Her voice keeps switching from annoying to beautiful

Nails on a chalkboard

Sounds like a modern hipster band

One of my favorites

Perfect

I listen to this album a couple times a year. Great album to start with! Upbeat and classic.

I had this album in regular rotation back in high school but it's been a couple decades since I've listened to it. Today is now a jazz day and I'm listening to all sorts of old favorites

Sad I missed this band growing up. This was my first time listening to this album. It's beautiful but I think it's a little too '90s for me to really get into now

I've heard most of these songs individually but never together. I'm not a fan.

First time I've heard of this band! I like it.

Solid music, not my style

Quality. I remember this well from parties at college

I feel like an old person saying this album gave me a headache but I was 14 when it came out. It seems so repetitive, with its only saving grace being familiarity.

I should listen to this more. Enjoyed the album thoroughly

Perfect

It's a shame to give it a bad rating because the music style is great but I cannot handle the singer's voice

Perfect

Whiny, annoying. Although I did like some hipster music from that era, I never understood the draw of this band.

I'm a fan, but this album is not one of my favorites

Bizarre

Great. I can see how this influenced today's artists. Not very catchy to me

Glad I listened

Lovely, and in the style of good '60s music the lyrics are painful (in a good way)

There is this quality to this album that makes it great rap even after 25 years. I think it's how many collaborators are on it

Lovely. I'll have to pull this out again

Discordant. I didn't know that Pink Floyd went back this far

Smooth, sexy.

Solid, great music

Beautiful voice, not always my favorite music

I can't handle the voice

I can't believe I've never heard this album before! This is going in my regular rotation

I love the references to pagers and watching Arsenio Hall on channel 9

Her voice keeps switching from annoying to beautiful

I purchased the CD when it came out and was disappointed at how chill it was. I can appreciate it a lot more now but I think Beck is better when he is more funky

I love the Who. I hate live albums. The sound quality is awful even though this is one of the best albums.

Sounds like a modern hipster band

The songs are fine, I just can't stand his voice

I can appreciate this album as much now as on my first listen when I was six years old. It isn't subtle. It is still brilliant.

Fun. Never heard of the band before

Quality music, not my style

Another album I wish I had heard back in the '90s

Some great songs but the rest was too esoteric for me

One of my favorites

Pretty darn good, especially for an album I've never heard of before

Decent jazz album

A very specific sound but also mostly fun

The rest of the songs are almost as good as the song The Weight

I've never heard of it, it's inoffensive, didn't blow me away

Another new-to-me artist. I think I would have been blown away in the nineties, but now it's okay.

Super interesting! I'm still not sure if I enjoyed it but I'll give it more listens later on

There is a song on here that I sang in choir and I thought it was something way more lame than the beatles

Too much distortion, it hurts my brain

I like Fugazi but this album just sounded like noise

First listen of that album but I know Morrissey well. He didn't ever change his style, did he?

Some great songs, some not so great songs. But I can't bear to give Queen less than four stars

Nails on a chalkboard

Surprising because I'm a fan of the later pop selections from Aerosmith, but this album was not enjoyable

I usually just think of them as classic rock but I was really blown away listening to the whole album together

surprisingly pleasant for music that is not my style

One of those albums I put on and then a half hour later remember I'm listening to music. Entirely inoffensive, but I'm not seeing the art.

I don't get why this is good

I've tried this album a couple times and still can't tell if I like it

The least good of a great discography

Oh the memories

Not my style but I can see how it's good

can't believe I'm giving a live album this high of a rating

Pretty good, eclectic album. Weird that the only song from it I know was a pop hit

Not their strongest album - odd that it's on this list. But it's hard to go wrong with the Pixies.

Not my style of music but I actually listened and I can see why some would consider it great

Aside from the misogyny, this album is just about perfect

Way to chill for most situations but it is a very good album

One of my all time favorites

I had only ever heard the song "pale blue eyes" on many mixed tapes - the rest of their music I only knew with Nico. Much better without her.

