Music From Big Pink
The Band
It's easy to hear the influences that would shape later music from bands like Stone Temple Pilots and Daughtry. While the music isn't something I would add to my own playlist, i can see the influence it had on later music.

DJ Shadow
Goes very hard but it's also very 90s. It feels very much like 90s hip hop remixes, which isn't a bad thing, but definitely has that feeling, so if that's not your scene you won't like it.

I'm not sure why this album was so influential. It feels like every other album by simple minds. This doesn't mean it's bad, i like it a lot actually but it doesn't scream revolutionary to me.

An overall weird album but not in a bad way. Definitely more chaotic than anything else. The music was good and there were definitely small moments that remind me of Future bands like The Black keys and Cage the elephant though I'm not 100% sure that the influence was actually that far reaching

I loved this album it feels like a predecessor to all of the 90s and early 2000s techno music that I grew up on and it has a lot of elements that very much lead me to believe that it influenced them heavily.

So this album is just odd. Jack and Meg White have very different talent levels within their instruments and it shows rather heavily. You can also tell who worked on which songs more, but Jack White's lyricism really helps the album come threw in a positive manner.
