80s in your face, perfect A side, ok B side

Catchy french rap - would be dope if i knew what they were saying

Listened on repeat several times, finally made sense to make after 20 years of trying to listen to it, beautiful album and flow, interesting themes, masterpiece.

Atmospheric, sparse, post rock

Smoky, self indulgent, aging Dylan

Safe music, too cheesy, too sweet, melodramatic

Tommy walked so that The Wall could soar, an experience, 4.5 stars

Throwback rap. Smooth and easy to digest.

Some great songs at the beginning and then a bunch of filler

Punk, quick, dirty, no surprises here

Alternative grandfathers, influential to the genre, "Radio Free Europe" +1

Stone Cold Crazy +1, Killer Queen +1, a quick play, riffs & vocals

Hot garbage. No idea how this album made the list

Modern alternative music, "Desire Lines" +1

Reverb heavy, dreamy, echoes

A solid album through out, numerous hits, the one where they sell out

"Music" +1, late 90s pop music bonaza

Strange metal music. Different but not my cup of tea.

Aggressive, set the blueprint for future bands.

"Homeward bound" +1, safe and dull, gentle mid 60s baby music

Semi modern hip hop, nothing too substantial

Misogynistic, antagonistic, criminal, catchy

Innuendo filled. Juvenile. Catchy as hell.

"Mercy mercy me" +2, solid album from start to finish, social commentary and catchy.

"Tutti frutti" +1, "Long tall sally" +1, revolutionary at the time, aged ok

"Zero" +1, "Heads Will Roll" +2, "Soft Shock" +1

"Passing me by" +1, juvenile dated hip hop

Smoky cool blues

"The Message" +2, "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheel of Steel" +1, rest of album is pretty dated

"Yellow" +1, forgettable music from a simpler time

Not a fan of his voice. Fine songs but the vocals distract too much.

"La Grange" +2, Generic Classic Rock for the rest of the album

Chill jazz, easy listening and smooth yet not boring

Would have been huge back in the 90s

Fun light hearted ska

Dystopian dark moody noise

A musical experience. Not entirely songs but a vibe

The white stripes minus the guitars

Funky fun jazzy African pop

Okay post rock

Lion king choir style music. Short and to the point

Low fidelity old timey soul

Sampled numerous times. Feels influential in some way but cant pin how.

Strange but melodic. Abrasive but gentle at times. Loud and quiet.

Great voice great vibes just too much filler

Innovative. Simple. Catchy. Quick. Don't blink or it's over

Smooth prog rock. Great in the moment but I can remember it once it's done

Cool country with a guitar emphasis

Unique sound and distinct sound scape

Half of the album has filler and half the album has instant classics

Modern day alternative classic

Underwhelming from the band that created rumours

The worst britpop band of the bunch

A total vibe and the complexity of 2pac on one album

+2 for title track and fame

The epitome of a heart break

French nine inch nails if it was the 80s

Indie hipster rock music

Probably would have been huge in the 80s

"Bohemian rhapsody" +3, lots of filler but several phenomenal songs

Missing "Ain't that a shame", his strongest song of his career

An underrated album from a criminally underrated band

Probably a masterpiece hidden underneath the filler. "1979" +2

Highly influential on the alternative music scene. Several classics but lots of filler in between

Honestly they all sound the same minus tumbling dice and happy

Some very strong tracks and a lot of filler

What a vibe. Throughly enjoyable

Chaotic at times, smooth at others

I wish all their albums were like this

Solidly produced album, perhaps her strongest album to date

A greater sum than the individual pieces
