Essential Goth music for any spooky fall season.

Funky little blues album. I can imagine being a kid in my parents living room, shag carpet and worn couch, with one smoking a Parliament and the other drinking a scotch, dancing in the fading sunlight of a Saturday afternoon while this vinyl spun on the record player (not that this ever happened, but I can imagine the scene)

Sonically it's not bad, but lyrically it's pretty gross.

Favorite tracks: Killer Queen, Flick of the Wrist, In the Lap of the Gods ...Revisited

The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is cooking by the end, but this one comes out swinging. Hot and fresh. Feels like a Fallout soundtrack.

The highs were high but the lows were low. Highs: The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn, Sally MacLennae, and Billy's Bones.

Very Portland, very 90s, a very appropriate fall soundtrack actually. I liked this one more than I thought I would.

I knew going in the Beach Boys really wasn't for me, and this just confirmed that for me 👍🏻

Can't hate on a classic (well, I can, but not this one). This album was everywhere during my youth - cool older cousins, art teachers, even my damn parents liked the Beastie Boys. Still holds up today. Some real gems on this one.

I don't think it's possible to hate Rush. Even if it's not your thing, it's still good.

Classic PFunk album. Some real bangers, bookended by some fun experimental tracks.

Pretty bland Britpop album. The concept aspect was pretty much lost on me. Not bad, but probably wouldn't reach for this one again. Best tracks: That's Really Super, Supergirl, Earn Enough For Us. Dear God was kinda catchy too.

The first half of this album slaps, the second half less so.

Mid country pop album. I can see the appeal but not for me.

Great background music, terrible active listening.

Probably not as bad as I think but unfortunately reminds me too much of my ex. 👎🏻

Great vocalist for the era. Best tracks: Son of a Preacher Man, Windmills of Your Mind

I ended up liking this one more than I thought I would. I can definitely hear the influence he's had on some of the artists I love now (Muse came to mind).

A 20 minute opening track is definitely a choice, but hey, it's still Rush.

Another I ended up liking more than I thought I would, but by the end it felt like an hour of sameness.
