Was planning to re-listen to this today anyways and what do you know it pops up here. The lord works in mysterious ways amen

I’ve always been more of a mezzanine freak but this is good too. However if mezzanine is not on this list I will puke.

I almost made it 100 albums without having to give a one star rating, but then here comes Idlewild guns blazing. Or rather guns doing nothing at all. Just no guns.

Blue Suede Shoes is a rockin tune mama. This album makes me realize deep voiced hubba bubba Elvis is all I ever knew.

Better than Nevermind

take me down to the paradise city

Whew a re-listen but knights of Cyndi Lauper is still the beef of the bunch

Re-listen and feel slightly more positive than years ago but still missing some juice

ehhhh there’s good stuff here but a lot of stuff that I’m not really feeling. Evil is even to make it mine is a nice run of tracks tho

Re-listen from over 10 years ago. Idk liked it better then, it’s slightly better than 3 stars but it’s not 4.

I guess this was a re-listen from 8 years ago, but I didn’t remember it at all. Probably won’t remember this time either, but its good enough to have on

Good beats yeah and an album cover that makes you go hmm

Re-listen from 5 years ago. Still a good experience.

Not sure what fx’s deal is but album overall is GOOD

man I thought I’d like this more but a lot of it just isn’t that interesting to me.

Haven’t heard this since high school but it was among the some of the first albums I listened to. Good to revisit

Alright first five I’m going to give on here, CCR has always been a blind spot for me but this album is real good.

okay frank you got me this is a cozy lil album and you say making whoopee which is cool

I thought this would be the kind of thing I’d like, but it turns out actually no

First listen was two years ago and yepppp still f.u.n.

yeah!

First listen was 10 years ago and yeeeaaahhh boiiiii this still rules

Only being familiar with trout mask replica this is not as zany as I expected but it’s still got plenty of beef in it’s heart

I revisited (ahaaa) this album though I was already very familiar with it. Of course it’s a 5.

This was already one of my favorites so yeah obvs it’s getting a 5

First heard this 6 years ago and it’s still not one of my favorite talking heads albums, but I’m always up for listening to it

Ten years since I first heard this, definitely have grown to enjoy it more and probably will continue to

Love fat of the land so I was excited to check this out and am happy to report it’s great

First heard this four years ago and it is still for my pleasure

I’ve heard this album a billion times already. One of my favorites and of course it gets the big F I VE

Can’t believe it’s been five years since I first heard this, its ggggrrreeeaaat

Never heard of these fellas before now but this is pretty fun and varied. Nothing too spectacular but I’d definitely listen again

Big fan of Sonic youth so I’m happy to see this album wind up in this list. And just look at that lil guy on the cover

Still as great as when it came out

Was planning to re-listen to this today anyways and what do you know it pops up here. The lord works in mysterious ways amen

Hadn’t heard this since I first listened five years ago, and yeah the weirdo goth vibes are still immaculate

Feels like I’m listening to the radio played over the intercom at a supermarket which is sometimes decent but is mostly just wallpaper

Already was a favorite of mine. Can rate easily as masterpiece CREAM

I guess this is meant to be the UK version. Shame there’s no Paint it Black and that Goin Home is in the middle (the track is good tho), but you do get Mothers Little Helper and Out of Time which are a lot better than most of what is here. Also Under My Thumb is so good but those lyrics yeesh

A lot to love here like underrated hidden gem bohemian rhapsody and roger’s car, but also a lot that I think is just pretty good. First heard this album in full 10 years ago and still feel about the same

More like the got an earache project!!!! Jk it’s not bad but it isn’t very interesting either

Feelin like dropping the pressure right about now

Already plenty familiar with this album and yeah it’s Sonic youth

Needs a deluxe edition that includes Neil Cicierega’s “What Is It” as a bonus track

Better than night at the opera and this is not a hill I’m willing to die on. I am just not willing to die please don’t argue with me

Never been crazy about the killers and listening to this in full for the first time did not really sway me. Still feel a little nostalgic for the sound though.

Not sure about picking a compilation album for this but whatever the hives are good

First heard this a couple years ago and it’s only gotten better

Big fan of blur as they were one of the first bands I got really into. This is not my favorite of theirs, even though I do still love it, and obviously it’s an important album in their discography as a transition in their sound.

First heard this ten years ago. I loved it then and it’s only grown on me more.

It’s chooglin time

I am not sure what significance this album has that landed it in this list, but I would have probably never heard of it otherwise and it’s quite good, so thanks list.

This album was one of my starting points that really developed my tastes in music. It’s still a favorite of mine (though Kid A is my #1 Radiohead pick) and yeah obvs 5 big fat hunky stars.

I’ve always been more of a mezzanine freak but this is good too. However if mezzanine is not on this list I will puke.

It’s mostly okay, it does have good highlights but someone needed to tell Mr Elvis to trim it down a bit

Ate a chicken sandwich while listening and felt bad

If anything at least now I’m interested in diving into his back catalogue, though this album wasn’t quite doing it for me.

Crazy coincidence that the first time I heard this album was one year ago on this day. So good and so germfree

My opinions were all over the place while listening to this, but ultimately most of the quieter, moodier tracks were my favorites and the rest really wasn’t doing anything for me. Though shout out to bad liquor which felt so insanely out of place but it kind of rules

my soul is slathered

Insulting to elephants but more people should write songs about going to the zoo

These are some HEFTY 90s vibes but I was still not prepared for soda pop

Great album and common people will always be a banger

I almost made it 100 albums without having to give a one star rating, but then here comes Idlewild guns blazing. Or rather guns doing nothing at all. Just no guns.

África Jorge and Brasil Ben, an unstoppable duo

Not as good as Los Angeles but sure this is enjoyable

I think overall I feel positive about Costello’s work, but I’m just not sure I would ever choose to listen to his albums outside of this list.

I won’t be listening to it again, but I admire it for what it is and at the very least it is offering something interesting even if it’s not really for me.

Very important in that nobody can safely say “we’re halfway there” without being hit with the whoooaaaooohhh

Got Third yesterday and now Dummy today. Decided to just go ahead and listen to the second one as well to complete the journey. Spoiler alert they’re all great

Not totally in love with all of it but this is very much my kind of thing

Very big fan of Beck’s work. I remember Guero being the first album of his I heard and one of the first albums in general I really got into. Overall I prefer quite a few of his other albums over this, however it is still really good and I feel definitely belongs on this list.

Went through a very long phase where Amnesiac was my favorite Radiohead album. Though the more time went on I grew to prefer Kid A and OK Computer, but I still believe Amnesiac has some of their strongest material and my favorite song of theirs, Pyramid Song.

I should’ve been listening to Janet Jackson all this time

Here Come the Rome Plows is one of the greatest things ever recorded

My favorite Gainsbourg experience is the video where he gets very emotional by the choir of child Gainsbourg imitators with beards and sunglasses and cigarettes. But this is good too.

I am pretty sure I’d need to devote a lot more time to this album to fully appreciate it, but I just don’t want to do that.

I had not listened to this in over 10 years and I only vaguely remember that I enjoyed it. After relistening I see now that I really should have revisited it sooner.
