So opens with an all time classic and then is just indulgent studio wankery with no great melodies? And this guy dissed the Beatles?!
Not bad, couple of classics, not really my kind of thing
An old favourite - nice to revisit and one track made it into the wedding playlist
Way better than I thought it might be. A little bit cruise crooner in places, but also really beautiful in others
One legendary tune, several less impressive but not terrible
One of the first non-Beatles albums I ever bought. Still quite a lot of fun
Familiar in places and fun, but not one I'll go back to
Lots of Beatles and Who lifts, actually pretty good, would listen again
OK - little on the baggy and samey side - can't believe I've not listened to this before, I'm sure I had the CD!
What a banger - so many excellent samples from before when it was too expensive. Loved it
Not my lane at all. Musical muesli or wallpaper, just so bland. Didn't make it past track 3
Never really got these guys, and this hasn't helped explain how massive or important other people think they are
Pretty sure my dad had this on vinyl, not too bad, but quite proggy in parts. Won't listen again
Couple of excellent tracks, not as good as Harvest Moon though. Might listen again
An old favourite, not their best, but better than I remembered - starred at least one track I'd forgotten
They were never my thing, still aren't my thing nearly 30 years later
As ever with Floyd, you need to be in a certain mindspace, but this was the first time I've listened to all of it - can see how it is so popular. Not quite Wish You Were Here, but pretty good nonetheless
Had this on tape when I was in sixth form, and listened quite a bit. Wasn't a Smith's fan, and didn't buy another Morrissey album, but there's a couple of serious tunes on here, and listening in 2021 revealed layers of instrumentation and production I'd not heard before. Suedehead is a proper banger
Just not interested anymore. Someone has forgotten about beats and melody and having a sense of humour
Really enjoyed it - always thought Sheriff was a bit gimmicky - but the rest of the album is good solid drug induced blues. Peak Clapton
my dad owned this for years and I never listened, now I don't understand why not - some weird stuff yes, but also some pretty excellent stuff, reminiscent of late beatles, which is never a bad thing
Better than I expected, very tuneful - will listen again. More hints at the Beatles than I expected
OK - nothing amazing, was never that bothered about them and this doesn't change things
Really can't bring myself to care. They might be seminal, but I think it lacks fundamental melody or sophistication to me - just a lot of stomping and shouting
Oh, now this was really good - smokey jazzy bluesy - right up my street - a couple of tracks added to the favourites list
Already has two stone cold classics, the rest of it was not so special. Wasn't that impressed
Audio wallpaper - a couple of classic tracks, the rest felt like much of a muchness, won't be going on the rotation
How is this on the list? Obscure Aussie Jangle pop from the 90's? I guess the author has a soft spot. I don't
So opens with an all time classic and then is just indulgent studio wankery with no great melodies? And this guy dissed the Beatles?!
Duller than I expected - couple of hits, but the rest of it was a bit slow and with unexpectedly poor production
Had to download it - not on Spotify. Proper good stuff this - very funky, very groovy and politically on point all these years later
All time classic - owned it on vinyl, and I don't care if he's cancelled, there are some serious tunes on here especially if you go past the obvious ones
Some proper bangers from the old days - better than I remembered and holding up well after 20 years
Simply brilliant, as usual. will be listening again and crossing my fingers for a ticket to the return tour - one of the best live bands I've ever seen
Very odd - been in my life for 50 years because my muso dad was on the good drugs. Never listened. Might not listen again.
Really enjoyed it - i guess I'm getting used to Indian music, but the overall vibe was of a chic curry house - one I'd like to eat at!
Too heavy for me - even the famous tracks. I can only work with Black Album Metallica, everything else just feels a bit too aggressive
Tricky to listen now he's dropped off Spotify. Always like a bit of grumbling canadian - this is no different, no absolute bangers though, so just 3 stars
Fun - excellent moody atmospheric opener and then some pretty standard funk by numbers jobs
80's muso nonsense, with that one banger. The rest of it just doesn't have the funk of ABC or the melody of Tears for Fears. Won't be listening again
Familiar, never really been my lane, but not terrible by any means
Familiar, already know and love a couple of the best tracks - rest are a bit meh
Surprisingly good vs what I expected - almost similar to White Denim in the quality of musicianship and how tight the band are. Acceptable punk, but I don't think it really is punk
banger - so much excellent groovy bass happening. quite odd as a concept, but enjoyed the listen
Nice soundscapes - no idea what they're singing about and unlikely to listen again, but not inoffensive
Not as bad as Metallica's listing I had to listen to, but still well short of the melody I prefer in my music
Oh dear. not for me. at all. and I like country music
3rd Polly album in the list, can't be too many more? Supposed to be her best, I think I prefer the edgier stuff - couple of good tunes on here. Not likely to go into my listening rotation though
Had this on tape as a kid from my dad's collection. Weird and seems deliberately jokey and quirky - some interesting tracks in there but feels a bit tiresome generally
Not terrible, not amazing - some very 90's references and attitudes. Clearly very proud of Brooklyn. Will not be listening again
Nope - shouty unsophisticated crap - or at least the first track was. 2nd feels a bit more interesting into the two central massive tunes with more music and less screaming, much better glad I listened to this - I'm relistening already
An old friend, still sounds as good as it did when I was 18, perhaps a bit juvenile, but does that matter. Side 1 is streets ahead of side 2.
