Such iconic music, so classically MJ. So sad he’s gone so soon.

Coldplay has an iconic sound, distinct from anyone else I’ve ever listened to. Sonically distinct, curious message in their lyrics. Puts me in a thoughtful mood.

Hard to listen to… so depressing. The X-ray notes said they were ‘confrontational performers’. And I can understand they must have been to be able to create this kind of sound without ending it all immediately afterward.

Love this sound, but Roundabout is really the best of the bunch.

It was like nails on a chalkboard.

The driving beat was just… monotonous. The rhymes were good, but just too much sameness.

Punk’s not my thing - just doesn’t flow, makes me edgy. But maybe that’s the point. This album was at least consistent and made me pay attention. I can appreciate the musicians’ artistry. This sound can’t be easy to reproduce consistently.

I had never listened to the White Album before. Iconic. But I’m still not a Beatles fan.

Boring

Very inspired but not inspiring.

Never heard most of these songs before, but Hendrix’s sound is so identifiable. Was he high all the time…?

Noise. Just noise.

Nice rhythms, reminiscent of The Cars.

I was prepared not to like this album, but it grew on me as background noise…

What a delightful classic rock album! Transports me to the 70’s with nearly every song, but I heard a few tunes that surprised and delighted me. Excellent!

Best track is Fame. The rest are sorta meh…

Interesting late ‘80s feel.

The hits are timeless. The rest…. Not so much.

Horrible noises

Classic country at its best!

Great mood music. Very soothing and very retro.

This album has always felt like an American Opera to me. Classic. Meatloaf died too young!
