Let’s discuss any and all music here. Got a new artist who’s rocking your boat that you want to talk about? Post a video! Found out about that unearthed Coltrane album that has the jazz freak in you losing your mind? Lay it out for us! Have a theory about what your favorite band might do for their next album? Let’s hear it! Anything and everything music-related goes here.

This week’s discussion prompt comes courtesy of The Avocado’s very own Pastyjournalist:

What are some good examples of “eat your vegetables” albums (i.e. albums you’re “supposed to” have reverence for)?

In their original post, Pastyjournalist explained that in a recent Uproxx article ranking every Radiohead album (plus solo records and side projects), writer Steven Hyden referred to Kid A as an “eat your vegetables” album, as while it certainly blew the minds of many of us who heard it at the time and continues to impress many new listeners today, members of Gen Z and others who weren’t there or aware of it at the time might well be sick of hearing about how “important” that album is.

So, what albums fit into this category for you? Has an album’s reputation as an “undisputed classic” kept you from listening to it, or led to it not living up to the high expectations placed upon it? Or did you actually love it (or come to love it over time)? Let us know down below!

As always, any and all music-related posts are welcome. Have fun, and rock out with yr guac out!
