Fleetwood Mac
The only knock against this album is that it isn’t Rumours, which is also true of every other album.

Bob Dylan
This was the first Dylan album I ever listened to that wasn’t a best of and it was the thing that finally helped me understand what people saw in him. The music is complicated, the lyrics are intricate and tell such vivid stories, and his voice sounds phenomenal. The only knock against it is that it isn’t quite as good as some of the albums leading up it, which is more just an indication of what an insane hot streak Dylan was on at that point in his career.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Potentially my most controversial opinion about this album is that “Maps” is one of the weaker songs on it. By no means bad, and it’s easy to see why it became a genuinely generational rock album, but for me YYYs strength has always been in their loud and feral energy, their ability to capture the feeling of being young, drunk, horny, and ready to fight the world.

Queen
As much as I like some of their songs individually, I’ve never been that much of a Queen guy, and I tend to find their albums pretty grating. This is no exception.
