Sufjan Stevens
4/5
Informed and interesting. Wide array of sounds and made me want to focus on the music. 4/5
John Grant
4/5
Good listening. Almost folk-like and funny. Catchy without any one major standout. 4/5
The xx
2/5
The intro is totally iconic but the rest of the album seems to fall behind. Base was interesting on a couple songs but overall just not that impactful. Easy listening but not memorable. 2/5
The Prodigy
3/5
Reminds me of a 90s indie movie chase scene. Actually really good album to run to. Consistently engaging but potentially one-note. 3/5
New Order
3/5
English rock, surprisingly the best song had no words. 3/5 wasn’t sure how to place it but it warrants another look down the line
King Crimson
3/5
I liked their main song "In the Court of the Crimson King". It was a kind of calming album for the most part. I was able to get into the "world" of the album. 3/5
Thundercat
4/5
I got into this album! Very funny and good vibes. 4/5
Janet Jackson
3/5
Lots of inspiration for other albums, but I have yet to discover what made it innovative. To me it was 80s processed overload and hubristic. Talking about world problems and all… idk 3/5
Rush
4/5
Engaging, energizing, and interesting 4/5
Shack
2/5
Good listening but I don't really know where to place the album. Nothing really stands out and it doesn't have a lot of vigor. 2/5
The 13th Floor Elevators
2/5
They use the same effect in EVERY song. I get it’s novel for the time but every song sounds the same. Very 60s psychedelic tho 2/5
The Byrds
3/5
Reasonably engaging but didn't really lead me to wanting to find out more. 3/5
4/5
Unlike some other of the 60s albums, I was able to get into this one. I could listen to the lyrics and I felt that it was effective. 4/5
R.E.M.
3/5
Solid Album, though it is funny when I can't tell that the album ended and some completely different band is playing.
2/5

3/5

3/5
Classic Beatles album. Some good keepers. Nice listen

4/5
This album has some keepers! The production is amazing. Almost like City Pop echoes

4/5
Amazing album. Deeply personal and classic of rap
Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5
Have yet to identify a single freaking song on this album. It’s experimental and seems ahead of its time but it’s not enjoyable at all

I now know why Cindi was so unique and such a powerhouse. Quite an eclectic work but iconic
Aretha Franklin
3/5
Several lovely songs from an icon!

Aphex Twin
5/5
Genesis of modern house music and overall an excellent collection that can be thrown on for a multitude of circumstances.
Afrika Bambaataa
3/5
Early rap and undoubtedly integral to the movements roots. Lots of fun songs but none I could see making into my permanent collections
Pretenders
3/5
I liked the song without words best. Good beats but quirky 80s style lyrics. Very consistent
James Brown
3/5
You can hear the excitement of the audience. Brown is so dynamic and soulful. Must’ve been great to hear in person
Dirty Projectors
3/5
Bjork-esque in lyrical oddness. Good background music but equally funky. Some good tunes but incoherent
Pixies
3/5
Great beats and grungy tone. Kept 1 song
Björk
4/5
Just what I needed. Bjork is a dream
