495. a classic obviously. their vocals are so smooth and perfect, but they're just not for me. are they boyz? are they men? who can tell? overall this felt too long and monotonous. a cool sound but too much of it. 4/10.

496. I was so surprised by Shakira doing pop rock. I would listen to this at the beach or something. I like the 90s pop sound a lot. 8/10 she's a legend.

497. I always forget that I like world music. sounds like the shit my shop owner at Ren fest plays during the day and dances to when she's in a good mood. 6/10 probably wouldn't listen again on purpose but it's really fun.

498. This one is so wild and droney and feels truly experimental. I can't explain why I liked it, but it scratched an itch. 8/10, extra points because the song Girl got me some weird looks from a lady next to me at a red light.

499. never listened to Chaka Khan before this and I'm not sure why. this is a great set. it feels classic. 8/10.

500. hot start to such a long list. I love this album already, mostly for the background noise vibes but still love it. 7/10 because nothing specifically stands out to me.
