I am not the biggest Bob Dylan fan. I do not like how he ends every single phrase on a dissonant note, or barely a note for that matter. Amazing instrumentals, however, and wonderful harmonica playing.

LTJ Bukem
I don't often go out of my way for drum n' bass, but when it finds me, I'm hooked. Highly recommend as a starting point for newbies, and the vocal mix helps as well.
Also, the Spotify link is not the correct album (Logical Progession Level 1). The actual compilation is completely different. Just go find a link on Youtube instead. Copyright issues, I assume.

In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Crimson
It took me years to figure out why I don't enjoy this album, and it finally hit me today: the drummer sucks. Granted, when you make a drummer sit through 12 minute tracks, he's bound to get bored and start playing some stupid shit. Every fill he plays is somehow worse than the last, none of them serving the music or making sense stylistically. My favorite tracks are the ones where he does not play or is not featured. Also, please adjust the mic for the snare or tell him to tune it. It sounds like a wet fish being slapped against a table.
If they got a different drummer for this album, I'd give it another shot. Everything on top of the drums is entertaining and sometimes enjoyable, but hard to truly appreciate when I am constantly being distracted every four bars.

Harvest
Neil Young
It's good, but just has some strange decisions. Why did you bring in a symphony for two tracks? Why did you throw in one live track and not either cut or fade out the clapping? Hard to listen to as a collective album, but not bad as individual songs. I'm sure my rating on this album will improve as I listen to the six other Neil Young albums on this baffling list.

One of the best albums ever recorded. Mixed and compound meter aside, everyone on here plays like they live in 5 and 7. Beautiful playing from Desmond, Morello's fills and drum solos are to die for, and Brubeck knows exactly what works and when. A master class of jazz, song composition, soloing, all of the above.