It's a genre I like so I want to give it 3 stars but it's seriously so annoying I can't

Solid. All good songs

Only one fantastic song but the whole album is pretty good

If he only had a better voice

Interesting. Worth a full listen a couple times

I'm glad I listened to the whole album; I would never have known there were Springsteen songs I could tolerate well. Some I would swear weren't him.

I don't like the song Sweet Dreams so I was shocked that I love the rest of the music on this album!

Always a classic

Surprised I disliked this. It was annoying with the sliding, drunk-sounding voice

I listened four times through. Really great.

One of the best albums, musically, lyrically, and vocally, I've ever heard

Sounded generic on first listen but I really liked it after the second

If give them another listen! Pretty good but nothing caught me

Not my style at all but so beautiful I'll revisit it for sure!

I could give it another try but I'm not feeling it. I could see myself really liking it if I fist heard it as a teenager

Fantastic that they fit a whole album into 15 minutes. of all the hardcore punk I've seen this is some of the more enjoyable.

really, not bad. I can tell why she has so many fans. It's just too slow and not electronic enough for me

So grating, and I can't find the greatness

A bit too weird modern jazz for me

Motorhead is good. Live albums are not.

I really should have owned this cassette, damn

Funky, smooth, and lots of social commentary about drugs.

It's impressive when I already know most of the songs on an album. Odd that there are so many repeats made of different versions of songs on two discs, but also lots of other odd choices that made it stand out.

It was gibberish. Not uncomfortable to listen to, and I get that he revolutionized hip hop and all, but I couldn't make it out.

Something something separate the art from the artist, I don't know what I would have rated this if I didn't know who the nazi is. Then again he talked about women as females after sending dick pics so maybe it deserves two stars? Listened to the whole thing, props to me.

Musically fantastic, vocally grating

Too much repetition and electric beat for me in general, though by the Erasure-like song Sometimes it gets more melodic and I started grooving.

I had read about the xx and was excited to listen to dream pop. I heard fine electronica. Not much song to song distinction.

I don't know why I thought The The was in the '60's era of The Who. I'm a big fan of This Is the Day from Empire Records, and the rest of the album is pretty great. I'll give this lots of more listens.

With how much I admire the persona of Elton John, I really want to like his music more.

Great early country, if you like that. Surprised I haven't heard of her before.

Another one I just don't get. I want to feel inspired by the Celtic poetry, the starving artist beauty that so many hear, but I hear a slightly annoying guy in a cheezy bar in Vegas. It's surely an interesting follow up to Brown Eyed Girl.

Refreshing when you know the first banger of a song and the entire album continues in that groove

Folksy, seems pretty socially justicy which i like but I still don't enjoy folk music

If I had this album when I was a pre-teen I would have devoured it. Great American stuff, glad to have realized I really only know Pet Sounds.

Amazing that I've been hearing these songs for over forty years and that first one can still make me cry. The percussion and instrumentals on Cecelia are delightful. Each time I order a lager I sing "I'd rather be a lager than an ale" to the tune of El Condor Pasa. The range on this album is impressive as hell. I love how many songs are quiet with only guitar, some have choir backing vocals, some have horns or flutes, and each fit the song perfectly, and the songs flow together in an album so well

I've heard this album Maybe dozens of times. I don't understand how some artists I love, admire this guy. He seems so College radio.

Something special. It can be background music but it's the type that makes me stop and breathe and relax every so often.

Luck of the draw that I missed this cassette in the '90s, I would have memorized this album hard. There were even enough clean lyrics I could have sung them around my mom. I kept listening to Gang Starr after this and enjoyed their later stuff even more but this album does slap.

Solid as heck.

It hurts to give this a three because it's truly not good enough. But just fifteen years ago I had this album on repeat and I'm not a dumb person so there must be something to it.

I am glad for the impetus to listen to old Bowie! Some of the songs were really mind bending. I really enjoyed several listens through.

I do get down with Ornette Coleman on occasion and I have nothing against stochastic music. I do like some Captain Beefheart songs too. This album was a bit too Free Rock for me, the distortion was so constant I had to check my speakers a couple times. Although it had its moments it wasn't a winner.
