One of the giants of rock and the album that out them there. The legendary first chords learned by a generation of guitar players was the opening riff from the rock anthem Smoke On The Water. Richie Blackmore's guitar icon status aside, the secret sauce of Machine Head is Jon Lord's revolutionary sound design created by piping his Hammond organ through a Marshall amplifier, giving Deep Purple a key component of their signature sound. A landmark album front to back.

The Godfathers of Punk! One of my favourite albums of all time. Crunching guitar, snarling in your face vocals, solid album.

Fantastic album, loaded with great tracks. Back to back with Quality Control, Jurassic 5 had two monster albums that should have made them superstars.

Fantastic well crafted music! From relaxing and almost soothing to absolute foot stompers.

Impossible not to get moving to the Specials.

Great rythm and arrangements. Good vibes.

Not for me. The sitar is a beautiful instrument and the ambition to record a crossover style album is understandable, but it sounded more like muzak than anything fresh.

Classic album that got me into these guys.

Impossible not to get moving to the Specials.

Couple of legendary tracks, but mostly not a rap fan.

Easily one of the greatest debut albums of all time. The Beatles influence is strong, but not dominating. Sometimes the layers upon layers of vocal tracks gets a tad overwhelming, but otherwise the technique is used to great effect (a la George Martin). Hands down, the title track is an all-time classic and in today's political and pandemic fatigued world, would be a welcome reminder to be good to one another. Also, Karl Denson's saxophone solo on Let Love Rule is one of absolute greatest in recorded history and a joy to the ears everytime I hear it.

Not my thing.

Al Green is a favourite, and this is the album that introduced me to him. Great songs, slick and emotional vocals, timeless classic.

Great album, though I would put Toys In The Attic well ahead of this one.

Half decent album. Not really my thing.

Maybe not as popular as the their earlier works, but a true masterpiece of song crafting and sound dynamics.

Always preferred this band with Young onboard. The vocal harmonies alone are mindblowing, but overall just a fantastic front to back album.

Have always meant to check this band out. Sounds great and will require additional listens.

Nina rarely disappoints! I had not heard of this album and thoroughly enjoyed listening to her cover versions.

Interesting, and not to discredit the fine song writing skills of Stewart and Lennox, but other than the radio hits, was pretty bland.

Their best album imo, Bon's best work and one the truly great rock albums of all time.

The noise!

Phenomenal album! Played the hell out of this as a teenager!

Have owned this album on vinyl almost thirty years and it still holds up. A classic hardcore album that is intense, humourous and brutally good!

Didn't care for it.

Fantastic!

Punk masterpiece!

A Waits classic!

Not my thing. Listened to three songs and turned it off.

Classic album. If only Darby lived.

Brian Eno is the king of chill and that's what I appreciate about him. His pre-ambient days, like this album are alien to me. Interesting music nonetheless, but not something particularly enjoy.

Boring. Not for me

Fantastic album!

Not a fan

Awful music, did not listen.

Brilliant

Not a fan.

One of my favourite albums of all time. Radiohead is clearly on another level.

Not my thing

Phenomenal, just phenomenal.

One of the greatest poet/lyricists of all time.

Not for me

This album has not agreed well. Some decent tracks, but mostly boring.

A beautiful talent.

Their best album and a classic
