Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Smashing Pumpkins
I was just listening to this album this morning and wondering when it might show up on the list! Not a huge coincidence as I listen to this one a lot. If everyone was told they could only have one album, this would be my pick. It's not the best-written album in the world ("in the eyes of the jackal I say kaboom"?) but it is my favourite. I first heard it when I was in my early 20s, reading through the early Anne Rice vampire novels - an excellent pairing, by the way - so it'll always take me back to those days. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em...

I might have liked this if I'd heard it when I was younger, but now it just made me say "stop shouting at me, ya wee prick" as I turned down the volume. Old age, man.
At least the album was short. Under 22 minutes. If I were a fan I'd feel short-changed.

Damn. I saw that album cover and for a moment I thought Tom Baker had made a record. But no, it's Dylan again, the man with the most irritating voice in music. That long, piercing harmonica on Pledging My Time all but guaranteed a one-star review before I'd even heard the rest.
Having said that, I'd like this album a lot more if you could cut out Dylan's vocals and that flipping mouth organ of his. Let's pretend any of this matters at all and add an extra star to the review, for the band.

I'll say this for all the old hair metal bands that come up on this list, at least their lead singers gave it some. This guy's voice goes up to a seven on a good day. That's not to say it can't be good, like on You Would Know, where the dialled-back guitar works with the vocal rather than against. Some of the guitar noodling and electronic bleepery seems almost wilfully irritating at times, but there's still some stuff to enjoy here.

Reminds me of the time a skinhead walked into my shop - full gear, bovver boots and bomber jacket, and I thought uh-oh, then I saw a badge at his lapel saying, skinheads against racism. That made me relax, but imagine picking a look that needed a disclaimer.
It's like a southern rock parody of System of a Down. Rock for a bit, then read out screeds of political history. The South will rise again! But, but, not in a racist way, you understand. Anyway, this next song is about a racist politician - which we're against, by the way, just to be clear. Yeehaw. In conclusion, Skynyrd, Alabama, and Skynyrd again.

Fun tunes, good sense of humour in the lyrics, this did keep veering into 2 star territory at times, sounding like Carter USM produced by Stock, Aitken, and Waterman, but my previous album was Simply Red so this one gets an extra point just for not being that.

I once sang American Pie at karaoke and got three rounds of applause. Not because I was any good, but because they kept thinking I was finished. That song really knows how to outstay its welcome. In the end, I just handed back the mic and shuffled awkwardly offstage. Bye bye, miss American Pie

Jazz is one of those things where fans get so into it that I'm left feeling I'm missing something. It must be me, right, if people can be so obsessed they could reel off every band member for each recording of every song while I'm sat there going, meh?
I did wonder how I knew the tune for Bemsha Swing, then I remembered it was used for F.U. by the chili peppers - so that's an embarrassing admission of my own cultural touchstones, I suppose

Welcome to my Controversial Artists list, Slipknot! One star for their self-titled album and now this.
Maybe it's because the previous album from this site was hours of generic drum & bass that sounded like a space dolphin giving a drum machine diarrhoea that's making me more predisposed towards any actual humans playing actual instruments.

Garage Rock as heard from three garages away. So rough, it's jarring when one of the tracks ends on something as studio-based as a fadeout. Each song should only end when the drummer drops a stick again or when their mom tells them to pack it in because she needs to phone her sister
