I get it. Most will not try to because it is too challenging.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Aug 25 2024

Not my style of music, but the interesting use of human voice as an instrument gets my attention.

Bland choice considering other noteworthy afrobeat albums.

B-52's by The B-52's

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Sep 18 2024

His grating voice does not mesh with the instrumental music whatsoever. Poor emulation of Janis Joplin meets Eric Burden with no soul.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn by Pink Floyd
Oct 10 2024

Epic album. No matter what your opinion of the music, it demands your attention throughout.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Oct 20 2024

The 80's polish removed the best characteristics of ZZ Top's gritty early sound.

Low by David Bowie
Oct 22 2024
Survivor by Destiny's Child

Throwaway pop music.

Bad by Michael Jackson

Nov 12 2024

This album stole my mind and soul. I could feel the rhythm in my hands.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon

Worst selection I've seen so far (400+).

Purple Rain by Prince
Nov 30 2024

Would be 5 stars if Erotic City was not excluded.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Dec 01 2024

Snoozer

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Apr 04 2025

One of the worst on this list so far - Have listened to 556. "No Angel" falsetto parts are especially grating.
