this wasn't available on spotify, so I listened to their next album, "The Real Ramona" instead - and it was great! Poppy, angsty, varied, a bit tortured and discordant

Haunting, beautiful, intimate

Steady, sing-to-the-mic 90s rock. I kinda enjoyed it, but it didn't really touch me.

Ugh, rap.

They sound like a mediocre garage band down the street; I don't see the appeal.

Simple, classic flower child music

Fun, upbeat, dated

wistful, yet upbeat - the vocals somehow blend into the music as just another instrument. At the same time, there is a coldness and distance to the sounds...

Half rock, half Country. It was ok, lightly enjoyable but uninteresting.

What was that? Jamaican electronic dance music? It was great.

I am beginning to appreciate hip-hop

A good 70s rock album: fun, enjoyable, not memorable.

Easy metal

Breathy, simple, kinda boring.

Meh - mediocre 80s rock.

Archetypal Western music, beautifully done

Ok singer-songwriter

Fun 80s pop, but by a ver creepy Prince. ick.

Meh.

Interesting - indie with touches of... other things. Haunting and beautiful.

Simplistic; didn't touch me.

Simple, enjoyable, flowing 70s music. Nostalgic for a time I wasn't part of.

Fun electronica

Classic hard rock

something different, fun and cheerful

A lovely, nostalgic siger-songwirter, with a grandiosity of sound

sings like he's having sex right there in the recording studio - it's a bit much

A good voice, otherwise ok

Lovely country tones with a genuine voice

fun!

that was weird but kinda neat

I don't enjoy angry rap

Fun, unique!

Fun pop

A real american twang

That was fun!

weird, interesting...

Sexy 70s

oh so country - oldie classic country

Meh slightly punky croons

If I try hard, I can see why my grandparents would have been moved by this. But its a stretch for me.

this wasn't available on spotify, so I listened to their next album, "The Real Ramona" instead - and it was great! Poppy, angsty, varied, a bit tortured and discordant

Fun!

enjoyable, moody

Fun, unusual albub!

Fun, light

Classical Indian meets Rock - lovely!

Fun, interesting mix

Fun, simple glam rock

Melancholy folky

Very.... electronic. OK.

beautiful, nostalgic melancholy

Fun!

Interesting - Jamaican Reggae (maybe?) with some hip-hop/light rap.

Fun, light oldie-ish

Feels a little cold and emotionless somehow

Ok britpop

Fun brit-pop

It goes on and on, but captures that weird mixture of persistent drive and ennui. Beautiful in its own way.

Great, fun classic Jazz

run of the mill Brit-pop

yeah, yeah, brit alt-rock. good example, uninspiring to me.

beck is beck

tired classics

meh

Beautiful, flowing classic rock... like a waterfall.

light and fun!

interestingly weird, like a modern art museum piece, but didn't speak to me

Good jazz, very classic stype

Intimate and melancholy - I had a good cathartic cry triggered by this album. Thanks, Nick Drake.

Haunting, beautiful, intimate

Interesting and unusual, although it didn't speak to me

4 - nice easy listen

80sish rock/singer-songwriter/Country

He may have been a cultural icon for his time... but I'm not of his time.
