Super 80s classic. Prince was always so creative.
Definitely a cool change of pace for me. I've been getting more into jazz, and this was a good album to clean the house to.
The last track is 18 minutes long and the drums don't kick in for 8.
I believe this is known as "foreplay."
Very sexy record.
The players are clearly very good. I like the drummer. I have a lot of friends who are way into Dan. Although I liked this, I kind of just wanted to listen to Earth Wind amd Fire instead.
The building blocks of a lot of weird music I pike better than I like this.
This wave of britrock never grabbed me. It's fine, but I'll never listen to it again.
I'd never really listened to Tom Petty before outside the singles and I really dug this album! Straight rock and roll played well and earnestly. Tom Petty himself is weirder of a vocalist than he gets credit for
An important album, but not quite my style. I enjoyed it enough.
Put me to sleep. Needs Y. Love me some Y. CSN? Ehh.
Surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. Chill out synth tunes with solid vocals. Sexy, but not too sexy.
A seminal alternative influence, Lou Reed isn't exactly my thing but he is am important player in rock hiatory and I was glad to have a prompt to listen to this album.
Real cool chill out stuff. Super chill, but not without form or a backbone.
What can I say? Brilliant album. I was never a huge Bob Marley guy but the man was a genius and he pieced together excellent music.
These label manufactured boy bands are always good for some fun pop hits.
Just funktacular. Loved it.
I was never into the Cure. It's fine. I like a lit of stuff influenced by the cure.
It is striking how much of an 80s rap album this is and not a 90s one they didn't have the budget yet to do things they would do in the 90s. A pioneering album, but do be prepared for the subject matter to be mostly violence and misogyny.
Big vocals. Big arrangements. Masterfully crafted pop rock.
Not bad, but not good either. I can hear how this influenced other things I like more, so credit for that.
I really enjoyed this one. I wasn't so big on CSN, but I do love me some Y.
I really enjoyed this. It would have been too low key for me when I was younger but it's just my speed now.
Not too offensive but mostly MOR drivel. The rapper isn't very good. They like weed. Woooo.
Definitely a 67 rock album. Sounds like they just started taking acid and can't wait to tell you about it.
I never listened to Bjork before and I'm glad I did. Solid album with some interesting stuff in it. I'll check out more.
Sinatra is a guy I never listen to but is clearly quite skilled.
Fantastic. Stevie Wonder is a genius.
Bill Pumpkins has his head so far up his own ass that he's a brilliant songwriter.
One of the greatest and most varied albums of all time.
I am no Reggae expert, but this was very enjoyable and obviously extremely authentic.
I'm not really into late 50s/early 60s folk stuff. I enjoyed this album but it isn't quite my style. If you like this style, this is clearly good stuff.
Thom York's wailing doesn't impress me as much as some. Solid, but uninspiring.
Super cool. Not your run of the mill hip hop. Definitely worth a listen if you like stuff that's a bit weird.
Good. A lot ofnworse bands try to sound like this.
Beautiful. Aretha is the greatest soul singer of all time. No notes.
Iconic. A certain kind of aggression here that is missing from modern music. No surprise this connected so hard with its fans. Love it.
Lyrically very dense with nice, bouncy beats. Very much a Wu-Tang solo album. Would listen again.
Excellent vocal jazz. It's a genre I know more generically and this record is a good place to out a name to the sound.
Guttural, personal album. It's what John needed for catharsis after the breakup if the Beatles. I bet it hit the scene like a wrecking ball when it came out.
Very good. Really great beats and thoughtful rapping about the struggle of the day. Would listen again.
Good songs. Great singer and player.
I listened to this a ton when I was young. It's highs are high indeed but it is way too long.
Not bad. A little schlocky. My friends are all reccommending other Kate Bush albums. I may check them out.
Classic rock at its classicest. Good playing and songwriting. Captures a certain feel of the time. Very much a prototype for future stuff.
