Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
4/5
Really liked this one, I was on a real boring streak lately with these albums where I only got trashy metal and emo rock so this was a nice change of pace! Oriental music isn't praised enough in the mainstream scene so this was a nice surprise!

Elton John
3/5
Maybe I've been a bit spoiled by Candle In The Wind since it was my frist album from Elton. It's not bad, but it didn't really strike me as anything that amazing
Green Day
4/5
Yeah, I can relate a lot the the lyrics, still.
Jefferson Airplane
4/5
Good, wasn't expecting much due to the age but Somebody To Love and Comin' Back To Me were really standout tracks
3/5
Very passionate lyrics and vocals, a must listen if you're a fan of indie rock or if you've ever felt aimless in your heart, though I do feel like it's a bit too long and samey for my liking, it definitely peaks in the early tracks.
N.W.A.

FUCK DA POLICE COMIN STRAIGHT FROM THE UNDERGROUND!!!
The Kinks
3/5
Beastie Boys
2/5
First dude out of this book, loud, annoying, super basic instrumentals coupled with super basic lyrics, any other rapper after beastie boys does it better
Silver Jews
3/5
I remember me is a great track, but aside from that I don't think anything else stuck out. Maybe I'm not a big fan of country? I was in a sappy mood and even then I couldn't relate that much to it.
Michael Jackson
4/5
Iconic as fuck, What even else is there to say about it? It's Bad by Michael Fucking Jackson. You should know the best hits even if you weren't doing this album marathon.
The Young Rascals

Elvis Presley
4/5
Rockabilly is kinda fun, actually. Had only heard about Elvis from his name alone, but now that I sat down to listen to some of his hits, he really is all that. Tutti Frutti, Blue Suede Shoes and maybe I'll Never Let You Go being the highlights.
Turbonegro

Doesn't really stand out in anything in particular and thusly wears out it's welcome pretty fast, just your run of the mill 90's buttrock album.

One of the few albums I've heard fully before reading this book. It's as mid as I remember, surprised to see it here, honestly. Then again it's Taylor Swift so as mid as she is it's hard to deny the influence and broad appeal

I've heard the name Robbie Williams a few times in tabloids during my life and I always thought he was one of those corny celebrities known by shallow people who never really had that much talent to show to the world but had enough money to back it up.
After listening to one of his albums it's good to know that I was mostly correct

Fantano was lowkey right on his scoring. This album's quality drops off a cliff after All Of The Light and it doesnt really bounce back despite trying on some tracks.
Given how Ye's obssession with porn and delusions of grandeurs have gotten worse, it almos feels like he was foreshadowing his own current demise, but if anything, it doesn't make the album any better, moreso it servers as merely the cutting off point from his peak to his fall from grace. Important record, but nevertheless inconsistent.
