Five Leaves Left
Nick Drake
As a sucker for singer-songwriters, I appreciated the poetic & occasionally narrative songwriting and cottagecore arrangements, but found the vocals to be generic/monotonic.

Probably has cultural/nostalgic impact, but would resonate with my angsty 13 year old self.

Here's Little Richard
Little Richard
Couldn't have said it better than the other reviewer; "It's great. Then it's the same great for the next 6 songs." Likely a groundbreaking album that shifted the direction of music, but it's harder for the layperson to fully appreciate half a century later.

Molly's Chambers and Red Morning Light were ok, but personally not a fan of the dirty lyrics.

The ArchAndroid
Janelle MonΓ‘e
Hands down the best album I heard so far - just catapulted to one of my favorite albums ever! Her voice is amazingly eclectic and diverse, yet her album is somehow cohesively thematic. I need to listen to more Janelle MonΓ‘e!

The Marshall Mathers LP

The first half (until The Real Slim Shady) was great, but stopped listening midway through Kim due to the disturbing content. The rhymes and production's great though.
