The least good of the really good Beatles albums and the one I would probably leave out of my personal list if I was ever inclined to make one. Some of their best songs among some really forgettable tunes, unfortunately. There's an amazing single album in here somewhere, but the thing just drags a bit too much as a double album.

This is one of the albums that is very clear-cut for my rating system. Will I ever listen to it again? Very likely no. Do I think this was a worthwhile listen and that other should go through the same experience? Yes, thus this earns my 3 as "I understand why this was listed, even though it's not my thing.".

Aimee Mann
I was excited to see an Aimee Mann album on this list, but I must admit I was a bit puzzled by the choice itself. I'd say any one of her next three releases would have been a better choice, especially Bachelor No. 2. This remains a very good album, but I'd struggle to justify its inclusion in such a limited format list. Since I do believe Aimee Mann is more than worthy of a nod, I'm giving this a 3, but it would surely be upgraded to 4/5 if a more relevant album of hers was selected. If you enjoyed this at all, I would recommend digging deeper into her discography, as there's certainly more good stuff to be found, even better stuff for a good portion of her career!

Led Zeppelin III
Led Zeppelin
This is tough to rate. To me it's "lesser Zeppelin" but lesser Zeppelin is still very good. I'm just rating it low-ish because of the real state this occupies in a list with such a limited space. There at least 4, maybe 5 LZ albums I'd rate higher for the list.
