It's a solid live album, it has a couple of songs I began to remember from my childhood as I heard them. Yes, it's not anything out of the ordinary and I don't think it "brought anything new to the table" back then, but I also don't think it meant to. It's just an "inoffensive" pleasant album (with a pretty unfortunate Stones cover, I have to say)

It was a nice enough listen while I did other stuff. It has a nice balance of upbeat and easy songs so it doesn't get tiring at any moment. Felt like it would make for a very cool road soundtrack.

I have listened to this album a couple of times before and liked it a lot. It's fun, it's powerful, it's creative.

Ive always found John though a good songwriter a little bit cheesy. And well, listening to this album was very nice, but sadly, still a little bit too nice at some moments.

The chord progressions that Coltrane used in his song Giant Steps weren't exactly new back then, they had been used some years prior by Ellington and other composers; and the second part of the song is a mere transcript of a passage from a music theory book. But the song worked so well by itself that the term "Coltrane Changes" began to be used to describe these rapid and complex progressions. And maybe -just maybe- that was the point of the name; this album seems to me like a recollection of styles, of the best rock-ish stuff you could get back in the 1990s, and it comes out nicely. A lot of nice songs, an overall consistent sound, and it never gets boring thanks to the leaps between styles.

This is some pretty great music and I liked it for the most part but I felt it became somewhat tiring by the middle. Then it kind of gives you a break with Samba Pa Ti and finishes ok. It has some killer tracks but I don't think it flows that well as an album.

A nice collection of mellow songs with up close lyrics. But there's still something about this album that I don't find it enticing.

This was nice

Listened to the UK release. The Clash weren't the first nor the best of all the punk bands out there, but they sure made a lot of people in that era to have fun, and it shows why in their debut album. It's upfront, it has a load of energetic songs, and it was certainly very influential. And that is sometimes enough to consider an album great. I particularly liked "Deny".

I couldn't even get through it entirely.

This sounds like Waits could have developed some of these songs as a great concept album but for some reason he didn't. Which is a shame because most of the tracks are such a pleasant listen on their own; but like this at times it just feels a little too long and overfilled. Particularly liked: Jockey Full of Bourbon

A very nice and enjoyable album. I liked it.

It's an easy to listen and overall likeable countryish-pop album, but some of its songs are kind of meh. I didn't like the mixing.

I gotta say I was specting more of this one. It's not bad but it's not very good either. Just well produced generic AOR

I enjoyed this one a lot, fun and well made new wave

I liked it. Sincere, simple, beautiful.

It's got some nice songs and some awful ones. As a whole I feel it kinda boring. Particularly liked: M62 Song

This is like an 80's-90's masterclass. It's just great and I can see why a lot of artists that want to get that vibe for their songs are still turning to Price. The cover art is plainly hideous though, but I guess that's just the 00's kickin in. Liked: About Funk

Nice. Liked: These Days

Historic / 5

This one was very interesting. More experimental than other albums from its time. It's not as good as other glam albums, but it marks where the whole genre would shift from there.

I mean I liked this one a lot, a very pleasurable listen, and it's not weak at any moment but it neither has any particularly strong moments.

Nice, even for a long album it doesn't feel overlength except on a couple of tracks. Sadly, still my favorite tracks were the covers. Liked: Lauryn Hill's voice.

Lovely

I tried to like it, I just couldn't

I'm so glad we met by chance

Other than for a few songs of him, I've never realy liked Elvis' music or his persona. And while this is a pretty decent album, if it's his best as some claim, I'd stick with a greatest hits comp

I don't know what can I say about this one

I have listened to this album a couple of times before and liked it a lot. It's fun, it's powerful, it's creative.

Ive always found John though a good songwriter a little bit cheesy. And well, listening to this album was very nice, but sadly, still a little bit too nice at some moments.

I like most of the songs in this album in some way or another. Still I don't feel it entirely cohesive in itself.

Nice

Fun album

I grew up listening to "Greatest Hits", so I'm kind of biased on picking my favorite Queen album, but I still liked this one a lot.

I loved this one, it may not be nothing extraordinary but man it's smooth.

It has some nice songs around the half of the album and forth. Otherwise pretty forgettable.

