Stevie WonderI always wanted to like him more than I did. Just never quite worked for me.

Not his best but even his lesser stuff is better than most people's peaks.
Soooooo boring.
My favorite of her albums and that's saying something. Brilliant songwriter and wonderful singer.
Brilliant. Purchased immediately after listening.
I never cared for these guys. I don't like the vocals or the sensibility. Very depressing stuff.
Not there best by far but had a few great songs on it (Take me to the river). Kind of uneven.
Very early stuff. Sounds like a lot of other people of the era.

Hasn't really stood the test of time. They needed the addition of Neil Young to work. Just like Buffalo Springfield where the songs that Neil Young wrote were brilliant and ones that Stephen Stills wrote were hot garbage.
One of the seminal albums of the period and my favorite of theirs. They are one of the few groups that can legitimately claim to have changed the course of popular music. So many classic songs and an almost perfect album.

Gotta love Jon Spencer - totally off the wall chaotic rock and roll. I hadn't heard this one but really liked it.
Totally different from anything else he did. Frank does jazz.
Meh
Didn't age all that well.
Pretty good but not quite enough to make me go buy it.
Pretty good stuff. I always wanted to like him more than I do.
Made it through 1 1/2 songs and then gave up. Horrible.
OK but nothing too special.
Not bad but nothing too special.
Great live album from a brilliant band.
Not their very best but still has some classic songs on it.
After what I consider one of the all time great debut albums - Funeral, they came out with the truly awful (flat, boring, insipid) second effort Neon Bible. Apparently the band agreed with me as in the four times I've seen them they've never played a song from Neon Bible. The Suburbs was a return to form. Although not as strong as Funeral (which they've never equaled in my opinion), it is a strong album throughout.
They don't sound nearly as radical now as they did when they first recorded. I guess the rest of the world caught up with them.
My favorite of theirs. Beautiful album with the typical Flaming Lips whimsy.
Meh - trying to be all things to all audiences.
Even though it was the forerunner of reggae which I love, I've never really cared for ska. Too poppy and almost like novelty music.
Some classic songs and some fluff.
Early latin crossover success story.
I owned this on vinyl back in the day. They were supposed to be part of the new English folk movement. But where Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, Pentangle and others were doing great memorable music, these guys were doing hippy wanking. Embarrassing - I could only stand to listen to the first 6 or 7 tracks.
Soooooo boring.

Okay but kind of a wanna be for me. Not a lot of substance to go with the style.
Embarrassing. Self indulgent pap proving bad music can be made in every period.
Always had a soft spot for Willie.
Undoubtedly talented but not my genre.
Pretty good stuff. Some songs I liked quite a bit and some kind of grated.
Didn't do much for me.
Pretty good
Really shows their roots. Pretty good early bluesy rock and roll.
This is about the point where they lost me. I loved The Bends and OK Computer but after that they just got a little too downbeat and drony.
Pretty good but not quite enough to convince me to buy the album.
Classic bop with some timeless tunes.
Much greater than the sum of its parts. Really strong part of the era that has held up over time. Janis sure could wail.
I preferred this band before Rod Stewart joined them. That being said this album was made before Stewart became as objectionable (to me at least) as he did later when he got to be a star.
A classic for sure.
I liked her first one but this one not so much.
Not for me.
I can admire the artistry but not a genre I enjoy.
I always found these guys kind of lightweight new wave. Didn't really appeal to me.
Brilliant talent, great album.
Not my thing
My favorite Who album (up there with Live at Leeds). Roger Daltrey in prime form and Townsend wailing.
Kind of a novelty album
Pretty good stuff
Interesting - some good songs but a bit dated.
The second of his - sadly - scant recordings. He either committed suicide or accidentally overdosed on anti-depressants at 26 years old. He left behind three nearly perfect haunting, fragile albums of surpassing beauty. This was one of the all time greatest periods for British folk and he was very much in the heart of it.
After a brilliant debut album, this sophomore effort was a complete letdown. I've seen Arcade Fire 4 times and not once have they played a single song fro this album. Pretty much says all you need to know about it.
Not my favorite of theirs though it has a couple of absolute classic tracks (I can see for miles).
Musically pretty great, but my god what an asshole.
Kind of interesting.
Definitely of their era - think David Bowey, Roxy Music or a closer comparison might be Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. They're ok, just not really anything special.
One of his best for sure.
Their best album
Interesting enough that I'm going it another listen.
Brilliant stuff.
Brilliant - still my favorite Stones album. Stands up as well today as the day it was released.
meh
Not quite as great as I remember it from back in the day but still a very good album.
Meh. I've never been overly impressed by these guys.
He did one great album - his first. It was downhill from there as his massive ego slowly consumed him.
Kind of rooted in its era but totally unique as well.
My favorite of hers. Musically great and I love her politics.
