Some cracking tracks but largely not for me.

Good record, especially '39.

Bowie nearly at his best, and in one instance, reaching it (Life on Mars?)

If I didn't give 5 stars to this, then I don't know what I would give 5 stars to. Even the songs about shagging are class. 'I chew on a piece of your Custard Pie...' And it only gets better from there.

3.5

Clearly Little Richard has been a huge influence on later musicians. This record holds no interest for me though. Is every song actually the same as all the others?

Like being hugged by the depression kitty from Big Mouth.

There are a few good tracks on this record, you know the ones, but the rest are so desperately lame that they suck the pleasure out of even them.

Punk sucks. Ramones suck. Sophomoric wank.

3.5

So much punk, all of it shite.

3.5

Extra star for not caring in the slightest whether or not anybody would buy their music.

3.5

Meh

3.5. Some very good tracks on here. I know their later works would score higher.

I felt something.

4.5

Congratulations, your music is just as shit as all the other punk music ever released. I think there must be a mass delusion at play here, or do people think that liking this sort of wank makes them interesting or edgy? Be honest with yourself, you hate it too, but you have defined yourself by this genre and you can't get out now so you have to keep maintaining the lie to save face. Don't worry, we'll respect you for owning up, let's come together in a world where we can forget about music that is devoid of novelty, beauty, and lyricism above the most banal.

1.5 Greatest punk record of all time.
