American Gothic remains one of those great albums that never found its audience.
This is still true

Nirvana
4/5
It has some really great moments. There is a reason that some of the songs were never hits though
Rage Against The Machine
1/5
I really hate this one. I'm trying to listen to the end but it's painful.
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Air
3/5
Never heard of these guys. Found it interesting and listened a few times. It had a decent ambient quality to it
Lorde
4/5
This one surprised me a little. I liked it more than I thought I would. There was some cool musical moments.
Scott Walker
2/5
Wikipedia says the release of this failed to chart. I'm not surprised. There were a lot of great albums from that year. This was not one of them. Why is it in this list?
Duran Duran
3/5
Back when this came out, I avoided it. I was annoyed by all the girls that were into them. The songs that were hits are decent. The others are just ok
Steely Dan
3/5
Good musicians but I can only listen for a limited time
Blood, Sweat & Tears
3/5
It was ok. Definitely outdated
The White Stripes

Musical Melatonin. I could not keep my eyes open

I'm not an angry adolescent anymore. Not sure I would have even gotten into this back then.

3/5
Not really a fan of the breathy female vocal style
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Stevie is great! Sounds even better in headphones

Definitely not one that would have been on my radar. I liked it though
Elliott Smith
3/5
Just ok
The War On Drugs
3/5
Fine for background music

Probably their best album but I can only listen to them for a little while before I need something different
Elbow
2/5
I listened to it yesterday and it was unmemorable
Television
3/5
I've been aware of this album for a long time but never listened to it. It had a very familiar sound to it since so many bands I love were influenced by this.
Nirvana
3/5
Some great songs and some that were grating
Michael Kiwanuka
