I get why it is here and I appreciate it but I don’t wanna listen to it anymore

I respect them and remembered some of the songs from when I was a kid. But so far this has been the most difficult to wade through in its entirety.

Really enjoyable. Embarrassingly I only knew Rockit. This is really good

Didn’t think I’d like it, pleasantly surprised. Listened to it twice

This is why I’m here. Never would have listened to them, thought I knew

appreciated, but unexciting, warmed over.

Sum is greater than smiths individuals. Marr really pulls it together

Always loved early Gabriel solo stuff as I came of age. stopped listening. nice to hear with Phil and the other dudes.

Wonderful. I’m from the 70s so miss stay missed this genre. Listened to it 3 times today

Not fair reading albums you loved before this list

Appreciated, not my thing. Going to listen to again though

Didn’t know it. Great to listen to while diving into data to see what it is telling us

I listened to it twice but couldn’t hear it. Just became background. I should try again.

No expectations and found it very enjoyable. Always enjoyed having a horn section. Ended up listening to a lot of his other stuff. I’m glad I’m listening to these

Really enjoyable. Embarrassingly I only knew Rockit. This is really good

Started out indifferent, but as the guest musicians joined I found it much more enjoyable

Always good to have piano in there

So nice that someone finds the uniqueness of Bjork and shares with the world.

Didn’t think I’d like it. I liked it

My black olives again. Everyone loves them but me. I keep trying them, still find them meh. This is Joan Baez for me.

Wonderful. I’ve listened to many SY, but not this one for some reason.

Loved it years ago, still good. Morrisey is still, well, difficult, but this album is really good

Really enjoyed it, many deja vu feelings of love/hate/funny that punk rock gave me. Never heard them before.

Not my music, but really good stuff. Lots of guitar

Didn’t remember the first time, read reviews before second. Agree with the background muzak, then read the young creative jazz fusion which helped me enjoy better. Solid 3

A little too pop-y for me, but it was solid.

Totally missed Marilyn in my musical journey. Very enjoyable, interesting wiki background.

Great stuff. Didn’t know it. Jived with the Tribe called Quest and Digable Planets stuff I enjoy.

Much better than expected.

Mediocre, I want to like it. Solid 3

I really tried to like it. After reading the reviews. Hated it.

Not fair when one of the most significant albums to me comes up on this list.

It was good. Ain’t Dylan or other famous folk, but solid.

It’s fine. I tried.

It’s nice. Love the 60s vibes

I’m not sure how, but I’m familiar with every song on here. I must’ve had the cassette. Jethro Tull has such depth and combinations of genres. Really good stuff. Me likey

They’re good at playing what I’d consider, crap.

Really really hated it. And I like everything.

Never heard of him. I’m on my 10th listen in 2 days. Really really enjoyable.

+1 star as Ive always seen this album in the record store (near the meat puppets?). I appreciate it, but not necessarily like it.

Surprisingly hated it

Initial 3, minor interest in the genre. Later after reading positive reviews and a couple more listens- 4 stars. There is a lot of different going on both in each track, and across tracks.

Of the 415 albums so far. This is the worst…and I love almost everything

Great album. I feel like they should have mixed different to make the lyrics better understood. Recommend listening with the lyrics option turned on

Grandpas music. I think of him. Good stuff

My first PG album experiences as a middle schooler from my cool older sister. Wonderful bonding with this album. Sadly the commercially successful SO album was quite divergent and a bit of a let down. I haven’t heard this in years. So glad I’m listening to these- new hood ones, old loves, and sure- some I hate.

I was 13 when this came out. I was balls deep into zeppelin and never heard of this until I’m an old guy. Thanks 1001 thing. Thanks weed. Wonderful.

The link between VU and punk rock, like Hippy Johnny

I automatically dismiss Steely Dan, but this album was not horrible. Solid 3

This is why I’m doing this. Very interesting music from an interesting guy. Recommend reading the wiki about him

I’ve seen him in liner notes everywhere, but now I get it.

I consider Bruce Springsteen my black olive. Everyone loves it but me, but I keep trying it.

This is why I’m doing this.

What a wild ride! every kind of genre except death metal it seems. The Rap portion is not so cringy for me. It came out in 1984 (pre Public Enemy, NWA). This is what I’m here for.

This is what I’m here for.
