This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I get a lot of the same feelings from this that I had as a child at our evangelical Christian church (I'm an atheist now). I thought those feelings of joy, excitement, and wonder came from God and Jesus but it was really the music and stories. What a wild story Tommy is and the music is fucking great---love those instrumental tracks.

I was a big Beatles fan as a teen but wouldn't have bought this album for $2 at Half-price Books back then. I'm really wondering if trying to listen to all 1,078 albums here is largely a waste of my time because this is yet another 2 (I use the Goodreads scale: 1=didn't like it, 2=it was OK, 3=liked it, 4=really liked it, 5=it was amazing.) How can something so pedestrian be a 'must hear' album?

Synthesizers, yeahhhh. Maybe a Gen X thing, but the video-gamey sounds in 'Love is a Stranger' and 'I Could Give You' are THE BEST. The subway noises in 'This City Never Sleeps' are very pleasing. I always loved the single Sweet Dreams and I'm glad it fits into the rest of the album well. Love Lennox's voice, especially when she does her own backing vocal.

Astral Weeks
Van Morrison
This may be #19 on Rolling Stones' 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, but I haaaaaate it. Van's voice is all over the place and the instruments sound equally haphazard; every musician seems to be in their own little world. The harpsichord on 'Cyprus Avenue' is insufferable, partly because the song is 67 minutes long. Oh, holy shit, 'Madame George' is even longer. Really not looking forward to when his other two albums pop up after this miserable mess.

Listened to this one twice---mono first then stereo and really liked it both times. I think I like the mono mix better but the stereo version is better quality sound. I previously avoided The Kinks b/c of only having access to deluxe/super deluxe/expanded versions; makes for annoying last.fm scrobbles and I don't like having to look up what the original album included and then have save a playlist to avoid the extra, unneeded tracks later. Anyway, I really liked People Take Pictures of Each Other and Big Sky, which has been in my head all weekend. I think I like this as much as my previous favorite Kinks, Muswell Hillbillies.

Somewhere in disc 2 I had to start hitting 'next' after half a song and even that was tough to get through.

I knew the US & UK versions had different covers but was surprised to learn they had some different tracks and track ordering. Never occurred to me in 30 years of listening to AYE despite knowing Beatles albums did this. So, today I listened to the original North America track order and afterwards the original UK order. Unsurprisingly I prefer the NA order. Purple Haze and The Wind Cries Mary in the NA version are vastly superior to Can You See Me and Remember in the UK version. North American version is a 5 and one of my favorites of all time; UK version is a 4.5 and rounds to a 5. Third Stone From The Sun is possibly my favorite song of all time.

Frampton Comes Alive
Peter Frampton
Interesting to finally listen to this ubiquitous LP from my used record buying days. I was sometimes tempted to pick it up b/c it was always cheap and I thought the talkbox was cool (I think Baby I Love Your Way persuaded me not to?). Not great but not completely terrible.

Early Pink Floyd seems to have a similar sense of humor to early Kinks, which I like, but this isn't an album I'll listen to often. I like that there's a song about Barrett's cat (Lucifer Sam) and I'm saving that one.

I love The Clash but realized that 60% of my scrobbles are from London Calling. This one never stuck with me as much. At some point the UK version became the default used by streaming services and that kinda threw me; I liked Clash City Rockers, I Fought the Law, and (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais more than the songs they replaced.

I really hate it when reissues add another albums or 2 worth of tracks and give the album the same damn title.

Anyway, gonna have to listen to this again as I've always dug I Wanna Destroy You.

A lot of people are reviewing anniversary/expanded/deluxe versions of albums and then complaining about the length or some crappy bonus track. Just listen to only the original album release after looking it up at musicbrainz.org or http://1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie.wikidot.com/index. For this one that saves you from having to listen to Jailbait again.

I didn't have MTV but still bathed in this post Kurt death, and again when the LP was released---with two more songs, woo! I love it but it also makes me sad to listen so I can't very often.

The Bends
Radiohead
I love Kid A and OK Computer and Amnesiac is pretty great too. I've listened to The Bends six or seven times and don't find it at all compelling. After this listen I wondered, "Do I even like this band?" If Radiohead hate is based on this album then I kinda get it. The vocals drown out all the music, which seems compressed or smooshed down by distortion and makes it hard to notice anything interesting, if there's anything there. It's just boring.

Only By The Night
Kings of Leon
Absolutely cannot stand dude's voice. Might be specific to this album's production because the other two albums didn't grate like this.

One of those "I don't understand the high praise" albums for me. The instruments blur to the background and the vocals and lyrics are bland.

Don't try to reconstruct the original album release from what's currently available on streaming. Doing so adds 6+ minutes of banter that kills the original flow. Reconstructed 6 song playlist gets only 2 stars IMO.
