would give this album a 6 if i could

4.5

i mean, it's a solid xmas album

powerhouse album

could put this on and vibe all day

ne plus ultra

4.5? 4.7? Not quite a solid 5 but the songs that make it a 5 are a 7

i dig it

3.5

4.5

Fine Pop album.

Great timing. Was just gifted this on Vinyl. A classic, this is what this list is for. 4.5/5 I had no idea Gangster's Paradise was sampled from this album

When HipHop was good. This album could be 5-stars based on it's clear influence on HipHop over the next 10 years alone. On the other hand it is quite silly.

Honestly, a 5 for Tuesday's Gone alone. This whole album is fire, tho.

oof that was a slog. Could see enjoying it after a few pints, tho.

4.5. Some all time greats and a few duds

undeniably a great voice, but those songs, woof

3.5

I used to blast this in the shower while getting ready for high school. Ahhh, youth.

one of the best

I dig it. this speaks to the robot in me.

an album of Bond Film Intros

always appreciate experimentation, this one's just not for me

i mean, it's no Children of Bodom, but I get why it's here

classic post-modern album

4,5

That was silly

i always confuse this band with My Chemical Romance and was dreading this listen. Imagine my surprise!

4,5

wanted to like this album more than I really did. Still a solid album. Student Demo and Feel Flows top it for me.

80s before the 80s were the 80s

These guys were on another plane

we will never forget tonight

Ahhh, to be an angsty teenager again. brings me back.

3.5

The Police are not for me. Cartoon band.

How had I never heard of this band or album before??

4.5

Talk about a no-brainer entry to this list

3.5

4.5

3.5

Little Wing on it's own makes this a 5-star album, and then there are all the other songs. Jimi, Mitch and Noel knew what was up

Antonio deserves better

4.5

I can still hear this album for the first time. Walking into a record store in Israel as a 13-year-old freshly-minted bar mitzvahed kid, asking what the locals were listening to. Riding on a bus that had to get rerouted due to a potential bomb on the road makes Bombtrack hit different.

Was not ready for this. Wow.

The 80's were weird times

4.5

easy 4

4.5

Back when K.O.L. were still decent

Harrison has always been my favorite Beatle

4.5

3.5

lol @ people rating this less than 5*

i was skeptical going into this. now I'm a believer.

2.5

idk just never really 'got' The Smiths

other than the song everyone knows, this is a bit of a bore

Well that's a trip!

love Brit but no, not to listen to

3.5

5, obviously

dude's just a biiiiit too into himself

3.5

did not need to listen to this before I died

joke band

i'll never understand how this voice had a successful career

wanted to like it more

great cover photo. is that Tom Brady?

5... ALL night long

too bad these guys became such tools

silly if nothing else. always some props to the artsy's

I mean, respect. Just not something I'd choose to listen to.

3.5

It's hard because I love Green Day and I'm happy for them but man this really marked the beginning of their mediocrity. Its almost good but you can just feel the 'sell out' dripping from it. annoying.

3.5

One of those artists I want to like but just can't seem to get in to

Reminds me of studying at Starbucks in highschool.

Funny, I just picked up the '69 pressing of this album a couple of days before it popped up here. Strange Brew indeed.

One of the songs on this album is "Fido Your Leash Is Too Long". Well, Magnetic Fields, this album is too long. Good, but too long.

I remember walking down La Cienaga around 2010, 2011 during a Fashion Week block party and seeing these two jamming this album in front of some store. Cut to 2023 watching them play the same album at the Greek. Good stuff.

This is the album that got me into collecting collectible records. Came across an original press of this at a local record store when I was about 16, maybe 17, and was hooked on the history.

well that was unexpected

Didn't think I'd like it. I was wrong.

What is this list's obsession with Elvis Costello?

A classic

Randy Newman's success is an enigma. But at least we got the Toy Story theme song from it.

Seriously, ANOTHER Elvis Costello album?

Easiest 5 on the list

Now this is the type of album this list was made for.

guy just sounds like he's trying too hard, and drunk

what a douche

surprised!

hilarious

This album is so good. And was so seminal in my music discovery as a kid. But now all I head is "wahhh Napster, waaahhhh". So a 4 instead of a probably deserving 5. But damn this album still slaps.

why do I feel like I *should* like Morrissey more than I do?

He 'marries' a 13 year old, then on his redemption tour his backing band is the Nashville TEENS? Can't make that up.

2 hits and a bunch of filler. Not too shabby in the grand scheme.

This one brings back fond memories

why is the maker of this list obsessed with Costello?

A great year 14 year old me is creaming himself

"Produced by Frank Zappa". That explains it.

Karen Oh's origin story.

a 4 on the merits of Mr. Blue Sky along. The rest of the album is a 3.

pastiche of a rock star
