Aladdin Sane
David Bowie
This just isn't for me. I don't know how to define my dislike. The songs are not powerful or emotional. They just drone on like background music. The band has some neat openings, and a few nice jams, but most of the time they are just there for noise.
I found myself bored. With the exception of 1 or 2 songs.
It reminds me a lot of "musicals" or "theater". If you like those things you might like this.

Horses
Patti Smith
Wow this album is so unique. Patti has a "voice" that is quite different and might annoy some with her whining and exploring her vocals but I quite like it.
The songs that shine on this album really shine. The songs that don't are still interesting to listen to.
I'm compelled to listen to this one again, but next time in a better setting so I can really focus on the lyrics.

There's a reason this album hit big. It's unique and so much fun. For me, personally, it's about 90% amazing and 10% awkward. It's an experience. I can see why it would be listed as a must-listen.

Smash
The Offspring
This is an easy one. I own this album. Definitely brings back memories of my teenage years since I was 14 when this came out.
Even though the singing is a lot of the same (he has a unique voice), meaning every song has the same tone, somehow they change up the music and lyrics in a way that doesn't get boring. I think this is why they hit so big when they came out.
This is one of those few albums where every song is good.

London Calling
The Clash
Oh wow, I know every song already because I've been listening to this album for years. There's really no bad songs. I'll listen to every single one and be happy about it the whole time.

Here Are the Sonics
The Sonics
So I had never heard of this band before, but then I realized they have several classics that I had heard many times.
It's funny how many of these songs I've heard as covers by other bands and didn't even realize it.
It's very oldies sounding, but I have mad respect for them due to how they forged the future of rock.

Madman Across The Water
Elton John
Well, it's Elton John. Not really my thing. I can understand why people like it. It's very melodic, calming, and in a way, interesting to listen to, until I got bored. I got bored pretty fast because every song is kinda the same with different words.

Back At The Chicken Shack
Jimmy Smith
This is like simcity background music. I love it. After a while I do need to hear something different, but overall it's quite enjoyable.

Felt Mountain
Goldfrapp
This is some crazy, but fun, music to listen to. Also, it makes me feel like I'm running some kind of underground club from the 1920's when people walk into my office from the "normal world".
It might go on my normal rotation.
