I kind of went back and forth between a 1 and a 2 because it's objectively not *that* bad and has some genuinely good moments. But ultimately for me, it's just so stressful and unfun to listen to.

If that annoying sea shanty trend from 2020 was a whole album. A few songs I was okay with but overall just found this very irritating and I kind of hated it.

Like, 3.5. Pretty good. Will probably give it another listen later on.
Daft Punk
3/5
Not my favorite Daft Punk, but pretty good. Everything kind of sounds like this now but I imagine that wasn't the case back when this came out.

Not the biggest fan of folk music, but it was pretty good. It deserves another listen when I'm not working, though overcoming my allergic reaction to lyrics is hard.
The Doors
3/5
Jeff Buckley
4/5
Liked this way more than expected, and the production quality was very good.
The Teardrop Explodes

Not my personal favorite, but there are some incredible soundscapes here.
The Libertines
2/5
Little Richard
3/5
Tough to rate objectively when so many of the songs are just zeitgeist now but gotta pick something, right?
Fiona Apple
3/5
Will need to re-listen to this one sometime.
The Notorious B.I.G.
2/5
Some cool bits. Some eh bits. Probably not my jam ultimately.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Ramones
3/5
Simple, pretty fun. Ballroom Blitz is overplayed to death but it's still fun.
Quicksilver Messenger Service
2/5
Some amazing moments, but kind of buried in there.
Deerhunter
4/5
More like 3.5-3.75 but I'll round up.
Adele
3/5
I honestly do like the singles off this album a good bit, but the other songs are all much more minimal in terms of instrumentation and I don't think the songwriting is interesting enough to support that. Great voice though.
2.5/5 but I usually round up because I'm just that kind of person.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Charles Mingus

Eels

Parliament

PJ Harvey

Michael Jackson
3/5
Not bad actually. Pretty good. Maybe like 3.5ish.
The Damned
3/5
This was okay but pretty forgettable to me. I'll round up.
Nick Drake
2/5
Hugh Masekela
4/5
Really good! Loved the trumpet on this which makes sense because the artist is the trumpeter.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
5/5
Best cool jazz album ever? Maybe!
Taylor Swift
2/5
Somewhere between 2 and 3, but I forgot what yesterday's album even was for a few minutes which seems about right.
Leonard Cohen

Songs of Love? No, Hate!
Queen

Beck
4/5
3/5
I enjoyed the first few tracks and then I spaced and then it was over. I probably owe it another listen but I guess it didn't super grab me. Not bad by any stretch though.

I guess I like Nirvana a lot more than I used to.
Billy Joel

Lou Reed

Very pleasantly surprised. Occasionally sounded like Yes or ELO. I guess that'll show me for ignoring bands just because I don't like their name.

Enjoyed this a good deal more than expected. That's nice.
Gene Clark

Jerry Lee Lewis
4/5
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
I would like to listen to it again but I enjoyed it quite a bit.
The Velvet Underground
3/5
The brilliance of this album always seems to be lost in the chaos for me, but I'm always impressed that it's from 1967.
Barry Adamson
3/5
I don't think I need to listen to it again any time soon, but it was pretty good.
Prince
3/5
Not bad, not super my thing. I'm sure Prince has stronger albums.
Janis Joplin
4/5
Prince
4/5
Now That's What I Call Prince!
The Icarus Line
4/5
Enjoyed much more than expected for mid-2000s. This is more like a high 3-low 4 but still. Pretty cool.
Brian Wilson
4/5
Pretty cool. Would have been wild to have gotten this when it was originally intended. It's a lot but it's good.
Metallica
4/5
Not a huge fan of live albums. Pretty long to listen to when I'm not...there. But this was a really good one.
Marvin Gaye

Jack White

More interesting and dynamic than White Stripes but also somehow a little forgettable? Probably deserves another listen sometime.
The Cure
4/5
I'm a big fan of short. It lets me listen to your album multiple times which helps it grow on me. Which this one did actually. Probably not a big The Cure fan overall but I wound up liking this more than I thought I would. A Forest sounds like a Porcupine Tree song.
George Harrison
5/5
Depeche Mode

Neneh Cherry
3/5
Not bad. A little long for what it is. Wouldn't put it on myself, wouldn't turn it off if it came on. Buffalo Stance does kinda slap.

Almost the platonic ideal of a 3 star album to me, although I was really feeling it yesterday for whatever reason. Ended up vibing and running a radio station off of it after which is rare. I don't know what that means to me but it was more enjoyable than most 3 stars. 3+.

Boy lots of highs and lows on this one. I guess it rounds out to a 3 at the end of the day. Some specific songs might be a 5 and some might be a 1. Or even sections of songs.

Yes Freebird is one of the most overplayed songs of all time but it's still a banger.

Not quite as good as In a Silent Way for me. Overall I would rather listen to that one. But man when this one cooks, it *coooooooks*.

Ghost Rider was very cool and what I was kind of wanting out of "synth-punk" but the others not quite as appealing.

I guess they really were England's newest hit-makers.

Bit of a slow start but really did get rolling for me. Also goes pretty hard thematically/lyrically.

Leonard Cohen

Well. We had one I hated (Songs of Love and Hate), one I actually really liked (You Want it Darker) and now we have one I think is okay. I guess that's something.
Kate Bush

A favorite of a bunch of artists I love. But it never gels for me. Maybe you had to be there? Or maybe it'll gel someday. I do love the thicc 80s drums though.

Haven't listened to this one since college and it's still some very solid power pop.

I started off kinda disliking it and by the end it actually won me over quite a bit. Maybe more listens = more good in the future?
Todd Rundgren

Todd, you're an odd fellow, but you something something really good. Breathless especially, very cool track.

Robert Wyatt
3/5
3 for different reason than usual. Just unsure how I feel about it even after 2 listens. Need some more time with it. A little King Crimson, a lotta Genesis, but Genesis is not my personal favorite prog/art rock band. I'll go back to this one another day.

Not bad but not quite my favorite. I then learned about the same artist's other album, Afro Temple, which was much more my speed. Recommended if you liked some elements of Palo Congo but it didn't quite hit.

I can basically see the old people dancing badly in the audience if this was played today.
