Radiohead
There's talent behind it somewhere, but the end result comes off as uninspired, pseudo-intellectual, and instantly forgettable. Pyramid Song is one of the more listenable tracks, but even then the stair stepping major chords are simple and repetitive while the unusual rhythm just feels contrived.

Did Jim Morrison come back to life for a day just to channel a bootleg Smiths premonition in his garage? I found neither joy nor pleasures on this ruthlessly depressing album.

Solid tracks throughout, but this one would be worth it just for the full minute version of Papa Was a Rollin' Stone with all that crunchy Wurlitzer that was cut out of the single edit.

Listened to the whole thing straight through. 75 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Sure, some of the tracks are less terrible than others, but I completely fail to understand what it's doing on this list.

Stevie Wonder
Stevie rarely fails to impress, but the '72-'76 albums are on another level. This one starts incredibly strong and the songs flow beautifully to the end. Those deriding the non-Superstition tracks as self-indulgent or too fluffy are clearly not musically inclined; there's richness and depth in texture, instrumentation, chord structure, and harmony throughout. Easy 5 all day long.

Cheap Trick
I get it, this is the one that really made them popular. It's significant, sure. I won't ever play it through again though; the recording quality and crowd noise make it a real disappointment overall. There are some reality good songs on here, and I'll gladly revisit them on the studio albums. It's a real shame this is the Cheap Trick album that made the list.

Skill involved? Of course. Are these sounds made by musical instruments? Sure. Is it music? Debatable.
Next time I want to be screamed at in an echo chamber of constant cacophony, I'll just take my kids to the next indoor amusement park birthday party. Easily could've died without hearing this one.

I've never understood the hype for U2, so I hoped maybe listening to this all the way through would be educational at least. It's actually kind of impressive that they managed to make music this bland and soulless. There are albums on this list I actively hated more, sure, but I've rarely felt boredom so intense as in waiting for this one to finally be over.
