A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector by Various Artists

Disraeli Gears by Cream

Great album, a little too long

Third by Portishead

This album was painful. Jarring noise more apt to nails on a chalkboard than music.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

Tapestry by Carole King

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel

Pros: short, 4/10 (excluding bookends theme/reprise) are amazing songs… Cons: the rest seems like a mishmash of noises and half baked ideas. This was a tough one to rate.

Dummy by Portishead

Different Class by Pulp

I Against I by Bad Brains

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne

Gorillaz by Gorillaz

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs by Marty Robbins

Boston by Boston

This album feels so generic.. every song seems the same.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan

This album does not need to be listened to. It is very technically well played music, but it is boring and soulless. Not sure why this is on the list other than a strong bias in the list towards 70s rock.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens

Another Music In A Different Kitchen by Buzzcocks

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail by Buck Owens

Connected by Stereo MC's

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan

Steely Dan sounds like a parody of dad rock; and not even a good one! Lyrics are just cliches and complaining with a set of power chords being repeated. I really don’t get it.
