  8. The Beatles

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️

  9. My Chemical Romance

    #361 “Now come one, come all to this tragic affair” This album is so iconic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  10. Taylor Swift

    #170 excellent lyrics, love that she continued working Jack Antonoff and added Aaron Dessner for this project. It’s a tight album. “I knew you dancing in your Levi’s drunk under a streetlight” is an incredibly cinematic, vivid image.
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  11. Taylor Swift

    #393 Cohesive album with sweeping melodies. Several bangers and iconic misheard lyrics (got a list of Starbucks lovers), but arguably somewhat bland? ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

  12. Red
    Taylor Swift

    #99 The best of the best. Chaotic, energetic, and downright delightful.
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  13. 21
    Adele

    #137
    I’m just not a huge Adele fan. She has an amazing voice, fine lyrics, but the songs feel too slow and make me feel anxious.
    ⭐️ (don’t hate me)
