                                Talking Heads
                            
                    
                    
                            Talking heads are classic but this album wouldn't be my choice, I think the preceding and two following albums are far better. I would probably rank this as my 5th favorite TH album but that is still far better than most albums. Never going to complain about listening to Talking Heads as they are one of my favorite bands.

                            Not sure why I never got this band. Everyone seems to like them, including folks who's music opinions I really value, but they just don't seem to be for me. I never noticed how he looks like Bat Boy on the cover. I'm finding a bit of a slog to get through but it's a solid "okay". If I could give it 2 1/2 stars I would, I just find it really boring.

                            Such a great album. A real refreshing voice that is both modern and a throwback. Every track is a banger and at 34 minutes it doesn't waste a second. A true classic.

                            This is my first time listening to a Kanye album. I feel a bit mixed, the production if amazing but his flow has always bothered me. I'd say it was far better than I thought it would be but not for me. Ignoring the complete mental breakdown from him lately, I definitely can understand why this album is held in high regard. I think the saving grace for this album is there is much less Kanye on it than I expected.

                            I mean great voice but the songs are a bit bland. I think it's good but I'm not listening to a 3+ hour album. Great background music for a swanky cocktail party but not my favorite Ella.

                            Great album, probably my second favorite of his. It starts off real strong but lags a bit in the middle. It feels like this was the bridge between disco and modern pop music. A much more pared down MJ without all the pomp and circumstance of his later albums.

                            I do not like this album. The first part is decent but I really just hate Stephin Merrit's voice. It's grating and pretentious to me. Halfway through the second album I threw in the towel. I know a lot of folks love this album but I hate it. I feel like they had a decent album here but some editing would have made this an okay album.

                            I can't believe I've never heard any of these songs before, but it is very fun album and I really liked it. Never been the hugest Queen fan but always appreciated them. This album is an enjoyable romp filled with epic campy songs.

                            What a fun album, I've heard of Thundercat but never really gave him a listen. Lots of great guests and some really whimsical stuff. I think it might be a little too smooth jazz for my taste but it's definitely a great album. The Kenny Loggins/Michael McDonald collab really fits into this album well.

                            Not sure what this is. It's like "We have C&C Music Factory at home" - but this is what you have at home. It's not bad but it's not good. I guess this was what Britain had for R&B in the nineties, sorry 'bout that. I got halfway through this album before finally giving up.

                            Great album, probably his second best. I feel like the last song was ridiculously long but there are some bangers on this album.

                            I can't think of another album that has a better starting 8 songs. When this album came out it was a breath of fresh air. It definitely still holds up as their best album. No wonder kids of today treat this band like my generation did the Beatles, they are so damn good. I'm not the hugest fan of grunge but this album rises above the other albums by their contemporaries. Damn that last song "Endless, Nameless" was heavy as hell and might be my favorite Nirvana song. This is probably the closest to a perfect album I've heard in a long while.

                            I mean it was ok, I actually didn't notice when it switched over to another artist. Pretty boring stuff but good for what it was I guess.

                            Love X but they really wrote just a handful of songs that are really good and the rest feel a bit filler. I think Los Angeles is a better album but this one is not bad. There are really only two great songs on the album and the rest are ok.

                            This is a very pleasant album. I've never heard of this person or heard their music before but it was an enjoyable listen. It's a bit slow for my taste but glad to have heard it. I could see myself listening to this when I want something super chill.

                            I love Buzzcocks and I love post-punk so really surprised I've never heard this band before. A pretty great album but "The Great Beautician In The Sky" is pretty bad, almost Sex Pistols "Who Killed Bambi?" bad. This album was really ahead of it's time, post-punk before punk had even got off the ground.

                            Some great old timey rock and roll. I grew up with my parents listening to this music. Fun but probably not something I would ever put on. Good job creating a whole new genre of music. I will admit after a while all the songs kind of start to sound the same.

