Music to soothe the savage beast (my overactive mind). "Station to Station" is great, "Golden Years" is obviously a classic, fun bass line in "Stay." My overall favorite was "TCV15" with its 12-bar blues composition.

Iconic. Easy to draw a line straight to Outkast, and a bunch of other artists have sampled from this album. Clear influences from Black church scene.

Starts hella strong, but feels like it loses some momentum around "Ventilator Blues." Some huge singles. Definitely see the transition from the sound of the 60s to the 70s as the album goes on.

Legendary tracks, iconic samples, immaculate vibes.

Very of-its-time early 2000s. Reminiscent of Ben Folds but not as interesting, the Shins but not as quirky, Jack Johnson but not as rich. I don't actively dislike it, but it's not what I'd choose to listen to. "Son of Sam" is the best track. "Pretty Mary Kay" wouldn't sound out of place on a Beatles album.

"St. Stephen" was okay. "Dark Star" and "Turn on Your Love Light" were interminable, and I *like* jam and prog. The Dead have just never clicked for me.

Love the 12-bar blues open on "Green Onions," almost positive The Doors sampled it as well. "Mo' Onions" also great, and the vibes of "Stranger on the Shore" really do it for me.

I know this one backwards, forwards, and inside out. One of the best of all time.

Trippy, experimental, chaotic. I don't think I'd ever actually have enjoyed this album, but I might have appreciated it more had I been familiar with the band and their oeuvre. Going in blind, though, I wanted to turn it off halfway into the first track.

There isn't a single skippable track on this album. Love it.

A few high points, like "The Fear" and the harmonica on "Luv." Pretty chill and inoffensive, reminds me of a moderately less-interesting Jump, Little Children.

Ehh, it's fine but not really for me. I bet Alanis Morissette listened to a lot of Patti Smith.

I probably need a few more spins to get a feel for most of the tracks beyond "YCCMA" and "Graceland." Still, a classic for those two alone.

Banger after banger after banger, washing over my brain like a cool breeze on a hot day.

"Soul and Fire" was nice, and I liked "Homemade" and "Bouquet for a Siren". The rest was discordant and not all that enjoyable, kind of an odd grunge/shoegaze crossover.

Really liked "No Feelings" and obviously the hits are massive.

Another album that I wish I'd known what to expect coming in. It seems like 6-10 playthroughs is needed to truly appreciate or enjoy this. I doubt I'll ever do that but I understand why it was so influential. Individual tracks I liked on first listen: "Ella Guru," "Hair Pie: Bake 1," "Moonlight on Vermont," "China Pig." Maybe a few others, I didn't catch all of them.

10/10 classic. Essential inclusion on this list.

I've never even heard of this group, let alone heard anything from them, and now I'm wondering how I missed out on them. This tickles my brain so nicely. "Cherry-coloured Funk," "Iceblink Luck," and "I Wear Your Ring" are particular favorites.

"Experimental rock" is apparently code for a bunch of aimless noodling and mismatched, dysrhythmic parts shoved together. I really try to look for some musical value in everything I listen to, but I couldn't find any here. This is just disjointed noise.

Massive hits, a few underrated gems, overall just a great listening experience.

Couple big radio hits, important album in Yes's discog.

One of the GOATs.

Not available for streaming :(

I think this probably makes sense in the context of its time. A few likable moments, but not really something I'd listen to for enjoyment.

I love Mingus, but this is a challenging listen.

Banger after banger after timeless classic. Magnum opus and one of the best albums ever made.

Not really my style, but I can see how people like it and why it was innovative at the time.

No longer available on streaming

ICONIC.

ICONIC. 10/10, no skips. Gonna send me down a ZZ Top rabbit hole today.

Good overall, she clearly hadn't hit her prime yet but it's a fun album.

Funky, great guitars, definitely a little weird and out there.

Really nice easy listen. Great morning vibes.

It's experimental, alright.

For me, some high notes and some low notes. Big fan of the bluesy, Big Easy feel. Probably an album I won't revisit much, if at all.
