Favorite track(s): Joni herself said there's not a dishonest note on this whole album. A rare and astounding feat.
Favorite track(s): please there was more music coming out in the 2010s that wasn't trying to salvage rock please we can't keep doing this
Favorite track(s): Right Here, Right Now, The Rockafeller Skank
Favorite track(s): an album that left me truly flabbergasted as to its widespread critical and commercial success. I can't say I wasn't entertained, I was laughing damn near the whole way through.
"Are you smoking crack or something? We cannot have that behavior in this establishment."
Favorite track(s): Tanz Debil, Steh auf Berlin, Kollaps, Abstieg & Zerfall
What I had hoped this list would've been full of, no wonder so many people hate it.

Favorite track(s): Sunshine, A Minha Menina
Of the best tracks, one required an extra songwriter on top of the other two. The other is a cover. I think that says a lot.

A most honorable mention to the non-album single Defecting Grey
Favorite track(s): Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Time After Time, She Bop
Favorite track(s): Mea culpa, Regiment, Help Me Somebody, The Jezebel Spirit, Moonlight in Glory
This is what happens when you get two of history's most quirked up white boys in the studio together.
Favorite track(s): Section 43, Love, Bass Strings
Favorite track(s): an hour and a half of flavorless songwriting, derivative or outright bad vocals, and off-meter lyrics about how us Yankees don't understand Lynyrd Skynyrd or "the Southern Thing™". I couldn't wait long enough for the next exit off Highway 72.
Favorite track(s): What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 4), Stem/Long Stem, Midnight in a Perfect World, What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 1 - Blue Sky Revisit)
Favorite track(s): the desire to save good ol' rock-n-roll has crossed the Pond. The results are musically the same but lyrically worse.

Favorite track(s): Mother's Hands, The Trenches
I'll respect it for pushing my boundaries. I'm not big on musical theater/cabaret to begin with, but it's made somewhat awkward on top by the translations. A few glimpses of interesting arrangement. Overall, pretty bizarre. I'll take my Dagmar with Henry Cow or Slapp Happy instead.
Favorite track(s): just the part where he said "Latino lover mode"
The worst album so far in this list's continued obsession with the death rattles of rock. How great that I'm as far away from the release of this album as this band is from the death of the glam metal they tried to replicate to astoundingly bad results.
