Bayou Country
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Starts off strong and immediately drops off a cliff. Can tell which songs the band likes to play and which were written for the audience. I've heard better versions of Proud Mary *cringe*. Overall inoffensive but I'm not going back to it.

The Visitors
ABBA
It's all perfectly fine maximalist pop, but it's also boring. The longer it goes the more boring it is. Turns out the hit song on this album is the one that tried my patience the most.

Sheer Heart Attack
Queen
Starting a record with a bit of self-indulgent noodling on the guitar is certainly a choice. Queen really wrote hit songs, and then a bunch of unremarkable junk. They're only not a one-hit wonder because they were so prolific. She Makes Me was my favorite.

R.E.M.
I thought R.E.M. was a later '80s-'90s band. Seems ahead of its time in '83. Super influential sound. A transition from the pop of the 70s to the grunge of the 80s.