I got introduced to this album about a year ago, and at first it was kind of hard for me to entirely grasp it. Still I fell in love with the first and last tracks so I gave it a couple of tries more and now I think it is just lovely.

One year before Blonde on Blonde, I liked this one a lot.

It's like the soundtrack for an 80s-90s movie. I mean it's very cool and well produced music but it just comes out as kind of generic.

Listened while working and it was pleasant from start to finish.

A nice predecesor to the vast (and better) latin albums produced in the 70's New York

With a proper producer they would've probably made a better Weezer than Weezer.

I wouldn't say i liked it per se but it surely is interesting. One other thing is that Frankie Teardrop is a challenge to get through.

Before this I had never listened anything from The Stooges, and I gotta say this was pretty good.

It's a solid live album, it has a couple of songs I began to remember from my childhood as I heard them. Yes, it's not anything out of the ordinary and I don't think it "brought anything new to the table" back then, but I also don't think it meant to. It's just an "inoffensive" pleasant album (with a pretty unfortunate Stones cover, I have to say)

Has a melancholic feel to it, though I guess that's inherent to the genre. Don't know a lot about country but Loretta's voice feels nice.

There are albums that feel like they couldn't ever be re-done or substituted to achieve a similar connection with any new audiences. And with that in mind, I feel like this album could be easily replaced with any album from blink-182 (at least for my generation), or with one from any other "irreverent" teenager band. I mean, I think I get why the compilers of the list thought this one was worthy of appearing on it; but while I recognize the concept of the album, I'm not really sold to the style of music or the contents of the lyrics.

The songs on this one are mostly very nice, my only complain with the album (if any) would be that it's a little bit too long. I mean, it's great music, but 76min?

The chord progressions that Coltrane used in his song Giant Steps weren't exactly new back then, they had been used some years prior by Ellington and other composers; and the second part of the song is a mere transcript of a passage from a music theory book.

It's a nice beginning for the Tropicália movement, although I'm not a fan of all the songs included in the album

Such nice vocal music. I listened to it while at work and it was just the right amount of relaxing.

I listened to it while working and I gotta say it's really enjoyable

Cliché pop music. It's well made but I don't think this was something I had to listen to before I die

Some great songs, some pretty forgettable, but overall an enjoyable album

Lots of good ideas that are horribly executed. Comes out as an overly long and honestly kind of mediocre album.

A collection traditional rhythms and styles digested for the 90s English listener. Mostly hideous.

A nice mellow album. I enjoyed it.

Can't say much about this one. Beautiful music

It's hard for me to sometimes give such low scores to music that sounds so honest. But within the context of this list, where it's supposed to be about albums that are actually crucial to the history of modern music, or about albums that maybe weren't that influential but are notable by themselves, this one for me doesn't come as a member of any of these two categories. Is it good music? Yes. Is it something I had to listen to get something that I wouldn't be able to get from any other album? I hardly think so

Sounds a lot like how I've been made to think the blues should sound. And I think it's pretty good. Although, I've seen that quite a few people prefer Waters' earlier stuff so I will have to dig a little bit more into that, but meanwhile this was quite a good introduction for me.

Great instrumentation, kind of souless songs. It would've been better to listen to some of the albums where this is sampled

This one is just so good

This is a fantastic debut album. Fun music, kind of a punk-ish ska-ish pop, great trumpets or trombones or whatever, and a pretty cool voice. This band had a fine personality from the start, and I'll sure be coming back to them some other time

Impeccable jazzy soft rock. I found it enjoyable and easy to listen to. Peg and Home at Last were favourites on this one.

I listened to this when it came out 12 years ago, and forgot about it until today. That will probably happen again.

Cool beats

Very fun album. Although I liked the self-titled a little bit more.

I like this for personal reasons, aand it's still a great album

This felt similar to Aja, which I got barely a week ago. But at least to me it feels more accessible. I liked it a little bit more

Lots of styles within the album, and the songs are so good and they flow so nicely.

A couple of good songs but for the most part inconsistent. The message that Speech wants to deliver at times feels well intentioned but other times it comes out as kind of bigoted. Still, it probably was an important album to balance out the scene back when it was released, and it is far from a bad listen.

A good 80s pop album, it has some great songs and not so very good ones, but it always delivers. I was going to give this a 3 but after The Look of Love (Part 1) it does get better.

