Joan Baez · 1 likes
5/5
One of the two greatest folk singers of all time to come out of the 60's and still be going. An artist I listen to all the time and a magnificent introductory album.

It was absolutely awful and I am not sure how this album could make any list.
Frank Ocean · 1 likes
2/5
I have listened to this album many times and I cannot say that I fully get it. It has made multiple top 100 album lists and has received rave reviews but the music of Frank Ocean eludes me. I find it rather droll and not very melodious and it has never been my go to. Pyramid stays in my mind as it is a tragic song about the unsexy side of stripping and the desperate measures someone will go through to put food on the table. Sierra Leonne also works but the rest of the album just drags on.
Beatles · 1 likes
5/5
This album is a must for this list. It is the start of what becomes a very varied style across albums for the Beatles and contains the song Michelle, one of the most beautiful love songs ever written, as well as Norwegian Wood, a titillating ballad that set the Paul Anca fans off the rails. An amazing album that I continue to frequently listen to.

3/5
Loved this album in the 90's but it has not fully held up. Still enjoyable but not a masterpiece.
