no i understand why I never heard of eels

The Singles do not represent the album tracks which made the album a little disappointing, but dang she has pipes!

Classic 80s

The Who did a rock opera and AquaLung was what happened when a 4 track recorder got turned on and no-one turned it off for 5 days.

Classic. He was just getting warmed up

Knew the entire album!

Meat Loaf is Hell

Great classics

For techno pop that was a hard listen. It did not have a beat you could dance to and felt disjointed.

Album appropriately named for happy and sad early Rock & Roll ballads

definitely music for the young man

Damn that is good Stuff

Good version of a protest album

Technical skills demonstrated at the expense of an audience.

Classic 70's. and awesome

Not fully digitized. Erin found it on YouTube. Super combination of Johnny Rotten's anger mixed with the Monkey's melodies, and German beer.

very 70s folk rock. I think the hush puppies on the album cover sum it up well

hypnotic dream pop

I guess dating the Rolling Stones was once good for a career. This album sounds like pre-punk European protest music.

This is lovely

Still mad i missed this concert. Loved the album

Robin said it was good. Travel day, missed it.

This is what happens when a Salvador Dali painting makes sound.

the "I really want to be the Berry Manilow of my generation" album that no-one knew they were missing. Why do we need to be so dramatic?

That was way cooler than the name implied.

The Start of Something Big.

Enter Sandman.. I never recovered

Sounds like ambient piano music for bedtime.

Well, Babylon. and on. and on. and on. and on. and on

This is Rock & Roll's response to the beastie boys. And i love it.

Found on YouTube. That sound is soooo chill.

innovators for sure and inspiration for years of sound. Fits with tech/syfy of the time. But i hope this type of techno pop does not return.

far more range than i anticipated. And totally bad ass.

Frantic. "the greatest band you've never heard of" If you listen closely, there are guitar cords that will reappear on Queen's 1975 album A Night at the Opera. Turns Queen opened for the Sparks in '73.

I think they were still stoned when this was recorded. That was a difficult listen.

Fun album

awesome

Frenetic jazzish

This sounds like kids recording their first month with new electric instruments trying to make the worst noise possible.

Lyrical Genius!

Like listening to garage band grow-up one track at a time

This is the inspiration for David Lee Roth!? I prefer the original! This album is full of great songs.

Found on YouTube. Unbelievable music.

Freaking awesome. Black Sabath. They were great musicians too.

I think Nick is angry

Feels like the Monkeys got sad and inspired Elliot to share his sadness with all of us.

that was cool

So dramatic. I am pretty sure this could have been cut in the first edit of the book. They really should not have covered the Boss. Too many covers to be influential.

Yes, I listened twice!!!

These boys can rip it.

falsetto

Just 1960's awesome

OK

I loved the 70s

Ready or Not! Shout!

almost hypnotic.

Funky, jazzy, 70s

Such a prolific song writer! album not on spotify, but i found it on youtube

just as described. Made me crave an overpriced cocktail (a double for just $2).

I liked this Punk version of the Pretenders a lot more than the Pop version that came later.

Folksy but did not grab my attention.

just smooth

The Greatest Cover Band Ever!!!

Further Evidence that not everything should be recorded.

These angry young Irishmen were awesome and now I want a pint. Kirsy MacColl was a great add!

just awesome

So good in my angry teenage boy phase. That was a long time ago though.

Tainted Love has been and remains one of my favorite songs.

I think we found the inspiration for the Violent Femmes

New Age meets Jazz funk. I forgot how good they were.

zappa zappa zappa

There is a fine line between Mr. Fagen solo stuff and his Steely Dan musings.

I would have bet that the Intro was from the Chainsmokers.

I think one era of grunge rock was enough.

Best served with ecstasy

Not the Suzanne Vega album I would have choosen.

no i understand why I never heard of eels

Much better than album than the single suggests.

How did this make the list? This is just horrible.

another piece from the experimental period of Rock and Roll.

I forgot how much I missed this!

may have been cool to see live, but not so much as a record.

Too Much Noise.

Southern Rock by the B team

must we hear every album produced by members of the wu-tang clan

The Cover Art is creepy. The song writing was strong. The music, however, was not compelling enough to overcome the creepy feeling.

This should encourage all garage band musicians to believe they too can make a record. This should also convince some that they should not. This band disbanded in 2015 and I am grateful.

Ms. Jackson, and the rest.

The start of something great?