The first time I listened to the Pixies I was about 13 years old. The sound guy at a concert I had gone to kept playing Gigantic over and over on the speakers while we were waiting for the band to come out. A couple of days later I got a comp for like 4dls and it was so good that I had to get their albums one by one. Surfer Rosa was the one that caught my attention the most -wouldn't know why- and so it was the first I got. It holds a very special place in my heart since then

I may have a new favourite punk album

I'm giving this album a 2 purely because the social and cultural impact that it seems to have achieved; cause it appears it has helped a lot of people getting through hard times and that is sometimes more than enough. The music is pretty generic, to say the least, and the intentions I cannot tell at times. But yeah, whatev, I guess I'm never getting Bruce Springsteen.

This is such a fine album. But I kind of always felt it's missing something, as much sense as that may make.

Nice compilation that shows a talented and young Davis. I liked it. It has a nice mix of energetic and smooth.

I liked it. I felt like it was an influence to some of the bands I listened in middle school, like At the Drive-In or The Fall of Troy. The sound here, compared to other punk bands from the era begins to feel a little more complex, like it's taking some things from progressive rock. And while the musicians from Drive Like Jehu aren't virtuosos, they do a pretty good job making the album flow.

This has been the third Steely Dan album I get in less than a month (lucky me?), and so a part of me wanted to not like it because I kind of think 4 of their albums on the list is a little too much. But it was still pretty nice.

Nice album. It's playful and fun art-pop. And it just feels good overall, even if it may not be as sophisticated as her later work.

The Cure are known for making music to feel sad to. Considering only that, this might probably be the most Cure album there is. It's certainly not the most accessible one if you're just in the middle of a regular day; but the feelings, the talent, the passion, and everything that makes an album great is here. If what you're looking for is just a slightly gloomy album, you'd be better off listening to Disintegration, but if you're having a bad day and just want something to go along with it, it doesn't get any better than this. And the drums, oh, the drums.

The beats were my favourite thing in this record. The lyrics are fun and clever most of the time. But I'm not a fan of some the rapping in here; in my opinion it's what makes this album feel kind of flat. Still, I think that this is a great album to get introduced to hip.hop. I read somewhere that this is an album even your mom would like, and that's probably right at least for a couple of tracks.

A nice album. I was reading that Bowie catalogued this as a phase after having done extensive touring across the US and getting more into soul music. As far as I know there are not any other albums from him that take on this style of music as much as this one. And he does it quite nicely for having come from such different styles over his previous albums.

If there is something like ambient.pop then I think this fits in it. Though the lyrics and the structure of the album didn't caught my attention that much while listening to it, it kept me in a nice place the whole time. I don't think this is anything revolutionary or spectacular but it's nice enough I guess.

I had listened to this one a couple of times before and it has always made me feel good. Overall a pretty fun album.

From the cover I thought this was going to be some kind of twee.pop, so I was kind of surprised as I started to listen. It's a nice collection of chill dance beats coupled with a pleasant voice. Nothing against this one.

Pretty cool music. I think I had never heard a song from this album despite not being a complete stranger to The Chemical Brothers. But I think it's pretty neat.

Fun soul jazz, it even feels kind of funky at times.

Punk is a genre that in my opinion has seen its potential wasted a lot of times over the years, a ton of bands make music that sounds the same since the 70s. I liked a couple of songs, but most of it just felt boring and uninventive.

Fun album. It sounds exactly how I think 80s-90s transition should have sounded like.

I have to say first that I don't like Jack White as a person, it seems to me like he's an arrogant douchebag that thinks too high of himself and his music. And though I find this album just a little bit too long, I have to admit that it is good. Maybe it's my 9 year old self's fault that tried to listen and listen to this until I got convinced that it was cool. But yes, I think that this was important to music and well it has Seven Nation Army which somehow became kind an hymn to 2000s rock.

It has been quite hard for me to catalogue and rate so many punk albums being that I'm not very fond of the genre, but this one was not so bad. I mean, it's good and it doesn't get tiring or anything like that at all.

It is such a nice and calming album, and Fiona's voice is so nice too. Is an easy listen if you're doing other stuff, but if you want to pay attention it also has nice parts that you can follow without it feeling boring.
