Pleasingly proggy, I wish I'd listened to it sooner.

A bit weird and shouty

I mean, all the Beatles albums are pretty good, aren't they?

This made no impression on me whatsoever

Good music, incomprehensible vocals; pretty standard Dylan

Pleasingly proggy, I wish I'd listened to it sooner.

Beautifully 60s. A good mix of big hits and weird trippy stuff.

Outside of the 3 single releases, this was really not what I was expecting. All felt a bit disjointed.

Definitely a grower - think I need to spend some more time with this one

Not background music - need another listen to appreciate properly. It's got a good vibe though.

I just didn't get it

Weirder than expected, but in a good way

I don't get it

A classic for a reason

Interesting, different, needs a few more listens to really get to grips with it

A bit weird and shouty

A pleasing folk mix

A lot of kinks I'd not heard - well worth a listen

Not what I was expecting, having only heard There She Goes before. Heavily inspired by the Kinks, and a good listen.

I mean, all the Beatles albums are pretty good, aren't they?

Good music, incomprehensible vocals; pretty standard Dylan

Without the vocals it would sound like a cyberpunk computer game soundtrack, and I don't think the vocals take anything away from that.

Not really my thing - ok background music

Not the best

Great fun, some nice classic rock and roll

A nostalgic classic - the man's a great poet

Worth another listen

Lovely piece of work, if a little sedate.

This made no impression on me whatsoever

Very interesting, much more than I was expecting

Pretty good, solidly early 90s sounding for such a recent album

Great groove, I should listen to more Kravitz

Unexpected and interesting

A lovely voice, but not a lot happened

More depth and dynamic than I would have given them credit for.

Weird

Even better than I remembered

Good variety of tracks, and more upbeat than I was expecting

Not what I was expecting

Pretty generic country, and the lyrics haven't aged well

A good wit, need more time with the lyrics but I like it

A bit of a classic really

Like many albums on this list, more varied than I would have expected

Not my thing, not that interesting, but fine

Not their most interesting

Not a strong start, but really picked up in later tracks

I quite Aerosmith, but this wasn't very inspiring

More bluesy and versatile than I was expecting

I need to listen to this a dozen more times to appreciate it properly I think.

I don't know why I don't listen to more Aerosmith

Great vibe

Absolute classic - had some great tracks I didn't remember too

I need to give this about 10 more listens to really understand what's going on, but it's far more interesting than I've previously given The Who credit for

Probably the best metal live album of all time

I don't find the Ramones that interesting. A single track is punchy, punky, and energetic. A whole album just becomes repetitive.

Absolute classic

Everyone knows that Hendrix was a hugely influential artist and an important part of music history, but sometimes you need to sit down with an album just to remind yourself how /good/ he was.

Given how iconic the title track and album cover are, I'm both surprised that I didn't know more of this, and surprised that I didn't find it that interesting. Possibly a grower though, if I gave it a few more listens.

I knew the big hits off this album, but I was surprised by the amount of depth there was across the rest. A lot more varied and complex than I would have expected.

Perfectly fine as background music, but not something I would chose to listen to. Would be a great backing to a movie scene exploring an old church. Basically, pretty much what you'd expect from the title.

With the notable exception of Changes, this is a cracking album,

Cool psychedelic sitar music - what's not to like?

Not bad as such, but just incredibly unremarkable. Not sure how it made the list.

I'd totally forgotten how many hits the Scissor Sisters had, and they're all on this album.

Punky with a definite rock and roll influence, I only knew a couple of tracks but had to give this a second listen.

Weirder and more psychadelic than I was expecting, but in a good way.

Absolute classic - a beautiful balance of prog weirdness with accessible musicality. Might just be their best album.

It's powerful, visceral, and for me a good hit of nostalgia. But is it actually good? No, not really. Good to jump around to for a song, but not an album to sit down and listen to.

Skipped half of the first track, gave up quickly on the second. Too weird for me today.

A classic for a reason, as it turns out.

Much more varied that I would have expected (having only heard Fun Lovin' Criminals and Scooby Snacks previously). I'll need a second listen to really get to grips with it.

No idea what's happening. 10/10 no additional questions

Pleasantly weird but actually quite forgettable

Confusing but I liked it

Inoffensive wafty pop, fairly enjoyable

Slightly confusing but a good listen

Weirder than anticipated
