Christine and the Queens
2/5
With the sound of a decaffeinated version of Michael Jackson, Chris is the kind of record you would expect to hear at a clothing store. There's nothing wrong with that in principle, sure, but there's a certain lack of edge and risk to the whole thing that makes it fall into that "music that is for everyone, yet for no one" category.

David Byrne shows he's better at music when he shuts the fuck up. A bit too long for it's own good, which is understandable for an ambient album, still makes it boring at times.

David Bowie
2/5
I love David Bowie. I really do. And hell do I love glazing my idols' obscure and experimental work. But hell nah. I feel like this record gets way more praise than it deserves because of the guy who made it and what happened to him a couple days after releasing it. The experimentation doesn't sit right with me. The vocals are awkward (even when used to Bowie's unusual singing in other projects), and the songwriting that we see in Bowie's other records is just not there.

1/5
It's sad that given all the great albums that have been left out this list, in and outside the hip-hop genre, they decided to put this generic and immature rap album, but okay

5/5
One day, a pretentious edgy wannabe wrote a whole fucking story about him not liking an album. He was wrong, though, as this record is fucking amazing, and so is a good chunk of the rest of the band's discography.
