Wish You Were Here
Pink FloydThis is my favorite Pink Floyd album.
This is my favorite Pink Floyd album.
I remember when this album came out. The videos were in heavy rotation on MTV. I like it but it's not my favorite ZZ Top album.
I just listened to (half of) this record a week ago. I've listened to Supertramp a bunch, but mostly Greatest Hits stuff. I was surprised at how good some of the "non hits" were though.
This is one of my favorite albums. I have a vinyl copy that came from one of my parents (mom, I believe) and I've been listening to it for about 35 years. And the R. Crumb artwork is just a bonus.
I always have a hard time keeping the Bowie albums straight - which ones I like, which ones I'm "supposed to like" (but don't really love). After listening to this one (several times) I like it a lot. I had "Life on Mars" stuck in my head for two days.
I like Queen; they are a fun band and they all play very well together. But I don't *love* Queen. I just don't get into the songs that much. They are all good songs and they have excellent musical qualities. I'm just not that into it.
Blur is about as modern Brit-pop as it gets. It's flashy and fast and harkens back to classic Brit bands (The Kinks, The Jam) and even though the songs are good and go together well, they aren't particularly memorable. Knowing now that Damon Albarn would make more music this album shows hints of what would come. It's good/listenable/even danceable at times but it seems all flash with little substance. Or perhaps too much substance - about the same stuff.
I do not like this album much more now than I did back when I first heard it, but I am finding things that I do like about it here and there - I like more than others the slower (and less screamier) songs.
I'm going to say that I like this album. I am really only remembering about three songs, but I remember this album flowing together well. I still like it. It's more guitar-heavy than I recall. I enjoy the slower songs more than the more rock ones. But it still sounds great.
Love this album. Saw this tour in concert. I even bought this version of the album from Amazon UK. It's still good. I remembered it pretty closely to what I thought. I like the way the songs kinda "roll along" - jangly guitar and quick beat.
I have never heard this album. My familiarity with Leonard Cohen pretty much begins and ends with "Everybody Knows" from the soundtrack to "Pump Up the Volume". Leonard Cohen weaves a wonderful song, but they are so dreary. I like his voice, the backing vocals enrich the songs, but I just don't like it all.
My wife loves Beck. And I have grown to as well. Every time I listen to him, I think that I should listen to him more often; but I don't. I liked this album. It sort of all blended together. I'd listen to it again, but I think the songs are better for like Mix Tapes.
This is my favorite Pink Floyd album.
This was the first album I ever borrowed from my mom's collection. It's still brilliant and I love the cover.
I first heard about Joan Armatrading when Tracy Chapman's debut album was released. Many critics referred to Chapman as "the next Joan Armatrading" and I can definitely see that comparison. But I love them both separately.
Elvis Costello is very hit or miss for me. Sometimes I really like his songs other times very much not. This album, though, I generally like. Still do. Solid. Good songs.
This album blew me away in 1984. And while I'm a bit tired of it after all these years, it's still just amazing how they managed to pack so many hits onto one album.
Before listening: I've never been a fan of Slayer. They are a bit to Fast Metal for me. And too much shouting and screaming. After listening: Nope, still don't like it. Some of the music was not as bad as I'd expected but the whole thing as a whole is just not my cup of tea.
I love Janis. And this album is exceptional.
I really like this album. I remember when it came out: I liked it then too.
I've never listened to this album all the way through in one sitting. Obviously I know "Strange Brew" and "Sunshine of My Love" but I'm not familiar with most of the rest of this album. Obviously, it's good. But it also kinda all sounds a lot alike. One or two songs is better than the whole album.
I remember when this album came out. The videos were in heavy rotation on MTV. I like it but it's not my favorite ZZ Top album.
Great album - start to finish. I can't imagine what it must have been like to hear Van Halen for the first time and have that opening guitar riff be the introduction. It's still great.
I've never LOVED Queen. I like them well enough - some songs more than others. But I've never been able to get through a whole album in one sitting. It was better than I expected and I liked more of it than I thought I would. Sat through the whole thing.
This album is brilliant and easy to listen to. Still. All of that still.
Who doesn't love the Humpty Dance? And everyone always talks about DU like they are brilliant. I've never listened to the whole album. I'm excited to do it. It was good. I wouldn't say great. But I would listen to a few of the songs that I'd never heard before again.
LOVE LOVE. I've heard this album a 100+ times before. Still love it. Even the deeper cuts.
I've never heard - or even heard of - this album. I think I was the only person who didn't LOVE OK Computer as soon as it came out. But I seem to appreciate it more and more as time goes on. I like this about as much as I like other Radiohead. I can listen to it. It makes good background music. Every once in a while I even perk up at something I hear. But, basically, it's not for me.
I've always loved "Lips Like Sugar" but I've never listened to an album by Echo & the Bunnymen all the way through. It is good. I like it. Probably not enough to listen to the whole album again but enough that I "liked" a couple more songs. To me, the sound was not diverse enough - the songs all began to run together a bit.
I know very little of Pulp (I bet one song). But I do know of them. I have never listened to this album before. I was right: One song (and it wasn't from this album). This is decent. Sort of shoe-gaze-y and a bit Bowie-esque at times. But not really my thing. There were a couple of songs I would add to a playlist of similar-ish stuff but nothing that I loved.
I have never listened to this album (nor any Yes album) all the way through. Of course I know "Roundabout" and "Long Distance Runaround" but the rest will be new to me - along with hearing an entire Yes album in one sitting. I liked it. It was better than I expected (I'm not sure why my expectations were so low).
I have never heard of this album. I've barely heard of this band. I have no expectations. Electronica. I liked it. Very good stuff. Like background, mood music that also can keep your attention.
One of my favorite of all time. Love it all. This album really holds up. That or I am just so familiar with all of the songs that I can't help but like it. "Trip Through Your Wires" and "Running to Stand Still" are still my favorites.
This was the first David Bowie album I ever heard. And it's still my favorite of his - and in my Top 10 Favorites of all. I love the whole thing start to finish. Still love it. Start to finish.
This is not a favorite album/band of mine. Still don't like it much. I literally could not wait for this album to end. Aside from some good guitar licks, it all sounds the same to me. The parts where he yells lyrics are, for me, the part that I just can't get past (although I'm sure for some that's the best part). A few songs I could maybe listen to again - "Down in a Hole" and "Angry Chair"
I remember there was a lot of hype around this album when it came out. I also remember thinking that what I heard from it was not worth the hype. About like I remember it. Not great - for me anyway. Kinda funky in places though. "Sweet Life" was a highlight.
This album has always been one that I wanted to listen to (I even have it on Vinyl) but have never sat down with. I like Steve Winwood though - all phases that I can think of. And I love the Cover Art. It was good. I liked it. Particularly the title track and "Spanish Dancer".
I am not a big Rush fan. I like them okay. But not a lot. I've never listened to a whole album at once. I liked this. Enough. I still wasn't blown away. My opinion of Rush is not changed by this.
Thin Lizzy is great! I've never dove into much beyond the basics though. I like this and it's fun to listen to but, for me, it kinda just goes on and on. I'd put it on again if I wanted to listen to some rock jams as kind of a background thing.
