I guess I hadn't heard any of these songs for a a reason. The front half felt like standard Queen fare, and the latter half more experimental. I enjoyed the first half more.

I've only heard of Sonic Youth before, don't think I'd every heard their music. I liked the album more than I thought I would after reading a bit about it. Kinda punky and industrial, some of it worked for me and sometimes it didn't. I was a little over it by then end of the album though.

Nina Simone is great! While I did particularly enjoy a few tracks on this album, it didn't blow me away. Still a good listen though.

This felt like a real long listen, even it is two albums. I mostly enjoyed the tracks, though there were a few especially in the latter half I just didn't vibe with. Though you gotta give respect to the all time classics "Hey Ya" and "Roses." Good album though I wish it was a bit more concise.

Wow, wasn't expecting to enjoy this album this as much as I did. Haven't really heard much of the Kinks, but they sound like a more punk Beatles. Thought the concept album was cool, based on a working class life in post war England. Gonna have to listen to more of The Kinks. 4.5/5

Got a few bangers on this one, the rest I could take or leave.

Glad I gave this one a chance, I didn't really jive with the first song but ended up enjoying this album a lot! Baaba Maal's got some pipes!

A melancholic indie feel. Seems a bit basic by todays standards but I can see how this was ahead of it's time. Especially reading that Smith came from Portland in the 90s where the grunge scene was happening.

Pretty good, beatles-esque but longer form songs with more soul and blues influence. I liked it fine but nothing jumped out at me.

Never listened to more than one consecutive Bob Dylan song before. His voice is sometimes pretty goofy haha, but I enjoyed the listen. 3.5/5

I really grooved to this! Not something I'd listen to every day but it was a lot of fun. Also cool reading and learning about Fats Domino.

Pretty solid debut album, though I wanted to like it more than I did. 3.25/5

Wasn't really jiving with it until End of the World came on. Most the songs were still not really my cup of tea, but easy to see how REM were so influential.

The back half of this album comes in strong! Jamming, Three little birds, and One Love. All time album 4.5/5

Did not vibe to this album at all, though the first track got my hopes up that it'd be a ska/reggae album haha. Not a horrible listen, just really not my thing. 2/5

Solid album. Clint Eastwood, Sound Check (Gravity), and Latin Simone are my faves. I do think I like Plastic Beach better than this album though. 4/5

Great ablum! Never really listened to much Bowie before, only really know Space Oddity. I thoroughly enjoyed this album, but it didn't blow me away like I hoped it would after reading about it. Starman slaps. I know a lot of people love this album to death, but being true to myself I give it a 4/5. Very possible that I'll enjoy it more on a second or third listen.

Enjoyable acoustic jams. I liked when Cat would up the intensity and wished he did it more. 4/5
