This album marked the beginning of high school for me. It was a time I was shifting from mainstream to alternative in musical taste. However, this album still evokes fond memories with several of the songs being iconic of the period for me.
Listening to this has reinforced my neutrality towards Peter Gabriel. As in the 80s, I don't connect with the music or lyrics as I do with other artists. I don't dislike him, but I also don't particularly like him either.
Outside of my comfort zone, but very enjoyable. I liked the diversity and musicality of the entire album, though I think I favored the first part over the second (though not by much).
This is the definition of 70s metal to me. Hard to believe that this was once considered the hardcore version of music.
The sound seems to be representative of the period, though I had never heard of this band. I recognized Janice Joplin's voice and that is how I learned that she started as part of a band.
I went in knowing only the title song, but the entire album ended up being solid
I was never a big Beastie Boys fan back in the day, but I found this album to be surprisingly enjoyable. Perhaps I should have explored them more.
Solid early new wave/post-punk feel. Was not previously familiar with them, but I enjoyed the album.
Lots of familiar songs here. Enjoyed the ones I didn't know as well.
Liked it. Clocks was already known, but the rest of the album seemed likable but not extraordinary
Not my favorite, but I did enjoy the diversity.
An eclectic collection with a folksy vibe.
Previously known and enjoyed
Eh...
Some iconic 60s music here, know and enjoy this album.
Fondly remembered from my teenage years!
Post punk in all its glory.
I know some other 10cc songs, but none of these. They really didn't hook me in though.
Iconic metal
I liked this much more than I expected that I would
Not really my thing, but good for what it is
Not really my thing.
At first I thought this sounded like a spoof of a 60s band, then I read the Wikipedia article and found out it was!
Interesting take on some country oldies
Love the ones that went mainstream...
Pretty neutral towards him and my opinion remains unchanged
I can see how this influenced musicians that followed in the 60s
Surprised at the style diversity and how much I enjoyed this album
If you ask me to describe classic R&B, I would describe this album.
It is Paul McCartney, what more is there to say!
Own and love this album.
If you asked me to describe old-timey country music, I would describe this album
A little too country for my taste, but enjoyable
Never heard of her before. It was OK, but didn't hook me in
enjoyable though I don't think I am the target demographic for the messaging
OK, though Beck has never been on my favorite list
I'm not usually a big fan of metal, however I found this surprisingly enjoyable with the addition of the symphony
very folksy, and I now understand why he was so revered
I'm not sure how this never made it onto my radar!
The songs I did not know were consistent with the style of the ones I did know.
I bunch of versions I had never heard, but I loved them
Familiar with quite a bit of this
Not really my jam
It is interesting that the most famous song seems to be the least bluesy
Metal is not really my thing, but I remember when this was popular
I'm not sure what I was expecting from 'afri beat', but I enjoyed this album
I'm not sure how they avoided falling on my radar during my punk phase, but here we are.
I was unaware that ska went back this far! Solid album.
