Made of plastic

Something hard to lift
T.V. Eye—The Stooges (1970)

Kraftwerk—Trans Europe Express
Favorite track: The Hall of Mirrors
Any 70s album countdown has to have some Kraut rock in it. It was the genre that paved the way for 80s synth.

Washing Machine Heart—Mitski (2018)
The song that blew up on Tik Tok and made her a star. It was even a Jeopardy! answer.
