You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

For some reason I thought Mr. Cohen was going to, I don't know, maybe sing. Not do 10 spoken word tracks with light music in the background. How anyone thinks this is his best work is beyond me. It is repetitive, and almost any other album of his would have made a better selection for a must listen list.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

Surfer Rosa by Pixies

Play by Moby

Surprisingly less obnoxious than I thought it was going to be. I liked some songs. Only real complaint is the length. Maybe save some of the songs to add in as filler on a later album when you need more songs. Just too much all at once if you are not specifically trying to tell a story through the music.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten

I keep having to say this about albums included on this list. Making random noises with things is not avant garde music making, it is noise. If you can take those random sounds and make them into something that sounds like anything other than random noise then you may have made music. Until then keep it out of my ears.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts by The Adverts

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers

The 15 minute altar call at the end of the album, was a bit jarring after having sung a sing about bashing a woman's head in, chucking her in a river, and then being upset that he wound up in Jail. The rest of the album was ok so 3 stars because I am in a sharing mood.
