Into the Unknown: 3/10 Suffer: 5/10 No Control: 5/10 Against the Grain: 4/10 Stranger Than Fiction: 4/10 Alright, regardless of how I feel about their usual sound... Into the Unknown is a HILARIOUSLY bad prog attempt. But for the most part they bridged pop punk and hardcore punk in a reasonable way... it's good music but lacks a certain edge to me. I find it hard to really enjoy. |

Black Celebration: 5/10 Music for the Masses: 4/10 Violator: 5/10 I'm sorry that I keep shitting all over your favorite bands Wave! Depeche Mode has some singles I kinda like at least... I feel like the hooks never stick with me and when the music is emotional it has this kind of... shield? (Might be the production IDK) that really keeps me from connecting. |

It: 5/10 Freaks: 4/10 Separations: 6/10 His 'n' Hers: 6/10 Different Class: 10/10 This Is Hardcore: 9/10 We Love Life: 6/10 Pulp is odd with me. I really dislike their early work which sounded on paper like music I would enjoy more, while when they started turning Britpop, which is normally a pretty meh genre with me, they suddenly became brilliant! Really fun music once they got things going, Pulp is fantastic. |

The Clash: 4/10 London Calling: 5/10 Sandinista!: 4/10 Combat Rock: 4/10 OH GOD I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY. I really should have no reason for not being a big Clash fan. I mean they're freaking legendary. But the thing is their albums have so much filler songs IMO that really bring them down, and even The Clash's best songs do little for me and in the end they just don't engage me. I respect the hell out of them though. |

N/A However, I have heard quite a bit of their songs and have downloaded some of their albums for future listening, just haven't gotten around to hearing them. It's a shame they're billed as a one hit wonder, Take On Me, while great, isn't by far their best, and nearly everything I've heard from them is just as good. |

Surfer Rosa: 8/10 Doolittle: 10/10 Bossanova: 9/10 Trompe le monde: 9/10 Great band of course. There's just something beautiful in the controlled and somehow catchy chaos that their music creates. A lot of random spazz out moments combined with softer haunting parts... pretty much became the norm for Alt Rock for better or worse. I actually think Surfer Rosa is their weakest, don't think they matured quite right yet. |

Neil Young: 7/10 Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere: 10/10 After the Gold Rush: 9/10 Harvest: 10/10 Journey Through the Past: 6/10 Time Fades Away: 8/10 On the Beach: 8/10 Tonight's the Night: 9/10 Zuma: 9/10 American Stars 'n Bars: 8/10 Comes a Time: 7/10 Rust Never Sleeps: 9/10 Live Rust: 9/10 Hawks & Doves: 5/10 Re·ac·tor: 5/10 Trans: 7/10 Everybody's Rockin': 4/10 Old Ways: 5/10 Landing on Water: 3/10 Life: 5/10 This Note's for You: 5/10 Freedom: 6/10 Ragged Glory: 7/10 Arc-Weld: 8/10 Arc: 7/10 Weld: 8/10 Harvest Moon: 7/10 Sleeps With Angels: 6/10 Mirror Ball: 6/10 Dead Man: 7/10 Broken Arrow: 5/10 Silver & Gold: 6/10 Road Rock: 6/10 Are You Passionate?: 5/10 Greendale: 6/10 Prairie Wind: 5/10 Living With War: 8/10 Live at Massey Hall 1971: 8/10 Chrome Dreams II: 7/10 Fork in the Road: 5/10 Le Noise: 10/10 A Treasure: 7/10 Americana: 6/10 I probably have more Neil Young albums than anyone else. I mean yeah, he got bad in the mid-80's but outside of that he has had an incredibly consistent career, spanning all over the rock spectrum as well. He's just the ultimate everyman, and pulls off his roles tremendously. Hell, one of his best albums came out in 2010! How amazing is that? I couldn't live without Neil. |

Only a Lad: 7/10 Nothing to Fear: 6/10 Good for Your Soul: 6/10 Dead Man's Party: 7/10 Good but not great new wave. They've got a wicked sense of humor and are a really fun listen now and then, and there's a punky kind of energy throughout their music that is pretty cool. Kinda underrated, especially with what Danny Elfman went on to do. |
