The opinions in this video are just that, opinions. If you disagree with my opinion that's fine, feel free to express yourself in the comments. If I disliked something and you love it, I would love to know why you love it. I don't know everything about all types of music, and you might have a better appreciation of the qualities than I do.
This is a long series of short album reviews. I have a list of the 3000 greatest albums of all time, taken from Acclaimed Music. It's a great list, compiled from many critics' lists, a bit like Metacritic for albums. I'm running through in a countdown order. I took a snapshot in 2022, I don't think it has been maintained beyond 2019.
