Miles DavisNot my cuppa. I've been told if you play one note wrong it's a mistake, play two notes wrong and it's jazz. I guess I'm more of a Kind of Blue Miles Davis guy.

Great overall album. Plenty of tracks you know and can vibe to, but several underrated tracks as well!
A great easy listen. Even though I am from the area I have never attended the Newport festivals. Tiger in Your Tank and Goodbye Newport stand out. Mellow sound and vibe overall
Nice album. I can fumble through Spanish and Portuguese, and these song are slow enough for me to pick out the main messages.
Start to finish a fabulous album. Rock. Simple, driving, boot stomping rock.
Really easy listen. Lo-fi. Even little hints of Nick Drake in there. Excellent background vibe music.
So funny to listen to know. This supposed album of darkness and terror, while still an interesting album, does not hold the fear of its initial release date.
Madonna's return to the limelight. Complete shift in look and sound. Some tracks are a little heavy on the Kabballah she is now into but some great dance numbers as always.
One of the absolute great albums in tone, musically, lyrically, it is just Billy at his best. The first 7 tracks should each be in the HOF for their own reasons.
Outstanding rock album. Blasts into you with Immigrant Song and doesn't let up.
Interesting listen. 60's electric vibe, but some different sounds. King is in his Counting House comes to mind. Get me to the World on Time has great beat
One of the great all time albums. I have listened over and over. The voice, the arrangements. Amazing.
Outstanding album. not only amazing "classics" but a few you should listen to again for the first time.
Barely listenable. A couple of passable tracks... Secretly... Mostly screaming and shock value
Essentially, if Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem met a cross between Randy Newman and the Guess Who... Good listen. Not memorable.
Great ZZ Top sound. Waitin' for the Bus is a fabulous 1st track. And La Grange is La Grange.
Excellent Live album. Originals and covers. Amazing drum solo.
Interesting 80's alternative / New Wave. Worth a listen.
One of the greats. Multiple 5 star tracks. Killing in the Name, Bullet in the Head, Know your Enemy...
Meh.
Something I would have played in college. Noise, spoken word... Otherwise unremarkable.
Smooth as silk. One of the easiest listens ever. Perfect mood music.
An absolute anthem of hope and love. A clear voice singing out for love and resilience. Your circumstances shape you but do not define you. Keep hope alive.
The absolute Queen. Yes, Chain of Fools, but People Get Ready but Good to Me and the incomparable Natural Woman. Just amazing.
Has all the hallmarks of a mid-late 90s club album. Great dance tunes "Brand New, You're Retro" lead right into make out mixes like "Suffocated Love". A better album than I expected. As was recommended on Apple Music, "play this late at night and loud". The next time you're looking for a background make out vibe album, give this a try
Fabulous example of live arena rock. Even though I only knew maybe 3-4 songs, the energy level carried the show. Definitely a 3+ so I'm voting 4.
Good disco vibe. Party album. Dancers and make out songs alike.
Mediocre beat poetry over a bad background from a Nick Drake style artist. I may look into future albums to see if there was growth.
Great flow and rhythm. You do not need to speak the language to capture the feel. Background party music. Top shelf!
Please let me start by saying, I am NOT a fan of The Cure. That being said, apart from the final track "Untitled", I don't know how much more you can do or get out of a sound, a feel, an ethos. The album is amazing. Full stop. I did not want to like it but could not help it. Truly a great overall album.
A storyteller of the highest order. Thoughtful, insightful, revolutionary. Sadly, I always get hung up on his voice. Otherwise 5 stars.
I will admit a soft spot for Janis. Her voice always evokes an image and this album has all the songs you know and a few I grew to love.
World class. HOF tracks.
VEEERY average College radio noise from the 90s. I played it a few times on the radio. more noise than substance. A couple of tracks are worth it. That's all.
Close your eyes and imagine the images. An album of feeling and grace. No notes... One of the great singer songwriters of her or any age.
Good vibe. Smooth. Background Jams
Some HOF 80s cuts. You know the ones, but don't sleep on Money Changes Everything...
Fabulous. Truly the 'king" and deserving of respect. The guitar work is immaculate. Best line on the album - I gave you seven children and now you tryin' to give them back...
Average collection of songs overall. A couple of great tracks but not enough to push it past 3 stars.
I had never heard of this album but a great listen!
Great easy listen jazz. Love the electric piano
Early Beach Boys. Good sound but not fully developed into the phenomenon they would become in Pet Sounds. Easy 50’s / 60’s sounds.
So many hits. Great 80s sound. Easy to listen to and groove out to.
Fabulous start to finish. Tomorrow Never Knows is my favorite Indian inspired track off any Beatles album. HOF tracks throughout.
