You've churned through a ton of "essential" stuff. What is the least essential thing you've listened to? What's the album that you're like "well that was a thing and I'll never feel the need put it in my ears again"?

So far, and we are 480-something albums in, the bottom of my list, which are albums I am not likely to listen again are:

482: Neu!
481: Harmonia - Musik von Harmonia
480: Popol Vu - In Den Garten Pharoas
479: Agitation Free - Malesch
478: Joni Mitchell - Blue

Majority near the bottom are just things that don’t appeal to my personal taste. A lot of it is the minimalist stuff because I don’t connect with a lot of it, though there are some by Can and Brian Eno that I really liked. But the leash on that kind of music is quite short for me. I also determined I just don’t like Joni Mitchell’s music, which isn’t to say it’s bad, but there are just some artists that don’t do it for me. Bands in that realm I knew I couldn’t hang with going into this were The Eagles and Bon Jovi, but add to that list now Joni Mitchell and probably Queen (I find I like them for like 15 minutes and then it turns like bad milk).

That's a fair assessment of Queen. One I'd probably agree with.

To continue the interview, Joni Mitchell is a pretty bold inclusion in the bottom of the barrel. Are there any other controversial opinions lurking near the bottom? What's the most commonly-considered-good record that you were surprised to find you didn't like? And on the other end of the spectrum, what's the artist you had always kind of avoided that you were surprised to like?

We have all suffered in the absence of the tragabigzanda account
