s ridiculously grand to the point of almost reaching megalomania - it never does though. “Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane” ended up being the highlight for me.

Great choice including some Bad Religion on the list. Catchy, accessible and on point with their highly critical world view. Greg Graffin’s legendary voice is easily recognizable and fully deserves a spot here. Great pick.

What just happened? Café Tacvba takes you in all directions possible - and they do it with confidently. I’m not always sure what is going on, but I know that I like it. More Spanish language albums please.

The name, the title, the cover art - everything tells me, that I should like it. I just never really got the point of Death Cab for Cutie. I’m quite bored throughout most of the album and even the promising build up of the lengthy title track barely leads to anything. There’s a few good songs along the way and “We Look Like Giants” is really great even! In the end I just don’t get the hype.

Easiest 5 in a while and an insane miss from the original list. Images and Words is a classic and should be cherished as such. It’s not my personal favorite of their albums, but if I had to pick one of their album to show to others this would be it every single time.

Normally not a musical person, but I absolutely love Hadestown. The original idea and recordings by Anaïs Mitchell is great with an exceptional cast - but I still prefer the Broadway Cast Recording. It’s just hard to compete with André de Shields and Patrick Page. “Wait For Me” and “Why We Build the Wall” are some of the greatest musical numbers ever written and I fully think either this of the Broadway version deserves a spot here.

The new wave of British rock is crazy. Sports Team wouldn’t be my own first pick to showcase the overflow creativity from within the scene, but they’re a great choice nonetheless.

The first 5 songs are just perfect. It’s essential Tool and contains some of their most iconic tracks. I fully get why it’s more of a question of preference and taste thereafter. It dives into the weirder parts of the band, but especially the duo of “Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)” and “Rosetta Stoned” is mesmerizingly great. I still almost don’t believe that Danny Carey plays what he does with just four limbs. Thank you for bringing some much needed Tool to this list.

With the amount of Talking Heads already on the list, there’s no need for this. It’s great and they were an absurd live band at this point - but you should watch the film instead.

I don’t really get much of what he’s saying, but I’m loving the vibe. Great production, stellar beats and an impeccable flow.

Please stop being this talented Mr. Glover. “Redbone” is the unmistakable centerpiece of the album, and even though the rest of the songs never reach the same height, there’s no denying the quality of the album.

Just listened to Death Cab For Cutie and I, to my own surprise, found this way more enjoyable! It sounds a bit dated today, and I unfortunately wasn’t riding this way back when it was released - but if I had been, this would easily have been a 4.

I've heard about Manchester Orchestra, but I wasn't that familiar with their work. Extremely well-written concept album from a group with a clear vision of where they're heading. Especially the closing track is pure brilliance.

I don’t know what Stars are trying to achieve here. I only know that the end result is rather boring and forgettable.

I only knew the classic title track, but I really enjoyed the first half of the album - it felt kind of nostalgic. I’m not really a fan of pop-punk in general, but something clicked with me. Was it the violin? Was it the great chorus on “Only One”? Hard to pinpoint. It began falling apart in the second half and from “Inside Out” I was officially out. I still understand the inclusion of something like this.

A little too on the nose? A little too stupid? Gemstones always seem to be one of the two - at times it’s even both at once!

This ended up not being as bad as I thought it would be after when I was two songs in. It belongs in another era and the band is not nearly good enough to pull of the weird ideas they come up with. There were a few highlights along the way, but I wouldn’t explore their discography further unless I really had to.

Excellent. Hooked from start to finish. Definitely didn’t get the chance to immerse myself enough in the lyrics, so I will be revisiting this rather soon. Also, contender for least fitting artist name.

Not as Welsh as some Welsh albums come, but still quite Welsh indeed. It was quick, rather fun and at times quite clever. Most of the times it was just a nice background album while I was doing other stuff. Liked it, didn’t love it.
