3/5

Can’t quite figure this out. I want to like it but I don’t hate it. Just not sure anymore what the requirements are for this list. Why is this considered one of the albums that I should listen to before I die. If you tell me this cutting edge or classic I would call bullshit. If someone asked me if I had ever listened to Nick Cave I can now say yes but don’t ask me details because it truly was forgettable

Buzzcocks

2/5

This album like many others on this list demonstrate why this is such a bad list. Now many English punk rick artist are in this list. Answer way too many. This album only made it 55 on the charts. Why is this even considered as an album that you must listen to before you die?
