american dream
LCD Soundsystem
My least favorite LCD album? I’m a fan. Each before this had at least one song that grabbed me that I still listen to. Maybe I got bored of them? Or thought the magic was gone after they “retired” and then suddenly came back.

So
Peter Gabriel
I am sure I never listened to this whole album. Of course I know Sledgehammer from the video. That video is a core memory. This still of 80’s production/music has always been off putting to me. But I love his voice.

She's So Unusual
Cyndi Lauper
Have never listened to the whole album. Obviously know the hits because they were everywhere on MTV & radio at the time. Synth-pop isn’t my thing. But I can dig this. Her voice is great.

I waffled on this. One minute I liked it. One minute I hated it. One minute I loved it.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Current Austin would say 3 or 4 stars. Austin when this came out would say 5 stars. Going with younger Austin. Still a great album.

The White Album

Going 3. I feel like it’s wrong to go lower. But for me this album has some of the greatest songs of all time (Dear Prudence) and some of the most grating on my nerves (the oh bla di thing)
