Fairport Convention
What a revelation! I don't think I'd ever heard FC before (maybe vaguely familiar?) and certainly wasn't too excited when I saw the album cover. Ah... now I see the band photo bombing in the background. But man! What a lush, hauntingly beautiful album. I've listened to it 4 times straight through while working today. A perfect example of why I wanted to take this 1001 albums challenge on. Of course I had to go down the rabbit hole of the history of the band, which is rather tragic to say the least. Anyway, a great change of pace from my usual diet of metal and punk.
4.5/5 rounded up to 5.

Michael Jackson
If you were a child in the early 80s, this album is part of your DNA. I probably haven't listened to it all the way through in 40 years though. Well-crafted pop. It's fun. I can't deny it.

Sufjan Stevens
This is, in fact, one album I did not need to hear before I die.

Tracy Chapman
When I was in high school I had a punk rock friend who had a leather jacket with "TRACY CHAPMAN IS THE ANTICHRIST!" scrawled across the back. I don't know if he thought that was a good or bad thing. Anyway, Tracy is alright with me.

George Harrison
Harrison is probably my favorite Beatle honestly. But this album is waaaaaay too goddamn long. It's as if all of George's pent up frustration with the Beatles stifling his creativity just exploded all over the studio and he couldn't bear to dispense with at least a dozen or so mediocre (at best) songs on this triple album to have one cohesive and interesting record. The quiet Beatle my ass!