Brilliant anti-establishment lyrics. I've slept on The Kinks. Knowing only their standards. This is an amazing example of pushing the envelope without rage or obvious anger. Mom & Dad beware. To borrow from The Who, the kids are not all right. They are fed up and want more.
Decent tracks. You'll know Bodhisattva and My Old School. Show Biz Kids is disgustingly repetitive... Average overall album.
Honestly... Childish sounding. Unimpressed.
Judy Collins / Joni Mitchell / Carole King / Decemberists? Interesting blend. Definitely worth a few more listens.
Don't let the camp of Randy get in the way of this album. The emotions are there. This is a better listen looking out the window with a drink. Technically 3.5 stars.
Three tracks in particular point the way, The Fairy Feller, Nevermore, and March of the Black Queen show you where this band is headed. Great album full of songs I had never heard.
Lots of great 80s sound. Much more than the hits you knew.
UGH... Someone bothered to produce this?
Interesting. Practically spoken word. Not my cuppa.
Meh... Electronica. Nothing earth shattering.
One of the great lyricists. But I always feel like I have to push through his voice...
Outstanding mood album. Nick Drake? The Shins? Beautiful sound. Will definitely help you figure some things out while questioning others.
An absolute showstopper of an album. Southern/Bar rock at it's finest
Queen coming into their full selves. Sounds, harmonies, and of course Bohemian Rhapsody.
Solid harmonies. Rockabilly influence. They have a "sound" and stick to it. The only way to distinguish the songs is by the track number. They all sound essentially the same. Definite tragedy in these mini-novellas. Some were very grim indeed and would have received the parental warning label today. Worth a listen, maybe not more than two.
Atrocious... Will never listen to again. I want to scrub this boring depressing repetitive nonsense from my memory banks... I would give it fewer than 1 star if I could.
Very interesting. Mood shifts from Pink Floyd, to dance tracks to lyrical voacl tracks.
A defining album in my musical education. Still my favorite Pearl Jam album.
Great album. Stellar guitar work. A perfect introduction to Santana and his version of Spanish electric guitar work.
Great intro to Bob Mould and the fuzzy guitar sound I believe he perfected in his band Sugar. Definitely a big influence in my college years.
Great smooth beats. Background cocktail party vibe .
Silky smooth 70's style indicative of the blacksploitation films of the era. Washes over you like the cream over ice in your White Russian. Heartbreaking realities masked in falsetto.
Fabulous 80's pop/metal. Hair band excellence. Apart from the known tracks, the others flow and fit nicely in the overall work.
Good album. Consistent Stephen Stills twang. Easy listen. Lyrics and tone work well. Otherwise unremarkable. but a good listen.
Not my cuppa. I've been told if you play one note wrong it's a mistake, play two notes wrong and it's jazz. I guess I'm more of a Kind of Blue Miles Davis guy.
Very good album. Not a Stones fan, but truly a very good album. growth beyond Satisfaction.
So many albums from one group and yet there is always one or two truly great tracks surrounded by an album you can't stop listening to.
Bad 80's background synth.
Great background vibe. Very 70's party
Such a better album than I would have thought! I had always heard The Monkees were the US Beatles, but never quite understood it with the songs I knew, and the TV show I grew up watching. Listen, it's no White Album, but definitely smoother and deeper than I would have given them credit for.
screaming. noise... Take Some Petrol is more than a track. It's advice.
Great album. Neil Young southern rock sound. Not every song comes out perfect, but the message is easy to hear and delivered well.
Another great listen. Smooth, cool, and classic. Another example of why I like Miles so much.
Amazing "80s" sound in 1979.
A little too weird for my tastes. But a good sound overall
Loved her voice. smoky 90s sound. Such a big voice from such a small woman.
Amazing listen. Vocals, melody, lyrics. Emotional waves and one great song follows another.
Not bad. Some very "The Hives" sounding songs. Some screeching. A few good tracks to pick off it, but not a complete album.
Great 70's album and sound. Various themes and types of sounds. from synth based keyboards. to the guitars of Mr. Blue Sky.
Not their best album by a long shot. Sure, Enter Sandman, The Unforgiven, and Nothing Else Matters can ramp you up, but that's 3 out of 12 They have MUCH better albums, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets...
"The new Beatles" lol
no. just no. like a bad mix of 70s and 80s R&B
If I have learned one thing, it is that I cannot possibly listen to another Joy Division album. Absolutely tiring. Exhausting and dreary are the kindest words I can even think of as the album has sucked all of my life force from me. Dementors and Ring Wraiths exhibit more cheer.
Harmless toe tappers. Nothing remarkable. You will know 1 or 2 songs...
