Rio
Duran Duran
My first album for this long journey. It's a well produced album but not necessarily something I would listen to regularly unless I was in a very specific headspace. I'm not even sure that may ever occur. Still, there could have been worse albums to start with.

A solid listen and moodier than I expected based on the single.

I was expecting a straight forward folk album but this blew my expectations away. A really enjoyable listen.

A shoegaze classic with which I am well familiar. Let the soft, fuzzy guitars wash over you.

Fleetwood Mac
I liked it. It has a nice consistent groove and Nicks' vocals are so soothing. I only listened once but I have a feeling I will come back to this one again real soon. 3.5

Janelle Monáe
I was only familiar with her acting but this album has some nice grooves. Top half of the album is certified.
I was excited to see the of Montreal collab but it's unfortunately disappointing. It's all Kevin Barnes and no Janelle Monae.

Bjorks always had me confused. Do I like her music? Do I not? I never know. This album unfortunately does not clear up any confusion. Still respect her game though.

Clean production and a very big sound that's meant to envelope you in the music.

Lightning Bolt
I had literally never heard of this band before. The album cover didn't give me any idea of what to expect. After about the 3rd track I realized this is mostly an instrumental album and that's when I really came on board with this album.
This is why I love this project. Some wild albums I never would have known to listen to otherwise.

There's nothing wrong with this album I just think that Costello is not for me.

Back In Black
AC/DC
This is a good album no doubt. However this kind of classic rock is fun to listen to in short doses. So a full album of AC/DC is too much for me.

I'm sure this was cool at the time. There are some groovy guitar and bass lines. Really liked the last song.

Alexander 'Skip' Spence
At the core, this is a basic, uninspiring musical album. But knowing this album was made following his release from an inpatient mental hospital stay made me want to explore it further. Context shouldn't really matter but this time it does. That probably explains the album's inclusion on this list

It felt like FF stormed onto the scene with Take Me Out. It's such a banger and the rest of the album shouldn't be overlooked either. If you like Take Me Out then you will surely enjoy this album. Great debut for the Scottish lads

What's Going On
Marvin Gaye
It seems like so often when "What's Going On" is used in movies it's some light-hearted, loving sort of scene. I've been lied to this whole time. This is a Vietnam war protest album. Oh damn this album got very religious

Any sort of techno album is always going to rank low on my list. I can't tolerate a whole album of it, no matter how well the record fits the genre.

Even setting aside what this record, and the band, did for punk rock, this is a solid punk album in the year 2025.

Based on album art alone this is going to be powerful. Great music, wonderful voice, painful lyrics.
