I've never really been a Smiths person. I do like the production quality of the album.
It's much as I remembered it. One good album, then 30 years of WTF.
Of the albums on this list so far, I liked this the most. But I've always liked Hendricks, I had "Smash Hits" when I was in eight grade. I've heard some of these songs (probably) hundreds of times.
I bought this album way back in the nineties, I've probably listened to it a dozen or more times. It's not my favorite thing, nor was Speak & Spell, which I also owned on vinyl, in the early eighties. I did actually see DM perform once, in 1988.
There's nothing really wrong with this and I do like 'Fire and Rain', but if I'm listening to albums I'd rather listen to America or Gordon Lightfoot.
Meh. I have never liked his voice. I do like "King's Lead Hat" and "Baby's on Fire", but those songs are not on this album. It's not a terrible album, it's just not to my taste.
I have had this album since it came out.
Meh. I've never been into Television. I don't think that they are bad or unskilled, but it's never grabbed me. If I want to listen to New York style new wave from the late seventies, it's going to look for something like early Blondie.
Baez isn't, and has never been, my kind of thing. She's too earnest.
It's hippy music, but it's classic hippy music.
I still have my copy of this around the house, somewhere.
I have already begun to forget this album. I don't think it's bad in a technical way, it just doesn't work for me.
To me, the most memorable song on the album is "School Girl", which is memorable for the wrong reasons. I'd much rather listen to "Pet Sounds".
I have liked this album since I first heard it in the early 1980s.
Meh. I'd rather listen to "Songs To Learn and Sing". I have all 11 songs on STLS marked as favorites.
Meh. I prefer "Live Through This". To me, it has a more raw feel and grunge was about "raw".
Meh. It's violent and depressing.
I remember "Coconut" being kind-of popular back in the seventies. For me, the stand out track on this album is "Jump Into The Fire". I don't think I'd had heard it until Martin Scorsese used it for the cocaine-fueled meltdown scene in the movie "Goodfellas".
This has three of my favorite post-Beatles McCartney songs on it.
Meh. Disco doesn't bother me but it's not usually very memorable, either.
I've had a copy of this album since it was released.
Everyone loves the Humpty Dance, but I don't remember listening to the whole album before.
I am pretty sure that I've heard a couple of these songs over one thousand times.
I think the last time I listened to this entire thing was 1978, when I was in middle school. To me, "Sweet Emotion" is the only memorable track. Meh.
I thought this was pretty good. I think that pretty much everyone knows "Heads Will Roll", but I hadn't heard any other song. I would rather listen to this again than "Toys in the Attic" again.
Meh. Never loved the Eagles. The quality of the recording is very nice, there's a lot of banjo in there that I never noticed before.
I had never heard of these guys, so I listened to this with some interest. It was fine, but forgettable.
Wow. I had an actual vinyl copy of this, with the inner sleeve with the window people printed on it, in the late seventies. That's the sort of thing that didn't work well in the CD era and now, in the streaming era, it's not a thing. I liked the album more than I remember liking it.
Meh. Not my kind of maudlin.
I liked this more than I guessed I would. It is more old-school than a lot of urban/hip-hop titles that this site suggests. But, I'll still probably never listen to it again.
I've never been huge on Floyd. I did have a copy of The Wall when I was in middle school. I presume that will pop up on this site, at some point. I'd listen to it again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so.
I liked it more than I thought I would. I liked two more songs, which I vaguely remembered from my childhood.
Queen is OK. The highlight of this is you-know-what. Within the week, I just saw that scene from Wayne's World for the first time in 20 years.
The last time I listened to whole thing, it was 1978. Actually, I liked this more than I thought I would.
I've been hearing BH for over 50 years, but I'd never heard the album before.
Meh. In the mid-to-late eighties, I won a copy of this on cassette, as a door prize at a bar. I gave it to my mother.
My dad had this, on vinyl, back then. Listening now, I'm very impressed by the quality of the recording. I also like the dis on MTV, which they co-opted and ran with. I'd say that this is better than "meh", but not "life-altering".
I thought this was pretty good, and I'd listen to it again.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
Meh. I like Marakesh Express the most of these songs, but it does feel like a Simon & Garfunkel song.
Meh. I've already forgotten it.
I was obsessed with this album for about two weeks in 1999.
Meh. I feel like I've heard at least one of these songs, perhaps on a movie soundtrack.
While I like various TH _songs_, I have never been crazy about the albums.
I had two songs favorited on album. I favorited a new one when listening to the entire thing, for the fist time.
So, pretty good but not life-altering.
So nice I listed to it twice. It's only 35 minutes long. I had this, on vinyl. In 1980. Maybe even earlier.
Meh. There are lots of albums that have that _one_song_. This is one of those. This was released late late in the disco 'era' and it seems that disco had already run it's course.
This isn't for me. It isn't ear-wormy enough.
It's fine, but I don't remember much about it, here on Monday.
Not my favorite Bowie album, but pretty good.
Pretty good, but songs other than Ace of Spades kind of blur together and a song named "Jailbait' isn't cool.
I'd never heard of this before. It's reminiscent of Alice in Chains or Jane's Addiction. Still, no song on the album really jumped out at me and I'm unlikely to go back to it, so I'm not giving it a mediocre rating.
While I've heard a few of these songs a few thousand times, I've never listed to an entire RS album this old. There's nothing wrong with it, but I don't find it memorable-I'd rather listen to a different Stones album.
A blast from the past. Worth listening to every few years.
