I always forget how short this album is. It's less about the songs and more about the vibe.

I don't know what it is about the blues, they're just so depressing.

I hadn't ever listened to this entire album before. I really liked it. Gang of Four really don't get enough recognition as an early punk band.

Morrissey is certainly a guy that thinks stuff, huh?

Dusty is a great performer, but this selection of popular r&b and pop songs from the really sixties feels unremarkable from a modern standpoint.

This album is very ahead of it's time

This was one of the most impactful albums in my life. I will never forget seeing Nirvana play Smells Like Teen Spirit on SNL for the first time

This album was a jam, but early 60's instrumental blues just isn't my thing

Some great songs, but a little jazzy for my tastes

Wow am I sick of white British boomer dudes playing the blues

This album is one of the 3 good ones Coldplay made. I don't hate it, but it's not as good as A Rush of Blood to the Head. Don't Panic is all time though.

Judas!

The Kinks are really underrated in the pantheon of British invasion bands

The Band is undoubtedly a great group, but I just don't click with roots rock.

It's fun early 60's British Invasion R&B, but nothing really special.

I thought Primal Scream was a lot harder music. I liked this album fine, but it didn't really hit me. It was kind of background music.

Great album, but I found the production and composition to be a little repetitive by the end of the LP.

Pretty solid all the way through. Better than I expected.

Good album. I like the vibes, but a lot if the compositions outside of the singles are pretty forgettable.

This song is a banger, but really it's just the one 20 minute song broken to into 2 parts.

I'm not convinced that this isn't Spinal Tap

Sam was a hell of an entertainer

Oh fuck! Let's go crazy!

She really should have gone to rehab.

I get that this is influential and the first of it's kind, but it is NOT my jam.

It's fine

Sure, the Kinks are good but man I'm such of white British dudes in the sixties.

This is my first time listening through this whole album. It's a little dated, but still pretty damn good.

*gruff voiced* Bobby works in the steel mill but his boss don't pay him right. On the weekends he races his 67 hardblock 486. It's the only time he feels alive.

Pretty good, but a little more rootsy than I like.

Jazzy 90's electronica. It's fine.

Still a good album. So very 90's

This album legitimately scared me when it came out when I was 14. It's a damn masterpiece.

Definitely a Steely Dan album

I love this album. Jangly early 90's guitar alternapop is right up my alley.

I appreciate Sonic Youth more than I enjoy them.

Who's the private dick who's a sex machine with all the chicks? Curtis Mayfield.

It was fine. I wasn't really impressed by the Pet Shop Boys, but nothing was terrible. Kind of forgettable.

I really like The Jesus and Mary Chain. Gloomy, jangly, post-punk definitely hits for me.

Every track is a banger

It's alright. Honestly, I've heard much better new wave.

There's not a bad song on this album.

It's Stevie

So incredibly ahead of it's time. They are basically a Pavement prequel.

Less an album of songs and more a series of improvisations around the impression of being goth in the early 80's.

These aren't even the best versions of these songs performed at the Star Club in the 60's. Give me The Beatles on speed any day.

Definitely the Clash's best. Also the lightest on the reggae, which I find tedious.

I really never thought the drummer from Nirvana was going to be the one with a 3 decade music career.

It's fine

The worst LCD Soundsystem album. It's still a 4/5.

If I was making a movie about a bunch of suburban, college aged white guys in the 60's starting a garage band, they would sound like this.

He was bad... But maybe not in the way he meant here. Still, album is a banger. Not Thriller level, but impressive nonetheless.

Best pop album ever made. Beats Thriller, 1989, Rumors... It's a fucking top to bottom, unstoppable stampede of bangers.

I recognize what they did here, though The Who don't really connect with me in general. I do give them credit for having both an Overture and an Underture. That's quality punning.

I think I'm discovering that I only like laid back cool jazz inflected hip hop in small doses. I don't dislike anything here, but a whole album feels backgroundy. The second half gets better, though.

Rock out with your cock out. This is so not my jam.

70's glam rock. I definitely dig it. They're a little more showtune-y than Bowie.

He's sad and he has a guitar. Fuck yeah!

I generally like Hot Chip, though an entire album starts to feel repetitive.

Definitely some British boomers doing roots rock

Not bad. Groovy background disco other than Good times.

I respect them more than I enjoy them

So tired of white British Boomers

It's the doors. They're fine.

Bri'ish

I got pregnant just listening to this album. And I'm a dude.

Jewish country Pavement

21st century Kinks

White British boomers.... Again. I am so sick of the 60's.

She's like the Julia Roberts of music. There's nothing about it that's bad, but it just somehow feels like it's for single women in their mid-thirties on an early 90's sitcom.

I do appreciate goth 80's post-punk, though this particular flavor is a little light on melody and heavy on snare (wow. Those are some reverby snares) for my taste.

Ok, I'm a dude in my 40's and this gave me real teenage girl longing. It's a goddamn magic trick Every track is a banger. I don't want to like this album, but fuck it, I really do..

Ok, trying to step away from the giant mythos of this album and my teenage stoner experience (hah, experience) of it to look at it as objectively as possible. Every. Single. Track. Rocks.

I never gave this album a chance when it was new. I was so done with Greenday at this point. But fuck, it's good.

Good album. Supergrass is one of those venerated lesser known 90's bags I never got around to.

This is one of those cases where the single he's remembered for is really the best song on the album. I appreciate the soul, but the songs aren't great. Especially when he urges his grandmother to get up out of her rocking chair and dance. It just feels very 80's. And I swear he musically quoted the theme to Green Acres. Terrence Trent D'arby is "We have Prince at home."

Pretty good, but it's not like it's going to win a Pulitzer prize or anything.

Not the Queenest Queen album, but it's Queen enough.

It held up better than I thought it would have. Kat time I listened to this was probably 1992

Pretty good album. Didn't blow me away.

I don't know what it is, but there's sometime about Elvis Costello's vocal delivery that I just don't connect with. On paper he should be the kind of artist I'm really in to, but I just can't get there. It's like he's making up the words as he goes along and just can't stop shoving more words into the rhyme scheme.

Might sell a few copies

Oh. My. God. I am so sick of Steely fucking Dan. I get it, you like jazz and have great production. Jesus. Alright, this one's a little better than the last 2i had to sit through.

It's fine as far as upbeat fifties jazz goes.

I like this album but I feel like J got way better in his next few albums. He's still developing as a songwriter here.

I feel like a lot of bands have a really great sound, but they don't have any songs worth listening to. They're all technique and attitude with no composition skills. This is one of those bands. I like a good song before anything else.

Love the Guarldi style piano. There are some very good songs here, and I generally dig B&S, but Joey's be honest, this is the aural requirement of a Wes Anderson film.

Some damn good funk.

Meh

I don't know what it is about Bjork. I like individual songs of hers quite a bit. Human Behavior is an absolute favorite of mine, and on paper she's everything I should like, well crafted compositions, sonically adventurous, but I just find myself zoning out on her when I try to listen to a whole album.

I mean, it's Marvin Gaye, so yeah it's pretty good.

Another album that was very formative to my listening in my teen years.

I love Bowie, and this album had some good stuff, and a couple absolute all time great songs. It's mid for 70's Bowie, although it would be spectacular did almost anyone else.

I don't really dig reggae.

I had never heard this before. Very nice.

So, I understand their importance to the development of pop in the sixties, but wow is it just so very set in a time. There are 3 great pop songs on here and a bunch of medium covers.