zzzzzz - what on earth is this? audio wallpaper, and not especially pretty stuff either
Erm - beats that take me back to being obsessed with Acid Jazz, but four tracks in and I've lost interest. Other people did this better, regardless of the language they rapped in
Does what it says on the tin. Think I owned this on CD, but never really listened because white boy metal rapping is just not good. They can be good when being melodic, but otherwise it isn't my lane. Was happy when Spotify started playing 'similar' music at the end of the album
Not my thing at all - they all sound remarkably similar
Not bad, not as good as the predecessor which I loved as a younger man
Not quite what I thought it would be. Some bangers from back in the day, but not as groovy and not quite as much fun as later albums would be
Loved it when I was a younger man - saw them play it live - not quite as magical through the lens of time, but still pretty good in places. Mad as lorries, and delightfully so
Must be good - except for the track with 41 million listens, as I've had it on repeat for a couple of days now and added one or two liked tracks
Odd - a couple of wonderful beach boys elements, but the rest is just fragments. It was never going to beat or be in the same league as Pepper
Knew more tracks than I thought I would. Never been a big Dylan fan, can't get past the lack of melody having been raised on McCartney. Not terrible though
Some familiar stuff, some batshit crazy stuff, but throughout there is a groove and some insane guitar work. Lots of fun when the songs go for it
Insane to think this was 1969, it is still more innovative and interesting than most of the stuff from the past 40 years - they clearly had much better drugs
An example of how a legacy can be ruined. I loved their first single and didn't even notice how much of a prat Chris Martin could be - he was just posh with some cracking tunes. On a relisten, some excellent standouts and a happy bit of nostalgia - shame subsequent events mean this album is effectively cancelled for people with good taste
Very good - lots of bangers and markers for the future of rock for 1965
Own this on vinyl, from my muso blues fan teenage years. Classic blues - not a lot of variety, I think I only ever really played Mannish Boy
Double listen - nearly perfect in places, almost too twee in others. Never listened before, couple of truly electric moments.
Ugh - never liked him, don't understand how he's held up as a legend
Owned this, kinda liked it when it came out, but really not that good in retrospect. Pretentious
Not bad, bit long winded in places now. Was absolutely massive when it came out - carved out a new genre
Fun in it's own way - nothing ground breaking, but I guess it was 1978. Nothing tagged to be added as a favourite. Don't understand the hype around these guys except for Murica F Yeah
Weird but superb, a couple of spine tingling moments. Who knew that weird guitar jam with latin beats and a lunatic would be so compelling
An old favourite, but I am not sure I ever listened to it end to end - vinyl was a pain Still good - might prefer later stuff
What a load of nonsense. beats that go nowhere. can't tell the difference between tracks. Not a clue why this is on the list - I'm 100 days in and haven't had anything by the Beatles or Stones
Interesting mix of white boy groove and african stuff - must have been very interesting in the early 80s. Nothing to get too excited about though
Some good beats, clearly setting a template for a lot of what we're still hearing now. Big stars too. He's an angry dude though, lost his sense of humour when he got successful
Yes, all very good and fine, but really not my kind of thing. All sound very samey
More audio wallpaper - washed right over me and nothing annoyed or offended me, but neither did anything grab by attention
Fun samples, vintage beats, but again this is nothing earth or butt shaking. Never heard it before, won't be listening again
Very good, top guitar work and not as arty or as wanky as I expected it to be!
Ugh - was never interested in these guys. If this is their best work, then good luck to their legions of fans. I need beat and a melody in order to elevate music above being wallpaper
Good stuff and bad stuff and amazing stuff. Very familiar having a father like mine
Fun for what it is. Was revolutionary, feels very vintage now, and quite misogynist. Again, nothing starred into my favourites
OK, nothing amazing. Much prefer other female singer songwriters
Yes, OK - apparently seminal, but not a patch on Zeppelin, who must have stolen their better tunes
Absolute classic - with an arc in the middle that is simply peerless
Not my thing at all, some well known classics, but I never bought into the whole thing. Music for nutters
I owned this as a student - an investment in a CD, I kind of liked it then but it wasn't a favourite. Listening again, 3 good songs, the rest are less interesting
Not my lane, I'm sure it's OK for people who like a crooner, but simply too schmaltzy
Not as good as I expected it to be, nothing stood out
Good stuff, liked it originally, still does goes stuff for me
One great track, couple of other interesting ones, sounds like one foot in the 80s and one in a different time. Not bad, won't be listening again though
Noodly doodly, some familiar elements, but not really my bag
Not terrible. Quite Juvenile. Not likely to ever roll it with my homies ever again
Couldn't bring myself to listen, I can do without the diabetic shock. I liked it back in the day, but I'm as far from torch ballads as I can be at the moment
Vintage banger, not quite as good as the earlier stuff - and way too popular with mouthbreathers for my elevated sense of musical taste. Cant deny some of the tunes though, however much of a prat he was
I can't do this to myself, the sniggering idiocy of the introduction was enough
Never heard of it, listened to it, realise why I'd never heard of it.
Pretty good - clearly enjoy a jam jazz rock folk album or two. One track added to the roster
I loved this as a teenager - the soundtrack to many a ZX Spectrum gaming session - but listening now, it just feels a bit limp and odd and the opposite of what I find compelling in music
OK - not listened before, but it is a bit 'grunge by numbers' for my taste
Had this since I was 17 - only ever played 2 tracks. Listening back, I understand why. Lovely where it counts, not that interesting anywhere else
An album from 1967 that I haven't heard of? Impossible, unless it turns out to be this load of old tosh - what on earth am I supposed to take away from this? Derivative and irritating
Good, manufactured in places, quite samey throughout, but a couple of tracks made me sit up and take notice
Some lovely old grooves, but it is a bit samey and just washes over you
Had this, loved it, but actually, loved just a couple of them. I seem to have gone past this kind of music now
They never really hit for me - always seemed to be style over substance
Oh.......my........god - dude, I hope these songs all got you laid. Definitely not my bag
