This is more my style. I love California punk rock. These are great punk rock songs under 2 minutes

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

I don’t know if I like Radiohead or I’m supposed to like Radiohead. I definitely like Radiohead’s earlier music but this album has some good songs.

Technique

New Order

3/5

Just okay for me.

Caetano Veloso

I experimented a lot of his catalog. Interesting but not anything I would listen to regularly.

If it was possible to wear out a CD in the 90’s, I probably would have with this one.

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

In my book, one of the top 10 greatest debut albums of all time.

It’s a rock version of Björk, for better or worse.
