Meh

A little too emo-experimental for my taste

Enya mixed with Metric and produced in the 80s

Too folk for me

First 2 or 3 tracks are "OK, cool. I can dig this". The 5th track (Smoke em) has a sample of some bell or tone that repeats incessantly through the entire song. After that I just couldn't get past the repetitive nature of the rest of the album. Good to have a song or two mixed in on a playlist but I can't do a whole album

Very "experimental 60's"

I get why people like him and can appreciate the music but his iconic voice is a bit much after an hour straight. The music changes but every song the vocals sound too similar

I can hear a lot of modern bands in this. Sounds like they would fit in with any time period between 1980 and 2000. Heavy Clash vibes

Good ol' Johnny

Bluesy, bluegrass elements. Easy to listen to

I just don't get it. This is her second album I've come across on the 1001 list and I'm only about 40 albums deep. Just don't see the appeal. Not terrible but I certainly wouldn't label them as "must listens"

Pixies meets Sonic Youth

Lyrics on this are surprisingly graphic for 1968. Still unsure why he has a second album on this list

Avante garde from the 70s. Just not for me

60+ years of great music to choose from with many, many studio albums and they pick a live album from the 60's that sounds like it was recorded by some guy holding a microphone stageside

Broad spectrum of genres crammed onto a single album. Somehow works

I listen to them and try but it's hard to take another hour plus album of electronica. I have no doubt that it reaches some. Just not me

Attempting to listen while placing myself in the era makes a difference. Flutes must have been all the rage back then

I'm a big Metallica fan but was skeptical of a live album. The accompanying orchestra suits it surprisingly well

Every song has this sound in the background that I can only describe as a pigeon cooing or maybe "underwater" bubbling. I suppose it was the 60's and everyone was experimenting with new sounds and formulas but this one got annoying REALLY quickly. Unfortunately, once heard I couldn't concentrate on anything else

A couple catchy tracks (the last three) but no real head turners

Meh

First one I've given a single star. This was bad

Interesting concept

Fucking Beach Boys....

Apparently I just have a soft spot for 70's disco/funk

Strange progression from jazzy piano blues to proto-hiphop about halfway through the album. Not sorry I listened but could take it or leave it

Good enough for background music but I honestly don't see what the big deal was. Certainly not worthy of a cultural phenomenon spanning years and years

No clue. Not on Spotify

Likely an unpopular opinion but I can't be the only one who thinks if you've heard one Bob Marley song you've heard them all. Nothing against the man and the music but it seems to me you could probably take two or three songs from any album in his discography and unless you know the words to sing along wouldn't be able to tell the difference

I really try but most of the time can't power through these experimental albums from the 60's

Another Bob Dylan album. See my previous description

Killing Joke

On album #141 and already at Dylan #3 ffs

Surprisingly enjoyable

Not on Spotify

An hour long album with only four tracks. If improvisational jazz is your thing look no further

Songs about drinking too much and fighting with your "best girl"

If you like Oasis then you'll like Charlatans

Surprised by this one

I'm sure it's for someone. Just not me

I just don't see the big deal

Not on Spotify and I'm not hunting it down

40 minutes on 4 songs

Enjoyed this more than expected

One reggae album is as good as the next

Some of the songs are a little long winded but overall not bad

Not bad but a little longer than necessary at times. Reminds me of Local H

Removed from Spotify

No longer on Spotify

It isn't bad but does anyone REALLY need multiple +7 minute songs on one electronic album?

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. 80s synth-pop at its finest

Interesting

Just what I needed after Linkin Park and Black Sabbath

I made it through the first disc of a two disc album. I tried but just couldn't do it

Enjoyed it more than the last Nick Cave album that was suggested but at almost an hour and a half it seemed a little long at times

Enjoyed it more than I expected

The first couple tracks start off strong but it quickly declines around #6 or 7.

Moody and near "spoken word". I just don't see the fascination

Yet another D&B album that I "must" listen to

I know he's supposed to be the man and all but F-me some of these songs drag by

A lot of whispering and soft singing like it was building to something. I kept waiting for something to happen....
