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.

Lorde
Pretty solid example of how pop music has become increasingly overproduced and electronic to the point of sterilization. The only trace of human emotion lies in the vocals, and credit where it's due, "Melodrama" is indeed a fitting title.

Waylon Jennings
This was a welcome reminder that when I say "I hate country music," what I actually mean is that I despise what commercialism did to country music. Starts strong and never drags. This kind of experience is why I'm here; perhaps the list could lose just a small portion of the Morrissey and middle of the road Brit nostalgia in favor of more varied influential albums?
