A great lesson that talented musicians can throw everything they have into an album and write songs that suck.

Okay, nothing to write home about. Can't think there is better out there.

The Doors

3/5

I can, of course, understand why it's here. That does not mean I should find it phonetically pleasing. It is much too plain, too dark and dismal.

DNF. I hate these guys. If there's another album from them on this list, it starts to fall apart.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

2/5

I don't know if I'm doing this guy a disservice. I keep listening to his music and I feel there's something deeper there I just can't reach. My understanding of Sufjan remains superficial. Maybe I'm missing out. Maybe it's just pretentious postering.

1/5

The world is so full of wonderful things, not least of which are people so different from me that they listened to this album and gave it five stars. Their reality is so different than mine that I can't really imagine it. That said, this fucking sucked.

The Bends

Radiohead

Like every other Radiohead album - fine, I guess.
