I get why people don't like prog. It's long, it's weird, it's pretentious. But Fragile is a great argument against all that. It's fun, it's catchy, it's a little deep. And there is a song for each member to show off their instrumental chops. And, in case you didn't know, every single member on this album is an actual rock god. Even Jon Anderson, the little weirdo.

Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley
Alright.
Everyone already knows Elvis, so it's impossible to write a first impression review. I grew up listening to the oldies station at home, so by age 13 I already hated him purely from overexposure.
I get Elvis. I get that he brought a new and exciting genre to the white folks. I probably would have been just as nuts for him as most teens in the 50s.
But I'm a 40 something in the 20s now, and it's a no from me. I just don't like his voice. I hate the typical Elvis uh-huh thing, and I hate when he's not doing it too. It's seriously lackluster and sometimes just whiney.
So thanks for all you did, Elvis, but we've got it from here.

Ágætis Byrjun
Sigur Rós
Sigur Rós is one of those bands where I need to take a deep breath and sigh before explaining my feelings.
I tried to get into them a long time ago, but as that was pre-streaming, and I was a poor student, I only ever bought one album. I don't know man. They're not really a band you can just have in a playlist with the other normal bands. They're a sit down, shut up, and listen band. They're a purebred show dog watching the shelter mutts from the shade. (I get that dogs are dogs, I just couldn't think of anything else)
This album was 30 minutes of me wondering how to say \"God, I'm depressed\" in Icelandic, and 30 minutes of me thinking maybe the world is beautiful after all, and knowing better than to look up the translations (having learned my lesson from the first few I looked up).
The music is very beautiful, the vocals are high and breathy, which is off-putting to me. Some songs felt like a dude who was talking too close to my face.
I told my listening buddy that I almost feel bad for not liking non-English music, but at the same time, English might ruin this. My favorite song from the album, Starálfur, is about an elf. I can't take that seriously.
I really don't know if I'm going to listen more. I might owe it to whomever originally suggested them to 19 year old me to try again. Maybe they were right.

Before we knew the sex of our first baby I suggested naming it Deacon, if it was a boy, cause I heard Deacon Blues on the radio. We ended up with a girl, and named her Josie. But not after the Steely Dan song, cause I'm pretty sure that's about a hooker. It's fun to tell her she's named after a song about a hooker though.
Anyway, love Steely Dan. Even though Steely Dan is named after a dildo.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Smashing Pumpkins
This album did not need to as long as it is. Over half of the songs could have been cut and this would have basically been a greatest hits.
I put off listening to this album because I rarely have 2 hours together to dedicate to one album. I chose the day I drove two hours to the airport. It was early morning, dark, and very foggy. Most of the songs made my drive worse. Usually I like driving music that keeps me on the road, not songs that make me want to drive off of it.
I'm conflicted about what my rating should be. I'm going to round up from a 3.5. It's mostly good. I did get sick of a few tracks before they were over, and a lot of them sound very similar. And Billy Corgan's voice...
But the hits are the hits. They're good.

I almost gave this a 3, but then got to the end and yeah, no. This album had no idea what it was, or what direction it wanted to go.

Folk country that is funny, sad, and political so at once. Someone needs to remind new country that their flag decals won't get them into heaven anymore.

I usually only give 4s to albums I'll listen to again. I don't particularly like this, but I cannot deny its cultural impact and the influence it had at the time of release, so there you go.

This is that late 90s/2000s sort of pop prog that I remember, but never got super into, probably because I lived in a small town and this stuff wasn't on the radio. I wish I had, but now I get to, so it's all good. This type of music feels kind running through a field with all your friends.

After reading the description, I wasn't too thrilled about this. Then the first half wasn't what I was expecting. Way more rock, less Celtic folk. The second half, however, was what I was expecting. I wasn't a fan of the second half.
