Let's all put on clothing made of foil and zoom around on our hoverboards
The title pretty much sums it up. A feast of whisky, penny whistle, folk and punk spirit. A classic example of a band at the peak of their powers.
White Stripes. So massive, so popular and.................. I never understood it. Bores the pants off me
Didn't really "get" it. Sure, nice enough concept, but one of the best 1001 albums ever?
Obviously has the major breakthrough hits, weaker 2nd side for me.
One of the all-time great albums. So much dark angst.
Very much evokes the era it was released - had forgotten how good tracks like Norway and Lover of Mine are.
Why no 6 star option. Clearly one of the all time greatest albums.
Not much genre per se, but entire album shows the amazing craftsmanship they had
It has "Kids" and "Time to Pretend". Not much more to be said really, a luscious slice of indie electro pop
Decent enough singer/songwriter fare whilst not particularly my bag.
It's fine. Bowie not my bag though.
Smoooooooth. Lovely Latin vibes and very chilled.
Hey Siri, play me what the 60's sounded like.
Meh - middle of the road country / rock cross-over. Why did this make the list?
Classic "roots" vibes. Crack open a can of Lilt and enjoy.
Gravelly voice? Check. Bucket load of synth? Check. One of the biggest albums of the 80s? Check.
Bleep, blip, bloop, but with funk and soul
Yep, 100% understand why this is on the list. Wave after wave of dreamy sounds. I don't have a magic carpet, but if I did, I imagine this would be the soundtrack to riding on it.
Classic 90's "pop-rock". Obviously Mrs Robinson the most well known / loved track here (and for good reason - a great cover) but the whole album is full of gems.
Didn't really "get" it. Sure, nice enough concept, but one of the best 1001 albums ever?
One of the greatest greatest. As any fule no.
A cracking blend of big band swing and jazz. Not a genre I'm normally familiar with but loved this. In modern parlance - "an absolute banger"
The title pretty much sums it up. A feast of whisky, penny whistle, folk and punk spirit. A classic example of a band at the peak of their powers.
Really? One of the best ever? Kravitz is an incredible frontman seen live, but this is just generic rock right? Conclusion : it's OK.
Not my favourite genre, but can appreciate that this guy is one of the legends and it being a live album makes it that little bit more special.
For some almost biblical in it's awesomeness. For me, decent alt-rock.
Why? Why are you making me listen to another Bowie album?
Angry, gritty, full of emotion. Hadn't listened in a long time, but this is still a great album.
Ah, absolutely classic dirty R&B. Channels peak Stones from a few years earlier and if "Sweet Emotion" doesn't get you grooving round the house / in the car, well, I can't help you.
Slightly puzzled that this one made the cut. It's OK, with a heavy 60s R&B vibe but nothing that made it stand out for me.
Slightly too young to appreciate first time around ("Dad, why is that woman screeching on TOTP?") but absolutely deserves all the love and praise heaped on it over the years. The opening 3 tracks alone mean it fully deserves its spot on this list.
Didn't like the first time around, don't like them now.
Wonderfully camp, Euro electro. Can only imagine what it must have been like hearing this deep in the middle of the prog and glam rock era.
Not as great as I'd hoped. Obviously familiar with the Funkadelic / Parliament combo, but can't say this set the heart pumping.
I remember everyone getting very excited by this at the time of release. I like it, the voice is great the production is great. That said, I still don't quite "get it" - the thing that elevates it from good to great.
Nice enough background music (listened whilst cracking on with some work one afternoon). Doesn't do enough for me to lift it into the "elite" category though.
Absolutely one of the greatest albums of all time. The songwriting, the harmonies - a stunning piece of work
Haven't listened to this album in an age. "Another Girl, Another Planet" is one of the all time great punk songs. Nothing else hits that high, but still a great album.
Held in high esteem by some, merely an average late-60's / early-70s band to my tastes.
Distinctive voice for sure, but a hard one to love. Certainly evocative and laid-back, but also too avant-garde for me.
Fabulous chilled album that makes me wish I'd been old enough to go to Ibiza when it came out.
A little slice of sunshine on a chilly London day.
Spiky jarring post-punk. Not an easy listen, but the influence on a lot of 2000s bands is clear.
Hmmmm. An attempt to sound like the British blues bands of the 60's but 30 years later. It's not terrible, but it doesn't really improve on the originals.
One of the voices of the 60's - instantly recognisable and some of the best known songs of the era. Not sure how well it's aged, but certainly worthy of inclusion.
Loved reading the other reviews for this. I can fully see both sides that this is (a) a slice of prog rock genius and (b) the reason why punk needed to come along and shake things up a bit. Wonderful nonsense.
Stunning example of electronica. Completely game changing - who knew that Germans could be so cool ;)
Fabulous album - incredibly creative people capturing the sound and zeitgeist of the late-60s
If you don't like this, then frankly, there's no help for you. Absolutely rattles along with dirty funky riffs galore.
Soulful, groovy, funky. Soundtrack to a 70s dinner party.
Grooving rockabilly. "Up Around the Bend" the stand-out for me (and the only track I'd really heard before) but the whole album is full of gems.
The sound of psychedelia. Perhaps not quite as good as their earlier "classic pop" but still beautiful harmonies.
Stripped back, early hip-hop. Despite not being my favourite genre, hard to not appreciate this.
Obviously now on an absolutely massive pedestal, but easy to see why. Powerful vocals, great writing. Perhaps not quite worthy of being held up as high as it is, but a fabulous album nonetheless.
INJECT THE METAL DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS GRRRRRRRRRRRR
Is it hip-hop? Is it jazz? Is it funk? Is it ALL of them in some kind of gritty dinner party album? Excellent work of art.
"Iiiiiiiiiiiii don't know the answer to that question." Ah, the 80s. Not all tracks hit the heights, but still one of the best examples of that early New Wave sound.
Epic is clearly the, well, epic track here, but a great example of the beginning of the "nu-metal" / rock & hip-hop cross over genre.
A legendary band for sure, blazing a trail for others but........ this gets pretty samey no?
Oh god, my face just MELTED. Only really got into them with Fat of the Land, but obviously this is a belter if you want to gurn yourself silly into the small hours