In A Silent Way
                                Miles Davis
                            
                    
                    
                            Not the biggest jazz fan but Miles Davis just hits. Not even close to my favorite album but still so good. I feel like his music just puts me in a trance.

                            Not really an Eric Clapton fan but this is a pretty groovy album. I like it but probably wouldn't listen to it otherwise. I have a new appreciation for Clapton after this. Catchy chill tunes.

                            Not a fan of grunge but this album was pretty decent. I had always heard of Mudhoney but never got into them. I'm still not really into them but I can appreciate their place in history. I definitely liked this more that I thought I would, but still not a fan of grunge.

                            I love Steely Dan, not really sure why. They are cheesey but smooth as hell. This is nowhere near their best album but still a great slice of Steely. I had never heard this album but glad to have finally experienced it.

                            I don't know what this is or why it's on here. It says he was at the forefront of blending jazz and world music but I only hear smooth jazz. It's not offensive just a bit boring, belongs in an elevator.

Moondance
                                Van Morrison
                            
                    
                    
                            Never really liked Van Morrison, always seemed like old people music. I can't understand what he is singing, I swear in every song he sings "sweet jellyroll" but I don't think those are any of the actual lyrics. He has a very mush-mouth way of singing and it makes all of his songs sound the same to me. I feel like I've heard every song on this album even though I've never intentionally listened to his music, maybe it's just because they all sound the same. I can appreciate that people like him but I find his music extremely annoying. I somehow listened to this whole album and I think I hate him more than when I started, so I guess it moved me. I just kept going because I couldn't believe how bad it was and how it only got worse as it went.

Rust In Peace
                                Megadeth
                            
                    
                    
                            This album came out in 1990 which was probably the peak year for early metal. So many amazing metal albums came out this year and this album was definitely one of them. This is probably Megadeth's best album. they are super tight compared to previous albums. Megadeth is probably my least favorite of the big four thrash bands but every song on this album is a banger! Easily the best album I've been served so far.

                            This album is so good, it was in heavy rotation for me for quite a while. Glad to have it brought to my attention again. This is a post-punk classic and surprised it isn't held in higher regard. Upon listening to this album again it is a bit repetitive, not as good as I remember it but still really enjoyable.

                            Not sure I've actually heard this album before but I have heard many of the songs. I didn't realize "I want your sex" had two parts (maybe 3 parts if you count the last song) and was a 9 minute song. George Michael is a pop legend and I'm glad to finally listen to this album. Some of his songs just really hit me right in the heart and bring me back to being a kid like few artists can. I feel like the album starts off strong with all the hits then slows a bit but overall a pretty good album.

                            I never really got into The Who but I did like the Tommy and Quadrophenia movies. I will admit starting with Baba O'Riley was a big turn off, I really don't like that song for some reason. I feel like The Who is a band I wanted to get into but never really could, that hasn't really changed. I mean it's okay but just nothing that I'm super excited about. Also, "Won't Get Fooled Again" is far too long at 8 minutes, yikes. I guess it just feels like generic arena rock to me which I'm sure at the time was exciting but doesn't really move me.

                            Another one of those artists I've never heard of, it feels a bit dream poppy. Not my favorite style of music but I don't mind it at all. It's super chill if you are into that I'd say it's about middle of the road for me: 2.5.

                            This is the type of hip hop that I find really boring. Just a lot of bragging and machismo with no real substance. This is definitely my first time listening to a Jay-Z album and I don't think I ever need to listen to another album of his. It's pretty basic stuff, I can see he is talented but it's not for me. That was a very long hour and three minutes.

                            I've always appreciated Bowie but never got into him, guess there's no time like the present. I like this album but not something that I'm super into. I guess I can appreciate David Bowie as an icon without actually loving his music; some of my favorite artists were heavily influenced by him. I would never turn off a Bowie song but not sure I would ever put one on. Great for what it is and I will have to try another album to see if it "sticks"
