This album was really dull at first, but then it really picked up at the end. Turns out it had already finished and Spotify was just playing me other stuff. So, yawn

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying by Megadeth

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers

Untitled (Black Is) by SAULT

3.5

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren

I really wasn't in a mood for yacht rock so didn't give this one a fair shake, only got a few songs in. I'll give it another try if I ever go back through all these a second time

Sea Change by Beck

I like weird-beck more than sad-beck but it's still a great album

Cut by The Slits

More Specials by The Specials

Parachutes by Coldplay

I don't get it, I thought I hated Coldplay

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Pleasant and massively impressive a capella album. I confess to involuntarily feeling like I was constantly waiting for the songs to start so can't rate higher than a 3, but that does sound like a me-problem

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris

Face to Face by The Kinks

A comfortable 4/5 for the album for me. Sunny Afternoon is a 10

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel

Honky Tonk Masquerade by Joe Ely

No, no I don't think so. Thanks anyway

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3 but could go up on relisten

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers

Be by Common

Solid album. Probably a 3.5 for me, but rating up because there's a crackup review from someone who gave this a 1 because he's a a STEM guy PHD student who "doesn't get rap" and I'm doing my part to bring balance to this world

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention

Interesting and experimental, but obnoxious and grating in that it feels like I'm getting harrassed by minions for 40 minutes so it all ends up being pretty unlistenable to me, sorry

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian

Savane by Ali Farka Touré

Like Water For Chocolate by Common

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles

Pretty good

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

A classic, and a personal favourite - but on reevaluation I did find it more pleasant to listen to a mono version, oddly. The vocals especially have a weird channel distribution at times that I wasn't really digging

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor by Lupe Fiasco

Yes there is such a thing as too much intro

Forever Changes by Love

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders

Couple of bangers, Novocaine is still great. But I do not want to go to Susan's house.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey

Django Django by Django Django

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon

It's a 3.5 but rounding up because I'm in a good mood. I genuinely do prefer KOL raw and unintelligible

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

It's a solid album. But I've seen Chungking Express, so I've already hit my lifetime quote for California Dreamin'

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt

I cannot

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

Politically charged, but not subtle. Way too on the nose. For some reason this album reminds me of Banksy. Go figure

I can't really figure out why you'd want to include this in such a list. It's pretty aggressively fine, couple of hits aside. Bargain bin Coldplay (I don't actually know who came first, not looking it up)
