#400 (!) Nina Simone - Wild is the Wind
I'm really not best placed to appreciate an album like this, since I usually listen to these while doing something else, and even when I focus on the lyrics I am quite bad at actually making them out, but still I found it interesting.

#409 Kacey Musgraves - Golden Hour
I think this *might* be the first album on the list I've heard before, as my dad played it a few times when it first came out. It's good! Musgraves has such a nice voice.

#411 Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
I find it odd that, despite how iconic the album is, I hadn't really heard any of these songs before. It took a while for me to warm to it but it clicked by the end.
