Aladdin Sane
David Bowie
I love the dissonance in the piano. The album is a great mix of avant-garde elements and blues rock. No single track is boring, all the songs are easy to listen to. The album art doesn't evoke the sounds of the album, and that dissonance between the art and the sounds works well with dissonance between the various elements of songs.

Thriller
Michael Jackson
Quintessential album of 80s dance pop. It has most of the well known Michael Jackson songs on it. Iconic when in person, fun at parties. I don't think it works as an album for listening through. None of the songs are particularly interesting to focus on, but when doing other things, it can be fun to have on.

To Pimp A Butterfly
Kendrick Lamar
Phenomenal Album. This is an album that you have to listen to, not just put on in the background. Kendrick uses a lot of complexity in what he does to express himself and it is an enjoyable endeavor start to end.

Come Away With Me
Norah Jones
The album is easy to listen to. Norah Jones's voice is awesome and sweet. But the whole album is very one note. There are different styles of songs, but they are all played in the soft crooner style song at a similar tempo resulting in an album with a few shining stars in a miasma of sameness. I enjoy the songs, but other than the ones that are popular enough to get radio/advertisement play, the album is just meh. I couldn't finish the album.

This albums was short and great. Although the sounds were very cohesive over the whole album, the energy and the complexity made it a fun listening experience. I was a little shocked when it ended however and would have liked more.

1999
Prince
This is my favorite album I've listened to so far. It's absolutely the feel of the 80s and dance and weirdness. It's like LCD Soundsystem but 2 decades earlier. A very interesting listen.

This album is fun. It was really easy to listen to while doing something else. I've always enjoyed Garbage as a band, but have never taken the time to listen to an album all the way through. Similar to Aladdin Sane in a dissonance of styles, but this is more cohesive. Definitely not an album to sit and listen to, but enjoyable none the less.

I used to listen to this album on CD in my walkman. I don't think there is a weak song on the album. I get by with a little help from my friends pops up in my head all the time. I love the instrumental exploration of the album.

This album is an interesting easy listen. It's great for paying attention to and for letting it ride in the background while you focus on other things. Great vibes for getting shit done.

This is an album that should just grab me, but it doesn't as much as others. I love Al Green, but I struggled to listen to this through.

A thoroughly enjoyable album that sounds so much like the 80s. It is a step down from the previous albums I've listened to. But I do really enjoy Peter Gabriel.

Want One
Rufus Wainwright
This is like Michael Bublé meets David Bowie. Although kinda monotone across the album. The lyrics and music composition make the album more interesting than Come Away with Me by Nora Jones, which tonally is the most similar album from this list that I've listened to so far.

This album was just simply wonderful. I love Miriam's voice. This, again, isn't the type of music I normally seek out, but just had a blast listening to it while cooking.

The pixies are one of my favorite bands, and while surfer Rosa is a great album, I find it to be the least interesting up to trompe le monde.

I struggled to listen to this. Not because it isn't great, but because I wasn't in a great head space. I recognize the amazing musical talent, but will have to revisit this later.

This is a moody album that just kinda drones on. It's good atmospheric music, but the vocals lack the early XTC that I enjoy and sound too Paul McCartney-esque.

Dirt
Alice In Chains
Alice in Chains is a band that I never seek out, but do enjoy listening to. They remind me of Rob Zombie, but they aren't as.... Horror focused. Like the album has horror themes and motifs in the music, but lacks the super natural. It's really good. I just don't know if it is for me. I can see where Godsmack got their influence from.