Really cool stuff. Not quite my style but I see why it hit such a nerve in the clubs.
Not bad, but it seems like a disco album for people who don't want to get up.
Very good. Almost all instrumental and quite well played. Different without being too weird. I do like too weird, and am to undertand that I should continue listening to Zappa to get weirder.
Excellent. This captures a certain mood that is hard to pin down but I love it. I see why it's so acclaimed.
You can hear the strings of rock to come in this relatively obscure one.
Not bad. Got my head bopping. Not an expert in the genre, but I enjoyed it.
Fun. Jaunty. Always a fan of some extra flute.
Ramblin' is certainly right! I dig this kind of folk/country a lot more than the kind of folk that came up in the '60s. It's more raw.
Fairly generic rock of the day. I never got the big deal with Rod Stewart It's fine I guess but there's so much better out there.
Not bad. Some big hits on it. Certainly got me grooving a bit, but nothing too mind blowing.
I enjoyed this. I'm not a huge fan of this kind of Brit rock but this album was good for me.
Singer is terrible. Band is ok. A solid 2.
A part of the bedrock that heavy metal was carved from. Fantastic.
I wasn't expecting much but this isn't bad. Some cool guitar work on several tracks.
Very good. Super chill out music but with a sense of urgency and sometimes dread.
Not bad, but definitely an influence for a lot of early '80s terrible smooth jazz. It sounds like every nonlyrical TV show intro from 1978-1983
Very good hard rock. Practically a template for the genre.
I can see how this is an example of a certain ideal, but I'm just not into Drum&Bass enough to be into it for 139 minutes. This would be good BGM for chill activity.
The version available on youtube music is the expanded version over 5 hours. I found out where the original endpoint was and finished there.
If you've heard one Motorhead album you've kind of heard them all. That being said, this is good. It's like if Black Sabbath was a punk band.
Not bad at all. They could use to tone down the reverb a bit.
Had me bopping in my chair. I'd always heard of Fela Kuti but I don't think I'd listened before.
Dylan has never really been my thing. That being said I enjoyed this album a lot better than when I first heard it when I was 16 in 1998.
Cool Afro-Cuban Jazz. I don't know much about the genre but I totally dug it.
A little sleepy for me but not bad. I always loved "Hazy Shade Of Winter."
This absolutely rules. Not a still booty in the house.
Amazing pop record. Easy 5. Madonna rules.
Cool stuff. I can see why it's popular in places.
The seminal grunge masterpiece. Eddie Vedder's distinct vice punches through some of the finest crafted rock guitars and drums of the '90s.
Not much of an impression left. It was fine.
This should have been a 15 minute sample CD handed out after shows.
Fantastic stuff. Deep Purple is one of the fundamental builing blocks of heavy metal. You can draw a straight line from this album to early Judas Priest.
Such abraisive noise! I mean that as a compliment.
None of these songs begin or end.
Not bad. Better than a lot of Brit Rock this has given me.
No skips. Electronica for alt-metal people.
Hated it. "I listened to Radiohead once" indy trash.
Middle of the road, unadventurous music. Not terrible.
Dark Side rules. Required listening for the inebriated. Animals is better.
This is a band that somehow missed me, but this is right up my alley. Very well done glam rock with attitude.
You listen to the first track "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" and think this clearly is the greatest metal track of all time. Then the second track, "Hangar 18" comes on and you reconsider. Easy 5.
The sound of a white man who has never had any problems.
Some of the best of what was at the time considered new school hip hop.
The strangest album I've heard here s far. Notes of East European industrial, John Williams, Queen, '80s demoscene influenced synth. Cool stuff.
Big double album here. Some really good stuff on it, but I preferred Purple Rain for its cohesiveness.
As advertised. About half an hour of crooning love songs. Not bad.
Pretty sure this guy wants to bang a horse tho.
No disrespect to Leonard Cohen who is an excellent songwriter and lyricist and all that, but this kind of low energy folk just never did it for me.
