Bee Gees
1/5
The Bee Gees were a lot more successfull at ripping off black artists than they were at ripping off white artists

John Lee Hooker
2/5
I do not begrudge John Lee Hooker for selling out like this, he is a blues legend and I'm fine with him securing his retirement funds. However, I do not see the point of adding this album to the list in favour of some of his classic stuff.

Koffi Olomide
2/5
It's a shame that so many "world music" (a stupid name to begin with) albums on this list are clearly watered down versions of the local music ready-made for a Western audience. Like with this album: all the edges are sanded off and replaced by this 90s as fuck production. Africa has so much interesting music and yet on this list we get the commercialised stuff because anything remotely authenticly African is scary for western people.
I don't hate this album, I hate what it represents

All of my 1-star reviews so far are albums that piss me off, while this is just so completely forgettable that I can't even remember any single hook or riff from the album. So no, The Hives won't be my new favourite band

I've been wanting to get into Nick Cave for a while now, and now I've finally got an excuse. This album is just fantastic, but I will concede that the second disc drags a little bit, although for a double album the pacing is surprisingly good. A great entry point into a fascinating artist

Tom Waits
5/5
I pity the person whose first interaction with Tom Waits is Bone Machine. It is abrasive and challenging, and if you're not in the right mindset to process that it will bounce right off. But if you are receptive to this sound (and conditioned by some of Waits's other albums like Rain Dogs, Swordfishtrombones and Mule Variations) you'll find a harrowing beauty in it
The Dictators
4/5
Went into this album with kinda low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. You can really hear the punk sound in the vocals. I also love the production here, sounds really good. I also love that the album ends with a goodbye, love when that happens

Right, so the reason this doesn't work for me as opposed to something like The Wall is that it feels insincere. It's like they constantly started adding whatever bullshit they could think of in order to justify the length. There are a couple good songs on this album (as usual with the Who, way more a singles band than an album band), but as a whole it's just a slog to get through.

Slint

It's funny how Slint and Talk Talk are seen as foundational artists for the genre post rock, when the two bands couldn't be more different from each other. Talk Talk is intimate, vulnerable, and life affirming, while Slint is angsty, unsettling, and oppressive. Yet within later post rock releases you can find traces from both bands. While I prefer Talk Talk's Laughing Stock over Spiderland, I cannot deny the influence this album has had on so many later bands.

Anyway I've got no idea why this is on the list but Post and Homogenic are not. Post is a bit messy but contains one of the best songs of all time with Hyper ballad while Homogenic is one of the most influential albums of the 90s. There is plenty of mediocre slop (including this album tbh) on the list that I'd happily remove in favour of one of those two.

The problem with Morrissey (aside from the fact that he is a twat) is that he is a great lyricist but he needs a musical genius like Johnny Marr beside him. That is what ultimately made the Smiths work. Some musicians need that collaborative friction to bring out the best in them, and the Smiths are a prime example (alongside the Beatles and Pink Floyd)

LCD Soundsystem is, for me, a weird band. I love all their obvious influences (Talking Heads, New Order, etc.) but yet, outside of a few songs, I don't like LCD. The instrumentation is all there, but I can't connect with it. The problem with this album specifically is that all the songs are way too long and it is missing an obvious highlight like All My Friends. It is not bad per se, but it does feel like a waste of potential.

4/5
This album is genuinely great when it goes into the unhinged showtune cabaret territory, but immediately becomes boring with every 'normal' song. I'll give it 4 stars purely because I do find it interesting, which cannot be said about many other albums on this list

It's a shame that so many "world music" (a stupid name to begin with) albums on this list are clearly watered down versions of the local music ready-made for a Western audience. Like with this album: all the edges are sanded off and replaced by this 90s as fuck production. Africa has so much interesting music and yet on this list we get the commercialised stuff because anything remotely authenticly African is scary for western people.
I don't hate this album, I hate what it represents

We could've had the 2 hour long experimental fusion masterpiece Get Up With It by Miles Davis on the list, but instead we get this drudgery. I like this list overall but for too many artists and genres it values commercial succes over actual artistry

Suffers from being not quite as good as its successor. I like the opening track but the rest of the album never reaches the heights of Sinister

I might've just been in the wrong mood but I found this album really unbearable. The first song is this 5 minute dirge and it completely ruins the rest of the album for me
