Kanye West
Motherfucker.
Kanye West is an awful human being but he makes music too good to pass up. HIs debut is magnificent. Everything he made until JIK is magnificent. I hate this man.
The only songs I'd drop from TCD are Never Let Me Down and maybe Get Em High. Besides those two? Untouchable in its icon status.
I wish he'd shut the fuck up.
But thank you for making Family Business.

Ramones
This is way too boring to be so popular, what the hell is going on. Blitzkrieg Bop is a decent opener right up until you realize that's the only song on the album. A 29 minute runtime is a grace from God.
If I was in the 80s and this was the only album I had, I think I'd not give a fuck about music.

The Cars
I went in with pretty low expectations, figuring that Just What I Needed, a song I adore, would be the only real highlight, but to my shock and pleasure this is really fucking good! To begin with, I forgot about Good Times Roll and My Best Friend's Girl, two songs I don't frequently play but still dig a lot. Those, combined with the aforementioned brilliance of JWIN, made for a severely underrated opening three track run. The deeper cuts didn't disappoint either; I'm In Touch With Your World and You're All I've Got Tonight were splendid, and the groove on Moving in Stereo (not a deep cut based on YTM play counts but still one I forget about often) is absolutely amazing. The only track that didn't really click on first listen was Don't Cha Stop, and I wouldn't be surprised if that changed with time.
Very impressive listen. Several classic hitters of the early new wave scene, a song that scratches my favorites list, and a VERY tight runtime make me a very happy camper. I might have to poke around some more of the group's work sometime.

James Brown
Didn't realize James Brown was active so early, for some reason I thought he was mainly in the 70s.
I'd like to say I enjoyed this more than I did; unfortunately, most of this didn't catch me. I hope James has other records that catch my ear more in the future.
